hii shea idk if someone has already made this type of request if that's the case please ignore me but i can't stop thinking about shy!reader absolutely cock drunk asking for the first time rafe to fuck her raw and the question caught him so off guard that he felt feral and dizzy, his composure slipping away just wanting to please his sweet girl<3

hi baby omg no i don't have any reqs like this here it is hope i did it justice <33

rafe was teasing you today.

after more than an hour of back and forth at whatever party you two had gone to for the evening—and only because rafe wanted to sell and your friends had already promised they'd be there—you were more than ready to go home.

except rafe hadn't taken you home yet. instead you'd been all around the house—on rafe's lap in the living room to start. leaning in to your boyfriend's ear, you know he can tell how desperate you're getting.

you don't do well with denial anymore—rafe had spoiled you too much for that.

"can't we go now?" the words are whispered to rafe, and you rest your head on his shoulder, blinking up at him while you wait for a response. one of his hands leaves the armstand of the sofa and grips your exposed thigh, skirt riding up a little too much.

"it's early. hold out a little longer. can you do that for me?"

you think your eyes are going to roll all the way back. the answer is yes, of course, you can do that for him. you would do anything for him. you just don't want.

following that, you accompanied rafe to the other side of the house where a whole swarm of people were chasing their next high. though you should really stand next to him, you just can't find it in you today, instead staying his back, peering out every now and then like shy children do.

it's all worth it, because moments later rafe takes you upstairs, murmuring something about how you're being a good girl for holding out. there's an empty bedroom that you think is the perfect place to spend the next hour.

rafe's talking to you—though you're so deliriously horny you can't really hear him. you nod and stare up, agreeing to whatever your boyfriend wants to do, just wishing he would hurry up and do something already, when the door opens.

you're not naked, though if they had barged in a few minutes later, you might have been. and normally you think your face would be burning, that you might die of embarrassment at someone catching you like this.

instead you're just mad.

it's the owner of the house—which makes sense, since your boyfriend has brought you up to the master. he's got a girl of his own on his arm, and you grind your teeth getting up with rafe, furious and impatient now.

"at least knock next time!" you yell when you shuffle through, ignoring splutters of it's my house!

you think rafe is going to ask you what you want to do next—but he doesn't. your boyfriend, like always, knows what you need before you can even know it sometimes. you follow rafe back to his truck, ready for, at the very least, some peace and quiet.

when you finally get up to rafe's room, the buzz of the party is wearing off a bit. your feet hurt from your heels and you can't believe you yelled at someone. lost in your own thoughts, you don't even process rafe sitting down next to you, until he takes your feet into his lap, undoing the strap of your shoes for you.

it's instant—one touch from him is enough to set your skin on fire.

"oh," you say, at the sudden realization you might finally be getting what you want. you stare at where rafe is holding your ankle in place, shoes on the ground now. "thank you."

"s'nothing, kid. get on the bed." eagerly, you comply.

in the vain hope that rafe was as impatient as you are—you thought he would just fuck you already. but it seems not, with the slow way he kisses up and down your neck, down to your tits and your stomach.

you find it a lot easier to ask him for things now—a new dress, dessert, money for your nails—but it seems impossible to ask him for this, so you opt for enjoying it and staying silent.

but even then—rafe always knows when something is wrong. you're practically vibrating from anticipation—you had wanted your boyfriend to fuck you hours ago on that stupid couch from that stupid house. it seems your body was only now realize how long you'd been clenching your thighs, biting your cheek and ignoring the tense knot in your stomach.

a few touches from rafe was enough to have you practically melting—staring up and still not saying anything.

"y'okay, kid?" he asks, and you really don't know how to answer. "s'okay. you're getting what you want."

you can do this. you're patient—you've always been patient.

"can you-please, just-" alright, maybe not. "can you please just fuck me raw, please, please, just fuck me-"

of course, rafe's not stupid. he could tell you've been on edge all night, he just hadn't known why. he stares down at you, all flushed, hot skin and heavy breaths, looking up at him. he knows whatever reaction he gives you will stay on your mind, and though he can try as hard as he wants, you are impossible to say no to.

"jesus. s'that really what you want?" you nod eagerly. "can't regret this later, baby. once we do that, it's-it's serious. what if i knock you up, huh?"

rafe watches you take in the words, facing twisting in understand.

"please knock me up."

Hello Tumblr pals- I've been neglecting you with my Olympic diving information so I've decided it's time to pop it up here, too.

You may or may not know that I wrote an Olympic diving fic for the Our Flag Means Death fandom, featuring newcomer Stede and veteran Ed at the Paris 2024 Games, who compete for different countries but fall into a love that goes beyond borders. Synchronicity is very spicy, very full of love, and very full of diving, so having written it because I've been obsessed with the diving since I was a kid, it's been LOVELY hitting the actual Olympics and having friends to watch with.

But that also means I have information, which I've put together into infographics that might help you enjoy the events!

First up, the diving events by height! You'll see that there are lots of different boards, but only two are used in competition- the fixed surface 10m platform, and the flexible surface 3m springboard.

You can see a calendar of the Olympic events this time around here.

The synchronised events are completed in a single round of five dives for women and six dives for men, while the individual events include three rounds of five (women) and six (men) dives.

Most divers only compete in either the 3m or the 10m, but some (like the legendary Greg Louganis) compete in both. Only some divers compete in both the individual and the synchronised events, but if you were to compete in all of the men's events, here's how many dives you'd do!

The synchronised events feature only eight teams.

The individual events can have up to 30 competitors in the preliminary round. The top 18 go through to the semi-final, and then the top 12 from that round go through to the final, where they compete for the gold, silver and bronze medals. The scores are reset in each round.

Women must complete dives from five different groups on springboard and platform.

Men must complete dives from five different groups on springboard, and five different groups in the synchronised platform events, and six different groups in the individual platform events (the sixth group being the armstand group, which can't be used on springboard).

The armstand group is allowed but not required in the men's synchronised events (I'm not sure if this is a recent change but I really thought it was required there, too, until I realised nobody used it in the recent round of synchronised diving! So where you see me stating it's required in these infographics, that's only for the men's individual 10m platform events).

An illustration of the diving groups and the direction of launch and rotation they represent include forward, back, reverse, inward, twist, and armstand (only used on the 10m platform):

Every dive has a dive number that explains all the elements of it, and these are explained below.

Non-twisting dives have three numbers and a letter. The first shows the diving group, and the second whether there's a flying action (this is rare in Olympic competition and will almost always be zero). The third shows the number of half somersaults completed (going from upright on launch to head down on entry will always result in an odd number). The letter is the dive position.

The numbers for twisting dives are similar, but they include four numbers and a letter. The first number is almost always 5 for a twisting dive (but can be 6 if it starts from an armstand position). The direction of rotation is next, or the equivalent to the other diving groups. The number of half somersaults is next, followed by the number of half twists. And the letter also shows the dive position.

The diving positions- straight, pike, tuck, and free- are shown below.

Straight involves no bend or curve to the body. Pike means legs straight and body bent at the waist. Tuck is the legs bent and tucked against the body. And free includes a combination of positions, and is generally used in twisting dives. Each dive is given a degree of difficulty based on a chart that calculates the complexity of the combination, which can be found in the appendix here.

In the synchronised events, everyone's dives receive a degree of difficulty of 2.0 for the first round, no matter what their normal degree of difficulty would be, which is why you often see divers using the simplest possible types of dives.

Speaking of scoring, there's a fair bit of complicated math involved! But hopefully this might help break it down a little.

In individual events, seven judges assess each diver and how successfully they completed the listed dive, which has to be submitted in advance. The top two and the bottom two scores are eliminated. The three remaining scores are added together, and then multiplied by the degree of difficulty for the total score. The scores from each dive are added together for the final score.

It gets a little more complicated in the synchronised event!

Eleven judges assess each synchronised diving round. Six score the divers (three for each) and five score the synchronisation. The top and bottom scores for each diver are eliminated, as are the top and bottom synchronisation scores. The remaining five are added together, and then multiplied by 0.6 to reduce five scores to the equivalent of three. This is then multiplied by the degree of difficulty for the total score. Each round's score is added together for the final score.

The actual scoring of the diving includes many different factors, but most importantly, they're measured against the specific planned dive and how well it's executed. Failure to complete the planned dive can result in zero points. You can see all the detailed rules here!

So there you go! That's all the info on how to understand Olympic diving across the 16 events that take place during the Olympics. I hope this helps! To see the upcoming events (make sure the filter is set to your local time) check out the Olympic diving schedule here.

Action begins in thought first, ALWAYS. So whenever you hear someone say you must take action towards your goal(s) and you’re the kind of person that doesn’t know which action to take, just know that EVERYTHING begins in thought before it can even take place is the body. ************************* So whatever desire you have and you want it to come to fruition the first ACTION you need to take is thinking (thought/action) that you have it, ALREADY!!!!! ************************* Repeat that thought over and over and over again until it’s planted in your subsconscious mind and becomes the air you breathe instead of a so-called “task” that you feel you have to do everyday. #yogapose #longlegs #staggeredlegs #yogamom #yogaandalliscoming #yogaeverything #yogi #armstand #armbalance #momswhoyoga #yogalove #asana #om #beayoutiful #vibratehigher #beyou #coachlife #mompreneur (at Rockville, Maryland)

I've learned success is hardwork, long nights, and many tears. I've also realized how far I've come in life to get where I am. I've learned to appreciate what I have in the now.
