content: nsfw, 18+, smutty smut smut smut, age gap, best friend's dad just hits different i'm sorry

author's note: i saw a comment that said declan definitely talks you through it and i couldn't agree more. so here we are!

-------------------------------------------------------

You sit stirring the cup of tea in front of you in an effort to keep your hands busy. You had found yourself in your best friend’s kitchen on a Saturday night only she wasn’t home. So instead of spending your evening with her, you were now having a cup of tea with her incredibly dreamy father. Although this was a scenario you had dreamt about, you hadn’t come over here expecting to see Declan.

You were here because Taggie had once marveled over the local produce available at the farmer’s market held in town so you grabbed some earlier that morning with the intention of dropping it at the Priory for her. You knew going into town was a bit of a drive for the O’hara’s and you lived a block away from the market, so it was an easy task for you. You showed up at her front door expecting to hand her a bag full of veggies and were instead met by her brutally handsome father.

You hadn’t lived in town long but from the second you and Taggie met there was an unspoken friendship solidified between the two of you. The bond was most likely due to the fact that you were both twenty-something year old girls in a town full of middle-aged married couples. Nonetheless you enjoyed each other’s company. She taught you how to bake blueberry muffins from scratch and you helped her take a step back from her responsibilities and let loose from time to time. It was a win-win. 

What Taggie didn’t know was that you and her father had been shamelessly flirting with each other for weeks. 

It started with stolen glances at Declan when he would walk around the house shirtless. His broad shoulders and hair covered chest had you in a trance, so much so that it took you a minute to notice when he caught you staring. Wearing a smug expression he threw you a quick wink before walking out of the room, his small chuckle echoed in his absence and you knew you were fucked. 

Ever since that day the two of you shared many coy smirks, crude jokes and light brushes of the hands but nothing beyond that. You couldn’t deny how badly you wanted him. You knew it was wrong to think that way about your best friend’s dad. You knew it but you kept thinking about what he would be like in bed. God- you were such a bad friend. 

So now you were sitting in the kitchen of the Priory without Taggie. She had failed to mention that she had a job catering one of Valerie Jones’ parties tonight. Of course, when you realized she wasn’t home you offered to leave the groceries and head back home but Declan insisted on you staying for a cup of tea. You joined him in the kitchen watching his large hands fumble with mugs and tea bags and thinking about other places his rough hands would work well. Jesus you couldn’t even let the man perform a simple task without drooling over him. It would have been ridiculous if it weren’t for the way his lips turned up into a cheeky smile knowing you were watching his every move. The smug bastard knew the ways you thought about him and he relished in it.

“Taggie normally tells me when she has a gig.” You state still stirring your tea.

“This came up last minute” Declan stood at the kitchen counter sipping whiskey, he wasn’t much of a tea guy.

“Even I was surprised. She hasn’t been workin’ weekends as much since you’ve come into the picture” He finishes speaking taking another swig of his drink.

“You’ve somehow done the impossible task of gettin’ that girl out of the house and enjoyin’ her life on Saturday nights. I’ll forever be grateful to you for that.” He raises his drink to you causing a small laugh to leave your lips.

“Yeah well, Taggie’s a good time. I don’t think you give her enough credit” You finally stop messing with the spoon in your hand and take a small sip of the tea in front of you.

“While that may be true, I think you help her come out of her shell. You’re just so-“ he stops and just stares at you for a moment like he’s trying to think of the word he wants to say. 

“lively.” He finally says.

you smile at the adjective. 

“And vibrant and captivating” He abruptly sets his glass on the countertop and begins slowly walking in your direction.

“You’re absolutely stunnin’, you know that?”

You feel your heart begin to race as he comes to stand in front of you. 

“I keep tryin’ to push away the way you make me feel.”

“But it’s impossible to ignore when I walk into a room and immediately feel your presence. So bright and mesmerizing.”

You feel frozen by his words. You’ve played out this exact moment in your head every single night but never imagined it would come to fruition. Now Declan is standing just inches away, the tension palpable.

“Not to mention you’re always fuckin' here.” He waves his hands gesturing to the massive home you’ve both found yourself alone in tonight. “Always around remindin’ me of what I can’t have” 

The words barely come out of his mouth before you’re on your feet slinging your arms around his neck and pulling him down to you. His lips crash onto yours and he wastes no time savoring the taste of your lips. His kiss is hungry and methodical, and you think you might melt. 

He breaks away for a split second,

“We shouldn’t” he says breathless but then his lips are back on yours in an instant, showing no signs of stopping. 

“Declan. Please” You practically beg him to keep kissing you.

It must be the way you say his name because he throws any restraint he previously had out the window. Picking you up and sitting you on the kitchen table in one swift movement.

His hands find their way up your skirt lightly gripping your thighs, his fingertips drawing lazy circles on your skin just inches away from where you really wanted him to touch you. 

He leans in close whispering coarsely in your ear

“I’ve dreamt about this.” 

The attention of his lips shifts from a soft whisper to a gentle kiss right below your ear. 

“Me too” you admit.

Your voice is breathless as he continues placing kisses down your neck every now and again nipping and suckling at the sensitive skin just beneath your jaw. 

“Tell me love, what is it you think about?” He says sending sweet vibrations into the crook of your neck.

“Do you think about me touchin’ ya?”

He runs his hands roughly up and down your thighs pushing your skirt up so that it’s bunched at your hips.

“Do you think about how good I could make you feel hmm?”

The words coming out of his mouth have you all but dripping between your thighs. His hands find the hem of your underwear, playing with the material between his fingertips he tugs them down your legs at a painfully slow pace. 

He pulls away so his gaze is on yours. Your foreheads meet as his hands find their way back to your thighs, carefully spreading them open just a bit more. 

“I think about it constantly” 

He takes his time trailing his fingertips up your inner thighs, so gently that the featherlight touch makes you shiver. The corner of his mouth curls into a smile knowing the effect he has on you. 

You almost squeal when you feel his pointer finger circling your entrance. He keeps it there, taunting you with anticipation.

“How your cunt would feel wrapped around my fingers” 

He lets his digit sink inside you with the slightest pressure. The gentleness of his touch contradicting his dirty words. 

Your eyes fall shut and you let out a soft moan of relief. 

The sound of pleasure causes him to add another finger. He curls them in just the right way making you grab at his forearm and whimper his name. He keeps playing at the spot that elicited such a strong response from you causing you to squirm in pleasure. 

“God you feel s’good. Your pretty little cunt squeezin’ my fingers like that. Can’t imagine how you’d feel on my cock”

You bite back a groan at his words. If he kept talking to you like this, you might cum in record time. 

He picks up the pace of his fingers, moving them at a deliciously perfect rhythm. You squeeze your eyes shut focusing on the pressure building in your abdomen. 

“Look at me love, I wanna see ya.” His voice is low and rough.

You open your eyes and it takes everything in you not to come undone at the sight. His curls falling in his face, his jaw slack, and his eyes clouded with lust.

“That’s it, s’pretty for me” 

You’re putty in his hands at this point, sitting on his kitchen table, legs spread wide, One of his hands on the back of your neck holding you steady the other inside of you. 

As if the carefully arched thrusts of his fingers weren’t enough to push you over the edge, he begins gliding his thumb over your clit. The added sensation makes your body jolt and you fight to keep your eyes open.  

His movements work together like a perfectly timed symphony and you find yourself reeling closer to the edge of ecstasy. You moan Declan’s name again, an indulgent praise, and he groans in response. You’re so close, the tension in your body is looking for release causing your thighs to clench around Declan. 

The fullness of his fingers inside of you and the constant attention on the bundle of nerves between your legs has you seeing stars. But it’s the filthy words he speaks to you that finally finish the job.

“Atta girl.”

“You’re doing s’good”

“Let go for me”

With those words you feel the tightness in your core come undone and let out one final drawn out sound of pleasure. You’re clenching and dripping and heaving and Declan is just staring. Forehead still resting on yours, breathing heavy, he softly smiles and places a gentle kiss on your lips. 

It takes a few moments for you to regain some sort of composure and then you finally speak,

“We’re fucked”

“We are so so so fucked, I can’t believe how fucked we are.” You allow your internal dialogue to spill out. 

Declan just chuckles darkly. 

“Perhaps we are.” He toys with your skirt still gathered at your hips.

“But if we’re goin’ down we might as well have a little more fun.” Chuckling through his words he picks you up off the table so your legs are wrapped around him and begins carrying you upstairs.

“If you thought I was done with ya love, you are sorely mistaken”

Still got it

Artwork by Mmiyoart (2021)

The kids are teenagers, so you and Kento are just their boring parents...right?

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Imagine you and Nanami Kento as parents, but older now, in your forties, and the kids are teenagers at Jujutsu High (much to Kento's displeasure and concern).

The two of you always kept your work life separate to home; the kids knew what the two of you do of course, they all know Curses and Cursed techniques, your two daughters and a son being in possession of these talents themselves.

But you and Kento never come home in mission-wear. You're always patched up by Shoko, one of your oldest and dearest friends, before you walk through the door. Kento never winces as he cooks dinner in a fresh shirt, but behind your bedroom door at night, you gently push his shirt off his shoulders and bathe his wounds, gently kissing his bruises, his head resting back between your breasts as your arms curl round him from behind. You never discuss your kills in front of the kids, the evenings instead, full of talk of exams, arguments with best friends, chastising for using phones at dinner time.

You and Kento make sure you barely overlap at Jujutsu High, teaching students in the other years instead. Your daughters and your son know, in a vague way, that you're both respected First and Second Grade sorcerers in your own right, but to them you're just mum and dad.

Until, one day, that changes. Your three kids, all promising Second Grade sorcerers, and committed to the cause, get into trouble. The Curse they're sent to eliminate is so much stronger than they imagined. Your eldest daughter fights on bravely as your son carries their sister, wounded, to safety. All three are filled with terror as the Curse begins to overwhelm them, their short lives with you and Kento, their adoring parents, flashing in front of their eyes, wondering how the two of you would ever recover from their deaths.

Then, in a flash of black and red, Nanami Kento steps into the fight. A colossal wave of Cursed energy rolls over the children, stunned, breathless, eyes wide as their father, who does maths homework with them, who kisses them all goodnight at bedtime, who bakes at the weekends, instead now ruthlessly, effortlessly wipes the floor with the Curse that nearly killed his babies.

Kento is a demon in battle, tie ripped off, blunt blade whirling, his battle-hardened body just as imposing and lithe as it was in the years before the kids were born. The hands that held theirs when they were tiny, that threw them around ever-so-gently during play-fights, now wielded as weapons with murderous intent.

Even more alarmed are the children, when you appear beside Kento, and as the Curse staggers on its last legs, they hear you shout to Kento- "Throw me!" and, with not an ounce of hesitation, Kento tosses you like a rugby ball, for you to land the killing blow on the Curse.

You are smooth, meticulous, concentrated while making light work of a messy job. The children hear their father hum in approval of you as you take the Curse to task for its crimes against your babies.

Not even sparing the withering corpse a glance, you and Kento rush to your children. You hold your son and eldest daughter's faces, eyes full of tears as you check them all over for damage, their hearts swelling when you praise them for taking care of each other, for doing such a fantastic job holding out until you both arrived.

Kento drops to his knees beside his wounded youngest daughter, gripping her close to him, no less mighty and powerful after years of marriage and raising children. Nanami Kento manages the first and only reverse-cursed technique heal of his whole life, and repairs his daughter's wounds. He holds her to him and weeps quietly as she reassures him, wholly her mother's daughter. Kento grips his son gently around the back of the neck, pulling him down for a tight hug, his son almost breaking at Kento's familiar rumble praising him for prioritising his sister's safety, telling his son he's so proud of the man he's becoming.

Days later, and with the children now recovered, rumours of Nanami-sensei and Nanami-sensei's scathing criticism of and attack on the higher-ups is the talk of the Jujutsu High students. The children are silent throughout, still stunned by the overwhelming skill of their parents.

One of the other students jokingly raises the incident to your kids one day; "Oh man. I wouldn't like to have your parents mad at me. I'd never get over disappointing them."

"Are they...that much of a big deal?" your son asks his friend weakly. His friend raises his eyebrows, amazed, laughing.

"You mean the one and only legends, the Nanami-sensei's? Who the hell did you guys think raised you?"

You and Kento walk down the steps towards them, hands brushing together but not holding, keen to maintain professionalism at school. The children watch as your eyes meet his, love passing between you both, and wonder how they had thought of you as their boring mum and dad for all these years.

31.08.2024 - Fighting for my life

Happy Saturday everyone!! I’m currently in bed recovering from a surgery I had yesterday. I slept very badly because of the pain and any sort of position I put my body in is extremely uncomfortable but alas! We must live regardless.

This morning I’m drinking hot chocolate in my emotional support chicken mug and fighting a horde of 50 year old men to get Oasis reunion tickets for me and my dad. My boyfriend is helping and I’m very grateful, but holyyyy am I still stressed. I forgot what buying tickets for big artists was like 🥲 Send thoughts and prayers please I’m gonna need them 🫡

This weekend I’m going to try and focus on my novel. Going to hopefully finish the character sheets for my main lads and then draw some of the maps. I’m so excited to have some time for it!

I hope everyone has a lovely and productive weekend!

Presenting the screenshots I've made of the main characters of My Life as a Teenage Robot crossing over with Danny Phantom! (In chronological order.)

Made on January 27 and later updated on May 16 over how I noticed the shading on the top wasn't added on the walls and the lines were too thick to be TV episode/special material.

I've been at this for nearly seven hours and here it is.

I first started with the background of the Fenton Works laboratory, looking at the screencaps of "The Fairly Odd Phantom" for the modern look of the place. Took me a while in figuring out the correct detailing of the wall as the next frame was inconsistent with it, but I got the finished result.

Next was doing Danny and Jenny, which led to doing a new Danny with existing and new art pieces while Jenny was made new for this.

As the characters and background were finished, I scaled 'em down to appropriate sizes and pieced 'em together while making sure the centering on the two was right.

This was finished on May 8.

For the background, I used an existing one I made priorI already made a baseline for Sam and Tucker on April 12; I just never got around it until after celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour.

Jenny, meanwhile was made with tracing over my existing Hartman-styled Jenny image while making her pose freely.

For this, I wanted to make one with Brad, Tuck, and Sheldon in the Danny Phantom universe looking for Jenny. This was started onMay 19 and finished on May 20.

I started on the background, taking place in the Fentons' living room, considering I already had Jenny introduced in the Fenton Works' lab.

Danny was next, using screenshots from notably "Frightmare"; "Mystery Meat"; and "Memory Blank".

Next was Jazz, which was a trace of an existing art piece from a few months ago, while the hands were changed for this.

Brad, Tuck and Sheldon relied on tracing over the artwork of them in the Danny Phantom style and freehanding the poses, while their heads were slightly tilted with the help of Free Online Image Editor. Sheldon was made to be pretty nervous from the look of Danny's universe while Tuck notices he now has five fingers compared to how he had four back in his universe, as a little nod to how the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour had made meta jokes on the animation styles.

I had my head wrapped around this, but I decided to do Vexus in the Danny Phantom style, through a fan-made screenshot.

This was in the making from May 20 to May 21.

It was updated twice that day: once to add a shadow beneath her feet, according to the screenshots, and again to make the outlines thicker after another look at it.

Everything was made without any reference images, while I looked at screenshots from The Fairly Odd Phantom for the Fenton Portal and screenshots from the My Life as a Teenage Robot episode "Queen Bee", which showed off Vexus' current look.

When I realized "Queen Bee" was her last appearance in her respective show, and only time presenting her in her new look, I thought I'd have her as the main antagonist in this crossover idea. Should this turn into a real thing, I'd definitely wanna see how Cree Summer, who had voiced her in two episodes, could take over the reigns as Vexus in place of the late Eartha Kitt.

This one was in the works since May 9 when it was in its original conception. I stopped on May 10 to spend the weekend at my mom's. I resumed a bit on May 13, then finally finished during midnight on May 15.

After making that screenshot of Jenny with Sam and Tucker, I had to make something with Danny.

My first one was of Jenny and Team Phantom (or just Danny, depending on whether or not I'd make all four members in the same place) located at Jenny's front doorstep, which I had the background completed along with an image of Jenny. As I was making Danny shown at a center angle and with a surprised expression, I had the new idea of having him, Jazz and Tucker arriving in Jenny's universe seeing how they look in the Teenage Robot style a la Jimmy Timmy Power Hour with how Timmy and Jimmy responded appropriately at how they looked different in each other's universes.

Figuring out the location of the portal was a toughie, but I came to the epiphany of placing it by the entrance, with the portal being hidden by one of the walls near the front door via rotating wall. I looked at the reference images to make the wall of the entrance. With the portal, I spent time with the details and adding the inside of the Fenton Ghost Portal, which would be interconnected with Nora's portal. The Fenton lab was the hardest part, especially adding the details in the Ghost Portal's interior by looking at screencaps from The Fairly Odd Phantom and a sketch by Butch Hartman of Sam looking on at the Ghost Portal.

Jenny was made with reference images, while Team Phantom relied on tracing over the existing Teenage Robot-styled versions with adding new poses and expressions.

And there you have it, my series of fan-created screenshots of the Teenage Robot and Danny Phantom characters together! Hope you like 'em!

[metalicats]

proof this is still a real human

I finally had a break from work holy shiiiit ;_; yes we get weekends, but because i haven't taught these lessons before, and i aspire for better classes than 'copy what the book does always', lesson planning, organizing, grading, and creating assignments and rubrics takes soooo much time ;_; i literally work 12 hours every single day, i'm just lucky if i get to do those hours at home on sunday.

anyway appreciate your teachers

but yea! this was fall break, so i was able to SLEEP finally, and i traveled around the city a little! I was also able to read finally ;u;

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T Kingfisher: loved it, fantastic. her spooky/dark fantasy (not really horror) books are always SO great.

the Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon: good! I was a little worried of Sunk-cost because its a Doorstop, and some people hadnt loved it, but I quite liked it! an interesting world, a good mysterious world, good social conflicts, and a really great queer couple (and 1 really great bad one lmao), i recommend it if you like longer fantasy that sucks you in!

.... and thats all ive managed to do lmao, but i just wanted to share that i was finally!!! able to take some time and read again!!

09.09.2024

I hope everyone's week has started off on the right foot! Here the temperatures are starting to drop, which I could not be happier about. Please, PLEASE give me autumn already. It is all I need to be fulfilled.

I spent my weekend with friends, first in an escape room and then in a pub, and then with my boyfriend, hunting for cute things to decorate our apartment with. I got the cutest mushroom coasters... I am so excited to use them. Unfortunately I have been left completely exhausted and have barely any energy to work, which isn't great, so to my despair I've had to switch back to drinking monster on the daily. I know it's not the best, but I suspect that this tiredness is coming from a genuine health issue so I'm going to be reaching out to my doctor to try and get some tests done. For now I am doing a lot of reading to solve a problem my supervisor has posed us, and spending a bunch of time in the lab as well. Just trying to keep my spirits up as much as I can!

May all those who read this have a joyful day~
