CRIMSON SINS

PAIRING: Red Hood/Jason Todd x Reader (Enemies with benefits)

WARNING: 18+ SMUTTTT P IN V

NOTES: I decided to give writing smut a try.... Again haha. Also it's short but enjoy. ❤️❤️❤️

The warehouse air tastes of smoke and rain when you crash through the window, boots skidding across broken glass. Red Hood is already there — Jason Todd, bane of your existence, the man you can’t kill and can’t stop wanting.

His helmet turns your way. “You’re late.”

You yank off your mask, breath ragged from the chase. “Had to deal with your mess first.”

He stalks toward you, body armor glinting under the sickly lights. “My mess? Thought you loved cleaning up after me.”

Your knives clatter to the floor when he slams you against the wall. The scent of gunpowder clings to him, electric and dangerous. You hate him — hate the way his hands feel like they own you when they grab your hips, hate the way your body arches into his armor, heat pulsing between your legs.

Your lips crash together, teeth clashing. His kiss is bruising, violent, a war you’ve both been dying to lose. You claw at the buckles on his chest plate; he shoves your jacket from your shoulders, biting at your neck hard enough to leave marks.

“You think you can just barge in here and tell me what to do?” he growls against your ear, his gloved fingers tearing at your shirt until it falls open.

You pant, eyes dark with fury and desire. “You think you can do whatever you want because you wear that fucking helmet?”

He rips it off, revealing his hair damp with sweat, eyes burning into yours. “I can do whatever I want,” he snarls, hand fisting your hair as he drags your mouth back to his.

He spins you, slams you against a crate, pushes your legs apart with a knee. The cold edge of a knife presses to your thigh — not enough to cut, just enough to remind you who’s in control. His other hand slides into your pants, fingers finding you already wet and aching.

“Look at you,” he rasps, lips brushing your ear, voice rough with a dangerous edge. “So desperate you’d let your enemy fuck you in a goddamn warehouse.”

Your answer is a guttural moan as his fingers thrust hard and deep, relentless and punishing. You clutch the splintered crate, nails biting into the wood as he fucks you with his hand, his thumb circling your clit until your vision goes white.

But he doesn’t let you come — he pulls away, unzips his tactical pants, the sound obscene in the silence.

“Beg,” he orders, voice low, ragged.

You glare at him over your shoulder, lips parted. “Fuck you.”

He grips your hip, lines himself up, and slams into you without warning. The stretch is brutal, delicious, knocking the breath from your lungs. He sets a punishing pace, each thrust driving you into the crate, the slap of skin on skin echoing through the empty building.

“Fucking hell,” he snarls, hands gripping your waist so hard you know you’ll have bruises tomorrow. “You feel so good.”

Your head falls forward, eyes squeezed shut. Every thrust sends you spiraling, pleasure winding tighter and tighter. He snakes a hand around to rub your clit, his movements rough, desperate.

“Jason —” you gasp, and he freezes.

“Say it again.”

“Jason,” you whimper, voice breaking. He groans low in his chest, slamming into you harder, deeper, until you’re screaming his name, shattering around him.

He follows with a ragged shout, hips jerking as he spills inside you, forehead pressed to your shoulder, both of you shaking.

The silence after is deafening. His breathing is ragged in your ear. His hands linger on your hips, grip softening.

You turn your head, catching his eyes over your shoulder — eyes still stormy, but softer now, conflicted.

“This doesn’t change anything,” you whisper.

He smirks, though it doesn’t reach his eyes. “Keep telling yourself that.”

His lips brush yours once — almost gentle — before he pulls away, the cold emptiness rushing in as he zips up and reaches for his helmet.

And just like that, the Red Hood is back, your enemy once more.

Today, the unspeakably cruel devil in white swore eternity to me.

After the ceremony, he carried me back to the room.

Then Darius lowered me onto the bed and looked me over from head to toe.

Darius: This is the second time I’ve seen you in a white dress.

Darius: I didn’t give it much thought back then, but white looks great on you.

Kate: Haha….thanks. It looks great on you too, Darius.

Darius: Yes, thank you.

He softly sits down beside me, and with a gentle smile he squeezes both of my hands.

The honey-colored eyes staring at me are filled with love, his touch is tender and his expression is cheerful.

There he was, showing his sweet side only to me.

His "back then" mention reminds me of the day I wore a white dress, so I teasingly ask.

Kate: You said there was no such thing as true love, do you still feel the same now?

His eyes widened for a moment before looking down.

Darius: ….When it comes down to it, things like true love, eternal vows, and invariable feelings aren’t tangible.

Darius: If you’re asking if I really believe in them, I’m still skeptical.

Darius: But….maybe I do believe in it more now than I did before.

Our hands are squeezed tightly together.

Darius: I think you’re aware of this, but my views won’t change.

Darius: I don’t care for people a part from you, and I remain incredulous of them.

Darius: No matter where I go, humans are all the same.

Our fingers intertwined, our hands tightly pressed together.

Darius: But I do trust in the love that comes from you as a human.

He stares at me in silence for a few seconds before he speaks.

Darius: I….I lo—

Darius appears to be omitting a verb, which the MC is likely able to pick up on. This makes the sentence ambiguous, and allows for any rendering. To me, he is struggling to tell her that he loves her, so I will translate the line as above. However, the line I’ve translated will likely be different from the official translation.

I quickly released our hands and covered Darius’ mouth which surprised him.

Kate: ….It’s okay, I get it.

I took his hand again and placed it over my heart.

Kate: I’ll say it for you, so just leave it to me.

He pouted his lips in dissatisfaction when I assured him with a smile.

Darius: Then what should I do when I really want to say it?

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen that sulky look.

But each time I see it, I find it endearing and that’s proof of our unchanging love.

Kate: Let’s see…..

While smiling and poking his lips with my finger, an idea struck me, so I brought my lips closer.

Kate: When you want to say it, just tell me with a kiss.

Darius: Hehe….okay. Then you can communicate it with words.

He pushes me down on the bed and his lips inch closer.

Kate: Mmn……I love you.

After a light kiss, I express his feelings for him.

Darius: That’s right, and what about this one?

Kate: Mmmn…….I love you so much.

The second kiss lasts longer and as soon as our lips part, I murmur my reply.

Darius: Right again. So, what about this last one?

Kate: Mmn….Haaa…..Hehe, I love you more than anything.

Kate’s lines after each kiss goes like this: Kiss 1 - suki, Kiss 2 - daisuki, Kiss 3 - aishitemasu. Lit. each can be translated as “I love you,” or "I love you a lot," but the nuance of how much each "I love you" weighs is lost in translation. So, I took the liberty of adding additional verbiage to each line. EN may simply translate each line as “I love you,” or they might do something similar to me.

The third kiss was a heated one with our tongues entangled with the others.

As I laughed at the fervent kiss, Darius laughed as well.

Kate: So, did I manage to say everything you’re feeling?

Darius: Yes, full marks. You understand me completely.

Kate: After spending so much time together, I can at least know how you feel.

Smiling as he kisses my cheek, I continue.

Kate: Like when you’re in a bad mood, when you’re happy, or when you’re being loving.

Kate: You’re pretty easy to understand. It’s written all over your face.

Darius: Aren’t you easier to understand? Your foolish honesty is scrawled all over your face.

Kate: …..You called me a foolish.

Darius: Yes, you are foolish. You’re a laughably frank, meddlesome, silly person.

Strangely, I was convinced that this happy time, in a space where our idle conversations and echoing laughter are undisturbed, would continue tomorrow and the day after that.

After laughing for a while, he flopped down next to me and wrapped his arm around my back.

Snuggled up, I put my head to his chest and listened to his heart beat.

Kate: Hey, Darius.

Darius: Mm?

I raised my head and saw him gazing lovingly at me with a smile.

Kate: We’re a real family now.

He frowned at my comment as if he were on the verge of tears, and then smiled.

Darius: …..That’s right. In both name and in reality, you’re my family.

Darius: My one and only family.

He buried his face in my shoulder and hugged me tightly.

His body wasn’t trembling because of crying, but I knew what he was feeling, and I hugged him back tightly.

Darius: I’ve said it many times before. I don’t need anyone else but you and the curse, but I don’t even know how to love you.

Kate: You're enough for me. But I believe you do know how to love me.

He slowly looked up and our eyes met.

Kate: I’m happy to be here because you love me, so don’t worry.

I’m sure he what he means is something that might happen in the future someday.

He doesn't particularly want it to happen, but somewhere in his heart he fears the future that might occur.

Even so—

Kate: No matter what the future holds, we’ll be fine Darius.

Kate: Because our love will not change, until we die.

Darius’ lips came closer, his eyebrows lowered with a tender smile reaching all the to the corners of his eyes.

As the arm around my back unfasten the laces of my corset, I closed my eyes and thought about our sweet first wedding night.

Darius: I’ll believe you, if you say so.

An unchanging love was there.

Fin.

OKAY Y'ALL ITS ASKS TIIIIME!!!

Worth noting is that I won't be answering any more of these asks after this post goes up!! As fun as it is, I unfortunately can't keep analyzing ships all day :') Feel free to keep replying to this post though, it's fun to see people's takes, even if I don't have time to reply!

Thank you all so much for the responses! Let's get to answering those asks, shall we?

@h3xt0r

SURGE/WAVE!!!!! I have a friend who recently discovered this one and absolutely LOVES it, so now I'm slowly being osmosised into also going crazy for it lol. Love it when women are mean as hell, good for them <3

I see a good handful of people ship Knuxadow, which is awesome because that ship is really fun and it means I don't have to make the content myself for it to exists and I just get to enjoy it >:]

Something about how they both have such tough, stoic exteriors but still have very different personalities is just so fun. Plus, I think Knuckles would think Shadow's cool as hell

@darlingdelusion04

HONESTLY!!! It's worth playing TMoStH JUST for Barry's consistent bi panic alone lmao, I love them so much :'D I feel like this would fall under my favourite genre of Sonic ships, which is someone so obviously crushing on him and him remaining fully oblivious of that fact, willfully or not. It's funny every time

GAH YES love this!! I'm a big supporter of the "Sonic has no qualms about kissing like 99% of his friends on the mouth at the drop of a hat" agenda, it's just such a funny idea to me. And I fully agree, him and Rouge have SO MUCH chemistry, they could absolutely quip back and forth all day if they felt like it lol :'D

Wow, that's a real obscure one!! Very fun though! The idea that Blaze is so happy to have someone she doesn't have to supress herself to even touch without causing harm is going to ruin me forever though ;; My poor girlieeeeee

I haven't watched Boom, so I'm not fully certain on Sticks' personality... I know she's intense, and I'm pretty sure she's very paranoid?? About tech especially?? Which if that's the case just makes pairing her up with Omega really, really funny to me (in a good way!) She really said "I hate tech, but not this one"

With Amy, I bet she'd do just fine <3 I feel like Amy tends to generally get along with every other female character (especially moreso recently :'D), so Sticks would be no problem for her!

@alialastor

Oh my gosh yes actually, Rouge and Amy had a fantastic chapter in IDW where the two of them hung out at a ski resort and gODDD do i just loved every single interaction they had, they were so sillyyyy <3 I yearn to see more of them

Kittails!! I've seen this one around once in a while, and I think it's cute enough when they're a bit older. I'm just too much of a sucker for Kit Certfied Hater Behaviour, it's so damn funny to me haha

I must unfortunately relent, as I've still yet to read Archie, so I don't know much about the characters 😔 You're right though, they really do look good together!!!

OMG YOUR MINNNDDD,,, THIS IS SO CUTE!!! The fact that they're both two very different types of cool girl AND two very different genre of loser <3

@karma-creations

HAHA, yeah no, I've learned the hard way never to make a joke about a random ship, it's a slippery slope every time............ </3

I'm almost curious what the bit was that inspired Omega X Jet in the first place because it seems so out there to me, I love it :'D

AWWWHHH!!! THAT'S ADORABLE! Now that you mention it, I do bet they would be really good for each other! Whisper being good at giving advice and Amy being the one who's good at comforting is sO FUNNN!!!!!

@basmatirick

Lol, the spiky, spiky boys >:)

That's really fun though! I do bet they would def get into small squabbles ALLLL the time, no way this flock of goobers can all decide on a place to eat lunch in anywhere near a timely manner

I have NO idea who Swifty the Shrew is, tbh </3 From what I gather he's from the Boom show?? And theres many of him??? Good for Jet that he found a relationship that needs world renowned philosophers to figure out if it's considered a polycule or not

@scarlettclownose

I'd say it's rare! Definitely haven't seen that particularly trio around myself, at least :'D Pretty fun though!

I very much need to watch the Shadow and Metal Rivals dialogue,, I don't know much of their dynamic, other than I think Shadow would feel for him. To him, that's another being created by science to fulfil someone's evil scheme, and he can't help but feel for him. I like their dynamic a lot in that sense at least :'D

And Metamy is fun too!! I just think it's so silly and funny. Just the idea of there being this scary ass murder robot, only for Amy to pick him up and be like "nope. Mine Now." cracks me up haha

(this ask was actually sent a couple days before this post, and was actually lowkey what inspired me to ask for ships in the first place!)

He really does seem to get along well with those hedgehog boys, doesn't he? :'D I fully agree though, it would be so fun to see more interaction between the miscellaneous cast. I really can't wait for the Crossworlds ones !

I answered a reply about Shadow and Espio, but their efforlessly cool x tryhard loser swag does admittedly intrigue me. But at the end of the day, I truly do love myself that good ol Silver and Espio dynamic, which was a WILD pair-up btw, even more so than Shadow and Metal imo because at least those two have the commonality of being antagonists at some point. Silver and Espio really had no business being paired, but I'm glad they did because it works SO well! But yeah, Silver's lucky Espio was so tolerant and patient with him because my boy was acting out something fierce that game, good lord lol

Y'know what? Send me your favourite rare/uncommon Sonic ships and what you like about it, and I'll throw in my two cents about 'em!

Can be asks or replies! Just kinda in a theorizing/speculation mood lol :D

THE WET MONSTER

warning : kissing, clit rub, pregnant, sperm donor, unprotected sex, creampie, pissing (yes, uncontrollable, pleasurable pissing don't read if you don't like it), back to back orgasms, intense pounding, he leaks, she leaks, haha just a lot of piss and a lot of trust.

You look at his eyes knowing he's ready to wreck you. He's waited enough. You've made him wait enough. You know he won't let you get away without ruining you tonight. He's been begging you for so long. You know it's not just lust. He wants to make love to you, show you how much he loves you, adore your body and make you feel good.

Jungkook moans as he pins you to the wall. His semi touches your abdomen and he flinches. He quickly plants his mouth on yours. You wrap your hand around his neck while you kiss him. Give him what he wants. You bite on his lower lip. Your tongues smoothly glide over each other's. You can't believe how gross you can be with him.

There's a hurried manner to his actions. He's desperate to get to touch you and pleasure you. But he wants to keep doing this too.

You wrap your legs around his waist. He grabs your hips tightly, with his fingers digging the flesh, he picks you up and carries you to the bedroom while your body is wrapped around him. Legs around his waist, arms around his neck, mouth not yet parted from his.

"You're sure you want it all?" He asks.

"I'm yours tonight." You answer him with full certainty. You want him to take over.

You sit on his lap while he kisses your neck and pulls your top up and throws it away. You fumble with his shirt buttons. The one piece of clothing that made you weak instantly. Shirts always make him look so much hotter. You can't express what it does to you when he wears fitted clothes. You wanted to say fuck it, sit right there on the floor of the art gallery and rub yourself to explosion. But you had to control yourself through out dinner too.

And now that you're finally home, you just can't wait. You trust him more than anyone. Have never loved anyone like this before. So intensely, so passionately. He's your soul mate, your future life partner. You know he's the one. And you know you're the one for him too.

He hisses when he can't unhook your bra. You help him out and he throws it away recklessly. You remove his shirt from his body. You hook your fingers on his belt and quickly unbuckle it. Your hand brushes his engorged cock and he slaps it away.

You know you have to stand to remove the remaining clothing. You quickly get up and almost fall while trying to get out of your skinny jeans. He hurriedly removes his pants too. You're both left in underwear.

He makes you lie down on the bed and pounces upon you. Just a touch of his thumb on your nipple makes you stretch your legs wide open for him. He grinds his crotch against yours. The fabric of your panties is thin and makes you so needy. He can feel your wetness seeping through his boxers.

As much as he wants to fuck you immediately, he decides to tease you and make you beg him for an orgasm.

He keeps touching your nipples, kisses your neck, his hand moves over your abdomen and you feel butterflies fluttering inside you. You hold a part of him inside you.

If you hadn't ever thought of having a baby and went to that clinic to get inseminated, you might have never met him. Your thoughts aligned so well. And he was so relieved that you were the one going to carry his child.

It started out with him just wanting to know if you got pregnant by his sperm. While you waited for results as your tests took longer to give results, you ended up falling for him irrevocably. You were so glad you decided to get pregnant with this man's sperm. You could see yourself having many more babies with him. You started dating and your love grew just as the baby inside you did.

You've started to feel like yourself again. You always knew you wanted this. But nobody was coming along for you. You couldn't see yourself carrying babies of the men that you met. You'd rather die childless then go through excruciating pain and give birth to their progeny as obnoxious as them.

But you weren't just going to relent so easily. You were financially stable now. As a government worker you didn't have to worry about losing your job. You would get benefits if you had a child alone. You were ready, so ready.

You're still pretty flat but you feel flutters inside your belly now. He plays with how you moan when he scratches your inner thigh just the right way.

"Please." You cry scratching his back with your nails. Everything becomes much more primal and urgent for him.

He quickly removes his boxers, tugs himself once then rolls your panties down. Your slick covered panties. You were completely covered in a mess of your juices.

He took his time, worshipping you. Kisses your jaw, then your neck, then moves lower to your chest. His tongue circles around your nipples until you're arching your back. Your hips rolled, thighs fell open, exposing how desperately wet you already are.

He spreads your thighs wide open and looks at you. Just looks. Swollen. Plump. Pretty.

He moves inside you. You gasp, startled by how much you feel. The fullness. The stretch. Your chest is heaving.

"Is that all of it?" You ask with your eyes closed.

"Almost," he answers.

"Oh god. You're making me feel so full." You bite your lower lip.

Without wasting time, he starts moving. Slowly to let you adjust. It didn't take long. Your body was already pulsing around him.

He begins moving deeper, harder. You keep your thighs held open. His hand slides between them to flick and circle your clit, just the way he knows you need.

You whimper. Every stroke of his hips pushing you closer. There was a subtle tight pressure low inside your belly. You didn't want to think. Didn't want to speak.

Obviously didn't want to stop while he was moving so fast, so sure of what feels good to her. He went in so fucking deep, so effortlessly. It was another level of penetration.

The pressure inside you swelled. Your body clung tighter to him. Your mouth opened as if to say something but you couldn't when he started thrusting even harder, as if his life depended on it.

You didn't want to stop him. He wouldn't. Not now. It was already too far gone. There was no use of stopping.

The pressure inside your pelvis is immense. His deep, rapid thrusts are slamming your G-spot, your bladder. Your whole body was jolting, it was all so chaotic.

You're arching, legs spread wide, unable to resist, unable to close off anything. Your moans are out of your control. Your body is shaking, trembling.

You could feel everything. Every wet slap of skin, every hungry thrust, the strain in your thighs, the rise and fall of your breasts.

His penis is pounding you at unimaginable pace. Your body explodes from the inside, it bursts out all at once. You scream out loud making Jungkook go still for a few seconds. Your body stopped resisting, stopped clenching and gave into the intensity of everything.

Your back archs, tears flow down your cheeks and his hand is wrapped so nicely around your neck, he quickly kisses your nipples.

You're pissing uncontrollably. A long stream sprays out of you and hits Jungkook's abdomen. His cock gets washed with it.

You try to clench and stop but it spurts out forcefully. You try again, pause for a moment and it squirts out again. It's a rhythmic gush, pulsing with every contraction.

It flows down while you cry, pools around your ass as you anticipate the flow stopping soon. But it doesn't. It feels so damn good. You don't want it to stop. You watch Jungkook smirk and hear him groan as you keep pissing.

You have never pissed like this before. You couldn't have imagined something as mundane as pissing held so much power to bring such unbearable pleasure to you.

Your orgasm keeps rippling through your body. Little spurts of pee trickle out with the aftershock making you moan out loud and pull Jungkook's hair.

You just exploded. Your hips, thighs and pussy completely soaked. Your clit twitches.

He starts pounding you again with the same intensity. A cry stuck in your throat. He doesn't slows down instead keeps fucking you fast, deep, determined.

You cry with your eyes closed as you feel another orgasm take over you. Your body is still clenching, pulsing, hasn't recovered from the first orgasm. No time to come down.

Relentless, body shaking orgasms wash over you again and again. Another one starts before you've even finished one. Your hips jerk, legs keep shaking uncontrollably.

You're crying from the intensity, from the overload of pleasure. Every sensation so much more intense due to your pregnancy.

He's holding your thighs open, still thrusting. Your wrists pinned above your head. He growls against your neck, breathes hard. You come again, your clit twitches.

You're completely emptied out. Nothing more to give anymore. Your belly is soaked, the sheets are wet, your skin is covered in sweat.

You lay limp, thighs soaked, legs spread, chest rising and falling with every breath. Quiet. Still. Wrecked.

He slows down.

The deep, hard pounding fades into possessive, unhurried strokes. He watches you trembling, undone and vulnerable beneath him.

With your fingers digging into his shoulders you ask, "You're still hard?" It felt like an eternity had passed for you.

He nods faintly. "You feel like heaven. I could stay inside forever."

You smile at him but it turns into a gasp as he thrusts a little deeper. He was deliberately drawing out the last moments.

You can feel him getting close. His breath shortens. His hips push deeper, slower, harder. Trying to chase something more than just release. Trying to assimilate into you.

You're completely surrendered just letting him use you to chase his pleasure. You had orgasmed so many times for countless minutes without a break.

And then with a low groan, he buries himself fully. You wait and to feel him fill you.

His body tenses and he spills into you. You feel the first spurt of hot, thick cum flood deep inside you. Then another. Then another.

His cock twitches as he empties himself. Doesn't pulls out. He stays there panting, forehead against yours, kisses your temple, your neck, between your breasts.

He pulls himself away slowly. Watches his cum dripping down between your folds. He kisses on top of your pussy. Lays beside you.

You close your eyes. Completely relaxed. Your body has been loved, used, wrecked.

A slow, lazy trickle slides out of you. It's not powerful but real. You barely register it. You don't clench, don't tense.

With his arm resting on your chest, his face pressed into your neck. He was almost asleep but was shook awaken by a sudden wetness. He was mortified. He just relaxed too hard. He didn't realise how long he hadn't gone for.

She looks at him with concern. He gets up to go to the bathroom.

"I think I just peed a little." He confesses. Chuckles.

And you murmur back, "It's okay, I might've too."

You stare at each other then burst out laughing.

sunday sessions.

a/n: basically just pulled this out of my ass lol. it's technically part of the stoner!reader universe but it can be read on its own.

summary: what began as a casual sunday afternoon with your boyfriend turns into something a bit more intense when rafe asks you a question.

word count: 1.5k

warnings: weed, making out (with an abrupt ending because I didn't feel like writing smut today haha), that's pretty much it

You’ve never quite been the sentimental type, but even you have to admit that an Outer Banks sunset is one of the most magical things you’ve ever witnessed. No matter where you are on the island—whether you’re at your home on the Cut or at a tourist-filled beach on Figure Eight—you consider it a privilege to have grown up surrounded by beautiful sights and enchanting views. 

And though you may be a Pogue, watching the sunset from Rafe Cameron’s porch swing certainly makes it better. Your legs lay across your annoyingly gorgeous boyfriend’s lap, as his own legs stick to the ground, slowly moving the swing back and forth. The shared joint passes between the both of you quite a few times. Rafe has a 70s beach playlist queued on his speaker with the volume relatively low, and you make relaxed conversation without feeling the pressure to fill up the empty spaces. When it gets quiet, it feels natural, not awkward.

You would be embarrassed about just how intently you’re staring at his side profile if you hadn’t witnessed him doing the same earlier. Every time you remember that you’re the only one who gets to admire him this way—and be admired the same in return—your heart clenches and your stomach twists in thrilling knots. He’s yours, and you’re his, and you don’t think any other feeling can really compare to that.

Or maybe that’s just the weed talking.

But you’re interrupted from your weed-induced thoughts when your boyfriend’s patterns of rubbing up and down your legs stop all of a sudden. His hands freeze, and he squeezes your calves as if to signal to you that he’s about to begin speaking.

Rafe has never been the best at expressing his words, but you partially enjoy the sparring that occurs whenever you’re trying to pull the right words out of him. Tonight, however, you’re much too relaxed to engage in that kind of flirty banter, so instead you just wait for him to come up with the words on his own, your gaze flickering back and forth between the sunlit freckles on his cheek to the way the sun sets over the water. 

“Did you know that we’ve never been on a date?” Rafe asks, and part of you is a bit shocked that those are the words he’s chosen to mutter. He’s never been the most romantic guy, and that’s part of why the two of you work so well, against all odds and expectations. Instead of well-organized grand gestures, your relationship has been built on mutual understanding, honesty, and the surprising ease with which the both of you have settled into each other’s lives. Though your relationship may remain a secret to Kooks and Pogues alike, the routines of your lives sync up rather neatly. When he’s at home, relaxing like he is now, you fit into his side so neatly. When you’re tired after a long shift at work, he fits perfectly in your bed, providing a calming respite from the annoyances of your day job. 

When you’re quiet and he doesn’t seem to think that you have anything to say in response, he continues. “Don’t you think we should go on one?”

And there’s something so cute about it, you have to refrain from giggling. “What would that even look like?”

“Well, we could go to the beach—”

“We do that all the time.”

“We could stay in and watch a movie.”

“We did that last night.”

“We could smoke a joint—”

“We’re literally doing that right now.” You can’t help but chuckle when he turns his head towards you with a scowl that is more playful than it is serious. 

“Do you not want to go on a date with me?” he asks, and your heart clenches at the realization that he might actually be considering your words a rejection. You scoot closer to him and your knees bend as though you’re practically laying on his lap, no longer simply resting your calves. 

“It’s not that, I promise,” you vow, leaning your head onto his shoulder.

His arms welcome you in, one of them coming up to draw slow circles on your back, his other coming to rest against your calves once again, squeezing them in order to convey his earnestness. 

“Then what is it?”

And now it’s your turn to get shy, because for a woman in your twenties who has had quite a few casual flings and more hookups than you feel like admitting, the truth about your dating history is a bit embarrassing. “Don’t make fun of me.”

Rafe looks a bit offended at the suggestion that he would, but with teasing being such a common part of your dynamic it shouldn’t be that surprising. “I would never,” he says, and you roll your eyes.

You look down at where his hand has now moved from your calves to your thighs, pulling you impossibly closer. You squish your face further into his neck, and he has to bite back a smile at just how cute you’re being.

“I’ve never actually been on a date,” you whisper out, and if his ear wasn’t right next to you, he probably wouldn’t have been able to make out the words you’ve just uttered.

“Never?” he asks, taken aback. You’re gorgeous, and he knows that you’ve had quite a few guys in your past (though he prefers not to think about that). “But you’ve been with so many—”

“Careful—”

His hands move to pull your head off from where you’ve sought solace in his neck, pulling your face right in front of his. “Hey, you know I’m the last person who can judge in that department.”

You let out a chuckle at his comment. His ability to bring levity to most conversations is one of the things you appreciate the most about him. 

Rafe’s deep blue eyes stare into yours, and you can’t help but feel your cheeks heat up at the closeness of the moment, both figuratively and literally. 

“C’mon, let me take you out on a real date. Like, to a restaurant. And if you don’t want to deal with our shitty friends—”

“Speak for yourself, I quite like my friends—” you interrupt, but he ignores you.

“Then we can go somewhere on the mainland. We can go next Sunday and make a day of it. Just you and me.”

You’re so happy that you’re not standing right now because the look of sincerity in his eyes would surely send you to your knees. He’s staring into your soul, beyond the walls he broke down without even having to try, and you feel seen. It’s cheesy and romantic and very unlike you, but you’re slowly trying to be more comfortable in situations like this. Both of you are. 

“I’ll plan it all, I promise,” he adds, even though he can tell he’s convinced you by the way your eyes glisten under the fading sunlight. 

“Nothing too fancy,” you say, and he nods. Both of you try to avoid talking about money, and you appreciate the fact that he doesn’t push. Though he loves to treat you any way he can, he knows that earning money and being able to spend it the way that you choose is a sense of pride for you. He would never want to do anything to wreck that. “And no hair gel.”

He sighs as if that’s a big hurdle for him, and you chuckle. “Fine. I’ll pick you up in the morning so we can make the ferry,” he adds.

“Then I guess we’re going on a date,” you say, and he practically swoons at how adorable you’re being. It’s rare that anyone gets to see you so vulnerable, so unencumbered, and he considers it the privilege of a lifetime to be able to witness it. God, I hope I don’t fuck this up, he thinks to himself. 

Rafe leans forward, pressing his lips gently against yours, and your hands grab onto his shirt in anticipation of what comes next. As always with Rafe, the kiss heats up quickly, and his tongue flickers over yours, almost begging. You slowly open your mouth against his, letting him in, before rearranging yourself over his lap. You straddle him as your mouths move faster and messier against one another, and his hands come up to rest on your waist, gripping you possessively.

The weed heightens every motion, every flick of his tongue. His hands move hurriedly up and down your body, and you somehow feel him everywhere at once. Rafe’s stubby fingernails press even harder against you, pushing you down onto his lap, and your hips grind down over his own. What started as a kiss in celebration of your emotional vulnerability has quickly transpired into something hotter and sweatier, something you really shouldn’t be doing on the porch where his neighbors can see. But maybe due to the weed or maybe due to the shared adoration you have for one another, you feel shameless, as the two of you truly couldn’t be bothered to care.

so... what did we think?? I want to write more for these two so if you have any ideas/requests please send 'em to my inbox <3

[ducky-dawn47]

so we’ve seen in detail what Dònglì Chéngzhǎng are like but we don’t know what Heats and Ruts are like just out of curiosity what are they like?

totallymightnotusethisinfoforfanfictionpurposes

Sorry for the wait! Had to get a couple things in order before I could answer this.

Alright, ducklings! You know the drill! Single file line below the cut please!! (Mature Warning)

Ok, SO-

A smidgen more background into a Dònglì Chéngzhǎng before we start-

Everyone, regardless of sex, experiences at least 1 heat in their lives due to the DC, think of it as Nuwa's lesson in Empathy and Gender Equality.

All XY and masculine leaning intersex people will have to feel exactly what the XX and feminine leaning intersex people go through at least once.

Because I'm hilarious.

Also, Ruts and Heats are exclusive to Demons! Because their evolution closely follows their mortal counterparts, they're the only ones who go through a Heat or Rut or Breeding Season like a non-demonic animal.

Dragons do have a breeding Season, but it's once every 500 years as opposed to a seasonal affair like others.

Now, onto the differences!

Ruts;

What a Male, XY, or Masculine leaning intersex Demonic person will go through based on their animal ancestry! It will obviously differ for an Avian, Reptilian, or Aquatic demon, but we will use Mammalian Demons for our example, as most Demons are mammals.

A demon going through a Rut will experience the following;

Fever

Heightened sense of smell

Heightened strength

Weakened problem solving/ unable to fully comprehend consequences for actions = a lil stupidity, does not apply to consent. Everyone, no matter what, is fully capable of comprehending consent and have the ability to react appropriately to rejection or acceptance to their advances.

The almost extreme need to breed (obviously) or just have sex. If the person or couple isn't ready for children, basic or magical contraceptive measures can be taken to avoid a pregnancy, but their brain is essentially giving their rut-smothered self an almost subconscious breeding kink. Whether or not they actually want kids lol.

Increased Stamina

Decreased "rebound" time

Will experience more animalistic behaviors based on their mortal counterpart, like how Mk behaved like a full Monkey during his DC.

Increased protectiveness of chosen partner or mate

Will experience the need to comfort, assist, clean and maintain their partner, regardless of the sex/gender of said partner. Their Rut is telling them "partner needs to be safe, comfy and healthy to have strong babies" so they want to make sure that happens.

And thats about it for Ruts! Now onto

Heats;

What a Female, XX, or Feminine leaning intersex Demon will go through!

A demon going through a Heat will experience the following;

Fever

Weakened strength

Weakened sense of smell

Weakened problem solving

Heightened emotions

Extreme need to breed

Genuine pain or cramps if went too long without some kind of "releif"

Increased stamina

Decreased "rebound" time

Animalistic behaviors

Their natural smell becomes a sort of aphrodisiac to their mate or chosen partner, to assist them in relieving the pain and fulfilling the heat-made need for sex.

The need to remind their mate or chosen partner to take breaks and eat or drink after a while. While they're a little unable to truly take care of themselves and their partner like someone going through a Rut, they still have a sort of internal timer to tell them that "Oh yeah food and water is kinda also required like sex is". It's a partnership thing lol. Also regardless of partner's gender or sex.

And that's about it for them both! Again so sorry this took forever to answer haha. Thanks for the question!!

[y-elleven]

ven does your bunny have some form of religious guilt like yukimiya? is that why he wont fuck?

hi nonnie!! this is a vv good question, had to sit down n think for a bit so i can give you a proper answer besides "just vibes" haha

while i do believe both characters are religious (of the catholic flavor in my hcs), i think they have very different attitudes towards their faith. i'll talk about yukimiya in another post if u want, but for now i'll focus on bunny!!

without delving too deep into his past (which we know nothing about at this point in time), i think bunny was born and raised catholic but considers himself non-practicing to a degree. his relationship with faith is kinda strained tbh and there are other things he'd rather focus on, so he doesn't feel anything particularly strong about it. that's all i'll say on that until we get more info, sorry <(＿　＿ ;)>

bunny abstains from sleeping with you not because of any religious guilt, it's purely psychological. i'd even go so far as to say his libido is really low, and he might even be sex repulsed to an extent because he finds the act way too intimate. even hookups and flings are too much of a risk for him. he doesn't want to deal with someone imposing their feelings unto him, even if it's purely lustful. strings are still strings no matter the source. wanting him for his heart and wanting him for his body are the same thing to bunny. he doesn't want messy expectations. he just wants someone there

so when you first walk into his life, he doesn't expect much. just keeps you at a distance like he does with everyone else, content to float by and find his fix of company without crossing his own boundaries and making himself sick. there's a lot of inner conflict about that; he doesn't want people getting close but readily welcomes conversation and company even from strangers, so long as they fit within his terms. he's charismatic enough that he can make a light and easy exit when his skin starts to crawl, like his body is starting to scream at him to get away, but sometimes that mask of his slips when that discomfort turns into a chill he can feel in every joint and knob in his spine. the more emotional he gets, the more careless he becomes. a man like him can only have so much control over his public mask, after all. he's not made of stone. he's just as human as you, no matter how much he likes to distance himself from the idea

i've already sorta described what i think reader's dynamic with bunny + his feelings about it would be like here, but just to clarify: him not having sex with you is not the same as him not wanting to have sex with you. (quick note: even though i've described him as sex repulsed w/ a low libido, i don't hc him as asexual!) his refusal to fuck you is more of a self-preservation thing and less of a genuine lack of interest. actually, i think the more you break his walls down and start becoming a more solid figure in his life (someone present, someone he'd look for in any crowd he thinks you'd be in, even if you weren't even there at all), he starts wanting more than just your easy company. and it gets on every last one of his nerves

but he's a greedy guy. bunny's pretty easygoing, sure, but when it comes to you, he wants and wants and wants, and it only gets worse the closer you two get. but there are certain lines he won't cross (even though he's already gone beyond so many in his attempts to keep you in his life, if only for just a few meetings more) and sex is one of them. if one day you end up asking for it, just know that refusing you would feel just like reopening the wound he sees every day in the mirror

conclusion: bunny won't fuck you, even if you ask nicely. it's as much for your own sake as it's for his

[bromomentum]

omg WAIT SARI IS MEGS AND STARSCREAMS KID OMG WAAAAA

also i’m sorry for not saying anything sooner but i really love your au!!!!! 💕💘💖💓💞🌸✨💕💘✨🌸💓✨ i rly like the jettwins and don’t feel like they get enough attention so ty for,, existing ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

That being said, I would love to give a suggestion! (constructive criticism? Though oh god unsolicited advice is such a major rudeness action, but plz hear me out i speak with only affection i promise) (absolutely no pressure though because this is your art thru and thru/gen)

Have you ever considered a different endgame pairing for either of the twins than both of them with bee? i ask because your portrayal of them as individuals with complicated lives is so peak fiction and i feel a lot of love put into it!💕💞✨💓💖! but i also feel that the idea of twins sharing a romantic partner is a bit,, grody? Or, ‘fetishistic’ if i wanna pull out the fancy talk (о´∀`о) sorry

The fetishization of twins is a really pervasive concept in media; like, an individual being ‘shared by’ them, or ‘joining in’ on certain activities. Like, if you know The Hitachin Twins from OHSHC; they put on an act for the perspective of an outside viewer. One who, without, the acting wouldn’t exist, so the lens, a third presence, is a key player not as themselves but as the means through which the fetishization is perpetrated. One can’t really have a character involved with two family members at the same time without invoking some,, uncomfortable ideas? That makes it really hard to believe this concept is well intentioned towardsss,, siblings?

And if that made absolutely no sense, lemme try again haha-- It feels, for lack of a better word, dehumanizing and a bit gross (<- Apologies for using so many words to say “it gives my stomach the heebie jeebie rumblies” lol)

It sucks that the portrayals I mentioned earlier is all too commonly accepted in pop culture which is why it’s quite easily accepted. But it’s good to question things! I like questioning things and I hope you find value in it too

& finally, please don’t take this as hate!! honestly, i wouldn’t bring this up if i didn’t love your au so much, i spent a bit debating whether to type this (о´∀`о)

But basically; does any of what i’m saying make sense? ε-(´∀｀; ) lol. And if so, are you interested in pursuing any alternative ships for the jettwins? (i’m autistic and so bad at being nonchalant- I WOULD LOVE YOU 5EVER IF YOU ARE *cough cough cough* who said that, omg)

And! Thank you for reading this far and hearing me out!!! Like I mentioned, I genuinely love how you flesh them out as individuals and a family of two <3 i wish you all the best ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

also!! i have a few ideas for what you could do instead if you’d like and if it wouldn’t be overstepping!!/nf/gen

HIIIIII HELLO HIIII Regarding the thing about the love corner of the twins + Bee, and the whole icky aspect to it...Yeah, i agree with you, and i've been thinking about it for a while. Ngl, i didn't think that ship through as much as i think i should have when i first started this AU, which was when i was in my last year of high school (damn, this shit old). And now that i look at my frist posts regarding it, i don't really think it adds anything of value, other than easy drama for the sake of ship shenanigans that i thought were funny before, but now don't really resonate with what i want to do with this story. (Not to mention ew, bro )That's why i've settled mostly with Bee + Jetfire, since i liked that option better; i believe they match more in this scenario. As for if i have in mind any other endgame pairing for them, other than either of them ending with Bee; not really, and i don't think that's a problem, actually? I want to focus more on the family aspect, like them re-bonding with their parents, how they view their old caretakers after the reunion, how they deal with these emotions both internally and with each other. Don't think there's much space to add a romantic plot over there. Not saying i wouldn't like it either, i'm a sucker for romance! But maybe it would be too much on my plate to develop properly at the same time lol. They're also not the only ones that i initially planned to get romantically involved; there's OP and Blackarachnia over there waiting, and now the whole thing with Magnus and Sky that i intend to dig deeper in jssjsjs So in a nutshell: i don't have anything romantic planned for them rn, at least nothing serious. But i'm open for any possible outcome (that won't mess up the story, that is lol) Really appreciate the constructive criticism! I feel like i needed to discuss this subject eventually, but i didn't know the proper way to bring it up, so it was of great help. Thank you for your support and kind words, and don't be afraid to send me asks or dms of any ideas you might have, if that's what you want <3

Cornelia Archer's BC

Episode 1: Our Song Is The Way You Laugh

Our 10 contestants have arrived at a luxurious island mansion (Tropical House by JadedSidhe) ready to meet the bachelorette and have the summer of their lives! (finally, after all these years)

L-R: Lucy Starr by @vintageplumbobs Laura Oak by @poisonfireleafs Carson Lake by @dragonplumbobs Aella Wonders by @cloudberry-sims Ivalace Goldchild by @tosimornottosim Sara Nix by @arogaba Lara Mooney by @berriespunches Kitty Lloyd by @blurrypxls Lilian Pendragon by @bellakenobi Laken Dahl by @kithlien

This will also be the official order of the contestants for the interviews and stuff!

Note: I changed a few hairstyles and makeup items because I couldn't find the original ones but I tried my best to keep it close to the original ones.

Keep in mind, with this format of the BC, I won't tag the eliminated sim's creator to avoid spoilers for them (and tagging everyone every episode would make me feel like I'm annoying lol), so to the creators - stay tuned if you want to know the fate of your sim! I hope that now, once I got the ball rolling, the updates will be semi-regular at least, so pop by now and then. I'm hoping to do at least one episode per week.

At long last, the star of the show herself appears in a lovely laid-back country-style look!

Cornelia: Hello and welcome! The production took forever and it felt like three years to me, but finally we're all here. Gosh, I'm so excited! I read up on every single one of you! And I can't wait to get to know you and, who knows, maybe find my lover!

Contestants: *cheer*

Cornelia: Now, on a more serious note - how it's gonna work. Our first two days will just be us getting to know each other and hanging out, I'll conduct little interviews with you where I'll initiate a chat and then let you take the lead, and the proper challenges will begin starting from the next episode. Don't worry about elimination yet, just have fun!

Contestants: *cheer even louder*

Lucy was the first one to talk to Cornelia!

Cornelia: Lucy! Our very first contestant, artsy and adventurous.

Lucy: Yes! I love everything that inspires me. You being, of course, one of the things that does. *wink*

Cornelia, flustered: Hehe, same here. I also read that you're studying to be a biologist and love animals! Just like me!

Lucy: Oh, really? Do you have pets?

Cornelia: Yes, I have cats. I feel so guilty about leaving them, but at least they're with my family, and I'm constantly getting updates on them. I couldn't even imagine my life without them!

Lucy got a chat + an autonomous Get to Know! Their current score is 4.69.

Laura was next! (with Lucy still standing there and Lilian keeping a close eye)

Cornelia: Laura, your bio said that you grew up in Aurora Skies! How's the northern lights?

Laura: Oh, they're beautiful! And yes, even though I was born in Bridgeport, I consider Aurora Skies my home. Have you ever been there?

Cornelia: Just once, it was a tour stop with my band. But I haven't really seen much outside of performing at the venue. I hope I can come back one day and you'll be my guide!

Laura: You know, I figured you were a musician.

Cornelia: Haha, so you do have a good eye for details!

Laura got a chat and unfortunately didn't initiate the autonomous interaction but she'll have plenty of chances to talk to Cornelia in the future. Her current score is 2.60.

Meanwhile Lilian already managed to have romantic chemistry with both Laura and Lara! The Ls stick together.

(a little stat, we have 5 contestants whose name starts with an L, so a half of them, and also it amuses me that we have Lara, Sara and Laura)

Cornelia: Here comes Carson! I was excited to meet you, as it said you were quite experienced in ballet and playing piano.

Carson: I'm super happy to meet you too! I love nerding out with other musicians, so I hope we'll have more opportunities to talk. Yes, I'm currently pursuing a career in ballet.

Cornelia: That's amazing! I hope to attend one of your shows.

Carson: You're officially invited! Ballet is my life, honestly. At one point, it was a bit of a challenge because I started to lose my hearing and was worried about it affecting my career, but the hearing aid helps me greatly.

Cornelia: I'm really happy you managed your dream to come true after all.

Carson got a chat and then another autonomous chat! His score is 4.69.

Aella, who's supposed to go next, is playing online chess, Lara is getting a drink and Sara is just staring out the window.

Cornelia: Hi, Aella! You have the coolest hair colour ever. I'm even a little jealous.

Aella: Thank you! I'm a redhead through and through. Would you believe me if I said I even had an orange cat at home?

Cornelia: No way. You do have a very "orange cat owner" energy.

Aella: Someday I'd like to also adopt a raven. Or an owl. Then I'd feel like a proper witch. God, I'm so obsessed with supernaturals! I've met witches and fairies and some mermaids too, and they're the coolest people ever.

Cornelia: *winks* What if I was secretly a werewolf?

Aella: Oh, I'd absolutely freak out. In a good way.

Aella got a chat and then did a shaka bra with Cornelia! Now her score is 5.21.

I had a random idea before of Cornelia being a werewolf but it went nowhere so I'm referencing it here for no reason

Ivalace, who's been sitting outside the entire time away from the commotion and mentally preparing for the interview, is next.

Cornelia: Ivalace, great to meet you! So you're a botanist.

Ivalace: Yes! That's my passion! To be honest, being on an island is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I'm quite curious about the local flora.

Cornelia: I can't wait for you to tell me all about your plants! I don't know much about them, but I love when people are passionate about something. It's infectious.

Ivalace: I know right! The whole way here I've wanted you to tell me about your music as well!

Cornelia: Oh, I'd love to! We can just ramble at each other forever then!

Ivalace got a chat and then Cornelia wanted to get to know her. She stands at 5.21.

Cornelia: Hi, Sara! So elegant and proper.

Sara: You'll be surprised how chatty I am once you get to know me! You know, I'm super into music and poetry.

Cornelia: Oh yeah? I'm a singer-songwriter! Meeting my peers is everything to me.

Sara: We can absolutely have more chats about it! Although, something's lacking in my creative life right now. Maybe it's an absence of a lover I can dedicate all my works to.

Cornelia: No way, you read my thoughts! I often imagine how much richer and more meaningful my songs would be if I had a muse.

Sara, just like Ivalace previously, got a chat and then Cornelia wanted to get to know her. Her score is 4.69.

Cornelia: Lara! You look fabulous!

Lara: Oh, thank you, thank you, Cornelia! I can't believe it's finally my moment to shine. I couldn't do that awful 9 to 5 anymore!

Cornelia: And now you don't have to! Well, at least temporarily.

Lara: I hope I'll make some good connections here to quit for good. My ultimate dream is to be a CEO! And I really admire you, Cornelia. Like, you're one of the people I'm inspired by. You've already built such a brand for yourself!

Cornelia: Aww, I'm flattered to be that for you.

Lara: But do not think this is all that matters to me. I'm actually quite a softie. I have a weakness for animals! I'd rescue them all!

Lara managed to get two chats in a row. After that, she's at 3.28.

Cornelia: Hey, Kitty! You look like someone who'd throw some good sing-along parties for us here.

Kitty: Oh my god, on the way here I was literally thinking of doing a karaoke evening! You read my mind, Cornelia. I'm impressed.

Cornelia: Great minds think alike. So you're also an illustrator?

Kitty: Kind of, if you can say so. I write stories and illustrate them sometimes. But it's quite hard to break through nowadays and gain new readers.

Cornelia: I feel you, but with music. I always want to bring my music to the new audiences, but it's not an easy task!

Kitty got a chat and a get to know from Cornelia, so now she stands at 7.82.

Cornelia: Lilian! Oh, I can absolutely tell you're a music girl like me. I mean, quite a few people here are, but you just immediately radiate this energy.

Lilian: Yes! My niche is rock, but I also write my own songs, so we could definitely learn a bit from each other.

Cornelia: That sounds amazing, what are your songs usually about?

Lilian: Would it surprise you if I said I already wrote a song about you?

Cornelia: Oh! Really? *blushes* I absolutely can't wait to hear it. I write songs about many people in my life, but I don't think anyone has ever written one about me. I will probably be a smiling mess!

Lilian chatted with Cornelia and then Cornelia shared a secret with her. Her score stands at 5.21.

Cornelia: And finally, Laken! Your bio said that joining a BC is something quite crazy for you.

Laken: Yeah, I've never imagined I could do that. I've always been a very diligent student and workaholic, and this was all I focused on. Until some events in my life happened that led me to a bit of a dark place, and eventually I realised I just have to let myself live a little and figure out what exactly I'm living for.

Cornelia: Well, you have me, and everyone here. Maybe this will be a little respite for you.

Laken: My best friend Claire said the same thing! By the way, I can also credit her for my style. It used to be way more basic.

Cornelia: No way! Even when I first saw you, it caught my eye how colourful and funky your style was.

Laken got a chat and a shaka bra, and her current score stands at 5.21.

At long last, all the initial interviews are over!

Cornelia: They're all so great! How do I even eliminate anyone? I guess I need to focus and follow my heart.

Laken, Lilian, Kitty and Carson got an extra perk - a chat from Cornelia, because these four were the ones who had a "I want to get to know you better" pop-up when I added her to the household.

Let the day of the autonomous chats begin! This is to give everyone a fair chance no matter how they did in the first interview.

How it works: I set the low social need for Cornelia and everyone else and she immediately started autonomously coming up to people and talking to them.

She managed to talk a bit to almost everyone, so the scores shuffled around a bit!

In the end, Cornelia decided to decompress a bit by playing video games.

Cornelia: This was a long two days... But I think I got the feel of who's who. It's so early to say who I feel something for. Well, the challenges officially begin tomorrow, and I'll have some more moments with them, and maybe it will be crucial in me deciding who to say goodbye to. But I'm not gonna lie, this still stresses me out. Oh, how I wish I was fearless...

End Episode 1.

Standings:

Laken - 15,43 Aella - 13,04 Laura - 12,51 Sara - 11,48 Kitty - 10,43 Lilian - 7,82 Carson - 7,30 Ivalace - 7,29 Lucy - 4,69 Lara - 3,28

A/N: Thank you everyone for reading! Woo, I finally got this out! Fingers crossed it will be easier for me to put out episodes from now on. It's the drafting them that is the tedious part, but I think the next chapters won't have long dialogues like this one, I just wanted to pay some homage to the contestant bios and give them some spotlight so you can hopefully choose ones to root for. Well, until next time!

[normystical]

hey hey hey no worries! it's not dms, its a different format, so it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and even if it was dms, i wouldnt mind. you take your time, really, its fine ^^

OH ALSO. cutting this off again. cuz someone reblogged our conversation so now im getting a bit anxious and i feel that i HAVE to clarify now in case it happens again lmao </3

OO wait wait i know a platonic cross ship!! in this server im in there was someone named moonie or whatever who was obsessssed with radioparfait. thats alastor and parfait cookie crk being friends. ITS SOO CUUTE,, EDGELORD AND CUTESY GAL,, I GOT ATTACHED TO THEM AS WELL EHEHE

yeahh its. well idk. people seem to include arospec stuff a lot but like. ONLY when theyre excusing shipping characters. which is kind of weird but ok. but yeah nobody outright confirmed huh?

also now that you mention representation of allos in the context of the split attraction model... allos can use that too, which im guesisng you already know? but shockingly a lot dont, and im mildly annoyed by that ig? i think itd make for good representation and stuff. could be fun to work with. i have a bi lesbian oc, specifically homoromantic and bisexual in particular. idk i just think more headcanons like that would be cool. but the closest i literally EVER get is seeing someone use, for instance, the pan flag and the poly flag, and i say oh cool so theyre varioriented? and theyre like oh whoops haha no i just meant polyamorous damn wrong flag. gahhh. i made a "your fave is varioriented" sorta blog to try and normalize it but most of the submissions are apsec stuff. which is fine, of course, but it frustrates me bc of what the whole initial purpose of the thing was yk,,

and BOY are people weird about the morality of that stuff. yk. inherently morally neutral stuff. but whats the weirdest is sex bc its both required but also bad??? and sex without romance is just out of the question,, some stories arent exactly arophobic but FEEL that way bc of the message. like helluva boss. idc what anyone says, m&m were the assholes at ozzie's. imagine being a romance-repulsed horndog at the place and having to listen to a cheesy love song out of nowhere,, also not to mention the stuff with blitz and all. but whatever i guess. im just glad theres like ONE webcomic where it was RESPECTED that the character "wasnt a relationship person" as she put it. i hardcore believe shes aroallo even if its not outright confirmed. hattie from live with yourself! btw. i love her

WOOF ok thats a lot of text aushsh sorry. i warned you though;; MOVING ON

yeahh i guess i sometimes try to rush a bit. though i suppose its no big deal. still, its kind of hard to decide how characters feel about each other, i suppose? based on their personalities and stuff? or maybe i just use a different method to decide,, idk

WOAH theres a makeship plush of a character?? was not aware,, but yeahh i played it when i was young too ^_^ theres sooo many more islands now, the layout of the menu where you choose which island to go to is different now,, but yeahh auglur is so gorgeous,, im also fond of strombonin but auglur is probably the most objectively pretty. i also drew them once ehe,, as part of a ship thing i fear. but that ship was part of a hashtag relatable aromantic moment so it could probably be worth it if i share it. if you wanted to see?

edit: "i wanted you though" instead of warned?? catastrophic typo i fear

i ddont go here and by "i dont go here" i mean "i do pretty much go here but somehow i dont feel a close connection to this fandom whatever dont question it man" but i saw you discuss the skins and i saw someone sent this in a server im in. which is rad af

...aaaand am just now realizing that its possible its not canon tho. but like. if it is. well damn /pos

woauh hi new mutual!!! i was gonnnaaaa say it isnt canon HOWEVER ! I looked more into it and apparently it is?? i thought it was an edit at first but when she's hit she makes that face :] (since you only half go here im gonna assume you doooo know how the game works? in case not ummm. horror survival thing. you can get hit, characters make different faces when hit.) anywho thank you for the ask i would not have known this if you didnt say anything :0!

Does anybody have pages 5-8 or 19-21 of pancaketiffy's Nautical Disaster anywhere? And does anyone know if the comic was ever continued past page 23? I wanna see if I can archive it somehow.

UPDATE: Did some more digging and found pages 19-21 (though two pages are labeled as page 21, which seems like an accident but they are two different pages, I'll have them listed in order,) as well as a 24th page. My guess is that that was the last page that was publicly released, but again, if anyone knows about pages past this point let me know.

So now all I need to find are pages 5-8, and any possible pages after 24.

UPDATE 2: Found page 7, so that leaves pages 5 and 8.

UPDATE 3: Alright, someone has graciously found the rest of the pages for me, I think this is it. Page 8 is under the Read More, couldn't find a specific reblog for it. I'll have another big update regarding some Pancaketiffy stuff later.

Pages I currently have:

Page 1 -- Page 2 -- Page 3 -- Page 4 -- Page 5 -- Page 6 -- Page 7 -- Page 8 (under Read More) -- Page 9 -- Page 10 -- Page 11 -- Page 12 -- Page 13 -- Page 14 -- Page 15 -- Page 16 -- Page 17 -- Page 18 -- Page 19 -- Page 20 -- Page 21 -- Page 21 (b) -- Page 22 -- Page 23 -- Page 24

Did they learn their profession from the guildship, on their own, from a friend/family member? for Yulan!

Mix of these! He learned some basic skills in foraging, weaponmaking and mending back in his home village - including his still horrible cooking. Most of it was basic life skills stuff, like finding food and firewood on the mountainside, fixing broken gear or making arrows for his bow, but it eventually got him interested in whatever their village smith was doing. Not that she ever got to teach him much, as Yulan was soon taken as a woodwarder apparentice and had to leave the village.

When he later left the mountain and travelled Othard, he ended up staying in the bigger cities for few years, learning what he could from their craftsmen before moving on to next city. It was only after he made the trip to Eorzea that he finally got a formal, more long term apparenticeship under the Ul'dah goldsmith guild.

That's where he's been the past 25-ish years - offically he's still their employee, even if he has his own workshop nowadays and mostly chooses what jobs he wants to take. After running out of mentors to teach him within the guild, he took to studying any and all goldsmithing related records and books, eventually starting his own research into intricacies of mammet making.

So short form would be family/friend > guilds > more guilds but this time permanent position > his own research and experiments.

boyfriend! satoru with a reader who struggles with an eating disorder and body image issues.

boyfriend! satoru who, before finding out, steals your food all the time. it's intended to be silly. “ooo, haha, we're sharing food that was supposed to just be for you!” is essentially what he thinks; he unintentionally stays ignorant to how he's the only one eating, how he's the one who finishes the whole plate of food, not both of you.

boyfriend! satoru who, before finding out, pokes your stomach a lot. it's mindless, like a habit. he doesn't notice how badly it affects your vision of yourself. he doesn't see how you stare at your naked body in the mirror and remember how he poked your stomach; “does he not like my body? is this his way of saying i look fat?” you think to yourself as tears bead up on your waterline.

boyfriend! satoru who finds out by pure accident. you were in the bedroom, on a phone call with a girl friend of yours, and somehow your eating disorder came up as a topic. you didn't think he'd hear, he was all the way in the living room, after all. but what you didn't know was that he'd started to miss your presence and went to your shared bedroom to relieve the ache, only to hear what you and your friend were talking about.

boyfriend! satoru who starts picking up on all the signs he neglected to notice before, such as you never wearing certain clothes he bought you if you deemed it ‘too revealing’, your stomach growling at the most random of times, when you would poke at your own stomach and frown, how you'd always hug a pillow to your stomach when you're sitting in bed or on the couch, eating slowly, never scolding him for stealing your food, skipping meals by ‘accident’, always ‘not hungry’, ect.

boyfriend! satoru who feels so ashamed for not noticing beforehand, because how could he not? the signs were there, he just wasn't looking hard enough.

boyfriend! satoru who has no clue how to bring it up after that. because, realistically, how would he? “hey, babe! the other day i heard you telling your friend about how you hate your body and have an eating disorder, wanna unpack that?” no, that sounds intrusive and insensitive.

boyfriend! satoru who, instead, tries to do little acts to try and get you to like your body without directly bringing it up.

boyfriend! satoru who litters little kisses all over your tummy right before bed. it turns into a nightly routine.

boyfriend! satoru who rubs your stomach whenever he's spooning you from behind while kissing your shoulder every now and then.

boyfriend! satoru who murmurs soft: “you're so pretty”'s, and “such a beautiful body”'s every time the two of you get sexually intimate.

boyfriend! satoru whose new favorite position is missionary, because it means he can watch your face heat up while he tells you how gorgeous your body is.

boyfriend! satoru who stops stealing your food.

boyfriend! satoru who starts cooking homemade meals for you. he makes a mental list of all your favorite foods alongside a list of foods your friends have said you liked and gets to work. he knows you're more likely to eat it if you know he made it, rather than if it's just an instant can of nothingness like normally.

boyfriend! satoru who watches your plate whenever the two of you eat together. it isn't an intense stare, just looking down at it every now and then, smiling a little whenever he sees you actually eating.

boyfriend! satoru who realizes it's working when all the tiny things you used to do stop happening. you eat at a regular pace now, you slap his hand when he steals your food, you tell him when you're hungry, you eat three meals a day, you wear all the clothes he buys you, you stop hiding your stomach, you're happier.

boyfriend! satoru who is ecstatic to have you feeling happy with yourself again. he thinks you're so pretty, you deserve to feel that way just as much as he does.

bumble and anessa could have some side lesbianism going on if they weren't so focused on revenge and killing

Unfortunately... I match tones and themes with people without realizing and understanding.

You're flirty with me? OK I'm doing it back... (and then I'm suprised when things escalate)
