Hii! I love your writing sm!!! I'd like to request Jane Doe with a reader that really likes biting her, like leaving lots of hickeys and bite marks over her body...basically just body praise with Jane :3

Jane Doe with a S/O who loves to bite her

note -> I refuse to watch her teaser/trailer it was disgusting they had to ruin her character ugh.

warnings -> SUGGESTIVE CONTENT WRITTEN BY A MINOR!!

content includes -> fluff, suggestive, hickeys/bite marks, teasing.

The first time you bit her, she was caught off guard, you had been kissing her, your lips trailing across her neck, but when your teeth sank into her skin, a soft noise left her lips that she hadn’t expected, she didn’t understand why, but she liked it

Jane plays it off like it doesnt affect her much, rolling her eyes whenever you lean in with that familiar glint in your eyes, but she actually she finds it strangely intimate, theres something about the way you mark her, the little bites and hickeys you leave, that makes her feel wanted in a way shes not used to

It doesnt take long before Janes body becomes a canvas for your affection, her neck, her shoulders, even her thighs—you leave little marks everywhere, and she never complains, when she looks in the mirror, catching sight of the fading bites, she smiles to herself, knowing its your way of showing love

Jane never lets on how much she likes it when others notice the marks you had left on her, she keeps her cool, acting like its no big deal, but deep down, she loves the possessive nature of it, the way people glance at her neck, at the bites peeking out from under her clothes, knowing they’re from you—it makes her feel like shes yours in a way words cant describe

Jane isnt above teasing you for your habit, teasing you, smirking as you leave yet another hickey on her collarbone, but she never stops you—if anything, she tilts her head to give you better access, her smirk deepening as your bites get more playful

There are moments when Jane catches you eyeing her neck or her bare skin, and she will subtly lean closer, giving you the chance to mark her again, she would never admit it outright, but she likes the way it feels, the sensation of your teeth against her skin, the slight sting that reminds her she’s yours

While Jane might act laid-back, the bite marks you leave on her stir something protective in her, she likes knowing that those marks are from you, that only you have the privilege of leaving them, if anyone ever tried to flirt with her, she would casually glance down at the hickeys you left, a quiet but clear signal that she’s taken

Jane lets you bite her pretty much anywhere, whenever you want. She’s casual about it, shrugging off any embarrassment or discomfort, when you're curled up together, your hands trailing across her skin, she will give you that knowing smile, wordlessly giving you permission to leave more marks, she is abke to hide them pretty well so she doesnt really care

Jane is confident and usually the one in charge, but when it comes to this, she likes letting you take control, the moment you start trailing kisses and bites along her neck, she melts a little, her guard slipping as she lets you have your way with her, she wont say it, but the way she relaxes into your touch says it all

As time goes on, Jane starts looking forward to your little bites, the marks you leave on her skin, she might not be vocal about it, but the way she subtly shifts to give you better access, the way her breath hitches when you sink your teeth into her skin, all hint at just how much she enjoys being yours

atsushi nakajima ★↷

your relationship with the were-tiger was nothing short of more than a workplace rivalry. you hadn't been working there much longer than he had but upon his first few days, he saw you as quite the respectable colleague and in turn aspired to become more like you in the workplace.

you recognised this quite early and saw it as a friendly competition. and soon he caught on. and that's how the friendly workplace rivalry had begun. wether it was with paperwork or actual missions you both turned it into a competition. and the other members of the agency found it either entertaining, or rather childish but let it be either way.

however you both knew the limits of when to stop the rivalry and that was often during difficult missions. and now more than ever atsushi understood what had drawn him to you in the first place. but it seemed to late as he watched the life drain from your body with now one in the vicinity abke to help. now he had realised everything, but now you were dead.

this whole time he was so oblivious to yours and his feelings but now it was too late he understood them. and even now he couldn't help but still have you occupy his mind. he thought about you constantly, you and everything he wished had gone differently. and before he knew it a day had passed and he hadn't even returned to work after the mission, going straight home.

he didn't want to go back to work but he knew it would do him no good sitting around thinking of you, atleast maybe this would distract him. but as he walked into the office dazai walked up to him with a rather happy smile and asked him to follow. atsushi mindlessly followed until dazai opened a door they had stopped at, atsushi couldn't believe his eyes. there you stood, unharmed and perfectly fine.

he was inclined not to believe what he was seeing but you knew what he was going to think and quickly shut down any misconceptions. now he had the time to work out his feelings but for now he embraced you and sobbed into your shoulder, getting you to promise never to scare him like that again.

osamu dazai ★↷

from the minute you had first met dazai, you had quite honestly thought he was quite annoying. he often teased you about everything and would try and embarrass you constantly. so what better thing to do then reciprocate the feeling. starting a very long lasting rivalry that made him quite smug knowing that he started it.

wether you worked with him or not he would find a way to annoy you on the daily just for you to return the favour. to anyone else it looked like a very childlike rivalry but they never said anything. but one of the main reasons for the rivalry was for the fact that dazai wasn't that good with genuine feelings.

he never knew how to get across specific feelings to be more exact. from the moment he had met you he knew that he wanted to be someone to you but had no idea how to go about that as mostt relationships he had were most likely to get something out of it and were a one time thing. so he was ultimately lost and the only way he could think of keeping you close was to start a petty rivalry. he never wanted to lose you.

and even knowing that most things he cared for were lost, he let himself get slightly closer to you. close enough that to him it seemed as if fate cruelly ripped out any chance of him hoping to further the relationship with you. and that came in the form of having to witness your death. he was in disbelief, he had tried so hard to avoid this bit here it was and it hurt none the less.

it had completely destroyed his mask seeing you die. he felt more somber and returned home to let it out within the scarce comfort of his four walls. and before he knew it, it was morning. he had debated not going into work but then people would notice something up and ask questions and he didn't want that. so with a heavy-heart he went to work yet again, mind consumed with thoughts about you.

however as he arrived at the agency he walked into the room where his and other desk were held just to see you sat there at his desk with the most smug smile he had ever seen. he quickly caught on to what had happened and internally cursed himself for forgetting. you truly had the last laugh. but he was so relieved that nothing truly bad had happened to you, and so relieved he hadn't held you for fear his ability may of gotten in the way.

doppo kunikida ★↷

the last thing anyone expected form him was to have a childish rivalry with you. yet here he was and for reasons that no-one knows, he had a very childlike rivalry with you. you found it very entertaining and therefore only teased him or tried to one up him more which often lead to making it even worse.

throughout the whole time, he bad thought he just had a weird hatred for your insistent teasing. but for reasons that escaped him he felt something more for you but never really acknowledged them.

however he wishes maybe he could've accepted them, and maybe you two would've developed beyond the rivalry. but now he had watched you die. he was in disbelief initially, there was no way you had died. and all at once it had hit him, the realisation that he would never see you again and never hear your teasing remarks. it was rare for him to diverge from his schedule, but the lack of sleep he got that night was from the tears that flowed endlessly.

he truly didn't want to go into work, but that would further mess up his schedule and maybe he could distract himself from the thoughts of you that occupied his mind. as he entered the building he was faced with something he could only imagine was his mind playing a cruel trick on him. it was you, unharmed and perfectly fine.

you had to quickly explain yourself as you could tell how confused and upset he was. he cursed your ability for making him worry that much but he also thanked it, thanked it for keeping you alive until he finally understood his feelings.

chuuya nakahara ★↷

he was known for being quite the confident person. that was no doubt. so when you had shown up and started teasing him and just overall annoyed him he wasn't sure what to do. but of course his natural instinct was to just do it back, and hence your rivalry started. always trying to one up or embarrass the other. often getting into petty arguments or small childlike squabbles.

whatever the reason you had initially started teasing him may or may not compare to what he was currently feeling. somewhere along the way he started developing something that he didn't quite know what it was or why he had started feeling this way. and he didn't quite know what to do with these feelings so for now he stuck to continuing this rivalry.

but maybe he should've hurried up with trying to understand his feelings. because now he thought he eould have no other chances. he had experienced alot of deaths, some personal and others just part of his job but your death was one of the worst he had ever experienced. and all of a sudden, affter watching your death he became even more painfully aware of his feelings.

everything seemed a bit more dull to him. finishing the mission, deciding to leave early and eventually going to bed. every action felt meaningless and his mind wasn't focused on tasks, more so focused on you and what could've been. he went to bed with a clouded mind and a dull ache in the back of his mind.

even going into work felt wrong. knowing you wouldn't be there to tease or mock him. but to his very surprise there you stood. stood unharmed and rather smig standing next to koyo. he thought this couldn't be real and that this was a cruel trick. but you had noticed him and very aware of what he was thinking, explained everything to him.

you truly had one upped him again. he had yelled at you telling you never to scare him like that, but you couldn't help but laugh at how honest he had finally became with his feelings.

ryunosuke akutagawa ★↷

a very unlikely relationship to most but neither of you cared. you two had built a very much silent rivalry between you, always trying to be better than the other or just mocking the other whenever the chance presented itself. you found it fun from the very beginning, amd akutagawa at first found it annoying but too had found some entertainment in it.

none one knows quite why you both started the rivalry, not even you two. you just knew that this rivalry had gone on for a while and never ceased to be entertaining. and eventually you bith equally felt as if there was something more between you, not just the petty rivalry but something much deeper. sadly, neither of you had the courage to speak up about.

but now he wished he did. after all this time he wished you had stayed with him just a bit longer, to help him figure out these feelings that you had spurred in him. it seemed unfair. but here you were, presumed dead in the middle of battle with akutagawa as a witness. he couldn't believe it, he almost wanted to be angry at you for leaving him, for dying. but he knew that was selfish as this couldn't be helped. or maybe it could and he didn't try hard enough.

to a passerby he would seem unfased by the whole ordeal. but to people closer to him, for example gin, they would notice his slightly more vacant stare, the look of regret and maybe remorse in his eye. you occupied his mind still, and while he never could say things to you he wished to, he could say them to himself and think of you again and again.

only a day had passed to his surprise, it felt longer atleast. but it was yet another day of work for him made slightly less bearble by your lacking presence. but before he could even get near the building he noticed someone familiar on the steps. there stood you, unfazed and unharmed. he couldn't believe his eyes and demanded an explanation. one you gladly gave him.

he was thankful for your ability, not that he would say it out loud, but it had saved you. but he also wishes you never scare him like that ever again. and may of given you a stern scolding for making him worry.

paul verlaine ★↷

complicated was one way to describe your relationship with the blondette. complicated in more ways than one. you had met through a mutual friend years ago, rimbaud. despite his previous attitudes and personality he seemed act differently towards you and you the same. you both had started a simple sort of rivalry that made it very tempting to tease and make snarky comments toward the other.

but despite this unwavering rivalry, it did seem that you two did get along. if maybe you pushed aside your childlike rivalry you two would have quite the strong friendship. however there were a few reasons for this not happening - mainly to do with verlaine. he did not trust easily and it didn't help you both had similar jobs. hr could feel deep down that you were someone that was genuine, with little thanks to rimbaud being the one to introduce you. but he couldn't help but start these petty arguments as an attempt to push you away.

but as if it was a cruel fate, soon after he had started slowly letting his walls down. he cursed himself over and over again for letting himself let it get to this. a mission gone wrong and now he had watched you die. he felt as if it was a punishment and tried to move on from it but no matter what he could only remember you. he wanted nothing more than to forget that memory or atleast stop cursing himself that he could've done more.

the next morning he had not stopped thinking about you, no matter what he tried he just couldn't move on. that was until rimbaud had walked in and said he had something to show him. that was until you stepped through the doo, perfectly fine. he thought he was the victim of a very cruel trick but quickly realised after your explanation that it was your stupid ability. he was overjoyed of course but he wished you had told him first.

you however couldn't help but tease him about his worrysome state. the smug smile made him realise something. you were someone he probably could trust, someone he wouldn't lose for a very long time.

I dont and never will drink alchohol but I am abseloutly inlove with the fact that wine wine gets better the older it is and people will drink it decades later and its considered a delicasy when it is Very Old. Do me a favour and imagine you are being gifted with the odlest wine in the world. How did you get it? Maybe you saved someone and they gave it to you as a thanks or paiment, maybe you were gifted it by an ancient god. Most foods are higher quality the fresher they are, but New can forever be made again and again be New. Old cant. You can never again have wine be that old ever again. It is do so rare and so so specail and is likley worth more than any currency in the world on acount of its Ancientness (like you technically can name a price for it but will it be worth it?) and so youre stuck with the dillema of what to do with it because on one hand it is So Rare. Ther eis nothing in the world as rare as that wine is. So will you drink it? It will be gone faster than a blink compare to how long it was fermenting. Its a gift from a god; a shadow cast by a now long dead world and you are standing in its ashes. Or perhaps do you save it. Wait for the right opportunity you keep telling yourself will one day come and you will be abke to drink that older than civilizations wine. But deep in your heart you know you cant. Not that wine. Its too precious. The time of it being drunk was gone a long time ago; before it was as precious as it was. So will you save it? Will you never drink it will you leave it forever sitting there until future scholars future foolish inconsequential mortals such as you will find it. You will be Condamning them to the same fate. Or worse! Someone could find it and not know of its value - not know of its history not know what a gift it is not know they need to savour it. Which, yes, they will be avoiding your cruel fate but then your wine will be gone unappriciated. Your divine gift. A joke. You begin to wonder if it were not all a cruel prank by a mind older than you can comprehend with intentions far beyound your imagination. What are you to them? Barely a speck of dust. Yet they gave you this wine. This ancient gift. A gift like no other. Do you leave it in your basement for years to come? Till it is part of the earth it's grapes grew out of? Youre only mortal after all. You dont deserve a gift as divine as that ancient wine.

The hair that drops in clumps on the floors of some salons in Kiel, a port city in northern Germany, is swept up to be turned into fabrics that filter oil from water. Parents who want to buy their children cloth nappies instead of disposable ones can apply for grants of up to €200 from the local authorities. At the city’s biggest festival last year, the organisers got rid of single-use cutlery and replaced it with a deposit system.

Germany is famed as a world leader in recycling – and Kiel, as I found out during a visit this summer, has some of the most weird and workable plans in the country to deal with its trash. It is the first German city to be declared “zero waste” by the environmental campaign group Zero Waste Europe. The certificate does not mean it has already stopped throwing things away – far from it – but rather that it has a concrete plan for how to do better.

“It’s one step in the right direction,” says Bettina Aust – a Green party politician who was elected president of Kiel city council in June – over a glass of juice made from apples that had been saved from landing in a supermarket bin. “You have to keep thinking further … You cannot stay still.”

Germany has a complicated relationship with waste. Despite its status as a world leader in recycling, Europe’s biggest economy is also one of its dirtiest. In 2021, the average German generated 646kg of waste, while the average EU citizen generated 530kg. Only in four EU countries – Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark and Belgium – did people throw away more.

Dino Klösen, a manager at Kiel’s waste management company ABK, says trends in the country’s consumption can be seen in its bins. Paper recycling bins that would have once been full of newspapers are now bursting with cardboard from delivery packages. “The weight of paper waste has dropped but the volume keeps rising from online shopping,” he says.

Awash with waste, cities like Kiel are exploring ways to throw away less and recycle more of what it does chuck. The city council has announced projects ranging from a ban on single-use items in public institutions, to installing more public drinking fountains, to teaching schoolchildren about waste. It is also encouraging people to make simple changes to their behaviour such as using solid bars of soap instead of buying plastic bottles of the stuff.

Other proposals are more systemic. The city is trialling a “pay as you throw” system where people are charged only for the rubbish they throw in the mixed waste bin. A report from the European Environment Agency last year found only about 30% of Germany is covered by such a scheme, even though areas that were covered saw an average drop in mixed waste of 25%.

“General waste is the most expensive form of rubbish there is,” says Klösen. “We are trying to motivate citizens to throw less waste in the bin by making them pay less for doing so.”

Even though waste-cutting efforts like Kiel’s are fairly novel in Germany, recycling is firmly rooted in the culture. In 2021, Germans collected more than two-thirds of their municipal solid waste to be repurposed – more than any other country in Europe. They burned most of the rest for energy, and dumped just 1% in landfills (the EU average is 16%).

☕Zero-G Coffee Makers

They make those endless nights through the starry void just a little more bearable. Each thumper has at least a hundred of these bad boys to keep the crew going. Might be a bit heavy, but it's worth every kilogram!

A bit of insight into the Hufschmidt 5600, a sleek and complex device with 55 different modes, often used on Coalition thumpers.

The standard coffee maker of the interplanetary Union - the Sultan ABK-1568 - doubles as a bludgeoning tool, and makes a strange grinding noise.

Finally, the RUSL 229 is what spacers reach for when they settle. Better than a capsule, but worse than a proper brew.

Kink game. Robots

Robots!

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |

LET ME FUCK A ROBOT! LET ME BE A ROBOT AND GET FUCKED!

Eroticism of the machine my beloved.

Give me robot girlfriend who will let me take her apart and tinker, who gets off on seeing herself dcattered across the workbench. I'm more mechanically inclined than i am with programming, so we'd need another gf who could do all that stuff (the more girlfriends the better). But even without that consideration, getting all sweaty and geimy from working on her hydrolics? Picking up her detached head to make out with when she's talking too much and distracting me during my work? Getting to mix and match her parts, rearranging her guts in more ways than one? Installing different mods based on what we have to do each week? Making a quick swap station so if she wants to be weaker or stronger or more or less humanoid she can and then surprise me when i get home with different genitals or mechanized tentacles or obscene strength or multiple bodies? Fuck, running diagnostics when she's under the weather and being abke to fix it rather than deal with american healthcare? Someone else being willing and able to do all this for me??

I want nothing more than to be hot trans butch motorcycle lesbian punk mechanic with a robot gf who will let me tinker on her in the garage. Or to be her robot girlfriend

[tommyssupercoolblog]

Guys something that genuinely helped me was this matching game where they had different people make different faces and I had to identify first who all was making a face for a specific emotion, and then who all was the same person

It would get harder as you progressed and when you finished a level there was spinning things and other sensory stuff on screen to reward you

When we were little we couldn't recognize our mom and would almost get into stranger's cars because we didn't know how to recognize her face. So she got us this game and we played for about a year or two I think?

Now people we see all the time like our parents are easy to recognize. People we just met or are acquaintances with are still hard (or friends we don't see faces of usually), but as we see them more often we start to be abke to recognize them. We are still unable to recognize people we haven't seen in a few years because their face isn't fresh anymore, but if our dad gets a haircut then we will still know it's him even though it still startling/unnerving, because we're better at faces than we used to be. I can see photos of a youtuber I watch often that are taken years apart with different hair and clothes and still tell it's the same person.

I can't remember the name right now but if you can find a similar game to play it could really help w facial recognition if u struggle with it rlly bad like we do.

[kankuroplease]

I love your art but U think you are suffering from Same Face Syndrome… as an artist I get that too, but it’s so repetitive in ur art. All the girls have the same face shapes, nose, eyes, body type and lips. If you remove the colors and hair you could not be abke ti tell the difference .., same with the guys… they all have stocky necks, long faces, same nose and same eyes… I hope u improve in the future

Thank you! Honestly,I don’t care about same face syndrome. It’s not like I’m making my own original content, 80% of it’s for an anime with same face syndrome. Anyone can make up fearures up for characters with already established features, I just chose not to 😂

I could brake down to you how exactly you’re wrong picture for picture, but again, I don’t actually care enough to.

But imagine if I did. Imagine if I was insecure enough to care about what someone who doesn’t even have the nerve to try and critique another artist non-anonymously. Thats a shitty high horse to be on. That’s some nerve. Do better and good luck with YOUR art.
