Summary: Every movie star needs a costar. 

Word Count: 910 (Not Edited)

It was different, a good different. 

Miguel doesn’t remember the last time someone had no idea who he was. Sure, maybe some people didn’t know him by name, but at least they recognized him from one of his roles. Even then, he was met with a ‘you look familiar…’ before it clicked. But not you. You don’t even have that fake calmness when fans pretend to be chill about meeting celebrities. You genuinely looked like you had no idea who he was. He thinks that's the exact reason he became so attached to you. 

He didn’t have to pretend with you, didn’t need to put up that celebrity persona for you. You enjoyed him, not the man who played make believe roles. You weren’t disappointed when he didn’t act like one of his movie characters. In fact, to this day, you still get the movies and characters mixed up. You liked him and he couldn’t have been more grateful. 

He did feel bad when your relationship got exposed. He was stressed, scared all the gossip and constant invasion of privacy would get to you, that it would end everything between the two of you. But you were strong, resilient. You came to him with your concerns, not the press or the tabloids. It meant a lot that you trusted him instantly, pushing aside the horrible rumors because you knew who the real Miguel was. He has no idea how he got so lucky. Doesn’t know how he was able to find someone so good and pure in the mist of glitz and glam.

And he makes sure you know how grateful he is. He offers to take care of you, having the money to make your dreams come true. God forbid you make a joke about him buying you something crazy, you’ve made that mistake before. You only ask for simple things, nothing too fancy or screaming celebrity status. You’re so modest, getting upset when he buys you something so ridiculously expensive. You are constantly scolding him that there are better things to be spending money on than an overpriced pair of shoes that don’t even look like it's worth half of its retail price. That there are so many other people he could be spending his money on, like good charities or people who are actually in desperate need of it. He makes it his monthly gift to donate a couple thousand dollars to your organization of choice. 

Since he can’t show his love through gifts, he does it through actions most of the time. He makes you a nice dinner even when he’s tired from a day of shooting. He offers to help you do things around the house. Drags you out of bed early in the morning for a coffee date before he has to go on set. Brings you to his latest movie set and shows you around if it's a calm day, his acting getting a hundred times better knowing his cute little girlfriend is in his chair watching him work. His favorite thing to do is to show his love by keeping you pinned to the bed as he ruts into you. 

He loves watching you wither on the bed, clutching onto him for dear life. You look better than any model or actress as you stare up at him, mewling so nicely for him. He coos into your ear, telling you how pretty you look taking his cock. He’s constantly pressing into that gummy spot inside of you, causing your back to arch and to look up at him with glassy eyes. You look like a goddess, a fucking pornstar as your eyes roll into the back of your head. 

“Fuck, hermosa. Feels so good,” he mumbles into your ear, nipping at it as he groans. “Look so fucking good, too.”

You whimper under him, only capable of responding in sounds of pleasure. Reducing you to this state, where nothing but pleasure and lust consumes your body, is better than any award he could get. He can feel your walls fluttering around him, his release quickly approaching. 

“Should make our own movie. Make you my good little actress,” He grunts as he puts the last of his energy into his thrusts. Your walls clench so damn tight around him at the idea, making him hiss out. “Yeah, you like that? Want me to record you being a good little bunny for me? Huh, amor?”

He props his hand in between the two of you, flicking your clit to elicit a response. You can only nod, babbling nonsense as your walls pulse wildly. With a few more pumps, your walls hold Miguel in a vice grip as you come. You let out gasping breaths, desperately reaching for Miguel. He’s quick to hold your hands, burying his face into the crook of your neck as he coos down at you. He bullies his cock into you as much as he can with your walls spasming around him, giving a few more sloppy snaps of his hips before he stills. 

He lets out a desperate moan as he empties into you, panting into your ear. Both of your bodies are flushed and sweaty, but buzzing with love. Miguel holds you close, not having the energy to pull out. He mumbles sweet nothings into your ear, kissing any skin he can reach. 

Hopefully, the next tabloid rumors will be whether or not he’s fucked a baby into you.

Lando Norris x Amelie Dayman

Summary: In the heart of New York City, Amelie prepares for her Met Gala, surrounded by the bustling energy of her glam team and the quiet awe of Lando.

Warnings: none

full masterlist // request over here!

May 6th, 2024 - New York City, NY

Amelie’s suite at The Carlyle buzzed with the kind of energy that only came on the day of the Met Gala. Stylists, makeup artists, and assistants moved through the space with purposeful chaos, murmuring directions and exchanging tools. Racks of potential outfits lined one wall, though none held a candle to the shimmering blue gown draped on a mannequin by the window. It sparkled as sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a cascade of golden flecks across the room.

She sat in the center of the organized storm, perched on a high-backed chair as her makeup artist delicately added the finishing touches. Her hair was swept back in soft waves, framing her face and cascading down her back. Every detail, from her glowing skin to the subtle shimmer on her eyelids, had been carefully chosen to complement the dress.

The hum of activity quieted slightly as her stylist, Jared, stepped back and clapped his hands together in satisfaction.

—Goddess. Literal goddess,— he proclaimed, beaming at Amelie.

Amelie laughed, glancing at her reflection in the gilded mirror before her. —You say that every time.—

—Because it’s always true,— Jared replied, fussing with the train of the gown.

A knock at the door pulled her attention away from her reflection. Amelie’s assistant peeked in. —Lando’s here,— she said, her tone light but knowing.

Amelie’s smile grew instantly, a warmth blooming in her chest. —Let him in.—

The room’s buzz didn’t falter as Lando stepped inside, dressed casually in jeans and a fitted black T-shirt that contrasted starkly with the high-fashion environment around him. His presence, though unassuming, commanded attention. His eyes immediately found Amelie, and he froze.

She was mid-pose in the makeshift photo set they had created in the corner of the suite. Golden light from a nearby lamp bathed her in a warm glow, making the baby blue threads of her dress shimmer as if it were alive. She stood tall, one hand resting lightly on her hip, the other brushing the side of her gown as her team snapped pictures.

Lando’s breath hitched, and for a moment, the rest of the world ceased to exist.

—Fuck me,— he muttered under his breath, though the words were lost in the noise.

Amelie caught sight of him and broke into a soft smile. —Hi, Lan,— she called, her voice teasing but warm.

He didn’t respond right away, still rooted to the spot. Finally, he blinked, running a hand through his curls and stepping further into the room.

—You’re not real,— he said, his voice low and filled with awe.

Amelie tilted her head, her smile turning playful. —What are you on about?—

Lando shook his head, gesturing to her. —That. You. I mean, bloody hell, Ames, you look… unreal.—

Her cheeks warmed at the sincerity in his tone, but she played it off with a laugh. —Stop, you’re going to make me blush, and Jared will kill you for ruining his work.—

—Jared can fight me,— Lando shot back, his grin widening as he sauntered closer.

Jared, who was adjusting the dress’s train, rolled his eyes dramatically. —I don’t care how cute you are, Norris. You touch the face, and I’ll ruin your life.—

Lando chuckled, his eyes never leaving Amelie as he came to stand beside her.

—Seriously,— he said, his voice quieter now that they were close. —You’re the most stunning person I’ve ever seen.—

Amelie felt her pulse quicken, her usual confidence faltering slightly under the weight of his gaze. —You’re just saying that because you’re still riding the high from yesterday.—

Lando leaned in, his hand brushing hers lightly. —Yesterday was incredible, but it’s nothing compared to this.—

She swallowed, her teasing retort caught in her throat. His eyes, warm and full of something she couldn’t quite name, held hers captive.

—Alright, lovebirds,— Jared interrupted, clapping his hands and breaking the moment. —Amelie’s got places to be, and we’ve got pictures to take.—

Lando stepped back reluctantly, though his hand lingered on her waist for a moment longer than necessary.

As the team resumed their work, Lando perched himself on the edge of a nearby chaise lounge, watching her with an expression that could only be described as utterly smitten. He laughed quietly as Björn, Amelie’s notoriously aloof ragdoll, hopped onto the armrest beside him, giving him an unimpressed glare.

—Even the cat thinks you’re out of my league,— Lando murmured, stroking Björn’s fur absently.

Amelie caught the comment and rolled her eyes. —Björn thinks everyone’s out of his league.—

—Fair point,— Lando conceded, his grin softening.

When the shoot wrapped up and Amelie finally had a moment to herself, she walked over to him, her gown trailing softly behind her.

—What are you thinking about over there?— she asked, leaning down slightly so they were eye level.

Lando smiled, his hand reaching up to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. —Just wondering how I got this lucky.—

Her heart fluttered, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

—You’re not so bad yourself, Norris,— she said finally, her voice soft.

He pulled her closer, pressing a light kiss to her temple. —Go knock ’em dead, Ames.—

—Always,— she replied, her confidence returning as she straightened up.

As Amelie left for the Met Gala, Lando stayed behind in the quiet of her suite, the golden glow of the room still lingering like a memory. His heart was full, his mind racing, and one thought echoed above all others.

He was completely, utterly gone for her.

“Ugh, Finally!”

Pairing: Grover Underwood x Black!fem!reader

Synopsis: after years of dancing around each other, they both finally gain the confidence to confess.

Warnings: none, y/n is daughter of Apollo, implied bisexual y/n, this takes place post-HoO

You have been at Camp Half-Blood for seven years now, but never in those seven years have you once gained the confidence to confess your feelings to your long-term crush, Grover Underwood.

It’s been a year since Gaea was defeated and summer was coming to an end. You’d be leaving for college in New Rome with Annabeth and Percy. You’d said your goodbyes to your siblings, a ton of them were crying and begging for you to stay just a while longer.

Will had to scold them for you, making you chuckle. Though, before you leave, Chiron decided to host a party in honor of the first demigods at Camp Half-Blood to be going to college in New Rome.

You were dressed in a long and elegant golden satin, your h/c curls pulled into a tight bun. Will was currently doing your make up, his focused face was just the most adorable thing to you. (Not that you’d ever admit it to him). “And done.” He said, putting everything away in your small make up bag.

“You look so beautiful, Y/N.” Annabeth said, she was getting herself ready in the Apollo Cabin. She wore a long dark red glittery dress and her black hair was done in goddess braids. “Thanks, Annabeth.” You said to your best friend. “Trying to look good for Grover I see.” She teased, making you roll your eyes at the girl.

“Whatever, shut up, I didn’t get all dressed up for him.” You said to her. Though, the thought of him seeing you in something like this made your heart race. “What about you getting all dressed up for Fish-for-Brains?” You teased, you watched her face flush slightly. You laughed at her reaction, shaking your head slightly.

The party was held by the lake, as you and Annabeth arrived there, the scenery left both of you breathless. The nymphs had done an amazing job at decorating and cooking. There were streamers and fairy lights shining soft colors hanging from around the nearby trees, a group of water nymphs were in charge of the music. And you saw Juniper handing out drinks to people.

You saw Percy talking with Connor Stoll. “Look,” you tapped Annabeth on her shoulder. “There’s Percy, let’s go over to him.” You said to the slightly shorter girl, pulling her softly by her arm. Connor noticed the two of you walking over and tapped Percy. As he turned around, the boy’s face went as red as Annabeth’s dress.

You gave Annabeth a smirk, even though they’d been dating for years, Percy still acted like a giddy middle schooler when it came to her. “Annabeth, hey, you uh- you look amazing.” Percy said, trying to find the words that best complimented the girl’s attire. “Thanks Percy, you look nice too.”

You went and stood beside Connor Stoll who gave you an amused smile. “You picked that dress out for her, didn’t you?” He asked you. “I did, Annabeth was never really the type of girl to be into all that glitz and glam. So, when she came to me asking for help, I decided to give it to her. Only, under the condition she’d help me with my senior portfolio.”

You said to the younger boy with a smile, crossing your arms over your chest. He let out a chuckle, “yep, that sounds like something you would do. Anyways, you have a good eye for fashion, you look nice.” He said to you. “Thanks, you do too, I suppose.” You said to him. “You wouldn’t have seen Grover around, have you?” You asked him.

Connor smirked at your question, which made you sigh in annoyance. “Don’t look at me like that, because I know exactly what you’re thinking.” You said to him. “Out of all the people here at camp, I never expected you to fall for someone like Grover. Not judging, but I always imagined you with someone like Clarisse or any Ares kid. Your personalities just match more.”

You pretended to gag. “Ew, what? Clarisse La Rue? There’s no way in hell I’d be caught dating that crazy girl. She’s too obsessed with pleasing her dad and being the best fighter at camp to understand how to love someone. Don’t get me wrong, she’s very attractive and I would date her, just under different circumstances.”

“When you say ‘different circumstances’ do you mean if you weren’t practically in love with Grover?” He asked you with teasing smile, nudging your arm slightly. You rolled your eyes at the shorter boy. “This right here is why you don’t have a girlfriend.” You said to him. “I’ll go find Grover on my own.” You said, walking away. “It’s not like you have a boyfriend or girlfriend either!” Conner Stoll yelled out to you as you widened the distance between you two.

You’d been searching for Grover for an hour now, and no one had seen him around. Sure, parties were never really his thing, but you thought if he wasn’t coming to see you, he’d at least come to see his best friends, Percy and Annabeth. You were starting to give up hope on seeing him at all tonight.

You walked through a secluded part of the forest, softly humming to yourself, now holding your heels in your hands. You’d never been a nature person until Grover, at first you only pretended to be interested in it to have something in common with him. Over time though, you started to genuinely enjoy it yourself, often walking through this part of camp to clear your mind when stressed.

You caught a soft light in the corner of your eyes and decided to walk towards it. Your footsteps quiet as you went to inspect whatever it was. Your eyes widened as you saw Grover sitting on a log, a small lamp beside him. You forgot satyrs tended to have great hearing as Grover turned around to face you. “Y/N?” He said.

“Grover…hey.” You said quietly, walking over and sitting next to him. “Hey.” He said back. He was wearing a dark green suit, his brown skin and dark curly hair glowed softly in the light. ‘So he was at the party, I must’ve just not noticed him then.’ You thought to yourself. “Why are you out here by yourself?” You asked the boy. He smiled at you.

“You know parties have never really been my thing, I mainly came because Percy asked me to.” He said truthfully. “Oh.” You said, a slight pang in your chest. ‘So he didn’t come to see me.’ “I also came to see you too.” He said, looking at you with his usual smile. “Oh.” You said once more, your cheeks slightly burning.

“Sorry, I had too overwhelmed with the setting before I could actually see you, so I came out here to calm down.” He said apologetically. “It’s okay, Grover, I wouldn’t want you to be uncomfortable there waiting on me anyways.” You told him. “Thanks.” He said. There were a couple beats of silence before Grover broke it.

“Sooo..college huh? And in New Rome as well.” Grover said, a bit awkwardly. “Yep, I’m also going to help Reyna find a new augur for Camp Jupiter since Octavian’s gone now.” You said, playing with your hands in your lap. “I guess while I’m gone, you’ll be bringing more kids into camp, right?” You asked, even though you already knew the answer.

He nodded. “Yea, I wish I could come with you, Percy, and Annabeth though.” You smiled and looked down at your hands. “I wish you could too. I mean, we’ve always just been a little group, the four of us. So now it feels weird not having you there with us.” You told him. “Yea, I feel the same way, it’s going to be weird not stopping you and Percy’s arguments anymore.”

“Y/N/Grover I-“ you both spoke at the same time, turning towards each other. “You can go first.” You both said in unison again. You then sighed in annoyance. “How about I go first?” You offered. Grover nodded in agreement. “We leave tomorrow morning and..I didn’t want to leave without telling you how I feel about you, Grover.” You said softly.

“Grover, I love you, I’ve liked you ever since you helped me with my chores in the strawberry fields. You’re also kindhearted and easy to talk to, I feel like I don’t have to have a constant wall up around you, guarding my feelings.” You told him. You felt his hand touch yours.

“I like you too, Y/N, ever since I saw you stand up to Ares alongside Percy.” He said with a smile. “You’re so much more different than me, yet it feels so right to be with you. Your fiery personality and your passion for being a great fighter are what makes you, you, and I love it. I’m glad to have been by your side these past seven years.” He told you. “I’m sorry I wasn’t with you during the party.”

You turned your head towards the lights in the distance, you still hear the faint music from it. You stood up and brushed off your dress, holding your hand out for him. “Well, we don’t need to be at a big celebration party with all the other campers. We can have one right here, just you and me.” You said as he grabbed your hand and you helped him up.

Grover placed his hands on your waist and you wrapped your arms around his neck. You both swayed slowly to the faint music in the background. “Does this make us boyfriend and girlfriend now?” He asked you. You laughed softly as his question and placed a kiss on his cheek. “Yes, Grover, yes it does.”

Your moment was cut short by a certain black haired girl and blonde boy standing by the trees. “Ugh, finally!” Annabeth said as Percy chuckled at her side, a hand on her shoulder. “Go away you guys!” You yelled at them, Grover laughed, feeling slightly embarrassed.

Birthday Blues

A/N: A fic for my lovely @widdlepeetsselfship for their birthday! It's originally with Cannella, her OC.

Pairing: Formaggio x Reader Genre: NSFW Warnings: Reader wears a dress and does makeup has tits and pussy, coercive sex, non-consensual to dubious consent. man handling, degradation, PIV sex, praise kink, daddy kink Summary: Formaggio wants to treat you to the best birthday ever but not without a price!

Fifteen minutes past noon is when you feel a slight shake, sunlight dancing on your closed eyelids like small fireworks. Shuffling away from whatever disturbance had the audacity to disrupt your slumber,you try to go back to sleep. A faint whisper comes from somewhere above…

“…wake up babe… sweetie baby!” He calls your name

The voice grows louder, bringing you out of the perfect dream you were having, of lavish desserts and expensive getaways to some otherworldly place. Disgruntled, you groan, opening your eyes to find your boyfriend hovering over your half-asleep form. 

“Maggio…” you say groggily. “Why’re you awake so early…” 

“Early? Babe It’s past noon, perfect time to wake up!” He gives you a goofy grin, one that would lighten your mood if you were not between waking and sleeping. You stare at him, slightly annoyed and not clearly thinking at all. 

Without a word, you try to turn back to sleep only for your boyfriend to grab you by the shoulders. 

“Hey hey hey, woah woah! Hold on, are you forgetting what today is?” He gives you a rare incredulous look and you realize for once he’s being sincere. 

“Fuck, did I forget out anniversary?” The expression of pure confusion with the combination of your half lidded eyes and bed head makes Formaggio howl with laughter. 

“Amore, it’s your birthday.” The emphasis on the words takes a minute to sink into your mind. You look at him for a couple more seconds. 

“Oh… okay.” 

“Don’t ‘oh, okay’ me! Get ready baby, we’re going out for breakfast. I wouldn’t be called Formaggio if I didn't even take out my sweetie baby on their birthday.” He caresses your cheeks affectionately, as if handling a feisty cat for the first time. It’s not how he would handle a real cat, being absolute dogshit with animals as he is. Yet the affectionate touch is enough to convince you. “Doll up for me real nice, I wanna see you in that dress.. You know the one.” 

Formaggio winks as you pout at back, unclear to him whether because he asked you to get up or because of the demand to dress up to his choices. You sigh, even if you have much of an option there's a certain entertainment in humoring your boyfriend’s whims and knowing you’re most likely about to get free food is enough motivation to wake up past noon. Balancing yourself,you let yourself sit up.

“That’s my baby.” He whispers, bringing a slight blush to your face that you don't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing. 

Watching him leave the room, you flip over the covers and drag yourself to the bathroom, determined to look your best. And Formaggio, being the experienced boyfriend he is, expects the time it takes for you to get ready. A rookie version of himself would have become impatient with waiting for his partner. But as he has learned and in your wise words…‘glam like this takes time.’

But it’s completely worth the wait as you walk out of your bedroom with your hair tied, a couple of hoop earrings, radiantly shiny gloss, a fur shawl, all brought together by a baby pink dress, the sweetheart neckline of which falls rather low. The glitter eyeshadow of your lids twinkle with the natural light in your shared apartment. You’d be damned if you don’t look your absolute best on your motherfucking birthday. Being the type of man he is, Formaggio barely feels inadequate standing next to his goddess of a partner. 

In true Italian fashion, he grins at you with arms wide open as if to try and give you a hug. Grabbing your shoulders, he almost shakes you with mirth. “You look fantastic.” His handsome grin is more than a little overwhelming and You pretend it doesn’t make your heart flip flop in your chest, looking away. 

“You look pretty handsome.” It's an understatement. Despite only adorning a blazer with a mesh shirt underneath, somehow Formaggio makes it look runway ready. Curse him and his beautiful tummy. 

Clutching your purse, you walk to the door with him in tow, going down to the parking lot.

“Wait, bella, hold on.” While you try to walk out of the building, expecting him to take you there by foot, he has other plans. He produces something from his pocket, setting it down on the ground before giving it space. Within seconds, the tiny thing turns into a car. His latest loot from some random citizen no doubt. “We’re not walking today, my love,” he quips. Opening the door, he gestures for you to go inside.  “After you.” 

Impressed, you give him a pleased smile. “We aren’t late are we?” You ask, as he wasn’t waiting for you just because you wanted to get the perfect eyeliner for almost thirty minutes. 

“Nope! There’s no such thing as being late where we’re going.” You quirk an eyebrow.. “Don’t worry, mio amore, you’ll like it.” 

Quickly racking your  brain for options, you  let yourself think wishfully just a little bit. “Are we going to the new restaurant that opened up a few blocks from here?” You ask, perking up at the thought. Only for your expression to fall when Formaggio howls with laughter as he buckles his seatbelt. “Not at all. You’ll like this even better!” 

The car ride is anything but silent, Formaggio rambling about this and that, yet he refuses to share his birthday plans.. But no matter, instead, you start listing the designer items on the latest Vogue Italia that you wish to get as gifts. It’s, by no means, a demand for him to buy them immediately. However, it’s quite a large hint at what he should aim to steal next. 

Surely Formaggio is no fool. And as his partner expects, he produces another miniscule object from his pocket. He can’t get enough of your excited gaze into his hand. 

It’s an antique necklace that looks worth at least $10,000. You're no fool either, knowing not to question your boyfriend's sources and methods when it comes to the spontaneous gifts he gets her. 

“It’s beautiful…” you whisper, eyes twinkling to reflect the light from the necklace’s decoration. Taking it from his hand, you put it on, finally arriving at the destination. 

“Mcdonald’s.” An amused look crosses you. .

“Yup, your favorite.” 

You’re not sure whether to be excited or exasperated. Cheap fast food on your birthday… while dressed to the nines. You  reluctantly get out of the stolen car, not waiting for Formaggio to open the door, pretending to be a perfect gentleman. Contemplating, You secretly wonder if Formaggio met with Prosciutto behind your back for a presentation on conduct and etiquette. Not that he could hold up such a persona for very long. 

And as expected, he throws his hands into his pockets, nonchalantly walking into the establishment without even holding the door to the entrance. 

It doesn��t take long for you two to order some food, chicken nuggets, a shake, some fries. He gets a soda for himself. But as per Formaggio’s predictions, it wouldn’t be the only thing you eat that day. 

“You sure you want that drink, babe?” he asks. 

“Well of course, you should already know my order by now.” You take a sip of her boyfriend’s soda, sideying him rather openly. 

“Then what about the drinks we’re gonna have after?”

“What drinks?” You suddenly perk up, handing his soda back. 

“Y’know the coffee with the syrups and all that, I don’t really get it.” 

“We’re getting frappuccinos afterwards?” You can’t hide your excitement even if you try. And at Formaggio’s sheepish grin, you give him a bright smile, holding your boyfriend’s face in your hands. For a moment in your enthusiasm you forget the rest of the world. 

“Maggio, I could kiss you!”

“Well then why don’t you?” Suddenly flirtatious, he moves closer to you, wrapping an arm around your waist.

“Wait, not in front of these people.” You’re sure people are already giving looks your way from being dressed the way you are, and it almost crumbles your confidence. 

“C’mon, sugar,” He encourages. Formaggio has always welcomed PDA with open arms. Unlike his disgruntled partner who would often even reject his affections if it was too crowded or busy. Yet it never makes him stop persisting. “Just a small one… it’ll be quick.” 

Formaggio already begins to descend upon your lips when he whispers the words and you have no choice but to accept his kiss with no resistance. Holding him by the blazer jacket, you are still against him as he plants a few soft chaste kisses to your lips. Only to hold you by the chin and gently pry your lips open, allowing him to taste the inside of your mouth. 

Formaggio’s tongue takes the form of pure ecstasy, making you shiver from the intimacy. 

An awkward cough makes you two separate in a haste.

“Your fries and nuggets…” the waitress respectfully places the food at the table as Formaggio gleefully receives it. All while you silently fume. There was no need for her to interrupt and humiliate you this way; the waitress would display far better service by simply not saying anything whatsoever. Munching on nuggets and fries with extra gusto, you can’t wait to leave for those frappuccinos.  

“Woah, slow down there, babe. Here, take my soda.” As Formaggio offers his drink, he chats casually, a similar back and forth you experienced in the car, leaves you feeling somewhat calmer. Eventually, forgetting you felt wronged at all. Every memory of your shitty dates to fast food chains flashes within your mind and a helpless smile forms around your lips. 

“What’re you smiling about, sweetheart?” 

But you don't have the capacity to be sappy in the middle of Mcdonald’s. 

“Nothing. Let’s go, I’m done.” Reapplying some lip gloss, you wait for your boyfriend to finish his burger, a last minute purchase he got hungry midway through the date. 

Finally exiting the restaurant, Formaggio drives to your favorite coffee shop, noting the good mood you’re in after having fast food for breakfast. He reminisces about Prosciutto once telling him off for craving a burger early in the morning, saying he’d find no one that matches his tastes so closely. ‘Eat shit, old man’ he thinks. 

Parking in front of the shop, he’s barely able to walk out of the car before you’re already opening the door and marching in. 

Considering Formaggio hardly has anything to eat from such a place, he’s in no hurry and only thinks of his plan once you’re done here… He takes his time, walking into the coffee shop with nonchalant strides, finding you in line to order and picks a seat to wait for you there. Somehow it always takes at least ten minutes for your drink to arrive, boring him to no end, never understanding your enthusiasm for a place like this. Where there is more sugar than coffee. But really, the thing he comes to see is your smile, full of food and sugar as you should be. 

Formaggio insists you drink at the coffee shop, making up some bullshit about the nice atmosphere and how much you seem to like it. And given your perky disposition at the moment, he suspects you won’t anticipate his plans, ignoring the burning in his groin at the thought.  

Patience is a virtue they say, one that Formaggio tethers himself to by a thin string, waiting for you to be satisfied and gesture for him to leave. He calms his nerves, settling himself back into the bastardly grin after rubbing his short hair by the side. It’s time…

Naples is known for its narrow alleys and hideaways, making it easy for Formaggio to locate a little hole in the wall between the building adjacent to the coffee shop. Pulling you with him, he eagerly near-drags you to a space where the sunlight doesn’t reach, completely shrouding you from the eyes of the public… almost. He’s sure any noise at this point of the day would be heard by nearby pedestrians. 

“What’s going on?” Your curious, somewhat alert voice asks him as he corners you into a wall. 

Brushing a hand over your shoulders, he lays a lecherous gaze over you in the dress. In his humble opinion, it fits too well. How is he to resist a squeeze or two? And what better time than your birthday. His stare doesn’t go unnoticed by his partner, heating your cheeks both in alarm and flustering alike. Grabbing your hips, Formaggio pins your back, leaving no room for escape. 

“Just a little fun, you wouldn’t leave me hanging on your birthday right?” He doesn’t wait for the reply, kissing along your neck and collarbone, wetting them within seconds. 

“Maggio!...” You want to yell, to shout. But your words only turn to sounds of pleasure, your mouth uncooperative with your brain. It’s unbecoming of you, yet you can’t bring yourself to stop him; his grip too strong, his touch too heavenly. Breathing heavily, you take his kisses as you did during breakfast. Except Formaggio is far less gentle this time, demanding more with tongue, making you whine, trying to push him off by the shoulders. 

He chuckles into his kiss, as if your fists are nothing but child’s play. 

“Settle down, sweetie…” Looking at you with lustful eyes, he says. You realize his irises almost disappear from the lack of light, making them appear as dark as abyss. A strange mix of shame and arousal swirl within you, trying to fight the feeling. “Oh don’t be like that, darling,” he says darkly, a hand already pressing between your legs to dig into your underwear. “Ya look too good in that dress for me to let this go… c’mon, I got the food and the drinks…” 

As the pieces fall into place within your mind, you understand his enthusiasm to leave for breakfast, his urgency for you to finish your coffee… the bastard only wanted to bed you. Or well.. You realize it’s not much of a bed, standing panting against the wall. 

As Formaggio’s thin string of patience finally snaps, he’s no longer satisfied, only grinding against your hips. Flipping you to your front against the wall, he allows himself to unsheath the burning cock from within his pants. 

“Wait!” His partner’s words fall on deaf ears as he forces you to bend to his whims. The pink dress rides up, revealing your wetness to him easily, how perfect that it should be so short, so easily accessible. 

“Just like a common whore,” he murmurs. She could only clutch the wall the dear life as he teases her entrance slowly, covering himself in your arousal. “Stop it, Maggio…” she you whine, the resistance of your mouth not matching the anticipation of your body. And within seconds, you find yourself full of him to the brim. Panting helplessly, you try to keep yourself quiet. But your boyfriend only makes it more difficult, bending atop your back to kiss your neck and claw at your breasts.. 

“Sweet doll, ya always take me so well,” the grin is apparent in his voice, even if she can’t see the smug satisfaction on his face. Biting your lip, you let her body jerk to his thrusts, not trusting your voice to be of any use. 

It disgruntled your boyfriend a little bit, who is enthused by your noises during intimacy. He moves his hips faster in hopes of getting more out of you. “You’re doing so well, doll…my personal whore. Dressing like that just ‘cause I said so.” He takes a moment to chuckle, encircling his arms over your stomach to knead the soft flesh. 

At long last, his wish is fulfilled as you moan out a helpless “daddy…” in which he relishes. 

Laughing still, he kisses over your back where it’s exposed. “So sweet.” It doesn’t stop him from continuing to thrust, now clearly chasing orgasm without paying mind to your needs. You hold still, realizing he would be cumming inside you. 

“Wait please! Maggio!” 

But your words are interrupted by your own orgasm, taking you by surprise when you squeeze him tight, making him plant his seed inside you within seconds.

“Fuck,” you whisper. Hearing him sigh, and pull out, You straighten yourself, worried about the condition of your dress and hair. You’ll have to reapply that lipstick. As Formaggio zips his pants, you fuss over the rumpled creases. 

“I’ll take ya home, so you can get changed,” he says, clearly not as concerned. 

“I’m not sitting in the car with your cum inside me!” 

“Do you have a choice?” He challenges. “Or did ya want me to eat ya out before we go?” 

You hit him up the shoulder. “It’s not funny, Maggio!” Huffing, you make your way to the car, hoping no one notices the trail of white down your thigh. 

Scoffing, Formaggio follows, wishing you a mockery of a “happy birthday.”

🔥 Hottest and ugliest/most bland MC and LI. Also favorite and least favorite otome game artwork.

Hottest MC

This is difficult cos the majority of MCs in Otome games who are adult women are so infantilised and spineless that it feels ewwy to find them attractive. One thing I hate is women being infantilised, cos it’s an actual trigger for me.

Either Seraphina from Peachleaf Valley or Teuta from Bustafellow since they are and act like actual adults, despite the weird artistic elements anime usually gives them. They’re funny, witty, sweet but know when to put their foot down and have a lot more agency than your usual garbage dating sim protagonist.

I would also say Kotone cos she is both a successful cafe owner and landlord but the way the story treats her and how the men are towards her, she honestly deserves a better game (with LIs who aren’t pedos or old enough to be her dad). She’s a wonderful character but I find her more cute than attractive.

I love Lynette though. Her design is so pretty and I love the more flashy 80s glam businesswoman look to her. She would fit right in with Jem and the Holograms. But again, she deserves a better game and a personality upgrade cos FOR FUCKS SAKE WHY IS THE MATCHMAKING GODDESS OF LOVE A CLUELESS INGENUE. SHE’S CUPID SHE SHOULD BE ABLE TO READ MEN LIKE A 4 PAGE PICTURE BOOK

Blandest MC

This is like counting every grain of sand on a beach, cos of the genre we’re in. THERE’S SO FUCKING MANY.

My top 3 would be:

The MC from Amnesia Memories, who I’m gonna call Maria, is the biggest offender. While Cardia and Ichika have some quirks, Maria has FUCKING NOTHING. Half of her thought processes and inner dialogue are taken up by a flying pixie in her head so we never get any idea of what Maria’s personality is like. And because this game uses her amnesia as an excuse to not give her any personality or agency from that matter

Cardia from Code Realise. What a WASTE

And Ichika from Collar x Malice.

Basically any Otomate protagonist can apply here, cos they’re all cut from the same bland UwU ingenue cloth and I’m SICK of Otome fans seeing every new protagonist and going “omg she’s such a sassy girlboss” when all she does is say no to a pervert’s advances. Like, that’s not sass, that’s basic self-defense.

Hottest LI

Mozu, hands down. Love how genuinely supportive and sweet he is. His design isn’t all that special but his personality really shines through. He’s delightfully morbid, which makes sense considering he’s a coroner. He spouts random scientific facts and statements about everything he sees like Sheldon Cooper and even in other routes, he considers Teuta his friend and always treats her with respect. He’s such a good man and I love how even his trauma regarding his sister’s death doesn’t affect his relationship with Teuta. Teuta does feel like a comforting angel in that game but after seeing the roles being reversed in Bustafellows 2, it’s great to see Mozu be the one comforting Teuta with her problems. Also the fact that Mozu is currently seeing a therapist to deal with his trauma so he can be a better boyfriend to Teuta is so 🥹

The only things I didn’t like about him was a moment where he awkwardly kabedons Teuta when he was depressed thinking about the investigation of his sister’s possible death and wanted to flirt with Teuta in the only way he knew how to take his mind of things. That was…weird. It felt like that scene was only there just so Kohaku can draw a kabedon scene. To be fair, Mozu is not well versed in romantic language at all and is very autism-coded so I give him some slack as the scene comes off as someone who clearly didn’t know how to process his emotions properly. Once Teuta explains that’s not cool, he immediately backs off, apologises and promises to ask next time.

Also he slapped Teuta when she was feeling out about a fire in the school and a little girl is trapped in there. I know it was meant to be a “pull yourself together” slap and I’ve seen this trope in a bunch of shows, not just anime. But it’s still weird.

Worst LI

Takeru Sasazuka. I used to love this guy when I first got this game and good Lord I regret it. He’s supposed to be this tsundere who slowly defrosts and becomes nicer to Ichika, but considering how much he insults her and calls her a dog as a “joke”, but it’s okay he hugs her when she’s about to fall into a mental breakdown or cries in a moment of distress, so he really does love her and I’m like fuck off.

He only softens up when the sequel came out where there was only slice of life stories and nothing serious was on the horizon, like a terrorist threat from the last game. He is interesting as a character: he has a hatred of guns since his mother was shot in front of him when he was a kid and only became a cop in order to gain enough power to reinstate a gun safety law since every individual in Shinjuku atm has enough guns that’ll make a Republican blush. Also he has very little family or friends and deep down truly wants to have people in his life, despite his prickly exterior. There is a lot of potential for a defrosting ice king character like him. But being deliberately unlikable is still unlikable.

This really goes to show how 80 of Otomate’s men work better as standard characters, rather than love interests to the MC.

I can’t believe I fancied him when I was younger, although that might be due to Daisuke Namikawa voicing him.

Also Shin and Toma from Amnesia Memories. These two are the childhood friends of Maria and they have a bit of a rivalry cos they both have feelings for her, but depending on either route, Maria’s relationship with them changes (like if you chose Shin, Maria would consider Toma like a friend and vice versa)

However, do they act normal to Maria? HELL FUCKING NAH! I remember choosing Shin when I first played this game cos I thought he was the most normal of the LIs, he had a tragic past with his father being in prison for murder and everyone considers him guilty by association, his only true friends were Maria and Toma and he tersely motivated Maria to become a better singer. But ALL THAT GOODWILL JUST PISSED AWAY cos Not only was he being needlessly secretive towards Maria after her amnesia (cos the game wants to be a mystery and the story constantly trying to red herring you with possibilities that it was him who caused Maria’s amnesia when it really wasn’t), and his design and personality just REEKS of good girls dating the emotionally abusive bad boy trope like it’s the fucking 50s. Also the amount of forceful kissing this guy did was just yuck. 🤮

But that is small potatoes compared to Toma. He is a yandere character taken to a disturbing degree. He starts off friendly and cheerful, then when Maria is stalked by someone, he offers her to stay at his home for a while. I think we all know where this is going. After using Maria’s amnesia to his advantage by lying to her and everyone about their relationship, he quickly stops Maria from seeing her friends, attending uni or her job, drugs her food, takes away her cellphone to cut her off from everyone. And perhaps the most infamously evil thing he’s done is lock the woman up in a “kawaii uguu cage of love” and only lets her out to use the toilet and threatens to rape her if she dared get out of her cage or leave without telling her. And the only punishment he ever gets is Shin punching him once or in Shin’s route, Toma brings himself in to be arrested cos he can’t handle Maria’s rejection. THERES EVEN AN ENDING WHERE MARIA STRAIGHT UP FORGIVES HER. WHAT THE PISS-SHITTING FUCK?!

Toma is a vile, pathetic piece of shit and the fact that he is the most popular character in the game and his serial killer behaviour is memed by Otomate as if it’s a cute quirk is fucking disgusting. I found out online that there is a CAFE based on this game and you can order a dessert that is a direct reference to that infamous cage scene. That is how much attention this character has. And yet most people in the Otome community think he’s crazy but in a lol so crazy kinda way XD but Toma’s behaviour is so callous so frequently and to such a triggering degree, its no laughing matter. I swear, the people who like Toma (even in an ironic sense) are probably Reylo/Catradora stans.

Fave Otome artwork:

Definitely Kohaku Sumeragi’s work on Bustafellows. She makes the typical anime style look so expressive and lively. She’s not afraid to make her characters look silly, albeit to some restrictions cos we need our characters to still look pretty. Also the amount of detail in each character’s outfit without it looking too detailed is brilliant. Although she definitely needs to work on giving the women more prominent noses and stop giving characters like Teuta the baby doll eyes and bulk up Luka a bit. I want my muscular women

Worst Otome artwork

Suoh’s artwork is so fucking shit. Jesus Christ. does she draw all her characters so young, it’s fucking gross! For example, this is the MC, Shino in one of the games Suoh worked on, Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani. Shino’s age isn’t listed but she’s supposed to be a young adult. Also her character designs in general are so

DOES SHE EVEN REMOTELY LOOK LIKE AN ADULT?!

Worst off, there’s no lighting, barely any shading. Her expressions are extremely limited. Her colours are flat and lifeless. They look like literal cardboard cutouts. I don’t like to harp on the artwork too much cos I’m an artist myself but I have no idea why this woman is still getting work if this is her best work to date.

So, yeah. I hope I’ve answered all your questions, Yuisdad!

Serving.

Pairing: Elle argent x m!drag queen! Reader.

Trigger warning: none. Reader is a drag queen.

Note: love my drag queen community. Slay.

a drag queen known for your bold and fierce makeup looks, sitting down with Elle Argent, ready to work your magic on her. The energy in the room is electric, and Elle’s excited smile shows her trust in you to transform her into a glam queen for the night.

Elle sits in the chair, her long, slender fingers fidgeting with excitement. Her soft, caramel-colored skin catches the light perfectly as you prepare your brushes and palettes. You’ve done hundreds of faces before, but working with someone like Elle—a style icon with a graceful beauty—feels special. She radiates both elegance and a quiet confidence, and you can’t wait to enhance her natural glow.

“Ready for this?” you ask, twirling a large makeup brush between your fingers with a wink.

Elle laughs softly, her eyes sparkling. “More than ready! Make me fabulous.”

You start by laying down the base, a flawless, airbrushed foundation that makes her skin look smooth and luminous. Elle’s soft features are the perfect canvas, and you take your time to contour her high cheekbones and sculpt her face with precision. The goal is to create that perfect mix of feminine beauty and exaggerated drag glam, blending the worlds of everyday beauty and bold artistry.

As you work on her brows, shaping them into sharp, arched perfection, Elle watches intently in the mirror. “I love how strong this looks already,” she says with awe in her voice.

“Wait till you see the eyes, darling,” you respond with a playful grin, reaching for your brightest eyeshadows.

You decide on a bold, neon cut crease with glitter accents—something that will make her eyes pop under the stage lights. You carefully blend the shades, layering electric blues and purples that contrast beautifully with her soft, warm skin tone. The glitter you apply to her lids catches the light, sparkling like diamonds every time she blinks.

“Now for the lashes,” you declare, pulling out a pair of dramatic, fluttery falsies.

Elle’s eyes widen as she sees the lashes. “Are those wings or lashes?” she jokes, but she’s clearly excited.

“Both, honey. You’re about to fly,” you say with a wink, carefully applying the lashes to her eyes. The transformation is already striking—her features have gone from naturally stunning to drag royalty in mere minutes.

Next is the highlight, because no drag look is complete without blinding shine. You apply a shimmering gold highlight to the tops of her cheekbones, her nose, and her cupid’s bow, creating an ethereal glow that catches the light from every angle. You can’t help but step back for a moment, admiring your work.

“Look at you!” you exclaim, genuinely impressed. “Elle Argent, you’re a queen!”

Elle giggles, her gaze shifting between the mirror and you. “I’ve never looked like this before. It’s amazing. I feel so powerful!”

For the final touch, you reach for a deep, glossy lip color—something bold to complete the look. You carefully paint her lips with a rich burgundy shade that adds just the right amount of drama.

When you’re done, you spin her chair toward the mirror for the final reveal. Elle’s face lights up in pure awe as she takes in the full look. Her reflection stares back at her with glittering eyes, sculpted cheekbones, and the perfect blend of softness and drag intensity.

“Wow,” she breathes, turning her face to catch the highlight shimmering on her skin. “I feel like a totally different person.”

“Good,” you say, placing a hand on her shoulder. “That’s the power of drag. It’s about transformation, but it’s also about embracing every side of yourself. And trust me, you’re serving right now.”

Elle stands up, giving herself one last look in the mirror before twirling around dramatically, her face glowing with confidence. “Thank you,” she says sincerely. “You’ve turned me into a goddess.”

You smile, feeling proud of the work you’ve done. “Honey, you were always a goddess. I just gave you a little extra sparkle.”

Wild Hungover ‘77 OCs 2/??

Founded over 50 years ago drag House of Phyllis still rules in clubs all over the city. Serving eleganza, extravaganza, and glam to prove everyone that the matron, Sif Phyllis was, is and will always remain the rightful Queen of the Night City.

this time it's more than just one oc. Welcome to the House of Phyllis

Sif Phyllis [she/her & he/him out of drag]

a prominent drag queen on the scene back in the early '20s eventually earning the rightful title of the Queen of the Night City

she always aimed to elevated drag as the art form it is, but at the same time tried to not forget about the camp and fun aspect of it - hence her name Sif, referring to the Nordic goddess, and together with somewhat ordinarily sounding surname, Phyllis, creating a truly awful pun

after becoming drag mother to younger drag performers and really immersing herself in the community, Sif brought his own venue, ran by queer folk for queer folk, knowns as Ecksanex Street. or X&X st. for easier spelling

Sif stopped performing only in the early 70s, but still the guests of X&X st. can spot her on some nights, strolling around her club in fantastic costumes, with the air of the queen she truly is

Sono Abish [she/her]

before her debut in '66 Sono was a programmer for Arasaka, but the corporation bored her very fast, and as soon as an opportunity arrived she ditched it to fully experience life in the Night City

she's a fierce performer, loved on stages all over the city, not only in X&X st., but in Samurai and Ascalon Clubs as well

she's also a damn good netrunner, with many gangs seeking out her talents - mostly to screw over Arasaka

one of her vices is that she's a real mean son of a bitch

but that wasn't an issue for one of the Red Riders' drummer that befriend her and worked together on drag and music-related projects

other unique friednship was formed with super model Sidonia

after the people how relayed on her hacker skills the most fled the Night City in '74, she moved out as well

Silver Fox [she/them]

European queen who moved to the Night City to join its furry community, where almost immediately she became the star

all over the city one can easily find the merch with silver vixen, nsfw or not, there are adult movies, plushies, energy drink, and even discs with Silver's comedy shows that she does from time to time

of course, all of their fashionware is the top shelf - synthskin that turns their skin into almost fur-like looking silver, techhair, so she doesn't have to bother with wig, and bio-ears and -tail, her most prized, custom made, possesions

early in '76 she started her world tour visiting all furry conventions, is planning to return to the Night City permanently by the end of '78

Rüdeboi [they/them]

the actual, biological child of Sif, but now also yet another of her drag kids

they get their inspiration from the club kids from 1990s, as well as emo from '00, and all other alternative movements through the years

after performing during Silverhand's Battle '71 in Samurai Club Rüdeboi got an album contract, which, almost like in the Red Riders case, made it to the mainstream fast

unfortunately, '71 was a bad year for artists all around and despite featuring guest appearances of Red Riders, their debut album, #dulcet, didn't make it to the 1st place on charts after failing to beat extremely controversial Digital Dead Bodies by Geoffrey Mcklemore [which wasn't even a music album]

2020 VMA’s Recap!

Every year, I always look forward to a few things and one of those things is definitely the MTV Video Music Awards. The VMA’s have been iconic every year since it’s inauguration in 1984 with Madonna’s Like A Virgin performance. As the insanely obsessed pop culture person that I am, the VMA’s are like a national holiday and I prepare myself heavily before they happen. For this year, obviously things are different because of a little thing called the Covid-19 Pandemic but anyhow, I was still excited. When the nominees got announced I was a very mixed bag of emotions. I was very excited because Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande got the most nominations of the year (9) but, I was disappointed because Harry Styles and Dua Lipa only got technical nominations and didn’t get any in the main category. One of my friends shared the same disappointment with me and they said how every nominee in Video of the Year was from North America and I didn’t even think of that. I wish they didn’t nominate some things... but that’s alright. As the weeks went on, I voted for my faves and MTV announced Keke Palmer was hosting whichreally got me excited again because she is a queen. Also, when they announced the performers, my favorites being Miley, Gaga, Ariana, and Doja, I became thrilled.

Now, here I am with my Rain on Me shirt on, a few hours after the ceremony ended and I got to say, I am IMPRESSED!!! That was an AMAZING ceremony. For an award show during a pandemic, I got to say MTV pulled, it, off. Let’s get into it!:

OH. MY. GAGA. 

Lady Gaga was the star of the night and I am NOT disappointed one bit. Going into the night as the most nominated artist (tied with Ariana) I had high hopes. When I heard she was performing, I screamed because I couldn’t believe we were FINALLY getting a performance in the Chromatica era. Knowing that she had so much planned for the era, it’s been sad to see none of it come to fruition. Now let’s live in the present. THIS PERFORMANCE?!? FREAKING INCREDIBLE. I don’t even know where to start. The beginning of the performance with the old television, her laying down on the couch (mask on!), and seeing the TV have the 1999 VMA’s (with BRITNEY mentioned!) was when I knew it was going to be one of the best performances of her career. THEN, she WENT DOWN THE POLL and Chromatica II started playing and I almost threw up. I was so excited that she chose to do that interlude and sing some of 911 (maybe the third single?)! I was shook. Next, she had a quick change and started singing Rain on Me, and I immediately was hyperventilating. When Ariana came out, I really thought I was gonna pass out. In that moment, I was just seeing a dream come true in front of my eyes. I saw two of my ultimate QUEENS come together and give me all the life I need. I mean, the outfits, the masks, the chemistry, ARIANA’S HIGH NOTE?! GAGA’S VOCALS?! I can’t even. After that, when she started walking to the Brain piano, I thought she was about to do 1000 Doves (Piano Version) but I was mistaken! It was the first single, STUPID LOVE! Honestly, I was so happy she performed Stupid Love and got it’s moment because that wasn’t even performed live yet before tonight. Her speech in between the Stupid Love performance was beautiful and I loved when she brought the beat in and danced her ass off. Ugh, I just love her so much. 

Onto the actual awards, I cannot believe that she won FIVE! I expected Best Collaboration and was hoping for Artist of the Year but I was NOT expecting Song of the Year! The one that I didn’t even know was happening thought was the FIRST EVER, TRICON AWARD?! The fact that MTV gave Gaga her OWN award for being an icon, a legend and a triple threat was filling my Little Monster heart with such PRIDE and JOY! Seeing her go up on that stage in a new look with a new mask each time, gave me a little boost of serotonin each time. She is just a goddess. There is no one like her and there NEVER will be. 

GOOD GOLLY, MISS MILEY

It feels amazing to be a Miley stan tonight. Miley has been one of my absolute role models since I was a child. I have followed her and supported her my whole life even when people didn’t and I got to say, tonight felt really good. Her performance was PHENOMENAL. Starting off with her GORGEOUS silhouette in that STUNNING black dress and  cross necklace with the red chrome light shook me because I was not expecting that. And, that break before the first chorus?!? LOVED. After, it went to a blue chrome and she started walking while it went full color. When I saw her walk towards some stairs, I had to catch my breath. Suddenly, I see a disco ball. Then she took the bottom half of the dress off and hopped on the disco ball and I SCREAMED. LOUDLY. The fact that she has such an ICONIC moment like Wrecking Ball where she can do something eerily similar and EVERYBODY knows it, is fucking SENSATIONAL! HER VOCALS WERE ON POINT, FACE BEAT, BODY SNATCHED. She just gave the most perfect glam rock pop star performance that I’ve ever seen. Miley having this mainstream moment again just made me so happy. ALSO?! SHE WON TWO AWARDS TONIGHT. I cannot believe Miley won two VMA’s tonight. She doesn’t win a lot of awards (which is extremely disappointing) and to see her win TWO for MOTHER’S DAUGHTER a single from last year that peaked at #54 on the Billboard Hot 100 felt incredible. I just love when she gets the recognition she deserves.   

Other Thoughts:

The Weeknd’s opening performance was so great!! Recently, I have gotten sick of Blinding Lights but this performance totally revitalized for me how great of a song that is. I don’t know how he was up so high but he did an awesome job and the fireworks were great! Also, I’m happy he finally won his first two VMA’s for Best R&B (even though it’s a pop song) and Video of the Year. 

Keke’s hosting was entertaining as hell. She was the perfect host for a time like this for many reasons. She’s funny, relatable, beautiful, entertaining and so many more positive things. I found her really funny and I just love her presence as a whole. Even her little performance was cute too! 

Doja Cat actually blew me away. I was not expecting her to serve that hard. The performance was so futuristic and felt like I was in a new universe. I loved her outfit and LOVED the Say So mix! Also, so happy she included Like That because it’s such a jam. I love Doja and ever since I discovered Juicy last year I've been stanning and this definitely solidified the stan for me. I am so happy that she won (RIGHTFULLY SO!) for Best New Artist. She has had a great rise and her performance definitely gives me high hopes for her future. 

My rankings of the performances are:

Pre Show:

1. Chloe x Halle - Ungodly Hour (THESE QUEENS ARE THE FUTURE!)

2. Machine Gun Kelly w/ blackbear & Travis Barker - My Ex’s Best Friend/Bloody Valentine (I have become really obsessed with his new music recently and love him)

3. Tate McRae - You Broke Me First (surprised by this cause I didn’t know anything about her before but she did a good job!)

4. Jack Harlow - What’s Poppin (cute ig)

5. Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go (🙂)

Main Show: 1. Lady Gaga w/ Ariana Grande - Chromatica II, 911, Rain on Me, Stupid Love (FUCKING AMAZING. SENSATIONAL, &, UNREAL)

2. Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky (MY QUEEN SO ICONIC I LOVE HER SO MUCH)

3. Doja Cat - Say So/Like That (SO FUTURISTIC AND SOLIDIFIED HER WIN AND SHOWED THAT SHE CAN SERVE)

4. The Weeknd - Blinding Lights (really made me love the song so much more)

5. BTS - Dynamite (I like these boys but the fanbase is so much it stresses me out).

6. JP Saxe & Julia Michaels - If The World Was Ending (so cute, love Julia)

7. Dababy - Peep Hole, Blind, & Rockstar 

8. Maluma - Hawái (loved the drive in aspect)

9. Keke Palmer - Snack (wish she had more time)

10. Black Eyed Peas w/ Nicky Jam & Tyga - Vida Loca/I Gotta Feeling (no one can take Fergie’s place)

11. CNCO - Beso

To end this, I’m just gonna leave this picture here. :)

The intern | 12: Date preparations

GIFS NOT MINE. THIS IS ALL FICTION. Genre(s): intern!au / fluff / mild angst Group(s): NCT / Red Velvet Pairing(s): Moon Taeil x fem!reader Summary: The new Elysion Publishings intern is the youngest they ever had. It’s not a problem until she grabs the attention of the IT guy. Warning(s): Age-gap of five years [Masterlist] [Mini masterlist]

“He asked you out on a date and you’re only telling me this two days before?”, screeches Wendy as I drag her Tuesday morning into the lady’s toilet.

“What’s with you and yelling at me, seriously?”, I grumble and rub my ears at the volume she can produce.

“Well, we’ve agreed on which day yesterday night and I didn’t want to hype you up for nothing”, I shrug and show her the conversation Taeil and I had last night.

[[TEXT]]

“So it has to be something formal? Do you want a dress or a suit?”, Wendy question as she opens the link Taeil send me of the restaurant. “Holy shit, that shit’s expensive.”

“I know! And it makes me feel bad that he wants to waste so much money on me...” I look down.

“My child”, says Wendy as she cradles my face with both hands, “you are worth it. And so much more. He damn right spent so much on you. Never. Ever. Say you’re not worth it.” As she says that, she boops my nose by every word to make a statement.

I smile shyly at Wendy’s kind words and rub my nose. “You’re too kind, I swear.” I engulf her in a big hug and she laughs.

“This is the plan”, she claps her hand together as we walk back towards our desks. “After work, we’re going to do some prime time shopping and tonight, after we’ve stuffed our face with unhealthy food, we’ll put on some facemasks and watch a couple of movies.”

“So... like a sleepover?”, I question, rolling my desk chair back and sitting on it. 

Wendy nods happily. “Yeah, like a sleepover.”

“We’re having a sleepover?” Johnny’s head pops up above the desk dividers and Taeyong rolls his chair over to me and wiggles his eyebrows.  

“We’re having a sleepover”, says Wendy as she points between her and me. “Because this cutie has scored a date.”

“With Loverboy?”, asks Taeyong and I nod shyly, a blush creeping on my face.

“You’re so cute!”, the two guys exclaim at the same time.

I push Taeyonga way with a huff. “I am not cute.”

“Where do you wanna start?”, asks Wendy as she chews on the straw of her iced americano. 

I raise my shoulders. “You tell me, I’m not so familiar with the shopping scene here.”

Wendy frowns a little as she pulls me after her into a shop. “Don’t say in all those months you’ve been here, you never went out on a shopping spree?”

“I did! We went a couple of times, remember? And I’ve been to Hongdae and Gangnam. I’m not a total couch potato!” I give Wendy a soft shove against her shoulder as we browse the clothing racks.  

When nothing piqued my interest, we move on to the next shop. And that’s how our day is spent. 

Until we walk into a cute boutique and my eyes immediately fall on a dress that’s displayed in the middle of the shop.

It’s a dark blue underdress that ends just above the knees with spaghetti straps and a mesh overdress with poofy sleeves and the stars embroidered on it.

“That’s my dress”, I say dumbfounded grabbing the skirt to feel how the fabric feels like. 

“Would you like to try the dress on?”, asks a saleslady and I nod enthusiastically. She grabs the dress in my size and I am shooed off towards the fitting rooms.

“How does it fit?”, asks Wendy through the curtains when I slip the dress on. 

“Perfect. But I can’t zip it up myself”, I grumble as I try to reach the zipper without ruining the dress.

Wendy shoves the curtains away and I turn my back towards her so she can zip me up. 

I take a step out of the dressing room to look at myself in the big mirror. My breath stops for just a moment at how beautiful this dress it.

“You look like a goddess”, says Wendy breathlessly while she walks circles around me. “With the right earrings and necklace is the look complete.”

I turn towards the saleslady and smile. “I’ll take it.”

After I put my own closes back on, I walk towards the counter to pay. I give the saleslady my card and she swipes it across the chip reader.

“A special occasion?”, she questions with a small smile as she bags up the dress.

Wendy bounces behind me and throws her arm over my shoulders. “She got asked on her first date. And he’s taking her to some fancy restaurant so I dragged her with me to make her look presentable.” 

The lady chuckles. “I should keep him.”

I take the bag with a light blush on my cheeks. “I’m not planning to let him go.”

We wave goodbye to the lady and go on our merry way.

“So, what’s next?”, I question as I link arms with Wendy.

“We only have to find some accessories and a nice pair of shoes. Any ideas?”

I bite my lip while thinking. “Ehm... there is this little shop three streets down that sells cute jewellery. I’ve bought there those snowflake earings.”

Wendy hums. “Lead the way.”  

We walk towards the shop and rummage through all the pairs of earrings and necklaces before we find the perfect one. One shop over is where we find a pair of shoes that match by the dress. 

“So, we’re done?”, I question, a mixture of happiness and relieve in my voice. I like shopping, but not when it makes me broke.

“Yeah. Unless you want to drink something,”

“Or we stop at a chicken place and grab a delicious plate of fried chicken”, I propose with a slight eyebrow wiggle.

Wendy laughs loudly and we walk towards our favourite chicken place.

“I can’t do this!”, I cry out over the phone, my make-up and hair not doing what it should. I’m still in my pyjamas as my hair is sticking out all different kinds of sides.

“Hold on babe”, says Wendy as I hear the jingle of her car keys. “I’m going to pick up some help and then I’m right over.”

And not even twenty minutes later, a hurried knock is at my door. I rush towards it and throw it open. 

Wendy pulls Johnny and Taeyong behind her as she looks at me. “Oh darling, are you stressing this much that you can’t even brush your own hair?” She cradles my face and I nod.

I’m on the verge of tears as Johnny pushes me in one of my dining chairs. “Don’t worry, we three will be here to help you.” Johnny gives me a reassuring smile as he’s off to grab who knows what.

“Why didn’t you told us that you had a date?”, questions Taeyong as he whips out makeup from a backpack I didn’t even know he brought it with him. 

“I didn’t want to be teased, oppa...”, I mutter, looking down as I play with my fingers.

Taeyong sighs. “We never meant it in a bad way, that teasing. We do it because you get really cute when you’re flustered. That’s one of the only times you drop your big girl facâde and show that you’re still a twenty-year-old who’s actually far out of your comfort zone.”

I look surprised at Taeyong. “Really?”

He nods. “Yeah. And I just like to make fun of your big fat crush on Loverboy.” Taeyong laughs loudly as I hit him.

“Jerk!”

In the meantime has Johnny arrived back with all my hair products and brushes. “What was your original plan?”

“I wanted to do something like Belle from Beauty and the Beast, but then with a braid around the bun”, I explain while I talk animated with my hands to show what I mean. “I know it’s maybe impossible with my shoulder-length hair, but trying is not bad, right?”

“Lucky you, I can do that.”

“And what would you like as make-up?”, questions Taeyong as he displays the different products he brought with him.

Wendy carries the dress in her hands and shows it to Taeyong. “Is this helpful?” Taeyong nods and grabs a brush and concealer.

“How do you guys know how to do make-up and hair?”, I ask as the two males start to work on my appearance.

“I always was interested in make-up and just started to experiment with my sister’s stuff. I even thought about being a drag queen for a year but that would be too much... glam.” Taeyong knits his brows together as he starts applying a dark blue eyeshadow.

“And I... I don’t know actually”, says Johnny while he brushes my hair. “It just happened, you know.”

“Have you eaten or did you also forget that?”, calls Wendy from the kitchen as she looks through my fridge.

“Yeah, I’ve had a sandwich with cheese for lunch.”

The three of them stop what they’re doing and look at me. “And only that?”, they ask in union and I nod.

“Yeah, it’s pretty common to have only a sandwich with cheese and butter for lunch back home. Most people also have it for breakfast.”

“So no side dishes, no noodles, nothing?”, says Taeyong dumbfounded and I nod slightly, not wanting to mess up their work.

After a while takes Johnny a step back and looks at his work. “Finish!”

Wendy walks towards us and inspects the hairdo. “It’s cute. Good job!” She high fives him.

“Can I have a mirror to see too?”, I question but get a ‘no’ from all three of them.

“You only get to see the finished product. So hold on a little longer.”

After Taeyong’s also finished, I am pushed into my bedroom by Wendy and she helps me into my dress, accessories, and the finishing touches. 

“You look absolutely breathtaking, darling. If he doesn’t marry you on the spot, I will”, says Johnny as he holds hands for my eyes, ignoring the panicked Taeyong in the back as he warns him not to mess up his work.

Once Johnny takes away his hands and I open my eyes, I am speechless. “Is... is this me?” I touch my hair and dress, not believing that that is me.

“That you guys so much!”, I turn around and engulf them in a big hug.

“It was nothing, (Y/n). We just wanted to make sure you looked perfect for your first date.” Johnny fixes a lock that has gotten out of place.

“And you’re just in time ready for your date. Because I just heard a knock on your door.”

I look panicked at Wendy. “Why didn’t you told me sooner!”

I rush towards the front door but stop, taking a deep breath and opening the door with a wide smile.

Taeil looks at me with his mouth agape and drops his hand next to him that was holding a bouquet of flowers. 

“You look... you look absolutely amazing. Wow.”

I smile shyly and let my eyes travel over his appearance. Taeil’s wearing a back suit jacket and pants, a white blouse with a tie in the exact same colour as my dress. His hair is swiped to the side and he has a soft smile on his face.

“This is for you”, he says as he trusts the flowers under my nose.

It is soft pink roses with small pink flowers wrapped in the same pink wrapping paper. “I’ve once seen you retweet a photo of it. So I asked Yuta to recreate it.”

“I love it. Let me put it in a vase.” I grab him by his hand and lead him into my kitchen. 

“Oh, hey... guys”, says Taeil awkwardly as he sees Wendy, Taeyong, and Johnny standing in the living room with smirks on their faces. “I didn’t know you guys would be here too.”

As I see his smile drop slightly I begin to stutter. “Oh-oh no! The-they were to help me get ready.”

“I’ll put them in some water, you two go.” Taeyong shoos us away and I frown.

“Are you sure? I can do it myself too.”

“Just go and enjoy your date. We’ll let ourselves out.” 

We wave at the three and put on our shoes. But as I stand up straight, I notice I’m the same height as him, if not taller.

“Oh...”, I mumble, a blush spreading on my cheeks, “I’ll go and grab some flats, be right back.”

But before I can walk back to grab some ballerinas, has Taeil his hands wrapped around my wrist. 

“Don’t change your shoes because you’re taller. I don’t care if you’re smaller than me or if I have to stand on my tiptoes to kiss your temple when you wear heels. I adore everything about you, even your height.”

I intertwine our hands and smile brightly. Damn, this dude likes even the things I hate about my self.

“Ready to go?”, he questions as I’ve put on a jacket. He leads me down towards his car and holds open the door for me to get in. 

“You’re too perfect. There has to be a catch.” I narrow my eyes and look at him as Taeil smiles.

“Believe it or not, I am one-hundred per cent real, darling.”

The way towards the restaurant is filled with pleasant small talk about how Bong Bong is doing and him asking how my pups are doing.

“I get every once in a while pictures of my mom and dad walking the dogs or them sleeping on top of each other. It helps to ease the homesickness I have every now and then.”

“You know, if you want to walk Bbong-ie or just, I don’t know, hang out with her, you can text me.” As we stop at a traffic light turns taeil to me and grabs my hand, intertwining our hands.

“Hmm, good idea. Gives me an excuse to hang out with you.” I smile brightly and Taeil blushes.

The radfems who are obsessed with calling other radfems ugly or hot remind me of those libfems who claim to reject beauty standards but second they see Kylie Jenner without lip fillers and spray tan they go “LOL SHES UGLY DID YOU ALL KNOW SHES UGGGGLLLYYY FAKE BITCH” and then call glammed up femme celebs goddesses. Y’all turn into beauty obsessed libfems the second you get your hands on a radfem’s selfie and it’s very telling
