Hey, chat. . .can I just take a moment to absolutely appreciate Penelope's beauty. . .LIKE WHAT.

The mysterious vibe of them..the purple black and blue combo...AND THE HAIR SITTING ON THE SHOULDER IM GONNA *fucking explodes*

I think you guys should know that I am an ABSOLUTE SUCKER for characters who give a cold vibe to them. . . *looks at Bezaliel and Veraswamy*. Penelope's appearance looks like they'd flip their hair after saying something cold, tbh *does Homura akemi gestures*

NGL WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF PENELOPE I AM A SUCKER FOR THEM *giggles*

-paris anon

I LUOVEEEEE PENELOPE SOOO MUCHHHHHHHHH listen if i fumbled a baddie like ulysses did i'd kill myself

HIS COLORS/VIBES ARE SO IMPORTANT TO ME...... idr if i shared the design notes for him but idc here you go again

SHE'S... CERTAINLY COLD. AND ALOOF. he doesn't really talk much nor emote so people have just kinda objectified him in their brains and thinking "what's he really like?" he's literally just like that he kinda lets life drift by and doesn't really have a goal in life. she usually deals with her problems by ignoring it. or calmly tell them to stop and if they do neither they just kinda go back to ignoring them. she just dehumanizes people in her brain and doesn't really acknowledge them

like the suitors? the suitors aren't actually bothering him too much, he doesn't hate them but he definitely doesn't like them either. he doesn't really like how they're desecrating his home and how they bother telemachus and wants them out because of how they're impacting other people but if they were alone she'd probably be like "sure. you can stay." since she has a bit of pity in her heart for them. they're like sad stray dogs to her

that isn't to say she lets the suitors do whatever they want, she straight up threatens them if they go too far

[epickiya722]

Haha right? It's so normalized while it's actually so inappropriate to go to a stranger and talk about their sexual preferences.

I hate how "x fans" is called "x fuckers" now. Yeah I like Sukuna. No I don't want to fuck him. But all there is in his tags.

I'd go as far as to say that people don't care about characters. They just want to put them into tropes box to imagine them as their vampire/alpha male/ceo lover.

And I find it ironic how the same will trash talk about fanboys while they do the exact same thing. '"let women be horny" they will say, because reducing a story to you being horny is ok.

I still want to publish my stories because some fandom gave me hope. But I don't hold my breath anymore.

It is very inappropriate. Like, damn, I can't just like the character? I can't be entertained by their antics?

There are just so many things that shouldn't be normalized across fandoms and going into someone's inbox to be like "*insert character* fucker" is one.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind people having their fantasies about their faves, let alone am I gonna police anybody on or care to. Waste of my time, I got fics to write! Posts to post! 😭

But sometimes I do think "does this person actually care about the character's story"?

Because some of those same people will have so many takes on their faves that don't even be that character. That is a whole OC you created!!

I actually wasn't aware of this until only recently that people accepted for Sukuna to become some absolute horndog when Yorozu was up all over him. Maybe I missed something, but Sukuna only ever expressed being interested in fighting and killing people and personally, he never really came across as some sexual deviant to me.

I feel like sometimes if you have this fanon version of your fave, that is not your favorite. In no way, should you feel the need to like this whole other version of your "fave" in order to like him. Then why have them as your favorite in the first place?

I like Sukuna because he entertains me. He's this evil ass menace who wants all the smoke and the biggest beef he has is with a 15 year old (who is my all time favorite of JJK). Sukuna also this mysterious air about him because we still don't know much about his backstory, let alone everything he can do. (I had this recent thought about a technique that I should probably get to writing.) I have theories about his character, like how he may really be as a person, true. But at the same time, I'm not gonna believe my theories about him are canon because "I know him better than Gege". Anything I say isn't canon unless said so explicitly. I didn't create Sukuna. I am just another fan just vibing along with the story.

And it really is insane to me that people will do that. People were saying "female fans of JJK are ruining the fandom, they're all so horny" as if all us are horny, let alone engage in the anime for said reasons.

The same people *cough cough* misogynists *cough* who say that be the same people who will have a wallpaper of someone like Nami as their header and she'll have boobs bigger than what she has in canon.

Oooh, y'all don't like folks be objectifying the JJK men, huh? Even though for years female characters have gotten the treatment in Shonen. You cannot be dragging Gojo fans when you want to be Makima's dog. Stop that now.

Also, its not just the men! Uh, Yuki Tsukumo exists! She has a lot of fans who find her attractive. There's Shoko, Utahime, Takako, Mei Mei...

I'm waiting for the day 143 gets animated because I just know people are gonna go 👀.

Like, either way, if you're a person who gets constantly horny over your faves, why are you upset with someone doing the same?

I saw this meme post about how people tend to overlook the story and its details and only focus on the attractive cast and fights. And some people were like "but people are only focusing on the fights and attractive cast".

No, they're not. You're missing the point.

For one, you can find the characters attractive and enjoy the fights. That is fine. But at the same time, don't miss the story. Pay attention to it because it's just as important, if not more.

Second, not everyone is focused on just the fights and cast. If that was the cast, why do we have theories and meta posts? Why do we have people writing fics that study the character they're writing about? If no one is focusing on the story and only like the fights and attractiveness of the characters, then those kind of posts from fans wouldn't exist.

EUGENE LEE YANG IS LEAVING THE TRY GUYS

Eugene talks about how he's currently too stretched creatively, and is leaving the Try Guys to focus on his other projects. (He has two films in production, as well as a queer fantasy novel and a graphic novel in the works.) His departure does not appear to be happening with any rancor, but what he says about the difficulty in keeping up a public, onscreen persona is also very heartfelt and moving. Nonetheless, he's also kept the door open for guest spots with the Try Guys in the future. And he's only leaving after the current season, so we can still catch him in Try Guy videos for now.

Full transcript of the audio follows, if you'd like to speed read through:

- [Rachel] You ready? (Eugene sighs) - Dear friends, well, it's my time. I've wanted to have this heart to heart with y'all for quite a while now. It is with immense gratitude and unconditional love for Zach, Keith, our partners, our staff, and all of you who have supported us that I'm announcing my official departure from The Try Guys. After 10 profoundly impactful years, my time here on YouTube has come to an end. There's no version of this announcement in which I can properly express how emotional this moment is for me, how hard it is to close such a meaningful chapter of my life. But in the spirit of so much of my digital work, I'm gonna give it one last try.

I want to preface this by giving my heartfelt thanks to Zach and Keith, my bespectacled baby brothers, my tall and tiny nerd. I have no idea how we ended up on this wild journey together, but I couldn't have asked for better, smarter, weirder, funnier, and above all kinder individuals to have ridden alongside. It's been a great irreplicable honor that I will always treasure. And though our time in viral videos may be over, our friendship is forever. Even if I'll hate it when your spawn call me Guncle in the future, I shall train to become the best goddamn gay uncle in recorded human history.

Keith, you are such a shining light, truly the most physically gorgeous specimen alive with those long legs and huge mouth. After today, you are undeniably the hottest Try Guy. Zach, you're an absolute rock star. Every opinion you have is 100% correct, and I want to proclaim on record that I am the Letty Ortiz to your Dom... Guys, come on. I'm not saying all of this. - No, this is so much better than I ever imagined. Keep going, keep going. - Yes, the more emotional you get, the more everyone's gonna be okay with it. - Can you cry on cue? That would be so good for this. - Oh my gosh. Crying in the thumbnail. That'd be tits! Give it to us! (everyone laughs) - Rachel, will you please make them stop? - Yeah, you can't do this. It's a sincere video. You can't make him fake cry. - Okay. - Make him take off his shirt so we can objectify him one more time. - You being naked would be tits! (Zach laughs) - If y'all are gonna keep doing this, then just come over here and join me in presenting a few points. - Okay. So should we do the whole three guys one couch? - Absolutely not. - Dang. - Kind of invented the couch, but, okay, whatever.

- That being said, the three of us have always held a mutual, empathetic understanding about when the right time was for me to take a bow. - Some of you may have seen this coming for a while, as Eugene's schedule has gotten busier over the past few years. We thank you for your patience regarding a formal clarification. We wish we could have told you sooner, but certain circumstances outside of our control kind of challenged the three of us to come together in solidarity, and I'm very glad that we did. - Me too. So I'd like to reiterate, in case anyone misinterprets this as some kind of interpersonal ill will, that this is the furthest thing from drama. We have been through the worst version of that together. And all of my decisions have been made in consideration of what we built. And these two will always have my undying support, even if it happens to be from afar. - As you've witnessed with other notable goodbyes this year, there's a myriad of motivations for YouTubers to step away. Some are retiring, others are burnt out. Many have issues with the platform itself, as you've heard us talk about before. But again, our shows, they're not leaving YouTube at all. - Yeah, we're staying. I mean, he's leaving. - He's leaving. - I'm leaving. They're staying. But it's still a very personal decision for me, which I'll expand on later in this video. Rest assured the three of us have been discussing and planning these major changes together for a very long time now. - Of course, there's really no perfect time for this. This was always gonna be bittersweet, and we know that. We agreed though that now makes the most sense considering all the exciting new things that are happening at the company and in our lives. - Speaking of which, I just wanna say that I'm so, so, so proud of these two and our staff for your vision. Did I just elbow your stomachs? - Yeah, elbowed my belly. - I'm trying to express affection. - It was good. - You're almost there. - What do I do instead? If I go down... - If you go down it will be less affectionate or more affectionate, depending on the type of affection you like to give. - You were telling us how proud you are. - I was. Okay. Speaking of which, I am so, so proud of these two and our staff for your vision and hard work for the next era of 2nd Try. Now one of our long-term goals has always been to use the privilege of our platform to expand into a wider cast of diverse voices. - So we like to think that we're not really losing Eugene, but we're gaining so many more perspectives that deserve the opportunity to shine. However, we cannot let Eugene go without filming one last season of classic Try Guys videos. - And you can watch those episodes starting tonight at 2ndtry.tv. They're also gonna be here available on YouTube for free at a later time. Either way, I'm gonna miss you, buddy. - Yeah, 'cause, you know, we love you. - Oh. I love you all too. Come here. Come here. - Okay. - Come here. - Let's go for it. - This is a real one. - This is nice. - All right, now, if you would be so kind, I'd like to spend my last moments here with our beautiful, incredible audience. - Makes sense. - Cool. - [Zach] Okay. - I... (Keith and Zach giggle) - [Keith] Wee! - [Zach] Woo! Where do you wanna get lunch? - I'm the one leaving. This doesn't make sense. - [Zach] Oh, it's so bright. - [Keith] Oh my god. - It's fine. Okay. I'll wait till their bit's done. How are they gonna get back inside?

I want to be fully transparent about my reasons for leaving YouTube. And some of these have been difficult for me to find the confidence to express, but y'all deserve a comprehensive explanation. Well, first, in regards to my time, which is the primary issue we've cited, yes, I have become enormously inundated with work. I'm the busiest I've ever been in my entire life, and I'm so, so thankful to be committing my blood, sweat, and tears into projects that mean the world to me. Projects that have been in rigorous development for many years, which I'll elaborate more on in a bit. Now, as you know, once they required my undivided attention, I couldn't appear as often as I used to in videos. And it hasn't gone unnoticed how much my gradual withdrawal has upset some of you. And I am truly sorry for that. To express this as simply as possible, working full-time here became untenable, and it's evident that I can't continue keeping one foot in. So this amorphous arrangement where people end up asking the very fair question, "Is Eugene even a Try Guy anymore?" that will only disappoint all parties involved, especially you, the viewers who have stood by us. So for clarity's sake, we've decided to establish a clean break because clean breaks are ultimately better for the healing process. And I sincerely hope to guest star in future videos, and I don't wanna risk them being tainted by any embitterment. I want us to collectively look forward to those reunions with joy.

Now onto what I've been working on. My primary passions are writing and directing in the film and literary spaces. And my focus has always been on fiction, behind the camera and the pen. And that has never changed. And to hope to achieve any success in those spaces, gosh, it requires a lifetime of commitment. And first, my feature film. I've been writing and developing what will be my directorial debut for some time now. And we are in the active stage of packaging, and I am thrilled to be bringing it to life. The incomparable creatives at Killer Films believed in my script and have been working tirelessly with me for the past few years to get to this critical point. And I can't share more yet, but believe me when I say that it is the unbridled expression of my soul, and I have never been more determined and inspired. Now if you're unfamiliar with the industry, it's an exceedingly rare and blessed opportunity to be able to, one, get a movie produced at all, and two, gain the trust of others as a filmmaker. It requires 110% of my investment, both physically and emotionally. And I'm finally at a place in my journey as an artist to tackle this with unwavering conviction in my vision. And on top of that, the same can be applied to the literary world. I hold tremendous reverence for the writing process and am committed to proving myself as an author. So many aren't afforded this extraordinary opportunity, and I really don't want to squander it. As some of you know, I've been hard at work writing my novel, which is the first in an epic queer fantasy duology with the brilliant folks over at Macmillan and Feiwel & Friends. Due to certain unforeseen circumstances, we've had to push the release date. So you can expect it to be available next year in 2025, and I cannot wait for you to read it. Separately, I've also been writing my first graphic novel with Vault Comics, a twisted horror fantasy musical titled "Buckaroo". And you can expect more news about that and many other developments I can't mention yet in the very near future. My devotion is to creating original stories that will fundamentally thrive in other mediums.

This all brings me to a crucial message that I humbly want to emphasize. While yes, these projects are time consuming, I haven't necessarily prioritized them because I view the digital space as somehow beneath them. No, no. I have worked here online proudly for a decade and will always champion how profound and spectacular this medium can be. But after this past decade of work, of being invited into your homes, of having the privilege of getting to know so many of you, I've come to terms with the fact that this simply isn't the right space for me. The internet can be a fun, rewarding, fantastic place where many creatives shine, including my colleagues who are so, so talented at what they do. In truth, more often than not, I've experienced the opposite effect and leaving will be the best decision for preserving my mental health.

Now it makes me wildly uncomfortable to divulge all of this as I don't want to come off like I'm complaining. I can never stop repeating how deeply fortunate and thankful I am to have ever, ever been on this platform. But I'm going to try to open up as eloquently as possible because I really do care about all of you watching who might have come to care about me. I was always a private person, which has continually been at odds with the demands of being an online personality. Relatability, vulnerability, accessibility, all keywords you're familiar with about what makes a great YouTuber. Unfortunately, these weren't second nature to me, even though I tried my best. I really tried. I already contend with a complex relationship with my identities, so to have to casually discuss and publicize them at length, often in a positive and humorous manner, was exceptionally tough. This is an unscripted comedy channel after all, and that is why I removed myself completely from podcasting. I was trying to find ways to set boundaries and protect myself. But as someone who heavily saturated your screens for so many years, it might have come off as me growing distant and disinterested.

And if you have ever felt that way and if my colleagues have ever felt that way, then please know that that was never ever my intention. In all honesty, I was enduring more anguish, especially after involuntarily going viral for something so agonizing and demoralizing. Demand for my openness only grew. Strangers have been quick to tell me that I owe them my feelings and that I owe them my time to appear in content and that it's all just part of the job. Now contrary to the brave face I try to put on, I've always been profoundly aware of others' expectations. And if I'm unable to satisfy those expectations while staying true to myself, then maybe it's just not right. And many of you watching have probably experienced something similar in your own lives, that poignant moment when you know deep down that it's time for a change. Even if it hurts and even if it's hard, you know what? That change can be wonderful for everyone involved. And that is why I know that this simply isn't the right space for me and that that should be okay. I sincerely hope that it will be okay for all of you. And how I best express myself has been through narrative projects and ones that I can be fully immersed in, ones that can be guarded and intentional, long-term and precious, because that's where I'm most comfortable and energized, when I'm translating my identity, cultures, family history, and demons into work that can be dark and radical and strange and provocative. And while I also have made so, so many memories here that I'll always cherish, in the end, I can't stay. I wish I could be better at all of this for you and for my friends here at 2nd Try. I wish I found an alternative way to make this work because many YouTubers manage to flourish while protecting their peace. But the best, brightest version of myself is the me that can disappear behind my work, and that should be okay.

I chalk some of that up to how I've always had to navigate my privacy and presentation, which tends to be an integral part of the queer experience. It's why I've always relished experimenting with fashion as it's a way for me to transform into an alternate higher version of myself that's dazzling and powerful and self-possessed. You witnessed me learning how to paint my fantasies through clothing in real time. I bring this up because I don't want the summary of my issues to diminish the countless occasions where I have genuinely felt growth, connection, and happiness. A vital aspect of my time with y'all online was my coming out journey. That was undeniably raw and real. And I have grown so much louder and prouder about such a controlled, buried part of myself that was largely due to how emboldened I became because of so many of you out there, and I am eternally grateful for that.

I've also become uncompromisingly secure and appreciative of my representing of Asianness, of my Asianness. So much of that is thanks to the climate I was incredibly lucky to be a part of online where we carved out spaces to show more multifaceted, nuanced aspects of our unique backgrounds. To even be considered a voice in our community is an honor I hold dear every waking moment because I was someone who had always felt so voiceless before.

Fuck! I'm not supposed to cry. Overall, I've undergone an invaluable kind of education that could only happen through social media. It's inspired me to champion progressive values even when the world tries to stamp them out. I fully embrace the power of activism, and I'm more dedicated than ever to lead projects that explore and employ underrepresented talent. My time here with you has helped shape those principles, and I aim to never ever lose that energy. And although I've confessed the more stressful facets of my 10 years on YouTube, if I ever happened to make you smile or laugh or cry, then please know that you were instrumental in keeping me going 'cause you inspired me. Because regardless of the platform, to be able to share essential parts of myself, to garner an emotional response, and to have a spirited discourse, all of that qualifies as art. It constituted a meaningful relationship between us. And it ended up making me learn how to smile and laugh and cry too. And you, my dear friends, have my profound thanks for the opportunity and privilege to have been a part of your lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you. In conclusion, I want you to take away this one incontrovertible truth. You, all of the fans, and everyone here at 2nd Try could never be the reason I left because you were all the reason I stayed. Well, that's it. I hope y'all enjoy my final season of videos ahead, but this is my official sign off from the internet for the last time as a Try Guy. And as a guy who still has much to try, I know we'll meet again. Love, Eugene.

- That's a cut and that's a wrap on Eugene Lee Yang. (everyone applauds) Wait. Come hug him. - No! - [Rachel] Yes! - [Keith] We did. - No. - We didn't order you a lunch though. Are you cool with that? - One last time. - Taco salad. - Congrats. - I love you all. Now just the hugs to the camera. (everyone laughs) - [Rachel] Miss you most of all. - [Eugene] I'll miss you most of all.

Hi, hello, hola, and happy Stab Caesar Day! Tumblr ate my original draft because, um, I guess its hunger is horrible and insatiable? But here I am for take two. Thank you to @artsyunderstudy, @larkral, and @forabeatofadrum, who tagged me today and who continue to craft delightful things.

Updates on My Good Egg (Good morning, good night, good morning): My plan of posting Chapter 4 today ain't gonna happen. I updated the author's notes, but the next posting date is TBD. I need to focus on my health right now, and then I'll be travelling for a bit (March 24-April 7). But hey, if you've been meaning to read this one, now's a great time to catch up? 🤣

In the meanwhile, I'll share a snippet featuring several of my OCs, Baz's queer, chaotic uni friends. Behind the cut for mild spice. 🌶️

Bunce goes off with Simon so that she can pump the American bartender for information, and as soon as they’re out of earshot, Emma leans forward, her eyes glittering. “Well?”

“Well what.”

“I told Liu and Ramesh you got kidnapped,” Emma says, waving her hand dismissively, “and of course we’re all very worried and hope you’re doing okay and acclimating to regular life again, but have. You. Ridden. That.” 

Baz regrets downing a few rats before they left for the pub, because it means he has enough blood in him to blush. “We’ve been figuring out this kidnapping situation,” he says coolly. “It hasn’t left much time for carnal pursuits.” 

“Baz,” Liu says, aghast. “Why haven’t you fucked that nice himbo? He’s clearly gagging for it - he couldn’t stop staring at your arse in those jeans.” 

“Is he a himbo?” Ramesh says. He pulls out a pen and starts to doodle a triple Venn diagram on a napkin. “He seemed like more of a twunk to me. And he’s got a great bear belly.” 

“Ladies,” Emma says, her hands fluttering in mock-distress, “please don’t objectify that sweet boy before Baz gets to objectify him. Baz will eat his fill of the man-meat and then give us a report.” 

(Please put in the comments/tags if you think Simon Snow is a twunk, a himbo, or something else delightful. 🤣)

Hello tags and tagbacks: @whogaveyoupermission, @cutestkilla, @facewithoutheart, @captain-aralias, @fatalfangirl, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe, @whogaveyoupermission (THE EDGING CONTINUES), @raenestee, @ileadacharmedlife, @shrekgogurt, @hushed-chorus, @shemakesmeforget, @theimpossibledemon, @imagineacoolusername

More about the hiatus for My Good Egg:

(Warning for some hard stuff, Big Feelings, trauma recovery. Feel free to skip and just bask in Ides of March posts instead!)

Okay, so introspective life/writing blather here... I keep meaning to write a post, at some point, about some of the best practices that I follow when I am writing about material that is heavy, like in Baker boxer teacher grief or the Rosethorn girl universe.

A lot of stuff that works for me is probably self-evident: go slow, be gentle, ground yourself, talk to safe people, have a release valve, be able to walk away, offer yourself a lot of self-care and self-compassion, take care of the soft animal of your body. And don't feel like you have to put everything in - some of what you can write can just be for you, and it can be enough to have written it, and not include it in the finished product.

I honestly didn't expect Good morning, good night, good morning to get me where I live. It is, as I've always maintained, a dumb horny rom com (that somehow developed a plot and backstory and plot TWISTS and OCs but ANYWAY). But there was a line in Chapter 3 that kept rattling around in me:

“You were a kid,” Simon says, his voice low and angry. “You were just a kid.” 

This is not the first time I've been triggered by own fic (and probably won't be the last, LOL!), but this one did me a doozy. I've had to take a few steps back, and just focus on recovering from trauma that's been reactivated in my body. It is wild what the body remembers, and how it holds onto pain.

(There is, at the same time, other stuff happening with my family with grief and estrangement and just a whole mischegoss of hard feelings, so that adds another element into the mix.)

To circle back round to My Good Egg: I'm putting it to the side for now while I tend to my health and just recovering from the past few weeks. It's funny - I don't think it's a particularly angsty story or one that does a super deep dive into trauma, but I need to take some pieces off my plate right now, and this fic is one of them.

I will always keep writing - the WIP game has been a delightful brain refresher, and I have a very fun Six Sentence Sunday post that I'm already excited to share. But for now, My Good Egg is gonna have a li'l nap. When I come back to it, I think I'll switch over to writing the second draft in its entirety, and then posting the chapters weekly, whenever that happens. I'm not putting a timeline on it right now.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk making your way through this personal essay, if you've gotten this far. I am continually blown away and delighted by everyone who engages with the fic, and I am so excited to serve you up some treats in the future.

To end on a lighter note, here is an exchange with my spouse, the inestimable EarlobeGreyTea who continues to offer thoughtful and nuanced feedback on this fic, Exhibit A:

EarlobeGreyTea: Did they fuck in this chapter?

Me: No Me: And they didn't fuck in the previous chapter Me: It's the EROTIC Grope Fest. It doesn't have to have explicit sex (yet) EarlobeGreyTea: Yeah, I guess it isn't the Sloppy Fuck Fest

Love you all. ❤️❤️❤️

re: my last long personal post about the day i had at work today

i'm sorry like i just can't get over it, i can't get over it. i am not there to be ogled, i am not there to be objectified. i'm not there to be a petting zoo or a table. i'm not there for any of it. i feel different enough at work for my age and position.

i'm VERY aware little boys have crushes on me. every now and then, one of them makes it very obvious. it's seriously nothing to me, because it's always been respectful. kids have crushes on adults, especially young ones. but i have no more intention of being a seductress than i would if i were fifty and married. i just so happen to be 25 and single. oh well. i am equally disinterested, and would like to be presumed as equally disinterest-ing. if i get a little unfair halo effect sometimes, i don't care.

it has literally never been so sexual in nature before. it has never been so much about my body, my legs. i worry about the reaction to this being dampened by the effect of the other adults around me seeing that and being like, well, yeah, if he's gonna be interested in anyone's legs, it'll be hers. i feel embarrassed calling attention to the fact that a kid is attracted to me. it has always, always been a non-issue before this. it has always been innocent and respectful of my role as the adult.

i wanna say i don't worry about this happening again, because it is a first. it is a first for me in four years, with dozens if not hundreds of kids, that i've been treated so inappropriately by a child. i worry about this being seen as more natural because it happened to me. but it's not natural just because it happened to me. i'm the teacher that a lot of kids have little crushes on, whatever. i'm not the teacher kids get to pinch and gawk at; that's never happened.

if this happened to me and i were fifty and married, would it be more scandalous? would i just, perhaps, not be believed? i don't know. i don't know. i keep going down these thought spirals of why me. what is the reaction people have to it being me? because while the few people who saw/heard about this seemed not to condone it, they don't seem shocked either. but it hurts, it does, because i'm shocked. that it happened to me. it's like i don't really know if people can put themselves in my shoes more than they can put themselves in his.

a young woman being treated at her place of work as a piece of meat is offensive, but it's everyday. it's banal. a teenage boy having a preoccupation with an adult woman that he can't see as fully human also so normalized. it just feels like an unempathetic view for me is all i can expect. when i already experienced this alone. AND i have to be the one to take responsibility and make others aware about it. because it's not like he was going to... somebody had to. and oh, look, i'm the adult. that makes me somebody.

like i don't even want him to be "punished" per se. i just want to be assured that steps will be taken to stop him from objectifying more women and girls in the future. holy shit, WHAT if he does this to a girl his age? would he? i don't know. i don't know the kid well. i have an idea of why he targeted me, but i don't know what he wouldn't do to someone who was more of his equal. i can't speak for or predict that.

it's just fucking humiliating. hi yeah i'm the substitute from friday. yeah i'm the one he couldn't keep his hands off of. cuz i dared to wear a skirt. yeah, same skirt i've worn to work with kids a bajillion times in the past four years. yeah i guess i was just so seductive. like give me a break; i don't want to receive any more attention for this but it just feels like i'm gonna. i don't know what kind of response i'm going to get to the email i wrote the regular para.

i don't know if i'm gonna have to elaborate further. i feel like i shouldn't have to. i gave her all the details somewhat unemotionally; it just stings the more and more since i got out of work. like i just can't believe that really happened. and the shock was dulled while it was happening, because i didn't believe it was happening. the more hours go by the more i'm like, well, yeah, i did the right thing: escaping that situation as promptly as i could, telling another adult, and emailing the permanent teacher about it.

i keep wanting to act unaffected by it. but i'm just so offended and dismayed. i also feel powerless, because i couldn't be the one to get him to stop. something about my presence to him was an invitation to treat me that way, and my not being amused did not deter him. it feels like the interpretation he had of me was not at all in my control. he wanted to view me as an object, and so i was one in his eyes. the other teachers can scold him for that, make him feel bad for that, but i can't. i'm not really the authority. i'm just the pretty one.

im freaking out man cause i just went through the most whiplash-inducing emotional change i’ve had in a while. i was incredibly happy an hour ago and now im borderline suicidal & want to cvt myself, the change literally happening within a minute and it’s crazy cause nothing super bad has happened. my mam came back from being in england for three weeks with my grandad who granted does make me slightly uncomfortable (he likes to tell me how “gorgeous” and “smart” and “amazing” i am all the fucking time, with emphasis on the gorgeous part) but he’s only staying for a little while and like. i was excited for them to come an hour ago.

and yeah i did fuck smt up again and make a huge mess and my dogs and my grandad’s dog have been fighting aggressively so it’s logical for me to be overwhelmed but like this much? i feel stupid and broken and weak and i keep on almost crying but i don’t want to cry bcus i’d be crying over fucking nothing.

ik i’m probably just tired but im scared bcus i can’t stop thinking about how i wanna see my bf so bad but can’t cause he lives across the country and i wouldn’t know what to say to him anyway cause we’ve only met irl once and how i really really really don’t wanna go into that fucking building again i want to die every time i hate it they all hate me i hate it but i fucking have to and how my exams are coming up and i’m gonna fail them and my mam is gonna be so so mad and how i’m a girl and will always be a girl and i have to be feminine and womanly and my body is a symbol of sex and fertility and i’m gonna be objectified my whole life and how time is moving forward and won’t ever stop and nothing matters and how i miss my older sibling friend so so so so much and i love xim so so so so much and i jst wanna hug xim and rant to xim but i’ll probably never even see xim again and how i want need must cvt myself before i explode but i can’t because my dad stole my knife he stole it MY knife and it’s so fucking unfair i want to HURT him and how i need to see a therapist but when i finally do it probably won’t change or help anything cause it never fucking does cause idk how to talk to a therapist and how i can’t do anything right i always mess stuff up bcus im a freak and a coward and i’d be better off dead and how my grandma is gone forever and she isn’t ever coming back and i’ll never see her again and she won’t come to my wedding or graduation or see me transition or be able to tell me i’m her best friend anymore and how i still haven’t properly cried about her death even at the funeral because i had to be strong and i had to look after my mother and brother and sister and even when i saw her dead body i didn’t cry at least not how i wanted to i didn’t sob i didn’t scream i didn’t shout about how that’s not her where did she go just like how i didn’t scream that everything is closing in and making it hard to breathe and everything is getting more difficult when my year head asked how i was coping because she probably thinks i’m unstable and fucking crazy and how i’m growing older and that’s so scary and how am i going to cope alone when i can’t even cope while having everything paid and taken care of for me now? and i just i don’t want to do this shit anymore i don’t want it i don’t want it i hate it all, please let me go back to when i was a kid without these problems, please let me go back to when it was okay for me to cry about nothing and god fucking dammit i was happy an hour ago.

(Comments made by a good friend who pressured you into showing him your tits upon seeing them for the first time.)

"Holy shit, dude. Your boobs are huge! You were really hiding these the whole time? That must have hurt to squish 'em down that tight."

"Wait, wait, hold on. You've been taking T for how long? And your boobs are still this big? That's crazy! Just think of how big they'd be without that..."

"Are those really your nipples? They're so puffy and big! Is that, like, a side-effect of the hormones or... No, they're just naturally that big, huh? That's pretty wild. I kinda want to touch one. Is that weird to say?"

"...What was that? I've never heard you make a sound like that before... I just barely touched your nipple and... wow. These things must be crazy sensitive."

"Sorry, sorry, I know, I should have asked before I squeezed 'em like that but, fuck, I just had to try it, you know? I mean, when else am I gonna have a chance like this? They're crazy soft. I don't know how you deal with being so busty all the time."

"...Dude. I need you to be totally honest with me right now. Did you... Did you just cum? Like, no shame if you did, no judgement, I just... I wasn't expecting that. All it took was a little squeezing and you react like, well, like that. As long as we're being totally honest with each other, I, uh, I actually thought it was pretty hot... Hope that's not a super weird thing to say, hah."

"H-hah, how weird would it be if I just sucked on your udders right now? Boobs. Not udders, boobs. Udders? Pft, what a w-weird thing to call them, ahem. But, uh, I'm just gonna take a little taste. Yeah."

"F-fuck, man, I could get addicted to your tits. I think I already am. We're definitely gonna have to do this again. Here's your binder. I kinda like that you hide 'em. Makes it feel like it's our little secret, y'know?"

"Hey, uh, this might be kinda weird, since I know they probably give you all kinds of unpleasant feelings but... Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to be even bigger? Your boobs, I mean. Or if they made milk. I mean, that's what udd- boobs are for, right? I dunno, I just think it could be kinda hot."

God, I'd be such a mess. So embarrassed, squirming even, but I wouldn't be able to bring myself to stop him...

I can only imagine what would happen if his obsession with my tits grew. Constantly asking about them, commenting on them, pressuring me into showing them and pulling them out so he can grope them. Just objectifying me more and more for my fat tits...

TW: Potential csa, grooming, bdsm (unreasonable guilt?? Idk if i have to tw this)

Seeking: advice, validation/answer

So this is gonna be a 2 parts ask and I’m really sorry about the lenght of it but i have no one this ask these questions

So first situation: is it normal for my mother to joke about a teacher touching me (multiple times) as a kid? I have no memory of it (i would have been around 5-6) but she never stopped making jokes about it and saying how much of an imagination i had, she still jokes about it now, just way less. Is that normal? Can kids actually imagine being touched and then lie about it when they don’t even know what genitals are or is it possible that my mom is just mocking my csa? (She’s also always been very sexually weird towards me but that’s another topic)

Second situation: how can i get over the fear of being annoying to my bf? I’ll explain. Basically, i tend to cry sometimes after sex/sexual encounters (we’re LDR), for various reasons (sometimes it’s just being so in love it spills out but that one’s ok), and I’m scared that he’ll end up finding this annoying. I was groomed twice, to various degrees, sexually objectified my whole life, potentially went through csa as i said previously, went through emotional incest/have been my mom’s sex therapist since i was like 8, the whole package. So sometime very simple things can set me off (we’re also into bdsm, both because we like it and because being a sub and engaging into « forcing » kinks helps me a lot with my sexuality and regaining power/comfort in it, so sometimes an action or term that’s kind of « extreme » will set me off and sometimes not, which makes it hard to know what’s to completely avoid and what’s just a harder topic to deal with) and have me in a crying fit. He’s been through a rough sexual life and upbringing as well so i know he understands, but i can’t stop thinking that one day he’ll find it annoying or worse, but i can’t stop myself when it happens. I don’t want to stop our sex life. How can i get over the guilt and feeling that i am « ruining things » for him (even though he says that’s not true)?

Hi anon,

Firstly I'm so sorry for what you've been through. You never deserved to be treated in those ways. Also please know that there is no need to apologize for the length of this ask, this isn't the longest ask I've answered and even those anons have nothing to apologize for.

It's not normal for your mom to have joked about you being touched as a child. As your mother, she should've been concerned as it's not really a laughing matter, especially when it's about her own child being potentially harmed. I know my mom would've taken such an allegation in full seriousness no matter how old I was. It also wouldn't make sense to me for you to make up being touched before you even understood what that meant.

As for the second situation, as long as your relationship maintain healthy and stable communication, your fears may diminish. They may not completely go away because, as someone who can relate to this, it can be a perpetual fear as a result from trauma more than the current situation. In other words, even if your relationship is perfect, you may still have this worry about your partner leaving you in the back of your mind. To me, this is a way that my fear of abandonment manifests, so I wonder if that's something that resonates with you.

Ultimately, it's a matter of accepting that all relationships are temporary because nobody lives forever. It's not impossible that the relationship could potentially end in the future for whatever reason, but what's important is learning to still love and accept yourself in that scenario. That's definitely easier said than done.

I hope I could help. Please let us know if you need anything.

-Bun

Seriously, I want to speak up about something that bothers me so much... I did share my personal story never shared with anybody before. I thought was a nice idea to tell my experience was objectifying the idiot who made me feel uncomfortable. I do understand Jensen's feelings and share my story to show you are not alone. I want to help people out.

With all due respect, I hate Danneel. But holy shit your obsession hating Danneel out of the floor for seeing your guys are addicted to Danneel on your pages all time. I won't say bad about @Odayssincejensenwasobjectified. The only person I like and a person not toxic has an unhealthy obsession. I'm happy person posted that picture with Danneel and Jensen to show they had red flags during the early years of their relationship. I love Odayssincejensenwasobjectified for posting other tweets to prove Jensen is an unhealthy fan who only cares about him as a hot man. I think a person does an amazing job of showing the truth with proof every day.

The only thing I noticed, when Odayssincejensenwasobjectified was talking about Danneel, Jared, and drama gonna on with Jensen, y'all's jump when one of Odayssincejensenwasobjectified's posts is getting trending. But Odayssincejensenwasobjectified posting with no Danneel or no Jared in posts. I only see myself as liked and reported. Tell some people don't care about Jensen's feelings and see him as a person.

When I noticed that people didn't care person's feelings and emotions by making fun of fans was upset and crying about Jensen did cancelled Liverpool Comic and Scotland Comic. Need you to know I was one of them who was upset for crying all week after hearing their news. Y'know, why I am fucking human being who has emotional feelings was looking forward see Jensen. Ahead called me nut jobs and a big baby. I don't care about it. I want to be real and honest about what I am feeling. That was fucked up (won't see people's names) your guys making fun of fans like me and making us unhealthy fans who have mental illnesses. Sorry not mental illness, it's be a human being.

Other things I want to talk about. (I won't see any name) About how the same people care about Jensen for his feelings, and his well-being and care about him as a person, same people last year and before hearing about Jensen will be in Vought Rising. Your guys was making fun of Jensen, and bullying him. Y'all bitching about Jensen for everything he is doing. Y'all would say it's criticism and it's an opinion. But me? looks like y'all use those words are cover up your mean behaviour. I will stop here because I'm pissed off to see how fake and two faces y'all are. I don't say names. Because I don't want to cause drama. I don't care about anybody not bothering to read my posts after I know I am nobody important. Just I want to share my feelings and my opinion out here. Better to be real, honest and tell the truth.

And ignore how uncomfortable he looked and how disrespectful Danneel was to him in this photo shoot? Okay.🙄

[reallyromealone]

Despite (name) seemingly being the calmer one in the relationship, he was the one who threw the fuck down when need be.

And it was glorious.

When he learned that Billy was being shitty to little max again, he almost lost it on the blond.

"Baby I'm gonna shave his head when he sleeps" (name) said seriously to Eddie while cupping the brunettes cheeks lovingly "I will get a seam ripper and rip seams in all his clothing so they slowly fall apart while he wears them"

Eddie loved it when (name) was like this.

When he was an absolute menace.

"Put mashed potato mix in his gas tank..."

Eddie wanted to cackle at (name)s revenge plots as their little pup sat in his arms, completely unaware that his dam wanted to commit crimes for the sake of his packmate.

"I have no doubts in your abilities baby"

"Next time I see him I'm running him over"

"Baby remember the rules" Eddie chastised as he let his pup play with his ringed fingers "leave no evidence" (name) groaned "exactly so no car hitting"

"...fine..."

"Thank you"

Back in high school billy was down bad for (name), one of the few omegas in his opinion that were worth his time and he was always hella salty that (name) picked the freak over him and what could he say? He had a thing for Dilfs (dams id love to fuck) and (name) definitely fit that category now.

He's down to be that pups step dad he won't even try to deny.

The thing is (name) despised him deeply.

Like willing to commit a felony onto him.

And he almost had a few times.

He was terrifying and hot.

"Stop staring at me you pervert" (name) said with venom in his tone as he was halted by Billy in the grocery store, the man very much objectifying (name) to filth much to the omegas disgust.

"C'mon babydoll don't be like that" Billy said trying to flirt with the Omega who all but hissed at him "piss off sweaty"

"You wanna see me sweaty?"

"I will literally hit you with my car"

"I see something I wanna hit"

Billy leaned closer and that's when (name) had enough"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU PERVERT!" he yelled and everyone turned to look at the scene and Billy tisked as people began whispering amongst themselves because why was an alpha harrassing an Omega and their pup? Billy gave him one last look before leaving the store.

Finishing up his shopping he went to customer service in the grocery shop and borrowed their phone and called Eddie to come get him, he didn't feel safe at the moment.

Eddie came in record time and immediately went and checked on his Omega and pup "I got extra sugar..." (Name) mumbled and Eddie looked confused "gonna fucking ruin that car"

"And I won't stop you angel"

Eddie drove (name) home, helping him unpack before grabbing the baby bag "what are you doing?" (Name) asked curiously "you're coming with me to the shop" Eddie's alpha instincts were going wild at this point and didn't want (name) alone and the Omega didn't stop him.

"What's (name) doing here?" Dustin asked curiositly as the couple walked into the store, it was winter break so all the pups were here ((name) didn't care that they were around sixteen at this point, they were still babies go him) "Billy tried hitting on me at the grocery store and Eddie doesn't want me alone" (name) said simply as he went and sat down beside his little brother, (sons name) babbling excitedly at his uncle "are you alright?" Max asked worriedly to the older Omega and (name) just smiled sweetly "I am but he won't be"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't worry about it little Sparrow"

And no one dared ask further questions as (name) turned his attention to the game table"so what are you guys doing?"

"Working on a campaign for new years"

"Interesting... Oh! I need you guys to come over tomorrow to get your Christmas gifts" (name) said suddenly"except for you dusty, you can wait"

The Hendersons and Munson families were having one big Christmas at (name) and Eddies house and (name) and Eddie had that shit planned.

The two would prep any foods that didn't need to be cooked day of the night before and wake up nice and early to start the meal and dessert.

It was their first Christmas with (sons name) and they did go overboard for him they won't deny.

The rest of the day was spent with Eddie at work, helping him with orders and inventory as their pup hung out with his many aunts and uncles.

The next morning though apparently Billy was pissed and hunting down whoever put sugar in his gas tank.

He never figured it out.

Chapter 152 Expert Review: The Super-Duper Work From Home Edition!!

I don’t know how to make an intro. I shouldn’t have made that the format for my chapter reviews. I’m working while writing this and some old lady has been on the phone for 10 minutes (so far) telling me about how the undesirables in her neighborhood leave trash everywhere and it’s against company policy to interrupt clients so I’m gonna try and crank this one out before she grows a conscience and hangs up on me.

Legend has it: if you punch Psykos’ watermelon tits, they’ll pop like that one clown bitch from Phoenix Wright.

Murata heard my cry to stop the horny Psychic Sisters covers and decided to make a horny Psychic Cousin-Twice-Removed cover. Which is ironic because I’m pretty sure we haven’t seen Psykos in the manga for like 10 chapters or, in professional terms: 3-5 business years.

She’s hot though. I don’t know how her eyebrows do that. Her brow-bone doubles as her hairline for maximum efficiency!

Local man does the most gaslighting and manipulating and girlbossing in the world by simply just Standing There Menacingly.

I think King’s plot armor is the best thing in the whole series. I hope he never gets found out and this just continues for another ten years because there’s nothing funnier than the cadres shitting themselves over just Some Dude because they think he’s gonna murder everyone with his little Xbox controller hands or something. Help! The white dude with the flannel is gonna fucking end all our shit!

It’s hilarious. He’s a great character. I love him. I want his children. I hope Homeless Emperor goes straight to hell.

Homeless Emperor goes straight to hell.

Putting my face up real close to my computer screen and objectifying the living shit out of Zombieman. I know he’s probably got rocks under his foreskin from tunneling in the ground for 10 straight chapters but that’s a risk I’m willing to take. If I get a bacterial ass infection that nearly kills me, then that’s just what happens baby!! I will die living.

I love the Sanzu River line, although I do think the “flying up to heaven” or whatever one was a bit better. I don’t really know why they changed that but regardless… it’s really funny. Like, I know there’s a chance that this is actually supposed to be a Cool Dramatic moment but I mean… brother you’ve got your dick out and your hand on another man’s throat how am I not supposed to laugh (or get flustered). This is outrageous.

There’s also a chance that, and this is a great interpretation that Kiyoko told me about, Zombieman actually is joking to put Child Emperor at ease. I think that’s actually how we’re supposed to interpret this?? If not, I don’t care; dad joke Zombieman is canon and he always will be. He’s so. He’s so. I want . I want him. He probably tastes like dish soap and smells like the shit sandwich between a horse’s asscheeks but man….

Let’s put all our faith in this One Dude who we’ve never seen fight before and just assume he’s got a major laser death beam for some reason? Saying CE got a brain fart is underestimating it, he straight up had wet brain diarrhea.

This bugs me a bit! Child Emperor definitely has a satellite but doesn’t wanna use it because.. it runs the risk of being hacked? IMO, I think relying on the abilities of one dude, whom you’ve never even seen fight before, is an even bigger risk?? And to top it all off… be hacked by who? The Monster Association is in shambles. All cadres are visibly above ground—fighting or incapacitated,—the leader is also incapacitated(?), and all lower ranks have either died or scattered. The base is in shambles, Tatsumaki spun the earth like some goddamned spaghetti so all electricity has been cut off, and I’m pretty sure even if there was a shit-eating hacker monster or whatever somewhere in the midst of all this with a quintuple monitor setup, they wouldn’t be able to crack shit in the time it’ll take CE to mow down the rest of the combatants above ground.

And even moreso: using the satellite wouldn��t put King at risk. Putting all the weight on his shoulders to eliminate everything above-ground and not even try to lay down suppression fire is a recipe for disaster. A much better plan would’ve been to just use King as a distraction and maybe let him use his whatever hyperbeam (that CE isn’t even sure he has) and then use the satellite as main event to minimize collateral.

Bit of an oversight in my opinion. I think ONE just really needed a reason to get King even deeper in the shit so he had to take some liberties here and have CE make yet another bad “in the moment” decision. It’s not really that big of a deal, but I just think there’s been a lot of missed opportunities to nail home CE’s genius thinking, because so far pretty much all we have to show for his intelligence is his ingenuity. He had to be chosen as leader for a reason. Give him one good decision!! Give him some wisdom!!

Badd canonically has one brain cell 🥰🥰 fucking stupid dumbass shithead 🥰🥰❤️😩😩 I love him so much 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️ dumb bitch.

I like how he stopped fighting for a second to ask what was wrong with Black Sperm (there’s a joke to be made about Male Tears here). Even when Badd is about to end this guy’s shit, he’s still so empathetic. 🥰🥰

I also love how canonically everyone thinks he’s dumb. He’s not dumb, but that’s just what you fucking get for working full time from age 14 and (supposedly) failing high school. Imagine being this motherfucker. Beating up monsters during your 30-minute lunch break and then going to Algebra 1 smelling like hotdog water and blood.

He’s out here, in City Z:

No water

No bitches

Still got a fresh concussion from getting his shit rocked at the hands of Garou OnePunchMan

Behind on 87 assignments, an oral exam, and a PowerPoint presentation

After abandoning his little sister to *checks notes* find Garou and end his shit. Somehow.

Oh, and by the way Zenko is still chilling in the hospital

He’s still wearing a tucked-in turtleneck and belt after all this.

He also redid his hair. (You can’t fight crime if you ain’t cute!)

I AM SPEED.

Yeah, so I think Black Sperm’s new form is a speed demon. He just looks fast ok! I think we’re setting up for a Flashy Flash confrontation, since (presumably, idk) he and Saitama are still chilling in the Phantom Zone or whatever. If not, I’d love for Garou to reach peak form and throw Platinum Sperm against the wall 97 times. I’m just so tired of this little rat motherfucker. I mean that lovingly. Black Sperm is a funny fucking character.

In conclusion: the lady on the phone didn’t hang up until my Child Emperor mini-rant. It has been twenty-two minutes. I hate this fucking job.

Oh yeah, and uh. Don’t lie on your resume or else a ten year-old is gonna expect you to murder some of earth’s most powerful motherfuckers with just your bare hands and the laser powers you don’t have. That’s all, thanks.

In Death Note, you know the part where the L placed spy cams everywhere within Yagami’s house?

What if Light and his girlfriend start doing the deeds to look like normal hormones teens?

YES OMG i’ve actually thought of this before so i’m so glad someone requested it LMFAO

> warnings: swearing, smut, degradation, sir kink, kind of exhibition??

  Light tossed his backpack onto his bed, loosening his red tie before collapsing onto the bed himself, letting his exhaustion express itself in the most natural way he thought possible. It’s hard to act natural when you’re being watched; you almost forget every aspect of your daily routine, putting excessive thought into typically mindless tasks like walking around your house or laying on your bed to the point of obviousness. 

“Light, wanna play video games?” Ryuk asked, standing before the boy.

Light fell back onto his bed, placing his hands behind his shoulders with a deep sigh. Closing his eyes, he prepared for the performance he’d have to put on. How could he ignore Ryuk without giving off reactions to the shinigami’s words, tilts of the head or instinctive hums of agreement that could incriminate himself in a matter of seconds.

“You listening? Hello?” 

Light only ignored him, grabbing a long beige coat from the closet before heading outside, Ryuk following close behind.

“Hey, Light, what’s with the brushing off? I’m starting to get annoyed.”

He popped his collar and rolled up his sleeves, checking meticulously for any bits of wire or chips of plastic that could be audio bugging him. 

“Light! Hey!” Ryuk wined.

“There might be secret hidden cameras around the house,” The brunette broke the silence, his voice in a slightly raspy lowered tone, almost a whisper, “Or microphones, probably both.” He explained, going on to detail his clever methods of finding out if someone had been in his room- or if someone had opened his door, at least.

“Let’s go on a camera hunt! You got a plan after that?” Ryuk asks.

“Simple, make it seem like I have no idea the cameras are even there, and that I’m just a normal teenager. I’ll probably need some excuse for why I have that paper and lead in my door, they’ll want to know why I don’t want anyone in my room, what I’m hiding, and if the footage reveals I’m hiding absolutely nothing, that’ll look even more suspicious. Every teenager has secrets.”

“So what’ll you do?”

“You’ll see.”

                               _______________________________

“This feels objectifying, Yagami.” 

You walk down the street leading to your boyfriend’s house, accompanied by the man himself as he explains his, quite frankly, pervy plan.

“Objectifying? We have sex all the time, Y/N.”

“Yeah, but nobody plans out when they’re gonna fuck. It’s just weird.”

“Hey,” Light stops walking, facing towards you as he gently lifts your chin with his thumb and index finger. The feeling made you melt, and he knew that very well. The way Light held your face and looked at you like you were the only thing on earth felt exhilarating, he could tell you anything in that position and you’d believe it. And that’s just what he does, constantly. “This is not an option, this isn’t personal business. This is about Kira. This is going to throw suspicion off me, okay? Do it. For me.”

You sighed deeply. He had you the moment he held your chin like that. “And there won’t be any explicit footage of us? There won’t be a camera like, right there?”

“I don’t know where all the cameras are, but there aren’t many like that in my room at all, we’ll be safe.” He lied, a practice that came so easily to him he no longer viewed it as morally wrong. It was just something he did, like going to school and eating dinner or doing homework, he also lied.

“Okay.” You agreed with a smile, prompting him to release his grasp on you and continue the walk home.

“I didn’t realize he went through such great lengths...might there be something in his room that he doesn’t want anyone to see?” Soichiro Yagami remarked, watching Light fiddle with the thin strip of paper in the doorway and the piece of lead in the hinges as you stood patiently behind him.

“Well, considering he’s 17, it isn’t all that unusual. I’ve done it myself, for no reason at all.” L responds, “I am a bit curious, though, as to what he’s hiding so admently.”

You enter Light’s bedroom with him, shutting the door behind you as you watch him toss his bag down besides his bed. 

“Y/N, are you scared of me?” He turns to face you.

“Hm? Why would I be.”

“L, the best detective in the world, thinks I’m Kira when I’m not.”

Oh, Light.

“He makes me out to be some kind of monster,” He continues, “I’m worried you’ll start to believe him.”

“I’m not scared.”

“Maybe you should be.”

“Huh?”

Before you could register his comment, Light lunges for you, tossing you onto his bed before tickling your stomach and sides.

‘L-Light! St-stop! Please!” You cried between giggles.

“Make me.”

Understanding, you connect your lips to his, causing his hands to rub up and down where he previously tickled you. You moaned into the kiss as Light pushed harder into it, his desperation showing. You wished he would take his time, but you knew the real reason you were here. His hands slid down to your lower half, pushing his hand inside your pants and rubbing your clit through your panties. You gasped, hand reaching up to grab his wrist reflexively. He let out a chuckle. 

Impatiently, he stood up straight, unbuttoning your pants before slipping them completely off along with your panties, leaving you in only your t-shirt on his bed.

“I figured,” L sighed, “You can close your eyes if you’d like, Yagami-san, but I’m afraid I need you here for legal purposes.”

Light crouched down onto the floor, lifting your legs to lay bent on his shoulders. Teasingly, he licked a line down your slit, earning a gasp from you. He straightened himself out again, moving towards your face. “L is watching,” He whispered, his hot breath on your ear, “Put on a show.” He smirked.

Watching? Had Light lied?

Light lowered himself back down to push his tongue inside you. His tongue wriggled around, exploring your walls with lust.

“Oh, Light” You moaned, slapping your hand over your mouth to muffle the sound. You knew L, you knew the whole task force for that matter. Your face flushed with embarrassment imagining any of them reviewing this footage and hearing your moans. Hell, Light’s dad worked with L, he could be watching for all you knew.

You jolted at the sudden sting of Light smacking your thigh with an open palm. “Don’t hold back, angel, and don’t cover your mouth. I want to hear all your pretty moans.” He said, removing himself from your core before pressing his lips almost to your ear again, lowering his voice to a whisper, “I want L to see how good I make you feel. Got it?”

You faintly nodded before he returned to your heat, dipping his tongue inside once again while his thumb felt your clit, rubbing it in circles. You knot your fingers through his brown hair, bringing his face closer to your pussy with a moan. He sped up his actions, practically abusing your clit while his tongue hit your g-spot, curling sightly upwords inside of you.

“Fuck, Light, I can’t, I’m gonna...”

With that, Light pulled away, leaving you edged and wanting more. You pouted, sticking your lip out with a whine. Light, having none of it, roughly raked his hand through your hair, forcing you up close to his face by your scalp. “You listen to me.” He growled, the heat of his breath warming your face, “No whining, and no disobeying. Got that?” He yanked your hair with the last syllable for emphasis. You let out a weak “Mhm.” 

He shoved you to the bed chest-first by your hair, never letting his fingers leave your locks. 

“Ass up.” He commanded, you obliged slowly, legs feeling a bit sore from him eating you out.

Hastily he unbuckled his belt before folding it in half, smacking your ass with it leaving a slight red mark. “When I tell you to do something, you do it quickly.”

“Yes Light.”

You yelped as he smacked you again with the belt in the same place, the stinging leaving your ass feel like it was burning. 

“Yes who?” He asked.

“Yes sir.”

“Atta girl.” He pushed his khakis fully down before aligning himself with your entrance, rubbing his head up and down your slit teasingly.

“Sir please...” You begged.

“Please what? Say it.”

“Please, please fuck me sir. I want your cock, please.” 

“Well, only since you asked so nicely.” Light slid himself into you with a groan. Slowly, he rocked himself into you. 

“F-faster, please sir. Faster.” You moaned, gripping onto the sheets.

Light obliged right away, almost as if he was waiting for you to ask for it. He quicked his speed, pounding into you mercilessly. He licked his lips, relishing in the loud slew of moans and curses spilling from your mouth as he fucked you.

“Look at you, you fucking slut. Begging for me to go faster. You’re so goddamn desperate for my cock, you dirty whore.”

You couldn’t help but moan at his words, though degrading, the fact that Light liked you at all made you feel worth something. Light Yagami, Kira, the god of the new world, liked you. Though you’d never admit it to the stubborn boy, he could say almost anything to you, about you, and you’d still love him.

“Fuck, Y/N, you’re so tight.” He knotted his fingers back into your hair for stability as he thrusted into you even faster, burying himself deep into you.

“Oh my god, fuck, Light- sir, it’s so good.” You cried, feeling your orgasm creeping up once again. “I’m gonna...”

“Do it, come for me angel.” He encouraged, bringing his free hand up to play with your clit. The stimulation sent you over the edge. “Oh fuck, oh my god, fuck you feel so good.” You came loudly, only a little before Light did as well.

L watched Light collapsed beside you on the bed, only the sound of your breathless pants escaping the monitor. “Uh, they’re done, Yagami-san. You can...open your eyes again. Honestly, this security footage may be useless now, at the very least we cannot bring it to court, considering your son and his girlfriend are both 17. Perhaps this was his plan along.”

“You’re saying this makes you more sure he’s Kira?!” Soichiro raised his voice.

“Well, it definitely raises my suspicions.”

Light finally stood up, tucking himself back into his jeans. Before you could pull your bottoms back up, he picked up your panties from the floor, playfully spinning them around his index finger. “You won’t be missing these, will you?” He asks sarcastically, tossing them into the drawer in his bedside table. 

“Ah, so that’s what he’s hiding. A valid excuse to not want family in your room but... unexpected, to say the least.” L remarked, still somehow watching the cameras.

tuesday again 9/20/2022

it's been a minute since i gave a refresher on what the fuck these posts/this series is. not bc anyone was a dick lately, i just think it's good to insert handy entry points into a long-running series on occasion. i think this post where i read a whole bunch of pulp detective fiction is most representative of the series as a whole (and is one that came together in a very satisfying way/one of the entries i am happiest with)

what the fuck this is

this is an incentivized way to get me to listen to new music, read something, watch something, play something, and make something every week bc if i do a variety of enrichment i am noticeably better able to cope with uhhhhh Life. it's also a way to curb some of the perfectionism bc there is a hard fucking deadline every week.

what the fuck this is not

this is not a critical series, nor is this a recommendation series, although there are elements of critique and you may decide to consume some art based on my description of it. i cannot legally or physically stop you. this is more of a journal than anything else.

elements i have in the back of my mind when i draft these things on sunday afternoons include: what's the pitch for this thing/what is it? does it accomplish the artistic goal i think it's trying to make? a work can be beautiful, and i can recognize its value and be glad it exists in the world and also hate it, so do i personally like the way it does or does not accomplish its goals? how did i find out about this work? lastly is it sick as shit?

listening pretty boy by poutyface. i get kind of excited when i hear a song that objectifies a Type of Guy bc i feel like there's maaaaybe one of these for every hundred thousand that objectifies a Type of Girl. it's now on a playlist i call "SOMEBODY COME FUCK THIS (GAY)"

this is alt/indie, for the scene in a mid-aughts high school movie where the alt girl is falling in love with a skinny nerd and is driving around suburbia thinking about him. lyrics remind me a little bit of Doja Cat, and i was gratified to find an interview where she's cited as inspiration bc i like being right

To be honest, I've been gunning for the girls So if it's gonna be a boy, it's gonna be a boy who twirls All that "bro" - got me bored, yeah, I've seen it all before But, I've never seen a boy dressed up in pearls

the other thing stuck in my head is Guilty as Charged by Moderator. this whole album is super fun but my favorite track is this one, slinky and danceable. my weakness is a song that samples an unexpected source (here i thiiiiink Monty Python and the Holy Grail?). here this review says it better than i can:

...eclectic taste in sounds and influences and thirdly his firm belief that using breakbeats and a dusty jazz sample doesn’t automatically require you to turn in a 70 bpm stoner groove....Wish I Was Dead picks up the pace pitting fat mid tempo drums against Cab Calloway-ish jazz samples before Guilty As Charged drops a huge Wiseguys-style Latin-influenced breakbeat bounce.

both these are off the spotify For You playlist, bc i did a lot of driving for work last week and didn't really have time to make a custom playlist.

reading continually fascinated by things pushing the limits of 1) electronics miniaturization and 2) crime. it's extremely unlikely you'll run into one of these puppies in real life but they are fun to think about in a semi-horrified fashion

this is half the height of a united states dime, btw. if you even care. BOY do i love a gadget.

watching i watched the s/andman. i have a lot of thoughts about the s/andman. this is more me working through a lot of thoughts and feelings than actual thoughts about the show.

i don't have a lot of close friends who are straight dudes. i don't have a lot of close friends who started out as straight dudes either. the one straight dude i was actually close friends with in 2011 in high school introduced me to the works of neilman and started by gently bullying me into reading these. i had an exceptionally bad time in high school, through no fault of this man. we also don't talk much in the current day, again through no fault of this man.

my thoughts and feelings about s/andman the product are therefore wrapped up in who i was and things that were happening in my life when i read the comics. the first time i read them, it was through trial and duress and many interlibrary loans in 2011. i made my dad buy me the first two giant omnibi editions over two christmases and lugged them around throughout college when i was moving twice a year and living out of suitcases. not my photo

reading these comics, with their nineties #representation, felt very revolutionary and daring in the republican suburbs of central jersey. they definitely started me on the way to unlearning a whole bunch of shit. however, i do wish neilman had continued being at the forefront of more and more interesting and daring #representation. i think you can enjoy all the shows based on his work, acknowledge their source material was written decades ago, and be lightly annoyed with him (an extremely active and involved producer by all accounts) for not adapting them in a bolder way to these modern times.

a different but related thing: i really love the concepts of neilman's books but rarely their execution, even though i think he's a perfectly fine prose writer. i enjoy heavily referential and allusive works bc i feel really smart when i catch a reference. i like feeling smart and well-read, even though i personally find most of the references in the comics to be name-drops rather than like, putting the name-dropped thing in a very different context and imagining it in a different context to give it new meaning. to be fair this is a very difficult literary device for me, an amateur, to execute. idk

the actual show: the s/andman is excellently made, very competent television that knew when to deploy its cliffhangers. this feels like a backhanded compliment but i don't know how to phrase it different. i think neilman is a far better television writer than a prose one. i enjoyed watching it! it was fun to watch! the performances really carried a lot of lines that are very silly in print! i'm not going to remember very much of it by next week. i am particularly irritated by the current-day meta around the show (specifically the co/rinthian, bc i think ppl are reading in a lot of things that simply aren't fucking there), but at the same time i do not care enough to go looking for more meta. these transitions did whip tho

my thoughts and feelings about neilman's specific body of work in this one setting: a land of contrasts

playing fallow week

-

making nothing more than wiping down new acquisitions (some board games, a mirror). wrote a bit about my concept of literary/film/artistic criticism while trying to work through my thoughts about the watching section. this post would have been fucking unreadable if i had all that in this one post and both of them individually are really stretching the limits of attention here on this webbed site.

ppl have also been asking for the masterlist of cowboy movies i enjoyed so here's that again. the notes are crucial to your understanding of my thought process
