#Send Personalised Greeting

[fictionalmenxyn]

Frat!rafe is the type… (NSFW and language)

Frat!rafe is the type to greet you with a dap up then kiss each knuckle to show your not a bro but his girl.

Frat!rafe is the type to keep his arm loosely around your shoulder or waist till either a guy he doesn’t know or doesn’t like gets close. Then he be gripping on to you for dear life!

Frat!rafe is the type to occasionally give you temple kisses or cheek kisses around his frat guys. But pecks on the lips around other guys. Thinking you can’t tell, but you most definitely can.

Frat!rafe is the type to hug you from behind if you’re finishing up in class or you’re both working on a project together. He’d try to get your attention while you work.

Frat!rafe is the type of show off that he’s only showing of to you. If you both play sports, best believe he’s trying his hardest to show you his skills. If he sees you watching, he’s definitely sending a wink your way or a funny yet cringy mouthing ‘call me’ and doing the phone gesture. Already knowing he’s got you.

Frat!rafe is the type to get to know your friends better, so he knows you through and through. If you’re a big person when it comes to friendships. Best believe frat!rafe is getting close to your friends and becoming their friends. Showing you he respects your friendships and your beliefs. Also showing he can be supportive on your opinions and what you want.

Frat!rafe is the type to listen to the gossip!! This guy lives for it. He definitely won’t show it. But only you can know he loves it. So your daily trips to the frat house, can also brokke gossip seshs! He’d make sure to have your favourite snacks. Favourite drink. Everything. Just so he can know what girl hooked up with what guy or who fought who.

Frat!rafe is the type to practically cradle you in his arms as he listens to how your day was. Or if you have random rants. He’s a good listener, only for you. If it was one of the boys. It’s in one ear, out the other. But for you? Talk all day, he’s got ears for you. He’d nod, occasionally brush strands of hair out of your face. Occasionally kissing your forehead. Add little comments or thoughts, sometimes questions. He was smart when it came to you. He knew you better than yourself. So he’d know when to ask questions, to keep you talking longer. He loved your voice and your thoughts.

Frat!rafe is the type to buy small gifts, knowing you didn’t do expensive (unless you do, then that’s a different story). He’d buy small trinkets or things that ‘reminded him of you’. Just an excuse to splash his cash on you. Even if it only costed five dollars. If you wanted a piece of clothing or something that you wanted but was over a ‘budget’ you had. Expect it at your sorority doorstep a week later. A personalised card on the inside. ‘Don’t even try to give me a lecture about buying you stuff, I wanted to, love you loads, baby. From RF <3’

Frat!rafe is the type to ask you if you’re okay halfway through and at the end of each ‘intimate’ sessions. ‘You alright? Didn’t go too rough on ya?’ ‘Sure? I know you like and shit, but I don’t wanna hurt you, baby…’

Frat!rafe is the type to change positions, let you finish in your favourite position. While he’ll finish in his. So neither of you could complain, but he thought it was sweet of him to be THAT thoughtful.

Frat!rafe is the type to make you finish the same amount of goals/points you scored if you play sports. Like if you scored three goals in soccer, best believe you’re having a good night.

Frat!rafe is the type to have the sloppiest yet downright best sex if he won a game in football. Just know you’re both having a good night if he wins. Just cause HE won the game, doesn’t mean you aren’t getting a treat either.

Frat!rafe is the type to give you a small peck on the lips after rough sex. Cause he feels a little bad sometimes after you ask to go harder. You asked, ok? So? He still will feel bad. Even if you enjoyed it. You’re his girl. He wants to make you feel good. Even if it’s rough. He’ll still treat you like the princess you are.

Frat!rafe is the type to take long showers with you. Both sexually and non. He just likes the warm water running over you both. He LOVES washing your hair. He loves when you use your small thumbs on his large back muscles. Groaning and loaning at the magic your fingertips hold.

Frat!rafe is the type to only come to you for medical help or massages. Go to the team’s medic? No. Go to the college’s physiotherapist? Hell no. Not when he’s got his girl training for those things. He’s her test subject. And he still benefits from it. So it’s a win-win.

Frat!rafe is the type to cuddle you. So much, it’s cute, but not funny to him. Like it’s his lifeline. Just got in his room? Get on the bed and lay there so he can lay on you. Staying the night? Cuddles. Watching movies? Cuddles. Standing there doing nothing? Cuddles from behind. This guy loves cuddles till the end of time. AND WONT ADMIT IT. EVEN IF ITS OBVIOUS.

Frat!rafe is the type to love his baby girl. Always and forever. He’ll show it in so many ways. Whatever way you want. He’ll show it. You’re his girl, his girl gets treated well. Very well..

livestream. (wlw, smut)

summary: you’re a popular cam!girl and ask your girlfriend, shin ryujin, to make a special appearance one evening.

warnings: dom!ryujin, cam!girl!reader, strap (reader receiving), praise & degradation generally used together, rough, masturbation, mommy kink.

word count: 1.6k

requested: yes! tysm for sending this in!!

you wave to the webcam as a sweet smile forms on your face, the livestream finally connecting like planned. as per your schedule, you went live from your spacious bedroom every wednesday, friday and sunday to give your viewers a personalised show.

“hi everyoneee!” you cheerfully greeted your viewers as you watched the comments roll in - some complimenting you, some asking how you are, but most asking what the plan was for tonights stream. amused with the engagement, you adjust yourself on your seat before parting your lips to respond.

“i actually have a surprise for today’s stream! i’m certain a lot of you will be very pleased.” a light giggle follows and your cheeks flush a pink shade just from the thought of the session to follow, knowing the secret was that your girlfriend was to join in on the fun.

you deeply inhale and exhale as the anticipation builds up inside you. this has been your little side job for multiple months now, but it’s still just as exciting knowing people were watching you get off as when you first started. it wasn't entirely about making money for you. after connecting with your viewers for a while, you proceeded with tonights stream, leaning back into your gaming chair with your legs spread wide and gently resting over the arms of it. your dominant hand trails down to your core and your fingers lightly touch your clit from over your black lace lingerie, tracing circles over it causing a soft moan to leave your lips. you increased pressure after a couple minutes due to your patience growing thin, feeling dizzy due to the pleasure. “ah fuck..” your pace quickened and you felt your pussy aching, but the sudden sound of the bedroom door opening made you freeze in your tracks. it was ryujin.

your girlfriend entered wearing her jet black sports bra and matching pants, her hair down and messy, which you secretly loved. after what felt like minutes of admiring her beauty your eyes locked in on the strap she was gripping onto. it wasn’t shocking to you since its been used before, but you just haven’t been fucked on camera with it up until now. but with the way you’re so worked up right now, you’re desperate for it to be inside you — desperate to be fucked completely senseless by ryujin for your hundreds of viewers.

“hi, baby..” ryujin spoke to you almost as low as a grown, smirking at you before turning to the webcam and waving at everyone. her face from her nose up was out of shot, but generally she's never afraid to show herself.

instinctively, your hand rests back over your clothed but sopping core causing you to whine softly. your girlfriend wasted no time adjusting the strap on herself perfectly, afterwards slipping her bra off over her head, as well as yours, and tossed them both to the ground without a single care.

“ryu, please…” you couldn’t stay still and ryujin found that cute. you’re always so eager for her. she leaned down towards you in the chair and firmly took your arm in her hand, silently leading you towards the bed where she ordered you to lay and you obliged.

“don’t worry, guys.” ryujin whispered to the viewers as she quickly pushed the chair out of view to reveal the bed behind it, the smirk visible on her lips.

after making her way back over to you, your girlfriend wraps her long, slender fingers around the strap and you immediately buck your hips up in desperation.

“pull your panties to the side, baby. let me see that pretty pussy.” her words made you whimper louder than you wanted to but you never moved faster, moving the material to the right only to reveal your slick-covered core. it glistened in the bedroom light and the cold air hitting it caused you to hiss, your legs spreading wider without giving it any thought.

“that’s it, good girl.” ryujin chuckled right before she spoke, two of her fingers moving down to catch your juices by your entrance. “how bad do you want it? you wanna be fucked like a slut, huh? tell me, baby."

in response you sat up a little, keeping yourself up by your elbows, your eyes eventually leaving the strap to set on ryujins lips. she quickly noticed this and bent down to meet you at your level, hungrily pressing her lips against yours, her tongue asking for entrance, which you obviously allow. your mind grew foggy with each second that passed, beginning to feel drunk off the way her soft lips moved against yours. the sudden feeling of ryujin's middle finger poking at your entrance made you pull away and lightly gasp, but the other woman wasn't having any of it. her lips crashed against yours once more as she slipped her finger into your wet pussy, not giving you much time to adjust before moving it in and out of you.

"i said tell me you want me. come on, you can do that, right? or is my baby finding it hard to think?" she muttered against your lips.

all you could do for now is moan out multiple "please"s and "need you"s in response, your girlfriend's pace quickening. it is true - you can't ever form a single thought in that dirty mind of yours when she has her way with you and that wasn't going to change for quite a while.

ryujin mumbled something under her breath as she felt your walls clench around her fingers, attentively watching how you wildly bucked up your hips in an attempt to feel her even deeper. she soon took her fingers out of you, which felt like torture in the moment, and she lifted them to her mouth to lick them completely clean.

"you taste so sweet, angel. you ready?" your girlfriend asked in a soft tone and you took no time to answer "yes". after taking the strap back in her hand, she pressed the tip against your slit, gently pushing the whole length into you. your back pressed against the bed like before and your arm moved up to cover your face, whining loudly to your embarrassment. ryujin adjusts herself above you, her eyes dark and full of lust now. she took your wrist in her hand and held it above your head, your free hand reaching down to rub light circles over your sensitive clit as she fucked into you. it started off fairly gentle but quickly became more rough and borderline animalistic, it starting to dawn on you that it wouldn't take you many minutes to come at this point.

your pornographic moans and gasps filled the room, ryujin moving at such an urgent pace you could barely handle it. your cheeks flushed a dark pink shade as you noticed the sound of your wetness, your walls compliantly sucking ryujin in.

"you're taking mommy so well, baby. such a good little whore for me, huh?" ryujin growled close to your ear, her breathing growing more ragged with every sharp thrust she made. she knew talking to you like this would send you over the edge. she never expects any coherent words in response, no, but she just loves watching you turn into a needy dumb mess for her.

your knuckles turned white as you gripped onto the bedsheets beneath you and your girlfriend. your back arched upwards to follow, a series of whimpers and moans escaping your lips that so desperately missed hers. "fuck- ryu... mommy, i can't!" you practically screamed out in pure pleasure as you neared your climax, ryujin letting out a low moan when she noticed the ring of your arousal forming at the base of the strap. you knew this would leave you sore for days but you couldn't care less.

"cum for me, fuck.. cum for mommy." your girlfriend practically slammed into you and the ceiling moved in your sight with every thrust, ryujin's breath catching as you began to tense up. your fingers on your swollen clit worked more aggressively now and you let out the most obscene moans possible, coming completely undone in an instant. your orgasm shuddered through your entire body and your eyes squeezed shut, ryujin making sure to fuck you nicely through it all. you couldn't think, couldn't comprehend anything. you hesitantly opened your eyes back up and took your fingers off of your sensitive clit once you came back down from your high, ryujin slowing down until she came to a total stop. involuntarily, your whole body twitched underneath her and you were aware if you tried to get up your legs would let you down. you were quite literally seeing stars.

your girlfriend patiently waited for you to come back to your senses before gently pulling the strap out of your pussy, the string of slick and cum still connecting the two. she flopped down beside you after pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead, deciding to lay down flat on her back. not for a single moment did her eyes leave yours, and it was evident in this moment that you both forgot you still had an audience.

"so good for me, baby. good job." ryujin's tone was somehow softer than before, however her next request caused a quiet whine to leave your lips. she deeply exhaled as she tapped just to the side of the strap base, licking her lips no more than two times.

"i wanna watch my baby girl ride me. don't worry, I'll hold you up." she teased - you could tell she was getting cocky but god, you loved it.

"I'm not done playing with you yet."

Christmas Markets

a/n: This one’s a little shorter than the first but I still hope you all enjoy it 🫶🏻 This was also scheduled so fingers crossed it posted on time

———————

Visiting a Christmas market with Mason is something I think about every year, walking around together with hot chocolates

whilst taking the time to look at all the various stalls and pop up shops, stopping every now and then to buy something or grab a bite to eat…

Maybe he even surprises you with it, like he knows you’ve wanted to go to one for ages since you didn’t get a chance to last year so he picks an evening that you’re both free and sets aside the time to take you

He gets home from training a couple of hours before you’re due to finish work and gets started on some house work that he knows you were planning on doing tonight, not wanting you to worry about still needing to do the chores when you get home and he’s waiting in the living room when you walk through the front door.

He doesn’t do anything extravagant to tell you where you’re going, instead just greeting you with a kiss and requesting that you go and get changed into some warm clothes. You do so without question, assuming that maybe you’re just taking Ace out for a walk like you do most evenings anyway, but then you get in the car, without Ace, and suddenly you’re not so sure.

You’re even more confused when he parks close to the city centre but the excitement takes over as soon as you turn the corner and realise where you’re going.

Going later in the evening as meant that the atmosphere is perfect. Twinkling lights cast a glow over the pathways and stools, the smell of cinnamon and mulled wine spills from the food stands and the crowds are a little quieter with it being later in the day, making it the perfect time to explore.

You walk hand in hand, stopping every couple of metres to look at the different products that the stalls are selling and you can’t help but pick up some dinner from one of the food ones, finding a bench to sit and have some food before getting some churros and a hot chocolate each to eat on the walk around the rest of the market.

We know Mason probably buys loads of little gifts and presents for his nieces and nephew, especially in the build up to Christmas, so when you pass a stand making personalised baubles he of course has to stop and get some made for them. He makes one for each of them, printing their names onto ones that match their different personalities, planning to send them over to Australia for Stacey’s kids and keep the others so that the girls can add them to the tree when they come up to visit for Christmas. You also get one personalised for the two of you to add to your tree in celebration of your first Christmas living together. The tree only went up a couple of days ago, but you’ve already brought multiple new decorations to add with it, and this one will definitely get its space front and centre.

You do a little more Christmas shopping, some jewellery for his mum and sister as well as a few other random pieces that you know people will like and it makes you so excited to get everything wrapped up ready to open with everyone on Christmas morning.

Maybe you even stop at a few stands that have games like ‘hook a duck’ set up, and Mason encourages you to keep going until you win a prize, happily paying for all your goes as well as his own until he finally wins you the giant teddy bear that you had you eye on. You feel a bit ridiculous as a grown adult going home with a giant teddy bear, but you love that you can take it home and keep it as a reminder of the night.

You even have a go on the ice skating rink, seeing if you’re still good from when you skated as a child, but you end up clinging the wall the whole session. Both of you are in fits of laughter as you struggle to even stay up right, only getting away from the wall during the last 5 minuets but it’s the thought that counts right?

You’d probably end up staying until the market closes with how much there is to see and do, neither of you checking your phones or allowing other distractions, just enjoying the quality time together before everyone comes up to Manchester to spend the Christmas period with you. It’s just the loveliest evening and one you’ll remember forever.

On the way home you might end up getting a cheeky McDonald’s if you’re still hungry (and you’re always craving chicken nuggets) and then you unpack all of the things you brought, adding your new bauble to the Christmas tree before running through your night time routines and heading to bed, cuddled up and content after a special evening.

Day 4 Concept tomorrow 🎄

[phannie-dreams]

here is the two stress induced dreams i had during exam season about dan and phil’s terrible influence tour that i can remember (there were more but can’t remember them):

the tour is tomorrow

during the dream it was randomly announced by dan and phil that the auckland, new zealand tour date had just been moved to tomorrow. oh okay! but what made it worse was that this announcement had come in around 8pm the day before the new date and that the show would start at 7am. like tomorrow 7am. meaning i had less than 12 hours to get myself from christchurch (the middle of the south island) to auckland (towards the top of the north island). hell. i was freaking out, trying to get flights that weren’t insanely expensive, trying to figure out accommodation. i was STRESSED. my ass was not missing this show. i couldn’t find any flights from christchurch to auckland but there were flights available from wellington to auckland. i had to drive four hours from christchurch to picton, hop on a ferry that would take ~4 hours to get to the bottom of the north island, and then take an 1.5 hour flight from wellington to auckland. i never made it though because i woke up but i was stressed. had to check my phone to make sure that the tour dates hadn’t actually moved.

$5,000 fine

this dream was all about meeting dan and phil! but it went so so horribly wrong! for some reason my friend and i were the only people who had gotten meet and greet tickets, meaning that we’d have a very personalised one on one experience with dan and phil. we had arrived at the theatre and been told that we needed to get ready to meet dan and phil as they’d be arriving soon. awesome! i went to the bathroom bc i needed to pee, while my friend went to the meet and greet space to wait for dnp. after i had peed i went to the meet and greet area and oh my god all the staff of the venue started YELLING at me

“you’re late, this isn’t acceptable”, “you’ve wasted the talents time”, ect, ect.

expect dan and phil had only just arrived themselves???

phil was defending me “no, no, it’s okay we’ve only just gotten here too.” but the staff were SO MEAN. i started crying and apologising profusely to dnp but they were super sweet and just told me to enjoy the show.

the show came and went, blanked it out bc i hadn’t actually experienced it yet obviously so it was just like a dream time skip. my friend and i went back to the hotel where suddenly i got an email from the venue??

they send me a $5,000 fine for wasting dan and phil’s time. i freaked out. i don’t have $5,000. tf was i meant to do???? i took money out of my savings or took a loan or something and paid it bc i was so scared about my credit score being affected (lmao). for some reason though i also had dan and phil on snapchat??? in like a snapchat group chat??? so i started texting them being like “hello???? what the fuck guys???” and it was so unserious bc their bitmojis just kept popping up and down as i was typing. according to dan it was a scam and there was nothing he could do about it, but i had already paid so i just lost $5,000.

Another WIP Weekend is ahead of us!

Have I worked on different WIPs every weekend 😝 yes, yes I have. Am I going to start working on the same ones from now on? TBD

🏔 Eddie Bang- I can't reveal anything about this WIP until art claims have been completed, but still, I need to desperately work on it. MAKE ME WORK ON IT.

💼 Businessman Steve- This guy has been sitting in my drafts for too long. It's a 5 & 1 of times concierge Eddie has encountered Steve Harrington, the son of business mogul Richard Harrington. At first Eddie isn't sure of the young businessman who seems to have a sex and drug problem, but as he gets to know Steve through these few encounters, Eddie comes to find Steve is living a life he truly despises. Through these few encounters they become friends and eventually by the end fall in love.

🤘🏻 Role Reversal Steddie AU- @tinytalkingtina and I have been expanding our world of Trackstar!Eddie and Metalhead!Steve and can't wait to share with you all that we've created.

⛺️ Steddie Set Up- Steve and Eddie meet on a camping trip organised by the kids. Clueless to the fact that they've been set up they become fast friends and soon a couple.

You know the drill. In an ask send me the emojis of the fic(s) you'd like me to work on and post updates.

What exists of 💼 as of now, below the cut.

There's a commotion at the double doors of the hotel lobby, multiple men spilling in all at once. Tailored suits, expensive watches, and the numbers of their mistresses hardly hidden in their phones.

Every one of them looks like an asshole.

From where Eddie sits behind the reception desk doodling in his notebook, he inwardly sighs before standing and tugging at his stiff uniform to at least appear professional. Black slacks and a white button down that he's had to treat for Ketchup stains more times then he cares to count. It's the least personalised thing he owns and with the added fact of not being allowed to wear jewellery or have his hair down, he just feels like another cog in the machine.

God he hates his job.

"Good morning, Sir," Eddie says with feigned composure as one of the suit and tied assholes of this month's conference approaches the front desk. The guys sporting a full head of salt and peppered hair, thick and perfectly coiffed on the top of his head. Eyes haunting, smile sinister in a way that's much too menacing for Eddie's taste. Shark like in the way it makes Eddie feel pinned down like a hopeless piece of prey.

"Harrington, Richard Harrington," the man says with a thundering voice instead of a greeting, slapping his credit card and ID onto the marble countertop between them and turning his back to say something snappy to the man at his rear.

Harrington, Eddie thinks with distaste, remembering the name from his first day on shift. Richard, the pompous prick, was yelling at the poor woman training Eddie because she forgot to make sure his room came stocked with higher end liquor than their Luxury Suites usually did. Really, it was something so small it could have been handled with just a phone call down to the front desk. It's a rather vivid memory and Eddie's sure that at the time if that would have been suggested the man would've dropped dead of a heart attack.

Though really, would that have been so awful?

He's seen the man far too many times since. Monthly business conferences and meetings at the hotel keep the entirety of Harrington and Associates forever coming through the lobby doors.

Much to Eddie's dismay.

He sighs at the thought of the many more encounters to come, watching as the vein bulges from the side of Richard's head and he turns a rather grotesque shade of red. Eddie feels bad for the man Richard's snapping at. It's obvious not much has changed other than the jerk sporting a few more wrinkles and grey hairs.

With a hardly contained eye roll, Eddie types 'Harrington' into the system, the keyboard clicking under his fingertips before two separate bookings pop up on the screen. One for Richard and another for a Stephen.

Eddie hums in thought, as familiar as this gaggle of assholes are, he doesn't remember a Stephen from the past bookings.

Must be new. And related. Poor bastard, Eddie thinks absent-mindedly. He can't imagine working for this guy, let alone being his son, though, maybe this Stephen's no different.

He grimaces at the thought and hopes he doesn't have to meet the man if he is.

Quietly, as not to disrupt the hissing match happening in front of him, Eddie finishes checking Mr. Dick Harrington into the hotel. Sliding the room key, credit card and ID in the man's direction, Eddie watches as Richard does nothing but continue to berate the man before him. Something about scheduling or mergers or what the fuck ever that Eddie really doesn't have the time or energy to give even a single shit about.

From the edge of the crowd of assholes a young man steps in to grab the cards and quite frankly Eddie couldn't give two shits if this guy's helping or stealing from the rich bastard. Though by the near matching formal attire and the way no one bats an eye, he supposes he at least works for the guy.

Or…

“Steve Harrington,” the young, startlingly beautiful man says as he picks up his apparent father's ID and replaces it with his own on the marble countertop.

There's a cute twist to his lip when he talks and Eddie already hates himself for staring, but how can he not?

This is Richard's son?

No

No

Mr. Tall Tan and Beautiful cannot have come from that.

But the matching square of their jaws, tilt to their cheeks and hazel of their eyes begs to differ.

Fucking hell.

He's probably just as much of a prick.

The pretty ones always are.

The straight ones too.

Chewing on the inside of his cheek, willing his apparent blush to go down Eddie nods once and selects the only obvious choice of name in the booking system.

Stephen Harrington.

He can feel the man's eyes boring into him as he's typing, searing almost in their stare, so much so Eddie wonders if he has something on his face or if the guy just has zero social skills.

Chancing a glance up his suspicions are proven right and Steve doesn't so much as move, his eyes not meeting Eddie's but staring a little lower.

Eddie swallows, the judgement feeling heavy as he pulls the collar of his shirt higher, making sure there's no evidence of ink or any other bad decisions peeking out from the white buttoned around his neck.

It wouldn't be the first time some business asshole had something to say about his tattoos or the occasional hickey concealer failed to hide.

“605,” Eddie says almost mechanically after placing Steve's room key between them, his voice finally drawing the man's eye away from his throat.

Steve coughs into his fist, nods and grabs his and his fathers remaining cards and room keys but he doesn't leave. Navy blue suit and eyes Eddie thinks will take him weeks to forget, Steve remains standing before him, chewing on his bottom lip until he… he does a quick once over of Eddie. Top to bottom. Head to tail. Hazel eyes scanning, judging, making Eddie's skin feel like it's on fire for completely other reasons.

Then without a second's notice he looks from side to side rather hastily and leans into Eddie's space across the marble countertop, the sound of his elbow meeting the surface between them, a dull thud.

He smells like the pine of a forest floor and the musk of a man who's been nothing but busy and exhausted for weeks.

But God it's doing something to Eddie and he hates it.

Steve works his jaw in an odd way, rubbing at the muscle before he asks in a hushed tone, “There uh, there any clubs around here, for the, you know,” he lifts his hand to drop his wrist limply, fluttering his lashes as he continues, “variety?”

He's asking Eddie if there's any gay clubs around.

He's asking Eddie if there's any gay clubs around?

What the fuck?

Eddie bristles, already feeling his brows pull into a glare. He's making fun of him. These businessmen always do.

It's not like he's wearing a pride flag anywhere or skipping through the fucking halls, but somehow these pricks always seem to pick up on his preferences.

It's been years and only once has anyone been genuine in their inquiry.

So genuine in fact that Eddie found himself with his dick in the guy's mouth not more than thirty minutes later when he went out for his smoke break.

But a Harrington? Richard's son?

He thinks Hell will sooner freeze over.

Really if anything Eddie wants to tell the guy to fuck off, but he can't because professionalism.

So he does the next best thing.

If the guy's gonna be a judgy dick, well…

In a matter of seconds Eddie prints off a map of the city that has each and every gay bar starred and hands it to Steve with a very fake and falsely enthusiastic, “Enjoy you stay in the city Mr. Harrington, I hope you find what you're looking for.”

And then before he even has a chance to catch the guy's reaction, he's waving towards the crowd, calling out “next please” and moving to the other computer to check in the next asshole.

A Review of my time in Skyrim's Prisons (Featuring some followers): The Chill

This is the (much delayed due to work) eighth part of my Skyrim Prison Review series. In this post I explore The Chill, the only thing in Winterhold other than the College of Winterhold to hold any significance whatsoever as this jail contains much do discuss.

First arriving in the prison and we are greeted with what I can only assume to be a claustrophobe's worst nightmare. The guards had thrown the entire squad into a single tiny cell. Space to move around was effectively non-existent for us. I imagine a singular convict would fare better, but not by much. Also worth considering is our surroundings. We were tossed into a frozen cavern in the middle of nowhere and locked in a sharp metal box. Needless to say the Winterhold judiciary were making their attitudes to prison life clear. They wanted convicts to suffer.

Shuffling myself through the rag-tag squad to better observe the cell interior we see a single bed roll and lantern for illumination. This all aligns perfectly with how Winterhold want their prisoners to leave review scores of one Ancient Frost Atronach out of ten Ancient Frost Atronachs and not even risk stealing from Winterhold because of how badly they'd be treated. Needless to say there was a LOT of debate in the team as to who would receive bed roll privileges and who would have to huddle to each other for warmth. As can be expected from a squad comprised of a drunkard, a donkey, a recovering Skooma addict, a barely housetrained Reikling and a Skyrim Tumblr Sexy Man, yelling eventually evolved into its stage two form: Violence. Just before proper conflict could be instigated though I noticed something.

I still had my equipment on me. At no point did any of the authorities strip me of my gear and as such there would be no prisoner belongings chest in this prison. This can be interpreted in one of two ways. Either the guards that brought me here are largely incompetent and simply forgot to remove my belongings (which seems unlikely given the complete lack of a prisoner belonging chest) or the way I personally interpreted it which was "These guards have the biggest kahoonies in the entire country". They are SO confident in their defences that they don't even bother taking away prisoners' gear. They think even with it all convicts can't escape.

Now it is worth noting that not having their things stolen is nothing new for my companions. I am unsure as to why every hold lets them keep their gear while I lose mine, but I suspect that the answer is very complicated, personalised and more than likely involves Slaughterfish in some capacity. This aside, thanks to our shared equipment not being stolen, picking the adept lock on our cell before any blood was drawn proved simple.

Looking outside my cell I can plainly see where the confidence of the Winterhold Guard derives from. Instead of sending good men to freeze to death guarding pickpickets that also freeze to death, they hired out Frost Atronachs from the College nearby. This proved to be a very effective source of fear, muscle and worry in convicts, so much so that I temporarily deployed the Super Special Dragonborn Information Vision (S.S.DIV) that every Dragonborn has to keep track of my health, magicka and stamina (It's a dragonborn thing, look it up). The atronach was patrolling a small area with only three cells including ours and some barrels inside. Given how small I imagine the life expectancy for Chill inmates is thanks to the cold, I suppose it makes sense to not bother decorating. Once we had properly stepped outside of our cell, the Atronach got to work immediately and began an offensive on our group.

No points for guessing how it went.

A small incline to the right of the cell we were put into let out of the prison, where we were greeted with both a sharp realisation and, surprisingly, a welcome party.

Three additional Frost Atronachs ambushed us the second we stepped out of The Chill, as well as a lone Horker which appeared to be there just to feel included. This troublesome trio posed a triple threat to our squad and even managed a decent hit on me in the ensuing battle, though once again through the power of friendship, magic and Jordan we pulled through (at the cost of Teldryn's Flame Atronach).

It was following the defeat of the Atronachs that we came to a realisation. We were not in the city of Winterhold. We were not even CLOSE to the city of Winterhold. We were, as the less eloquently spoken would say, in the middle of fucking nowhere. We were dragged onto a tiny island in the middle of the ocean in freezing weather (heavy armour and all) by the guards and simply left to die. This goes beyond simple prisoner negligence or torture for military/political information. They were actively trying to kill us because I punched a single guardsman once and immediately surrendered. That is... a very commendable attitude. These guards are even more no-nonsense than the Windhelm Guards and this further supports my arguments about the aforementioned kahoonies.

In conclusion, this was easily the best prison I have seen so far. It fully commits to its cold attitude to prisoning with zero compromise, makes effective use of powerful Frost Atronachs to save on manpower, is incredibly cost efficient in terms of cell upkeep and manages to keep convicts out of the city streets better than any other hold capital by simply imprisoning them several miles away from the city itself in a sub-zero climate that would kill most escapees alone. This facility is beyond exceptional.

Final Score: Ten Ancient Frost Atronachs out of Ten Ancient Frost Atronachs

Thank you for reading this review. I hope that the conclusion to this saga arrives with a smaller gap than the last two did. This is especially important since I've saved by far the biggest for last.

"No one escapes Cidhna Mine"? Yeah right.

So, after some serious thought, I think I will commit myself to Patreon.

Some ideas I've had for it are:

Short Stories

Fairytale Retellings

Poetry

Personalised greeting card poetry in case you can't think of something to write for your family.

Short stories based on ideas readers would send to me.

While I'm considering this, please tell me (even if you have no plan to subscribe) what you would like to see on a writer's patreon.

Of course, I will still write fanfic for Tumblr but for copyright reasons, I wouldn't put it on patreon. This would be for my work.

Mastering WhatsApp Business Messaging: Essential Tips for Success

Adapting your messaging strategy to leverage WhatsApp effectively can transform your customer service and marketing efforts, making understanding the nuances of this tool crucial for business success.

Setting Up Your WhatsApp Business Profile

The first step towards harnessing Business Messages for WhatsApp is setting up your business profile. An optimised profile not only enhances your credibility but also provides essential information to customers at a glance.

Ensure your profile includes your business hours, location, and a succinct description of your company's offerings. This basic information sets the stage for customer interactions, giving them confidence that they are engaging with a reputable and accessible entity.

Crafting Effective Business Messages

The core of WhatsApp business messaging lies in communication that is clear, concise, and customer-focused. When crafting messages:

Be Concise

Customers appreciate quick and straightforward communication. Keep your messages brief yet informative enough to answer questions or provide necessary details without overwhelming the recipient.

Personalise Your Interactions

Use the customer’s name and refer to past interactions where applicable. Personalisation makes the customer feel valued and helps build a stronger connection.

Maintain Professionalism

While WhatsApp is a casual platform, maintaining a professional tone is crucial. Avoid slang and stick to polite, respectful language that reflects your brand’s voice.

Best Practices for Customer Interactions on WhatsApp

Effective customer interactions on WhatsApp require more than just sending messages. You need a strategy that encompasses responsiveness and expectation management:

Timely Responses

Quick replies are essential. Set up automated greetings or responses for times when you're not available to let customers know when they can expect a reply.

Manage Expectations

Clearly communicate what your customers can expect in terms of products, services, and response times. Managing expectations enhances trust while simultaneously clearing up misunderstandings.

Many businesses have effectively used WhatsApp to enhance their customer service and marketing efforts. For instance, a small boutique might use WhatsApp to send personalised updates about new collections to customers who have opted in, or a service provider might use the platform to send appointment reminders.

Final

Mastering WhatsApp business messaging is about staying current with technology and actively seeking new ways to engage with your customers. You can transform your customer communications and build deeper relationships by setting up a comprehensive business profile, crafting clear and personalised messages, and adhering to best practices in customer interactions. Integrating effective business messages for WhatsApp strategies will be key to communication success as businesses navigate the digital landscape. Embrace these practices, and watch your customer satisfaction and engagement soar.

Leave a Legacy - Not a Footprint- How to Gift with Purpose in a Fast-Paced World

In this fast-paced world, where consumers can buy, give, and dispose of on countless occasions, can we break this cycle by choosing gifts that create a positive impact on the world? Thoughtful and sustainable gifting celebrates not only the recipients but also the environment while supporting artisanship and creativity. 

At Kavi Poetry Art, we believe in creating meaningful, impactful gifts reflecting a conscious, lasting legacy instead of a moment. Here's how you can gift with purpose, and why our sustainable corporate gifts——are the way to begin.

Choose Gifts That Tell a Story

Giving sustainably means more than less waste: it means a gift imbued with meaning and intent and carrying a story. Every product at Kavi Poetry Art has a journey: from the upcycled materials we use to the artisans who craft them. For instance, have you taken a look at our bottle lamps? They're one of a kind, made right out of discarded glass bottles, turning waste into art. These lamps will not only brighten up your room but also converse with you about creativity and sustainability in a different way.

Invest in Gifts that Grow—Literally!

Gifts with a long life are a wonderful metaphor for relationships. Our seed paper cards, for example, are the perfect illustration of this. Made from biodegradable materials, they come embedded with seeds that can be planted into flowers, herbs, or small plants. Where a person would naturally discard the traditional greeting card, the recipient can plant it and watch it grow over time. A simple yet evocative reminder of your eco-friendly gesture.

Function with an Eco-Edge

In corporate gifting, perhaps the biggest issue is finding something that people actually use. Functional gifts with an eco-edge combine the best of both worlds. Our cork coasters and pen stands are functional, stylish, and good for the Earth. Cork is a renewable resource, known for its strength and natural beauty. It makes for an excellent choice between offices and homes, and our pen stands are made from upcycled materials. We merge style with purpose to create something your recipient will use every day.

Gift Beyond the Object—Create an Experience

But at its heart, a meaningful gift is not merely an object; it is an experience that continues to inspire. Envision sending a collaborative business partner or client a thoughtful selection from Kavi Poetry Art bottle lamp to light up the workplace, seed paper cards to inspire growth and cork coasters to personalise an ordinary coffee break. Each of those objects takes mundane moments and turns them into small, reflective experiences that linger.

Why Purposeful Gifting Is the Future

Purposeful gifts only stand out in a fast-paced world where everything is being instantly consumed and discarded. They help to make people slow down to reflect on choices and connect with the world around them on a deeper level. Sustainable, impactful upcycled gifts like Kavi Poetry Art honour recipients, but more than that honour the planet and an ever-growing shared vision of a more thoughtful, sustainable future.

Ready to Make a Meaningful Impact?

You're not just gifting an item when you choose a gift from Kavi Poetry Art. You are giving a story, a purpose, and a legacy. 

Gift Consciously, Choose Us.

Postcards: 7 Powerful Reasons to Choose Custom Designs for Maximum Impact

Postcards have been around for centuries, yet they remain one of the most effective ways to communicate a message. Whether for business promotions or personal greetings, custom-designed postcards have the potential to make a big impact. Here are seven reasons why you should choose custom postcards for your next project.

1. Create a Lasting Impression

First impressions matter, and a custom-designed postcard can help you make a lasting one. Here's why custom designs stand out:

Tailored to your audience: Custom postcards let you align your message with your target audience. You can use specific colours, fonts, and images that resonate with the reader.

Memorable designs: Unlike mass-produced postcards, unique designs make an instant impact. People are more likely to remember something that feels personal and thoughtful.

Custom postcards not only stand out but also reinforce your message, making it more likely to be remembered.

2. Showcase Your Brand’s Personality

Custom-designed postcards are an excellent way for businesses to showcase their unique brand personality. This is how they help:

Brand consistency: By incorporating your logo, colours, and fonts, custom postcards reinforce your brand’s identity.

Stand out from competitors: A postcard that reflects your brand's style differentiates you from competitors who use generic designs.

For personal messages, you can incorporate your own artwork or text, giving the postcard a more intimate touch that aligns with your personality.

3. Stand Out from the Crowd

In today’s digital world, physical mail is becoming a rarity. Custom postcards allow you to stand out:

Break through the digital noise: With so many emails and ads online, a physical postcard demands attention. People are more likely to pause and appreciate a postcard in their mailbox than a banner ad online.

Tangible and memorable: The physical nature of postcards makes them something people can keep. They’re not just thrown away like emails.

Custom designs cut through the clutter of digital marketing, creating a physical impression that lasts longer.

4. Enhance Engagement with Eye-Catching Designs

The design of your postcard plays a key role in engagement. Here’s why custom designs can increase interest:

Vibrant visuals: Bold colours and stunning graphics make your postcard more attractive, ensuring it catches the reader’s eye.

Call to action: A well-designed postcard can encourage readers to take action, such as visiting your website, signing up for a newsletter, or attending an event.

Custom postcards allow for creative freedom, meaning you can tailor your design to suit your goals, whether it’s increasing website traffic or boosting sales.

5. Cost-Effective Marketing Tool

When compared to other marketing channels, custom postcards are highly cost-effective. Here’s why:

Affordable production costs: Postcards are inexpensive to produce, even with custom designs.

Bulk printing options: You can reduce costs further by ordering in bulk, making postcards a budget-friendly option for marketing campaigns.

Custom postcards deliver great results without the hefty price tag, making them an ideal choice for small businesses and individuals on a budget.

6. Versatility for Every Occasion

Custom postcards are versatile and can be used for various purposes. Whether you need to:

Promote your business: Custom postcards can advertise new products, seasonal promotions, or special offers.

Send personalised greetings: For birthdays, holidays, or thank-you notes, you can design postcards that reflect your style.

Invite customers to events: Postcards are an excellent way to invite clients to grand openings, sales, or other events.

The flexibility of postcards allows you to create a design that suits any occasion, whether for business or personal use.

7. Easy Distribution

Postcards are straightforward to distribute and can be sent in various ways:

No envelopes needed: Unlike other direct mail, postcards don’t require envelopes, making them cheaper and quicker to send.

Flexible distribution methods: You can hand them out at events, send them through the mail, or leave them in high-traffic areas.

The ease of distribution ensures that your postcard reaches its intended recipient quickly, maximising your marketing impact.

How to Make the Most of Custom Postcards

To fully unlock the potential of your custom postcards, keep these best practices in mind:

Know Your Audience

The more you know about your target audience, the more effectively you can design a postcard that appeals to them. Understand their needs, preferences, and pain points to create a message that speaks directly to them.

Use High-Quality Images

Postcards are a visual medium, and the images you use should be high-quality and relevant to your message. A blurry image or a cheap-looking design can have the opposite effect of what you're aiming for.

Clear and Simple Call to Action

Every postcard should have a clear call to action. Whether you want the recipient to visit your website, call for more information, or take advantage of a special offer, make sure your message is direct and easy to follow.

Leverage Both Sides of the Postcard

Don’t be afraid to use both sides of the postcard to get your message across. The front can feature an eye-catching image or headline, while the back can detail your offer, event, or personalised message.

Track the Effectiveness

Custom postcards can be part of a broader marketing strategy. By adding a unique code, URL, or QR code to your postcards, you can track how effective they are in driving action. This data can help you refine future campaigns and improve results.
