Minors DNI

Some characters might have kinks that'll make some uncomfortable. Read at own risk

Keisukei Baji

Pyro: this can range anywhere from setting your pubes on fire and putting it out with his cum to setting things on fire to fuck you near it. Wax falls under this category also with setting the special wax candles on fire and drawing on your body with the hot, melted wax. Fire has always gotten him excited.

Bondage: has many ways to tie you up and leave you struggling. Can be a bit sadistic when this is involved.

Biting: watch out for those fangs of his because you're surely to have some marks and maybe a little drops of blood when he's done.

Hair pulling: loves it when you pull his hair, gets him groaning and his dick twitching every time.

Secretly has a blood kink. Also enjoys using toys and is a bit degrading

Taiju Shiba

Breeding: just seeing you stuffed with his cum gets him hard immediately. Won't stop until he's fully satisfied, until he knows you'll be carrying his child. Be ready to be fucked senseless every night and day

Spanking: if you've been bad, better be careful. He'll punish you until your ass his red and almost purple or until you beg and plead you'll be good.

Daddy: you call him daddy once and it made something in him snap. Loves it when you call him that when you're being punished or when you're pleading and begging for his dick

Dom: need we say more here? This man enjoys being in charge so being the one to pull the strings during sex, to be the one to make you so pliant beneath him, begging him for more. He pulls the reigns here. Might let you be on top a few times but he still needs to be the one in control.

Rough: bit of an understatement with him. Be ready to be broken in half and be unable to walk for a few days. Any fuck session with him is brutal like his fists. But don't worry, he'll make sure you can handle him.

Degrading and you know it

Sanzu

Knife kink: enjoys to threaten you with his knife. Licks it when a little blood gets on it. Sometimes, you're not sure if he actually plans on teasing you with it or if he really will hurt you. But that's just what he wants, to get off to the fear in your eyes.

Toys: most of his seem more like torture devices. Has quite a few bars to tie you up to so you can't move, vibrators, clamps, floggers and whips, electroshock toys, even has a fuck machine he can place any dildo to it as he pleases.

Overstimulation: he will fuck until both of you are hurting and pass out or, he'll use whatever toys he has at his disposal to turn you into a crying, drooling mess of yourself.

Sadist: he's a major sadist. Loves watching you cry in pain while you can't move to stop him. Just know when he starts, he won't want to stop.

Degradation: need we say more? Calls you a disgusting slut, whore, etc. Especially happens when he's overstimulating you.

Secretly has a praise kink. Tell him he's being so good for you, that he's the best you've had. Kiss his neck and scars. He'll become soft in your arms, almost fucking you lazily or rougher depending on how it gets him going.

Shion

Blood: will bite you and lap up drops of your blood. Might bite your tongue or lip a bit hard too. If you allow him, he'll leave little marks with a knife, enough for a little red to bead at the top of the cut. (F!Reader) On your period? Hope you don't mind him slurping and licking you clean. Little bonus when he finally gets that tongue ring.

Sadist: loves seeing you writhe in pain and pleasure. Often gets a bit too carried away with how rough he can get. Has all kinds of toys to use on you from clamps, sounding rods, plugs, vibrators, etc. Choking and breathplay also involved. Sex with his is very rough.

Degradation: he'll be calling you his little cock slut, watching you beg as he can't help but degrade you. Your his slut and he's gonna make you know it.

Cuckolding: some days, he wants to watch you get fucked by someone else whether it be one person or a group. Gets him so worked up as someone else fills you up, marks you, but he knows you're his at the end of the day. Prefers if it's people he knows or you know.

Secretly enjoys being spanked or having his hair pulled. Drives him crazy. But wait...he's also a bit of a masochist though this will take some experimenting to find it.

Also, very good with his tongue. He's very proud of that fact he can make anyone cum in less than a minute. Lots of slurping

AN:: first time writing, literally scared shitless🔥 english isn’t my native language🙏

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who made a pasta recipe once (probably from instagram reels), and became a self-appointed master chef. Forgot about the fact that it took her 3 tries to even cook the pasta.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who can’t stop saying flavor instead of scent. She just genuinely doesn’t see the difference.

“What flavor do you want?” she asks you while holding up two colorful packs of wax melts. She bought a wax burner and used it to melt chocolate so she can have chocolate covered fruit anytime she wants. Used it 2 times total.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who vapes. I’m sorry but that’s the truth. She just loves to puff on her cute little mixed berries disposable. Also, keeps saying she can quit anytime she wants, she can’t.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who uses axe body spray. If someone asks about it she just says it works better, but she actually likes the scent. Kind of her guilty pleasure.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who hated on the sims franchise her whole life only to find out you’re a fan. She pirated the whole series (DLCs and all) off of some russian website in one night. Got like 20 different viruses but at least her girl could play the sims 2 happily.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who is terrible at foreign languages yet has a duolingo streak that over 500 days. She knows how to say ‘the apple is red’ in german and can barely pronounce her order in mexican restaurants.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who is chronically online. Constantly posting shit to her insta stories, sending you tik toks 24/7 and all that stuff. One time she got so invested in a facebook group drama that she didn’t reply to your texts for the whole day.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who wears the most unfunny-funny shirts you can imagine. Stuff like ‘women want me, fish fear me’ and ‘eat, sleep, game, repeat’. And they’re always either way too big or way too small.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who always said she doesn’t want any pets, that it’s too much of a commitment for her… Then she found the ugliest kitten she’s ever seen on the street and took it home without thinking. Let you choose the name but calls him ‘stinky’ no matter what. Like mother, like daughter.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who couldn’t tie her shoes until she was 15. That’s it.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who is so lovestruck for you that I can’t even explain it. She’ll always do the cheesiest things possible, like standing before your house with roses, a bluetooth speaker and a promposal poster or bringing you every little thing she found on her walk that ‘reminded her of you’.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who doesn’t like to go out on dates. She’d rather stay at home with you, watch a movie, make dinner together (you’ll be the only one actually cooking), maybe paint something or just spend time together doing nothing… Would really enjoy a date at the planetarium though.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ loser!Ellie who is a total yapper. Can and will talk about anything and everything for hours on end. And if you mention an interest of hers? Oh god, get ready to see a powerpoint presentation about it. Literally the definition of ‘☝️🤓’ but in a good way.

I’m so scared to post this it’s not even funny☠️ Hope you liked it <3

Hair Removal Methods.

I was heavily inspired by a post I found on Reddit when making this post. I haven’t seen too many posts about hair removal methods on Tumblr, and I have quite a few asks in my inbox about that, so it made sense for me to make a small guide with tips, methods, and recommendations. If you want more information, product names, my sugar wax recipe, or just recommendations, please don’t hesitate to send me an email or just comment below for me to respond.

Shaving.

Cost: $

Speed: Average

Smoothness: Average

Discomfort: Low

Tips/Methods:

* Always buy men’s razors. They usually come with  sharper blades that don’t clog as much as the blades on women’s razors.

* I only shave using hot water and when I’m in the shower. The hot water softens the hair and makes it easy to remove, and the flow of the water prevents my razor from clogging.

* The direction you shave is important. If you shave against the grain (the direction opposite the hair points), you can get a closer shave, but you risk ingrown hairs. Shave with the grain on sensitive areas and do multiple passes if needed.

* I personally use shaving cream from EOS and products from Topicals to lessen ingrown hairs and clear up dark marks. Shaving isn’t my preferred method or hair removal, but when I’m in a rush, it gets the job done.

Best for your whole body, especially large and flat areas like your arms and legs. It's cheap and effective but often time consuming. If you want to maintain a perfectly smooth body, you’ll have to shave or touch up at least twice a week.

Nair/Chemical Removal.

Cost: $

Speed: Medium

Smoothness: Smooth

Discomfort: Low

Tips/Methods:

* There are many brands but the basic idea is you apply the cream to your skin, wait 5-10 minutes while the hair “melts" off your body, then you wipe it off. You’ll definitely need to shower after using Nair to remove any excess cream and to avoid burning your skin. I would say this is mandatory unless your specific brand says otherwise.

* The process will probably smell pretty bad. You'll want to wipe the cream and hair off with something disposable to avoid ruining your regular towels. I personally use tissue, you can use anything easily accessible.

* PATCH TEST BEFORE USE. These creams and powders are made from very really strong chemicals and can absolutely mess you up if you aren't careful. Everyone's skin is different, so put a little on your arm first, see how it reacts, then use it on a larger area.

Best For: Armpits and pubic hair. I find these creams are best at getting hard to reach or uneven surfaces that your razor might struggle with. This is also a good option if you are in a hurry or don't have the option to try the options below.

Epilation.

Cost: $$

Speed: Slow

Smoothness: High

Discomfort: High

Tips/Methods:

* Epilators look kind of like foil shavers you'd use for your face, but the end has a roller with tiny clamps that essentially grab hairs and pull them out.

* Personally I think these hurt like a bitch, especially the first time you use them. You can definitely feel each individual hair get pulled out of your skin.

* The main benefit of an epilator (and waxing, discussed below) is that you're pulling the entire hair out, root and all. This means hair in that area will grow back significantly slower than shaving. It also means that if you're willing to commit to a routine, each future use with the epilator will be less painful.

* I highly recommend icing the area before and after to avoid swelling. That being said, the area needs to be completely dry for the device to work.

* Epilator performance has always been pretty hit and miss for me. They're good at getting coarse hair, but will struggle to get fine or short strands. Again, you will likely need to make a shaving pass to clean up anything left behind.

* Additionally, if your hair is too thick or the surface is too uneven, the epilator can get tangled and stop functioning leading to a super painful situation. As with any of these tips, definitely test on a small area and see how it performs for you so you can get a feel for the length/thickness your device can handle.

Best For: Flat smooth surfaces, primarily your arms, legs, and torso. Some people really love epilation, others don’t. I think epilation is an acquired taste and it’s not my favorite method.

Waxing.

Cost: $$ to $$$

Speed: Slow

Smoothness: High

Discomfort: High

Tips/Methods:

* When you need to get 100% smooth there is no substitute. I love the way my body feels after waxing or sugaring and it’s what works best for me.

* I'll do my best here as a general overview but please watch some video guides before attempting this. I'll cover the two most common options I have experience with: soft wax, sugaring, and hard wax.

* Soft Wax: Hot wax is applied to the skin, then bandage strips are applied over. Once the wax cools, the strips are pulled off, taking the hair with them. This method is probably what you've seen in movies. They're good for getting rid of finer hairs, but unlike hard wax, you risk taking off your skin if you do it wrong. If you're trying waxing at home (especially for the first time), avoid this option. Despite the name, hard wax is actually much safer and what I recommend

* Hard wax: Hot wax is applied to the skin. Once it hardens, you peel the wax off by itself, taking hair with it. Since hard wax only bonds to hair and not skin it's a much safer option for beginners and does just as good a job removing hair as soft wax. This is what I use when I don’t have time to make my sugaring solution and I've never looked back.

* Wax is warmed in a... wax warmer! It's a little pot with a heating element, kind of like a croc pot. Hard waxes come in pellets that you dump in, soft waxes usually come with their own container that pops into the unit. Look for a wax warmer that can adjust the temp, not just an on/off switch. Most but not all have this feature. Each wax brand is different so you'll need more/less heat to melt it correctly, especially if you're doing a longer session where the wax can begin to solidify in the pot.

* Popsicle sticks are a cheap, effective way to apply wax. You'll want something disposable as it can get quite messy.

* Waxing, like epilators, will slow down your hair growth. This means the more you do it in the same area the less hair will grow back, and the less painful each subsequent application will be.

* Your hair needs to be a certain length for the wax to catch, so check your brand and plan accordingly. My professional technician has mentioned 1/4th inch is a good guideline for when to start waxing.

* As with every method on this list, please test on a small part of your body first. The wax will be quite hot (like getting into a hot bath) but not so much that it burns your skin.

Best For: any area you want super smooth or silky.

Laser Hair Removal.

Cost: $$$$

Speed: Slow

Smoothness: Depends.

Discomfort: High

Tips/Methods:

* Getting started will take some time and effort. You have to set up a consultation beforehand before even scheduling a session where you'll talk to the professional, ask any questions, then work out your plan.

* Laser hair removal is a process over time, not a one and done. Considering each session can cost hundreds of dollars, we are talking a huge investment. It cost me $800 over 4 sessions just for a small area on my lower body. For larger areas, we could be talking thousands!

* On that note, the total cost is going to vary a ton. Not only will each area be priced differently, but most places require you to book multiple sessions in a row or packages of X sessions you can choose to use over a year.

* The pigment of your skin matters a lot. Generally speaking the darker your skin the harder/less effective the process will be. There are different types of lasers available that may make this irrelevant but you'll definitely want to do your homework.

Final Thoughts.

What matters most is time. If you have the time to wax or shave your whole body, go to a professional for laser hair removal or pro waxing, or epilate yourself, then you’ll have much better results than someone who rushes through everything. Learning, investing in quality products, and then actually investing time into the hair removal process will get you closer to where you want to be without wasting as much time or money as you would leaping in blind or with no effort.

I looked out over the beautiful expanse, bathed in soft yellow moonlight till it was almost as light as day. In the soft light the distant hills became melted, and the shadows in the valleys and gorges of velvety blackness. The mere beauty seemed to cheer me; there was peace and comfort in every breath I drew.

Jonathan Harker: "Yes I am a prisoner. Yes, my legal services are complete now. Yes, I just wrote a letter that I am fine and staying over, and therefore can I be disposed of any day now. Yes, my sleep schedule is screwed because I stay up all night with my captor and play nice.

But this shan't stop me from waxing poetic about the velvet darkness over nature and the soft moonlight!"

Everyday Items of Calorum

“A world made of food is a world of endless innovation.”

In Calorum, where stone, metal, and wood do not exist, everyday tools, weapons, and household goods must be crafted from organic materials, foodstuffs, and enchanted culinary creations. Below is a collection of mundane items, reimagined through the lens of a world where cheese is stronger than steel, sugar can be spun into silk, and bone is the foundation of civilization.

---

Common Tools & Equipment

Cheese-Wax Candles (Lanterns & Light Sources)

"The soft glow of a gently burning cheese-wax candle fills the room, its scent a delicate balance of aged gouda and warm butter."

Made from rendered cheese fat and beeswax, these candles burn cleanly and double as emergency rations.

Special Variant: Blue Vein Candles glow with a faint, eerie light, said to be favored by Mold Cultists.

---

Hardened Biscuit Plates (Shields & Armor Reinforcements)

"The knight's shield, once fresh-baked, now bears the hardened crust of a hundred battles."

Crafted from overbaked, reinforced hardtack, these shields are remarkably durable and often chewed on in moments of desperation.

Special Variant: Aged in a buttermilk brine, granting resistance to water damage.

---

Candy-Glass Windowpanes (Glass Substitutes)

"The stained candy-glass of the chapel shimmers with hues of spun sugar and hardened syrup."

Sugar-crystallized sheets used for windows, delicate but incredibly decorative.

Special Variant: Some nobles commission “Heatproof Caramel Glass”, which is less likely to melt in summer.

---

Salt-Brick Walls (Masonry & Construction Materials)

"The walls of the stronghold glisten in the torchlight, each salt-brick carved with prayers to keep the damp away."

Pressed and dried bricks of hardened salt, reinforced with dairy mortar to prevent crumbling.

Special Variant: “Spiced Walls” absorb moisture and fill rooms with a faint scent of rosemary and thyme.

---

Licorice Rope (Common Ropes & Climbing Gear)

"The rope stretches, slightly pliant, but strong enough to hold a man’s weight."

Woven from thick strands of black licorice, it is surprisingly durable and often chewed on absentmindedly by sailors and thieves.

Special Variant: Cinnamon-Spiced Rope burns hot and fast when ignited, making it useful in sabotage.

---

Milk-Paper Scrolls (Paper & Parchment Substitutes)

"The contract is written on a thin sheet of hardened cream, the ink settling into its buttery surface."

Made from dried sheets of skimmed milk, these scrolls resist water but crumble when exposed to fire.

Special Variant: “Aged Brie Parchment” retains a faint smell, making them difficult to forge—a trained nose can tell a real document from a fake.

---

Weapons & Armor

Hardened Bread Clubs (Common Blunt Weapons)

"The brigand hefts a club of stale sourdough, its jagged edges sharp enough to break bone."

Crafted from bread aged into rock-like hardness, these weapons are cheap, disposable, and—if desperate—edible.

Special Variant: Honeyed Rye Mace – Infused with honey, making it sticky enough to disarm opponents.

---

Bone-Lattice Helmets (Common Head Protection)

"The warrior’s helmet is a lattice of knotted ribs and sinew, bound together with aged cheese wax."

Woven from cured bone and tendon, these helmets are lightweight yet durable.

Special Variant: Candied Skullcaps—coated in hardened sugar, which shatters dramatically but absorbs one solid blow.

---

Meat Jerky Slings (Ranged Weapons)

"The hunter loads his sling with a dense, rock-hard chunk of dried venison, snapping it toward his target."

Used by Meatfolk hunters, these slings fire hardened jerky projectiles, which can also be eaten in dire situations.

Special Variant: Pepper-Cured Ammo – Hits leave a burning irritation in open wounds.

---

Candy-Glass Knives (Common Bladed Weapons)

"The merchant’s dagger, spun from rock candy, gleams with a crystalline shimmer."

Made from sugar, syrup, and heat-forged enchantments, these knives shatter after a few strikes but cut incredibly well.

Special Variant: Peppermint Daggers—deal extra cold damage on a critical hit.

---

Adventuring Gear

Preserved Cheese-Wax Cloaks (Common Cold-Weather Gear)

"The cloak is heavy and warm, its waxed surface repelling rain and preserving the faint scent of aged cheddar."

Lined with hardened cheese wax, these cloaks are weather-resistant and slightly edible in emergencies.

Special Variant: Blue Cheese Furs—emit a strong, pungent scent, keeping wild beasts at bay.

---

Spongecake Cushions (Common Mattresses & Padding)

"The traveler collapses onto the soft spongecake bed, sinking into its pillowy embrace."

Made from resilient spongecake, these cushions absorb shock incredibly well and are sometimes used in armor padding.

Special Variant: Rum-Soaked Bedding – Retains warmth in cold climates but highly flammable.

---

Whey-Skin Waterskins (Common Drinking Containers)

"The waterskin is supple, its outer layer crafted from the dried skins of cheese curds."

Made from pressed whey curd, these waterskins retain a faint, nutty flavor.

Special Variant: Sourmilk Skins – Can be fermented into drinkable yogurt if left untouched for a few days.

---

Gummy Bandages (Common Healing Aids)

"The healer presses a strip of pliant gummy to the wound, sealing it with sticky resilience."

Crafted from soft gelatin and medicinal herbs, these bandages adhere naturally and provide mild pain relief when licked.

Special Variant: Honeycomb Wraps – Slow bleeding twice as effectively but attract insects if left uncovered.

---

Household Items & Currency

Caramel-Wax Seals (Letters & Royal Edicts)

"The letter is stamped with a swirl of hardened caramel, its glossy surface marking the sender’s authority."

Used for sealing scrolls and messages, the wax is chewable and dissolves in hot water.

Special Variant: Spiced Ginger Seals – Infused with heat-activated cinnamon, causing slight burns to unauthorized handlers.

---

Cured Meat Coins (Currency of the Meat Lands)

"The merchant bites into the edge of the coin, testing the salt-curing before nodding in approval."

Instead of metal, the Meat Lands use thin, hardened slices of cured meat as currency.

Special Variant: Aged Bone Tokens – More valuable, harder to counterfeit.

Hey, I have the same birthday as Remus can you maybe do a little blurb or something about that, thank you <3

happy (late) birthday remus!! i would have posted this yesterday but i've been writing my blurbs a few days in advance now, so i had to slip this in late </3 and happy birthday to you, too, anon!!!! i hope you had a fantastic day :D

Your faces burn hot with both bashfulness and the flames of your candles. James and Sirius had tried cramming both of your ages onto the cake, and the candles are giving off quite an impressive glow.

James's singing is overzealous, and Sirius only adds fuel to the fire. They end in harmony, or attempted harmony, hands over their hearts and faces pressed cheek-to-cheek.

"Very impressive vocals," You gleam at the pair, "But the wax is starting to melt. Can we take them out now?"

"Make a wish first, darling," Remus elbows you, a party hat strapped to his head.

"Oh! Right," You let your eyes flutter shut, listening to James and Sirius's countdown. On 'go!' you blow out the candles, hearing a gush of air from Remus as well. You'd wished for a permanent spot in this little family of yours, but you're certain you already have it.

"Alright," Sirius reaches for the smoking candles, "Prongs, don't eat the frosting 'til I get back, okay? The birthday twins need to go first."

"I've already had some of the frosting," James shrugs at Sirius's teasing as the man disposes of the candles, "I don't need to steal it."

"Now," The curly-haired man turns back to you with a delivish grin, "We're making frosting art."

With a quick swipe of James's pointer finger through the frosting, he paints half of a heart on your cheek. Remus knows what to do without even asking, leaning in to smoosh his face to yours. You giggle at the warmth that exudes from him, and when he pulls away you feel a slight resistance, the frosting sticking to both of your cheeks.

"Perfect!" James cheers, snapping a picture of your completed frosting heart while Remus keeps his face beside yours, "Now you can eat it."

"C'mere Prongs," Sirius grabs the man's face, smearing frosting on his cheek in a messy set of blobs, "Our turn."

You'd love to have a heartfelt conversation with Remus. You long to gaze into his honey sweet eyes and tell him that he's your light, your life, your saving grace. You want to hold his hands, kiss his chocolate-flavored lips, and mold yourselves together to become one big lump of love. Instead, you watch as Sirius smashes his face to James, then pulls away to showcase their joint frosting-penis.

"Happy Birthday, lovebirds," James grins, eyes scrunching at the corners, "Y/N, I hope Remus's is as delicious as this one."

Can you possibly expand on the type of alchemy/ sex magick? Such as potions or spells that directly help with putting on plot of weight? I’ve always wanted to get more info regarding spells or incantations that help with weight gain. Don’t worry I’m looking for reference for myself and personal use. Anyway I love your blog and thankful for any insight 🖤

Feedee weight gain ritual from a theistic Satanist and herbal alchemist. 200 lbs gained in 15 months

The response on my post regarding weight gain and witchcraft has been incredible! So here’s some information on how I’ve gone about my weight gain rituals in the past. Please be aware that this is not for the uninitiated, results will vary depending on your methods. At the end of the post, I provide names of the demonic divine and herbal correspondences best suited for this working. This is thoroughly intended for you to customise to your liking!

Cross small bones (chicken leg bones will work) and bind them together tightly with the red yarn. This is your doll’s skeleton. Wrap fabric around the outside of your doll, bind with red yarn while retaining the humanoid/cross shape. This does not need to look pretty, but it must roughly resemble a person in crucifixion pose. The bones symbolise your skeletal system, the yarn symbolises your nervous system, and the fabric symbolises skin and fat. Consecrate it with a drop of your blood. Take your chosen herbal mixture and mix with melted lard, pour this over your doll. Wrap and tie more fabric to the midsection of your doll overtop of the lard and herbs to “fatten” it.

Take a piece of paper, write your name and date of birth. Then the amount of weight you intend to gain over what period of time. And the sigil of whoever you’re working under. Burn the paper in a small dish. Add a herbal oil of your choosing to the ashes and dress your candle with the mixture. Dress your candle with saliva and cum. Drip the candle on your doll, then on the areas of your body you want to gain the most weight. This will sting, but it will not hurt nor leave a burn. Close the ritual and remove the wax from yourself. Sleep with the doll beside your bed.

In the coming days, repeat the process of dripping the lard and herbs, wrapping the doll and dripping the wax over you and it until you are satisfied with the doll’s “weight gain”. Leave offerings as curtesy to the demonic force aiding you every time you repeat the cycle. Hard liquor, tobacco/cigars, blood, nice chocolate, etc. Keep the doll in a place hidden from anything or anyone that could interfere. Dispose of it at the crossroads with a good offering when you have gained your desired amount of weight.

Lust and gluttony demons:

This is obviously not for the uninitiated, if you don’t know how to contact a demon respectfully and you don’t know how to control, manipulate and transmute energy, it has high chance of going horribly wrong. If you insist on doing it regardless, at the very least do your own research.

Welcome to NaClYoHo Day 3, where we find out that Past Sam was an exceptionally thoughtful dude, while listening to How Did This Get Made's live "New York Ninja" episode that just aired.

I was dreading today's task, which was to do the summer-to-winter clothing changeover; when the weather turns cold in climates with actual seasonal change you pack away your lightweight clothes and get out the sweaters and such. But it turns out last year I was a fucking genius and not only did I pack all the winter clothes into one box so I don't even have to pull out the under-bed storage anymore, I even made a note in my running cleaning list to remind myself of the fact when it came time to do the changeover.

So all I had to do was pull the blue canvas bin out of the closet, unload it, and load in all the summer clothes. I didn't know if I'd have time to do anything else but it took like, 20 minutes, and that includes trying on all the clothes to make sure they fit. (I've dropped a few pounds since last winter.) So I also went through my closet, pulled out every shirt that either didn't fit or I don't like wearing, and purged a bunch of coat hangers. I'm trying to change over completely from wire hangers to plastic, the kind with the notches that you can hook things onto, although I'm thwarted at the moment by the fact that it's remarkably difficult to find them for sale.

What I DID get at Target is a snappy new "lantern" wax warmer, which is currently melting some scented wax in the hopes it will make my home smell nice. I also picked up a new surge protector that plugs in at the outlet, so now my heated pad and the extension cord for the movie projector are tidier, plus the charging cords for the bedside table are no longer plugged into a USB hub that itself is plugged into an ancient power strip that I've had since grad school. Farewell, gross firetrap!

I didn't get about 80% of what I went to Target for (they didn't have coat hangers, nishiki rice, or bread flour, and I forgot to look for snacky foods) but I got the things I really needed and I'm counting it as a "hardware store" trip on account of it. I didn't time the trip, but the non-shopping portion of the day's work took about an hour of a 90 minute podcast.

Disposable gloves used: Still only 1!

Trips to the hardware store: 2.

this was lost in my blog and has a bad link and I can’t find it so I’m reposting it— @pastel-pillows, this is for you

billy x eddie x fem! reader

tw: no minors— threesome, handcuffs, subby whimpering boys at your disposal

a/n: I wrote this when I had 200 followers lmao so I was very new to writing 💋

He wasn’t used to the bite. The cold metal of the handcuffs piercing into his wrists as you cuffed them to the bed posts.

“Look at my boys, so pretty and so fuckin dumb.” You had two of the worst reputations in Hawkins at your beck and call. It started out by accident, Eddie was your regular Friday night delight. In an exchange for drugs, you gave him the sloppiest head he had ever received, or let him fondle your tits as you rode your wet cunt into his thigh. On one particular night things got out of hand.

You were doing your usual gluggy glug down on Eddie’s perfect pink mushroomed head, your hands resting on his thighs helping hold yourself up, as he held you by your waist, your squishy thighs sitting on his shoulders and wrapped around his head, his face buried deep in your cunt, when Billy Hargrove burst into Eddie’s room, higher than a kite and already half hard.

“I recognized that moan from across the trailer park, honey. Didn’t know you were fuckin’ him too.”

“Strictly business,” you muffle around Eddie’s cock managing to pop it out of your mouth, Eddie’s magic tongue refusing to stop on your dripping wet pussy, “ ‘e’s got the best weed in Hawkins, oh fuck, and I’m broke.” Billy was your arm candy, the one to drive all the girls at school insane wondering how he was yours, the one you fucked beneath the bleachers during your free period.

Eddie brings your legs down so you’re sitting on his lap, he kisses into your neck and you lean back into him, whisper into his ear, he nods in agreement. Hopping off of Eddie’s lap, you saunter over to Billy and grab him by the cheap material of his collared shirt. “Join us, baby,” you whispered devilishly into his ear. Always intrigued by a threesome but never having done it. This would be a first.

-

Billy is cuffed to the bed, wearing nothing but his necklace. An eager expression on his face as you tease him. The hot wax you had spilled delicately on his chest was beginning to harden as the ice in your mouth cooled around his stiff cock. Little whimpers escaped Billy’s mouth as Eddie bucked into your weeping pussy.

“Shit,” Billy hisses, “s-so cold.” Goosebumps pepper his body as your hot tongue slurps the melted ice around and around his piercing. Your mouth; a makeshift ice and spit tornado consuming his cock. You rake your ruby red nails down his chest as you swallow him whole, ice cube and all.

“Fuck baby, you’re so tight.” Eddie pants, his hair is sweaty and the fringe of his bangs is stuck to his face. His fingers dig into your hips as you grind your ass back into him, the black gemstone plug you’ve had in your ass since you first came over here; scraping gently against his lower belly. He tugs on it slowly, licking his lips your tight hole puckers around it, causing you to moan against BIlly’s balls as you slowly suck them into your mouth.

“I think you’re ready, baby.” Eddie groans as he slams his cock into you harshly. You spit generously on Billy’s cock as you sit up, Eddie arranging himself as you move your knees on either side of Billy’s waist.

He hisses as you line his length against your pussy, your folds wrapping around him like a present as you wiggle his cock back and forth against you, the cold sting of his piercing biting at your clit as you moaned and pinched your nipple. “Honey, you keep doing that and I’m gonna bust before you even begin.”

You lean forward and kiss him deeply on his neck, licking the shell of his ear and biting his earring as you tug it slowly through your teeth. Eddie’s hands are pulling your hips back helping you straddle Billy and slink down on his cock.

“Mmm.. fuck,” you whine, as Billy thrusts his hips into you. Eddie is teasing you with the plug, gently pulling and twisting it around waiting for confirmation to pull it out and slide himself in. “Eddie—m’ ready,” your fingers are clinging to Billy’s chest as you lean forward for Eddie.

The warm flow of lube hits your ass cheeks as he rubs it in. Slapping your ass and groaning as it jiggles under his hand. He teases it out from your clenched hole, mouth agape as you pucker it into a beautiful kiss. Eddie’s hand is around his cock thickly as he positions the reddened head against your ass. He pushes himself in slowly, the pressure of Billy’s lengthy dick stuffed into your pussy and the beginning of Eddie’s thick cock in your ass is mind blowing. The feeling almost euphoric.

Eddie slides himself further into your perfect hole with the help of the lube, you moan and clench around them both as you try to even your breathing. “You’re doing so good for us baby, taking us so well.” He hums against your ear.

Billy’s face is contorted as he rattles his wrists against the handcuffs, “you look so g--, fuck, I wanna squeeze those tits, Eddie, you’re missin’ out on how pretty she looks as we have her stuffed full.”

Stuffed full indeed, Eddie shoved himself all the way in, your body feels like it’s being jack-knived, split open by the two worst men in Hawkins, and you loved every single second of it. The room is quickly filled with everyone’s moans as you all move your bodies together cohesively, trying to get a rhythm. Finally finding it best that you stay still and they do all the work as you're glorified by their praises.

You feel like a goddess. High on lust and power as they both fuck into you, filling you full again and again. The rhythm of their dicks syncing together; snapping in and out of you, engorging your walls and pressing deep inside of you. Billy is pouring sweat beneath you, his bottom lip curled between his teeth, as he tries to stifle a moan. Eddie’s hands are around your waist and your neck as he hammers into you, his breath heavy on your neck as he moans into it. You never would have thought coming over for weed would end like this, first time having a threesome, and the first time you’ve had anal. You wouldn’t have picked two better men to do this with.

The tight coil in your belly is ready to snap but you’re so fucked out you can’t even express it. Your eyes have rolled into the back of your head, your fingers teasing around your clit as Billy breaks first. He cums hard bucking his hips into you. Small moans escape his lips as he moans your name, the rattling of the handcuffs on the bed posts quickening then slowing down as his body shakes beneath you. You lean forward and kiss him passionately on the lips, his mustache tickling your lips as you fall apart. Eddie is slamming his cock into your tight hole harder than before, you’re crying out as you cum on Billy’s softening cock, the combination of your slick and his cum oozing down his length.

Eddie slaps your ass as you take every inch of him deep inside of you, “you like that baby, want me to cum for you? Would that make my perfect girl happy?” You whimper as you nod, you are slumped forward laying chest to chest with Billy as Eddie’s hot cum fills you up. “Oh fuck,” Eddie stutters as his cock twitches.

The sensation is pornographic, leaking from every hole, both filled with cum so thick it could ice a wedding cake. Eddie lays back on his bed, all three of you completely spent, fucked out and in total bliss.

Do you think Armand ever helped Daniel manscape? Or subjected him to it 😬 Its’s mentioned that he often bathed, shaved and dressed him to his liking and I see Armand as the type of lover who would obsess over and hyper fixate on every part of his partner’s body, pubic hair included 🫢

oh boy anon DO I. Buckle in because i've got THOUGHTS.

so like, shaving his face? absolutely, that started out as a totally benign request when Armand got curious about modern disposable razors. Daniel was down, it's fine, he does half his face to demonstrate and show Armand how to handle the razor and then lets him finish the other half. And it's nice, it kinda makes him feel spoiled to sit on the edge of the tub and let Armand tilt his head around and wipe the shaving cream off his face. He's happy to let Armand have full control over that particular grooming chore.

(Does Armand sometimes nick his jaw? Yes. Does Daniel think that's on purpose so he can lick up the blood? Also yes. Does he care? Not really, secretly it's becoming a turn on.)

Naturally, it escalates.

It starts with shaving Daniel's chest just to see what he'd look like with it smooth. Then it's his armpits, because Armand wants to know what they look like bare and how long it takes for them to grow back (three very fucking itchy weeks, where Daniel can't stop squirming and thinking about Armand every time he tries to sneakily scratch at the stubble through his shirt).

At this point Daniel tells him no shaving below the waist, uh uh, not doing it. He keeps everything trimmed short and that's enough, thank you very much. Obviously Armand takes that as a personal challenge.

(in the end all it takes is a few well placed bites, a whispered "please, lover?" and those big brown eyes looking up at him through dark lashes and Daniel crumbles, but he's never going to admit that)

And so he ends up laid out with his legs spread, ass half in Armand's lap while Armand lathers him up with shaving cream and gets at it. It's weirdly hot, he feels all vulnerable and squirmy and Armand's hands are cold and wet with shaving cream and touching him all over. Daniel notices he's not just being tidied up, Armand is taking everything and he goes to protest. But then Armand strokes him with the shaving cream and his brain melts.

(and does his face burn when Armand asks him to lift his knees to his chest so he can get his ass? absolutely. does Daniel jump to obey anyways? you bet)

By the time Armand wipes him down with the towel he just feels so weird and bare, he's got this urge to put his hands over his lap and hide. And Armand just keeps staring in that way of his making it worse. Daniel feels about ready to curl up and die, but then Armand touches his bare skin and oh it's so sensitive. And then Armand bites him low on his groin where his teeth have never been before and- yeah, okay, maybe this was worth it.

They keep it up for a few weeks, because every time Daniel looks in the mirror and sees himself he feels like Armand's possession and he likes it. They do it again with a straight razor, and then once with wax (which makes Daniel cry and that's the most confusing turn on he's ever had). And then the novelty wears off, until decades later when Daniel is a vampire and he remembers it'll all grow back overnight, no itchy phase needed at all.

But YEAH they're both into it not even just for the grooming itself, but the giving over of control, the intimate secret, the constant awareness Daniel has that he's bare somewhere because Armand wants it and he can't stop thinking about his sensitive newly naked skin.

And they switch once. Armand hands him the razor and it's fun, but Daniel is too into Armand with all of his hair intact for it to be anything but a novelty. He'd much rather trim his hair for him, or pull it back, or get out the manicure kit if he's going to do any grooming stuff for Armand.

HOPE THIS HIT THE SPOT, ANON ♥

I like how the Marquis de Gramont is almost always drowned in a golden sunlight or in yellow lighting or almost always(save for the final scenes) in day scenes. (hes so bbg in this gif)

He’s always drowned in this gold color, almost always seen in luxurious places like the Louvre or the Palais Garnier. Because that’s who he is. Drowning in riches and gold and all that wealth and privilege at his disposal. Never once is he seen doing anything tedious like running from Wick like two of the former antagonists or Killa Harkan.

And it’s symbolic in a way. It’s like Icarus who in trying to fly too close to the sun, his wings collapsed on themselves by their wax melting. It’s kind of like Vincent here. So desperate and so close to killing John Wick, but his ego and his inability to grasp at the situation at hand even just a second earlier leads him to get shot by John.

That’s why in the final duel scene, it’s slowly becoming sunrise. And Vincent knows his control over the situation is faltering and that sunlight is the last hope he has to grasp the last strands of power that he can exert. But that sunlight is no longer his, it’s John’s.

And it adds to the fact why I think the Marquis is my favorite antagonist to have been written in the movie series.

Vincent is almost always in sunlight or surrounded by gold/yellow colors.

John is almost always surrounded by the night and blue/teal colors.

John’s color is teal/blue and Vincent’s is yellow, which are literal opposites on the color wheel.

Every single scene that John Wick has a form of control(agency) in, it’s night time and also has a teal undertone.

John always has agency throughout the entire movie series and when he does lose agency, it’s when he’s truly at his lowest. Like when Iosef killed his dog back in the first movie.

But blue is associated with sadness and combined by the fact John is always wearing black which has traditionally been associated and seen as a sign of mourning. And John is in mourning, Helen died and she’s the reason why John keeps going and keeps pushing.

Which in John Wick 4, the blue slowly starts to seep away leaving John nearer and nearer to sunset.

And it’s not just the Marquis that is coded in sunlight.

It’s also Helen, in the flashbacks of her in the first movie

Now, the Marquis is seen in gold but that lighting is a harsh yellow as if yelling at you that he’s here, and this place is his but not Helen.

Helen’s light is more warm, more softer in contrast to probably the only other character given sunlight to be seen with.

And in the final scene of the duel, John is more than ready to die if that means taking his peace. He’s ready to be with Helen in death. Vincent and some people might think he has control because of the sunlight but that’s Helen.

And to me, it’s both Helen and Vincent this sunlight in the duel scene symbolizes. Vincent’s ego thinking that he has control in this situation and that he’s hopeful. And it’s John thinking about Helen and being hopeful of her. But all in all, sunlight is a new start is symbolizes a new beginning because it’s a new day coming.

anyways yeah i found symbolism in just the color grading of john wick 4

So I bought this candle for my mom for christmas, right? And I didn't think there was going to be anything wrong with it, it's a candle y'know? So I didn't look too closely at it when the package arrived. Now, I bought all my Christmas presents in September cuz I'm crazy like that and I also wanted it over with. So the Amazon return window for this item is gone by quite a bit. And where I live, it was still really ass fuck hot during september. But my dumbass didn't think to carefully inspect this candle when I got it, it's a candle what could be wrong with it?

A-fucking-lot can be wrong with it, I've found. Some of the wax melted and made its way outside of the candle jar itself, but that's okay it came in a little cardboard tube. So I open it up and there's wax on top of this candle. Okay, no big deal, I think. I get a paper plate and a butter knife and just scrape the wax off of the outside of the jar now I pull it out of its tube and find that the jar is very greasy. But that's okay, cuz the jar seems to be covered in plastic wrap. So I try to take the plastic wrap off but it's just about impossible and I realize it's coverd below the lid. But I can't get the lid off yet cuz it's still greasy from wax and I haven't cleaned it fully yet. I have to cut the plastic wrap open with my butter knife and peel it off and the lid only comes off when I peel the plastic wrap up under it.

And what do I see? What do I fucking see? Not just a little bit of the wax has already melted. A lot of it, like half the candle had melted when it was outside my house in the heat when the package came. And all that wax managed to get on top of the plastic wrap. Which I assume was over top of the candle so the candle is practically split in half and it's unusable. Also, I haven't mentioned that this candle has the world's most artificial smelling wax in it.

So what do I have? What do I fucking have? I have a greasy jar full of the world's most artificial smelling wax, and said wax is split into two chunks by plastic wrap. And now this candle, is a parody of a bath and body works candle, like it looks like the bath and body works logo, but instead it says "back and body hurts". Funny, right? Not anymore when it looks like shit and smells like shit.

And since I'm already planning to go to my local Dollar general to get some elements of my step dad's Christmas present (which is, itself, another long story, but at least a funny one) I'm hoping to find something I can give my mother. This candle wasn't her main gift (thank God) but everyone is getting two gifts from me so I can't not replace it.

Another thing, my mother has a crazy weirdly strong sense of smell, and I have an average maybe even below average sense of smell. And I can smell the wax I scraped off of this thing from across my room. And my mother is downstairs in the living room sitting on the couch. The living room is right next to the kitchen. So I need to wait until she goes upstairs to her room before I can take my plate of the world's most artificial smelling wax downstairs because if I take it down while she's down there she will be able to smell it. I'm going to have to sneak downstairs in the dead of night to dispose of this stuff like some kind of fucking spy. And I'm pretty sure she would still be able to smell it if I put it in the regular trash can and left it there, so I'm going to have to stick this in the big trash can in the garage (the one that gets wheeled outside once a week for the garbage men to take) or else she'll be able to smell it and I'll have to explain it.

Once A Rookie Chapter 17: Psalm 18:28

You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.

Beatrice is still stuck in her head. She has a hard conversation with Mother Superion. Shannon makes an attempts braids.

“Trying to see if you have laser vision?” 

Beatrice vaguely registered Shannon’s voice, but only vaguely. Like a sound somehow making it through the insulation of the snow-covered mountains she used to revel in during her time at St. Charles College et Lychee. Like every sound was as subtle as the air rushing past a powerful stroke of the Campus’s resident golden eagle. “Huh?” 

Even the sound of her own voice wasn’t enough to pull her from where she’d allowed herself to get lost. It was more audible than Shannon’s, now. More like her head was below water, the snow melting enough for it. She didn’t like how it vibrated against her ear drums. Too much. Back to the snow, she pleaded. 

“Trouble, if you stare any harder into your cup, I’m afraid you might reboil the tea.” Shannon’s gentle voice pulled her from its racing. Beatrice blinked, for probably the first time in at least a minute, if the stinging dryness in her eyes had anything to say about it, and instead of nothing, she found Shannon to be right. She was staring at the place the tea met the side of the wax paper walls of the disposable cup. 

Beatrice blinked again. The stinging in her eyes somehow shifted—

— wet.  

“Talk to me,” Shannon pleaded, and Beatrice clenched her jaw, willing the wetness away. 

Beatrice shook her head, careful not to let loose any tears. Shannon had made her feelings on the vows more than clear. She didn’t think Beatrice was ready. But that wasn’t exactly true either. What she’d said was “you have time, Beatrice. There is no need to rush into it. No one expects you to rush, no one wants you to rush.”   But all Beatrice was hearing was, “You’re not ready.”  

“Beatrice.” Shannon did what she rarely did without some sort of invitation: she reached out and touched the young sister warrior. It was just as soft as her voice was. Hardly a grazing of fingertips on the back of Beatrice’s hand where it was wrapped around that disposable cup. 

When Beatrice flinched, her arm flexing—hardening—more then pulling away, lest she spill her tea and cause even more of a mess then her emotions already were. The whisper of Shannon’s touch was gone almost as quickly as it had arrived. But it worked. Beatrice looked up at Shannon slowly, her head first before she lifted her eyes to follow. 

A slow entry back to the world.

There she was, just as Shannon always was. A gentle smile on her face. Her head tilted just to the right. Curious. Open. It was like she was saying “Say what you need to say, Little Sister. I’ll still be here after.”  

“It’s the vows still, isn’t it?” 

Beatrice wasn’t sure how Shannon always seemed to know. She hadn’t thought she was that readable. No one had ever read her like this. But Mary and Lilith did it too. And Beatrice was learning that maybe she was readable—a terrifying thought—because if she had always been this readable and no one had ever cared to try… that was somehow worse. 

She nodded. 

Shannon sighed. Her smile shifted in that way it did that made her nose twist with her lips a little bit in a not quite frown, something a little sadder. 

Beatrice looked back at her tea. She’d found she had that effect on Shannon. 

“I will talk to Su— Mother Superion.” Her voice was heavy, resigned to losing this particular battle. Especially if it had Beatrice like this. Retreating back to the quiet girl who had shown up at the gate. The one who’s pain was so loud as it shone in her eyes that all the walls in the world couldn’t drown it out. 

“But you said—” 

“I know.” She still didn’t like it. Beatrice was far too young for it. Nor was she thinking clearly. But if it’s what she wanted, Shannon would not stand in the way of that. She just hoped Suzanne might. Prayed for it even. “You’ll have to talk to her. She will have the final decision.” 

“I understand.” 

That’s how Beatrice found herself in Mother Superion’s office, taken there by reluctant Shannon the next morning. They didn’t talk. Shannon was quiet next to her. Their shoulders bumped occasionally as they walked. It was all the support Shannon could spare for the path Beatrice was choosing. 

Yet, when they had stepped inside that heavy wooden door—foreboding was the word that came to Beatrice’s mind—Shannon had huffed when she’d been nearly immediately dismissed by Suzanne. The protest had fallen from her lips so quickly Shannon hadn’t even realized she was speaking. “I’m staying.” 

She wouldn’t leave Beatrice to Suzanne. Not when Beatrice was this vulnerable. Not the way those dark circles below her eyes made her complexion just a little green, and her eyes just a little duller. It didn’t matter that she didn’t agree with Beatrice’s decision—that didn’t matter. What mattered was her support. 

“If she can’t have this conversation on her own, then she isn’t ready.” While that was true, Suzanne also needed to speak more candidly with Beatrice without the extra ears. Even Shannon’s.

“I’m ready.”
