I Desire Your Attention(Toshinori Yagi x Fem!Reader)

warnings: smut, lewd and suggestive themes, Small Might form, insecurities, oral sex(male receiving), daddy kink, age gap word count: 1k pairings: Toshinori Yagi x Fem!Reader summary: Toshinori always feels like he's holding you back, but he wants to prove to you that he can still be so sexy for you. you come home to a very nice surprise. a/n: INSPIRED BY THIS AMAZING DRAWING BY THE LOVELY @mightytato !!!! Thank you for being awesome and drawing such amazing Toshi pics <3 dividers by @adornedwithlight

Even if you try your best to remind him that you are more than just attracted to him, Toshinori will always feel insecure. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t use his muscular form anymore, he’d be able to feel just the slightest bit more secure in his looks. For you, he tries to see it but when he looks in the mirror, all he sees is a sickened, weakened skeleton of a man.

He thinks he could never keep you. You were an angel and you could be with someone so much better than him. Someone younger and who was closer to your own age. Someone with better stamina and who wouldn’t just hold you back. Someone who could make you happier than he ever could.

Throughout the day, you send him texts to remind him what time you’ll be home. It makes him happy that you’re so willing to be communicative with him like this, but it hurts his heart in a way.

He begins to think about you. Your angelic smile that always brightens his day. The way you say his name makes all the hair on his body stand on end. He thinks about how long it’s been since he’s been intimate with you and while his insecurities are yelling at him to forget about it, he knows what he has to do.

You come home later in the evening, excited to spend the night with your lover. You recognize that your schedules don’t always coincide the best, but making time for one another is important to both of you.

“Toshi?” you call as you enter his apartment using the spare key he gave you.

When you don’t hear an answer, you begin looking around for him. You think maybe he’s nodded off while grading papers. But you are so so so so wrong…

Your eyes widen when you see him in his office. With your mind so scrambled, you don’t even know where to look. His tie is undone and laying on his shoulders. His dark eyes are filled with such a lustful look. He smirks at you before biting his finger, giving him an even lewder look than before.

You can’t help the way your eyes trail down, looking at the chest that’s exposed. A few buttons unbuttoned is all it takes for that button-up shirt to cling to his pecs. Then slowly you look even further down, and that’s when you let out a little gasp.

His belt is unbuckled, taken off and the zipper to his pants is unzipped. You can see a bulge in his pants, and you know that he’s got to be somewhat aroused. Was he waiting for you? Was this your surprise?

“Why don’t you come sit on daddy’s lap, hm?” His voice was deep and gruff.

Your stomach flips as your brain tries to do mental acrobatics to understand just what’s going on. He winks at you, using the finger he was biting on to beckon you closer. You drop your bag and you make your way over to him, straddling his lap.

“Do you have any idea what you’ve just done to me?” you ask before kissing him hungrily. “You don’t know just how fucking sexy you look right now, do you?”

He swallows hard as he listens to your words and feels you kissing down his neck. His heart is racing in his chest. Toshinori knew he wanted to surprise you and he knew this would probably work, but damn this worked even better than he thought.

“There’s no way you think I’m that attractive.”

He’s shut up with you grinding your hips. Toshinori whines as your crotch rubs against the bulge in his pants. You do it again and again, showing him just how sexy you thought he is. You could never truly understand how he doesn’t know how good looking he is.

“You did this for me? All this? God, you must have wanted to kill me.” You breathe out in a wanton voice.

Your hands busy themselves with unbuttoning his shirt, revealing the rest of his chest to you. Your fingers gently run across the small patch of hair on his lower belly. He shudders at your touch, and he lets out a cute moan when you kiss lower and bite down on one of his pecs.

“Beautiful fucking man,” you groan as you continue leaving love bites in your wake. “Doesn’t even fucking know how beautiful he is.”

Toshinori whines and shudders; your words were proving to be almost too much. The bulge in his pants grows as he gets even more hard. He begins to buck his hips against you the more you bite down on his chest.

“You have no idea what kind of effect you have on me, sweetness.” He whispers hoarsely. “I feel like I’m going to lose my mind.”

You look up at him, smirking. “Poor pent up Toshi…”

You get on your knees in front of him, helping him pull down his pants. Then you begin to toy with him through his boxers; you make the little stain of pre get a little bigger. Then when you pull down his boxers, he’s a moaning mess.

“Look at you, daddy. At my mercy.” You say before licking the slit on his cock. 

He grips the arms of the chair hard, trying his best not to buck his hips up and hurt you completely. He wants to trust you with his pleasure because he knows you’ll always make him feel so good. With hooded eyes full of pure lust and love, Toshinori looks down at you and watches as you wrap your lips around the thick cockhead.

“F-fuck…” he says through gritted teeth.

His fingers tangle in your hair but he doesn’t dare push you. Your pace will be teasing, but he also knows it’ll feel so good. Toshinori knows you won’t withhold his orgasm; quite the contrary, you’ll probably overstimulate him until he’s just a puddle on this very seat. He’s in good hands.

Halloween Hotness

Prompt – Wearing A Sexy Halloween Costume

This also would count for Kinktober I believe

Sorry for the corny title! I figured I should write something for spooky season. This also stems a little bit from the new Tales of the TMNT series on Paramount+. I thought it was adorable and sad how the guys all had these great Halloween costumes and never even got to enjoy the party.

This is the first time I've written a turtle x reader and I decided not to use (Y/N). It just feels out of place in my writing, writing ‘you’ is hard enough, I’m so not used it. Please be gentle, it was really difficult to get the tense right.

Thankfully, my lovely friend @danceingfae helped me edit this.

Michelangelo x Reader

Content Warning: Aged up characters, 18+, smut, female reader, penetrative sex and mild sexual harassment.

Bayverse Turtles but could easily be another iteration.

In this prompt you decide to surprise your SO turtle boyfriend (Mikey in this case) with a sexy costume on the way to a party on Halloween.

Mikey absolutely loved Halloween, if he had to choose, it’s his favourite holiday. He loved the whole scene: dressing up, feeling like a regular guy and free candy! What’s not to love? This year you both agreed on a couple’s costume. He was going to be dressed as Bat-Turtle and you were going as Catwoman.

“Almost ready, Babe?” He called, bouncing on the balls of his feet in anticipation. His brothers were all doing their own thing out and about and you two were about to head to April’s Penthouse Halloween Party.

Sticking out your tongue, you carefully swiped the black eyeliner along the lower eyelid and placed the finishing touches on the top lid. Your cat-eye liner just had to be perfect. “Almost!” You called back.

The costume you picked out consisted of black leather with matching lacy black underwear. Slipping it on, you turned this way and that noting the lines of your bra showing under the suit and frown not liking how obvious they were. Not needing a bra anyways, especially with the tight leather pushing the girls up, you discard it then zip the suit all the way up, rubbing your hands over the now smooth area. Last touch was your mask, ears, thigh-high boots and sexy cat tail. Smirking at your image you stick you tush out and give it a wiggle while thinking, Catwoman, eat your heart out.

All Mikey had asked is for you to find a costume. He didn’t know exactly what he was going to see when you emerged. He hummed ‘spooky scary skeletons’ while he waited.

“I’m ready!” You sang, skipping out to join him.

Mikey turned to look, a huge smile coming to his face. “Awesome, Babycakes! That means we can… go…” he trailed off, mesmerized at the sight of you. “Holy shit…” He breathed, taking a long look at you.

You gave him a twirl. “Do I look okay?” You asked innocently. You knew you were having an effect on him and you loved it.

When he finally found his voice there was a husky edge to it. “Y-yeah…” he cleared his throat, jumping around you to get a better look, his cape swirling as he moved. “You look AMAZING! You look super hot, Babe!”

Your cheeks turned a little pink as you smiled, very pleased with his reaction. “Thanks, you look great too.” You lightly fingered the soft fabric of his cape and traced your finger around the horns of the mask he wore. “Shall we go?”

“Yeah!!” He replies, still a little dazed by your beauty but excited to show you off at the party. “Just watch, you’re gonna be the hottest babe there!”

You giggled as you walked toward the exit, your tail swishing hypnotically along with your hips.

Mikey is once again distracted by the way the leather tightly accentuates your ass. “So fucking sexy…” He whispered before following you and putting his arm around your shoulders.

Mikey is somewhat of a celebrity, word had gotten around about how he and his brothers had saved New York City and videos had popped up all over YouTube describing their heroic efforts. Mikey had not been shy or that humble about it. He’d signed autographs, taken selfies… so when the two of you entered the room, the cheering erupted.

Mikey loved a good party, but he loved showing you off even more. Throughout the night he took every opportunity to introduce you, he kissed you, danced with you, He’d made it very obvious that you two were an item. He was so proud that his girlfriend was so gorgeous and wanted everyone to know.

Sometime during the party, April had dragged Mikey away to introduce him to a couple fans and promising it would be quick. As minutes ticked away though, you wandered to the balcony and stepped out into the crisp air, closing your eyes as a small shiver runs through you. It was quieter out here, most preferring to stay in the warmth of the penthouse. For you though it was a nice break from the noise since Mikey was busy elsewhere.

A moment later you hear the door open and you smile thinking Mikey had come out to bring you back in to the party. As you turned with a smile, it faltered to see that it was not Mikey, but two men dressed up in dark clothes. Not sure, or caring what their costumes were, you give them a small nod of hello then try to step between them to get back inside.

“Where you going, kitten?” One said staying next to his buddy so you couldn’t get through. The look in their eyes up close made your heart start to beat nervously and you cleared your throat to try and speak clearly.

“Inside, back to my boyfriend,” you say giving them a knowing look and trying not to let them see your hands tremble. Everyone knew who your boyfriend was, it was definitely not a secret.

“Come on, sexy kitten, come be with a real man, not like that freak could satisfy you anyway…” They said.

You were already uncomfortable the moment you tried to get past them but after that comment you were angry. “No, thank you.” You said firmly. “Not interested, get out of here before he kicks your asses.”

“I think you might want to reconsider.” The one guy said, caging you in against the wall. “What’s he gonna do? He don’t scare us.”

You attempt to push his chest to escape but find the other guy has blocked you. “Not so fast, kitten, give us a kiss before you go!”

“No!” you say firmly, and your training with Mikey kicks in. You suddenly strike upwards with the heel of your hand and attempt to kick him in the groin. Both hits actually made contact and he yelped in pain. “You little bitch!”

His friend rounded on you to retaliate and you go on the defensive, wincing slightly because you really don’t want to be hit. As anticipated, they rounded up on you and you keep your defenses up. There’s small shaking in your hands which the men grinned seeing. Hating that, you take a breath as they reach back ready to swing their arm towards your face.

The hit never lands as the man is suddenly is ripped away from you and a soft growl is heard. “These guys bothering you, baby?” Mikey sounded different, like he was trying to restrain himself from ripping them apart.

You nodded, crossing your arms. “Yeah… seems they forgot who I belong to.”

“Thought so. They were just leaving.” Mikey grinned. The words are said cheerfully though there’s an edge to them. In a moment he’d grabbed both of the guys by their shoulders and was practically dragging them to the exit.

He knew April wouldn’t mind if he acted as a bouncer for a couple of creeps and throws them through the door into the hallway. “Thank you! Don’t come again, assholes!”

He shut the door, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself. Then he went to make sure you’re okay.

You haven’t moved, still trying to calm your racing heart and hoping the evening wasn’t ruined. The feel of strong arms wrapping around startles you but in moments you recognize the feel of Mikey’s arms and lean back into him taking comfort in his touch.

“It’s just me, Babycakes… Are you okay?” he whispered against your neck.

You nodded and reach behind to caress his face. “I’m okay… I’m sorry… those guys…” You felt a little emotional and your breath hitched.

Mikey swiftly has you turned, in his arms and pulled tight against his chest. “No, no, no, no…” he said. “You did nothing wrong, it’s my fault, I’m the one who left you alone. I’m sorry…”

You melted into his embrace and wrapped your arms around his neck. “It isn’t your fault either.” Then kissed him.

Mikey’s arms tightened around you as he angles his mouth, deepening the kiss. Relief coursed through him as he felt your body melt against his. You were safe, you were real, and you were his. His kisses are soft but demanding as if he’s trying to drink you in, taking everything you have to give.

Willingly, you reciprocate, softly whimpering against his lips. A sound of wanting, an invitation for more. You need him now and you don’t want everyone staring as some are currently doing.

Mikey can scent the sweet smell of your arousal instantly, and breaks the kiss. He brings his forehead against yours, a silent question of your desire as you take in each other’s soft breaths.

You get lost for a moment in the bright, baby-blue hues of his eyes and your grip on his arm tightened as you whisper. “Let’s get out of here.”

Your adorable turtle boyfriend in a black, plastic Batman mask doesn’t need any more of an invitation than that. He scooped you up gallantly, like the knight in shining armor he is and you’re out of that party before you can even blink.

Mikey easily found somewhere private for the both of you. An alcove, tucked away from prying eyes. As soon as your feet hit the ground his lips are on yours again, hard and demanding. His arms pulling you in so tight and quick, you gasped into the kiss. You placed your hands on his well-formed, muscular plastron and rubbed. He quietly churred from the contact. You felt more than heard the sound rumbling through your hands bringing a smile to your lips. You loved it when he made that sound.

He brought his hand down to your perfectly round bottom and squeezed it before giving it a light swat. Your arousal spiked as you groan softly, showing your desire openly for him. Mikey never wanted you to hide how much you wanted or needed him.

Mikey began pressing hot, open-mouthed kisses on your neck, scenting you more as your need grew. “Damn, girl… you smell incredible, You know, I’ve been holding back all night from doing this… from wanting to touch you, feel you… Almost lost it when I saw those assholes harassing you.” His large hands move, exploring your body, sliding over your soft curves, squeezing and gently kneading the skin still tightly clad in the black leather. He suddenly slides the mask part of the costume over your head because he wants to see your face.

You do the same to him, easily removing the black mask and letting it fall where it may. He smiled, kissing you again deeply, his larger tongue exploring your mouth, pulling yet another moan from you.

His kisses are hot, demanding as he left your lips, sucking your pulse point. “Seeing those creeps bothering you…” he murmered, his thumb on the zipper, the only thing holding your costume together. “They knew… they knew you were mine…” He looked angry then, his focus off of you and away. Rarely he’d accidentally allow himself to go to a dark place regarding your safety.

To snap him out of it, you placed your hands on either side of his face. “I’m yours Mikey… all yours” You whispered. “I knew you would come for me.”

His gaze snapped back to yours and he breathed, coming back to himself. Looking into your eyes is like coming home, like finally getting air after holding his breath. “Mine…” he growled and claimed your mouth once again.

You encouraged him by reciprocating desperately, your thighs rubbing together as you feel much too constricted now with what you’re wearing. You reach and move his hand. The zipper click-click-clicked down a little before he realized what you were doing.

Mikey broke the kiss, smirking like a kid in a candy store. He can’t contain his excitement as he finished what you started, pulling that zipper down. Your breasts sprung free of their confines and were in his hands immediately.

“Ohh…” You breathed, shivering when your breasts found the open air then covered by his large, warm hands. “Oh, yes…”

He squeezed them gently, thumbing the tips in just the right way to make you gasp. “You have the most perfect tits, baby… so sexy…” His hot mouth is on them in an instant, his tongue tracing each pert nipple with ease.

Your body trembled and you felt the flood of heat and wetness go straight to your core. ”M-Mikey… ohh that feels good…”

“Hm…? You like that? I love the way you taste, babe…” He grinned, pushing the suit down one arm at a time and lower still. His hands splayed across your belly, relishing in the feel of your soft skin. “How wet is that sweet pussy of yours?” he husked.

You felt his fingers slide lower and arched toward him with a gasp. One of his thick fingers slid into your heat while is thumb carefully circled your very sensitive nub. You moaned low in your throat. “Fuck…”

Mikey groaned, hearing you swear was the best compliment, and a total turn on. He allowed himself to drop, groaning at the wetness he felt as he’s touching you. “Baby… you need me to fill you up?”

“Yes!” you gasped, grinding against his hand.

His fingers move achingly slow. “Say it, Baby…” he is so hard for you it’s almost painful.

You trembled, a desperate cry upon your lips but you gave him what he wanted to hear. “Mikey! Fuck… fuck me please!”

His costume’s gone, joined by yours in a hot second. You’re braced against the wall then with him poised at your entrance. “Can’t wait to make you scream…”

“Please…” you gasped out, knowing he loved it when you begged.

Mikey held your gaze, arms wrapped tightly around you. “I’ll give it to you, Baby…” he eased himself in, groaning at the way your hot, slick, channel stretched to accommodate him. “Fuck, you feel amazing… you always take me so good…”

You gasped at the initial but welcomed intrusion and arched your back with a soft cry. You felt so full, so incredible, you felt complete with him. “Mikey…” you breathed his name, full of passion and need. You caressed his face in the most gentle affectionate way. An unsaid declaration of the love you feel for him.

He felt it too. This connection you shared was like no other. “I know, Babe…” he said as he began to move within you. “I got you…”

His movements are slow at first, unhurried, he just wanted to feel you, hear the soft sounds of pleasure you made as he deeply thrust into you.

Your legs wrap around him more tightly, encouraging him to speed up his movements a little. “More… Yes… Faster…” You moaned.

Mikey absolutely obliged by moving his hands to your thighs. He thrust his hips harder, angling himself so he could hit that sweet spot deep inside of you. “Love this… love these sounds you’re making for me, Babe… love you so much…”

You can’t even answer him because he kissed you hard after those words. You whimpered against his mouth instead. You felt your body start to tremble and your inner walls clench all around him.

“You’re close…” His voice is ragged in your ear. “Scream for me… cum hard… just for me…” he redoubled his efforts fucking you harder into the wall, staving off his release because yours is that much more important. He needed to feel you first.

You do scream, a choked undulating cry as your body tenses up. You’re flooded with raw, unadulterated pleasure as you cum hard.

Mikey is not far behind. He jerked his hips, thrusting deeply a few more times with a ragged groan before filling you up completely with his release. He tries to make it last as he’s milked for all he’s worth, his essence is dripping down your thighs when he’s finished.

Catching his gaze again you breathed harshly as he huffed his own deep breaths. He reached to cradle your jaw, giving you the softest of smiles. “That was amazing Babe… you’re so awesome, I love you so much.”

Although Mikey wasn’t always the best with words, the true meaning was always here. He easily made you swoon with his heartfelt declaration. “I love you too, you always rock my world…”

“Always will.” He grinned and swiftly pulled out, forgetting about the gush of fluid that always followed when he did that. “Shit, um, oops? Actually, can’t be sorry, that’s always so, damn, hot.”

It was impossible for you not to laugh even more. “Yeah… I don’t think we’re going back to the party, Mikey…”

“Wasn’t planning on it. Still got our Monster Marathon to do, remember?” He looked so pleased and so excited, it was the cutest thing in the world.

“Right.” You managed to pull the suit back on over the mess and zip it up. “Take me home, Bat-Turtle.”

Mikey has his costume grabbed and you in his arms a second later. “With pleasure, my fine, feline.” He grinned, kissing you once more before leaping off into the night.

Most memorable Halloween you’ve ever had, it is quickly becoming your favourite holiday.

The End.

UPD8 on the HOMESTUCK WEDDING: we did it man. we made it hapen.

Details and pictures under the cut!

Everyone had a fucking BLAST! I didn't think it was possible to throw a party that would provide Fun Times for all our loved ones, from all their varied walks of life, but we DID, and it ROCKED! I rode that high for weeks. I felt like I had every positive party moodlet from the Sims active at once.

We rented out a science museum for the event, which was fucking RAD, since we got to have our ceremony in front of an actual dinosaur skeleton, which most wedding venues don't provide:

(these images are intentionally small and crappy. Both because smaller files load more quickly, and because no, I don't need to post high-res photos of all my friends faces online)

Despite being known On Here as The Homestuck Wedding, most guests who attended would probably refer to it as The Klingon Wedding. My one and only wedding wish was to marry my partner in a traditional Klingon ceremony, and my perfect, wonderful, amazing wife was willing to indulge me in this.

The role of officiant, aka Master of Screams, traditionally performed by the mother of the groom or the matron of the groom's house, went to our dear friend D who knocked it out of the park.

On the one hand, it's very silly to reenact the Klingon creation myth at the altar with your spouse, whacking each other with pool noodles (because the museum didn't let us bring in real batleths). On the other hand, I genuinely, truly love the Klingon wedding ritual. It emphasizes that marriage isn't only about love, it's about commitment and allegiance. It's about vowing to be on one anothers' team, to have each others' backs when times are hard, for as long as you both shall live. The combat's just a fun bonus.

When we said our vows and kissed, our officiant announced that we were married, and invited our friends and family to attack us with their pool noodles as the DJ started playing the song for our first dance. The battle was glorious.

And my dad gave a speech that made everyone cry, and then my wife's sister gave a speech that made everyone laugh, and my new mother-in-law hugged us both and told us she loved us, and there was dancing and great food and also a ton of cool exhibits on North Carolina wildlife and prehistory (I mean, those are always there, but they are still very cool), and it was a great wedding.

Also, my florist is a god. 12+ unique centerpieces, all based on characters she doesn't know from a comic she hasn't read, all with different flowers and shapes and containers and-- dude just look at them, okay? They're amazing. I can't believe how awesome they came out. (this isn't quite all of them, unfortunately-- I thought I got pics of them all but I could only find these nine. Can you tell which ones were based on which characters?)

It was so much fun, and then we got to go on our honeymoon in Amsterdam and THAT was so much fun, and now I get to be married to WIFE!! for the rest of our lives! and THAT is going to be so much fun!!!

My sincerest wish for everyone reading this is that you, too, get to have a party some day that is filled with all your favorite people and all your favorite activities, whether it's a wedding or not, and that it goes so well you can't believe how much fun you're having.

p.s. the flower arrangements are, in order: Kanaya, Gamzee, Sollux, Tavros, Eridan, Terezi, Equius, Vriska, Feferi.

Every now and then I go gee I wish they'd make another LET IT DIE game and then I fucking remember that OH YEAH-

-this fucking thing that came out, I played the beta and everything!

It was one of the fucking hundreds of battle royal "live services" games between 2022-2023 that came out and were fucking killed months after release because they weren't instantly successes

this game reeks of the directors really didn't want to make this but sony leaned on them hard stink

Its such a bizarre decision to do this with the series, LET IT DIE has this awesome punk heavy metal black humor style to it:

but then for DEATHVERSE they (Sony) wanted the L.I.D team to make a battle royal to compete with Fortnight(duh) so instead of the awesome dark flavor, they made it look like some kinda steam punk Rocketeer future world????

Look and how bright and clean and friendly this looks, would you have believed this was supposed to be set in the same game series if I ain't told you at the start?

But the biggest failure of the whole thing is the absolutely baffling decision to replace the beloved mascot of the series, Uncle Death, whom everyone fucking loves-

.... with this floating ball that speaks in a text-to-speech robot voice:

Its not even about not being able to get the Japanese/English VAs back, its like the creators were too ashamed to have Uncle Death in this shit show

did I mention I played the beta? I played that and this while it was briefly out and it controlled like SHIT. LID had tight snappy controls and this played like I was trying to steer a fucking cruise ship

I played this thing, I gave it money, because I wanted it to succeed so I could get a real LID sequel

After half a year they said fuck it because no one was playing, claimed they were taking it down to "rework it" and then killed it. Now they've announced that they're building a new game from the ground up:

this is the only concept art they've shown, still too bright for my taste but it is just an early concept.

Honestly if it has my silly skeleton man back I'll be happy with whatever

[dancingisdangerouss]

Not to ask anything, but you're fucking awesome. Keep up with the good works and take good care pf yourself!

-The Skeleton Fucker.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It’s been a rough week, but today is a little bit better, so I’m once again cautiously optimistic 💚💚 Thank you and ily! 💞

For Audio Drama Ask Game: 1, 5 and 12?

Okay so

1. First audiodrama you've ever listened to?

Depends on your definition I guess!

Excuse me one moment while I indulge in memories of my personal Hörspiel CD era. (Those who know me know exactly which CDs because I never shut up about them. And then I also liked radio stuff later I guess it really depends)

Like really I have been known to hold very long PowerPoint slideshows on this.

Also the Magnus Archives.

5. Audio (drama) specific trope you like.

Eyes. WEVE GOT EYES FOR DAYS FELLAS. Also that in horror podcasts there is (apart from a few usual suspects) none of the stuff that makes horror movies unbearable for me. Turns out just because I'm an absolute horror movie wimp doesn't mean I don't still have a taste for the morbid and weird and scary as fuck.

And this just. Works.

12. OHHHH THIS SURE IS A SPICY ONE

What public domain work would you adapt if you could

OH MY WORD I've never considered this but like. How awesome could a Freischütz audiodrama be. Or just a Gespensterbuch themed anthology.

The most famous story in that collection only exists as a folk tale, opera and musical (the latter with music by Tom Waits, I've seen it just this year and it's SO COOL, it's called the Black Rider and like. So good. Mhm.)

Also like. There's a forest. There's doomed love. And it's originally from a book of stories literally called "the ghost book" (Gespensterbuch)

Although in that same book there is also the story about the guy who played his instrument and a graveyard at night and suddenly had a very undead crowd of skeletons dancing the jig. Iirc.

That rabbit hole goes deep you guys. Anyways. If ya wanna read these and judge their anthologyworthiness there's an English version on Wikisource for both these stories which I shall link to promptly .

I'd love to hear those fully fleshed out especially Totentanz like can you imagine the sound design for a whole crowd of skeletons going all

Y'know?

Rating Thrawn Characters by How Often They Say 'Fuck':

Thrawn: 1/10. The only F-Bomb he ever dropped was when he got exiled.

Ar'alani: 0/10. Uses minor swears frequently, but never says fuck.

Wutroow: 8/10. Has a mouth like a sailor.

Lakinda: 100000000/10. If there was some kind of Spotify Wrapped thing where you could see the word you said the most, 'fuck' would be in her top 5.

Samakro: 5/10. Rarely uses the f-bomb, but when he does, he means it.

Eli Vanto: 2/10. He probably swears a lot in his head, but rarely ever out loud.

Pryce: 10/10. Says 'fuck' with a proper British accent.

Faro: 6/10. On duty? No. Off duty? Absolutely yes.

Ronan: -500/10. Probably believes it's illegal to swear on TV.

I really, really hate Christmas. Call me a Grinch, call me a Scrooge, I don’t care. I don’t want to celebrate it, I don’t want my family to drag me to church, I don’t want Mariah Carey screaming in my ears every five seconds, and I don’t want to have to waste hundreds of dollars buying crap that my family will end up thanking my mom for anyway. 

Give me back my spooky scary Halloween skeletons any day.

Rating Thrawn Characters by how much they would like Taylor Swift:

Thrawn: 5/10. He doesn’t get the hype. Eli Vanto: 10/10. Loves Taylor, loves her music, loves her personality. Ezra Bridger: 100000000/10. Annoys Thrawn to death while the Purgil are pulling them through space with terrible Taylor karaoke. Karyn Faro: 100/10. She would be the one to spend the Empire’s entire budget on Taylor Tickets. Vader: 0/10. He’s too grumpy to be a Swiftie. Ronan: -100/10. He hates Taylor Swift, and will be very vocal about that opinion. Palpatine: 3/10. He despises Taylor Swift, but he does like her “villain songs”. Ar’alani: 6/10. Thinks Taylor’s overrated, but she vibes.  Samakro: Sober? 1/10. Drunk? 9/10. Thurfian: -5/10. Hates Taylor Swift, but doesn’t say anything because he doesn’t want to lose any of his political allies that are Swiftie fangirls. Zistalmu: 1/10. Despises everything except “Ready For It..?” Wutroow: 10/10. Her and Karyn would totally dance to “Style” and “Shake It Off” together. Thrass: 7/10. He enjoys Taylor’s music, but he’s not a full-on Swiftie. Ziinda: 4/10. She doesn’t really like Taylor, but understands the appeal. Thalias: 6/10. Liked her at first, but Che’ri blasted Midnights too much when it came out and now she gets annoyed because she’s sick of it. Che’ri:  ∞/10. The only one who likes Taylor more than Ezra.

Y'all have it all wrong, Thrawn's not gay. He just likes to say men's bodies are like pieces of art. It's purely platonic. Especially when he says it about me.

My #1 post of 2022

The one thing I have to say about the Thrawn fandom is that it's definitely the healthiest fandom I've ever been in. There's a few trolls, but it's nothing like the others I've been involved with.

There's also a remotely low amount of shipping wars. Like you ship Thrawn with Ar'alani? Cool! You're a Thranto freak? Awesome, me too! You ship Ar'alani with Wutroow? Pass the link!

NIECE AND WIFE

Natasha x Stark!Fem!Reader, Niece!Morgan x Aunt!Reader

Summary: While Tony and Pepper argue, you and Natasha take Morgan for a bit.

Warnings: A bit of angst, AU

Notes: Y/N is Tony Stark's little sister; Tony and Natasha are alive; Y/N is the half CEO of Stark Industries with Pepper

----------------------------------------------

Being the half CEO of Stark Industries, while being really great in most areas, came with a big cost: How tiring it was. Nearly every day, you had to deal with expansion ideas, bureaucrats, other CEOs, and when it's not that, you have to tinker with your and Tony's suits...it's a lot.

Which is why today, when you arrived back at the house you and your wife Natasha shared, you almost immediately dropped onto the couch that Nat was laying on, and snuggled into her chest as she gently stroked your hair.

"Agh...fuck work!" Natasha giggled as you yelled those words out. "I mean, if it's not those goddamn business expansions, it's Whiny Willie and Bossy Billy, and if it's not them, it's fucking bureaucrats, or my suit needs upgrading, or Tony's- I ju- Wh- B- AAGH!"

Suddenly, the phone rang, and you grumpily grabbed it and passive aggressively said, "What do you want?" But, to your suprise, a small, sad voice answered.

"A-Auntie Y/N, mama and papa are f-fighting..." muttered out a tearful Morgan as Pepper and Tony's screams could be heard, immediately changing your mood. "Shi- Shoot, Morgan, don't worry, OK? Auntie Nat's gonna pick you up, OK?" Morgan hummed in response, and you ended the call to see Nat already heading for the door, saying, "I'll be back A.S.A.P," before she took off in the car.

1 hour later...

You saw the car pull into the driveway, and immediately rushed out to it to pick up your niece and hug her as tightly as you could. "Are you OK, Morgan?" She nodded in response, and Natasha directed you both back inside the house, where you gently set Morgan down onto the couch.

"Alright, Morgan, what do you wanna do," asked Natasha, to which Morgan thought, and answered, "Can we play that Minecraft?" You quickly answered, "Awesome. Controllers to the PS5 are right there," pointing to the coffee table, "You two get started while I prepare some refreshments. Hey, honey, how dark you want your coffee?"

"Uh, about as dark as my soul, please." You turned back to her, smiling while your cheeks turned red, and said, "I'm making you coffee, not a glass of milk." Natasha smiled back at the pickup line you often shared, and said, "Then I'll take a latte, please." "Comin' right up," you exclaimed as you got to work.

About half an hour later, you brought over a tray containing a latte for Natasha, a bottle of juice for Morgan, and little treats like Bacon Rashers, Oreos, Monster Munch, etc. You set the tray down, then grabbed a controller and joined the game.

"Thanks, Y/N. You can grab some stuff from the chest while me and Morgan head out to get iron." You nodded to Nat, and did as she said. And soon, the game dissolved into chaos. Morgan ended up trapped in a mineshaft, Natasha had a bad experience with a Creeper, and you had to fight off an Enderman and a Skeleton at once.

"Hehehe! Auntie Y/N's in trouble," exclaimed Morgan, before you defensively stated, "Hey, I am merely tactically dropping my enemies' guard. It's a classic war tactic." Truthfully, you were in deep shit, but your Stark pride wouldn't admit that. Natasha just chuckled at your remark, and took revenge on the Creeper that got her by killing 5 more.

After about 2 hours of Minecraft, you three ended up watching The Incredibles. Morgan loved it, and you were always intrigued by the blobs that were shown in the Kronos Unveiled scene. Unfortunately, you had also seen some of the fanart associated to that scene, but that didn't concern you when Morgan fell asleep alongside Natasha.

"Hmm...goodnight, you two," you whispered before picking them both up and carrying them to your bedroom and laying them down there, before heading into the kitchen to prepare dinner for when they woke up.

THE END.

Day 22 Bleach (anime) Challenge: Favorite Release Form

I have three favorites. First is Baraggan Louisenbairn's release form. It's just fucking cool as hell looking. He's literally a skeleton king. Second is Ulquiorra Cifer's release form. It's just awesome looking. He looks demonic but also like himself at the same time. Third is Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez's release form. He's a panther like form and he looks so cool in that form. Also not sure if it counts but honorable mention is Ichigo's Vasto Lordes mode.

[aerosolsprite]

first ever ship: oh god no my roots are EMBARRASSING. all i will say one of them was a canon ship from tmnt 2012.

last song: well i was listening to music in my sleep, so probably the one that played last in my dreams? in that case, i/me/myself by will wood.

last movie: i can’t remember, but probably pirates of the caribbean (curse of the black pearl; my mom refuses to own any others. she doesn’t like them.) i also watched a fragment of deadpool and wolverine!

currently reading: the sun and the star! my awesome friend from school lent it to me yesterday and i am in LOVE (figure of speech; referring to the book. to clarify.)

Restless Rewatch: The Untamed, Episode 34

(Masterpost) (Pinboard)  

Warning! Spoilers for All 50 Episodes!

Dog Days

We jump right into some comic relief, in which Wei Wuxian runs away from Fairy, Jin Ling's dog, and Lan Wangji protects him. Wei Wuxian's terror of dogs comes from trauma, like so many features of his personality, but the show takes this opportunity to play it for laughs, with broad comedic acting from both of our leads. This is tonally jarring for me, because I know fuck-all about the very long and deep literary traditions that create the framework of comedy in Chinese drama.  I’m confident that it’s not jarring for its intended audience.

In any case, I love that CQL and all versions of MDZS constantly leaven the heavy stuff with moments of ridiculousness and whimsey. The mix goes both ways; under the absurdity is often something serious. In this moment, we see that when Wei Wuxian is viscerally afraid, he calls for Lan Wangji to save him, and Lan Wangji immediately does.

Afterwards Wei Wuxian briefly looks at Lan Wangji like this:

He is SO gone for Lan Wangji.

Then they go to talk to the art seller, to try to get some information about weird things happening in town. He claims to know everything, and tells Wei Wuxian about the man eating bunker on the ridge.

The seller does not, alas, know all that much, and Wei Wuxian roasts him for being useless while Lan Wangji half-smirks in the background.

He is so gone for Wei Wuxian.

(more after the cut!)

Wei Wuxian learns about the decline of the Nie clan under its current leader, Nie Huaisang, who has been acting like a dumbass as part of his “not getting murdered” campaign. 

Underneath the Bunker

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian talk about the new state of things while they walk through the woods to the man-eating crypt. I love the way they walk together here; Lan Wangji perfectly vertical and steady, all Yang in his white robes; Wei Wuxian swaying, sinuous, all Yin in his black ones.

Fairy barks in the distance and Wei Wuxian freaks out, grabbing Lan Wangji, but he doesn't want to answer when Lan Wangji asks him why.  Lan Wangji doesn't press for an answer, but Wei Wuxian immediately relents and gives him one anyway, and explains about being homeless and fighting with dogs for food when he was a kid. 

From there he jumps to thinking about Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng and how they hate him, and kind of collapses into being bummed out. Lan Wangji doesn't say anything, but listens and lets Wei Wuxian have a moment to get back into a better headspace.

This is a new dynamic for them; normally Wei Wuxian doesn't let his guard down enough to talk about his difficulties, and previously Lan Wangji didn't miss an opportunity to try to tell Wei Wuxian what to do.

More barking and grabby hands ensue, with Wei Wuxian clinging to Lan Wangji an unreasonable amount, and Lan Wangji rolling with it because being grabbed by Wei Wuxian is his favorite thing, even better than catching Wei Ying when he faints. 

At least, it's his favorite thing right now because they haven't progressed to blow jobs yet.

Blow jobs, you say...

They find the crypt, which is full of resentful energy and bad skeleton props. 

Wei Wuxian, in his new life, has retained his ability to hear resentful spirits yelling in his head. That's awesome for him and for Lan Wangji, who super missed getting to be paralyzed with fear for his beloved.

Wei Wuxian pulls out his compass of evil, which Lan Wangji apparently kept and has given back to him. As if you need a compass to find evil in this joint.

Surprise! It's in the room with all the coffins! (Wu Xie, poking his head in from Daomu Biji: Let's open them, what could go wrong?)

They open up the coffins and find blades in all of them, so Lan Wangji goes to play Inquiry to see what's up. We learn more about inquiry as Lan Wangji tries to get an answer from whatever spirit is in the place. 

He also takes an opportunity to be amusingly literal with Wei Wuxian, in a possible callback to that time when Wei Wuxian introduced him to Suibian. He earns praise and some obvious elevator eyes as a reward for his joke. 

Unlike that time in the ice cave, Lan Wangji doesn’t mind a bit when Wei Wuxian hops up to sit next to the guqin while he plays it.

And for this, he is rewarded with Wei Wuxian’s undivided attention. See, Lan Wangji? Letting neuroatypical kids sit the way they want enhances their learning. 

We discover that Lan Wangji is, unsurprisingly, a mensch when it comes to inquiry; he says the spirit can't lie because “I am here.” 

They figure out that the spirit is Jin Ling who is...not dead? Inquiry apparently works on living beings as well? Eh, whatever.

For The Love Of God, Montresor

They follow the instructions from Inquiry to find Jin Ling and dig him out of the wall.  

Camera Operator: What did I ever do to you?

This wall doesn't have any mortar in it, which is good since it needs to be easy for people to bury themselves in it. After Jin Ling got sucked into the wall, did he put the stones back? 

Anyway, 1500 years ago, folks in China developed a strong mortar by mixing slaked limestone with sticky rice soup. The Nie clan can't be bothered with that, though.

Apparently being buried and deprived of oxygen for a super long time doesn't kill you if you're a cultivator, given that Jin Ling has been in this wall for quite a while. 

Here we get another look at older, warmer Lan Wangji, who is a natural caretaker, kind to young people, and doesn't object to touching people, at least not if they need help or are in some way related to Wei Wuxian. 

He pulls Jin Ling into his lap immediately and starts feeding him spiritual energy while Wei Wuxian casually grabs Bichen and uses its hilt to dig out more of the wall. If this seems like a disrespectful way to treat Bichen, never, ever read the extra chapters of the novel.  Lan Wangji doesn’t blink at Wei Wuxian borrowing his sword. 

While Wei Wuxian takes a minute to try to understand what he's feeling in the weird energies of the place, Jin Ling hops up and tries to stick himself back into the wall. Persistent little guy. They haul Jin Ling out of there and see that Nie Huaisang a mysterious someone is lurking outside.

Lan Wangji is super reluctant to leave Wei Wuxian's side, hesitating until Wei Wuxian emphatically says he will meet him in town. 

Then he goes to chase Nie Huaisang the mysterious intruder, who easily escapes from world’s greatest cultivator Hanguang-Jun, which is...not plausible.

Cursed Reunion

Back at the Inn, Jin Ling wakes up while Wei Wuxian is checking his chest for signs of a curse, and flips out because Mo Xuanyu is taking off his clothes and (unbeknownst to Wei Wuxian) has a reputation as a sex pest. 

Jin Ling goes running off while Wei Wuxian is distracted by a flashback of Jiang Yanli. Wei Wuxian follows him, only to run into Fairy and Jiang Cheng. This time, Lan Wangji isn't there to help out, because he's busy filming Day Day Up gazing at the moon and thinking about Wei Wuxian.  

Jiang Cheng makes Wei Wuxian remove his mask, and the reunion gets rolling. The music cue for this is the extra sad, falling-off-cliffs music.

Jiang Cheng decides to torment Wei Wuxian with Fairy while they yell at each other, and this time Wei Wuxian’s fear is not played for laughs. 

This Wei Wuxian to have a flashback to a time he was chased by an adorable friendly dog a scary dog, and rescued by Jiang Yanli. He calls out "Shijie" and Jiang Cheng gets even more pissed off. 

He starts to talk a little smack about Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian instantly claps back, and it just escalates form there.

Jiang Cheng has plenty of valid reasons to be angry; Wei Wuxian's loss of control did lead to Jin Zixuan's death and to a lot of the shitshow at Nightless City. It doesn't matter that there was a second flute; if I'm in charge of the firewall and I don't actually have a firewall, it's my fault if hackers take over my company servers and/or fierce corpses.  

But he is apparently mad that Wei Wuxian didn't come to Lotus Pier immediately upon returning from death. 

You know, the death that Jiang Cheng kind of directly caused. Not to be confused with the death Jiang Cheng has been dishing out to random demonic cultivators since then, and encouraging Jin Ling to dish out. He's got a hell of a nerve to expect Wei Wuxian to voluntarily come anywhere near him.

On the flip side, when Jiang Cheng, reasonably, wants to know where Wen Ning is, Wei Wuxian stupidly wonders why Jiang Cheng still hates Wen Ning. Wei Wuxian asks what more he wants from them, both of them having died already. Like, if you do a clean reboot, everything should be good, right?

But Jiang Cheng wanted to kill Wen Ning even before the whole spine-crushing incident, so there's no reason he should have changed his plan in the intervening years. Wei Wuxian tries to get him to think about why Wen Ning isn't dead, but Jiang Cheng is too angry.

Jin Ling shows up to tell him he thinks he knows where Wen Ning is, which is just bullshit to lure Jiang Cheng. He tells him that he didn't say anything earlier because Jiang Cheng was being too much of a bitch. Jiang Cheng bristles and Wei Wuxian gives Jin Ling the sweetest, most loving look. 

He’s already starting to adore Jin Ling, with all his flaws, in the same way he adored a younger Jiang Cheng with all of *his* flaws.

Jiang Cheng ties Wei Wuxian up with Zidian and cleverly puts his rebellious teenager in charge of watching his silver-tongued brother.

Jin Ling, comfortable with command, at least where Jiang disciples are concerned, tells all the guards to fuck off.  He calls Zidian to his hand, which speaks to the closeness of his relationship with his Jiujiu. Jiang Cheng certainly couldn't wield Zidian while his Mom was still around. Then Jin Ling takes Wei Wuxian out of town again to let him go.

Let’s Dip

I like their synchronized sneaking; it makes me want to see them have more adventures together.

Out in the woods, Wei Wuxian, who once named a sword "Whatever," roasts Jin Ling for his dog-naming methods. They talk about Jiang Cheng's obsession with catching Wei Wuxian, which makes him think everyone is Wei Wuxian. Which in turn makes Jin Ling think that the dude in front of him is not actually Wei Wuxian. 

Then Wei Wuxian talks to Jin Ling about the importance of learning to say thank you and sorry.

He follows this up by saying sorry for his comments at Dafan mountain. Jin Ling reacts like nobody has ever sincerely apologized to him in his life, which is very possible, considering that Jiang Cheng is not exactly the apologizing type, and everything Jin Guangyao says is insincere. 

Jin Ling talks about his ambitions and Wei Wuxian nods approvingly, which is sweet, but he follows it up by knocking Jin Ling out so he can take care of the curse on his leg. This family, man. So rough. Wei Wuxian takes care of the curse, predictably, by transferring it to his own body. I'm sure Lan Wangji won't be upset about that.

Soundtrack: Underneath the Bunker by R.E.M

Writing Prompt: Jiang Cheng trying to apologize for anything, to anyone, and making an utter hash of it.

SLEEP OR LOOK AT THE CEILING

THE OPTIONS IN THE LIFE OF A HIGH ACHIEVER

The Monkey House has come to an end and it's been two weeks since the last time I had to deal with that shit. Life feels much better and the possibilities are broader now. That job was clearly messing up with my mind and energy level and it's taking some time to detox from that period of my life. Or is it that I am reverting back to my natural state of being of pretty much doing nothing and being ok with it?

In the last two weeks I have finished the ESL course and submitted the final project. It was not necessary for me to do it because my score up to that point was above 70% but found to be a good activity to complete and very helpful in the long term. It was about creating a Needs Analysis and running an assessment on students to place them in the correct level.

The final project was completed by Thursday and Friday was when it hit me: What what fuck am I supposed to do now? What are the goals in my life and how to get there. Panic ensued and between Thursday, Friday and Saturday came up with the skeleton of what to do moving forward --just the following week.

It was not a detailed plan with strict goals but it was a very good idea to spend certain amount of time working on specific projects and then see the results. There are of course some grey overarching goals or dreams that are there for sometime in the future, but not crystal clear goals.

The first week while completing the ESL final project there was a big snow on Wednesday and this was the perfect excuse to tell my roommates that I was working from home because of the snow. But week #2 had no snow and Mr. Diz had no plan on what to do or how to justify the fact that he was now becoming another Home Boy.

On Wednesday found a TM meeting and decided to go right after going to the gym in the morning and eating something around the Central Market. In the afternoon just drove around town with no aim and no plan but suddenly the thought of having an empanada became a good plan to follow. $20 dollars worth of coffee and empanadas and an early return home was everything there was to say about that day.

The following two days were spent at the house bitching about Google-Boy playing Alexa all day and working out of the dining area. Speaking of, this guy truly never leaves the house. He works from home, cooks at home and does everything at home. He used to go to the gym but not anymore, mainly because in his own words it's a good 10 minute drive and he also has to pay $10 a month for it. How about the gym right down the street from home that has climbing and according to him is awesome! --but again there is money to pay and he doesn't do paying for stuff. So yeah, another homeboy.

I have noticed myself being fucking pist at everybody in the home, specially Google -Boy for being all fucking day at home. And for me it is very important to leave the house and do other things, see other places, or do the same writing in this blog and go around the same topics over and over again, but from a different working area and not the same bedroom.

The weekend was uneventful, staring on Saturday that I was supposed to work and doing absolutely nothing on Sunday.

The one thing I realized is that because of the lack of planning, I have done nothing this week. Which brings me to the great conclusion: plan the weeks ahead including the trip to COL and then will be busy and going at it instead of asking myself "what should I do today: sleep or lie down and look at the ceiling?".
