#Baby Your A Jive Cat

[soulmusicsongs]

Baby Your A Jive Cat - Sheila Wilkerson (Baby Your A Jive Cat /Can You Do It, 1969)

[olderthannetfic]

I have sorta an opposite problem re: the whole childfree thing. In that, I adore kids, even babies! My little nephew isn't a year old yet and he's already one of my favourite people with his big smiles and giggles. Problem is, I don't want kids for myself - I'm pretty physically frail and anxious, so I know taking care of a baby full-time is a HORRIBLE idea for me for many reasons, and I'm way happier just babying my cat. But I have family members still like, "oh but you're so good with babies! You'll change your mind ;)" even though I definitely won't.

But I don't feel welcone in childfree spaces either because I don't hate kids, at all, and I get so squigged out about how people can sometimes talk about kids like they're inhuman demon things built solely to annoy. I don't care if people just don't jive with kids, I get that, but I don't jive with being mean to/about them.

--

It's amazing how often people conflate being good at something or even liking it with it being a good idea as a lifestyle choice. Applies to careers, raising kids, adopting a bunch of pets...

your frosted fairytale is complete ! pssst, @stopisa ! your name has been added to the frosted fairytales library. your assigned au with dabi is . . . grease (1978) !

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first of all . . . your playlist ! hopelessly devoted to you, olivia newton-john // only girl (in the world), rihanna // rock this town, stray cats // (we're gonna) rock around the clock, bill haley & his comets // tainted love, imelda may // you're the one that i want, john travolta + olivia newton-john // wild child, lee rocker // tutti frutti, little richard // born to hand jive, sha na na.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how about some imagery . . .

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ put it all together and you get . . .

"oh come on sugar," there's a cheeky grin on his face as the dark haired male sides up to you, the sheer amount of gel in his hair enough to turn it to stone. you figure a lot of effort goes into his morning routine, "can't i at least get ya name?"

"i don't think you quite need it," you respond promptly, folding your arms across your chest. he's so close now that you can smell the leather jacket on his shoulders and faintly, car oil. you swore you recognised him from school but maybe you were just imagining things. one thing is for sure, he was distracting you from getting the snacks you were tasked with getting.

friday night drive-ins were part of your weekly routine with your girls, hair permed and full of hairspray. you'd always hop into one of their cars, sharing snacks and gossiping about love lives - or your lack of one, rather. whilst lost in your thoughts, one of dabi’s arms sneaks around your shoulders to pull you into his side. you stumble in your heels, forced to place your hands on him to balance out the effect of his actions.

dabi wishes he could commit the scowl on your face to memory, especially that sharp sparkle in your eye when they narrow at him. with your chests pressed together, dabi navigates his arm from your shoulders to your waist, tugging you a little closer. warm breaths mingle, fanning across each other's faces.

"isa!" crap. you pull away from dabi before the tall man gets a second chance to react, your friends’ calls for you echoing across the drive-in. how long had it been since you'd left to get snacks? dabi is barely a thought when you turn on your heel to regroup with your presumably concerned friends - with empty hands, no less.

there's little to no attempt to chase you once you make the move to leave, leaning back on his impeccably well-kept 1948 ford de luxe convertible with a small, smug look on his face. dabi can't help but feel that maybe, just maybe, he won that interaction when your name falls from his lips in a murmur, "isa, huh?"

── oh my goodness , isa baby ! the joy i had finding out dabi was the ship sent to me . . . i knew exactly what i wanted to do ! grease au with dabisa ? ! i think so ! enjoy, darling . .✦

[tiredassmage]

heehoohee, my time iS COME, @eorzeashan​ tagged me for FFXIV ocs but in SWTOR (no apology needed, I do love me some tags, lol) and... conveniently, I have a head start, of sorts, on this because I have already transplanted several of my XIV ocs into SWTOR, lol.

Also the amount of times I’ve threatened to government assign my friends WoLs a SWTOR class bc I’m nothing if glutton about this silly space dress up simulator, I mean rpg is... Well, it’s worked on one of them as far as actually bringing them over, hehehe.

Long post with pictures incoming because I LOVE showing off my pixel idiots.

Astor is my XIV main, on Sage since Endwalker dropped and I fell in loovvveeee, and previously a White Mage and then Astrologian from ARR-SHB and SHB-EW, respectively. Also I made him look way more fierce than average in this screen akdfnalkdsfs (I’ve been major slacking on XIV), don’t let that determined slanted eyebrow fool you, he’s a fucking softie who lets his unicorn eat his flowerbeds with no more repercussions than the 500th disappointed father sigh she’s heard in the last week.

And I take him everywhere. Astor isn’t exclusively a XIV character, but rather an OC that’s stuck with me out of high school for something like... six years, I think? Going on seven? Astor’s always been a mage and, particularly, a healer of notable prowess; he adapted rather readily to being a Jedi Consular. I’d love to say badumtsss, he’s a Jedi Sage, but I did try it originally and just couldn’t jive with it, so “Astserses” (his SWTOR counterpart) is a Shadow/Sentinel. Because I’m a little a lot into the saberstaff that can be swapped for dual wielding sabers aesthetic and also trying to beat the Gemini Captain and that hell room of droids on Iokath was a BITCH when I was a baby Shadow who probably didn’t understand half of what would have helped me along.

Also because I’m a big scaredy cat for some reason about doing group content on SWTOR when I have done on-level extremes for XIV with no problem I don’t know, okay? I’m here for the silly space opera adventures, not to overly invest in learning job mechanics again, I think.

Next be Shay! Who’s a DRK/DRG/RPR in XIV and my original Sith Inquisitor in XIV! Shay’s entire arc as a character revolves around coming from a family that never really gave him the time of day; he spends a lot of his time avoiding relationships with others because of a series of heartbreaks and betrayals that mold him into a snappy, lone-wolf kind of bastard. The one thing he prided himself on was combat prowess. Even accompanying Airi (@fatewalker-phoenix fame) in their adventures as the Warriors of Light, Shay never really applies the title to himself; he’s the help. The get your hands bloody muscle, so she didn’t have to. I’ve toyed also with the idea of doing a Sith Warrior run for him bc the whole light/dark destiny dynamic is also incredibly his alley, but the raw power and rags to riches run of Inquisitor better suits his story. IIRC I just mirrored his Marauder into Sentinel.

He’s kind of overdramatic about being an angry bastard nobody should trust, tbh, so like... the drama of Inquisitor. I might yet have to revisit the Warrior thoughts though. He’d be interesting to pair with Vette.

Theo is my Rogue/Machinist I really need to get the hell out of HW afterstory already, but HW is SO LONG for me, anYWAY. The most recent of my transitions, Theo StarWar edition is a Smuggler currently on Mercenary because I really wanted 2 guns, but didn’t care for gunslinger and I seriously Cannot keep playing Operatives/Scoundrels, I just. I so would. I absolutely would. But stars, I need to do this variety thing.

Theo is the kind of character that lives rent-free in my walls. He’s chaotic. He’s “back at it again at the Krispy Kreme” energy. Smuggler is literally perfect. Deceptively, Theo was also rather smart. He spent several years studying various magical techniques after an injury blinded him in his left eye. One of his favorite ways to be a Nuisance is to switch fluently and without batting an eye between Lominsan Rogue’s Guild-speak to discussing aetheric relations in nearly perfect scholarly lingo. He’s just as likely to talk circles around his enemies as knife them.

Kres as his SWTOR counterpart is maybe a bit more blunt and slightly more impatient about the whole ordeal, but he would, in fact, still claim he could charm the horns off a Krayt Dragon. And I’d about believe him.

Which just leaves my bunboy Bas of my semi-main XIV characters that I haven’t actually taken over to SWTOR, but I also haven’t done a lot with XIV Bas to begin with. He’s primarily a SAM/RPR, but I think I picked up BRD on him, too bc I prefer ranged DPS in XIV. (Ironically I tend to prefer melee in SWTOR, it seems.) His story, in brief, is a former Dalmascan who was conscripted into the Imperial forces and eventually staged a bloody escape and prison break of several other prisoners he’d been held with before he made his way to Eorzea with somewhat disgraced and lost Garlean soldier Peregrine (again @fatewalker-phoenix​ fame) in-tow whom he’d eventually form an unexpected and odd, hard to describe friendship, almost mentor-ish relationship with.

Both of them suffer from identity crises, tbh. My strongest arguments would probably be Guardian Jedi Knight or an Operative Bounty Hunter. (I need a full on blade wielding tech class, SWTOR. Gimme.) Probably stronger favoring for Jedi Knight because of the whole crisis of place and purpose and destiny thing, but Bas did fashion himself as something of a Bounty Hunter between the prison break and falling in as an adventurer in Eorzea, so. It’d fit maybe aesthetics-wise, but less certain about the story part.

@finalgrrrls said: 🎧!

(peek into my muse's playlist - open!)

//hell yeah hell yeah!!!! so i'm gonna do a fun thing and answer this twofold--with five song salvatore likes, and then five songs i associate with him.

Salvatore Songs (not all of these are songs that came out when he was human, but they're all the general vibe of music he likes):

Louis Prima - Jump, Jive, An' Wail

The Stray Cats - Stray Cat Strut

Cherry Poppin' Daddies - Zoot Suit Riot

(i have a lot of feelings about this song in particular--he would've only discovered it after his release, but he'd love it so much as it would remind him of music he listened to as a human)

Dean Martin - Ain't That A Kick in the Head

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - You & Me & The Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)

and now a few songs i associate with him that he either wouldn't be familiar with or wouldn't be as into ASDFJKL; under the cut <3 also with some lyrics i associate with him in particular

Falling in Reverse - It's Over When It's Over

I swore to God that I'm never coming back, kept my faith when I was clapped Staring at the wall through a crack in the floor and these metal doors that got me trapped I gotta remind myself that my mind is strong, so I won't lose my head

Sum 41 - The Hell Song

It's just a problem that I'm faced with Am I not the only one who hates to stand by? Complications that are first in this line With all these pictures running through my mind

Fish in a Birdcage - Rule #4: Fish in a Birdcage

So carry me from these walls Brother of mine Show me the world outside It has to be true I'm counting on you To be my wings and my eyes

Survival Kit - Stranger Things

My thoughts are racing on repeat I'm my number one priority Don't think you'd want to leave When you wind up in my company

I'm the best thing you'll see all week The first taste you take is always free Cause I stand taller when you're on your knees In front of me

City Wolf - Dead Man Walking

I was thirsty and I wanted more Then she burned me with the rebel soul Tried to warn me And I should have known There's no use talking I'm a dead man walking

[allthingsfook]

Here’s another ship for ya :)

I’m 5’6. I have like dark hair with blonde highlights (it reminds me of a brownie tbh), blue eyes, and I’m a Leo. I’m studying music business and I am currently a social media coordinator for a music magazine! I have a corgi and I’m contemplating getting a cat! I’m a gym rat tbh. My music taste consists of rock, grunge, folk, i listen to a LOT of Jeff Buckley and Julien baker! I’m quiet and also can be life of the party, my freinds describe me as creative and spontaneous. My hobbies are napping , going shopping for crystal and records, and watching feel-good corny sitcoms. I play guitar and attempting to learn bass. My love language is physical touch.

I’m excited to see who you ship me with :))

Instantly I knew I was going to ship you with Sam 🧡💛

First off, I think Sam would seek out and value your opinion because of your career choice in music business. Sam is dabbling in producing and behind the scenes stuff, so I think you’d be able to give him good information and suggestions on that side of it.

Any pup is welcomed with open arms with Sam. He’d treat your corgi like his own fur-baby. He’d constantly spoil your dog and Rosie with treats, toys, and belly rubs. I can see you both walking the dogs by the water and wading in a ways. Sam would be goofing around and splash some water at you, which would turn into a full on water fight.

Sounds like your diverse music taste and temperament would jive well with Sam. The both of you could spend hours looking over records and investigating crystals ✨ Opposed to Josh’s abstract taste in film, I think Sam’s taste is a little more lighthearted. He talks about watching Monty Python when they were kids so feel-good films would suit him well.

Love language of physical touch works so well with Sam. No doubt you’d be showered with hugs, kisses, and cuddles. Seems like he’d constantly want to hold your hand and rub your back/sides. I easily see him coming up behind you while your checking out your outfit in the mirror and giving you a strong hug and kissing your cheek; letting you know you are absolutely gorgeous 💖

[yostresswritinggirl]

Ik your request is off, but when your request is open can u write dating headcanons with Kazuha ? I like your works so much which is y i send u a request hehe

No rush please take care author-nim :'D

This is a long time coming, but I’m glad to know that you’re still a Kazuha simp even after all this time ahahha thank you for your kind words and I hope you like this!!

Kazuha Dating Headcanons

How it’s like “being with” the fugitive wandering samurai. (masterlist)

Beforehand

The whole dating thing is entirely dependent on when you met or known Kazuha. So for this one, we establish that you and Kazuha are friends even before he became a fugitive.

Your clan and the Kaedahara clan are known to be close, and that’s how you’ve known your childhood friend. You’re always together during the peace time of Inazuma, sometimes getting into trouble due to his wayfaring nature.

Your family tried desperately to help the Kaedahara clan with their financial issues but it wasn’t exactly enough to maintain such a large clan. Soon enough the samurai clan lost its power, and what remains of their abode became foreign as a more powerful clan reclaimed it.

But despite all of that, Kazuha’s happiness is your main priority and you’re relieved that despite the misfortune the young master felt more freer than ever. He leaves the sheltered life behind with the promise to visit you as frequent as he could.

And that he does, even when the vision hunt decree was enacted, even when it’s unsafe to be near the area where many eyes can identify him, Kazuha always kept his promises to visit and spend time with. And thankfully, with the history of your clans, your family are still ever so welcoming to his presence.

You even met his newfound friend (and his adorable cat!) during one of his visits, and Kazuha felt all the heaviness on his shoulders disappear when you two hit it off instantly! And after that visit he received a pat on the back and a thumbs up from his friend, telling him that he got his blessing.

This caused said friend to get smacked over the head by a flustered Anemo boy.

So when the news that he perished after issuing a duel before the throne came to you, the pain was just as bad as Kazuha’s anguish. That night you huddled together in the comforts of your room, weeping over your friend and the danger Kazuha now faces. Somehow all the peaceful times blurred into nothingness, the period of darker times and complications marked that day.

But you despite it all, Kazuha is still the honest man that he is, and he will fulfill his promises to the end: for you, for him, and for his slumbering friend.

Courting

Kazuha is a man of words and custom. Sometimes you think that his passion for poetry and wit were the things that made you fall for him, and he thought it was the best method to confess to someone as honorable as you.

So, yes, it was Kazuha who first confessed through a lengthy, poetic love letter that he left after sleeping over one night, something that he had planned many weeks ago yet kept to himself. Why would you want to be with someone who has nothing to his name? A person that you can’t spend time with freely, who prioritizes his selfish desire to be a vagabond than stay longer with you?

These thoughts stayed with him throughout the week that he avoided coming to your house and still lingered as he begrudgingly trudged up the hill to where your estate is, expecting the rejection at the sight of you waiting for him at the balcony of your room, his usual point of entry.

“YOU!” Kazuha was taken aback by the angry finger pointed at him, he was expecting something else, something sadder or guilty perhaps. Anger isn’t one of them - oh yeah, he did avoid you for a week, didn’t he? “You have the guts to drop this-” the sight of the letter in your hand made him physically recoil, “and then disappear for a week like nothing happened?! Come up here right now or I’m dropkicking your ass!”

Hurriedly, in main concern of your well-being, Kazuha used his elemental skill to jump up to the balcony - where he was met by a tight hug and you reciprocating his feelings. He hugs back in relief, before being smacked over the head for what he did.

Kazuha carries his hobby with him when you started dating, when you told him how nice it was and how you always feel flustered when it’s directed at you. Poetry, haikus, letters complimenting everything he loves about you when he knows it will take a while for him to come back. You have a special box filled with all his notes. And your favorite one:

My love is a butterfly Flies from hither to stay here forever In love and true perfection

On worse days when he’s there, at night he brings comfort by playing with his leaf, a skill of leaf-blowing he picked up from his travels and perfected for your sake. When there are times when you couldn’t sleep properly, he’s always there to pluck a leaf from the trees outside, playing a tune until you find the right comfort to rest. Usually in the company of his arms.

Kazuha absolutely loves cooking for you! When rare days comes that he is able to visit during daytime he likes to demonstrate his cooking skills, always assuring that he gets the freshest ingredients for you to eat. They’re barely a miss, like he knows your taste more than you. He takes a mental note of your favorites, your reactions and of course, your honest feedback.

The next time he comes over, he has enough to feed your family. Sometimes you feel your clan loves him more than you did.

When there are interesting things he’d encountered during his travels, he’s sure to tell you the best of them! These moments are like subtle nudges of him to convince you to join him on his adventures, enticing you with his stories to a life full of meaning and excitement out there.

More often than not at the end of his story sessions, despite knowing that it isn’t safe for you to go out (with or without him) he’ll always have this soft look in his eyes as he looks at you, smile so soft as he looks at you like a daydream, “I can’t wait to be with you out there.”

Kazuha loves it when he gets a reaction from you, whether it be your happiness or relief as he ascends to your home, genuine curiosity over his tales, the embarrassment when he makes a move, or even the worry when he comes back looking a little worse for wear.

Traveling with Kazuha

You’ve always lived a semi-sheltered life in Inazuma due to your protective clan, with your interaction mostly focused with the villagers of your area and the people in your estate. When the decree started, you barely go out now, your people feared that your Vision would be taken away if the Tenryou Commission were to see you.

It was also the main reason why despite Kazuha’s desire to show you a whole new world out there, he couldn’t ever prioritize his own feelings over your safety. It was also one of the main reasons he joined the Resistance: to make a better world for you so that he can be with you in a free world.

However, one day, a clan that’s in the favor of the Vision Hunt Decree snitched on you to the Tenryou Commission. And you were almost captured (as the only Vision holder in your clan) if not for Kazuha arriving at the last minute, fighting them off before escaping with you.

Your family was able to contact him before everything escalated, and decided that it was far more safer for you to be with him than stay at your clan. And so became your current life with Kazuha.

With a favor, Kazuha managed to get you to join the Crux Fleet. And it took a whole month before everyone (including Beidou) to find out about your relationship. This quiet boy? In a relationship with you?! Everyone calmly lost their shit, and there was a drinking party on board (for the rowdy adults).

It was warm, carefree and exciting. Despite your previous worries about the life you left behind, next to Kazuha in the middle of the ocean, somehow things ended up alright. Better even.

You jive with everyone quite well, especially with Beidou - the woman loves you to bits! Teasing you, pulling you around after finding out your backstory, as Kazuha awkwardly follows from behind in silence.

Whenever you’re around, Kazuha’s demure demeanor completely vanishes, from the mysterious kid that the crew didn’t know the name of for weeks turns into a rambunctious teen that’s only purpose is to make you crack a smile or laugh.

He is so down bad, everyone but you notices this, and soon he too became a huge target for teasing.

You’ve realized too that Kazuha smells a lot like the nature around him, sometimes the sea salt from the sea that you spend most of your days on, to the maple leaves of the forest near the docks of the cities you land in, or the musky, earthly scent of the mountains that you both trek.

Kazuha likes to be by your side every second of the day, as long as possible. And oh does he love teaching you things about the outside world, like how to tell the weather, the constellations in the sky, the inner workings of the ship.

He’s like a lovesick puppy trailing behind you. Sometimes he had to be physically removed away from you to help out on the ship, and the unlucky crew member who drags him away during a particularly bad mood gets the worst glare in their life. If they try to tell it to the others, the crew won’t believe him.

Kazuha Kaedahara had always been fascinated by you, and now that you’re here with him, he wouldn’t pass up to spend every second together. Anywhere in the world, with him you’ll be safe.

okay but: pillow princess daniel and terry encouraging it

Violence I tell you - such violence in my inbox lately.

SCREECHES

Pillow princess Daniel - my beloved. It’s just as delicious as feral bitey Daniel.

Pillow princess/ Size queen Danny / all shades of royalty our boy.

So I’m not going into the history but it means a lot of things to a lot of people BUT I will include two snippets from woman’s health and cosmo (HIGHLY REPUTABLE SOURCES 😏) which jives the most with how I view a pillow princess.

1) This usually has a negative connotation. In some situations it is an act of laziness but in others it is a girl who lays back and is willing take whatever her partner wants to give her. In this case it is a submissive partner that is willing to give all the control to her dominant partner. Normally this type of relationship is a mutual agreement so that both are getting what they want.

I love my pillow princess. She lays down, does what I say, and takes it how I give it to her.

2) If you’ve never heard the term “pillow princess,” this is what it means: You’re someone who likes to lie back and let your boo do more of the physical work during sex. Sometimes, this may (and absolutely should) involve splaying your body over a big ole pile of fluffy pillows, but pillow princess-ing is a LIFESTYLE and need not require Egyptian cotton sheets.

So I kind of already write him with pillow princess tendencies - it just fits with their vibe esp if it’s daddy/ baby boy

BUT

Daniel is not a selfish lover / he is very generous with his body 😏 and he 💯 loves to get his mouth on that 🍆 but in the content of when he’s in full on pillow Princess mode, maybe he lets Terry just use his mouth. Terrys hands on either side of his head as moves his head up and down as he fucks his mouth

He likes being used and Terry likes using him - so it’s not like anyone is complaining.

Terry loves when his Danny boy is greedy - lazy like a cat wanting to be petted.

And okay Terry also has to take responsibility for encouraging this - like all of Daniel’s behaviour.

Because even when he goes to climb on top it doesn’t take Terry’s hands too long to find his way to his boys hips (like magnets) and then not long after that for him to fuck in deep and lift him up and down. Then he just starts bouncing him on his cock as he fucks up but his boy looks so damn pretty when he falls forwards, eyelids fluttering and the pretty noises spilling out of an equally pretty mouth.

Breathy little, “right there,” and him clenching around Terry deep inside him are the older man’s rewards.

As are the little bitten of whimpers as he bites his full lip - hands flexing on Terry’s chest.

And he’s like a little rag doll - Terry’s perfect little doll - just taking what Terry gives him - smaller body jolting as Terry fucks him.

“You like that, sweetheart?”

“Yes. Please: so good. Please don’t stop.”

Like Terry ever would - his home is here - chasing relief in his boy’s body.

A cock ring is in order sometimes - for nights when Terry really needs to last to satisfy his pillow princess - size queen.

Daniel is such a little caregiver too - always worried about and looking out after other people so it makes sense he would maybe let Terry takes them reins in the bedroom - to be looked after for once.

He resists at first - it seems one sided - not getting or understanding what Terry would get out of it. The appeal for the older man.

But nothing is better than when Terry finally finished playing with his boy - pulling out to take in his gaping hole and fucked out body, face blissful with no thoughts in his pretty head but the pleasure Terry just bestowed upon him.

It seems too submissive, too passive, too SELFISH. He does like to give Terry what he wants though.

Maybe though, something resonates the first time Terry whispers - “lie back Baby and let daddy take care of you,” and after that well ….. he lies back and takes whatever Terry gives him.

Now though, Daniel crawling into his lap, or lying back spreading his legs are all it takes to get what he wants.

Terry twisting and molding (manhandling) him how he wants - Daniel’s body willingly taking Terry however the older man wants.

Daniel along for the ride.

And he spoils him in other ways too. Only the best for his boy - The comfiest pillows, the softest sheets, the satin restraints are soft like butter.

💝 // Casca from Schadenfreude-- he insisted dnjdnsks

Send a 💝 and my Muse will ramble on about how they presently feel about yours.

"Mmm."

His curled lower lip, bitten and held by his teeth, disappeared behind his upper lip. The hum he made--which, maybe, he intended to sound considerate and contemplative--sounded forced, if not agonized in trying to refrain.

A smile finally--decidedly--split over his face, so stilted one could almost hear his facial muscles creaking to make it happen.

"I looooove this question--! Why did it take you so long to lay it on me? He's--Schandenfreude--coolest cat I've met in a while. Something about him jives just right. Got this--energy I can't get enough of. Presence, yeah, baby, presence."

Casca reached over to the nearest candy dish and stuffed a bonbon in his mouth.

"Mm hm--!"

About/Rules/Verses

Hello, and welcome to my Bofur RP blog. This post is a HUGE wall of text, if you are on desktop and would like to see it a little tidier, please see the separate pages in the sidebar to the right. 

Promo Post Found Here

About the Mun

1. Firstly I am over 30, own a house, have a husband, 1 baby, 2 cats, and a wealth of commitments and responsibilities. I will do my best to reply in a timely manner, but will state up front that sometimes life gets in the way.

2. I am in EST and work M-F from 9-5, plus a half hour commute. Please understand that I can not post from work, and will not be posting during those times.

3. In addition, I am Mom to a very active toddler who is my priority over writing and who’s nap schedule tends to dictate when I can post.

4. My native language is English, though I can understand French, and a little bit of Spanish and Japanese. Don’t bank on me carrying on a decent conversation in any of those languages though.

About the Blog

1. When I first set up this blog I didn’t realize that secondary blogs can’t follow back, ask, or submit. My main blog name is Saffity, so if you see that blog follow you, it’s me. If I send an ask or submit, I will mention this blog name so you don’t get confused.

2. My inbox, ask, etc. is open. Please feel free to write me any starters, questions, or whatever.

3. Please send any critiques or suggestions to me. I’ve been on Tumblr forever, but have never really been a poster. If you see me doing basic noob mistakes with my posts that can be easily fixed, please let me know.

4. I will be tracking #yourehomesickiunderstand so please use that tag with our threads.

Mun’s Playing Style

1. I prefer my Bofur straight. I understand Boffins and other ships and have no qualms with them, I’ve been known to enjoy a good fluff fic once in a while, but this Bofur is straight.

2. Please send me an ask or fan mail if you would like our characters to have an already established relationship, I’m totally cool with it. I respond to all cannon characters as known as it shows in the books or movies, but if you are an OC and want something other than a “Nice to meet you” please let me know first.

3. I’m willing to do some fluffies, but not full on smut, if the thread calls for smut (which will often happen), I’ll fade to black when I’ve gone as far as I feel comfortable with. (Don’t worry, I’ll fade when I’m ready, you’ll never get any angry messages from me about going too far.)

4. Bofur here is multiverse, au, indie, whatever you want to call it. I’m sure he’ll fit into whatever crossover or world you decide to drop him in, he’s very easy going after all.

5. I tend to write in the past tense, third person. If you’d prefer a different style, just let me know and I’ll try to accommodate.

6. I’m bad with my images, so bad! I’m still figuring everything out, so if I’ve royally screwed something up, please let me know and I will delete and repost correctly.

7. I am super okay with editing anything I write if it doesn’t jive with your character or where you want the plot to go, please just let me know.

8. I mainly play on mobile, as such, I’m not able to cut my posts down. Please do so whenever you feel the need/want, I won’t be upset.

Head Cannons that go across all verses

1. Bofur has a Northern Irish accent and his hat, always his hat.

2. Bofur has named his hat Bundushathur, which in Khuzdul means “Cloudyhead” and will sometimes refer to his hat as a sleeping rabbit. If Khuzdul does not exist in the verse (like Modern) then the hat is called Cloudyhead and still referred to as a rabbit.

3. Bofur is the everyman, he isn’t special or high born. He is good natured, friendly, and the world’s best wingman, even if it means connecting someone he pines after with someone else. He would rather see them happy and keep their friendship than try to force his feelings on them or lose their friendship because of his pride.

4. The main characteristic about Bofur is that he is unimportant in the hierarchy of society.

Main Verse - The Hobbit/LOTR

Bofur is 4'6" but fairly thin for a dwarf.

Bofur is a dwarf who’s family line comes from Moria. He is of the mining class. He was born and raised in Ered Luin with his brother. Shortly after Bofur became an adult, his parents died, leaving him to raise his brother. Shortly after that, Bifur was injured in an orc attack. Bofur and Bombur took Bifur in, however there were a number of difficult years as they all got used to Bifur’s new personality.

Once Bifur was stable enough, the brothers decided it would be a good idea to head out and find new customers for their skills. They ended up at Bree, opening up a shop to sell Bifur’s fabulous toys, and offer tinkering services.

During their stay in Bree, Bombur got married to a passing female dwarf and moved his overly large family near the shop. Bifur and Bofur live together in living quarters at the back of the shop, Bombur lived with them until he got married.

Bofur travels around Middle Earth, usually west of the Misty Mountains, and most often between Bree and Ered Luin by way of the Shire. He collects supplies, sells wares, and visits many friends and family that are about the lands.

When Thorin calls for assistance in taking back Erebor, Bofur and his kin lock up their shop and head for the Shire.

After the quest they settle in Erebor, though Bofur heads back to Bree to close up their shop and settle accounts prior to settling in for a long life of enjoying his 14th share of the treasure.
