me coming up with accidental symbolism in my fics

[lemonmaid]

A snip i need to get out of my head before bed. (Warnings pregnant reader, not proofed read, I'm so fucking tired)

Poly 141 x pregnant reader.

When you told the boys that you were pregnant, many many emotions but not one was negative towards you.

Johnny was excited, immediately thinking of names and happy that they almost have enough people for a football team (john thinks rugby would be a better sport but who is asking).

Simon who is immediately nervous due to his own family issues, he knows therapy can help with this but he'll be damn if he is ever like his father.

Kyle who is immediately thinking why it is important to know who the father is, even if he isn't the bio dad he is still gonna buy the proper hair products just in case.

John who is already crying, he is a big papa bear now and he couldn't be more happy.

Over the course of your pregnancy, the boys are literally waiting hand and foot for you.

Simon refuses to let you do anything on your own. You want to help with the nursery? No sit down and rest. You need to bend down and grab something you dropped? Nah call him even if he is at work.

John is up your ass about you doing exercises and taking your prenatal vitamins. He wakes you up at eight in the morning to do a light work out for your core muscle then makes you wind down for bed by 9 pm.

Johnny is always ready to make a snack run, even if John is against it, hell he even got back up emergency snacks in the car. Even though you all share an Alaskan king bed, reach over and shove him awake so he can do a quick errand.

Kyle is always with you when you are shopping, 100% he will agree with you on any clothing for the baby, you want the cutest expensive baby towel that is good for eczema? No problem. You think we should do cloth diapers? You're absolutely right, save nature.

When you have to get a body pillow/pregnancy pillow to support your stomach the boys are upset that they can't cuddle you without the pillow being in the way (or the little shit kicks them and it hurts you).

The boys love, LOVE it when you wear tight shirts, I mean look at that adorable bump and Jesus christ your breast have gotten so big.

Speaking of breast, Johnny is always looking at you like a kicked dog when you don't let him "help" you pump.

Please tell them when something hurts. Because these boys take everything too serious. When you started having braksion hicks, they were so paranoid. It got to a point where when you were in labor you didn't tell them untill they were 5 minutes apart. Which freaked them out, rushing you to the hospital.

The boys are 100% supportive of your birth plan, they really are.

But as soon as the contractions hit and they see your pained expression, they are immediately second guessing.

John is bluntly telling you to take the epidural.

Simon is rubbing your back telling you that there is no reward for having a natural birth.

But, you progress, practicing your breathing exercises, you've been training for this moment. You decided to bounce and roll on the yoga ball that was offered in the room, it help with the pressure.

Johnny is the one who has been trying to sneak you food, happy wife (or partner) happy life. But Kyle is nagging him how you cannot have food when you are close to labor (you're only 2 cm and it's been four hours).

Simon is encouraging you to sleep and rest, when you obviously can't Johnny is helping you recheck the diaper bag for the tenth time that night.

Kyle who is walking with you up and down the hall, purposely walking down the hall with the window where you can see the other newborns.

John who is now having panic attack, 'oh god I'm going to be a father'.

When it's finally time to start pushing, one of the nurses tries pushing out the others, thinking that John is the father. It wasn't untill your midwife told them to leave them be and that they can stay.

Simon and John who are holding your hands as you pushed, Johnny is playing with your hair to help distract you from the pain and Kyle is wiping your forehead.

When everyone hears the sharp cry that echoes in the room, the gasp is heard, when the newborn is placed on your chest, they can't help but shed a tear.

Simon and Johnny are telling you that you did an amazing job. Kyle is kissing your head, comforting your cries, John is watching the nurses every move with the newborn.

They all couldn't be more happier.

fun '80s romp. good movie :)

now time for Earth Girls are Easy..... see you on the other side o7

[foursaints]

I NEEEEEEEDDDD your Regulus Black hcs. What is he like in your head??? Is he a perfectionist???? Is he downright insane?????? Which Sturniolo brother is he????? I need details on EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

omg to start im not really a Regulus Blogger... i love him ofc but hes usually only in the background to my rosekiller. and i love all the regulus characterizations i read (more than my own sometimes tbh)

my controversial take is that my reggie is tall 😔..... he's small growing up but now he's the same height as James. who has a sort of furious, lustful conniption every time he wants to make a snide comment and remembers that The Baby Black is now a perfectly grown 20-something with unimpressed eyes and the world's unfairest aristocratic jawline

he and sirius both have that ethereal, feylike house-black thing going on, except sirius is prettier and more striking and softer and more girlish. like snow white. regulus looks every part the conventional pureblood heir: dark and austerely handsome and fine-boned and patrician. the thickest eyelashes.

undisputed leader of his friend group but not on purpose. reggie sees himself as this unappealing boring loser (the opposite of sirius) but he just has this? ineffable main-character thrall? once he's in your life you just want to die for him

he didnt mean to have the skittles but reggie can't help collecting outcasts & freaks like hes putting easter eggs in a basket. they really love each other but sometimes i see the slytherins as being a far more exaggerated version of the marauders perceived "roles": regulus as james (undisputed leader), barty as sirius (sexy ride-or-die), rosier twins as remus & peter ("nerds" 1 & 2)

very very tender and sensitive. perhaps more so than sirius

my reg is fastidious and organized and ALLEGEDLY an insane compulsive control freak like evan rosier. he has repressed every emotion he's felt for the last two decades under a cooly unbothered facade. except the difference is evan never slips up and regulus is having hysterical meltdowns into $5 chili's bottomless margaritas at least a couple times a month.

like he's eating a pint of ice cream alone in his car scream-sobbing to Since U Been Gone after he broke up with barty for the 800th time. #evanwouldnever

much love and respect to grumpy emo regulus but that is not my reggie... my reg is an posh antisocial City Gay drinking an extra dry martini at a gallery opening on the upper east side and scowling. wearing a fuzzy cream sweater and $800 loafers with no socks. his back hurts and he wants to go home

i fully believe he could survive being dropped in the alaskan wilderness with 0 supplies he just seems like he'd do whatever it takes to Survive etc. just like crafting a spear with the most "it is what it is" look in his eyes. wouldn't even faze him.

my modern au regulus works running one of those little stuffed animal hospitals repairing teddy bears and thats really important to me, personally,

LARROQUETTE POLL ROUND ONE RECAP

our original pool of sixteen sexy larroquette characters has been winnowed down to an elite eight. if your faves won the fight, congratulations! pat yourselves on the back for a vote well cast and a propaganda campaign well run. if your faves sadly did not emerge victorious, don't worry: the round one losers will have a bracket of their own after this tournament is over, so they'll all have one more shot at the crown.

let's meet our elite eight!

Billy Ace (Choose Me)

though David Bedford (Blind Date) fought the good fight, Billy Ace (of tall dark and handsome, leather jacket, and motorcycle riding fame) emerged victorious with 18 votes to 12. hopefully David will find consolation in his gigantic pile of teddy bears.

Carl Sack (Boston Legal)

his bitchiness, stoic demeanor and steadfast refusal to take part in the Shenanigans™️ around him have bewitched larroquette nation body and soul: Crane, Poole, and Schmidt senior partner Carl Sack beats serial killer-turned-attorney Joey Heric (The Practice) 33 votes to 9. 'no hard feelings,' says Joey amiably while sharpening his knives. sleep with one eye open, Carl.

Jenkins (The Librarians)

this race saw the highest voter turnout, and while things were close in the beginning, TWW's Lionel Tribbey's faithful cricket bat was no match for Jenkins's sword, or his crossbow, or his lightsaber, or his bow ties, or his clubbing outfit. with 36 votes to 24, our beloved caretaker moves onto the next round, and Lionel Tribbey can take a much needed vacation someplace warm, with as many drinks with little umbrellas in them as his heart desires <3

John Hemingway (The John Larroquette Show)

hemingway during the final hours of the race:

it was close, but our favorite well-read bus depot manager John Hemingway emerged victorious over ex cop turned lawyer curmudgeon with a heart of gold Mike McBride. congratulations john! see you next time, mcbride!

Bob Anderson (Baa Baa Black Sheep)

our good baby-faced second lieutenant took the lead early on and maintained it all the way to the end. rip Captain Stillman. back to commanding officer duty at an alaskan weather station you go.

Mark Bannister (Madhouse)

in a race that led many (my dear friend emily @footnoteinhistory) to ask Why Are You Doing This To Me, sexy yuppie driven to madness Mark Bannister (Madhouse) beats nice handsome single father Don Moore (Summer Rental) 26 votes to 9. Mark may be going onto the next round, but does he have a boat? No? Didn't think so.

Roan Montgomery (Chuck)

another nailbiter of a race, but much like rock beats scissors, legend suave debonair secret agent man (Roan Montgomery) beats cigar-smoking businessman with a predilection for child murder (Lawrence Van Dough) every time. off you go to your next assignment, Agent Montgomery. Mr. Van Dough, back to court-mandated community service on the sprawling lawns of the Rich mansion with you.

Dan Fielding (Night Court)

he couldn't beat a dead man, he couldn't beat a spunky blonde, but by god, our favorite ADA absolutely trounced paranormal detective Wilbur Willis (Second Sight) in a battle of sexiness. good work as always, mr. prosecutor - let's see if you've got what it takes to go all the way!

Round 2 will begin at 12pm CT on 9/16.

Which one of us were you reading about? ❤️‍🔥

⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽

You were sprawled out face down on your shared Alaskan king size bed in your London flat reading a new smut fic for one of your two favorite boys. You heard the front door open and two sets of footsteps walk inside. A minute later they make their way upstairs and into the master suite.

“Have you been a good girl while we were at training baby?” Mason asks you, checking on the toys they filled you with before leaving this morning. “Oh, fuck, Chris, you've gotta come look at how wet our girl is.”

“Mostly.” You reply, your smile hidden in the pillow.

“So, which one of us were you reading about this time?” Christian asks and unlocks your phone. They both know how dirty you are and they also enjoy playing out some of those dirty scenes they catch you reading. “Dammit.” Chris adds and pulls out a hundred to hand to Mase along with your phone. Mason can't help but smirk as he reads a few lines of the smutty fanfic about him.

He coughs when he reads a few lines that sound almost exactly like what he did with you while Christian was back in the States on international break. It was the one perk of having picked up an injury as far as he was concerned. Of course he was doing light work and physio to help rehab it, but that was just a couple hours a day. At home there was a lot of cockwarming and somewhat gentle fucking to distract you from accomplishing anything even remotely productive.

“Something you wanna confess baby?” Mase asked you pointedly. “Or do I need to tell him?”

You rolled over, carefully keeping everything in place and sat up a bit. “It was supposed to be a present for his October friendlies, but fine make me ruin it why don't you.” You whine and pout. “I was writing a smutty piece that I was going to send you links to, a chapter for each day while you were away, I was even going to take a few pictures and make a couple recordings for you.” You explain to Christian, getting excited while talking about it, you had thought it was a great idea. A way to help him not miss you both so much. Because you and Mase both know Chris is a total secret teddy bear most of the time.

“Ssh baby, I still want it, I'll love it.” Chris says and kisses you, effectively shutting you up so you don't spoil too much of his international surprise that if the current state of his cock has any say in he'll be making full use of.

Mase uses the app on his phone to turn the dual stimulator on your pussy and clit to a medium strength and the vibrating butt plug to the lowest setting. They can sync up together so that the vibrations are opposite each other, making it feel like the vibrations almost slide through you before circling back around and repeating. Just working you up more and more, but not quite enough to make you come, leaving you teetering on the edge, just the way they want you.

The boys join you in bed, sandwiching you in between them, Chris on his favorite left side and Masey on the right. The boys look at each other for just a second before pulling your tits out and taking them in their mouths, biting and teasing your nipples.

"Fuck," you pant. Feeling as though your body is not your own, just an instrument of pure pleasure that your boys have perfected playing. "Masey please, I need to come, I've been so good for you both." You beg of the boy whose phone is currently controlling the toys.

"If we let you come are you going to let us fuck all of your pretty holes?" Mase asks you.

"Anything you both want, just please, please, please let me come." You cry out, the onslaught of pleasure so intense it's borderline painful.

Hope you enjoyed! Feedback is appreciated!

Excerpt from this story from Mother Jones:

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is one of the Earth’s last intact ecosystems. Vast and little-known, this 19 million-acre expanse along Alaska’s north slope is home to some of the region’s last remaining polar bears, as well as musk oxen, wolvesm and wolverines. Millions of birds from around the world migrate to or through the region each year, and it serves as the calving grounds for the porcupine caribou.

Donald Trump has called the refuge the US’s “biggest oil farm.”

The first Trump administration opened 1.5 million acres of the refuge’s coastal plain to the oil and gas industry, and under Trump’s watch, the US government held its first-ever oil and gas lease sale there.

In a few weeks, when Trump takes office again, the refuge–one of the last truly wild places in the world–is awaiting an uncertain future.

The president-elect has promised to revive his crusade to “drill baby drill” on the refuge as soon as he returns to the White House in January, falsely claiming it holds more oil than Saudi Arabia. Project 2025, the conservative Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for Trump’s second term, calls for an immediate expansion of oil and gas drilling in Alaska, including in the ANWR, noting that the state “is a special case and deserves immediate action.”

From his end, Joe Biden is moving to limit drilling in the region as much as his administration can. Experts are debating how much oil and gas there is to gain if Trump were to open up the region for drilling again. But Alaska’s Republican governor and Native Alaskan leaders in the region say they are eager to find out—seeing the potential for a major new source of revenue in the geographically remote region.

Other Native leaders and activists have banded with environmental groups that oppose drilling on the refuge and are gearing up for an arduous battle.

“I see it as a David and Goliath fight,” said Tonya Garnett, a spokesperson for the Gwich’in steering committee, representing Gwich’in Nation villages in the US and Canada. “But we are resilient, and we are strong, and we’re going to keep fighting.”

Alaskan Shifter Romance

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person who is raised in Alaska must eventually develop either a deep soft spot or deep hatred for Alaskana in all its forms. I was raised in Alaska and I'm literally writing a blog post about how much I adore these Alaska-themed paranormal shifter romances, so you do the math on that one while I talk the Alaskan Totem Shifters books.

There are probably spoilers below the break, so just a heads up!

For those of you who follow this blog pretty closely, this series is set in the same universe as the Gladiator Shifter books, but without the gladiatorial backstory and localized to small-town Alaska. The vibes are on point, which is only to be expected since Murphy Lawless lived in Alaska for a while. (True Story: I once ran into her at a Barnes and Noble on a random day when I was buying Urban Shama, and she was absolutely lovely and signed my book. I was a speechless mess.) These books scratched an itch for home that pops up for me every once in a while; there really and truly is nowhere quite like Alaska on this earth.

Raven Heart follows Elena Peratrovitch as she works with her community, the government, and a bunch of billionaires to maintain conservation of the land versus exploitation and developement. This is somewhat complicated by small town dynamics, Alaska small town dynamics, and Richard freaking Yale, billionare Raven Shifter. Elena and Richard are basically fated mates, although I actually don't think the book uses that term.

Beyond the romance and the Alaska small-town vibes, the book also has a legitimately interesting contrast between Richard and his fellow shifter (albeit grizzly bear, not raven) and billionaire developer Derek Crown. Richard is all about sustainable, conservationist development, whereas Crown is all "drill, baby, drill" up in here, and he is very much not above kidnapping and murdering the opposition to get it done.

I was not expecting a shifter battle at the end of the book, but I was absolutely not mad about it either.

Overall, Raven Heart's 2016 publication date (four years before Gladiator Bear and a whopping seven years before Polar Heart) means that it doesn't slot terribly neatly into the shifterverse that Lawless would develop later, but it's not so far off from it that it's not clearly related, and Polar Heart is a really excellent bridge between the Gladiator Shifters and Raven Heart, so everything has a nice continuity and shared shifterverse.

Polar Heart follows Davinda Jackson (Elena's college bestie) and Isiah Moses during Shkalnik's mayoral election. Davinda is a wildlife photographer, which fully endears her to the shifter community when she offers to do portraits of them AND their shifted forms in what is one of the sweetest, most community-driven scenes I have ever read in any book ever, end of sentence. Where Elena and Richard felt very isolated, Davinda and Isiah are deeply embedded in the shifter and Shkalnik communities in a way that felt so Alaska. So honestly, this book is cozy in a way that Raven Heart wasn't, and actually manages to have a cozier community focus than the Gladiator Shifter books, which are all about the shifter worlds and communities.

On top of that, if Garius Beren (of Gladiator Bear fame) was the most bear a person could be, Isaiah is EVEN MORE BEAR. He is literally a giant polar teddy bear of a man, and his house also looks like a polar bear, which is just adorable. It even has EARS.

In addition to the sheer cozy adorableness, this book ends on just THE most epic takedown of a literal Outsider Karen politician who is trying to expose shifters to the world. This takedown is epic, utterly gratifying, and quite frankly the best thing I've read in a WHILE.

Overall, I very much hope we see more entries in the Alaska Totem Shifters series because both these books have been incredible in their own ways, and I would happily read more.

if y'all didn't know there's a live cam where you can watch bears catching salmon in alaska and there is always some drama. yesterday "Chunk 32" bit a baby bear that was swept down the falls away from its mama bear and she charged Chunk 32—and several other bears to save her cub. The cub got away safely with minor injuries.

want bear drama in your life? here you go.

what would the emerson’s be as animals?

I'm gonna pretend that this hasn't been sitting in my inbox for almost a year 🧍

I think as a family, I would imagine them as bears.

Bears are primarily solitary animals with the exception of a mother and her cubs, which I think is fitting for the Emerson family.

Individually:

Michael:

He would still be a bear, I think. I think he'd either be a Grizzly Bear or a Sun Bear. Grizzly Bears can be pretty agressive and aren't the type to run away from a threat, and they rest during the day when it's hot out. They're pretty reclusive and also really cute. Sun Bears are pretty strong and only fight when provoked, but otherwise they're relitively shy. I think they're cute, but there's something fundimentally Wrong about them and I thought that would be fitting for Mike lmao.

Sam:

I think he'd be an Alaskan Klee Kai. Alaskan Klee Kai are like miniature Huskies, but they aren't very hyper. They're intelligent and tend to be very suspicious of strangers. They're also known to have a sense of humor and play tricks on their owners lmao.

Lucy:

She'd be an elephant. Hear me out. Elephants are typically peaceful, but are known to be very protective of their young and rush to the aid of a distressed baby that isn't their own. They're very social creatures and are incredibly playful no matter their age. Also, some elephants have been observed to be spiritual in the sense that they perform ritualistic behaviours that imply that they worship the moon, which reminds me of Lucy's past of being a hippie.

I wasn't able to figure out an animal for Grandpa Emerson because he's just a Weird Fucking Guy, so suggestions are welcome!

The Alaskan Coquette Aesthetic

~summer time bring bikini tops, rubber boots, and shorts.  Her skin is tan from nude sunbathing in the hours and hours of daylight. There are scratches and mosquito bites on her skin but a few owies are never going to stop her from going out and having fun. 

~ winter time brings cute leggings and big socks under long fur collared snow suits and pilot hats.  Her nose is rosy from the cold and sometimes there’s a sparkling frost on her eyelashes.  When she comes inside it’s hot chocolate and fresh baked sourdough bread.

~she’s always looking around, aware.  Whether she’s fishing at the riverside and looking out for bears and eagles, or at the ski slope looking for a cutie to sit and have a drink with, this girl never misses a thing.

~ she’s always prepared and always independent.  She has wrenches and an emergency kit in her car.  She can reattach a muffler to a truck and patch a ripped jacket equally well. 

~ she can hunt, fish, hike, snowmachine, build a cabin as well as the guys, while making it look easy. 

~ always eager to learn, she listens to her elders, especially old women.

~she is eco-concious, being so close to nature. using bio-degradable, natural, locally made, or used products are a must. 

Staples of the Alaskan Coquette are:

~good winter gear. It gets cold here, so whether it’s thinsulate boots found at the thrift store, a fur lined cap purchased from an elderly woman, or a pair of Oakly snow pants gifted by a boyfriend, the Alaskan coquette is above all, warm. After all, the secret to having fun in the winter is staying warm! You can coordinate or match your snow gear.  Anything with a vintage aesthetic, like bomber jackets, pilot hats, and hooded parkas is gonna look killer as long as it’s warm! Leather, fur, down, and wool are good for keeping warm and are more eco friendly than plastics.

~during the non-snowy months, our coquette wears xtra toughs or other rubber rain boots.  The ground is muddy but there’s enough tread to conquer almost any terrain. You never know when you need to cross a stream or run through the muskeg. These shoes are easy to slip off before running in the house so you don’t track mud everywhere, and they come in so many cute patterns! You can get taller ones which are reminiscent of go-go boots, which look killer with demin short-shorts and and a crop top. As for clothing, wear something that is sturdy and easy to wash.  Carhartts are commonly worn up here because they’re tough and last a long time. light long sleeves are also popular because of the mosquitoes.  Cotton and linen are light and good for keeping cool, and are more eco friendly than plastics.

~the coquette smells like citronella.  A less harsh natural alternative to DEET and other commercially available bug repellents, it also smells lovely.  Lavender, mint, and wildflower are also good scents if you’re looking for a perfume.

~alaskan coquette makeup is simple, if at all, and rarely relies on thinks like foundation or concealer which could smudge, get cakey, or cracked, besides, you tend to lose your color during the dark long winter months, and gain it back in the long summer days. I really cannot stress how much of a difference 20 hours of sunlight a day makes in terms of a glowing complexion. focus on the lips and eyes, with reds or pale glossy pinks for the lips, paired with long lashes and either no or nude eye make up, or frosty pale makeup. Very pale or sun-burn prone coquettes will use a gentle baby sunblock during the summer. It protects and moisturizes the skin, and also leaves a pleasant scent. Vaseline, or cottonwood balm on the skin can prevent being cold chapped during the winter. The three most important alaskan coquette staples are: ~a good moisturizer ~a good chapstick ~sunblock for the summer

~ the alaskan coquette will often keep her long hair up in braids, ponytails, pigtails, or other styles that keep it out of her face while she’s active.  Milkmaid braids, dutch and french braids, are good for a long term hold with a cute look.  A coquette with more coily hair will find a dual purpose in protective hairstyles, in that they keep the hair safe while keeping it put up out of the way.

But of course, some coquettes opt to cut their hair short and forgo the hassle altogether.
