Kas let himself fully relax this time, letting his more inhuman appearance show, his wings stretched out once before curling comfortably against his back and he draped his tail around both of them. “You’re heart is fast I can hear it .. “ he grinned “and yet you don’t act like your afraid of me.. “ he leaned closer, despite his confident appearance he seemed almost nervous .. “.. I want to try something with you.. that thing humans do.. with their faces together .. “ he could remember seeing it but he wasn’t sure if he had ever experienced it.. but he wanted to.
fireinsidetherabbit:
Kas chuckled and licked up the side of her neck, “oh? My little rabbit and why is that ?” He asked resting his hand on her lower belly . “I think it’s a rather fair question you see, you are the only person who’s response to this … excites me~”
“I – what?” She asked, blush deepening further at his choice of words. Everywhere he touched felt somehow warm, and the trail of heat his hands left behind made her squirm as she did her best to resist the strange sensation. “No way… anyone would feel good if you fed from them so intimately…”

NPMD Tarot - The Hierophant
Others from the series: The Devil, The Lovers, The Star, Strength, The World
Symbolism + some WIP/alternatives are under the cut C:
My intuition put Grace as the High Priestess, but from what I've read it's more about spirituality and intuition, while the Hierophant is all about strong traditional beliefs and ruling/leading, so it fits her way better! :D
Left side/Beginning has the dance cancellation sign, since that was her mission and Max was her first victim, while on the right/Ending is Jason and the Black Book, her mission and source of power has changed.
Halo= superiority, holy mission, Red as a sign of danger/death to come (which is why the light it's only on the boys)
She's sitting on what's supposed to be the bleachers C:

i spent WAY too much time making this drawing for a silly prehistoric creature version of this meme XD
Auroralumina attenboroughii is the earliest known animal predator as of right now, and its believed to have eaten little plankton-like creatures!
Hope you enjoy this silly drawing, and have an AWESOME day!!
#auroralumina attenboroughii#auroralumina#prehistoric#paleoart#paleo meme#ediacaran#i didn't even know this creature existed until i had the idea to do this meme with the first animal to have to kill other animals XD#i was expecting to draw a goofy cambrian animal like anomalocaris but instead i found this cool tube-y anemone-y thing!#it took so long to draw mainly because i really wanted to make it look like cool paleo-art - usually i draw very cartoony

missing alpha daddy james dearly. would love to hear your thoughts on how he and stevie would approach their heat/rut, or oh my i would kill to read their bonding
This one's been in my head for like 3 days straight and I have like 4 other things I need to be working on, BUT I WROTE THIS INSTEAD
--
Like, let’s say in this ‘verse that Alphas are just a step above feral when they’re in rut. They’re so clouded by instinct and need that they can’t even remember their own names.
Alpha Daddy Bucky, he would be afraid to subject his baby to that. His perfect boy, who’s so fucking innocent and sweet—too sweet to handle an Alpha in rut.
Maybe an Alpha normally goes into rut 2-3 times a year. When the symptoms first start, you can take medication that will suppress it, but that’ll only work for up to 3 cycles. Any longer and it’ll be dangerous.
So at the start of their relationship, Bucky decides that’s what he’s going to do. The first year of their relationship, he never goes into rut.
And then that year is up and the next time he feels the symptoms start, he knows he has to go through with it. Steve has grown so much in that time. He’s flourished, a boy now confident in his needs and his place, but he’s still too sweet.
Bucky makes the necessary arrangements. Makes sure that everyone knows what’s coming and that they’ll need to guard his den and Steve to make sure his baby stays safe while he’s indisposed.
He doesn’t tell Steve. Steve will want to sacrifice himself to Bucky’s needs and Bucky won’t let that happen.
And then his rut comes.
He loses all sense of self, everything down to his name, until the only thing left is the animal inside.
The Alpha paces his den. He’s naked and sweating, his cock heavy and aching between his legs. He’s furious.
He wants to mount. To fuck. To knot.
There are toys littering his den just for that, but he hates all of them. He tried, but none of them satisfy the need clawing at his insides.
He needs someone with him. Someone to submit to his needs. Needs a mate. His mate.
Does he have a mate? He can’t remember, but the idea makes his cock pulse, precome dripping from the tip.
A mate would satisfy him. The toys don’t have a scent, they don’t submit. They just are.
He breaks more than one of them in his anger. He breaks everything, trashing the room in a fit of rage that stems from having so much energy—so much hunger, so much need—and having no place to put it.
It could be mere hours he spends alone. It could be days, years, a millennia. Time has no true meaning in his need, because every fucking second without relief is a cut underneath his skin.
Somewhere in the monotony of his pain, the door to his den opens and a little figure slips through.
The Alpha stops, breathing hard as he glares at the intruder.
It’s an Omega. A very small, very pretty Omega, barely older than a pup. The boy wears a comically large shirt tucked into a small skirt, carrying a teddy bear underneath one arm. The shirt has the Alpha’s scent on it—it’s his shirt, he’s sure of it, and his mouth goes dry.
The Omega shuts the door behind him, turning to glare at the Alpha.
“You are in so much trouble, Daddy,” he says in a furious whisper. “I’m so mad at you.”
Daddy.
Is that the Alpha’s name? It must be. The moment it falls from the pup’s lips, his gut tightens, his aching cock throbbing fiercely. His body likes that name. He wants to hear it again.
Still, the pup’s glare and his stance, fists perched on his tiny hips, is too much a challenge for an Alpha in rut.
The Alpha glares harder, snarling a warning at the pup. This is his territory, his den. He’ll abide no challenges here.
The boy blinks, cocking his head to the side. His hands leave his hips, coming up between them, palms out. He steps forward cautiously.
“Okay, Daddy,” he says softly. “I’m sorry.”
Before the Alpha can snap at him again, the pup folds himself neatly at the Alpha’s feet. The Alpha barely has time to notice how pretty he looks kneeling there, his tiny little skirt fanning over creamy pale thighs, before the pup takes the Alpha between glossy pink lips.
The Alpha groans, panting heavily as he watches the pup bob on his cock. The boy’s posture is relaxed, his scent contented, his warm, wet mouth gentle and hungry in equal measure. His gaze is lowered respectfully, never meeting the Alpha’s.
It isn’t sex. It’s submission. The pup is submitting to him, totally and completely, and for the first time since the haze of his rut took over, the Alpha settles.
It’s dangerous for anyone to help an Alpha through their rut, because this is what’s required. Total submission. An Alpha in rut craves to assert dominance.
The Alpha palms the back of the pup’s head, his fingers sliding through silky smooth hair.
“More,” he commands, his voice rough and gravel-deep as he tilts his hips. The hand on the pup’s head growing heavier.
The pup has offered submission with his warm mouth, but will he continue to submit when the Alpha dominates him? Or will he fight, challenge the Alpha?
He doesn’t challenge. He goes easily, sinking further onto the Alpha’s cock with a weak little moan. The Alpha groans again, his head tipping back as the pup continues to submit.
This is what he craved, what he needed. This is why the toys did not satisfy him, why they were an affront to his senses. Toys cannot be dominated. They cannot submit.
The Alpha’s chest rumbles with a deep, satisfied growl. His chin touches his chest, heavy-lidded gaze on the pup at his feet.
His knot aches. He’s going to put it in the pup’s mouth. Come with his knot behind the boy’s teeth and his cock in that pretty, slim throat. He’ll make the boy take it.
But not yet. The boy looks so pretty at his feet, and some distant part of him knows that if he rushes it, he’ll hurt the pup. He doesn’t want to hurt the pup.
So instead, he stands there and accepts the pup’s submission as his due, and tells himself that if he’s patient, he’ll be rewarded.
He doesn’t know how long they’re like that before the door bursts open.
The Alpha looks up, glaring at the two men hovering in the doorway, but they’re not looking at him.
“What are you doing in here?” One of them hisses frantically. “Come back here, you can’t be here, the boss will kill us.”
The Alpha’s hackles rise. They want to take the pup away from him.
They won’t get him, not this pretty boy who submits so easily. If they try—if they even think of touching the pup—the Alpha will kill them both.
Before the Alpha can answer, or the rage can take over, the Omega pulls away from his cock. He turns his head to glare at the two men.
“Go away,” he says, somehow firm and pouting at the same time. The Alpha’s cock throbs at the sight of that plump lower lip glistening in the low light. “I’m not leaving Daddy, he needs me.”
Daddy. That name again. God, his body likes that name. His cock bobs, smearing precome over the Omega’s cheek.
“He said—”
“I don’t care what he said,” the Omega says, glaring. “I’m not leaving my Daddy.”
Irritation flares inside the Alpha. The boy had been so pliant before, but now he’s dangerously close to challenging again and it’s purely the fault of the interlopers.
The Alpha forces two fingers into the pup’s mouth, hooking behind his teeth and pushing down until those pretty lips are open again. He guides the pup’s face back to him.
“Submit,” he demands roughly, all but shoving his cock back into the pup’s mouth.
He lets go of the boy’s jaw only to palm the back of his head again, gripping him tight and keeping pressure there so the pup can’t pull away again.
He pushes his cock deep and repeats, “Submit.”
Blessedly, the pup does.
This time, the Alpha rolls his hips to meet the boy’s eager mouth, fucking himself good and deep. The pup clutches at his thighs, moaning every time the Alpha’s cock hits the back of his throat.
He wanted to wait. He wanted to savor the pup’s submission. But he’s been challenged too much and the interlopers—they want to take the pup.
The Alpha pushes his cock into the boy’s throat and knots his mouth.
The boy shivers at his feet, making weak little noises as his throat convulses around the Alpha’s cock. His eyes roll into the back of his head and a moment later, the scent of his release reaches the Alpha’s nose.
God, the little pup likes it. Likes to be dominated so completely.
He’ll be lucky if the Alpha ever takes his knot out after this.
When the peak of his orgasm as faded, the Alpha looks back to the door. The men haven’t left.
He sneers.
“My knot is in his throat,” he tells them. Well. Close enough. “Will you try to take him now?”
They know they can’t. Even if they were brave enough to get so close—which they clearly aren’t—trying to take the pup now would hurt him.
He gives it a beat, letting that knowledge sink in, before he growls, “Leave.”
It’s clear the interlopers don’t want to do that, not without the pup, but they have no choice. They leave.
They come back, but they never get the boy.
Not when the little one is astride his hips, the Alpha’s cock buried deep in that tight, lithe little body. The pup’s shoulders hunched and the bear still under his arm, one hand braced against the Alpha’s chest as he hangs his head and cries.
“I don’t like it this way, Daddy,” he whispers. “Don’t make me.”
The Alpha knows. He realized that the moment he laid on his back and pulled the boy on top of him, could smell it in the little one’s scent.
The Alpha grips his small hips tight and demands, “Submit.”
The boy does, riding his cock as he sobs. The pup loves it and hates it, that much is clear. The Alpha only loves it. Loves the distress on the pup’s face, the tears dripping onto his bare chest, the tight hole milking his cock so perfectly, but most of all, he loves the pup’s submission. His obedience.
Distantly, he hears the door to his den open. This time, it doesn’t open all the way, just enough for more voices to float through.
“How the fuck did he get in there?”
“I don’t know—”
“You were supposed to make sure that doesn’t happen, you idiots—”
“God, the boss is going to kill us.”
“Ya think?”
“We have to get Steve away from him before he gets hurt, keep watch until you see an opportunity.”
The Alpha is irritated again. Not just from the intrusion, nor the distraction from the perfect picture of a distressed pup on his cock.
No, he’s irritated that they think he would hurt the pup. This lithe, delicate creature, so fine-boned that it would take no strength at all to break him.
He needs to dominate the pup—needs the pup to submit to him, totally and completely—but he would never hurt the pup. Just the idea threatens to soften his cock, which should be impossible in his state.
He gathers the boy to him, rolling them until the Alpha is on top of him now. He draws himself out of the pup’s hot, tight body before snapping his hips, burying himself to the hilt.
The pup comes, but still the Alpha doesn’t stop.
He rubs his body along the boy’s, sliding their skin together until their scents mix completely, fucking him hard because that’s what his instincts demand.
“Submit,” he murmurs to the pup, licking up the boy’s tears. “I won’t hurt you, pup, I just need you to submit.”
The boy makes a soft little noise, lithe fingers gripping the Alpha’s face and bringing him down for a needy kiss. When their lips part, the pup looks up at him with open, naked trust.
“I know, Daddy,” he whispers. “Even if you don’t. Even if they don’t. I know. You would never hurt me, not even like this.”
And what can the Alpha do but knot the pup after that?
#nani asks#greenberg replies#a/b/o dynamics#alpha rut#I was gonna take this through until Bucky remembers his own name again and is a little bit ashamed of how thoroughly he railed his baby boy#but I really do have other things I need to work on. so. XD

Negidrill (Miku x Teto) chart by me!! :D (My own headcanons)
This isn't any of the drawings I promised earlier but LOL, I drew this during work today and I wanted to color and line it. Time elapsed: about 4.5 hours (for the coloring/lining/adding text) and maybe 30 mins - 1 hour for the traditional drawing under the cut.
I took like 15 pictures trying to get a good pic but I wasn't satisfied with any of them 'cuz of the angle and how they're supposed to be in a line, so redrawing it digitally was fun....
Anyway, I drew this today 'cuz I've always liked flat colors (I was aiming for more of a flat color look but ended up adding some shadows anyway lol) and I saw a chart someone else made about their Miku and their Teto, and I really liked it and wanted to make one too! :D (Technically after I finished lining them, I could've done one more final lineart pass but I wanted to make it quick and get to the coloring already, so haha.)
I've been wanting to push out a "full drawing" for a while now, so take this! I have comic ideas and whatnot planned (all of that, all mostly yuri too lol), so I won't give you too much information about this chart, but I wanted to make it for fun, and also to practice some coloring. Each new drawing I make will become more rendered, maybe... My posting of things is all out of order but oh well hahahaha. Mesmerizer sometime eventually too. xD (And Neru ofc!)
Whenever I make something for Mikuteto, I do it to the exclusion of everything else, so I really can't make a huge habit of this hahahaha (I really want to and will eventually tho 😤)
[You may use/repost my art anywhere not on tumblr (unless it's RP) as long as you credit. No to AI though, please. Thanks!]
#my art#negidrill#mikuteto#tetomiku#miku x teto#kasane teto#hatsune miku#UTAU Teto is the older one and SV Teto is the younger one#I put quotes around sisters because I like Teto x Teto stuff too unfortunately www🙏#my fave is obviously Teto and Miku though so I usually depict them as sisters most of the time#idk if Miku is dating both of them but they definitely like her lmao#SV Teto at least is the most obvious about it#UTAU Teto is harder to guess xD#her friendship with Miku spans like 15+ years so it's that sorta thing you know xD#you're so close/comfortable that you COULD be dating but also not/dont have to#they do care about each other though definitely ^_^#i hope this doesnt need to be said but it's not proship#everything i ship is uncontroversial ty ty#i'll play with more art style/coloring things next time :]

One thing I feel people almost always overlook about Javert is that:
The book’s narrator is usually harsh/sarcastic towards Javert, and that harshness is why his character has pathos. Javert is able to be sympathetic because Victor Hugo has basically no respect for his beliefs. Javert is so pitiable because Hugo mocks and drags him on basically every page he appears.
I’ve mentioned before that the message of Les Mis is (paraphrasing) that ACAB— Javert is the best police officer it is possible to be, and he is terrible, because the laws he enforces are terrible. His law & order ideology is terrible. Everything he believes is fundamentally wrong, and so deeply wrong that it deserves no respect.
Yes, Hugo acknowledges that Javert occasionally has a misguided kind of nobility— the nobility of holding yourself honestly to a set of bad rules, the nobility of following a terrible moral code even when it hurts you. But Hugo has no respect for Javert’s bigotry, or his bootlicking, or his deranged obsessive worship of law and order. Hugo portrays the way that Javert martyrs himself for his ideology as strangely honorable— but the ideology itself is mocked and condemned. Hugo thinks martyrdom is cool, but that Javert is martyring himself for a terrible cause.
In his most sympathetic moments, Javert’s worldview is portrayed as pitiable…. not a worldview that’s worthy of true total genuine respect, but a worldview that’s deeply pathetic in its wrongness.
Without himself suspecting the fact, Javert in his formidable happiness was to be pitied, as is every ignorant man who triumphs.
This is part of why those old 2012-era les mis fanfics always threw me off, if anyone remembers the fandom trends at the time. XD People used to write Valjean and pre-barricades Javert having political debates, as if the two of them could make arguments about law that were equally valid and worthy of respect, and pre-barricades Javert had a worthwhile set of beliefs that Valjean could learn from. But to me it’s personally kinda like, no XD. Nah. The whole thing about pre-barricades Javert is that he does not have any valid points to make. He has nothing resembling a point. He is “ignorant” and determined to stay that way because he literally believes that thinking is evil. He is a violent authoritarian whose worldview is just “mindless self-destructive bootlicking and bigotry.” I joked about it in a previous post but if we want a character who offers a genuinely meaningful counterpoint to Valjean’s philosophy, who could debate him on politics, and who could represent justice while Valjean represents mercy— that character is Enjolras, not Javert.
Valjean has a fascinating complicated relationship with law and politics and violence, but Javert is just a deeply pitiable brainwashed creature who martyrs himself for Wrong things.
Hugo pities Javert, but he does not treat Javert’s worldview --‘authority is always right, rigid social hierarchies must always be enforced, human life has no intrinsic value, the police must violently suppress any kind of crime or rebellion’— as something that deserves to be genuinely respected. It is not something that’s even worthy of debate. It is wrong, it is nonsense, it is an incoherent cruel self-contradicting ideology, and Javert only believes it because (to quote Hugo’s sarcastic narration) “thought was something to which he was unused.” (Or to be more charitable, Javert believes these terrible things because he was born inside a prison and has been brainwashed from birth into internalizing a cruel carceral view of the world.)
And I think Hugo generally does a good job of walking that tightrope — having pity for Javert without portraying Javert’s ideology as something worthy of genuine admiration. He sympathizes with how rigidly Javert holds himself to his own moral code, while condemning the moral code itself for being idiotic. He has empathy with Javert’s sincere self-destructive dedication to what he believes in, while pointing out the things he believes in are all stupid. He pities Javert’s martyrdom, while condemning the nonsense that Javert martyrs himself for.
One of my Top Ten Favorite Pathetic Javert Moments is this one, when Javert recognizes Marius’s body after the barricades:
A spy of the first quality, who had observed everything, listened to everything, and taken in everything, even when he thought that he was to die; who had played the spy even in his agony, and who, with his elbows leaning on the first step of the sepulchre, had taken notes.
Because Javert martyrs himself so earnestly for this terrible cause! He “takes notes” even when he believes he’s going to die and the notes cannot possibly be of any use to anyone, simply because taking notes is the thing he has been ordered to do. He’s so self-destructively dedicated to performing these useless pointless tasks because he believes there is real ~dignity~ to his mindless bootlicking— when there isn’t.
That’s why Javert’s emotional breakdown and suicide hit so hard for me, in a way that it wouldn’t if the narration was forgiving towards his stupid belief system. The contrast between Javert’s sheer pathetic terror and the often harsh/sarcastic narration is just….wild. It makes Javert sympathetic without making his awful ideology seem good, reasonable, or valuable. (And while this is only adjacent to the point I’m making- the harsh narration in Derailed also emphasizes the way Javert has been trained to view his own thoughts/emotions with contempt.) Javert is deeply pitiable/sympathetic without his ideology being framed as correct. And the whole tragedy of his character comes from the fact that he is utterly entirely wrong.
If I were to summarize the pathos of Javert, I wouldn’t say “he’s sympathetic because he’s a noble anti-hero with good strong morals who makes some valuable points about the importance of law” or w/e. I’d say that you can feel sorry for him because he’s a wretched brainwashed creature who’s never done anything right even though he wants to, and is deeply ridiculously pathetic without ever realizing it.
As Hugo puts it: “without himself suspecting the fact, Javert (…) was to be pitied.”
#send an ask if you want to know my other top ten favorite pathetic javert moments!#les mis#XD#it’s javert death day so I decided to make an overlong tumblr post for him#a very Vintage Mellow thing to do#but yeah#people always say I hate javert because I mock and drag him all the time#but like!!!#the reason javert is sympathetic is because Hugo’s always mocking and dragging him#I love it#that’s my take anyway#he’s just a horrible Creature#my complicated emotional relationship with javert#but yeee idk if this is coherent XD

Holmes College Adventures Masterpost Chapter 2: part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - part 4 - part 5 - part 6 - part 7 - part 8 AO3
you could make a career out of this
Pros of going to the country: - I can lie in the forest moss for hours - inner peace - inspiration for drawing them in the country Cons of going to the country: - having only my old broken tablet so drawing is painful (didn't stop me though)
#my art#sherlock holmes#victor trevor#acd holmes#sherlock holmes fanart#holmes collage adventures#the funny thing about drawing this fluff before i get to draw the real shit is#i KNOW it will only hurt more afterwards and i'm still doing this xD#(yeah holmes is trying out other hairstyles i wonder whose fault is that lmao)

aaaaand it's finally done :D. Coffee shop date.
Why use a chair when there's the better option?
#dreamling#yes. Dream is wearing Hob's sweater :))))#another lap sitting? like i said that's where Dream belongs and nobody can convince me otherwise. the concept lives rent-free in my head#they're both shameless and nothing can stop them from publicly displaying their affection for each other if they so desire#also Dream is a menace so that's that#silly rabbit au#i suppose (not sure where this came from anymore but I think I could blame magnusbae again x'D)#and yes this is the wip that i was sitting on for some time now and i had to stop myself from adding more details and say it's done#before i drive myself crazy xD. don't get me wrong i loved working on it - this is the treat myself drawing. but i really need to move on#because there's too many other things that i want to do and so little time!#and maaaybe just maybe I'm doing a lap sitting collection - or at least that's how it looks like considering recent posts and my other wips#dream of the endless#hob gadling#sandman#mayhem art
