All That Legend and Still Can’t Shake Me

꒰ 🍒 ꒱ DIANA TAURASI X READER ꒰ 🍒 ꒱ MASTERLIST

1/? - Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5, Part 6, Part 7,

Hush. Pt.8 (smut)

⭑ pairing: diana taurasi x reader (rookie!fem!reader)

⭑ summary: you made history as the youngest Mercury starter, first rookie to drop a 40-piece since 2006, and the fastest-growing fan favorite in the league. but none of that compares to how you treat Diana Taurasi like she’s just another baddie on your radar—and you never miss a shot.

⭑ genre: flirty tension, veteran x rookie dynamic, lowkey enemies to lovers, locker room heat, teammates just watching

⭑ warnings: language, cocky reader, suggestive moments, eye contact that lingers too long, Diana being over it (but not really), everyone watching this slow-burn play out like it’s prime-time

⭑ word count: ~ 0.8k

————————————

“You could be better,” Diana mutters, passing you in the tunnel after warmups.

You don’t miss a beat. “You could be mine.”

She stops. Just long enough for her head to tilt. That patented Taurasi side-eye—the one that’s made rookies crumble and refs rethink their careers. You don’t flinch. You’ve never flinched. Not around her.

“You’re bold,” she says, walking again.

You grin. “You’re fine.”

This is how it’s been all season.

You: rookie of the year, viral clips, fastest-growing WNBA account on social media, already being called “the future of Phoenix.”

Diana: unbothered, untouchable, still pulling up from the logo like she invented it.

You hit the court every night with one goal: win games and make Diana smile. Not necessarily in that order.

————————————

Your season started with a bang—literally. First WNBA game, you dropped 32 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 steals. Broke a record. Broke a few hearts. Twitter exploded. “THIS ROOKIE GOT THAT DOG IN HER” was trending for hours.

You did post-game interviews like you’d been doing them for years. Calm. Cocky. Flashed a grin and said, “We’ve got vets on this team. I just follow greatness.”

The camera panned to Diana. She rolled her eyes.

The fans? Obsessed.

Edits hit TikTok by morning. Slow-mo videos of you passing her the ball with captions like “just a rookie in love with a legend” and “taurasi’s #1 problem.”

You didn’t deny it. Why would you?

She was Diana fucking Taurasi.

And you? You were coming for her.

————————————

“You’re staring again,” Diana says one afternoon at practice, eyes never leaving the free throw line.

“Only ‘cause you’re cute when you act annoyed,” you shoot back, spinning a ball on your fingers.

“She’s not even good at being subtle,” Sophie whispers from the bench. “I live for it.”

“It’s getting worse,” Brittney mutters, sipping her water. “She’s not scared of Diana at all.”

“She’s gonna get her ass handed to her.”

“Or a date.”

You grin, sinking a three just as Diana turns toward you. “Bet I can drop 20 before you hit your third.”

“Bet you can sit down and shut up,” she fires back.

You wink. “Only if you ask nicely.”

————————————

Game night. You come off the bench hot. First quarter, you block a pass. Second quarter, you get a steal and assist. Diana passes to you on a fast break, and you take it coast to coast. Pure net.

The crowd goes wild. She jogs back beside you, deadpan. “Don’t get cocky.”

“Don’t act like you’re not impressed.”

She glances sideways. “I’m not.”

But she is.

Her lips twitch when you wink at a courtside camera. When the crowd starts chanting your name, you lean toward her and murmur, “You jealous of my fan club?”

“I was here first,” she says.

“Then act like it,” you purr.

————————————

The locker room after a win is electric. Someone’s blasting music. Sophie’s dancing on a chair. You’re still in your jersey, sitting on a bench, scrolling through your DMs. Half of them are fan edits. The other half are thirst tweets about you and Diana.

You hold one up to her without looking. “This one says ‘I bet the rookie calls her ma’am and she likes it.’ Thoughts?”

Diana doesn’t break stride. “You’re delusional.”

“Admit it,” you say, leaning back, “I make the team more fun.”

She stops in front of your locker. Arms crossed. Smirk barely hidden.

“You’re chaos,” she says. “And a headache.”

“But a pretty one.”

She doesn’t respond. Just walks away.

You follow her with your eyes.

Coach walks by and mutters, “You’re gonna give her an aneurysm.”

You smile. “Only if she resists.”

————————————

It keeps going like that. Game after game. Practice after practice. You flirt. She rolls her eyes. You drop 30. She shrugs. You steal her snacks. She cusses you out. You flirt harder.

And slowly, something shifts.

She starts passing to you more. Waiting for your cut. Laughing—laughing—when you stumble over a cocky one-liner mid-game. The team notices. The media notices.

“She’s warming up to you,” Sophie says one day.

You smirk. “Told y’all. Can’t fight charm forever.”

————————————

End of the season. You’re in the tunnel, gear bag slung over your shoulder. Rookie of the Year interview scheduled in ten minutes. Diana’s waiting near the door, already in sunglasses.

You stop next to her. Breathe in. Calm. Composed. Until you look at her.

“You still ignoring me?”

She exhales. “You’re exhausting.”

“But you like it.”

Silence.

Then: “You made history this year.”

You blink. “Was that… praise?”

“I said you made it,” she replies. “Didn’t say you deserved it.”

You step closer. “Say you’re proud of me, 3.”

She glances over her shades. “I’ll say it when you stop acting like I’m your girlfriend.”

You lean in, lips inches from her ear.

“I’d treat you right if you were.”

She snorts. “You’d ruin me.”

“I’d start slow.”

She walks away. You grin.

The media never stood a chance.

And neither did she

————————————

MASTERLIST

⭑Not me turning this into a sports romcom with court-side tension and locker room foreplay. this is for the girls who think Diana’s stare could kill but also wanna make her laugh.

Announcing a fandom community server!

Hi, guys! This is sorta directed at my followers but also Obey Me fans (and other fandom people).

I mentioned, like, a looong time ago I wanted to do a community server, but I didn't really understand how to use Discord, but since then I've been in a zine, a few collabs, and hosted my own collabs (currently running one for Lucifer 👀). So, I have the experience and knowledge of running a server now!

My urge to create a fandom-centric server has really bloomed and after sitting on the it for a year, I feel confident enough yet still anxious to release a link of an invitation to it (found at the bottom)! It's still fresh, and bots haven't been implemented yet, but I really want to push this out.

I myself am in a lot of different fandoms, obviously Obey Me, but also Baldur's Gate, Stardew Valley, Kingdom Hearts, Persona games, What in Hell is Bad, a few obscure fandoms (like Alien Stage and Touchstarved) and older ones (Homestuck), so I have all the intentions to have this server be inclusive to webcomics, anime and manga and adjacent media, games from standard video games to phone games, graphic novels, books, otome and romance stuff, indie media like web series, cartoons, and games, and more as it grows.

I also want this server to be a hub for writers and artists to share their stuff they're too awkward or anxious to post and receive feedback, and as a place to get to know fellow-minded people in shared fandoms. AUs, theories, headcanons, crossovers, self-inserts, your MCs/OCs - all allowed!

A few things to note:

This is a fandom community server, but it might start out as Obey Me heavy because I'm trying to direct attention to that fandom since that's the one I am mostly in and participated in most things as a fan.

Adults and minors (16+) are allowed, but there are rules implemented that divide channels into SFW and NSFW categories and channels.

Writers, artists, content creators, cosplayers, fans that dabble, etc. are enthusiastically welcomed

The server can also function with channels regarding roleplays and self-publishing (commissions, Etsy shops, etc.)

I really want this server to kinda be a central spot for small fandoms or dying fandoms (like Obey Me) or old fandoms or growing fandoms and ones in-between basically non-existent and probably way too big. I want the server to be a community of different fandoms and the people that incorporate them, and I want it to be a fun place to just either relax with other fans and share works you like or works you've made or as a place to just dip in a silently lurk to look at what people are talking about or look at what is shared or as a place to lose your fucking minds when updates happen or something wild or devastating in the media occurs.

I want this to be a respectful but enjoyable place to come to and join and feel like you can invite friends or maybe even make friends!

Hard rules:

Before entering though, the server has a soft screening process for people to join.

Verifications will be done by me to make sure no one with ill intentions has a chance to cause harassment or harm to members. Fandoms can be toxic and mean in public places like here and Twitter, but this server will be, to the best of my ability, a space away from that.

Absolutely no pedophilic content is allowed. Like, none. It'll be one of the fastest things to get you kicked and banned and blacklisted.

There are rules and specific channels for certain ships and certain explicit content that can be talked about in the server if there are any questions.

This server is for fandom communities and politics and religious hot takes are not applicable here. This is a designated relief zone and none of that is really welcome.

I think that mostly covers the sales pitch and important stuff, lol.

So with all that out of the way--

Blockchain Content Marketing: Using Guest Posts for Authority Building

Most blockchain projects struggle with one thing: trust.

New coins, DeFi tools, and crypto startups pop up daily. But users are skeptical. They’ve seen too many scams and short-lived projects. That’s where content marketing comes in. And guest posting? It’s one of the fastest ways to build real authority.

I’ve used guest posts to get backlinks, grow traffic, and earn trust from the crypto crowd. When done right, they do more than rank your site. They put your name in front of the right people, on sites they already trust.

In this article, I’ll show you how to use guest posting to boost your blockchain brand. You’ll learn how to find good sites, pitch the right way, and write content that builds authority. No fluff. Just real strategies I’ve used to get results.

Let’s break down how blockchain content marketing works—and how to make guest posts your edge.

What Is Blockchain Content Marketing?

Blockchain content marketing is simple. It’s just using useful content to explain your product and earn trust.

But here’s the twist, blockchain is complex. Most people don’t fully get how tokens, wallets, or smart contracts work. So, my job (and yours) is to break it all down in plain English.

When I market a blockchain project, I focus on three things:

Education – Explain how it works without jargon.

Trust – Prove it’s not a scam.

SEO – Get found when people search.

Content isn’t just blog posts. It’s also guest articles, press releases, how-to guides, and even Twitter threads. The goal? Build visibility and trust without paying for ads.

Also, blockchain content should solve problems. Not hype tokens. If someone reads your post and feels smarter after, you’ve already won.

In short, blockchain content marketing builds real authority, if you keep it clear, honest, and helpful.

Why Guest Posting Works for Blockchain Projects

Guest posting isn’t new. But in crypto, it hits harder.

Most people don’t trust a new blockchain site. They do trust sites like CoinDesk, CryptoSlate, or niche DeFi blogs. So when I write for those platforms, some of that trust rubs off on me.

Also, backlinks matter a lot. A guest post with a dofollow link from a respected crypto site can move your rankings fast. That’s pure SEO gold.

But it’s not just about search traffic. A guest post puts your name in front of the right readers. Crypto investors. Web3 developers. DAO members. Real people who might use your product.

When I want to build authority for a blockchain project, guest posting is always on my checklist. It’s one of the fastest ways to prove you’re legit, without spending a ton on ads or influencers.

It works because you're not just talking. You're showing up where it counts.

How to Find Crypto Guest Post Opportunities

Finding guest post spots in crypto takes work, but it’s not rocket science.

First, I use Google search operators. Try searches like:

crypto “write for us”

blockchain “guest post”

DeFi “submit a guest post”

These pull-up pages that accept guest articles. Simple and effective.

Next, I check tools like Ahrefs or BuzzSumo. I plug in competitor URLs to see where they’ve been mentioned or linked. If they’ve posted there, I probably can too.

I also hang out on Reddit, Telegram, and other crypto groups. That’s where I find smaller niche blogs. They may not be big, but the backlinks are real, and the audience is targeted.

Also, don’t skip LinkedIn. I’ve found editors and blog managers there just by searching “content manager” + “crypto.”

Bottom line? Don’t wait for invites. Go where the attention is, and ask for a shot. Most blogs are always looking for solid content.

What Makes a Solid Blockchain Guest Post?

Writing a guest post isn’t the same as writing for your own blog. You’re stepping into someone else’s space. That means your post has to hit their audience, not just your goals.

Here’s what I focus on when I write for crypto sites:

Keep it simple – No one wants a wall of code or deep math. Break complex ideas into plain talk.

Stick to one idea – Don’t try to explain your token, your roadmap, and your DAO in one post. Pick one topic and go deep.

Add value – Teach something. Solve a problem. Share a unique insight. No fluff.

Natural links only ��� I link back to my site in a way that fits the topic. No keyword stuffing or fake calls to action.

Also, I follow the blog’s rules. If they say 800 words max, I keep it at 800. Respect earns repeat invites.

Authority-Building Tips for Blockchain Guest Posts

Not all guest posts boost authority. Some just sit there. I’ve learned that what you write and where you write it make all the difference.

Here’s what I do to build real trust:

Aim high first – I go for well-known crypto blogs before smaller ones. One backlink from a top site beats ten from low-tier ones.

Use the author bio well – I don’t just say “Blockchain enthusiast.” I write something like: “I help DeFi startups grow through SEO and content.” Clear and credible.

Stay on-brand – My tone, message, and links match my site. That builds consistency. Readers should know what I stand for after reading just one post.

Post regularly – One guest post won’t cut it. I aim for at least one solid post a month on a respected blog.

Also, I never chase links alone. Authority comes from real value, so I focus on that first.

Guest Post Outreach for Blockchain Brands

Getting your post published starts with good outreach. And in crypto, editors get tons of bad pitches. So I keep mine short, clear, and personal.

Here’s how I do it:

Use their name – I never say “Hi there.” I find the editor’s name. LinkedIn, About pages, or even Twitter usually help.

Keep the pitch short – I write 4–5 lines max. I mention a post I liked on their site, what I want to write, and why it fits their readers.

Suggest real topics – I pitch 2–3 headline ideas. Each one should be specific and show I understand their audience.

Also, I never send spammy templates. I’ve seen those fail again and again. Instead, I treat every pitch like a real conversation.

If you’ve got the budget, there’s an easier way. You can use a cryptocurrency and blockchain guest post service. They already have connections and can get your content published faster. Just make sure they focus on quality blogs, not spam networks.

SEO Boost: Link Building with Guest Posts

Let’s get real—guest posts are powerful for one reason: backlinks. And in blockchain SEO, the right links can push your rankings fast.

Here’s how I use guest posts to build strong links:

Go for dofollow – These are the links that pass SEO value. If a site only gives nofollow, I usually skip it, unless the traffic or brand value is strong.

Use smart anchor text – I avoid keyword stuffing. Instead, I mix branded, partial match, and natural anchors like “this guide” or “our DeFi project.”

Link to deep pages – Most people link to their homepage. I link to product pages, blog guides, or landing pages that need ranking help.

Also, I don’t just look for traffic. I check the domain’s authority, link profile, and relevance. One strong backlink from a trusted crypto site beats five weak ones from general blogs.

Smart link building starts with smart guest posting.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Guest posting can work fast—but only if you skip the usual mistakes. I’ve made a few of these early on. Here’s what to watch out for:

Posting on low-quality blogs – If the site looks shady or is packed with spammy content, I stay away. One bad backlink can do more harm than good.

Overusing keywords – I’ve seen people stuff “blockchain platform” into every other sentence. It reads badly and kills your chances of ranking.

Pushing your product too hard – A guest post isn’t a sales pitch. If it sounds like an ad, it won’t get published—or read.

Skipping real value – If the post doesn’t teach or solve something, it won’t build trust. I always ask, “Does this help someone?”

Also, don’t rush it. I take time to research, write, and pitch the right way. Quality beats quantity every time.

Final Thoughts

Guest posting isn’t a one-time trick. It’s a long-term play—and it works best when you stay consistent.

I set a simple goal: one solid guest post every month. Over time, that adds up to strong backlinks, better rankings, and real trust in the crypto space.

Also, I don’t stop at publishing. I track results, traffic, keyword gains, and conversions. If one post sends solid leads or boosts SEO, I double down on that site.

I also repurpose the content. A good guest post can fuel LinkedIn posts, tweets, email newsletters, and even short YouTube scripts.

hello everyone...!! i'm fifi ( she/her, 21+ ) and i bring to you jungha and hyoseop (zb1riize u are so special to me)! i would love love love to plot with everyone so please feel free to like this post and i'll jump straight into your ims! i always have a twitter and discord available upon request if you'd prefer to plot there!!

i'll start off by introducing my beloved muse, jungha! ex-almost-idol (newave 💔), current part-time tutor & delivery boy who's fluent in korean and ksl!

i have both his profile and bio available but you can find a tl;dr below the cut as well as some fun?? plot ideas!!

profile // bio

fluent in korean & korean sign language! both his father and older brother are deaf, so jungha communicates with them in ksl

really enjoyed music as a kid growing up and dreamt of becoming an idol. his parents, especially his dad was against the idea. they get into a large argument and jungha refuses to acknowledge his dad for weeks.

at 16, his mother passes away. he's devastated.

at 18, he auditions for a company and passes. his father is furious at him, and they fight yet again. they refuse to speak to each other, but only do so when his younger brother gets into big trouble at school. they communicate with one another and jungha's father finally laments, but he tells jungha that he will never truly support him.

he's a decent trainee! gets along well with the other trainees and staff and is known to be friendly and kind. they tell him that he's made the cut to join newave and that they'll be recording their pre-release song 'memories'. jungha is ecstatic. he feels like his dream is finally coming true.

he records memories, and thinks of how amazing it'll be once he finally debuts.

the dream is short-lived. he's pulled out of training one day, and it feels eerily similar to what had happened to him in school, the day his mother passed. the staff inform him that his father is in the hospital.

his dad is in need of a liver transplant, and urgently. he’d gone so long undiagnosed that even the doctors are surprised. jungha is there to sign the whole conversation, terrified by the information that he’s learning. his father had ignored his own ailment, had instead been working longer hours in an attempt to earn more money. jungha feels sick to his stomach.

the doctor explains to jungha that the fastest way to have his father go through the liver transplant is if either jungha or his younger brother decide to be the donor. jungha wastes no time to volunteering himself.

the doctor explains to him that he’ll have to run a few tests, but if the results come back as a match, it’s possible. but he also tells jungha that continuing the life of an idol trainee may be hard for the next few months. 

jungha will have to drop out of his company, he’ll have to throw away his one chance at debuting. surprisingly, his father is against the idea. refuses to allow jungha to do this. “you can’t throw away your dream because of me,” he signs. but jungha is stubborn.

it’s fine, he thinks. he’s fine with giving up his dream.

jungha drops out of the company, leaving behind his dream of becoming an idol. maybe it was never meant to be. 

the operation, thankfully, goes smoothly. his father never speaks of his idol dream again, but jungha knows that he carries a guilt that he can’t quite explain. he tells his father that it’s alright, jungha is happier this way too – with his father alive and well.

jungha is now a university student, as well as a part-time math tutor and delivery boy. his father continues making his monthly check-ups to the doctor, and jungha continues to strive for a better life.

plot ideas!!!

friends! jungha is really friendly. pretty selfless too, so he'd love to have friends! from uni, or highschool! depending on when they met, they would've known about jungha's stint at the idol life

people that dislike jungha. jungha isn't the type to easily dislike someone but maybe your muse doesn't sit right with him for some reason.

exes! fluff.... angst... anything really please give me exes...

one-sided crushes? jungha has a crush on your muse or your muse has a crush on jungha... maybe he's oblivious, maybe he's not!

newave members that trained with jungha!!

people that recognized jungha ( woah!! ) from the memories pre-release from the time when he was slated to debut with newave

delivery plots! jungha's a delivery boy so he could've delivered something to your muse and friendship ( or more?? ) grows from there!!

(I posted this on twitter back in early March but since that platform is going down the tubes rn I'm reposting here as well for archival purposes)

Some background here. 6 years ago I took up reading fanfic as a hobby. Very quickly I realized I'd need a way to mark which fics I'd already read or tried to read and dropped, so I wouldn't keep running across the same ones over and over and forgetting I'd already read them. So I started bookmarking EVERYTHING regardless of my actual opinion on it (I'll come back to this)

Anyway eventually I realized that, via the filtering options AO3 provides for your bookmarks, I had a pretty good way to collect pointless data about my reading habits and make some really pointless graphs. So when I reached exactly 2000 bookmarks I decided to do that. as a reward to myself.

data for the original 2000 was collected from whenever I started doing this, through March 6th 2023

Caveat: obviously the possibility of human error in this data is significant. I was never consistent on whether I should bookmark all individual fics in a series or just the series itself if I read the whole thing, for instance, and I've surely forgotten to bookmark plenty of things I did read over the years. this is just for fun though so I'm not sweating it.

thank god for how detailed ao3's tag system is tbh

Anyway here's a pie of all fandoms (with over 50 bookmarks):

For some temporal context of the above, I fucking counted every bookmark from the top 9 categories there and arrayed them by month-bookmarked so I could make this chart of growth rates:

Genshin impact will of course continue to grow because the game continually releases new stuff and characters. Numbers spiked in October coinciding with sumeru's release. we'll see if another spike happens once fontaine releases in a few weeks from now. interestingly to me, I started been playing genshin like 6 months before I started participating in the fandom because it took me that long to get accustomed to the uh.. genshin-ness of the characters and the story, enough to start making inroads towards actually caring about the characters.

looks like FE3H grew the fastest, but it will eventually plateau like yoi, dragon age, and ffxv before it. Still kinda going strong though,since there's just lots of people writing for this fandom, and helped by the fact that it has a really large cast.

This next chart will take a little background info. So to indicate to myself something about the quality of the fic, when bookmarking I would choose to "Rec" it or not. As I said previously, I am literally bookmarking everything I read whether I loved it or hated it or it caused me pain or whatever. My criteria for whether I Rec a fic or not has never been set in stone, but THE IDEA is that recced fics were ones I overall quite liked, felt were well written and would be willing to go back & reread or had something else that made them stand out from the crowd. A recced fic isn't necessarily one I would literally recommend to people to read, and non-recced could mean anything from it was good but had one part that bothered me, to I had just read a bunch of that author's other works and this one was weaker than their others, to it was horrendous and ruined my whole day, to it was just kinda boring.

HOWEVER I did add my own more curated tag, Greatest Hits, for the ones that I really loved, that stuck with me after reading it, that I regularly desire to go back and revisit. While I rarely ever adjust my recs, I have often added (even sometimes removed) the Greatest Hits tag from fics years after first reading them.

Anyway that means this chart could be said to express in a really general way my opinion on the general quality of the writing in a given fandom:

I found it interesting that AA has such a high proportion of recs. I think its overall lower number of total bookmarks works in its favor here, as I tend to dip toes into a new fandom by first looking at top-kudosed fics and then when I find authors I like, trawling their bookmarks for more and branching out that way. So I tend to find pretty good fics earlier in the process. the longer I'm looking through a more stagnated fandom, the less good fics I find, is I guess the logic here. So in the case of AA, I suppose I didn't get much deeper than skimming the cream of the crop before I moved on?

Comparing genshin and fe3h vs. dragon age and ffxv, which all have more similar total bookmarks, was interesting too, to explain why genshin/fe3h's ratio of recs is higher. Both genshin and fe3h have really large casts, and therefore lots of different characters and pairings to read about, so it's almost like each pairing is kind of its own pool of fics that I'm skimming the best ones out of. with DA and FFXV there's really only a couple ships I'm interested in, and their ratios are similar accordingly

because we all know. that the main draw for fanfic tends to be shipping. so here's the top 10 most bookmarked ships pie:

and because genshin and fe3h are sizable enough to warrant a further breakdown of ships for that fandom alone, here's some pies for that:

it makes me laugh that dimiclaude is statistically significant when really I was just trying it out and ultimately decided I really don't even care for that ship

And a growth rate chart for genshin impact ships specifically:

so funny story, as I was playing through the liyue story chapter I was NOT a fan of childe at all, in fact I passed up two of his reruns before reading on the wiki (almost immediately after his 2nd rerun ended) a key piece of his backstory that all of a sudden caused his whole characterization to fall perfectly into place in my mind and he shot up the list to being my top fav character in the game literally over the course of like ten minutes. and yeah that was november 2021 and as you can see that's when I started really reading genshin fics LOL

forecasts have haikaveh and cynonari continuing to trend up for a little while, though the next region and thus a whole new cast releases soon and could stymie those trends. zhongchi is a staple genshin ship and imo a bit more flexible content- and dynamic-wise than many of the other pairings here, so I predict it maintains a regular gentle incline even in the face of shinier newer pairings.

The less stacked roster fandoms don't have as interesting breakdowns, but here they are just for curiosity:

and yeah that's all I made at the time! I only thought of it after but I'll be recording data on Ratings from now on as well. I'd also considered looking at things like average word count on recs or greatest hits fics, but absent of even more highly specific filtering tools that would probably fall under diminishing returns. maybe someday.

This was dumb but very engrossing and fun to make and I learned how to use google sheets out of it so we'll see if that ever comes in useful in my life

Hex Positive, Ep. 021 - Witchcraft and Modern Law

Now available wherever you get your podcasts!

As promised, the followup episode is here! This time, I'm digging into witchcraft as it relates to modern law, plus covering a few key 20th-century events that I missed in Episode 20 and some legal codes that may apply to your practice even if they don't deal with witchcraft directly. We'll also be discussing some instances of modern witch hunts that are still occurring in some parts of the world and there are articles you can check out for more information below. (Massive trigger warning for violence and abuse in the ones discussing modern witch hunts.)

(Incidentally, the information I discovered while researching modern witch persecutions is EXACTLY why I get so cheesed off when some privileged politician whines about being the target of "a witch hunt." Like buddy, you don't even know the meaning of the word. Having to face the consequences of your own actions isn't a witch hunt. That's just cosmic justice serving up a long-overdue headslap.)

Splatoon 3 first impressions

MUSCLE MEMORY CAME BACK A LOT FASTER THAN I EXPECTED. I haven’t played any Splatoon since I got into Cookie Run Kingdom, last year...and despite that, I was sniping multiple people only a couple games in....

HOWEVER! Muscle memory means nothing when sniping relies on, y’know....knowing where the heck you are.....So, I had to get acquainted with the stages before I could....do super well.....XD

So far, I’ve played Undertow Spillway, Mincemeat Metalworks, and Eeltail Alley, along with a (mostly unchanged) Museum D’Alfonsino. Of the three new stages, I took a liking to Undertow Spillway the fastest - it has a pretty good perch that I’ve attached myself to, which is part glass but it’s not a HUGE inconvenience....It’s not perfect, but I get a pretty good view of the action and can defend my team’s base from it. For a while, I had NO IDEA what to do at Mincemeat Metalworks, but I suspect it may grow on me later. It was just kinda hard to get my bearing straight there. And Eeltail Alley is pretty cool. It has multiple good perches around base, and a bridge in the middle that I’m able to snipe from....while not being rushed....I-I was able to hold it pretty well one game.

Ink Vac is growing on me. It took me many games to get used to how it works....and heck, I’m still far from an expert on it....It’s not my ideal choice of special (would prefer Booyah Bomb or Tri Strike on a charger), but I think I like it now. I like how it can just make attacks from the front irrelevant for many seconds while you suck up any ink thrown your direction...and the more ink you suck up, the bigger the attack at the end is. There’s a lot of depth to it. I like how it can be used to defend teammates. I didn’t really know how to aim the shot at first, but now, I have been able to pull some stuff off with it! And finally, as expected from them, Deep Cut’s songs are all flipping awesome. REALLY good hype music. Wish I knew their names, cuz there’s one in particular that sticks out to me as a fav, and I can’t really describe it....XD

I know I said I’d try other weapons, but....well, y’know me.....I-it’s hard to pull me away from my charger....but, I WAS planning on switching, JUST as I got the low battery warning for my Switch....s-so, I’ll try to fit some other weapons in later! Particularly during the Tricolor Turf Wars...dunno how helpful sniping will be when I might only have ONE teammate....might wanna choose an inker in that case.....b-but who knows? XD This game is SOOOOOOOOOOOO fun already! SO many little improvements over Spla2n, which was already very streamlined as it was! I LOVE being able to do stuff while waiting in a lobby, I love the Splashtags, I love knowing exactly what I contributed to the team each match, I just love it! Pretty much my only complaint so far is that I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how the squid roll works. I was in the lobby for minutes on end swimming through my ink trying to squid roll. I CAN’T DO IT. And I’m pretty sure it’s just flicking the stick! Unless I was told wrong, pfffff....

See ya later, once the chaos unfolds..... (Just a reminder: I-if you’re curious, I post replays on my Twitter, @NastyMajestyyy! Check that out to see how I’ve been playing! >.<)

Reminder that there is a separation between content creators' public personas and their real selves (from u/berkeleynoob)

((This is not my post, it is originally from reddit u/berkeleynoob but I got permission to repost as I know a lot of younger Dream SMP fans are on Tumblr and Twitter)) --- This was originally a comment I made on another post, but two people pm-ed me and told me it would be a good standalone post so I decided to expand on it a little. Given the amount of new (young) fans there are, I thought it might be a timely reminder.

The different levels of personas:

I'm using Tommy as an example here because that was what the original post I responded to was about. There are at least three levels to Tommy (and probably most content creators in the DSMP as well). There's c!Tommy, the character he plays on the Dream SMP. Then there's the public TommyInnit profile that he portrays on Youtube and social media (e.g. Twitter). Then there's the real Tommy, who we as the audience obviously aren't privy to see.

I think most fans are fairly clear that c!Tommy is very different from the real Tommy, and criticism/negative comments about the character are very separate from their opinions about the real Tommy. But I've heard less about differentiating Tommy from the TommyInnit persona that he portrays.

Criticism towards the persona vs towards the person:

There's a reason why Tommy starts every Youtube video with a disclaimer about people finding him annoying. The TommyInnit persona is a fairly polarising one, and I too found it somewhat grating when I first watched him. Even now I take my TommyInnit content with breaks because it can be a bit much after a while. But clearly Tommy knows his audience very well and he knows that the TommyInnit persona appeals to a great deal of people, as evidenced by how he's one of the fastest growing Youtube/Twitch creators and his fanbase is huge.

I think it's valid to have criticism for or to dislike the TommyInnit persona. It's not for everyone, and some people probably do find it annoying. But I don't think any of the audience has any basis upon which to judge the real Tommy since we know so little about him. The closest we got was probably the Eboys podcast, in which Tommy impressed me with his maturity and humility for a 16-year-old kid who skyrocketed in fame less than a year. Even when Techno was complaining to Phil (on stream) about how exhausting it was to stream with c!Tommy, he added something like, "and I mean the character Tommy, because believe it or not, Tommy is a entirely different person off-stream". I've heard nothing about great things about how Tommy is off-stream and there's no doubt he's an incredibly hardworking person.

So even though I don't love c!Tommy and the TommyInnit persona can get a bit much for me sometimes, I have nothing but respect for Tommy the person and how much he's achieved.

This goes for just about every content creator out there. Despite how much of their content you may watch and how well you think you know them, that is still their public persona, not who they really are in normal life. It's valid to pass judgement and have criticism for the personas they portray and how they portray it, but it's unfair to use the personas themselves (e.g. "oh Wilbur was mean to Tommy in non-roleplay video", or "Bad swore in this video so he's a hypocrite") to pass judgement on them as people. As fans and audience members, I think we have to accept that we may never really know much about who they are as real people, and that's fine.

The other side: Why being overly attached to the persona is bad

I'm probably older than a lot of the fans here, and I've been in and out of fandom for over 10 years now. I've lived through the terrible days when fandom was all about LiveJournal, ONTD and Tumblr ("I like your shoelaces"). So I know how easy it can be to get sucked into obsessive fandom and become overly attached to actors/singers/content creators. Here's a cautionary tale to show why you shouldn't make the mistake of thinking you know the content creator just because you're a superfan.

I used to be very involved in the Achievement Hunter (a group of Let's Players) community, I watched them since I was in high school and I enjoyed their content a lot. Roleplay wasn't really a thing and they did a lot of behind-the-scenes type of content (e.g. podcasts, recording random shenanigans in the office) that made it feel like I really knew and liked them as people.

One of my favorites was Ryan Haywood. He was a witty, sarcastic guy who was known as the 'madman' and 'evil mastermind' in the video games they played. He was happily married and had two children at home, and for many years I admired his perfect life and how he had gotten to that position: playing video games for a living and enjoying life with his family.

In 2020, it was revealed that Ryan had been having affairs with several female fans. He had messaged many young fans manipulative and explicit messages and even met up and had sexual relations with some of them. Some of the fans who came out and told their stories testified that they were underage when the affair happened, and they felt pressured into having relations with Ryan. There are a lot of other complicated details that I won't go into here. But this news shocked me and many fans to our core. I didn't want to believe it at first. This was so utterly different to the Ryan Haywood I thought I knew and loved.

TL;DR

That was an extreme example but it's a reminder that we are fans and audience members. We don't know the content creators, regardless of how personable they may be or how much of their life they choose to share with us. Especially for younger fans who may be delving headfirst into a fandom for the first time, it's a wild and fun ride and it's easy to get overly attached or obsessed.

Please use this as a reminder to take a step back and remember that there is a very real wall of separation between TommyInnit and Tommy, between Wilbur Soot and Will, between Tubbo and Toby, between any content creator's public persona and their real self. And similarly, there should be separation between what you feel about a content creator's public persona and the content creator themselves. We know their personas, not them. And that's fine.

Random Haikyuu Head Canons I Have

these are all taken from my discord server cause i remember to write them there, if you want to request fanfics, my requests are W I D E open! there is also nO order! these are just all the headcanons i could find tbh

warnings: mentions of blood, and just overall wild times, swearing

Asahi loves knitting sweaters because his shoulders are broad and he also loves seeing the reactions from his teammates when they get a sweater from him! He says he buys them but he doesn’t

Aone likes knitting socks because he has big feet and he loves fluffy knee high socks but his team will never know

Asahi and Aone regularly hang out and knit together! (after asahi wasnt scared of him anyways)

Nishinoya gives you shiny rocks he finds because “your eyes shine like them!”

Yamaguchi likes to have your head rest on his chest while cuddling!

Aone likes to bake

Aone dressed like a polar bear because koganegawa told him to- halloween was amazing

daICHI HAS A KISS THE COOK APRON

Daichi secretly can make some kick ass steak and is amazing at grilling sorry

Okay but real talk, Kenma and Yaku swear like sailors and it scares everyone because they always whisper the most foul, insulting things under their breath. Hearing it is like seeing a cryptid

Speaking of cryptids, Fukunaga and Shibayama are THE most true crime, mythology, and mystery obsessed fanatics on the team and often fanboy about it together 

Fukunaga’s obsession with moth man has gotten to an unhealthy stage

Kenma absolutely had a vampire phase and has read twilight. Only Kuroo knows and has sworn to secrecy via blood pact

Kuroo’s a musical nerd. Knows all of the lyrics to Hamilton, BMC, DEH, Heathers, Rent, Beetlejuice, Etc. Kenma considered dropping him because of it

Iwaizumi tells the worst dad jokes and Kyotani, wanting to beat him, started doing it too and it drives everyone insane

Yahaba and Matsukawa get along surprisingly well. Both are true crime freaks and bond over their forensic files obsessions

Matsukawa didn’t really like his thick eyebrows so he got one of his female friends to pluck it for him, but almost cried and gave up after the first hair. Oikawa called him a pussy for the next year

Hanamaki jokingly flirts with everyone on the team so most of them just got used to it, but it still confuses Kindaichi to the point of mental breakdown

Makki called Kyotani ‘puppy’ as a joke once and now mad dog is truly terrified of him

Kyotani’s dog absolutely ADORES Oikawa and it’s the funniest shit to the rest of the team

Mattsun and Makki play DnD and once convinced Yahaba and Kyotani to join. Kyotani kept rolling to fight everyone and Yahaba was a bard that kept rolling to seduce everyone. They kept yelling across the board so they had to kick them out

Outside of his school uniform, Goshiki specifically wears only plaid

Tendou makes little chocolates for the whole team every once in a while so they don’t think he’s scary

Semi and Shirabu once had a fistfight in an abandoned McDonald’s parking lot while Tendou filmed and Goshiki cheered them on

Everybody makes fun of Shirabu’s haircut but nobody dares to say it to his face. its gotten to the point where they say he got it done by a blind old lady

There’s a running joke about Shirabu also getting his haircut from prison but Goshiki is starting to suspect that it may not be a joke

Yamagata and Tendou are good friends with the mutual goal of collecting as much blackmail on their team as possible

Tendou loves animals generally considered to be ‘ugly’ like rats, crows, reptiles, etc.

80% of Goshiki’s playlist is shit overplayed on the radio. Him, Shirabu, Tendou, Kawanishi and Ushijima have a permanent ban from the aux cord

Nobody watches YouTube with Ushijima because he never skips the damn ads (other than tendou)

Suna once said y’all’dn’t’ve unironically and made a first year cry

Osamu has one of those rainbow gaming keyboards and is constantly on a discord call. Atsumu always yells weird shit in the background to embarrass him and once pretended to be him

During Seijoh group chat arguments. Hanamaki and Mattsukawa like to drop facebook minion memes in just to piss everyone off even more

mattsun and maki both have separate photo albums in their phones labelled ‘minion memes to piss everyone off’

Hinata carries a pocket knife and no one has no fucking idea why

mattsun and maki both have matching rat fursuits that look like they actually where in a sewer- they chased oikawa around

For all his talk of plant analogies and metaphors, Ushijima cant grow shit

Goshiki’s Bangs are the way they are because his favorite character was Rock Lee from Naruto

Oikawa has watched Ouran High School Host Club front to back so many times and he can quote all of Tamaki’s lines by heart -He keeps bothering Iwaizumi to “be his Haruhi, since you’re shorter than me”

Koganegawa has definitely gone as an Angry Bird for Halloween

Fukunaga has those reflective cat eyes, and he has terrified Yamamoto on several occasion

Hanamaki and Matsukawa have a teddy bear that they pretend is their child and they share custody

Suga always sprays whipped cream straight into his mouth whenever he sees a can

Nishinoya definitely bit people as a kid

Nishinoya would be the guy to wear shorts all year round and even if it's snowing, he'll insist he's not cold

Tendou is still stuck in his emo phase and would fangirl over Creepypasta with me and I appreciate that (me too buddy, me fuckin too)

Kyoutani LOOKS like he’d listen to viking death metal, but in reality he listens to Mother Mother and knows all the words to Ghosting

Sugawara would definitely encourage me to dumb shit and not stop me, and you’re all dumb for thinking he wouldn’t 

KENMA IS NOT ‘uwu owo’ SHY, HE IS ‘your fucking gross’ SHY SO LITERALLY STFU

Bokuto listens to Nicki Manaj. And knows all the words. To every. Single. Song.

Ushijima for some reason knows an odd amount of 90′s-2000′s R&B and he will hum along to the songs if they come on the radio (he also loves Dolly Parton) ((he says he relates to her music))

Bokuto once ate instant ramen for an entire month

TERUSHIMA DID TRY TO FUCK A PLANT WHILE SHITFACED AND GOD I STAND BY WHAT I SAID

atsumu let’s you put makeup on him and pretends to eat the brushes (do yk what im talking about- like n o m)

tendou ran for school president as a joke but actually won

i 100% believe that all of karasuno’s third years apologize when they bump into inanimate objects, but when suga is really tired or stressed out, he’ll yell at them instead.

Tanaka, Nishinoya, and Taketora have a group chat called "Bros who want sum hoes" and they send each other hypebeast memes and shit

Sugawara knows how to do a bunch of flexible shit because he sometimes goes to yoga with daichi and asahi's moms, its fucking hilarious

tanaka and noya both breakdance- they work as a team and sometimes go to tokyo for underground competitions- saeko drives them

Daichi knows a little ballet- nobody other than Kiyoko knows because they saw each other at the ballet class and had to work together- dont tell tanaka and noya that he lifted her though

Osamu once put glitter on Atsumu's pillow- he still finds hot pink glitter on shit

kita knits and crochets with his grandma

Kita's grandma knows everyone's names because kita talks shit bout them, her favorite is Aran

Kuroo has burnt his eyebrows off doing an experiment. His goggles didn't cover all his brows,,, so he just showed up to practice like that. No eyebrows and a chemical burn

kenma has played all kinds of games, but he was dared to play corpse party by kuroo. He wasn't scared because of the gore, he was thinking about the trauma the characters went through. Punched kuroo the next day because that game was fucked up

Lev isn't a strong swimmer, so he often grabs people by the head to keep himself up. happened with kenma and lev couldn't walk due to the force of kenmas suprised water kicks

akaashi has those fancy pens that you have to dip in ink and they're so nice

Bokuto has and will eat pencil erasers again

Daichi once almost lost his shit at his team but instead he lost his shit at the door that decided to stub his toe on the way out of the gym. not the best thing to be found yelling to.

Yamaguchi for sure has been dragged to one of terushimas parties because he didnt wanna say no. oh and terushima has like frat boy level parties too. Yams has for sure had some wild nights and doubts anyone other than Tsukishima and the party-goers will ever know

Akaashi can actually flirt very well! He reads romance novels sometimes and has analyzed any and every book in his possession! so he's actually quite charming

Daihsou unironically posted on twitter after mika broke up with him "I still see her shadows in my room"

Mattsun and Maki run a fake oikawa account; its been going ever since twitter even started getting popular and they even started sending messages in spanish. The posts would range from "I love all my fans!" to flirting with them :) Oikawa is pissed cause the account got verified before he did and most of his fans also follow the fake oikawa. Tooru has no idea who runs it JUST IMAGINE OIKAWA JUST LIKE RANTING TO THE SEIJOH 3RD YEAR ALUMNI AND JUST "no Iwa-chan, you dont understand! they run a fake account and pretend to be me!" while makki and mattsun laugh their asses off

Oh, kenma for sure has pretended to be a girl on discord and has gotten someone to buy him stuff. after they do he says in his normal voice "fucking simp" and then hangs up and blocks the other persons discord

Yamamoto, despite his rough appearance, loves kids and has and will be a human jungle gym

suna in middle school had a game with his friends about who could make kids cry the fastest

The twins switched places back in middle school and nobody could tell because of how great they are at acting like eachother

Daichi once arrested coach ukai for public intoxication after a game :|

Daichi has arrested many people from his old volleyball team but the most memorable case was when he arrested tanaka and noya for reckless driving. poor idiots got so scared when they saw their old captains face in their mirror and started to pray

tanaka, while trying to intimidate someone, once said "You dont gotta tell me twice, i may be straight but these hands are bisexual" and he often cringes at night thinking about it

Kageyama, as a comeback to Tsukishima, said "one thing about us royalty is that we love to feast" and he also fuckin hates what he said

the third years made a cult for Kiyoko. they chant every wednesday "i'll do anything for kiyoko, she makes me go loco"

oikawas fangirls are known to be fucking rabid

yAMAMOTO AND KENMA AFTER THEIR FIGHT WERE FORCED BY KUROO TO MAKE IT UP: so they dyed their hair together

Makki and mattsun sang two trucks in front of the entire team. everyone was so confused. Makki: "twO TRUCKS HAVIN SEX!!" Mattsun: "oH yEs!"THEY'D SWITCH OFF AND HAVE LIKE CHOREOGRAPHY TOO LIKE THEY'D DO A TANGO WHILE THE SONG IS LIKE "two beer trucks, making love"

tendou once called Oikawa "mr. no-nationals" and got kicked in the shins before iwaizumi could save him

Tsukishima had a my little pony phase

you work with matsukawa at a morgue and he makes dead people jokes while you fix some dead guys face with wax and makeup he'd be like "so didnt he like,,, stick his head out of the sunroof of a moving fuckin car??" he'd be singing dumb ways to die the entire day

i feel like Kuroo has one crazy accident a year. like it might not be deadly but its fucking crazy like for example: Kuroo for sure has ridden in a shopping cart at past midnight with kenma (who pushed him down a hill) causing Kuroo to get scratched up hella well. he lied and said he spent the night with a girl and kenma fucking hated himself cause he would be the girl if that was true

Mattsun has flirted with the 4th years moms before (AS A JOKE), and because of this: he is known as “fuckin milf hunter” sometimes by the team

Warning, this next headcanon is talking about cannabis, weed, mary jane, the zoink root. so if your uncomfortable, please dont read below :)

dude i wanna get high as SHIT with Asahi 

i think Asahi would be one of those mfkers who takes one hit and is gone 

ASAHI ACCIDENTALLY GOING TO PRACTICE ZOINKED 

IMAGINE HIM SEEING TSUKISHIMA AND JUST "he looks so judgemental,,, im scared" 

OR LIKE A MAD DAICHI AND JUST "i'm gonna,,, im gonna go jump out the window now" 

Noya and Tanaka would know tho, i feel like they'd have a 6th sense when it comes to weed. they probably get some from Saeko cause she'd rather they do it in the house. they'd smell asahi like fucking dogs and just so,,, big guy had fun without us huh? 

DAICHI WOULD KNOW ABOUT ASAHI BEING ZOINKED, SMASH HIS FACE INTO THE WALL, TURN AROUND WITH A RED MARK ON HIS FOREHEAD AND WITH A BEAMING SMILE AND FEUX ENTHUSIASM SAY: "YOSH, LETS WARM UP!"

[do-not-eat-the-dove]

I need to write this, I need to write this because I am so fucking angry. I am so, so fucking angry, and every problematic shipper I want you to read this. Read it, all the way through, because if you don’t then you are ignoring children you might have harmed.

Tw’s for: beastiality mention, sexual abuse mention, paedophilia mention, typical darkfic trigger warnings in essential

When I was nine, I moved into the Aphmau fandom. Earlier than that, I was an avid reader of Harry potter. Earlier than that, I was into stampy cat and iballisticsquid and skydoesminecraft. I have been in fandoms earlier than my body can remember, and I started in on wattpad when I was very, very young. Just writing, only writing. I had a vague understanding of what sex and smut was as a child, because of unmoderated youtube thumbnails. I ran into sexual themes online, because that is what a child does okay? I will admit that I knew about sex as a child if only barely.

As a kid in fandom, you don't know how to moderate things. As a literal fucking elementary schooler who doesn’t know how to differentiate “Their” “They’re” and “There”, you do not know the difference between right and wrong. You do not understand what an 18+ warning is, and you don’t know what the fuck a dead dove is and why anyone would want to eat it in the first place. You do not understand, and i think that this is something that problematic content creators expect of literal fucking children, and i also think that it is extremely irrational and condescending for you to do so.

When I was a bit older, maybe twelve/thirteen, I found ao3. I found twitter, tumblr, bnha and anime. I was excited because it was a community, so I became super involved as fast as I could. I had still not hit puberty yet. I hadn’t even learned the pythagorean theorem yet. I didn’t entirely understand variables and I had no clue that washing your face was basic hygiene. I am bringing this up to display to you that I. WAS. A. CHILD. A kid. Five years ago at this point I still had trouble jump-roping. I was a kid who had average decision-making skills for their age and who found the idea of boys gross, crushes were based on who was fastest in gym class.

I let go of tumblr because I couldn’t grasp what on earth it was supposed to be used for and how it was supposed to be used, I posted shitty depressed memes on reddit because I thought I was edgy. And then I got involved in fandom twitter.

Me, my friends, we recommended each other cute ship threads and discussed Notps and did “toxic fandom stuff” because we were children who still celebrated valentines day with sweet-tarts and holographic paper cards. I still knew jack shit about sex and relationships because as a child sex education is just “this is a penis, this is a vagina, this is how you don’t get pregnant, any questions?” 

So when one day, i decide to type “BNHA” into the search bar of twitter, intent on finding cute things to share with my online friends and instead am greeted with a picture of a character raping another character, I don’t know exactly what to do.

Let me repeat that; I looked up JUST the word “BNHA”. Just that. Nothing else. 

And I, a child, who has no decision making skills, clicks on the post. Because it makes me feel funny, and children are curious.

As a middle schooler. As a child who had the average physical and mental capacity to resist impulse, aka none, as someone who used Uwu and OwO unironically, who thought spelling “as” with a Z made me quirky and fun, discovered a main-tagged post of a character being nsfwed in a sexual assault.

From here, I explored. What you people don’t get is that is what children do. That is what children DO. And you, in all your wonderful wise ways, decide that it is on ME. On someone who had no understanding of what this was, to be the adult and say “I do not think this is right.” You, the thirty year old woman who maintags, are saying that to me, who was a twelve year old. 

I think the most traumatic thing I read during that time was an aged-down character, who went from fifteen to five, being sexually abused and pimped out by his mother and forced to have sexual contact with dogs.

Today, I suffer from intense intrusive thoughts that I do not think I need to be diagnosed for, because constantly wondering if you’re going to be sexually assaulted by every single man you come in contact with, having to shoo away evil disgusting thoughts that have made you involuntarily gag and nearly vomit, having to deal with these awful things in my brain is proof enough. Today, I have such a deep-rooted fear of sex and men and relationships that despite me being entirely Heterosexual, wanting children in the future, having these ideas of a family, I feel incapable. 

Today, I saw a fic saying that it was my own fault if I found their problematic fic, and today I raged for every child that is going to be messed up by people who choose to blameshift just because they want to use maintags. 

As fandom spaces get younger, and the fan age range grows bigger I have noticed a distinct uptick in who is reading and consuming fan content on social media. I know eleven year olds, ten year olds, I have met a nine year old child who messaged like they were twenty. All of these children read fanfiction of characters that they adore, and click on fics that include those characters because they adore them.

I’m going to share another experience that I’ve had with sex and sexual abuse that was self-inflicted, but normalized by the content that I had consumed. As a child, a thirteen year old, I messaged adult men. I went on omegle text chat, I found forums for sexual roleplay, I talked to probably a dozen adults in sexual manners without them knowing or realizing. Even a few women, and I am completely certain this experience is going to scar me until the day that I fucking pass. It makes me feel empty inside, but you know what? Your fics normalized that for me. I read a tweet from an adult, someone much older than me, who talked about having gone into adult spaces as a child. They did the same thing as me. It is a trend, but while I recognize that I was too young to know what I was seeing, reading, hearing from people who were older than me and therefore authority figures, they blamed themself. And that is the most heartbreaking fucking thing.

When you maintag. When you use a main tag, that a child who does not know how to filter out scrolls down on, and they decide that this will be an okay thing for them to consume because adults know better, will you look them in the eyes and tell them the fear of things they don’t understand and haven’t even been introduced to yet is their fault? Will you tell them that ao3 is an adult site for adults and it’s their fault for being stupid enough to read it? Will you tell them that the images that will play in their minds for years until they’re desensitized and so so scared that they’re now a bad person because of it, will you tell them that it was their fault for clicking on it when they were seven, eight, nine? 

Frankly, I do not give a shit about what you write. If it is in rpf and you still push it i will think you are a bad person, but other than that I could never care less. But I do care what you tag, because If you write the word bnha on twitter with an image of a young child's favorite character being sexually brutalised? If you maintag a fic where someone is starved till they are nearly dead, infantilised, sexually abused during all of it, and leave it out in the open on a site you know has children, in a fandom you know is targeted towards kids. If your tags leave a child open for attack, harm, mental scarring? I care, because I will not let another child be blamed for something they themselves did not fully understand the weight of.

Yoongi’s Friend (Jungkook x Reader)

Pairing: Jungkook x fem!reader

Warnings: none (so far)

A/N: I posted the teaser to this a few days ago so here is the continuation, hope you like it! xx

Summary: You are Yoongi’s friend and are spending too much time in his studio that you are just bound to bump a few too many times into Jungkook or the one where Kookie is too shy to talk to you but will drop by an annoyingly amount of times at the Genius Lab if it means seeing your face

“Okay so maybe if we bring it up half a key for the bridge” you said to Yoongi as you reached out to play the keyboard laying on his left as he watched you unamused, far too frustrated for this being the third day in a row working on the track. You and Min Yoongi had met not long ago through a mutual producer friend that was way too excited to get you both to collaborate, seen as you too were a musician, just obviously not as big as himself. 

“Hey hyung, Namjoon-hyung says that you need to have dinner with us toni-“ a voice coming from the door had you both turning towards it, spotting a messy mop of dark head and a surprised, childish like expression that belonged to none other than Jungkook, both your and his eyes locking for a brief second before you smiled at him, not that you two were close, hell, you two hadn’t even been introduced to each other because every time you came by BigHit, you spent it in Yoongi’s studio, but you’d be lying if you said you didn’t find the youngest attractive, especially after those beautiful vocals Yoongi had let you hear in the demos for the song you were currently working on.

Jungkook disappeared as quickly as he had appeared and without a further word, leaving Yoongi to release an annoyed sigh.

“It’s cute how they worry about you” you mentioned, starting to collect your things, not wanting to intervene in their plans “We can always clean the track some other day, Yoongles”

“Please don’t call me that” he had his head resting on the top of his chair, thinking about who knows what “It’s just that we’ve been on this for far too long and-”

“I’ll see what comes to mind back home, yeah?” you called from the door “I’ll text you”

They were all sitting across the living room, phones in hand as the TV played some movie in the back.“Yoongi-hyung?” Jungkook asked looking up from his phone as the elder just hummed in response, not bothering to look up “Who was that girl back in your studio?”

It wasn’t exactly like Yoongi didn’t share his side projects with the rest of the group- it was just that he liked to be sure they were coming out alright before announcing the news, but your collaboration was something that came out of nowhere, and so most of his time was spent inside the lab.

“Err… she’s just a producer” he said nonchalantly, hoping Jungkook would drop the topic and none of the other members paid attention to it, but of course, they didn’t. A string of questions ranging from ‘is it for your new mixtape’ to ‘is she pretty?” were thrown at him in the span of 10 seconds and he was forced to look up from the screen, making the room go silent at once “Her name’s Y/N, we met through a mutual friend, we’re working on a collaboration for her newest album, yeah she’s pretty and no, none of you idiots will get anywhere near her.”

No more words were shared as he got up from his spot and entered the studio once again, not before muttering a quick ‘thanks for the food’ to Jin.

The next day you arrived at the usual time, two americanos in hand.

“You know, I bumped into Jungkook and Jimin as I was entering the building,” you said, placing one of the cups on his desk as you took your usual spot on the couch next to it “Is it just me, or is the maknae growing prettier by the day?”

Yoongi almost choked on his sip of coffee as the words left your mouth “Please tell me I just hallucinated you saying that from sleep deprivation” you laughed at his reaction “Y/N...I’m going to have to ask you not so kindly not to even think about dating Jungkook” 

“Why though? He’s cute”

“Y/N, you and I are basically the same person, it would be as if Jungkook decided to date a female version of me” he shivered in an over-exaggerated way to show his disgust at the thought of it “And that’s a question I never want to be answered”

“Fine”

･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆

The next few days were spent with stolen glances while walking by Jungkook every time you set a foot in Big Hit’s building to go to Yoongi’s studio, and today was no exception as he shyly waved your way from one of the practice rooms you walked by on your way to the studio.

“Jungkook really is a cute one,” you said out loud as you were sitting in the couch scrolling through Twitter as Yoongi was typing away in the computer, your collaboration song almost done, just missing a few touch-ups 

“Gosh I thought we had talked about this, Y/N” Yoongi’s voice made your head turn faster than expected, cheeks going redder by the second, you surely didn’t mean for the phrase to escape your lips “I really really don’t want to know if Kook would date the female version of me” 

You rolled your eyes at that, but since you couldn’t tell whether or not he was being serious, decided to tease him further “I don’t know Yoongi, Jungkookie might have gotten you a new ARMY” you turned your phone screen for him to see your timeline overflowing with tweets from their fans, to what his eyes focused on yours in a disappointment manner

･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆

Of course, you weren’t about to admit that what began as a way of teasing Yoongi over his authoritary decision of prohibiting you to like the maknae, developed into a serious crush in the course of two weeks; aimlessly scrolling through Twitter turned into a full-consciously searching for ‘Boyfriend Material Jungkook thread’ and sure as hell you were not about to admit that most of your findings made you smile fondly, even making your heart skip a bit.

It was around 8 am as you were making your usual trip to Yoongi’s studio after getting two americanos in the cosy cafe on the way there that the rapper seemed to adore, smiling in the receptionist’s way as you greeted her and she granted you access to the building, making sure to wish her a nice day, nothing could have prepared you to what was about to happen.

“Y/N!” the mention of your name made you turn full 180 to be met by none other than Jungkook making his way to you, messy hair, loose black shirt and those goddamn grey sweatpants that made it so hard for you to look away from, it was almost impossible to believe that such a man let out the tiniest of ‘hi’ you way as he stood before you 

“Oh hey, Jungkook”  you could feel your cheeks redden by the second and it was hard to miss the bunny smile he threw your way, most probably at the increasing awkwardness thanks to the extending silence that grew between you, your wittiness and remaining brain cells leaving your body, making up the stupidest of excuses to run away from there “coffee, here” 

Jungkook laughed an adorable laugh as he threw a “thank you Y/N, I’ll see you around” as you were already entering the studio.

“God I have to be the greatest idiot living on Earth” you muttered as you took a sip from your coffee

“Well, I’m certainly not denying that-” Yoongi turned around on his chair “Wait where’s my coffee?” your eyes widened at that and offered him your cup

“Take mine, I gave yours to Jungkook”

“You gave, my coffee to Jungkook? Do I even wanna know?” he gladly took you cup from your hands as you groaned in annoyance, would it be so bad to just let him know about your crush? if anything, he was the one to blame in the first place.

“Listen, I panicked okay?” as you cringed at the events from a few moments ago, Yoongi’s expression remained the same, unreadable.

He took another sip from the cup and began to talk “Okay first of, may I just say I absolutely adore this coffee” he made a dramatic pause, much to his teasing style “Second, you’re trying to tell me that you pushed a cup of coffee in Jungkook’s hands and then ran off?” a few of his word cut off from small laughs escaping his mouth “The great Y/N fell into the charms of Jeon Jungkook? man…”

You hid behind your hands as he kept going with his monologue of how the youngest member was taking over the hearts of everyone “I mean technically… this is your fault”

Yoongi gasped “Aishh… my fault?” he laughed, gummy smile showing “ Let’s just get to work, lover girl”  

As much as he adored to tease you back for all the times you had teased him, the song wasn’t about to finish itself, or perhaps after all of this, he had just the right thing in mind to kill two birds with one stone.

･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆

Yoongi had texted you early in the morning to drop by the studio as early as possible, saying he was finally able to find that je ne sais quoi that was missing in your song, and so you happily obliged, Yoongi was an amazing producer and you couldn’t help but let your mind wander to all the possibilities, was it a change in key? or perhaps a new beat?

Your heart pounded the fastest it had ever beaten as you opened the door to the recording studio and your ears were filled with amazing vocals that belonged to none other than the dark-haired boy inside the booth, Jungkook.

“That was just amazing, you can come out Jungkook” Yoongi called from the mixing board

“What is this all about, Yoongi?” he smiled and turned to Jungkook as he made his way out and greeted you in the smallest voice possible, both your cheeks and his slightly pink.

“Oh, I’ll just Kookie here explain to you as I, Min Suga genius, get a very well deserved coffee” he patted the younger’s shoulder and soon disappeared through the door

Jungkook took a seat in the rolling chair and barely faced you as he scratched the back of his head, you not understanding a single thing of what was going on “Yoongi-hyung had this idea of mixing some hidden vocals and-” he raised his sight to watch your confused expression “yeah...I hope you don’t mind?”

You cleared your throat twice, in a failed attempt to calm yourself down “Not at all Kook, your vocals are not that bad- I mean, no, your vocals are amazing- they always are and...yeah, I’ll shut up now” you let out a breathy laugh, mentally hitting yourself in the head and wondered if there was any chance for earth to swallow you whole.

A few seconds went by of you roaming your eyes around the room, not having enough courage to meet his eyes, as the usual awkward silence filled the room until you felt his knee bump your own and felt his hand lift up your chin to meet his gaze, to which you were sure as hell he could now hear your heartbeat; the silence soon turned into a suffocating heat and mutual stolen glances to each other’s lips before he came closer and time seemed to slow down as you closed your eyes and felt his lips warm against your own, only to be met by nothingness and a closing door a few seconds after, when you opened your eyes again.

･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆

Your mind had gone blank after that kiss, you stopped going by the studio since you couldn’t quite wrap your mind around it, and you couldn’t raise enough courage to confront Jungkook about it.

One Sunday afternoon, there was a soft knock on your door, looking through the peephole twice, you couldn’t help a thousand thoughts running through your mind as you saw Jungkook standing on the other end of the door.

“Here” he shoved a small paper bag into your hands, just the way you had done that time with the coffee “Yoongi-hyung said they were your favourites and-” his eyes searched for your face and he sighed heavily “Y/N I’m so sorry for what happened the other day, I don’t know what got over me, I’ve just- I’ve liked you since the first day I saw you and-”  you cut him off by standing on your tiptoes and placing a tender and quick kiss on his lips before both of you broke into a smile.

He wasted no time in placing both of his hands on your waist and deliver a series of pecks on your lips as he walked both of you into your apartment, making sure to shut the door before your body was pressed between the wall and his own, your hands quickly finding their way behind his neck in an attempt to bring him any closer, your mouths finding their way against each other at the increasing tension, the warmth of his lips making you weak on the knees, a small smile playing on both of your faces as he placed his forehead against yours, breathing heavily.

“Next time don’t run away from me,” you said looking into his eyes

“Wasn’t planning on doing that” his thumb started caressing your cheek as he leaned in once again and you laughed at how stupid you both had been.

Daddy!Steve NSFW ABCs 🌶

AHHHHH it is here! Well…it is here but it is in pieces, haha. I’ve decided to do little installments because I was getting carried away. This post is I, J, K, and L! It includes Twink!Bucky as well because it was inevitable. Please please enjoy and please please litter my inbox and notifications with love if you think I am worthy of it. ILY. 

Parts A, B, C, and D

Parts E, F, G, and H

Intimacy

There are many words that Bucky would use to describe Steve Rogers: daring, confident, intelligent, devoted, caring. Out of all of those words Bucky would shove them aside and choose intense. Steve Rogers is one of, if not the, most intense men he has ever met. No one is as driven as Steve Rogers. When he puts his mind to something there is nothing that can get in his way that is a true obstacle. Steve would sacrifice himself and his health, mentally and physically, to accomplish a task. He can walk into a room and immediately demand attention from all occupants. People want to know him but are intimidated to approach him.

Steve Rogers is intense.

Steve Rogers is arguably even more intense in the bedroom.

When Bucky gets fucked by Steve, he feels like his soul is being turned inside out, punched out in the hysterical noises he makes, like he’s a different person on the other side of his time in bed with Daddy. He cried the first time he and Steve had sex, hadn’t even realized he had started crying until he heaved in a sob of a gasp and Steve was kissing at his cheeks, continuing to fuck him through it. A quick fuck, a marathon of sex, in the bedroom, in a car—no matter what it is or where it always feels like they’re making love.

Steve is attentive, the most attentive lover Bucky has had or will ever have, knows Bucky like he’s been studying him his entire life. Steve loves making Bucky come, focuses on it intently, not stopping until the younger has come at least twice. He’s never had a partner that wasn’t focused on coming themselves, chasing that pleasure, but with Steve his only sole focus is Bucky and how he feels. The attention made Bucky uncomfortable at first, not something he was used to, coming to realize that Steve is right in pointing out Bucky had a growing praise kink.

Bucky knew Steve loved him before the older man even said the words, could feel it in his actions, in the way he wrung orgasm out of orgasm from Bucky. The way Steve looked into his eyes, forehead pressed into Bucky’s, trying to maintain eye contact while fighting to prevent his eyes from rolling back into his head. The way he held onto Bucky, gripped his thighs, his chin, his arm across his chest, cradled his head, whispered his encouragement into his ears, his skin. The way he cherished Bucky and eventually verbalized his love for Bucky made him feel like he was the most-loved person on the planet.

Even during their drunken romps or goofy foreplay or giggles, Steve is still intense but moreso in how hard he loves Bucky and how focused he is on making the younger feel as much pleasure as possible. Bucky is one lucky bastard.

Jack Off Steve is a simple man. He likes his coffee black, he likes his pies apple, and he likes to greet the day with an orgasm. He tends to rise early, around five in the morning, enjoys that because he has a slow and steady start to the day. Steve has always had a sex and he especially has one now that he has this sweet little thing to fall asleep next to at night and to wake up wrapped around in the mornings. That fact alone, high sex drive or not, would make anyone a morning person, would make any man as hard as a rock within seconds of waking up.

Within seconds of waking up Steve is pulling the younger man towards him, snuggling in and wrapping him up tight in his arms. Bucky rarely wakes fully, very much a night owl, sinks into sleep like a stone in water. Within about a minute of that, Steve has a raging erection, one he likes digging into the meat of Bucky’s plush ass, slow and leisurely. It’s at this point that Bucky rises, comes to join Steve in greeting the day, sometimes in full and sometimes still half asleep.

Steve likes to start the day with an orgasm but Steve likes to start the day with an orgasm brought to him by Bucky. The younger man knows this, knows Steve’s desires and routine well within a few months of seeing each other, is aware of what Steve wants when he wakes, when he feels that hot and heavy erection pressing into somewhere on his body. There are a variety of emotions that Bucky can feel, sometimes grumpy and sometimes wanting to get off himself, but the overarching feeling for him is the desire. Daddy wants him, wants him the moment he wakes up, and how can that not make him all flushed and happy?

Steve’s favorite is when Bucky is a little sleepy, not quite awake, but shit is he sweet. His cheeks are all flushed and he’s snuggly and wants kisses and coos, wants to do anything to make Daddy happy. He’ll yield to Steve beautifully, something so angelic about Bucky when Steve gets to see him wakeup and greet the day, whisper, “Daddy want my hand?” and Steve will rumble, kiss that spot behind his ear that makes Bucky shiver. “I’ll take whatever you wanna give me, sugar. Don’t have to do a thing,” is what Steve will respond with, pressing his erection into the cushion of Bucky’s ass, the curve of his hip, his belly.

Steve loves Bucky’s hands on him. He loves the way Bucky’s fingers resemble the rest of him, lithe and delicate, loves the way they look fit snug around Steve’s cock. At the beginning of their relationship Steve spent time teaching Bucky, showing him the way that he liked to be touched, what Steve craved to feel from the younger man. Now Bucky could work him over efficiently, Steve maybe being too good of a teacher or Bucky having been too good of a pupil.

Either way, it was a stupendous way to start the day. Sometimes it was sloppy and Steve would have to do most of the work, rutting into a somewhat loose fist, Bucky making soft pretty noises, halfway asleep. Other times Bucky was more alert, could work both hands and run his mouth at the same time, sweet sleepy words, Steve being the one that is less awake. “Mornin’, Daddy. This fat cock woke me up, couldn’t ignore it anymore, wanna make it come. Would you like that? Yeah? Come ‘ere, roll over. Wan’it on me, all of it, come on, Daddy—”

Heartrates are still low, soft gasps, sunlight filtering in through the dark curtains. Rolls in the sheets, lips pressed into skin yet not quite kisses, hums, encouragement. Sleepy smiles, low groans, slow builds. By the time Steve is spilling into Bucky’s hand it’s with a gentle moan of a sigh, a stutter of his hips, a press of his face into Bucky’s neck, shoulder, cheek. It’s intimate and domestic and Steve is one lucky bastard.

Kink 

Steve is kink. Lives and breathes it, continues to teach Bucky everything he knows, turned his world upside-fucking-down when they first met. There has been nothing that Bucky has brought up or asked questions about that Steve hasn’t confidently answered or taught him. Over time Bucky has learned which kinks are Steve’s favorites, which are reoccurring, the ones that make the older man hardest the fastest, aside from daddy kink. That one was a given, has been from Day One, being brought up during their first interaction.

Over time, Steve had explained to Bucky what it meant to him, more than just a name that frequented porn or Twitter. He explained that he loved the feeling of taking care of someone, of someone relying on him for a plethora of different things, of feeling needed on an almost necessary level. He loved the aspect of control he could have over someone, how hot that got him, how much he craved that. It made sense to Bucky, this dynamic and how it fit into their relationship, how it seemed to be built into Steve and who he was as a person.

Of all the other kinks there are three that Steve is more drawn to.

The first one is come play. There is nothing that makes Steve feel more like an animal, hotter in his gut, less in control, than Bucky and his come: Bucky wearing his come, Bucky swallowing his come, Bucky pushing his come out of his cunt. Marking Bucky with his come in whichever way he chooses is the ultimate sign of submission and it makes Steve’s gut clench, his head go fuzzy, his mouth drop open.

He can’t help but growl and groan when he watches Bucky look up at him as he swallows around Steve’s cock, fingers pumping tight over him, wringing him dry and taking every drop. He can’t help but hold Bucky close, lock eyes with steel blue ones, pump his hips a little frantically, when he comes inside of Bucky. The first time Bucky let him, had asked Steve to fuck him without a condom, the older man immediately grew hard, zoned out, grabbed for Bucky.

“You know what that does to me, sugar? Oh god, that you’re sweet enough to let Daddy mark you on the inside? Mmm, makes me hard as fuck, baby of course I’ll fuck you bareback…”  

There’s an added level of pride and satisfaction when he is reminded of the fact that he made Bucky into his own little comeslut, was the one who made this sweet kid desperate for come, made him love taking it any way he could get it. He loves how much Bucky has grown to love his come.

The second kink that is up there for Steve is humiliation, but he simply cannot help it when Bucky makes him want to be a bad man. The first time Steve saw Bucky blush just from a simple sweet name and a direct flirt, he knew he’d be in for a treat. A wink eventually escalated to a hand on the back of his neck which then escalated to a filthy kiss. The first time that Steve called Bucky a sweet boy and asked him if he was hard for Daddy, he swore Bucky was going to combust, his whines and sobs damn near hysterical.

There’s something about showing Bucky new things, new feelings, a different side to himself, that Steve takes great pride in but that normally comes with pushing Bucky, making him a little uncomfortable. Steve loves to see his sweet boy uncomfortable though, loves to hear those whines and whimpers, loves to watch him squirm, the way his neck flushes red. He loves whispering filth into Bucky’s ear and hearing him get flustered, hearing those little shocked and aroused noises, the “Ohh, Daddy,” he lets out in response.

Steve loves referring to Bucky’s cock as “small” and “little” even though it isn’t, adores making Bucky tell him how he feels and what he wants, gets wrapped up in his head when he starts to see the signs of Bucky floating. Steve’s favorite is when he refers to Bucky as “Princess”, asks him if his little pussy is all wet for Daddy, if he’s all ready for Daddy’s tongue, his mouth, his fingers, his cock. Bucky held back tears the first time he pushed that envelope, shot off like a rocket to Steve’s fingers alone and then twice more on his cock. Humiliation has been good to them both.

The last kink that Steve can’t help but include, one that surprised himself, is Bucky being bossy. The first time Bucky got angry angry, not just the huff and pout kind of angry, it had been some of the best sex of his life. Steve had to fight for Bucky, fight for his submission, bent him hard over the kitchen counter and fucked the sour mood right out of him. He loved a little angry fuck every once in a while but the more common occurrence of bossy Buck that Steve adores is when the younger knows exactly what he wants, when he wants it, and there’s no messing around.

Steve knows it’s coming before it happens because Bucky isn’t sweet. There aren’t giggles or batting eyelashes or sweet kisses. There are more pointed looks, more hands, more force and Steve thinks it is hot as fuck to see his sweet little Buck take what he wants from Daddy. Bucky can want a variety of different things from Steve all ranging from wanting to suck him off as soon as he walks in the door (barely a hello, a push against the door, hands at his belt, a graceful drop to his knees) all the way to shoving him back on the couch for a hard and quick fuck (already prepped, half naked, bouncing in his lap, telling Steve to touch him so he can come).

Steve loves that Bucky feels comfortable and confident enough to push Steve around a little, to get what he wants and not just what Daddy wants. Sometimes they need that change of pace, need that alternate power swap, it being healthy for the two of them.

Steve’s favorite is when Bucky is feeling very confident, when he wants to be the one to tease and be in control, wants to ride in Daddy’s lap and tell him what to do. Steve is weak for that.

“No, Daddy—watch, don’t touch. Are you watching? Look how hungry that little cunt is for your cock, fuck so good, you gimme just what I need, Daddy, so big. Gonna go slow so you can see my cunt eat you up, oh god, is it tight, Daddy? S’feel good? No, I’ll tell you when I’m done, not yet.”

Needless to say, Bucky using Steve, taking what he wants and being in charge, are some of the most memorable orgasms of Steve’s life.

Location

If there’s one room Steve finds himself getting the most handsy in it is surprisingly the kitchen. He loves cooking himself but loves watching Bucky move around the room confidently even more, providing for Steve in such a domestic way that makes his chest tighten. It doesn’t even need to be a fancy dinner or a large breakfast that Bucky is working on; it can be a snack or Bucky can be finishing homework at the island and Steve is grabbing at him, kissing at his neck, whispering in his ear.  

Bucky has come to know that the kitchen makes Steve hard, pokes fun at him, grows a little breathless and hard himself in almost a Pavlovic way. There have been countless times where Bucky is cooking, a blush growing on his cheeks as he works, comfy clothes on his lithe form, and he’ll look over at Steve and sigh.

“You’re gonna make dinner late, Steve,” he’ll say just in time for Steve to scoop him up and carry him to the bedroom or press him into the kitchen island. Steve will chuckle or hum in an acknowledgment, Bucky not surprised whatsoever, and he was indeed correct—they’d be eating dinner late.

Another honorable mention is the car, whether or not Steve is the one driving not mattering much. Steve has found Bucky pressed tight against his side and sucking on his earlobe in the back seat of a car more often than not. Something about the back and passenger seat of the car makes Bucky feel frisky and in return has made Steve to come and enjoy it as well. There’s nothing that quite matches Bucky all breathless and needy grinding in his lap in the backseat of a car or the younger’s alarmingly filthy mouth murmuring into his ear, hand at his growing erection, as he drives.

As much as Steve loves fucking on the couch (such an obvious spot when they’re cuddling and close, one thing naturally leading to the next) nothing can match the comfort and intimacy of their shared bed. It is so large and soft and comfortable and seeing Bucky spread out in it as Steve fucks into him—nothing can beat it. Steve can move Bucky around effortlessly, able to move from position to position like water, flowing from one to the other.

There are so many options in the bed whereas they are constrained when they are anywhere else: he can tie Bucky’s wrists to the headboard, he can bend him over the edge of it, can let Bucky’s head dangle over the side and fuck his mouth. He can fuck Bucky on his back with his thighs spread wide or his ankles crossed behind Steve’s neck. He can roll him to his front and fuck him diagonal across the mattress, press his body in tight to Bucky’s in a deliciously overwhelming way. The bed is closest to the bathroom and, just like the kitchen, Steve can’t help himself when he watches Bucky cross to the closet from the shower.

The bedroom is a classic for a reason and Steve isn’t about to mess with perfection.

Until next time...😘😘😘

"Boomer Remover," a mean nickname for the novel coronavirus COVID-19, began trending on Twitter early Friday.

The term has appeared in more than 65,000 tweets and references the higher mortality rate among older people infected with COVID-19—particularly among people over 60, including the Boomer Baby age cohort approximately between the ages of 56 and 74.

The nickname is most often touted by teenagers, with adults then sharing the term on social media, as in this early viral example of the trend:

But while the trending topic has generated lots of anger, its early mentions on social media were mostly apocryphal anecdotes, rather than people wielding the name as an expression of anger directed at people over 55.

"Heard like a 15 year old kid call corona the 'boomer remover' in line at the store and it's had me on hard tilt all day," reads one representative early usage. "Kids are so mean bro lol."

As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, more and more data points to its particular danger to the elderly. More than 1,000 people have died of the disease in Italy, with a March 4 analysis of its first 105 victims finding an average age of 81. In the landlocked Hubei province, where the novel coronavirus originated, China's Center for Disease Control found a variable mortality rate among its first 72,000 patients. According to Vox, COVID-19 was fatal for more than one percent of people who contracted the disease between the age of 50-59, with the mortality rate soaring in higher age brackets: to 4.6 percent among 60-69 year olds and nearly ten percent for victims between the age of 70 and 79.

In the United States, many of the age groups correlated with higher mortality rates after COVID-19 infection could be categorized as Baby Boomers, often shortened to Boomers—an especially large demographic, created by a "boom" in post-World War II births. Wielding considerable economic, social and political power, the Boomers have become a recent cultural fixation, particularly among Millennials and younger generations. Viral catchphrases like "Okay, Boomer" prod the older generation's perceived cluelessness and anger at the changing culture.

Nicknaming COVID-19 the "Boomer Remover" began at the very end of February, with only a handful of social media mentions through the first week of March. One early example, posted by comedian Toby Muresianu of the Up Close & Political podcast, jokingly urged the use of "boomer remover" as a replacement for "Wuhan virus"—the name for the COVID-19 virus preferred by prominent conservatives and racists working to keep the blame focused on China

By March 12, jokes renaming or describing COVID-19 as "boomer remover" were widespread, but the nickname for the coronavirus pandemic didn't really take off until Thursday. By Friday morning "Boomer Remover" was trending on Twitter in the United States.

Boomer Remover has since become a battleground for generational warfare on social media, frequently couched as a natural consequence of how the Baby Boomer generation has treated the planet or approached politics—either an unfortunate outgrowth of the more conservative brand of politics suggested by Baby Boomer voting demographics relative to Millennials and Generation Z, or a deserved comeuppance for damage done to the environment and/or social fabric. In response, Boomers and Boomer defenders have used the trending term to decry young people's alleged dependency.

As with every trending topic, a portion of the trend is caused by people decrying the trend. In two posts, Twitter user @DerArschloch helpfully demonstrated both sides of the raging social media tussle over the term:

Beyond its use by young people describing or urging on (mostly jokingly) the higher mortality rate suffered by older people infected with the novel coronavirus, Boomer Remover has also found traction as an indictment of the generation's perceived myopia.

Beyond its use by young people describing or urging on (mostly jokingly) the higher mortality rate suffered by older people infected with the novel coronavirus, Boomer Remover has also found traction as an indictment of the generation's perceived myopia.

A Thursday article in The Washington Post has become associated with the trending term by highlighting Boomers ignoring advice from the CDC and refusing alterations to their lifestyle. On a Facebook page for The Villages, a Florida retirement community (and the fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States), a majority of residents seemed to agree that the pandemic was "being overblown."

Many on social media have compared the reaction to similar generational splits found among voting populations on other world-scale crises, including preferred government responses to global warming.

Since all generational narratives assign stereotyped attributes and flatten massive demographics into loose age categories, the trending use of Boomer Remover as a nickname for coronavirus inevitably involves sweeping statements and attacks, guaranteed to leave everyone feeling aggrieved, misunderstood and ill-used.
