#I’d post a guide or smth

[skinandscales-if]

Are you thinking of adding cheat mode?

Hey there! I’m not super familiar with this term, do you mean like a mode to get all “right” choices? Or something similar? I do wanna note as well that I’m gonna be very transparent about choices in-game, I’m not planning on making checks or key relationship moments subtle haha

[archersartcorner]

I KEEP THINKING ABOUT NORMAN WANTING TO BE A DAD AND I VERY RECENTLY REMEMBERED THERE’S LITERALLY 3 8-YEAR-OLD GIRLS RUNNING AROUND THE WURST. ADOPTION!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!

[viviiyon]

Hey viv, i need advice on picking colors like how do u usually pick colors for artwork cuz when i pick colors they look ugly, do you have to use specific colors or smth?(srry if i was asked you too many questions last time they really helped me improve)

Alrightt I’m gonna give some general pointers below (since tbh colorpicking will vary HEAVILY based on what youre going for so there’s rarely much step by step that’s set in stone-

Anyways first, I’d recommend having color references, these can be like artworks, photographs, colorpalettes, etc that have a similar vibe to what you’re going for

I’ll put an example of each-

Can’t exactly put the full last one yet cause I’m gonna post that soon uh- (but you get the idea)

Those basically function as the base / main guiding point for what you wanna achieve :00

Secondly, make FULLLLL use of blending modes (mess around with the opacity, saturation, lightness, etcc)

I’ll list down some i commonly use & their functions

Multiply: darkens the piece

Hard light: whatever color you put on this layer will essentially push that piece towards that color

Hard light & multiply (when filled w dark colors) can both be used to create more emphasis / value to the piece, but in my experience, the difference I observed is that multiply doesn’t increase the saturation of the piece as much as hard light does

For instance:

Small difference but it has an eventual effect on the piece

Overlay: increases contrast in relation w the hue of the color used

Soft light: basically the diet version of hard light, but kindof can also function as a less contrasty overlay

Add: lightens the colors below, good for lighting / glow

Color dodge: similar to add, but if you lower the opacity, it looks a little different

Hopefully the explanation was understandable :'DD I'm no means any professional but these are just based on my personal trial & error and what I end up settling in for now :00

Once again if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Kaeya, cavalry captain of Mondstadt! A pleasure to meet you all~ 23, he/him.

This picture isn't fully accurate now, but Borealis is still with me! Along with his other friends who keep tailing us around, haha.

Kaeya’s pokemon

Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Lynette. 21 and she/her only.

Kaeya has let me borrow his... odd mechanism when I please. If you are interested in magic, or my brothers… this is the wrong time and place for that. But if you wish to speak with me... just get to the point.

Lynette’s pokemon

If any of you see my good friend Aether, or our other companions, Alhaitham or Furina, please do let us know. We’re a bit worried for them.

//Universe shared with - @fallenboughtkeeper (on the genshin side) - @blueberry-gills - non emo au of @arven-x-drayster-4ever (both on the pokemon side)

please go through ‘read more’ before interacting!

Heyaaa!! It’s @saywha413, mod of @arven-x-drayster-4ever, @ask-sarah-and-co, and all the other blogs in that universe!

I love Kaeya genshin sm and I thought a faller blog would be silly…

since this is a separate universe from my main one, I’d be alright with him being in like other universes if that makes sense? but uh. hmu if you want to do like a rp thread or join universes or smth.

Note relating to the actual genshin part. The only other faller chars planned (as of rn) are the ones he listed. Most other chars will be back on Teyvat- so in @/fallernboughtkeeper’s side.

finally. There will be kaether (kaeya/aether) bc I am crazy abt them. Aether is 20 (under legal drinking age of 21). I am also highly considering furina/lynette and kaeya/aether/alhaitham but we’ll see lmao

Pelipper mail/malice/mystery gifts: ✔️ Musharna mail/malice: ✔️ Union circle: ✔️ In character hate: ✔️ Magic anons: depends on the anon

Anyone can interact, given that we keep it within a social media context.

This question is purely out of curiosity, but why do you think that it was Thalia/Annabeth who betrayed Luke? Or better said, betrayed him too.

You’ve mentioned it a few times, but I never could find a full post from you on it. Mostly you talk about Thalia in TTC which- Imma be real here I can FULLY understand (I still think TLO her was the biggest character assasinisation in the books).

But where is it coming from in Annabeth's case for you? (If you even include Annabeth, could be I just misunderstood smth)

Again I can understand it somewhere and definitely see where you’re coming from- I’m just interested in a full post about it.

Maybe mostly because I also think you kinda have a point and I’d like to repost 🥺👉👈

In fact, Annabeth is mostly not connected with this, because she is probably the only one who didn't see him as a specifically traitor (except for directly poisoning the Thalia's tree, well, she had a point, and in fact it didn't bring up anymore after his admission that he did not planned to harm Thalia just to harm her/CHB there).

I called that betrayal of Luke (especially in the case of Thalia) mostly cause I take offense and turn the tables precisely because... what's so strange about his decision?

What's ‘betraying’ about naturally deciding that he's had enough? Logically it's Thalia revised her opinion in the actual half a year and decided to side with the gods, although obviously she didn't particularly favor her father and the main pantheon before that.

In fact, what happened in TLT? Luke turned away from the gods and from the Camp as an organization. What did he do after that? Luke contacted the demigods from the Camp (hello Silena) and offered them an alternative to the CHB in the current situation and, obviously, (TLO) took in, welcomed and trained the kids who were found by the monsters.

I truly think that no one would have deliberately attacked the Camp just to raze the demigods there if they just... didn't stand in the way to the pantheon?

I just technically don't see any turning around (from the demigods) on his part, only a completely direct path that the gods themselves guided him.

Which leads me to the conclusion that... It was Thalia who turned away from Luke first?

It was much more logical on Annabeth's part — she always wanted Mom's approval, just accepted all the shit the gods were doing and... actually considered Luke's point of view, even with that all.

UPD: It's just if I suffered from abuse and an imbalance of power and decided 'go fuck yourself, bitches' towards my tormentors, and my fellow sufferers are like: ‘you betrayed us,’ I would just—

Well, who's the traitor after that?

[ginhaku125]

Thought I'd share a conversation I had with @franstastic-ideas about Volo because we do bring up some good points abt Volo. The last part about going back to the village is a relatively weak point but I believe Laventon should've probably said smth more about it. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

My honest opinion? I believe the Volo-is-evil-and-wants-to-destroy-the-world thing or whatever was shoehorned in as a way to end the plate collecting quest. If you think about it, it's technically post game, like yeah the mission is forced upon you and you can't complete the dex and meet Arceus without it, but if we consider the quelling nobles and beating the two legendaries main game, and when the first credits roll consider the rest post game because yeah, it does feel like post game, this *can* just be skipped if you don't care about the dex or shiny hunting, plus, you can just trade in the legendary and mythical Pokémon trapped behind the post game from other games (namely BDSP) if you have them. The only one you couldn't get, I think, is Enamorus, but you can just trade with a friend who has Enamorus, complete its dex and give it back if you're feeling nice. You don't *need* trading to complete the game, but that doesn't mean you can't use it to complete the game.

I've seen plenty of people think Volo was Arceus incarnate trying to guide you and honestly that could've worked so well? Or - hear me out - Volo gets dragged into the Distortion World by Giratina. I mean, ofc you have to save him, but still. Or maybe he is evil at the start, but after traveling with you and seeing you continue after being exiled, he has a change of heart and breaks the pact with Giratina, again, he gets dragged into DW, you save him, he tells you his plan and how he regrets it and apologises for being the reason you came here. This COULD even lead to Volo meeting Arceus with you but I may be stretching it too far...BUT 👀. Either way, you go back to Jubilife with merchant boy. Oh? What about the final battle and his final team? Ingo. Literally just add him to the Ingo roster.

I'm sorry I love Volo he's easily my favourite PLA character, but if you're going to make him the villian, make him seem less caring about the world or just fucking...I dunno, change the ending.

P.S: check out @franstastic-ideas 's blog! They do bring up some really good points about Volo!

TL;DR: Random teen on the internet thinks her favourite character's evil plot was shoehorned in to end a post game plot. Please Game Freak, give me PLA DLC.

[psychicthepsychic-daily]

random but how do you make a character daily blog or just character centric blog? how do you run it?

cuz i’m thinking about making a whitty one. maybe whitty weekly or smth so i have a looser schedule

to be very honest, I wouldn’t say there’s a certain script or template you have to follow in order to make a character-centric gimmick blog. all that matters imo is that you stick to the character and have fun with it. a lot of these kinds of blogs are art based, which is great for those who have time and enjoy making art! but ofc it’s not a hard and fast rule — have you seen how many memes and shortfics I’ve posted instead of art lol

a weekly Whitty themed blog sounds like a lot of fun! definitely less stressful than a daily blog, at least in my experience ^^; not gonna lie it can be difficult to get myself to post every day. it’s good to know your limits and be able to figure out a schedule that meets your needs while letting you have fun and dedicate yourself to a project like this.

with running the blog itself, I actually came up with my url, title, and most of my tags beforehand so it was easy for me to categorize my posts from the beginning. #tea for thought is my general/ramble tag, plus I have separate tags for Psychic’s different interpersonal relationships and all that fun stuff.

Of course none of that is required, but I personally enjoy developing Psychic’s dynamics with other characters so for me organizing my posts about them is important. Depending on what parts of Whitty’s character you like to focus on the most, you can organize your tagging system to feature those alongside having regular tags for different kinds of media: art, fics, edits, etc. or don’t! it’s completely up to you.

generally, I’d take a pretty relaxed approach to running any sort of character fanblog ^^ just pick a cool palette you think matches the character, set up an intro post with a link to the source material, rules for interaction, and a small navigation guide. you don’t really need anything else!

just remember that the point of these blogs is to have fun and talk about your favorite character! if anyone gives you a tough time for how you’re running your blog don’t hesitate to block them. if you do decide to start a Whitty-centric blog please tag me so I can follow! :D wish you the best of luck in this endeavor <3

[toughtink]

a long time ago i made a guide to keys in Gideon the Ninth. i said i’d do some more Locked Tomb notes in the future, so i’m back to do that! these posts are pretty much my personal notes taken during my last reread, perfectly prone to errors, so feel free to add on if you spot any inconsistencies. also, the citations are specifically for the american paperback versions of the books. and i haven’t put much from nona in this list yet; mostly this one focuses on Harrow the Ninth info.

The River Sections in The Locked Tomb Series:

The Riverbank—seems to have many of the things you’d find on an actual real-world beach: silvery sand, dried wood, colored stones, long feathery plant stems and willow-like branches washed up on the shore, salt wind.

Epirhoic—Uppermost, near the banks. Where the lyctors plan to fight RB 7. Where folks always hope their ghost travels (“may your spirit travel high on the River” or smth), where Abigail assumes Isaac and Jeannemary’s spirits will travel given their youth and goodness ( “[They] never did anything wrong other than the time they tried to pierce each other’s tongues, should have travelled lightly through those waters.” —Abigail, htn 397).

Mesorhoic—middle, i guess. some ghosts.

Bathyrhoic—where the swiftest fight against a RB (8) took place. much fewer ghosts.

Barathron—very few ghosts sink this low. Jod says if he believed in sin, he’d say they died weighted down with sin, placing them nearer the trash space. deeper portions have pressure similar to water pressure in deep ocean (htn 494), but they never figured out what the River’s made of. Apparently there’s also rocks down here??? Because the Mithraeum gets caught on some rock face when dropped into the River (htn 496).

Stoma—Super hell? Opens & closes. Ferocious gravitational pull. Mouth to Hell. “A genuinely chaotic space—chaos in the meaning of the abyss as well as unfathomable…located at the bottom of the River. The Riverbed is studded with mouths that open at proximity of Resurrection Beasts, and no ghosts venture deeper than the bathyrhoic layer. Anyone who has entered the stoma has never returned. It is a portal to the place I cannot touch” (Jod, htn 240). Jod’s rubbish bin 🗑️. When a hole opens, it’s enormous with huge human teeth at the edges, each tooth “six bodies high and two bodies wide.” Gideon also describes it as “an eaten-away tunnel of reality.” (htn 495) Also, thousands of tentacle-y tongues come out (htn 496). Stoma is Greek for mouth, and though medically it normally refers to a hole in the abdomen used to expel waste, if we think of it as a mouth (which like, teeth + tongues sounds pretty mouthy), it could be compared to the mouth of a river, aka where it meets the ocean. Is “The Beyond” (in the next section) that ocean?

The River Beyond—what lies beyond, believed in thousands of years ago, but pooh-poohed now, and researched/believed in by Abigail Pent (htn 397), aka where spirits are attempting to cross to without being dragged to the depths of the River or going insane. Abigail believes there is a whole school of necromancy still undiscovered because of a lack of studying The Beyond (my capitals, not hers) and that something has gone terribly wrong in the River.—Personally, it feels like the system has been gummed up by necromancy, souls coming and going and causing problems when they really should have been going in one direction. Alecto asks Jod where he put all the children in ntn, so maybe normally those souls go directly back to their planets/nearest cosmic bodies? But killing the planets has made that impossible so now they’re stuck in a subspace Purgatory occasionally getting sucked into Hell ala The Good Place where OOPS! No one’s been able to get to Heaven for 10k years!

some miscellaneous thoughts about the river:

perhaps the river was never meant to exist at all? could the destruction of the solar system have created it? and what’s with its use as subspace travel? it’s plot convenient, sure, but is that a feature that can be expanded to all souls, living and dead? or is it the spiritual dimension being sucked into some kinda worm hole that was already in space or something? idk, it’s very weird as you can be there spiritually but not physically or you can be there physically too as evidenced by the very physical kinds of rocks and stuff as well as whole space ships getting dropped in. it’s certainly a fun take on the river styx, and i do think we’ll be going beyond the stoma in alecto. maybe it’ll really lean in to the greek mythology connection this time and we’ll get a bit of an orpheus and eurydice moment with a certain saddest girl in the world going in to rescue a certain goth nunlet?

[birdo-is-here]

how likely i believe i am to win in a fight with the Helpers, as inspired by Jammy’s post

Narrator: Oh for sure, absolutely destroy this mf, 100%

Cameraman: Not at all i am Dead on the Floor all they need to do is throw the camera at me and i am GONE

Delivery Man: He could def take me if his heart was in it somehow like i hurt Milk or smth but if we’re just fighting to fight i’d probably win

Milkman: Same with Del but he wouldn’t just defeat me he’d actually kill me i think

Therapist: absolutely not bro i won’t even be able to fight her you’re physically incapable of holding a grudge on her she could beat the shit outta me and id let her

Knock-Off: Depends on the form they’re taking, i reckon

Gift Giver: Steal the box, they no longer know where they are. EZ win

Interviewer: I think they’d not only win in a fight against me but they’d also be able to make it look like i lost against myself somehow

Reporter: They could beat the shit outta me for sure. Don’t get me wrong I think i’d still win but im beaten and bloodied ygm

Guide: Absolutely not, this fucker used to be a [redacted for lore purposes], do you know how much willpower that takes??? All she needs to do is look at me a certain way and i crumble

Conductor: I can reduce this man to dust. This is a literal skeleton he is the most fragile motherfucker here if i don’t win against this guy i don’t win against any of them

and two extra

Robin: I’d lose but only because there’s no body for me to be fighting. If he had a body its an easy win

Clean-Up Crew: I’d win but it’s only by default because none of them showed up in the first place

good day! congrats on the milestone! i’ve been a lurker on your account for a few months now and you definitely deserve it!

i’m here to request a matchup for lovebrush chronicles, i just got into it recently and i’m hooked.

starting off, i’m 19, an infp, and a libra. i’m also asian so i have the typical black hair and eyes combo, i’m around the shorter side though at 5’1”. i’ll try not to put too much info 🙇

i’m the kind of person that is quiet at first until i get comfortable, but it typically depends on my mood. i prefer to hang out with people with the same interests, because i find it hard to socialize in general, things are just easier when it’s online. i was one of the “weird kids” growing up. extremely lazy with academics, but still ends up as an honor student due to expectations. i’m kind of a perfectionist? i’m a cat person, however, i want to have a pet snake in the future. i love reading, writing, and listening to music! i guess, to make things shorter, my biggest kin is hajime hinata… so…

my ideal date has always been going to somewhere fun like an amusement park, but i’d love dates at a cafe/bookstore as well :)

my ideal type… artem wing from tears of themis. kidding aside, someone kind, caring, mature, responsible, and understanding. i don't think i'm that picky...??

this is getting way too long, so i'll end it here. congratulations again! best wishes. <3

snowstorm, snowbird

You watch Alkaid stumble on the ice, holding on to the railing as you offer a hand to help.

"I... I got this." He mumbles, trying again, pushing himself off the railing and into your arms, holding your elbows as you guide him through the crowd, eventually letting go as Alkaid chases you on the ice.

You stick your tongue out as he races after you, blades scratching the ice as you swerve and stop before you hit the side, Alkaid's hands caging you into the wall, lips curled upward cheekily as you smile and shrug.

"Caught you." He hums, pressing a kiss to your eyebrow.

"Caught me." You mumble.

Headcanons:

he's super sweet. He's totally the type to try new things just for you and pick up your hobbies to have something in common

He tells you about the stars a lot. like. a lot. You can point at a random ass star in the sky n he'll be like "oh it's this one. Wanna know the lore?" n you're like "wtf"

I saw a couple let go of each other bc of smth in the way and immediately link hands again today and that strikes me as you two

Also, Alkaid takes photos of you. he will risk his life for your social media post (his sd card is also full of photos of you)

Also, he totally bear hugs you. It's a little strange to see him sort of engulf you, but it's super warm so you let him, wrapping your arms around him back

[nyxqueenofshadows]

was busy and kinda forgot to make a post about it but i finished judgment last week!

had a slow start but by the halfway point i was fully invested and by the end i was like why is it over :((((( let me do it again :(((( great game, if you haven't played judgment, go do it

my notes, written in mostly chronological order. they're a bit of a mess but clearing them up would be a nightmare

most random thing to start off with but i really, really like the character intro cards and chapter title cards. sleek af, big fan

yagami combat’s fun. just like flipping over people’s heads and shit

kaito omg i see why everyone got so attached to him. also saori??? very pretty, she’s great, more of her please

i haven’t got used to the controls and combat yet :((( like i keep forgetting shortcuts are a thing and that i don’t have to hold the sprint button

okay i’m gonna admit it took me a while to get into it and occasionally it’ll still throw smth at me that i don’t enjoy at all but i’m here now! i’m having fun! i think it kind of has the kiwami problem where it has a bunch of stuff it has to establish so all the side content gets pushed later than some of the other games

the scene where sugiura steals yagami’s phone is so fucking funny to me he looks so offended asdfghj;kl

everyone’s kind of a dick? like the journalist is sleazy as all hell, then there’s hamura (hoo boy) and the detective guy don’t like him at all, bad vibes

yagami choke count +1

hamura oh my god i hope i get to punch this guy at some point like ‘here’s where you lose your eyes’ なーんてな that’s so fucked up

yagami choke count +3 jesus christ are the rgg team okay

higashi???? he’s the character i’m gonna get most attached to i can see it coming already. sugiura continues to be fun too, very funny to me that yagami’s reaction to bumping into him (the guy who stole his phone and was trying to throw him to the cops) is to offer him a job

it’s new playing an rgg protag who’s actually clever and quick. there’s akiyama, he’s kinda similar, but it’s kinda nice to have a character play the room in the same way yagami can, like when he gets kaito out of losing his finger. kiryu’s great don’t get me wrong but he tends to blunder his way through the plots of his games and he’s never a step ahead of anyone even when he’s acting as a guiding figure (a la 6). yagami’s refreshing

oh no one of the girls you can date is underage (or is she 18? she’s one year too young to drink) you’re kidding me yagami whyyyyy

chase sequence after the wig was hilarious 10/10 would do again << oh hey we did it again but this time with a young child, okay

sorry ayabe i think i misjudged you, keep doing what you’re doing

why is ryan fucking everywhere, i swear i’ve not had a street fight without him ever since finishing his friendship route. help it’s tanoshikatta de gozaru all the way down

intrigued by the crow and ‘jester’ plotline << why did this not get picked up again? did i miss smth?

VR minigame is okay, lots of flashy visual effects tho, it occasionally makes the game go all janky

kaito :(((( deciding not to fight red nose cos higashi was there and he didn’t want him to get hurt :(((

hamura during that flashback scene in the sewers....yikes. like that he essentially would’ve done the same thing twice (to the guy in the pink shirt before suigura comes to the rescue), he’s got an MO

also is the only requirement to be a yakuza protagonist to have a tragic af backstory and no parents, yagami’s is brutal! the most in the series, i’d argue (unless 7 is gonna hit me with the steel chair)

the side case with the cake and the ace attorney parody is cracking me up asdfghjkl i need to write that crossover or au or whatever i NEED

i love how surprised/offended yagami is when kaito not only throws him under the bus when shioya has them at gunpoint but then when kaito breaks free and shioya says to shoot him he’s just like eh? eh?????? asdfghjkl bro you’re about to get shot, get kicking

deus ex sugiura << he does this like 4 times, he’s the real mvp

ohhh skeletons in the closet. ha ha very funny guys (well, onto chapter 5)

nobody liked shintani at all did they, they’re saying mean shit about him even after he’s dead. guys it’s been a couple of hours at most! he even gets the sad/uplifting substory music during his scene asdfghjkl

sugiura really needled yagami about the okubo case, wonder why

the ghost/memory shintani when you arrive at ADDC was creepy, ngl. yagami are you okay

ohhh full flashback sequence, nice. slicked back hair yagami is really disconcerting at first (he goes from yagami to full on kimtak) but i’m used to him now i think

i forgot that emi’s last name was terasawa so when she turned up i was like oh is it? and then it was and now i’m sad. why, why did that happen i need to knowwwww

there’s a lot of names and different factions of people involved in this one, i think i might have to check the case file notes regularly on this one.

like, what does kuroiwa want, why is the director so adamant on the flow of information out of his company being under his control, how are the ministry of health connected to the kansai yakuza wanting to make inroads into kamurocho? what does it meannnnnn

keihin gang annoying. that’s it

the side/main story thing you do with kaito while waiting for sugiura to call and tell you what he knows about the addc, where kaito meets up with a guy he knew when he was younger, that was great. 10/10 character and relationship establishing content. do the fist bump guys

you briefly play as saori??????? okay! (positive) interesting to do what is essentially a very toned down version of the hostess minigame but from the other side. also the option to dress up saori in outfits that characters wore in kiwami 2 is really weird. OH and that saori can’t be pretty without a makeover, like no, she’s very pretty. glad there’s no penalty for keeping her natural hair cos i DID

all these K names are killing me, so there’s kejihara (run by the man himself) who have sway over the kyorei clan who are trying to get in with minister kazami. plus the ceo of the addc is called kido, and there’s kuroiwa in the mix too, never mind kaito (tho he’s special, he’s okay). i know in jp these are all written very differently but did rgg my guys did you have no other syllables to go for?? there’s a good few ‘ha-’ names too, hattori, hamura, hashiki...

i don’t think matsugane oyassan is earning any of dad of the year awards. he’s trying tho, i’ll give him that. genda tho, now there’s a man i can get behind

higashi really levelled up for his second boss fight god damn

someone explain to me how they did the hair for the tashiro-kun disguise, with all the gold and shit. like, that’s clearly not a wig, right? i know it’s just there for convenience and the laughs but come on! (also kimtaku basically has that haircut now so it was really jarring asdfghjkl)

every time i see hoshino with his enormous backpack i can’t help but think he’s a kid going to school for the first time, i think it’s the suit looking like a uniform (plus how he looks generally). same for the boy twin (yosuke? what was it again) cos he’s so short compared to yagami and most of the people around him. (saying this as someone who is basically yosuke’s height)

plot mandated poker nooooooo (oh you don’t have to win PHEW)

i neglected the side content and now i’m drowning in it oh no asdfghjkl i haven’t even touched the drone racing yet

that meeting with okubo is rough. (positive)

oh we’re really in it now folks, people are throwing around theories like it’s nothing! i sort of get how they arrive at the conclusion it was shono but it also kind of feels like they pulled it out of nowhere? the bit with kaito where he happens upon an answer mid-argument was fun but everything before that just felt kinda like vague spitballing.

wait who’s this dick with the sword cane??? hamura must be really upset if this is the guy he’s bringing out (also why is hoshino-kun there, genda’s office is on literally the other side of town)

we’re just waltzing in the front door of the addc??? okay! oh wait no that didn’t work did it asdfghjkl for someone who says it’s his hobby he sure keeps that special electric baton (kamiyama special?) on him during his work hours

shono interrogation was good, even if the mechanics of the chase sequence thingy before it weren’t so much (this is like that one bit from 0 all over again, but making even less sense)

alright chapter 10 let’s GO

chapters 10 and 11 go so hard AHHHHHH after him playfully ribbing you while you’re going around trying to attract attention, kaito getting shot physically hurt me and then yagami’s face when he has to leave him is even worse, then there’s the very very long boss fight sequence where you fight cane man (who is fruity af for no reason, good for him) a bunch and those are all fun fights except the one in the dark and then the hamura fight!!! the QTE for that fight is so cool, i’ve seen it a few times even before playing it and it never gets old and is a completely different feeling when it’s you at the controller.

pacing falters a bit when you get the long exposition bit of how hamura got involved in the mole shit but it was all interesting so i didn’t mind too much. plus seeing hamura in the flashback and how he interacts with people outside of the main cast was fun

ALSO yagami was totally ready to let shioya physically torture hamura for info (i assume, maybe he was bluffing) and my guy that’s a crime you can’t be doing this shit and then standing in court

and the mole’s kuroiwa!!! i kinda knew that going in but part of me was still convinced it was gonna be hattori the whole time. his entrance and fight scene is so cool tho, i can’t wait to fight him for real!

AND matsugane-san... the line about him failing as oyaji and then trying to make it right as oya was really good, and it being the catalyst for hamura to come clean even in the face of his own death (he’s not suriving this game, no way) was nice. who’s gonna tell kaito :(((

my one gripe is murase’s death scene it’s so out of nowhere that it kind of comes across as funny which is unfortunate asdfghjkl OH and why’s mafuyu there when kuroiwa shows up to take yagami in for questioning, did yagami call her or smth off-screen

also when you get back to kamurocho after all that and yagami’s like ‘i’m exhausted, i just wanna crash’ (fair, he’s had one hell of a rough night) guess who fucking texts me. KIM PLEASE FIX THE KEIHIN ON YOUR OWN MAN yagami’s solving government corruption i think he deserves a break from being harrassed inthe street constantly asdfghjkl

cane man has an identical twin??? why are there so many twins in this game, did you have so few character models at your disposal

idk if yagami telling all these people who the mole is is a great idea, like, even just the suggestion of who it might be got shintani killed in a heartbeat. does he really think mafuyu or ayabe are gonna be okay after this?

oh we’re playing as saori again, neat. tho there’s some uh questionable choices in this section... ig they’re going for a ‘this is what it’s like to be a woman seen as a sexual object all the time’ but by sexualising her during those sections it falls completely flat. ah well. not sure what i expected tbh. ganbatte hoshino-kun

ALSO during that bit saori is like ‘flirt for me i’ve never had experience seducing men’ (specifically men, in both the subtitles and original jp dialogue) and yagami AT NO POINT is like ‘neither have i’. bi and lesbian solidarity!

torture pt 2 asdfghjkl love that the actual no criminal background yagami is more morally grey than actual criminal kiryu (or, well, he acts on it more? idk they feel different about it)

sugiura being that pissed off at kido tho, what did he do to you man? spill your secrets

tailing mission for ishimatsu ughhhhh the only one i’ve had problems with, mostly cos we’re going in circles

experience inside of the love hotel: this place is super creepy, they did not need to make it this creepy- ooh vibrator weapon i’ll be taking that asdfghjkl

ohh that’s why sugiura was being so hard on yagami. all those comments about the death penalty and the anger towards kido make sense now. could’ve done with a bit more foreshadowing for him imho (it’s not like it comes out of nowhere but it needed a bit more for it to be impactful maybe? or maybe it needed a proper cutscene, not the in-engine ones). his little ‘chigau?’ to yagami after his rant about how the chief prosecutor covered up the murders for the sake of a maybe future right in front of him is sooo good, excellent bit of character performance.

wanna know where he pulled the name sugiura from tho ngl

higashi reaching for kaito after kuroiwa has just beat the shit out of them :(((

i’m in the finale??? oh shit. i’ve still not touched the drone minigame oops

the substory where the guy is gonna kill himself cos he thinks girlfriend is cheating on him is a kind of a mess in the way these substories always are in rgg games but the bit where he jumps off the roof and it says fall in love on the back of his jacket and yagami’s like :o really got me ngl reminded me of the old school revelations a bit

the guy from the opening came back! good for him (twice!)

i love this cast, i love how they bounce off each other, it feels like it’s hitting all the beats 6 missed in its banter and far far surpassing them.

i got the glitch where the heat action happens and the camera doesn’t do what it’s supposed to! asdfghjkl very funny seeing yagami slam a guy into the ground twice with a teleport in between

I FINISHED IT holy shit that last section is so fun to play through. all the boss fights (aka kuroiwa x3 asdfghjkl) are great, the QTEs are creative and just really fucking cool, and the pay off for the trial was absolutely worth it. and bits of it made me laugh! sugiura being like ‘bengoshi yoroshiku!’ right as he kicks a cop in the face is GOLD and there’s so many moments like that.

it’s occurred to me before but it really struck me in the finale just how many people supporting him yagami has and how he’s so comfortable relying on them, mainly compared to kiryu. like, 6 (which has a similar friend structure tho less based around it) never felt like a lonely game when i was playing it but compared to judgment? night and day. fuck, i wanna play it again just to hang out with the characters again and i’ve only just finished it

also random thing but the ending credits are really good? like the slice of life stuff of kaito and yagami trying to find the cat and it evading them a few times, like even with no dialogue they conveyed so much in that one bit. need more end credits like this

actually thinking about it yagami leaving shono to look after sugiura after he got shot was kind of fucked up? i know it was a ride or die kind of situation but bro! he killed sugiura’s sister! how do you think sugiura feels about this!

drone minigame was okay, feels like a mix of pocket circuit and the taxi minigame. did i do well? no. am i gonna invest many hours into this? also no, but i see how i could.

mad that i need to do both mahjong and poker to access bits of the side content so i’m just not gonna!

Yandere Quirrel x Quiet/Stoic Reader Hcs

A/n: oh quirrel my beloved,,,also I put stoic in the title bc I focus on the reader’s silent wisdom. Don’t worry, I’ll make smth for our lovely thembos himbos and herbos soon!

WARNINGS: yandere behaviors, obsessive behaviors, hints towards smut?

Worshipper. I cannot stress this enough: WORSHIPPER. He is a bug who strives to dedicate his life to the lives of others, preferably someone he encountered on the road. Although your first interaction on the road would be pretty average, him spouting off some strange question about the place you rest and you distantly responding as thoughts consumed you, the obsession would form later on. Most likely, in Hallownest after Ghost completes their quest. (Let’s go with dream no more ending.)

The archivist would attempt to find some normalcy after finding out all his work was for naught, only to find memories of you washing up. His time in the Wastes….if Monomon had directed him out there, guiding him from kingdom to kingdom, surely your meeting must’ve meant something? The two of you couldn’t have possibly just stumbled onto each other. If there’s one thing he learned in the Wastes, it’s that every bug you meet will teach you a lesson. Be it keep your geo close, keep your nail closer, or that the stars make wonderful guides, they have something to say.

That was the thing though: he didn’t learn anything in particular about you or from you. You two had vaguely discussed the common topics, such as star maps and fighting techniques. Very little personal information was disclosed from your side. All he knew was that your nail was deadly sharp, you were a traveler, and that your next stop would most likely be Hallownest. What odd circumstances to lead the only bug that never bestowed a tip upon him to his home. Indeed, what odd circumstances.

For days, Quirrel found himself stalking the howling cliffs at the kingdom’s edge, watching for any sign that his ominous companion had finally traveled to their new home. His heart thudding at the idea of seeing those exhausted eyes again, at feeling your hand gently but forcefully moving him out the way of danger, to listen to your voice as you traced the map he had. Oh gods, when did your name start filling his stomach with lumaflies?

One night, when the bug found himself drifting off into a dreamless slumber, he felt a hand gently fix the hood that kept him warm, and heard the fire crackle as though being fed more food. He had set himself up a little camp in waiting, and what wondrous news it was that you found him dozing before some less kind creature happened upon a bountiful meal such as himself. Only by instinct did his spindly hand find yours, pulling it down and pressing a nervous kiss to it.

Despite the oddity of the kiss, and how slightly perturbed it left you, you were pleased to see a familiar face. Especially bordering on a dead empire with rumors of a disease driving those inside mad. The two of you descended down rocky cliffs, easing your way into King’s Pass and up through to Dirtmouth. Along the way Quirrel suddenly began to reveal his vast knowledge of Hallownest, with quips on areas he’d love to take you (he spoke of them almost as dates) and where he’d love to spend the rest of his life. Soon enough, his constant chatter started to crowbar information out of you, of your “home” and the things you loved doing. Every time your voice would quietly raise to signal your wish to speak, his head would snap to attention and gaze become almost awed.

Your travels took you deep into the kingdom, to a city filled with never ending rain, a place Quirrel day dreamingly called the “City of Tears”. He spoke of days when he was younger, how he hated the rain. It made you laugh, and once again he stopped. Slowing down he gazed gently at you, muttering something below his breath. With a prod and tap, he sighs and speaks louder, “I’m sorry my dear.” A sudden shock was delivered to your back, the feeling traveling up your spine and spreading through your nerves.

The sight of nothing was burned into your eyelids by the time you had awoken, the rain now deafened by the thick walls of the expensive apartment, most likely owned by some shambling corpse outside. Pillows were piled below you, blankets keeping you warm from the cool. A light weight rested on you, a blue hood peaking from under the sheets. It nuzzled closer to you, a lovesick sigh being released. Two eyes peaked up, a warm blush dusted across his cheeks. “Hi there. Im sorry I had to hurt you my dear, but know I’ll keep you safe. I live to please you. I’d do anything for you.” His voice became breathless at the end, as Quirrel pulled himself up to place his forehead against yours.

“And I mean anything.”

DONE DONE DONE

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I finally dished something out for my love quirrel,,

[bakugohoex]

reader confronting katsuki about his anger issues and how he bullies deku too much and they scream "don't u wanna be a hero?!" or smth like that and it strikes a nerve but also makes him Sad bc he wanna be a hero don't call him a villain :((

“you’ll never be a fucking hero if you keep acting like a dick to midoriya”

pairing: katsuki bakugo x female reader

cw: language, bit of angst bit of fluff

word count: 1400+

a/n: hey guys, hope you enjoy this little headcanon thingy i dont know what it’s called lmao

summary:  in which after seeing bakugo continue his bullying with midoriya, you take it upon yourself to stick up for the boy and bakugo get’s a lot more than he expected, finally realising that his act cannot go on for any longer

↞ back to my hero academia masterlist

Another day, another Bakugo shouting at Midoriya.

You could see in Midoriya’s eyes how much he looked up to the boy, you may have only known the two for a couple months now but seeing Bakugo scream at the boy again.

It was too much, the anger in explosions, the way Midoriya tried to hold him back.

He was extra pissed today and was taking it out on the green haired boy.

Being close friends with the boy, the shouting of Bakugo had made your instincts act out.

You left your own partner, Kirishima, and marched past everybody. They could all see your own anger; you were going to protect the boy and they were not going to stand in your way.

You grabbed Bakugo’s collar and this boy was in shock, nobody had ever done something like this.

His actions stopped as you dragged him out kicking and shouting for you to let go of him.

“Y/n, what the fuck? Don’t fucking ever do that shit again?” He scowled outside of the training rooms.

You tapped your foot lightly, but you were pissed, fucking annoyed even. He looked angry at you but kept it under wraps. If someone was to analysis Bakugo they would realise how he had a soft spot for you after both of you fought against each other at the spots festival. Hell he even remembered your name and quirk, he may have been nicer to you but his anger that he had suppressed for you needed to be let out somehow.

“Bakugo, you’re going to listen to me, oh so help me God, I will make you look like an idiot inside.” He took a sharp breathe only nodding at how easily you had shut down his frustrations.

“What the fuck do you think you’re playing at? Leave Midoriya the fuck alone, you don’t need to be so fucking rude to the boy. You might think it makes you look all powerful but all I see is a bully.” You took your own deep breath, “you’ll never be a fucking hero if you keep acting like a dick to Midoriya.”

He stood taking it all, all the anger you felt from how he acted towards the boy, he took it all in. The last thing he had ever wanted was to hear the words you had said and worst of all, it was you who had said it. The girl who had nearly beat him, the girl who had always been so kind and nice to those around her. The girl he had almost become infatuated with, you were the one shouting at him, telling him he was the one in the wrong.

“Get a fucking grip, Bakugo.” With the final words you left him speechless outside, he couldn’t speak, couldn’t move. But anger filled him, the sound of his explosions arose from behind you, but you didn’t turn around shaking your head to let him have his tantrum.

You had spent time with him, even studied with him. He never acted the way he acted to Midoriya to you, he always seemed nice and a lot calmer. But watching how hurt Midoriya looked, it hurt you to see your friend upset.

“You don’t get to fucking say shit Y/n.” You stopped in your steps, you were half way inside before his words caught up to you. He was shouting at you, his eyes filled with sadness, you were close enough to see it. But the rest of the class who were watching the scene could only see anger.

“Bakugo…”

“No, Y/n, you can’t say that shit and leave like that.” His voice seemed weaker and his arms may have been out towards you. But no yellow explosions were coming out from it, he just had anger within him. He hated you protecting the young Midoriya, but he knew that you shouldn’t care as much, that you had never stopped him before. So why now?

You didn’t meet his gaze, instead looking to the side, “fucking look at me.” Your eyes flickered to his own and he was about to speak when a much angrier Aizawa stomped towards you. He looked pissed at the two of you not training.

“You two stop talking now.”

“Yes sir.” You both spoke in unison, before you left to go back to Kirishima.

The words had repeated through Bakugo’s head since the encounter outside, he respected you for saying what you said. To stand up to him, but he could see how it had ruined your friendship.

Whenever you’d be in the elevator going up to your rooms, you’d stay on your phone, refusing to talk to him, or if you both were waiting for Aizawa to come in. You’d leave your seat behind him and go talk to Midoriya or Todoroki, he hated it so much.

This is how he ended up doing something entirely rash and a lot more unexpected. It was the end of the day and you were about to leave to go back to the dorms. A hand had grabbed your wrist however, “Y/n.”

Bakugo’s voice was hesitant, but you turned to meet his gaze. He let go of you, scratching the back of his head before speaking again, “I want to prove to you that I am he…hero material, so just umm wait here.”

You were hesitant at first, but you stayed outside, you noticed him walk towards Midoriya who at the sight of seeing Bakugo looked timider than ever. Bakugo gestured you to come over, which you did waiting to see what he’d say to the young boy, “I…I’m sorry.”

Midoriya looked more confused than ever, “are you ill Kacchan?” Midoriya began to try to inspect Bakugo’s face.

“Let go me stupid nerd.” He got out of Midoriya’s way and looked at you.

“An apology won’t just fix a relationship Bakugo.” You had not been impressed with what you had seen, and you wanted to hear more.

“Okay, okay.” Bakugo looked back at Midoriya, “we’ve never been friends and I know we never will.”

You stared blankly at what he had said, that was not a good start, “but I shouldn’t have put all my anger on you, to be honest, all the niceness I give to y/n, I have left over anger that needed to go somewhere. It shouldn’t have been to you, I’m not trying to be nice to you, I’m still 100% better than you and your little nerdy friends but I won’t put the excess anger I have onto you.”

“Okay.” Midoriya had grown over the months, he didn’t need Bakugo’s approval for anything, he had grown to have other friends. Move past the boy from his childhood and you were glad about that.

Bakugo came to meet your gaze again, “yeah, yeah we’re fine now.” He grinned at you walking with you back to the dorms. “So what’s this about being nice to just me.”

“Shut up shitty woman.” He growled as you laughed.

“Hey, you’re supposed to be nice to me.” You pouted to the boy.

“Y/n.” He stopped you in your tracks, even with the acceptance he had gotten back from you, he was still upset about what you had said. “About me not being her…”

You interrupted him, touching his cheek. “It was rash, and I shouldn’t have said it.” You smiled up to the boy, your thumb caressing his face, “you’ll be an amazing pro hero one day and you’ll protect us all.”

“Even you.”

You laughed at his statement, “only if I’m in trouble, but I doubt I will be.” Just as you had let go of his face, he grabbed your arm bringing you closer.

Your faces only a mere inch apart from one another, he had bent down to reach your face. And he was happy, content even, he hated having you ignore him. Having you shut him down every time he tried to talk to you, but you had given him another chance and he was taking it.

His lips finally reached yours and you gave a low whisper, “do it future number one hero.” The command was all he needed to encase his lips against your own. The softness between one another and warmth that the boy brought was filled in the lustful kiss, his tongue guiding your own and the heavy breathes you both took after. It had been careless but soft and he had even more of a reason to become the number one pro hero and that was you.

[queenie-the-writer]

so, you want to start a writing account?

HI ROYALS. in this post i’ll just be giving some basic tips i wish i’d had before making my account! this is the second post of my series abt running a writing account :). what else do i even say in intros?? (don’t mind me just having a mini crisis while writing this) IM FINEEEEE

what should i post?

i think starting off with a “meet the writer” or some sort of intro to who you are is a great idea. that way people will feel like they know the person behind the account, which in turn could lead to people with similar interests reaching out and becoming friends.

after your first post, it’s really up to you. not every writing account posts tips, but you could post about your writing and wip if you have one, memes if you’re so inclined, book reviews, aesthetics like lookbooks or anything else you can come up with!! we love seeing creativity in this community and seeing smth new is always refreshing :)

finding a place in the community

the simplest thing is that this takes time. the more consistent you are with your activity, the sooner it will happen i’m sure. but don’t burn yourself out so quick!

one of the best things you can do is find a bunch of other writing accounts to follow. this will simultaneously help you make friends and increase your reach!

don’t be afraid to reach out in dms. plenty of us are ready to help and can understand where you’re coming from—so if you ever have a question or just want to talk, go for it!!

engagement

again, this will probably be slow going. and there’s nothing wrong with that! here’s a few quick tips when it comes to reach and engagement:

— aesthetic / theme: see next slide

— understand the algorithm: the insta algorithm is a fickle thing and we can never seem to grasp the concept for long, but as far as i’m aware the most valuable interaction is shares, the least being likes. feel free to research this! (and lemme know what you find)

— engage with others: more often than not, creators will notice your activity on their account if you’re consistent and wander over to your account to repay the favour!

— question of the day (qotd): often a simple question in the caption that gives followers the chance to leave a comment.

— hashtags: using tags that relate to you post helps your content reach other people! try to use big and small hashtags, and between 12-15 a post.

a short guide to acc aesthetics / themes

a specific theme isn’t obligatory when you make an account, but a certain vibe or aesthetic can definitely help in the growth department because let’s be real. we all like looking at pretty things, as much as we might say “don’t judge a book by its cover”. (a horrible mindset, rlly)

when it comes down to designating an aesthetic for your account, here’s some aesthetics to inspire:

— dark / light academia

— royalcore

— ethereal / fairycore

— indie

— minimalist

— black and white

THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES LIKE THE CREATIVITY IS ENDLESS.

in my experience, the more specific and unique your theme is, the better people will like it—taking my reign theme as an example!

but, when it comes down to what’s really important, it’s that you love the way your account looks. it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. it’s your space, so pour your heart and soul into it and make it your very own.

apps to download

— instagram: oh wait you prob already have this one huh

— canva: really useful for making posts, i use it for all of mine. user-friendly and there’s a lot to discover, i could spend hours on this app!!

— video star: a great tool for making end cards or adding music to a slide.

— feed preview for instagram: functions very simply, allows you to plan out what your account will look like before you post!

— picsart: good for editing photos and creating aesthetics!

— pinterest: the b e s t source for aesthetic photos and super easy to organize :)

final word

there is no right or wrong way to go about making a writing account. it should be a space for you and your writing and your characters, and a chance to find other writers like you. my best piece of advice would be to have patience and to persevere. do it because you love it, and if it starts to feel like a chore, stop. take a break. YOU GOT THIS <3

[mamichigo]

I read and rb’d ur botw post (loved it btw!!) and like idk how people don’t think it’s horror like, bestie if I’m walking around and a disembodied voice is like telling me not to go and to stay I’d fucking sprint out of there, I’ve seen enough scary movies to know that’s a bad idea

ANON YOU HAVE MY HEART FOR SENDING THIS BC I'VE BEEN RANTING ABOUT IT IN MT HEAD

I can actually explain every single one of my points. I'll give some examples!

For the old man, imagine you're playing BOTW for the first time. Everything is brand new and you excited to play. You meet this character who's kinda mysterious, but that's about it. He's clearly here to guide you through the beginning, he's part of the tutorial. That's all good and dandy. But then at specific times of the day he'll appear without an explanation. You're sure you've never seen him in this areas before. Maybe he's here to teach you a new mechanic, so you go to talk to him, but you get no dialogue except for "..............."

Why is this uneasy? Bc there's something very uncanny in the tutorial character appearing with no helpful input. He's not here to teach you anything. He has nothing to tell you. Then why is he here? This is your first sign that something in this beautiful, expansive world is very wrong.

Go forward a bit. The divine beasts. They keep roaring, and with it comes a garbled sound that's grating on the ears. You, the player, have no idea what that noise is supposed to be. Link, however, looks extremely disturbed. (And maybe later, after playing around with the sound sample, the community would find out it's the voice of the champion distorted beyond recognition). So you go through the entire dungeon hearing sos signs in morse code and and unsettling noises that may or may not be someone's voice.

Now imagine you, a first time player, freeing your first divine beast and moving on to the next quest. You notice you can see the champion's spirit when you use their power, but you don't think about it too much. You go to the stable to get a horse; the npc is terrified of you. They say someone is watching. Another npc says you shouldn't play with the dead. You slowly realize you're being haunted by your dead friend.

AND YES, THE VOICE. Imagine being in castle town and someone fucking calling out to you begging for help, telling you not to leave. Maybe you try to reach them but the malice drains your hp, so you know no living human being could possibly be under there, but there's still someone calling. If you return after leaving, all you hear is sobbing for the rest of the game in this specific area.

Because smth is psychological horror doesn't mean it isn't horror at all.

A GUIDE BARELY ANYBODY ASKED FOR: writing smut foreplay 101.

NOTE: every body is different. every person likes different things, and reacts different ways. i’m writing from my various personal experiences as a Self Assigned Hoe, also the self titled Smut Queen of the rpc. NONE OF THIS IS DEFINITIVE. if you’re unsure- ask your writing partner first. always.

pls be warned this is quite nsfw and straight up Filth. it also is written from my perspective as a cis-gender, pansexual woman.

IMPORTANT OOC STUFF:

always, always keep communication to your rp partner open. consent is sexy. especially with writing.

gauge the mood. if you suggest something to your writing partner and they just say ‘yeah’ or ‘ok’... don’t take it as 100% go ahead. sometimes people, especially in the rpc, will say yes just because they don’t know how to say no. an ENTHUSIASTIC YES is really really good and necessary!!!

vice versa, make sure you tell your partner if you’re not comfortable with something. if you said yes to begin with to writing a scene, but slowly u start feeling uncomfortable and weird... guess what? U CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND!!! I GUARANTEE U NOBODY WILL BE MAD! IF THEY ARE- DUMP THEM AS A WRITING PARTNER!  change your mind whenever u want, about whatever u want. writing is meant for u. its meant for u to be comfortable. ur lil safe kinky space, if u so wish it to be!

talk to ur partner. be their pal. be their fwend. writing smut can escalate v quickly, and if ur not an active talker to ur writing partner, then sometimes things can get misconstrued, or uncomfortable. even if it’s just a check in like ‘HEY HOW WAS UR DAY’ or ‘is what im writing ok????? i love when ur character does ___’ or idk. just be comfortable and friendly!!!

u don’t have to write paragraphs and paragraphs of smut. just.. give a lil detail though. give a lil smth to ur writing partner. like any other reply, just writing one sentence is not really enough for another writer to reply to.

GENERAL SEX TIPS THAT I’VE PICKED UP THAT HELP ME WITH WRITING:

anal is super popular and super wanted atm. i’m not going to say it’s a ‘trend’, bc it’s not really. but it’s definitely becoming more and more mainstream. this DOESN’T MEAN u have to do it / write it, but just know that most ppl atm are on the butt train (yahoo!). so.. yeah, expect anal to be a ~written abt thing or Wanted thing

other ‘popular’ kinks i’ve noticed atm (through fb groups im part of and just friends in general) are choking, and spanking. but this is NOT everybody’s kink. just bc it’s ‘popular’ doesn’t mean its right for ur character. kinky, rough sex is becoming more mainstream i’ve noticed.

a handjob is like.... not ever super wanted. it’s a handjob. it’s not the greatest thing in the world. as far as sexy things go, this is basic tier. a handjob is better than nothing, but i don’t rlly know anybody who actively wants a handjob.

same with fingering- look, fingering is fine, and it can get things in motion, but it’s really hard to orgasm from fingering. i’d say borderline impossible, but this is just from me (and, again, the gals in my lives) experience. fingering is GOOD as a beginning saucy movement, just like a handjob is good to begin with.. but climaxing from it is not Super Likely.

cum is messy and gets everywhere. everywhere. 

pre-cum is a thing. discharge is a thing. women getting wet is a thing. it’lll happen. it’s messy. it’s a lot sometimes, and it’s really.. slick (idk how else to explain it, but it helps with the MOVEMENT of things greatly). it’s good to write abt bc guess what? it means somebody is turned on! this is GOOD

look a ‘tight vagina’ or whatever u wanna call it, is not a Good Thing, bc it means a person isn’t turned on enough / wet enough

when writing basically anything about genitalia... use spit. oh my god use so much spit. be disgusting with how much spit is there, bc u need that as LUBE (unless ur writing ur characters using lube!!!)

write vocal characters. in my experience, nobody is ever 100% quiet during sexy times. if ur character is being touched in a way they like, trust me- they’ll be moaning. they’ll be rocking their hips. they’ll be whispering more, more, more, yeah, like that etc.

if writing rough sex, have a safe word for the characters ic. practice safe sex even with writing! safe words are rlly good bc they also actually help create a safe ooc environment too!! that way, if somebody doesnt want to say smth ooc, they can say it ic, and hopefully feel more comfortable 

write realistic sex. pls. write about the awkward noises. or the accidental wrong movement. or the laughing. sex isn’t always magnificent and beautiful. it’s clumsy and silly. and it’s fun to write it that way, bc.. look, smut is meant to be fun! so make it fun! write it as fun and silly and goofy as u want!!!!

yes cis-men have the prostate and its located in the butthole fdnjkfjkndf. but u can’t write ur character just shoving a finger in a butt. characters, just like people ooc, need to maintain communication before trying anything ‘new’ like that. safe sex everyone!!!

don’t go straight to what’s between the legs. neck kisses. nipples. breasts, back scratch, dirty talk... this is all VERY IMPORTANT to foreplay. don’t ever use write ur characters diving on in, especially not to female muses bc female bodies work v differently. we need waRMING UP! we need a lil teasing.

write hand movement! write where your characters hands are. are they carded through hair? are they gripping sheets? are they clawing at someone’s back? digging into scalps? hands are ALWAYS doing something.

writing about shaving / hair down there is not super necessary, but u do u.

involuntary noises / movements happen a lot when smth is GOOD during foreplay. gasps. moans. cries. hips jolting. mouth falling open. 

foreplay is so SO important before sex. in real life, and in smut. if i write with someone and they go STRAIGHT to writing sex, no foreplay, im like ... hewwo ?? this just isn’t realistic, and my coochie clenches. 

when writing... make ur characters ask the dumb qs u’d probably ask real life. ‘should i get a condom?’ ‘are you on anything?’ ‘did that hurt?’  ‘can i cum in you?’ ffjnkf u get what i mean? i hope.

cis men do cum pretty quickly, especially compared to women. 

showers are fine for sexy times, but WATER is NOT lubricant.

READ FAN FICTION. there’s some really really good fan fiction out there, and it actually does help with ur own writing 

if a character likes something and says ‘yeah’ or ‘like that’... that doesn’t mean necessarily to write another character ‘speeding up’ or getting rougher. if somebody likes something ‘like that’, then keep it ‘like that’, or pick up the pace a little as encouragement. 

WRITING HAND JOBS / FINGERING:

finger movement on the outside of a vagina is just as important as finger movement on the inside. sometimes it can be more important, bc some people are more sensitive on the outside. (i’m not using technical terms bc nothing abt this post is technical or medical lmao)

if u don’t use lube or spit on ur hand when giving a penis a handjob.. it’ll probably hurt the person a little and be rough and not very Easy on either party

a handjob can be pretty fuckin awkward (i’ve been told + found personally). it’s just two people lying / sitting there, with one hand uncomfortably angled to jack off another person. it’s probably the most silent of all foreplay things which is why every person i know (female, male, cis, non cis) hate handjobs. 

ur hand and fingers might cramp a little if ur fingering a female, and the movements might get a little clumsy, but thats OKAY TOO!!! 

the angle of ur hand when fingering is important. if ur just shoving it down some pants/  trousers, it doesn’t leave a lot of movement so it won’t be super Great. under a skirt, or better yet- naked, makes things a LOT easier bc u have more Room.

write about the fingers. write about them moving up and down. don’t just rub them over the clit, or have them inside a vagina. that’s not exactly how it works. we need some pressure. we need a little rub. mainly near the clitoris or on the actual clitoris itself

don’t ever start by writing fast movements. u gotta write about building a motion and speed. start slow, then speed it up. 

fingering: circular motions over near the clit slowly, then a liiiiittle faster. stroking motions up and down. moving up towards the clit properly, then back down and slowly inserting a finger. then pull the finger out. repeat. keep each movement slow and deliberate and teasing. fdjkndfbnjkdfjnk graphic, i know. but. i mean. that’s a good first foreplay move i’ve found ???

handjob: thumb over the tip first as a lil tease, then slowly roll your hand in a fist motion all the way down the length (keep ur arm in a ‘straight’ movement.) then back up. twist ur hand, especially near the tip. move a little faster if ur lubed up enough, and then u can even give a lil ball squeeze if ur feeling courageous. keep that movement going. the FASTER ur hand moves, the more close somebody will get to orgasm, bc for them it’s sometimes all abt friction. 

starting with fingering / a hand job is like the first step of a dance usually. start with hands and fingers, THEN rock on baby, to --

WRITING ORAL SEX:

as previously mentioned, use a LOT of spit or lube. slick that bitch up.

cis-women are never wet constantly. ever. in fact, u can get dry pretty quickly again, so it’s not uncommon to write abt somebody spitting ‘down there’, just like u’d spit on a penis when giving a blowjob. 

most cis-men like their balls being played with a lil. so.. dfjnknj write about balls. i know it can be awkward and weird and the word ‘BALLS’ is not sexy. just try mention some movement there. some playing, or squeezing, or whatever word u feel comfortable using. especially during blowjobs. it’s just a good thing to do if u don’t know what to do with ur hands. don’t go crazy and just grab balls really roughly. 

if ur writing about a blowjob on a penis, deepthroating is never gonna happen straight off the bat. u gotta warm up ur throat a little, get ur throat to relax inch by inch, and not gag a lot. i promise u can’t just shove a whole dick down ur throat, unless u have the gag reflex of a porn star.

BUT also. write gagging. gagging happens a lot with blowjobs. i’ve never blown a guy who hasn’t loved the sound of gagging / choking a little 

jaws ache from oral. it’s a lot of the same movements and exertion, and YEAH IT CAN HURT UR JAW

tongues are ur best friend. a tongue should definitely be mentioned when writing oral on ANYONE.

write about hands AND mouth when writing oral. (use fingers and tongue when writing about going down on a female, and use hand in a fist movement around penis, when writing a blowjob, bc gripping with ur hand what ur mouth can’t reach yet is a+)

when writing a blowjob, focus on balls, yes- but also mention the tip. it’s sensitive for most guys, so a lil swirl of the tongue, or a suck or whatever... that’s good usually!!!

when writing going down on a female- move the tongue a lot. over the clit. then back down. use ur whole damn mouth and get messy. some ppl have a sensitive clit and direct movement onto it can be a lil overwhelming / overstimulating / painful, so yes- clit is good, but it can also be a little too much for some ppl!

write about lips. when going down on someone, lips also create sensations. it’s not the same as TONGUE, obviously, but it’s still soft and warm and it’s definitely something u feel. 

if ur writing about eating a girl out: tongues can be soft and flat, or they can a little pointy when u tense them. alternating between these 2 movements can be rlly good and pleasurable. starting soft and flat near the clit is good, before moving down to stick ur tongue in a little, and move it / wiggle it. but trust me - most of the action should be SOFT especially near the clit, bc it’s sensitive.

if you’re writing about a blowjob: suction. and moving quickly. hollow out those cheeks, and write about the tongue moving as the mouth does. suck hard, but not like.... ur character isn’t a vaccuum cleaner. they should suck ‘eagerly’ or whatever, and use their hand and tongue to help them out. trust me ur jaw will lock / hurt, u cannot suck a dick for like an hour. 

if u deepthroat a penis enough, ur voice can get pretty fucked up sounding, but i’ve never had it last longer than the next day or so. it just sounds like u’ve got a cold / sore throat (and thats bc u do)

some people just don’t like oral. some people aren’t comfortable in their bodies and can’t get out of their minds when it comes to it- which is super understandable. it’s a very intimate, close thing, bc hello -somebody is staring at ur genitalia basically. so hey, if u don’t wanna write it / don’t like it, then that’s completely chill too!

you don’t have to write about ‘the taste’. in fact, it’s absolutely ok and i’d prefer if u don’t bc i personally think that gets a bit weird. u can mention there IS a taste, but u don’t have to get into particulars bc that can get kinda icky. like ... it’s genitalia. we all know it won’t taste like a peach or whatever.

cis-women orgasm from oral sex, i think sometimes more often than they orgasm from actual penetrative sex? this is based off things i’ve read, and again, my own experience. 

oral sex can take a loooong ass time to reach orgasm sometimes. it’s barely ever a two-reply-thread piece. it’s always gonna be longer then that, if ur writing it realistically. sometimes reaching climax during oral, for any gender, can take anywhere up to an hour ??? if we’re being generous ??? again, cis men are more likely to cum first, BUT good oral sex can be dragged on for a while, for anybody. 

WRITING ASS / ANAL STUFF:

im gonna say it straight up. yes. it kinda feels like pooping almost when somebody fingers ur butt. but in a weirdly.. good way. idk how to describe it. 

getting fingered in the ass is SLOW work.  a finger will NOT just go in, especially not DRY. u need saliva / lube. you need the other person to be relaxed, or breathing, and u need to coax them through it all.

u don’t really know whats going on back there if ur on the receiving end. like. u can’t TELL by feeling on what’s going on. real talk: a guy fingered me once and i thought it was two fingers, but it was 3, and then later- when he put his dick in it was fine as well bc he’d relaxed me and gotten me to feel rlly comfortable and Safe. so TRUST me thats important when writing butt stuff. i can’t stress it enough.

it feels Strained. like it isn’t necessarily painful the entire time, but u can FEEL very full. so yeah, nobody is gonna have a finger in their ass and then immediately be ready for another, or be bouncing back , knuckle deep. u need a lot of patience and time for this.

if ur a cis-female... butt stuff is Fine, but its not a way to achieve orgasm, bc honestly there’s nothing stimulating u. it feels nice and the Roughness can be a kink, but u probably won’t orgasm / cum from it

use a lot of spit and a LOT of lube

u can’t just shove a dick / multiple fingers in someones ass either. u gotta stretch it out. take ur time. it literally can take an hour + sometimes more to get someone relaxed and stretched out enough. the amount of spit / lube and fingering needed is ridiculous

when it comes to ass stuff- make sure ur character is BREATHING in order to relax their muscles. everytime they’re relaxed, everything moves easier (this just goes for sex stuff in general too!)

eating ass is a thing, and look- ur not meant to ‘douche’ regularly bc apparently it’s bad for u. so if ur writing abt anal / butt stuff, u do NOT need to write abt anything poopy related or any of the douching stuff. its a silent rule, just like in real life. we don’t talk abt it djknfgnkjd

honestly, the overall feeling of Butt Stuff is just one of being Full and a lil Stretched, and if ur into Pain / a very different feeling then it’s a Good Feeling bc it just is all abt trusting n putting ur body in someone else’s hands (and fingers)

getting ur ass eaten feels warmer / more pleasurable than fingers bc a tongue in general is just nicer and softer then fingers are. 

spread them cheeks, boys, girls and non gender conforming folk

if ur gonna touch a cis-girls ass with ur tongue or fingers or anything... pls make sure ur stimulating her clit at the same time. i promise that can make things speed up in terms of relaxation and pleasure v quickly.

always ask a cis-male before going near his ass (but also in general, always ask before doing anything), especially rlly Straight Dudes bc they get SUPER defensive abt their own ass being touched 

anal stuff can be GREAT for foreplay just bc it’s a bit risque and it’s a bit Rougher and Harder just bc it’s a tighter hole. so, honestly yeah a lil finger in the ass whilst being eaten out isn’t terrible, or being fingered there at the same time as being fingered elsewhere can  also feel pretty Spicy, depending on ur taste

for cis-men, butt stuff  can be a  VERY quick way to orgasm. especially if ur blowing them / stroking them at the same time

anal / ass stuff isn’t for everyone. don’t write it if ur not comfortable. don’t do it if ur not comfortable. 

WRITING AN ORGASM:

the body shakes, tenses, spasms and generally loses a little bit of control

ur grip turns very intense and Harsh

back arching is a Thing

hands yanking at hair is a Thing

for when a cis-man orgasms... it can happen quite suddenly, but it’ll be a little twitch, and u can FEEL them tense. fast movement is what usually gets them to orgasm Quicker, i’ve found. 

for everybody else, i feel like it can be harder to achieve orgasm, but when it happens- your legs get all tense and squeeze the SHIT out of the head between them, and u definitely make some noise. orgasm can just happen, and sometimes with women especially.. it’s kinda easier to fake orgasm bc there’s never truly a Way To Tell physically???? this could be entirely wrong, of course, but there’s SO MUCH discussion and research based on the female orgasm that i feel like i can’t write anything abt it here bc it’s SO different for everyone.

just follow the general rule: ‘you’ll know when it happens’. ‘you’ll know when you know’. 

orgasms won’t always happen. it can get CLOSE but not happen, and it’s not always some big disappointing, ‘blue-balls’ event. it happens, or it doesn’t. sometimes u can write amazing head, and the other character won’t cum, and u know what? that’s ok too.
