“ That feels nice, love. “ Shanks murmured softly as he cuddled up to his lover, his voice low and soothing. Their bodies pressed together. It was pouring down outside. And Shanks arrived a couple of hours ago to spend time with his lovers Hawkeye Mihawk and {Reader}. He had missed them dearly so he was glad to take himself a warm bath and put on some dry clothes before crawling into bed with {Reader}. Mihawk was busy making a hot stew for dinner to battle against the cold weather. Shanks looked up at {Reader} that soft, boyish grin formed on your lover's face, making him look goofy. “ Has Mihawk been treating you right or being the boring man he always is? “ Shanks asked before flipping over onto his back pulling {Reader} with him holding them close to his bare chest. “ Mihawk has been treating me right, before the rain we were outside farming and he taught me how to make wine. “ {Reader} a fond smile played at the corners of their lips as they replayed the earlier memory of farming with Mihawk and how he taught them to make wine. “ Besides, Mihawk isn’t boring, he just knows things that other people think are boring. “ {Reader} sat up on Shanks and looked down at their redheaded boyfriend. “ What are the reckless things you do called? “ {Reader} asked. “ Thrilling and adventurous, especially when you come along. “ Shanks pulled {Reader} down pulling them into a passionate kiss. A kiss that was soft and tender filled with love and affection.

Shanks' lips gently exploring and tasting your lips. Both your arms wrapped around Shanks, drawing each other close, getting lost in the moment before pulling away for air. “ You know, you and old hawk eyes really know how to keep coming back here more and more, that I’m thinking of making it my new vacation spot. “ Shanks had a wide grin. “ I’m sure Mihawk would appreciate just having you on the island in his castle and not the entire crew. “ {Reader} warned as they arched their brow. “ I know, love of course it will be just me. “ Shanks rubbed {Reader’s} hips. “ Besides I want to spend time with just you and hawk, no one else, just us three. “ Shanks said. “ I would hope that would be the case. “ Mihawk’s voice said from the doorway. {Reader} and Shanks turned around to see Mihawk standing there with his black apron on that said “ Kiss The Vampire “ A gift Shanks had gotten him for his birthday last month. “ Hawkeyes! “ Shanks’ smirked sitting up slightly as Mihawk made his way over sitting on the bed and kissed your cheek then leaned down to also give Shanks a peck on the cheek. “ Dinner should be done shortly, I’m sure you two have been keeping each other company. “ Mihawk looked at you both with his piercing golden stare.

“ {Reader} is always keeping me company, we were just chatting and keeping each other warm. “ Shanks pulled {Reader} down, hugging them towards their chest. “ They are like a walking talking heater, just like you Mihawk. “ Shanks bellowed with laughter, the sound filling the room as he had a wide grin. Mihawk simply rolled his eyes at his lover before resting his hand on his lap. “ It beats your cold feet. “ Mihawk simply told him and looked at {Reader} who agreed with a nod. “ Oh, come you both love my cold feet. If you have to deal with my cold feet then just know I deal with both your snoring. “ Shanks looked at both you and Mihawk. Mihawk raised a brow and cocked his head to the side. “ I do not snore? “ Mihawk said. Shanks turned to you and nodded his head. “ You both snore. Like a wild beast in the deep sea. “ Shanks dramatically said. Both you and Mihawk looked at each other and rolled your eyes, Shanks was always dramatic but you didn’t mind that about Shanks. You sometimes think about how Shanks reminded you of a golden retriever while Mihawk gave black cat energy. Once Mihawk told you that you remind him of a sea bunny, you weren’t sure what to think but you did think sea bunnies were adorable. “ Are we just having stew for dinner? “ Shanks asked Mihawk. “ No, I also made rice and fresh baked bread. “ Mihawk said, then looked at you. “ And {Reader} made a chocolate cake with fresh strawberries on it from the garden. They made it before you arrived. It's sitting in the fridge. “ Mihawk pressed a kiss against your lip. “ Aww I’m so grateful to have a chef and a baker in my life, without you guys I’d probably starve. “ Shanks kissed Mihawk’s hand.

Mihawk listened to the rain outside as he closed his eyes. He had always enjoyed the rain because it was good for the crops. “ Even though you are a pain sometimes, you have become my pain. “ Mihawk opened his eyes looking at Shanks. “ And what is {Reader}? “ Shanks asked while rubbing your lower back. “ A blessing and angel, sometimes can be a devil but that’s because you pull them into your mischief. “ Mihawk rolled his eyes before standing up. “ Get up and put on your shirt, you can set the table. “ Miahwk told Shanks before looking at you. “ Can you let Perona and Zoro know that dinner is about ready. “ Mihawk left the room. Shanks kissed your stomach before gently laying you on your side before getting up and putting on his shirt. “Zoro is here? “ Shanks asked, pulling the white shirt over his head. You nodded your head. Zoro had been here for a while training with Mihawk, and also helping with the farming. “ Still trying to become the greatest swordsman? “ Shanks leaned against the bedpost. You got yourself out of bed as you stretched letting out a grunt. “ Of course, it’s his dream that he tried to surprise attack Mihawk during training but… “ You trailed off trying to suppress their laughter. “ Mihawk was quick like always? “ Shanks raised a brow. “ Yup, and Zoro landed in the cactus plants, Perona had to remove the prickles while Mihawk scolded him why his surprise attack wasn’t a surprise. “ You covered your mouth as you laughed. But Shanks barked with laughter and wiped a tear from his eyes. “ Luffy sure has a colorful crew and that swordsman is quite the color. “ Shanks left the bedroom laughing.

You left the room and walked down the hallway towards Perona’s room. The pastel pink ghost girl was making herself an outfit using a mannequin to place what she had finished on it. She had been begging Mihawk for a sewing machine and kit, but he finally managed to get it for her. Now she hasn’t been much of a pain in his ass. You stood in the doorway and cleared your throat. “ Perona, Mihawk said that dinner is ready. “ You told her. Perona looked up as she set aside the pastel pink fabric that she was adding flowers to. “ {Reader}! Come here please, I want to try something on you. “ Perona begged and pouted. Perona’s puppy eyes never worked on Mihawk but you were no match for them. So you sighed stepping into the room as Perona slipped a raincoat on you. It was a pink raincoat that had white roses on them and her ghosts. “ I had this idea when it started to rain. “ Perona hummed happily as she examined you from head to toe. “ So, do you think they are ever going to propose? “ Perona casually asked as she went to fetch a sewing needle. You were taken back to the sudden question. “ I’m not sure Perona. “ You said standing there in the raincoat. “ I think Mihawk will get you the biggest ring, I don’t doubt Shanks will either. “ Perona giggled before moving away. “ This raincoat is wonderful, I think I’ll make you, Mihawk, Shanks, and Zoro one! “ Perona pulled the raincoat off of you before leaving her bedroom with you. Zoro was strolling down the hallway, good thing since you don’t have to look for him. “ Zoro, dinner is ready” You told him. Zoro stopped in his tracks and turned back around walking towards the dining room. “ Zoro did you know if Mihawk marries {Reader} which he will, but when he marries {Reader} that we’ll be their children. We’ll have three parents. How cool is that! “ Perona squealed in delight. “ Yeah, wonderful a son trying to kill his father and can’t wait to tell my captain that the person who is also like a father to him is my father now. “ Zoro’s voice is full of sarcasm. Perona gasped, stopping her tracks. “ I forgot about that rubber simple minded rubber guy, Shanks does see him as a son which means {Reader} will have three children. {Reader} when you guys get married remember that I’m the favorite! “ Perona declared.

Zoro chuckled and scoffed, Perona heard him and looked at him. “ What’s so funny Cactus Butt? “ Perona huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. Zoro's eyes twitched at the nickname, a reminder of his mistake from yesterday. “ What’s funny is that say if I was okay with being the son of {Reader} do you think that you would really be the favorite? “ His eyebrow hitched up. “ And why wouldn’t I be, I’m loveable as a strawberry cupcake. “ Perona placed her hand on her hips, sticking her tongue out at Zoro. “ Yeah, like a rotten strawberry cupcake. “ Zoro rolled his eye. Perona and Zoro bickered their way into the dining hall. Even bickering when they took their seats. Shanks who was already sitting and drinking what you assume to be spiced rum. “ What are they fighting about? “ Shanks leaned over and whispered. You took a seat and pulled up your chair. “ They are fighting over, when we get married who will be the favorite. “ You said, pouring yourself some tea. Shanks’ face lit up with a wicked smile, as he came with a scheme to mess with them both. “ Why are you two arguing about favorites? What if a new kid pops into the picture and becomes the favorite? “ Shanks asked with false concern in his voice. Perona’s eyes widened; she hadn’t thought of that, Zoro simply rolled his eyes. “ Shanks, quit it and you two stop arguing about favorites. There are no favorites underneath this roof. “ Mihawk’s voice was stern as he rolled a cart into the dining room that had five bowls of hot stew, rice, and bread. “ Oh, calm down ole’ hawk eyes, I’m just teasing the kids. “ Shanks chuckled. “ Ouch! “ The redhead’s laughter was cut short when you stepped on his foot. Mihawk looked at you with a smirk before making sure everyone had their food before taking his own set.

After dinner you stood in the kitchen helping Mihawk with dishes. “ {Reader} love, that chocolate cake was absolutely delicious. Just as sweet as you, my treasure. “ Shanks walked up to you wrapping his arm around your waist. “ Thank you Shanks~ “ You turned around kissing him on the nose. “ And don’t think I forgot about your beef stew, you could have a single potato and make it taste delicious. “ Shanks stepped away to wrap his arm around Mihawk. The swordsman only responded with a grunt but you could see he was smiling. “ Next time, you’ll be helping with cooking even if I need you to peel carrots and dice onions. “ Mihawk turned round , hugging Shanks into his chest. “ Or even just filling up a pot of water. “ Mihawk chuckled softly. “ I have you know when I’ve cooked for my men before and they go wild during chilli night and spaghetti night, right {Reader}? “ Shanks looked at you. You couldn’t deny Shanks knew how to make a mouthwatering chilli and spaghetti. You nodded your head while drying your hands. “ Then you won’t mind making dinner tomorrow. “ Mihawk raised a brow. “ You got yourself a deal, hawk eyes, just you wait, my spaghetti will leave you craving more, like you do in the bedroom. “ Shanks playfully nudged Mihawk and winked. Mihawk’s face slowly turned red like a rose as he looked down at Shanks, while trying to maintain a serious look. You walked away leaving your boyfriends to talk with each other, more like let Shanks tease Mihawk until he turned different shades of red. You walked into your bedroom. When you started living with Mihawk, he was the first to ask you to move from your village to his castle, you agreed and you told people in your village that you were starting a new chapter in your life and going on an adventure. You couldn’t tell them that you were dating the greatest swordsman also known warlord. Ever since then you’ve been living in comfort thanks to Mihawk, you slipped out of your clothes and stood in the shower letting the warm water greet your body. You closed your eyes and sighed, a warm meal and shower was doing wonders for you. You opened your eyes as there was a knock at your bathroom door. “ It’s me dear, mind if I join you? “ Mihawk’s soothing voice graced your ears. “ Yes, hawk, you can join me. “ You grinned as you heard him close the door and undress. He stepped into the shower behind you and began trailing kiss on your shoulder. “ How was your moment with Shanks? “ You asked while you leaned into Mihawk’s kisses. “ Is waiting for me to finish showering up and join him in his room, the bite marks I left on him got him railed up. “ Mihawk spoke in between kisses. “ You could join us if you want? “ Mihawk looked at you.

You turned around and looked at him, cupping his face, your thumbs rubbing small circles on both his cheeks. “ I’ll join, I was going to dive into another chapter of the book you got me, but I’ll never pass up an opportunity with my fellas. “ You kissed Mihawk’s jaw as his eyes closed from your sweet kisses. He always told you that your kisses felt like butterflies. Mihawk helped you wash up in the shower before the two of you dried off and got dressed. You slipped into the black robe that matched Mihawk’s oh how this man had a thing for seeing his lovers match with him, it was like he had a claim on them.

The night went on as Mihawk laid in bed listening to the rain after a passionate night with his lovers, he thought he would be asleep but he stared at the ceiling. He looked over to see how Shanks held you from behind. You were holding onto Mihawk’s hand. Mihawk reached out resting his hand against your cheek, Mihawk never thought in his life that he would be in love or in a relationship especially with Shanks. Him and Shanks were getting together before they met you. And when Mihawk saw you, he felt all sorts of emotions, but he didn’t know that Shanks also met you when drinking at a bar with you that he also felt the same way. That’s when they decided to pursue you together, and tried their best not to scare you away, they didn’t want you overwhelmed or feel pressured into dating them but they were surprised when you agreed to date them both, that memory lived deep in Mihawk’s heart and made him even realized that it was okay to let people in. “ Still awake hawk eyes? “ Shanks' voice was weary, a hint of sleepy tone as he woke up. “ Just thinking… “ Mihawk looked at Shanks. “ About? “ Shanks looked at Mihawk while still holding onto you. “ You and {Reader}, having you both in my life is interesting, the castle is less quiet and I feel less alone. Then what Perona and Zoro it is like we are a family. “ Mihawk felt strange saying this but also slightly happy. “ I’m glad you are happy hawk eyes, that’s all me and {Reader] want for you. “ Shanks leaned over to give Mihawk a kiss. The two engaged in a passionate kiss, a sweet and tender kiss. You opened your eyes and looked up seeing your lovers kiss. “ Kisses without me. “ You yawned as you looked up at them. Mihawk broke the kiss and looked down at you. “ {Reader, did we wake you up ? I apologize if we did. “ Mihawk leaned down kissing you. “ No, you did but I don’t mind. I was actually listening to you and Shanks talk while my eyes were closed. “ You sat up with the blanket. “ Sneaky minx~ “ Shanks kissed your neck. “ It’s not sneaky to hear my boys talking. “ You pinched both of Shanks’ cheeks. Mihawk watched you as he couldn’t imagine falling in love with anyone else, and just maybe marriage was in the near future with you and Shanks.

I’ve been thinking about a Tasmanian Devil hybrid!reader, very cute and not actually that aggressive though can bite very hard. Devils share meals too, so the 141 (or Graves, I know you’re a sucker for him) being confused on them growling only to show up and eat with them. Also the easiest way to get them to chill out is scruffing them.

THATS SUCH A COOL IDEA.

Also the “rotund appearance” part made me audibly chuckle.

But yes! Phillip, my beloved, and his pack of Shadows would treat Tasmanian devil!Reader so well.

I think a few of them might end up in a med bay after picking up on a smaller-sized hybrid as Reader because yeah, Reader can and will bite hard enough for them to need like 13 stitches.

It is said that devils are solitary but not monogamous creatures and I can imagine hybrid Reader being more inclined to have their own space while maintaining the (harem) pack of Graves and the whole Shadow team of like seven people give or take.

(Reader has many concubines, I said what I said).

I know that oftentimes Shadows are portrayed either as wolves in hybrid AUs or like vampire offspring (Bluegiragi’s AU), but I think it would be really fun if they actually were birds of prey.

Some of them eagles, some of them hawks, one shoebill, two vultures and maybe a condor. And then there is Reader with their “rotund appearance” and very sharp teeth and very strong bite reminding gents not to get ahead of themselves because devils are in fact carnivorous and Reader doesn’t mind taking a bite of someone’s wing to calm them down

What's your favorite art piece you've worked on? (Btw love your art)

Thank you for enjoying my art! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ

Trying to pick one favorite out of my 500+ artworks? That's like asking me to pick my favorite child! (๑íヮì๑) Okay, maybe not that dramatic, but I do have around 70 favourite personal pieces ("personal" because I didn't include commissions), so it's tough.

Instead of a single favorite, I'll share my top 7 most challenging works. They all hold a special place in my heart:

Dabihawks fanart based on a frame from "Interview with the Vampire", because it's the only piece of realism I made outside of my academic work.

this Dabi fanart. This was a redraw of an older piece, and I really pushed myself to try a different style.

this Shigadabi fanart. I'm super proud of how the rendering turned out on this one.

reference sheet of Dabi and Tomura for my shigadabi mer!AU.

this Hawks fanart. I like the composition and the fact that I used coloured pencils (I'm more into digital art than traditional art, so the experience was entertaining).

incubus Shigaraki fanart

this mer!Dabi fanart

I've also done nsfw illustrations for Dabi fanzine, but I can't share those publicly just yet ( ТᴗТ )

You decided that you had enough of the sweaty dancing bodies on the first floor of the mansion. Bumping and pushing your way into the crowd, almost elbowing a guy in the stomach for not getting the hint that you did not want him to grind on you. Sweat dripped down your cheek as you eventually made it to the stairwell. Exploring the second floor only to find that most of the room was already occupied from the noises you were hearing. Sounds like most of them were having a good time as well. Sighing, you took your weary leg up another flight of stairs, up to the third floor of the mansion.

Finding this floor to be relatively empty, only a couple of stoners laze around the hallway or some of the open rooms you peeked in. The heavy smoke wafting through the air was enough for you to be feeling woozy, stumbling your way further down the floor and finding an empty hallway leading to a grand set of double doors. You push on it and shuffle your way in, taking in a deep breath of clean air. Enjoying how you could breathe easily without coughing your lungs out now. You rub your eyes as you take a clear look at the room you were in, lines of shelves filled with various books enter your vision.

Of course, the weird old creepy mansion has a grand library in it. It was eerily quiet in the library, you half-expected some old decrepit librarian lady to come and shush you as you shut the door behind you, the hinges creaking loudly. A sign that no one has used this place in a long while, if the small coating of dust bunnies on the bookshelves weren’t evidence enough. Still, it was better than the other hallway, a little bit of dust never hurt anyone anyway. You decided to stay here for a while, eyeing the titles of books as you walk further into the library.

“Science, History, Math too? Was the owner a teacher or something?” You ponder your thoughts out loud as you read some of the titles that caught your eye. “The Adventure of the long-nosed Liar, 101 ways to scam someone, How to Cook Oden, Finding the One Piece in your life….��  None of these really interested you, your eyes were so focused on scanning the Shelves that you didn’t realize that there was someone else in the library with you. Someone who has been watching you the entire time, from the moment you stepped into the library, his piercing golden eyes were trained on you. 

Mihawk would usually just use his power to convince anyone who finds the library to leave immediately, he wasn't about to let anyone ruin his safe haven. Annoyed that he got tricked by a certain red-haired- drunk into even coming to this party. However, when you came in, he was taken aback by your mouth-watering scent. So he stayed back, carefully watching your every move like a hawk. You were dressed as a murder victim or that’s what he believed at least, a white collared dress splatter in fake blood. He knew it was fake from the awful chemical smell that was coming from it. It was a simple costume for someone who also didn’t really want to attend this party either. 

Mihawk licks his lips as he thought about painting your dress with real blood instead, covering that awful synthetic smell with your sweet honeyed aroma instead. The fake blood was too lightly colored anyway, real blood would be a nice richer color, like the color of his favorite bottle of wine. These thoughts swirl in his head as he continues to observe your actions, scrunching up his nose as you come across some vampire themed novels. How ironic he thought silently, seeing you picked a book called “Marked by the Vampire '', raising an eyebrow in curiosity when your heartbeat quickens a bit when you skimmed through the book.

The book you just picked up just so happened to be a raunchy and steamy romance novel, one of those that the ladies in book clubs will absolutely fawn and gossip over for days. You landed on a page right in the middle of a sex scene. The poor innocent village girl who was taken captive by the dark and broody vampire was now being pinned underneath him, your eyes glued to the pages as you read on; “His fangs grazed her neck, not yet puncturing in, just a light tease. His hands groped down on her body, feeling her terrified nerves with every single moment he made. She gasps out as one of his hands roam under her dress, pulling it up and-”

“You seem quite captivated by this book, it must be an interesting read.” A rich and mysterious voice spoke out from behind you. You drop the book instantly, turning back to come face to face with a tall dark-haired stranger. He was dressed like some sort of slutty vampire? If you had to take a guess, that is, considering that he was wearing a high-collared dark cape, a brimmed feather hat, and those fancy high-waisted pants. But no shirt, so you were free to ogle at his extremely toned abs and his also very muscular arms when he bends down to pick up the fallen book.

Muscles and ogling aside, how long has he been here for anyway? Were you just too absorbed into reading to notice someone come in? The door’s hinges should have alerted you with how loud they creaked earlier. Or was he in here the whole time and you just never noticed? It gave you a dreadful feeling in the pits of your stomach. You were alone, far away from the rest of the party, with a stranger who looked like he could pick you up by the throat with one hand. You nervously start to shift away a bit from him, only for him to stop you with one glance down of his golden eyes. 

His calloused hands held the book open, right on the page where you left it. “Planning on leaving so soon? It looked like you were enjoying this book, apologize if I startled you.” His eyes switched back to the book and its pages, you could see the small movement of his pupils as he browsed over the text. “Very interesting read, I can see why you were so engrossed in it.” His facial expression was neutral but his tone gave away his thoughts on it, it had a teasing lilt to it and something else you couldn’t put your finger on. 

You chuckled out shakily, shrugging your shoulders back in reply. “I just didn’t notice you came in here that’s all. Or were you here before me? Anyway, I was just bored and the book looked like it was fun but that doesnt mean I was that into it!” A delicate blush rushes up to your face as you try to defend yourself, being caught reading something smutty and enjoying it by a handsome guy. Mihawk’s eyes narrowed upon seeing your blush, he could practically hear the rush of blood in your veins at this point. He chuckles out himself, “No need to be ashamed now, my dear. Everyone has needs, don’t they? I know I certainly do. Ah, How about this then? Since we both don’t seem to be fond of the party, why don't we find something fun to do here.” 

You noticed that he didn’t answer your questions but your mind was getting fuzzier by the minute, was the weed hitting out this late or something. Mihawk took a couple of steps towards you, his free cupping your cheek gently, running a thumb over your skin. “We can even recreate some of the scenes in this book, if you so like, my dear.” His eyes seemed to bore right into your soul, your body froze up, but your skin felt like it was gonna melt from how fast it was heating up. Mihawk throws the book behind him, leaning his head down to your neck. 

His hand on your cheek, forcibly tilting your head back so he could have more access to your pretty little neck. He wasn’t planning on drinking anyone's blood at this party, thinking that no one’s who would go to a party like this would have blood worth drinking. But you prove him wrong, still he wasn’t one to keep a victim or drain them completely. He finds it bothersome to have someone around all the time and getting rid of a body was equally bothersome as well. He would just do his standard routine of mind control and taking some blood and leave you somewhere else on the floor.

Erasing your memories of him and having you believe that you just got blacked out drunk. Clean, simple and cut, no need for anything fancy or extra work. Simple… that what he thought this was going to be, until he finally got a taste of your blood. His fangs sink in so easily, like slicing into a cake, the first savor of your sweet crimson nectar on his tongue had Mihawk moaning shamelessly. Sinking his fangs in even deeper than he usually does. His tongue flicked rapidly to lap up every single drop. 

Mihawk then lets go of you with another debauched groan coming from his throat. Your blood dripped down the side of his face and chin. The spell on your mind gradually loses its powers, your eyes blink reality back into existence slowly. Mihawk was wiping away your blood with a handkerchief when your mind snapped back together, you stumbled backwards and fell ungracefully on your ass. Scrambling away from your attacker, holding the two bleeding holes in your neck with a shaky hand. 

Mihawk was in shock, he never lost control like this before, but you… you were different from all the others he ever drank from. Comparing their blood to yours would be like comparing pig swill to a bottle of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grand Cru 1945. He couldn't let you get away so easily, but he wasn't going to resort to savagery. No, he had other ways to get you to submit, it should be easy, after all, he could smell your arousal leaking down on your panties…

He finished wiping away at his face, pocketing his handkerchief away and bending down on one knee and reaching out a hand to you. “Apologies once more, my dear. This has never happened… happened to me before.” It sounded like he was apologizing for cumming too early, not for freaking biting your neck! You glare at the hand he was offering to you, but you still stopped your escape plan for now. “I don’t know if a simple apology is gonna cut it for trying to kill me, you know.” You hiss out at him, swatting away his hand when it comes closer like a cat. 

Mihawk’s eyes widened by a fraction for a small second. “I wasn’t trying to kill you, my dear. I just wanted a taste but it seems that your blood was far more appetizing than I thought. Still, I would never kill you.” ‘You’re far too special for that.. And I have other things in mind for you…’ Mihawk levels his facial expression to look more docile, reaching out his hand once again. “I propose a deal, you let me drink some of your blood and I’ll make this night into an unforgettable experience for you.” He even gave you a small smile at the end, the slight quirk of his lips was enough to make you clench your thighs together.

Damn him and his handsome face…”What do you mean by ‘unforgettable experience’ exactly?” This time as Mihawk’s hand comes towards you, you decide to take it, his other hand swooping down to the small of your back to help lift you back up to your feet. He angles his head a bit towards you as he answers; “You know, my dear. I can tell how wet you got from earlier. My senses tell me that you crave in a different way. I can help take care of that for you, in simple exchange. A treat for a treat, shall we say? No tricks here.” 

His smooth sultry travels to your ear all the way down to your core. Could you really trust a stranger, lest alone a Vampire, to keep his word? You’re weren’t exactly sure but you when are you ever going to get the chance to fuck a vampire? You could just blame your poor choices on the copious amount of second-hand weed you inhaled on this floor. You licked your lips, looking back up at the vampire. “Could I at least get your name first?” You asked shyly, feeling more anxious and embarrassed that he could tell how aroused you were by him. 

Mihawk dips his head down to scrape his fangs over the pulse point of your neck. “Call me Mihawk, and you, my dear?” His hands grope at your sides, making you squeak out your name quietly. Mihawk runs his fangs over your neck once more, whispering your name over the bare skin. Then he pulls away from you, his pupils blown wide and lightly grabbing at your wrist as he leads you further in the library to a small corner with a couch in it. 

He sits down on it first, spreading his thigh out wide as he tugs on your wrist to make you come in between them. His hands back on your side as he purrs out; “I should warm up my meal first, right?” “You know, I really don't appreciate being called tha-ohhHah!” Your complaints got whisked away as Mihawk’s fingers went under your dress and palmed at your panties. His fingers pressing down heavily on the wet spot in the middle. 

His fingers pulled your panties to the side, exposing your pussy to the cold air and his strangely cold fingers as well. As he runs his fingers over your slick folds, your arousal drips down on his hand. He plunges in his digits into you, easily finding that spot that made your knees buckle. Your own hands grab onto Mihwak’s shoulder for balance, as he starts to find a good pace in and out of your pussy. The squelching noises echoed loudly in the eerily quiet library, your cries bouncing off the walls and back to you. “Mmff-fuc-fuck!” Mihwak kept going at an unrelenting pace, bullying your cute pussy, his wrist slapping sharply against your clit, your slick completely covering his hand at this point but he didn’t seem to care. In fact, as you try to focus your bleary eyes on his face, he was wearing a deadpan expression, his face unchanging even as your moans and knees get weaker and weaker when you start reaching your peak. 

Your fingers clawing deep into his shoulders, the coil in your stomach finally snapping and you gush out on his hand, soaking his sleeves even. “Mm-uwaahhh…ahh-ah?! Mi-Mihawk! Wait-please-ahhH-fuck!” Your body bends over, throwing your arms around Mihawk’s neck and shoulders and squeezing tight as your knees lose all of its strength. Mihawk kept on bullying your abused pussy with his fingers even through your orgasm, going at a faster pace than before. A second orgasm was already building up, Mihawk’s other hand holding you up from behind so you wouldn't fully fall over. 

“Fuck-fuck-fuck!” A colorful string of curses escapes your mouth as Mihawk forces another orgasm from you. This time Mihawk lets you collapse onto his lap, his non-stained hand massaging your back as you calm down. He softly put your thighs over his so you were spread open on his lap. His golden eyes scans your face as he unbuckles his pants and free his thick cock, rubbing the tip on your leaking folds, tilting his head in question. “Ready?” His low timbre voice was even, giving away no indication of how feral he felt inside. 

You pout at his tone, huffing out a whine; “Can you at least pretend to like this?” You murmured, hands coming up to cup his face, thumb tracing over his smooth skin, no sign of aging or wrinkles anywhere to be seen. Mihawk’s self composure almost breaks at your tender touch, he was trying his best not to give away his inner thoughts. On how he absolutely wanted to ruin you, corrupt you, take you away from the outside world and lock you in his castle with him forever. But he couldn’t risk scaring you off, he wasn’t one for the chase, he preferred to keep things neat and tidy. 

He breathes out, almost sounding annoyed, making you cringe inside. Your hands began to pull away only for Mihawk to grab them and put them back on his face. “Forgive me, my dear, I am just not used to…” He trails off, his eyes looking away from you and for a split second you could see the raging emotions he was hiding underneath. Feeling a bit bolder now that you know the kind of effect you had on him, you take action and lower your hips down, sinking his cock in you. Your previous orgasm made it easy for the first half of the stretch but he was far more lengthy than you thought. 

Mihawk groans out, feeling your tight walls squeeze him, it was like heaven on earth to him, your pulsing heat shook him to his core. Seeing you struggle to take him fully, he gets even more riled up, watching your cute scrunched up face and pussy swallowing up half of his cock. Your hushed pleas for help, as you continue to struggle. He places his lips back on the bite mark he made, pressing open mouth kisses on the wound, as his hand strokes at your swollen clit, the other one on your hip gently guiding you down. “I-I don’t think it's going to fit.” You whine, jutting your bottom lips as your pussy gets stretched out even more. 

“Don’t worry, my dear, it will fit.” ‘You were made for me after all…’ Everything about you drove Mihawk crazy and he would be lying if he said he wasn’t scared of this foreign feeling. He just thought that your blood was the only thing special about you, but he was wrong. You sink down slowly, taking in every inch of Mihawk, his thick throbbing vein dragging along your warm walls. As you finally bottom out on his cock, Mihawk sinks in his fangs, letting out a feral moan, almost to the point of whimpering. 

He greedily gulped down your crimson saccharine nectar, you tried to alleviate the pain by moving your hips but Mihawk stopped you. His thumb was still lazily rubbing small patterns on your clit so you weren’t completely without pleasure. He lets go of your neck only so he could speak, his voice raspy and laced with heavy desire. “Don’t move too much, just sit here and let me take my fill, and th-then I’ll give you everything, my dear.” You wanted to protest but you felt you would be punished badly if you disobeyed so you stayed as still as you could. With Mihawk’s cock buried deep inside of you, his thumb only gives you enough pleasure to distract you from the stinging pain of having your blood sucked from you. 

Mihawk slowed down his feeding, opting to lap sweetly at the blood, enjoying your small squirms and needy pants. He wanted to savor your taste, drinking too quickly would ruin his meal. He already made up his mind that he was going to kidnap you but that doesn't mean he couldn't have his fun with you right now. So it was, Mihawk kept you on his lap for what felt like hours, nipping at your neck when you tried to move too much or whine too loudly for his liking. Your mind starts blanking at some point, perhaps due to the bloodlost or from the constant edging, you had enough and didn't care about the punishment right now. 

You rutted your hips forward, hands clawing at Mihawk’s open chest pitifully. Mihawk would punish you like normal, but after drinking so much of your blood, he was drunk on it. Giving your neck one last long lick and pressing his bloodied lips on yours, into a searing hot kiss. “Can’t fucking wait anymore, can you?” He thrusts up his hips, ramming his cock straight into your cervix. Bouncing his thighs in a ruthless rhythm, his hands pressing down on your hips so you felt every inch of his length in you, with no room to wiggle or move out. 

“Panting like a fucking bitch in heat, haahh..” Mihawk grunted out, spreading out one hand to rub at your clit. “Is this what you wanted huh? Plap Plap…Plap! He stutters his hips once letting his cock almost slip out, only to slam it back in forcefully once more. Your eyes roll backwards, a whole new galaxy of stars appears in your vision. Your stomach tightens and snaps, releasing and gushing all over Mihawk’s thighs and lap. He presses his forehead against yours, running the bridge of his nose over yours for a bit. 

A hand off your hip and now running through your hair, calming you down, and honestly he needed to calm down as well before his own coil would snap, his cock still sitting heavily in your core. His thighs trembling with need and desire but Mihawk was determined not to cum just yet; “Hmmmm.. Was that good enough for you? Going to finally be good now?” He sighs out, his voice quivers just a bit, if you were more clear-headed you would have caught that but you just loll your head down on his shoulder as your hole clenches and unclench on his cock, trying to adjust once more.

He softly pats your head, bringing up his other hand and summoning a book to his hand. He settles back on the couch, bringing you with and secretly making sure you’re comfortable. “Now behave while I read alright? If you interrupt me again, your next punishment will be much harsher…”

Grey Swan I - Birds of a Rose

The Divine Flock. Some call them crazy, some even dangerous. Some even say the cult is hiding dark secrets. But, in all your life you have yet to find one. After all you should know should there be any dark secrets: you are a member after all! A member, not only of the Divine Flock, but also of the Avis Academy, the best school the cult has. Your life is quiet and follows a strict routine, at least until two Strays from the outside, the normal, world are allowed in the normally so closed off grounds and as a newly appointed Wing it is your job to keep an eye on one of them. With their arrival some of those dark secrets may finally come to light…

You ARE not playing as a BIRD!!!

New demo https://cogdemos.ink/go/3761

Some words before you play and TRIGGER WARNINGS: Most of those will only be active in the game due to a specific choice made by player! Due to the cult enviroment, the “typical” homo/trans/bi/a-phobia, sexism, abuse. Also blood and needles (with the option to be scared of needles so it won’t be shown), sexual abuse (only after two very clear warnings in game). Birds are only used in symbolism, basta.

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Dark Academia.

Moniker for MC: Wing MC.

Genderselectable MC: cis male or female, trans male or female. However due to growing up in a cult, MC wont know that trans is a thing/what it means, this is something MC can learn about. The same goes for sexual orientation: play as gay, bi, straight, aroace or ace, but be prepared for consequences.

Pick your level of devotion: be a devout follower of the teachings of the Divine Flock, reject it partly or wholly, or simply not care. All of it will have consequences.

Choose one of various school clubs, your volery, and get an unique storyline. Ranging from dance to school security, to managing your social media page.

Important people: Your flock, a group of younger pupils you were responsible for before the Strays arrived. You may not be their Wing on paper anymore, but you still hold a special place in their heart! They do miss you and are looking forward giving you a present on your birthday!

Your volery: whichever volery you joined, you are going to met pupils that are just as enthusiastic about your chosen interest as you are! Some more than others.

Your parents. It’s another question if the relationship between you is good, but important it surely is!

Grey Swan II - Hawks and Doves

Unless otherwise stated you are playing as a normal human! Two legs, two arms, internal organs, hopefully a brain too. We will see how much of this organ stays intact after state propaganda, will we?

Someone once said that you were the most happiest youth in the world after the Great Heartbeat, that had shattered the old world. Earlier you would have agreed in a heartbeat, wearing the light green uniform of your state youth organisation. But now? When war has come to Avistrions shores and news reels show only destruction ?

Choose your gender, way of thinking and stance while growing up in a religious dictatorship on the giant island Avistrion. Be a devout follower of the Divine Flock, the only thing that survived the earthquake that devastated the earth. Or be the Vulture, trying to rip it to shreds, while wearing the badge of youth leadership… where will you be when war strikes your so closed off country? Which side will you be on when it ends? Will you even survive long enough to see the outcome?

Grey Swan III - Wisteria Birds

Wisteria Birds (fantasy, drama, angst)! Currently on pause.

You are beautiful, trained in art and music. You are deadly, trained in the unique weapons that no one except you can use. You are dying. Kept alive by the very same thing that keeps you save from others abusing their power over you… You have no rights. But you can do whatever you want, even kill, without having to fear any consequences. You are the most pleasant death that anyone can wish for. You are an artwork. And all you are supposed to be is look pretty, show of your owners wealth. But oh, you could become so much more…

You play as a highly specialised trained entertainer… an Artwork, expensive companion to the rich and noble ones in Aklant, a country with rigid rules and unspoken laws, strict class divide and obsessed with anything that shows how rich they are… or at least let them appear rich. Artworks themselves are outside of this all, freed from all those social chains, but not seen as human… maybe its time to change that? Or leave the status quo as it is, up to you!

my chnt swap AU will now be called

camp this and that

idea originally provided by @fall3nash2339

all info about characters+ art links under cut😋😋!!

(NEWWER DESIGNS WILL COME SOON, ALL OF THESE ARE FROM A SLIGHTLY OUTDATED STYLE)

Edit: erm. All of this is so outdated cause I half abandoned it, it still spins around my cranium once a blue moon though

all the characters have the same physical appearance (except for sydney), personalities and roles are changed

the nurses~

head nurse: Elijah Volkov, he makes all the announcements, and is mentally decaying. Boy oh boy, is he quite the man. Silly little bpd man, collected mental illness like Pokémon. But he's caring, and will do just about anything in his power to help the campers out when needed. He has a knack for elephants, likes sharing fun facts, not only about elephants but anything and everything. No filter😋 if he's thinking it, he'll say it, obviously nothing bad will come of that. Trust issues, yummy.

assistant nurse: Adam Uptin, always carrying snacks with him, he can get you to share how your parents wronged you then shove a bag of skittles in your hand and walk away. Adam isn't a fan of leaving the nurses cabin, let alone his side office, something about being a vampire and ""ahhhh the suns"",,etc etc. Although, you can lore him outside with some sunscreen, an umbrella, and an apple.

camp counselors (all camps stay the same)

Cabin Dung Beetle: Juniper Sloan. long neck, dirty blonde. British man, he's scared of the water (blah blah blah "i'm experiencing the past, present, and future all at once and i can't breathe." yadda yadda yadda) besides the meltdowns and break downs, he's pretty silly

Cabin Grasshopper : Marisol Yuchengco, 👁️dresses in gothic attire, but she's one of the most understating counselors you'll ever meet. Salem de La Marnierre, 👁️scene kid vibes, lowkey really chill though. The two are dating<3 (basically just the same as chnt, just,,, ya'know,, swapped.)

Cabin Magpie Moth: Rowan Chow, the goofiest mother fucker in the entire camp. He can actually produce sound effects, he doesnt choose them or when they happen, that's up to the universe, they just come from his general area. This man runs off of actual cartoon logic, dont question it.<3

Cabin Silkworm: Yvonne Marley, femcel. That is truly all i have to say about her. She pull's misinformation straight from the internet and spreads it like mold on moist bread. Joshua MacHeath, tictok eboy, he can make a killer flower necklace though. Joshua will sit with the kids who can't/won't participate in certain camp activities and teach them how to make bracelets out of, well, anything and everything!

Cabin Tarantula Hawk: Lucille Bertuccelli,👁️ she's an older counselor, a sweetheart though. Not only does she keep cabin tarantula hawk up am running, but she also is in charge of the arts and crafts cabin! Gracie Liu (👁️lowkey, i forgot gracie liu existed, so all of her color are just inverted. no matter how you picture her in ur brain, just invert the colors)

Cabin Ladybug : Soren Baltimore, 👁️a bit of a quiet lad, it wears a cape given to it by fennel. soren wears pants that are cover completely in pockets, those pockets are practically infinite, anything you can imagine, soren has it in its pockets. Fennel Marlborough, 👁️our favorite camp taxidermist (don't tell anyone) they have the art of life preservation down to a tea, now if they can only get em to start moving again. soren and fennel are tightly nit, they made up two languages, one between only them and the other for the entire cabin.

Cabin Widow-spider: Matthew Napoleon, 👁️he is the void, don't be scared of him just based on looks though. Matthew will teach you about things you thought you knew (you didn't). Because matthew cant actually talk, due to all that void, he communicates in a fun mixture of sign language, charades, and various static esc noises. Matthew is also involved, if not running, most water based activities (and sometimes juno+mila helps out around the cabin)

the cafeteria: Mila Alcorn 👁️and Juno Matsouka, 👁️i say "and" instead of giving the two separate descriptions because they are inseparable, trust me, i've tried. these two fish folk work together in the kitchen to provide food for all the campers at camp this and that. Practically gourmet chefs, these two are quite creative. Even though there's two of them, you'll never have to worry about chaos in the kitchen, mila and juno always compromise with each other, causing for some never before tasted flavors

special doodads

head of camp: Warren Earthman,👁️ he's a, stern, tired, grumpy, old man. also the walls in are covered with different brands and types of chainsaws. beside the threatening aspects of him, he also openly picks favorites and doesn't listen to anything that doesn't openly concern him or the government.

the rot: Sydney October Sargent, a weird rotting man who lives in the woods surrounding the camp. Don't get to close to him without a gas mask, please, the spores that emanate off of him are damn near hallucinogenic. Besides the skin falling off his bones, the various species of bugs living within him, and all the mushrooms/fungus living from his decomposing self, he's almost harmless. I mean, he's in shambles, a corpse who just won't let go, just try not to breathe near him.

Martime: Jedidiah A.M. Martime, a man who keep appearing in my dreams, I don't have dreams often, why is here, in color no less. this annoying, clock obsessed, not even real, man keeps trying to tell me that he's "here for you," and "it's ok, you can take a brake, you have enough time." what that man needs to do is pipe down and accept the fact he doesn't even exist in the physical plane.

hands you cunty vampire guy

uhhh trying of think of facts to give you

-He has a complicated relationship with mainstream religion,especially christianity(more specifically catholism,as he was raised catholic),despite him losing that faith he still is really sentimental about it.As he always thought chruches were pretty,and he wanted to be a preist when he was a child.Though his mother shut that down immediately as he was raised a girl and girl's cant become preists.Funny now thinking about how he's the leader of a cult now.

i ship him with gregor ,one reason why he likes him is because he's sentimental .

-He quite enjoys birds.Especially hawks,eagles,and vultures.(he does not like nocturnal though,and just nocturnal things in general)

-His favorite flower is a sunflower.the flower listed on his picture above repersents him in plant language,which means ,"Cheerful thoughts, Sunshine, Hope, Desperate love, "There's sunshine in your smile" ,hopeless love"

-He has a strained relationship with his daughter Callista.As Callista,doesnt want her kids to be to involved with her father's cult,as she realized she grew up in a cult.She wont deny her kids the right to meet her father though.

-He is spiteful.And petty.

-His cult isnt very big,but it is decent in size having around 46 members.(I have only designed one member kinda,and thats Blanca.I also made another character for it named Hippolyta,whom i have not designed.I really need to make more characters for it) -He doesnt believe in global warming,as he believes is a punishment to non believers and a reward to those who do,how those things can coincide who knows

ididnt really know what facts to give this took me so long to write lol.hope you enjoy is.

MY HUSBAND!!!! God I love him- ohhhh this guyyy!!!!

I’m assuming he drinks blood? Cause vampire?

I don’t have much to say but know I’m giggling and kicking my feet and twirling my hair while reading about him- I LOVE HIM!!!!!

Tagged by @laurie-ipsum who posted, “I’m playing around with a story about making mixtapes…I found this forward that my friends and I did in the ‘00s. Felt like it could be repurposed here as an ask/challenge thing.”

This is fun! I was recently explaining to some teenagers about taping songs off the radio, how you'd be poised like a hawk over the "record" button and have to press it so fast when the right song came on. In keeping with the spirit of the ask, I tried to limit myself to pre-2005 songs, but I couldn’t resist a few newer ones. I actually put a number of these on mixtapes for friends or crushes way back when.

DISCLAIMER THAT THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I'M FUCKING UPLOADED THIS PIECE OF SHIT BECAUSE TUMBLR KEEPS FUCKING UP MY IMAGE LAYOUT WHENEVER I POST IT SO IF THIS SHIT DOES THAT AGAIN I'M NOT GONNA FUCKING FIX IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO EMBED ALL THE LINKS TO THE BASES I USED AND WRITE DOWN ALL THE TAGS ALL OVER AGAIN

Ngl it was relatively easy to think of pony names for these characters since i've had the idea to make this for a while so i've had a lot of time to think about it lol

For yuriko: i chose the name "flawless lace" because in her regular form, i specifically chose the name "yuriko" for her because it means "perfect" so i wanted to try and include that aspect into her pony name. Some considered names for her were "perfect storm" and "lily lace" since the "yuri" part of her name means "lily" (though i decided against it bc i remembered that's the name of an actual pony in MLP...) the markings on her legs are meant to sorta mirror the stockings she wears in her usual form

For sprite: i chose the name "baby carrot" simply because that was a actual name i considered for her normal form before i decided on "sprite" (which is kinda funny since a big part of sprite's character is that she likes apples.....a food that is basically as different from carrots as it can get) she is a goat-alicorn hybrid because she's normally a deltarune OC, specifically a fankid of kris and ralsei; with the latter being a prince from the dark who is also a goat monster

For carrie: a big part of her backstory is that she named herself, she's literally a carrot that decided to be human one day (...or pony, in this case) and is trying to fit into civilsation as best she can; so i tried to give them a pony name that sorta fits that, and so i named them "carrot mulch" because i could totally imagine her trying to introduce themself to someone and doing that one trope in movies where the main character doesn't want to share their real name and just looks around the room for things to call themself lol. I also decided to make her a blank-flank since she probably hasn't spent that long a time as a pony and therefore wouldn't have a cutie mark despite appearing fully grown

For makeighlyn i feel like my choices are pretty straight forward, the character is a girls' flash game mascot created by a christian fundamentalist cult who somehow escaped into the real world and now works as a demon slayer so i decided to give her a name and cutie mark that reflects that. The only thing that i feel is worth mentioning is that i find it interest how the amount of pink in her design makes the blue in her hair look a lot darker...either that or i might've accidentally hue-shifted it or something

Choese is another pretty straightforward one, he's a flirty cheese-themed mouseboy so i gave him a heart-shaped cheese cutie mark and named him "gouda squeaks" because he's a fucking rodent. (Sidenote: i love smoked gouda so goddamn much omg)

Lastly for crystalline i decided to make her a breezie since she's normally a fairy and y'know....breezies are just the MLP equivalent to fairies....i also decided to name her "fee-fee breezie" since breezies usually have really cutesy names in the show (some of them straight up have references to their species in their names), the "fee-fee" part of her name is short for "feelings" since crystalline is an emotion fairy

Y'know when i first created crystalline back when i was like, 10 i was going through a phase where i just VIOLENTLY hated things for no reason (specifically things from MLP such as the vampire fruit bats, flurry heart and the manta hawk from the IDW comics) to the point that i would make them out of polymer clay JUST so i can make my pony toys kill them (i was a weird kid, needless to say) one of these things being the breezies....so ngl i feel like the fact that i made crystalline a breezie is really fucking ironic lol

[themeridian]

i just finished the new video and oh my fucking god-

made me think about how lovely reacted to an eerily similar situation to their own past experiences except with more vampires that could hurt treasure....they'd probably be watching treasure like a hawk just to make sure they dont get taken like they did. at least i would've..

anyways lets talk about that punch!! damn lovely!! they absolutely popped off with that punch-it looked like it hurt!! and yes he did deserve it!

also why was he flirting with darlin' when they opened the door??? what was up with that????

also i love how this video was so well made!!

The Ultimate Emo/Scene Name List - WARNING: Long post, and make sure you read the trigger warnings!

Having trouble coming up with a name for yourself? Do you planning on using a part of your real name but can’t find a word to go with it? Well, worry no more!

Today, I’m here to provide as comprehensive a list as possible! I’ve scoured the internet, and some sources have some problematic suggestions. So, my goal is to break down possible names into easy to understand categories. Obviously, this will be a VERY long list, so keep that in mind. There is also a section purely made up of words used in the past that are to be used/reclaimed at one's own risk/discretion due to the words being used to oppress or belittle various minority groups. I will also be sharing my sources at the bottom for stuff I used from online, alongside any trigger warnings that may be needed. Without further ado, let’s go!

I am requesting goth country music recs!

You got it! Now, obviously goth is its own thing. Has its own sound. In my post, I meant more than there are gothic themes in country music, so you won’t find like, Sisters of Mercy wearing cowboy hats. Some of this is Southern Gothic, some of this is simply alt-country music with dark themes. You’ll also get bluegrass and Americana (which is sort of where rock and country meet). I tried to keep this mostly country since that’s what you asked, but I overlapped a lot and I tried to keep the sound diverse!

• Old Number Seven by The Devil Makes Three. The Devil Makes Three is a band based out of California but Bluegrass and Country make up a majority of their discography. They also have I Am The Man Thomas.

• Decoration Day by The Drive By Truckers. They’ve also got a great one called Where The Devil Don’t Stay. This is alt-country and rock. This particular one is sung by Jason Isbell, who’s my favorite country/americana artist. He’s from Muscle Shoals, Alabama and has a song that got pretty popular called If We Were Vampires.

• Hypothermic by Goodnight, Texas. I wasn’t sure if I should put this on because they verge on folk, but I’ll be real, there’s so much stylistic overlap that folk, Americana, and country are like triplet sisters by this point. A better example would be Jesse Got Trapped In The Coal Mine, and Tucumcari on account of their twang. They’re from North Carolina.

• E. Watson by the Decemberists. The Decemberists are from Portland, Oregon and are pretty well-known for their indie folk. That being said, E. Watson is a murder ballad and is sort of undeniably a country song.

• Barton Hollow by The Civil Wars. They’re a group out of Nashville, famously collaborated with Taylor Swift. Nice balance of male and female vocals.

• Appalachian Witch by Gallows Bound. Virginia band known for using punk influence to play bluegrass. It’s pretty sick.

• Highwomen by the Highwomen. They’re supergroup of country music singers, all of which have some kickass discography, but this one is darker. My personal favorite in the group is Amanda Shires, who has a great song called Hawk for the Dove. She and Jason Isbell also did a cover of the song I Follow Rivers and made it pretty country!

• Ain’t No Grave by anyone. I like the Johnny Cash version, but I also like Crooked Still. I think it works best with female vocals, I don’t know! It’s an OLD gospel-blues folk song.

• While we’re on the topic of old folk songs, House of the Rising Sun and all its covers. Gothic as bats. Wayfaring Stranger by Rhiannon Giddens is also fantastic.

• Graves by Whiskey Shivers. They call themselves a ‘trashgrass’ band and they’re based out of Texas. One of the best country bands out there in my opinion. Real dark material, sometimes, too.

• Magnolia Blues by Adia Victoria. Honestly, her entire discography fits that dark gothic country style. She’s one of the more talented artists I’ve heard in a while. You Was Born To Die is great too.

• Up The Devil’s Pay by the Old 97’s. This is an alt-country song by an alt-country band from Texas. They also have a song called Am I Too Late? which is a song about being in love with a corpse. I Don’t Wanna Die In This Town and I’m Good With God is a great contender for this list too.

• Bury Me In Georgia by Kane Brown. Some people miiight categorize this as bro country. I disagree, but it’s definitely more in line with what you’ll hear on the radio. Kane Brown is from Tennessee and he honestly kicks the hell out of any song he’s in.

• Alabama by Bishop Gunn. I think they’re from Natchez, Mississippi. More death, more problems, more religion, more rotting in the South.

I hope this is helpful! It’s mostly modern stuff, but if you want older, I have that too.

Direct Descendant by Tanya Huff

Official Summary:

Generations ago, the founders of the idyllic town of Lake Argen made a deal with a dark force. In exchange for their service, the town will stay prosperous and successful, and keep outsiders out. And for generations, it’s worked out great. Until a visitor goes missing, and his wealthy family sends a private investigator to find him, and everything abruptly goes sideways. Now, Cassidy Prewitt, town baker and part-time servant of the dark force (it’s a family business) has to contend with a rising army of darkness, a very frustrated town, and a very cute PI who she might just be falling for…and who might just be falling for her. And if they can survive their own home-grown apocalypse, they might even just find happiness together. Queer, cozy, and with a touch of eldritch horror mixed in just for fun, this is a charming love story about a small-town baker, a quick-witted PI, and, yes, an ancient evil.

My Thoughts:

Direct Descendant is told in dual POVs. Cassidy is the first point-of-view we get. She's a resident of Lake Argen and someone with close ties to the town's ancient dark force. Early one morning, she witnesses someone make a ritual sacrifice and knows that something big must be coming for her strange, reclusive town.

Our second POV is Melanie, who is visiting Lake Argen to investigate the recent disappearance of a wealthy woman's grandson. That missing grandson was the ritual sacrifice that Cassidy witnessed, by the way, so things are complicated.

Further complicating this dynamic is that Cassidy and Melanie are both completely smitten with each other at first sight.

The humor in this book is great; I genuinely laughed out loud at a few lines! There is plenty of sillyness and funny references, but there's also some smart and pointed progressive humor. Melanie, in particular, has very strong opinions about the current harmful push of anti-trans policies.

While the book is being pitched as "cozy horror," it is light on horror, in my opinion. If you go in hoping for scares, you might end up disappointed; if you want something funny, dark, fantastical, and romantic, you may really like it. I'd recommend this most to fans who've enjoyed other books that blend cozy sci-fi/fantasy with light horror and gore, like Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell.

I really enjoyed Direct Descendant. It is smartly hilarious, with quirky characters in a fast-paced plot. Plus, there's an incredibly sweet and emotional Sapphic romance between the two main characters. I love books that defy genre labels, and this one blends a lot of my favorites together in a way that really worked for me.

Pages: 336 (Kindle Edition)

Tropes/Tags:  Cozy Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Cozy Horror, Romance, Queer, Sapphic, Mystery, Paranormal

call me emily, alex or cas. em, nova & castiel are also fine. 24. they/fae/ze, usually interchangeable. they/them preferred currently.

queer, autistic, adhd, mentally ill, physically disabled/chronically ill and chronic pain. i used to be a care worker. i’m also white australian, tme & perisex.

i’m a writer, artist and gaymer, a sci-fi and fantasy geek, horror connoisseur, doll collector, sword enthusiast and big emo.

i’m also a nondenominational christian, who is highly critical of the church. specifically my beliefs are closest to anglican and catholic as that’s what i was raised as, but It’s Complicated™️. i am firmly anti evangelical/pentacostal/any other fundamentalist or cult sects, and anti missionary. i am pro all other religions. antitheists are not welcome on this blog. atheists and agnostics of course are.

i tag any posts relating to my faith as ‘christian tag’ and posts about christianity generally that don’t pertain to me as ‘christianity’ for blacklisting purposes. if you have trauma surrounding christianity and would prefer not to interact, there’s no hard feelings! i wish you good health and healing :)

i post a lot about my about my special interests and hyperfixations. full disclosure that dragon age rewired my brain chemistry in 2023, so there’s probably going to be a lot of that around for the foreseeable future.

my spins include: the tribe (1999), dragon age, x-men, vampires, supernatural, batfamily, resident evil, horror in general, fashion dolls and associated media (mainly bratz & monster high), sherlock holmes (mainly the granada series & frogwares games). current hyperfixations will always be in my bio and will be edited as needed.

tagging & general housekeeping

anon is currently turned off because some people don’t know how to behave. my dms are always open, and if you want to discuss something privately, you can always reach me there :)

i try to tag common triggers with ‘[trigger] cw’ or ‘[trigger] tw’ without the brackets. if i forget to tag something, pls let me know and i’ll fix it asap. MINORS PLEASE BLACK LIST ‘MINORS DNI’ AND ‘NSFW’. flashing media is tagged as ‘flashing gif’ and ‘flashing video’. i am not currently tagging any queer community related slurs and i do personally reclaim the word fag. please let me know if there’s anything you need tagged and i’ll do my best! the only thing i will not tag the word queer.

i generally tag spoilers. i usually tag for tv for up to a week after. i am currently tagging dragon age spoilers as: ‘dav spoilers’ for veilguard and current marketing. story relevant spoilers are tagged, as is anything else from behind the embargo. this does not include basic marketing. vows and vengeance is tagged ‘vows and vengeance spoilers’ and ‘dragon age spoilers’. these are tagged for 3-4 days after release, but i don’t usually make new posts after that anyway.

tags where i talk are: emily talks, alex talks, cas talks & emily liveblogs [insert media]. spn specific tags are emily liveblogs spn and emily rewatches spn. i also have a doll tag for fashion dolls, some are mine and some are other people’s.

tags where i rb things i relate to are: about me, me and same. i also have a writer tag, a fanfic writer tag, and an artist tag. i also have a separate tag for when i’m actually writing. i also make mods for the sims 4 sometimes (though i haven’t posted any yet). i sometimes post about my dog (though i mostly rb memes). my popular posts.

original characters navi etc.

i mostly post about my dragon age ocs at the moment. my general oc tag for other projects is ‘ocs’.

dragon age specific tags -

‘canon’ timeline: havella brosca (intro) / julian hawke (intro) / aelua lavellan (intro)

‘elfroot & blood lotus’ timeline: dallen tabris (intro) / valeria hawke (intro) / daniel felix trevelyan (intro)

proper navigational & introduction pages are under construction for all.

discourse, etc.

i’m an inclusionist of all good faith queer identities (yes, that kind too). whatever intracommunity queer discourse you’re thinking of i’m probably pro-inclusion. exclusionists are not welcome on this blog, folks who are looking for answers in good faith, or are former exclusionists are.

i’m an ‘anti’ in the sense that i believe in critical media consumption and am against child pornography. i also believe in holding bigotry, and racism in particular, to account in fandom spaces. i believe dark topics can be explored in fiction, but i also believe romantisization of incest, abuse, pedophilia, etc is Bad. ie. i don’t vibe with uncritical works or works that are straight up pro incest etc. antiantis/proshippers etc are not welcome here for this reason. and since apparently it needs to be said, i also do not believe in harassment or death threats/suicide bait etc. grow up.

dni

general dni criterias - if i catch you being bigoted in any way and you don’t attempt to better yourself after being held to account you’re getting blocked

terfs/twerfs/swerfs/radfems of any kind. this blog loves and supports trans women and sex workers. bioessentialism is bad.

exclusionists of any kind (yes, that kind too)

maps/nomaps/whatever pedophile fucks are calling themselves these day

proship/anti antis/comship/comfic/whatever y’all are calling yourselves

and on a personal note - if you were one of the people who sent death threats and suicide bait around the bbc sherlock fandom on twitter in 2019: fuck off. several people i care about nearly took their own lives because of you and i don’t want you anywhere near me. death threats etc are awful in general but this one was personal.

thanks for reading!

[missyourflight]

some stuff i read and watched january - may

i had to stop doing f1 stuff (because it was making me miserable lol), redirected most of that energy into reading romance novels (occasionally other things but mostly romance novels lbr) and watching films. anyway now interview with the vampire's back and i'm fully deranged about that etc. highlights below!

black sails (s1 & 2 rewatch): i do enjoy s1 for my sins (marcus aurelius foreshadowing!) but it's Wild how much s2 kicks up a gear the instant they start properly pairing off flint and silver. coming back for the rest of the rewatch once i've calmed down about the vampires so the true devastation lies ahead etc. also i rewatched twelfth night for toby stephens reasons, his orsino remains a formative piece of nonsense

mary & george: i'm not going to get into the whole nicholas galitzine filmography deepdive i was compelled to do for reasons not even known to myself but i raced through this. very sexy obviously but often in a way transactional or empowering or tender without necessarily being romantic. like it's not reinventing the wheel but it felt like a more expansive presentation of intimacy than you usually see in a costume drama. tony curran great in this!

shōgun: god what a show!! epic and tragic and funny and specific and just like an unbelievable showcase for craft and talent. fuji forever

a moment of romance: andy lau so gorgeous i could die, neon bloody hong kong action with a love story that's almost chaste until they finally kiss and it's fire actually. the rain! sparklers! explosions! a motorcycle helmet that says "safety!" on it!

tampopo: spent way too much money on a bunch of criterion collection blu-rays and i Loved this one, even the freaky egg stuff. an all-time food film and also baby ken watanabe is there with a little bandana!

all that heaven allows: i always feel like i came to sirk backwards because i saw far from heaven first; did magnificent obsession and written on the wind as well and the colours are always gorgeous but this was far and away my favourite. at one point a teapot gets smashed and i gasped like my heart was breaking

thief: god this absolutely rips! unfortunately your girl Is a michael mann bro (austin butler heat 2 let's gooo) and incredibly into things like blowtorches and shots of windows exploding outwards like a shower of diamonds

challengers: feral about it obviously, itemised list of derangements here

la chimera: it's josh o'connor season and i loved this even more than challengers, there are moments in this that felt like miracles

emma. (2020): rewatched this with the blu-ray commentary which only made me love it more, also i've warmed on callum turner since i saw his trip to the criterion closet, what a babe

queen of the damned: watched this in a vampire fever and in the spirit of "how bad can it be?" and the answer was: worse even than that

furiosa: a mad max saga: i really felt the saga of it all, like the almost mythic telling of it, and hemsworth's great and the action's great, but most importantly OH GOD TOM BURKE IS SO HOT AS PRAETORIAN JACK. OH GOD HE'S SO HOT AND STOIC AND SOLID and i was not prepared for it to be a Romance like that oh god

land of milk and honey by c pam zhang: near-future dystopian unbelievably sexy food book, i still think about some of those images. a duck breast split open like a geode!! fuck!!

the spymasters series by joanna bourne: i haven't loved a romance series like this in a While, it's napoleonic era spies! everyone's in love and constantly betraying and shooting each other! it's Not lymond but it was twisty and detailed enough to scratch the lymond itch for me. you can basically read them in any order because they weren't written chronologically, but take my advice and start with the black hawk, because then you can play "what's hawker up to?" in all the other books and hurt your feelings, then go back to the spymaster's lady and do the rest in publication order. i love my terrible spy family!!

practice by rosalind brown: i'm so obsessed with this, it's about a student trying to write an essay but really it's about shakespeare and yoga and the elaborate gay fictions she's constantly making up in her head

henry henry by allen bratton: henry iv by way of brideshead and patrick melrose, i deeply loved this and i deeply loved this hal. one for the hal/hotspur yuletide enjoyers etc

you should be so lucky by cat sebastian: i also read and loved her cabot series but this one really got to me. as a brit i can never truly be a baseball understander but this crossed the bull durham/everybody wants some!! line of making me yearn about it a bit

kaliane bradley, the ministry of time: loved this so wildly that i committed multiple counts of reverse wage theft to dazedly copy the best parts into my notes app and yowl about it with my friends who'd had arcs. sexy time travel roommate situation, my beloved

add me on goodreads or letterboxd if you're into that sort of thing etc
