Merlin as Arthur's familiar/Arthur's shapeshifter falcon AU

LINK TO THE OTHER PARTS: PART 1 , PART 2 , PART 3 , PART 4 , PART 5 (You're here) , PART 6

After the third day Merlin doesn't come back from his visit to Claws' partner, Arthur gets worried and send search parties to look for him. Merlin said he'd be back soon. He wouldn't just leave and abandon him. Something wasn't right. Something bad must have happened. The prince is now in the middle of the Woods shouting his bird's name while other knights keep searching their surroundings.

Arthur: Merlin!

Knight 1: Sire, it's getting late. Maybe we should-

Arthur: No! We're not leaving until we find him!

Knight 2: (approaches running) Sire! I think I found something.

They follow the knight and they find the corpse of a dead merlin and a torn red neckerchief in the grass beside it. There's other corpse of a bigger falcon, obviously not a merlin. The crime scene is clear to Arthur. Both birds died fighting each other.

Arthur:...

Knight 2: I'm really sorry for...uh... your loss, your highness. I know he was very dear to you.

Knight 1: Yeah, he was a.. a really good hunter and... died with dignity! Like a warrior! He was-

Arthur: That's not Merlin.

Knight 2: (surprised) But, sire, the neckerchief is there. It must be him!

Knight 1: And that’s clearly a merlin.

Arthur: Yes, that's the neckerchief and that's a merlin, but it's not MY Merlin. Because THAT merlin is a female.

Arthur can't really blame his knights for not noticing. Even merlins confused Merlin for a female most of the time. But he knew the patern of his feathers well enough. Arthur doesn't know how the neckerchief ended there, but if it is there Merlin can't be far. Soon enough, he hears a familiar chirp.

Merlin: (chirps loudly from a tree)

Arthur: Merlin! (Turns to the sound and, as soon as he lays his eyes on Merlin, he's filled with joy and relief) Thank the gods! What are you doing there? Come down!

Merlin: (shakes his head and chirps in sorrow)

Arthur: (concerned) You can't? Why? Are you hurt?

Knight 1: (whispers to other knight) he's talking to the bird?

Knight 2: Get use to it (looks more carefully the branch Merlin is in) Sire! There's something under the bird.

Knight 1: Wait! Is that a... nest?

Arthur: (in realization, looks at Merlin and then looks at the dead merlin at his feet) Brownie?

Later in Arthur's chambers. Arthur and Morgana comfort a very distraught Merlin who is in his human form holding a nest with 5 eggs as close and as carefully as he can. The three are sitting on the bed.

Merlin: (sad but with no tears left to share) I was too late. I couldn’t save her. And the eggs were alone and needed incubation so I couldn’t leave either. I'm sorry I worried you.

Morgana: (with a hand on his shoulder) We completely understand, Merlin. Don't worry.

Arthur: (with an arm wrap around Merlin) I wish I had come sooner. You shouldn't have grieved Brownie alone. (Confused) Why couldn't you just use magic to transport yourself and the eggs here if you didn't want to leave them? You've done that before.

Merlin: (looks at the nest) Eggs are so fragile, I didn't want to risk them breaking in the way. Besides... (cuts himself and blushes a little)

Arthur: What?

Merlin: (smiles at Arthur) I knew you would come for me.

Arthur: (looks at him lovinly) wait (sudden realization) you didn't leave the nest at all? How did you eat?

Merlin: ...

Arthur: (sighs) I'll bring you some food. Want something in particular?

Merlin: Larks, please 🥺

Arthur: (doubts for a second but then kisses him quickly on the cheek before leaving)

Merlin:... 😳😊☺️

Morgana: Are you going to put those little ones somewhere?

Merlin: (looks around) I think Arthur's window is a good place. Do you think he'll mind?

Morgana: I'll make sure he won’t.

Later. Arthur and Morgana at Claws' grave now also Brownie's grave.

Arthur: At least now they are together.

Morgana: Well done, Arthur. Now you left 5 merlin chicks orphan.

Arthur: (ofended) Hey! Brownie's death wasn't my fault!

Morgana: But if you hadn't killed Claws, he would've been able to protect Brownie and his eggs!

Arthur: Oh, come on! That falcon was more than twice his size. He wouldn't have had a chance.

Morgana: Well, now we'll never know. (Sighs) How did Uther react when you told him you brought a nest with 5 merlin eggs with you?

Arthur:...

Morgana: You haven't told him?! 😨

Arthur: You know how much I had to fight for him to let me keep Merlin! You think he's going to let me keep 5 more?

Morgana: So what are you planning to do?

Arthur: Well, merlin eggs hatch in days time. We can hide them until then. Once they are out of their shell I can leave them in the wood-

Morgana: Oh, no. You're not abandoning those merlins! You killed their parents so now you are going to take responsibility!

Arthur: But-

Morgana: Responsability I said! Now if you excuse me, I'm going to make five more neckerchiefs (she leaves)

Arthur: ...

Arthur: What just happened? 😧

[la-chacha-gris]

It's been a while since I posted material from my DMs in this informal section that forms the 'cebraconversations' tag (the collection tagged here). Last night I received some questions, somewhat redundant both among themselves and within the conversation itself, and it would be a shame if others potentially interested in the answer missed them or if I had to repeat myself by giving it again. So I said I'd answer it here and my interlocutor's questions are in bold and italics.

Hace tiempo que no publicaba material de mis DM en esta informal sección que forma la tag 'cebraconversations' (la colección etiquetada aquí). Anoche me dejaron unas preguntas, algo redundantes entre sí y con la propia conversación y sería una pena que otros posibles interesados en la respuesta se la pierdan o que yo tenga que repetirme dándola de nuevo. Así que dije que le contestaría aquí. Las preguntas de mi interlocutor están en negrita y cursiva.

If you try to explore the relationship between porn and pop culture and avoid offending your audience, it speaks volumes about the limited popular acceptance of beauty. We all know this, and your blog perpetuates this ideal by excluding curvy women. Can't curvy women enjoy lingerie, be attractive, and also be widely accepted? Do your blog and research also seek to challenge current ideas?

I used the word "offend" out of laziness, getting that from Google Translate; a better word would be "dissuade." I already explained, but I'll recap. (1) It's a matter of digital marketing or positioning; photos of more limited or niche taste attract and retain fewer viewers. (2) I study or comment on what exists, so if there's less of something in the market or culture, it will be seen as lesser. The average Tumblr user uses their blog to collect photos without commenting; their blogs are a showcase of their personal tastes. This isn't my case, and this causes confusion, I understand. Remember, you yourself told me you assumed I was a lesbian. This could be reason 3.

Si intentas explorar la relación entre el porno y la cultura pop y evitas ofender a tu público, eso dice mucho sobre la limitada aceptación popular de la belleza. Todos lo sabemos, y tu blog perpetúa este ideal al excluir a las mujeres con curvas. ¿Acaso las mujeres con curvas no pueden disfrutar de la lencería, ser atractivas y, además, ser ampliamente aceptadas? ¿Tu blog e investigación también buscan desafiar las ideas actuales?

Usaba la palabra ofender por pereza obteniendo eso de google translate, mejor palabra sería disuadir. Ya expliqué, pero recapitulo. (1) Es una cuestión de marketing digital o posicionamiento, fotos de gusto más limitado o de nicho atraen y retienen menos audiencia. (2) Estudio o comento lo existente, por tanto si hay menos de algo en mercado o cultura, se verá memos por aquí. El usuario medio de tumblr usa el propio blog para coleccionar fotos sin comentar, sus blogs son un escaparate de sus gustos personales. No es mi caso, y esto causa confusión, entiendo. Recurda que tú mismo me dijiste que suponias que era lesbiana. Esto podría ser la razon 3

Just to give my opinion, you could also say I'm asexual because most of the images published are isolated nude people. Statements or positions have been made here about LGBT rights and different types of attractive bodies; there are 10,600 posts right now; you can check them out. But I won't insist because it's not my main topic. People don't want sermons (and I already give them plenty of long speeches), and in their narrow-mindedness, such that they continually call me a lesbian, they would like to explain my privacy concerns by saying I'm ugly and fat, when what actually happens is that I already get too much attention not-in-the-way-I-want and, of course, sexual harassment. I dedicate myself to disseminating the topics I address on my blog. I'm also a feminist, but I don't make providing texts and authors of the movement a main topic of this blog about culture and desire. I try to gain peace and retain an audience so I can dedicate myself to what I want to tell and have people there who can read me.

Por opinar gratuitamente, también podría decirse que soy asexual porque la mayoría de las figuras publicadas son personas desnudas aisladas. Se han hecho aquí aseveraciones o posicionamientos sobre derechos LGBT y distintos tipos de cuerpos atractivos, hay 10.600 post ahora mismo, puedes revisarlos. Pero no insisto porque no es mi tema principal, la gente no quiere sermones (y ya les doy muchos largos discursos) y en su cortedad de miras tal que continuamente me dicen lesbiana, querrían explicarse mi cuidado con mi intimidad a que soy fea y gorda cuando lo que ocurre es que ya obtengo demasiada atención no-en-la-forma-que-querría y claro acoso sexual. Me dedico a hacer divulgación en mi blog de los temas que indico. También soy feminista pero no convierto dar textos y autoras del movimiento en un tema principal de este blog sobre cultura y deseo. Procuro ganar paz y retener público para poder dedicarme a lo que quiero contar y que haya gente ahí que pueda leerme.

You mustn't be associated with research environments. I already do mine poorly, because I investigate too many things, and that means almost not going in depth at all. I have to limit my topics if I hope to make any progress; I can't talk about everything. Another thing is that the presence of something in dissemination or awareness doesn't validate, much less perpetuate, anything: if I dedicated my blog to addressing sexual violence anthropologically or legally, I wouldn't say I was "perpetuating" rape. If I dedicated myself to analyzing and addressing "broad-spectrum erotica?", then so-called normative bodies and mainstream pornography will abound, and if alternatives to this appear, like Erika Lust's work, it will be precisely to explain how they deviate from the norm, helping to see that standard that people aren't aware of in the erotica they consume and believe to be the only one, without it having manners, codes, or other ways of being that they choose not to accept.

No debes estar relacionado con entornos de investigación. Yo ya hago mal las mías, porque indago demasiadas cosas y eso es casi no profundizar en nada. Tengo que limitar mis temas si espero hacer algún progreso, no puedo hablar de todo. Otra cosa es que la presencia de algo en divulgación o concienciación no supone validar y menos aún perpetuar nada: si dedicara mi blog a tratar la violencia sexual de forma antropológica o legal, no diría que estoy 'perpetuando' la violación. Si me dedico a analizar y tratar ¿erotica de amplio espectro? pues abundarán los llamados cuerpos normativos y la pornografía mainstream, y si aparecen alternativas a esto como el trabajo de Erika Lust; será precisamente para explicar como se salen de lo habitual ayudando ello a ver ese estándar que la gente no es consciente en la erotica que consumen y creen la única sin que esta tenga maneras, código u otras formas de ser que elige no tomar.

Personally, I like toned and beautiful women like the ones you post. Their bodies are heaven on earth. So it's not a personal preference, but rather research. Have you considered why you exclude those images?

Yes, I've answered this twice, but the first one wasn't enough for you. Now you're answering yourself, and highlighting it prompts me to do it a third time. You like what I decide to post. You discover my blog, you follow it, you comment and comment, you look for ways to get me to send you DMs… Would my work have gotten so much interest adorned with scenes of bodies and genders you don't like? That's it. You call asking me why I don't post something research, and I've thought of reasons. I've answered you, but to investigate, you'll have to ask the same predetermined questions to selected girl bloggers. Keep me informed of the collated responses and share the raw data pool. THAT'S research, unless you're a random, penetrating commentator (just another one) writing in their own language, not mine, asking unasked questions at four or five in the morning. In this case, you're questioning me about whether I reflect on what I publish and suggesting that I perpetuate a problem about women. You said you were challenging me; I'm not mad, and I've responded. Now I'm giving you another one: do some real research, following what I said above. I look forward to hearing from you, bye!

Personalmente, me gustan las mujeres tonificadas y hermosas como las que publicas. Sus cuerpos son el paraíso terrenal. Así que no es una preferencia personal, sino una investigación, ¿has considerado por qué excluyes esas imágenes?

Sí, he respondido 2 veces con esta, pero no te bastó la primera. Ahora te contestas solo y remarcarlo me lleva a hacerlo una tercera vez. Te gusta lo que decido publicar. Descubres mi blog, lo sigues, comentas y comentas, buscas como conseguir enviarme DM… ¿habría conseguido tanto interés mi trabajo adornado con escenas de cuerpos y géneros que NO te gustan? Pues eso.

Llamas investigación a preguntarme por qué no pongo algo y se he pensado en razones. Te he respondido, pero para investigar tendrás que hacer las mismas preguntas prefijadas a girlbloggers seleccionadas. Tenme informada de las respuestas cotejadas y comparte el pool de data en bruto. ESO es investigación, si no eres un peneportante random (uno más) que escribe en su idioma y no el mío preguntas no pedidas a las cuatro o cinco antes del amanecer y en este caso me cuestionas si medito lo que publico y planteas que eternizo un problema sobre las mujeres. Decías que me hacías un 'desafío', no me enfado y he respondido, ahora te devuelvo yo otro: haz investigación de verdad, siguiendo lo que he dicho más arriba. Espero noticias, ciao!

I have the headcannon that Wilde and Carter actually know way more about ships than they show and are fully making egregious mistakes for the sake of annoying Zolf and Barnes:

"I could be a good pirate." Wilde says. " Ship work it's all just tying ropes and I have a lot of bondage experience."

Zolf is red on the face. Barnes looks like he wants to throw up.

"Ah, c'mon, Wilde, don't be silly." Carter says in a very serius matter of fact tone. "You're ofending our boat guys. Everyone knows the ropes on ships are just decorative."

Zolf is fully ready to punch someone. Barnes has the biggest 'are you guys for real' expression possible.

After Carter and Wilde share a drink and high five.

What are the batfamily's thoughts on Taylor Swift?

I think Bruce would dislike her the most but not because he thinks she's bad, but because his kids listen to her so much and people *cough* Dick *cough* talk about her incessantly that it's become annoying and if he hears Dick scream "Hey, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22!" at the top of his lungs one more time he's going to lash out.

Damian probably pretends he doesn't like her. I don't think he listens to Taylor, but after Dick forced him to listen to every single song on the Folklore album he's gained some respect for her writing, that album is really relatable, many songs talk about mental health and some other stuff I think Damian would relate to.

Jason, on the other hand, is the secret swiftie. He tells eveyone his favorite band is some rock or heavy metal one like ACDC (which he does like) but meanwhile he's listening to the Speak Now and Reputation albums on repeat.

Cass probably doesn't care about Taylor that much, but she laughs at Bruce's misery and listens to her songs if it means she can spend more time with her siblings and has something to talk about with them.

I think Tim has some very crazy musical taste. I can imagine him having zero playlists, he just hits shuffle on his library and goes for it. So he likes Taylor's songs, but probably wouldn't be able to name her. He's like "oh yeah I like that song, I have it saved on by library but I have no idea of who the singer/band of this one is".

Babs likes Taylor and she has no shame on admitting that. Dick is the one who turned her, obviously. I think she would sit on an armchair, curled up with a book and listen to Evermore as she reads.

Stephanie doesn't think Taylor is bad, but she probably doesn't like her as much as some of the other members of family do. Maybe she has like, five Taylor songs in her library that she (secretly, she didn't want him to know and freak out) saw Jason listen to that she couldn't deny were good, but she doesn't activelly listens to Taylor.

Alfred, well, he isn't a pop guy, but he obviously knows eveything that there is to know about Taylor because Dick is a millenial and he would spend hours talking about Taylor to Aflie when Bruce got tired of him.

He got curious one day and listened to some of her songs. They weren't his taste but he gets why Dick likes her.

I don't know much about Duke's personality to know for sure but I think he likes her, he probably has a pop playlist on his phone and Taylor is there along with other artists he likes. He’s a casual fan, doesn't know anything about her life but enjoys some of her music.

And finally the ultimate #1 Swiftie, Dick Grayson. He's obsessed with Taylor and has been listening her music since the vey beggining. Knows every song and the meaning behind them, knows everything about Taylor life and the drama stories and calls Taylor and Travis his parents, which makes Bruce extremelly ofended.

He bugs his entire family about the latest Taylor nation news, tells jokes like "I'm in my junk food era" and "you never get out of style, baby", tries to insert Taylor references in every conversations, would absolutely be that friend who would tell you to name your baby Rebekah or Marjorie and broke a coffee mug when he found out Jason liked Taylor, hugging him excitedly.

Image transcripts (PT & ENG):

Regina: Desde o momento que chegamos aqui você está com essa cara de choro…

Callie: Ah foi mal, eu to estragando o clima? Não sei se a Low te contou, mas eu… perdi o meu bebê não restando tanto tempo para o parto normal… Estou tentando lidar como posso, mas é difícil ainda…

Regina: Espera, você está assim ainda por causa daquele feto? Meu Deus, você nem conheceu ele e tá assim? Quero dizer, nem era um Sim de verdade ainda… Tudo bem ficar triste por um tempo, mas tudo isso?

Callie: …

Regina: Aí sério, é cada uma… Hoje em dia você deveria ficar feliz em não ter filhos. Fiquei até com dor de cabeça…

Natisse: Ah já chega. Eu posso saber o que você tanto late aí?

Regina: Latir?? Olha como você fala comigo, garota, eu mal te conheço.

Natisse: E acha que eu quero te conhecer? Depois de ouvir essa besteira que você acabou de falar? 'Deveria ficar feliz em não ter filhos'?! O que você sabe sobre o que Callie passou, hein?

Regina: Ah, por favor, Natisse. Ela fica se fazendo de vítima o tempo todo. Eu tô só dizendo a verdade. O mundo tá cheio de problemas, um aborto é só mais um.

Callie: Meninas, por favor…

Regina: Vocês são dramáticas, todo mundo perde alguma coisa em algum momento, Mas fazer essa tempestade toda? Ela deveria parar de ser um fardo pro Touma e todos ao redor e seguir em frente.

Natisse: Você é patética, Regina. Acha que ser forte é ignorar os sentimentos dos outros? Acha que minimizando a dor de alguém, você parece superior? Eu prefiro mil vezes ser "dramática" do que uma pessoa sem empatia, fria e cruel como você.

Regina: Se acha que gritar comigo vai fazer a Callie se sentir melhor, boa sorte.

Natisse: Não, mas deixar claro que pessoas como você, que acham que podem falar o que quiserem sem consequências, não vão ficar impunes… isso me faz sentir um pouco melhor. E Callie não precisa da sua compaixão, Regina. Ela precisa de pessoas que realmente se importem.

Yellow: Natisse, espera, Regina tem o jeito dela, mas… às vezes as coisas saem errado, ela só não tem tato. Não acho que ela quis realmente ofender Callie. Talvez fosse melhor deixar isso pra lá.

Natisse: Deixar isso pra lá? Low, você ouviu o que ela disse? Ela tá minimizando completamente a dor da Callie! Como você pode ficar do lado dela?

Yellow: Eu não tô do lado dela, Natisse. Eu só acho que, em momentos assim, brigar só vai piorar as coisas. A gente tá falando de tópicos sensíveis aqui, todo mundo tá nervoso… e, olha, Regina só foi infeliz com as palavras. A gente não precisa tornar isso ainda pior.

Natisse: Então é isso? Você quer que eu engula tudo isso só pra evitar confusão? Não é assim que as coisas funcionam, Low. Às vezes, as pessoas precisam ser confrontadas. E Regina precisa ouvir que o que ela disse foi errado. E você… você deveria saber disso.

Regina: Since the moment we got here, you've been wearing that sad face...

Callie: Oh, sorry, am I ruining the mood? I don’t know if Low told you, but I... lost my baby, and it was so close to the normal delivery... I’m trying to cope the best I can, but it’s still hard...

Regina: Wait, you’re still like this because of that fetus? My God, you didn’t even get to know it, and you’re like this? I mean, it wasn’t even a real Sim yet... It’s okay to be sad for a while, but all this?

Callie: ...

Regina: Seriously, this is too much... Nowadays, you should be happy you don't have kids. You’re giving me a headache...

Natisse: Oh, that’s enough. Can I know what you're barking about over there?

Regina: Barking?? Look how you’re talking to me, girl, I barely know you.

Natisse: And you think I want to get to know you? After hearing that nonsense you just said? "You should be happy you don’t have kids"?! What do you know about what Callie went through, huh?

Regina: Oh, please, Natisse. She’s always playing the victim. I’m just telling the truth. The world’s full of problems, an abortion is just another one.

Callie: Girls, please...

Regina: You’re all so dramatic. Everyone loses something at some point, but making a whole storm over it? She should stop being a burden to Touma and everyone around her and move on.

Natisse: You’re pathetic, Regina. Do you think being strong means ignoring other people’s feelings? Do you think minimizing someone’s pain makes you seem superior? I’d much rather be "dramatic" than a cold, heartless, and cruel person like you.

Regina: If you think yelling at me will make Callie feel better, good luck with that.

Natisse: No, but making it clear that people like you, who think they can say whatever they want with no consequences, won’t get away with it... that makes me feel a little better. And Callie doesn’t need your compassion, Regina. She needs people who truly care.

Yellow: Natisse, wait, Regina has her way, but... sometimes things go wrong, she just doesn't have tact. I don’t think she really meant to offend Callie. Maybe it’s better to let it go.

Natisse: Let it go? Low, did you hear what she said? She’s completely minimizing Callie’s pain! How can you side with her?

Yellow: I’m not siding with her, Natisse. I just think that, in moments like this, arguing will only make things worse. We’re talking about sensitive topics here, everyone’s on edge... and, look, Regina just chose her words poorly. We don’t need to make this even worse.

Natisse: So that's it? You want me to swallow all of this just to avoid trouble? That's not how things work, Low. Sometimes, people need to be confronted. And Regina needs to hear that what she said was wrong. And you... you should know that.

I just read A Match in Hell (IT WAS DELICIOUS 🌷) and there's the line: "Ah, if only you could control the situation. It would make him cry with exhaustion". I'd love to read Michael being submissive for a human reader. Like, it's his first time, he doesn't know what to do but it feels so good. Almost switching between submissive to primal.

hurts so good | michael realman

Masterlist | Rules | Taglist | Library | More Michael | AO3

synopsis: When Michael creates this neighborhood, he intended to make the five humans lives something worse than the usual torture. Michael just didn't knew that he too would feel tortured. Or that he would like it. [1K]

warnings: human!reader. evil!michael whos not so evil. gaslighting (with the whole "you're on the good place *blink*"). virginity loss.

ps: omg anon you're so nice! hope you like was about to come!

Michael planned everything. The birds always sing too early. A consistent warm weather that is too dry. Clothes without any tags but that still itch somehow. Mosquitoes. Forced monogamy. Frozen yogurt.

Michael really did planned. Eleanor ignoring Chidi's feelings, so scared of physical torture. Chidi overthinking about his own happiness, then about his disguised selfishness. Tahani feeling so lonely, unable to understand why she's never enough. Jason being... Jason. And you.

Without you, things would quickly collapse. A friendly shoulder for when Chidi's is to anxious, but still somehow making him feel worse for lying. You could shut Eleanor's fight or flight response, while still being a reason for her to behave that way. A company for Tahani, but that because of her need to be perfect ends up being one more reason to pretend. One more person for Jason to be scared of.

You were someone who believe to deserves to be on the Good Place. Someone who can torture yourself without noticing. Someone nice enough for no one to think that something is off with this place, but that still makes the four other humans feel bad about themselfs. You were the checks and balances.

But quickly Michael found out that giving you a absent soulmate was a big mistake. Because that absence, that guilt for not being happy, made you search for other people. And thinking that it would be a easy way to torture you, Michael spent time with you.

And that made Michael realize that it was actually quite nice to be with you. To talk to you. To listen to you. That made him think that if everything was different, if the stars had allign, maybe you both could've be friends. Real friends.

"I get it, he likes to work out," you confessed. Sitting across from Michael, the organized office was out of tune with your panic. "But he needs to do it all the time? I don't think he'd ever spent more than ten minutes talking to me."

Michael should've feel proud. He should've feel relieved that his project worked. But why did Michael feel bad to see you fighting your own sorrow? He should've been happier than ever.

"You'll have a infinite amount of time to spent with your soulmate," Michael were really trying to help you. He don't understand why, but he would feel bad if you started crying. "It can take eons for you both to behave like how you think that a couple should. I guarantee you that our sistem did the right thing."

"I know," you felt ashamed to imply that Michael haven't work hard on your neighborhood. He's a god, or at least something similar to that. You don't want to ofend him. "But I feel so lonely."

"But you're always accompanied," said Michael. "I notice that you're approaching other neighbors."

"Not that kind of loneliness."

"There's more then one kind?" Michael reclined in the armchair. "I still don't really know how your emotions work. You guys are often happy when you should be sad and angry when you should be happy, and texting when you should be driving, which is not an emotion, I know, but it's insane. So, teach me, what kind of loneliness is that?"

You laughed, slightly embarrassed. "It's a... physical loneliness." Seeing the uncertainty on his face, you tried to ignore your feelings. "I'm talking about sex."

"Oh," Michael widened his eyes. "I can see why interacting with your neighbors wouldn't hep with that kind of... loneliness. Another thing that I don't understand. Kissing is gross. You just mash your food holes together. It's not for that."

"You never kissed before?" That silenced your problems. "Like never?"

Michael nodded. "Your humans rituals are weird."

"But you have a human body." You leaned forward. "Chidi's from Senegal, Tahani's from Pakistan, actually everyone here is from a differnt place. Different places with different cultures and different rituals."

"What do you mean with that?"

"I don't think that we kiss and fuck because we were taugh that it's how life is supossed to happen," you ran your fingers across his desk, playing with the wood. "We do that because we're curious about our own bodies. So what I mean to say is: have you never been curious about your body?"

Michael crossed his legs. "I... yes. Yes, I've been curious."

And the thing you said next was a summary for why you were chose to this project. You never hear you conscience. Don't matter how loud it screams at you: if you want to do something, you will. Yes, Michael isn't a god. But he still a being powerful enough so you should have a relationship based on respect. You know all those things. You just ignored that voice on your head.

"I can satisfy your curiosity," you stood up, resting your arms on his desk, and leaned in until your face was close to his. "You just have to kiss me."

If things were normal, Michael would've kicked you out of his office. You would've come home embarrassed, hoping that Michael would pretend that nothing happened. But things weren't normal. You're dead, Michael's not-a-god-but-not-so-different-then-one, and his office is private enough.

You told him what to do. And Michael obeyed.

It was a new feeling. Michael never did that before, never imagine that one day he would be kissing a human instead of torturing them. It was new, and scary, and wrong: it was great. It was really great. He didn't plan that, he shouldn't be doing that, but he couldn't stop himself.

You pulled away, forehead resting on his, and felt the warm breath against your face. "Satisfied?" you whispered. You didn't have to open your eyes to understand Michael's response. You felt him deny it, almost exasperated. You understood him. You felt the same.

You kissed him again, and again, and again. Your mouth against his, your hands gripping his hair, until the space between you both was torturous. Without even thinking, unable to reason, Michael just knew he needed you closer.

You grabbed Michael by the tie, lifting him out of the chair, and pulled him towards you. Without ceasing to kiss you, touch you, Michael did what you implicitly asked. Now sitting on the table, you tried to get rid of his suit.

"What..." Michael shut up when he felt your lips on his neck, carressing and biting his skin. "Your soulmate..."

"He can get fucked," you murmured against his skin. If someone ever found out about what is happening, Michael could say he was tempting you. Seeing if you were selfish enough to cheat on your partner. If you were inconsequential enough to fuck someone that you clearly shouldn't. But the truth was the you were the one tempting him. "Sit down."

Michael obeyed you, sitting in the armchair that you occupied before. He watched you take off your pants, as desperate as he was, and climb into his lap. Your weight on him felt right. You kissed him again, guiding his hands down your body, almost begging him to squeeze your flesh.

"Touch me," but that wasn't you begging. That was you demanding.

And so he did. He grabbed you, feeling how delicate your body was in comparison to his, and kissed you again. It was so good, holding you while you kissed him was so good, that Michael almost didn't notice that you had opened his belt.

"Do you want this?" You got away from him, even tho you just wanted him closer and closer. "Do you want to continue?"

Michael kissed you. Ravenously. As if you were the first plate of food he've been served in ages. His hands touched your body, playing with your skin, glued you to him. And with Michael touching you, loving you, you fucked him.

Michael shivered under your touch, your kisses, your bites. He became a mess of groans and hands that didn't know where to touch. "Please," Michael found himself begging for the first time in his long live. He didn't even knew what he wanted.

Bouncing on his cock, you knew exactly what he meant to say. What Michael couldn't say.

And with Michael shuddering beneath you, unable to even open his eyes, there was a certainty in the air: this would not be the last time.

Tag game!

(thanks @meerawrites for tagging me!)

1.- What is something that your OC would never purchase for themselves, but would be (secretly?) delighted to receive as a gift?

A pretty dress or a knife. Alex is some flavour of transfem, but in his society she can't really explore that publicaly, if someone gifted him a dress she would act ofended and then try it on when alone. And the knife is way simpler: he's a spy, all eyes and no hands and often wishes to me a bigger player.

2.- Is your OC ticklish? Has anyone ever dared to find out?

I'd say no, Alex is this very strange, very unconfortable person, and I think she's the type to just stand there, not feeling anything. Probably his twin sister has tried to tickle him… didn't work out.

3.- How easy does your OC find it to apologize?

Bordeline imposible. That bitch thinks he's the Seven's special little guy, she will coerce people into doing his will and then get mad when they don't like her that much.

4.- When did your OC first see a dead body? If they have not seen one yet, how might they react to doing so?

I think the first time she saw a dead body was when studying under Varys. I think that, if now all his reaction would be to cover his face and nose with an handkerchief, the first time he threw up.

5.- Does your OC have any recurring dreams? Have they ever told anyone else about them?

Alex has prophetic nightmares about the second coming of dragons,he has had them since she was a small child. She used to try and tell her parents, but soon learned to not do that.

6.- Is your OC stingy with their money (or other resources)? Or are they something of a spendthrift?

Somewhere inbetween, to be honest. Alex is rich, and doesn't really understands the lack of something, but doesn't spend money as soon as it hit his pocket, either.

7.- Does your OC have a sweet tooth? Or do they prefer to avoid sweets and sugary treats?

Oh, Alex loves a good sweet treat. If she could, he would only eat sweets for the rest of his life.

8.- Is your OC easily provoked by insults or mockery?

Alex is disabled in Westeros, the thick skin comes with the territory. She has been called a cripple more than his own name, pityied and treated as less, those same things is what got him the invisibility she has.

9.- Where is somewhere your OC has visited that they never want to visit again?

Harrenhall, it gave him nightmares worse than anything else in his whole life.

10.- Is your OC ever somewhat flirtatious?

Not really, Alex might play this aloof, calm character for everyone in court, but in truth seeing the slightliest bit of nacked skin makes him feel incredibly flustered. Her idea of flirting is giving people little trinkets or bits of info.

who: @zaydvn

where: quarto de Brianna

prompt: "Whoa, whoa take it easy! You got pretty banged up back there, and you don't want to go making yourself worse."

Nos últimos dois dias Brianna já havia se resignado de que robes longos de pura seda e seus lençóis eram as únicas coisas que podiam tocar o sua pele sem ofender os seus sentidos e sabia bem que aquilo não era um bom sinal. Mesmo assim se esforçava ao máximo para manter sua dignidade, especialmente quando sua criada tinha ido contra os seus desejos e chamado o curandeiro para ajudá-la. — Sei que não estou com a minha melhor aparência, mas juro que estou completamente bem. Aquilo foi só um acidente bobo, não tem porquê se preocupar. — Com o seu rosto limpo de qualquer traço de maquiagem e os longos cabelos opacos, pois há alguns dias já não tinha a energia para colocar em prática a longa e elaborada rotina de cuidados que tinha com os fios, ela se sentia ainda mais vulnerável do que pelo seu estado fragilizado de saúde. A vaidade há muito tempo havia se tornado quase como uma armadura e receber visitas sem ela como proteção, algo para distanciá-la de qualquer outra pessoa, era como se estivesse prestes a entrar em uma batalha sem qualquer preparo prévio. Por esse motivo, ela decidiu ignorar como a luz que entrava pelas janelas feriam os seus olhos, criando formas circulares em sua visão e se guiou, mais por instinto e costume, até seus utensílios de chá. — Mina estava sendo dramática ao te chamar até aqui. Eu tive apenas um pequeno mal estar, mas já passou! O mínimo que posso fazer para não ser uma anfitriã terrível é te oferecer um chá. Tem alguma preferência?

I hate people who think they are perfect. They don't seem to be human. They think they are free to bring shit into their pockets. I don't want to disappoint you, but we all bring shit, only a few of us dare to show it. I wish you were one of those few, then you would be more honest. Oh, people who think they are gods, flawless angels, free of wounds, pain and bitterness. Look in the mirror, dare to look and recognize yourselves, and stop spitting at those who have already done it! Too bad you think you are immune to being human. Do not be offended by my truths; they are my truths, mine! This is my space, mine! And I only mess with those who think they are gods. This is a cleansing of myself, and I have the right to do it, as do all those who dare to write what is in them. Read and learn to do it openly, and if you can't, walk by or close your eyes! You have to learn to respect people's pain, even if it is shit, because you cry, you hurt, you spit bile in your fucking bubble, and there is never a shortage of people who get offended when all that is written is the pure truth.

Detesto a la gente que se cree perfecta. Parece que no son humanos. Se creen libres de traer mierda en los bolsillos. No quiero desilusionarlos, pero todos traemos mierda, sólo que pocos somos los que nos atrevemos a mostrarla. Ojalá fuesen de esos pocos, serían más sinceros. Ah, seres humanos creyéndose dioses, ángeles inmaculados, libres de heridas, de dolores y amargura, exentos de odio y hiel. ¡Véanse al espejo, atrévanse a mirarse, a reconocerse y dejen de escupirle a quien ya lo ha hecho! Lástima da que se crean inmunes a ser humanos. No se ofendan por mis verdades; son mis verdades, ¡mías! Este es mi espacio, ¡mío! Y me estoy metiendo sólo con aquellos que se creen dioses. Esto es purgarme y tengo el derecho de hacerlo, como todos los que se atreven a escribir lo que llevan dentro. ¡Lean y aprendan a hacerlo de manera abierta y, si no pueden, pasen de largo o cierren los ojos! Hay que aprender a respetar los dolores de la gente, así sean mierda, porque lloras, te dueles, escupes bilis y hiel en tu puta burbuja y nunca falta el que se ofende cuando todo lo que se escribe es la pura verdad.

Can’t wait till pecco claims he was misquoted about the incident with alex

Anon you want me to get in troubles 😭😭😭😭 (I'm also a masochist because I'm answering and posting this).

I don't think he will claim to be misquoted this time, he will blame ir to the concussion and the aftermath of the crash. As someone said, (not tagging them because they are a Pecco fan and this will upset them), rider are send to the media just after a crash or a race, so the emotions are still raw. However I do know that last year in Catalunya, Pecco was excused from media duties and he still talked with them (his choice, and it was a Spanish journalist who said it). I also know that big names (Re: Pecco, Fabio and Marc at least) are allowed to cancel (and Fabio has already done) their media aparece when they want. So I think in this occasion, there are mechanism that would have allowed Pecco to not talk if he really wanted to avoid it. He didn't, he chose to go and say what he said.

So yes, in m y opinion, he choose to be there and say that and then he will brush it off like always. This is Pecco's MO. He throws the rock and hides the hand, however the damage is already done. He tried to do it with Marc after Portugal, and I think Franco also did it to Álex at the Italian GP (I remember 1 Academy rider saying Álex is a dirty rider who neraly murder/crashes into him and I'm pretty sure it was Franco). The VR46 are closing the lines and gunning at their enemies (re: Marquez)

Also for those who said it's all spur of the moment, it wasn't. Pecco himself said 'it's confirmed by the data', which meant he had time to look at Álex's and his data. He had time to sit and think about it, and he still choose to accuse another rider. I would have understood it if it was straight from the crash to the media pen. But not after taking the time to look at the data.

Jorge Lorenzo likes to call Pecco a calculator or a professor, but honestly it's only true in the way he manipulates media and fans, because on track he's a fucking dirty rider (Look how he closes the line to other riders, not just now) and hot blood (he loses the composure whenever he's not in the front and he sees he can't fight).

Anyway he got what he wanted. He has started a war in Ducati and he now has an excuse to not get along with Marc and throw him under the bus whenever he wants. Maybe he might also try to force Ducati to break the contract with Marc saying he can't be with him because Álex nearly kills him. He also re-opened the wound of Italy vs Márquez and now he doesn't need to play nice.

Anyway, I'm really a masochist for writing this and posting it. If you are ofended, look another way around,.

🇺🇸: Hello everyone! I'm new here, so please don't judge me harshly. I will draw the same content as verzisphere. That is, men with fat, overweight, big bellies. (Guys, I don't want to offend anyone or copy it there, for example, just such content or something, I like it too, don't judge, please.) Thank you for accepting me, I really appreciate it. I will post my first art soon. Have a good time, everyone!

If anything, you can call me frippi, or froppi.

🇧🇷: Olá a todos! Sou novo aqui, por isso, por favor, não me julgue. Vou desenhar o mesmo conteúdo que o verzisphere. Quer dizer, homens gordos, gordos, com barriga grande. (Pessoal, eu não quero ofender ninguém ou copiar lá, por exemplo, apenas esse tipo de conteúdo ou algo assim, eu também gosto, não julgue, por favor. Obrigado por me receber, agradeço muito. Em breve publicarei minha primeira arte. Divirtam-se todos!

Podem chamar-me frippi ou froppi.

🇷🇺: Всем привет! Я тут новичок, так что, не судите строго, пожалуйста. Я буду рисовать такой же контент, как у verzisphere. То есть, мужчин с толстыми, объешиемся, большими животами. (Ребят, я никого не хочу обидеть или копировать там к примеру, просто такой контент или типа того, мне тоже нравится, не судите, прошу.) Спасибо, кто принял меня, я очень признателен. Вскоре выложу свой первый арт. Всем хорошего времяпровождения!

Если что, меня можно называть frippi, или же froppi.

Reading and seeing certain criticisms made towards the Vivziepop characters and their representation of Asexuality/Aromanticy (completely true and justified) made me do some self-reflection and I wanted to know your opinion on the matter.

I have a character, Morgan Huved, who is a villain, Narcissist, an unstable person with many problems who would even become a cult leader/questionable father.

and although I never had a problem with him (he is one of the favorite ocs) I recently realized that he is a Straight/Demisexual, demisexual, part of the asexual spectrum.

I just imagined this because because of Morgan's past (being someone socially isolated by his parents, becoming a sociopath), he can't fall in love with a woman AT ALL if he doesn't know for sure that she's not going to abandon him, that she has the same ideas as him, which is at his "level".

Apart from this, Morgan DOES have the ability to have empathy, he is just very selective, he loved his parents very much to the point that he got considerably worse when they died, he loves his wife very much, and he loves his children in his own way (even if raises them both differently).

Even if Morgan was mentally stable and not self-centered, I CAN SEE HIM even being Demi. but I don't want to offend or just perpetuate more harmful stereotypes of this type of sexualities.

What do you think? Am I doing right or wrong? I am open to criticism in this regard.

_________

(ESPAÑOL)

leyendo y viendo ciertas criticas hechas hacia los personajes de Vivziepop y su representación de la Asexualidad(completamente cierto y justificado) me hizo hacer algo de autorefleccion y queria saber su opinion al respecto.

tengo un personaje, Morgan Huved, que es un villano, Narcicista, una persona inestable con muchos problemas que incluso llegaria a ser un lider de culto/padre cuestionable.

y si bien nunca tuve un problema con el(es uno de los ocs favoritos) recientemente cai en cuenta de que el es un Heterosexual/ Demisexual, demisexual, parte del espectro de asexual.

simplemente me imagine esto porque por el pasado de Morgan (siendo alguien aislado socialmente por sus padres, convertirse en un sociopata), el no puede enamorarse de una mujer EN ABSOLUTO si no sabe con certeza que no lo va abandonar, que tiene sus mismas ideas, que esta a su "nivel".

aparte de esto, Morgan SI TIENE la capacidad de tener empatia, solo que es muy selectiva, amaba mucho a sus padres al punto de que empeoro considerablemente cuando murieron, ama mucho a su esposa, y ama a su manera a sus hijos(aun si los cría a ambos de forma diferente).

aun si Morgan fuera mentalmente estable y no egocentrico, PUEDO VERLO aun siendo Demi. pero no quiero ofender o justamente perpetuar mas esteriotipos dañinos de este tipo de sexualidades.

¿que opinan?¿hago bien o mal? estoy abierta a la critica en este aspecto.

[deadnytalks]

I just discovered somenthing very VERY VERY UNDERRATED about art bassed on already existing characters from a franchise (fan proyects). But underrated on a unsuspected level

I will put you an example, look at this reefsheets of Whisper from Sonic the hedgehog

ALL THE WORK IS DONE, EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR MAKE A FANART OR SOMENTHING ALREADY HAS A FUNCIONAL REFERENCE THAT YOU CAN PERFECTLY USE. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IS TO INVESTIGATE A CHARACTER FOR MAKE ALL OF THIS REFERENCES AAAAAAHHH!!

For make your own content, your own WORKING FRANCHISE you would have to start FROM CERO. You can perfecly take 30 years for make somenthing profesional enought by your own or somenthing that works!! (30 years including ALL the art learnings you have to use. Psicology included)

We don't appreciate enough that there are sagas that give fans so much freedom to do whatever they want with their copyrighted work, because they can perfectly take down all the fan works at any time for legal reasons, but they choose to not.

(also, important note, don´t interpret this as if I´m defending abuse, empresaurs or companies buying others and then closing them or something like that. This post is not about defending the multimillonare company, is about you to apreciate what you have on a very underrated media as is the art. A kind of "inspiration" for you to not be lazy when the only thing you have to do for make a fan proyect is to take references and adapt it to your style, only the 10% of the work comparing it on making somenthing original. If at the end of the day you are ofended by this post, then the message is not for you, sorry 🙏
