Febuwhump Day 3: Pinned Down

pairings: gen

summary: a story about y/n, Redbull’s new second driver, told in non-sequential order

a/n: I love febuwhump and have participated before for other fandoms but this is a first for me — attempting to compete it via smau only. Hopefully I can write a complete story eventually and I will be posting it on its own masterlist in the correct order to read but it’ll be written based on the febuwhump prompt list! @febuwhump

a/n2: based on the 2024 year; sorry checo but you got replaced earlier!

Ice cream for two

Jason x fem!reader

warning : fluff, kinda flirting, mutual feelings, Jaoson is just a sweet shy horny guy, ice cream as an allusion to many things ;)

Summary : What could be better and more delicious than ice cream on a hot summer's day? They wanted to make ice cream for the participants themselves, but with a broken old ice cream maker, nagging teenagers and two leaders who paid more attention to each other than to their tasks, it seemed that a number of things could go wrong.

info : So I'm slowly coming back after my exams, I'm trying to resume my regular upload schedule, request and I hope you continue to enjoy Jason. Thank you for all teh support and have fune readin ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the summer, there was nothing better than having a cool drink, whether it was a glass of fresh water, a sweet, delicious lemonade or, in any case, a tasty ice cream.

From vanilla to strawberry to chocolate and raspberry, every flavor could be transformed into ice cream and enjoyed in the cool.... this was true for almost everyone in the small town, except for the summer camp, which, under the heat, was just like everyone else.

Because even if the forest and the trees surrounding them provided shade, it was not as cool as a delicious ice cream.

The teenagers and group leaders had sought refuge in the dining hut, where there was the only working fan and at least something like a breeze.

,,Can we get an ice cream here too?” Jason heard the younger boy's whining voice in the main area at the table, and they were trying hard not to move unnecessarily.

One thing the bearded man could understand was that since waking up, they seemed to have been fried under the sun.

Swimming in the lake was cool, but sooner or later they would become fish before they could even do anything.

Turning away from the door, he gave the younger ones an apologetic glance and turned back to his colleague, who had been trying to get the ice machine to work for an hour. ,,No luck?” he asked cautiously, looking at the machine lying on the floor.

Her head had disappeared under the machine with a torch and wrench, and the rest of her body moved from time to time to get at parts of the machine.

,,No, Jason, that thing is at least twenty years old... don't want to destroy your dreams, but if that thing starts up, the ice cream will be radioactive,” she said, coming back out from under the machine.

He helped her up with his hand and resisted the urge to wipe a bit of dust off her body or to touch her again, they were here for ice cream, not for overflowing hormones.

The radioactive ice cream maker in question was from the early days of the fight, back then, it was probably the most modern and newest device, but now, despite being cleaned and tried to be improved, it was more of a scrap heap than anything else.

But they had the ingredients here and the fridge didn't have enough capacity to hold everything. ,,It'll be fine, just give it a try, and if not, well, there's fruit puree and milk” he tried with a smile and went to the bags of fruit and cans of milk, which were tipped into the cool metal tub.

Unable to stop herself from smiling, she watched the blond man as he went about his work like a busy little bee.

No matter how nervous he was, the harder he tried, the less he seemed to see her, her feelings and the love she felt for him. It was almost as if he was blind to her advances...but that could always be changed.

After the machine had started and the ingredients had been cooled and processed into ice cream, it was time to wait a little.

She sent Jason to the storeroom to get the ice cream cones so that they could serve the ice cream better.

He hadn't thought about anything, of course he would get everything for her, would do anything for her, not only because he liked her, they were watchmen for the kids.

How she says my name so sweetly, he thought to himself as he carried the box of waffles into the kitchen and was puzzled to see that the kitchen had become more of an ice bath.

The old ice cream maker seemed to have done its best to form a uniform mass from the ingredients.

This also seemed to have worked for the first minute he was gone, but now the relatively solid mass had turned into a liquid avalanche of sweetness.

A bright, sticky, sweet liquid that should have been vanilla had just spilled all over his crush.

,,Are you okay? Do you need a doctor? Did the machine attack you?” he asked in panic and put the box down to rush to her, almost slipping on the mass that had spread everywhere and she had to support him slightly so that they both didn't go down.

But his panic met her amusement; she seemed to find all of this extremely funny, unlike him, whose mind seemed to be thinking other things again.

When he saw the individual drops running down her, she began to remind him of something else as she licked her lips and sighed.

With her fingers she wiped away the substance and licked it off to roughly get rid of some of the sticky ice.

Such an innocuous situation, his mind kept thinking further, in a direction that made him look away...he had helplessly fallen for her. But was it the same for her? Was she just playing with him? Or was she honest?

,,Attack is a good word for it. As soon as you left, the thing went berserk,” she explained, pointing to the on and off button, which was visibly fused and thus caused the machine to also run out of control.

At least they now knew that they had to get a new machine for next year, because what was left of the kitchen was a pile of scrap metal.

,,Well, we-we could serve smoothies,” he stammered, slowly detaching himself from her as he looked into the tub and saw that it was not quite solid but also not completely liquid.

Her smirk was music to his ears as she walked past him to the sink, where she turned on the tap and splashed cool water onto her face to get rid of the attempted ice.

His bright eyes lay on her, saw exactly how the whitish substance was washed away, how the 'erotic disappeared from the whole at first and then came back when her top was wetter than before.

The outline of her bra, the ice cream, her eyes and the smile on her lips seemed to come from his own dreams, which were often rather suggestive.

Maybe he was dreaming? He was ashamed, ashamed that he felt like a teenager, he was 24 and a grown man... but she was just so beautiful.

The way she treated him, full of kindness and cheerfulness, never nagging him and joining him in his 'group activities' or helping him with repairs, she was just perfect.

Their eyes met, a wink and giggle as she pointed to his hand, wonderingly following her gaze, he saw that he had leaned his hand directly into a sticky puddle.

,,I think after feeding the kids, we both need a shower,” she said invitingly, giving him that sweet look once more before disappearing from the kitchen to tell the teenagers that it smoothies instead of ice cream.

That didn't matter to them, the main thing was to cool down a bit, and the two team leaders also allowed themselves a cooling down as they both disappeared in the direction of the showers...separately, of course.

CREATOR GAME TAG - post some of your gifs before and after coloring!

I was tagged by wonderful @jkvjimin! Thank you so much! 💜

Here are some examples of my coloring. It looks pretty simple. I often just give more contrast to the footage and sometimes get rid of the filters on it. Some videos are really whitewashed, so I try to bring the colors back as much as possible. And when I make a comp, I color each gif individually, so they would match.

Original posts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

Thank you to each and every creator who has shared their beautiful gifs and who keeps making them. You all inspire me! I’m not as talented as everyone here, but I’m always trying to learn new things and look up to everyone to be better myself. Everyone’s kindest words to me are so encouraging. Thank you all very much! I have found myself less enthusiastic about gif making these days (I also didn’t have much time for it lately), but I’m still enjoying it. I’m hoping for better days ahead for all: creators, content enjoyers and artists! It is a bangtan year after all! And when bts come back I want to be here and to make gifs more often.

Tagging some amazing creators (no pressure, only if you want to): @cordiallyfuturedwight, @yooboobies, @kimtaegis, @taehyunghobi, @raplinenthusiasts, @jung-koook, @hyyhhope, @thatgoddamngingerundercut, @cosmicdreamgrl, @vminsos and anyone who wants to participate too (I'm not sure who have already done it and who I can tag, I'm just a big fan of all of you).

Six Sentence (except there are no sentences so just...) Sunday

Thank you to @roomwithanopenfire and @blackberrysummerblog for the tags! I feel kinda silly posting this because I don't have any sentences to share this sunday! But I was inspired by Lily's Stats Sunday, so here's what I've been working on.

All The Sadness Of The World: I wrote the ending yesterday. Oh, what surreality! It's crazy that this is finished, and I'm not sure that I'm done with these boys yet. Maybe I'll write a companion someday! For now, thank you so much to everyone who encouraded me along the way; you are amazing, and your cheers helped make this into a cohesive (ish) and finished story! The Opera has finally been performed <3

COBB 2025: Don't worry, my lips are sealed here! But I am participating as a writer and I am Thinking Thoughts. It's so hard to keep it a secret but I'm excited to share it with you someday!

Secret Project: This is a one-shot that means a whole lot to me and will be posted very soon!

Other than that, not much to tell! Now that Sadness is finished, I honestly don't know what to do with myself haha! Any ideas? (I physically cannot be without something to write, this may be a problem.) Sorry that there wasn't actually something substantial to share! Love you all so much!!

Tags and hellos! I have not made a fixed list yet, so very sorry for that inconcistency. @argumentativeantitheticalg @aristocratic-otter @artsyunderstudy @bookish-bogwitch @carryonmylovelies @drowninginships @fiend-for-culture @foolofabookwyrm @arthurkko @iamamythologicalcreature @monbons @mooncello @martsonmars @messofthejess @ninemagicks @nausikaaa @larkral @raenestee @sillyunicorn @skee3000 @sleepyphobzz @thewholelemon @tiarrrita @userrandomname @hushed-chorus @youarenevertooold @you-remind-me-of-the-babe

okay guys i’m in a picrew funk after the itsv spidersona one, look at me (this is luna but bimbo killer version)

not planning to make this into a tagalong thingy but here’s the link if anyone wants to try it out !! i love the artstyle on this omgomg

[skeletwinsauaskbox]

fang if you wanna make it up with trying to replace presto maybe doing eachothers makeup without trying to look like eachother is a good start?

(And with that, the Last Ditch Effort arc comes to a close. Thank you to everyone who participated in this. Now, let me just say that you don't have to forgive Stuffie if you don't feel like you can. I won't force you to, you can be mad at him all you want. I won't blame you or shame you, and I don't want anyone to start attacking and fighting each other because of it. This is just what Lento and Presto decided to do. Either way, I hope you enjoyed this little arc that I've been planning since the Skeletwins returned. And don't worry, the Fellies aren't leaving just yet. We still have the rest of the day, so get your asks in before they have to go back! And don't worry, it's not gonna be forever. They will return. :) With that said, back to silly shenanigans!)

[genderqueerdykes]

I really want to go on T. My spouse has told me that he wouldn't try to stop me and I know he completely respects my autonomy. But I also know beyond a doubt that he would stop being attracted to me, and I legitimately would rather miss out on T than hurt my relationship with him. It's so hard talking to people about this because everyone just tells me to ditch the relationship with no respect for how important he is to me.

hello there! thanks for taking the time to stop by

is there any way you can sit down with him and say something like "i know it's a big change, and i understand why it makes you feel that way. is it possible for me to explain why it's so important to me and why i want it? i'm still the same person, i just need to change a few things to feel exactly like myself."

there is a chance that he will become receptive over time. sometimes people are shocked by something at first, but with time and exposure, people can turn around and at the very least respect it. i agree that i don't think just ditching him is a good idea. you have every right to want to stay in that relationship if he's genuinely that important to you. there may just have to be some gentle conversations and he may start to understand that you're still the same person, you're not changing into someone else.

there is the possibility of microdosing as well! that might help warm him up to be okay with it and let you take more if you want that. the changes from HRT can come very slowly and sometimes that allows people who originally oppose it to see that it's not as bad as they thought it would be. some people come to really love trans bodies in these kinds of relationships!

if he just really can't accept it, or becomes hostile or aggressive, then leave. i believe it's worth trying to have a conversation about it in a very gentle fashion, and explain why it would make you a happier partner, and would make it easier to participate in life, and your relationship. those are a few things that come to mind! i hope you're able to take T and stay with him. you shouldn't have to choose between your transition and your partner. i hope that time is kind to you both

stay safe, let me know if you need any more advice. good luck, i hope you get what you need

Say one thing, it was excellent foreshadowing for what would be revealed about how Aang would treat his kids in LoK. Now if only it was meant that way it could at least then have lead to a interesting story.

I mentioned my thoughts on this quite a few times here on Tumblr: By failing to show us a healthy, compelling K@taang, they instead created a well-written tragedy completely by mistake. This is a phenomenon, and it won’t stop astonishing me. Starting with the endgame kiss in ATLA without their arguments, including the non-consensual kiss, being resolved first.

There's also no effort to make Katara feel included. Why does Katara have to sit off to the side? Why can't she participate in celebrations of Aang's culture, too?

Not only has Katara in the comics been downgraded to Aang’s pretty, little sidekick, for whatever reason she isn’t even participating in gaining knowledge about her boyfriend’s culture. She wouldn’t even have to become an Acolyte by doing so.

Why do the air acolytes have to all be girls, anyway? If Aang wants to preserve his culture, and is nervous about appropriation (which is a valid fear), shouldn't his chosen acolytes be chosen based on qualifications other than "young girls who worship me"? Because...they are all young girls.

This is such a weird decision. On one hand, it is completely valid for Aang to take a chance on preserving his culture. On the other hand, those girls didn’t even seem to have a genuine interest other than it being the culture of their celebrity crush, which they’re imitating. Because, at the end of the day, this is what they are: (Pre-)teen girls having a celebrity crush. He even admits it himself: 'It's just a silly fan club', and he rightfully gets angry when he learned that some of them took it even as far as to appropriate the cultural tattoos. So, he is aware of this.

If Aang is oblivious, not only does that not matter (because ultimately the decision was made by the writers), but it makes it worse, because it means he is oblivious to Katara's needs. And that is the most charitable interpretation, because in reality, nobody who acts this way is oblivious. The story of the innocent man who becomes famous and just happens to be seduced by his adoring fangirls is a myth. In the real world, Aang telling these girls who already are going to do whatever he says that they get to be part of his super special club that doesn't include his girlfriend would be a red flag.

The oblivious-thing is something Aang stans (but not only) would mention to defend Katara’s statement of her deserving no thanks, but to me:

It doesn’t matter, the thing is that Katara’s feelings are absolutely valid and understandable to everyone with even a tiny bit of empathy towards her character or understanding of healthy communication inside a serious relationship.

How in the whole wide world does someone keep oblivious of excluding their partner for the sake of entertaining a flirty bunch a whole day and night? Especially when said partner is sitting on the wall with knees pressed against their chest, looking sad and lost... Aang ignores Katara because he enjoys the attention, that is what the panels are telling us. Making it about his extinct culture doesn’t excuse anything (if this is really the case. The panels are showing us something different, imo, but whatever).

They could’ve just shown Katara and Aang running into some fangirls he is turning off nicely and then meeting people later on, who are genuinely interested in his culture becoming Air Acolytes. This was done so badly.

I can’t get over the fact that Bryke decided Katara should believe she deserves no thanks in The Promise. I mean, they literally made her feel guilty for being uncomfortable spending the night with her bfs groupies fangirls.

I’ve seen people claim that Aang was oblivious to this. Don’t they get what this is about? His obliviousness doesn’t even matter. Katara's feelings are valid no matter what, and talking about it would have been the only healthy thing to do.

And don’t get me started on those who insist that this shows how both of them had grown since Book 1... This is no growth to me. It seems like Katara, who has always been vocal about her feelings, learned in this one year of her relationship to repress them instead. Either to avoid conflict altogether or because she's been told to 'control herself'. And unfortunately, this is the reality for so many women in RL.

If this is Bryke’s idea of a healthy relationship, I’m actually so glad that Zutara isn’t canon. They could’ve easily made up for the forced K@taang endgame in ATLA by showing a relationship where both sides are validated equally, but instead we got this bs.

If this wasn’t already a bad enough example for girls and young women of what a healthy relationship is supposed to look like, Bryke took it even further: They made the very girls who openly flirted with Aang in front of his girlfriend the official Air Acolytes. In other words, unless Katara and Aang are off on their next adventure, they are surrounded by them almost 24/7.

Yeah, that’s right. Just keep smiling, Master Katara Avatar’s girl.

I mean, what does her life look like surrounded by those Aang-worshiping girls and her boyfriend, who remains oblivious? Constantly smiling, acting as though she doesn't hear the obvious advances happening right in front of her? Ignoring the catty comments directed at her by some of them? And, in general, adjusting to her boyfriend's—later, husband's—life while forgetting her own ambitions? Now, we could argue that she wouldn't stay with Aang if she eventually realizes that she has put up with too much and lost herself. But, I think, we all know that lifelong relationships like this exist in RL.
