Oh hey it’s the anniversary!
First off, 22 years of kh how are we feeling about that?? Good? Hopefully good
Here to just kinda talk about what this series means to me, because it really is very near and dear to my heart. I’m certain that when I look back on my childhood and especially my teen years I’m going to think of Kingdom Hearts. The love I have for this series is kind of nuts (thats… nuts) and no matter how many times I can be frustrated with the stupid lore, or dumb decisions made for characters, or the fact that games keep getting delayed, it comes from a place of love.
I’ve also met some of my best friends through KH (shout outs to the KC discord server, yall know who you are <3) and of course I would meet the best people through a game about friendship and having one of the most iconic lines be “my friends are my power”. I guess that gives me a moment to talk about why these characters mean so much to me. While I will admit Nomura isn’t the best at giving all characters equal time in the spotlight when many may deserve it, the characters that do get time are just incredible. Sora is obviously the best example of this, this happy go lucky kid who just wants to help people, but Riku and Aqua are also just some of the best characters. Riku has his multi game long struggle with the darkness, and Aqua has dealt with so much hurt and trauma that I hope will get explored still (Kairi and Aqua game where they maybe go into how being in the RoD effects her more???)
Of course people gravitate to this series, these characters are amazing. Roxas and Xion’s fight for identity, Terra’s fight with the darkness that leads him to his doom, the mystery behind characters like the Master of Masters and Luxord. Gahhh I love the characters in these games so much
I really think about this every year, I worry I take this series for granted and that my constant theorizing and thoughts of shipping have ruined it for me. I don’t think they have, I think it’s just a way of keeping myself engaged especially with the complete lack of news. And it’s frustrating to not get anything at all, but I hope maybe we’ll get literally anything news related today. Apparently the games are going on sale again, I guess that’s something?
Anyways, I hope you all have a great day. I am going to now go wish news into existence by wearing everything kh I own and hitting people on the head with my keyblade

ᵕᵕᵕᵕ୨♡︎୧ᵕᵕᵕᵕ
Through tears, I stared blankly at my phone. My eyes had been glued to my lit up screen for the past two minutes — unmoving, and unable to register what I was reading. Even with blurry vision, Chris’ last message to me was seared into my memory.
Chris: Ffs Y/n, just shut up. I said I’ll get there when i get there jesus.
Just as my brimmed tears finally spilled over, so did the water I was boiling on the stove. The immediate steam and sizzling noises pulled me from my phone, and frustrated for more than one reason, I raced over to the stove and shoved the pot off of the element; leaving the boiling pasta noodles to sit in the water. Just looking at my failed attempt at dinner brought on a new level of pain, as it was a reminder of what I hoped that the night could be.
Chris, my boyfriend of almost one year, was supposed to be coming over tonight. I had been super excited, because both of our schedules had been especially busy lately and we hadn’t been able to spend much time together over the past three weeks, plus I had some good news to share with him about my work. I had wanted to make the night special, so I had decided to cook one of Chris’ favourite meals — chicken alfredo — to surprise him with once he arrived.
He was currently stuck at the warehouse for a merch meeting with Nick, Matt, and his manager, and he had told me that he would come over and spend the night once he was done there. That was a few hours ago, and I had been patiently waiting for an update from him until about thirty minutes ago, when I sent him a simple message asking if he had any idea when he would be done at the warehouse. Little did I know, that singular message would cause a massive storm to erupt.
Y/n: hey babe! just wondering if you have an idea on when you can come over?
Chris: Not rlly sure
Y/n: okay…rough estimate maybe?
Y/n: just have some things i need to get done before u get here hehe
Chris: I’ll get there when I get there.
Y/n: uh..is something wrong?
Chris: No why
Y/n: ur being kinda mean???
Chris: No I’m not
Y/n: ok
Chris: My god Y/n I don’t have time for this rn
Y/n: i just said ok
Y/n: you go ahead and go back to your meeting
Y/n: i was just asking for an update, that’s all.
Y/n: didn’t realize that was such a horrible thing.
Chris: Ffs Y/n, just shut up. I said I’ll get there when i get there jesus.
Even though I hate to admit it, this wasn’t the first time that Chris had been an absolute asshole to me lately. Just last week, he had started a fight that ended with him hanging up the phone on me; only to call back a little while later to apologize. And then a few days before that, he had put zero effort into making time for me when I had tried to make plans for us to go to the movies. And during all of this, he has been incredibly dry over messages. It had been bothering me for a while now, because to me it was clear that he was losing interest. I knew that our relationship would be far from perfect going in to it, considering Chris had never been in a real relationship before me, but deep down I hoped that it would always be as perfect as it was at the beginning. Unfortunately for my hopes and dreams, his actions — or lack thereof — were shattering.
I wasn’t some oblivious girlfriend either; it was clear to me that Chris was going through something. I knew that for a fact, but every time I tried to get him to open up to me about it all, he shut me down with lame excuses: “Oh, I’m just tired,” or, “I’ve just been stressed lately”. I figured that he just needed time, and that eventually he would come to me and explain exactly what had been going on so that I could help him through it.
But now, after his hurtful words to me tonight, I was seriously considering my other options. I had been in far too many toxic relationships in the past, and had learned that I deserve more than what I had been accepting. I wouldn’t let myself be Chris’ punching bag anymore, and I knew right then and there that I had an incredibly painful task to do.
Allowing myself to be overtaken by my build up of tears, I slowly walked into my bedroom; turning off the lights and covering myself with my comforter. My shoulders heaved as I let the tears stream down my face; my brain accepting what I needed to do but my body rejecting it in every way possible. Through the tears, I pulled out my phone and sent a quick text to Chris — telling him that I was tired and that he might as well not come at all tonight, but we should talk tomorrow — before curling into a ball and wallowing in my own sorrows.
I stayed in the exact same position for what felt like ages; allowing myself to get all of the emotions out now so that when I had to do what I had to do tomorrow I could do so without breaking down so hard. Eventually, my tears slowed and I felt my burning eyes begin to grow heavy. Sleep was beginning to overtake me, and as I gave into my exhaustion my mind filled with scenes of the nightmare that I was going to have to face tomorrow.
ᵕᵕᵕᵕ୨♡︎୧ᵕᵕᵕᵕ
I was startled out of my sleep by the sound of keys jangling from the direction of my front door. Disoriented, it took me a moment to be overtaken by the feeling of dread that came from hearing that noise. The only person who had a key to my apartment was Chris. Before, hearing his keys at my door filled my stomach with undeniable excitement — now, my stomach did anxious flips knowing what had to be done.
As I heard the door open and close, I rolled over so that I was facing away from my bedroom door and glued my eyes shut; pretending to still be asleep. I heard his soft footsteps on the other side of the door as he wandered through my dark apartment, before a hushed “shit!” broke the silence. After a few moments, I listened as his footsteps grew closer and closer to my bedroom door, and as I heard it slowly creak open, I braced for impact.
The room stayed silent, though I couldn’t really say that for sure since I couldn’t hear anything above the sound of my own racing heart in my ears. I did my best to stay completely still, though it felt like every part of my body was vibrating; waiting for his next move. Suddenly, I felt a shift in my mattress as his body leaned against it, and physically jumped at the feeling of his hand on my shoulder; shaking it gently.
“Y/n, wake up.” He spoke in a faux whisper, and, even though I had been pretending, I felt my body grow hot in anger that he would have the audacity to wake me from my sleep after showing up to my apartment uninvited. However, my body still not understanding that it wouldn’t belong to him much longer, I shot up from my place on the bed and searched for his eyes. The room was pitch black, but I could sense exactly where he was in front of me.
Rubbing my eyes, I searched the bed for my phone, checking the time to find that it was already nearly 2 a.m. I felt the mattress shift once again and watched his faint outline as he sat on his side of my bed. “Y/n, you left the stove on.” He was still whispering, and his sentence ended in a slight chuckle; clearly oblivious to the decision that I had made on my own just hours before.
Too heartbroken to really care about the stove, I shrugged my shoulders. “Whoops.” Was all I said to the silent room. “What happened? You fall asleep in the middle of making dinner or something?” His voice was still light-hearted, and was far from a tone that matched his previous texts to me. It made it so difficult for me to remember what I had to do.
“Turn the lamp on please.” I said simply, using every ounce of strength in my body to keep my tone monotonous. Chris stayed still for a moment, clearly thrown off by my behaviour. “Uh, okay.” He finally said as he leaned toward the bedside table closest to him and switched on the warm-toned light. After allowing my eyes time to adjust to the sudden brightness, they immediately fell on him.
Oh, my Chris.
His beautiful blue eyes were so kind and bright, his long hair was wet and messily draped across his forehead, and his matching oversized sweat set made me want nothing more than to curl into him and breathe him in. He stared at me blankly for a moment, clearly beginning to register that I was upset, before finally speaking. “I’m really sorry about earlier, baby. I had been in the meeting for hours and was getting really stressed out.” I felt the lump in my throat begin to grow. Some variation of that exact sentence had been the same excuse he had given me each and every time he had hurt me over the past few weeks, and it had lost its sincerity long ago. So, instead of giving into his cheap apology, I sat up in my bed and faced him; taking a deep breath before speaking.
“I have to tell you something. And I need you to let me say this without interrupting, or else I’m scared I won’t be able to go through with it. I’ve had to say this for a while now, and now that we are where we are I know it has to be done. So please, let me say it, okay?” His light eyes were focused intensely on me, he was clearly trying to figure out where this conversation was going. But finally, he swallowed before tentatively nodding his head. “O-okay.”
I closed my eyes, feeling my lower lip quiver as I tried to find my footing on this conversation. After taking a shaky breath, I finally found my voice. “I can’t do this anymore, Chris.” Immediately, my attempt at getting all my tears out of the way earlier proved to be a failure; because as soon as the heavy words left my mouth I broke down into sobs.
Over my crying, I heard Chris’ disbelieving voice. “What do you mean you’re done with this? With what? Me?” His voice cracked slightly as he spoke, clearly being hit with the same emotions that I was. I stayed silent — my eyes screwed shut as I wrapped my arms around my torso; doing my best to comfort myself. “Y/n, please tell me what you’re talking about.” He pleaded, and I felt him scoot closer to me on the bed; placing a hesitant hand on my knee.
After catching my breath, I wiped my tears away and opened my eyes to find his frantically searching my face like an uncertain creature. “I know you’re going through something right now,” My voice was coming out nearly silent, but I continued, “And I tried so hard to be there for you, I really did Chris. But you won’t talk to me! Instead, you’ve been taking out all of your frustrations on me and treating me like absolute shit. Do you really think that’s okay?” I fought the lump in my throat as I got my words out, his shattered face no help in that department. Frantically, Chris shook his head. “No. No, it’s not okay, baby, and I’m really sorry. But please, please don’t do this.” His tone tugged at my heart strings as his desperation grew more and more transparent.
Shaking my head and closing my eyes, I shut him down. “Can you tell me why you’ve been acting the way you have?” I knew my question was pointless before I even asked it, but his silence confirmed it. Releasing an ironic chuckle, I continued. “I promised myself that I would never let another man treat me badly. I’ve put up with it far too many times, and no matter how much I love you, Chris, I can’t allow you to speak to me the way you have been lately.”
I opened my eyes and felt my heart sink at his ghostly expression, clearly on the verge of losing his shit. I brought a hand up to his cheek and stroked it for a moment, and as I did he closed his eyes and let a few tears fall. “I want you to get better, I really do. But I clearly can’t help you, so you need to do it on your own.” My own words felt like a stab in the chest, and I couldn’t help the tears as they streamed down my face. “Come to me when you’ve worked through your shit, and we can see if we can repair things. But for now, I need you to leave.”
At that, Chris’ eyes shot open in a panic and he immediately grabbed onto my leg. “No, Y/n, please. Don’t do this.” I turned my head away from him as his desperation became too much to bear. His hands traveled across my body in anguish, clearly losing all control of his emotions as the reality of our situation began to set in for him. His body slid off of the bed as he dissolved into tears against my comforter. Still having the instinct to comfort him, I scooted towards the edge of the bed, where I let my legs stretch out beside him as I ran my hands through his beautiful curls.
“Please, please baby, I swear to god I can’t do this shit without you.” He wretchedly pleaded with me, clutching my leg and trailing distressed kisses along it. I looked up at the sky, too pained by the scene that was playing out in front of me. “Chris, please, I need you to go.” I begged him, needing to put him out of his misery so that I could hurt in private. He maintained his grasp on my leg, sobbing inconsolably against it. I gave him a moment, in which he slowly began to regain control of his emotions. I watched as his sobbing grew quieter and his breathing slowed, before finally watching as he pulled himself up to his feet; the weight of our conversation evident in the way he held himself weakly.
He glanced down at me quickly, his blue eyes red and puffy, before turning away in what looked like shame. In utter silence, he turned and began walking slowly in the direction of my bedroom door. With his hand on the door knob, he paused for a moment. “I’m sorry.” His words were so quiet I could have easily missed them, but the sincerity cut through my heart like a knife. That sincerity hadn’t been present in any of the other apologies he gave me, and I was gutted that it appeared too late.
And then just like that, he was gone. I felt all the air leave my chest at the realization of what I had just done, and let my body fall back against my bed as tears once again poured down my cheeks. I couldn’t help but immediately question whether or not I had done the right thing. Was I a horrible person for abandoning the man I loved when he was so clearly dealing with something? Did I allow my fears of repeating my past distort my current reality? Were the things he said to me really that bad?
I was pulled out of my tormenting thoughts by a soft voice coming from my doorway.
“My meeting today wasn’t about merch.”
That was all that he said. That was all it took for my heart to begin to beat for him again. One small hint of vulnerability. Feeling humiliated internally, I sat up on my elbows and found him hovering in the doorway. “Talk to me about it Chris.” I sounded exacerbated even to my own ears, feeling frustrated from all of the overwhelming emotions that the evening held. Tentatively, he walked over to the bed and sat beside me on the edge, arms resting on his knees. After clearing his throat, he began to explain. “The meeting today wasn’t about merch, it wasn’t really about anything to be honest.” Confused, I waited in silence for him to continue.
“A few weeks ago, Laura brought up the idea of going on another tour. A European tour.” He paused for a moment. “Nick and Matt immediately agreed and wanted to start planning everything so that we could do it this summer, but I said I didn’t want to do it.” I watched the back of his head, slightly shocked by his words since I knew that he had enjoyed the previous tours so much. “We would be overseas for a month, and I didn’t want to be so far away from you for that long. So I told them I didn’t wanna do it.” He took a deep breath. “Now, Matt and Nick are super pissed at me. They’ve both been giving me the silent treatment for weeks outside of the few times when they’ve just tore me a new one. And sure, we’ve all fought before, but never this bad. It’s been going on for so long, and I feel like I’ve lost sight of everything without having them be there for me.” His voice grew thick with emotion, and I fought the urge to cry along with him.
“Things have gotten so bad between us, that Laura forced us all to come in tonight to basically have a supervised argument. We sat there for hours, Y/n, just screaming at each other. And we got nowhere. I stood firm in what I wanted and so did they, so that’s why it went on for so long. And that’s also why I have been treating you like a complete dick lately. Because even though you had no clue what was going on, I think a part of me was kinda blaming you for all this shit. And I know that wasn’t fair, I really do. I just didn’t know how to tell you all of this because I’ve never been in a situation like this before.”
He turned to look at me, grabbing at my hand that was lying dormant in the space between us. “And I’m so, so sorry that I treated you the way I did. You didn’t deserve it. At all. But please baby, please don’t leave me. Because if you do, I will be completely lost. You are my anchor, and I need you to be there for me.” Tears rolled down my face as his voice cracked in desperation. “And I swear, baby, I won’t treat you like shit ever again. If you can’t believe me, and if you’re really truly done, I’ll understand. But please, Y/n, if there’s any part of you that believes me, please don’t leave.” He dropped his head into my lap, wrapping his arm around my waist and gripping onto my oversized t-shirt. Out of instinct, I brought my hand to his face and began stroking it softly; wiping away his tears as I did.
We stayed that way for a long time, both of us sniffling, heaving messes. I couldn’t lie, his honesty truly impacted me. I knew that he had to have gone against every single one of his instincts to finally tell me what had been going on in his life, and the fact that he did meant so much to me. I knew that Chris was extremely reliant on his brothers being a constant in his life, and couldn’t even imagine how lost he must feel knowing that they’re against him. His problem was much more severe than I thought it would have been prior to him opening up, and I felt an overwhelming amount of empathy for him. I knew that his poor treatment of me — as wrong as it was — had been completely out of character, and as I sat there stroking his soft cheek, I decided that I would believe him.
“Come up here.” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. Immediately, Chris lifted his head off of my thighs and sat up, his face inches from mine. Without a moment of hesitation, I leaned forward and engulfed his lips with my own. He immediately reciprocated, and both of our tongues worked in unison to lap up the salty taste of each other’s tears. Chris leaned forward, encouraging me to fall back against my pillows as he continued his passionate assault on my lips. His mouth travelled down my neck, where I shuddered as I felt him place sucks and nibbles sure to leave a trail of purple bruises. His body was warm on top of mine, and I had never before felt so present with him; so aware of his every movement.
He moved down my body, stopping briefly at my chest to remove my shirt, before continuing down below my waist. With his tongue, he created a path from just below my belly button to my right hip bone, where he left another purple bruise; causing my skin to break out in goose bumps. Lifting my hips, he wasted no time in pulling my boy shorts off of my body and leaving me completely bare. He continued to leave gentle kisses along each square inch of my body surrounding my core, but making sure to leave the place where I needed his mouth the most completely untouched.
I began to grow impatient, my body temperature increasing as my body filled with arousal. As he placed a kiss on my inner thigh, I bucked my hips up in frustration; practically begging for contact. Noticing my agitation, Chris almost immediately obliged, and I gasped out in pleasure as his tongue began working its magic against my clit. With each hand holding up my thighs, Chris swirled his tongue relentlessly against my bundle of nerves. I struggled to keep my body still as his movements continued, and failed miserably once he inserted two of his fingers into my core. “Fuck Chris, t-that’s so good.” I moaned out as his tongue and fingers worked my cunt in harmony. The wet sounds of my arousal grew louder and louder as I began to approach my orgasm, and in reflex my hands tangled in his hair; doing everything I could to keep him exactly where I needed him.
“Gonna cum, baby.” I cried out, and his encouraging hum against my clit was enough to get me there. My back arched off of the bed as my body began to convulse. To keep me in place, Chris took his free hand and placed it firmly on my lower stomach; causing me to scream out in pleasure. His mouth and fingers continued to push me through my orgasm, and didn’t stop even after my nerves became over sensitive. “C-Chris please. Can’t take anymore.” I struggled to get out the words, but he listened. Detaching his mouth from my core, he dragged his body back up my own and came face to face with me.
With the glean of my arousal still on his lips, he kissed me so deep I felt my lungs inflate. I could taste myself on his tongue, and my eyes nearly rolled to the back of my head from the intensity of the moment. I broke the kiss for only a moment to pull his hoodie over his head; relishing in the feeling of his bare chest against my own. Through his sweatpants, I could feel his bulging member press against my pelvis, and I reached in between our bodies and pulled his waistband down along with his boxers. Now completely free, his cock dribbled pre-cum down my stomach. With my hand still between us, I collected what was left of his fluid along his slit before slowly stroking my hand up and down his swollen shaft.
His breath hitched as I continued my movements, and he thoughtlessly bucked his hips into my hand to increase the friction along his trembling member. My hand twisted around his dick for a few more pumps, before I slowly guided it down toward my entrance. Once Chris felt the heat of my core at the tip of his cock, he looked down at me with darkened eyes — still slightly puffy from his previous tears — and dropped his jaw as he began to slide into me.
I gasped at the feeling of my walls stretching around his sizeable girth, and released a breathy moan as he bottomed out. Laying on top of me, he grabbed both sides of my face in between his hands and held it firmly as he began thrusting into me. His eyes never left mine as his hips rolled into me, and I watched in ecstasy at the pleasure visible on his face — as I’m sure he was doing to me. Our bodies smacked together in a steady rhythm and the wet sounds filled the room, adding an additional sensation to my arousal.
“I-I’m so sorry, baby.” Grunted Chris through deep thrusts. “It’s — oh fuck — it’s okay Chris.” I replied as I wrapped my legs around his waist. “Just please — please tell me you’re mine.” His voice sounded desperate and choppy, most likely caused by a combination of arousal and real distress. His choice of words and the tone at which he said them caused my stomach to do a flip, and I felt my second orgasm approach. Fighting the urge to give into the overwhelming feeling, I reached up and swiped his glistening lip with my thumb. “I’m yours baby, always.” I managed to respond through my cries of pleasure. Chris smiled down at me lazily before burying his face in my neck; leaving sloppy, breathy kisses along its thin skin.
My walls began to pulse and my skin started to feel like it was being lit on fire; both clear signs that I was extremely overstimulated as I was approaching my orgasm. “Shit, gonna cum again.” I blurted out just as I was hit with a tsunami of an orgasm. My legs tightened around his waist and my nails dug into his arms as I fought to keep my head above water, but my mind grew fuzzy as I spewed guttural profanities into the room as I came in waves.
It didn’t take long for Chris’ orgasm to follow, and that was made clear by his throaty grunts and sloppy pace before he stopped entirely; shouting breathless 'I love yous' into my neck as his cock shot its warm fluid deep inside of me. He eventually pulled out, before curling two fingers into me and shoving all of our conjoined juices up to my cervix. His eyes stayed glued to my cunt as he did so, seemingly in awe of the view.
“You’re all mine, and I’m all yours.” He said it so quiet that he might have just been saying it to himself, before he leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on the crest of my heat; earning a full-body flinch from me.
He came back up to the top of the bed where he laid down beside me, pulling me towards his chest and running a hand up and down my naked back. I felt so secure in his arms — his familiar smell filling my nostrils and calming my mind — that I nearly forgot everything that had happened prior to the past 15 minutes or so. That is, until he spoke.
“So, are we okay?” His voice was tentative, and he was very clearly afraid to hear my answer. I uncurled myself from his body so that I could look up at his lovely face, his desperate eyes scanning my poker face for any sort of hint.
“You will never, ever, speak to me like that again, no matter what.” I kept my voice firm, even when his face immediately relaxed into a grin. “I swear, I won’t baby.” He responded, trying to tuck me back into his chest, but I pushed back slightly. “And, I need you to talk to me about shit you’re going through, Chris. I’m your girlfriend. That’s my job. You need to promise me, you will come to me about anything, and I will do everything I can to help you through it.” He continued to gaze at me, though his wavering eyes and his chewing on his lower lip made it clear that the idea made him anxious. “Promise me, Chris.” I repeated, making it clear how serious I was.
Finally, Chris nodded his head. “I promise, baby. I’ll tell you everything.” I smiled, then, finally feeling secure in our relationship for the first time in weeks. “Then yes, we’re okay.” I responded before planting a soft kiss to his pink lips. “And you and your brothers are going to be okay, too.” His worried expression deepened at the reminder of his conflict with Nick and Matt. “We’ll talk about it more tomorrow once we get some rest, but we can make the tour work. You know, I’ve always wanted to visit Europe.” I watched as his lips began to turn up into a soft smile. “Plus,” I leaned forward to whisper in his ear, “I wouldn’t mind being your groupie.”
He dissolved into giggles at that. “But what about your job?” He asked tentatively. I shrugged. “I actually got promoted today. I was gonna tell you earlier, but y’know.” His face fell momentarily. “I got a raise, but more importantly I got more benefits. Including thirty vacation days.” His face lit up once again, and it was almost like I could see the weight lift off of his shoulders before he attacked my face with kisses. “So let’s have another meeting with Laura and your brothers tomorrow and work this all out. I can come, and we can fix this easily together.” Tears welled in his eyes, and he nodded his head before kissing me hard. “I love you, Y/n.”
I curled myself back into his chest and sighed, taking in the feeling of him mindlessly drawing random shapes on my back. This was the Chris that I knew and loved, and I knew that this is who he really was. He wasn’t perfect, but I never expected him to be. Problems come with every relationship, and of course there was never any guarantee, but I had a feeling that this night would vastly change our relationship for the better.

The sexual frustration had been bubbling in your core for as long as you could remember. Niall didn’t mean to neglect you, truly… But with The Voice, and then his album release, and merch, and tour dates bleeding together with festival dates, his schedule had become hectic. And as his assistant, so had your’s. It’s not like you could put ‘dick me down’ into his calendar either.
Well, you could… But you felt that it’d be quite immature. So now here you lay, sprawled across the bed you shared with him, a thick toy plunging into your g spot over and over. You’d lost count of how many times you’d made yourself tip over the edge, each orgasm bleeding together with the last. Tears of overstimulation prickled the corners of your eyes and you were nearly ready to give up.
The problem isn’t that you needed release—clearly that had already happened more than enough. However, no matter how big or thick the toy is, or how many times it plunges into that spot that makes you see stars… Nothing is Niall. Nothing would ever compare to the way that he made you feel, thus you were now bordering along orgasm number six and still weren’t satiated.
Not for lack of trying, however. You’d been at it for the better part of three hours, starting off slow and teasing yourself the way Niall always did, then slowly picking up the pace until you were blindly overstimulating yourself, your hips chasing the toy subconsciously in search of that spark Niall ignited inside you. Unfortunately, it never came. And that’s how you became a mess on the bed.
Tears streaked down your cheeks as you gasped and wheezed for breath. The stimulation of your cunt was beginning to hurt. Slowly bleeding in from pleasure to burning pain. You wanted nothing more than to get away from the overstimulation, but your hips couldn’t help but chase the feeling as you searched for something only Niall could give you.
For a moment, everything stopped. Your leg was lifted in the air, arm beginning to cramp as you continued to shove the toy into your cunt. The world began spinning slower, and your vision slowly faded until it was completely blocked by a milky white cloud of euphoria. Your legs shook violently, your body convulsing as the toy slipped from your hand.
You lay in the middle of the bed, panting quietly as you tried to catch your breath while your body shook atop the comforter. Beneath you was a puddle of your own arousal and sweat, and only when you noticed how wet your body had become did the reality of the situation begin to daunt on you.
You just touched yourself. You just used a toy. You just made yourself cum… Multiple times—all of these without Niall’s permission. You broke so many rules. He’s gonna be so mad at you. Your heart began beating faster in your chest, now out of fear rather than exhaustion. You bolted from the bed, quickly getting yourself cleaned up and into one of his shirts before taking the sheets down to the laundry.
Your legs were unsteady as you walked around the house, and your mind unfocused. Niall would be home soon, and likely expecting dinner on the table the way you’d always had. So, that’s what you did… Or rather, that’s what you attempted to do. Your mind was so fuzzy, and your brain so unfocused that you ended up burning the pasta for your chicken fettuccine. The chicken baked improperly, and ended up tasting rubbery, and the garlic bread was too garlicky.
Nothing came out right, and you were so overwhelmed that by the time Niall was opening the front door, tears had begun spilling over your visage. “Hey Pet. I’m ho…” Niall cut off his own sentence, freezing in his tracks as he saw your state. “Pet? What happened?” He asked, panic and worry laced in his voice.
“I’m sorry” you whined out quietly. “I’m sorry Daddy, I burned dinner. And I messed everything up” you hiccuped out. “I was so bad I’m sorry, I’m sorry” you rushed out, now borderline sobbing.
Niall’s heart cracked, and his arms wrapped around you tightly. “Oh baby, it’s okay” he murmured. “It’s okay, princess. We can just order a pizza, yeah? Daddy’s not mad” he whispered softly, gently stroking your hair. “Not mad at you, jus please stop crying. Hate it when you’re so sad” he frowned softly.
“No, I broke the rules!” You sobbed roughly. Niall’s frown turned to one of confusion now, rather than pure sadness. He rubbed your back gently, pulling back a bit to gaze properly at you.
“What are you on about, Petal?” He hummed gently, squeezing lightly at your hip. He did everything he usually would, working to calm you down so that he could fully understand what was going on and why his girl was so distraught.
You took a deep breath, wheezing a bit as you struggled through your tears. Niall cooed at you in encouragement as you did your breathing techniques. Once you had calmed down, you began to divulge how you'd been so bad, breaking his rules. “I’m sorry, Daddy” you sniffled. “I was so needy and you were so busy. Know ‘s against the rules but I used my toy. Came so many times but it wasn’t the same. Needed you” you whined quietly, knuckling at your eyes. You took another breath, attempting to keep your tears at bay. “Touched myself, used my toy, ‘n made myself cum. Didn’ ask Daddy if I could, that's bad,” you finished. “I’m sorry for being a bad girl, Daddy… I’ll take whatever punishment you give me” your whispered.
“Oh, Petal…” Niall whispered softly. He pulled you closer, gently running his fingers through your hair. He lifted you then, carrying you to the couch and sitting with you on his lap. He pulled you to his chest, rocking gently with you in his hold to aid you in relaxing. “Daddy’s not been good to you lately, has he?” He asked softly, gently moving your hair away from your face.
You stayed quiet, afraid that he was taunting you after you’d broken so many of his rules. Nervous that he was trying to trap you into making your own punishment worse as he so often did. But you couldn’t handle that right now, you were too soft. Niall, being the oh so attentive and loving dom that he is, recognized that. He saw the unfocused and glossy look in your eyes, the distraction and frustration the moment he stepped into the door and watched you cooking dinner. Only, he didn’t realize how bad it was until you finished explaining what had tipped you to this point.
“‘S okay Pet, you can be honest” he hummed. “Been ignoring you, haven’t given my Princess the proper attention she deserves” he continued on. “Wasn’t a very good Daddy, was I?” He asked gently.
“No, Daddy…” You whispered shyly, gently nosing against his neck in search of more comfort. He squeezed your hip lightly, humming as he held you closer. You sighed in content, closing your eyes as your body fully relaxed against him.
“There’s my girl” he whispered, stroking your hip with his thumb as he felt you become malleable in his hold. “I’m sorry I haven’t been payin’ attention to you, sweetheart. I’ve been so distracted by work. That’s no excuse though, is it?” He asked. The question was rhetorical, and you knew as much when he continued on to answer it on his own. “Should always have time to take care of the prettiest girl in the world” he smiled softly, gently kissing your nose. “I love you, sweet girl. My good girl” he smiled softly.
“Good girl” you echoed quietly, nodding as you held him tighter. He smiled softly, pressing another kiss to your head.
“What do you say we have a bath and then cuddle a bit, hmm?” he asked softly. “I’ll get your hair all done, get you nice and comfortable for bed” he murmured, kissing across your shoulders. “Can order a pizza and put on that show you love so much, that sound good baby?” He asked softly.
“Sounds good, Daddy” you whispered, bobbing your head gently in a nod.
“It’s okay princess, ‘s just Niall now, hmm?” He smiled softly, kissing your head. “Think you’ll be okay if I go and clean up the kitchen?” He asked softly. You nodded once more, and with that he stood. He tucked the throw blanket around your slightly-shivering form and went to the kitchen. He was quick to clean up the mess before coming back to carry you into your shared master bathroom.

Once in the bathroom, Niall set you down on top of the counter. He kissed your head before he turned and ran the water, making sure that it was the right temperature for you. He shot you a charming smile as he went back over to the cabinet you were sitting on top of. “What kind of bubbles do you want, Pet?” He asked softly, planting a gentle kiss to your calf as he kneeled between your legs in front of the cabinet.
“Um…” You hummed softly as you thought, chewing gently on your nails. “The lavender one” you finally decided, looking down at him with a shy smile.
“Take your fingers out of your mouth, beautiful” he mumbled, kissing the inside of your knee as he said it. He was firm in his words, but gentle in his kiss—speaking to you in the way he always did in this state of mind. This way, you knew it was an order, but you also knew he wasn’t mad at you. You murmured a quick apology, pulling your hand away from your mouth. He simply kissed your leg once more, letting you know all was okay before grabbing the lavender bath salts and bubbles.
He stood again, kissing your gently puckered lips and causing a giggle to spill past your lips. The sound was music to his ears, especially after hearing your heartbreaking sobs just minutes ago. He couldn’t help the smile that broke out onto his face as he saw your happiness return. “I love you, Pet,” he smiled softly.
“I love you too, NiNi” you whispered. The nickname let him know that you were slowly returning to your usual self, though the fog in your brain hadn’t fully cleared up yet. He turned, pouring the bubbles and salts into the water before returning them back to their rightful place beneath the sink.
Once the bath was full, Niall turned to you. He saw you nod, and knew you wanted him to undress you rather than do it yourself. He smiled in adoration, walking the short distance to you once more. He kissed your head, unable to stop himself from adorning your skin with his gentle lips for what felt like the hundredth time since he got home. Niall was soft as he unbuttoned his shirt, pushing it from your shoulders to leave you bare before helping you out of your underwear. “Do you want me to sit in with you or stay out here, Petal?” He asked you gently, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear so he could get a better look at your pretty face.
“In please” you answered softly. And Niall would never say no to you anyway, but with that pretty pout and those wide eyes, he was already a complete goner; unbuttoning his shirt and pulling it off of himself as he got ready to bathe with you. Once he was bare, he lifted you from the counter and sat in the bath with you in front of him, between his spread legs. When buying a house, Niall had taken into consideration your love for baths after he fucked you into oblivion—and right now he was thankful he remembered so as the two of you sat comfortably in the hot water.

The bathing part of your bath was over quickly, washing you off always being the first thing Niall did. He noticed how sweaty your body had become from your overstimulation earlier on through the thin cotton of his white shirt you wore—thusly, he washed your hair for you as well. Even with Niall washing your hair, and cleaning your body of your sticky arousal and multiple orgasms, the bathing was over within fifteen minutes.
Your body still wasn’t fully calmed down by then, and therefore when Niall asked if you were ready to get out yet, you simply whined in protest. It had now been at least forty minutes since Niall had put the two of you in the bath. The water had begun to cool, slowly losing its relaxing aura the colder the water became. This time when Niall asked you if you were ready to exit, you nodded sleepily and yawned quietly.
Niall gently moved you, climbing out first and wrapping a towel around his hips. He unplugged the bath, grabbing your fluffy towel and lifting you from the water, wrapping it around your body. “Want me to brush your teeth for you, Princess?” He hummed softly.
“No, I can do it” you nodded softly, smiling at him. “Thank you, Ni” you murmured. He smiled, kissing your nose as he grabbed your toothbrush and toothpaste for you. He let you know that he was going to get new sheets on the bed while you brushed, and you nodded in reply. While Niall made the bed, you brushed your teeth and got your skincare done. By the time you were walking out of the bathroom, Niall was putting the pillows back on the bed.
“Hi, pretty girl” he smiled softly, walking over to you. He wore sweatpants now, foregoing a shirt as he wrapped his arms around you in a hug. “Feelin’ better now?” He asked softly.
“Yeah, Ni” you whispered, nodding softly. You puckered your lips once more, and he obliged your silent request, leaning down and kissing you softly. “I love you” you whispered as the two of you pulled back.
“I love you, Petal” he echoed, kissing your head. “Let’s get you comfortable, hmm?” He smiled, carrying you over to the bed. He sat you down, going to your drawers to grab panties and one of his white t-shirts. He gently put them on you, helping you to put lotion on before detangling your hair.
He finished getting you ready for bed and got you beneath the covers, climbing in with you and pulling you close. He reached over to the bedside table and grabbed the remote, handing it to you. “Thanks, Ni” you whispered, turning on the TV and flicking to your favorite show as he took out his phone to order a pizza.
“Food’s on the way, baby” he murmured after a while, kissing your temple.
“You’re so good to me, Ni” you whispered softly, gazing up at him from where you were cuddled into his side.
“Only the best for my favorite girl” he smiled softly, kissing your nose gently.

Lmk if i missed you. Idk why some are buggy.
-
You don’t hear from Joel for days.  The first day, you’re a mess of feelings, pinballing between numb and smitten.  
You feel like you don't really know anyone in your life.  The people you thought were closest are perfect strangers.  You don't trust anyone.  Your roommate is spending all her time with that friend of Chad’s.  Your friend from home is on a trip overseas and won’t be back until the day after Independence Day.  You feel like you don’t have anyone to hang out with, talk to, or even sit in silence with.  You’re lonely and pensive.  
On the other end of the spectrum, your mind (and body) frequently drift to that long-awaited kiss, and everything that happened in that hotel suite.  You almost feel like if you can sleep with Joel, everything will be right in the world, even when it’s all wrong.  Even when he’s part of what’s wrong.  You know it’s illogical.  
-
One afternoon, for a change of scenery, you go to the bookstore with the cafe where you work.  Maybe you’re clinging to the last bit of familiarity that’s left.  On the bulletin board at the entrance, there’s a flyer for Chad's band playing at your favorite spot.  That must be why he originally came by the cafe the other day.  
While you’re in the middle of the bookstore, you get a text from Joel and your face burns when you open it. It’s a disappearing dick pic.  Not just his dick. It’s a blow job POV including his dick.  “Your souvenir,” he says, like that’s all that happened.    Your blood boils but also rushes to your loins.  
That’s all he has to say to you?  You respond, “really?” He’s trying to act like that whole car ride never happened.  
“Wanna talk about it?” he responds.  It’s nice that he offers, and your heart probably swells a little too much at the basic decency, but you’re actually not sure you want to talk about it.  You’re almost afraid to find out more.  You already wish you could rewind and live in blissful ignorance. 
-
After an exhausting day of stewing and sulking, you decide to go to Chad’s show.  It feels pathetic, but who cares? The way you see it, you don’t have anything to lose.  Chad can’t hurt you anymore.  It’s hard to imagine anyone who could.  You text Chad to let him know you’re coming.  He doesn’t text you back.  
When you get to the venue, you don’t see anyone you know, at first.  There’s still another band to play before them, so they should be hanging out near the merch table and you make your way over there.   Finally, you see their drummer behind the cash box, then you see Chad’s hair from the back.  The drummer says something to Chad, then Chad looks over at you.   Your stomach turns when you see his face.  You can only see half of it, but there’s a gauze bandage across his eyebrow and upper cheekbone.  His mouth is scabbed over.  Joel.  Chad makes himself scarce as soon as he sees you. 
You finally respond to Joel, “not really.” And that’s that.  But you don’t know how you’re going to face him or your dad when you go home for the holiday.  
-
On Independence Day, you’re so anxious that you drive right past the turn onto Joel’s street.  You don’t forget, you just decide not to turn.  You go to your friend’s house, even though you know she isn’t there.  It’s a familiar place to park your car and try to calm yourself down.  You sit there for almost an hour doing nothing but scrolling tumblr and listening to music.   
When you don’t arrive at the barbecue, your dad and Joel separately call you and you don’t answer either of them.  Based on your degree of dread with each respective call, you realize your dad is the one you least want to see.  You’re not really harboring much negativity toward Joel at this point.  
Frank texts you and you finally take a deep breath and decide to show up.  Your plan is to detach as much as possible and let yourself leave as soon as you’re uncomfortable. 
-
You pull up to Joel’s house wearing a bikini and the flannel with a change of clothes in your Billy Loomis tote.  Pretty much everyone is already at Joel’s house.  Tommy and Maria, Bill and Frank, your dad and stepmother, a couple of Joel’s neighbors, and two of your dad’s work friends, rounding out the requisite hot old guys (HOGs), according to your friend, at least. One of the HOGs, Steve, always looks at you like a piece of meat.  You used to think he was just an old  creep, but now he strikes you as a bit of a DILF. 
A light breeze carries the smell of propane and pork butt as you approach the pool gate.  Only Frank is in the pool.  You’ll probably hang out with him the whole time.  Joel is at the grill in swim trunks and t-shirt, talking to one of your father’s work friends.  He doesn't even look up when you open the gate.  His swim trunks sure do show a lot of thigh. 
Your stepmother is all over your dad.  You pry him off with a hug out of spite and to face your fears.  Then, you go to the grill and hug Joel from the side. It’s way too hot to stand there long.
“There she is,” Tommy announces on the other side of the grill.  He’s talking to a guy you don’t recognize who turns around and does a double-take.  
“This is Jesse, he works with your dad.” 
He extends his hand and says “I’ve heard a lot about you.”  
“Hmm, that sounds ominous." You can imagine being very attracted to Jesse even a week ago, but suddenly you don't have interest in anyone under 40.  
"Well I heard you like to swim, at least. I didn't wanna swim alone," Jesse says.
-
Frank has a tray at the side of the pool with a glass of wine and his phone on it.  He puts his glass of wine down when you walk up. 
"Thank God, I've been drinking by myself," he says. 
"And what kind of pairing is this for your pork butt?" you tease him as you sit down on the edge and put your feet in.   Bill just barely raises his glass to wave at you.  He's sitting alone under the shade of an umbrella, wearing khakis and a button-down shirt. 
"Hey I think I have this shirt," Frank says, and takes the flannel between his thumb and finger.  He studies it contemplatively for a moment.  You catch up with Frank for a while.  
-
You call over to the grill, "Joel are you gonna swim?" 
"I'm on butt duty," he says. 
Frank gives you an inquisitive look then asks if you're gonna get in.  
You put your stuff down on a chair, take the shirt off, and start applying sunscreen.  Joel watches as you rub it into your bikini top. Then you turn around to give him a side view as you rub it into the part of your butt cheeks hanging out of the bottoms. 
Jesse moseys over within seconds and takes off his shirt. And well, damn.  When Jesse raises his eyebrows at you, you realize you've been staring while lazily reaching over your shoulder and applying sunscreen.  You were really just looking at his tattoos.  Mostly. 
“Nice ink,” you say.  
"Need a hand?" He asks. Why not? You hand Jesse the sunscreen and watch his face as he squirts some into his palm. He bites his lip. 
You turn around facing the pool – facing Joel – and stretch out one leg in front of you, keeping the other bent, while Jesse rubs lotion into your back.  He doesn’t do  it in an erotic way, but you curl your toes and subtly bite your lip as though it is. You let your legs fall open a bit. 
You lower yourself into the pool and have small talk with Jesse for a minute, then Joel says your real name for once and it makes your eyes go wide. He doesn't say it that loud but you still hear him from across the pool.  "Gimme a hand?" He asks. 
Jesse stays in the pool and awkwardly makes small talk with Frank. 
-
Joel watches in the reflection of his big living room windows as you lift yourself out of the pool and get a towel.  You follow him inside to the small, secondary kitchen and he closes the door behind you..
He pins you up against the counter, already aroused, and further hardens against your wet swimsuit, flooding you with desire from your core to your chest.  
"Havin' fun?" He growls in your ear. 
"Don't tell me that made you jealous."
"Turned me on," he says, low and horny. 
He kisses your chin, then your neck.  Your hands wrap around him and grab his ass, pulling him into you harder with your own soft grunt.  
He slips his hand under the damp cup of your bikini top, his fingers curving around the side of your breast, thumb resting at your cleavage.  His warm palm pushes your cold, hard nipple as he firmly cradles your breast, his hand applying slow pressure in rhythm with his hips.  Your knees are weak.  You're dripping, not just from the pool.  
He wraps his arms around you and slides his warm hands into the sides of your swimsuit bottom, grabbing hold of your cold ass cheeks. He groans, "God almighty.”  
He kneads your ass, pulling you into him and his rock-hard length.  He kisses your neck and grinds himself into you.  The feeling of his warm, thick rod slowly rutting against your clit drives you mad.  You couldn’t get any wetter.  If you don't have this man inside you soon, you might actually die. You reach into his shorts and use your other hand to try to take them down.  He doesn't stop you. 
But there’s a knock at the door.  Good Lord.  You know who it's going to be.
Joel puts his dick away and removes a big pan of coleslaw from the fridge.  He hands you the coleslaw while you open the door.  
"Am I interrupting anything?" She asks. 
"No," You say, then cock your head and add  "Am I?"  You hold eye contact for several seconds, then hand her the cole slaw and ask, "don't you and Dad have some catching up to do?" 
Your stepmother takes the coleslaw outside.  
You close the door behind her.  “Basement?,” you ask, and start toward the pantry at the back of the space.  There’s a hidden staircase that opens into the movie theater downstairs. 
Joel groans and rubs his beard.  “Later,” Joel says with a sigh.  “We better go back out.”
You scoff.  “Really?” 
“Go on back outside.” He opens the door to the main kitchen.  
-
When you get back to the pool, Jesse's already gone, talking to your dad.  When you get back in, Frank says, "You little minx."  He's got Instagram pulled up on his phone and shows you a picture from several years ago of Joel and him together,  both wearing the shirt you arrived in.  "Tell me everything."
Your face gets hot.  “Seems to be a popular shirt,” you say. 
"No," Frank says. "Shirt's just the kicker. There's something about the way you say each other's names. They sound like a secret."  Frank is good at reading people.
"What, you think I fucked him? I didn't." At least you don't have to lie about that. 
"Maybe not yet," he scoffs.  Frank looks behind you and covers his mouth, then says “Look at his shirt."  Yeah, Joel’s shirt has just the right wet spots.  In theory, they could've been from a hug. It basically was a hug.  
"Ever heard of a hug?" you say. 
Frank raises his eyebrows then holds up his glass of wine and "accidentally" clinks his wedding ring on it before downing the rest.  Bill hears it and comes over with the bottle.  Frank gives him a look with the slightest nod across the pool, like he can't even wait a couple hours to share his new gossip.  Bill's eyes dart over to Joel, then meet Frank's eyes again. As usual, no reaction is visible on Bill's face, aside from a twinkle in his eye.  "Everything to your liking, sir?" he asks Frank.  
Frank smiles, "Come on, at least dip your feet," but Bill leaves. Just as well, Frank's not done prodding you. 
"It's okay, you don't have to tell me," Frank shrugs.  "But I know you want to. . . and my lips are sealed. . ."  
Frank is one of the most trustworthy people you know, so you don't worry about him spilling it.  You just don’t feel like saying it out loud and putting words to it.  Once it exists in the air, it’s something that can be broken. Something that can fall apart.  
You panic and tell Frank about Joel and your stepmother instead.  You claim you're just keeping Joel close for now while you decide what to do.  You leave out any details about what close means.  
The initial look on his face is horror, then Frank looks like he's going to cry.  "Are you okay?" 
"Chill," you say, looking around nervously. "Jesus, how much wine have you had?" 
"Sorry, I just.  I'm sorry.  I know it's hard.  That's all."  He hugs you, and over Frank’s shoulder, you see Joel looking across the pool with his brow furrowed even more than usual.
"Well, don't forget my dad cheated on my mom with her, so, whatever," you say.
"Well, exactly. That's why I worry-" 
Your face tells him to stop, so he changes the subject.  "So what about that guy from the band, is that still a thing?"
You sigh.  "Chad? No. Nothing juicy, just no."
"Got it," he says and you know you can trust him not to bring it up again.  He follows your eyes back to Joel.   You’re not off the hook, but at least you don’t have to talk about it.  
-
The actual meal is relatively uneventful. It’s hard to be around your father right now.  Deep down, you knew there were secrets.  You knew he wasn’t the most upstanding man.  You never fully trusted him after what he did to your mom.  But at this point, he feels like a stranger.  You’re almost glad his wife is cheating on him.  
Steve, the hotter of your dad’s non-Joel friends, tries hitting on you.  Asks if you like to party.  Says he bets you get pretty wild after a few drinks.  Pressures you to do shots with him.  Why not, you think.  You do one shot, but make Joel join in.  
“Bad fuckin’ influence over here,” Joel says and gives Steve a slap on the back.  Steve tries to egg you on to do more, but you don’t and neither does Joel.  
"That's why we call him Mr. One Shot," Jesse says. laughing at his own joke. 
Joel bristles at the nickname and crosses his arms, jamming his hands under his ungodly biceps.
Steve lowers his voice and asks Joel,  "How many shots in Uvalde?" Joel doesn’t answer. 
"One," Jesse says. "Miller’s too modest, you're embarrassing him," he laughs. 
Joel tenses. "Give it a rest, Jesse. Have some discretion." 
Jesse looks at your end of the table and swallows. “Right”
Your stepmother abruptly changes the subject.   She asks Jesse how old he is and why she hasn’t seen him before. She’s drunk, and every time she looks at Jesse, she looks like she could eat him alive. 
Your dad elbows Jesse.  “I think my wife likes you,” he says with a wink.  It’s awkward. 
-
Joel’s face is a little pink from the sun, and it looks good on him.  He’s looking at your face, but not making eye contact. He seems to be in a trance.  You kind of feel like you should still be mad at him, but for some reason, you’re not.  And you’re not going to deprive yourself out of spite.  You can feel Frank noticing every detail of this.  
Bill pours the last of a bottle of wine, and you volunteer to go to the wine cellar.  Bill says they’ve had enough.  Frank protests that he wants one more glass.  He asks you for a German Riesling, with a wink.  You subtly shake your head at him, falsely denying what he knows you’re up to.  
-
You stand in the wine cellar, enjoying the cool air, then sit on a cabinet that spans the whole back wall.  It’s only a few minutes before you hear Joel’s flip flops echoing down the stairs, presumably with the pretext of helping you find the wine.  He crosses the cellar without even glancing at the wine.  “Leavin’ for the fireworks in 15,” he says.  
He has that horny look in his eyes and there’s already a bulge in his swim trunks. The way his t-shirt stretches over his pecs and arms — God damn. 
When Joel reaches you, his massive hands part your knees, then lightly stroke your bare thighs.  His lips brush your temple as he says, “You’re gonna get me in trouble one of these days.” 
“That’s the idea,” you say as his hands wrap around your back and he slides you closer to the edge of the cabinet.  When your crotch comes to rest against his, an acute desire floods your breasts.  You squeeze his sides with your thighs, then roll your hips into his arousal and hook your hands under his arms, bringing him closer.  
You slide your hands down his back and into his swim trunks, feeling his ass and bringing the trunks down.  At the same time, you pull his hips into you and the swell of his hard-on against your clit makes you throb with need.  You start to untie your bikini bottoms while he gropes a breast.
His mouth latches onto your neck. You let the front of the bottoms fall between your thighs, and tilt your hips in just the right way. He brings a hand between your legs and drags his flattened fingers up and down your slippery seam, then thrusts two of them inside and you moan. 
“Fuuck,” he breathes.  
You grab his cock.  “Come on,” you beg as you tug him.  He takes his hard length from you, holds it in his hand, and furrows his brow as he pumps his fingers slowly in and out of you.  You try to read his face.  He breathes heavily as he fingers you.   
“Fuck me already,” you beg.  
He looks down at himself and shakes his head no, but looks pained by his own answer.  
“We both know it’s gonna happen,” you say.
He takes a deep breath as though to restrain himself.  “Maybe so, but not tonight.” 
He removes his fingers and brings the tip of his cock to your dripping entrance.  A bolt of need shoots through you.  He dwells there for a moment, takes another deep breath, then lays his stiff manhood vertically against your seam and pulls you tight against him.  Then he grinds wetly against your aching clit, and your hips roll into him.  Your head falls back and you moan.  Your eyes are watery.  
“God, Joel. . .this is . . .so dumb. . . just fu-” 
You cut yourself off with a moan as he quickens his pace and grunts.
“Pleeease.” 
“Shhhhhhh,” he says.  You’re on the verge of coming and on the verge of tears. He holds you tight for leverage then goes jackhammer pace. 
“Joel. . .”
“Come for me, sugar,” he pants.  And not long after, you do.  You clench around nothing, pulse against him, and you hear the echo of a breathy “Joel” you didn’t know you said.  
He takes his cock in his hand again and looks at you with his pupils blown wide. His breath is ragged as he strokes himself.  You find yourself slipping down off the cabinet.  He doesn’t deserve what you’re about to do, you just want it for yourself, for whatever reason.  He steps back and you squat down to face level with his cock.  You hover your mouth over it, then wrap your lips around the head, and he comes with an echoing groan before you take any of the shaft into your mouth.  His cum even tastes unattainable.  Your eyes sting. 
You fix your swimsuit and compose yourself.  
“C’mere,” he says and hugs you.  You don't really hug him back.  You wipe a tear off your cheek.  He tries to kiss you, but you’re too upset, and it would make you need him even worse than you already do.  
-
Joel’s phone rings and he picks it up.  “We’re comin’,” he says.  “C’mon, let’s go.”  He puts his arm around you but your demeanor doesn’t soften.  You’ve had it with him depriving you.
“Ya know, maybe it’s a good night to talk to my dad,” you threaten as you near the top of the stairs.  
“Damn, Trouble.” You can't tell if he’s impressed or judging you.  “I said not tonight. I didn’t say never.”  
That makes you think twice, at which point you realize what you just did. . .You tried to blackmail Joel for sex. 
He adjusts his shorts.  God, what’s become of this situation in just a few days - you try to put it out of your mind.  You can beat yourself up over it later. 
Joel stops you with his hand on yours before you open the door. “Look,” he continues.  “Before you do anything stupid, there’s somethin’ I should tell you later.”  
You lean against the wall and cross your arms.  “Lemme guess, you and Dad are up to some shady, dangerous shit.” 
“Nothin’ to do with that,” Joel says, lowering his voice. 
“So you are.” 
“Dangerous, yes, shady, no. We’re the good guys. Less you know ‘bout that, the better.” 
“Why?”
“For your safety.” 
You open the door to the living room and people are milling around deciding who’s riding with whom to the fireworks.  Frank says, “hey, she didn’t get bricked in,” and hands you your bag from outside so you can change.  
-
You and Joel ride with Bill and Frank to the fireworks. Frank keeps looking back and making small talk, but you and Joel mostly look out your opposite windows. You get to thinking about what Joel said.   Not tonight. . . I didn’t say never. . . If he means that, maybe it’s worth the wait.  Maybe you should hear him out, whatever he has to tell you.
During the fireworks, you come around a little.  Joel playfully covers your ears, knowing you’ve always hated loud noises.   When Bill and Frank drop you off at Joel’s afterwards, everyone is going their separate ways.  You're relieved to see your dad and stepmother drive off before you have to say goodbye.   
You start to go to your car, wanting to quit while you're ahead and not end up begging for it again. Joel stops you with gentle hands on your shoulders.
"Come in for a minute. Let's talk." A pit opens in your stomach. 
The two of you go in through the pool gate.  “Lemme make you a drink,” he says.  That sounds even worse.
. . .
Joel hands you your favorite cocktail, then comes around the bar with his own drink to sit on the stool next to you.  He takes a deep breath and puts his hand on your knee.  He seems almost as nervous as you are. You can't remember seeing him nervous before.  
“Yeah?” you prompt him.  
He nods and takes a sip of his drink, then looks you in the eye.  He puts his glass down, then takes yours out of your hand and puts it down on the counter too.  
He swivels you toward each other.  He looks like he's about to say something, then something changes in his eyes.  He cradles your head with both hands, lays his lips into yours, and kisses you slow and hard, his tongue dipping into your mouth. 
After a few seconds, you don’t even notice the taste of his whiskey, and his hands trace your body on their way down to your thighs.  It’s intense but tender.  You can’t help but feel like it’s some kind of a kiss goodbye.  It scares you.  He slides off the stool and gets in between your knees, tries to put your legs around him again, and that’s certainly where your legs want to go.  But you want to hear what he has to say first. 
You pull away and your hand drifts up to your lips.  They buzz from his fervor.  Your chest rises and falls.
“Spit it out,” you tell him.   
“Right," he says.  "I dunno if you’re still gonna wanna. . .”  He downs his drink.  It’s hard for you to imagine anything that would make you not want to fuck him anymore.  
Finally, he begins.  "Alright. . . ‘member what I said at lunch the other day, 'bout how monogamy isn’t for everyone?"
"Yeah." If this is all to say it’s not for him, it’s not hitting like much of a bombshell.  Now, if he's going to tell you about other people he's fucking–when he's not even fucking you—that's a different story. 
"Well," he clears his throat and looks away.  "Your dad-"  
You interrupt him with a loud sigh.  "Just because he cheats doesn't mean you can sleep with his wife."  You’re annoyed he’s even going there.  
Joel holds up his hands as though to tell you to slow down.  "Lemme finish.  'member what I said, how even in a marriage, some couples. . . ."  He tries to make you fill in the blanks for yourself, but you won't. "Okay,”  he shifts in his seat and begins to gesticulate vaguely.  “Your dad and stepmother, they have an arrangement."  
You feel the blood drain from your face.  You think about the way she was eyeing Jesse. "Gross," you say.
He swallows and nods regretfully as you process this.  He waits patiently as your heart races along with your thoughts, then you spill them out all at once.  "I dunno why I would believe you. OR why you would believe her.  Is that what she told you?”  You laugh.  “Whatever. Even if it's true, you aren't just any guy-"
"He knows," Joel says almost somberly. “About me.”
"Oh, he knows?" you laugh. He couldn't possibly. This is a terrible attempt at defusing the whole situation for himself.  And yet, he looks like he feels bad for you. 
"The first time, he talked me into it." 
Deep breaths.  "That's insane.  That's. . .this is your new plan? Try to convince me my dad is some perverted cuckold?"
"No, not like that." He shivers in disgust. "Damn, Trouble. That's where your head went? No. . . when he. . .it was like. . . a swap.” 
Your stomach turns.  
“Okay, remember my date to Bill and Frank's wedding?  The stripper?”  Your heart sinks.  “Your dad, um, really liked her, and-"
"I get the picture," you say, closing your eyes and pinching the bridge of your nose, recalling that your dad did in fact really like Joel's date.  It was embarrassing.  
"It was casual with me and. Shit, what was her name. Anyway, we were all stayin' in that hotel gettin' sloshed at the pool, an-"
You open your eyes and say, "Yeah, I got it, okay?" Then, you walk over to the sofa to sit down.  He follows you.  You feel sick to your stomach and don't want to hear another word about it.  You cross your arms and slouch, sitting in silence for a moment.  
He hesitantly puts his hand on your knee, sending a rush of blood to your loins. You don’t know what to feel.
"Did you really end it with her?" You ask. 
He sighs.  "More or less." 
Now rage starts simmering in your chest. 
"Told her I wanted a break.”
Unbelievable.
“That just — it lessens the blow.  But trust me, I'm not doin' it again. Especially after how she’s been actin’." 
You wish you could believe him. 
You ask, "Why'd you let me think it was some huge secret?"
He's quiet for a moment.
"I don’t think your dad would appreciate you knowin’ about it," he says.  "But I was gonna tell you anyway."
“Yeah, right.” 
“‘Yeah. . . ‘member all those calls you ignored?”  
“But then I got to thinkin’ about it, and I guess. . . .” 
"What?”
"I," he pauses and sighs.  "Shit, I dunno, it was hot.  Really hot.  The way you acted, thinkin' you had somethin' over me. . .never saw that side of you before."
Now this you can believe.
"Next day, still thought about tellin’ ya.  But after the pool, there was no goin’ back.  I mean, damn."  
There’s a sparkle in his eye as he reflects on that.  He adjusts himself, which always makes you tingle, even now.  Especially now?  God, you have no idea.  
"Guess it kinda did somethin' to me,” he says.  He raises his eyebrows and gives your thigh a rub, but you flinch.  It isn’t personal, you’re just on edge, but his eyes get sad and he takes his hand away, resting it in his lap as he sits back lazily on the couch. 
You ask, "So why tell me now?"
"I dunno, maybe I'm growin' a conscience."  
You try to make sense of that, but you can’t.  Why would he feel guilty about you doing something as depraved as blackmailing him into sex?  
"Woulda been hot as hell though.  Maybe I shoulda let ya go through with it.  Damn.” 
It sounds like everything is up to him, and apparently, it is.  
He hesitantly rests his hand on your back and slowly rubs it.  You take a deep breath and sigh audibly.  You’re melting under his fingertips.  
He lowers his voice, “So, now that you know everything . . .”
His phone buzzes.  When he looks at it, he tenses and sharply inhales.
“Your dad’s here,” he says.
And your car is still parked outside in the turnaround.

Planning for the next chapter to be the last in this story. . .

Hello! Do you still take request? If so, can you maybe write your recent post about vbs came to reader's concert but instead with wxs (separately)?
Thank u and have a good day/night bee!!!
Hiii! And of course! Sorry it took some time but I hope you like it!
Tsukasa, Emu, Nene, Rui on reader's concert
TagList: @bleachtheidiot @yulikesminori @kuzui5201314 @alicewinterway18 @indi-has-fallen @m3g-luka
Tumblr media
⊱ Tsukasa is the loudest in the crowd and in the room!
⊱ you know that "Tsukasa is banned from Leo/need concerts" theory? That's him right there.
⊱ okey but anyways, he just adores you so much he can't help but be the biggest fan
⊱ music can play so loud you cannot hear your own thoughts and yet, you'll be able to hear this energetic star
⊱ definitely learned small part of your dances if you have or thought of his own so he can cheer even with his actions
⊱ he's not necessarily dressed fully in your merch but he gotta have light sticks
⊱ surprisingly he never joins and sings along, but that's simply because he wants everyone to look at you and hear your charming voice!
⊱ gives a loud applause after and before every song you play
⊱ after show he'll quicky come up to you and hug you tightly as he's telling you how well you did right there and how proud he is from you!
"You were so amazing right there!! And when you had you solo, I thought I'm gonna cry from all the emotions! Let me treat you to some dessert for all the great work you did just now!"
Tumblr media
⊱ Emu literally had so much fun there! She was cheering for you, singing and even dancing a bit!
⊱ she wasn't the loudest there but you could still hear her voice in the crowd
⊱ she knows all of your bands songs by heart so she immidietly know what song is playing by the first few notes
⊱ definitely comes with like a hairband or a shirt from your merch to show some additional support
⊱ won't be surprised if she actually has a little dance that doesn't take much space but makes herself more visible to you for additional cheering
⊱ you go for taiyaki after every single show because she treats it as a special reward!
⊱ also wouldn't be surprised if security had to be additionally carefully because of her trying to sneak into backstage before or after show when she still didn't had the official permission
"Y/N! I wanted to give you some water before your show! I don't want you to hurt your voice... oh no! Bear guy is coming again!! See you!"
⊱ tells everyone about her experience and you can hear from your mutual friends that she was jumping from happiness when she was explaining how much she liked your show
Tumblr media
⊱ Nene most likely was really nervous before coming there and asked you what she should wear to blend into the crowd as much as she can
⊱ she doesn't want to be in the center of attention which leads to her not wearing any merch during your show
⊱ she also tries to not cheer too loudly and instead just sends you bright, shy smile every now and then
⊱ of course she knows your songs by heart and suffers every time you play hear favorite song and she's trying her best not to hum it
⊱ overalls she's a bit scared to be left alone right there so there's a high possibility of her bringing someone with her to your concerts
⊱ it's also really possible that she refused to go backstage even when she had a pass
⊱ after show tho, she'll tell you all about what she liked and what she didn't to repay her lack of cheering
"It was really great. My favorite part had to be your solo! I think you really made the atmosphere right."
⊱ if you're the type to cheer loudly on her performances, she might just have sudden burst of confidence and cheer a bit louder then usual, like clap her hands or so!
Tumblr media
⊱ Rui is the type to wear WAY too much merch on your shows
⊱ literally the only non merch outfit is his pants and shoes just because you didn't sold these
⊱ he's also cheering with light sticks which leads to him dancing a bit, he doesn't go as far as singing tho... he may hum but won't sing along whole songs
⊱ he's also easy to stop in crowd, not only because of how much merch he wears but because of his height and you really don't mind! It only makes noticing his happy expression easier
⊱ before he got the pass, he used to get close to backstage and call for you just to wish you great show and kiss your hand (security had enough of him)
"Hey darling! Good luck on your show! Look for me in the crowd because I promise to give you a wink once in a while~"
⊱ when he got the pass, not much changed except location and him teasing you about how much you wanted him to be there before your every show
⊱ after each show he'll treat you to some cafe date or so to give you a bit if a relaxation time

i’m back! how would aew boys react to reader having a bianca moment she has a mystery opponent they come out and beat her in a couple seconds https://youtu.be/XvblHAfgCwo
i’m bad at explaining if you can can you add Kenny Omega
AEW Stars React: You Losing Your Championship Within a Minute
Pairings: MJF x Fem!Reader, Kenny Omega x Fem!Reader, Ricky Starks x Fem!Reader, Darius Martin x Fem!Reader, Hook x Fem!Reader, Eddie Kingston x Fem!Reader, Christian Cage x Fem!Reader, Daniel Garcia x Fem!Reader
Word Count: 1K
Supreme Speaks: thanks to @cassie0sstuff for requesting this (i always love your requests). I still have a lot of requests so Imma try my best to release 2 or 3 things tomorrow. umm thanks for supporting me and reading my crazy thoughs. please remember that you are loved and appreciated.
Warnings: "mature language", mentions of bribery and my sugar daddy Christian Cage
Taglist (if yall wanna join, lemme know): @hooks-martin @wwenhlimagines @cassie0sstuff @hookerforhook @eddie-kingstons-wifey @triscillal @sheinthatfandom
Even though you can click on this link, imma elaborate:
After what happened, you sat up in the ring in disbelief
You were mad at the lack of communication, mad at the unwanted surprise
But you were mainly mad at yourself for not seeing this earlier
You were just overall really upset at the entire situation
But if you were feeling this way, imagine how your significant other/best friend felt…
Kenny Omega
Tumblr media
THIS MAN WOULD FEEL SOME TYPE OF WAY
Immediately asks who signed off on this and who didn’t tell you
“I swear to god that I didn’t know. But whoever did, better pray that I don’t kick their ass.”
Is upset that this decision was made without his input
Would def be heartbroken after seeing your pouting face
Immediately hugs you telling you that he’s sorry and that you’ll get your rematch soon
After comforting you, he goes into executive producer mode and tries to figure out how to give you a decent rematch where everything makes sense and has meaning
Promises you that you’ll get the match that you deserve (might fight Tony tbh…me too, I wanna fight Tony)
Eddie Kingston
Tumblr media
It took everything in him not to run out to the ring and kick your opponent’s ass
But he didn’t…instead he linked everything back to his enemies
I think he would see this situation as people trying to hurt him through you (or you paying for his words/actions)
“Doll, I’m sorry that some people are literally out to get you for stupid shit. But I promise that I will help you get your championship back.”
Immediately hugs you while you try to calm down
Just like any situation where you are in danger/or upset, he’ll take this very personally
Will help you in your rematch by any means
Shit..because Eddie is a ride or die, he might put his title on the line for yours
Darius Martin
Tumblr media
BABY BOY IS DISTRAUGHT FOR YOU
Runs down to the ring and comforts you while you look on in disbelief
He hugs you, whispers sweet comforting words to you
Promises that you will become champion again
“Listen, they don’t deserve it. But you do and because of that, you will become champion again.”
Hypes you up and is glad to be a part of your revenge plan
Does anything you ask, as long as he’s helping
Is ringside for your rematch and stops other people from interfering with your match
Daniel Garcia
Tumblr media
So….SINCE THIS MAN IS FREE FROM THE SHACKLES AND CHAINS OF THE JAS
He has found his humility
After making sure you’re okay, he tries to go after them; but you stop him out of exhaustion
Now, he’s concerned about making sure your mental health is okay (as this is nerve-wracking)
Mans gets on the mic a week later ripping into your opponents in your absence
“Y/N made that championship, not the other way around. She didn’t need to be a whining, cowardly bitch to get it.”
I think Daniel would try his best to help you get inside of your opponent’s head (one good thing he learned from the JAS)
Will post on social media your merch, promos, and pictures (especially when your opponent posts something else)
“Anyways, stan Y/N”
Christian Cage
Tumblr media
He’s suing everyone in sight (my hero)
Your opponent? Sued. The referee? sued. Tony Kahn? He is now in debt to Christian.
I think he would use his smart and manipulation tactics to really get the championship
You didn’t even have to ask him, he just did it for you
“Don’t worry sweetheart, everything is gonna be alright.”
Makes your opponent sign a contract that is in your huge favor
Then makes Luchasuarus choke slam them; you cover them (all within 5 seconds)
You win and now you and Christian roam around the locker room flaunting your championships
Hook
Tumblr media
Hook mad? No, no, no. Mans is pissed
I think this along with what’s happening with Jack Perry has really sent him over the rails
He’s kicking everyone in sight, slapping people, throwing the security over the barricade
Tries to suplex your opponent but Jack stops him (which leads to a chase around the arena)
“That bastard can’t run for long. And your coward for an opponent won’t be able to defend that championship when we’re done with them.”
This leads to a tag match between you/Hook vs. your opponent/Jack
You got your lick back (best believe it)
You and Hook won your titles back within a match (a first in AEW history)
Ricky Starks
Tumblr media
Mans in disbelief
Someone shut his mouth before he catches flies (god forbid he’s in his heel era cause everyone would be flamed)
I think he would be genuinely pissed off to the point where you couldn’t even calm him down
Immediately goes on a rant on the mic
“First, this company screws me over. Now it’s Y/N? Y’all have really fucked up! Are you lopsided, cross-eyed, inbred people just bored?”
….don’t argue with me, I can see him saying it…
Since he’s suspended, he manages you and you come back with a new attitude
After some “cheating” (Ricky calls it guaranteeing a victory), you win your championship back
Ricky’s there; just smiling and feels great that he was able to help you gain something back that meant so much to you
MJF:
Tumblr media
Mans straight up buys it back
No, deadass, that’s it
He’s done with taking the higher road with certain shit/people so he goes back to bribing
Max literally just keeps upping the price
“I know that your poor, stank asses need more than 100 dollars so how about 1,000 dollars? Maybe you can buy some soap.”
After buying the belt and the reign, he throws you a coronation where he proclaims you the queen of the women’s division
Dares anyone to say otherwise
He also renegotiates your contract which strictly prohibits matches that you are not prepared for/made aware of
“I just wanna look out for you. Since this dumbass company can’t.”

Hey!! I really loved your writing of some of the proxies with a child! Spoiled reader (can’t remember exactly what it was called, but the reader was bratty and princessy) and I’d like to ask for something similar!
Could you possibly write jeff, toby, ej and anyone else you’d want to add with a child! Reader that’s a lot like young Ellie Williams from tlou 1?
So swears a lot, a bit rude/blunt, quite tomboyish, but overall just a funny and badass kid?
(Extra points if you make them good with weapons, like guns, knives, bows, etc.)
If you can’t do it, no worries! I really love ur writing and thought I’d leave a request <33
Ooooh! I've been wanting to play tlou for so long!
Thank you so much for requesting!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Creeps with a Child!Ellie Williams!Reader
Tumblr media
Jeff
You are Jeff's favorite
You are often his "sidekick" on missions
He gets in trouble for teaching you new swear words
If one thing doesn't go your way, you are screaming "MOTHER FUCKING BITCH"
Everyone in the room gives Jeff the stink eye
Jeff just laughs his ass off
You are also his personal fashion advisor
"Should we go clothes shopping at Hot topic or Claires"
"They're both overpriced we're better off dumpster diving"
"sniFF...im so proud 🥹"
Hes a big brother to you
If you're on a mission with him, you will be the designated weapon carrier
And the sneak attack
You run up his arm, jump off his back and ATTACK!
He dresses you up in his mcr merch and you absolutely go to concerts together
You get to ride on his shoulders, and he buys you anything you could want from the venue
Even Smile dog has taken a liking to you
He wil lick your face, and protects you like you are his own child
Mind you, this is the dog that hates everyone
Toby
You make him nervous/pos
With you being so reckless, and clearly lacking a positive adult influence, it makes him worry
But he does enjoy your wild side
For instance, when being introduced to his raccoon children, you were the only one that actually cared about them
The raccoons like you too, knowing that whenever you're around, they get treats
He is one of the few creeps who helps you set up your room when you first arrive at the mansion
He buys you your first set of toys and new clothes, as well as getting you your own pocket knife
"For protection" he says
He knows good and well youre gonna use it to dig out your toenails lmao
He also pays you to do his work for him
Example:
"Heeey y/n! You want some candy?"
"Hell yeah!!"
"Thats greeaaaat! All you have to do is wrangle smile dog for me and bring him back inside!"
Challenge accepted
And hey, you when he took you to the gas station, he even let you get a slushie!
Eyeless Jack
When you heard of all the nasty stuff jack keeps in his medical wing, you immediately wanted to check it out
You found all sorts of things
Liver, intestines, blood bags...
Lots of gross stuff to fuel your interest
For about 30 minutes
Then jack came back into the medical wing
He picks you up by the collar of your shirt and glares at you
You giggle innocently "um...oopsies?"
"Don't try that with me. What were you doing in here"
"I just wanted to look..." you mumble in a whiny tone
He sighs and rubs his face, before placing you back down on the ground
"Well, you've had your fun. Now get out."
You pout "awww come on! Can't I stay just a little longer?"
Good lord how your whining hurts his head
He massages his temples before handing you a scalpel
"Here. Now run along and go find something dead to poke at"
You gasp and observe the shiny metal for a moment, before running off and doing just that

Prompt: Ochako is trans, but his family doesn't have the money to help him, Ochako is worried that his friends will dislike him, both Midoriya and Ilda (they are a couple) know, and are willing to help.
(Ochako is now Chaya as one version of Chaya can mean 'tea' and Ochako means 'tea child')
He needed a new binder. Chaya adjusted the binder with a grimace, the bands cutting into his arm pits. To much muscle, plus he'd gained the same type of chest as his mother. If he was a girl like they had thought he'd have liked it.
Chaya sighed, finishing his fiddling. It would have to do. He dressed into his uniform, feeling the same bone deep gratefulness he always did. UA was amazing, they had gone so far for him. He wasn't called Ochako, he wasn't told to use the girl's washroom nor did he have to sleep on the girl side of the dorms. He was a boy to everyone, and it was awesome.
He just wished he could have the money for a new binder or hormones.
Leaving his room, Chaya headed down to the kitchen were he saw his best friends Tenya and Izuku. They'd started going by their first names after they'd been tangled up in Hosu. Chaya had gotten an internship with Native who was attacked by the hero killer, and then Tenya came in looking for revenge followed by Izuku saving them... it was like out of a movie or anime, the dashing hero saving the day. It was no wonder Tenya fell head over heels for the other boy.
Honestly if Chaya was gay he'd be all over Izuku. He however was straight and had a terrible crush on Yaoyorozu. She was just to pretty.
"Hey guys!" Chaya said to them, smiling as Tenya blushed, his arms leaving their place around Izuku who grinned at Chaya. It was then the brunette noticed they were in casual clothes. "Did something happen?" he looked around, puzzled at the lack of classmates and their attire.
"Email got sent out," Izuku said. "Class is cancelled thanks to Aizawa and a few other teachers being called out to a strategy meeting about the war. The Hero Commission apparently tried to get us students out to fight but the President found out. He's pissed and sent the military instead."
"Oh," Chaya blinked. "...They wanted students on the front lines? Really?"
"They did," Tenya shook his head. "Some of our class are sleeping in, others are training or studying in the library."
"We wanted to ask if you want to come to the mall," Izuku said. "There's a sale on at a merch store I'd like to check out. Or we could just wander."
"Sure, let me change out of my uniform," Chaya smiled at his friends. It didn't take long before the three headed to the mall nearby, a twenty-minute walk. The mall had once increased prices to outrageous limits due to UA being around, but Nezu did something to actually have it become the mall with the lowest costs in all of Japan.
The merch store did have some amazing pieces, even a poster of Thirteen Chaya bought for barely 555.64 yen! Once they were done, they wandered around the mall until they found themselves at a store Chaya recognized.
It was the same store he got his binder from. He hesitated, looking at the store, looking away to see his friends looking back.
"We... noticed your binder is to small," Izuku blurted out. Chaya felt his blood go cold.
While most of the intolerance towards the Queer community went away with Quirks, being trans still wasn't as accepted as being gay or bi or whatever. Chaya knew plenty of queer people who despised trans people, having had an incident with a former friend who despite being bisexual hated him. It was heartbreaking, and had been what led him to his silence about his identity before.
Yet, standing there Chaya only saw warmth in their eyes. He saw them looking kind.
"An early birthday gift," Tenya said as he pulled out some money he handed over. "You can't go around with a to small binder, you can get hurt."
"Yeah," agreed Izuku. "You're our friend Chaya. We want you safe."
Chaya looked at the money and then at his friends. He beamed widely, feeling some tears trickle down his face. "Thank you! I'll be a while, can we meet up at the food court?"
"Sure!" the couple walked off with a wave goodbye, and Chaya entered the store beaming. A shop assistant, who had been close to the entrance and obviously heard, gave him a grin.
"You have some good friends there."
"I do," he agreed, meaning every word.

i actually do wonder how sales for foolishs merch would be while its still under dream branding. his audience has majorly shifted and most of them despise dream, wonder if they would refuse to buy it and if it would manage to hurt the profit a noticeable amount.
but honestly i really wouldnt read that much into it, foolish hasnt released merch in a very long time and frankly as long as creators arent being petty on main i dont really care how they feel about dteam, itll be sad but i can at least respect the maturity which all these other creators lack.
I mean yeah I don't really think foolish was probably bringing in a ton of sales period. Even when his chat was mainly dteam positive, I feel like I never saw people with his merch and I don't see people selling it on depop/poshmark/ etc. neeearly as much as other CCs which indicates to me that it wasn't selling great to begin with.
I think sometimes creator success on twitch just doesn't translate to physical merch sales and that's completely fine.
I just don't think that it should be assumed that it's because of anyone hating dteam or anything like that because you'd be surprised about how little of his chat actually know that his merch is made by dream branding (mostly because he never promotes it so no one actually knows he has merch)

I'll say it again. Andor is the best Star Wars show.
And that's because they didn't let Dave Filoni anywhere near it.
The show is called 'Ahsoka' but is actually an unaired season of Rebels. It ought to have been called 'attempted massive retcon at unwise forward speed' or 'Sabine has abandonment issues and makes poor decisions.' There are good scenes (possibly from another show, which one is anyone's guess) strung together with tired plot devices. Thrawn was chucked into this mess because there was no other way to move the plot. I did dig on some of the details like the signs of age and hard living and the obvious condition of the Chimaera. Other than that - pfft.
Turning to Thrawn - I am an unabashed fan of the Zahn-authored 2017 Trilogy and the HTTE trilogy (except the ending). He is complex neither all good or all evil. He is an antagonist and protagonist at once. Someone to root for and also against. Did he contrive his exile to join the Empire and possibly take it over in order to protect his people? It's possible. I don't think we'll ever find out, though. That being said, I don't think we're going to get much more from two more episodes.
One of my friends said that Filoni writes for children's shows, and it's true. The characters are almost cartoonish, not understandable as adults, but as kids understand adults to be. Perhaps I am expecting too much from an eight-episode MCU-kin show, but there was time to develop Sabine, or FFS Ahsoka (you know, the protagonist?), to fill in whatever has gone on in the past nine years since the Battle of Yavin, five years after Endor. For Sabine and Ezra, there should have been more feeling in that scene than the swell of the music.
A lot of the blame rests with Disney, and the paranoia-controlled process to stamp out leaks at all costs. There is a continuity to writing a script, working out the story boards, reading the script, and then shooting that is entirely lacking in franchise-oriented product. Franchise oriented product is formulated to sell merch and streaming subscriptions, and to drive bodies into theme parks. It's marketable.
The writers' and actors' guild strikes are ongoing. I'm content to wait - writers and actors have been getting screwed, fucked, and buttered without mercy for years. There is a new intensity to the talks as the studios start to sweat.
Final note: I love Thrawn, but the ageism of a vocal part of the fandom makes me want to still be around when these people hit 50. Age and illness and injury HAPPEN. Our bodies do not work as well when joints break down, we get hurt, or sick. Even when he regain functionality, it doesn't all come back. Even when our lives are saved, there are still sequelae. It's made me think less of some folks.

Sam reacts to: i have a spicy confession..
- Did he forget one dot or was this intentional, because the lacking third dot is bugging me.
- NOT THE GOLDEN PIG, IT HAS BEEN SO LONG WTF. I can't believe he kept this secret from us this long and I can't believe my first thought was that Phil's ass broke the pig and I was right...
- Quiff and slit makes him look so daddy, I don't have any other words.
- "my tummy hurts and I am not being brave about it" feels very on brand with my recent fic and Phil being genuinely so soft and caring, YES PLEASE I LOVE HIM.
- NordVPN coming back is impressive after that last sponsorship, fully thought they would peace out but here they are again, just as loyal as all of us apparently.
- "Why are you telling me this on Instagram?!" Phil's panic was palpable, somehow he always underestimated just how much people are willing to share on the internet.
- I want to know what he censored or maybe I don't...
- "We're thriving" - queue Dan screaming, truly the best possible video to add at this point.
- I WANT TO SEE DAN HOWELL DRAG PLS ANON GIVE THIS TO US
- DAY IN THE LIFE MENTION GIVE IT TO US PLEASE BEGGING ON MY KNEES
- No Phil don't regret the Catboy merch, it is the best merch and I am finding unknown confidence with it. I legit wore it at work last weekend because I simply did not give a fuck and was debating wearing it on the plane to London tomorrow. (I decided against it, because I am afraid I'll spill something and want to wear it to the show at night.)
- I love how expressive Phil's face is, like he has such a wild face to watch to the point it makes me uncomfortable because it feels like he is starring into my soul.
- Phil being so wholesome about the person without friends and he is so right. To anyone feeling like it, things change, times change and you have no idea what might happen in the next few weeks or months. Right now isn't forever and it might feel hopeless and lonely and miserable but things are never permanent.

If you're an ace who likes sex and dislike the existence of ace merch and positivity posts that center around aces who are uninterested in or actively repulsed by sex, have you considered you are not the targrt audience for those things despite being ace due to the fact asexuality is a wide spectrum and the solution is to promote more merch and posts that are inclusive of additional experiences rather than trying to cause there to be less posts abd merch for those aces who are alienated by the "don't forget ACES CAN FUCK PLENTY OF ACES LOVE SEX (YOU CAN DATE US WE PROMISE WE WILL STILL FUCK YOU)" messaging?
Like. I, personally, still live in a society that will insist any relationship that doesn't have sex is "lesser" than a relationship that does, that still often wants to treat lack of sexual attraction (to say nothing about low or no libido or active repulsion to sex) as a medical dysfunction to be "fixed", that still tries to insist sex is a fundamental part of the human experience (and if you don't have or want sex you're inhuman).
I still see people making the argument that it's inherently abusive for sex-repulsed aces to date anyone but each other because refusing to fuck their romantic partner is withholding sex to hurt their partner (even if they were upfront about this before and the other person agreed), or that aces can't be surprised when their partner cheats on them because if they didn't want that they should have fucked them regularly.
I still see stuff about sex-repulsed aces who have partners who assume that their ace partner will change their mind and fuck them then it causing an issue when it turns out that's not going to happen.
IDK, going "hey it's really off-putting to see positivity posts and merch aimed at aces who have a wildly different experience than I do, maybe reconsider and make your stuff more inclusive of me personally" comes off very "I am uncomfortable when we are not about me?"

Quick question!! So with the recent episode of MD out (I'm not sure if you've seen it yet, but if you have you could answer this if ya like) are you worried for how the show is gonna handle the love triangle between Uzi, N, and V? Because ship wars are still going on at least over on Twitter and Envy shippers are going crazy and insane, plus it doesn't help that some of them are toxic (not saying that Nuzi shippers aren't toxic too, because they are) but, I'm worried that these shipping wars are gonna get worse and heck, it even concerns me that shipping could end up ruining the show..just look at shows like Miraculous Ladybug + Star Vs, but Star Vs is a huge example because that show was pretty much ruined by shipping and it also ended up making Starco feel rushed at the end..I've seen people point out that the love triangle is common in Liam's work so maybe I'm missing something. But, are you worried for how this love triangle will be handled in the end and do you think it could ruin and mess up the show?? Also, which couple would you say you're rooting for (When it comes to Envy and Nuzi, at least) and who do you think works better as a couple? I don't wanna cause any shipping drama, but I was wanting to ask this question because it's been on my mind, it also gave me some concerns..because don't be wrong, I'm someone who enjoys and adores shipping and has fun with it, but there is something that I never wanna see is to have a ship take over the story entirely, you know what I'm saying?
Anon, this is not a quick question lol.
Idk I don't think the love triangle is gonna be all that important going forward. It felt like there was going to be some love dynamic between Uzi, N, V, and Thad but as of episode 5 I think that's all mostly scrapped now. Thad is completely irrelevant and it seems like episode 5 cleaned up the romantic plot threads between N and V.
Episode 5 is... weird to talk about regarding the romance threads in the series. Like yeah, it does offer some Envy moments, but then once they remember everything they go back to their dynamic up to this point. V immediately wants to hurt Uzi while N is much more excited to see Uzi again than react to V's quick embarrassed blushy moment. The events of this episode and the lack of any shipping merch for N and V kind of seal the deal for me that Envy isn't happening. Episode 3 went all in on the shippy vibes between N and Uzi on the marketing, so episode 5 not getting any for Envy just feels like proof to me, honestly.
However, most of the marketing was about N and Uzi, and while they are the main 2 characters, it feels like this episode was meant more to progress their dynamic along than N and V's. N had been saving Uzi from something every episode up to now, and this was finally Uzi's turn to repay the favor and boy do I have things to talk about regarding that. Uzi having so much ability to really mess with N, but Uzi ultimately not doing any of that because she wants what's best for him. Which, you'll notice is what V also wants, but the difference is Uzi actually communicates with him while V seems stuck on what her own idea of that is. Like, Uzi clearly has a crush on the guy, but even though she's seeing his past with V and how close they were she doesn't take any action to make him stop remembering things. She actually encourages him to uncover as much as he can, which he thanks her for at the end. I don't know how to put it, it's just such a risk she took even though she knew it was the right thing to do and I just really like that aspect of her character this episode.
Anyway, that wall of text is to explain my reasoning behind what I have to say on the state of shipping after this episode. I think the endgame ship is going to be Nuzi because I see no meta reason to ship otherwise. That's literally the only ship with merch behind it and it's the ship Glitch and staff seems to like the most art of. I feel that going forward, the show will end up going that route with these characters and people will either have to accept that or drop the show if shipping is really that important to them. And tbh, Liam's works aren't that focused on shipping anyway. There's probably going to be romance, but it won't be a tumor on the show. I haven't read any of his stuff yet where it felt like the romance threads were hurting the story tbh. That's another point for Nuzi tbh in that pretty much all of his main 2 duos have the most ship tease in his writing. I would not compare his writing to those other shows because Liam's writing is so distinct and has its quirks. Also, Murder Drones is written by a single person compared to these network shows which are written by many people, which is how you get these convoluted romance plots in the first place.
People are gonna be toxic, that's just a given and especially so because the main two ships in this fandom are at odds with each other. Once the show commits to one, I think things will chill down. I will say though, all the stupid discourse I see about Disassembler/Worker ships is pretty bad and misinformation keeps this a hot topic in the fandom. It's not a problem, yet people keep making it one and I cannot understand how this happens lol.
And yeah it's probably obvious but yeah I'm Team Nuzi. I've just always felt like Liam was aiming for it anyway plus I have a feeling that if the genders were swapped, Envy would be no where near as popular as it is. I get the appeal of Worker Envy, but Disassembler Envy is a whole different beast where V's treatment of N is still completely unaddressed. That's not to dis V exactly, but I think people forget that she remembered much more than N prior to episode 5 and cared enough about him to try to keep him safe from the Solver shenanigans. Her methods for doing that, however, definitely need to be addressed at some point. Like again, people forget that she didn't do all that because she didn't remember, she did that because she was traumatized and ended up hurting N because of her actions. Regardless of why she did it, she's still very harsh with him and hasn't made any steps to fix this. Also again, not to dis her as a character, she's obviously made these choices out of trauma and I think that's pretty realistic.
N also has baggage that V's presence gets in the way of, but since he's been with Uzi for a while he's been getting through it. When separated from V, N learns to grow a spine and respect himself. I think V can learn and grow too, but only if she takes a leave from N to get her away from the living reminder of her traumatic past. That's why I'm personally not into Envy in the current time, they cannot reconnect in the same way anymore, they are simply too different from how they were back in the past. Reconnection means a whole new dynamic, and at this point I don't think romance is in the cards for this new dynamic.

Obligatory insecurities Pt. I
This is a little angsty but mostly fluff, wasn't planning on separating it into parts at first but it just ended up being too long.
Whoops.
Lucifer
Behind pride, sits doubt. It lingers behind the day to day problems he has to chase after and solve, behind the piles upon piles of work he has to sift through each and every day, waiting for the straw to break the camel's back.
Only then does it come forth, bouncing in the space behind his eyes, demanding he think on his failures. Is he truly doing what's best for his brothers? Or is he really the tyrant they call him.
Would they be better without him? Back in the Celestial realm? All of this is his fault, he is the eldest, he can't make it okay.
That's when they come to him, the human who to him seems to suffer no such doubts. MC's gone and barrelled through the Devildom guns blazing like no human ever has, or ever will again.
They sit beside him, and merely hold him, cradling his head to their chest so he can hear the assured beat of their heart.
'You are perfect, you have done enough, we're okay. You're okay.'
Affirmations tumble from their lips, and as if by magic they overpower the bastard doubt echoing in his head, replaced with the warmth and assurance of them.
But the affirmations keep coming, doused with affection given without reservation or pride, until he can think of nothing but the peace they bring.
Mammon
It should be obvious what makes him break. One insult too many, misplaced blame too often, lack of trust from the demons he loves most.
He knows he's greedy, he can't help it. He wants to best, for himself, for his family, for the ones he loves to have everything they could ever want.
They don't see that, and one day, the witches get a little too close to violating parts of him which were never on the table.
Nobody cares though, because he got himself into this mess, he should suffer the consequences.
Nobody cares, but MC.
They've laughed at him being hung from the ceiling for something menial before, rolled their eyes at his pick pocketing gambling tendencies, but when they arrived to pick him up, their eyes were no joke.
For a second, he's sure they're going to snap at him, instead, they pull him in, and hug him like he can't ever remember being hugged before.
'Are you alright? Did she hurt you?'
'I...'m sorry, I just- I thought-'
He broke, and MC caught him, guiding him back to his room without speaking a word. If the witch had tried to stop them, he doubts she would've survived the attempt.
MC sat him on his sofa, brought him hot chocolate, put on music, and cuddled up next to him, all without a word.
He stares at the homemade hot drink in awe, he's not used to being taken care of like this, but when he looks up, there's that smile that's worth all the grimm in the Devildom.
'Don't be scared of calling me when you're in trouble, kay? I'll always come get you, no matter how you got yourself into it.'
Leviathan
Oh boy, where do we start here?
Envy is inherently insecure, he's always wanting things he doesn't have. The next season, a new merch line, all of it. Wanting, wanting, wanting.
It's endless, and exhausting. Being an Otaku is by far the most harmless of outlets he's had in his lifetime, but what's remained common, is his hatred of people.
People and their ability to socialise and make friends so easily. People who take those friends for granted and go forever without acknowledging them.
Between the want, and the hunt for more, his head is a mess of insecurity and desire, except in the presence of that one human.
MC just has to sit in his room with him, and suddenly, he envies no one, wants for nothing.
They bought themselves a bean bag and set it in his room, it's their space, a little piece of MC which stays in his room all the time. It even smells like them.
Even when they're not with him, he just glances at that purple bean bag, and smiles. He still wants, and chases, but the yawning chasm that once plagued him to get a better one, a bigger one, a faster one, was a little quieter, because he knows there's no improving on his best friend, on that little slice of peace that smiles at him from that bean bag and makes him lose when they look so dang cute.
Satan
His insecurities are...dangerous. He's learned that the hard way.
His wrath hurts people when he lets it out, hurts him when he bottles it up, and though he's had time to control it, sometimes, one's nature is unavoidable.
Wrath is not synonymous with control, he feels like all Hell has broken loose in his chest and throws everyone away.
Especially MC, if he hurt them, he'd never forgive himself.
He locked himself in his room, fighting not to rip the place to shreds, until something slid under his door.
A note, scented with chamomile, with three simple words in MC's handwriting.
I love you
At that moment, those words felt like the be all and end all, allowing him to slowly, carefully, bring himself out of his own head.
I love you, they wrote. They love him, despite his terrifying nature.
It must have been hours before he finally opened the door, and found MC, curled up in the hallway, resting on a pillow off their bed, sound asleep.
They'd been there all along, and would be every time he had an episode. They know they can't be near him, for both their sakes, if this is as close as they can get, they'll take it.
From then on, Satan knows he's not alone with his wrath.
Asmodeus
Pretty, pretty, pretty, has to be pretty. That's what they see, pretty Asmo, perfect, sexy, horny, lustful, and he is all of those things.
Is that all he is, though? Just...pretty. There's more to him than that...right?
He looks in the mirror, muttering affirmations to himself as he puts on his makeup, until he stops, and the tears start to fall. The mascara starts to run, and when next he looks up, it's with blurry eyes that he sees something so very ugly, but it's not his face.
There's nothing else to him, he fears, behind a pretty face, there's nothing else there.
Beside himself, he reaches out for someone, anyone, and MC answers the call in seconds.
They're at his side and cradling him like the most precious thing in the world, right there on the bathroom floor, as he blubbers his insecurities like a fool.
'Oh love, you've got so much more than beauty. You're so beautiful inside I wouldn't care if I could never see you again, I would still love you.'
'Re-really?'
'Abso-fucking-lutely. You bring me so much joy without even trying, you never judge and find beauty in so many things, the world is wonderful seen through your eyes.'
Sniffles replace his sobs and he melts into their embrace, laying affectionate kisses to their neck. 'Tell me more...please?'

Please Help These Animals
Hi. I'm not normally the type of person who shares random charity posts; this blog has a gimmick that I don't want to break. But this is something important to me, and with the number of followers that I've somehow amassed, I felt a responsibility to try spreading the word about someone in a desperate situation.
This is Enzo and Diego, two tigers who live in South Africa. Like me, you might have seen some of their more-famous videos on YouTube several years ago.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
youtube
youtube
Their owner, Michael Jamison, takes in rescued animals and raises them in a safe environment. This isn't some Tiger King scenario; he's not a stereotypical crazy rich guy who just owns exotic animals because he can. He got wealthy with a telecommunications business and then sold it a long time ago, and now just works day in and day out tending his flock. He's nursed many sick and hurt creatures back to health over the years, including bottle-feeding animals who can't eat on their own and rescuing a third malnourished tiger (Ozzie) from a circus. The tigers have a massive enclosed area with a pool and a fort, lots of space and friends to interact with, and they clearly love their owner.
Well, the South African economy has completely collapsed in the last 2 years, thanks to Covid and government mismanagement, and Michael is essentially flat broke now. And the YouTube algorithm destroyed his passive income…no one watches his videos anymore, so he can't get the word out about what's happening. I myself was wondering what had happened to him, and suddenly he popped back up in my feed after several years. He made a vlog last week discussing the situation, claiming that he'd barely eaten in days.
youtube
You're on Tumblr. You're probably a fierce anti-capitalist or something. If you're looking at his house and all the shit he owns and wondering "Why would I give money to a rich guy? Why doesn't he sell stuff? The dude has a helicopter and a suit of armor in his effing living room..." well, remember, South Africa's economy is in the toilet for everyone. Not to mention their country's import/export sanctions, and his lack of consistent internet. Michael's trying hard, but he can't really sell things because there's no one to buy them.
That's the tragic irony - the dude has 1 million subs but his videos can't get 10k views, and is surrounded by all this rich guy crap but can't afford to eat. And, besides, this isn't really about him.
The government is threatening to take his house and his animals, and with the way things are in South Africa right now, it's a guarantee that they will not be put in good homes. They all rely completely on Michael and his girlfriend Jackie. They're family.
Stumbling on this situation broke my heart, and I don't want to see Enzo & Diego (or any of his other animals) lose their dad and be put down or thrown into an abusive third-world zoo environment. He has a paypal, a merch store, and a GoFundMe. If even a tiny fraction of my followers donated a tiny bit to keeping his head above water, or at least shared his videos with other people, it would help tremendously.
I just hope it's not too late.

About my previous ask regards Izu shipping. I have to ask....why Ochako is the love interest?
Also I do know Ochako said in the Sports arc to Izu "you won't fight quirkless right?" Smth no fan of hers want to admit (why ? No idea...)
But where it comes from the "plain" comment?
Also....The love interest could easily be anyone else. Mei or Melissa (...Shig!) And things would be better. Like, what Ochako brings for Izu?
"oh she is poor" and I say...no, she isn't. Let me explain: she says she is poor/ had financial struggles but what are those? Her uniform looks hella expensive, and while fics try to explore this in many ways (some are so distasteful "Ochako is so poor, she can't eat...she has eating disorders" which gross and really wrong ...if she was that poor she would be desperate for money.) I think her poverty is an aesthetic to lazy highlight her at first....and then Hori drop the ball.
I think Izu is the poor one and would be interesting to see Izu having to sell his merch (maybe he did got full time jobs or smth or hell, maybe he does art online and the commission pays for the merch) for pay for tuition and food and stuff since no one else could do this ever.
To conclude: What Ochako brings for Izu? And aside her comments, she looks pissed seeing her love interest... Shig?😏he looks happy to see Izu (Mei and Izu work so well together. She touches his BURNED sketchbook... Ochako doesn't even know r school he went)
Hi @mikeellee 👋,
IzuOcha started started strong with the foundation of being each others first friends at U.A but as you mentioned Hori messes this up...
Ocha could have done with so much more development (both in general as a character in her own right and to explain why she is a good fit for Izu.) The poverty aspect of Ocha and the not eating seems like a distasteful way to show poverty by the fans but Hori doesn't do much better at showing her poverty himself. He drops the ball at developing her especially with this aspect - due to all the focus being given to Bakugou instead of her.
IzuOcha could have used many more sweet moments, deep moments where they bond and confide in each other (yet Izu gets more moments like this with his friends like Todoroki- and Izuku unfortunately isn't allowed by Hori to confide back.) And Izu seems to have more common ground with people like Mei who doesn't appear creeped out when he mumbles and they seem fond of each other.
Meanwhile Ocha, calls Izu plain (now suddenly finds him attractive despite his looks not changing that much), gets creeped out when he mumbles (which would hurt considering she's his first friend and Izu was bullied previously) and to add on top doubts his capability when he fights quirkless (which is ironic considering she then goes to train under Gunhead - it implies she changed her mind on this yet that could have been done being communicated if that's the case. So why wasn't it?)
To add on top of this; she, like all of 1A, went along with the Class 1A vs Izuku fiasco led by Bakugou, and canonically calls him nothing other than "Deku" when she (like Iida) could have insisted on calling him Midoriya when she learnt of the truth of the backstory of the name - both of these things also hurt the IzuOcha ship.
TLDR: The problem with IzuOcha and Ocha is a lack of development, along with Izuku not being allowed to confide in anyone - all of which can be blamed on Hori's overfocus on Baku and wish for him to be seen positively.
