Prompt Response: This one really caught my eye. Played with the suggested dynamics a bit, and had some fun writing naughty things.

CW: abduction, kidnapping, non-con, dubcon, explicit nsfw, nonhuman x human

WC: ~ 2250

The last thing Cyrus could remember was waking up in the dead of night, his bedroom buzzing with the static hum of electricity, and a blinding light that poured through drawn curtains. 

Now he felt cold steel beneath his back, his heart thundering in his chest, and his skull splitting with pain. His first instinct was to try and sit up, but he found himself all but frozen in place. Another panicked jerk of his limbs revealed that Cyrus was pinned to the table by thick straps across his chest, wrists, and legs. A bright white bulb overhead made it almost impossible to see the room around him, even as he tried to lift his head off the table. 

Cyrus couldn’t help but begin to panic. Not only was he in an unfamiliar place, and not only was he stripped naked and restrained to a table, but he couldn’t even begin to piece together what had happened to him. Nausea began to encroach on his bundle of fear in his gut. 

Maybe I’m dreaming, he thought to himself as a rush of adrenaline began to warm his shivering body, maybe this is just a nightmare. 

A pneumatic door whined softly as it opened nearby, and the sound was far too real for Cyrus to fully believe he was dreaming. And when the grotesque, four-armed biped wandered over to where Cyrus was bound, the raw scream that tore from his throat was enough to confirm that he was awake after all.

“No need for such awful sounds,” the creature said in crisp, bellowing English. It leaned over Cyrus and momentarily blocked out the light that had made it so impossible to see. Cyrus wished he had been granted the continued ignorance of blindness.

Whimpers bubbled up from Cyrus’s chest as he renewed his struggle against the restraints, desperately willing distance between himself and the alien. It was almost three times as large as a full-grown human man, its tan skin was covered in a thick coat of blonde fur, and its wholly-black eyes sat deep in an oblong skull. Each of its four arms ended in a hand with hairless palms, and each hand had six three-knuckled fingers. There was little doubt that it could grasp and manipulate its prey with much more dexterity than any human could ever dream of. 

“"P-Please,” Cyrus choked on his words. “I- I’m- please j-just let me go," he rasped. There was nothing else he could think to say as he began to plead for his life. The operating table he had been laid on told him all he needed to know. He was certain of wait awaited him: unspeakable pain, agony drawn out for however long the alien pleased, followed death. Chills ran up his spine with the certainty of his demise, the unbridled fear that came with looking at his captor and soon-to-be-killer. 

Much to his surprise, the alien lifted one of its hands and laid it across Cyrus’s naked torso. The appendage was so large it effortlessly covered Cyrus’s entire stomach and chest. Also to his surprise was how warm the touch was, and how soft those skin-covered palms were against his own goose-puckered flesh. The alien let out a gentle, room-rumbling growl. 

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to hurt you.” 

If Cyrus was supposed to find reassurance in the booming voice, a gravelly sound that came from a heavily fanged mouth, he came up short. Fear still coursed through his blood with the ceaseless sensation of abject terror. 

“If you’re not going to hurt me-” Cyrus stopped to swallow, letting his head rest back against the table before he passed out “-then what are you going to do? P-please, I’m, I just, please…” He hated how pitiful he sounded, and he hated how little he could interpret from such a foreign facial expression. 

“I just want to get to know you a little better, to understand your strange beauty,” the creature thundered. 

And without another word, the alien moved another hand to cover Cyrus, this one gently wrapping around a restrained thigh. Yet another whimper freed itself from Cyrus’s mouth, as much from fear as from surprise. He hadn’t imagined that the touch could feel so good, so welcome, especially when compared to the waves of fear and the cold metal against his back. 

The hand on his stomach began to push down gently, depressing into the soft abdominal cavity, and then retreating with a soft hum of curiosity. There was no doubt the creature was being gentle as it pressed down again, this time stroking at Cyrus’s skin with two slender digits. This touch was electrifying, but not at all unpleasant. It was pure instinct that made Cyrus cry out. 

At this cry, the alien stopped. It tilted its head to the side, almost like a dog, and took two slow blinks. 

“Did that hurt, human?” 

What use would it be in lying to an entity that could very well be capable of reading his mind? 

“N-no,” Cyrus stuttered, and let a quick breath out of his nose. 

“Very well,” the alien said, and it began that same motion again. A wave of soft pressure across Cyrus’s abdomen, made at almost the same pressure of a friend’s embrace, a rolling motion with the palm and digits wrapping tenderly across his side and grazing against his ribs. 

Cyrus felt tears prick in his eyes, but this time, the alien showed no intent of stopping. A single-handed embrace, and then a release. A careful, teasing stroke of fingers across bare skin. The cycle repeated until Cyrus lost count, and eventually, he found himself relaxed back into the table. It wasn’t comfortable, not in the slightest, but the pain he had been waiting for never came. The repetitive action was almost pleasant, if he could possibly isolate the sensation away from his current situation, but it had soothed him. 

The alien seemed to sense this change in his demeanor, for the hand that had previously been idle on Cyrus’s thigh moved upwards. Now one of the massive digits rested against the crook of Cyrus’s hip and thigh, that sensitive skin causing Cyrus to shiver at the contact. If he didn’t know better, he would have thought the creature was pleased at this reaction, because it did so again. Slow, intentional strokes, each one sending a jolt of warmth to his core. 

A tear leaked from Cyrus’s eye and left a warm streak down his cheek. He couldn’t have even said why. 

“What’s wrong?” The alien asked this with that same booming monotone as before, but Cyrus wished he could have imagined some sympathy buried in there. Was such a monstrosity even capable of feeling sympathy? 

“I- I want to go home,” he begged. He had always hated to beg, but there was nothing else he could think to do now. He did want to go home. He had wanted nothing so bad in his whole life. 

“I will return you to your habitat at the end of our time together,” the creature said, its motions on Cyrus’s hips still sure. “We are ethical in our studies. It would cause too much disruption to your planet if we captured, but did not release, our subjects.” 

“Studies?” The question came from his lips as Cyrus realized his worst fears were confirmed - he had been abducted as an experiment after all. 

“Most of my kind don’t bother with humans,” the alien said. “They believe them too simple to be worth our precious time. The language is simple, the thoughts are simple, the technology is simple. But my peers have overlooked just how fascinating your weak bodies are, and the many interesting habits you engage in when copulating. I have come to your solar system so I may learn as much as I can about the biological reactions of your intricate rituals. Humans like yourself are simply so fascinating, so… beautiful.” 

“Is that why-” Cyrus bit his tongue before he finished the rest of the question. He understood now why those fingers had begun to apply gentle pressure on his inner thighs, drifting intentionally from his hips, to his thighs, and back again. 

“These experiments go much more smoothly when the human is relaxed,” the voice said. It seemed slightly softer now. “So, as you would say with another of your own kind, please relax.” 

If only it were that easy, Cyrus thought bitterly. Now that he knew where this was going - now that he knew what this creature wanted from him - there was a new layer of fear and humiliation that radiated across his skin. But maybe this alien wasn’t lying to him. Maybe if he just complied, relaxed, and gave into that unspeakably pleasant touch, then maybe he would get to go home after all. 

So he closed his eyes, and instead focused on the strange but electrifying patterns the fingers were tracing on his body. Arousal followed quickly afterward, that warm sensation pooled in his stomach slowly shifting lower, down to between his legs. Cyrus felt himself harden, and a flutter rose in his chest as the alien purred. 

Those fingers moved from his thighs to his cock, each digit sure in its touch. It was warm, so very warm, and Cyrus couldn’t help but buck his hips forward. They hardly moved from the table where he was bound, but the desire made his back arch with need. That rumbling purr came from the creature at the tableside echoed through Cyrus’s bones again. He shivered in delight. 

A few masterful strokes along his length had Cyrus quivering. He’d never been so enveloped in ecstasy before, with pleasure radiating from his cock to the warm touch across his chest and collarbones. When the strange hand withdrew, he couldn’t help but whine at the loss. 

“Would you prefer if you could move freely?” The alien asked, with something that almost resembled a human smile on its lips. 

After biting down on his tongue, guilt pulsing at his own enjoyment, Cyrus nodded. 

Carefully, slowly, the creature undid the steadfast bindings that had secured Cyrus to the table. And as soon as he could draw a full breath he sat up, head spinning from the sudden change in posture as much as the pleasure he wanted to feel again. 

“I’m going to hold you, now,” the creature said. Before Cyrus had any chance to protest he was swept up in the strong arms, his back against its chest, two arms securing him. The alien had sat on the same table that Cyrus had just been laid on, and it was so large that this table was an effortless seat for them. 

Now Cyrus found himself cradled in warm fur, the embrace as comforting as it was secure, and his legs were draped across the creature’s thighs. His cock was still hard even after the unexpected change in orientation. And somehow, this position felt even more exposed than being laid out on the table. 

“Take deep breaths,” the creature instructed as it moved one of its free hands back to Cyrus’s sex. The stroking returned, more vigorous this time, the drips of precum staining his skin. And Cyrus tried to take a deep breath as he was instructed, but his chest shook as the pleasure jolted like electricity up his spine. He couldn’t ever remember feeling such a deep need before, a yearning for more, the sheer desperation for release. 

His body sunk back against the alien’s chest as he whined softly. This sound earned him an almost instant reward, a finger running over the head of Cyrus’s cock and across his sensitive slit. Another moan, more guttural, as he pushed himself deep into the creature’s hand. It held him tighter, ensuring that he was stable where he was straddled, and continued its repetitive motions. 

Cyrus couldn’t contain himself any longer. He screamed in pleasure as he came, spilling himself onto strange skin and fur, twitching in the now-familiar grip. The stroking continued until he ran dry, his thighs shaking, body heaving as he gasped. 

As though it had not been intimate enough, as the creature withdrew its hand from Cyrus’s cum-soaked nethers, it took its other hand and ran it through Cyrus’s hair. 

“You did well, human.” 

The praise made Cyrus close his eyes, and the strangeness and residual fear all but melted away. What must have been minutes ago, he had been frightened for his life. But now, with a tremor in his body from euphoria, he had no desire to be anywhere else. 

“Th-thank you,” he eventually managed after gulping for air. It only seemed right to thank his captor, after all it had done. While Cyrus wanted to believe he was thanking it just for not hurting him, deep in Cyrus’s stomach, he knew the graciousness carried something more. 

“You have provided my study with very valuable data,” the creature said as it continued to gently stroke Cyrus’s head. “You are a most cooperative and intriguing subject. I promised I would return you to your habitat, and I intend to keep that promise. However, you are too interesting for just one experiment. You will stay here with me, and I will continue to study the physical reactions to your human rituals, and all of the… pleasant… sounds that you make. But first, you will rest.” 

Cyrus would have answered, but he was already drifting off in the impossibly comforting tangle of arms and fur. 

Short Prompt #978

CW: dub-con touching, suggestive themes, kidnapping, restraints.

"P-Please, stop. J-Just let me go," the human croaked, terrified as their captor sauntered closer. They struggled in their restraints with a whimper, trying to escape what they assumed to be an operating table.

The alien loomed over them with a curious rumble and laid a massive hand over Human's stomach, making them freeze up. Alien's palm easily covered the human's entire abdomen as they softly kneaded their soft flesh. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you~."

Human was startled by the plain English; they didn't think the alien could actually understand or speak with them. Though still worried, the purr in the creature's voice definitely had them feeling something. The oddly pleasant touching certainly wasn't making it any easier. "W-What will you do then?"

Another big hand met Human's body, resting upon their thigh and bringing heat to their face as Alien leaned in closer. "I just want to get to know you~."

Maybe I have a gleam in my eye as I realize I didn't use the tag with the hyphen so I only saw five people talk about Zero One for the past few months, meaning there's a whole other world I haven't seen and the journey's not over just yet

[0ddbugs]

Just dropping my opinion, but I would prefer a fan video that’s edited smooth and well thought out that’s a short version of a song than the full song with a bunch of unfitting clips. I wouldn’t scrap it yet if I were you. See what happens if you remove some parts of the song. You might still have something!

Ah thank you! I’m going to aim for about 50 seconds or so, but, we’ll see what happens!

And this is why i’m one day late...

For the @johndaveweek xD

REBLOG the damn content people!! it’s not hard and it won’t ruin ur blog aesthetic. and the more people don’t reblog, the less motivation people have to edit, the less content your gonna get and then I see people complaining about drivers’ tags having no content like???? and we’re trending like every other day so it’s not even like there aren’t any people here gahhh

Good Things in 2019

@theputterer and @the-strongest-stars tagged me in the awesome annual end-of-year Good Things meme! I’ve done this in 2018 & 2017 and always think it’s a fun exercise of both reflection and looking forward.

Oh boy, though, my first thought was, what even happened in 2019? (Looking at a calendar helped! It reminded me of a few things I forgot)

It’s been a Rough Year, friends. Between OCD and basically travelling almost every weekend in the latter half of 2019, I am very much ready for a new year and hopefully a new slate.

But this is about the positives!

Personal

Played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons! I am now officially in two campaigns. This year, I endeavored to recruit more women to play, including the wonderful @allatariel. I play both my beloved cleric, Maritsa (who I’ve been playing her years now) and my new character, Noara, a ranger elf with a red panda familiar (yeah, my DM let me do that for funsies, so I could get an animal sidekick but also still try out the Horizon Walker subclass). 

Speaking of red pandas, I accomplished my LIFE GOAL of meeting a red panda face-to-face. I got to feed Harriet at the Cincinnati Zoo for 30 minutes. She was adorable. 

Completed all my dental work and had a clean bill of dental health two cleanings in a row! 

Attended DC’s Around the World Embassy Day event, always fun

Attended Star Wars night at a local library, where I got to participate in a short demo/lesson on how to fence with a lightsaber!

Attended 50th Anniversary Celebration of Apollo 11 / landing on the moon (dude they projected the rocket on the Washington Monument and it looked so cool)

Returned to the NY Ren Faire and upgraded my ren faire garb

Celebrated at THREE friends’ weddings and got to catch up with old friends I hadn’t seen in awhile

Ate ice cream at the Ben & Jerry’s Factory in Vermont

Went to NYCC for the third year in a row. Got to wear 2 costumes this year: a 1920s flapper interpretation of an occamy and my Endor!Leia costume (repeat of 2017). Learned the True Pain of sewing. Created feather shawl for my occamy costume. Learned the True Pain of crafting.

Celebrated one year anniversary with hubbie down where we got married: visited the museum we got married in and actually got a chance to enjoy the exhibits, went to our favorite brunch place down there, got to check out Fleet Week and tour an aircraft carrier and uh... I think it was a missile cruiser? 

Went up to PSU for a women’s hockey game for sister’s birthday (made embarrassing HAPPY BIRTHDAY sign for the cameras); also it was an absolutely wonderful fall drive on the way up there

Got to see The Rise of Skywalker in IMAX at the Smithsonian Air & Space Center with the awesome @allatariel! (thank goodness we had each other to get through that movie lol) also got to reuse my Endor!Leia costume. I did my own braids for the first time ever! (usually my talented sister does them) They looked like braids done by a n00b, but I didn’t care because they were passable and I did them myself and that was a Big Thing for Perfectionist Me (to not just... say screw it and undo it and just. give up. but to just let them be as is)

Worked hard at therapy and self care

Got a Sleep Number bed and holy shit let me tell you. i can actually sleep now.

OH! I almost forgot!!! Started playing Assassin’s Creed! I’ve only ever really played the LEGO Star Wars and Harry Potter video games so like. This was big for me. 

Writing

Finally finished Learning Curve. TBH I was a bit shocked that this was in fact the only fic I published in 2019. What a travesty.

However! I have been writing

@allatariel & I sat down, overanalyzed You’ve Got Mail, and drafted up the outline for my in-universe AU, something I’ve been dreaming of starting for years. Have about 4300 words so far.

Just under the wire, I did manage to start my NatGeo AU, which I’ve been dreaming of since my honeymoon in Nov 2018

Started editing/revising my original young adult fantasy novel

Poked a little at my epic fantasy pirate travel novel idea

Books

I read exactly one book, Among the Red Stars, which I enjoyed. It’s about women fighter pilots in Russia in WW2. Inspired by real people.

Music

Saw Panic at the Disco! in concert. I went along with my sister. Not like a huge fan, but they put on a pretty fun show!

Saw Waitress on Broadway!! OH MY GOD. And Sara Bareilles was starring in it. Amazing. I freaking love her music (”How does she know / what a heart sounds like?” gahhh). She was so good, and the show was so good. I literally cried all the way through it just because I was so happy to be there, but also because of the content. Man.

Saw Sara Bareilles again, in concert, in Philly. I love her so much.

Television

Finished Critical Role Campaign 1! Oh man, what a ride. Gosh, I love that show. I really need to catch up in C2 now. I’ve started it but I’m only on episode 26 or 27.

I’m not sure whether I finished The Clone Wars in 2018 or 2019. I think it was early 2019. This show was amazing and this was the character development that Anakin Skywalker needed. I love Ahsoka Tano. I cannot wait for the last season.  

Finished Rebels!!! AGAIN, what a ride!!! I still love Ahsoka Tano. I also love Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren. Sabine’s Darksaber arc was fantastic.

The Mandalorian OMG BABY YODA!!! Yes, I have succumbed to the adorableness of Baby Yoda. Most adorable SW character forever. But also just an enjoyable story in general. This, this is how you craft a story. still NOT over the darksaber omg. 

The Good Place is continuing to be good. Not as crazy about season 4, but I’m so glad they decided to limit the seasons.

Got my sister to watch Rebels!! And then even a few episodes of The Clone Wars!!! Mwahaha >) 

Finally got around to watching The Great British Bake Off, what a sweet show!

OMG I ALMOST FORGOT Anne With an E!!! Gosh what a wonderful wholesome delightful show. No I haven’t watched S3 yet because I am Lawful Good to a fault and just patiently waiting for it to come on Netflix

Film

So, I woefully neglected to mention The Aeronauts in this post about my favorite movies in the 2010s and that was a Mistake. Because I really enjoyed this one

But otherwise probably check out that list. Because I don’t go to the movies that often, actually, and anything I really loved from 2019 is most definitely listed there.

Did I meet my 2019 Goals?

Writing: Fandom

Finish Learning Curve YES

...and How to Lose a Spy in 10 Days Uh, no, not so much

Begin and complete the in-canon universe You’ve Got Mail AU YES, it is begun but no it is not complete

Try to knock out a few other projects on my 30+ SW ideas Umm, I did start / poke at a few things in addition to the YGM and NatGeo AUs, but nothing really “knocked out”

Try my hand at creating more visual fan works (like moodboards/photosets, step 1, learn proper terminology) ahahahah, no. 

Writing: Original

Query more agents for my completed original novel YIKES, No. But I wasn’t anticipating that I’d decide to heavily edit/revise my manuscript.

Actually get around to deciding which idea I want to work on next and work on it Yeah, sure, I decided. How nice of past!Liz to make this goal so reachable as “deciding” lol

Reading

Be more supportive in helping my friend run Book Club so that it can actually meet more regularly HA, oops. Book Club died, but kind of in favor of being able to start a second D&D campaign. At least that’s the trade off I’m looking at. I had some OCD-related glasses issues this year that inhibited reading a lot.

Try to read at least one book for myself outside of Book Club lol WELL the one book I read this year was not part of Book Club sooo

Goals for 2020

Writing

I’m not going to make this a completion goal, but instead...

...I’d like to just focus on creating a regular writing schedule/habit. Whatever the project, I just want to make sure I carve out significant time each week just to write. I don’t want to set a specific goal like “x hours a week” for now, but I want to make sure that I am writing each week.

To achieve that (because what are goals without maps):

If the words don’t immediately jump onto the page, then I’m going to try outlining or summarizing. I’m going to let go of overthinking how sentences are phrased, and just pretend I’m describing the story idea to a friend.

That blank page is staring at me and I’m just going to fill it with words no matter what I might think of them!

And I’m going to let everything else expand from there. And see how that works.

Edit my original manuscript

Query more agents re: original manuscript

Look into the idea of perhaps forming or joining a writer’s group for original writing oh gosh that is so scary

Other

Get back into reading

Develop a routine for working out

Eat healthier

Continue focusing on therapy goals

Get around to watching: Black Sails, Mad Max: Fury Road, Arrival

Get better at responding to things in general
