Okay alright sorry for all the sudden German politics influx but lemme explain what happened so far and why Germans are losing it a bit:
The tldr? Our government is getting a divorce and it's turning messy with elections being called early and now being called even earlier.
The longer version?
Okay so, groundwork first:
in Germany there is a coalition currently in power called the Ampel(traffic lights) bc the colours of the party are red, yellow and green (or not anymore or for much longer??). They're centrist slightly more left leaning than right leaning. (You could argue about that I am aware). There has been infighting for as long as this coalition has been going on. It is also the first three party coalition since y know, the Last Time.
So. Enough groundwork. The yellow party (FDP) has a finance minister (Christiane Lindner) it's this guy
You will see him in memes I am sure. We don't like him. He's an asshole and has blocked every meaningful change that the coalition had been trying to accomplish. He also got his finance plan blocked by our highest court because parts were against our Constitution.
(.... I am oversimplifying hard here it's actually more complicated than that and not fully his fault, but it's also not the focus)
What WAS the fault though of him and the FDP was that they had a strong position of "saving money at all costs" which made bigger and bigger rifts with the two other coalition partners who were more leaftleaning. The war in Ukraine, Infrastructure, climate change - there were many places that needed more money and Lidner was like naaahhhhh for no fucking reason other than "oh we need to save money!!"
Long story short there have been arguing all the fucking time and therefore have started to lose approval. Drastically lose approval. As on for the first time since the Last Time there is a far right party in charge for part of the country that is also being investigated for being Nazis. (Oversimplifying again).
Which is. Worrying. You know. Especially with Trump now being elected. It has us all a little skittish.
The finance minister has also now been fired.
You see. We were all still trying to stomach Trump winning the US election, when Scholz, in the same fucking evening, fired Lindner.
And not in a polite way. Nah. Olaf fucking Scholz our Chancellor, notorious for saying literally nothing, and with a running joke that he regularly stops existing bc that man Does Not Take Stances, a spine of wet cardboard, delivered this yesterday evening:
(English subtitles by me you already got this far watch it I spent too much time on this lol)
And it is insane alright. For his standards and German politic standards thats the equivalent of calling Lindner a egomaniacal bitch that has only his self interest at heart and can not be trusted.
Lindner and his party have been pulverised in all recent elections. Which means that after he was fired, the FDP completely withdrew from the coalition and all minister from the FDP resigned.
....well all but one who apparently stayed in his positions because he's leaving the FDP over this. What sort of shitty backstabbing kindergarten fight is this. (Jokes aside hes the minister of transportation and says he needs to stay in office in important projects. Which. True. Having minister resigning en mass is not good)
Alright cool cool cool cool. Current situation yesterday is the following:
So. Trump is president. Fuck.
Lindner got fired! Yaaay!
Wait my goverment is now also falling apart! Fuck.
Which all lead to new elections being called in Germany.
Mind you, that's not usual ok. I know other countries have systems where they can call an election whenever but that is not a thing that normally happens here. We have a schedule alright. (Insert obligatory "Germans and their plans and structure" joke)
So new elections are called for spring, nearly a year early. Cool cool cool. With a right wing rising in Germany and deeply unpopular current leadership. On the eve of motherfucking trump getting elected.
Habeck, leader of the green party and one of the few policians in germany I think is vaguely liked by ppl (the general attitude in German politics is less "I like this guy" and more "you are the least shitty choice I guess") has appearently also nearly started crying after the news broke. So. Yeah.
Now. Let's make this shitshow complete,alright?
There is this party. CDU. They had been in charge for a very long time in Germany. Centrist, right leaning, with the afd on the rising even more right leaning than before. Their current leader is Friedrich Merz, as unpleasant as human beings can go.
He has now called for the new election to be not in a few months but like. To be called next week.
In the current climate.
So yeah. if you're German mutuals and friends are currently going through their own stages of grief - this is why.

Hi!
Can I request a fic where the reader starts realizing they have feelings for Sylus and gets so nervous around him that they canât resonate anymore?
And Sylus thinks that the reader is scared/disgusted by him again so the reader is forced to confess their feelings to not create a bigger misunderstanding
Thanks!
- đ»
The moment I got this request I was like HELLOâ sunflower anon, you just get me đ Anyway! Am back from my break and I hope everyoneâs ready for some Vulnerable Sylusâąïž, because I have got him hot to go!!!
A Gentle Touch
Sylus x Reader đ©ž
Summary: You really canât let Sylus into your head this timeâ heâs living there rent-free already.
Genre: Angst + Fluff (& some Luke and Kieran shenanigans because they were not feeling the angst)
Warnings/Additional Tags: f!reader, injury detail, mentions of possible trauma, humour, some intimacy at the end đ, Luke and Kieran are having the time of their lives
| Word count: 3.2k | Masterlist | Opt-in to my taglist here!
Disclaimer: Characters belong to Love and Deepspace. All work is my own, so please don't repost or plagiarise!
If you asked, Sylus would tell you.
You catch glimpses: dark, sharp flickers of something monstrous, maybe even infernal. Blood, everywhereâ thick in your mouth and your nose. All over your hands. You feel it, too: a yearning, so intense, and you couldnât say whom it belongs to. Then thereâs death. Searing white. Bottomless black. In the middle of all of itâ crimson eyes like dying stars.
Every time you resonate, it envelops you, is laid out bare before you: a nightmare youâre caught in the centre of but forced to watch from outside. An other, a spectator. Itâs a show, just for you, but it isnât quite ready yet; someoneâs still rehearsing their lines.
If you asked, Sylus would let you see it. Itâs a power you have over him, a constant, self-sacrificial: you want it? Itâs yours. So you donât ask. You never ask. Like words mumbled in a haze of wine or sleep, you let him hold onto it. His hands are open, yes, but you donât have to take. Â
Besides, you have your own, world-changing little secret, and heâs going to see it too.
Heâs slumped in front of you, blood sheeting down from two bullet wounds just below his shoulder. He catches his breathâ one, twoâ before he peeks over this desk youâve overturned for cover. You should be peeking over as well: should be counting your enemies, scouting your next move.
Instead, youâre looking at him and holding back. One minute ago you had no idea where he was, how he was, and itâd been eating away at you from the moment you got separated. Now heâs with youâ he found youâ and the relief is desperate, gushing; it has to escape somehow. It drips: forbidden daydreams, one after the other, likeâŠ
How you want to hold his face and urge him to speak so you can just hear his voice.
How you want to press a hand to his heart and feel the beat of it beneath your palm.
How you want to kiss him, want to taste the blood on his split lip, because this is your story, isnât it? Messy. Violent. Defiant.
He looks at you, that same blood carving a thin line through the pale of his chin. It drops down onto his silk shirt. âWhat are you thinking about, kitten?â he grins. His best guess: âThis is a fine mess weâve gotten ourselves into, hmm?â
Itâs a fine mess he got you into. âYeah.â You make yourself look away from him, glancing over the desk to assess how much worse the situation is getting. The answer? Significantly.Â
Sylus chuckles, drawing your eyes back as he reloads his gun. âDonât say I never treat you to anything, sweetie.â He fires a few rounds towards the encroaching danger.
Voices go up across the room. Gunshots ring out, louder. Sylus slinks back down, wincing, holding his shoulder, and his fingers turn red. He deftly undoes the first few buttons on his shirt, peeling it back so he can examine his wounds. His jaw clenches; the punctures arenât closing over fast enough. Itâs too much blood, too quick, and heâllâ
He catches you staring. Thereâs a sheepish sincerity in the way he smiles, as honest and vulnerable as the holes in his shoulder. He holds out his hand. âTime for an energy storm, donât you think?â
âNo,â you snap. âSave your energy. We might need it later.â
âOh?â An eyebrow perks up in interest, and itâs just like him to spot a double entendre in the midst of all this chaos.
But youâre staring at his chest through his open shirt and youâre such a hypocrite. âThings might get worse,â you explain.
âWorse?â he repeats as bullets fly over your heads, striking the wall across from you and scattering plaster over the floor. He watches it crumble. âPaint me a picture, kittenâ what would worse look like?â
Even Rafayel might struggle with that particular creative prompt.
âCome on,â Sylus insists, using the excuse of your silence to push his hand closer to you. âNowâs not the time to play coy.â
âSylus, I really donâtââ
He grasps your hand, his fingers locking with yours and squeezing tight. Your heart jumps at the touch. It strangles the protests in your throat and stays there, strung up by anticipation and dread.
Youâre feeling so much that it takes you too long to realise nothing is happening.
Sylusâs eyes are fixed on your connected palms. Heâs squinting, concentrating, and when that doesnât workâ when your hand is paling in the vice of hisâ he loosens his grip, his thumb feathering over yours as he mumbles a quick: âforgive me.â
He doesnât let you go. You can still feel him, all of him, imploring to just let him in.
You donât, and his eyes meet yours, for a momentâ like another bullet has bitten through his flesh. Your mouth drops in fake surprise; youâre always so innocent when you pull a trigger on him.
This time, thereâs no wound you can push your hands against in a guilty effort to staunch the bleeding. You have to apologise. Have to stitch it up with every word youâve been guarding, saving, and it isnât supposed to be like this. âSylus, itâs not what you think. Iââ
Something metal clatters across the floor behind you, bounces like a failing, stuttering heartbeat, then explodes.
âŠ
âGood news, boss! We figured it out!â
Sylus groans, looking up from a report heâs not really been reading as two figures crash into his room. Not good, he thinks, as Kieran flings himself into the nearest armchair. Whatever this is, itâs not good. Luke settles on its arm.
With a sigh, Sylus removes his reading glasses. They stay, hooked on a finger, as he pushes his hair back like he can feel a headache coming on. His eyes flutter closed, and when they open, the twins are both leaning forward, bristling with excitement.
âAsk us,â Luke whispers in a way that makes Sylus think he might not realise heâs speaking out loud.
Another sigh. âWhat did you figure out?â
Kieran whips out a tired-looking notepad from behind his back. He clears his throatâ âahem!ââ then starts to read: âReasons why Miss Hunter was not able to resonate with you. Number one...â
âHow did you find out aboutââ
âSshhhh,â Kieran interrupts, putting a finger to where his lips should be. Sylusâs eyes widen in indignation, and Luke comes to his twinâs rescue, silently indicating Mephisto with a few tips of his head. The crow shrinks down on his perch.
âNumber one,â Kieran repeats, matter-of-factly. âYour height.â
âMy⊠height?â
Luke nods solemnly as Kieran continues: âhumanityandconquer.com/power-dynamics describes tallness as a ânatural advantage when trying to dominate a smaller individual.â You are very tall. Try crouching when you speak to Miss Hunter.â He glances over the top of his notepad. âIf you approach her at her level, sheâll know you mean noââ
âNope. Next,â Sylus dismisses, waving his hand in a fast-forward motion. That headache is coming on.
âReason two,â Kieran acquiesces, gaze falling, âyour eyes.â
âOh, for godsâ sakeââ
âTheyâre red,â the twin pushes on, âand red means danger. In fiction, red eyes are symonyââ he stops, spells it outâ âsynonymous with the supernatural. Vampires especially. Plus, lots of bad stuff is red.â Heâs going off-script. âBlood. Fire. Sunburns.â
âSunburns are pink,â Luke muses.
âNo, like, bad sunburns, yâknow?â
âOh right, yeah.â Thereâs a shrug of agreement.
Sylusâs will to live is hanging by a thread, and they really donât have a care in the world, do they? It must be nice. âThank you,â he murmurs, âfor your little investigation. If thatâs all, I wouldââ
âReason three!â Luke chirps, wiggling the same number of fingers, and Sylusâs head lolls back against the sofa.
âMiss Hunter is struggling to separate this version of you from your first impression,â Kieran says.
Sylus looks up. âWhat?â
Luke is rubbing his hands together eagerly, like theyâve finally gotten to the good stuff. âWell, you remember how you and Miss Hunter met,â his twin explains.
Words wonât do it justice, apparently, because the man begins to act it out. He reaches to grip Luke by the throat and Luke pretends to choke, fingers clawing at the grasp. Then Kieran stands upâ throws Luke down into the chair and pins him there with his foot before snatching up his hand.
âSee what I mean?â Kieran asks over his shoulder. âI mean, it must have been pretty traumatic. You kinda tore her away from everything she knew. Forced her to use her power, et cetera, et cetera.â
Sylus has gone quiet. Heâs vaguely aware that the twins are moving, saying more, but he canât hear it. He feels sick. Then he feels something different: someone poking at his arm. A hand is waved in front of his face, but he doesnât react.
âOh, we so got it,â Luke whispers conspiratorially behind him.
âHell yeah we did!â Kieran whispers back.
Thereâs the sound of them high-fiving, and it spurs Sylus into action. Heâs up out of his seat, out of their shadows, and then the door as wellâ long before they can stop him. He needs to breathe. He needs the cold night air and the quiet, and his strides drive him towards it, but not fast enough.
Heâs about to use his Evol. To let himself evaporate so he can be whole again somewhere else, somewhere easier, but then he stops. Heâs by an open door, glancing in at a decadent living room, where youâre sprawled over a black leather couch. This isnât easier. This hurts, and it hurts more as he forces himself to close the distance between you.
Youâre still asleep. Youâve been unconscious ever since that grenade went off, and itâs for the best, really; getting out of that place was⊠messy. Sylusâs shoulder still aches, the blood on his shirt now crusty and dark. Some of itâs his. Some of itâs yours.
Heâs not sure why heâs still wearing it.
The twins did a pretty good job of patching you up, butâ looking over youâ he would have done better. It was his role, after all. His duty to you, or maybe just a reason to get close to you. He couldnât do it today. Couldnât touch you, no matter how noble the intention. And a little part of him was glad for the excuse; his hands always shake.
A blanket is half on your legs, half on the floor, and Sylus stoops to collect the edge of it. He draws it over your shoulder, adjusting it around your armsâ at rest by your face. Heâs close, now, and heâŠ
He canât help himself. When has he ever been able to help himself? He lifts his hand slowly; he wants to kiss you. Even though your blood is still drying on his shirt and itâs all his fault.
âŠ
Someoneâs hand is on your face.
The touch draws you back into consciousness, tender, careful, then suddenly sharp. âAh,â you hiss. âSylus?â Always first on your mind and your lips.
âNot even close,â quips the shadow above you.
âKieran?â
âBingo.â Â
You use your hand to block some of the roomâs light as you open your eyesâ a birdlike silhouette taking shape through the gaps in your fingers. âWhereâs Sylus?â you ask, teeth clenching as the twin applies a thin strip of surgical tape to a cut on your cheek. âIs he ok?â
âSheesh, relax. Heâs fine,â Kieran tuts, then seems to reconsider, âwellâŠâ
âHeâs brooding,â chimes a voice from behind you. âOut on the balcony.â Luke.
You rub at your eyes, still drowsy with sleep. âWhyâs he brooding? What did you do?â
âTold him he traumatised you,â they speak in unison.
âWhat?! Why would you say something like that?â
âBecause itâs true,â Kieran shrugs. âThatâs why you and boss couldnât, you knowâŠâ He twinkles his fingers.
Resonate? Ugh. You slide your feet onto the floor, sitting up straight for a solid second before you bury your face in your hands, omitting a few, pained whines. This is such a mess, and it only got worse while you were asleep. First that stupid grenade, now the twins.
A hand pats at your back. âThere, there,â Luke soothes.
You turn to glare at him. His hand retreats.
Forget it; you have to find Sylus.
âŠ
You step out onto the balcony, head full of apologies youâve had all of a minute to prepare, and it isnât enough. It felt fitting, in the middle of a shootoutâ everything was allowed to be frantic and from the heart. Here itâs calm, and if you ruin somethingâ break anythingâ itâs going to be obvious. Thereâs no other violence to blame.
Sylus must hear you join him, but he doesnât turn. Heâs leant forwards against the rail, one arm folded upon it, the other outstretched: sporting a glass of liquor that hangs from the tips of his fingers and that he swirls gently, his gaze far away.
The twins really werenât kidding.
âHey,â you greet, and itâs sort of pathetic, but you donât know what else to say.
âHey,â Sylus returns, âare youââ he looks back at you over his shoulderâ âare you alright?â
âYeah,â you smile warmly. âI mean, the twins are giving me a headache, but thatâs, like, standard.â Â
He smiles back: a courtesy. Youâve seen him grin through almost every type of pain imaginable, but this one is new. Think about what Luke and Kieran said. What he must be thinking. âSylus, Iââ
âYou donât have to explain,â he stops you, turning his body towards you. âHonestly, Iâd⊠rather you didnât.â
âWhy?â
âWhy?â he chuckles, masking a deeper hurt as he lifts his glass to his lips. âYouâre really going to make me say it?â
You are; you hold his gaze as he takes a deliberately slow sip of his drink. He smirks, surrenders at once and admits: âIâm really not that strong, sweetie. Thatâs why.â
âWhat if I want to explain?â
The smirk falters, and his eyes make their own, sad, silent confession. If you want to explain? Heâll let you. Heâll stand here, listening patiently while you call him a thing of nightmares. While you break him, bit by tortuous bit, by reminding him just how frightening he is.
He turns back to the view, shrugs, but none of the tension leaves his shoulders. âGo on, then.â
âSylus?â
âMmm?â
âYou donât scare me, you know.â
His hand tightens around his glass. âDonât.â
âDonât what?â
âPity me,â he grimaces. âI donât need it. I know what I am. Iâd just⊠forgotten what I was to you.â
Your captor. Your monster. Except that was a lifetime ago and heâs been so many more things to you since then. Tell him. âSylusâŠâ
âI felt it,â he snaps, because your voice is still so reluctant, and heâs going to save you the trouble. âWhen we tried to resonate, I felt itâ your fearâ just as deep as it used to be. I heard that same voice in your head, the one saying you wouldnât let me in, couldnât let me in, so donât tell me I donât scare you, sweetie.â The term of endearment tastes sour, you can tell. âI know how you feel. I knowââ
âI like you, Sylus.â
ââŠWhat?â
You couldnât take it anymore. âI like you,â you say again, and your heart is beating too quickly for eloquence, so you just have simplicity. âYou donât scare me at all, Sy. I care about you. A lot.â
Sylus stares at you, his eyes wide. Thereâs no confidence. No smile or drawn-out breath of relief. He sets his glass aside on the railing, gaze leaving yours for a moment, and you get the feeling he needs that moment as much as he needed the drink itself.
Then he looks at you again. Asks in a way that makes you ache: âdo you mean it?â
Look at him. Your throat stings. âOf course I mean it.â
âSay it again.â
âI mean it, Sylus. I care aboutââ
His lips are on yours and the rest of your words are lost in his mouth. You, you say with the way you kiss him back, soft and slow, like youâre relishing something that might slip away. You, you insistâ your hand finding his face, his hair, as he kisses you deeper, and you, you, you, when he doesnât stop.
âIs this alright?â he murmurs, his fingers around your chin and his thumb tugging at your bottom lip.
âMmm,â you confirm, equally breathless.
He laughs as he withdraws a little, still caressing your face like youâre something of a dream. âYouâre not making this easy, kitten.â
âWorried you might traumatise me again?â Â Â Â
It's a low blow. He scoffs. âLuke and Kieran saidââ
âLuke and Kieran once bought arts-and-crafts feathers for Mephisto because they thought the colours would make him, and I quote: more aerodynamic.â You pinch his ear playfully. âI canât believe you let them get to you.â
âI know,â he groans, lifting your hand so he can press chaste kisses along the line of your knuckles. âNot my finest moment.â He guides your palm to his cheekâ leans into it as he leans into an idea. âThey said you hated my eyes,â he pouts.
You canât help giggling. He frowns. âI meanâ aww, no,â you scramble, but youâre still laughing. You canât stop. âYour eyes are⊠yeah. So pretty.â
âYou had to think about it?â
âThere were just too many adjectives, yâknow? I was struggling toââ
He kisses you again, saving you: crushing your laughter with his own, lightheaded smile. His hand finds yours as his lips move against you, your fingers interlocking as you resonateâ chasing an instinct, a need to be impossibly closerâ and you let him see everything. Feel everything.
Itâs a mad tangle of opposites. Heaven. Hell. Life. Death. You donât know what any of it means, but itâs yours and itâs his and it doesnât scare you half as much as it should. Sylus breaks your kiss. He pushes his forehead against your own with a sigh of contentment, and it doesnât scare him, either. Â
Savour each second. Think of some better adjectives, while you still have the time.
Heâs going to earn every single one.
âŠ
âšEpilogueâš
Inside, staring out through the floor-to-ceiling windows that separate the room from the balcony, Luke and Kieran stand, looking awfully smug. Â Â
âMission accomplished,â Kieran nods, flipping closed his notepad, aptly titled: 101 Ways To Get Boss Laid! (There are only, currently, fifty-two.)
Lukeâs arms are folded. âWeâre like, the best wingmen ever.â
Kieran is silent. He repeats carefully: âWingmen. Wingmen.â
The beaks of the crow masks gradually turn to face one-another. Thereâs a mutual epiphany, and both twins almost fall over laughing.

me and your mama - rafe cameron
Baby daddy! Rafe x Baby mama! Maybank! Reader
Masterlist
Rafe Cameron Masterlist
More Baby Daddy! Rafe
Summary:
you know that i love you
so let me into your heart
Rafe spends a day with his girls, and maybe confesses some feelings.
Requested
Warnings:
None really, kissing/making out, just fluff and a bit of angst
Word Count: 2,913
A/N:
It is seriously so exciting that you guys are loving baby daddy! Rafe as much as I am. Thank you so much for interacting and requesting!
â
âDada?â
That had been the soundtrack to the entire morning. Iris had followed you around on her short little legs, the only word she wanted to say today being âdadaâ. It was driving you crazy, but at the same time you felt guilty, knowing she was missing her dad.
After about the 105th âdadaâ, you sighed, pulling your cell phone out of your pocket. âOkay, baby girl. Letâs call daddy.â
The phone didnât ring long before you heard his low voice over the line.
âHey,â Rafe greeted, sounding bored.
âHey,â you said back, phone stuck between your ear and shoulder as you cut up a banana for Irisâ snack.
âWhatâs up?â
âYour daughter misses you,â you said, glancing down at the toddler watching you with her full attention. She reached a chubby hand up and you handed her a banana slice.
âYeah?â Rafe asked, a chuckle in his voice. âI miss her, too.â
âDo you want to come over?â you asked him. You rinsed the knife you had been using in the sink before dropping it in to properly wash later.
âYeah, Iâll come over,â he said. You heard him groan as he stood from wherever heâd been sitting.
âLong night?â you asked. Iris trailed after you as you walked to her high chair with her plate in hand. You lifted her and sat her in it, buckling her in.
âSomething like that.â
You rolled your eyes, not even wanting to know what he meant by that. Iris giggled up at you with her mouth full of banana, making you laugh.
âIâll see you in a few.â
By the time Iris finished eating and you got her and her chair all cleaned up, the front door was opening. Those heavy footsteps sounded as he walked down the hall, finding the two of you in the kitchen.
Irisâ whole face lit up when Rafe walked into the room. She squealed as she ran to him, arms up in the air to be picked up.
Rafe laughed as he scooped her into his arms, hugging her close. âHey, baby girl. I heard you missed me.â
Iris wrapped her tiny hand around Rafeâs nose. âDada!â
Rafe laughed again. âThatâs my nose.â He grabbed at her little one. âAnd thatâs your nose.â Iris laughed like it was the funniest thing he could have done.
You couldnât help the smile on your face at the sight of Rafe and Iris. They loved each other so much, it was clear to anyone who looked for even a second.
âDid you have plans today?â you asked him, leaning against the counter as you watched.
âNo plans,â he said. He turned to look at you then. âWhy, did you want to do something?â
You shrugged. âI donât know, I thought it might be nice to get out of the house.â
Rafe looked down at the little girl in his arms. âWhat do you think, Iris? Do you wanna go to the park?â
âArk!â she agreed, eyes shining bright.
âI think she likes the idea,â Rafe said, shooting you a smirk.
âPark it is, then,â you said, smiling to yourself as you pushed off the counter. âLet me get changed.â
You changed into something that felt a little cuter to be going out in public, but still casual enough to run around at the park. You settled on a pair of shorts and a crop top.
You came out of your bedroom to see Rafe playing with Iris on the living room floor. You smiled at them, then moved into the kitchen again. You figured you might as well make a whole thing out of it. You grabbed some ingredients and began to make lunches for the three of you.
The sounds of Irisâ wild giggles filled the house as you made sandwiches, cut up fruit, and grabbed some little bags of chips and snacks from the cabinet. You grabbed the small insulated cooler from next to the back door and packed the lunch in it, along with some sodas, juice for Iris, and some beers for Rafe.
You were grateful that Rafe kept a car seat installed in his truck, because moving and reinstalling it was the biggest pain in the ass. He carried Iris out of the house while you carried her diaper bag on your shoulder and the cooler in your hands, along with a blanket. He hooked her into her car seat, talking to her softly and making her giggle the whole time. Usually she just screams in your face when you try to get her in the car seat.
Rafe drove you all to the park on Figure 8. The windows were down in the truck because it was such a beautiful day. The salty wind whipped your hair around your face, but it felt so nice you didnât care.
Iris began kicking her feet and cheering as Rafe pulled into the parking lot of the park. You both laughed at her excitement and he shut off the truck, both of you hopping out.
Rafe put Iris down as you reached the grass of the park, and she took off as fast as her little legs would carry her. Rafe trailed behind her, laughing.
âWhere you going?â he called after her. She only squealed in response, running up to the swing set and reaching for the baby swing. She looked back at her dad expectantly.
Rafe lifted her up and sat her in the swing, pushing her high enough that she was having the time of her life but not so high he was scared of her getting hurt. When she was tired of the swings he let her down and she ran to the slide. You and Rafe each held one of her hands as she slid down, quickly running back to do it again and again.
âGetting hungry?â you asked her after she had been playing for an hour. It was nearing nap time, too.
âHungy,â she confirmed, and you noticed her wiping her eyes.
Rafe scooped her up in his arms while you grabbed the blanket and cooler and you found a comfortable place in the grass, a good distance away from other families at the park. You spread the blanket and the three of you sat down, making yourselves comfortable.
You opened the cooler and started grabbing Irisâ food. You set it all up for her and she began eating right away, tiny fingers grabbing for a chunk of strawberry first.
You passed Rafe his sandwich and chips, which he took with a grateful look.
âBeer or soda?â you asked him.
âBeer would be good,â he said, predictably. You passed him the bottle and he opened it with ease, taking a few big sips.
You unwrapped your own sandwich and took a bite, taking in the scenery around you as you ate your lunch. It really was a beautiful day, and it had been too long since you just spent time outdoors, in nature. It felt peaceful, the air smelled clean. You sipped your soda, enjoying the breeze on your skin.
The best view of all was right next to you. You took in the image of your daughter, sitting comfortably leaned back against Rafe while she ate her lunch. She was dressed in a little pair of overalls today, a pink shirt underneath.
Your eyes traveled up to Rafe, looking off into the distance as he drank his beer. He must have been thinking the same thing you were, his eyes glancing over the scene surrounding you. You couldnât help but notice how blue his eyes looked in the light, the way they were slightly squinted in the sun. His big, strong hand wrapped around his beer bottle. The strong muscles of his arms, his chestâŠ
You were getting carried away.
You tried to shake it off, but then he turned at the last moment, eyes meeting yours. He smiled at you, and it made your heart thump harder in your chest. You wondered if he would always have this effect over you.
Iris fell asleep after lunch. She just curled up right on the blanket and passed out before either of you had even realized.
âSheâs so beautiful,â Rafe mused, gently brushing some of his daughterâs soft brown hair out of her face without waking her.
âShe looks just like you,â you pointed out.
âI know,â he said. âLucky girl.â
You shoved him in the shoulder hard, and he laughed, nearly falling over into the grass.
âYouâre so annoying,â you laughed, shaking your head.
He was still laughing as he plucked another beer from the cooler. He opened it and lifted it to his lips. He reached forward and tucked your hair behind your ear.
âShe would have been lucky to look like you, too,â he said, and you laughed lightly. âSeriously. Youâre the hottest girl on the island, Maybank.â
You felt your cheeks heating up, looking down at your legs instead of at him. âThat is not true.â
âYou think Iâd lie about that?â Rafe asked. He continued to drink his beer, his eyes never leaving your face.
You shrugged.
You heard Rafe sigh, then you felt his hand on the side of your face, turning it to look at him. He was so much closer than you realized when you turned, and before you could open your lips to speak, he was kissing you.
Your eyes fluttered closed as you kissed him back. His hand landed on the back of your head, pulling you closer to him as he deepened the kiss, tongue slipping into your mouth. His tongue slowly dragged along yours, and you accidentally moaned against him, causing his lips to tilt up in a smirk. He didnât stop kissing you though, dominating the kiss and exploring your mouth with his tongue.
Your hand rested on his thigh, the other on the blanket as you leaned your weight against it. You tilted your head to kiss him more naturally, his fingers playing with the hair at the back of your neck.
When he finally pulled away he rested his forehead against yours. He said your name, low, nearly pained.
You felt the same pain in your chest. You wanted so badly for things to be different with Rafe, and you knew he wanted that too. But you had both agreed you couldnât be together.
âRafeâŠâ you whispered back. His nose brushed against yours, your faces still so close as he just rested there, like he was thinking.
âWhy are we doing this?â he finally asked, his voice quiet, nearly a whisper.
âDoing what?â you asked, not sure what exactly he was referring to.
âPretending we donât love each other.â
You froze. You felt like all the air had been sucked from your body. Rafeâs hand left your hair and grabbed onto your hand. âRafeâŠâ you breathed out again. You didnât know what to say.
âItâs kind of bullshit, isnât it?â he continued, forehead still pressed against yours. It would take only the slightest movement for your lips to meet again.
You agreed. It was bullshit. You were tired of it, too. But you and Rafe had also mutually agreed that you werenât right together. Your brief relationship had been toxic, dramatic, exhausting. You didnât want to go through it again.
âYeah,â you said simply. His thumb rubbed across the back of your hand.
âI want to be with my daughter every day. I want to be with you every day.â Rafe looked into your eyes then and youâd never seen him look so serious. Well, a couple of times, but it was rare. It was enough to scare you.
âI want that too, but Rafe-â
âWhy donât we just try again?â
You closed your eyes tightly. You thought you might cry if you didnât. âWe canât.â
Rafe scoffed, looking away, back into the distance of the park in front of you. He ran a hand over his buzz cut, a sign of the stress he was feeling.
âI know,â he said finally. âI know.â
You both sat there in silence for a little while, listening to the sounds of kids screaming at the park, birds in the trees, Irisâ soft breathing as she slept between you.
âI just thinkâŠâ Rafe began again. âMaybeâŠit could be different this time.â
You wanted to believe that more than anything. You wanted to take the chance. But you didnât think youâd survive the heartbreak when it inevitably didnât work again. You and Rafe were already tied together for the rest of your lives, something that had taken you long enough to come to terms with after the initial breakup. You had never wanted to see him again at the time, and now you had a successful co-parenting relationship. You were terrified to lose the peace you had come to find in your shared lives, returning back to the chaos.
âI want that,â you said. âI really do. But it just feels like a bad idea.â
Rafe nodded. His face didnât betray any of his emotions, but you could tell they were swirling in his head. He finished off his second beer. âIâm never gonna stop loving you, you know.â
Your heart twisted in your chest at his words. Because you knew exactly how he felt. âIâll never stop loving you either, Rafe.â
You saw his jaw clench as you spoke the words. The muscles in his arm flexed as he clenched and unclenched his fist. He was holding back. He had more to say.
âWe should get her home,â he said instead, and he was packing the cooler and bags before you could say anything else. He gently picked up Irisâ sleeping form as you grabbed the other supplies and the blanket. Iris curled against his chest, not waking from her sleep for even a second. You had been blessed with an amazing sleeper for a baby.
The drive home was more awkward, the carefree joy from earlier suffocated by this tension. You looked at Rafeâs hand on the wheel as his other arm rested on the open window. You looked away, making an effort to stop thinking about how attractive he was when you were trying to get over him.
Maybe youâd be happier getting under him.
You shook that thought away.
Back at the house, Rafe carried Iris inside, taking her to her nursery and laying her down in her crib without waking her while you collapsed on the couch. You were surprised when he joined you a minute later, thinking heâd leave as soon as he got her down.
âI had a good time with you guys. I like when we get to do stuff together.â
âMe too,â you said honestly. Rafeâs hand rested on your bare thigh, and he squeezed once. You looked over at him to find him already staring at you.
He moved closer, slowly, giving you ample time to push him away. You didnât. When his lips touched yours again he kissed you passionately, hand resting on your waist and pulling you closer. So close that you ended up throwing your leg over his lap, straddling him.
He groaned against your lips as he wrapped his arms around your waist, holding you close and pulling your hips down against his as you kissed. Your arms rested around his neck, chest pressed against his. His big hands slid down to your ass and he grabbed hard.
You gasped into the kiss, Rafe taking it as an opportunity to slip his tongue in your mouth again. His hands were beginning to creep up your shirt when you pulled back. âRafeâŠâ
âCome on, right here on the couch before JJ gets home from work,â Rafe practically begged, his eyes dark with lust and his hands touching all over you. You closed your eyes and leaned your head back, fighting a battle with your own body.
âCanât,â you force yourself to say, and the word sounds as pained as you feel. âWe canât.â
Rafe leaned forward, head falling against your chest as he sighed. He placed a few more kisses on the tops of your breasts peeking out of your top before pressing one more to your lips.
âOkay,â he conceded.
You climbed off his lap, although neither of you wanted you to. Rafeâs hand lingered on your thigh as you sat next to him, rubbing your skin affectionately.
âI guess Iâll go then,â he said. He pulled his phone out of his pocket, checking texts and anything else heâs missed since he hadnât touched the phone while he was with you. Topperâs invited him to some party, which doesnât sound like a bad way to spend this night. A good way to forget.
You looked at him sadly, wanting to tell him no, stay, and maybe also please fuck me on the couch like you were just about to. But you donât.
Rafe leaned forward and pressed a lingering kiss on your cheek. âIf you change your mind, you know where to find me.â His voice rumbled right against your ear.
You didnât move as he stood and left the house. You didnât move when you heard his truck start and the gravel kicking up as he drove off. You fingers itched for your phone, to tell him to please come back no matter how humiliating that would be.
Instead your fingers reach up and touch your lips, still tingling from his kiss like heâd never left.

pairing: lando norris x fem!reader
word count: 2k+
summary: your relationship with lando through the teenage years
warnings: pda, established relationship, mostly fluff, some angst | i know lando moved to glastonbury later in his life but đ€« i also wrote this in 2 hours instead of doing because i got excited and had an idea
   You and Lando had first met when you were teenagers. Him being a lanky teenage boy with puffy cheeks and curly hair, and you being a young girl with frizzy hair and a youthful look in your eyes. It wasnât a surprise to anyone when you first started dating, itâs like you both were on the same wavelength.
You still remember the day you met him ââ how could you not? You two went to the same school so you knew who each other was, and you had heard of him from people around the town talking about his karting career. Your parents were family friends with the Norrisâs, and they never failed to talk about how proud they were of their children.
It was the start of school after the 2013 summer break. You had quite a small friend group in school so when you had classes with no one you were friends with, you tended to be quiet and focus on your school work. That resulted in you being forced to sit next to the rowdy kids. Why? You didnât know. Itâs not like it changed them, and it just bothered you. It was one of those times, and it was Lando who was put next to you. Him and his friend group tended to be the disruptive bunch. They werenât bad people or bad at school, just got a little too loud at times and forgot to pay attention.
You were sat in the middle row of your math class. The seat next to you was empty at the start of class, but at the end it wasnât. Lando and his friends got a little too loud and he was âpunishedâ by being put next to you so he couldnât talk with his friends. You looked at him when he made his way over, but that was it. He was cute ââ you could admit it. And it didnât hurt that someone cute was being put next to you, but you shook your feelings off and forced yourself to focus. At them end of class when you were grabbing your things, a hand poked your shoulder. You turned around and came face-to-face with the Norris boy. He looked a little nervous, fidgety and a small smile on his face. You tilted your head. âHey ââ I uh ââ didnât have enough time to finish some of the notes. Do you mind if I borrow some of yours?â
You were a little surprised, you didnât think he cared that much about school. Most kids wouldnât bother getting down a little bit you missed ââ not even you ââ but he did. You smiled and nodded. âSure,â you told him as you grabbed the paper out of your binder and gave it to him, âjust return it once youâre done?â He nodded. The next day in class, he walked over to you and gave the paper pack, and you figured he would go back to his friends because the seat want permanent, but he didnât. He put his bag on the ground and sat in the seat next to you. He did that, every day, for the rest of the year.
You two got to know each other well. You learned more about his competitive karting career and his family, while you told him about your family and friends. Nothing ever happened between you two, you were just friends. You had a crush on him, but you convinced yourself it was your mind tricking you because it was your first friend that was a boy. He thought the same, but he didnât not believe his, he just didnât act on it.
It was summer break, a year after you met him, when you realized you did like him. You were chatting with your grandma at her house as you were helping her sting stuff around the house. She had asked about your school semesters and how it was. You rambled on and on, not realizing that you mostly takes about Lando. It wasnât until you were putting one of the last boxes down for her that it finally hit. âYou must really like that boy, no?â You looked at her weird. âAll you did was talk about him. You must like him.â It was when she said that that you had a moment of realization. After you finished helping her you went home to your mom and talked to her, confused on how to deal with this newfound information. She just laughed and gave you a hug, telling you that almost every teenage girl goes through this with someone in their life. That made you feel a bit better.
Your friendship turned into something more a couple weeks after that. The Norris family had invited your family to come watch one of Landoâs races at Buckmore Park. Your parents agreed as they wanted to catch up . . . You agreed because you wanted to see Lando. He did well, coming 5th place. You could tell he wasnât happy about, but you were. You and your family met up with him at the end of the race. He wasnât looking too happy, but when he saw you his face lit up. When you congratulated him he blushed. Your families talked for a bit ââ mostly about how summer break was going ââ and you were about to leave when Lando called out your name.
Your family continued to leave, saying they would meet up with you at the car with your mom winking at you. You blushed. At first there was some awkward silence, and then he asked âwould you like to go on a date?â You were a bit shocked, not expecting it, and you were nervous. What did people do on dates anyway? You know adults went out to eat and drink but you were fifteen! You completely forgot that you had to answer his question, and he started sputtering out words saying that you didnât have to, and he was sorry before you interrupted him with a âyes.â It was his turn to look surprise.
You went on a date the next week, both of you unknowingly doing the same thing and panicking to your parents beforehand. It went fine, a bit awkward ââ obviously ââ but you thought it was cute. You went out for icecream and walked around Bristol. Halfway through the date he slipped his hand into yours, and you accepted it, but didnât dare to look him in the eye.
After that, you two were inseparable. You two were always together, and practically lived at each others houses. Sometimes ââ for weeks on end ââ your parents never saw you a lot because you were always at Landoâs house. His parents always updated yours on how you were, and they trusted you. During an interview for Drive to Survive, your parents swore during those times they only saw you in the morning and night, the rest of the time you were with Lando. This would switch between you staying at his and him staying at yours.
Though Lando wouldnât admit it when he was a teenager, he would do anything for you. If you asked him to jump off a bridge, he wouldnât even ask why, heâs just do it. There are so many pictures on your phone and Polaroids of him in âembarrassingâ situations ââ like one where he had a face mask on and his nails painted. You keep that one in the back of your phone case. He would let you braid his hair, practice makeup on him, help him with his skincare, and so many other things. This would always be in the secrecy of your room and when your families werenât there because he dreaded the day his family saw him like that.
He had no idea that you had shown his sisters and parents almost every single one. They promised to keep it quiet, and they did. You also know they wonât tell him that they have some of those pictures on their phones. Itâs a secret between you and them, a need to know thing.
Whenever you had sleepovers at his house, you would stay with his sisters because you werenât allowed to be with him ââ for good reason ââ and because you loved his sisters. As you got older, you bonded more with them, helping them out with boy problems and girl problems, because everyone had those girls in high school who made your life a living hell. You broke down crying when you found out they were moving to Glastonbury. How would you survive without not being able to hug your boyfriend? How would you cope without the gossip sessions with his sisters? The talks about your life over helping Cisca with dinner and talking politics with Adam? Laughing at embarrassing moments of Lando with his brother?
Before that, you had put off getting your license. You walked or took buses to most places, and it saved you money. When you found out they were moving though, you made it your lifeâs mission it get your license and a car. You were on moving day, helping the family with setting things up and cleaning up the place. You still remember the dinner you had that night. It wasnât fancy, just Chinese takeout on a table in the half put together living room, but it was one of the moments where you truly felt like family. It wasnât that you hadnât before, but it was the private ness of the situation that really hit your heart. You begged to stay over, not caring that it was a school night, but you couldnât. You hugged everyone goodbye with teary eyes, kissing Lando, and promising to be back soon.
And you were. When you had that car, you spent an unbelievable amount of money on gas. You drove to his house almost every weekend. Sometimes he would come over to your house, but it was mostly you going over there out of convenience. If Lando wanted to go to yours, heâd probably have to pile all of his siblings in the car, while you didnât have to do that. Besides driving to Glastonbury, your car was also used as a pick me up. Whenever something happened with his sisters, youâd be there in a heartbeat, telling them to get in ââ telling Lando he canât come with him grumbling something under his breath ââ and youâd go and grab food. Whatever they needed, you were there ready to do it? Boy problems? Junk food and a sad playlist. School problems? Listening to them vent and giving them advice. Period problems? That depended on that they wanted. You even remember one time on March break Flo had an experience with a boy and you took her to a rage room . . . It was so fun, and you definitely did it again with Cisca.
While you were there for all the important events in Landoâs life, he was the same. He was there when your grandma died, and you swore he was one of the few things that kept you together. He was there when you graduated high school and got accepted into your dream school.
Your relationship stayed the same throughout his whole career, you to where you both were now, living in Monaco. You still acted like teenagers, jokingly fighting over little things and teasing each other. Your love baver wavered, it stayed the same for each other, maybe even became stronger. There were periods in your relationship like when he first started in Formula One and you moved to college that it was tricky, but you go through it. You always would.
As you sat on the sofa in your home and twirled the ring on your finger, you remembered the whole of your relationship and the future of it. You were broken out of your trance by a kiss on your head. You hummed, not turning to look at him. âSheâs gone to bed. Sheâs been changed and given her bottle. You smiled and looked up at him, âthank you.â He kissed you on your lips, âof course. You ready to go to bed, Mrs. Norris?â You chuckled and got up, walking around to the couch to meet him in his arms.
âAlways, Mr. Norris, always.â

I hate being politically knowledgeable so I'll give some real quick off the cuff reasons why you shouldn't doom scroll but should be a little hopeful and stay engaged, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take a break over long periods, I'm basically just laying out some potentials for why you should be joyful towards 2026.
* 2/3rds of government would be needed to enact a large chunk of Project 2025 not counting outright SCOTUS intervention. This matters as for the SCOTUS to even exist as an institution Trump can never be more powerful than they are, putting their interests square opposite of Trump's want to be a dictator. Similarly the business wall street interests that propelled Trump to this point will be facing the harsh realities of an unstable economy long before anything even happens. As Trump becomes more unglued he will lash out more and more which will put Wallstreet, that only wanted him for the immediate sell off we're seeing now, pressed between a dictator wannabe's wishes and a US that is even more isolated from it's allies and trade partners while the citizenry themselves are forced to buckle down due to the very little high tariffs that will double the price of everyday goods forcing companies to either drastically drop prices and sell at a loss or keep prices high like they are now and push it off on the consumer who will buy infinitely less as a result. The most scary part of the Republican agenda is a deck of cards that falls over predicated entirely on Republicans ability to maintain the balance between worshipping corporations and keeping the peons angry and content enough to not strike out.
* 2026 is an inevitable Dem flip for 2 reasons. 1, people will actually live with Trump again and will remember exactly why so many people found him unpalatable in the first place. You can also be sure that any RNC mandate to ban say "Porn", that being anything queer or woman health centric, IVF, Abortion and the rolling back of social safety nets will inevitably cause innocent people to die and shell shock the exact same people who voted for him this time around. After all it's incredibly hard to be Latino, MAGA and happy when your own elected officials hate your guts and very real people you know are being deported in one of the most expensive and brutal moves in American history, rivaling Asian internment camps. 2, none of this is predicted on Trump doing anything more than what he already has promised to do and it is not reliant on Republicans being actual, considerate human beings. Even looking at the vote currently lots of voters chose the couch over voting for Harris with Trump propelling his margins in large part due to Fox News, Rogan, Musk, etc. Dems for their part can just play the fact he is killing any indictments against him, can play the populous card as blue dog conservative l institualist Dems is more dead than ever before and actually focus on the issues that get Dems out to vote, and any and every gaff is just going to be free fuel for Dems. Even more, legacy media has effectively scorned more and more Americans who are now engaging alternative media sources like Brian Tyler Cohen alongside other podsters. I include him specifically due to his high quality but you have the Pod Save America guys, you have The Bulwark, all the way to the obvious loony bin manosphere with the first three being examples of HOW Dems can appeal and win future races while the last one is a highlight of a soon to be burned content mill, most notably because, again, it's going to be real hard to hate women that much when women you know and love have to suffer for no reason. You can also guarantee that the worse parts of Trump's base can and will be reinvigorated to be horrible people which is, again, part of why he lost in 2020 to begin with.
* I mentioned Wallstreet, courts and businesses earlier but it is no secret that the incompetency in each of these places is seeping through to a pretty forceful change towards unions, but even past that they have hit the point where they are the dog who caught the speeding car. Taking the business interests first, consumers have become more and more direct with their connection with businesses not being predicated on convenience nor price but on morality. When Target and Bud Light caved to altright extremists who believe the very idea that different people shouldn't be allowed to exist that opened up a Pandora's box that has seen Target and Bud Light continue to lose business, not because Republicans were their core base, but because the common person believes that queer people are acceptable while treating them as second class is not acceptable. Tesla and Musk are on the up in the stock market but the reality is that Tesla itself has been seeing less and less sales vs 100% tariff Chinese EV's due to Musk's extremism. The immediate bump they're seeing now is great for the current rot economy where infinite growth is the only acceptable outcome for investors, but there is absolutely a potential for these companies to scorn so many people that they become persona non grata and can't continue to operate. We've seen the same thing with anti DEI measures and book bans leading to less teachers and schools, abortion bans leading to less workers period, you combo that with the guaranteed hyper inflation the tarriffs will cause and the financial strife we're looking at an economic down turn that a golden parachute can't save you from, mostly because the people themselves will want a lot more than they were demanding prior. For Courts, the overturning of the Chevron decision, combo'd with the historically low effort supreme court means that more and more laws are becoming impossible to enforce, requiring constant SCOTUS intervention, but if that keeps up like we are already seeing it do so the courts will become paralyzed and cause unrest that we have not seen before, again, as the stalling tactics they used to save Trump will now be the reason for people to be subjected to unjust laws waiting on appeal. The SCOTUS, for their part, is guaranteed to be Republican majority who can and will overstep yet again like they did with Roe, but they can't cede power fully to Republicans/Trump because if they do they will cease to have any power, because dictators don't need a court because they are the court. This tightrope means that any dissent is very likely going to cause these current supporters of the RNC being forced to buck the current support they give. This will be made even worse for them when inevitably Trump pardons January 6th insurrectionists, his cronies and himself, reigniting the heated eyes on the courts without the safety net of Dem institutionalists who will likely lose all power following the collapse of the Harris and Biden campaign. Reminder that it was a nigh gift to Republicans that Biden appointed Merrick Garland, a feckless, cowardly institutionalist himself that was so scared of Republican name calling he refused to actually try and charge Republicans WE KNOW we're involved with the insurrection in order to seem nonpartisan, the miscalculation is that there will BE no more feckless conservative Dem institutionalists as the main two are no longer in the running for leadership with Obama and Clinton having now burned every perceivable bridge to guide the party. I won't say this will lead to a Bernie progressive party, but it will absolutely be more populist and you're going to see way less outreach to Republicans and far more to actual voters who actually matter. Republicans win on low turnout, this was a low turnout election, and NOTHING increases turnout like rage, and honestly? American Dems have a lot more to be angry about that Republicans at this point given the complete and total failure of every single institution meant to act as a check on the President and Political officials.
* The only bill Republicans could pass among themselves was a tax cut for the rich from 2016 to 2018, with a lot of their "Accomplishments" being pen and paper executive orders which are just as easily made as they are broken. Their current R House Congress is one of the least productive in history. Do you truly believe they can actually pull off any dangerous bills or constitutional amendments without absolutely fucking themselves over, especially now that McConnell is out of the picture in Senate and any competent Republican in the House like Cheey, the only person who was capable of getting Republicans the SCOTUS and the only person capable of pretending the party has any morals? The answer is they can't. I have no doubts they'll pass some horrible shit, but will they have to kill the filibuster? Will they have a house majority? If they have a house majority by how much and will they play nice long enough among themselves to pass the bills? After all Gaetz and other MAGA Republicans are not popular among their cowardly peers and their cowardly peers have bucked them before. If you ask me I don't think they can. The most dangerous things they can do involve federal agencies and state governments, but if they do those dangerous things it'll piss people off and we'll go right back to the original point that a pissed off population will be extra bad for Republicans due to the fact that institutionalist Dems are now completely out of favor.
Long worded way to say that you can be hopeful for the midterms. I know this country seems like a horrible place filled with horrible people, cause it is, but that doesn't mean horrible people out number people who care about trans people, queer people, women, POC, etc. The issue is getting those people to vote and not just sit on the couch and it also lies in actively talking the insane Republicans back into reality, a thing they desperately don't want to do thanks to Fox News and Republican media sources. I'm hopeful for 2026, I'm just extremely angry that very real, very innocent people who didn't have to die, who weren't going to die, will, because too many people would rather they die than a Black Asian woman be President. Like I can't even begin to state my disgust that we're back at 2016 again, but like with 2018, 2026 will not go well for Republicans who, even in this election were doing worse among the exact same demographics they had in 2016. A rural vote may be worth 100 votes where I live, but make no mistake that they can and will feel the squeeze that they brought upon themselves, and hopefully they'll learn this time. And if they don't, well, I hold the same common courtesy I do for Nazis; I won't even piss on them if they are fire, cause you can't keep hurting innocent people and expect infinite kindness in return.

âł DRESS TO IMPRESS? â
đŒynopsis. in which you convince your boyfriend to play dress to impress with you, will they slay the runway? đčairing. enha!member x female!reader đ°enre. fluff, crack, trendy. đarnings. curse words, not proofread, riki is that annoying player and almost all the members are bad at this game ă
ă
, english is not my 1st language. đđŹ. 1k+ đ¶asterlist.
⥠đȘmelie's đ·ote: oh gosh i had so much fun writing this, especially because i am addicted to this game lol anyway, do you guys have any headcanon request? i am curious...
â đ±eeseung: gets upset but doesn't quit playing.
you might be wondering why heeseung changed his mood like that, and that's because placing on the podium in dress to impress is hard â for him. in the beginning, and sometimes unfair. when you told him you wanted to play with him â your boyfriend was feeling very happy and giddy, creating his account the same second, not knowing how he would feel a few rounds later...
"BRO?! HOW DID SHE PLACED?!" he screamed after standing up from bed while his hands rested against his head, indignant. "LOOK AT ME, I LOOK MUCH PRETTIER!" and heeseung turned his ipad screen at you after laying back on his stomach on bed. "hee, baby... your skin is literally blue, that's not what coquette means..." you replied. "nonsense, even my fit is better! and you placed second you can't say shit! i am not playing this game anymore." he argued, throwing his ipad away from him. "don't quit, continue playing with me," you pouted, waiting for a new round to start. "i'm sorry, baby, but this game is absolutely dog shi- a new round has begun?" when the sound of a new round starting echoed, his mind seemed to have changed. "... yeah?" "okay, maybe one more round won't hurt..."
â đłongseong: gets into arguments with 8 year olds.
jongseong is a good, caring, handsome and mature boyfriend, however, immatureness possesses him when playing dress to impress. just to clear things up you had asked him to play the game with you before, so nothing was new to him â neither to you: hearing him raging about a girl talking shit about his fashion sense. i can't forget to mention that he takes this game very serious â especially when his girlfriend has an awesome ranking.
"look at me, i look so good," "yeah... you do..." you couldn't ignore how terribly your boyfriend's makeup was done. "give me five stars, okay?" "'kay..." "baby, if this girl tells me i look terrible one more time i'll do something really bad." "babe-" " 'you look ugly'...?" he read the chat. open his microphone: "SHUT UP, YOUR FIT LOOKS LIKE A TRASH BAG AND A PIECE OF SHIT JUST HAD A BABY," "JAY! she's a kid!" "and i am eating with this outfit- tha-that's how you guys say right? eat and all...?" "yes, you ate that outfit up babe."
â đłaeyun: you have to be patient.
don't get me wrong, jaeyun is good at games, however, not in this one specifically. it took him about two days just to learn how to walk on roblox's games and how to jump, etc. imagine when you introduced this fashion game which you have time to dress yourself up, oh boy, he was confused. if learning the basics from controlling your avatar on roblox took him days, it took jaeyun a week to understand how to put on items, take them off, where you choose your hair and face... well, it was a pain, but he was able to get through it and play it almost normally.
"babe, why you're skin is grey?" "i didn't know where to change it," shrugs then tries to pose. "oh my god, babe, i showed you where a minute ago!" "okay, chill...! where do i pose though?" "oh my god, jaeyun..."
â đŒunghoon: has lots of difficulties but doesn't give up.
sunghoon is like a mix of heeseung and jake, which means he gets addicted, angry but can't stop playing and still has to be handled with patience and love. with that being said, be prepared to hear a bunch of questions and him leaving and then joining your server a few many times. also! can't forget that sunghoon is still a english learner, so the themes might be misunderstood by him sometimes heh... (á”âáŽâ)
"y/n~" he whines. "i'm done with this game!" leaves "babe, the theme was baggy and you literally dresses up as a trash bag..." "baggy means... bag? what did i do wrong?" "baggy is a style, not a trash bag," "should've told me earlier, y/n!" "hoonie-" "now everyone on the server thinks i am stupid! let's change server, join me now."
â đŒunoo: is the one who places first.
sunoo is undeniably the best dressed on the game among the members, usually winning against you. he has almost all the poses, knows how to layer and is always creative, even reaching top model before you.
"baby, can we play dress to impress together? i'm so close to reach top model." "yeah, su- WAIT! TOP MODEL?!" â ooohhh, i might have forgotten to mention... sunoo plays dress to impress without you sometimes. "baby, just join me 'kay?" "sunshine, explain me how'd you reach top model before me? i play more than you do," "uh... i surely play more than you do, but okay," "wait, wha-" "babyyyy just join my server, i want you to celebrate this with me, alright?" "okay..." your heart softened when you realised he wanted you to be part of his reaching. "can we duo?" you asked. "we can, but just once; i would much rather vote you five (5) stars."
â đłungwon: jungwon.exe stopped working.
jungwon is like jake and oh gosh why i feel like every single one of them is a bit like him?!?! anyway, jungwon would be more than happy to join you, but has already told you that his skills might not really show up in this dressing game â discreetly admitting that he doesn't know how to play it. he actually heard about the game because the other members seem to enjoy it. still, it's just not his cup of tea. however, since you were so excited about him playing with you, sigh, he might make this sacrifice â in which he slowly gets very excited as well.
"wonnie, baby, why are you posing? you have to dress up before the times is up!" you warned him after spotting him on the game. "huh? it doesn't make sense, we have to dress up? where?" "there, baby," you gently took the ipad out of his hands and guided him to the changing booth. "oh... but is too far away from my spawn and why do i walk slower than that girl?" "because she bought a walk faster pack, now dress up wonnie, hurry up...!" "i want to buy that, how do i buy her pack?" "jungwon, dress up now, you have literally one minute." you spoke between your teeth. "okay, okay... y/n, where do i get the items though?" "jungwon..."
â đ»iki: it's that annoying giggly kid who doesn't follow the theme.
if you ever played dress to impress you probably came across to one of those annoying players who never follows the theme, with that, you might refuse to believe riki is this type of player; but trust me, he surely is. and why? because he doesn't take the game that seriously, doing whatever he wants and trolling people â making them believe he's gonna gift them vip or one of the other packs.
"RIKI? HOW'D YOU PLACED FIRST?" "i'm just too good, i guess," your boyfriend shrugged, but you couldn't believe him. "you're lying." "are you saying i am not good at this game?" "..." "y/n," he would call you after suddenly bursting out of laughter. "what?" your annoyed tone of voice echoed and it sounded like his favourite music to his ears. "wanna know how i placed first?" riki looks up at you, hiding just half of his face with his ipad. "mhm..." you hummed, confirming. "i tricked a few girls saying that i would gift them vip if they voted me five (5) stars," he giggled, knowing you were about to get angry at him. "RIKI! you can't do that, imagine if that was me..." you pouted. "oh, yeah? i should've done worse then." "RIKI!" "OKAY! SORRY, enough of riki now, okay? i am baby, not riki..."

You had been friends with Lando for as long as you could rememberâback when the world was simpler, and the only thing that mattered was which video game you were going to play or which movie youâd queue up for a late-night marathon. Youâd met at the race track a few years ago, and the connection had been instantâeasy, comfortable like youâd known each other for years.
But lately, things have been changing. And neither of you was brave enough to address it.
"Hey, you alright?" Lando's voice broke through your thoughts as you fiddled with the edge of your drink, staring into the cup more than you should. He was leaning on the table, casual as ever, but the way his gaze lingered on you for just a fraction too long made your stomach flip.
You blinked, forcing a smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired."
He raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying it. âYou sure? Youâve been kinda off tonight.â
âIâm just... not used to these late nights,â you shrugged, a half-lie, but it was easier than admitting what was going onâyour thoughts had become a jumbled mess of Lando this and Lando that, and you were pretty sure that it wasnât just a passing phase anymore.
Lando tilted his head, clearly considering pushing further, but he just gave a small nod. âWell, if you need me to kick anyoneâs ass for you, just say the word.â
You laughed, trying to shake off the tension. âYouâre such a dork, Norris.â
He grinned, and for a moment, it felt like nothing had changed. Like you were still the same two idiots who spent hours arguing about nothing and everything at the same time. But then, for a split second, you saw the way his eyes softened, and for the briefest of moments, you couldnât shake the feeling that maybe... maybe he wasnât joking about being there for you.
Lando felt a pang in his chest at your wordsâit was so obvious you were deflecting, but he couldnât press any further without giving himself away. The truth was, it was getting harder and harder to ignore the way his heart sped up whenever you were around, the way his skin tingled whenever your hand accidentally brushed against his.
But he couldnât say anything. There was too much at stakeâthe friendship youâd built, the comfort and familiarity of it all. It was too good to lose over a silly, confusing crush.
He sipped his drink, trying to act casual, but he could feel the tension growing between you bothâawkward, charged, like the air before a storm. He wanted to say something, anything, to break the tension, but every opening line he could think of sounded wrong in his head.
Instead, he just settled for watching the way your eyes darted around the room, never really focusing on anything for more than a second. You seemed... off, and the fact that you wouldnât tell him why was eating him alive.
Finally, he couldnât take it anymore. He leaned a little closer, his voice lowering to a whisper. âSeriously, youâre sure youâre alright? You can tell me if somethingâs going on, you know. I mean, weâre friends, right?â
He didnât miss the way you tensed up at his question, and it sent a pang of anxiety through him. Had he said something wrong? Was he pushing too hard?
You forced another smile, trying to maintain the facade. âYeah, of course, weâre friends. Just like always,â you said.
Landoâs frown deepened. That wasnât the response he was expecting. He had a feeling there was more going on than you were letting on, and the thought was driving him crazy.
He chewed on his lower lip, weighing his words. âThen why do I get the feeling that you're not telling me something? You've been acting weird for a while nowâyou're not as yourself.â
He waited, studying your reaction. There it was againĂąâŹâthat flicker in your eye whenever he mentioned something to do with your behavior.
You swallowed hard, the guilt churning in your stomach. You wanted to tell himâyou did. But the words lodged in your throat stuck somewhere between fear and uncertainty.
âIt's...it's nothing, I promise,â you insisted, trying to keep your tone light.
But Lando wasnât buying it. He knew you too well at this pointâhe could read the signs of a lie better than the track maps he studied religiously.
Sighing, Lando set his mug on the coffee table before gently taking yours out of your hand, setting it right next to yours, and holding your hands in his own.Â
Lando's touch was soft, his eyes fixed intently on yours. The heat from his hands soaked into your skin, sending a shiver down your spine.
âPlease, just talk to me,â he said, his voice unusually serious. âI know something's not rightâI can see it, okay? Do you think I haven't noticed that you've been acting weird around me? And you won't even tell me why.â
You could hear the worry in his voice, see it in the lines of his face. Dammit, you had made Lando Norris worry. Guilt clawed at your chestâyou hated that you were the one to cause that look in his eyes.Â
You swallowed hard, your throat feeling tight. You wanted to pour out all your feelings right thenâabout how every touch lately made your skin blaze and how you stayed up at night listening to old voice notes he sent you.
But instead, you just sighed, your shoulders slumping in defeat. âItâs just...itâs complicated, okay?â
Lando tilted his head, a silent encouragement to continue. He was listening now, really listening, his gaze never leaving yours. âDid someone hurt you? Because if they did tell me Iâll take care of it.â Lando says slightly panicked he couldnât stand the thought of you being hurt in some way the whole thought made his stomach upset.
Your heart clenched at his wordsâhe was always so protective, so quick to defend you from any possible harm. The thought of him going to bat for you was both endearing and a little heart-breaking.Â
âNo, no, itâs nothing like that, I promise,â you reassured him quickly. This wasnât what you had been worried about, but somehow, your lie only made you feel worse.
âThen darlin tell me whatâs bugging youâ he pleaded. There was that nickname again. The one that made your heart skip a beat and your palms start to sweat. You bit your lip, hesitating, wondering if you were ready to bear your soul to him like this.
âItâsâitâs stupid, really,â you mumbled, avoiding his gaze. Lando leaned in closer, a crease forming on his forehead. âHey, look at me,â he said, gently tilting your chin up to meet his eyes. âIf itâs bothering you like this, itâs not stupid.â
Your breath caught in your throat at his touch, the soft pressure of his fingertips on your skin. Lando was closer nowâso close that you could see the flecks of gold in his normally blue eyes. Somehow, despite everything, your feelings for him had only grown, intensified and there was no burying it anymore.
âIt's...it's you,â you blurted out before you could stop yourself, your heart racing. It was like once you started, the words just kept coming.
"Every time I'm around you, I just...I feel different. Like, I get all fluttery and nervous, and my brain turns to pudding. And I can't stop thinking about you, and..."
You paused, your words catching in your throat. You hadn't meant to dump it all out like that, but once you started, you couldnât stop.
Lando's eyes widened as you spoke, disbelief and surprise warring on his face. Heâd known something was up, but he hadnât expected thisâto hear that you were going through the same things he was.Â
For a moment, he just sat there, dumbfounded, his grip on your chin still loose but his touch still there. Then, softly, almost reverently, he breathed a single word. âMe?â
You almost laughedâ it was so typical for Lando. Even when you were pouring your heart out, the idiot still found some way to be charming.Â
âYes, you,â you said flatly, rolling your eyes in a vain attempt to hide your nerves. âWho the hell else would I be talking about?â
Lando chuckled, a soft rumble in his chest, and somehow, you could feel the tension slowly seeping out of the situation.
âI justĂąâŹÂŠI canât believe it,â he confessed. âIâve been going crazy over the same thing for months now, I didnât think youâd feel the same wayâ
He trailed off, looking at you with a mix of disbelief and something bordering on awe. You stared at him, your mouth open in surprise. Had he just confessed what you thought he had?
âWait, back up. Youâ You pointed a shaky finger at him, your words coming out in a jumble, âYouâve had a crush on me for months?â
Lando looked sheepish, like a kid caught sneaking cookies. He rubbed the back of his neck, a sheepish little smile on his face. âYeah,â he almost winced at the admission, like he expected you to start laughing any moment. âI know, itâs stupid, but I couldnât help it. Every time we hung out or talked, or even just it was like Iâd just lose my mind.â
He huffed a dry laugh, looking down at his hands, âI never thought I never thought you felt the same.â
Your heart felt like it could burst out of your chest at his words. Lando Norris, the flirty, carefree prince of Formula 1, had a crush on you, a normal, average girl. It didnât seem real.
âGod, weâre both idiots,â you breathed, the words slipping out before you could stop them. Lando looked up at you, eyebrows raised, a mixture of amusement and relief on his face. âWhyâs that?â he asked, a hint of a smile on the edge of his lips.
You huffed, shaking your head. âBecause neither of us had the balls to say anything until now.â Lando barked a laugh, leaning back against the couch. âThatâs a fair point.â
He glanced sidelong at you, some of the easy confidence returning to his usual swagger. âAlthough I have to say, Iâm still a little surprised you never noticed.â
You gave him an incredulous look. âHow was I supposed to notice? Youâre a big flirt. How was I supposed to know I wasnât just another one on your list?â
âI could never let you be just another girl on my list,â Lando murmurs, his voice barely above a whisper, as he gazes deeply into your eyes. The weight of his words hangs in the air, and an electric tension envelops the space between you. You can feel your heart racing, each pulse resonating with the intensity of the moment. Landoâs expression is earnest, revealing a vulnerability that makes your breath catch in your throat. The world around you fades away, leaving only the two of you, locked in this intimate moment, where all your past encounters seem to dissolve, and only the possibility of something deeper remains.
Your heartbeat hammers in your chest, a cacophony of emotion swirling inside. Lando's confession is more than your racing mind can handle. You hadn't expected to hear those words from him.
You opened your mouth, trying to find the right response, an appropriate reaction to the raw honesty in his eyes. Yet, no words come out. All you can do is sit there, caught between wanting to believe his words and a lingering uncertainty. His eyes are unwavering, fixed on yours, waiting.
Lando looks at you, his gaze unwavering. He can see the storm of emotions playing over your face, the way your mind is racing to make sense of all this. But he isnât deterred. For him, this isnât just another flirty banter, another attempt to charm someone into a night of fun. This is real the realest heâs ever felt about anything in his life.
He reaches out, his fingertips just barely brushing your cheek. The touch is light, and gentle, as if heâs afraid of scaring you away with too much pressure.
The soft touch of his fingertips against your skin sends a shiver down your spine, a stark contrast to the chaotic thoughts swirling in your mind. And yet, despite the confusion and surprise, you find yourself leaning into his touch, almost unconsciously.
âI mean it,â Lando says softly as if reading the unspoken doubt in your silence. His eyes are earnest and intense. âI donât just ⊠I donât just âflirtâ with everyone. Youâr⊠youâre different.âÂ
Your heart clenches at his words, his quiet honesty. Part of you wants to believe him, to take a leap of faith and trust that this isnât just empty words. But the other part, the part ruled by doubt and fear, keeps you rooted in place.
âHow am I different?â you ask quietly, barely daring to meet his gaze. Lando takes a moment to think before answering, his fingers still tracing light circles on your cheek. His touch is soothing, and grounding a small patch of calm in the whirlpool of emotions.
âYouâre different because youâre you,â he finally replies, his voice firm, certain. âYouâre not just another girl I flirt with. Youâve been my friend forever. You know me better than anyone. And yet, somehow, you still like me. For me, not just for the thrill of it all.â
The words hit you like a wrecking ball, knocking the air right out of your lungs. He was right. You had been more than willing to accept Lando for all his flaws, his quirks, his vicesâeverything that made him who he was. And somehow, miraculously, he was offering you the same in return.
âBut what if it doesnât work out?â you whisper, your voice wavering, betraying the lingering threads of doubt. Lando's expression softens, his touch becoming more gentle, more reassuring. âI canât promise weâre going to be perfect, darling,â he admits quietly. âThereâll be rough spots, I know that. But I can promise Iâll be there for you, through all of it.â
He takes a breath, his gaze never leaving yours. âI can promise Iâll try, with everything Iâve got. To make you happy, to keep you safe, to be good for you.â You look up at Lando, your heart in your throat. Everything in you wants to believe in his words, in the sincerity behind his eyes. But the fear of the unknown, the uncertainty of what the future holds, still whispers doubts in your ear.
âI want to believe you, Lando. I do,â you confess, your voice barely audible. âBut Iâm scared. Iâm scared of getting hurt, of losing what we already have.â
âI know,â Lando nods, his thumb gently stroking your cheek. âI get it. Iâm scared too.â
He takes a moment, swallowing hard. âBut Iâm also tired. Iâm tired of pretending. Tired of dancing around what both of us have been feeling for months now.â
His hand cups your face then, his touch becoming firmer, more certain. âIâm tired of not having you as more than a friend. And I think...I think you are, too.â
Your eyes flutter shut at his touch, your breath catching in your throat. You hate that heâs right, hate the way his words resonate deep within you. You had been longing for this for monthsâyears if you were being honest with yourself.Â
You open your eyes again, meeting his gaze. The fear is still there, the doubts still niggling at the edge of your mind, but now...now theyâre overpowered by something else. Hope.
âLando?â
Lando lets out a quiet hum, keeping his gaze fixed on you. He looks as if heâs almost holding his breath, waiting for you to speak.
âYeah?â he replies, his voice soft, almost tentative.
âKiss me please?â you ask your voice barely above a whisper. Landoâs eyes widened a fraction, the shock on his face quickly giving way to a look of breathless awe. He looks at you like he canât quite believe what youâve just said.
But then, his lips pull into a smileâa bright, brilliant, beautiful smile that makes your heart skip a beat.Â
âI thought youâd never ask,â he breathes out, and then his hand moves from your cheek to cup the back of your neck, pulling you in towards him. The moment your lips meet his, it's like the world disappears. All the noise, the worries, the doubts, they all melt away, leaving nothing but the sensation of Lando's lips on yours.
His mouth is warm, gentle at first, and then with growing confidence as he deepens the kiss, pulling you closer to him. His touch is electrifying, sending shockwaves through your body as his hands pull you onto his lap.
You reach up to tangle your fingers in his hair, pulling him closer, and tasting the sweetness of his lips. Youâve been craving this for so long years of yearning compressed into this single moment of release. His hands move under your shirt, skimming over the bare skin of your back, making you shiver against his touch.
The kiss seems to go on forever a sweet, slow, burning kind of kiss that makes the outside world fade completely. Thereâs only Lando, only the heat of his body against yours, the pounding of your heart, the way his tongue teases yours, sending sparks straight to your veins.
Finally, you break apart, both of you gasping for air, your foreheads pressed together as you cling to each other. Landoâs eyes are dark, pupils dilated with something primal, something possessive. âGod, you have no idea how long Iâve wanted to do that,â he whispers, breathless, his hand still tracing patterns across your bare skin, sending shivers down your spine.
âI think I might have some idea,â you reply, your breathing still ragged. âYouâve made it pretty damn obvious, you know.â
You can see the hint of a cocky grin on Landoâs face as he ducks his head, burying his face into the crook of your neck, his hands gripping your hips tightly. âCan you blame me?â he mumbles against your skin, his lips trailing down to your collarbone. âYouâre pretty damn irresistible.â
The feel of his teeth, the scrape of his stubble against your skin itâs driving you insane. Every nerve in your body is on fire, every sense keyed into his touch, his breath, his voice. âI feel like Iâve been going crazy,â Lando murmurs as he nips at your earlobe. âMonths of trying to keep my hands off you, trying to pretend I didnât want you more than Iâve ever wanted anything. I thought I was going to lose my goddamn mind.âÂ
âImagine what itâs been like for me,â you reply, your voice hitching as he finds a particularly sensitive spot just below your ear. âWatching you smile and flirt with everyone but me. Listening to you talk about your datesĂąâŹÂŠit was torture.â
Lando pulls back at that, his expression turning apologetic. âGod, Iâm sorry, darling. But you werenât exactly making it easy for me either, you know. Looking all cute and pretty and yeah,â he finishes lamely, his face reddening.
You canât help but smirk at that. âNot my fault you canât handle a little temptation,â you tease, poking his chest lightly. Lando huffs, his competitiveness flaring as he nips at your finger. âOh, I can handle temptation just fine,â he retorts with a hint of a growl. âIâve been handling it for months, thank you very much.â
He pulls you back onto his lap, his arms wrapping around you, possessive, and suddenly his mouth is on your neck again, his teeth scraping over your pulse point, making you gasp.
âYou were handling it, were you?â you tease between gasps, arching against him as his tongue trails down the column of your throat. âDoesnât seem like you were handling it very wellâ
His hands slide under your shirt, his touch roaming over your back, your waist, his thumbs dipping under the edge of your bra.
âTrust me, love,â Lando says in a low voice, his hands mapping out every inch of your skin, âYou have no idea what kind of self-control Iâve had to exercise. There were times I wanted to pin you against a wall and just..â
His words trail off, but the way his hands grip your hips, the way he tugs you flush against him, make it pretty clear what he wanted to do. âWhat stopped you, then?â you ask, biting back a moan as his lips find your collarbone, his teeth grazing over the sensitive skin. âYou seemed to have no problem going after every other girl you wantedâ
Lando lets out a soft huff, his forehead resting against your shoulder, his breath warm on your skin. âBecause it was never just a one-night thing, darling,â he mutters, almost too quiet to hear. âNone of them they werenât you.â
His hand comes up to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, and when he looks at you, thereâs a vulnerability in his eyes thatâs almost staggering.
Your heart clenches at his words, the raw honesty in his eyes robbing you of speech. Youâd expected flirty charm and cocky banter, but thisĂąâŹÂŠthis was something else altogether. Lando Norris, the heartthrob of Formula 1, the man who could have any girl he wanted, was admitting to you, just you, that heâd never wanted anyone the way he wanted you.
âLando I need you so bad,â you say hoping for something to happen between you. Landoâs breath hitches at your words, his grip on you tightening slightly as if heâs barely holding himself back. âYeah?â he breathes out, his voice shaky, laced with desire. âHow bad, darling?â
âBad enough that I donât think I can take it anymore,â you confess, your voice quivering. Everything in you is on fire, every nerve endings craving his touch, his lips, his body. You want him, desperately, urgently, and you can see in his eyes that he wants you just as badly.
Lando curses under his breath, his hands gripping your hips as he holds you against him. You feel the hardness of his arousal against you, and the knowledge nearly makes you dizzy. Lando leans forward, his lips finding your ear, his breath hot against your skin.
âYou have no idea the things I want to do to you, darling,â he murmurs, his voice rough, gravelly with need. âShow me,â you breathe out, your voice hoarse, filled with aching need. âI want to see. I want to know.âÂ
Lando lets out a low moan, his fingers digging into your hips as he turns you so youâre laying on your back on the couch, with him hovering over you, his weight pressing you into the cushion.
His lips are back on your neck, his teeth scraping against your skin as his hands slide under your shirt, pushing the fabric up and off, revealing your bare stomach. His mouth follows the path of his hands, leaving a trail of scorching kisses down to the edge of your bra.Â
Lando looks up at you, his eyes dark with desire, a silent question in his gaze. You nod, breathless, your body yearning for his touch. Lando hooks a finger under the elastic of your bra, the touch of his knuckles against your skin making you shudder. He tugs the bra off, tossing it onto the floor, and then leans forward to capture your lips in a searing kiss.Â
His hands roam over your bare chest, fingers dancing over your sensitive skin, igniting a thousand little fires everywhere he touches.
Lando moves his kisses from your lips down to your chest, his mouth trailing down to the valley between your breasts. You arch against him, your body craving more, needing more of his touch, more of him.
âGod, youâre stunning,â he murmurs between kisses, his voice wavering, filled with awe. âIâve wanted you like this for so long, darling so damn longâÂ
âIâm right here,â you gasp out, arching your back as his lips close around one nipple, his tongue swirling around the sensitive bud. âItâs not just you whoâs been going crazy, you know Iâve wanted this too, god, so many times I thought I was going to go crazyâ
Lando chuckles against your skin, the vibration sending another wave of heat through you. âGood to know I havenât been the only one going mad,â he murmurs, his mouth trailing down your stomach, his hands roaming over your sides. âI couldnât focus in a race for weeks just thinking about you like this, darling, about how youâd look, how youâd how youâd tasteâ
He kisses the inside of your hip, his beard scraping against your skin, and then his thumbs are hooking under the waistband of your sweatpants, beginning to pull them down. You lift your hips to help him tug them off, your heart hammering against your ribs in anticipation.
Lando looks down at you, his eyes roaming over your body, taking in every inch of bare skin. He curses under his breath, his pupils dilated with desire. âGod, look at you,â he mutters, running a trembling hand down your side. âYouâre so perfect so goddamn perfectâ
He moves between your legs, his hands gripping your hips, his touch firm but gentle. âAll these months, Iâd fantasize about this, about you, laid out like this just for me,â he mumbles, leaning down to press kisses along your inner thighs. âI never thought Iâd get to see it for realâ
âI never thought Iâd let you see,â you reply breathlessly, your hands tangling in his hair. âBut Iâm all yours now, Lando. All yours. Show me what youâve been thinking aboutâ
Lando groans at your words, his thumb rubbing circles on your hip as he positions himself between your legs. His lips are back on your skin, kissing and sucking and nipping, slowly moving up your thigh until you can feel his breath against your aching core.Â
âYouâre sure?â he asks in a gravelly voice, his eyes meeting yours.
You nod, words failing you. Desire is coursing through your veins like a drug, making you dizzy and needy and aching for more. âPlease, Lando,â you manage to say, your voice barely above a whisper. âPlease, I need you donât make me wait anymore.â
Lando lets out another low moan, his breath hot against your skin. âGod, I love it when you beg,â he mutters, his voice rough with desire. âIâm gonna give you everything you need, darling everything you wantâ
His mouth finally finds your core, and itâs almost enough to make you scream. His tongue is doing glorious things, and itâs all you can do to keep yourself from bucking against him, the pleasure almost too much to bear.
âL-Lando,â you gasp out brokenly, your hands twisting in his hair, holding on for dear life.
Lando hums against you, the vibrations sending another wave of pleasure through you. His grip on your hips tightens as his tongue continues its wicked dance, bringing you closer and closer to the edge.
âGod, you taste even better than I imagined,â he mutters, his words muffled against your skin. âI want to hear you, darling want to know Iâm making you feel good.â
You canât help but obey, his words and his touch driving you to the brink of madness. A steady stream of moans and gasps falls from your lips, and Lando groans in response like heâs enjoying your pleasure just as much as you are.Â
Just when you think you canât take any more, Landoâs mouth moves away from your core, leaving you feeling bereft, aching with unfulfilled need.
âWhyâd you stop?â you gasp out, looking down at him with hazy eyes. Lando grins at you, his lips glistening with your desire.Â
âBecause Iâm not done with you yet, darling,â he murmurs as he moves back up your body, his body settling on top of you, his weight pressing you into the couch. âYouâre cruel, you know,â you murmur, a shiver running through you as you feel the hard length of his arousal pressing against you. âLeaving me like that all needy and aching for you.â
âYouâll just have to suffer a little while longer,â Lando replies, his voice dripping with feigned innocence, his lips curving into a smirk. He nips at your shoulder, then brushes his lips against your ear, his breath hot against your skin. âJust think about how good itâll feel when I finally give you what you want, love how good Iâm going to make you feelâ
You whine in frustration, arching against him, your body desperate for release. Lando laughs against your skin, his hands roaming over your body, igniting a thousand little fires everywhere he touches.
âLook at you, all needy for me,â he murmurs, his voice gravelly with desire. âGod, I love seeing you like this all desperate and begging me I could get addicted to it, you know.â
Youâre helpless against him, your body putty in his skillful hands. Every touch, every press of his lips is sending electricity through your veins, lighting up your nerves. Youâre so close to the edge, clinging to it desperately as Lando continues to drive you wild.
âPlease, Lando, please,â you plead, your voice breathless, desperate. âI need you I need you so much I need I needâ
âWhat do you need, love?â Lando murmurs, his fingers tracing a path up your inner thigh, dancing ever closer to where you need him most. âYouâll have to use your words, darling I want to hear you say itâ
You let out a strangled moan, your body quivering with tension. âI need I need you to touch me,â you finally manage to gasp out, your voice thick with need. âPlease, Lando make me feel good I canât take anymore I canâtâ
Lando lets out a low growl at your words, his hand finally moving to where you need him most. His fingers dip between your folds, finding the sensitive bundle of nerves and stroking it lightly, making you shudder in ecstasy.
âYouâre so damn wet, love,â he mutters, his voice rough with desire. âSo goddamn responsive for me ... .I've just been touching you for a few minutes and youâre already falling apart in my arms âFeels feels so good,â you gasp out, your body arching against his touch. Your senses are completely overwhelmed, your whole world narrowed down to the feeling of Landoâs fingers, the sound of his voice, the feel of his weight on top of you. Everything else is distant, hazy, and insignificant compared to him.
âThatâs it, darling,â Lando murmurs, his fingers moving more quickly, his touch firmer. âLet go Iâve got you Iâm right here Iâm gonna take care of you .â
His other hand is cupping your face, his thumb brushing over your cheek, his eyes fixed on yours, dark, possessive, intense.
âI need to feel you,â you gasp out between moans, your body clenching tight around his fingers. âPlease, Lando I want you I need you.â
Landoâs breath hitches at your words, his eyes darkening even further. âGod, you have no idea what you do to me,â he mutters, his voice shaking. âYouâre goddamn perfect, you know that? Perfect and mine. All mineâ
âMore,â you murmur, your body pleading for release. âPlease, Lando, more I need more.â
Landoâs thumb is circling over your clit, his fingers moving deeper, faster, driving you to the brink of insanity. âIs this enough, darling?â he asks, his voice rough but his touch still gentle. âOr do you need even more? Tell me what you want, love Iâll give you whatever you need.
âYou.â The word comes out barely coherent, but you manage to force it out in a gasp. âI want you. I need you. All of you. I canât take this anymore, Lando. I canâ please.â
Landoâs eyes widen at your words, a guttural moan escaping his lips. âChrist, darlinâ,â he mutters, his voice tight with control, âyou keep talking like that, and thatâll be over before it even starts.â
âThen donât make me wait anymore,â you beg, your body trembling with need. âPlease, Lando, I donât think I can take it I need to feel you I need you nowâ
Landoâs fingers continue their torturous rhythm, his other hand holding your face, forcing you to meet his gaze. You can see the struggle for control in his eyes, the tension in his body, the barely contained desire. Heâs just as desperate as you are, just as needy.
âAre you sure, darlin?â he asks, his voice strained with self-control. âOnce I give you what you want, I wonât be able to stop. I wonât be able to hold back anymore Iâll take you right here and now, just like you want. are you sure youâre ready for that?â
Youâve never been more certain of anything in your life. You nod, the word tumbling out of you, pleading, desperate. âYes. Yes. God, Lando yes, Iâm ready. More than ready. I want you, all of you. Now. Pleaseâ
A guttural moan escapes Landoâs lips at your words, the sound raw and primal. âGod, youâre going to be the death of me, darlin,â he mutters, his hands moving to your hips, gripping them as he positions himself between your legs. âBut goddammit Iâm not going to fight it anymoreâ
He leans down, his lips claiming yours in a fierce, possessive kiss, his body pressed fully against yours. You can feel his need, his desire, his desperation mirrored in every movement, in every slide of his tongue against yours. His hands shift to your thighs, spreading your legs wider, aligning your bodies perfectly.
âGod, youâre gorgeous,â he mutters between kisses, his voice rough, hoarse with lust. âSo goddamn perfect all laid out for me all mine.â
His hips press against yours, the heat, the hardness of his arousal making you gasp against his lips. âI need you, darlin,â he mutters, his hands skimming up your sides, his touch sending sparks of heat through you. âI need you so damn much it hurts I canât hold back anymore I canâtâ
âThen donât,â you whisper, your body arching against his, pleading for him. âPlease, Lando donât hold back anymore Iâm all yours pleaseâ
Lando lets out another guttural moan, his control finally snapping. âGod, darlin, the things you do to me goddamn â
He shifts his weight, positioning himself at your entrance, the tension in his body like a coiled spring. âYou sure about this, love? Youâre sure?â
âIâm sure,â you murmur, your body aching with need, your heart filled with a certainty youâve never felt before. âIâve never been surer of anything in my life, Lando. I want you, goddammit, I need you and Iâm yours just please.â
Your words are like a match to a fuse, igniting the last shred of his control. Lando lets out a guttural moan, his hands gripping your hips, his body tense, trembling with the effort of restraining himself. He takes a shaky breath, his blue eyes meeting yours, dilated with desire.
âYouâre mine, darlin,â he repeats, his voice a hoarse whisper. âAll mine.â
And with that, he finally surrenders to his need, his control shattered. His body sheathes itself within you, filling you, stretching you, claiming you in a way thatâs primal and possessive and perfect. A moan tears from your throat, your body arching against his, sparks of pleasure dancing through you, igniting every nerve.
Lando lets out a guttural groan, his body shuddering against yours. âGod, you feel so good,â he gasps out, his hands gripping your hips tightly. âSo damn perfect youâre going to be the death of me, darlinâ
Your world narrows down to the sensation of him within you, his body moving against yours, the feel of his hands, his mouth, his body on and around you. Your whole world is Lando: his breath against your skin, the taste of his neck, the feel of his body moving against yours.
âGod, yes,â you gasp out between moans, your body meeting his every thrust, your hands tracing over his back, feeling the shifting muscles beneath your palms. âLandoâLando God, you feel so good so perfectâ
"Oh, lord have mercy-" you gasped your eyes rolling at the back of your head.Â
 "Oh, he had plenty when he made you. My. fucking. Friend." Lando says between thrusts.
Landoâs words are like fuel to the fire, igniting a heat within you thatâs almost primal, almost feral. You cling to him, your body quivering, your nails digging into his skin. He lets out another guttural moan, his body trembling with the effort of holding back, his restraint paper-thin.
"I donât think Iâm going to last much longer, darlin," he gasps out, his voice rough, strained. "You feel too good too perfectâ
"Just let go, Lando," you breathe out, your voice hoarse, a plea, a command, a plea. "I want you to. Come for me show me how good I make you feel"
Landoâs body shudders at your words, his control finally, blissfully breaking. âGoddammit, darlin, you have no idea what you do to me,â he mutters, his voice a hoarse growl. âYou drive me wild, love god damn I canâtâI canâtâ
He leans his forehead against yours, his eyes locked on yours, his body trembling, taut, quivering with tension. âAre you close, darlin?â he gasps out, his voice tight, strangled.
You nod, your body clenching around him, your hands clinging to his shoulders, your breaths coming in short, ragged gasps. âImâIâm so close, Lando,â you manage to gasp out, your eyes meeting his, filled with a mixture of pleasure and desperation.Â
Landoâs eyes darken at your words, a possessive, primal spark igniting in his gaze. âThatâs it, darlin,â he murmurs, his body moving faster, harder, deeper, his breath coming in ragged gasps against your skin. âLet go for me. Let go for me I want to feel you I want to feel you come undone in my armsâ
Youâre helpless to resist his pleas, your body quivering, ready to burst. His voice, his touch, his body, itâs all too much, too intense. Youâre teetering on the edge, so close to the precipice, hanging on by a mere thread.
âL-Landoâ you manage to moan out, your voice shaky, breathless. âIâmâIâmâIâmâ
Landoâs body trembles with the effort of holding back, his restraint hanging on by a thread. âThatâs it, darlin,â he gasps out, his voice ragged, tight. âLet go. Let go, darling. Iâve got you Iâve got youâ
The tension finally snaps, your body seizing up, a wave of ecstasy crashing over you like a wall of fire. You cry out, your nails digging into Landoâs back, your body shuddering with the force of your release.
Lando lets out a guttural moan at the feeling, his body tensing, his hips stuttering, his control finally, blissfully broken. âGoddammit, darlin,â he mutters, his voice a hoarse gasp. âThatâs it thatâs it Iâm right there with you, darlin,â he gasps out, his body shuddering against yours, his release crashing over him like a tsunami. âGoddamn youâve got me completely wrecked, loveĂąâŹÂŠI donât know if Iâll ever be able to recover.â
You cling to him, both of you trembling in the aftermath, holding onto each other for dear life. The room is filled with the sounds of your panting breaths, the thump of your heartbeats, the rustle of the sheets beneath you.
Landoâs arms wrap around you, his body pressing against yours, holding you tightly to him. He buries his face in the crook of your neck, his breath hot against your skin. Heâs still shaking, still quivering with the aftershocks of the pleasure youâve just experienced together.
"Goddamn, darlin," he mutters, his voice low, rough. "You wreck me. Every time. You completely wreck me."Â
You let out a soft, contented sigh, your body relaxing into his embrace. âThat wasĂąâŹÂŠthat was intense,â you murmur, your fingers tracing lazy circles over his back. âI donât think I can feel my legs.â
Lando lets out a soft, hoarse chuckle at your words, the sound vibrating against your skin. âThatâs what I was aiming for, darlin,â he mutters, his lips brushing over your neck. âI wanted to make sure you wouldnât be able to walk straight for a few days.â
âYou succeeded,â you say, a smile curving your lips, your body still tingling, still humming with the aftermath. âI donât think Iâm ever going to be the same after that.â
Lando lets out a soft, possessive moan at your words, his arms tightening around you. âGood,â he mutters, his lips moving over your skin, âbecause I plan on doing that to you again and again, darlin. Over and over. Until you canât even remember your own name.â
You let out a soft, contented sigh, a shiver of anticipation running through you. âIs that a promise?â you murmur, your voice soft, sultry.
Lando lets out a low rumble of affirmation, his lips finding the sensitive spot behind your ear. âItâs a promise, darlin,â he whispers, his breath hot against your skin. âIâm going to keep you in bed for days, love. Until you forget everything except my name.â
You shiver at the possessive, primal note in his voice, the promise in his words. âYouâre going to wear me out,â you murmur, your body already stirring with renewed desire.
Lando lets out another low rumble, his hands beginning to wander over your body, reigniting the fire between you. âThatâs the plan, darlin,â he mutters, his lips moving down your neck, âto wear you out and then wear you out some more. I canât get enough of you, love. I never will.â
You let out a soft, wanton moan, your body arching against his, your heart swelling with a mixture of pleasure and desire. âYouâre insatiable,â you murmur, your fingers tangling in his hair.
"Only with you, darling . Only you,â

Bluelock boys reaction to s/o liking winter but (ironically) being very chilly (part 1)
..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..
Featuring Michael Kaiser, Rin Itoshi, Sae Itoshi
Fluff, nothing weird here except Kaiser being slightly suggestive
Let me know if there's errors! Enjoy!
..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..
You and Kaiser have been together for quite a while so it was obvious that he knew about it.
But he just couldnât help being fascinated every time you got chilly, even in the mildest weather.
"It's not funny" you said narrowing your eyes at Kaiser, who had a shit eating grin on his face.
"It isn't?" He said cocking an eyebrow. "You're wrapped up with two wool blankets and on top of that a duvet. You look like a burrito." He said as he sat closer to you, the sofa feeling strangely smaller now that Michael was awfully close.
"I can't control my body temperature and if I could I wouldn't be in such a state, don't you think?" You said rolling your eyes but smiling faintly, knowing that he was just teasing you.
âMaybe we can change that...â he murmured, locking eyes with you. His grin widened as he saw the flush on your cheeks. âLooks like someone is in the mood,â the cocky soccer player said, lifting you effortlessly.
âWait, I didnât say anything...!â you protested, struggling against him, but the blankets wrapped around you acted as an unintentional shield, much to his advantage. The irony.
âSilence is consent, Meine Liebe." he said with a mischievous smirk.
..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..
It was snowing outside. The snowflakes were slowly falling, covering everything in white. Rin swore he never experienced a colder winter than this, and as a soccer player, it spoke volumes.
When you first met, he discovered how much you loved the season, and as time passed, he found himself loving it more than he had anticipated. He knew how easily you got chilly during this time of year, and, deep down, he liked it.
It was a good excuse for him to gatekeep you in the Itoshi household. Call him possessive, but he just couldn't help it.
The only footsteps heard in the house were his, going up and down the kitchen to prepare a hot chocolate for the two of you. You guys agreed on a horror film marathon, and choose various titles, with the majority chosen by you.
When he finally finished preparing the mugs, he walked towards your shared bedroom, where he found you already covered up to your ears, looking out of the window from the bed you were sitting on.
"Here" he said, laying on your hands the hot mug.
"You didn't have to.. thank you" you spoke softly, looking at him sitting next to you, the remote in his hand, ready for the movie marathon to start. In the first few minutes he noticed you shivering slightly and put your head on his shoulder, taking you by surprise.
Neither of you talked; the silent yet genuine gesture was enough to warm up the both of you, as you sank in a comfortable silence.
..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..âąÂ°âą..
The storm was in full swing and you were looking at the snow outside, a warm oversized hoodie enveloping your body and a closed book in your hands that kept you occupied just a few moments ago. Sae watched you from across the room, the fire of the fireplace casting shadows over his stoic features. He had just gotten home from practice, and the warmth was enough to remind him that he was where he belonged, even if he would never admit it.
Because the source of it was the same person that was looking at the snow storm with eyes full of wonder.
One would say that he cared only about football and himself, but it wasn't the truth as without a word he walked over, your shivering not going unnoticed as his brows furrowed slightly.
Wordlessly, he draped his own coat over your shoulders, the familiar scent and warmth of him enveloping you. You looked up surprised, meeting his steady gaze.
"You're going to catch a cold even with all these clothes." He simply said, his tone uneven but the glimmer of his eyes betraying him as you spotted a hint of concern in his gaze.
"Thank you.."
"Still cold?"
You looked up surprised and nodded, not able to hide your small smile as Sae sighed.
"Let's go to the fireplace then. If you're still cold even there I'll take you to the hospital." He said, and you rolled your eyes but took his hand as he led you to the couch that was perfectly placed in front of the fireplace.
The heat of the flames warmed your body, but your heart was already warmed by the coldest man you had ever loved.
Let me know if there's some errors! Thank you for reading!

This is a hard truth that a lot of people don't want to hear, that there needs to be a balance between holding men accountable for their behavior, pointing out injustices that they benefit from, and at the same time encouraging them to learn and grow.
And this goes for any group of people, really, but especially so for young men right now.
I was saying this shit back before the 2016 election and really pissed off a lot of people for daring to argue that we should encourage our allies instead of shaming and alienating them.
"Yes, absolutely, people should support our civil rights because it's the right thing to do, but a lot of people genuinely do not know how much of the world is structured to prop them up at the cost of bringing others down."
I'm going to say something possibly really, really controversial here, especially in the wake of THIS election:
Most people are capable of being empathetic, understanding, and logical, but if you are going to engage with them then you have to have the maturity to commit to reaching them.
At one of the places I worked previously, there was this security guard who worked a few nights at the end of the week who was honestly one of my best friends there. He was a well-educated, very devout Christian man around my father's age, and he was black. For context, I am a young Irish-American liberal Hellenic Polytheist.
We actually got along far better with each other than I did with all of the hippie woo neopagan people I knew there, and he with the Christians there. And that's because we were not only both well educated within our belief systems, we were also really good at meeting in the middle and extending social grace and understanding to each other. We found that our core principles were perfectly aligned, we just didn't always arrive to our conclusions in the same exact ways.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, he was reluctant to get vaccinated, and when we talked about it I was the one person who got through to him. And he told me so. He told me outright, after he got vaccinated, that it was my voice that changed his mind.
I did not do that by shaming him over all of the people he might kill if he caught COVID and spread it. I did not do that by attacking his intellect or scientific literacy. I did not do that by threatening his financial security and pointing out that companies are letting people go for not getting vaccinated.
I did it by acknowledging his beliefs and concerns (especially as an older black man, given this country's history), and agreeing that he absolutely has valid reasons to feel the way he does, but by letting him know that my position on this subject was one of caring about his well-being above all else and letting him know when I got vaccinated and where, and how the process went for me.
Look, shaming CAN be effective in some limited scenarios, and I've done that, too. I've shamed quite a few people on public transit for refusing to let disabled elderly people sit. I am very much guilty of telling a woman that her imaginary friend does not need a seat of their own so that a guy who fell over getting on the bus could actually sit the fuck down.
But when it comes to bigger picture social issues, it's so much better to try to reach people and establish dialogue FIRST. And I know that that is asking a lot. For many of us, it goes against our very instincts.
At the local farmer's market last week, I had a man come up to me in a MAGA hat and I was absolutely braced for a fight. Instead, he eagerly showed me pictures on his phone of the garden he was cultivating. He was almost GIDDY about his plants, about the wildflowers and the pollinators and the fruit and the trees. That man was reachable. He was not there to attack me for being a queer woman. He was there to bond over how cool plants are and had no idea what he was really signing up for.
It's so much easier to condemn people broadly as monsters, and I know it feels much more satisfying and rewarding in the moment. I've done it, too. I was downright obnoxious about it when I was younger. But this is not the kind of behavior that leads to long-term societal growth.
The more we cut off and alienate people, the easier it is for them to fall prey to indoctrination. Exposure and social engagement is our biggest weapon against bigotry and THAT is a major reason as to why the Republican party wants to destroy public education.
I have had an immense uphill battle with some of my closest male friends in trying to keep them from falling down the alt-right pipeline. It's been a nearly two decade endeavor in a few cases, but I have seen those men in my life gradually improve and become well-rounded, empathetic, and educated men.
I guess what I'm saying here is, if you have a man (or ANYONE for that matter!) in your life who is showing early warning signs and/or you believe is susceptible to the MAGA movement, please think about what I've said. It's so much harder to approach them from a place of understanding than of anger and I get that, but at the end of the day, one of those is going to be much more effective at changing their viewpoint.
Lastly, if you find yourself in a situation where you are trying to engage with someone who thinks very differently than you do, here are a few tips and some examples:
1. Acknowledge their viewpoint.
"I understand where you're coming from"
"I think I see why you think/feel this way"
Or even just asking, "I don't really understand, can you explain how you arrived to this conclusion/viewpoint/opinion, etc.?"
2. Offer them an olive branch.
"I see what you're saying, and actually, I think you will find that our opinions aren't too different from each other's."
"You have a point about this, and if I could just build off of that, here is where I am coming from."
3. Address their concerns
"Yeah, you're right, our taxes are already way too high, but if we didn't have to raise them at all and could, instead, take a hard look at how they are already being spent?"
"Wolf reintroduction absolutely could be a problem for farmers if it's handled poorly, and you're right that city people don't understand that as intimately as you do, but what if I told you there's a way we could work this out to your benefit, too?"
4. Thank them for listening! (even if they didn't magically change their opinion right away, you never know)
"I'm glad we had this talk, thank you for hearing what I had to say."
5. Reassure them that you listened, too! (even if YOU didn't change your mind)
"I can't say you've changed my mind, but you've given me something to think about."
I couldn't have said it better myself.
#I was saying this shit back in 2016 before the election even happened#and people were pissed at me for daring to argue that we should be encouraging allies#instead of just broadly shaming entire groups as irredeemable villains#because as unpleasant as it may be NONE of us are immune to indoctrination#and when you alienate people and convince them they are inherently bad#you are making it VERY easy for them to fall prey to these kinds of groups#I still to this day regret cutting ties with one of my uncles back then for posting something about the Confederate flag on his FB page#not because I was wrong to be upset with him over it#but because he wasn't too far gone yet and there was a window of time at which I could have pulled him back from the brink#instead I caved to peer pressure and cut him off... and it was to save my own skin more than anything else#eight years later this man has gone WAY off the deep end and there is likely no turning back#alienating people pushes them towards extremism NOT enlightenment#people improve when they are given space to learn and grow and I know that is hard#please learn from my mistake if you're reading this and you know someone who isn't too far gone yet

Jade Leech: J is for...
J wordâ
Twst devs: How can we fuckâm up real good
Intern-kun: J word birdâs eye view cleavage shot
xhjsvwiwkw Jokes aside! I love how much care he takes in maintaining his appearance, right down to ironing in the morning and purposefully styling the black strand into the âJâ shape đ Whatever it takes to look like a gentleman, right⊠And heâs meticulous about his SPF just like me, frfrđ§Žđ
Rise and Shine!
Jadeâs hands, you decided, were made for delicate efforts.
You had watched those hands a number of times, performing like skilled trapeze artists in a circus. Serving food and drink at the Mostro Lounge, rinsing the grime off of foraged mushrooms, drawing decisive graphite strokes upon a page. The terrariums sitting upon his shelf were the result of his handiworkâminuscule biomes, carefully constructed with a magnifying glass and tweezers.
Now he handled his hair with the same deadly precision. Fingers on the end of his singular black strand to keep it in place, he ran a hair straightener along the length. When the tool pulled away, the strand bounced back into a slight curl.
A perfect J to hug his handsome face. J for Jade, as he often said.
You had observed the times when a J hadnât been the result. Too little, and the strand was an I. Too much, and the strand rebelled into a S.
âYouâre so detail-oriented,â you commented from your place by the doorframe.
The response, a quiet, almost musical, chuckle. It seemed to echo off the cavernous walls of the Octavinelle washroom, bathed by sunlight-infused waters.
âIt is important to maintain oneâs appearance.â
âTo make a good first impression?â
You knew why.
To lure his victims into a false sense of security. A neat suit, a disarming smile, and anyone would be willing to part with the treasures Jade fished for. Information, valuable information.
âThat is part of it.â He didnât look directly at you, but instead met your eyes in the reflection of his vanity mirror. âOne can also glean a great amount of information from observing how another presents themselves. For exampleâŠ
âYou must have had a small baked good for breakfast on your way to Octavinelle this morning. A muffin, a croissantâsomething of that sort, yes.â
âH-How did youâŠ?!â
His eyes trailed to your necktie, done up just the way you liked it. â⊠There are crumbs there.â
Your hands flew to your chest, hurriedly dusting yourself off. Jadeâs small, pointed teeth showed from behind his mouth.
Amused.
âWhen I first came to land, I thought it strange that humans dressed differently depending on the occasion. You dress formally for strangersâwork, interviewsâbut dress casually for your loved onesâfriends, family. But I see now⊠It sends a message to the world about who you are and what your place in it in that moment in time is.
âOur school uniforms signify that we are students. Pajamas mean that someone is about ready to sleep or to prepare themselves for the day. A tidy appearance implies a tidy mind, and a slovenly appearance, a slovenly one.â
âYour mind scares me sometimes,â you joked. âI feel like itâs full of sharp things that could kill meâ.
âOya, is that because you are complimenting how sharp my attire is?â Jade pinched the lapels of his pajama top. â⊠Though Iâm afraid this can hardly be called sharp.â
"You will be once you've changed." You glanced away, indicating that he should.
âVery well. Then, please excuse me."
There was the ruffle of satin coming off, the flap of fabric as it was folded and tucked away. More rustling as a new set of clothes fell over his body. The same old vest, blazer, and slacks.
"... You may look," he called softly.
You did.
And there he was, Jade Leech in his school uniform. It was perfectly tailored to fit him, dyed a simple and sleek black. His earring was in place as well, three diamond-shaped scales dangling from his left side.
A regular sight, yet it made your heart sigh all the same.
"Clothes really do make the man," you murmured, a finger at your lip.
"Fufufu. I will happily accept your praise." Jade drew himself beside you. His shadow stretched, a suit in of itself folding over you. An open hand, held out. "Shall we be on our way?"
"Yes, letâs.â You shyly slipped your hand into his, and it fit like a glove.
The black strandâcoiled into a Jâleapt with your shared first step.
Too little or too much. His words, running both hot and cold. But this feltâŠ
You searched for a J word, like the shape of that stripe.
J for⊠Just right.

Can I request headcanons for Zayne, and Slyus react to his shy gn crush giving him a love letter before leaving quickly?
You were quick with your exist, Sylus had to give you that as the moment he looked up from the letter, only to see that you were long gone.
Naturally he wouldâve caught you by the wrist and kept you close until after he had read the letter. However since that wasnât how the events played out, Sylus walked back to his room to read the letter, fully intending to ask you the next time he sees you what this was all about, all the while lightly scolding you for running away.
He even made Mephisto leave the room for full privacy, the crow was offended by this not going to lie and instead made himself comfortable on the nearest perch he could find.
Sylus wasnât dumb, your expression gave it all away what type of letter this was and he couldnât help but smirk when he read your sweet words, chuckling as he felt your emotions through every sentence he read and how many words you had scribbled out in your attempt of making a confession to him.
While he wouldâve preferred to have you confess to him in person, he couldnât hold it against you that you felt overwhelmed and too afraid to do so and speak your heart to him, but that was okay when you had written your heart to him on a piece of paper instead that made him smile as warmth spread throughout his chest.
You were so cute when you poured your heart out into the letter and Sylus knew he would be keeping this as his own personal memento of the time where your relationship changed. Needless to say after reading the letter you got a greeting by Sylus later that same evening as he made himself comfortable in your apartment, eager to start your relationship as soon as he could by making you a dinner for two.
He casts his gaze down at the letter you hastily shoved into his hand, giving him no room to ask what the contents of the letter was before bolting off down the hallway with a flustered expression upon your face.
Zayne tilts his head to the side as he then takes the letter into his office, not wanting anyone to peer over his shoulder and read the words that you had specifically wrote for him and him alone.
He knew of your nervousness and tendency to tell him personal things through the likes of cute letters, but this was a completely different level of that as he got an insight to your thoughts and feelings towards him that you couldnât put into words. It was highly detailed with moments where you realised that you like Zayne more then âjust a friendâ
He found it sweet and warming as he too would reminisce on the moments that you bring up and suddenly everything becomes clearer for Zayne. The moments where it seemed like you were more sheepish and unable to meet his eyes, all of it made all the more sense to him now as you gave clarification to why you acted those ways back then.
You adored him and yet you couldnât find a more fitting way to tell him than a letter that resides within his hands.
It felt good for Zayne to know that his feelings wasnât one sided and that you felt similar to him. It was all he could ever wish for even though he tried not to fall for you, only to find it increasingly difficult when you were practically a big part of his day to day life, and he couldnât help but feel as though a weight had been taken off of his chest knowing that he didnât have to hold back his feeling anymore and finally get to do what he always wanted.
He has a reservation booked at a fancy restaurant to you both, but is more than willing to cancel it to just walk through the city with you should that be more your speed, or maybe even some quality time at home with some take out. Zayne didnât want you to become overwhelmed and would much preferable to have you at your most comfortable when youâre both talking about your future relationship.

Basketball captain!Toji
10th april: catharsis
warning: 18+ mdni, blowjob, face fucking, spanking, teasing, dirty talk, nipple pinching, passing out, unprotected sex, not proofread
basketball captain!toji has you at your witsâ end. itâs been three weeks since he last fucked you and you couldnât possibly take more. youâre losing sleep, youâve got huge circles under your eyes and hearing your friends talk about their recent sexcapades has you twitching like a madwoman.Â
so you decide enough is enough.Â
especially because playoffs are tomorrow and if you donât do something about this drought heâs forced upon you now, you fear youâll actually die of dehydration before the team gets to the court.Â
basketball captain!toji is at home and his roommate is off terrorising children no doubt. now is the perfect time to strike. youâre going all out and pulling out the big guns. letting yourself into their apartment once more, you surveil the area. the tvâs running, playing one of the games in which they lost, and your boyfriendâs in the kitchen cooking dinner.Â
tiptoeing like your life depends on it, you sneak up right behind him and tackle him into a bear hug (as close to one as you can considering his enormous size). he doesnât even glance back at you. the bastard knew the entire time youâre here.Â
âhey ma, hungry?â
running a hand up his shirtless back, you admire his muscles. all the training and gym sessions has made him even bigger and tougher-looking. god, his back muscles are ripping with every move and every breath, tensing and softening with your touch.Â
âtoji,â you whisper against his skin, âi miss you.â
he huffs a laugh and turns to wrap a heavy arm around your shoulders, tucking you into his side with a kiss to your head. ââm right here, ma.â
basketball captain!toji is being uncharacteristically sweet. you hate it. heâs softening you up, distracting you with his boyish grin and teasing kisses to your hair. but you must stand your ground. youâve got a game plan.Â
with a warning bite to his bicep, you fall to the floor with grace and yank down his joggers with much less grace. your jaw drops. heâs hard, fully hard, the tip an angry red leaking so much pre you almost thought he came already. basketball captain!toji isnât even wearing boxers.Â
that bastard.Â
you look up at his face, feeling irritated by the rise of his brow, as if faking a look of shock.Â
âyou ainât gonna buy me dinner first, baby?â
maybe itâs the shit-eating grin basketball captain!toji has or maybe itâs the mocking tone of his voice, but whatever it is, it has you gripping the base of his throbbing cock with much more force than he expects. he stiffens.Â
you donât waste time; you open wide and take as much of him as you can. he tastes slightly salty and musky, like hard work and late nights. itâs been too long and your jaw has gotten too comfortable in the interval. you wince at the stretch and feel a prick of fear at how your pussyâs gonna fare when heâs plowing between your legs without mercy.Â
god, youâre soaked at just the thought of it.Â
basketball captain!toji fists your hair and thrusts into the back of your throat without warning, feeling empowered by your gargles. he doesnât have rhythm, heâs just thrusting as he please, and you know you have him.Â
motherfucker wants this more than you do.Â
âha, this what you wanted for dinner?â
you roll your eyes at the same time as you roll your tongue over his slit, rejoicing in the hiss you pull out of him. he narrows his eyes at you and pulls you off, lifting your head up slightly by the makeshift ponytail heâs made.
âdonât sass me, ma. i was gonna fuck you nice and slow but you changed my mind.â
both of you know damn well heâs lying through his teeth but before you can voice that, heâs spinning you around and pinning your face to the cold marble surface. heâs lifted your skirt up, flicking it over and he pauses at the sight that beholds him.Â
youâre wearing a thong with his name on it.
smiling, you shake your hips like a temptress, egging him on, daring him to say and do something.
basketball captain!toji is palming your ass, his thumb rubbing the flimsy string between your cheeks. you canât see what face heâs making but that just makes you wetter.Â
is he impressed? is he mad? or both? neither?
you yelp. heâs slapped your ass and the sting is gonna leave a mark.Â
âyou got this for me, ma? ha, you missed me that much?â
the pulsing between your legs, the wetness running down your thighs, his monstrous grip groping and pinching all over, it was making you delirious. you laugh, a cackle that escapes you and doesnât register in your head.Â
then heâs pushing aside your thong and sheathing himself in one thrust. you both moan. oh, itâs so good. the burnâs making you drool, the way his headâs rubbing against that spongy part inside of you again and again and again. itâs all too much.Â
basketball captain!toji has one hand holding your hips and dragging you back and forth on his unbelievable length whilst the other is holding your tit captive. heâs twisting your nipple and sucking your neck, leaving a wet trail of apologies to your ear.Â
âha, was mean, wasnât i? sorry baby, shit!â
you arenât even listening, too focused on that pleasurable ache between your legs as he pummels your poor pussy like youâre just a wet hole. twisting your neck, you meet his lips in a clash of tongue and teeth. itâs messy and chaotic but it makes you clench down on him.Â
âfuck!â he spanks your ass, eliciting a whine from you. âgonna -ngh- milk me too early, ma.â
basketball captain!toji speeds up his thrusts, rubbing your clit with a ferocity that steals your breath, all while hitting that same spot inside of your wet tunnel. over and over again.Â
you have no idea how long itâs been, maybe thirty minutes, three hours or mere seconds. time escapes you, so caught up in what youâve been chasing for weeks, you donât want to miss a single second on this rapture.Â
youâre climbing higher and higher, voice pitching and moans so broken you probably sound demonic. his hands are so big, pressing warmth into your skin whilst his sweaty skin blankets your back, the weight so reassuring, so heavenly you hope he never leaves.Â
âright there, yes! pleasepleasepleaseplease!âÂ
the tsunami of euphoria that washes over you, erasing all of your frustrations and grievances against the man, makes you black out. for a solid minute you lose your bearings, grappling for a tether as your legs shake. heâs still fucking you through it, groaning in your ear from the repeated clenches youâre making on his cock.Â
âglad youâre here ma, wanted to empty my â shiiiiiit â balls before the game. such a good girl, helping me out.â
when you come to, it takes you a second to realise he hasnât cum yet, just making shallow thrusts whilst heâŠ
basketball captain!toji is eating his dinner whilst still inside of you, ignoring the way youâre genuinely spasming, tongue-tied from the strongest orgasm youâve ever had, courtesy of his three weeks long tortuous experiment.Â
basketball captain!toji notices your disbelieving glare and flashes you a wolfish grin, his scar stretching in an annoyingly delectable way.Â
âwant some?â

Alright I see what youâre saying about the headcanons (which are not head canons so much a inferences from the information we have) BUT I have to clarify that multiple psychologists have explained that yes Anakin Skywalker has bpd. He has enough prominently visible symptoms to be clinically diagnosed if he were a real person. This is a fact.
Yes, some Jedi get glimpses of the future, or the past, but that is in no way the same thing as fully experiencing time in a non linear fashion.
I didnât say that Jedi had ready access to that 4th dimensional view of reality, I said that the Force gives them a glimpse of what it could be like. we literally used the same word to describe it. Iâm getting this from Yodaâs lines about how Jedi are luminous beings. But I'm also not just using the movies. (I'll get into my view on Clone wars in canon shortly.) It can be inferred also from everything we know about the Cosmic Force. Basically the Cosmic Force is that fourth time dimensional view of the universe while the Living Force is the fourth SPACE dimensional view of the universe. Sorry Iâve been being a physics nerd for the past few days all this is fresh in my head right now. Point is, the Jedi truly donât see time as a linear thing even if they are for the most part confined to the present. They see something having existed in the past as never disappearing because the past is fixed and nothing can change that. The past still exists and thus everything that existed in the past will always exist and that is how they justify not feeling grief over loss.
And I want to be clear on something: I do consider the majority of Clone Wars to be canon and I do take quite a bit from Legends as well so not everything I say comes from the movies. But as a writer I do not see Clone Wars Anakinâs characterization as faithful due to stupid things like pandering to the audience who didnât want to confront things like the complexity an nuance of mental health and toxic environments and relationships. Everything else, the characterization of others like Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Windu? The characters who didnât get a ton of hate after the prequels were released? Thatâs all fine. Itâs just PadmĂ© and Anakin who suffered from deliberately butchering their character.
So all the Mortis arc, Yodaâs season 6 adventure to become one with the cosmic force and all the implications that go with it? Canon. The Jedi Councilâs treatment of Anakin? Canon.
Exactly one Jedi made a big deal about Anakin being the Chosen One: Qui-Gon. That's it. The Jedi don't treat Anakin any different than any other member of their order.
This is patently false. His admission into the order was debated by the full council in front of him. That is extremely irregular. and even once he was admitted into the order he was at the level of Palawan at a young age and skipping the initiate phase. He grew up knowing that most of the council didn't want him there. Mace in particular made it pretty damn clear he didn't like Anakin.
We also know that Anakin was powerful beyond anything the Jedi had ever seen. it can be inferred that they would react more strongly to his emotional volatility than they do with other Jedi who aren't already seen as dangerous.
...I'm not sure what you expect the Jedi to do about that? Qui-Gon died, and Padme was a Queen who had to go back to her own planet.
Well they certainly could have handled it better than they did! Maybe it wasn't their fault but it was their responsibility to help him learn to properly cope. And it wasn't just that Padmé had to return to Naboo, Anakin literally wasn't allowed to be in communication with her, which I'm pretty sure was explicitly stated in Queen's Shadow.
That was a choice that Anakin made. Sidious didn't force his hand. Anakin made the decision that the chance of saving Padme - from a fate he didn't know for sure she'd experience! - was worth betraying the Jedi, worth murdering younglings, worth overthrowing the Republic and turning it into an Empire.
Now this. This is complicated. Because on a certain level you are correct. But he also wasn't in his right mind. He'd been fighting a war for months, hadn't slept in days, was being heavily manipulated, his entire support system was absent, and he was splitting all at the same time. and if you pay attention you'll notice that he resisted very very well. it was not easy for Palpatine to manipulate him into that situation. to even get Anakin to the point where he was mentally unstable enough to turn to the dark side took over TEN YEARS of manipulation. And after that it was actually the Jedi who played the ground work for him to continue making those choices after he became Vader. because the Jedi teach that once you fall theirs no going back, which is provably false but Anakin didn't know that. you may also notice that it didn't actually take much for Vader to return to the light side. Simply having one person believe in him was enough.
Addressing the bit about him not knowing for sure Padmé would die, I have to point out that even from Phantom Menace Anakin shows extreme reliability when predicting the near future. and he touted the dreams about his mother and as a result she died. If he'd responded to this vision just a few days, heck even hours, earlier Shmi could have survived.
That's why I call Anakin selfish and possessive. Because ultimately, he didn't care about Padme's feelings or opinions.
And this is where we come back to the BPD, which again is NOT a head canon but the opinion of multiple psychologists and people with BPD.
Anakin greatly values Padmé's feelings and opinions most of the time. to an unhealthy degree. to the point where his self-image is reliant on her opinion of him.
He was in the midst of a splitting episode. Here's a definition:
Splitting is a symptom of BPD. It occurs when a person sees everything as black or white, good or bad, or best or worst. Splitting is a defense mechanism people living with BPD use to deal with emotions (such as the fear of abandonment) that they cannot handle.
That's what was going on. He was unable to reconcile Padmé being against the side he'd chosen and thus could only see it as a betrayal. I also have to point out that he didn't actually choke her that hard or for that long. Her struggles weren't nearly as frantic as the could've been and later the medical droid made it clear that the was nothing physically wrong with her. There didn't even seem to be any bruising. Padmé shouldn't have died. And Anakin shouldn't have survived. And the Force can be used to drain life energy and transfer it to another person. Palpatine wanted Anakin alive and isolated, so killing Padmé to keep him alive would have been the perfect strategy. Anyway that's getting into theory territory so I digress. The Point is Anakin didn't choose to disregard Padmé or her beliefs, I don't even know if he was cognizant at all of Sidious's plans or what they meant. All he could really see was a black and white view of his side vs. the Jedi.
As for the unconditional love you say he needed? Padme did love him unconditionally.
Which is exactly why he was so desperate to protect her. Even beyond the fact that he loved her she was literally the only person who gave him what he needed. She was his entire support system. If the Jedi had supported him the way he needed things might have turned out differently. If he'd felt safe actually asking for help and being open about the details of the situation the Jedi might actually have been able to do something about it. But when he did go and ask for help he was chastised for caring and wanting to save someone from a possibly preventable death. Which is so messed up. Yoda didn't even press for details about the nature of the death to determine the risk of doing something. just claimed that sometimes the harder you fight the future the more likely it becomes or something. I don't see how Padmé potentially seeing a Jedi healer could have made things worse.
In conclusion the Jedi Order and its Council made a Buch of huge screw up when it came to raising Anakin and it ended up killing them and literally driving him insane. His mental health was their responsibility and they didn't just drop the ball, they threw it.
"no attachments" in SW literally just means "don't be selfish and possessive". that's it. that's all there is. doesn't mean jedi can't have friends and loved ones. they can. just. don't be possessive and selfish about it. don't murder thousands of people in an effort to save one.

Hide it - Matt Sturniolo
Summary: in which Matt hides his feelings for you, but eventually canât take it anymore.
Warnings: fluff, cursing,
A/N:
Matt couldnât hide it any longer. He couldnât hide his love for you. His feelings were hard to control when you were around. It was sickening. He didnât say anything about it, because he didnât want to hurt you or ruin the friendship you guys have. It was too important for, but he also couldnât stuff his feelings away any longer. He was in love with you and that was a problem.
Every time you hang out with Nick Mattïżœïżœïżœs in the room. Heâs always staring at you, but when you turn to look at him he quickly turns away. You didnât think much of it, until things changed. Matt started acting weird. He was always stuttering around you and didnât have proper conversations with you.
You had come to the tripletsâ house to make some pictures with Nick. The house was mostly quiet, only soft sounds were heard from Mattâs room. He was most likely playing fortnight. You sat down on the couch, waiting for Nick to return from his room.
âOh hey y/n..â you suddenly hear a voice say. You look at the figure, itâs Matt. A small smile forms on your face as you wave at him. He freezes at your smile, regretting his decision of coming out of his room. He was already getting nervous at the fact of his crush being infront of him. Suddenly a wave of confidence washes over him. It was now or never. âY/N i canât do this anymore.â He says, swallowing.
âCanât do what?â You ask, looking at him in confusion.
âI-â he runs his hand through his hair. Thereâs a moment of silence. He doesnât know what to say. He canât just say âhey im in love with you! Can we make out?â can he? Another deep breath leaves his mouth as he tries to get himself together. âFucking hell..â He holds his breath as he looks into your eyes to see any kind of reaction. âCanât you see how obsessed i am with you?â A surprised sound leaves your mouth. You donât say anything for a while, surprised by his confession.
âJesus Y/N, say something please.â He begs. His nervousness gets worse within seconds. Did you hate him now? âI- you like me?â You ask. Realization hits you hard. He actually likes you. Your mind goes blank at the thought, all your thoughts vanishing. He slides both his hands into his pockets, hiding how badly heâs sweating.
âYes Y/N and im tired of you not noticing! I tried everything to make you look at me, yet itâs not working.â He groans mentally, blaming himself for raising his voice at you. âSorry⊠i-â he starts, but gets cut off when you slam your lips against his. This kiss was everything he needed. Everything he needed to know you had the same feeling about him and it was amazing. It wasnât passionate, just full of love and desperation.
Your hands slide into his hair, gently pulling at it to get closer. His hands go down your sides, gripping you tightly. You slowly start backing up into a wall, which he does too. Then he pulls back to get some air. You look up into his blue eyes, smiling. He smiles back almost immediately, wiping your hair out of your face. âThat was..â he chuckles, still a hit breathless. âSo fuckinâ amazing.â
Suddenly you hear a laugh behind you. You turn around to see Nick standing there. He had watched the whole scene and was laughing by it. Matt rolls his eyes, before looking away. âTook you long enough, kid. Will you stop bothering me now youâve kissed the girl?â Nick smiles, before looking at you. âHe wouldnât stop talking about you. Seriously. It was so tiring.â
A small smile forms on your face. You look at Matt whoâs now filled up with embarrassment. âIâll leave you guys alone. Letâs do the pictures another time, alright?â Nick suggests. You nod, knowing you need time to let this sink in and spend some time with Matt.
This was gonna be great.

Today I logged into facebook for the first time in nearly 4 years and went through every profile in my friends list (like ~300) and purged out all the assholes (anyone who openly voted for Trump, other conservatives, and those who I strongly believe did). I've done this before so there weren't many but there are a number that have been wishy-washy with being outward in their bigotry and it helps me keep a mental list of people that deserve only the most very basic level of respect that I can muster because they certainly do not respect me nor people I care about nor many of their fellow human beings. Most disheartening is seeing friends and family who continue to put effort into engaging with people who argue in bad faith and weaponized ignorance.
I dated a man for nearly a year who went to women's and pro-choice rallies and liberal groups with me and said many times that he "was on my side" but turned out to be lying the whole time because he knew I definitely wouldn't date him otherwise. I'd known him for years before since we ran in the same friend circle. I wasn't the only one he had fooled. He slowly lifted the mask until we were constantly arguing because of his bigoted and racist remarks. His favorite thing to do was act oppressed and show me the most obvious Russian propaganda that he would get upset at me for fact-checking and asking for real sources. He wanted to argue, so what he hated most was when I refused to argue with him. Nothing I said was going to change his mind, so I wasn't going to humor or tolerate it (we didn't last long after that point, but by that time, I was afraid of leaving without an excuse that would be "good enough" for him). He legitimately wants civil war so that he can play survival hero and feel validated in his hatred. It didn't come on quickly and a lot of the comments started as "odd" off the cuff things through the time that we dated. He was very much pretending to be a kind person and once really called out, that pretense dropped. He thought I was more like him and that a lot of my regard and kindness for others is "fake." Because that's what a lot of people like that do - they fake being kind for optics, they are not actually kind people, and therefore presume that everyone else is doing the same thing. It's given me major trust issues.
Can't say this enough: these people feel validation in their bigotry when you continue to associate with them. They need to be dropped. They need to learn that their shitty beliefs mean that they get shunned. Make them feel uncomfortable. Quit tiptoeing around and coddling their delicate little feelings because they might get upset. It's okay for them to get upset because someone was mean and told them they don't like them because they think gay and trans people shouldn't exist. I once made a post about how a raped 11 year old child should never be expected to give birth, was told that it was "god's will" and like 5 people piled on the guy so badly he told us to stop being "mean" to him and was terrified to talk to me at work ever again (I have since cut all ties and no longer work with him). I'm personally extremely tired of playing nice for the sake of possibly "converting" someone - especially because you can be polite in telling someone to fuck off with their beliefs. Their beliefs are dangerous, are going to result in people losing their lives, and a frightening number of them are completely okay with that. We need to stop being tolerant of intolerance. It is okay to cut people (including family) from your life when all their presence does is bring you stress and harm.
In a similar vain, don't let the people who chose not to vote (or "protest voted") stick their heads in the sand to escape blame. They are just as culpable as anyone else who directly voted for Trump and other conservatives. They need to grow the fuck up.
For a lot of liberals, it's really uncomfortable to be confrontational and feel like you're being intolerant of someone, but it's way past time to play hardball and call them out instead of coddling them, especially as we're going into the holiday season where many of us will be seeing family with shitty views and targeted family that may need someone to stand up for them. Let them know they're shitty and inappropriate and a disappointment and unworthy of your regard because they certainly lack it for others. Obviously still be safe, but many of us very likely aren't losing anything of value in that scenario. Not having bigoted family members in my life in any way has made me so much happier.
A helpful tip to those who may find themselves in a confrontation: do not stay engaged. Let your views be known and then disengage. Because many of them love to argue and feel like they're defending themselves (many are addicted to those feelings of hatred and overcoming "oppression"), what they don't like is being ignored and feeling like you're rinsing your hands of them. They don't deserve your stress and constant efforts. There are ways to open a dialogue when they are willing to discuss civilly with an open mind, but if they bring intolerance, just shut it down.

This is a weird one but you asked for weird lmao
Werewolf Chan (or anyone) where he turns while inside of you?
I feel like if itâs going to be a werewolf it has to be Chan, right?
This one actually flowed out of me, which hasnât happened in a while. No overthinking with this one. Just pure, unhinged filth!!!
MDNI // MDNI // MDNI
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Cw: bf werewolf chan, size kink, bulge kink, very rough unprotected p in v sex, so much cum, cream pie, bleeding, biting, scratching, aftercare (he tries, itâs endearing)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You knew Channie was a werewolf for a while now. Youâd seen him change form often. Heâd go from cute, lovable boyfriend to wild and primitive wolf.
Usually when heâd turn, heâd have a plan in place. You had to shackle him to the bed so he couldnât escape. Then youâd keep your distance, save for checking up on him to ensure he hadnât broken free.
He was truly scary when he turned. From the pained look on his face as he transformed, to the animalistic growl that resounded through your house that had your heart racing. The claws that would grow that looked like they could rip you to shreds.
Then there was his cock. It would go from thick, delicious and veiny to horrifyingly enormous, heinous and brutal looking. It would still be veiny, only the veins were a lot more prominent, and the thickness made it look so so ugly so hideous. It looked like it could tear your cunt to pieces. And it made your mouth water.
This was when you realized you might be sick. Because sometimes youâd fantasize about what it might be like to be impaled on his huge werewolf cock.
Youâd think about it rearranging your insides, fucking you so good. You wondered if itâd hurt, and loved the idea that it probably would. And the cum? Fuck, how much cum would there be bursting out of the purple, angry tip?
You thought about what it might be like for him too. How tight your tiny, little human pussy would feel around his cock. How long would he last? Would you hurt him because youâd be so tight for him? Would it be a struggle to stuff it inside you? Would it fit at all?
>>>>
The time has come again for you to restrain him to the bed, and you go about it as per usual, helping him undress (because heâd ruin his clothes otherwise). But you canât get the image of his werewolf cock out of your head.
He lays naked on the mattress for you while you handcuff his wrists to the bed frame. You do the same with his ankles to the frame at the foot of the bed, and you lean over and kiss his mouth, one last kiss before he turns. He kisses you back, warm and passionately, then you pull away.
But instead of getting up to leave, you straddle him, and the more you think about your boyfriend turning, the wetter you become.
âBabygirl, what are you doing? You have to go!â He says worriedly with a confused expression.
But all you do is grind against him and whimper. He moans beneath you, and you feel him rapidly growing hard, and you lean down and kiss him again whilst continuing to seek friction against your clothed core.
âFuck! Please⊠you canât⊠you have to⊠fuck youâre making me so horny, babygirl.â
It makes you smirk against his lips. âChannie, Iâm so wet right now. Wanna feel me?â You purr.
He shakes his head âYou have to go! Please, itâs not safe.â He whispers desperately.
But you donât care about your safety. You sit up and remove your top, leaving you exposed from the waist up. Chan whines and tries to grind up against you.
Your little panties have quickly turned translucent from how wet youâve become as you drag your pussy over the length of his cock.
You can tell Chanâs resisting, the way heâs squeezing his eyes closed and turning his head away.
âI want you inside me, Channie. Donât ya wanna feel me before you turn?â You sigh.
âGod! Fuck! Yes!â He cries. âB-butââ
But you pull your panties to the side and sink down over his length. Heâs already throbbing and hard, so very hard. Itâs a stretch already, and heâs still human.
âSâdeep, Channie.â You choke, resting your hands on his chest to find purchase.
âYeah, babygirl? You like it when Channie fucks you good, even when heâs tied up.â He grunts as he thrusts his hips up into you hard, like heâs forgotten heâs trying to get you to leave.
âFuck yes, feels so good.â Your eyes roll back into your head when he hits that spot.
âSo horny, so needy for my cock⊠even when you know itâs dangerous, hmm?â He bites his bottom lip.
âYes.â You roll your hips slowly. âSo fucking horny. For your werewolf cock.â
You see him start to turn. The thrashing of the head against the pillow, the change in his eyes, the clawed hands in their restraints.
His body thrashes about too, and you are flung forward onto his chest. You have to hang on to his shoulders for dear life or youâd be thrown across the room.
A flicker of fear washes over you and you wonder if youâll survive this.
A loud, feral growl fills the room, and then you feel it - his cock rapidly expanding inside you, stretching you obscenely wide and lifting you off his hips because itâs too long. The hideous veins feeling like hard ridges against your walls. Your cunt is stretched taut around him.
âF-fuck!â You wail, as with every thrash of his body causes the tip to ram into your cervix.
You look up just in time to see the handcuffs rip from the bed frame, his legs freeing only moments after.
It all happens so fast. His clawed hands grip your ass cheeks, digging into the fresh and piercing the skin, drawing blood. He spreads your ass and then violently slams you down further onto his cock.
The air is jolted from your lungs as he flips you so youâre on your back and heâs on top of you, caging you in. He pins you down and pushes your legs wide and plunges into you brutally.
âToo deep, too much!â You cry out and peer down to see a bulge in your lower belly. You come just from the sight of what heâs doing to you and your body shudders underneath him.
He notices when your orgasm hits, and he growls in approval before doubling down and fucking you harder.
He pulls out suddenly, and the emptiness is almost to much to bare, your cunt settles down to itâs usual state, but you are still too empty.
You need your werewolf Channie to fuck you within an inch of your life.
He flips you back over, like a ragdoll, forcing your face into the pillow, and lifting your hips to meet the tip of his cock.
Heâs back inside you, chasing his own orgasm, leaning over your back and biting at your shoulder. Youâre bleeding there now too.
You scrunch your eyes up tight and fist the sheets in your hand. How much more can your body take? Yet you donât want it to end. Your mouth hangs open and drool is pooling on your pillow.
It feels like heâs fucking you for hours before he loses all control, lifting you so your back is flush to his chest.
He bounces you on his length while he gropes a breast. His other hand finds your clit. Just like your Channie to bring you to the precipice one more time before he cums. You practically scream the house down as your entire body shakes and tremors and tears stream down your cheeks.
With a loud, animalistic growl, he fills you to the brim. Thereâs so much cum you think itâs going to burst your insides open, and when he pulls out it gushes out of your gaping cunt.
You collapse on the bed, panting, sweating, dribbling, leaking and bleeding. But werewolf Chan has calmed down and he starts to lick your wounds, calming and soothing them.
You catch him eyes and he looks worried. He thinks heâs hurt you. Bravely, you reach out and stroke his furry muzzle.
âItâs okay, Channie. Felt so good.â You smile wearily. Youâre exhausted. Too exhausted to go clean yourself up, so you just curl up where you are, avoiding all the wet patches.
Channie curls up behind you, snuggling in and wagging his tail.
>>>>
You found that werewolf Chan was rather calm after fucking you like that, and you learned that given the chance to get all that pent up wild energy out of him, he would just curl up with while you watched tv, or while you worked on your laptop.
So from then on, everytime Chan would turn into a werewolf, youâd have sex and just hang out at home.
You didnât need your restrain him anymore (except for when you wanted to of course).
