#I was gonna give her twin drills but I really didn't feel like it

[hyperkitten224]

Manager Gangle reminds me of someone a little... hmm...

[mrschristensen]

Sam + Scott as Twins...

I know I haven't posted before, so... Hi! I wanted to possibly start writing on here, and see if anyone liked it. However, I will start by saying I don't write for specific people, I usually just write without "reader" or I write with my OC. I thought I'd just give it a try and see where it goes. So I hope you enjoy! <3

WARNINGS: female (the person who's getting fucked; not "y/n" or "reader" but you can imagine it), porn w no plot, no "established" relationship (until the end), incest (ish?), p in v, oral (m receiving), heavy mentions of breeding (+ birth control mentioned), creampie, degradation/dirty talk, praise, spanking/impact play, slight nipple play, backshots, pet names (baby, princess, honey, slut), aftercare, lmk if I missed any!

WC: 1,069 (haha 69)

"So you really are into both of us," SAM taunts as he drills into her from behind, making her lose his brother's dick from her mouth. He smirks victoriously as SCOTT grunts in frustration, yanking her upper body closer to him. His twin doesn't let that slide, however, gripping her hips even tighter and basically slamming her into him. Her cries of both pleasure and pain were music to his ears, smacking her ass and kneading it to watch it jiggle.

"Jus' lemme at least get the fucking tip in," SCOTT says with a hint of irritation, having to move forward himself now to get closer to her oh so heavenly face.

"How do her tits look?" Sam asks as he relentlessly continues his assault on her cunt, completely ignoring his brother's complaints. He was blinded by his drive for release and pure lust.

"Can't really see 'em from this angle," he replies, tapping her cheek with his throbbing cock head, signaling her to open her mouth.

SAM smacks her ass even harder, making her whine loudly at the feeling of the cold rings on his fingers colliding with her skin. "Arch your back more, slut," he commands, "wanna let him see those gorgeous tits all on display, hm?"

She does as she's told, holding onto SCOTT for dear life now. Her breasts bounced with each erratic thrust, taking at least half of his length as he moved forward a tad bit more, his eyes glued to her.

"That's it, good girl," he groans in praise, his hands tangling in her hair. "Make me feel so good."

"Look at you," SAM growls in her ear, bending down to her current position as he continues to pound her, "so pretty, all for us. Who knew you were such a naughty girl? Taking both of us at the same time..."

"And doing a damn good job at it," SCOTT pants, thrusting into her mouth at the same pace as his brother. Tears started to well up in her eyes, too far gone in pleasure to care.

"Fuck, I'm gonna cum," SCOTT warns, his movements becoming sloppier and more desperate.

"Hold on, 'm almost there," SAM says quickly, increasing his pace impossibly faster, making her moan and create noises of pleasure around his brother's cock. The vibrations got him even closer, knowing he can't hold on for much longer.

"She's close too, can feel it," SAM laughs, grabbing one of her tits and rolling the nipple between his fingers, "taking my cock so good. You gonna milk it, baby? Milk it for all my cum?"

She nods frantically, kissing SCOTT'S tip a few quick times before he shoves his member back into her mouth.

"Gonna be so full, huh?" SCOTT chimes in, smirking a bit.

"Fuck yeah she is," his brother replies, pounding her cunt even harder, "wish she didn't take that stupid birth control. Coulda made her a mommy."

Her walls clench at his dirty words, and he notices quite quickly. "You want that, huh? You want me to get you pregnant with my baby?" he chides, feeling on the brink of release. He could cum from just the thought. "Yeah you do, grippin' me like a fuckin' vice." He looks up at SCOTT. "She prolly wants to get swollen with our baby."

They both smirk at each other, keeping it in mind for another time.

"C'mon, princess," SCOTT encourages, "we're cumming together."

They both keep a fast pace as her muffled mewls are barely heard around his dick, and all three of them climax at the same time, both her pussy and her throat getting pumped with seed.

"Yes!" SAM grunts, both boys tilting their heads back in pleasure, slowly continuing to thrust.

After they come down from their highs, they look down at their girl below them, and the absolute mess her cunt made. Her and SAM'S thighs and some of his abdomen was drenched, as was the floor below. She definitely squirted. Just the simple fact that they brought her that pleasure just made them want to have a round two. But not now.

"Fuck, that was better than I thought it'd be," SCOTT pants, pulling out of her mouth gently and tilting her head up, her teary eyes meeting his blue. "You okay, love?"

She nods slowly, dazed by her intense orgasm, "Yeah... 'm okay."

He smiles a bit, leaning down to kiss her, tasting a slight it of his cum in her mouth.

Reluctantly, SAM pulls out and spreads her cheeks with his thumbs, watching his cum drip from her insides. The sight turned him on even more.

"Don't think I've ever came that much in my life," he comments with a deep chuckle, looking at his brother, "grab a plug from the drawer."

When she heard his words, her eyes widened slightly, but she didn't oppose it. She was on birth control, after all.

SCOTT grabbed a plug, one with a nice, shiny gem on it, and tossed it to SAM, who used his fingers to scoop up and fuck the cum back into her hole.

Still sensitive, she whined and bucked her hips, but he kept her in place, and SCOTT returned right in front of her, bringing her face up once more to keep her bent over for his brother.

"Shh, it's okay," he shushed, tracing her jawline as SAM finished his work and slowly inserted the plug into her pussy.

"You probably feel so good right now," he says with a snicker, bringing her up so now her back is against his chest. "Took us like a champ."

She hummed in content with a small, tired smile, resting her head on his chest as well. He leaned down and kissed her passionately, and SCOTT came in and lifted her by the legs, causing her to yelp.

The two of them just held her there for a few moments, basking in the afterglow together before laying down on the bed with her.

SAM massages her hips as she clings onto him, and SCOTT embraces her from behind, stroking her hair, all while they both give her kisses along her body.

"Wish this could last forever," she says quietly, sighing. The two boys then look at each other, and nod; they knew they wanted this too.

They lean in a bit more, their lips brushing against her ears. "Then let's make it last forever."

(sorry if this was bad!)

i was like 'im gonna do weekly lil comics reactions,' did one, and then immediately skipped two weeks. on brand.

this week: world's finest: teen titans 2, last week knight terrors: action 1 and superman: last days of lex luthor 1, and from a While ago superman: lost 5

WFTT 2:

brief moment of 'who the fuck are lilith and gnaark' but then again almost all of these characters are relatively new to me, so shrugged and carried on

other than that one moment i really appreciate how frictionless this book is in terms of new-reader-friendliness. i gather that's the point of the world's finest imprint rn and it's working. waid is a careful craftsman. sneaking in donna's backstory much appreciated

[i'm thinking of issue 1 of the adult titans by tt, which i stuck my nose into. it was frictionless in terms of team dynamics and friction-filled in terms of newcomer friendliness... taylor titans issue 1 felt like i was walking in on a conversation that's been going on 40 years. this book feels like walking into a room and it's throwing a hand around your shoulders and saying hey come meet the gang (and the gang is interesting).]

lupacchino's art feels like such a good pairing for this. soft edges, exaggerated faces.

interesting choice by bellaire on the coloring to make the horror house/dalisay's mindset of closing in on herself and hiding duller than the vibrant normal, light, teens-hanging-out world.

why garth ourple

knight terrors: action 1

laughed out loud at the last page, which is proooooobably not what a horror comic is aiming for

'nightmare, but an ensemble cast' is. meh for me... the other knight terrors have drilled down onto an individual, but this one, if it IS just one person's nightmare i can't tell who. it would make sense for kon to be afraid of being weaponized into an artificial superman but then the rest of the issue isn't from his pov, it'd make sense for otho and osul to be afraid of cyborg superman who they literally just saw but i don't think they'd have any reason to be afraid of kon specifically turning into that, jonno already has multiple! evil dad supermen to be afraid of and they're not this one, and kenan has yet to be given one (1) single speck of narrative significance so id be surprised if it's his nightmare specifically.

i don't like the homogenizing nature of saying 'this is one of the worst fears all four of you can come up with [you all are afraid of the same thing].' i'd rather have a solo or duo focus on someone who hasn't gotten narrative attention in action or elsewhere. i love the gang but i think this would have been much stronger if it'd been, lets say, just kenan and the twins facing down a cyborg superman telling them they're outsiders/not useful/whatever

some nice touches in the art (otho and osul have been consistently sleeping curled up next to each other on the floor which is a little🥺) but i loooved the coloring. another romulo fajardo jr w, i've loved his work since flashpoint beyond.

meanwhile the power girl story has the opposite problem where it's one character but facing ten different fears. it was kitchen sink-y :(

superman: lost 5

clark continues to be Very Sad. this is like catnip to me. i will read 9000 pages of clark being Very Sad no problem. i love love love the physicality of his issues remembering to breathe and filter his hearing

very funny cover bait and switch

i continue to eat the art in this series it's. so good. the spacescapes are gorgeous the buildings are gorgeous the expressions are wonderful and the colors are perfect. thank you pagulayan thank you cox

also i love it when i am writing a fic where clark gets lasso of truth therapy'd and then i pick up a comic and the exact same thing happens. wmm is giving a thumbs up from the grave about the Power of Therapy Bondage

lois at the end of her rope. frustrated and snippy and inventive and tender all at once. they didn't need to write her sniping at diana's costume but i do like her being overly mad at little things (because she's powerless about the Big Thing)

yandere gl hope is fun. the little detail about the contrectatio destroying her planet sets her story up so well

love it when clark is immune to Sexey Lady Temptress. (hope i dont eat my words next issue but for now) i slide this issue into my demisexual clark folder. maybe they wanted me to believe that he was thinking about it but he literally went 😑💨. ma'am this house is my exact recreation of my childhood home as a way to deal with my trauma and helplessness and i know i put a shower curtain in here so please use it instead of dribbling water on the floor in your seduction attempt

superman: last days of lex luthor 1

you guys i made a noise approximating a lawnmower at the mention of rondors. and the drygur moliom. i made noises out Loud. there might have been a lets fucking goooooo at clark getting pulled outta there at ten dendaro. i am the target audience for this trivia shit.

its been a while since i've read anything with lex fully unleashed in Horrible Evil Bastard Mode and. enjoying it fully. corporate lex is fine whatever i guess but only if they let him off his leash every once in a while to do horrible mad science mass killings to further his little plots

lex's vibes being so rancid that the entirety of the phantom zone was like OUT YOU GO was so fucking funny

some of the smallville sections felt a leeeeeeeettle bit like recap but that's only because i have a dual bachelors degree in Bronze Age Dweebery and Birthright Enjoying so i'm already fully on board with whatever waid wants to do

the only really jarring section to me was the hero worship in kandor. it makes sense to set up the dichotomy between clark and lex and the 'public' attitudes toward them and also makes perfect, economical sense as to why a superman who is more superman than clark would not spend more time in there...it's a good choice for the storytelling... but. i really love kandor's bizarre silver/bronze age culture as a reflection of kryptonian culture, even though it's distorted by the citywide trauma of being in a bottle for years and years, and part of that is a fascinating dual trust and resentment many kandorians feel for superman, who is both their protector and the guy who has made almost no progress getting them out. (until he does). ah well. this comic is not about kandor

'lex freaking luthor' let him say fuck. he killed like 10 people at absolute minimum i think he should say lex fucking luthor. its legal

knight terrors 1-3: a little zzz to me

knight terrors: batman 2: nice, but overall this felt different from the rest of the kt oneshots in a little too 'bruce is the main character of the dcu' way

superman vs meshi: cute <3

superman 2023 annual: artwise had some nice stuff but writingwise only really confirmed my h8er opinion on lois as daily planet editor in chief (why put her into a position that actively takes her away from doing interesting shit)

True FACTS on Timmy!!

Kid never had manners constantly drilled into his head because his parents didn't bother. He had NO teachers to turn to, Crocker was obsessed with exposing his fairies and failing him to KEEP him in his class so he could get his fairies and Mr. Bickles, the drama teacher, was just too dramatic for teaching ELEMENTARY school(seriously dude if you're going to blame kids for shattering your dreams then go teach high school drama, you'd fit right in). And of course Vicky just decided that torturing kids over just ignoring them was more fun.

Yes Timmy did egg her and Francis and Crocker on, but they came after him first so he was just trying to defend himself. If they STOPPED then Timmy would stop too.

And yeah nothing ruined Cosmo and Wanda's marriage other than other fairies interfering. I am positive that Cosmo getting back in touch with his mom caused some of her words on Wanda to seep into his influential braincells that started him on the path of feeling "trapped in his marriage", when in reality he was trapped in his own head, he was back in high school where Popular Girl Wanda was miles out of his league, where Wandisimo/Juandissimo could just easily swoop in and take her away because Cosmo could be easily overpowered by him. And Wanda, already having strained familial relationships with her twin sister and mother(whether she's dead or divorced not sure) and the only fairies in her life to show her unconditional love are her father and his siblings, plus any aunts and cousins too. But that is different love than the love she has with Cosmo but when he starts insulting her, the love they built, well she's going to fight back because that's how Big Daddy raised her, while at the same time her heart just breaks knowing that Cosmo could be just done with her protective side, the side that wants her husband happy but safe, and leave her for anyone because that was what Juandissimo easily did.

Sorry to make this long but I wanted to add with Timmy and Wanda's mother/son relationship and how he ignores her, look at him and his birth mom, not exactly mother of the year. Really aside from Wanda Timmy has no good female role models in his life, Tootie has a typical young girl obsessive crush on him that he does not need, Trixie refuses to express her true interests in favor of staying popular because who would ever like a girl as "pretty as her" if she admitted to liking a lot of more boy oriented things. Vicky's out of the question, even if she and Timmy did share that heart to heart once, she's just too bitter for whatever reason. And for all these not good females in Timmy's life he takes Wanda's protective side as "naggy and un-fun" because for two years of his life he didn't have a warm, loving mom who cared about his safety(ie leaving him with an evil babysitter while she and her husband went out to be basically 20 year olds again) but now he has one again and he doesn't know how to accept that she loves him so much it breaks her heart to see him hurt or scared. Sure she does things to teach him, and Cosmo too, a lesson but she is always right there to protect her family even when she's insulted, because that's what true love is.

Okay this has gone on long enough, sorry. Now I'm gonna go cry because writing this is really giving me the feels. All in all Timmy is a wonderful, sweet kid who has fairy PARENTS not godparents and all the humans in his life are just jerks.

Whenever people hate Timmy Turner it feels like its a personal attack on me. Prob cause my whole blog is about him but also like oh you hate Timmy Turner??? Do you think he's an asshole kid who didn't deserve fairies? BLOCKED we don't need that negativity here. Say you don't understand how neglect affects kids and GO!! "He ruined Cosmos and Wandas marriage" NO WHAT RUINED THEIR MARRIAGE WAS THE "I HATE MY WIFE" JOKES AND THEIR SURGE IN POPULARITY IN THE 2000'S GET A GRIP!!! EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY WERE CLOSE TO BREAKING UP TIMMY WAS LIKE NO!! I AINT LETTING THIS HAPPEN AND TAUGHT THEM HOW MUCH THEY LIKE EACH OTHER AGAIN "He's selfish-" MF I would be a supervillain if I had a babysitter who used medieval torture devices on me and had a teacher who would stalk my every single move and have parents who don't really gaf and r IDIOTS like he is not taught responsibility/stability by anyone except two little magical creatures that were assigned cause he had DEPRESSION!! like bro u don't get him like I do

[tea-twords]

OKAY IM FINALLY GONNA TELL YOU ABOUT THE AU I SHIFTED TO

IM WARNING YOU THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY LONG, AND FULL OF ME RANTING ABOUT MY OWN WEIRD IDEAS, SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

Like I said, it was the Danganronpa Actor Au I thought up, and I've written some of it down (I'm not gonna share though). There's a bunch of rarepair couples in it because I like rarepairs, but there's also some of the normal ones.

So they all attend Hope's Peak, With the SDR2 cast being the oldest ones, the DR1 cast being a year after them, the DRV3 cast being a year after *them*, and then Komaru, Yuta, Natsumi, and Kanon.

Komaru shares the title of SHSL Little Sister with Natsumi, Yuta is the SHSL Track Racer, and Kanon is the SHSL steamstress/tailor. I know Kanon's talent dosen't make much sense for her character, but we had to have a tailor in there somewhere.

Another thing about Kanon, she is Leon's sister instead of cousin, and her full name is Kanon Kuwata instead of Kanon Nakajima. And she is most definitely *not* madly in love with Leon.

Rantaro does have 12 younger sisters in this, and one of them is part of it, her name being Tetsu Amami, and feel free to ask any questions about her, as she does have an interesting backstory! If you want to picture what she looks like, she's almost the spitting image of Kanna Kizuchi. Also, she gets really close to Miu and Kokichi.

Speaking of Miu and Kokichi, they are literally best friends behind the scenes. Them and Tetsu. Inseparable.

Komaru is very protective over Makoto and Toko. Even before hope's peak, Makoto's family practically adopted Toko, due to her rough past. Natsumi is protective over Fuyuhiko and Peko, too, but they don't need as much protection.

Tenko does not hate men. She is nice to all.

Hifumi and Teruteru are not perverts, in any way behind the scenes. After filming, you can see Hifumi profusely apologizing to Sayaka and Sayaka being like "IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT". Same with Teruteru and Peko.

Izuru and Hajime are twins! Izuru has a personality, a great one in fact. Izuru is also exactly 14 minutes older than Hajime, and he will never let him live it down. Their Talents are SHSL Editor (Izuru) and SHSL Hairdresser (Hajime). I know they don't make any sense but hear me out: Izuru keeps his hair really long so Hajime could practice with it. And an editor is needed for the filming and everything, probably.

Izuru and Mahiru are the main camera men! Mahiru does the more difficult shots to film, and she taught Izuru how to film the easier things. They do eventually become a couple❤️

Celeste is quite nicer behind the scenes, actually. And the drills are not fake. That was Hajime's work. The accent is, though. Speaking of Celeste, Sonia is her blood related older sister from Noveselic! Her full name is Celestia Nevermind.

Chihiro's a bit different, too! He was originally a bit embarrassed about having to wear a skirt, but once he actually put it on, he felt like the king he is. He's also less timid and meek. He still is, of course, but if you offered him $50 if he said "Fuck", he would do it without hesitation, much to the surprise of literally everyone. Then he'd hold out his hand like "There, I said it. I want my money now."

Byakuya is not an asshole. He was at first, but he dropped it once he got close to everyone. It was Komaru that nudged him to drop it, so they are pretty close and Komaru also gives him her protection.

Tsumugi is the one who wrote all of the scripts, and pretty much came up with everything herself. We respect her for that in this Au.

Nagito and Mikan met a little while before Hope's Peak. They were friends when they arrived and joined their class.

Junko voiced all of the Monokuma's. All of them. Monokubs as well. She has really good voice talent, though being the SHSL Model. She did the "So long, bear well!" Thing with all five voices at once. It's literally scary, Chihiro once cried out of fear.

Hiyoko is not mean! At all! She's just as innocent as she looks, and didn't swear at all before they began to film. Fuyuhiko had to teach her how to swear without stuttering. Mahiru was horrified.

Although everyone is friends with pretty much everyone, there are a few little groups in them. The one of focus mostly is Tsumugi, Kaede, Shuichi, and Rantaro. Tsumugi killing off Rantaro and Kaede first, and it being her doing all along was just her being a friend:). Also love suites. Love suites were to just to torture poor Shuichi. They had to act them out. Not the actual...like...that..., Just the dialogues and the motions. Which are still pretty fucking embarrassing to act. Shuichi cried during the filming of a total of 6 love suites.

Himiko👏can👏do👏magic👏! Magic is real here. Himiko has been blessed with the magic. She can float things, and saw people in half, and escape water tanks and things like that. But there is truly no trick, only maaaagiiic.

Now for the part you all like: Tickles. Tickles happen very often. Very very often. Himiko actually had learned that she could tickle people with her Magic. Kokichi runs in the room with his class, screaming, telling them to run for their lives, for Himiko is unstoppable now. Nearly the whole class fucking books it out of the room, Maki, Kirumi, Kork, and Ryoma sitting there like "Aha I'm in danger", while Tsumugi and Angie laugh in not being ticklish.

Hrjsjjehejeheuahe thank you for reading this far and listening to my rant about my Alternative Universe Fantasies, everyone is 100% free to ask any questions!

crossposted on wattpad and ao3

Keeping up appearances as Harry's girlfriend was harder than [Y/N] had originally thought.

It was odd having a boy a year younger than her, one that she had always seen as a brother, guiding her around like a well-intentioned puppy. Not only was it odd, it was awkward.  Harry tried his best to act like the whole debacle was normal, but it was easy to tell that he was put off by pretending to be someone's boyfriend.

He now walked her to class and carried her books. He even held her hand when he felt like someone was watching them. She had begun to hang out with him and his friends on trips to Hogsmeade, and not to mention supporting him at every Quidditch match. It would've been a wonder if Cedric and Cho hadn't seen the two at that point.

The Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor had been all anyone had been talking about all week. Whoever won was going on to play against Slytherin in the finals, and the crowds were eager to see the results.

The same excited chatter filled the stadium as it always did, and the seats were nearly filled to bursting. Blue and silver colored scarfs and sweaters decorated one side of the stadium and red and gold the other. The atmosphere of any Quidditch match at Hogwarts was usually above and beyond, and this one wasn't any different.

[Y/N] had taken her seat amongst the heart of the Gryffindor stands, perfectly posed for her facade of supporting Harry. It wasn't like she wouldn't support her friend if they weren't pretending to be a couple, but she might've been sat away from the action if she wasn't.

To complete the illusion, the girl was wearing a Gryffindor sweater. She had borrowed it from Hermione, although the rumors that were circulating said it was Harry's. She smiled in satisfaction, knowing that if who her sweater belonged to was amongst the gossip this week, then perhaps word of her and Harry's "relationship" had reached Cedric and Cho.

Hermione and Ron sat on her right engaged in conversation, but she herself was studying the faces in the stands and keeping her eyes peeking for the one and only Cedric Diggory. They had sat together once or twice before, whenever Cedric wasn't playing. She remembered the times fondly, even if not many words were spoken. She crossed her heart that Cedric would repeat the past and sit with her, although she knew it was a foolish notion. He would probably sit with the Ravenclaw section to support Cho, like she was supporting Harry.

"Whatcha lookin' for?"

She practically jumped out of her own skin when she heard Cedric's voice. He definitely wasn't supposed to be in the Gryffindor cheering section!

"Uh—just watching everyone warm up." [Y/N] covered, her face flushed.

Cedric nodded and turned to look down at the pitch. Luckily, both teams were actually running drills on the pitch before the match began. Cho was currently weaving up and down the field, preparing to catch the snitch. Harry was also on the field, although currently in a huddle with the Weasley twins and Oliver Wood.

[Y/N] looked up from the Gryffindor team and back at Cedric.

"If you don't mind me asking, what brings you up here?" She asked, her palms slightly sweaty.

Cedric chuckled. "I came to sit with Mikey and Curtis like I usually do, but it seems like they decided to clear out." He shifted his glance from the field and onto the girl in the Gryffindor sweater.

"I could ask you the same." He joked, giving the girl a nod. "Last I checked you weren't a Gryffindor."

[Y/N] laughed at that one. She gave the handsome boy a shrug.

"Well I—"

"Wait, lemme guess." Cedric turned his entire body away from the pitch and towards the girl. His brow furrowed and he rubbed his chin as he pretended to theorize. "You and Potter."

She gave him a nod, and watched as he shook his head.

"I'm gonna be honest," He laughed as he leaned over the railing of the stands. "I didn't wanna believe it when I heard it."

What was that supposed to mean? [Y/N] looked at him once more, her own brow furrowed.

"How come?"

"Well, I consider both you and Harry my friends. It just caught me by surprise when I heard about you two being a couple. I didn't know you two really knew each other."

The same could've been said for him and Cho.

"Yeah, we'd talked before. He asked me out to Hogsmeade about two weeks ago." The lie came out of her mouth like clockwork. She'd been telling the story that she and Harry had made up for the past week and a half, but she couldn't help but feel slightly upset telling Cedric. She'd been waiting all this time to plant the seed of her master plan, but it didn't feel right.

"Enough about me." [Y/N] quickly said before her disappointment could seep through the cracks. "What about you and Cho?" She attempted to wag her eyebrows, another sorry attempt to seem lighthearted.

Cedric laughed. Although, one could hardly call it a laugh. More so, he let a puff of hair blow out of his nose.

"We broke up."

Merlin's beard.

[Y/N] stared at Cedric for longer than she'd like to admit. Did she hear him right?

"What happened?" She caught the words flying out of her mouth before she could stop them. "If you don't mind me asking, that is."

Cedric looked up, and the girl next to him could only imagine that he was focused on one of the tiny flags atop one of the Quidditch towers. He exhaled, and [Y/N] could only think about how handsome he was.

"We jumped into it too fast, I suppose. We agreed that we worked better as friends." Cedric looked back down at the girl in the Gryffindor sweater and gave her a smile. "No hard feelings at all, you know?"

Said girl nodded, and suddenly felt very sick to her stomach.

"Let me know what love's like, because I'd love to know."

***

[Y/N] quite literally had her face buried in a book on the library table. Her cheek was flush with the pages as she groaned for about the fourth time this hour.

"How could we be so stupid?"

She picked up her head only to throw it back down onto the book once again.

"Why'd you let us do this, Hermione? You're supposed to be the smart one." She continued.

"If I remember correctly, both Ron and I tried to warn you against it." Hermione didn't bat an eye at the girl next to her, and continued to shuffle through book after book.

[Y/N] flopped her head to the left to glare at Hermione. "Hush up."

"So you mean to tell me that not two weeks after you two begin your fake relationship, Cedric and Cho are already broken up?" Ron was leaned up against a bookshelf with his arms crossed, a smug look on his freckled face.

"Yes, exactly that. You don't have to rub it in." Harry grumbled from another chair at the table, his own face propped up against his arm.

"And what's stopping you and Harry from 'breaking up' and getting who you fancy?"

"Because, Ronald." [Y/N] flew up, the bridge of her nose red from where it's been shoved against the book. "The entire castle just found out about Harry and I last week, and it doesn't reflect well on either of us to break up with each other just after Cedric and Cho did. It'd be obvious that we were faking the whole time!"

"Sounds a bit complicated if you ask me." Ron gave a mumble and turned his back on the group, clearly done with the whole ordeal. Whether [Y/N] liked to admit it or not, she was making this more complicated than it needed to be. Sure, her and Harry's egos might be a bit wounded after, but she'd have to toughen up and swallow her pride.

"What are we gonna do, Harry?"

"We've got to end this fast, before it gets too out of control." He nodded. "Before Cedric and Cho change their minds." He joked.

"So it's decided," [Y/N] said to her partner in crime. "You need to break up with me in front of the whole school."

"Agreed."

Huevember Afterwords and reference images

First and foremost I wanna say that this was the best decision to go on this epic journey. In case any stranger is gonna be reading this. I'm not some high quality, soulless corporation like blogger who writes very formal essay and only states facts and minimal subjective opinion to maximize inoffensiveness and minimize risk of boring the reader. I'm just gonna ramble on and on like a discord chat at 3AM.

Alright, I have MANY things to talk about on each artwork. The format will be "picture above, comment below". Remember to click on it to zoom, I mean, if my doodly little doodles are worth zooming.

Ah, the starter of it all. Mossy boi. I don't even know what "moss" is. Is it a bush? grass? vines? leaves? I just saw the enemies in HollowKnight that has "moss" in their name and took their design principle. Whatever a moss is, can you even make a cloak out of it? I think it's like "twin drill" hairstyle seen in anime and anime only. Twin drills are non-euclidean eldrich horror that cannot exist in our mortal realm. I don't know why but I specially love how one boot is wrapped in leaves in order to give interesting asymmetry. I love a design where asymmetry is achieved by an actual object that make you go "what's that?" instead of just abstract shape and/or color.

A knight eerily adorned with thorny vines. When I saw myself drawing a knight in full plate armor, the random phrase "A Knight in a Shining Armor" just kept swirling in my head and I couldn't help but decide to just add highlights to it without any knowledge about how it works. But that was a catalyst for me to go out into the world of SHADING! Only, woefully underequipped to actually do it with any amount of correctness at all. You can see that I added the thorns at the last moment which was a brilliant idea.

A scout of Fragrant Goddess faction. Now, you might immediately see that this character's name refers to something that belongs outside the canvas she's drawn on. I couldn't come up with any self contained adjective like previous two but just naming her "a scout" or worse, "an archer" would be pretty demeaning to all the effort I put into bringing her into existence. So I thought I might just start building my extended fantasy world from today. She's an scout of a faction that serves an illusive goddess by that name.

Perhaps it's pathetic that it takes so little to make me feel proud of myself. But the way I used the power of imagination to remove her skirt (because I didn't like how bulky and rigid it is) makes me feel good about myself that I do in fact have at least a couple brain cells. But now comes a problem. Look at all the GOLDEN pieces in this art. You know, I don't know shit about fuck. I just grabbed the colors: brown, yellow and white and just scribbled about on her shoulder plate and it accidentally turned out so amazing. And that made me determined to actually try to shade every art onwards. Which made this series both fun, interesting and painful.

Hunter of the defiant I'm gonna be honest, the reference this time didn't really help that much. Now, I'm not a writer at all. I don't think I wrote really anything. I have a clear memory of getting F every time we needed to write essays in school. So I don't have any fantastic plan for a game/world that revolves around the concept of afterlife and ushers of departing souls. Regardless, I brainstormed an idea for this character: Outside the mortal realm, there is a great river that carries the souls of the deceased like a driftwood into whatever is on the other side. But sometimes, whether by choice, accident, or meddling of others, a soul fails to go onto the river and remain in the mortal world as a "ghost", which is usually not a good thing to happen. Someone must correct those mistakes. I gave that name because the character in this artwork is a special subclass of grim reaper who deals with those who willingly become a ghost. Which is a heresy against whatever policy I will come up with when time comes. Probably in 10 years.

Crumbled golem knight. This one was way too much of a "biting off more than you can chew" moment. How do I paint a rock? No one knows. All the tutorials I watched were just: "lol just draw it. Now look at me in awe at how good of an artist I am as I just silently paint without explaining anything" It's seems to be one of the things every artist just have to learn through raw instinct at some point in their life. This went completely out of my meagre little zone of cartoony characters with thick outlines and extremely minimal shading.

Assault sorcerer knight. This is in fact my proudest one from this series. (yes, we will talk about "that" next) It's because the reference art is used only for a mere pose and everything else is my honest prowess.

Just look at how much shading is done for him compared to the first one. Also in much bigger resolution. See, every time I drew something, I always had my canvas in very low resolution. For example, the first 4 art is 800x1000 pixels. I do not know what compels me to do that. 99% of my time is spent on basically being a pixel artist and I realized how unnecessarily counterproductive it is when I was drawing the grim reaper. A borderline pixel art is fine normally but when I rotate the canvas, staring at a bunch of rotated pixels is incredibly icky. So, Sorcerer knight catalyzes bigger canvas size of 1600x2000 pixels.

The "That". This. Is. A. PROBLEM. You see, I got so mesmerized by the absolute paragon of beauty in front of me and just ended up tracing literally everything. The archer one was ok because the design itself, specially after I removed the imposing skirt, is pretty humble. But this one has all this majestically flowing stuff like the cape, the robe, the hair and handsome face. I would not even start to begin to come close to the fraction of the 0.01% of all the folds that the reference art has. It was a not a "reference" but a full on "tracing". But this one is fine. Honestly I can be positive and say that this is a very personal and intimate (because I even though it's a trace, it's a fact that I brought about everything on the canvas with my own hands) milestone as an artist. I could look at it and get inspired to work towards one day being able to recreate it genuinely. Ah, but so far away. I need to learn how to pose a human body, basic level anatomy, face (which is an entire world on it's own), hair, flowing fabric, folds, shadows & highlights. As shameful it might be to trace, this one is fine because he's a knight. And I'm willing to draw any knight at any given time. But the next one, the final would-be one is were the real real problem comes in.

It's not about the act of tracing but more about having to trace to begin with. I didn't want to finish it because I never wanted to draw this. See, the problem with this whole tracing thing is that it's straight up impossible to find the perfect source art that matches the idea you had in mind. Remember how in the previous post where I presented you the order in which I tackle the huevember palettes and I put the yellow one last because I said I wanted that to be the best? Sadly the idea was too big for me to just bring it up on my own like I did the crumbled golem and sorcerer knight. Neither could I find any reference art that would be anywhere close to it. After scrolling for like 3 hours straight I got so tired and pissed at wasted time and just picked random one and tried to call the huevember challenge done. But the absolute dissonance between what I always wanted to draw from before the start of the challenge and whatever the random ass anime girl I was tracing and haphazardly coloring was too much to bear. And here ends my huevember. Alright with that said, just in case you might've forgot or you're a newcomer to my shenanigans not knowing it, tracing is not what I'll be doing in the future and it never was planned to. In fact, this is definitively the last time I trace. I've been tracing in order to just have fun, take a little mental break from insurmountable work of making a game and prepare my hands for what's to come when I begin my artist journey. After I finish my game I will take my time to formally study art. I don't mean like years and years until I become like Leonardo da Vinci. Just two or three months to reach the most basic level of body structure, posing, shading and folds of fabric for the purpose of drawing my very own original characters. Because making a video game is my main purpose. I'm not an "artist" artist, I draw only for myself and my games, nor a "programmer" programmer. Plus this challenge really made me learn the painful way just how soul crushing it is to spends hours trying to find a perfect picture to use as reference/trace. Surprise! Google is not a genie that magically gives you the perfect thing you have in your mind. Pretty far from it, actually. Ok, that's all. If you're here, I'm shacking and crying in gratitude for you caring about me. oh yeah people nowadays use AI to generate a perfect reference image for them, don't they. AI can gargle my nuts.

Madonna knew about my work in Harlem and how i got the children off the street by pounding nails and giving them food.

She wanted a song for everyone in the world but to dedicate it to the most hard-working Construction man or woman out there on my team

I said "they're all hard working... Tho but i say Jess-- because i don't pronounce the T and they all look at me but i also say it in different ways because of my accent always changing depending who I've been talking to most I always pick up on it so its sometimes with a y sound or an I or an e or even the U. So what do you think about that?"

"Oh yeah that would work the Jessies. Now how do you wanna spell it. But i just wanted to do it with one So how about i drop the last s? Oh that will work, see look Jessie and no s"

Jessies to Jessie when its usually Jesse.

"Because the song is about one individual and we are all about individuality the last thing i want to do is sing about a group and jam them altogether. They're not plums, they're people. Yeah?"

"Yes!!!"

"But they're too hard working for what they get"

"But they get them a house"

"What they do?! None of them said that!"

"Its a surprise we keep track of their hours. 1,000 hours is a free house for their families. But i made a mistake in the beginning i had 3 kids and they worked 2,000 hours well almost 2225 actually and so i gave them two houses. But look the houses were really small and the kids were gonna have to share a bedroom, the two girls and they worked hardest so we just tore down a wall and gave them furniture -- for the girls because they did 1757.5 and then the boy and dad we just got them new beds and they kept the two kitchens. That was fun. One was old and not remodeled and the other was brand new, thats the way they wanted it said the girls so they could see how much work they had accomplished. Single dad. Raising 3 kids in the Bronx"

"Oh well that's not a mistake thats a blessing. And oh my those are Jessies i am going to think of them. Two girls i will say they're twins so in my mind one pregnancy and one child. Okay good. Don't tell me any different but when im done i want to meet what is real behind my inspiration!"

"Done deal!"

Madonna she made me cry a lot she is just so beautiful.

We did Harlem the most but we hit the Bronx, lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, even Central Park, Times Square. We went everywhere.

John Gray's mom worked in Manhattan as a nurse but they lived in Harlem. They both worked to earn a house after his mom got onto me about slave labor and we moved her into a brand new apartment complex in Lower Manhattan i had just bought halfway finished and used the same construction crew to complete. That was closer to the hospital and had better schools. Eventually they saved enough money and were able to fulfill their dreams to move back South.

1000 hours bought a house.

The kids that knew nothing or were clumsy had nails pounded in partially and they just had to finish pounding them in. Help carry and move things. We had older people and professionals that we didn't pay.

Grab and go breakfast like pastry or bagels, lunch of a sandwich and chips and dinner of the same. Water always and soda on the weekends. Juice at breakfast. If it lasted it did. No one left without a bag lunch even if they had just ate. We paid people to make food in an apartment. We called it "catered" Usually the real old ladies they worked in an assembly line. We paid them $5 per day plus they earned their full hours. But they needed pain meds just to keep up with the demand so we gave them the extra cash.

The lawyer Steve would shop and make sure all the names and hours and dates were recorded proper.

Some kids just went and ate. Steve would tell them they were thevies and had to work a half hour to not go to jail. And they would. He told them to buy the food they owed 6 hours per "plate" so they never bought it they just paid their time to stay out of jail because he was their lawyer and i was the judge. The cop was their guilt.

So we had a pretty sweet set up to get kids to buy houses through work.

We always printed a certificate on dot matrix printer and framed it and had them hang it in the houses near the door so they were always reminded who bought it and that good work is an honest living and its how you earn a good life.

We always know that 1000 hours will never buy a house and will barely pay the bills.

Yet it was Harlem and people were so poor and Ms Chen really got to me about that voting shit. How blacks couldn't vote till the 1965 law and how in the beginning of time no one could vote till they were a land owner.

So I said let's beat the government and haters and hypocrites!

Give not only the poorest but poorest blacks and let them know they can now vote!!! That's how we ended up on Harlem. Also I had seen the Harlem Globetrotters on TV and I thought a lot of people in Harlem were in wheelchairs -- Hey i may be reincarnated but I was only 5 and hadn't been to NYC to live since slavery was intact and even then it was a fee short years! i was from Detroit in my last life! And NYC was big!! I didn't know if they had a special section or what. My uncle dad laughed at me and took me to Harlem so we could see.

"Nope i don't see any wheelchairs. Will it still work for you?"

"Yeah let me talk to the people and we will see"

I talked to about 50 kids from the street and playground and about 10 adults. All the kids said they worried about money and their parents and the adults said things were okay but one who said it was rough but they were making it.

"Thanks for waiting these 3 hours. Well this is the place! Now excuse me for I must cry for all these kids"

This is why kids (and adults that touched my heart) got houses for only 1000 hours

Stingy Steve I called him... I wanted 100 hours but he said 1000 is more reasonable. He said 100,000 hours is more respectable and accurate but they were kids so 1000 hours was very respectable.

But because the children worried about money and places to live and about their parents.

We bought apartment complex after apartment complex. Renovated on kids labor and paid the children houses.

No one waa too young we had a one year old work with her parents. Usually I just babysat him when they both worked but usually they carried him ina sling... But if she had been sick or it was hot and sunny or they were carrying something they had been working on in, I got the baby.

I got some toddlers, too. They learned to drive nails like no one's business. Twin girls driving their momma nuts "can I just drop them here for a few? Its hot"

I got a panel of nail driving practice so I had them hammer it in Then look the other side to see they got it in Then hammer it out the other way.

The panel always had nails where the nails went in real work. So that in practice they got real location practice. They could see how if they nailed a nail or did a screw crooked how it would affect the work badly. The back side had the frame the panel went onto so they could see if it was a hit or miss.

Usually it was the sheet rock practice. But they had to practice screws also but we began with nails. Before the drill. Some kids had stole our drills so drills were practiced inside. But the dedicated kids got our drills back they knew who stole them.

So that day we had a graduation of Drill work and i got the practice panel back and i had me some toddlers.

Their mom was a lifter because she wasn't good on nails. She saw her babies missing from the shade so she came to look for us because sometimes i took them to the park but i always told her or left a note on my chair. And so she went to check and she saw me and they were behind the panel somewhat having lost interest and were pulling at the nails and feeling them and the board while my back rested

So momma learned to drive nails better because she could screw to assemble because Jesse would start the screws on counterwork and she would finish. So her and her babies learned alot that week.

We liked the kids to hang sheetrock because that was the building of a house. Then they would install plumbing and all that stuff. If we didn't have adults we had the kids build cabinetry. Or often had them build it together.

But we had professional craftsmen (construction workers and plumbers and electricians) teach the kids all the ins and outs of their new house so if any thing went wrong they could fix it.

So they did all the wiring and plumbing.

Id see kids walk out "i just installed a toilet!" I would see faces of disgust and amazement and pride and sometimes all at the same time. I would always applaud that, "you've installed your throne!"

That was the only thing they had to tell me about. Although i liked to hear about the sink. The toilet I had to hear about for my own amusement.

And because we would explain to them the history of toilets and so they would learn all about out houses before earning their toilets.

That is how they earned their materials. History and usually they had a small test. If they couldn't pass twice they had to come to me. Usually they were untrusting or shy so they would test in front of me and then I would say "i know you know that answer because when he read it to you your eyes lit up so what is in the back of your head behind your ear? That's the truth to the answer"

We had a lot of special education students. But they always earned their materials. Even if we took to dusk to help them learn it. There was a small handful I had to help especially because they had too much doubt or fear they were smart or educated. So I did a small class outside and did all their history tests with them. So then when it got to that material they then we're just read it again or talked about it or were asked what they remember most or their favorite information.

Eventually I had to go to the schools to talk to their teachers as to why they were in special ed. I wouldn't say their names but would say "a kid that says your he's teacher...."

Because one kid had memorized 3 pages of history word for word and had been in special ed for 3 years.

I got his mom to go with me on her off day after she saw and the kid "read" what he saw in his mind while the teacher read off the paper.

"Well he missed a few words he said "thee" not "thuh""

"Well that's an accent not a reading defect. He learned it from me allot. I'm English from England not from New York"

"Well we will have to take speech then"

"You can't. Its an accent. It's a way of speech. A dialect not a defect. Would you put Yosemite Sam in speech therapy?"

"Well you're stup--"

"Okay well I might be stupid or stup-eh-eh with your throat drowning out the sound of what you're going to say but you're not getting this kid out of special ed, not with your attitude"

"You're right. I'M NOT. I'M GETTING HIM OUT BECAUSE HE'S SMART AND MAYBE EVEN SMARTER THAN ALL OF US SITTING IN THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW. He could be the next Einstein and for what?!? Because he's black? Because he's Latino? I'm taking this to the school board. You're full of shit. Come on"

"No wait".

She took him out that very day. He went to Harvard and is now a Law Professor at Yale.

Y'all can do anything.

She got fired. Because I went to the principal who actually did complain as well and i went to the superintendent who knew nothing.

So i invited the school board to the streets of the Bronx. (Its where i started -- i was still trying to buy homes in Harlem) invited them to my table and had a list of kids that said they were in special education and had the superintendent and other school board members test them right Then and there.

She wasn't a bad person... She just wanted extra money for the school. But she was fucking with little kids heads and that wasn't right. That next school year special ed was less than half and they were the best testing school in the district.

Now i could say the same for Harlem but they tested out of NYC. They were in the Top 3 in the state.

I have an expert to update you on the rest of the success stories we have because we took the time to care and encourage as i hope you are all doing in homeschooling during Quarentine.
