#I just want to go through hell. for funsies!

[moongothic]

Lotta people wondering if there is correlation between "Haki can reverse DF status effects" and "Croc never used Haki" (-> "he can't use Haki lest it detranses him"), and while plausible

I do want to ask, do y'all think Haki could reverse what Shinobu did to Momonosuke? No, this is related I swear

Like my logic is that there's generally speaking two types of Devil Fruit abilities

there's ones that create "temporary status effects" onto others, either wearing off with time or if the user passes out/dies/undoes the ability (Foxy, Sugar, Bonney etc)

ones that change you permanently and won't become undone even if the user died (though some may still be reversible by the original user) (Hancock, Shinobu etc)

And as we know, Haki can reverse those temporary status effects, as we see Law do with the Sickness Doc Q inflicted on him and his crew, right

So the question is, while Haki can reverse the temporary changes, can it also break through those (mostly) irreversible changes? Do you think Momonosuke could reverse Shinobu's Ripening ability and deage himself if he mastered his Haki?

Because I feel like, if not, Crocodile could totally use Haki (if he can in the first place) without it undoing Iva-chan's HRT, because Iva-chan's HRT is supposed to be permanent, it doesn't wear off, the only way to reverse it is supposed to be by Iva-chan's own hands

But if Momonosuke could deage himself again by mastering his Haki, then I feel like Crocodile could indeed be in trouble

Finally got around to doing tiphereth core suppression and I got to remember why I put it off for so long holy shit it's so boringggggggg

[justabeewithapen]

What do you think would('ve) happen if, like, Doey and the other toys/experiments (Lucas and Bella included) got out of the facility? How would they react? Obviously, they'd enjoy the freedom, but what else?

Text under the read more!

Phew! Sorry this took me so long to get to, but hopefully it was worth it! Someone else also sent an ask talking about how Bella and Lucas could have survived the HOJ (which I accidentally deleted due to lag while deleting spam TwT) so this is for both of you!!

The first thing on everyone's mind after escaping would be food, food and drinks of any kind. Playtime Co. controlled most of the toys via starvation, and the food they did get was really low quality junk. Doey is more than familiar with crawling through vents, and what is that Walmart employee really going to do about him. While grabbing most anything in reach, there was definitely a preference towards junk food, they're all still kids and chips and soda are like ambrosia and they're going to eat until they throw up, and then they'll probably eat more after XD

After they finish gorging themselves I think they'd probably hide? Try and find somewhere to hide out either just in the woods or if they can locate an abandoned building. Anything to stay out of the weather and away from people, especially that last bit. None of them want anything to do with people, interactions would be rare and as short as they possibly can manage (they're all very scared of being dragged back). Getting Lucas and Bella's collars off is one of those rare people interactions, that poor employee who had Doey's stalker form looming over them while they tried to turn off a shock collar attached to a stuffed animal (who was also alive). Like, the second they left the store that dude 100% fainted BAHAHAHA. Doey's main focus is on himself, Bella, and Lucas, though I think it'd make sense for them to pick up a squad on the way out. Most toys were enjoying the carnage to some degree (or being torn apart in it) and most of the mini toys couldn't do much even after getting out of the building, these three were just lucky. There is no way in hell any of them would be willing to go back into the building, as much as they wish certain friends were here, it's just too much risk.

Honestly even after escaping I think they'd still be stuck in survival mode, scared of being dragged back at any moment and living in a world that is so new and scary. Most don't have very strong memories of being human, everything is new and to them, anything new is dangerous. They'd settle into a routine eventually I imagine... I believe in them :] Also for funsies! The Bron's name is Brandy, he remembers the most about being human (though not his own name as Brandy was a name he took after being a toy) and is in charge when it comes to figuring out new stuff. He is also the oldest of the group! The Daddy Long Leg is Dill, he also doesn't remember his real name. Dill and Doey are the main ones who do any sneaking that needs to be done, Dill is small and flexible, Doey is large and flexible. Finally there is the Catbee Amelia, who the only thing she remembers is her name. One of her antenna snapped off before meeting Doey and gang and she was the leader of her little squad, though I think she enjoys being able to take a backseat nowadays.

[numy-numnum]

Some Beast x Ancient headcanons (CW potential dead dove/nsfw)

Been thinking about this for a while and noticed some people took interest in my personal ship headcanons so I thought I'd indulge, starting out w best x ancient (initially was just gonna be a Burnincheese post but decided to extent it to the other beasts for the funsies)

Oh btw No White Lily and Silent Salt, I like to infer my headcanons based off... yknow canon. So when they get added I will gladly update this post or make a new one featuring them.

Despite this some of these might be extremily canon non compliant, apologies LMAO

Some very important disclaimers first of all, title warning is important, there will be discussions of abuse, racey topics, complicated and messy relationships and other potentially touchy subjects, if this is difficult to read please step away from this post

I am a romance repulsed individual somewhere on the aromantic spectrum I believe (no labels), I have 0 interest in traditional sugary sweet romance (infact it revolts me) and that part of me hugely infers how I approach shipping characters, these are weird little writing experiments to me to see how bizarre and weird the human brain is and to explore those darker, uncomfortable avenues in a 100% safe enviroment. So again if you're expecting thing such as villain redemptions or totally healthy typical cute relationships ,again, probably best to leave lol

And lastly, apologies for typos, will fix as many as possible if I spot them lol

Without further ado, enjoy my ramblings about pastries who smooch each other

ShadowVanilla

Ah yes, t4t (twink4twink/j)

As I see it, ShadowVanilla is a mostly one sided thing. The mutual feelings are there but not in the way either of these two WANT them to be.

We've seen what SM has done to PV , but honestly my personal hot take is PV has some unhealthy beliefs himself.

PV is entirely too selfless for his own good, in the face of someone who has tried to break him down, tried changing him to fit this fucked up mold of what he should be in the eyes of SM, put him through metaphorical Hell for a cause that would bring the world to its downfall... And his response was a resonding "I understand you, we can still be friends." (poorly paraphrased)

As I see it, PV wants SM to reform, to join him, be a pair without others' lives being at stake, but SM fundamentally cannot change.

The two are in a constant dance of desiring each other, needing each other but constantly hurting each other whenever they get too close.

SM because he refuses to let go of his cause and to admit that his idealized version of PV just isn't him, a thing he cannot ever have.

And PV because his insistance on redeeming SM constantly gets him rejected and yelled at.

It's a viscious cycle of yearning, needing and destruction, neither of them are ever truly happy... yet those few moments where there is no fighting, there is no manipulation, there is no unrealistic expectations... It feels like bliss.

Each of them cling onto those moments for dear life and it's what partially keeps them afloat despite their relationship (the other reason being literally each other's halves) Because those few moments are the best thing, ever.

Need, intimacy, love, lust. It all blends together to make a concoction of pure bliss that motivates them to keep going, that perhaps the next time it'll work, and it will be what finally tips them into finding a mutual understanding.

There is no such thing for them, that is. Because they are blind to the thing that keeps them in this vicious cycle, and thus they'll never realize what they do to each other isn't truly love.

But they don't mind, they'll do it all over again if it means they get to try at least... And perhaps it's also because the two have started to enjoy their little dubious, exhausting routine but simply refuse to acknowledge it.

MysticCacao

Sorry to the avid shippers of these two but in my head, 100% one sided.

At the cost of doing Dark Cacao a disservice, he is 110% hellbent on "fixing" that woman... Only for her to walk him around like a dog (metaphorically... mostly).

He tries his best to get to her but it all fails. Sometimes MF is willing to entertain his charade mostly for her (internal) amusement and to study that man like a zoologist studies an animal in the wild.

She's scary, scarier than anything he's ever seen and he LOVES IT. DC doesn't say it out loud but it's definetely why he keeps trying to hit that.

I also like to think that perhaps, in a twisted sense,he thinks she could fix parts of him too, namely how much of a failure of a father he is. Despite her personality, MF is an extremely good caretaker and very loving to Cloud Haetae (although she doesn't show it) and I like to think that DC sees that and in a sense sees an alternative version of himself in MF... One where he and his son didn't have a fallout.

MF is aware of this and much like with everything else she is apathetic to it, if anything she likes leading him on so Peach Blossom can oggle the old man and make moves on him (she's a great wingman)

EternalBerry

TOXIC YURIIII 🎇🎇🎇

EternalBerry is a fun one for me bc HB kinda just... Takes what's thrown her way and shrugs it off, to the absolute dismay of ES

HB is willing to keep a queerplatonic relationship with ES but obviously, ES wants more which leads to awkward arguments and breakdowns.

HB comforts ES through those but in the end nothing gets ever truly resolved and HB doesn't feel like she's equiped to handle something like this.

Outside of her obsessiveness, posessiveness and codependance ES is also quite volatile towards anyone around HB. Not in the Yandere way but she's definetely the type of woman to go "who's this "dad" character in your contacts?" She'll go as far as to mimic aspects of people HB favors in an attempt to get to stay with her, a flip flopping that confuses our local herbo and solidifies her stance that she really just... can't handle all of ES.

ES will go on tirades about how monstrous HB is for leaving her, gaslighting her, yelling at her, minimizing her actions once things blow over, victimize herself when HB bites back, partialy because she wants HB to stay with her forever in eternal happiness but also because she enjoys the moments where she gets to feel small and vulnerable (in the freaky way).

HB tries her hardest to be patient with ES but at times it gets difficult, even with their agreed queerplatonic relationship, she's understanding and caring and will try to protect ES from other evils but unlike PV who feels he can truly change their respective beast, HB just does it because she feels like it's the right decent thing to do. She has no drive to try and change ES's mind and that's because to her their different views clash to the point of her being unable to hold a much more serious relationship.

HB likes to fool around with other friends and even invites ES as well (under the condition she behaves) but ES tends to usually be wholy uninterested in seeing other individuals with HB, the few times she does agree she tends to put up these demands and boundaries where HB focuses on her primarily.

This point is here bc I'm a big fan of HollybberxTarte TatinxPitaya DragonxRoyal Margarine LOL.

BurningCheese

My personal favorite and the one I have the most to ramble about I think

I love love love love love LOVEEE relationships where people hate each other so much they end up desiring each other carnally.

"I hate you. your deft handling of your unfortunate circumstances, your uniqueness, your ability to surpass me — all these irritate me. you're the one person I refuse to lose to" is the EMBODIMENT of how I see their dynamic.

The two are a... Special bunch.

Like HB and ES they have struck a mutual understanding but theirs has 0 good terms attached. "I'll destroy everything you love" "And I'll always bee there to stop you." basically

She wants to kick his ass, he wants to kick her ass and get his ass kicked and that's what they agree to... Usually.

In a twisted sense of irony the two eventually develop a sort of fucked up admiration for one another. BS sees how radiant and confident GC is post her awakening and it infuriates him, it angers him how much he's spurred on by her and how unaffected she is by him. he doesn't understand why it happens, is it her beauty? Her strength? He has no damn clue what about this woman allures him. He knows he loves how she's the only one that can crumble him.

His thoughts are a mess of wanting to put her in her place, crumble her like many others she has taken down and wantig to embrace her, to worship her body like the goddess she is, to taste her to feel her... To sink his teeth into her flesh and taste her blood on his lips, for her to take control and treat him like a weakling, for her to press her heel down on his neck until it gives in and damn it if the feeling isn't mutual between the two.

Out of all of them they're the most secretive about their relationship, mostly because of the nature of it but also because they feel like no one must know of what they get up to. It's the only part of their agreement they swear by mutually.

When they get time for themselves outside of their "sparring" sessions they don't enjoy the typical dates or plain vanilla power inbalance sex, they make shit weird.

Obsessed with constantly testing each other's nerves and reminding each other of just how capable they are of killing each other. GC specially loves to toy with BS and his feelings, she knows he's utterly smitten with her and that he's willing to degrade himself for her sake because he loooves it, he craves it like a famished man craves a fine meal.

And he loves the times where he's given some control and can show off how vicious he can truly be.

Their age gap is definetely part of it also, BS loves the idea of putting this young naive fool in her place and GS loves making this grumpy old man be reduced to a whimpering begging mess.

Despite the many markers of a generic power inbalance dynamic they stray as far away from it as possible though, it just isn't exciting for one of them to always be in control of the other, there's no fun in comformity it gets boring when all there is to their fun times is "small young woman get topped by big evil old man" they need their own spice.

As such they take many risks, and are often extremely reckless, often having to hide bite marks, bruises etc from their subordinates to prevent them from finding out, and if you're wondering yes they've had close calls before, many of them in fact but they're too stubborn to learn, if anything the risk makes it all the more fun for them to be like this.

They're tied to the hip yet they downright refuse to take things further with their relationship, their sparing sessions and sex is all there is to it.

HOWEVERRR, BS does secretly want GC to finish him off once and for all, end their charade at the hands of the only woman in the world strong enough to crumble him. GC is extremely against this but it hasn't stopped BS from attempting this multiple times.

if either of them get close to fataly injuring each other they'll take each other to safety and tend to their wounds immediatly. GC because she can't find it in herself to kill him and BS because he wants the only person who can crumble him to stay alive so he can be entertained for all eternity until the right time comes and he gets to crumble once and for all. It's yet another cycle these cookie weirdos get themselves into and there's not much one can do about it.

At least these two enjoy themselves... in more ways than one.

WOAAAAAAAAAAHH

ok that's it, it's currently past 3 am as I write this, enjoy my insane, honestly horny ramblings+edits and errr idk yell at me in the comments for being dumb or something idk lol

[eggcats]

I do like the "Alastor realized Vox has no idea who he is and so he hides his reputation from him to have a friend" trope that someone came up with.

But. Imagine. Alastor tries to get this random box-headed sinner to stop following him around like a lovesick puppy, and so he plays UP his violent nature. Suddenly, no one can walk NEAR the Radio Demon without risk of their arm getting torn off just for funsies. Broadcasts have tripled in frequency, with one happening every single time Vox is near a radio.

(Don't ask Alastor why he hasn't attacked that very same sinner if you value your afterlife. He has Reasons. Totally.)

None of it works. Vox is still infatuated, and it's just getting worse the more Alastor tries to put him off.

It's up to you if Vox is just oblivious, with certified Vox-Vision that only sees Alastor through rose tinted glasses - OR if he just likes the violence and show of power Alastor keeps doing.

If you choose option two, a hilarious idea would be that Vox thinks that Alastor's showing off FOR him. He's the most specialist sinner in hell, after all. He deserves nothing less than the best - and in hell, that means uncontrolled violence. Alastor's been treating him like a princess, no one can go near Vox without risk of Alastor taking them out.

(The reason is Vox is following Alastor, and Alastor isn't letting anyone else near him - but that has the added effect of any time anyone comes near or bumps into Vox, Alastor kills them, making Vox think the violence is special treatment just for HIM. Maybe it is, and Alastor just doesn't even realize it, lol.)

Alastor eventually complains to Rosie, like, "I have absolutely no idea how to get rid of him!" And she's like, "Darling! You have a man at your beck and call, willing to do anything you ask with NOTHING in return! He doesn't even expect you to act like someone else to do it! What's the issue?"

(Rosie is fully aware that Alastor enjoys Vox's company but doesn't know how to handle it.)

So we have fresh sinner Vox just heart-eyes following the Radio Demon as he indiscriminately slaughters whoever he wants, and Alastor eventually just accepts that this is his afterlife now.

Will you let me hold you, please?

High school theater kid! Cooper x High school theater kid! Fem Reader

TW: extra corny bad written fic about a fruit salad 🤗

A.N: I completely understand if you do not want to finish reading this, I literally wrote this for funsies and because of the lack of cooper fics

"Have a little faith, Cooper is a great actor!" my friend Madelyn suggests as we walk away from the bulletin board. "I've seen him in a couple of school plays before, and plus, you are a great actress. I'm sure you'll do just fine."

"You do realize he's a sophomore, right? Maddie, I'm a freshman—he’ll be incredibly uncomfortable!" I say, turning to her as I glance down at my phone, checking the time. Five minutes until the first script read-through.

"Chill, Y/N. I had art with him last semester, and he’s honestly the sweetest human being. You’ll do just fine. Besides, he doesn’t talk to any of the other sophomores, so he doesn’t really care," she tries to comfort me, but it’s of no use. "He’s a 'go with the flow' kind of guy."

"Sure, yeah… Cooper, super nice, super chill, as cool as a breeze," I reply in an awkward voice as we reach the doors of the auditorium.

"Ew, don’t do that in front of him, please!" she laughs, patting my back. "Look, you got the role for a reason. You have talent. Thrive in it. It’ll be like home to you—I just know it." She smiles softly, and it makes me feel better. She always knows how to keep me grounded.

I sigh as I push open the door, stepping inside. I turn back to see Madelyn giving me two thumbs up. Dork.

I head to the front row of the empty auditorium, dropping my backpack into one of the seats. I glance around at everyone else, talking among themselves—none of them have noticed me yet.

"Hey, look! It’s Baby Moon!" Or so I thought.

I turn to see Liv, a senior, shouting from across the room. I remember her from when she was a junior and my brother, who had just recently graduated, was a senior. They had... a thing. No one really knew what it was—hell, I didn’t even know, and my brother tells me everything. When he graduated, he cut ties with her, saying it was for the best. He was right, but she refused to accept it. Ever since then, she’s made it her mission to make my life hell.

That’s why she got everyone to start calling me "Baby Moon," because of my last name. I hate the nickname.

"Thanks for the warm welcome, Liv," I say sarcastically as the others’ laughter dies down. She walks toward me with an arrogant smile. Can't wait to hear this.

"So, Baby Moon, congrats on the lead with Koch," she sneers, using Cooper's last name, which I know he hates—something Madelyn had mentioned.

"Thanks. Which role did you get? Tree number one?" I mock with a pout, to which she scoffs. "Relax, I know you wanted a low-profile role, so you went for the ensemble."

She rolls her eyes and walks away as we hear the theater teacher enter.

"Good afternoon, my beautiful actors and actresses! Today will be simple. We’ll have a first read of the scripts, and I’ll have the leads do a semi-improv chemistry test. Are we clear?" Everyone nods or mutters a 'yes' in response as she takes her seat in the front row with her clipboard. "Y/N, I see you're here. Has Cooper arrived?"

I look around. No sign of him.

"No, I haven’t seen him—"

"I’m here! Sorry! I’m here!" Cooper bursts through the door, his hair ruffled and his backpack hanging low from his arm. He must have sprinted from the other side of the school.

The teacher giggles softly. "It's alright, Cooper. Please grab a script."

He nods, grabbing the only remaining script from the second-to-last seat in the front row. He sits down, exhaling deeply, still panting from his run. He looks up, and our eyes meet for a brief moment before we both look away.

We finally start the read-through. I'm enjoying myself, and I glance around to see how others are reacting. Some look bored as usual, while others are laughing, and a few seem to be trying.

The teacher then announces the reading is over, and the leads are to come up to the stage for the chemistry test. I make my way to the stage, followed by Cooper, while the others remain seated, watching.

"I want to see some romance. Show me how you two connect, okay? Just let it flow," the teacher instructs.

I turn to Cooper, internally panicking about how I ended up in this situation, knowing I have zero guts for anything romantic.

"And... action!" the teacher calls out.

"I said I was sorry," Cooper says, his expression pleading, his voice taking on a whiny tone. Okay... think, Y/N, think.

"I-I don't know what to tell you. This was everything to me. You made a promise, and you broke it," I reply, spitting out the words with a mix of rage and a face on the verge of tears.

"Baby..." His voice softens as he steps closer, taking my hands in his. "I know I was wrong, but... I love you." He draws nearer.

"I just... I..." Before I know it, Cooper is down on his knees, his head level with my chin due to our height difference. One hand wraps around my waist while the other supports behind my knees.

"Please... I'll beg for your forgiveness if that's what you want. But please..." My hands instinctively move to his head—one running through his hair, the other resting on his cheek. "Please, baby... I promise I won't hurt you again."

A shiver runs down my spine as he speaks, his voice so smooth, so full of emotion that I almost forget we’ve never met before. Yet here he is, on his knees, begging for my forgiveness.

"I just can't... but you're just... so hard to get away from. You're like a drug to me. Tell me, love, what did you do to me? Why can't I walk away from you?" His face inches closer to mine, and without realizing it, I lean in too. Our lips meet—not rough or desperate, but soft and caring.

"And cut! Wow!" I pull away, realizing what just happened. My cheeks flush red as I turn to see the theater teacher smiling widely.

I turn back to find Cooper still on his knees, his arms wrapped tightly around my waist, making me blush even more. I extend a hand to help him stand.

"Nice to meet you, Cooper," I laugh, finally introducing myself after the whole unplanned scenario.

"Same here, Y/N." He laughs too, shaking my hand. Gosh, this is mortifying.

As Cooper stands up and shakes my hand, I can’t help but blush even harder. My cheeks feel like they’re on fire. I try to compose myself as the theater teacher begins to speak.

“That was absolutely brilliant!” she exclaims, clapping her hands together in excitement. “You two have incredible chemistry on stage. I’m feeling some real magic here.”

I turn back to Cooper, and we exchange a sheepish smile, still feeling the adrenaline from the scene we had just performed. My heart races as I realize we had just kissed. Even if it was just for the scene, it still left me feeling a bit flustered.

The theater teacher continues, "I knew I made the right choice in casting you two as leads! You're both incredibly talented, and you play off each other so well."

I glance at Cooper again, feeling a strange mix of butterflies in my stomach and a tinge of nervousness.

The teacher goes on, "I’m really excited to see what you two can do together. The opening night is in three weeks, so we better start working hard!"

I nod in agreement, still trying to process the events of the past few minutes. I can feel the eyes of the other cast members on us, some looking curious, others slightly envious.

Cooper speaks up for the first time, his voice as smooth as it was during the scene, "I’m really looking forward to working with you, Y/N."

“Me too… you’re really talented. You had me there for a second, and we just met.” I chuckle as we walk off the stage, grabbing our backpacks. “I’m not gonna lie, I was way too nervous before coming in. I thought you’d be, uhm— intimidating?”

Cooper chuckles softly as he walks beside me, slinging his backpack over his shoulder. "Intimidating? Me?" he says jokingly. "I’m not sure whether to feel honored or offended that you thought I was intimidating," he laughs again, this time softer.

We reach the door, which he pushes open to let me go first. I mutter a small "thanks." “Well, probably a bit offended, seeing as I’m literally mocked by everyone in this school, so… I was kinda expecting the same.”

Cooper's expression softens when I mention the mocking, and I see a hint of concern in his eyes. He then speaks, "I’m sorry to hear that… but trust me, I’m not like everyone else. I’m a pretty chill guy, and I don’t see you as less than anyone because you’re a freshman or whatever it is they mock you about."

“That’s— thanks��” I smile softly as I notice him subtly biting his bottom lip. “If they ever ask for Baby Moon, just know, that’s me,” I say with a chuckle, feeling a bit flustered.

Cooper lets out a laugh, "Baby Moon, huh? That’s a new one.” He raises an eyebrow, still smiling. “I have a feeling that’s not the only nickname you’ve accrued.”

“Not at all, no,” I laugh, noticing his messy hair, which I’d messed up earlier when I ran my hands through it. “I’m— sorry about your hair. It was the moment,” I stammer, blushing even more.

Cooper laughs sheepishly, bringing a hand up to ruffle his hair. “Don’t worry about it. Besides, it looks better this way.” He glances at me with a playful smirk. “Though I can’t help but wonder if you just wanted an excuse to mess it up.”

“Then I wonder if you just wanted an excuse to kiss me,” I turn it back on him, trying not to burst into laughter.

Cooper’s eyes widen in surprise, clearly not expecting that response. A blush slowly creeps onto his face as he struggles to reply. He stutters out a quick response, “I—no—uh…” Then he breaks into laughter, clearly amused by my retort. “Damn, good one,” he says, still laughing.

“I’m just teasing you. I’m never serious,” I laugh as I see someone running toward us. I turn around and see Madelyn approaching with a knowing smile as she spots me standing there with Cooper.

Cooper chuckles at my comment, still amused by our exchange. We then turn to see Madelyn approach, her grin widening as she sees us together. She walks up to us, her eyes flickering between Cooper and me with an almost conspiratorial look.

“Well— I…I’ll see you tomorrow at rehearsal, Cooper,” I smile at him and glance at his messy hair again. “You better fix that, or people might get the wrong idea.”

Cooper gives me a sly smile, clearly enjoying the banter. “Sure thing. Can’t have people thinking I was making out with the lead now, can I?”

He then laughs and playfully fixes his hair a bit, though it still looks incredibly messy. “There. Better?”

“A mirror might help you,” I snort as I grab Madelyn’s arm. Cooper huffs in mock annoyance.

“Hey, I tried my best!”

Madelyn grabs my arm and begins to pull me away as Cooper calls out. “See you tomorrow! Don’t forget to practice your lines!”

“You bet I won’t!” I answer, blushing, knowing Madelyn would comment on Cooper’s "making out with the lead" remark.

After we walk away, Madelyn looks at me with a mischievous grin, her eyes practically sparkling with curiosity.

“So…” she begins, a hint of playfulness in her voice, “making out with the lead, huh?”

“It’s just— a joke, a joke. We didn’t, like… make out for real,” I say, stammering as I look down at my feet.

Madelyn smirks at me, clearly enjoying my flustered state. “So you did make out with him,” she says, still grinning. “Wow, you do not waste time, do you?”

“Shut up, will ya? This is so embarrassing. We just— kissed for the chemistry thing and… and we introduced ourselves after he’d stuck his tongue down my throat! God—” I cover my face with my hands. Please kill me.

Madelyn bursts out laughing, clearly finding the whole situation hilarious. "Oh my god, Y/N," she giggles. "You’re blushing so hard right now. And his tongue down your throat? Wow, so much for being the quiet one, huh?"

“Shut up!” I laugh, mortified by the whole situation. I will never EVER live this down. “I’m just glad it’s over, so the kiss in rehearsals and on opening night won’t be… awkward.” I sigh as the heat from my cheeks dies down.

Madelyn snickers as she slings an arm around my shoulders. "Oh, you'll be fine. As long as you can see him again in rehearsals and on opening night. I'm sure you'll have plenty more 'tongue down the throat' moments to look forward to."

“Maddie! Oh my gosh!” I yell as she bursts out laughing, clearly finding this whole thing incredibly amusing while I find it rather mortifying.

As we walk down the hallway, suddenly Liv stands in our way, making us stop. She steps in front of us with a smug smile on her face. "Well, well, well," she sneers, looking directly at me. "Looks like the freshman got lucky, huh?"

I cringe internally as I realize what she's referring to. Liv had always loved bringing me down. I don't say anything, just try to maintain my composure as I look at her blankly.

She continues, turning her attention to Madelyn. "I mean, who would have thought little Baby Moon would get the lead and a cute upperclassman all in one day?"

"Liv—" I feel blank, and I don't want to fight, but I also know Madelyn won't let this slide.

Madelyn, ever the outspoken one, steps in front of me, her expression hardening. "Cut the crap, Liv," she spits. "You know damn well that Y/N deserves that role more than anyone."

Liv scoffs, unfazed by Madelyn's words. "Please, just because she's a freshman doesn't mean she's any good. And I saw her with Koch earlier—he's way out of her league."

Madelyn rolls her eyes, clearly annoyed by Liv's condescending attitude. "You're just jealous," she snaps back. "Y/N's a damn good actress, and Cooper being into her just proves it."

"He's not—" I try to speak, but they both completely ignore me.

Liv smirks, not backing down. "Please, he's not into her, and even if he was, it's only because she's the lead. Once opening night is over, he'll dump her and move on to the next girl who gets the lead."

"He's not into me, and neither am I into him! It's just acting!" I snap, frustration bubbling over. "God, Liv, get a fucking life and stop snooping into mine because you're still obsessed with my brother! Go find a friend or something!" I gasp for air as I stop myself from saying anything else. Shit.

Liv's face goes slack at my outburst, clearly taken aback. Madelyn looks shocked, but I can see a hint of approval in her eyes. The hallway falls eerily quiet as people around us stop to look and whisper about what just happened.

"I—Liv, I'm so sorry—"

Liv takes a step back, clearly stung. She tries to keep her cool, but I can see the hurt in her eyes. "Shut up," she says, her voice strained. "You have no idea what you're talking about."

Madelyn steps between us, trying to diffuse the tension. "Okay, both of you, chill out," she says, her voice firm but calm.

Liv glares at me before pushing past us, bumping my shoulder as she walks away. Madelyn turns to me, a mix of concern and approval on her face. "That was intense," she says, shaking her head.

"I'm 100% screwed," I mutter as I stare blankly down the hallway. I was barely into freshman year, and my high school life was already over.

Madelyn sighs, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Hey, don’t worry too much about it. Yeah, Liv's probably pissed, but she'll get over it. And besides, this might actually work in your favor."

The next day comes around, and I'm walking into the auditorium for rehearsal. The events of yesterday are still fresh in my mind, and I can feel the tension in the air as I make my way down the aisle to the stage. Some of the cast members give me curious glances, clearly aware of the confrontation with Liv.

As I approach the stage, I spot Cooper sitting off to the side, going over some notes. He looks up and gives me a small smile, clearly aware of the awkwardness between us after the whole flirty interaction and making-out thing. I awkwardly return the smile and make my way beside him.

I set my backpack down and try to think of something to say, but before I can, Cooper breaks the silence. "Hey," he says softly. "How are you holding up after yesterday?"

"I see you've heard about my little outburst to Liv—like everyone else." I shake my head as I pull the script from my backpack. "You never realize how quickly gossip spreads until you reach high school."

Cooper lets out a small laugh, clearly amused. "Yeah, I heard about it," he says, still smiling. "But don't worry too much. Half the people in this school have probably gotten into a fight with Liv at some point."

"Yeah, well, I'm not exactly thrilled to be one of Liv's mortal enemies." I smile as I turn the pages of the script, marking specific sections with numbers and lines. He lets out another soft laugh, mirroring my actions.

"Well, if she keeps you as her mortal enemy, she can count on having two now," he says, his eyes meeting mine. "I've got your back. I'm not a raging asshole."

I laugh, looking down at my hands, feeling a bit flustered by his words, though my head pounds lightly. He barely knew me, yet he was already being so sweet. But then Liv’s words echoed in my head for some reason.

He was probably just being nice because I was the lead. He has no reason to be this nice or "have my back."

"Yeah, thanks..." I say softly, trying to push Liv's voice out of my head. She's the raging asshole, not Cooper.

"By the way, have you read through the whole thing?" He closes his script. "I'm obsessed with the confession scene," he says, grabbing my script and flipping through the pages until he lands on a specific part with a grin. I yawn as he hands the script back to me. "Sleepy? It's barely 11:30, you know?" he snorts, seeing my tired expression.

"Yeah, just—" I yawn again. "Yeah, just a little." I smile softly, though it was far more than just a little. I hadn't slept more than an hour and hadn't eaten anything yet, only drinking water all morning.

"Well, better wake up, kid. We've got some rehearsing to do," he laughs as he gets up and walks on stage. Our teacher stands up and starts indicating the scenes we'd be rehearsing during the week, and something about costumes, though I don't really hear any of it as the room spins around me.

"Y/N, get into place with Cooper, sweetheart," she calls out. I walk slowly, carefully stepping onto the stage. I glance at Cooper, his expression showing clear confusion, as if to say, "She was fine a couple of minutes ago."

"Okay, Cooper, start on the second line on the third page, scene two. You there?" He quickly reads through the page and gives a thumbs-up. The teacher then turns to me. "Y/N, are you with us, love?"

I glance down at the page, then up at her and nod softly, trying to ignore my exhaustion and pounding headache.

"Mhm." Cooper turns to me, still looking concerned but saying nothing.

"Alright then, Cooper, on my count," the teacher says. "And... action!"

"I haven't seen you around here, are you new?" Cooper says, holding his hands behind his back as he moves steadily closer. "I'm Alec. You are?"

"Yeah, that’s—me, new—nice to meet you." I stretch out my hand, and he rolls his eyes with a playful grin. "Roni, I'm Roni, a pleasure."

"Well, Roni, what brings you around here? Little spoiler: there's not much to see." He turns his back on me, taking a few steps away before stopping and spinning around.

"My—my..." I try to step back, but my legs wobble. I let out a shaky breath, struggling to finish my line. "My—mom, she's on boyfriend number four, so..."

"Oh—messy home life?" His brows furrow as he sees me stumble. "Everything alright?"

"Not—not really, but I can live with it." My breathing becomes shaky as the whole auditorium spins faster. Cooper glances at our teacher, then back at me. I attempt to take another step, but my knees buckle, and I feel myself fainting.

Cooper rushes over in an instant, wrapping his arms around mine as he fell to the ground with me in his arms and falling onto his lap.

A few gasps were heard as the whole thing happened. Cooper stroked some hair out of my face as he checked me over. The teacher called a fifteen-minute break before coming up to check on me and Cooper, who hadn’t left my side.

“Y/N, sweetie, what happened? Are you alright? Did you get hurt?” she asked, grabbing my chin and turning my face from side to side as she checked me. I shut my eyes, still dizzy from the tumble.

“Yeah, just—tired. I had a long night, that’s all.”

“Y/N, you collapsed. You would’ve hit the ground if I hadn’t caught you,” Cooper spoke up as someone handed him his backpack after he silently signaled for it. “You are in no state to rehearse today.” The teacher nodded as he pulled out a chocolate protein bar and handed it to me. “You have to eat something, please.”

“Cooper, I’m fine—really.” As our teacher walked away, he opened the wrapper and placed the bar in my hand. I turned to him, and he just remained silent. “Cooper—”

“Eat. I can’t have my love interest fainting on me,” he chuckled. Finally, I gave in and took a bite, feeling immediate relief as something hit my stomach after hours of starvation.

I finished the bar, and I realized I was still sitting between Cooper’s legs as he held me, not letting go at any moment. I felt a blush creeping up my cheeks as I saw him smiling down at me. I tried to get up, but he gently took hold of my wrist.

“Will you let me hold you here for a while, please?” he asked shyly, sighing. “Rest here for a bit. I just want to make sure you’re okay, please.”

“You are... too sweet. Fine,” I replied, staying in place as Cooper wrapped his arms around my neck from behind. I shook my head with a small smile.

“Is this a bad moment to ask if you’d like to get coffee with me sometime?” he asked, peeking his head around the side. I let out an audible laugh. Madelyn was right—he might just be the sweetest human being ever.

TW: negative talks of body image, gets a little smutty at the end, but nothing graphic

bf!Toji x gf!reader where reader is feeling insecure about her body and Toji comforts her like the sweet man he is of course...ehehe

A/N: This is (one of) my first posts of my writing...OMG. I've written before, but I'm pretty inconsistent and haven't really ever gotten serious about posting anything. Just doing this for funsies and to share my passion for anime, JJK, Toji, but I hope I'm playing by the rules correctly! Enjoy <3

You loved your boyfriend for his quiet strength. The way he never seemed to complain, the way he got shit done, the way he didn't mind getting his hands dirty, the way he didn't let his feelings get in the way of his objective. In your eyes, he was a real man, and you adored him for it.

But sometimes he could be so ignorant to the fact that you were the complete opposite of him.

Toji often found it perplexing how sensitive you were. He didn't understand how you could get so stressed about something he wouldn't think twice about. He thought it must be exhausting, living a day inside your mind, where the smallest of things had you spiraling over the edge. He wanted to make you feel better, but he didn't always know how to.

And now, he was entirely at a loss, watching you become increasingly frustrated with every outfit choice you tried out. He begrudgingly watched you unravel as you threw on different combinations of tops and bottoms, even trying out a couple of dresses, just to huff and discard them somewhere else in your shared bedroom, the space as chaotic as your mood. He couldn't grasp what the problem was. In his eyes, you looked great, hell, you looked stunning in every outfit you put on, but somehow you couldn't see it. You twirled around in the full-length mirror aimlessly, eyes scanning over every little flaw and imperfection, letting your negative thoughts run wild. Never mind the fact that the two of you would likely be late to the event, Toji was more worried about how you were going to act throughout the night if you were feeling badly about yourself. He hated when you were upset, and he was racking his brain for something comforting to say, but was coming up short.

You tried on another dress, one that hugged your curves. You frowned and turned to the side, your eyes immediately falling to the soft curve of your stomach. Toji watched you suck in and flatten your palm over the bump. He shook his head to himself as he watched you grimace at your natural, beautiful body. He was growing impatient.

"You look fine, doll," he finally huffed. "And our room looks like a bomb hit it."

You shot him a withering glance. "I look disgusting. I don't even want to go to this shit."

"(Y/N)..." his tone was full of concern. "Please don't do this. You look fine," he repeated stupidly.

"You're just saying that," you accused, pulling off the dress so that you didn't have to look at yourself in it anymore. "I look awful in everything I try on." You were frowning deeply, and Toji knew he'd have to try harder than that to get you to talk to yourself more kindly.

While you were busy searching through the piles to try on a specific blouse again, Toji came up behind you, lifting you with ease and tossing you onto the bed. You yelped, scrambling to cover your body as he stood at the edge.

"What are you doing?!" You yelled at him. "I need to find something or we're gonna be-"

"We're already gonna be late," Toji interrupted. He crawled onto the bed, not stopping until he had you trapped beneath him. "So we're not going anywhere until you admit that you're the cutest, sexiest, most beautiful girl in the world."

"Looks like we're never leaving the house again, then." You joked bitterly.

Toji slapped your bare thigh, making you yelp again. "Not another bad word about yourself. I fucking mean it."

"I hate the way I look right now, Toji," you admitted, tears prickling in your eyes. "I know it's exhausting. I'm sorry I'm so sensitive."

"Don't go crying on me baby, you know I hate that," Toji said more softly.

"I really don't want to go," you pleaded. The tears started rolling down your cheeks before you could stop them. You felt pathetic.

"Oh, sweetness." Toji rolled to your side, grabbing you and pulling you into his chest. He sat up slightly, and you straddled his lap, crying into his neck. His large hands cascaded down your back, reaching down to grip your bum before gliding all the way up to your hair. "We don't have to go. Would rather have my girl all to myself anyways," he murmured into your hair.

After a moment, you pulled back, and Toji wiped the wetness away from your cheeks with his thumb. "I really don't get what you see," he said. "I think you always look beautiful, no matter what you're wearing." He snuck a peak down at you now, in just a bra and underwear. "Or not wearing." He winked.

You smiled at his perverseness, before glancing down yourself. "But look at my tummy." You grabbed the plush skin.

"What about it?" Toji narrowed his eyes at you, before taking a hand away from your back to grip his own tummy. "I've got some rolls there too. We're sitting. That's normal."

"Barely," you scoffed.

In one swift movement, Toji had you on your back, blowing raspberries into your stomach. You giggled and squirmed, pushing his head away. "You weirdo!" You squealed. "Toji, c'mon, stop it!"

He lifted his head, hooking his hands behind your knees and tugging you towards him. "Your tummy is cute. You're cute." He splayed a hand across your torso. The proximity to your lower region made heat pool in your core.

And, you were slowly starting to believe him.

"Okay, okay fine." You rolled your eyes. "I guess...I'm not so bad looking."

"Not so bad?" Toji scoffed. "Doll, you're a smokeshow."

"You're so old," you laughed at him. "Nobody even says that anymore."

"Don't expect me to go easy on you just because you were crying a minute ago," Toji chuckled darkly, happy to see that you were getting back to your snarky self. He roughly lifted your hips, yanking your panties down your legs. You giggled excitedly as he lowered his head between your thighs.

"Let me show you just how beautiful I think you are."

Jude Jazza - The Abstinent Beast Devours Love

*Fan translation for funsies! IP owned by Cybird, translations are my own and may be inaccurate. 18+ MDNI. See About page for more info.*

:readmore:

The products we handled at Raven became very popular, and we were very busy traveling here and there.

When things finally settled down, I found myself on the bed with him holding me from behind.

But…

(This is no good, this is just not enough Jude for me...)

Maybe it's because I haven't had any contact with him in two weeks, but I can't control my desire and I fidget on the bed.

Jude

“What the hell are ya doing?”

Neema

"Um...”

(I'm sure I'll get teased if I say there isn’t enough Jude…)

I don't want to be teased, but I want to do it. I started thinking about how to set the mood.

Neema

"Jude-"

Jude

"Huh?...Hmm..."

She turned her body around and captured his lips, carrying out her plan to get him in the mood. Her kisses, pecking at him like a little bird, gradually deepened, and she clung to his neck as her tongue met his.

But Jude pulled his lips away.

Jude

"Go to sleep."

Neema

"Huh?"

He pulled the cushion closer and got into a sleeping position.

(…If it comes to this,)

I straddle him as he lies down and shower him with kisses. Then I grabbed his right hand and bit his long fingers sweetly. Jude's eyes widened as he exhaled in annoyance.

Jude

“Do ya really wanna?"

I kiss his fingers and reply.

Neema

“Yes, I do."

Jude

“…I’ve got yer word on that.”

Neema

“Hmm? Whoa!”

A moment later, my vision flips and I am pushed down by him.

Jude

“Ya’ve been sleeping like a baby every night.”

Jude

Just when I thought I had finally settled down, ya come up to me with a dirty look on yer face and ask me out. It really pisses me off.

He bit me on the neck, and my body trembled with a pain stronger than usual.　

I was staring into his feverish eyes, and I almost got scared even though I had invited him to do it.

(When Jude stares at me with those eyes, it is usually when he is going to do something terrible to me...)　

As I had expected, my clothes are torn off in an instant and he twisted the tips of my breasts before I had time to resist.

Neema

"Hiiah."

As I writhed in pain and pleasure, one of his hands reached between my legs, covering the area that was starting to get wet, and began to poke the area just above with his thumb.

Neema

"Ah, wait!”

Jude

"I ain’t gonna wait."

He rubbed hard, and his index finger was buried in the nectar that was overflowing from inside.

I was in a daze from the ecstasy I hadn't felt in a long time, but the attack that followed was much more intimidating than usual.

Neema

"Oh, Jude!”

I'm being stirred and crushed, and I feel like I'm going to explode with pleasure. But, his movements are stopped so many times just before I reach my peak, and I feel an unbearable ache.

Neema

"Why..."

Jude

"Why? Ain’t it obvious?”

As I unconsciously shook my hips and rubbed him against my sweet spot, Jude pulled out his finger and replaced it with something hot.

Jude

"Gonna make you cum right here!"

Neema

"Ahhh!"

In an instant, a shock like a bolt of lightning ran through me from my toes to the top of my head.

With just one thrust, everything went white before my eyes, and he moved his hips violently, not caring that I was already convulsing around him.

Neema

“Wait, wait, ahh!”

The sound of his thrusting was too rough, but my body was delighted for the first time so long that I accepted it.

(It wasn't supposed to be like this…)

I was just supposed to spend a sweet and happy evening with him, but this made me feel like an animal.

The moment he stopped moving and his heat was removed from inside me, I tried to escape to the top of the bed, but he quickly filled me again and I collapsed onto the sheets.

Neema

“Ahh!”

Jude

“Whatcha running away for? Ya asked me for this yerself."　

I turned around fearfully at the voice that came from above. Jude bit my shoulder with a twisted smile.

Jude

"Brace yerself, princess."

That day, I was pawed, teased, and tortured by a beast with amethyst eyes. I was devoured completely, body and soul.

[actual-lea]

So who wants to hear about the stupid stupid way I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3?

I made it to Act 3 on my first (original character) playthrough like a week before Patch 5 came out, and after finding it absolutely unplayable (on the PS5) decided it was time to go ahead and start an origin character run for the funsies while waiting on the new patch to fix the Lag Hell. Naturally, I picked Gale. Since this was mostly just for fun/to hold me over until I could continue my other file, I decided it would be a nice time to see what happens if you just refuse to consume any magic items. Of course, if you are not playing as Gale and ignore his Orb Problem, he will apparently eventually leave your party, but what if you ARE Gale? I couldn't find an answer with a minimal amount of Googling SO

There are three stages to his Arcane Hunger, each of which give you increasingly debilitating debuffs: Arcane Hunger, Greater Arcane Hunger, and Severe Arcane Hunger. It seems the triggers for progressing to the next stage are the same as the triggers where he would start needing an item in my other file (i.e. that bridge next to the Blighted Village, entering the temple at the Goblin Camp, the Hag's Lair, etc.) which obviously makes sense. I figure with the amount of contingencies in this game for incredibly specific situations, surely there is some kind of unique dialog or fun cutscene that will play if I ignore the Arcane Hunger long enough and just play through the debuffs.

I played Act 1 completely normally, doing a lil quicksave every time I was about to Long Rest just in case the game gave me a cutscene of the big explosion upon waking up (I thought maybe it would be time-based, similar to the game over you get if Gale dies and you leave him for 3 days (? I think?) which does not seem to be the case). I made it through basically everything without anything odd happening besides the aforementioned debuffs. The Severe Arcane Hunger is where things get really sloggy, because Gale can only move at half speed.

I have been slowly trudging EVERYWHERE since the Goblin Camp.

I eventually started going out of my way to make sure I hit all the Arcane Hunger triggers I know about, to see what would happen, and the answer is nothing, aside from Gale occasionally reminding me that he's wracked with terrible pain.

So, surely, the game will certainly not let me into the Mountain Pass without SOMETHING happening, right?

WELL

That's surprising, but whatever, at least now I have the chance to see what happens if you go meet Elminster without having consumed any magic items,

Except

He wasn't there.

I went to the area in the Mountain Pass where the cutscene is supposed to start, and it just. Didn't happen. Nothing happened. I could walk right up to the entrance to the next area.

But SURELY, the game won't let me into the gotdamn Shadow-Cursed Lands without saying SOMETHING about the fact that the orb has been starving for several weeks at this point, right? The game isn't going to let me into Act Freaking 2 without at the very least giving me a game over to tell me I'm not allowed to do this and make me reload and actually feed this poor starving wizard, right?

RIGHT?

WELL

WELL

Here we are. I'm at the Last Light Inn, I'm at the Taco Bell, I'm at the combination Last Light Inn Taco Bell with a bag full of delicious Cheesy Gordita Magic Boots that I refuse to eat.

SO LIKE. How far does this go??? Am I gonna be able to infiltrate Moonrise Towers without ever speaking to Elminster? Am I gonna trudge all the way to Ketheric at half freaking speed and fight him with Disadvantage on everything?? Am I gonna make it all the way to goddang Baldur's Gate with a Netherese orb that is long overdue to explode???

Like I said, I did not find an answer on what happens if you do this on a Gale Origin playthrough, and at this point, I don't even want to, I just want to see how far I can take this.

I already know I'll have to do another normal Gale playthrough where I actually FEED HIM after this, because I'm sure I've missed out on a ton of dialogue and whatnot, especially from Tara who only ever has this to say when I speak with her in camp:

I am genuinely beginning to wonder if there is actually nothing in place to stop me from doing this. I am wondering what the dialogue options will look like when I get to the "Heart of the Absolute" where Gale would ordinarily want to blow himself up, if Elminster had ever shown up to tell him to do so. Maybe the devs just didn't bother, and figured that no one would be stupid and stubborn enough to play through the whole dang thing while so severely debuffed.

Joke's on them, Disadvantage means NOTHING to Magic Missile Machine Gale Dekarios.

[angelyuji]

Can we please have more Debbie and Nolan perhaps :)

hello my silly! of course i can give you more since you asked so nicely :3 also just a quick update i have like 15 things in my drafts that im writing for requests and for funsies and i promise i will get them out!!

i wasn't sure what to write, but then i had a vision sent from the lord himself kind of an alternate ending about this situation i wrote

cw // kidnapping, mentions of a punishments, angst, usual yandere behavior, emotional manipulation

"shit shit shit' you couldn't tell what was left or right. you hadn't even realized you had started running when you stepped out of the house.

you sit down, exhausted from the normal chaos. you enjoy the silence in the house after being left alone. your eyes fall on the open front door and you sigh, “gosh, debbie…” you walk over, hand ready to close it when you pause. it’s open. for the first time since you were brought here, they left the door open. you carefully stepped out, unsure if some alarm would go off and nolan would come flying back. the quiet neighborhood greets you.

soon, you found yourself lost downtown. your legs were screaming in pain and you let yourself pause, finding a bench to rest on. 'fuck fuck fuck' you were lost in the middle of the city and you didn't even have a phone. nolan had thought it was best you didn't have one and now you know why. you look around, recognizing one of the street signs. you quickly make your way back to your old apartment.

"hey!" you rush in, out of breathe. the apartment manager startles.

"(y/n)? what the hell? where have you been?" he gets over the initial shock and quickly starts to fume.

you let out an awkward laugh, "yeah sorry, some... stuff happened."

he sighs and gives you a pointed glare, "you should be glad i found another tenent so quickly or the landlord would've had your head."

"yeah about that, do you still have my stuff? i think i left my wallet-"

he waves you off, "yeah yeah, i figured you'd come running back for your shit. didn't think it'd take 4 months, but it's in that closet over there." you thank him profusely and he looks at you weird, but you let it go.

you dig through and pack your important belongings into a suitcase you had, thankfully, bought on a whim during a drunk online shopping spree. you quickly shoved your things in and leave, thanking the man once more. he rolls his eyes, but wishes you luck.

you managed to find a working payphone, in a mostly deserted area, and fish a couple cents from your wallet. "hello?" your mother's voice filters through and a wave of relief washes over you.

"mom." your voice cracks as you feel a sob choking you.

"sweetheart? where are you calling from?" you could hear the worry in her voice.

"a payphone. listen, mom, i need your help. nolan and debbie-"

"oh my goodness, they are such a lovely couple, aren't they? i'm so glad you started working-"

"MOM! please, just... just listen please." you could hear the desperation in your own voice and you could tell your mother could too.

"(y/n), what's going on." before you could respond, a rush of wind almost knocks you off your feet. a sob breaks through as you feel the familar presence of your captor. "sweetheart?" your mom's voice sounds faint as the phone drops from your hand.

"(y/n)." nolan's voice comes out thin and angry. "tell your mother that you're alright." his voice comes out low as he grips your bicep, pulling you up. nolan uses a hand to wipe your tears before handing you the phone.

you nod, tearfully, "mom... i'm sorry. i'm okay, i just had a rough day so i wanted to call you."

"oh my baby, you know you're welcome home anytime. tell them to give you a couple days off and call me more often, your texts are so short." she huffs, soundng relieved to hear you. you hum, knowing that if you spoke, you would've broken down. she continues to talk, but you feel nolan's grip tighten on your bicep.

"mom, i'm sorry, but i have to go." you choke out the words and your mother frets, telling you to call her again. "i love you, mommy." you feel your throat tighten again.

your mom coos, "i love you too, my little angel." you hang up the phone.

his hand wraps around your waist, gripping tight. you notice your suitcase in his other hand. "nolan- wait-" he doesn't listen, launching into the air. you throw your arms around his neck, heart beating loud in your ears. it felt like your skin would've blown clean off if he hadn't stopped in the house. you felt whiplashed, head spinning, taking in the short trip back to the house. you feel nolan leave your side with your suitcase. you had half a mind to stop him from leaving with your most important documents, but you could barely concentrate on trying to breathe.

"why?" debbie's voice brings you back to reality. your eyes focus on her red eyes and puffy face, tears still streaming down her face. "why did you leave, (y/n)? why- how could you? after-" she chokes on her words, but you're silent. her eyes take in your face before looking you up and down. upstairs, mark starts to wail and debbie shakes her head. "punish her how you see fit, nolan."

you spent a month in the basement. occasionally, nolan would come down to feed you food and water. he would talk to you as he forced you to eat, telling you how disappointed he was and how heartbroken debbie is. "we trusted you, (y/n)." "we love you so much and this how you repay us?" "do you know how much debbie cried, how much mark cried?" you never responded, staring at the wall behind him, but the tears dripping down your cheeks told nolan all he needed to know.

not to leave u guys on a cliffhanger but i had some other stuff to talk about to teehee

atp you're pretty broken so there isn't really a need to "punish" you but nolan leaves you down there anyway

debbie is sooo hurt about what you did, like she loves you and you abandon her????

i dont think they'd physically hurt you but emotional manipulation and solitary confinement is pretty hurtful :P

nolan already guessed (after the conversation with ur mom) that he's successfully broken you down

now it's up to them to make you fully rely on them

food, water, comfort, safety, everything you have is because they gave it to you

dw tho once nolan and debbie feel like you've been successfully stockholm'd and they feel like they can trust you again, they'll let you talk to your family and friends

ALSO i have more to say about punishments

i was wondering to myself if nolan or debbie would ever feel that angry to the point of physically hurting you

and i could only think of a couple instances

if you fought back during your escape, nolan would def dislocate your shoulder or some shit out of annoyance

but if you put mark in danger, nolan AND debbie would be furious

like to the point of harming you

i don't think you would do that tho, not to my ickle baby markie poo

he's basically your son too so that'd be kinda fucked up teehee

i wanna go more in depth abt punishments but i feel like this post is already getting too long lol

BYCHANCE HINTS - Chance + 22 ( + 1 )

bychance menu

alright, boys--here we go again. i'm expanding on the 7 instances I counted of 'chance' appearing close to '#22'. as I mentioned before, this is my main reason for thinking that: # chance and will are tethered by this number throughout s4 & this will pay off in S5.

not only that, but there seems to also be some type of association to henry/001/vecna going on too-- which i won't touch on much for now bc that mfer drains me fr. my working theory about him, though, which is subject to change as is everything i talk about related to bychance, is that bychance & mileven are mirror relationships, and part of henry's strategy--these relationships are convenient to him. to keep in mind before delving in:

S4 THEME: CHARACTERS TAKING CHANCES / RISKS TO BEAT THE ODDS in general terms, throughout the season, our characters lie, steal, cheat, manipulate, break the law, act/wear disguises, and take risks and chances both in their personal lives and to confront the supernatural.

Dustin recruits Suzie to hack into the school system and change his grades, El lies in her letter, Max pretends she's just 'changed' now but is fine, Will is painting for someone he likes and won't show anyone, Jonathan is smoking weed, Nancy is pretending her and Jonathan are fine, the list goes on and on.

In the supernatural, Nancy and Robin pretend to be psychology students, the team steals a van, Lucas pretends to be in on hunting Eddie, they lie to the police at the Wheelers, etc, you get the idea.

this chance + 22 association could just be symbolic throughout the season to remind the audience of the theme of odds and chances, and the number 22 is specifically related there as meta commentary from the writers:

"what are the odds we truly did forget about Will's birthday? Chances are, we didn't."

not far-fetched, given that we know Will's emotional arc ties the whole series together--anything else related to Chance as a character could just not be intentional since he was likely not designed to be a significant character at all. after all, Shawn Levy said very few things are a coincidence in the show, he didn't say nothing is a coincidence--continuity errors can occur and are human, after all.

However, this doesn't answer my main question: why tie the theme to a specific character by NAMING him such? the psychospiritual implication of that alone is not only insane, but meta as hell. the writers essentially personified the concept of 'Chance' the same way they did 'Free Will' through Will. That doesn't smell like an accident/coincidence or continuity error to me. That reeks of carefully placed writing strategy. it's suspicious as fuck. i'll make a post about that later, but for now, let's review the evidence.

#1. FIRST TIME Chance + 22 { player number } + 1 { mascot tiger }

so like i've said 100 times, Chance's jersey number is #22 and that's the first association we make with him. this is significant to me because if i am right that this is strategically placed here to get us to pick up on it subconsciously, ( or so the writers hope ) then this is what we stay with throughout the season--we piggyback onto this association, if you will, to help us make the connections the writers intent throughout. it's an anchor point.

i mean, now that i've pointed it out, go rewatch the sequence for yourself with this in mind--here are the key moments i'm basing myself off of:

Like uh ... not the #22 + Tiger Pride in BRIGHT. ORANGE in the crowd right before we learn there's a #22 PLAYER ... surely that means nothing & the writers just put it there for funsies. Why not Player #12 ( aka Jason, which would've made sense? ) Or #24? Why specifically #22?

I'm not even going to talk about the heart iconography associated to the Tiger Cheer Squad, which follows us all the way into Benny's.

idk about you, but my nogging is like "uh ... i get the feeling the writers want us to notice that huh?" so either i'm right about that, or not. i'll let you decide what makes sense to you.

ADDENDUMS: a). LOSS IN THE COMMUNITY talking about my brain liking making connections it perceives as intentional from the writers, that line of dialogue from Jason also reminds me of S1. and with all of the S1 callbacks throughout S4, I wouldn't be surprised that was the point since both scenes occur at a school gym.

It's giving "Hawkins is not the same without you." which is to say, you can also find some of the clues and hints i point out here in Mike's speech to Will in EP4, and Will's speech to Mike in EP8--in fact, I think it's all connected. I'm pretty sure bychance subtext doubles as byler subtext in some form, i just haven't figured out how exactly yet.

b). #22 BEHIND STEVE & HIS DATE ( ft. 69 )

Something about #22 being a date associated to Will + in this instance it appears behind a superficial couple ( "Do I really want to start another relationship based on sex?" Steve @ Robin scenes earlier ) on a date ... as Lucas scores. Not the very obvious 69 too as he does ...

I'm also going to bring your attention to this bright, bold red #8 above Chance's head right before the game begins to lowkey help us momentarily associate Chance with Lucas/#8.

Speaking of Lucas and 69, we do have that direct association between Lucas and this number later in the season, but you won't believe what I noticed as I went to look for Chance + 22 #4 ... since we're talking about first times here, the first time we see that sign @ Benny's ...

💀💀yup. it's near Chance as he ( wears red ) cruises through the screen after a Seemingly Very Unnecessary Chance Scene. Blinks at those Christmas Lights to bring the point home further since we do associate Will with Christmas Lights in S1.

if I'm correct to make an association between Lucas and Chance, however, the first thing that comes to mind is that Lucas is a traitor this season--on one hand, he's trying to fit in with the Tigers, but is also pretending to be on Eddie's trail to protect his friends. He's a double agent and never really intended to betray his friends.

I see Chance being an 'Upside Down' version of this next season--he's sneaking around with Will { a member of Hellfire } but is a jock at heart and doesn't intend to leave the basketball team to join Will and the freaks, even if he leads Will on to think that at first.

back to the game ... the girl is wearing triangles ( her earrings ), which as we know via the costume department, is used as a form of queer-coding.

c). RED TRIANGLES This reminded me that in Lenora, there's a Chance-lookalike near Will/behind El wearing red triangles ( & moreover, the tone of red used here reminds me of the color of the #22 + Tiger Pride sign @ the rally, though I do think that one's more of an orange hue ) in his shirt--this could be queer-coding for both El and Will, which I'm assuming could also represent love triangles & hint at them being in one.

We see Chance lookalike #1 again near the bullies when they're taunting El. If we want to say it serves a double purpose, then Lenora Bullies = Hawkins Tigers, since they serve a similar narrative function.

#2. CHANCES OF SUCCESS. Chances + 20-to { 22 } + 1.

This one's self-explanatory but I want to add that out of all these 4 players, Chance is the only one that's on the bench, which makes it feel unnecessary to have him here.

It's giving Vecna's reveal strategy. ( We'll place this dude here for no reason, don't pay TOO much attention! )

#3. PARTY @ BENNY'S Chance + 22 { years }

another one that's self-explanatory. We see Chance, and a few moments later, the number 22 makes an appearance. but I have a couple addendums.

ADDENDUMS: a) HOOP EM UP |while looking for the screenshots for this, I noticed it's the second time we see Chance near that 'hoop 'em/it up' sign. Strange, considering Chance never even came off the bench, huh? SUSPICIOUS AF. It's giving "this guy never even came off the bench and he still hooped it up."

b) MIKE/CHANCE OVERLAYED also, i noticed that the way Chance is a bit further away from the group is very similar to Mike in the literal next shot, & they're even in the same position frame-wise.

it's like they're being singled out.

( lmfao the 'yeah, man' and 'yes'. The mirroring is painful )

i mean, it becomes more noticeable given the way Jason calls him over and asks "Hey, Jed, you coming?" as if he noticed he was drifting away & that's what gets him to reintegrate himself into the group.

at this point if i knew that Vecna was targetting a basketball player, but didn't know who, i would've assumed it would be Chance, tbh. but he lived. perhaps bc Vecna has Other Plans for him.

so i went back to double check and ... yeah, that's the most noticeable instance, but not the only one. we see Chance standing in the same spot as Mike here too:

Tigers with their hands over their hearts to pledge allegiance to their country. ( my mind immediately went 'dark!paladin pledging an oath' ) and then we see Mike cruise through the screen right after Chance was center-frame ( even though the focus was on Lucas. Again, it's giving 'Vecna reveal strategy' ).

Buuttt that's not all. Remember that scene before where I said it felt unnecessary to have Chance there since out of the guys we saw, he was the only one on the bench? Yeah, well ...

the literal scene before, Mike was standing where he is. The context of the two scenes is different so i can't draw a one-for-one comparison, so i won't get into it much but visually, what a GA member picks up on subconsciously is Erica = Patrick, Dustin = Jason and Mike = Chance.

#4. TARZAN BOY Chance { song lyrics } + 22 { video camera }

Now, this one's not as obvious. We got #22, yes, as the actual date ( March 22nd ) being shown to us via El in the video camera. But where's the 'chance'? Well ... before the song was switched to Wipeout, the song playing was Tarzan Boy. These were the last lyrics we heard:

And then it stopped.

*takes a deep breath.* do i even ... need to explain this one? im tired. Tarzan Boy, a QUEER song, stopping RIGHT after the word 'Chance', only for us to see #22 AGAIN in a context with music/a party atmosphere and a DIRECT callout to March 22nd.

look at me in the eye and tell me with a straight face this means nothing at all.

ADDENDUMS: a) ANOTHER TRIANGLE ON A BULLY. & this one's even wearing glasses which reminded me of Mike at the airport and the 'party' bullies in the first episode that Eddie called out ( which also vaguely reminded me of the rink-o-mania bullies ) right before queer-coding the basketball team AND basketball as a game together ( thanks, king. RIP you will be forever missed ).

But that must just be coincidence, huh?

#5. LOOKING FOR REEFER RICK Chance { word 'chances' } + 22 { forgotten birthday movie }

Another one that's pretty self-explanatory if you look closely enough. And what's funny about this one is that it connects directly from the word 'chance' to a movie about a forgotten birthday, so i'm counting it as #22 + chance atp there's been FOUR previous associations to sustain this one.

As if it wasn't obvious already we're meant to associate Chance to Will's forgotten birthday for some reason.

#6. BARGAINING Chance { word } + 22 { Twenty-two }

Another one that's also self-explanatory ... or as I like to say nowadays, effective af. Murray uses the word 'chance', and then moments later while they're bargaining a price, he casually throws in '22' thousand.

But surely, this is just Coincidence #6.

ADDENDUMS: a) MARCH 22ND That is, unless you're as unhinged as me. Because Joyce's presence, the appearance of #22 and a 'traitor' being tied up reminded me of ...

The Time when we First learned that March 22nd was Will's birthday. Damn. Maybe that was the point, maybe not. I'll let you decide ( me personally? IM GOING FREAKING INSANE THEY'RE BOMBARDING US )

#7. LAST TIME 22 { death toll right after Will } + Chance { season's last use of the word, by Will Byers himself }

Speaking of first times and second chances. Unlike the other entries in this list, these do not happen within moments of one another, but atp the association has been so blatant this is hardly a reach--these instances happen several scenes later, but they're in the same episode. Consider this: these are the last times we see #22 and hear the word chance this season--& Will's involved in both. And to bring this home further, we also see Mike in both instances as well. btw, if you're curious, the first one to use the word 'chance' this season, is Lucas.

right after he talked about wanting things to be "different." another word associated to Will. but that must just be yet another coincidence.

ADDENDUMS: a) THE RETURN OF NO LONGER WILL? The placement of the rod though Will's head reminded me of the comparison the writers drew between Will and Phineas Gage in S2.

As in, yknow, the man that, after an accident at work had a 'change to his personality' and started acting in a way that was uncharacteristic enough of him it got his friends and family to call him 'No Longer Gage.'

I'd say 'dating' a bully { that's part of the very same bullies terrorizing Hellfire } in secret would be quite uncharacteristic of Will, wouldn't it? Queue Bychance as a coping mechanism as Will deals with the new horrors + all of his compound trauma.

CURRENT CONCLUSION

Chance is coming out of the bench in S5, and I'm ready to defend Will for it.

[whatudowhennooneseesyou]

In your opinion, who gives the best oral in STRAYS KIDS?

D e t a i l s

My gemini stellium wants it

Okay- okay because you've asked nicely and asked for details.

Sag/Gemini/Virgo/Taurus/Aries are usually known for being the best placements for oral because they have influence over the mouth and tongue.

Disclaimer: 18+ and I'm using astrology so this is for funsies.

So of course- chan chan and uh chan.

Yep- the smut is all accurate- when he confessed he loved feeling needed- he genuinely loves feeling fkn NEEDED.

With his Libra placements and Sag Mars= MESSY!

The type to REALLY get into and make the loudest moans and spit on your cunt and enjoy watching his saliva and your slick just stain his fingers and the sheets below you.

There would be moments where he'd want to skip the foreplay completely and be desperate to bury his cock into you.

But you fkn bet he would beg and edge you with oral if he wants to tease, to lick around your clit instead of sucking on it or to finger you instead of sucking your clit at all...enough to push to the edge but not enough to go over.

And he's VOCAL!!! Duh, we've heard the way he moans with his Bubble messages.

'Mmmm, there's my good pussy just gushing for me already, your moaning is not going to help babygirl. If you want to cum, you have to say please'.

The begging kink is so obvious with this man, he's not even trying to hide it.

The next one to be great at oral is...LEE KNOW!!!

When I tell you ppl with a Virgo Mars is slept on...people with a Virgo Mars are fucking SLEPT ON when it comes to sex because they are one of the most service-oriented ppl when it comes to sex.

Lee Know would be more calculating and more sensitive to your emotions in a way, he would be slower and more precise with his actions.

Would be the type to know your body inside out and know which spot to prod, how to suck your clit JUST right and pop a pillow under your hips so it's at a right angle for the ultimate pleasure.

Lee Know is a soft dom through and through and would worship you with the prettiest of praises and soft moans.

'no no no no, I just want you to lie here while I make you feel good okay honey? Because you deserve it and I want to give it to you'

Okay, I honestly think even if they're absolute pro's at oral, they're all going to give their best to ensure you completely fall apart from their fingers.

But I'm also going to add Hyunjin and Jeongin to this because!!!

They both have Aries placements (Hyunjin has an Aries Mars and Jeongin has an Aries Venus) and this fiesty, masculine, feral unhinged energy to their personality means they're probably the type to be rough, quick, primal and messy.

No build-up, just straight up diving in and spitting and drooling over your clit as they leave bite marks over your thighs and um...they may enjoy an extra layer of filth and incorporate cum play into as well.

Jerk themselves and use their cum as lube, overstimulate you and use the cum dripping out your bruised and raw cunt to suck your swelling clit more.

I've noticed out of most zodiac signs, Aries in these placements are the type to most enjoy using cum over lube- there's that slight sadistic streak of the friction from the lack of lube helping you further cry and writhe under them.

'Such a dirty, filthy messy slut for me, look at you leaking everywhere, keep crying for me my love and I'll use those tears to stretch you out even more'.

Always was, always will be on the field of Hyunjin and Jeongin being the hard, sadistic doms of Stray Kids.

Tagging all my skz babes for this post @torialefay @youre-alittle-taste-of-hell @gnabnahcsworld @lyramundana @leenaur @wisejudgedragonhairdo @berryberrytan @daddysspecialdollyworld @bangchanbabygirlx @scuzmunkie @umbralhelwolf @escapetheshark

[gotigersiguess]

So I've seen a couple of posts about the possibility of Will having a new love interest in season 5 and I have some opinions. I feel like people saying that Will can move on and fall in love with someone else don't take into account the simple fact that this is a TV show and not a real life situation. Will is a fictional character with a specific arc that should end in a more or less satisfying resolution. ST is not some gritty drama, it's a coming of age story with nostalgia and eldritch horror sprinkled in for some funsies. Every character should finish the story with lessons learned. So, what kind of resolution should we expect for a selfless queer boy who has to understand that he is deserving of love he so desperately wants? That he's not some mistake that should settle for less?

Also, that Chekhov's gun painting has to be addressed because it still didn't serve it's purpose in the story. It's a plot device. It's introduced for a reason.

So, here are our options:

The painting lie is revealed, the conflict that follows ends in Mike accepting him and Will moving on. No new romantic interest is introduced. Will is proven right. He is the only character without any romantic prospects for him in the main chunk of the story. Maybe a guy will wink at him in the epilogue. Why would we need to bury our gay if can just make him miserable (but not like all the way and overtly miserable). He has a future, see! He's fine! It's just a devastating real life lesson! That's what Stranger Things is about after all /s.

The painting lie ends the same way as in option 1. Will's coming of age arc ends in him moving on and falling in love with a random plot device character introduced at the start of the season. Somehow, among the horrors and monsters, Will has time to hook up with a random guy. They live happily every after. Rushed and badly written ending for one of the main protagonists, but I guess you tried? Could work if that plot device character was introduced very early on (like season 4) and given depth. Could also work if we resolved the painting situation in season 4. Otherwise, wild choice, but it's better then the first option.

The painting lie ends in Mike understanding and accepting Will while simultaneously propelling Mike's arc of self-acceptance. Climactic! Lot's of fun choices here. Then, follows the falling action. Characters grow, fun stuff. We finally reached the resolution of their arcs. This time it leads to Will being proven wrong. The person he loves and tries to let go off, reciprocates his feelings. Makes sense. Makes for a satisfying ending, happy one on the love-interest front. We've being through hell and can finally be together in the end. Love conquers all, yadda yadda.

I really don't see any other way this could go, honestly. Maybe some very clever and secret option 4.

Would option 3 happen? I sure hope so, otherwise I would question screenwriter's choices. Why put themselves in a mess if you don't want to resolve it in a satisfying way? There was no need for Will to be in love with Mike. Does it help Will's arc in any way? Sure, it ties in with his sexuality stuggles and helps him feel less like a mistake because loving Mike feels natural for him. But this also hinders his arc and creates a whole lot of problems if not resolved properly.

There's also a burning question of Mike's character arc and how much the choice of roping him into a love triangle helps in pushing him towards self-acceptance. Let's face it, Mike's resolution has to be him accepting himself and maturing. Whether it is his struggles with sexuality or his issues with pretending to be someone he's not because of his insecurities. How does Will's love tie into this? How does the painting tie into all of this? Would Mike finding out that someone loves him for who he is end in him...

1. Being with that person and coming to terms with his sexuality because of that

or

2. Understanding that he should be himself around his girlfriend, that he should be communicating his needs and listening to El's needs, that he should stop idolizing El and start seeing her as a real person and not some hero from his comic books.

The second option puts Will once again into position of a couples counselor for the straight main couple of the show. That's the highest level of friendzoning known to man (not to mention what a weird writing choice this is).

Hey since Ford won the mpreg poll-

Is DD Ford now the Virgin Mary figure of his (cult) church?

....More like

Also, just for funsies:

DD Ford: -calls Sherman into the the living room, looking perturbed- "Sherman, I have some...news."

Sherman: -concerned- "Are the kids okay? What happened?"

Ford: "The Children are fine, they're with Stanley and that friend of his. "

Sherman:  "Good, okay. So...what's wrong?"

Ford: "I..well..there's no easy way to say this....but my God (and the people of the internet, apparently) have chosen me to be...a vessel."

Sherman: "....What."

Ford: "Yes, I've won some sort of contest and I have been chosen as a vessel for my God's...new coming. Of sorts."

Sherman: " .....You won the tumblr 'get that man pregnant' poll, and that stupid Nacho of yours is going to 'Alessa Gillespie' you?"

Ford: "I...what? I don't...who's Alessa Gillespie?"

Sherman: "How have you never heard of Silent Hill? You're living it! Sortof."

Ford: -shrugs- "Anyway, I'll need your help with preparations-"

Sherman: "No. No fucking way, Ford. I'm not going anywhere near whatever the hell comes out of you."

Ford: "Wha-but Sherman, I'm pregnant! Whether I wanted this or not, it's...happening. And I'll need help! Lord knows Stanley won't do anything to help."

Sherman: "And honestly, no he shouldn't. But no, I don't know what your God is made of. I don't know what a child made from, what, Dark Matter, exploded Dwarf Stars and Voodoo, would do to.. anything! Everything! I'm not going to be part of the coming of a new Nightmare child."

Ford: "Sherman, please! I'm still your brother, and I don't know anything about raising children, much less half Gods. You raised Jason and he turned out to be a wonderful young man! And Dipper and Mabel are such smart, caring, sweet children."

Sherman: "....Goddamnit Ford, fine. But I'm only going to be at the birth for observation, and I'll be taking notes through the child's development and my notes WILL be going into research papers and books. I suppose I can give you some of Jason's old things to help out. But if you try to make me worship that kid, I'm sending it to live with it's father!"

Ford: "...Fair enough."

[z0mb1epuzzy]

could you do something involving reader and chris and or josh, (maybe even both!! lol) with aphrodisiacs?

chris becoming all needy and impatient..

god I NEED them both so badly

slobbering everywhere rn hell yes i can!!!!!!

okay so with this concept i’m going for the cliche “aphrodisiac candy” thingy so consent doesn’t feel ambiguous.. but erm..

.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.

josh!

it was obviously his idea to take them, y’know? he thought it would be a fun little bit of extra spice, nothing he couldn’t handle! buuut OOOH boy.

you take one, he takes one, and you have about 20 minutes before they hit… which makes josh feel a little cocky… he’d have his little “this edible ain’t shit!” moment, like you’d have to forcibly stop him from taking another one.. best compromise would be half..

but the second it DOES hit. and it DOES… bro is genuinely so feral. his ass can barely sit through foreplay just became you’re literally right fucking there, and he needs you BAD. “fuck, c’mon gorgeous, don’t make me wait..” (giving you those puppy eyes UGH!) while he’s squishing your thighs or waist in his hands just for some semblance of self restraint?? anything to relieve some of that tension that has him so unbelievably fucked up for you.

when you’re.. y’know, prepped enough and everything, he’s IMMEDIATELY all up on you, rutting into you while you’re on your back, your thighs around his waist.. you two get about two rounds in, then a little break, and maybe one more after..

nooww for chris…

i can’t see this being his idea, but maybe a suggestion from josh?? either way, he’s highkey nervous… like bro is reading EVERY instruction and nutrition fact (predominantly bc he’s scared it’ll do something to you)(i love a concerned king)

once he gets through all of that anxious overanalyzing, he’s content to take one… maybe even just a half? to see how it works? either way, he’s not gonna go the josh route and try and take two for funsies…

some little voice in my head is telling me that it hits chris a bit quicker, which is partially psychological but regardless… he spends the downtime focusing on you, y’know.. making sure ur ready for all of the insane freaky deaky that’s about to go down.. and the second it REALLY hits.. bro REALLY has to use all of his willpower to not immediately jump straight into it, especially if you get all whiny for him😞. “Look, i know.. fuck..i know you want it- but, you’ve gotta… give me a second..” (he’d sound so pathetic.. little groans while he tries so so hard to hold himself together..)

he’d wanna have you in his lap for this i think.. letting you set the pace so you don’t get too overwhelmed, plus he wants to be able to see your face.. but with enough teasing you could probably get him to snap and take control if u wanted :3

.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.✭.

i live!! sorta. perchance. i also pray that my execution of this concept wasn’t dumb as hell but fuck it we ball😻
