When one starts thinking about what is now called isekai, one gets to thinking about it in relation to their favourite fandoms
Or, in other words: I do love to see Desmond pulling a foot time travel. I have written before about clothing and scents
But, shall we speak about something more mundane now?
Food
Or, specifically, sugar
(...this is not at all inspired by the comparisons of EU and US versions of the same food that I have watched recently, why do you ask?)
With sugar being so easily available these days, and used in so many products - imagine how hard Desmond would crash. Not at once. Not immediately
But there will come a time where the craving would get terrible. And fruit? Well. They can stave it for a time. Just they aren't always the cheepest
Honey? Good honey is on the pricier side even now, so unless you have access to a hive, it's not a regular thing
In short: give me a Desmond who gets caught because he was lured in by the sweet sweet promise of candy

((Mn so my stress and anxieties are spiking hard this weekend, it seems. I'll try to be more of a presence later in the week. I think I might actually be dealing with zyrtrec withdrawls? Am I that rare statistic? God... let me live. OTL))

HI SAW UR ASKS WERE OPEN FOR THE QUESTIONS I LOVE QUESTIONS!! But what about 17, 19, and 22? Curious to see your thoughts since we like some of the same fandoms!!!
Tumblr media
AGUUGUHHHHH THANK YOU FOR THAT PHOTO IM STEALING IT AND RUNNING AWAY VERY FAST >:DD
ALSO max my inbox is ALWAYS open!! I LOVE GETTING QUESTIONS PLEASE SEND THEM WHENEVER YOU WANT!!!! :DDDDD
17: I already answered this but I always love fanart so why not give another answer!! I think people should draw q!charlie in more dresses!!!!! he went to the wedding in a goopy gunky dress that fanartists (myself included) went insane over if charlie won't do it we have to take matters into our own hands and put that grieving father into situations!! as a treat ofc :3
19: I've got two for this:
horrified that i actually miss elq after he went dark </3 where's the world's worst federation plant i need him and his horrible understanding of what qq was like before him back in my life
and ashamed about literally everything do to with my niklaus hendrix obsession. i cant do anything but think about him sometimes dude im just sitting around in riptide waiting for my guy to show back up i want my slutty deal maker back!!!! GRIZZLY WHERE IS HE⁉️ THEYRE LITERALLY IN THE BLACK SEA HE HAS GOT TO SHOW UP EVENTUALLY
22: GOD i can finally have an excuse to talk about q!charlie and q!mariana <- literally never shuts the fuck up about them
during the totk/gegg stream (yes that's how im phrasing that I guess??) q!charlie wakes up in marianas bed and then immediately leaves to go finish building his exile spot. he literally leaves his final person who he knows to his core cares and loves him because he thinks he's an irredeemable child murdering monster and has to go far far away because of it. something something q!charlie feeling unworthy of love and isolating himself because of it, but creating gegg and allowing gegg to feel loved because if he can live vicariously through gegg he doesn't have to face reality (he deserves love despite his mistakes)
ALSO!! gegg not being appreciated by most of the island until the elections. everyone kinda hated gegg until he started spitting facts on signs and then they loved him again. something something this reinforced q!charlie's idea that love for him is conditional

I honestly just wanted to be coherent, man. I've had genuine bouts of time where I would frequently sleep for 24 hours before and wake in a zombified, exhausted state suggesting that I hadn't even had a single hour of rest, and that was considered a relatively good state of being for me. I've said my head is usually empty and mind entirely blank before, but there's something so horribly different about it being empty because it's leaden. My energy levels haven't really changed from then, but I can convince myself to do the dishes now, sweep the house, or go on walks, at least.
People who drink coffee: why did you start?
I don't drink coffee and I've never wanted to, but that's obviously ~not normal~, so I'm curious why most people do start drinking it.

dress - VETTEL - part 2
pairings: sebastian vettel x famous!reader (fc: taylor swift)
summary: its known that seb has been married for a few years now despite the public never seeing is wife, its also known that yn is in a committed relationship and has been since she disappeared from public eye. maybe they are more connected than people realise
authors note: part two because i didnt realise how long it had gotten but im allergic to actually writing.. also i apologize for the first part literally just being build-up.. i honestly didnt know about the 30 pic limit so...
authors note 2: i used google translate for the german so i hope its correct, also i dont know if petnames like darling or sunshine are used in germany but i had to use them
authors note 3: i actually hate how this turned out :/ but it was very hard to actually get my thoughts onto the page so this will do! this is part 2 so go read part 1 first!!

four years ago i was given the pleasure of marrying my best friend
i am unable to really put into words how much meeting you and getting to spend the rest of my life with you has changed my life seb, but i tell you i love you enough daily that i hope you understand
when we first met i had no idea how much you would impact me and the way i think, but you have helped me become the woman i am today and i am forever grateful for that
i often feel unworthy of the life you have given me, the life we have together. i wonder how i got to be the one you love and cherish and i know how lucky i am to be the one you spend your life with
you gave me your heart and i promise to look after it for as long as im here, i promise to keep it safe and i know you will look after mine
danke, dass du mich liebst, danke, dass du dich um mich kümmerst. (thank you for loving me, thank you for taking care of me) Ich verspreche, dich bis zu meinem letzten Atemzug zu lieben.

do you write hypnosis stuff?? it's not specifically against the rules but idk it's kind of an iffy era for a lot of writers-
if it's okay with you, could you write some Vox x Singer!Reader who he uses his mind control on to sell their soul to him so they remain under the VoxTek label? (im sure remaining with him is an ulterior motive of his as well lol)
thanks :]
I can absolutely do that! I’m a little iffy about NSFW hypnosis, but I can do a SFW oneshot :)

Obsessed!Vox x Singer!GN!Reader
Tumblr media
Word Count: 1.4k
WARNINGS: Yandere-ish behavior, hypnosis, manipulation, toxic behavior, all that good stuff
A/N: I told y'all I'd be back with some toxic Vox!! I wasn't entirely sure how to end this one, but I've spent enough time rewriting it to stop caring. This one is only romantic in theory - nothing actually romantic happens between Vox and Reader, it's more mutual pining than anything else This is also my first time writing obsessive behavior, so I hope I did it well!

You’ve been working with the Vees for years now. You were originally recruited by Velvette, who’s like a bloodhound for new talent. She saw some popular videos of your singing online, and she made you famous.
But you don’t work with her that much, oddly enough. Over time, you gradually started to see her less and less. Vox was the one to take her place. By the time you noticed, there wasn’t much you could do about it—you’re certainly not an equal to the Vees, so there wasn’t much you could do. Sure, you could’ve quit then and there, as you’d never signed a soul-binding contract, but you really liked your job. You were getting to do what you loved for a living! Who wouldn’t want that?
Well, you. You don’t want that anymore. You’re getting burnt out. You feel like you’re out of creativity for writing songs, and singing no longer has the same appeal it used to. It feels like a chore. Getting on stage doesn’t get you excited—it just fills you with dread.
Then you saw the videos of the annual clown pageant down in the Greed Ring. How Fizzarolli, Mammon’s favorite little jester, just…quit. Just like that. 
Can you do that?
You don’t have backup like Fizzarolli did. There’s no Prince of Hell to protect you if the Vees lash out in response to your resignation. But the Vees aren’t Mammon. They’re powerful Overlords, sure, but they wouldn’t kill off an easy cash grab like you. And they don’t have any leverage to use against you—you’re a fucking superstar, you learned to stop keeping secrets a long time ago.
Yeah, you can totally do this!
You spend the next week making a plan. You currently live in V Tower, so finding another living arrangement is a priority. Luckily, your standards are just as low as before you got famous, so snatching up an apartment doesn’t take long. You’ve been building up savings for some time now, just little bits here and there that wouldn’t look suspicious among your bank withdrawls, so you have enough money to last you a while. You’ve made a go-bag, but you’re not too worried about bringing anything with you, as you have enough cash to just buy new shit. By the time the end of the week comes around, you’ve got your escape plan ready to go. All that’s left is to actually quit.
You decide that directly speaking to Vox is your best option. Velvette and you don’t have the same rapport that you used to, and Valentino is just… no. During your time working with Vox, you like to think there’s some sort of friendship there. The two of you chat amicably, and he always makes sure you’re okay when it comes to creepy fans and the like. You feel like there could be something more than just friendship, but you don’t plan on staying long enough to find out. As much as you like Vox, you’re not willing to spend the rest of your afterlife hating every second of your job just for him.
You stand outside Vox’s lair, mentally preparing yourself for this conversation. You take a deep breath, and right before you can knock on the door, it opens.
Okay, here goes.
⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
You aren’t as sneaky as you seem to think you are.
A normal boss wouldn’t have noticed the small transactions in your bank account, or the little trips you’ve been taking to go look at apartments. But Vox isn’t a ‘normal boss’ by any means. And he noticed.
From the moment Vox set eyes on you, he knew he wanted you. You’re beautiful, and fuck, your voice—he just can’t get you out of his damn head, no matter how hard he tries. And he really fucking tried. But he couldn’t avoid you, thanks to VoxTek being such an integral part of your performances. And you’re like a damn siren with that voice of yours, even though he’s supposed to be the hypnotizing one here. Eventually, he just gave in and accepted that he was more than a little obsessed with you. That’s why he started drawing you closer to him, pushing away Velvette and taking control of your brand. He doesn’t like sharing.
Obsession isn’t a particularly new feeling for Vox. He certainly has… tendencies. But this isn’t like whatever the fuck he’s got going on with that deer-headed, old-timey bastard Alastor. It’s not a lust thing, either. You’re certainly attractive, and Vox most definitely would sleep with you, but that’s not the main factor at play here. This is a deeper obsession than any of that bullshit.
Vox knows that he doesn’t own your soul. He’s well aware that he can’t truly stop you from quitting. Even if he managed to trap you inside V Tower, he can’t force you to keep up the performances. If he had you under a proper soul-binding contract, though…
He would own you.
Now, he’s not Valentino. He doesn’t plan to take that kind of advantage over you. He doesn’t want to change a damn thing. He just wants you to stay.
And he will make you stay.
He knows when you approach his office, and he opens the doors with the touch of a button on his desk. He plasters that casually perfect smile on his screen and turns to face you as you enter. The doors shut behind you.
“I wasn’t expecting to see you today, my dear,” he lies easily, the charismatic mask fitting into place like it was never absent in the first place. “How can I help you?”
You hesitate, your anxiety starting to get to you. But you’re determined to do this. You clear your throat and step forward. “I’m resigning.”
Vox’s smile doesn’t falter, nor does his screen glitch. His demeanor is…unnerving, to say the least. You’ve known him to be temperamental, emotional. You expected some kind of reaction. But he’s just smirking at you like he always does.
“I don’t suppose there’s anything I can do to change your mind,” he replies smoothly, tilting his head to the side just slightly.
“No,” you confirm, trying to sound confident in your answer. You’re not sure if you succeed. “I’ve already made my decision.”
Vox sighs, though he doesn’t sound very defeated. His smirk hasn’t gone away, either. “Well, then. It’s been a pleasure working with you, darling.”
He holds his hand out for you to shake. The gesture immediately worries you, as it’s the well-known sign of a deal. But you reassure yourself that there’s no deal being made here. Hell may be chaotic, but there’s rules when it comes to these kinds of things. Neither of you have offered anything, therefore there’s no harm in shaking his hand. It’s just a respectful gesture of a boss wishing their employee farewell. It all feels too easy, but you’re too relieved to think too hard about it.
You go to take his hand, but as you lift your head up to meet his gaze, everything goes fuzzy.
Vox grabs you by your wrist before you can shake his hand. He’s not rough with you. He’s careful of his claws, ensuring they don’t put too much pressure on your skin. Not that you’d notice, either way—your mind is far gone at this point, thanks to those spirals in his eye.
“In exchange for your soul, you’ll remain under the VoxTek label and continue working for me. Your work will remain the same as before. You’ll forget about leaving. You will want to stay here. You will want to stay here with me.”
A golden scroll appears out of thin air, and it floats in front of you as it unfurls. “Sign it.”
Your body moves on its own. You sign your name on the line at the bottom of the page.
Vox releases your wrist, and takes your hand in his own as his eye reverts back to its normal state. When you come to just moments later, he’s shaking your hand with calm professionality.
“I’m glad we got that sorted out,” Vox remarks smoothly, his smirk looking almost proud now. “I look forward to your next performance, my dear.”
You blink a few times as you become more lucid and aware. “Uh, yeah. Can’t wait!”
You smile, and Vox releases your hand, seemingly satisfied with your answer. You don’t remember what exactly you came in here for, but you’re happy with the outcome.  “Perfect.”

18+ (mod/heavy smut... don't be scared.)
warnings; somnophilia, !cnc, mentions of sex.
synopsis; Satoru understands how hard it gets for you, always working, always being a provider even when you don't need to be one. But you always insist, not wanting to depend on him for everything. He only bids to understand because he loves you.
Tumblr media
Satoru is as understanding as any man comes. He gets it, he gets you. You're the love of his life, the person he cares for and lives for. You're so dedicated, hardworking like regularly. You try so hard everyday, insisting you'd never depend on him because it makes you 'feel bad.' He hates it; he hates how tired you are everyday, you're his baby.. how could you not be?
Satoru loves to worship your skin, worship you. He's a slave for you and would kiss every step you take on the ground, clean every walking surface just so he could please you. and even a few days without sex puts him through withdrawls. Can you blame him? He's just so needy for you... all the time. You're his walking drug and he needs his fix. He can't wake you up while you're peacefully sleeping after such a long day, that'll make him feel so bad, make him seem like a really, really bad husband. You're his angel; resting and recharging for another hard day.
Too bad he's never been the quietest while jerking off.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Satoru had no shame. Yeah, you've had a long week, a crazy week at that, but, it was too much for him to handle alone. He hates how tired you get, sometimes not even having time to talk to him, brushing him off whenever you walk through those doors, poor baby. Of course you need to recharge- but for what? So you can do everything all over again? How is that fair, he can't go this long without fucking you; worshipping your body, fucking you for hours... and hours... and hours.
He was panting, head back, lip bitten. Hand fisting his cock up and down; lying next to your sleeping form in bed. He wasn't planning on waking you up, of course not... but after countless of lonely nights and countless wet dreams about you wringing his cock dry; he just needed to let off some steam.
"Mmmff... fuck, baby fuck..." Satoru groans under his breath, dropping his head back against the headboard; hand fisting his twitching cock.
You shifted in the bed, causing him to slow down, watching you. You didn't wake up, not yet. But, the minute he sees the duvet slide down your hips and off your ass, oh boy.
You were too tired to put on panties after that steamy shower, the only thing you had on was a tank top, pretty breast spilling from them. He shivers, back arching. Before he even knows it, he's behind you, very carefully... even holding his breath just to not wake you up.
His sweatpants are lazily resting down his legs and his shirt is lifted up; pressed in his mouth to keep him quiet. He takes his time, being so gentle with you as he spreads your ass, giving his hips a small twist to adjust himself perfectly, stuffing his cock in. And his eyes roll back, muffled groans against his shirt.
Satoru begins to thrust, very slow. Steady, gentle. Like that doesn't fucking drive him crazy. "S'tight..." He groans, still all muffled. He increases his pace, now not giving a fuck, too lost in to give one. Pressing both hands at your ass, spreading it more apart to give him easier access between your tight hole. He leans forward, pressing one hand at the side of your head, stuffing himself deep in your slick pussy.
All his ruckus causes you to wake up, immediately clawing at the sheets, moaning softly and hoarse. He drops his shirt from his mouth, choking back a moan. "Ngh- I'm sorry, baby.. fuck.. I didn't mean to wake you... but, I couldn't... ah- hold back.." He moans, dropping the one hand that's holding him up to his forearm, holding your waist with his calloused, rough hands, pressing his cock into you much harder now, not holding back for the sake of him going insane if he didn't.

You know what? I'm talking about "phone addiction" again because I'm not done.
Do you know what an addiction is? Addiction isn't "you do it just out of habit because you don't think about it" addiction is "if you stop you will literally be in agony and that's why you keep turning to the thing."
We have this baked-in idea that addiction is a moral failing, that if you have a phone addiction, it really just means you need to get off your phone. Yeah, addicted to alcohol? Just stop! Don't drink it anymore! Withdrawl? What's that? If you drink alcohol, it obviously means you just don't have enough willpower! If you can't stop drinking alcohol, it means you're a bad person. You basically deserve to have liver failure at that point!
Yes some people actually believe this! They don't know that paramedics carry alcohol with them specifically because it saves the lives of people going through alcohol withdrawl, they don't care! It's something they cheer themselves up with because they aren't addicted to alcohol, and that means they're a good person.
I am so sick and fucking tired of people pathologizing and moralizing non-moral issues. Addiction, or Substance Abuse Disorder, is an actual physical health condition. It's a disease. You can't stop it with enough willpower, it's something that needs actual medical treatment. Just looking at coping mechanisms or even just things that make you feel good because they release dopamine in your brain and calling that an "addiction" does so much damage to people's understanding of real addiction and makes addicts look like evil weak cowards instead of people with a disease that needs treatment. That's fucking evil. Imagine telling someone with cancer that they just didn't have enough willpower to stop it. Disgusting.
And it's extra ironic coming from these people who think they're addicted to their phone saying "you just need to stop" and then not stopping, meanwhile I have often just forgotten I don't have my phone with me and then get confused when I don't have it. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Why is the person who "knows" it's an "addiction" (in the moral failing way) still not have enough willpower to stop whereas I have to consciously remind myself to go find my phone because I just forget it exists when I don't believe in phone addiction? Literally half the time I take my phone out of my pocket, it's just to check the time.
It's almost like "phone addiction" is just another way to make people feel guilty for doing things they like doing. It doesn't make them stop, they just feel worse about it. They don't think about it as a coping strategy that fades as their life circumstances get better.
And every single time, when you find these people who feel bad for doing things that make them happy, they grew up christian. Every fucking time. "Struggle with addiction" and it's just guilt applied to something normal.
STOP MAKING YOUR CATHOLIC GUILT EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEM!!! IF YOU CARED ABOUT "PHONE ADDICTION" YOU WOULD BE TAKING ACTUAL STEPS TO MINIMIZE HARM, NOT THROWING GUILT AT PEOPLE JUST FOR ITS OWN SAKE!!!
