Hard pill to swallow.

*pics above are from pinterest and are used for aesthetics only.

Pairing: Joel Miller x f!reader

Word count: 2.4k (18+) MINORS DNI!

Summary: Joel helps you fix your problem with swallowing pills.

Notes/Warnings: Smut, Fluff, Soft!Joel vibes, lowkey daddy Joel vibes too, Joel being a teasing, filthy mouthed menace because I said so, mentions of pills (vitamins and hayfever), mentions of gagging/gag reflex, Joel lifts reader, but Joel is huge and hella strong so he can lift anyone, cumplay, oral (m receiving), finger sucking, praise/ nicknames, swearing, no y/n.

A/N: Disclosure, this is fully self indulgent and based on my struggle with swallowing pills and me wanting Joel Miller's dick in my mouth all waking hours.  Was meant to post this before Valentines, but time got the best of me. But I suppose you can consider this my Valentines present from me to you, even though it's not related to valentines at all. I swear this is the second time that writing about my struggles in a fic with Joel, it’s pretty much solved them. He is truly that man. Quickly edited, as always, so sorry if there are any mistakes. Anyways, enough babbling, I hope y'all enjoy, and any interactions with posts are very much appreciated, and I love yall so much. Have a good day bebes. 🫶❤️

*********

You were embarrassed, to say the least, and annoyed and frustrated. For all of your life, you could never do that one thing that was a simple skill for most people, a simple and usually essential at that. You couldn't swallow pills for the life of you. Many frustrated mornings, well into your early adult years, were spent at the breakfast table with your parents, growing more and more impatient and irritated at your ‘talent’ for not being able to swallow pills no matter how hard you tried. And It's not like you didn't want to swallow pills. No, not at all. 

In fact you wish you could, it would have made your life a hell of lot easier. You would take swallowing pills over having to grind up the assorted pills for hayfever and vitamins into your drink and being forced to intigest the horrible tasting yet beneficial substances, the ones that made your eyes water and your stomach gurgle with just how bad they tasted. 

And trust me you had tried everything, sticking the pill right down your throat, damn near breaking your neck with the force you tilted your head back (to catch your gag reflex “off guard”) nearly watering boarding yourself a couple times, thinking the more water you swallow the easier right? You felt like the oblong white tablets were just ridiculing you at this point. 

You had achieved so much in your life yet you were brought down by your inability to swallow a tiny little thing for your benefit. You had not managed to find a shortage of adults and family members alike telling you, “it's all in your head” and suggesting unwarranted advice. Advice you ended up trying over and over again, knowing it wouldn't work. “It's just like swallowing food” they would say. But you knew damn right it wasn't. I mean you couldn't even swallow gum, so how were you supposed to swallow this?!

Because of all these judgemental looks and passive aggressive comments when it came up in conversation that you couldn't swallow pills, you tended to avoid the topic of conversation completely. It wasn't till a handsome man named Joel Miller came into your life, did you finally manage feel comfortable and unjudged about your inability. 

It had been a while that the two of you had been dating, nearly a year and you had never felt happier. Recently you had moved into his place and had just unfinished packing. It was a peaceful morning in Joel’s and now your own house, the morning sun shining down, warming up the frosted green grass as the birds chirps and, the smell of fresh brewed coffee filled your nostrils. The two of you sat opposite each other, drinking in the peaceful morning. This movie-like paradise was soon brought down in mood as you remembered it was time to take your daily vitamins and tablets. 

You sighed, a frown growing on your face as you anticipated yet another painful morning attempting to swallow some tablets. Joel's face mimics yours when he looks over at you from across the breakfast table. 

“What’s wrong baby?” He asked, concerned.

You sigh before explaining yourself.

“I just..I just suck at swallowing pills and I almost always end up having to crush them into a drink or whatever I'm eating and then it's disgusting. I know I'm an adult, I should be able to swallow them by now but I just can’t.” 

You try to blink away the tears from frustration as you talk, not wanting Joel to see you get so upset over something so little and stupid.

He listens with a soft frown on his face and you half expect him to scoff at you and belittle you for not being able to do something so easy. Then he locks eyes with you and sees your watery eyes and instantly his face softens.

“Aww baby, come here.” He holds out his arms and you quickly get up walking round the table to straddle his lap, burying your face into his shoulder, seeking his warming embrace to comfort you. You look up at him, when you feel the tears aren't going to spill out.

“You're not making fun of me or think that I'm being a baby?” 

He cups your face, forcing you to keep his warm gaze. “Now what would make you think that I thought that darling?” He questions.

You feel your throat constricting as you try to explain yourself, cheeks growing hot with embarrassment.

“I don't know…I just thought maybe before… you were frowning cause you don’t believe me or something.” You softly respond, embarrassed over the state you're in all over some silly little pills.

“Sweetheart of course I believe ya. I was frowning cause I hate to see my girl upset and struggling, and I was trying to think of some way to help ya.”

You sigh with relief, before resting your head back on Joel's shoulder, you sit there holding each other for a while before you're interrupted by the soft rocking back and forth of Joel's chest as he tries to quietly chuckle underneath you. 

“What’s so funny.” You ask, feeling a little irritated.

“Oh, nothing.” He responds, still with a wide grin.

“No, tell me.” You say, pouting.

He clears his throat and before he speaks in a dark tone, close to your ear sending shivers all throughout your body.

“Just thought of how good of a girl you are when you suck my dick, and how you don’t seem to have a problem swallowing my cum, do ya honey?”

Your eyes widen with the sudden lewd topic of conversation, your cheeks heat up and you lightly slap his chest.

“Joel!” you warn him, but you can't help but let the corners of your mouth lift up a little.

“That's different though.” You say quietly after a beat.

“Oh yeah? Why's that?” His eyes pierced through you, waiting for your answer.

You feel your cunt fluttering at his question, your panties dampening.

“Cause…cause I actually want to swallow your cum.” You softly admit.

He breathes in shakily as a growl-like sound softly rips through his chest. His head falls back and he slowly grinds up into your needy clothed cunt. 

“My dirty little cum slut, aren't you baby?” He groans as he cups your face with his hand.

You nod and he puts his thumb on your bottom lip, slowly dragging it downwards. Your tongue shoots out to lick it before your head dips it to take it into your mouth. You start sucking on it, needily. Needing to have some part of Joel in you.

“Needy too, apparently. Just how I like ya.” He murmurs to mostly himself as he pushes his fingers in deeper and pushes down on your tongue.

Your cunt is throbbing now, but the only thing you can think of right now is taking Joel’s fat cock into your mouth. You try and tell Joel as his thick fingers are stuffed in your mouth, so it ends up coming out as a garbled mess.

“What was that baby?” Joel teases you.

“W-wanna sl-suck your c-cock d-Joel.” 

“Can’t get enough of this fat dick down your throat can you sweetheart?” Joel growls as he removes his fingers.

You shake your head, your hands trailing over Joel's strong chest and biceps. You suck on the spot on his neck that drives him crazy, his hips start lightly thrusting up into you as a result. You grin devilishly, seeing and feeling Joel become a vulnerable mess, under your control is one of your favourite sights in the world. 

You slowly make your way down Joel's body, feeling and touching on every part of him that you can, except where you and him both want too most. When your knees finally hit the floor, you look up at him with an innocent smile. Although Joel knows your the exact opposite, he can’t help his breath stuttering and his heart racing at the stunning sight below him.

You bite your lip as you look to Joel belt, his prominent bulge just below it, silently asking for permission. He nods, spreading his legs wider. You place your hands on his knees and slowly trace your hand over his legs up to his hips, your eyes switching between looking up at Joel and his bulge that has your mouth watering. 

You unbuckle his belt, slowly, loving to tease him. But taking your time and going slow seems to make you more impatient than Joel himself, so you make quick work of unzipping his jeans and shucking them down his thick thighs, while your mouth waters. You swallow harshly, as you uncover Joel's thick and rock-hard package perfectly framed by his black boxers. 

Reaching below his elastic waistband to pull out his cock, you find yourself transfixed once again by his beautiful cock, tip flush dark red, shaft slightly curling upwards as it heavily bobs, just begging to be sucked. Your tongue darts out to slicken your lips. Your hand carefully grasps his length, Joel softly gasps, before your thumb traces over his slit and the white drop of precum, oozing out of it. 

You grin as you lower your head, placing a few teasing kisses around his head before you raise his cock up high enough that you can lick from between his balls all the way up to his slit. He shudders above you, his hand gently caressing your hair, grounding himself and connecting himself more to you, as if his dick in your mouth isn't enough. 

You let your saliva gather to the front of your mouth before slightly parting your lips to let the warm glob drip onto his flesh. You see his thighs flex from the corner of your eye as your palm encases him, spreading your moisture all over the veiny muscle. Starting out with slow hard strokes, and building it up faster, your hand struggles to meet around his girth. 

Your mouth finally latches onto his tip, tongue swirling around the bulbous head, making Joel groan deeply. You help unleash even more depraved sounds from deep in Joel's chest when your other hand reaches out to massage his hefty balls. All this encompassing stimulation has Joel racing towards the edge, his mouth spewing out dirty words and praises as he comes oh so close to his high.

“Ugh. Fuck yeah. Atta girl.”

“Just like that baby. F-fuck me that feels g-good.” 

“Fuck… I love the feel of your hot, wet mouth on my cock.”

“Going to make my heart go out on me, with how fucking heavenly your making me feel, baby.”

He clenches the muscles in his body as he tries to starve off his release long as possible, needing to tell you something first.

“Sweetheart, look at me. I-I’m going to need you to hold all my cum in your mouth baby when I finish-h. C-can you do that for me s-sweet girl?” He chokes out.

You nod slightly and moan around him, before returning to bobbing wildly on his pulsing cock. Loving the salty, musky taste of him, your pussy clenches thinking about the even more salty and delicious load soon to be filling your mouth.

You take him as deep he will go, your eyes tearing up as your throat constricts around him. You feel his balls tighten under your hand and you let his cock out ever so slightly so only his tip is encased by your stretched lips.

And before you know it Joel’s coming, a long string of curse words and moans pouring out his mouth as he does so. Your hand continues to stroke him, milking him for all he's worth. Till he is hissing through his teeth, his now spent cock sensitive and raw. 

The urge to swallow his spend is strong, but your need to listen to and please Joel stands stronger. You keep it all in your mouth, cheeks bulging out a little with how full they are.

Joel, still breathing heavily, bends over you so he can inspect your warming checks and watery eyes, you look completely wrecked and he loves it. He hums in delight seeing you patiently sitting beneath him waiting for his next instruction.

He reaches over the table to where you were sitting before leaning down closer to you again. His thumb and forefinger reaches out and takes a hold of your chin, tilting it a bit higher.

“Did so good for me sweet girl, but I need you to do one more thing for me, okay?” He whispers, his warm and inviting eyes making you melt further into the floor.

You nod in response, watching his other hand come down in front of your face, opening up to reveal your pills. He softly demands you to open your mouth, to which you oblige, before carefully placing the few pills into your cum filled mouth.

He tilts up chin so your mouth closes and seals your lips with his thumb, before moving his hand to the side of your jaw, rubbing soft circles over your cheekbone.

“Okay, I'm going to need you to be a good girl and swallow that for me.”

You give the best soft smile you can muster with a mouth full of cum before you begin to swallow Joel’s cum in small amounts, your eyes fluttering close in concentration.

 “That's it…. Good girl. Swallow it all, baby. Don’t wanna waste a drop do ya now?” He encourages you, eyes transfixed to your throat swallowing all of his cum and the pills.

The pills going down so easily you didn't feel them shocks you, as you open your eyes to a smiling, starry-eyed Joel looking down at you softly. A wide smile mimicking his, spreads over your face, before you open your mouth to reveal it, now empty, to Joel.

He reaches down to pick you up from your armpits, placing you on his lap again. You giggle as he places lots of kisses all over your face and nuzzles his nose into yours.

“I’m so proud of you my sweet, darling girl. Did so good.”

“Thank you, Joel.” You coo back, sighing softly with relief and happiness over your achievement.

“Guess we know now how to get you to swallow your pills every morning, don't we baby?” Joel teases you, holding you close to his chest as he kisses your temple.

“Indeed we do.” You reply, giggling, before resting your head on Joel's warm and sturdy chest, basking in the love and warmth of your lover.

No pressure at all. Fill one prompt. Fill all the prompts on every bingo card. Do however many you please.

Can I fill more than one prompt with one piece of art/one fic?

Yes! You can fill one prompt with one piece of art or fic. You can try to fill all nine prompts on the card at once with one piece of art or fic. If you can fill every single prompt from every single bingo card in one fill, that’d be wild but it’s okay by the rules. You can do any number in between.

Are there any prizes for making anything for this event?

Just the satisfaction that you made something cool.

Is it just SamBucky?

Yes please, just SamBucky. There can be side ships, but the main ship should be SamBucky.

How long will this event run?

It will run from June 1st and run until August 31st.

I heard there are badges I can use for each fill?

There are! Here they are:

1) Vacation Bingo Badges

2) Mission Bingo Badges

3) Loving Bingo Badges

RULES AND GUIDELINES

What are the guidelines for the bingo?

I will be borrowing some of this from the MYSU Valentine’s Day Bingo 2022 Guidelines, since they were fantastic.

For Everyone:

1. Remember to @sambuckylibrary in the post as well as #sbsummer2024.

2. Please also tag the prompt you’re filling (for instance, if the square is ���Redwing”, use “#redwing” as one of your tags when posting about it on Tumblr).

3. If you’re uploading to AO3, please:

a ) Say somewhere which prompt you’re filling.

b ) Add it to SamBucky Summer Bingo 2024 (SamBucky_Summer_Bingo_2024).

For Artists:

1. Create at least one piece of new art that can’t have been posted anywhere else before this.

2. All visual art forms are welcome:

a ) Gifsets, at least 3 gifs.

1. You must have at least three fics or podfics on the rec list.

2. Make sure to give brief descriptions of the fics or podfics as well as their rating and wordcount.

For Commenters:

1. Any amount of comment counts, from a heart emoji (“❤️”) to an essay.

2. We would rather this be about what makes you happy and joyful about reading than any scathing critiques.

Things to be mindful of when creating:

For Sam

Avoid framing Sam only as a caretaker or emotional support for Bucky. Be mindful of Sam acting angry or aggressive in an out-of-character way and falling into the angry/sassy Black man trope (check out the MCU source material to help with character traits).

Avoid decentering Sam as a main character and refrain from focusing entirely on Bucky.

In art: avoid whitewashing Sam’s skin and research drawing Black characters.

General disclaimer: Race affects every aspect of his life, including interacting with police/government and the white structures of the world when it comes to performing his duties as Cap and simply being a Black man that lives in the U.S.

For Bucky

Avoid phrasing “flesh/normal/human hand” to refer to the contrast between his prosthetic arm and his right arm. The phrasing is ableist. You can simply refer to his prosthesis when relevant, otherwise use “right/left arm/hand”.

For more information, please check out this document suggested by @ninesdb on how to write Bucky as an amputee. @ninesdb is also open to questions if you have any queries not answered by the google doc.

Specific Tags:

Avoid tags in AO3 like “Sam Wilson is a Gift”, “Sam Wilson is a Saint”, and “Bucky Needs a Hug”.

Have fun and we look forward to your Summer Bingo fics!

I absolutely adore your IF! the aesthetics, the storytelling, the mystery, the fantasy elements.. everything. I've never read an IF where I've had such a hard time choosing someone to romance. usually I only gravitate toward 1-2 ROs but with yours, I want to romance all of them!!! excuse me while I ramble... [spoilers ahead]

Death: everything they do is just so cute. the way they kept glancing at us from afar at the bar, and that scene where they're lying in our bed and tells us how pretty we are... I was kicking my legs and screaming internally

Lilith/Damien: hottie alert!! can't help but be drawn to them even knowing how dangerous and scheming devils can be... my MC be shamelessly flirting with them in front of yaga and peisinoe

Morgan(a): so charming and swoon-worthy. that dinner date was so romantic! it doesn't help my heart that the Morgan character art reminds me of howl from howl's moving castle... and the angst potential with them being a mortal... I can't wait to see where this goes

Peisinoe: the scenes of their past were heart-wrenching, I just want them to be happy :'( I also love how you've written out the lyrics to their performances, I really feel the melancholic vibes

Hastur: I'm a sucker for the stoic duty-bound types! I can't wait to break down his walls... hehehehe

He Without Name: I can't wait to find out more about him and unravel his mysterious past! really curious as to whether he will take on a more solid form and be able to interact better at the end..? having read up to the memoriam update, I do have a theory about him being related to adamot somehow - I could be totally off, but he said his purpose was to keep balance? whereas tehomot is for entropy/chaos. and maybe he is "the child" that tehomot was referring to in that council of nine scene. also I can't get out of my head how for Valentine's Day, he would just leave a flower under our pillow <3 simple, but cute and impactful

thank you for sharing such a wonderful story. I'm so excited for more updates!

Thank you for the positive review! It warmed my heart ❤️ Still recovering from the flu here so I hope it doesn't raise my temperature again jkjk

And here are my notes about your notes lol:

Drunk Death is the best Death!!! I can’t wait to write the date scenes for them actually

For Lilith/Damian, scheming will play an integral (and infernal part) of their story. They will be a focus for the update following this one along with Yaga, and I'm excited to start defining their characters!

Howl was a reference I sent for the artwork for Morgan/a! That wonderful wizard totally inspired their character, although I want to make them into more of a reconstruction of the character type later on 👀

Every time I hear a jazz song lately, I just Imagine Peisinoe singing it. I can’t help but stan them.

There won't be a long wait for Hastur! The walls will crumble in the upcoming update. That's all for now. 👀

Damn, I love your theories about He Without Name! My boyfriend always says I'm addicted to spoilers, so for my own personal growth, I'm just going to quietly enjoy the speculations for now hehe

Again, thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts! ❤️ These are literally the fuel that helps me get back and write!

💘 valentine's 💘 day 💘

illustration from The Quiver of Love: A Collection of Valentines Ancients and Modern by Walter Crane and Kate Greenaway

hi y'all!

sending you all valentine's greetings! 💖💝

I just wanted to let y'all know about a couple things I'm planning to do on the blog for valentine's day 💕💕

I'll be the first to admit that valentine's day is not exactly a favorite holiday of mine, but it's hard to deny the appeal of the aesthetics. so, to that end, I thought we could have a little fun with it 🥰

here's what I've got lined up:

cursèd valentines 🥀💔

a series of "anti-valentines" that I designed last year that you can send to your belothèd or just to your other friends who aren't big on valentine's day. the designs feature some lovely arrangements of poisonous flowers lol

macabre valentines 💀❤️

a couple valentines I designed last year with some danse macabre imagery and lyrics from noah kahan's "everywhere, everything." these are romantic I suppose, but in a distinctly memento mori way

"ash-entines" ⚰️💕

considering that ash wednesday happens to coincide with valentine's day, I thought this would be a fun time to combine some traditional valentine's imagery with some good ol' ash wednesday bleakness lmao. I don't celebrate ash wednesday anymore, so this is really just more to indulge my love for the drama of it all than anything else

inbox valentines exchange 💘💝

since we can't drop valentines and candy into each other's decorated shoeboxes, feel free to pop into my inbox (on or off anon - whichever you prefer!) with an emoji or a "happy valentine's day" or whatever strikes your fancy, and I'll give you a silly little vintage valentine 🥰

okay, if you made it to the end, thanks for reading! that's all I've got for you today, but I hope you enjoy your valentine's day however you choose to celebrate!! 💕💖💘💝

[taylormarieee]

For the writer's asks: 🍉, 💝, 💥, and 💌, if you would be so kind. :)

Hiiiii! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

🍉in what ways has writing helped you process trauma and/or navigate through your own life?

Ooof. Big questions for 6am on a Wednesday morning 😅 I'd say it's not so much about the content, but rather the process of writing that has helped me deal with some of the ups and downs. There is something so soothing about forcing myself in a schedule with it, and making it a part of my routine that means, when everything gets too much or I'm overwhelmed, it's like there's this built in happy place I can sink into. Even if what I produce that day is trash, the habit helps me manage everything else.

💝what is a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

Oh, this is easy! People seemed to get very into the final Valentine's Day story I wrote, particularly the text exchange between the Sanctuary crew in which everyone is just teasing Will for being so out of it that he didn't realise Helen and Nikola were together. I mean, I liked it well enough, but I didn't expect other people to be so into it as well.

💥find your least kudos'd fic - say something wonderful about it.

Ha! Well, I had an easy answer but now my fic that had zero has one, which means I have a tie. My two most recent offerings in my new 'A Lifetime of Learning' series are the lowest.

'A Lesson in the Aesthetic Qualities' - I really love how I captured the developing relationship between James, Helen and John. It feels really authentic to me, and the way they play off one another I think builds really well over the rest of the series (even if it's not all posted yet).

'A Lesson in Domestication' - purely from a writing standpoint, I love the first line/last line circular-ness of it. Plus, I think it's pretty damn steamy, tbh.

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

OK. So, I went hunting for something I thought you would enjoy and then I remembered this beauty that I smashed out last night... So it is part of the 'A Lifetime of Learning' series which is my 'the Five was also a sex thing AU'. In it, Helen, Nikola, John and James are a Thing and it changes the trajectory of their lives in some ways, but not others. One of the 'nots' is that Henry still comes along and Helen all but adopts him, except now he's sort of raised by all of them.

The following scene comes from when he's around 14 and dealing with the realisation that he's a HAP, and I am IN LOVE with the whole chapter:

Nikola reached over, placing a hand on the boy’s shoulder and offering what he hoped was a reassuring smile. There was a moment where he wondered if Henry might push off the contact, but before Nikola could withdraw his hand, Henry threw himself into his arms, wrapping long gangly limbs around his waist.

Nikola was mildly pleased that he didn't hesitate before wrapping his arms around the boy in response. They stayed like that for a few minutes, Nikola ignoring the poorly muffled sobs that he could feel dampening his tie and choosing to pat the boy's head rather than complain.

A few minutes later Henry pulled back with a final sniffle, obviously intent on avoiding Nikola gaze. In a swell of something that he felt could almost be considered paternal, Nikola reached out and tipped the boy's chin up until he could look him in the eye.

“You know it's going to be OK, right? We'll figure this out.”

omg your blog is so aesthetics. or I love blue. or both. it's both.

Happy valentine's day, Hannah! In Finnish it's called 'ystävänpäivä' ('friend's day'), because here friends are more important than romance (probably not actually, I don't know why it was translated like that lol).

I made you a box of digital chocolates with this picrew I found! <3

Omg they're so perfect I can't even express! AND you taught me some Finnish? You spoil me so! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 thank you for this ask. You just made my week. ❤️

Happy Ystävänpäivä. 🥰

Let’s see if I can write a few things up today and happy Sunday everyone ❤️ keep an eye out for the valentines memes ❤️

[hotdogdynamitezzz]

Hiii 💕 Happy Valentines Day! ❤️ I love your blog 🫶🏻

Could I please do option #3?

Hey, Happy Valentine's Day!! I love you too & thanks it's greatly appreciated🥺<3

I've always been a big fan of North Node in the 1st house, so of course I will start there. Your NN is in Cancer at a Leo degree conjunct Jupiter in a libra degree. You are very magnetic and easily draw people's attention to you although you could be used to serving other's daily tasks and slightly uncomfortable with being "selfish" for your own needs once in a while. You wish to be recognized but are used to catering to others so this shows the need to find your own identity in this life, take charge and express your creativity. The NN trines your midheaven and the ruler is the Moon which tries Chiron and opposites Uranus so you bring a spark of joy that's often healing in your presence. You inspire others easily and will further develop a strong persona

Your glow asteroid in Aries 10th house means you shine the brightest when pursuing your career or facing challenges in the public eye; it is in a Taurus degree so your glow can be seen physically to the public through your body or aesthetics. You may have a lovely voice!

Pluto conjunct Mars in the 6th house means you go after tasks and goals with a lot of determination, you are very ambitious and could use sports or any physical activity as a way to destress. This brings sharpness and power to your mind when you plan, a very strategic placement yet are prone to overworking and possibly getting injured. You have a lot of physical and mental resilience.

Do you have a favorite art style in the game? As you know, Mystic Messenger doesn't maintain a consistent art style, so you can see variety in this one. Many of your artists draw beautifully, but if I have to say what my favorite art is, it's the art in Another Story, specifically in Ray's route. OMG, how I love that art, that drawing, the lighting, the proportions and the scenery.

It's extremely magical and beautiful ❤️

I would love to see that style again in possible future content. I miss it 💗

Hm. Yeah, they've had a lot of artists over the years and there's a lot of different aesthetics to each of those styles. They all have a charm to them that people embrace and it's always interesting to see what CGs people love the most. The most recent artist who worked on all the title screens this past year has definitely gotten a lot of love for a charming, stylish, and detailed approach.

Now, a lot of the earlier designs were simple in nature, but that's not a bad thing. It makes me nostalgic for my first days of playing Mystic Messenger in 2016. It captured what you were feeling back then, and that was the important part. When you get a new CG in the game, it's like Christmas. You're excited and jumping up and down because "oh, boy, I love this character. I need to know and see more!"

Another Story is in the middle in terms of the game trying to find a style that felt fresh and new but wasn't too far away from what the original artist(s) tried to create. I am a Saeran MC, so, of course, I'd probably lean toward the art there because it contains most of my boys. I am partial to that but we know why. The same reason why I'm partial to Saeran's After Ending. The art there is... chef's kiss. I have a lot of favorites in that category so it's hard to narrow it down.

The DLCs have a vast range of artistic talent, too. They make their best attempt to make sure it feels like Mystic Messenger, but people can note something being off since you can only emulate a style so much when it's not yours! Be it Christmas, Valentine's, Rika's Behind, and Jumin's DLC. I have favorites in there, though. There is a charm in these side stories that you can't miss.

If I had my pick... hm. It's s hard to say because I love all of the art we've gotten over the years. The artist who did the After Ending for Saeran has my soul, let's be real. I don't know how to be impartial outside of that because I just love looking at Saeran and having all that art of him makes me giddy. But, I can't take away from the other pieces of art that make my heart sing.

Here are some of my favorite CGs from each route and DLC. I obviously can’t put all of them in a single post but I feel like these lean toward my favorite style choices. I tried to limit it down to two from each route but that’s so hard! Spoilers for literally all the content in this game. All of it. If you want me to share the ones I love from title screens, I can do that, but this got too long to share all those! I’d say these are favorites because of the style, but also because of the emotion or scene they’re attached to.

❄️🎄for the tag game, if you would like to answer!!! I'm partial to autumn and Halloween, personally ❤️

Hi nonny!!

❄️- what is your favorite season?

I'm a big fan of the spring, I love cool mornings and warm afternoons. The extra sunshine. The cute lil daffodils popping up :^)

🎄- what is your favorite holiday?

It sounds odd, but I really do like Valentines Day. I dont care for the more performative nature of the day. But I do love the aesthetic, all the pink and red hearts, the super cute stuffed animals!

Halloween is almost even with it though, I can see why you're partial to it!
