What the Sully Boys do when they find you crying

Neteyam, Lo’ak, Jake,

⚠️WARNING⚠️: crying, talks of injury

Pleas enjoy this garbage

….

Neteyam: Distraction

You’re along on the shoreline, crouched in the waves and poking at the sand. Fat tears are rolling down your cheeks as you repeatedly stab your finger into the soft wet sediment. Neteyam has been looking for you for about an hour now. You’d disappeared after dinner, visibly upset and oddly quiet. He was unfamiliar with the island still. He did not know the rocky alcoves or tide pools like he knew the forest. It’s no wonder you’d sought out solitude here. The lay of the land provided perfect little nooks and crannies to hide oneself and find some peace and quiet.

Neteyam does not speak as he approaches; making sure his footsteps are extra loud so as not to startle you. You hardly glance at him. He squat next to you and places a firm hand on the small of your back. He watches your finger jab and carve at the sand for a time. He doesn’t know what’s gotten under your skin and why you don’t want to tell him but he will wait. His fingers begin to trail up your spine.

The smells of salt and fish permeate the air. The waves lap haphazardly in their lazy dance against the shore. Wind is rustling through the fronds and trees. In the distance an ilu whistles to its rider.

“Do you want to go for a swim with me?” He finally looks at your, surveys you year stained face. “I’ve been wanting to practice diving and you’re better than me.”

You nod and straighten up. At least in the ocean he won’t see your tears. Neteyam loops his fingers through yours and begins to stomp through the oncoming waves. You squeeze his warm palm, feeling the scrape of his hard earned callouses.

Neteyam hasn’t known you for too long. Only just meeting you when his family arrived at the Metkayina’s doorstep. He’d caught your eager eyes studying him through the crowd of people gathering on the beach.

You lingered on the azure tint of his skin and the set of his eyes. While you’d known of the Na’vi you’d never met anyone from the jungles and forests. When it came time to teach the foreigners the way of water, you’d diligently set to helping Tsiyera.

The ocean rose up over your knees, salty water licking at your thighs. You school your lungs into sucking oxygen and your body dips forward. Neteyam dives in after you, limbs still a little unsure of the proper stroke. The sandy seabed brushes along your belly as you peel away from the shoreline. The sky is darkening but you can still get in a few dives.

Neteyam trails along by your side, struggling to match your speed. You peer over your shoulder and analyze his technique. You edge closer to him. Fingers and forearms touch occasionally.

You’d always thought he was boyishly cute but recently, his maturity has shown through. He’s more compassionate than you’d have thought and his dedication as a good friend has made you want him to mean something more.

Whether or not he feels the same way is unclear. But he doesn’t seem to mind being alone with. He did seek you out. Minutes ago he’d had his hand on your skin and you could still feel it’s phantom presence.

You’re still bothered. Wanting to cry, still crying. He can see in your downturned expression that you’re shaken. He shifts closer as subtly as he can manage. You slow down as a school of brightly scaled fish rush by. Neteyam’s knuckles brush against yours. He points to the surface. His face looking a little purple. He needs a breath.

The ascent is quick and before long your heads break the waves. Neteyam soaks up the oxygen and his skin returns to its normal shade of deep blue.

“Can I ask why you’re upset?” His arms swing through the water as he treads.

“Just… a little trouble at home. Don’t really wanna talk about it.”

Neteyam tilts his head kindly and nods. His hand catches yours mid tread and he yanks you closer. His arms wrap around you as you both sink. He nuzzled his nose into your cheek and plants a small kiss along the underlying bone.

When you lets you he’s kicking back to the surface so he can prepare for another dive.

“What was that supposed to mean?” You ask him.

“Haven’t you figured out already that I like you?”

“Oh-“ the thought was only a hope and a wish, nothing more than a fleeting longing. But you no longer feel like crying and Neteyam is already disappearing beneath the waves again.

Lo’ak: Confrontation

Your feet dip up and down with the roll of the water as your ilu coasts along the reef. You watch the stars glimmer in the sky. Their light so faint next to the reflection of Jupiter. The wind nips at you skin, skewing your angry tears all across the bridge of your nose and cheeks.

Tsiyera has been impeccably kind to you since you arrived. Helping you out with diving and swimming and other practices around the clan. The others, Aonung and Rotxo and even some of Tsiyera’s close friends, have been doing all they can to chase you out.

Your parents had been killed in the war with the humans. Trampled by the merciless machines and ruthless bastards. Neytiri had grown up alongside your mother, and was kind enough to assist Mo’at in raising you.

You and Lo’ak weren’t exactly best buds growing up. You fought all the time and his attitude always drove you crazy. But you’d become fond of each other in recent years. He talked your ear off the whole way to the Metkayina islands, venting all of his frustrations about his family and the move.

You still bickered on occasion and Lo’ak often said stupid things he didn’t mean. But now he’s made the effort to actually apologize. It’s because he likes you, or so Neteyam says.

The sound of an ilu breaking the surface a feet feet behind you disrupts your brooding. You smear away the tears and straighten up. When you turn to meet the intruder, Lo’ak beams.

“Thought I’d never find you! We’re just about to eat, you should come joi-have you been crying?” Lo’ak’s head tilts to the side as he glances over your face.

No sense in hiding it. Better to change the subject. So you nod, “Let’s go get dinner.”

“Wait,” Lo’ak scoots forward. You adjust the direction you ilu faces and dive. “Wait!”

Lo’ak, ungracefully, dips beneath the waves and trails along behind you. His ilu is faster and he gains ground quicker than you can run. His hand snags your elbow and jerks you upwards. Both ilus tilt to the sky and breach.

When you catch a breath you’re ready to chew him out. But the concern etched in his expression holds your tongue. He’s still clutching your elbow. “Why are you crying?”

“It’s nothing, Lo’ak. I swear.”

“If you’re out by yourself, crying, it can’t just be nothing.”

There’s something in his eyes that makes you wonder if Neteyam is right. Lo’ak brings you closer, grabbing onto your other arm. “You can’t tell me anything. I know I’m an ass sometimes but I don’t ever want you to be upset like this.”

“Just Aonung and his friends. Please don’t do anything stupid.”

“Someone has to stop them.”

“Just— won’t you stay with me for a while?”

Lo’ak freezes up. He wants to hear you ask again and if the situation were different he would tease you. But there are still tears threatening to spill down your sweet face. Killing the chief’s son can wait.

Your ilu squeals unhappily as Lo’ak pulls you closer. His arms wind around your shoulders and his forehead meets yours. His bright amber irises flicker left and right as he watches your reaction.

You reach for him, feeling the lean muscle of his torso under your arms as you leave his forehead and rest against his cheek. You can smell the salt in his hair from the hours in the water. The roughness of his palms against your back. His rapid heartbeat faint between the skins of your chests.

“Next time come to me first.” He whispers, squeezing your shoulders and pulling away. “This way justice can be dealt faster. Now let’s go before mom gets mad.”

Jake:

When you and Neytiri are assigned the job of educating Jake Sulley about the Na’vi, you aren’t happy. This dreamwalker is nothing but an imbecile that Neytiri should have shot when she found him.

But over the weeks of his company, you find the charm in his ruggedness. Jake is rough around the edges. It’s pretty obvious. But he likes to please. For him, learning your ways isn’t a mission anymore. It’s his purpose.

Not because he wants to see your people moved. But because he wants to see you happy. He watches your face light up whenever he gets something right. The smile that spreads across your face brings him some clarity.

Once he realizes he’s competing smitten, he decides he can’t hide it anymore. He needs to tell the clan about what’s coming.

You’re heartbroken to say the least. He lied to you. He’d been lying to you for months. The image of your eyes glazing over with tears is burned into the synapses of his brain. It nearly kills him when you turn away and run.

It’s one disaster after another. He’s kicked out and tied up. The home tree is burned. The people perish. And then it’s all over. He defeats the unites the clans and defeats the sky people. But it all happens so fast.

Your mind whirs. You crawl along the thick vines the link the floating mountains. Seeking a little refuge and peace of mind. An ikran screeches in the distance. You slip into the trees. The ikran call is louder, closer. There’s the familiar WHOOSH of strong wings beating against the air. Jake’s echoes through the foliage. The ikran lands on the vines, squawking and squealing as Jake dismounts.

You hardly been able to speak to Jake since the war. You’re just so jarred with everything and you don’t know what to do. You sought solitude through hunting, giving to your people whatever you brought back. Your ikran had been killed in the war, shot out of the sky.

You remember the fall. The winding swallowing you up as you careened towards the jungle. Another hunter had snagged you. The force of the catch dislocating your shoulders when the talons of the ikran closed around your arms. The pain felt through the bond still resonated in your nerves. You were forced out of the fight.

Looking at Jake now, as he turns to the thicket you’re hiding in, makes the memories come back. The tears come without warning. Choking your throat and stinging your skin.

Jake knows right where you are. He hears the sniffling and choking. His hearts breaks a little more. This is his fault. He’s turned your life upside down and he doesn’t know if he can ever make it right.

“Please, come out.” Jake finds a lump in his throat. “I—“

Can’t go on without you.

Can’t breathe without out you.

You emerge from the bushes, helplessly restraining tears. Jake takes you in his arms, squeezing you so tight.

“Come for a ride with me?” He knows now is not the time to try and smooth things over. You’re too hurt and he doesn’t want to dig. “Just for a bit.”

You bury your face in the crook of his neck. His voice rumbles against your cheek. You nod and allow him to pull you towards the ikran.

The ride is quiet, you sit behind him and rest on his shoulder. His heartbeat thunders in your ear, calming your own and the tears stop all on their own.

What Is and What Should Never Be

Authors note: Here is the long waited Sam Worthington fic <33. im very proud of this one, so enjoy my sexy hotties ♡

Warnings: nsfw 18+, minors dni, fem reader, fluff, a smidge of angst, Sam is very dilf daddy in this, pet names, gentle love

Synopsis:

"Y/n?" Sam's looking at you. Baby blues worn with worry and brows furrowed. He strokes his thumbs over your jaw, gently prying your lip from your teeth, "where'd you go, sweetheart?"

You search his eyes for a moment. Deciding whether or not to tell him the truth. To tell him you'd done specifically what he'd asked you not to do. Tell him you'd spent hours only earlier that day scrolling through comments and articles, searching for the worst one just to have it wrap around your brain for the rest of your life. Tell him you'd needed something to balance the ache.

You sift your hand through the thick tufts of roan, sighing into the cool air of your room.

"Know you're the only girl fr'me, right, hon?" Sam whispers from beneath you. You run your fingers along the bristles of his beard.

"Yes, I know." You whisper back, letting him kiss up the skin of your collar.

Can't help but think back to the articles you'd read earlier that day, 'Avatar star, Sam Worthington in LA with young nobody', 'who is she?', 'Is this start of Worthington's stardom decline?'

The words ring out in your mind as Sam presses kisses to your jaw, planting his chin to your chest when he realizes you're not quite all there anymore.

Your mind wanders to the comments you can recall, "surely they're just friends, he wouldn't date someone out of his league." "She doesn't deserve him like I do." "Praying they break up." "She's not as pretty as I had expect–"

"Y/n?"

Sam's looking up at you. You hadn't realized you'd dug your nails into the thick of his shoulder so tightly small crescents lay in the wake of your hand.

"Sorry," you whisper, "I don't know what's up with me."

He doesn't say anything for a moment. Mulling over his words before he settles on a gentle, "Everything okay, sweetheart?"

You shrug, letting yourself fall into his lap rather clumsily. "Guess m'just not in the mood," you pull your bottom lip between your teeth, pressing and tearing at the plush of it. "M'sorry."

"S'okay, baby," Sam rests his hand at the base of your neck, thumbing at your skin gently.

The pull and push of his hand on your neck sends a soothing warmth throughout your body, and you're suddenly reminded of the knavish comments once again. The words bleed and rot into your mind like a dead weed, infecting and throbbing and piercing your mind like a dying root and it—

"Y/n?" Sam's looking at you. Baby blues worn with worry and brows furrowed. He strokes his thumbs over your jaw, gently prying your lip from your teeth, "where'd you go, sweetheart?"

You search his eyes for a moment. Deciding whether or not to tell him the truth. To tell him you'd done specifically what he'd asked you not to do. Tell him you'd spent hours only earlier that day scrolling through comments and articles, searching for the worst one just to have it wrap around your brain for the rest of your life. Tell him you'd needed something to balance the ache.

"I–" the confession slips past your lips in a defeated sigh. The thick of it choking at the back of your throat with a sickly tease.

You tell him the truth, and he listens, nodding along to your broken and shattered words. And when your voice cracks and turns wet and you crumble in his arms, he holds you.

There's a long pause of silence, comforted by a rough hand soothing the top of your head and shoulders. You bite at your finger pad until it burns.

"Feel like they can hear me. Like they can see everything I do." You whisper, "I feel so alone."

You'd remembered what your parents, your friends had told you when you'd first told them you were dating Sam. The mixed reactions weigh heavy in your mind some nights.

"He's famous, y/n. You know how it is." "Just don't let the fame go to your head." "Well, it's not gonna be easy."

Sam running the back of his knuckles over your cheek softly brings you back to your room. Your room with your pink sheets and your movie posters. Your room with your flower vase full of lily's Sam had bought you and your vanity with white wood that's been chipping away.

"I don't wanna feel this way anymore." You speak into the cool air.

"I know, honey." Sam whispers, massaging his hand into your hip.

"Make me feel better," you whisper, "Please, just make me forget."

Sam stops his hand and doesn't say anything.

You let a few moments pass before sitting up, looking at him from over your shoulder. Your lashes are strung together with tears, and your cheeks are hot.

Sam watches you, carefully lifting his hand to run the pad of his thumb over the swell of your bottom lip.

"Can I kiss you?" He speaks softly.

"Please," you choke, crawling into his lap.

His hands wrap around your waist, squeezing at the plush of your ass and hips. He kisses up the bow of your chest, biting and nipping small marks into your soft skin.

"Sam." Chills rush over your skin.

"Yeah?"

"I want you to fuck me," you drop your head to the side, letting Sam kiss up the collum of your neck, "wanna forget everything n'just feel you. I don't want to think." You pull back to kiss him, "think for me."

You trail down the skin of his neck to his shoulder, biting at his freckled skin and leaving flushes of pink in your wake.

Sam adjusts beneath you, slipping his hand between your thighs to flick your clit before sliding two fingers into your tight cunt.

Your breath hitches at the stretch, and you let your head roll back, sighing into the chilled air. You find purchase in his shoulders, digging your freshly manicured nails into his skin, tracing the pads of your fingers over the indents from your teeth.

"What do you like about me?" Your voice wavers – somewhere in between lost and held. You can't calm down, yet you find solace in the violence rapt of his fingers curling against your gummy walls.

Sam groans into the soft of your breast, licking a stripe along chest to your collar.

"I like your eyes," he kisses your nipple, pulling it between his teeth gently, "I like your lips," he kisses your ribs, "I like your hair," his thumb circles your clit, "I like your voice–"

"Need you," you whimper, voice so soft he thinks it might crack and shatter in the frigid air of the room.

Sam nods, letting you straddle him as he sits on the foot of your bed. He guides you to take him in full, sinking onto his length as he holds you to him.

The stretch aches and you tip your head back at the pleasure, nearly slipping from Sam's grasp before he pulls you back. He cups your head to his shoulder, helping to guide your hips back and forth along his thick thighs.

"Feel so good," he whispers, planting sloppy kisses along the ridge of your shoulder.

You pant through wavered breaths into his neck, working to soothe at the bruising tip of his cock that presses at your cervix.

"You feel okay, sweetheart?" Sam pulls you back by the neck, forcing you to meet his eyes. The baby blues seeped into a much richer navy, pupils blown wide.

"Yes," you nod through a watery choke and he moves to tuck you into his shoulder again, "S'okay."

Sam nods, cupping your wrists in one hand to hold behind your back as he massages his grip on your waist. His fingers dig into the plush of your hips, leaving tender heat in their leave.

"Tell me what you need," he kisses the length of your jaw when you tip your head back again.

Shaking your head, you roll your hips upward to bask in the stretch of his veiny girth. You can feel him run along your walls in such a way that sends your lashes fluttering.

"Wanna cum," your voice is flat.

"Don't be a brat." Sam's tone deepens. He knows what you need, whether you'll tell him or not. Knows you need to be told what to do. Knows in the way you cower away at the thought, the thought of – "m'gonna let you try again."

You peak an eye open, looking him up and down before letting your eyes fall shut again.

"Wanna be told what to do forever," You admit, "I don't wanna think – don't want to think about the stupid articles and comments and things they – ah! – things they say."

"Then let me do the work." Sam nods to you, brows cinching before you're falling into his arms again, letting him rub gentle kissing touches into your sticky clit.

Your eyes roll at the pleasure, deliciously paired with the thrusting stretch of his length.

"Yeah, that's it." Sam coos, thighs flexing under you, "you're such a good girl, y'know that?" He kisses your jaw. You tighten around him, and he chuckles loosely, pressing his cheek into your own, "y'like that? Like being my good girl?"

You nod, "Yes, yes!" Your voice tapers into a hushed whimper.

"Y'gonna cum? Can feel you gettin' tight."

You nod again, biting into his shoulder with a cry when your release washes over you. Walls spasming around his cock.

When he cums, he twitches under you. Soft jolts that shake you alert to pull yourself off of him.

Sam falls to the bed beside you, the two of you panting into the cool air of your room.

"I love you." Sam calls to you, and you nod warmly. His knuckles trace over your cheek as he watches your eyes flutter shut. The fan sifts gently and clicks in the quiet. A car passes by.

You don't remember the sound of your own voice.

[teyamsgrl]

Hello, darling. To the female human reader, she is Jake's girlfriend. She realizes that jake is moving away from her, he behaves colder, he avoids her and when they sleep together he doesn't even hug her and when she tries to hug him he pushes her away. One day she confronts him and Jake tells her that he is in love with Neytiri or something. I hope you understand, english is not my first language. Thank you.

ANONNNNN i asked for angst and you gave it your all omg 😭 thank you for the request bby! i'm not entirely happy with how i wrote this but hopefully that's just me being in my own head 🫠

also why is sam worthington so FINE like wow the brain rot is real

all good things come to an end ✧ jake sully

°˖➴ warnings: fem human reader, scientist!reader, young!jake, human!jake, break up, just angsty tbh

you had first met jake years ago through his brother; you and tommy were both scientists and prepared to head to pandora soon to evolve your studies with dr. augustine. upon meeting jake you instantly fell in love, he was so humorous yet also a kind soul, something that you had craved your whole life. it wasn't long before you two became an item, spending every moment together. when tommy died you were both devastated in several ways, and you had wondered what would happen with tommy's avatar and the status of your anticipated trip to pandora. luckily, jake was easily convinced into taking over tommy's spot to fulfill the study. which brings you to today, 2154, in pandora. it was amazing to reunite with jake after cryo, and you were excited that he could now be apart of this with you.

it was another day and jake had just come back from his day in his avatar body, he seemed to have been spending more and more time in his avatar and out in the village. it didn't bother you, you figured he was just becoming fascinated and was pleased to have working legs again after such a long time. you smiled at him as he moved in your direction in his wheelchair, "hey, honey" you leaned down to kiss him and he turned his head, resulting in the kiss landing on his cheek. your smile faltered slightly, but nonetheless you shook it off to continue talking with him. "day good? see anything interesting out there?" you run your fingers through his hair as you await an answer, "yeah, good, was fun" he says before wheeling away to talk with norm. your heart felt as though it was being ripped apart slowly, slightly unsure of what jake's attitude was all about. you've seen his bad days, many of them, but he never denied your touch nor spoke to you so indifferently. this wasn't the first time he has done this since you've been in pandora, but you thought he was just adjusting, maybe feeling frustrated? you honestly felt like you were just making shit up to excuse how he was acting and make yourself feel better.

once you got into bed waiting for jake, your heart raced as you wondered if he would still be acting the same. your head was hurting as you pondered all the possible scenarios, and you just couldn't put a finger on what might be wrong. you watched as jake rolled into the room, shutting the door behind him and pulling up beside the bed. you heard him sigh before lifting himself into bed and slipping in the free space beside you. he simply pulled the blanket up over himself, not turning towards you or touching you or even uttering a short 'goodnight'. you hesitantly decided to wrap your arm around him from behind, hoping he would accept the touch. you suddenly felt as though you were walking on eggshells, wary of what might happen next. your arm snakes around him, and within seconds jake is nudging it away. you couldn't stop the tears that rolled down your cheeks, feeling utterly rejected by the man you loved most. what did you do wrong? did you say something to upset him? did he find someone else?

your eyes fluttered open to jake causing a bit of a ruckus in your room, changing his shirt hurriedly. he notices that your eyes are open and decides to speak to you for the first time in 10-12 hours, "hurry, i wanna get in early today". you audibly sigh and sit up, headache already present from the crying you did in the night and lack of sleep. "jake.." you whisper, dying to know what's been going on. "what's going on with you? you barely speak to me anymore and you don't even let me touch you. you are my boyfriend, you're supposed to be loving me and telling me if i've done something wrong. what is it? just tell me so i can get some fucking sleep at night..." you trail off and sniffle, throwing the blankets off of you and scooching to the edge of the bed to face him in his wheelchair. you scan his face as he doesn't say a word though he looks distraught. "tell me, please-" "i found someone else... i- i'm in love with neytiri, eytukan's daughter".

there it was. it stung. it stung so bad. you nod and look down to your lap, seeing the tears darken your light blue pyjama pants. "i didn't know how to tell you, and it just... happened. i never expected it to happen, but it did... i'm so sorry" he observes you with your head down, feeling horrible yet also feeling as though a weight has been lifted off of his shoulders. "you have been nothing but amazing to me; patient and loving and genuine, but my heart has chose someone else", you let out a quiet sob as you listen to his words, finally understanding. you start to remember how desperate he was to learn na'vi, how he started to hum a certain song chord you had never heard before, how he spoke about neytiri with such grace; it made sense. "i get it, jake. please just- please go.." you whimper, lazily gesturing your hand to the door. "i'm sorry..." he whispers before wheeling towards the door and exiting, leaving you on your own. your sobs become louder the second the door latches, head pounding. you had no idea what to do next, how could you work with jake around? with jake around talking about his new love, the one he chose over you. maybe all good things do come to an end, and maybe you'd just have to live with that fact.

Home Alone (18+)

Sam worthington x reader

disclaimer we need so much more Sam content on here it’s crazy

“Honey, please,” Sam groans and throws his head back as you grind harder on thigh. Your brows furrow and your mouth falls open in an “O” shape. Your arousal soaks through the leg of his sweatpants and you whimper.

“I- I’m almost done,” you speed up your pace, your bare heat rubbing against his warm leg. Sam holds your hips tightly, you know it’ll leave a mark. He bares his teeth and squeezes you.

“Fuckin’ love being alone with you,” he pushes you off of his leg and you whine in return, losing your orgasm. You desperately try to crawl back onto him. “Nah,” he grabs your body and manhandles you onto the bed, positioning himself on top of you.

“What are you doing?” you mewl and bounce on the bed, surprised at Sam’s roughness.

“On your back, spread ‘em,” he crosses his arms at the bottom of his shirt and pulls up, exposing himself to you. You nervously scoot back and place your head onto a pillow, your soaked cunt exposed to him. “Take the dress off,” he growls, fiddling with his belt buckle. His eyes never leave your body. You sigh and slip it off, unclasping your bra in the process. You throw all your clothes on the floor next to the bed, leaving yourself completely bare for him.

Your pussy grows wetter by the second. Sam positions himself on top of you, kissing your cheek. You wrap your arms around him, grabbing his shoulders. He grinds against your heat and you wrap your legs around his hips, desperate for more friction. He teases you, grazing his lips against your neck, then sucking on it.

“Sam, I’ll get a hickey,” you tap his shoulder a few times and look down at him. He doesn’t stop. “Babe, everyone’s gonna see it when they get home” you complain.

“Good,” he mutters. You whine as he reaches down and strokes his length, his tip kissing your entrance.

“Please,” you beg, your pussy clenching desperately. He grumbles before pushing the tip in. Your eyes widen and a sharp yelp comes out of your mouth. He stretches you out little by little, pushing himself into you further. Your back arches more with every inch. He groans and his breath hitches.

“Alright, honey?” his accent is thick and his voice is raspy with pleasure. You moan and squeeze your legs around his waist.

“Uh-huh,” your voice quivers in arousal. A knot forms in your stomach and your heat pulsates around his girth, making him shudder. He thrusts into you, speeding up the pace to chase his climax. Your eyes clench shut as you whimper into the crook of Sam’s neck as he fucks you into the mattress. The room fills with the sound of moaning, skin slapping, and squelching. He grunts and places his hands on your thighs, holding your cunt in place.

“Baby, I’m gonna cum-“ his face falls down onto yours, kissing you deeply. You just hum underneath his lips in response. His warm cock throbs inside of you, pre-cum squirting towards your cervix. You gasp at the sensation. Sam squeezes your thighs harder, his grunts turning into whimpers as he grows closer to his orgasm. You pull away from his kiss.

“Ah- I- hmph!” you bite your lip, trying to suppress your noises.

“Don’t bite too hard, you’ll draw blood,” he teases. Your cheeks grow hot and red. You squeal, flustered. “I wanna hear your pretty little sounds,” he exhales. You take your teeth off of your lip, letting your mouth fall open.

“Sam!” you mewl as your orgasm washes over you, an overwhelming feeling taking over your pussy. Your heat contracts and clenches, and you squeeze Sam tight, your body writhing with pleasure. He growls and his head drops down into the crook of your neck, his arms trembling to keep himself from collapsing on you. His warm seed pours out into you, and you feel his heartbeat while he tries to catch his breath.

Your hands stroke his back lovingly and you hold him tight, letting him relax his weight into your body. You two cuddle, his head tucked into your neck. You sigh, moving your hands to his hair to play with it.

“Love you,” you whisper. He squirms above you, trying to get himself somehow closer to you.

“Did so good for me, always feels so good,” he mutters, kissing your neck more.

SRRY THIS WAS RLLY BAD 🙄

[alwayscryingoverdannyb]

bruh. I just left the movies and I thought about this post I reblogged just today.

just when I thought no movie can draw me in anymore, in swoops kevin costner and saves the day!!

I saw Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 and I admit I’m 100% core target audience for this. I love films set in that period in the wild west, long stories with suspenseful dialogue and not knowing what’s gonna happen next… it was just everything I wanted it to be. It grabbed my full attention immediately and didn’t let go for 3 hours.

I’m really glad Chapter 2 is being released just a couple months after Chapter 1. It’s long enough for you to absorb it and process your feelings but it’s not too long so that you forget what happened.

(Also, I was ready for Sam Worthington to play a bad guy but he was so adorable and I was just 🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰 he was a cherry on top of an already pretty awesome cake I’ll tell you that. I love him so much he’s one of my favorite actors.)

Today was shitty and felt so so long.. (my bff had a birthday from hell and my mom lost my job rather abruptly and unceremoniously….) I’m glad I could end it with such an uplifting experience.

[sulieykte]

LYS BB i love you so much and i’m so sad that you aren’t having the best day :( so i’m spamming you with sam hehehe 🥰 starting off strong with wet sam💞💓

dani baby you’re a real on for this, you know how much I love him all wet

The Mosley Review: Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1

Before Star Wars, before Marvel, DC or any type of superheroes, the true back bone of cinema was born in the wild west. No other genre has had the most influence and variety of stories based on fact, fiction and sometimes folktales. The majority of you would say that the Western film genre has been dead for years and you'd be right. Yeah, we occasionally get a film that's an modern day original story, a remake or biopic about the legendary gunslingers and lawmen of past, but those films are so far and between. Nowadays, they're mostly straight to on demand. Some films and shows like Deadwood, The Harder They Fall, Hell or High Water, Godless and recently the Yellowstone franchise have re-invigorated the genre. It brought a smile to my face to actually walk into a theatre and sit down knowing I'm about to see a Western on the big screen again and this film did not disappoint. What makes this film unique is that it feature at least 4 different types of classic stories that all have a similar destination. Something like this you would see in a long running TV series and to witness it in on the big screen is truly special.

This cast features just about every current and veteran actor that has ever been in or associated with a western. For that, I'll focus on the standouts from here on in. Sienna Miller was truly fantastic and strong as the widowed mother, Frances Kittredge. The emotional journey of loss and the amount strength she carries for her daughter was encouraging to witness. Sam Worthington was honorable and upright as First Lt. Trent Gephardt. He commanded his screen time with ease and I loved the chemistry that was built between him and Frances. Michael Rooker is always great and as Sgt. Major Riordan, I liked his more tender nature. His Irish accent was a bit spotty at times, but he was so great that I could understand what he was trying to convey for the most part. Luke Wilson was great as the frontier caravan leader, Matthew Van Weyden. I loved his portrayal of the guy that was thrown the position as leader and the all the weight that comes with it. He led with respect, but didn't hesitate to stand up to a challenger amongst the group. Jena Malone was a firecracker that never fizzled out as Ellen/Lucy. From the moment she was on screen, she gets your attention and her protective fury is felt. Jon Beavers was great and scary as the Junior Sykes. His determination and towering presence was intimidating and welcomed. His younger brother Caleb was wild and menacing as Jamie Campbell Bower brings the character to life. His devilish smile and petulant violent nature was fun to watch and brought great tension in one particular stand off. Kevin Costner was excellent as the quiet hero with a possible bloody past, Hayes Ellison. I always love when a hero is wanting peace and somehow gets pulled back into trouble and has to always look over his shoulder. Kevin did that expertly and his chemistry with the flirtatious and trouble seeking Marigold, played wonderfully by Abbey Lee, was cute at times. Owen Crow Shoe was great as the young and war mongering Pionsenay. He was the leader of the many indigenous raids on the American settlements and I liked his defiant nature. I sense we are about to get an interesting and sad story with him in the future.

The score by John Debney was haunting, emotional, fun and perfectly fit the era. What I loved the most is the visual representation of each territory. The Santa Fe territory was that amber and dry type of hot versus the cold, gray and cold bluish tone of the Wyoming territory. Now if you're wondering if there's action in the film, there is and it is not glorious. What was brilliant about it is that the horrific nature of the attacks on settlers was brutal, unflinching and purposefully made you uncomfortable because you're watching families die. The cycle of vengeance is explored through the eyes of the young in this film and that was a great perspective. In the end, this film was a great set up for the following second chapter and I can't wait to see how it unfolds and how each story ends up in the titular location. Let me know what you thought of the film or my review in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

Avatar (2009)

As soon as Avatar became the highest-grossing film of all time, it became cool to trash it. While the movie may use familiar elements, you’ve never seen anything quite like it. Visually stunning and filled with rousing scenes, this is a groundbreaking achievement in special effects that's surprisingly memorable.

In 2154, humanity has reached Pandora, a moon in the Alpha Centauri star system. Unfortunately, the largest deposit of its valuable unobtainium is beneath the home of the Na’vi, the planet's 3m tall blue-skinned humanoids natives. After attempting to negotiate mining rights with them for years, the RDA (Resources Development Administration) has developed “avatars”, Na’vi-human hybrids that can be operated by their genetically-matched scientists. When his twin brother suddenly dies, Marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is sent to Pandora to take his place. Head researcher Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) doesn’t trust Jake to integrate with the native population. She’s right not to, as he's agreed to feed Colonel Miles Quaritch (Steven Lang) specific intel to take the Na’vi down if no agreement can be reached.

Even at the time, the story by writer-director James Cameron felt both familiar and on the nose. It couldn’t be food or a cure for some deadly disease that humans need from Pandora, it's “unobtainium”, which might as well be space gold. Of course, the Na’vi live in perfect harmony with nature and display no barbaric behavior of their own. That’s reserved for humans - more specifically, the military forces and their boss, Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi), a weiner introduced when he shoots a golf ball into a coffee cup. The moment Jake meets the beautiful Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), you know he’s going to abandon his original goals and fall in love with the Na’vi and their ways - how could he not?

It's easy to find ways the themes and plot points could’ve been handled with more finesse or originality but in the film’s defense, all of that doesn’t really matter. The fact is, you fall in love with Pandora as quickly as Jake does. When Colonel Quaritch shows how ruthless he is and how little he cares about the Na’vi, you hate him with a burning intensity. When the natives fight back, you cheer loudly. Maybe the film is manipulative in that Pandora is a beautiful place filled with beautiful creatures that are easy to fall in love with and the villain is made so evil his hatred allows him to survive the planet’s poisonous atmosphere far longer than it should. These also make the film easy to follow and memorable. I hadn’t seen Avatar since 2009 but I remembered nearly every beat of the story. Unconcerned with the plot, I was able to bask in the lush jungles of Pandora the way I was meant to. Well, not quite. Unfortunately, the film isn’t quite the same when viewed at home, and in 2D, but you can catch a glimpse of what it was like on the big screen at the time. You understand why it was a game-changer, why people looked at what was on-screen as a true escape from their mundane realities.

The topic of escape brings me to my other quasi-criticism. If Avatar is the highest-grossing movie of all time, why isn’t it part of the collective conversation? Why don’t we see people dressing up as the Na’vi on Halloween? Where are the toys? Where are the memes and gifs alongside the ones of Thanos snapping his fingers? The thing is, as much as the film is memorable, it’s also so removed from reality it almost doesn’t belong in normal conversations. Ultimately, the story is about a white soldier who can do things better than all of the aboriginal people he originally came to conquer. The story is a power fantasy on a scale we’ve largely moved away from in the last 10+ years. Watching Avatar doesn’t really teach you anything about the world or about yourself. Is that a bad thing? No, not if you want a true escape. In fact, it's exactly what you want if you're looking for the ultimate getaway, something that reminds you of nothing from the real world.

At one point, I think I’d like to dig into the character designs, the cutting-edge special effects used to bring the film to life, the performances (Steven Lang is particularly great), the worldbuilding, and other technical aspects that make Avatar a good film but I’ve talked a lot already and ultimately, what matters about a movie is how it makes you feel and how entertaining it is. At both of these, Avatar excels. Watching it, you feel exactly as the protagonist does. You hiss at the villain as he does, you cheer when he cheers and you’re as awestruck by the colors as he is. The film generates a strong emotional reaction from its audience and that’s the mark of a movie worth seeing. (On Blu-ray, December 11, 2022)
