🧪 Character Arcs 101: what they are, what they aren’t, and how to make them hurt

by rin t. (resident chaos scribe of thewriteadviceforwriters)

Okay so here’s the thing. You can give me all the pretty pinterest moodboards and soft trauma playlists in the world, but if your character doesn’t change, I will send them back to the factory.

Let’s talk about character arcs. Not vibes. Not tragic backstory flavoring. Actual. Arcs. (It hurts but we’ll get through it together.)

─────── ✦ ───────

💡 what a character arc IS:

a transformational journey (keyword: transformation)

the internal response to external pressure (aka plot consequences)

a shift in worldview, behavior, belief, self-concept

the emotional architecture of your story

the reason we care

💥 what a character arc is NOT:

a sad monologue halfway through act 2

a single cool scene where they yell or cry

a moral they magically learn by the end

a “development” label slapped on a flatline

─────── ✦ ───────

✨ THE 3 BASIC FLAVORS OF ARC (and how to emotionally damage your characters accordingly):

Positive Arc They start with a flaw, false belief, or fear that limits them. Through the events of the story (and many Ls), they confront that internal lie, grow, and emerge changed. Hurt factor: Drag them through the mud. Make them fight to believe in themselves. Break their trust, make them doubt. Let them earn their ending.

Negative Arc They begin whole(ish) and devolve. They fail to overcome their flaw or false belief. This arc ends in ruin, corruption, or defeat. Hurt factor: Let them almost have a chance. Build hope. Then show how they sabotage it, or how the world takes it anyway. Twist the knife.

Flat/Static Arc They don’t change, but the world around them does. They hold onto a core truth, and it’s their constancy that drives change in others. Think: mentor, revolutionary, or truth-teller type. Hurt factor: Make the world push back. Make their values cost them something. The tension comes from holding steady in chaos.

─────── ✦ ───────

🎯 how to build an arc that actually HITS (no ✨soft lessons✨, just internal structure):

Lie they believe: What false thing do they think about themselves or the world? (“I’m unlovable.” “Power = safety.” “I’m only valuable if I’m useful.”)

Want vs. need: What do they think they want? What do they actually need to grow?

Wound/backstory scar: What made them like this? You don’t need a tragic past™ but you do need cause and effect.

Turning point: What moment forces them to question their worldview? What event cracks the surface?

Moment of choice: Do they change? Or not? What decision seals their arc?

🧪 Pro tip: this is not a worksheet. This is scaffolding. The arc lives in the story, not just your doc notes. The lie isn’t revealed in a monologue, it’s felt through consequences, relationships, mistakes.

─────── ✦ ───────

🛠️ things to actually do with this:

Write scenes where the character’s flaw messes things up. Like, they lose something. A person. A plan. Their cool. Make the flaw hurt.

Track their beliefs like a timeline. How do they start? What chips away at it? When does the shift stick?

Use relationships as arc mirrors. Who challenges them? Enables them? Forces reflection? Internal change is almost never solo.

Revisit the lie. Circle back to it at least three times in escalating intensity. Reminder > confrontation > transformation.

─────── ✦ ───────

🌊 bonus pain level: REVERSE THE ARC

Wanna make it really hurt? Set them up for one arc, and give them the opposite. They think they’re growing into a better person. But actually, they’re losing themselves. They think they’re spiraling. But they’re really healing. Let them be surprised. Let the reader be surprised.

─────── ✦ ───────

TL;DR: If your plot is a skeleton, your character arc is the nervous system.

The change is the thing. Don’t just dress it up in trauma. Don’t let your character learn nothing. Make them face themselves. And yeah. Make it hurt a little. (Or a lot. I won’t stop you.)

Origin Story PT 2

Pairing: Alpha Alexia Putellas/Omega Reader, Omega Mapi León/Omega Reader, Alpha Ingred Engen/Omega Reader,

Summary: You get invited to a Barca game by an Alpha at your school who wouldn't accept.

WordCount: 0.7K

Comment or send me an ask to be added to the woso A/B/O taglist

Okay, maybe going to the after-party was a stupid idea you stumble your way to your 7 am lecture with a pounding headache and an ache in your cunt. You left Mapi’s apartment at 5 and caught a cab to get to your apartment so you could change and get to class on time. There is no doubt that you reek like them, but you didn't have time to shower and get to class on time. Leaving early had the added benefit of avoiding any awkward conversations since they didn’t know where you went to school, and you hadn’t exchanged numbers with any of them. Surely they wouldn’t want to see you again after last night. You can’t help but wonder what life would be like if you were with them, as unbelievable as that is. How happy you would be if you had always had a special connection to the omegas in your life, and this pack has two, so it's like heaven for you.

Your lectures wrap up about four hours later, and you trail out into the hall, trying to avoid Maddie like the plague. But her lily and patulio scent hits you like a brick wall, making you stop in your tracks. It seems your efforts are for nothing as Maddie rounds the corner, walking directly toward you. So, of course, you, like any normal person, turn and start speed walking away from her. “Are you seriously running away from me right now?” She growled, snatching your wrist. “Oh, sorry, Maddie, I didn’t see you.” You smile falsely at her. “You owe me. I can’t believe you just abandoned me at the game, You could have at least helped me out.” She glances down at her sweats, and your eyes naturally follow. “I don’t believe I owe you anything.” You try to pull away, but her grip stays strong. She pulls your hand to palm her cock through her sweat and you bite back bile.

“Bebita, there you are,” a voice down the hall calls at you, the strong scent of (Insert Here) filling the hall. “Oh, so you're a slut just not for me” Maddie spits. “Get your hands off my omega,” Alexia growls. She grabs Maddie’s wrist, holding it so hard that you fear it might snap. “And who do you think you are?” Maddie tries to pull away, but can’t, and a look of fear crosses her face. Alexia just pushes her away and pulls you behind her and out of the school quickly. “How did you know I was here?” You ask as Alexia helps you into her car. 

“I made a call, Mapi and Ona were so sad when they woke up, so I promised to come find you and let them tell you how much of a bad girl you are.” She leans across you to buckle your seatbelt, and her scent overwhelms you. “Im the bad girl’ you ask, slightly annoyed with her. “You left without saying anything. It won’t be safe for you by yourself anymore.” Alexia warns as she pulls out of the parking lot. It hits you that you are in a car with this woman you barely know; this is the beginning of every kidnapping. “Maybe I should go.” You try to pull on the door, but it’s childproof.

“Wherever you want to go, I’ll take you, but you can’t go alone.” Her eyes never once leave the road as she speaks. “And why can’t I go alone?” You say with some bite, your scent no doubt turning sour. “The paparazzi will be all over you. Pictures from the party are all over. Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised if my pups were already in you.” She smirks, and it makes you want to bite her and not in a sexy way. “I can’t have your pup. I can't have anyone pup in school full time.” You try to open the door again to no avail. “Mapi and Ona can’t have pups till they retire. We need you.” Alexia’s voice has turned to a needy whine. “So you want me to be a baby maker?”

“No, I want you to be our omega, and pups would be an added bonus. Just see if you like it for one week. If you hate it, you can go back to school, and we will leave you alone,” Alexia promises. “ I can’t not go to school; I’ll lose my scholarship.” You are over this whole conversation, but she doesn’t seem to be letting it go. “ I will sponsor your school, please. Just try, that's all im asking you. ”I can even make up a contract if that will make you feel better. Alexia looks like a kicked puppy, and you can’t kick her again. “Fine, one week”.

under mesopotamian stars

pairing: the void x the enchantress, slight robert ‘bob’ reynolds x reader

summary: a backstory on how two entities met for the first and second time.

warning: mentions of y/n, blood, war, curse word, and tension.

author’s note: I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING IN A WHILE🥹🥹 university has me in a chokehold and not in a good way, oh ALSO i want to clarify that reader, unlike june from DCU, can actually use enchantress’s powers herself but only a fraction of it🤏

1600 B.C

the world was young, still drenched in nothing but myth.

in the highlands of mesopotamia, the sky tore open, and from its wound, poured a shadow not cast by any sun- the void, primordial and unshaped, spilled into the world in the aftermath of an ancient war.

and beneath moonlit ruins, she danced- the enchantress, cloaked in energy, appearing as green flame. her temple was soaked in sacrifice, her magic was worshiped and feared.

he was drawn to her like decay to flesh.

“you are not of this world.” she said, her voice echoing in the chamber as she looked upon the dark figure.

“so are you,” he replied, swirling into a human-like figure, “but you wear this world like silk.”

she smiled slowly and tilted her head. “do you seek power?”

“i seek silence.”

she then stepped toward him, unafraid. “then why do you follow the sound of my heart?”

that night, they didn’t speak again. the stars blinked away as their shadows entwined.

they weren’t lovers. they were omens.

but the gods, fearful of what their union might birth, tore them apart.

she was sealed in a tomb by her so-called subjects, her soul bound to a doll.

he was cast back into the space-between, locked behind walls of thought and will.

THE PRESENT DAY

millennia passed, civilizations fell, empires turned to dust.

and then came y/n, the new host of the enchantress, and robert ‘bob’ reynolds, the sentry, barely holding back the flood of the void within.

they both ended up where fate always puts its cursed pieces: in a vault, minutes away from being incinerated.

yelena raised her weapons. “great. a witch.”

your voice was low, trying to sound as intimidating as possible, “you don’t belong here, widow.”

walker took a step forward. “neither do you. so unless you want to get reacquainted with blackout protocols, stand down-“

you suddenly threw a wave of magic that sent walker flying into the walls. ava blinked into the floor, phased halfway through it to avoid the lash of energy. yelena rolled, firing bullets that you caught midair and twisted into birds of flame.

then you they saw each other.

bob froze, darkness pulsing beneath his skin.

you turned, green energy crackling in your eyes.

“you…” she whispered, taking complete control of your body.

bob clutched his head as the void whispered her name, his body replaced by nothing but a dark silhouette, by force.

“you were the only silence i ever loved.” he said softly, coming closer to her.

and she smiled again, the same way she did under mesopotamian stars.

they weren’t enemies. nor allies.

just two cursed gods wearing mortal skin, fated to meet where death lingers.

and this time?

this time, they wouldn’t let the gods stop them.

☆bonus appearance of chonky crochet Peepy I made in my video! He's my current main squeeze 👀

[iriyaices]

Hi I just want to collect memory scenes that I drew

If you haven't seen the VIDEO yet, please go watch it. I'm so proud of this.

Ok This scene is a time without lyrics, so I wanted to include Cole's important scenes.

The first is the scene where he sacrifices his sword to Jay and is eliminated

And this one so hard to see so I didn't want to include his most important scene, this Lloyd talking to Cole about setting up a new team after Zane died and Cole helping his teammates convey that Cole is still a ninja no matter what.

" You can build me up, you can tear me down "

" You can try but I'm unbreakable "

It was when Cole unlocked his true potential. Lou, the person Cole wanted to accept Cole as he was, rejected his identity and accepted it on the same day after seeing how happy he was being himself.

" You can try but I'm unbreakable "

Even though it doesn't match the lyrics, this is the scene that conveys this part of the song

It's the scene where he falls into darkness and the scene where he turns into a ghost. even after all that, Cole still unbreakable :D

"You can do your best, but I'll stand the test"

This is the scene after he falls and becomes a ghost. Even though it's hard, even though it's painful, even though it's hopeless, he still fights.

"You'll find that I'm unshakeable"

Cut to his face that is shaken but still confident and memory behind him is the scene where he fought Yang and he was so desperate and then he heard his friend's voice and he realized what he was fighting for.

Bonus

silly photo, I like to think that there's no way they would take a single photo and pass. It's family time for them XD

Thank you for reading and watching my clip. It means a lot <3

Matt Murdock NSFW Alphabet

MDNI

---

A — Aftercare:

He excels at it. Whether he just edged you for hours, made you beg, or completely wrecked you… he’s immediately in soft, grounding mode after. Cleaning you up, soothing praise, holding you tight while stroking your hair. If you cried or got overwhelmed? He’ll stay up whispering how safe you are.

“You did so well, baby. I’ve got you. I’m right here.”

B — Body Part (His Favorite):

Your thighs. He loves gripping them, spreading them, biting into them. Also obsessed with how they shake when you’re about to come — or can’t stop coming.

> Bonus: He’s unfairly turned on by your neck. He can hear your pulse spike when he gets close.

C — Cum:

Matt’s possessive — and it shows in how and where he finishes. He loves cumming inside you the most — deep, slow thrusts as you pulse around him, then just staying there, buried in you, watching his release leak out as you tremble. But he also has a thing for cumming on your thighs, in your mouth (especially when you keep eye contact and swallow), your stomach and chest, and in your pussy, again and again, until you’re wrecked.

He gets obsessed with the sight — the slick mix of you and him dripping out after he pulls out. Sometimes he’ll finger it back in, watching you squirm. Other times he’ll make you keep it in and kiss you like he didn’t just ruin you five seconds ago.

“Look at that,” he’ll whisper, dragging a finger through the mess between your legs. “So full of me.”

***can y’all tell I like this letter***

D — Dirty Talk:

Oh, God. He’s filthy. Slow, low, articulate — he talks you through everything. From teasing promises to whispered commands. But he can also praise the hell out of you. He’ll tell you what he’s doing, what you’re doing to him, and exactly how he’s going to ruin you.

“You want to come that bad? Say please. Look at me and say it.”

E — Experience:

Extremely experienced — and not just physically. Emotionally, mentally, psychologically. He understands desire, vulnerability, need. And he knows exactly how to handle all of it.

F — Favorite Position:

Missionary with your legs pushed back, deep and eye-locked. He loves watching your face when he breaks you apart. Also into riding — slow grind while he controls the rhythm with a hand on your throat or hips.

G — Goofy:

Almost never in bed. But if you’re feeling nervous or insecure? He’ll crack a soft smile, kiss your nose, say something to make you laugh and feel safe — then flip you over and make you scream.

H — Hair:

Keeps it trimmed and neat — not bare, but groomed. He loves when you tug his hair during oral. And he’s obsessed with your hair — fisting it, holding it while he kisses you, getting lost in the scent.

I — Intimacy:

Even when it’s rough, it’s intimate. Eye contact, slow strokes, hands on your heart and hips. He wants you to feel every inch of him. Emotional connection turns him on as much as physical.

J — Jack Off:

Only when he’s missing you — and only with something of yours nearby (shirt, panties, scent). But he prefers holding out, letting the tension build until he’s desperate and rough with you.

K — Kinks:

Edging, overstimulation, oral fixation, power/control play, begging, praise and degradation mix, restraints (rope, silk ties, his belt), voice kink — he knows what his voice does to you, sensation play — touch, heat, etc., he uses all of it.

L — Location:

Matt is bold when it comes to where he wants to be with you. Whether it’s his dimly lit apartment, the rooftop under the stars, or even his office after a long day of fighting crime, he craves the mix of risk and intimacy. Every place feels charged with tension because he’s always aware of the stakes — but when he’s with you, those risks only deepen the connection and desire between you.

M — Motivation:

The moment your body leans toward his. The way you exhale his name. How you look at him like he’s the only man in the world. He’s feral for you and shows it without hesitation.

N — NO:

He will never push a hard limit. Never do anything that triggers fear, shame, or trauma. He can play rough, but your safety — physical and emotional — comes first.

O — Oral (Giving):

Oh, sweetheart.

He is obsessed.

He could eat you out for hours. It’s not just foreplay — it’s his favorite thing. Holding your thighs open, locking in with his senses. Reading every gasp, pulse, tremble. He wants you to shake, cry, beg.

“Don’t run. Take it. I’m not stopping ‘til you’re soaked.”

P — Pace:

Usually slow and deep. Teasing. Controlled. But when you beg, when you scream his name? He breaks. Then he’s relentless, pounding into you until you’re shaking.

Q — Quickies:

Matt’s not really one for rushed sex, but when the moment hits—whether it’s in an empty stairwell, in the kitchen while dinner is simmering, or right before he has to rush out on patrol. If you’re alone in a stairwell? He’ll lift your thigh, slip inside, and whisper filth into your ear while covering your mouth. He respects the power in quickies, but he usually prefers taking his time to truly savor you. Still, when there’s no other choice, he makes every second count, leaving you breathless and aching for more.

R — Risk:

Calculated risk? Yes. He lives for tension — just not at your expense. If you want to play with it, he’s game. But he won’t put you in a position where you don’t feel safe.

S — Stamina:

Ridiculous. He can go all night. He’ll edge you for hours, then give you multiple rounds. And he’s still hard and aching for you long after you collapse.

T — Toys:

Absolutely into them — for you, mostly. Vibrators, dildos, plugs — he uses them to tease, to warm you up, to overstimulate. He’s not insecure. He loves watching you fall apart with one while he whispers praise.

“That’s it. Show me how bad you need me.”

U — Unfair:

Completely.

He’ll tease you until you cry. He’ll make you beg, then pull back. He’ll use his mouth until you’re seconds from release — then stop and pin your hips down.

“What’s wrong, baby? Thought you wanted to come.”

V — Volume:

Mostly controlled — low growls, dirty whispers. But when he really loses it? Deep moans, breathy curses, your name like a prayer.

W — Wild Card:

Matt loves surprising you with restraint—using his tie, belt, or even just one strong hand to hold your wrists above your head while he takes control. One of his favorite secret pleasures is mirror sex. Even though he can’t see the reflection himself, he loves how you squirm and move, knowing you’re being watched and can see yourself in all your raw, beautiful vulnerability. That mix of your self-awareness and his intense touch drives both of you wild in ways words can’t capture.

X — X-ray:

Not a monster, but well-endowed. Thick, curved just enough to hit exactly where it matters. He knows how to use every inch of it with devastating accuracy.

Y — Yearning:

He craves you constantly. Even on patrol, when he’s in danger — he’ll think of your voice, your taste, your skin. He aches for you when you’re apart. He needs you like air.

Z — ZZZ:

Matt doesn’t get much sleep, but when he finally does, it’s always wrapped around you. Shirtless and still carrying the weight of the day, his heartbeat presses steady against your back, one hand resting possessively on your hip or thigh. Even in sleep, he’s utterly protective, as if you’re the only thing grounding him in the chaos.

[fwol-jintu]

Im finally... ALLOWED TO SCREEAAAMMM!!!!!!

Ok so hear me out; demon shen yuan and luo binghe but give shen yuan a different flavor cone of insane

So like we all know this is how they look like right

But what if, we dont give shen yuan the bottom beauty/chronic loser look even tho we all love it a lot and instead — listen to me — we make him look as threatening and deranged as possible

Make him taller than lbh, make his demonism more obvious, give him an aura that makes people threatened and uncomfortable, make him have those crazy mad scientist eyes, and best of all- make him unaware hes acting like this via OUR LOVABLE FREAK SYSTEM !!! This time, Chaos edition, where its just set out to derail the plot as much as possible as an experiment

Basically its my excuse to write ooc-not-really-by-choice shen yuan js like the beast bunny au

Bonus points if sy's demon species is a species known for cruelty the most and sy js straight up fits the criteria appearance-wise and then hits lbh w that "oh oops im actually a good person compared to what you think, i just look really insane"

Oh also original luo binghe because its funnier

And also.... its the abyss arc

so so so SOOOOO Luo binghe falls down into the abyss and his heart slowly freezes over and hardens from his collective rage from his shizun's betrayal and from having to survive such a hell hole all alone.

he learns that trusting anyone or anything in the abyss is a mistake that can cost his life. He's had too many close calls, he doesn't know how hes surviving but hes surviving until he can get out of here and torture that damn bastard.

and then; he meets this... demon that set off all of his alarms. that raw look in his eyes as if he views luo binghe as a toy, pathetic and weak, to his mannerisms and how he seems to treat this place as some damn playground, to how he seems to think luo binghe will so easily trust him after all he has been through.

and yet, luo binghe finds himself injured and vulnerable infront of said demon. In his defense, the demon approached him when he was at his weakest, but he wasnt weak enough to not fight back (or as he likes to think.)

He tried, struggled and clawed and even resorted to biting, but it was futile against the relentless demon. The demon with its wide, mocking smile, told him; "sleep well, dirty lamb." His eyes were forced to shut closed.

AND THEN AFTERWARDS luo binghe wakes up to this freak of nature and is so so on guard but THEN shen yuan acts nice to him and ofc that wont do shit until like a few days later when the effects start taking place but still

Shen yuan teaches him about the abyss and how to survive and stuff, and does his usual yappery except errr he keeps calling luo binghe little lamb and lbh asks about it and he says "because you have fluffy hair and is small like one, little lamb!" Hes absolutely flabbergasted by this news. Hey hes above average! Shen yuan's just a freak!!

And then binghe gets a monster kink because its shen yuan and because hes also equally a freak we shant pretend he isnt

That aside, i just want more freak feral monster shen yuan

On shen yuan's side of the table

Sy: ISNT THAT LUO BINGHE?! OMG OMG OMG HES SO- hes so cool omg system take a picture PLS

System: (side eyeing sy) Yes Host.

Sy: eugh hes hot even when hes injured SYSTEM TAKE A PICTURE

System: Yes Host.

Sy: oh shit right i need to help him- uhmmm "Hi!- uhh, dont be afraid, i just want to help.."

System: filtering....

What luo binghe hears: "Hello there lamb. Looks like you're injured... i suppose you'll be this one's easy patient today..! Hahaha!"

Yes

[wordy-little-witch]

Terra and Sun really need more screen time. Out if everyone, I think their dynamic gets me the most - nit just bc I'm a Sun and Terra kinnie but bc like... they have the most relatable energy for me specifically regarding trauma.

Therefore, by the power invested in me as a goofy ass gremlin, I deposit my Sun & Terra headcanons!!!

🌎 They sometimes just coexist in the same space, doing separate crafts. No socializing, just some music, maybe, or background noise as they engage in parallel play

☀️ it is difficult to find clothes in their sizes, being animatronics, so Sun pulls Terra aside one day and drags her to his favorite secret place - a little hole-in-the-wall boutique a few states away. He's glowing with a blush when he explains that it's where he gets all his top favorite clothes - including dresses... He expects the teasing remarks, the jabs. Terra surprises him by just asking if he wanted to see if they could get matching dresses one day, then - maybe even one for Dazzle, too! Fancy Dress Up Party!!!

🌎 Terra has forced Sun into watching Disney movies with her - so far, Encanto may be their shared favorite.

☀️ They do rage rooms and paint ball/laser tag together. It's good for blowing off steam, and it's hilarious when the rest of their family gets roped into it, bc they wipe the FLOOR with everyone.

🌎 Terra is one of very few who can pick Sun up and carry him off without mild lingering audial damage or getting accidentally punched

☀️ they have spa nights where they touch up on casing paints, do their nails, and gossip.

🌎 Sun is the only person wuth full, unlimited allowance to style Terra's hair. She knows basic upkeep and how to generally do basic styles, but Sun can get INTRICATE with it, and it doubles as a fun bonding experience with bonus points of stimming.

☀️ Sun is claustrophobic, and Terra makes a point at any available chance to double check that any outing or event is open enough. She never tells Sun about it, but he suspects she's up to something when a half baked idea gets suddenly scrapped due to "bad reviews" or "actually, I really am craving this instead-"

🌎 They both like pokemon in passing, but really enjoy playing Diamond or Pearl just to do the contests. Like. If there was a game that was SPECIFICALLY for pokemon contests, they'd be all over that like bees on honey. ((Me fr))

☀️ Earth stims via echolalia and Sun stims with textures. Sometimes he'll read from a dictionary, rubbing the pages and Earth just repeats the words in a mutually beneficial stim party.

🌎 they both get into crafty hobbies together - sculpting, basic builds, resin, etc. They wind up making gifts for everyone and each other. (Sun has a set of magnets for the fridge from Terra, and she has a whole set of hair pins and sticks with bobbles and pretty colors)

☀️ they use code words and social safe words. There's a whole list of severity on a scale of 1 - 5; 1 being 'things are good' and 5 being 'get me the hell out of here'. It is uniquely tailored to each, and there's a sort of... unspoken agreement that it can be used for anything - including family situations, as needed.

🌎 ^^ that said, it's also not unusual at all for Sun to pop over and curl up with Terra in the night or vice versa when the Bad Brain Stuff Happens. Sometimes Dazzle will sneak in as well because she wants in on the cuddle action.

☀️ "would you love me if I was a [insert weird or mildly scary animal]?" // "no ♡" // "that's fair" ((this happens at least once a month))

🌎 they like watching nature and true crime documentaries. Also, they enjoy some good paranormal investigation shows, though they have Strong Opinions ((and half baked ideas to do their own ghost hunting show one day))

☀️ Sun is Terra's swearing filter. She can't and won't use such language, but Sun can! And will!! And wants to!!! (("Why don't you mind your own-" // "FUCKING-" // "-business? Thank you, Sunny." // "any time, sis 💅"))

🌎 they have the vibe of sitting in lawn chairs, sipping kool-aid slashes in fancy glasses, feet in a kiddie pool with huge sunglasses while the actual kids are sword fighting with pool noodles, I don't make the rules

4. stay until I fall asleep

idk what to say here I'm just weak for Ciel showing Sebastian his weakness an being able to fall asleep when his demon is near. and how Sebastian's reaction to this order probably changed over the years from indifference or maybe condescension to soft care and personal WANT to be there with him.

5. ciel being Sebastian's dress up doll

not a moment but a Thing they do throughout the manga, never fails to make me swoon

6. (ik cheating) their "palm language"

I think it was underutilised and I want more of it. its so intimate and sweet, and the physical contact aspect is so delicious 😋😋😋

ugh I love them so much I could talk for hours. thank you for your ask! I would love to hear about your top 5 💗

[ddwcaph-game]

Hello everyone!

As I mentioned earlier, I'll be sharing more information about the new EXP/NP mechanic! Hopefully this should tide you all over while you wait for the next update. 😊

What's the new mechanic about?

Before I begin, let me preface this by saying that I plan to keep DDWCaPH! character-focused and NOT a stats-focused game. In fact, I've designed the new mechanics to be as simple and as unobtrusive to the story as possible, with the side effect of making some of the current traits/souvenirs with overloaded effects simpler.

The old EXP System

Alright, so the EXP system has always been kind of an afterthought (since leveling up from 12 to 13 takes very long). It feels like gaining EXP has no point at all, especially when you get more bonuses from acquiring traits and discovering trinkets.

With the introduction of NP, I tried to solve this by increasing your Max NP whenever you earn a certain amount of EXP. I still wasn't satisfied, but now that there's an NP mechanic, I was finally able to think of a solution to that, along with another problem I had: How do I introduce the special interactions from Ancestry/Heritage Traits without being too jarring? It would be weird if Dragon MC can suddenly just fly, and it would also be weird if they always knew they could.

I didn't go with a traditional leveling up system at first, since I wanted to keep the age = level thing, until I realized that it doesn't have to be MC leveling up, it could be the locket instead!

Introducing: Locket Upgrades!

Starting the next update, earning EXP will now level up your locket! Leveling up increases your Max NP, and gives you 1 Locket Upgrade point to spend.

Since I don't want it to be distracting, you can only spend the upgrade points at the end of every chapter. I'm also including a chapter summary in the next update (instead of just the end-of-playthrough summary), so that felt like a natural, non-disruptive place to put the Locket Upgrade menu. I might change it so that you can upgrade whenever in the VN version, but that's how it'll be for now.

What kind of upgrades can I get?

The Locket Upgrades are divided into 4 categories:

Stat Upgrades

Narrativium Upgrades

Relationship Upgrades

Special Upgrades

Here's a preview of what the upgrade menu looks like:

Most upgrades can be upgraded up to ten times. So if something says +2%, the maximum would be +20%. However, to encourage spreading out your points and not just dump all of them into Knowledge, the upgrades will have level restrictions.

The 2nd upgrade is unlocked at Level 5, the 3rd upgrade at Level 10, while the 10th upgrade is unlocked at Level 100. This will most likely change, but you'll be able to reach Level 20 at around 90,000 EXP, while Level 100 can be reached around 1,300,000 EXP (the original EXP required to level up from 12 to 13).

The first four stat upgrades (the Rubescent ones) will have a different name according to your locket's gem, and your locket shape will determine whether you get Heartful Innocence or Starful Sophistication (I'm only showing both for demo purposes).

I didn't want it to be overwhelming, so some of the upgrades are locked until you finish certain chapters, when they become relevant.

I tried to add a variety of upgrades for each playstyle, so even if you don't spend any NP, you can still benefit from the upgrades.

Special Upgrades

The Special Upgrades category is way too long to show here, so here's a list of all the upgrades instead. All of the genre-exclusive upgrades are only unlocked once you finish Volume 1 (you get upgrades for both your favorite genres), but most of them are one-time upgrades (that cost 5 upgrade points to unlock).

Here's where you unlock the special interactions. I've always planned Fairytale MC to be able to talk to animals, but now I can avoid the "jarring" problem: now you need to unlock "Aesop's Wisdom" to be able to do so. This also has the bonus of making the progression feel more "earned", rather than MC being able to automatically talk to animals just because you picked Fairytales as your fave genre.

Some of the special upgrades are just stat bonuses, but that allows me more freedom to spread out the effects of the more complicated traits/trinkets. Most souvenirs now have less/weaker effects at the beginning (which helps avoid the problem of overwhelming the reader during the prologue), but you will be able to upgrade them later to be much more powerful. This delayed upgrade means I can add more fun effects to the souvenirs without worrying about "this is way too powerful for the first chapter".

The upgraded Ancestry traits (the "+" versions) that you get when you choose fantasy are now called Legacy Traits, and is now locked behind the "Daddy's Legacy" upgrade. Meanwhile, all sources of Enhanced Senses are now temporary. Enhanced Senses was way too polarizing (you also had no idea which traits grant it), so now everyone has the option to unlock it permanently after Volume 1.

Closing Thoughts

I've always loved coming up with game mechanics ever since I was very little, which is how the idea of MC pretending to be in an RPG came to be. I'm not spoiling what the other upgrades do for now, but I guess you can always peek at the code later. I did have a lot of fun brainstorming the upgrade effects and the upgrade names. You can tell I got some of them from TV Tropes.😄

That said, I hope this makes you more excited for the next update! Most of this has been coded already (minus the parts you can't unlock yet), so you don't need to worry about that. I really think tying the story and game mechanics this way will make the overall game experience much better.

Let me know what you guys think! I'd also love to know what kind of upgrades you'd want to focus on (or if you have any speculations about what effects the other upgrades do)!

DELTARUNE CHAPTER 3 SECRET BOSS STEP BY STEP GUIDE (SPOILERS AHEAD)

complete the first round of the gameshow with at least an S-rank to unlock the S-rank exclusive room if you fail to do this, there is a pippin who will sell you S-rank access for ~1000 points. this is only available the first round

enter the S-rank room, talk to ramb, and go into the room theyre blocking. head to the far left, start the game, leave the room, pick up the controller, and return. you can now play the game

to complete the game, you need to kill every enemy using a sword, which you can find by pushing the bottom left pyramid near the bottom of the map. this room corresponds to the mail room in normal play

once your level at the top is listed as 3, head to the cactuses on the far right of the map, break them using the sword, and this will unlock another area of enemies for you to kill

once your level is listed as max at the top of the screen, you're able to break trees. use this to escape from the map. i did this by going the farthest left i possibly could, and i havent tested other routes. keep travelling further away from the normal level until the game shows you a chest. opening this chest will give you the ice key and end the game

continue play as normal. achieve at least S-rank in the second round. you cannot buy access this time, so be careful! if you want bonus points to counteract susie in the rythm game, you can enter the waterfall room through the waterfall instead of the other side, which will let you eat moss off the wall for bonus points. this put me over the edge, but im pretty sure you can earn S-rank fine through normal play as long as you perform well enough

return to the game in the S-rank room. youre going to do the same thing again. get the sword from whats normally the camera room, and kill any enemies you find

when you run out of enemies on the main map, you need to take a raft and head up and off the map through the ocean to an area above it. go left and forward, and youll come across a door.

opening the door will bring you to a dungeon. walk around, kill anything you find. in the top left of the dungeon, youll find a white robed figure who will join you. when you slash your sword, theyll shoot forward. use this to freeze enemies, and use them as blocks to complete puzzles

once you achieve max level, break the orange boundaries somewhere in the left of the dungeon. go forward as far as you can. when you enter a room which seems to loop in every direction, you need to follow the white robed figures directions. walk into the center of the room, and then start walking down each path. they will refuse to follow you unless its the right path

my memory is a bit hazy here, but i think you just need to continue going down this path until you get the shelter key, where this round of the game ends

continue playing the game as normal from here on out. if you cant switch to susie when doing the door code puzzles immediately after this, and instead have kris with a sword, youve done it right

once you reach the point where you return to the green room and its snowy, go back to the S-rank room and play the game again

youre in a new area, and there are no enemies to kill. instead, you have to kill ralsei and susie to achieve max level

once youre at max level, use your sword to break the ropes blocking you off from the outside. youre going to do the same thing youve been doing this whole time, now, and kill everything in sight. when you get to the orange barriers, break them and walk through them

keep walking until you get to the shelter. kris will try to walk you away from it. you have to keep going forward

enter the shelter, keep walking, and youll eventually get to the boss fight

and uh! have fun after that! i cant tell you what comes after because my game crashed and i got too scared to keep going and deleted my save file

Blood Eclipse - LADS Vampire AU (prologue)

A/n: Hi everyone I’m here with a sort of prologue of a series I want to do on the lads boys as vampires but it might take a while to get this sorted cuz I’m dealing with terrible writing block so don’t be surprised it will take forever for another part to come out and I try to add more personality to (Y/N) cuz I wanted to and add more flavor to this series if I ever decide to continue this! And I’m sorry if my writing is extremely sloppy it’s been AGES since I written anything to the point I type this up all in one sitting! Anyways I hope you enjoy this piece of garbage content!

Word count: 1,114 words

Content warning: swearing, kidnapping?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It was going to be one shot you said it was going to be one shot but look at where you at now you are now are lost I repeat fucking L.O.S.T in the middle of a forest that looks like a backdrop of a slasher movie in your mind you can’t help but wonder what inspired you to something so fucking stupid.

You sigh as you ran your hand through your hair as you recalled yesterday during lunch break in the stuffy lunch room at your local community college….

……………..

“Are you for real?” You curiously chimed with a hint of annoyance laced in your voice with your friends story about that rumor of there being a Victorian castle deep in the forest that’s right behind your college’s long barbed wire fence

Every time you hear this rumor you can’t help but roll your eyes at this.

“It has to be a good joke that someone made for shits and giggles” you always thought to yourself. You roll your eyes at your friends excitement over the stupidity of this rumor “Tana, I already heard about this rumor.” “Like, everyone has heard about this rumor by now.” “What’s so special about it?”

Your friend in question pouts at your answer at her expense “oh come (Y/N) your no fun at all!” “trust me, this rumor is really interesting!” You then leaned forward towards your friend trying to show any interest in her story to give her any benefit of the doubt that you’re not interested

Once you did you proceeded to fan your hand towards singling her to continue she lightly smirks at this “oh, interested?” “Keep talking or I’m gonna just leave” “okay…” your friend clears her friend all dramatic like and proceeds to line into you towards your ear and whisper

“There’s another part of the rumor. You see, some people witness someone that could be living in that castle that’s…not…𝙷𝚞𝚖𝚊𝚗.”

……………….

And so you’re interested now in the rumors now all because your friend told you there could be a small or….well a BIG chance that something supernatural is living in that abandoned castle deep in the forest somewhere. And the reason why you wanted to do this? Is all because you want to get a unique shot of that so called supernatural being for your college class in photography and as well get some cool shots of the rumored castle as a bonus too.

And so thanks to some acquaintances you met in your classes you managed to snag a schedule of the night guards routes so you can avoid them during your own route to the fence

Once night fell you equipped yourself with your flashlight, backpack filled with your camera gear, snacks and if course the map of the forest and a marked trail of where to go to find the supposedly rumored castle

Before you knew it you made it to the fence you turn your head to the left and right to make sure no guards are around

“the coast is clear” you whispered under your breath with that you threw your backpack over the fence as well threw yourself over the fence too. Once on the other side of the fence you quickly picked up your backpack and threw it on your back and quickly walked towards the direction of your map that you made yesterday based on what your friend told you on where the castle could be. And so once you made it to the marked location you lowered your map to see…nothing,nothing,nothing but trees upon trees ahead you are so confused “huh? Odd…should it be here? Wait,Don’t tell me…” you then remembered what your friend told you in the middle of your excitement about this “hey, just warning this might not be the right location I gave you cuz the location always changes depends on who’s telling the story…”

You face palm yourself at this sudden moment of reflection “god…fucking…DAMMIT!!!

As you shout out your anger out in the air you hear the sound of frightened birds flying overhead probably away from you from startling them from your new founded frustration

“Great…just—fucking great I’m lost and have the wrong directions how am I going to get out of here?!” As you try to think your next action you then hear a different sound in the air

“Oh what now—oh huh is that a—

You confused out of your mind see a Bat flying in the air above your head “odd, I didn’t think we have bats in this area…?” Before you can think the bat in question flew towards you like a bird trying to get bread quickly you duck but —“hey!” The bat took the damn map your only way of sorta of getting back to the college campus in one piece if you sense of reading maps was good but what you knew it was elementary school level

So you run as fast as you can towards the flying bat that has your map hostage as you keep running you didn’t notice that the forest is all of a sudden lightning up as you ran by each section of trees like as if it was welcoming you

But all things considered that came to an end before you can reacted you tripped on a lose rock on the forest floor you landed on the floor of the forest rough knocking the wind out of your lungs as you tried to get air back into your lungs after the rough impact you see on the ground five shadows of figures you slowly look up to see five figures looking right at you

“Who…are…you?” You said while wheezing for air “Damn it” you think to yourself “I can’t see them due to how dark it is and my vision is fucking blurry due to my glasses falling off my face due to the impact” “I need to…” “get out of…here” before you can say another word you heard a sound of someone coming towards you it was one of the five figures. The figure put their hand on your right shoulder and proceeded to lean forward into your ear “Don’t worry sweetie. You’re in good hands”

“Huh? what do you mean”- you then feel your head going light and you start blacking out as your vision started to fade to black you hear the faint sound of chuckling around you and you then Felt your body being carried away to who knows where you try to fight it off but to no avail you passed out.

Thanks for reading and I hope you’re enjoying the rest of your day!

How You Make Me Sway

Summary: I was bored out of my mind, and there was nothing to do in the church. Unless you count for the radio in the corner. I turned it on, not expecting a slow song to play. Of course, when Johnny extended a hand out towards me, I didn’t think he’d say, “Wanna dance, Pony?”

OR: In which the boys are bored at the church and Ponyboy decides to dance with Johnny. :) AO3 LINK (there's a part 2 bc of the 4096 limit for my tumblr folks, check notes or my blog)

I was bored out of my mind. Maybe running away wasn’t the best idea after all. Johnny and I had run to the church about two days ago. Johnny had gone for supplies, and all was well, but neither of us were in the mood to read Gone with the Wind and there was really nothing that we wanted to do. Unless you account for the radio in the corner. There was really nothing else to do- everything was so still, and though I usually just zone out and let my imagination take me anywhere, I wanted to spend some more time with Johnny. I think he was bored out of his mind too. The black-haired boy was dangling with only his legs holding him up from one of the dusty pews, arms on the floor. I eyed the radio in the corner, suddenly getting up. Johnny looked at me questioningly, and I blushed a little, flustered. I think I stuttered out something about wanting to turn on the radio, and Johnny got up from his awkward position and followed me there. “What song are you gonna play?” He asked, curious. An idea had been in my mind for the past few minutes, and I wanted to test it out. Answering Johnny’s question, albeit flusteredly, I mumbled, “I dunno.” I’m pretty sure I said it quickly, so I have no idea how Johnny heard it. “That’s fine, just turn it on and we’ll see what song plays,” Johnny said. He was cool like that. I grinned up at him crookedly like Two-Bit, “Once I figure out how to turn on this radio.” It was a different brand than the one we had at our house- it was probably newer, with a bunch of fancy knobs and switches. It wasn’t too hard to turn on, though, and eventually, it landed on a slow song. The kind of song that I’ve seen people dance to in movies, all elegant and fancy. You see, I know how to dance- before my parents died, they would dance together in the living room, laughing and smiling at each other. I vividly remember Sodapop bursting into the room and wanting to be a part of the action back then. My mom laughed, smiled at my dad, and took his hand, teaching him. At the time, they were dancing to a slow song- the type of songs where one of the people has to put one hand on the waist and where they spin together slowly. My parents were good dancers, and I think Sodapop was, too. Eventually, Darry and I went to the living room. We used to be a lot more competitive, so when we saw Sodapop dancing with Mom, Darry and I had said we wanted to learn, too. And so we had. I’ll probably never admit it to anyone else, but I really liked it. Maybe I enjoyed the song, or the steps, or maybe it was nostalgic because that was a really nice memory with my parents. Sometimes, when I’m zoned out, I’m imagining that scene or something similar to it. So when Johnny extended a hand out towards me, I didn’t think he’d say, “Wanna dance, Pony?” I don’t know why I stared at his hand like it gave me the world, but I took it anyway, and replied, “Do you know how?” “Not really,” Johnny awkwardly smiled. “But I think you’ve mentioned knowing how once or twice.” Gosh, I had? How many things have I mentioned to Johnny and forgot about? “Well, you’re right about that.” None of us said a word, but I guided Johnny’s hand to my waist and put my arm on top of his. My other hand grasped his other hand, and I held it out a little away from our faces- I’m pretty sure you have to do it farther, but I really didn’t feel like it. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Johnny broke in, slightly grinning, “This comfortable, Pony?” I nodded my head, smiling back. I then realized I would have to explain the footwork, and waited for a beat in the song, before explaining- I basically forgot how to do it, but I can remember the people in the movies doing something similar, so I based any gaps in my memory with their movements. “You basically just step out and together in any direction, and I’ll follow,” I said. “You have to do it constantly- unless you wanna stop or something, then we can.”

Bonus under cut

[pvlvsdog]

how easy or hard is it to make the sinners finish? also are you fine with yandere stuff? I want to ask before requesting. Also if your requests aren’t open then feel free to ignore.

Oh my! I made a whole tier list with a friend^^ just need to pull it up. Over half the credit goes to the skinny dipping ask anon, haiii^^ also I’m all good with yandere stuff. I just might have difficulty with certain characters (base ID for Greg to name one, that might not be very long if I’m asked to write something about him; I’ll still write about him, but there’s not a lot to work with for the yandere theme in my eyes) but I will absolutely write it^^ also you will get bonus characters. Because it’s fun^^

TW: 18+, UNEDITED

Not finishing (sorry!):

Faust - sorry but I don’t think she ever came during sex. You can use toys or she can do the job herself and that works, but that’s it honestly. It’s not that you’re doing something wrong, she’s still choosing to spend time with you in that way, but I just think she would finish from touching herself. After all Faust knows Faust the best

Takes a long while:

Ryoshu - it’s not hard to make her finish but if you rush it, she won’t react well. It’s a whole process, getting to that first orgazm. She likes playing around before it, holding it off until she’s satisfied with the act. Like, she won’t ignore you in favour of her pleasure, she wants the both of you to get the most out of this. Which means neither of you is finishing quick, sorry

Sonya - also not that easy. He’s a chill guy, he doesn’t seem like he would mind. He likes you and it was a decent time either way, so it’s not a big issue if he didn’t come. I just feel like, despite his easygoing demeanour, if anything from the book carries over to the game, he miiight have a hard time letting himself be vulnerable during sexual encounters. Participates still, but it’s not a carefree ordeal and it makes orgasming harder. Can use his hand just fine though and doesn’t consider it a wasted night

Demian - kinda hard. Like, I just feel like it would be hard for him to reach a release, but he’d be damned if he still didn’t try. He’s fairly confident and knows himself well, so he has no problem guiding you a little so both of you can orgasm. With his tips it’s not really hard. Side note, but I feel like the experience you’d get is worth it, come on, in the book he’s such an agent of chaos it’s iconic. Yeah he’s calm. But like, if I asked that man to tie my shoes he could as well run off with my shoelaces to prove some point he made earlier hhh

Last above average:

Verg - kinda hard? Like, it’s easier than with the ones above, but you will have to put some effort into pleasing him. He’s guarded and keeps most at an arm’s length so to have a genuine sexual encounter with you, he needs to trust and know you a bit. I don’t think he would be a 10/10 at communicating so you also wouldn’t have a lot to go off of. It changes with time, the communication part, but he still takes a bit to finish

Ishmael - she takes some time as well. I think she’s pretty experienced and has had many amazing as well as mediocre encounters so given that range, don’t expect to just waltz into her room and make her scream your name upon your touch. Good thing is, she has a good idea about what works, just take her suggestions and you’ll get there (she’ll do to ;3). Other component could be the fact that she often doesn’t feel comfortable letting her guard down and not being in control. So, especially if you’re more dominant, I could see some issues stemming from that early on, because as open as she would be to give things a try, if you’re a more dominant person, it could be difficult for her to work with. Not your fault, just give her some time. In bed and outside of it

Hong Lu - I can’t explain it much, I just think it’s not super easy as well. Again, you won’t have him panting and moaning just from doing the bare minimum, but let our curious man explore, make it worth a while, and he’ll reach an orgasm at his pace

Kromer - takes a bit too. She’s pretty horny with a high sex drive but she likes to have her time with you. Likes that you have you to try a bit before she’ll come too

Standard timing 😌😌:

Dante - i feel like they have a pretty average timing. Perhaps it would be faster but they overthink a bit and it’s all a little bit „new”. They don’t even fully know (or well, remember) what they like so that also plays a role. Again, it’s easier than with the characters above but they don’t come super fast

Yi Sang - also pretty much within what you would expect, you have to get him a bit worked up, it’s not as long of a process as it is with some other sinners, but definitely enough for you two to get a bit creative with the foreplay and such

Meursault - I think we just figured getting him placed in the middle of the tier is just funny considering his demeanour. That man is the standard, the average, the perfect representation of the mean. Sex with him definitely isn’t vanilla, I just think he finishes at a very predictable timing, never having you too worked up but also not rushing it

Hopkins - adding him as a silly bonus, I just think it’s funny he stuck in my brain. He also takes a pretty expected amount of time, he has to have some solid foreplay but it’s not like, really hard for you to get him to finish. Just let him have his fun first

Fairly easy:

Don - if you know where her „weaknesses” lay (and it’s not a difficult thing, she’s pretty obvious, I think. Again, I’m keeping in mind how easily she gave herself away when she was questioned about her feelings on being beaten up in CIII, that woman was stuttering like crazy. So like, just go for whatever flusters her and that’s your cue as to what you should do during sex) it’s a very short road from there to having her orgasm. Being easily excitable seems to seep into that part of her life as well :3

Rodya - she knows herself well and is used to putting herself first (since life taught her that if you don’t, nobody else might. Not so say she isn’t a generous person when she can, but like, it is often something she does for attention or praise in general, I think sex is a bit of a different case) so her objective is to have a good time. It might change as you two grow closer, but for the main part she just uses her own knowledge in what gets her off and works from there. Not saying you don’t have to put any work in on your part, but she will make it very easy. If she wants to have sex with you, at least before you two get closer, it’s so that she can have a release, so that will be her main priority. She’ll be nice to you sure, she knows how to be sweet and charming, even when there’s sweat rolling down her face and her back is arching while she adjusts your hands to grip her just right. But before she’s ready to be vulnerable, the sex is more so to fulfil her needs (coming, feeling important, so on) than to grow closer to you

Outis - my funny explanation is “fast but only if you’re Dante” but my actual reasoning for saying that she would be rather quick to finish is that I think it’s been so long and she’s so pent up that it just makes sense. Like, she’s not about to ask for sex from just anyone, she ignores that need too much. So when she finally has sex with you, oh, she clearly means it and has been wanting to do so for a very long time. All in all, she’s on the brink anyways so getting her off is a very easy task

Gregor - that man is starved and kind of easily… well affected by your actions, let’s say. He has no real experience with being desired by someone so you don’t have to try much to get him worked up. Your honest advances and the way you treat him oftentimes leave him exasperated (he can’t believe over the half of things you’re saying, especially given that he would probably make you aware how his modifications will affect any intimate relationship you might want to have with him), but he’d be lying if he said that whatever you were doing wasn’t working. Like, he’s not surprised he’s into it, he just can’t believe that you would want to make such advances towards him in the first place. Honestly if it wasn’t for his self deprecation and fear of hurting you, he’d be on the bottom tier. But those dark thoughts accompany him even when he’s being intimate (or, well, especially then) so he’s still only somewhat below average. He probably blames it on his stamina (which also could be a factor, he’s not as senile as he makes himself out to be but he certainly does struggle keeping up in bed) and probably mumbles something about being “too old for this” and how “you’re going to end him if you keep doing things like this” (his very roundabout way of saying that you affect him greatly). So, with all that in mind, he doesn’t last very long. The only thing keeping him from coming undone upon your touch is concern for your safety should his body act up because of the strong emotions you cause him to feel

Gotta go fast (sorry):

Heathcliff - not sorry about putting him in this category, only sorry for the joke. I mean, that man is pent up, worked up and so, so oblivious to his own feelings that you won’t be having any troubles with making him come. I mean, for the past few years he dedicated himself to the thought of what could (or in this case - couldn’t) be and his ability to reflect and own up to the fact that you’re making him feel a very specific kind of way is hindered as a result. That man could get a raging boner every time you touch him and he still would hold off on reflecting on his feelings. So when he’s finally in a position to have sex with you, you will have him all worked up in record time. Heaving, panting with drops of sweat rolling down his forehead. He desires you greatly, even if he has a hard (hihi) time admitting that (well, that would mean that his whole… thing was a waste of time and also would call into question if he was ever wanted by the person he’s been chasing this whole time, I mean, he couldn’t imagine having her act towards him in the same way you do. Which… well, he doesn’t love the thought). That and his lack of experience with all things sexual leads him to release around the time you’re trying to get started. He tries to last longer and he won’t leave you hanging if he doesn’t. Well… I can certainly tell you that he won’t. But he’s going to try anyways. Just don’t tease him about it, that might actually work in the opposite way. Or do tease him, if that’s what you’re into ;3

Sinclair - if you two getting heated, you’re already halfway done with making him come. He gets horny easily and fast, but usually (always, prior to meeting you probably) his hand has to do. And in the book he is quite filled with thoughts of pretty sexual nature (that are quite a cause of his shame). But insecurity and guilt play a part here too, making him believe that he doesn’t really deserve to experience nice things like that. So when you’re so close to him, something he fantasizes about quite often, it’s making him overwhelmed in the best, most alien way. All the thoughts that could hold him back are gone and instead he is overcome with lust. Which then leads to a very fast release. Just like Heath, I totally see him worked up, heaving and absolutely coming undone. Buuut with the way he is, I don’t think it’s just him being all shy and cumming cutely just to lay down and stutter out a ‘thank you’. That lad is filled with so much anger issues and unprocessed, strong emotions that what you are more likely to get is an extremely horny, awkward, rough encounter and after you blink he’s done and in the process of folding under the weight of post nut clarity (saying this lovingly, not to be biased as the author of this, but this is absolutely a ‘would’ for me. I just don’t think he’s what you would consider… conventionally “good”. Which is subjective, even if there is a ‘popular version’ of what good sex should look like)
