#THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN THANK YOUUU

[mimorobo]

could we get an Error drawing? I feel like your style could get his dramatic mannerisms so well!

Also I love all your art! You've definitely motivated me to get out of my art block.

Of course!! Error is ridiculously fun to draw!? So thank you for getting me to try this!!

I also realised how fantastic a pen is for drawing... Like... Why haven't I done this sooner?? Also colouring with markers. I did a lot of that with him...

(random coloured pencil drawing)

I actually really like Error, and can very much respect his love of knitting...

Hope you like these!! (Also THANKS SO MUCH!!! I'm glad I helped a bit with your art block!! Keep making stuff!!) :D

1, 3, 7, 8 about tog?

thank youuu 🫶!!

1. the character everyone gets wrong

i totally agree with you on (mostly) everyone getting andy wrong. and i don't even think i have a perfect take! but come on painting her as this heartless, angry, careless character is soooo wrong and far from the truth!

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

oh god i know there were so many ghsjdghdjdf i don't really remember one in specific right now? but it was probably something related to the prev answer, about andy not caring about the others or maybe all of humanity or something like that

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

hsgkjdfhgjhfg oh lovely question with a very obvious answer i think. definitely joe and nicky both. i liked them in the movie but then i watched fandom go insane and obsess about them in a way that fully made me black their tags lmao

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

statistically i think it's a common fandom opinion that joe and nicky were the best/most important part of the movie and that's 100% wrong in my correct opinion <3

[yaralulu]

This was like a mini interview; thank you so much for putting it together!! I really had to think for some of these questions hehe.

1. What are some of your favorite shows/movies?

Some of my favorite shows are: The Vampire Diaries, House MD, Interview with the Vampire,Greys Anatomy, Tell Me Lies, Criminal Minds and Hannibal. Lengthy list LOL.

2.What are your favourite books?

I only started reading books less than a year ago so I haven’t read much and nothing amazing really LOL. So this list is embarrassing to say the least BUT I’m working on it!! I’m a big fan of the “The Hunger Games” books, “The Serpent and the Wings of Night”, and ngl the first acotar book LOL.

3. What about movies?

I’m not huge on movies (more of a show person) but “The Hunger Games” movies have a very special place in my heart. A few of the marvel movies as well, specifically “Spider-man: No Way Home” and “Captain America and The Winter Soldier.”

4. Why is Tamcien your favourite ship over other ACOTAR ships?

Ok this this is something I can ramble about hehe. I absolutely love how complicated their relationship is and how despite everything they’re still trying to make it work. like the odds are completely against them but they refuse to let go of one another. They clearly hold so much love for each other and the amount of loyalty Lucien specifically has towards Tamlin just does something to me. I genuinely view them as two ppl who cannot exist without the other (and there’s a slightly toxic element to this which i thoroughly enjoy. SUE ME). I also love all the history they have together and how that history shows as they interact and when they talk about each other. They simply know the other person like the back of their hand. They need each other.

5. Do you ship Tamlin with other characters? What about Lucien?

I ship these two with half of the damn characters 😭. Tamsand/ Tamris/ Feylin. Elucien/ Luzriel/Lucnes. I’m a multishipper to my coreee.

6. Who are your non-ACOTAR otps?

I had to dig DEEP to remember some of these. Dazai/ Chuuya from BSD, Childe/Zhongli from Genshin Impact, Dabi/Shigaraki from MHA, Stefan/ Elena, Klaus/Caroline, Captain America/ Bucky (omg??? i’m unlocking memories), Levi/Erwin from AOT.

ok i’m done

7. What is a Tamcien premise you never got around to writing but is on your list?

Any scenario in which Tamlin shifts into a female or he shifts Lucien into a female and they have very hot sex 😄.The smut would be outrageously hot like walk with me here.

8. Which of your fics are you most fond or most proud of?

Is it naughty if I say something I’ve yet to post 🫣? bc it’s totally something I’ve yet to post but you’ll see it in two weeks time i swear!!

9. As a writer, what is something that you enjoy when reader other fics?

Good dialogue/banter!! Especially when it comes to characters like Lucien who have that sort of witty personality and comebacks. I love tension, whether it’s sexual or not. I want to be gnawing at my screen when I’m reading. Like fully giggling and kicking my feet. Or screaming and crying.

10. What is your favourite fanfic of all time? If you have many, please share them! For research...

This is my fav topic ever. I’m gonna list out the same ones I did for the tamlinweek post bc they really are my favorites!! Colors in a Dead Garden by fourteentrout (i think about this fic like 7 times a day no joke. cannot recommend it enough). Soap Bubble by SorcerySmithereens. Hedonism by A_ Chaotic_Human. A strange thing happened the night of the High Lord meeting by umthisistheonlyusernamenottaken

I feel like these will show you exactly my taste in fics fr.

11. What is a fanfic that surprised you? Why?

Am i allowed to say something that’s not tamcien or tamlin related bc…Rhysand Is The Most Handsome High Lord... by the_darkestminds takes the cake for sure. No words just read this for yourself.

12. What is your favourite NSFW dynamic? Any favourite kinks?

Everyone look away! I enjoy a clear dom/sub dynamic. Dirty talk is very sexy to me, whether it’s Praise/degradation I don’t have a preference. Bondage and exhibitionism is also very hot lol. Hair pulling, biting, light name calling. Yep.

13. Do you think you know the identity of your secret santa? hihi

GENUINELY NO CLUE. I had my guesses at first but nothing rn. I’m very very curious 🙏

14. Quick, if Tamcien adopted a pet together, what would they name it? Don't think, just name!

muffin (???? terrible name)

15. Do the same thing, but for a Tamcien baby, quick quick!

oliver (??? EVEN WORSE)

16. What about favourite anime? If you didn't name anime OTPs above, share them here too!

Ahh I love animes. Some of my favorites are: My Hero Academia , Given, Bungou Stray Dogs, Attack on Titan, Haikyuu!

17. Do you ever think of Tamlin and Lucien in lingerie?

Not until this very moment omg?? I think that’d be hot and I see the vision.

18. What's your favourite color?

Purple and pale pink!!

19. Do you have a Lucien or a Tamlin fancast?

I really don’t like thinking of them as real ppl in my head, it kinda ruins the experience for me LOL. But sam reid would be my Tamlin fancast but I honestly have never seen anyone who reminds me of Lucien.

20. Do you accept early gifts?

Ofc! I don’t mind!!

21. How willing are you to adventure with me with this gifts?

LOVEEEEEEE YOUR ZAUNDADS ART SM AAAAAAA ❤️💞❤️💞❤️💞💞❤️💞💞 saw the scene of them in ep 7 and first thought was “oh that one silco artist is going to go insane ab this” ajsbdhsbhsbs. love how u draw them sm. you get them. I officially bestow upon you the #1 zaundads truther award. you win.

The fact that two people have said that they thought of me when they saw AU zaundads gives me life. This is the reputation I want to have! To be the feral Silco simp and zaundads enjoyer. Hell to the fucking yeah

But tbh, I am merely mining in the zaundads mines, trying to find nuggets of gold to share with others, all the while a small crowd is booing me.

I wouldn't make this much art and have this much fun if people weren't people interacting with my art. I read the tags like they're my morning newspaper.

(Legit, when I saw Silco the first time I instantly had the "oh no. He's going to be my favorite" moment. And I was not wrong. Just look at himmmm)

[nerd-artist]

A soft Aloy/Nil for @kittleskittle

Truly an honor to draw for an amazing artist like you!! Thank you so much for purchasing this, friend 🫂

Your contribution was destined to the NGO Open Arms that’s helping in the field since the beginning and also to schools in need.

[carniferous]

okay hello i’ve come to offer a vague concept ❤️🤲 the first thing that came into my mind is like being in a car. and something being wrong w the car. which sounds so stupid but is hopefully vague enough?? also idk if i’m meant to specify a ship but (and you probs already know what i’m gonna say) ur bartylus genuinely changed my life and it’s always on my mind and im obsessed w it forever and ever and would die if you ever wrote them again (but also like. no pressure. i don’t wanna try and tie you down to one specific pathway) ANYWAY i hope this is vague enough but also not too vague that you’re just staring at me blankly rn… icl babe u really didn’t set any parameters so i’m kinda trying to spear fish in the dark here but im gonna stop talking now…. eagerly (but patiently!!) awaiting ur response <33

LMAO NOOO thank you so much this is exactly the level of vagueness i wanted!!! i simply need to let things cook in my beautiful mind palace before i can write + vague concepts work best for that

anyway i tried to do it justice for u. it's more barty character study than bartylus sorry but. also it's compeltely unedited!! do with that what you will xoxo

“I knew it,” Regulus murmured, a hand coming up to cover his eyes. He was slumped down in his seat, the lines of his face stark in the pale moonlight. The motorway stretched out empty and endless before them. 

Barty clenched his jaw and turned the key in the ignition once more. The engine sputtered loudly, just enough to give him some small shred of hope, before it promptly died for the fifth time. 

“Dammit,” he hissed, thumping his hand against the steering wheel. He turned to Regulus, “What?”

Regulus lowered his hand and glared fiercely. “I knew I was going to die in this metal box the moment you persuaded me to get in.”

“And yet, you still let me persuade you.”

“Barty.”

“What?” Barty grinned. “You’re not going to die, Regulus. Cars are only dangerous when they’re moving.”

Regulus scoffed. He looked about five minutes away from having a conniption—which meant that Barty had about three minutes of continuing to fuck with him before he got properly angry. His hands were clenched in the fabric of his trousers, and when he turned his face towards the window, Barty could glimpse the deep shadows under his eyes as they appeared under the light. 

He felt his heart soften, just a tad. 

“I have a plan,” Barty said.

Regulus rolled his eyes so far back that they disappeared into his skull: “Oh, joy. Another plan.”

“They’ve gotten us this far, haven’t they?” 

“Yes, stranded on the side of the road with you,” muttered Regulus. “Exactly where I want all my plans to lead me.”

At that, Barty felt a strange, wild sort of affection swell up within him. He wanted to lean over and bite the nape of Regulus’s neck hard enough to draw blood, wanted to crowd him against the door until all that bluster and exasperation fell away. But there would be time for that.

“Don’t you want to hear my plan?”

“No,” Regulus said sullenly. “I want—”

He stopped. Barty’s grin abruptly fell away. He reached over and cradled the back of Regulus’s head, firmly enough that he had no choice but to face him. Regulus kept his eyes downcast, an unhappy twist to his mouth, a sickly tinge to his face that the low light couldn’t hide. 

“Hey,” Barty said, and he curled his hand into a fist in Regulus’s hair. “Look at me.”

Regulus’s gaze flickered up.

He was a living bruise, a walking heartache. Two weeks ago, Barty had looked at him as they packed their things for the end of term, and he’d known that Regulus wouldn’t survive another summer in that house—not as himself, anyway. He knew it the way Sirius must have, before he left, and he understood. Better than he’d like to admit. Sometimes it was easier to pack your bags than to watch someone like Regulus tread water and insist that they weren’t moments away from sinking. 

In that respect, though, Barty was different. He didn’t care what Regulus wanted. He wasn’t going to leave him to drown. 

Besides. Barty was fed up, himself.

When he spoke, his voice was low and steady, and Regulus listened with wide, unblinking eyes: “We’re not going home. Do you understand? There’s nothing back there. Nothing. Forget it, Regulus.”

A beat of silence. Barty’s grip loosened, he made to pull back, and then—

“What about your mother?” Regulus asked with a horrible little glint in his gaze. 

“What about her?” Barty replied without missing a beat.

Regulus blinked. Barty almost laughed at him. Could have, at the idea that Regulus thought he’d trapped him with that. His mother, who’d wanted Berty out of that house perhaps even more than he himself did. Regulus could never understand that.

What he could understand, though, was the terrifying, exhilarating sensation of freedom. Of the surprising vastness of your own mind when it was vacant of everyone but yourself. Of sitting in a car stranded on the side of the road and becoming aware of your own mortality. Death was suddenly an end to something real and full of potential. 

After what felt like an eternity, Regulus asked, “What’s your plan?”

“I turn seventeen in five hours,” Barty said. “Once midnight hits, the Trace will disappear. I’ll fix the car then.”

“You don’t know how to fix it.”

“At least I know it’s called a car and not a ‘metal box.’”

“You want us to spend five hours in this thing?” Regulus said, as though catching up with his own disbelief.

“Technically, seven hours,” said Barty. “We still have to make it to Bath. And then, once we pick up the twins…”

“What?”

“I don’t know,” Barty shrugged—a loose, slouching thing. He noticed Regulus’s eyes track the motion with nothing short of predatory glee. “Orgy in the metal box?”

“I hate you.”

“You love me,” Barry cajoled, grinning from ear to ear. “Why else would you run away with me?”

There was a long moment of silence, in which Regulus gazed, baleful and petulant, out at the road in front of them and Barty gazed at him. Already, he was more animated, more tetchy, more acerbic than he’d been just days ago. The cobwebs slowly clearing from his eyes.

Sometimes, Barty recognized Regulus like the slant of himself in a shard of glass. But other times, Regulus was just very beautiful. Barty wondered if there an element of vanity in wanting him, to the prideful joy he got out of fucking him out of his own head. The idea that he could press Regulus down hard enough to mold him back into himself. 

On very rare occasions, he wondered if he was like his father. If the only love he knew was what he learned from the voice in his head as it puppeted his limbs about. If that presence was more himself than he was. A normal person would look at it with revulsion, would see complete and total control as a firsthand abomination.

But it was because Barty knew the abomination firsthand that he knew also the complete, total, clean satisfaction of such control.

“You were hardly the first to ask,” Regulus said mildly.

Even in the darkness, Barty could see the flush travel down his neck. He grinned and, without another word, reached over and unhooked Regulus’s seatbelt.

“I didn’t ask,” he replied, just as mild.

Chapter 10 of The Plum Calendar is up!

In this chapter, Reigen and Serizawa finally have a talk. In the end, they’re wet, cold, covered in mud, one of them’s bleeding and they’re both halfway deaf. But to find out how that happened, you’re just gonna have to read the very final chapter of The Plum Calendar.

” Like I said, aside from the constant overhanging threat of being eaten, it was one of my better vacations to date.” The fact being, it was one of exactly two vacations Reigen had taken in his entire adult life, and the other one had been pretty severely dampened by a very predictable bout of salmonella. ”Besides, you, uh, definitely did your part,” he said, looking the other way. ”You’re a pretty smooth talker, when you wanna be. And you’re not a bad kisser, either.” Reigen didn’t have time to reflect on what a stupid, idiotic thing that had been to say, because he, along with all the woodsy debris on the ground, was being launched a good few meters up into the air by some unseen psychic force.

The Plum Calendar has been a fic about pretending to be engaged to the secret love of your life so a 200-year old ghost won’t marry him and keep him in the ghost dimension forever. But it has also been about not being good enough, about the concept of deserving, about what it means to be a liar, and whether or not that sort of thing is innate.

For those of you who have been reading along, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I can write 30 000 words of someone else’s sappy feelings, but I can never express how much I’ve loved having you read my story. And for the rest of you,  maybe check it out? I don’t know, you might like it.

[tenderhooked]

Sending you good vibes. And flowers if you’d like them, but mainly good vibes

🌼🌸🌷💐🌻🥀🌼🌺🥀🌸🌼🌺💐🌻

weeeps!!! thank you my love <3 sending you good vibes right back. for you, a bit from the aromantic matt murdock fic!!

The needle pinches flesh, a dull prick—and that’s how Matt realizes that he’s lost a bit more blood than he thought, maybe, because the world’s gone a bit distant and amorphous and not quite fully-formed—and Foggy’s voice is equally pinched as he says, long-sufferingly, “Yes, Matthew? If this really can’t wait till after I’m done patchwork-quilting you?” “Nuh,” says Matt. His tongue fumbles against the soft insides of his teeth. “S’important.” “Mm-hmm.” “I don’t like Karen,” Matt says, and the words feel big in his mouth but when they reach the open air they seem to crystallize and grow fragile, like fine-spun glass. One light touch and they’ll fall to pieces. Foggy’s fingers have stilled, the warmth of their pressure going cool and stiff. Matt’s face twists. “Foggy?” “You don’t…like Karen,” Foggy echoes. “Our friend, Karen?” Matt shakes his head. He doesn’t think Foggy gets it, and that’s frustrating; even more frustrating is the fact that he’s not sure how to properly explain it. He tries to push himself up on the couch cushions and gets a firm hand to the shoulder for his efforts. “Don’t like her,” he tries, again. “Don’t…don’t love her.” “Matty, I think you’re going a little loopy—” “No,” Matt says, fiercely, “I don’t love her, Foggy,” and his brain must decide that’s enough out of him, because then everything slips through his fingers and falls away into silence.

[autism-swagger]

OKAY IM CAVING A LITTLE BIT!!! From one obsessor to another..... I am asking for the biggest info dump on AoS possible w\out any major spoilers 🙏

OH BOY!!!!

I love you for this thank you so much 🙏

Putting this under a read more because it's long.

Okay SO the official plot of Agents of SHIELD is as follows: The worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division) employs an elite team of agents who investigate strange occurrences around the globe and beyond. Its members -- each of whom brings a specialty to the group -- work to protect those who cannot protect themselves from extraordinary and inconceivable threats.

(Totally didn't copy and paste that from google.)

The first season takes place in 2013, very soon after the events of the first Avengers film. Over the course of the first episode, we're introduced to our main cast of characters.

(There's more main characters introduced in later seasons, but this is just the season 1 cast.)

(Also it's important to note that everyone in this show is allergic to first names, and most characters just go by their last name.)

PHIL COULSON

A very high ranking member of SHIELD, Coulson has been tasked with putting together a team of specialists to travel the world, responding to threats before they become Avengers level bad. He's the leader of the team, and was first introduced in Iron Man 1. He was a reoccurring character in the first couple MCU movies, before being killed in The Avengers. Except surprise! He's not actually dead! The official story is that he was resuscitated shortly after his death, but you slowly start to realize that something isn't quite right... Figuring out what really happened is one of the main plot lines of season 1.

MELINDA MAY

She's the pilot for their plane (aka the Bus). When Coulson recruited her to the team, she was working behind a desk at SHIELD, but before that she was a field agent. Some mysterious past event traumatized her so badly that she left it all behind, but over the course of season 1 (and beyond) she slowly starts to heal and reenter the field.

GRANT WARD

He's recruited to the team as the specialist, aka the person who does all of the cool spy stuff (espionage, infiltration, combat, etc. May was a specialist before she left the field.) He's grumpy and more than a bit of an asshole, but he has a surprising amount of depth and nuance to him. I actually think he's a pretty cool character.

JEMMA SIMMONS AND LEO FITZ

Two halves of a whole, to the point where everyone just calls them FitzSimmons and refers to them as if they were one person. They're the scientists of the team. Fitz is an engineer, and Simmons is a biologist/chemist. They both incredibly smart and incredibly autistic. I love them dearly. Unfortunately they are European 💔 (Br*tish and Scottish respectively.)

And finally,

SKYE

The only member who was not already a part of SHIELD before being recruited to the team. Skye is a genius level hacker who is part of an activist group known for releasing government secrets for the good of the public. She's caught by the team in episode 1 and brought in for questioning, except surprise! They only caught her because she let herself get caught. She even knows more than they do, which kicks off the main plot of season 1. Her entire backstory is a big unknown, especially to her. She was left in front of an orphanage as a baby, and is trying to figure out where she came from. It's a major plot point in the first 2 seasons.

This show is legitimately so good, and you don't really need to know anything about the mainline MCU to follow along.

It's about the found family! It's about the love changing everything and nothing at the same time! It's about the unluckiest bastards in the multiverse!

[sissiarte]

Just wanted to say I got my order from you today, thank you so much! Everything looks so lovely and the thank you note Lucanis doodle you included is SO cute, I'm treasuring it forever🥹❤️ Hope you have a nice day!

AAAAAAA!!!! Thank you so so much!! It makes me so happy that you liked it and took your time to write a message, I apreciate it a ton 💖💖

[bluelolblue]

Hi there!!! What do you think about John and Santino going for a drive together? I know John wants to show Santino his favorite Mustang. Maybe he takes him to the racetrack, or maybe just joyriding out in the countryside. How do you think Santino reacts? Is he having fun, or is he grabbing onto the sides of his seat because of how fast they're going? Or a little of both?

Image Source

AYY HI HI HI!!

WOOAH this is a beautiful HOT prompt!!!

They both have a thing for cars THAT'S FOR SURE

I'll probably write a longer fic based on this in the future because DAMNN this sounds SOOO GOOD

Okay, I also don't know much about cars, but I did a little bit of research on the Mustang, so hopefully, it's correct enough! Trust the process AHAH!

Thank you SOOO MUCH for this delicious ask! I immediately got inspired when I saw the ask, and I had to write another short fic! 💙🖤💙🖤

This gave me summer vibes for some reason... how about a hot steamy car ride? Hehehe 🤭 and enjoy everyone's favorite passenger princess Santino 👑

It gets slightly suggestive ;)

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

The New Mustang "Baby"

It was a hot summer day, the air felt heavy, especially since it rained the other day. The only thing Santino wanted to do was lay around, have the air conditioning on and try not to die of heat. Dog laying next to him, either leaned against him or on his back. Poor thing was trying to cool himself off, too.

Santino was starting to doze off on the bed when John suddenly came in.

“Hey, love. Oh, are you sleeping?” He stopped halfway, just noticing that he had his eyes closed. Santino made a tired muffled groan as he stretched a little. “Not anymore,” he mumbled.

“Ah, sorry. I just want to show you something,” John said and crouched down to pat Dog who came to greet him.

“What?” Santino asked, sitting up and just then noticing some sweat on John's forehead and neck.

“Where were you anyway? And why are you so sweaty?” Sure, it was really hot outside so maybe it could be because of that. But, John was up to something for a few days already, making some calls with Aurelio and doing some paperwork.

“I'll gladly show you,” John smiled at him. Santino sighed and got up from the bed, following his fiance outside.

“You've been acting weird these days, and you decide to do this on the hottest day? Please, whatever it is, let it have fucking air conditioning,” Santino complained on the way outside.

John chuckled, he actually likes when Santino is like this. It makes him look even cuter.

John proudly showed off his new black Mustang he had bought. “This. 1967 Ford Mustang,” he tapped on the windshield. Santino was impressed, it's a beautiful car, there's no doubt. He's also very fond of cars, and became a fan of Mustang's himself because of John.

“Don't you already have one?” Santino asked, walking around the car. It looked similar to the old one, maybe with a slight change.

“Nope. First one is from 69, this one is older, 67,” John explained, admiring his new beauty. “It's really pretty. How did you even get it?” Santino was actually getting curious, it's not every day that you see that type of car.

“You know I always find anything for you,” John smirked, kissing him on the lips, pulling him closer by his waist. “Oh? Really?” Santino teased, wanting another kiss, but John started talking. “Everything that's mine is yours,” John smiled, ruffling Santino's hair a little.

“Now this baby can go pretty fast. Do you think you can handle her?”

Well, Santino was more caught off guard with words John used to describe the car.

“Baby? Her?” Santino asked, crossing his arms, actually looking confused. He was a bit offended. “I don't like it anymore,” he sighed dramatically, a little protest he does when John pisses him off. Or he just acts like this because John then does anything he asks for.

“Aww, c'mon. She's not my only baby. When we try her out, you're going to love her,” John said softly, taking Santino's hand in his hand and placing a kiss over his knuckles.

Fuck. Whenever John gets romantic like this, he can't help himself, immediately blushing. And it was getting even hotter outside, meaning it can affect Santino's mood to make him even more irritated.

“Fine. I'll give her a chance. Just please tell me she has air conditioning,” Santino said, getting in the passenger seat. His eyes immediately caught the way John gripped the wheel. Okay, now he's looking forward to this ride.

Maybe Santino was expecting a relaxing car ride, but John had something else in his mind. At least for some time.

He wanted to show him how this baby goes fast. He did that with his precious 1969 Mustang, so he has to do the same with this one.

And it always kinda pushed Santino against his seat.

“Cazzo, John. Not this again,” Santino tensed up, actually trying to adjust himself on the seat. John chuckled, speeding up a bit more.

There is a road near by where usually no one drives on. In the countryside, John can really show off his new car and the full speed. Santino held onto the seat, cursing under his breath. It takes him few minutes to get adjusted to this speed. Meanwhile John is having the time of his life.

“Relax. It's not the first time I'm taking you on that ride,” John glanced over at him, patting his thigh. Santino huffed in annoyance, “You're having way too much fun with this. I thought you'd take me on a nice ride,” he glared at John. “I don't wanna die before we're married,”

They're literally getting married in a month. It's not gonna happen if John continues to make these sudden sharp turns with that speed.

“Nothing bad's gonna happen, love. Trust me,” John was having an adrenaline rush, but he knows Santino is safe with him. And Santino does trust him.

One part of him liked this. It's fun, it's full of adrenaline and it makes them both energetic. And adrenaline like this has another affect on Santino. Especially seeing John like that.

After few sharp turns and speeding up more, hearing the engine purr, Santino relaxed enough to look outside the window. It felt nice, this new car “baby” is definitely something.

“There you go, see? You relaxed, good job, baby,” John praised him. It's always fun to see Santino’s mood change quickly. That's why he loves this man so much.

“Are you talking to the car or me?” Santino smirked at him, and felt how John finally slowed down a little. “You. You're so funny like this,” John said softly, “That's why I want to marry you,” he squeezed Santino's knee.

“You're driving,” Santino smirked a little. Whenever John touches him, no matter what situation, it makes him feel things. “Not for long,” John replied, now driving in a normal speed.

Santino enjoys driving with John. Yes, he prefers the calm rides, but he let's John have fun and experience adrenaline. He loves how John gets happy about it and how proudly he feels when his cars go fast. Showing it off to his fiance.

Eventually, John stopped near a little forest, under the shadows of the trees. “So, what do you think of her?” John asked and looked at his fiance. “She's fast, and I like how she sounds. I could get used to her,” Santino said, wiping off sweat on his forhead.

“I'm glad, baby,” John leaned over to kiss him. “Do you wanna drive her back home?” he asked. Before that, Santino had some other plans.

What is John expecting after he's sweaty and how it's glistening on his muscles and neck. It was making Santino thirsty.

“Yes… however,” he paused, his hand slipping down near John's crotch over the fabric. “It's fucking hot here, isn't it?” John could tell where this was going.

He's engaged to Santino D'Antonio. Nothing surprises him anymore. He accepted him like this and Santino really opened his eyes for anything suggestive.

“It is. I even put the air conditioning on, but it's still not enough,” John let him touch him like this, leaning again to kiss him. “Mm… then move your seat back,” Santino breathed against his lips after the kiss.

And John did that he was told, Santino quickly climbed on his lap and attacked him with kisses. All that adrenaline really got Santino going.

When will they return back home? Like this… It could take them few hours. The Mustang is new, hopefully it could take them riled up like this.

Hey Kanene, I have an amazing Poppy Playtime tickle fic idea for you: A sequel to your spectacular fic where the player gets revenge on DogDay by giving him the same treatment he gave them.

Heya heya! Aaaa that is such an adorable idea! Gonna be honest tho I think Dogday wouldn’t last too much in the game afwftecehsuwgyw I feel like he would try to at the beginning, but as the light tickles and the teasing just keep going his joy would get too much to contain and he would explode in giggles even if you weren't actually tickling him at all! Imagine how cute! The antecipation just got to him so much that he can't stop squirming, entire body shaking with both his laughter and how much his tail is wagging around like crazy. A gigantic smile in his face and an uncontrollable fit of squeaks and snickers and only a few pokes here and there are enough to keep him in that hysterical fate. Glinting eyes watching your every move and still doing exactly nothing to stop as you decide to finally tickle him silly. So yeah! I don’t think the game would take too long to end but fun and laughter would just be there still :D

Tho, that reminded me of an idea of a tickle game that appeared to me in a dream (literally akvafwjwvege) and I've been wanting to write for years: a game where the tickles starts at your ears and ends on your toes, teasing and tickling every tickle spot in between! The person has to hold their laughter as long as they can because the moment their barrier break and they laugh then all the spots that were left un-tickled are a free game to be tickled by the ler as much as they both want! :D

I'm not very good at explaining but let's say that the ler starts tickling the Lee's ears and that is fine, they can keep their giggles in! That is not a so bad spot! And then they go to the neck, shoulders, armpits, ribs.... but! The moment the latch on the Lee's laugh they can't keep it anymore and start to laugh! So every tickle spot from the sides to his feet are a free game to tickle and all the above are not :DD which can bring interesting scenarios of the lee laughing before the ler pass across their fav tickle spot or they asking for the ler to go back and tickle them there! Oh, and ofc the lee wins if they manage to not laugh until the end and then it's the Ler's time to giggle and blush :D

Anyway, really like this idea and I like to picture that Dogday has super ticklish ears so he would probably lose even faster in this one but ajegtevekevete I don't think he would be bothered at all, I mean, you saying that he gets a fun bonding moment between him and his angel, laughter, happiness, comfort, playful fun AND tickles? He is heaven

For Talk Shop Tuesday (IF ITS NOT TOO LATE!!!!), I have two/two and a half questions.

The first is that do you write chronologically (ie chapter 6 after chapter 5), or do you write some scenes early just to get them out of your head? And if so, have we seen an example yet?

Also, for TTYE, have there been any lore elements/enemies you just wanted to use, but ended up discarding them because they just didn't fit?

ABSOLUTELY NOT TOO LATE it's always Tuesday in my heart and you are always welcome in my askbox <3

I write in absolutely bonkers order. In fact, the scene that closed out the most recent TTYE chapter was one of the earlier ones I wrote! It changed a lot from when I first wrote it, but it's been kind of a guiding star in how I've been navigating Kaiba & Jounouchi's relationship and where I wanted to go with their sort of parallel arcs (using our favourite fail archer as a fulcrum of sorts). There's another one I wrote very early on involving Midna that probably won't show up until the last few chapters :) I do tend to write section by section, though. For TTYE I wrote Book 1 all together, then each section of Book 2 I wrote as a chunk. Basically I just vomit out absolutely all of my ideas and the scenes that I need to have happen, then I go through and put them in a reasonable order and edit! And cut some usually...

OH MY GOD YES. I was dying to use Kalle Demos. DYING. My favourite boss of all time and I'm crushed I couldn't find a good place to jam it in. I love that evil funky plant. Ditto Stallord, my beloved bone monstrosity :(

Answered for Talk Shop Tuesday!

oh i am very curious which yttd routes did you play first :O? (mine was alice/shin <- this was literally because i was hyperfixated on alice + i was playing it with my friend who was hyperfixated on shin.)

oho... i believe my first route was true logic! (reko + shin) -- i'd pushed the fake reko, because my view on the whole 'doll v. human' thing is. well. humans will always be preferable if they're still alive, though even after death it's a shaky trail to follow. of course, while alive they can still be manipulated & gaslit into certain things, but the AIs can be changed on a very fundamental level with the intention of deceiving someone they care for (whether they mean to or not; mishima, for example, whose values weren't necessarily changed, but just shifted to see those he would've cared for as enemies), and the idea of them being so easily reset - to me - makes it more difficult to view anything you do with them as permanent. which, while that may be something worthwhile for some (sara w ytts, hiyori w shin ai...), i find scarcity to be something very important & i just hate the idea of desecrating who someone was after death. what you see as the ai will often have a very tangible effect on how you perceive the person post-mortem as well, which isn't fair to you or them, regardless of how genuine they believe they're being.

or, well. that's the gist of my thoughts on it x']

in any case! i do wish i could've kept alice alive, but this was a 'no resets' run for me & i still wouldn't have changed my answer here... sorry reko ai.

as for shin, i chose him primarily because my sister (kid) really enjoys his character & i was very intrigued in seeing where he'd go once pushed further than this. i felt terrible killing kanna for this, & realized during her death (i. started crying also <3) that if i were in this situation that i'd never be able to work w someone who enabled kanna's self-sacrificial nature. which shin evidently echoed, rendering any logic behind the choice null, ironically because i failed to take into account the emotional attachment between them all.

& of course the influence this has on ch3-1... where sara had very obviously sacrificed dolls for her allies before, it just makes it tasty...

however! as for my current routes, i think i favor true emotion (alice + kanna) -- i really wanted to know more abt alice before he died & i was surprised it was even an option so early on. i also enjoyed seeing alice getting after gashu outright + i think he deserved to have that personal chance in getting after hiyori again... even if the realization he's become a 'real murderer' (he had still pushed hiyori w intent to kill, you know...) is held against him here.

and, in terms of character development, upon reflection: i really do think i'm more interested in seeing kanna truly overcome that desire to push herself aside for others' benefit... it'd be so much more fulfilling to me, with what i'm searching out, in a game like this where pushing forward really is the only choice you can make...!!

as for both, they don't get the focus i wish they could've in ch3-1, but i nonetheless find it a more interesting route going forward, even if i still don't agree w the choice made to keep alice alive x'] the implications for sara's character in either route are really fun to consider :D
