I am upset and I think you were the one who had proof that Iain was going to come back for season 6 even though Fitz died. Do you have the same thing for season 7? Elizabeth's birthday post to Chloe made it sound like they were sending it to Iain because he wasn't there. And I saw someone on Twitter say it was a table read so if Iain wasn't there he then he wasn't in the episode. I don't want to even watch Season 6 if they are just going to kill or take him away again.
Hi Anon,
That sounds like me and what I had wasn’t super secret, his agency had congratulated him on Season 6 of Agents of Shield.
Unfortunately no, I don’t have anything like that for Season 7.
Look I know this hiatus has sucked. Believe me I am ready to tear my hair out, I miss the show, I miss the escape, I miss the asks, interviews, facebook lives from the cast, I miss the discussion and the excitement, and I miss all the new fics new episodes help spawn. It’s been a long year and now we are so close to the end and everyone is desperate for content and news.
Not helping at all has been the lock down on set. Season 6 really sucked and then Season 7 came along and was all hold my beer, so its worse.
But I would also like to point out that we only got TWO or THREE Confirmations of Iain ON SET for the entirety of Season 6 and the first one didn’t happen until Lil’s birthday which was in the 5-6 range of episodes.
Lil’s Birthday
When Chloe and Jeff were trying to get him to come out of his trailer
Singing happy Birthday to Mellanie...and that I lump with the second one.
Another massive difference from Season 6 and 7 is we’ve lost two of our biggest behind the scenes sources. Karen who was part of the crew moved to another show gave us some truly wonderful spoilers over the years. And Briana hasn’t filmed for Season 7 yet either. She gave us the glimpse at the kiss pic AKA that thing I keep telling myself is coming as well as other fun things behind the scenes.
I don’t know if this means Piper doesn’t make it out of Season 6, if I’m right about some early Season 7 Theories, or Piper is off on a side mission until she’s needed again.
I also feel that the cast and crew have gotten out of the habit of sharing as much as the used too. Having to get posts approved or take things down isn’t really any fun and takes away from spur of the moment fun posting. As a result they just don’t do it as much anymore.
It’s not just Iain who is being hidden, its everyone. I’ve been doing this for a long time now and never had so little goodies form set. An that includes what I thought was dark Framework Arc!
Natalia and Chloe continue to be the most active and we tend to know at least if they’ve been working every now and then. Yesterday was the first look at Nat in costume.
Clark: We have that one twitter thing from set that he did for something else. Other than that nothing.
Henry: Couple of pics with Chloe’s Dogs and one from lunch the other day.
Lil: One from her trailer and story mentioning late shooting.
Jeff: Pic in the make up trailer.
Ming: Nothing from set, she has talked about AOS in her whenever videos when she is jumping to another project.
Iain: Nothing, just he looked very Fitz at Wondercon.
A major thing to also keep in mind is Iain does not like to be on Social Media. He doesn’t like to be in pictures and stories. So his friends, the cast, and crew do respect that. It is really not uncommon not to see him for months on end....and we got a lot of Iain content at Wondercon.
I wish I had something to help ease anxious fans. I won’t lie there are days were I get frustrated too. But I don’t have it, I’m not sitting on anything. All I have is my faith and hope that he’s back and that if he was gone Lil and Jeff would not be as happy as she’s been.
I do ask that you guys remember I’m not super woman. I’ve had a very long week and am super run down physically and emotionally. I got a lot of panicked messages after Lil and Chloe’s posts today, this is just the one I chose to answer. So much it overwhelmed me for a bit I had to retreat and regroup myself. I simply can not make content appear where there is one and there is no use panicking over something we all have absolutely ZERO control over.
Hang tight eventually he and the others will pop back up. I am leaving my house tomorrow so there is that.

Losing My V Card
Telling Brendon All About It! ~ SUNDAY, DEC 23, 2018, 11:50 PM ~
Alright, I’m here!
Katherine
Ok! I’m here
So yesterday Natasha stayed the night and we made out and she gave me some great tips, etc.
We went to Cafe Zola and the Kerrytown shops today and got some gifts for our families
Katherine
She left at like 5:30 back to Ohio. My anxiety today was through the roof. We slept in the same bed last night and I was so anxious about today that I couldn’t sleep. So I took more melatonin than usual not realizing the mg was higher than normal so I took like 3x my normal amount and then got scared I was gonna die so Natasha held my hand all night??? But what ultimately happened was, I was so anxious and then resisting against this intense sleep dose. And ended up not sleeping at all.
Katherine
So today I was a miserable zombie in a horrible mood with Natasha and felt really bad about it and worried about tonight because I wasn’t in a good place to calm the fuck down
And I just secretly wanted Natasha to leave so that I could go home and calm down so I told her I wanted to go back to my place early and she left like an hour earlier than planned and I was able to calm down in bed and stuff
Katherine
Then I go out to my car to do my makeup at like 6. All the makeup that is usually in my car for whatever reason wasn’t there so I had to search my car to find it for 15 min and couldn’t find my main foundation. So I told Ruth I was running late. I was sooooo fucking mad at myself for being unprepared and late and shit per usual. So I floored it to Walgreens, bought makeup at 6:30, put it on, Floored it to Kerrytown and got there exactly at postponed time of 6:45 on the dot somehow.
Katherine
So it was just this absolute shit show right before, as usual, is the point I’m trying to make.
With me? Lol
Yup!
Katherine
I was just really fucking mad and hated myself because this happens all the time
So I text her when I’m walking in, she tells me where she’s sitting and what she’s wearing, I walk in and don’t see her. So I’m thinking I’m at the wrong Sweetwaters. But then I saw her sitting by the window at a high top table. And she. Was. GORGEOUS
Have I shown you a pic??
I believe so!
Katherine
She looked just like that, wearing this maroon pretty sweater and had her thick dark hair up in a messy bun on the top of her head. HER EYES were stunning. As beautiful or more beautiful than Rachel.
She’s super pretty!
Katherine
Yeah!
So I walk in v flustered because I’m late and shit and walk over, say hi and apologize for being late. She was super cool about it. She said I should go get some coffee. I come back and we just talk for about an hour and a half
Katherine
We talked about how I prefer cold drinks over hot, our families, our brothers, how we celebrate Christmas, her time living in northern Michigan and how much she hated it due to scarce civilization and zero queer community. We talked about Euchre and she did this thing where she asked if she could show me what her brother does during euchre by taking my hands and making them “milk a cow” over her hot tea lol
Katherine
And then she drank the tea.
Oh interesting lol
Katherine
Yeah lmao
And then at some point in the middle of a non-related conversation, she mentioned “lack of experience” and having “only done casual a few times” so I used that as an opportunity into the next segment of our convo
I asked her what she meant by that
And she basically told me that she’s relatively new to casual dating & encounters and has been “dancing with people” for about 3 months
Wasn’t sure what she meant but she said it’s a euphemism she likes to use
So imagine how a therapist has a full case load of clients
She explained she also has an active running list of regulars outside of work that she regularly hooks up with. And she calls it “dancing with people” as in, the dance of casually having sex with many people
Haha ok
Katherine
I joked saying I was glad she didn’t mean she wanted to go out dancing
Katherine
So she explained that something she does is talk to others about the others. Like all the people she’s sleeping with, she talks about the others to the others. I was just like ok whatever. I think she just meant she was gonna reference scenarios with her other people to talk to me about like examples of the kinds of stuff she does. Idk if that makes sense
Katherine
Maybe saying that it’s okay she’s talking about the others to me, like letting me know they’re aware of it. Idk.
So she started talking about some of the other people she’s been sleeping with and for how long, what those situations are like, very generally
Hang on give me a second
Alright
Katherine
Went blank for a sec
I think she went into all that because I asked her what casual dating/encounters looks like for her, and what she’s imagining/picturing for us
And she said something like “everyone is different but there has been a general/typical theme in how it tends to go”
Which is just, meet up, hang out, do something. Then go back to someone’s place
She said every encounter varies person to person
I asked her to elaborate on her lack of experience
That’s when she mentioned number of partners, and starting out nervous. She said every single person she’s “had a sex interview with” has been very nervous and expressed a good amount of anxiety
And described it as a common theme
So at that point I felt comfortable mentioning my anxiety
Katherine
I basically said, “Yeah I also share lack of experience. I have very very minimal experience. It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen anybody. This past year I have become more sure of myself and what I want, become more accepting of myself and self confident, whereas in the past my anxiety took the wheel. I feel ready for this and am very excited, but do have a small amount of anxiety”
Katherine
Something like that
Katherine
And I was very grateful because that led her into a conversation about how anxiety is normal, all humans have it. How she and every person she sleeps with has it. And how every single “interview” (she used that word jokingly) she’s had recently has involved the same exact expression of fears/anxiety/hesitancy.
Katherine
She emphasized that multiple times thereafter; that our conversation was a very common theme in all of her most recent meet ups
That many many people show up, express lack of experience, uncertainty with their ability to meet expectations, and a relatively high level of anxiety. And that really was valuable for me. It greatly reduced my nerves and discomfort.
And all the talk from friends about not bringing up my anxiety.
I asked her whether what she’s looking for is entirely non-emotion focused. And she said no. She said that’s not possible. She said you have to be attached a little bit in order to trust someone and feel safe.
Katherine
So yeah it was honestly the most ideal conversation and setup. I increasingly felt more and more comfortable. She was very very easy to talk to. And I felt comfortable opening up and expressing anxiety, not feeling like I had to hide it. I even mentioned varying advice from friends about what to share/disclose about my anxiety and she very much reassured me, repeatedly, that having anxiety was not a turn off for her.
Katherine
That it was completely fine, okay, acceptable, normal, common, expected, etc.
I asked her what I can expect and she asked me what my “yes please” and “no not at all” lists were.
Katherine
I hesitated and she said “It’s okay if you don’t know.” So I asked her for examples. She told me that on her yes please list were things like: biting, slapping, and all the basics including oral. Her no list included things like bondage, cutting, drawing blood, anal. But that she’ll give anal. So I talked about some of the things I love and the things I didn’t want.
Katherine
And then I asked her what her preference around hair was and she was woke af as you said, in not expecting or asking me to physically remove the hair on my body. So I felt very relieved.
Katherine
I talked to her about my experiences with Katie who was manipulative/abusive, Jamie who wasn’t the right match, Mike who nearly raped me drunk, and Rachel whose partner vetoed me. She had a knowledge bad in polyamory and she apologized for what happened to me, saying it wasn’t gone about appropriately. I mentioned things like tightness and fear of pain, asked for open communication, check ins, gentle fingering, mentally freezing, and mentioned body image self consciousness. She said everyone has it and that it’s okay, not a thing to worry about. I said “obviously you can tell my body type through my clothes and if that were a dealbreaker for you, we prob wouldn’t be this far into this conversation,” and she said exactly.
Katherine
knowledge base*
She told me “It’s not supposed to hurt, we don’t have to make it hurt, it will be okay,” etc.
Katherine
I just felt all my anxiety fade away. I couldn’t stop smiling and felt so good and so happy/excited. I felt like I could trust her. She also talked a lot about trauma and filling the void, the idea isolation and physical touch. She’s very much a social worker and I’m grateful for that.
Katherine
Towards the end she said “We don’t have to do all of this in one night. There are no rules here, no shoulds, no have-tos. We can go back to your place right after this if you’re comfortable doing that, we could also call it a night and plan for another night, options are endless.” I thought for a moment and told her I’m feeling comfortable and would like to move forward with this at my place She asked if I was sure, that we didn’t have to, etc. I told her yes I’m ready. I went to the bathroom. Texted you, Natasha, and Rachel. I collected my mental and emotional bearings. Came back to the table and mentioned “being ready but scared.” She said “it’s gonna he okay,” and that set me over the edge. Got me off right there in my pants. Put our coats on and walked out
Katherine
She followed me back to my place in our cars. I felt good the whole time like “it’s finally happening”
Katherine
Came into my place, casually talked on the way to my room about why thI couch was covered in plastic and why my bed was covered in boards but has clean sheets (Lilah has been pissing everywhere). She said she literally does not care what my room looks like. But I thought it was interesting that Natasha and I just so happened to spend hours and hours at the laundromat last night washing my sheets and making my bed and cleaning my room, not even knowing this was set to happen.
Katherine
And my roommate JUST SO HAPPENED to be out of town. It was meant to happen
Phone dying give me a sec
Katherine
Tell you more tomorrow, dozing
DEC 24, 2018, 9:35 AM
Wow!!! I’m so ready to hear the rest!!
This sounds great!
Katherine
Yeah!
DEC 24, 2018, 3:10 PM
Katherine
Oh I meant to also tell you, that I mentioned having never had sex. Like I was straight up but hesitant about it. And she just sorta shrugged like no big deal, not at all a turnoff. She said she had recently met with another person who had also never had sex. She saw nothing deficient in it whatsoever. So amazing
Katherine
I’m out shopping but will tell you more when I get home!
Katherine
I told her I enjoy dominance but to be more equal our first time. But I told her she could be a little dominant and talk down to me and stuff. I told her I was ok with her basically taking the lead with me. And she said that was fine, that she felt it had already been applied. So that was great too. It was all so ideal!
Katherine
implied**
MON 7:25 PM
How was the actual sex??
Katherine
On my way Home from target, I’ll tell u all about it I promise lol
MON 10:37 PM
Katherine
Ok I can message now lol. Hope you’re having an amazing time with your family I’m gonna just tell ya part II and you can respond whenever you want
Okkkkk so!
Katherine
She followed me back to my place. We talked on the way in. I went to the bathroom and got situated. My nerves were kicking in again but this time it was much more excitement and thrill and fun-type butterflies. I came out of the bathroom, mentioned I was gonna take Tylenol for a headache and then I glanced at her. She was laying in my bed on her side fully clothed, cute as hell, smiling at me.
Katherine
Took my breath away. I was so damn wet already My god. So I sorta blushed and went in my room, asked if we should have the lights on or off. She said hallway light was enough so we turned the lights off. I wasn’t sure what I should do so I asked her (that is basically how we went about the whole night step by step which I loved and deeply appreciated). I said, “Should I take off my clothes?” (I assumed the answer was no and that we’d get there but I was trying to figure out what to do immediately lol)
Katherine
So she said, “It’s ok, why don’t we just hang out like this here for a little?” She was so nice and could sense I was nervous so we took things real slow. She got close to me and sorta was sitting on the bed facing me, I was also sitting facing her. And then she sorta stretched out back onto her side smiling at me, so I did the same. So we were laying there on our sides fully clothed up close to each other. Whole time she’s saying, “Yeah, just like that, that ok? You doin okay?” etc.
Katherine
Felt very safe and comfortable
Katherine
So then she put her hand on my shoulder and kinda rested it there, kinda rubbing my shoulder and arms a little, asking if I’m doing ok, we got calm. I don’t remember what we were talking about but we were talking. And in a minute or so, I just sorta looked up and said “ok” and started nodding. And she’s like “yeah?” Maybe I said I was ready. Idk. It was all very natural. She was really really firm on getting solid yes’s from me before continuing because she knew I had been assaulted by a guy several years prior. So I’m like “yeah” and she asked if I wanted to go a step further and I nodded. She’s like “yes?” I’m like “yes” and then BOOM it was like a sex scene in grey’s anatomy LOL
Katherine
She pulled me in, dove right in, we started making out relatively hard. It was like, perfect timing perfect setup, and I was immediately good at it. Damn. She is a good kisser. I felt comfortable the whole time and used lots of tongue and all that. She was much better than Natasha lmao. I was just really loving every moment, felt like a learner soaking it all up. Like the tongue movements...we twirled tongues in circles over and over. Who knew that could be so exhilarating!
Katherine
She started kissing the side of my face, my forehead, all the way down my neck, my shoulder, she had her hand on the back of my neck. I was shocked by how IMMEDIATE the sensations were. Like what the fuck. I didn’t expect that stuff to feel SO GOOD
Katherine
I started kissing her face, down her neck, her shoulder, and put my hand on the back of her neck, and kinda gripping her hair. It smelled so good. Her hair is so THICK and luscious. Whole time she’s telling me it feels really good, saying “yeah” a lot and letting me know what she liked. I’m thinking “damn, this is either just how people communicate during lesbian sex or she actually thinks I’m really good” lol
Katherine
But she seemed to REALLY like what I was doing. Like at one point I put my hand on her back and she said “Yeah I like that. I like your hand on my back like that” so I liked being told what she liked
It was very affirming for me. Confidence boosting.
Katherine
Soon she says “I’d like to take this off you, if that’s okay.” I was wearing a red knit sweater. I was so excited for that moment for some reason. I wore it on purpose because of how smoothly it just falls right off my skin. So she slid it off me, and started kissing down my arms, etc.
Katherine
I said, “what about my shirt?” And she said “Would you like to take your shirt off?” And I said yes so she helped me with that too. And then I was just in my bra and pants. And she started kissing my chest
Katherine
I was kinda nervous to be exposed but she was like rubbing my stomach and stuff and didn’t seem repelled or anything and I was enjoying it so much so most those self conscious nerves were gone. By this point I’m completely outstretched. I asked her if she wanted me to take her shirt off and she said ok so we did. I kissed her all over, etc.
Katherine
Debating how detailed to go on this next part LMFAO
Breast play????? Is...... AMAZING. What the actual fuck. Who knew.
She started doing that to me with my bra still on and I was like already over the edge lmao.
We were still making out, kissing on the lips, etc, just a variety of all of it by now. And then she asks, “Do you want me to take this off?” pulling at my bra. And I said YES
AND THEN
Katherine
We took that off. And get this. By natural instinct I covered up. I literally covered my chest by kinda folding my arms in front of me, twisted over from back to side, and put my head downward. Like I didn’t even realize I did that. And she noticed. She was very good at noticing when I was less okay
Katherine
Because I’m REALLY REALLY embarrassed and ashamed of my breasts. Like really bad. Because when I got assaulted by Mike Johnson, the way he looked at them all confused when he realized they weren’t perky. The way he held them and sorta paused to think. The way he tried to get my nipples to come out even though I don’t have naturally erect nipples. I remember how badly I wanted to cry when he did all that. So I was really ashamed when my bra came off. I didn’t want her to see my chest. Isn’t that sad???
Katherine
And she kinda caught my eye contact when I looked down. And then I just laid on my side for a bit kissing her, etc. And we were facing each other side by side again. And she looks at me and she’s like, “You know. It’s helpful when I can see you.” I hadn’t even realized I’d done that, because I didn’t know what she meant. I’m like “Oh...haha, ok, wait, you mean like my face or the rest of my body?” And she said “Both.” She had paused. I don’t know how to explain it but it was like she saw a moment and caught it for me, and wasn’t gonna let me feel ashamed. It was like “let’s tackle this before we continue,” so we took a pause
Katherine
She’s like “It seemed like you were hiding a bit there,” and I just said yeah, and she was like “we are okay.” And I’m like ok. And she said ok? And I’m like ok. And then we moved on. I rolled back onto my back and let myself be exposed and closed my eyes. And she moved into my breasts and what happened after that was history lmao
Katherine
She starts feeling all around. I was blown away by how good it felt immediately. I remember that with Mike a little. Just felt really really good. I personally like hard rough play in this area and was planning to ask for that. And I pretty much did right away. She had told me she likes biting, both providing and receiving. I love receiving. So I basically just told her to do things and she did. It was all very exceptional. And then I really emphasized how badly I wanted her to hurt me. And she said “You also said you were scared about pain,” and I said “Yes but up here it’s ok.” So yeah I asked her to do the maximum. Pinch. Pull. Bite as hard as she can. Etc. Lots of pain lots of gain. I looooooved it. She asked me if I wanted her to SLAP me. I wasn’t sure about this. Thought about it. Said ok but not too hard. She did it once and i liked it so she did it maybe 2-3 more times. I know this is beyond detailed but I’m also gonna he copying and pasting all these messages into one consolidated blog entry on my private tumblr so yeah lol
Katherine
Gotta write it somewhere lol
Then she started rubbing a certain area and saying “you’re pretty dark here. You may bruise here,” and I said ok that was fine. But omfg. My boobs are SO SORE and bruised today. I’ve got hickies allllllllo over omgggg
I just bruise so easily in general, it’s insane
Katherine
So then I ask if she wants me to take her bra off. We do. She says, “Is this your first set of tits?” I’m like yeah. She goes “This is the first time you’ve ever played with a woman’s tits?” And I’m like yeah. And I’m pretty sure I said “I’m nervous” or “I’m scared” or something. And she said it was ok, “everything will be okay.” I said “what should I do?” And my voice was all fucking nervous and shit. And she said to just play with them. So I went for it the same way she did for me. And she again, affirmed everything I did just by her reaction/sounds but also by telling me.
Katherine
I was like terrified to even look at, touch, lick, or bite her nipples but I did and she loved it so it felt good knowing I was providing something to someone and she was enjoying it
Katherine
She said I was really good at it. Loved the biting. It went really well. At this point things took a turn (in a good way) because I asked her if I could straddle her other leg to get to the other side. And in doing so, my knee brushed against her down there, and the way my body was moving just from licking her up top was causing that to also happen down there so it was like a good segway into part II which i was so ready for. I think I asked her if we could take my pants off. So we did. She helped me. She brushed her hand up against me down there with my underwear still on and it almost sent me right over the edge. She’s like “Is this where you want me” and I couldn’t even talk. I nodded. But she wanted that yes. So I gave it to her. So she started feeling and everything and I told her I wanted her to take my underwear off. She asked if I was sure. Etc etc. and then she did. And moved right in. And I’m not gonna give you details but it was EXQUISITE. She started with her hands. Then moved into oral. Then used her hands again. It was just like. I had hit another planet.
Katherine
Like my mouth dropped open and I said “Holy moly” lmao
Katherine
The oral was just beyond imaginable. Idk if it’s like that for everyone but she knew exactly what she was doing it. Like, v skilled. And then I asked her to finger me. And that was the part during coffee where I expressed great fear and history of pain so she wasn’t sure and definitely asked me if I was sure. She said “you’ve talked about a lot of pain and tightness down here” and I said “yeah but I want you to try and just be gentle.” And she said “We are not required to do this. We don’t have to. We can do other things,” and I said “I know. But I want you to.” (I DID!!!) I told her it can be painful but a huge turn on for me when and if it’s not. So she said ok but said, “if anything hurts, I want you to tell me and I’ll stop.” And I said I will don’t worry
Katherine
So she worked on me a bit. Slow and gentle. I am not kidding when I tell you there wasn’t much pain. A little uncomfortable but she was able to get in there. I incrementally asked for 3 fingers. And she was able to go pretty deep without pain. There was SOME pain here and there. Some intolerable and I spoke up. But I wanted her to try it and we did. I liked it. Halfway through I was shaking from anxiety and cold and expressed that and she covered me up. It was super sweet. It almost felt even better all covered up in blankets and stuff
Katherine
We worked down there a damn ass long time
It was great
Lmfao @ holy moly!!!
Katherine
Then took her underwear off. I didn’t go down on her because she got very very tired lol. So I fingered her till she came. She fingered me more till I came. And then we kissed some more. And then we just laid there. It took over an hour till I came. And then it was really quick and fast and she was confused by how fast I’d orgasmed. I said “I can usually go again right after” and then literally masturbated in front of her and got off in like a minute. But it was still super fast and she was struck by that. Didn’t understand why my orgasm wasn’t longer. And honestly I’m not sure either. I told her after providing myself with millions of orgasms all my life, I sometimes wonder and feel as though I’ve lost my ability to have strong ones anymore. And she thought that was interesting. I mentioned “we’ll have to research it” lol and work on it.
Katherine
Lmaoooo glad you liked that
After I got off to myself she’s like “is that the first time you’ve ever got off in front of someone before?” And I said no, I orgasmed with Mike Johnson. Etc. But yeah
This is all so great so far, it sounds like you had a fabulous night!
Katherine
Then we just laid there and talked about my job lol. I showed her videos of my kids on the JCC tablet while we were still naked and panting which is probably wrong and messed up in numerous ways but WHATEVER lmao. I wanted her to see what I do for a living and she loved it. She said it seems I really love those kids and my job. Then she said she was tired and needed to sleep. I thanked her a ton and said I hope it was okay for her and she said I did a wonderful job. We both got dressed. I walked her to my door. We hugged. She kissed my forehead. And I pulled her in and kissed her hard on her lips. And then she left.
Katherine
She said when I get back in town to let her know and we’ll do it all again.
Basically I’m now on her “outside of work client list”
Because she has a list of people she regularly sleeps with and I’m basically in now. In the books. Lol
I’m so happy brendon
Haven’t stopped thinking about it all day. This morning I got off like 5 times in a row thinking about it and didn’t wanna leave my bed lol
Katherine
OH- there were 2 awkward moments. 1 was when I asked if she was comfortable fingering me anally and she said yes. She did okay but she said she had never done that before. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted and then I was mortified because I forgot that sometimes there’s a smell and so I didn’t say anything but I initiated we move onto something else. Like I was entirely clean back there but I completely forgot that sometimes that can happen. I didn’t utter a word about it but took the lead in moving back into something else lol
Katherine
And then the other awkward thing was an overwhelming need to pee as we moved closer to orgasm. She said that just meant I was close to orgasm. But I fucking know how an orgasm feels for me and this as very much a desperate need to pee so we stopped and I went to the bathroom and COULDNT PEE. She said it’s probably just anxiety and I think she was right. But then she said her hand got tired later and prob wouldn’t have been so tired had we just kept going rather than stopping and then starting over again lol
Katherine
But yeah that’s the end
As the JCC teachers sing at story time: “That’s the end of the story, that’s the end of the story, that’s the end of the store-eeeeeeeeee! It’s time to sing some songs!”
What song should we sing today brendon? If you’re happy and you know it? Ok! Here we go! If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands!!
I diiiiiiid it brendon!!!!!!!! I DID IT! I DID THE THING!
You really did do it!!! I’m so happy for you and also proud of you!
It sounds amazing!
And like you’re gonna do it again soon
I’m glad she was so patient and comfortable and kind
Katherine
Exactly!! Yesss me too!! Thank you Brendon!
All day today, extra energy in my step. Fucking grinning everywhere I go
I TOLD SUSAN
You’re confident!
Katherine
I know!!!
Sounds like it was everything you wanted and needed
Especially in your first time
Katherine
Yes like a dream
Yes
Katherine
And no relationship needed. Like it was the perfect amount of everything just as is.
Which is great
Katherine
I don’t really want a relationship right now
Exactly
Oh also, 2 things I forgot to include. Both awkward
At the very beginning of her going down on me. She spread my legs and I cramped
Like leg cramps on both sides
Katherine
Embarrassing because ya know. I’m fat and I cramp up and she had spread my legs as wide as possible. So I voiced it and she acted like it was no big deal, completely normal, asked if I wanted to prop them up with pillows so we did and she adjusted them and no more cramping. It was like she knew exactly what to do or something
Katherine
And then the other thing was, halfway through the whole thing she said, “Are you familiar with sub/dom BSDM at all?” And I said yes (just from so much porn watching over the years). And she’s like “Well, one thing that tends to be common in BDSM, is the phrase, ‘You are being a very good girl.’ Is that something you’d like me to say to you?” And I wasn’t sure.
Katherine
Like the majority of me didn’t really like the ring it had because it feels fake, scripted, not real. I’d rather her talk down to me and TELL me to be good. But I didn’t like the “good girl” thing and should have told her. I said we could try it so we did and yeah. I didn’t hate it but it wasn’t something I’d wanna do again. I like being told I’m doing good, or to be good. But I don’t like that good girl part.
Katherine
Like that I’m a child and she’s a parent or something. Idk. Didn’t feel right
But then, the thing is, I have my own specifics that a lot of people would probably be uncomfortable with in their own sex life
So we are all different and I get that.
But I have kinks that I’d LOVE to explore with her that are def different and more uncommon. I’m assuming she won’t want to for at least one of them.
Which is fine and completely understandable
And then a third thing that happened was she asked me to slap her breast. Which I wasn’t uncomfortable with or anything. Just nervous and embarrassed to do??? I did it once. She said I did really well. Idk. What are your thoughts on these last few things?

I did my makeup using only Kylie Cosmetics and one product stood out above the rest
http://fashion-trendin.com/i-did-my-makeup-using-only-kylie-cosmetics-and-one-product-stood-out-above-the-rest/
I did my makeup using only Kylie Cosmetics and one product stood out above the rest
Kylie Jenner is about to have the last laugh over haters, as she’s set to become a girl-boss billionaire at the age of 21, all thanks to Kylie Cosmetics and the lip kit that started it all.
Now a booming business of eyeshadows, highlighters, eyeliners and more, Kylie Cosmetics is dominating the beauty industry, despite not being available via any other retailer.
As a longtime follower, first-time trier, I put a full face of products to the test to see what’s worth shipping from the US…
KYLIE COSMETICS REVIEW:
Koko Kollection Face Palette, £31 As my second favourite Kardashian, I had to try out something from the Koko collection, in collaboration with Khloe. And I thought seeing as it contains a blush, bronzer and two highlighters, that it would make for a good investment pick. First thoughts sans packaging? That blush is PINK, the highlighters are drool-worthy and that bronzer is making me hungry for caramel.
I started by using the bronzer shade to contour, which had good pigment and a tiny shimmer to an otherwise satin finish for extra glow. It was a really good match for my complexion. Next was (gulp) the blush. I treaded lightly, but was pretty surprised to find it went on beautifully and wasn’t garish at all. Extremely blendable and a good amount of flush that doesn’t look fake. Who would’ve thought?
I used the lighter gold highlight to dust the tops of my cheekbones and a little went a really long way. The shimmer was punchy and powerful, so I thought I’d better save the gold for when I slap on some fake tan.
The Bronze Extended Palette Kyshadow, £35
This palette is just made to be photographed and I took my time staring at it before settling on three shades to create my look. An extremely difficult choice because the colours included are so wearable, and I’d say would look great on all skin tones. I selected (from top to bottom): Quartz, Citrine and Hematite.
And holy fricken frick, those swatch videos Kylie posts are not fabricated. Her eyeshadows are pigmented AF. Especially the matte shades. One dip with a brush and you’ve got enough to fill your eyeball, so have a clean blending brush at the ready. I started by applying Hematite in the crease, bringing it down to the waterline too. I then used Citrine, which is the most amazing shade of dusty terracotta, for the centre of the lid. And then finished with Quartz on the inner corner. I layered back over Quartz using the highlighter from the Koko Face Palette and we were on high-glow alert.
Black Kyliner, £7.70
I really like it when Kylie wears her Brown Kyliner, but at the risk of being top-to-toe beige, I decided to try out the Black.
One swipe and we were in business. It’s obvious that Kylie prides herself on pigment. My only gripe? I don’t think you can sharpen it, but I could be wrong.
87 times Kylie Jenner gave zero fashion f*cks (and we LOVED it!)
Candy K Lip Kit, £22.50
Here she is, the OG. I chose Candy K because it was one of the original launches, and also one of the most popular shades. After swatching on my wrist first, I was immediately impressed with the precision of the lip liner and the rich, delectable liquid lip colour. It dried down while I was taking a pic and when I went to remove it with a face wipe, it was extremely stubborn. I’d heard about the lip kits’ amazing staying power, but holy sh*t I had to scrub to get it off.
The lip liner is honestly one of the best I’ve used. No dragging of my delicate lips, it swipes on with absolute ease and this shade in particular really flatters my natural shape and colour.
Going in with the liquid lip next, I was not such a fan of the sweet, vanilla, marshmallow-like scent, but luckily it was fleeting. The applicator was soft, fit the lips well and it was easy to reach the inner corners.
Once the colour dried down, I was instantly obsessed with myself. Bible, this was the best lip colour I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing. Never have I had a matte that looks so smooth, for hours on end. No cracks, no wear, just nothing but block, pillowy colour. And it was comfortable. Hats off to you Kylie, you really are the lip kit queen.
FINAL VERDICT:
Overall, Kylie ain’t no fake. The girl knows how to make some pretty spectacular makeup products that I think are quite fairly priced for their quality. If I had to rank them, in terms of my personal favourites, the Lip Kit comes in first, eyeshadow palette second, face palette third and Kyliner fourth.

Day 12 - Typhoon Lagoon
TLDR: Short one today, quick breakfast then hit our first water park - Typhoon Lagoon. Lazy River, big tidal waves, play area and more lazy river. Sun to begin with, rain to finish. Hooters for dinner, amazing... and the food was good too.
Slept the latest we’ve ever slept, but today is going to be a slow day (and so not much to talk about really), so there was no rush to get up too early. Its been nearly two weeks but this was the first day we were visiting a water park and the kids were excited!
We missed getting to Gamestop yesterday for Patrick so once we were ready in our swimming stuff and nicked some extra towels from the pool, we headed there first. Robert picked up some Nintendo Switch games for his yet to be purchased console and me and Patrick picked up a bunch of other games including Horizon Zero Dawn & Injustice 2. Im gonna need another holiday just to play these! Popped into Walmart for some fruit and McDonalds for breakfast/lunch (yes they have an actual McDonalds IN Walmart).
No Typhoon today, well not yet at least...

So last time we were here two years ago it was absolutely pouring down, but not a drop of rain in sight today :D We quickly got into the park, found the lockers and dropped all our stuff off, with the exception of the Go Pro to take some photos. We all had these cool shoes on which allowed us to go in the water without having to take them off - these are pretty much essential for water parks for walking around so you dont burn your feet on the hot footpaths. We started off with something easy the lazy river, Gracie grabbed a free flotation-jacket to float around in which they buys now being able to swim this time around, passed. It was great just sitting, lying, floating along and the kids had an absolute whale of a time (whale, get it? :P #sorrynotsorry). I could really have stayed there all day, but after a few times around, we got out to see what else there was in the park.
Gracie's was a bit of a wuss and didnt want to go on the family rapids. So we hit the main pool instead. The focal point of this park is a HUUUUGE tidal wave which extends the full length of the pool every so often. After getting absolutely washed out on the first one, I suggested that the boys put some jackets on, just in case. This wave was strong - completely engulfing anyone and everyone and pushing you back several meters to boot. Boys being boys they kept wanting to go further and further into the pool, but with Ann sitting on the sidelines for a little bit and me holding Gracie I had to keep reeling them back in. Stopped to get a quick coffee and ice-cream for the kids, which does prove rather difficult when you cant carry anything including cash around with you! Grabbed a seat in the shade after the sun was proving too hot and let the kiddies run around in the play area for a while. Robert decided that spraying everyone including himself was a good idea, though I don’t think his red eyes agreed. Wee Gracie was just content playing by herself in her own wee imaginary world.

Clouds were looming, but we wanted another shot of the river again before we left (though the kids furiously objected to leave at all). Grace was getting more sure of herself in the water so she was taxing me and Ann about in the water while we sat on the rubber rings - it was too cute. Finally persuaded the kids out of the water and as we got in the car it started to rain - excellent timing and meant that we didn't get wet (except we were just out the pool, but you know what I mean).
Unlimited wings and really big... beers.
Home and a quick change before heading to Hooters for dinner. Some say that this is the most magical place on earth. Oh wait, that's Disney right? ;) The food is really good here and the do unlimited wings on a Wednesday so it was a no-brainer after the great day we had at the water park. In and seated and served by the lovely Yen. We ALL went for wings in varying degrees of hotness (the sauce not the waitresses), and Patrick, Ann and myself went for the unlimited option. They also served massive steins of beer and I never even got ID'ed this time (thanks Yen), which is even more funny because my dad did last week :P I kicked off with Triple Dog Dare which is a sauce made from ghost chilli pepper - I like spicy stuff. Ann & Patrick went a little milder and as the plates were finished we order more until we went through most of the sauces. I did prefer my first option but the others all settled for good old fashioned BBQ as their fav. After we were more than full, we paid the bill and I got another pic with some of the waitresses (thanks Ann, again), you just have to though, right? ;) Patrick asked what my favourite thing in Hooters was and Robert replied 'I bet its the wings', ummm yes that right son, it’s the wings...

A wee quick visit to the shopping outlets to pick up some trainers for Ann for tomorrow (Adidas Samba as it happens, remember those bad boys?), and then we headed home to sleep.
I asked Patrick about what his fun fact was today and he just said right give me a sec and then gave me a fact (like he was googling his brain, it was hilarious). Anyways here’s today golden nugget:
There have been two Presidents of the United States who once used to be peanut farmers.
Peanut farmers, who knew eh? Adios for another day!

Shardlight for iOS evaluation
New Post has been published on https://pressography.org/shardlight-for-ios-evaluation/
Shardlight for iOS evaluation
This assessment is the iOS port of 2016’s factor-and-click journey Shardlight by way of Wadjet Eye Video games (Gemini Rue, Primordia, the Blackwell series). In case you’ve already performed Shardlight on the Laptop and are seeking to play it again on the subway, I will summarize the evaluate for you and allow you to get to your manner: it is precisely the identical recreation, without achievements and with a fiddly detection container for dragging inventory objects.
IOS Evaluation
Ios Definition
For the ones of you who did not capture this sport last year, Shardlight is a post-apocalyptic adventure game with a sparkling take on the apocalypse. Sure, there were bombs. Sure, the comforts of society are long gone. Sure, a wealthy elegance emerged to hoard sources at the same time as keeping the common humans down. But the game performs with all of these tropes to inform a unique tale.
For starters, the apocalypse is very current; our protagonist Amy is in her early Twenties and she recalls the bombings. Additionally, radiation or large mutants aren’t the obstacles in humanity’s battle to live to tell the tale; the bombs poisoned the air, giving the unfortunate a deadly and contagious disorder referred to as “Inexperienced Lung.” The maximum hanging difference between this post-apocalyptic story and others with comparable plots is the manner that humanity has replied to the bombings: society is still intact, for the maximum part. people gather inside the markets. They barter meals rations for works of art. They examine books by way of the communal properly. humans are scrambling for survival, However, that is now not all they’re doing. it is a welcome trade from traditional post-apocalypse stories.
That isn’t to say that the sport would not revolve around excessive stakes; Amy has Inexperienced Lung and without normal vaccinations, she’ll die. Vaccine doses are uncommon and the underclass has to earn lottery tickets by using appearing a series of undesirable jobs for the Aristocracy. On such a lottery jobs, Amy unearths a loss of life guy who offers her a mysterious letter. This kicks off a chain of bold escapes, double and triple crosses and surprising revelations that could upend her world’s rather solid society.
The characters are easily this recreation’s strongest asset. Amy is an intriguing protagonist. She’s smart, courageous and nicely-favored the various market-dwellers. She isn’t always the brooding loner or damaged killer that generally populates this sort of story. The assisting solid is equally strong. Tiberius, the primary antagonist, a sinister bureaucrat who presses Amy into his service casts a putting parent in a powdered wig and a porcelain mask/fuel masks combo. He forces determined human beings do too risky jobs in an effort to stave off the killer ailment for a touch longer while he and his colleagues stay in relative luxurious. That being said, his motives for his depraved acts are extra than simply consolidating electricity and wealth; he absolutely believes he is operating for the best of each person and this faulty perception makes him all scarier. He wields absolute electricity while responding to fear and paranoia.
I discover myself caring deeply about Amy’s diverse pals and co-conspirators and demanding approximately their protection while Tiberius springs his trap. the sport comes by those connections sincerely, displaying you why you must root for these people as opposed to clearly telling you to accomplish that. I was completely invested in Amy’s journey, and whilst the sport gave me a climatic decision, I had a difficult time deciding on what might be great for my friends.
the game is handiest a year vintage, However, it has an intentionally low-resolution look, much like the style of the Lucasarts classic The Dig. In spite of the retro look, the places are excellent. The regions are distinct and sundry, telling a small tale about the arena. I was especially inspired with the aid of a church bisected by a jumbo jet, the ground zero of the bombing, and Tiberius’ opulent have a look at. The artwork style made it easy to spot interactive objects, and if it became ever doubtful I should tap and preserve at the background to display a list of hotspots.
I mainly preferred the man or woman pics. All the characters have illustrated full-face closeups when you speak with them. They have been static faces, without converting facial expressions or lip syncing, But they served to make a connection to the person that’d would not otherwise be possible due to the classic artwork fashion. Every person has a look that suits nicely with the setting, from the crotchety vintage woman residing on the outskirts of the town to the murderous jail guard. art and story apart, but, Shardlight is a recreation that revolves around its puzzles — and they’re now not particularly precise. I failed to discover any of them a laugh and resourceful. Most of the people were of the “discover an object, provide the object to someone else” variety, and on every occasion, the sport branched off from that system, the puzzles have become confounding and poorly-explained. I broadly speaking solved the sport via brute force, clicking on the entirety, handling the whole lot to each person, capturing the whole thing with the crossbow. Shardlight speedy became a chain of obstacles I had combat my manner via to get to the good stuff, rather than playing the sport on its very own merits.
Shardlight Wiki
I touched on it in advance, But it’s really worth repeating in greater element: The touch interface for this game is frustratingly erroneous. Clicking on an interactive object is straightforward; all the primary hotspots are precisely where you anticipate them to be. however, the hitbox for stock items used on hotspots can be quite lots everywhere. maximum of the time they’re up and notably to the left of their labels, But from time to time it’s down and to the left, or simply immediately up. There’s little or no consistency to in which you would discover the box, which simplest compounds the hassle. If you usually knew to offset your item drag a certain amount, you can compensate without hassle. As it stands, you have to do a pixel hunt, looking for the exact candy spot which will give up a letter or drop a lump of wooden into the oven. Hot spots on the top of the display screen precipitated me the most headache; touching too close to the pinnacle could cause the stock bar. This served to make me doubt what I idea was an apparent puzzle answer. Early on, I couldn’t inform if the trouble changed into with the interface or that the game sincerely left out incorrect solutions. Save yourself a few frustration: Shardlight will well know any item to hotspot (or item to object) interplay, even if to simply let you know “I don’t think that will do any properly.”
Ultimately, the whole lot surrounding the game (the putting, the artwork style, the characters, the plot) is so properly that the stupid puzzles and clumsy contact interactions infrequently depend on. it’s a strong journey game and a worthy distraction for your smartphone.
Vegetation Vs Zombies IOS
Permit me simply say that I truly like zombies. I simply, I doubt I would be pronouncing that if (and, let’s accept it, while) they upward thrust up and start seeking to munch on our juicy innards, However, for now, they are a-okay in my e-book. I by no means met a movie or sports zombie that I failed to like, and in spite of the truth that the sport was made for a phone, Flowers vs. Zombies for Apple’s iOS platform is one exceedingly addictive gambling revel in.
Flowers vs. Zombies is an ordinary tower protection game. Here, your house stands on one side of the display and the encroaching zombies are in the alternative, separated handiest by your lush Inexperienced garden. To hold the undead from waltzing in, you have to set up Plant life with a purpose to successfully combat the diverse enemy sorts that seem on the display.
It might sound a touch dull on paper, However, it’s in reality pretty a laugh. What an interesting mash-up of differing worlds: zombie apocalypse and gardening! The Plants at your disposal act nearly as characters themselves. They Every serve a differing motive (a few peashooters are like machine guns while a few Flowers take a seat idly ready to attain out and devour a close-by enemy) but the cartoonish layout offers them a personality that makes watching them get eaten by a more potent zombie almost sad. Also, gamers need to be on the lookout for drops of daylight which should be accrued so one can develop new Flowers for whilst a horde of remaining minute zombies comes shambling toward the house.
The first few stages are extra introductory, so fending off attacks isn’t always all that difficult. However, that simply makes a number of the later degrees all of the greater difficult when you locate yourself abruptly attacked through zombie pole-vaulters who can bounce your walnut blockades or antique newspaper-reader zombies who rush at your Plant life after they begin taking harm.
The environments provide a few excellent range, too. The movement begins in your lawn, But then shifts to midnight (when it is harder to accumulate sunlight), then to the outdoor with its pool and a unique set of water-based enemies, before finally completing on the roof, in which the angle of the playing field and shortage of soil make such things as corn at the cob catapults and flower pots a essential consideration. the entirety leads up to a rooftop boss fight pitting you against a virtually massive baddie.
the game is a blast. And the music that plays walks a pleasant line among amusing and slightly sinister. actually, if I listen to that song gambling in my house sooner or later, I will probably bob my head at the side of it whilst going to test all the windows for undead quarterbacks or zombies carrying visitors cones on their heads, much like in the game.
Sample Evaluation Comments
Vegetation vs. Zombies does nothing to sway me in opposition to the oncoming zombie apocalypse. If something, it is reassuring to recognize that after I need to shield myself in opposition to zombified quarterbacks and undead disco dancers, I can accomplish that from the relative safety of my home with little a number lily pads and massive walnuts.
