kiyora jin: boyfriend headcanons

BLUE LOCK M.LIST | reblogs are appreciated! | enjoy !! - aria :3

a.n - I actually am in love with kiyora jin (potential self ship ngl), enjoy this dump of kiyora brain rot. no explicit warnings.

pre-boyfriend!kiyora who sees this all as one big challenge. how long can he tease and flirt with you before one of you eventually caves. he loves the exhilaration of the chase, loves the way it keeps him on his toes and makes his heart flutter. he relishes in the butterflies that swarm around his stomach when he’s with you, and can’t help but be amused by his own nervous flirtatious ramblings.

pre-boyfriend!kiyora who takes in your personality and interests like a god damn sponge. he analyzes you, but he sees it as a bit of a game, like how excited can he get you while sparking up a conversation about your interests. he also does a quick fact check on you to ensure you can find some sort of interest in the stuff he likes as well. would take you some speakeasy underground dance studio so you can cheer him on lol.

pre-boyfriend!kiyora who doesn’t say his feelings outright but definitely isn’t afraid to show you how he feels in other ways. specifically physical touch, quality time, and more-than casual flirting. he’d wrap his arm around you, grad your hand to drag you places, let you take up his free time outside of practice, give you sweet compliments at every chance he gets.

pre-boyfriend!kiyora who eventually finds himself hanging over the edge of insanity every time he thinks about how he can’t call you his. the confession would be swift and almost nonchalant. he’s proud of his feelings for you and doesn’t feel the need to act shy about it once he’s ready. when you say yes he can’t help the smile that creeps across his face which he quickly tries to scrunch up so he isn’t cheesing at you like a dork.

boyfriend!kiyora who has an endless list of hidden gems and secluded spots that he takes you to regularly, places where you can both be alone and enjoy each others presence. he loves any date that involves food, likes going to food festivals and trying all the different food stands. definitely tries to feed you stuff and doesn’t see the problem if you tell him it might look a little weird to other people lol. “Whatever just try it, open up~” he’d scoff at you playfully.

boyfriend!kiyora who loves taking candid pictures of you! he has two separate albums in his phone, one for you looking stupid and one for you looking gorgeous. sometimes his cover is blown by the camera shutter sound from his phone and he has to quickly shove it back in his pocket, looking around like he very obviously was doing something sneaky.

boyfriend!kiyora who dedicates everything to you. if he scores a goal during a game, he looks over to you in the crowed, putting his hand up and pointing at you with a smile as he runs back into position. he makes playlists for you, (attempts to) make you food and desserts.

boyfriend!kiyora who makes silly little stick figure drawings of you two on restaurant napkins when you go out to eat. sometimes he leaves you little notes that he wrote on the back of random pieces of paper he came across, he’s a crafty boy lol.

boyfriend!kiyora who gets jealous rather easily but doesn’t outwardly act possessive about it. he tends to keep those feelings to himself, but if some other guy is really all over you he’d just thrust himself into the situation as aggressively as possible until they get the hint that you’re taken. overall, he trusts you so at the end of the day he knows he has no need to worry!

boyfriend!kiyora who secretly loves being the little spoon. having your arms around him makes him feel so special it warms his heart in a way he can’t describe. he lays his head down on your chest or in your lap whenever you guys are on the couch or in bed together. he loves holding you too but he'll take any chance he can get to be engulfed in your embrace.

[mcytfanfictionappreciationweek]

Runs from January 21st to January 27th, 2024

7 days of fanfiction appreciation for all our fandom writers!

Everyone from all corners of MCYTblr are welcome to participate. No matter how large or small your favorite SMP or creator is, there is a space for everyone.

Many fandom events focus on providing tasks for artists and writers, but very little are made with the people who enjoy and appreciate that work in mind as participants. Lurkers and enjoyers and love posters are just as important to the fandom, so this is a space for us to do our thing and spread the love 💗

How to Participate

There will be 3 kinds of planned activities hosted on this blog, but there is no single correct way to participate, as long you’re uplifting others. The activities and prompts are meant to be a guideline and source of inspiration. You don’t have to burn yourself out by participating every day or in every activity.

Keep this space positive and abide by standard fandom etiquette. Be mindful of tags and if you don’t think you’ll like a work, don’t click and read it!

Share the love; one goal of this challenge is to help authors who’ve been overlooked feel appreciated for their contribution to the fandom. If you’re up to it, try and use this challenge as a way to break from your comfort zone and uplift others who you haven’t seen get any attention yet.

Note: This doesn’t mean to not send love to any ‘bigger authors’ whose work you admire, and we are not entertaining any discourse related to the size of one’s following.

Use the tag ‘mcytfanficappreciationweek’ for your recommendation lists related to this event and we will reblog them here!

Activities

(Under the cut!)

Reading and Recommendation Challenge

Find a fic that fits the theme of the day and give it a read/comment! Then if you’re up for it, share the recommendation in a post on tumblr and use the event tag. You can make individual posts for each day, or create a wrap-up at the end of the week.

It is both allowed and encouraged to engage with fics whose authors don’t have any linked social media presence. This is not exclusive to authors on tumblr.

January 21st (Day 1: Something New)

Read and comment on a fic written by an author whose work you’ve never commented on before

January 22nd (Day 2: Hidden Gems)

Read and comment on a fic that currently has no comments

Or, feel free to share and recommend a fic whose only comment is your own

January 23rd (Day 3: Underrated Blorbos)

Read and comment on a fic centered on a character of whom you’ve never read as a main POV (the less fics the character is tagged in, the better!)

January 24th (Day 4: Rarepair Extravaganza)

Read and comment on a fic with a character relationship tag (that’s central to the fic, no cheating with ensembles!) that has less than 500 tagged works

For fandoms with <1000 works, use 50 tagged works as a threshold (or your best judgment)

For fandoms with <100 works, use 5 tagged works as a threshold (or your best judgment)

Can be either romantic (using the “/”) or platonic (using the “&”)

January 25th (Day 5: A Blast from the Past)

Read and comment on a fic that was last updated before 2023 (complete or in progress!)

January 26th (Day 6: Canon? Who is she?)

Read and comment on a fic with any ‘Alternate Universe’ tag of your choosing

Canon divergent fics or split timelines count!

January 27th (Day 7: Procrastination Termination)

Read and comment on a fic that you’ve had ‘saved for later’ or opened in a new tab but never got to reading

Or, finish catching up to a multichapter fic that you fell behind on and comment on it

Author Interaction

Send authors who are active on tumblr questions about their work! Ideas/prompts for each day are written below.

January 21st (Day 1: Something New)

Ask an author about future writing projects or ideas that still only exist in their head

January 22nd (Day 2: Hidden Gems)

Ask an author about one of their least-kudosed fics

January 23rd (Day 3: Underrated Blorbos)

Ask an author about something they’re excited or passionate about

January 24th (Day 4: Rarepair Extravaganza)

Ask an author about one of their favorite ships (romantic or just a platonic relationship!)

January 25th (Day 5: A Blast from the Past)

Ask an author about past fandoms they may have participated in or their journey as a fic writer in general

January 26th (Day 6: Canon? Who is she?)

Ask an author about an AU or headcanon of theirs

January 27th (Day 7: Procrastination Termination)

Ask an author about their writing process

Love Posting

Too shy to reach out to someone you admire directly? Write them an anonymous message in our inbox and we will post it and tag their blog for you! (Please be sure to include their blog name so we know who to tag).

Note: If we suspect that your message is back-handed or being hateful towards another group in the community, it will be deleted. If you believe your message was deleted in error, feel free to send this blog a DM about it.

And finally…. If you are an author remember that even if you don’t receive a message or new readers during the course of this event, you are still a valued member of this community. With the size of our fandom, it is impossible to give every single author their due recognition. You are appreciated for your contribution to this fandom, and every fic that is written makes our fandom a more vibrant, wonderful place to be. We love you for the time and effort you put in the art of your creation and we are privileged that you choose to share it for us to enjoy!

In a small hidden cafe, Steve sat in the corner, sipping a coffee while watching the people go by. You entered the café looking for Steve, they had arranged to meet there.

When Steve saw you, he looked up and smiled. You approached the table; everything had been so strange since the click.

“How are you?” he asked.

“I'm fine, I just needed a break,” you replied.

You and Steve spent the night talking, laughing and sharing stories.

Despite everything that had happened, the life you now led was almost what you had always wanted, except for one thing... As much as you had tried, you still didn't have a baby.

One night, days after the Blip, Steve came into the room, you noticed the confusion and pain in his eyes.

“I don't know what to do,” he confessed, taking your hands in his.

“What's wrong, Steve? “you asked him, worried.

“As you know, Tony has found a way to travel through time, which is what we used to get the gems and well I don't know, I was thinking...” he said, his voice trembling. I could go back and be with Peggy, and live the life I always wanted.

“You have to do what you feel is right,” you said, leaving the room, you knew that if you stayed there, you would cry.

Steve followed you and stopped you, kissed you with an intensity that made you forget everything else; and then without saying a word, he hugged me. You felt his tears in my hair and knew this was as hard for him as it was for me.

“I love you,” you whispered in his ear, knowing it was the last time you could say those words to him.

“I love you too,” he replied.

The day Steve would leave came; while he was surrounded by the others, you were at a safe distance, you thought no one saw you, but Brock noticed what was happening.

You and Brock had been in a relationship years before you met Steve, when Steve showed up, you guys split up.

And as soon as you saw him disappear in the time machine, you decided it was time to leave too, you knew your life would never be the same again.

A month later

You were startled when you heard someone ringing your doorbell, you had finally moved into the house your parents had inherited from you, Steve didn't know about it, so he wouldn't look for you.

You hardly ever had visitors, so you thought maybe it was the girl scouts selling cookies.

When you opened the door you were surprised to see Brock.

“It's been a while, you didn't come back,” he said.

“I have no reason to come back,” you replied, letting him pass.

“Ever since I met you, you told me you've always wanted to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. ”

“S.H.I.E.L.D. no longer exists and you know it,” you interrupted him.

“It's because of him, isn't it? ”

You kept quiet, you hadn't told anyone what you had found out a few weeks ago.

“I can arrange everything so that they don't meet, but we need you...”

“No, Brock, I can't go back... I'M PREGNANT! “You blurted out, but immediately covered your mouth with your hands, you were never supposed to tell anyone that secret.

“He went away and left you knowing that.... “Brock clenched his fist; you could hear the annoyance in his voice.

“He didn't know, I found out the day after he went into the past, he can't find out. ”

“Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I never really stopped loving you and that baby needs a father. ”

“Brock... ”

Brock came over and kissed you.

You knew that your son would never meet his biological father, but he would have the perfect father as Brock immediately began to set up the room and everything they would need.

You gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who looked exactly like Steve. Both Brock and you decided that you would not tell anyone about the baby, you would protect him from everything and everyone, and you were not going to allow him to be separated from you.

One day, while you were walking with your son in the park Brock had gone to buy him the balloon he wanted. You turned around when you felt you were being watched, and that's when you saw Steve, you recognized him even though he looked different.

“I came back,” he said, approaching you.

“Why? “You asked him, trying to stay calm, you didn't want the baby to start crying.

“Because I love you and I can't live without you,” he answered.

“Steve, you can't be here,” I said, your voice starting to shake.

Steve looked at you in disbelief and then at the baby, he was confused, trying to understand what was happening.

“My son? “he asked, surprised.

“He's my son, we don't need you, he has the ideal father and it's not yours. ”

“But he is my son... ”

“I can't let you take him away too,” you said firmly. My son can't be part of your world. ”

Steve tried to protest, but you stopped him.

“You must go back to the past and live your life with Peggy. It's best for all of us. ”

“Peggy and I divorced, the children she said were mine... ”

“I don't care. I don't care. ”

“You'd better go, Rogers.” Brock appeared behind you. Steve was startled at the sound of his voice.

“You guys...? ”

“Bye Rogers “Brock carefully took you by the shoulders to lead you away from the place.

[souglias]

Jaded.

You've come to find that this word has made a place in you. Even possibly, it's become you. For a word that contains the name of a precious gem, it is largely undesired.

But enough of you has been broken by those before, and you've done enough damage unto others.

A lone tree in an almost barren garden. That's what you've resigned yourself to be. You will not search for love, nor will you surround yourself with love. Like a warrior out to war, you will clad your too-brittle heart with diamond armour. A stingy merchant you will be, unwilling to give away any part of yourself.

Yet with the light flick of his fingers on your forehead, a seemingly saturnine man makes a deep indent on the walls of your glass city.

Al Haitham is worming his way into that rock-hard organ people would say is your heart with his silent acts. It sets off alarm sirens in your body.

Thoughts of him keep you awake at night and this by itself feels like a threat to your safe zone. If you choose to love him, you will eventually lay yourself and everything about yourself bare to him. There is no one to say that he will hold them the way he handles out-of-print research books filled with priceless knowledge. Nobody can guarantee you he will not take the deepest secrets you've hidden away and point them at you as a weapon in the future. The cycle of hurt and being hurt will begin again. An earthquake rumbles within you and you toss and turn in bed to distract yourself from it.

On those same soundless nights, you also wonder about letting him have a more cardinal role in your life. His fleeting touches set your skin alight and you cannot cease the thoughts about a more prolonged contact. His eyes are a scene you want to relish in, and you find the self-imposed time restraint in admiring them slightly challenging to adhere to. With just the tap of his book on your head and a few candid words, he dispels all the baseless worries you hold so heavily in your mind.

Your mind wanders to a possibility where he would preserve you and everything precious to you. One where you would thaw and let your garden bloom with flowers.

You will find euphoria in the way Al Haitham's hair tickles your fingers when you run your hand through the strands. For the years you have left, you will find hope in his eyes that are of the same colour as the distant fluorescent mushrooms in the flourishing Mawtiyima Forest. When your walls can no longer hold, you will find solace in his secure arms that will safeguard you.

Al Haitham's arms will pull you up in the darkest of days. The sound of his constant heartbeat will come to soothe you on your toughest nights and will tide you over to see the first rays of light. His rare smiles will be yours and only yours to find strength in.

The seemingly saturnine scribe of the Akademiya will water the fragile seedlings when you bring yourself to plant them again. He will let the warmth of the sun gradually thaw its way through the frozen lake. If you will be his eventually, then there will be no rush.

I completed my first @feedthefandomfest bingo!

the green circles are things i already do all the time or quite often (i have thoughts written out somewhere about why i started unhinged liveblog comments and how I now do them for me) but didn't choose to use for bingo.

what this bingo did inspire for me was actually seeking out underappreciated works or new authors on ao3 (not necessarily indicated on my card 😅). I haven't been able to read a ton - at least not in the way I'd like that allows for unhinged live blogging - but I think it'll be cool to see how my reading and commenting habits continue to shift. It's impossible to read everything and stuff easily gets lost in the shuffle and often things are popular for a reason but hidden gems are kind of my jam.

this was a fun, thoughtful experience and I am grateful to @feedthefandomfest for encouraging us to challenge ourselves!

I'll link the fics I read and used for this below the cut (there are definitely some I did more than once so I just counted the first time)

All fics are Julie and the Phantoms

2023 FFXV Kudos & Comments Event - January 15 to 21, 2023

TL;DR: Leave kudos and comments on FFXV fanworks that slipped through the cracks.

What Is This?

Inspired by the Zero Comment Challenge, the goal of this event is to search for FFXV fanworks on AO3 that don’t have any (or that have very few) kudos/comments and leave kudos/comments for the creators. There are over 33,000 FFXV fanworks on AO3, and there are undoubtedly many works that slipped through the cracks, especially on fast-moving days. 

So we’re going to unearth these hidden gems and give them a little love!

How Can I Participate?

Option 1: Kudos

Go to the FFXV tag on AO3 and apply whatever filters you need to enjoy your experience. Then sort by Kudos and go to the very last page. Check out any works that appeal to you, and leave a kudos when you’re finished. That’s all!

Option 2: Comment

Go to the FFXV tag on AO3 and apply whatever filters you need to enjoy your experience. Then sort by Comments and go to the very last page. Check out any works that appeal to you, and leave a comment when you’re finished. The comment can be emojis, keyboard smashes, “extra kudos,” calling attention to details you particularly liked, or even live-blogging your reaction. (If the creator has comments turned off, go ahead and just leave a kudos!)

Option 3: Recommend

Did you find something while doing Option 1 or Option 2 that you particularly enjoyed? Share the link on your favorite social media platforms! If you’re on tumblr or twitter, use #ffxvkudos on your rec posts. (NSFW recs are fine!) 

Please be courteous and include title, author, pairing/relationship, rating, and mandatory archive warnings in any recs you make. Providing screenshots from AO3 may be easiest. If you do use screenshots, please add ALT text! This account will try to reblog all of the recs.

Option 4: Boost

Don’t have time to participate fully in the event? Please retweet, reblog, and otherwise share other people’s recommendations! 

Questions?

Please send an ask if you have any questions.

Three Fics Tag

I was tagged by @feraltuxedo. Thanks for the tag! :)  I’m supposed to talk about my most popular fic and then list two ‘hidden gems.’

My most popular fic is still a WIP for the Megamind fandom, based on sheer number of hits, is Metro City Zombie War. (Link:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/6686695)

An AU about Megamind fighting a zombie invasion and trying to take care of a Lair full of hapless citizens. This is by far my longest fic, and little did I know that it would grow to such a size or end up encompassing such an enormous range of characters. It compelled me to do research on the infrastructure of the myriad details of running a city, and how catastrophic it is when basic services are inoperable. And then there’s the zombies. I don’t even like zombie stories usually, lol, and yet here we are. I think the way in which people are thrown together and support each other in dire circumstances is the most interesting thing about these sorts of survival situations so that’s most often my focus.

Here’s two hidden gems, one each from my other fandoms, a couple of fics of which I am particularly fond.

Holiday Cheer is from Gotham, featuring my OTP Oswald Cobblepot and Jim Gordon. (Link:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/17408561)

Everyone in Gotham drinks absolutely insane amounts of alcohol, and when Jim inadvertantly snubs Oswald at a Christmas party and Oswald nearly leaves in a huff, Harvey plays wingman, persuading him to stick around a little longer by challenging him to a drinking game. Jim isn’t too thrilled, however, to see the (potential) object of his affection boozing it up with Harvey. Because how can Jim tell Oswald how he really feels if he’s plastered?

My second hidden gem is Rude Awakening for Good Omens. (Link:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/35745175)

I love how fussy and needy Aziraphale can be when there’s something he wants and this fic tickles me every time I read it. The premise is that after their first night of intimacy, Aziraphale gets terribly restless in Crowley’s spartan, bookless apartment waiting for Crowley to wake up and pay some attention to him, and tries to keep busy by finding little chores.

I tag @elf-kid2, @nientedal, @izabella95, @hasturswig, @nikkiscarlet, @janara7, just if you want to play :)

Now that Doomsday has been averted, Crowley realizes that he needs to apologize for the things he said and did to Azirapahale.

Mostly smut and fluff, with a sprinkle of angst as a treat.

22 notes - Posted February 6, 2022

My #1 post of 2022

Here's an idea: Crowley is the landlord. It’s an evil-coded job of which Hell would approve, and he can maintain the properties for his angel, secretly keep out the cut-throat businesses that Aziraphale doesn’t like, encourage the patisseries and lovely little family-owned places that the angel patronizes, etc. All while staying in Hell’s good graces.

Inspired by one of @topcrowley‘s comments once about how Aziraphale has never bought a thing in his life because Crowley is always buying stuff for him.

Buckle up, babes! 🛤️ This month’s energy feels like being stuck in a confusing maze (8 of Swords) and then suddenly realizing that all you need is a leap of faith to break free (The Fool). It’s time to stop overthinking and start living, whether that means taking a risk or being open to the unexpected. Ready to jump? 🌈👀

2. Current Feelings: The Star + 10 of Swords

You’ve got hope in your heart (The Star) but OUCH, the sting of past disappointments still lingers (10 of Swords). Healing is a process, and you’re shining through it. Remember, stars are born in the darkest of nights! 💫🌌 Soak up those healing vibes and trust that you’re headed toward something truly beautiful.

3. Influences from the Past: Ace of Cups + Ace of Swords + 2 of Swords

Love has brought both blessings and serious head-spinning decisions in the past (Ace of Cups + Ace of Swords). Now, with the 2 of Swords here, there’s still some indecision hanging around. Are you blocking your heart because your mind can’t make up its mind? Think about it, darling. 🥀🧠💔

4. Potential Partner’s Energy: 8 of Wands + 8 of Pentacles + Justice

Whoa, spicy! 🔥 Someone is either coming in hot or is ready to put in the work (8 of Wands + 8 of Pentacles). They mean business! Justice is calling, and this person may be all about balance and honesty. Will you match their energy? ⚖️✨ Looks like they might be someone who wants to build something solid and fair.

5. Challenges: The World

The biggest hurdle? Closure and full-circle moments. 🌍 You might feel like you’re wrapping up a major chapter or that your love story is yearning for a sense of completeness. If things feel unfinished, ask yourself what you truly need to feel whole again. 🎢🌀

6. Advice for Overcoming Challenges: The Magician + The Devil + 4 of Pentacles

Manifest, but be careful! 🪄✨ You have all the tools to make magic happen (The Magician), but watch out for temptations or old habits pulling you back (The Devil). Also, loosen that grip, honey (4 of Pentacles). If you hold on too tightly, you could block what’s meant for you. Breathe. Let. It. Flow. 💨🫶

7. Hidden Influences: Knight of Cups + The Hanged Man + The Emperor + 5 of Swords

Someone could come in offering sweet words (Knight of Cups), but take a pause and look at things from a different angle (Hanged Man). The Emperor brings a need for boundaries and strength, but that sneaky 5 of Swords warns: beware of conflict! 🕊️💣 Sometimes love is a battlefield, but you’re a warrior! ⚔️💖

8. Outcome by the End of the Month: 7 of Swords + 6 of Swords + High Priestess

Ooooh, mysterious! 🕵️‍♀️✨ It’s all about moving away from deceit and into calm waters (6 of Swords). The High Priestess says to trust your intuition and let your higher self lead you. Secrets might come to light, but you’ll be navigating it like the cosmic queen/king you are! 👑🌊

Overall Vibe: Ace of Wands

🔥 Passion is here, ready to ignite! Whether it’s a new spark or a new attitude, things are heating up. This month is about fresh, fiery beginnings! Get excited!! 🥵🌟

Unleash the Power of Tumblr Marketing: A Guide to Boosting Your Brand's Presence

Tumblr, the microblogging platform that seamlessly combines social media and blogging, has become a hidden gem for marketers looking to engage with diverse audiences and cultivate a unique online presence.

If you're ready to tap into the vibrant world of Tumblr marketing, this guide will provide you with essential tips to skyrocket your brand's visibility.

Understand Your Audience: Before diving into Tumblr marketing, take the time to understand the platform's user base. Tumblr is known for its diverse and creative community, making it crucial to tailor your content to resonate with this unique audience. Identify your target demographic, explore trending topics, and adapt your brand voice to align with Tumblr's culture.

Create Engaging Visual Content: Tumblr is a visual-centric platform, and eye-catching graphics, GIFs, and images are key to capturing users' attention. Invest time in creating visually appealing content that reflects your brand's personality. Whether it's original artwork, aesthetically pleasing photos, or engaging infographics, prioritize visuals to make your posts stand out on users' dashboards.

Utilize Tags Effectively: Tags are the lifeblood of Tumblr. They help users discover content and contribute to the platform's vibrant communities. Research popular tags related to your industry and incorporate them into your posts strategically. However, avoid overloading your posts with excessive tags, as this can be seen as spammy behavior.

Embrace Storytelling: Tumblr users appreciate authentic and relatable content. Share your brand story, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and anecdotes that connect with your audience on a personal level. Create a narrative that fosters a sense of community and encourages users to engage with your brand.

Engage with the Community: Building relationships on Tumblr is crucial for successful marketing. Like, reblog, and comment on relevant content within your niche. Respond to messages and comments on your own posts, and consider participating in Tumblr's various community initiatives, such as challenges and themed events.

Diversify Content Formats: While visuals are essential, diversifying your content formats can keep your audience engaged. Incorporate text-based posts, quotes, audio clips, and even video content. Experiment with different content types to discover what resonates best with your audience.

Schedule Posts Consistently: Consistency is key on Tumblr. Develop a posting schedule that aligns with your audience's active times. Use Tumblr's queue feature to schedule posts in advance, ensuring a steady flow of content without overwhelming your followers.

Monitor Analytics: Take advantage of Tumblr's built-in analytics tools to track the performance of your posts. Pay attention to engagement metrics, popular tags, and trending topics. Use this data to refine your content strategy and optimize future posts.

In conclusion, Tumblr marketing offers a unique opportunity to connect with a creative and diverse audience. By understanding the platform, creating visually appealing content, and actively engaging with the community, you can leverage Tumblr to boost your brand's visibility and foster meaningful connections. Embrace the Tumblr culture, tell your brand story, and watch your presence flourish in this dynamic online space.

HERE I AM 84 YEARS LATER after my first reblog got eaten by tumblr 🤡 bratty switchy!Ezra in the warning already made my legs jump in anticipation, but the whole set of warnings feel like getting lost in the bakery, trying to decide what to eat because everything looks so nice and I’m starving, but in this case I could get a little bite of everything (that would be my dream bakery tbh) 😈

Gotta insert a “Keep reading” for this whole mess of a comment again

I keep telling you that because you keep proving my point, but it’s almost scary how you figured me out!!! It feels like every single paragraph, every single sentence was tailored for me and I’m just trying to keep my shit together before I catch myself running laps around the block fighting cars and chasing cyclists because you make me so hyped up (among other things) that I have human zoomies 😩

“Instead he traces the inseam of his pants, and flickers his eyes up to catch yours.” Do we all imagine him in that scene where he sits on the ground of the ship and makes those tiny suggestive movements that are supposed to be innocent? Because I certainly do.

“Don’t be sore, Ez, I could ruin you just as well,” I LOVE HER!!!! Self aware icon 💅

“Arms up,” you add, and while he raises his eyebrows he lifts his hands above his head, resting them on the pillow under it. By Kevva he looks gorgeous like this, a feast to be devoured.” - I could perfectly see this in my mind and SO TRUE BESTIE!!! And the vulnerability of it all? I Ate That Shit Up! 👏 For some reason I imagine him having one or more handpoke tattoos on his torso or arm as well, by default hidden by his clothes 👀 I just see him revealing it/them as he slowly streches out…………

I love that Ezra’s cold confidence doesn’t make her intimidated, if anything, she almost take it as a challenge to break him down and boy, break him down she does 👀 The way he becomes a squeaky mumbling mess the second he’s out of his element is just divine but he still puts his trust in her and he doesn’t regret it 😌

“You’d eaten out women who writhed and begged less, and every plea and racking sob you pull from his battered throat goes straight to your cunt.” Okay, this was a mental image and audio that made me physically shudder….. I just love imagining the PPCU boys’ lovely voice, I had fallen into this pit called the Pedro fandom because of Din voice, too. 👀 And not only the noises but the dialogue??? Your depraved dirty talk is something I wanna be buried with. 🙌 Their desperation always comes through, and the things they say make me lose my mind 🫠

That bratty little shit got absolutely wrecked and I’m here for it. 😌 He could only beg at the end, but luckily for him we can’t say no. 😇

“Once I get my hands on you, Quick, you’ll truly be done for.” HELLOO don’t tease us!!! “Unfortunately for your productivity the following day, he’s right.” You’re so mean for stopping here!!!! 😭 But I love you still 😇

I was right, this is exactly the unhinged depraved stuff that was made for Ezra (and Dieter…… which makes me want to read a messy threesome with them 🫣 or just the two of them 🫣🫣 if you’re ever inspired for something like this? anyway!!!), and I’m so happy you got this gem for us! This was everything I wanted and more than I could have imagined and I’m so grateful to you for that 🥰

I got honey bear and I think it would perfectly fit our underrated hedonistic feral trashpanda of a man, Ezra 👀

Thank you, LJ! 🥰

Darling Fanna, you know I had to give you the best I could possibly fathom. You are always so supportive and kind, and the best way I could think of to thank you was to make Ezra get absolutely WRECKED.

Pairing: Ezra x F!Reader

Position: Honey Bear

Word Count: 1917 (a big sendoff for a wonderful bangathon!)

Warnings: Explicit, 18+ MINORS DNI, bisexual reader, Dom!Reader, bratty switch!Ezra, mentions of wlw, allusions to oral sex (f receiving), masturbation, oral sex (m receiving), anal play, rimming (m receiving), fingering (m receiving), biting, brief noncon thought (not acted on), cum play, cum eating/swapping, everyone is filthy and having a great time.

Notes: Here it is! The final Bangathon request! And I tried my hardest to make it as filthy, as bangable, as explosive as possible for an excellent finish! (how many more sex jokes can I cram in here?) Thank you for giving me the perfect final request, and thank everyone for reading and coming on this sexy month-long sleepover with me!

The moment you rise to the challenge, you know you’ve made a mistake. 

The other prospectors in your group had been drinking, something strong and sour-sweet they must have brewed from the plant life. Algora had many mysterious treasures hidden amongst its flora, including the delicate stamens from an indigo-gold flower you were collecting. You’d taken a few too many swigs of the hooch yourself, chasing the rotten flavor with faux chocolate ration bars. The slow unclenching of your muscles must have also unfurled your tongue when they began bragging of conquests.

“So much talk for a bunch of men who’ve never made a woman cum,” you drawl out, the boisterous negations rising as you slide your eyes to your target. Ezra - loquacious, boastful, self-assured survivor of the Green - doesn’t add to the noise. Instead he traces the inseam of his pants, and flickers his eyes up to catch yours. You hold them, challenging, but he only lets a secret smile curl his lip.

“And how many have you made crash against the rocks of pleasure, Quick?” he says, voice carrying over the din even though he barely raises it. The men simmer at the stare-down. Ezra had given them all cutting nicknames, but your own - quicklime, caustic, harsh, explosive - gave you a thrill you’d never admit.

“Many more than you,” you shoot back, peeling your fingers into a V and flicking your tongue lewdly between them. The men shout and jeer, but their voices fade into obscurity as you stand against the man who’d been haunting your nights. Stalking outside your tent, sometimes lingering too long, his shadow stretched across the canvas. More than once you’d admired his silhouette jerking off as quietly as possible, prideful lust burning through your veins. Let him look on and desire, you’d think before indulging yourself. 

“Maybe so,” Ezra says nonchalantly, tossing back the last of the foul liquor and licking the pad of his thumb. Your cunt aches, too long without a satisfying partner, and too much alcohol pulsing in your intimate flesh.

“Don’t be sore, Ez, I could ruin you just as well,” you toss out, throat closing up the moment you say it. The challenge is too bold in such company, but it’s too late to take it back. Ezra’s eyes blaze, the sharp flash of teeth catching the light before smoothing into a bored eyebrow raise.

“Maybe so.”

You excuse yourself soon after, whoops and promises of mind-blowing nights following. You wave them off dismissively, knowing not a single man would dare try and test your patience. Rickel still has trouble kneeling from the slash you gave the inside of his thigh. Stripping down in your tent, you scrub the sweat and grime from your body. As the mud joins the rest on your dirt floor, the zip of your tent opens. Fury burns quick and hot in your chest, snatching at a knife by the bucket and spinning around.

“Your offer intrigued me.”

Ezra steps inside the tent flap, zipping it shut behind him. Lowering the knife, you stand in naked glory, preening while his dark eyes roam your wet skin. He lingers by your throat, and the thatch of curls framing your sex. 

“I wondered when you might gather up the courage to come inside,” you say, toweling yourself dry as he steps closer. 

“Does it not make your heart race, standing just on the precipice of something?” Ezra reaches for your skin, but you toss the sopping rag at him instead.

“You're filthy. If you want to know my touch, clean yourself first.”

You actually prefer it that way, musky and sweaty when you indulge, but delight in Ezra following orders. He strips free of his sweat-stained clothing, squeezing water over the hard planes of his back. Even reaching for your soap, lathering it in his armpits, scrubbing his fingernails, and then sudsing his cock. His eyes hood with desire as he strokes himself, letting you watch him grow generously. Another squeeze of water leaves bubbles to pop in the dirt, and Ezra drying himself with your towel.

“Lie down,” you order, and he obeys with amusement in his eyes. You suspect he’s often the one in charge, but his flushed cock twitches at your tone. “Arms up,” you add, and while he raises his eyebrows he lifts his hands above his head, resting them on the pillow under it.

By Kevva he looks gorgeous like this, a feast to be devoured. You hurry to straddle him, sliding your fingers up his arm to press his hands into the bed.

“You promised ruin,” he teases, lifting his jaw to steal a kiss, but you raise just out of reach. The distraction is perfect, because just as he pouts you close the restraints around his wrists. 

The change is electric; his face hardens, eyes turning flinty and indignant with the start of anger, but you grip his chin and hold him to your gaze.

“You’ll have to trust me,” you say. The moment crackles between you, waiting for him to refuse. Instead he lays back and chuckles.

“You know, with this right hand I can easily escape these bonds,” he says, and you catch him trying to gain advantage. Sliding off his lap, you slip between his thighs instead. 

“Does it feel pain?” you ask, dragging your nails slowly down his chest. He arches, a strangled noise in his throat. A pearly drop of precum beads at the tip of his cock, and you spread it across his silky head. 

“Not a lick,” he chokes out. Leaning forward, your hips pressing into the cradle of his, you sink your teeth into his bicep just below the pink line of his true flesh. Fisting his cock, you rut your hips into him, a firm stroke up and down punching a groan from Ezra’s slack lips. The prosthetic flesh feels realistic, and something primal, animal, roars forward. You bite as hard as you can, past the point where you would have drawn blood, and let the adrenaline rush through. Humping into Ezra’s taut body, you jerk his cock in time with your panted breaths, feral with his body finally at your will.

“Quick, fuck, vicious little thing,” Ezra snarls, pulling against the restraints but not breaking free. You release, sitting back on your heels and admiring the ring of teeth you’ve left on his faux skin.

“You’ll have ruin, Ez,” you say, voice thick with promise as you shuffle down to your elbows. He watches you with hazy curiosity as you lift his legs over your shoulders, knees hinging to grip your back. He keens out, and you’re suddenly very aware of how empty and dripping your cunt is. 

“If your sharp mouth has anything to do with it, I will not have the resolve to resist for long,” he hisses, hips canting as he tries to reach your lips. You reward him with a kiss to the tip and a swirl of your tongue, but dip lower instead.

“You’ll just have to try harder,” you challenge before pushing his thighs up and pressing your tongue to his tender asshole. There’s no gentle warm-up; you roll and flutter the muscle hard against his tight ring. Ezra’s hips shoot up off the bed, the rattle of the restraints loud and frantic.

“Fuck, Quick, fuck, fuck, by Kevva, you’re…never…I’ve…stop, please, I can’t…you’re…” Ezra can barely make a thought, which brings more pride than you thought you could gain from wrecking his perspective on pleasure. You continue your onslaught, easing back enough to let him catch his breath before forcefully fucking him with your clever tongue. You’d eaten out women who writhed and begged less, and every plea and racking sob you pull from his battered throat goes straight to your cunt. Wishing you’d fitted one of your toys in your neglected pussy, you settle for rocking against the worn mattress, just enough pressure to ease some of your mounting need.

Once you set a steady rhythm of stroking his weeping cock and breaching his greedy ass, you know he’s done for. He roars through clenched teeth, half-formed promises of how he’ll fuck you until you can’t speak, the debauched things he wants to do to you. You reward the ones you like with a scrape of your teeth, jolting his hips under your mouth. 

“Quick, please,” he groans, the edge of his sanity lost in his voice. You finally relent, lifting your head and glowing at his flushed body, shaking with unshed tears. 

“Tell me,” you order, and everything stops. That’s worse for him, his hips punching up as he struggles to focus. 

“Can you be…inside me?” he asks, voice raw from overuse. You smirk at him, wiggling your free fingers.

“How many?” 

Ezra’s head lolls back as he heaves in a breath. “Two. Please, two.”

Slicking your fingers with spit, you circle his rim. “Deep breath, then let it out.” Ezra complies, and at the top of his sigh you slide your fingers in. The rest of his breath whooshes out, clamping down on the tips. 

“Relax,” you soothe, giving him a few strokes up and down his cock to redirect his attention. When he’s still tight and shuddering you scold, “Ez, if you don’t relax I’m gonna have to force them in.” 

“Fuck!” he curses, and a new wave of slick gathers in your folds. Would he like that? You taking what you want from him, pleasure be damned? Or would that only make it better for him? You lower your voice, huskier, sultrier.

“Take them, Ez.” 

Just like that he relaxes around you, letting you slide in to your knuckles. 

“See? Isn’t that good?”

“Yes.”

“Do you want me to fuck you now, Ez?”

“Please, Quick. Want it so bad.”

You rock your fingers inside him, finding the soft spot that rolls his eyes back and lengthens his neck. He’s close, cock impossibly hard in your hand and toes curling against your back. Grinding against the bed you chase your own pleasure, waiting for his body to tense up hard before wrapping your lips around his head and flooding your mouth. He snaps his hips up sharply, spilling his seed with frantic shouts and gasps. 

You work him through the aftershocks, holding his cum on your tongue until he’s beginning to soften in your mouth. Lifting off, you slip his legs back to the bed and lean over his chest, lips pursed. Before you can dribble his own spend back on his overheated skin, he opens his mouth and lays out his tongue. Your cunt clenches, crawling up his body as he waits patiently. Opening your mouth, you let his cum slide from your tongue to his, finally sealing your lips together. He licks greedily in, swallowing down his taste. You groan, tangling your fingers in his hair and smearing your neglected cunt against his stomach. When you finally come up for air, his eyes are glassy and ravenous.

“Now yours,” he says, a weak order but one you’re willing to follow. 

“Let me take these off you,” you say, fingers circling his chafed wrists. He shakes his head, lifting his chin with that wicked smile returning to his sinful lips.

“Once I get my hands on you, Quick, you’ll truly be done for.”

Straddling his face, you put a firm hand in his short hair. “Maybe so.”

Unfortunately for your productivity the following day, he’s right.

Beautiful sweet beacon-of-light Market Mesa. A solid B- in the school of Level Design Through Amusement Park Design.

To best detail it in my Very Amateur Understanding: Market Mesa is very distinctly broken up into different areas (I'll call them "zones" here). They're made distinct by things like distance and geometry, but particularly in this instance: elevation and texture. I've highlighted them into 6 zones (it could be argued to only cut them into only 5 or 4 but i'm saying 6):

the Market Level

the Hidden Peaks

the Rooftop

the Bridges

the West Peak

the East Peak

The Market Level is the long, continuous pink stone-floored strip. (The pink stone floors are the only places in the stage where those red-and-white striped market stalls are used, and the vast majority of them are located in this zone). From the player's starting point, there are no increases in elevation within the zone, and 3 decreases in elevation, each pointing the player toward a point of interest (from west to east: the locked chest; the Hidden Peaks; and the thief chase path).

It also contains more direct access points to the other zones than any of the others do*, allowing it to act as like the travel hub of the stage (think the circular walkway at the end of Main Street facing the center castle at either of the USA Disney parks).

*The Player is able to fly from high on the Roof to either the zones containing the two other bells and either bridge zone, but these aren't direct, and require a leap of faith due to the screen size.

The Hidden Peaks is just two tiny square blocks surrounded by deathplane floor, one holding a fairy and a candle, and the other only as a go-between from this zone to the Market Level. It's the only space physically separated from the main landmass without at least a bridge connecting the two. Its only contents are 17 loose gems, a single candle, and the spawnpoint for the candle fairy. It's fittingly minute in both its size and gameplay purpose, a place that you'd only ever need to go to once (especially since the "flame all instances of this item" challenges will teleport the player directly to the fairy's spawnpoint; you either light this candle last and the fairy appears next to you, or you go there, light the candle, leave, complete the challenge at a different candle, and the game puts you back here automatically.)

I'm. going to break this up into further reblogs now this is Long Enough already and also I'm still scared of the unviewable character limit.

okay no I need everyone to look at this nonsense. For YEARS I played SoI constantly feeling like "am I bad at this game? am I bad at Spyro? am I bad at traveling and locating in Spyro games even though I never use the minimap in 2?" and it turns out No 90% Of The Game Is Just A FUCKING NIGHTMARE

Hidden Gems Masterlist

My sweet, lovely friend @calaofnoldor has a fabulous challenge going on ~ Hidden Gems Reblog Challenge.

She has two long master lists already of great hidden gem fics, here and here.
