#I’m so sorry for the delay

[batwynn]

Ok tomorrow is a work day. I will not have the endless headache. I will wake up and the pain will be gone. Manifesting. Mansplain. Etc.

[businesscasualart]

I’m curious if you have any thoughts or headcanons about Onslaught and alcohol. I imagine being a semi-functioning evil team is stressful and if Psimon is chucking everyone’s vapes then cigs and 420 isn’t an option, then alcohol is the second best thing right? Besides drinking together is team building and leads to this wonderful thing called “actually talking about your trauma instead of bottling it up for once”.

AAAA sorry about taking so long to get around to this.

I need to stop checking my inbox until I’m FULLY ready to yap and ramble. I need that lil blue dot reminding me I have asks so bad.

That IS a good question and I’m so flattered that y’all bother with my content. <3 I think they’d be at least somewhat different about alcohol.

(Sorry for any typos in advance, I wrote this mostly at various doctor’s appointments. ALSO. Last thing to apologize for. I’ve never vaped or smoked when I wrote the last part, but I also have never consumed alcohol and that fact may be more evident in this one)

Cw: Alcohol and some references to alcoholism, uh…references to angst but maybe more comfort than angst, kinda all over the place <\3

Okay so, in the beginning, Onslaught was Mostly teens. Psimon was BARELY even old enough to drink in America at the ripe young age of 21, flat. And I thinnkkkkkk Psimon is American? Even if he’s not, it seems the rest of Onslaught is, so I think  Psimon would probably step up and be all “No, no,” confiscate all the bottles and cans and it’d make the teens so mad and indignant. Literal felons are being BABYSAT. Even when they travel where the drinking age is lower. 

But when the teenagers turn old enough to drink, they have a whole little birthday celebration with what they can get, and of course, offer the first taste of alcohol. Their choice for what it is, as long as the team could afford it. Of course, they laugh and tease if they recoil from the taste. 

Most of the team is pretty fond of drinking, usually together. It’s nice bonding.

Devastation is the only exception to the “Psimon Says no alcohol until you’re 21” rule from the beginning. The team can argue “She is LITERALLY one (1) year old” all they want. She is LITERALLY built different, Psimon is fine with her drinking. 

Idk if she particularly has a preference for any kind. She’s probably one of those who subscribe to the belief of “It ain’t right if it doesn’t burn a bit going down”. Wine is probably somewhat…nostalgic. For some reason. Takes her back to someplace she can’t name, someplace she’s never been, but I think that’d be one of the only reasons she might prefer wine. Her taste may be all over. May be whatever’s strong and good. I’m no alcohol savant, what do I know? 

She likes to drink to celebrate and to bond, sometimes to ebb at stress. It takes a LOT to get her drunk, but that’s not gonna stop her from getting drunk when she has the time and money burn on it. She gets drunk and gets even more jovial and warm and open, though she’s usually relatively open. Also, haphazard. She becomes a big fan of violating people’s personal space. Hugs, patting backs, throwing her arm around them, leaning on people shorter than her, etc.

It can annoy a lot of people if she does it too much, Psimon strangely doesn’t seem to mind too much tho…aheem…

Besides that, Psimon’s generally against the team drinking to the point of drunkenness, but there’s little to actually do about it; he struggles to track all of their limits, and when he’s focusing on one, that leaves all the others alone. He tries to avoid getting drunk himself instead. Someone has to stay sober, and his psionic powers don’t mix well with too much alcohol. And he’s the leader. It makes the most sense that it’d be him to keep his wits about him.

The Terror Twins are hearty drinkers; they also can drink a lot and get very warm and jovial when drinking, like Devastation. Any outing to a bar feels celebratory with them. They decided they don’t like to get fully drunk though, not too regularly. First Tuppence decided this, then Tommy when she pointed it out to him. They don’t want to open up more quickly than they intend. Psimon can relate to that, so he defends them when they drop out. That doesn’t stop them from having fun with everyone else though, or helping when things get bad. They’re usually decent at opening up on their own time anyway. 

Shimmer and Mammoth like to follow Psimon’s lead and keep excess drinking to a minimum. A couple of shots, a glass or maybe two, it really depends on what it is, but that’s it. Mammoth can take more than his sister, just by merit of him being so much larger, but he doesn’t like the taste of alcohol at all while his sister does. However, the second either of them get any kind of buzz ebbing at their senses is the second they quit. 

If they’re found sitting down and downing drinks, something is wrong. They’d only let go so much if they’re trying to drown their problems. Then, they can use some company. Someone lending an ear to their sorrows doesn’t sound half bad. 

If another team member is in a similar situation and needs someone to simply sit next to them and just be, or listen, Baran and Selinda are quick to be there for them.

Junior drinks for fun, he’ll seize any opportunity to drink. That man is getting “Krunk” as the kids say. He doesn’t know his limits and if he did, there’s no telling if he’d actually adhere to them. He WILL blackout if no one keeps an eye on him. He will be puking in the trashcan. The rest of the team has to steer him away from opportunities to drink lest he develop alcoholism at the tender age of 5-minutes-into-being-able-to-legally-drink. 

His mood becomes turbulent and fragile. He’ll typically be happy, loud, reckless, aggressive; but at the mention of the wrong thing or at the sight of something that takes him way back, he can breakdown rather easily. It’s actually pretty common for his drunken stints, when they get out of hand, to end in tears. Junior has to be one of the least repressed members of Onslaught, due in no small part to moments like these; where he lets his emotions run rampant and they go down a bad path. 

He’d expect ridicule, but Onslaught is actually very sympathetic to his struggles and complaints, whatever they may be. He can air his dirty laundry as much as he wants with little to no judgement, something he’s not used to. Once he starts, it’s hard to stop, but the team will listen until the end and it’s something he’s really grateful for. Despite being a troublemaker and general criminal, he tries to pay the team’s kindness towards him forward as much as he can.

If Psimon does end up drinking to lose his troubles, he usually does it alone, when everyone else is asleep. Or at least when he thinks everyone else is asleep. Sometimes someone will wander about looking for a late night snack or a glass of water, or even search for him himself. He dislikes being caught like that, dislikes not being so impervious and put-together for the team. 

Without fail, they’ll sit with him awhile. They’ll ask, they’ll listen, they’ll joke or comfort or sit in silence. Psimon will wither in place or try to get them to leave him be, but they’re a stubborn lot. They’re far from the most “upstanding” of company, but they treat him with the same care, empathy, and concern he tries to treats them with; and Psimon finds afterwards that, despite not enjoying being caught in a state of weakness or forced to open up, he wouldn’t have rather it have gone any other way.

Is we’ll make it an abandoned fic? (I genuinely don’t mean this in a rude way I’m just curious if it’s making a comeback)

Hey! I’m sorry, no it’s not abandoned I’m actually planning to start writing again this week I just need to reread so I don’t make any massive mistakes with the storyline!

[grumpypixistix]

Oh my god, so much has happened over the past few months- I’m so sorry for the inactivity 😭😭😭

Also I probably won’t be writing about Eddie as much, maybe expect some Miguel O’Hara stuff here and there? It all depends on when I feel the motivation to write sooo… just a heads up 😅

making out with jason in the backseat of his car mhmmmmmm

tags: fem reader, slight dumbification

it was exhausting, the bickering that hadn’t seemed to stop after leaving the gala you and jason had attended. you weren’t sure where it started, but it was painfully obvious that jason’s vigilante work was stressing him out, on top of bruce forcing him to go to gala’s every weekend.

gala season was exhausting in itself, but when working a job during the day, attending galas every weekend, and being a vigilante at night, jason was frustrated.

fifteen minutes from the gala and twenty minutes from yours and jason’s home, he had pulled his car into a commuter parking lot that was empty. flickering yellow lights partially illuminating the space, but the dark tinted windows didn’t allow much of it to make its way inside of the vehicle.

you’re turned in your seat, arched eyebrow while jason’s hands are holding the steering wheel with a grip that had the potential to snap it in half.

jason wasn’t saying anything as he took his hands off the steer, opening his car door and closing it with a harsh sound, making his way to the back end doors and taking a seat in his backseat, eyes looking at you knowingly.

"please don’t make me wait," his words come out like a warning, like if he has to ask again, he’s not going to touch your body for the next week.

your eyes watch his figure, the way he’s sat in the middle of the three seats that line the section of the car. his legs that are spread in a way that’s inviting you to take your seat where you belong. one arm is crossed over his chest while the other is resting on it, hand holding up his tilted head that has a bored expression on it, lips in a straight line and eyebrows holding no emotion.

you know better, so you do as he says, slipping into the back seat and sitting on his lap comfortably, the top of your head touching the car roof, but the slight discomfort is wavering as you're stared at with dark eyes.

"you know i’m tired baby. don’t you?" he asks, crossing his hands over his chest, careful to not touch the hips that he would usually claim as his. your head nods, eyes widened at the fact that your boyfriend isn’t all over you yet.

his eyebrow arches half a centimeter, moving back down to where it was not a second later. "then why do you keep testing me? can’t ever listen to me when i say be quiet, can you? just wanna keep running your mouth, and at a gala too? no fucking manners."

he's right, you know you need to stop blabbering on when jason tells you to be quiet. you know how to act at galas. hell, you've been to hundreds, it felt like. but... can you blame yourself for wanting attention? after all, you're getting it just like you'd planned.

you're quiet, looking at every line on your boyfriend's face, like studying the face you've grown to love will give you an answer on what to say next. but, jason knows what you're about to say; he knows the way you're about to apologize one-too-many times, all pathetic.

so, uncrossing his arms from his chest, a hand grabs your chin and pulls you forward, smooshing your lips together with his in nothing but harsh intent. a kiss that's short of sensual and filled with teeth and uncomfort—until it isn't. until jason's tongue is licking the inner of your cheeks and the roof of your mouth. until your lipgloss is smeared over his lips and it's hard to catch your breath and you can't help but to grind yourself down on his growing erection. as always, you'll get the attention you deserve, that jason swears he'll never give you, 'till he does.

note: am wishing everyone a good and great finals season. scheduling this 4 saturday so my blog isn’t dry asf hahaha. wooohoooo two more weeks!

What do you think are Merlin and Arthur’s greatest personality strengths and weaknesses? Why? What do you love about their dynamic?

Also, what are your top 5 favorite moments from Merlin BBC? Sorry if you've answered this questions before....

Ooh, those are great questions! And don’t worry; I haven’t done these yet. Thank you for the ask! I am so, so sorry that it’s taken me so long to get to this; I’ve been having a time the past few weeks, and I wanted to give you a properly thought-out answer.

Okay, so: Merlin. I think the idea of strengths and weaknesses for him really comes from whose perspective you’re looking from. If we’re looking at what makes him such a compelling character, then I think his greatest strength is his complete and unconditional devotion to Arthur. That is what draws me, at least, so totally to his character—not in the sense that he isn’t a fascinating and full character separate from Arthur, but in the sense that his self, especially in the later seasons, is so fundamentally tied to Arthur that it’s impossible to have Merlin as he is without Arthur. However, if we’re looking at strengths and weaknesses from the perspective of Merlin’s own mental health, this very same trait is his greatest weakness. The same is true if you look at all of the bad things that happened due to Merlin’s decisions: his worst decisions were made with Arthur’s best interests at heart.

Arthur’s strengths and weaknesses are, I think, a little easier to determine. His greatest strength is probably his dedication to his people and his determination to do what’s best for his kingdom. On the other hand, he is a bit of a dick, especially during the earlier seasons. He can also be quite oblivious (some of which is his character and some of which is questionable writing).

As for what I love about the dynamic, I think a lot of it comes down to the fundamental imbalance of the whole thing. I’m fascinated and quite compelled by unhealthy ship dynamics (I have my theories as to why, but we don’t need to get into that here), and just the fact that Arthur doesn’t know about Merlin’s magic means that their relationship can never be equal. And then, when you think about Merlin’s self-destructive devotion, it all becomes clear. Arthur is just as dedicated to Merlin as the other way around, but because Arthur doesn’t have all the information, he is unable to put in the same amount of effort and love as Merlin. [Autocorrect tried to change ‘love’ to ‘lube’. Just thought I’d share that.] Of course, there’s also the fucking chemistry; that’s what got me into them in the first place, but the unbalance of the whole thing is why I’ve stayed so long.

Top 5 BBC Merlin Moments

5. “Where does it say my destiny includes murder?” (S1E12)

This scene has always stood out to me during rewatches, because with the context of the full show, it’s dripping in dramatic irony. Merlin kills so many people for Arthur, most necessary and some not, and at some point he stops thinking twice about it, because he’ll do anything to protect Arthur. And this scene is so fucking sad, because he’s so innocent, and you just know that that’s all going to be ripped away.

4. Merlin poisoning Morgana (S2E12)

This is such a crucial turning point. This kind of solidifies Morgana turning sides, but it’s also the first moment you get to see that ruthlessly devoted side of Merlin. I mean, he poisons one of his closest friends to save Arthur. And I feel like this is one of the first times we really get to see how far he’s willing to go. Also, shoutout to Colin and Katie, because the acting was incredible.

3. That one five-second shot of Morgana grabbing Gwaine’s jaw (S4E12)

Look, I have deep reasons for the other ones. I’m allowed to have one shallow moment as a favourite. As a treat. They’re both so fucking gorgeous, and together? In that dynamic? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: they are conspiring to cause my death.

2. Arthur and Merlin’s fight in the marketplace (S1E1)

They’re both such sassy little shits in this scene, and I love them for it. But also the pure sexual tension in that scene is unreal. Like, Arthur is so fucking delighted to find someone who treats him like a normal person, and Merlin is just pissed off. Is there a better dynamic? I don’t think so.

1. Arthur’s death (S5E13)

It’s heartbreaking. I’m not denying that. But it’s gorgeous. Colin and Bradley did such an amazing job, and there’s so much love and heartbreak packed into those few minutes, and I actually don’t know what I can say about how much I love it other than just look at it.

okay! so i’m finally free from pinball and am just working my regular 9-5 now. updates will be fast approaching! i’m off tomorrow, so be on the look out for savage bonds 😏

[joocomics]

remember your first: part two / sneak peek

genre: smut, angst | dom!junhan x fem!reader

status: completed! read here

synopsis: music is what started your friendship with your college classmate han hyeongjun, but your virginity is what made it really blossom (reader has lost their virginity in p1)

fic warnings: corruption kink, degradation & humiliation kink, alcohol consumption, smoking (weed and cigarettes)

a/n: i have nothing else to say except i can’t stop thinking about this junhan. coming soon <3 PROMISE.

“Am I not enough to calm you down?”

“What do you mean?” Hyeongjun’s brows gather, he’s fuddled from the weed and needs more context.

“You said you smoke to get your mind off of things…” You narrow your eyes to his lips a bit shy from having to express your thoughts in details. “I was wondering if I can be enough to calm you down when you need it?”

For the first time Hyeongjun doesn’t try to hide the change in his gaze from you after you meet it again; he doesn’t try to prevent the emotion that sometimes creeps up and makes him feel too raw in front of you.

“Sometimes…” he admits, “but there are times when you overwhelm me.”

You stare at each other with red washed off eyes, dry lips and fuzzy minds that are too heavy from the rush, but also from the feelings they carry.

“In a good kind of way though,” he adds.

You lower your head, resting it in the crook of his shoulder and for a moment you just stay like this; immersing yourself into the comforting feeling of his embrace. The pungent smell of the weed clashes with his cologne as you take a deep breath.

You don’t realise how much time has passed since you’ve been staying like this, but at one point you place a wet kiss on the side of his neck and the contact awakens a desire for more. Seconds later you go for another one, and a third one. You kiss his skin that’s exposed from his black hoodie, then trace your tongue along the shell of his ear.

Hyeongjun tilts his head silently, letting you continue as his hands move from your lower back to your ass, groping it through such soft squeeze. You’ve never felt him touch it like this before.

As you cover his neck with sloppy smooches your hips make a move to let him feel your pussy through your thin shorts.

“Can we…” he suddenly speaks quietly, and you pull back. “Can we just stay like this? I’m tired.”

At first you nod in agreement, but then that urge to please him that has been living inside you for so long now, calls at you again.

This time, you decide to act on it.

“Hyeongjun... Can I do something for you?” Your lustful eyes look almost pleading as you ask the question. “I want to please you, you don’t need to do anything in return.”

Hyeongjun’s face creases when he smirks lazily at you. His knuckles stroke your flushed cheek before his long fingers put a few strands of hair behind your ear. He’s simultaneously observing your familiar features.

“You want to please me.” He feels the need to repeat your words, to really feel them out.

“So much…” you add, hoping you will get the chance to do so.

pleaseeee can we have one where we find lenny singing?? he never sings in the game but i think he’d have such a nice voice

“o mollie, o mollie— it’s for your sake alone ..” in the distance, you could hear sean’s drunken voice’s accompanied by the soft plucks of javier’s guitar, the melodic rhythm of the instrument blending in with the irishman’s voice. your footsteps concealed themselves as they hit the soft surface of grass beneath your feet as your head stayed turned towards the sight at the campfire.

squinting at the illuminated center of the area, you slipped behind the trees and took in the fresh air of camp. you looked out over the near edge, sinking in the sight of the trees that lay littered within the forests in the horizon.

trailing across the outskirts of camp, you frowned seeing the poor bastard tied up to a tree near the entrance, being terrorized by karen. you had to admit, as sweet as she could be, karen smith was a terrifying woman. although dutch referred to the man as an o’driscoll, you wondered how he felt right now whilst he was bounded to bark.

your ears had perked up, though, once you had heard the familiar twang of a voice you knew all too well.

your eyes fell on lenny, leaning on a barrel as he glanced around camp. the hearty yellow light of a lamp inside one of the tents reflected off of his skin, the warmth tinting his face as his lips fluidly moved with each syllable that was mumbled from his mouth in time with sean’s obnoxious voice— his irish brogue interrupted with a few drunken hic’s.

lenny hummed occasionally when he didn’t know the words, instead scatting to rhythm and slipping in and out of lyrics. once you had gotten close enough, you slowly approached him for behind, listening to how he muttered along with the song. “.. sweet mollie, the fairest in the land,” you heard once you had finally gotten close to him.

footsteps becoming more light and gentle as they graced the dirt, you listened out for more of lenny’s humming as you snuck up behind him.

his incoherent mumbling hit your ears as you heard the last part of the following verse, “..to enter her door,” accompanied with a quiet chuckle and an amused shake of his head.

“where’d you learn that from?” he jolted as you slipped around him and put a hand on his shoulder, giving him a sly grin in triumph as you had managed to scare him at least a little bit.

lenny’s shoulders slumped once he realized who’s voice it was, giving a meager laugh at your attempts. “ain’t it hard not to know a song that drunken fool sings every night?”

“which one?” you giggled, pointing at uncle and arthur singing along with sean, even getting javier to bop his head a little to the tune. lenny rolled his eyes amusedly, still giving a few hums to the music. you cocked your head at him, “why don’t you sing more often?” you asked.

he shrugged at your inquiry, “i’m not much of a singer.”

tsking at his response, you slipped in front of him and looked down at your feet— hands clasped behind your back. your head swayed with the distant song coming to its end, looking back at lenny with a small smile.

“well, you should stop by my tent sometime. maybe you can teach me some of them folk songs uncle and ‘em always sing.” you put a hand on his shoulder and gently squeezed, bidding him goodnight as you made your way to your space, leaving lenny with furrowed eyebrows as he watched you wave one last time before disappearing between the thin flaps of the canopy.

he chuckled once more. his head shook as he thumbed the spot where your hand had been on his arm— almost savoring the moment of what once was almost a real conversation. maybe lenny would actually get to talking with you one of these days. for now, the boy could only dream.

I wanna get this off of my chest since I’ve seen some reactions to stranger things 5 possibly being delayed that I don’t like.

1. “I cannot believe we have to wait one year more because of these protests”. Be passionate about this show all you want -clearly I cannot judge you for it- but people fighting for fair working conditions is so much more important than you getting to see the season sooner than later. Please, go touch some grass;

2. “When I started watching I was a kid and when I will finish it I will be old”. Okay and? Congrats I guess, granny;

3. “5 seasons in 9 years? They’re too slow”. This one pisses me off so much?? They got delayed for stuff out of their control and you’re pissed at them? I’m sorry the Duffer brothers DIDNT INVENT THE CURE FOR COVID I GUESS???

4. “The actors will be 30 yo playing kids”. This one does not even deserve an answer. Seriously.

UPDATE ON THE ABRUPT HIATUS

I haven't been too active on this Tumblr during the past few months. Due to health difficulties, I took the past month off to focus solely on my health and schoolwork in my last year. Now that I've graduated and have more free time, I intend to devote my focus to this blog throughout June and possibly in the next months.

My progress on Chapter Three has been consistent, albeit I had to pause to fix several story holes and technical mistakes. I apologize for not communicating the blog's direction prior to my hiatus. Please be assured that this is not a dead or abandoned project! "TOWMR" is still live and will continue till the story is finished.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. I hope to release Chapter Three soon! :)
