I hope one day I have the will to practice drawing and git gud so I can make some evil little bastards kiss after trying to beat the shit out of each other. Because there’s only so much you can do with words
…especially when you have not ever kissed anyone and all your knowledge comes from bad fics written by other people who have (likely) never kissed anyone
#guh#I have so many things to do too. fun things. things that I don’t have time for. it’s not fair#I don’t know if y’all noticed but I already have like three active writing projects.#but there’s also uh. crochet. and games to play.#music things to do. bike to ride (desperately needs its tires pumped up). ROLEPLAYS TO RESPOND TO#although if I stopped fuckin sleeping all afternoon maybe I’d have more time!!!!!!#I don’t know if it’s a wonky sleep schedule or depression but there’s gotta be something I can do about it either way#sighs#anyways. thinking about many blorbos#I would also like to draw much fluff. onyx and raven… cherry and lime….. Ollie and Gecko and Clove and Maggie…..#I’d draw sooo much supernova too. make them almost kill each other#hm. actually.

@everlived sent: ❛ I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary. ❜ - bel
Tumblr media
sadie stretches out on the couch next to jezebel, her shoulders popping with the effort. she's got to stretch more-- sadie isn't as young as she used to be, even if she wants to fool herself into believing that. there's a hum as she ponders bel's statement, her hands lacing together over her stomach. her eyes close as she thinks.
for a moment, it looks as if she's sleeping (a miracle, especially for an insomniac).
" -- you say that like you don't occupy my thoughts in any case. " her words are slow, purposefully picked. " i think of you every waking moment. it would be hard for you to not be noticed, y'know. i'd notice if you weren't there. "

How They Found Out |Naruto Boys X Reader| HC
Tumblr media
Part Two Masterlist Ko-fi
Characters: Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Shikamaru Nara, Kakashi Hatake
Summary: How your relationship ended up being revealed.
Warnings: Naruto's is short af because he's an open book. Deal with it. NSFW themes. Mentions of sex and being caught.
- - - - -
Sasuke Uchiha
You'd been together for about a year at this point. In the beginning, you'd agreed to keep it hush-hush until you'd figured things out.
Before you knew it, it'd been more than six months since your first date, and it was still secret. You enjoyed the privacy of it, but didn't enjoy hiding things from your friends.
So you decided to stop actively keeping it a secret and instead allow things to come out naturally.
But that was six months ago and still no one knew.
Sasuke hated PDA and no one had asked either of you about relationship stuff, so it was still quiet.
That is until today.
You two were victims of Narutos' lack of boundaries and awareness.
It was late at night, about 11pm, you were in Sasuke's apartment.
He was drilling into you, his hands holding down your legs and mouth connected to your neck.
You were too busy enjoying the all encompassing feeling of him fucking you, and he was too busy ravaging you to hear Naruto enter the front door.
Suddenly, the bedroom door swings open. Narutos face very quickly goes from his usual happy-go-lucky to a horrified, dramatic look.
Sasuke is quick to cover you with the sheets before he yells at Naruto to get the Hell out.
Naruto is already way ahead of him, bolting straight out the front door and to God knows where.
After that, it wasn't long before the whole village knew. Honestly, once Gai found out, there was no one who didn't know.
Naruto Uzumaki
Find out? Ha! There is no finding out because he immediately told anyone and everyone the second you agreed to a date.
If he did somehow manage to keep it quiet, it really wouldn't be long until it got out.
Hes just so... excited to be with you.
He likes showing you off like a prize. He likes going on dates and holding your hand and loudly proclaiming that you're his.
You don't mind, of course.
Shikamaru Nara
You two lay around together most days. A while back, you shared a kiss, and it very VERY slowly escalated from there.
It was almost six months before you actually had sex.
Mostly because he'd somehow rationalized kissing was "just something you guys did" and didn't require any extra thought.
The sex was amazing. Slow and passionate, just like you'd expect from the lazy Nara.
And so things continued on like that. A relationship had formed, but it was never something either of you talked about.
You liked his parents and they liked you. You'd help his mom with dinner some nights and played Shogi with Shikaku. They didn't question your relationship either.
Things stayed on the down low for almost eighteen months before someone finally brought up something regarding his romantic life.
"So, Shikamaru, who was your first kiss?" Choji asked one night in the bath house.
The question caught him off guard since he wasn't usually included in these types of conversations. (They mostly assumed he wasn't interested in women, or something like that.)
"Hm? Oh, Y/N."
Cue the silence. Then total chaos.
"What?? When was this?" Kiba asked.
"I don't know... sometime around the solstice last year."
That sparked a lot of questions from his friends, only some of which he'd answered.
The guys relayed all the information to the girls the next day, where they then went and hounded you for answers.
Despite all of your friends knowing about your relationship, nothing changed between you and Shikamaru.
You just stayed... whatever it is you were.
Kakashi Hatake
Gai, Kurenai, and Iruka all had their suspicions about you two but had nothing to back it up. It's been years at this point, yet they still come up empty-handed.
That is, until Kakashi’s students decided they were interested in his love life, and began to poke around.
It's after the war; Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke are fully grown adults, but something is just so tempting about reverting to their youthful days of trying to spy on their sensei.
Kakashi is all for it, partially because he's glad his students are getting along again, and partially because he's grown tired of keeping secrets.
This is something he discusses with you, and as he predicted, you're completely on board.
You gradually make yourself seen with Kakashi over the next week- leaving the Hokage tower with him, getting dinner with him, and even allowing him to walk you to his apartment.
The kids watch all of this happen, but there's no evidence that actually proves anything, just like Gai sensei had told them in the beginning.
So they continue to stalk you two around the village. They're better at it than when they were little, but it's still pretty easy to spot them.
At the end of the week, when you're sure all three of them are watching, Kakashi kisses you in front of your front door.
You watch as they all zip away, surely off to meet up or possibly report back to your friends.
You and Kakashi can only laugh.

my dream for a modern live action death note:
- it takes itself completely seriously. i want ZERO irony/making fun of itself. i need some actor man to take a potato chip and eat it with total seriousness.
- light and L have an insane amount of tension, i’m talking destiel levels of eye sex and queerbaiting, but they are never allowed to kiss. maybe when L dies they get one ambiguously queer line. but it’s gotta stay at least a little bit ambiguous
- misa isn’t explicitly homophobic anymore but she is like That #ally (just more subtly homophobic) (obviously shes gay but she doesn’t know that yet). instead of “are you on THAT side of the fence ryuzaki” she’s like “it’s FINE if you’re gay but light is MY boyfriends and i just don’t think it’s APPROPRIATE” and L just ignores her completely. she claims L as her Gay Best Friend despite him never confirming if he’s queer and her not really liking him. for Diversity
- she’s like i can’t be homophobic i do a pride month photoshoot and L is like okay. i don’t care
- focus on how the 24 hour news cycle, overwhelming access to information, and constant fearmongering and doomscrolling drives light fucking crazy (sorry i have to be weird about light here)
- instead of a magazine light very blandly watches porn on his laptop. looking actively bored. L doesn’t say explicitly “your son is gay” but he looks over at soichiro and says something like “hm. he’s popular with girls, you said? okay.”
- some awful misa and light sex scene but it cuts between that and light at L’s grave, their months handcuffed together, etc. hannibal style or something idk i’ve never seen it i just got a play by play from a friend
- naomi gets a bigger part because she’s awesome
- light and L are stuck in ambiguously queer purgatory but rem is very explicitly in love with misa. they kiss once before she dies and from then on misa seems a little more subdued with light. like she’s not so sure she really wants him
- when the detectives are talking about L someone mentions how he’s “on the spectrum” and everyone nods seriously. later it’s mentioned again and L overhears and he’s like you can just say autistic. everyone apologizes profusely but he does not give a shit

state of the union is like. buck is bisexual. yay! we love that. however he is currently dating someone who is hm. well. i shan't say. a man who was at minimum complicitly (if not outwardly) racist/sexist not so long ago, and not just in an amorphous hypothetical way but in a way that directly impacted buck's brother in law and a woman who he considers family so. okay. that's Bad, generally speaking, and it is sort of implied that there was some reconciliation there but it is also a little concerning that the boyfriend kind of talks about that time as like something that was done to him by an outside force (gerrard) rather than as something that he personally did as an active participant in his own life, like that genuinely does not bode well for him and the way he looks at the world.
and of course then there's eddie, who is buck's family and his partner and the father of the child who buck definitely does consider his own, and eddie is trapped in a hurricane of emotion (and possibly bees), and he is growing a mustache which is either part of an alternate universe, or part of a gay awakening, or honestly possibly just an earnest and realistic depiction of a quintessentially millennial mid-30s identity crisis. and i don't really know where we go from here but what i DO know is that if eddie himself is not also queer on some level, well first of all. his character and actions and storylines are genuinely inexplicable to me. but second of all, the show does sort of have to address the elephant in the room which is the fact (like, not just implication but actual fact) that buck has feelings for him. like even if eddie is straight as an arrow (lmao) buck is not, and their friendship is so far beyond normal that like. get real.

buck and tommy and josh and eddie have weekly game nights together. just simple couple activities, double dates and such. they're innocent, light hearted nights. but josh has always felt something like looming tension between all of them.
josh knows eddie has had thoughts about buck, knows he's definitely had thoughts about tommy, has woken up in the middle of the night to eddie bucking his hips against the mattress and moaning their names enough times to know that eddie has plenty of thoughts. and he's pretty sure buck and tommy have whispered dirty things to each other while watching josh and eddie dance together in those dimly lit gay clubs they used to visit more frequently. he's pretty sure they're all on the same page about this but he's about to tear his damn hair out because no one's doing anything about it. they just keep having long, lust-filled looks over monopoly and connect four. so he does what eddie always accuses him of and he schemes.
it's 8 o'clock and they're hosting tonight. josh gets the drinks and makes the little platters and pays chris 20 dollars to ask if he can sleep over at a friend's house (which he finds out later he was already planning on doing anyway so now he's out 20 bucks and chris is lucky josh loves him). he makes eddie put on that pink button up that makes his arms look good and is very fun to take off (mi corazón, it's just buck and tommy, why am i not allowed to wear my sweatpants?" "they don't match the button-up" "okay so why am i wearing a button-up?"). he himself throws on his tightest pants and a ribbed polo (they get a little distracted and let their chicken burn but buck always brings over an extra dish anyways so they carefully deposit it into the trash and continue groping each other.)
when buck and tommy finally knock on their door, he doesn't miss the sharp breath that buck sucks in as he looks eddie up and down. he also doesn't miss the way buck's eyes refocus when tommy's hand comes around to pinch buck's elbow a little. they share a glance and tommy bites his lower lip.
they exchange their normal pleasantries as always, rib each other, talk about their shifts, a few hilarious calls, the delicious food buck brought over and politely ignore the burnt smell coming from the kitchen. josh makes a point to let his hand linger on tommy's shoulder for seconds too long and watches eddie's throat bob as he swallows. then the games begin.
it's some card game tonight that josh is half paying attention to. he decides when eddie brings back the third round of beers for the night that it's now or never. he suggests a light game of truth or dare. ("what are we, russo? 12?" "what are you, diaz? chicken?")
they start easy ("who was your first guy crush, buck?" "hm, probably my gym teacher from middle school, mr. hudgens" "buck's old person fetish strikes again." buck and eddie throw pillows at each other for a second, tommy feigns offense but pets buck's hair with a sickeningly sweet smile, josh is mentally high fiving himself.) he tries to gently guide buck and eddie away from childish dares to more adult truths. he locks eyes with tommy while buck and eddie argue over how many marshmallows buck could hypothetically fit in his mouth (not exactly what josh had in mind but they're going in the right direction here).
he knows he's been figured out and for a second thinks tommy is about to slap his thighs and say "well im beat, let's go before he can try to seduce my partner any more" but tommy squints his eyes, then raises his brows as if to ask for confirmation, and when josh nods, tommy licks his lips and nods back, turning back to watch the love of his life smile at him with spit and sugar falling out of his mouth (the answer was 20 marshmallows for those keeping score).
tommy lets josh guide them, but aids by steering the questions and dares in a leading direction and kissing at buck's neck every so often to keep buck flushed and blushing. josh decides to ramp it up when eddie chooses truth for the first time the whole game and josh pushes his foot up against eddie's leg and asks "what's the most recent sex dream you've had?"
eddie stutters and shakes his head. josh doesn't think buck realizes he's leaning forward or that tommy's hand is gently massaging his thigh. tommy's gaze flickers to josh with a nervous expression ("did we push too far? was it too much, too quick?")
"you don't have to answer, babe," except josh knows eddie, "you know, if it's too much of a challenge, of course, you can always skip it."
eddie's posture straightens and he eyes josh up a bit. it's a challenge, as always, a threat, a proposition, a loving exchange of harshness.
eddie clears his throat (good boy, josh thinks to himself, he'll tell eddie that later) and starts speaking. "well, obviously you were there."
"anyone else?" tommy asks, trying hard to sound bored and a little patronizing. (josh kinda wants to suck his dick about it, he knows eddie does too because he stutters a little and shakes his head and starts over).
"obviously, you were there, josh. of course. um- and, you know it was just a dream but-"
out of the corner of josh's eye, tommy starts to kiss buck's neck again. buck tilts his head to give him more room, closing his eyes and gasping when josh assumes tommy sinks his teeth in a little. he doesn't look, he's too busy watching eddie watch them.
"uh-" eddie starts again, and josh takes that opportunity gently run his fingertips along the back of eddie's hairline, which always gets him purring.
josh is starting to think maybe eddie needs a little push, so he leans in close and bites his ear, turning his soft traces in eddie's hair to a firm tug in buck's direction. he points, "was he there, baby?"
eddie nods, cheeks flushed red, "buck and tommy," his knee jerks and his legs fall open, "they were both- and we were all-"
tommy's hand moves from buck's thigh up to palm him through his jeans, buck's eyes are half-lidded and glazed over as he watches eddie struggle to explain.
eddie looks over to josh, finally, and josh doesn't know what good deed he's done to deserve the look eddie gives him but he'll thank whatever god deemed him worthy of it.
eddie whispers low and quiet, just for them, "baby, you know i wouldn't- you know you're it-"
josh kisses him sweetly, trying to say "you don't have to explain, you don't have to justify anything when you're with me, we can love each other and love other people and come home to each other every day. our house can just be filled with love, not obligation or rules. just let yourself enjoy this, you're so beautiful when you enjoy yourself, you're so beautiful when you let yourself be loved."
but that's a lot of emotion and there are far too many things to say that he just doesn't have the vocabulary for and he thinks that if he tries to say any more than three words, he'll burst into tears and not in the sexy way. so instead he rubs his thumb over eddie's cheek and says, "i know, love."
eddie nods and looks back to tommy, "i think it's buck's turn, now, right?"
buck, dazed out of his mind, wrinkles his forehead, "huh?" is all he gets out while tommy continues his attack on his neck.
"truth or dare, baby." tommy supplies.
buck smiles, "jesus, okay, so we're doing this. uh, dare."
eddie gets on his knees and shuffles forward until their nose to nose, he briefly puts a hand on tommy's neck and there's a small exchange that passes between them. something like permission. josh makes a mental note to revisit that. tommy bites buck's ear once last time and looks up at eddie through his lashes, resting his chin on buck's shoulder.
"what's it gonna be, eds?"
"kiss me."
josh watches buck and eddie take out seven plus years of tension and emotion on each other, biting each other's lips and digging fingernails into each other's waists. tommy pets buck's hair and rubs his back until buck turns and kisses him quick and dirty, whimpers out "daddy" which makes eddie's jaw drop before leaning back and out of the way so eddie has full access to his partner. buck beckons josh over while eddie and tommy wrestle each other on the ground. he slides between his legs easily and when josh tastes him he suddenly understand why tommy's always walking around, looking like he's got his heart outside of his body. they get lost in each other, the four of them. they get lost in their mouths, skin, and heat; lost in their love and friendship and romance.
they collapse together on the floor of eddie and josh's living room.
"so, uh, game nights?" tommy comments, tracing over buck's ribs.
"hm, yeah i like this game." josh adds.
"same time next week, right?" buck turns to face josh and eddie, but josh gives the floor to eddie.
eddie licks his lips, "can't wait. but, uh, you guys are hosting next time."

"Fuck it, I'm going to go back to calling people Nazis if they look at me funny." - 4:20 is the timestamp.
She is such a fascinating streamer, no? Dead air, no music, bringing up a cosplayer who killed themselves over accusations after saying it's perfectly fine and good to make flippant accusations. Telling her viewers to mass report Ant's videos, something which youtube found her so inert and completely fucking unable to meaningfully achieve they automatically considered his report solved because there was never any meaningful threat to begin with.
Anyway, it means nothing. This accusation. These words. Nothing, but meaningless piss from a person who so loudly declares their victimhood and cries about their status as a poc, a transwoman, a disabled person who lives off government assistance.
These things that all of which would have made you a victim of this meaningless regime to you. Let's look at who they targeted!
Black people
Civilians accused of disobedience, resistance, or partisan activity
Gay men, bisexuals, and others accused of deviant sexual behavior
 whose religious beliefs conflicted with Nazi ideology, such as Jehovah’s Witnesses
people with disabilities 
Slavic People
Political opponents and dissenters in Germany such as communists
Roma and other people derogatorily labeled as “Gypsies” 
Social outsiders in Germany derogatorily labeled as “asocials” or “professional criminals”
Soviet Prisoners of War. 
Hm, would you look at that? It seems we both meet the measure of those who would be eradicated. We would be victims of Nazis, Lily. Both of us.
Most estimates place the total number of deaths during the Second World War at around 70-85 million people. Approximately 17 million of these deaths were due to crimes against humanity carried out by the Nazi regime in Europe. In comparison to the millions of deaths that took place through conflict, famine, or disease, these 17 million stand out due to the reasoning behind them, along with the systematic nature and scale in which they were carried out.
They were 17 millions of us. A number not one of us can begin to fathom the actual scale of.
So why do only I know the weight of this between us, Lily? Are you really so disconnected from what you are that that multi generation eradicating horror is something you can't comprehend? Nazi isn't some flighty term like Republican that can mean anything from a out of touch grandma who thinks a house can still be bought for 25k to a man holding a tiki torch saying we should nuke downtown Atlanta. Nazis are one thing. They are the thing I struggle to describe as people, but they were and are people and we must remember the great evil people are capable of.
These are not the same thing. You can't just fling Nazi out like it's meaningless. To do so demeans not just the victims, but people still living. You belittle us. You belittle yourself. When you reduce Nazi to a buzzword you take away the sheer magnitude of the violence and loss they caused. Nazi is a word with meaning. It should hurt to say because of how heavy it is.
Have some pride. Have some dignity. Some grace. Have some respect for our lost kin and those that would have been our friends, for the strangers that would have been connected to us by the single thread of this group's hatred.
Give that word it's meaning.
This part is for all of us who have grown too casual with our language, not just her,
Stop calling people Nazis unless they are. Nazis aren't fairytale creatures or monsters under the bed. They're human. They're your brother, your father, your cousin, your next door neighbor. That's what's so scary about them. They're just people. Hateful people. They look like you and me. Look at what a Nazi is. Look at their beliefs. Look at what they did. Memorize it. We all must look even though it hurts because we need to be able to identify them and half of that is giving that word weight so when we see the danger we can name it. For our own safety.
It's time to demand better. It's time to have meaning. It's time to use our words and use them accurately.

Okay I'm a tad tipsy and I've been mulling the idea over for a while about an anaysis of FNaF's accidental queer themes so here's a quick bulletpoint list:
Mangle and her use of she/him pronouns. Gender 'yes'. Multigender King. Funtime Foxy also having that gender ambiguity is interesting too.
Michael's whole thing of being hollowed out and forced to live in a dead body, hiding in shadows, reads queer to me (very loosly but it still reads).
Like... most things about William. Springbonnie's nonbinaryness, his obsession with Henry, the way he overlaps with the 'transfem serial killer' trope, and he specifically targets children ontop of that. By far the topic I have the most to say on.
Freddy Fazbear and Bonnie the Bunny cannon gay now? Discuss.
Linking those last two points: who's fursonas are those? Hm? Who is the bear and who is the rabbit? Answer me, coward.
Charlie in the books is trans. She's embodying the corpse of a woman who doesn't and has never existed at her father's behest. Bro I did that for 17 years!!!
Point about 'how can a guy who explicitly does not care and does active harm to a community I am a part of stumble into creating something that resonates with its queer themes?' Interesting. Many answers.

hm i really hope that someone has said this better than me but the betterhelp ads (specifically the video ones, as the podcast ones tend to be less scripted) are such poignant examples of alienation + the role of 'go to therapy' in perpetuating that alienation. keep in mind that, if you personally found a therapist who is genuinely healing for you + that therapist happens to be through betterhelp- i'm genuinely happy for you + that experience does not invalidate anything i have to say below! (but jsyk they're trying to sell your shit to facebook lol)
starting strong w/ the fact that betterhelp is essentially the uber of therapy (aka using an independent contractor model which is harmful + predatory towards its providers), rushing in to fill the market on largely uninsured and/or uninformed ppl who want the ease of a concierge system without the cost + lacks a meaningful supervision system (which led to one gay man being recommended a conversion therapist when he asked for someone to help with his identity struggles, btw!). smarter people than me have written about the ways in which these trendy independent contractor apps strip people of labor rights, fail to provide adequate wages, + in the case of healthcare apps, increase digital surveillance + decrease accountability demanded from providers while exploiting the failure of the US healthcare system in order to churn a profit w/o actually creating sustainable, equitable change.
the betterhelp video ads all circle around a theme- a millennial starts talking about some form of emotional pain or worry, usually relatively standard existential worries ("do you ever think nothing has meaning?") or life worries ("i hate my job" "i think i'm gay"). their friends or the ppl around them respond blankly + coldly, looking at them like they're crazy. while i understand these ads are supposed to be tongue in cheek, they demonstrate the crushing reality of our alienation from one another- the solution to your friends responding to your evident pain with confusion + apathy is to confine that pain to a therapy session! nobody wants to hear your struggles or understands them- come generate profits for us by facetiming a newly graduated 24 year old who can barely make rent!
this theme fits well with what already put me off about betterhelp's marketing- their goal has never been to provide access to therapy for those who want it or to altruistically fill in some healthcare gap. their goal, bolstered by the rise in emotional suffering following, you know, the worldwide pandemic, is to generate + increase demand for therapy as a commodity. their earlier podcast ads focused on convincing others that therapy "isn't just for crazy ppl" + "everyone should be in therapy". regardless of if you personally agree with that statement, it should be evident that this is a blatant marketing tactic in which therapy is a commodity to be peddled, not an offer of support or healing. in fact, they're probably actively shying away from treating "crazy people", bcuz their flimsy support systems could not possibly handle an influx of ppl regularly in crisis or experiencing breaks with a common reality. their target audience is your average millennial under late capitalism + post COVID - anxious, lonely, vaguely depressed, unhappy with their jobs, worried + hopeless about their futures.
i'm not here to tell anyone not to get therapy. that's a personal decision + is none of my fucking business. it's about questioning the total alienation we feel from one another, such that pouring our heart our unexpectedly to a friend + being met with a blank stare is framed as "haha you need therapy" + not "it's crushing that this is how distant we are from one another". it's about a company noticing that (unfortunately very real) distance + fear of vulnerability + using that to direct our emotions into the confines of a business transaction under abusive labor conditions. it's about a world in which we are not engaging with one another emotionally (despite, or i guess bcuz of: widespread suffering, recent mass death, class warfare/untenable working conditions, increased pressure of fascist politics, generational trauma + abuse, etc etc). commodifying therapy isn't going to make that loneliness go away- it's going to normalize it.

Why does Rhodes island only hire gay people. Are you some kind of heterophobic organization or something
We here at Rhodes Island pride ourselves in our diversity. However, we understand that we should represent all operators in our organization, which is why I've been hard at work preparing a Straight Pride(tm) Half Day to make sure our operators who only swing one specific, opposite adjacent and locked in way feel seen. I've prepared a slew of specific activities for our fellow Heties, which includes:
A fine assortment of dry crackers for consumption (no cheese)
Various re-runs of sitcoms that involve nuclear family values, such as Cheers, or Everybody Loves Raymond
Discussion circles about how to manage Heterosexuality and the struggle of everyday identity expression (I can't be in it and neither can any main Rhodes Islands staff, speaker to be determined)
Speed-dating operators for our lonely hearts who can't seem to catch a break finding their one true not-their-gender love (with a heavy heart we excluded polyamories from this equation for the odd folks out as it would result in an unheterosexual pair-up no matter how you split it)
A Straight Pride Flag demonstration in said conference room (locked, with no one else able to see or have it visible, and put away after the end of the event)
And so much more!
I can't wait to see all of our profoundly heterosexual operators show up to our event, such as... uh... um... hm... well, you know who you are.

Day 12: Somnophilia | Nighttime Kerfuffle
Tumblr media
Pairing: Taehyung x male!Reader
Genre: NSFW
Words: 492
🎃 Sorry for not posting on time I am a college student! 🎃
A/N: FUCK tea(the video referring to consent everyone’s watched), I’m a kinky ass bitch. Although most of y’all beg to differ I LOVE consenting to the idea of my partner doing stuff to me while I’m asleep to get off. It’s like…fuck, yeah, use me while I’m passed out because you’re such a horny little bastard who can’t go five seconds without some pussy (or bussy can’t forget the gays and n/b friends!). Anyways…enjoy. The cover is AI-designed, btw.

He moved his hips teasingly at first, rubbing his hardened bulge against your ass, and seeing as you didn’t shift, he decided to proceed. In his fatigued haze, Taehyung began swirling the tip of his cockhead into your hole, careful as he was trying not to wake you.
“Mm…you have such a fuckable ass, babe,” His guttural moans were low as he quite did enjoy fucking you like so. “Oh, I’m cumming…” After a few thrusts he sped up, becoming bold with his movements. He was chasing his high, desperate to cum. “Fuck..” He pulled out and came over your ass, all while you turned over and slurred your words.
“T-Taehyung?” You called out his name.
“Yeah baby?”
“Did you cum?”
“Yeah. I came a lot on your tight little ass.” He said, spanking your rear lightly.
“Tae, I’m horny.” You said, demanding it from him.
“Let’s fix that now, shall we?” He slowly slid his warm cock into your pulsating hole, and you gasped, as every time he just let the tip in, it took some time for your body to adjust. You were by no means loose, even after all the sexual activities you engaged in with your boyfriend. He still often used lube but tonight, he was using his wet tip, and his spittle. You took a deep breath, all while Taehyung grinned, before spitting on your rear. “Thought I fucked you open the first time.” His deep voice had a hypnotic effect on you. You let out a soft whimper, unsure as he rubbed his saliva down your perky soft buttocks. You felt goosebumps raising on your skin from the sudden cool air, colder now as he rubbed his spit over you.
“M-must be because I woke up…I was more relaxed asleep.” You sighed, apologetic as you stuck your ass up.
“Hm. Is this uncomfortable for you, baby boy? Or are you okay?” You blushed a little at his nickname for you. He was a sweet man, and often checked in on you even when your mind went blank during the amazing sex.
“I’m fine. Maybe it’s just the position…” As you voiced your opinion, he soaked it in, paused for a moment before turning you over so you were on your back, facing him instead. Missionary with Taehyung turned you on every time. It was the way he hugged you, and whispered dirty things in your ears with that deep, buttery voice of his. Not to mention the look on his face when he came…it was some of the most satisfying moments you had ever experienced. Tae also never took anything lightly, he always had to go above and beyond. Fucking you into the wee hours of day was also nothing for him.
“Ah….I’m coming…” Tae grunted, before pulling out and cumming all over your stomach. You were covered in his juices.
“Love you.” You whispered, panting as Tae also gathered his breath.
“Love you too, baby.”

It has always bothered me that a lot of asexual people will refer to gay people who are not ace in any way as ‘dirty allosexuals’. As if gay people haven’t been historically seen as dirty, unclean sexual deviants. How can you ever begin to approach a desire for inclusion in a community you are actively bigoted towards? Hm!
i mean those people 100% exist but it's not like homophobia is a uniquely asexual phenomenon or uniquely prevalent among asexuals. sure it's important to call out this rhetoric when it happens but it shouldn't be overstated -- all of the asexual people i know personally are very cool and pro faggots and faggotry 100 years
