new one shot Jan 5, 2025: forest floor.

⚠️ this post hit the link limit, and I haven't decided what to do. I will still try to update the newest fic link above.

moodboard by @milla-frenchy 🖤 a rb will not stay up-to-date.

SUMMARY: He's a bad guy, and you're his good girl. Joel saves you from bad men, but claims you for himself. His persona starts to crack, but he gets even more possessive. You're his world, and he'll do anything to keep you. Emotional slow burn but smut the whole time. WARNINGS: 18+ canon-typical violence, noncon via implicit threat, evolving to enthusiastic dubious consent (stockholm syndrome), depraved use of praise and pet names (sweet pea, baby), unsafe P in V, exhibitionism, extreme possessiveness, dark fluff (🖤), angst, and more. NO USE of Y/N, No physical description of reader. Darkness rating by poll.

[bird0fparadisestuff]

I have a theory

This is my own silly little analysis on what we, the community, know about the Astral Bodies.

They are constellations given (somewhat) humanoid forms and are considered to be gods. They are said to be compiled of the 12 main zodiac signs. Their origins are still unknown, but in "Nebula COMFORTS Solar in VRChat" it is mentioned that two Astrals were "lost" to war.

This made me think. One was the second messanger to the Astrals, and the other was left unnamed.

Core ... and Cusp?

When Cetus was first introduced, I was confused. I did my own research to find where he originated from. Soon, I discovered the existence of "core and cusp" signs of the zodiacs.

Aries (Mar 30 to Apr 17) – Ram

Phoenix (Apr 18 to 28) – Phoenix

Taurus (Apr 29 to May 17) – Bull

Cuniculus (Lepus) (May 18 to 29) – Rabbit

Gemini (May 30 to June 18) – Twins

Cervus (Jun 19 to 29) – Deer

Cancer (Jun 30 – Jul 19) – Crab

Ursa (Major and Minor) (Jul 20 to 31) – Bear and Cub

Leo (Major and Minor) (Aug 1 to 20) – Lion and Cub

Canes (Aug 21 to 31) – Dog

Virgo (Sep 1 to 20) – A Maiden

Corvus (Sep 21 to 30) – Crow/Raven

Libra (Oct 1 to 21) – Scales

Lupus (Oct 22 to 31) – Wolf

Scorpio (Nov 1 to 20) – Scorpion

Ophiuchus (Nov 21 to 30) – Snake Charmer

Sagittarius (Dec 1 to 19) – Centaur

Vulpecula (Dec 20 to 29) – Fox

Capricorn (Dec 30 to Jan 17) – Sea Goat

Cygnus (Jan 18 to 27) – Swan

Aquarius (Jan 28 to Feb 18) – Water Bearer

Pegasus (Feb 19 to 29) – Pegasus

Pisces (March 1 to 19) – Twin Fish

Cetus (March 20 to 29) – Whale

I put the dates in just to see what zodiac you would be if you landed on any cusp sign.

But here, we can see "Corvus" which is a Crow/Raven constellation. My theory is that the unnamed Astral that was lost to war was Corvus, otherwise known as Kerian. I believe that their is a hierarchy among the Astral Bodies.

1. Core Astrals (Libra, Taurus, etc.)

2. Cusp Astrals (Corvus, Cetus etc.)

3. Servitude Astrals (Nebula)

4. Lunar lol

Maybe this is why Corvus chose to join the Dark Stars after losing to them in battle because he was seen as a second-class citizen.

Speaking of Dark Stars, Cetus. I like to believe that the Astral Bodies are tied to their Greek origins. Many of the constellations are tied to Hercules. Cetus was a giant sea monster slain by both Hercules and Perseus. His origins further solidify his evil nature (not that it needs to be proved).

Golden Hour at Duxford. ARCo formation on the Battle of Britain. Sure it has changed over the years.

This week, as we mark the 84 years since the Battle of Britain, we remember and pay tribute to the Service and sacrifice of 'The Many. The pilots, plotters, factory workers, radar operatives, engineers, firefighters, ambulance drivers, anti-aircraft gunners and so many more. Their bravery and courage marked a defining moment of the Second World War.

The service has taken place annually on the 15th of September, the date chosen as Battle of Britain Day since appointed by His Majesty King George VI back in 1943. The day recognises the momentous point in the fighting when the Luftwaffe launched its heaviest bombing raids on London.

The news about Hugh Dancy attending another convention in the States (NY Comic Con) with Mads Mikkelsen made me both excited and sad as I head to RDC6, lol

The article on nerdiest.com written by Rotem Rusak [publication date: Jul 31 2024]

[matan4il]

There’s a lot I don’t know so this is an invitation to collaborate: if you see anything you can correct or add to, please do! I’ll update this post accordingly.

Note about the dates: If a date is presented as is, that means I found something that seems to indicate this is the date when this event took place. If a date is presented with the sign [ in front, that means this is the earliest this event could have taken place. If a date is presented with the sign ] at the end, that means this is the latest this event could have taken place (for example, the date when an interview was posted. Even though this interview is likely to have been filmed on an earlier day, I can only tell for sure that it could not have possibly taken place later than this date)

Mileapo Timline:

21 Feb 2013 - First modeling event Mileapo are both present at (click here for a vid from that day)

17 Oct 2020 - KPTS auditions workshop. Mile and Apo won 2 of the 7 available fast tracks, which seems to mean they were automatically accepted into this stage of the auditions, they didn’t have to wait for the 12 Oct announcement like the rest of the candidates

18 Oct 2020 - KPTS auditions final casting day

However, it’s possible that due to time zones, or how ‘x days ago’ is calculated, it was actually Jan 10, or continued into that day)

12 Jan 2021 - The cast all meet up again after a break and spend the day together (probably as a part of a workshop)

17 Jan 2021 - Sosat Seoul Say does two interviews, one with the main cast as a group, one with just Mileapo. As far as I can tell, these are the first interviews Mile and Apo ever do for Kinnporsche the Series (posted online 13 Mar)

Dates of debuts, retirements, etc in cities other than Kyoto are mostly not as easy to find out about, as the Hanamachi receive less public attention. Some are only discovered years later. So these lists presented above might not be complete and only include everything I found out about (with the help of others).

In 2024, we had 29 debuts, 2 Erikae, and 21 retirements. Included in these 29 debuts are two cases of "once retired Maiko/Hangyoku came back as Geiko/Geisha" (Yamagata Wakana and Akasaka Koume).

Love At First Bite ( Hangul : 첫입에 반하다) is a fictional six-member co-ed group formed by E:CLIPSE Media. They released their debut single album, “Immortal Wish”, on October 31, 2014, without any teasers or promotions.

Love At First Bite seemed to come out of nowhere, the first artists under an unknown company and none had fame prior to the group, yet they took the kpop industry by storm with their dark and vampire-like concepts with a majority of their music charting next to groups from big companies. Along with being a full group, they release music in sub-units. Bloody Mary is a sub-unit consisting of their female members: Clara, Angel, & Juliette. RED ROSES is a sub-unit consisting of their male members: Nico, Valentine, & NOIR. They are also a self-produced group, with NOIR and Clara producing a majority of their stuff.

The thing that drags fans into the group has to be their extensive lore, all the members taking the role of vampires from the late 1800s - early 1900s, trying to blend into human society and navigate different human experiences. The members of the group are said to give off vampire vibes even off stage, and many fans wonder if they could actually be vampires. Love At First Bite is named the most successful co-ed group in Kpop and one of the best groups to come out of 3rd Gen.

If you want to do any further reading into the dates I would check out The Jewish Book of Days: A Companion for All Seasons by Jill Hammer. I got the majority of the dates from Hebcal and they have links to things there as well.

FINALLY! I'm announcing the next "Most Memorable Sexual Experiences of..." k-pop group next week!

Yes! It's finally time! 😁 I've spent the last six+ months writing a new "Most Memorable Sexual Experiences of..." series.

Most Memorable Sexual Experiences of NCT is what kicked this blog off. I published 21 stories, one per member of NCT and WayV, telling of their most memorable sexual experiences. The goal of the series was to write realistic sex stories/smut that is fiction but reads as though they could actually have happened to our favorite (obviously sexually active) idols.

If you're here and following this blog, it's probably because you're an NCT and/or WayV fan interested in sex stories about your favorite k-pop idols.

For months now, I've teased the fact that there will be a new series in the same gist as the original. It will be about a completely different group, maybe a little more out there for some stories, telling of the most memorable sexual experiences each member in that group has had.

Now, the question is: which group will the new series be about?

This week I'll be dropping hints! The first hint comes tomorrow at 16:00 (Central European Time). Until then, which group do you HOPE it will be?

Tomorrow, Tuesday at 16:00 Central European Time, you'll get the first hint.

WAIT, WHAT ABOUT YOUR OTHER STORIES & SERIES?

Don't worry! The (gay) NCT Dream Dating Ban series will continue until I've covered all 7 members, but there's no fixed schedule for this. The previous/already published stories are:

#4: Mark

#3: Haechan

#2: Jisung Pt. 2

#1: Jisung Pt. 1

The current Quick Fix season will continue every Wednesday and ends on September 18:

Jul 31, 2024 – #17 NCT Mark asks if Jisung can touch your boob.

Aug 07, 2024 – #18 BTS Jin gets you pregnant.

Aug 14, 2024 – #19 NCT Haechan does push-ups over you.

Aug 21, 2024 – #20 TXT Taehyun plays with your nipples.

Aug 28, 2024 – #21 NCT Taeyong fucks you while Yuta jerks off.

Sep 04, 2024 – #22 NCT Jeno fucks you missionary style.

Sep 11, 2024 – #23 NCT Chenle doing the seashell.

Sep 18, 2024 – #24 NCT Johnny is pinned against the wall.

And finally, I've been posting more Mixed One-shots than usual in July-August. There won't be as many going forward, with the other series' and all, but I do have several requests lined up that I'm working on. In case you've missed anything, here are the recent one-off stories from the Mixed One-shots series:

Backstage sex with Leondre Devries (Bars & Melody)

Vanilla sex with Xiaojun (WayV, requested)

Jealous girlfriend with Ten (WayV, requested)

Jisung with an older woman (NCT Dream, requested)

Jeno with an older woman (NCT Dream, requested)

Camping with Romeo Beckham (son of David Beckham)
