PAC: “one hit of your love addicted me. now i’m strung out on you, darlin’, can’t you see?” 🕊️🕰️✨📨

• what will your first love be like?

disclaimer ✩: take what resonates, leave what doesn't. i wanted to try something new by including edits but ofc tumblr is annoying and doesn’t let you post more than 1 video ugh. hope you all enjoy this though! love you much.

PILE ONE.

hey pile 1 🎀 right off the bat i gotta say…your person could possibly give anakin skywalker vibes visually lolololol very tall, handsome and broody. i'm also thinking of jon snow from ‘game of thrones’ hmmm i think this just ties into the fact that your person is in their bag a good 85% of the time! they analyze and process their thoughts & emotions a lot, and this won’t change especially when it comes to their love and devotion for you. they are very intense and purposeful when it comes to love — there’s no faking it or forcing it. they say what they mean, and mean what they say. they hold themselves to a very high standard so i think they’ll be in their head a lot when it comes down to approaching you/courting you. they want to make sure that they’re doing and saying the right things…they want to make sure that you’re comfortable. they will prioritize you and take the time out to really get to know you! they don’t want to do the whole cliché “wyd” texts or just take you out to the movies. no, they want to be able to take you to places you’ve never been before & treat you to beautiful experiences that will stay with you forever. that’s how highly they think of you, pile 1! they think you deserve the best of the best and they will do everything in their power to give you just that. this person has been through a lot in their life and they’ve felt so alone and misunderstood. 9x out of 10 if they just got out of a relationship, their ex didn’t understand them or couldn’t match them emotionally. your person is big on “everything happens for a reason” so when you come into their life they’re going to feel so much joy and relief, it’s like you’re their saving grace. it’s that energy of — where have you been all my life? that scene of anakin and padmé in ‘star wars: attack of the clones’ on the balcony is coming to mind…the longing in their eyes before they share their first kiss. a lot of people may talk about y'alls relationship/how y'all got together. it's nothing scandalous…i just see people being infatuated? i’m picking up a lot of outside influences/opinions so just be careful of that…don't have too many people in your business cause i’m picking up that some of these people don’t have the best intentions and are secretly jealous. it’s giving very much “fan behavior” hm they might keep tabs or ask lots of questions about you and your person’s relationship…it’s weird. i think for some of you, you’ve been single for a long time, so it’s going to be a shock to a lot of people when you pop out with this person. once your person comes into your life you may start to notice multiple people show romantic interest in you and you’ll be like??? where tf were y’all at when i was single for ____ years?! LMFAOOOOO that’s hilarious but back to your first love, it’ll be beautifully intense. i see you giggling a lot, staring at your person with big starry eyes and a lot of physical touch between you two. it may not even be in a flashy way? i can just see you coming up behind them and placing a hand on their back to make your presence known…i see a lot of moments of them holding you in their arms and resting their forehead against yours — they’re looking at you with so much intensity…deep concentration and passion etched across their face and you just break out into this bright smile and they just melt. you look so innocent compared to them like there’s this light in your eyes that’s left their own a long time ago, but they feel so safe…so free to be themselves when they’re with you. you’re their heart, pile 1. i’m hearing that scene from ‘the bear’ when carmy tells sydney “i couldn’t do it without you. i wouldn’t even want to do it without you…” AWWWWEEEEEE.

PILE TWO.

heyyy pile 2! you will NOT expect to fall in love with this person wow, your feelings for them will actually catch you off guard. this person is not your usual type and that's what's so intriguing about them…you’ll never know what to expect with them; they’ll keep you on your toes. i think that you keep repeating cycles or keep going back to someone who is no good for you, but once you meet this person there’s no going back. you’ll gravitate towards them like a month drawn to a flame lol you can’t fight these feelings even if you wanted to. you might meet this person through a mutual friend or meet them in a group setting, i see other people around you both as you talk and get to know each other. there’s so much warmth that this person radiates…they feel like home to you. a hug from them could fix your bad day, a kiss from them could make your heart skip a beat 🥹 and their smile?! to see them smile at you will give you an instant serotonin boost. this relationship feels divine…it feels fated. it’s giving “right person at the right time” like everything leading up to this connection will make so much sense once you’re actually together. some of you that chose this pile are quick to self-sabotage or cut off a relationship before you can get too emotionally invested. you’ve built these walls up because you’ve been through a lot of shit and you don’t want the extra baggage a relationship can sometimes bring, but it’s gonna be different with this person. you’re going to be so open to receiving their love and reciprocating it, there’s going to be such a healthy balance between you two. i’m hearing that this person is going to be a wish fulfillment, pile 2. this might be a long distance relationship at first — you might have to travel to see each other or you both will like to travel to different places together. they will value you so much! they will wine and dine you, surprise you with your favorite things and make sure you always have whatever your heart desires. they love you and they will have no problem showing that.

PILE THREE.

pile 333 🦢 whoa i'm already picking up that this is a love that only grows stronger and better with time; it ages like fine wine. WOW WOW WOW. i'm ngl i feel like this person is your divine counterpart…when i say you two are a match made in heaven — i mean it. you complete each other in ways that other people will never truly understand. there’s this unspoken love and desire between you two initially; i see you both stealing a lot of glances at each other, waiting for the other to cave in and say something…anything. you both want to close that space between you but don’t know exactly how to. i don’t think either of you has ever felt this way before about anybody 😮‍💨 this love is strong AF. it’s never a dull moment between you two, there’s always that underlying passion and spark ready to consume you both. i’m picking up that either your ex or their ex is going to be very envious of this relationship. they almost feel blindsided in a sense…they thought you were going to come back to them and give them another chance, so it's going to make them feel some type of way when they see that you’ve moved on. please be cautious of this ex pile 3…they don’t have good intentions at all and i pick up an obsessive vibe from them. we are blocking that all the way out 🧿 anyways! your person’s love language is more than likely quality time…they loveeeeeee spending time with you and stepping out of their comfort zone to try things that you like. there’s a solid friendship at the root of this connection pile 3…like not only is this person your lover, but they’re also your best friend wrapped into one. you will give them the key to your heart and vice versa. any other options or third party situations will be cut off/left behind because all you both can see is each other! nothing and no one can tear this relationship down because it’s built on such a strong foundation, you can see yourself with this person years down the line from now and they feel the exact same way. you’re home to them. i know this is your first love pile 3 but i wouldn’t be surprised if they popped the question 💍 — i'm just sayinnnnnnnnnn!

[safetycar-restart]

I feel like I request too much (lolololol) but how do you think little!lando would react to the cold ?? I just wanna see him snuggled up in bed maybe holding onto his favourite little plushie (because god forbid it gets cold) 🫠🫠. And usually he’s bratty, but when snow layers on thick outside, he can’t help but snuggle into his warm bed.

Ok firstly anon, you could never send too many asks! That is simply not an option! I absolutely love getting asks, especially if I can tell a lot of them are the same person who are just really excited about something. Anyway, let's discuss!

So usually, I think Lando is quite a loud little? He's always babbling and chatting and asking for things and whining about other things, he really just never stops making noice. He's only quiet for one of two reasons: he's sleepy or he's upset about something.

Because of this, you know that the moment he's not being loud, you need to go check up on him and see what he needs.

In winter, he will get quiet when he's cold. And his immediate response to being cold isnt to try and find a blankie or some warm clothes, but instead to attempt to merge his body with yours because you're warm and so you must help. He'll cling to you like a little monkey, whining against your neck and refusing to move.

The only way to get him to let go of you is to offer to tuck him into bed, then he's immediately jumping off you and running to bed because yes!! He LOVES being tucked in and made to be all snuggly.

Tucking him into bed is a whole procedure. First, he must choose which stuffy/s he wants to take to bed with him. It's his favourite part of the whole process! Often he'll come back with three or four stuffies, a hug smile on his face cause he's gonna get tucked in!

You open the duvet for him and let him climb in, handing him each of his stuffies so he can place them in their rightful places in the bed and then tuck him in. You also have to give him a forehead kiss.

Then you'll have a very happy little, cuddling up in bed with his stuffies and taking a nice warm nap.

[bisharp-that-likes-chips]

The main group reacting to the person being 5'1 in height, please?

Okie

Hank:

He thinks you’re adorable

He likes to pick you up and carry you around everywhere.

If anyone makes fun of your height, they’ll be sorry for even attempting.

He makes sure not to crush you when hugging you, the most dangerous man in Nevada has his gentle side you know?

Sanford:

Bro’s heart is melting faster than the ice caps (I’m sorry)

Likes carrying you around and holds you like a plushie

He’ll give anyone the death stare if they insult your height

Nah fr if anyone gets cursed by the stare of Sanford then they might as well write their last will and testament

Deimos:

Teases you from time to time (that usually ends in you giving him the slap of god)

He just does that cuz finally he’s no longer the shortest member in the group, meaning his ego has risen from 90-100

Cocky Deimos aside, he does think you’re precious and cuddles you whenever he feels kinda down

If anyone makes fun of you for ur height, he challenges them to a roast battle. Sometimes he wins, but other times, he legit gets owned so bad that u have to come in and kick the other guy’s ass and comfort him (he acts like he’s cool as a cucumber but he does need it and really enjoys being comforted after getting burnt)

2BDamned:

Kinda scared of you because you’re so tiny that you can sneak up on anyone and scare them so much they see heaven or hell

Other than that he does enjoy your presence, especially if you’re clinging on to him while he’s working. It makes him feel relaxed and warm whenever you’re there just being an affectionate lil bean

Dude gets passive aggressive whenever someone makes fun of your height. Like: dumbass: lMaO sO sHoRt Ur LiKe An AnT lolololol 😂😂😂😂😂 2B: you say that shit again and I’ll throw you into a white van with a free Candy sign on it with your fucking face tied up, so don’t make fun of my love okay good sir 😇?

Also holds you while sleeping

Hell yea new request finished after so long. I’ll work on others asap

[sauron-kraut]

For the OTP questions!

Angbang: 6, 20, 31

Mairazôn: 49, 59, 75

Thank you🖤

Anbang:

Who holds a grudge the longest?

Hard one. That would be Mairon, I guess. In my hc Melkor has a stoic, somewhat divinely detached personality, which almost makes holding a grudge too earthly, too human, too insignificant for him. His wrath, on the other hand, can be terrible. I admit, I had to think about this one though.

Who's more likely to get into a bar fight?

YEAH I SEE WHAT YOU DID HERE BESTIE lmao

To answer the question: Mairon, and in a vastly different way than portrayed in that Amazon show lolololol. Imagine pretty Mairon just punching someone in the face with all his rings, then leaving doing his sassy walk, setting the bar behind him on fire with a flick of his hand.

Who insists they're the best at everything and who lets them believe it?

Woaaaaah ok so I believe they both genuinely believe the other is the best at everything (especially when it's things one of them is not too fond of doing), so letting each other believe this is just honest appreciation here.

Mairazôn:

Who's the most concerned about details and semantics and who doesn't care at all?

Mairon is the most concerned with these. Ar-Pharazôn is good at rhetorics but Mairon (as we know) is better. Also, he will bite his own tongue on a regular basis lest he correct AP even in Adûnaic. He's super judgy but will not let him know and flatters him instead.

Who's the most stubborn?

They're both. However, Mairon seduces his way around AP's stubbornness and he himself will yield most of the time to keep AP satisfied.

Whose I-Hate-Everything-And-Everyone teenage phase was the most intense/lasted the longest?

Since I don't think Mairon has had anything truly similar to this experience in incarnates I have to say AP here. :D

[my-castles-crumbling]

Hi! I'm a huge fan of yours honestly you're like a celebrity to me and I'm really nervous asking about this because Ive asked everyone else and they've all given me the same answer but you're really nice and I hope you can give me the honest truth.

I'm feeling really really guilty because I cheated on an exam earlier. I usually don't do that but I panicked and I literally can't fail because I'd be so disappointed with myself and I'm starting to suspect some sort of anxiety but I don't self diagnose lmao. It wasnt a huge exam, it was more like a test like a knowledge recall and it doesn't do anything to my final grade but I'm so stressed and I can't think about anything else.

I don't know what to do 😭

Don't worry if you can't reply I'll just get over it if lolololol.

Thanks! - MJ 🫀

Hi MJ! No need to be nervous I’m literally the opposite of scary lol.

Okay so..I mean yeah, in an ideal world, you should probably tell your teacher, right? Certainly, if you think there’s any way they could find out, it’s much better to be mature and own up to it than to have them come to you. I would say that the majority of teachers would respect you for being responsible enough to recognize your mistake.

But..I also worry about those teachers who might turn this into A Thing unnecessarily. Especially since it’s really NOT a huge thing.

Honestly, if it was me? It’s not a big test. You recognize your mistake. You feel guilty and it seems like that’s consequence enough. Make sure to learn the content you didn’t know, promise yourself you’re not going to do it again. Part of still being in school is being able to make mistakes without life-changing consequences. Remember that making this mistake doesn’t make you a bad person, and you’re literally in school to learn- in all ways! Learn from this, and you’ll be okay ❤️. You seem like a genuinely good person with a great sense of right and wrong. This one decision doesn’t change that- you’re still a good person ❤️

P.s. for everyone else reading- obviously…you shouldn’t cheat. But like….being being gentle with yourself and recognizing the entire situation is also important in my opinion 😅

[differenteagletragedy]

HI HELLO any thoughts on Hugo and Leland from you-know-where (i may have a type)

As Hugo would say, "OHOHOHOHO"

I love Hugo, but Leland is everything to me. I am as crazy about him as I was about Baxter when I first played Our Life, he is my sun and moon and stars. I will stop gushing but just know that I could go on forever.

Spoilers for the game in case anyone reading hasn't played it!

-- When Leland said he'd never been kissed, he was not lying. So when you finally meet him in person after the study is over, he is NERVOUS. Hands sweaty and fidgeting, he stutters, it's a mess but it's a very cute mess!

-- He did very politely suggest that you don't kiss until you're alone, and when you do, he freezes. That boy does not know what to do on so many levels. Please take the lead.

-- Massive cuddler. But he's an active cuddler too, so if you're doing it while he's awake he'll be playing with your hair, rubbing your back, not trying to be sexual, just trying to be close. The first time you let him be the little spoon he WILL cry.

-- Definitely cries sometimes after sex too. It's just that he's so HAPPY and he never ever thought he would be, and definitely not like this, with another person.

-- I've been trying to figure out the rest of his whole life lol, I think he either gets a job at Ansel's place or something like that, something where he can move up and make a good career out of it but not necessarily something he's super excited about so he can save that kind of passion for other activities, or he does that for a little bit and eventually goes to school to be like a guidance counselor. Even if he doesn't go back to school, I think he would find happiness in helping kids, because no one helped him when he needed it.

-- Keeps the piercings and black fingernails though (and stays a gamer/anime nerd obviously!). He might get a tattoo or two, nothing major. He's a piercing boy! Eventually he does cut his hair (I think the way it is now is the result of a kind of alternative style and him just not really caring) and it looks very nice! Will blush if you tell him it looks very nice.

-- Keeping the gang together after the study is important to him. It's important to everybody, but he puts in a lot of effort to keep everyone close, and he reaches out frequently to check in on everyone. He's very perceptive and can tell if someone is acting off and is extra sensitive if he thinks anyone might be slipping back into that lonely feeling. He puts sooo much effort into this, but if anyone thanks him for it or brings it up directly he'll just hit them with a "lolololol."

-- Ok sorry lol HUGO. He moves in with you after the study is over, and spoiler alert, he's never moving out. He'd definitely offer when he gets back on his feet, but he's just so much fun to have around, why would you want him to leave?

-- The silliest boy. Just the absolute silliest. Will do anything for a laugh, almost literally. Especially if you're sad and he's trying to cheer you up.

-- He said that he's shy in person and he is! When you first meet it takes him a little bit to adjust, but before long he's his loud, silly self. You're going to have to watch him though, because at first he's going to sort of feel like he needs to earn his keep with you, be entertaining and sexy enough to pay you back for letting him stay with you. Please nip that in the bud and let him know that he can just be himself.

-- So eventually you're left with a slightly milder version of the guy you met that first day in the study. He's still forward and friendly and flirty, but he's more relaxed about it. He's not trying so hard to be the life of the party, he just naturally is.

-- Hugo and Leland are besties FOR LIFE. Everyone stays friends, but those guys are so tight. If you get married to one of them, the other will be best man.

[bvckbiter]

Psst psst psst favourite thing to explore in smartwatermagic dynamic?

hm... i think the main thing about this ship that compels me is how each of them deal with their guilt and trauma- it's basically my #1 question to answer when thinking about how they perceive and interact with each other, and from that comes a lot of parallels but also areas where they basically fulfill each other's lack/need.

i think annabeth in particular is a very good example of this; it's well-established in canon that she's faced a lifetime of her most beloved people letting her down (frederick and luke), abandoning her (athena), or ultimately turning her away for something they think is for the better (thalia). this is why she's very territorial of the people she considers as hers, as per chiron, and percy slots in very nicely into that gap with his (purported) flaw of personal loyalty. percy i think with his very human upbringing is a cornerstone for annabeth continuing to believe in family and love.

so you have percy kind of being there to pick annabeth up after the Luke Betrayal (yes, luke is an inextricable pivoting point in this relationship). alabaster as the only remaining living demigod still loyal to the TA's cause throws an interesting wrench in the percabeth dynamic, because if you hc that alabaster was in camp for a reasonably long time and was at some point acquainted/friends with annabeth, then you can have this shred of annabeth's pre-Luke Betrayal past coming back to haunt her, and her having to decide if alabaster's still worth clinging onto. i can imagine annabeth being unable to help herself and getting drawn to al one way or the other, especially with her mindset that her perfect world/life is hers to make. plus also in general the two of them getting more closure about Why Luke Was Like That lmao

percy on the other hand is Fighting His Own Demons because plainly put, i think he's the type of person that tries to ignore problems for as long as he can, especially if he knows that he's the root of the problem (see: Rachel Elizabeth Dare). not out of cowardice, but more of a "this (referring to himself) should not even be a matter thats wasted time on, it (referring to himself) should fix itself." so where he might be anxious over annabaster is also complicated by thoughts of "do i have the right to feel this way, i should try to be understanding." and then on top of that of course is the righteous rage he'd feel for al and his situation... and we all know percy is very protective of people he feels responsible for. (it's an interesting complementary to annabeth's personal/emotional possessiveness wink wink)

meanwhile al here is just. struggling. at large he naturally blames the olympians for his situation; but he's also putting a lot of pressure on himself for failing expectations. he's angry about his exile but also he doesn't treat himself well, almost like a method of self-flagellation. in a weird way, i also think that the expectations he perceives of himself as having failed are almost... imaginary? or exaggerated, because we know from Son of Magic that hecate cares about him simply because he is her son, regardless of what he has accomplished or failed. basically i love alabaster making his internal turmoil more complicated than it really is/has to be; and what better way to self-flagellate into the void of confusion by embracing two of olympus' foremost heroes when they offer it lolololol

this was a longer post than i expected, but oml this was a difficult yet very interesting ask to tackle. smartwatermagic's dynamic is very very very complicated and i dont think i could ever write enough words about it.

NSFW Alphabet - Norm Maclean

This man has taken over my thoughts, send help. Or not. Now to work on NSFW Alphabet for Thaddeus because he crept up on me like a lost puppy lololol

AO3

Word Count: 3.737

Warnings: ... This is a NSFW Alphabet, I think that's a warning in itself lolololol

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Norm is usually very attentive, jumping to be the one to do clean up; once really in love and if a shower or bathtub available, likes to help his partner showering/bathing, and will melt if the same is done for him. Water and food are not the first on his mind, but if his partner asks, he gets without complaint. Beyond this, a cuddle-bug; already likes cuddles, but after sex it’s multiplied by ten. Norm loves how the physical contact feels after it, and wants to hug and feel his partner’s warmth long after. Adores if his partner plays softly with his hair during it.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

In his partner, he totally likes butts and legs in general. Can literally spend hours just looking and squeezing, during sex or outside of it; his partner can just straddle him or sit with their legs on his lap, he loves both because it means he can just stroke and grab and squeeze, it doesn’t even need to end in anything. Big fan of walking behind his partner, especially if they’re using tight pants or short skirts, because it means he can watch all the movements and flex of muscles. Not so big on just slapping their butt if walking around… Unless Norm is trying to actually start something.

What he most like about himself is definitely his mouth. With it he can kiss his partner, on the mouth and everywhere else, he can go down on them and wring as much pleasure as possible from their body. Also because once he gets the hang of what makes his partner tick, he knows what exactly to say to get them going and he will use this power with no regrets – once he gets over his own embarrassment at saying anything dirty where anyone can hear him.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Doesn’t have a specific preference on if cumming inside or outside, and goes as his partner prefers; however, once actually in love and in a relationship, acquires a fascination at seeing his spend dripping out of his partner. Won’t force it either way.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

… Norm discovers himself as massively jealous when he falls in love. He guesses it’s because this is something only his, not because of the Vault or his chores or whatever; the feeling exists despite it all and anything that may threaten it makes him uncomfortable.

Still absolutely annoyed at it and does his best to not actually act on it or anything, but the thoughts still circle his head, ranging from deathly violent – tearing eyes for looking at his partner, cutting fingers for touching and so on –, to depravedly sexual – usually finding the closest place with a door, push his partner against the wall and go down on them until they’re screaming his name. Doesn’t want to be seen when having sex, but imagining the one that caused the jealousy walking by and hearing that he is the one causing pleasure scratches an itch he didn’t even know he had.

Usually just pulls his partner for a very possessive kiss where the person can see; if the person causing the jealousy is being obnoxious and not respecting his partner’s boundaries, then anger also gets into play and Norm will murder them with words; if in the Wasteland, he isn’t above threatening with weapons of some type.

Occasionally, after all is said and done and Norm and his partner get away, will end up in mind-blowing slow sex – he wants that reassurance that they’re still together and to make his partner feel good if the person made them uncomfortable. If his partner asks, denies to the death – me? Jealous? Pfff, of course not. Not even exactly a secret, because unless his partner is that distracted, it eventually becomes obvious. He will still deny.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Pretty experienced, mainly regarding sex in itself, because of Vault’s 33 culture. Not so much about romantic intimacy, since there was some emotional distance needed most of the time, with how everyone was so closely related. There are things he may be confused about and that he haven’t tried before and so on, but he absolutely knows what he’s doing, how to satisfy his partner, and what he likes.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

A big fan of missionary and any position that allows him to both keep his hands on his partner’s butt and legs while also allowing him to kiss their lips and see the play of pleasure on their face, to make sure he’s doing it right. Prefers a bed, but Norm will push his partner against a wall or table if that’s what’s available – and the height difference isn’t that big and uncomfortable if against a wall. Goes to heaven and back if his partner wrap their legs around his waist, the tighter the better.

If the day was a tiring one, he’s all up for being ridden, or to lying down facing each other with one of his partner’s legs above his hips. Both end up as very lazy and carefree sex.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Norm can be described a bit as a “bratty little shit”. He likes a humorous dirty back-and-forth bedroom talk, in the foreplay and during it all, teasing his partner about what he wants to do and so on. He can be serious, usually when both he and his partner are stressed about something and it’s harder to get into the right mindset to tease regarding sex, but he does prefer the teasing, the sarcasm and slight goofy way, especially if it’s a serious relationship, because it’s a way both of them get vulnerable and show more of themselves and what they like for him. It’s not up there as a kink, but Norm loves seeing his partner happy. And hey, if it helps along in making his partner a sobbing mess, why not?

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Yes, the carpet matches; has a faint trail down his navel. Trims it all a bit, more to avoid any discomfort with the Vault-Suit or his underwear.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

This is something that really depends with Norm. If it’s all purely casual and blowing off steam, not that romantic, most only about mutual pleasure but that’s it, usually something fast and almost mindless, with no thought to romantic intimacy.

If in actual love, Norm is even a bit shocked at how much of a romantic he can be, desperately craving the romantic connection, in between all the teasing and dirty talk. It becomes all about the eye contact, doing things that makes his partner feel loved, wanting to be as close as possible. Will take his time in finding the best angle, speed and strength of his thrusts so they both enjoy it as most as possible, and sometimes it will be such a way that the intensity of the moment can be overwhelming. Usually by this moment his brain can barely function to tease and be a brat and he only wants to know that his partner is feeling as much pleasure as possible.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Norm’s so glad that adulthood leveled his hormones in such a way that he only does it mostly when too stressed and needs the relief but can’t be bothered to see if one of his casual sex partners are free and up to it. In the end, it’s very rare that Norm actually does masturbate himself.

With a fixed partner and in love, however, if it’s all about stress relief, Norm prefers to masturbate instead of asking his partner to help him out, trying to be as fast and methodical as possible, which results in becoming more frequent. This is especially true if the relationship is recent: he feels weird if its about stress relief only, the romantic intimacy he comes to expect a bit off, as if he doesn’t connect right and is making it all about himself. It his partner offers to help him or interrupts him masturbating and moves to help, however, won’t deny, even if feeling extremely embarrassed.

As the relationship matures, however, Norm becomes more comfortable into asking his partner to help him before going directly to take care of things himself. Norm will have no problem if he ends up having to do all himself, but won’t feel embarrassed by the denial; and, if his partner accepts, he notices and learns that mutual masturbation can also be good for connection and romantic intimacy, as long as both are into it and enjoying themselves and each other.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Hair pulling is the main one. Pull his hair by the roots and Norm is done for, if he wasn’t turned on before, now he is; he effectively leans his head with the pull. Keep it for the whole session and it doesn’t take long for Norm to become glassy-eyed. Give tighter pulls and he whimpers.

It’s followed up by eating/sucking his partner. Norm will spend hours between his partner’s thighs if allowed, to the point of overstimulating them, moaning and groaning into it. In this case, while he’s ok with getting on his knees for it, he actually prefers if his partner sits on his face, and they better put their whole weight on it – he will wrap his arms around their thighs to keep it this way. Pull his hair during it and Norm becomes a mess – there have been cases where both resulted in Norm coming without having his cock touched. He was a bit embarrassed the first time it happened, but he came to appreciate it because every time it happened meant that he could keep focusing on making his partner scream for him without having to worry too much about himself.

If Norm ends up actually in love with his partner, instead of just a sexual relationship, and he doesn’t feel as if building a family and so on is just about “perpetuating America” and effectively MORE WORK, he may eventually find himself with a bit of a breeding kink, fascinated at seeing his spend dripping out from his partner and being tempted to push it back in. It will have to be unlocked from him and he will be absolutely floored at it, unsure if it actually equals to wanting to build a family; not something he will immediately discuss. Once Norm processes it and does bring it up, he will respect his partner’s wishes; if his partner is into it, things get messy fast. It frequently may lead to bouts of cock-warming, staying inside after all is said and done, enjoying each other’s warmth for as long as possible.

May also find himself in a position of wanting to worship the body of his partner and again, very floored at it, but finds it easier to deal with.

A big fan of hearing praise; it only gets worse after how the Council in the Vault talks about his “lack of enthusiasm�� regarding his jobs in the Vault. He wants to know he’s making you feel good, that you appreciate him and so on, that he’s enthusiastic about something. He tries doing the praising and if his partner really likes leans into it, but thinks it doesn’t come naturally to him – he’s way more experience at teasing than praise.

A bit of seeing his partner absolutely overwhelmed with pleasure he caused, sobbing and moaning and glassy-eyed and an overall mess.

And finally, marking. Norm particularly prefers to scratch his partner and see the bruises his grip leaves on their thighs, butt, waist and hips. In himself, there’s no preference: hickey, scratches, bites, all fair game and all makes him a mess, no preference in location. If the marks, specially scratches, are made in the height of passion, not only it all makes him come hard, but afterwards Norm is so smug about it that it can be downright infuriating – only moment where he is not bothered if some blood is drawn, they all mark how much pleasure Norm brought to his partner.

If his partner uses lipstick, then one of the best things they can do is make sure to leave a ring around his cock and open mouthed kiss in places he can easily see. Norm goes almost literally insane.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Preferably, any place he can lock the doors and windows so they won’t be seen or interrupted. Norm hates to be interrupted or have his personal relationships so out in the open, and living in a Vault where everyone knows about everyone, with occasionally being caught in the act when a teenager, it really made him conscious in adulthood to be careful.

If it’s a wall, a table, a bed or whatever else, it doesn’t matter, as long as Norm and his partner can’t be interrupted or caught in it.

Also please not the kitchen. Norm worked in one and has big no regarding doing sex in a place where one cooks and eats.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Not that easy to get Norm going beyond “stressed, need to blow off steam or I’ll explode”, but there are some sure-fire ways, especially if in a relationship. Playing with his hair, sliding a nose and gentle kisses along his neck and shoulders, delicate touches against his skin, using lipstick and kissing him with it on, are all ways to make Norm become aroused enough to start thinking and considering actual sex.

If his partner really, really wants to get Norm going, tight pants and some strategic bends will have him pulling them to the closest room with a lockable door in ten minutes, tops.

On a minor note, jealousy also can get him going, as long as his partner is NOT doing it on purpose and it’s just some jerk making the moves on them and making his partner uncomfortable. Norm will make his partner forget anything but him the next time he gets his hands on them, so they both can forget all about the jerk.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Absolutely nothing skirting close to CNC; Norm likes to feel wanted, and wants that certainty that his partner also wants this as much as possible. CNC is the fastest way to make him flaccid. Also no degradation, towards himself or his partner; he feels inadequate enough in the Vault and he doesn’t want his partner to feel like this.

Also absolutely nothing that can actually hurt either of them.

Attempted choking once, on both ends, deeply disliked it. He wants to hear his partner praising him, and he likes to be able to talk and tease.

Also, because of how things are in the Vault, a big no on doing it in Public or Semi-Public.

Norm will also feel very miffed if his partner attempts to provoke jealousy on purpose. Makes Norm feels insecure, as if his partner doesn’t really wants to be with him.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Likes receiving, loves giving. As mentioned, he goes insane if there’s lipstick marks on his cock, but in the end he really enjoys to have his partner’s thighs around his head as he goes down on them. Something in it, the sounds he can pull, the taste, the weight on his shoulders, how his partner can’t help but thrust and grind into him, how he can reduce someone to a begging and sobbing mess with his mouth really gets him going. And, as mentioned, if partner sitting on his face for it and pulling on his hair, there’s a good chance of Norm coming untouched, that’s how much he enjoys giving oral.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

It depends on the mood and on the level of emotional connection. Casual partners and so on, things are usually faster, but not rough – Norm can’t actually be rough regarding sex. If in a relationship and in love, his preference is slow, deep, and sensual, trying to make it last and find the best way to make both his mind and his partner’s blissfully empty.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

He grew up from teenage to adulthood in the Vault. He had no particular trouble and would partake in them frequently, since it was the easiest, in between classes then work and any other chores in the Vault. However, the moment he starts being able to actually take his time for both him and his partner, he really started to grow a dislike for quickies: they rarely gave him the sight of his partner as a sobbing and moaning mess, and that’s a sight Norm really comes to appreciate.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Surprisingly, Norm is quite a risk taker in the bedroom. As long as it isn’t public or can’t hurt him or his partner, he will try at least once. Tying his partner or being the one tied, orgasm denial, overstimulation, roleplays… And, occasionally, even if he didn’t particularly like something, but his partner enjoyed, he may do it again for them.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

One to two long rounds, and I mean long. Norm absolutely prefers to focus on quality; he wants to see his partner shivering and sobbing from pleasure at the end, and he discovered early that he really preferred to focus on one, at most two orgasms for himself, that are equally able to leave him a mess. He won’t change positions much, unless either him or his partner are uncomfortable.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Norm doesn’t own toys nor has had the opportunity to use them, it doesn’t sound as something that really made its way into the Vault in a way that’s widely available, but he wouldn’t be opposed at trying some and would, without a doubt, acquire a taste for them. Would enjoy learning some knots and tying his partner down. Absolutely accepts to be the one tied down and is the most beautiful mess, he won’t be above begging if it happens.

Also, the day Norm discovers vibrators is the day his partner loses any and all peace, especially if overstimulation is on the table; this man will use and abuse of them against his partner, with the bedroom talk going strong. Again, would accept to be on the other side of it, and would cry of overstimulation. Would repeat it without a second thought.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

A bit unfair in the bedroom, but not much, just enough in the foreplay to get both of them going; no matter if casual or actual relationship, Norm can’t deny pleasure for long.

Outside the bedroom, unable to tease with touches and so on, too embarrassed to even try this type of thing where anyone can see. With words, not something that come naturally to him at first, because of the whole “anyone can see”, but once he learns what gets his partner going and it’s not easy for someone else to hear, won’t be opposed to whisper dirty talk, all about promises of what they’ll get up too once they’re able to.

Unable to deal with teasing outside the bedroom beyond something light and tame, and even then Norm will blush like crazy. Answer to his dirty talk with equal dirty talk outside the bedroom and this man will bluescreen.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Beyond the dirty back-and-forth of foreplay, Norm lets out A LOT of sounds of pleasure once things get going enough that brain power for dirty talk becomes a hard commodity: groans, moans, whimpers, all of it. Also absurdly easy to get him loud, and he will attempt to muffle himself on his partner’s body. At the same time, Norm won’t complain if his partner grabs his hair and keeps him from being able to do it, and with the hair pulling, well, he will be louder.

Absolutely mortified if he discovers other people could hear them and actually did hear.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Loves to sink his nose in his partner’s groin and smell them before going down on them/eating them out, it will effectively make him harder. Norm won’t steal his partner’s underwear, he thinks that’s a huge privacy invasion. However, his partner can slip some used underwear in Norm’s pocket or something of the type before they both go on their businesses for the day. The moment Norm finds the piece of clothing, he will hunt them down as soon as possible and go down on them and God have mercy on his partner because Norm won’t have: he won’t stop until they can’t walk.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Average length, kinda thick. Knows how to use it and very well.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Sits at a general medium, fluctuating a little depending on his stress levels. Not too horny on a daily basis, even when in a relationship as opposed to only casual sex. However, when he does get going, Norm is very much in an all or nothing mindset.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Not quick to fall asleep. In general Norm finds sleep hard enough, after sex it’s weird how most of the times he finds himself even more awake, even if tired. He may just talk and snuggle, but it’s not hard for Norm’s partner to fall asleep before him. Not bothered by it.

Thank you for the ask!!!

I'm currently working on a passion project for years with Jelsa as one the pairings I have in mind. This is what I need rn. Can this response be applicable for ships other than Jelsa?

absolutely! the advice and insights i shared are not limited to just one ship, or shipping in general—they can be applied to multiple aspects of engaging in any fandom community, or even, i suppose, the internet at large. perhaps you can think of them in terms of my personal set of 'best practices' for myself in navigating digital community spaces (after 20+ years of experience lmao) in general, which i hope (but don't always realistically expect) others to also adhere to; of course, time and maturity have granted me the wisdom to realize that not everyone will be on their Best Behavior on the internet, lolololol, as well as the recognition that such things are not always within my control, or my personal responsibility. as we mature, we generally (ideally lol) become more selective in choosing where and how to spend our time and energy!

with that said: the principles of staying grounded, practicing mindfulness, setting boundaries for yourself, focusing on respectful and thoughtful interactions even when (especially when?) encountering diverse and conflicting opinions (to put it mildly, lol), and focusing on the positive aspects of your online communities will generally be beneficial to most everyone. understanding, applying, and embodying these principles broadly will hopefully help you navigate not only your passion project but also your interactions within the wider fandom communities. 💕

your passion project sounds lovely! i hope keeping these practices in mind gives you reassurance and confidence as you continue to create and share your work, and connect with other writers and artists. 💕💕💕💕💕 feel free to reach out if you need more advice or support.

SENDING YOU EVEN MORE LOVE. 💕💕💕💕💕💕

p.s. here is the original ask!

[romanarose]

what is the main thing that drew you to joel (answer cannot be everything, has to be one main thing pls <3)

Hello friend!!!

Short answer/TLDR: his protectiveness

Long answer

Before the last of us came out my three main series that I had been working on or Seattle, sunshine, starlight, sweetheart, Brightside, and leather and lace. All three of those series made heavily on the main characters, the moon boys and Santiago Garcia being very protective over Laci, Sam and Becca.

Especially santi over Laci lolololol

I’m SSSB Marc notes that he thinks Sam gets turned on when she feels safe and protected

I am the same way lol

I was a casual fan of Pedro Pascal until the last of us. I loved him in the Mandalorian and as soon as I saw, triple frontier, that movie became my everything lol so I loved Frankie.

Joel is very protective of everyone around him. As soon as I saw episode one I knew it was all over for me the way that he did absolutely everything for Sarah. Similar with Tommy how he was very focused on trying to protect Sarah. Joel tried to protect Tommy, Tess, Sam, Ellie, all the people that were innocent until the hospital scene

I’ve been through a lot in my lifetime, mostly multiple instances of sexual abuse that have forever changed who I am as a person

Because of that, I am very wary around men and anyone that might be a threat to me, which has been women a handful of times too

I love the idea that Joel wouldn’t let anything happen to me. He would protect me with everything he had, but not just my sexual and physical safety but my mental and emotional safety. My dad never physically hurt my mom, but he was always so unkind and I never wanted anything like that.

I know that land tends to get a little muddled because I write dark fiction but for the most part, the Joel series that I write that have complex character narratives, and why he does what he does and who he is. His heart though I think he’s protective. Even dark series like the wrong way, guard, dog, puppy girl. we see Joel taking on a protective roll even in the wrong way it’s a fucking mess, he likes to think that he’s protecting Tommy and little one.

Joel’s character makes me feel safe. Like he would do anything to protect me. Both him and Santiago Garcia are my comfort characters 100%.

Thanks sm for the ask!!!

[god-has-entered-my-body]

lolololol i accidentally sent that previous ask from my personal account

but the same question stands: what is something your oc will never talk to anyone about? (their answer can be deep, like some emo trauma or like smthng like back when they shit their pants or smthng yk)

-b :)

MPIND Matty is veryy... man when it comes to emotions. He hates talking about negative feelings with anyone, especially when he gets anxious.

Anxiety plagues him most days, and he manages, but sometimes it does get a bit too much. One day, you find him curled up in your bed, staring at the nightstand with tears in his eyes, clutching himself tightly. It breaks your heart to see him like this, vulnerable and hurting, a strong contrast to the Matty you're used to. Of course, he tries to brush it off and tell you he's fine, that you're just imagining things, but you see right through him.

It takes a bit convincing to get him to talk to you when you do settle in behind him, stroking his back and playing with his unbrushed hair. His voice comes out choked and shaky, telling you how theres this weight on his chest. How he constantly feels like crying, that everythings going to go wrong and that its only a matter of time.

The cracks in your heart only widen as he speaks, and you whisper comforting words into his ear as he lets it all out, sniffling and wiping his tears. You take his hand, pressing kisses to the back of it as his back still faces you, too ashamed to look at your face. You get it, and don't press him.

The two of you just lay there, talking, holding each other until he feels better, if only a little bit. His apologies and thank-you's are muffled by your lips against his, telling him that he's beautiful, amazing, smart, kind, wonderful, and that we're all human. Matty knows you love him, he just forgets sometimes.

I was wondering if you had any ideas/thoughts on who you think the next speaker will be? I have a hard time imagining enough republicans will be able to agree on someone. Also, I was wondering if that rule that they only need 1 person to oust a speaker continues without McCarthy or will the new speaker make their own rules?

Various people have thrown in their names, i.e. Steve Scalise, Byron Donalds, Jim Jordan. They are Republicans and therefore all of them are terrible. Scalise is probably the most viable contender as he is the current majority whip. He will probably also draw the most "mainstream" Republican votes, but the crazies will probably go for Jordan (some of the nuts have also threatened to try to make Trump Speaker, which: LOLOLOLOL). Let the poo-flinging begin!

Yes, they will also have to agree on a new rules package, which will be the same shitshow as before and probably even worse; I have no idea why any new Speaker would agree to the same idea of one person being able to vacate them, considering the just-concluded Defenestration of KevKev, and the crazies will dig their heels in even harder. The Democrats will vote for Jeffries again. We have no idea how long any of this will take, especially since McCarthy is just the latest in a long line of Republican speakers to get tossed or otherwise forced out by his own caucus for not being crazy enough. Eric Cantor, John Boehner, Paul Ryan etc would all like a word.

Hi, it's G again. I opened Twitter this morning to escape a nasty meeting to see all the updates. AND IT WAS GLORIOUS!!

You write them so exquisitely. The emotions you conveyed for both of them, especially in trying to resolve their conflict... 1000/10, no notes. The hurt between them was a living breathing thing that made me want to choke. But the communication, the openness, the care, all of the ways they were determined to not let it break them; it was so so beautiful. I died reading the bit where Phuwin is taking off Pond's shirt ( he's so careful with him, like he thinks Pond is a delicate crystal and any wrong move will leave him shattered on the ground). I love the way Pond responded to the whole situation. He had to step in, both to stand up for himself and to stop Phuwin's doom spiral. Not sure if he's even consciously considering the doom spiral aspect though. It just feels like something he would do for someone he loves.

There is so much love and affection in them. I'm not sure if they even realise it themselves. It'll be fun to see where this goes when they are back home and no longer forced to live in the same space. Will the physical space manifest space in their relationship? I can't wait to find out!

I had a nice little laugh about Phuwin's thoughts while looking at Pond. Very 'No Homo' while being anything but. Oh baby Phu, you remind me of my own baby gay moments.

I might have to dig out my old stan account to gush at you on Twitter, but till I do that, I hope it's okay to send you these over here.

Love, G

HI ANON G WELCOME BACK!!! :D

i'm so glad you enjoyed the update!! that was a lot of my sunday LOL

thank you so much for your sweet sweet words and for coming back to me to talk to me about this monster that started on accident...

"It just feels like something he would do for someone he loves." it does anon G, it does T_T

ah yes the going home... it's the next big segment in my notes doc and it's listed in all caps.... i have a couple of different ideas i like that i want to incorporate re: that, specifically.

lolololol you're the third person to point out that moment to me and i'm endlessly amused by it because i really didn't give it that much thought as i wrote it, it just made sense aslfkaldkf

but yes they are but gaybies, hence why they get easily confused and also know nothing, aren't even thinking of what they're doing under the umbrella term of 'kinky' ....i am still very unsure whether to have one of them actually do some research at some point but i guess we'll see 🤷‍♀️

It is MORE than okay, anon G, i am delighted, I am HONOURED, and if you do decide to dust off your twitter, you're more than welcome to say hi and pls introduce yourself as anon G if you do 🙏 Thank you again for your sweet ask and have a lovely morning/evening/timezone, where ever you are! I'm so chuffed I could help you escape a nasty meeting and I hope you survived it okay!
