You discover a weirdly well-preserved greenhouse at the back of your spooky Airbnb. Are you planting herbs 🌿 or... herbs 😏?
Beginning / Previous / Next
Micah: How was work?
Naomi: I'm... still processing it. Hey, I've got an idea for those empty planters.
Now, where did I stash those little guys?
Micah: Naomi!
Naomi: What?
Micah: We can't grow... those kind of plants.
Naomi: Why not?
Micah: It's illegal!
Naomi: [snorts] Newsflash, Goody Two Shoes: it's been legal for years.
Micah: It - it's immoral!
Naomi: [rolls eyes] God, you're so uptight! Did you forget we were raised by hippies? That snobby university really did a number on you.
Micah: At least I'm trying to make something of myself — unlike some people.

NSFW Alphabet: Naomi & Astarion Edition
Tumblr media
Incredible art above by the amazing @arcandoria!
Thank you so much for the tags @pinkberrytea and @nyx-knox!! 💜
NSFW Alphabet
Tagging in turn: @blackjackkent, @pursuitseternal, @brain-rot-central, @bananasfosterparent, @zekeen,
@snowfolly , @kaeoticneutral , @shinyredgloss , @starryjuicebox , @wilteddreamsofbaldursgate and whoever else sees this and would like to do it!
Completing for my dearest Naomi and Astarion, mostly for her ending with spawn Astarion, with some sprinkling of her ending with ascended Astarion, too, if it's markedly different than the other answers.
A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)
Initially, it's nonexistent, but once their relationship becomes something real, Astarion puts a large effort into aftercare and really relishes in it. It's not something he has much experience in, but knows about in theory, and is eager to explore that with a partner he truly cares for. Naomi follows his lead on this. Often, they're simply quiet and holding each other, stroking the other's hair or back. Soft forehead kisses. They're very tender about it. The rest of the world might as well not exist (and Astarion will get very crabby if he feels cuddle time has been interrupted/cut short).
B = Body part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Both are somewhat similar about the other: hands/wrists, or throat/lips.
Astarion became enamored with Naomi's hands watching her play the fiddle, and seeing how expertly her wrist flexes when playing, or wielding a rapier. He adores having her hands in his hair, gently scraping his scalp. And loves sucking soft smooches to her inner wrist, or gently cradling it in his own hands while he has a quick snack.
Similarly, Naomi's gotten caught staring a few dozen times at his hands as he works a lock open. She goes instantly weak if he puts his hand on her cheek.
They're both obsessed with each other's little groans and noises during sex, and feeling the rumble in the other's throat/on the other's lips while they're pleasuring their partner is a massive turn on to them both.
C = Cum (Where does your muse prefer to cum/have someone cum?)
Inside for both. I think for Astarion, besides just feeling too good to want to pull away when he's on the edge, it feels satisfying in a primal sense. He enjoys marking his partner, he enjoys knowing Naomi smells like him after (to the point where others like Halsin will comment on it). For Naomi, she enjoys the sort of inverse of that; after their noncommittal start, it feels good to her to know that he's not pulling away anymore, including in their most intimate moments.
D = Dirty secret (Pretty self explanatory: a dirty secret of theirs)
Neither of these are well-kept secrets. Naomi often sassed Astarion in the beginning, and thought to herself/gave of the impression that she saw right through his seduction routine. She did see through it, but even so, she was gone for him basically at start. Even later in their relationship, even though Astarion caught on to that almost immediately, Naomi has a hard time admitting how much he hooked her in off the bat (in large part because she felt/feels she knew better than to fall for him so easily).
Naomi comments on the boner he pops immediately after feeding from her for the first time. Astarion gets much better at concealing it, but this happen essentially every time he feeds from her and often just when he's anticipating feeding from her. Naomi doesn't know/realize how often of an occurrence it is and later in their relationship, assumes it's because he's more comfortable. He's thankful it doesn't seem to happen when he feeds from others.
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)
Of course, we know Astarion is very experienced, and the reason why :( Naomi had a few hook-ups/casual sex relationships, but only one 'serious' relationship prior to him that ended badly and hit her pretty hard. She's bi and had previously had sex with both women and men, but mostly women. Prior to Astarion, she knew she was bi, but assumed she had a preference for women. Like Astarion, though to a much less severe degree, she feels less sure about how to be in a more committed relationship than a purely sexual one.
F = Favorite position (This goes without saying)
I'm a part of the 'Astarion loves missionary' mindset. I see him as having a preference for being on top, having his partner perfectly pinned beneath him, so he can soak in every bit of their blissed out expression, and also feel in control of the moment. Conveniently, Naomi loves any position that has her pinned by him.
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment? Are they humorous? etc.)
Banter/goofiness comes into play the longer they're together. I see it as something somewhat foreign to Astarion who performed so much intimacy, but he comes to enjoy making Naomi giggle and then stealing her breath away by nibbling her ear in playful reproach. And Naomi likes to see if she can can likewise get him to break even when he's in the mood for a passionate evening. As a way to reinforce they're having fun, first and foremost.
When Astarion has her green light and he's in the moment, though, he doesn't want to be pulled out of it, and the silliness is usually reserved more for foreplay/before things are too heavy and heated.
H = Hair (How well groomed are they? Does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Little to no body hair for either of them, both being elven. Astarion is very particular about his hair. Naomi prefers to keep hers up in a bun or braided away most of the time, but he loves pulling it free when they're intimate, and she lets him.
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment? The romantic aspect)
Absolutely in their own little happy universe. Passionate and lost in each other.
J = Jack off (Masturbation headcanon)
As many tend to headcanon, Astarion gets a massive boner every time he feeds from Naomi and masturbates almost every time he does. Part of why he's careful not to wake her when he feeds is because he doesn't want her to know this happens literally every time. He sneaks away after he's fed to take care of himself, but he's a bit embarrassed by how easily and predictably it happens. But, it's also step one to his reclaiming his own sexuality. I don't see him as one who masturbated much prior to this, and that he actually wants to/it feels good is a huge change for him.
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)
Astarion likes playing the role of a service dom, and though it's more his kink than hers, Naomi enjoys playing her part and letting him pamper her, too. Astarion is also partial to tying her up, which she's down for. On Naomi's end, she loves praise and has it bad for Astarion's voice. He's more than happy to take full advantage of that.
L = Location (Favorite places to do the do)
I imagine spawn Astarion as anywhere and everywhere. Ascended is a little more picky, and likes to be especially over the top (like, uh, on top of a grand piano). Naomi is pretty much down for the ride (heh) in either case.
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going?)
It honestly doesn't take much at all. They're down bad for each other and sometimes it's just one steamy look that gets them revved. Both love seeing the others' skills in action and tend to get very turned on after fights or other moments that show off their abilities (like talking an enemy into offing themselves, picking an especially hard lock, Naomi playing the fiddle, etc.)
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
Astarion won't do collars/leashes/degradation, and is generally not inclined to be very subby (maybe once every few years or so). He doesn't mind being spanked, or being nibbled back, but generally doesn't care for a lot of pain with his pleasure. Neither are keen on involving other partners in their intimacy. Ascended Astarion and consort Naomi do occasionally invite others to their bed, but it's rare, and none live tell of it.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Naomi loves receiving. Astarion loves giving. He's a little less comfortable receiving, but does enjoy it occasionally. Naomi's prior sexual experiences were mostly with women, but Astarion is very turned on by the the idea of teaching her how he likes to be pleasured (as he's discovering that for himself, too). She's a fast learner.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
It's a mix that usually starts slow and sensual and builds into fast and rough.
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
I don't see either of them as big fans of quickies. Astarion will rile her up relentlessly, but would rather wait to actually act on his intentions for the opportune moment where they can sneak away and get lost in each other properly. He likes to build anticipation. Even hot and bothered, Naomi wants the romance and the extended foreplay of being made to wait sometimes.
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment? Do they take risks? etc.)
Both are very much down to experiment. I see every iteration of them as gothic freaks doing things like banging in cemeteries or on the ceiling after spawn Astarion figures out that yes, he can actually spider climb. Ascended Astarion and Naomi are similar, but far more lavish about it. Every iteration of them also enjoys the riskiness of semi-public sex, and dabbling in a little hunter/prey type CNC scenes.
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for? How long do they last?)
They can and do go on for quite a while. Astarion often intentionally shortens his refractory period by having a quick little blood snack that goes straight where he needs it to 🤭Once he's comfortable with sex again, he savors every bit of his lover, and wants to stay stuck in those feelings for as long as he can.
Naomi is down, but often tires before him, and playfully insists he must carry her if he's going to insist on making her legs limp 😆 Occasionally he obliges (bridal style when he's feeling sweet, or over the shoulder if he's feeling a little sassy/playful).
T = Toys (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
Some! Astarion occasionally likes to be pegged (as a power bottom), so they have a strap. Naomi enjoys some sensation play, which leads to use of some mundane items in the bedroom (example - a hairbrush that feels nice and tingly when he lightly drags it down her back, or that he uses for light spanking).
U = Unfair (How much they like to tease)
Astarion is on another level with this hehe. He's adores openly teasing. Naomi is more the quiet and subtle type. Think: Oops, did my shirt just happen to hang over my shoulder and expose my neck while I stretch?? She'll slightly gaslight him and pretend she's doing nothing of the sort (it's part of their games and he loves it).
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Naomi is the type to make a lot of pleased or pleading whimpers/softer moans, but tends to pitch louder when she comes. Astarion makes a lot of low grunts and guttural rumbles, or flat out growls. He loves whispering all sorts of filthy and sweet nothings into her ear.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
With ascended Astarion, Naomi is his vampire bride and not just his spawn. They use their telepathic/mental link constantly for all sorts of sexy shenanigans, but particularly to enhance sensation during the act itself. Sex is good and all, but it's even better if you're feeling your own feelings and your partner's sensations all at once 👀
Spawn Astarion is a bit of a horny teenager who can't stop won't stop leaving hickeys all over his lover. Naomi relishes in it.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Naomi is absolutely peppered in powdery freckles pretty much everywhere except where her bra and underwear would cover. And she's got blue tiddies! Astarion, of course, is perfection.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Although I think he waxes and wanes a bit, I see Astarion as having a very high sex drive on average. Naomi's was slightly lower before him, but she sort of sponges up his eager energy and mirrors it back.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Naomi finds Astarion's lack of heartbeat incredibly soothing, and often falls asleep before him with her head on his chest. Conversely, Astarion will typically drift off after her, listening to her rest and her pretty little heartbeat he comes to cherish so much.
In their ascended/consort ending, the roles flip a bit. Naomi finds his new heartbeat suddenly comforting, and Astarion likes falling into rest with her scent surrounding him, knowing he's influenced it by giving her his ascended blood. In either case, Astarion goes into trance after her and wakes before her. He likes watching over his partner while they rest.

okay, but who would be the most EMOTIONALLY devastating family members to be controllers? (I feel Jordan could ruin Rachel in a way Naomi wouldn't)
Look, this might just be a result of me growing up in a very close family, but. The whole idea of choosing a parent or sibling whom you would most vs. least mind getting kidnapped and enslaved feels nonsensical to me.
It'd be like asking if I'd prefer to have my right leg or my left amputated. If I try really hard I can come up with reasoning (if I lose the left then I don't have to relearn to drive? if I lose the right then using a cane left-handed might be easier?). But the truth is that those details mean basically nothing; my overwhelming opinion is NEITHER. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE A LEG. The right-left distinction is such a minor one in the face of a life-changing injury that, given infinite time to research, I probably couldn't come up with a choice much better than a coin flip.
Rachel fights with her mom plenty. She fights with Jordan plenty. But, like, the idea she wouldn't be emotionally ruined by her mom getting kidnapped and forced to abuse her and her sisters? Doesn't ring true to me.

You're Losing Me - Part 2
Read the preface and part 1 here!
Warnings: RPF, angsty + sad, mean!naomi, neglectful!naomi?, issues in relationship, fighting?
g's notes: welp....here you go
Naomi heard the door slam, wincing softly as they dropped their tense shoulders, sighing. The guilt runs down their spine like an uncomfortable shiver, turning their head to see your animals peering through the french doors.
"What am I doing?" Noami mumbles to themself, pushing away from the desk, abandoning the open work on the screen, throwing the french doors open and jogging to the front door, opening it like it owed them money.
"Hey, wait..." Noami says seeing you put your bag in the passenger seat, walking in front of the car to the driver's side.
"W-Where are you going?" they stutter, watching you adjust behind the steering wheel.
"I'm surprised you noticed I left," you mumble, voice full of venom, trying to hide the obvious wobbliness in your voice. "I'm going to Kelli and Jo's," you add on, turning the car on and grabbing the seatbelt.
"...Baby wait...come on," Naomi says moving back as you shut the door, looking at it with great offense as it shuts. You roll the window down with a huff, as Noami leans down arms crossed at the window.
"What happened to us talking about what happened? You're just gonna leave me and go stay somewhere tonight? You weren't even gonna tell me?" Naomi asks, the tone coming out annoyed as if the worry was buried deep down underneath the inconvenience of your big feelings.
"You went to your office," you say bitterly.
"Because you didn't want to talk!" Naomi exclaims back.
"I shouldn't have to tell you what's wrong, Naomi! When was the last time we talked? When was the last time you actually listened to what I was saying? What difference would it have made?" you exclaim, tone seeping in frustration.
Noami rolls their eyes lightly, standing up and rubbing their face. Hurt and betrayal rush through them, and they recognize what you're saying is true but cannot process it.
"Okay, I- I admit I've been distracted; I should be giving you more attention... you're right," Noami sighs, letting the pride iced inside of them melt away a little.
"But c'mon babe like, my god, do you have to be so dramatic about it? You don't have to just leave like that..." they ask, face scrunched in annoyance.
Your eyes soften in hurt, in absolute disbelief that Noami, your loving partner, the one who is usually obsessed with you and loves to spend time with you, the one who could listen to you talk for hours, is seemingly more annoyed that you're leaving to stay at Kelli and Jo's than by the conflict ravaging your relationship.
It's quick; the way your eyes show that what Naomi said was like a slap in the face.
Naomi's eyes widen, another twinge of guilt as they stand sheepishly in front of you. "That was- I didn't mean... I just think, we should, you know..." they start, stammering under the weight of your gaze.
"No..." Noami starts to say, shaking their head. "You know what? I do have the time to talk this out. I know I was wrong... I can pause what I am doing to prioritize you," they say, leaning back to the window, trying to see where your head is.
"You might as well finish what you're working on... you're almost done, and I already texted Kelli," you mumble softly, making no clear effort to leave the car, unbelieving of Naomi's willingness to actually talk this out.
Naomi audibly groans, "Can you please stop being so stubborn?" they mutter under their breath, hands running over their face again. Naomi looks into your eyes, softly pleading.
"I said I would pause what I'm doing, I'm serious," they continue, tone softening, "can we just...talk this out? please?"
"I'm being stubborn?" you ask incredulously.
Instantly Naomi knows they've fucked up. The way your eyes went from softened with hurt to a deep rage, Naomi's defenses are back up. Face going slightly red, the repeated words bring a new wave of frustration.
"Yes, you're being stubborn!" they say, softness gone from their voice entirely. The conversation gets completely out of hand again, Noami delivering blow after blow. "You're being ridiculous! Can't we just talk this out like adults? Instead, you're throwing a fit and leaving," Naomi half yells.
And it's devastating. The way Naomi raises their voice like second nature, that your response from weeks of tension in the house is considered "throwing a fit" to your normally communicative partner. There's a sense of dread, like the shoreline of an ocean right before a tsunami, withdrawing all the way inside. Is there really nothing left? Is what ever comes next bound to be a disaster? if this is what you're fighting over is it even worth fighting still?
"Go back inside Naomi," you say deadpan, exhaustion clinging to your bones, eyes feeling full of tears and screaming hurt. There's a level of tiredness in your voice that Naomi notices, but can't be bothered to acknowledge.
"Fine!" they say loudly, pushing away from the car. "Go stay with Josette and Kelli if you're gonna act like this; they can deal with you," Naomi huffs, walking with determination back to the house.
Naomi turns for a quick moment, any hopefulness the minute Naomi says, "Have a good night," sarcastically before heading inside with a nonchalant wave. The door slams, and even though it doesn't reverberate to your car, you can feel the quake, the finality of the slam sending shockwaves through your system.
You stare at the front door, reeling in how absolutely absurd and out of character Naomi is acting. The car is still in park, the engine rubbing beneath your seat, eyes staring blankly as you think about how you can move forward.
Naomi stomps back inside, ignoring the animals curled together on the couch, sitting at the desk in their office. They flick a stack of papers off the work surface, cursing to themselves as they spread out, head in their hands, elbows resting on their knees.
Pausing for a moment, Naomi knows that if anything were to happen to you, they couldn't live with themself. But the way you dismissed them upstairs? The way you packed a bag like it was nothing? escaping to your shared friends' house like it wasn't a big deal? It rocked Naomi to their core.
Like a toxic cycle, Naomi straightens up, quickly typing the passcode into their computer before starting to work again, telling themselves they'll call Jo in a little bit to see if you made it to the house.
You sit in the driveway for an hour. A whole hour waiting for Naomi to come back out. Waiting for an inclination that Naomi would change their attitude and be earnest. Waiting for Naomi to recognize why you are upset and apologize for it. Because surely, you mean something to Naomi, right?
The longer you stare at the house, the more you don't recognize the person within its walls. You know Naomi is stressing about the new record, the intense production, and the deadlines coming up soon. You've been as supportive as possible, always creating a space for Naomi to vent or talk, but Naomi has never acted like this.
You start to feel crazy, like a ghost trapped in your driveway. Your phone dings from a text, a "where are you?" from Kelli, that finally lets this sink in. Naomi isn't coming back outside. The tears start to fall before you can stop them, putting the car in reverse and heading towards a known comfort.
g's notes: sorry i HAD to split this part into two parts but that means part 3 is already written and then you'll be getting a happy ending in part 4! wee!

hello apple. the common folk ask for your fervent musings on Naomi Misora!!
:3c oh goodness, naomi thoughts huh… let's make a list for this one:
i will forever Love the LABB murder novel for expanding naomi's characterization and backstory, it is forever So tragic that she died so quickly in the series. her back and forth with both L and beyond is fantastic in that book, and the additional lore set up about all those characters really adds to the canon of the series in an interesting way.
i knowwwww people (justifiably) hate on raye for all the "You'll be happy when you don't have to be an intelligent woman and can just be a Mother :)" bullshit, but naomi as a kind of mother figure is genuinely a notable aspect of her characterization and i kinda wanna Talk about it. particularly in conjunction with that one image of her in the anime opening where she is the stand in for mary holding jesus like in the pietà and also the fact that LABB murder canon sets up the idea that she dropped out of the FBI due to her inability to shoot a child (?? should double-check this but i'm near Certain). she often comes across as quite harsh, and for good reason since she's quite Brusque with the people we see her interacting with the most (light, beyond, L, even raye to some degree), but there's an intriguing Softness to her also that is a big part of what makes her an interesting character to me. it's the Contrast of it all, y'know.
(and yes, some of this may be included purely bc ohba is a sexist writer and doesn't know how to see women as anything other than "fuck object" or "mommy." even with that in mind, i still think this is a point genuinely worth consideration... though i'm not gonna forget that either askldfjsldkf)
naomi and matsuda both are kinda weird actually in that i always Struggle to really place their ages. they both just come across as so Young, despite the fact that they're older than even L by a couple years. i suppose both of them are also often quite underestimated by the people around them, which perhaps contributes to them coming across so green.
speaking of... it seems like quite notable, if somewhat under-utilized lore that naomi was a japanese woman working in the american FBI. again, LABB murders goes into this a Bit, what with naomi struggling to connect with her (presumably largely white, male) coworkers. the fact that her true first name is written entirely in katakana (usually used for foreign words/names) too... i'm assuming she's a first generation immigrant, since they're visiting her parents in japan? but it does give her that pulled-between-cultures kinda feel. i find it quite relatable, actually, as an asian american myself.
there might be an interesting connection there too with regards to how that might influence the ways in which her and raye's relationship functions. i suppose we can't really assume raye's background or race in too extensive detail, particularly since he is presumably speaking fluent japanese throughout the series (???), but i also can't help but see how the "american man with a non-japanese name in a relationship with a japanese woman" might be of note in terms of the particular kinds of sexist assumptions/views he exerts onto her (or even that she applies to herself...)
i've said this before, but i think it's a combination of both that and her more Maternal tendencies that gets her so on board with both L and light, two characters who are both decently younger than her and Take Her Seriously. the fact that she explicitly states seeing L in light, and that she is one of the few characters, really the only person outside of the japanese task force, to actually meet L in person is also. fascinating.
speaking more on the FBI though, i can't help but wonder about what naomi's motivations were for joining the FBI in the first place. or even what her motivations were for leaving japan at all, if she really was the first in her family to immigrate. clearly the american dream did Not live entirely up to expectations, from what we can see of how hard she was putting all her stock into this marriage with raye... but i also desperately wonder what she was Going Through post-beyond incarceration/L-meeting and pre-KIRA. that seems like a particularly juicy time period fanfic-wise, especially considering how beyond himself dies... sigh. onto the wip list.
actually. considering both birthday massacre and raye, it's kinda fucking funny to consider the fact that light killed both of naomi's main love interests. even L, if you go for that. not to mention naomi herself. RIP girl, she must've been frothing at the fucking mouth in that grave putting all the pieces together. first person to kick light's ass in the nothingness afterlife fr.
anyways, in conclusion: naomi fucks hard, best girl, desperately underrated character in the series that i will love forever. there's probably more that i could add to this but my brain is all blissed out on thanksgiving food so ig that's it for now. hell yeah naomi👍

Hi! I was reading your post about Kyouka and Lucy, and I would be really interested in just about any thoughts/takes you have on bsd women if you want to share them. I feel like fandom in general leaves so little space for women and it is very frustrating. Also if you did post exclusively Yosano&Naomi fics I’d read the heck out of that lol
I have lots of thoughts/takes on women in bsd, but I wouldn't know how to write anything on "bsd women." They're each individuals whose bsd characters, irl works and irl lives have depth, thematic relevance, and narrative-driving force in bsd. It would take me hours to write a post on my thoughts on each individually, all of them tossed in together would be a small academic text.
That said, I do have some existing posts on some of the women in bsd (in addition to other, just-for-fun posts, and where they come up in my other analyses):
Yosano, Dazai, and Mori
Yosano and Eroticism (based on the outsized scandalized reaction folks had while rewatching the bsd episode in which she heals tanizaki; with excellent commentary from @homoesia)
Kouyou's Role in the Port Mafia
On Louisa and Little Women (with excellent commentary from @sarahworm)
The Implications of Teruko's Backstory
I also very much recommend @ice-devourer's Yosano takes, which can be found here:
Yosano Analysis
Asks including information about irl Yosano's Early Life and irl Yosano's Childhood Grief
Also, @sarahworm is a scholar on women and Higuchi especially. Although I haven't convinced her to write a comprehensive analysis on irl!Higuchi and bsd!Higuchi, I did bait her into sharing some of her thoughts on my birthday post for Higuchi (which also contains a light smattering of my own thoughts about irl vs. bsd Higuchi).
