PLEASE UNLEASH your hadestown demons!!!!!

unleash my hadestown demons is right this is a BEAST thank you very much ive satisfied the brain worms by dumping all my thoughts under the cut

first off. the beauty of live theatre allows for so much nuance and beauty to demonstrated so i cant even begin to cover all the things that could make me insane its so wonderful i love live theatre everyone should watch at least one live theatre production i believe it will solve at least one problem they have

the tragedy of it all!! its a sad song but we sing it anyway, in hopes that we hope that orpheus doesn't turn. but he will. bc he loves eurydice so much so he went down to the underworld to save her.

guys. the repeated, cyclical nature of everything. its an old tale from way back when and its a sad song but they sing it anyway. the point of hadestown is the HOPE of it all wait theres an article (https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/theatre/anais-mitchell-hadestown-west-end-broadway-b1134613.html) regarding mitchell's thoughts on orpheus that make me insane im gonna paste a quote here:

"If Hadestown has a moral, she says, then it’s “you have to try, you have to have hope, not because success is a given – it’s not. Orpheus fails. We heroicise” – here she breaks off to apologise that jet lag has led to her making up words – “we heroicise Orpheus not because he succeeds but because he tries, and that endeavour alone is worthwhile. How to live, and not merely survive, is to believe things could change.” ARE U KIDDING ME OURGHH

which brings me to the topics of like. climate change and capitalism that the play discusses its so good. the fact that there's no spring or fall, only summers and winter because of persephone's absences, how "is it true" is just a song abt labor protests red carnations are a symbol of love and passion yes, but in germany theyre a symbol of the working class protest. its SO important hades has just created an industrial revolution, has built a wall, has workers work forever, "why we build the wall" is soooo incredible "hey little songbird" "chant" all the songs that take place IN hadestown itself are sooo gritty so despondent in a way its insane.

theres another article that discusses sm of it AND discusses like portrayals of persephone that i REALLY like. im gonna paste it here PLEASE read it it has so much good stuff from a classics person regarding it and OURGH too good

orpheus's "to the world we dream about" but then also "the one we live in now" like oh.okay. im NORMAL….

if u noted every single lalala in hadestown it would be 6 min long. the leitmotif oh i am so normal actually.

okay im not rlly a music person i call myself music adjacent bc my two closest friends r music ppl LMAOJDHJS but like. the first time u hear eurydice say "i do" i.e what you say to seal a marriage is after she tells orpheus she signed the papers. she does not say "i do" in the entireity of wedding song, where they talk abt their nuptials. she says "i do" in informing orpheus she cant come up with him. that she chose this life (or death i guess) of her own doing. isnt that vile….

in wedding song she goes "is he always like this" and hermes responds but then in "a gathering storm" she asks the same question to no response.. idk what's there but something is there.

hermes being the narrator thats involved in the play is SOOOO delicious for my brain, the way he switches between a character involved in orpheus and eurydice getting together, invested in their relationship to a all-knowing narrator who knows the end bc he sees this every time.

there's this sense that only orpheus and eurydice do not know they r in a repeated play. which heightens their love at first sight, the "i feel like i know u but ive just met you" OHHHHH my god.

the original nytw script having orpheus say "ur early. i missed u." directly paralleling hades and persephone but in a different context because OHHHHMYGOD and not even that but the fact that mitchell took it out bc she believed it engaged the brain when the moment should only directly engage the heart. so she had the lovers say each other's name. one last time. im soooo normal

also this is bc one time i was thinking abt hadestown and mitski's remember my name played so . just that song in the context of hadestown is SOOOO bc like. like. how eurydice couldn't rmbr herself when she became a worker but orpheus went down to save her and she remembered.

when he turns back and says.

"it's you" "it's me"

^ are you fucking kidding me. the sort of disbelief the happiness the love the incoming grief im inconsolable.

when orpheus turns back, eurydice says his name w so much joy SO MUCH JOY she is not upset at him. "what was there to complain of, except that she'd been loved?" <- quote from metamorphoses

like yes we wish orpheus doesnt turn around but at the end of the day, orpheus is still the trusting guy he was in the beginning. EURYDICE on the other hand KNOWS how cruel the world is and chooses to trust orpheus anyway. but. "it's a tragedy" and doubt creeps in. part of the tragedy lies in the fact that eurydice, "all ive ever known is to hold my own" eurydice runs after him w open arms, chooses to trust him, chooses to follow the trial, and he still turns around. BECAUSE he loves her ohhhmygod im so normal

obligatory mention to the fact that orpheus could never finish the song he was working on because it was a duet. like okay lol. im fine im normal hahahahaha are u fucking kidding me.

hades and orpheus are mirrors, there r two relationships in the musical obviously and it is clear theyre mirrors of each other even w/o the original script line but like.

hades gives orpheus the test that he himself goes through every spring. hades is the villain of the story yes but he is not evil. he gives orpheus the same trial, sees that if orpheus can judge him for losing faith in his wife through the course of their relationship, let's put his romantic nature to the test. let's see if he can feel the absence of his love and keep going. and he cant. bc orpheus has never had to learn how to fend for himself. so when u take away his support system, when u take anyone's support system, how is he, how r we supposed to succeed?

just. the song "how long" encapsulates hades and persephone's relationship SO WELL. "the girl means nothing to me." "i know. but she means EVERYTHING to him" the fact that this is the first time we persephone REFUSE a drink bc shes had enough oh were SOMBER somber the way the whole song just parallels itself and every verse GOD.

the love was there. the hope was there. its a sad song. its a love song.

every single time before they leave. every time they're on stage, eurydice is in front of orpheus. he trusts that she is before him and she never doubts that he is there. it is when their positions change, him in front and her behind that he bends. it is then that doubt comes in.

those r just the like the thoughst of the music and themes itself we can talk abt the ppl and the live play now:

so first. can we talk abt this we need to talk abt for reeve carney's last show the original orpheus his last show he didnt turn back. he and eurydice lived they passed the trial. sorry that makes me so insane bc like. imagine u play orpheus. doomed to a lifetime of looking back at ur lover and your final show, u finally get to stay. oh im very normal i just love the nuances of live theatre!!! what a send off!!!!

THEN we can talk abt how eva and solea play PERFECT eurydices, full of grit and used to the cruel nature of the world. and how lola tung i feel is a DECENT singer but shes not a eurydice shes so light and soft but idk. who am i to say.

also the soundtrack is just SO incredible so is the set design there's not a single ounce of stage space that is wasted like there are so many nuances like i cant even talk abt all that there is my FAVORITE musical for SOOO many reasons ough.

yeah i think that's it. this took me MULTIPLE hours and i feel drained abt talking abt all this. WOW i love hadestown not normal amounts. i can't die before i see this live its one of my goals i just need to see it live on broadway.

#putting this in #2 am ramblings #bc i invested too much brainpower and time into this LAMSODJHHDFJSK #anyway. yeah <3 that's all. there r so many more nuances you could have w every decision made onstage for each production and it saddens me #that i cant know them all. but theres a beauty in that as well.#hadestown #orpheus and eurydice #guys orpheus and eurydice are actually my second favorite greek myth LSMSNBDGHSUJHD but god theres just so much. OURGH

3 Gifts To Be Your Skin’s Valentine

Introduction

Valentine's Month is here! As time to show some love to the one constant companion that goes through thick & thin with you—your skin. Why not give your skin to enjoy something that it craves rather than focusing solely on traditional gifts? Here, we are, with three thoughtful gifts that will leave your skin feeling pampered, refreshed and ready to glow.

3 TIPS!

1. Relook at Your Skincare Routine

The first gift for your skin will be to reassess your natural skincare product / routine if you haven’t done it yet. To put the former season’s products in the backseat, if not needed anymore. A quick review will let you make an informative decision of whether the current products are still effective or need some tweaks or shall you change it completely. The decision entirely depends on the weather, your skin type, skin concerns & the goals that you seek to achieve at the top. Take the time to understand your skin's unique needs and adjust your routine accordingly.

Just like any relationship, your skin can benefit from a little excitement. It's now time, to shock your skin with invigorating practices that will have the role to bring back the natural radiance.

Incorporate Ice Dipping into your natural skincare routine. It is a well-known method to boost circulation and reduce inflammation.

Physical exfoliation using DIYs (with ingredients that are easily available in everyday household)

For Scrub: Coffee/cocoa

Mix one tbsp of coffee with one tbsp of rice flour. You may also add a drop of honey. After that, add 2 tbsp of lukewarm to the mixture to create a thick paste. Apply it to the face and gently scrub. Let the paste sit for another few minutes until it dries. At last, rinse and pat your face dry to witness glowing, beautiful skin.

For Mask: Besan

Take 1 tsp (teaspoon) of Besan, 1 tsp of Multtani Mitti & a pinch of turmeric powder in a bowl. Add a few drops of Rose Water & mix them properly to make a fine paste. Apply it evenly on your face and let it dry for 10-20 mins. Wash it off with lukewarm water.

Gentle massage

Want to know a little secret? By boosting the circulation in your face, you are giving a way to make your skin look more awake than ever! Just a quick facial massage can send a wave of blood and oxygen to your skin What does it do? It Increases the blood flow which results by eliminating puffiness in your face, especially under your eyes (we all know, how much we hate that). It also evens your skin tone and helps to detoxify your skin.

A session of rigorous yoga

Oh, what a Yoga session can’t do! Everyday yoga will stimulate the blood flow, promoting a healthy and vibrant complexion. Not to mention, let your mind & soil be in the much-needed peace. 3. Rejuvenate Mind & Body:

A definite answer that we have heard from most of the users, is that, when hearing the word Skincare, the first thing that comes to mind is ‘Face Skin’ but in reality, it extends beyond the face, it encompasses the entire body that includes making your palms, hands, legs & feet soft to touch. It is much needed to treat yourself and your skin to the luxurious experience of essential oils. Look for products infused with natural oils like lavender, chamomile or rosehip, known for their soothing and rejuvenating properties. You'll achieve a holistic sense of well-being that will reflect in your skin's radiance.

Conclusion:

So there you have it—a love letter to your skin in three acts! People may come & go but this journey of yours of self-love & radiant natural skincare must remain a constant because your skin is your Forever Valentine! Now, whoever asks you what’s the secret behind your gorgeous skin, you can say proudly about your Forever Valentine (wink emoticon).

Have a great Valentine's Day!

Ok. So here’s my Downton Abbey: A New Era review: not really spoiler-y, but might be if you’ve not seen it yet.

I just saw the film this afternoon. The theatre was full, approximately 100 women and about two men. Many came in groups and sat together.

I plan on going back next week because I’m sure I missed some things and I just want to go again.

In my humble opinion A New Era was much, much better than the first movie. Honestly, I can now pretend that the first movie was some bizarre Julian Fellowes dream - a la Bobby Ewing in the shower. All the out of character things never happened. Molesley never made an idiot out of himself in front of the King and Queen and the downstairs crew weren’t running around scheming and playing the tricksters.

A New Era is the movie that should have been made in 2018. I think it hit the right tone between comedy and drama. I would have loved more of a true downstairs plot line, but there were a few nuggets of fan fiction-y stuff to keep me happy.

🗝🍷Chelsie - Seeing Charlie and Elsie at home, reading in bed was worth the price of admission alone, even though it was a short scene. I liked that Elsie was less snippy with Charlie in this movie as opposed to the first film. She was once again the nippy-sweetie as opposed to just being nippy. She was genuinely empathetic to Charlie at the end of the movie when they’ve learned not so shocking news. That’s the Elsie Hughes I’ve come to know and love; don’t know where she was in the first film, but I’m glad she’s back. Same with Charlie. We got to see his different sides, not just grumpy bear. The scene with Mary was touching; I love when Charlie shows his father figure, tender side. Chelsie have obviously settled into a happy marriage and all appears right in their world. Also, in the role reversal scene, Elsie was every inch the upstairs countess. I’d have loved to hear Charlie and Elsie’s conversation about her costume. I have a feeling he was impressed.

Mrs. Patmore - at one point, Mrs. P. looked like she’d just rolled up from her house of ill repute. 🤭😉 But, I’m here for it. The scene with her plotting at the dinner table was funny, and sweet. Mrs. P deserves a happy ending. You go, girl!

Daisy - was much less annoying than normal. Obviously, marriage agrees with her. I enjoyed seeing her and Andy settling into young married life.

Baxley- the movie theatre erupted into applause. Nothing more needs to be said.

Anna and Bates - they are happy. Finally.

Thomas - hopefully, he will finally be happy.

Denker - wtf happened to her hair?

I’m less interested in the upstairs folks, but that doesn’t mean I’m uninterested.

Mary - where is the Blessed Lady Mary? Hello? 😂 Seriously, I like Mary when she’s nice, but I like her bitchy side too. We got one snide remark at Edith’s expense. Maybe Mary has matured which is good because it is clear that she’s the new Dowager. Her life has already paralleled that of her grandmother even down to the type of marriage they have/had with semi-absentee husbands. Still, Mary’s quip game needs some work to live up to her grandmother’s standards.

Edith - is using her brain again. Thank goodness for that.

Cora and Robert - are blissfully happy, but why is Robert so tan?

Tom and Lucy - will be living at Felsham Hall. I wonder what Lady Jane thinks about that?🤔

The Dowager - Dame Maggie Smith - 👏🏻👏🏻. I was warned about the last 30 mins of the film, and that analysis was correct. Two hankies were definitely needed. A group of 20 year olds sitting down from me were sniffling too as were some other ladies at the opposite end.

I will say that seeing a few of the actors was a bit jarring as they have, quite naturally, aged (haven’t we all?). It reminded me that Downton can’t go on forever with all the same actors. Of course, I’d love a tv spin off with the Carson’s running their B&B with Mrs. P and Mr. Mason popping by, perhaps little Johnny Bates comes by after school for cookies. Ah, fan fiction!

It seems like Julian Fellowes has tied up all the loose ends neatly. Carson is back in charge, Cora will live, and Mary is facing up to her destiny as Downton matriarch.

If this is Downton’s farewell, I’m well-satisfied.

—trade secrets |myg|

⟢ pairing: CEO!Yoongi x Assistant!Reader

⟢ word count: 3.4k

⟢ genre + warnings: coworkers to lovers au || nsfw 18+ some angast, smut, & fluff: 𝘴𝘮𝘭𝘶𝘧𝘧™️; explicit sex: kissing, oral f. receiving, fingering, spanking, unprotected vaginal penetration, creampie, semi-public sex (office, bathroom)

⟢ summary: you’ve been pining over your boss forever, but when you and he finally cross that line, it’s not exactly all hearts and rainbows.

⟢ authors note: originally posted to twitter, i hope you enjoy!

Sat at your desk, you shuffled the papers neatly in order to staple them at the top left hand corner. The finished report was for the 2:30 PM meeting, and your boss would be needing it by 1 PM to review it for his presentation. Out of all of the assistants for the department, he trusted you the most. After several years of working for the company, you were basically Min Yoongi’s personal assistant, despite there being 3 of you to serve the 3 project managers.

This had been a foreign concept when you had first joined the company, used to being assigned to a specific manager at your old job, but you enjoyed this set up so much more. It allowed you to help each other handle all of the tasks as a group, being more efficient. It also helped with having days off, without it impacting work since there were still 2 assistants who knew what was going on no matter what projects were being handled. But for Min Yoongi, you were his favorite.

Of course, out of the other 2 project managers, Park Jimin and Jung Hoseok, you felt like Yoongi was your favorite too. Ever since starting, you had just gravitated towards him. He was the complete opposite of his coworkers, who were both loud and rambunctious. This didn’t mean Yoongi didn’t also get loud, on the contrary, he could definitely raise his voice, but he was typically calm and quiet, often sitting back and listening before speaking.

You on the other hand, were definitely more like Jimin and Hoseok. You supposed this was why you liked Yoongi so much. He balanced out your wild nature, the calming flower to settle your fluttering butterfly wings on and just… rest. Not that he knew any of this. Yoongi was blind to the way that you pined after him.

“Y/N, do you have that report ready?” Yoongi’s voice, a honeyed, low sound reverberated in the space above your head, and you looked up, startled. So caught up in the daydream that always took over when you were fresh from the carbload of lunch, you felt yourself heat up as the star of the very daydream held his calloused hand out to you.

“Oh, y-yes, Yoongi-ssi, right here.”

You gathered up the report you had recently stapled and placed it in his waiting hand as he cleared his throat, nimble fingers straightening his tie. How one subtle movement could send your body into overdrive made no sense to you, but his eye contact conveyed so much more than just a look. It filled you with a heat that had nothing to do with the summer temperatures.

“Thank you… I’ll get you when it’s time for the meeting.” His free hand lightly brushed your forearm, lingering, leaving a burning sensation in its wake. You wanted nothing more than to be wrapped in his touch, a fire spreading across your body.

The meeting went off without a hitch, as you knew it would, and slowly you packed up the conference room of the equipment that had been used for the presentation. As the assistant to the project managers, you were privy to all the plans, and knew that you would be working non-stop the next few weeks to help get everything done for the managers. Their project was approved by their CEO, and you knew starting tomorrow, it would be all engines go.

Pushing the cart with the projector and company laptop back out into the hallway, you watched as the managers walked off ahead of you, headed to their separate offices—located next to each other—as you wheeled the tech cart back to the IT wing.

“Thank you so much Jungkook!” You smiled at your best friend of 8 years, who had helped you and one of the other assistants, set up the presentation slides on the new system Jimin had wanted to utilize. A tall, muscular nerd, (who also happened to be dating the other said assistant) your best friend pushed his glasses a little higher up his nose as he took the cart from you.

“Not a problem, babe. Hey.. what did Yoongi think of your skirt?” He whispered, winking at you.

“He didn’t even bat an eye. It’s pointless, Kook. He’s never gonna notice me.” You sigh, bending at the waist to lean against his desk. Your elbows braced your weight as you wiggled your hips.

“Well maybe if you did this little dance for him, he would.”

You laugh.

“No way, so I can get sent to HR for sexual harassment training? Please. That retraining video is a snooze fest.” You continue swaying side to side, more so to stretch out the kink in your lower back from sitting so long working on the presentation than anything, when Jungkook’s eyes grow impossibly bigger. He said nothing though; you assumed he’s reacting to your words about the harassment video. That is, until a voice cut through the silence.

“Y/N, u-uhm.. When you’re done with IT, can you—actually, I can, uhm, I can handle it myself.”

You had just managed to take in the sight of a shocked Min Yoongi, eyes focused on your ass as you put it on display, before he was whirling from the room, his pale porcelain skin a blotchy red.

Jungkook’s laughter cut through the embarrassed silence as you stand up, hands covering your face as you cringe internally at what had just happened. Leaving Jungkook’s office a few minutes later, you couldn’t help but smile a little bit through the mortification at the way Yoongi stuttered as he stared at your ass.

“Y/N, can you email me over the notes from the meeting yesterday?”

Yoongi paused on his way out of the office at your desk, several days after the mishap in Jungkook’s IT department. He hadn’t appeared to be affected when you had seen him back on your side of the building not even 10 minutes after the incident, and had seemed rather nonplussed once you had made it back to your desk and began sorting through your tasks. Now that several days had passed, you had also gone back to acting normal. If normal consisted of the secret pining over your boss and complaining to your best friend and his girlfriend at happy hour that yet again another ploy to catch Yoongi’s eye had failed.

“I’ll have the info emailed over to you now.”

“Thanks; I’m headed out to grab lunch, do you want anything?”

You smiled at him, shaking your head no.

“I brought something to eat, but thank you Yoongi-ssi.”

Yoongi began to walk away towards the elevators when he stopped and turned to face you.

“Can you stay late tonight? We have our first deadline for the project and the other two girls can’t stay.”

You felt your heart—the very one in your chest that had just started to beat faster—slow it’s rate. He had asked the other girls first, and you felt disappointment at being a last minute ask. You were confused at first as to why the other girls couldn’t stay, until you remembered that there were only two of you today anyways; the third being Jungkook’s girlfriend, and they were gone on a “baecation” to Jeju Island for the weekend.

“No problem, boss. Um, actually, can I change my mind about lunch then? I can save this for dinner.”

He nodded and you texted him your order as he walked off.

Time seemed to be moving so slowly, but it was already close to 11 PM. The finishing touches on the first assignment were nearly completed, and if anyone were to walk into his office, they would be able to see that it indeed appeared as if work had been happening. Your lunch turned dinner had been eaten around 6, and Yoongi had ordered takeout around 9, of which empty containers now lay abandoned on surfaces, wooden chopsticks haphazardly positioned in them.

Papers were strewn along the mahogany desk, laid on the floor as well, and you were ready to be done with this task. Leaning over Yoongi’s shoulder, your eyes were narrow as you scanned the final document for mistakes. You braced yourself with your right forearm, left hand on the back of his computer chair.

This close to him, you could smell his cologne, a deep musk scent with hints of a sweet vanilla like essence. His hair, ruffled by his hands so many times, looked fucked out with sprouts sticking each way. Your eyes drifted to those hands, handling the mouse and resting on the keyboard, and you licked your lips slowly.

Everything about him was arousing you at this hour, and you wished that he would take notice of the way your blouse had appeared to unbutton more and more as time had crept by tonight. If he would just turn his head slightly to you... the way you were leaning had your breasts dangerously close to making an appearance. Your thoughts of how hot it would be for him to take you on this desk had your arousal leaking, your panties embarrassingly wet as they clung to your skin.

Letting out an intentionally soft sigh, you adjust your hand on the edge of his desk and form your lips to ask a random made up question, anything to get him to look at you, when he does exactly as you had hoped. His face, close to yours, turns to speak, but the words die in his throat as he takes you in.

“Yoongi?” Your voice is soft, and you end his name with a bite to your bottom lip, a movement that doesn’t go unnoticed by him. You take a deep breath, knowing how your chest must look from his angle, hoping that the rise and fall would push them forward just the right amount.

“You..” he clears his throat, eyes on your cleavage shamelessly, “—do you know what you do to me when you tease me like this?”

His eyes snap to yours, pulling a startled gasp from your throat and you stutter a response.

“T-Tease you? I—” Yoongi turned in his chair and his fingers gripped your waist as you stood abruptly.

“Yes.”

That one word was uttered with a growl before he pulled your lips to his. The kiss was sloppy, a mess of lips fervently moving as tongues sought out the taste of each other. You were on fire, his grip pulling you down onto his lap so that you straddled him. His length strained against his pants, the feel of it twitching in time to your moans against your core. You grinded against him as your lips traveled to his neck, and he tilted his head to give you better access.

“Do you know—fuck—just how badly you drive me crazy. These skirts, unbuttoned shirts, that fucking display in IT the other day..” his low voice panting out that you had successfully gotten to him. You pulled back, lips glossy and pupils dilated, taking in the red across his cheeks.

“That was an accident, I wasn’t trying to tease you then.”

“Just all the other times.” His eyes glinted.

“I..”

“If you wanted me to fuck you, you should’ve just asked.”

He leaned in again, arms wrapped around you as he connected your lips again. You knew you had to be messing up his pants, but neither of you seemed to care. He groaned, lifting you to stand.

“I need to be inside of you..” He flipped you, so you faced the desk and folded you at the waist. Chest to the desk, he lifted your skirt up. “I’m over you teasing me, babe. Your turn.”

Yoongi eyed your clothed core, taking note of the wetness that clung to it, running his index finger along your slit until he found your swollen nub. Pressing on it, he traced circles, causing you to squirm. He loved seeing you like this, finally, after all the wet dreams of you, he had you like this: a sopping mess on his desk, whining for more.

He kneels, fingers gripping the edge of your panties and in a swift motion he exposes you.

“Fuck, babe, I can’t wait to fill this cunt...”

You flinch as his warm tongue glides from clit to opening, tasting you, leaving you with an unsuspecting smack to your asscheek. You wiggle, more turned on then you imagined you could be and when he groans in appreciation, you clench, needy.

“Please Yoongi, p-please fuck me.”

You hear him stand and undo his pants, whine when he dips two fingers into you and begins to fuck you with them.

“Not what I want,” you complain like the brat you are, and he chuckles darkly.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be glad I prepped you.” He scissors his fingers, stretching you as your natural lubricant slickens his fingers. The sound of finger fucking would usually make you blush, but you’re too aroused by the naughtiness of it. Your boss, knuckle deep into your throbbing cunt, his handprint on your ass.

He spits, and you hear his left hand slide up and down his hardened shaft, the sound intertwined with the squelching between your legs.

“Fuck me, p-please,” you’re begging now, hands gripping the edge of the desk, and you push back into him when you feel the head of his cock line up with your opening.

“Patience, baby.” Yoongi dips just the tip in, shallow fucking you until you’re practically crying from the taunting stimulation.

“Yoongi, I swear to G—oh!”

Yoongi thrusts into you, and your walls suck him in, sliding him in until he bottoms out, his pelvis snug to your ass, and he groans loudly. His hands knead at your ass, pulling your cheeks apart so he can inch deeper, watching the way you wrap around him so nicely, like you were made to take his cock. He pulls out slowly before slamming his hips back into you, enjoying the way you mewl from his cock kissing your cervix.

It’s like Yoongi transforms into a feral animal, one stroke inside of you and he’s laying on your back, arms wrapping around you to clutch at your breasts as he pistons his hips, fucking into you with all of the strength his ex-basketball playing thighs carry. You feel him bite your back, your shirt softening the blow, but you clench regardless.

“D-Do that again, sweetheart, fuck that felt so good..”

You clench repeatedly, tightening your grip on him, and he feels so good inside of you, your toes are curling, loud exhalations with every thrust; you’re so close.

“Where, uh, where can I—I’m gonna—”

“Inside me, Yoongi, fuck, fill me up, please Daddy, I want to be full of you..”

He can feel your legs trembling, but Yoongi wants you to break first.

“Cum on my cock, baby.” Yoongi’s hand drops from your chest and it takes only a few figure eights of his finger on your cllit and you’re bursting, white behind your eyelids as you squeeze them shut. Your body tremors, euphoric sensations traveling to every inch of your body as your muscles spaz, and he’s filling you, his thick seed spurting out and overflowing from your swollen core, running down both of your thighs.

You and Yoongi ended up back at his place that night, fucking until Saturday afternoon. Sunday night, you checked your phone and saw a text from Yoongi.

[Yoongi-ssi]

Y/N, please don’t think I didn’t enjoy myself… but it can’t happen again. I’m sorry.

You sat there, staring at your phone rereading the message over and over. He was… rejecting you? You hadn’t even voiced to him your feelings. It wasn’t just sexual attraction to him, but after these years with him, you couldn’t help but to have fallen for him. And now that you’d had him, you were head over heels in love with him, all of him. But clearly he didn’t feel the same.

Monday at work, you were quiet, so unlike your usual self. Listening to Jungkook’s girlfriend talk about their trip to Jeju Island, you felt yourself ruminating on the text Yoongi had sent you. Like you had been all night.

“Y/N, is everything okay?”

You turn quickly, eyes meeting the worried look of your coworker, nodding as you schooled your facial expressions into something more neutral.

“Yea, I just have a migraine. I’m gonna go talk to Yoongi, see if I can go home early.”

You made your way to Yoongi’s office. Knocking gently, his quiet voice beckoned you into the room.

“Hey, um… I think I need to go home early.”

Yoongi, who had his eyes trained on the computer monitor, looked up at you abruptly.

“Are you.. Is everything okay?” his voice was tinged with concern.

“I just.. I think I need a few days off… away from here.” Away from you.

“Look, Y/N..” Yoongi stood up, coming over to you. He stood there, quiet, eyes taking you in. “Fuck.”

Yoongi kissed you, and you melted into his hold. His hands grasped your forearms, pulling you closer in to him.

‘This can’t happen again’, happened again. And again, and again.

Secret sex with your boss every so often became an almost everyday occurrence, in his office, in his car, in the morning before work when you woke up in his bed, and now, currently pushed up against the wall of the stall in the men’s bathroom.

Yoongi had your legs around his waist, fucking his cock up into you, one hand over your mouth to stifle the sounds escaping your mouth. He had pulled you in here after the last meeting for the project, a celebratory fuck to commence the end of this very time consuming project. Yoongi walked you towards the stall, wanting to brace you against something so he could chase his high.

As you came, velvety walls pulsing as you rode out your high, the door to the men’s room swung open, and Yoongi disappeared into the stall just in time. He turned and sat on the lid of the toilet, still holding you tightly to him. Shuddering, the orgasm wracked your body as you could hear two guys talking faintly through the hazy post climax glow.

“God, she’s so hot, maybe I’ll ask her out..” a voice declared, the sound of pissing filling the room.

“Y/N would never date you,” the other voice laughed, “she’s way out of your league.” Yoongi’s arms tightened imperceptibly around you as you rested your head on his shoulder. He grips your thighs and continues to thrust into you, close to erupting.

“You know that SooHyun is thinking of asking her out. He’s way more her type than you are.” The sound of zippers quickly sounded before the rush of water as the two men washed their hands.

“Fuck, he totally has a better chance than me. Damn, he’s gonna be clapping her cheeks in no time. Guess I’ll stick to jerking it to pics of her from the Christmas party last year.” The door shut and Yoongi sped up his movements until he came, cock emptying his sticky cum inside of you.

You melt your lips with his, lazily kissing him as you settled from your orgasm.

“You and Soohyun hyung?” Yoongi asked, a twinge of jealousy coming through in his moment of weakness.

“Hmm, I heard some of the girls saying he was thinking of asking me on a date.” You nuzzled into his neck, kissing soft pecks as he softened inside of you.

“I don’t want you to go.” His voice was barely a whisper, a gravely plea.

You sat up, facing him with a serious look on your face.

“I mean, is there something holding me back? A reason to say no?”

“Do you, uh, do you want there to be?”

His deep Americano eyes meet yours, and you nod, not trusting yourself to speak.

“Then let me be the reason. Go out with me.”

You smile softly threading your fingers in the hair at the nape of his neck and causing him to shiver.

“Okay.”

You walk back to your office area, fingers intertwined with Yoongi’s, no longer a secret between the two of you as the office gawks at their very quiet and calm boss with the office babe, Soohyun looking a little put out that you were no longer available.

Sparkshortstravaganza! (Commissioned by WeirdKev27)

Well this was a needed kick in the pants. When I first heard of the Sparkshorts program I was excited. As a kid I loved PIxar, as an adult I love pixar and as an old man dealing with the loss of his partner floating away in my balloon house, i’ll still love pixar. So the idea of a program focused on giving new fresh talent the room to do whatever they wanted and make content that would be on Disney Plus, a platform BADLY bereft of original animation? It was a dream come true and the first one I saw Kitbull is easily a masterpiece and something that I can vividly recall every part of to this day, which for my terrible short term memory recalling EVERYTHING is a rare feat few works have achived. But given I have a REALLY bad habit of letting things I want to watch sit there if I don’t jump on them immediately.. I let it sit there and didn’t touch any of the shorts and mostly forgot about the program until now. Until Kev, my patron and the only person paying for reviews at the moment, though others are more than welcome wink wonk, just decided what the heck and to test out comissioning shorts picked these ones because why not. And given I had been dragging my feet and reading the descriptions found creative and suprisingly heavy premises... I was fully on board And better late than never because along with Soul this program has EASILY restored my faith in the company after Onward really disapointed. Granted they’ve done worse, while there are pixar films I haven’t seen I need to like Coco or Cars 3, I’ve vowed NEVER to watch Cars 2 unless I have to and that vow has served me well so far. The shorts here are as a whole beautifully animated, have a ton of wonderful concepts and even the two weaker ones are still gorgeous to look at and a decent watch regardless and both come from a very well meaning place with a very well meant message. So yeah i’m thankful for this comission and to show you why let’s go through every Sparkshorts so far and see why their so awesome.. after some background of course.

Sparkshorts, for the uniniated, is a program by pixar where animators are given six months and a limited budget to create a film based on personal experince. The program was designed to test out new ways of animating, directing and creating and to find a creative “spark” in it’s employees. Thus each film feels unique, has it’s own style.. and is utterly charming. I’ll be looking at them chronologically as while this wasn’t my watch order, I feel it’s a bit neater that way. I’ve already taken long enough to get to watching these, let’s open these films up and see what makes them tick shall we?

Purl: An Adorable Yarn Ball Vs Toxic Masculinity Purl.. was better the more I thought about it. The first short released, it DOES have a good message and killer animation. The film takes place at B.R.O., a dude broey brockerage firm that’s painfully relasitic both in how broey it is and in how it looks. That’s to contrast our heroine: Purl, an adorable ball of yarn who just wants to be accepted but is instead ignored by the rest of the company till she changes herself up, donning a suit like her co workers she badly wants to fit in with and adopting their wolf of wallstreet esque douchebaggery. She finally gets accepted.. but ends up shedding her new self to help another Yarn Ball starting up. Director Kristen Lester drew from personal experince, starting work at animation in a mostly male dominated workplace and thus having to adapt and only letting the femine side she’d repressed out when she moved to working at pixar, which had more female employees. The film DOES have a good message about toxic workplaces and toxic masulinty and learning the personal story did raise it a few notches as it made it clear to me that what SEEMED like an over exageration.. was probably just a light exageration given the kind of bro antics we’ve heard about at companies like Ubisoft. So while I didn’t like the film much at first honestly.. it’s over the top because it NEEDS to be because even though it’s 2021.. some idiots STILL don’t get it and kids are better off learning it now so it’ll hopefully stick when their entering the workforce. So we’ll get more people like perl willing to make a change and stick up for those like her and less dude bros. Still a decent and clever short with Perl’s bro form looking really neat and the animation on her in general is really fucking gorgeous. All in all not the best of these but still pretty good and while a bit thick on the message.. it kinda has to be.

Smash And Grab: A Jaunty Ride to Freedom

This was a really fun one. Directed by Brian Larson and inspried by his need for a break from routine this follows two robots, the titular smash and grab who are designed to well.. smash and grab coal-like energy things for a train and have for years and years. The two long to high five, but can’t because their hooked to tubes so they can’t escape. But one day Smash looks out the window and not only sees fellow robots living a better life.. but a way to power him and his buddy/love intrest? I mean bromance or romance, either way it works. Point is our heroes escape, and have to fight security. It’s just a really damn fun and creative movie. While robots wanting a better life isn’t new, the crisp art deco animation, breakneck pace, fun gags and heartwearming relationship between the two bots is just charming as hell. It’s just a fun ride the whole way through with a lot of heart and creativity with the two’s way they throw coal to one another used to take out the guards, and all together just some really good set pieces. Easily one of my faviorites here and that’s a high water mark to pass.

Kitbull: Tiny Orphan Kitty + Big Abused Doggo = Best Friends

As I said this is the only one of these I saw before today and as I said it’s stuck with me. I love dogs. I have one of my own named Yoshi whose just a sweet boy. So i’ve always loved ALL DOGS.. and was thus horrified years ago when I learned about the stigma Bulldogs get. Seen as “agressive’ and “Mean’ and victious.. when really a lot of them, including my grandpa’s own pitbull when I was little, are just loveable as any other dogs. And having also known a former fighting dog my friend owned, if a much smaller min pin rather than a pitbull, who by the time I met him had become the sweetest dog you’d ever meet.. yeah.. don’t mistreat a dog just because some assholes force it to fight to the death because their sick, horrible, ghastly human beings.. if they can even be CALLED human beings after doing that to these poor animals. My point is it’s nice to have a short about such a needed subject. Director Rosana Sullivan actually had the idea for the short for years and intended to do it as a side project, but when the program cropped up she moved it to pixar and the result is one of the most popular and easily one of the best of an already bright bunch, brought on by her love of animals and working in a shelter. It’s also one of Pixar’s first 2d animated projects and proves their just as good at that as cgi. It’s the touching story of a kitty whose alone in the world and initally mistrustful and hissy at a big dog she finds and is naturally scared of.. until she grows to bond with the dog, realizing much like a LOT of fucking people need to that pitbulls.. are just dogs and often victims of circumstance and the poor, sweet pooch who just wants his owner to love him.. is instead thrown into a fighting pit, nearly killed and forced to make a daring escape with their new forever friends help. It’s through this wonderful, heartrending friendship that the dog finds freedom and the cat.. finds them both a home, no longer running from people but instead making sure they both get a person. It’s often brutal at times, with the scene of the dog being forced to fight being one of the most striking: while we thankfully don’t see the action, we HEAR IT, as does the poor kitty, and we see the aftermath: a friendly harmless dog thrown out into the cold just because it dosen’t WANT to fight. It’s just really heartrending stuff that makes the happy ending all the better. It’s also gorgeiously animated which I mentioned but i’ll say it again; the animation here is GOREGOUS, unqiue and stunning. Go watch this if you haven’t.

Float: This is Why Krakoa Exists

This.. has easily been the hardest to review of the bunch. While ALL of these stories are very personal, very inclusive and very intresting, this one.. is a bit rougher than most of them and hits REALLY close to home. See this one was built out of director Bobby Rubio’s experinces raising his son who has autisim.

It’s about a dad who discovers his infant son can float... and thus gets stares of fear or judgment from eveyrone around him slowly getting broken down by this. So he makes a HORRIBLE judgment call and rather than just accept some people are assholes, weighs his son’s backpack down with stones despite him hating it then drags him away when he ends up floating off, before screaming at the poor kid WHY CAN’T YOU BE DIFFRENT.. He DOES instantly regret this and the ending is genuinely touching as the father finally accepts his son is different and throws him into the air while on a swing, letting his son soar as he always should’ve. It is a beautifully animated and well meant film and the filipino representation is truly great: Rubio originally was going to have the characters as white but his fellow animators convinced him to go for represntation and be true to himself and honestly in a time when disney itself has had to be fought to get queer representation most of the time, it’s nice that pixar at least is a part of it that throughly encourages representation and will gladly put diversity and representation over any bullshit “risk factors”. That being said.. while this was a decent short with a very well intentioned message and it clearly connected with a lot of people.. it wasn’t for me and I say this as someone who has autisim. As someone who has worn down people’s patince and been starred at by a freak for something I was way too young to properly deal with. I’ve been in this Kid’s shoes.

And that’s the problem: The metaphor dosen’t really work for me. While auitism CAN have some benifits and I wouldn’t be any other way i’d be lying if I said it was easy having trouble commuincating, constnatly misreading people, constnatly worrying if someone’s going to like you, and hyperfocusing on a problem instead of being able to set it and forget it for a bit to my own detriment. There’s other problems and not ALL of my issues come from anxiety disorder: I also have anxiety and depression. They just bleed badly INTO said autisim sometimes, as it’s hard to effectively combat anxiety sometimes when your mind won’t let you.

What i’m saying is... there aren’t any FAULTS in his powers. See i’m a fan of x-men, so I can only see this boy as a mutant, and yes I know they usually manfifest at puberty but there have been exceptions so don’t at me.. and one of them who has no real downsides other than the unfair stigma of being a mutant. He’s more like storm, who can control the elements and whose power only enhances her life nad lesss like say Rogue, who looks normal.. but can’t touch anyone without knocking them out at best or horribly abosrbing them into her head at worst. There’s no downside other than the fact people judge him and his dad is a dick about it. And the dad part is hard because I get what Rubio is going for: parents make mistakes, parents mess up and their only human even if they should embrace their kids anyway. That’s a good message and one I support.. I just think Rubio was way TOO hard on himself and thus made his stand in into an unlikeable asshole, one whose more concerned with how everyone ELSE thinks and does the horribly abusive action of basically tying his son’s wings down so he can’t fly. He mans well, it’s so his son dosen’t float off.. but instead of finding a way to help him and work with him on it.. he just stuffs rocks in his back and forces the kid to be miserable so other people can be happy. It just goes way too far in the other direction to work. As I said I think it’s the guy being too hard on himself, manifesting his worst moments with his kids and his biggest regrets and making himself into a very hard to like character because he has trouble forgviing himself for how he acted. So I want to say if you ever read this bobby while I wasn’t hte biggest fan of your film.. I do wholly support you and your son.. and the fact you made an entire FILM just to show your sturggle and show people there not alone was a beautiful act. You are not a bad person , we all make mistakes and we’re all just human. You are a good man Bobby Rubio. I may of not liked your metaphor... but your message is beautiful.

Wind: Immigration by Way of Rocket Science

Thankfully moving on.. this one is tied with Kitbull for my faviorite. It has a truly intriguing premise, a great metaphor, stunning animation, and is just really moving, gripping and fun to watch. This one was by Edwin Chang, and as is usualy by now, it was built on personal experince.. but not his. It was built on the fact his father was an immigrant who had to leave his mother, Chang’s grandmother, behind to a better life. She rejoined them eventually but it left an impact on his father and thus serves as the core of this story. And honestly knowing that only STRENGTHENS an already impresssive sci fi short. It’s the story of a boy, apparently named Ellis so i’ll use that, and his grandmother who live in a bizzare, hauntingly beautifuly stygian sinkhole that has floating rocks and debris. The two spend their day farming potatoes and grabbing whatever they can to hopefully make their way out. But it becomes clear to young Ellis after they find a plane his grandmother wants HIM to go alone and escape and is willing to sacrifice herself.. and ends up having to trick the boy into thinking sh’es going along in order to get him to do what he needs to surivive and thrive. It’s a truly gut wrenching story as even when she seems to have found a way for them both to leave.. it’s very clear she’s simply training him with all the welding tools and what not so he has skills to make it out there on his own in the unknown. So he can live without her.. but more importantly.. so he CAN LIVE. Away from the darkness, not having to scrape and to surivive and hopefully find something better out there. While the old parental figure sacrifciing thsmelves so the youngun can start hteir journey isn’t new.. it’s the unique, beautiful and haunting setting and the emotoin, conveyed only through the utterly beautiful animation that make this story feel fresh, along with it’s great metaphor. This short is just haunting, beauitful and really damn sad, and I only dont’ have all that much to say because it’s all in the visuals. The only thing I have left is like all of these really, watch it. But especailly this one.

Loop: Enough Said

This is part of the reason I didn’t like Float all that much. Loop is just.. way better at conveying the experinces of having auitism. While Renee is a more severe case than me I can relate to what kicks off the film: Renee, usually paired with an adult at the camp she at, is forcibley paired with a chatty boy named Marcus. While Marcus is eager to go home and has no idea how to interact with the two the two genuinely bond, with Marcus slowly getting into Renee’s world. The key scene for this and the one that clinches the film is Renee waving her hands over the reeeds in the water, throughly enjoying it with marcus not getting it.. till he tries himself. Director Erica Milsom, whose worked with autistic children and picked this medium entriely because i’ts perfect for a non verbal character and is one that can tackle heavy issues like this in a way to help people understan, really wanted to counter most depections of severe autisim, paticuarlly sensory issues. While we see the good in them instead of JUST her freaking out or being overwhelemed: how her sounds and the things she feels truly relax her and how she really DOES enjoy nature and is perfectly at home there. It’s just a beautiful way to show this disablility is not ALL bad, as many works tend to focus soley on the drawbacks. While I had my issues with Float part of it was it had too much good.. but Loop is superior at this simply because it shows both with unflinching honesty: The beauty of something that calms and relaxes your brain or a touch or sensation that just FEEELS really good, things that while again i’m not on the same level as Renee.. I can still fully relate to. But what puts it over float besides not having a messy metaphor is it DOES show the issues that come with it.. but does so WELL and with nuance. It shows how isolating autisim can be, especially for someone like Renee who can’t talk, how people are sometimes freaked out by you and don’t know how to interact with you and how adults can MEAN WELL, and the counsler setting them off was a good idea in the end... but can also be misguided and not fully know how to handle you without overwhelming you. It shows just how bad a panic attack can be, how you can just.. shut down and drive away. It was easily the sequence that hit the hartest and resonated the most as I’ve had those, and i’ve just shut down with no one able to reach me.. and it makes it all the more touching as Marcus eventually realizes how to handle things, and gives her space despite the setting son and the peril of being stranded.. because he realizes she needs it and offers to simply be there when she’s ready. It’s a touching, wonderful gesture, capped by him giving her a reed.. and the two heading home finally udnerstanding one another.This one is very close to wind in my heart and I think I found even more love for it writing this review and realizing just how much it hit me. And that ain’t bad.

Out: Be Proud of Who You Are.. with the help of a gay cosmic space cat

Speaking of hitting close to home and really resonating with me, we have Pixar’s first short with a gay main character, with his sexuality being the center of this. And as a bi person who had struggle accepting his sexuality let alone telling anyone, even when you know someoen will likely accept you.. this naturally hit hard. I took some time to realize I was bi, and when I did I was terrified of telling my mom, despite her being loving, supportive and just wonderful, same with my brother. Both fully accepted me as I figured and had no issue with it, esepcially sine my romantic history is nearly non existant anyways, but I related to our hero Greg’s fears of coming out to his parents despite them being utterly wonderful, well meaning people. It’s hard to come out, it’s hard to admit that about yourself, and it’s hard knowing you may not be accepted or things may change. I had an even harder time coming out to my dad, who I fully expected being a trump supporter and having said “if gay marriage is leagal I should be able to marry my cat”, to not support me and to loose him.. and was proud and suprised when nope, he was utterly supportive and happy for me.. if a bit awkward with the “be careful with sex” advice.. to someone whose had none and may never will due to being awkward as shit. But he meant well and the point is I really related to this, and it’s easily one of the best coming out stories of this kind, tied handily with Schitt’s Creek’s episode about Patrick coming out to his parents that dealt with the same theme. And naturally given the nature of these shorts it was a story close to Stephen Clay Hunter’s heart, as he group up a gay nerd in the 80′s a time when homophobia was even worse and representation was near non-existent. So when given the shot he wanted to make something for a young him, something they can look at and point to and tha’ts me. And the behind the scenes short for this one sold just how... big this felt for him. To draw two men in love and embrcing, to see guys mo capping that. To see someone LIKE him on screen. It shows just how important representation is and how dumb it is it took 20 goddamn years at pixar for them to get gay.

The short itsel is delightful as we open with a gay space cat and dog appearing in a rainbow. The Cat and Dog are watching Greg, a nice young man whose moving out of his small town with his boyfriend Manuel.. only to panic when his parents who he hasn’t come out to show up to help move and try and hide the one photo he has of them. And despite Manuel seeing it as a very easy thing to do to come out.. it’s not for Greg. He knows it’s hard and a scene of him practicing shows the poor guy breaking down at the thought of telling them despite getting every indicatio their nice people. It’s then the whole Space Cat thing comes in as the cat enchanted Greg’s dog’s collar, so when greg puts it on as a jest, it’s a body swap! So naturally we get tons of REALLY well animated shenanigans as Greg has to get his body back. Seriously the animation here is gorgeous with director Hunter choosing the painted on , impercet style to give it a storybook feel which fits the story perfectly.. seriously if Disney hasn’t made a story book of this do so.. and if they won’t someone on etsy do it because Etsy is apparently where the merch companies should be making happens.

The point is it’s fun, furious and leads to some great gags.. and then we get the emotional punch to the godnand as Greg bites his mom’s hand in order to prevent her finding a photo of him and his boyfriend. He instnatly regrets it, and breaking the photo in the process and goes to comfort her.. and we get easily the most emotinal, most beautiful part of it as Greg finds out his mom is hurt as she can clearly tell he’s keeping her at arms length and dosen’t want to loose him.. and she’s known all along he was gay.. just like the Schitts Creek example it’s clear she’s hurt a bit her son is scared to tell her but just wants him to be happy. So with a brilliant use of a squeaky toy greg switches back.. and comes out, with his dad warmly hugging miguel when he introduces himn and the space dog crying. Just a beautiful, charming, fun, and gorgeously animated short with some badly needed representation.

Also... one last note. This isn’t related to the short.. but Disney, who once again proves they can’t be progressive without stabbing themselves in the foot and no I will not stop giving out about this. This time’s especailly bad as while Out was heavily promoted.. the descripton DOSEN’T mention it having Pixar’s first gay lead and goes out of it’s way to hide Greg being gay despite the fact the short dosen’t and his being in the closet is the whole conflict of the short. And the not mnentiong the first gay lead thing is noticable because Loop DID rightly point out it was their first non verbal proganist. You can’t.. brag about being progressive about one thing and then try to hide your being progressive about another you idiots. Plus the “pleasing the bible belt” ship has sailed and left port. Ducktales is gay as hell with Penny being gay, even if Disney won’t let her just come out and say it, the crew still had her say it as much as they could, Violet’s dad’s being gay, Della being bi and Webby and Lena being as close to a couple you can get without disney screaming at them no. Andi Mack is fully avaliable on D+ as well.. well okay not fully because the dad turned out to be a pedophile, but still a series with a fully gay character is out there. And finally Owl House got TONS of press for having a bi progatanist and having her love intrest be a girl. Even if Dana Terrance had to FIGHT for that, and rightly so good on her, the point is you have queer characters already. The groups that hate you for that aren’t going to magically stop hating you because you hide the fact a short anyone can see from minute one is very , beautifully gay, I mean it starts with a very swishy space cat emerging from a rainbow atop a pink dog. COME ON. I only have a few words left for disney..

Okay whew, one more and we’re out of here.

Burrow: It’s Okay to Ask for Help and To Bang a Willing Salamander This was the first one I watched today. In hindsight had I properly researched the shorts and realized how heavy they were I probably would’ve saved this one for later to help balance out the deep feels of some of these. While Burrow is VERY VERY good, as all these shorts have been even Float, it’s subject matter is a lot lighter. I mean so far we’ve had stories about toxic masculinity, animal abuse, issues accepting your child is diffrent, sacrficing yourself so your loved one can have a better life, autisim and coming out of the closet. Even Smash and Grab which is light and breezy.. still has a disney death, and is still about a heroic rush to freedom from slavery whenyou think about it. This one.. is about an insecure bunny whose afraid to ask for help and ends up learning to get it while ending up plumiting through a bunch of comedic set pieces. It’s basically if Winnie the Pooh and Bugs Bunny had a baby comedy wise, it has the warm feeling of pooh art wise, a storybook quality tha’ts utterly adoring.. but director Madeline Sharafan specifccally wanted the animators to take after chuck jones, using lots of great expressions and reactions. It has a real classic theatrical screwball comedy vibe and given The Looney Tunes, Droopy, and Tom and Jerry mean the world to me and i’m glad nto reocnnect with 2/3 thanks to HBO Max.. I fucking loved it.

Burrow is still a personal story and is based on Sharifan’s experinces having trouble colaberating, wanting something to be fully baked before showing it off, something I agian relate to. She often hid from the others and refused to show her work until it was done while everyone else was happy to help. And as the previously used to slam disney hard with something they own Hickman Era of X-men has shown.. colaboration is just better and more freeing. By having friends and colleuge s to bounce off of you refine ideas, see how people react to them and grow a bit and that’s what the shorts about.

The plot is easily the simpliest of these: A young bunny wants to build her dream burrow but gets self concious when she runs into a friendly mole and rat living next door to where she wants to build and keeps digging to find both privacy and her own place.. and instead ends up digging into various shenangians and other burrows from frogs, to hedgehogs to most memorably some Salmanders taking a sauna.. and in the best and most ‘how the fuck did they get away with this bit of it”, one of the salamanders ends up .. gladly removing his town and being liike “You wanna do this? I mean I got an hour free” And i’m just saying while now wasn’t the time and the offer was a little awkward i’d go for it if I was her. I mean at least ask him out for coffee later. He seems nice enough if low on boundries. Then ride him until the morning light girl, ride it. She also finds the Demon Bear from New Mutants at one point.. so that’s where he retried to after danny kicked his ass again. Neat.

But eventually our heroione digs herself too deep and ends up hitting water before finding a

Who sees her crumpled plans and then does the stygian call of the badger to call all the other animals to help and after they escape the flood, the bunny finally realizes their good people and lets them see the plans. So we end on our heroine and her new friends and possible salamander lover helping her settle in as she finallyg ets the home she wanted, complete with disco. I mean every home should have a disco. If I didn’t have a ceeling fan i’d have a disco ball.. and I still want one just to set somewhere or hang away from the fan . Let me dream dammit. Overally a fun, hilarious, mad dash short with a good message and a good note to go out on.

Final Thoughts: Overall.. the Sparkshorts program is fucking spectacular, a great way to let some of Pixar’s staff get into the directors chair and really shine, and a way to tackle issues that they may not be able to get greenlit into a full film. Lushily animated, well produced, Pixar has announced MORE are coming and I cannot wait. Thank you kev for comissioning this, and thank you all for reading. If your new and liked this review, follow this blog as I talk disney all the time: when they come back i’ll be doing regular coverage of Amphibia, Ducktales and the Owl House as new episodes come out every week, and i’m currently doing a retropsective on the three cablleros kev also paid for, with the finale of it, an episode by episode look at the legend of the three cablleros, starting this week. I’m also covering LIfe and times of scrooge mcduck (though infrequently for a bit), and finishing up a look at darkwing duck’s just us justice ducks, started with looks at all the players involved and finshing next week with the episode itself. So if any of that sounds good to you, check out the archives, but goodbye, goodbye, goodbye for now.

Now, on to the story. Given what I’ve already stated, it’s safe to assume that NO ONE LIKES RAYNOR. He even rigged the laws so he was the only shopkeep allowed to trade outside the keep. So no one was gonna say anything about who stole the ring of ‘fuck you in particular’, not even my paladin, Vincent or the Yarl, Lapushka. Solace walks into the Bazaar, knowing what happened and that the prices were doubled, but hoping to get a deal anyways. When a deal for Mica powder doesn’t go his way, Solace presents a gummy bracelet that says 'John Watsek - Forever a Falcon’ and claims that it’s an old relic from the old world(The world Icarus and Vincent spawned from). For a good 30 mins in game, it was a back ad forth bullshitting from Solace, to the point of even dragging in Chad to talk it up, depicting Watsek as an amazing warrior from the old world. Raynor, not buying it at all, says in annoyance “If you get me a book on this guy, then I’ll think about buying it.”

And SO THE HEIST BEGINS BC SOLACE COMES UP WITH AN AMAZING IDEA. IM TALKING FUCKING LEVERAGE LEVEL SHIT.

They go to Tsubasa and convince them to help them make a book about the stories of the Great Watsek, Tsubasa agreeing as long as they get 20% of the prize money and the others create the rough draft. Chad and Solace decide to drag in the rest of the party, Vincent and Icarus being key elements bc they’re both old worlders and make it believable, and the keeps doctor, who fucking hates raynor with a burning passion for fucking her over on her potion selling. After coming up with the rough draft, Tsubasa, Ismene and Vincent work on binding the final draft, doctoring it so it looks ancient and writing Vincent’s name in it so it looks like it came from his library.

Context: Vincent is considered the local tome hoarder. Him and his husband have walls full of incredibly rare and ancient texts, many of which are worth a pretty copper. More Context: Vincent *loves* books.Granted, He’d sell his entire collection for his loved ones in a heartbeat without a second thought. He just really fucking loves books and reading. So much so that if he doesn’t have to, convincing him to part with any of his books is a bitch of a nightmare and a half.

When they present the book to Solace to review, he rolls an Investigation to set the Investigation required to know it’s a fake and HE GETS A NAT 20.

When Solace then takes it to Raynor to sell, Raynor is shocked to say the least and they argue about a price for about 5 minutes before Raynor rolls to see through the bullshit….. and he gets… A. NAT. 1.

A NATURAL FUCKING 1!!!

Solace asks for 70 gold for it, but Raynor manages to haggle it down to 50 gold, the Mica powder and a 3 legged warhorse statue that can turn into an actual 3 legged warhorse.

Solace splits the money between the party, Tsubasa getting 10 gold pieces, Vincent, Ismene and Solace getting 7 and the rest getting 6.

Overall….. THE PARTY CONNED THIS ASSHOLE SHOPKEEP OUT OF 50,000$ WITH A BULLSHIT RELIC/HISTORY BOOK COMBO. NOT INCLUDING THE MAGIC STATUE, MAGIC RING AND MICA POWDER.

OUR DM: MAKES A SLEEZY SHOPKEEP THAT LITERALLY EVERYONE HATES OUR PARTY: WE 'BOUT TO END THIS MANS WHOLE CAREER

“Fuck, I am late.” You think to yourself. You look like a maniac, charging through the train station in a hurry to catch the next transit to the recording studio downtown. You had a meeting scheduled with your producer “Suga.” He wanted to go over the final mixes of an upcoming album you planned on releasing soon. And he does not tolerate working with a late colleague.

He’s worked with many famous artists and has won numerous awards for his work. People gossip all the time, and one time you heard from your manager that a rapper Suga collaborated with once show up an hour late to record. The next day, he got dropped from the label. So yeah, I guess you could say it is a pretty big deal that you make it on time but you’re for certain you are fucked.

Twenty minutes have passed since your scheduled session, and you were still on the monorail en route to your destination. Time felt delayed, almost as if it was fate that kept you on this tight schedule. Of course, you carelessly overslept due to your late partying the previous night for the release party of your single.

Your stop finally came and you exited the monorail, powerwalking your way to the studio. Passing by several cafes, bumping into people, and crossing crosswalks, you finally arrive. You punch in the code to enter the building and hurriedly strut to the elevator. You arrive at the 9th floor, and make a left turn. Stepping in front of the frosted, glass door that reads: Genius Lab.

You take a deep breath and slowly exhale. You give the door 3 knocks, softly but loud enough for him to hear. A few beats later and your eyes follow upwards to meet Suga, as he swings the door open. He seems tired, dressed in a red flannel paired with torn black skinny jeans and black converse. His midnight black hair in a wavy mess, slight bags under his eyes, and his lips slightly tainted with an orange tint as if he was eating something.

“You’re late.” He states the obvious while opening the door wider to allow your entrance.

“I’m so sorry. I can exp-”

He cuts you off nonchalantly not letting you speak any further,

“I finished a few mixes, to give you different options so I’ll let you hear them and then you can let me know which ones you like the most.”

You stand there, nodding in agreement. Trying to hide the annoyance under your expression. “Sounds great!” You smile nervously, but he brushes it off and proceeds to sit at his desk fumbling with some software on his Mac. You find a seat on the leather sofa behind him. You notice an empty instant ramen cup, chopsticks, and a soda can on the coffee table in front of you.

The both of you spent hours, reviewing the different mixes he came up with for each song. It was crucial to get the sound you mostly wanted. After all, it is your first album and you have to release a killer one. Most importantly, you wanted to show the strong passion you have for your craft.

Your thoughts on Suga were undetermined. The moments you did spend with him, recording your previous single, were often awkward or uneasy. This was because he always seemed to be a “stand off-ish” type of guy. Not really holding much of a conversation, sometimes cutting you off, or hardly making eye contact with you. You weren’t sure if it was intentional, but you try not to think of it too much.

Although, after a few shots of soju he gradually opened up, and he didn’t seem so bad after all. You both shared each others dreams and aspirations in life. He even told you his real name is Yoongi. The more he opened up, the more attractive he seemed to you. Not that he was never attractive to you before, because he was and still is. You think he’s sexy actually.

You’ve always had this kink for his hands. Watching him tap the keys on his keyboard or double tap using his mouse or even when he plays with his equipment, because of the way the veins in his hands are so defined and pop whenever he does something to make his hands flex. Seriously just the sight of his hands alone is enough to have you pooling down below.

His eyes are also what get you sometimes.The moments he does make eye contact with you, you savor every second. Sometimes you even play with yourself while looking at his Facebook profile pictures, but of course you don’t tell him that. So yes, maybe you do have a little crush on him. But seriously, who wouldn’t?

Suga even gets off on you in private, mainly at the studio. He’s able to replay any recordings he has of your voice. Raw and unedited. He especially loves when you both spend an entire day together in his studio. Your angelic voice and the way it hits those high notes is what really gets him.

He imagines what it would sound like to have you hitting those same notes while he’s banging you out. This would explain why he acts so oddly around you. But of course, he doesn’t directly tell you this.

The night slowly crept up on the both of you, and things get a little hazier. Suga had set up his Bluetooth speaker earlier, playing a mix of songs from his Spotify playlist at a low volume. You faintly hear an old song playing, and naturally bop your head.

“OMG. Is this Biggie? Big Poppa?!”

“Of course. It’s a hip hop classic.”

“No way!” You’re obviously tipsy at this point, but take another shot of soju then stand up to dance along to the chorus.

“Forever a classic. Come dance with me!” Dragging your words, you reach out to pull him up but he refuses.

“Aw come on, Yoongi!” You continue dancing to the rhythm of the beat, swaying your hips side to side with your arms up. Suga looks up at you with tired, hungry eyes. It's late, and the feels are much stronger at night. He shifts in his seat and spreads his legs open, watching your ass sway in the liquid leggings you have attired.

Without a care in the world, you start belly rolling. Your back is turned and you feel Suga pressing himself behind you, following your rhythm. His lower area pressed hard against your ass gives you a cue to grind on him. He uses his large hands to guide them along your sides, moving along to your pace. You lay your head back against him, his lips a few inches from your ear.

His deep, raspy voice sends chills down your spine. Literal sex to your ears.

“I don’t think you should tease me like this.”

You smile at his remark. His hand travels to your throat, gracefully caressing it.

“Your silence tells me that you do like teasing me, kitten?”

You turn around now facing him straight on and wrap your arms around his neck, looking into his eyes and swaying back and forth. The tension and temperature in the room is rapidly rising.

“Mayyybe.”

He slides his hand up to your face, using his thumb to brush across your bottom lip.

“I don’t think you should.”

“Hm.. why’s that?”

He bends down to your ear to whisper, “I think it’s better if I show you what I mean.” He pulls away, literally an inch away from your face, noses brushing against each other. Your cheeks are flushed, hormones skyrocketed.

“Mmm.. I’d like that a lot,” you slip out, the soju taking over your actions. And that’s all it took for Suga to meet your lips with his. The cushiony feel soaked with the sweet aftertaste of the alcohol he consumed. He applies more pressure, kissing you roughly that you wouldn’t be surprised if he swallowed you whole. Your fingers get lost in his delicate waves.

He follows your neck, leaving behind a trail of licks, bites and kisses. You naturally moan into his touch, and feel his hardened length rubbing against your thigh. You ease your hand to caress him down below. He finds the crease of your core, tracing it with his slender fingers, and snakes his other hand to squeeze your left breast, causing another moan to slip from you.

He leads you, not breaking the kiss, until the back of your knees naturally bend to fall back on the sofa. The anticipation to satisfy each other’s desires overcome the both of you. He removes your shoes, and you throw your blouse on the other side of the room. You arch yourself up to allow him to remove your leggings.

He pushes your legs apart and pulls your silk panties to the side, strings of your wetness connecting from your core to the fabric. You hear him whisper: “You’re so fucking soaked and I barely laid a finger on you.”

You lay flat on the sofa, the cool material soothing your heated skin. You pop your breasts out of your bra and play with your nipples, twisting and turn them between your fingers. Suga wets his thumb with his tongue and places it on your exposed clit, rubbing it in a clockwise motion and gazing at your expression.

You roll your hips at his touch, really attempting to push your pussy on his lips. He looks up at you evilly grinning.

“You want me to eat this pretty little cunt of yours, kitten?”

You eagerly nod your head yes. He gives you another grin and lets go, your pussy now covered by the silk material again. Your eyebrows furrow and you’re confused. You use your elbows to prop yourself up to find that Suga is licking your arousal through your panties. Teasing you.

He senses you will squirm again and grips your sides to hold you down, making you fall back down on the sofa. You can only help but moan now. Loud enough to drown out the sound of music still playing in the room. He reaches up to your mouth, placing his large, cold hand over it.

“Shhh. Can’t be too loud, sexy. There’s still people here recording.”

You felt like he only said that to tease you even more, before you could even realize he removed your panties he slides his tongue up and down your pussy and stops at your clit, giving it a quick flicking motion. Unable to control yourself, you gasp loudly at the feel of his warm, wet tongue making contact with your kitty cat.

“Oh fuck me!”

He groans at your actions in response and places his hand over your mouth again to muzzle your cries.

“Shit! You want us to get caught, huh? Does it turn you on that anyone could walk in here and catch me eating the life out of your pussy?”

You have to admit that there is a thrill in knowing you both could get caught and face major consequences. Your emotions are taking a toll on you. A mixture of grogginess with a sprinkle of a bubbliness. You’re slowly falling “out of it,” but still aware enough to know what exactly is happening. But it all feels like a dream. All those lonesome nights you orgasmed on your fingers, wishing that it was his fingers instead.

Your pondering thoughts are interrupted by Suga spreading your lips apart, sucking your throbbing clit with enough pressure to make your legs wiggle around. He continues sliding his tongue up and down your entire core, all while simultaneously sucking your inner lips.

“Fuck kitten, your pussy tastes amazing.”

Your kitty is as soaked as ever. He drops a trail of saliva on your clit, that streams down your lips. Then uses his fingers to mix your wetness with his fluids, spreading the mixture all over your inner and outer lips.

He stops for a moment to softly blow his breathe on your drenched sex.

Causing your entire body to shiver with chills. He proceeds to finish what he started. You grab a hold of his wrist, and grind your pussy along the pace of his tongue. His opens you up to push his tongue inside of you, basically tongue fucking you. Your eyes roll in the back of your head. The feeling of his tongue exploring your lady parts is nostalgic. You don’t want him to stop.

Sure enough he adds one of his lengthy fingers inside of you, getting you prepped up. He slowly pushes in and out back and forth. You try to speak but your words are still muffled by his hand. He decides to let go and warns you to not make any loud noises.

“Mmm, please just fuck me.” You whisper.

“Sounds like someone is impatient,” he replies while adding a second finger. His fingers pleasurably filling your hole and just as you thought you wouldn’t make anymore sounds. You both make eye contact, as he wraps those tasteful lips around your clit. Just the sight alone of him staring deep into you with those cat-like eyes, while devouring your cunt is enough to make you cum instantly.

You quickly cover your mouth with both hands to quiet your moans and groans. Suga groans against your core making you gush with more wetness. He pulls his fingers out spitting on your already wetness and using his lips and tongue to make those delightful slurping noises. The sounds he makes below you, along with his added fingers again are what set you off.

Even though you’re drunk, you know the need to orgasm has approached. Your back arches off of the leather couch, and Suga feels your kitty clenching around his fingers. He hisses at the feeling and watches as you tremble on the sofa.

“Mmm.. look at you cumming just by my fingers. So fucking hot and horny, aren’t you kitten?”

“Ohhh fuck!” Your legs shake, toes curling and grazing on Suga’s back.

He uses his thumb to gently rub your clit in circles again, making you squeal and jerk forward from the sensitivity.

“Mmm.. oh please! Okay, okay fuck!”

“I may just have to fuck you with my hand over your mouth again.”

He retorts while standing up to lick and suck away all of your juices from his fingers, then he wipes his mouth using the back of his hand. He reaches for his wallet in his back pocket. You continue to lay there still trembling from your orgasm. You hear a wrapper open and notice Suga removed his pants and boxer briefs down to slip a condom on his awakened member that leaks of precum.

His clothes still on, he sits next to you and gestures to sit on his cock. Still twitching, you crawl over to straddle yourself on top of him. You look down to part your pussy lips, while guiding yourself down onto his cock. Your head shoots up with parted lips, just about to moan. Suga notices this and hurriedly masks your mouth with his hand, and you groan within him causing a sensational vibration against his hand that makes his cock twitch.

You lower yourself until your slippery cunt is stretched and filled to the brim, clasping tightly around Suga’s member.

“Goddammit, you feel amazing. I wish I fucked your tight little cunt sooner, kitten.”

He covers your mouth with one hand and uses his other to yank your head back giving your hair a firm grip.

“Which is why I’m going to fuck you until you’re numb, to make up for all the times I hadn’t.”

He slams into you, not leaving you a chance to ride him with your own rhythm. Trying not to fall due to his rapid pace, you hold onto his thighs. Your eyes roll back and close shut, tits partially covered in your bra bouncing up and down.

Your screams muffled into his hand, enjoying the pleasure of him pounding the life out of your pussy. You’re pretty sure the slapping noises, of your skins’, could be heard from outside of the room. But in this moment, you don’t care anymore. Suga is fucking you in his studio, and that’s all that matters.

He comes to a sudden stop and uses this time to unclasp your bra and throw it on the ground. He wraps his lips tight around your right nipple and swirls his tongue on your areola. You run your fingers through his hair in response, while he stares into your eyes with your left breast in his mouth. He plays with both of your breasts, licking and sucking them with his slick tongue, twisting your nipples with his fingers.

“Oh, Yoongi.” You quietly slip, but he faintly hears. He pulls away from your breasts, and offers a sloppy kiss.

“Follow my lead, sexy.”

He lays on his side, and guides you in front of him on your side - in a spooning position. He wraps his hand from under you to mask your mouth again, and you guide his cock into your entrance. He lifts your leg up in the air, giving him a deeper access. His thrusts start off slow, but deep. Like balls deep.

Your warm arousal clenches around him, and you feel a faint tightness between the peak of your core and abdomen. His paces quickens and the slapping noises reapproach, turning you on even more. You reach down to rub your clit, feeling yourself on the verge of an orgasm. Suga pants, feeling himself out of breath but he keeps going. He switches up his rhythm, and this gives him an advantage; not realizing that doing so delays your orgasm.

Knowing he’s on the verge of cumming, he edges himself to last longer, by pulling his entire self out of you and pushing back in all the way holding himself there. Repeating this about 4 times, and coming to a complete stop to catch his breath. You continue rubbing your clit, yearning for a release. He notices this and bends your thigh back further and rams into you unexpectedly cause you to yelp and bite his hand.

He groans inside of you, and pulls out completely again. He sits up and pulls your body towards him, prying your legs open. He pushes your hand out of the way to rub your clit with his fingers.

“Oh fuck.. I’m cum...ming!”

“Fuck yeah, baby.. Cum all over my fucking fingers like the good kitten you are.”

Your pussy throbs of pleasure, and your clit now swollen of overstimulation. The orgasm washes over you fully, making your entire body shudder with ecstasy. “Oh my God, mmm Yoongi!”

He grazes his nails against your thighs “Turn around, need to fuck you from behind and feel you cum around my cock.” Your body is wearing itself down, but you obey his commands and get on all fours, his length rubbing between your ass cheeks. He admires this view of you bent over on your knees, a quivering mess because of him.

You feel his hands spreading your ass cheeks and flinch when his tongue glides one stripe from your hot, stretched pussy to your asshole. He lines himself up at your entrance and smothers his cock in your sticky juices, then lands a drop of his spit on his cock. Your walls clench as he pushes himself entirely into you.

The position giving him a deeper advantage to bottom you out completely. You’re for certain if he goes any further he will hit your cervix.

“Daddy! Ungh, fuck!”

Your cries cause his dick to throb needlessly inside of you. He hisses,

“Mmm.. what was that, kitten? You like when daddy stuffs you full of his cock?”

You look back at him and nod. He pulls himself out of you, making you whine at the emptiness that fills you. You attempt to wiggle yourself back onto him, wanting to be filled again but he unexpectedly slams back into you, making you jolt forward and gasp at how full he feels inside of you.

“Look at you. A whiny fucking mess still needy for daddy’s dick.”

His remark results in you gushing out more wetness and clinging onto his cock for life. You feel your hair being pulled back into a makeshift ponytail and the sharp pain from his hand making contact with your right ass cheek causes you to drench him in your juices. He repeatedly thrusts roughly in and out of you, your ass cheeks creating ripples from how hard he’s fucking you.

The squelching noises from your wet pussy echo in his mind. He slaps your cheek again, and he’s slowly running out of breath. The feeling of your tightness is too much for him to handle as he’s on the verge of his orgasm. He lets go of your hair and grips your hips, thrusting at a more rapid pace.

“I’ve waited for so long to finally fuck you. I want you to cum all over my cock, kitten. Show daddy how much you love having him fuck the shit out of you.”

Your body pushing forward on the sofa, you find anything to give yourself a grip so you won’t fall forward from how hard he’s pounding into your pussy. Suga gives your walls no mercy. Your core sends a signal to your brain that you’re finally tapping out. You feel that throbbing sensation coming back again.

“Oh, shit!”

“Yes, baby.. Can you be a good girl and cum for daddy?” Just when you thought your body couldn’t take anymore, here you are having your third orgasm. You lose all control over your body, shrieking and shivering beneath him. Steadily slipping into a state of reverie, you lose comprehension of who you are and what is happening at this moment. Suga literally fucked your brains out.

He feels his sperm on the way to combust any moment now. He pulls out of you and helps you onto your knees, holding the back of your head close to his cock while he jerks off. You naturally stick your tongue out. Hair clinging to his forehead that’s now dripping with sweat, his chest heaving and his sexy weary voice fills your eardrums. “Ahhh, fuck..” His warm, thick load smothers your tongue. You hold his cum in your mouth while carefully wrapping your lips around his tip, blowing bubbles with his cum and sucking it back up. He hisses and buckles his hips at the sensitivity.

You gulp his load down your throat, leaving a slightly salty taste in your mouth. Your tongue stick out again, but this time to show him proof that your tummy is filled with his cum.

“Mmm.. such a good girl.” He rubs your hair, caressing your head.

“I never thought you’d be such a dirty little slut for me, kitten.”

You simply smile up at him and respond with a hoarse voice, “Surprise!”

Trust Beyond The Universe | Taekook AU

Chapter One

Synopsis:

Jeon Jungkook is Lightyear Academy's youngest prodigy cadet while Kim Taehyung is the commander's high achieving, no nonsense son. Natural born rivals. Each with a dark past. But when the next space war becomes a threat, can they put their differences aside to work together?

Themes: platonic friendship, space, rivalry, drama

The sun’s rays streamed into the windows, illuminating the living room with a warm golden light. Behind the counter on the bar stool was a young boy with sharp eyes that looked alert with thick bold eyebrows that framed them. While his face was slim and small, his expression made him appear much older than he was. His neat short black hair topped off his mature outlook. While he was having a simple breakfast of cereal and milk, he had a portable logging device (PLD) open next to him. He held the small device up to scan his face and it unlocked, taking him to the main page. He began to dictate aloud to the screen,

“Name: Kim Taehyung, LOG 1, Date: YEAR 3025 - DAY 1, Time: 0725″

The dark screen lit up, printing the words in a fine light green font.

“Today is the day. I can’t believe it actually. Part of it is still surreal to me. It was exactly this time, a week ago, that Principal Oh’s hologram had arrived in my living room. Mine! I remember being so shocked, I literally dropped my spoon. Thank God, it was a pre-recorded hologram. Or that would’ve been just embarrassing. He said, “Mr Kim Taehyung, we have reviewed your application with your entrance exam results and are proud to announce your acceptance to Lightyear Academy. We hope to hear your enrolment into the top class, the following year. Please send my humblest greetings to your father.” Of course, he had to greet him. Everyone does. Being the commander’s son, you seriously wonder if you’ve heard enough.

Anyway, orientation is today and I couldn't be more thrilled to be walking around the same campus as Min Yoongi. He was the first pilot from our sector to have graduated top of his class but apparently had chosen to be a trainer instead. I really hope I get to be one of his students. Log End.”

As the last words left his lips, the screen automatically went back to sleep. Taehyung scarfed down his breakfast and was more than ready to leave when his father walked into the room. He immediately stood at attention and saluted his superior.

“Good morning, Commander.” He greeted in a respectful tone.

His father smiled kindly at him, before patting his shoulder. He was dressed in a finely crisp, white suit adorned with badges of honour. His aura was regal even while doing mundane tasks, like brewing his morning cup of tea.

“Are you ready for the orientation today? You are aware that I will be attending, yes?” His voice was calm and collected.

“Of course, sir. I am more than prepared.”

“Very good.” His father commented, not once looking back at his son.

The hallways of Lightyear Academy were well known for being compared to a labyrinth. They were narrow and long, winding for miles under the space base. Big, round eyes scanned the corridors looking for signs. There were none. Just obscure symbols that made little sense to him.

“This isn’t helpful.” He muttered to himself while making a left turn. “I didn’t come early for nothing. Just help me find the orientation hall please.”

In the distance was a chorus of chatter. Following the path of the sound, the boy eventually reached wide open doors to a deep hall that had already been filled with students, excitedly chatting about.

“So much for being the first one here.”

Although the hall had enough space to accommodate a multitude of people, it was already packed, leaving very few empty spaces left. The boy had noticed that oddly enough, the very front row had been left empty. Without skipping a beat, he dashed to the front and stole the first seat. Just before he could get settled in, he felt a sharp (unfriendly) tap on his shoulder. Behind him was a slightly smaller boy with very soft features that did not match his stern expression. It almost looked like it might be a miracle that they were the same age.

“Yes?” He inquired.

“Excuse me, who do you think you are and what do you think you’re doing?!” The boy had interrogated.

The former raised a brow and glanced down at the latter’s shirt. ‘PARK JIMIN’, it read on his embroidered name tag.

“Uh, I’m sitting up close so I can get the best view of the orientation ceremony?” He replied sarcastically.

Jimin gave a look of utter disbelief.

“THAT is where the commander and his son sit! Don’t you know anything... Jeon Jungkook?” He nagged.

Jungkook rolled his eyes into what felt like the next dimension and huffed.

“Fine. I’ll move. You happy now?” Panic set in when Jimin’s eyes widened in fear and a long shadow loomed over his.

A tall man with broad shoulders looked down on him. His face was gentle but Jungkook didn’t want to take any chances.

“Commander Kim Seokjin… I... I...” He stuttered.

The commander smiled warmly before speaking.

“It’s quite alright. You seem ambitious. I’ll allow you to sit next to my son if you’re eager to pay attention.”

“Thank you so much, sir.” Jungkook bowed and made his way to stand beside his new classmate, not before catching a glimpse of Jimin’s priceless shock. He smiled smugly to himself.

“Phew, that was close. I was almost sure your dad was gonna skin me alive.” He bantered. The boy did not smile. He only had a cold gaze.

“Excuse me?” His voice was sharp and harsh.

Jungkook was taken aback. What did he do wrong? No time to think. The ceremony had begun.

“While on the topic of welcoming our new students of class 3025, I would like to specially introduce Commander Kim Seokjin’s son, Mr Kim Taehyung for...”

Taehyung stood proudly and rose to the stage. Standing beside his father at the academy was such a honour and memory he would cherish forever.

“And Mr Jeon Jungkook for excelling exceptionally with the highest score in one of the top trainee ship courses in the last decade, being the youngest student we have to date.”

Taehyung’s eyes widened and murmur spread throughout the hall. There was another excellent student? More shock set in when the boy who sat next to him rose to the stage. Him? Of all people?

Jungkook had a nonchalant look on his face. He ignored the murmuring and took his place beside Taehyung. Turning to face him, he said a few words that began a new found rivalry between the two. Taehyung’s ears erupted into red hot colour and his gaze sharpened all the more.

“What? Surprised, you’re not the only one?”

“Name: Jeon Jungkook, LOG 1, Date: YEAR 3025 - DAY ONE, Time: 0905,

I have found a new rival.”

i watched “escape room” because it was going to be a bad movie and i was kinda right but it wasnt bad enough to go gawk at: a review

this one, to be clear

its january, so movie selection choices are pretty fucking dire right now but adam and i were committed to seeing this hot piece of garbage during our limited time together. what better way to bond than over a movie that’s pretty agonizing to sit through and not REALLY in a fun way. like, you could put this on to torture your friends and get mad at it but def don’t pay human currency for it.

escape room centers around the plight of six people seemingly randomly selected to participate in a one of a kind “escape room”. if you aren’t familiar with this concept its like flash games but real life: you try to get our of a locked room using clues. like a point and click adventure but you actually have to move around and do things and you have to pay a shit ton of money to do it. the protagonist, zoe, is a physics student who is going to the escape room to conquer her fears. but it turns out the rooms.....ARE DEADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! really stupid premise already done to death by better/worse properties (the dreamcast game illbleed is the crown champion of this genre and out-stupids escape room in every single possible way).

THE PROBLEM 1: beside the fact that the premise, conceit and execution being terrible stupid, the movie is paced agonizingly. every room adventure lasts at least 10 minutes too long and turns what could have been a fast paced forgettable thriller into a 100 min slog that heh.....get this.....makes YOU want to....escape the room.

you are way more clever than these characters, even and ESPECIALLY the alleged genius physics girl, so watching them fumble with the incredibly simple clues is frustrating at best and will have you slumped in your chair begging for them to GET IT ALREADY. theres one room where the clue is “you’ll go down in history” and the answer was a 7 letter word. im pretty sure you got this one figured out folks.

THE PROBLEM 2: the “game” is unfair and doesnt make any sense. if you actually give a fuck about this movie and care about spoilers then i guess don’t read this but the conceit of the movie completely falls apart when its revealed that the escape room is just a things rich people use to watch people die in needlessly complex ways. the idea is that they like the concept of ordinary (altho in this case they specifically chose sole survivors of disasters as some kind of weird, nonsense control group to prove that luck isnt a factor in human survival or something) people struggling for their lives and this is a natural extension of that impulse. but most of the deaths were random and arbitrary and most of the rooms wouldnt work unless they were populated by the right number of people. but. they all easily could have died in the first room. some people just dies for no reason; one guy falls through the ice for no apparent reason. he didnt lose a puzzle, he just gets iced. no one else does. just him. because the plot was done with him.

ONE-LINERS: the funniest part of the movie was when one character said “sorry, i’m too busy having sex with ADULT WOMEN to play videogames” and a girl behind us in the audience audibly gasped from shock

SEQUEL HOOK: they set up a sequel where they’re going to hijack the protagonist’s plane and turn it into an escape room just to fuck with her. this command is given by a shadowy computer man with a modulated voice. who is the ultimate villain besides a character that looks like british george lucas.

ANAGRAMS: “wootan yu” a name that shows up 15 mins into the movie is an anagram for “no way out” and this is the ultimate puzzle, i guess. thats it. thats the final blow to the protagonist. Don’t Forget You’re Here Forever.

1/5 stars boring bad, i didn’t walk out of it, but i didnt like it and i dont want to see it again and disliked it enough to warn ppl about it.

Spiritual Spotlight: Trelmarixian, the Lysogenic Prince

Neutral Evil Horseman of Famine

Domains: Earth, Evil, Madness, Weather Subdomains: Daemon, Decay, Insanity, Seasons

The Complete Book of the Damned, pg. 98~99

Obedience: Abstain from eating or drinking until you begin feeling pangs of hunger. Spend just under an hour meditating on this state, then spend the remaining time gorging yourself on any substance within reach, even if it’s not entirely suitable as food, such as soil, ash, or garbage. Benefit: Gain a +4 profane bonus on saving throws against effects that cause exhaustion, fatigue, nausea, or sickness.

That’s a REAL beefy benefit that gives you a generous bonus to avoiding some of the more crippling status effects in the game (nausea and exhaustion), which also comes in handy for making saves against whatever horrible substances you shovel into your craw after you decide you’ve suffered enough and rapidly begin consuming everything you can get your grimy little mitts on. Tex Mex Ian is the first of the Horsemen we’ll see in End Of The World Month: Ride of the Four, and his Obedience really sets the stage for how agonizing all of the Obediences for the Four Horsemen are going to be.

This Obedience is one of the harder ones to perform when compared to many others we’ve reviewed so far or will review in the future, as it requires a lot of setup. First off, depending on your metabolism you’ve got to go without eating or drinking for anywhere from 10 hours to a full day in order to begin actually feeling the level of hunger Trill Maracas wants you to suffer, so that gluttonous feast you gorge on at the end of the Obedience? That’s probably going to be the only meal you’ll eat until you next begin your Obedience, aside from the occasional berry or single mouthful of water.

If you don’t want to actually begin suffering the penalties of starvation, you’ll probably also have to set yourself out a feast before you begin your Obedience, too. If not a feast, then something to keep you from actually starving for the coming day while you pack the rest of your stomach full to bursting with handfuls of grass clippings and dirt. Trail Mix’s Obedience requires you to keep yourself on the edge of starvation at all times, and the benefit makes you better at handling it. At the very least, it’s an easy Obedience to keep hidden from snoopy folks; you can cover your worship of the Lysogenic Prince by simply claiming to have some form of vow of restraint or religious belief that bars you from eating with company. Or eating at all, except at breakfast. Of the Four, this is the easiest ritual to hide from prying eyes.

Also, obviously, creatures that don’t actually experience hunger technically can’t perform this Obedience without DM fiat. And for extra irony depending on how your interpret these rules, that may include Tremarixian’s own Souldrinkers once they reach Souldrinker 4 and thus no longer need to eat.

I may as well start putting a new intro paragraph in, eh? Well Boons usually come at levels 12, 16, and 20 if you merely take the Fiendish Obedience feat, but having levels in the Evangelist, Exalted, or Sentinel prestige classes allow you to unlock the respective bonuses much faster. The trio of prestige classes can be entered as early as level 7; taken as early as possible, you unlock the Boons at levels 10, 13, and 16 instead.

Daemon worshipers may elect to class into the Souldrinker prestige class instead of the Evangelist, Exalted, or Sentinel class, and may choose any of the three Boon lists they wish to have.

----------

EVANGELIST

----------

Boon 1: Jackal’s Blessing. Gain Memory Lapse 3/day, False Life 2/day, or Vampiric Touch 1/day.

Memory Lapse is an odd choice for the Horseman of Famine to hand out, but it’s not an unwelcomed one. It’s more useful than some people give it credit for, though it falls pretty hard into the category of “why waste a spell slot on this when I could use this other thing?” spells. Luckily, you don’t have to worry about that! Memory Lapse more or less erases the last six seconds of someone’s memory, which comes in handy if you commit a social faux pas and want to try again with a Bluff or Diplomacy check, but it’s also useful for things like: Repositioning after being revealed and then erasing your new hiding spot from memory, removing the memory of an ally casting a protective buff on themselves so the enemy doesn’t realize it, screwing someone over in a gambling game, or simply playing the card of “Oh no, you’ve been stabbed! Who could have done such a thing?” All without anyone realizing you’re mucking with someone’s head.

Unfortunately, Memory Lapse has a big weakness in that it allows a saving throw against it, and if the victim makes their save, whatever embarrassing event you were trying to erase is still fresh in their mind. On days when you’re not feeling particularly clever, False Life is always a good choice, giving you anywhere from 10 to 20 temporary hit points to pad out your total a little. It may only block one more blow, but that in itself means the character in question has one more round to fight back. And Vampiric Touch? That’s just a great spell because eventually, everyone gets caught in melee. It starts at 5d6 damage by the time you first get it and grants you temporary HP equal to the amount of damage dealt, hurting your foe and giving you--on average--about 5 more temporary hit points than False Life does.

Boon 2: Unending Whispers. You may cast Insanity 1/day as a spell-like ability.

Boring. Handy, but boring. It’s a permanent Confusion on a single target, but it’s beaten by successful Will save, which turns its 1/day nature against itself. Throwing it on an enemy bruiser can potentially earn you several rounds of breathing room, and I suppose you can throw it on some unfortunate passer-by to create a distraction, but like most Boons which offer one-dimensional spell effects, Unending Whispers is rather boring and inflexible.

...Or would be, if I didn’t just remember spell-likes have no components. Perhaps you masquerade as a Good-aligned priest, and speak a “holy word” which “sends demons into spasms,” afflicting one unfortunate fool with your Insanity to turn a whole group against them. Having the power to say just about anything you feel like and have someone go mad from the “revelation” is a unique roleplaying opportunity I failed to think about or explore well, but we still have too many Boons to go over for me to rattle on about it!

Boon 3: Kiss of the Lysogenic Prince. Once per day as a standard action, you may make a touch attack against a target to infect them with a portion of your essence as if it were a curse. They can resist it with a successful Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your Hit Dice + your Charisma modifier), but if they fail, they become infected. From there on out, so long as you and the target are on the same plane, you may use a free action at any point to perceive the world through their senses; you see all they see, feel all they feel, smell all they smell, etc, for as long as you wish until you end this remote viewing as another free action. In addition, once per day, you may automatically hijack their body, controlling it utterly for 1 round plus your Charisma modifier in rounds (min 1). The victim does not remember anything that happens during this possession. You may only have one victim infected at a time; infecting a new victim immediately ends the infection on the previous one.

Now HERE is a power with some seriously sinister applications. It may seem odd that the Horseman of Famine has such an ability, but Tonsillectomy isn’t just the god of famine, he’s the god of all things devouring and destructive, such as parasites or cancer. A domain he sometimes (unwillingly) shares with Apollyon, the Horseman of Pestilence.

This ability is insidious, to the point that using it in combat feels like a waste. Slapping it onto an important or recurring NPC allows you a measure of control over them, monitoring their actions until you see an opening to cause some mischief or grief. Note that once the victim fails their initial save, they don’t get another one to resist your control, and the ability can only be broken by curse-breaking magics (which have to beat the save DC) and lasts forever unless you find a different victim to snag. The fact that the memory of any moments you spend puppeteering their body is erased is also magnificent for getting them into (or out of) trouble... Or gaslighting them, if you’re that evil. And, since you’re working for one of the Horsemen, you are!

Note that this ability causes no injury or any negative conditions on the victim. It’s not obvious you’ve infected them unless someone scans over their soul with some kind of curse-detecting spell, This means they--and everyone around them--will likely have no idea that they’ve been infected, even as you start exercising control over them. Obviously the best use is to control them when they’re alone, so no one else notices the off behavior, but the ever-popular “make your puppet stab someone important/stab someone they care about” and “frame your puppet for doing something horrible” are both options.

Also note that, unlike with the Dominate spells, you can force your victim to perform self-destructive acts as well. Have fun with that.

----------

EXALTED

----------

Boon 1: Jackal’s Grace. Gain Ray Of Enfeeblement 3/day, Feast of Ashes 2/day, or Cup of Dust 1/day.

Both Feast of Ashes and Cup of Dust are wonderful spells for making some poor NPC’s life absolutely miserable. Both of them can last for weeks at higher levels and will keep the poor fool at the edge of unconsciousness the entire time, up until something deals the final point of nonlethal damage needed to knock them out and allow the supernatural starvation or dehydration to finally have a lethal effect on them.

They’re amazing roleplaying tools that are more or less worthless in combat, unless the enemy in question manages to escape the party’s clutches and become a recurring nuisance. Ray of Enfeeblement isn’t fantastic at higher levels... Unless you target enemy casters, notorious for both their low Fortitude saves and their low Strength scores. A lucky shot may shave 11 Str off your target, potentially rendering weaker enemies completely helpless for 1 round/level. Even shooting someone with a high Fort save might still shave 2 or 3 damage off their attacks for a couple rounds, which can save your life.

I’d say go with the two curses if you plan to muck with some poor NPC (or uppity PC), and Ray of Enfeeblement if you don’t know what the day holds.

Boon 2: Unending Hunger. Once per day as a standard action, you may consume any nonliving substance with no ill effects. It must be no larger than your own size category, but only takes 1 round regardless of its size. Bodies consumed by this ability are completely destroyed. Any object you consume can attempt a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Con modifier) to avoid being destroyed.

God. Alright, I’ve gone over this ability with some disbelief in me before, but to reiterate: This ability ignores hardness, damage reduction, and the Artifact status, allowing you to destroy even divine artifacts in a single standard action if they fail their save. You can eat containers, and everything inside of them, in one action; so you can shove your enemy into a Bag of Holding and eat it to destroy them. You can use size-changing effects to let yourself snarf up larger and larger objects, or shrink other objects to have a better chance of eating them.

Also note that it doesn’t say the item has to be unattended. Snatch your enemy’s sword right out of their hands and eat it. Eat their armor right off of their body. If they’re a Construct or an Undead being, you can even eat them. If you’re the type to argue over semantics, you could note that only “an object” receives a saving throw, so a Construct or an Undead creature is instantly killed and destroyed with no save! But that interpretation would likely get you slapped by your DM.

This ability in general might get you slapped by your DM, in fact. It’s very, very obvious to me that this ability wasn’t run through much testing, or else it’d be much longer and clarify things like: Can you actually eat enemies that are nonliving? Can you eat only portions of larger objects? What happens when you eat an Artifact? What happens when the item makes its save--is it still inside you? Jammed in your mouth? Does it take damage? There’s so many questions that aren’t answered! If you actually gain this ability at any point, talk with your DM about the finer points. Don’t just suddenly surprise them by eating the Doom Artifact their campaign was built around.

Boon 3: Withering Invocation. You may cast Implosion 1/day as a spell-like ability.

This ability is much simpler than the last one. It’s also pretty strong! Provided you’re the proper prestige class, Implosion will deal a flat 160 damage to 8 different targets over the course of 8 rounds, and that damage and duration will only rise each level. Implosion is best used to selectively dispose of enemy minions rather than the main boss, though a successful Fortitude save negates the damage completely, and you can only target one particular being once with each casting of the spell. Even so, it’s likely to hew out (or grievously cripple) lower-level enemies, even though it’s rather slow in doing so.

Not the best level 9 spell available, but there’s no cap on how high it can scale up, so if your character manages to head into 20+ levels it just becomes more and more devastating to fail a throw to. There’s also the fact that it works on everything--Constructs, Undead, Elementals, etc--so long as it has a physical body, which makes it a good no matter what you may end up facing.

----------

SENTINEL

----------

Boon 1: Famine’s Crusader. Gain Mount 3/day, Wartrain Mount 2/day, or Phantom Steed 1/day

Mount and Phantom Steed are, essentially, the same spell, except Phantom Steed is bigger, fancier, and way more mobile. However, Phantom Steed can only carry one to three people at a time, while Mount can be used in succession to conjure a trio of horses for the entire party. It really depends on if your party needs to get somewhere quickly, or if you, personally, need to get somewhere.

Both are handy out of combat spells, and whichever one you pick is generally going to be based on how many people are traveling and how far they’re going, though Mount is usually the better choice unless you’re traveling through tough terrain. In a pinch, Mount can also be used in combat; ponies aren’t exactly known for being incredible combatants, but it’s an extra body on the field and an extra distraction for monsters too dim-witted to know how to focus targets. I’m not really even going to talk about Wartrain Mount; it’s a VERY niche spell, and not even a particularly good niche spell.

Boon 2: Consumptive Aura. You no longer require food to survive, though you still feel the pain of hunger to allow you to fulfill your Obedience. In addition, As a swift action, you may project a 20ft aura of starvation. It can be maintained or ended as a free action from there on out; you may maintain this effect for a number of rounds per day equal to your hit dice. Each round a creature begins their turn within this aura, it must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Cha modifier) or take 1d6 points of nonlethal damage and be fatigued from extreme hunger. They do not become exhausted if they’re already fatigued. Creatures that do not need to eat are immune to this ability.

I do like that they added the clause that you still feel hunger pains despite not having to eat. That’s a good way to make an unfortunate, trapped servant go insane. Then again, that’s what Trial Marxist probably wants! It’s also basically there for flavor reasons and has little mechanical benefit; the Boon falls off if you don’t perform your Obedience, and to perform your Obedience you have to eat. Then again, this does basically mean that you can fill up on leaf piles or handfuls of sand while the rest of the party eats your rations.

Anyway, this ability is pretty good. 1d6 nonlethal damage each round isn’t going to win you a fight by any stretch, but being able to fatigue everyone around you will. There is the unfortunate downside in that you don’t get to pick and choose who gets affected by this ability, so granting any allies you may have some immunity to fatigue is probably one of your first priorities. Unless you don’t have allies, in which case, starve away!

I can see a few uses for this ability outside of combat. For example, marching into a crowded town square and then activating it, knocking out the weaker citizens and making the burlier ones absolutely famished. If you have a means to cause madness or confusion in people, even better! You can drive a dozen people to attack one another in a horrible, gruesome fashion!

Hey, you are representing one of the omnicidal Four Horsemen. Start finding horrifying uses for your powers!

Boon 3: Eruptive Arrival. Once per day, you may teleport through any creature you can see (as Greater Teleport; so long as you can see the target, the distance or obstacles between you do not matter). You burst forth from the victim’s body in a shower of blood and gore and appear in a space adjacent to them, dealing 20d6 damage to the victim and 5d6 damage to all other creatures within 10ft of your arrival, nauseating everyone damaged for 1d4 rounds. Any creature damaged by this ability can make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Con modifier) to halve the damage and negate the nausea.

Speaking of horrifying uses, Jesus Christ.

Note that this ability actually allows you to explode out of anyone you may even be scrying on, crossing planetary distances to burst forth from your unfortunate victim, likely killing them and most of the lower-level folk around them. It’s an amazing initiator, crossing huge rooms or distances to get up close and personal to your enemy (really up close and personal) while simultaneously dealing a huge chunk of damage. You even get to make a move action after since Greater Teleport is only a standard action! AND you get to make a swift action, too, like raising your Consumptive Aura!

20d6 is an enormous amount of damage, even if it gets halved by a successful save, and your poor target has no actual way to dodge it or stop you from using them as a screaming doorway aside from keeping out of your line of sight. I think the fact that it works through binoculars, spyglasses, and scrying is the real kicker. Who needs to sneak into an enemy castle? Just peep at one of the patrolling guards from a mile or so away and make them explode.

You may be stuck in hot water while the rest of your team catches up, but I think appearing before your foes by bursting out of one of their allies should give you a few circumstance bonuses to any Intimidate check you make on arrival.

The belief That Male Enhancement Reviews are Required

Foreplay. Foreplay is as important as sex is. This is especially true because you mature into a relationship. Early in your relationship, you probably will not really want for foreplay, but once you move further, the role of foreplay increases tremendously. It will help both people to prepare yourself for sex. Foreplay will also help boost the pleasure itself. What will we do to scale back estrogen and instead give ourselves a suitable testosterone boost to get a hard, toned body, a masculine air along with a potent, strong libido? Make her come before you penetrate the actual woman's. Very few women orgasm easily through penetration. It should be as pleasing for her if you can bring her to a climax before entering the lady's. Uplifting movies are great boosting positivity. Give Mega 10 Boost Male Enhancement by watching these 10 inspiring feel-good movies. These movies should be able enhance your mood way ahead of end credits roll. Watching an inspiring movie can have a involving positive health effects helping you in stimulating your feelings and engaging the better sex tips care about. However, movies can also offer viewers a 'feel-good factor' to really lift their mood. Listed here are some from the movies that have inspired and delighted many individuals over many years. From comedies by means of musicals, if you find yourself laughing and singing the blues away in almost no time. Certain chemicals in environmental surroundings and inside your surroundings bring about your body to produce higher levels of estrogen than normal. These are in order to as estrogenic products and are become found for most places. The most effective way I have come across is, without a doubt, natural male enhancement. It far out-performs all the others and just takes 20 mins of period each calendar day. If you can click with this, going to can help you to gain up to 4 or 5 inches within a question of quite a few. That means that even when you only have 3 inches at the moment, can have ideal 8 inch beast right at just about all. So, how can this be applied? Another sex tip for guys is to tease the girls. Women love a challenge in the sack just plenty of as men do. Giving her just a little taste with the is arrive but not the whole thing, completely have her begging for much more. When you do this, you automatically build the anticipation in her body a person get her going nutty. The reason you want to stay caused from those devices is because they have several problems. Initial problem with those products are your results. The results these items get will most definately be impermanent. Devices never naturally stretch your penile flesh. Since it is not done naturally, your tissue will always want to return to its original level. For that reason you is actually forced incorporated with this that enhancement device forever if hunt for to keep up with the results. The other problem may be the they are dangerous. The reality that that tend to be not naturally stretching your penile tissue is harmful. When using those devices, you be in danger of permanently damaging your tissue.

Thoughts on What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim

I’m getting around to it like 3 months later, so I don’t remember vividly all the details but I’d like to know I did it. Mind you all of this is written without knowing anything of the webtoon, just the drama. But then again I’m reviewing the drama not the webtoon so keep that in mind.

- Park. Seo. Joon. I realized a drama or two back that I have a thing for him, and this just reaffirmed it for me. And he’s in suits? Hell yeah. Plays a super cute bf? Goals.

- Ok I was disappointed in how the intro has the cast proudly displayed yet for actual screentime and useage they are background. They brought the humor when they weren’t being awkward(which unfortunately was 80% of the time). They used them to create tension of how they had to remain secretive. The cast could have had better lines and more screentime. They deserved better.

- The mystery between how they got kidnaped took forever to be fully out and explained. Yet after a quick “oh well it happened” it was shoved away to barely be brought up. Was glad they showed Lee Sung Yeon trying to get help. Lee Young Joon had daily struggles due to his trauma. Although they did bring it up some after the truth was exposed, I felt it more like an add on for effect and not natural or real. It could have been written in better. For something that affected him and defined his actions it was hastily removed for cute scenes.

- Secretary Kim Mi Soo, had to work hard to stay in such a demanding job. She adapted and worked hard. Other than her cute outfits and nice personality I didn’t think too much of her outside of that, since we where barely given anything. Yet 2 character defining moments for me where: 1) when she endured the rumors and slander for dating the ceo. Now it’s not something that should happen, but it does so let’s be honest about it. She could have lashed out or given in to it. Instead she chose to let her actions speak for her. That was something no one but her could do. 2) from the beginning her quitting was her endgame. But her choice for staying was such a strong decision to take. With her dedication she could have worked anyother job or she could have been a housewife. Yet her choice was the work she loved, despite how others may belittle it. Being a secretary, and especially to the ceo, is hard work already but others can also look down on you. Yet it’s what she enjoyed doing and was great at.

- Lee Min Ki and Jung So Min cameo made my week. I loved it, seeing them together after Because This is My First Life. Although, I get it not the same characters but still it was endearing to see them.

•~•~•~•~•~•~

So this drama I would rate a B+. It was more of a light watch you can quickly binge. For such a hyped drama I wanted more. It’s more of a watch this cute couple be together than anything.

Test Drives: Tatcha, IT Cosmetics & Sephora Collection

It’s been a bit since I’ve written a Test Drives article! So, let’s kick off March with a few great finds that I made in the last few weeks. I’m always on the hunt for great dupes, must have moisturizers and effective foundations, and that’s exactly what I’m covering in today’s post. I’ll be reviewing Tatcha’s Luminous Dewy Skin Mist, IT Cosmetics’ newest release Confidence in a Foundation, and Sephora Collection’s Golden Hour highlight. As usual, I’ll outline whether an item was purchased or gifted. So let’s get to it!

Tatcha Dewy Skin Mist (purchased)

I picked up this travel friendly version at Sephora while I was in San Francisco because I felt like my skin was getting dry while I was out one day. The premise is that this can help to instantly infuse the skin with moisture thanks to the mist’s natural botanical ingredients. To use, simply shake the bottle, hold it two to three inches from your face and mist. This can be used under makeup or as a refresh throughout the day.

What I liked

This is a truly hydrating spray which evaporates fairly quickly. That’s not to say that you don’t get the moisturizing benefits. It’s more like saying it doesn’t take forever for the mist to absorb into the skin. While this mist has a more natural/essential oil style scent, it’s not offensive. Of course, the small size makes this ideal for traveling.

What could be better

This isn’t so much a complaint as an honest observation. Most people who review this product rave about how it instantly improves the condition of their skin. While I like this product and definitely use it fairly regularly, I can’t say that I get better results using this either as a refresh or pre-makeup step as opposed to some of my other facial mists or even oils that I typically use.

Sephora Collection Golden Hour Highlight in Twilight (purchased)

This is yet another item I picked up while I was in SF. I can honestly say it was an impulse buy because I saw the purple pan on the gondola and instantly thought it could be a dupe for my personal favorite highlighter, Kevyn Aucoin’s Neo-Limelight in Ibiza.

What I liked

I was right, this is most definitely a dupe for Kevyn Aucoin. In the pic above, you can see that I have two swatches on my wrist. The top swipe is from the upper half of Kevyn Aucoin’s Ibiza pan on the left, and the bottom swipe is from Sephora’s pan on the right. If you say that you can tell a difference on my arm (not in the pan because clearly they look different in the pan), you’re full of it! I’ve always been a fan of Sephora’s powders, and this is no different. This particular highlight is finely milled which means you get minimal fallout. More importantly, you have great color pigmentation with this and don’t need to use a lot of product to get strong color payoff.

And something in particular that I actually prefer with Sephora’s Golden Hour is that the shimmer is uniform rather than an obvious gradient. As much as I love Kevyn Aucoin’s Ibiza, as you see in the pic above, I clearly don’t use the paler half of the pan, mainly because that paler portion can end up making me look frosty. So, technically speaking, half of the pan is wasted on me. In contrast, since Sephora’s version is more uniform, I can use the entire pan—making this a very cost effective product.

What could be better:

Nothing, I really like this product and didn’t find any issues with it.

IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Foundation in Rich Warm (gifted)

If you followed my IG stories or checked out my IG Beauty Events Highlight, you know that last week I attended IT Cosmetics’ Spring product launch. Those of us who came out went home with a goodie bag full of skincare products and more importantly, a 10-bottle sampling of their newest color cosmetics launch, Confidence in a Foundation, as well as an additional bottle that we received at their shade match station during the event. These 10 shades are considered their most popular hues that testers gravitated towards during the R&D stage. This particular foundation comes in 48 hues, with plenty of options for darker skin tones. Confidence in a Foundation is meant to be full coverage with a velvet matte finish.

If you notice that I have 12 rather than 11 bottles (10 + 1 for my shade) in this pic, that’s because when I was at the event, the lighting wasn’t the best and I felt like I was falling between shades. So the MUA who helped me test colors sent me home with two shades.

What I like:

I’m really glad that IT has finally come out with a foundation that’s truly accessible for all skin tones. As much as I’ve appreciated some of their other CC creams, their color options were usually fairly limited with only two or three options for the #teambrownskin or #teamdarkskin crowd. Their previous brown hues would always have a bit too much orange or red in them, meaning that I’d have to limit their wear until the summer when I’m tan and can better match the shades. But this time, I have a shade that matches my “late Fall to Spring” shade.

That aside, I also like that even though this is a full coverage it didn’t feel heavy. Full disclosure, I typically avoid full coverage foundations because I don’t need that level of coverage. Normally I find this coverage level to be too intense, like I’m wearing a mask. That definitely wasn’t the case with Confidence in a Foundation. However to make sure that it didn’t feel or look too heavy, I applied the foundation sparingly and blended with a damp brush.

Today wasn’t my first time trying this product as I’ve probably rocked it a time or two before. I’ve currently been wearing it for just about six hours and it’s still wearing fairly well. More importantly, it plays well with other products too. So, if you’re layering via contour or highlight, it doesn’t slide around or fade away throughout the day.

What could be better:

So, as much as I think this product is great, there is one thing that is somewhat questionable to me. IT Cosmetics claims that Confidence in a Foundation offers a velvet matte finish. No. As compared to their Matte CC+ Cream which is a favorite of mine in warmer weather, this is not matte. Even during the time it took for me to apply my makeup (about 15 - 20 min), this foundation never “dried down” to a soft matte finish like the CC cream did. And I applied my foundation first since I wasn’t doing eye shadow today. At 6 hours out right now, I definitely have shine and would need to touch up with my setting powder to mute that sheen. Mind you, I wasn’t doing anything intense today unless you consider driving to LaGuardia to pick up the hubby and going to dinner afterwards a hefty day of activities.

My Verdict:

Honestly, everything was a winner for me this time. While I did question a few of the claims of Tatcha’s Luminous Dewy Skin Mist and IT Cosmetics’ Confidence in a Foundation, they’re both still great products that I would use.
