cleaning up bloody mattheo after a fight 🤤🤤 and he’s still clenching his jaw and angry 🤤🤤 but he doesn’t want to scare you 🥹🥹

“this is going to sting” you warn as you press the cloth drenched with alcohol to his face to disinfect his wounds. to your surprise, he doesn’t show any pain—no flinching or screaming—making you raise an eyebrow. you analyse his facial expressions and realise the adreline is still pumping through his body— his jaw is clenched, eyes are narrowed and his knee is restlessly bouncing up and down. you aren’t even sure why he got into a fight in the first place, but you figured it’s best to give him some time to cool off before bombarding him with questions.

“fucking idiot. i should’ve hit him harder. fuck!” mattheo hisses, eyes fixed on the wall ahead, not even blinking as his tongue exasperatedly pokes the inside of his cheek. you feel uneasy, trying to keep your mouth shut to avoid infuriating him further as you dab the cloth against his wounds— but curiosity gets the better of you, and you can’t help but wonder what happened before you entered the room. “why did you fight, mattheo? what even happened?” you blurt out, your eyes moving to his narrowed ones, gazing at him with a worried expression.

“it’s not important.” he quickly mutters, shaking his head in disapproval as the memories rush back, yet still avoiding your puzzled gaze. you let out a defeated sigh, fully knowing that pushing further isn’t the smartest move— but you just can’t let it go.

“mattheo, just tell me what—”

“he called you a slut, alright? and i just— i just couldn’t let him get away with that shit. so yeah, i punched him, just like he deserved.”

your brows furrow with both empathy and concern as you gently cup his face with your hand, thumb brushing over his flushed cheek. “oh, baby…” you sigh softly, followed by pressing a gentle kiss to his head. “i’m proud of you, you know that?” mattheo’s brows knit together as he turns to meet your eyes for the first time, confusion evident on his face as he was fully expecting you to lecture him. “what— why?” “because he looked way, way worse than you do right now.”

I've recieved my order from @arinavah like 15 mins ago I've been losing my mind since then. The artstyle is making me want to eat my phone and the quality of both the zine and the enamel pin is so so so good.

I've been looking forward to these and they did not disappoint me! 🥺❤️

Important Characters

Leopold Drachmann

The very man aiming to take down your family. You'd be lying if you said you knew anything about him beyond rumors, but there's no doubting how close he is- or, rather, was- to your father. Times have changed though, and what was once a close alliance is now chasmed due to his own actions.

Atticus Bracht

Derrick's father and a surprisingly mellow man in comparison. You've known him since you were a child, and he's almost always seen with a grin on his face. He's guilty his actions as a young man led to Derrick's ignominy when it should be him instead, but he's always seemed more than nervous to face the other nobles that disapprove of his son's illegitimacy.

Ewan/Elvira Chevalier

Your lord/lady-in-waiting and a close friend since they were appointed to you six years ago. They're quick to gossip and always come to you to spill the details, as their husband refuses to listen to their spiels. They care deeply for you and those they've grown close to, and are always there to assuage your worries.

Arina Falkner

An elderly woman who served as your parents' royal advisor. She's since stepped down, allowing you to take the role, but she's never been shy of voicing her opinions. Having been a close friend of your grandfather, she took care of you and your brother as children when your parents weren't able, and will always have your back should you need her.

Mundir Al-Maghrabi

He's Derrick's uncle, and was always the quickest to defend the boy's honor. You'd met him a few times and he always carried himself with an undeniable charm, but there was something sinister beneath the surface. Even though his death was unfortunate for not only the family, but his ministry as well, you can't deny the fact that it may have been timely.

does anyone know if a clean version of this image exists? either on the internet or as a poster or if tanemura has an artbook collection of i7 works?

[edit] it’s been found! Thank you @stray-sheep!

🎯 — send me this and i’ll match you with a character and explain why you remind me of them! <33 ily

appreciation event!

— going to be honest, when you sent me this ask, i paused for a moment because, i genuinely think you’re a mix of qualities that, even though they’re both amazing, seem like opposites. you’re so sweet with everyone you love and never hesitate to tell them how special they are to you, but you’re also incredibly fierce, unafraid to call out those who wrong you and always staying true to what you believe.

that’s why i think of you as nina zenik (six of crows). not sure if you know her, but she really reminds me of you. she’s tough and fights for what she believes in, always standing up for the people she loves. but at the same time, she’s got so much kindness and loyalty. she would do anything to protect the her people no matter what, but she also knows when to walk away from those who’ve hurt her never letting them taking advantage of her. she never lets go of who she is, no matter what.

ily, ari !!! have a great week <3

— p.s: and like you, she’s so creative!!

Can you do dom!george walking in on u humping ur pillow in your dorm pls🙏🙏🙏

“fuck, fuck, fuck!” you moan blissfully, your eyes tightly shut in ecstasy as you’re completely lost in overwhelming pleasure, your hips grinding down on the pillow under you as your swollen clit rubs perfectly against the soft fabric. your mind is so clouded that you don’t even notice the door opening, only focusing on getting yourself off as your wetness forms a damp patch on the pillow. you flinch when you suddenly hear george’s voice, instantly jolted out of your trance as you gasp and your eyes quickly snap open.

“well, hello there.”

“oh, shit— what the fuck are you doing here?!”

“that’s not how you greet your sweet boyfriend, is it?”

he closes the door behind him and strides towards you, his tall, imposing figure looming over you as he stands next to the bed, casting a long shadow over it. he gazes down at you with a raised brow, yet his expression is difficult to read, which only adds to the tense feeling, causing you to gulp nervously. he then firmly grips your jaw, forcing you to meet his gaze as he shakes his head in disapproval.

“did you forget the rules, darling?” he cocks his head to the side, waiting for an answer. you simply shake your head in response, unable to find the words. “no touching yourself without my permission. it’s not that hard to bloody remember, now, is it?” you shake your head again, eyes now dropping in shame as you feel your cheeks burn with embarrassment. “alright then. i need you bend over my lap and we’ll see if i can forgive you.” “baby, i’m so sorry. i didn’t—” “right, right… then be a good girl f’me and show me just how sorry you are, hm?”

Tawain/Japan Loot, Round 4 (FINAL): Arina Tanemura

One of my luckiest finds while overseas was this beautiful collection of Arina Tanemura doujinshi, alongside the full set of Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne keychains (gacha prizes)! 💖💖💖

Arina Tanemura is one of my favorite artists of all time. Her works were so emblematic of the shoujo manga scene in the 1990s and early 2000s. She was my top inspiration when it came to my own art! 🥰🥰🥰

From what I gather, these are official doujinshi published under her penname, meguroteikoku! In true shoujo fashion, the insides are printed with colored ink:

(unfortunately I won't be showing the contents, as they're a bit less SFW than I was expecting LMAO)

Between me and my sister, we were both able to get the full set of KKJ Gacha keychains! 🥰🥰🥰
