personal venting. stream of consciousness bad feelings
god i feel so fucking paralyzed rn. only a certain kind of slow-burn overwhelmed can haunt me like this and this is exactly it. maybe i'm a bit paranoid but i seem very prone to getting murphy's law'd and this feels like another instance of it....the planets were aligning to turbo-fuck me in these last few weeks or something
my year at this house is up and while i doubt i'm going to get kicked out suddenly or anything i have no idea where i'm going to go after this. thanks to the teeth stuff i'm no richer than i was before, the only option i see (if my pending job thing doesn't go through) is to go back to my parents' place and i really, really don't want to. i'm terrified of finding roommates because in my eyes it is not stable. i have no financial safety net so if shit falls through i'm SOL
on the topic of money, i'm not very well off again. as always. this is still the cause of the bulk of my stress. i lose sleep over financial instability.
additionally i caught something relatively recently so i'm also sick. i always get upset when i'm sick because it's annoying, rather like a runny nose that won't stop, so it's not helping my irritability
(i'm still extra salty too, so i've still not logged back into discord. i realize cutting myself off from socialization at a time like this is not a good idea but i don't want to put more fuel on the fire either)
one part of my taxes were filed with an error and now i have to jump through hoops to get the sizeable return that i'm owed which would really, really help my financial situation. i'm really annoyed because i paid someone else to file them and this should have been easy money for me. it's practically an extra paycheck that would bring me closer to pre-teeth issues balance, now i'm panicking a little that i either won't get it or i'm going to get hit with a penalty or something. fuck the us tax system btw
speaking of which, i have also not been particularly vigilant at my job and now that's biting me in the ass. i haven't been vigilant bc something always seems to get in the way, from subpar hardware to insufficient resources to just me feeling unable to reach out for things. when i get into any kind of trouble at work i panic like crazy and it's exacerbated by the fact that my fucking team doesn't feel like they're doing their own jobs. there's disorganization everywhere and i feel like i'm doing everything and i don't even know where to start - and not only do i not know where to start, my superiors don't know either. i provide my own resources for this kind of stuff because i'm supposed to be the expert and my inexperience in leadership (let alone remote leadership) and unwillingness to work beyond my 8 hours is making this extremely difficult. i realize at least two of these ingredients are my own fault and only i can fix them but christ on a stick i wish i didn't overreact so bad. i'm not going to get fired over this or anything but my stupid anxious body disagrees
i owe artwork to people for my teeth stuff. that's still in progress but i can't go any faster than i am and in these bad times i want so bad to do personal stuff, but feel like i can't before all the owed work is out. good, responsible practice but i'm also dying for an outlet between gatekeeping myself from discord and not scratching the art itch. maybe i should write something since rp was my go-to outlet for years but...argh
i can always tell when i'm having a bad time bc i'm torn between social isolation and indulgence and also thinking about the dishes and showering and brushing and and and just seems so arduous in itself. the only upside is that i seem to be going to bed on time but that's not because i want the sleep, more that i get scared of the night in this condition. it sounds so childish but i notice when my self-confidence wanes the darkness--even in my fully-lit hovel--makes me feel so vulnerable. i don't know man, it's that feeling i associate with living in the country, the impression that you are truly alone and there is nothing between you and god. or something like that. it's weird to feel naked and trapped simultaneously but that seems to be the predicament of the week.
all that said i'm gonna force myself to get in the shower now. there's just a lot of what my brain considers 'serious stuff' happening all at once and i'm easily overwhelmed. maybe i'll feel at least a little better with a clean face

Tequila Sunrise
Pairings: Chris Evans x Fem Reader
Style: One-Shot
Request?: No, but 100% inspired by that stupid Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello song I will never get out of my head
Warnings: Language. Smut. Unprotected sex (woops, wrap it before you tap it, kids). NSFW. Slight dom!Chris.
Word count: 4.5KĀ 
Summary: Youā€™ve known Chris since you were twelve. Heā€™s always been a constant for you, never a romantic interest. But will the summer heatwave, humidity and pool time get to your head and change the way you feel about each other? Includes Anthony Mackie!
A/N: Holy shit, you guys. Iā€™ve been working on this one all week. I wonā€™t lie, Iā€™m attached to this one and really hope you guys like it. :3 Iā€™m considering doing a series tied to this -- more of what happens with Reader/Chris & potentially with Ava (bc I love her personality and modeled her off Blake Lively, if you couldnā€™t tell). If you liked this/would be interested in reading more in this world please comment and let me know!! Your support helps me write :))
This story truly feels like my baby so please do leave it some love/review if you liked it. Sorry if the smut sucked I hate writing it but felt like it was essential to the story jfdlakflds;akf;dsaf. Donā€™t hate me. ALSO, huge thank you to my #1 @deartomhardy. She helped me through this in so many ways. Hyped me up when parts of this fic made me sweaty, yelled at me when I whined about the smut. Supported me literally through it all. I love u my baby angel. <3 (Gif not mine!)
Tumblr media
You say weā€™re just friends,
But friends donā€™t know the way you taste.
ā€˜Cause you know itā€™s been a long time coming,
Donā€™t you let me fall.
It was hotter than all hell, and you were starting to get sick of the dry heat that was coursing itā€™s way through the city the past few days. Your hometown used to be so enjoyable; better weather, less traffic, less people, less lines, less noise. Now, everything was popular - and not in a cute way. The donut shop down the street you had been going to since you were five was now considered a collectible. You saw tourists at the airport with the stupid blue boxes everywhere. The quaint coffee shop that was next to a questionable Chinese restaurant had now multiplied where you could find one on almost every street corner. Even down to the people - one in particular - who used to just be a regular Joe Schmoe was now a celebrity in his (also your) hometown. Wild.
ā€œFind any hotties out there?ā€ You turned your head to the edge of the pool to peer through your circular sunglasses at the voice. Mackie was leaned against the cool tiles surrounding the edge of the pool, the bottom of his body enveloped in water. He turned to look at Chris who had just entered the gated pool area.
ā€œI just went to get some beers, Mack. Chill.ā€ Chris replied, and you couldnā€™t help the small smile that formed on your lips at his response.
Local-theatre-geek-turned-celebrity did have its perks, though. For one, you were able to enjoy a private pool on a 97 degree day, well, privately. Chrisā€™s summer home was nothing short of a resort; food at any and all hours of the day, a pool, hot tub, and theater room. The best part about the pool was that there were no kids screaming and running around, wreaking havoc. You had a barbecue all to yourself, you could blast music and no one would complain. Plus, you found yourself suddenly surrounded by far better and more interesting company.
You and Chris had always been close. That was clear to everyone around you. You went to his premieres, supported him on Broadway, stayed up with him late into the night over the phone when his anxiety got the best of him, and he was a full Country away from you. Assured him that he would have the family heā€™s always wanted one day. And he supported you through all your endeavors. Helped you pay your way through grad school (I have so much money, Y/N, I literally donā€™t know what to do with it. Let me do something good for you, just this once heā€™d said to you late that night on the floor of your college dorm). Listened to you when you ranted about your parents and how the planet alignment was throwing off your mood. Was a shoulder to cry on when you went through breakups. There were no secrets between you, and there was no drama.
You knew this was because the only rule you had with Chris was the one that had stood the test of time: no sex. Period. No matter how drunk you got in the college dorms or at Marvel premieres. Even if you didnā€™t have someone to kiss at midnight on New Yearā€™s Eve. Even if you were vulnerable, heart aching for some affection and non-romantic sex after your ex cheated on you. Even if you were just plain horny. No. Sex. Your 20+ year friendship had lasted this long because one person in the relationship had always stood that ground no matter the circumstances. And for that, you were so thankful. Thankful for the lack of complications and strings; thankful you had someone in your life you could be you around. It was a rarity these days.
ā€œBeer?ā€ Said friend asked you, sunglasses adorned his tanning face. You looked up from Mackie and nodded, stretching out a hand to reach for the refreshing drink Chris was offering your way.
ā€œPlease,ā€ You respond, waiting for Chris to pad his way over to you across the massive outdoor patio.
Had Chris not had his sunglasses on, you would have noticed the way he was eyeing your outstretched body, clad only in a thin, navy blue bikini on the poolside chair. Your bottoms hugged your hips as if made just for you; your tousled hair touching just beneath your shoulders; stray strands innocently snuggled beneath your breasts.
He took a breath, willing himself to look away as he handed you the cool drink. You noticed the way his obliques twitched with his arm movement, and how massive his biceps were after coming off of Endgame. You had, of course, noticed your best friendā€™s looks before - you werenā€™t blind - but the heat was making you see him in a different light. You took a swig of your beer, hoping the distraction would take you away from the way a bead of sweat was falling just along his torso towards the top of his swim trunks...
ā€œIā€™d love one, Chris, thanks for asking.ā€ Your best friend, Ava, spoke out next to you.
ā€œDid you have to bring her?ā€ Chris teased, grabbing another beer and gently tossing it towards Ava, who lay sprawled out on a lounge chair next to you in a stunning red one piece that hugged her cleavage just right.
Ava was the quintessential best friend whose kindness and selflessness made up for the fact that any woman next to her would otherwise feel inadequate.
She had long, slender legs, carved after years of soccer, tennis, biking, and basically any sport she could get her hands on. The constant need for an adrenaline rush made her tanned skin stay year-round, which was accompanied by a moderate four pack, large natural breasts, and wavy, thick blonde hair that always fell just right. Add her bright emerald eyes and a contagious laugh that lit up any room, and she was a heartbreaker to any man that was lucky enough to be in the same room as her.
But Ava didnā€™t care about that stuff, and thatā€™s what made her so special. She was selfless. She put everyone elseā€™s needs above her own, and had kindness oozing out of her, no matter the circumstances. She went to Mexico on a UNICEF trip on a whim after reading an article about children in need on a random Tuesday morning. She put her younger brother through medical school when both of her parents passed away unexpectedly (still a mystery to everyone else how she ever managed it). She was a perfect blend of compassion and enthusiasm that attracted men who wanted to get in bed with her and women who wanted to be associated with her. And it was effortless; as if it came to her like breathing.
ā€œTheyā€™re kind of a package deal, those two.ā€ Mackie piped up from the pool, grinning as he unashamedly drank Ava in. He had been trying to get with her all summer, but Ava stood her ground. She wasnā€™t one for summer flings.
But Chris knew this already; in fact it was Ava and Chrisā€™s friendship that had gotten you to know Chris to begin with. Your mom had forced you into 6th grade soccer (hoping you would show some sort of athletic talent in your childhood) where you had met Ava on the very first day. Chris had been on the boys team at your middle school, and Ava being, well, Ava, had already made friends with the entire team within days. Your practices were on separate fields, separated only by a goal post but always ended at the same time. You would frequently all walk home together after practice, stopping for a smoothie, donuts, or ice cream along the way depending on the weather and talking about everything under the sun. Those walks were the reason you stuck with soccer for all those years (sorry, Mom).
ā€œI already know what youā€™re going to say,ā€ Ava started, lowering her voice and leaning towards you so the boys couldnā€™t hear. ā€œBut if I didnā€™t know any better, Iā€™d say a certain someone was checking you out today.ā€
You rolled your eyes, but felt your heart skip a beat at the insinuation. ā€œDonā€™t go starting shit, Ave. Heā€™s seen me in a bikini a million times.ā€
ā€œYeah, and youā€™ve seen him shirtless a million times, too, and yet here you are gawking at him like heā€™s some Sports Illustrated model.ā€
ā€œAm not!ā€ You laughed, taking a drink of your beer. You noticed the way Chrisā€™s eyebrows raised at the sound of you from across the patio; he was always in tune with you even from a thousand miles away.
ā€œProve it.ā€ Ava deadpanned, swinging her legs over her chair to sit up and face you.
ā€œWhat?ā€ You asked, exhausted by your best friendā€™s antics.
ā€œProve it.ā€ She repeated, setting her beer down on the cement. ā€œIf itā€™s no big deal, and you feel the same way about him you always have and nothingā€™s changed-ā€ She used air quotations, referring to the thousands of conversations youā€™d had about Chris since you were both back visiting your hometown and hanging out with Ava, ā€œ-then swimming and playing around in the pool should be no big deal. Just another swim with your best buds.ā€
She had a wicked grin on her face, and you knew you were in trouble. When Ava set her mind to something, she always saw it through. No matter what.
ā€œPlease donā€™t do this.ā€ You pouted, though your best friend was already standing, waiting to make her move. The pitied look on your face didnā€™t fool her, and you found she was ignoring you as she dramatically fanned herself, heading towards the pool.
ā€œItā€™s getting a bit toasty. I think Iā€™ll take a dip to cool off.ā€ She announced, ā€œY/N, you coming?ā€
ā€œI think Iā€™m good, thanks.ā€ You glared at her, unamused. She shot you a wink in response.
ā€œMan, I was really hoping we could chicken fight. Evans!ā€ Chris jumped at the sudden inclusion from the loud blonde. ā€œYou in?ā€
He looked up from the edge of the pool where he had been leaning against one of the railings. Him and Mackie had been discussing some latest sports announcement at length, since you had been too bored earlier to listen out at lunch.
ā€œMhm?ā€ Chris asked, clearly not paying attention to Avaā€™s antics and shooting a look over to the both of you. You noticed the beer in his hand was nearly empty.
ā€œChicken fight!ā€ Ava said enthusiastically, ā€œMe ā€˜n Mack vs you two losers.ā€
ā€œAlright!ā€ Mackie shouted happily, ā€œNow things are getting interesting. Finally.ā€
Chris sighed, not near excited for the fight as the other two. ā€œYou in, partner?ā€
ā€œI guess.ā€ You groaned, knowing you had no way out of both Anthony and Avaā€™s persistence. You pulled yourself up off the chair and stood, stretching and rolling your neck, which had been stiff from the CrossFit class Ava had forced you to earlier in the week. Your muscles still ached from the fifty minute torture session you cursed your best friend all the way through, and though youā€™d never admit it - a dip in the pool sounded so refreshing after nearly 45 minutes in the heat.
Chrisā€™s eyes never left you, or the way your body was glistening in the sunlight. The summer heat was leaving your cheeks just flushed, and he noticed how the thin swim material hugged your plump ass seductively. You were oblivious. Oblivious to the beauty and perfection Chris saw in you, how your right dimple surfaced when you laughed, and your eyelashes fluttered when you slept deeply. He felt a small pang of jealousy in his gut at the thought of all the guys who had seen you that way, and wondered if they noticed all those things about you that he did.
Throughout high school and through adulthood, people had always assumed Chris was dating Ava. Whether it was friends, family, or tabloids - people always gushed over what aĀ ā€œbeautiful coupleā€ he and Ava made. Maybe it was because of the stark blond hair, or maybe that she was almost taller than Chris, and they appeared to beĀ ā€œperfectly matchedā€. To Chris, she was just Ava. A close, and dear friend, but no one he would ever be romantically interested in.Ā 
She wasnā€™t you.
---Ā 
Much to your annoyance (and to Avaā€™s pleasure), chicken fighting with Chris had been just as awkward as you had expected. You were acutely aware of every touch - the way his strong hands gripped your thighs when you were straddled on top of his shoulders, desperately trying to shove your best friend off Anthonyā€™s. She was stronger than you; that much was obvious. But having Chris at the base gave you an edge, and you ended up winning more than the other pair thanks to his cheating swipes at Mackie from under the water.
While the game was innocent enough, you heart drummed loudly in your chest every time his skin made contact with yours. Several times as you fell, shoved off by Avaā€™s very aggressive pushes, youā€™d feel Chrisā€™s strong arms envelope you, laughing and crashing into the water with you. HisĀ arm stayed wrapped around your torso, holding you easily against his hip as you pushed up for air. Water droplets danced along your shoulders as you laughed, easily wrapping your legs around Chris as an excuse for support.
Finally, after several hours of Marco/Polo, ring tossing, and shark and minnows, Anthony and Ava had tired themselves out and retired to their respective homes. You and Chris had moved to the hot tub, tucked deep into the corner of the house, where you could still see the stars. The heatwave had finally burnt off, and you felt a cool breeze rolling through the property, sending a slight shiver down your spine. You leaned your head back onto the cool, diamond tiles that lined the tub, your legs peacefully resting on Chrisā€™s lap across from you as the jets made water bubbles all around you. You sighed, blissfully happy - nothing was better than a long, warm day at the pool with your best friends.
ā€œWhatā€™s goinā€™ on in that head of yours?ā€ Chris asked softly. His fingers danced across your legs like a whisper, his warm blues matching the color of the water just beneath his sturdy chest.Ā 
ā€œIā€™ve just missed this,ā€ You reply, raising your eyes to meet his.Ā ā€œLife should always be this simple.ā€
ā€œIt can be.ā€ Chris retaliated, thumb now making small circles just above your ankle. You smiled softly.
ā€œSometimes. But other times I remember that thereā€™s reality, and we have to work and pay bills and like... be an adult.ā€ You sighed again,Ā ā€œItā€™s just not the same as...ā€ You trailed off, not having the balls to finish your sentence. You awkwardly broke eye contact with him, looking down at your hands in the water.
ā€œNot the same as what?ā€ He pressed, hand now gripping your ankle gently. He tugged just enough to force you to make eye contact with him again.Ā 
ā€œReal life just isnā€™t the same as being here with you,ā€ You finished out awkwardly. This was uncharted territory - youā€™d never talked about this kind of stuff with Chris. You were always just friends, and that was the extent of it. Nothing more; and there was never really an opportunity to be more than that because both of you had never let it.Ā 
But now... now he was here. And he was so... perfect. And caring. And kind. And he listened to your ideas, beyond just wanting to get into your pants. And he knew you so intimately, it was hard to think about being with anyone else. It made you wonder if all of your past relationships had failed for a reason, maybe there was someone else you were supposed to be with, and he had been right in front of you this entire time?
Chris tugged on your leg, a little stronger this time, willing you towards him as the water bounced between you guys softly. He was closing the gap between the both of you, but the pace in which he was taking was painfully slow. You felt every second, as if it had been slowed down five times, as you inched towards him slowly.
ā€œChris, I...ā€ You whispered, as his hands enveloped you, gripping your waist and maneuvering you so that you straddled his lap.
ā€œWhat?ā€ He asked breathlessly, drunk on your smell, and the way your ass was settling on his groin. His eyes still havenā€™t left yours, heā€™s testing you - daring you to be the one to pull away first.Ā 
ā€œI donā€™t trust myself right now.ā€ You reply, eyes boring into his. Your face was millimeters away from his, and you so desperately wanted to reach out and taste him; know what it would feel like to kiss those soft, pink lips.Ā 
ā€œJust one kiss.ā€ He breathed. His tone was more of a request than it was statement, he was begging you to give in just this once. You lifted your hands and rested them on the sides of his face, feeling his slight stubble against the palms of your hands.In the decades of knowing him, you had never been this close. You breathed in deeply, taking in his scent. You felt as though you were home. And although it was likely only seconds that passed by, it felt like it had been a million minutes all smashed into one, and you finally leaned in, closing the fraction of space between your lips.
And suddenly, you were falling. Falling so deep into Chris and your feelings it was indescribable. He tasted like a perfect blend of vanilla, honey and strawberries; likely from the massive bowl he had eaten just hours before.Ā 
His arms wrapped around you, pulling you as close into him as he could. This was more than just one kiss, and both of you knew it. There was no going back now.
After a few breathy moments, Chris pulled back for air, immediately relocating his lips onto the crook of your neck, kissing every inch of your skin from your jawline down to your shoulder. Your skin felt as though it was on fire, and it had nothing to do with the temperature of the water. You leaned into him, a soft moan escaping your lips as you let your eyes flutter closed. His hands roamed up your spine, tugging at the spandex material that was barricading him from access to your breasts.
ā€œNot here,ā€ You murmured, letting your head fall against his shoulder. As warm and sexy as the hot tub was, you werenā€™t interested in your first time with Chris being messy and wet in his outdoor hot tub. Plus, the cool breeze was starting to give you goosebumps.
He pulled away from the hickey he was working on just above your right breast. ā€œHold onto my neck.ā€ He said against your skin. Wrapping your legs around his waist he easily stood, carefully maneuvering the both of you out of the hot tub and towards one of the guest bedrooms just a few feet from the hot tub. All the while his lips continued his assault on any part of you that he could, stumbling in the dark towards the massive queen bed that was enveloped in snow white sheets.
A small giggle escaped from your lips as he tripped slightly, dropping you backwards and onto the soft mattress.
ā€œThink thatā€™s funny?ā€ He asked, grinning as he took in the sight of you; eyes sparkling and hair wet and wild, soaking the cotton sheets beneath you. Nothing separated him from you other than your skimpy bikini, which he was determined to pull off within minutes of having you on the bed.
ā€œI mean, it was a little dramatic,ā€ You teased, reaching out to grab his left arm, and interlacing your fingers easily as he leaned over, hovering over top of you. No part of you were touching just yet, other than his hand in yours. ā€œI do have working legs, ya know.ā€
ā€œWell, yes, but whereā€™s the fun in that?ā€ He teased, allowing himself to settle on top of you easily. He was grinning from ear to ear, and you werenā€™t sure if it was your ego or the heat of the moment - but you could have sown youā€™d never seen him this happy.
ā€œAre we really gonna do this?ā€ You asked softly, reaching your hand to stroke the side of his face, your eyes searching his.
ā€œDo you want to?ā€ He asked, ever the gentleman. Your heart was ringing in your ears, aware of the hard erection Chris was sporting through his swim trunks. It pressed against your right thigh gently. You squirmed beneath him.
ā€œIā€™ve never wanted anything more in my life.ā€ You murmured, and that was the final confirmation Chris needed to close the gap between you two once more.
And this time was different from the hot tub. In the water you were slow, deliberate, wanting every nerve in your body to feel him against you. This was different; he was hungry for you. His hands made quick work of your bikini top, tossing it onto the floor as your lips parted to make room for his tongue.
His right hand massaged your left breast, pinching and flicking your nipple every so often. The sensation made you moan, and you arched your back in response. You could feel your pussy throbbing for him, begging him to please you, touch you.
Needing air, you pulled away from him, placing kisses along his chin and down his jawline.
ā€œChris,ā€ You moaned into his ear, slightly tugging on his long, wet hair as his thumb padded your tout nipple.
ā€œMhm,ā€ You were quickly realizing that Chris was going to make you beg him for this one. After years and years of waiting, he wanted to hear exactly what you wanted him to do to you. He wasnā€™t going to give you an easy out. Not tonight anyway.
ā€œPlease,ā€ You begged, as his right hand moved slowly, torturously from your breast and across your tummy, running a finger along your slit over top your bottoms.
ā€œWhat do you want?ā€ He asked, nose nuzzling your neck before biting you gently.
You groaned, annoyed at the teasing. ā€œWeā€™ve had twenty years of foreplay, Evans. You know what I want.ā€
He chuckled against your skin, palming your pussy in response.
ā€œDonā€™t be a smartass.ā€ He bit your earlobe gently, running his tongue along your neck. ā€œAll you have to do is ask.ā€
You werenā€™t used to such a dominant side of Chris, but the rate in which it was turning you on was unbelievable. He was confident and sexy in the bedroom - a side of him you werenā€™t used to seeing. It was a relief to feel like you were being taken care of, and that your needs were coming before his. Even if he was making you beg.
Deciding that being blunt was the only way to get what you want you pushed him away from your neck gently, meeting his warm blues. There was a quick beat.
ā€œI want you to fuck me, Chris.ā€ It was so vulgar you felt your cheeks go warm. But if Chris was turned on before, it was nothing like the look of desperation and hunger he had in his eyes now.
He shovedĀ  his swim trunks off, freeing his cock that was standing at attention. You craned your neck to get a look, mouth practically watering at the sight. Chris yanked off your bottoms next and paused for a minute, drinking you in.
ā€œYouā€™re so fucking beautiful.ā€ He breathed, his hands running down your sides. His hand stopped just above your folds, locating your wild eyes and watching your face as he slipped in one, two, then three fingers, testing your readiness.
You hissed, writhing at the feeling and pulled at the sheets in a death grip. After a few pumps he pulled out of you, but not after sliding his index finger once across your clit. The feeling made you shutter, and your eyes rolled to the back of your head.
He aligned himself, pausing to soak you in. After all these years of wondering, wishing, hoping; you were all his. He didnā€™t have to worry about anybody or anything else. You were here, and this was perfect.
Your eyes fluttered open, wondering what the hesitation was. You knew immediately he was silently asking for permission one more time. Once you crossed this line, there was no going back. Your hand found his and you intertwined your fingers once more.
ā€œI want this.ā€ You whispered reassuringly.
That was the confirmation Chris needed to settle himself above you, and slide into your pussy slowly. Inch by inch you felt yourself filled up by his impressive length, and you squeezed his hand, moaning loudly.
ā€œJesus,ā€ He moaned, allowing your body to adjust before beginning to fuck you slowly. ā€œSo wet.ā€
His mouth latched onto one your breasts, licking and nipping at your sensitive nipple as he began slamming into you with more speed. His thumb was still making fast work of your clit, and the triple combination was making it hard for you to not cum quickly.
ā€œChris,ā€ You breathed, reveling in the way his cock felt inside of you. You bucked your hips hoping to allow him to penetrate you deeper.
ā€œSo absolutely perfect.ā€ Chris kept murmuring against your skin, over and over as he kissed, licked, and squeezed every inch of you he could. He picked up the pace, feeling your walls tightening around his cock. You were dangerously close to release.
You tried to form words but couldnā€™t think coherently. Everything was a blur, and every nerve was on edge as you felt yourself inching quickly toward orgasm. One more thrust from Chris and you let go, crying out as your walls clenched down on his cock without mercy.
Squeezing your breast, he found your mouth and kissed you as if his life depended on it. After a few more thrusts, he, too, let out a loud groan as you felt him finish inside you.
Still seeing stars you blinked a few times, your brain trying to catch up to the scene unfolding in front of you. You had just had sex with Chris Evans. Best friend of over 20 years. Man you shared every intimate secret with. Heā€™s seen you naked. Touched you everywhere. Came inside you. Holy shit.
Chris was still lost in his orgasm, panting slightly. He pulled out of you, rolling over to his side.
ā€œWow,ā€ He breathed. He wrapped his arm around your shoulders, pulling you into his side. ā€œThat wasā€¦ā€
ā€œAmazing?ā€ You offered, snuggling into his chest and letting a hand dance along his skin. Your heart still hadnā€™t recovered from the previous cardio session, and you could feel Chrisā€™s still racing also.
ā€œI was gonna say mind blowing.ā€ His chest rippled in your hand from a laugh. ā€œBut amazing works too.ā€

Venus trine MC, my MC lies in Saturn and Saturn is in 9th house Aquarius.
Saturn Return, and my Soul Journey into 12th house Sun conjunct Mercury (in Aries) bound by the 12th house Shadow Secrets. Jupiter is Leo and Mars is softened by my conjunct cancer moon, both in my 3rd house. The kicker is Chiron simultaneously sitting over in my wounded goddess divine feminine Luna moon compelling me to build a home, a base and a clan of like minded souls. cancer and Chiron sit together and Chiron is akin to the wounded healer. I have a complex but alchemical natal make up and its been 6 years of accepting the square and oppositions in difficult places to come to terms to work with my natal astrology in a way I can become creatively involved in.
23/3/20 initiated the formal induction of my Saturn return as saturn transited to Aquarius for the first time since 92/93.
Itā€™s a taste of the full saturnine swing coming up after the December 21st astrology grand conjunction. Saturn will be in Aquarius up to July. before moving briefly back before that grand Conjunction with Pluto/Jupiter later in 21/12/2020. (activity period from 14 April 2020 until mid-July 2020) Venus trine MC
Yeah on a tangent but one day I will be thankful this was forged. I am will using my moonchild manifesto to track the astrology and transits for my own wounded healer journey. I donā€™t have the consistency of a computer to hoard things as I did before the big brother fascism came full formed this year and cannot freely trust anything can be stored. I will be putting things online purely to keep a record of what may soon be lost, unable to be accessed.
Plus Iā€™m burning my journals after I take the photos of them and upload them for a ritualistic purpose.
Itā€™s part of this creative alchemy and trauma soul retrival quest Iā€™ve found myself on. I note this as my Saturn is returning home for my FIRST Saturn return. I have been formally initiated for the infamous, enigmatic Saturn return that marks the passage from ā€œadolescence into adulthoodā€. (Funnily last time I heard a university lecture on neuroscience, the latest research noted recent findings that the brain of a fully, functional prefrontal cortex in adult brains donā€™t become fully formed until age 28-30. This first sparked excitement and also uncertainty about the privilege cast to the ā€œteenage mythā€. As kids brains are still developing when things like getting a driving cars, choosing a life career, alcohol privilege and making other major life changes at those critical developmental stages are still as risky when a 12-16 year old does it. So now psychology and neuroscience knows that the adult higher order thinking that marks the turn of a mature and civil adult come in the late 20s. Not the teens. So until after 25 a brain cannot be fully assessing its choices due to underdeveloped prefrontal higher order thought processes This was fascinating in the social science side of things where we look into social constructs of society and how teenager was a made up archetype for a post war period. I remember being in my early 20s at the time and my life was no longer a race as it had been made to be prior.the schools of the latest brain neuroscience confirm my impulsive nature could change before age 30. I was hopeful. Maybe I wasnā€™t a gifted genius who was highly sensitive and afflicted with the contrasting ā€œADHD or Attention Deficit Primaily Inattentiveā€ which could only be ā€œtreatedā€ (as far as I had experienced), via heavy duty schedule 8 drugs. The kind of medication that calmed me down but other people wound beg me to have. Meaning in the past people in my life around me were constantly trying to turn into their party high by taking advantage of my disdain for psychostimulants. But my love and need for money back in that time. Fuck fake friends I say. Taking advantage or dysregulated prefrontal cortex with or without all my labels was still, after all, a risky business, when it comes to juggling psychopharmacology and a myriad of labels that resulted in other medicines given to me that may or may not be accurate. No brain scan or confirmation has been given that my brain is anything aside from ADHD. So my academic quest in childhood was confounded due to this.I learnt a lot about my childhood and growing up with a long list of multiple mental illness diagnosis, and the medical pharmacology given to me for those things; was beyond measurable.
But my neurochemistry was tweaked ineffably by both psychiatric pills pushed on me from age 9 and for things I may not even need. The end result of what my social science teacher termed ā€œsocial constructs akin to mental illness medical model DSM labelsā€. My self pursuit of understanding my own brain was a hard thing to understand in the sense that prior to hearing about this from the side of academic and professional training, I had spend 12 years in expensive and possibly more damaging than beneficial treatment for ā€œmental illnessesā€. My life was a focal point for the goal I set to help women with the ā€œborderline stigmaā€ after I had fixed my own borderline.
Clinical psychologist was my end game until I found the trauma truth sweeping me into a existential soul contusion merged with trauma after trauma therapy went into flooding memory. Academic research and the psychology and counseling journals I spent my spare time fine combing. For answers. For my why and how. By the time I found any sense of this it became a painful limbo of dancing with my demons, coping destructively and limbo between the underworld and the reality I found my body and mind entwined in.
Now itā€™s even more synonymous to my own Saturn return journey and how the Saturn return is the mark of adulthood. This can be a speculative musing I make now on celestial astrology and how it aligns to our inner psychological makeup. (The Jupiter return is age 12, puberty ; and the other inner planets all mark significant development milestones in growing up. Iā€™ll go into that more in later blogs).
Astrology is a map of the soul, psychology makeup, can be so deep too. How does it measure up to statistics? Sun sign horoscope is nothing versus the natal chart and how it corresponds to planetary magick and Kabbalah. I have been seperate in my magick and academic work but it was always my will to merge these at one stage I could research it. But now the sands of time are shifting, and Aquarius Saturn is calling for novel innovation I never could convey due to academic being seperate as spiritual, magickal practice is something I was careful to keep silence on when working with clients, peers and mentors, forget telling my psychologists or doctors who wound dismiss any test as ā€œbipolar maniaā€. I remember once I read ā€œthe difference between the mystic and the mad man is the mystic knows who NOT TO TELL.
Now itā€™s my time to informally but officially start logging my journey into my own healing, soul mapping, I call it cognitive alchemy, gnostic psychology, soul psychology, metagnosis.. Iā€™ve had many a name for the potential inspiration from my true will calling. But I can now forget about the archaic bonds from the academic world I was schooled to excel in by confirming. I am also a high iq gifted kid and having been labelled gifted but ā€œadhdā€ simultaneously while having traumatic events left right and center is a mix of confusion for me. Teachers classed adhd as a learning disability, my in attention confused with inability to listen to simple tasks. This meant my mind never adapted to that school conditioning but my education was still installed due to the private school system somehow making my alters succeed without effort. Most of my spare time as a kid that wasnā€™t dissociative was reading books. By me processing my own literature in my spare time, I knew so much random stuff but hid it in order to seem dumb bc that was accepted. But in private in encyclopaedias and non fictional library quests Iā€™d devour books. for my 10 maximum haul of borrowing books. This was a routine my mum and I went to do each week but my reading speed was beyond anything known, as I read and synthesised up to 10 books mostly in one day, from age 6 onwards.
I also stole books and hid my reading habits at school due to a deep shame of not being liked due to reading being for losers without friends, as girls bullied me over my gifted weird quirks. I was pretty but saw my self as ugly for trauma will deprive the mind of seeing itā€™s own true perception. I was never understood how my looks became a thing used against me by girls who were jealous until I learnt about this myself. I recently accepted and remembered this all after 3 years of integrated healing. I was doing this all on my own. the spiritual and metaphysical work is my primary tool that was keeping me here. Actually saving my suicide program from self destruct after the March 2017 incident I shall not talk about now. But Iā€™m here now, alive, kicking, Saturn here to shove my shadow to consciousness without prompt and this change can bring me into a 30 year blueprint of setting things right.
Now in order to build a solid and functional framework and foundational life. I have a litany of secrets I need to get off my chest. I think to share my growth, my thoughts and my experiences for my own liberation of my deep dark secrets finally free to be released into the public domain.
I have no choice but to share this.
I do this co consciously as a part of my integrative process.
Maybe One day it might be a guide for someone who was as alone as I feel doing all of this self work without support. Maybe it will fade into the cyber void forever. Maybe Iā€™ll use this as a tool to help clients in the future. Whatever this is means nothing but what the process of alchemy can do to forge my liberation from soul loss and traumatic dissociative trauma.
As a therapist I always wanted to avoid what I went through growing up. Now more so. I never want another lost dissociative mental health client who was also stuck between professional and academic pursuits being my ā€œpurposeā€ and having to sacrifice career and my study and research to sit in my shadow to see the shit.
In order to break the shit therapist mould I list journey through my own shit first. This meant I needed to be away from all therapy both as a client and practitioner and student for awhile. Iā€™ve been off since the end of 2017 and now itā€™s clear it was neeed, how do I heal without healing my own shit first? Am I not the finest example of how bad therapists can get away with their bullshit and be paid for it but never really know who they are. Iā€™m never doing that. I never was about that. So due to therapeutic negligence. I am finding my gift was the lesson. Those a shitty therapist who are a dime a dozen were the anti mentors I saw too often: but my purpose was to be a therapist. But a therapist who did things the way I never had.
Never did I want another to go into the heavy weight of shame from the secrets of sexual wounds, childhood schemas, mixed up and messed up conditioning made to seem functional to outsiders. But that was all alters. Now it was a spiritual journey as magick and my mystical path entwines to save my soul. The self awakening, trauma revelations, merging with the dark night of soul, and the shadow work. Plus everything else coming out is not a journey I can say is or was at all easy, I suffer more now as a co conscious intergrating my trauma. I feel it all without the dissociative switch to save me from witnessing all the shit. Now I see my entire life and itā€™s fucked up raw and grim reality and I have to do something because I survived it this far? Again I never suicided or stopped into self destruction when I knew my own inner childā€™s wounds were no longer blacked out but burning bright longing for love. Symptoms for survival and the survival was part of the dissociative switching making my outside self seem so functional, but never seen. Itā€™s not something they needed to drug me for, but itā€™s another thing I have to address now. My symptoms they drugged with medications that were mind altering and powerful for anyone let alone a developing childā€™s brain, were suppressed by many meds. Who knows where that ends and the damage via trauma and other things begin? Itā€™s a mess of some thing I was never aware of but always trying to silence due to the need for people to accept me. But that was many mes all living a life that appeased many people, but not for me. Here we are.

11 Questions Meme!
Iā€™ve been tagged in some Fun Things so sorry in advance for some light spam today!Ā  For this one, I was tagged by @thevikingwoman
Rules: Answer 11 questions, write 11 of your own, tag 11 people
1. Something you like helping others with?
I really like being able to help people whenever I can, though i donā€™t usually have the mental energy to be a good consistent support system.Ā  Iā€™m better for like spur of the moment, weird hour of the night kind of help hahaha.
As far as I can tell, people seem to come to me when they want to make a big change or take a big risk.Ā  A move, a haircut, an audition, that kind of thing, because the way I live my life kind of draws attention to the fact that I do that kind of thing a lot hahaha.Ā  I really like being able to help people make a decision that might be considered crazy or scary by most people, because I think those often turn out to be the best ones for a lot of reasons.
2. Favorite non-Earth planet
I donā€™t have a strong attachment to any of them tbh?Ā  When we had to do reports on planets in elementary school I just asked to be assigned one that not a lot of people were doing.Ā  Didnā€™t want any of them feeling neglected.
3. Game that will be at E3 you are looking forward to
I donā€™t super care about any of the titles I see I guess?Ā  I like Fortnite okay but I donā€™t even know how to get better at it yet lol so itā€™s hard to envision spending a lot of time or money on it.
4. A book or fanfic you havenā€™t read but want to
Not unlike watching new things, the stars have to align for me to be in the mood to read a new thing, and lately Iā€™m just not in a concentrating mood.Ā  I also have the unfortunate habit of wanting to read an entire book/fic immediately or just forgetting about it until it comes back to me at like 2 am and I decide Now Is The Time.Ā  Come to think of it thereā€™s a fic by @menzosarres that Iā€™ve been meaning to check up on.
5. Pros and cons of campfires
Pros: fun and warm, often involves camaraderie and foodĀ  Cons: smoke and embers in face
6. What aspect of yourself is your favorite (stealing this one)
Lol itā€™s not a great time for this question bc Iā€™m kinda down on myself atm.Ā  I think itā€™s good that I try to make things happen for myself in spite of whatever inner demons are troubling me at the moment, and itā€™s led me to some interesting places.
7. First video game you played
Probably the Sims?Ā  I remember being crazy about the concept and wanting it for a really long time when I was really young.Ā  Iā€™m sure my parents had Regrets because I freaked myself out one day when my self-insert character died in a fire, and I had a lot of families where when the loading screen stayed up for a long time I had to be likeĀ ā€œtheyā€™re.................sistersā€ which I am positive fooled no one.
8. Favorite smell
I know itā€™s supposed to be like a Big Strong Sensory Thing but I honestly donā€™t have much emotional attachment to smells.Ā Ā 
9. Plans for the upcoming weekend? (or next day off)
I currently have four days off!Ā  But tbh Iā€™ve been kinda highkey depressed the last few days so Iā€™ve kinda got my hands full fielding that off.Ā  Iā€™m trying to just keep doing things eg. writing and singing even though my brain is likeĀ ā€œwhatā€™s the use youā€™re useless give it all up!!!ā€ but hereā€™s hoping something can inspire me enough to calm that shit down for half a second.Ā  Iā€™m also kinda vaguely considering another crazy person move after this contract lol like did you know you can only get a working holiday visa in Australia until youā€™re 30?Ā  The Time Might Be Now!
10. You go to the nursery to buy some plants. What do you get? Ā (Someone else is paying)
Idk anything about plants sorry I can barely keep myself alive
11. What will be better a year from nowĀ 
Something I wrote almost ten years ago has become something I still cling to in times of turmoil.Ā  Iā€™ve never been able to envision myself or what Iā€™ll be doing very far in the future, and that used to trouble me a lot.Ā  Now I like to think that itā€™s because the future will hold things I never could have imagined in my present circumstances.
MY QUESTIONS:
1. Whatā€™s something you used to dislike about yourself but have made peace with? 2. A bad habit or negative trait youā€™ve overcome/improved? 3. The most accomplished/proud youā€™ve ever felt? 4. What do you do when youā€™re feeling sad? 5. How do you react when someone hurts your feelings? 6. Do you prefer hot weather or cold? 7. If you could easily uproot your whole life and live anywhere else in the world, where would you go and why? 8. What makes you feel trapped, and what makes you feel free? 9. Early mornings or late nights? 10. A physical activity you enjoy and a physical activity you hate? 11. Favourite season, and why?
Okay here we go Iā€™m great at tagging people:Ā  @misslestrange274 @menzosarres @artwaffle142 @delilahmidnight @delirious-comfort @joansgloveĀ @quintrovertĀ @widowwaif @rocket2saturn @petradanvers @littlereddoveĀ  OMG I DID IT I DID IT THATā€™S 11
Please do not feel obligated and if you donā€™t like being tagged in things please tell me!

hiya drew, what are a couple bands/songs you'd recommend for someone interested in getting into classic rock? I hope you're having a great day
hey anon! this is an extremely loaded question! sdfjdfkgjd (and iā€™m really flattered youā€™re askin me, because, omg, itā€™s an honor)
(under a read more bc i talk too god damn much)
okay. lemme preface this by saying i barelyĀ scratch the surface when it comes to classic rock. in fact i just like theĀ ā€œpopularā€ classic rock bands, because iā€™m a hipster loser (and i grew up on some of this stuff and donā€™t really have much of an interest venturing further but hey, who knows, maybe iā€™ll expand my spotify library in due time)
there are people on this website in the CR fandom who are so much better equipped to answer this, but u asked me, and i never really bothered to integrate into the cr fandom anyway because i feel like theyre all cooler than me and i just wanna sit down and listen to like, the same two albums on repeat, but anyway. to answer your questionā€¦
it really just depends on what genre you like. what kindĀ of music you want to get into; i can sit here and tell you to listen to pink floyd and go on about their significance but i canā€™t make you Like them yknow?
soā€¦..iā€™m just gonna list a few of my favorite songs by the most well-known classic rock bands because, like i said i just kind of barely scratch the surface on the classic rock format as a whole
as some of you may be aware, i am drewĀ ā€œbeatlefuckerā€ angelshane (thanks ana) and to get these bug boys out of the way, iā€™ll give u some song recs from the beatles! (early 1960s to 1970) (genres: rock, pop, psychedelia)
surely youā€™ve heard of them; if not, they caused a huge uproar across the world called beatlemania. think of likeā€¦tumblr, as a planet, and the beatles is the newest, hottest anime of the season, and everybodyā€™s got a huge heart boner for them. because thatā€™s basically what it was.
here are some of their songs that have been in my head for the past few days: drive my car (rubber soul, 1965); eleanor rigby (revolver, 1966); and if i fell (a hard dayā€™s night, 1964)
revolver is the most recent album iā€™ve listened to, they have more but the next proper Album is sgt. pepper and that feelsā€¦like. so much. itā€™s a Huge Album, both content-wise andā€¦history-wise? anyway, itā€™s very intimidating for me and i think i want to take my time with it before i rush in
iā€™m just gonna get led zeppelin (late 1960s to 1980, some reunions sprinkled here and there,) out of the way, now, too. (genres: hard rock, blues rock, folk rock, heavy metal)
let me just say right here: i hate jimmy page. as a person. and i honestly think most of his solos arenā€™tā€¦that great. but for real, i wonā€™t tolerate any of that ugly shithead on my blog and just because i like LZ doesnā€™t mean i condone any of the shit he did.
(youā€™ll notice a trend, especially in the older bands, that controversy is super common. u canā€™t..really get into classic rock without having to see the darker side of your faves. it sucks, nobodyā€™s perfect, and i donā€™t agree with separating the artist from the art, but it does get hard to like certain music when you know the shit that happened with certain artists.)
Anyway! that being said, i truthfully only really listen to led zeppelin and led zeppelin ii. some physical graffiti but, eh. So, if you wanted to get into lz, youā€™re askin the wrong person, is what iā€™m saying jfkgsdj
hereā€™s my song recs: good times bad times and dazed and confused (led zeppelin, 1968); whole lotta love and ramble on (led zeppelin ii, 1969); kashmir (physical graffiti, 1975)
and honestly the JP thing is why i donā€™t really listen to LZ much outside of their self titled and lz2. cos like. i just canā€™t.
QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN (1970s toā€¦now? personally, if freddie mercury isnā€™t involved then..is it really queen) (genre: rock)
if you donā€™t know who queen is, you know who queen is. bohemian rhapsody? of course you know that song. everyone does.
but if you donā€™tĀ then thatā€™s perfectly ok too. itā€™s a good song imo. not their Best, but itā€™s good
i gotta be honest, i listen to singles mostly. iā€™ve got a lot on my proverbial plate and while i Love freddie mercury (bi king) sometimes iā€™m just. not in the headspace for queen. theyā€™re good but a certain specific set of circumstances need to happen where i feel aligned with queen music enough to listen to it. also, freddieā€™s death makes me really sad and if i think about it too hard iā€™ll get depressed.
hereā€™s my favorite queen songs!!!
brighton rock and killer queen (sheer heart attack, 1974); youā€™re my best friend (a night at the opera, 1975); somebody to love and GOOD OLD FASHIONED LOVER BOYĀ (a day at the races, 1976); TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOUĀ (made in heaven, 1996)
honestly..queen is so influential and inspiring and i fucking love freddie mercury so like. those are just aĀ fewĀ of my favorites. i could honestly go on forever about it but letā€™s stop there
now letā€™s get away from the boys and talk about stevie nicks because she is my mother and i would die in her place given the chance. i love her. I Love Her.
but i mean youā€™d probably better begin at fleetwood mac (late 1960s to the mid 1990s; late 1990s to ā€¦now?) (genres: pop rock, soft rock, blues rock, art pop, british blues)
this is a band i donā€™t know much about. because thereā€™s apparently so much to know about them, so much inter-band dynamic drama. from what iā€™ve skimmed. So Much Drama.
iā€¦canā€™t provide any songs for you, because i dont listen to fleetwood mac and i need to fix this ASAP but i feel like the time isnā€™t rightĀ yet. is that dumb of me to think? probably, but iā€™m gonna stick by my guns.
you should listen to fleetwood mac and tell me what you think!!!
(yes i included a portion on stevie nicks without giving song recs because iā€™m awful: listen to edge of seventeen, bella donna, 1981)
okay back to smelly dudes cos thatā€™s all the world fuckin cares about i guess
pink floyd!!! (mid 1960s to mid 1990s, mid 2000s, and early/mid 2010s) (genres: progrock, art rock, psychedelic rock)
i mean i love them but iā€™m just dipping my toes in the water here. iā€™ve barely listened to them, but from what iā€™ve heard theyā€™re very good. VERY politically driven. i cannot stress this enough. theyā€™re the good kind of politics i think though
youā€™ve most definitely seen the album art for the dark side of the moon. like, you just have. thereā€™s probably no way you couldnā€™t have. (but if u havenā€™t thats fine)
hereā€™s some tunes: money (tdsotm, 1973); the wall. just. the wall. if you love concept albums, here you go. listen to the wall.
thatā€™s all i got. pathetic, i know, but iā€™m workin my way up i promise
hereā€™s where we get into more familiar territory. ..having said that, i donā€™t really know much about the history of the rolling stones, but a good friend of mine Does and maybe i can pry info out of her. but i wonā€™t bc sheā€™s too cool 4 school and sheā€™s really great
anyway, the rolling stones!!! (early 1960s to like. now i guess) (genres: rock, blues, blues rock, rock and roll)
woof. what can be said about them really. thereā€™sā€¦..almost too much to say. i love them a lot.
Okay when i get into bands, its in my DNA to listen from the very earliest recording i can find (usually on spotify nowadays) so iā€™ve been sslowly working my way past the baby pebbles albums (mostly covers) to their original work (fun fact did you know john and paul of beatlesĀ fame wrote their own music, and when mick and keith of stonesĀ fame found out it was In Fact That Easy they began to write their own music too? fascinating.)
ANYWAY hereā€™s some stones songs: gimme shelter and you canā€™t always get what you want (let it bleed, 1969); angie (goats head soup, 1973); sympathy for the devil (beggars banquet, 1968)
again i amā€¦.Slowly inching my way up their discography. snails pace. iā€™ll get there. (u can ask glimmerkeith on tumblr for stones song recs, bc shes great and knows much more than i do and i would die for jenn)
now hereā€™s a bandā€¦ā€¦.that iā€™ve rediscovered pretty recently. try, last week.
AC/DC!!!!!!!! (early 1970s to now) (genres: hard rock, blues rock, rock and roll)
this is Very Much Your Dadsā„¢ Music. probably. most likely, anyway. but listen: i saw them in concert once and (while it probablyā€¦wasnt the best experience for me) i had a fucking Blast. very sad things happened in this band in the last few months.
not recent, but very important, in 1980 their lead singer bon scott died and everyone was sad. then brian johnson came out with his fuckin voice and everyone was likeĀ ā€œok sweet lets get back to rock nā€™ rollā€
so this will be split by scottā€™s era and the johnson era (heh heh) And, because iā€™m familiar with this band, iā€™ll list the album in question and name a few songs off it instead of just naming songs. because yes.
scott:
T.N.T (1975); itā€™s a long way to the top (if you wanna rock ā€˜nā€™ roll); T.N.T; high voltage
dirty deeds done dirt cheap (1976); dirty deeds done dirt cheap (edit: i just realized how much i actually hate this album and only like that song so WHOOPS but i wanna keep the formatting so, yknow)
let there be rock (1977); let there be rock; whole lotta rosie
highway to hell (1979); highway to hell (it just felt really weird, making a reclist of songs by ac/dc and Not including this one)
johnson:
back in black (1980); HELLS BELLS; shoot to thrill; given the dog a bone; back in black; you shook me all night long
for those about to rock we salute you (1981); for those about to rock (we salute you)
the razors edge (1990); thunderstruck
making this list, it hit me how much of bon scott i actually Listen to when i listen to ac/dc dfkjghjdfksdsfj but uh yeah those. are good
AND NOWā€¦FOR THE FUCKIN MOMENT Iā€™VE BEEN WAITING FOR
GUNS! AND! ROSES! (mid 1980s to NOW MOTHERFUCKERS!!! THEYRE BACK!!! well, touring at least) (genres: hard rock, heavy metal
arguably my favorite band. subjectively, my favorite classic rock band. objectively? they own a huuuge portion of my heart, and my ass.
so listen up: these two kids from indiana run away to california to get out of fucking indiana, because who wants to stay in indiana, (itā€™s more like, one gets out, and like a year later the other kid tries to find him in the big mean streets of L.A) and along the way they get shuffled in and out of bands together. they start bands, break up bands, the whole fuckin shebang.
and then a few chance miracles happen and suddenly guns nā€™ roses is formedĀ in like 1985. my boys? those are my boys.
iā€™m gonna do what i did w ac/dc and bullet the albums and then iā€™m gonna talk about the albums because i got SHIT to SAY
appetite for destruction (1987); welcome to the jungle, out ta get me, paradise city, sweet child oā€™ mine, ROCKET QUEEN
all right so hereā€™s the deal, it was very hard not picking every single song on the album because every single song on the album is fucking perfection. actual gold. thereā€™s no flaws in this album. Nothing. everything is good and perfect and iā€™m not biased at all
did you know axl rose (one of the boys from indiana) recorded each line individually? so, he sang a line, and then stopped recording, and then started recording the next line because he wanted it to be perfect?
did you know appetite was originally a flop album but after this dude got the guys at MTV to play the music video for Jungle at like 5am, guns nā€™ roses BLEW THE FUCK UP. Everybody know about them practically overnight. it was surreal and really cool, apparently.
and did you know axl played the synthesizer in paradise city? thatā€™s adorable. i fucking love him.
gnā€™r lies (1988); patience; used to love her
the first four tracks in this EP are from their very first EP ever recorded - it Sounds like itā€™s taken from a live show but they dubbed in the audience in post, to make it seem like they had huge crowds attending their shows when in reality that wasnā€™t the case. (their first ep was released in december 1986, they had loyal fans but the crowd wasnā€™t that rowdy until after appetite came out)
believe me when i tell you. donā€™t listen to one in a million. or like, do. but iā€™m not gonna fight anyone about this. itā€™s fucked up. iā€™m not defending axl at all and i actually struggled with liking guns after i listened to it.
but unfortunately here we are and i saw them in concert and i had to deal with some fuckhead in the row behind me and his friend who kept Shouting that they play the song, when nobody on stage could her them, and like. of course they wouldnā€™t play it today. fuck off man
use your illusion i (1991); right next door to hell; dust nā€™ bones; perfect crime; november rain;Ā BAD APPLES; COMA
i tried to limit these to five songs an album but i fuckin canā€™t, anon. illusion1 is just so fucking perfect. i canā€™t choose between my children. pls forgive me
on dust nā€™ bones and double talkinā€™ jive is izzy stradlin doing vocals (the second indiana boy, the one who left indiana first) and heā€™s regarded as the most unnderrated member in gnr by like everybody. so much so that itā€™s almostā€¦too much. but like basically he was addicted to drugs and everything and then he sobered up when everyone else in the band was still hooked and he was likeĀ ā€œwtf iā€™m outā€ and axl was like noooo :(
use your illusion ii (1991); civil war; 14 years; GET IN THE RING; locomotive; estranged; you could be mine
UYI1 and 2 were released on the same day. can you imagine how fuckin wild that day was? gnr fans scrambled to their record stores by the hordes probably.
izzy does vocal work in 14 years and this album was his last contribution to the band
uhhhh this album is also fucking perfect but i get sad listening to it sometimes so i try not to? very emotionally driven work. but like, where UYI1 was mostly passionate and angry-ish based, UYI2 is much more contemplative and uhh. sad. i guess.
ā€œthe spaghetti incident?ā€ (1993)
this is a cover album and also the last album to feature my love, my soul, my light, my heart, slash. also duff. i mean i love him probably almost just as much but, yeah. duff actually looks like my cousinā€™s dad so i canā€™t reallyā€¦. um. i feel weird about talking about him kjdfgd
but SLASH my god what a perfect man. i love him more than almost everything.
hey fun fact in between UYI and TSI, guns nā€™ roses toured with metallica and that tour is when slash, In His Autobiography, said heĀ ā€œlostā€ axl. his word. he Lost axl.
axl rose is a whole fuckinā€¦..topic for another time, and iā€™m not gonna get into my own bullshit here, but thatā€™s basically the situation when you listen to TSI. the band is fractured and barely holding together. after TSI, slash and duff leave GNR and axl is the only original member from the band still in it
(of course that opens up a conversation of who was originally in guns nā€™ rosesĀ but thatā€™s another discourse for another time)
CHINESE DEMOCRACY (2008); CHINESE DEMOCRACY; BETTER; THERE WAS A TIME; SORRY; MADAGASCAR; PROSTITUTE
I. FUCKING. LOVE. THIS. ALBUM. MORE THAN I COULD EVER EXPRESS. everyone says itā€™sĀ ā€œnot gnrā€ of COURSE it isnā€™t gnr, when YOU think of GNR, you see slash. and like, i love slash? but he didnā€™t make the band. EVERYONE - axl, izzy, steven, duff, And slash made the band. after steven was kicked, gnr lost a huge part of what made them stand out, what made the band unique.
and like, fuck, i love dizzy. i love all of the new additions. but you cannot. fucking look me in the eyes and tell me you love UYI But you hate CD because itā€™sĀ ā€œnot gnrā€. like. fuck you man.
ugh anyway. i just gotta let yā€™all know my Stance on this. i love chinese democracy. iā€™ll defend this album with my fucking life. i was reallyā€¦disappointed when, at my concert, i didnā€™t hear more CD but like i also saw slash in personĀ (albeit, from far away, but we shared the same arena and thatā€™s. more than i can handle)
i wanna get lyrics from prostitute tattooed on my body.
also like you canā€™t tell me better and sorry arenā€™t about slash sorry but thatā€™s just the fuckin tea
Now, listen, this ask got away from me. i didnā€™t includeā€¦SO many bands because, like i said, i just scratch the surface of what classic rock is. my word isnā€™t law, ok? that bein said, i am always, ALWAYS down to talk about any of the bands here, and others!!! if i know of them. iā€™m always taking music/song recs, too.
thanks..for reading this stupid answer to your innocent ask sdfkjghsdf

2. Favorite Youtuber? Dan and Phil hands down always have been always will be4. best comeback youā€™ve told? omg iā€™ve actually been wanting to tell this story for so long one time at work when i worked as a cashier a male customer jokingly saidĀ ā€œwomen always want moneyā€ when i told him how much his purchase was and i repliedĀ ā€œyeah thatā€™s why we go to workā€ and to this day this is still one of the best things i have ever said6. Are you good with make up? i meanā€¦iā€™ve been doing my makeup for ten yearsā€¦no i am not good at it :D thereā€™s a specific way i like to do MY makeup and that works great but iā€™m shit at blending, contouring, eyeliner, i donā€™t wear highlight, my foundation never matches (which isā€™t actually my fault believe me i would LOVE to find a pale, very yellow-toned foundation), i wear black in my waterline despite that my eyes look incredibly small already because of my -6/-7 glassesā€¦i pretty much break every makeup rule but itā€™s okay because i like the way i look the way i do it8. Whatā€™s your sexuality? bi as FUCK12. What was your first Fandom? the phandomā€¦and it hasā€™t let go sinceā€¦14. First OTP? every show and movie iā€™ve ever watched had their own OTP and most of the time one wasnā€™t better than the other but i do always say Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl were the original OTP i shipped them so hard before i even knew what shipping was16. Why did you sign up for Tumblr? bc of Dan mostly. donā€™t know what i was hoping i would gai from it but boy did it change my life22. Have you ever gotten in a physical fight? if you count that i fought off my mom with my legs once cause she was about to hit me or do idk what with me24. Whatā€™s an inside joke you have? ICH HASSE DIESEN. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY26. What are your side blogs? i donā€™t actually have any i just have a bunch of saved urls but this is my only blog32.

Morning routine? wake up after pressing snooze for like 45min, have breakfast, go shower, put on makeup, put clothes and shoes on, blowdry hair and sometimes straighten bangs when i need them to stay straight for longer than blowdrying keeps them straight, and leave. if i only have a doctorā€™s appointment i donā€™t put on any makeup, and sometimes iā€™ll eat when iā€™m back instead of before the appointment. in those cases itā€™s just shower, put on clothes and shoes and blowdry hair38. Favorite toothpaste flavor? imma steal Vivaā€™s answer and say the one they make for kids and then also just regular minty toothpaste. are there any other flavors of toothpaste42.

How come youā€™re never in Slovenia?
I usually come to Slovenia every year, this year I havenā€™t yet, but Iā€™ll make my way down soon. (very soon, whoeverā€™s in Europe letā€™s catch up!) Currently, life in Europe isnā€™t a big part of mineā€¦ apart from friends and family that live there. The beautiful land of the small country is surrounded by such amazing landscapes, mountains, lakes, and waterfallsā€¦ but I found a similar paradise on the other side of the world. I think that is why I love BC so muchā€¦ because it reminds me of Slovenia.
Ā  Ā  What is the best place in the world?
The one that Iā€™m in right now.
I donā€™t travel to places, only toĀ dream about that best one that I could be in. I loveĀ how flexible my life can be sometimes, that allows meĀ to explore some pretty cool places. But itā€™s funny how I never think aboutĀ someplace holding the title of the best.Ā I like to appreciateĀ the town that Iā€™m currently in, without thinking about a better spot toĀ be at that moment. I hope that makes sense.
Ā  Ā  What camera do you shoot with?
I use Canon 5D mark ii. Best investment I ever did. The best lens that I love to pair it with, is my 50 mm f1.4.
Ā  Do you use your drone a lot?
Yes, I take my drone, everywhere I go, hereā€™s a shot, from one of my favorite Uluwatu beaches:
Ā  The cheapest way of traveling?
Well, depends how far you want to get. Iā€™ve hitchhiked all around Canada, states, and Europe. I have no problems with packing all my shit in a backpack and sticking my thumb out in the middle of the highway. Iā€™ve literally done that one day when I was supposed to go up to Whistler to ski, my friends ditched so I booked a flight to Santa Cruz to surf for a week and hitchhiked to the airport. (You gotta do what you gotta do, no?) I have met many amazing people through hitchhiking, who are still, till this day, some of my best friends!
Ā  Ā  Ā  If you live in BC and the cost of gas might be getting in your way of going to more placesā€¦ you should definitely check out this awesome rideshare site, Poparide. I have taken lots of people with me while going places ā€“ especially for the long drives! Saves money for gas and provides great company! Personally, I really like it.
Then, there are plenty of cheap accommodation options on sites like Booking.com and Airbnb.com ā€“ look for homestays which save money and give you a chance to meet some locals!
If you want to know more about how I get around, check out my TRAVEL page.
Ā  Ā  What do you do, for work?
ā€“Ā photographyĀ (adventure(outdoors), commercial, lifestyle, sports, Instagram content, and brand promotion ā€“ read below)
ā€“Ā website designĀ (pretty self-explanatory I would say, if you know someone whoā€™s in need of a website, donā€™t be afraid to shoot me an email! got some specials coming for the holidays
ā€“Ā affiliate marketing links and collaborations with different brands
ā€“ online work for thisĀ awesome travel companyĀ (psstā€¦weā€™re launching soon)
ā€“ sellingĀ prints!
ā€“Ā social media consultingĀ Ā for new, upcoming brands
My weekly workload changes throughout the months, but that pretty much sums it up. I like to keep it busy, but not overwhelmed.
Ā  Ā  Do you also work, as you travel?
Yes ā€“ I do. I actually managed to create a sweet routine of being able to work from my laptop, pretty much. I usually book my photo shoots, before I travel to a certain place and work from there. Most of the time, working from a laptop, I edit pictures, build websites for others, manage projects back home or I hold private health consulting sessions over Skype and manage my SEEKING THRIVE business. I have studied the Holistic Approach of Integrative NutritionĀ which is allowing me to travel the world while spreading information about wealth in our health. We have a few spots left in our Portugal retreat if youā€™re interested check out the EVENT.
Ā  Ā  Collaborating with brands
Through my Instagram, I collaborate with a lot of different brands as their influencer. In my opinion, the term ā€œcollabā€ applies to more than just creatives and companies, it also refers to the collaboration between consumer and creator to support one another in their artful pursuits. This year, I made the commitment to only support brands that align with my beliefs. I ONLY promote brands whose products Iā€™ve tried and whoā€™s working conditions, sustainability plan and green planet lifestyle co-ops with mine! Usually, the companies that I work with produce surfing or snowboarding clothing lines, homemade products, natural skincare etcā€¦
If I have the power of influencing my followers, blog readers, kids of my friends and my family, then I want to do it, because Iā€™m doing something good. Not to increase the already big percentage of consumption on this planet. Every time we shop, we give our money to businesses who make decisions in favor of the environment, we shift the direction of our future. As ocean dwellers and seaside occupants, we can no longer afford to stand by and watch our sacred playgrounds be destroyed. We are simply out of time. Being a conscious consumer means we hold the power to support the development of new values in a fast-changing social climate. Fashion is dictated by trends, and we decide the trends. It is our responsibility to make sustainability a permanent trend that drives those industry standards forward.
Ā  ***I DO NOT support brands who run a business of only making money, underpaying or abusing their workers, getting out a wrong message to young girls or test their products on animals.***
Ā  I love to support:
local or family-owned businesses with locally produced products
brands who put their effort into eliminating single-use plastics
fair trade
small production/handmade/organic/sustainably produced clothing
brands that GIVE AWAY (Patagonia)
companies that are making a point of reducing their footprint
authentic and artful contribution
products made with an intention
Ā  Here some of the brands Iā€™ve collaborated with:
Organic Cup, Suntribe Sunscreen, Manda, Entreaguas Swimwear,
Ā  These are some of the examples of products I love to spread the word about. Those companies work hard to support the environment and the health of our bodies. As a surfer, zinc cream and sunscreen are the most important things I always pack with me, thatā€™s why it matters a lot, how it impacts my skin and the water that I surf in. Using the organic ingredients of their choice, like cacao butter and olive oil come with many nutrient minerals and vitamins! These ingredients also donā€™t harm the coral reef for example, like other sunscreens. I have also been using the Organic Cup as a supplement from pads and tampons. That has saved me so much money (which can go towards another plane ticket) and waste! I love it.
** If you are a brand that wishes to collaborate with me, in exchange of an Instagram post or a blog post, please fill out the form below or contact me directly **
Ā  Are you vegan?
No. I donā€™t like labels to begin with, but I eat a wholesome 90% plant-based diet and I believe in diversity. Balance is important in my life, especially when it comes to food. I eat a big variety of foods and cooking is one of my favorite activities. Transferring into a mainly plant-based diet has been easier than I imagined and dramatically improved how I felt and looked. I share the recipes daily of my cook-ups on Seeking Thrive Instagram.
Ā  What does your morning routine look like?
I love this. Absolutely love my mornings. Developing a calm, taking-it-slow routine in the last year has helped me staying motivated in waking up early. My day usually begins around 6 in the morning, as the sun rises up (or doesnā€™t ā€“ if its winter time and Iā€™m in Whistler). I keep it simple. No distractions, no phone or music or sounds or the internet. The worse habit that Iā€™m happy that I got rid off, is checking my social media first thing, after waking up. No, I left that in 2018.
Even though I had developed a routine, I donā€™t necessarily stick to it very strictly. Sometimes I would meditate before journaling and other times I will do a 30-minute yoga stretch and then meditate. The idea was built around 3 or 4 mindful practices that include yoga, meditation, morning journaling and listing things Iā€™m grateful for. Followed by the cup of green tea (or boiled ginger water with lemon) with a walk outside. No matter where I am at the moment, I love the quiet mornings. Still no distractions.
After breakfast (avo toast, granola or smoothie bowl, freshly squeezed orange juice or chia pudding) I work! So that means finally turning on my mobile devices, checking email and planning my day! Which is also the end to my zen morning! If itā€™s the weekend (which doesnā€™t necessarily mean the end of the Western week that we know, simply a day that I choose not to work), that usually puts me in the mood to read a book. I donā€™t think many people know, that I am a huge book warm. I read books in Slovenian, English or recently Spanish. Iā€™m also a firm believer that books help to enhance my mood, and calm me down at the same time. Expanding my vocabulary, the creative flow and giving my brain a nice workout is important too. Is basically food for the soul! Authors and books that inspire me are usually the ones describing a surfers lifestyle, (Barbarian Days is an amazing one) or the ones with a strong female lead. They remind me of my mom.
Ā  Whatā€™s your favorite workout?
I am not a gym person and the youtube workouts are also something long gone. Now, all the workout that I do for my body is the sports that I live for. Whether is surfing, climbing, snowboarding, hiking or even yoga. I make sure something interesting happens every day. Which isnā€™t hard, since my whole life is basically planned on the Search for the waves to surf, rocks to climb or the hunt for the best powder.
Ā  Where are you based out of?
Iā€™m based out of Canada. Most of my year, I live in this small coastal town Squamish, which is a playground for big kids. Lovers of mountain biking, backcountry skiing, kitesurfing, and hiking come from all over the world, to enjoy the beauty of our place! Surrounded by mountains, close to the ocean ā€“ my friends and I fell in love with this piece of paradise that we now proudly call home.
Ā  Do you make videos too?
For sure. I took a break from video making that I loved so much, in earlier stages of my ā€œmedia careerā€. But I am ready now, to start creating more. I think it was good of how I grew a little more, gave my creative self some space, and now Iā€™m back on track with ideas for more stories Iā€™d love to produce. In terms of filmmaking, 2019 will be a very exciting year.
MOTION REEL is the name of my portfolio. I think it holds a washed out, rustic touch from the ā€™90s which Iā€™m a fan on. It makes me think of film camera, typewriter script and coffee spilled storyboarding. The pieces that bring me the most joy, were usually shot with some hippie athletes, in the mountains or beach bums in Bali. I had an amazing opportunity of shooting with Ozzy Wright in Uluwatu and some pretty impressive skiers in Whistler. Similar as with photography, my love for filmmaking keeps growing every day.
Ā  Where did you learn photography and editing?
Mostly while practicing. Being on terrain and working with other professionals and experts. Having a circle of friends that are into the same things, really helped me improve them. And not just with photography! I watched a lot of Youtube and Skillshare videos and tutorials. I even made one on my own, about tropical photography!
Ā  Where are you from?
I was born in Slovenia. That is where it all began. My father is Slovenian, and so is my mom. But she was born and raised in Argentina, where my brothers and I spend a lot of our childhood. Bariloche is aĀ beautiful place, located in Patagonia and Iā€™m very proud to call it my home, even though I wasnā€™t born there.
Ā  Words that you live by?
ā€œEmbrace the highs and learn from the lows; stability is important, but it is not our purpose.ā€
Ā  What are your top skin care products?
I have actually been eliminating any kind of product from my morning and evening routine. In general, using close to zero of the cosmetic chemical stuff, full of promises. Iā€™ve been completely in love with just massaging myself with organic coconut oil before and after a shower, either when Iā€™d wake up or before going to sleep. For my face, I only use Zinc made sunscreen, for surfing (I use SuntribeĀ Sunscreen ā€“ theyā€™re the best small family-run business, based out of Europe) and for washing my face ā€“ I make a mix of pure coconut and argan oil. Voila! If my skin isnā€™t having a great week, I would usually apply some tea tree oil.
I am nowhere near having perfect skin, but Iā€™m learning how to accept it and love it every day.
