୨୧ thru ur phone.
Tumblr media
connie leaves his phone unattended.
❥ warnings : cheating, threats, intended useage of lowercase, fem blk coded reader
❥ cookie for ur thoughts ? : sorry guys was in an angsty mood so i wrote an angsty drabble </3 but i am considering writing a follow up to this !
Tumblr media
“the fuck is this connie ?”
he stares at his game, the lighting from the screen highlighting the contortion of his face.
“what’cha on about..” he says dazed, groaning as he gets killed again.
you throw his phone on top of his desk harshly, the device landing face up. he jumps at the unexpected, loud noise, his eyes finally cutting away from the screen and to you with a squint.
“what the fuck ? i’m in the middle of s’mthin’ ‘nd you throwin’ shit in my face,” he says with a huff, unaware of what almost hit him.
“ion give a fuck about your dumb fucking game ! who the fuck is that and why is she texting you about how she misses you in her fucking bed constance,” you shout at him, your hands fidgeting in annoyance.
his face drops at that statement, suddenly sitting up straight and realising that it was his phone that you were holding.
he snatches it up quickly, scrolling through all the notifications.
“the fuck you going through my shit for y/n—” he says annoyed, looking up at you with a scowl.
“don’t play that card with me right now, i’m so close to beating the living shit outta your ass !” you yell, the fidgeting turning into mild pacing.
he watches you move up and down with narrowed eyes, the words on his tongue struggling to find an exit. “it’s nobody, stop stressin’ over it.”
“ ‘nobody’ my fucking ass constance ! you think ‘cus you named the bitch ‘work’ in yo’ phone means i’m fuckin’ dumb ?” you snap at him, standing in one place.
he stands up out of his gaming chair, attempting to cross the room to you.
“don’t fuckin’ come near me connie. i swear to god, i will put hands on your scumbag ass—” you spew, taking steps backwards.
“y/n talk to me, we can talk about this,” he tries, his hands reaching for you.
you scoff. “fuck tha’ and fuck you. get your shit and fuckin’ go.”
he looks taken aback, not expecting those words out of your mouth. “huh ?”
“i’m not fucking repeating myself, find somewhere else to be ‘cus i do not want to see your fucking face right now,” you say firmly, watching him.
his eyes scan over you in mild disbelief. he tries to step towards you again and you step back, your mindset clear and decided. he stops and looks around for a brief moment before disappearing into your shared bedroom.
you exhale a shaky breath and the tears, that you didn’t know you were holding, start falling. you hold your mouth to silence the sounds of your cries, opting to move into the living room and sit on the couch as they continue to slide down your face.
you try to slow your heart rate and your breathing, desperate to keep your composure so that when he walks into the room you can keep your head held high.
you’re texting your best friend, informing her of the situation when connie appears in front of you from a distance, holding a duffle bag with a few random items in it and his shoes.
“i- i’m sorry y/n, i am,” he mumbles, rocking back and forth on his feet like a child.
“sorry isn’t fucking good enough,” you reply.
he opens his mouth to say something but decides not to, choosing to put his shoes on and unlock the front door.
he turns to look at you before leaving, the chain rattling as the door shuts.
when you feel confident enough that he’s out of range you start sobbing, the tears flowing consistently.
there’s nothing you can do but let the heartbreak consume you, ignoring the sound of his car racing down the street.

Dom Daddy Day Care
Tumblr media
I knew ‘her’ secret. The sneaking around, the shredded credit card statements and then finding all the slutty clothes.
At first I thought I was being cheated on, but when I discovered the truth, a part of me felt relieved and then angry. Was I jealous that my sissy husband looked better than me? Walked in heels with more elegance? Even dressed in sexier clothes? I wasn’t worth spending the money on it seemed…..so I decided to turn this situation into something a little more interesting.
The internet search history was illuminating. Now I knew what my husband liked, I would make his dirty fantasy a reality. The chastity device and the butt plugs were fitted….a little rougher than I should have done probably….but the cunt liked it and as I was going on holiday to get over it all, I had to ensure he was cared for.
Fortunately, the sites he frequented led to the various people he was messaging online. One such ‘Daddy Dom’ was close by and I explained the current state of play. Needless to say, within hours, my sissy was being loaded into a travel trunk and would be well looked after. His wretched expression and gurgled grunts were priceless as I informed him of my plans….
I told his new owner that I would visit on occasion, but he was free to ‘loan’ sissy out to the highest bidder. My income was assured and the ignominy of having this thing in my house was over.

They were worried that they too had fallen to the same fate and were unable to change course, but when the day of materialization finally came, they successfully materialized. The Doctor realized that the TARDIS had stopped all the clocks out of respect for her fallen fellow TARDIS. Even after nine weeks of travel, they materialized nowhere close to Geshtinanna.

😡#@! Who is scared of you and why?😰
Honestly, I'm pretty curious to see what the piles hold. Any energy could come through. Professional, romantic, friends/family, etc. 😬
Lets find out! Piles are left to right! (idk why it's so small sorry)
Tumblr media
HOPE IT RESONATES. PAY ATTN TO YOUR INTUITION AND HOW THE MESSAGES RESONATE FOR YOU PERSONALLY!!
Pile 1
4 card spread: 6 of wands, 5 of cups, 10 of wands, 5 of swords. BOTD: 8 of swords
Damn Pile 1. Remind me not to mess with you... For some of you, this is a person that perceives you as playing dirty. So you could have "one against them in some "won," in some way. Some examples that are immediately coming to mind would beating a romantic rival or winning some kind of sports tournament.
For others, this could have to deal with the legal system. For the Urban Tarot Deck, the 10 of wands is represented as a man in jail. So this person could be in trouble with the legal system or some kind of institution or authority. For some reason, I do not think you are talking, but maybe its because you can't? Like if they are overseas and its hard to get reliable service, if they are in jail and have limited access to a device, or you have decided to stop speaking. Some of you could be testifying against this person or you could be breaking up/divorcing.
So I used my Bold Perceptions deck and asked how you perceive this person. These are the cards that came out, make of them what you will: "How would you describe or label your style?"// "If you could bring back one fashion from throughout history, which would it be?" (Pile 1, is their fashion sense kinda unique??) If you could see a statistic or number floating above people's heads like in a video game, what would you most want to see and why? (could be a gamer, or someone who you wish you could read better) "What do you think the opposite sex notices about you first?" // "What do you notice first about the opposite sex?" (there could be mutual attraction, one or both of you could be jealous about the attention the other receives)
Why??
Oop! Okay, I see now. I think this person is afraid of you spilling the beans. Interesting that I got a message about the legal system. This does not have to necessarily pertain to the law though. I am also seeing that if you are part of an affair, they could be scared you are going to move on, or that you could expose them.
For some of you this person is scared that you are pregnant. Or there could be something to do with hiding a pregnancy. Some of you it is not that dramatic. This person could be too intimidated to approach you and get communication going again. This will be especially true for situations where you cut this person off over cheating or something. They are trying to keep you from leaving.
There are also a lot of pentacles out. The only cup card is the knight of cups, which is on the bottom of the deck after I pulled clarifiers. So this person could be really focused on stability. Whatever they are scared about ties into their stability and keeping things "under wraps", is what I am specifically hear. But what if you don't want to hear them out?
TL;DR: This is someone that is known to you, but you probably aren't speaking often. There could be an issue with the legal system, a break up, divorce, or secret being exposed. This person could be attractive and have a unique sense of style. You could wish you were able to read their mind. They are scared of you because they do not want to lose their stability or you. They are scared to reach out and get rejected but they are trying to keep everything together.
Pile 2
4 card spread: 6 of swords, 8 of swords, King of Cups, Temperance. BOTD: 10 of swords
This could be family for some of you. A masculine or male figure in your family, so a brother, dad, husband, etc. Or possibly a woman who is more masculine, but I do think for most it is an actual man. I don't think you are in contact with this person. They could have experienced an ending recently or they are under an extreme amount of stress. For some of you, this person could be depressed or struggling with something else mental health related.
There is a sense of trying to find balance with the 6 of swords and temperance. They could also have relocated. I am getting some workaholic vibes. This is starting to remind me of Pile 1... They feel like they lost something and I am getting a lot of "she left and took the kids," type of vibe. Regardless, they certainly feel alone and regretful. For some of you this person has experienced an actual loss and they are trying to find balance again after that.
I used my Bold Perceptions deck and asked how you perceive this person. These are the cards that came out, make of them what you will: "What do you think your best physical feature is?" // "What you think my best physical feature is?" (you and this person may share certain features or look alike or have feature that the other likes) "If you had to rename me, what name would suit me best?" // "What is the worst nickname you can think of for me?" (do they have a cringe nickname? or maybe you call them something else behind their back, like captain poop face lol) "Who would you invite if you threw a party and could bring any three celebrities?" // "What three would least want to come?" (you could perceive this person as being cool, uncool, or well-connected)
Why??
Some of you could be really spicy. Maybe you cussed this person out. If you cut them off they are scared this is a permanent decision. For some of you, they could be scared that you will explore other options. Like maybe you will entire your selfish era and just go where ever your heart tells you. Maybe they pushed you too far this time.
This person could have tried to sell you a dream and you are realizing you can do bad all by yourself. You could be very content on your own, investing in yourself, going out, having a good time. If you aren't in that energy already, they are afraid that you are headed there. For whatever reason, this scares them.
TL;DR: This is a masculine energy, could be a family member for some of you. For example, a brother, husband, or father. They can be someone who is struggling mentally/emotionally right now. They could tend to overwork themselves. You may have left this person. I don't think you have much respect for them anymore. They are scared of you being happier single and realizing that you do not need them. They are scared they have lost you for good. If you haven't entered this energy yet, they are terrified that you will.
Pile 3
**this energy was by far, the most difficult to tap into today!! Some of you might resonate with Pile 2, because I keep mixing them up.
4 card spread: Death, The Tower, Queen of Cups, Ace of Pentacles. BOTD: 5 of wands
So this pile does not have any strong romantic energies like the last pile, but take it however it resonates. I feel more of a friendship that might have gone sour. This could be someone that you fight with or have fought with in the past. They could be a person that is argumentative. You could be the complete opposite of them; Softer, more feminine, gentle... This person could gossip a lot. They could get a lot of attention from suitors but none of the relationships are particularly meaningful or long-lasting. They could like to compete for attention.
Wow, I would not expect a person with this energy to be scared of anyone. But I guess the loudest people are sometimes overcompensating. This could be family or someone you are very close to. They could be used to having control over you or your life in some way. This could be someone that is sad to see you leaving. I think life has definitely started to guide you to different paths.
I don't think you like this person. They could be an asshole fr! The king of swords just came out and that is my "asshole" card. Someone that is pretty selfish. They could also be a liar and harsh with their words. They could be emotionless. You could really dislike them right now. You probably want your space and to learn how to be okay on your own.
Next, I'm pulling from my Bold Perceptions deck. We are asking how you perceive this person. These are the cards that came out, make of them what you will: "In what ways do you think social media has changed dating" // "If you could be in a one-sided open relationship would you?" (this person could be some who cheats, or flirts a lot online. You know, the type of person that stays in people's likes & DMs. You could have met online. They could have tried to play you in some way) "Which emojis remind you the most of me?" // "What are your pet peeves, and what do you think mine are?" (you could text a lot, maybe never went past the talking phase, you could have been roommates) "Ask a Bold question that you have always wanted to." (is there something you want to know about them, or is this someone who you are waiting on to ask you out?)
Why??
They could worry that you are going to find something on their phone. Maybe you already have found out they are flirting with people online or maybe following pages or consuming media you aren't okay with. You could be really defensive toward this person right now. They are scared of your words.
They don't want to lose you. They may have always pictured their future with you in it. They don't want you to make any rash decisions. This person is scared of what happens if you do not accept their apology or offer. They don't want to "start all over," that probably means something different for each situation. But with the 7 of cups being clarified by the 2 of wands and 6 of cups, I think they would rather smooth things over with you. But they are aware it is possible they may have to move on.
TL;DR: Very tough energy to read so maybe this person does not show much emotion. This could be someone you consider an asshole. They could be a big flirt and could use social media to meet people. That could even be how you met. Or this could be the traits of a female friend you fell out with. This person could also be a gossip. They are scared of losing you. They are scared of having to start over if you do not forgive them or accept an offer.
I am trying to stay consistent with posting at least once a week. Kept this one a little shorter cause I have hella assignments 😬🥴
The next reading will be any one of the polls that are left from the poll. What will it be? Mwahaha
👛Tips are muy appreciated.
Ttys 😎😘

Enemies/Hater #3 for Kunigami?
I know that man has a monster sized dick
AYO THIS COMBINATION IS DANGEROUS, you are playing with fire here, anon!!!
warnings/summary: smut obviously, Our hero looses his v-card~!, bullying, and fluff, also a lil confession scene, and you and Kunigami are huge dorks, also I'm putting one of my kinks in there (find out what it is!), and Oliver slander (I love him but I don't like his cheater-nature, so imma use it as a plot device)
again, this will be as vanilla as possible. or not.
word count: 5.1 k words oh man...✌💀😭
taglist: @kyuzra, @ann-teige, @loser-vxbez
---
Tea-kettle.
your father always called people who took too long in the traffic with their cars to drive around tea-kettles. When people acted like dumb children, when people got on his nerves...tea-kettle.
Simple, but sophisticated.
And, well, you took after your father.
You just had the biggest luck of having no other male than Kunigami as your new roommate for the new semester, and for the most part, it was nice with him.
Well, except for the part that his clothes were basically everywhere, and even in places they shouldn't be, for example worn and sweaty and stinky socks the kitchen?
But that was not the only ick he had. He was way too calm and tried to mansplain you over and over again with stuff you'd do with your girl-math.
And that would always lead to arguments. I mean, who cares if the coupon expired, the staff would close an eye on a sweet thing like you and done was the thing, so why did the orange haired guy have to mind your business?
"Jeez, can't you let me be for once?"
"You're not doing it right. The coupon has expired-"
"Why can't you mind your own business?", you'd say in an annoyed tone, with the male looking down at you, confused and also slightly irritated.
"Because it's not fair for the workers-"
"They were still ready to accept it, dude. I even told them before you came back with your pack of 'protein' chocolate bars."
And then he'd look to the side with a frown and a cute pout.
And, well, you've grown to hate him a bit because of that. When he was gone for practise or afternoon school, the apartment would be silent and pleasant, with you being able to clean up everything and even cook something nice as he'd come home.
But, as soon as he'd come in, he'd ask stupid questions like; "How much kcal does a portion of your food have?", "Is it oily?", "You cooked too much."
Ugh! Can't he let you be for once? You also don't ask him about everything!
"Stop asking me those questions, and just eat what I cook!", You'd exclaim in an annoyed tone, already irritated by the mere smell of his sweat (caramel*cough*Bakugo*cough*), and you'd huff.
And then, Kunigami Rensuke would have the audacity to ask you why you behaved like that, because he was just asking normal questions and he liked keeping a diet.
...yeah, would be hard for somebody who wasn't japanese and only knew how to cook cultural and traditional home-food.
and it is tiring. Having the same arguments over and over again.
And thus, you gave Kunigami the name "tea-kettle", leaving him dumbfounded at the nickname insult. whenever he asked you what you meant by that, you'd just huff and tell him that you were busy with somehting.
But, that was not the only thing that made you irritated and angry the whole time.
You had just broken up with your boyfriend Oiver, having him caught cheating on you with a blonde bitch who couldn't even hold a candle next to you.
And you were horny.
More than the average human.
So...you ordered a few dildos...which were pretty big.
...
Kunigami thought you were cute, but weird. Easily frustrated and pretty irritable. you were a feisty woman.
He didn't know why you'd always snap at him when he'd ask you simple questions. He always apologizes when you scold him for forgetting to do something or doing something wrong.
He doesn't know why you are like this. Even though you're a great roommate who loves a clean home and can cook, he doesn't like your attitude.
Not a single bit.
...okay, maybe a little. But most of the time, it irritates him as well. He's just glad that he could have a silent night because you were not a night owl...until you became one.
And he also had to listen to the noises you made...making him blush, and also move his member into a stiff position.
Kunigami had trouble deciphering your personality. He had trouble getting smart from your 'girl-math'?? and why you always yelled at him with his clothes.
He can't be blamed when they fly all over the place, he also forgets where he placed his belongings, but now he's the one irritated.
Now, since a month, he has to listen to you going dumb over fucking a dildo, having to listen to your moans, whimpers and gasps while you pump it in and outside of you.
and it was also you who said a month earlier that you didn't like dicks.
That you despised them. That they looked weird.
You said that dicks were disappointing.
But why were you riding one then? Did something happen for you to change your mindset?
...
It was a late afternoon when you came home to the apartment just like you left it, which meant that Kunigami wasn't home yet. Perfect.
You quickly went into your room, taking off your bottoms and then taking out the dildo you purchased just recently. It was bigger than the ones you were using previously, and you could also stick it to the ground or wall to ride it.
and just as you were done putting it into your awaiting vagina, Kunigami stepped in to your room. He leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed, staring at you with a serious expression and a small blush as you tried to cover yourself in a haste while you yelled profanities at him.
you were embarassed to be seen like that, having a big cock inside you, and being caught by your crush roommate doing something explicit like that. But...it turned you on. you were an exhibitionist at heart, and getting caught in such a position, with your legs spread to have him see your pussy and thr orange dildo inside it...it made you wet.
"You said that dicks were dissappointing, so what is that?", he mused and took in your form. Your brows were furrowed, face red...from embarassent or pleasure? you were panting like a bitch in heat, and he also caught sight of the large silicone cock you had buried deep inside you.
"Not your dick, that much is clear!", you snapped back. you wanted to yell at him to leave the room. To blackmail him. but...you also wanted to see where this was going. He didn't look disgusted with you being horny. He didn't look disappointed...more...amused?..maybe also aroused?
He huffed in amusement before sitting himself down on your desk chair manspreading, making you ogle at his hard-on, which was way larger than the one you had inside of you. He nodded his head to your direction, smirking.
"C'mon, tell me. Why should my dick be disappointing?", Kunigami asked and slowly took his hands from his thighs up to his zipper. You gulped as you watched him like a hawk.
"hmpf! B-because you probably have a small di-", and gone was your voice when Kunigami took it out. too heavy to stand upright was the seven inch penis he held in his pants, thicker than a soda can, and veiny was it too.
Kunigami bit his lip as he blushed from your wide eyes. Kunigami had no idea what the fuck he was doing. Not a single idea.
He was the biggest virgin after all, but he knew from his friends that he had a rather large cock. However, you were the first one to actually see it. The first female, to be precise.
and, well, since you were a girl and also somehow his crush, Kunigami felt his ego and pride increasing every passing second your eyes lingered on his dick.
"Do I have a small dick, ____?", came out in a soft, deep tone. You took a shaky breath before closing your eyes and shaking your head no.
You were salivating, in your mouth and your pussy. His cock was glorious. it even looked big in his hands, which were also pretty big to begin with. you gulped down your saliva before you tore your eyes up to his face. "N-no...", you choked. You forgot about the cock which rested inside your pussy and just thought about his, your eyes widening and gasping when he drove his thumb over the head.
It looked amazing, just that single movement, with him rubbing his thumb around the tip of his head. "hnn...mm...", he whimpered and moaned as he slowly started to masturbate.
"Th-then why...of fuck...why do you hate me?", he gritted through his teeth when he applied pressure while rubbing himself. your eyes widened and you blushed even more.
You raised yourself to walk over to him and emphasize that you indeed didn't hate him anymore, but you forgot that you had somehting inside you, and you gasped when you felt the dildo drag his thickness along your walls.
Kunigami saw it. the way the dildo raised itself a bit while you were trying to stand up from your seat, how wet it was...he moved his hand up and down his dick once with force, and flinched with a whimper.
"ahh...I-I don't hate you...!", you moaned when you sat back down. But you raised yourself right again. If Kunigami made himself feel good, why shouldn't you?
"Oh yeah? ...th-then why are you a-*hiss*-always yelling??", he groaned when he saw you slowly riding the dildo. your boobs were jiggling with every rise and fall you did, and he also couldn't ignore the slapping sound which erupted softly. He gulped and sighed shakily as he flicked his wrist around his cock.
"mmh, because you never do what I tell you!...ah..hah...Your c-clothes are always thrown somewhere...oh...a-and you always forget to do stuff!", you exclaimed, speeding up your thrusts on the cock.
Kunigami hissed in pleasure when he pressed down on his dick head. His dick twitched painfully at the way you were assaulting the dildo. he was jealous that he wasn't inside you. He bit his lip, glaring at the orange dick.
"why is it orange??", he asked after he stopped jerking off for a moment. you somehow blushed even more. "...i...um...", you spoky shyly, looking at the ground in front of you.
And, well, he took it as a chance to stand up and walk over to youpushing you onto your back harshly. You gasped when his rough hands touched your soft body, and he hovered over you with a smirk, sitting on his parted knees and toes, your legs on his thighs as he brought his hand up and down his dick while the other one took hold of the dildo inside you.
"does it...remind you of me?", he asked softly, quietly, as he slowly took out the dildo. you held in your breath, not daring to say anything. you were embarassed, laying on your back with your legs over his and seeing him so...seductively...majestically...on his knees as he looks down on you.
Suddenly, you were filled up to the brim, knocking the air out of your lungs. Kunigami pressed the plastic cock into you with force, and you choked on your own breath.
"Come on, ____...answer me.", he says in a deep tone, and you could hear a hint of irritation but moreso desire in it. You averted your eyes shyly.
"yes...", you breathed out and looked at him. you felt bare, with no bottoms and you also decided to wear a low-cut, tight shirt with no bra. you had cute thigh highs though.
And Kunigami...well, like I said...he looked majestic, with his tight shirt, having sweated a little into it, making his abs and pecs more defined, along with his pants nearly getting torn open as they tried holding his muscular and flexed thighs covered. and then there where his arms, one being directed to your frame while the other held his member.
and...his eyes...his face...he looked so handsome...like a prince, or king...he was your hero.
He huffed in amusement before leaning more and more down, until he was hovering over your torso. his hands were now planted on either side of your head as you looked at him with wide eyes, feeling his hot, big dick against your stomach and the dildo inside you get sucked in by your pussy.
you gulped when he took a strand of your hair and kissed it. "Listen, ____...I'd...like to do it with you.", he spoke gently, softly, only for you to hear as he gazed at you through his lashes. he had a small blush on, even though he was literally jerking off to you in front of you a few moments ago.
your face heated up. you were surprised he even wanted to have to do anything with you. but, you should've seen it coming when he didn't call you disgusting and took his cock out instead.
"why?", you asked, feeling shy and vulnerable underneath him. His gaze on you was intense and you couldn't help but look away in embarassment.
Kunigami carefully put one of his large hands on your cheek and slowly directed your face to look at him. "Because...even though you have an attitude with me, you're actually a pretty sweet person...I mean", he spoke and took one of your hands and softly tracing his thumb on the back of it, "you clean up the apartment...you cook nice meals...and you're also a pretty chill roommate, although we often get into arguments."
you huffed in embarassment. "how dare you confess to me while I have a dick inside me and yours is hanging out?!"
Kunigami blushed as well. "I-I want to do it with you! And you asked me why! So I answered!"
there was a moment of silence as you two stared at each other, completely flustered. Then you brought your hands up to his face. he blushed once more. you frowned at him with red cheeks.
"then...l-let's do it...", you whispered before you kissed him. His eyes widened when your lips connected with his. Rensuke's eyes fluttered to a close as they rolled back and he kissed you back passionately.
you moaned against his lips when he parted the first kiss and opened his mouth, making out with you. his tongue rubbed and danced against yours, and you could taste some of the leftover soup he must've eaten which you prepared earlier.
While he was getting lost in the feeling of your mouths clashing against one another and your sweet moans, one of his hands started to wander as the other one held himself up above you. the one which wasn't holding himself upwards caressed your side, then went up to gently squeeze one of your bra-less tits, groaning against your lips when he felt the soft flesh spill out between the palms of his hands.
he kissed your nose before trailing his kisses south. his lips made contact with your jaw, then three kisses down your throat and neck, a few smacks against your pretty collarbone until he neared your boob.
your legs were wrapped around his hips and your arms around his neck. you were letting soft sighs and moans escape you when he did his ministrations.
it was silent. no words spoken as you let him do as he pleased with your body, and you were pleasantly surprised when he didn't start fucking you like you were some kind of whore, like Oliver did.
No. He treated you like his lover. Like his wife.
You sighed shakily. And then he stopped.
"Kuni-" "Rensuke.", he interrupted you, looking at you with fond eyes.
"...Rensuke...", you started then, in a trance as you looked at the handsome male above you. "why...why did you stop?"
He looked to the side sheepishly, a blush coating his cheekbones. "D-do you maybe have ...a-a condom? Don't wanna risk it...", he said quietly, shyly as he swallowed the lump of saliva.
You nodded then. 'of course! gosh, I'm so stupid!', you thought as you rolled to the side to take something from the drawer on the night stand. A pack of XXL (does that even exist?) condoms.
His eyes widened when you gave him a single pack while you took a few more with a red face. then you quickly tucked the rest away. "w-why...do you have a pack of condoms?", he asked. Last time he remembered, you told him you were single, so why...?
"I had a boyfriend named Oliver, but he cheated on me...", you mumbled as you laid there on your stomach, showing him your body from behind and even though Kunigami felt bad for you, he bit his lip when he saw your juicy ass and thighs.
"How dare he...!?", Rensuke seethed instead and ripped off the pack. your shoulder flinched as you listened to the sound of him taking out the lubed condom and hissing as he slowly put it over his dick.
"are you okay?", you asked softly over your shoulder, glancing at him. then you turned around completely with an angry face.
"WHAT THE HELL!?!", you yelled when he took off his clothes, which...landed all over the place...again...in a random room though.
He rolled his eyes playfully. "I'll pick 'em up later, sweetheart", he grumbled under his breath as you turned around on your stomach again and huffed in annoyance. However, you weren't prepared when you felt your ankles get grabbed and you yelped when you got pulled backwards.
your lower half was out from the bed, with your knees and feet on the ground, your hips at the edge and your upper body on the bed. you turned around again and glared at him. "what was that f-mmh!"
ye, he shut you up by kissing you. his hand held your throat as he made you look to the side and he kissed you passionately, pulling at your nipple with the other hand before releasing it and trailing his hand lower to play with your clit a little. He couldn't find it and massaged your pussy lips instead. but it also felt nice.
You moaned against his mouth when he finally found the nub though, and assaulted it by rubbing his thumb up and down on it, while applying pressure. His hand on your neck tightened, and the dildo you still head inside you got squeezed by your walls.
you panted and whimpered against his lips. He leaned his head back to look at you. He smiled while panting as well, and only now did you feel his dick rub against your butt. "does...can...could he make you feel like this?", he whispered and kissed your cheek.
you keened at his words and sighed. "No. n-never- ah!", you yelped and your back arched when he took off your dildo from you. You felt empty and whined at the loss. he chuckled as he looked at the slick-covered cock.
"My turn."
You blushed heavily at that.
He then placed the dildo on your bed, right in front of you, as he aligned his cock to your entrance. your toes curled inside your highs as you glanced behind you with a nervousness you didn't even feel when Oliver fucked you.
"d-do you think it'll fit?"
Kunigami looked up with a parted mouth before smiling fondly at you. "...I'll make it fit."
You "eep!"ed. how could he say something like that?!
"w-wait, have you had sex before???"
"Nope, but I hope you'll let me practise."
Your mouth stood open as you stared at him in disbelief and he chuckled nervously. "J-just relax-"
"THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY!", you yelled in fear and gripped the bedsheets tightly. Kunigami scoffed. "C'mon, I'm sure your ex had a big cock as well, no?"
"Not as big as yours...!", you retorted with an annoyed pout but you flinched when you felt the head of his penis press against your pussy. even though your legs where spread, you could feel him touch your pussy and your inner thighs, that's how big he was.
you started to have second thoughts. "H-how ab- AHH!", you yelled, when he pressed his head inside. you two took a minute to regain your breaths. you were surprised that it didn't sting as much as you thought, but it still hurt, but you liked it, somehow.
and Kunigami was having his face directed to the ceiling as his mouth stood open in a gasp. He didn't know that your pussy was so tight, even after you've been having that huge ass dildo inside of you. how was that even possible?
"S-...sorry, sweetheart! I-I...fuck...I c-couldn't help--ohhh...myself!", he exclaimed as he felt your pussy pulse around his head. he tried not to thrust into you or fall unconscious from the amount of pleasure he got. You were mewling on the bed.
It just felt so good, even if it pained you very much. "Please...wait a lil more...", you asked, but Kunigami wanted to keep going. He then called you the nickname you used as an insult on him.
"You're such a tea-kettle, y'know that?", he groaned as he leaned onto you from behind and right into your ear and stroked your thighs, ass, back and sides with his large, warm hands. you squirmed in embarassment and pleasure.
"w-what's that s'posed ta mean!?", you asked right afterwards but gasped when his fingers played with your nipples. "How about you fix your attitude 'round me, love?", he asked in a whisper instead before he kissed the back of your shoulder with closed eyes.
You hated him. More than you ever could. How dare he speak to you like that, hah?!? Makes you regret your life choices by pushing his dick inside of you and then having the fucking audacity to tell you to "fix your attitude"??? And also how dare he make you feel so special? Asking you for consent before he did something like putting his dick inside of you and then also respecting you for wanting to wait a bit to adjust?
What the fuck?
With Oliver it just went straight to fucking, but with Kuni- ahem, Rensuke...it was more like...making love.
you had to watch your tone around Kunigami. He was a good guy. you blushed and after a while, you put your right arm up to scratch his head.
"y-you can move now...", you muttered shyly and prepared to get knocked out with a single thrust from him, but you were met with a Ransuke who massaged your hips in order to distract you from the oncoming pain as he pushed his dick more into you with a tempo which was slower than a snail.
It nearly didn't hurt at all when he bottomed out, having had to ask you to spread your legs a little more so that he could fit inside you fully, but even that didn't help as there was still a bit less than half of him outside. Rensuke gulped before chuckling breathlessly.
Now, your walls were literally pumping him at this point, and he tossed his head back with a groan.
"h-how do you feel, pretty?", he asked as he looked at your upper body which lay on the bed. your eyes were closed. Peacefully.
He panicked. "_-____?!"
You jolted. "what?!", you yelped, feeling fuller than a thanksgiving turkey. You just wanted to rest, because you felt like you coud fall asleep like that. your knees started to hurt, though.
"Oh, thank god...I thought you were unconscious...or worse...!", he said in a scared tone and hugged you. your eyes widened.
Oliver didn't care for you like that. He just fucked you, and that was it. He didn't really take care after the sex. he just threw a wet washcloth at you and left.
You felt like crying. "I-thank you, Rensuke...", you spoke softly and moaned when his dick twitched. "S-sorry..."
You giggled before pressing yourself against his hips, biting your lip and moaning aloud when you felt him go deeper inside you, and Rensuke grabbed the sheets tightly as he grinded against your butt. He cursed a lot because of that before he grabbed your hips. "S-stop. stop it, please.", he begged, and you stopped abruptly.
"wanna stop completely?", you asked as you turned around, seeing his taller frame rise and fall rapidly as his head hung low. "N-no...just...c-can we...take a small break? and maybe do it on the bed?", Rensuke asked shyly as he looked up at you with a pained expression.
you were turned on. too much. You nodded silently and began to miss the fullness his dick gave you, feeling completely empty now. You shakily stood up and hugged his head, playing with his hair as he hugged you back, still on his knees. "sorry..."
"Hey, it's okay, baby.", you shushed him, and made him face you as you looked at him fondly...lovingly. "It's your first time, Rennie, don't want you to fuck me into oblivion, y'know? We can also cuddle if you want. Also thank you for telling me to stop. Many people pull through the act even if they don't like it. I'm glad you let me know."
your voice was gently, your fingers working wonders on his hair and head, and he sighed contently, hugging you tightly before he stood up, towering over you and gently pushing you back to the bed.
You crawled back with a grin when he smiled and crawled to you with a hint of mischiviousness. You bit your lip excitedly when his face neared yours. "You're just so pretty, ____...the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.", he said softly, and before you could react did he kiss you clumsily on the lips.
Seems like he never kissed anybody as well...was he a hardcore virgin? And your heart fluttered at his praise. you kissed him back with more passion, your experience letting you dominate the kissing as you felt him shyly open his mouth for you to enter with your tongue.
And you also took this as a chance to turn the tables. The moment you parted lips, you quickly pushed him back, making him land on his back with a "w-whoah!" as you sat yourself on his hips, his dick right underneath your slick, juicy cunt.
You glared at him playfully before you leaned down and started making out with him again, changing the angle of your head again and again to kiss him differently, and he caught on over time, and soon, your tongues danced together as you eplored each others bodies with your hands.
Rensuke was the first to part, panting as he had his eyes closed in bliss, and his legs twitched violently when you rolled your hips against his groin. he hissed. "f-fuck..!"
you keened at the pleasure, loving how nice the pussyjob felt which you gave him. "you like that, baby boy?", you teased as you drove your hips slowly and with much more pressure up and forward to the head of his dick, and he trembled slightly.
"D-don't call me baby boy...! ....but...feels good...", he gritted through his teeth as he felt his orgasm approach. You narrowed your eyes at him with a smirk before you took his dick gently, holding the heavy schlong up as softly as possible, with him looking at you confused through his blissed out face.
He didn't have to ask you what you were about to do though, because you just raised your hips, putting his dick at your entrance, and then lowering yourself again slowly. And this time, his dick went in fully. you had a belly bulge. Kunigami wanted to cum right then and there.
He moaned shakily when he felt your pulsing walls again, placing his hands on your waist this time as he leaned forward and kissed you. "mmh, y'make me cum..."
"I hope so...'m close too, y'know?", you answered and took one of his hands, placing it on your throat. He raised his eyebrow. "felt good when you did this...do it again. But apply some more pressure...here.", you said softly when you placed his thumb and middle finger on either side of your pulse points.
he frowned with a blush. "I-I only did it in the heat of the moment, ____-"
"And I loved it. Please do it again?"
He looked at you for a moment before he sighed. He then thrusted upwards, up into your g-spot and put slight pressure on your throat, cutting off your air support little by little.
your eyes were glazed over a bit as they fluttered and you began raising and lowering yourself on him. He applied more pressure and you groaned, feeling the air leave your lings, and your vagina pulsed around his dick, making him gasp sharply.
In less than a second, you were back on your back now, with him still being inside you, you gasping for air as he left your throat to stabilize himself before he began thrusting into you, knocking out the air from your lungs like that as well.
you scratched his muscular wrists with your nails as you mewled and gasped and moaned at the feeling of his dick pumping in and outside of you. He was panting above you, and he reveled in the view of you.
Lost, but looking up at him as if he was some sort of divine person...like he was a hero...
He groaned loudly before he adjusted his legs and spread them a bit more a part before he swiveled his hips against yours in a slapping motion. "Oh shit...fuck! Y're so tight...hnnnghh~...", he whimpered as he tried keeping up his ministrations, and you were gasping and moaning.
He wanted to cum so fucking badly...but he wanted you to orgasm on his dick first. he then looked down from your face, to your jiggling tits with each thrust he made -he smiled dumbly at that- before his gaze travelled more downwards to where your pussy and his dick met. your pussy was glistening with your own juice, which allowed Kunigami to go into you much easier.
He put his finger on your clit and swiped it around quickly as he felt like he could cum any second now. And it also didn't help any more as he felt you gasp sharply and whine at his fingers.
Everything was so...loud. The slapping of skin against skin, and the wet sounds of your juice and his dick rubbing around inside you, the rustling of sheets as you kicked your feet around in pleasure, the bed creaking with Kunigami's thrusts, and the sounds which you and Rensuke made.
you came first with a cry of his name, squirting as you did so, and Kunigami's mouth stood wide open as he watched you, while cumming into the condom inside you.
He and you were a panting, sweaty mess.
"uh...d-did you two have to do it in my room?", came the shy voice of Ness, your new roommate. He was a blushing mess when he saw you two, but you noticed his boner (which he poorly hid), and so did Kunigami.
---
bwahaahahah
I hope this was good enough, and I will read it again after some time.
Read you in the next post! Requests are CLOSED (...until I say they're open again)

I saw that the asks were getting too personal so here's a story question I've had for a while. How much of the contest of champions finale Changed due to the delays ? Was it mostly how you planned with the exception of linkara's speech about how much happened or was there more?
Not EXACTLY the finale, but the Blue Knight of Titan was supposed to be a bigger player and we were going to see Empira again. the Blue Knight was going to be an occasional ally that Linkara would bounce ideas off of and strategize against opponents and there was going to be a sequence where Empira requested to use Linkara's house for her battle with the Bandit Chief since it was territory he probably hadn't studied, whereupon it's revealed he has a charm that negates magic and thus he could defeat her easily - to show off he knew about and could counter magic, so that wouldn't be an option for fighting him. The Blue Knight would face off against the Bandit Chief in the semi-finals, where they'd play a game inspired by Egyptian mythology - the "weighing the heart against a feather," in this case their "sins" or rather their guilt. The Knight figured "This guy has got to have some serious blood on his hands and I can get him to fall short whereas I am a great hero who stopped villainy." During this contest, the Bandit Chief would instead manipulate the Blue Knight into feeling massive guilt about his actions - that he betrayed his friends, murdered a surrendering/fleeing opponent, and continued arrogantly presume he was right and boast of his actions for years to come, whereas the Bandit Chief holds no such illusions about his activities. It was to show that the Bandit Chief was also a skilled manipulator - you couldn't defeat him in some kind of oratory or trick him in a traditional way. Thus with all the other contests, it came down to "The only shot you have against him is if you fight him on an even playing field, like a board game," or in this case a card game. It's just the twist we were going to film but never got around to it would have shown in the penultimate episode of the finale was that he had binders and binders full of Yu-Gi-Oh cards, that he was actually an expert player. However, the bigger change was in how Linskano was going to find out. The contest with the Blue Knight WOULD have actually had some cheating. Yes, guilt was a big factor... but the sins was also a big one, too, and while the Knight's guilt would have balanced things a bit more, the Bandit Chief was going to lose... but he used some kind of magnetic/magical device to shift the scales in his favor and Linksano would have investigated and found out and exposed him. And I realized later that that would have undercut the point of the test and character moment for the Knight, plus Will became more busy with life and was unavailable to do it, so then the Halloween arc with the Confession proved a better way to have Linksano find out the Bandit Chief's duplicity plus actually have that play a bigger role than just showing how treacherous the Bandit Chief was.

Enjoying celebratory drinks, games and dancing after their successful defeat of the Mother.
Final Summary below.
Final summary: Second time around playing the StrangerVille Mystery and I still found it super fun! The only downside is, technically, only one sim can really play the main part in this aspiration. The game simply does not allow more than one sim to play it at the same time. But! I found some work arounds and cheats that helped me do this.
Basically the first two milestones several sims can complete in the one household without you having to cheat. The last two milestones you will need to cheat for other sims to complete them.
At first I wanted just Bessie to play the main part, but then I messed up by having Celeste open the final door with her key card (3rd requirement in milestone #3), which then meant she was responsible for creating the vaccine, vaccinating sims and gathering a team to help fight the Mother (& fight the Mother!). I could also only get one sim one scanner device which meant only one hazmat suit & spore filter. I cheated these items for the other sims.
Good thing to note too is you cannot cheat & place a hazmat suit/scanner device on a vacation rental lot, the game told me 'your sim doesn't own this item'. Frustrating! But I just ended their vacation and then sent them back after adding a hazmat suit to their personal inventory while they were on their home lot. Also you will need a mailbox on your vacation lot as that's how the spore filter gets delivered to the main sim who asked for it.
I'll admit it was a bit chaotic at times playing this mystery with three sims but I did have a lot of fun. It's a great little mystery and if you haven't played it I would definitely recommend giving it a go!
Celeste, Alonso and Bessie all completed their aspiration and they all received the Hero of StrangerVille trait, but only Celeste received the milestone of defeating the Mother.
Thanks for following along! 💗

Secrets
Author’s note: jade time!! With a little yandere energy
Content warning: yandere coded Jade | possessive
Tumblr media
A gentleman has his secrets, and Jade can count himself as one. He can very well choose to hide them, or voice them out to the world to his liking where people can judge him for it. Yet, Jade finds himself at the crosswalks of both: either play his cards right and tell his secrets or die with his secrets buried.
Well, time could tell.
“Jade, have you done the homework? I couldn’t figure it out.”
“Why, if you’re seeking help, I believe you’re asking the wrong person. Azul-san has the answers for everything, you know.”
“I don’t want to cheat..”
How quaint, Jade muses. Standing before him was a trembling [Reader], perhaps intimidated by the towering Jade and the inquisitive look he had on him.
“Then, you’re personally seeking me for help, [Reader]? I’m afraid I can’t be of help..”
[Reader]’s lips curl to a pout.
“I see. Sorry for bothering you.”
Such changes to their expression sent shivers to Jade’s spine - oh, he yearned to tease them a little more.
“Why, [Reader], is the homework too difficult for you? Perhaps, I can lend a hand and explain to you the concept.”
[Reader]’s features light up, a beaming radiance akin to the sun. Jade felt a chuckle bubble at his lips. Truly, he found amusement in [Reader]’s reactions, their smile, their mannerisms that stirred something in Jade’s beating heart. He wouldn’t openly admit this ‘secret’; he’d rather take to his grave, yet the others take notice, feeding into Jade’s expression whenever he encounters [Reader].
”Please, Jade!”
Ah, there it was, a signature move to chip away at Jade’s resolve. How could he ever refuse such a request from [Reader]? Why, even he couldn’t fathom himself.
“Of course, [Reader], right this way.”
His affinity with [Reader] was one secret Jade kept in his sleeve; another was this bestial urge to lock them up and keep them to himself, to toy with them further, to latch him upon their every being until they know nothing but Jade himself.
Alas, he wouldn’t bother with telling such a secret. Besides, he had to wait patiently until the most opportune moment to entrap [Reader] into his clutches.
”Jade, what’s with you today? You’re just helping [Reader] with their homework, aren’t you?”
Azul couldn’t help but ask. He didn’t really like that suspicious look upon the Vice Dorm Leader’s expression, a drawn out grin curling at the corner of his lips.
“Why, it is none of your business, Azul. And yes, I’m simply just helping [reader]; they lack understanding of their concept, and they most certainly wish not to use your services for the day.”
Any claim of that ‘suspicious’ grin Azul thought he saw from Jade was quickly rebutted; the suspicious grin overwhelmed Azul to the point of distraction. He takes a breath before returning to his paperwork.
“Alright, if [Reader] doesn’t require my services, you can take them to the library or where you see fit to assist them with the homework. Just don’t ask me for the answer sheet; that’s only if they are going to use my services.”
“Of course, Azul.”
The twin departs, leaving the Dorm Leader to his devices.
“What’s with the grin, Jade? You’re creeping me out.”
[Reader] quips, perking an eyebrow.
“Oh, was it? Please pardon me.”
Jade’s delight was evident; he can spend time with [Reader] alone. Yet, he mustn’t let his guard down just yet; for now, he must play along, ‘assisting’ [Reader] with their homework.
“Now, if you can please follow me, [Reader]. We will head to the library where I will attempt to explain the concepts to you. Is this allowed, my dear?”
Sickeningly sweet words trickle from Jade’s lips; one would think he had practiced and memorized such words - yet, he didn’t, such delivery was smooth as trickling water flowing down a stream, his lips curled to a smile. Such words found its effect, eliciting a blush on [Reader]’s cheeks.
“Of course, Jade. Thank you.”
A light-hearted chuckle bounces from Jade’s lips.
“Allow me.”
He levels his gaze to [Reader]’s height, offering an arm as he prepares what seems to be a gentlemanly demeanor. [Reader] could feel their cheeks burn upon the gesture, murmuring a thanks before taking Jade’s arm.
Unbeknownst to them, Jade celebrated to himself, his heart pumping a million kilometers per second with [Reader]’s consent. Together, they walk to the library, passing by curious students strolling past them, Floyd making a funny face at Jade when he glimpses his brother with [Reader].
Jade merely answers back with a smirk at his lips, unsettling Floyd for a brief moment.
“Geez, what a weirdo.”
The eel mutters to himself, averting his gaze elsewhere that was not [Reader] and Jade.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12TH, 2020- 5:24PM // SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13TH, 2020 - 2:38AM // next | tw: alcohol, horny bird pt. 2
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13TH, 2020 - 2:38AM
“Cheater!” Kei exclaims, scattering several UNO cards across the floor, “You’re -hic- cheating.”
He pouts dramatically, throwing himself against the living room carpet. This childish display has you cackling. Perhaps he’s a bit too drunk, but it doesn’t matter because so are you.
“Can we play a different game, please?” he pleads, slurring.
“It’s not my fault that I’m a god, Kei!”
“If I wasn’t drunk, you’d be a goner.”
“You said five minutes ago that you aren’t even drunk!”
“I’m not!”
“Liar!”
“Different game!” he bellows, still throwing a tantrum.
You reach over and flick the back of his head. Even though you’re hammered, you still manage to land it squarely in the center. His head flies off the floor to face you, honey eyes narrowed.
“You’re dead, (Y/L/N).”
One of his feathers darts toward you, aiming directly for your exposed ribs. You know this game far too well, and while you could easily avoid his attack, you secretly enjoy this kind of attention. In a way, it’s like he’s touching you. That’s what you tell yourself, anyway.
You leap to your feet and begin sprinting in the direction of your bedroom, but the feather is simply too fast. Before you can even make it through the door, it’s teasing the sensitive area, causing you to convulse with defeat. You, unfortunately, are being tickled within an inch of your life.
“K-Kei!” you shout, breathless and laughing, “Stop it!”
“No, you flicked me!”
You crash into the wall and slide to the floor, feather never leaving your side.
“I’m gonna pee!”
“You shoulda thought of that before you flicked me, then!”
“I -- fuck -- I’m sorry!”
“What? Can’t hear you. Speak up!”
“I’M SORRY!”
“That’s what I thought,” he says, a fake threatening tone to his voice.
With that, the feather zips back into the fold of his wings, bumping into a lamp on the way. You stay slumped against the wall, attempting to catch your breath. Meanwhile, Kei has raised himself to a relaxed sitting position on the living room floor.
“Now, a different game, please,” he smiles.
“Fine, crybaby.”
“Watch it, or I’ll tickle you again!”
“Nooo!” you whine, returning to your spot on the living room carpet with a graceless thump.
“I have an idea!” Kei gasps.
“Shoot.”
“How about, um, Truth or Dare, but, like, with alcohol! Like you take a shot if you don’t wanna do your truth… or your dare… or whatever.”
“I didn’t realize we were sixteen years old.”
He calls a feather to hover dangerously close to your ribcage once again.
“Jesus, alright! Just put that shit away.”
He smirks with satisfaction as the torture device returns to its crimson plume.
“I’ll go first!”
“Hold on, let me get the vodka,” you grumble, hoisting yourself up.
As you hobble to the kitchen, Kei begins the game anyway.
“Truth or dare?”
“Let’s do truth,” you decide after a moment, returning with the bottle of vodka.
“You’re no fun,” he pouts, considering his options, “Hmm…. oh! Okay, so, you’ve got good aim.”
“Yeah. Truth or dare?”
“I WASN’T DONE YET!”
“I’m teasing, Kei! Someone’s touchy.”
“Leave me alone,” he growls, “I wanted to know what your quirk really is. Because I don’t think that’s all.”
“Yeah, that’s not all. All of my senses -- you know, sight, hearing, whatever -- are better than a normal person’s. Not all of them are the same amount of better though! My sight is the best, and then touch, then -hic- hearing, smell, and taste. It kinda sucked at first, but I worked really hard to make it worth something, ya know? I even got an ultimate move out of it!”
Kei’s mouth is hanging open in real, but overexaggerated shock.
“Really? Show me!”
“It’s not really something I can show you…”
“Oh. Well, can you, like, tell me about it then?”
At this, Kei scooches closer towards you, eyes widening even further.
“I just, um, focus more, and it makes my senses almost perfect. Like they’re great on their own, but with more focus it gets to the point where, like, I can tell what people are gonna do before they’re finished doing it. It’s like -- ‘oh, I can hear their pinky toe moving in their shoe, they’re probably gonna take a step’. It gives me a migraine when I’m done though.”
Kei nods and begins the long, arduous process of standing up.
“Okay, so I’m gonna get up and then I’m gonna do something totally unexpected. You gotta say what I’m gonna do.”
“I just told you it makes my head hurt, birdbrain!”
“But I wanna seeeeee!”
“You can see it later! I don’t think I can do it right now, anyway. I’m drunk.”
He rolls his eyes and crosses his arms across his chest.
You learned from your last time drinking together that when Kei drinks, he often wants to play some sort of game. And when he’s drunk and playing a game, one of two things can happen. One, he gets extremely competitive. This is what happened last time, when he flipped your game of LIFE off of your coffee table. Or, two, he becomes a big, mopey baby, which is what’s happening right now. You know it’s all in jest, and while it’s slightly annoying, it’s mostly endearing. You can’t wait to remind him about this tomorrow. If you’re even able to remember, that is.
“Truth or dare?”
“I’m gonna pick dare, because I’m not a loser,” he mocks.
“Oh, now I’m gonna pick something terrible.”
You scan the room, drunkenly scrambling to find something hellish for him to do as revenge. You just did a deep clean of the whole apartment, so there’s nothing really gross around here that you can think of. You’re fresh out of mushrooms, otherwise you’d make him eat one. You know he would have hated that. You could make him wear one of your bras on his head, but that would require him to see it. Too embarrassing for you. Suddenly, a lightbulb pops in your head.
“Let me touch your wings.”
There are two reasons for this diabolical idea. Kei talks all the time about how he loathes when fans touch his feathers without his consent. But also, selfishly, you just really want to know what they feel like. You’ve felt individual feathers before, and they’re incredibly soft. Feeling multiple all at once sounds heavenly.
“No. Absolutely not!”
“Now you’re no fun!”
“They’re sensitive!”
“I’ll be gentle.”
“No, that’s wooorse!”
“How the fuck is that worse?”
In addition to the flush of Kei’s intoxicated cheeks, a new pinkess spreads across them.
“Either let me touch your wings for a few seconds or take a shot,” you urge him.
He locks hazy eyes with you, and you can see the gears turning in his head. Simultaneously, the gears are turning in your own. You can’t really gather how it would be worse for you to be gentle with them. Holding back on the pressure couldn’t possibly hurt him. In fact, that seems like it would be more pleasurable for him.
Your brain stops in its tracks.
Pleasurable.
Before you can stop yourself, you share your revelation.
“You don’t want me to touch them because you’ll like it too much!”
“No, I--”
“Don’t lie, Kei!”
“I don’t--”
“No, you do know!”
“FINE, TOUCH THEM!” he concedes, throwing his arms in the air.
You grin widely, feeling victorious, as he turns to the side. You use this opportunity to scooch closer to him, preparing to caress the plumes.
You could go about this one of two ways, you figure. You could make this as easy as possible for him. A quick stroke across a small section. Or, you could make this extremely difficult for him, running your fingers between the expanse of the whole wing. Something about the intimacy of the interaction, the inhibiting effect of the alcohol, and your burning desire to touch his wings, to touch him, make you pick the latter.
You wiggle beside his extended leg, facing the wing directly. Before you touch him, something possesses you to lean towards him and whisper in his ear.
“Remember, this game was your idea.”
All in the same motion, you draw your head back and carefully dive your fingers into his wings. As you run them along the surface, you suck in a breath. You expected them to be soft, but you’re taken aback. It has exceeded your expectations by a lot. Your fingertips tingle at the way each feather teases them. The fine barbs feel smooth underneath your touch. A strange sensation zips its way up your arm like it’s a live wire. You move at a sloth’s pace, wanting to savor this feeling for as long as possible, mesmerized. You’re only halfway across when Kei’s hand closes around your wrist, forcefully yanking it away.
His previously hazy eyes are now dark, met firmly with the wall directly across from him. His breathing is labored, shoulders heaving with each inhale and exhale. The previously pink flush in his cheeks is now beet red. Warmth spreads in your midsection, intoxicated by both the restraint he has you in and the downright primal look on his face.
“That’s enough,” he asserts, sternly.
You flounder, looking deep within you for some sort of snarky reply. There’s nothing left in your head; it seems that this interaction has wiped them all away. You feel redness creep up your neck and into your face. Your heart is beating out of your chest. You’re sure that Kei can hear it loud and clear. You swallow hard, and attempt to find your voice.
“Come on, that was nothing,” you offer, weakly.
Your gaze flickers from his eyes to his lips. They’re parted slightly to allow for his panting breaths. The image of him closing the distance between you, crashing them against yours, flashes across your brain. Working against them in expert fashion. Just like you’ve wanted for so long. You can practically feel the pressure of them, sucking on your bottom lip and lightly nipping. To satiate the need you suddenly feel, you take your bottom lip between your teeth, returning your gaze to the predator before you.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Keigo’s palm burns around your wrist. It’s taking everything in him to refrain from pinning you down on the floor and reenacting the images flashing in his head. Your heartbeat is drumlike, rapid, and even more inebriating than the copious amounts of liquor he’s had tonight. Your erratic breaths cause your chest to brush lightly against his forearm, the additional contact driving him further into insanity. After years of training, he knows that this is the ultimate test of his will. He’s losing.
A part of him consistently suggests that loving you isn’t a venture that’s destined to fail. The rest of him usually overshadows that, spouting endless excuses for his actions. Well, rather, inaction. Right now, he’s forgotten every reason he’d previously given himself. No matter how badly he wants to, how desperately he needs to, he can’t bring himself to look at you. If your expression is anywhere near what he’s imagining it to be, he won’t be able to stop himself. In his soul, he knows that if he acts right now, he will be completely unable to show anything resembling mercy. The already looming threat of going completely feral will swallow him whole, and he will fuck you into oblivion.
It’s appealing, the thought of releasing hold on his inhibitions. The only thing stopping him now is the thing that stops him from doing a lot of things these days.
He must, above anything and everything else, keep people safe. And you just happen to be at the very top of the list of people in the world.
This is as instinctual as breathing for him. A knee jerk reaction to outside stimuli. His outside might be extremely stimulated right now, but the core of his very existence will not allow this to continue. Not like this. If he’s ever presented with the opportunity to sleep with you, it has to be centered around you. It has to be considerate. It has to be gentle. The current state of things doesn’t equate to that at all. Of course he cares about you, about your safety. He also cares about being a decent human being, a decent pro-hero, even in the face of quickly reducing into an animal.
Finally, in the raging battle of Keigo versus avian instinct, Keigo emerges victorious.
In one swift motion, he releases his grip on your wrist and raises himself off the ground. Semi-rational thought slowly starts to flow back into his head. He knows that whatever the hell all that was effectively ruined the banter for the night. The way he reacted to your touch scared himself, and he can’t even begin to imagine how terrified you must feel. Moments like these reacquainted him with the fact that his quirk, combined with all of the meddling the Commission did to him, essentially made him a monster. He goes to great lengths to hide that from the rest of the world, but now he’s revealed the most ugly part of himself to the only person in the entire place that matters. You, his entire life, now know that even the most human of hawks are predators, too.
He stumbles to your balcony. In his altered mind, he believes that leaving would be the ultimate courtesy to you right now. It doesn’t matter that he’s plastered. It doesn’t matter that you’re already following him, begging him to stay. No one, especially you, deserves to spend another moment with such an unholy creature as Keigo Takami.
Without so much as a backward glance, he surges off of the balcony and into the night sky. His aim is to fly across the city, across the country, across the world. But, his double vision doesn’t grant him much aid in the darkness. Before he can make it even fifty feet from your apartment building, he clips the one across from you with his massive wing. In any normal circumstance, he would be able to recover from this without much issue. But he’s shitfaced. So, instead, he careens into the street below at remarkable speeds. With a yelp, he lands on the gravel and slides, scraping his entire left side. For a moment, his deafening, panic induced thoughts are quiet. It happens to be just long enough to hear you from your apartment four stories above.
“KEI!”
A pro-hero such as him should be able to take an injury like this like it’s nothing. In fact, he’s done it countless times before. Something about the drunkenness and the complete descent into self-loathing keeps him glued to the pavement. He knows you’re coming. He knows he’s going to have to face you. He knows that you’re probably worried out of your goddamn mind. He knows it’s all his fault.
For the first time in recent memory, Keigo feels entirely lost. Though he’s tried so hard, he knows now that you’ve found him out. In his perfect world, he hoped that you took his lack of affection and general emotional standoffishness as a sort of defense mechanism. In essence, that’s what it was, but he never wanted you to find out any of the myriad of things he was defending himself from -- defending you from. Now, there’s no way in hell you could view it as anything else. He wants you. Badly. And now, you know.
He hoists himself up into a sitting position with difficulty, both hands finding their way to his hair. The panic is starting to give way to crushing defeat. He’s already running through ideas on how to cope with the loss of your presence in his life. After the imminent rejection he’s about to face, he’ll have to cut off contact with you for his own sanity, at least for a little while. Maybe he can contact Kana and see if there’s any way she can assign another pro-hero to your case. Just as he’s running through candidates to recommend, he hears your sandals crunching against the gravel.
“Hey!” you call out.
Keigo inhales deeply and raises his head.
“Oh, thank fuck,” you breathe as you approach him.
You stumble slightly as you finally reach him, hands reaching out. You crouch beside him and begin to inspect his form, picking pieces of the ground off of it.
“(Y/N)...” Keigo sighs.
You shift your focus from cleaning him up to his face. As soon as you see the look of despair on it, your own face drops.
“What? Kei, what’s wrong?”
Is it possible that you aren’t as thrown off by this interaction as he is? Did this even phase you at all?
“Um.. you were there five minutes ago too, right? You witnessed the shit that I just pulled?” he asks, softly.
“Yeah, you jumped out of a fucking window! Of course I witnessed that, you idiot!”
Of course you didn’t care about the fact that he almost acted on his innermost desires in the most animalistic way possible. As always, you just wanted him to be okay. He should have suspected as much.
But, after tonight, he’s not sure if he’s physically able to keep the act up much longer.
“I meant before that.”
Redness creeps across your cheeks as you nod in recognition.
“Yeah, uh, I did witness that,” you whisper.
“And,” Keigo gulps, “did that… uh… scare you? At all?”
You laugh nervously. A flighty and musical sound. Keigo’s heart drums faster.
“No. I wasn’t scared. I was…” you trail off.
You suddenly groan and throw your hands over your face.
“God, Kei, don’t make me say this,” you cry.
His mind races. What could possibly be worse than making you scared by that? He can’t immediately think of anything, but whatever it is must be awful. He definitely won’t be seeing you ever again after this, but he needs to know. He has to prevent this from happening ever again. Not that it ever will, because he doubts that he’ll ever let his guard down like this from now on.
“You’re gonna have to. I’m not following,” he mutters.
You whine, and retract your hands. Your eyes are glued to his chest, as if that’s as close as you can get them to his eyes at the moment.
“I -- it kind of… turned me on.”
Keigo feels as if someone dumped a gallon of cold water over his head. In fact, if someone managed to do that right now, he would probably be less shocked. He can feel his mouth drying out from the amount of time he’s spent with it hanging open.
“See! I knew I shouldn’t have said anything,” you groan, shifting to raise yourself up.
Without thinking, he wraps his hand around your wrist again, pulling you towards him. You fall to your knees, face inches away from his own. He searches you one final time for any sign of regret, but all he finds is a desperate, pleading expression. He somehow finds it in him to speak.
“Can I?”
You nod softly and he does what he’s been wanting to do for months.
The first thing he notices when his lips finally meet yours is the taste of strawberry vodka. The second thing, hitting him immediately after, is an explosion in his chest. It’s a million sensations at once -- flowers blooming, fireworks popping, the sun rising. Keigo has done a lot of things in his short life, but not one of them has even come close to the pleasure of kissing you.
What was a tentative, slow pace quickly evolves into something needy, something frantic. His hands shift from the soft grip around your wrist to tangle themselves in your hair, pushing you closer to him. Even though you’re practically on top of him now, you’re not close enough, and he doesn’t think you ever will be. His tongue swipes against your lips, begging for entrance. You happily oblige, and he delves deep into you. As your teeth crash together, Keigo begins struggling for breath. He doesn’t want it, maybe he doesn’t even need it. Now, he feels as though you’re the only thing he needs to survive. Just as he accepts that as fact, you break away to rest your forehead on his. You’re panting, giggling softly between breaths. As he collects his thoughts, his mouth moves before any of the rest of him can.
“You have no idea how long I’ve been wanting to do that,” he whispers.
“You should have done it sooner,” you retort, still out of breath.
He’s beginning to regain control of his body now, so he pulls away from you just far enough to plant a soft kiss against your nose. Even though he would love to continue to feel the most unique and gratifying thing he’s ever felt, he recognizes that now is not the time nor the place. But, if he has anything to say about it, there will be plenty more opportunities, scattered across the rest of time. He pauses as that thought, at how a simple kiss has fixed the position he’d been saving for you since the moment he laid eyes on you. You, his first friend, his last love. He finds your hand and squeezes it.
“It’s getting pretty late. You should probably get to bed,” he suggests.
“You could stay with me, if you wanted. I wouldn’t want you to get arrested for drunk flying,” you chuckle.
The smile that sprouts on Keigo’s face is strong enough to break his cheekbones. It’s a miracle that they stay intact.
“You’re absolutely right. Always looking out for me, aren’t you?”
He lifts himself up and pulls you with him. As the two of you walk back to your apartment, your pinky fingers are linked together. It’s a small, almost lazy connection, but neither of you seem to be able to entertain the thought of letting go.
(a/n): fuckin finally amirite

Destinytober24: Day 8 - Harmonica
You know who else cheats at cards?
Link to Ao3 if you prefer to read it there
When the sky is darkening, the fire crackling, and one is alone and missing one's ghost, the only sensible thing to do is pull out a harmonica and serenade the universe, like a whale singing its solitude out to the open sea.
Cayde-6 is doing this now.
It is the in-between time. The Witness has not yet been killed. The Vanguard is preparing for what may be its final operation. Crow is out scouting. Zavala is learning Stasis from Ikora, and Cayde has been left with his own thoughts, for however long that will last.
A Hunter's journal lies open on one of the salvaged folding chairs by the fire. It shows a map of the Blooming, sketched in a careful hand with clear labels of landmarks and concentrations of hostile troops.
The fire is spitting, a new log having recently been added. A small pot of something edible is near enough to the flames to be kept warm but not close enough to char.
And Cayde... Cayde is warding off the loneliness with a sad song. He tells himself that if Sundance is in the Traveler and the Traveler is all around him, then she can probably hear the music. So he plays for her. He plays to tell her he misses her. That he knows she misses him too.
It isn't so much a sound behind him as a feeling. A creeping feeling. The sensation that he is no longer alone. He stops playing and tilts his head, listening. Not Crow. He makes too much noise. This is someone quieter. The eerie sensation increases. It feels inexplicably... Hive.
Cayde stands and spins around, Ace drawn. Three green eyes glow in the darkness above a larger sphere of Soulfire at the other end of the path leading up to the campsite.
As his finger depresses the trigger, he hears the gunshot from a different direction. Cayde retains his grip as the barrel of his gun is knocked aside.
Solar. Different angle. Two of them.
Cayde tumbles back out of the firelight, seeking the shadows to avoid the next shot. But the next shot does not come. He rolls again and comes up on one knee with a tripwire grenade armed and blinking in one hand, his weapon readied in the other.
The Hive eyes have ducked behind a rock. He can see the faint glow. He waits a moment for the grenade timer to run down so that it will detonate as soon as it lands and prepares to toss.
"Cayde!" a voice calls out.
Feminine. Low. Familiar. Pissed off.
"Eris?" Cayde stands up. "Eris Morn?"
"Yes." She confirms with an oh-so-familiar tone of complete exasperation.
"Well I'll be damned."
Cayde tosses the tripwire grenade behind him, holstering his hand cannon as the device explodes harmlessly on the beach.
A hand holding a globe of Soulfire emerges from behind the rock, followed by the distinctive three glowing eyes. And then, as she comes closer to the fire, the tear-streaked face of Eris Morn above the outline of her chitinous pauldrons, strings of beads glinting in the firelight, becomes visible.
"Sorry," Cayde says, flippantly. He isn't very sorry. A little sorry, maybe, but not that sorry.
He steps closer to the fire, his arms out, ready for yet another hug in a long string of hugs from people he's been dead to for years.
Eris steps closer to him as he stands, his arms still out, the awkwardness of the situation increasing as he awaits an embrace that does not come.
Instead, Eris leans in and holds out her Ahamkara bone like a flashlight, peering intensely at him. Her outstretched hand hovers inches above his skin as her three green eyes bore into him, examining him as though he is a science experiment. She looks closely at one outstretched hand, up one arm, walks around behind him, peers down his other arm and finally leans up on her tiptoes to scrutinize his face.
Cayde-6 leans back slightly as her hand hovers over his faceplates. Eris steps forward and continues until her fingertips are just inches away from the tip of his horn before withdrawing her hand.
"It is you," she intones.
"Yeah, it's me." Cayde's arms are still out, waiting for a hug he is no longer certain is coming.
Eris tilts her head.
"How?" she asks.
"It's... complicated."
A shadow to the side steps into the firelight. The second shooter.
Cayde's eye-lights blink in surprise. Of all people...
"Now that's a face I didn't expect to see. How are you still here?"
The Drifter shrugs as he continues to walk toward the fire. "I might ask you the same thing, brother."
"And you," Cayde turns back to Eris, still examining him intently, his arms still out awkwardly. "I figured you'd be a Hive god by now."
"I was," Eris says nonchalantly as she makes another slow circuit around him, peering at him over her ball.
"I think he wants a hug, Moondust."
"What?" Eris pauses, giving the Drifter a confused look before looking back at Cayde again. "Oh."
Cayde raises his arms a little bit.
"Very well" Eris turns and places her Ahamkara bone on top of the open journal on the chair before clumsily reaching up to provide Cayde with the most graceless and uncomfortable hug he's ever received as he looks down in exasperation at Eris' rock on his map.
Cayde and the Drifter make eye contact. The Drifter smirks and sits down in an unoccupied chair, lounging back like he owns the place.
Cayde raises a finger, about to say something when Eris steps back and places both of her hands on his shoulders, gazing at his face intently.
"Have you been on the Moon?" she asks.
Distracted from what he was about to say, Cayde looks at her quizzically. "What? Uhmmm... you mean before or after I died?"
"After," Eris says, her voice insistent.
"The Guardian and I did go looking for a ghost there for Micah."
"No. After you died but before you returned. While you were dead. Have you been on the Moon?"
She speaks with the intensity that only Eris Morn can summon, focused on a confusing detail that means nothing to him, and it's as though all the years have dissipated and they're back in the Vanguard office and she's once again being frustratingly cryptic and weird, up to and including having her damn rock on his damn map.
It's oddly comforting, the exasperation. Like an old familiar blanket.
"No, Eris," Cayde says, with a gentleness he never had with her in the past. "I wasn't anywhere. I was... with Sundance... somewhere inside of here... before here became... whatever it is now."
"Hmmm..." Eris releases his shoulders and turns away, staring into some unidentified point in the darkness out beyond the light of the fire. "Troubling, but... not unexpected."
Yup. Same Eris.
"Someone wanna clue me in here?" Cayde asks looking to the Drifter, of all people, for clarity.
"Apparently a ghost of you... not like a guardian ghost, a ghost ghost.... has been pestering her on the Moon for years," the Drifter says, tumbling a coin across his knuckles. "She's been tryin' to figure out this whole time whether it was a pyramid phantom twisting her memories or actually you. That's one of the reasons she wanted to come see ya."
"Yes," Eris turns away from both of them and reaches out a hand in front of herself, her fingers combing empty air. "Of all the nightmares that have been sent to torment me, yours has been the most confusing."
Cayde feels a pang of guilt. "Wasn't me. I mean, I figure I tormented you enough while I was alive. Seems unfair to keep doing it after I'm gone."
"Yes," Eris intones and nods. "It did seem like far more effort than you would have troubled with."
Another pang of guilt.
"Look... Eris," Cayde steps toward her. "I don't know if you got my message after I died but um... I am sorry about your ship."
"My ship?" Eris turns back to him, confused.
Her three eyes blink slowly and then narrow. "My ship." Her mouth twists into a snarl.
"Easy, Moondust. You got a Tomb ship now. You don't need that old thing."
"She has a Tomb ship?" Cayde stares at the Drifter in disbelief.
"Yeah," the Drifter answers gleefully. "Reclaimed from the Lucent Hive. The inside is bigger than the outside. It's wild."
"You seriously have a Tomb ship?" Cayde asks her.
"Yes," Eris intones, as though it was a simple boring fact that was not remarkable at all. "Your light is... different."
She never was much of a conversationalist.  Same old Eris.
"Yeah," Cayde says. "No powers either... just the gun... And no Sundance... I don't even care that much about the powers but... I miss her... a lot..."
"Yes." Eris says, her own voice now gentle. She lays a hand on Cayde's arm.
"It hurts," Cayde says bluntly in a way he knows she will understand.
"It does," she agrees, once more staring into his eyes with her own.
"Now I know what it feels like..." He places his own hand on top of her own.
"It is not a feeling I would wish to share with anyone."
"Yeah," Cayde says quietly.
The Drifter's misshapen ghost appears over Eris's shoulder. Both Eris and Cayde look at it for a moment, and then over at the Drifter.
The coin disappears and he sits up nervously from his slumped position.
"What?" he asks them.
The Drifter's ghost bumps into Eris gently, blinking red then blue then red again, before floating away into the darkness beyond the firelight. It emits its single tone from a lighter spot a short ways away and looks back at them, its shell open and spinning.
"Hmmm...." Eris follows it. Cayde follows Eris. The Drifter shrugs, stands up, and saunters after everyone else.
The Drifter's ghost continues moving until it leads them to a crack in the ground pouring out brilliant white light. It hovers over the crack and emits its tone again.
Eris catches her breath. "Is it... one of them?" She asks, looking at Cayde.
"Cracks in the Traveller?" Cayde asks. "Yeah."
Eris walks over and kneels down next to the crack in the ground. The Drifter's ghost settles into her open hands. She tilts her head, listening.
"You know, Ikora did the same thing." Cayde says.
The Drifter stands next to her. "Eris?"
Eris's hand flies up, palm flat. "Hush."
The Drifter looks back at Cayde. Cayde shrugs.
"You just gonna sit there on the ground like that, Moondust?" His hand reaches out to touch her arm just below her pauldron.
Eris hand flies up and grips his wrist tightly.
"Be. Silent," she commands him, giving his hand a small shake with each word.
The Drifter's ghost floats up from Eris' lap and bumps into his chest, nudging him back.
He takes a step back and the ghost floats back down into Eris's open hands.
The Drifter's hands raise up, palms up in a gesture of surrender as he steps back further. "Oooookay."
"Is that your ghost?" Cayde leans over and whispers.
"I think she's gonna be a while," the Drifter whispers back, not answering the question.
"Yeah, Ikora sat there for a couple hours the first time she saw it too."
"Alright then."
Both turn and walk back to the fire.
Cayde sits down on the chair next to where Eris' Ahamkara bone is sitting on his journal. The Drifter takes a seat as well.
"So uh... are you and Eris..."
The Drifter is silent. He leans back and his coin once more starts to flip across his knuckles.
"I mean, I'm not going to pry but... I've only ever seen you look at one other person like that..."
Still silent, the Drifter shrugs.
"And you're still here," Cayde continues. "That... that really is a surprise... I figured you'd be long gone by now."
"Yeah well," the Drifter keeps his coin tumbling as he talks, "Decided I wanted to stay after all."
"Have to admit... I did not see that one coming... does make a bit of sense though."
The Drifter is silent for a few more moments as the coin walks across his knuckles and the fire licks at the logs. Then he leans forward and the coin disappears.
"How long you figure you got?"
"I don't know," Cayde says quietly. "It... doesn't feel like a long term thing."
"Might not be long term for any of us, really, depending on how this fight goes."
Cayde nods.
The Drifter shrugs. "Feel like losing at cards?"
The practised grin with a glint in his eyes is back and Cayde finds the offputting man oddly comforting in this moment, much in the way Eris being frustratingly obtuse was comforting earlier.
Shifty scheming Drifter is still shifty scheming Drifter, and that, too, feels weirdly soothing to Cayde in a world where everything else seems to have moved on without him.
"Lose?" Cayde asks, his elbows resting on his knees. "I seem to remember the last time we played I wasn't the one with no pants on."
"If you call seein' me without pants on winning, sure." The Drifter winks. "Didn't know you felt that way, brother." His eyes sparkle in the firelight.
Cayde laughs and shakes his head. Yup. Still Drifter.
"Shut up and deal."
The rogue Lightbearer reaches into his coat with a wide toothy grin and pulls out a dark glass bottle. He places it on the ground between them.
"Ooooh," Cayde reaches out, curious, and picks it up by the neck. He brushes off some dust to get a look at the label. "Ooooh," he says again, this time leaning back and nodding in appreciation. "All right, you have my attention."
A deck of cards appears in the Drifter's hands.
"Uh... hmmm..." Cayde pats at his pockets. He wasn't resurrected with any glimmer.
His hands come across a lump. It's not a question of value, but the spirit of the thing. That'll do. He pulls the object out and holds it up.
The Drifter raises one eyebrow and then nods, shuffling the deck with easy familiarity.
Cayde tosses his harmonica next to the bottle on the ground between them.
The metal instrument glints in the light of the fire as two rogues sit down to do what rogues do best: see which one can out-cheat the other at cards.

And though Remus had a thick jumper and coat, they were still soaked and frozen as they ran across the pavement, laughing with their cold fingers clinging to each other like it was Noah’s bloody flood and they were about to be swept away. Then someone—Sirius was never sure who, though he often liked to take credit for it—closed the distance and lips met lips. And that was all it took, really. Besotted. Smitten. Twitterpated—the word Remus liked most of all. Sirius knew it would be minutes, moments, seconds before his heart told him he was in love and there was no going back from the emotional tidal wave that was Remus bloody Lupin.

He supposes that this is what is expected of him, to sit here and listen to wetness sinking into the earth and remember how it felt when it was sunny, and there were four of them, and Sirius Black looked at him like he was a piece of the universe he wanted to understand so badly that he was willing to take Remus apart completely and then put him back together.

Sirius is in love and wants nothing more than to finally hold his on-line boyfriend in his arms. James is convinced that Remus is really a fifty-year-old man who is misleading Sirius and refusing to meet because Sirius would find out the truth. The truth is much more simple. Remus is in love, but scared that if Sirius finds out how much time he spends in hospital, Sirius would leave him.

Cheeseaged Exocolonist Age 15: Use my transcendence of time to cheat at cards
In which I befriend a furry by financially ruining him, in order to reach my full potential and ascend as an autistic god.
Year 15 starts with your home in ruins. There's no special dialogues, and only two ways to pass the first three months: help rebuild or mourn. I choose to mourn, because this is Sol's first time experiencing death (in this lifetime), and because, having maxed out Organizing, rebuilding is highly suboptimal, whereas mourning lets me avoid stress and trim my deck of useless non-blue filth.
Because I chose the sportsball, I find it when sifting through the rubble of my room and get this rather sad dialogue.
Tumblr media
Mourning gives you many opportunities to level your Empathy. However, because I have the In Mourning status, all my stat increases are reduced by 1, rendering every single one of these +1 boosts completely worthless.
Tumblr media
This always happens, because Kom always dies. I'm not sure if this was an attempt to really underscore how hurt Sol is, an oversight, or a straight-up troll.
After three months of developing my Empathy in nonexistent amounts, the Heliopause arrives, and Sol's home is gradually taken over by fascists who enthusiastically spread disease, worship the military and hate transgender people. I enjoy visual novels because it's a fun escape from the problems of the real world.
Fortunately, there are exactly two nice Helio kids, Nomi and Rex. Nomi is an nonbinary AuDHD techie and Rex is a furry engineer. Rex often reminds you that he is part dog, in case you had missed the ears. His dog traits include a reduced lifespan. This is not, to be clear, a setting where people just have mutations. This was a deliberate genetic augmentation. Someone purposefully made their kid part-dog. Incidentally, Nomi likes anime, so here's a panel from one of my old favourites, Fullmetal Alchemist. They've never seen that one, so really this picture wasn't relevant. Sorry.
Tumblr media
I improve my friendship level with Rex by giving him sticks, his favourite item because he is part dog. Rex is easier than most to befriend because he enjoys physical affection, because he is part dog. I love Exocolonist, so rather than saying anything bad about the game here, I will reiterate that my favourite character is Tangent, because she's a complex person with a well-integrated character arc in dialogue with the central themes. The writers really took their time to make a fleshed-out character with deep relationships with the others and multiple character traits.
Once I have high enough friendship with Rex, he wants to play cards with me. I wait to play cards with him until after Vertumnalia, where I beat both Tangent and Nomi at the trivia game. The card you get from doing Trivia is worth 8, making it as powerful as the card you get for defeating a giant in a fight to the death. Better yet, it's blue. Why do I keep picking blue cards? You're about to see.
After Vertumnalia, I am Popular because of my detailed knowledge of pop culture trivia. I would fit right in on Vertumna, except it is currently ruled by fascists. We'll take care of that, but first we need to arm ourselves. Popularity doubles the amount of kudos you get for three months. From all sources. Now's the time to take Rex up on his offer to play cards. Rex is good at cards, but he has one critical weakness: he's playing against someone who has played this particular game countless times. I use my past-life knowledge to win the game, betting 100 kudos that I have a better card.
Tumblr media
Sorry, make that 200. Sucker.
Tumblr media
I now have a vast wealth of kudos, most of which I gained from cheating at cards by consulting my past lives. With this ill-gotten fortune, I buy the ultimate weapon in the game, which is surprisingly not the Drone Rifle, an actual gun. It is a "vintage focus device," a fidget spinner. Because Sol is very autistic indeed, a fidget spinner allows her to reach her full potential by letting her stim. Accessibility tools being a luxury you have to buy - in fact, the most expensive luxury in the game - paints a very bleak picture of the colony's ability to handle disability.
That would be just a joke, but Nougat's learning disability, Tangent's drug abuse and burnout, Dys' (potentially literal) alienation and Tammy's phobia of nearly everything all go pretty much neglected unless you step in. It's interesting how much Vertumna recreates the same oppressive structures that it is an attempt to flee from.
Fortunately, we can get rid of ableism through autistic world domination, to which we are one step closer.

Caregiver Oogie Boogie Headcanons (The Nightmare Before Christmas)
I had always planned on doing Jack’s headcanons today, and it only made sense to post these ones at the same time. Suggested by @buttercupagere
Tumblr media
His lair is filled with fascinating things; giant decks of cards, animatronic slot machines, medieval devices of sinister nature - it’s a fantastic place to play! (And he makes sure you never get into any real danger.)
He loves playing games of chance with you - card games, dice games, Bingo, Pie Face, Pop the Pig… Any game that relies solely on luck is one he likes to play. (And he still finds ways to cheat, and encourages you to do the same.)
He’s a surprisingly good cook, and makes you tasty meals. You do occasionally find bugs swimming in your food, but it’s fine - they’re clean.
(On that note, you tend to find bugs in lots of places; keeping an eye on you, or trying to play.)
He’s not a very strict caregiver and gives you a lot of freedom. You’re allowed to run pretty wild in the “house” above his lair.
There are absolutely no rules on how much candy is “too much”.
He lets you decorate whatever you want with blacklight paint - including yourself!
Baths and washing and cleaning? All overrated. Pointless, really. None of that nonsense on his watch.
He’s the best tickler, and always makes you burst into laughter.
When he’s busy, the skeletons in his lair take over as babysitters. They’re a bit more firm on rules because they don’t want to make Oogie angry, but they’re still fun to play with.

bonUs examine! a deck of magic playing cards, what do they do?
The Dead Man's Deck: An insidious magical device, the deck of cards emits a low level physic aura around itself, playing tricks on the mind and heightening the emotions of all who handle them. The cards themselves are in reality entirely blank, and use their physic link to project their values into the minds of the players, manipulating plays and hands however the deck sees fit, which is nigh invariably to favor a single player or the dealer unfairly and obviously. Allegations of cheating or rigged dealing, combined with the heightened emotions caused by the deck has indirectly claimed the lives of many a player, and destroyed even more friendships, relationships, and bar reputations. Equius acquired the deck from a collector of mystical artifacts who had lost themselves to the various physic effects of a number of artifacts in a particularly violent fashion, drawing unwanted negative attention toward the patrons of a number of less insidious artifacts they possessed- necessitating the removal of all of them. The deck of cards is kept in a warded circle of silver and iron that prevents it's psychic influence from reaching out, but doesn't prevent active viewing or handling, as the card's effect is diminished heavily by mere knowledge of it's power, it is considered low-risk.

vagueposting but i link to the post pissing me off and quote it. so not vagueposting at all but the blog has a massive following so it's not like. bullying
there is A Post i keep seeing, despite my best efforts to scrub OP from my dash, and it's specifically this version
reasons this post annoys the bejeebus out of me:
This is not a dunk on fandom—love the energy!—but I dream of the things we all could accomplish if we devoted some of that love and passion to the living creatures of planet Earth.
This is absolutely a dunk on fandom. You have literally structured your post around calling out "fandom" for not spending energy on something you think is more worthwhile. "Oh, no, OP meant in addition to fandom activities--" Nope! Maybe that's what they wanted to say, but they did not frame their post this way. The singled out fandom, played the "not to mean but--" card completely straight, and then somehow laid their environmental anxieties at the feet of fandom. They genuinely sound like one of those PTA moms who gives themselves anxiety over what innocuous things other people's kids do in their free time, which do not affect them at all.
[...]
Let me tell you a secret. Talk to gardeners and ecologists from your parents' and grandparents' generation, and you will recognize the same kind of people [as artists], passionate, socially awkward and probably some flavor of neurodivergent, except their blorbos are lichens, salamanders, mushrooms, bats, turtles, and birds.
These people were the ones that taught us how important those creatures were in the first place. That learned how to study them and wrote down what they observed.
Here's a neat little rhetorical device where OP isolates people "from your parents' and grandparents' generation" as separate but still accessible entities. This magical mood of loving nature is so close to you, but you've been isolated! Forgotten the old ways! These magic old people infused you with love for nature, and learned how to.... study them and write down what they saw...? No one was studying ecology or studiously improving gardening methods before your grandparents. There are no gen Z ecologists. There are no magic nature-loving people who also do fandom. Nuh-uh. It's just these magical older generation gardeners with all this secret knowledge.
Also, I never talk about (one part of) this, but I am a neurodivergent scientist running a fandom blog, and I do think claiming ecologists/gardeners are all "some flavor of neurodivergent" is a super weird take. First, ecologists (and scientists at large) are diverse people, not some cute stereotype in your head. Second, don't diagnose strangers, jfc. Third, "some flavor of neurodivergent" does not automatically make someone your friend or your magical relatable nature guide who wants to infodump all their cool nature facts like a trained dog.
IME ecologists and other people working in conservation ARE hype to tell you about their research and work, but I think linking this trend of enthusiasm to "oh, probably your local cute neurodivergent person--" is harmful in more ways than one to, like, everyone involved.
Here is something important: People cannot care about saving what they haven't even heard of.
This is true, or at least dogma I've heard actual conservationists say. It also has nothing to do with "fandom."
When I first started researching plants, I was shocked and horrified to find the internet almost empty of informative resources. No pictures, no paragraphs written by knowledgeable people, no cheat sheets, no diagrams.
There is not a single photo of a couple-months-old American Sycamore sapling anywhere on Google. Not one.
This is not true. There are in fact many plant identification websites, along with insect, spider, bird, mushroom, etc websites, often run by government organizations, botanical gardens, plant nurseries and nature enthusiasts. They often look like they were designed in the early 2000s and never updated, and there's not a really good umbrella website (except maybe iNaturalist?), but these resources definitely exist. If you google "Platanus occidentalis seedling" or "Platanus occidentalis sapling," you can indeed find the photos OP claims do not exist (examples: x, x). This is the piece of the post that pisses me off the most, because by claiming things literally don't exist on the internet, you actively discourage people form seeking them out.
Side note: I actually blocked OP over a different set of posts where they blogged at length and with extreme performative concern over not being able to find a specific type of study, which was a study design so common anyone who's spent more than thirty seconds figuring out google scholar could have found one. Posts like this are not actually helpful for general science education and instead just upset people while simultaneously misinforming them and discouraging them from doing their own searches.
When I started doing educational events at the place I volunteer, I had to write stat blocks and handouts about my trees MYSELF. From scratch.
So does the information literally not exist, or did you compile existing info into a streamlined form to fit your purposes....? How did you learn the information? Did one of the magical old people tell you?
Everyone I've talked to has said the same thing—I would like to plant native species and create a place for wildlife, but there isn't any information.
Don't let people tell you that you can't do anything. We already have scientists. We need artists. Bloggers. Enthusiasts. Hobbyists. Shitposters. We need love, passion, and obsession.
These things exist. These types of spaces exist in real life and all over the internet. Why are you writing like they are a dying breed? Reddit might have its problems, but there are tons of subreddits filled with enthusiastic people who will help you figure out a native plant garden. There is almost definitely at least one desperate conservation group who has this information available for your area (try googling your region and "native plant" - example: "bay area native plant" brings up the California Native Plant Society). You will have to spend some time reading, but I promise the information is there if you spend as long on google as you do making posts like this. You are harming these groups by writing as if they don't exist or are barely functioning due to lack of community support.
We need people whose talents are in editing, photoshopping, shitposting and meme-making, because the internet is where the conversations of the world happen, and we need to be talking about the living things of our planet that are in peril. Their beauty. Their importance. I'm completely dead fucking serious here.
I do agree with this point. Scientists are trained to make graphs, but they're not trained to make graphic design, if you know what I mean.
However, OP's goal is......
Do y'all have any idea how powerful a force your enthusiasm is?? To save the world, we need people who are like that, but about niche bees.
Imagine the most feral and unhinged of freaky fandom folk.
Now imagine someone who is Like That about prairie grasses.
To... have "fandom folk" redirect their energy at.... plants and bees? The subsequent blogging indicates that OP simply wants more blogs that post photos and art of plants and fungi. Okay, cool. What does this have to do with fandom? Do you know that fandom is a hobby for most people, and they go off and do other things in their life that might not be apparent to you, a stranger on the internet? Do you know how many of these magic ecologists and conservationists spend all day doing the work you want to see, and then go goof off in fandom to relax? Do you know that you do not have the right to control or criticize people's harmless hobbies, which do not affect you?
Someone else reblogged and added this comment:
Unfortunately fandom is mostly character analysis, and plants have no character to analyze so this will never happen
Also, the most helpful thing for them to do to save the planet is to donate money to those already doing it, not clogging up the system with terribly thought out newbie orgs
OP decided to reply to this comment more than once, jumping on the idea that "plants have no character" as ridiculous and then making fun of the idea of donating money. I want to emphasize that OP reblogged this person twice, which solicited their many followers to jump on their wording and yell about making plants blorbos, rather than think about any of OP's supposed points about conservation or gardening or environmentalism.
This person, apparently: the only form of doing good in the world that exists is donating money to a charitable organization. There is no such thing as work or outreach or education only money
In the ideal world, people would have dedicated jobs for the things described above. There are people who make a living off of doing scientific illustrations, and I would love for there to be more paid positions where artists and trained educators work with scientists on outreach. Established organizations do need volunteers, but they also need money so they can hire trained professionals to do the things OP is calling on fandom for.
Anyway, as a scientist and a fandom blog, here's this:
What you do with your spare time is up to you. If it's posting weird headcanons at 2 AM, whatever. You do you. You do not have to direct energy at saving the world or whatever.
If you're interested in ~touching grass~, I recommend googling for state/national parks in your area, as they're easy to identify and often put on cool events. You can also google for specific societies or hobbies, or places like botanical gardens and nurseries. Hobbyist mycologists are wild people, for example. These orgs often have volunteer days if you don't have a lot of time to commit.
Are you an artist, graphic designer, or illustrator? You may be surprised how many groups would love to have you design a pamphlet or logo! They will generally give your the information they want people to know and not just have you put together your own information unless you volunteer to do so (source: anecdata from scientists I know who also happen to be talented artists).
Memes are cool, but if you're trying to use them to ~spread information~, please do your best to fact check and then also provide citations. If you make a viral meme of bad information I will be forced to write a vent post about it. :P

Find the Word Tag
Thank you so much for tagging me, @card-queen! (In this post!) (Also I really like that formatting y'all are doing so I'mma use it)
The words I must find are pit, ruin, coil, and protect.
For this, I will be using my WIP, Secrets of a Gon! (I haven't even officially introduced it yet but it's the only WIP that had all of these words haha) I'm doing long snippets because I can. Also I'm cheating slightly and counting words that are part of different words sorry afsdadsjfh--
Putting it below the cut since I already know this is gonna get long:
Tumblr media
Pit
“I’m on the phone!” “So? Tell ’em you have to go!” I grab one of my pillows and chuck it at Oran—which lands pitifully at his feet. He leisurely bends over to pick up the pillow, his face slowly breaking into a gleeful grin. “Ven abajo”—he threateningly holds up the pillow —“¡ahorita!” “You can’t make me!” I retort. Apparently that was the wrong thing to say—because Oran instantly rushes at me and starts attacking me with the pillow. I try to defend myself with the other pillow that’s on the bed, but Oran uses my distraction to his advantage and snatches my phone out of my hand. “Hey!” “Sorry,” Oran says into the phone, “Ree’s gonna hafta call you back!” He taps his fingers on the screen and then drops the device on my lap, giving me one last whack with the pillow before he tosses it behind me.
Ruin
We almost make it through the hallways without any problems, but then of course I ruin it all by going around a corner way too fast, and I crash directly into someone, taking them and myself to the floor. “Ree!” Jog yelps, crouching down next to me. “Are you okay?” “Yeah…” I sit up, relieved that nothing feels broken. “Sorry about that,” I say to my accidental-assault victim. I flinch in startlement. It’s none other than Aaron Silver. “You’re forgiven,” Aaron says, which sounds hilarious in his deadpan voice. He winces slightly as he rolls over and pushes himself on to his knees. “That was some tackle, hon. Have you ever thought about playing football?”
Coil
“No pudding today?” Aaron and Seth glance up as I sit down at the table. Seth laughs and Aaron ruefully grins. “Not today,” Aaron says, flicking his hair back from his face. “Sorry to disappoint you.” Seth is in the middle of solving a Rubix Cube, and he spins it so rapidly that I have no clue if he’s actually trying or if he’s just kind of playing with it. Aaron has a Ziploc bag full of some sort of misshapen chocolate candies that he’s snacking on. He sees me looking at the bag and holds it out to me. “You want some? They’re carob-chocolate-covered crickets.” I recoil, kind of disgusted. “I thought not.” Aaron chuckles and pops another piece of chocolate in his mouth.
Protect
Adam’s a really sweet brother, honestly. Sometimes he takes his anger out the wrong way, like that time he punched Will Brown for stealing Abigail’s pencil, but at least he’s got good intentions. It makes me think about how Oran tried to forbid me from coming to get gelato with Tracer. He was just trying to protect me. I spot Tracer glancing towards the window, probably wondering how long I’m going to be on the phone.
Tumblr media
I'mma (gently) tag... @k-v-briarwood, @athenswrites, @planets-and-prose, @the-grim-and-sanguine, @my-cursed-prince, and leave the tag open for anyone that wants to join in!
I'll give you guys the words admit, stride, flush, and texture!
(I'm so sorry if those words are super out-of-pocket! I blame it on being a linguist.)
