[chauves0uris]

this is very important to me: what do yall think is kevin's favourite historical period/favourite event/historical whatever? i need to talk abt this more

[artdcnaldson]

ok so the thing is, at this point in time, art is so mean and cruel to reader, like hes hot and sexy, but mean. and he absolutely prioritizes his own pleasure far above hers. so i was thinking a little thought, im 100% convinced that art would pinch readers nose closed while fucking her face... :) probably after she said something extra bratty, or flirted with one of the guys from the tennis team. basically hes sick of her bullshit and wants her to suffer the consequences. whilst either or maybe alternating between, holding her head down on his cock, and smacking her cheeks. all whilst calling her a little slut :(((

i luv him, i need him

-🐞

Ohhhhh agree <3

We got a little of it in the vignette where Art fucks her throat at her house and pinches her nose closed (pre-breakup) but I knowwww he would’ve done it before.

He sees you talking with one of his teammates (a sophomore named Ryan) at a party after he told you to stop fucking hovering around him. He knew it was to get back at him, the way you smiled and put a hand on his arm while you laughed at his jokes. Ryan wasn’t that funny. Ryan wasn’t funny period.

But yeah </3 he has to tug you into a spare bedroom, push you to your knees, and sink his cock into your mouth. You moan around him, lashes fluttering as your eyes grow all wet and slick with tears. He pops your cheek and you whine.

“You looked so fucking trashy throwing yourself at the team. You know people talked about it in the locker room, right? About how desperate you were. I’m teaching you a lesson. This is how guys treat sluts,” Art moans. Your tongue laves at the underside of his cock. He doesn’t know how you know to do that— you must’ve been whoring yourself around. It pisses him off just to think about. He thrusts deeper, holds your head down on him until your throat constricts and you gag.

You’re panting when he pulls you off, lips drooly and strung with spit. You look up at him, suck on his tip, swirl your tongue around the head like you would a fucking lollipop. It makes him crazy. You do that to him. “You’re such a— fuck- god- that fucking mouth— a fucking whore.”

You nod, press a sweet kiss to his tip. “I wanted you to notice me,” you admit. “You only notice me when I’m with other boys. You’re jealous.”

His jaw ticks. That was the wrong fucking thing to say. He grabs the back of your head, bottoms out until his dick is buried in the warmth of your throat. It’s hard for you, he knows, but you must’ve been practicing, or something, because he finds less resistance than he thought there would be. “I’m not fucking jealous,” he says, breathy and fucked-out just from your mouth.

You look up at him, and there’s a sort of knowing in your gaze, an understanding. He can’t say anything to convince you otherwise. He is jealous, you know it, he wants you so bad, you just have to convince him more.

It pisses him off. He pulls out of your mouth, lets you take a few deep inhales, and then he’s thrusting back into your mouth, holding your nose closed so you stop fucking thinking it’s a reward for being such an easy slut. He fucks into your mouth, all hot and wet and suctioning around him. You’re whining, all muffled and drooly. Small little hands pushing against his thighs as you claw for air.

Jesus, that shouldn’t get him hard. He’s a better person than that, he’s not Patrick.

But you’re looking up at him with half-lidded eyes, crying out even though your words are muffled by his cock down your throat. He pulls off, lets you take a heaving breath, and buries himself back inside that perfect fucking mouth of yours.

He doesn’t cum in your mouth, even though he wants to. You’d probably like it if he did. He pulls out, leaves you panting and gasping beneath him as he glazes that pretty face of yours with his cum.

He grabs his phone, snaps a picture before you can react. Your eyes widen in surprise and you stand up, scrambling to take it from him. “I could fucking send this around, let everyone know how easy you are,” he threatens.

“Art, stop—“ you whine. “Delete that.”

He laughs at the sight, of you jumping for the phone he’s holding above your head, lips swollen, face painted with thick ropes of his cum. He could tell you to fucking roll over and you would. He grins. “I’m not going to, because I’m a good person. Because Patrick would fucking kill me if he found out you were getting run through by the tennis team.”

“So what’s the point?” You ask, as you grab one of his shirts and wipe your face off, grimacing at the sticky smear on your skin.

Art just shrugs, settles on his bed. “Maybe I just like seeing you be the one to squirm for once.” He rolls his eyes, pats your cheek and nods for the door. “I’ll see you at the party Shawn’s hosting, right?”

Confusion flickers across your expression but you nod. “Yeah, uh, if you think I should—“ He nods and you smile, all pretty and hopeful. “Okay, yeah. I’ll see you then.”

You’re practically skipping on the way back to your dorm.

WE’RE BACK WITH STANFORD ERA PATRICK’S SISTER AU AND EVERYONE CLAPPED!!!!!!

Time Travel Question 10: Ancient History III

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration. I'm combining some similar ones, so some are going to be a little vague. I'm going to also split into a whole lot of different polls because there were so many good and creative ideas. (Seriously, I love the people of Tumblr).

Please add new suggestions for this category below if you have them for future consideration.

You are welcome to suggest specific things from the Library of Alexandria. There will be polls for that.

i like the meronia fandom because there's top tier art, top tier stories and top tier people and I just think that's neat

Is it weird to cry over your own love poetry?

Asking for a friend.

~~~~

Scarr'd Love

Your fear, my love, is drowning your desire

I can sense it

I know it of old

Like a childhood friend

Nostalgia has buried within our play that it was an escape

from torment elsewhere

But we are not children any longer

We've met our abusers to face

and called them

by name

The scars still linger

The fear still washes cold

through our gut

But come play with me, my love

No flood of nostalgia;

only the tumbling raucous

brook'd truth

of our love

~~~~

Me checking if y'all are properly appreciating my poetic genius:

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that while Wolfe and the kids might get the credit for overthrowing the old Archivist, it was Captain Niccolo Santi who had a coup all lined up and ready to go.

I just listened to the podcast interview you posted here, and the question you answered about Alexandria intrigued me! I always thought that the city Alexander left was smaller and not as relevant as it would eventually become. Could we then say that the Ptolemies carried out (probably due to their own interests as sovereigns, but still) Alexander's will by turning Alexandria into an international hub in the Mediterranean?

Alexander merely "cut" the lines of what would become Alexandria (e.g., the basic layout of it). He never lived to see it built. There's some debate as to how much input he really had, but I'm disinclined to dismiss a very real interest on his part in city design. He was Aristotles' student. :-)

I do think he had big plans for the place. So in that respect, Ptolemy (and his successors) carried out what I believe he wanted, including the library. Supposedly, he was inspired after being shown the ruins of Ashurbanipal's Library when they passed Nineveh on the way to fight Darius at Gaugamela. He wanted to do the same, but with all Greek knowledge. (E.g., collect it in one place.) Again, some have doubted the idea of the library was ever his, but it doesn't strike me as an un-Alexander-ish notion.

me when there are very specific scenes in history i want to see my punching bags in but they arent ao3 tags 😔

[romeythehomie]

the blimp hangar near my university burned down 😭😭😭

[hotfuss]

i stand by what i always believed, that instagram is a cesspool, but the fact they have taken away the most recent while browsing a tag, basically rendering that useless is one of the worst things ever. i wanted to look at pics to get inspired to draw!!
