I've talked about this at length on Twitter, so I'll try to keep it short and sweet:
OBEY ME IS NOT ENDING!
I've seen a lot of people panicking and a lot of people doomposting about the games being shut down, about how Solmare is abandoning the franchise, etc.
THIS IS NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING.
Tumblr media
- From Solmare's announcement a couple of days ago.
The main story in Nightbringer is being wrapped up, but that's it. The games are not being shut down. The games are not going anywhere. You can still play the original Obey Me! and Nightbringer as much as you want. The main story will simply be finished at Lesson 60.
The franchise itself is not ending, either. Solmare has made multiple statements about this and has made it very clear that Obey Me! the series itself will continue. And the voice actors have confirmed this as well!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In addition to both games remaining, there are multiple new Obey Me! projects coming next year!
According to Solmare, the next era of Obey Me! will include new content, live in-person events, new merch, collaborations, and more that will be announced in 2025.
Believe me, I completely understand the disappointment that comes with this news. I'm deeply saddened and disheartened to know that the main story will be wrapping up so soon. I had been following Obey Me! since before the first game even came out (ever since the promotional trailer was shown at AX in 2019) and I've been a daily player of both games since Day 1. It's absolutely valid and expected for people to be upset.
However, I do think that we need to stop spreading misinformation. There have been a LOT of posts on both here and Twitter by people claiming that the series is over and that the games are being shut down. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Not only have I seen far too many people repeating these false claims, I've seen far too many people believing them at face value. I have seen too many people saying that now they're going to delete the games from their phone and leave the fandom, and I've seen fic writers and artists say that they're going to start deleting their works "because it's over now so why bother"
PLEASE DON'T. Obey Me is not ending! The games aren't being shut down! The series is still continuing with new content coming next year!
Repeating this misinformation isn't just damaging for the people who believe it, but if you're pushing players away from the fandom/series because they believe it's been shut down, then that's going to harm Obey Me! as well. We will only continue to get more new content and new OM projects if the series is successful, and alienating fans won't help anybody.
There's been a lot of anxiety and doomerism these past couple days. And while I totally understand feeling disappointed, PLEASE do not make false claims or spread misinformation. The games are not going anywhere and you can still play both of them as much as you want. The Obey Me! series is continuing with multiple new projects next year!

more boyfriend chris headcanons | ( fem!reader ) fluff + soft hours. established relationship headcanons wc 911 (library) + (request)
Tumblr media
boyfriend!chris whose first instinct is to protect you. whenever there's a loud sound nearby, he's quick to pull you into him and cradle your head. if there's someone being creepy nearby and he notices that you're uncomfortable around them, he'll pull you behind him, gently rubbing his thumb against your wrist to soothe your worries, and remind you that he's there and that you have nothing to worry about.
boyfriend!chris who gets cuteness aggression around you. he just can't help it. all you have to do is simply exist around him and he's suddenly squealing like a kid in a candy store. he'll latch onto you like a leach and start swinging you around while nuzzling his head into your neck and 'unintentionally' cooing at you in a baby voice.
boyfriend!chris who is the best gossip buddy. anytime you give him a certain look, he knows he's in for a good tea session. the both of you will sit and gossip about other couples, and people you met in passing for hours. he always has the inside scoop on something, and whenever his ears happen to catch onto some extra juicy drama, you're the first person he'll run to yap about it with. he's actually the biggest gossip, and truthfully most of his friends aren't safe, because as soon as they say "can i tell you a secret? you can't tell anyone else though." he immediately excuses you and his brothers from that statement, cause his ears are yours.
boyfriend!chris who adores your laugh. he's suddenly the biggest comedian whenever he's around you. always cracking jokes, and throwing in one-liners into every conversation the two of you have just so he can hear you laugh. he adores it so much, and some of his favorite moments consist of just the two of you together in the quiet confines of his room, crying laughing at stupid memes.
boyfriend!chris who won't leave your side when you're sick. as soon as he gets word that you're feeling unwell, he's doing everything in his power to help you get back to health. he'll look up every method on the internet to help you, almost to the point it becomes overwhelming. after he sets you up with blankets, medicine, and you're well fed, he'll sit by the side of your bed and will refuse to leave you alone.
boyfriend!chris who loves to play online games with you. he'll buy a nintendo switch just to play your favorite games with you like animal crossing, and mario kart. other times, he'll beg matt to let you use his pc which he does most of the time, but for everyone's convenience, chris ended up buying you a new pc so he could play games with you whenever. he'll play all types of video games with you, going from scary, to adventure, to mystery. he'll play it all, your discord calls probably go up to being 8 hours long with the amount of games you play in one sitting. he'll also def try to get you into fortnite, and will most-likely carry you throughout most matches, he still wouldn't choose anyone else to duo with.
boyfriend!chris who remembers the little things. any allergy you have, your favorite desserts, your biggest fears, all of it is stored in the back of his mind. he could name any fact about you in an instant, he can tell you things that you don't even remember telling him. it's honestly a bit surprising but it always makes you feel seen as his partner. he pays attention to everything you do and say, even the smallest of habits.
boyfriend!chris who makes an effort of making time for you. he always sets aside time for you. he's a busy guy with a full schedule, so whenever he has some free time to spare, he'll plan something for the both of you to do together. he turns his phone off when he's out with you just incase someone tries to cut in on that time. if someone tries to sway his decision of doing something else instead of being with you, he'll shoot it down immediately. always saying something along the lines of "i gotta get back home to my baby."
boyfriend!chris who calls you his wife. before you even started dating he called you his girlfriend, but now that you're actually a couple, he calls you his wife. he always uses you as an excuse, saying things like "ahh, the wife's not gonna like this one." and "my wife said i should be back home by 9 'cause she's cooking dinner tonight." when in reality you never said those things, he just wants to get back home to you. on other occasions he just likes to do it because he fully believes in having that future with you. "happy wife, happy life."
boyfriend!chris who loves you for not judging him. chris always feels like people look at him a little differently from his brothers. he falls under people's scrutiny all the time for being weird, loud, annoying, and as much as he likes to pretend that those comments don't hurt him, they really do. so, you've become a personal safe-haven for him. whenever he starts to feel beaten down by the ruthlessness of people's opinions he always goes to you for comfort. he doesn't feel lonely or isolated anymore knowing that you see him for him.

A has followed Luke co star in white mars. Still yet to follow Nic. It says alot.
As much as i want N&L together they’re not right now, we’re still riding the wave. But I think it would be easier on some if we started to accept the reality now instead of being in fantasy world making up scenarios to suit a narrative made up in some people heads.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I respectfully disagree with you.
A follow from Antonia (that's her name, by the way, you can use it) is not telling of anything to me, because I don't seek knowledge from anyone besides Luke and Nicola. So it says a lot of nothing for me.
I personally think "accepting reality now instead of being in fantasy world making up scenarios to suit a narrative made up in some people heads" is a lazy response.
What is this narrative? That Luke and Nicola are together? Do you have definitive statements from either Luke or Nicola that explicitly says they're not together that you'd like to share? Do you know Luke and Nicola's inner worlds so much that you can confidently state without any basis that they're not together? What scenarios to suit a narrative are you talking about? The things that unreliable media outlets put out or the assumptions made from videos? I think you're projecting, and some part of you knows as much, because you felt you needed to hide behind anonymity.
Personally, I simply utilize my brain and listen only to what Luke and Nicola have to say about one another.
This response shows a lack of critical thought and insight, and illustrates the mindset of one who is not willing to think deeper for themselves.
Please do better.

When they don't know you as well as they thought they did
Characters: Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub and Belphegor (x reader, separately)
Main Masterlist
C/W: the boys are crushing on MC and it's implied MC is crushing as well, but there isn't any established relationship. Just friends feeling things for their friend, very common. Self-insert, perhaps?
A/N: this is just fluff, very silly, a little ooc maybe, but I'm not sure. I just wanted to make something fun and lighthearted after the recent news.
.
No one is surprised anymore at the firmness the brothers speak with when they call you part of the family. Between the pacts and the unsolicited free therapy, it’s only fair, and only an idiot wouldn’t be able to see the affection running through the House of Lamentation.
Still, there are instances every once in a while where, although it’s difficult at the beginning, the boys have no other choice but to accept the fact that you have a completely different life back in the human world and they may not know you as good as they would like.
It starts with the small things; embarrassing conversations where their ignorance gets you to laugh like a maniac more than a couple of times. There they are, blushing in self-consciousness while you cackle uncontrollably because they believed some urban legend about a faceless suited man with freakishly long arms.
Then, slowly, but surely, it turns into more personal things about you, like your irrational, downright, phobia of lizards or the fictional characters you’re surprisingly attracted to.
(Some of those aren’t human, which makes them all feel a strong sense of hope, but you don’t need to know that).
The brothers learn about your studies, favourite subjects and what you’d like to do with your future, even if it sounds hopeless or unlikely. They also keep every bit of information about your friends and family; little comments that you let go here and there and help them understand why you are someone they love so much.
The whole situation evolves in such a way that inviting them to your birthday party in the human realm seems to be the obvious next step.
‘It’s so I can celebrate it with all my loved ones’ you say, and they really can’t deny your offer after that.
So, after a few awkward introductions and half-truths about their origin, everyone is happily talking to each other and eagerly waiting for their turn to be with you.
.
Lucifer, who has had a special interest in your family for a while, finds himself chuckling in understanding when your mother complains about the occasional mess in your room. In your defence, he feels obligated to partially throw his brothers under the bus and blame them for keeping you in a constant state of disarray, but then she says something that… perplexes him.
You don’t like perfection? His eyes open wide at the revelation and your mother chuckles, misinterpreting his expression. She doesn’t know who he really is or what he represents, after all.
Just how vast is the veracity of that statement? Does it refer only to a state of mind or do you apply it to everything else?
Thankfully, he doesn’t have time to feel too anxious before he remembers the little details. When your triumphal smile shone in the dimness of his room that time he made a silly mistake in chess, ultimately granting you the win; or when the Anti-Lucifer League managed to leave his hair unkempt for an entire day, which got you to shamelessly look at him for longer than any of his younger brothers would’ve ever liked.
Not being perfect isn’t something he would ever do consciously and he had always found solace in the fact that you like him despite his mistakes. However, knowing you actually like him because of those mistakes? Perhaps letting those cracks show in his façade isn’t so bad as long as it is for you.
.
Not far from him, Mammon chats with your human best friend. There’s an air of competitiveness between them, both wanting to be the ultimate best friend, but it all stays light-hearted. There’s no real threat when Mammon gets to be your first demon, you know? It’s a unique position!
But he still makes sure to assert dominance by stating he would’ve made the perfect party for you, better than the one you’re currently enjoying; with food and decorations from the Devildom and the Celestial realm included, matching outfits and, of course, keeping everything hidden so you can have the best surprise of your life. He had thrown a lot of those with Asmo’s help back home, so he knows you love them!
Or he thinks you do, at least.
Your friend sniggers harmlessly when they hear that last part, pointing at him with an infuriating smartass attitude, and immediately shatters Mammon’s reality.
What the heck do they mean, you don’t like surprise parties? He’d done a lot of those back at the Devildom and you’d never complained, appreciative as you are, even helping him do the same for other’s birthday parties!
Sure, you had always looked dumbfounded by the loud cheering and the confetti after stepping through the door, but that was part of the fun… right? You would tell him if you wanted him to stop, wouldn’t you?
He feels a pang in his heart when the idea of you being uncomfortable for his sake appears in his mind, but it doesn’t make sense. While you undeniably treat him better than anyone else in all of the realms, you still correct him when you see fit and him making you unhappy on your own birthday would be one of those occasions.
He trusts you to confide in him when things are wrong just as much as you trust him to do his best. That’s what friends are for, after all.
.
And where else would Levi be if not hidden in a corner playing with his DDD?
He had tried mingling with people at the party, or at least tried hanging around them, he swears, but conversations became repetitive and boring and then he received a notification for a daily reward from one of his apps, so, of course, he had to sit down to collect it. Then minutes passed as he completed minigames to power up his cards and… you get the idea.
So when a friend of yours walked towards him, complimenting the pins and badges on his bag and the faint music coming out of his headphones, sure, the evening started going way smoother.
He talks enthusiastically, just like any other time his interests are mentioned, wildly gesturing with his hands and letting the little bubble around them be full of their eager exchange. However, a casual lament from his companion stops him right in his tracks.
It’s a shame you don’t like anime…? His first reaction is to laugh, enumerating everything you’d watched, and later commented on, with him under a blanket in the tranquillity of his room, but the utter surprise in your friend’s face leaves him speechless.
You really don’t like it? But… But he’s made you see so many things! Did you like any of them? Did you lie to his face when you said you enjoyed them? He would’ve never chosen a best friend like that; you were not like that and he refused to believe the contrary.
Also, would a liar buy merch on their own like you did? Would they watch the best episodes again or listen to the soundtrack on repeat when they had a bad day? This new revelation only makes him aware he was the one to change your perspective of the fine arts and he’s damn proud of that.
You are still getting an earful when you get back home, though.
.
Satan thinks the kid is a young cousin of yours, but he really hasn’t been paying attention to anything in a long while. How could he, when the enthusiastic toddler had taken their mother’s phone just to show him the family cat’s pictures and videos?
A Mackerel tabby cat, too chubby for his own good but not enough to be actually concerning; playing with feathers, blinking slowly, bumping his head against legs and shoulders, meowing sweetly and, basically, opening his heart in half and making it roam inside his chest like a butterfly.
What a good party.
He mentions all the stray cats behind his house, obviously leaving behind the name of the House of Lamentation and the Devildom, and all the times you’ve gone with him to feed them and play. Satan even shows pictures on his DDD and stops with an adoring expression when you appear on the screen, sitting on your toes with a kitty on your knees and smiling past the camera, straight at Satan.
However, what he hears next takes the air right out of his lungs. He sits down and clutches his pearls and the kid stares at him in anxious confusion, clearly witnessing but not understanding the severity of his distress.
Who, in their right mind, doesn’t like cats?
He remembers the first few times you had accompanied him to his route, intimidated and slightly lingering behind. Initially, he had assumed it was due to the novelty of your friendship or a possible fear of Devildom fauna, but nothing against cats!
Were you afraid of them or just plain uninterested? Why keep going with him if you weren’t as fond of them as he thought you were? Wouldn’t it be because of him, would it?
A warm feeling covers him like a blanket, makes him search for you with his eyes and then immediately blush when you excitedly wave at him, point at the kid and mouth ‘Cute cat!’
Yeah. Very cute.
.
On the other hand, Asmo hangs out with the people responsible for the decorations of the party and compliments them on their work. The colours are well-coordinated, there’s nothing out of place and the distribution was thought with all the guests in mind.
Although he hasn’t been able to help in that regard, he’s made sure you would be the centre of attention that evening; a complicated feature coming from him, but he had never minded sharing the main spot just as long as you were the one by his side; and everyone knows that.
You look cute and pretty and hot in your outfit, a style that both compliments and pleases you. You also worked together in your makeup for hours before getting to the party.
However, taking that much time might have been due to scrolling through social media and gossiping so much, but never mind that. Everyone agrees you look incredible and that is more than enough for him.
It isn’t until one of your friends mentions how weird it is to see you wearing makeup that he dares take his eyes away from you to stare at them in disbelief.
He would’ve never guessed that given that one of your favourite pastimes together is makeup as a whole: going shopping, watching tutorials, following trends, doing your own next to each other, doing each other’s… And, even if he wants to use it, his charming power is useless against you, so he knows you do your makeup because you want to and not because you feel forced by him.
Whether it’s something you share because you enjoy it or something you enjoy because you share it with him, he isn’t sure, but he can swear on his precious damned soul that makeup isn’t a need for you.
It’s just a bonus to your beauty.
.
Sitting at one of the tables, Beel is simultaneously talking to your older sibling while gulping down an entire plate of bite-sized snacks; thankfully, whatever apprehension anyone felt at his hunger died hours ago and now the conversation flowed more naturally, mainly centred around you.
As much as he loves having you near him and his brothers in the House of Lamentation and thinking of you as another member of the family, he is very interested in knowing how your human family is, especially your siblings. It’s another way of relating to you and making him feel closer.
Plus, he gets to know stories from your childhood you may never tell him on your own; anecdotes that will stay at the table he is currently sharing with your sibling.
Unfortunately, they reach a point where, although he wants to keep asking questions about you, doing so with a mouth full of food might end up with Lucifer’s scolding of the year. Also, he really wants to make a good impression.
So your sibling begins asking the questions. Surprisingly, they start with his tattoo; dark red curling around his muscles and almost going unnoticed under the colours of dusk. Beel smiles without giving it any importance because it really doesn’t have it, but forces himself to stop gulping down food when your sibling throws a fun fact about you.
You find tattoos attractive?
He feels an instant burning on his cheeks followed by the rapid beating of his heart and a knot in his stomach, but there’s also a faint unpleasant sour taste in his mouth.
You’ve never asked him about his tattoo, barely sparing a glance at it when you worked out together or he took off his jacket.
He wonders if you don’t like it or if you think it doesn’t look good on him because all he can remember is the focused look in your eyes while looking at his and the curve of your smile growing bigger as you listen to whatever he says, even when it is entirely about food, and…
You know what? He doesn’t really mind. He is fine with things as they are.
.
As both a friend of yours and a fellow younger brother, Belphie respects your sibling’s decision to spill your darkest secrets and thoroughly enjoys the air of comradery between them.
Don’t worry, he won’t let it go past actual serious matters; if you want him to know any of that, he’d rather have you telling him yourself when you’re ready and not get betrayed by your sibling. Silly and harmless pieces of information, however? Those are more than welcome.
And he already has a favourite.
You need to hug plushies to sleep? Tell him more. He doesn’t judge you for feeling the need to hug toys or pillows while sleeping. Actually, he understands.
Do you have a favourite? Is it in the human realm or is it in your room back at the House of Lamentation? While he can recall seeing that ugly zombie iguana on your bed, he’s never seen you cuddling it while sleeping and, other than that, he doesn’t remember seeing one, so he wonders if you hide it somewhere when you know he’s going to your room; but what about those times he enters uninvited?
Does that mean you left your preferred plushie in your room in the human realm? Does that mean that you don’t actually need to hug anything to sleep?
Whenever you share a bed, which is pretty frequent, Belphie can sense an invisible barrier between you that he’s dying to break. It’s nothing physical, given that only he knows how truly comfortable your lap and your chest are, but it’s obvious in the way your hands hesitate to bring him closer.
Shy and indecisive, while you don’t reject his advances, he’s still unsure what your feelings on the matter are. He’d initially thought you weren’t used to having anything so close to you while sleeping, but… now… Maybe he has to assure you that you can hug him as hard as you want.
Belphie is just as good as any plushie, after all; if not better.

The fact that I have already seen a good number of people complaining about how mean Stolas was supposedly being to Blitz in his song and thinking that he legitimately believes that Bliz is a wretched little worm that he owns is just. Utterly baffling. I'm genuinely unsure how anyone could miss the fact that it was an act. It was all a ruse he threw together on the fly in an effort to protect Blitz, wherein he pretended to be a big, bad, masterclass manipulator who was just using Blitz as his pawn.
For anyone who doubts it, here's the truth straight from the song writer's mouth:
Tumblr media
This is literally the same exact ploy he pulled in Truth Seekers. He came in at the last minute and put on a big show to convince the people threatening Blitz and the rest of I.M.P that he was a big, scary demon who was so much more powerful than them (which he is) and practically owned them as his minions used to carry out his evil deeds (which he doesn't).
Though, perhaps I shouldn't be too surprised, since pretty much everyone I've seen talk about that scene fails to realize that that and his "who dares threaten my impish little plaything?" and "what's the matter, demon hunter? Never seen a real demon before?" comments were nothing but an act and he didn't actually believe any of it, too.
In Mastermind, he was trying to make sure that all of the blame would be put on himself, so that, as shown above, they would give Blitz the same treatment the others got when Blitz claimed they had nothing to do with it and were just following his orders.
In Truth Seekers, he was trying to intimidate the humans and make them so scared he wouldn't need to resort to violence to stop them. Why else would he put on that whole horror movie display and announce himself and his relationship with Blitz at all, if his entire goal was anything other than to incapacitate them with fear? If all he wanted was to get I.M.P out, he could have quickly and easily killed them without saying a word. Calling Blitz his plaything and saying that he was a real demon served to a) establish that he was the kind of person who had playthings, because that's the kind of cruel, domineering creature that most humans expect demons to be, and b) further intimidate them by implying that he was exponentially more powerful than the demons who just decimated their whole entire team.
He didn't mean any of it either time (except for when he called Blitz an idiot, maybe); those weren't things he actually believed. Why would he legitimately think of Blitz as his plaything and someone he owns when in both cases it was far enough in the timeline that he was already in love with Blitz and wanted a real, genuine romantic relationship with him and not just the fleeting taste of one he got while restrained by the full moon deal?
Those were classist/racist things to say, of course, and that was the point. That was language he deliberately used because it fit the persona he was using to appear villainous. Where he went wrong the first time and how his actual internalized racism came into play was in how he didn't for even one single second think about how those statements would look to the members of I.M.P, because he'd never once had to think about the fact they must get those kinds of demeaning comments all the time and had no way of knowing that he was faking. Calling them "little creatures" while he was scolding them probably wasn't part of the act though, and he didn't realize that it was classist/racist to say those things at all, regardless of intent, so he never apologized or reassured them that he didn't actually believe Blitz was his plaything or that they weren't real demons.
But with the power of hindsight and a more omniscient view of the characters that we get later on, it's so clear to see that all of these comments were only said as part of his theatrical portrayals of a villain, rather than things he truly believes, because he doesn't talk like that after Ozzie's when he realized just how much he had unintentionally been hurting Blitz. Don't fall for his ruse, guys, especially not when it's as blatantly obvious as it was in Mastermind.

1. Layers, but Make It Fashion!
Think of layering as your chance to create a Pinterest-worthy winter look. Start with thermal basics (cute ones, obviously), add a soft knit sweater, and top it off with a statement coat. Don’t be afraid to mix textures—wool, velvet, and fleece are winter’s dream team.
Style Hack: Belt your oversized coat for a snatched look and pair it with earmuffs for retro-cute vibes!
2. Keep Those Tootsies Toasty
Cold feet? Ew, no. Treat your toes to fleece-lined socks or those fluffy slipper socks that feel like heaven. Bonus points if they’re pastel pink or covered in sparkles. Waterproof boots are a must, but why not go for ones with faux fur trim? Practical AND adorable.
Pro Tip: Grab mini hand warmers for your boots on extra chilly days—they’re a lifesaver!
3. Moisturize, Hydrate, Repeat
Winter is out here trying to steal your glow, but we’re not letting it win. Upgrade to a thicker moisturizer and keep lip balm on hand (hello, peppermint-flavored kisses). Hydrate from the inside too—water, herbal teas, and broths will keep your skin dewy and fresh.
Cutie Tip: Carry a mini face mist in your bag for a quick hydration boost that also smells divine.
4. Hot Drinks = Warm Soul
Coffee, hot cocoa, chai lattes—whatever warms your heart, make it cute! Add marshmallows, whipped cream, or even a cinnamon stick for that extra flair. And don’t forget a mug that matches your vibe—sparkly, pastel, or maybe even a personalized one?
Pro Idea: Try a "hot chocolate bar" night with friends. Think toppings galore and the coziest vibes ever.
5. Cozy Up Your Space
Your home is your winter wonderland. Think fairy lights, chunky blankets, and candles that smell like sugar cookies or pine forests. There’s no such thing as too cozy in the winter!
Mood Boost: String some faux ivy or flowers around your mirror for a dreamy winter garden vibe.
6. Winter Proof Your Hair
Cold air can be harsh on your locks, so show them some extra love. Use a leave-in conditioner and silk scrunchies to keep frizz at bay. Also, hats are a must—but make it chic with a beret or pom-pom beanie!
Hair Flair: Add a touch of glitter spray to your hair for winter nights out—because you deserve to sparkle.
7. Move Your Booty (Even When It’s Cold)
Winter is prime snuggle season, but don’t forget to move! Indoor yoga, dance sessions to your fave playlist, or even a brisk walk in the snow will warm you up and lift your mood.
Motivation Tip: Treat yourself to cute workout gear that doubles as loungewear—because who says comfy can’t be stylish?
8. Channel Your Inner Snow Queen
Winter is all about finding magic in the small things. Go ice skating, snap aesthetic snow pics, or cozy up with a rom-com marathon. Romanticize your life, babe—you’re the main character!
Vibes: Picture yourself twirling in the snow with a fluffy scarf, latte in hand. Dreamy, right?
Winter isn’t just a season—it’s your chance to shine in layers, cozy corners, and all the warm drinks your heart desires. So grab your fuzzy socks, fluffiest blanket, and make this cold weather your most stylish and comfy era yet!
What’s your go-to winter survival tip? Share it below, and let’s spread the cozy vibes!

Bringing more Mark and Joke comparisons because there are SO MANY.
This post will be about posture, and the way War works his characters to be perceived differently purely by the way he stands on his two feet.
Oh, the perfection with which he prepared both of these characters is out of this world.
Let me illustrate:
Tumblr media
Joke, when he stands, stands taller; leaves no room of doubt he’s the chillest, coolest, most confident person, and cares very little how people are perceiving him at the moment,
Tumblr media
as long as he feels awesome. [his insecurities are not rooted in the way he looks or the way strangers perceive him]
Tumblr media
His head is kept high when he speaks. If you watch the show again, you’ll realize he’s always looking ahead and up unless he wants to go unnoticed,
Tumblr media
and meets people’s eyes unwaveringly as he works his way through his elaborated ruses to get what he wants.
Tumblr media
[We’ll talk more about how that changes with the object of his affection, Jack, on later posts]
Mark, my beloved, on the other hand, stands to look smaller than he is; not on purpose, of course, as it’s a deeply rooted thing within the character itself.
He does not look people in the eye for prologued periods of time, more of often than not looking away when he speaks to anybody.
Yes, that gradually develops as the show progresses, but shyness is an essential part of this character.
Tumblr media
His posture is not completely relaxed; it’s slightly tense which casts light into the character’s personality:
Mark wants to be standoffish and cool, but his innocence and sweet, gentle demeanor are truly his worsts enemies.
Tumblr media
He tries, though, throughout the entire show, to make it happen, but breaks off of it the moment someone (Vee or Mark’s dad) does or says something that awakens strong emotions.
When that happens he fails, because Mark cannot, for the life of him, hide his true feelings.
Tumblr media
A stark contrast to Joke, an absolute master in hiding who he really is.
All in all, Joke’s posture comes from a confidence rooted in a combination of maturity and not giving two single flying shits
Tumblr media
And Mark’s posture comes from a confidence rooted in a combination of innocence, self-esteem and guts.
Tumblr media
War has done a hard deep dive in both characters; created entirely opposite personas and made both Mark and Joke have so much depth and detail to them a million more things could be said about them.
There are hundreds of little details that War has added to each of his characters. He truly has thought about every single mouth twitch down to a T.
Every head movement, his micro expressions, and even the way he speaks, even though it’s the same language, the same words.
Everything about these two characters is completely opposite. And yes, the fact that they are both making opposite fashion statements adds a lot of weight to their differences, obviously, but that’s not enough at all to create what War has created.
Just imagine eighteen year old Mark in Joke’s crop tops and feeling incredibly self-conscious, and twenty (five? six?) Joke in Mark’s fancy, neatly tucked-in dress shirts and wanting nothing more than to take them off. (Joke has worn that type of clothing before only while pretending to be someone he isn’t, so it does not count. When he’s himself, he opts to wear all baggy items)
I could go on forever, guys, but this post is already too long, so I’ll just say one more thing:
I’d die for this man.
More on these things later, I guess!
Thanks for reading, remember to be nice!

My thoughts on the Iskall situation:
•This man is a bad person who has done horrible things to people without considering the consequences on the victims, on other members hermitcraft, on his partner, or even on the community.
•No minors were involved to our current knowledge. This has been confirmed by both Mumbo Jumbo and one of the victims
•To summarise what he has done, he has (with an unknown amount of people) made sexual, creepy, comments to them, invited them onto a different messaging app where it is more private, referred to said app as “for family and close friends”, cheated on his partner, and, not told the victims he was also talking to other people.
•He groomed and manipulated and lied to these people. Do. Not. Defend him.
•Stress is not involved to our knowledge, the current assumption is that she left hermitcraft for related reasons (leaving because of Iskall actions) but nothing has directly come out about her.
•Please do not go around saying “oh no, I thought hermitcraft was safe, what if ____ is next?” This is unhelpful, and forgets that these are people. If you haven’t noticed, the hermits clearly hate this. They have made that abundantly clear with how they handled the situation.
•This whole situation shows that hermitcraft is still a safe place. The way they quickly and decisively took care of everything proves it.
•I am so, so, sorry to the victims of this. You do not deserve to have to tell the entire internet about something so personal to you.
Louis McClung on YouTube made a video which better explains the entire situation with the evidence and statement for the people affected.

Firstly, it's such a shame that this has been the focus and not what a phenomenal player Barbra Banda is. She was crucial in leading Orlando Pride to both the NWSL title and the shield, including scoring the goal that won them the title. she has also scored 57 goals in 63 appearances for Zambia. Here's a YouTube video of her balling out for Orlando Pride
Secondly, its worth pointing out that the majority of women's football fans, at least that I see, support trans women. Some of the biggest and most important supporters of women's football are LGBTQ+ groups most of whom I've seen are explicitly trans inclusive. and terfs get really pissy when actual women's football fans point out that they blatantly don't give a fuck about women's football. One person's (Laura Woods) response to someone pointing out that she hadn't said a single fucking thing when a player (Maddy Cusack) had committed suicide because of the abuse she experienced at the hands of her (male) coach, she retweeted a post she made about the rainbow laces campaign several years ago, something completely unrelated. Nor have I seen any terf talk about what happened to reading, or the stoke city player who initially had to gofundme for her ACL surgery, or any of the other misogynistic injustices that occur in women's football

Eggs & Bacon
Simon Ghost Riley x Reader
SUMMARY: Morning after a eventful night Ghost makes you breakfast
CW: soft!Ghost(???), morning after sex, SFW, heartwarming, should be gender neutral(tell me if it’s not lol), domesticated!simon ghost riley
The first rays of sunrise had crawled through the window, casting a soft glow across the room.
You stirred, your body heavy with the memory of having slept so deeply, the scent of Simon - leather and the faintest trace of gunpowder - lingered in the air. You shifted under the sheets, feeling a smile tug at your lips as the events from the previous night flashed through your mind. It had been… perfect.
You stretched, cozy in the aftermath of a night spent in his arms, and just as you started to stand from the bed, you heard the sound of dishes coming from the kitchen.
You rolled out of bed and padded barefoot down the hallway. The smell hit you first, something delicious: eggs, bacon, maybe pancakes. You blinked, still half-dazed, as you reached the kitchen and saw him standing at the stove.
Ghost. Your Simon Riley. He was wearing his black t-shirt and sweatpants, his skull mask missing so only his ruggedly beautiful face remained. His back was to you, his large frame filling the space as he worked with surprising skill. The image of the hardened soldier who could take on any mission with cold efficiency seemed so wrong right now. Instead, the man standing in front of the stove-cooking breakfast-looked like someone ready to care for the person he loved.
Morning," you said, your voice still hoarse from sleep.
He turned, his face softening when his gaze landed on you. That rare, almost blinding smile was tugging upwards. "Morning," he replied, his voice low, gravelly, as though not to break the silence of the morning. "How'd you sleep?"
You smiled, crossing your arms and leaning against the doorframe. "Better now. You're making breakfast?
He nodded, turning back to the stove, where a sizzling pan of bacon and eggs was cooking. "Figured I'd take care of you. After last night… you shouldn't have to do anything today."
You raised an eyebrow. "You know you don’t have to do this for me, right?"
Simon shot you a look over his shoulder, eyes dark but soft in such a way that only he could manage. "I know you're perfectly capable. But I want to do it. You've been through enough. You've got enough on your plate as it is, the least I can do is help around.”
It was just a statement, but it meant so much more. He wasn't talking about breakfast anymore. He was talking about everything: the nights you spent apart, the missions he couldn't tell you about, the burdens he carried in the silence of the world. And here, in this moment, he was making sure you didn't have to lift a finger. It was just so… Simon.
"Well, you're doing a good job," you said, stepping closer, trying to hide the way your heart squeezed at the sight of him so effortlessly taking care of you. The man who'd walked through war zones, survived hell on earth, and now? Now he was making sure you had a hot breakfast.
"You should see the way I handle MREs," he said with a smirk, flipping the bacon with military precision. "But I've been practicing. Can't have you thinking I don't know how to cook."
You laughed softly, and leaned against the counter as you watched him work. "I've got to admit, I didn't expect this when I met you."
He shrugged, still looking into the pan. "I'm not always the guy you think I am."
There was a silent sincerity in his voice that would catch your breath. You knew him better than anybody, saw the parts of him no others ever would, and sometimes it still surprises you. His kindness, how he'd always make sure you had what you needed, even down to the smallest things-like making me breakfast after a night of passion-was something I hadn't expected when you first met him.
You stepped closer and slid onto one of the chairs at the kitchen table. "You're something else, you know that?"
Simon glanced over his shoulder, that rare smile tugging at his lips for the second time this morning. "Only for you."
He sets a plate in front of you: scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, buttered toast, and a warm cup of coffee. The smell was addictive, and one could tell he'd made it with care. Your stomach growled in appreciation as you picked up the fork.
"How did you make it so…. well?" You asked, cutting into the eggs.
"Like I said," he replied, his voice softer now, "I've been practicing.
You took a bite, savoring the flavors. “Well, I’ve got to admit, you’ve bested yourself.”
Simon leaned back against the counter, arms crossed, watching me with a look of contentment. He was so used to being the one giving the orders, the one who does the protecting, but this? This felt more him than anything. Caring, thoughtful… loving. He was letting you see all of him and you were falling harder every day.
You'd just finished breakfast, and as you looked up at him, your heart squeezed. "You really don't have to do this, you know."
He raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "I want to. Don't argue with me on this."
You smiled and put your fork down, rising to your feet to close the distance between you two. "You're something special, Simon Riley.
His gaze softened and he pulled you close, brushing his lips over your forehead. "Not special. Just yours."
And in that moment, you knew you’d never let him go. Because Simon, the soldier, a deadly lieutenant, the man who would fight to the death for those he loved - he was also the man who believed you shouldn’t have to do anything for yourself because he’d do it for you.
And you could never ask for more than that.

It'll Always Be Her Chapter III
AN: I'm back with the next part as a few people requested that I post today. Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas of how things should or will play out next.
To say the last few days were tense would be an understatement. Paige had always thought she was good at compartmentalizing, keeping her personal life separate from the rest of her world. But Azzi wasn’t kidding when she said she was done with the hidden flirting. If Paige thought the quiet smirks and whispered comments were bad, Azzi’s new approach was downright audacious—and she wasn’t the only one feeling the heat.
The first instance came after their season opener. The team continuing with tradition celebrated their victory at Ted’s, a local favorite known for its lively atmosphere, privacy, and amazing drinks. Tonight drinks were flowing, the music was loud, and the energy from their win had everyone in high spirits. Paige had just started nursing her third drink when a group of fan girls approached her.
"Paige, right?" one of them asked breathlessly, eyes sparkling. "You were amazing out there! We were totally screaming for you."
Paige smiled, her polite, down-to-earth demeanor shining through as she graciously thanked them. The conversation dragged on, though, and she found herself stuck between answering their rapid-fire questions and trying not to let her eyes wander too much. Yet, no matter how hard she tried, her gaze kept drifting toward Azzi, who was leaning against the bar near their teammates with a devilish grin as if she knew something like this would happen tonight. 
Azzi met her eyes and raised her glass in a silent toast, the playful gleam in her eyes promising mischief. Paige could feel her cheeks warming even more.
It wasn’t long before Azzi decided it was time to make her move. She slipped away from her spot at the bar and strode over, moving with a confidence that made heads turn. The fan girls didn't even notice at first, too caught up in their excitement. Azzi, however, made sure to grab their attention.
She leaned in, her voice husky and warm, "Hey, blondie. You look like you need another drink.” 
Azzi’s hand lightly brushed against Paige’s arm, sending a surge of heat up her spine. But it didn’t stop there—no, Azzi was determined to make a statement. She leaned closer, her body subtly pressing into Paige’s as she slid into the space between Paige’s legs, standing far too close.
Paige’s heart skipped a beat as Azzi’s fingers lightly traced the top of her thigh, just enough to make her skin prickle. "Seems like you’re the star of the night," Azzi murmured, her lips only inches away from Paige’s ear. "But I think you might need a break from all the attention."
The fan girls stared, their wide eyes flicking between Paige and Azzi, but Azzi didn’t care. In fact, she reveled in it, loving that only her touch could make Paige’s breath catch in her throat. She placed a possessive hand on Paige’s waist and leaned even closer, her lips brushing against Paige’s earlobe as she whispered, "I could make your night a lot more interesting, you know."
The fan girls finally took the hint and began to shuffle away, clearly flustered. Paige could barely even process what had just happened, her mind racing with confusion and excitement.
As the last of the fan girls disappeared into the crowd, Paige leaned back in her chair, trying to act nonchalant, but the heat in her cheeks betrayed her. "Well, that was bold," she said, the teasing edge in her voice covering up her flustered state. "Not worried about the rumors you’re about to start?"
Azzi smirked, her fingers still lightly grazing Paige’s arm, and she shrugged with an air of total confidence. "Let them talk," she said, her voice playful yet low. "It’s worth it to see you blush like that." She leaned in just slightly, her lips brushing against Paige’s ear as she added, "Maybe next time, you won’t be able to resist."
Paige’s breath hitched at the suggestion, her mind reeling. Azzi pulled back, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "You know I’m just getting started," Azzi teased, enjoying every moment of this. "You better keep up."
Paige laughed, shaking her head, but the truth was, her heart was racing. Azzi’s boldness was a challenge—and she knew that her counterpart always loved a good competition.
… 
The night was in full swing, the music pounding through the room and the mood light with laughter and a few too many drinks. Paige was feeling the buzz, her inhibitions loosening as the drinks went down. But there was something nagging at her—the sight of Azzi laughing and dancing, surrounded by people who were getting just a little too touchy. There was one guy in particular who kept lingering too close to Azzi, touching her arm, laughing just a little too loudly. It made Paige’s chest tighten with something unfamiliar, something she wasn’t ready to label yet.
But instead of stewing in frustration, Paige decided that it was her turn to be a little bold now. Her gaze locked onto Azzi across the room, and with a slight smirk, she made her way over to the crowd surrounding her. When she reached Azzi, she didn’t waste any time.
Azzi was holding court in the center of the group, laughing at something one of the guys had said. As Paige approached, she felt a sudden surge of confidence—alcohol and adrenaline mixing in her veins. She stepped right up to Azzi, cutting into the conversation with a playful grin.
"Well, well, look who’s the life of the party," Paige said, her voice a little louder than usual, enough to draw Azzi's attention.
Azzi turned, surprised at first, but her lips curled into a mischievous smile. "Says the campus superstar herself," she teased, her gaze flicking down to Paige’s hand, where she was holding a drink. Before Paige could react, Azzi took the drink right out of her hand, taking a sip as she looked up at Paige through her eyelashes with a glint of mischief in her eyes.
"Hey!" Paige laughed, a little taken aback, but the playful challenge in Azzi’s expression made her pulse quicken. "You gonna steal all my drinks now?"
Azzi shrugged, savoring the taste of the drink as she kept her eyes locked on Paige. "Maybe I’ll steal more than that," she said, her tone low and teasing, her lips curling around the rim of the glass.
Paige leaned in slightly, a flirtatious edge to her voice. "You’ve already stolen my attention," she said, her hand brushing against Azzi’s arm as she took a step closer. "What’s next? Are you planning on stealing my heart too?"
Azzi’s smile widened, and she placed the drink down on the table beside them, stepping even closer to Paige. "If I wanted to steal your heart, blondie," she whispered, her voice low and smooth, "I’d have to make sure you’re worth stealing."
Paige’s heart skipped a beat at the boldness of Azzi’s words. She hadn’t expected the conversation to take this turn, but the heat between them was undeniable now. "I’m not sure if you can handle me," Paige shot back, her eyes glinting with challenge. "But you can try."
Azzi chuckled softly, the sound sending a shiver through Paige’s spine. "I like a challenge," she replied, her gaze never leaving Paige’s. "And you, Paige... you’re definitely a challenge."
Paige took a step closer, closing the space between them, her breath hitching at the way Azzi was looking at her. "Maybe I like making things a little difficult," she murmured, her lips almost brushing Azzi’s as she leaned in just slightly. "Maybe I want to see if you can handle me too."
Azzi’s eyes darkened, the playful glint now tinged with something else, something heavier, as if the air between them had shifted. She didn’t back away. Instead, she closed the gap a little more, her lips just barely brushing against Paige’s ear. "You have no idea what you’re getting yourself into P," she whispered, the words sending a thrill through Paige.
Paige’s breath caught in her throat, and before she could respond, Azzi pulled back, giving her a sly grin. "But that’s the fun of it, isn’t it?"
Paige, still reeling from the closeness, tried to keep her cool but failed. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest. "Maybe," she said, her voice breathy but full of intent, "but you're not the only one who can play this game, Azzi."
Azzi’s eyes lit up with excitement. "We’ll see about that," she said, a knowing smirk tugging at her lips. "But maybe we should just leave the game for later."
Paige nodded, a little breathless from the flirtation, but she wasn’t backing down. "Later," she echoed, her gaze lingering on Azzi as they both stood there in the middle of the dance floor. The tension between them was thick, and neither one was willing to be the first to break it.
As the night wore on, the energy in the room started to calm. The music had softened, the crowd thinning as people began winding down. Azzi found herself sitting with Caroline in a quieter corner of the bar, nursing a drink and watching the others slowly slip into their own worlds. Caroline, ever the perceptive one, couldn't help but notice the way Azzi kept glancing toward Paige across the room.
"Alright, I gotta ask," Caroline said, her tone teasing but curious. "What happened with you two? You’ve been practically attached at the hip tonight, eying each other across the bar and yet... here you are. Not exactly at her side, huh?"
Azzi smirked, her gaze following Paige for a moment as the blonde chatted with a group of friends. There was a softness in her eyes, one that Caroline had learned to recognize in Azzi whenever she was looking at Paige. "You’re right," she said, her voice quieter now, the playfulness dimming just a little. "We’ve been close tonight. More than usual, even."
Caroline raised an eyebrow. "So, why aren’t you at home in her bed? Seems like that would be the natural progression from here."
Azzi exhaled slowly, her smile soft but sincere. "It would be, yeah. But as much as I want to go there... it’s not the right time," she explained, her eyes meeting Caroline’s with a mixture of frustration and understanding. "Paige is with Jess. And we both know that... well, we don’t want to do anything until she ends things with her. Jess thinks she’s her girlfriend, no matter how clear things are for us right now and we’re not the type of people to just ignore that."
Caroline nodded thoughtfully, taking a sip of her drink. "Yeah, but come on, Azzi," she pressed, her voice laced with amusement. "You two have been making it pretty obvious that something’s going on. I saw the way she was looking at you earlier. And don’t even get me started on how she’s been touching you all night."
Azzi’s lips curled into a wry smile. "It’s a game, Car. We both know what we’re doing. But as much as we can flirt and play this little cat-and-mouse thing... we’re not going to cross the line. At least not yet." She glanced back over at Paige again, her gaze softening as she watched the blonde laugh with her friends. "We’re both good people. And neither of us wants to hurt Jess. I want Paige. I really do. But we’re not going to let things get messy."
Caroline gave Azzi a long look, clearly understanding. "You’re being patient. I get it. But, come on. You’re not gonna let this whole thing with Jess drag on forever, right? You know you two are something. Don’t let it slip through your fingers just because of some messy situation."
Azzi nodded, her fingers tapping on the edge of her glass thoughtfully. "I know," she said quietly, a certain resolve in her voice. "I want this. I want Paige. But it needs to happen the right way. I don’t want to risk tainting something real with mess and confusion. If we’re going to do this, it has to be with everything in the right place."
Caroline leaned back, nodding approvingly. "Alright. I can respect that. But don’t let the waiting game become a trap, you know?"
Azzi chuckled softly, the playful edge returning to her voice. "For now, this game is enough."
As she finished speaking, Paige suddenly appeared at their table, looking a little tipsy but still as radiant as ever. She caught Azzi’s eye, and a smile tugged at her lips. "Hey," Paige said, her voice slightly more subdued now but still warm. "You ready to head back to my suite?"
Azzi’s heart skipped a beat at the simple words, and she couldn’t suppress the small grin that appeared on her face. She looked up at Paige, her expression soft and affectionate. "Yeah, I’m ready. Let’s go."
The two stood up together, the familiar buzz between them still crackling in the air. As they walked toward the exit, their arms brushed slightly, a silent reminder of the tension they had been building for days. They didn’t need words. They were content, for now, simply being in each other’s company, the promise of something more hanging in the air between them.
They left Ted’s together, side by side, their shared glances speaking volumes, neither one of them rushing anything, but both silently acknowledging that whatever came next, they were in it together.
The next time this tension was undeniably high they were in the weight room the next day.
Paige had always considered herself a pretty disciplined person. She was serious about her workouts, always focused, always pushing herself. But lately, in the presence of Azzi, everything seemed to blur into a haze of tension and unspoken words. The weight room, usually a place where she could clear her mind, was becoming a place where she couldn’t stop thinking about the girl across from her. And today was no different.
They had been joking around all morning, laughing and teasing each other in between sets, but there was something in the air today—something that made the playful banter feel a little too heavy, a little too charged. The tension was so thick between them that it almost felt like the air around them crackled.
“Alright,” Paige said, a smirk tugging at her lips as she clapped her hands together, “time to show you how it’s done.”
Azzi raised an eyebrow, her arms crossed, leaning back against the bench as she watched Paige with a confident grin. “You think you’re gonna impress me, huh?”
Paige chuckled and set herself in position, already feeling the adrenaline pumping. “You’d be surprised. You’ve been working with me for a while now. I think you know I’m full of surprises.”
Paige finished her set flawlessly and with a wink, she moved into position to spot Azzi for the bench press. The younger girl settled onto the bench, her focus immediately shifting to the barbell in front of her. But there was a tension in her posture, a sense that something was different today, even if she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
Paige's eyes lingered on Azzi’s form as she settled, her muscles flexing under her shirt as she prepared for the set. There was something about the way Azzi moved that Paige had always admired, but today felt like the perfect time to tell the younger girl this.
As Azzi lowered the bar to her chest, Paige adjusted her grip, hovering just above her. Her tone was light, teasing, but there was a hint of something darker underneath. “You’re doing great, Azzi. Just like that. You know, you’ve got such a beautiful form… it’s hard to concentrate when you’re looking at me like that.”
Azzi’s breath caught for a split second as she looked up at Paige. She hadn’t been expecting that kind of comment, especially not with so many people around. But the glint in Paige’s eyes made it clear that this was more than just a passing remark. The older girl was baiting her.
“Is that so?” Azzi teased, trying to keep her voice steady, but there was an edge to it now, something that hadn’t been there before. “What, you think you can distract me while I’m lifting?”
Paige smirked, her lips curving in a way that made Azzi’s stomach flip. “I think you might like it. You seem to like when I’m close. You’re doing so good though, but I might need to help you a bit more. Want me to talk you through it?”
Azzi’s eyes narrowed playfully, but the challenge in her gaze shifted into something more intense. “You’re not shy, are you?” she asked, her voice dipping into something lower. She was starting to feel the pull too—this was the game they had been playing, but today, it felt like it was about to break.
Paige’s voice was soft but provocative, right in Azzi’s ear. “I don’t need to be shy when you’re so easy to read. It’s not hard to tell you like when I get close.”
The tension between them thickened, the playful atmosphere from earlier now giving way to something far more charged. Paige leaned forward, a hand brushing Azzi’s shoulder as she hovered close, not letting go of her spot. She could feel Azzi’s body react under her touch, her chest rising and falling with the exertion of the set.
“Paige…” Azzi’s voice was barely a whisper now, but there was no mistaking the heat in it.
Paige smiled, the teasing edge never leaving her voice. “You know, Azzi, you’re really good at keeping things under control. But I’m starting to wonder how long you’ll be able to do that when I’m so close.”
The younger girl’s eyes flickered, caught between a flash of amusement and a deeper, darker desire. It was as if a switch had flipped in her mind, and now, she was just as bold as Paige had been. Azzi’s breath hitched, her eyes meeting Paige’s with a mischievous grin. “Well, I guess you’ll just have to find out, won’t you?” she said, a hint of defiance in her voice. She finished the set with an extra burst of energy, and Paige noticed the shift in her—the way her hands gripped the bar with more intensity, how her eyes never left Paige’s.
Paige couldn’t help the smirk that tugged at her lips. “Oh, I’m definitely going to find out. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure to keep an eye on you. Wouldn’t want you to lose control.”
Azzi laughed softly, but the sound was almost a challenge in itself. “You think you can keep me under control, huh?”
Paige leaned in even closer, the heat between them palpable now. Her voice was barely a whisper, low and teasing. “I think I can handle it. I’m starting to realize I might enjoy watching you lose control better though.”
The comment was out before Paige could think better of it. Azzi’s eyes widened for a brief second, caught off guard by the directness of it, but there was a flicker of something darker in her gaze. Paige was playing the game differently now, and Azzi found herself intrigued, maybe even a little rattled.
Azzi took a deep breath, gathering herself before speaking, her tone laced with a teasing edge. “Well, you’ve got me curious now. Let’s see who loses control first.” She pushed the bar back up with a confident grunt, her body moving fluidly as she caught Paige’s gaze again. “But don’t think I’m the only one who can push boundaries.”
The words lingered in the air between them, and for a moment, neither of them moved, as if the world outside the two of them had disappeared entirely. The only thing that mattered was the heat that surged between their gazes, the pulse of their shared breath.
Before either of them could continue down the dangerous path they were on, CD’s voice broke through the haze. “Alright, ladies, let’s move on to the next rotation.”
The interruption was almost a relief. Almost. Paige took a step back, her chest still rising and falling rapidly, trying to steady herself. Azzi, on the other hand, exhaled slowly, a sly smile playing at the corners of her lips as she stood up, brushing off her shirt with a nonchalant air. But there was still that charged look in her eyes—the one that told Paige everything they’d just experienced wasn’t done. Not by a long shot.
“Later, Paige,” Azzi said softly, her voice a teasing murmur as she turned to walk away, leaving Paige behind to wonder just how much further they could take this game before it consumed them both.

nowhere in my three word statement did I say criminalizing sex work was the solution. I 100% believe that many people end up with sex work being the only option because of abuse and broader structures in our society. Our world just doesn’t take care of people and citizens as it should. I never demonized sex- sex is fine and beautiful. I also never said women, I said “people”. (Though I realize the quote was about women.) The product of sex comes from people, (I am speaking specifically about prostitution. Not onlyfans etc) from our bodies, and I do find ethical issues with being able to buy someone’s body for a duration of time for sexual pleasure, especially when the person selling is there only because they have no other options. I never posed a solution for this issue, i just made a statement. there isn’t a world where criminalizing the sex industry would do any good for anyone, as people would just find even less safe ways to keep doing it.
I am, however, deeply concerned with a society that is willing to buy sex off of someone before offering an alternative, or trying to help that person make money in a safer way. I know not all sex workers would take those options, but I’m bothered by the fact that we have people who are completely okay with a system that leaves people so short handed that they have to turn to sex work, because it means that money can be made off of it. the amount of abuse that takes place within the sex industry is what makes me so angry that it exists in the first place. It’s all very dehumanizing. its exploitative, chosen or not. yeah, technically women have the right to sell sex. But how have we reached such a point where that’s seen and defended as being ethical? ESPECIALLY, when that woman is there because she had no other options?
I’m more angry at the people who see these people in the sex industry and see them as something to buy, to take advantage of. It’s not so much the workers who I take issue with, so much as the people who look at all of the broader implications of the issue, shrug their shoulders and ask for the price.
I’m sure I’m missing more nuance. I’m not trying to be a bitch; I’m literally a teenage girl, who’s learning.

Life series design ideas i'm gonna slowly work on (not series specific but i'm kind of developing an overarching garden theme accidentally)
Garden Life
rosy maple moth fairy lizzie with her polyphemus moth fairy husband joel hyping her up from the sidelines
Snail gem with a beautiful decorated detachable turquoise shell that expands into a cottagecore house
creaking tree BigB and sapling Scott as a willow and flower dryad each respectively
pearl could be a sparrow person or a human shepherd figurine (not sure on it rn) but her army of dogs could either stay (ceramic) dogs or be little caterpillars. she guards the sunflower patch
bdubs would make a great stoat/other mustelid, though the way he keeps his houses so specific reminds me of a little beatrix potter dormouse
mumbo and tango and impulse are all borrower-type tiny humans but they're all in your house chewing on your wires and taking apart your toaster for the heating coils and resistors and redstone
martyn is a boggart like in spiderwick chronicles, he likes making messes and mischief and leaving thumbtacks on chairs when he gets into your house
skizz seems like he'd be a little garden statue of a knight, something to match his chivalry, maybe he's a fountain statement piece
cleo seems more like a Lost Thing, like she's a barbie that got left in the dirt by the previous owner's child that you dig up when you're trying to plant carrots
jimmy is a canary that escaped from his cage one day and never looked back, he would tell stories about the inside of the house and the giant watching things that would have him sing for them but his voice is hoarse now so he doesn't sing anymore (and that's his choice)
etho is a fox. no notes i love that interpretation
rendog is a little action figure who got lost like cleo but remembers the child who would turn him into a tyrant king whenever he was played with
grian is a male cardinal (because the red obv) bird person who's a bit of a daredevil and who hits windows quite a bit
going to draw these and post them so keep an eye out, if you draw this (before or after i do) please @ me so i can see!

ONG I loved ur LSD I need more. Why were they in the room?why have Paul and reader sleeping together? How does the pack feel about this?….
I need answers 😩
omg thank youuu 🤭 ur questions will be answered hope you enjoy :)
L$D - reader x embry and paul x rachel
AN: for context, read: part 1 here this part is more or so the backstory that leads up to part 1. sorry if this story is too long :s
Rachel lounged comfortably as the afternoon sun was shining through the windows.
You lounged next to her. Rachel didn’t allow many people to be on her bed, but you both were very close.
One thing you liked about Rachel, was her openness. However, it was exclusive for those she handpicked to be in her life. Rachel enjoyed how you didn’t experience too much of life without her, she loved the curiosity and zest for life that you had. There have been instances where she had introduced you to things.
She was blunt. She didn’t care. That’s why your mouth was a bit open, not due to shock, but with what she said.
“We became open.”
“Huh?” you question her.
She makes a face that’s proving to you that she’s not lying.
“You could do that?” you ask her.
“Yeah.” she says as she laughs a little, “We agreed on conditions of course.”
“Do tell.” you say, itching for more information.
“I pick the girl. He picks the guy.”
“I guess…That’s fair.” you say.
You couldn’t imagine you and Embry being open. He’s all you’ve ever known. You felt the devotion from Embry to know that he would never go behind you. He told you everything. Sometimes, too much.
You also didn’t know, that imprints could do such a thing. Rachel must’ve seen the conflicted look on your face as she scarily answers the questions that was in your head.
“Paul is in the palm of my world. He just wants me happy. I’m the one who suggested it.”
You’re now in shock. Rachel being the one to give the green light was not what you expected.
“Guys usually are the ones I hear about suggesting open relationships.” you say, but then again, you were going off of the media you have consumed.
Rachel laughs at your statement.
“But, at least tell me why. I thought you and Paul were like…I don’t know, perfect.”
“I have needs as well. I like the feeling of not being tied down or feeling like I’m the reason the person who’s with me is tied down. I enjoy my bit of fun. Especially, since I’m still young.” she says.
“I hope it works out for you guys. You are my couple goals.” you say in a playful manner.
Rachel laughs again, “Who are you telling? You and Embry are already like a married couple.”
“Yeah right.” you quietly say as you wave her off.
“It’s true.” she says still chuckling.
You’re quiet and she notices.
“Hey, I’m sorry. I just think you and Embry are like the ideal imprint couple.”
You start thinking, “Hm…”
Paul came home. You couldn’t help but to watch them as they greeted each other. It was as if the talk that you and Rachel had was nothing.
“I’m gonna head back. Embry’s probably going to try to eat tv dinners so I have to make him something to eat.”
“Boooo.” Paul says in a teasing tone and Rachel laughs as she couldn’t help it.
“Yeah, yeah. I’ll see you guys later.” you say and exit out of their shared home.
You hear Embry’s fork clatter down softly and you look up.
“What are you thinking about?” he asks.
“Nothing, really.” you say but he’s not convinced.
“If it’s nothing, then why are you thinking about it?” he asks. You softly sigh.
“It’s only girl talk with Rachel, really.” you say.
He leaves it at that.
Rachel sings along to the radio, as she stops at a red light.
You were in the passenger seat, waiting to go the restaurant she had plans on going to.
A car, pulls beside her to also wait for the red light to change green.
You watch as the two exchange looks, before putting down their windows, exchanging phone numbers.
“Him?” you ask as you both follow the waiter to the booth you were walking to.
As you sit down, tell the waiter the drinks you both want, Rachel tells you.
“If anything, he can just eat me out.”
“Wow.” you breathe out. The waiter comes back and you and Rachel take a sip of the freshly filled drinks. You tell the waiter what you both would like to eat.
“Why not just have Paul do it? Don’t you love him?” you ask.
“I love that he allows me to do what I want.” she says with a smile as she placed the straw in her lips.
You don’t notice her, but she stares at you for a moment before changing the topic.
Rachel’s fingers type back and forth as she messaged the person who seen her at the red light. He was a bit corny. She sighed to herself as she lessened her sentences to him, feeling totally uninterested.
“What’s wrong with you?” Paul asks as he placed a kiss on her temple.
“This guy is lame.”
“I thought I was picking the guy.”
“You haven’t picked anyone yet.” Rachel says, showing signs of impatience. Paul lays back on his pillow.
“You won’t like who I pick.” Paul states as he grins a bit.
“Who?”
“I haven’t figured it out yet.” he says, “In the meantime, stop giving lames the time of day.”
“How do I know you aren’t doing the same.” Rachel teases as she fluffed her pillow.
“You know me.” he simply says. She couldn’t argue with that.
You and Rachel sat on Emily’s porch swing. You whispered to each other. The wolves were in the home and you both wanted some type of privacy from their supernatural hearing.
“I didn’t talk to that guy again.” Rachel whispers.
“I’m just curious. If you’re picking the girl, would it be a random stranger you would think is cute or what?”
Rachel sits back about as the swing swung.
“Someone I would trust. I know Paul and girls will think they can fuck him good enough to take me out of the equation.” she whispers but rolls her eyes at such thought.
“Do you think he shares the same fear?”
“Maybe. But, he knows I wouldn’t like..Leave him.” Rachel whispers.
Paul bursts out onto the porch and you and Rachel jump a bit.
“Yeah, what were you two doing?” he says as he flops right in the middle of you two.
“Being interrupted. What do you want?” Rachel asks.
“To see what you two were whispering about.” he whispers in a dramatic way.
“Nothing.” you whisper back as if you were telling a scary story.
Paul chuckled at this.
Rachel looks at you.
Embry comes out, smiling a bit when he sees you.
You rise and hug him.
“You ready to go?” he asks you. You nod and wave bye to both of them. Rachel watched as Paul watched you walk off with Embry.
Later that night, Embry snored softly beside you.
Your phone buzzed as you watched tv in the bedroom you two shared, you made sure the volume wasn’t distracting.
“I have a question”
“Oh god.” you thought in your head. It was from Rachel and you knew this would not be innocent question.
“I feel like I should be scared to know”
You type back.
Another buzz hits you as you read the message.
“Aren’t you at least curious to know how it feels to have experience to compare?”
You look to the sleeping Embry before typing back.
“It’s never really crossed my mind. I haven’t really thought of it too much.”
You wait for a reply but you don’t get one. You just continue watching your television.
That next morning, you and Embry ate before he had to leave for patrol.
“Can I ask you something?” you ask him.
“Sure. What’s up.” he answers and starts chewing.
“Would you…Hm…What would you do if I told you I wanted an open relationship?” you ask him.
He looks up from his food, “Is..That what you want?”
“No I- It’s just a thought.” you say.
You watch as he chews and thinks for a moment, “I mean..I would ask why you would want one of course. But, ultimately, I would want to know if…That’s what’s going to make you happy.”
You nod as you digest this.
As you and Rachel walked along the somewhat empty beach, you both fall into talk.
“I asked Embry what he would do if I asked for an open relationship.” you tell her.
“What did he say.” she says with a curious grin.
“He said he would want to know why and would want to know if that’s what would make me happy.” you tell her.
“But, would you?” she asks.
“Would I what?”
“Ask him for one?” she asks again.
You sigh softly, “I don’t know. Probably not. But, I am curious.”
“About what?”
You look to her before feeling a wave of shame, “You said something about that guy…Eating you out. Embry’s not into it.”
“Whaaat!” she says as she stops her steps to look at you.
“Rach, come on.” you groan.
“No, you come on. What do you mean Embry’s not into it.”
You shrug quickly, “I don’t know. Going down on each other is just…Something we just don’t do.”
Rachel scoffs, “So, what. You both do the same positions? All the time?”
“So what if we do. We’re both fine with it. It’s not like I’m missing out-”
“Okay, that’s enough. I’ve heard enough. Y/N, come on. The white light is what you’re missing out on.” she says with a hand held up and shakes her head.
You stuff your hands in your pockets and look into the distance.
“Look, don’t hate me after I say this.” she says.
You look at her.
“If I had to pick a girl for Paul, it would be you.”
Your eyes widen.
“Just hear me out.” she says.
“Rachel-“
“Just hear me out. I trust you more than anyone and..I feel like you should at least know what it feels like to have fun with sex.”
Your hands cover your face.
“Look, I’m not saying you’re going to sleep with Paul. It’s just how I feel at the moment.”
You waited at home for Embry to walk in, any moment.
Your mind kept thinking back to the conversation you and Rachel had earlier.
Your mind was uncomfortable but you did wonder if there was a way to spice up you and Embry’s intimacy.
You greet him with a hug and a sensual kiss.
“Hey.” he says softly as he looks at you. You lean back into another kiss.
He got the idea, kissing you back.
Before he did the usual of sleeking himself against your wetness before sinking in, you whisper to him, “Can you…?”
“Can I what?” he asks back, dripping in velvet.
You rub his arm to add onto the persuasion, “You know..Eat me out?”
He pauses and gives a look, “Where’s this coming from?”
“I thought it would be fun.” you say, “It’s fine. Just come here.”
You want him to lay on his back, which he does, but you move your body down on him.
He watched as you then try to put him close to your mouth but he catches you. “Y/N. What are you doing?” he says with a smile.
“I thought it would be fun.” you say, shrugging.
“Yeah, but…” he trails off, you picked up on his uncomfortable smile.
“Sorry. I’m sorry.” you say and kiss him on the face instead, trying to bring the mood back into the room.
He lets his hands caress your body, choosing to use his fingers, not his tongue.
He did the usual, but you didn’t come as hard as you usually did.
In Rachel and Paul’s home, Rachel talked to him as she brushed her teeth. He washed his body while she did so.
“I was on patrol with Embry. Apparently Y/N asked him what he would do if she asked to be open.” he says as the water runs down his body.
Rachel slows her brushing, “Really?” She already knew from you, but she had no idea that Embry would still think about it.
“Yeah.” he says laughing to himself a bit.
“How did he feel about it. Y/N told me she asked him and told me what he said to her.”
The water turns off and he grabs a towel.
“I feel fucked up but he didn’t know I was around, he kept picturing Y/N with someone else. How he felt? Horny as fuck.” he says snickering.
He left Rachel to have it sit on her brain.
Embry had a lot of things on his mind. He barely engaged in conversations at Emily’s.
He watched you and Rachel talk and laugh about. He then observed how Paul was also watching you two. Unwanted thoughts began to flow through his brain.
He wondered if something in you and Rachel’s conversation is what made you ask him to go down on you. He knew that type of talk to especially come from Paul.
As they all rise to move into the dining room to eat, Embry was snapped out his thoughts as Paul slapped him on the shoulder, “You coming?”
Embry shakes out his deep thoughts, “Yeah.”
Embry ate silently as everyone else around him was falling into the fundamentals of an enjoyable dinner.
You noticed his silence. You still made sure to snake your hand in his. Rachel noticed as well. You two would’ve bantered a bit about something if this was any other time. She didn’t say anything though as she continued her dinner.
You and Rachel were saying your final goodbyes to each other as Paul pulled Embry to the side. Paul tried to make conversation with him, but Embry was acting stand offish. Feeling like he didn’t do anything to him, Paul says, “What’s up with you?”
“Nothing, man.” Embry shrugs.
“I was just checking because you’re not acting like it’s nothing.” Paul says, clearly spending enough time with him to catch him in a lie.
Embry brings on a small grin, “Yeah, it’s nothing. I’ll see you tomorrow.” They both nod off to each other as each went their own direction.
You waited for Embry in bed. He climbed in and kissed you goodnight.
You rub his shoulder and press a light kiss on his neck. Saying it without hardness he lets you know, “I want to, just not tonight. I gotta get up early.”
You slump back and tell him, “Okay.”
You shake your head as you vent. You and Rachel were in a parking lot eating take out. You felt frustrated. It was in the spur of the moment. You couldn’t sleep because you knew that any other time, he would’ve stayed up anyways.
“Since when did he care that he had to get up early.” you say and remember the times where Sam chastised him about being late all because he would leave at the last minute.
“Paul did say he wasn’t like himself.” Rachel mused.
“Unbelievable. I don’t understand. Things were good but I don’t know anymore. With Embry, I knew everything.” you say.
“Well, just try to talk to him.” She says.
You closed the now empty container and had an epiphany.
“What?” Rachel asks as she’s watching you just rack your mind.
“I think it’s my fault.” you say and slump your shoulders.
“What? Why would on earth would you think that?” she asks.
“Things got a little..I don’t know, different since I asked him-“ you say and shake your head.
“Asked him what? What did you ask him?” Rachel asks.
You debrief Rachel about what happened when you asked Embry to go down on you.
“It’s okay. It’s nothing to beat yourself up over.” Rachel says.
“But, I’m the one who made things weird!” you exclaim.
“Did he say that?”
“No-“
“Then you didn’t.” she says deadpanning.
You go back to her home with her.
“Hey.” you both greet Paul as he sits in the living room watching sports. He mumbled a greeting back.
You follow Rachel up the stairs.
You lie your back on the mattress and stare at the ceiling.
“Stop thinking about it, Y/N.”
“How could I not.” you say.
Rachel rested her head on the hand of her bent elbow.
“I literally started bringing things up out of nowhere.” you say.
Rachel rolls her eyes, “Just ask him again.”
Paul comes in and shakes his head at Rachel. Rachel looks, “What?”
“Where’s my kiss?” he asks.
“Where’s my kiss?” she asks and mocks his greeting when you and her came in the door.
This makes Paul laugh and you look away and felt the bed dip and hear a smack from them.
You felt a brush on your leg and look and groan. You didn’t expect Paul to fully make out with Rachel. This makes both Paul and Rachel pull from each other’s lips as they laughed.
“Alright, Rachel I’ll see you later.” you say and move to stand.
“No. No. Okay, get out Paul.” she says. You chuckle a bit.
“How are you kicking me out of my own room?” he asks and gets even more comfortable.
“Me and Y/N are talking.” she says.
“Why can’t we all talk?”
“Don’t you have a game to watch?” you ask to him as you sit next to Rachel on the bed.
“They lost. Now, I’m bored.” he says.
“Not our problem.” Rachel says.
“You two passing secrets or something?” he teases.
“Yeah, it’s about how I can’t stand you.” Rachel says sarcastically.
“I caught you two whispering. I want in on the scoop.” he says.
You swallow and Paul immediately notices and mischievously chuckles, “Something’s up.”
“Nothing’s up. God, you’re so annoying.” Rachel sighs out.
“Alright. Ask who again?” he challenged, letting you both know it didn’t move past his ears as he came up the steps.
“None of your buisness.” you say but it wasn’t confident. Paul had fun with this.
“Who do you think I am?” he says shaking his head, still smirking.
You narrow your eyes at him.
“I can tell you something.” he says enticingly. Rachel playfully smack him on the arm.
“Don’t fall for it, Y/N.” Rachel says.
“Even you don’t even know what I’m about to say.” he says to Rachel and this makes her take a look a him. He wasn’t kidding around.
“What?” Rachel asks.
He chuckles as he looked at her and he then takes a look at you.
“I got back from patrol, right? But, with Embry.” he says.
“Okay, who cares.” you say and Rachel snickers.
“We talked.” he says.
“And?” Rachel says.
“And I want to know what you’re going to ask who again?”
You groan, “Just tell me. Quit fucking around.”
“No.”
“Just tell me.” Rachel says. Paul gives her a look and she rolls her eyes, “Just whisper it in my ear.”
Paul actually considers this but says, “This means you have to tell me.”
Rachel agrees and Paul sealed it with a pinkie promise and tells you, “Move, Y/N.”
You move to the near end of the bed, Paul places his lips close to Rachel’s ear. Rachel had a look on her face and you watch her face carefully. You were mad that Paul was a good whisperer because you couldn’t hear a thing he was telling her. She reacted subtly and this made you really want to know.
She looks at you as he sits back with a smirk.
“What?” you ask.
“Nope. Rachel, tell me.” he says.
“It matches up with what we talked about, Y/N.” Rachel tells you.
“I only asked Embry to… ya know…” you gesture in a down motion and say, “And Rachel only wants me to ask him again. Happy?”
“No, are you happy?” he says humorously.
You roll your eyes as Rachel covers her mouth, hiding her laugh.
“I would’ve never thought Embry didn’t like to get his dick sucked.” he says. You gasp as Rachel scolds him, “Paul!”
“How do you know that?” you question him. That was something that only you knew.
“I told you I was on patrol with him and I talked to him.” Paul says and dives into how Paul was coming back to him and Embry’s meetup spot. There was no signs of active threats in the part Paul was supposed to keep watch of.
Paul stopped moving once he caught a flash of what you two did the night before. He kept it hidden for the time being, but he felt bad when you looked excited but Embry didn’t want to go through with it. He then watched how Embry wouldn’t let you go further.
That’s when Embry thought about the discussion you both had over being open. That’s when the fantasies began.
Paul had to say something, “Just be open.”
“Dude, mind your buisness!” Embry says. He was caught off guard.
Paul then shows Embry how him and Rachel are open.
“You wouldn’t get jealous?” Embry questions as he walked through the woods with Paul. They been could’ve went back to Sam’s but, this was more entrapping.
“I’m made for Rachel, practically. She would choose me everytime.”
“Wow. I mean, I felt bad when I turned her down. I just can’t get into it. It feels too much like teasing…I don’t know.”
“Just think about it. It might I don’t know, create balance if you both want different things.” Paul says.
“So, what happens if Rachel picks a girl and you don’t want her?” Embry asks.
“Rachel is holding off, but I know her. She’s going to pick someone who she trusts the most.”
“Y/N would never.” Embry says with confidence.
“What if she agrees?” Paul asks.
“But, she wouldn’t.”
“But, you don’t know that. Why did she question you then?” Paul challenged.
Embry was stuck, “It doesn’t matter. Look, I’m glad that you and Rachel have your thing going on. But, me and Y/N are fine.”
Paul busts his lie, proving to Embry how he caught him secretly enjoying the thought of you having intercourse with someone else. While he watched.
“Fuck off Paul.” Embry says and continues walking.
“Just talk to her. Look, if she says yes, you could be there in there with us.” Paul says and leave him alone.
You just didn’t understand it.
“How come he’s never talked to me about this?” you wondered out loud.
“Just talk to him.” Paul says.
“Is it true?” you ask Rachel.
“I thought you would’ve figured it out when we talked at the restaurant.”
“Wait, you both talked about this, already?” Paul questions.
“Not like that. I told her it would be my pick of someone who I deem as the most trustworthy.” Rachel tells him.
You look at Paul. Paul looks at you.
“And then, you both are already familiar with each other so it wouldn’t be awkward.” Rachel says.
“I don’t know.” you say as you shake your head.
When you came home, Embry didn’t greet you at the door. You enter the room you both shared and he sat on the bed.
“What’s wrong?” you ask, “And don’t say ‘nothing’ ”
You sit next to him.
He actually looks at you.
“Would you do it?” Embry asks.
“Do what?”
He thinks of his words for a moment before asking, “What would you do if I asked us to be open.”
You sigh softly, “I would ask if that’s something you’re comfortable with doing.”
“Have you thought about it? You asked me about it that one day.” he says.
“I only brought it up because Rachel told me about what her and Paul had going on.” you admit.
“And then when you wanted to do oral.” he points out.
“I’m sorry, if I made things weird between us.” you say.
“You didn’t make things weird. I feel like I did.” he says.
“Why would you think that?” you ask.
“Because…I know you want me to go down on you and everything and you looked very willing and I feel like I ruined your mood by rejecting it.” he says.
“You didn’t ruin anything, Embry.” you say.
“But, would you want to?” he asks.
“Want to…? What?” you ask.
“Be open.” he asks.
Your breath hitched.
“I don’t know. What- What about you.”
“I would do it if you did it.” he says, “You like different things than me.”
“Oh.” you say.
“Would you do it…With Paul?” he asks.
You look at him. So Paul really wasn’t lying.
“Um..I don’t know. Maybe?” you say.
“It’s alright, Y/N. I would be there.”
You stand, “Like, in the room?”
He nods.
It kind of did kill the jitters of the idea of it. If Embry was there, nothing would go out of line.
Paul lay in bed as Rachel pulled the covers over herself.
“I picked someone.”
“Who?” Rachel says, barely paying attention.
“What about Embry?” he asks.
“Embry?” Rachel says and looks at Paul.
“Yeah.” Paul says and moved his eyes from the ceiling to Rachel’s eyes.
“Why him?” Rachel asks. She thought of Embry as innocent in a way. She felt like she would do more damage than good.
“Take the stick out of his ass.”
Rachel rolls her eyes, “Of course.” she continues, “Y/N would not let me touch Embry.”
“Just ask her.”
“Our friendship would literally go bye-bye if I asked her.”
“Fine. I’ll ask her.”
“No!” Rachel says.
“You won’t do it. What? How come you can pick someone but as soon as I do, you shoot it down.”
“I’m not shooting it down. I will ask, but if she hates me, I’m blaming you.” she says and lays her head on the pillow.
“She won’t hate you.” Paul says quietly.
“Why are you so quiet?” you ask Rachel as you sat in front her, eating a muffin that Emily had made.
“Yeah, is everything alright?” Emily asks.
Rachel looks at you, “I’m fine.”
You look at her. Oh, yeah. Something was not fine.
“We’ll be back Emily.” Rachel says to you as she tugs you out of the door.
You speed walk to catch up to her.
“What’s going on?” you ask.
“Remember that..Talk..That me, you and Paul had the other day?”
You nod.
“He picked Embry.”
You look to the side, “It makes sense.”
“Y/N.” she says in shock.
You look up, “What?”
“He said Embry.” Rachel says.
“I heard you the first time. Don’t you think it’s at least fair?” you say.
“I don’t want you to hate me for this.” she says.
“How do you think I feel right now? Embry told me he wants to be in the room when it happens.” you tell her.
“Really?” Rachel asks and you nod. Relief washes over her face and this makes you huff out a small chuckle.
“Yes.” you say.
“So, you don’t mind if..I’m there too?” she asks you.
“I wouldn’t expect you not to be in there. That’s your imprint.”
So it’s settled.
You sat next to Rachel on the couch. The boys came in from patrol.
“Where’s Paul and Embry?” Rachel asks the boys as she doesn’t see them come in.
“Went home.” Jared says with a shrug and greets his imprint with a kiss.
You and Rachel looked at each other.
You both rise at the same time.
“You’re not staying?” Kim asks as Jared wrapped his arm around her.
You shake your head.
“How much you want to bet they’re at my place?” Rachel asks you.
You chuckle at this as you both see the home come into view.
You follow her into the door and sure enough, both Paul and Embry sat on the couch.
“Hey.” you and Rachel say at the same time. They greet back and by the looks of it, they were in the middle of talking.
Rachel moves to sit right on Paul’s lap and looks at Embry. You saw the blush on his face and hold his hand.
“Did you ask her?” Paul asks Rachel.
“Yes. She doesn’t mind.” Rachel says while still looking at Embry.
“Embry doesn’t mind either. Right, Embry?” Paul asks him. Embry nods and looks to you, “Are you sure you want to do this?”
You nod slightly.
“You’re acting like I’m going to kill her.” Paul says. Rachel chuckles.
“You might. Before Rachel, on patrol I would see how you used to pound those girls.” Embry defends.
“That’s different. I care about Y/N, I didn’t care about those other girls.” he says as he looks at you.
Rachel gets up excitedly, “Alright, what are we waiting for?”
She pulled Embry up by his hands. She tugged in the bedroom. Paul has his hand out as he waits for you.
You take it and he pulls you up off from the couch. You let out a surprised noise when he picks your body up. As he held you, your face was close to his and he walked to where Embry and Rachel were.
You weren’t used to someone else other than Embry to feel on your body. You look to see Rachel holding Embry into a kiss. She was leading him. He let her.
You felt your chin being snatched in other direction. His lips felt soft and moved with such precision, you forgot that it wasn’t Embry that you were kissing.
It was euphoric as he licked and sucked on your tongue as your hands snaked through his soft hair. He moaned a bit in your mouth before moving your body to feel how hard he was.
It felt like a rush. You were sure that if you took drugs, it would feel like this moment. You were only a bit tipsy.
You look up to the body that was towering over you. The hunger in his eyes made your stomach do backflips. It was intense.
“You don’t have to be shy.” Paul says to you with a grin.
You allow yourself to feel comfortable as you lay back on his bed. He never would forget the sight.
He would never forget your taste as you squirmed on his tongue. His tongue flicked up as he gathered your juices that you kept producing.
You were panting and breathing hard as you plead and beg him, “Please, just please.”
“Please what?” he says as he circled your sensitive nub, staring down at your flushed face. He was going to drag this out as long as he could.
You groan at his teasing.
“Repeat after me?” he asks you. You nod a little.
“Paul.” he says and you repeat him, “Paul.”
“Please.” he says and you repeat him, “Please.”
“Fuck me.” he says and you repeat him, “Fuck me.”
He held you close as he held your sides in a strong grip. The sound of skin slapping filled the room as you both belt out noises of pleasure. He let you know how wet you are and you let him know good he feels.
You head rolls to the side as the thrusts were great.
Embry sat in a chair that was in the bedroom. Rachel rocked his world by the look of his face, she thrusts on top of him as he clutched onto her.
Your chin was moved back to have your face, face Paul.
“Look at me. Look at what you’re doing to me.” he whispers to you and slowly pulls himself out. You looked as he glistened below. You groaned quietly as he slowly stuck it back in. You heard your own wetness as you heard his own groans.
Embry kissed you on the side of your lips.
“Are you alright?” he asks you as you buried yourself underneath the covers.
“Yes, I’m alright. What about you?” you ask. You were very tired.
He makes a satisfied look and nods, “I’m alright. It went better than I thought it would be.”
“Yeah. Do you think things will be weird?” you question.
“Nah. I don’t think so.” he answers back.
He then speaks again, “Me and Paul will keep it from the pack to make sure it doesn’t get too weird.”
You nod as you sink further into the bed. You yawned and before you knew it, you were fast asleep.

OK, let's keep the discussion going.
Here's one aspect of AYS I haven't seen anyone specifically discuss yet: JK's mood bordered on being downright testy at times. Jimin called him out on it in Connecticut, Jeju and Sapporo even though it wasn't readily obvious to the viewer that he was in fact cranky, so it seemed maybe most of it was cut out by editing.
The one that shocked me the most was after the water pistol battle where Jimin was supposedly getting even with him and Tae after they squirted him mercilessly when he wasn't feeling well. They didn't really show what happened but Jimin all of a sudden apparently became the bad guy and Jungkook was saying "I'm furious!" wtf?? Dying to know the real story there!
Followed by when JK made his meal and invited the staff, who don't immediately come, then Tae said they should hurry up and eat before they get an earful from JK. And Jimin follows up saying JK is scary when he's angry (so they should comply). All in good fun... except when taken together with previous signs of cranky.
He chewed out Tae over nothing, menaced Jimin with chopsticks over nothing, my boy was so stressed!
In Sapporo, Jimin flat out asks him why he's so angry these days, and JK says he's just pretending for the show. Do we believe him? Would Jimin really not know if he was genuinely cranky?
Thoughts?
Ahhh anon I get where you're coming from but my perception of all of this was not really cut through, I think there is nuance to all of it so I can't make the definitive statement that Jungkook was "cranky" during AYS.
I felt him a little unsettled in CT at first, but I think it's because he was sick, because he was unsure about what would be the show, because he had missed Jimin a lot so he still had the frustration from the month before and also because he was just coming out from a very stressful schedule.
But it was only in the beginning afterwards it got easier.
In Jeju Jungkook was on edge for different reasons. In the first episode it seemed he felt left out from Jimin and Tae, which was not what he wanted for this trip. I'm speculating but I think they must have had a talk with Jimin because in episode 2 they had that conversation with Tae to remind him he was a guest and afterwards things were more smooth and jikook got more time together which seemed to ease a little bit of the tension. During the water fight there was this hidden bathroom where we couldn't see in and I think something happened in there that wasn't showed. His "I'm furious" was for fun. I just think Jimin pulled out one of his slytherin trick off camera.
Honestly I think JK is simply being his baby alpha self, he's always been this way.
In Sapporo it was just for fun. I think he believes him playing the baby alpha is entertaining for us.
So yes, I saw the tension at times, but it was not the generality either. I found Jungkook pretty at ease and relaxed and enjoying the moment too.
But many factors came into play.
They were also so close to military service and this could stress out anybody.
This plus his schedule plus the desire to spend real quality time with Jimin plus the "I want to be entertaining enough for the show, I want it to be a good show" so mostly he was just playing.
It's also in his character to be assertive and sometimes a little bit dominant but since we never really followed him over that long period of time interacting with other people it comes as a shock but if you looked at him closely over the years there always was little comments here and there about this part of his personality.
Of course here it's a bit blown out of proportion but I personally didn't find any of this very shocking.
If he was a bit on edge he had good reasons every time, it was not over nothing, and the other times it was for fun.
I enjoyed immensely Jungkook showing his authentic self during the show, he was chatty, he was excited, he was smiling a lot, he was still his protector self towards Jimin and having loads of fun with him.
So to be those parts where there was tension was not what I took out from the show from him.
Despite those little moments he was really, really happy and it showed that those trips meant a lot to him. "They're the best trips I ever had in my life"
I think he really enjoyed all of it, so those little moments are for me only a second thoughts because I think it doesn't really matter. That's not what he took from it. He didn't see any of it as bad, so neither should we I believe.
I think his baby alpha self is a charm of his personality. Jimin lets him because Jimin enjoys it a lot, it makes him laugh, it makes him blush, it's all a fun flirty game and it's not that serious.
Jimin didn't seem that fazed over his antics. He played along.
I think overall Jungkook was his sweet self and it was really a joy to watch.
But of course that's only my thoughts and opinion 😌
Thank you for your ask and take care anon 💜
