#GAH it was such a LONG CASE

[starleska]

Omg I've been wanting to ask you if you've seen Heretic! I became obsessed as soon as I saw it, recommending it to all my friends like a missionary 😅 I've seen it twice and it gives you so much to think about; the three main performances are brilliant, the story is unpredictable and the psychological horror is so well done! Sister Paxton is also one of my new favourite characters from anything; I just think she's wonderful. I have so many thoughts I should probably make my own post b/c I could go on and on 😅

On a more superficial note, I must ask... Do you have a crush on Mr Reed? (Should I be embarrassed to admit that it's the first time I've ever found Hugh Grant hot, after a lifetime of having no opinion on him and barely registering his presence in films? I feel like I've finally awoken)

hell YEAHHHH all the love for Heretic, i was completely blown away!!!! what a masterpiece of a movie, holy shit - i couldn't agree with you more. Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher AND Chloe East all gave such tremendous performances - those first thirty minutes were some of the most tense and uncomfortable exchanges i've ever seen!!! so tightly written and had as many twists and turns as Mr Reed's fortress-like home...you keep on recommending this movie to everyone, i certainly will be too 🙈💖 BEFORE I GO INTO SPOILERS AND HEAVY RELIGIOUS/ATHEISTIC/PERSONAL DISCUSSION UNDER THE CUT: although i am not presently blorboing Mr Reed, my partner is down so astronomically bad i thought they were going to explode in the theatre 😂💖 i totally understand where y'all are coming from, and if spreading the 'gorgeous old man Hugh Grant appeals to your religious trauma and daddy kinks at the same time' propaganda, then so be it!!! here, hot grandpa be upon ye!! (come back to me in 3-5 business days, maybe my opinion will have evolved 😉)

so for context: when i was a child, like. ages 7-14, i was a militant atheist. i was raised in a very lax Christian household, but i fell down the rabbit hole of Richard Dawkins-esque 'reasonable' takes on religion via books and online circles that i equated with being intellectually superior. in retrospect i'm horrified by what a nasty, ignorant person it made me, and am very lucky to have had good religious figures in my life to gently ease me out of that (ironically) cult-like mentality. i'd argue that atheism, theism, theological debates and scientific ideas about the nature of reality constituted a special interest for me for a good chunk of my life...so this movie really scratched a long-forgotten itch 🙈🙈🙈 the thing about Heretic was how equal its messaging was. going in, you'd assume Mr Reed could've been some spurned apostate punishing missionaries for daring to have unshaken, unproven faith. but instead, we see something else: Mr Reed, Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton battling and even collaborating in trying to discover the truth of their respective (including lack of) faiths. that final scene with Sister Paxton hallucinating the butterfly rammed it home: does it really matter whether religion is correct or not? isn't it enough that faith provides comfort and meaning, even if we're wrong when we leave this mortal coil? i think as an ex-militant atheist i find Mr Reed horribly relatable. the way he made himself into this self-styled god by deeming 'control' to be the structure of all religion and using it to act on his own selfish desires reminds me so much of the figureheads of the atheism movement...i know that Heretic was in part inspired by Contact (1997), based on the book by Carl Sagan, which explores the implications for humanity if we made contact with extraterrestial life. the scientific language which people in the atheism community used to dress up intolerance and personal biases is just as flawed as the religion they were criticising. Mr Reed dazzles as an "intellectual", but he's no more informed than either of the Sisters. the way this movie skilfully portrays all parties as reasonable, informed, relatable people all trying to seek meaning is magnificent. it would have been so easy to make either side into a scapegoat: to make an anti-religious movie, or an anti-atheism movie, or even to turn around and call us all idiots for thinking about religion, but it doesn't. it leaves us with this off-kilter but honest message: we don't know, and that's okay, as long as it matters to you. that's why i agree with you on Sister Paxton being such an amazing character: regardless of Mr Reed's theories (or hypotheses 😉) he was unable to subjugate her. what a fucking champ

Genuinely think "Leo is NOT Glokta 2.0" is the hill I'm willing to die on in the First Law fandom.

And like, I am also willing to admit I could be wrong about this, if Abercrombie decides to literally turn Leo into Glokta, like some people suggest, then fine. I shall eat my words with grace. But I don't think he will and I certainly don't think he should.

I think it's so cheap and easy to look at Leo's disabilities, to read the line about stairs (having to go down sideways) and "click, tap, grunt" and draw those comparisons to Glokta, but if you think about it for two seconds the differences between them are stark and nigh insurmountable (not gonna go over it tbh, it's a whole separate post).

Worse is people who say "well, he obviously can't physically fight anymore, so he can't be a warrior". It's that same thing as annoyingly interpreting "strong female characters" as "women who fight". Someone who is in hospital fighting for their life is a warrior. Someone who stands up against oppression is a warrior. You don't need to physically swing a sword to be called a warrior, because it's a state of mind rather than an objective truth.

I also find the 'warrior' vs 'thinker' dichotomy as it's presented in the series interesting because it's sort of gendered in that warriors are considered to be strong men while thinkers tend to be weak and feminine. Ever since the Heroes, the term "warrior" comes with a whole ton of toxic baggage about manliness and respect - Stour, Scale, Leo, Gorst. "Thinkers" tend to be more representative of marginalised groups or odd ducks - Finree, Glokta, Calder. So when people call Leo a thinker, to me it strips him off his entrenched beliefs about masculinity, as if gender doesn't matters to his character, as if it's purely an analysis of their approach to problem solving rather than a worldview that has a knock-on effect into every aspect of their lives. Likewise, it uncouples his bigotry from that warrior mindset, when his bigotry, in turn, is turn a symptom of his ignorance and desire to see the world in oversimplified black and white terms. Thinkers don't think like that. In fact, I think Leo almost has to be a warrior purely on that basis. Not to say Glokta and Calder are perfect social justice warriors by any means - they're both sexist as fuck - but their bigotry is not indelibly linked to their identity the way Leo's is. If Leo isn't obsessing/angsting over his manly status - of which being a warrior is a massive part - he's not Leo.

He also doesn't want to be smart. Leo repeatedly ignores facts and rationality in order to feel more passion and anger. He enjoys pain to a certain extent, he experiences the world through physical sensations. He's at his happiest when everything is very simple and he doesn't have to think - yes, even in TWOC!

On a different note, get a similar feeling about the Leo/Glokta comparisons as I do when people cite TBI's "Questions" as their favourite chapter in the whole series. Questions, as in the third chapter in the first book in a 10 book series? If that's your favourite you're essentially saying it's all downhill from there, and if that's the case then the series must've been pretty damn disappointing.

Likewise, as much as I like Glokta I think this desire people have for Leo to literally become him betrays Abercrombie's progress as an author. My gripe with TWOC is that it's too Glokta-centric, I wanted Abercrombie to let the new characters shine but I think ultimately he leaned too heavily into reiterating LAOK that it took away from the brilliance of the new characters & plot. Add to that the fact that the contingent of hardcore first trilogy stans are desperate to find something good to say about the new trilogy, people reach for Glokta comparisons because it makes the incredibly hateable Leo more palatable, and it makes them like AoM more. I'm sure that's quite assumptive, not everyone thinks that, but that's just how it comes across to little old, cantankerous, Leo-obsessed me a lot of the time.

𝘿𝘼𝙔 𝙏𝙃𝙍𝙀𝙀: Threesome w/ Spencer Reid [ft. Elle Greenaway]

a/n: OKAYYY this is my first time writing for elle so please have mercy on me!! this fic is unbelievably dirty and i disappeared into my hole a time or two before finishing it, so enjoy!

masterlist | kinktober masterlist | AO3

She’s watching, she’s always watching.

Spencer’s eating you out with abandon with his eyes squeezed shut, though his naked lower half is grinding desperately against the hotel bed sheets below him.

You can’t find it within yourself to warn him, to tell him that Elle hadn’t given him permission to get himself off just yet.

You were only supposed to be exchanging ideas about the case together in her hotel room, but this… this is just something that the three of you do sometimes, but never, ever during a case.

You can tell that she was frustrated as she looked between you and the boy genius that screamed the need for control, because she didn’t like being clueless, didn’t like not being able to step in when she wanted. So, why not control the two people who are more than willing to have sex with each other?

One of Spencer’s long, veiny hands were intertwined with yours, the other two fingers deep and scraping against your g-spot.

“Mmf – gah!” You cried out, back arching.

“Spencer.” Elle says in warning, her eyes locked on where his hips are gyrating on the bed. 

Spencer’s mouth disconnects from you, and he rests his cheek on the inside of your full thigh, huffing and desperately trying to take in air. His fingers don’t stop moving, but he squeezes his eyes closed in an attempt to stop him.

“‘M sorry, ‘m sorry. ‘M just so hard…” His words trail off into a whine and you take pity on him, threading your fingers through his hair in support.

Elle watches for a moment before it looks like she makes a decision.

“Get up. She’s gonna ride you.”

Your body heats up at the fact that she’s talking about you like you aren’t there, but Spencer is quick to slip out of your hold, the man being sweet enough to grip you by your hands to help rearrange both of your bodies until you’re sat on top of him.

You grip his cock, eager to sit down on him before Elle goes, “Stop.”

You freeze and throw a desperate eye over your shoulder.

She’s stripping herself out of her t-shirt and jeans, leaving behind her matching black lace set. If you didn’t know her any better, you would think that she planned this. That’s the thing about your dom, she was always such a wild card.

“I’m gonna guide you and set the pace, and if you go any faster than I told you two, you both aren’t cumming at all.”

Your eyes quickly find Spencer’s and the look that you send him is pleading, because you know how needy he gets when he’s wired up, and the both of you have been edged for the past hour; you were to be eaten out without orgasming, and that went the same for him.

“Yes, Mistress.” Was Spence’s breathless reply, and you sent him a small, thankful smile.

She clambers onto the bed, a beautifully manicured hand landing on your hand, the other gripping Spencer’s dick cruelly. 

A loud whimper resonates around the room, and you trail your hands down his soft yet lean chest, a soothing gesture. She slowly lowers your body down onto him, his hardness breaching your entrance. 

You can feel every pulsing vein and ridge as he finally bottoms out, a long moan forces its way from your throat. Elle trails her lips up the side of your neck, and her other hand holds your free hip now, both of them settled on you.

“How does it feel?” She murmurs into the shell of your ear, and you shiver. “Good…” You mewl, back arching, “So good.”

“You hear that, Spence? She thinks you feel good. What do you say?”

“Th…” He gulps. “Thank you.”

She hums. “Good boy.”

Elle lifts your hips up once more and you follow her, the drag slow and merciful and you cry out on when you’re dropped back down, the tip of Spencer’s cock jabbing at your g-spot.

Spencer’s strained moan resounds from below you, his teeth clenched and hands gripping at the fat of your waist, right above hers.

“Move your hips to meet me.” She commands, and he follows.

The pace is wonky at first before a steady rhythm is established. She’s basically making you ride him, and all you could do is take it, head falling forward.

“Mistress, can I kiss him please?” You whine, eyes locked and his.

“Mm.” She hums, teasing for a moment. “Sure.” When she says so, she pushes you down by your shoulder, so you and Spencer are chest-to-chest.

You lock lips, but she sets harder thrusts that steal your breath away, practically punching sounds out of the both of you as you whimper into each other's mouths.

“Are any of you close?” She questions.

You feel Spencer nod, dislodging your kissing. “Yes, yes! ‘M close.”

She calls your name, and you crane your neck the best as you can to look at her. “Are you close?” 

“Yeah.” The words are small and meek but they’re there, and you’re falling so quickly into subspace that all you can do is trust her to get you where you need to be. “Rub her clit, Spence, and when she cums, then you can.”

He’s quick to move, reaching between your squished bodies to rub at your lower half, the woman never stopping the movement between the two of you. 

With every jab at your g-spot mixed with his bony fingers rubbing at you, you feel that familiar tightening of your gut before you call out, “Cumming!” As your warning. 

You rest your head on Spencer’s shoulder as Elle assists the genius with reaching his end with your pussy. You hear a loud, pornographic moan resound throughout the room combined with the sound of wet slapping, before your insides feel warm with his release.

You all stop and pause, both of your chests rising and falling with exertion.

“You guys did so well.” Elle praises, dragging her hand down your spine. “Are you okay?” She asks. “Mhm.” The two of you hum. 

“What about you?” Spencer rumbles from below you. “I’m fine.” She waves away his question.

“This was enough.”

This Week in BL - Meaty Post Since It's All You're Getting for a Bit

Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

*** This blog will be on mini hiatus for most of May 2025. Not dead just busy. You'll be fine without me. Don't burn down this hellsite anymore than normal while I'm away.

April 2025 Week 4

Ongoing Series - Thai

My Stubborn (Sun iQIYI) ep 1-2 of 10 - Mflow's latest high heat office romance involves best friend's younger brother, boss meets intern, bit of a love triangle, GL crumbs, and few other tropes.

It's... raunchy.  And it's giving me Deep Night vibrations. So to speak. Similarly cringe but still fun to have on our screen. I don't mind a "teach me daddy" trope. The leads are serving up BossNoeul in LITA and the other pairs seem decent too. It’s messy gay but it’s low stakes high melodrama soap opera messy gay so I guess I'm okay with that style. Shall we call this "sloppy gay"?

I'm not mad about it.  

The BangkokBoy (Thai Sat Gaga) ep 1 of 12 - Action, crime, and revenge meets gangs, street fights, mafia, and more. Oh my. Intriguing premise. Not a bad beginning in terms of acting and family strife set-up. The terrible dubbing is sending me. The terrible fight scenes are sending me even further. They better give us some BL within the next two episodes or I don’t know if I can take this level try-hard.

Sweet Tooth Good Dentist (Fri iQIYI) ep 5 of 12 - I am so happy to have Jimmy back on my screen. I can’t even tell you. No additional thoughts, only Jimmy in glasses.

Top Form (Thurs WeTV) ep 6 of 10 - this time I reminded myself going in that this is based on Japanese IP. But I still couldn't take it. I fast-forwarded through most of this ep. I knew it was coming but I still couldn’t stomach it.

Akin better get everything tested. And some counseling.

Boys in Love (Sun iQIYI ) ep 1-2 of 12 - Our only true high school BL from GMMTV this year and it's fresh faces for the youths and old favs for the teachers. I want to like this (and be surprised by it) as much as My School President in 2023 but so far that is definitely not the case. I do love the teachers (shocker) and I like the sides but I’m not sold on the main couple. With a kiss already in ep 2 the pacing is off. If this were Japan I would 't be worried, but this is GMMTV messing with the formula and that could be rough for all of us.

Side note... how does Papong look so daddy in Not Me and do damn ingenue here? Best chameleon in GMMTV's stable? I think so. 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Heesu in Class 2 (Korea Fri Viki) eps 9-10 end - omg they are ridiculously cute dancing round each other. Please just kiss! Bah, this did take too long to resolve. I was worried about that.

The people (aka me) want more BL in our BL! Rah rah rah.

I also wanted more Heesu advising others and less of the hets hetting about the place. Sad we got not kiss but also no time to develop it.

Conclusion

What started out with a great core concept (KBL version of Sex Education) rather lost its way getting mired in the slowest of slow burns which effectively turned the BL storyline into a sub plot for multiple het dramas should have just added flavor. The acting was sweet all round, and sincere, and the lead character of Heesu very engaging. There was even some chemistry with his love interest, rare from Korea. The extra length (so rare in KBL) turned out to be just enough for them to hang themselves with. Should we be shocked that Korea didn't have enough faith in the queer romance thread? No, but I had hoped for better. This was almost great but missed the mark by simply not being gay enough. 7/10 

I will add the handling of the coming out sequence was... deft.

I think I need to go rewatch Light On Me.

Business as Usual (Korea Thurs Viki) Ep 4 of 6 - Gah this is so sad. They like each other so much and made such stupid mistakes! i guess Jin Hwan won't let it stick? Honestly I'm kinda glad this is a short one.

Something Is Not Right (Korea Weds Viki) ep 2 of 8 - The library scene made me laugh.  Every single on of them is such a drama queen. It's awfully angsty but i like it. 

Fight for You (Taiwan Fri Gaga) ep 6 of 12 - Oh this is getting kinda good. That fantasy was lovely. The rest of the story is rough. But the chemistry is great.

Exclusive Love (Taiwan Fri Gaga) ep 12 end - Pretty much just a wrap up episode with lots of sex and a double wedding (never a good idea). But all of it was very pretty. 

Summary 

Taiwan gave us this weird premise of funeral home + mafia + secrets, yet somehow no excitement or real tension because they then slapped it with a pathetic excuse for a plot. Everybody in it was pretty, but the chemistry really wasn’t what I’ve grown to expect from Taiwan. The suits were nice, i guess? Ultimately, given the initial concept, this is remarkably forgettable. 6/10 

It's airing but......

Sashes and Hearts (Pinoy YT) 13 eps - Philippines is doing Drop Dead Gorgeous only all gay boys queening their asses off. Doesn't interest me, not sure if it's BL.

Last Meal Universe (Thai ????) 8 eps - An alien who has come to destroy earth instead falls in love with Thai food and then the Thai boy who cooks it - realistic, actually. I got a link to watch but it still wouldn't work for me, so I guess I'm waiting to see what happens.

Lost in the Woods (Weds Gaga) 7 eps - Not my thing, dropped at ep 2.

Secret Ghost (Thai Sat Viu) ?? eps - The trailer dropped and it looks so bad.

My Golden Blood (Weds iQIYI) 12 eps - dropped at ep 5. Recent thought process as follows: Oh, I think I would have loved this if it were OffGun.

What a thing for me to think.

Still, I'm not wrong.

The Rewatch BLigade!

Jazz for 2. I wasn't sure about this when it aired and I'm still not sure about it. I think I like it. But how much do I like it?

Cherry Magic Thailand. Still very enjoyable but there are more slow and lagging episodes than I remember. Lots of fast forwarding through the slow bits. But TayNew still deliver like only they can. Now I kinda wanna do a Deep Blue Kiss rewatch.

Wandee Goodday. I fast forwarded through everything that wasn't YakDee on screen together. Solid choice. I love them so much, and I suspect they might be the healthiest sexual relationship we have ever seen depicted in a BL. (On Viki these days)

Unintentional Love Story. Yeah a regular rewatch for me. I put it on to check something, and then just ended up running through the whole series. Will I ever recover from Gongchan's eyes? Not in this lifetime.

Your Sky. Yeah I finished the 3 ep special and then immediately rewatched the whole darn show. This is my 3rd or 4th time. I love it, totally my type of so bad it's good, so sweet it hurts, BL pulp. I don't ask for much from my BL. This show gave me exactly that much and no more.

Mr X & I - Us Against The World. One of those obscure shorts I love, this one from China pre 2016 crack down. Yep. Still love.

I'll be doing a ton of rewatching over the next month because of all my travel. Wish me luck!

Next Week Looks Like This:

Coming in May

5/2 Pit Babe The Series 2 (Thai Fri iQIYI) 13 eps - More conspiracy and struggles and past coming out to play but even less omegaverse.

5/3 The Next Prince (Thai Sat iQIYI) 14 eps - Hotly anticipated 3 yr production featuring ZeeNewNu in a fantasy/historical set in a palace where Zee plays a knight and Nu a prince fighting for his right it inherit. Plus Jimmy with a new partner. Should be pretty and hot if nothing else.

5/16 Knockout (Thai Fri WeTV ) 12 eps - A low quality less fun/funny version of Wandee Goodday?

5/19 I Promise I Will Come Back (Thai Mon WeTV) 10 eps - A Thai Taiwanese colab. Stars two Thai actors and Taiwanese identical twins from H3. However the lead and co-producer Tontae is actually a very good actor, so this could be good unless it's oen of those mostly intended to be a tourism advert for the Thai countryside. We shall see!

5/16 My Sweetheart Jom (Thai Fri YouTube) 12 eps - I admit I wasn't sold on this one from the trailer but Saint is back and I'm disposed to be intrigued by the kind of script that would pull hm in. But it is certainly not my kind of script.

May? Season of Love in Shimane AKA Ai no Kisetsu: The Season of Love (Thai) - Sequel to Kiseki Chapter 2 which I intensely disliked, must we?

May ? Sweetheart Service (Korea Gaga) - Strongberry is back with a fake dating trope?! After being pressured by his family to get married, Min U proposes to Yu Ha to pretend to be his fiancé. As they spend time together, feelings begin to develop between them.

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ coffee order (jake peralta x fem! reader)

summary : you have a complicated coffee order that no one can remember, and out of all people jake begins to perfect it, creating suspicion in the office.

“i’ll have a venti iced vanilla latte with oat milk, please. can you use ristretto shots and a little extra vanilla syrup? if you can add just a bit of cold foam on top, that’d be great. thank you so much!", you spoke to the barista. the squad was shocked at your request. “how the hell do you remember that!?”, terry exclaimed in a high pitched tone.

———

“i’m doing a coffee run, tell me your orders people!”, charles announced. people began calling out their orders whilst charles wrote them down. everyone’s eyes turned to you. “uhh ill have my usual?”, you said. “no one can remember that but i’ll try.”, charles responded. “venti iced vanilla latte with oat milk. can you use ristretto shots with a little extra vanilla syrup and a bit of cold foam on the top.” you casually spoke. “venti iced vanilla latte with.. yeah im lost”, charles spoke, “message me it?”, he questioned and with a simple nod from you he was off.

———

you and jake were out on your third date. keeping it a secret from the squad, especially from a probing gina who constantly wanted the love life gossip, was hard to say the least. however, the small details made it so obvious that you and jake were seeing each other. the long stares accompanied by little smiles, the way your hands would linger for a second too long for ‘just close co-workers’ when they’d come in contact, the way you would softly smile when the other was brought up. the small things.

you were sitting in a cafe with your hands intertwined with each other under the table. a waitress came over to your table, “are you guys ready to order?”, she questioned. “yes! i will have a chocolate shake while the lady will get a venti iced vanilla latte with oat milk using ristretto shots with a little extra vanilla syrup and a bit of cold foam on the top. thank you!”, jake spoke. he remembered your order?

as the waitress left, jakes eyes met yours. you looked head over heels in love with him bringing a shy smile and chuckle out of him. “you remembered my order?”, you asked. “of course!”, he answered as if it was the silliest question in the world. “you’re so sweet jake.”, drawing another shy smile from him. you leant over the table and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. a blush creeping up on both of your cheeks at the action.

———

it was the crack of dawn on monday morning, everyone called in early due to an important case. everyone was exhausted and gloomy. so jake, wanting to brighten the mood a bit, was going on a surprise coffee run. he got everyone’s usual and brought them back to the office excited for everyone’s reaction. a murmur of gratitude and elation was bounced off the walls of the office at the sight of coffee.

as everyone was drinking their coffee down, gina noticed that you were drinking a coffee too. surely not right? “hey y/n, did jake get your order right??”, gina called out. “uhh yea why?”, you responded back in puzzlement. dots connected instantly in gina’s head. of course! rosa and charles heads rose with a piqued interest, sharing looks about this theory.

gina ushered you to come with her to god knows where. after ensuring no one was around she whispered, “you and jake are seeing each other!!”. oh shit. your face told her everything. “oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!”, she exclaimed.

authors note : i feel like this is total shit but whateversss! also i could never imagine ordering something like this, please take no offence if you do but oh my gah. hope you enjoyed and as always, requests are oppeeennnn!

Halo, can i request hc (and plus a short story if you had the time) with logical, smart and scientist reader with Burning Spice Cookie. I was thinking their love life is always in chaos (pun intended) instead of being lovely dovely like the other couples, acting more like frenemies after all logic and destruction doesn't mix well in this cause

Cream Oreo Cookie: The Toxic Dynamic Spicy(Pun Intended) 😏

He doesn't know how or why but he likes your attitude you give him whenever you two fight whether its verbally or you just start throwing items at him or just full on start fighting him

He loves annoying the living dough out of you

Everyone of the Spice Swarm is so confused on how your dynamic work but they don't talk about it if they don't want to get crumbled by Burning Spice Cookie

Despite fighting every single day and time you both get to fix it up by the end of the day...

The two of you tried to break it off one time but it didn't end well

You both won't admit that you both missed eachother at that time but Nutmeg Tiger Cookie and Saffron Buffalo Cookie knows so the two have to get you two back together

Because you both compare the other Cookie's or Creatures or other Spice Warms with eachother

Burning Spice Cookie: Please, Even Y/N Cookie can do better than that and they're just a Cookie for The Witch's Sake

Y/N Cookie: GAH! WHY ARE YOU ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS INSTEAD OF JUST DOING WHAT I SAY YOU SHOULD DO! If Burning Spice Cookie was here he would just immediately do it with no questions ask as long as I spar with him

Nutmeg Tiger Cookie: If Y/N Cookie is better than me then why don't you have them to do this instead?

Saffron Buffalo Cookie: Then why don't you ask him to do this for you if you prefer his company?

Burning Spice Cookie & Y/N Cookie: NO, As if I ever go back to a Brute/Weakling like them again

But after some convincing you both eventually got back together thinking how the other was pathetic without the other one which is true for BOTH of your cases and not just one of you

A very smart and intelligent scientist like you was cast out of your kingdom for your illegal use of Potion Making and You just happened was recruited by Burning Spice Cookie to be his...Apprentice he should say...For you to be making him powerful potions that could make the Cookies Suffer as they slowly die in the most horrendous way possible

You we're both made from the Nether and are perfect for eachother!

It's like Chucky and Tiffany's Relationship it's a horrible relationship but you both need eachother

Serena and Calem with a reader who has a bad case of Poképhobia (Fear of pokemon)

(Pokemon X/Y) Serena and Calem with a Reader who is afraid of Pokemon

I was about to say why would anyone be afraid of Pokemon, but then I remembered that Drifloons steal children and drag them to hell, so ya know what? I'd be scared too.

Honestly, Serena has always been surrounded by  Pokémon throughout her entire life. Not to mention how integral they were to everyday life as well.

The thought never even crossed her mind if someone would be afraid of them.

Until she met (Y/N).

Being a trainer herself, Serena felt like that she needed to show them that Pokémon were nothing to fear, and that they could be steadfast friends!

Which led to Serena and (Y/N) standing in a park, with her confidently crossing her arms.

(Serena) "Okay, we can start off small! How about...a Weedle?"

(Y/N) "I-Is it big?! Or scary?!"

(Serena) "The opposite! They're super small and cute! Here, let's bring him out right now!-"

Serena grabbed the Pokéball on her belt and with a click, let the small bug Pokémon pop out into the world.

The Weedle looked around before turning its gaze to (Y/N), causing them to hide behind Serena.

(Y/N) "I-IT'S LOOKING AT ME!"

(Serena) "Well, yeah! He's curious! Here, grab my hand for a sec-"

Though she said that, she grabs (Y/N)'s instead and sits down on the grass, motioning for the Weedle to come closer, making (Y/N) squirm uncomfortably.

And which the Weedle simply wiggled its way closer, the barb on its head shifting closer to (Y/N), though showed no signs of hostility.

Serena chuckled and gently rubbed (Y/N)'s shoulder, a hand motioning outward to the Weedle.

(Serena) "See? Little guy couldn't hurt a-"

Before she was promptly interrupted, hand moving to pet the Pokémon by pure instinct and getting poked by the barb.

(Serena) "GAH! OWOWOW!-"

Causing both of them to stand up straight, Serena out of pain and (Y/N) out of terror.

Pokédex entry: Often found in forests and grasslands. It has a sharp, toxic barb of around two inches on top of its head.

And the attempt to calm (Y/N) down was not helping when her hand was starting to become as pink as the Weedle's nose.

Calem honestly was at a loss for words.

How do you survive this long without getting over your fear of Pokémon?

Whatever, that wasn't important.

What was important was that his friend needed help getting over this fear.

And so, he brought them to a nearby street bench to show (Y/N) that Pokémon weren't all that bad.

And Calem's first choice?

(Calem) "How about...Ah, got it! Plusle!"

(Y/N) "P-Plusle?"

(Calem) "They're these cute little mouse Pokémon! Totally harmless!"

With a swift flick of his wrist, Calem grabbed a Pokéball and it beamed out the Plusle, which bounced around energetically at the sight of her trainer.

While (Y/N) was scared stiff, unable to move when the Plusle stared at them, then looked back to Calem in confusion.

(Calem) "Hey, little buddy! Need ya to show my friend here some of your cheer!"

The Plusle nodded before energetically crying out, bouncing around in a slight rhythm as (Y/N) seemed to calm down somewhat.

(Calem) "See, it's like I said! They're nothing to be-"

Before a nearby telephone pole short circuited as sparks flew out of the Plusle, a small beam of electricity shooting out as the cheering became more hyper.

Prompting (Y/N) to leap in terror, the Plusle mistaking that as a signal to keep dancing!

(Calem) "...Oh crap."

Pokédex entry: It cheers on friends with pom-poms made of sparks. It drains power from telephone poles.

[erinwantstowrite]

bear with me here because i'm gonna ramble about something i've been thinking about for a while... and i'm not complaining, i'm just noticing

sometimes i think we've leaned so far into the vigilante side of the batfam that we miss out on what really makes their characters: detective work. we need more mysteries in their lives that don't lead up to some big bad "we already know who's doing it" or an "end of the world" or "yet again: this fucking guy." we need more stuff where spy movie music plays in the background and dumb adventures that don't lead up to some huge grand event with a big name villain. the shock factor stops being shocking or interesting in any capacity if we're like "Gah! the Joker! ... Again!" or whatever

does that even make sense? like "yeah sure they're blowing up a building again and there's hostages. oh look they're gonna poison the water supply." these aren't bad and that's not what i'm getting at because obviously this is a classic for comics. you need to have characters/antagonists that show up more than once and who can make a story better by being in it. and i did say to bear with me- that's because im tired. so like i hope im getting this across the right way? it's just that sometimes i don't wanna see a huge explosion, i want these motherfuckers solving a regular murder or a disappearance or regular corruption in a local office without it being tied to a grand reveal like "actually this person knows you as a long lost relative" or "they were at that circus can you guess which night they went?" that kind of thing? if you get me? like... more of the small time stuff makes the big stuff important, it makes it stand out more. at some point, the format gets repetitive even if you're switching up the villains. you can make these situations/mysteries still fun to solve for the characters and fun to read for the audience if you do it right

the concept of a detective dressed as a bat and having a sidekick in traffic light colors is inherently goofy as hell??? but that is what is so charming about it??? i think we have lost the balance between them being silly while also being intelligent with important conversations that criticize the world as we see it and teach lessons and can go over dark topics. nowadays it's always end of the world problems or just straight up the most gruesome true crime you can think of?? or they can ONLY do the dark stuff and the criticism without offering a balance of the good in the world. or we keep coming back to the FUCKING JOKER-

like yes they are vigilantes and with that comes a different level of their work, but their brand should be a mix between a black and white detective film that can get very nitty gritty and a classic spy movie, that kind of thing. at the end of the day, it's what makes them so different from the superheroes. that's what appeals to me.

seeing them in the big superhero groups is fun, don't get me wrong. it's always funny to see them standing next to people who are so powerful they never really fit in with anyone but each other, who chose to step up and use their powers for good. the Bats' specialty is Gotham and yet here they are stopping a god or whatever. and they do stop the god or whatever, all the while being an important leader and strategist to their teammates. they're important to have in these cases. but if there's a world ending event every time i pick something up, it's not as fun

the fact that they are so very human and not fantastical is why i like reading them. it's what makes the joke of people, even Gotham citizens, theorizing about them being cryptids, funny. they're fucking weird but that's because they're detectives. people who love to solve mysteries usually have a fatal flaw of curiosity. they forget the bounds between social interactions sometimes because they're used to working through problems or being intertwined with partners that understand them. but they're very much human. so human that it hurts them in many ways. and idk i've just been thinking about it lately and idk what point i'm trying to get across actually

it's just that in my eyes that's how it really is for Batman- a black and white movie narrated by a very serious man who took up a job to help people, one that has a deeper commentary on the world and viewed outwardly as pessimistic but actually has a deep hope for his city and who tries to help even the people who have wronged others. He's a stationary man in the belief that him being a constant can serve to soothe others and help them move forward. He stays in the middle of the path so he can tell everyone what is up ahead. he blends into the Gotham rainy night to serve justice but in a way that saves both the victim and the perpetrator. (the way he tucks a Robin into his cape is the same he does for Gotham with his mere presence.) and his background is actually so important to his story and yet people still somehow gloss over the lesson from it? he lost his parents because of a man who was on the opposite end of the spectrum to where he was in life. and yet he chose to help the people like the man that killed his parents. he could have done anything else with his power and money, but he instead is choosing to bring as many people up with him as he can. He's Mr. Serious that no one else can get a read on. and yet he walks into a room and he's already piecing together your life and what you're going through because he thinks it matters. he comforts people who have lost something or someone or themselves. I picture Batman and I don't picture a man trying to save the world, I picture a detective walking around a crime scene and trying to save at least one person every time he puts on the cape. and he put on the cape and became a vigilante because then he could go out of the bounds of what laws have been set up- and specifically, Gotham has other people in power who are corrupt, keeping the system that way. that's why Batman being a billionare and throwing himself into helping people at the risk of his own life is so important. he knows that if you are alive, you have something or someone to lose, no matter who you are. the dude is a bleeding heart but he doesn't know how to express it, in fear that if he gets too close, if he moves down the path with them, he'll be lost again

and then he's met with someone who should be a complete opposite, but isn't at all, because they're two sides of the same coin. his partner in crime, his son, a boy that is nothing like the black and white world that he sees. and that's the point in his life where he first sees that potentially getting lost is worth the risk. Robin is color and passion that needs guidance to move forward, but can not do so unless the stationary man learns to move with him. the kid is loud and reckless and you'd think he's from a different genre from the detective but they aren't so different, really. not when you look close enough. Dick grew up moving from place to place and seeing the world, knowing so many different people from different cultures. He's been learning to fly and jump and embrace the free fall his entire life. He's clever and he's sharp, and he thrives in the action and adventure. it's that perspective that compliments the stationary man. one is steady and the other pushes. he's the same genre but a different generation. and Batman introducing him to the way of life he chose for himself was another way he could save someone. because let's be real for a second? Dick would have gone down a very dark path had he not had Bruce, who understood, who saw not just himself in the kid but also saw who the kid has been his entire life until now. he saw Dick's parents, he saw the family he had in the circus, he saw the joy he had in what his family was doing. he saw the grief and the fire and the color that Dick's world was made of. because to Bruce, it always matters. Dick had to come to terms with Bruce's perspective to help anyone who they come across, to always give more chances, and it kept Dick from losing his color

what gets me is that the man who lives in the black and white world can actually see many different shades of gray (because black and white always needs the medium), whereas the boy in a world of color and light can get so focused on the bright that he can become single minded. and yet the boy sees a world of color and delves deeper into the lives of the peolle they come across and can be much more open minded, and the man in the black and white world sometimes forgets the shades of grey are right there. they are just like each other. they can exist without the other, but do they want to? because the black and white can be built up into the colored image, like the inking and shadows drawn on a comic book page before the colors are added in. they meet in the middle to complete each other. Bruce has been passing the story over to the next generation for a long, long time, even before his story was complete. and just like with the first Robin, it was so for every Robin afterwards. they each color in the lines differently, but that's what makes Robin so special, so unique. they are an art style that branches into their own life, but can not forget where they started: tucked into Batman's cape and the inky black of his world

and so detective work really frames their hunanity to me. the mysteries they get their hands on, the glimpses into the lives of Gotham citizens that they swore to protect, it's fascinating. it's what makes their story stand out compared to the people who can lift trucks or cast spells or run around the world in seconds. so yeah ig that's what i'm trying to say? that i want to read more of that? in both canon and fanon. cause even the small time villains we see can be like. AWFUL people and it takes out the fun of their gimmicks. and if it were any other day this would be a more coherent post but alas, it is not any other day

Kinktober #13

13. Pregnancy // Aftercare // Roleplay (Wade Wilson x Reader)

“Mr Wilson? I’m ready to see you now.”

You don’t know how he talked you into this. It’s so porno-trope ridiculous. But here you are, dressed in the tight latex of a naughty nurse’s uniform, eyes wide and lips pouted as you lean on your wooden doorframe pretending it’s the entrance to an examination room.

To be fair Wade looks ecstatic. He puts down the copy of Men’s Health he’s been reading onto the coffee table - did he buy a load of magazines for this roleplay? - and stands up. From the moment he laid eyes on you all laced up in costume, he’s been rocking a semi.

It’s kinda flattering that after all this time together you can still have such an effect.

He follows you into the room and hops on the bed, affecting the posture of a sick man, cupping his groin like he’s sprained himself. You suppress an eye roll and take a seat in the ‘cuck chair’ (Wade’s name, not yours).

“What seems to be the problem, Mr Wilson?”

“Well nurse, it’s kinda embarrassing…”

Oh, okay, you’re doing a little bit of humiliation too. You can roll with that.

“I’m a medical professional Mr Wilson, please, it won’t be anything I haven’t heard before.”

He sighs long and hard before looking at you dead in the eyes.

“My penis is broken, nurse.”

You have to bite back a laugh and force yourself to stay in character. 

“Your penis… is broken.”

“I know, it’s terrible. Feels like my manhood has been ripped from me, and not even in a literal sense so I could grow a new one. It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to anyone… I just can’t get hard any more, nurse. I don’t know what to do.”

You go to grab the box of latex gloves the two of you invested in for wound-cleaning and make a show of snapping one on in front of him, before the other accidentally falls to the floor.

“Oops! Aren’t I clumsy…” you sigh, bending over at the waist so the uniform rides up and he can see you’re not wearing any panties. You think you hear him whisper a prayer to an avocado but you can’t be sure. “Anyway, I’ll need to do an examination, Mr Wilson. Can you remove your sweatpants? Underwear too, please.”

He’s never obeyed a command so quickly. It’s kinda cute. When stripped you can tell he’s definitely half-hard, cock bobbing in interest when you inspect him.

“Well it seems like you’re responding pretty well so far… let me try a digital examination…”

You wrap your fingers around him and begin to pump, smiling to yourself as he hardens in your hand. Wade throws his head back and bites his lip, a very pretty sight, breathing laboured and ragged.

“How is this, Mr Wilson?”

“Pre…pretty good, nurse. Seems like you have magic hands. Think I’m not quite cured yet though…”

“Oh, that’s alright, I have an oral technique which helps in cases like these.”

You swallow him down to the hilt with one motion and Wade almost has to stab himself with baby knife so he doesn’t come in your mouth right there and then. Fixing him with a wicked look you start bobbing up and down his length, getting him covered in your spit in just the way he likes. His hand snakes round to the back of your head desperately.

“Nurse - gah - is it against your hippocratic oath if I ask you to bite me, or are we all systems go there?”

Coming off of his dick with a wet pop you go for his thigh teeth-first, sinking them into where the flesh of his leg circles to his asscheek. That’s enough. Wade chokes and comes all over your uniform, and you’re glad the latex is easily wiped clean.

As he falls back in the bed you scribble something on a piece of paper and tuck it in the pocket of his sweatpants. Wade looks up at you from the mattress.

“What’s that?”

“Prescription for a round of cowgirl, to be administered later this evening.”

He lights up like the Fourth of July.

Good Morning, Have a Nice Day

Aventurine x Reader

You told your boyfriend, Aventurine, to wake you up early the next morning. But little did you know...

"-up. Wake up, Sunshine."

In your slumber, you faintly heard a voice. The tone was cheerful, almost rivaling the birds chirping outside the window.

"Mm..."

Is it morning already...?

"Oh, the Sleeping Beauty finally wakes up. Hey, don't go back to sleep."

The voice spoke, as laid-back as ever, as if trying to lull you back to sleep.

But... Why didn't I hear any alarm...?

"If you don't wake up by the count of three, I'll kiss you. One... Two..."

"What time is-GAH!!"

When you opened your eyes, Aventurine's dashing face was hovering a few inches away from you. It was apparent that he'd been watching you the whole time.

Close! Too close!

"Your response to your boyfriend's gentle wake up call is to scream to his face...?"

He sulked, but not for long. Soon, he was smiling from ear to ear again. Was the sight of you waking up that fantastical?

"Good morning~ if you sleep again, the counter will pick up from where it left off."

"...More importantly, what time is it right now?"

Seeing how bright the sun was shining outside the window only gave you bad feelings.

Pretty sure you'd asked him to wake you up at 6 AM. You even set an alarm at 5 AM. After all, your class started at 8 AM.

Aventurine looked slightly dejected for a moment, before answering.

"7.30 AM, why?" he asked as if it was someone else's business.

"7.30 AM!? But... Didn't I... Tell you to wake me up at..." You were so shocked that you could only stutter.

"Well, yes, and I promised to wake you up as early as I could." Aventurine innocently shrugged his shoulders.

As early... As he could?

Somehow, you felt there was a huge emphasis right there. The two of you stared at each other, one dumbfounded, one smiling nonchalantly.

Ah!!! Right!!!

He sucks at getting up early!!!

Actually, both of you were.

If this was a movie, then it was probably the moment when the main character shouted, 'I shouldn't have trusted him!'

Thus, you bolted out of the room and began preparing at the highest speed known to man.

"Aventurine!!"

A few minutes later, you dashed straight toward his room again. By that time, you had showered and dressed for college.

But the moment you stepped in, your jaw almost dropped to the floor.

Aventurine stood there with only a white towel draped over his waist. He'd clearly just stepped out of the shower, as his body glowed with a wet sheen.

Glittering droplets of water clung to his chiseled abs, some trickling down even further below. It took you everything not to follow them with your eyes.

Aventurine, who was drying his hair, finally turned at you.

"What's the matter? It's nothing you haven't seen before."

He cocked an eyebrow at you, a playful and tantalizing grin tugging at his lips.

"Aventurine... Why... What are you doing naked!?" you couldn't help but blurt out.

"Says the one who barged in without knocking. Anyway, need anything?"

Saying that, Aventurine approached you, his broad chest filling your field of vision.

Trying to block the view, you shoved your phone to him.

"I'm here to talk about this! Why did you turn off my alarm!? No wonder it didn't ring!"

"Ah, that... But weren't you tired last night? I just thought of letting you sleep a bit longer. How are you feeling now? Did you rest well?"

Aventurine stared at your phone, not trying to deny or affirm it.

Based on his words alone, he sounded like a caring, attentive boyfriend who was just looking out for his girlfriend.

Except you didn't buy it, because of two glaring contradictions.

"Whose fault is it that I barely got any sleep last night!? Also, if that's the case, you must've either disabled it right after I fell asleep, or woke up way earlier!"

"But in the end, I still woke you up, right?" Aventurine gave you an 'all's well that ends well's' smile.

"What do you mean 'in the end'? Were you planning to not wake me up?"

"In the end, I still did, right?"

"..."

He totally planned to!!

Seriously, why is he acting like this!?

In truth, you knew why. You also knew that underneath his nonchalant and flippant attitude, he was sulking.

As you stood there, fuming, Aventurine asked you, putting the towel around his neck.

"Won't you be staying for breakfast?"

"No. Thanks to someone, I have to skip it."

Despite the hint of wistfulness in his tone, you bluntly turned him down, averting your gaze.

"Then, will you be having lunch with your team leader instead? Say hi to him for me."

Hearing that, you raised your head and shot back.

"We've spoken about this! It's just an obligatory meeting to discuss the assignment progress!"

"One that you set a bunch of alarms and even skipped breakfast for. Totally not important indeed."

... It was because you'd ditched one too many of such meetings, missing the next one would totally get you axed. In your defense, that team leader was a prick.

Of course, there was no way you could admit that you often skip group activities to your boyfriend. Or that karma was finally biting you in the ass. That'd be super lame.

We are getting nowhere fast, and I'm running out of time.

"...A-anyway, I'll get going."

You awkwardly turned around, still trying to maintain a tough front.

"Hey, you forget something."

You turned around. "What is—"

His lips sealed yours, and you were unable to finish your words.

"!!"

Aventurine ferociously devoured your lips, leaving no inch untouched, as if imprinting himself. He nibbled on your upper lips, before gnawing on the lower ones. He allowed you a brief moment of respite to reclaim your breath, before resuming his onslaught from a different angle.

The delicate string that was holding your rationality together was about to snap. You were basically holding onto him at this point.

He stroked your tingly lips with the tip of his tongue, gently parting them. Then, his tongue slid in, coiling around your own.

Just as you thought of surrendering completely to this mind-blowing kiss, he stopped.

"...Aren't you going to be late? Whoops."

Aventurine caught you as you toppled forward, burying you in his chest. Immediately, the refreshing, masculine fragrance of his cologne filled your nose.

Embarrassingly, your legs had turned into jelly.

"Oh no. Can you stand? Should we call in sick?"

Within his arms, you could hear him suggest that a tad too happily.

"...No thanks. I'm still going."

You somehow managed to squeeze out those words despite the supple tenderness around you.

"What a shame. Even though your dear boyfriend is home at last."

He spoke in a deflated tone that you could tell was genuine.

Aventurine was a busy man. His business trip would sometimes last for more than a month. Today, he finally had a day off.

All you could do was stare at him as he wiped a trace of saliva from his lips, smiling provocatively at you

"Oh, well. We can always save it for later. If it gets too unbearable, you can always come back to me. Have a nice day."

The kiss that ended as abruptly as it started was his way of giving you something to think about.

As underhanded as always...

You wanted to wipe that smug look off his face!

You grabbed the towel around his neck, pulling him toward you. Briefly, you saw his eyes widen as he was caught off-guard.

"Mmh-!"

Then, you gave Aventurine the taste of his own medicine, but with your own finishing touch.

After the kiss had ended, Aventurine, seemingly taken aback, reached for his lower lip. A red mark had blossomed on his lip, turning it a deeper shade of crimson.

"...I told you, I'll sneak off in the middle, so please wait for me." You said.

Still tracing his lip, Aventurine stared straight at you, his violet-cyan eyes burning from within.

"...Alright. I'll be patient. But I won't wait for too long."

Extra

...Aventurine's patience lasted only until lunch break.

(Longlost)Bf. Song Mingi | Chubby Reader | (Longlost) Bf. Jeong Yunho

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If not, it was never meant to be.

Yunho’s mind was still tangled in that whirlwind of memories, struggling to keep his cool. I know her, he kept thinking, the words looping in his head like an old song he hadn’t heard in years but could hum every note. Those big, innocent doe eyes and that soft, honey-sweet voice. Was it really her?

“Ahjussi?” A tiny voice tugged at his attention like a polite little yank on his sleeve, and he snapped back to the present moment. His class of kindergartners—all two feet of squirming, giggling energy—were staring at him expectantly. One of his students peered up at him with a curious tilt of the head. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah, you stop talking very fast,” another kid chimed in with an exaggerated nod. “Like you saw something scawy.”

Yunho’s cheeks flared up like he’d been caught doing something embarrassing—like dancing in front of the mirror or losing a thumb war to a five-year-old. He couldn’t help but chuckle, the sound slightly shaky.

As if sensing his mild panic, the other kids jumped in with teasing remarks, little giggles and pokes that turned into an all-out giggling session.

“He’s got a pink face!” one of the kids declared, pointing and grinning as the rest of the children joined in, their laughter echoing around the small café.

Yunho took a deep breath, ruffling his hair with a bashful smile as he tried to play it cool. But his heart? His heart was doing little flip-flops. " Um. Okay." He clapped his hands. "Who wants a chocolate croissant?"

"Me!!!"

...

Princess: Hyung, I saw your missed calls. what's wrong?Are you alright?

Mingi had his ear to his phone throwing his guitar casing over his shoulder while gripping the neck of his guitar dashing off to the kindergarten around the block from the music shop.Mingi pressed his phone tightly against his ear as he slung his guitar case over his shoulder, gripping the neck of the guitar with one hand. He hurried down the street, weaving through the evening crowd, heading toward the kindergarten just around the corner from the music shop.

Yunho had called him three times already and even sent a text that read, "Call back. Slight midlife crisis." Mingi had laughed it off—midlife? Yunho wasn’t even close to middle-aged yet. The thought brought a small grin to his face as he approached the kindergarten doors, only to find them locked. The lights inside were off, and the place was completely silent.

Home? Mingi guessed, turning on his heel and picking up his pace. His long legs were finally useful for something as he made it to Yunho’s front door in record time. There, he found Yunho staring intently at his phone, scrolling through something—probably his passcode. Mingi had seen this habit enough to know it only surfaced when Yunho was upset.

Before Mingi could speak, Yunho fumbled, nearly dropping his phone.

“Gah!” Yunho exclaimed, catching it just in time. His wide eyes flicked up to Mingi, and a sheepish chuckle followed. “Princess, you scared me.”

"What's wassup with the not answering my calls." Mingi huffed, putting his hand on exposed hips, a result of his tattered "Rocker" pants hanging by a thread or a shoelace rather - keeping his pants loosely on hips. " And you locked up the kindergarten early." He sighed, "I didn't even get to say goodnight to the kiddos. " Mingi pouts.

Yunho then smiled softly till it faded completely, his brows soured after hearing beautiful humming that was familiar to his ears. It's you! He didn't give much notice before shaving himself aggressively against the railing to catch a glimpse of you. He knows it's you

His eyes widen over your soft features; you've grown beautifully. The church boy's heart flutters as he recognizes those big doe eyes, cute nose, and chubby cheeks. You look so cuddled and cozy in your winter attire.

A dreamy sigh left Yunho's lips. You grab your keys to open the door when a blonde-haired man approaches you from behind. Yunho's eyes widen at the large man being his boyfriend.

"Mingi! No!" If Yunho's yelling didn't startle you then your feet leaving the sweet ground did.

You gasped struggling against his firm grip. "Ah! You big-!" a powerful donkey kick brought agony as he hiss in pain. A window of opportunity present itself as you manage to struggle yet even in pain his grip was strong.

I’m having a drive-by thought.

Specifically,

How Would the Papas React to Glow-in-the-Dark Condoms

Primo: He’s not impressed by it. You can’t tell if it’s the novelty of the contraception or if it’s because he has to wear one. Make no mistake: Yes. He’ll wear it, though. He’s just going to make sure he stays in you as long as possible so he doesn’t have to look at the thing. (Secretly, he kinda likes the glowing red rubber. He can pretend it’s blood and he’s got a bloody dick, never mind that the type of red is so cartoonish it could never pass for it. He’ll never admit it to you, but the regular condoms will just happen to disappear until you’ve used up all the red ones.)

Secondo: His face is stone cold, offsetting the intended heat of the bedroom. He either bought these in such a hurry that he somehow failed to notice, or he got them as part of a goody bag party favor gifted to attendees of DomConCon. Either way, he wishes you’d stop laughing and cooing at his radioactive schlong. He’ll try and spin it a sexy way, threatening to fuck you stupid so you can’t laugh, but it’s too late. He knows you too well to think it’ll end even if he leaves you thoroughly fucked.

Terzo: “WHOA, HANG ON, HOLY SHIT!!” You either bought them in a hurry or a ghoul grabbed a box on a trip to town for supplies. Whatever the case, Terzo is amazed. He’s swaying his hips, he’s helicopter dicking, he’s making lightsaber noises. He’s making godawful puns and jokes about his “one-eyed, big-horned fucking purple people-meater.” You’re frustrated at first because you’d been dying to have him all day and now everything is getting derailed because he’s inviting you under the covers not to join together as one, but to join together in fun — of looking at how his dick glows in the purple rubber. Pretty, soon, though, you’re laughing it up, too. (Don’t worry, you eventually get to have sweet, giggly sex. Turns out the condoms make for good emotional and mental foreplay.)

Copia: Copia is also caught off guard, but in a slightly less enthused way. “GAH!!” he exclaims in his little Cardi Way as he catches sight of his cotton candy blue cock. Talk about your blue balls! Meanwhile you’re howling, having waited all night to see him react to the contraception you purchased for your night in. Once he calms down, he’s a little marveled by it (“I didn’t even know they made em like this.”) He gives experimental thrusts, he uses those deliciously evil thrusts he does onstage. …And yes, he does lightsaber noises and misquotes Star Wars. He is, after all, related to Terzo. Once all and yourself are said and done, the post-but clarity gets to him and he’s a little shy. He makes sure to cover up the bathroom trash bucket with miscellaneous things so the soft blue glow of the used condom isn’t visible to him, otherwise he’ll blush.

(BONUS/BONE-US)

Nihil: It doesn’t matter if it’s old Nihil or young Nihil: He is amazed. He is Terzo’s father. He is poking at it and jokingly calling it his “Goldmember”. Wait until he hears about the scented condoms —
