saltnsugarbear's 200 follower banquet!

omg hello! hi hello!

we've made it to 200!! this is very, very exciting and I'm a bit more organized this time! below you will find the details of the celebration and rules and some more thanks!

Some rules before we begin!

-- This event will take place between November 14th all the way to November 22nd!

-- Meaning! From 12am November 14th to 1159pm November 22nd you can send anything from the list below!

-- I ask that you include a prompt paired with a character from my x reader list, if no character or prompt are paired your ask will deleted for maximum organization on my end!

-- try as I might, I looked over the lists and attempted to pick some that didn't have stuff I'm not into. However, if I managed to miss one, I will communicate that it's not something I vibe with and will ask for you to submit a new prompt!

-- I think this is everything?

-- Like everything else, I ask for some patience!

Here are the prompt lists!

You can pick from the family friendly lists; fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, new relationship or secret pining!

Or you can choose from the smut selection; inexperienced, "just like that", guided, list 1 or list 2!

Don't want to do a prompt? That's okay! I've got two games going on!

-- the fruit game where you ask me about writing!

or

-- the emoji game where you can learn more about me!

Don't want to play a game or send a prompt? That's okay! here's some other options for you:

-- send a 📸 and a character from the x reader list or my dynamic list and I can make you up a moodboard!

-- send a 🎧 and I'll tell you what I'm listening to/listened to last!

-- send one of these 📻, and i will give you a song i think suits you or your blog!

(moodboard idea from Mouse <3)

😐📊🌝🍰 for ask game you just rebloged

OKAY I SAID I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO BED BUT I SAW THIS BEFORE AND GOT TOO EXCITED EEEEEEEEEEEE!! ty anon! <3

"😐 What embarrasses you most about your own writing?"

it would be too easy to say just all my old writing in general (old as in pre-2017, to me) and while that may be true I'll try to think of something more specific. Hmm. . .

Something I am sincerely embarrassed about is just how often I miss typos in work I've already posted. My most common type of typo is just using the wrong word, but I also tend to skip words a lot and (specifically for my Disco Elysium fics) I consistently misspell 'Kineema' as 'Kimeena' and there's been multiple instances where I didn't notice it until WEEKS after it has been posted.

"📊 Current number of WIPs"

Okay a quick count of the stories that I have like, actively worked on more than a title or a single sentence it is TEN works in progress. Not all of them are going to turn into finished works but it's at least ten different ideas I have that is at least a paragraph written (there is one that is actually 'finished' but I just really don't like it and i don't know if I should edit it or just post it to my side blog).

"🌝 Who is one character you haven’t yet written for that you would like to?"

I'm honestly surprised I haven't been inspired with an idea for Klaasje/Ruby yet. Like I really do want to do something with them, toxic and painful yuri my beloved, but I don't have any IDEAS.

Klaasje is actually!! In my story notes for my Roller Derby/GenderSwap AU that I sadly have let fall to the wayside. I don't want to give up on it yet, but I have this terrible habit with 90% of my long-chaptered fics. I'm way better at one-shots.

"🍰 Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave)."

OOO OKAY You know what fanfic I actually reread TODAY? Leather and Lace by skullshrooms. It is Harry/Kim, one chapter, rated E, and it has some very sweet moments and well done gender exploration for Harry, which you can tell from what I have written that I like that LOL. link here

Tav's sex parade – Chapter 4: Where the sun kisses the sea (Gale x Tav)

(Trigger warning (18+): graphic description of sex, smut, gentle slow sex, coitus a tergo, fluff, the feels)

To avoid confusion: In one of my other fanfics Halsin and Tav had named the owlbear cup Naïlo, which means 'night breeze' in the Elven language.

Karlach’s and Wyll’s faith and Tav’s promise to them are based on one of my other fics.

Tav sat in the middle of Gale’s living room, cross-legged, strumming her lute, surrounded by papers and ink. She faced the open double-door window which led onto the small terrace, towards the sea. The evening sun shone right through the window, bathing the room in golden light. Tara, Scratch and Naïlo were resting on the carpet and pillows, listening to Tav's warm voice. She sang uncharacteristically high-pitched and softly.

"Down, down by the river,

where the ancient trees shiver,

are sleepy bears and night orchids in caves.

Ruby-red diamonds and purple waves

swirl farther down into water, deep,

where the winged beasts sleep."

Smiling, Gale lingered in the doorframe, not wanting to disturb his beloved's streak of creativity. He'd read and dabbled enough in poetry to understand the symbolism of her lyrics.

Tav stopped singing, but kept humming the melody that reminded him of a lullaby.

"Fire, fire, desire, hmm... Blade... shade? Hells, bells. Metal heart... part, apart..."

The bard stopped mumbling and frowned at her ink-smeared notes.

"Metal heart, forged in fire, found the blade of her desire?" Gale suggested after a moment of silence.

Tav turned around with a smile.

"Not bad. Maybe I'll use it. Thanks for the input."

She quickly scribbled it down. Gale finally walked closer and remarked: "It's wonderful to see you compose again. I missed watching you weave your own kind of magic."

"Mh, poetic as always, love," Tav smirked. "I thought while you and Astarion work through every single book in Waterdeep, Shadowheart helps your mother with her clients, and Halsin does his part to search for answers, I can make myself useful otherwise. You all keep your noses to the grindstone to find a way to get Karlach and Wyll out of Avernus, meanwhile, I go and make some money. We could use it, to be honest."

"You don't have to do this, if you don't want to," Gale told her.

"That's sweet, but I want to pull my weight. As you know, I taught myself to read and write, and I'm still very slow at reading. 'So slow that the bookworms eat away the paper in front of my eyes', as you've put it so politely."

Ashamed, Gale lowered his gaze.

"I'm sorry, that had been tactless of me. I shouldn't have said it."

"Well," she replied, with a shrug. "It's true at least. Thus, I'll do what I can do best: sing and perform. I miss it, honestly; the crude tavern goers, the passed-out drunkards, the strongly-perfumed working girls, the ill-tempered tavern keepers... I had quite the life before I've met you and got all boring and tame."

At that, Gale barked a laugh.

"You and tame? That fits as well together as oil and water! Don't worry, you definitely didn't lose your spark."

"Good," Tav grinned. She got up to kiss and hug him. Then, she looked at him mischievously. "I might need a reminder of my wild side."

Gale glanced towards the animals and cleared his throat. Tara snickered and herded the dog and the owlbear out of the living room.

"Thank you, Tara. You're a gem."

"I'd prefer if you'd show your gratitude with a big plate of Beholder jerky instead of polite words, Mister Dekarios," the tressym teased.

Gale bit his lip to keep himself from laughing.

"Of course, Tara. I'll remind 'Mister Dekarios' tomorrow morning," Tav filled in for him, amused.

The tressym let out a satisfied purr before pushing the door close, and Tav chuckled.

"Tara's rather handy. I know why you love her so much."

"Hm," smirked the addressed.

He leaned down to kiss the bard again and she wrapped her arms around him.

"I have an idea," Tav all but purred.

"I'm scared," Gale smiled.

She snorted a laugh and kissed him again. Then, she got up on her tiptoes to whisper in his ear.

"I want you to take me on the terrace. I want to do it while the sun goes down and witnesses our act of passion."

The wizard turned crimson, spluttering: "You want to do it out there?! Where everyone can see us?"

"Yes," grinned Tav. "I want to overlook the water while you take me from behind."

"Gods..." Gale wanted to hide somewhere. "That's rather... feral."

The bard grinned devilishly while playing with his hair.

"As I said; I need a reminder that I'm not boring and tame."

"I see why you get along so well with our druid," the wizard muttered. "Holy..."

Tav put on her best show, fluttering her lashes at him with a pout.

"You don't want to? I'm devastated."

"You don't look devastated," Gale retorted amused. "You look like the cat that got the canary."

"Do I get the canary?" Tav smirked and Gale sighed.

"I'm not sure. Doing it from behind... I can't see your face that way and it feels impersonal."

"Are you truly worried about this? We know each other for a year now, and I trust you – in and out of the bedroom. You said it yourself; there are infinite ways to be intimate. So, why not this way too?"

"Alright, let's try this. Anything for my insufferable bard, I guess."

He kissed her again before they moved onto the terrace. Tav leaned her back against the wooden railing, pulled Gale into another kiss, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You stole my lavender soap again," he remarked, no heat behind it.

"I just borrowed it – as always," she replied cheekily.

"Mhm. 'Borrowed'."

"Stop complaining and take your pants off. If we wait any longer, the sun will be gone."

Gale sighed, but took a step back to doff his trousers and underwear. Tav did the same, kicking everything into the living room carelessly.

"Come here."

She pulled him into another kiss. This time, it was much sloppier and less tender. The bard turned around, gripped the railing of the terrace, and spread her legs wider.

"Gods... look at you," Gale muttered, flustered. "Do you have no shame?"

"No. Not when I want something. And what I want now, is you in me. So hurry up. Please."

Gale had mercy on her (and himself, let's be honest here), crowded in on her, kissed her neck, and entered her slowly. Tav arched her back into it, panting. The wizard placed his hands on hers and buried his face in the side of her neck, breathing right into her ear. The bard shuddered, it was perfect. Gale's thrusts were slow but deep and precise. He knew how to make it good for her. Tav moaned and tilted her head more to the side to give him more space to kiss her and pant into her ear, while they watched the glary, red sun vanish behind the sea.

"Where's your infamous verbosity now?" Gale asked lowly. "Tell me what you see, in all your flowery words."

Tav moaned and tried her damn best to articulate the scenery.

"I- ah! I see how the sun kisses the sea. The sun... ngh... sinks into the sea, gently like a mh... lover. I see how... ah... flaming red... makes love... to blue to create... purple. Aah... Gale... please."

The addressed hummed and used his elegant, deftly fingers to massage her clitoris. Moaning, Tav dropped her head between her arms and arched her back more, pushing her buttocks into her partner's lap who's breath hitched.

"F- fuck! Please!" the bard sobbed, desperate for release. Panting, Gale leaned his head against her shoulder, flicked his wrist over her pubic mound, and climaxed with a guttural moan. He didn't stop moving his fingers though and shortly after, Tav followed him over the edge noisily. They stayed where they were, panting into the young night. The sky had turn light-blue and the first stars were visible.

Tav sighed and twisted her torso around to kiss Gale gently. He slowly pulled out so that she was able to face him fully.

"You were never this loud before," Tav remarked.

"I'm not the noisy type," Gale answered.

"But you were today. Why? Was it the semi-public setting that turned you on?"

"No! It just felt... I don't know... more intense? I've never - hm. I've never took anyone from behind before."

"And you liked it that much?"

"I don't know. Maybe," Gale muttered, slightly uncomfortable.

"Well..." Tav sighed and pulled him into a hug. "I liked it too. It was really nice. Something else for once. We can do it again if you wish."

"I'd like that," Gale admitted and blushed.

"Great," Tav smiled and kissed him again.

The cool evening breeze from the sea caressed them while they stood on the terrace and kept kissing each other tenderly.

"LOSS OF MY LIFE."

veena lambert x mare torres

angst..ANGST

·:*¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨*:··:*¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨*:·

Silence. Deadly, spitting, silence.

It filled up the room with soundless horror.

Mare sat, hunched over on the bed. Rune, his beloved pet kitten beside him, primrose perched on her back, her wings wrapped around the smaller feline's body, His mask was laid out on the pillow beside him.

He had been through a lot, at just 18 he'd seen the brutal reality of life. He had lost and loved.

But nothing could ever compare to the void left in his heart.

A void she has left him with.

He remembered it so clearly, He remembered all the sounds, the room, her.

How could he forget? how could he forget the lips he was so familiar with, from the usual shade of light pink to almost purple. How could he forget the face he'd study for hours, painting and drawing. She was his muse, his love, his everything.

She didn't want to go, she was frightened. He held her hand, He kissed her head and told her she would be alright.

But she wasn't.

He remembered the doctors forcing him home, how could he sleep when she was like this? she was alone, cold, frightened.

and she died that way.

He remembered the phone call he received, the gentle voice of the nurse informing him on the events of the night, He took the news hard, He knew she was scared and he left her anyway. He let himself get forced out the door, pushed home and onto his bed.

He cried. He cried until he physically couldn't, choking on silent sobs, reaching for the nearest thing he could, a sweatshirt. Her sweatshirt.

Even now, a week later he was still struggling, of course he would, he had just lost the love of his life. He wanted to marry her. They should have been, but it was all too late now. Their future dragged down the shore by the tide of time, pulling everything to a deep close.

Once again he grabbed a jacket of hers, holding it close. It smelled of her, everything in their home did, But what kind of home was it without her?

He placed the jacket down, lifting his phone into his hands, Trembling fingers scrolling down his contact list till it reached her number. He clicked on the call button, letting it ring.

"..hey! If you're hearing this I'm probably super busy, if it's important please leave a message! I'll call you back as soon as I can!!"

Straight to voicemail. Her voice was still there. He bit his lip, chewing slightly. The taste of blood filling his senses. He breathed in, a trembling sigh. One final message.

"..You're not here anymore. You're not here and it hurts.."

He continued, Tears streaming down his torn skin.

"I miss you, I miss you so much it hurts. I'm sorry- I had no idea - if I could have done something I would have, I wish you had told me-,,"

He covered his mouth, muffling his crying as best he could.

"i had something for you,, next week, it was pretty and shiny, ruby and silver. I made sure it would fit your finger veena,, I called your mother, she was ready for dress shopping when you were ready-.."

He anxiously dug his nails into the sheets.

"I could have given you it all, I've been planning for months- I wanted a forever with you- I asked your dad! he said I could- he wanted it!!"

He broke into sobs, burying his head in his hands.

"how am i supposed to go on without you,, what am i supposed to do?.."

He inhaled, lifting the phone back up.

"They better keep you safe up there, You deserve it,,"

"..I love you, I always will, I'll look after prim for you, anything for you.."

He hesitantly hung up. The call log shutting off, He moved across the room, digging through the draws, pulling out a tiny box, flicking it open.

she would have loved it.

He would never forget the night she left him.

She took a piece of him with her.

And he would never be the same.

Superboys Part Two Excerpt : Clark Gets Stoned on his Honeymoon

Lex Luthor, Jason Todd and Emperor Clarkius are wearing their togas. They've just finished a smoke, and Clarkius is wearing his Blue Kryptonite ring. Clarkius can't help but dive in the onboard pool with his toga on and Lex face palms while Jason laughs. Jason made sure they had extra togas, just in case anything happens, and beckons one of the servants to go fetch Clark a fresh one, along with a beach towel to dry off in.

Clarkius is enjoying his swim, diving and surfacing as he does laps back and forth across the pool. Eventually Lex and Jason see the toga surface without Clarkius in it and rather than do a face palm and risk missing the sight, Lex pulls out a camera and takes pictures of his beloved, supposedly solely for blackmail material. Jason knows he'll probably have them framed in an art gallery, but Lex denies it.

Suddenly, Clarkius flies out of the pool, dropping water into the deck of the yacht.

"THE IMPERIAL RING HAS BEEN LOST IN THE WATER FILTER!! YOUR EMPEROR DEMANDS RUBIES!!"

"Clark, we are not giving you Red K," says Lex calmly.

"Awww. Lexie-poo. I'll be really good!"

"No. You won't. You'll ravage Jason here on the deck before flying him into the sky to get some cloud nookie."

"That's not all I'd do," says Clark with an evil grin.

"What does Clarkius think about this?" asks Jason.

"YOUR EMPEROR DEMANDS PIE!!!"

"That's what I thought. Why don't you dry off and put on your toga. I'll go get us some pie."

"THANK YOU, ROYAL CONSORT TO THE QUEEN!!!"

"I am in no way a queen!" protests Lex.

"You are a little," says Jason. "You've got an imperial flamboyance about you."

Lex throws an empty cup at him, but Jason dodges it. "Jason, I expect you to perform your royal duties once we've had dessert."

"Yes, My Queen," Jason says before speeding inside the cabin.

Another cup hits the cabin door and Scotch goes everywhere.

"Damnit. I wasted a perfectly good drink," says Lex as he pours himself a new cup of whiskey.

Clarkius is drying off and shimmying into his toga the wrong way.

"Here, My Emperor, let me help you with that," Lex says as he puts his new drink down and helps adjust Clarkius' toga.

"Thank you, My Queen. I shall have diamond tiaras made for you!"

"Please don't."

"A jewel-encrusted bodice then! Servants! Google Jewel-encrusted corsets and spare no expense! YOUR EMPEROR COMMANDS IT!"

"Ignore him, Jeffrey! He's high!"

"Are you certain, Mr. Luthor?" asks the servant with a laugh.

"Wait!" says Lex. "On second thought, find one in Jason's size."

"I heard that, you prick!" yells Jason from below deck, knowing Lex will hear him.

Clarkius cuddles up to Lex and pulls him to the lounge chairs, scooting them together so they can snuggle under the sun.

"I missed you, Empress,' says Clarkius in a twitterpated voice.

"When, Dear? I've been here the whole time."

"Nuh-Uh. You were over there," Clarkius says, pointing ten feet away where Lex had just been standing.

Sensing the right thing to say, he declares, "I missed you too, Emperor."

They continue to snuggle until Jason brings out pie.

[robyn-goodfellowe]

@howdyfriend i didn't feel likke finishing. the doodle unfortunately because i am tired and i have sososo many things to do today but here is a really quick sketch of ruby for your viewing pleasure :) i'll render her for realsies one day

ruby is a character from a story that i created for a writing contest in spring 2022 that i ultimately did not end up completing or entering due to a lack of time and confidence in both the story and my writing abilities. because this is a story that i do want to tell one day, i won't go super into the plot, but i will tell you some of the core information about my favorite character from it: ruby <3

ruby is a little girl who immigrated with her dads from cape verde to north carolina (SAD! 💔) when she was ~3 years old. she was by all means a normal child growing up! she was an absolute ray of sunshine and a huge source of joy to everyone who knew her- even as a child, she was always regarded as very charming! she knew how to wrap people around her little fingers and did it with ease. she was very in tune with her surroundings- nature and animals especially-, but her talent was always with reading others in her life. she had an affinity for befriending other kids that were normally bullied, teased, or just weren't very good at making friends, and because she was so well-liked, this friendship offered these other kids protection from bullying. the first friend she really latched onto was khalil (the protagonist of this story), but there were three others that joined her main circle of friends growing up: jordyn, and fraternal twins haadi and fatima. she was, really, the heart of a lot of things: the heart of her friendship, the heart of her family, so on and so forth. in a way, the world did revolve around her. people were always drawn to her and she knew it.

and then one day she went missing.

two weeks before school let out for summer and exactly five days after her thirteenth birthday, ruby started walking home from school and never came home. she was reported missing, but nothing ever came of it- there were no signs as to where she could've gone or anyone who could've taken her. some theorized that maybe she'd tried to take a shortcut through the woods near her home- something she was known to do often when she walked home alone (both out of a love for nature and because it was faster)- but extensive volunteer search and rescue results yielded no results. it was strange. she was there one moment and gone the next in the blink of an eye.

her disappearance absolutely tore her community apart- her fathers relationship suffered, her friend group fell apart, that sort of thing. there was nowhere to search and no one to question and ruby, beloved as she was by her community, was eventually just... accepted as gone and set aside. after all, what can you do when you've done everything you can and still yield no results? (... damn, sounds familiar...)

exactly two years later, two weeks before let out for the summer and five days after what would've been ruby's fifteenth birthday, khalil- ruby's oldest friend- walks home from school. he'd grown up in the same neighborhood as ruby did, but it never really felt like home after she'd left. her family had always been more of a family to him than his own had (his mother is a hoarder with deep, complex issues stemming from her own childhood, and while she loves him greatly she ultimately just was never meant to be a parent and it really shows) and he'd distanced himself through his own grief when he realized that ruby was gone for good. except... there she is, standing by the trail entrance to the woods so many people had meticulously combed through searching for her. wearing the same clothes, holding the same backpack, and waving brightly at him like she hasn't been missing for two years.

despite khalil's tears and ruby's confusion over said tears and seeing him (why does he look so much older?), it's a happy reunion between the two of them. its even happier when khalil practically sprints to ruby's dads' home and almost breaks down the door knocking on it. ruby's home, she's home, and everyone's happy! it's ruby! it's a miracle! most missing children never come home, but she did! she came home alive, whole and healthy... unnaturally so, it seems, because a medical examination that the local precinct insists on preforming on her reveals that she's... completely unchanged.

it's not just that she's still wearing the same clothes or carrying the same backpack (neither of which show any dna that isn't hers) from the day she went missing. it's not just that she's the same height and the same weight as she was when she was thirteen. it's not just that she's still wearing the exact same bandaid she'd put on at lunch the day she'd disappeared because she'd scraped her knee dicking around with her friends. it's not just that the food she didn't finish the day she disappeared left inside of her bag is still as fresh as it was that morning.

she's completely untouched by time. she's still thirteen, and whatever happened to her within the span of the two years she'd been missing, she claims that she doesn't remember any of it. in fact, it doesn't seem like anything happened to her at all. it's almost be tempting to pretend she'd never disappeared in the first place. ruby's fathers, her friends, khalil, they should all be thankful! not everyone gets to have their loved ones back in one piece- or at all.

after all, even if there's still a two year gap in her life where her memories should be, she's still home, and that's enough. sure, her eyes might be growing lighter by the day and there might be more sharp teeth in her mouth than any human normally has, but she's still the same old ruby everyone knows and loves.

it's just a shame there's something else underneath her skin now, too.

i think dwight and ruby would be friends because they both get to have fun body-related horrors :) but outside of that he just feels like one of those kids that ruby would be really quick to latch to and be protective of, even before she goes missing. he's a big sweetheart and ruby has a big, big soft spot for people like him. he's her friend now. they're having soft tacos later!

ruby’s very own tour of hawkins!

yoohoo! here is all ze blurbs i wrote for the beloved celebration <3 enjoy!! and as always, i'll bite chew devour (appreciate) any reblogs so feel free to validate me hehe the kiss of venus the prompt: kisses in which ‘i’ll kiss you right now to prove i don’t feel anything for you’‘ but the kiss proves the opposite. You’re convinced that a bad kiss means a boy doesn’t like you. Steve disagrees and offers a good kiss to prove it — even though he does, very much, like you. fem!reader. only exception the prompt: “I want to spend all my time with you.” You’re not used to people sticking around and Steve’s seems to be an exception. Even better, he might like you the same way you like him. crush vs. crush the prompt: physical touches that aren't sexual but full of love >>>> Steve and you debate who fell first and you realise Steve’s been pining for you a lot longer than you’d ever realised. wistful wishes the prompt: forehead against forehead Steve’s just your best friend and no amount of wishing on eyelashes, 11.11’s, and dandelions is changing that. Til he notices the wishing. missed you, lover the prompt: a swirling reunion kiss You go out of state and Steve makes sure gives the proper boyfriend welcome back. (a real good kiss hehe) talk it out the prompt: fumbling with their hand as you tell a story. It’s been a long day and Steve helps you unwind, even if it just means holding you when it turns to tears. misplaced kiss the prompt: an accidental kiss that confuses you both, but only a moment pass before you crash your lips back against each other's Steve has been planning his move on you— a kiss on the cheek — for weeks. He misses and kisses you straight on the lips instead. Then deals with the aftermath. unlucky seventh the prompt: extending your hand for them to hold everytime they walk behind you and they wrap clasp their fingers around yours You’re stuck at the back of your group, lagging behind because there’s not enough space for all of you side-by-side on the sidewalk. Steve makes sure you’re not feeling forgotten. softest lips in the world the prompt: “Nobody in the world has hands this soft.” Dustin gives stellar advice and you try out the trick of comparing hand sizes with Steve. A slip of a tongue reveals a little more than intended. love in the a.m the prompt: a kiss that says 'we're late for work, but let's be later' Kisses in bed, kisses in the shower, kisses in the kitchen— it’s a wonder you and Steve ever make it to work on time. wildflower bouquets the prompt: “Thanks for marrying me.” + “I have never loved you as much as I do right now.” A wedding in a garden, lots of tears, and one very happy couple. fem!reader. rough day the prompt: “I wouldn’t wanna fight you. You’re pretty feisty.” Keith is an asshole but hearing you threaten to fight him might just be the thing to make Steve feel better. kiss it better the prompt: "I've had a terrible day at work so just kiss me." Sometimes the only remedy for Steve is a kiss from his lover. clingy drunk the prompt: physical touches that aren't sexual but full of love >>>> + "Tch, stop moving!" "Why-?" "You feel amazing in my arms." You’re a clingy drunk, demanding cuddles in the middle of a party— Steve thinks it’s downright adorable.

ramblings headcanons & thoughts this one (nsfw, we just nearly died tender-lovin sex), in the summertime (river date with stevie hehe)

[the-invisible-queer]

I like the name Chelsea, but I feel like it would be slightly confusing bc my brain would be trying to picture Chelsea Kane and she's already Stella lol. That may just be a me problem though. For kid name ideas, maybe since Joe is a musician he'd give his daughter a name from a song? There are literally infinite songs with female names in the title out there so that's a wide category - Caroline, Eleanor, Annie, Kelsey, Rhiannon, Ruby, Cecilia, Lucy, Ramona...you could even be a bit meta and go with Mandy (after the Barry Manilow song, of course). I also think Daphne and Chloe are cute though. Other names that give me a similar vibe are Roxy and Lainey.

Davenport is the kind of last name that makes me feel like they should have ever so slightly pretentious white boy names (no hate to anyone with these names whatsoever lol it's just the vibe they give me) like Easton, Harrison, Elliot, Boyd, Brent, Miles, Wyatt, Vincent, Sebastian, Dashiell...my corny ass would definitely name twin characters those last two and call them Bash and Dash lmao.

Sorry for lowkey writing a novel. I just like names 🙈

I'll do a poll of the names I have! Chelsea isn't set in stone. It did happen after Chelsea Kane showed up in 911 so I was like WHAT IF?!?

I do love the idea that he'd name his daughter after a song but I need you to know the psychic damage caused by seeing Eleanor of "Eleanor Rigby" as a name choice because I fully forget that that is an option despite my whole Beatle thang 🤣

Despite me posting the Beatles almost daily I often forget about them.

Bestie you must have missed naming Drew Davenport and making him a cousin to my beloved OC Philip "Lip" Davenport. They do indeed come from money and a pretentious family.

So it only seems right to give them pretentious white boy names.

You must have also missed the novels someone sent me of Joe and Nick's IRL romantic timelines. 🤣

Never apologize for long asks.

[cheemken]

what are the things you love and hate about all of the pokemon games you played?

Well now I can say I have played gens six and seven, but I haven't finished them yet so I'm just gonna post down what I like abt em so far hahah

I'm also adding the spin offs bc they're also pkmn games

Anyways under the cut hahah

Red/Blue/Yellow - honestly... I just liked that Pikachu can follow us on Yellow, wish they kept that feature all throughout each games, it only came back on HGSS, SwSh, BDSP, and ScVi. Also the fact I can get all three starters hahah

Starting from gen one

Crystal - Kris supremacy, the highlight of it really, also really dope we can visit another region post game

TCG for the GBC - it's fun, made me understand the card game a bit better back then hahah

Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald - HOENN SUPREMACY ough this is home in game form fr, this and BW/BW2, but more on this really hahaha it's cool the contests are cool actually, love the starters, they're the first starter trio where I liked all of them, love the characters, I love my son Wally so much, May/Brendan too, Wallace the true Hoenn Champion in my heart (Emerald bias), the best roster of mons, I could go on really

FireRed/LeafGreen - I mean.. idk. It's an improved version of gen one I'll tell you that but yeah

Platinum - Torterra, Garchomp, Riolu, and the contests (yes I liked the contests here too, the contests here low-key better than in gen 3 ngl)

HeartGold - love the pkmn following feature for real, it's so cute, it's dope, wish they added that in gen five hcnxnx

PMD Red/Blue Rescue Team - Red Rescue Team was my intro to pmd, fucked me up so much I had to use the HP cheat lmfaoooo but it's fun tho hahaha

PMD Explorers of Sky - changed me as a person, really dope, the characters are cool, I just hated Chatot at the start lmfao, but dude this game is so fuckin dope pls cndmdn the way Hero and Partner are so soft and I love how they're still together even post game they mean so much to me your honour🥹

White - my absolute beloved omfsssss everything's so cool okay everything abt it is so cool, love the characters man and the story too, dyou know how cool it was seeing all the Gym Leaders interact and fight Team Plasma, dude that blew my mind back then lmfaooo also c'mon the Tao Trio? You mean the greatest Legendary trio? Hahaha

Black 2 - same w White, it's so cool, everything's so fucking dope, plus PWT

Conquest - I like the art style lmfao

X - Diantha my beloved, also the pokemon petting thing I'm just sad it's a bit lag on my emulator but still I really love this feature hahaha

Ultra Sun - the starters, and the pokemon petting thing again hahah

Omega Ruby - look you already know how much I love Hoenn, plus this has mega evolution and it has the dexnav! Also the pokemon petting thing ofc lmfao also also love how they improved Magma and Aqua really idk I just cnmdnd god ORAS Team Magma and Aqua my beloveds jcdmdn

PMD Gates to Infinity - look I just know that Hydreigon isn't really the big bad guy okay and I'm so happy abt that bc it's usually the Dark/Ghost types that are villains in these games so it's a nice change that Hydreigon isn't a villain

Super Mystery Dungeon - man the scene from the start w Nuzleaf looking at the hero and the hero was giving him puppy eyes killed me okay it lives in my head rent free and I wanna draw smth abt it

Unite - ah yes, the moba game, anyways it's dope if you're winning lmfaooo also it's dope Gengar's there they should buff him actually, I think Hex and Sludge Bomb deserve buffs

TCG online/live - the online one was dope, I still miss my Zamazenta deck to this day

Masters EX - the lore chdmdnd they should add more Diantha lore please I am begging😭

Cafe Remix - it's cute, I love the art style of it hahah

-

Now for my gripes for all these lmfaooo

Red/Blue/Yellow - it's boring as hell. I don't like the fans of this one too, most just couldn't accept that people like the newer gens and they always shit on people if they don't like gen one

Crystal - other than not being able to get Mareep, nothing much, they do have a point w the level scaling tho

TCG for GBC - I mean tbf I understand why it's not mentioned much there's not much to it but it's still fun for killing time

Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald - how back breaking it was finding Feebas I honestly gave up, also what the fuck was that Regis mission man💀

FireRed/LeafGreen - same w RBY

Platinum - it wasn't a fun experience for me, it's slow as shit, and I'm pretty fucking sure majority of the people who like this game only likes Cynthia. Fr, no hate on Cynthia, she's a dope character, but she's like the Charizard of the pkmn characs really, she gets everything and is everywhere, how abt giving a chance to other Champions

HeartGold - a bit slow, but not DPPt slow at least, also again w the level scaling

PMD Red/Blue Rescue Team - this would've been so so dope if it weren't for the fact that after the story, Hero and Partner became nothing but normal recruits. Like all that buildup of Hero wanting to stay for Partner, and suddenly they're just like normal recruits, it sucks

PMD Explorers of Sky - Aegis Cave

White - idk but for me it's hard to level up in this game, also the fact the E4 didn't do much on screen, like I wanna know what they did during Plasma's attack

Black 2 - it's,, well it's how the previous characters interacted really, I wish there was more of it, I wanted to see the Gym Leaders interact w each other during the games, pls I wanted to see Bianca and Iris meeting at Castelia bc I know they met up there again please I just know it

Conquest - I think it's a skill issue on my bit but the gameplay was just so confusing for this one, and no I don't mean the battle gameplay, that I got, more on the,, recruiting bit and using of items and everything else—

X - I can't say it's easy just yet bc I really haven't made much progress so hey, for now I'm gonna say at how fucking long it takes when you get an item like dude why does it take so fucking long💀 also the lack of Diantha scenes, she deserves more, honestly she deserves so much better

Ultra Sun - have not finished this so no solid judgement but for now Imma say it's how tedious it is levelling up your mons and idk if it's a skill issue on my bit but like,,, do they really give off such a small amount of exp?? Idk, granted, my pkmn was a bit over levelled hahah

Omega Ruby - Granite Cave man I can't get Aron early on now ncmxnx

PMD Gates to Infinity - again, haven't progressed much so I don't really have a solid judgement for this

Super Mystery Dungeon - same w GTI

Unite - the abysmal matchmaking, the fact that ftp players don't have a way to get gems even if it's through events or missions, the devs thinking gem locking pkmn was a grand fucking idea, the way they can't balance their mons some are just too squishy and some are still strong despite the nerfs, also have I mentioned the matchmaking? Dude fr standard is either full of bots or I get matched w players who don't even know the objectives even if I'm telling them where to gather chxmxn

TCG online/live - live was honestly so so shit and a lot of players agree like even the cards aren't balanced Jesus Christ also it's lag as shit you can't even do anything most of the time and suddenly you lose also fun fact this game almost broke my fucking phone I almost couldn't exit the game and I had to forcefully reset my phone to save it lmfao

Masters EX - I haven't played this much yet for a solid judgement too but damn is the download time for this is slow as shit and fucking crashed on my tab. Also the lack of Diantha lore, pls they should add more abt Diantha she deserves it

Cafe Remix - idk ig it's the fact I'm broke and can't afford stuff in this game bc almost everything needs real money to get, I really thought this was an offline game at first hahah

[viscountessevie]

Ok so I’m glad I’m not the only one upset by Ruby’s recasting, and maybe it’s because I prefer continuity in shows, but even if they’re going with a time jump I don’t want them to recast Florence and Will. They really did Ruby wrong in s1, they took other creative liberties from the books they easily could have given her more of a role.

I want to give Hannah a chance but she doesn’t have the same likeness to Ruby it’s just gonna feel off

Shoutout to the GC esp Zara, Belle and Trivia @jeanvanjer @sophiamariabeckett @hptriviachamp for the great points and discussion on the kiddos! And thanks to Tessa @margoshansons and Lav @sweetestviscount for the final look and approval! 

Related to these posts: Frannie Casting Post 1 | Post 2

Okay so hello anon, while I do agree with all the parts about Ruby and Frannie but I do have to set the record straight about Florence and Will!

These children are minors and if production wants to do a time jump for the Book 4 to 6 of it all, I damn well hope they recast Flo and Will because:

1) They do not look the ages (21 for Hy/Flo and 23 for Greg/Will) they are supposed to be in 1824

2) For their seasons, their characters would be fully grown adults (Hy would be 22 and Greg would be 26). While I loved how HP had the kids growing up, they never had explicit scenes to the degree that Bridgerton does. I would not be comfortable seeing them be in sex scenes in their seasons. Mainly because I saw them growing up on the show and associate them to be the babies of the family. So unless it's completely their choice to continue (if they are their characters' ages if we even get to their seasons), I think they should definitely be recasted.

Also it's worth mentioning some people have been weirdos about Flo since the show aired and so honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Will and Flo step away from their seasons.

As the GC says: PROTECT THE CHILDREN AND DON'T BE GROSS ABOUT THEM!

***

Now that I've cleared that up, let's talk about the Hannah and Ruby of it all.

So in S1, what I understand is Ruby was doing her movie, A Banquet (which I highly recommend yall to watch this is exactly how I knew she'd kill WHWW's storyline and season) so the production schedules clashed so she couldn't be in it more but then again I imagine they didn't give her a lot of scenes so it was okay she was in two productions at the same time.

What I'm pissed about is they didn't guarantee her a storyline in S2 - yeah okay whatever CVD you wanted to give her a bigger storyline but obviously you didn't act fast enough that she decided to find another job still - and so she took her chances and auditioned for another Netflix lead and SHE GOT IT!! I was SO proud of her like get that coin and role to shine in sis!!

Unless it was Ruby’s choice to leave cos she was getting shit screen time (I mean when they wasted it on a single season character like Cousin Jack and LW’s stupid operations both of whom had zero impact on the season) I don’t blame her for leaving and respect her wishes. But if it’s really Shondaland fucking up and not giving a shit about Ruby, then shame on them for dropping the ball, dropping her and going with the easy option of recasting. 

Now for S3 with Frannie’s debut coming up with Benophie’s story, obviously they NEEDED to give Ruby and Frannie more of a real storyline and I being a clown thought ‘Oh wait Lockwood and Bridgerton are both Netflix shows, they can work out a joint production schedule to let Ruby work on both!’

Also if I’m not wrong Lockwood started production shortly after announcing Ruby as the lead so they have a couple of months of shooting ahead of S3, Ruby would have been free by the time S3 started shooting so why didn’t they bring her back??

Two good things I’ll say about Hannah’s casting is that she is gorgeous (so Michael being shook by her when he first sees her and her being a diamond makes sense - it made sense with Ruby too but Hannah looks A LOT like Daphne aka the diamond benchmark of the show - I’ll talk more about their similarity later) and while she does look a tad older than Frannie’s 16 next season, I hope this means she’ll be coupled with the older 5 sibs and not be a baby with G&H anymore! (Also wifey @/sophiamariabeckett does this mean we’ll finally get Fran on mag covers uwu?) 

So I mentioned Hannah looking a lot like Daphne and by extension Phoebe and not to mention she’s exactly a month younger than Pheebs. I have a feeling that she had auditioned for Daphne before this recast and she must have stood out in some way for the casting directors to keep her in mind still. So that gives me hope about her acting. I just hope we don’t have another miscast with the Bridgerton siblings - one is enough (no I’m not going to name them but IYKYK)

Other than that, Ruby fit Frannie’s vibe, age and looks better for me than Hannah does so I won’t comment on Hannah after this until I’ve seen her act as Frannie. I don’t have much to say on her right now and I honestly cannot judge until I’ve seen her act. That’s all I have to say about the casting news so only talk to me about Ruby’s Fran or Book Fran until S3 drops then I’ll revisit this. 

Thanks everyone for reading til here and for the anon for sending this ask, just be mindful of what we talk about regarding the kiddos!! They are still minors and should be protected!

Soft mornings

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 💤

Characters: Diluc, Kaeya, Tartaglia, Zhongli, Kamisato Ayato

Warning(s): None

Genre: Fluff

Notes: Since I don't know much about Kamisato Ayato, I'll be basing him of from what I think he'll act/be like so I hope this is decent.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 💤

❅ ᴅɪʟᴜᴄ

• Spending the morning with him feels like heaven. His raspy voice when he awkens, the warmth of his body thats pressing up against you and not to mention the soft smile he shows when he sees that your laying beside him and that your not an imagination.

• Trying to hold on to him as tight as you can so if he does try to get out of bed you can always tug him back in.

• Minutes of kisses, hugs and compliments here and there but it mostly ends up for hours.

• Watching Diluc prepare breakfast with a cat apron with his ruby hair tied up into a ponytail. You can't but to peek at him while setting of the table for the two of yous.

• Unfortunetly, he can't stay long and must head to his office to sign piles of paper. But before doing so he wraps his arms around you planting a kiss on your forehead then your lips before bidding you a 'goodbye' and 'take care'

"I would love to spend the morning with you but I'm busy love, I promise to not overwork myself but I can't assure that. Now take care, Love."

──────────── 〔✿〕────────────

❅ ᴋᴀᴇʏᴀ

• The opposite of Diluc, he's the one who normally wakes up early to get ready for his Favonius dutys but on slow and lazy mornings he refuses to let go of you and will sleep in for however long he likes.

• Lot's of kisses definitely, he'll shower your face and lips with kisses to the point where you'll have to beg for him to stop and to catch some air.

• Making pancakes while he hugs you from behind, nuzzling his face into the side of your neck with his warm breath tickling you. Might even give you some soft kisses on there to surprise you hehe.

• He helps you to clean the dishes after breakfast is finished before he goes to his knightly dutys for the day. Before leaving the front door, he keeps you in a hug for a while then kisses the inside of your palm while bidding a 'goodbye'.

"Now try not to miss me to much, dear. Haha, I promise to try and come back home early. Now stay safe while I'm gone, goodbye for now my beloved."

──────────── 〔✿〕────────────

❅ ᴛᴀʀᴛᴀɢʟɪᴀ

• Now he's very very clingy, his arms wrapped tightly around your waist with his legs over yours to prevent you from leaving the bed.

• Trying to escape from his grip is almost impossible. Even with the most tinyest of movement he cuddles you closer to his chest.

• He most likely goes to bed without no shirt so now you get a better view of his chest. Amyways, after hours of trying to persuade him to get out of bed he eventually does but he grumbles and whines every few seconds.

• You know he's always going to arrive home late at nigt so you always pack him some sort of lunch and snacks if he ever gets a break from work.

• Before leaving he gives you a bone- crushing hug and kisses all over your face saying that once he becomes strong enough he'll protect you with evey fiber of his being.

"I promise to protect you with everything I have once I have reached my goal. Now, you better promise those hugs when I get back okay?"

──────────── 〔✿〕────────────

❅ ᴢʜᴏɴɢʟɪ

• Zhongli sleeps on his back and is very stiff. So you tend to just lay your head on his chest and curl up into a ball.

• You love to hear his steady heart beat while sleeping, it gives you some type of relaxation to you where you don't have to worry about anything going on in the real world and rest.

• Now, Zhongli won't be the type to keep you in bed if you have somewhere to intend to since he wouldn't want to be late either for his job.

• Once you both find the energy to get up from bed, you help Zhongli with his hair like brushing it and doing the ponytail for him. In return, he makes your favourite tea or coffee and serves it to you with a plate of pancakes.

• After making sure he's ready, you bid him a goodbye with a kiss to his cheek. Now you've got him blushing with a little smile :)

"Don't stay up to late and wait for my arrival. I don't want you to wait for such a long time so promise me you'll sleep instead of waiting, my beloved."

──────────── 〔✿〕────────────

❅ ᴋᴀᴍɪꜱᴀᴛᴏ ᴀʏᴀᴛᴏ

• I feel like he's the type to not really cuddle in bed but he'll let you hold his hand and rest your head upon his chest.

• Since he has an important role within the Kamisato Clan, he usually tends to wake up really early and goes to do his daily things like signing some paperwork from the Shoganate's people, festivals and such.

• When getting out of bed he tries not to disturb you so you can sleep in more, he knows the deeds you have done to help Inazuma keep it's peace between the Raiden Shogun and its people.

• But, if you do find him getting out of bed feel free to follow him. You normally help him set up breakfast for the two Kamisato siblings and Thoma along with yourself.

"Don't mind me dear, I'm just going to get dressed for the day. Please sleep some more you deserve it for what you have done to help Inazuma. Now rest your eyes, Love."

Jaune At The Carnival part 2

Ruby: *Holding a cotton candy de size of a basketball* Carnivals are so much fun!

Yang: *Hugging a big stuffed animal* Weiss, do you like your first carnival so far?

Weiss: *Smiling* It is a pleasant experience.

The two sisters smile at that comment.

Blake:  *Looking away from the group* Pyrrha is at the kissing booth.

Yang: No way!

The rest of the team turn to see what Blake is talking about.

Yang: Wow, I didn't know Pyrrha liked that kind of thing.

Ruby: Same, and isn't she spending too much money on it?

Weiss: How indecent.

Blake: I'm a little curious to know who is the guy she's kissing for her to pay so much.

Yang: Me too, but Pyrrha is in the way.

Ruby: Wait! She is moving.

Pyrrha moves to the side to get another bag of lien off the floor.

Blake: is Jaune.

The girls went quiet

Meanwhile.

Neptune: *Coming out of the bathroom* I knew I shouldn't have had that burrito for lunch. Let's see how Jaune is doing. (Not many customers are arriving, maybe he is bored)

Neptune returns to the kissing booth and can see a long line of people waiting for a kiss.

Neptune: What's going on?!

Neptune recognizes some of the girls. Some of them are the hottest girls in all the kingdoms.

Neptune: (Team RWBY, the bunny from the CFVY team, Weiss's older sister, that weird read-haired girl, and that twintale short girl from the CEMN team. Why are they all here!?) *Look at the beginning of the line*

Pyrrha: *Stop making out with Jaune and giggles* I can’t get tired of this. *Put a hang on her bag to grab more lien but is empty* Dang it. Don’t move Jaune. I just need to withdraw more money and I'll be back. *Runs off to the nearest bank*

Jaune: *Red and on cloud nine* O-ok take your time. W-who is next?

Ruby: That would be-

Yang: *Gets in front* Me! Hello lover boy.

Ruby: Hey! I was first.

Yang: Sorry sis, you snooze, you lose.

The girls continue arguing while Neptune tries to understand what is happening.

Neptune: (No way! Jaune is getting them all! I need to do something) *walks over to the booth* Hi Jaune, thanks for warming up my seat. *Start pushing him out of the booth* (Sorry buddy, but I won't miss this chance to kiss these hot babe’s ) I can take it from here. *Then he sprinkles some mint in his mouth and with a smile he said* Ok, who's the next customer?

Yang/Ruby: *With disgust* Ugh/Eww

The rest of the girls realize that Jaune is no longer in the booth and they begin to leave the line until there is no one left in it.

Neptune: Wait! Where are you girls going?! Come back!

Extra:

Later that day.

A new Kissing booth was built and it was getting a lot of customers. Who had the idea? you ask yourself. This was done by none other than Nora Valkyria.

Nora: *Wearing a top hat and fake mustache * Come on ladies, the Kissing Booth is open to the public. With just $ 1 you can kiss our beloved JNPR team leader, tongue included.

Pyrrha: *Holding a cart full of money bags and wearing red lipstick on her lips* I'm back! Where is jaune?

Nora: That’s the spirit! Get in line! (I’m getting rich!)
