#but the above makes sense without it

[meguwumibear]

The first time Zayne asks you to his house, you bring him a sprig of jasmine. You pass by the flower shop on your way to his apartment on a whim and are inexplicably drawn to the thin, white petals. The shop owner tells you the plant signifies new beginnings which seemed fitting at the time.

The look on Zayne's face when he sees the jasimine is one of pain. The light in his hazel eyes dulls, and the skin between his brows wrinkles. You resist the urge to smooth the folds away with your thumb.

"Sorry," you say, unsure what to make of his expression. You scramble around the kitchen looking for a trash can. He's rich, so it takes you some time to find it. You open cabinet after cabinet in search of the thing. "Didn't want to show up empty handed."

After some awkward fumbling, you manage to locate the can. It’s hidden to the left of the sink behind the recycling bin. The trash is empty save for the bag which smells lightly of lemons.

"Wait," Zayne replies with some urgency, his usually calm voice the most panicked you've ever heard it. His hand presses your fingers securely around the stems before you can dump the arrangement into the trash. "You just surprised me is all."

You let him slowly guide the flowers away from the maw of the garbage, lips still weighed down by an unknown force.

"Don't overthink it," you tell him, unable to guess at the cause of his sadness. Seems you may have crossed some sort of unspoken boundary in your efforts to appear polite.

"They're lovely," he concedes, forcing a smile onto his face, "but they'll die in a few days."

Is that what's got him so upset?

"Hang them upside down before they begin to whither,” you offer. “They'll hold their shape, and after a few weeks you can stick them in a vase and keep them forever."

His brows knit together contemplatively.

"They'll still be dead," he tells you, wearily eyeing the plant.

You shake your head at him, "No, their form will just have changed."

"I'm not very good at tending to plants," he insists.

You shrug at him, busying yourself with finding a vessel for the jasmine.

"Lucky you have me then. I can help you string them up when you're ready to."

He lets you fill a glass with water and plop the jasmine into its new home.

Zayne doesn't say anything for a while. He just stands there, statue still, like he’s an android with stalled programming. His eyes remain fixed on the white petals of the plant, almost accusingly. It feels inappropriate to move for some reason, so you fuss with the placement of the stems, waiting for him to take the reins.

"I was thinking," he eventually starts, gaze still stuck on the jasmine, "that I'd like to dom for you exclusively. As previously stated, I believe we are compatible and that I can provide you with the subbing experience you need."

"Oh," you reply, cheeks heating. You chance a sideways glance at him, but his sights haven’t changed. "Yeah, I'd like that. I haven't seen anyone else since we started our sessions anyway."

"It's settled then," he agrees, eyes finally flicking to you. “Moving forward you’ll come to me when you need something.”

“And you’ll come to me when you do,” you add.

He looks at you funny, but doesn’t argue.

“How do you feel about shower sex?” he asks suddenly, as his mind visibly reconnects with his body. He turns toward you, awaiting your reply.

You flash him a cheeky grin, “Lead the way.”

krakoa cherik constantly having sleepovers at each others houses

they never slept alone since day one ☝️ (until the divorce)

Im so sorry this was my immediate first thought

[waterfallofspace]

is anyone else with this kink not into nose blowing, either actively turns you off or just kinda neutral on it, willing to put up with it in situations where you have to (like a wav or someone inducing for you, it's gonna happen so it's whatever)—

but if it's outside of wavs/active inducing, just naturally in the wild, from someone you find attractive (in whatever way, platonic, romantic, fully just snz-focused) you can kinda find yourself getting a bit 👀👀 about it, just purely because oh? your nose is bothering you, is it?

even though the noise itself still does nothing, or even makes you uncomfortable, the connotations... 🔥

Fugo and Abbacchio friendship is so important to me. They're both bitches and they bond over that. The bickering is enrichment.

Now why the fuck did Soohyun agree to pretend to date Jaemin? Or did he agree to that and then he and Da On had their little relationship that Jaemin ruined. I am confused about the timeline of it all

Pokemon Black

My first pokemon game! Lovely and beautiful gym puzzles, silly plot that was nevertheless good at pushing you towards your next location (and organically leading you back to newly opened spots in old locations), so much stuff to do even years after everyone's stopped playing, and awesome execution when introducing new features. The grass shaking? Scared the shit out of me. The music mechanics? Incredible. The battle subway station? Awesome. Here's how it feels to cross Sky Arrow Bridge in 2025

With that said, your rivals suck, Cheren's having an annoying shounen boy revelation about what it means to be strong at the most inappropriate time (we're talking about pokemon dogfighting, can you please read the room no one cares), and goooooddd what was UP with the immediate post-game difficulty leap? Everyone is 15 levels stronger than you and they're all blocking the good grinding spots. Zapped my interest in the game, sadly.

All in all a great intro to the series!

Quick question do you see Asgore as Undynes actual adoptive father or more as a mentor whom she views as a father-like figure?

More mentor figure than actually adopted but I like seeing him adopt her too. My personal view is that it turned from him trying to redirect her passion into being a teacher to her, to being a mentor and the into her boss, and now she's overly familiar with him because of just how long she's known him. He'd be more like an adult she could trust and if it was familial neither would realize or verbalize it. If asgore realized he saw her as a daughter I think asgore would still be too distraught over his past family that he would feel like he's projecting if he asks her and if she realized she saw him as a dad I don't think she would ask either because she also wouldn't want to encroach on that. She'd never call him 'dad' because she doesnt think of him that way but she would still get teased by the other royal guards saying he is because of just how close she is with him. And she would also be seen as the unofficial 'heir' by most other monsters because next to gerson she's the closest to him and has directly trained under him for years. So she still gets that royal heir pressure without actually being his daughter.

I like the idea of him meeting her when she's a little girl (if being attacked out of the blue count as a meeting) and then From there she ends up making him spend alot of time with her for 'training' which eventually turns into him sharing tea with her and her inviting herself over to the castle frequently to yap about her problems. Stray child 'adopts' local lonely king. Mainly she would bug him immensely about gerson and the war. I like to think little undyne would have been very similar to susie so her friendship with asgore is more akin to susie's dynamic with toriel. Could be familial if you want it to be but more of a stray kid finding an adult who actually cares about them and wants to see them do better.

i wonder if teru's gullible. i mean he seems to know that claw is bad news, but claw seems pretty straight forward about being evil. he also believed pretty quickly that reigen is claw's boss and psychic. or maybe he just goes with anything that aligns itself with his perception of the world.

Thinking about Nancy's tendency to frequently lie, terribly, and the idea of autistic masking as constant social pressure to lie about yourself. The idea of her conceptualizing interactions with others as a kind of performance with few internal differences between outright lying and being social.

sorry about that last rambling post, i didnt mean to sound like its worse than it may be, but i got no ... lense to view it through but my own, and the main reason i wrote it out anyway was bc i needed to get it out (even if posting it might be not the greatest idea) .. and bc it kinda showcases, i think, how my stories kinda write themselves, involuntarily in a way? its not like im not putting in any effort- but its like .. i cant STOP it always keeps going and even the dumbest idea stays in some form, its very hard to get everything in place bc theres so much going on all the while i am very slow at making anything, writing or drawing anything, especially anythign coherent is very hard bc not only do i get constantly distracted, i get distracted by my own thoughts suddendly skipping to a certain scene and me having to go throguh imagining in detail NO MATTER how many times i have done it before for the same scene that i already decided on how it goes, when theres a new idea it can take over my entire day bc i cant let go of it-

not trying to sound either like im the only that has that sort of problem, but i think its a big part as of why i start tso many projects without being able to finish them, or even start them bc i constantly have to fight my own thoughts from derailing into another daydream session, thinking of too much too fast than i can ever draw or even write about and not knowing what is worthwhile and what isnt (im telling you i have no idea what is good and what isnt, idk why but for all i know all things i do could be trash, or they all could be bad, maybe the one i thinnk is decent is actually worse than the things i deem not good enough and once i start to think no this isnt good enough i stop having fun making or thinking it bc im trying to do better

honestly its kind of impressive that i can get anything out at all, not to pat myself on the back there but even if i hate how long it takes me, considering how much im having to work just to start working on something at all, the fact that i could post stuff coherent enough for some people to understand AND LIKE is something i should be a little more proud of

does it count as jealousy if you fully trust your partner but simply feel annoyed when others make moves on them? despite her fear of abandonment, chiyo doesn't really fear losing her partner unless it's her fault. she would never think for a moment that their eyes might stray from her; once they have her trust, they have it completely. but i'll admit it gets under her skin a lil when others flirt with them :' )

maybe possessive would be a better word for her than jealous? hm

i think what's really getting me about kozma claiming to have blown up the moon and also claiming to "be" the breach and basically equating "breach collaborators" and "my allies" in the same speech is that. the breach operative we've known since season one, the person who "is" the breach as far the story's concerned, is saskia. and midst is saskia's HOME! she built the black candle with her own two hands (metaphorically, at the very least), she LOVES it there and she loves those people :( and if we take kozma's story at face value, she just threw the "centerpoint" (according to imelda) of her own operation entirely under the bus and endangered the lives not only of innocent people but also of a bunch of her own operatives without their knowledge just to destabilize the trust and frankly that makes me kind of hope she IS telling the truth simply because that's the kind of betrayal i find absolutely delicious,
