Side note I am taking more requests if anyone is interested

After UA everyone is class 1-a kept in close contact. Coincidentally both you and Bakugo are in neighboring agencies and see each other quite often at mixers and group parties. One day both agencies claimed that after the most recent villain attack that everyone needed to take a break so each company decided that every hero draw a number and the two heroes that drew the same number would leave for a week to go to an all expenses paid spa with traditional rooms and a private hot spring bath. Today was no different, everyone is lined up and as one of the assistants comes along with a jar everyone grabs a piece of paper, today's number was 78, unfolding your little piece your heart stops, 78 in bold is staring back at you, stepping forward claiming the first spot wondering who you'll be going to the resort with. The agency is on FaceTime and you watch as Bakugo steps forward on the screen holding the same number as you and you feel as your stomach flips your going to be alone with him for a week, he'll be in one of those kimonos and as you imagine it your face heats up. You've been in love with this guy ever since your days at UA he'd never see you that way of course you may be smart and have a sonic scream but you're also a slacker pot head from the US. You hear as everyone cheers for you and congratulates you on being able to take the week off with Bakugo no less. Finishing up the rest of your shift trying to ignore all the comments everyone is making some rude or snarky, your friends however made encouraging remarks and how this could be your chance to seduce him. As your day comes to an end your phone vibrates looking at it your heart races

Bakugo: Guess you're gonna be in my space for a week huh?

Reading the message you laugh he hasn't changed really

You:Yeah I guess so huh you'll just have to forgive me

You reply attempting to be a little flirty but also keep the same energy

Bakugo: I'll find some way you can make it up to me don't worry

Reading that your heart is basically in your asshole I mean how are you supposed to respond to that. You're going to be alone with him and now the entire time this will be all you can fucking think about.

You: yeah you do that lol

You reply trying to defuse the situation and not think about having the best sex life could possibly give you

Bakugo: oh don't doubt me I will

You have no idea what to say simply telling him that you'll see him in the morning and to sleep well.

--next day

You make your way to the agencies where they have a company car that they'll give you unfortunately you don't have your license so that means Bakugo will have to drive he just scoffs at that but you smile

Putting your things in the trunk you're kinda nervous honestly the only bathing suit you have is a bikini with mushrooms that is kinda low cut. Grabbing the special blanket with dragons on it that you've had since high school and need with to sleep successfully, slipping in the passenger seat getting comfy. Bakugo seeing this and scoffing again before saying

"Look at you fucking passenger princess ass" you blush at that he wasn't being mean or rude

"It's a three hour drive bakugo I wanna be comfy"you say shyly holding your blanket close to your chest

"Yeah yeah whatever get comfy then princess it's gonna be a long drive" he says placing the car in reverse putting his hand on the back of your seat watching as he turns his head to see where he's going before pulling out of the parking spot once he's out he puts the car in drive and your face goes red not only did he just call you princess but he did that thing when driving too not realizing the smirk on his face as he pulls on the highway the smirk of victory.

Bakugo has been thinking about this since yesterday morning he's going to get a week with you alone completely. He's basically been in love with you ever since you transferred to the hero course here in Japan. You're smart, kind, beautiful, and you rarely care what others think of you and he loves that. He's aware you smoke it helps with your quirk apparently. He has discovered that he has quite a thing for watching you smoke. The way you purse your lips and inhale, the way you lick your lips when dry, the way the smoke escapes past your lips. Fuck he needs to focus on driving he can't be hard right now. Taking a quick glance towards you he sees you cuddle up with said blanket, only one earbud in with something playing on your phone, you however seem interested. He doesn't want that. He wants to talk to you, he wants to be at the center of your attention. He knows its toxic and crazy since he himself needs to focus on driving but that doesn't mean they can't talk. Right?

"Put your phone down and talk to me. If I fall asleep at the wheel it's your damn fault." He says glancing in your direction.

"If this is your way of asking for me to start a conversation with you then I definitely feel like you could have done that differently but okay" you say huffing out a laugh before continuing the conversation

"What's the first thing you want to do when you get? I know personally I want to soak in that gorgeous hot spring maybe smoke a little joint, if its okay with you of course." He watches you say that with a cheeky smile. Maybe he'll join you this week is after all supposed to be relaxing and that does sound quite nice.

"what a dumb question of course imma see if they have a gym" you rolling your eyes thinking naturally

"Then find some to eat maybe and maybe in between everything I'll join you if I feel like it of course." He says side eyeing you with a slight smile only to catch that you're sporting a similar cheeky smile with pink cheeks. And that's how it went for the next three hours idle chit chat and stupid questions mostly. So when he pulls up to this large log house that has steaming chimney your pupils basically turn into hearts. It's gorgeous the way the sun hits against the large mountains and shines through the trees god you never want to leave and you haven't even stepped into the building.

Once you've both registered with secretary and got your room key (turns out its one of those two in one rooms with a single bamboo room divider) but bakugo opted for just opening the divider doors claiming they'res just more space this way they would have had to share the hot spring anyways since it's a connected room and all. Most of the time they were assigned to people with relativity large families or two pro heroes on vacation. He watches in amusement as your eyes light up again before turning back around and clapping your hands together exclaiming 'right' turning your head to face him giving a soft smile

"I'm about to pack a cone and change into my bikini would you like to join me for a soak and smoke if will" He rolls his eyes at that god you can be so corny sometimes but he listens as you go on

"Then we could find some place to eat or order in either or I don't care"

"yea whatever just let me know when you're done I'm not gonna sit around in my damn trunk" He says with a slight blush thinking of the two of you together alone in a steamy bath while you wear a bikini, fuck he feels like a teenager again and he hates it. He manages to busy himself which in hindsight could have been a mistake because when he hears you clear your throat, whipping his head around he's faced with you in a mushroom styled bikini top that hugs your tits perfectly, realizing just how big they are considering you usually wear large/baggie t-shirts, and a simple pair of black bottoms that hug your ass perfectly, letting a groan slip past his lips as he stands up quickly

"Jesus woman you scared the shit out of me, just wait for me outside I'll be out there in like 10 minutes" he says not making eye contact with you as he walks away. You step outside washing yourself off before heading over and sitting at the edge with your feet dangling into the water, gently moving your feet back and and forth in a swishing motion making sure no water actually splashes up at you, not yet at least, lighting a joint with wet hands is a real bitch, your thoughts only really stopping when you hear the pitter patter of bakugos bare feet against the smooth rock turning your head you give him a smile

"Hey I waited for you before smoking I wasn't sure if you wanted to or not but if you did we could share" You say with that stupid smile while holding up said joint and an ORAGNE lighter he doesn't know why but it makes his heart jump at the thought that maybe you bought it thinking of him little does he know how right he actually is.

"Okay jesus let me rinse off first before you start rushing me" Rolling your eyes at this but giving a slight okay anyways. You can't help as your eyes follow his every movement watching as his back muscles flex and constrict due to his movements. Blush enveloping your face and a little of your neck god your going to be spending a week here with this man. Bakugo being a little tipsy as he took some shots of Soju to help calm his nerves but its doing the exact opposite maybe smoking will help he thinks when he smells it, the potent stench of marijuana. Turning his head he watches as you stand up water splashing as you walk towards him with the joint between your lips gently sucking and exhaling the smoke, he watches as your hips sway walking towards him, getting close to his face pushing said joint up against his lips as a silent plea to open his mouth and when he does you get a full whiff of alcohol and you take a step back as you look at him

"Were you in there drinking? Whats up? You know you can tell me anything right?" You say leaning down a little to make sure you force eye contact since he's been avoiding it. You watch as he groans and takes a hit before coughing slightly and handing the joint back to you without saying anything he steps into the water submerging himself halfway into the steaming water before looking back at you as a silent way of asking if your coming or not and you do walking over and you sit next to him smoking the joint a little, looking at him as he scratches the back of his neck almost ashamed, opening his mouth but he doesn't say anything so you hand him the joint again, he's clearly nervous, taking it from your hand he inhales harshly handing it back to you as he falls into a small coughing fit. Watching as he sputters a little, laughing at him a little amused, getting in closer to gently rub his back and help calm his breathing again. Not realizing that in getting to close your breast have pressed up against his side in hopes of calming him down

"Okay i'm fine now so you can move" He says shifting away from you and you smile a little giving a short 'sorry' you say looking at him in hopes that since you moved away he would tell you whats wrong with him

"Okay so we met in ua and you've always been so annoying with that damn smile of yours and the way you laugh,being able to light up a room with a single twinkle from your eye and that isn't even your quirk, I remember thinking for a split moment that maybe you were just like icy-hot with two of em but no and even after all that your damn smile was still to bright. Then we got put in neighboring agencies and we drew this dumb fucking lottery" And threw this whole interaction you could tell he was getting frustrated and you weren't entirely sure where he was going with this but it clearly has something to do with pent up feelings so you grab his hands taking a leap of faith pushing them against your chest getting closer looking at him with pleading eyes

"Please don't stop. I want to hear what you have to say. All of it." You say holding his hands tight against your breast and you watch as he looks away a blush spreading to the tip of his ears

"Fuck I just- I don't know I'm still trying to figure how to say shit" he says quickly and you realize that's true he's always been a man of action

"Well don't say anything then" you say gripping his hands pressing your breasts harder into his arm getting closer, he looks at you thinking that maybe it's the alcohol or the weed but whatever it was he could feel his inhibition lowering along with his head as his lips connect with yours, groaning as you push your chest up against his, slipping into his lap as his arms wrap around your waist possessively squeezing you tight, pulling away you giggle at his possessiveness

"Why you squeezing me so tight?" You say laughing a little more and he hides his face in your breasts before mumbling something and you grip his hair a little which seems to get the memo as he pulls away

"Like hell I'm letting you go now" he mumbles hiding his face in your neck as his hips rut up against yours causing you to gasp out changing angles which puts his face right in between your breasts as his grip on you tightens and his rutting becomes rougher the water begins of the hot springs sloshing with his movements as you grip his hair grinding down and meeting his thrusts until he suddenly stops causing you to let out a whine and he pulls away from your chest much to his dismay chuckling

"I'm not cumming till I get to feel that pussy wrapped 'round me" he says almost slurred as his eyes droop grabbing your ass roughly as he picks you up sitting you on the stone side and you shiver arching your back against him

"It's cold Suki" you say whining as you feel goosebumps spread across your body and he just rolls his eyes

"You'll be fine. I gotta open you up baby" he says and you blush you've only had sex three times neither of them enjoyable which is something you should probably admit but you don't want to ruin the mood because you want to be with him and you can feel your mind running

"Hey speak up tell me to stop" he says and you grip his hand

"No! God no please. I want to be with you but I've only done this a couple of times and none of them enjoyable so I don't want to disappoint you with my own inexperience. But it's not like I think this will be bad or anything and that's another reason I'm nervous" you say but realize that you've been rambling quickly but you see as his eyebrows scrunch

"So you're worried that you won't be able to keep up and that basically I'm going to fuck you like no one else could?" He says kinda nonchalant and a blush spreads across your face at how he could simplify your insecurities in a crude way. But you giggle

"Yeah I guess kinda. I mean everyone talks about how good it can feel like leg shaking and it's scary and what if you leave after or think I make a weird face" you say giggling a little throwing your hands up in defeat

"Well I want to do with you no pressure, obviously, but I can also guarantee that I will make you feel good and like hell I'm leaving your ass I already got a taste of you." He says with a smile leaning in between your legs nibbling at your left ear

"You promise" you say a little wobble to your voice. His hands are exploring your thighs gripping, squeezing and even pinching at your thigh

"Trust me baby I fuckin promise you're stuck with me now." You giggle a little and he leans in kissing your cheek

"Okay well I'm done over thinking. You gonna fuck me now?" At that his lips connect with yours, his hips slotting between your thighs as one of his hands slips behind your back grabbing one of the loose strings pulling it untying the top. Once untied he slips the straps down your arms throwing your top somewhere, pulling away licking his lips as he grabs at your boobs kissing your chest before he moves his way down to your right breast. Holding your right breast up he gently suckles on the nipple as his left hand tugs and pinches at your other one. Feeling as he nibbles and bites at your nipple tugging with his teeth causing your back to arch and grip at his hair feeling him still grounding down on you. His left hand travels down your stomach and slips into your bottoms as his head moves towards your left nipple giving it the same attention and hickies. He pulls away slipping his hand out your pants causing you to whine in an exaggerated manner to show your disappointment.

"Cmon don't be a brat I gotta get you out of these" he says referring to your bottoms and you blush as his hands grab at the hem of them looking at you to indicate to lifting your hips up and you do listening happily at the implications. God the man you're in love is about to finger you and it turns out he feels the same way I mean like what? That's crazy?

"Mhm damn look that pussy baby"he says with a wicked grin leaning down getting into the water until he's face to face with your pussy feeling as it throbs while it clenches and unclenches around nothing covering your face in shame because you just know he can see it happen and judging by his laugh you're right.

"Mhm look at this desperate pussy clenching around nothing you're so desperate aren't you baby?" He asks clearly rhetorically since he doesn't wait for you to respond before he slips his pointer finger inside curling it up searching for that spongy spot inside and he can tell instantly when he finds it based on how you whine and clench your thighs around his head that was barely a breath away from your pussy almost feeling his breath fan against your most sensitive area. He laughs at your sensitivity deciding to add his middle finger repeating the same action curling his fingers upwards. Feeling his breath get closer and closer until you feel his tongue lick at your clit. Your head throws back, grabbing a fist full of his hair from the intense stimulation finding ground yourself to something as you feel his fingers move curl non stop and his lips suck and lick at your clit. Feeling as not only your thighs clench around his head but the knot in your stomach as well. Back arching deeper as his fingers do the same inside you so desperate to make you cum

"I'm-im gonna cum Suki fuck I can feel it!" You exclaim as your back gives out falling back against the stone as you cum on his face thighs shaking and convulsing as his fingers milk you for everything your worth. You feel as his fingers gently pull out whining at the loss. Whining about the stones being cold Bakugo laughs at you calling you a baby and you watch as he licks his lips as he grabs your wrists pulling you back into the water as he sits down on the middle step pulling you down with him landing on lap realizing he must have ditched his swimming trunks at some point looking down in the water blushing god he's so big

"Like what you see baby? This is what's gonna go inside you baby." He says whispering in your ear as he grinds his cock against your bare pussy. Gasping as you wrap your arms around his neck tight clearly nervous at the anticipation

"If you want to stop we can" he says clearly being able to sense your nervousness. But you pull away quickly

"No! I mean no. *you say gasping trying to keep your cool* I don't want to stop I'm just a little nervous. So please just be gentle with me" you say seductively grinding down and he groans

"God damn you're gonna be the death of me you know that?" And you giggle at the comment. Kissing his cheek

"Alright princess take a deep breath" he says lovingly as you feel him lift your hips gasping as you feel his cock rub at your clit before poking at your entrance

"Told you to breathe damnit" he says as he pushes his hips up against yours. Your head throws back again to the feeling of him stretching you open, his hands grip at your waist pushing you down as well to meet his hips until he's completely bottomed out inside you. He can feel as your breath hitches and your heart quickens

"Calm down" he says as you feel his right hand rub circles into your lower back. There's a proud smile on his face as he realizes that almost instantly you try to regain control of your breathing. God she's such a good girl he thinks. Feeling as you begin to move your hips grinding down slowly.

"Yeah baby? You gonna use me and my cock to please yourself?" He asks as he buries his face into your breasts sucking hickies into your sternum as his own hips begin to move. Water sloshing with the movement of both of you.

"Mhm you feel that baby? Are your thighs shaking for me?" He asks clearly proud of himself you both keep a steady pace as he fucks into you and you meet his thrusts feeling the pressure build again as your thighs do shake from the pleasure but they're beginning to burn your so fucking to close to cumming again you just can't keep going fuck

"Please- please *gasping* I can't keep doing it my thighs burn help me" you whine burying your face into his neck as you suck your own bruises into the skin. He groans at the feeling but you feel as his hand grab at your ass cheeks pulling them apart slightly as he begins fucking up against you roughly hitting your g-spot perfectly as his other hand slips between your bodies finding your clit and begins to play with it.

"Mhm damn I can you clenching around me love. You gonna cum. Yea fucking cum do it for me. I'm so close too." He says hips moving more erratic so desperate to make you cum first. And his efforts begin to pay off as he feels you clench around him the same as you did against his fingers.

"I can feel you clenching. I know you're gonna cum just do it." He says and that's basically all it takes before you're cumming around him but that doesn't stop his own thrusting. You feel as he picks you up sitting you against the stone as he fucks into you harsher cumming inside you as he pulls out you whine and he laughs

"Why did you put me back on the stone? It's cold." You whine as he rolls his eye

"I didn't want to cum in the water. Don't want to ruin the hot spring do we? Still wanna be able to use it yeah?" He says kissing you and you blush cause he's right god how embarrassing. He picks you up and takes you to the bathroom sitting you on a stool that sits in front of the shower head.

"Alright love let's get cleaned up then we can smoke a little more and cuddle. Yeah?" And you blush at that cuz fuck yeah that sounds amazing. The fact that he fucked your brains out, is gonna bathes you and then smoke with you while watching TV god you really are in love.

SPENDING VALENTINE’S DAY WITH JJK MEN ♡

A/N: I was supposed to post this on the weekend but I got sick. Anyway, all better now so enjoy reading :)

Warning: Implied smut, MDNI!!!!!

Contents: SO MUCH FLUFF! Valentine's day with Gojo, Geto, Nanami, and Toji

♡Gojo

This man will spoil you to death so of course he surprises you with SPA DAY! After brunch, he takes you to the luxurious Four Seasons hotel and you both go up to the 20th floor. 

You look up at him, “Babe, where are you taking me? You already gave me flowers, chocolate and took me to brunch.” 

He grins and winks at you, “Why are you still surprised babe? I am THE Gojo Satoru, ya know I’ll give you the world if you want to right?” While kissing your left hand. 

You just rolled your eyes at him – arrogant as ever. He just weakly laughs, “Don’t worry about it, princess.”

The elevator opens and as you are stepping out, you can hear the serene music and see the waterfalls by the entrance. The spa receptionist bows and both greets you softly, “Good Afternoon, welcome to Four Seasons Spa.” 

You squeeze his hands and he massages your back as a reply and says, “What? You need some pampering. You’ve been working too hard.”

The spa attendant leads you to change rooms and once you are in a comfortable robe, all your stress from work is instantly gone. You met him outside the change room and he was smiling so handsomely to you. You can hear all the spa attendants' squeal and side comments on how lucky you are. 

Oh, he is loving this attention so you pinch him lightly on his left arm. He pretended to be hurt and laughed, “Let’s get this straight tho, Y/N, I am the lucky one.” Then he lifts up your chin and kisses you tenderly on your lips. You felt your heart exhilarate for a moment - Satoru really makes you feel emotions you haven’t experienced before.

“You ready?” While presenting you his manly hands for you to hold. You nodded and took his hands. You both did so much pampering with the couple's facial followed by the couple's massages and of course mani and pedi after. 

After all the relaxation you did today, you feel like you’re ready to go home and sleep for atleast 12 hours, “Thank you Satoru for today. This was the best Valentine’s treat ever!” It was your turn to kiss him passionately. He sweetly smiles at you and tickles you on your sides then leaned in and whispers, “Anything for my princess… Now, it’s dessert time.” 

“Dessert? I’m still so full from brunch!”

He has the biggest smirk plastered on his face, “Heh. You’re my dessert.” He seductively says to you.” While sliding his hands on your thighs.

♡ Geto

He took you to the restaurant you’ve been wanting to try. You can see the customers and waitresses looking at him with hearts in their eyes and for some reason you just want to grab and put your lips in his and proclaim to everyone that HE IS TAKEN! He read your mind though because he knows you too well. 

He half stands up from his seat in front of you and pecks your lips. He sits down again and gently says, “Baby, you have nothing to worry about. I’m yours.” While stroking his thumb on your hands and staring at you like you’re the only person in the room. You love it when he reassures you like this. 

Before leaving the restaurant, he says that he has a surprise for you. You are now walking towards his tattoo shop and so you looked at him suspiciously, “Hmm? Do you have a tattoo session today?” He said his day is free for you so it’s just odd that he’s taking you to his shop right now.

“Shhh, just follow me.” He opens the lock and leads you inside his studio. He then sits you on the black leather couch and gets his ipad to show you something, “Here, look at this stencil.” Then sits beside you.

You saw the drawing in his ipad and you were stunned, “Suguru? Wait, no… is this?” He nods at you, “Yes, that’s the tattoo you’ve been asking me to make and yes my surprise is to tattoo you today if you still want it.” You latch on his arms and excitedly respond yes!

He wraps his left arm in your waist, “Are you sure? Cause’ once I—”

“Yes, please! I’ve been wanting this piece! I’ve made up my mind and I promise, I won’t complain.” You give him the beautiful eyes, “Okay, but no whining, beautiful.” Then he stands up, puts his gloves on, and prints the stencil. The piece that you want is a polydamas swallowtail butterfly with a dagger in the center of it. The dagger was the same one from Mortal Kombat’s Skarlet because it’s both of your favourite video game to play even though he secretly always lets you win.

You want it in your sternum so you lifted your shirt halfway but he lifted it more and you caught his wrist, “Suguru!” He laughs, “Oh, but princess I have to put alcohol a little bit higher than that.” Higher means your boobs basically. You rolled your eyes and just said, “Ahuh.” 

The tattoo lasted 3 excruciatingly painful hours. You wished that he actually told you that you were getting it today because you needed a numbing cream on your sternum. And even though Suguru was gentle, it still hurt, especially the shading portion but Suguru talked you through it and it was worth it in the end. 

You thought that that’s it for the surprise but when you went home there’s petal red roses on the floor and a bouquet of peonies in your living room table with your favourite chocolates beside it. You hugged him and said thank you for being the sweetest man ever. You ate one of the chocolates right away because you can definitely have some sweets right now after all the pain you went through. 

You offered him some and then he back hugs you while he speaks with a low guttural tone, “Hm, I’d rather have you tho.” And then softly places his lips on your neck.

♡ Nanami

You are of course a spoiled princess when it comes to Nanami. You are the love of his life and you are the one who taught him that there was more to life than just working away. You told him you don’t need any gifts for Valentines’ as he always treats you anyway. But he just nonchalantly says, “Love, don’t worry about it, it’s already handled.” 

You wake up first to ensure you give him your gift first. You made sure he is still asleep so you tiptoed your way in the kitchen and grabbed the small box of cookies you made for him. You went to your bedroom again and you can’t help falling in love all over again - on how he was peacefully sleeping with his blonde hair touching his eyes and his chiseled face relaxed.

You sit by the floor next to his side of the bed and slowly comb his hair that was in his eyes. He steadily opens his eyes and smiles at you when he sees how close you are on his face, “Hi, gorgeous.” He says while pinching your nose playfully. “I have a small surprise for you my love.” Then you give him the neatly gift wrapped box. 

He kisses you sweetly on your lips and sits upright by the headboard so you move to sit in the bed and wait patiently for him to open your gift. “You know my love, you didn’t have to, right?” He says while unwrapping it. Now, it was your turn to pinch his nose, “No! I have to. You’ve been really great to me, it’s only fair I give you one.” 

He sees the cookies and he laughs, “Oh my, I didn’t know I looked this good.” The cookie you baked was his different expressions and that was not a lot but you tried your hardest imitating it in your cookies. “What? My favourite one is this one – the one where your eyebrows meet and I can already tell you’re about to lecture me face. Come on, eat one. Let me know how I did.”

“Hmmm, not bad at all. White chocolate, my favourite.” He says approvingly, “But you know what’s sweeter than this?” He puts your gift to the bedside table then grabs you by your waist and starts tickling you.

“Hey! Nanamin! Stop!” You said laughing. He then hugs you tightly and whispers in your ear, “Hmm, you know what the pottery class I booked isn’t until 3pm anyway… So we have lots of time.” He booked the pottery class because you love that pottery scene from Ghost and of course he wanted to be Patrick Swayze for you.

“Time to do what?” You innocently batted your eyelashes at him. He then goes on top of you and with his oh so low sexy voice says, “I think I’ll just show you gorgeous.” You giggled and slapped his biceps playfully, “NANAMIN!!!!”

♡ Toji

Toji isn’t really a romantic type so when you asked him what he wanted to do for Valentines, he just gave you a “What the fuck is that? Why is that a holiday? Look” You just rolled your eyes, not expecting anything anymore. You figure since you don’t think he’ll give you something, you decide maybe you'll just spend your time with your friends.

Valentines’ day comes and you are going out to lunch with your girlfriends Shoko and Utahime – they both called it “‘Galentine's” day since they don't have dates either. You do have a man tho, but he doesn’t celebrate it so it’s whatever. Just one day, you thought. You kiss Toji goodbye and you want to be irritated at him but he hugs and whispers to you, “I’ll be waiting for you to get home.” Then winks at you.  He also tapped your ass while you walked away. You just rolled your eyes. He's such an ass man.

You were having lunch at the Italian place Utahime suggested and even though the cream gnocchi is really good, it’s been leaving a bitter taste in your mouth. “Girl, come on, don’t be so upset. You know Toji’s personality. He still loves you, he’s just not the celebrating type of guy.” Shoko comforts you.

“Yeah, you kinda signed up for this ‘ya know?” Utahime comments, “I knooooow. But still, even a box of chocolates or just a single stemmed flower, can he just do that?” You frustratingly reply.

“Tss. Valentines’ day is such a scam. You know that girlie!” Shoko says, “Yeah you’re right! Anyway, it’s Galentines’ day today so what’s next on our agenda ladies?” You tried to suppress all your irritation because whatever!  Valentines’ is a scam for capitalism but it would not hurt him to just atleast give you something? Anything? Even a love letter. Again, whatever. You shake your thoughts.

“Oh yeah, how about bowling? Sounds good?” Utahime answers. 

After losing to Shoko in bowling, they suggested another activity – archery.

“What? Can’t we just go to some bracelet making shit? I don’t know how to play that.” You whine. “Noooo, come on, this will make you forget your irritation at him. Just think of the target as Toji’s face.” Utahime drags you to the class which is conveniently near the bowling alley. 

“Fine. I mean it’s too early to come home anyway.” 

“Atta girl!” Shoko replies enthusiastically, “Don’t lose again to me, losers.” While making an L hand gesture.

Utahime and you both rolled your eyes at her, “Ugh, the attitude!” She jokingly replies.

When you cross over the street, you see a tall and buff man wearing black jeans and a tight black shirt. You know that built everywhere but you’re not sure at the same time because his face is covered with a bouquet of blue roses with tiny little teddy bears attached to it. Whoever is that girl, lucky, you thought. 

You are distracted when Utahime leads you inside the Archery entrance, “Uhm so? Y/N, this is where Shoko and I leave you. We had a great Galentines’ day thanks to him.” You look so confused looking between Shoko and Utahime but they are giggling and pointing behind you. When you turned around you saw your tough looking boyfriend holding a bouquet of flowers. You are about to speak when they immediately say goodbye to you and wink, then mouthed, “Have fun.”

You now turn to your doting boyfriend - shocked. He playfully laughs and says, “You think I won’t do anything for my girl?” Then kisses you passionately and your heart begins to flutter and dance. He gives you the bouquet and you are just so stunned because you were not expecting anything from him, “You can close your mouth now babe. Haha, Come on, I’m not that heartless.” He then leads you to your archery lane.

He spends his time carefully teaching you how to angle the arrow right and where your shoulder should be. It was a bliss spending archery class with him even though he was praising himself more. Typical, Toji *eye roll*

Little did you know, there is more surprise because when you went home, there were white petal roses on the floor and a candlelit dinner ready, “You prepared all of this? And you cooked my favourite food too?” You shockingly asked him. He just smirks at you and says nonchalantly, “Well, I am the best boyfriend.” 

He won’t admit it but Toji has some romantic traits under that tough exterior. Also, he asked your friends to take you out to distract you while he cleans the house, cook dinner and prepare all this – even giving Shoko the money to pay for lunch and a bowling outing for the three of you. 

You move forward to Toji to hug him and he catches you by your waist so you wrap your legs around his torso and began kissing his whole face for being the most loving boyfriend and promised him that he’ll have the best dessert right after. *WINK WINK*

the biggest thing i’m going to struggle with this challenge is the social media break on weekdays… any tips on that?

Well for starters, I just reblogged this post for you with practical tips.

Remember that social media is a very new thing and literally everyone who came before you (and depending on your age, even a part of your life) had life without social media. People entertained themselves, they learned, they traveled, they dressed themselves and discovered their style, they found cool foods they wanted to make, they kept up with current events, they found out about shows and movies they wanted to see, all without social media. And you can too. You are not required to be glued to your phone all day. You are absolutely allowed to log off. There’s no consequences for doing so. Very very very very very few things we find online are truly worth seeing and I can bet you a million dollars right now that you don’t remember even a fraction of the stuff you looked at today. It’s just not important! You’re missing out on nothing.

This is an opportunity for you to experience a full and satisfying life in the real world. So many books to read, pictures to draw, stories to write, clothes to make, workouts to do, daydreams to have, in-person visits to make, albums to listen to, recipes to try, at-home spa days to have, miniature sets to build, candles to make, DIYs to try, journaling to do, repairs to complete, bedrooms to redecorate, local places to visit, and time with family to share. Can all of this be done while also spending time on social media? Yes of course. But many times, we don’t do it because that time gets stolen from us with nothing to show for it.

Just bc these accounts exist doesn’t mean you have to use them. They’re not going anywhere. A few months off will do you so much good.

Heaven Sent - Chapter 2

Everyone is so so sad that an angel came and yelled at them, it's giant cuddlepile time.

Full Series

A harem of near-500 succubi is actually more manageable than one might expect, all things considered.

Lilith can't be everywhere at once, but she doesn't need to be- all her darlings can sense her, feel her love for them whenever they want. They know she cares more for them than anything else in all of existence.

And they're all more than happy to share. She tries to get some good one-on-one time with one or two a day if she's not busy; but spending time with groups, sleeping in cuddly piles of her loves- it's not very difficult for anyone who wants to be close to her to do so.

Even when it is, she's not the sole object of their affections. Her girls are happy to fraternize amongst themselves most days, some might even love eachother more than they love her! It's wonderful. Everyone is happy, nobody feels left out or neglected, life in her palace is smooth and comfortable.

Most of the time.

Most of the time, Lilith doesn't fuck herself up wrestling an angel instead of waiting a couple minutes for Lucy to handle it.

Most of the time, she doesn't have to manage four hundred and eighty-four succubi who are all worried sick and want to see her and dote on her and cuddle her and be reassured by her, specifically, right now, or they're going to wallow in their misery.

And they are wallowing. She can feel it, the deep funk that has settled into her palace like a heavy fog. There's no fooling around, or cavorting, or even coquettishness. Nobody's gone out on a summon since the angel fell.

It simply will not do.

Days of recovery in the lava spas and dozens of gifted souls from her worried darlings have her feeling almost back to normal. She probably shouldn't push herself too hard, but- Well, surely just a little couldn't hurt.

She rises from her woefully empty bed and stalks silently to her door, opening it to reveal a gaggle of succubi trying very hard not to seem like they're snooping on her.

"Mistress! Um-"

"Were you sleeping in there Mistress? I had no idea-"

"MISTRESSSSSSSSS ARE YOU OKAY DO YOU NEED ANYTHING I LOVE YOU-"

She draws the last to speak into a hug, and the others join in hesitantly when they see she isn't wincing at being touched anymore.

"I'm okay, Qintora, thank you." She says, and the demoness squeezes her tighter and chokes back a sob. "Girls, spread the word: Mistress is starting to feel better, and wants to spend some time with all her darlings. Everyone should gather at the orgy chamber for cuddles tonight. Got it?"

The succubi nod eagerly and scamper off to pass along the invitation. Lilith stretches languidly, and sets off to prepare for the night. As long as she takes it slow, her body should be able to handle it.

~

Lilith lounges in a pile of cushions as her concubines filter into the orgy chamber, all looking excited but nervous.

Her tail snakes down out of the pile, coils on and on and on until it reaches another lounging place, connects to another Lilith resting atop it.

And another, and another, and another- she numbers almost fifty of herself in all, connected together by a web of tails interwoven across the chamber floor.

Grezayla looks predictably bewildered as she sees them, still too new to have seen her flaunt this particular show of shapeshifting prowess before.

Everyone else, however, recognizes that this is rather subdued.

When Lilith's at her best, when she's using the orgy chamber for its intended function, she can usually manage at least one of herself for each of her darlings to play with. Essentially mindless ones, granted- driven by pure primordial appetites to rut and claim and devour- but still. Her transformations feel sluggish, difficult. If she ever sees that angel again, she'll make sure it regrets it.

But now is not the time for grumbling about infernal vengeance. Her girls are joining her, piling in to be close with each of her bodies. She has to focus, make sure that she can be a proper, doting mistress; fifty times over, simultaneously. This is their night, and she's going to make sure that each of them comes out of it free of any more worries.

"Mistress, you're- How are you- There's so many of you?" Says Grezayla, as she cozies up to one of her.

"Thank fuck you're okay Mistress, I was so worried when I heard you fought the angel." Mumbles Tinixi, burying her face in another's shoulder.

"Mistress it was so scary, it made me think all these bad things about myself…" Sniffles Zrixira, curling herself around another's arm.

"A trifle, while I'm still resting. I'll show you just how many of me there can be, once I'm recovered." She says. "You can learn it too, it's just very difficult. We had five Azzies once, but they were all rather uncoordinated."

"I'm okay, Tini. Everyone is okay, thanks to you. My good girl…"

"Mistress, we all missed you so much!" Whines Jaentia, hugging one of her midsections tightly. "Never get hurt again, okay?"

"I know, Zrixi. Don't even think about what it made you think, it's nonsense."

"If any more angels show up we all agreed we're gonna beat their asses!" Says Vylona, pumping her fists resolutely.

"Do you need more souls, Mistress?" Asks Aezorim, eyes full of worry. "We can get more!"

"Ah- Vy- wait. Jaentia, darling, I'll try. Don't worry about me."

"Vylona do not under any circumstances do that. Call me and Lucy. Aezorim, I don't-"

"MISSSTREEEESSSSSSSSS-" Sobs Qintora, clinging to one of her heads.

"Aezorim, I don't need more souls, thank you, you've all been very kind. I'm feeling practically good as new." Lilith says, squinting and blinking rapidly to clear her heads.

"Mistress it tried to make me think I was wrong to come down here-"

"I was so scared when we couldn't find you after-"

"Dearests, I-" Lilith grunts, through gritted teeth. Her heads pound, trying to hold all these conversations at once.

"The angel said I was-"

"And we couldn't see you-"

"Are you sure you're-"

"Darlings!" She snaps with all her mouths, as several of her cradle her heads. "I… Just, slower, okay? I can't… We have all the time in the world to talk, just, please slower."

Dozens of her succubi begin bawling, worried that she's still hurt and they made it worse.

"No, dearests, oh no don't cry-" She coos as she tries to comfort them all.

~

Days pass in there, slowly working through everyone's worries until they're all relaxed and drift into sleep. Lilith feels better too, having done so. Not perfect, but close enough to it. Feeling that her darlings are calm and happy is good for her vile heart.

Lucy appears in the center of the chamber, wings gently carrying her over the mass of tails.

"Lilith."

"Lucy." Lilith says, gently shifting one of herself to sit up without disturbing her sleeping succubi. "What is it?"

"You seem well." Lucy says, peering over the room. "Will you all be returning to work now?"

"I think so."

"Good, good." She says, as if her mind is elsewhere. "I have something I'd like to put under your purview, if you're up for it."

"Of course." Lilith says, further extracting herself to stand with Lucy.

"The angel-"

"No." She immediately interrupts, and Lucy sighs.

"Hear me out-"

"No! Not a chance! Lucy, you saw what it did-"

"Lilith. I would not do this without cause." Lucy states flatly, and Lilith frowns but holds her tongue.

"It insists it hasn't fallen, that this is all a test."

"It can insist whatever the fuck it wants, you can sense it as well as I can."

"I can." She says, nodding. "It fell to your circle for a reason, Lilith. These things don't just happen, maybe you can-"

"We're the highest circle. Maybe it got stuck."

"Lilith." Says Lucy sternly, and she huffs. "I'm not telling you to be its best friend. But I know exactly how much it hurts to fall, and you know better than most. It needs someone to help it acclimatize, accept that it can be happy here. Just- try to figure out what it wants, okay?"

"…It had better fucking behave." Lilith grumbles.

"It will."

"I mean it."

"It will." Lucy insists. "Tell me when you're ready, I'll bring it by."

And with that she vanishes, and Lilith snuggles the body that had been speaking with her back into the loving embrace of the succubi surrounding it, clutches just a little tighter with all of her arms.

[devotion-disorder]

HI OMG now that i have ur attention (kinda) w the last ask about dol can i just say that ur blog is one of my favs FR FR!! your artstyle is perfect i wish i was U!!!! smooch smooch smooch chuu chuu chuu x1000000000 chuus i hope you have the best day of ur life everyday!! and that little kylar chibi is so cute :3 in the time that i’ve sent that ask he has since kidnapped me!! <33 i ignored him the entire time though bc why would he do that!! (he’s cute but i can’t let him get out of hand) and i escaped dw :3

okay and note about dol; UR SO RIGHT i love the grind of getting money it’s so rewarding!! i’ve became a little sexy spa girl to entice customers into givang me monay…. ohohoho. but now idk what to do with all of it, what do you spend money on other than baileys weekly payments?? i avoid giving them money HEHE ( but i do pay them once a month though so robin doesn’t get shanked))

love u love u great artist and author and everything!! multitalented starshine!! + + + + + Love

also. what’s Hades… ahaha… ur my game plug

omg anon you are being too nice what the FAWK....im jus your game plug.............asudhaiudhawiudawhiad😭😭😭😭 <- im morphin into this emoji in real time. sentencing you to ten thousand smooches NOW

i also loved to grind for cash in dol LOL but it was mostly just for the millionaire vrelcoin achievement. because theres nothing i love more than meaningless achievements in viddy games😔then once i got it i just spend it on literally anything because money just becomes a non-factor lol

but also thanks for giving me an excuse to talk about Hades. you will regret this. under the cut cause da post is long:

Hades is an indie roguelite game released a couple years ago! and literally I cannot find a single bad thing to say about this game im being serious rn. The storyline? Fucks. The music? Fucks. The art? Fucks. The characters? I need to fuck everyone so bad. The gameplay? I've never been more addicted to dying. and this game is fully voice acted like WHAT?????

In the game you play as Zagreus, son of Hades, and youre trying to escape from your house because you hate your dad and also to find your mom. but theres also tons of other characters with their own sub-plotlines AND there's a dating mechanic. there's honestly so much goddang content and the writing + voice-acting is totally solid!!

i'm not much of a Gamer™ myself and im usually pretty shit (or mediocre at BEST) in action-heavy games, but even i found hades to be super enjoyable :oo it did took some getting used to in the beginning, but after getting the hang of it and because of the game's natural progression it does get significantly easier. I think the game is really well-balanced, and no matter what weapon or boon you use its still really fun.

if i remember correctly back when the trailer dropped it caused quite a stir on twitter/tumblr because it looked so good. And guess what!! they're making HADES 2 BABEY!!! but that comes out in early access next year i think.

so yeah. check it out if you want! or maybe later if you have finals. because I will admit that sometimes.....when i couldve been drawing or doing something productive. i was not. because i was playing hades. so um. sorry guys.

(just another day for them huehe)

***

Ghirahim: Well, remember when Mordecai made a romantic dinner for me? 

Once-Ler: Ghirahim, he microwaved you a pizza.

***

Bill: A decision had to be made. 

Mordecai: And you fucked it up!

***

DT: Oh, to be a bored heir to the throne who keeps rejecting marriage proposals due to being secretly in love with the cute gardener. 

Mordecai: Oh, to be a cute gardener who secretly places roses in the heir’s room because they are in love with them. 

Once-Ler: Oh, to be the palace guard who discreetly helps to boost the cute gardener up the wall for their secret deliveries in the middle of the night. 

Alastor: Oh, to be the heir’s best friend witnessing the two fools dance around each other while knowing damn well that the two like each other. 

Ghirahim: Oh, to be the noble suitor from another royal family who comes to know of their love instantly and plans an entire plan to get them their happy ending. 

Bill: Oh, to be a medieval peasant who knows nothing about the heir’s personal life and who dies of dysentery at age 23.

***

Ghirahim: Talk dirty to me~ 

Mordecai: Inflation is a serious problem and lumber prices are at a high. 

Ghirahim: Wha- 

Mordecai: The economy is in shambles.

***

DT: It's pretty cold outside.. wanna hold hands? We should stay close. 

Alastor, blushing: Okay. 

Mordecai: It's fucking summer.

***

Ghirahim: Why do you not believe that ghosts are real? 

DT: Never seen one. 

Ghirahim: Okay, I mean, there’s a lot of things that you can’t see that are real. 

DT: What can’t I see? 

Ghirahim: You can’t see gravity. That’s real. 

DT: Yeah, I can drop an apple. 

Ghirahim: Fuck.

(average drunken conversation between these two)

***

Mordecai: I love you. 

Ghirahim: Me too.

***

Ghirahim: Uptown Funk would've made it into the Shrek Soundtrack. 

Once-Ler: That's the truest statement I've ever heard.

***

Bill, bursting into the room: You two are having sex! 

Mordecai, not looking up from their book: Really? Ghirahim, why didn’t you tell me? I would have put my book down.

***

Bill, gardening: Hey, can you bring me the hoe? 

Once-Ler: Yeah, sure. 

*A few minutes later* 

Once-Ler: Here you go. 

Bill: 

Once-Ler: 

Ghirahim: Why am I here?

***

Mordecai: Wow, they really hate us. 

Ghirahim: Yes, perhaps they’re homophobic. 

Mordecai: But we’re not gay, Ghirahim. 

Ghirahim: 

Mordecai: 

Ghirahim: We’re not?

***

DT: If I ever had a child, I imagine they would be a lot like you. 

Alastor: Aww, thanks— 

DT: Which is probably why I’ve never reproduced.

***

Ghirahim: Let’s watch Sharkboy and Lavagirl. 

Mordecai: Okay. 

Ghirahim: And make out during the scary parts. 

Mordecai: Th- 

Mordecai: The scary parts. 

 Mordecai: Of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

***

Bill: Ah shit, I forgot. 

Once-Ler: Forgot what? 

Bill: How do you expect me to answer that?

Rather Die Chapter 21

Masterlist

——————————————

Christmas Morning

Victoria woke up to the smell of breakfast being made in the kitchen. Austin & Evelyn are currently frying up ham & making eggs. Evelyn seems to really be getting along with Austin, which makes Vic happy since that is the grandmother to Violet.

"Good morning, Vic." Austin smiles. "Merry Christmas."

"Good morning, Merry Christmas." she smiles back.

Austin walks up to her & talks quietly, "I was thinking we could tell everyone the baby's name during breakfast."

"Yeah, definitely." Victoria agrees happily.

"Merry Christmas, sweetheart!" Evelyn says coming behind Vic to give her a hug.

"Merry Christmas, mom!" she smiles. "Breakfast looks amazing. I had no idea you planning to do all this."

"Austin asked me last night if I'd help him. He wanted to surprise you."

"Oh?" she raises an eyebrow at Austin. "Did you now?"

"I did." Austin smiles & blushes a bit.

"That's really sweet of you, Aus."

"You deserve it, Vic. You did so much yesterday. You deserve to just rest and chill out today."

"Thank you. I appreciate it." Vic smiles again.

Once breakfast was ready, everyone sat down at the table to eat.

Austin speaks up, "So um, I have some news. Julie & I have made it official! We are now boyfriend & girlfriend. I asked her this morning with the necklace I got for her with my birthstone."

Every one was congratulating them & seemed genuinely happy except for Victoria.

She put on a fake smile as her heart sank when she heard the news, even though she saw it coming any day now.

"Vic & I also have some news..." Austin says, getting Victoria's attention, dragging her away from her thoughts. "Vic, wanna share the news?"

"So, we have decided on a name for baby girl. Her name is Violet Lorraine."

Austin's sister Ashley immediately started tearing up at hearing her middle name.

"Austin, is Lorraine after mom?" Ashley asks.

"Yeah, it is." Austin smiles.

"That's so beautiful, Austin. I love it." she says. "Mom would love it."

"Thank you." Austin starts to get teary eyed himself.

David speaks up, "Your mom would be so proud & so honored, son."

"Thanks dad." Austin replies.

After breakfast, everyone gathered in the living room to open presents as Home Alone played in the background.

Lots of gifts being exchanged, a lot from Austin as he loves to give & tends to over buy.

Vic opens her first gift from him which is a gift certificate to a local spa.

"Oooo this is so nice, Aus. Thank you."

"You're welcome." he replies. "This place has special messages for pregnant women, and you're always complaining about being sore so it should help. There should be enough on there for a facial & to get your nails done too."

"That sounds so amazing. I will be booking an appointment ASAP."

Mila opened up a gift from Austin next which was a gift certificate to the same spa.

"Ooo Vic! Girls day!" Mila says showing Vic the gift certificate.

"Ooo yes, definitely!" Victoria replies.

As they continue opening gifts, Austin & Ashley both open a gift from Victoria. She had gotten a drawing commissioned of them & with their mom. The siblings both started tearing up.

"Wow...this is um...beautiful." Austin says speechless. "Where did you even get this picture?"

"Your dad may have helped me with that." Vic looks over to David who is looking at her.

"This is so sweet. Thank you so much, Victoria." Ashley says getting up from her seat to give Vic a hug.

"You're very welcome." Vic replies, hugging back.

"Thanks, Vic. This means a lot." Austin says.

"You're so welcome, Aus. I'm glad you love it."

They continued opening presents until everything was unwrapped.

They also went through their stockings which was full of their favorite candies, travel size items, lottery scratch offs, little random things that they'd like, for example, Austin got guitar picks since he plays guitar. There was also beauty items for the women.

After a while, Austin's family said their goodbyes & headed home. Austin said his 'see you later's' before leaving to go to Juliette's parents house.

About a couple hours after Austin had left, he had texted Mila saying he forgot one of Vic's gifts in his closet and asked for her to give it to Vic just incase he didn't see her when he got home.

Mila grabbed a little velvet box out of one Austin's drawers in his closet & went back out to the living room where everyone was now watching The Santa Claus.

"Vic, Austin asked for me to grab this from his room for you. He wanted to make sure you had it today just incase you're in bed by the time he gets home." Mila says as she hands her the box.

Vic takes it from her, confused as to what it could be.

"Oh my gosh...he remembered..." Vic says shocked as she sees what's in the box.

"What is it, sweetie?" Evelyn asks.

"It was months ago. Austin & I had some time to kill before our doctors appointment. We had walked down to Starbucks to get something to drink, and on our way back we walked passed this antique store that had this Tiffany's pearl necklace and earring set in window on display & it was the exact set that-

"Your dad had gotten you for your fifteenth birthday before he passed, and you had lost it in the move..." Evelyn says cutting her off.

"Yes." Victoria says on the verge of tears. "We were running out of time to stop in there, and then completely forgot to go in afterwards because we were too distracted from seeing Violet on the ultrasound. Whenever we would be over there after that, the store was closed. But I guess he managed to go on his own to get it for me. I can't believe he remembered it, and how much I wanted it." she wipes away tears that are streaming down her cheeks.

Victoria feels herself adding on more love for Austin to the love she already has that she continues to try and suppress.

"That is the sweetest thing." Evelyn says. "He really loves you, huh?"

"What?" Vic asks getting caught off guard. "Noo. It's not like that, mom. He just loves me in a friend & the mother of his child kinda way."

"But this was months ago, right? He probably got it before he met Julie." Mila says.

"Juliette." Victoria corrects her.

"Whatever. He definitely did love you to do that."

"Emphasis on the 'did'. He's with Juliette now. It's not like that now."

"Honestly, you didn't hear this from me but, I think it's always like that with him now. I don't think this man will ever stop loving you in that romantic way." Mila says.

"You think?"

"Mhm. I just feel it."

"I hope you're wrong, Mila. I don't think it'll ever happen for us."

"Don't be so sure." Mila raises an eyebrow with a smirk. "I'm rarely wrong about these things. Also got the thought, what if Eliana stole your necklace from you? The one you lost?"

"You know what, she totally could have. I did catch her rummaging through my jewelry box once. She claimed she was looking for something I borrowed from her, which I never did. A pair of earrings were missing after that and she played it off like she hadn't seen them. That bitch." Vic says.

"Yeah, she probably did then." Mila replies.

Evelyn says, "It's sad how horrible of a person she turned out to be. But honestly not surprised. Her parents were always so snooty to us whenever they visited New Zealand."

"Her mom especially." Victoria adds.

Some time has passed. Everyone has gone to bed for the night except for Victoria. She waited up for Austin.

He finally walked through the door a little after 11pm.

"Hey, Vic. You're still up?" Austin asks, seeing her from the kitchen as he puts food away in the fridge he was sent home with from Juliette's mom.

"Yeah. I was waiting for you actually." she replies as she stuffs Sour Patch Watermelons into her mouth. AKA, her current pregnancy craving.

"Oh, you were?" he walks into the living room and sits down next to her on the couch.

"Yeah. I wanted to thank you in person for the necklace set, so thank you, Austin. You really didn't have to do that. It must have cost you a fortune."

"Oh, you're welcome. It's nothing."

"It's not nothing, Aus. It's everything. It's absolutely perfect & something I don't deserve."

"What do you mean you don't deserve it? You absolutely do." he grabs her hand in reassurance.

"I don't deserve it. Not after the way I treated you."

"I don't care about that anymore. You absolutely deserve it. After the shit I put you through, the shit Eliana put you through. The way you wanted this so bad because it was something your dad had gotten you that you lost. You need this."

"You're one of the sweetest people I have ever met, you know that?" Vic says starting to sob. "I'm sorry I ever treated you like you weren't."

"It's okay. I'm sorry for the way I treated you. That was something you didn't deserve."

"It's fine. You still piss me off and annoy me sometimes though." she chuckles.

"I can say the same about you, Vic." Austin laughs.

"How was meeting her parents?" she asked.

"It was good. They were really nice. Her dad was kinda scary & weary of me at first but he warmed up to me."

"That's good."

"Yeah. They got me a gift card to Barnes & Noble." he chuckles. "They figured I'd like it since I obviously shop there."

"Right, because you met Juliette there."

"Yeah." he laughs, stealing a piece of candy from her.

"Hey! Those are mine!" she snatches the bag out of her lap. "See, you're being annoying."

"What? You can't give up just one? It's Christmas!"

"No, I need these things to survive right now."

"You're so dramatic."

"I am an actress." she jokes.

"Oh speaking of, I don't remember if I told you. My publicist is already working with yours on getting us interviews for the movie. The trailer drops next week and then the movie is dropping in April."

"April?" she raises an eyebrow. "When in April?"

"Late April I think, but the premier is early April."

"And I'm due the 16th. Great. I hope we'll be able to make it to the premier."

"I'm sure it'll be fine. If we miss it, then oh well."

"I'd rather not, you know? It's my first movie."

"I know, I know. But whatever happens, it'll all work out."

"I know." she sighs.

"We should get to bed. It's been a long day."

"We should. Help me get up?"

"Of course."

Austin gets up and grabs onto her hands and pulls her up.

"Thank you. I'm only 5 months and it's already hard for me to get up sometimes."

"Well, the depth of the couch doesn't help."

"It really doesn't. And hey, thanks again." she smiles.

"You're very welcome." he pulls her into a big hug.

When he breaks away, he drops down to her belly and gives it a kiss. "Goodnight, Violet."

He stands back up, "Goodnight, Vic." he says, looking into her eyes with a quick glance at her lips.

"Goodnight, Aus." she notices the glance at his lips and holds herself back from kissing him.

They turn everything off and head to their bedrooms.

They shut their doors behind them & lean their backs against them, sighing.

Austin thinks, "No. You're in love with Julie, not Vic."

Victoria thinks, "Girl no. We're not doing this again. You are in love with Ash, not Aus."

They take a deep breath, tell themselves everything is fine, and head off to bed.

Hello everyone!

I haven’t posted many music updates here recently because I have just been forgetting to use tumblr as one of my platforms (even though tumblr is probably the one I’ve had the most growth on out of any of them cause of how long I’ve been here). However, although it’s two years too late I wanted to have a talk in depth about my latest E.P because one thing I love about this place is how I can talk in depth about what I’ve made more than I can anywhere else. I did it for the last E.P, now it’s time to talk about this one.

Last week, I got word from one of my friends that my music was no longer on Spotify so they could listen to it and it made me realise I’d forgotten to pay my Distrokid bill. So when I sorted it out and fixed all issues with accessibility I decided to take a trip down memory lane and have a listen for the first time in a while.

Unlike Made With Blingee which was one impulsive idea I came up with in 2018 that I rushed to finish within that year, leaving it a perfect time capsule of my scene days - Thing Is Me is not a snapshot of one year, but a snapshot of evolution from 2019-2022. While I was making it I changed a lot as a person, but also with the help of my collaborators the songs changed too until they settled to where they are now.

The oldest song on this E.P was Lola Bunny, the first inklings of it were born in late 2018 but it came to life in the way you know it in 2019. Lola Bunny was supposed to be just my voice and an acoustic guitar when I first began brainstorming it. It was fresh in my mind after I found out a boy in school who I thought I liked was taken. (It was one year before I learned I was a lesbian). In hindsight I wasn’t really in love with him, I just liked the idea that he could’ve been my only shot at love. My dating pool at school was small, the few people I pursued had found someone else, were straight, or were repulsed by me. I couldn’t go on dating apps or look for people outside of school at clubs or concerts. It was either school or the fandom circles on the internet, and I was sick of E-Dating people from completely different countries. When I found out that boy was taken, it’s a miracle that I didn’t lose hope that I’d ever be loved at all. Instead I thought I’d just never have a high school romance like the movies promised. (spoiler alert: I was wrong). In 2019 when I revisited Lola Bunny I got into shoegaze and realised the song would sound even better as a crushing wall of sound akin to Cocteau Twins, Ride or MBV. Me and my cousin recorded it together in 2020, the rest is history.

The second oldest song is The Hotel Song. In late 2018 I went to a friend’s birthday party and another traumatic incident involving two of my bullies happened. They taunted me and in a fit of pent up rage I confronted them about everything they did to me. They denied it all, called me delusional, and laughed in my face as I broke down on the side of the road outside my friend’s house. I was already traumatised but that sent me to a low point I believed I’d never recover from. The only place I remotely felt safe in afterwards was my bedroom and I coped with the intense depression and anxiety by drawing, eating two minute noodles for every meal of the day, and listening to the same queue of songs on repeat. One night I fell into a deep sleep and had a dream about going to a hotel with my friends and meeting one of the bullies from the incident there by accident. My friends invited her to go to the spa pool with us. Despite my initial hesitation, the time we all had together was pleasant, almost innocent, and I didn’t get hurt again. Later as we dried off, I got an apology from her for everything she did to me. Just as I forgave her I woke up thinking about how everyone has the capability to change for the better at the drop of a hat. As the next year rolled around the dream was still something I thought about a lot, so I decided to make it a song. I was getting into The Moldy Peaches, Neutral Milk Hotel and other weird folky stuff. I felt like the more oddball lyrics due to them coming from a dream suited that sound so I had that in mind as I put it together. I arranged to make it with a wonderful family friend. It was the only song he fully contributed to before I switched to working with my cousin, but he was really important and taught me a lot of great things. I’m very proud of what came out.

The third oldest song is from way into 2019. I was getting better. I had a great network of friends now who gave me the safety net I needed to recover, I’d gone on a long road-trip that made me see beauty in the world, I was getting into new music and other new interests and those new things kept me calm. I still had outbursts of anxiety from time to time though. One of the bullies from the party still scared me to death. I was growing stronger in all other areas of my life, but the looming fear that he could hurt me again was the only thing holding me back from completely recovering. At that time all I wanted was a resolution, ideally an apology but I was just coming to terms with accepting that he wouldn’t ever do that based on how he acted the last time I saw him. I wrote Post Mental about finding that acceptance. Learning to recover in spite of him. In this song I go through all the history we shared, then at the end I let him go. Like The Hotel Song, Post Mental has a lot of the same influences I discussed earlier but with an added flavour of Sufjan Stevens in there. My favourite part of recording this with my cousin was towards the end when we decided to become a two person choir. We did all kinds of things with our voices to make that part special and it was incredibly cathartic for me.

Post Mental Reprise came a few years later in mid 2021. A lot had changed since then, the most shocking thing of them all though was that the bully in question I wrote part 1 about finally did apologise to me! He’d grown up a lot since the incident, realised the friends who made him act the way he did weren’t good people, found better friends, and then apologised to everyone. Including me! We’re not friends now but we are civil. My cousin suggested the E.P should get rounded out with a part 2 to Post Mental, so that’s what we did! I acknowledged the positive change in the lyrics, and we decided to give this ending a 60s pop inspired sound with a Lo-fi twist.

Finally, the E.P’s youngest song is A New Sunshine. This is a breakup song, but probably the sweetest breakup song you’ll ever hear. I’d been in a relationship that was not perfect, but definitely meaningful for about a year and a half. In early 2021 I realised things were coming to an end as the two of us started University. The flaws in our relationship that we could handle in high school were more difficult to deal with as new young adults, so we calmly broke it off and remained friends. They are one of my best friends to this day and they even came to the listening party for this E.P while cracking a few jokes when this song came on about how they knew it was about them. I wrote this song the exact day we broke up. It definitely got a few tweaks as I started making it come to life though. In this song I talk about my excitement in moving on, not just from that relationship, but in my life in general now that I was fresh out of school. Kissing off the last of my teenage blues this E.P was tying up the loose ends of. For this songs influences I blended the shoegaze/dream pop influences from Lola Bunny and the alt-folk of the other songs and came up with something akin to Angel Olsen’s first album or Linger by The Cranberries. This song along with the first part of Post Mental took probably the longest to perfect, but it was a true labour of love that I’m glad finally came together eventually. Especially thanks to me and my cousin’s good friend Carson who gave us the twangy guitar solo towards the song’s end that I had envisioned in my mind but definitely couldn’t play.

I hope you enjoy the deeper insights into each Thing Is Me song and you enjoy the music if you haven’t already listened yet. Keep giving it love, and lemme know what you think :3 thank you ily

Dating HC's with Daniel and Nostre

This idea came to me when I was about to sleep, got out of bed to write it down so I wouldn't forget it in the morning (⁠ー⁠_⁠ー⁠゛⁠)

Had my ass looking like this:

I was listening to the live stream that came out like, 8 months ago

And like the part where Part just says while drawing Bubo "You think he gets bitches?" And I absolutely lost it

Reader will be gender neutral

This is really my opinion on what it would be like to have a relationship with them, so please don't get mad at me

-----

Cuddle sessions are a MUST when it comes to sleeping together or whenever you guys wanna relax

Just a pile of limbs as y'all huddle together, especially in the winter

I can imagine Nostre being somewhat touch-starved, and his love language being physical touch

So a cuddle session would be a regular thing for you three

For some reason, I can imagine Daniel being somewhat of a menace in the shared kitchen

Because he has butterfingers, and he was able to break a spoon along with several plastic bowls, with multiple bowls, plates, and cups to add on (projecting myself onto Daniel a small bit)

If you have a favorite mug/cup/plate/bowl, don't let Daniel anywhere near it

So he's banned from the kitchen, and if he wants to get something to eat like a snack, or make something small, someone has to be there to supervise him

"C'mon, I'm an adult, not 10! I only like, broke one bowl!"

"Daniel you broke 4 plastic bowls in 3 hours. How do you manage that??"

"You have to be Daniel to somehow do that."

He's pouty about it, but he understands

Nostre, I feel like he's an amazing cook

But like he doesn't have the time or the energy to do so

But when he does, BOOM taste buds are in heaven

Nothing will taste the same no more, his cooking will absolutely ruin how everything else tastes

Activities or date ideas would probably just be either staying inside or karaoke night

Activities inside would be either finding a new recipe, watching a bad movie/show just to make fun of it, cuddling, taking a relaxing spa day at home, or just sleeping in.

It's a rare occurrence when you guys do outside activities, as it's LA and everyone is everywhere

Walk into a place that's near a popular area? Packed

Going out for a walk near a famous mural? A whole ass line at 8 in the morning just to take a goddamn selfie

So you guys usually stick to karaoke most of the times

Now pets

Nostre I feel would always be the one to bring a stray animal home, it just seems to fit his character, and Daniel too

"Nostre, why's your coat moving?"

"Ah, just some, uh.. paperwork?"

They are both trying to hide the stray's that they both bring home from you

*meowing coming from the coat*

"...please don't tell Y/N."

"Never dreamed of it!"

When you do find them however, they always convince you to let them keep them

But when it kinda gets out of hand, you have to put your foot down

They are both devastated, but they understand

I feel as if their music taste vary at times

Nostre would probably be the kind to listen more to indie songs/folk, and maybe a small bit of jazz, blues, and pop at times

Daniel, very influenced by pop music, glam rock, indie rock, punk rock, and jazz

Honestly I can see him being very open to all music genres, expect for country

He has a disliking for country and he doesn't know why

Thinking of Best friend turning yandere...

But honestly, they see how the other people around you are treating you. They have been your best friend for years now! Someone else comes along and tries to take their place next to you. The little pest is just using you!

Bestie makes it seem like the other person dropped you out of nowhere for no reason. Constantly threatening any newcomers that you bring up in casual conversation.

Oh! You... like someone? That's... good to know, no [redacted] I'm fine really! Bestie pointing out all the flaws in your relationship or crush anytime you ask for advice. Always telling you that a s/o would treat you better than they would. Even though they never could come close, you're my best friend after all.

Bestie coming over to your house to spend some time with you. Your family always want them over for the holidays. They take pride in getting on your families good graces. Their so called partner can't even greet the family properly... how pathetic.

Omegaverse AU for TSWE

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Omegas- Dominic, Thiago

Alphas- Alun, Izacc

Beta- Reader

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dominic Finch

Domi would be all over you for cuddles, pushing you to the nest he made with your blankets and pillows. Always growling when you get up to go to the washroom. Biting and marking your shoulders, neck, and chest. Of course with you being a beta it never stays longer than a week. His unbearable heats are a nightmare to everyone around him. Clinging to you, using you as a pillow or making you use him as a pillow. It's hard to say no to those puppy dog eyes.

While Domi has you Alun and Zacc are outside the locked door trying to bust it open to get to you. However, you know what Dominic is doing and why he's doing it. He's an omega, and he sees you as his mate. So please won't you let him mark you some more! NO! Don't leave the safe nest stay here! He'll dress you up in pretty clothing and you can have a spa day right where you are laying! Order servants to get food and water, no use waste energy for such a mundane thing!

Alun Prothro

Alun, as alpha as they come always trying to impress you with his strength and sharp skills. Guarding you all the time, he takes precautions to his... alpha-ness... such as taking hormone suppressants for when his rut comes. He can not leave you to fend off these rapid animals you call concubines! That would be the opposite of protecting you. Who needs ruts when he has to protect you the most important person in the world.

He has no mate nor does he want one. They'd take time away from making sure you're safe and healthy. His hypothetical mate is more trouble than dealing with the side effects.  It would put you in more danger! His mate would get jealous of you and try to cause harm to you! NO! He won't allow that to happen. Not again. He is going to protect you til the day he draws his last breath, and then protect you form the afterlife. A very sweet and protective Alpha that isn't bothered with romantics.

Izacc Rinefern

Zacc is an alpha that hides his violent tendencies when he knows you're around him. However as soon as you are out of hearing range threats that were once thoughts are now promises to the people who have gotten to close for his comfort. You're just a naive beta, you don't know the dangers of the alphas and omegas that surround you. Omega's are known for being manipulative especially that mutt, Finch. Alpha's could over power you at any moment, little comfort he feels when an alpha (Alun) is to watch over you 24/7. Zacc does background checks on every knight or guard that tries to join the imperial rankings. 

Zacc has more intellectual strength than physical strength, lost a bit of muscle after becoming your concubine and being pampered. He uses his wit and sharp tongue to cut down anyone who thinks is worthy of even a glance at you. Still gets called to the war rooms and council meetings with the generals of the armies under you. Zacc uses his strategic skill to impress you and gain your affection. Please just let him scent you! Let him chase off that mutt and stay by your side instead. You don't need to pamper Finch, if you really wanted to pamper someone he'd be willing to act like an omega and let you pamper him and dress him up. It's not alpha like to think like that but he doesn't care about what others think. Just you, only you. Please just let him scent you! Mark you! He begs of it.

Thiago Amos

Thiago is an omega, but you don't know that, you don't need to know that. He'll play beta to get closer to you, wants to bond over you two being the only "betas" around. Tell him all of your troubles with all the alpha's and omega, (so he can know what not to do of course). Thiago comes to your room with no problem. You trust him, don't believe what the others say! Does he act like an omega or an alpha? No! He's a beta just like you please continue being close and trusting him more than them.

Hides his heat by saying he needs to report to his father that he is well. Zacc and Domi don't like him and how smart he is about hiding his second gender.

I didn't know if the people in the taglist wanted to be tagged for all of the TSWE content or just the main story.

Taglist : @zanary @meforpr3sident @yandere-dark-cupid @devils-blackrose @gallantys @eliciana

The Strong Willed Empress

Chapter 3 "Cats and Dogs"

Tw; Yandere tendencies, manipulation, future NSFW, gore, toxic relationships, and other things like this.

Part 1

Part 2

The two men glared at each other as they locked eyes. Dominic held a slight growl to his voice. “You, me, Courtyard, when the sun is at its highest.” Dominic walked away, not waiting for a reply. Izacc stood there still glaring at him, ‘Mutt, this is your fault. Not mine. But very well, whomever wins gets the empress to himself.’ He stalked off to his own room. 

Alun walked away from the corner when he heard the men go into their rooms. Thankfully, the concubines didn’t stall any longer than they had. Of course, he had heard the threating tones and razor sharp words that were being shared between the two men, however… the empress doesn’t have to know just yet. Dominic and Izacc need to be taught a lesson, after all.

Dominic was in the Courtyard before the sun was at its peak, hoping that he could plan to win in peace. When the idea of tripping him came to mind, he picked up some random objects that were laid across the courtyard after a training session with the top guards. It was a hot, humid, horrid day. Sweat was dripping off of him as if he were a leaking water pump.

Dominic’s fingers touched the metal piece of equipment to move it. The heat made it unbearable to touch, burning his hand. But this is more than fine. A little heat is just what he needed to get his blood pumping. Izacc entered through the large, heavy doors opposite to where Dominic stood. Neither of the men were smiling. Domi goes to grab the sword laying on the ground. Zacc had his on his hip, always prepared to protect his empress.

The first clash of metal rang hard and shrill in Alun’s ear as he watched, curiously devious as the empress’ pets fought like cats and dogs down in the courtyard. He stood in watched, enjoying the breeze that floated near the balcony he was standing on, watching with little interest as blood spilled below him. 

After an hour of waiting for something interesting to happen between the two. Alun left to inform the empress on what he “stumbled upon” leaving out that he watched them for a while. He turned to leave and closed the door, still hearing the clashing of sword and shouting that the men were doing.

At a quick pace, he raced to the Empress’ room, where she sat drinking some herbal tea to calm herself from the letter she had received later that day. 

“Empress, Izacc and Dominic, they are in the courtyard!” Alun said, as he burst through the door. The Empress pulled the curtains away from her window. What she saw angered her. 

“Stop them. Bring them to the throne room.” She said it with such a cold tone, Alun shivered. The punishment must be great if you’re sending them to the throne room. Alun then walked away from her room. She was still looking out her window, seeing her beloved concubines fighting like rapid animals. She glanced at the letter she hadn’t finished writing.

“King Afonso Amos of Zandonia,

The offer you purposed would be beneficial to both of us. An alliance between two great monarchs. A wise decision on your part to offer it. Already better than over half of the allies I have.”

The Empress picked up the quill and the parchment and began to write.

“I accept the proposal between me and your son, Thiago Amos. He is to be my concubine in a week’s time.”

The Strong Willed Empress

Her Ruthless Tiger

Chapter 2

TW: Yandere tendencies, manipulation, future NSFW, gore, toxic relationships, and other things like this.

Part 1

“Your Majesty,

Greetings from the Kingdom of Zandonia. I, King Afonso Amos , wish to offer my son, Prince Thiago Amos, to you as a consort or concubine of your choosing. I offer you my son in exchange of peace and a treaty between us. A war not fought is the greatest kind. 

Long live the Empress- King Afonso Amos”

The Empress released a breath after reading through the letter at least 3 times. She wanted peace between the Kingdom of Zandonia and the Masal Empire. However, the concubines she already has would probably seek to destroy the prince if given the title of consort. The empress thought over her response carefully, for now she will leave this for when she comes back from seeing her other second concubine.

She looked up from the letter and saw Alun standing there holding back Dominic from running to her and ripping up the parchment in her hands. It was taking up all her attention, and he wanted all of her attention. Dominic already had to share with… him. The Empress took the paper and held it to the lit candle and let it burn to a crisp. Alun let go of the Main Concubine. Dominic instantly latched onto the empress’ dress in a desperate attempt to bring her close and make her focus on him.

“My empress!” Dominic cried as he saw her dress rippled as she turned. “You can’t leave me here! Shouldn’t you take care of me more? Besides, that guard can wait, after all, I love you the most between the two of us!” 

The Empress gently held his cheek with one hand as the other hand waved Alun away to get Izacc behind her back. With Dominic melting at her touch, he hadn’t noticed her dismiss Alun. She heard the grand door of her room close softly, alerting her that Alun had left. When she had finally taken her hand away from his nuzzling to run her fingers through her loyal hounds’ hair, did he notice Alun’s disappearance.

Dominic was rather thankful the oaf of a man had left. Just more time alone with his one and only empress, as it should be. Not long after Alun had left, Dominic heard quick footsteps approach the door. He already knew who it was. A large scowled formed on his face as they drew closer and closer. “Domi be-” The regal empress was cut off by the door slamming open. Izacc rushing in from his room two doors down. A loud growl was released from Dominic’s throat as he bared his teeth at the male.

“Empress… I didn’t realize a stray had gotten in,” Izacc sent a glare Dominic’s way, “want me to rid you of this diseased pest?” 

“Izacc. You know I detest the fighting between the people I cherish most.” The Empress said to the newly arrived male. That is not the nickname she gave him, that was his full name. He looked away from her, displeased with himself at how he acted in front of her. 

He stood straight and saluted, something he did when he was punishing himself by distancing himself from the empress when he had displeased her.

 “Is something the matter, my empress?” A formal question. One that was spoken with a tone a guard would use as respect to her.

“She burned a letter,” Dominic growled out, not wanting the two of them to interact with each other more than they already had. The Empress stopped running her fingers through Dominic’s hair and stood straight. She cleared her throat as he pouted at the loss of attention. 

“The King of Zandonia sent me a letter.” She walked over to her chestnut writing desk. “As a peace treaty, he wishes for me to have his son as a concubine. Seeing you two argue this often, it might be good to have a buffer other than Alun. He has a job other than making sure you don’t kill each other.” The empress fingers gently moved the pieces of paper to pick it up. Dominic and Izacc tensed up at her words.

 ‘A third?!’ They thought at the same time. The two of them can’t handle sharing you with just them! How would a third man help?! No, not a man, a worthless insect. She wrote with a quill and the ink jar next to the large pile of documents of trade. A response to the King, no doubt. 

The Empress stopped writing when the eyes that stared at her became too intense for her to think. She looked up at the two men. She could practically see the imaginary ears pop up at the attention she gave them. They looked hopeful, however if they are going to make things this uncomfortable she needs them out.

“Zacc, Domi, I need you to leave.” The empress now spoke in a strict tone, no room for argument. Both of the men glared at each other as they turned to leave. Blaming the other as the reason for making the empress want a third concubine.

A murderous look came across both of them as soon as they shut the door to their beloved empress bedroom.

The Strong-Willed Empress

Yandere Male Concubines x Empress Darling

Chapter 1 “Her Loyal Hound”

Requested by: @yandere-dark-cupid thank you for the idea!

TW: Yandere tendencies, manipulation, future NSFW, gore, toxic relationships, and other things like this.

     Dominic woke up to the empty bed of the Empress. The bed was still warm on her side, meaning she couldn’t have gone far. Dominic played with the blood red leather collar around his neck. The panic of not being able to see his empress makes him aggressive and on edge. He finally had the strength to get up off the silk bed sheets, his knees almost giving out on him. Last night was amazing! Of course it was! He spent it with his Empress! 

The thought of it making his mood so much better than before and walked to the bathroom door on the west side of the room. Dominic knocked on the door and stayed leaning against it for a while waiting for a response. 

“Yes, you can come in Domi.” The sweet, irresistible voice of his empress called out to him. Her nickname for him gave him shivers down his spine. He opened the door after the chills calmed down and the bumps on his tanned skin went away. The sight before him made his eyes wide and jaw drop. Drool leaked out of his mouth. There in all her beauty stood the Empress with a bathrobe on fresh out of the bath. 

The Empress looked at the reaction he had to seeing her in such atire, it amused her greatly. She let a small smile grace her beautiful face and Dominic practically melted. Knees growing weak and brain turning to mush, she smiled at him after all, which is already a rare occurrence. 

She walked past him with ease and elegance, headed for the walk-in closet next to the bathroom. Dominic followed her like a puppy following its master. A door shut in his face by the Empress herself, wanting to change without prying eyes. He felt hurt, but knew she likes the privacy she so rarely has. 

Suddenly the main door slammed open by a guard needing to speak to the empress about a letter that came from the Kingdom of Zandonia. Curious, Dominic went over to the guard to see what it said.

“Sorry Sir Dominic, this is for the Empress’ eyes only.” The captain of the guard stated to him while holding the precious parchment away from Dominic’s desperate hands. 

“Give it to me Alun!” Dominic said in a feeble attempt to persuade the man to give him the letter. In response, Alun just simply held it above his reach. Contradicting his name Alun, meaning little, he is the largest man in the palace.  Alun heard the click of heels before Dominic could. He straightened up his back and stood at full attention.

 The Empress came out of the closet wearing a simple but regal, deep blue dress. Walking to where the two men were, she took the parchment out of Alun’s hand and read it. Her eyebrows creasing in thought, deciding what to do next with the offer she just received.

“Your Majesty,

Greetings from the Kingdom of Zandonia. I, King Afonso Amos , wish to offer my son, Prince Thiago Amos, to you as a consort or concubine of your choosing. I offer you my son in exchange of peace and a treaty between us. A war not fought is the greatest kind. 

Long live the Empress- King Afonso Amos”

[simm-mouse]

Thank you for @juliabachelor tagging me^^

1. What's your favorite sims death?- I like the death by ranting in The Sims 3. I find it funny that Grim is pissed off about sims talking shit about em, and makes them die and come back to life as a warning. If you do it again within 12 hours or a day he will take the sim's soul. My guy can't handle criticism. Imagine dying because you talked shit about the reaper

2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match?- I like both. At first I started with Alpha CC, but then I've been leaning more into Maxis match side of CC

3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?- Nope, I believe in putting in the work to getting the body you want

4. Do you use move objects?- Yep, never not used it

5. Favorite Mod?- I like any mods that give the game more realistic feeling. I like pregnancy mods so there's more to the pregnancy like ultrasound. I also like mods where they have story progression with Sims that you are not playing so there's stuff for them to do

6. First game/expansion/stuff pack you own?- So I'm going to be a little extra rn, and talk about which pack I got for each game in the first ever game I got in the series. I was renting the console versions before I got my hands on one of the pc versions (Back then my family was more into consoles). The first ever game i got in the series was the Sims 2 for PS2. As for the main series on pc, I got the Sims 3. For 3, I actually got two packs at the same time. I got the Sims 3 supernatural and pets for christmas. A couple years later my grandma got me the Sims, and all it's packs from either a yard sale or thrift store. I think the first one I downloaded onto my computer was livin large. A year or two later I got the Sims 4 and for that one, I got one of those bundles for discs. It was the spa day and perfect patio bundle. Lastly, when I got the Sims 2, I think for that one I got freetime first

7. Do you pronounce live mode aLIVE or LIVing?- Just aLIVE

8. Who's your favorite sim that you've made?- I think One of them was named Miyah Bloodbore. She's a half human half vampire sim that tries to control her urges to bite sims. I'll draw her sometime in the future

9. Have you made a simself before?- I used to back when I was a fetus, but now I cringe at the idea of making myself in anything

10. What sim traits do you give yourself?- The ones I'd have now would be Socially awkward, Neurotic, Artistic, Brooding, and Clumsy

11. Which one is your favorite EA hair color?- I don't have a favorite

12. Favorite EA hair?- I don't have a favorite for this one either

13. Favorite life stage?- Adult

14. Are you a builder, or are you into the gameplay?- I'm both. When I started playing the game, I was more into gameplay. Over the years I have gone into building. But sometimes it does depend on the mood I'm in, Sometimes I'd rather build a house then play the game lol

15. Are you a CC creator?- Nope, but it would be cool to try through

16. Do you have any sim friends or a sim squad? I think everyone here in the Sims community is lovely and I would love to be pals with y'all. I do have real life friends that also enjoy the series

17. What's your favorite game out of the series?- this might be a little surprising considering I never really talk about this one, but my favorite one out of the main four is Sims 3. Sims 2 is fun to play, but Sims 3 gives me so much nostalgia. I played that one the most out of all four, yeah it's not perfect but I still enjoy playing the game. Also the color wheel, and open world, how I miss it

18. Do you have any sims merch?- Nope, but I would like to make some since I made a Tycho charm several months ago

19. Do you have a youtube channel for sims?- Nope, but I used to watch a lot of Sims gameplay

20. Who's your favorite CC creator?- I have so many favorites I can't pick just one! One of the creators I get CC from the most is RavenSim

21. How has your sim style changed throughout the years?- It has changed a lot. I used to be those summers that would make the perfect life for sims. But now whatever happens, happens and I just roll with it

22. What's your Origin/EA ID?- Hilmouse08

23. How long have you had a simblr?- I've had this account for several years. Since becoming a simblr, it's been several months

24. How do you edit your photos?- I use photoshop, for lately I've been wanting to try reshades

25. What expansion do you want next?- I want that damn horse pack, or maybe something with fairies. Also maybe not a new pack, but fix or add more to packs that already exist like they did for spa day

Again, I'm very bad with tagging people. I really don't know who to tag. So if you're reading this and have not done this yet, you have been tagged 🫵

chapter 4: hyunjins new friend

📸🌼📸🌼📸🌼📸🌼📸🌼📸🌼📸🌼📸🌼

hyunjins first week as a training photographer seemed to be going great. it was coming to late summer, so it was bright and sunny and the nights had the best sun sets. his first project was assigned on the first day. a jump start into the course and that was great for hyunjin because he couldn’t wait to get his hands on the new lens his mother brought him as a good luck present before he left.

for the a month he had to take a photo of the most beautiful view he saw on that day. the first week consisted of sunsets from his dorm window or sneaky photos he’d took of y/n. (and that one photo he took of seungmin asleep on his bedroom floor.) second week was different nature scenes from the walks he had begun to take to release stress. but hyunjin soon released if he wanted a good grade then he would have to dig deep and look for scenes that none of his classmates would have.

the park was relatively quiet that day except from a few dog walkers or young couples taking a stroll. hyunjin felt slightly out of place. everyone was with someone, maybe he should have asked y/n to come. he hadn’t told anyone about his nightly walks. he hasn’t told anyone about the amount of stress getting to him lately. he kept himself to himself and that’s the way he’d always been.

when he was 14 hyunjin broke his arm trying to ride jisungs skateboard up a ramp. no one knew about it because he kept it to himself. he thought his parents were busy and didn’t want to bother them. they didn’t find out until his mother noticed a deadly looking bruise spread all over his arm. but even after she asked he just said ‘oh i must have hit it in my sleep’

when he was 16 hyunjin and his first girlfriend had went exploring in the forest. y/n had told him not to go as it was dangerous with the amount of steep hills. even so he went because he wasn’t going to miss out on his first make out. well he should have listened because five minutes into whatever they were do he’d tripped back falling down a steep hill with his not so light girlfriend landing on top of him. she was fine, just a lightly stratch on her arm, but hyunjin on the other hand had cut open his leg. and still hyunjin prioritied the girl who ended up breaking his heart. luckily when y/n found the cut she’d alerted his family. hyunjin would it let it to go infected and later on damage his leg just so he didn’t have to worry anyone else.

hyunjin was a selfless person. it was his nature. so when he started to feel stressed he knew he’d have to find a way to deal with it alone. walks had become his comfort. he thought it was stupid at first when he’d looked up ‘how to deal with stress’ on google. so clique. but now it had him taking a 20 minute walk around the park everyday.

don’t get him wrong, it didn’t cure his stress but it left his with some satisfaction afterwards.

he knew if he asked y/n she would have done a spa night with him. but he’s selfless so the thought of him being pampered made his skin crawl. if hed asked seungmin, he probably would have been offered a coffee. but hyunjin was already on 4 cups a day and didn’t want to ‘overdose on caffeine’ if that was even possible. he didn’t really have anyone he could turn to him and jiha werent so close, and felix had only just budged his way into the friend group.

so walks it was.

he liked to take his camera or some days take his painting set and sit a picnic table drawing strangers walking past. hyunjin thought people were beautiful going there everyday life. especially couples. through the first two weeks he’d noticed how many people were in relationships.

he’d obviously been in relationships before but never been inlove with someone.if he was picturing his future he could see himself with a dog and y/n. never a wife or kids.

he remembers the oath him and y/n made when they were 12.

“if we aren’t married by the time we’re 24 then we’ll marry each other.”

it was stupid but every time he reimagined the scene in his head it put a smile on his face. he thought y/n probably didn’t remember she barley remembers what she ate the night before so it was unlikely she’d remember that.

she’d never had a boyfriend. or spoke to a male in a more than friends way before. which was good because hyunjin never liked to see her close to another boy. she’d had a fare share of crushes but nothing ever happened. she’d also only ever kissed one person but hyunjin tried to forget that everyday of his life.

she had a big place in his heart.

half way into his stroll hyunjin found out why the park had been so quiet. on the street leading out into busans downtown there was a busker.

hyunjin liked watching buskers.

he tried it once in his old dance team when he 11. it was scary, having so many people watching you. if they got bored they would walk away and you had no right to be offended. with the money they had collected he brought a paint set for y/n’s 12th birthday with his share of it. whenever people found out she was older they were always shocked. hyunjin was always a tall child. even now being 5’10. y/n was always undoubtedly shorter and had a baby face.

the busker was putting his whole body into his performance. he was breath taking, even for hyunjin. he had never seen someone so passionate while dancing. this was perfect. hyunjin was in awe over the dancer so why not snap a photo of the moment. he stood slightly back pulling out his camera.

snap.

when the performance was over hyunjin jogged over to the small cat mug in the front of the speaker. hyunjin looked in noticing the dancer only had a few coins. no doubt people random change. he took out 80,000 won placing it into the mug.

hyunjin started walking off.

it was getting late and he’d promised y/n a netflix night and he knew if he was late she’d never let him live it down.

he felt a tap on his shoulder turning to see the dancer with a distraught look on his face. he had the note in his hand holding it out to hyunjin.

“i can’t take this.”

“why? you were amazing and made my day better.”

“thanks man but i’ll feel guilt please take it and take your girlfriend out or something.” he pushed the note crumpling it into hyunjins hand.

was he so beautiful that people assumed he was taken? hyunjin tsked. “we’ll take it as a payment. you helped me with my assignment,” he held up his camera showing the dancer. “and i helped with your bills this month.” the dancer bowed to hyunjin.

“thank you so much you don’t understand. please let me buy you a coffee some time. i work at the cafe down the road. just come in and ask for minho.” the dancer stuck out his hand for hyunjin to shake.

“hyunjin.”

“we’ll hyunjin see you around. thank you again.”

“you too minho and btw i don’t have a girlfriend to take out so it’s my pleasure.”

—

“you’re late.” y/n pouted sat in her bed.

she’d given hyunjin her spare key considering he’d spent the same amount of time in the dorm as she had.

“sorry i made a friend at the park.” y/n sat up making room for hyunjin to squash next to her.

he threw the bag of snacks at y/n but she ignored him sitting up. “oh so you’re late and replaced me?”

“shut up. he was busking and offered to buy me coffee because i gave him 80,000 won.”

“what? hyunjin why did you do that? how are you gonna-“

he placed his hand over her mouth to silence her. “i took his pictures and he was amazing so i felt the need.” y/n raised her eyebrows and licked his hand.

“ew gross.” hyunjin pulled his hand away wiping it on his t-shirt.

the sound of a notification pulled him away though. it was y/n’s phones. he looked at the lockscreen of him and y/n posing stupidly in a photo booth at the funfair a year back.

felix: yeah we can make that work ^^ should i pick you up at 7?

Winter prompt 7 Julie and Alex!

"It's Secret Santa time!" Flynn exclaimed as she strode through the jungle of cubicles, and everyone groaned. "I know, I know, but the Social Committee is trying their best, and this year you all filled out gift suggestions, so no white elephant presents this year!"

Flynn almost pranced through the office space, thrusting her cup full of names at everyone, gleefully insisting they participate. "It's a $25 limit, you guys can surely spare that much to make one of your co-workers days more merry and bright? Plus the party will have free booze!"

Everyone was a bit more enthusiastic after that.

Julie was typing away at her computer when Flynn came over, shoving the tin of names into her face. "Your turn, underachiever."

Julie sighed and rolled her eyes. "Can't you pick for me? I just got done asking a very drunk man all the survey questions about his data usage and I don't have the energy for holiday shenanigans right now."

"But what if I pick and you get me? I want it to be a surprise Jules!" Flynn insisted, shaking the tin once more. Julie groaned and reached in, pulling out a slip of paper, and unfolded it.

Alex Mercer, IT Department. Suggestions: Gift cards for The Beer Garden, museum passes, or Luke's Music Corner

"I didn't get you," Julie commented wryly. "Or myself, can I get back to work now?"

Flynn nodded and skipped off again, leaving Julie to go back to her data, and cursing her life where doing telephone surveys paid the bills while her composition degree did not.

Alex was absorbed in a phone call when Flynn happened by, and he looked to be suffering. "Horace, what have we said about photocopying your butt? Yes, that it's inappropriate, what else? Yes, that you will cause the printer to malfunction. Which it now is. With your ass prints on the glass. So what have we learned?" Alex gave a sigh through his noes, sending his eyes towards the ceiling as if in prayer. "Yes Horace, good job. Now call Jasper in custodial services to go clean the photocopier again, and when that's done I'll send someone up to fix it, not before."

Alex huffed out a breath as he ended the call, trying to muster a smile for Flynn, one of the few people in HR he could stand. They had a running bet over how long it would be before Horace broke the glass, and if his CEO uncle would bail him out then.

"Nepotism still strong at work I see," Flynn remarked, pulling a can of soda from her bag and offering it to Alex who gratefully pulled it open and took a swig.

"Mmhmm, as always. So what brings you down to my dungeon?"

"Secret Santa, you need to pick a name, buy a gift. Show up with it, get a few free drinks, go home."

"Sounds like a riveting time," Alex snarked, but pulled the paper from the tin, and opened it.

Julie Molina, Data Entry. Suggestions: gift certificate to Overview Spa, a good bottle of red wine, or a gift card for Ortega's Bookstore

The night of the Secret Santa party, Julie showed up, but only because Flynn threatened to drag her there if she didn't show. It had been a long, hellacious week, and though she had a few bright spots, sparkling green eyes and a crooked grin came to mind, she wanted to stay home in bed with a good book, not socialize with her coworkers-most of whom she didn't know-on a Saturday night.

She dropped her card into the giant box there, and went to get a drink, thankful that the office had sprung for the good stuff. Maybe with a buzz the awful Christmas music wouldn't grate on her so much. Look, Julie wasn't normally a Grinch-she usually loved Christmas, but this year had been hard, she didn't like her job, and she had hoped for so much more after she left school. That made it hard to get into the spirit of the season this time around.

"Alright everyone!" Flynn said as she stepped up to the microphone, smiling widely. "It's time for presents! I'm going to draw out the first card and call your name, and then you get to pick out the next one and so on!"

Flynn called out the first name, some girl named Nancy from the Marketing division, who was thrilled by her gift card to the local craft supply store, which Julie kind of figured, given the very ugly holiday sweater she was wearing.

"Alex Mercer!" Nancy called. Julie's ears perked up, watching as this tall blonde guy-totally not who she thought of when she though IT-came up, and smiled when he opened the card. "Sweet, now I can get some new drumsticks!" So Julie guessed that he liked her gift, though probably not as much as she had enjoyed buying it given her plans for next weekend and the new set of digits in her phone. He reached in and pulled out the next card, and gave a little chuckle. "Julie Molina!"

Well, what were the odds?

Julie went up and thanked Alex, opening the card, which was very nice, and saw the gift card for her favourite bookstore, with a little message recommending her a few of his favourite books. "Thanks," she said. "I'll definitely have to check a few of these out."

"Honestly I should be thanking you," Alex said. "I met Willie when I was shopping there and got a date out of it, so win win for me!"

"Huh, I also got a date when I bought your gift," Julie remarked.

"Luke or Reggie?" Alex asked. Julie looked at him a little confused and he shrugged. "They're my best friends, own the store together, but still refuse to give me a discount."

"Well then, maybe I should cancel our date," Julie giggled, and then saw Flynn shooting her a look, making her remember where she was, and she drew a card from the pile. "Horace Weems?"

A young man came up to claim his card, and so Julie went off to the side where Alex was still standing, glaring daggers at the man. "You know him?" she asked.

"Only by reputation since I keep having to fix stuff he breaks," Alex grumbled.

"You wanna gripe about this place over some good booze?" Julie offered.

"And you can tell me which of my himbo friends you said yes to?" Alex asked, offering her an elbow. "Lead the way."

The party was a lot more fun after that, and if Julie ended up with a work buddy plus a friend to go on double dates with for the holidays? Well that was better than any gift certificate could be.

[clubwnderland]

It's all worth it when Chris sees the look on Irene's face.

The endless balloons, the struggling with the cake order, the decorating and dealing with kids stealing food, the reaching out to people and inviting them over. Getting out of his comfort zone and everything else is all worth it when Irene's eyes widen, when her jaw falls to the floor, when her hands are held up in surprise, and when she turns to look at him in such disbelief.

He's honestly surprised he managed to get it all done in time; he's surprised Chan said yes to using his place, and he's surprised Channie and Jangmi didn't mess up the cake. He's surprised Sanie and Vitoria picked up the phone and showed up with gifts and all, surprised Alice offered to help decorate, and surprised Juyeon and San remembered to bring over the drinks.

He's overall surprised. Impressed. Hell, he even convinced Chan to allow Spartan in and got him a silly little bow!

It's all worth it, and as he kisses the top of Irene's head he motions for her to walk in and greet everyone.

The wolf stands back as he stares. The way Vitoria gives her such a tight hug, whispers to her ear a happy birthday. The way the woman steals Rinnie from Alice's arm, smiling happily at the drawing the toddler has for her. How Sanie waits patiently his turn, handing Irene her gift bag and giggling as she hugs him and kisses his head a couple of times.

She's eventually back, arms wrapping around his neck as she brings him down for a kiss. Chris chuckles, hands resting on her hips as he smiles onto the kiss, a soft happy birthday spoken against her lips before she drags him with her.

A success, he'd say.

It's a lot. It's more than a lot really, it's everything. This is everything Irene had ever wanted and there is barely anything in this world that could make her feel more loved than she does right now.

When the others had gifted her a spa day, she hadn't thought that it could potentially be used as a way to get rid of her for the day. She thought it was just something nice for her to do and how to get her feeling revitalised after all the work she does but here she is, standing in Chan's house, surrounded by the people she loves the most.

"You're all here," Irene's voice is shaky, holding Sanie's hand with one hand while tucked into Chris' side. "Thank you for coming, I really appreciate it."

The lights turn off, soft singing starts up thanks to Jangmi and Channie, and that is all it takes for Irene to break down. The tears start to fall as Alice brings the cake and Chris looks down at her with a smile, noticing her crying because she's overwhelmed by happiness. He gives her a gentle squeeze as he chuckles and helps her blow out the candles before she gets tears and snot everywhere. She doesn't care that everyone is having a bit of a laugh at her expense, that they think this is very soft and cute of her, because she loves this very much.

Irene has wanted one thing for a long time, a family dinner. A dinner where she's surrounded by all these people, sharing a meal and having a good night but it always felt a little silly to expect. Demons, werewolves, humans and the like all in one household? Nobody would really think it was possible and yet, here they are. For her.

And she loves them all the more for it.

When everyone had left and Chris starts to pack Irene's presents into the car, leaving little room for poor Spartan, Irene takes his hand and pulls him close. "You did all of this for me?" She asks, hand reaching up to guide him down and bring him close, "I love you. Thank you for bringing everyone here. It made me the happiest I've ever been."

It did. More than those words could ever convey, it really did.
