#extrovert things

[i-t-guy-in-the-sky]

They say that every relationship needs to have one introvert and one extrovert to achieve a good balance.

And that distinction is why I'm currently safe in my space station and my wife is at this very moment attending the wedding of a family she's never met because she "got chatting" to the bride in the coffee shop this morning.

YES. Even when it doesn't get to that point, it's still just *nice* sometimes, to have little low-stakes moments with people you'll never see again. I literally just wrote an essay that's a "how to" for approaching strangers in public. <3 https://bladespark.dreamwidth.org/1652481.html

if you spend your life bitching and complaining about the fact people are 'expected' to engage in the dreaded pointless banal '''small talk''' instead of learning to trade pleasantries with the people around you, you will never know the true and heady joy of doing a dumb bit with a complete stranger and as a result your soul will remain small

something there’s a distinct lack of in batman fanfics, especially ‘brucie wayne’ centred ones is the networking he’d have to be doing on the daily to maintain that sorta reputation

like, we all know the man knows how to throw a gala but where are the brunches? the happy hour gossip session with his cover’s clique of the week? the golf club dinners he has to attend every third week of the month? what about visits to hospitals or schools or the soup kitchens for his philanthropy? come on now

you’re telling me he’s the most sought after celebrity in gotham city and beyond, an infamous playboy and supposed extroverted people person who can use long holidays that can last weeks at a time away in tropical islands supposedly partying it up as a plausible excuse to hide his injuries sometimes but when he’s in gotham he’s either at wayne enterprise meetings or tucked away at home alone? nah

i want to see bruce having to really utilise those meditation breathing skills he learned in the league while he’s having to sit upright in a chair with 4 broken ribs, a sprained wrist and a minor concussion in a painfully bright restaurant at 3pm on a wednesday having to listen to bethany-anne titter on about the latest gossip about her neighbours affair with the maid that’s basically an open secret by now like pls there’s so many different routes you can go with this depending on the genre,,, make bruce have to REALLY commit to that cover of his lmao

Was just forced to remember the time my mom sent me to a youth group for troubled kids when I was 14 and they made me attend counselling and I showed up to my first session late wearing a shirt that said “sorry I’m late I didn’t want to come here” WHY DID PEOPLE THINK I WAS SHY BACK THEN

shy!Eddie x extroverted!reader

summary: you help Eddie through your first time sleeping together

cw: MDNI (18+) smut (p in v) fingering, Eddie sucks on readers tits, reader sucks on Eddie’s nipples, make out session, grinding

Ever since you and Eddie had kissed for the first time, it seemed like all you had been doing since then was making out. Not that you minded. At all. He had become quite the kisser and you were always so desperate to have his lips on yours or wherever he was able to kiss. It didn’t matter as long as they were on your skin. They were so soft and he always tasted like a mixture of mint and tobacco from the cigarettes he would smoke and the gum he would chew to cover up the smell.

He was unlike anyone you had ever been with in that way. Despite how rough he could get sometimes, his words were always so sweet and gentle. He loved worshipping you and telling you just how much he was enjoying himself every time. And you’d do the same, making sure that he knew exactly what you like and what you didn’t. You were both so careful with each other, making sure that the interaction was enjoyed by the both of you equally.

The only light in your room was the candles you had lit to make the atmosphere more romantic. You were on top of Eddie, taking exactly what you wanted from his as he was pliant underneath you. Your hands moved to his hair while his stayed on your back, clutching at the fabric, wanting to move lower, but he couldn’t get himself to.

You pulled away to catch your breath and you could see his brown eyes filling with lust as he looked at you. His chest rose and fell as he caught sight of the look you were giving him. Your pupils were blown and your lips were kiss bitten. You looked like goddam dream.

Eddie’s eyes moved down to your chest, the tops of your tits on display since your tank top had been pulled down some in your movement. His dick felt hard as he caught sight of your hard nipples peeking through the thin fabric. He wanted to touch them, feel them underneath them. He wanted to suck them until your skin was purple and wanted to hear your moans and whines as he worked his magic.

You could see his mouth practically watering as he stared at your chest and you moved closer so they were in his face and brought your lips right by his ear, your breath causing him to shiver.

“You wanna suck on them?” You asked before pulling away. You pulled your bottom lip between your teeth and watched him nod. He had never done anything like that before, but he was more than willing to try it out.

“Want to so bad,” he whimpered. You grabbed his hands and moved them to the bottom of your shirt. He grabbed onto it and pulled it away from your body, gasping as he got a full view of your tits. He had never seen a pair in real life before and yours were perfect. He slowly reached out to touch them and gave them a squeeze, looking down at them in delight.

“So, how do I do this?” He had no idea what he was doing and wanted you to guide him. He knew that you’d be able to with no problem and wanted to know exactly how to make you feel good.

“It’s just like giving a hickey, but on my tits. Just do whatever feels natural, baby.”

“Oh-okay.”

“Do you want me to show you?” He wanted that so bad. His cock was hardening even more at thinking about it.

“Please,” he begged and you were quick to remove his shirt to get to work. You had seen him shirtless many times but seeing him there, underneath you, so desperate for you made you even more wet. You leaned down and slowly peppered Eddie’s chest with kisses before moving down to the spot right above his nipple. You continued with your kisses, mixing your tongue in with it.

You then began to suck on the spot and Eddie let out a gasp as the foreign feeling. You continued to suck on the skin, eliciting moans from Eddie.

“That feels incredible, baby. Keep going.” You gave the skin another suck and swiped your tongue across the area to diffuse the sting. You then moved down to Eddie’s nipple and swiped your tongue across and Eddie let out a whimper at the feeling.

You straddled his waist and began to grind against his crotch, feeling it harden beneath you as you did so. Between that and you covering his chest in hickeys, he was going crazy. He could feel your wet underwear against his jeans and he felt himself wanting to know what it felt like inside you.

You took the whole thing into your mouth, giving it a hard suck. Eddie’s back arched in pleasure and you took the opportunity to slip your arms behind his back, pulling him closer so you had better access to him.

“So good, baby. Love the way that feels,” he moaned and you sucked some more, swirling your tongue around his nipple as you did so. His hands moved to your back and dug into the skin, scratching up and down it, causing you to whine at the sensation.

You kept grinding against him and he whined at the sensation, telling you how good it felt along the things you were doing to his chest. It was all overstimulating, but there was no way that he’d let you stop.

You removed your mouth from his chest and moved over to his other nipple to give it the same attention. You never expected him to enjoy it that much, but you loved how much he did. He was completely coming undone and he was eating up every single one of your moves.

You licked and sucked until the skin turned a purple color and Eddie came down from him orgasm. His back was back against the bed and you pulled away from him, admiring the marks you had made to his skin, the spots still shining with your spit.

“You wanna try now?” You asked and Eddie nodded in excitement. You laid next to him and he was quick to lay on top of you, his body flush to yours. He was still breathing heavily, but he wasn’t going to let it get in the way of making you feel just as much pleasure as he just experienced.

He lowered his face to your chest and pressed a kiss to the spot in between your breasts. He mimicked exactly what you had done and pressed a few kisses to the spot before introducing his tongue, swirling it around the skin. He then gave it a suck and you gasped at the feeling. He moved his way over to your left tit, continuing to lick and suck as he did so and took no time to lick a strip across your nipple.

He swirled his tongue around the sensitive skin and let out a chuckle as it hardened under his tongue. He gave it a few move licks then took the whole thing into his mouth, giving it a hard suck causing your back to arch in euphoria. You could feel his dick tenting his pants against you and your underwear was dampening even more.

“You want me to take care of that?” You asked in between your moans and felt him shake his head.

“Not now,” he replied as took your nipple between your teeth, giving it a pull. You moaned loudly as your back arched even more and Eddie swore he was going to cum at the sound of it.

“Need your mouth on my cunt, Eddie. Need you so bad. Please.”

“Honey, I don’t know-” he licked his lips. Sucking on your tits was one thing but eating you out was another.

“I need your fingers, your mouth, cock, something.”

“Hey, hey, it’s okay. I can do fingers. Just- tell me what to do, honey.” He wanted your exact instructions to make sure he was doing it right.

“Stick them inside me, Eddie, please.” You were whining, pleading for him. He had never seen you that way and he had to admit that he was eating it up.

He slowly pushed up your skirt and pulled down your underwear, leaning down so he could see it. Just like tits, he has never seen an actual vagina in person, just the diagram from sex ed and the ones he saw when he watched porn. But yours didn’t compare. All of them had been waxed, but yours wasn’t, the curly hair very visible. He liked that, though. That you didn’t feel like you had to shave in order to impress him.

He looked up at you and slowly stuck his fingers inside your cunt, the wet area feeling very strange to him, but he liked it. You moaned at the feeling and looked up at him, noticing that he needed a little coaching.

“Thrust them in and out. Slowly and then you can move faster if you want later.” He did as you said and began thrusting his fingers in and out of you slowly and you moaned once again. God. He could listen that all day. You were so fucking hot.

“Just like that, baby. Keep going.” Eddie quickened his pace and pumped his fingers a little faster and you moaned even louder. If he didn’t get inside you soon, he was going to cream his pants for sure.

“Need to get inside you,” he whimpered and you sat up, nodding enthusiastically.

“Are you sure?” You knew he was a virgin and wanted to be sure that he was ready to take that step.

“Never been more sure about anything in my life.”

“Okay, let’s see it.” You sat up, very interested to see just how big his dick was. Just from the outline in his jeans, you could assume that he was very large.

He removed his pants and underwear in record speed and his dick sprung free. It was even bigger than you could have imagined and you could see beads of pre leaking from it. God, he really did need you.

You grabbed a condom from your bedside table drawer and helped him put it on before laying back on the bed. Eddie hovered over you and you looked into his eyes, bringing your hands up to his cheeks.

“I just want you to know that you can back out at any moment. If you’re uncomfortable or don’t like it, let me know and we’ll stop.”

“Okay,” he nodded. “I’ll let you know.” With that, Eddie lined himself up with your pussy, both of you letting out moans as he entered you. He then began to slowly pump into you and the sensation was like nothing he had ever experienced before but he liked it. He liked it a lot.

He leaned over and pressed his lips to yours as he pumped into you, your moans being captured by his mouth. His hands reached for yours and he gave them a squeeze as moved faster, moans and whines passing through both of your lips. His mouth moved down to your neck and he pressed multiple kisses to the skin as he continued to pump in and out of you.

“Fuck, you feel so good, baby,” he moaned.

“You’re doing great, hon. Just like that,” you encouraged and he loved hearing those words. Words of affirmation were definitely his love language. He loved being told that he was doing a good job or just general being praised for whatever he was doing.

“Harder?”

“God, yes.” Eddie thrusted the fastest and hardest as he could and you practically screamed, but you hadn’t reached your climax yet. With just a few more pumped, you were sure that you would.

His pressed one more kiss to your shoulder the pulled away, not missing how your tits were bouncing as he pounded into you. You were so perfect underneath him and in that moment, he swore that he was in love with you.

You both reached your climaxes soon after and Eddie pulled out of you and disposed of the condom before joining you under the blanket, your naked bodies pressed together as you cuddled up. You ran his hands through his sweaty hair as you watched his eyes close. You watched him for a while before you drifted into your own sleep, deciding that maybe you were just as if love with him as he was with you.

Attended a knitting and crochet group called Stitchin’ in the Stacks at a public library and it was really nice! Glad I made the effort to get out and try to meet new people (encouraged also by my partner). I plan on attending again :)

another thing i love about laios:

HE IS GENUINELY A REALLY GOOD LEADER!!

despite struggling with the finer points of socializing, he has all the qualities necessary to be a good leader.

(i refer to the manga a lot in this post as someone who's read most of the manga at this point, but i avoided any specific spoilers)

He cares about all his teammates' well-being

He is extremely level-headed in a crisis

He is excellent at strategizing (within his areas of expertise; in the manga someone eventually points out he's pretty much useless at fighting other humans, lol)

If a plan fails, he is immediately thinking up a fallback plan - he doesn't give up

He is acutely aware of his teammates' strength and weaknesses, and accurately assigns them tasks suited to them in times of need.

He is perhaps not innately a 'leader-type'; he's fine deferring to the rest of the party most of the time, even when he doesn't understand why. (Just going along with the blindfold in the sauna for example, lol.) He was ready to head back into the dungeon by himself before Chilchuck and Marcille volunteered to come along. He doesn't think of himself as particularly smart or special. And when the party meets others (such as the old gnome couple) they don't tend to assume Laios is the leader.

But he has an unwavering vision (during the story it's rescuing Falin), and, you see it again and again: when they enter difficult combat, or any time things fall apart and everyone is panicking, Laios steps up and takes charge. His calmness helps everyone else calm down, and they generally follow his lead. They intuitively look to him in a crisis, to the point they're shocked the few times he doesn't have any ideas.

It kind of ties into another thought I have; he is repeatedly seen as "having no interest in other people" by other characters, but this isn't really true! He struggles to understand people and he is aware that they struggle to understand him. This leads to him mostly focusing on the things he IS good at understanding, such as monsters. But he genuinely makes a big effort to understand the people he cares about. In the manga, there are times you see him think deeply about his friends' struggles and motivations. For much of the early arcs, he understands Chilchuck better than Marcille or Senshi do. He and Marcille don't get each other that well at the start of the story, but by the end they have a very strong reciprocal friendship.

I could go on about it honestly but this post is already very long. Tl;dr laios one of the characters of all time to me and i think people should appreciate his leadership skills more!!
