#Suuuuper British

[r0-boat]

I would like to request a Gordie x AFAB reader fic, where he flirts/seduces his easily flustered lover, then smut happens. Please~

Rough Edges

Gordie x afab!reader

Smut

" 'M home..." he calls out. When to hear that sweet voice that he had been waiting all day to hear, only for silence to him.

"Mm...babe?"

Taking off his shoes and putting them away neatly, Gordie searches for you. When he finally finds you in the kitchen

You too busy putting away clean dishes to notice him approach behind letting out a squeak jumping as you feel strong arms wrap around you. "H-hi Gordie, your home!" You say your voice slightly raising in a panic. You could already feel the heat rush to your cheeks when he presses your back against his chest and his head resting against the back of your neck.

"Didn't you hear me call for you, love~?" he asked His breath right up against your neck sending shivers up your spine.

"I-i didn't hear yo- EEP-!"

Gordie's hands gently grab onto your waist. Biting his lip, he practically grinds against your ass. " I wasn't too far from you... Were you zoning out? What was that pretty little head of yours thinking about?"

You could feel his smirk against you. His hands begin to sneak under your shirt, pulling it up just enough for his hands to slip inside—your body tenses when his breath shakes in your ear. You let out an embarrassed whimper, your entire face practically going red. Gordie's smirk widens into a grin. Your cute reactions make him want to tease you a little more. His voice gets husky is he firmly grabs your hips.

" The only thing you should be thinking about is me. You should know that or do I have to give you something to think about?"

Lifting you easily, he places you on the counter, making you face him. He frowns, he can't see that cute blushing face of yours when you're covering it with your arms like that. He squeezes your thighs fighting his hands forward till he reaches the waistband of your pants.

"let me see you, darling." he purred. Moving his hands from the fly of your pants from moment just to grab your arms and pull them down gently.

Your lips compress, your eyes widening squirming underneath his gaze has he slides his hands back underneath your pants.

That's mark remained on his face not taking his eyes off you as he slowly peels your pants down, taking in every inch of your reactions as you watched in anticipation. His eyes lighting up when he sees your pretty white lace underwear.

"All for me~?"

Gordie hummed, pinching the rim of your panties and running his fingers along the edge, playing with them before pulling them down. They did look great on you but ate much rather have it out of his way.

Grabbing a hold of your thighs he pulls you closer you let out a squeak when you feel his mouth on your thighs. His tongue licking the sensitive skin. You try hard not to close your legs when you feel his teeth graze against the skin.

After leaving his mark he leaves more wet kisses down your inner thighs until reaching your cunt.

With a smirk Gordie looks up at you resting your legs on his shoulders. With his hand now free he watches you jump and squirm when he presses his thumb against your clit, his fingers just barely gliding against you're opening his breath growing heavy his eyes have lit. His mouth those watering at your scent while his cock was throbbing in his pants.

"Gordie!" You whine hasn't even started and he's already teasing you.

"Ok, Ok, fine... You never let me have fun." Despite his rolling his eyes, he had a teasing smile on his face. Dipping in between your legs his hot breath against your clit left you wanting more and his fingers just barely gliding across the entrance of your wet cunt, as he thinks about how he should devour his meal.

His fingers leave your wetness replacing it with something else your velvet walls clinch as he continues working you open with his tongue. His thumb back on your clit pressing pinching and rubbing it in small circles your legs shake unable to find any place to brace yourself against how rough Gordie normally treats you your thighs now upon his shoulders squeeze around him.

Gordie moans in delight, feeling your thighs squishing his face and your hand holding, squeezing, tugging locks of his hair. His own hand dipping below his pants feeling the painful throb of his own need.

Swirling his tongue and sucking on your entrance occasionally rolling his tongue laughing at both your clit and pussy.

He tries to smother himself deeper, desperately wanting more of your pretty pussy, wanting more of your sweet juices on his tongue. His finger stop toying with your poor abused clit focusing on your cunt, slipping his fingers gently inside you.

Drenching his fingers in your slick, you are trembling before him, a sight to behold, not taking his eyes off you while he drives you closer and closer to coming on his tongue. As he eagerly waits to taste your sweet orgasm. With his fingers rubbing so deliciously against your spasming walls occasionally curling themselves into your sweet spot, you break. The hand wrapped around his now free wet cock speed up; he couldn't help but buck his hips into his hand as he tries to work himself and you. Your walls are clenching tighter around his fingers; you're close, so close you're going to cum on his tongue while he was touching himself, and the thought of that drove him crazy.

"G-Gordie! C-Cumming...f-fuck!"

Gordie groans, picking up the pace of his licking and sucking, eager to lick up every last drop of your sweet necter. His eyes rolling back when you cum on his tongue

"O-oh~ Baby... Taste so good..."

Waves of hot pleasure hit him hard and unrelenting as he buried his face in your pussy, muffling his moans while his seed spilled all over his hand.

Finally removing yourself from your wet cunt Gordie licks his lips his hard cock still throbbing in his hand

"mmh~ not done, I need more; won't you give me more?"

Fanatic Intervention Part 14!!!

Happy Birthday to regular reader and commenter @ritz-writes !! :D

Here's the sculpture mentioned in the fic: https://noma.org/collection/history-of-the-conquest/

You'll notice that the poll at the bottom isn't anything suuuuper important. There's just some plot things that I want to get running in the next section, so I'm gonna be writing it up and posting it tomorrow. But I promise you that it's still an important choice to make (also idk what to pick so that means you all get to pick lol ).

Okay! Here we go! Back to New Orleans with The Anti-Apocalypse Crew!

Beginning || Previous || Next

*************************

Now that you all were in the city, it only took Anathema the next morning to hone in on her signal. To Aziraphale's delight, it led you all to the sculpture garden at the New Orleans Museum of Art. To your delight, it led more specifically to a sculpture of a person riding a snail (to victory no doubt).

"I think this might be my favourite statue ever," You say aloud (because this author is assuming you would agree with her opinion). There is a person you don’t know standing in front of the statue. He gives a dissatisfied huff.

"It's called 'History of the Conquest,'" he tells you, despite not being asked, "The ever-slow and over-confident march of the entitled towards a future where they're in charge. Everyone else suffers while they promise glory and prosperity."

Your jaw drops open. This person looks like a 'surfer dude,' but is talking like someone who's spent most of their life in a cubicle changing 1s to 0s for 8 straight hours a day.

"WOW! That is BLEAK," is what finally comes out of your mouth. "Proper ray of sunshine, you are."

Okay, that sounded really British. You briefly wonder about the effect of spending so much time around Crowley and Aziraphale before Surfer Dude starts to laugh.

"I've seen a few things, human. Been 'round longer than you've been alive, will be long after you die. You're no more than a moth in my eyes."

"Wow," You can't help but repeat yourself, "Again, bleak." Also rude, but priorities.

"It is what it is," Surfer Dude replies. You shake your head and turn to Aziraphale and Crowley.

"You're up," You concede. You have no idea who this is, but he called you "human," and compared you to a moth. Whoever this person is, they’re probably the one Anathema’s had you looking for. He doesn’t look like Jesus, but maybe he will know where Jesus is. Either way, Anathema doesn’t get things wrong. If her work brought you to this person, then he’s the person you need to talk to.

That being said, whoever this is, he's the Ineffable Husbands' department and not yours. Sometimes you just gotta tap out and let the celestials handle their own kind. Now, this doesn't mean that you're not going to sit back and watch. Oh no, you want to see how this plays out.

"Can I have some popcorn?" You stage-whisper to Crowley as you pass him.

"Piss off," Crowley stage-whispers back. Despite his complaint, you notice a tiny Michael-Sheen smile on Aziraphale's face, and you return to Anathema, who looks surprised and is holding two small cartons of popcorn. You gratefully take one and have a seat on a convenient bench that is located conveniently within earshot. This is gonna be good.

"Hello," Aziraphale begins as he approaches, "I'm Aziraphale."

"Right," Surfer Dude says with a roll of his eyes, "The Angel of the Eastern Gate. I'm so honoured."

"Here I thought manners were important to angels," Crowley replies, sidling up next to Aziraphale. Surfer-Dude-Who-Is-Apparently-An-Angel takes in Crowley and raises an eyebrow.

"And here I thought demons didn't make a habit of hanging off angels' arms," Surfer Dude scoffs in in return.

Crowley snarls.

"Yes, well, each of us seems to be an anomaly in our own right," Aziraphale says with an appeasing smile, "This is Crowley. Might we have the pleasure of knowing your name?"

"No."

"Ah, right. Well, that is to your own discretion I suppose."

"Rude is what it is," sneers Crowley.

"Regardless, we've come to this garden with the guidance of our friend here, hoping to find, well, Jesus as it happens."

Surfer-Dude-Angel-Person throws his head back and laughs outright.

"You're looking for who now? JESUS? HA! Bit of soul-searching for you, is it? Spiritual journey? Pilgrimage to the Holy Land? You're in the wrong place for that!" He keeps laughing.

I mean, you get the laughter. It definitely sounds weird to a third party. Crazy even. But if this guy is an angel, then shouldn't it sound perfectly reasonable?

"Oi," Crowley interrupts, clearly impatient, "We're trying to save the world here. And since angels don't normally take holiday time, I'd think helping us might be in your best interest."

"You think you can stop the Second Coming? Ha! There isn't another technicality that you can throw around this time. This one's it. Enjoy the giant snail statues while they last, because it won't be for much longer."

"You know an awful lot," You call from the bench, "And you like to talk. So just get to the part about Jesus so we can leave you to be miserable on your own." You popcorn is already almost finished, and you frown into your carton. If only you could do miracles. You'd refill it yourself.

Surfer-Dude-Angel-Person laughs again.

"Yeah, okay, I like this one," he says, nudging a thumb in your direction. He turns away from Crowley and Aziraphale and strides towards you. Suddenly your popcorn carton is full again, so you look up. Okay, maybe he's not so bad. He reaches out a hand to you.

"Call me Sardis, Little Moth."

After a moment of hesitation, you shake his hand. He turns back to Crowley and Aziraphale.

"I can see why you've adopted this one," he says, then turns his attention to Anathema, paying no mind to the garbled protests coming from Crowley. "And since we're doing introductions...?"

"Anathema Device," says Anathema with a nod. She would probably shake his hand, but between her equipment and her popcorn, her hands are full.

"Lovely to meet you, Miss Anathema," Sardis nods at her before finally looking back at Aziraphale and Crowley. "You won't find Jesus here. But meet me for drinks later and I'll tell you what you need to know to find him."

"You're unnecessarily cryptic, Sardis," You say with a raised eyebrow and a mouth full of popcorn. He laughs again.

"Well, Little Moth," his eyes have a sparkle in them now as he looks at you, "Gotta keep myself entertained somehow."

Sardis insists on giving you all a tour of the sculpture garden, but refuses to say anything more about Jesus, or how he knows about Armageddon, or why he isn't in Heaven, or anything else that you actually WANT to talk about. He insists that such talk isn't for a quiet garden full of art. It isn't until he lays a cryptic finger beside his nose and winks at you that something clicks in your memory.

Remember, back before JK Rowling turned out to be an awful person, back when everyone read Harry Potter? EVERYONE, RIGHT?? Perhaps, dear Reader, you remember the chapter in book 5 where Hermione calls a meeting at The Hog's Head because it’s less crowded. Hermione figures the sparse crowd means that there are fewer people to see them together. Perhaps you also remember when, later in the book, this action comes back to bite them, and they are told very sternly that they should have met at the Three Broomsticks precisely BECAUSE it was busier. A busy pub meant they would have been less likely to be overheard.

Suddenly you look around the garden and notice the sparse, but very much there, collection of people. Just the right number of people that could listen to your conversation if they wanted to without you being any the wiser. Oh.

Oh.

Maybe the cryptic is a little bit necessary after all. He’s still overdoing it in your opinion, but whatever floats his goat.

You part ways after his tour, agreeing to meet at a local bar at 9pm. There’s enough time to go back to the hotel, freshen up, and get something to eat before you make your way there.

“Well,” Aziraphale says back at the hotel, “This Sardis certainly is a character.”

“I know the name from somewhere,” You trail off in thought. Where have you heard it before? Sardis…Tardis…Sardine….You’re not sure, but it rings a bell.

Anathema is already flipping through notebooks. Aziraphale has picked up his copy of the Bible, and Crowley is on his phone. You figure everyone else has it covered, and sure enough, it’s Crowley who finds it first. Google, no doubt.

“Ha! Found the sod! He’s in Revelation.”

“Oh!” You practically jump as recognition finally hits. “He’s one of the seven angels! The ones we didn’t think were here!”

“You didn’t think any of them were here?” Anathema asks, “Did you even check, or did you just assume?”

“Well Muriel said…” You go quiet, before clearing your throat and trying again. “We didn’t look into it far at all, no.”

“So exactly what work did you do before you called me?”

“Umm…….” You say.

“Nnngggh” Crowley adds.

“A great deal less than we thought at the time, apparently,” Aziraphale finally admits with a sigh.

“You are all really bad at saving the world.” Anathema shakes her head.

hi hello howdy

for the otp ask-game: 4, 11, 29 👀

Heeello Cris!

Let's do this with the world's best pairing!

4. Their favorite show to watch together?

I think they largely have different tastes in TV shows. Definitely see Annie liking more "wholesome" shoes while Armin is there watching the most fucked up horror

but they agree on The Great British Bake Off because they're like that

11. Who leaves notes in the other one's lunch? (Bonus: what do they say?)

Armin! 100% Armin! 99% of the time YA BOY ARMIN! Annie said it was silly and that he shouldn't waste his time but she (not so) secretly loves them and have kept a few of them hidden and rereads them often

As to what's in them, it's the cheeziest, most inspirational Pinterest-type love quotes but would often have Annie roll her eyes. But because they're from Armin she loves them

29. First date? (Give as much or little detail)

I'm sticking to canon-verse for this one, but I'm pretty sure their "first" date, Armin thought they were just running an errand together. It's not until half-way through were Armin isn't holding her hand, isn't buying her stupid treats, isn't taking the extra scenic route through the park that she flat out says she was expecting this to be a date, in her matter-of-fact Annie face and voice that it finally hits him in the face

He's suuuuper blushy for the rest of the date, but goes out of her way to never let go of her hand, buy her candy from every stall they pass, and only go back home once their feet hurt!

[iirulancorrino]

love that you're reading dorothy sayers. I do have to say that Who's Body is not a favorite, but murder must advertise is amazing. 10/10. no harriet unfortunately, but it's truly hilarious. (Don't even try the nine tailors unless u are like suuuuper into bell ringing tho)

Good to know, anon! I could definitely see myself checking out a few more in the series, I'm a sucker for British detective novels

[normanbased]

open call for anyone to help me find THIS episode of Juke Box Jury

It's the pre-UK US version of JBJ. When I found it on pinterest it said it was from the 5th of September 1959, but I think it could also have been earlier than that (potentially May 1957). The JBJ archive website didn't have any results and archive.net and ok.ru also didn't have anything other than the British version. If anybody has anything on the US version of JBJ I would suuuuper appreciate it!!

[wind-becomes-lightning]

Hello there, Nisi! I am a newish follower (who is astonishingly not a porn bot!) and see that you are from Germany. I am American but visiting Berlin for the first time this summer. I’m very excited! I thought since you seem pretty friendly that I would ask if you had any recommendations for a person to see/do in Berlin. If you’ve never been (or just don’t want to answer a non-Naruto question), don’t feel obligated to answer. Thank you and have a nice day!

Hii first of all welcome and I'm sorry for everything you have to witness here!

Uh, then second: dont go to berlin. Its expensive and big and loud and people are rude and the city is dirty. I swear I went last year again because I thought maybe I remembered it wrong, but no, still a shit city, sorry Berlin.

But, if you cant divert to a better place (cologne for example) I can tell you some things we did when we went to Berlin in July (my boyfriend is polish and had never been)

The parliament building's glass roof: A really cool thing about the german parliament is that you can go up the roof, which is a big glass bowl that lets you walk up and gives you a nice view of the city.Entrance is FREE!!! but you have to register your visit online first, because there are limited places available. Its absolutely worth it was by far the highlight of our trip. I recommend taking one of the free audioguides because it was very interesting. You can also do a tour of the building which we personally did not so I cant say much about it

I know Americans are not the biggest walkers because they are used to driving around in cars,but I would recommend walking the entire way from Alexanderplatz (which is the one with the big tv tower) to the Holocaust memorial / Tiergarten. You can walk passed what people call the "muesum island", the berlin opera, then you walk down "unter den linden" towards the brandenburg gate. It full of touristy stuff if thats your sort of vibe, my bf made us go into one of those fake bavarian restaurants that serve a maß bier lol. Then the brandenburg gate and from there to the left you find the Holocaust memorial (or you just continue on to the big Tiergarten park / the zoo). I think its an hour walk tho. Bf and me did it several times when we were there.

The holocaust memorial: I assuem thats on the bucket list anyway and its hard to miss. Its worth walking through and letting it all uh.. impress you. Its very well designed to make you feel uneasy when you walk further and further inside. Just note that taking pictures like selfies and shit IN the memorial and climbing on top of the stones outside of the memorial is seen as very rude. If you find it there is a museum underground but ive never been.

Topgraphy of terror: Its another historical place related to the na zi empire etc. Its all outside, you can just walk along it and read along. It goes along a piece of the berlin wall.

The East side gallary: Very famous part where the Berlin wall has been left standing so that artists can spray paint it etc. Its larger than one would think and walking down is very nice. Its also suuuuper touristy and full. The shopping center that is near has a great Japanese Ramen place LOL

Ok the other thing that people like to visit is checkpoint charlie because it was the checkpoint between the american and the soviet sector and history happeend there when the cold war almost became a very very hot war but uh its boring, its tiny, there are soo so so so many americans aroudn LMAO. Walk past if you are in the area otherwise just look at pics online, its not worth the time

With Museums I just dont know that well. I have never visited the museum for the Berlin wall because i know most of the stuff (oops history degree), I dont visit the pergamon museum on the museums isalnd because a lot of items there are stolen and should be given back (tho I did go to the British Museum in londn too so maybe I just dont wanna overpay for entry LOL). The Museum for East germany was real nice and interesting but full full full full you could hardly walk. However Berlin has a Video Games museusm that has tons of games to play so that was a lot of fun.

The Tempelhoferfeld: when east germany was still a thing Tempelhof was its main aiport. Its now unusued of course, but the entire rollfield and such is still there! On nice days is a hotspot for people to just chill out a little or have a bbq.

I personally have not been but if you want you can visit Potsdam which is close and has a nice castle I think

General advise: use public transport. Uber is not permitted in Germany and taxis are overpriced. public transport is everywhere, especially in berlin. Just buy a pass for a few days or a daily pass or if you want to walk a lot just a single fare ticket but use public transport. They run up to late hours.

Airbnbs are not allowed in berlin so if you find one to book its breaking the law and ... like i would generally advise to just not xD

Also, not to be mean, but americans are LOUD in public and easy to hear from miles away. I dont know what it is that makes them feel that they need to scream at each other, but if germans stare at you that might well be it. Also we arent nearly as obsessed with WW2 and thanking the troops as americans are, idk you, but there wont be any veteran discount or some shit :D ive seen people complain about that on the internet if you believe me

phew this is long, my apologies. if there is something else you want to know you can message me again.. or like message me again anyway because i would be interested to know if that helped in any shape or form.

[glittergoats]

I agree largely with how you answered that last ask but in reading that part of sky I felt an eerie sense of “this isn’t gonna be dealt well within the fandom is it” and largely yeah I was right.

I think it’s an interesting story and it’s nice to have some of the more cat politics parts of the story back into the main plot without intervention from StarClan or something just them making their own decisions BUT. I agree on the point that my own personal opinions on what is being portrayed are just too complicated and deep for cat talk but it’s weird to see some people have the strangest takes on the thing because - it’s such a complex subject it feels so jarring that this is all about cats sometimes I swear

Oh yeah its been really strange because its so obvious this arc is being written with a lot more...political intention? Than previous arcs.

Obviously wc has always had themes of fascism and xenophobia and such but its always felt kind of ethereal and detached from our world. But like ASC is definitely taking notes from the real world political climate. I'm not am expert in British politics but I do know that much like the US, they're suuuuper weird about miscegenation and all that. Berryheart's language and her straight up HOA racism squad is so clearly meant to invoke that. Especially with her having a son who is in a relationship with a cat from another clan. So I would not be surprised if the Tigerstar thing is also meant to parallel real world interventionism and its challenges and consequences.

So like yeah it feels odd and I am weary that the Erins will flub this and/or the fandom won't be able to extrapolate the plot and its themes as well. But we're early on in the arc so I suppose we'll see. I have always wanted Warriors to focus on more political intrigue though maybe more in a regency way than a "left vs right but cats" way. Ah well.

[looney-mooney]

Okay the way I combat this is typically to give each character a SUUUUPER distinctive voice or vocal pattern. As an obvious example, for Pinky and the Brain I made myself a little cheat sheet of what each of Pinky’s vocal ticks subconsciously means (Poit is sad or contemplative, Narf is happy, ETC) and sprinkled them all into his dialogue while giving him nonsensical things to say. Meanwhile, I let Brain be the intellectual megalomaniacal narcissist he is, and suddenly it’s ridiculously easy to tell who’s talking just based on what the dialogue itself is.

I do this with other characters too- since Perry the Platypus can’t talk, he’s usually the POV character who communicates with the audience via actions, body language, and internal dialogue, while Doof communicates through his endless rambling streams of external dialogue. Gibson has a lot of anxiety and pushes forward the veneer of being an intellectual (including his ridiculous British accent), while Otto doesn’t care what people think about him because he knows he’s good at what he does, and is therefore much more whimsical and easygoing. Zim is narcissistic and prone to declarative statements like “I am ZIM” or “FOOLISH (adjective/noun)” and communicates rather directly even when he’s hiding something, while Dib (still being just as manic/unpredictable/almost as self-centered as Zim) is more scheming and thoughtful in his approach and will try to wheedle out the meaning/“REAL TRUTH” behind things, while Gaz doesn’t CARE about any of that and just wants to protect her personal status quo, and is willing to cause harm to make that so, and Gir is clueless to any of these social dances and just chases dopamine wherever he can find it, while still caring about the people around him more than anyone else (if for no other reason than interacting with the people around him being a source of joy).

Anyway, If I had to do this with Josh and Jayson up there, it seems like Josh is cocky, flirtatious, smooth and is always at least PRETENDING to be in control, whereas Jayson is usually the one who’s actually more aware of what the situation actually is, but is more nervous and prone to bouts of anxiety or contemplation. Josh is too confident to ask serious questions, but Jayson is the one who actually knows more because he’s always asking questions. There isn’t much to go off of for the third guy, but he seems to be the one with the braincell - the Doctor McCoy to Josh and Jayson’s Kirk and Spock, if you will.

Anywho, by doing this I don’t even need to use name tags or pronouns most of the time. And when I do use a name tag, I’ll usually have it there as part of an action. Not as an excuse to clarify who’s saying what in a slightly more natural way (although it does do that), but because I’m an animator above all else and mostly think in terms of actions.

One of the hardest parts of writing gay anything is that they (often) use the same pronouns. Balancing names and pronouns so that I'm not overusing either of them is maybe THE hardest part of writing for me, because if you use 'he' too many times in a row you'll lose track of who's doing what, but too many names is repetitive and awkward to read!

Eavesdrop for Amai about Andrew or Yuuki 👉👈

How dare you make me choose???? I refuse to, you're getting both!!

Andrew

"Hm? Yeah, yeah! Hehe, he's from Europe, too, you know? Buuut you won't hate that Andie is British, would you?" Talking to Elodie about a guy that they liked as much as Andrew was always pretty fun. They trusted her, but this time, they could only laugh at her fake outrage.

"Hehe, noooooo, don't say that! He's a super, super cool and adorable guy! He's so sweet and thoughtful, and he's the creative type like you! Some of his friends are jerks for not even using a translator for him, buuuut he was super super forgiving of them, and he's reeeally patient whenever I get those nasty cooking videos sent to me... no thanks to you, meanie." They roll their eyes as she laughs at their misery.

"Amai thinks that Andie is getting better at reading Japanese, aaaand he really really seems to like Amai's cooking and sweets! He has the cutest expressions when he sees them, and the best part? He's an animal lover! He let me hold the sweetest little bird... it was so cuuuuute, Amai could have died!" Their voice was more high pitched, just remembering the little bird got that like them. "Ah, but Amai has to go soon, can we talk later, Eri?"

Yuuki

"Phuhu, jeaaalous that Amai has a new friend, Yukki?" They couldn't help but tease a bit, laughing a bit at the student council president's reactions. "Amai doesn't really get it, though. Yuu-kun is just a super cool and kind friend!"

They tilt their head to the side before pouting a little. "Eh? Don't be mean. Amai doesn't like him because he's a pretty guy. Amai likes him because he's honest and cool. He's a really stand up guy... and there's something... familiar about him. Amai doesn't really get it, though. ...no, Amai didn't sleep with him. Honestly, why is that your first question? Wah, so mean... Yuu-kun doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would even want that on the first date. Amai thinks he's really good, though."

They weren't really sure how to explain it, but talking with Yuuki... well, it felt like they were looking at a choice that they didn't make for themself in a strange way. "Hm... if Amai had to complain... Amai doesn't think he'd let me play dress up with him... wah, but it can't be helped. Amai does wanna see him snowboard one day, though. Amai thinks it'd be suuuuper cool, like him!"

[castlebyersafterdark]

would you say parks and rec counts as the mockumentary style that cringes you out? i wonder if you like more absurd humour and darker stuff sort of, like always sunny in philadelphia, the mighty boosh, black books? these are my favs. oh and green wing! maybe too british for your tastes though? i find mine crosses over sometimes, i find some american stuff great if its silly and absurd enough. there are some SNL sketches i really like (like santa baby with ryan gosling, and the papyrus skit gets me because as an artist i was legit as angry with the avatar films as the skit portays hahaha), but mostly i don't get the humour or i find it to be a bit hit and miss. but then again sometimes Friends really hits? like, despite all the things dated about it, some of it is just timeless classic comedy with that cosy undertone that really hits home. comedy is always best for me when its capable of being sincere and heartfelt too sometimes, rather than just super ironic or detached, which feels very self-defensive and therefore weak to me? maybe that's why the marvel films just did nothing for me after a while (sorry to bring up your divorce hun)

I would say the mockumentary style shows in general aren't really my taste. Good and bad parts, but I don't really turn to those shows. I think Parks and Rec is one of the more tolerable ones, though certain characters on there I couldn't stand. I couldn't get into the Office at alllllll (though it's great for a reaction gif haha). Always Sunny in Philadelphia didn't do it for me either. I could only take shows like that in small doses. Never heard of those others you've listed!

Sporadic SNL watcher but I do have a fondness - an ex of mine was suuuuper into SNL so I've seen a ton of random episodes from all over the eras. And my man likes it too, just not as avid a watcher (he hates hates hates modern SNL so I also haven't seen it in years other than random sketches online tbh). I think there's decent episodes from every era, early days are bizarre but as a history nerd I think those are really really interesting. I liked a lot of the 90s and 2000s stuff most. It's definitely a show I wouldn't consider a huge favorite, but there's something for everyone I think, it's easy to throw on for background noise honestly because you can look up and pay attention for 5 minutes and then not pay attention as well and you're not missing a plot.

I do really like the classic sitcoms like Friends and Seinfeld, Cheers, Golden Girls, older stuff etc. I KNOW they are pretty dated and have their own issues, but they were always on growing up and I thought they were funny. Comfort shows for sure! Something almost neutral on TV as my huge messy family wove throughout our chaotic life. I also like the look of them and the camera work? The line delivery? Older syndication shows just have a vibe missing today.

I've seen so many TV shows that I never watched the full series of - byproduct of my scatterbrain. So when I find stuff and get invested, that's why it sticks, because everything else I'm distracted and jumping around haha.

[tiny-tk]

. :+* day 9: if you have other marginalised identities (lgbtq+, neurodivergent, poc, etc), how do they figure into your regression? (intersectionality is so cool)

i’m so excited abt this question ehehehhehe !! you get the full tk loredump now >:]

so i’m an immigrant (albeit a pretty privileged one) and also mixed race. it’s a loooong story but basically i’m asian american, born in the usa but grew up in germany and england. my german school was super diverse so that didn’t really figure into it much, but when i came to the uk when i was 9, everyone i knew had grown up there and having a foreign accent and having missed out on a lot of british-specific childhood experiences was suuuuper othering a lot of the time (this is what motivated me to make that one multicultural agere post that kind of blew up hehe) ;; i also never completely fit in because i’m neurodivergent and just tend to like different things, i guess?

i’m lucky that i was able to find neurodivergent friends really quickly (hi nem if u see this!!!!) which helped loooads but i still had trouble fitting into a mainstream crowd. i think that made it easier to accept all sorts of new revelations about myself (like figuring out that im trans and i have adhd) bc there were no “what if i’m different” thoughts since i already Knew i was different, just for other reasons! that also made it way easier to come to terms with my age regression like ,, i’m already part of a bunch of other minorities so what’s one more?

in terms of my current everyday life, my regression is allowing me to relive my childhood as a more self-aware version of myself, now that i know more about myself like my gender and sensory needs and preferences! plus as a way to cope with the struggles that come from being part of all those minority groups and living in a society that wasn’t made for people like me.

Hello!

I'm L! Right now, this intro isn't finished, but I think I should put something up so people have something to go off of. I am an aspiring writer and songwriter (the former for at least 4 years, the latter for only around 1) , although Tumblr is definitely more of a writing place for me. I'm developing my art skills as well. I tend to write YA romance (almost always LGBTQ+) but I'm currently writing something with magical aspects and multiverses, so who tf knows. Tag me in stuff! Tag me in tag games - I love love love tag games.

WIPs:

Lilac

For the entirety of summer vacation, Virgil Whispercloud and Michael Ashtree have been at war. Both boys have come up with different pranks to pull on each other, many of which have cast a bad light on Virgil's dad's and Michael's mom's sporting goods businesses. Finally, the week before senior year is about to start, their collective parents decide that enough is enough and sentence them to no phones for the whole school year unless they can learn to be friends. For the sake of their phone access, the two boys resolve to become friends, and despite their apparent dislike of each other, it starts out promisingly. Could Virgil and Michael have more chemistry than they thought they did? And what type of chemistry exactly will it be? (Featuring one chapter from each of their friends' perspectives, the friends being Lali Mnemosyne, Ethan Hananoki, Liam Brown and Evan Boulder.)

Pomegranate (it's a series because of how long it is)

Oh, Christ, I'll try to keep this short (famous last words).

Essentially, three Californian teenagers (Arielle 'Aria' Brooks, Theo Amberfall, and Vivienne 'Evie' Halsey) are forcibly enrolled in a prestigious British boarding school, one they are all accepted to due to their extreme intelligence. Even though they don't want to leave their hometown, they end up reconciling with it due to their different yet unsatisfactory (to say the least) family situation. The three of them navigate and grapple with the turmoil of teenage life, love, new friends (Robin Gray, Emile Chastain, Albert Lightfoot, Nico Cyprus, Vil D'Or), the existence of magic, the fact that the universe as they know it is actually a multiverse containing nearly infinite dimensions, the endless anger of one girl hell-bent on vengeance and her many allies, and the war that seems to be hovering over the horizon. Together, they are the Supernatural Investigative Squad.

Roses of Autumn (working title)

Suuuuper rudimentary summary because I haven't done much work on this since 2021, but Autumn Roses is the Oregon-based story of Melanie Chambers, a girl with unresolved trauma from her past years of school and a whole lot of social anxiety, who ends up living with a mysterious, cool surfer chick who's just moved from California, Emma Flores. As the two get to know each other and become close, they discover more about themselves and each other than they ever thought they would.

Beams of Light (working title)

Same setting as Autumn Roses (and same rudimentary story), this is about Kayden Vigilanco, a boy whose entire perspective changes on the day he meets Dexter D'Angelo. The two are opposites in life and behavior, but against the odds, they become fast friends. Their relationship deepens, and suddenly, Kayden starts to question his sexuality. But, there's no way he could have a crush on his best friend... right?

Drops of Ambrosia (working title)

Same setting as the last two (honestly, I just wanted to write a story focusing on each character pairing in the first story). This time, it's a little darker.

Aurelie Chambers knows she does not like Ava Pierce. She is sure of that. She does not, will not, and cannot like that girl, no matter how attractive she may be. It's not because Ava is a girl, oh no; everyone knows that Aurelie is pansexual and proud. No, it's because Ava was actively present for the trauma that impacted Aurelie's sister Melanie so greatly, and so Aurelie has sworn off her. Absolutely. No doubt about it. But when that plan falls through and Aurelie can't resist temptation, she starts to fall down a rabbit hole of guilt and lies. Will Ava display a new side that pardons her to the Chambers sisters, or will Aurelie have to make one of the most difficult choices of her life?

"Maid thing" (either a graphic novel or a book - has no current title)

Since the day he was employed as a maid, Jonah Adair has been after one goal: marrying his employer, Roman Rochester, and living in opulence for the rest of his life. Jonah is very attractive and hardly subtle about his advances, so his task should be easy, right? Wrong. Roman is the most clueless Duke in the world. It's alright for the moment, though - Jonah is paid well, as is his sister (Tilly Adair), who is a maid like him but serves the Duke's sister, Ruth, and as much as he'd like to persuade himself that he has no pre-marriage feelings for Roman, it's always pleasant when the two are together. One day, though, out of the blue, a threat arrives in the form of Countess Anachronia Linden, who unfortunately has the same goal as Jonah. The only difference is she's got the parents on her side. Now, with the pressure on Roman to marry Anachronia, Jonah must rely on his allies (Tilly, Ruth, and the third Rochester sibling, Ricky Rochester) and his own charms to sway Roman into choosing him.

"Storriach mystery" (either a screenwritten series or a book - has no current title)

Henry Storriach is a young man. Smart. Pretty. Raised with love. Grieving. A while ago - not years but not weeks, six months, that's it, Henry always forgets - his wife Helen and child Daniel were killed in a house fire. Since the funeral, Henry has been roaming his house like a ghost, barely eating, barely sleeping, holding the hands of his piano like the past love he no longer can hold, and now, at the six-month mark, he is reunited through a series of events with his two formerly closest friends, Sumire Rydell-Eimin and Julian Underwood. After Julian dredges up something about the death, he and Henry end up investigating Helen and Daniel's deaths as a murder under the noses of their friends-turned-suspects. Can two young men with a troubled history together effectively solve a murder, or will their lives be turned to dust under the weight of the crime they've dug up?

Diadem/Teardrop (working titles - it will probably have to be a series because fuck it if all my characters can't have love lives and tragic backstories)

Almost as old as the Roses of Autumn series. Wowee!

Fuck prophesies. Princess Eclipse 'Ella' Vespertine has been treated badly her whole life and only finds respite in the company of her best friend and up-and-coming Duchess Laurie West. Princess Amara Vespertine has been expected to be a savior of the people and defend them against her own sister, expected to be the perfect heiress and ruler and take exactly after her mother, and so treats her sister like trash despite knowing it's wrong. Eventual Duke Alexander Toussaint-Corbin is a social pariah just because of the magic he was born with. At the start of freshman year in college, one meeting will change their lives for the better.

The three stories:

- Ella meets up-and-coming Duchess Charlotte Toussaint-Corbin, a girl who somehow embodies royal composure and yet an air of devil-may-care attitude. Friendship blooms instantly. Romantic tension blooms even faster, as easily as a princess with essentially no romantic experience (or so you'd think) and a girl who's as hot and has the same temperament as the sun can meet on a train. How will Laurie and Amara react to this new relationship?

- Laurie and Amara, though frenemies at first, are roped into a roommate situation and forced to learn to live with each other. Laurie has her preconceptions about Amara (and vice versa) but despite that, they quickly become friends, and to her own horror, Amara starts to develop a crush on Laurie. After a few too many drunken hookups, Amara gets in a life-threatening accident. I wonder how it will affect her life (wink wink).

- Alex Toussaint-Corbin has never been in a platonic relationship with someone who loved him, let alone a romantic one, but somehow, freshman year of college lands him in a love triangle with his hot, mean roommate, Luca Prince, and his new best friend, Adrien Solace. (Also, there is no Miraculous Ladybug connection. I swear to God I pulled those first names out of my brain caverns.) On top of that, he is quickly gaining new friends via his sister and somehow, a deep friendship with the current heir to the Vespertine throne herself, Amara. With so little experience in any of these matters, will Alex be able to handle all of it or will it all come crashing down on him?

When I have the energy, I will update this intro with the rest of the WIPs and information about yours truly.

But for now, I hope you enjoyed reading and have a good day!

[runin-reads]

also also im suuuuper excited to read your prequel to the teen pregnancy au it sounds amazing!!! :))

Me too! Been doing a lot of research on queer British culture and history during the 60s/70s so hopefully the plot will be a lot more rich and coherent than CTTS which is more of a one shot collection haha.

[kmp78]

All those models gain qualifications from doing nothing. It's like British celebrities are given University Doctorates without doing the work. It's shocking! Sorrynotsorry but models are models for a reason. Not very smart. If you were smart. Why the fuck would you go into modelling. 😆😆 Val and friends are pretentious wannabees who NEED rich men to keep them in the fancy lifestyle.

Maddy in particular is a fucking joke... 😂

Rich lil' Kelly Taylor type who grew up in the lap of luxury and suuuuper shockingly fell in love with a billionaire heir. 😂🙄
