Newcomer here and i just finished nightfall, wanted to share because i saw your fics. Unwanted confessions, and idk if you've received these kinds before: dn series made me feel old. These characters mature so fast and were so sexualised since they were young, and later on being only in their mid 20s, acting as if the world will collapse just because they dont have kids or make babies at 24. They gave me white christian religious parents trauma frfr. Their obsession of being liberal but gender roles still being so conservative put the feminism movement back to 200 years ago, i fucking hate every characters in this series except for emory, frfr. Like they can be dark romance rich billionaires and have amazing char arcs but what the fuck was that series? Dn made me believe, rich white privilege people and blonds are really THAT fucking stupid. I'd like to go to the US just to see blond white privileged americans act like rika & winter frfr.

oh, And that wuss ass "lover" guy will grayson who "claimed" to love emory scott so much (🙄) reach out to her yada yada, while fucking around with other women and having threesomes here and there so easily, it was NOT swoony or romantic. He's cheap as fuck, i hate manwhore male characters like him so fucking much. And they just excuse his shit because he was pining for emory, as if he fucking deserves her or somthing. I swear, will grayson does not deserve emory scott, but thats my unpopularopinion. if he had cared enough about emmy, he shouldve fought for her harder. Urgh, i hate weak male characters, such a turn off. All that nightfall plot happening only because he was the weakest of them, yikes. Cant believe he was only ever a man with emory, it's giving "she's only tough when a man saves her" trope, but in reverse, and oh, what does that looks like? Rika fane and winter ashby's arcs! Rika, winter and will, three dumbest characters of the series, frfr. No wonder damon liked them, theyre so similar with one another. Emory scott's patience is truly better than mine.

And Dont even get me started with alex. I hate her in noghtfall. Why did pd butcher her charcter like that? I was shocked, girl! Shocked! Not even banks and rika who treated her like shit initially got a slap, and emmy who didnt even bother got one? In a conversation thats not even about her? The fuck? Where's the girl's girl personality at? Out the window now that her love life with aydin was threathened? Wow. Worse is, they're friends (emmy alex).... i hate pd for this, they just cannot write two pretty female friends who thrive. They always make their male caharcters have amazing bonds with each other, but all fmcs had some sort of internalised misogynistic catfights. If pd can give us willdamon, they can give us rikalaex, banksemmy, alexemmy amazing female frienships alright. Pd just chose not to. And notice how all of their other books, the girls were always around men, but no amazing same-age female presence in their live? Even emmy admitted she was not familiar around woman. Like?? She had amazing relationship with her mom and grandma was compared to the rest no? Why cant we have at least this in this whole disgusting male worshipping series? Istg, there was no reason for pd to build up a powerful and empowering worldbuilding for a women like the horsemen's wives but only to make their same teachers to be men, who never had to know what it feels like to struggle as a woman, ESPECIALLY in their society in thunder bay? This happened in birthday girl, in fall away, misconduct, like??? Its a pattern atp. I hate it. If you have any book recs thathave amazing female relationship between women, please do share, i need some cleansing from all these stupid male chars.

Other than that, i guess i shouldnt have ever expected monogamy or exclusivity in relationships when it comes to pd's books too. These chars are all so overly touchy. I heard about the rikabanks bonus, and it ruined hideaway and corrupt for me. Because why is banks whole ass personality about being jealous of rika, being so caught with damon and kai, AFTER A WHOLE DECADE. does she not have a fucking hobby or go to therapy or something? Stupid as hell. And why is rika being in the centre a.fucking.gain. God, shes dull af, pd just stop! What also pisses me off even more is when people can freely kiss and touch will (like alex, winter to will in killswitch and noghtfall train scene), but god forbid emmy had the same attention or touchesfrom other men, that bitchass grayson starts to act up, as if he fought for her life or something. Fuck him honestly, atleast damon admitted he was a literal piece of shit. I hate people and chars like will because theyre so hypocritical. Never in a million years i would expect to hate will in his own book, but god damn, he really really ruined nightfall for me. Not a single redeeming quality to that fucker. He made me swore so much. I already hated him for his treatment to rika banks and winter in the previous books, and now him with emmy? And just watching emmy getting hurt again again again, not only by her world and herself, but also by will, by his own friends, and by the people associated to his world like aydin and taylor, and never standing by her side through it all? Yea. No. Fuck man, i hate will grayson so much. I wouldve given up on him by the end of the train scene, ngl.

will grayson will never be a real man to me. Like he's a wuss, my girl emory deserve better. "His only mistake was he loves too much", no his mistake was being a hypocritical self-righteous shallow privilege entitled narcissistic assaulting male whore. And Thats only the tip of the iceberg of his shitty character. Nightfall ws the biggest scam.

i honestly just wanna vent out my feelings about this book, because i just finished nightfall, and hooooo i never thought i'd hate will, man. Never thought i'd hate him like i hated michael and damon but here we are. It's always the hypocritical angelic male ones that ends up being scum like this. Oo at least kai was only whiny and hurt rika/ banks and bare in mind, kai was still fucking shit and i hate him, but god damn, will grayson really was the biggest disappointment of devils night series for me. I immediately went to tumblr to check out his tags and found your fics, and i'd like to say, i like your will only 5% more. I cannot imagine will being that good to emmy honestly, so i guess it stays as a wish fulfillment for me as a fan of emmy. I might fucking hate will, but emmy loves him so wtv. If emmy had done one wrong thing, its will grayson. i cant lie, this was shocking to me because i went into this book expecting to like will. But i only came to meet a whiny loser ass white privilege guy who never had to suffer anything other than the consequences of his and his friend's actions? Wow, not enough that we had this kind of man irl, theyre everywhere in fiction too, god! And people hate rika more? Nah, i hated rika, but never more than will grayson frfr. Theyre all so fucking dumb. And on that dumb note, whats with the chars (except for emmy) always anticipating damon? He never served? He talked shit so much, but never actually served? The fuck? At least in haunting adeline, zade meadows did what he said. Damon was just the guy thatblabbers too much, but do nothing. And even when he had plans, its always with someone else's help? Huh? Cant believe they compared zade to damon. Theyre both scums, but at least zade had creds, and then theres damon, the bland no-skills wolf-like guy.. ughhhh 🤮🤢 i hate when author tries to use shock value to hide their awful arcs, because damon torrance and rika fane were two of their mostshitty ass chars arcs written so far. Plus michael. Michael was like a standee to his friends, but thats a whole nother topic.

i honestly dont know if its fine for me to rant here since im a newbie but if you dont feel comfy, you can just delete this post, just wanted to vomit my rants yk.

i honestly dont know if its fine for me to rant here since im a newbie but if you dont feel comfy, you can just delete this post, just wanted to vomit my rants yk.

Honestly, I have inadvertently cultivated a place for people to send their anonymous rants, so I guess why not? It’s fine.

To be perfectly honest, though, there’s not a lot for me to reply to.

First, thank you so much for reading my fics! And for hating them 5% less that the series. I’m going to take it as a compliment. If it wasn’t meant that way, then let me live in delusion.

Of course, the characters in my fics are a bit more idealized. I write them the way I wanted them to be, which if you read other portions of my blog, is far from what PD has given us. That’s fine, they own the characters; they can write them however they want. But I wrote something that was self-indulgent and soothed over the parts of the series that hurt the most for me, or that I felt were the most intriguing. I wrote them for me first, and posted them in case it helped anyone else. I’m happy that people enjoy them, but I know they’re not everyone’s tastes.

Second, I guess I’ll say I’m sorry about Nightfall. The sour feeling of being let down, I think, is one that most of us are familiar with here.

Ummm. I do think it’s a little weird that you’ve read multiple PD books, and even finished the DN series… especially since you were looking forward to Will. Because I hated Will for the first three books and if I weren’t curious about Emory, I wouldn’t have finished the series at all. I also find it equally weird that your first impulse after finishing a series you hate is to go to the tag of the character you hated the most? I mean, I’ve definitely clicked on hot-takes I know I’m going to disagree with and hate-read things, but it’s not my go-to.

I’m sure the Emory tag is lovely.

I haven’t read any of PDs other books, so I don’t know how they compare.

Beyond that,

I swear, will grayson does not deserve emory scott, but thats my unpopularopinion.

Maybe if you were to poll everyone who has ever read the series, that would be an unpopular opinion, but I think if you look back about six months on this blog, you’ll probably find a dozen or so messages almost exactly like this. So, around these parts, it’s not such an unpopular opinion. I think most people who message me probably feel the exact same way.

But I’ve already written essays of poorly done character analysis to defend Will, Emory, their relationship, and his relationship with others. There’s not much for me to add to that without just restating myself. I share some of the same opinions as you, and some different ones. I don’t think your thoughts and feelings are very unpopular at all.

If you have any book recs thathave amazing female relationship between women, please do share, i need some cleansing from all these stupid male chars

Unfortunately, I haven’t had a lot of time to read lately, so all of my recommendations would be old. When I do have the time, I’ve been rereading stuff.

I also don’t have KU, so I’m not familiar with the catalog. I had it at one point, specifically to read Nightfall, and afterward I started a lot of different series, but there wasn’t a lot that caught my attention. I’m sure there are a lot of KU readers with blogs around that would be able to offer you a rec.

I have recently reread the English version of Hana Yori Dango, or Boys Over Flowers. One thing I noted was how amazing the female relationships are. They’re so positive, even when the girls are conflicted. It’s a manga, 37 volumes long, so of course it would take a diagram or a PowerPoint to break down how this is, but it was something I really appreciated on this read through. The girls are all very different, too, without feeling like they're cardboard cut-outs. If you’re at all interested in manga, and I know not everyone is so no worries, I highly recommend it. It’s honestly a superior take on the “4 rich boys who cause trouble” and their romances.

I’ve also been rereading Sempre, which I mentioned before. That’s sort of a mafia romance, but I would categorize it as dark. I’ve been noting how supportive the female relationships are there as well. I’ve really been enjoying that this time around.

And that brings me to a TV show, actually. I’ve mentioned it and reblogged a lot of Leverage stuff, but it truly is a comfort show for me. Parker sits very close to Emory in my heart, and I had hoped that Emory would have some of the same opportunities to develop relationships that Parker had. Parker’s relationship with Sophie is so interesting and nice to watch unfold.

In fact, something I haven’t said before because I don’t think anyone would understand it, is that I had hoped that Alex would become more like a Terra-type character. For anyone interested, here’s an episode. You’d need Amazon to watch it, but it’s probably free somewhere anyway.

Anyway, that’s all I got right now. I truly am sorry that it was such a bad experience for you. You’re welcome to stick around, but I’m sure since you hated so much, you’re ready to move on after unloading like that. But it’s all good either way. I hope you’re on to better and better things.

Take care of yourself!

With love and appreciation,

-KO

‼️ Attention Fob Fan Reading This ‼️

A few weeks ago, I posted the fourth annual fob census asking you all to answer a bunch of evil questions regarding fall out boy, and after getting 1.3k (!!!!!) responses, the results are finally in (below the 'keep reading'). I wanted to quickly say thank you to everybody who participated in this, it's so fun to do every year and it makes me so happy to see so many others enjoy it too!! Without further adieu, here are the results:

Disclaimers: Quickly I just wanted to warn that this is a long post- it's worth reading, the results are very interesting! But it's also a lot to get through, be prepared for that! Secondly, tumblr loves to destroy image quality- click on the image to see it better!

Question 1:

For the first question, you were simply asked what era you became a fan. The top 3 results were, as shown: 1. Save Rock And Roll Era (345 Responses) 2. American Beauty/American Psycho Era (268 Responses) 3. During The Hiatus (132 Responses) Not much to say about this one, every year the results are very similar. Most interesting is that over 100 people have become a fan in the last year!

Question 2:

The second question asked you for your favorite era, and the results were, as shown: 1. So Much (For) Stardust Era (550 Responses) 2. Infinity On High Era (191 Responses) 3. Save Rock And Roll Era (170 Responses) The impact of the newest era is clearly seen in this question! Some could say it's recency bias, only time will tell, but regardless smfs era absolutely dominates as peoples favorite!

Question 3:

Question three asked what your favorite album was, and this was one where I was incredibly interested to see if so much (for) stardust shook things up that much... And as shown in the top responses, it did not! 1. Folie A Deux (550 Responses) 2. Infinity On High (270 Responses) 3. From Under The Cork Tree (153 Responses) Last year, the order of the results was exactly the same. As I believe it has been every year... Folie is unbeatable

Question 4:

The next question asked for you to objectively say which fob album is the best, to see if the responses between favorite and best differed, and as you can see, they did: 1. So Much (For) Stardust (457 Responses) 2. Folie A Deux (389 Responses) 3. Infinity On High (297 Responses) It's so interesting to me to see that so many people believe stardust to be fob's best album, but even then do not consider it to be their favorite.

Question 5:

Now that we've gotten the favorite/best albums out of the way, it's time for least favorite/worst, with these being your least favorite fob albums: 1. Take This To Your Grave (375 Responses) 2. American Beauty/American Psycho (371 Responses) 3. Mania (308 Responses) Most interesting about these results, to me, are how much the top three responses sweep in comparison to the rest. While for the last two questions, the results were more spread, these are much more unanimous.

Question 6:

Question six asked for the objective worst fob album, and you responded as so: 1. Take This To Your Grave (517 Responses) 2. Mania (347 Responses) 3. American Beauty/American Psycho (328 Responses) All I have to add here is that the responses are even More unanimous... Tttyg sweep ig! fdjsnf

Question 7:

Going away from albums, the next question asked for your favorite EP, and you all responded as such: 1. Lake Effect Kid (404 Responses) 2. My Heart Will Always Be The B-Side To My Tongue (374 Responses) 3. Pax AM Days (337 Responses) Last year, lake effect kid was second and my heart was first- always very interesting to see how things shift, even slightly!

Question 8:

The next question had you saying your favorite album cover art, and you all decided these are the best covers: 1. Infinity On High (664 Responses) 2. Folie A Deux (195 Responses) 3. From Under The Cork Tree (176 Responses) I was very interesting to see where smfs would land, with it falling in the bottom half, not disrupting the top three at all. However, folie moved up a spot, swapping with futct. Ioh reigns supreme though!

Question 9:

These results came out identical to last year, but here are the top first fob songs you all heard: 1. Sugar, We're Goin' Down (347 Responses) 2. My Songs Know (171 Responses) 3. Dance, Dance (134 Responses) 4. Thnks Fr Th Mmrs (132 Responses) 5. Centuries (91 Responses)

Question 10:

Question 10 asked for your favorite fob song, a very subjective question that garnered many different responses, these came out on top: 1. Headfirst Slide (105 Responses) 2. Disloyal Order (73 Responses) 3. Hum Hallelujah (69 Responses)(nice) 4. Ginasfs (65 Responses) 5. 27 (55 Responses) I have many thoughts about these results and don't want to ramble too much, but will say, most interesting: This is the first time disloyal order isn't first for this question. A big change, I think!

Question 11:

We know now your subjective fav songs, but what about objective best? You all said: 1. So Much (For) Stardust (244 Responses) 2. Headfirst Slide (136 Responses) 3. Love From The Other Side (83 Responses) 4. What A Catch, Donnie (70 Responses) 5. Hum Hallelujah = Disloyal Order (66 Responses) Once again, lots of thoughts! We have our first tie, both smfs the song and album sweeping, and disloyal order once again Not topping the list! Huge changes!

Question 12:

This question is always the one i get the most excited about each year. It's also the one that gets the most varied responses, but these came out in the top: 1. Sunshine Riptide (56 Responses) 2. "From Now On We Are Enemies" (49 Responses) 3. You're Crashing, But You're No Wave (47 Responses) 4. Rat A Tat (40 Responses) 5. It's Not A Side Effect = Heaven's Gate This question changed a lot from last year, with sunshine riptide moving up three spots, and rat a tat, it's not a side effect, and heaven's gate showing up when they didn't before!

Question 13:

With underrated songs come overrated ones, and you all said these were the most overrated: 1. Centuries (330 Responses) 2. Sugar, We're Goin' Down (96 Responses) 3. My Songs Know (87 Responses) 4. Bang The Doldrums (67 Responses) 5. Immortals (62 Responses) Most of note- Bang the doldrums is here, when it simultaneously was voted pretty highly as a favorite song!

Question 14:

This was the first time I asked the question of what your favorite fob cover is, and you all decided these are the best three: 1. Love Will Tear Us Apart (297 Responses) 2. Beat It (278 Responses) 3. I Wanna Dance With Somebody (224)

Question 15:

Asking which song has the best lyrics is another one of my favorites to see, and this year you all said: 1. Hum Hallelujah (172 Responses) 2. So Much (For) Stardust (75 Responses) 3. You're Crashing, But You're No Wave (72 Responses) 4. Ginasfs (70 Responses) 5. Disloyal Order (67 Responses) It's not surprise these results are very similar to best song, and it's very deserved! These songs are on top every year, save for smfs being newly one of their best written songs!

Question 16:

This question asked how many times you've seen fob live, and the results are as shown: 1. 1-3 Times (780 Responses) 2. Haven't Seem Them Live Yet (353 Responses) 3. 4-6 Times (138 Responses) 4. 7-9 Times (42 Responses) 5. 10+ Times (37 Responses) Last year, a majority of people said they hadn't seen them live, so it makes me really happy to see now, a majority has! And i hope those that haven't get to soon!

Question 17:

Continuing with the tour theme, specific to this year, I asked what your favorite medley song was, and you all said: 1. Spotlight (New Regrets) (272 Responses) 2. I've Got A Dark Alley (165 Responses) 3. What A Catch, Donnie (146 Responses) 4. WAMS (133 Responses) 5. Get Busy Living (117 Responses) Seeing spotlight sweep made me happy, as it genuinely was the craziest moment. All of these were crazy, and so special- seeing each medley song get so much love just shows it <3

Question 18:

Now continuing with tourdust questions, I asked for your fav 8 ball song, here were your top 5: 1. Pavlove (372 Responses) 2. Ginasfs (184 Responses) 3. Bang The Doldrums (144 Responses) 4. "From Now On We Are Enemies" (80 Responses) 5. 27 (69 Responses) Similarly to before, each of these was so crazy and special, it's great to see they all got love. Pavlove swept massively, tho, as deserved i think

Question 19:

I think it goes without saying that each band member is loved and very important, but we all have our #1 babygirl, and here's who you all said was yours: 1. Patrick (676 Responses) 2. Pete (402 Responses) 3. Joe (160 Responses) 4. Andy (112 Responses) All i have to say is... kill that thing patrick <3

Question 20:

Our next miscellaneous question asks for your fav music video, and this year you all said these were your favorites: 1. A Little Less Sixteen Candles (275 Responses) 2. Dance, Dance (109 Responses) 3. Hold Me Like A Grudge (89 Responses) 4. America's Suitehearts = Miss Missing You (74 Responses) 5. I Don't Care (67 Responses) I was curious to see if a stardust mv would make it in, and was glad to see grudge did! Otherwise, very similar results to last year. Old favs die hard i suppose <3

Question 21:

Here, I asked for your favorite band that isn't fob but is related/adjacent to fob, and you all said: 1. My Chemical Romance (576 Responses) 2. Paramore (302 Responses) 3. I Don't Know How But They Found Me (88 Responses) 4. Cobra Starship = Green Day (75 Responses) 5. Gym Class Heroes (58 Responses) Not much changed from last year, other than green day getting more love, which is interesting to see! (Also, wanted to note that i did forget to include panic!... however less than 10 people wrote them in as an 'other', so results were not affected by that oversight!)

Question 22:

These last questions are all this or that style ones, with our first pairing being disloyal order and hum hallelujah: 1. Disloyal Order (762 Responses) 2. Hum Hallelujah (588 Responses) Interestingly, last year this match-up was a solid tie. Clearly, opinions have changed to make disloyal order sweep!

Question 23:

Our second this or that pit snitches and talkers vs you're crashing: 1. You're Crashing (808 Responses) 2. Snitches And Talkers (542 Responses) These were the top two underrated songs last year, so it's interesting to see which one is truly preferred!

Question 24:

Our last this or that, and last question, put centuries and my songs head to head: 1. My Songs Know (977 Responses) 2. Centuries (373 Responses) All the commentary I will provide is saying: is centuries even overrated anymore with it getting destroyed like this.... fkjdsnfks

And with that, the 2024 fob census comes to a close! If you've read this far or, really, participated at all in this in any way, I want to say thank you again! and that I hope you had fun with it, and that these results were interesting to look through! Also, will throw out there, I worked very hard on this and would appreciate a rb if you read all the way through it! <3 If you have any questions about any data or questions, want to see more in depth results or commentary or analysis from me, feel free to shoot me an ask/dm! See you next year for year 5! :-3

[fillupthisjude]

You were so nervous in the waiting room, but the experimental research would pay well. Well enough that you wouldn’t have to work for a year. It seemed too good to be true, but they had issues finding the perfect candidates apparently. The nurse called your name and you followed moving through the halls until you reached a large white room with a small group of doctors.

The nurse passed you a large hospital gown. “Here change into this and then you’ll step on the scale to take all your measurements before we give you your dose. When was the last time you had sex?” You blushed, and answered honestly with last night. The nurse nodded “okay, that shouldn’t be a problem, there might be some extra side effects, but nothing you wouldn’t have read in the contract”. You nodded, the contact was huge, but skimming it is the same as reading right? You quickly change into the oversized gown and followed the nurse past the group of doctors and onto the scale in the middle of the room. “Weight is 120 pounds. We’ll have you stay here during the observation. The drugs are fast acting, and the doctors will be present the whole time” the nurse hands you the pills and a glass of water and you take them all quickly.

You wait a few moments as the doctors loop around you taking notes. You’re about to mention you can’t feel anything when you start to feel slightly warm. The heat starts building starting at your core and working through your body. Then the aching started in your chest. “Candidate is making good progress so far. 5 pounds up already is more than expected but not alarming” the doctors make comments around you. Five pounds? You look down and sure enough the scale reads 125- no it’s going up 126 now. You gasp and reach up to touch your aching chest and realize it feels fuller. “First effects are occurring in the chest, hips shouldn’t be too far behind”. The aching spreads through your body. The doctors were right your hips are next, you feel an ache deep in your bones. Your hands go to massage them, but your hands miss them, they’re further apart, but how can that be? You look down and sure enough when your hands find the correct positioning they look bigger than before. The growth of your body would be startling if the number on the scale didn’t scare you more, a bright 140 pears back at you. 20 pounds over the course of a few minutes seems impossible. “Seeing the slight outline of a belly, too early to tell if it’s a product of candidates activities.” You move your hands to your stomach and feel a firm bulge that wasn’t there this morning. Your body continues to heat up, and the ache lowers itself, you feel yourself get wet. You press your thighs together to try to help, they squish together you’re shocked at the sudden surprise of softness. “Thighs and rear are growing to accommodate as well” you feel the doctor’s fingers poke into your once firm body and sink deeper into flesh. At first you think they’re poking deeper and deeper, but then you realize you’re just getting bigger and bigger. The previously large gown you were wearing is now feeling a lot less roomy. You feel hands roam your belly “based off of firmness and size it’s clear that candidate is either growing faster than usual or that the drug has allowed for multiples to grow”. You look down but your view is inhibited by your bump growing steady off your body, you look at least 6 months along with a single. You manage to look past it to see the numbers on the scale increasing faster than before 172..176..183. You close your eyes as the doctor’s hands begin to touch every side of you. Your body pushing and spreading those hands further apart. The gown is pulled tight across your body now, you feel like a sausage stuffed inside it. “Scissors to cut the candidate out of the gown please?” One of the doctors asks, as you hear the seams creaking, and split open. The gown is quickly discarded, your hands roam your new body, everything that was once slim and firm is now full, soft, plump and getting fatter by the minute. You feel flutters from your belly and moan, you’re past 9 months with a single baby, you widen your stance to make room for your growing frame, but find your thighs quickly fill in the new space. “We’ve long passed 200 pounds, and growth is just starting to slow. We’re likely looking at twins or triplets.” You whimper and try your best to look at your body, covered in stretch marks and dimpled fat. You feel your chest and gasp as you feel droplets of milk start to leak. One of the doctors grabs your ass and gives it a shake, you feel your whole body ripple with it causing more kicks to begin inside your expanding bump. You try to see the scale but your stomach eclipses it. The heat is starting to go away and the aching is less intense. Your hands cradle your bump now at least full term with triplets. “Growth has seemed to stop. It looks like the drugs are very successful not just in promoting fertility but in speeding through the pregnancy process. Candidate has landed at 285 and will be taken to ultrasound to confirm the number of fetuses present”.

You waddled with the nurse towards the ultrasound room still adjusting to your new found weight. At least with the payment you’ll be able to take care of you and your babies for the next while.

[danhengslover]

Byakuya is an important figure in many senses, but especially because of his relationship with Rukia and his character development.

or; i write a byakuya character analysis and you read it!

Byakuya is a prideful and very wise character, he is the captain of the 6th division and the head of the Kuchiki Clan at the time of the story. He is far more over-hated than deserved at the beginning of the Soul Society arc, as many people see him just for how he treated Ichigo and Rukia, letting his sister go on to be executed rather shamelessly.

However, part of the reason for Byakuya being so cold when Rukia returned to the soul society was his late wife, and Rukia’s older sister, Hisana. She was a commoner from a crime-ridden district. Byakuya had broken the rules just by marrying her, which affected Byakuya’s prideful image of himself. It wasn’t long before she had fallen ill with no chance of saving her.

Her final wish before she passed was for Byakuya to treat Rukia as his younger sister, and to let her call him brother. This can be seen in chapter 179, where he tells Rukia about her sister and the reason for his distance and coldness towards her since she had been brought in and returned from the living world. “Marrying somebody from the Rukongai was against our laws. Many in the family resisted. They said it would sully our reputation.”

Byakua believed he was letting his family down by marrying a commoner and then proceeding to bring in Rukia, “that is why after I took you in, I swore at the graves of my parents that I would never again break the law. I swore from then on I would uphold it whatever the cost.” That cost is his relationship with Rukia. He was both cold and distant to the young soul reaper, purposely keeping her out of a seated position within the Gotei 13 before Ichigo’s arrival.

Jumping back just three chapters before 179, in 176 and 177 Byakuya saves Rukia from Gin, taking a sword to the chest. This in itself is a big growth for his character as he moves past his barriers. Should he uphold his parents' wish and the law or his late wife's wish? He chooses the latter, thanking Ichigo indirectly as Rukia and Unohana sit at the injured Captain's side after the battle.

Both Ichigo and Byakuya learned from each other, Byakuya especially in their second fight during chapters 152 and onward. Ichigo is confronted by Byakuya, who asks why he is so insistent on saving her, Ichigo seems surprised by this, asking Byakuya questions of his own.

“There's something I want to know myself. Aren’t you Rukia’s brother? Why won't you save her?!” (153)

Byakuya does little to answer him, brushing off the question claiming Ichigo would not understand regardless if he told him, which most certainly has something to do with Byakuya’s views on laws, his honor, and his pride. Ichigo however does not let up and continues to bite at Byakuya’s pride and honor, “Execute your own sister? That's twisted. I don't give a crap about your sense of duty or your honor. I won't let you say that in front of Rukia ever again.” (160)

“Your so-called honor demands that you kill Rukia. If that's the case then stepping on your honor is the reason I achieved bankai!” (162)

“The Kuchiki are one of the four great noble houses. We have to set an example for all soul reapers, if we do not uphold the law… who will?” (167)

After the battle Byakuya realizes just how far Ichigo was willing to go, telling Byakuya if he were in his place, he would fight the law, and fight to save Rukia even if it meant going against what he stood for. After Ichigo says this to him, Byakuya pauses for a moment, reminded briefly of Kaien Shiba, “I was never his enemy. He's been fighting the laws of the soul society. He’s similar, to the one whose ferocity I found distasteful”

This turns Byakuya away as he gives up on his pursuit of Rukia, giving Ichigo the battle.

“Your ferocity has broken my sword. I will pursue Rukia no more. The battle is yours”

His defeat to Ichigo was one of the most important things when it came to building his character. It let him rediscover himself and the love he held for those closest to him. He had severed his relationship with Rukia, placing the law above her. Hearing Ichigo speak so strongly he once again remembers the freedom and enjoyment that came with placing those closest to him above all.

Another important fight within the series would be Byakua’s fight with Zommari, the 7th Espada. After coming to Rukia’s aid, saving her from being finished off after her own battle, Byakuya takes on Zommari. Across the duration of the fight, Zommari takes over Rukia, aiming her blade at her throat, to which Byakuya binds her in place–keeping her from further harm. By the end of the fight, Zommari is furious with Byakuya, saying he had no right as a Soul Reaper to slay hollows

“What makes you think I'm acting as a soul reaper? I'm going to slay you because you aimed your blade at my pride.” (302)

That pride being Rukia.

The seventh Espada acts as a parallel to Byakuya during the earlier chapters, Zommari is blinded by his power and pride, and Byakuya even tells Zommari that the reason he had lost was due to his arrogance. The fight shows more growth between the two, the pride is no longer his strength but his love for Rukia and so when Zommari threatens to kill her, Byakuya strikes him down.

He didn’t kill the Espada because it was his duty as a soul reaper, but rather his duty as a brother.

At the beginning of the Quincy invasion, Byakuya is up against the Sternritter Äs Nödt, who holds the power of fear. Fear wasn’t something present in Byakua’s mind, as when he had become a captain and the looming burden of leading the Kuchiki Clan, fear was something he had to suppress. As a Soul Reaper, one cannot fear a battle, as it is their duty, so when Äs Nödt presents this concept of fear Byakuya is mistaken.

“Fear..? That is absurd. There is no battle without fear, I've overcome it every time I survived a life-or-death situation” (501) He believes it is something he has already overcome. While he may have, the true thing he fears is losing the person he cares most about, Rukia. The image of Rukia that Äs Nödt implants into him causes Byakuya to freeze, leading to his ultimate defeat.

Later, further into TYBW, there is another big jump in Byakuya’s character as he encounters Äs Nödt again, while Rukia is the one fighting. When he arrives, he catches Nödt by surprise, weakening the Sternritter as he goes on to praise her, “Rukia, as I was coming down here I kept feeling your spiritual pressure. You’ve become strong Rukia.” this praise also comes from a place of acknowledgment, Byakuya had overcome his fears and insecurities, which made it clear how Rukia felt. it was easier to acknowledge that Rukia had never felt properly acknowledged for her strength by her brother, though this changes during this fight.

“My brother... my brother thinks I've… become strong” (569).

During this panel, it is easy to tell that his words have a large impact on her as tears form in her eyes and brief images of the past are visible. Past events in which Byakuya was colder, and less kind to her. Nonetheless, the fight continues, it is brief as Byakuya watches Rukia perform her bankai, leading to more praise from her brother “That was a magnificent bankai, but it’s a difficult bankai. Half a misstep and you lose your life. It’s a perilous bankai. Handle it with caution, never be impatient” (570).

It is clear how much Byakuya has grown to admire her and her capabilities, clear in not only his actions but his words too; “Let’s go Rukia, let’s go protect the soul society” he has swallowed his pride and moved on to treat her as an equal, no longer looking down at her in the eyes of the man he used to be.

Overall, It openly shows the amount of change he went through both as a Captain and a brother.

that is all! thank you for reading 🩵

A Jewish cemetery right near where I used to live, in my city, got vandalized. 176 gravestones damaged, knocked over, broken. That’s 176 people who used to be alive and part of the community. 176 families whose loved ones had their place of rest desecrated.

https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2024/07/04/fbi-offers-reward-for-information-about-jewish-cemetery-vandalism/74303851007/

The worst part is, I don’t know whether it was a bunch of right-wing assholes with an antisemitic stick up their ass, or whether it was some sort of misguided leftist act of “resistance”. Or whether it was a bunch of ridiculous people just messing about. (But I honestly don’t think it was that last one. Not on that scale.)

People say “oh if you’re not a Zionist then you’re safe.” For how long? How long until the window of what’s considered “valid” shifts? How long will it take before Zionist just means “Jew”? Has it happened already?

If they haven’t already, people are going to ask “well, how many people in that cemetery were Zionists?” and then think that the answer is going to make a difference.

I’m tired and scared. I’m so tired of my leftist circles when people hate others like me, cover it in buzzwords and then openly call it justice. I’m tired of right wing circles hating people like me and not even bothering to hide it. I feel like there’s nowhere for us to go anymore, but I feel like I’d be fooling myself if there ever really was.

I spent my whole childhood scared about people hating Jews, and I grew up to realize it never even stopped.

i don’t have anything to add except i’m sorry and i’m scared too.

It was no secret that, sometimes, loud crashes would be heard inside Ramshackle Dorm, either early in the morning or at night. Of course, everyone knows that the magicless student lives there, and that there are ghosts living inside too, but the ghosts were never that loud. Nor destructive.

Nobody questions it, because if Yuuma would never give a straight answer, they'll be all going nowhere.

[away-ward]

Thank you for your reply, KO! This is the anon from #asked and answered 176.

1 yes i like your fics, i like no apologies the most because we had insights to emmy's career and life in sf. Emmy might find herself boring, but ive always been a busy body reader so i would eat up everything about her personal and professional life in sf. I still hated will there, but thanks to you i hated him 5% less

2 "Ummm. I do think it’s a little weird that you’ve read multiple PD books, and even finished the DN series… especially since you were looking forward to Will. Because I hated Will for the first three books and if I weren’t curious about Emory, I wouldn’t have finished the series at all."

KO, you've underestimated a loyal hate reader's journey of hate reading 😂 i love pd's writing and i love some of their books that were not DN because of the chemistry of the main lovers (theyre not bad as many have said actually), but i still hated the ongoing misogynistic dynamic that they always had in their books. Its like having an author that you majorly like what they do, but their side mistakes were big enough to irritate you so you remember them, kinda thing. Do you have these kinds of author that feel like this towards? To answer this simply: pd's books are like worms for brain for me. Like when i read books by Colleen hoover, or hd carlton, sophie lark, lauren asher, or susanne valnti &peckham. It's the kind of toxicity you need from time to time but still get mad and disappointed by your low expectation at their shit ass plot and mfcs and fmcs anyway, yk. 

KO, i cant lie, im just a hater first, a hate reader second and a reader third 🤣 once i stop, i cnat quit. Like damon torrance, that punk ass devils night philosopher said, sometimes you just want to feel everything including the ugly ones you know, and like michael crist the logician, you just gotta own it, before it owns you, GOD HAHAHAH i cant believe im using them as my metaphors right now!! Please bare with me here.

3 "I also find it equally weird that your first impulse after finishing a series you hate is to go to the tag of the character you hated the most? I mean, I’ve definitely clicked on hot-takes I know I’m going to disagree with and hate-read things, but it’s not my go-to."

hmm? KO, i think... youre just not as toxic of a reader than me, ohmygod, im so sorry! 🤣☠️ im really of those people that will immideately look up one and two star ratings on goodreads so that i know my feelings and thoughts were validated by other haters, lmao! Do not mind me, its not a good thing, but like damon torrance said, live, love, laugh, and hate, you know 🤩

4 thank you so much for your recs, i also actually grew up watching hana yori dongo! I watched the kdrama version too but idk if i'll watch the thai version. I have less patient for dramas now unfortunately, and the last drama i watched was "celebrity" on netflix, and i still havent finished it, even after 3 month ☠️ I used to love kdramas and lee minho was so popular back then, so i also watched him in "the heirs" too. Ohmygod his hairsyles in both dramas (boys over flowers and the heirs) were so funny, but i remember enjoying these stories a lot. I believe these two kdramas were released during the time where kdramas were having a lot more angsty romantic relationship than platonic ones and they both stood out among many others, not only because of lee minho, park shinhye and bunch of k-idols acting there, but also because of the friendships and platonic relationships shown that were fun to watch. It's a break from other dramas like moon embracing the sun, or my love from another star that were romance-heavy, yk. But tbh, i prefer my love from another star and moon embracing the sun more than bof/hyd and the heirs. If there are two recs i'd like to give you, they would be "hotel del luna" and "sky castle". God damn, i cried in every single episode watching these two dramas. They really touched my soul, everything was so good!

5 i havent scrolled through your blog and notice your recs for sempre, but from your recs, i checked and saw its goodreads rating and it's pretty high! Maybe i'll check it out if im interested. Seems like a mafia gang story? I need to be in the mood to be reading mafia stories because my first ones were from reading kpop mafia fanfics from years ago and the latest and the last one were the made series by danielle lori. The made series were entertaining but i noticed that i didnt care much about mafias? Hahahahah idk, and idc much about vampires, and wolf stories either, but i like faes. Not Sarah j maas type of faes, but holly black's and cassandra clare's. The ones that are beautiful, creepy, complicated and loves/have to lie but cant. So yeah, thanks for recommending sempre!

6 as for alex, im tired of her, and honestly i dont want to think about her anymore. I'll pretend nightfall alex never existed, and nightfall will grayson fucking died a gruesome death, becoming of two stupid selfish best friends who think theyre the only suffering in this world. You know this reminded me of a quote by madeline miller's Circe that really fits will's selfish behaviour especially in blackchurch: “He showed me his scars, and in return he let me pretend that I had none.” thats exctly how i felt throughout blackchurch. Because emmy always had to heavylift whatever bullshit that alexwillaydin put out to her. And as someone who was so used to just move forward and not caring about her small losses because she had suffered worse, emmy just had to act like she was okay with all the little hurts and cruelty cause by people, just because she loved them/will and wanted to not give up on him and give him a second chance, because he was hurting and she understood that he cared then (🙄). Good thing, she admitted she was at fault partly too, but god, i hated when she felt like she need to go above and beyond for a man who admitted didnt care enough about her. Gods, these mf men need therapy frfr.

7 "I truly am sorry that it was such a bad experience for you. You’re welcome to stick around, but I’m sure since you hated so much, you’re ready to move on after unloading like that. But it’s all good either way. I hope you’re on to better and better things." 

No need to be sorry, but you're right, i'm starting some new reads right now, and idk why, but kandi steiner, liz tomforde and laura pavlov really do be hitting with their releases!! Like their stories are not dark romance so tat cleansed me from devils night series a bit, and they are so fun to read! They gave me melanie harlow's vibes. If anyone's interested, i suggest checking out Blindside by Kandi Steiner, Right Move by Liz Tomforde, and all of these four authors backlogs tbh. Kandi Steiner even have like a college frat series? Which i havent checked out but it sounds fun, and its called Palm South University series.

I dont have anything else to add as well, thank you for reading my rants, have a nice day! I think this will be my last one, so goodbye!

KO, you've underestimated a loyal hate reader's journey of hate reading

Hey!! Okay. This is very helpful! Thank you for the insight. I’m not a stranger to hate watching/reading and (used to) do it frequently. And I would complain to all my friends about all the horrible stuff that was happening, but they knew I was having a good time.

It’s harder when I don’t really know who I’m talking to, to tell if I should take it seriously or if they’re enjoying the trash like me. We’re completely on the same page in that case so ignore very thing I said about not getting it. If you’re having a good time hating it, I got you!

i think... youre just not as toxic of a reader than me, ohmygod, im so sorry!

I might not be anymore but I definitely used to be, ngl. And I don’t know if you can end up running a DN blog without having some toxicity left in you??? I mean. We’re not here because this work was a masterpiece, am I right?

I don’t currently have any authors I must read/hate-read. Like I’ve said, I haven’t had the time to get into a lot of new stuff lately, and my tastes have changed. They could always change back, since reading is a mood-based activity. For now, though, I’ve left the dark and toxic behind for something that makes me feel good about the world.

i also actually grew up watching hana yori dongo! I watched the kdrama version too but idk if i'll watch the thai version. I have less patient for dramas now unfortunately

Oh my god the Kdrama! It was my first Kdrama. Fond memories. And no worries, I haven’t touched any drama in years. Truthfully, I think the only reason I can get into the Thai version is because of the familiarity.

but from your recs, i checked and saw its goodreads rating and it's pretty high! Maybe i'll check it out if im interested. Seems like a mafia gang story?  

It is, kinda? But it’s really layered, with a good plot and great characters. I could ramble about it for a while, but I don’t think anyone is interested currently, so I won’t burden you with it 😂

holly black's and cassandra clare's

I did really like the folk of the air series, and I read the spiderwick chronicles in middle school, but I haven’t gone back to holly black in a long time. I did want to read the new one but haven’t had the chance.

--

Oof Alex. Now that I know where you’re coming from, I can completely agree. I’ve been re-reading and analyzing her intro in Nightfall and how weird it was; how it derailed everything in the worse way. Sometimes, when writers are stuck on where to go with a scene or plot, there’s a tactic that’s recommended: have someone walk in with a gun. It causes enough of a upheaval to keep the plot moving. I’m not sure if that was what Alex was supposed to do, but it really didn’t work for me for a lot of reasons.

Because emmy always had to heavylift whatever bullshit that alexwillaydin put out to her. And as someone who was so used to just move forward and not caring about her small losses because she had suffered worse, emmy just had to act like she was okay with all the little hurts and cruelty cause by people,

Yes! She had to work so hard just for a little, and what killed me the most is reading her scenes where she agrees with them.

She has the moments of clarity, where it seems she remembers why she did what she did, and she's not sorry, and that she wasn’t to blame for what happened to Will. Then next minute… she’s back to blaming herself for no reason? I’ve said many times before that Emory’s guilt is misplaced, and at certain times, it can’t be ignored that it was really PD pushing this “Emory deserves this” narrative, but I just can’t jive with it at all. There's a question on her good reads page where she says that she thinks Will is the most justified in his hatred.

And just... no. He's not. Literally none of them were justified in their hatred. They had the right to feel wronged. Sometimes we feel wronged, even if we carry some of the blame for what happened. But to say they were justified is just over the line. I really wish PD had more balance when it come to assigning blame. I think this series would have benefitted if one of the themes of the story was that everyone makes decisions, and right or wrong, we have to living with them. These are the consequences.

Like their stories are not dark romance so tat cleansed me from devils night series a bit, and they are so fun to read!

Yeah, it’s always nice to find something new that works! Thanks for the recs. I hope if anyone is looking, they’ll look them up. Sorry I didn’t have more strong female friendships, but they can be tough to find in todays romance climate.

I totally get you not coming back. It was absolutely a blast talking to you and thanks for the clarification! It always helps.

Have a great one, KO

Hello to friends in Palestine 👋🇵🇸

I write here to let you all know of my life. I have been blessed with a new home to move to. Because of this, I will be quite busy for the next few weeks. I make an effort to answer all messages sent to me in time, and to donate weekly to as many campaigns as I am able. I won't have the same funds or time to do this, but this does not mean I am stopping my aid forever, it will simply be a few weeks before I can give it my full attention again. During this time, I ask my followers to help the people of Gaza by your own means. Keep boycotting companies. Get involved with local organizations. Share campaigns, not just here on tumblr, but anywhere you know that the word will be seen. Use your skills to boost the visibility of a campaign. Donate if you can. I know finances are a difficult thing for many people, but the only way the people of Gaza can survive this genocide is by evacuating. That can only be done with the help of your donation. Many of us are blessed to live in a place where we have not had to worry about explosives overhead, taking our homes, families, and friends from us, much less for over a years time. Every bit counts towards the survival of a family, so please consider helping just one if that's all you can do.

These are campaigns who have not made even 10% of their goal. Amal & Naser (#135) Abed Al-Rahman (90-ghost) Duaa Jad Al-Haq (90-ghost) Ahmed Aldani (#198) Majed (vetted through association) Habib (#187) Kawthar Ramadan (#145) Mohamed Al-Shawish (#86) Mohammed Hassouna (#93) Jaber Al-Haj (90-ghost) Ibrahim Almughanni (#220) Mohamed Sliman (#215) Ashraf & Abeer Alserr (#79) Essam Ahmed Salah (90-ghost) Maha Alzenati (#149) Mohamed Al Mashni (90-ghost) Leena Khamiss (#103) Ammar Hammad (90-ghost) Omar Hammad (90-ghost) Fadel Aldani (#197) Mahmoud Al-Sir (#333) Ahlam Mahdi (#73) Ebrahem Adel (#129) Shaima & Ibrahim (#62) Kaleed Sameer (vetted here) Samir Al-Nasla (#112) Ahmed Sadeq (90-ghost) Ayman Mokdad (#94) Ibrahim Al-Habil (#144) Hanan (#140) Sondos Jad Al-Haq (#70) Mohammed Almbasher (#118) Ali Muqdad (#54) Nada Al-Farra (90-ghost) Talal Baroud (#181) Najah Al-Haila (#49) Abed (#176) Baraa Alshorafa (#34) You can find more vetted campaigns through gaza vetters and gaza evacuation funds. Thank you for reading my post and I hope for your happiness, health, and safety.

6. A Manga panel you can talk about for hours?

and 13 i lost my copy paste im so sorry

6. A manga panel you can talk about for hours?

Oh, this is so unfair because I have plenty of answers here and most of them would be Yuji. But if I couldn't say Yuji, there is one moment I can't wait to be animated from the Culling Game Arc. So, spoiler alert!

It's this part right here in chapter 176.

When she did this that technique became one of my favorites and Uro jumped into my favorite character lists easily (among other reasons). I can't wait to see how her technique will be animated! I find it to be one of the most unique ones in the story.

13. Which character do you think deserves more screen time or development?

Other than Uro, mentioned above, I gotta give this to Toge here. I wish he got a lot more spotlight. He is right up there for favorite characters of mine because I find him rather interesting. There's little about him onscreen, yet the detail of how his family is shunned because of the Cursed Speech technique is something I think about a lot.

Mr. Bryson Comes to Visit

(AI generated art by Jammer Link)

‘Just so you know, my dad came in this weekend,’ my boyfriend texted me.

I let out a groan. I’d just finished a workout and didn’t need to have his dad here. Part of it was just because of the unexpected company. The rest was because there was this new gummy supplement that I’d been taking that had some unusual side effects.

Don’t get me wrong, it was unbelievable for muscle growth. I’d been a pretty average gym goer until I started taking them, but with them I wouldn’t stop growing. It could be up to almost a pound of muscle a day. I’d been a standard jock at 5’10” and 176 pounds but after taking them for a couple of months I’d shot up to 6’1” and was nearing 215 pounds. My gains were unprecedented. People in the gym begged me for my secrets. I wouldn’t tell them.

It was due to the side effects. Immediately after taking them, I’d become incredibly dominant. That wouldn’t be a problem; but then every man in the area would get a whiff of my scent and then become incredibly submissive. I only tried them once in the gym and I had damn near every guy asking to help me lift and running their hands across my body. It was so hard to fight off. It was nice with my boyfriend, a little less fun with complete strangers. Though, my boyfriend suggested that I try it again, but he has to be around that time.

“Mr. Bryson?” I called as I returned home. “Hello?”

“Over here boy,” a deep and powerful voice summoned me. It didn’t sound familiar, but I felt an uncontrollable urge to do as he said. A strange smell lingered in the house. I smelled it deeper.

‘Oh shit…’ I suddenly realized what was going on. Especially when I walked into the living room. There stood an unbelievably jacked man. No shirt. No shoes. But someone I definitely wanted to service. My mouth hung open as I took in the absolute mountain of a man. He had to be 7’ tall and had to weigh over 500 pounds. I thought my growth was big, this was beyond next level.

“M-Mr. Bryson?” I stammered as I looked him up.

He grunted in the affirmative. I felt my dick go hard. “Just so you know I found some candy and ate the whole thing. Real good shit.”

“Of course, sir! Our home is your home!” my fingers flexed. Partially out of rage, but a deeper urge of lust. I was in a battle to not just curl up under that man’s massive and run my hands down his body.

“Good man,” he pat my shoulder as he splayed his body down on the leather couch. His feet went far past the arm rest. Those massive hands went between his legs and started to play with his cock, almost absentmindedly. The smell intensified. I felt a deep longing moan escape me.

“H-how’s work!” I forced out. It was the most neutral thing I could think of. My head was swarming with all sorts of ideas. My boyfriend had given me so many. From sniffing my armpits to licking my feet, all of them were buzzing around in my head but I was doing them to this giant.

“Fucking sucks,” Mr. Bryson grunted. “Got a piece of shit boss that really needs to hear a piece of my mind. Don’t know why I haven’t told that little fucker off yet. Doesn’t know his face from his ass.”

I squirmed in my seat. Hearing the man talk was nearly as good as sex itself. Though, the thought that his passive side was completely gone seemed to be the reason. I’d always thought he was a bit too weak willed and never stuck up for himself. But now? There was no one who would even think twice about it.

“You treatin my boy well?” Mr. Bryson asked.

“Huh? Oh yes sir! I try to make him happy everyday.”

“Oh? How?”

“Sex!” I blurted out. I instantly covered my mouth. I hadn’t meant to say it. It just came out.

Mr. Bryson’s eyebrow raised. “Oh? And who’s on top?”

“I-I-I am sir. He likes to be on bottom,” I answered.

“Hmmm…” Mr. Bryson seemed to be mulling something over. His hand went to his chin and scratched the stubble on it. “Show me.”

“S-s-show you?” My dick throbbed. A longing moan escaped me. I may have been across the room, but I almost jumped at the chance.

“Show me,” he repeated. His voice sterner. “Show me what he does to show you he likes it.”

My sex addled brain complied. “Hey there big guy,” I strutted over to him. I dropped down to my knees. My hand went to his chest and gently rubbed the huge pec. The musk was overwhelming. There was no more fighting it. My nose went deep into his pit and gave it a powerful whiff. The smell of his sweaty BO filled my head only making me all the more excitable.

“It wasn’t too rough of a day at work now, was it?” I continued playing the sub. I was surprisingly good at imitating my boyfriend. My hand gently parsed through the hair running along Mr. Bryson’s abs. I leaned in for a kiss. His scruff scratched against my bare face. He accepted my kiss and our tongues wrestled. He led the tempo, but I could keep up. “Well. I can make it all better.” I giggled as I pulled away.

My finger traced the outline of his massive pecs. They danced their way down to his abs. Then found it’s way into his shorts. The man was already hard. His cock throbbed as I grabbed it. Even though my hand’s were massive, it still felt like I was holding onto a beer can. I gently stroked it. “How’s that make you feel?”

“Good…” Mr. Bryson grunted. His body flexed. Hands gripped whatever they could. Under his strength he accidently snapped the back of the couch. That would have to be a problem for another day.

Right now, I was a bit distracted. Especially as I pulled the rod out of his shorts. My eyes went wide. My mouth hung open. I’d never been a cock sucker, but God damn did I want to shove it into my mouth. But then there were other ideas. My hole quivered. I let out a moan.

“Well, boy?” Mr. Bryson demanded.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I straddled Mr. Bryson’s massive body and lined his cock up with my ass. I could feel the pre already dripping and coating my ass and his cock. I pressed down on it. My hands clawed at his abs at the pressure. I couldn’t help myself. A deep sensual moan escaped me as my body writhed. Little by little I worked my way down onto his cock. I’d only taken my boyfriend’s a couple of times and it was no where near as big or wide as this. Somehow the gummy supplements must have been help open me up.

Mr. Bryson bucked as more of his cock was engorged by my ass. His eyes went wild as his body gave into the sexual drive. All that confidence and strength meant nothing under his sexual arousal. I could feel his cock throb with delight. Each thrust I gave him sent another wave of pleasure rocketing through him. He couldn’t help himself. His back arched and he finished inside me.

“Oh fuck!” I called out as I couldn’t help myself, splattering his furry chest with my own seed. I rode Mr. Bryson’s wild ride and then fell limp on his body. His big arms wrapped around me.

“Well… Guess if my boy treats you this well, you ain’t half bad…”
