#and he really needs to give them an update asap

[gotta-winwin]

OT13 Reaction -- to you having a fan account

SCOUPS:

he finds it so incredibly adorable that you have a fan acc dedicated to them. he follows it from his burner acc asap, adding it to his list of accs he checks daily. is so surprised when he finds out that he's actually been following the account already, having been using it for updates on seventeen. amazed to know you're the one behind @ svtfanclub.

JEONGHAN:

teases you about it every chance he gets. he insists you're sooo obsessed with him and everything he does. you have to start second thinking everything you post about him, knowing even the smallest thing might set off a firework of omg you're sooo in love, at least hide it better. ik, ik, you can't help it. i'm irresistible. smirks when he sees you typing on your phone, fingers already itching to save the post before you've even posted it.

JOSHUA:

has a dedicated saved folder just for your posts. saves every single one to look back on later. brings them up in daily conversation randomly - you guys could be talking about what to have for dinner and he'd throw in a soooo i saw your latest post, the one with my photoshoot pictures~ turns red whenever he sees you thirsting for him online.

JUN:

singlehandedly turns your svt updates fan acc into a svt meme acc. he sends you exclusive photos of the members whenever he can, urging you to turn them into memes and to post them. cackles reading all the comments and only ever sends you good pics of himself. he refuses to be caught lacking.

HOSHI:

remember when hoshi spammed weverse with horanghae? he will 100% steal your phone and do that on your fan acc. accidentally stirs up speculation about whether or not you know hoshi or if you're trolling your followers. insists you post one photo of him a day, resulting in the acc being more of a hoshi shrine than a svt fanpage (oops.)

WONWOO:

lowkey impressed how routinely your updates are despite your busy life. he's a little embarrassed by some of your more....enthusiastic posts, but he appreciates the amount of love. ends up adding the acc to his phone so ya'll can run it together. he handles all the nomination updates and real other stuff - allowing you to spend your time posting more fun content about the members.

WOOZI:

doesn't really get the point of it. he does his best to understand the hows and whys of running a fan acc, ending up just telling you how much it means to him that you're supporting his work. gives you exclusive mini interviews about his creative process and songwriting, leaving your followers wondering where on earth you're getting these insider info.

MINGHAO:

touched when he notices you have dedicated posts to him and his art projects. scolds you whenever he sees you interacting with haters, reminding you that as much as he appreciates you defending them, violence is not the answer! he's always there to remind you whenever he feels like you need a break for social media, turning off your phone for you and proposing a day out.

DK:

cries as he scrolls through your posts, not being able to take how thoughtful and supportive you are. clings onto you the whole day after he finds out, whispering how much he loves you and how much it means to him. turns on notifications for your posts and smiles whenever he sees them.

MINGYU:

accidentally likes one of your posts thirsting over him with his main acc. panics and deletes it but it's too late - the ever-watching carats have spotted him. sends millions of followers swarming to your acc and he can only shrug when you confront him about it. claims its for media and promotion purposes. sends you exclusive gym pics and thirst traps for you to post - although some of them are too spicy so you keep them to yourself.

SEUNGKWAN:

has that iconic shocked expression when you tell him before taking out his own phone and showing you that surprise! he has one too. the two of you now sometimes coordinate your posting times and interact with each other in the comments. he will tsk with disappointment if a post doesn't met his standards. competitive ass turns it into a competition.

VERNON:

he's not surprised. you seem to know like everything about seventeen already, so it's only natural you help inform other carats! he'll send you trends he thinks you should incorporate into your acc and provides you with behind-the-scenes pics. gets you vip access to any event so you can grab those up close shoots of him and his members - nepo baby(?) at its finest.

DINO:

his ego is boosted to the max when he finds out. loves that you found a way to love him loudly despite your relationship being private. giggles to himself (although he'll never admit it) whenever you post about him and sends your posts into the svt gc for his hyungs to see.

The Boys Preference: Reacting To Your Tattoos

A/N: I have so many ideas for The Boys cast! Be sure to look out for more posts! I'm updating my request list to include them 😊 I'm sorry I've been a little MIA! I'll be getting back to requests asap! Hope you like it! Feedback is always appreciated 💜

Butcher loves them. This is not the moment to say something, to react, but he definitely takes notice. You got hurt, really hurt, and the only way to save you was for Annie cauterizing your wounds, buying you a little more time. Butcher didn't need to hold you down, you'd already gone limp, losing all color in your face. He begs you to wake up, to stay with them. There was so much blood. So much red. He was covered in it, seeping through his shirt. Your jacket was thrown off, the collar of your shirt torn, ripped, for easier access to your shoulder and they both discovered the tattoos. Your chest, your arm, neck, you were covered. He had a feeling there were far more, wondering why you never showed any of them. You were always so bundled up, he never even questioned it. He warned you this was going to hurt, though he wasn't even sure you could hear him. Still, as Annie's hands grew bright, he cringes, hoping you were too out of it to feel anything, hoping this would all seem like a far away dream. Hoping you won't mind the large scar that will warp your ink.

Hughie is pretty intimidated by them. The Boys are already a scary looking group, but meeting you, he thought you were going to bite off his head. Your body was pretty covered. After getting to know you, he realizes how wrong he was. You're snarky and stubborn, but you're also thoughtful and funny. If it were up to you, you'd never hurt a fly, just Vought. Still, every so often you'll do or say something that reminds him of that first impression, especially when you feel threatened or your friends are threatened. You'll show up with a few new ones, filling in the gaps. When it comes to open wounds you're ready to treat it with a strong drink and duct tape. When it comes to your tattoos, you're meticulous in your aftercare. He's never seen you so serene looking as when you're taking care of them, so gentle. Something about that makes him feel like he shouldn't be witnessing it, but he's grateful that he is. When they're in tricky spots, he's the first to offer to help. He works with nervous hands, afraid he'll do something to ruin it. You just laugh, walking him through it.

Annie knows all about your tattoos. They are, after all, linked to the V in your blood. You didn't start developing them until your late teens, your parents assuming the V they injected was a dud. Images started appearing and with them, your powers. By the time she met you, you were covered. You didn't like showing off to The Boys. You still had a long way to go to gaining their trust. Parading around the fact that you were a Supe wasn't going to help. Still, when it was just you and Annie you were less reluctant to show her. All kinds of images adorned your skin: weapons, insects, animals. You liked the weapons the best. The thing could project itself from your skin as if it were real. In seconds, you had a sword in each hand, as real and sharp as if you'd physically gotten one. The best part? Your skin was indestructible. Every few months, maybe years, a new tattoo would appear, giving you a leg up in the fight against Vought. She thinks you have by far the most interesting powers of any Supe she's met.

M.M. hates them. Because they're linked to the V you got as a baby, he sees them more of a warning than anything else, the way brightly colored animals are poisonous. He hadn't realized the first time you met, what they were from, and you were smart enough not to tell him. It was only when you were fighting for your life did you use your abilities: the circles on the back of your neck, layered, you let out a sonic scream that shattered windows, set off car alarms, and drew blood. The group that had attacked you were coughing it up, it was running down their necks from their ears. M.M. was far enough away not to be affected, but the way he tells it, he was *this* close to having his insides turned to goo. Some were safe enough to run away. The ones who were closer dropped dead with a wet squelch. He trusts you even less for not telling him. When he breaks the news to everyone else, he's shocked to find out that they either knew (like Annie) or they were unfazed, more impressed than anything else, like you'd become this great asset. You apologize profusely, but you know it'll be a long time before he can even look you in the eyes.

Frenchie thinks they're so cool. He went with you once and got one of his own: while you were getting a rather large piece finished, he wants to get a smiley face on his ass cheek. Despite the discomfort, Frenchie's all giggles. He's more than excited to show this off to everyone he decides to moon. You try to tell him how to take care of it, but he waves you off. He's eager to show The Boys. He's lucky it heals properly and by the end of the week, everyone he comes into contact with has seen it. Besides that, his favorite thing is to study the ones you have. They're intricate and beautiful and some of them are pretty silly. You never understood the sentiment that there had to be some grand kind of meaning behind them. If you like it, you get it tattooed. He asks questions about them, most done all over the world or, a couple, in prison. He thinks you look badass, especially when you shed the bulky layers and show off what they normally don't get to see. Your back piece is his favorite. When you're wearing something with a low back, or disregard a shirt completely, he can't help but watch you. You're careful, covering them with clothes or makeup so that whatever illegal thing you're doing can't be traced.

Kimiko asks a lot of questions. Did it hurt? Why that image? What does it mean? How long did it take? You never mind, in fact you like talking about them. You spent enough time getting stabbed, you wanted someone to ask. She especially loves the ones on your hands. They look beautiful as you sign back to her. Some are still a little raised despite how well you took care of them, those are her favorite. She touches them delicately, afraid it might hurt, but you assure her they're all healed. She watches when you're getting changed together, how they move with your skin and muscles. They make her smile knowing you feel so much more at home in your body because of them, something you admitted to her late one night after a few drinks. They help you like yourself, covering up insecurities, making you feel cuter/cooler than you would without them. She's always the first to notice when you get a new one, making a point regardless of the situation to tell you how nice it looks and that she likes it a lot.

Bonus! Homelander thinks they're horrendous. Disgusting. Just another way you've defiled your body. He can't stand to look at them and made sure you understand that. Around him, you keep them covered, either by clothing or makeup. You know better than to draw attention towards them. Regardless of how you acquired them (Compound V or just an aesthetic choice) you know not to bring them up or let anyone else bring them up. A-Train noticed the one of the back of your neck and that put Homelander over the edge. You were both thrown out of the room. You consider yourself more than lucky. He could have killed you, both of you, but he was feeling generous. He had bigger things on his mind. You knew working for Vought would lead to sacrifices, uncomfortable situations, but being interrogated by Homelander about your tattoos was never something you ever considered. He thinks about using his lasers every time he sees them poking out from your sleeve or pants. But he needs you. As long as he needs you, you're safe. The moment you stop being useful, he's going to cut off every individual image until there's nothing left. Until you look normal again.

16.03.2025. Australia, Melbourne

“Get your shit together” you said to yourself in the mirror. Standing in the RB  garage bathroom, gripping the sink with all your strength while trying to tame the boiling anxiety coursing through your body. It's officially the first race day and all the fears and doubts came crashing down on you. It’s normal to be nervous on the first day, you said to yourself, but is it normal to be physically nauseous? Probably not, but here we are. “You can do this Yn, you know what you're capable of” you keep repeating out loud like a mantra, hoping it will stop the burning and sinking feeling in your stomach.

A voice calling out your name snapped you out of the spiraling daze. “Are you in there?” said a voice you recognize as your race engineer. “Yeah, give me a second i'll be out” you shout from the other side of the door. Receiving a ‘Okay’ from them as you turn on the faucet and put your clammy hands under the cold water. Urgently splashing your face, hoping to bring you out the anxiety induced haze. Straightening up, you dab the moisture off your face and discard the paper towel. Fixing your tied back hair and the race suit that's zipped up to your hips. With a more of a shaky chuckle, you flash thumbs up to yourself in the mirror and whisper “You got this girl” before unlocking the bathroom door and stepping out to the bustling and roaring garage.

Walking back to your side of the garage, you spot Daniel speaking to one of your engineers. “There you are” spoke the familiar Aussie accent as you two made eye contact, seeing his infectious smile only made the corner of your lips twitch upwards. “How are you feeling, everything okay?” said Daniel as you approached the screens where he's standing. With a nervous chuckle, you spoke “Honestly, anxiety is gnawing at my insides, but I've pep talked myself in the mirror so hopefully I won't spiral completely” as you shifted your gaze from the screen to him. The Aussie had a soft and understanding expression on his face as he reassured you in a comforting tone “You're gonna be just fine, trust me” as he placed his hand on your shoulder “I know how you feel and that's completely valid. Nerves mean you care—use them. Trust your prep, feel the car, and have fun. The first race is unforgettable. You’ve got this, you're a good driver and you know it.”. The way his tone was sincere and caring and that warm smile and the grounding hand on your shoulder made the burning pit in your stomach slightly fade away. With more confidence in your stance, and that smile finally appearing on your face, you thanked him “Thank you for saying that, you don't how much it means to me. I promise to give it my best and not let the fear swallow me whole,” you end the sentence with a soft chuckle. With a chuckle of his own, his arms wrapped around your shoulders as he pulled you in a reassuring and warm embrace, patting your back gently. Your hands instinctively found their way onto his upper back, mimicking his patting motion.

𖦹An Old Friend - Part Two𖦹

summary𖦹 Sam learns listening to Ruby was bad a bit too late and you drive out to help him and dean fix their mess

pairing𖦹 Sam Winchester x Reader (eventual romantic)

word count𖦹 1,198

notes𖦹 I wanted it to be a slow-burn but Its moving faster than anticipated (they just need to get together asap) whatever hope y'all like it also hope that I didn't mischaracterize Sam (there's more focus on how he's feeling)

part 1 part 3

It had been a couple months. A couple months of worrying about Sam while he destroyed himself. Dean would update you every week or so and nothing had changed, Sam was still not listening and Dean had to deal with it. Except this call was different, Sam had killed Lilith, but it wasn't a good thing. Her death had released Lucifer from his cage. Ruby knew it would happen, she planned everything, and Sam took the bait. You knew she was no good. So here you were driving back out to see them and help them fix the mess they made. 

You didnt wanna be mad at Sam but he was a dick, you deserve to be angry–with both of the brothers. You were mad that they dragged you back into hunting, mad that sam didn't listen, mad that they only called you now that the needed help (seriously y'all have phones, why couldn't you have stayed friends after you went to collage), but you were especially mad that you don't have the time to be mad cause the world is kinda ending. It all just sucks. And the worst part is you have to talk to Sam again (awkward). You don't even know what to say to him–you know you won't say anything until he apologizes. 

So here you are outside another busted motel room, waiting for one of the brothers to let you in. Dean quickly cracks the door open, gun in hand, and pulls you into the room–making sure nobody followed you (kinda extra if you ask me) and splashes you with a bit of holy water.

“Seriously” you say, wiping your face dry.

Dean shrugs with his signature smirk “can never be too careful”

“Sure whatever��� you roll your eyes in response and pull Dean into a hug. “Long time no see” you joke.

“Don't remind me” he says with fake annoyance in his tone

Sam comes out of the bathroom and immediately the mood shifts. He walks up to you awkwardly and you defiantly avoid his gaze.

“Hey Y/N” Sam says cautiously 

You refuse to respond but instead look at him with anger, making sure he understood how much he messed up.

“Look, I know I was a dick–”

You scoff “you were” 

Sam pauses to find the right words “you have every right to be mad at me–”

“Oh i'm pissed” You interrupt 

“Will you just let me talk…”

You roll your eyes and motion for him to continue

“I messed up and I should have listened to you, you were right–you always are–and I'm sorry for being so rude to you, I didn't mean it, I'm truly so sorry…you can say ‘I told you so’ and you don't have to accept my apology, I just wanted you to know that I know I was wrong.”

You sigh in resignation when he finishes his apology “sam…I don't wanna say I told you so–it doesn't change anything or make me any happier…I know your sorry and I don't wanna stay mad at you forever (its kinda hard to stay mad when he gives you those puppy dog eyes) it's just gonna take some time to get back to normal”

“Of course” sam quickly responds and nods his head in agreeance “thank you, really, i'm so sorry–”

You put your hand up to stop him “stop, I get it”

“Sorry” Sam replies and you give him a look that says ‘seriously’ and he corrects himself “right, no apologies”

You and sam stood staring at each other a lot less awkwardly that before until you gave in and hugged him “I can't resist, I missed you”

“I don't deserve this, I was a dick” he says in protest but hugs you back with no hesitation.

“Shut up and let me be nice to you, this is the first time we've really hung out since we were 18, I miss my best friend” you playfully scold and pull away from the hug. You glance up at Sam with a fond look in your eyes and a small, bashful smile on your face. 

Dean cuts through the tension and clears his throat from the other side of the room. You and Sam quickly break eye contact to look over at him. 

“Ok, now that we're one big happy family again…who wants a beer?” Dean asks, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

A grin spreads on your face, “Oh, now we're talking…i'll take one, thanks”

Dean nods “Coming right up” he turns to Sam, silently asking for his response.

“Sure, thanks” Sam quickly replies.

Dean heads to the small kitchen in the dingey motel and you start to follow him “let me help” you offer.

The second you step away from Sam he feels like he can breathe again. Have you always had this effect on him–I mean, he always cared what you thought–but this is different, like he needs your approval. Is that healthy? He doesn't have time for this, he has to focus on fighting Lucifer, but all he can think about is your smile and how easily you forgave him. You've always been such a sweetheart, he doesn't deserve your friendship (aren't you just the best)

Before Sam could get too lost in his thoughts, you and Dean are back with three opened beers. You move back to your spot next to sam and hand him one”

“Thanks” he mutters quietly

You give him a look that says ‘it's no problem’ and turn to Dean. “So, what have I missed these last couple years, I need to get caught up.”

The night goes on and you and the brothers talk about anything and everything, staying away from serious topics (just let my homeboys be relaxed for one night). Soon all three of you grow tired and Dean starts getting ready for bed. 

You turn to sam “I need some shut eye, i'm gonna go book a room, i'll text you the room number” 

Sam shakes his head “i'll come with you”

You smile in appreciation “prince charming, making sure I don't get snatched in the parking lot” you tease

He playfully rolls his eyes “sorry for being decent, next time i'll just let you go outside of a sketchy motel in the dark all alone”

“I never said it was a bad thing” You defend

He sighs, playfully exasperated “sure” 

You pat sams knee and stand up from your seat on the edge of sams bed“If your gonna come with me to book my room then get off your ass and lets go” you say while putting on your jacket

Sam is frozen for a second, a little flushed from the contact you made with his thigh, but quickly recovers and stands up with you “ok–ok, geeze”After Sam drops you off and makes sure you're settled, he heads back to his room. When he walks in he notices Dean already racked out on his bed drooling away. Sam quickly gets ready for bed and falls asleep thinking about you. He forgot how much he missed you–did he already mention how much he loves your smile. Why does he keep thinking of you? 

I hope this is good and I'm sorry if there are any typos

thanks for all the love on my first part

@jaybbygrl @uranometrias

[witchofhimring]

Hello there🤗.

I hope your keeping well and are in good spirits these Spring/Summer months✨🌟💐. Also, I want to thank you again for the 5th chapter on your "Disloyalty" series. It's going to be very interesting to see how our hero handles and uses her magic from now on. And I noticed you referring to one of Princess Tyrell's hand maidens/ Alicent's spies as a "Weed" 🌱. Very clever 😉. (Note: this ask request now marks my end of referring to the M/C as Lady Lannister/ Lady L😁).

At present, I have three questions that have been on my mind for a bit and I'm wondering if I could put them forward to you and get your opinion, if that is okay? Though I want to note, I think my second question about the reader's body might be a bit unseemly. So please feel free to ignore this question if you want. The same with the other 2 questions, if they may lead to any spoilers.

🗡️💎🪾🐉🌹🥀💎🪾🐉🌹🥀💎🌹🥀

My first question is regarding our hero's betrothal date. Princess Tyrell was summoned to the Council Room regarding her betrothal to Jason Lannister, which was a bit earlier than expected. Was the date moved forward by the 'Weed' Jenna in response to Ellyn's assault on Princess Tyrell? For me, I believe that Jenna wanted our hero out of King's Landing ASAP to avoid another scandal with Princess Ellyn, but most likely to ensure that our hero was still in one piece 🤕 when sending her off to marry Jason.

🥀🌹✨🌹🥀✨🌹✨🥀✨🌹🥀🌹🥀

My second question is about Princess Tyrell herself. When she went back in-time 2 years to the night of Aemond's and 'the Mad Stag Princesses🦌😵‍💫 ' wedding, she had the same wounds on her wrists as the ones she got on the night she died. Did Princess Tyrell's body ever revert back to the state it was in 2 years ago, or is her body in the same state as when she died? The reason I'm wondering is when she was with Jacerion, was her 'maiden-hood' restored or still broken? As I can't recall if she ever mentioned it breaking again. Assuming she had the same body from when she died, then Princess Tyrell would have been in a grave situation if Ellyn requested another purity trial. Thus making it necessary for her to marry Prince Jacerion as soon as possible.

🗡️🌹💍🩸🗡️🩸💍🥀🌹🩸💍🥀🌹🩸

My final question is in regards to Aemond. In a previous ask request, I inqured about how Aemond might handle the war if he himself went back in time. But then, another curious thought crossed my mind. With regard to, not just the ending of your first book "Loyalty", but also with the ending of the 'Fire and Blood' book in general📖🐉🔥🩸. The concept of an alternate ending, in which the Greens reigned victorious at the end of the Dance of Dragons Civil War and Aemond survives it.

In this scenario, would Aemond take the time to really reflect on Princess Tyrell's situation as well as his friendship with her, or would he be more pre-occuppied with trying to get the Kingdom back in order after the War? Personally, I can see Aemond working on settling the Kingdoms affairs first as they certainly take priority before anything else, i.e. getting the lesser Houses and small folk in order, the physical damage done to the land and dealing with the shortages in funds and with food.

💎🐉🥀🪙👑💎🐉🥀💎👑🪙🐉🥀🌹

I hope these questions are an interesting read for you. Feel free to give your opinion on these as well as on my thoughts, whenever your get the chance.

Take care of yourself, and looking forward to your next update.🥰🤗✨

Wow, your message absolutely made my day! Glad to hear from you again!

Question one: You are absolutely right about theory one. Jenna still needed the reader for her plans so having her married off asap was important.

Question two: Don't worry about asking uncomfortable questions! And that is a fair question too. On that subject the reader's body reverted back to its state two years previously. The only thing that has changed are the marks on her wrists because those have magical significance.

Question three: The ending of book 2 may not end the way people are thinking it will end. But I will keep that very hush hush for now . 🤫😉 But I will say that in the event of the Greens winning in book 2 then the state of the realm would come first.

Thank you for your lovely message! I am feeling pretty well so expect a new chapter soon!

[lovethetasteofnothing]

Hi I seen ur requests are open so I wondering if you could possibly write sugar mommy hcs for Farah and/or valeria plz!😋

this is so good I just had to do it asap. i need drabbles for this too

Sugar mommy dynamics (HCs) - Valeria, Farah, Laswell

includes: kate laswell, farah karim, valeria garza (this is for the gay girls)

fem!reader, female anatomy, fem terms of endearment

warnings: nsfw content, dirty talk, spanking, use of straps/toys, fingering, degradation, consumption of alcohol,

word count: 1.8k, aprox. 600 words/ character

Valeria Garza (smut + fluff)

sugar mommy supreme

this woman is richer than god and her love language is gift giving

i don't see a better combo for a sugar baby

and she's a busy woman, she doesn't have time for relationships so this is right up her alley

i feel like it happened a little more or less by chance

like she was just talking about it one day to one of her men or he overheard her

and he subtly mentioned you because you were actively looking for a sugar mommy

neither of you knew what to expect at first, but after meeting her...

you went home and masturbated to a scenario about her

you were both on board with it being sexual from the get go so that worked out

makes you update a wishlist regularly and buys everything you put on it

sometimes you'd put an item there at night and wake up with the package at your door the next day

her card? black like her soul

and she just handed it to you one day like?

made you do a little runway show with all of the stuff you got with it

goes shopping with you to de-stress

she likes it more than you do, like this woman is making you try everything in the store if she wants to

makes you twirl so she can see the full outfit before smirking and nodding approvingly

holds the clothes for you while you're inside the store so you can browse easily

her guard carries the bags afterwards

this woman buys you designer on the regular

even though she doesn't wear it herself because it gets ruined on the job, she loves it on you

she took you to a fancy dinner with her business partners once

put you in a dress that costs more than your whole apartment (and a set of really nice lingerie underneath)

she made you cum all over the expensive fabric, squirming while she fingered you in the backseat of her car

"you're being so filthy, muñequita. por Dios, you even ruined your dress"

spanked you for being so "inconsiderate" even though it was her fault that you had a pool of cum dripping down your thighs

talking about spanking, she definitely spanks you with designer belts

like this woman does not care how much it costs

that piece of leather can pay off your rent for months

she'd probably pay off your student loans/ pay in advance for your rent and utilities

gives you a weekly allowance, sometimes buys you extra stuff if you've been good

her favorite thing to buy for you? lingerie and sex toys

makes you send her videos of you wearing them/using them on yourself

talking about texting, I think she'd leave you be most of the time since she's so busy

also enjoys the fact that you're a bare minimum engagement type of deal

she's just happy someone isn't pestering her 24/7, while she gets the advantages of making a girl squirt happy

she's constantly traveling and you don't see her for weeks sometimes

you asked her what she does because you got curious

"don't worry your pretty little head with useless details, cariño"

but she expects you to show up when she tells you to

on time, god forbid you're late

she had to wait for five minutes, you had to listen to her complain for hours

while her favorite strap stretched you out so good

makes you apologize and beg for forgiveness, promise you won't be late again

while bullying her strap into your already sensitive pussy, crying from the overstimulation as you whimper out promises and pathetic 'sorrys'

Farah Karim (fluff, i love Farah fluff okay?)

you still don't understand how it happened

like one day she was the cute regular customer at the coffee shop you worked at

and the next she was taking care of your rent and restocking your fridge

she just wanted to help you out since she had more than enough for herself

you didn't expect her to be that rich? because when she was a customer she was always dressed normal

don't get me wrong, she looked bomb, but she never gave off that 'i'm rich, look at me' energy

and she still doesn't, literally buys you the cutest stuff out of the kindness of her heart

keeps it casual, doesn't expect you to pay her back in any way

she can't help but smile when you kiss her cheek as a thank you after she hands you your allowance

doesn't want to pressure you into anything, she just likes the idea of taking care of someone

doordashes groceries for you because she knows you're too lazy to do them yourself

checks up on you every once in a while, mostly asks you to come over to keep her company and just chat

but you were renovating your apartament for a few days and you decided to stay with her

made sure you were nice and comfortable in the guest room and got everything you needed

also made sure to leave a few little gifts on your bed on your first day

got you some books and your favorite treats to keep you company while she's gone to work

and you realized you actually liked spending time with her and that her attention made you happy

so when she got home from work, two days before you were meant to leave you decided to speed things up a little

so surprised when you straddled her lap while she was talking

she thought you felt pressured to do it

she tried to start one of her monologues before you stopped her

you got so bold??? like just telling her you like her and it's not because she practically is your main source of income but because she's so nice as a person

baby got so touched she had to go smoke a cig to calm down

and now she's your girlfriend and sugar mommy

weekly dates (as long as she's not gone with work, makes up for it when she's back tho) to your favorite restaurants/locations in general

hates physical shopping but will power through for you

grabs whatever she thinks you'd look cute in and makes you try it

you got so so flustered when she gave you a revealing outfit to try on

she had already bought it in her head before you even tried it on

also loves to spoil you with little things

like getting you gorgeous flowers every week, making sure they're replaced before they wilt

ordering your favorite food for you when she works long nights

buying you the nicest skincare/makeup because she sees how your face lights up from it

i feel like she'd always bring a trinket home (uhaul lesbian things)

something that melts your heart too because she really pays attention to everything you say

like getting a box of pastries from that really luxurious bakery that's close to her office

buying you a new pair of sneakers because they match the outfit she got you last week

literally bought you a stunning outfit for your one year anniversary

dress, heels, jewelery everything designer because fuck it she loves spoiling you rotten

money comes on her card and leaves it, but you're a forever type of investment

Kate Laswell (fluff + smut)

canon mommy

also a sugar baby's dream

she paid for your drink (TF 141 went wild when they saw her)

so she pulled you to the side and paid for the rest of your consumption too and for your taxi back home

a bit sad when you told her you weren't looking for a relationship

so she did what's best and spoke to your capitalism rotten brain and asked to be your sugar mommy

you had shit to pay off okay? and she was hot and spoke to your mommy issues...

takes it slow until she doesn't anymore (with consent ofc!)

when she asked you to hang out at her place and drink some wine, you didn't think anything of it

that was until you were bent over the couch, hands pinned down as she scissored your pussy open

made a little bet with you, every minute you could last without having an orgasm, she'd give you your allowance's worth in cold hard cash

you were cocky until she stuck that fucking vibrator inside of you

she pushed it in so deep and made sure it was hitting that sweet spot that made your whole body weak

didn't even need to wait too long before you squirted on her expensive couch

you didn't get a lot of money that night....

and you lost some of your dignity too

made sure to send over a bouquet of flowers to your workplace to remind you of how expensive house cleaning got these days

so fucking cocky and flirty when she feels like it

but also a sweetheart

would regularly ask you if you were doing well and eating properly

has food delivered to your door everyday so she knows you have a balanced diet

makes you take so many days off from work until you just decide to quit

she's way too happy knowing that you're now so much more available for her use

entertains the idea of being your only source of income for a bit

"you can just relax, take it easy. i'll take care of things for you"

busy woman no. 2

but she'd never forget to take you out on a fancy date somewhere really expensive to remind you how nice she treats you

made sure you had everything you'd ever need and then fed into your little whims and fantasies

doesn't have enough time to spare for you to show her what you got but she'd be happy inside knowing you were entertained and pleased

offers to send you on your dream vacation since she can't go

you beg her for so long until she finds a way to take a short break and enjoy her time with you there

this woman is literally working in the hotel while you go out shopping

you give her a nice massage after she finishes most of it because she deserves it <3

gets room service the next day for the both of you and spends the rest of the day cuddling you and visiting places

she definitely didn't develop feelings and neither did you, no not at all

she's upfront about it because really, what's the point?

she's too old to play the whole 'chase' thing

so while you're enjoying the jacuzzi in your room and sipping on some wine, she decides that's the best moment

you nearly choke on the wine

but she looks so...<3 and you know she'd treat you so well...

CHAPTER - 7

Warm gazes of the sun poured in and illuminated the room, as a gentle breeze carried the air of summer. Laying beside him under the sheets you caressed his face with moments of the previous night playing in your brain.

"If anyone had told me this is what my geisha life would have come to…I would have ignored them and laughed"

Where is my life going?

Deep in thought, all memories of the past flooded your brain. It felt like a play of sorts, the only difference being that rather than a story with a happily ever after it had no route

It was like a wandering boat in the ocean-going where the wind led it.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Many days had passed, and now you were his lover, not just any lover, one of his most if not the only prized lover of the one and only Sukuna 'The King of Curses'.

Many things had happened, and many people had died. The Shogun was pressured by not only the Emperor but also the Big Sorcerer clans- Gojo, Zenin, Kamo, Fukiwara, Inumaki, etc to find who it was. You had stopped being a Geisha, as well he would have killed them if you had continued; accompanying him wherever he went in your Hikizuri holding your Wagasa above your head making the days pass by peacefully.

Recently you and Sukuna decided to go to a mountain. It was nothing too big, just a short walk to enjoy the scenery of summer, it was a bit isolated so that sorcerers would not track him down, he did not care- but well for your safety he kept an eye out.

"It sure is quite sunny today", you muttered as you walked beside him lifting the hem of your Hikizure to not stumble.

Unexpectedly he stops causing you to lift your head to where he is looking making your eyes widen in shock as the scene unfolding is unusual and it was quite peculiar.

Huge trees stood on both sides of an entrance, there were men bridal carrying their wives up the steep stone stairs, and many more couples shyly held hands.

"Hm…Interesting", he smirked curiously

As you and he stood looking at what was going on a couple approached you

"Excuse me? Is this the 'Sakurasou Ceremony' Shrine?", the man enthusiastically walked holding his wife's hand

"The, 'Sakurasou Ceremony', what is it?", intrigued you and Sukuna looked at the couple

"Oh! It's your first time here?"

"Yes"

"It's a ritual, where the husband carries his wife up the stairs of the shrine, it's a steep climb of 450 stairs, sincerely without stopping or any tricks! It's said that whoever completes this ritual has their souls forever tied together till the end of time!", chirping in the lady laughed

"It's a ritual that can only be done once in 100 years, to do it again you need to wait 100 years! Rarely have people been able to complete it because you cannot stop and even rest! once you start there is no stopping~"

Soon a voice is heard and the couple walks away happily, giggling and chatting

"Humans sure are unique, a ritual like this?", he laughed intrigued

"It is…can the people who complete it really have their souls… tied together forever?", giving him a small smile your eyes traced the stairs which looked never-ending in wonder

"Let's do it shall we?" with a smirk he grabbed your wrist

"W-Wait what!? Are you crazy!? we are not even married!", your eyes widened in shock as you implored him to think again, but he continued walking without hearing anything

"Sukuna!" with a scream you pulled your hand away from his grasp

"We are not…married, are you sure?" you gazed at him with your hands trembling protesting

"Does it matter? Is marriage needed for me to love you forever Y/n? And I am curious so what do you say?" Grabbing your wrist his eyes looked into yours unwaveringly

"Alright…", with a whisper you tried to hide your blush and your heart pounded in your lungs threatening to blow up.

This is crazy

Walking together you made your way to the entrance, your hand intertwined in his as the Sakura petals fell from the trees gracing a journey. Arriving at the entrance, the first step.

With a smirk he pulled you towards him, swooping you off your feet into his arms, with that the climb started; 450 steps non-stop.

Beads of sweat glistened and rolled down his forehead to his neck soaking him, the sun was scorching hot shining above both your heads with your hands wrapped around his neck.

Using his ability he would have completed this in no time but- to think he was obeying the rules and following the process of carrying you, him a god-like figure was obeying the rules of a mortal ritual.

With the sleeve of your Hikizuri, you wiped the sweat off his face with worry in your eyes.

"Sukuna…"

"What?" with a smirk, he kissed you

"No need to worry, what are you worried about?"

"I am The King of curses after all", picking up pace he continued climbing

Some hours passed and you both took the final step reaching the top, and completed the ritual. The priests were stunned to see someone being able to complete it and hurriedly rushed to offer glasses of water.

"To complete this you sir have gained my respect! haha!", one priest laughed as others chatted

He simply stood smugly beside you with pride bathing in the praises and his ego inflated to the moon.

His hands wrapped around your waist looking into your eyes, seeing him like this you could not help but smile and kiss him. It got a bit sensual as his hands started roaming around your body.

"So.." the head priest coughed, "How long have you two been married for?"

Before you could speak Sukuna spoke

"We are not married"

Causing the priests to gasp in shock as an old lady stepped in front of you both

"Would you like to get married?" with a warm smile she looked at you both holding her walking stick

"No-No it's fine" you chuckled nervously shaking your head

Your body shook, goosebumps spread across your skin causing your hair to stand on end. A shock so deep your bones felt rattled, feeling your legs give out hearing the words that came out of his mouth.

"Yes, we shall"

"W-Wait…Sukuna! I-"

The old lady went to fetch some items from the inner sanctum of the shrine with a smile as other priests began preparations for the ceremony.

"Y/n…I don't need marriage to know you are mine and I am yours, but..", he tucked a strand of your hair behind your ears smirking

"I found a wish list of yours, and one of them was getting married. Mortal rituals mean nothing to me but…since it's your wish I will grant it today"

Stunned feeling all air leave your lungs as you stood steeled on the spot looking at him; feeling time stop and the breeze coming to a halt.

Before you knew it the ritual had started

"Groom, do you Sukuna, marry this woman and become her partner. Will you in peaceful times, during sickness, love this person, respect this person, comfort this person, help this person, until death, do you promise to fulfill?"

"I do even beyond death"

"Bride, do you Y/n, marry this man and become his partner. Will you in peaceful times, during sickness, love this person, respect this person, comfort this person, help this person, until death, do you promise to fulfill?"

The shimmering sake poured from the Heavens down to Earth, overflowing with a fate sealed forever. No matter how many flowers bloom, wither, and turn to dust, this thread of fate has forever been tied even beyond the universe itself. "I do forever"

Footnotes: >Such a ritual does not exist in Japan the 'Sakurasou' is actually a flower meaning 'Eternal love' hence 'Sakurasou Ceremony Shrine' literally translates to 'Eternal Love Ceremony Shrine'. >But such a ritual does exist in India I stumbled across it as I was searching romantic rituals related to carrying brides and whatnot all over the world. It is their in a temple where the groom literally has to carry the bride 450 steps to reach the temple since many people are not able to do it 5 steps have been kept as minimum. If you wanna learn more just look it up lol I thought it was very romantic~ hehe~ I added some of my own stuff to the original ritual! So yeah! >The wedding vows written here are real that is done is Japanese traditional marriage~

Radioactive Wounds [2] - Old Wounds

Pairing: John Walker x Female Reader

Summary: 

When a new international threat pops up on the radar of the New Avengerz, they are forced to go undercover and need the help of an ex-Avenger. With one phone call from Bucky Barnes, you are reluctantly pulled back into the world of heroics. It is only one mission, but can your own reservations about the new team be pushed aside long enough to get them out alive? Or will it be too much for you when you're simply trying to move on from the past? Will you crack under the pressure or will something else?

Warnings: slow burn, one sided affections (you had a crush on Steve), rivals to lovers, explicit language

AN: Please don't expect such quick back to back releases. I wanted to get this one out asap since I know the first one didn't have a whole lot of actual John interactions. Also, as I was writing this chapter, I was starting to see some Bucky/reader possibilities. So let me know if you'd like this to become a John/Bucky/reader fic. I'd be more than happy to write the tension between the three of them. Still not beta'd. Sorry

You had found a small laboratory space across the city for rent that wasn’t going to cause you to go bankrupt, and was relatively easy to convert for your needs. The month paid for in cash, of course. You had even set up a separate space to house highly radioactive material just in case the Avengerz somehow got their hands on something dangerous. It felt like a safe assumption to make that they might go the hard route. Anything was possible with that band of misfits. Luckily, it seems like you didn’t have to actually worry about that as when you gave Bucky the address, he dropped off some uranium.

“What did you do? Go digging for this?” You ask as you turn the yellowish rock in your hand. Common uranium wasn’t dangerous to touch, but you still wore gloves just to be safe.

“Honestly, I didn’t ask. I sent Ava looking at she came back with this. Anything stronger probably would have put attention on us.”

The geiger counter in your other hand beeps softly as you pass it over the isotope. “Well, I didn’t need anything highly radioactive. So this will work great.” There’s a pause before you softly add, ”hopefully.”

“Hey.” Bucky is beside you in a second. “It’ll be fine. I believe in you.”

“Too bad belief has nothing to do with scientific facts. I just don’t want to disappoint you.”

“You never could,” he assures.

Being on the run had been hard, but sometimes you wonder if returning back to regular society was harder. At least when you were on the run, you had your friends. Out of your group, there was only you, Bucky, and Sam left. You thought being a scientist again would be easier compared to being a government fugitive. Instead, you just felt empty and alone.

You give Bucky a tightlipped smile. Not quite sure if you believe him or not. “Thanks,” you say weakly. “It’s late. I should probably head home. I’ll start working on this tomorrow after work.“ Placing the uranium safely inside the box it was brought in, you then reached into your pocket and pulled out a key along with the document from your lawyer you need them to sign. Offering both to Bucky. “Spare key. Just in case. And written confirmation that I am not a part of the New Avengerz. Everyone needs to sign.”

“You know you don’t have to do this alone, right?” Still, he takes the key and stuffs it into one of his jacket pockets.

“If the other option is the tower, I’d rather do it on my own. The hero life never really was for me. Things just got out of hand so quickly.”

Bucky nodded and turned to head out. “Keep me updated. I’d hate to wake up to a story about how a conservationist somehow succumbed to radiation.”

Your eyes roll at his teasing, and it actually manages a small smile from you. “Oh, shut up. Go home.”

~

It’s been nine days, and you still haven’t been able to affect the stupid uranium. You were convinced there was no way you could do what they thought you could. So you took your time heading to your secondary lab after your normal shift. Stopping to get dinner and drinks with some coworkers. You even considered going straight home and not even bothering with any tests today, but you made a promise. So you reluctantly made your way to your secret lab. Unlocking the door and turning the lights on, you’re greeted by John in his U.S. Agent uniform sitting in one of your rolling chairs.

“It’s past eight. I thought you’d be here sooner.” John states as he spins a pen between his fingers.

You dropped your bag on the floor near the door with a thud. “What are you doing here, Walker?”

“I came to check up on things. Bucky hasn’t given us any updates.”

“There are no updates,” you hiss. Making your way around the desk to attempt to tidy up some notes. “The uranium has had no changes since last week.”

He tosses the pen onto the desk and stands. “So you’re giving up. Just like that.”

You bristle at his words. How dare he- Your hand slams down flat in frustration. “Just like that?! I have been trying to make this work for over a week! Nothing is happening! So yeah, maybe I am giving up.”

“What great help you are,” John scoffs.

“Better than you! What, you just come here to show off your fancy government uniform? Screw you.”

John’s lips turn upward into a scowl as he looks down at you. “I came to make sure you were okay. We hadn’t heard from you in days.”

“Maybe that’s because I’ve been working nonstop, nights and weekends, to figure this out for you dickheads pretending to be heros! Yet I come in and get chastised by the Steve Rogers wannabe.”

“I’m not Steve Rogers,” he growls out. Stepping closer to you.

Either you don’t notice him getting closer, or you just don’t care in your rage. You’re too busy trying to distract yourself with the mess that is your work station. “Exactly. That’s the problem. But here you are, acting all high and mighty as if you didn’t ask me for help. At least the Avengers would appreciate me trying.”

“Is that what this is? You want the old Avengers back?” John is right behind you. Almost pinning you against the desk. Breath hot against your back. “In case you forgot, the ones that aren’t dead are so scattered that they’re only Avengers in memory. The world couldn’t wait for who was left to pick up the pieces and decide they wanted to be a team. So after what happened with the President, they got us.”

Fuming, you whipped around and pushed as hard as you could on his chest. He barely stepped back and that infuriated you even more. “Those were my friends! The name should have died with them. Instead, it’s being used to prop up misfits with questionable pasts as heroes. You’re not the Avengers.”

“Funny how you seem to hold the least contempt for Bucky, but he’s the one that’s done the worst out of any of us.”

Before you even realize it, you’re lifting your hand to smack him. However, John catches your wrist easily. Keeping you from making impact. “Don’t talk about him like that,” you say. "That wasn’t him. He never made those choices for himself. You made the choices to do the things you did. You ruined Steve’s legacy.”

John’s eyes narrow and he tugs you close by your wrist. “You listen here, princess. Steve’s legacy is doing just fine with Sam. What I did, destroyed me. Put me on everyone’s hit list. You think I don’t regret that? That I let them use and discard me like I was nothing? I’m trying to make penance here.”

“That doesn’t mean I’ll forgive you.”

“Well, you don’t have to,” he says as he lets go of your wrist and takes a few steps back. “But we do have to work together until this is over.”

“It is over,” you argue. “If I was going to be able to affect radiation, I’d be seeing changes by now. There’s nothing more to be done.”

John shrugs and starts moving towards the door. “You’ve been using one thing this whole time. Why not use a banana or something?”

“What?”

“Yeah, a banana. Don’t they have a tiny bit of radiation in them?”

“Sure, but why would I use a banana when I can’t change an isotope?”

John shrugged once more. “I don’t know, you’re the scientist. I would have thought you’d try multiple things by now. Not just a dumb rock. Unless you’re hoping to fail.”

The last part was an obvious challenge, but he wasn’t exactly wrong. Maybe you didn’t want to get back into the hero life so badly that you were unintentionally stopping yourself from finding a solution. Perhaps you wanted to tell Bucky that it wasn’t possible. That you weren’t this impossible person that could make anything happen.

John looks back at you one more time as he makes it to the door. “Don’t worry, I’ll give Bucky back the key, and no one saw me. So our secret truce is still secret.” With that, you were left alone in your thoughts.

There’s no point in doing any more tests for the night. You’re tired, and all you wanted to do was go to bed after that less than pleasant interaction. By the time you got home and settled in bed, your mind was still racing from your fight with John. Was it so wrong to want normalcy after having everything you could have ever dreamed up ripped from you in a moment? You had learned the hard way that heroes die much sooner than they should. Getting close to new people and losing them like that again wasn’t something you could handle. So you fell asleep thinking about those you had lost. Steve and his unwavering morals. Natasha and her steadfast support. Wanda and her big heart. Tony and his jokes. You missed them all, but you missed Steve the most. He had been the constant in your life for so many years that it was hard to move on now that he was gone.

First thing in the morning, you headed to the store and got five bunches of bananas. If anything, you were going to make the fight last night useful. Sometimes even stupid ideas warranted merit when you had nothing else left. A normal geiger counter wouldn’t pick up the radiation from a single banana, and there was no way you were going to buy a truck’s worth just to see if this little theory could work. So you had to call in a favor from an old coworker to get the most accurate radiation detector installed in your little makeshift lab. 

“What’s this all for?” They asked.

“I’m trying to see if there is any way to quicken the decay of radiation,” you say truthfully. Having already prepared the little white lie that came next. “There’s so much land that we can’t use because of nuclear fallout. If we could find a way to speed up the decaying process, we could give that land back. Use it for forests, or farms.”

“Look at you. Always thinking outside the box,” they praised.

By that evening, everything was all set and ready to go. You pulled a singular banana from one of the bunches and placed it in the glass containment area. It was almost comical; seeing an everyday food item where you had designed highly radioactive material to be held. Turning on the sensors, you jotted down the initial readings. Then, taking a deep breath, you focused in on the banana. Urging it to change in the way you wanted it. Picturing the radiation as a mist that slowly shrunk until it was almost non-existent. Glancing over at the readings, you were convinced it would be another failure until you caught sight of something. The potassium readings had changed. You had done something.

You do a few more tests to make sure it wasn’t some error or weird fluke. Still in the middle of fluctuating the potassium level at your whim when you text Bucky. ‘I think I had a breakthrough.’

Within the hour, you had the whole Avengerz team standing in your small lab. Everyone but Bucky, Bob, and Alexei looking like they were ready for a fight. Alexei was in his overly sponsored clothes that hurt your eyes to look at, Bucky in his casual clothes, and Bob wore an oversized sweater and sweatpants. Why the latter was even there, you didn’t know. He didn’t seem to go on missions with the others. Then there was Antonia staring at you like she was studying you. It made you uncomfortable. 

“What the fuck?” You rubbed your forehead as you felt a headache starting to form. “What about me not being associated with you all isn’t clicking?”

“I tried,” Bucky pleaded, “but they were determined. Wanted to see what you were doing.”

“Bananas? Really?” Yelena questioned as she tapped on the glass on the containment area. As if trying to rouse a sleeping snake.

“John’s actually,” you said quietly. 

“Oh! Johnny boy had a smart idea for once,” Ava teased. “That’s a surprise.”

“I have lots of good ideas!” John argued.

Ava rolled her eyes. “Sure.”

“Stop!” You took a deep breath to center yourself. This was all too much. “I changed the potassium amount in the banana. In turn changing the amount of radiation. I have been trying to directly affect the radiation of the uranium for a week and nothing. It’s not the radiation that I can affect. It’s the

“Living,” Antonia speaks up, and you all turn to look at her. Confusion clear on everyone’s face until she continues. “You affect live things. A rock is not alive. A banana is.”

“I- suppose that’s another way to put it,” you say slowly. 

“How is that useful for what you guys need to do?” Bob asks.

The silence in the room is deafening as you shift through your thoughts. “I don’t know,” you admit.

“Great,” John lets out. “So instead of being at zero, we’re at zero point one.”

For once, you don’t bite back at him. You simply look around the room before focusing on the banana. He was right. You had made one small step, but it wasn’t anywhere near as close to anything useful as you would have liked. You were still failing.

Blondie's MirrorCast Show:

Yeah. This was terrible. 8 unalive teenagers was truly sickening, not to mention that they were friends with Briar Beauty.. they pleaded for their lives then boom. Dropped dead. And Briar was having a thrill w/ this killing spree. Or that could be a stupid rumor going around. The students at Ever After High don't know their lives could be next on Briar's body count list.

"Well.. that's all for Blondie's MirrorCast show! Be sure to tune in next week for the update on the slasher~" Blondie blew a kiss at the screen, meanwhile Dexter was holding it he pressed the 'UPLOAD' button and a voice was heard from her tablet. Blondie smiled in satisfaction.

"Hopefully the students love this episode! Blood, sweat and tears." Blondie exaggerated. Dexter chuckled, giving her tablet back and walking to Chemythstry class. They'd have a project due on Wednesday and had to finish it asap.

While Ashlynn was on her way to Advanced Ballet, she left something in her locker. She'd twist the combinations until a weird feeling came out of nowhere.. the feeling like she was being watched and she was.. all of a sudden a tall girl was tapping her shoulder, she slowly turned around and jumped.

"Briar? What class should you be in right now." Ashlynn asked with a bit of nervousness in her voice. Briar really didn't feel like going to class today.. But since she was on the Honor Roll and had to stay on top of that, she sighed.

"Arts and Crafts." She mumbled, Ashlynn raised a eyebrow in confusion.

"Wait what? Speak up.."

"I said Arts and Crafts." The other girl nodded, biting her lip. She turned around back to face her locker, again. Twisting the combination and grabbing her book. "What class are you heading to?" Briar said in a curious tone. Ashlynn turned around face-to-face with Briar.

"Advanced Ballet, which I should be goin-" Briar's eyes widened and she grabbed Ashlynn's hand, kind of holding her back. "..My bad, attachment issues." Briar rolled her eyes, letting her hand go. She walked away after that. Ashlynn looked very dumbfounded.. but she shrugged it off and walked to Advanced Ballet now.

3:23 In the afternoon, Lizzie was in the library and she was reading a Romantic Novel, it was her favorite place to relax when classes were over, or stressing her out. She heard three familiar voices and raised a eyebrow in confusion.

"Why do we have to have to put all the books in alphabetical order?! Oh my Godmother this is gonna take ages.." Madeline leaned against the bookshelf, trying to catch her breath. Apple gave her a frown, crossing her arms.

"At least the Step-Sisters assigned us three to do this, and we're willing to finish it by anything means." Apple patted Madeline's shoulder, smiling. Raven was listening to Tailor Quick in her headphones, she took them out and gave an agreement nod. "Yeah, Mads! It's not that bad."

Lizzie closed her book and walked to the girls, still with that confusion written on her face. "What did you guys do?"

"Okay, so.. Me, Raven and Mads here accidentally- like I said, accidentally threw a hextbook at Faybelle because she was being mean to Madeline and we.. ended up here. But Raven and Madeline insisted on helping me put these books in alphabetical order." She smiled sheepishly. Lizzie sighed disappointingly.

"Oh my Grimm, Apple.. well, since I'm here? I'll help you out. On the other hand, at least 4 is better than 3, right?"

"That's Hat-tastic! Thank you so much Liz!" Madeline smiling, hugging her. Lizzie smiled and squeezed her back. Few minutes later they were exhausted. "Let's get a drink or snack.. I'm tired." Raven stood up and walked out, the other girls followed behind her.

---

7:12, evening.. The night of Briar's party. Music was blasting, alcoholics were getting drunk out their minds. Ashlynn was sitting on the nearby couch, she was evidently forced to be here, she could be in her dorm, sleeping. But nope, stuck here with underaged, drunk teenagers. Farrah came up to her, she wasn't the least sober.

"Lemme guess, forced to attend?"

"Obviously." Ashlynn held the red cup of Rum, she didn't dare to drink it because Briar might've spiked it or tried to drug her. She sat it on the nearby table, crossing her arms. "What's wrong?" Farrah asked her, she shook her head, walking to the bathroom.

Briar and Cupid were talking by the kitchen counter. It was a friendly conversation between them until it got not-so friendly.. few minutes later Briar noticed Cupid talking to Ashlynn on the couch, just coming back from the bathroom. She spotted them and Briar's eyes had fire behind them. She silently raged in her head, eye twitching and all. Clenching and unclenching her fists, she calmed down and called Cupid over again.

Handing her a special drink. (The drink was spiked, she got drugged..) Few seconds after drinking Cupid felt lightheaded, her body temperature felt very hot. Her mind was felt with dizziness & fuzziness..

"Is my vision going black? Briar? What'd you do-" before she could speak again, she was drugged out her mind. She collapsed on the cold, freezing ground. Briar smugly smiled at her unconscious body, stepping over her and walking to Ashlynn.

"Ashh! I missed you so much!" Briar squeezed her a little bit too hard, her ribcage felt it was gonna break. Ashlynn panicked, trying to wiggle herself out. Finally letting her to get a grasp of air. She looked over at her untouched cup, Briar crossed her arms and shook her head.

"You didn't drink it.." Ashlynn scrunched up her face. "First of all, you might've tried to drug me? I don't even drink Rum to begin with." Briar rolled her eyes, locking eyes with Ashlynn. "Buzzkill, let loose for once! You only live once upon a time." Briar shrugged. Ashlynn nodded in a 'no' gesture and the other girl frowned.

"Fine." Cedar, who attended the party saw Cupid. Hand over her mouth so she doesn't end up throwing up, she wobbled backwards and ran to Briar.

"Briar! I- I saw Cupid, she's just laying there! Do you know what happened?!" Cedar was so.. easy to manipulate. Does she realized that Briar Beauty is the one who drugged Cupid? Ashlynn raised a eyebrow, hand on Briar's shoulder. Cedar and Briar were now face-to-face.

"No, sorry Cedar.. when I was talking to her she just- passed out? Maybe she was overheated." Lies. Briar gave a 'innocent' look.

"Check to see if she still has a pluse, CPR. Anything." Ashlynn chimed in, Briar rolled her eyes at Ashlynn's suggestion, no doubt that was gonna work.

"Okay.." Cedar smiled nervously. Briar turned back around to face her girlfriend. Ashlynn yanked her hand and took her to a far-away place from the party.

"I know what happened to those 8 teenagers." Ashlynn blurted out, breathing slowly. "Why would you- That's so sick. I can't even see myself to be in public with you!"

Briar's eyes widened. How did Ashlynn know that it was her? Without any DNA evidence? "I have.. no part in this. Just because Blondie's MirrorCast Show predicts everything? Doesn't mean I'm the killer." Ashlynn nodded her head in a 'yes, you are' gesture.

Briar felt her head, twitching with malfunctioning electronic circuits. How could her own partner not believe what she has to say? It was driving her insane.

"I need DNA from your little weapons. I still don't believe any shit your saying right now, Bri! Not to mention those 8 people were your friends-"

"We're past that. Okay? My brain is drowning in regret, guilt. Like I said before, it's not true. If you don't believe me? Let's go through my weapons stashed in my.. closet and see if there's DNA." Ash was still skeptical about this, she followed behind her in her dorm. She placed the wooden box on her side (Briar) of the bed, opening it up.

Ashlynn's eyes widened, holding a blade.. Who did she assassinate with a blade? Pretty useless weapon if you asked me.

Briar held the knife in her hand, nervousness dripping to her face to her heart. This exact weapon she was holding had DNA on it. There was nothing she could do, literally nothing. She couldn't hide it now, she's fucked.

Ashlynn lifted it up and noticed the dusty fingerprints, which looked which similar to Briar's hands. She had to compare them first, then she knew it.

Ashlynn shook her head rapidly, dropping her shoulders to release her stress. Putting the knife back in the box, and sitting on the edge of the bed. Briar placed the box back in her closet and looked at Ash with a worried expression.

"You're probably still ashamed of.. you know, dating a psychopath? Don't blame you either." The other girl was zoned out, her saying was going in one ear and out the other.

Ashlynn felt like she was going into a huge puddle of blood, not her blood exactly, someone else's.

Even though she would never hurt a fly or human, she was driven to murderousr tendencies, she was so influenced by Briar's terrible behavior that she became her puppy, puppet.

Briar noticed that she was zoned out and tapped her shoulder, this was the second time this made her jump in fear.

"You have to stop doing that." Ashlynn rolled her eyes, but playfully. She smiled and stood up, looking at Briar. "Back to the party now..? I'm kind of- still, scared." Briar frowned, she stood up and cupped her cheeks, titling her head a few inches away from her lips.

"Scared of me right? Don't worry.. I'm not gonna kill you. If you don't end up wrongdoing me." Briar kissed her passionately, still in a good mood. She dragged Ashlynn back to the party and sat her on the couch, looking for Cedar. She noticed her near the kitchen counter and ran to her, whispering. "Where's Cupid's body.."

Cedar furrowed her eyebrows. "In the trashcan, behind the school.. Her body was starting to smell so, so bad." Briar sighed in relief. Filling two cups up with Rum, one cup for her and another one for Ashlynn, even though she told her she doesn't drink it.

"Here, for you." Briar handed her the rum, sighing and drinking it. Ashlynn chugged the whole thing in 2 seconds. "That actually tastes good.. I don't know why I was so hesitant to try it." Ashlynn shrugged, Briar nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I had at least 3 cups and I'm starting to sober down.. No more alcohol for me." Ashlynn giggled and they both did cheers and enjoyed the party.

Few hours later and Ashlynn was in the bathroom, in her dorm room throwing up. Briar kneeled down and soothed her shoulders, pampering her. "Never again.. your a bad influence on me, Briarr.." Ashlynn whining and drunkenly. Wiping her mouth with a towel, staying by the toilet in-case she ends up disgorging again. "Like I said before, you only live once upon a life time." Briar recalled, winking.

Hi! I absolutely loved the demo of your game—it was amazing! I'm excited to see more of it. I have two questions: First, how would Garret or Teagan react if they were in a room full of yanderes with y/n? Second, I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but I'm genuinely curious—how long does it usually take to release a new episode? I'm really looking forward to continuing the game, and I appreciate all the hard work you put into it. I hope I'm not rushing anyone, and I'm truly sorry if it comes off that way. Thank you so much for reading!

Thank you so much for your ask! I'll go ahead and answer your second question first before moving onto the first one! lol

I wanted to start off by thanking you for asking your question in a kind and respectful way, I completely understand where you're coming from and I don't take any offense to it what so ever!

I know I really appreciate transparency when it comes to games/ things I'm a fan of, so I want to do what I can to make sure I'm as honest and upfront with you all as possible.

So I went through my logs and did the math. Day 1 took me about 6 months from start to finish and Day 2 took me almost a full year from start to finish. That being said, Day 1 was 11k words and Day 2 was 24.5k words total. So given the fact that Day 2 was more than twice as long as Day 1, I can see why it took double the time as Day 1. (That and I learned how to add animation into Renpy and spent a little over a month going down that rabbit hole and making a few animations for the game. I also spent some time refining Day 1 while working on Day 2 so that probably made the Day 2 release take longer than it would have otherwise)

The reason why it takes as long as it does is because I'm making this game entirely by myself. That includes the script, all of the art assets, the programming, the audio, and not to mention all of the social media, and patreon content.

On top of that I also have a pretty steady stream of freelance work that usually equals to about 30-50 hours a week. I've burnt myself out in the past and I'm trying to keep a sustainable pace where I'm making progress on CHVN but I'm also enjoying life and taking breaks as needed.

That being said, I do post monthly game updates on my patreon to discuss what I've finished that month, what I have left, and what the current word count is. ( ATM it's longer than Day 1 and I still have a lot planned haha)

I also think it's worth mentioning that this is my first game and I'm learning how to do everything from scratch. My background is in the visual arts so programming and audio stuff is completely foreign to me. That being said, I'm stubborn as hell and for better or for worse once I put my mind to something, I'll get it done one way or another.

Hopefully that answers your question! Once I finish up the script portion of Day 3, I can give a better estimate of how long it'll take me, but until then I really have no idea when the actual release date will be.

Now, onto the easier/ fun part of your question! lol

Garret would play nice at first, however he would make sure that he was never more than a step away from your side. He doesn't trust anyone to behave themselves around you, especially if they're anything like him.

Teagan on the other hand would immediately try to get you to leave the room. They don't deal well with competition and would want to remove you from the situation asap. If you refused/ couldn't leave with them, then they would make sure to talk shit about all of the other Yandere's and taint your view of them. While it would put an obvious target on their own back, at least they'd know you wouldn't talk to or go off with them out of your own free will.

Thank you again for all of your support! I really appreciate it and I can only hope that the next update is worth the wait!

[everything-laito]

Hey, so, I always get dragged back to your blog because I love your analysis, it's always super interesting to me (in general I get dragged back to the Diabolik lovers fandom again and again because I find how twisted and tragic everyone's backstories are so interesting) but anyways.

I was reading through your analysis master post and saw your one on 'What Laito means by falling' and I know what laito says and what he means are often very different and I don't disagree with what you said (I think I'm just expanding on it if anything) But literature is a fickle thing and I am a sucker for analysis and I just had to propose this idea.

I had to read Porphyria's Lover by Robert Browning for school (which in itself is a hella twisted poem). It's written in the victorian era but a quote from it is 'and laid her soiled gloves by, untied/her hat and let the damp hair fall'

There were a lot of words like 'soiled' and 'fall' in the poem, which interestingly enough, my teacher linked to the concept of a fallen woman. And stealing the definition from Wikipedia because I don't think I can expand on it much:

"Fallen woman" is an archaic term which was used to describe a woman who has "lost her innocence", and fallen from the grace of God. In 19th-century Britain especially, the meaning came to be closely associated with the loss or surrender of a woman's chastity[2] and with female promiscuity. [...]  Used when society offered few employment opportunities for women in times of crisis or hardship, the term was often more specifically associated with prostitution, which was regarded as both cause and effect of a woman being "fallen". 

(There's also stuff on there about Eve being the prototypical fallen woman for eating the forbidden fruit)

Anyway, my point is that Laito's definition of fallen could have religious connotations especially as he loves to mock Yui's ardent faith in God---the fact that Yui is religious in the first place (the fact that she is 'eve')

As you said before, it isn't about sex but about the fact that Yui is breaking all her morals and beliefs by giving into her lust (or whatever the case may be with Laito being as manipulative as he is). Laito making her (abusing, manipulating, gaslighting) succumb to these basal desires and submitting herself to his whims for pleasure and forsaking God (in the same way prostitution seems to be viewed in the victorian era) is him making her fall because it is something shameful and disgraceful.

The 'fallen woman' idea, if the 'fall' laito refers to is in fact also linked to his trauma and what Cordelia did to him, could also suggest that he is ashamed or feels shame towards what happened to him (which I believe is a common feeling towards victims?? but I'm truly not knowledgeable enough to say anything with any certainty)

Anyway, I just wanted to share for better or worse, to be confirmed or denied, because leaving it unattended in my brain is no good. I don't know whether it could count or would even be applicable but I hope it's at least interesting.

OH THIS IS SO FUCKING SICK THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE TIME INTO WRITING THIS!!!!! THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!! adding the link to this post in my Yui analysis asap :)

I really need to update my masterpost in general, but this will be going into the analysis section >:)

as for the victim feeling shame of what happened to them; yeah that's a typical common feeling amongst victims, and I know I have/had gone through that same feeling as well; brains be stupid sometimes goddamb

tagging @nam00n because she loves literature and Laito (love you, Bee!!!!)

Hi friends! We have a couple of updates to share. 

Firstly, Seraj needs more than $3,300 to pull off his final Ramadan project before Eid. He wants to distribute it on the last day of Ramadan, which is in 3 days, so we need to get to $20k ASAP! 

contribute at bit.ly/serajfund

The financial situation in Rah Fah continues to decline, with intermediaries taking a 15-17% cut when people get cash out. He is so hopeful that this project will work out! Helping others and bringing smiles to faces–especially those of children–is clearly one of Seraj’s passions. 

Here are the project details, all thought up by Seraj himself. He has amazing ideas! 125-130 cash envelopes containing either 50 or 100 shekels each. Seraj will distribute them based on how large each family is. Seraj will also make 40 envelopes for kids, each containing 20 shekels. 

Currently, Seraj’s plan is to distribute his envelopes on the last day of Ramadan, before Eid al-Fitr. Last time he tried to print something, the printer had no electricity. He has a plan this time for checking in early to make sure he has a chance to print. 

Working with Seraj on his mutual aid projects has been such a tangible reminder that we reject the notion of charity (which is very rooted in the white savior complex and pity of Black and Brown folx), and even allyship (not enough action)  instead are partners and collaborators with Seraj self directing, leading us, and constantly motivating us to to get to the next goal so he can achieve his vision! 

 Because Seraj and his family have managed to survive, he’s been able to give back. No NGOs or governments, just a 21-year-old young man helping as many of his neighbors as he can. In his words, “This is my duty, sisters, as long as I can help! Why don't I do that!”

Seraj is genuinely a superstar to everyone on our team. His generosity is humbling to us. We have so much to learn from Pale-eh -steinians. 

Secondly, we have a date for our upcoming virtual dance party! Mark your calendars for Monday, April 29th in the evening (Pacific time). Sky is hosting this event to hype up our virtual auction for Seraj. Follow Sky on Instagram for more details @rebirthgarments or @radicalvisibilitycollective

If you’d still like to contribute items to the auction, go to bit.ly/fundraiserforseraj ! Seraj’s Support Soirée would like to offer an item or service for every budget. And we encourage a wide variety of dough-nation types! While many of them will be creative objects, they do not have to be.

Some examples:

a book you love or wrote

a framed photograph

a massage (local area bidders only)

a meditation session

a piñata

a tarot reading

a t-shirt you love or designed

stickers

a virtual lesson on social media marketing

visual art

a virtual dance lesson

Your items will be listed this week on Give Butter! (stay tuned for details!) 

Our support soiree dance party will hype up the auction featuring selections from the archives of Rebirth Garments fashion performances while you can dance with Sky!

Thank you so much for being here for Seraj. He and his family are so deeply grateful for all of the ways folks have supported them and partnered with them to help others. And our team is so thankful for how you all have stepped up. Please share and contribute! 

-Written by my team member Bex with additions by me!

To the Sinners reading "Oh Deer"

It's been a while my little deerlings! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

I just wanted to give an update as I realize I've been pretty quiet since posting chapter 10. Can I just say.

The COMMENTS I've been getting??! ( •̯́ v •̯̀) Y'all are too sweet, holy shit. I've been reading them and re-reading them and just squealing like a schoolgirl into my pillow while kicking my feet around like a lil silly billy. THANK YOU SO MUCH if you've written to me, I fucking love getting comments and the ones I've gotten as of recent are just (இ﹏இ`｡)

Perfection. Thank you ꨄ I promise to respond to each and every one! (❀´ ˘ `❀) I also want to apologize for the delay in the next chapter. That last one really knocked the wind out of me and I just needed a break. Not only that, but work has picked up recently and.... I've recently started seeing someone (⸝⸝๑ ̫ ๑⸝⸝⸝) (y'all pray for me cause he's really nice and we share so many common interests and I just... really want this to go well)

So long story short my life has just been a bit of a whirlwind recently haha! But I've still been trying to tippy tap when I can. I can't say when I'll post the next chapter, maybe in a week or two, but I can assure you it's in the works!

Thank you so so much for your love and patience and support! I'm truly honoured people take the time to read my lil story and have been so kind. Hopefully I can get this next chapter out asap! Love y'all to Hell and back! ♡〜٩( ˃▿˂ )۶〜♡

[lover-of-skellies]

Don’t know if you’re still doing this but has anyone asked about inks smoochability?

It's been a year since I've done anything with the smoochability ratings, but hey. There were a few skeletons I hadn't done this for, and Ink was one of them, so I figured I might as well :P

All my logic is under the cut if you wanna look at it, but at the end of the day, Ink gets a smoochability rating of 9. He's one of the safer options, surprisingly enough, so if you'd like to smooch him, go right on ahead. Just be prepared; he could end up accidentally nipping or throwing up ink on you if you get him too excited

1) Is Ink's mouth dangerous at all? I don't believe it would be. His teeth are flat and standard, though I've seen some depictions of him that had little fangs, too. There are no parasites in there, no mysterious diseases/viruses you could catch, and a kiss wouldn't kill you; in fact, the worst thing that could happen would be Ink getting too excited and throwing up ink in your mouth and on you in general. While that's incredibly gross to think about, that's more of a health hazard than a danger factor, since if you kiss him, you'll at least leave without having any blood drawn. So, 2 points for safety

2) Would he bite? Not intentionally. While he IS like adhd incarnate and while he DOES do things that are a bit impulsive (see: everything involving taunting Error), I would assume he knows that biting people is bad. There is a chance that he might bite accidentally if startled, but for the most part, no, I don't see him being a biter. 2 points for not munching on anyone's lips

3) Are there any health hazards to the smoocher? Uhhhh yeah. It's the fact that if he gets too excited, he vomits ink. That in and of itself is gross, but not overly harmful. Then again though, there are different types of ink that exist, and we don't know what specific type he vomits. The impact that accidentally swallowing it might have on a human person could vary, depending on what exactly the type is. Worst case scenario, it's toxic and you need your stomach pumped asap to get it out, and best case scenario, it's yuckydisgusting and only makes you slightly sick for a short amount of time. The hazard level is up for debate here, but I'll still give him at least 1 point since death is not a guaranteed outcome

4) Does he have a sympathetic backstory? Sort of?? I know he was from an incomplete AU and was sorta. Left alone in the vast nothingness, until creators' feelings started raining down on him and he started experimenting with them. It'd really suck to be the only vaguely self aware person from your home, and then be alone eventually, surrounded by nothingness, so that does give me at least a little sympathy. So,, 1 point. It's very unfortunate, but it's not sad enough that I feel like crying over it

5) Does he deserve a smooch? Ehhhh, this one is up for debate. Personally, I'd say no, since from what I know and remember of his canon story, he never really did anything that would make him deserving of a smooch. 1 point, since maybe under the right circumstances he'd be deserving, but as is, I'm not really feeling it

6) Is Ink cute or cool? In a way, yeah, he could be considered cute and cool. He's cute in the "small guy with 0 thoughts behind those eyes" sense, and then he's cool design-wise. His first design was interesting and unique, but it had a lot going on, and then his updated design has less going on visually, but it's still pretty interesting and unique. If I was shown a silhouette of him, I'd be able to identify who he was, so. 2 points

When we add up all of our points and take everything into consideration, Ink is a 9 out of 12 :P he's a safer option, but even then, he could still unintentionally give you a nasty surprise. This is the part where I'd add in a scenario to kinda lay out how it'd go, but like. It's hot here. I'm feeling lazy, and thinking is Hard right now. I have a first kiss master list in my pinned post, which could be something to consider checking out if you're curious at all!

[magical-regical]

Y'all okay,

I started playing 'What in Hell is Bad', it's basically an 18+ version of 'Obey Me' and yea this game is spicy.

Anyway, big surprise, out of all the sexy demons I've interacted with so far, two of them I've done the sideways tango with, my favorite character is this guy

Who's not even a demon. He's the childhood best friend character.

But plot wise he takes care of the MC before the whole demon thing, knows how to cook, and I'm pretty sure was ready to search through the entire world to find them when they had to take and extended visit to Hell.

What more could you want in a man? A decent dic— according to MC he has that too so check mate.

More thoughts about the game itself under the cut if you're interested.

I just finished chapter one, and can I just say this game is hard, in every sense of the word.

It's a new game by a smaller developer so it's full of bugs but I've heard the devs do try their best to patch them ASAP so I don't hold that against them. Aside from my boy Satan not hitting water enemies, even though devs said they patched that a few updates ago, it's mostly QoL improvements that can be made to make the game just overall more enjoyable including but not limited to:

A pity system? Maybe? I don't know if this game has pity or not on their gacha machines and if they do I'd like to know how screwed I am because I have no self-control and have been doing single pulls on the hot boy gacha instead of saving up and doing 10-pulls so I wanna know if it's better to do 10-pulls or if it literally makes no difference because I just go until I hit pity like in arknights.

Skipping the cut scene that plays when you gacha because I swear that's one of the main reasons you can't play this game in public no matter how discreet you try to be lmao

Opening multiple chests at once and levelling up multiple times in one go because as far as I know, right now you need to click one by one for both of these.

Maybe a thing where it just takes you to the part of the story you're currently in instead of making you click through chapter select and scrolling to it.

A shortcut button to the gacha screen, secret club, and dark sanctuary (resource grind stages). They're core aspects of the game yet you can't get to them without going through the home screen.

Auto deploy and auto play for the resource grinding stages

Setting an L-rank character (side note, it's really funny that the highest rank of cards is rank 'L') as your homescreen boi is really awkward because it always ends up zoomed in on one part so you can't actually see the full boi.

This last one I feel like is just a personal thing but why is it three red keys per single pull for the hot boy gacha? Three just feels like such a random number lmao. Ig they mostly want you to use the red gems, which are grind-able to some extent, to buy the keys from the store.

Overall tho, I enjoy it. I like the tower defense like combat system and being able to move units around is actually pretty fun. So yea give it a try, see if it's your cup of tea.
