#Mano Le Tough

[flan-tasma]

Oh my god- thank you for filling my Alhaitham request!! I was wondering whenever you have time, if you could write subby! Alhaitham fucking reader (gender-neutral) desperately trying to get them to cum while he cums multiple times inside them <3 Thank you again!!!

💖~ I'm glad you liked it! (Sorry if I don't say much other than this, but I just woke up lmao)

Warning: smut, creampie, GN!Reader | Google Translate sponsors me (it's a lie) If I made any mistakes in the english translation, I would be happy to read your comments! | Content in spanish and english

Spanish:

A Alhaitham le gusta mucho correrse dentro de ti, por lo que rara vez tienes su semen en otro lugar distinto, y hoy no fue esa excepción.

Lo habías montado tanto y tus entrañas y muslos estaban pegajosos por la cantidad de semen que Alhaitham había descargado dentro de ti.

Aún así Alhaitham es un hombre resistente y siempre te pidió que lo dejaras pintar tus paredes de blanco una y otra vez.

La sobre estimulación que su polla recibía no era precisamente algo despreocupante y lo hacía temblar al compás de sus gruñidos, sus caderas se movían por sí solas tratando de alcanzar tan dichoso punto que amaban los dos.

Te besaba desordenadamente y jugaba con tus pezones, incluso alcanzaba tus partes para masajear y estimularte para que pudieras correrte, a este punto estaba obsesionado con que jadearas y que te faltará el aire.

Entre jadeos la voz de Alhaitham te rogaba que te corrieras una vez más, sus susurros venían acompañados de chupetones en tu clavícula y hombros y sus manos seguían acariciando todo lo que pudiera darte placer.

Cuando ambos terminan, a Alhaitham le gusta tomarse un tiempo para ver el semen que cae a las sábanas y que cuelga de tus partes, incluso llega a secarle la boca y puede que te limpia con su lengua antes de dar un último beso, siempre manteniéndo el contacto visual.

English:

Alhaitham really likes to cum inside you, so you rarely have his cum anywhere else, and today was no exception.

You had ridden him so much and your insides and thighs were sticky from the amount of cum Alhaitham had unloaded inside you.

Still, Alhaitham is a tough man and always asked you to let him paint your walls white over and over again.

The overstimulation that his cock received was not exactly something carefree and made him tremble in time with his grunts, his hips moved on their own trying to reach such a blissful point that you both loved.

He kissed you messily and played with your nipples, he even reached for your parts to massage and stimulate you so you could cum, at this point he was obsessed with making you gasp and be short of breath.

Between gasps, Alhaitham's voice begged you to cum once again, his whispers were accompanied by hickeys on your collarbone and shoulders and his hands continued caressing everything that could give you pleasure.

When you both finish, Alhaitham likes to take the time to watch the semen that falls to the sheets and hangs from your parts, he even goes so far as to dry his mouth and he may clean you with his tongue before giving you one last kiss, always maintaining eye contact.

"Hidin' and being all sneaky, huh? Tell me, what are you doin'?"

"Who- me? Oh I was just taking a nap. You see..."

Thomas did his best to not look directly at it, but the sword in the stranger's belt caught his attention. A drunkard and weapons was a dangerous combination.

Indeed, the man put his hand on the sword.

"A nap? You think I'm dumb or what? There's nuthin' round here to sleep on. And sleepin' on sand? Fuck that, it itches."

"Well, I like that there's nothing here. The docks are really noisy so I come here to not be bothered."

"Yeah, I don't think I believe you, tough boy. Just look at your face." said the sailor clearly talking about Thoma's injury. Then he stopped, absentminded, and got closer to his face.

"Man, now that I look at it, they fucked you up good! Was it a knife fight or something?"

"A knife-? Heavens, no!" Thomas kept playing dumb "You see, I'm a fisherman so I had an accident with a cod. Yeah, it was at least this big and it hit me with it's tail when I tried to grab him..."

He wasn't done with this sentence when the man started laughing.

"It cut him in the face he says! Ha, you gotta be kidding me! A fucking fish!"

On one hand, Thomas was glad his distraction was working. On the other, he might have to revise his excuse.

"Oh, my sides! What a bloke! It wasn't even a big one!" --- "Conque estabas escondiéndote ¿eh? Dime ¿que haces?" "¿Quién? ¿Yo? Solo tomaba una siesta. Veras..." Thomas trató de no mirarla directamente, pero la espada que el sujeto llevaba al cinto le llamó la atención. Un borracho y un arma eran una combinación peligrosa. En efecto, acto seguido el hombre puso su mano en la empuñadura. "¿Una siesta? ¿Me crees tonto o qué? Aquí no hay donde acostarse más que en la arena, y esa mierda pica." "Bueno, me gusta que no haya nada. Los muelles son muy ruidosos y por aquí nadie me molesta." "Si, no te creo, chico rudo. Solo mírate la cara." dijo el hombre refiriéndose a la herida en la cara de Thomas. Solo para detenerse, y luego acercarse a su cara para ver las vendas mejor. "Hombre, viéndola de cerca si que te jodieron. ¿se pelearon con cuchillos?" "Cuchillos- ¡No, que va!" Thomas siguió haciendo el tonto "Esto fue de un accidente con un bacalao. Verás, soy un pescador y ayer estaba tratando de agarrar uno al menos así de grande que me pegó en la cara con su cola, y luego..." No acabó de decir esa oración cuando vio al hombre al frente reír a carcajadas. "¡Que lo cortó en la cara dice! ¡Un pez! ¡Me tienes que estar jodiendo!" Por un lado, Thomas se sentía aliviado que su distracción estaba funcionando. Por el otro, tal vez valdría la pena encontrar una mejor excusa. "¡No puedo con la risa, pero que idiota! ¡Ni siquiera era uno grande!"

Hello! I can request a female reader x jakurai fic or hc (NSFW or not) with a reader who pampers him very gently and he accepts without complaining.

Cosas como besarle la parte interna de los muslos durante el sexo para mostrar tu afecto y provocar gemidos, sentarte sobre él mientras le das muchos besos en el cuello y él solo se ríe, u obligarlo a acostarse encima de ti mientras lo sostienes con una mano. detrás de su espalda. y le acaricias el pelo para que se duerma.

Lo siento si no se entiende bien! El inglés no es mi idioma nativo, pero me encanta la forma en que representas a los chicos hipnóticos. ¡Constantemente abro tumblr solo para leerte!

¡Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leer y que tenga un buen día!

Jakurai with fem! s/o who pampers him a lot

Ahhh thank you, darling!!! <3 you're so kind ahhh!!! ♡ ♡ ♡

femreader, oral (giving), praising;;

NSFW UNDER THE CUT

;MINORS DNI;

-Jakurai is always ready to serve humanity, it's his credo, his lifestyle. There's nothing strange when a doctor decides to devote his life to such a higher purpose, showering everyone around him in care.

-Yet sometimes even someone so avuncular and generous as him needed to have his own time to relax, to just close eyes and enjoy taking care, not giving.

-And here you are, always ready to provide him with such attention, letting him push away his hard work and all tough responsibilities.

-It's so easy to forget about any problems when you sit on your knees in front of him, tickling his inner thighs with your lips, fingers so gently caressing his slowly hardening dick.. Jakurai never thought someone would be capable of bringing such strong goosebumps on his body with just a few touches.

-And when you start kissing his balls, slowly raising your head higher, leaving a wet line on his sensitive skin and ending with a long, passionate kiss on his glans.. It's something.

"Mm.. darling, if you continue like that, then I'm afraid I will finish too early, even before we will move on to something more interesting…" - your lover mumble under his breath, stroking your head gently. - "After all, I want you to have something for yourself too.."

"Playing with you like that is already enough for me, dear.." - you chuckled before starting drawing circles on the tip of his dick with your tongue, still looking in Jakurai's eyes. Oh, just how much his soul trembles under such a gaze from you..!

-Actually, he really loves physical contact, and the fact that you're always willing to hug him during sex is warming his heart very much. For him, such intimate moments with you are a fusion of souls and sincere love in the first place, and only then a wild passion.

-So, hold his hand, cup his face, pat his hair or just stroke his body a little with your fingertips, Jakurai loves it. As a really gentle lover, he wants you both to feel the maximum of each other's bodies, also hugging your waist back, his large hands grasp your hips so needy..

-There's no else on this planet beside you to whom he would show this side of him, a needy and desperate one. Always collected, wrapped in his gorgeous aura of a mystery gentleman to everyone around, yet for you he's so obedient and soft, waiting with small sparkles of hope in his eyes for more of your actions.

-Oh, and if along your touches there would be some praise, even a light one, that's it, we're losing him.

"Jakurai, dear.. Relax, relax, you're deserve it.." - whispering right in his ear, you slowly move your hips up and down, enjoying how his dick twitching inside you. - "You're such a good worker, so attentive to everyone around you.. It's time to get your reward, you deserve it.."

There's no answer to you coo, as Jakurai can't even form a response, smiling softly at your words and amuse you with his shaky deep groans.

-Adore it if you will give him some light massage after an especially tough shift in hospital.. but you're so devilish, starting with such casual light strokes on his back, yet he can feel how your arms get closer to his hips, titillate his mind. Just when he gets so easily to arouse? Or is it not him, but you and your caring heart that always makes your lover lose his mind?

-Not really a fan of hickeys, yet if you leave a few gentle soft kisses on his neck while sitting on his laps as he sinks his dick deep inside you, Jakurai would literally melt.

"S/o.. Come here.." - he slowly touched your chin, making you look up at him and pressing his lips to yours. - "Mm.. I love you so much, my dear.."

Dragons arrive

Running through the rooftops at full speed felt good, Raph was following his sister closely and they jumped to the next building. It was only the two of them that night, part of the compromise they had reached after the night Raph snuck out. From then on they would go out as a group, if not all of them, then at least in pairs. Leo had asked Raph to go with her for patrolling, specifically to help Raph learn his way around the city so he wouldn’t get lost again. And as much as Raph would like to deny it, even he had to admit he needed to be able to move around on his own. 

Every few buildings Leona would instruct Raph to look at his surroundings, and try and memorize how everything looked. “Many buildings look similar so you have to pay attention to the little details, things like the street names, the businesses, the graffiti on the walls”, she said. Raph turned around slowly, taking in everything, his gaze focused on a building, something about it seemed familiar. He stared at it for a second. “I know that building! Casey and I passed near it when he helped get home”, he said excitedly, “That mean’s Casey’s diner is nearby!”. Leo let out a chuckle and nodded at her brother, “yes, that’s where we’re going”, she explained, “I figured we’ll be seeing more of him, so best if you know your way there”.

The two of them continued on their way, Leona pointing out landmarks that Raph could use to memorize his way. As they got closer to the diner, they started hearing sounds of fighting. Leona looked back at Raph and gave the signal for him to stay close and alert. They continued to move towards the sound, leading them to the edge of a roof that was next to an empty lot. The lot seemed to be used as an impromptu parking lot. The ruckus happening around a black van with a sprayed-on dragon on the side, “Purple dragons”, Leona whispered as she got closer to the edge to get a better look. 

The van’s back door was opened and it seemed like the gang was trying to get some boxes into the van. But it seemed they were having a hard time doing so, since there was a guy fighting them off with a bat and a hockey stick. The guy was wearing some sort of mask, but Leo couldn’t really tell the details on it. Raph’s eyes squinted at the guy, he recognized the wavy black hair and deep blue hoodie. “Leo, I think that’s Casey”

Almost like clockwork Casey's voice was heard, “MANOS LES VAN A FALTAR PA’ PELARME LA RIATA!”. Neither Leona or Raph knew what that meant, but they were sure they probably didn’t want to know. They watched as Casey was ambushed by the gang, it was one against eight, certainly not a fair fight, but somehow he seemed to be handling decently. Leona couldn’t help but analyze his fighting, he was raw, he definitely had no formal training like they had, but so very captivating nonetheless. 

She was brought out her thoughts, when she noticed Casey was grabbed by a muscular guy, holding his arms behind his back. A second guy, probably the leader of the little squad, got closer to him, flipping his mask up, his face contorted into a scowl. “Well if it isn’t mr. vigilante, not so tough now, are ya?”, the leader guy said, getting face to face with Casey. Without a word, Casey moved his head backwards before bringing it back down at full speed, headbutting the guy. This action caused the muscular guy to tighten his grip on Casey, making him grunt in pain. Raph immediately got up “We have to help him!”, he barely waited for Leo to nod before jumping down. 

The smaller turtle jumped down at full force towards the guy holding Casey. With a swift kick he knocked him back enough to free Casey. Casey turned around surprised to see Raph, “Bud?”. Raph gave a quick glance at Casey “we’re here to help!”, he said before turning his attention back to the guy. ‘We?’ Casey thought, almost immediately a new figure appeared in front of him, landing right onto the leader guy, knocking him into the ground. Leona looked intently at the guy she just took out, before raising her head to meet Casey’s eyes. Like the day they met, Casey found himself being stared by the blue banded turtle. She was backlit by the van’s headlights, making her ruby eyes look like they were glowing. Without a word, she pulled out a shuriken and threw it at the guy behind Casey, pinning him by the jacket to the wall. Her lips turned into a subtle smile, “Mind if we drop in?”. Casey, still perplexed by all the things that happened in quick succession, took a second to register Leo’s question. His face quickly became smug as he reached for his mask “be my guest”, he said before flipping his mask back down.

It was now three against eight, seven if you didn’t count the guy Leona took out. The purple dragons moved closer surrounding them, all of them armed, five of them with bats and two of them crowbars. “Raph”, Leo said, getting his brother’s attention “use your size to your advantage, tire them out, and don't stop moving”. Raph nodded at his sister’s instructions as he prepared his sais, Leo followed suit pulling her swords from their scabbards, Casey gave his own weapons a twirl. 

In a matter of seconds the gang began their attack on the three of them. Raph was a little ball of energy, running around the whole parking lot. Every so often he would quickly change direction making the two guys following, who he had mentally denominated as “Mohawk guy" and “Scar guy” trip and fall, leaving him an opening to give them a good kick to the head before taking off again. “Come here you little freak��� said Mohawk guy, his hand reaching to grab him by his mask’s tails. Raph quickly dropped to the ground, leaving Mohawk guy with his arm extended. Raph turned around and used the extended arm to flip the guy and drop him hard on the ground. Scar guy stood there shocked for a second, before turning his eyes back to Raph, making the turtle take it as his queue to start moving again.

Casey was less refined in his fighting, there was a lot of grabbing and pushing the guys around. Dodging the swings of the bats only to swing his own weapons at them. With an upwards swing of his hockey stick he knocked the first guy's bat off his hands. He twirled the hockey stick to use the point to give a quick jab at the guy's abdomen, causing him to curl up in pain. Casey raised his foot and gave him a good kick in the chest sending him crashing into the trash can behind him. He yelped in pain as the second guy hit him in the shoulder with his crowbar “SHIT!”, he yelled. His head quickly turned to look at the guy, his hands gripped his weapons tight. He quickly went to tackle the crowbar guy, once on the ground the two wrestle for a bit before Casey grabbed him by the jacket and raised him enough to headbut him. He quickly stood up, and dragged him by the leg to the nearest wall. Using the guy’s own jacket he tied his hands behind his back. 

Leona was quick and elegant, every movement had its purpose, every clash of her swords was calculated and deliberate. She was fighting people with less skill and training than her, so she had to be careful where she struck. It was three against one; two of them with metal bats and one with a crowbar. She dodged and moved away from their attacks, taking a few seconds to memorize their pattern. Staying light on her feet, she evades two swings of a bat, taking a step forwards to dodge the crowbar. With a swift motion she swung one her swords to meet the bat aiming for her side, pushing them back. Her leg was raised before quickly coming back down towards the other bat wielder. She arched her back in order to do a back handstand, her legs kicking the crowbar out her attacker’s hands. As her feet touched the ground and immediately jumped out of the way to avoid the metal bat. Leona swiftly moves through the chaos, her focus unwavering. She spins around, gracefully parrying a swing from the crowbar wielder with her sword, sending a shower of sparks into the air. With a fluid motion, she kicks him in the stomach, causing him to stagger back. With a good strike to the neck she knocks him out and pins him to the wall with a kunai. She feels the bat wielders approach behind her. She quickly turned her head, her red eyes glowing in the dark giving her a scary and intimidating look. Both gangsters are caught off guard, and Leona seizes the opening to lunge forward, using some of her own bandages to tie them both together.

Meanwhile, Raph continues his agile assault, darting between his adversaries with lightning speed. He sees an opening as Scar guy lunges towards him with a wild swing of his crowbar. Raph ducks under the attack, his sais flashing in the dimly lit parking lot. He strikes Scar Guy's knees, causing him to buckle and collapse to the ground. Raph follows up with a series of swift strikes, disarming him and leaving him dazed on the pavement. Finally being done with his opponents Raph took the opportunity to blow a raspberry at them. 

Immediately afterwards he sensed his sister ran up to check on him, moving various of his body parts to check for injuries. She quickly realized he wasn’t hurt and her worried look turned into a smile. Casey quickly joined them, unlike Raph, he had a few bruises. Before Leona could start fussing over Casey’s injuries, they were interrupted by a pair of cars that rushed their way into the lot. Instinctively putting an arm in front of Raph, Leo prepared herself for more fighting, Raph and Casey following suit. Out one of the cars popped the leader of the Purple Dragon, Hun, a muscular guy, with bleached blonde hair, his left arm adorned with a dragon tattoo. He was followed by a bunch of more purple dragons, all armed.

Leo immediately tensed up, but her expression didn’t show it. Hun took a step closer towards Leona with a snarky smirk, “well, well, well, if it isn’t the turtle freak”, he said, “and the baby freak”. He got closer to Raph, Leona placing herself between them, a growl escaping her lips, making Hun chuckle. His gaze soon fell on Casey, making his already amused expression turn borderline disturbing. “Oh this is rich!” he said turning to his crew, who laughed with him “It seems the turtle freaks are friends with our little vigilante”,  he turned towards Casey once again, “Hey kid, how’s Carmen?”. Casey’s face turned sour, “Don’t fucking say my mother’s name again, cabrón”, anger sipping into every sillable that left Casey’s mouth. Hun simply let out another laugh, his crew copping him. Leo’s eye met Casey’s telling him to stay calm.

“So!” Leona’s voice cut through the laughter, making Hun turn his attention onto her, “what are you doing here, Hun?”. Raph looked at his sister with wide eyes, he had never heard his sister’s voice sound so serious and borderline threatening. Whenever she talked to him and their siblings, she always had a caring tone, even when she was scolding them. But this Hun guy didn’t seem to be scared, he took a step closer to Leo getting into her personal space, “I think you know exactly what i want” his sly smile turned into a intimidating look “i want my stuff”. Leona’s eyes shifted towards the open van Hun’s people were already securing, as well as how they carried the guys they just fought onto the cars. “And if we don’t give it to you?”, she asked. Hun snapped his fingers getting his crew’s attention who immediately pulled out their weapons, “then me and my dragons will have some turtle soup for dinner” 

Raph tightened his grip on his sais, as he watched his sister standing firm against a guy at least twice her size. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Casey step closer to him defensively, bat and hockey stick in hand. The tension was palpable, both sides getting ready to attack. No one made a sound. “Fine”, Leo’s voice cut the silence, “Take your stuff and your people and leave”. The sly smile returned to Hun’s face as he snapped his fingers again. 

In a few minutes the dragons and their van started leaving, “Until we meet again freaks” Hun said from the window of his car, as he sped away. Leona led out an exasperated sigh, as she let her body relax again. The moment of quiet was quickly interrupted by Raph, “Why did you let them go?!”. Leo looked back at his brother, gently placing a hand on his shoulder, “Sometimes you have to pick your battles Raph”.

“Yeah, but they got away with their weird tech stuff”, Casey said, “who knows what they’ll do with it”. Leo's eyes turned thoughtful as she planned their next move. “Not all of it”, Raph said, getting the attention of the older teens, “I stash some of their boxes in the trash bin, while Scar guy was down”. The three of them made their way to the bin Raph pointed out, and lo and behold there were three boxes full of tech pieces inside. Casey patted Raph’s back “way to go bud!”. Leona kneeled on the floor looking through the boxes, finding that some of the pieces were marked with ‘Baxter Technologies’, before looking up towards his brother, “We’ll have Donny take a look at this”, she said with a soft smile. Raph gave her a good nod, happy to have helped.

Leona and Raph ended up finishing their training run with Casey as they made their way towards the diner, which turned out to be only a block away from his apartment building. They had to go at a slower pace than normal because of the boxes, and the fact that Casey wasn’t used to traveling through rooftops.”So how do you know Hun?” Casey asked. “I’ve stopped some of the Purple Dragons robberies before, I’ve only encountered Hun twice tho”, Leona explained, “And now it looks like they are working the Foot, which is gonna cause even more trouble”. Casey stumbled onto the next building, nearly losing his balance holding the box “Who’s the Foot?”. Raph landed next to him, “they are another ninja clan who hates us and wants us dead”, he said. “They’d been mostly gone for 2 years now, but their leader Shredder came back to the city a few weeks ago”, Leona said calmly. “He’s the one that stole Tōsan’s life force!” Raph exclaimed angrily. “I see…” Casey said.

The three of them continued on their way, mostly in silence, “What about you? How do you know Hun?” Leo asked, respectfully but undoubtedly curious as to how Hun knew Casey. “They’ve been trying to expand their territory to my neighborhood for the past three months now”, Casey said “And I’m not letting that happen, not on my watch”. Leo couldn’t help but stare at Casey for a second, seeing a side of him she didn’t expect. 

Soon enough they made their way on top of Casey’s building, the vigilante handing his heavy box to Leo, playfully patting Raph on his shell, and saying their goodbyes. “If you ever need help with these foot guys, call me alright?”, he said with a coy smile, that amused Leona. “Of course” she said, “and if the dragons keep causing trouble, we’ll be happy to help”. Raph gave an enthusiastic nod, making Casey let out a little chuckle, “It’s a deal, Blue”, he said as he entered the building. 

A smile found its way onto Leo’s face, as she watched the vigilante disappear into the building. Raph took a second to look at his sister, a little confused, but before he could decipher the look on his sister’s face, Leo looked back at him. 

“Come on, you’re leading us back to the lair”, she said.

From The Shelf | 5 Masterpieces From The Electronic Archive Of The Emerald Isle

Ireland, home to some of the greatest electronic musicians on the planet. Here's 5 of my favorite Irish records from the last decade, fresh from the shelf.

New Jackson - The Night Mail

Originally pressed in 2011 on Bodytonics 'POGO Recordings' imprint and later remastered on Mano Le Tough's 'Maeve' label in 2019 - they do not come better than this. Accurately painted as a 'below the radar anthem' by the RANSOM NOTE, 'The Night Mail' is a unique endeavor, unlike anything I have heard since its release.

Driven by rolling arpeggios, droning bass rhythms, and euphoric synth lines, all glued together by a masterfully blended vocal - it is everything you've ever wanted from an electronic record. A testament to the impressively broad catalog of sounds represented by David Kitt's 'New Jackson' moniker.

A record I could never afford on Discogs before its re-issue, but one that now sits contently on my shelf.

Kev Sheridan - Losing Someone Is Never Easy [Alone In Berlin EP]

Another beauty from the ever-growing back catalog of Mano Le Tough's 'Maeve' and a record close to my own heart - Kev Sheridan's 'Alone In Berlin EP'.

Snappy snares, lush pads, and melancholic chords - all combine to create this minimal yet emotionally eclectic affair.

It's not often emotion is encapsulated efficiently in a club-driven track, but Kev hit the nail on the head here. Packed with subtle tones of adapting to life abroad and produced at the hands of pure talent.

'Losing Someone Is Never Easy' earned its place on my shelf a long time ago and there it remains.

Lee Kelly - Our Place In Time [Excerpts From Layers Of Identity]

Daire Carolan's First Second Label [FSL] has never really failed to disappoint since its conception in 2011, with contributions from a broad array of Irish talents like ELLLL, Sputnik One and Thrust's Glimmerman - but there's just something about Lee Kelly's 'Excerpts From Layers Of Identity' that ticks all the boxes for me.

Mesmerizing strings, low-frequency basslines and underlying arpeggios complete 'Our Place In Time', a track I've had on repeat since it came off the press in 2019.

Stream | Buy

DeFeKT - Split My Mind [Magnetic Resonance]

"Few artists have been as pivotal in Ireland’s electronic evolution of the past decade as DeFeKT" [DJ Mag].

A playful affair with underlying tones of darkness and raw emotion, this EP is something truly special. Written in the midst of Matt's ongoing struggles with MS, this record is an immersive experience, one that allowed me to connect with an unfamiliar world.

'Split My Mind' became an instant dance floor anthem when it hit the shelves in 2019. Pounding kicks, acid basslines, lush arpeggios and mesmerizing pads - all the keys to my heart, served immaculately on a plate of wax.

Here DeFeKT uses his craft as an outlet to contextualize his experience and solidify his reputation as a modular mastermind who never falls short of the mark.

Bicep - Glue

There are few tracks in existence I vividly remember hearing for the first time, this will always be one of them. Responsible for nearly 200,000,000 streams on Spotify and now casually disregarded by many as "overplayed" - 'Glue' is an undeniable masterpiece.

Comprised of mellow breakbeats, stuttering synths, harmonic pads and a vocal that will enlighten your soul, this track as much an experience as it is a piece of music [so much so that the live version has become an 8 minute escapade].

Records that have seen the club as much as 'Glue' has are few and far between and armed with memories and beer stains, mine has probably seen the inside of my record bag more than it has my shelf - After all, records were meant to be played...

PUTA MADRE OLVIDÉ AÑADIR EL GOLXY Y FREDOX 💔

Ok so golxy

Estos dos chocan, no tanto como Ann y Aiden pero chocan mayormente por Aiden. Al principio Auryn era como... Oblivious? D q Aiden lo quiera cagar a palos y ni Aiden sabe pq, hes rich and everyone likes him but theres something about him that just pisses him off algo en el no termina de agradarle y no puede exactamente descubrir por qué, so he decides to make that everyone else's problem. Se queja de el mayormente con Oliver, pq Oliver tampoco es el mayor fan de Auryn (para Oliver, Auryn es como un animal feo que adoptaron, he doesn't exactly love him but he's here and sadly hes become attached to the ugly thing so tough luck buddy). En fin, Auryn se da cuenta un poquito tarde de q Aiden no lo quiere mucho and they start to fight a little.

En fin, cosas pasan campamento Amadeus stuff (not sure if I want to keep all of the arc as canon since im changing a lot of things in my main au but whatever) the gang kills the witch with Ed Sheeran by their side and then that one scene happens. Aiden is a touchy person, even if he doesn't like to admit it. Odia que lo toquen sin avisar, pero cuando está cómodo hes all about physical contact (I just know it), entonces al descansar su mano en el hombro de Auryn es como su forma de decir I accept you as my friend, Aiden from now on will see him as one of his own and enjoys his company a pesar de que no le guste decirlo en voz alta. Eventualmente Auryn se harta y escapa de su hogar like in canon (not so sure about this pero ps voy a ir cambiándolo si me decido por otro camino) and Aiden, after finding out, knowing what could happen to him if he stayed on the streets agrees to taking him in. He tells his siblings about it and they're like "uhhhhhh..." But he tells them its fine he will take care of it, so they have to trust him

Anyways they become sort of roomies like in canon and theres just this... Warm feeling, algo que los hace sentirse tan en casa? El enseñarle a Auryn a hacer cosas de hogar, la determinación de ayudar en la casa not only to, well, help, but also bc he needs to feel useful or else he'll die. I feel like every golden ship will take forever to actually become a couple idk why he just is like that I guess¿ En fin a este punto son prácticamente una pareja casada pero aún no son nada, and they're scared to break this even if they know the other feels the same they don't really want this, whatever it is, to end

Eventually I think Seba (spring) would be the one to tell Aiden "dude just do it, please I'm so done with you two walking around each other porfa solo besense o algo no sé" theres a bit of restraint and he has to think about it but we all know Aiden doesn't do thinking so he just goes for the kill fuck it we ball or whatever

Anyways while they're just sitting in bed and existing together while Auryn studies (and helps Aiden too), something they started doing after a while of living together, Aiden decides whatever ill just do it and asks him if hes thought about dating someone else apart from Fred. Now that they're used to the whole polyamory thing they feel comfortable enough to ask these things. And Auryn is a bit reserved at first, no está seguro si Aiden está siendo Aiden o de verdad está tirando la idea que cree que está poniendo, so he gives an ambiguous response and lets Aiden lead the conversation. Así que ahora es el momento en el que decide tirar todo a la mesa, todo o nada. He asks if he ever thought about the two as something else while avoiding his eyes and Auryn finally decides to play along, to give in and just go for it. He gets closer and Aiden picks it up, siempre ha sido bueno leyendo el lenguaje corporal, so he also shifts closer until they're brushing hands and he just has to ask, "can I kiss you?" Auryn just says fuck it and kisses him first. Its kind of awkward after that because Meg walked in asking if Aiden had seen her knitting needles, they saw what was going on and walked away slowly. Its fine tho, they talk about it and nervously decide to give it a shot and start dating, they still like to play fight a little but they've become softer around each other. Also expect Aiden to be constantly touching Auryn, a hand on his shoulder, ruffling his hair, leaning on him, anything, you get the idea.

Now, apart from Goulding, Fred gets along nicely with Aiden. They're both chaotic creatures, they're good with sensing vibes you get the whole thing, they enjoy hanging out with each other and stuff. Its not as complicated as other relationships Aiden has, but not as simple as "we are dating now yay" its more of a "you're one of my best friends, I feel so comfortable around you and I wouldn't mind us being more" but they haven't really picked it up yet. They're loud together, they love pranking others and since Fred has his ghostly privileges the pranks are always awesome. But sometimes, after its getting dark and its cold enough that Aiden's nose is redder than usual and his ears are red as well, they're tired enough to sit down and relax. They look at each other and talk about any dumb shit they're thinking about, Fred hasn't always been great at romance, hes only had good luck on his side if we are being honest, and Aiden isn't awesome at it either but they don't have to think about that. They can just exist comfortably with the other, and who knows, maybe once Freddy finds out about this he can help his little ghost but for now? They're content with what they have

The super epic polycule cooking

Fhs week day 5

Polyship - Traditional/FolkClothing - Scarring

This started as me joking abt peeling potatoes being the ultimate date idea, I love peeling potatoes so yeah

So basically this is my idea of the different uhh dynamics between each of these guys,

Anyways I'll explain some things bc I've been thinking about this for a while now

I feel like Aiden and Oliver (my Bonnie) were dating for a while now since they've known each other for a long time, Aiden probably confessed first (at like 15) since hes a bit uhhh act first think later. Oliver was like "cool, wanna date then?" And they've been together ever since

Bon is obviously crushing on Oliver, but knows hes dating Aiden, starts hanging out with Freddy (Oliver asked him if it was cool for him to bring him in order to help him out since yknow guitar) and they hit it off, instead of falling into a codependent situationship like my freddon au, they start dating (bc of the little detail of Aiden and Oliver already dating)

So turns out, Aiden and Freddy are kind of developing feelings for each other, Freddy feels SO guilty bc hes crushing on his best friend boyfriend who is also his best friend, he still loves Bon to death but he cant just pick one and forget about the other he just can't. Aiden is having his own internal hell because he loves his boyfriend but yknow why the fuck is he also crushing on his best friend???? But since hes always been honest with Oliver (it took a while to get there) he decides to just tell him. Oliver has never really been someone to care about society's rule, so he's like "ok? Date him then I don't really mind or care dude, it's fine" so now Aiden has to talk to Freddy about this BUT Bon is also in the picture in case he forgot

So Freddy has been feeling awful for days and has no idea how to tell Bon about what the fuck is going on. Aiden decides to talk to him, and is honest, I like you, I still love my boyfriend, I asked him and Oliver said he doesn't mind, but I know about you and jhon- uh Bon, but if hes cool with it id love to take you out on a date or something I don't know...

Freddy of course is feelings #guiltyaf but also relived to know that at least

1. His feelings are not one sided and

2. Oliver is fine with the idea of sharing a partner

Of course hed like to accept but says he needs time to talk to Bon about it but that he also kind of feels some kind of vibe there and leaves, giving him a little bit of hope at least

Now talking to Bon? It was hard, he loves him but knows hes insecure about this topic (love, dating and stuff) so he tries to be as gentle as possible and tells him, I still love you, but ive been developing feelings for Aiden and uhmm recently he told me that hes been crushing on me and already confirmed with Oliver, and hes fine with it so he wants to like uhmm take me out but I didn't want to give him an answer until I talked about this with you and uhhh yeah I think thats all I still love you I promise I just need to know what you think about this

Bon is surprised, stunned, shell shocked even. He takes his time to think and talk to Freddy. Long story short, he accepts but needs a hell of reassurance that everything between them is fine. After this emotional talk, he timidly asks Freddy about Oliver, Freddy is surprised to see that he still has some small bit of hope in there but smiles and squeezes his hand, he tells him that he could give it a shot and hed be completely supportive and help out if he needed it, but he didn't know how or what would Oliver say if he did ask him out

So how do Bon and Aiden start dating? Well since they're metamours they have to at least be neutral to each other, at some point when they are all hanging out Aiden and Bon would have to interact more, turns out Aiden is kinda cool and okay maybe a little cute. Aiden thinks Bon is nice and its fun to watch him get nervous about horror topics, over flirting with Freddy or other things so they like each other at least enough to consider each other a friend. Time passes and turns out they like-like each other, by this moment they're used to the whole 'polyamory' thing and after giving a heads up to their partners (they both knew way before them) they go out together and well now they're dating too! After talking Aiden also hypes Bon up to ask Oliver out, he tells him "look ive seen some sparks between you two especially when you're playing the guitar, I know Oliver and im sure he'll accept!" So he does, and surprise! He accepted yay!!

So Bon and Onni have some story, way before meeting the animatronics he used to hang out with the nightmares (he used to be way edgier than how he was when he met the gang, his teenage angst was perfect for them!) And got along great with Onni since they had the smallest age gap (a year) theres two aus where they have a story, one where they were dating and Bon broke up with him due to changing and leaving the nightmares behind to befriend and form the toys with the girls, so Onni tries to get him back but is ignored. In the other, Onni has a crush on him but Bon rejects him due to his father being, well his father and not providing a safe space for his kid to realize who he is (Bon did return his feelings but got scared and chose to flee and then he meets the girls and forms the toys). The story changes a bit depending on the au, but it has the same general vibe, Bon finds him Onni sad at the library looking at his failed test (Onni got in with a scholarship and his ability with the guitar btw) Bon would usually just leave but the guilt kicks him again right in the ass and decides to walk up to him and ask if he's okay, Onni is still bummed out so he just answers by pointing at his test and the big red "2.0" (nota mínima d acá idk) and sighs. Bon knows this will end up in disaster but still, sits down after saying "I'm so gonna regret this..." And asks him if he could help him out, Onni accepts, turns out no one else wanted to help him because of his reputation.

So they start meeting at the library occasionally to study, and to bons credit Onnis grades seem to get better! They start to get more comfortable around each other and they fall back into a friendship, it's sweet, inside that library they get to joke and talk as if no time had passed, it feels as if they were barely 13 again. Bon apologizes for being a dick (he was kind of an asshole for just leaving and ignoring the nightmares) but also he needs him to apologize to those he hurt, Bon knows about his tendency to steal from Oliver and making fun of him, he can't exactly just ignore that.

So Onni does so, because he did feel at least a little guilty about it, especially more now that he had a more... Morally oriented friend/potential future boyfriend? He goes and apologizes to Oliver (and other people he hurt as well), Oliver obviously, doesn't like him and hits him, hard. Twice. A knuckle sandwich just for you! And leaves, Bon after hearing about this tends to his poor black eye and split lip (damn Oliver you had that talent hidden huh) but also "you have to admit you did have it coming" "yeah, yeah I know"

Of course they can feel the tension, they know that the other feels the same way but they dance around each other for a while before actually confessing (because their friends/partners were so DONE with it they had to force them to do it) and start dating

Aiden and Oliver DO. NOT. like him at all but they tolerate him for Bons sake, he did prove that he can handle him and control his destructive tendencies, so they accept him under the condition that he does not try to interact with them, and everyone is content with that, (also Freddy doesn't particularly care).

Fred is still here, by this time the animatronics all know about him and they like him, they're friends, Bon learnt about him some time after dating Freddy and they're also on friendly terms, they like to sing together whenever Freddy allows him to possess the body for a while. Fred kind of feels some sparks with Bon but he doesn't know how to explore this so hes ignoring this for a while (Bon is kind of unaware but he does kind of feel warm inside whenever they're sitting side by side and brushing knees)

Out of everyone, Fred is closer to Auryn (my golden) because they can relate to feeling trapped in their living situation and not having enough freedom, due to different reasons since one is a ghost with no memories of his life and the other is a repressed guy with a controlling family but they relate to each other a lot. Fred and Auryn have been dancing around each other for a loooong while, the slowest slow burn to ever slow burn. But Freddy has been pushing Fred to ask golden out for a long time. And when he's just about to do it, Auryn beats him to it! Damn it Goulding! (Joy helped) he says yes but they have to be subtle because Auryns family is, as said before, very controlling and if they ever found out about this they could take Auryn back to England (mi golden es British 😱😱) to finish his studies there so yeah, it sucks but it is what it is.

Auryn and Bon are chill around each other, not exactly friends but they like the other. Bon is also on the "im scared of my parental figures control over me haha" club so he and Auryn have at least something in common. They kiiiinda have some sort of attraction but they haven't talked about it yet.

But yeah I think thats all, maybe ill pick this up some other time bc its so fun to think about different aus where the super epic polycule exists but whatever

OHMYGOD this took a long time to write what the fuck anyways byeeeee

excellent remix!! ^_−☆

Mano Le Tough — At the Moment (Pampa)

Photo by Kostas Maros

At The Moment (PAMPACD015) by Mano Le Tough

Spare a thought for the DJ, forcefully alienated by COVID from his massing crowds, his pulsing lights, his body-shaking beats, left to get by however he could in the constrained spaces of a family home, a couple of kids giggling in the background. Mano Le Tough spent the teens jetting from hub to hub, crowds of beautiful people pressed up against the DJ booth, and the 2020s so far… well, at home. The Irish DJ made the most of it, however, working in his home studio on tracks that sand the hard glossy surfaces off of contemporary dance music. Moody, introspective and laced with plaintive bits of organic instruments, his third album delivers mild, domesticated euphorias and private sorts of release. It might be the DJ equivalent to humming softly to yourself — and yet it is rather compelling in its own quiet way.

There’s an undercurrent of discomfort here, as a habitue of civilization’s giddiest, most artificial environments is forced to contemplate nature. “Empty Room,” with its loose, funky guitar play, its slouching, backslipping rhythms, slow-jams into soft focus in an urbane, quiet storm way. An eerie falsetto sings a looking-out-the-window verse about trees and birds and cherry blossoms, only to end, “We’re stuck inside this empty room.” “Snow on Bamboo” is even more cryptic, its soft hum gently syncopated by drumbeat, a little bit of dub in the echo. “Snow on bamboo/living in a haiku,” croons Mano Le Tough, and he doesn’t sound entirely happy about it.

“Aye Aye Mi Mi” is the album’s most engaging track, chugging nicely along on a bump of bass, a chilling swell of synth tones. It’s Eeyore-ish title phrase is gorgeously arranged in overlapping vocals, so that it both mourns and celebrates the endless chaotic days of kids at home, “driven to distraction by all the noise, driven to distraction by girls and boys.” A solid beat undergirds the track, undulating but sturdy, and way more organic than you’re expecting; it’s a disco lit by candles, melancholy but bright. “News/Cycles” is also quite good, unfolding ominously in dark blobby waves of synth basso, with percussion skittering over. “Feel it, the drum,” mutters the artist, and you do.

The closer, “Together,” gestures towards the triumphant hedonism of good dance music, a hard four beat pushing onwards while synths crest and swell and crescendo. And yet, it’s a muted euphoria, perhaps remembered, perhaps imagined. “I was there… and you were too…” sings Le Tough, in a ghostly way, and it sounds as if nobody is here anymore.
