His Black Tongue by Mitchell Lüthi

Lüthi tells four tales of very different people facing threats in very different worlds that are united by a sense of how fragile humanity’s control is in the face of a vast universe. … “”

Yelling about my September reads now! My general spoiler free thoughts below the cut ♥

His Black Tongue: When I first jumped into this I didn't realize it was short stories! I love short stories though. The first one was DEFINITELY my favorite by far. I was really hoping the next "part" would be a continuation of it because whoa - it gave me chills. It was very much religion based, but with the horror of vampires and demons on top of it. UHM, YES PLEASE. Overall I enjoyed the wording, style, and atmosphere of this author. If short stories and creepy vibes are your thing, I recommend this (esp the first story, but the rest are pretty good too!)

The Ritual: This book was turned into a movie and I've been meaning to watch it forever! So when I saw the book pop up I knew I had to give it a read. Started off, imo, really good, then there was a lot of bullshit in the middle, and it ended WILD. I'm not too familiar with British slang and stuff, but the way the author wove it into the dialogue in this was so much fun! I did watch the movie after reading, and I think it was a good adaptation of the book! If creepy, unsettling, deranged cult members in the middle of BFE woods is your thing, check this out!!

Blood and Steel: I can't remember where I saw this book/series recommended, but I'm so glad I started it. The world building, lore, and style is great! Sexual tension (and tension in general) is my JAM and this DELIVERS. I dove right into the 2nd and 3rd after finishing this one

Vows and Ruins: Second book following the above. Loved it! Tbh I wasn't expecting it to get so "spicy" (smutty, who are we joking), so that was a little surprising. I feel like the spice became repetitive and I think it would have hit better all around if there was less of it. BUT overall it was an awesome story! Kip and Cal are a blast!! The banter between them and Althea (the main character) is chefs kiss. Seriously

Fate and Furies: Third book to the two above! This story keeps getting better and better. Wilder (the main male character) is complex and seeing his character unfold is so much fun. He has lots of cards up his sleeve and I love all the surprises! There's one more book to this series and I'm not sure if I'm ready to say bye to them yet!

Stolen Tongues: I've seen this book EVERYWHERE so I had to finally give it a read. AND WOW IT'S FREAKY. It started off SO FREAKING GOOD. What is it with horror/thrillers having weird endings though? Ugh. Apparently this book started off as a reddit thread and it does read like a reddit thread. Imo it got repetitive and the characters could have been... better? more well written? more well rounded? i guess? Idk, I try to not put spoilers in these, but some of the characters who have no rhyme or reason to be STUPID end up being very stupid and it was... a challenge. For me, personally. But overall spooky book with some SCARY shit. If you wanna get freaked out and maybe sleep with the lights on (or an extra nightlight), check this out!

We Used To Live Here: Again. This started off really good. Then the ending??? Really? That ending? Idk man... I wanted to love it - and I still want to love it - but THAT ENDING? It gave me a hundred more questions and almost NOTHING was answered UGH. I really hope there will be a second book or something because WHOA. All I'm gonna say is if anyone came to me house and said "hey I used to live here and I'd really love to show my family where I grew up. Can we come in? It'll be 15 minutes tops. Promise." I would have said "NO." And closed the door. That's it. The end. This book had me STRESSED

HELL YEAH!

The One who Feasts in the Dark

This is why I don’t draw Nibbly often despite being my favorite design out of all his brothers.

In a classic chthonic deity fashion, I wanted to associate him physically with wealth, so studded along his body are the remains of the jewelry his sacrifices wore. Their pearly little veneers dot his gums amongst his more bestial teeth. Each of his own arms are made up of intertwined human arms with perfect manicures.

Bartylus doing the tiktok painting challenge and Regulus paints the most insanely gorgeous portrait of Barty that catches the mischievous glint in his eyes, the slight crook in his nose from where he broke it during 4th year, the unhealed hole in his eyebrow from where he removed his piercing, and his cheek dimples when he smiles.

Barty draws a sassy, disproportionate stickman Regulus.

Tinky brainrot hours.

[lexithwrites]

Okay, okay, hear me out.

Regulus riding James, and spelling his and James’ names with his hips.

Oh for sure 👌 regulus is a protective mother fucker and if anyone looks at James in a flirty way he’s on him, but in bed especially he wants James to know he’s his and he pins james’ wrists down and slowly rotates his hips into an R and his boyfriends eyes go so wide and reg grins and is like ‘this is mine’ and he clenches around his dick and it just sends James into heaven and he manages to stop himself from cumming until reg has finished quite literally fucking his name lmao

fratboy!yeonjun hard thoughts

you attend one of his weekly parties, and he sees you sitting by yourself on the couch beside a couple who are aggressively swallowing each other’s tongues while you sip on your jack and coke.

fratboy!yeonjun who makes eye contact with you from the kitchen, leaning on the island countertop while taking a swig of his preferred beverage and mouthing “come over.”

it isn’t until you get up and make your way towards him when his smirk gradually appears. he pulls you in for a hug, your arms over his shoulders and his around your waist but his hands trail down until it’s under you pleated skirt, squeezing your ass.

fratboy!yeonjun who whispers so nonchalantly, “if it were just us here I’d bend you over this counter and fuck you from behind.” causing you to whimper against his neck. “you really want that huh? next time I’ll invite you over when no one’s here. gonna make it real, yeah?”

you nod desperately hoping it’ll happen sometime soon. your nod is followed by your head lolling back slightly, fighting back the urge to let out a small moan as if anyone would hear from the music blaring out around the house. your skin tingling from the delicate, wet kisses yeonjun leaves behind your ear and down your neck, nibbling and sucking here and there until he’s satisfied with the dark hues of his territory on your neck.

fratboy!yeonjun who turns you around, your back hitting his chest and his erection slowly grinding against your lower back/top of your ass with his arms wrapped around your waist. “you’re so cute, you know?” he says as he sways you gently, but his hips are non-stop bucking against your skirt, loving the friction against his jeans.

“let’s go upstairs?”

Regulus with back dimples

guys i know we all love and support the reg back dimples agenda, but what if i proposed... back dimple piercings. like with low rise jeans.. oh my god. james would probably faint at the sight of them because all the blood in his body would immediately rush to his dick

Give it up for everybody’s favourite street rat!!!

Castys & Terror AU Masterlist - Castys Masterlist - Next→

Ingredients: shockingly, tongue gets cut off! some suffocation as well

Castys wasn’t great at sitting in chairs normally, something his parents had always reprimanded him for, but, hey, they’d never taken it as far as to fucking tie him to one, and Castys was grateful. This shit was uncomfortable. Like, yeah, the rough ropes around his wrists and ankles were tight and itchy, but also the position just sucked. Not that he’d rather be standing or something-

“You must be Castys!” The door had swung open, and now this little lady with a white coat on was walking up to him. 

“Yes, I’m Castys,” he said flatly as she scurried behind him before coming back without her bag. And then she just…stared at him. Castys wasn’t sure what she was looking at, since there really wasn’t much to see, just, like, him. Eventually her eyes wandered up to his, and she jumped in place a bit.

“Oh, right, I’m Neteri.” She stuck her hand out like she expected him to shake it.

“You know I’m tied up, right?”

“Ah. Yeah.” Her skin was dark enough that it wasn’t immediately obvious that she was blushing, but Castys was pretty sure she was. She ended up awkwardly grabbing his right hand and shaking it a bit. “I, um, I’ll be preparing you for this afternoon. Sorry, I’m just a bit nervous.”

“Well, you’re not tied to a chair so I think you’ll be okay.”

She laughed. “You’re right, you’re right, but I’m just…I think I’m going to do something I’m not supposed to do.”

Castys raised an eyebrow. “Let me go because I’m funny?”

Neteri rolled her eyes, but she was smiling, so clearly she did think he was funny. “No, you’re staying put, sorry bud. But I think I’m going to keep you. You’re kind of perfect.” She tried to cup his cheek in her hand, but Castys leaned away, staring at her with wide eyes.

“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” His mouth was really dry all of a sudden, he wasn’t perfect, he was a fuck-up, a useless heir, that had been his goal, he wasn’t good at anything he was supposed to be good at, he wasn’t well-mannered or polite, he had a huge fucking scar on his face and a lopsided smile because of it, he was filthy and vulgar and didn’t have any interest in getting married he was absolutely anything but perfect. So why the hell did she want him?

“It’s not important right now. You’ve got a big day ahead of you!” She clapped her hands, dismissing the subject entirely. He wanted to press her further, but after seeing the lovely object she pulled out of her pocket, everything else was forgotten.

“No. Absolutely not.”

“Aw, what are you gonna do about it, Castys? I thought you were tied to a chair!” Great, now it was his turn to feel his face grow hot, because, yeah, what the fuck was he gonna do?

Normally, he doubted he’d immediately recognize it for what it was, but today, right now, after just being told this lady wanted to keep him, it was instantly clear. And Neteri was right, he was only able to squirm uselessly and lean away as she wrapped the collar around his neck without much trouble. His first swallow after she’d sealed it shut felt horrible, and he absolutely did not want to get used to it.

“See, it’s not so bad. It looks cute on you!” She ruffled his hair, which only made Castys more uncomfortable.

“I don’t want to be cute. I’m not a fucking dog.” He wasn’t sure whether the collar was part of Neteri’s weird desires or just to humiliate him, but either way he hated it.

“No, you’re not, but you’re also not a prince anymore, and you’re the property of the Xernan Empire, and this is a good reminder of that,” Neteri said as she walked around behind him, probably to her bag. Castys rolled his eyes. He didn’t need to be reminded that he wasn’t a prince, since it was his favorite new development in all of this. Unless…unless it wasn’t just a reminder for him, but for everyone else, too…He really, really hoped there wasn’t going to be some sort of public display, but given how Neteri’d said he had a “big day” ahead…fuck, that was probably the case, huh?

“Now, I’m going to…oh, I might get in so much trouble for this,” Neteri muttered as she stared at the floor, standing in front of him once again. She had leather gloves on, which would have been nice earlier when she was touching him, and she was holding…a pair of shears? He didn’t think she’d put on gloves if she was just going to cut his hair, and given that she thought she might get in trouble for it, it seemed like she was going to…maim him somehow. Castys curled his hands into fists as Neteri slapped her cheeks with her palms, still talking to herself. “No, I’m going to do this. I deserve it. It’s not that far off from what the emperor wants. Okay,” she held the shears up and gave Castys a concerningly bright smile. “Any last words?”

For once, Castys didn’t take the opportunity to speak.

Instead, he locked his jaw shut tight, teeth clenched so hard it hurt, lips pressed together, walls of protection around his tongue. 

That’s what she wanted, wasn’t it?

Neteri cocked her head, watching him. “Nothing to say all of a sudden? No jokes?” Her smile disappeared as her eyes narrowed. “You figured it out, didn’t you, Castys? What I’m going to do to you.”

He didn’t bother nodding.

Neteri stepped up to him, her knee on the chair in between his legs, leaning over him, her face right above his as he craned back to avoid her. “You’re going to have to get used to obeying me, Castys.” The cold metal of the shears rested on his cheek. “So open your mouth.”

If there’s one thing Castys was good at, it was disobeying orders.

After a few moments of neither of them moving, Neteri pinched Castys’s nose shut with her free hand, not saying a word. Fine, he could play that game. Hold on as the pressure in his chest built, as his head started to spin, as his vision started to darken, every fiber of his being screaming at him to just give in to the inevitable and take a breath. He could do it quick, a little gasp, fast enough that she wouldn’t be able to do anything. Okay, three, two…

The exhale was shaky, but it was fine, just a quick inhale as he snapped his mouth shut-

His teeth scraped against metal, the sensation sending shivers down his spine.

Neteri stared at him with a detached coldness as she rotated the shears, forcing his jaw open wide, wide enough for her to stick her hand in and grab his tongue, pulling it out despite his attempts to pull it back, turning the shears to the side now, opening them up, the cold blades-

Snip.

Castys’s mouth was hot it was burning he was choking the smell of blood was so strong he was suffocating on it her hand was still in his mouth her fingers pressed against his wound magic piercing through his jaw he’d scream if he had the air and then that was it her hand was gone he lurched forward coughing and spitting blood and saliva all down the front of the threadbare shirt he’d been given and once he saw the discarded little piece of pink flesh on the floor he couldn’t look at anything else he couldn’t believe that was it it was gone it wasn’t in his mouth his mouth was empty there was only the blood still dripping out and when Neteri laid a hand on his back he wanted to growl at her not to touch him but he couldn’t he couldn’t say anything anymore he was quiet nothing to say no thoughts or opinions of his own just how his parents had wanted him-

“It’s alright, Castys, just breathe. It was a little more difficult than it needed to be, but you did it.” And why did it need to be at all? “Just two more things left today and then you can rest. And then hopefully…” Her hand slid up, resting on the back of his neck, on that awful collar, and Castys wanted to scream. He never, ever wanted to belong to her.

But what he wanted didn’t matter anymore.

Castys was dragged out and whipped and branded and left out on display, brought back and patched up by Neteri and given soup that he couldn’t taste, and when the door slammed shut behind her, he finally allowed himself to cry.

His back and chest hurt, of course, the wounds aggravated no matter how he moved or what position he laid in, but he could deal with it. It was nothing compared to what he’d lost, the little pocket of empty space inside his mouth.

Words were all he’d ever have to really fight back, complaining when he was forced to do things he didn’t want to, scaring off all the suitors his parents picked out, jokes keeping him calm when he was scared or upset, even when he couldn’t do anything he could still say something, make sure everyone knew how he felt, and now he was more helpless than ever before and he couldn’t say a single fucking thing. 

He didn’t even know where he was going to end up, either sold off to some asshole or left in Neteri’s clutches, and no matter what, he wasn’t going to be treated like a person. The collar made it pretty clear. He was less than human now, a pet, a lab rat, property, something that didn’t need to have thoughts or opinions anymore. 

He’d rather be a prince after all.
