Daiki knows he's being stupid. A real idiot for the way he feels.

It's just a piece of fabric, for fuck's sake!

A blue silk robe you bought on your latest trip to China, handcrafted by an old artisan with so much love and talent that you didn't mind spending most of your souvenir budget on it. Something about the little details – the cloud shaped pattern on the cuffs and collar, the deep pockets that keep your hands warm, the flowers and branches embroidered in gold thread – it was too gorgeous not to buy it.

But god, does Daiki hate it. It stems entirely in his unreasonable jealousy for the cloth, his insides burning when he sees how it wraps around your body. The blue silk cord around your waist, holding it together. The way it drapes your shoulders so delicately. The way it clings to your chest, your nipples perking through the fabric.

That should be him. That should be his hands on your waist, holding you tight. That should be his fingers on your shoulders, taking in the softness of your skin. That should be his mouth around your perked nipples, sucking on them till his jaw hurts.

His cock aches in his boxers every night and morning, when you roam around the house in nothing but that blue silk robe, so carelessly doing your thing. Watering your indoor plants, choosing your outfit for the next day, making yourself a cup of hot beverage to warm your insides the same way that godforsaken robe keeps you warm outside. And then you climb in bed, your thighs that Daiki loves so much peeking out of the slit, and you lean towards him, the robe opening just enough to show your bare chest under it.

That's when he loses his mind. He can't take it anymore. He well knows he sounds insane but if Daiki could be anything, he'd be that blue silk robe. Wrapping your body and touching your skin at all times. He grunts, pulling you into a wild kiss as his fingers untie the robe in frustration.

Get out of this thing, cling to me. He's feral, and you're confused. What on Earth is your boyfriend so mad about? He's hovering you, taking the sight of your naked body, the sapphire fabric splayed under you, your hair contrasting with the colour.

Fucking you as the fabric glides under your every squirm. Oh god, you're such a beautiful thing to look at. The shine in your eyes, the sweet songs of your moans. And Daiki's big brown hands, roaming every inch of you, kneading your breasts while he pounds into you with the kind of force that makes your mind go blank. It might be the best sex you've had in a while. And he smiles, a spiteful smirk on his lips as he sees how you cling to him, that cute little voice of yours begging. More, Daiki, more! It might be that, as a personal preference, you'd take your boyfriend's skin against yours over any piece of clothing.

Daiki Aomine: 1. That stupid blue silk robe: 0.

virgin neil lewis with 11: “fuck, do that again... please."

your work is so fucking good i LOVE it

thank you so much love!! i got so many amazing neil requests but I love the idea of virgin neil c: kinda made him an incel lowkey...

warnings: noncon sexual content (18+ only!!), perv!neil, grinding, neil being a creepy nice guy with 0 stamina (aka my exact type)

100 random prompts - send me a number and a character!

Neil could be a little bit... well... touchy.

You mostly didn't mind it. It was just his way of being friendly and he usually made you laugh with the way he would randomly hug you from behind or tickle you or playfight you just to hold you down.

Every once in a while it would get weird, but not too weird; just his dorky, goofy sense of humor taking a jokingly-horny turn.

Well, you thought he was joking.

Like, for example, today—when you were on the couch arguing over what to watch (a common occurrence).

“No way,” he shook his head, “it’s shlock!”

“Just because it had a big budget doesn’t mean it’s shlock!” you defended.

“Oh yeah?” he challenged with a smirk.  “Just read the box!”

He snatched the DVD case out of your hands, flipping it to read the back as you tried to pull it away from him.

“In a world,” he began reading the synopsis in a deep, dramatic voice.  “See?  No good movie starts its premise with in a world—”

“Shut up!” you whined.  “Reading the back is cheating!  Gimme it!”

You leaned over him, trying to grab it, but his arms were longer; he held it up high and tilted his head back to keep reading: “In a world devastated by nuclear war—”

“You’d like it if you gave it a chance!” you insisted.  You couldn’t reach as high as him from where you were sitting, so you thoughtlessly hopped into his lap and lifted yourself up to get closer.  He yanked it away again, leaning to the side and watching you as you laughed and groaned and tried to get it away from him.  “You just need to see it, then you’d like it!”

Three things happened at once, right then: you moved to try to get the DVD from him, twisting yourself in his lap; his other hand grabbed suddenly and tightly onto your hip; and he stopped laughing.

You didn’t really notice it at first, just happy you managed to snatch the case from him.  You only really realized something was different when you looked at him with a smug grin which fell quickly.  “Neil?”

His lip was between his teeth, and his face was a little flushed.

“Neil, what’s wrong?” you wondered, relaxing on top of him, which only made you put more pressure against his— oh.

“Fuck,” he breathed, holding your hips with both hands now, “do that again… please.”

“What the fuck?!” you snapped.  “Are you— is that—?”

You tried to get off of him, but he was holding you down.  Your face flushed as you suddenly felt self-conscious about everything you’d done— about wearing these tiny lounge shorts, about getting in his lap, about coming over to see him at all.  He rocked his hips slightly under you, and you whimpered as you understood, without a doubt, that he was rubbing his erection right against you through his pants.  You could feel it throbbing, even.  You weren’t sure what was worse: the possibility that he got that hard that fast because you were in his lap, or that he’d been hard before when you two were just hanging out.

“Let me go, Neil,” you demanded, but your voice was weak and shaking; he ignored you, looking down at you in his lap as he moved you on top of him.  “Neil, stop—”

“Fuck,” he sighed, “you’re warm.”

He did it again, again; you felt sick and strange and sort of numb as he held you tighter, groaning under his breath.  “This isn’t funny,” you whined, “this is—what the fuck, dude—”

“Sorry,” he panted, moving you faster over him, and you grimaced as you were forced to feel the details of his cock against your pussy.  It was disturbing, really, how well you could feel it with these clothes in the way: you could feel the ridge of his head, the shape and thickness of his shaft…

You swallowed, blinking quickly, not really believing that this was happening—this couldn’t be happening, right?  Not to you, not with Neil, it just didn’t make sense.  “Stop,” you begged again, quieter yet more desperate than ever.

“I will, I will,” he promised, “I’m so close— I’m almost done, then I’ll stop— fuck!”

He tossed his head back, and you felt it flexing.  You watched in shock, confusion, and disgust as a small stain began to form on his shorts, hot come soaking through the fabric as his chest rose and fell quickly while he caught his breath.

You were speechless, and confused, and you had pins and needles all over as you tried to convince yourself that didn’t just happen— that your ‘friend’ hadn’t just used you to come, holding you down and rubbing you against him.  You’d felt so helpless and dirty… so why was there a wet patch in your own shorts, not from coming but from unsatisfied arousal?

His grip relaxed on your hips, and you could get up, but you were still frozen.  If you moved now, you might have to acknowledge that this was real. 

“Okay,” he smiled, still breathing a bit heavy, eyes still shut with relief, “we can watch your movie now.”

Either I make multiple housekeeper ocs for my au or at least half of Wayne Manor is kept boarded up indefinitely. Sorry to burst people's bubbles but there is no conceivable way Alfred by himself is cleaning the entire mansion.

I've grown up helping my mother (who otherwise works alone w chronic back pain) clean middle to upper class homes here in SoCal. In very white oriented areas with housewives and large families with dogs and good financial situations. Now, there's a huge difference between large modern homes that have only two maybe three floors and the entire floor plan of a mansion that's at minimum built in the 1800s and has 30 rooms. But fundamentally the problems with upkeep are the same. You need to sweep all the floors, mop, wipe the baseboards, vacuum every carpet. You need to wipe clean windows, fans, HC units, lightbulbs, staircases, every surface used constantly - kitchen countertops, bathroom counters, showers/bathtubs/toilets. You need to do laundry, not only clothes, but towels and bedding used by the owners and the rags you use to clean. Fold that laundry. Make the beds. Take out every full trashbag and haul it out of the house. Wash dishes daily. Put those dishes away. Occasionally remind the owner that maybe a light needs fixing, there's a hole in their daughter's sweater, the dog peed inside, that their son tends to stuff trash under the couch cushions and now they have an ant infestation.

On average, with my help, it takes my mom 4-5 hours for one two-floor house. Takes longer by herself. That's not even getting into the amount of people and pets. If there's kids, you need to clean after their spaces more than the adults. With babies, there's diapers and toys all over. With dogs or cats there's always always fur to pick up. The bigger the family, the busier they are, the messier the house. And thats all for a housekeeper that visits every week and gets paid in numbers ranging from 6$0 to $100. (And often people will forget to pay you and you have to stretch out your budget for weeks and weeks and then they pay you and they forget again next month).

For Alfred, as an official butler and employee, he lives at the manor. There's no cost for him that comes from travel (no car to pay for fuel) or cleaning supplies (Bruce probably pays for them). But everything else? Not to mention the added chaos factor of BEING VIGILANTES. Alfred not only upkeep the house they live in, but prepares food, clothing, scheduling, and cleans the Batcave and feeds the bats, at least two large dogs, and one cat. Theres multiple cars and vehicles, guns, weaponry, technology to watch out for (and I know the average fanon enjoyer doesn't know Harold Allnut should be doing that). He picks Bruce's clothes and dresses him for godssake. Hell, Alfred even operates the Batcomputer when needed every night. He does their medical care (and people forget about Leslie yet again, even regarding her relationship w Bruce, still. still.) That's too much for one old man.

Realistically, either Bruce has a full house staff like nobles used to have, or Alfred simply does not do as much as people think. He's old. Forever aging. There's not going to be 20+ plus rooms ready all the time for people to sleep in. At best, the residents of the Manor are Bruce, Tim, and Damian. At best, their bedrooms are kept clean daily. All the other bedrooms are cleaned maybe monthly. The rooms that aren't bedrooms (foyers/attics etc) maybe every other month. Groceries are multiple day events. Same with cooking full meals, dietary plans. Galas and business functions require weeks and months. The pets take days for veterinary care and training. The kids all together take weeks, days individually and together. And they not only look at you as a butler but as family. You are responsible for their wellbeing, emotions whether you like it or not (bc Alfred frankly enables Bruce too much but thats for another day).

Only saving grace he has is that recently not many people live there anymore. Stephanie and Helena and Kate and Barbara shouldn't be living there in the first place. Dick and Jason have their own places. Tim and Cassandra are up in the air but I don't think they spend 100% of their time in the Manor because they're young adults with various circumstances.

OMG I REALLY LIKE YOUR YAN!GETO AND GOJO HEADCANONS!! If you don't mind can I please request a yan!itadori? No pressure btw

Have a good night/day!

THANK UUU!!! Yan yuuji is sooo cute I love him :0 (featuring Sukuna lol)

Yan! Yuuji who would never kill somebody ….. not unless you asked him to of course…

Yan! Yuuji who’s disgusted by killing, especially to innocent people, but even to bad people… unless they’ve wronged you.. they deserve a fate much… much worse than death

Yan! Yuuji who is like a loyal dog .. that’s the best way to describe him tbh

Yan! Yuuji who loves to make you laugh, if he doesn’t make you laugh everyday he feels like he’s failed, like he’s nothing more than a pathetic weasel.

Yan! Yuuji who loves buying you gifts!!! Nonstop!!!! He will never stop… he believes no matter what you say, you deserve it. :}

Yan! Yuuji who does NOT budget money for himself bruh he be wasting all his money on you… he’d rather buy you something than feed himself (megumi is very worried abt him)

Yan! Yuuji who always lifts you up… he’s so sweet

Yan! Yuuji who loves sharing his clothes with you… you look cute with his clothes on… also it feels like you’re his

Yan! Yuuji who is terrifying when your life is threatened like even sukuna backs off … “he’s like … Jesus Christ wtf … what happened brat…” he’s like when junpei died cuz of mahito but so much worse

Yan! Yuuji who would blame himself if anything happened to you… would probably just tell you to kill him for being so terrible and he absolutely means it

Yan! Yuuji has strong feelings in terms of wanting to be the one to protect you and keep you safe, even if you’re stronger than him. Due to this fact he really beats himself up if he can’t protect you.. even if you only get slightly hurt,

Yan! Yuuji who is protective but not isolating. He loves seeing you get along with other people, and he doesn’t expect you to return his devoted feelings. He wants you happy above all else, even if that meant you’re with somebody else. But he still makes it known to you you’re everything to him.

Yan! Yuuji who would absolutely kill anyone that broke your heart though. He will straight up be your exes best friend when you’re dating them cause they make you happy, but once he sees the signs of them making you unhappy and miserable, he waits till you break up and goes in for the kill.

Yan! Yuuji who also notices a lot of toxic traits so he also recognizes his own, so he’s constantly trying to improve his behavior around you..

Despite this fact probably sees killing for you as a good thing cause it’s getting rid of those that put you at risk or in distress

Probably tries to form a pact with sukuna to make sure sukuna doesn’t hurt you, as well.

And Yan! Yuuji who would do anything to have that pact with sukuna cuz holy

Yan! Yuuji who, even if you aren’t dating, tells you how much he loves you constantly. He doesn’t bother hiding his feelings unless he thinks you’d be uncomfortable by them.

Yan! Yuuji who probably falls more in love if you get him to open up to you (esp post shibuya …) you’re so loving.. so trusting … so kind …

Yan! Yuuji who would be delighted to date you, but wouldn’t force it on you. It would come naturally, with you genuinely liking him.

Yan! Yuuji is a lovely boyfriend as well and the gifts, the protectiveness, increased tenfold but he tries not to be too overbearing (he is, but he still won’t isolate you from people)

Yan! Yuuji who just grumbles when sukuna teases him for his devotion towards you.. trying to get sukuna to shut up when sukuna starts talking in grave detail to you about how yuuji stalks the hell outta you

Yan! Yuuji totally stalks you but he’s not as bad as a lot of other yanderes so it’s just a short mention tbh

Yan! Yuuji who already wants to get married ..

Yan! Yuuji who is very clingy and very affectionate … constant kisses and cuddles for real

Yan! Yuuji who’s just a sweet boy … would really just do anything for your love and approval..

the librarians "and the apple of discord" watch through

flynn’s back! yay!

"did you come to take them away? i keep their bags packed." JENKINS IM OBSESSED WITH YOU

jenkins knows hip hop too, he’s my favourite

so that dude is a dragon? i love when dragons in supernatural tv shows are literally just some guy. like sorry the budget is notttt gonna allow for a Creature okay, but you can have this normal man

somethings wrong with jacob :0

and the proper-form dragon we see is literally just its eye. again a budget of about one dollar & a packet of chips (affectionate)

somethings wrong with cassandra :0

"the world crime league" that ezekiel mentions would def also exist in leverage lmaooo

cassandra’s stripping down for the audience and also for the evil lady who kinda seemed gay for her earlier!!

i love that the "worst version" of jacob just cares about art even more than usual

i think baird really overestimates how evil ezekiel would be, and they’re all really underestimating the problem that evil!cassandra poses

what is jenkins? immortal, he seems to imply? but how & why… and him and dulaque clearly have some weird shared history

bairds like "what did u do with cassandra" mate, lamia is the one in pain on the floor looking terrified. don’t underestimate cassandra, i thought we learnt this last episode!!

jacob pays attention to cassandra’s note taking? cute. he also brought her dress!

"what happened to my clothes" fan service

they just said mobile phone technology was legally accepted as a branch of wizardry and 1) that’s hilarious but 2) i like the implications this has for what wizardry & magic mean in this world & what the influence of these VIPs is.

yeah exactly, ezekiel has no intentions or desire to do anything worse than what he already does. you can say he’s kinda bad or at least too self-serving, but he’s not some kind of terrifying evil mastermind. now cassandra, on the other hand-

oh there is DEFINITELY weird shared history with dulaque & jenkins. interesting interestingggg…

[fereldanwench]

I think I was tagged forever ago to share some WIP stuff, but I'm just the worst at keeping up with those. :3 But I have had a lot more time to focus on personal projects since being a lot stricter about social media time, so here are a few things!

Goro & Valerie's House Estate

Eventually (like probably in the 2090s tbh; they gotta suffer under Arasaka for a while), they get to have domestic bliss (mostly; I'm sure they'll still get into trouble) and live in a beautiful house in Kanagawa. I've tried a few times to make one for them, but the other efforts didn't quite stick for one reason or another. This is my favorite so far, especially their huge yard/garden, which is essential for Valerie to lean into her plant mom life.

There's still a lot I want to add to the outside, but I think I'm going to leave the interior mostly empty so I can just use it as a stage for whatever I'm in the mood for and not be restricted to a specific layout. They might get a permanent full kitchen, though.

Kinktober Planning

I shared a little teaser the other day, but I just wrapped up doing another set for next month. I'm not gonna be able to do one for every day, but I think there's a good possibility I could get about 10-12 out.

Here's another shot from a set I just finished today:

And while I'm thinking about it: I'm not going to be posting the full sets on Tumblr since they'll be on the more explicit side--They'll be going on my Pillowfort with all my other naughty stuff. (Some will probably also end up on Twitter, but I don't really like formatting photosets for Twitter so it'll be a low priority.)

Casual/Personal Modding Stuff

I don't really have any pictures to share for this, but I also spent a good chunk of my time over my long holiday weekend updating some of my personal mods, like own poses and my Goro NPC+. I added some new clothes for him (like this one) and updated his shirtless varieties to have the shoulder pad things I've been using (rather than adding them with ACM). I'd still like to get him proper cyberware that looks closer to his concept art, but that's way beyond my Blender skills and commission budget (which is exactly $0 right now, lmao). But this at least gets rid of the unsightly jagged edges.

So those are the main highlights atm! I am staying pretty busy at the moment--September tends to be a crazy month for me on a personal level since 3 of my family members have September birthdays, and husbando and I are actually celebrating our 17th (!!!!!!) anniversary this week. I also need to find some time to resume my Inquisition replay because I know Halloween is gonna be here in the blink of an eye.

[tchaikovskym]

american fantasy tv series: this is the main protagonist he is very misunderstood and mistreated because his mother made him do the dishes once when he was eight, he can turn into vampirewerewolf, he goes to highschool and fights lizardguys for plot, he also has a romantic interest with 0 personality whatsoever, we spent all our budget on special effects so uhh potato bags aren't too bad for clothes

xianxia dramas: this is the main protagonist he is an orphan, he got tortured 394 times, wrongfully accused for every crime in the world, and while he really did his best to stay kind and true to his morals, he was a pawn in someone else's political play and with the help of ruthless and cruel society he was pushed to become a sexy hot villain, and explores the morals and trust for plot, he also has a romantic interest who does not care that he is a hot villain, but he is too lost to his evil craze that he cannot recognize what love is anymore, we spent all our budget on costumes so the director's 8yo kid made the special effects in MSPaint

[sir-yeehaw-paws]

ALRIGHT

Infinite Wealth time.

They have a mix of English and Japanese for the audio eh? That's really cool. That intro was so fckin cool.

HELP HIM

HELP HIM.

Aghh the graphics are STUNNINNNGG.

Ichiban getting the money from the water was so good. Addressing the post yakuza world was something I was really curious about.

OH THIS INTRO FCKS

How does Ichiban look more like a gangster as a civilian than when he was Yakuza?

THERE'S MY MAN.

Ichiban wants to rehabilitate all 30k+ ex yakuza? Aww. "Arakawa's Legacy" He calls it.

Ah yes, the two kinds of dating advice:

"Doze on a park bench."

"Stand like a statue."

We can't even pick, "neither of these you dorks!"

Next!

"Eat enough curry to sweat!"

And,

"Beef bowls."

Can't wait for this date to be a catastrophic failure.

Oh boy what FABULOUS advice is next my friends?

Clothes, of course.

"Au natural, environmentally friendly clothes"

"Sartorial seduction 3 piece suit."

Based on my choices with these fabulous options I'm standing like a statue, getting beef bowls in a 3 piece. TREMENDOUS.

Saeko is about to have the worst date of her LIFE.

Ichiban randomly having Yuki's yakuza 0 hostess dress at his house is a cute Easter egg.

AWW YEA SON.

DJTJGJGHGGGG

Well, she likes the suit at least-

He is DOING HIS BEST. He's so cute.

She's definitely not looking at the hotel ICHIBAN

Saeko's outfit is really cute.

OH HEY-

Ichiban confidence success!!

Me: Oh this date is going really well aww look at the great day they have together;

ICHIBAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING??????

That was that was BAD oh man I feel bad for him because he was clearly just BABBLING at the end but OH MAN. That was. ROUGH.

Far as apologies go, this is pretty solid.

oop TIME JUMP.

..He's losing his job?

Poor guy. They love to throw him to rock bottom. It's cos of a budget cut? Man that blows. Unless hid boss is hiding something but the guy seems sincere, if awkward.

Hrmm idk the vibe here is all weirrrdd. They won't even look at him. It's like they've got guns to their heads.

Oh the town chatter confirms that. Something is screwy here.

GET that camera out of our face!

"Hello Works a hook up for the yakuza." Ah. Of course. That rumor from the beginning. But now out of control.

WHAT IN HELLS BELLS IS THIS.

Oh no, the truest enemy. V-tube and going viral with falsified information.

[x1702x]

Evil gang i need you all to help me pick :0!!!!

For short: Im going to a convention and ive decided that I will cosplay an AC character and im set between two, and those two being Alexios and Edward. I'd probably post progress pictures in here in post form. With that being said,

To favor Alexios:

I have a whole docs with stuff

Downloaded the PDF cosplay guide

Love this guy

I literally milked this game on god

Have a YT Playlist set with stuff to help me out

To disfavor Alexios:

Way harder to put together than Edward

Considering my build It'll be awkward (Not the fittest fella in the crypt)

It would take way more budget because of parts and materials

The convention is in October and I'll be caught up with some stuff in the way such as classes and an armor like his will take weeks

Harder mobility thanks to the chestplate (Not being able to bend correctly or sit)

The eva armor will be hard to make

To favor Edward:

Way more approachable regards putting it together

Easier mobility

The use of eva foam will be pretty scarce

I'll probably not freeze which is great

I can literally thrift the clothes and do the rest

PIRATE PIRATE PIRATE PIRATE

To disfavor Edward:

He may not be intrincate with armor like Alexios but the clothes design is quite difficult

I'd need a wig for him

The details may be merciful but if you really look into it he can deceive you

He has a hood which will mean hood pattern

I already presented the idea of Alexios to my helper (My mother) and me switching the project may be confusing

Morrigan,

Below are my notes of our meeting. Please ensure our High Lord accepts my requests.

Lord and Lady Wriedt wish to marry their oldest daughter off to Mr Aurelius Balcom. Refuse—Miss Wriedt and Mr Balcom are first cousins. Lord and Lady Wriedt are also first cousins, as are Lord and Lady Balcom.

City budget needs to be expanded by +/- 10.000 gold coins a month: several Lords and Ladies complain about lack of lavish revels.

The wine cellars ought to be restocked. None from Spring: the quality has reduced significantly over the last century, taste is revolting.

The High Lord is encouraged to pay a visit without the company of lesser fae.

Younglings have been sneaking off to the outside with increasing frequency. Lords and Ladies request permission to discourage this properly.

Lord Abaddon wishes to renovate his mansion. Force him to show me the blueprints. If I do not agree, please do not allow him to renovate.

I am tired of seeing wild matings on the dance floor. It is boring. Ban it—perhaps build copulation rooms?

[Personal decision] City needs more shadow wraiths for cleaning. They will not be noticed.

Everybody in attendance has zero (0) intelligence.

If I shake Lord Mortimer I suspect his brain will rattle in his skull like a dried split pea. Tempted to test my theory.

Lady Mortimer wishes for more shades of black in the clothing shops. I am unsure whether there are more shades of black. If there are, lie and insist there are not.

Lady Mortimer might rattle as well.

Lord and Lady Dirge request a revel to welcome a delegation from Autumn. Some members of the delegation are Lady Dirge’s siblings. Maybe?

I need a drink.

Lord Tinuviel wishes for the High Lord to be re-elected. Gift him books on High Lord magic?

The wine from Spring is indeed revolting.

Lord Tinuviel refuses to budge despite protests. Believes Lord Mortimer “has no brain”. I do not agree. Lord Mortimer has at least a split pea; Lord Tinuviel has a singular grain of sand.

They are too drunk to continue. Meeting adjourned.

Rhys,

There’s no need for you not to answer Cas’s email. I bet she still despises you—you CANNOT have managed to make her fall in love with you already so I’m sure you have lots of time.

(Unless you’re trying to woo her and are failing miserably. lmao that’s so embarrassing 💀💀💀💀 loser)

Cas and I are able to handle the uprisings on our own but it would be a lot easier with you. Cas is hangry and I’m REALLY cold 😒😒 discomfort is not manageable when you’re not around to ridicule.

Bring us some hot dinner when you come please 🥺

Rhys,

Tamlin is being insufferable. Is there a way for you to bring Feyre back early? Please. We’ve had to replace four chairs and a table so far.

Cauldron bless you,

Dearest Rhys,

I’ve heard from a little birdie you stole Tamlin’s beautiful Cursebreaker bride? Oh, aren’t you evil ✨✨

(I don’t blame you, though. She’s gorgeous.)

Anyway, you up for a bootycall sometime? I’d love to reinstate some more bonds between our Courts. I’ll bring the booze, you’ll only need to bring your sexy bum (and maybe the Shadowsinger? 👀👀)

Lemme know whether you’d like to meet up with me and when. I’ll send you my schedule later.

May the Cauldron give you fantastic orgasms,

xxxx Helion 🍆💦

Not making much progress, are you? She still hates you and all that. How sad.

Maybe tell her about the mating bond? Oh, wait. You’re stupid and love to torture yourself.

Rhysand,

By the Mother, if there is ANY way to bring her back earlier I will kiss your feet without hesitation. I haven’t slept more than an hour these last few days. I do not think I can last the rest of the week.

We were too hasty in replacing the chairs and table and I am currently standing in a battlefield. He has made four servants cry today and more will be added, I am sure. I don’t know why I’m telling you this, because you aren’t approachable, but at the moment you’re the only one I can vent to. Also, you might not answer. Allow me to use you as a diary.

Ianthe is also unbelievably annoying and I do not trust her. She keeps trying to bed me. I do not want to.

Anyway, I think Tamlin is going in a rage again, so I shall hide in the trees now.

Should you be able to, please bring Feyre back early.

Cauldron bless you,

Lucien

Your Grace,

Have you had a chance to go over and approve my requests? There is no reason for this to take so long—you are aware you are our High Lord, yes? Or have you perhaps forgotten during the 50 years you warmed that red-haired mongrel’s bed?

If Morrigan has not sent them to you, please notify me asap and I will send you the requests immediately.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

May the Cauldron bless you,

Rhys,

Out of two rogue war-bands, 76 Illyrians are dead after resisting defeat with violence. 2 members, one of each group, are alive and in my custody. The children and women have been sent to camps around Illyria. No families are separated.

I will update you on any new information the 2 members will tell me. They will fold.

Cauldron bless you,

Azriel 👻

PS: Lord Devlon, we’ll have a basket of chocolate pastries sent to you as thanks for your help. I promise Cassian won’t empty it before arrival.

Rhysand,

If you hurt her I will hunt you down. She’ll never leave me for you. She is good and sweet and gentle and if she ever ends up with you you will DESTROY HER. Leave her alone.

I am going to break this bargain if it’s the last thing I do, consequences be damned. I will kill you, mark my words.

Mai, I wanna revamp my wardrobe, what's your advice?

MAI'S WARDROBE REVAMP TIPS:

Step 0: Get ideas for the ideal wardrobe you want; this step is optional, or you can move this step a little further down the line ;)

Step 1: Clean your closet and organize everything. This will give you a good overview of what you have and help you find items you don't need.

(do the whole Marie Kondo method -> does the item spark joy?)

Step 2: Give away the items you no longer need to your local thrift shop, sell them, or just hand them to a friend or relative.

(Step 0 can go here if you want)

Step 3: Make your wishlist of what you want (this is my favorite part). Check for the things you want online and put them on a wishlist >.<

Step 4: Create a budget for the clothes you want and determine what you want now and what you can buy later. It's up to you to splurge, but I recommend buying a few things to test if you like the style or size of certain things. Or you can wait until there is a sale!

(you can also go shopping, like, at an actual store :v)

Step 5: This is where you try on your items and play around with your clothes. Depending on your fashion taste, you accessorize and assemble the outfits you want to wear. ^^

ADDITIONAL TIPS:

-Organize your accessories too! Figure out what you still want, give away those you don't want, and decide what you want with your budget~

-Upcycle!!! If you like sewing or designing, sew better patterns or cute patches. Or maybe you can dye them a different color, or you can cut them up and get creative with them~

-Take care of your clothes; make sure to wash them if you sweat in them and iron them if they need it

-Check for brands that you trust or have your style and make a wishlist for them~

-BEDAZZLE YOUR SHIT >:D (optional... unless?)

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Embrace the things you are into. Lolita fashion? Gothic fashion? Or maybe you dress more Basic? Clothes are a way to express yourself, but there is no need to dress in a certain way to please anyone. Sometimes, you want to wear a $200 Lolita dress with a bonnet and parasol, and sometimes, you just want to wear a band T-shirt with sweatpants. That's the magic of fashion; it's for everyone and anyone~

Ultimately, you wear what makes you happy ^_^

I went out today to pick up meds and get my covid and flu shots (was gonna get the sat but had to reschedule) and then went to goodwill for a bit to look for some work clothes (need some like black underlayers and could use an alternate pair of boots cause like my usual work boots are steel toe and kinda heavy for like Halloween acting where I might be like crawling around and my fashion boots and getting pretty worn out and they've got the kind of lace up things that come undone if you're also, like, crawling around.. need crawling around boots), ended up finding some stuff I needed + couple extra goodies including some little gifts for my mom, I've been feeling less tense spending money this week knowing I'll have a paycheck incoming, MOSTLY it has just been necessities like pet stuff or like work related thing like I preemptively ordered some clothes online as so if I can't find even cheaper stuff irl before work starts I have it but otherwise I can totes return it, but even that has been a relief like yay I'm super prepared here, I got black long sleeve shirts because I'm gonna be outside so this way I won't freeze, I did in fact find some perfect boots at goodwill today a little on the higher side for second hand faux leather at like $15 but I'm like, but you know what I'll be paid I don't need to leave behind what I need to be comfy and regret it if I can't find anything else just cause I'm like "well maybe if they were $10 🙄" cause that's the thing like I'm always having to forgo my comfort to shave off dollars here and there it sucks!! Ultimately it's not gonna be like an ENORMOUS check it's a seasonal gig with only a certain amount of days buts it's still significantly more money I usually rake in per month so

I've made like one single more luxurious purchase of a couple skincare things cause I'm like scraping the end of my last jar of moisturizer and I really need to do something about my facial hair coming in it's getting itchy and feels kinda dry, I perused reddit and men say like working a quality balm into it down to the follicles before bed really helps, and wouldnt you know it the etsy shop that makes the moisturizers I really like makes a beard balm too??? 🥺 I'm using the word luxurious so loosely though like even that's not all that expensive it's just like fhjdgjkf I almost never buy any special things for myself these days like Me as a person is just not in my budget, but anyway that's probably mostly it for now at least until I find our like when checks get deposited like if it's weekly, biweekly, or what, and at the end of the whole season I'd like to see what my checking account looks like after evenings all deposited and my credit card balance is at 0

Oh I got so side tracked all I meant to get at originally was I passed out dead asleep when I got home and woke up less than an hour ago after having super weird stress dreams all afternoon/night... also my arms hurt, both of them, I'm gonna feel so shitty I just know it I just hope it passes before my rehearsal on the 14th

vigilante!yoongi sneak peek :D

6/45: episode 0

Yoongi wonders how much he costs.

He wonders what he’s worth when he puts on his suit and straps his gun to his holster, praying to nobody in particular except for the desire that he doesn’t get so much blood on his clothes because premium dry-cleaning already takes a chunk out of his budget.

The last he’s heard (just last night on his flatscreen that he had thrifted and repaired himself for cheap) is that his body, dead or alive, is north of 10 million won or something like that. He’s unable to remember the exact number because Miso, his cat, is somewhat of a dumbass and launched herself at the TV when a dog appeared behind the reporter.

Yoongi knows the estimate to how much he costs but he doesn’t know what exactly he’s worth when he’s out on the streets avenging people who had been wronged, regardless of his relation to them.

He can’t place a number on his significance to the people of the city, and he doesn’t even know if he’s that significant in the first place to be even thought of outside of the countless reports and ads about him.

Yoongi wonders how much he’s worth when somebody knocks on the door of what he considers to be home (a small abandoned warehouse he had claimed for himself and spruced up through the years), and when he doesn’t answer like how all rational, most-wanted people do — he wonders how much he’s worth seeking when the door to the garage is picked open.

You stand like how a starstruck fan would right by the entrance of his garage, unable to take steps towards him because as soon as you make eye contact, the rehearsed script in your brain completely falls off.

Yoongi isn’t scared. He’s faced bigger and much, much more menacing people than you. He’s perplexed because in fact, it’s his first time seeing someone so unlike of his world step up to his turf. You’re not even armed by the obvious looks of it and you look surprised that the door opened because you actually are; you didn’t think it’d work out as smoothly as this.

“You’re Agust D.”

The words tumble out of you in a half-fascinated, half-worried sigh. You blink repeatedly to internalize that his face is exactly how you remember it and precisely how his features fit to the mask that’s displayed on the news all night long.

Yoongi humors you not only by leaving his gun on the table to where he sits, but also by trudging towards you slowly. He’s still in his bloodied suit from awhile ago and he can’t exactly unwind now with a drink when a stranger’s in his premises; a perplexing one at that, because you just step towards him until there’s a reasonable gap between the two of you.

“Who’s that?” he tilts his head, furrowing his eyebrows.

Your eyes feel dry and you try to blink rapidly just so they wouldn’t hurt from staring too long, your focus divided between the way his handsome face scrunches up into a faux pout and the way he tucks his hand to his pocket, no doubt clasping something in there that would be enough to (possibly) take you out.

“You are,” you mutter, swallowing the lump on your throat.

“How can I help you, kid?” Yoongi asks, dodging right past your insistence. He can’t place a name to your face and he doesn’t exactly have the energy to rummage his mind. “I don’t take kindly to people trespassing in my area.”

Come to think of it, you’re rude for breaking in here. You had imposed on his home and as much as you want to correct every bad idea he has of you at the moment, you figure that you don’t have enough time before Yoongi takes care of you in the assumption that you were going to harm him.

Harming Yoongi is the last thing you’d ever do in your lifetime.

“I want to help you.”

Yoongi blinks once, twice in recollection. He remembers that he barely had any hits to him awhile ago and he’s certain for a fact that he doesn’t have a concussion for your words to echo in his head.

“Help me?” he narrows his eyes, curious at the eager gaze you give him. “Help me to do what?”

“I… I know you’re a vigilante.”

“People call me that?” he hums, crossing his arms.

“So you are Agust D?” your eyes widen, once again surprised that you didn’t just intentionally break into the home of anyone else besides him.

Yoongi has a lot of things in his mind, ranging from the pressing question of how you got here to how you even know who he is. He thinks to how you don’t belong here or to anywhere at all for the matter, the nervous courage you have even facing him alone telling him that you’re not worried to what he could possibly do to you.

“You’re awfully brave,” Yoongi hums, clicking his tongue. “Tell me why you’re here before I shoot you.”

“I want to help you,” you reiterate, voice now wavering at the threat you didn’t think he’d break out this early into your interaction.

“You’ve gotta be more specific,” Yoongi shrugs, in no real hurry of getting his gun because something just tells him that you won’t even dodge. You’re here because you want to, however you want him to react to you. “I’ll be honest — no one’s ever waltzed up to me like this before telling me they wanna help,” he admits, looking you up and down. God, you don’t even have a silly little can of pepper spray on your pocket or a tiny bread knife tucked in your shoe. You came to him as vulnerable as you could ever be. “Usually, it’s scum begging me for forgiveness.”

The threat of what he does and can do looms over your head, but you suppose it’s just the general anxiety that one could feel when someone literally threatens their life. You know Agust D as much as the next well-read and common person does; he doesn’t harm anyone who’s innocent.

“I-I want to finance you,” you squeak throughout your nervousness, head hung low.

“Excuse me?” Yoongi scoffs and you immediately panic when you hear his tone, urgently shaking your hands.

“I don’t mean to offend you-…”

“You are offending me, kid,” he spits, his eyes turning into slits. You’re unbelievable and that’s ironic because he doesn’t even know you in the first place. “You come to my place uninvited and you’re telling me you want to sponsor me like I’m this big charity case? Let me ask you, who and what do you think you’re financing?”

The script you had in your head never resurfaces, but you’re just as thankful because it’s your heart that speaks for you — you just hope that Yoongi sees it for what it actually is.

“I’m financing you, Agust D,” you clarify. “You’re the justice that the city needs.”

[schmergo]

With the news that David’s Bridal has filed for bankruptcy, I just wanted to say that I hope they can find a buyer and don't shut down for good. I personally love my David's Bridal wedding dress (heck, it's my favorite thing I've ever worn!) and loved the experience I had at the Springfield location. I know it's not the fanciest, classiest joint and it's not very hip to have a mass-produced wedding dress from a chain store, but it felt welcoming and accessible to me in a way that not many wedding industry businesses do.

I feel like the gulf is diverging rapidly between 'high-end wedding' and 'budget wedding.' The average wedding dress from a bridal boutique costs almost $2,000, while online stores offer much cheaper dresses. But while there are a lot of convenient and affordable options online, it doesn't give that experience of trying on different dresses and styles in front of your family and friends with the help of a knowledgeable consultant-- and you might not realize how different the dress looks in person than online until it's too late. 

And while secondhand or consignment bridal stores are an amazing option and I highly recommend them (I planned to visit one if my trip to David's Bridal didn't pan out), you won't have as many options for styles in your size if you have a specific vision or style preference like I did. David's Bridal makes the full experience of trying on wedding dresses in-store accessible to people who can't afford a designer gown. I don't like the idea of the 'bridal store' experience only being for the wealthy. But budget isn't the only reason it felt more inclusive to me.

My favorite thing about David's Bridal is their size-inclusiveness. Unlike many higher-end retailers, they have sample sizes in store in a wide variety of sizes. Many brides who visit fancy bridal stores can only hold a dress up to them and imagine what it looks like, or try it on with the whole back open and clipped into place. Typical sample gowns are often in designer bridal sizes 8-12, but that translates to something closer to street sizes 4 to 8. That leaves out a LOT of customers. Though things are changing, they haven't changed fast enough. 

Not only are David's Bridal dresses fairly true to size, they have samples in a wide variety of sizes. I wear a street size 10-12 and those are the dress sizes I tried on at David's-- and I was able to try on every dress in my own size except for one brand new dress that we pulled off the mannequin. Unlike many other bridal stores, David's Bridal doesn't charge more for plus sizes, offers all their dresses in sizes 0-30, and uses models of all sizes in their advertising and catalogs.  Although I didn't purchase a plus size dress from David's Bridal, a street size 10-12 is often considered plus at other higher-end bridal stores and would have much more limited options, especially within my small budget.  And it made me feel way better to know that I was shopping in a place that wouldn't turn away other people I love and care about if they were to shop there, too.

Like many chain stores, David's Bridal experiences and stores can vary between locations. I've heard some horror stories about the stores, and I also was warned not to use their alterations department (I didn't). But when I had my appointment at David's Bridal, I never felt excluded from making certain choices or uncomfortable with my body, never felt like a less valuable customer, and the consultants were only positive and enthusiastic. I can sometimes feel very self-conscious when shopping for clothes, but it was a great day with some of my favorite people and had good vibes only.

I do hope that they find a buyer and keep at least some stores open, because I'd really like other people to have a nice welcoming experience like I did!
