WRO Month Day 21: Peace Be Thy Name

Looking back, I have no regrets...

[thetxtdevil]

This blog has become a thought dump page and you're going to deal with it

Ok ok ok,,, listennnn Fox Hybrid!Yeonjun

mdni - some smutty stuff, hybrids duh, biting duh, mating DUH

Its cliché but my mind is thinking, stray wild fox starved and lonely somehow how finds himself in the edges of a town, your town ofc. Just as he peeps through the trees he sees you on your daily walks and oh my does he think you're beautiful and *ahem* scrumptious. Fox!Yeonjun takes a few days to work up the courage to step out of the woods to finally stalk towards you, I mean, meet you.

You're walking and right when you were about to put your earbuds in you hear foot steps behind you. You turn around thinking someone is there but there is no one. You shake your head at your curiosity to turn back around to bump into the fox.

Dirty, is the only thing you can think of, you're frightened but god he’s dirty af. His orange hair is more of a brown dusty color, clothes ripped and not his size, but his eyes, his big brown yet predatory eyes have you melting. He needs a home. That night you bathed him and Yeonjun was basically purring to you.

And thats how you ended up with a fox hybrid in your house. Well, sorta, see foxes are independent, so Yeonjun liked to escape your cozy home and go back into the wild. Adaptable and very observant it wasn't hard to find his way back to you. He'd come every other day bringing back meat he hunted for, you two cook a meal together, and ofc another bath only from you bc he says he doesn't know how to do it himself :))

By the end of winter your seasonal depression is itching to go back outside for your walks. You hoped to see your handsome fox as it had been some time since you've seen jjun. You watch as the spots of snow melts into the green grass, the wind was brisk but bearable, crisp to breathe in. While walking you jolt, a tickle on your skin when you feel something brush against you. You look to your left to get a flash of a white tip of an orange tail, looking to your right you see Yeonjun, your handsome fox. He was very vocal today, talking about everything and anything, even singing a few times. He liked how you had evident heart eyes every time he sang.

You two end up back at your house ready to do your usual, give him a bath. But something felt different, usually jjun would be jumping off the walls for his special treatment but this time he was right next to you, holding your hand leading you to your bathtub. Bending down to turn the faucet on, you could sense the fox right behind you. Straightening your posture you're not surprised to feel his arms around your waist as he tends to be cuddly, but you are surprised by his abundant neck kisses and the hardon poking your back. One thing leads to another and now you're both naked and in the bathtub.

Yes, you knew all the times Yeonjun creeped on you before he introduced himself, you're not dumb, but you never felt unsafe with him. The fox is gorgeous, a flirt, a smooth talker, but he had a playful and caring nature that made you feel like he was another home at home. So his need for mating you felt natural, good even. Letting him leave a bunch of love bites all over your skin as you ride him. You two giggling at the waves of the bath water, but all giggles were put aside when you stroke his fluffy orange tail awakening his feral side, having him thrust up into you so much that the water floods the whole bathroom floor. Your hands in his hair then reaches up to his pointy ears holding them for dear life. Panting, moaning, overwhelmed by his force, yet you take time to admire Yeonjun's pretty features as they contort by the feeling of you.

And yeah so, after that you had to clean each other up again. Yeonjun becomes very protective after mating you. Never leaving your side, gets a little frustrated when your don't go to bed right away. Fox!Yeonjun just wants to stay up on guard as you get your beauty sleep. And foxes tend to have one mate for life, but you don't need to know that....

A nuisance,

TxT's Devil

Coming out of my self-imposed tumblr ban cuz this is the third post I see along the lines of "man we gotta jump ship" so here are some other ways to be social/do fandom/ect. I'm not gonna call them "tumblr alternatives" because I won't lie to you these are gonna be very different experiences from tumblr. But if you use tumblr as a way to meet new people/post your thoughts/do fandom/keep up with folks, then maybe one of these is worth looking into.

COHOST

I don't use Cohost so idk if it's good or not, but all the people who use it tell me it's A Whole Lot Like Tumblr. Got pretty mixed reviews on this one, people seem to either love it or hate it, either way you could check it out it's free.

PILLOWFORT

My main bitch, so I can actually talk about it.

Pros:

Lots of cool privacy features

Porn is allowed

Website has been consistently getting updates and listening to the userbase

No ads because it's user-funded

Cons:

Being user-funded means the website is frequently struggling with money

NEOCITIES

This one isn't really a social media, it's a host for websites.

Pros:

You can do whatever the fuck you want here

Cons:

You have to code it all yourself

If you didn't immediately skip this rolling your eyes, here are some ressources to get a blog running with minimum efforts, and a cool zine to figure out what to put on your blog.

FANLISTING

Ye Old internet way to find new peeps in your fandom. It's a list of fans. I'm listing thefanlisting.org here because it's the biggest hub of fanlistings out there, but there are plenty that aren't listed so if you've got a topic dear to your heart it might be worth googling up "[fandom/ship/character] fanlisting" and see what turns up.

Pros:

It's literally just adding your name to a list of fans. Low spoon effort.

Cons:

If you want to talk to any of the people on the fanlisting you have to actually manually contact them via email or website or whatever they provided for contact. High social anxiety effort.

Anyways that's all I got chief. You probably already heard of half of those and the other half might have made you go "hey wtf that's not at all what I use tumblr for why would I need these" and the answer is it's not my problem. I discovered these when looking for ways for me personally to do social media so if you do social media differently sorry I can't help ya. But hey maybe you'll discover something new who knows.

Preemptive answers to things I am sure will clog my notifications for years to come:

None of these are like tumblr! Look bestie this is like the fifth time people consider abandoning tumblr at this point you have to make your peace with the fact that there is no other website like this one.

The websites you mentioned are nearly empty there's no one in my community here! Bro if you want a website with lots of people you don't need me listing off where you can go you already know where people are going (aka: Bluesky) If you're so scared to be alone then invite your buddies to move there together so you can chat together idk. Be the change you want to be in the world.

I'm not gonna use these. Then you've got my blessing to not use these. I assure you you don't need to reblog this post just to tell me you won't use these. I don't care.

Anyways. Peace. Dunno how many people this is gonna be useful to, but if you wanted to branch out of the usual reddit/bluesky/twitter, hopefully this will help.

Bunch of pillowfort invite codes under the cut since I got a bunch. Sorry I got no cohost as I said I don't use that one.

Hey there!

I've seen a bunch of peeps echoing your thoughts on the KH adaptation, like how it's kinda "Japanese" and might be hard to transfer. Can you talk about what exactly gives KH that "Japanese" vibe? I've checked out some JBLs, but my memory of KH is lowkey foggy. Or if you've talked about this before elsewhere, can you drop the link pls? (btw, loving your stray thoughts posts – they're a life saver keeping up with all the BLs. Thanks!)

I'm trying to find a useful way to describe this. Japanese live-action media still hearkens back to a stage tradition, and as such you need to widen your eye to appreciate what's going on.

Close-Ups

I think Westerners watching Asian media rely heavily on close-ups of actors doing things to read their emotions in a scene, and that's not always where the most important stuff is happening in a Japanese drama.

I'm struggling with the gif search, but this shot above is a good example of that stage tradition. Hashimoto was feeling embarrassed at this moment and wanted to leave, so she literally exists stage right. The Japanese also love depth of frame. We see Aida as the barrier she has to cross to leave in the foreground, and we can see that life is still going on in the background.

I think a lot of us in the West rely on close ups like this to read characters from any given moment, and you see this reflected in what gets giffed and what doesn't. Michieda Shunsuke has incredibly large and expressive facial features, and he exaggerates them constantly to play up the hyperreal aspects of Aoki, which is another staple of these kinds of Japanese stories.

You got a lot of this in Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice But to Kiss! as well.

I'm struggling right now because I don't feel like fighting Viki and God Himself to get screenshots of the wider shots in the show, but the wider shots allow for us to get information about multiple characters and the dynamics between them quickly.

Thematic Focus

Another thing that Japanese dramas have that sticks out for me is focus. Because filming in Japan is expensive, most of their comedies of any sort are in a half-hour time slot, a lot like US comedies. You have to use your time wisely, and so there's far less mission creep to create an in-show ad for juice or to insert or expand side characters to try out other pitches that didn't make the cut for the whole show.

The entire focus of Kieta Hatsukoi's TV Asahi adaptation focuses on the complications around the confused romances between Aoki, Hashimoto, Ida, and Aida. We spend time with Aoki's disaster bi revelation, his and Hashimoto's cowardice in romance, and Ida's demisexual discovery. We cover a lot of ground in 10 short episodes that Thailand media won't in 12 long episodes.

As a result, the pacing overall tends to be extremely consistent and you're rarely asking yourself why a narrative beat is happening. Because this show is about two characters having a queer awakening, we get interactions across age groups about what it means for these boys to be Known Queers in their community and see them deal with that.

Emotional Communication

One of the other things that feels distinctly Japanese is the ways characters will communicate their feelings to each other. Sometimes there's a stoic layer coming from male characters who won't express themselves because they think their actions are making it clear, and then another character will come through to challenge their presumptions about what has been done and what hasn't been said.

One of my favorite moments is in episode 9 when Aoki gets frustrated that Ida doesn't seem to be straining under hormonal urges the way he is, which lands well because the audience and Ida knows that Aoki is struggling with those urges.

Some of this could come down to translation issues and the things that are presumed in Thai that don't always make it specifically onto the screen, but oftentimes I find that Thai characters are having a big confrontation about the wrong issue that misses the core fight, and then that gets resolved as if it was the core disconnect.

Those are just some of my thoughts firing from the hip. The vibe felt off in the trailer we saw yesterday and it left me feeling deeply uninspired. I'm hoping that as they work on the script and preparations for the roles the Thai version will be solid, but adaptations don't always work.

Big thanks to the peeps who wanted to hear more about my version of the Guide

Headcanons and story stuff under the cut

First things first - Because this AU focuses mostly on my made up backstory I had to give her a name

Emma Van de Laar is what I settled with A Priestess from Holland born sometime in the 1400's Devout woman her entire life

Unfortunately for her everything supernatural seemed to disagree with her peaceful lifestyle - The most notable incidents being her run-ins with vampires and beasts alike

When she was 25 a Strigoi made it's way into her home, impersonating her beloved dog who went missing few days prior Then in her late 40's she was forcefully turned by a Vampire

Being turned into a creature of the night caused great distress, faith was all she had her whole life, she couldn't bear to lose it

It took 20+ very painful years but she managed to regain her faith in spite of her vampirism Trying to put her life back on tracks she once again took up her position as the head of the local Church

Fast forward 300 years things started getting a little boring Emma started yearning for all of the things she's missed

This is when what I call the Party Girl Era sets in Accidentally joined a cult And all of the things mentioned in her therapy session with Laszlo happened

Which brings me to the most worked on part of this AU Her relantionship with Van Helsing

I asked myself ""How fucked up would it be if they actually loved each other ?"" Here's the story I put together

Van Helsing was sent back to Holland by the Church - they heard some vampires might be targeting the local Priestess What they didn't know is that Emma is the vampire seen in the area

When Abraham arrived Emma was slightly shapeshifting to hide her most noticeable vampiric features She knew he was a vampire slayer

They spent around two months just kinda hanging out together During that time Abraham slowly fell in love with the holy woman It didn't take long for Emma to feel the attraction as well

But uh oh - then there was the accidental reveal Emma burnt herself on Abraham's silver ring (while they were flirting no less) Mortified by the possible consequences of her slip up she tried to escape

When Abraham caught up, instead of killing her, he tried to talk things out A lot of feelings spill out during that conversation Fed up with the tension, Emma makes a move and that's how their affair starts

A bunch of trust building later and they do end up being an actual couple Would love to show the comic I made for this but it's like 38 panels long and Tumblr would piss itself In total they spend five years together before everything goes to hell

Hell started when the Vampiric Council finally had enough of Emma's bs Forcefully seperated her and Abraham Took her to America And drilled into her mind for so long she dissociated so hard she ended up getting amnesia After successfully rooting her into the Council's system she got the position of the Guide

Abraham didn't want to give up on his beloved and spent years searching for her Unfortunately... When he found Emma it wasn't her anymore The brilliant woman he once knew was no longer there

After that point the timeline starts lining up with the Show Some things do differ but it's not anything major until the Nightclub comes around

Obviously Guidja happens in this AU With the backstory I gave the Guide their dynamic is really fun to mess around with

Oh and lastly What the hell is a Strigoi ??

Basically: vampire 2 electric boogaloo I thought it would be fun if there were different species of vampiric creatures

Strigoi have some interesting folklore attached to them It was super fun to mess around with and bend in all sorts of directions

Emma is actually a Vampiric Strigoi which is one of the four Strigoi variants I put together Which basically means she's not really a vampire but something closely related

My idea for making her a Strigoi comes from the Show and folklore Strigoi seem to be put into a similar category as Wraiths and apparently they can learn magic ?? So that was a super easy connection to make

I have a lot of different design notes for my version of bestie Guide too but this mess is already way too long

So I'll end it with songs that were a huge inspiration when I started working on this AU

Powerwolf: Sacramental sister, My will be done, Midnight Madonna, Demons are a girls best friend, Reverent of rats Ghost: Cirice, Mary on a cross

Today's compilation:

Boom 2001 2001 Pop / Latin Pop / Adult Contemporary / Europop / Dance-Pop / R&B

Man, I feel like I haven't done one of these super ridiculous turn-of-the-millennium Now That's What I Call Music!-type Euro comps in a very long and hot minute. And I really do tend to love these things for a few different reasons: one, you get a nice nostalgia rush with a bunch of good and fun hits from yesteryear that were popular on a global scale; two, you get to learn what another part of the world was rocking to in addition to all those global hits; and three, because pop industries all across Europe can't seem to ever help themselves, you also get some of the most mindlessly schlocky and cringiest trash imaginable 🤩. And fortunately, for better or worse, this end-of-2001 dispatch from Spain's then-long-running Boom series manages to pack all of that in here.

So, ultimately, what we have with this release is a pair of discs. One consists of songs that are sung entirely in English—except for an inexplicably lacking, instrumental version of *NSYNC's "Pop"?!—and the other one is fully in Spanish.

And disc one, naturally, contains all the classic bops that were both popular in Spain and elsewhere. With a bunch of these, you basically have what amounts to some of the most essential items for a totally killer 2001 pop playlist. There's Kylie Minogue's brilliant "Can't Get You Out of My Head;" Gorillaz' idyllically summery Soulchild remix of "19-2000," which actually features none other than the Talking Heads' own Tina Weymouth on backing vocals; Janet Jackson's "All for You," which samples the Italo-disco, Luther Vandross-led classic, "The Glow of Love" by Change, that was also sampled around the same time by duo Phats & Small for their own house banger, "Turn Around;" and Daft Punk's never-going-out-of-style "One More Time." Just pure, lovely early aughts heat in every single one of those 🔥.

But then there's the rest of this thing, which happens to come with a couple of those very distinct and personally sought after "what in the fuck am I actually listening to right now?"-type moments. One of these is a contemporary Eurodisco tune from some entity named Fundación Tony Manero called "Super Sexy Girl." Just peep some of the elite and super nuanced songwriting that went into making this total masterpiece:

Yup! I mean, how terrific is that? Isn't it amazing that someone would take the time to record something like this and then have a big label push it out and then have it included on a comp like this too? Just phenomenal work all around by everyone involved as far as I'm concerned. If your hand touched this specimen in any way, I would just like to personally say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you 🙏🥹.

And then for another healthy dose of unbelievable crap, we have—yep, you totally guessed it!—a Spanish-language cover of Billy Ray Cyrus' mega-country hit, "Achy Breaky Heart," delivered by a Mexican singer named Coyote Dax. Now, if you thought the world had left "Achy Breaky" behind and in the dust all the way back in 1992, I just don't think you understand, because this beast went all the way to the motherfuckin' top in Spain almost a whole decade later. Can't say I was expecting to hear anything quite like this on this album in particular, so, once again, the only thing I can say is that I'm forever grateful for it 🙏.

But folks, not all of the rest of this thing is bad. There's a genuinely interesting song from some band called Shivaree who are one of those groups who never achieved any real success at home in the US, but still managed to chart on the other side of the Atlantic. And I don't know if "Goodnight Moon" is fully representative of their sound, but it *kinda* sounds like if a young Britney Spears had been given some made-for-Amy-Winehouse, retro country-gothic-type music to sing over; especially when frontwoman Ambrosia Parsley gets to morphing her voice into something distinctly sweeter. And if you've seen a specific pair of episodes of Dawson's Creek, then you've definitely heard this song before too.

And lastly, I guess I never actually knew that this existed in the first place, but there's a Spanish-language version of J. Lo's "Ain't It Funny" on here; not the much more popular remix with Ja Rule that sampled Craig Mack's "Flava in Ya Ear," but the much less remembered and completely different original version. If you like that one, then you'll probably enjoy it in a different tongue too as "Que ironía." Well-made, catchy Latin pop.

So, really glad that I got what I came for with this. A pretty excellent trip down memory lane, an education on some other stuff that hit big in Spain like that Shivaree song, and then some truly atrocious, can't-turn-it-off-like-I-can't-look-away-from-a-car-accident wonders 😍. Five outta five on the 'Boom Meter' indeed.

So you said screwy was left over from when your games were supposed to be more wacky and Invader Zim-esque, are Little Buddy and His Friend from that too? Just wondering! If not, what are their origins? Why’d you make them? Why are they featured in pretty much every game?

Sorry if you don’t have a good answer or if these questions are annoying, I’ve just been wondering about them the whole time, like their purpose! Thanks!

Nope!! They're just little guys I would start doodling a bunch back in highschool and so they stuck with me and I liked putting them in things!!

The biggest inspiration for them was probably Peep and the Big Wide World (unintentionally)

Just an updated posting schedule

Hey, my peeps! So, I am coming on here (as well as my other platforms) to inform you that there will be an official uploading schedule now. Of course things pop up and will change/delay posts at times, but rest assured that I will be doing what I can to try and stick to this posting schedule from here on out. While I currently do not have a whole lot of new art quite yet, I do have quite a few different pieces from my other platforms that I am realizing that I do not have on my other platforms. Sooo, because I don't really like the idea of keeping my art exclusive on platforms, here's what I plan on doing: I will post my art a week or day early to my Patreon (because I have an 'oh-so fun time' trying to figure that out/ remember that, lol) as well as when I start to get commissions coming in, but then they will go up on all of my social media platforms the next day/ next week. Please know that I have other projects on the side, so I do believe that my upload days will be once a week on either Fridays or Saturdays (Since I have off those days, and because my family does get-togethers on Saturdays as well, they may also be moved to Sunday or Postponed altogether.) I also do write and such, and am currently trying to get onto a schedule for that. Especially, too, since I am in the works of making my own tween chapter book. (I loved the books like 'Loser' when I was younger, and have actually been thinking about writing one to pair with my art degree :3...anything but animation, what the actual degree was for XD) I honestly would love to write fanfics, but I have family that follows my Wattpad and other social medias, so I have to refrain from writing them XD They haven't gotten to this account yet since barely any of them have Tumblr, but it's only a matter of time before they start asking what a fanfic is, lol. Anyways, yeah. I just decided to come on here to give you all an actual update. I love this feature about here and Cara, I can actually explain things so much better than a simple 30 second video on my story or a limited space on my Discord channel. Please know that this is NOT the upload for today. I actually may be spamming out a bunch of art just to catch this account up to speed with the rest of my social media accounts. So please have patience while I do that. Thank you! ...also, if you have any suggestions as to where I can start writing fanfics, PLEASE GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS-

Dynamic Villains and Engaging Backstories: Monaghan Shines as the Ultimate Nazi Creep

Vanguard is like most Call of Duty games—split into three main vibes. You’ve got a bunch of stuff to dive into: an epic campaign, some lit multiplayer action, and the thrill of blasting Nazi zombies to bits. If you’re looking to get in on the action, you might want to buy Xbox games to experience all these features firsthand. The campaign tells the tale of Task Force 1 trying to uncover a Nazi secret called Project Phoenix towards the end of WWII. It’s got this cool back-and-forth thing going on, with missions and flashbacks that show how the Task Force 1 squad became legends. Each character gets two missions, and the game kicks off and wraps up with full Task Force 1 missions. Even though Task Force 1 has six peeps, only four—Arthur, Polina, Lucas, and Wade—are hyped up as the main characters and Operators in multiplayer. The other two kinda get sidelined, but the whole squad is dope. They’ve got this solid team vibe that makes them feel real. You’ll catch them vibing together, throwing shade, and diving into their backstories, making the campaign super engaging. Dominic Monaghan’s Jannick Richter is the ultimate bad guy, a total Nazi creep who’s up against our heroes. Even with a gun in his face, you never really doubt that Task Force 1’s got the upper hand. Monaghan nails the villain role, bringing a genuinely unsettling performance as he toes the line of evil, disses Arthur with racist vibes, and starts questioning if his loyalty is worth it.

Engaging WWII Story with Familiar Gameplay in Call of Duty Vanguard

Vanguard’s campaign is pretty straightforward and cinematic, with no collectibles, side quests, or choices to make, which makes it a good option if you’re looking to buy PS5 games that offer a more streamlined experience. Some levels open up a bit, but you’ll quickly hit the limits and be rerouted to the main path. Cranking up the difficulty just makes enemies tougher and you easier to take down, stretching out the nine missions a bit but not changing much. You’ll get some epic moments, like jumping between two trains speeding through Nazi Germany or blowing up aircraft carriers in the Pacific. The war scenes and character stories are well-paced, even if the campaign is on the shorter side. What really pops in Vanguard’s campaign is the story and characters, offering a fresh, character-driven take on WWII. But gameplay-wise, it’s nothing new—we’ve seen this kind of action before. It’s not a bad thing, but the campaign feels like it’s just ticking off the “Yep, it has a campaign” box.

New Mounting Mechanics with Control Tweaks in Call of Duty Vanguard

Vanguard is a whole vibe compared to Treyarch’s Call of Duty style that’s all about pushing forward, but it doesn’t quite hit the same notes as Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare, even though it runs on the same tech. Coming off Black Ops Cold War, I got totally wrecked trying to play Vanguard like it was a speedy action fest. Vanguard’s fast-paced too, but its map design and destructible stuff��like walls, doors, and cover—call for a bit more strategy. Sometimes you get taken out from the sides or behind, especially on certain maps, while others stick to the classic three-lane setup with their own destructible features. Once I figured out how to play the maps right, I adjusted my game. I started sticking close to walls and objects, checking my corners, and playing way more patiently than usual. Honestly, it was pretty fun to discover a new playstyle and get the hang of each map’s vibe. I’m definitely here for Tactical combat pacing to avoid getting blasted right at spawn, but having the option to crank up player counts is cool too. Vanguard also brings back weapon mounting from Modern Warfare, which I missed in Black Ops Cold War. It even adds a new feature letting you slide along horizontal surfaces while mounted. Sledgehammer made it so weapon mounting kicks in when you ADS near a surface, but that can mess with your aim due to some annoying magnetization. Luckily, you can tweak the controls to ADS+Melee (R3) to mount, which works more like Modern Warfare and Warzone. Still, I’m lowkey puzzled why Vanguard’s default setting is different.

Potential for Year-Round Content in Call of Duty Vanguard

Vanguard’s real challenge will be how it handles post-launch content, since every Call of Duty now gets ongoing—and free—support for a year after dropping. Following the trend set by 2019’s Modern Warfare, Vanguard’s first Season kicks off on December 2. Expect three new multiplayer maps (plus Shipment coming sooner), a new Zombies main quest and Easter egg, extra unannounced Zombies stuff, and Warzone integration with a fresh Pacific map called Caldera. The one area that’s probably gonna stay pretty static is Vanguard’s campaign. With games like Destiny 2 dropping new Seasonal story stuff and missions all year long, it’d be cool to see Call of Duty try something similar. Overall, Vanguard feels like it could be Sledgehammer’s big break. With iconic characters, unique multiplayer maps, and solid integration into the Call of Duty universe, it sets the stage for what’s next, both for the year ahead and whatever Sledgehammer drops in the future.

Lords of the Fallen: Lit Gameplay Trailer, Epic Bosses, and an Immersive World

Lords of the Fallen dropped a lit gameplay trailer, plus that hella stylish video with Iron Maiden jams that came out earlier this year. They're showing off some heavy-duty combat and mega gnarly bosses, and I'm low-key praying they're as slick and intricate as the Soulslikes that HexWork is trying to copy. And OMG, did you peep that bizarre screeching skeleton egg monster straight-up meeting itself onto the player character? Total mind-blowing stuff, fam! Lords of the Fallen drops us into a whole new realm, like, over a thousand years after the epic showdown in the first game. This time, we're diving into a massive interconnected world that's, like, five times bigger than the OG game. Total game-changer, right? And if you're eager to dive into this expanded gaming world, don't forget to explore where to buy PS4 games to make the most of your adventure.

This game is packed with NPC quests, tons of cool characters, and a super immersive story. First thing, you'll create your hero before diving into the single-player action. But wait, there's more! You can also team up with a buddy for some epic online co-op action without any interruptions. And guess what? Hexworks, the studio behind this awesomeness, is led by the main dude, Saul Gascon. They came to life in 2020 and have, like, a squad of over 75 in-house developers and a bunch of outside peeps they work with. By the way, if you're interested in learning more about Saul Gascon and his team's gaming creations, you can also explore where to buy PS4 games and experience their gaming prowess firsthand.

Exploring a Massive Semi-Open World and Dual Realms

Lords of the Fallen drops you into this massive semi-open world, and in their latest video, they give us a sneak peek at some of the wild and intense spots you'll be exploring on your epic mission to take down Adyr, the demon God. And here's the cool part – you can choose your adventure style when it comes to which areas you wanna tackle first, 'cause they're all connected to at least two others. But wait, there's more! This RPG is next-level 'cause you're not just surviving in one world – you're rocking two thanks to the game's rad dual realm feature. Lords of the Fallen takes you to the dope Axiom, right? But there's also this spooky place called Umbral, which is the undead version of Axiom. Each realm has its crazy paths, wicked enemies, rad characters, and, of course, epic loot. With the Umbral Lamp, you can teleport to Umbral whenever you want, but it'll cost you one of your two lives. If you kick the bucket in the living realm, you'll respawn in the same spot, but in the undead realm, for one last shot at staying alive. But let me tell you, the odds ain't gonna be in your favor. By the way, speaking of odds, if you're in the market for some new gaming experiences, you might want to explore where to buy PS4 games for a chance to discover some hidden gems.

Co-op Action at Vestiges and Crafting Skills

Lords of the Fallen brings some fresh deets in the Extended Gameplay Presentation, fam. Now, peep this: when you wanna squad up with a homie for co-op action, all you gotta do is hit up a chill in-game rest spot. You can either roll with your day one or get matched up with a random player. Your co-op buds got your back until one of you says "Peace out." And here's the real sauce: you can flex your crafting skills and make your vestiges, but it's gotta be in super-specific spots and you need some mega-rare resources to pull it off.

Lords of the Fallen: The animation feels kinda meh, just like in the OG game, but the combat vibes are lit, yo. The SFX is kinda rough, but hopefully, it'll be on fleek in-game. At 8:28, it's straight-up LOL-worthy. Realm jumping is low-key cool, but I'm low-key worried it might mess up the level design, you know? Not feeling the world and vibes, and where are the characters?

[comicgeekscomicgeek]

Comics or cartoons, Wildcat's fantastic. (And was voiced by R. Lee Ermey in the Brave and the Bold cartoon).

But it's kind of an amazing feat he's still around as a character at all. The comic version was a back-up feature and only appeared in two Golden Age JSA stories (and only then, because of a temporary split between DC and All-American Comics).

But he got brought out of mothballs for a lot of JLA-JSA team-ups.

And then he teamed-up with Batman in a whole bunch of the Brave and the Bold comics, as Bob Haney was a boxing fan.

And got used as a mainstay in the All-Star Comics revival, and he's been a member core member ever since.

He was nearly scuttled during Zero Hour, when many of the JSA were aged into enfeeblement or outright killed, but Beau Smith continued using him as part of Guy Gardner's supporting cast, and Chuck Dixon tied him into Gotham peeps.

And so he proves cats really do have nine lives.

Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Wildcat

Ted Grant was a born fighter. His skills and abilities were unmatched and he became a premiere prizefighter. Victorious at every turn, Grant became bored with boxing and sought out greater challenges as a costumed crimefighter. Donning a cat-themed suit, he became the vigilante known as Wildcat.

Following the Thanagarian invasion, Wildcat was asked to join the Justice League, an invitation he gladly accepted. Wildcat was a good deal older than many of the League's members and he helped many of them refine their combat skills. Yet he rarely assigned to field missions. Feeling discouraged and under appreciated, Wildcat endured something of a midlife crisis.  Determined to show he still had it, Wildcat turned to a place where he could prove his pugilistic prowess: Roulette's Meta-Brawl.

At Meta-Brawl, Wildcat went up against super powered adversaries in a series of no-holds-barred cage-matches with a full house of spectators gambling on the outcomes. Despite his lack of metahuman powers, Wildcat won again and again, becoming the undisputed champion and Roulette’s most lucrative attraction.  

The heroic Black Canary was a longtime pupil of Wildcat and saw him as a surrogate father.  When she discovered his involvement in Meta-Brawl she became concerned that it was heading toward disaster.  As such, Canary elicited Green Arrow’s help in trying to convince Wildcat to give up Meta-Brawl.  

And yet Wildcat was not so easily dissuaded.  He was reliving his glory days and was not going to give it up.  He even accepted Black Canary’s challenge: if she could defeat him in the ring then he would give up Meta-Brawl for good.  Roulette was happy to oblige and her audience excitedly placed bets on this Leaguer on Leaguer match.  

In an act of misguided chivalry, Green Arrow tricked Black Canary and ended up taking her place in the ring.  Green Arrow was no match for Wildcat’s savagery, yet he had a plan.  Arrow used one of his special arrows to make it seem as though his heart had stopped.  

Wildcat was horrified, shocked that his need to prove himself had cost someone their life. He was greatly relieved when Green Arrow had shown it to be a ruse, yet the experience had changed Wildcat’s attitude: he was done with Meta-Brawl.  

The wonderful Dennis Farina provided the voice for Wildcat, with the hero first appearing in the debut episode of Justice League Unlimited, ‘Initiation.’

Minecraft headcanon worldbuilding with player species !

A bit ago already, I wanted to have consistency in my headcanon designs of mcyt, so i started making categories of players depending on how their skins look to headcanon them as part of the same “species”

Since then i quite developed the thing and have… quite a bunch of species haha

Either a player is assigned to a species because of how the character looks, or for some lore reasons (canon, fanon, or for my au DatD)

And I finally sketched and detailed every species, so here I go !

(also assigned every (or most, might have missed some) members of hermitcraft and dsmp so they’ll serve as exemple o7

edit: Now with Empires peeps !

---

player ability: what differs a player from a mob. Consists in being able to manipulate material around them, like a kind of telekinesis power (grab chunks of material and move them easily). Also included protective black out, allowing them to escape and regenerate from what would be a mortal hit to a mob, granting them a conditional immortality.

(a * means that the drawing doesn't represent the whole species, which have many variantes possible)

Humanoids:

Angels:

Quite a special species; mythical winged players, linked to a certain deity or legend. The only species possessing wings and the ability to fly, can look like any type of bird, bat or flying bug.

Known players: Pearl (moth), Phil (crow), Scott (owl)

Elves:

Humanoid players with horns and tail, one, if not the most, common species of player

(artist note: Elves weren’t supposed to have horns. But i just drew one of them like this without thinking, and a friend encouraged me to keep every elf like this. Cause yeah actually, i don’t have to follow common standards :D)

Known players: Cub, False, Impulse, Scar, Wels, Sapnap, Punz, Purpled, Nikky, Connor, Joel, Joey, Katherine

Imps:

Usually nocturnal species, with features akin to cats and owls (mostly the eyes, with good night vision). Their behavior can get pretty wild at night, making some of them avoid the darkness or the moon by sleeping more than most players.

Known players: Bdubs, Keralis, George

Gremlins:

Usually smaller than most humanoids, with visually missing facial features. Their mouth is invisible most of the time, appearing and revealing their fangs and split toung only when laughing or singing, which makes them one of the scariest species.

known players: Grian, Wilbur, Quackity, Shubble

Deads*:

Glitchy players who survived a perma kill, although with consequences. This species includes every player based on or looking like skeletons, zombies and other undead creatures.

Edit: In their past life, all Deads were humans, as surviving a perma death is their particularity

Known players: Cleo (drowned), Jack (husk/burn victim)

“Humans”:

The closest species to us, though the name is misleading. You should be scared of them, player ability is a pretty big business if applied in real life

this species does not exist because i didn’t have idea yet for theses players, no no no,,,,

Edit: Humans' particularity is, in fact, their ability to survive perma kill, turning into Dead players

known players: Etho, Hypno, Iskall, Joe, Tfc, Xb, Zedaph, Ponk, Karl, Fwhip, Sausage, Pixl

Mob derived:

The notion of species is a bit more blurry for this one, it is more of a porte-manteau term which includes several variations. There’s two more common types of mob-derived players:

Hybrids*:

Humanoid players with mobs/animals features, though the features of humans and animals are quite well mixed together making them look like a creature of their own.

known players: Gemini (reindeer), Beef (bull), Tommy (chicken), Tubbo (bee), Puffy (sheep), Hbomb (cat), Jimmy (cod)

Anthros*:

Players looking way more like their mobs counterparts than humanoid players. Usually smaller, still keeping physical abilities an animal can possess (strengh, agility, etc)

known players: Ren (dog-wolf), Fundy (fox), Techno (hoglin), Ant (cat), Lyzzie (axolotl)

Both of these “species” can be derived from any animals, existing in minecraft or not. This also includes striders and piglins. If one player is based on a flying animal, their wings would be too small or too weak to lift them. Only angels are able to fly on their own.

Others, more precises, species of mob derived player exist;

Enderians:

Slightly smaller variant of endermen and closer to humanoids in proportion. The horns and eyes can be of any shade of purple. For some enderians, the player ability can make them possess off colored horns and/or eyes, although rare

Known players: Ranboo (gold horns)

Creepers:

This species is a special case on its own, as these players are litteral creeper mobs born with player ability, with minimal physical change (bigger than wild creepers). Although their form can be a disadvantage for some aspects of the game, this often makes them the most ingenious players.

known players: Doc, Sam

Slimes*:

Type of invertebrate player, looking more or less like humanoid players, depending on their will to ressemble another player or not. Can technically be of any color.

known players: Jevin (wild blue), Charlie (humanoid green)

Llagers:

Species of players derived from villagers, pillagers and other mobs of the same family. One of the strongest species, but often underestimated. As natural villager mobs possess some aspect of player abilities, being a full player emlified their strenght.

(following personal headcanons of villagers, these mobs and players are almost looking like land shark people, we can thank Foolish for this)

Known players: Foolish (dwarf/totem based)

Cryptids:

Group of species with more unusual features compared to the rest

Spectres*:

Humanoid players with some pretty wild anormal features, transforming their body while still somewhat looking like a human to some degree (mostly affecting the eyes, more or less keeping a classic form) can be seen as external corruption or glitches

known players: Stress (demon/fairy), Tango (nether spectre), BBH (full demon), Eret (white eyes), Hannah (half thorns/plant based)

Blobs*:

Glitchy players looking like nothing else, neither like mobs nor like other players. They have peculiar body shape, quite simple but disproportionate, either with uniform colors or abstacts/graphic patterns

Known players: Dream, EX (clonning accident)

Inorganics*:

Special players who have been constructed, mechanical objects, plants or rocks containing the essence of a player.

Known players: Mumbo (robot), Skeppy (gemstone)

Shapeshifters:

Players unstable enough to change shape as they wish. Need to be contained from time to time to rest and keep their form.

Known players: Xisuma (animals only)

___

If you read everything, thank you so much ^^ I'll glady answer any ask about the species or if you want to know which player (or yourself) belongs to which species !

20:24 // ❥ new alert! // mark, the sweetest boy alive

“look, i told you,” jeno says, shoving his phone in your face as he points aggressively at the picture he had taken a few hours ago. “there are eighteen of them, look!” he repeats, finger shifting about the screen in an attempt to point out all eighteen statues he was referring to.

“you missed four out,” you sigh, putting your chopsticks down. “i think i got a picture,” you mumble, entering your gallery, scrolling through the photos in search of the one that would prove jeno wrong. he inhales another spoonful of rice, commenting, “you can’t find it, right? because it doesn’t exist?”

you roll your eyes, trying your best to recall when it was that you had taken the photo. you jump in excitement when it hits you - you had taken it on your boyfriend’s phone.

“babe?” you call out, reaching out for mark’s phone and unlocking it swiftly. “is it okay if i scroll through your gallery? i need to find the photo of the statues we took last fall,” you continue, peeping over at mark who was still busy doing the dishes.

“sure,” he replies, giving you the green light. you enter his gallery, scrolling in a hurry, deadset on proving jeno wrong.

jeno waits for a few moments, but instead of a retort, he notices your halted thumb, and your quirked brow. he doesn’t want to intrude mark’s privacy, so instead of just looking over at whatever that is on the screen that has caught your attention, he asks, “what’s wrong?”

in your hurry, you had accidentally scrolled way past last fall. instead, you have entered (probably) summer of two years ago. you manage to tear your eyes away from the screen, shifting your gaze to return jeno’s, with, “what are these?”

you turn the screen to face jeno. he takes a glance, before stuffing down another spoonful of rice, with a nonchalant, “mark’s aglio olio.”

you already knew that. mark’s aglio olio. mark’s signature aglio olio that you have engraved in the deep depths of your heart. it was the first dish he made for you, seven months into your relationship after the one time you had casually remarked that it’s sweet to be surprised with a homecooked meal. you’d never even imagined mark would surprise you with one, given the known fact that he isn’t the most talented in the kitchen.

but he proved you wrong.

the real question is, why are there more than twenty pictures of the same aglio olio that you had only had once?

“why are there so many pictures of it? with so many different plating styles?” you question, clicking into the first photo, then swiping left to look through the rest of them. looking through the pictures this way makes it look like they’re a bunch of progression photos. as though every new picture, was an improved dish or plating style from the last.

“oh,” renjun exclaims, taking a sip of water. “we ate that for a whole month,” he states, faking a shiver. “yeah, we swore off italian for the longest time after that,” jeno adds on, making a disgusted face.

you can’t help the smile that brightens your features when the realisation dawns upon you.

mark had been practising to make sure it was the perfect aglio olio.

you get up, making your way to the kitchen. as you approach the familiar back view of your boyfriend, your smile only tugs wider. you snake your arms around his waist, pulling him close as you rest your cheek against his shoulder blade.

you can hear the smile in his voice when he speaks gently with, “why? bored of the guys?”

you take in his scent, shaking your head. “no, i just wanted to tell you i love you,” you gush, pressing your lips against his shoulder.

he turns off the tap, wipes his hands down with a dry towel, then turns around and rests his arms around your waist. “suddenly?” he says, raising a brow.

“i love you,” you repeat, your heart oozing with nothing but love and affection for the boy in front of you.

“i love you too,” he reciprocates, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

Flirty S/O HC's

Featuring: Leviathan, Satan, and Mammon x gn!MC

Recommended to listen while reading!

Masterlist

Leviathan:

He's so shy whenever you initiate handholding and flusteres when you compliment him but when you pepper his face with kisses? Oh shit, his heart melts into a puddle of "UwU" and hides his face in the crook of your neck when you do so.

"Levi, Levi, Levi!", you peep from his right shoulder as he plays Minecraft. "Hm? I'm working on our house, whats up?", he takes off his headset to meet your eyes. * <3 mwa <3 * Oh? Everythings so blurry. Oh nevermind it's just Levi's self control vanishing as he swims in flustration and embarrassment. "W-Why'd you do that???", he burries his cherry red face in his hands as you laugh. "Sorry Lovely, you're just too cute to not be given kisses" apologizing through giggles while you hug him and stroke his hair. "Just.. just give me a heads up next time..", muffled from your chest.

Satan:

He's not bothered by it at all actually. He finds it like one of your charming personality traits. Something that makes you special. He gets embarrassed if you kiss him or hug him off guard though but he'd laugh it off and give all his attention towards you.

"Boo!", you hugged him from behind and slightly pinch his cheeks before kissing his collarbone. Hiding his face in his book, he says quietly "Well, hello to you to darling." Rubbing your thumb on his cheek you kiss his nose and exclaimed, "Dear, your ears are red!" And here he goes again. Head in the book and heart throbbing. "You should take on my poor heart slowly, it can't handle too much of your stunning-ness, love.", peeping from his book and meeting your sparkling irises. You giggled and promised to greet him properly next time.

Mammon:

He'd shrug it off like, "The Great Mammon would never get flustered over such a mere affection!" even though he'd redder than Luke's strawberry jam tarts. You'd of course tease him for it and he'll quietly admit to it. Feeling proud, you'll make sure to treat him to an icecream date

*Boom* "Eh?" You kabedonned him to the wall unexpectedly and startled the demon. He started stuttering and 'ordered' you to get of 'The Great Mammon, Avatar of Greed' but teasing him further you got close to his ear and whispered a small but clear scentence, "Hello to you too, my precious darling." When I'm telling you he pissed himself, he took the biggest L and was stamerring as you grinned at the poor shy baby boy and he couldn't help hiding his face in your chest. He has a whole two weeks to tolerate his brothers teasing because of you but it's worth it since you're his precious human :)

a/n: CUTIES BEING ALL MELTY UAVSHWHWJW SEN.EXE HAS STOPPED WORKING- anyways, gimme a follow, reblog and like to support my small acc! it helps bunches <3

Perfection

~

Tucker talking about the discontinuation of a specific part making the specific tech unfixable after a while and raving about companies ruining their tech so people buy new stuff

Danny in the back ground just puffs out this obscenely large cloud of smoke

Peeps in the comments going wild wondering how that much smoke gets into your lungs

Some think he smokes crazy amounts of weed, which would explain his past behavior

Others just blown away by the sheer volume of smoke think he swallowed a god damn smoke machine

~

Tucker is speaking about the new cooling mechanism for pears computers new waste of money computers, and how it isn't good enough for summer heat and how you're computers overheat cause it's not strong enough

And how when it's cold the liquid cooling box freezes and breaks the box making it melt onto the wires and circuit boards, frying the entire thing

Absolutely raving about how terribly designed this waste of money computer is

Danny just walks in, covered in blood, with a knife in his heart, and he just walks off screen

Comments lose their minds over this

Everyone agrees it's just a bit but it's so realistic, AND, how does he achieve the other stuff

~

Tucker explains why he's not done as many videos recently cause he lost his job and has had to take up a worse one and work more house to keep the lights on

Danny comes in and seconds this, 'yeah, he's been busting his ass, lay off in his branch, probably cause of the manager, he'd mess with everything'

Lights suddenly cut out, the only thing illuminating the room is the setting sun and Danny's glowing eyes

The photo and video editors not understanding how they were able to make his eyes glow without it looking weird with that green shade. The depth is difficult to achieve

The Photoshopers are asking just how he made that happen

The rest of the comment section are split between this being an ARG and Danny being a genuine cryptid, and one guy saying he may be an alien, dib in the comments saying how his whole eye was glowing, hinting at contacts being used, or possibly a robot LED and plastic eyes, that hes some hyper mobile animatronic, no one believes it

~

Tucker is explaining the new piece that came out for PC modifications, Danny walks in looking at his phone, suddenly he looks up with an inconvenienced face with his torso hidden by tucks chair, Danny starts sinking, comically to the floor out of view. Tuck spins his chair to the side to get an older piece to compare to the newer one

Danny is gone

He isn't on the floor

He just disappears

By now the whole comment section loves this silly little man and his randomness and sillyness

He's now dubbed Dan the strange

Also being called the creature

Others name him the skin walker

Others make even more outlandish theories he's a bunch of rats piloting a robot costume

He's an interdimensional being and that's why he acts so strange

Some say that Danny isn't even alive

Tucker never mentions him

He's a ghost haunting his house doing weird ghost stuff

A spirit

By now both Tuck and Danny are clued into the comments theories and how much they enjoy Danny's confusingness

They both share a laugh about it

AND THEN, WES WESTLEY ENTERS THE SCENE

By now everyone thinks it's a skit, but then this guy comes in as some crazy conspiracy theorist saying he's a ghost or a zombie

Everyone is convinced he's a connected account made by Tucker and Danny to expand the bit

Danny and tuck are extatic at this new development

The more he tries to convince people he's telling the truth the more deranged he looks

And dib comes in and says some other stuff about other features that could imply Danny is another cryptid

They go back and forth speaking absolute nonsense from the publics POV, aliens having glowing eyes, zombies need to stay cool to keep their skin from rotting, they eat people, hence Danny wishing to soupify people. They argue about all sorts of details to the delight and amusement of everyone

Danny and tuck are loving this

The Viewers

Danny and Tucker move in together for college in Gotham

Tucker decided to make tiktoks just for fun, he could teach people about technology and help give tips.

He didn't realize that his viewers could see Danny in the background in some clips.

Danny being Danny was never caught doing something normal instead it was always something weird.

~

Tucker: "So you just switch this piece here-"

Danny in the background more than half his body in the fridge, the fridge is very noticeably growling

Tucker who is so used to it, it doesn't even register in his mind that it's not normal.

~

Tucker fan-boying about the new Wayne tech

His viewers looking behind him at Danny

Danny running around fighting his food which is also growling & flying

~

Tucker modifying his tech for the viewers

Danny's voice in the distance: "Bye Tuck, I need to go soup this guy real quick!"

Viewers: "Cannibalism?!"

~

Tucker: "Ah yes a very normal video!"

His viewers watching Danny:

Just an Idea

Sneaking Away⎮Ink Drinker Modern Vikings AU NSFW Blurb [Ivar x F!Reader]

☞ find more Ink Drinker here

Author’s Note: We’re back with another small blurb about being on vacation with the Lothbrok boys, but unable to have Ivar the way that you want. The divider is by @firefly-graphics​

Content Warning(s): This is just pure smut, I swear. Lots of fucking, oral (both male and female receiving), spanking, sex against a wall...

Word Count: 2300 words

The sounds of conversation finally die down in the adjacent room, as you curl the covers back to your chin and try to relish in the silence. But the bed is cold and you’re tired of pretending you’re lonely around the one person who makes you feel alive. A creak in the door stills you and you stir, watching the figure walk through the darkness before the sheets are back around you.

“Ivar?” You whisper.

“What are you still doing up? It’s almost three in the morning,” He rasps back.

“I am going to ask you the same question,” You challenge.

“Tucking you in,” Ivar answers back, words that are firm, as if it’s not out of the ordinary, and as if you know. “Everyone else is passed out,” He adds before you feel his lips on your hairline. “Miss you, baby,”

“Miss you too,” You peep and then he’s gone.

*

When you swing the door back Ivar’s there, eyes boring through your bare skin and you don’t even think before you pull him towards you. A towering man stumbling with all limbs and no grace before you latch on to him, crashing your mouth to his. A sinful moan slithers from where it was trapped in Ivar’s chest, his hands finding your hair before his tongue slips to cross yours as a bridge. 

When your spine hits the dusted beige wall, Ivar’s there to pin you against it, your hands fumbling clumsily as you try to unlock his belt. Swatting your hands away, Ivar’s fingers take up the journey while he instead feels your hands tangle into his hair.

“I think it’s only fair that because it’s been five days, we have sex five times,” Ivar mumbles, trying to pull his mouth away to speak but your lips follow him.

“Just fuck me,” You all but snap back and the tone drips with a sense of challenge. Ivar’s belt clatters against the floor and you’re pushed further, eyes watching his as his body pins you back against the plain. 

“Watch your tone,” Ivar hums as the tip of his nose trails your cheek. “I know it’s the default, but they’re not here right now,” He whispers breath fanning against your ear, and you nod. Bunching the fabric of his shirt you feel his knee nudge between yours, dropping your thighs to spread out of memory before his eyes trail back between your bodies. 

The warmth of his hands wisps against the back of your thighs and you’re lifted, moaning before he’s offered you any real pleasure as you witness the strength this man possesses when he needs it. With his forehead pressed against yours, his cock sinks slowly between the two of you, pushing you back towards the wall as your hips meet. Your eyes flutter suddenly, the spread of your walls ringing delicious pleasure through your whole spine before you moan softly.

“That’s a better tone,” Ivar rasps, hands on your thighs and you feel the barest thrust, the head of his cock brushing your sweet spot despite the man’s hardly evident movements. Tipping your head back, azure eyes study your features contouring, lazy rolls of his own hips as your breathing picks up. Your mind falling blank, numbing you completely and Ivar can feel your nails in his shoulder.

“Just like that,” You whisper as Ivar’s lips seal that promise to your tongue. 

“Look at me,” Ivar rasps and you obey, lids parting as you catch the inky blackness of his pupils spreading, the obscene noises of your cunt meeting your ears and you can only nod in response. 

Blue eyes flick down to your lips, trailing over the blush that reddens your cheeks as sweat collects between where his skin laps yours. A rumble through his biceps alludes you to how close he’s come, your release pinning you against him and you can’t find the words to tell him. Trapped on your lips and Ivar watches your mouth drop suddenly, eyes closing as he watches you. Without even having to tell him your plea, his hips snap suddenly, pushing you over the ledge as he fucks you, the pressure from his pelvis rubbing your sensitive spot and he only groans when he feels the grip on his length fall even tighter.

“Where?” Ivar says quickly and you shudder for a moment, remembering in the rush of needing to feel him, you neglect the safety net he’s always quick to grab. “Baby—where?”

“Mouth,” You peep, and Ivar stills, fighting off his end when his hands slowly release you. Your limbs ooze like jelly, falling to your knees much more easily with a bounce in his cock when he’s free. 

You flick your eyes up to him before your tongue trails, tasting yourself on his shaft with the salt from the pre-cum, and Ivar’s hands are quick to hit the wall. A thud through your ears as your lips suckle his tip, his head tipping forwards as chestnut locks spill around his face.

Wrapping your hand around his base, pulling Ivar towards you, stroking him in a faster manner than he was fucking you, and nearly tugging his orgasm free, you hear him groan, your name hot on his tongue and his words falter, mother tongue coming out as his brain short circuits. You only offer him a hum, sending vibrations around his cock and you feel him buck suddenly, left hand dropping from the wall to push your head against him. Your throat convulses, trying in warning of the overwhelming sensation before Ivar’s fingers tangle into your hair. After another groan, suddenly his hand yanks you back, giving you relief. Ivar’s eyes catch yours when you peek up at him, keeping him locked in your sights before you slip him onto your tongue. His hand is there again, holding you still and your nails sink into his thighs as you feel them rumble, sloppy flicks of his middle with his tip poking the back of your throat before he’s slipping back, grabbing his cock as your tongue flattens. And he doesn’t even have to offer himself any help, only squeezing his shaft as the ropes glide onto your tongue, his taste dripping down into the back of your throat.

Ivar’s panting fills the room as you shift, standing slowly and watching the man before you melt at the aftershocks of his orgasm. Your hands roam his chest, caressing his neck and his cheeks before you push through your toes to find his lips. Ivar’s hands drop, tightening around your back with a lazy battle through your tongues, tasting his own spunk and he hums into your mouth. Dancing your nails down his torso, you pull the shirt slowly, helping him peel it off of himself before his mouth is back against yours. Your eyes catch sight of the ink, the bruise on his abdomen from the drunken hit with the eight ball he was gifted the prior night from Ubbe. And their laughter rings in your head as you recall only shaking yours, knowing that these four men are no better than an entire class of preschoolers.

Stepping out of his pants, you pull back from Ivar, lacing your fingers with his as you walk him towards the bed, his eyes trailing your naked back and his hand can’t resist its trek to spanking your ass. Your feet stop short and Ivar watches your skin as you wait for him to repeat the sensation. A giggle passes through your lips as he does, as you climb onto all fours on the bed and he’s only there to pull you back. Ivar’s snicker meets yours as his palms catch your chest, one dropping to stroke through your folds and your head drops against the obnoxious floral bedding. The moan that rings from Ivar’s chest when he feels how wet you still are makes your walls clench freely, his own prick already back to hardening.

“Tell me you brought condoms,” Ivar says from behind you, lips by your ear before they peck your shoulder, moving slowly across your back before they dip down to follow your spine. “Baby…” Ivar hums again when you negate to answer as his lips stop on your tail bone and you nod. Even though he’s not paying attention to your head as his hands pull your thighs apart, his tongue tracing your slit from behind before another sweet moan dances musically through his ears. 

Nipping across your backside, Ivar trails his tongue to enter you, sounds ricocheting as he laps at you. Digging your fingers into the bedding, words fail you and you’re moaning instead, trying to wiggle from the bliss with the same effort you’re using to rock against his face.

“In my bag,” You finally manage to say. Ivar’s tongue slows its journey, humming behind you as his hands slide your curves once more. 

You feel his warmth leave you suddenly as he moves, pulling your bag off of the floor in search of the rubber. Another smack to your backside calls you to the present as you hear the foil open, Ivar alternating his hands between rolling it onto his shaft, and snapping his palm against your ass. Jutting you up the bed and your ass is starting to ache, and he can tell as you shift your hips while he smirks to himself before toying the tip of his cock through your folds. 

Another moan drips from your lips, waiting for the first pierce of his length to part you, and you dig your fingers into the bedding. Instead, Ivar slowly pushes his hips, pressing his cock at an agonizing pace and you feel every inch of his manhood as it sinks into you. A hearty moan climbs from his chest, his torso coming to cover your backside, and Ivar thrusts slowly. Moving his hand to find yours as the giant paws cover you, hardly evident movements of him fucking you still making you whimper. 

“Gods you feel amazing,” Ivar’s voice rasps from around you, his cheek laying against the curve of your skull.

“Ivar…” You whine as he moves. “You’re so deep,” You say and it only makes Ivar’s hips stutter, rocking you and the headboard knocks back from the wall. The bed calls your body closer, knees locking, but Ivar moves quickly, snapping into your heat, and a scream of his name tears through your lips. 

“Give it to me,” Ivar grunts, his arm moving to grip around your waist, holding you up as his hips do not cease. Moaning his name, you feel the wave dance from your toes and the knot in your stomach starts to coil rapidly. Spreading through your skin as Ivar moans from above you and you feel his opposite hand melt with yours, squeezing the sheets before the bliss finally grabs you. Juices leech from within you as Ivar’s hips snap, suddenly stopping right alongside you, that arm pulling you in his favor as he empties into the condom. 

You don’t have the mercy to hold him up and you drop, bringing him with you and Ivar only groans in contentment when he lays over you. Inhaling your sent, Ivar slowly moves his arms, curling his biceps closer to you and you relish in the weight he pins you down with. The blanket of safety and you could sleep the rest of the day away in such a state.

“Where did you tell them you went?” Your voice comes.

“Where do you think, baby?”

“Art shop?” And you feel Ivar nod.

“But the one that’s a forty-five-minute drive from the cabin,” Ivar tells you. “What did you say?”

“I told Hvitserk I was sick of him and I wanted the afternoon to myself,” You answer. “Almost felt like kicking a puppy,” And Ivar laughs at that. “Don’t move yet,” You then peep when Ivar shifts, pushing himself up through his arms before his lips meet your shoulder again.

“Let me take the condom off,” He rasps, a chill from the air coming to crawl onto your skin and you slowly start to move. Your eyes catch sight of the man stepping back into his boxers before his eyes meet yours. You can’t stop the smile that spreads through your lips before your own bottoms are in your grasp and when you reach for your bag, Ivar makes an estranged noise of disapproval. “The bed,” He says, pointing to the covers. 

You smirk, climbing into the sheets and Ivar’s there in an instant, pulling you against him as your cheek rests on his chest. When his arms encompass you, you reach up to trail your knuckles against the scruff of his sideburns and you watch another smile tug at his lips.

“Just let me hold you for half an hour,” Ivar’s voice comes. You turn in response to his words, rolling onto your side and Ivar follows suit, latching his arms around you before he feels you take his hand between yours, kissing the knuckles and Ivar settles with you.

“I’m calling in sick on Monday,” You tell him. “I think you’re going to be sick, too,” You add, hearing his laugh tangle through your hair. 

“Does your throat hurt?” Ivar teases and you giggle, feeling him pull you closer even though there’s no more room.

“It’s a little tender,” 

“How much do I owe you for the hotel room?” Ivar asks.

“A few more orgasms,”

“I’m serious, let me at least pay for half of it,” Ivar rasps.

“You can take me out to dinner,” You hum, walking your fingertips up his forearm while Ivar’s lips crease into a smile.

“Yes, yes I can,” He hums. “But you do realize you’re still getting orgasms, too, right?”
