I really love the duality of man in James and The Giant Peach musical
because on one hand it's just a tiny, cute show that's simple and perfectly appropriate to be staged by children and on the other hand Paul & Pasek decided to write the most unhinged double entendre song for middle schoolers to perform:

Welp. Here's hoping the amount I've been listening to 'Great Night' by NEEDTOBREATHE doesn't convince Tidal to recommend bands tagged as Christian rock to me on the regular. I do not want a repeat of the 'accidentally adding a track about sinners going to hell to my playlist because it had a good beat' incident (I am often very shallow about music, as the above probably proves; I have gotten better at listening to lyrics on the first go).
But hey ho. I'm listening because it's perfect for the crack(?)ship Iron-Blooded Orphans slash pairing that Wishing on Space Hardware has totally not been building towards (it honestly hasn't but I need about ten years of character development for this nonsense to work so --).
A free writing request to anyone who can guess what that pairing is (Phyn, Walrus, you two are disqualified on account of knowing already). I'll add an IOU to the pile along with said nonsense, the other side of the Venus debacle, more Yamagi/Shino smut and that McGillis/Cyclase meet-cute I should probably jot down (cute = potentially murderous) . . .

Poetry Slam Set auf Deutsch&Englisch
Group economics, we'd advance in a peloton
Together, we could be bad but we hella dumb
Some countries as young as our parents, unlike Babylon
Tired of hunger, crossing borders was a marathon
Why should I be poetic over something so pathetic?
We have voiced feelings melodically and methodically
Our nature's dying for your craft and luxury
Like Mahagony, you decorate your homes with agony of ebony
Amusingly, all your kings are thieves, not just musically
Outta sadness birthed Rock and blues and swing,
Lamenting over Hip-Hop as it is, but you're abusing it
You killed Martin Luther King and kiss a lifeless crucifix
Cultures colonizers have not lived, but are maneuvering
Studied condescendingly by acting like they're cool with them
Mama Africa, always beloved until they're through with her
Uninvited, violently rename the World like 'turmeric'
__
Accesories not guilty, principle liability
Penance not administered by priest or penitentiaries
Tyranny in streets by police, for the Bourgeoisie
For centuries, they kill as they please, uniformed mercenaries
Arresting that we're always wrong
Segregated the poor into thugs and vagabonds
Harrassed and profiled but caucasians that ran amok
Vindicated, (pardon me?) transferred the blame onto the gun
Waging abstract wars and assault concrete bodies
As long as blues kneel on necks, athletes kneel for flags
Ashes of the banner for the stars you put to death
Burning books, your mages brought dark ages back
Nothing christian bout hanging and drowning Africans
That were enslaved and tortured on every continent
Arrogance and ignorance, the trademarks of Americans
Europeans fascists, all accepted by the Pontifex
///////////
Schere Wie Scampi (Geburtstagslied 27)
Um die Arbeit planen wir den ganzen Tag
Eine Stelle, die nicht einmal genug zahlt
Mit Kollegen, die man meistens gar nicht mag
Was ich ertrag für nen mickrigen Ertrag
Beißen in den sauren Apfel mit den Jobs
Hiobsbotschaft, doch wir war'n nie reich wie Job
Sündhaft teuer, so viel Reue für den Schrott
Bin am Steuer, in der Koje schläft mein Gott
Manche fahren Hummer, treffen sich auf Shrimp und Lobster
Haben Liebeskummer, wegen Sternchen. und Popstars
And're Städter hungern, aber essen nicht mal one star
Wasser um zu schlummern, oder voll mit Chips oder Popcorn
Ihr macht eure Arbeit doch nur richtig, wenn der Boss kommt
Arbeitsplätze nicht einmal gesichert, wenn der Boss kommt
Ihr wollt nicht Revolte, sich beschweren ist der Volkssport
Hintergeht die Träumer, Spionage ist der Volkssport
__
Arbeitslos sein wird geächtet wie'n Verbrechen
Doch ich wurd gefeuert ohne Warnung wie Erbrechen
Dabei hab ich mehr geschafft als Maike, Nils und Steffen
Leistung über Land der Herkunft, habt ihr das vergessen?
Ich bestand die Probe, doch wurd rechtzeitig entlassen
So gibt's keinen Anlass, ne Begründung zu verfassen
Gespräch ist schon freundlich, gibt doch nen Briefkasten
Egal ob sie lächeln, weinen oder ausrasten
Seit der Fünften trennt die Schule in Schichten
Nach Einkünften der Familiengeschichte
Unverzüglich soll man alles berichten
Unvernünftig, auf Bewerbungen zu dichten
Arbeiterkinder sind selten auf Campi
Armut und Reichtum, die Schere wie Scampi
Fast Food schadet den Hippocampi
Suboptimal, doch vergessen den Kampf nie
Singen: Interlude/bridge
(Hitlers Kampf oder Klassenkampf
Jeden Tag Überlebenskampf
Statt Eintracht immer Wettkampf
Jesus siegte im Seelenkampf)
Überspringen Hürden wie der Klempner
Überspringen Plätze auf der Rennbahn
Nicht der Fliegenpilz macht die Champignons
Nach der Aufklärung Bücher hell wie Lampions
[Refrain] x2
Wir sind unersetzlich, ihr seid unersättlich
Unendlich Chancen, aber ihr checkt's nicht
Das sagen Ausländer, das sagen Deutsche
Wer ist schon Deutsch? Seht ihr, wie ich euch täusche
//////////
Hoffnungsvoll als Mensch, Pessimist in Politik
Niederlagen echt, die Erfolge plakativ
Schauspieler am Redepult, stets performativ
Die Naivität macht das Lügen lukrativ
Verwandte aus dem Kongo glauben an den Geldbaum
Wollen ein Visum, wären gerne Erntehelfer
Doch in Europa nicht geschätzt und doch gebraucht
Asylrecht existiert fast nur auf Spargelfeldern
Das Fluide ist so'lide, alles Starre is fra'gil
Frau Hypatia war 'klüger als Horaz und Ver'gil
Mittelmeerkul'turen ging'n zun Lernen an den Nil
Alles führt nach Rom? Weiter südlich ist mein Ziel
Atheisten hassen Jesus und Simon, den Afrikaner
Die Franzosen diffamieren pausenlos Mohammedaner
Religionsfreiheit, doch wir sehen keine Tempel
Im Land der Tempelritter klagt man über Minarette
Bewunder Louverture, und schreibe wie Dumas
Fanon ist jetzt Kanon, unsere Träume werden wahr
Franz wollte Krieg wie mit Franz Ferdinand
Bauern und Bürger, umzingelt den Staat
Schwarze Haut, doch die Masken sind weiß
Ihr redet wie Kämpfer, doch ihr dient dem Feind
Freiwillig, denn durch sein Sold wirst du reich
Und dein goldener Käfig erregt Stolz und Neid
Sie lesen Musil und Mann, hören Rap vom Muselmann
Traut ihr euch an Werke von schwarzer Hand?
Reden über Themen, wie kein anderer kann
Meine Faust erhoben und die Hand bleibt dran
Unsere Narrative öffnen nicht nur Perspektiven
Wir waren die Besiegten, als die Weissen uns bekriegten
Unser Objektiv liegt im Wohl des Kollektiv, denn
Wir sind ein Subjekt, unser Wort war stets valide
////////
Ihr tötet Yeshua, ihr tötet Musa
Mord auf Moria und Lampedusa
Ihr straft die Opfer wie damals Medusa
Söhne des Satans, Brutus und Judas
Ihr tötet Yeshua, ihr tötet Musa
Mord auf Moria und Lampedusa
Ihr straft die Opfer wie damals Medusa
Söhne des Satans, Brutus und Judas
Verse
Polizei, patrolliert,auf Verdacht, in Zivil
Nach der langen Schicht, sichtbar uniformiert
Weil wir protestier'n, Schlachterei'n subventioniert
Seehofer dementiert, dass Paarhufer profilier'n
Die meiste Zeit in Vierteln der Migrantisierten
Netter zu Kartoffeln, sogar kriminalisierten
Unhöflich und knapp, wenn du karamellisiert bist
Unrecht am Schwarzen wurde bagatellisiert
Deutsche bleiben Nazis, darum lieben sie Persil
Arbeiten sehr gern, doch nicht hart oder viel
Ausländer tragen immer noch eure (Wirtschaft)
Doch erwarten nicht mehr, eure Gast-(wirtschaft)
Rache ist Blutwurst, Metzger aufs Schafott
Weisse haben Angst vor dem Tag des Zorns
Stürmen die Regierung und behalten ihre Jobs
Schwarze sind im Knast oder starben wegen Joints
Ihr tötet Yeshua, ihr tötet Musa
Mord auf Moria und Lampedusa
Ihr straft die Opfer wie damals Medusa
Söhne des Satans, Brutus und Judas
Zivilcourage heißt in Deutschland gaffen
Während Weiße Schwarze schlagen und beleidigen als Affen
Die einen zücken Handys und die anderen Waffen
"Hast du schon gesehen" statt "Ich musste etwas machen"
Bruder will nur weisse Frau'n mit schwarzem Kleidungsstil
Nein er liebt doch alle Arten Blackfish POC
Warum wollen sie keine Frauen, die so aussehen wie sie?
Selbsthass steigert ungesunden Sexualtrieb
Hlt die Backen, meine Frau ist mein Happy End
Verkaufst dich unter Wert, als Affäre am Weekend
Für sie bin ein Mensch und kein maskuliner Fetisch
Verstehst du: Manche Dates denken echt eklig
Hast es schon kapiert doch du willst es ignorier'n
Willst den Lifestyle nicht ver'lier'n, auch wenn er dich rui'niert
Die zwei Geister auf den Schultern brauchst du nicht zu konsultier'n
Dein Gewissen hat 'Recht, doch dein Fleisch trium'phiert
--
Ihr tötet Yeshua, ihr tötet Musa
Mord auf Moria und Lampedusa
Ihr straft die Opfer wie damals Medusa
Söhne des Satans, Brutus und Judas
Ihr tötet Yeshua, ihr tötet Musa
Mord auf Moria und Lampedusa
Ihr straft die Opfer wie damals Medusa
Söhne des Satans, Brutus und Judas

3.Last Checkpoint In Heaven
Bible times and today, there's a difference
Mussolini isnt Caesar or Berlusconi
Israel isn't asking Jesus about taxes
Their ideal messiah frees them and then occupies others
Temple knights are still here
Dark ages are still here
You can infiltrate their minds like entire industries
Even get the fakes profit off the sympathy
I dont need this platform, I got pen and paper
Take down this post, call me one of your haters
Oprah of states, Obama was greater
In our anticipation, we found out later
Where are the "all lives matter" people when Gaza's in flames?
Where are the "jew haters" when it's payday?
Where are the critical thinkers when you watch Western news?
Hadid got shadowbanned and she's more known than you
Do you think God loves to see bloodshed on Holy Land
By those who wont even acknowledge Him or The Son,
And his african jewish siblings
And Samaritan with hearts of Gold
Dont you know that white people are not to be trusted
Even with a hat they are full of cap
The most oppressed Karens have the most gunpower
Pick a side, are you white or what?
They own too much to get to New Jerusalem
Because they gain this world for the price of their soul
May the Children of Ishmael rest in eternal peace,
This world is meant to be visited for a short time
Even if others sadly cut your time short even more
Others pick up where you left the fight
Freedom belongs to all my family, demonized and vilified just like me by white supremacy in their lunacy
No more red roofs or stars with red threads
The real ones will reunite before the Lord
Last checkpoint in Heaven
Poem by Jonny Ardor,
a christian (gentile believer in Yeshua)

REPENT TURN BACK TO JESUS From that time on Jesus Began to Preach, "Repent For the Kingdom Of Heaven is Near". Matthew 4:17 அதுமுதல் இயேசு: "மனந்திரும்புங்கள், பரலோகராஜ்யம் சமீபித்திருக்கிறது என்று பிரசங்கிக்கத் தொடங்கினார்". மத்தேயு 4:17 Glory to Jesus.

My boyfriend was shocked that anyone wouldn't know their national anthem in full, he just assumed I'd know the whole of God Save the Queen King. I had to explain that like, he's Welsh, his culture is extremely big on rugby, Welsh identity and male choral singing, like it's not surprising he knows his but that's not a universal experience.
I know "God save our gracious [monarch]" and that's kinda as far as I can get. Like I know one word more than is in the title. Because it's a fucking awful song that no English person knows and I was raised anti monarchist.
okay i’m curious
if not put why in the tags if u wanna

Okay I'm almost done with Fellowship, here's an incomplete list of shit I noticed and thought was buck fucking wild on my first ever read-thru: medieval edition.
In literally the second line of the book, Tolkien implies that Bilbo Baggins wrote a story which was preserved alongside the in-universe version of the Mabinogion (aka the best-known collection of Welsh myths; I promise this is batshit). This is because The Hobbit has been preserved, in Tolkien's AU version of our world, in a "selection of the Red Book of Westmarch" (Prologue, Concerning Hobbits). If you're a medievalist and you see something called "The Red Book of" or "The Black Book of" etc it's a Thing. In this case, a cheeky reference to the Red Book of Hergest (Llyfr Coch Hergest). There are a few Red Books, but only Hergest has stories).
not a medieval thing but i did not expect one common theory among hobbits for the death of Frodo's parents to be A RUMORED MURDER-SUICIDE.
At the beginning of the book a few hobbits report seeing a moving elm tree up on the moors, heading west (thru or past the Shire). I mentioned this in another post, but another rule: if you see an elm tree, that's a Girl Tree. In Norse creation myth, the first people were carved from driftwood by the gods. Their names were Askr (Ash, as in the tree), the first man, and Embla (debated, but likely elm tree), the first woman. A lot of ppl have I think guessed that that was an ent-wife, but like. Literally that was a GIRL. TREE.
Medieval thing: I used to read the runes on the covers of The Hobbit and LOTR for fun when I worked in a bookshop. There's a mix of Old Norse (viking) and Old English runes in use, but all the ones I've noticed so far are real and readable if you know runes.
Tom Bombadil makes perfect sense if you once spent months of your life researching the early medieval art of galdor, which was the use of poems or songs to do a form of word-magic, often incorporating gibberish. If you think maybe Tolkien did not base the entirety of Fellowship so far around learning and using galdor and thus the power of words and stories, that is fine I cannot force you. He did personally translate "galdor" in Beowulf as "spell" (spell, amusingly, used to mean "story"). And also he named an elf Galdor. Like he very much did name an elf Galdor.
Tom Bombadil in fact does galdor from the moment we meet him. He arrives and fights the evil galdor (song) of the willow tree ("old gray willow-man, he's a mighty singer"), which is singing the hobbits to sleep and possibly eating them, with a galdor (song) of his own. Then he wanders off still singing, incorporating gibberish. I think it was at this point that I started clawing my face.
THEN Tom Bombadil makes perfect sense if you've read the description of the scop's songs in Beowulf (Beowulf again, but hey, Tolkien did famously a. translate it b. write a fanfiction about it called Sellic Spell where he gave Beowulf an arguably homoerotic Best Friend). The scop (pronounched shop) is a poet who sings about deeds on earth, but also by profession must know how to sing the song or tell the story of how the cosmos itself came to be. The wise-singer who knows the deep lore of the early universe is a standard trope in Old English literature, not just Beowulf! Anyway Tom Bombadil takes everyone home and tells them THE ENTIRE STORY OF ALL THE AGES OF THE EARTH BACKWARDS UNTIL JUST BEFORE THE MOMENT OF CREATION, THE BIG BANG ITSELF and then Frodo Baggins falls asleep.
Tom Bombadil knows about plate tectonics
This is sort of a lie, Tom Bombadil describes the oceans of old being in a different place, which works as a standard visual of Old English creation, which being Christian followed vaguely Genesis lines, and vaguely Christian Genesis involves a lot of water. TOLKIEN knew about plate tectonics though.
Actually I just checked whether Tolkien knew about plate tectonics because I know the advent of plate tectonics theory took forever bc people HATED it and Alfred Wegener suffered for like 50 years. So! actually while Tolkien was writing LOTR, the scientific community was literally still not sure plate tectonics existed. Tom Bombadil knew tho.
Remember that next time you (a geologist) are forced to look at the Middle Earth map.
I'm not even done with Tom Bombadil but I'm stopping here tonight. Plate tectonics got me. There's a great early (but almost high!) medieval treatise on cosmology and also volcanoes and i wonder if tolkien read it. oh my god. i'm going to bed.

The Wolff Pack (Mr. and Mrs. Wolff pt.2)
Warnings: innuendos, cursing, bad grammar, poorly translated German
Pt.1
Sunday (race day) :
Tumblr media
Monday night:
Tumblr media
Two weeks later
Tumblr media
Y/N: Hello GQ. I'm Y/N YM/N Wolff
Toto: and I'm Toto Wolff
Y/N: you mean Torger Christian Wolff. We're using our government names today, babe. No nicknames.
Toto: y/n, please.
Y/N (giggling) : okay, okay. I'm sorry, you guys can cut that part out.
Y/N and Toto: and today we'll be doing the GQ's couple quiz to see how well we know each other.
Producer: who's going first?
Toto: Y/N is always first in my life so her.
Y/N: awww, he's trying to butter me up incase he gets anything wrong!
[Toto shakes his head]
Y/N: Okay first question. When did we first meet?
Toto: At the 2018 Austin GP
Y/N: ehhh wrong answer forehead!
Toto: schatz, I'm right. You were invited by Ferrari and you had on their merchandise and a beautiful red jacket and your hair was down. You were passing by Mercedes Hospitality and we smiled at each other and you gave me a tiny wave.
Y/N: babe... what? I- wait, its coming back to me now. What how did you remember that?
Toto: How could I forget? You looked absolutely radiant in that hideous ferrari red, a hard feat to pull off.
Y/N: (giggling) awww. Give him two points for this one. Okay, next question: what is my favourite look on you?
Toto: mein Geburtstagsanzug
[Subtitle: my birthday suit]
Y/N: benehmen
[Subtitle: behave]
Toto: okay, serious answer now. You love me in a good button down, pleated pants and my glasses.
Y/N: yes, I could literally eat you up when you wear that.
Toto: and you're telling me to behave?
Y/N: babe, you're worse than me but anyways! Next question, what is my go to soda order?
Toto: this has to be a trick question because you don't drink soda. You only indulge in green juices and smoothies. Your favourite is a kale, spinach and beet smoothie with almond milk and peanut butter.
Y/N: you're correct once again! He knows me so well guys. I know this was a few years ago but what was the song that i constantly sang after we got engaged? (laughing)
Toto: (shakes head while chuckling) It was so awful and unexpected that it's stuck with me and sometimes (unfortunately) plays in my head. It went something like, "put it on him make him wanna marry me." And you'd sing it while flaunting your ring and body rolling.
Y/N: yes, right on the nose! Okay, so what is my ideal type of man?
Toto: derjenige, der dich zur Mutter gemacht hat, meine Liebe
[Subtitle: the one who made you a mom, my love.]
Y/N: correct again! Babe, you're on fire! And every correct answer makes you hotter and hotter...Baby Nummer zwei könnte früher kommen als geplant
[Subtitle: baby number 2 might come sooner than we planned].
Toto: schatz, do not make jokes like that, you know what I want.
Y/N: I'm not joking.
[silence on set as the camera switches between y/n and Toto who are locked in intense eye contact]
[Producer behind the scene]: um guys
Y/N: oh sorry, um, next question- what was the first foreign language I learned in high school?
Toto: Spanish and then you did French and finally Portuguese but you're more inclined to Portuguese. You're currently learning German.
Y/N: correct, the perks of attending a private school. And,  to those of you viewing at home, I'm learning German because Torger refuses to speak to baby girl in English! He swears that she has to know German just as fluently as English and I don't want to be left out so I'm indulging in it.
Y/N: Okay, final question- what is my favourite thing to do?
Toto: well, it's definitely trying new things. You love to try different hobbies, crafts, sports, business ventures, careers and it's admirable, you just go after what you want even if it's something you know nothing about. Also you love spending time with die Prinzessin .
Y/N: correct again, Torger Christian Wolff, you got everything right, now that is stinking cute.
[TOTO WOLFF QUIZZES Y/N WOLFF]
Toto: Okay, schatz, first question- when is my birthday?
Y/N: is this a trick question? Your birthday is January 12. You were born in 1972 in Vienna, Austria to a Middle class family and your education was focused towards finance and economics because of the family you grew up in.
Toto: (laughing) schatz, you might as well let the people know my blood type, that was a lot of details but all true. I'll give you 4 points for this. Okay, next question. What is my favourite snack?
Y/N: me of course!
Toto: you'd be my favourite meal, schatz
Y/N: oop, okay! Let me get serious though, your favourite snack is Kumpir with Sauerkraut Filling and Pumpernickel Crumble. You ate so much of it on our honeymoon that it made you sick. I'm surprised you still like it (giggling).
Toto: Where is my favourite place to be?
Y/N: okay I'm giving two answers for this one-  first, it's anywhere that Prinzessin and I are and second, at home it used to be in our room but now it's Prinzessin's room. Torger would spend all day there if he could.
Toto: mhmm, I'm actually surprised that your answer was PG but correct again beautiful. Next question, what is my biggest priority?
Y/N: family, I know this might seem like a surprise to the viewers but you have never missed an anniversary, hospital visit, birthing class, date night, family reunion, birthday celebration or anything of the sort. I don't know how you do it but that it's so clear to see that your loved ones are your number priority .
Toto: How would I describe myself ? Like how do I view myself ?
Y/N: mhm this is tough, I think you consider yourself as someone who is constantly evolving whether that's in your personal life or your career. You're driven and goal oriented. You've got that aggressive streak that the Internet loves to make memes of but uh, yeah. How'd I do?
Toto: pretty spot on. It's like you know me better than I know myself. Okay, final question, what is the name of our sweet little angel ?
Y/N: yup, you heard that right, for the first time ever we will be revealing the name of our baby girl. We thought it would be perfect to announce it during something so fun and sweet. Anyways enough of the chit chat.
Y/N and Toto: (turns to look at each other, grabs each other hands) we'd like to formally introduce the world to Myah Sunshine Wolff!
Y/N: it was so nice being here and I'd like to thank GQ for inviting us onto their wonderful platform.
Toto: I hope you guys enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed making this. Bye!
(Both of them wave until the screen goes black)

It's funny. Maybe it's the way and the place I was raised but Spanish is, and always will be, the holiest language of Roman Catholicism. Ecumenical Latin, Greek, even Aramaic, the original languages the Bible was written in--I get it, I really do. But I wasn't raised in Christianity reading, hearing, singing Ecumenical Latin, Greek, or even Aramaic. And while a lot of it was in English, I'll admit, my strongest memories of my time in religion will always be in Spanish.
There's this musicality to it that I don't think I know how to fully comprehend how I can explain. Because it isn't about the musicality, really, though religious Spanish is a beautifully lyrical language. If I'm being perfectly honest, it's that I hardly speak any Spanish at all. I would often go to Spanish mass with my best friend growing up because we'd hang out on Saturdays and I'd go back home Sunday afternoon--after I went to church, of course. I didn't comprehend the language in the slightest (though I learned some through rote repetition, of course). But hearing the passion, the adoration--in the truly Biblical sense of the word--of the voices of the (my) abuelas around me raised in song, Señor, ten piedad, Cristo, ten piedad, Señor ten piedad de mí? How could I forget that in my life?
Maybe it's the history of it, y'know? Maybe it's the little ember of Marian heresy I'm convinced exists in the heart of it. Sure, Jesus and the Father and all that, but I mean, it's practically sacrilege to act like it isn't the Mother who rules the house of God in Guadalupe, right? I still remember the smell of the tamales I was too picky to eat. Every week for years. After a certain amount of time it became habit and sublimated, misplaced pride rather than any actual desire to not try them. I still never did, though. Somewhere inside me there is a little boy who made his first friend in the world and a second family refused to let him try and pretend that he wasn't that. Maybe one day I'll forgive him for not knowing any better and being too scared to try new things. Who knows? Maybe one day he'll forgive me for growing old. I tried pizza for the first time a couple months ago. Twenty-eight years of fear and pride and resenting all the other little boys for loving something but hating me. It's just bread and cheese and pepperoni, kiddo. Ain't nothing to be afraid of. Ain't nothing to be afraid of.

heavenly sin
Pairing: RE4!Leon Kennedy x fem!reader
Word count: 3.4k
Tags/warnings: smut (pure unfiltered filth, no plot); voice kink; p-in-v sex; unprotected sex; female gendered anatomy; female masturbation; fingering; cunnilingus; established relationship; no y/n; references to Christianity and ferocity; extensive wordplay
Summary: It's been known that Leon is one kinky bastard.
A/N: Written as part of my A to Z kinks game. N is for narratophilia aka being aroused by sexual storytelling.
Tried something a little bit different to explore my knowledge of English. A wordplay of sorts (I basically threw random words together in hopes that it'd make some sense). Bon Appetit.
masterlist • navigation • faq • AO3 • ko-fi
Tumblr media
“You enjoying yourself?” As Leon discards his gloves, casting them aside like insignificant relics, you feel the pillow crumple beneath his weight. A testament to the force of his being. The air feels sizzling hot, thick with heat and suffocating in its intensity. “If I knew my words would get you so riled up,” his other hand cups your breast, thumb circling the erected nipple and watching as goosebumps rise over the sensitive skin, “I’d do this much sooner.”
It started as a joke, a fleeting spark in the sea of banter. Leon’s flirtatious nature entwined in perfect harmony with his tender heart.
Fresh out of the shower, your heart longed for the man whose sudden departures have become routine. A standard in your life.
The sun made its final descent below the horizon, the sky painted in shades of amber and gold – the bedroom awash in a warm and inviting glow, as if every object was kissed by the sun's final rays. The light filtered through the sheer curtains, creating patterns on the floor that danced like flickering flames.
And in the midst of it all, Leon's call came through, cutting through the stillness.
The conversation began innocently. Calling to let you know he’ll be home soon. It was as though his tenderness was butterfly's wings, fluttering in your chest and making your heart skip a beat.
His sincere words slowly spilt over into something else. Something more. Something promising.
It’s now that the phone lies next to your ear, and Leon's voice, like a silk ribbon, unwinds into your consciousness, stirring a deep and primal desire within you. Building the anticipation need inside you.
“After that, I’d bent you over the table. You’d already be naked and dripping,” Leon’s voice a song of Solomon, “but I’d be far from done with you.”
A gasp, soft and quiet, escapes your parted lips. Every fibre of your body, every cell is set on fire. The setting sun casting flames over your naked skin of yours. Flesh burning. Body wrapped in a cocoon of passionate flames – your palm pressing against the sensitive nub, the pressure light as a feather. Slow, languid strokes of your fingers follow Leon’s words.
Muscles tightening as the pressure keeps adding with each sentence. Slow and steady. With a pace of a gentle stream. Dipping one finger deep inside your slick walls, only to stop when you reach fully inside.
A stream of docile moans flows from your throat.
“Just to feel you take my cock. Hear those gorgeous gasps as you beg me to give it to you,” hand gripping the messed-up sheets underneath you, squeezing tight as you add another finger, curling them upwards.
“Rough, just how you like it. Pretty sure we’d break the table,” Leon’s words are accompanied by a light chuckle, hiding much more sinister and vivid ideas inside his head.
The way his name rolls off your tongue makes him cuss. Your voice carries the weight of longing, desire, and devotion. Making Leon wish to finally be home.
“Fuck. Could spend all day between those lovely legs of yours.” Leon’s voice descends to a low murmur, tinged with raw, feral hunger.
With a touch as tender as a butterfly’s wing, thumb circling the aching nub of nerves; it ignites a wildfire of ecstasy within your body. As you lightly graze your opening, feeling the softness of your slick walls, a delicate gasp escapes your mouth, akin to a prayer of submission to this moment of pure passion and pleasure.
“Just to taste that pretty pussy of yours on my tongue.”
Leon's voice pours into the phone, rich and sinful. You hear the front door open with a soft creak, the sound echoing through your body. He's finally home, his presence filling your senses with a heady aroma of musk and lust, a tantalizing potion that you can't resist.
He gazes at you with eyes like storm clouds brewing with desire. The air is thick with the scent of sex and your yearning, hanging in the dimly lit bedroom, resembling a heavy fog. You keep your gaze locked with his, transfixed as Leon strides in, his figure outlined by the glow of light seeping in from the hallway.
You don’t stop–
–instead, your fingers delve deeper. Nails grazing the tender walls, the slight discomfort only adding to the pleasure. Like a deer caught in headlines, your eyes stay on his.
The sound of your slickness echoes in the room as you thrust in and out, unconsciously matching the rhythm of Leon's steps – left in, right out, left in, right out – a dance of carnal desire.
And just like that, he stands on the side of the bed.
Leon’s eyes gleam with a fierce intensity. A perfect blend of predatory sensuality and effortless ease. With the grace of a pather; clad in a black henley shirt, the first two buttons undone, exposing the slight curve of his clavicles. It molds to his chiseled form as though it was a second skin, making Leon exude a primal magnetism that draws you closer to your high.
Spellbound by the scene in front of him – by you; fingers deep inside, eyes glazed over with orgasmic ecstasy as your work yourself to your high.
The air is thick with the sweet scent of your desire, a heady aroma that fills his senses with an overwhelming urge to indulge in your rapture.
He steps closer, placing one knee on the bed. The mattress creaks under his weight, but his gaze never leaves yours. It's as if you're the only person in the world that matters to him right now. The heat emanating from his body is palpable, and you feel your heart race as his presence commands the room.
“You enjoying yourself?”
His tone is low. A seductive purr sends a wave of electricity through your veins. Hot like molten lava. Dripping like honey, sweet and luscious. They linger in the air, coating everything around you with a sticky warmth.
His name leaves your lips in a deep sigh. Soft walls squeeze your fingers.
As he discards his fingerless gloves, casting them aside like insignificant relics, you feel the pillow crumple beneath his weight. A testament to the force of his being. The air feels sizzling hot, thick with heat and suffocating in its intensity.
Leon’s arm flexes, the sinewy muscles bulging when put to work. Your eyes lock onto his, drinking in the raw masculinity and primal allure of his being. A contented moan escapes your lips, an instinctive reaction to the overwhelming sensuality of the moment.
“If I knew my words would get you so riled up,” his other hand cups your breast, thumb circling the erected nipple and watching as goosebumps rise over the sensitive skin, “I’d do this much sooner.”
His towering form casts a shadow over you as he leans closer. Lips so close you can almost taste the desire that emanated from him. The heat of his breath dances across your skin, making your senses swirl in a dizzying haze of lust; igniting a fire that burns with the intensity of Samson's strength.
“Wanna gimme a kiss?” he whispers, his lips almost brushing against yours. You’re still able to feel the soft graze of the plump skin atop of yours, sending a fluttering sensation to your heart.
You can't help but feel intoxicated by his voice, each word rolling off his tongue with a silky smoothness that sends shivers down your spine. It's almost like he's casting a spell, using his voice as a weapon to ensnare you in his grasp. And you willingly surrender, caught in the web of his honeyed words; like Delilah, powerless to his will, swept away by the power of his seduction.
Lips grazing his, you push your face upwards to be closer. The kiss is both gentle and fierce; a tantalizing dance of lips and tongues that leaves you breathless and wanting more. The taste of him a mix of mint and spice. You stop the movement of your wrist between your legs. Stilling, feeling the wet squeeze around your fingers, your mind becomes a blank canvas, a vast expanse of nothingness.
The taste of him lingers on your tongue as he pulls away. Thick fingers wrapping around your wrist, he nudges your fingers out of you. A displeased grunt leaves your lips at the sudden emptiness. Only to have your breath stop; watching as Leon brings your hand, fingers visibly sticky with your juices, tongue swirling around the tip of your index finger before taking two of the fingers in his mouth. It’s as if he’s tasting the forbidden fruit, savoring the flavor of your arousal like the sweetest nectar.
Feeling the wet tip of his tongue swirl around your fingers, you can’t help but let out a soft moan. The rough texture brushes over the pads of your fingers. Licking every drop of you off of your fingers, leaving them clean before he licks his own lips.
“Missed that taste.”
His eyes never leave yours, dark and intense with desire as he slowly releases your hand.
“Missed you almost that much too.”
His words wash over you like a warm embrace, seeping into your pores and settling deep within your bones. As his body moves over yours, his hands glide across the burning expanse of your skin, tracing patterns of passion that leave you breathless in anticipation. The soft touch of his lips on your navel sends ripples of pleasure through your body, each sensation building on the last until you're gasping for air.
Leon sinks to his knees at the end of the bed; his movements smooth and graceful. Years of never-ending training left him in full control of every muscle. Arms sliding underneath your knees, he holds you firmly as he grips your hips with unyielding strength.
A single tug. Confident in its prosecution. He brings you to the edge of the bed, your glistening cunt hovering in front of his face. The sight of him there, between your legs, both captivating and overwhelming.
The wet tip of his tongue peaks from within his kiss-bruised lips.
Before you know it, you’re completely undone. A mess. Leon's tongue turns your body into a temple of pleasure; his movements sinuous and calculated. With each flick and swirl of his tongue, he's coaxing you to heights of ecstasy.
His tongue traces every inch of your throbbing cunt, flicking and teasing your clit as you squirm beneath him, one hand grasping his soft hair while the other squeezes your breast. His fingers, thick and rough, plunge deep inside of you, finding all the right spots to drive you wild. Each thrust of his hand sends jolts of pleasure through your body, making you moan and writhe with need.
"Such a fucking filthy little thing," he growls against your skin, the heat of his breath making you shiver. He devours you with his mouth and hands, taking you to the brink of ecstasy and back again; fingers scissoring and pumping, working you over until you're a quivering mess of desire.
The blunt pressure of the tips of his fingers pressing mildly against your inner walls sending pinnacles of bliss across your body until you’re mewling at the sharp pleasure that ripples down your spine.
You claw at the sheets, unable to control the waves of sensation that crash over you.
And then, with a final, shuddering gasp, you let yourself go, your body convulsing in waves of pure pleasure. Ecstasy; Leon’s name a sweetened melody on the tip of your tongue.
He stands up afterwards, a towering figure before your eyes. Your aching legs fall from his shoulders onto the bed. Leon looms over you, appearing almost god-like, a divine being sent to ravage you with its passion.
Disposing of his shirt, you lay on the bed motionless, senses on high and in anticipation as you watch the man strip. With every article of clothing that comes off, Leon’s body reveals itself in all its glory. Shoulders and chest sculptured, shaped by years of intense training. Someone who’s worked hard to achieve such a physique. Rippling muscles that flex with every movement he makes. His arms thick with veins and biceps that bulge with raw strength, capable of holding you up effortlessly. You can see every ridge of his abs, each one chiseled to perfection.
“Enjoyin’ the view?” he rasps after ridding himself of the last article while you shamelessly stare at Leon’s sheer size and the strength of him.
“Very much,” you breathe out when he crawls on top of you.
His cock rests atop your stomach, heavy and pulsing with need; leaking as he marks you in his precum. Yet, neither of you moves. Unbothered, you remain locked in his gaze before his lips capture yours in a short passionate kiss. Drawn together by the irresistible pull of gravity, your lips meet in a collision of desire and longing.
Legs wrapping high around his waist, his hand leaves the side of your neck and travels the side of your body, igniting a trail of heat as it goes. Leon strokes the length of your thigh, only stopping when his fingers rest under your knee momentarily. Then you feel the blunt tip press against your aching cunt. The anticipation inside you unravels like a tightly wound spool, releasing a flood of sensations that spreads throughout your body.
“Ready?” he breathes out; his warm breath tickles your skin as his lips brush against yours once again.
The silky texture of his hair brush against your fingertips. Legs tightening around his upper body, you pull him closer to you. “Yeah.”
The pressure against your throbbing cunt intensifies as Leon presses forward. The crown of his cock splits you open with ease, enveloping him. Welcoming him eagerly in your wet heat. As if he belongs there.
Leon’s touch’s electric, sending shivers down your spine as he claims you with each bite and kiss. His teeth graze your chin, softly nibbling at the skin as he lets out a guttural grunt. Keeping one hand on the side of your neck, possessive and tender, surely to feel the rapid pulse of your jugular vein, he hooks his thumb underneath your jaw and pushes upwards.
When your head is tilted upwards enough to his satisfaction, his lips latch on the front of your neck. Small, quick bites decorate the stretched skin. Followed by a wet kiss, he sucks on the skin. Vulnerable and exposed.
Moans cascade from your lips, an ode to his cock splitting you apart slowly. A divine intrusion into your depths, filling you.
He stills when he’s buried balls deep inside of you; bottoms out in your quivering walls, slick with post-orgasmic arousal.
The feeling of fullness, of being completely filled, is almost too much to bear. Your breath hitches in your throat, body trembling with pleasure as it strains to accommodate him; to make enough space to take him in.
Your eyes flatter shut as he waits, face nuzzling into the crook of your neck while his hand cups the underside of your breast with his thumb teasing your nipple in a leisurely manner.
A moment of content falls between you. Bodies molded together; two halves of a whole.
After a few seconds, you press the sole of your feet into his skin, feeling the taunt muscle contract underneath you.
A subtle but unmistakable gesture. A wordless plea for more.
A fuck me of sorts.
Your body speaks volumes, a language he's learned to decipher. And with a low growl, he responds to your invitation. A low roll of his hips. A test of your readiness. It becomes a measured beat that tests your strength, the pressure of his cock firmly pressed against the walls of your cervix.
It has you sent into a harmonious frenzy.
Leon continues with the rhythm. Relishing in the tight squeeze of your cunt, in the way you sing for him, his name a sacred hymn on your lips. Your body responds eagerly to his touch, every nerve ending on fire as pleasure courses through you.
His hands sear a blazing trail on your burning flesh. Every touch feels as if he’s branding you, etching himself onto your skin.
The wetness of his lips causes goosebumps to raise on your skin. Moving like a reverent prayer. Worship of your body as his tongue swipes over your sensitive nipples.
Your name escapes his lips and is met with a low moan.
Tantalizing and peaceful.
Leon’s unhurried movements slowly transform into something more. Rough and hasty. Teeth nibbling at your jawline, feeling the bone underneath the skin, your nails bite into the tight muscle of his shoulder blades. Surely to leave indents that will bloom into bruises and marks. Your back arch, offering yourself up to him as you focus on meeting his thrusts.
As his hand wanders down the length of your body, his fingers dance along the curves of your waist and hips before grazing the globes of your ass; giving it a rough squeeze before wrapping his fingers under your knee and pulling away from your neck.
Meanwhile, his other hand braces his body weight by your face. Leon’s fingers entwine around your ankle. Pushing your leg up and over his shoulder, you moan over the painful stretch of your hamstring as he gazes at you.
He moves with a frenzied urgency. Lowering himself to rest on his elbows, his fingers find their way to your clit.
The way he flicks over the sensitive nub elicits a series of moans and cries from you only to be silenced by his lips crashing onto yours.
The kiss is wet and messy. Hungry. Both of you eager to take and dominate, his tongue dancing with yours in a frenzied manner.
It's like he's a man possessed, lost in the rhythm of his movements and the feel of your body beneath him. You writhe and moan, lost in a haze of sensation and desire as he takes you higher towards that ultimate release. That sweet orgasm. Every motion is a symphony, a perfect blend of power and finesse, as he explores the contours of your body with a deep hunger.
Mind becoming blurry, your senses are consumed by the raw, primal desire Leon elicits with his thrusts. Moving to brace himself better, it feels impossible when you feel the blunt pressure hit even deeper than before. Gasping, you move your hips, trying to take him as deep as possible.
The smell of sweat and sex fills the air, and you can hear the sound of skin slapping against the skin as Leon moves with increasing speed and intensity. His determination to tear you apart only grows each time your hips meet, sending bolts of electricity throughout your every cell. His thumb flicks over your clit, applying pressure and circling the aching bud until you’re quivering underneath the mass of a man above you. Inside you.
The sound of his grunts and moans blends into a symphony of pleasure, each note building up the tension within you. You feel like a volcano on the brink of eruption, bubbling with molten passion until it finally snaps. Erupts.
A tidal wave of pleasure washes over you. Sweeping you in a vortex of delight. A thousand stars explode in your mind, each one brighter than the last, painting your vision with vibrant colors. Your body convulses, spasming in rhythm with the waves of pleasure that ripple through you.
Gasps leave your lips. Desperate for air, you cling to Leon, whose thrusts never wavered. Whose fingers continue to tease your clit, now throbbing and exploding with sensitivity. His eyes lock on yours, lips parted with low moans escaping from between before you bring his face down to you, swallowing each cry of pleasure but eventually, he pulls away.
You watch as Leon’s eyes snap shut, brows furrowing in pleasure as he stills. His full length buried inside of your spasming cunt, filling you up with his cum.
Your body’s spent. Yet your mind’s still reeling from the sheer intensity as Leon remains buried inside; his breath ragged and uneven before he pulls out with measured slowness, teasing your oversensitive clit with a gentle tap. You shudder at the sensation of him trickling out of you.
“Hi.”
The simple word leaves your mouth in a breathless whisper. A mere welcome that was meant to be addressed when he first entered your home instead of now. A warmth spreads through your body, settling low in your belly as you take in the sight of him; the way his blond hair falls across his forehead, resembling a halo of an angel. Cheeks tinted in light pink and lips curved into a small smile as he looks at you.
“Hi.”

My Utena Fansub Ep 2 (and Ep 1 rerelease)
Here's episode 2! A huge thank you to @dontbe-lasanya for their incredible efforts at editing my translation!
Also, episode 1 has been revised. I'll update the link on my original posts, but if you're looking at a reblog it will still have the old link. From now on, I'll be posting a link to a folder with all the episodes after each release, so you can easily find old episodes. You can find the new ep 1 and all other episodes as they release here:
Translation Discussion
Utena uses boku. There’s no way to convey this aspect of self-identified masculinity in english, so the translation needs to make up for it in other ways. One way I did this was the “Master” translation of 様 (sama), but this isn’t self-identified (in fact, Utena dislikes the use of 様). I saw a good opportunity to do this here:
まあ、一人部屋らしいから、クールな僕の趣味には合ってるよ。
I think I’ve got a room to myself. Kinda perfect for my bachelor lifestyle. (my translation)
I'm gonna have to be on the lookout in the future for other opportunities for Utena to gender themself masc!
-----
世界の殻を破壊せ... 世界を革命するために!
Destroy the shell... and revolutionise the world!
Other translations often translate this as "For the revolution of the world!" or "For the sake of revolutionizing the world!". I believe these translations are trying too hard to make explicit the function of ために to express purpose/aim. I think it's unnecessary - a simple "and" will do, because the fact that "revolutionising the world" is the point of "destroying the shell" is wholly self-evident through context.
-----
I didn’t have space to talk about the A-ko/B-ko translation or Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku in the first post, but there were some interesting decisions to be made!
かしらかしら、ご存じかしら?
My oh my, haven’t you heard? (my translation)
This was in important translation because it gets used so many more times in the show, and it needs to make sense in many different contexts. The shadow girls tend to echo their opening lines in their closing lines:
でも、勇者様、わざと負ける難しさをご存じかしら? かしらかしら、ご存じかしら?
but, sir knight, haven’t you heard how hard it is to lose a fight on purpose? My oh my, haven’t you heard? (my translation)
The opening line needs to be able to be recontextualised from a relatively innocent phrase that signifies the shadow girls are gossiping, to a more sinister taunting of “the knight” for being naive (or, in the first episode, not knowing what they’re getting into).
I went with “my, oh my” for かしらかしら because it sounds a bit old fashioned and feminine, just like the Japanese. I originally had “have you heard?” but it didn’t sound nearly taunting enough when repeated in he closing lines.
-----
絶対運命黙示録
Certain destiny: the Revelation! (my translation)
Most existing translations have this as “Absolute Destiny: Apocalypse” or “Absolute Destiny: Revelation”.
黙示録 is the word for the Book of Revelation, from the Bible. It’s not just describing any apocalypse, but the Biblical, Christian Revelation. I think “apocalypse” has become more generic in modern English, whereas “Revelation” is decidedly Biblical. This also influenced some of the decisions to jazz up the rest of the song to emphasise the Biblical references.
The word 絶対 can means “absolute” as in “without question”, but “absolute” has other meanings besides this in modern English (e.g. “extreme”). I decided to go with “certain” because I believe the original Japanese is trying to get across the unquestionable destiny of the Revelation: “It’s absolutely going to happen”. Also, maybe I’m too online but I think “absolute” just sounds silly here. Online vernacular has made “absolute” an almost jokey word (e.g. “absolute unit”).
However, I did include the classic name of the song as the lyric at the end of the song before it goes into the syllable switching chant:
絶対運命黙示闇
Absolute destiny: Apocalypse!
Note the slight difference here in the japanese. 闇 means darkness, and 黙示闇 isn't a real word, it's just a combination of "Revelation" and "darkness". The last kanji in the more common 黙示録 means "record" as in "the records of the Revelation", the Book of Revelation. While the meaning doesn't change much with the substitution of 闇, it makes the line feel a bit darker, a bit edgier, which made it feel appropriate to include the edgier classic name of the song here.
出生登録、洗礼名簿、死亡登録
Records of childbirth, records of baptism, records of death. (my translation)
Other translations have this as “birth records” and “baptismal registry”, which I think sound awkward. “Birth records” has too few syllables for the line of the song, and doesn’t sound poetical enough, while “baptismal registry” reeks of someone looking up the word in a dictionary and plopping it in without thinking about how it would sound in a haunting apocalyptic song.
もくし くしも しもく くもし もしく しくも
Revelation, Apocalypse Apocalypse, Revelation
The syllable switching chant is impossible to translate - doing such a thing in English just makes it sound silly. Since this line comes directly after the switch up with the original song name, I decided to use the synonyms Revelation and Apocalypse in an alternating sequence to give the same impression of a haunting, cult-like chant. I think this alone makes the decision to use the original song name worth it! Really happy with how the song has turned out.
