Can you do all hashiras when they accidently touch reader's breast?
The Hashira when they accidentally touch your breast
———————————————————————
This was definitely a fun one to write! Thanks for the request ☺️🙏🏾
———————————————————————
Gyomei Himejima
Since he can’t see, Gyomei has no idea what he touched
He assumed it was your shoulder or something, but the more he thought about it, the more it didn’t seem to add up
Shoulders aren’t soft and squishy…right?
As he’s thinking, he doesn’t realize that his hand is still there
“Um, Gyomei..do you mind getting your hand off my chest?”
“Oh, of course. Sorry, [Y/n]”
Wait..did you say chest?
Gyomei froze and his face quickly turned red
He quickly bows in your direction
“I’m so sorry for touching you in such a private area”
“It’s okay, Gyomei. It’s not like you meant to”
He still feels terrible about it 😭
Sanemi Shinazugawa
You two were sparring when you moved to the side to dodge a punch to your chest
But you didn’t move in time and he ended up bumping his hand into your breast
He retracts his hand so fast
He mutters a ‘sorry’ before just…walking away 💀
He doesn’t look at you to hide his face, which is beet red
He avoids eye contact with you for a while because he feels really bad and embarrassed
Obanai Iguro
He meant to grab Kaburamaru from around your neck, but the snake moved at the last minute and it resulted in Obanai touching your chest
He freezes for a split second before quickly snatching Kaburamaru and walking away
He felt embarrassed and really bad since he violated you
He sends you some sort of gift with a note apologizing
He’s too embarrassed to talk to you for a while
Mitsuri Kanroji
She was helping you into your new slayer uniform, buttoning your top while making small talk with you
You had decided to change your uniform due to it being uncomfortable and difficult for you to fight in
Mid-sentence, Mitsuri’s hand accidentally slipped from the button and knocked into your chest
She immediately retracted her hands and began to bow over and over again while profusely apologizing
You found the situation pretty funny and assured her it was okay between laughs
She felt really guilty, but was glad that you weren’t offended or mad at her
You both just laughed it off and agreed to let you do the rest of the buttoning
Kyōjurō Rengoku
You were listening to Rengoku tell a story as you took a walk together
I feel like he’s the type of person to use his hands when he talks
So he was just talking with his hands when he accidentally swung his hand into your chest
He immediately stops talking and gets on all fours to bow and apologize
You reassure him that it’s okay and that it was just an accident, but he keeps going on about how he violated and disrespected you
You will literally have to peel him off the ground and continuously assure him that you didn’t mind since it was just an accident
You two eventually just laugh it off before Rengoku continues his story - this time without using his hands
Muichiro Tokito
He was trying to point to something beside him, but he didn’t realize how close you were and accidentally knocked his hand into your chest
It takes him ten business days to react 💀
He just pauses and stares at his hand before letting it just fall to his side
He doesn’t even say anything
He just walks away as if nothing happened
He’ll remember a week later and find you just to apologize - not even specifying for what
Shinobu Kocho
She was treating a wound on your abdomen and accidentally bumped her hand into your chest
She apologized, but continued to tend to your wound nonetheless
You were probably in too much pain to notice/care 😂🤷🏾♂️
Tengen Uzui
You two were at some sort of festival when Tengen saw a necklace and picked it up
“[Y/n], I think this would go well with-”
Necklace in hand, he began to turn to face you as he spoke
He didn’t realize that you were literally right beside him, so he ended up knocking his hands into your chest
“Oh, I didn’t realize how close you were to me, I’m sorry. That wasn’t very flashy, I hope the girls are okay”
He attempts to joke about it to make the situation less awkward
You both just laugh it off and continue having fun at the festival
Giyu Tomioka
Him and Shinobu were in some petty fist fight
You stepped in between them to break up the fight, catching Giyu mid-punch
You moved back to dodge the punch, but Giyu managed to brush his hand against your chest
He quickly retracted his hand, looking at it as if it were some sort of foreign object
“Well, that wasn’t very nice, Tomioka”
Shinobu commented, attempting to tick him off
“Sorry, [Y/n]”
He apologized before walking off, still weirdly looking at his hand 💀

suguru still remembers the moment he realized he fell in love with you.
pt 1 || pt 3
notes: idk how i feel about thisuhhh also im gonna make a discord server so it better not flop 🙏🏾
- well, kind of. since the first day he met you, the day you two went to that boba shop, he had been absolutely captivated by you. your presence was angelic, light and fluffy. there were so, so many moments where you displayed traits that he came to love about you, but one seemed to stick out to him.
the two of you were staying after in class, the building nearly empty besides the two of you, finishing something, something that suguru couldn’t recall (it was far from the most notable thing in that memory, anyways.) eventually you two sidelined into a different conversation. “so, you’ve been here for about…a month?” a month. only a month, but it had felt like so much longer to him. it felt like he had known you his whole life, like you two had somehow been intertwined from the start. “how are you liking it here so far..?” he asked.
you thought it over. “its…different. different than i expected. in a good way, though.” “yeah?” “yeah. its definitely better than back home though.” you paused at that, smile faltering just a bit. “what happened back home?” suguru asked, immediately regretting it after. wasn’t that an invasion of privacy? what if you didn’t wanna share? was he pressuring you? “you don’t have to tell me,” he quickly added.
“no, no, its fine.” you assured him. “my parents were just…” you sigh, “they weren’t really that happy at me being a sorcerer. they actually thought i was possessed up until i was scouted, and they hated me for it, i guess. i think they still do.” suguru looked at you with sympathy in his eyes. “im..im sorry. you don’t deserve that.” you shrugged. “its not like its their fault.” “it is their fault, though.” he said, “no one should hate their child for something they can’t control.” you stayed silent.
“well,” you started, “its not like they knew. they didn’t know anything about sorcery, or curses. that makes them susceptible. at first i was mostly here because i was scared that i would hurt someone on accident with my technique, but now? i want to do something, i want to help people, you know?” suguru thought it over for a bit, and then nodded slowly. “i know what you mean.” you shrug, and maybe that was it for him.
you were so pure and selfless, forgiving, the type of person he wished he was. the rest of the night was a blur to him, as you both returned to your respective dorms, but the thought of you, you, you stuck with him throughout the night.

Empty cabin
Luke Castellan x Aphrodite!Reader
WARNINGS: not established relations, Smut, oral (r receiving), grover walking in on them.
————————————————————————
It all started with a few looks across the campfire, looks turned into smiles, smiles turned into following like into an empty cabin.
All the campers of the cabin are at the nightly campfire and you and Luke, we’ll you guys are making out on a random bed of a cabin number you forgot a while ago.
Your on his lap kissing him willingly and his hands are creeping under your shirt getting closer and closer to your chest,
You guys finally part from each others faces and when you do, you just look at each other and smile, it made you happy to know you long time crush since you were 15 liked you back.
It was relieving to finally be in his arm, in a swift motion you were on your back on the bed and Luke was giving you kisses on your stomach and making his way down,
as he’s getting closer to you heat he begins to in button your Jean shorts that fit you so well, and finally zipping them down he drags them off you and stares in awe at your lacy panties,
“wore these just f’me?” He says with a cocky smile and a raspy voice.
You start to feel your face heat up, the truth is, you did wear them for him, you weren’t sure if you were gonna end up doing this with him but you did, just in case ;)
he eventually dives in between your carefully taking of your panties and when he does, he goes to town.
Your a moaning mess, tugging at his curly black hair and anything else around you.
As you tug at his hair, his finger nails tigging into the skin of you thighs and the rugs of his hair makes him groan in pleasure.
Soon enough you feel a knot on your stomach, “fuck..yes Right there!” You say desperately basically whispering it to yourself but Luke still heard,
“OH MY GODS” you hear, it was Grover… you both scoter apart from each other and you grab the sheets attempting to cover yourself
“UHM ILL JUST GO IM SO SO SORRY” he says as he rushes out as he’s covering his eyes,
“I-I should go I’ll see you later?” You say rushing to put on your clothes,
as you turn to look at Luke he’s slightly smirking “definitely” he says and kissed you goodbye as your basically running out the room trying to explain the situation to Grover.
————————————————————————
THATS ITTTT please don’t be afraid to give me request I need ideas 🙏🏾🙏🏾

OHHHHHHHHHHH WEVE DONE IT AGAIN IMPULSIVE HCS
wc;cw: 800 or sum, streetracer!ellie, gridgirl!oc, ellie being a car nerd and hot, mentions of sex MDNI, mentions of ciggies and illegal shit
streetracer!ellie…… passes out
she always loved cars :3 her dad owned a mechanic shop and used to watch him repair all the damaged cars that showed up
when she was thirteen he finally let her help him replace the tires
and then change the oil
and then fix the ignition
eventually taught her how to drive stick😝😝
and 2 years later she knew the anatomy of vehicles like the back of her hand
she was on her dads payroll 💯💯 shout out to mechanic!ellie😞
when she found out ab street racing she got obsessed with it. 2 fast 2 furious is her favorite movie of all time
her youtube history was wild😞😞 30 hours of devon aoki edits saved
so when she got invited to a race by one of her friends when she was a junior for her birthday she almost passed out
the screech of the tires on the pavement and smell of gas gave her heart eyes
she swore she was going to participate in a race after they both left that night
SIKE she thought everyone laughed at her when she showed up the next day in her dads beaten up family van LMFAO
the bullying was devious fr😞 she cried a little when she got home
but ofc her friend helped her ass out and high jacked his brothers old nissan
the overseers allowed her to participate but nobody bet on her except her 2 friends. that $20 pitch didn’t help her confidence much but she loved them😞
she was nervous and filled with adrenaline and tried so hard not to gawk at the hot girls that waved their grids around
when they waved their flags and signaled for the racers to go….
ellie was out that bitch fr😞😞 SKKRTED ON THEY ASS BIG PURRR
VVRRRROOOOOOOM LIKE BFRRR
she hit every sharp turn every curve every bump like it wasn’t shit
she made everybody eat they words that night. HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEENIE😝😝
some overseers gave her $300 outta pocket that night and she wasn’t even on the list to race
her and her friends went every weekend. would leave campus and go straight to the tracks fr
she started getting a little fan base after a month of racing😞😞 girlies from school would come just to see her
but she didn’t pay them any mind💯💯 she payed them a little mind

she makes racks every weekend… and she brings it all home to her dad so she can take care of him 🥺🥺
he doesn’t question where she gets the cash from but he always feels nervous when she leaves the house🥺🥺 poor old man he just wants his baby to go to college
she owns one mclaren senna but never takes it anywhere😞😞 it just sits in her garage lol she paid for that shit in cash tho big bags big stacks
drives a fucked up supra when she races😂😂 she tries to cover up the scratches and large dents with cute little spray paint jobs of fire and sparkles and shit😂😂
she named it renee and slaps the trunk like she slaps ass every time she gets behind the wheel :3 thinks it’s good luck
smokes cigarettes mmmm fuuuck
such an aggressive racer like omgg she gets so competitive and pissed she's so hot
tatted to hell. full sleeve
TERRIBLE RECORD!!!!! arrested twice and was on parole :/
but at least all the grid girls got a little crush on her 😳😳 titties out ass out bc they want her attention
all the male racers hate her bc of it… she don’t care tho suck her dick💯💯
she’ll never say it but…
she definitely stares too long at one grid girl whenever she shows up in her little croppies and booty shorts😞 she’s fine as hell ITS NOT HER FAULT💯💯
too bad gridgirl!oc doesn’t pay ellie any mind anymore :((she had the prettiest smile and such good pussy
that ooey-gooey. that sloppy. THE WORLD'S BEST CREAMER💯
did i mention they're ex's? YEAAAH CLOCK THAT TEA
every time ellie fills up her tank she can’t stop thinking about the time she bent her ex over the trunk and railed her from the back
she may never feel that pussy again 😞😞 it makes her wanna cry
when she met gridgirl!oc for the first time two years ago her world changed for the better
her zits disappeared, her hair got softer, her crops were watered
they fell in love immediately…. like instantly
they were inseparable. up each other's ass. in each other's cars. in each other's guts. so so happy
until they weren’t
their breakup was soooo fucking messy.
cheating accusations. screaming contests. EVEN A PREGNANCY SCARE???😳😳😳
a hot mess. and their relationship ended in flames :(
but that doesn’t mean ellie can’t peep every once in a while😛😛 that ass is still fat as fuck regardless of the beef >:)

𝐀 𝐖𝐞(𝐞𝐚)𝐞𝐤’𝐬 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲: 𝐄𝐩 𝟗 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬
pairing w zhong chenle
GENRE Smut, a touch of angst if you squint real hard lol
MINORS DNI 🙏🏾
MENTION OF edging (no actual scene tho) hair pulling, sub!chenle, oral (fem receiving), face fucking, squirting, dom!reader, dick gripping, slight overstimulation, reader has two orgasms
A/N: just me writing @ 3am again. No biggie 🤭 also I haven’t written for chenle in a while. Feedback is appreciated! Remember to be kind tho :/ thanks always for the love in my absence 💚💚💚
Chenle wasn’t sure how much he could take before he had to get on his knees and practically beg you to fuck him. It’s been a nonstop thing all week long of you riling him up, getting him so close to edge just to leave him high and dry. Hard and trembling with need to come.
Borderline blue-balling him And it didn’t help that you were skipping around his place in just your underwear and a shirt of his that hiked up your ass every time you bent over. Obviously on purpose.
There weren’t enough cool showers he could take to keep his erections down and jerking off was basically pointless. He could never make himself feel as good as you do and he knows you knows this, reason why you never barged in on his little “shower sessions,” not even when he was moaning your name on the other side.
He didn’t know if it were a game or not but accepted his defeat long ago and you noticed how much more sulkier he has become. Going to little to no answers. You can’t help but wonder if you went too far. You only wanted to see how far he could go before he was groveling at your feet but now he just shrugs off you advances. Despite having the most painful boners, his back turn towards you and tries to get some sleep. Eventually it had to go away.
That next morning he wakes up alone and to the smell of something cooking. His stomach almost immediately growls, reminding him how he hadn’t eaten last night. Chenle kicks backs the covers, dragging his tired limbs out of bed and to kitchen where he finds you over the stove, again just in his shirt and underwear.
“Since when do you cook?” His voice croaks and coughs to clear his throat. You stay turned away from him, stirring in whatever you had in the pot in front of you.
“Since someone decided to skip dinner last night.” Looking over your shoulder directly at him, “Don’t ever do that again.” You sounded angry which made him uneasy, looking down to avoid your gaze while playing with the cuffs of his hoodie. ‘Sorry, wasn’t hungry.’
Liar. But you let it go for now and went on to plate his food, setting it down before him. Snapping your fingers and pointing for him to sit. Chenle does but waits for you join him to before digging in.
Not a single word was exchanged between you. Not even a glance. The hell was he even supposed to say? Clearly you were pissed but he couldn’t decipher whether if it was because he went to bed hungry or was it something else? He was too scared to ask. Afraid of having a possible argument and tries shutting up his mind on finding a conclusion and continued to eat.
He offered to wash the dishes, feeling bad if he left you to do them after you cooked for him. Still you haven’t said a word. Kind of surprised you didn’t since knowing how much he hated doing dishes. He’s drawn to the conclusion that it wasn’t about him skipping dinner last night. It was definitely something else. But what?
He hasn’t joked with you in the last few days. Couldn’t have been something he said. He remembers to put the toilet lid down every time he goes. So what could it possibly—
“Oh.” The boy nearly hollers when he’s abruptly snatched from his train of thoughts, realizing you somehow had gotten behind him and your hand shoved down his boxers, gripping his dick.
“Y/n—”
“So this is why you’re ignoring me? Done got used to not having your dick wet you think you don’t need me anymore?” Squeezing tighter, he only wails and grips the edge of the sink. Water still running and soap on his hands.
Don’t need you anymore? Of course he needs you. Needs so fucking bad that he thinks he will actually explode. He needed your touch so much. To feel your lips all over him but most importantly, he needs to be inside of you. So deep that he could see himself protrude in your tummy. Need to hear you tell him he was fucking you too good, how nice and full he made you.
“Please, please, please.” He hisses through closed teeth, already sounding needy when you literally had his cock in a chocking grip.
“Why? Give me one reason why I shouldn’t just let you run off to the shower to fix yourself?”
Because I don’t wanna fix myself! Is what he wanted to say. Those words being right on the tip of his tongue but morphed into chants as your grip had gotten any more possibly tighter when he was taking too long to respond.
“I’LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. WHATEVER YOU WANT, I SWEAR I’LL DO IT.” He babbles like a fool, standing on his tippies as if that were gonna help with the pain. You cut him some release, loosening your grip at his outburst. Taking your finger under his chin so he’s looking you directly in the eye.
“Whatever I want huh?” And he nods frantically, shaking some hair in his eyes.
He loses his breath when you in one move let go of his cock and pushed him down on his knees. The impact stung but he was able to put that on the back burner when you saw your bare pussy come into view.
Wait— so you weren’t wearing underwear—
Chenle gasps as you draw his face near you by his hair. His breath fanning against you, making you aching in need. These last few days has been as much torture for you as it were for him but thankfully you had him right where you wanted him.
“Stick out your tongue.”
Chenle instantly does and hums the second your juices were dancing on his tongue. You were so wet, some of it getting on his face as he lapped it all up best as he could.
Keeping your hand in his hair, you steer his head deeper into your cunt. His nose nestled right against your clit as you held him still, fucking yourself on his face.
“Just like that. Only your tongue.” You then moan loudly and reach for the counter beside you to hold yourself up.
Chenle felt his jaw beginning to ache the more pressure you put down on him as well as his scalp burning from the gripping. His brain too was screaming for oxygen. Just a little more. He chants to himself, squeezing your thighs to hold on but that didn’t stop the little white dots from spotting in his vision.
Right then you were coming. The pleasure had became so much that you squirted all over his face, it dripping down his chin as well as the side of your legs. Chenle took big gulps of air and swallowed a bit that landed in his mouth.
He looked a mess; face wet and a very obvious bulge protruding through his boxers.
“Couch.” Was all you said before Chenle was collecting himself off the ground and scurried off to the living room, dragging you with him.
The second his back met the plush surface, you were climbing on top of him and rid him of his boxers. His cock sprung out and smacked against his tummy. The tip already leaking with precum and colored an angry shade of red.
Without warning, you sink down on his length, punching a moan out the both of you. He seemed to have forgotten tight you were in a matter of days. Your walls sucked him in like a vacuum while he stretched you out nicely. Raising your hips till all was left was his tip before sinking back down on him. A repetitive movement you did a couple more times before finding your rhythm.
Chenle was beyond cloud nine. Getting lost in the feeling of you wrapped around him like a glove. So warm. So wet from your previous orgasm. It created a nice slip, making it easy for you to bounce on top of him. This is all he wanted all week long. How could ever you accuse him of not needing you? He needed you always like the very breath he breathed. And whatever your reason may had been for causing him boner-filled nights, hopefully it was all over.
“I’m so close.” He whines in your ear, gripping the back of your shirt like if you were gonna slip right through his fingers and holds you close to his body.
“Please let me come. Let me fill you up.”
Nodding, giving him the go, “Come for me baby.”
Chenle releases inside of you, his body completely stiffens under you just from how intense his orgasm was while you milked him of every drop.
You still had to finish. Sitting up, your hips rocked increasingly faster and caused Chenle to wail. Hands trying to push you off top of him,
“T-too muc-ch.” But you held him down with your weight, determined to come a second time. Your hand shoots down between your bodies, contacting with your clit. Just the edge you needed to come undone, spasming around his spent cock.
You both take a minute to regain your breath, chests raising and falling together until they were steady. Listening to each other’s still breathing. It wasn’t tense like it was earlier and for the first time in what felt like a month, he was actually lying with you and not against you. He missed this so damn much.
Before he allowed himself to slip in a doze, he always joke that your pussy puts him out, but he feels you sit up. One arm propped on his chest to hold you up.
“What’s the real reason why you were ignoring me ?” You just had to know. Drawing a line of confusion between his brows.
“Why do you think I was ignoring you?” Head tilting in curiosity and earns a shrug from you.
“I don’t know. You just seemed to push me away whenever I got close.”
He stared back at you like you had just said the dumbest thing, which you quite literally did because ain’t no way you were oblivious to everything you had been doing to him.
“You’re really gonna sit here and pretend like you didn’t just blue ball me all week long?”
Chenle was no fool. The second he saw you trying to cover a smirk, he called you out and smacked your butt but you just continue to laugh at him, amused by the whole thing. He knew you toying with him this whole time.
“Why would you do that?! Do you know the pain you caused?”
Wiping away your last tear, he’s glad you think this was funny.
“Sorry Lele. Just wanted to see how long you would last. I didn’t expect you to get so sulky and start ignoring me.”
Chenle scoffs, feigning offense.
“I was not sulking.” He defended but now you were the one staring back at him.
“Chenle… you’re literally wearing a hoodie that says I hate people. You were sulky.”

Confessions, I wish there were more dark skinned females leads in Hollywood. It’s disheartening that in 2023 the only representation we had was in the 90s and early 00s. What makes matters worse is the those films and tv shows meant nothing because black creatives own nothing in Hollywood. I think Tyler Perry is the only black creative that owns a studio. I’m aware this is toned deaf due to the strike, but the Tiana casting for live action really put me in a bad mood lol. Ppl were fan casting Zendaya lol.
I’m aware that she would never take it cause she only takes roles that are for whites women lol, but the fact not dark skinned actress is ever gonna get to that level she’s gotten to (rightly deserved due to Disney, marvel and fashion) her career is a dime in a dozen. Even Halle berry in her peak never got to a level commercially like her white counterparts. She found solace career wise in black films and producing.
Zendaya is outperforming her white peers but it’s crazy how for black creatives we are only allowed one but in the music industry there’s a plethora of black women of different shades and shapes thriving. I really hope I don’t come across bitter or that I don’t like Zendaya success cause ppl do love to use her as a scapegoat ( the Keke scandal last year is an example). It’s just crazy that as we become technologically advanced, the lack of opportunity is sparse and the talent is there. Like there’s no black lady bird film?
That’s my confession/rant lol.
Happy Sunday!
First off anon.... Thanks so much for your confession. 🙏🏾
I'm almost getting emotional because I've felt the same way for a long time, and I can relate to just about everything you said in your ask... 🥺
I'll try to keep it semi-brief... To me, I feel like there ARE talented young, dark-skinned, black women in Hollywood.... but like you said, they're just not being given the same amount (or even same type) of roles as other women in the industry who are of lighter hues. 😔
For some reason, Hollywood has no issue with hiring darker black women once they hit 45 and up... We have Viola, Angela, Octavia, etc, all doing massively well (imo), and being cast in all types of lead and supporting roles in mainstream films....
But for SOME reason, when it comes to casting darker YOUNG black women (especially American) in roles, it's almost like Hollywood forgets that younger darker skinned black women under 35 even exist! 🤔
I've been noticing the pattern for a few years.
And no, I know you don't mean anything negative about Zendaya.... Zendaya has an AWESOME career.... and she basically started from the ground up (no Nepo or rich parents for her!), she worked hard, she's ambitious, she spreads out her work to include ambassadorships/modeling/TV/film, she honed her craft, she didn't overstep her boundaries or immediately go after lead roles on the big screen before she could handle it.... etc.. Like, she's done AMAAZING in Hollywood, and has really started to build an empire (imo) if that's the route she eventually wants to go in. 👏🏾
The only other black young woman in HW who I would say is even somewhat close to what Z is doing is probably Keke..... but even Keke isn't on the same level as Z. Honestly, I don't think there's any young darker-skinned actress out here in the industry who's doing it like Zendaya. Shhhhtt..... even the white actresses aren't doing it like Zendaya right now lol 😆 So, it's def rare....
But you're right.... it's almost like Hollywood forgets that young black women darker than a paper bag even exist. 🤷🏾♀️ When they ONLY use light skinned young actresses for black representation, the black women who AREN'T lighter than a paper bag, or biracial, etc can start to feel left out and not represented at all. 😔
Don't get me wrong, SOME representation is better than none lol 😆 👀
But imo, Hollywood can definitely do better. I would LOVE to see a wholesome Lady Bird type of film, but for black women. 😃
I'm VERY excited about the new "Color Purple" musical film coming out, but if the musical is anything like the original film, that's yet ANOTHER film featuring black actresses that (yet again!) have to deal with trauma, suffering, angst, and struggle.... 🥴 Why can't we get some HAPPY stories for a change? 😅 Do ppl just love watching us struggle onscreen or smthg?
Anyway, let me stop rambling coz I've already said way too much as is. 😞
BTW, Oprah owns Harpo Studios I believe? 🤔 So Tyler isn't the only one IIRC.

Going Forward...
This blog will definitely be sticking around, but I've been doing a lot of debate about how I'll use it. My beliefs have changed some, my witchcraft isn't something I've had a lot of time to devote to recently (something I'm actively working on changing!!) and there have been a lot of big life changes going on too with kids, jobs, etc. This is what I've worked out so far:
This will be staying a Lady Aphrodite e-shrine🩷
Other goddesses I'm interested in working with might be mentioned as well, but she'll remain the focus of this space.
Witchcraft will be another big focus, and will oftentimes tie into the first two bullets, but not always.
I'll be collecting my personal spells and writings about witchcraft under the tag "grimoire"
My tarot work and crystals will figure in as well (I'm hoping to one day soon do those free readings to get some practice in! If all works out, eventually I'll be charging for them 😌)
I'll be archiving some of my posts on reconstructionist Hellenic Polytheism. That's not really the direction my practice is heading. I'll keep them available to read because the research is interesting and might be helpful to someone!
On that note, that's my tag that needs the most cleaning up, so please bear with me, lol. 🙏🏾

It's interesting that you say it's "unfair" that ricky didn't work for his relationship with gina but he did with nini based on how he acted in season 1 and season 3, suggesting that gina deserves better than this, but if anything I think his actions in the 2 seasons prove that he worked WAY harder for his relationship with gina than with nini, especially considering he was in a similar boat in the two seasons.
In season 1 , ricky is reckless inconsiderate and impulsive in the way he handles his situation with nini. Going into the season, he wasn't sure where they stood & he had unresolved feelings for her. He learns that she is in a happy relationship with E.J. and that over summer she discovered a lot about herself and that she's grown & matured since their breakup, she makes it known that she's not interested in getting back together. At this point, Ricky decides that it doesn't matter whether or not nini is happy, bc her needs and desires don't align with his own. So he forces his way back into her life and obtrudes on the one place that he knows is nini's comfort space (theatre) in some thoughtless attempt to win her back against her wishes. He sends a voicemail about them having a moment (cue insecure elton self sabotaging and invading her privacy - no one's fault but his own btw). Fastforward to the end of the season, where he's regressed after gina's moving and finding out about Todd, he steps down so nini can shine and eventually tells her he loves her bc he's scared of what happens next. Throughout all of this you can see that he love for nini is selfish
In season 3, Ricky finds himself in an eerily similar situation to season 1- unresolved feelings for a girl he hurt who is now dating E.J Caswell and is seemingly in a very happy relationship. This time around however, Ricky does not decide that he's going to win Gina back 'whatever it takes, consequences be damned', but instead resolves to do what's best for Gina and makes it his priority to keep her happy, whatever it takes. From that moment on he spends the entire summer doing the one thing that Gina has been wanting from the people around her for as long as she can remember - showing up and sticking around, never expecting anything in return and simply being grateful to be around her. He goes looking for the shrine with her in 3x03, offers to sing LIAOD with her in 3x04 when jet bails, so that his actions wouldn't fall back on gina and so corbin would still get to see how talented and hard working she is, and rushes to practice after watching her duet w EJ bc he wants to be the best leading man for her he can be, 3x05 he apologises to her for being too intense during WDYKAL bc he unintentionally let his feelings get out of control, he respects what she told him in confidence and doesn't tell EJ what she's said to him, 3x06 he stays by her side the entire day- cheering her on through colour wars and at the end of the day helps her set up a PROMPOSAL for her boyfriend who he's well aware doesn't deserve it despite the sirens that were definitely going off in his head, then goes to his bunk to cry bc he doesn't want to ruin her moment. 3x07, he learns that there's a good chance his confession is going to be public soon and opts to keep it to himself for now after finding out about her breakup (Elton fucking up again but what's new) to avoid overwhelming her. He let's Gina come to the realization on her own that she wants to be with him instead of taking advantage of the many opportunities he was given to sabotage her relationship with E.J., because he loves her selflessly. He would do anything to make her happy, whether it's hunting down a ghost with her or setting up a date for her bf- even at the expense of his own feelings.
And honestly all of this means more to me (and Gina clearly) and speaks volumes about which girl he truly loves and wants the best for, and who he worked harder to be with. 🙏🏾
(Sorry for the thinkpiece, it just seems like a lot of people only look at Ricky's behaviour in the two love triangles from one perspective and its kinda frustrating lmao).
When I mean Ricky had to work for his relationship with Nini, I mean more so that Nini didn’t put up with his behavior and held him accountable. He didn’t go about getting back with Nini in the best way at the beginning, but he had to do a lot of learning during that time, and on top of that we also get this whole speech to Nini, versus with Gina, it just feels like he sort of randomly is like “wait i like her” and the best thing he does for her is help her with her promposal (that was really great of him and I appreciated that. it’s a point in his favour and in the favour of r*na). he isn’t really held accountable for his actions in the past, and it’s Gina who is once again having to put herself out there and confess how she feels, not Ricky. Ricky could have said, after she and EJ broke up, “look, I know that you’re a person who likes to know where she stands with people, so that’s why I’m telling you this, but you’re under no pressure to reciprocate or even say anything back. you can just walk away if you want” or something along those lines, because that way, it’s not gina going through putting her feelings out there again and she gets to know how Ricky feels about her and we as an audience could fully understand what he has been feeling and when those feelings started. we could have even gotten an apology from him.
with nini, he was growing a lot and he didn’t make the best decisions, so I can say that Ricky went about his relationship with Gina in a healthier way than season 1 with Nini. that doesn’t discount all the ways Ricky was held accountable by Nini and the way she didn’t put up with him hurting her. Gina in season 2 at least has her moment where she shuts things down with Ricky, but then seeing them back together this season with little understanding on Ricky’s part of how Gina has been put through the ringer by him and no apology and Gina just being fine with that is disappointing as a viewer.
I’m not denying that Ricky was nice this season. I was actually pretty proud of Ricky in some ways because he didn’t immediately try to sabotage Gina’s relationship like he did with Nini in season 1, and he seemed to be in a lot better state this season. That being said, I don’t think he was this exceptionally great person to Gina in comparison to what other characters have done for her, too. A lot of his actions could have been done by any good friend (and things like ghost hunting would have been done by EJ if he hadn’t been in the circumstances of having to direct the show) and while I’m proud of him for not trying to ruin portwell, that should be the bare minimum expectation of a person, that they wouldn’t try to ruin other people’s relationships.
You seem to not have a very high opinion of EJ and so it’s kind of frustrating to have you say that people only look at Ricky through one perspective then make little digs about EJ while neglecting all he went through this season. Like saying it was EJ effing up again and putting the breakup blame on him when he was trying everything he could to stay in the relationship with Gina feels kind of wack. it’s not like EJ was purposefully neglecting Gina this whole season (a season that lasted only two weeks lol), he made time for her whenever he could but unfortunately, he was in circumstances that were out of his control (unless he wanted to give up on the show and screw all of them over as well as his relationship with Gina, because of the situation with his father). to me, someone who has free time and can do whatever he wants going to hang out with someone in the woods isn’t as impactful as someone taking the time to pick flowers for someone and stop by to encourage that person and give them flowers and listen to their worries when they have an entire show to throw together in a very limited time and they have no experience directing.
I’ll say what I have said to every R*na shipper who keeps bothering me: I do not care enough about this show or these relationships to keep answering these sort of asks and comments, especially bc i’m being careful to always tag anti r*na. I don’t think R*na is toxic or awful. I just really, really like Portwell, especially season 2 Portwell, and I don’t like the way things were handled, and I think portwell is better for Gina. I think if R*na was going to happen, there were better ways of going about it and I’m allowed to have that opinion and tag posts as anti r*na without having everyone and their mom try to convince me otherwise. If people want to talk to me about portwell, i will be here for them to vent, but i do not care enough to deal with people trying to start debates when neither of us is going to change our minds and i’m tired and i just want tumblr to be a place where i can talk with people about our shared interests and likes and frustrations without getting into debates with random people. i’m happy for you that r*na is a ship you like and enjoy, because they have had some pretty cute moments and i think ricky and gina are both great characters. i hope the best for them in season 4, and i hope the best for you in your new year.

Praying for you guys 🥺…husbands and wives
Oh and guess what yesterday was Husband and Wife Day
Dang why can’t some folks just leave other peoples MARRIAGES alone 😡😡
I’ll tell you all what God told me in the dream I had with Ye and Kim when they asked for advice on how to proceed before their divorce: put the kids first. Always. Put the egos aside when it comes to your babies. They are innocent and they shouldn’t be damaged because of a seperation or divorce regardless of who is at fault. These little humans deserve that much. God loves the children. Don’t abandon them. That angers him.
I cannot. This scripture confirms the word. The fact I remembered about the Pastor needing rest and checking in on you all is confirmation. But also the word about the supernatural protection of cities of which God spoke of and showed us the territorial spirits/guardians. Just wow.
But yes…In this case magic was definitely used REPEATEDLY to cause problems or worsen them and I’m sorry this was done to these couples out of jealousy 💔😞 FYI 🦚
I said a prayer 🙏🏾 and stay hopeful
Counselling may help.
SN. What a powerful verse:
“Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warriors hands”
Just wow wow wow wow. The Bible is so poetic. Geeeezzz. Phew chilleeeeeee.
Sons leave the home to start their own families like all lions eventually do….but daughters usually took care of their parents in old age. The lionesses that remain. Do well to remember that Men of God. I see this all the time. It’s usually the daughters that take care of their fathers and mothers when they are too old to help themselves. Think Ruth and Naomi 🤍 Think Jacob and his 12 sons and who they came to be… a blessed nation called Israel and 12 tribes scattered across the Earth 🌍
Also King David had 19 children!!!! 19!!! 👀 Though some revolted against him for his throne, he was loved and he was an excellent Father who loved his children more than himself.
There’s that word again: Defense. In Canada we spell defence with a C lol 😝
#celebs#love#undecided#hidden genius#stolen#HOCUS POCUS 🪄#BLACKMAGIC#I hope this gives some closure#I like Teyana too 🌹#balance 🖤🤍

Oh!! Hi friend!!! I definitely have that prompt in my notes! I hope I can do it justice eventually 🙏🏾
And exactly!! I remember a lot of controversy with parts of the original movie: Tiana being named Maddie, Naveen being a white prince named something like Henry, Tiana being Lottie’s maid… then it just became a frog romcom. I feel like parts of the Disney team were probably like, be glad you got a Black princess at all! 🙄
And you are not alone! Haha! We’re still out here rooting for our girl, Tia all these years later. I’m excited for the show too🤞🏾💖
The recent slip up with the Naveen Funko Pop got me thinking about how some of Naveen’s most distinguishing features are omitted from off-screen depictions of him (e.g, Disney Publishing, merch). The features that immediately come to mind for me are his lips (his top lift is often non-existent or depicted as much thinner than it is in the film…btw I LOVE the way you draw and describe his lips hahah 😍 [shaaameless fangirl whoops]), his skin tone, and his dimples (usually non-existent).
What are some pet peeves you have regarding Disney’s representations of TiaNaveen, and how would you suggest Disney improves on its depictions in the future?
THIS!!! Naveen's character is often not "on model" outside of his depictions in the movie. (And lol, thank you! I'm a shaaameless writer myself! haha!) I've even noticed Tiana is sometimes off model as well in merch or print pieces (much lighter, face shape different, etc).
I think the things you mentioned about off model Naveen are spot on though. One thing I might add is that sometimes in profile is nose is less ethnic. He might appear that way sometimes in stories that are part of an assortment of Disney princess children's books.
The thing is, Disney is a mega corporation with stringent control over it's own image. I understand licensers like Funko Pop might mess up their partner brand's properties here and there, but if Disney wanted to exact control over Naveen's image as a South Asian presenting POC, they would. I unfortunately think that for whatever reason, it is just not in Disney's financial interest to care enough about him. They could create a standard set of Pantone colors to reference for him in the polymers and enamels used by their manufacturers, but they probably won't/don't.
I hope they do better with the TV show. :/ I want them full lips and dimples on my brown boy 😭

ALRIGHT: s/o gets into a small accident and is sent to the hospital, the boys are given the run down of what's all wrong with them (nothing major major, bruising, minor fracture, slight immobility, just stuff that'll go away with proper rest and treatment.)
so ofc he wants takes some time off to help take care of them, but s/o doesn't want him to, claiming that they'll be fine on their own they wont, they'll make sure they're getting enough rest s/o ur a workaholic wdym, and that the boys have more important things to focus on, like the tour.
andddd if it's not too much,,,gender neutral reader please? 🙏🏾
oh wow, haha, this is an interesting one. let's see how this goes. now presenting...
(also im running out of individual photos of them to use above their hcs so to avoid repetition for the time being, I'll just be using a group pic at the top of the post instead. i shall continue scouring the internet for more pics tho haha)
4⭐Town Headcanons: Taking Care of their Injured Partner
⭐ Robaire
as much as he will listen to your opinion on anything else, if you try and tell him his career is more important than you and your recovery, he wont take it. hearing you got hurt was bad enough, but now that youre insisting he leaves you... thats something he would never ever do.
he calls his manager and tell them that at least for the next week or two, any arrangements made will have to be rescheduled due to a personal emergency. the other guys are made aware too and he sends a statement to his agent to send to the press on his behalf. he doesn't take any calls, or answer any messages. his priority is you, as it alwsys had been
alot of the time he will sit by your bedside, take your hand and sing to you gently, wanting nothing more than for you to know that he'll always be there
though sometimes he is so quiet, a slight frown on his face as he attends to you. knowing you got hurt and that he wasnt there to help when it happened really eats at him. he knows you'll be ok but seeing you in pain is near unbearable for him. after you've recovered, he's very close to you always, alwsys checking on you, making sure you're well and safe and doing well. he definitely becomes even more affectionate than he already is. he just cares so much
⭐ Jesse
he flat out tells you not to even consider telling him to go because he's not going anywhere while you're in recovery. he doesnt care about upcoming concerts, fan signings or press releases. you are the only thing in his world right now.
he brings you to his house after youre discharged, and after getting you set up in the guest room, leaves for a moment only to return with all kinds of supplies he already has in his house. being a dad means his very prepared to attend to anyone who gets hurt or falls ill in the house. he has painkillers, cushions for comfort, many a first aid kit, hot waterbottles, filtered water and healthy food all to help you get well as soon as possible
he only tells Robaire that he wont be able to make it to practice for a while, knowing his friend will tell the others and their managers. he cant bear to talk to anyone while he's looking after you.
when his kids come home from school, he explains to them that he'll be looking after you, his "friend" who got hurt so he needs them to be a little calmer than normal so you can get rest. they are extremely curious and eventually, after they promise to be quiet, he lets them come and see you. they wave from the door before leaving and you smile when Jesse sighs at their calmness
he's disheveled from staying up to watch you as you rest, hardly getting a wink of sleep himself as he makes sure youre not too hot, too cold, that youre not in pain or thirsty or hungry. it takes the whole first week of your recovery to convince him that he can rest when you're asleep since you dont want him getting sick too, and when he eventually listens, both of you seem to get better at the same time
⭐ Taeyoung
he is a puddle of tears at your bedside, holding your hand in both of him and sobbing as he apologises for your getting hurt, for not being there to keep you safe. he is so hurt to see you this way so dont even think about suggesting he leaves you. he doesnt remember anything besides you, but he does tell Jesse that you got hurt and that he'll be staying with you while you heal
during your recovery, he is as gentle with you as he is with the doves he cares for. he sniffs as he asks if he can help with anything, get you anything, rebind your bandages, get you some painkillers. his eyes are always filled with tears, puffy and pink from crying so much and eventually, after getting into bed with you, cries himself to sleep beside you.
he makes wonderful healthy breakfasts but does indulge you if you are craving something sweet and sugary. though he'll often bring too much, but he means only the best.
as you recover he tells you stories about the doves he helps care for, why he loves doing it and works up the courage to show you how he can make sounds just like them. the smile that you wear only makes him blush with relief, and knowing that you feel good when with him makes his heart swell all the more
he is very hesitant to get back to work once youre better. his hand is always holding yours, fingers intertwined, shoulders pressed together. he's worried terribly but you being in the studios while they reherse songs and practice choreography for a while helps him slowly but surely get back into the flow
⭐ Aaron T
he is quiet, worryingly quiet, as he sits beside your bed, staring at nothing as he realises you're really hurt. and his usual smile isnt there either. he cant bring himself to joke around when youre so injured. if you even try to mention him leaving you, tears will fill his eyes but he won't move. he stays by your side, listening when the doctor prescribes the medicine you need, and in a more serious voice than you'd ever heard before, he says "I'll take care of you, ok?" and you believe him
he is annoyed because he doesn't know what to say or do really, annoyed with himself but he knows to bring you water, make sure you're comfortable and he wrote down the times the doctor said you need to take whatever medicine was given to you, sticking to them like theyre the law.
he doesn't let you get out of bed for anything beyond going to the bathroom. he's very stubborn about making sure you rest properly, though he will buy all the fast food you ask for or you both agree on.
after a couple days he eases up, teasing you a little evrry once in a while, but when he sees your smile because of him and his efforts, he slowly comes back to himself, doing his best to make you laugh as much as he can, well so long as your laughter doesn't make your wounds hurt more
he forgets to tell the guys that you got hurt and he wont be around as he's taking care of you, so he gets many an angry message from Robaire and Jesse and his managers demanding to know where he's been for the past week, but when he sends a selfie of him and you in bed in the background, they just scold him for not saying sooner. he laughs it off and turns his attention back to you, ensuring you are well and, just as importantly, happy
⭐ Aaron Z
he's a little frazzled knowing you got hurt but like Jesse, he is somewhat prepared, having alot of medicine and first aid kits on hand to deal with whatever injuries you have, given the propensity he has for overworking himself in practice and getting a few scrapes or bruises.
he is gentle, very caring but expect a cold side eye if you tell him to leave you be. the last thing on his mind is not being with you while you heal, and because of that, once youre discharged from hospital with meds and the instruction to rest, he takes you to his home.
he tells the others and his managers as soon as he finds out you're hurt, sending his manager frequent updates on your recovery and often tending to you while on the phone with the other members if they're stuck on something theyre practicing while he's gone.
if you persist with asking him to let you go to the kitchen or livingroom by yourself, he wont leave your side, helping you around with an arm around you, his eyes locked on you constantly. if you wince even a little or take a shaky breath from the exertion of pushing yourself, he'll carry you back to bed and not listen to your refusal of his decision.
lots of breakfast in bed, staying with you all day, doing his routines in your room so he doesn't have to take his eyes off you while you heal. he's attentive and kind, and once youre properly recovered he is still very attached to you, checking up on you constantly and smiling warmly when he knows youre doing well.

Last Minute Christmas shopping with P1Harmony
Nothing but chaos with piwon 😕🙏🏾 any reader no pronouns are used to describe reader
Inspired by my family going Christmas shopping today on Christmas Eve 😟👎🏽
I just know intak got lost a couple of times...
Theo fighting a child for the last toy in the isle and keeho standing there with jongseob shaking his head
Jiung in the electronic section all by himself because his group mates can't act civil
Soul wandering idle through the clothing isle wondering why his members are the way they are (and contemplating mass murder)
You trying to make sure y'all don't get kicked out
Nothing but straight chaos
Eventually security comes (along with that kids mother) and you have to try and convince them to not put y'all out 😕
Keeho then has to go and round up all the little rascals so you all could go to a new store
After that mess you literally have to make a hand hold chain so no one gets lost again *cough* intak *cough*
Keeho is digging through the clothing isles of every store you walk into to try and find Theo some better style
I just know soul is lost looking at a bunch of rings that cost more than his whole paycheck
Intak off to the side filming a tik tok 😭👎🏽 (definitely doing the renegade I can see it in my soul)
Theo is just standing off to the side with that confused and clueless look (the one he gives keeho when he does something weird)
You would think Keeho as a leader would be the most responsible... But this man just doesn't know what to do
Jongseob and jiung are the only civil two here besides you ofc I don't know what to say about Keeho, Theo, Intak and Soul...
Keeho definitely took a lot of pictures
After the chaos settles a bit I can see yall having a mini photoshoot
It sounds fun until security come and kick y'all out foreal this time because of numerous people complaining because they thought y'all were a group of delinquent teenagers 💀
#p1h jongseob#p1h#p1ece#p1harmony#p1h theo#p1h soul#p1h jiung#piwon#p1h keeho#p1h intak#intak#keeho scenarios#theo#choi jiung#choi taeyang#jongseob#haku soul#haku shota#kpop#x black reader#black reader#kpop x reader#p1harmony x reader

Songs to play while driving 🚙🎶👂🏾
The truth is, I hardly ever play music while driving these days. I find podcasts help keep me more calm, focused and mentally stimulated so I’ve listened almost exclusively to my favourite podcasts for the last... jeez, like 5 or six years at least. 🤔
If I do listen to music of late, I’ve noticed it tends to be retro stuff mostly. 80’s Dancehall/Reggae, 80’s and 90’s Hip Hop and R&B for the most part.
The remix of Kriss Kross’ 90’s hit “Jump” featuring my fave Dancehall star Super Cat goes hard in heavy traffic, IMHO lol. (I feel like @ropeandcoffee would be all about this too 😉) 👇🏾
youtube
So does “Ting A Ling” by Shabba Ranks. 🙌🏾 *does the Bogle dance in his seat*
youtube
Oh and also if I’m going to the beach and/or I just want happy music, obviously Soca Music rocks too lol.
youtube
Oh, one recent Genre of music I do love driving to is my playlist of Afrobeats songs!
“African Bad Gyal” by WizKid is definitely near the top of my driving playlist. 🙌🏾🕺🏾
youtube
So is Iskaba by Wande Coal and DJ Tunez. 🔥🔥🔥
youtube
And I def can’t leave out “Somebody” by Iyanya featuring Tiwa Savage. 💃🏽🕺🏾
youtube
The really interesting thing to me is that, in my mind, all of the Afrobeats tunes I’ve listed here is what Soca Music sounds like in my head slot... like for years - possibly decades - when I’d get an idea for a Soca song and start writing it in my head, they sounded alot like these kids of Afrobeats songs. And eventually i’d pare thr elements I initially heard in my mind’s ear doen to a a “more traditional sounding” Soca vibe that would fit in the mainstream of what Soca fans in the Caribbean diaspora excpect(ed).
Anyway, those would be my main songs to play in the car.
For those of you who may be interested in podcasts like me for driving entertainment, I highly reccomend them.
On the more woke side, I love listening to The Read (by far my number one fave podcast and the funniest thing I listen to every single week), Amanda Seales’ witty and woke podcast Small Doses, and Happy Hour: A Shot Of Conversation.
For any fellow Blerds (or just regular nerd fandom folks) out there, my nerdy go-tos are For All Nerds Show (formerly Fan Bros), The Mad Titan Podcast (hosted by Your Resident Supervillian Mr. Jay Washington), Collider Heroes (RIP Jon Schnepp but I think he’d be proud of how Coy Jandreau and Amy Dallen picked up the mantle), the unofficial but very through Black Lightning aftershow Podcast, and i’m also enjoying the Black Girl Nerds aftershow podcast for Power (now that the show’s final season has started 😢).
As far as local (Trini) podcasts, I like Recess: Creative Convos alot, as well as We Are Crayons and Talk ‘Bout Us. I’ve also been digging The Plug Connect, but I find myself watching their Facebook videos at home instead of listening to it in the car because the visuals definitely enhance the experience given how animated the hosts are lol.
Btw, if anyone knows of any other good Trini podcasts that I should add to the list, feel free to chime in! 🙏🏾
Once in a while I listen to something raunchy (but always sex positive) like Whoreible Decisions or Guys We F**cked. Speaking of which, i’ve been waiting on a new episode of The Old As F#ck Podcast for a while now... I wonder if anyone knows what the hold up is.. 🤔🤬
And yeah... that’s my driving soundtrack reccomendations. 💁🏾♂️
