As someone who lives out in the mountains, the lilacs are only just now beginning to fade away, and it has set me to thinking.
This site has WRECKED me, and I can only think of lilacs in terms of Sir Terry Pratchett and “The Glorious 25th of May,�� even though the lilac generally blooms a week after that around here.
But, as in most things, Sir Pratchett remains a literary genius, and the lilacs aren’t really about the specific date. It’s about the seasons changing and what that brings.
Spring is when the sleeper wakes up. When humans shake off old thoughts of winter and have the energy to make changes, to be incensed, if need be, about things that have been going on for generations. When do protests happen? May into June.
Does weather play a part? Absolutely. It is easiest in Spring and Fall for outside activity and travel. But it is also about what is happening inside your mind and heart with a shifting of the seasons. Connection to the earth and the rest of humanity plays such a big part in making things RIGHT, whether we recognize it or not.
Pratchett recognized the pattern. I don’t know if he recognized it consciously, but the importance he put on those flowers makes me think he did.
I would credit that pattern recognition to his love of old things. History, folklore. Other people I also see as showing wisdom in their work- Neil Gaiman, the Green Brothers, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Douglas Addams, various writers of fantasy and science fiction- they enjoy history. They read folklore and mythology and other ancient tales. They delve into old things that connect humanity.
I guess what I am saying is really obvious, but…
If you enjoy storytellers who suddenly hit you with something that feels like TRUTH, some of that is an intentional care in thier stories, but some of that is thier brain chemistry being changed, as we put it, by some really ancient humanity.
I would suggest if you love Pratchett, love Gaiman, love some of the impactful storytellers, you should consider what made them so good. Consider not just thier works, not just newer wisdom, but ancient wisdom. Connect back to some of the roots of humanity.
Don’t just read Song of Achilles. Read the Illiad too.

A wolf in sheep's clothing
I feel so bad for the asker on Ao3 lol. This one took me so fuckin' long to settle on an idea for, and on top of that, I struggled to write Akechi for some reason?? I dunno why, but he feels iffy here, as does Akira, but I need this little beastie out of my to-do's lol. I hope you enjoy regardless!
Kinktober Masterlist: Here
CW: Very mild. It's mostly just spanking. Semi-public if you squint, as well as dubcon, but I just let this be a simple tease rather than a whole thing.
Being who he was, Goro Akechi was essentially the king of the metaverse. Soaked deep into the collective consciousness of the public, he could reach the devil for tea, and with the experience he had in palaces, helping with Sae’s casino was a cake walk. Even if he was limited to solely using Robinhood so as to not give himself away.
So, something as simple as breaking in after an expedition onto the game floor with the phantom thieves was meant to be quick, efficient, and utterly safe.
Yet...Loki still whispered in the back of his mind, “Maybe stick to robinhood. Kurusu seems like the type to explore on his own as well, and we wouldn’t want him of all people catching you.” “What would that do, though? I have a mask that hides my entire face in my other costume. All he’d see is a weird bird looking thing.” Akechi snorted, even as he worked his way through the more industrial-looking, less populated corridors of the palace. Not bothering keeping an eye out for shadows as he went. “Because I asked nicely. Just for the attitude, even if you DO try to call on me, I’m not coming out.” The bull huffed, and while Akechi was at least 60% sure his persona couldn’t disobey a summon, the petty threat still got his scarlet eyes to roll.
Loki was a bit favored, the brunette didn’t need to be the second coming of the detective prince to know that he preferred a persona more aligned with his true intentions and work than a sterile, goody-goody version. So, he could also admit to himself that his slight favoritism may have spoiled the demonic bull a tad. Leading to his ungodly annoying streaks.
But, regardless of Loki’s snobby power plays, or whatever weird bullshit was putting the monster on edge, Akechi did as he was told and kept to his princely, white-and-red costume with the embarrassingly long-nosed mask while he was studying the layout of Sae’s warped area.
The main floors had instantly been off of the table since he’d scoped the place out the first time. Simply too crowded and normal for him to be able to sneak away from the thieves if needbe, even with the distracting dance of lights and cacophony of sounds. So, that left the detective with the less guest-facing areas if he wanted any potential escape routes or stealth openings.
So, he took his time in his recon. Taking long moments to study any possible network of ventsilation shafts or hallways for a way to swing killing Joker without getting caught. Any shadow that dared to bug him simply got skewered by Robin’s arrows.
However, Akechi was prepared for a confrontation, even if it was with a phantom thief. What he wasn’t prepared for was to crawl halfway into a vent to peer down into the never-ending maw of cold metal, and hear the motor of a door or gate shutting. “Oh what the- AH!” In a matter of seconds, the great second coming of the detective prince...was trapped under a shockingly heavy metal gate. And, while Loki didn’t actually say anything, Akechi could feel the smug ‘I told you so’ rattling around his own head. “this is utterly fine.” He huffed out, planting the palms of his hands on the metal walls and trying to pull himself forward. “This is. Fucking fine.” Yet, much to his annoyance, the belt of his pants was too fat to fit under the garage door trying to seal the vent. “All I did was trip a single alarm. The gate’s not even crushing me, this is manageable.” “Are you sure about that, Crow? You seem kind of stuck from this side.” A new voice echoed through the metal.
The sudden addition of Joker registering to the brunette damn near took the man out like an almighty attack. Loki you slut, did you know about that horrid little bastard following us?! He internally snarled at his persona, simply getting a petulant “Humph!” As his response. Which was all he needed to know that he’d fist fight his own monster later. “Uh, I-I’m pretty sure, Joker. What the hell are you even doing here though?” He asked aloud, doing his best to seem properly confused and embarrassed rather than kick Akira in the nuts for existing. “I came back to see if I could use our game card to get extra coins. Since I couldn’t do much else and didn’t want to sleep...what are you doing here though? It’s, like, midnight in reality.” He pointed out, making Akechi chuckle slightly, “Ah, well...I was simply trying to get the lay of the land in here. Try to find the treasure room, or any keys and see if I could map it out for when we returned.” Relying on a softened truth and his natural bruised ego to sell it. Which, only got him a long moment of silence from the leader of the phantom thieves.
Then, that pesky road block of thick leather was abruptly yanked down. ”E-Excuse me?!” He snarled, his mask gone, his face red, and his teeth bared when he turned his head as best the vent would allow, to glare at the opening of lighting his body beneath the stubborn gate created. “Oh shit, I...I’m sorry.” Akira squeaked, that blood-boiling confidence gone just as fast as Akechi’s sugary tone was. That smooth voice suddenly uneven from the shot of flustered shame surrounding each stuttered word.
Yet, Akira didn’t pull Akechi’s snowy white pants back up, or pried that stupid gate back up. He instead simply sat there. Probably staring at the pale skin of the detective’s ass with that deer-in-the-headlights fear that Akechi had seen when they’d first run into eachother. What a dumbass. I’m going to fucking flay you, now. “Kurusu, you dumb fuck, fix-” His venom was cut short when he felt the sudden and sharp sting of a strike to his ass.
He’d been fucking spanked.
Not entirely intentionally, it seeemed. Judging from the awkward stretch of painful, silent seconds that followed. Nothing but whatever movement could seep into Akechi’s metal prison bouncing off of the vent walls, and Akira’s horror mixing with the detective’s surprise like paint in water. At least, until a switch seemed to flip in the phantom thief.
The awkwardness and impulsivity gone for a dark giggle instead. A sound far more fitting for his rather low voice, and one that sent a slight buzz into Akechi’s blood that mingled with the lingering tinge of pain from Akira’s strike. “Kurusu.” The detective prince tried, keeping his voice calm, and slow like he was talking to a nervous animal instead of a hormonal teenager seemingly slipping into some repressed fuckery. Or, perhaps those were both appropriate situations for that method. “Please pull my pants back up. And let me out of this vent.”
Another stretch of silence followed that… ”what if...I don’t though?” Holy shit.
Now, normally, Akechi would’ve summoned Loki the second his pants were fucked with. But, while he was slowly growing freaked out by Akira’s abrupt shift in personality, there was a voice within that was just barely louder than that anxiety. A dark, curious voice suggesting, Maybe, just maybe. We can hold off for a bit longer. See if we can talk our way out of it...or if it just takes a fun turn. With such impregnable reason, the brunette found he couldn’t quite muster the will it took to bring the demonic bull out. “W-why exactly do you prefer me stuck halfway into a vent?” He asked instead, only getting another smack to his ass cheek, and another ripple of conflicting pleasure and pain into his half-stiff cock. “I’m not sure,” Akira admitted the curious edge Akechi could just hear through the metal of the vents and the morbid darkness of the man’s words encouraging him. “I sort of pulled your pants down on impulse...but now I...dunno, just kind of enjoy this.” He continued, smacking the detective’s ass again to earn a hiss and a wince. That fucking gate throwing an unwanted dose of aching into the equation, but the thought of Akira possibly turning evil was...hot.
Letting out a slow breath, Akechi pushed that discovery down. Trying again, this time with more sugar in his words, “U-um, well if you simply want to hook up with me, this is...a sketchy way to make that known, y'know.” Which, got him another harsher strike to the ass.
At that point, his rear end stung like a horde of angry wasps, but the pain of the impact of Akira’s hand on his ass continued to radiate a delicious warmth throughout his body as well. “Y’know, I’m half tempted to tell the others your ass got stuck~” the phantom thief warned, almost purring with an evil energy bleeding from his words that sent another trickle of lewd excitement down Akechi’s spine despite the escalation. “Maybe I could let Ryuji and Yusuke take turns with you. I think it would be kind of nice to see such a pristine goody-two-shoes defiled in such a fun way.” He continued, his warm hand suddenly gentle as it lovingly rubbed the burning out of Akechi’s skin. Only feeding the heat that had his dick twitching. “That would be a crime, dumbass. Would you really want to add sexual assault to your record?” The detective snapped out, only to get a harsher slap to the cheek of his ass. “Maybe I’ll just assault you, then leave you for a fucking shadow to kill. How about that instead?” He shot back, and while Akechi knew that Akira was far from the type to even carry through on the first half, the way his voice dropped further into a venomous malice made his heart skip a beat as much as it made his dick twitch against the metal of the partially-shuddered vent. What in god’s name am I into? But, that thought was not one he wanted to ponder when he was stuck beneath a mall store’s shudder, on his knees, with his pants falling around his knees and a possibly twisted phantom thief making threats. So, he shook his head a bit and recomposed his social mask once again. ”Look, could you just...maybe pry the vent door open so I could get out? We can both just forget this entire situation. I’ll forget you pulling my pants down, and talking about killing me, you forget about me being stuck in a vent like a dumbass and my threat to report you.” A moment of silence followed his words yet again. Foreboding, but there was also a beam of hope for his dignity still.
Then, with a sigh that was nearly inaudible through the metal of the ventilation system, Akira pulled Akechi’s pants back up. Which, the detective prince took as agreement, so when Joker finally got the metal gate back up enough so that Akechi could worm his way free, he said nothing but a prim “Thank you, Joker.” and left it at that. Both men simply leaving that entire encounter at that vent opening and just leaving the palace in their own, separate ways. Not a further word between them, and the air around them a noxious mix of cold and awkward.
”Well, that was enlightening.” Loki chuckled when the two persona users had parted in those quiet hallways, but Akechi ignored any teasing from that motherfucker. He didn’t need a magical monster to state how mixed up and confused he was. Both at how such a sketchy encounter left him with a boner, and how Akira had it in him to stoop so low on...apparently impulse.
So many questions. No more time.

All Hiss, No Bite
Peter didn't like the quietness of the night.
Sure, there was the regular pedestrians that screamed at each other during the late-night traffic or the night clubs that blasted music on high.
His spider-sense was telling him that something was wrong.
He almost called it a night until he saw something jump out of the roof of an expensive jewelry shop in front of him. It was quick on its feet and looked like it had an agenda with a bag full of what was thought to be jewelry.
Stolen jewelry.
He pursued, taking almost ten minutes to catch up, and oddly stopped at the last rooftop around the corner.
He looks around and could feel the presence of this person staring at him.
"If you're chasing after me, at least take me to dinner." a voice said out loud.
Peter turns his head back, thinking the person is hiding in the shadows.
"I think you have the wrong impression. Maybe it's best to stop this facade and hand over the stolen jewelry." Peter commanded.
"Where's the fun in that?" they asked.
He hears subtle footsteps walking toward him and turns around.
Peter almost tripped over himself as he saw her. She was like forbidden fruit, easy to consume by its beauty but he'd be committing a sin.
He remembers brief conversations from the police that there were sightings of an interesting villain who had white platinum hair and quick reflexives: Black Cat.
Thinking now, you fit the description.
"I don't think we formally met, word on the street is that you're this city's hero." You said, walking around, eyeing him head to toe.
"Well, I'm just your amazing Spider-Man." Peter remarked.
"I don't see the 'amazing' part." you teased.
Peter had no time for games and slung his web to the bag that was on his shoulder. Somehow, you were quick enough to grab the strap.
"You're smart, I can give you that. But are you quick on your feet?" you question.
He didn't have enough time to process till you twirled inside, clawing away the web as the bag landed on the floor.
You quickly jumped to where it landed, but your new rival grabs you by the wrist. You look up to him, trying to read his body language.
"You're a serious guy, Spidey."
"Don't call me that." Peter demanded.
You stood up with his hand still around your wrist, and you walked closer to him. He knows he should just take you to the nearest police car and the bag but he needed to know what your intentions were.
But maybe that was an excuse to talk to you more, and you know that too.
"You're all hiss, no bite. And I'm thinking that you actually won't turn me in." you commented
"Why's that?" he asks.
You roll your eyes. "Check the bag." You said.
Peter slowly releases your hand and takes the bag, opening it.
He sees that there were different types of jewelry. Picking up a locket, he opens it and sees pictures of a woman and a child. He then picks up a wristwatch, looking in the back to see an engraving of a person's name.
"These were already stolen," Peter murmurs.
"Yeah, the owner of the jewelry store had his people go to innocent families and hold them at gunpoint, demanding their personal belongings. Then, he sells them out and gets his own benefit."
"And you thought that stealing for yourself would make it better." peter asks.
You cross your arms, getting angry.
"I would have returned it. But, someone needs to make a statement to stand up for the people being wronged."
"You don't need a Robinhood complex to right your wrongs."
You close your distance until you were mere inches away from his face.
"Well, there's a difference between me and Robinhood." You said, trailing your fingers from Spider-Man's chest to his throat, finding the seam of his mask.
"And what's that?" Peter asks, feeling his blood turn cold as you slowly used the tip of your finger to lift his mask. He knows you won't reveal his identity, you were just teasing him. But, he suddenly felt helpless as your hot breath hits his neck. Soon, your lips were a centimeter away, then closed in for a kiss.
You then pull away as Peter was collecting his senses. "I'm better." You whispered before digging your hand in the bag, taking a pearl necklace.
"Hey!" Peter screamed as you made a run for it. He pulls down his mask and webs up the bag.
He hears your laughter until you reached the last building in sight.
"I'll see you soon, spidey." You shouted before jumping off the roof.
He runs to where you fell and looks down, not seeing you in sight.
He shakes his head and decides to turn away, about to turn in the jeweler to the police and turn in the stolen property.
Peter knows he shouldn't worry about a thing, but he knows one thing for certain:
You're here to stay

Maybe something motorcycle or tattoo related for Raphael and Immogene? ♥️
My dear sweet @waterstar2016, thank you for the ask! sorry it took a bit to write, I hope you enjoy it! Warning: Smut smut smut!!!
Oil and grease painted Immogene’s arms and clothes as sheperformed routine maintenance on her red cafe racer. Her long brown hair wasbound loosely above her head and a few tendrils of her dark curls tucked behindher ears out of the way. The garage floor was littered with tools and empty oilbottles making apparent of her progress in the evening. The task had becomecathartic for her, taking her mind off a hectic life that had seemed to runaway from her. The feel of the oil had a surprising calming effect as sherubbed the slick substance between her fingers.
Anyways, she needed to finish this if she wanted to take itout for a spin before midnight. It had been a long cold winter, and this wouldbe the first ride of the season since the snow had left the streets. She hadfinished the oil change, topped off the coolant, and the chain had beencleaned. All she needed to do now was check the pressure in the tires andchange the air filter. Grabbing the new filter of the cart beside her, Immogenefreed it from its package and squatted down to finish the task at hand.
Amid inserting the clean filter into its housing the airshifted behind her making Immogene aware she was no longer alone. Her fingersitched to reach for the hidden blade in her boot but held off waiting for herunannounced companies’ intentions.
“I have to say Robinhood this isn’t a bad thing to walk inon, yer ass presented to me like a fucking present in’all.” His low voicedripped like smooth honey with a rumbling vibration that resembled a god damnjetliner.
There was no mistaking that smug thick New York accent ofher favorite red banded turtle, “What do you want Brute?” she hissed playfullymaking sure to push her backend out just a little more to antagonize thehotheaded mutant. “And what if I was waiting for someone else? What if I had adate?” Still refusing to turn around to meet his green gaze, Immogene internallylaughed hearing Raphael growl ominously at her jest.
She could hear him surge forward on instinct, the rough padsof his feet slapping against the cool cement floor of the garage as Raphaelcame for her.
“Ya better not have another guy comin here. I’ll crush hisskull if he touches you.”
She waited just a few seconds as the hulking mutant came upbehind her and when his dense arms reached for her, Immogene evaded his meatypaws and danced away with a smug smile. She put her bike she had lovinglynicknamed ‘The Brute’ in between her and the worked up mutant making sure tokeep him at arm’s length. Clicking hertongue in the back of her throat Immogene pulled a rag from her back pocket andwiped a few smears of oil from her fingers. “Tsk tsk Raph, when will you learnto share?”
This time he was ready, using the skill of his extensivetraining Raph leapt over the bike and was on her in seconds his green digitsfinding purchase on her hips. With a little more force than he intended Raphaelpulled her to him glowering down into her eyes. “You’re mine Immogene, there’sno fighting that.” Leaning down she felt his nose move along her throat takingin her scent in a long dramatic pull. “Did I ever tell yah how good you smellafter you work on yer bike? Sweat, oil and a hint of metal, it’s anirresistible combination, makes me think of you ridingmore than just that bike of yours. Matter of fact I think that’s exactly whatyou should be doing.”
Immogene elongated her neck giving him better access andhissed when his teeth nipped at her pulse point for good measure. “Is that whatyou came here for Raph, a ride? It’s very presumptuous of you to think that I’dentertain the thought.” She tried to sound confident in her words knowing fullwell she would give the red brute anything he wanted all he had to do was ask.But they liked to play their little games, cat and mouse, one trying to pushthe other buttons until they were both positively vibrating with need. Thesegames always lead to torn clothes, bites that left red angry welts and copiousamounts of bodily fluids exchanged and this game would be no different.
Raphael’s hand came up and gripped her chin firmly bringingher face back down to meet his. With half hearted defiance Immogene locked eyeswith Raphael and nearly melted right there on the spot. That lopsided grin,that fucking ass knew what that smile did to her. His green eyes sparkling withmischief and that smile what showed just a little of his pearly white teeth andthe tip of his broad tongue sticking out just past his green lips. That was acruel and unfair trick; the bastard would pay for that one.
“Bastard, you’re cheating.” She growled hooking her fingersat the top of his plastron and pushed.
A dark chuckle rolled off his tongue and he surged forwardclaiming her mouth in a kiss that was all teeth and tongue. He wasted no timeand hoisted her up and took the last few final few strides to slam her againstthe wall sufficiently pinning her there with his weight.
When her body connected with the concrete Immogene’s legsmoved on impulse wrapping around his waist just below his shell and tilted herhips to press herself against his already pulsating shaft painfully confined inhis pants. With the new added friction she swallowed his groan of excitement ashe ground himself in her.
Taking his bottom lip into her mouth she bit down and feltthe copperish tang of his blood mingle in their kiss. She would have thoughtRaph would have pulled away swearing but to her excitement he moaneduncharacteristically into her mouth deepening the kiss further. “Kinky fucker!” Immogene sniggered ripping hermouth from his trying to free herself fruitlessly from his iron clad embrace.
“If ya don’t stop squirming I’m gonna tie you up, but why doI have a feeling you’d enjoy that too much?” his breath was short and hot onher cheeks and his fingers traveled impatiently over her body, a testament tohow much he was ready to take her right then and there. “I’m gonna fuck ya sohard you’ll feel me into next week.”
“I doubt that very much, I bet you couldn’t get me to screamyour name once.” Immogene snapped wriggling herself against his cock to egg himon further.
Raphael’s hands dipped between them sliding under her jeansand underwear finding her soaking cunt and easily slipped a thick green fingerinside smiling when she yelped in surprise.
“Looks like someone doesn’t need persuading, looks like tome someone has been ready for this cock for quite a while.” He growled in herear sinking his long digit further into her, crooking it to find that onedelicious spot making her suddenly go complacent in his hands.
“F-fuck you…aahhh fu….”
“Oh I plan on it.”
Again his fingers brushed against that damned spot andImmogene arched herself as far her body would allow despite still being pinnedbetween a wall and the immovable force that was Raphael. Fire was beginning toseep in her veins heating up every part of her aching body.
It was true all daythe red terrapin was on her mind, not far from her consciousness bringing herarousal to a slow simmering boil. She knew he was unpredictable, showing upwhenever he damn well pleased but always seemed to be there when she needed himthe most. Whether it was for several earth shattering orgasms or a warm shellto cling to when the world had been a bit too much for her.
He wasn’t much for words, nothing like Leonardo but those muscledarms and legs were meant for holding her, she fit so perfectly into him nuzzledinto his plastron like a god damn glove. Sometimes she thought he was madespecifically for her but she wouldn’t tell him that. Raphael wasn’t one forsentiment so she kept the sappy shit to herself. She had come to the conclusionshe was madly in love with the red clad turtle and was terrified if she toldhim he’d laugh in her face and walk away leaving her broken and alone with herheart in her hand.
When she felt the loss of his finger as it slipped free ofher warmth Immogene was ripped from her thoughts.
“Where did you go just then?” he huffed into her ear lickingher moister from his green digit.
His breath was warm on her cheek as his lips ghosted overher skin transferring more of his body heat to her. She thought about it for amoment and decided against telling him the truth and squeezed her thighs makingthe muscled bound mutant grunt under the pressure. “Don’t worry about it.”
Raphael suddenly grabbed her hands and thrust them above herhead and latched onto her throat giving his hips a hard roll. “Don’t tell menot to worry about it Robin Hood. You were nowhere near here for a few minutes.What’s going on in that beautiful head of yours?”
When she remained silent Raphael sought out the hilt of hissai and unsheathed the weapon bringing the tip to the collar of her oil stainedtank top. “If ya ain’t gonna talk willingly I’ll fuck it out of ya.”
Immogene broke into smile at his threat, “I’d love to seeyou try.”
With expert precision Raphael tiled his wrist and beganslicing the fabric of her tank top and within seconds the fabric parted andexposed her breasts protected in her blood red bra. “Fuck.” Leaning down hisbroad tongue painted a wet stripe over the top of the supple skin of her chestrumbling in satisfaction. His free hand began to wander down to the hem of herpants but hesitated and rested the tip of his fingers on the now exposed fleshof her midriff.
Immogene didn’t put up too much resistance; she knew tryingto pull from of his hold was futile; he could over power her any day, eventhough if she wanted him to stop he would. Besides the attention he was giving wasslowly sending her into madness. With the combination of his rolling hips andtongue she was finding it harder and harder to breath and concentrate. He neededto hurry up, but when he halted his movements Immogene pried open her eyescatching the smug look on his face.
“Or maybe I won’t fuck you until you tell me what’s going onin that head of yours?”
“You wouldn’t dare!” Immogene hissed digging her nails intothe soft scales of his dense shoulders.
With the speed thatmatched Leonardo’s, Raphael rid her of her pants and underwear in one fluidmotion and gripped her hips hoisting her up like she weighted nothing.
With a sharp intake of breath Immogene found her backresting against the wall sitting on Raphael’s shoulders. She was facing himwith both her thighs around his neck and her heals resting on the back of hisshell and his toothy grin mere inches from her fully open glistening cunt. Hisgreen eyes were trained in on her and his tongue snaked out lining her folds. “Ididn’t say I wasn’t gonna do anything to ya. But until you start talkin therewill be no cumming for you.” Thenwithout a word her dove in burying his tongue inches deep into her warmth.
Like a vice her hands latched onto his green scalp diggingher nails into the scaled flesh there, “Fuu…ahh…jesus!” Rocking her hipsforward into his mouth Immogene gritted her teeth feeling his tongue stretchher open, licking, tasting, consuming. She could feel him growl sendingvibrations up into her core reigniting the fire that had smoldered a few minutesago. Over and over his gifted tongue worked her delving in and out, swirlingand nipping at the tender flesh of her cunt. His lips captured the swollen beadand pulled it into the moist heat of his mouth giving it just enough suction toget her limps trembling and the rush of her climax warming her belly. It racedup and out to her arms and legs consuming her in its blinding wave and justlike that it came crashing to a halt.
The cold air of the evening air soothed over her abandonedcunt, leaving Immogene tense and angry, absolutely livid. “What the fuck Raph!”Her eyes snapped to the bulky terrapin nestled between her thighs, lips glisteningfrom her over flowing excitement.
“You wanna start talkin yet?”
Rage bubbled up from her still quaking belly and she beganthrashing, “You son of a bit….ah SHIT!!!”
Again his lips attacked while one hand pressed her stomachinto the wall and his other hand gripped her thigh holding her in place. Shebucked up again pressing herself further around his mouth growling in angerthat was very quickly melting into mewling submission. Still on the verge ofher denied orgasm Raphael was quick to bring her back to teetering on the brink.The heat was more intense this time as it rushed to the surface, it was hot andtingling making her toes curl in her shoes. As she was about to topple overinto bliss his mouth retreated once again starving off her peak leaving hergasping in frustration.
“God damnit!” she was on the threshold of crying, her bodytrembling and screaming out for her deprived climax.
“Tell me.” Raphael cooed taking a long deliberate lickbetween her saturated folds.
Immogene was about to go insane, every nerve ending wasscreaming and vibrating ready to erupt, she was so fucking close and it wasstarting to become painful. If she wanted to coat that smug prick’s mouth inher cum she would need to swallow her pride and tell him what she’s been scaredto tell the red brute for quite some time. “Ok ok but you can’t laugh.” She huffedrunning her sweaty palms over his green scalp trying to sooth her nerves.
“Fucking tell me Immogene. Tell me what you’re feeling.” Hisusual guttural voice had softened giving her a little more confidence, like heknew what she was going to say.
A loud long sigh escaped her lungs and Immogene gathered herstrength and met the green eyes of Raphael, the brute of the team, the muscle,the passion, the one thing she wanted more than anything in this fucking world.“I was thinking about you Raph, how I know you’re made for me, that I want youfor myself…..that I love you.” She had never felt so vulnerable at that moment,laying all her cards out on the table and naked from the waist down no less.She was at his mercy and every second that passed seemed like an eternity.
After what seemed like forever Raphael met her gaze and shesaw something flash in his eyes and the shit eating grin that he had worn sincehe ambushed her dissipated into a thin scarred line. Shit. Then slowly itreturned bigger and brighter making her heart flutter in its beautiful wake. “It’sabout fucking time.”
Dumbfounded, what did he mean? “What do you mean, it’s abouttime?”
“I was wondering when you’d tell me the truth Robinhood. I’veknown for a grip.”
“You smug son of a bitch!”
Once again he covered her cunt with his mouth and this timeher climax shot to the surface like a raging inferno and erupted in all its gloryand this time Raphael didn’t deny her, her euphoria. Immogene’s body seizedabove him; her nails slicing into the meat of his scalp as she flooded Raphael’swide mouth with her essence. Over and over his tongue lapped at her, savoringher unique flavor gripping her tighter as if she was going to get away, likeshe was the going to disappear in his arms.
Through the dense cloud of her peak Immogene could hear him,feel him rumble as he consumed her eagerly and aggressively prolonging herclimax. She was on the blink of insanity, her whole body was convulsing and shehad stopped breathing a while ago. When it finally crested Immogene drank ingulp after gulp of cool sweet oxygen. Her muscles were still coiled tight fromher release when she barley registered she was being lowered down.
All at once she stopped breathing again when she was slowly impaledon the impressive girth of Raphael’s straining cock. It stretched her toblissful fullness as he lowered her inch by inch letting her pulsating canalconsumed every thick inch of him. God it was heaven being so full of Raph andwhen she was fully seated on all 10 inches of him they both let out a strangledgroan.
“God damn it Immogene, no matter how many times you take mycock, it always feels like the first time.”
Wrapping her legs further around his waist she pressed thehelm of his torrid length against her cervix and rolled her hips with impatience.He obliged quickly pulling almost all the way out before ramming back in makingboth of them cry out. His pace was anything but gentle as he set his hips towork propelling brutally forward repeatedly into Immogene’s willing heat.
She could feel the heat swell again racing towards its end followingon the coat tails of her climax she had just barely recovered from. She concentratedon the thick length impaling her, stimulating her bringing her to the blindingpeak once again.
His breathing was raged and with each drive of his hips hismouth released a throaty groan against the hollowed of her throat. He was closeand she was right there with him ready to follow him over the edge. The firerapidly overflowed inside her bringing every inch of her skin alive. Every brushof his skin, every breath that slipped from his mouth set her on fire, almostthere. Then three little words spilled from his lips, three delicious wordsthat made her jump fully over the edge screaming out his name at the top of herlungs.
“I love you.” Those words whispered in her ear as Raphaelswelled inside her quivering walls delivering load after load of hot cumcoating her womb with his scorching seed. His warmth filled her drenching heras he roared out his peak with rough uneven drives of his hips. There would bebruises on her hips from his grasp the next morning but she didn’t care. Shedidn’t care if the world ended right now, she would die happy.
As they came down from their high Raphael captured her mouthin a searing kiss as he gave the last few pumps of his release emptying himselfcompletely inside her. His body still pressed against her holding her to himImmogene could feel him trembling. Raphael was shaking like a leaf! Thebrute,the stubborn cocky asshole was trembling.
“Say it again.” She pleaded softly when their mouths disengagedwith a wet pop.
“I love you.” It was a whisper that left his green lips seemingto float down her throat warming her belly again.
“Again.”
“Don’t press your luck.”
After a few moments to catch their breaths Raphael loweredImmogene to the floor and slipped free of her body allowing a warm trickle ofhis spent seed slip down her bare thighs. Grabbing a clean towel from her carthe knelt down and cleaned her gently before handing her underwear and pants.
Standing back to his full height Raphael pointed back to herbike and smiled, “So do I get the first ride of the season?”
“Not on your life brute.”

I definitely am an advocate of good design and brands that I stand by, there are plenty of things that I wish I could go back and tell my younger self on a myriad of things. I would not have not wasted time lugging the ugly coffee table into my first apartment, I should have bought two pair of the jeans with orange threading that fit like a glove and stocked up from Rugby Ralph Lauren prior them going out of business. The other one I always think of is, “I should have bought Apple stock.”
To be real, I racked up pretty heavy debt early on in life, upwards of $30,000, it was not good at all. Sure there were unavoidable things like car repairs and what not but I also had two major department store cards and a Banana Republic card for “Formal Attire Emergencies” Of course give me a rope and I think I am a cowboy, give me a credit limit and I think I am a Rockefeller... I self justified a lot of shopping that was out of my means. On one trip to NYC for fashion week I hit up Barney’s CO-OP and Century 21 on credit cards like I was SJP on a bender.
Eventually I got it under control, paid everything down and cancelled all of my credit cards. I got meticulous with my shopping and even went on a three week trip to Paris all on cash. I wish I could go back with what I know now and give my younger self some advice, because even though I am in a good place now, it would have cleared out a lot pointless credit card interest and I would probably own my own house already. Here are some thoughts:
Credit Cards. Sometimes they are needed, but use them like you would 911, only when you have to, and then make minimum payments only or just what you can afford. I made the mistake of trying to send $200 at a time to pay it off faster, but then I would be under funded until the next payday, then would be forced to use credit cards to get by. This is the definition of throwing good money after bad.
Traveling. Make budgets, know that you will want to shop and plan way ahead. For that first Paris trip I pre-paid for everything I could way in advance so I was only paying for food, shopping and entertainment while I was there and had a few months to build up a pool of cash. Then rather than shop day to day, I took pictures of everything I found and wanted, then the day before I left I went back and did one huge shopping day. It prevented me from my the $200 peacoat and not being able to afford food the last three days.
Fashion Budget. Put aside a specific amount month to month that you can afford to spend on luxury items, don’t wait until you are in Bloomingdales and in love with something in order to figure out your monthly budget. I have far too often been standing in a store, item in hand calculating the number of days before my rent check would be deposited. If you set aside $100 a month, $25 a week, in a small savings account (most banks can make it easy to set up auto transfers) you won’t always use it or maybe you will, but doing this will force you to budget around it.
Saving and Investing. This is the big one, I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE F-ING ADVISED ME ON THIS. My view on saving money was “How can I save when I live check to check” and “Investing is shit for old white people with a lot of money” current me would literally slap younger me across the face. Savings wise there are so many services now that roll over your spare change into savings and investment accounts.
I currently swear by Acorns, it’s like micro investing 401k but you can take out your cash penalty free at any time. You would literally be floored in how much you can save in a year by transferring over the remaining $.24 of your $3.76 latte every day. Plus I am making about 8% in interest this year which is much more than any savings account and if you click this link they will offer you $10 cash for signing up.
Stocks, of course I did the stock project in middle school where we fake invested and followed along but beyond that is has been a mystery. I even found eTrade daunting at first Thanks to all of the new tech service providers it’s pretty accessible. I have been playing around with RobinHood lately, it has a low financial barrier of entry and it has a super easy to figure out interface. I have been investing in things that I know and care about, Starbucks, a few fashion retailers and so on. In no place have bought more than 5 shares. I keep my investments at a minimum but have made over 4% on my holdings, which again is better than most savings accounts.
Listen, I love shopping, like seriously love it, but I had to get myself under control, $30,000 in credit card debt is no joke, I literally could have bought a brand new Mini Cooper for that much money. So as much as an item may be a must have in the moment, if you play your cards right, not spending $125 on a pair of jeans today could possibly free you up for a $1,250 shopping trip later, so do your future self a solid and think first.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price To Recover As Regulation Kicks In – Winklevoss Twins
New Post has been published on https://bitcoingape.com/bitcoin-btc-price-to-recover-as-regulation-kicks-in-winklevoss-twins/
Bitcoin (BTC) Price To Recover As Regulation Kicks In – Winklevoss Twins
The Winklevoss Twins say regulation will strengthen trust in the crypto industry and help return bitcoin prices to previous higher levels.
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the owners of the Gemini exchange, flew into the South By SouthWest (SXSW) conference taking place in Austin Texas for their first attendance since 2016.
In their call for tighter regulation the twins cited the missing $194 million at QuadrigaCX as just the latest debacle to beset the industry, with the Mt.Gox implosion the event that set them on the road to setting up Gemini.
“There are a lot of carcasses on the road of crypto that we’ve seen and learned from. At the end of the day it’s really a trust problem. You need some kind of regulation to promote positive outcomes,” said Cameron in comments to Bloomberg.
Checks and balances
His brother Tyler also weighed in. “You want to have a couple of layers of checks and balances. We are here for the long haul.”
Not everyone will agree with those aims, preferring crypto stays as far away from government and regulators as possible.
Although there is no direct quotation, according to the Bloomberg report the twins see regulation as the key to bitcoin price recovery:
Better oversight and compliance will also help Bitcoin’s price recover to prior levels, he said, adding that it may be possible for Bitcoin’s value to increase in the coming years.
The twins inherited their wealth and famously took Mark Zuckerberg to court after accusing him of stealing the idea for Facebook from them.
Their Gemini is regulated and the twins were behind the setting up of a self-regulatory industry body in the US, the Virtual Commodities Association. Prominent exchanges Bitflyer US, Bittrex and Bitstamp are members alongside Gemini.
They are now pushing a global vision for Gemini as crypto seeks to make good on its technological potential to pull the unbanked on the world into the formal economy.
“With a crypto address and a smartphone, all of a sudden you are in the system. We are really just trying to extend the financial system, so you can send dollars anywhere in the world,” said Cameron.
He even went so far as to envision a future in which the main market for value transfer will be between machines, not humans.
Volatility, Europe and robots
“These devices will need to transact value, and they’ll probably talk through companies like Gemini.”
In a separate interview, this time with Yahoo Finance, the twins revealed that the Gemini exchange “is hoping to open in Europe soon”.
They were pushing their new mobile app, launched in December
Asked what they thought about volatility Tyler said: “It’s pretty normal for a new asset to be volatile at different points in time.”
“Overall we end up at a better floor than we started,” added Cameron.
Continuing, he noted “it might be volatile but has moved in the right direction”, pointing out that when they were last at SXSW bitcoin was priced at $400 and is now near $4,000.
The twins took every opportunity to push their products, as we’ve come to expect.
They said the theme in terms of business development for Gemini was “going global and going mobile”
The Winklevosses shared that they have the UK, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, “and some other among other jurisdictions” in their sights for Gemini’s global roll out.
Asked what they thought of the competition from the likes of trading app Robinhood and its proven ability to attract millennials, the twins countered that Gemini is not an equities brokerage but “a crypto-native company… a custodian, exchange and a platform”.

Money at 30: Acorns vs. Robinhood
A few weeks ago, I offered a list of some of my favorite personal finance apps and shared how they could come in handy at different points in your financial journey. Two of the apps I included on the list — Acorns and Robinhood — are aimed at would-be investors who may be intimidated by the world of brokerage firms, commissions, and more. This then begs the question: which is better for beginning investors?
Before we get to an answer for that question, let’s take a look at how Acorns and Robinhood works, what each has to offer, and where both could be improved.
How the Acorns and Robinhood Apps Work
How Acorns works
Acorns is what’s known as a micro-investing app. In fact the platform will allow you to start investing with as little as $5. Additionally, Acorns has a clever way to ensure that you’re consistently funding your account and building your portfolio.
The main feature of Acorns is called Round-Ups, with the idea being that you’re investing your spare change. To achieve this, Acorns will ask you to link your credit and debit cards so that it can monitor your transactions and total up your “change” by rounding up each purchase to the nearest dollar (hence the name). Once you reach more than $5 in Round-Ups, Acorns will pull the money from your linked account and invest it in a selection of stocks and bonds for you.
Beyond Round-Ups, users can also elect to make one-time contributions or set up recurring transfers. Plus the app’s Found Money section features offers from various retailers. By completing these offers, you can earn a little extra money that will be added to your account.
How Robinhood works
Robinhood’s selling point is fairly straightforward: buy and sell stocks without fees. That’s exactly what the app offers, enabling users to purchase real stocks from real companies, all at face value. Sure it may sound like a simple idea, but it’s actually quite revolutionary.
Despite it being a free service, Robinhood doesn’t skimp on features. When it comes to buying and selling stocks, this means having the ability to set limit orders (where you can state how much you’re willing to pay for a stock and have Robinhood execute your order if it becomes available) among other options. Like with Acorns, Robinhood also allows you to set up automatic transfers to your account or make one-time contributions on the fly.
Although stocks were the main game on Robinhood for some time, recently they’ve expanded to bring new investment opportunities to the platform. For example, earlier this year they introduced Robinhood Crypto, allowing users to buy and sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and — most recently — Dogecoin. They’ve also started rolling out support for options trading the past few months as well.
The Pros and Cons of Acorns and Robinhood
Where Acorns succeeds
The biggest benefit Acorns has it that it makes investing simple, automatic, and accessible. From the Round-Ups feature that show’s doubting users that they do have enough money to start investing to the Found Money features that further incentivize you to contribute to your account, the app does a great job of keeping users engaged. Also motivating are the projection charts the app provides, showing users how much money they’ll accrue if they stay on their current course.
Another way Acorns makes investing easy is that it doesn’t ask users to build their own portfolios but instead allows them to choose from five options. These range from conservative to aggressive, with the mix of stocks and bonds shifting each time. Furthermore, with Acorns sharing what each portfolio option is comprised of, those investing rookies who do want to learn more about best practices can find value in these resources.
Where Robinhood succeeds
As I’ve said before, if Acorns is investing 101, Robinhood is likely the 201. With this app, users can select which companies they invest in and become full-fledged shareholders. This includes the ability to vote on shareholder matters and receive dividends (I should note that Acorns also enables users to earn dividends).
Even though it may be a more advanced experience than Acorns, Robinhood still has a lot to teach its users — especially with the recent addition of options trading. The app not only allows you monitor your current positions as well as a watchlist of other stocks but also includes a feed of financial news that can help users stay informed about the markets and beyond. At the same time, Robinhood also succeeds in demystifying investing by erasing the images of brokers yelling over a telephone to a guy on a crowded sales floor and replacing it with an elegant, easy to use interface.
Where Acorns could improve
My single biggest complaint about Acorns is that it isn’t free. Instead, their basic service is $1 a month. That might not sound like a lot but, in the old days when the fee was deducted from your investment funds, you could see how much it cut into your earnings. These days the app pulls its monthly fee from your linked bank account instead, which does make it so you can continue to earn on your money but also makes it so you don’t notice how these dollars are adding up.
One other slightly annoying aspect of Acorns is that Round-Ups don’t actually happen right away, leaving you to wait until you’ve crossed that $5 threshold before your money is transferred. That said, the company has announced their own Acorns Spend debit card that enables instant Round-Ups. Then again, the card carries a $3 monthly fee, which covers the basic Acorns service, their Acorns Later retirement account service, and the card itself.
Finally, one of the aspects of Acorns that’s a “pro” for some may be a “con” for others. In this case I’m referring to their pre-set investment mixes. While these five options do allow some flexibility, it’s not hard to imagine some users would like to have a bit more control over their own investment destiny. Therefore those who don’t want to leave their investment portfolio up to algorithms may want to look elsewhere.
Where Robinhood could improve
Speaking of controlling your destiny, one downside of Robinhood is that you’re really on your own. If you choose to buy a stock that goes from $40 to $5 overnight (or, in the case of crypto, $20,000 to $8,000 in a few weeks), you’re really S.O.L. Meanwhile, it seems less likely that Acorns’ investment mixes would experience nearly as much volatility, easily making it the “safer” choice — if there is such a thing when it comes to investing.
The other thing about Robinhood is that it doesn’t necessarily offer as much motivation or instant gratification as Acorns in the sense that there’s no Round-Ups equivalent. Sure you can set up automatic transfers but, since you can only buy full shares of stock, you may have to wait a while before you have enough to purchase the likes of Disney, Netflix, Alphabet, etc. One could argue that this set-up actually teaches an important virtue and that investing shouldn’t be as much about quick wins as longterm gains, but it’s something that needs to be discussed nonetheless.
Acorns vs. Robinhood — The Verdict
At the risk of it sounding like a cop out, the answer to the “Which is better: Acorns or Robinhood?” question is, “it depends.” Personally, I’ve taken more of a shine to Robinhood in recent weeks because of how it allows me to invest in the stocks of my choosing and does so without costing me a thing. Meanwhile, those who aren’t quite ready to take the plunge and purchase big-time stocks will likely prefer the “set it and forget it” options Acorns provides — although they may start to resent that $1 a month fee like I did.
Ultimately, I will say that I still hold accounts with both apps and use them frequently… I just find myself using Robinhood more. Of course, with Robinhood being free and Acorns costing just a $1 for your first month, there’s little risk in trying out each of these options for yourself and seeing which one you prefer.
