Hellooo
Congrats on your 1K!!!đđđ
I discovered you blog recently and I am HOOKED, your writing is so tasty and fluid that I just keep going â§â ââ (â â°â âżâ â°â )â ââ â§
I Hope you dont get too tired with requests, take breaks and drink water!!!
Ok for the actual ask, may I have a dialogue 19 with Eyedress, and if it were suggestive it would be perfect
Preferably Ruggieđ you can choose the other 2 (If you even want to)
ruggie bucchi x gn!reader [tags] â suggestive, tiny bit of hurt but not really [wc} - 1, 025 prompt 19 âI try to find a reason to pull us apart"â song: Kiss Me Like Itâs the First Time (Eyedress, âLet's Skip to the Weddingâ) note - Ruggie canonically calls you a puppy. take that with what you will. francesca (1k event)
âKiss me like it's the last time/ You'll fall in love / I always want your loveâ
Ruggie knows that compared to everyone else on campus, he was the bottom of the barrel. He wasnât a prince, an heir to a fortune, or even from a well-off family. Sure, his Grandma was a wonderful lady, maybe a bit strict growing up, but besides her and their home, Ruggie didnât have much to offer. Maybe if you werenât in such a bad spot, if you had a good family here, if you hadnât been plucked from your world with nothing but the clothes on your back, heâd be happy to call you his own.Â
But he canât. How can he when you have people willing to drop thousands of thaumarks on you like itâs nothing. Literally! He was listening to Kalim run his mouth as he talked about renovating Ramshackle to your preference.Â
âOh! And we can get you quartz countertops! What kind of colors do you like, I can have it made to your favorite aesthetic! Ooh, what if we replaced all the appliances to match it? The kitchen back home has a gas stove built into the countertop, we can replaceââ
âUh, Iâd need gas for that though, right?â You laughed, splayed across Ruggie as you two lay in your bed. Kalim was on video call with you, having gone back home for the weekend for some sort of event. Youâd been complaining about one of your kitchen cabinets breaking and letting your few plates tumble out. Thank the Seven that they were plastic dishes.Â
Kalim being, well, Kalim, immediately went into a tangent about adding in a gas line to your dorm and adding this and that. Everyone was acutely aware that Kalim, as generous and kind as he was, was especially sweet on you. There were even some rumors that he had a crush on you, something that made Ruggie feel ill.Â
You just laughed off Kalim as he continued to whine about fixing up the dorm. You ended the call as you cheerfully told Kailm goodnight.Â
âDo whatever you want Kalim, I wonât complain about free renovations! Good night, say bye Rugs.â
âHmm? Oh, bye Kalim.â Ruggie gave Kalim a small smile and wave, who returned it with a beaming grin.Â
After a few more words between you and Kalim, you finally ended the video call, tossing your phone to the night stand, and moving to straddle Ruggieâs hips.Â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Ruggie blinked up at you in confusion. âWhat?â
âWhatâs wrong? Your ears are flat, they only go flat when youâre upset.â Ruggie whimpered as you leaned down to flutter kisses down his throat, shuddering as you pressed your teeth against his Adam's apple.Â
âYou wanna tell me whatâs wrong? You jealous?âÂ
âMmh, no Iâm justâaaaAAAaaaAhH!â Ruggie yelped as you dug your teeth into the nape of his neck, suckling until you were satisfied with the bruising red mark forming on his skin.Â
âGeez, give a guy a warning, wonât ya?â Ruggie let out a breathless chuckle, his chest rumbling as he purred from each kiss you pressed up your neck as you hovered over his lips. âYouâre nothing but trouble, Puppy.â
âAnd yet, you love this trouble, donât you?â The sound of your kissing, mixed with gasps and sighs from both of you echoed in the room.
âNow tell me,â Ruggie tried following your lips as you pulled away, but you kept him pinned to the bed. By now, youâd managed to throw his shirt across the room and traced your nails down Ruggieâs chest. âWhy are you upset? Was it Kalimâs call? You know, he just likes to say hi sometimes.â
Ruggie pinned his ears flatter against his head, huffing as he looked to the side, though be traced his hands up and down your arms.Â
âNothinâ, itâs just that Kalim sure likes to spoil ya. You know?â
You hummed, waiting for him to keep going.Â
âIâm just saying, heâs really sweet on you. Maybe you should consider taking advantage and marrying the guy!â Ruggie laughed, though it sounded forced.Â
He stopped as you clicked your tongue, leaning back down to bite at his cheek.Â
âHey! You know your teeth arenât really sharp enough for that.â Ruggie chuckled as you stopped and pouted, looking up at him as you batted your eyelashes.Â
âHmph, itâs like you just wanna get rid of me.â
âThatâs not what I meantââ
âThatâs what it sounds like!â You argued, huffing into his neck as you pushed yourself against his chest and neck, like you were trying to mold yourself to him. âYou always do this. If I didnât want to be with you, I wouldâve left alreadyâŚâ
Ruggie sighed, rubbing the skin between your shirt and bottoms with his thumbs. âI know, I know. I just think that you oughta take advantage. Kalimâs not the only one, and youâre all by yourself here! Get yourself a rich boyfriend, and youâre set for life!â
You suddenly grabbed the back of his head, pulling at his hair to make Ruggie expose his neck again. He whimpered at the rough touch, though his tail was wagging rapidly against the sheets.Â
âAnd why would I do that?â His hand slid under your shirt and up your spine. He gently scratched your back as you shuddered into his touch. âWhen I have such a lovely boyfriend?â
Lips molded against each other, teeth clashed, and hips rolled as Ruggie, once again, failed to push you away. Instead, as he slipped your shirt off and moved to give you your own love bites and hickeys, Ruggie moved to bring your bodies closer together. Ruggie let himself lose himself in you once again, and would continue to do so. Again and again, until he found another half-hearted excuse.Â
But for now?Â
You pulled away again, breathless and flushed. âI just want to spoil my hardworking hyena, wonât you let your Puppy do that?â The down right heady tone in your voice, in that low, soft whine, made him hot in all the right places. Ruggie nodded, giving you the okay to wreck him.Â
For now, heâll indulge, shamelessly, in you. As long as youâll continue to have him.Â

PAC: How you see your appearance vs how other people percieve your beauty đ¤
Please feel free to leave a tip $$$
"I see your true colors shining through. . . And that's why I love you đ"
Pile 1:
Shufflemancy -
Platform Shoes by Slayyyter
Splish Splash by DreamDoll ft. Cupcakke
Say Yes To Heaven by Lana Del Rey
Ace of Water, The Emperor, & Seven of Water "Illusion"
You are just tooooo cute, Pile 1 đ! Literally the embodiment of sugar, spice, and everything nice. I feel like you are a very cute and adorable person. Your appearance could be feminine and clean. I'm thinking of the pink, coquette aesthetic. I also see glossy lips, nail sets, and long eyelashes (you could wear extensions or need to go get them filled in again). You see yourself as gentle and caring. You may think you are fragile or dainty? Or resemble characters from those 2000s movies or you remind people of a novel love interest. Your style could be either soft, mcbling, or y2k, possibly a mixture of them all. You could use like childhood movies, stuffed animals, or shopping for comfort or as a coping method. There is also something unique about your appearance, perhaps you have beauty mark, freckles, a crooked tooth, round cheeks, etc. You have something that makes you stand out! Which is really cool :D! How people percieve your beauty - they think you are unreal somehow? They think you are like "Hollywood star" beauty. Even though you are not "perfect" it makes you likeable and relatable. For those who have a social media influence or popular regarding to their school, hometown, etc. Some might even wonder if you had plastic surgery done. Also for those wondering if you'd look good with plastic surgery - yes you would! I'm not seeing anything too extreme as regards to plastic surgery but for those who like the "bimbo" look they could totally rock it. Or you are able to transform yourself with makeup. People who identify as more masculine or men find you so attractive. You could be popular amongst mascfems, studs, or men who are comfortable with their masculinity. It's giving "my girl can wear whatever she wants because I know how to fight". For any men reading this 𼰠I feel like people are so in awe or you! Like you would be the prettiest man anyone has ever seen in their life. (Clarified by The Moon. Faking It by Sasha Alex Sloan). Aw you really are a sensitive person deep down, pile 1. I feel like not many get to see you when you are down or know about the late nights you stayed up crying. You may have had your heart broken before or had your heart broken by someone more than once (I'm so sorry :(!). I feel like when you have your moments of depression or feel sadness you feel really self conscious. So you could use makeup as a mask to cover to what you're feeling down. You don't have to fake a smile or portray being happy, baby. Try to practice some self care and focus on your inner beauty when you feel deep down. Spend time with a trusted friend and tell then what's been on your mind. Practicing affirmations and mirror work can also help past wounds. Take care of that precious, tenderheart of yours my little carebear đť!
Pile 2:
Shufflemancy -
I Am Who Am (Killin' Time) by Mac Miller ft. Niko Randa
Wake Up by Logic ft. Lucy Rose
Wife You Up by Russ
King of Fire, Adjustment, & The Sun
Pile 2, I feel that you are a natural beauty! You're not one for wearing lots of makeup or styling your hair too much. I see that you just really like to be comfortable. For how you view yourself, you could really like your facial structure :)! Your cheekbones might be defined or you have a nice jawline. On a typical day to day, your everyday style would consist of your hair pulled up into a ponytail or bun, wearing sweats, or a t shirt and jeans. You could also be a hard worker or your job requires you to have shifts early in the morning. For some of you in this pile, you could work in a cafĂŠ and make coffee, tea, boba, smoothies, or anything to do with drinks. People at your job love coming to you because you give great customer service. Also they see you as "girl/boy next door type". A friendly, good citizen. For how others percieve your beauty - they think your features are balanced and harmonious. Perhaps your face is quite symmetrical or your beauty feels familiar. You also have a very radiant smile or your laugh could be unexpected! You are a very bright and charming person âď¸! (Clarified by Four of Earth "Stability". Baby Girl by Chloe x Halle) I feel that you have been putting off a dream or haven't been paying attention to your inner child. pile 2. What have you done for yourself lately? You should take a break and focus on doing some fun activities to take care of your spirit. You are very generous towards others but seem to neglect your own needs sometimes! Try to go for a nice walk or be in nature, it'll do you some good! Also don't be afraid of being silly, you don't have to be so serious all the time. Perhaps doing volunteer work at a children's school or museum could let your playful side come out to play. Your inner child also wants to do some coloring or dancing. For some people in this pile, leap frog could be significant or a favorite childhood game đ¸.
Pile 3:
Shufflemancy -
Stretch You Out by Summer Walker ft. A Boogie Wit da Hoodie
Masquerade by Siouxxie Sixxsta
Test Drive by Ariana Grande
Two of Earth "Change", Nine of Water "Joy", & Nine of Earth "Gain"
This pile is very specific. I'm seeing dark hair, dark eyes, and fair to medium skintones. Your hair could be straight and black or dark brown (some of you have dyed your hair a wine red). Your eyes are almond shaped and your eyebrows are arched. If you identify as feminine, you really give off like 2014 ig baddie vibes, pile 3! Some of you could be black, Hispanic/Latin, or Southeast Asian descent. I'm reminded of those tiktoks of girls doing "chicana" makeup, so that could be how you like to do your makeup. For the fellas, you could have nice eyebrows, and a moustache that compliments your full lips. I feel very strongly that you have Scorpio, Sagittarius, or Virgo in your big 3. For how you view yourself, you don't like to stick with one look, you are always changing up your appearance đ. I feel like when you are sticking to one thing for too long you're like "ugh I need to dye my hair" or "I need a new tattoo". You always have a different style. You like to switch it up every now and then. For how others see your beauty, they see you as very abundant! You may wear high quality jewelry (diamond earrings, gold necklace, etc.), luxury brands, and expensive shoes (some people here are sneakerheads đ). They could admire as well that you're generous with your wealth and you could do a lot or provide for your family. (Clarified by Four of Water "Comfort". Again by P-Lo, E-40, & LaRussell). Some of you could like to party?! LMAO. In my card there is otters here and I feel that you have a group of friends that you hang out with on a daily basis. Some of you could like to go out clubbing and enjoy drinking alcohol? đ You usually have to be responsible in your family but with your friends you get to be the one who can be reckless instead. There's something about a car so if that doesn't resonate with you, either you or your friend take turns being designated drivers. Be careful when driving, pile 3! Have fun rolling with the homies đ
Pile 4:
Shufflemancy -
Unique by Miliyah
Smoke Weed Eat P*ssy by Ăngie
Roof by Rico Nasty
Four of Fire "Perfection", Ace of Earth, & Four of Air of "Truce"
Pile 4, you are really confident in yourself! I'm seeing that you don't really care what other thinks about how you look and live to please yourself. Your style could be alternative, you have bangs, and your hair has layers. Perhaps you have a mullet, curtain bangs, or a feathered layers. Some of you have your hair dyed with highlights such as green, blue, blonde, etc. For your makeup, your eyeliner could have a thick wing, or you have a signature smokey eye look. You could also like to have wear faux freckles or you have actual freckles. Your lips could often be seen with black lip liner and a signature cherry red lipstick. You could have piercings, I'm seeing specifically a septum piercing, snake bites, or gauges. There could also be a tattoo on your shoulder, forearm, or back, even possibly a sleeve. There could be Aries, Taurus, or Aquarius in your big 3 as well. You could also be apart of the LGBTQ+ community. How people perceive your beauty is that you have a tough exterior but deep down you are a calm and peaceful person. Which is interesting in comparison to your appearance. Your aura is comforting and nice to be around :D! (Clarified by Six of Fire "Success". Falling for U by Peachy!, MXMTOON) This is so cute đĽş! So there is someone who secretly has a crush on you or you have some secret admirers. Possibly someone in your friend or group you interact with on a daily basis. They are super shy around you and wish they could tell you how pretty/handsome that you are âşď¸. If you already know who this is and feel the same way, perhaps encourage them a bit or flirt with them so they could confess their feelings đ (*sniffles* I ship đ¤§đ)
Pile 5:
Shufflemancy -
Use Your Heart - Interlude by SWV
Love You Down by Ready For The World
Freakend by Megan Thee Stallion
The Empress, Ace of Water, & Temperance
Okay Pile 5, I know this is tired and old but... Mommy? Yes. Mommy? Yes. I cannot đ Some of you could give off milf vibes and you know this. You are either mature for your age or this pile is for my ladies in their 30s and up (It's giving "Damn Ms.Parker finer than a motherf*cker, I'd knock the dust OFF that p*ssy!" đđđ). This Pile is very feminine and sensual. Your body could be very curvaceous đ body shaped like a figure 8 fr. Your lips could be plump and kissable as well đ. If you identify as a masculine (either pronouns, style, gender, etc). You are just a very beautiful man. You could possibly get babied by the female figures in your life lol. Perhaps you have older sisters or a lot of women in your family. You just appear as the people would say "written by a woman". You could like to wear long flowy dresses, heels, cardigans, blouses, etc. Some people here could love the 80s/90s aesthetic. I'm visualizing somebody with big fluffy curls. Also you could attract partners who are younger than you or crave someone who is maternal in their life đĽ´. (Clarified by The High Priestess. So Much More by Xaiver Omär) For how people perceive your beauty, you are down to earth, and just naturally stunning. You could have a good heart as well and possibly do some sort of service for the community. You could be great with kids or love animals as well. Religion or spirituality is significant in your life. So your devotion to God or your faith in the spiritual realm is admirable. People find you wise and want to gain knowledge from your life lessons. I feel that some of you may worry people only consider you just a pretty face with a nice body but that's far from the truth. The people who do appreciate you think you are so kind and memorable to them. Also if you ever feel insecure or lonely, your spirit guides want you to know how much they love you. So if you ever need someone to comfort you in a time of need, call upon your deities, angels, etc.
Pile 6:
Shufflemancy -
Girls by Kid Cudi ft Too $hort
Single by The Neighbourhood
ę˛¨ě¸ í (Winter) by SAAY ft. Woo
The Tower, Eight of Earth "Circumspection", & Ace of Air
Trigger warning
This is interesting. So Pile 6, I see that your appearance actually makes you feel stress or turmoil at times. You could be really self conscious about how you look. For some of you, you could have experienced some sort of traumatic event, or had an injury which drastically caused for you to change. For example, you could have burn scars, large bruises, etc. Some other messages coming through that your self image is warped due to experiencing some sort of abuse (either from a partner, bullying at school, etc). I am really sorry for everything you're going đĽş! I wish you healing and hope you can grow to learn to like how you look. Just know that what other people said or done to you is never your fault and just projecting their own self hatred and insecurities onto you. Now to talk about your physical traits that stand out. You have wavy light brown hair, brown to hazel eyes, and textured skin (sun spots, freckles, wrinkles, etc). For how people perceive your beauty, I see you have some supporters who find your story very motivational. People in your family know the hard work and the steps you took in order to survive and they commend you for it. This is a selective message for only of a few of you but your ancestors have been with you since the beginning of your journey. In this card there is a family of elephants, animals who are known to never forget. Your guides want you to remember the people who did you wrong but also learn to not hold grudges because it will hinder your growth. Practicing journaling, shadow work, and using prompts could help improve your self esteem and provide clarity as to why you have such negative thoughts about your appearance. Also maybe asking your loved ones what makes you beautiful could you help a boost of condience. (Clarified by Mother of Earth. Glitch by Buddy ft. Tinashe) I feel as you get older, you are going to appreciate yourself, your life, and the lessons it had for you. I'm even seeing as you age you will look even more beautiful! One day your will develop wrinkles in the corner of your eyes and see gray hairs at your roots but you will find yourself to be happy about it. Gratitude is a big thing here. The reason why it's because you have to think about not many people live a long life so the fact that you will be blessed to do that, is amazing! Also for some of you I could see that you will look into manifestation. Perhaps you will use law of attraction, subliminals, or affirmations to work on your confidence and feeling more beautiful. You will start trusting your intuition and experiencing "glitches" in the matrix. You will see life doesn't have to be so hard or always be difficult, there can be wonderful moments as well.
Pile 7:
Shufflemancy -
January 28th by J. Cole
AMERICAN GURL by Kilo Kish
EARTHA by Jamila Woods
Six of Air "Knowledge", Five of Air "Conflict, & The Hermit (reversed)
Pile 7, I feel that you are just now acknowledging how beautiful you are! Perhaps you went through a period of being a wallflower or were very shy. You are coming out of your shell and taking steps in embracing your beauty :D! Awesome! Your appearance could be very ethereal. I'm getting that you have features that stand out and you are beautiful with an eclectic style. I'm reminded of like a alien or stars in the galaxy (some of you could be interested in starseeds, sci-fi, or conspiracy theories). This message could be only for some but there was either a friend or ex partner that you had in your life that was jealous of you. They would put you down so you wouldn't feel confident in yourself (Yuck! What a hater đ). This caused you to feel self conscious and out of place but now you are taking back your power. You are realizing this person was just projecting their own issues onto you. If this person is still in your life, I highly advise that you cut this person off! They don't wish to see you happy or succeed. I am sure you know who this person is as well. (Clarified by The Star. Vamp by Father ft Tommy Genesis) Oh yeah this person is gonna be fucking miserable đ. You are gonna experience a huge glow up, Pile 7! I feel like this person has been giving you the evil eye and your spirit guides are not playing that shit. They are gonna get what's coming to them for trying to dim your light and sabotage you. The energy vampire will be gone đ§đ˝ââď¸! You are going to be healing your self esteem and from the past wounds people have inflicted onto you. You get to shine bright and be the star that you are my lovely, pile 7 đ Congratulations!
Pile 8:
Shufflemancy -
BIBI Vengeance by BIBI
Icy by Kim Petras
Do You? By Troyboi
The Magus, The High Priestess, & Mother of Air
Pile 8, honestly you are cool as fuck đ! You could be a model or into fashion, if not, you totally should to start pursuing something along those lines of a career because you have such a chic aura! I'm seeing that you could have sleek hair, slanted eyes, and a prominent facial structure. I'm being reminded of models like Sora Choi and Anok Yai. You could have cool toned skin and wear colors that contrast well with your undertones. You have almost like a ice queen/king presence. People could be intimidated by your presence or find you very intriguing. You could have a popular social media presence or would be eventually be big on the internet. I believe you are aware that because of your appearance it could be marketable or know your looks could attract financial wealth. For how others perceive your beauty; They consider you mysterious, smart, and strong. (Clarified by Two of Air "Equilibrium". DICTATOR by REI AMI.) I'm being reminded of Azula from The Avatar: The Last Airbender. She was raised to be a weapon by her father but was just only a teenager. She began to crack under pressure and suffered a mental breakdown in the dual with her brother Zuko and Katara. You could have a duality to yourself. On the outside, you are stoic and regal - but deep down you could be sentimental and nervous. You could be nostalgic about some things in your life and possibly worry about if you are making the right decisions. Some of you could have parents with strong expectations as well. Please don't be so hard on yourself, pile 8! It's okay to make mistakes for that is how we learn. I know it can be scary to be vulnerable but try to let others in and get to know you for the real you. You could have a avoidant attachment and often doubt others when they try to show their love for you. You don't trust many people and either stay alone or only have a few close friends that you adore. I'm seeing also that you are artistic and have a strong work ethic. For some of you, you could have anxiety, which affects your mental health. Try to pick up a hobby to help calm you down or ease those racing thoughts of yours. Being in nature, socializing with animals, or going to a art class could be helpful or significant to some of you.
Pile 9:
Shufflemancy -
Press Your Number by Taemin
Deja Vu by ATEEZ
Pretty by FAKY
Daughter of Fire, Ace of Fire, & Wheel of Fortune
Omg pile 9, you are my hotties đĽľđ!!! You know you're the shit and nobody could tell you different (period!). You really have the mindset of being the "main character" and live life to the fullest. You could have short hair, buzzcut, or part of your head is shaved while the rest of it is long (Word to Doja: "Lost a lil' weight, but I ain't never lost a tushy. Lookin' good, but now my bald head match my đą"). You could also have a prominent nose, plump lips, darker skin, piercings (eyebrow, nose, or lip? Possibly all 3!), and a tummy pouch (you could have a belly button piercing too). Some of you could be proud of your booty or like to twerk, don't matter the size đ. You wear bangles, crystals, waistbeads, and gold hoops. As for your style you dress like it's summer all the time. You could wear tube tops, crop tops, denim shorts/capris, baggy jeans, flip flops, and sneakers. You could get compliments a lot and be told that your style is "fresh". For how people perceive your beauty, they think you are lucky, blessed, and a joy to be around! I'm getting a vision of someone rub their hands đđ˝. So people want to rub off some of your luck. NSFW but some people want to feel up on you đ. They think your skin looks radiant and soft or want to touch your curves/muscles. (Clarified by The Sun. Going Off by P-Lo) Idk why I'm hearing "Step outside hoe. Step outside!" 𤣠You are enjoying your freedom and letting loose. You could be the type of person people always see on social media traveling places or partying. If any of you still live with your parents, y'all are stressing your mfin' parents tf OUT đđ! You could have to sneak out or lie about where you're going with a cover up outfit just to go places. You get away with a lot though because of how much they love you đŽâđ¨ I'm getting some of you could be the youngest child. Your family think you can be a knucklehead but they love your energy and you make them laugh and smile during the hard times. Also this could be a message for a select few but some of y'all need to stop getting into fights or arguments đ! Please learn to pick and choose your battles lol. Make sure to handle your substances responsibly (Mary Jane by Rick James came on so if you guys like to smoke weed or drink alcohol, be careful of your surroundings đ
!).

assigning LaDS men their TTPD theme songs and specific lyrics
go and open up the entire album with the LaDS in your mind uwu i swear this is too much angst but like not the whole song but vibes <333 someone please write fics on these
Fortnight â Zayne
(I was supposed to be sent away but they forgot to come and get me/ I was a functioning alcoholic till nobody noticed my new aesthetic)
(All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February/ I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary)
(And for a fortnight there we were together/ Run into you sometimes, comment on my sweater/ Now youâre at the mailbox, turned into good neighbours)
The Tortured Poets Department â Rafayel
(You left your typewriter at my apartment/ Straight from the Tortured Poets Department/ I think some things Iâll never say like âWho uses typewriters anyway?â)
(But you awaken with dread/ Pounding nails in your head/ But Iâve read this one where you come undone/ I chose this cyclone with you)
+ The entire chorus and bridge đ
(At dinner you take my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one people put wedding rings on/ And thatâs the closest Iâve come to my heart explodinggg đ đ )
My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys â Xavier
(Oh here we go again/ The voices in his head/ Called the rain to end our days of wild/ The sickest army doll/ Purchased at the mall/ Rivulets descend my plastic smile/ But you should have seen him when he first got me)
(There was a litany of reasons why we could have played for keeps this time/ I know Iâm just repeating myself/ Put me back on my shelf/ But first pull the string and Iâll tell you that he runs because he loves me [he loves me ⨠sings in delulu â¨])
(Just say when Iâd play again/ He was my best friend down at the sandlot/ I felt more when we played pretend/ Than with all the Kens/ Cuz he took me out of my box)
Down Bad â Sylus
(Did you really beam me up/ In a cloud of sparkling dust?/ Just to do experiments on/ Told me I was the chosen one/ Show me that this world is bigger than us/ Then sent me back where I came from/ For a moment I knew cosmic love)
(Did you take all my old clothes/ Just to leave me here naked and alone?/ In a field in my same old town/ That somehow seems so hollow now/ Theyâll say Iâm nuts if I talk about the existence of you/ For a moment I was heaven struck)
+ The chorus and bridge like, justlistennn
So Long, London â Rafayel
(I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist/ I kept calm and carried the weight through the rift/ I pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away)
(And you say I abandoned the ship/ But I was going down with it/ My white knuckle dying grip/ Holding tight to your quiet resentment)
(You swore that you loved me but where were the clues?/ I died on the altar waiting for the proof/ You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days/ And Iâm just getting color back into my face/ Iâm just mad as hell cause I loved this place)
(For so long, London/ Had a good run/ One moment of warm sun/ But Iâm not the one/ So long, London/ Stitches undone/ Two graves, one gun/ Youâll find someone ...)
But Daddy, I Love Him â Sylus
(insert the entire song just kidding)
(He was chaos, he was revelry/ Bedroom eyes like a remedy/ Soon enough the elders had convened/ Down at the city hall/ âStay away from herâ/ The saboteurs protested too much/ Lord knows the words we never heard/ Just screeching tires and true love)
(Thinking it can change the beat/ Of my heart when he touches me/ And counteract the chemistry/And undo the destinyyyy/ You ainât gotta pray for me/ Me and my wild boy and all this wild joy/ If all you want is gray for me/ Then itâs just white noise cuz itâs just my choice)
(Iâm telling him to floor it through the fences/ No, Iâm not coming to my senses/ I know heâs crazy but heâs the one I want)
Oh Lord I havenât listened to Fresh Out The Slammer đ
Florida!!! â Sylus
(The hurricane with my name when it came/ I got drunk and I dared it to wash me away/ Barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of wine/ Well, me and my ghosts, we had a hell of a time/ Yes, Iâm haunted but Iâm feeling just fine)
(Little did you know/ Your homeâs really only the town youâll get arrested/ So you pack your life away/Just to wait out the shitstorm back in Texas)
(I need to forget, so take me to Florida/ Iâve got some regrets, Iâll bury them in Florida/ Tell me Iâm despicable, say itâs unforgivable/ What a crash, what a rush, fuck me up, Florida/ Itâs one hell of a drug)
Guilty as Sin? â Zayne
(My boredomâs bone deep/ This cage was once just fine/ Am I allowed to cry?/ I dream of cracking locks/ Throwing my life to the wolves/ Or the ocean rocks/ Crashing into him tonight/ Heâs a paradox/ Iâm seeing visions, am I bad?/ Or mad? Or wise?)
this is literally MC in Zayne cards no question no judging we love our personal rocking chair babe
(I keep recalling things we never did/ Messy top lip kiss/How I long for our trysts/ Without ever touching his skin/ How can I be guilty as sin?)
Whoâs Afraid Of Little Old Me? â Rafayel(?)
Just vibes.
I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) â Sylus
(The smoke cloud billows out of his mouth like a freight train through a small town/ The jokes that he told at the bar were revolting and far too loud)
(They shake their heads saying âGod help herâ when I tell âem heâs my man/ But your good Lord doesnât need to lift a finger/ I can fix him, no really, I can/ And only I can)
(The dopamine races cross his brain like a six-plane Texas highway/ His hands, so calloused from his pistol, softly traces hearts on my face/ And I can see it from a mile away/ A perfect case for my certain skills set/ He had a halo of the highest grade/ He just hadnât met me yet)
(Good boy, thatâs right/ Come close, Iâll show you heaven if youâll be an angel all night/ Trust me, I can handle me a dangerous man)
Did I just type out the entire song oop-
loml â Rafayel
(Whoâs gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames?/ If we know the steps anyway/ We embroidered the memories of the time I was away/ Stitching âWe were just kids, babeâ/ I said âI donât mind, it takes timeâ/ I thought I was better safe than starry eyed/ I felt a glow like this, never before and never since)
(Whoâs gonna tell me the truth when you blew in with the winds of fate/ And told me I reformed you/ When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out to be fake/ Well, you took me to hell, too/ And all at once, the ink bleeds/ A con-man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme/ I felt a hole like this, never before and ever since)
(You shit talked me under tables, talking rings and talking cradles/ I wish I could un-recall how we almost had it all/ Dancing phantoms on the terrace/ Are they second-hand embarrassed? That I canât get out of bed/ Cuz something counterfeitâs dead)
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart â Xavier
(There in her glittering prime/ The lights refract sequined stars off her silhouette every night/ I can show you lies ⨠)
(Cuz Iâm a real tough kid/ I can handle my shit/ They said âBabe you gotta fake it till you make itâ and I did/ Lights, camera, bitch smile/ Even when you wanna die/ He said heâd love me all his life/ But that life was too short/ Breaking down I hit the floor/ All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting more)
(Iâm so depressed I act like itâs my birthdayyy everyday/ Iâm so obsessed with him but he avoids me like a plague/ I cry a lot but I am so productive, itâs an art/ You know youâre good when you can even do it with a broken heart ⨠)
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
ummâŚ. imma be saving this for later because âŚ. we can all sense a betrayal of smth coming right? or is it just my bestfriendâs pessimistic arse againâ
The Alchemy â Sylus ����
(What if I told you Iâm back?/ The hospital was a drag/ Worst sleep that I ever had/ I circled you on a map/ I havenât come around in so long/ But Iâm coming back so strong)
(So when I touch down/ Call the amateurs and cut âem from the team/ Ditch the clowns, get the crown/ Baby, Iâm the one to beat/ Cuz the sign on your heart said itâs still reserved for me/ Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?)
(Whereâs the trophy? He just comes running over to me.) â please let us take a moment to appreciate how sweet this line was, even in TS standards
The Black Dog â Sylus
(I move through the world with a heart broken/ My longing stays unspoken/ And I may never open up the way I did to you/ And all of those best laid plans/ You said I needed a brave man/ Then proceeded to play him until I believed it too)
(Six weeks of breathing clean air/ I still miss the smoke/ Were you making fun of me with some esoteric joke?/ Now I want to sell my house and set fire to all my clothes/ And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons/ Even if I die screaming/ And I hope you hear it)
imgonnagetyouback â Sylus
(Whether Iâm gonna be your wife or gonna smash up your bike, I havenât decided yet/ But Iâm gonna get you back/ Whether Iâm gonna curse you out or take you back to my house, I havenât decided yet/ But Iâm gonna get you back)
(Bygones will be bygone eras fading into gray/ We broke all the pieces but still want to play the game/ Told my friends I hate you but I love you just the same/ Pick your poison, babe, Iâm poison either way)
The Albatross â Rafayel
(Wise men once said wild winds are death to the candle/ A rose by any other name is a scandal/ Locked me up in towers but I'd visit in your dreams/ And they tried to warn you about me)
(Cross your thoughtless heart/ Only liquor anoints you/ Sheâs the albatross/ She is here to destroy you/ Devils that you know/ Raise worse hell than a stranger/ Sheâs the death you chose/ And all this terrible danger)
(And when that sky rains fire on you/ And you're persona non grata/ I'll tell you how I've been there too/ And that none of it matters)
hands down the best fitting song and ship by far aaand weâre gonna be getting some zayne angst for the next few ones
Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus â Zayne
(If you wanna break my cold, cold heart/ Just say âI loved you the way that you wereâ/ If you wanna tear my world apart just say youâve always wondered)
(If the glint in my eye traced the depths of your sigh/ Down that passage in time back to the moment I crashed into you/ Like so many wrecks do/ Too impaired by my youth/ To know what to do)
How Did It End? â Zayne
(We hereby conduct this post-mortem/ He was a hothouse flower to my outdoorsmen/ Our maladies were such we could not cure them/ And so his touch that was my birthright became foreign)
(Say it once again with feeling/ How the death rattle breathing/ Silenced as the soul was leaving/ The deflation of our dreaming/ Leaving me bereft and reeling/ My beloved ghost and me/ Sitting in a tree D-Y-I-N-G )
So High School â Xavier
(I feel so high school every time I look at you/ I wanna find you in a crowd just to hide from you đ)
(And in a blink of a crinkling eye/ Iâm sinking, our fingers entwined and cheeks pink in the twinkling lights/ Tell me âbout the first time you saw me/ Iâll drink what you think, and Iâm high from smoking your jokes all damn night/ The brink of a wrinkle in time/ Bittersweet sixteen suddenly)
I Look In Peopleâs Windows â Zayne
At this point Iâm cutting onions for Zayneâs story. Maybe other albums will have better song choices for my babe đĽšđ
(I had died the tiniest death/ I spied the catch in your breath/ Out, out, out, out, out, out/ North bound I got carried away as you boarded your train/ South, south, south, south, south, south/ A feather taken by the wind blowing/ Iâm afflicted by the not knowing so)
(I look in peopleâs windows/ Transfixed by rose golden glows/ They have their friends over to drink nice wine/ I look in peopleâs windows In case youâre at their table/ What if your eyes looked up and met mine/ One more time)
(You had stopped and tilted your head/ I still ponder what it meant now, now/ Now, now, now, now/ I tried searching faces on streets/ What are the chances you'd be downtown, downtown, downtown/ Does it feel alright to not know me?/ Iâm addicted to the âif onlyâ)
The Prophecy â Zayne
(Hand on the throttle/ Thought I caught lightning in a bottle/ Oh, but it's gone again/ And it was written/ I got cursed like Eve got bitten/Oh, was it punishment?)
(Please, Iâve been on my knees/ change the prophecy/ Donât want money/ Just someone who wants my company/ Let it once be me/ Who do I have to speak to, about if they can redo the prophecy?)
I will cry if the creators donât give at least one happy ending to one of them
Peter â Xavier
(The goddess of Timing once found us beguiling/ She said she was trying, Peter, was she lying?/ My ribs get the feeling she did/ And I didnât wanna come down/ We said it was just goodbye for now)
(And sometimes it gets me/ When crossing your jet stream/ We both did the best we could do underneath the same moon/ In different galaxies)
(And I wonât confess that I waited but I let the lamp burn/ As the men masqueraded/ I hoped youâd return with your feet on the ground/ Tell me all that youâve learned/ Cuz loveâs never lost when perspective is earned)
The Bolter â Sylus
(He was a cad, wanted her bads/ Just like any good trophy hunter/ And she likes the way it tastes/ Taming a bear, making him care/ Watching him jump then pulling him under/ And at first blush, this is fate/ When it's all roses, portrait poses/ Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats/ What a charming Saturday/ Thatâs when she sees the littlest leaks/ Down in the floorboards/ And she just knows/ She must bolt)
Robin â Xavier
(Strings tied to levers, slowed down clocks tethered/ All this showmanship/ To keep it, for you/ In sweetness/ Way to go tiger/ Higher and higher/ Wilder and lighter/ For you)
(You got the dragonflies above your bed/ You have a favorite spot on the swing set/ You have no room in your dreams for regrets/ You have no idea/ The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean/ Youâll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline/ But now weâll curtail your curiosity)
The Manuscript â Rafayel
(Now and then she rereads the manuscript/ Of the entire torrid affair/ They compared their licenses He said, âIâm not a donor but Iâd give you my heart if you needed itâ/ She rolled her eyes and said âYou're a professionalâ/ He said, âNo, just a good samaritanâ)
(The only thing thatâs left is the manuscript/ One last souvenir from my trip to your shores/ Now and then I reread the manuscript/ But the story isnât mine anymore)
Yes I left out Clara Bow, I Hate It Here, thanK you aIMee and Cassandra. These are really amazing songs, very TS girl-coded and we stan all the lyrics <3 they just didnât particularly fit oh oh maybe
Clara Bow â Sylus
(This town is fake but youâre the real thing/ Breath of fresh air through smoke rings/ Take the glory, give everything/ Promise to be dazzling/ The crown is stained but youâre the real queen/ Flesh and blood amongst war machines/ Youâre the new god weâre worshiping/ Promise to be dazzling)
I Hate It Here â Zayne
(I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind/ People need a key to get to/ The only one is mine/ I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child/ No mid-sized city hopes and small town fears/ Iâm there most of the year cuz I hate it here)
(I hate it here so I will go to lunar valleys in my mind/ When they found a better planet, only the gentle survived/ I dreamt about it in the dark the night I felt like I might die)
thanK you aIMee â Xavier
(All that time you were throwing punches, I was building something/ And I couldnât wait to show you it was real/ Screamed âthanK you aIMeeâ to the nightsky and the stars are stunning/ And our town, it looks so small from way up here)
Cassandra â Rafayel
(I was in my new house placing daydreams/ Patching up the crack along the wall/ I pass it and lose track of what Iâm saying/ Cuz thatâs where I was when I got the call)
(I was in my tower weaving nightmares/ Twisting all my smiles into snarls/ They say, âWhat doesnât kill you makes you awareâ/ What happens if it becomes who you are?)

Boarding School for Giants (1/25)
Author's Note: I decided to share one of my stories on here. Admittedly, it's not my best work, and I've improved a lot since I wrote it, but it remains one of my most popular (and is a shorter and tamer story). Hope you guys enjoy! :)
------Chapter 1------
I was angry at the world. And I had good reason to be. My dad had left a long time ago, when I was a small childâjust walked out one day for cigarettes and never came back. He left behind a gaping hole in my soul that would never be filled. My mother, too, suffered from that same void: She filled it with alcohol, or at least tried to, as much as a bottomless pit can be filled. Occasionally she could pull herself together enough, for my sake, to get a low-paying job to support us and keep us fed. Inevitably, though, she would slip back into old habits, and be consumed by the bottle again.Â
I was the poster child for teenage angst. I wore black nail polish and black lipstick and heavy eyeshadow with mascara. I dyed my dark hair with streaks of color and cut it in crazy, edgy styles. I had ear piercings and a nose piercing and even a badass tattoo of the grim reaper with a skull on my upper thigh that I got with a fake ID (donât tell my mom). As for my clothing, I usually went for a goth or punk aesthetic: lacy black corsets with short skirts and tights, ripped-up skinny jeans, big black boots, messy crop tops with spaghetti straps. Anything black with buckles or spikes was my jam. I liked black because my heart was black.Â
My behavior mirrored my outer appearance. I played the role of the bad kid pretty well. I always talked back to my teachers and acted up in class. I smoked weed in the girlâs bathroom during lunch and cigarettes behind the school. My grades werenât terrible, because I wasnât a complete moron, but I certainly didnât try very hard. I snuck out of the house on weekends late at night to attend wild parties, although I refused to drink alcohol because I didnât want to be like my mother. I made out with bad boys, whom I knew all too well would use me and break my heart and leave me just like my daddy did.Â
The relationship I had with my mom, admittedly, wasnât the best. She worked odd hours, so she wasnât around much anyways. Sometimes she would bring home men that might stay for a little while, but none of them could replace my dad. She couldnât handle my unruliness and didnât know how to discipline me or give me boundaries. We would get into shouting matches with each other a lot, where we yelled past each other more than listening to each other. I knew all her weaknesses, and would intentionally say hurtful things to make her cry. I told her she was a terrible mother and she was the reason Dad left and nobody would ever love her again. I would regret my words later, but the rage and sadness I felt inside me was hard to control.Â
Today was the day where the tension finally snapped, and everything came crashing down. I had been having an unusually crummy day, and I was in a bad mood. I flunked my chemistry testânot that I really cared, but it still made me feel stupid. The other girls in my class were teasing me and telling me I was an idiot, and I didnât like that. I was walking through the hallway to my next class when Billy the Bully, as I called him, spotted me and zeroed in on his prey like a bloodhound. I had spurned his advances once, finding him to be a contemptible wretch, and ever since he had made it his mission to belittle and humiliate me as much as possible. Since I had rejected him, he insisted I was an ugly lesbian. I was not in the mood for his bullshit today. He pushed me hard into a locker, laughed, and strolled off.Â
The coals burning inside me ignited. Billy the Bully was going down. I chased after him and punched him hard in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground, and kicked him in the ribs a couple of times for good measure. Thatâd teach him to mess with me. Unfortunately for me, I hadnât noticed the principal walking down the hall, who was now gaping at me, appalled. It didnât matter that Billy always harassed me, and that he had initiated the confrontation. The principal had only seen my violence. Despite fights breaking out all the time in the schoolyard, our school had a âzero toleranceâ policy on the books for violent actions. Not to mention, I was sure they were more than happy to find an excuse to get rid of a troublesome rebel like me. I was swiftly expelled.Â
Needless to say, when my mom came home from work and learned what happened from the school, she blew up at me. As usual, we yelled past each other until we were both out of breath and red in the face. I stormed out of the house and took a walk to cool down, smoking a cigarette as I went. To be honest, even though I felt justified in what I had done, I regretted putting my mom through more stress. She was always failing me, but I figured she still loved me and cared about me. I was disappointing her with my bad behavior. I felt like such a failure.Â
Reflecting on my actions didnât change the consequences, however. I had been kicked out of school, and now we would need to transfer me to a new school. I wasnât sure how to feel, whether I should be nervous or optimistic. Maybe I needed a fresh start. My old school sucked anyways, and was lousy with bullies and haters. I hated school. Why did I have to go in the first place? I couldnât think of any other high schools that were close by in our area.Â
When I returned home, my mom was making phone calls, trying to place me in a new school. Her eyes were red and puffy as she massaged her temple with her fingers. I tiptoed past her, slunk over to my room, and threw myself on my bed. I slapped on a pair of old headphones and blasted some death metal into my ears to drown out my thoughts. Somehow, the sound of wild demonic screaming and electric guitars always helped to calm down the boiling hatred inside me. I started to drift off to sleep.Â
âEREN!â my mom screamed my name, startling me awake over the sound of my music. I took off my headphones, irritated.Â
âWHAT?!â I shouted back with a disgruntled scowl.Â
âPack your things,â my mother demanded. âNone of the schools nearby are willing to take you in, and I canât deal with you anymore. Youâre going to boarding school to learn some discipline.âÂ
âBoarding school? Are you freaking kidding me right now?â I balked. I was incredulous. Mom was trying to get rid of me. I flipped the script on her and acidly retorted, âWell, fine then! I didnât want to be around you anymore either!â I rolled over in my bed and refused to look at her, facing the wall instead in defiance. She paused for a moment, as if wanting to say something, then sighed and exited the room, closing the door gently behind her. Â
I huffed and sulked for a while. Boarding school. Unbelievable. Scoffing to myself, I began to gather up my things, tossing clothes, school supplies, and some other miscellaneous articles carelessly into my backpack and a duffel bag. I didnât have a whole lot to bring. We were poor, so itâs not like I had a ton of luxury items in my possession to pack. I prepared for bed and flopped down on my mattress, deep in thought. I wondered what boarding school was like. Maybe it would be better to get away from it all, to be far away from everything that was tormenting me. My mom wouldnât be around to hassle me at least. How bad could it be?Â
The next morning, I dragged myself out of bed and threw on some clean clothes. I hadnât slept well, since I had been haunted by my nagging thoughts most of the night. I ate a bowl of cereal and drank some orange juice for breakfast, then decided I ought to at least make myself look nice if it was going to be my first day at a new school. I hauled myself to the bathroom and washed, did my make-up, brushed my teeth, and styled my hair with some hair gel. Much better.Â
I grabbed my bags and placed them in the trunk of our beater of a car. Rather than sit in the front seat alongside my mother, I opted to sit in the back instead, sprawling my legs out along the back seat. My mom pursed her lips in disapproval but didnât say anything. She hopped into the front seat, and after a couple of tries the starter kicked in and the old car coughed to life. The car crawled out of the driveway and stumbled off, leaving a nasty brown puff of smog in its wake.Â
We drove for a while in silence. I played on my phone and occasionally looked out the window at the bland scenery passing by. We lived in a rural area, surrounded by farmland, so there wasnât much to see other than fields of corn and wheat, grain silos and barns, and fenced-off land for cows or horses. It was a serene and pastoral paradise, but I had lived with these things my whole life so I wasnât very impressed. The density of the buildings gradually increased as we entered more populated areas.Â
After a couple of hours, I started to get restless. âWhere are we going? How far away is this place?â I questioned, finally breaking the silence.Â
âAbout that...â my mother said. She trailed off and failed to finish her sentence, as if she were afraid to tell me.Â
âWell?â I asked, a note of irritation in my voice.Â
She sighed. âI guess itâs better if I tell you now, so you donât freak out when we get there. Weâre almost at the drop-off point anyways.âÂ
âFreak out?â I was becoming increasingly baffled. âWhy would I freak out? Whatâs going on here?â I raised my voice as I spoke.Â
âThis isnât an ordinary boarding school.â She paused dramatically, letting the words sink in. âI needed to find a place we could afford, and a place that could handle your misbehaving and keep you in check. This school is planning to become an integration school, and theyâre looking for students like you to join, so they offered me a substantial subsidy to sign you up.âÂ
âStudents... like me?â I was lost. âWhy would they want a troublemaker like me? What do you mean by an âintegration school?â What is that?âÂ
Before she could answer, our car was engulfed in shadow. I peered out the window and my jaw dropped to the floor. We were driving toward a massive wall, constructed of great stone bricks of an impossible size. The wall must have been hundreds of feet tall, and blocked out the sun as we approached. The surrounding buildings and trees looked like little models and toys by comparison. We pulled up to the wall and parked in a vacant lot. My mom, rather than explaining what was going on, got out of the car and removed my bags from the trunk. I stayed in my seat, refusing to budge. I was very confused, and even a little intimidated.Â
My mother opened the passenger door and looked at me expectantly. âCome on. Get out.â I just stared back at her. Nothing had been explained. I didnât want to go. I was getting an uneasy, sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.Â
She crossed her arms and tapped her foot impatiently. Realizing I wasnât going to win this fight, I begrudgingly got out of the car and followed her to a normal-sized door that was embedded in the enormous wall. She opened the door and we walked into a short, gloomy passageway that tunneled through the thick wall to the other side. As we walked through the darkness, I cleared my throat and tried one last time to finesse some information out of her.Â
âMom... please. Tell me what this is,â I pleaded. I couldnât stop my voice from cracking slightly. Genuine fear was starting to trickle into my chest. The whole situation was very strange and surreal.Â
We reached the door at the end of the tunnel. Sunlight bled through the cracks around the door, framing it with bright light in the musty darkness. My mom placed her hand on the door handle and exhaled slowly. She gazed over at me sadly. Her face was pinched up, as if she were trying to hold back strong emotions.Â
âOn the other side of this huge wall... is the giant side of town. Youâre going to a boarding school for giants.âÂ

Who I think the Lost Boys' favorite Monster High characters would be
This turned out longer than I expected, but I also included explanations for my picks. Let me know your guy's thoughts :))
(I did try to put a read-more link, but it fucked up the picture formatting, so I apologize for the long post)
David: G1 Toralei Stripe and G3 Draculaura
For Toralei, David LOVES a messy bitch. He supports women's wrongs always, and Toralei causes almost every problem in Monster High. I definitely see David as a cat guy, and Toralei is the true embodiment of cat-attitude. She's a leader and your classic mean-girl, but doesn't like kicking people who are already down, and you know what? He respects it. He respects it a lot.
When it comes to Draculaura, he didn't really get the G1 hype. She's very sweet and pink, which is Totally not his style (so he says), and he thought the Monster High take on vampires was incredibly silly. But by G3, Draculaura's grown on him. He doesn't really get the whole vampire-witch thing, but he's surprisingly fond of her new style. He likes the dainty little sheer details on her main doll's top especially. Also, the image of this "cool" vampire with a cute little pink doll is Very Good.
Honorable mentions: G1 Cleo De Nile, G1 Nefera De Nile, G1 Spectra Vondergeist
Marko: G1 Venus McFlytrap and G3 Frankie Stein
Look at Venus and tell me Marko wouldn't be obsessed with her. Her overall personality is really inconsistent, but he's super fond of her being depicted as a loud, chaotic party animal. He really likes her bold colors and all of the patterns she wears and the fucking sharp teeth on her shoes. I could see him trying to recreate that. He'd also add little details of his own to her battle vest.
He wasn't really big on G1 Frankie because she was sort of basic to him, but really likes the new take on their preppy/punk style, especially the new bright color palette. Neons really stick out to him. The new prosthetic leg is so goddamn cool y'all, and he'd be all over the idea of Frankie doodling on themselves. Also! Canon trans doll! I headcanon Marko as transmasc, so the inclusion of a nonbinary doll that actively binds? Sign him up, he wants that.
Honorable mentions: G1 Ghoulia Yelps, G1 Howleen Wolf, G1 Holt Hyde
Paul: G1 Lagoona Blue and G3 Ghoulia Yelps
Lagoona is such a cute monster, and she's so fucking friendly. She can get along with any monster without letting anyone walk all over her (except for Gil, who Paul HATES), and Paul would just adore her passion. He really likes how she leans into the whole fish-aesthetic with her outfits, and he just thinks she so cool. Like, look at the fishnet shorts!! He'd love that shit!! Specifically I think he'd like her Dawn of the Dance look, but moreso the official art rather than the doll.
G3 Ghoulia is so cool y'all. He already liked G1 Ghoulia, who was easily in his top five monsters, but G3 has that skater/gamer aesthetic and this man just eats it up. I feel like he'd be disappointed that she doesn't speak Zombie anymore, but her new cool-girl schtick makes up for it. He definitely gets rid of her eyebrows with nail-polish remover as soon as he gets her out of the box though. Thinks she looks better without them.
Honorable mentions: G1 Ghoulia Yelps, G1 Deuce Gorgon, G1 Clawd wolf, G1 Viperine Gorgon
Dwayne: G1 Clawdeen, G1 Abbey Bominable, and G3 Ghoulia Yelps
Yes, Dwayne gets THREE because I genuinely couldn't decide between G1 Clawdeen and G1 Abbey for him, and I didn't feel like G3 Abbey was really his style.
G1 Clawdeen is That Bitch. She's confident, bold, and does not hesitate to call someone out on their bs. I think Dwayne would really admire her feircly protecive nature and her no-nonsense attitude. And that fur coat? That fur coat that she wears to high school? Increadible. Amazing. Showstopping. Dwayne would also figure out how to curl doll hair just for Clawdeen because he Knows what she deserves. The irony of a vampire liking a werewolf character is not lost on him.
Is Abbey's accent accurate to the Himalayas? No. Does Dwayne care? Also no. Abbey is way too charming of a character for him to be terribly bothered by her Russian-esk accent (even though he points it out Every Time). She's honest to the point of accidently insulting her friends and doesn't really understand a ton of cultural differences, which Dwayne thinks makes her more fun. He'd really love her dry sense of humor and her strong disposition. And honestly? Maybe I just think he has a thing for faux fur.
Another G3 Ghoulia enjoyer. I feel like we've somehow collectively forgotten that Dwayne skateboards. I haven't forgotten though, and I think Dwayne would redecorate Ghoulia's skateboard and then promptly lose it (he'd end up stealing Paul's and then gaslight him into thinking it was his the whole time). I think he'd really enjoy this more confident version of Ghoulia, but again, disappointed by the language shift. (I'm projecting at this point.)
Honorable mentions: G1 Cleo De Nile, G1 Frankie, G1 Clawd Wolf, G2 Deuce Gorgon
Star: G1 Spectra Vondergeist and G3 Cleo De Nile
Look me in the eyes and tell me that Spectra DOESN'T make you think of Star. She's pretty reclusive but a mega gossip, and she's super quick to make judgements. Spectra will literally make shit up and then start to believe it herself, including lies about her own past. Her aesthetic is somewhere between the lost boys' and Star's, which looks both cool and super flowy. Star would totally see herself in Spectra in both appearance and personity, and as another supporter of women's wrongs, I think that she'd adore her.
Honestly I feel like G3 would be a hard sell for Star because she's already so attached to the original versions of the characters, but if she had to pick, it would be Cleo. Her jacket and accessories are so fucking cool, and Star definitely wishes she could see herself properly so she could do makeup like that (she does NOT trust the boys). She would try to paint Cleo's molded-on bandages and ruin the plastic, but she'd wrap real fabric around it to hide her fuck up.
Honorable mentions: G1 Purrsephone and Meowlody, G1 Cleo De Nile, G1 Operetta
Michael: G1 Frankie Stein and G3 Deuce Gorgon
Michael is nothing if not a basic bitch. G1 Frankie is very peppy and constantly confused since she's somehow always 16 days old, which I think Michael can relate to. She has the messiest fucking love-life known to man, and he gets it. She's exploring and trying to learn everything at once, which includes relationships, and Michael isn't exactly known for thinking things like that through. He isn't the biggest on any sort of fashion, but I think he'd like her color palette and the little stitch details. That, and I think he'd find her heterochromia really cool.
G3 Deuce is the first time Deuce didn't look like a weird asshole to Michael, and I think after meeting the lost boys, he's definitely more into alternative men's fashion than he used to be. This new Deuce is what Michael considers "cool" in a cartoonish sort of way. I wouldn't put it past him to try to figure out how to decorate his jacket a little to resemble Deuce's considering the lost boys all have something unique going on, but I think he'd end up regretting the snake motif since it isn't really Him.
Honorable mentions: G1 Jackson Jekyll, G1 "Slo Mo" Mortavitch, G1 Iris Clops
Sam: G1 Draculaura and G3 Twyla Boogeyman
He's going with the safe choice, but he's right. Draculaura is sweet, sensitive, and a shopaholic (something he can related to, Mr. Born-to-shop). I think, like Star, he'd be the type project onto her. He'd get as many different Draculaura sets his grubby little hands and mostly-empty wallet can get and he'd talk to all of them like, "You hearing this shit, Draculaura?" Even though she's a vampire and he's recently been on the anti-vampire bandwagon, he makes an exception for her because she's vegan.
I feel like he was surprised with how much he liked the new Twyla since he wasn't terribly fond of G1 Twyla, but I think changing the green to a nice teal really helped. Her patterns don't clash as much (neither do her accessories, which he was SUPER bothered by in G1), and her hair Actually looks nice. She just feels more cohesive, which really sells her to Sam. He's still a die-hard Draculaura fan, but there's room in his heart for two cute monsters.
Honorable mentions: G1 Clawdeen, G1 Clawd, G1 Rochelle Goyle, G3 Draculaura

Anyways guys gals and nonbinary pals.. The Topsy brain rot be real, and while this all stemmed from a pocket love thing, this particular character feels more fleshed out and "real" than H did so I don't know what that means or how it'll affect things going forward but...
Topsy!
Infodump under the cut. I couldn't help myself.
Also, as always, -> not proship friendly, sorry.
Also she is non-sharing jic idk how common it is for people to be like ah yes this oc f/o is mine too.
She picked her name herself, and refuses to tell anyone her dead name - after all she had it legally changed. Anyone who's attempted to find the info, gets buried in a mountain of paperwork so large it's almost comical. She's non-verbal majority of the time as she is selectively mute, Ie she only really talks to me, and while the general look of her mime make up doesn't change (nor does it come off) she can have varying styles of makeup! This is the one she had on while I was doing this project, but she has a more stereotypical mime makeup, and more avant garde ones as well, which I may get around to creating designs of, but most likely I'll leave it up to your imagination as it's kind of a lot. Personality wise, she's shy, anxious (to the point it's probably a disorder, She has a tendency to pick at the skin around her nails), compassionate, kind, and passionate about what she loves. She can be sassy, a bit hot headed, and short tempered, but that's due to the same passion she applies to creative projects. She doesn't know how "good" it is, but she does paint, and draw - the only thing she's never done is a self potrait. She doesn't like mirrors, to the point that I think she'd remove or crack the mirror in the bathroom in headspace if she didn't have her own. We've made a deal to cover it with a towel if she ever needs to use the main bathroom instead. (For anyone asking why headspace has mirrors and the like, because it's sometimes easier to look in a mirror than to outwardly identify who's here sadly. As for bathrooms... Call it normalcy. Our headspace is a house, mainly.) She usually dresses casually, rather than fancy, and she does incorporate color, the clothing options available just don't suit her style. Her favorite ice cream is cookie dough, and she's a big fan of finger foods but doesn't love pizza. She likes cats, but hasn't had the chance to really own a cat or interact with them much, and has a lot of intrusive/anxious thoughts about accidentally picking cats up wrong, or hurting them, so she mostly just admires them on social media rn. She likes all kinds of colors, but I think her favorite might be dusty blue? She has a lot of stuff in that color, so if it's not, I'd like to replace it eventually. She does own the traditional stripey outfit of a mime, but she prefers to wear a light pink and white striped turtle neck, with either a cute light pink skirt, or some black ripped faux jeans. While she has other options, those seem to be the things she wears most often, depending on how appropriate it is to do so. She also has an off the shoulder cowl neck hybrid in a similar style, which she pairs with a black tank top underneath. She's fairly fashion forward, just focusing on mixing mime fashion + a little bit of clowncore with pastel goth/punk goth aesthetic. She seems to enjoy reading, but will put down a book anytime someone sees her (including me) and tends to blush at "being caught reading" I don't know much about her home life, but I know that in addition to the scarring from picking her nail skin, she has these deep scars (healed) on her hands, and various other deep scars on her body. With strangers, she's self conscious about them, but with me, she's admitted she's proud of surviving, and views them as proof of that, rather than something to be ashamed of. (Not SH scars - jic it needs saying.) She's a confident, sassy, powerful woman when we're together, but she can quickly become shaky and unsure of herself depending on the circumstances, so watching her flourish has been a joy. Despite *literally* being created recently, She definitely feels like a wife and not a girlfriend, in the sense of, I feel like we've been married for years, and together even longer. So I'll be calling her my Mime wife from here on out! Not to be confused with IRL wife!
I don't think she's human despite her appearence suggesting that, given the permanent, shifting, mime makeup but tbh? Slay. We love a non-human character here.
I'll probably add more as time goes on but yeah, Meet my mime wife! I love her! If you'd told me a year ago I've have a clown adjacent character as a F/O I would've asked if this was a bad joke (I'm afraid of clowns) but here we are, and she's not the least bit scary, which is good.

Diego Brando
Coming from dm!!! I wanna hear some Diego headcanons, could you tell us?
OF COURSE, THANK YOU đ¤¸ââď¸ im eating up every opportunity to talk about this man !!! some of these i've probably mentioned before but i have a few core HCs that i am quite passionate about so that's inevitable :'))
(warning for SBR spoilers!)
he's 5'3", i think this is widely accepted but i want to emphasize my love for short king diego
he has freckles, yes this is my tendency to give every single one of my favorite characters freckles but i won't back down on this
he's very particular about aesthetics, including but not limited to his clothing, his living space, the way he physically carries himself, the state of silver bullet's appearance (though he is very passionate about caring for her in general and considers it his way of bonding with her)
he's VERY good at braiding hair and can do several different kinds with ease and quickness.
morning guy, he likes being up to see the sunrise and get in some early morning exercise
modern diego is a huge movie buff, his favorite films are peak and you cannot convince him otherwise! he loves psychological thrillers, is very particular about the horror he enjoys, can't stand romantic comedies, and his secret guilty pleasure is animated movies about animals (spirit is very special to him)
modern diego watches hours of animal videos, if he's smiling at his phone it's very safe to assume he's watching something like "cat bonds with lizard" or "newborn foal walks for the first time"
annoyingly photogenic, he cannot take a bad picture no matter how hard someone tries to catch him off guard, however if you get a chance to take one while he's sleeping... that's when he looks the worst (he will not rest until you delete that photo)
when he's in love (rare!!!) or has decided to trust someone (also rare!!!) he gets soooo clingy and overly protective, he will do anything for the people he cares about, though gaining that trust is an extremely difficult and unbearable feat.. he's hard to love initially (and actively repellent to it anyway) but when his walls finally come down it's very much worth it
dinopants REAL, that's it that's the headcanon but araki told me himself that they're in love and compliment each other so well and make each other better people
modern diego loves jaffa cakes, they remind him of his mother because they would share them when he was very young
not the best cook but he really wants to be, his mother left behind a recipe book which he treasures dearly and wants to master.
he has a very loud laugh, it's actually a little off-putting đ
if you don't laugh at his jokes then you're wrong and he will hold a grudge (im mostly joking but like... he thinks he's the funniest motherfucker around)
he's happiest when it's clear skies with lots of sunshine, he hates the cold, hates the rain, and despises snow, during the winter if he has to leave the house, even if it's just to get the mail or something, he wears several layers and bitches about it the entire time
scary monsters has long-lasting side effects on diego's body outside of him actively using it - his skin gets very dry much quicker (if he doesn't moisturize often his skin will peel and turn a gross green color), his nails grow exponentially faster and have to be trimmed often, he's much more sensitive to the cold, he can see perfectly fine at night without any light (his elevated senses are a canon thing anyway, i just think it's cute)
silver bullet is diego's bff !!!!!! he raised her from the time she was born and he cares deeply for her (when he called her his 'beloved' in canon i genuinely lost it) people have wronged him his entire life but horses have been his safe place for as long as he can remember
the bow on diego's helmet was placed there in dedication to his mother - the bows on his shirt when he was a child were hand-crafted by her in her (rare) free time and he's always associated these kinds of decorations with her
during the race diego finds solace in keeping his helmet close by him at all times, during quiet moments where he's alone he will have quiet conversations with it as if his mother is sitting there with him (it keeps him motivated)
diego genuinely cared for his late wife - he lacked a proper education while growing up, and while he did get some informal education during his time with the joestars, she spent a lot of time teaching him academics more relevant to his age, all while treating him with a kind of nurturing love that he'd been unknowingly craving and desperately in need of
despite this, he still has huge difficulty with vulnerability and emotional awareness in general (canon??) and has stuffed his inner struggles so deep down that he's not even aware of them anymore, his ego is definitely a coping mechanism for how troubled he actually is
but to end on a positive note: he has a youthful soul and at his best he's goofy and charismatic, he matures wonderfully and he makes an amazing mayor because he understands the struggles of the lower class and wants to work as hard for them as he can
i have to stop there or else i'll be here all day !!!!! a lot of the canon-related ones are/will be fleshed out in my current diego character study that i'm working on... god i love him he's so layered and interesting!!! and hot too!!!

Asmo Appreciation Week, Day 3: Best Cards, Part 2!
Welcome again, everyone!
I'll cut a bit more to the chase today, since we're in a continuation from yesterday's post. Yesterday I covered #20-11 of the Asmodeus cards that make my heart beat faster, and today I'll show #10-1! These are a lot more potent and have a lot higher potential to melt my soul.
Let us begin~
#10: Guided By Desire
Starting off the top 10 with more nostalgia! While one of two SSR cards people were VERY likely to get in the beginning, it doesn't annoy me seeing him show up...much (I get sooo many ravens now, UGH). BUT, repetitiveness aside, circumstances REALLY put this card high on the list. Even to this DAY it is one of my most powerful cards, even topping a lot of the URs I have on the OG app, so I HAVE to give credit. And even without it...just look at that face, you can't deny its adorableness! (Plus a rare shot where Asmo has pink and neon green nails before they decided on pink and teal!)
#9: Purgatory Hall Sleepover!
Hey look, it's the card that most likely inspired the 2022-23 pajama set! Being the first birthday UR this boy had (and having to wait a full year from its implementation date), I was was EXCITED to see this card art alone. The theming made it even better; sleepovers are another topic that just send me over the moon, and that LITERALLY being the title of the card set in stone that I needed it like water. Thankfully, no money had to be spent, hooray!
#8: Photogenic Asmo
If you thought #16 was colorful, #8 said hold my demonus. This is CUTE in every sense of the word. An overall cafe theme (mixing retro diners and maid cafes without the maids), Asmo in that uniform, and that look on his face getting pics of the sweets?! This was the card that started my completionist journey of getting every card of his, and thankfully, the catalyst was received in a recent revival Nightmare!
#7: Your Personal Venus
This card, this card... The end of February was a wild time for my OM! account. This event plus the Nightmare that was attached were attacking me from both sides in terms of cards I want, and could NOT catch a break (you might be able to guess a card down lower if you think about it ^^). But thankfully, it meant this card was mine within three days of the event start! The initial image is precious (just look at those eyes!), and this one? This was an attack on my soul, how is he able to rock anything and make me love him even more?!
#6: Time for the Main Event!
I grinded in this event when it came out in 2020. Nearly 4 years later, I'm still trying to get him. There's definitely reasons why, considering it's only barely out of the top 5. The Cinderella/fairytale aesthetic is a major reason, bringing to question what Asmo would be like if HE was the titular heroine instead of the fairy godmother in the actual event. In addition, this was the first event where I truly saw him as a gnc icon and ROCKING this dress (I can't unsee the garter belt either, so neither will you now, hehe), and further made me scream whenever future cards indulged this. Now, please hurry up and come home...
#5: Return My Glow
We all know from both the OG and NB that Asmo valued his time as the angel dubbed the "jewel of the heavens", despite slowly forgetting that image of himself. While the event the card was attached to is DEFINITELY controversial amongst the fandom, it still means a lot to me. I grinded my booty off to get it on the last day, and the image (specifically this DF unlock) has the power to make me feel better even on some of my darkest days. It even doubles so when you look at the similar image found in his initial UR in NB (more on that soon!).
#4: The Devildom's Mermaid
Outside of the missed potential to make him an ACTUAL mermaid in one of the arts, this was the first UR+ Asmo ever received, so its iconic status already lends itself to a high placement. Theming is also high here, as WHO can resist the beach episode, tell me, who?! There's also a bit of retroactive mirroring with the anime that happens in my head. I can totally see at one point on that private beach he set up a picture just like this to send to his followers, and that expression sent many (including myself) into an iconic squealing mess.
#3: Demons Catch Colds?!
If you guessed this card at #7, you win a virtual cookie! It is no secret to anyone who knows me well that one of my favorite tropes in fiction is the sick day, one person laying in perceived misery while another tends to their needs. In addition, if you include anything in your work with a medical/dental theme, you will have me eating out of the palm of your hand. This card has both. I was a mess back in April of '21 thanks to this blasted card. Fun fact, this was the first Nightmare card I spent money to get (Solomon decided to block my advances one too many times using the same attribute and I was at my limit đĄ)! I only pull out the actual cash when I'm hooked, so you KNOW it was serious. XD Lastly, I said I wasn't taking Devilgrams into account, but I wanted to mention how the one attached to this card is so sweet. If you ever have the chance to read it, DO IT!
#2: Princess Asmo's Escape
They ACTUALLY referenced it!! If you've seen the anime, you know about Episode 5 and the insanity that occurred when Asmo was literally wearing the crown. And the fact that the devs saw it was iconic enough to make a UR+ out of?! I have a lot of gripes with Solmare, but this one of the times they got it RIGHT. He is a Disney princess, you can NOT change my mind, and the composition of this initial image is so pretty I want to make a print of it to hang in my room. It's almost the perfect card! Almost...
Because the top card of all to me is...
#1: A Song From the Heart
This is my absolute dream card, and the closest to the definition of a perfect one you will ever get. So many elements combine to make this both fitting in terms of character and concept. In the initial image we get the cute, goofy side of him (and a shot of him in glasses?!), calmly playing an acoustic. In the DF unlock, that side turns passionate and bombastic, switching to an electric and belting into the mic under the stage lights. It references both the obvious and not-so-obvious of parts of his character. We know that he loves being under the spotlight, but we don't get much in terms of his love for music, specifically rock music as the designs imply. The outfit is also one of my personal favorites, as is many that don't go on the Majolish racks (pleeeeeease let this one be wearable one day!). It even has a bit of a meta connection as well. His VA, Miura Ayme, has PLENTY of musical connections, not just recording OPs for the game but being an active visual kei artist with a HEAVY leaning on rock as a style. So to see a card not only tie back to a character but to the voice actor at the same time? There's nothing I see that's better than that.
And that's my list! What did you think? Any cards I missed in terms of their positives? Let me know if you have any you want to mention, as well!

Nutmeg!
from this ask meme :)
nutmeg â˘Â howâs your room/home decorated? do you have a specific theme or style going on?
i had another "nutmeg" ask, so i answered over here BUT i figured i could split my response into two parts just for fun :) except this second part is very long because some very stupid things happened before i could make my place fit my style lol.
so here's the thing: the guy who lived in my place before me did a lot of DIY things he should not have been DIYing. a lot of the things he did are harmless but not ideal. for example, all of the nail holes on the trim and door frames have been "filled" with clear caulk instead of spackle, so basically it did absolutely nothing to hide the holes, can't be painted over, and over time has grown discolored so now there are these sort of beige-ish rubbery patches all over the trim and door frames which are way more noticeable than it would have been to just leave the nail holes in the first place. little by little i've been scrubbing the caulk off to refill properly.
some of the things are harmless and simply not my preferred aesthetic. for example, this wall in the bedroom where he stained a bunch of 2x4s different colors and just... nailed them to the wall? i originally thought i'd just do a sort of whitewash thing on that wall but i ended up just fully painting it white and still got the effect i was after.
here's a "before" picture, ft. Posy helping to supervise my unsuccessful whitewash experiments:
and after:
and then some of the things the previous guy did i thought were simply not my preferred aesthetic but still functional, but then they turned out to be not my preferred aesthetic and also so poorly DIYed that they were actively damaging the house.
enter the DIY dungeon bathroom from hell.
this looks largely fine from the picture from before i moved in, right? it was rather dark, i would have preferred a bathtub given that there isn't another bathroom, and the window into the shower was kind of odd, but it was functional. or so i thought.
upon moving in, i quickly realized several things about the shower.
it was quite narrow, so i was always banging my elbows on the walls
the ostensibly fancy showerhead was installed in such a way that in order to be under the water, you had to basically stand in the doorway which then splashed water out all over the floor, and
it was tiled in the worst possible material for a shower
you may notice that the floor and shower are made of the same type of tile. i think it was some sort of slate, but the thing about this type of stone is that it's really porous, especially if you don't seal it, and it really shouldn't stay wet, i.e., it shouldn't be used for a shower. what happens if unsealed porous stone is used for a shower? i can tell you!
it soaks up water like a sponge and doesn't dry out between uses, meaning that the bathroom always had that cavelike wet stone smell
the texture means that soap and residue builds up immediately, but is nearly impossible to clean. when i scrubbed, the stone was so soft that it literally started turning back into mud (pictured below)
in turn, that meant that every time i banged my elbows into the wall or brushed up against the tile, i came away with dirt/mud on me
minerals start leaching out of it, leaving huge calcium deposits and my favorite, rust that runs down the wall and looks like blood (which you can see in the picture)
the stone just starts literally crumbling away (also pictured below)
all of that was bad enough, but then one day i discovered that the carpet in my bedroom on the other side of the wall from the shower was soaking wet, so somehow the shower was leaking, possibly just soaking through the tiles. the soonest any contractors in town were available was three months away, so in an attempt to prevent so much water leaking out, i duct taped garbage bags down and then put a big rubbermaid tub in there that i would stand in while i showered to collect the water. after each shower, i would bucket the water out of the rubbermaid tub and into the toilet. and i was still getting water in the bedroom.
so, in the end, once the contractor ripped everything out, what was actually happening was that the pipe that goes to the showerhead wasn't braced correctly and the water pressure wiggled it loose so that it was just spraying water behind the walls, which then leaked down under the floor and into my bedroom. we also found surprises such as the hot and cold water lines being backwards, the ceiling lights not actually being secured to anything (just propped into holes cut in the ceiling), the area around the drain hadn't been filled and was just a gaping pit under the tile, and the paneling on the walls not actually being paneling, but snap-together floorboards that he'd nailed to the wall.
after all that, here's the final result:
pretty much everything is new (even some of the drywall and parts of the door frame had to be replaced) except for the medicine cabinet and ceiling lights, which i repainted, and the toilet. it's nice to have an almost entirely new bathroom where i got to pick nearly every detail, but i do wish i hadn't had to go through so much water damage to get there lol.
the funniest part of this whole thing is that i got curious about this guy, googled his (very unusual) name, and found his public "home improvement inspo" pinterest board full of pins that he very clearly attempted to replicate (e.g., my hallway is painted in thick tan and white stripes, and he had several pins of hallways painted in stripes the exact same colors). and yes, the bathroom was one of them, except the one he was attempting to replicate had blue tile and the window wasn't so much a window as just a half-wall with glass in the top portion. it also had a glass door on it, but to be fair, in the picture the door was open so he probably missed it.
all of this to say: pinterest and plumbing do not mix no matter how much HGTV you've been watching. hire a professional, or the next person will have to.
#so yes lots of fun colors! lots of flowers!#my living room/kitchen are painted a dark teal sort of color and i have a lime green couch#the office is painted a sort of periwinkle blue/lilac color but the bookshelves cover a lot of it#growing up my mom was very into tans and neutrals and i was always like 'you could paint any color you want and you picked TAN???'#i was determined that as soon as i had my own place i'd make it all my favorite fun colors and i am making tiny!emily proud#thank you for the ask even though i took forever to get to it!!!!#inkdippedmain#ask#long post

Nox, The Ferrymen, and The Noxial cant
Nox's design drew me in. Nox's backstory kept me there. In the end, she became one of my favorite characters for both prior points alone. Which is why she received a lot of attention in the Cults, Cultures, and Cants Alternate universe project.
Not much to say right now, other than I have an idea of what her cult and language would be like. So, let's get into it.
Part 1: The Ferrymen
Beyond having each member's motivation be them just being obsessed with and immersed in death, there is not much I can say for the Ferrymen besides the fact that they each are vessels themselves for the remnants that Nox could have born all her own if she was still in canon. However, their presence provides a lightening of that load by taking a fraction of the souls from Nox into themselves. Through a process comparable to pouring a full cup of water into another glass until both are half full and both glasses being poured into a third one until each one is one third full and so on, the burden of the souls becomes easier to bear with each new member that joins the Ferrymen cult.
But that is just a perk of membership. The Boons (additional abilities found by joining a cult) of the Ferrymen include being able to summon a puddle of black viscous liquid that the Ferryman can sink into and rise from at almost any location allows them to be very mobile and hard to pin down. Which begs the question of why Nox herself didn't use this ability when she got captured still by the MBCC. The Rite (an ability performed by the entire cult, especially with the patron present) of this cult is still up in the air. But it may be that it has something to do with conjuring a black miasma that will drain the lifeforce of any pour soul within and forcefully absorb them into the ferryman soul collective.
As for aesthetics, the Ferrymen dress like they are constantly attending a funeral with their all-black clothing. They very much act like they are at one as well. However, the color scheme is the only common denominator among them as the cut and style of each member's clothing can vary wildly. Ranging from Sunday's best to raggedy strips to straight utilitarian. There are suits and ties, Lab coats, vestments, and a variety of chains, tokens, sigils, and even a top hat.
Weapons also vary among each member as well. There are the usual suspects like swords and spears. Others that need little imagination like hammers and scalpels. Some raise eyebrows like anchors, syringes, and even a book. All of them seem to reflect on that member's background before joining a cult. Such as a coffin maker wielding a hammer and some nails with brutal accuracy and a mortician with his various scalpels and a syringe filled with a black liquid that suspiciously resembles the liquid of their teleportation puddles.
And that is the gist of what I have in mind. Now, onto the Cant.
Part 2: Noxial.
Not much to say here, as I have recently gotten into making this. But I was initially stumped with what sort of feel I wanted the language to have. I knew for sure at the beginning that I wanted it to be a "language of the dead" but that could literally mean anything. Without a source of inspiration, I went to my conlanger Idol, Agma Schwa, and his cursed conlang, Hallowed Ween,
youtube
Granted, there were some interesting details in this language that I will definitely steal for Noxial. Namely, the naming system that tells when, why, and where a soul died, pronominal morphology that turns a pronoun into a personal modifier. Other than that, I didn't like the phonoaesthetic of Hallowed Ween, or I didn't really think that it would fit in with what I had in mind for Noxial. So, I was still stumped on that front. That was, until it hit me.
One language that inspired me in terms of phonoaesthetic was Babelingua's Lower East Wall,
youtube
The way the language is always whispered and gives the feeling of voices constantly muttering outside one's range of hearing. It was exactly what I wanted for Noxial. Another conlang was Kayinth's 'sksäx,
youtube
The clusters, voicelessness, and occasional vowel did nothing but reinforce the idea that this is what I want for the Ferrymen's cant.
Thus, Noxial will have little, if any, vowels and all consonants will be voiceless and breathy voiced at most.
Other than that, the rest of the conlang is still, very much, a work in progress.
Conclussion
There is still a lot to work on with the Ferrymen cult and the Noxial Cant. To be honest, I got inspired by this YouTube video,
youtube
To share my WIPs with you all on this site and the internet in general. From this point forward, I will be giving updates when I can on breakthroughs and developments as I continue to work on this faction and the other ones in the future.
For those of you who read this far, thanks.
With all that said, till next time... ;).

every month of 2021
post your favorite or most popular post from each month this year (and itâs ok to skip months)
tagged by @kimtaehyunqâ and @thatredwine uwu
i only made this blog at the end of may, so thereâs only six months worth of content, but iâll still pick out some of my favorites âĽâĽÂ
june
get to know me meme, kim seokjin -- this was my first (actual) set, and itâs nothing too special or flashy, but itâs the first!! so itâs special to me uwu
get to know me meme, sope -- this was the first set to actually take off and get some traction (which is exactly what sope deserves) and i luv it still to this day!!
get to know me meme, maknae line -- this set was quick to follow the second one, and i specifically remember the kindness and praise in the tags of peopleâs reblogs, and it made me very warm and fuzzy inside :â)
july
random bangtan edits, kim seokjin -- this lethal set still makes me 𤪠when i think about it
get to know me meme, kim namjoon + jung hoseok -- i just really like the way these sets turned out, i think the gifs look really smooth and nice :)
get to know me meme, black swan -- the same as above, i think these gifs came out looking cool and smooth, esp the winged jimin one. i also tried a new coloring and even if it didnât stick around, i think it fit the theme of the mv very well!
august
random bangtan edits, namkook -- i made this set on a whim after watching run bts, and itâs one of my most popular sets to this day. understandably so, too, since itâs literal comedy gold. (team mint choco all the way)
get to know me meme, dionysus choreo -- as a big choreography fan, iâm happy this set took off too. itâs absolutely what this unit of a song deserves. also, those dance practices are Not easy to color.
days of jinkook, day three -- i started this series for fun because i love jinkookâs dynamic so much, and this set still holds the top spot for the most popular one. look at them!!!
september
namjoonâs birthday event: mono, favorite habit, favorite looks, favorite relationship, intro: persona -- these are kind of all clumped together because they go together, but iâm really proud of what i did for this birthday event. it was the first one i participated in, and i experimented with some new content making styles (due to time crunch mostly), and i was so floored at how well received it was. âĽ
october
jimin birthday event: theme one, cutie -- all of these sets somehow took off (which is incredible), but this one really took off. and i donât blame anyone, because look at him. this was the second birthday event i did, too, and i had a lot of fun making content for a member i donât usually create content for!
jimin birthday event: theme three, lovely -- this is my second most popular set on my entire blog (i think), and oddly enough this was the set i was the most nervous about. i wasnât sure about how my gifs fit the theme, but everyone was so kind and receptive :â)))
pink seokjinnie -- another set i just made on a whim because look!!! at him!!! the cutest softest boy that ever was. this was also my first time using my New(tm) photoshop, so even if thereâs not a huge difference, i was excited to try out another technique!!
november
random bangtan edits: airplane pt. 2 jin -- i made this because i love to torture myself :~) giving the people what they want, not what they asked for
jinâs birthday countdown -- honestly i just put the entire event i did. i didnât see one that anyone else had made, so i took what little time off i had at the time and just made my own sort of countdown to celebrate the love of my life. i really am proud of what i managed to accomplish in such little time ;o;
ptd on stage: yoongiâs dancey dance -- this is the most popular set iâve ever made! i donât know how it happened, as i made it completely on a whim and posted it randomly, but iâm so happy people liked it. his little wiggles really just took me out.
december
jinâs birthday set -- i just love this man and iâm so happy i could do something to show that love okay. iâm not always great with words and iâm still shy and donât know how to express all the things i want, but this really helped me :â))
taehyungâs birthday countdown: green theme -- this event is still on going and iâm really excited!! i was also super nervous about this set, i didnât think it looked good but i didnât have enough time to tweak it. instead, it was warmly received and everyoneâs words of encouragement really inspired me to be less critical of myself ;o; thank you all âĽ
iâm still learning and trying my best to improve every day, and iâm always thankful when people interact with the content i make. iâve never been a huge worrier when it comes to notes or anything, i truly just like to mess around and make fun stuff, but when people are so nice and encouraging and kind, it really does make all of the hardwork worth it. thank you from the bottom of my tiny little heart đĽş

Straw Hats as Fashion Trends that makes me go insane*
*you can wear whatever want to express yourself or whatever you like idc. What i hate if when brands⢠overprice shit bc is "trendy" or set stupid trends like these. Seriously, dont look up the price of some of these
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Enjoy!
Detachable Shorts
Of course this feature was a need in the trouser world, think about the people with hot knees
I think it would be funny if Luffy wore this and undo the buckles to get into fight mode. The trouser equivalent of putting down the straps in your crocs.
Tits Out. [period]
Your arms are always cold? Hate vests? Well this is for you!
Still, i think this is so fitting for Zoro, we respect our tits out king and adds a little bit of himbo energy i appreciate.
Oda draws weird shit like this all the time
Yes this item was for sale and not on etsy. Why? beats me but here we are
I think its a nice refference to pre timeskip Nami outfits, but it actually fits into the post timeskip fanservice theme. I seriously see Nami wearing that.
Cool but why
Its a cool recycling project but im not even going to talk why brands selling these upset me.
I think i would be a fitting addition to Usopp's funky hats collection. Not only he would pull it off, he would steal the desing and make one himself like the king he is.
Pretty but WHYYY
I really like the effect and sawing this fabric is hard af but is more of a texture thing for me. Also my little practical self is screaming at this gloves but i see the aesthetic pleasing side i guess
So naturally i gave the gay gloves to Sanji. Tell you you cant picture him wearing these with his WCI white suit, come on do it, lie to me.
A classic we love to hate
Not you Chopper you are a delight. Im talking about the clear plastic backpacks. In case you missed thia trend, the issues with this are as clear as the bag itself.
So naturally, bc he always carries one, i gave the backpack to Chopper. Hope he fills it with colorful candy
I have vivid memories of this being a thing at some point
This are more of a pre timeskip item since they are from mis 2000's but yeah. They are useless, impractical and they offend me
Yet, i think Robin could've feature a look in a filler or something with these...anklets? I guess? Not the most far fetched imo
Cut and pin.
Not an issue of looks but of pricing. This are cute little tops but overpriced af, they just cut it and pin it.
Nevertheless, they scream Franky to me. They even kinda follow Franky's own stiches on his chest lmao
At a lost for words
I just dont get it. This is not a price thing, just a ok but why? thing.
If someone can do weird shit and get away with it is Brook and i love him for it. He could show up one day at Sunny wearing his coat backward and i wouldnt question it. I imagine him wearing that as a fancy look in a movie. He already wears high heels on the reg, and idk why but i know he has a pair of fishnets.
This fuck me up to this day
I dont mind the ilusion drawing idea, but seeing a whole rack of these in a sleep deprived state kinda fucks up your mind. I dont think it was a clever trend for clothes tho and im glad it died away.
I dont think Jinbe would wear the shirt, but hear me out. His kimono but in that stile, custom made. One day Usopp, Chopper and Luffy will paint it in and is going to be hilarious to see Jinbe walking around like a Father that let his kids do his hair and nails.
You can find more idiot post like this in my tag #straw hats as i make no promise of quality but i have fun
#one piece#straw hats as#fashion trends#luffydmonkey#luffy d monkey#monkey d luffy#one piece zoro#roronoa zoro#one piece sanji#black leg sanji#one piece nami#one piece usopp#chopper#tony tony chopper#one piece robin#nico robin#one piece franky#soul king brook#one piece brook#knight of the sea jinbe#one piece jinbe#straw hat crew#straw hat pirates

âCanât,â he sighed, âcanât come again.â
He looked so painfully adorable when he begged like that, his brow glistening with sweat as he jerked under your touch. âAw, poor baby,â you pouted, twisting your hand when it stroked over the head of his cock, âyes you can. I know you can. Just gimme one more.â
âF-fuck,â he whimpered, âMistress, pleaseâ just stop, please, I canât⌠canât take any moreâŚâ
âI know you can, sweetheartâ I know you can be my good boy and keep coming for me. Tell me your color.â
âYellow,â he whispered.
âThink youâre almost done?â you pressed, smiling when he nodded breathlessly. âYeah, thereâs my good boyâ gonna come again for your Mistress?â
âYes,â he breathed, baring his teeth as his hips bucked wildly to try to avoid further sensation, ây-yes, one more, just one more, Iâm gonnaâ fuck, gonna come, just donât stop⌠fuck, it hurts.â
âI know, but youâre being so good for me,â you purred. âYou like it when I milk your pretty cock, donât you? Even though it hurts?â
He winced but nodded. âC-coming, Mistress, fuck, Iâm comingâŚ!â
Since it was his fifth of the evening, he could only give you one thick drop of come that gathered at his slit before running down over your hand which finally slowed to a stop.
You both sighed with relief as you pulled your hand away and leaned back, admiring how beautiful he looked as he caught his breath, covered in come and sweat.
"Good job," you praised with a chuckle, "I hope I didn't go too hard on you."
"N-no, that was⌠that was really good," he sighed, slumping back onto the bed. "Can I use your shower before I go?"
"Yeah, totally," you nodded.
After a long pause, you gave him a confused look. Â
"I thought you were gonna shower?" you reminded him.
"Oh⌠I guess I have to get up for that," he sighed, making you laugh.
"Rest a bit longer. You've had a⌠challenging afternoon."
He nodded a little and you got up from the bed to go wash your hands and freshen up a little, smiling at your own appearance in the mirrorâ sometimes you forgot how you looked when you did this, but there was an undeniable aura of power around you⌠especially after a session like that.
This was only your third week with James, and already the dynamic felt so natural between youâ and yet, so fresh compared to your other clients. Normally it took longer for a newbie to get comfortable with you, yet most of them had had multiple doms before and here was James, totally inexperienced and taking it all like a champ. There was an air of innocence about him, you figured, in contrast to this undeniable strength and intensity that you caught glimpses of from time to time.
Sometimes, it felt like he was chasing an innocence he lost a long time ago. Whatever it was that drew him to this, you were happy to help him along the way.
It was probably a little dangerous to enjoy sessions with a client so much; even though you often pretended that everything was about your pleasure and not theirs, obviously since they were the paying customer it was the complete opposite in reality. But there was an equity to the dynamic with you and Bucky, he served you with a real dedication rather than for his own gain. And you, meanwhile, had rediscovered the fun in this career that had originally drawn you to it in the first place. It was less like a science now, more like an artâ you let yourself go with your instincts and do whatever felt right in the moment, and both of you benefitted for it. Â
âCome on, get up and clean yourself off,â you encouragedâ gently, of courseâ as you left the bathroom and returned to find James laying sprawled out on the bed.
âI know you said falling asleep here was a one-time courtesy,â he remembered with a smile, âbut I could use it now a lot more than I needed it then.â
Honestly, you didnât see him smile that often. It was pleasant; you hoped to see it again. He did get up, though, and take the washcloth you handed him to wipe off the come that had gotten all over him. âWhat are you thinking for next week?â you asked as you leaned against the wall. âAny special requests?â
âWe can discuss all that over the phone,â he decided. You still didnât understand fully why he didnât like to discuss future scenes in person; it was like he wanted the in-person interactions to be as âin characterâ (if you will) as possible.
âAlright, just keep me updated,â you requested with a shrug.
You got changed while he took his shower, and when he emerged to the living room he seemed surprised to see you sitting on your own couch. After a moment, you realized it was the fact that you were in normal clothes that threw him off. âI donât think Iâve ever seen you in jeans before⌠or pants of any kind.â
You looked down at your outfit with a smile, glad it was at least still professional and not sweats and a t-shirt or something. âYeah, I guess you havenât. First time for everything, right?â
âYeah, had a lot of first times with you,â he chuckled. âMost significantly less mundane than this.â
A brief silence filled the room but it wasnât exactly awkward, at least not for you.
âWell, Iâll see you next week,â he decided as he grabbed his jacket from your chair and slipped it on. Youâd been spending most of this session trying to forget how good he looked in the leather motorcycle cut, so that was out the window now as you tried to keep from visibly biting your lip while he walked towards the door.
Damn, he was fine. But there were more pressing matters at hand. Like preparing yourself and your apartment for your next appointment. This guy wanted to get slapped around until he cried⌠shouldn't be too difficult, but your arms would probably be sore tomorrow.
Opposite of last week, I really want you to edge me tonight, as long as possible.
Don't go easy on me, make me hold it in. I need a challenge this week.
-J
It was odd how emails from James made your week.
He seemed to prefer to communicate his desire with you this way; maybe it was easier for him, and you couldnât really blame him for that. The nice part was that you didnât have to temper your reactions, if you had any, since you were always alone when you got his messages. You might be old hat at it now, but you could remember a time that you had to hide a grimace when a client told you to your face what he wanted. Not that you would shame them for it or anything (unless, you know, they paid you to), but you didnât enjoy everything you did with these men.
Did you enjoy everything you did with James? Yes, but you were pretending not toâ for your own sake.
You dressed a bit differently for todayâs session, more conservatively⌠not that it was especially conservative by any other personâs standards. But it left your legs and chest covered, somewhat in the spirit of âmean corporate businesswomanâ aesthetically. For some reason you felt like using a riding crop required wearing pants.
James certainly didnât seem to mind, with the way he nervously cleared his throat after you opened the door.
âGood to see you again,â you greeted formally, âplease, come in.â
He stepped past you, still looking at you and not at what was in front of him, meaning he ended up slamming himself gut-first into your kitchen island.
âOh! Are you alright?â you smiled when you noticed.Â
âYeah, Iâm good,â he nodded, rubbing his stomach for a second but recovering quickly. âI told you I can take a lot of pain,â he joked.
âWell, weâre going to put that to the test today,â you promised cryptically. âYou mustâve seen the crop on the table.â
He nodded again. âYeah....â
âAre you looking forward to it?â
âYes,â he answered, a bit too quickly.
âThen letâs get you tied up, James.â
Straddling his lap, you realized the rope was a bit too tight when you saw it digging into his skin; maybe he wouldnât mind that, but you did, so you pushed the rope back through itself to loosen it slightly.
âHow long did it take you to learn all these knots?â he asked casually, watching your fingers nimbly work the ropes around his wrists.
âNot too long,â you shrugged, âIâve only been doing this a few years⌠but I knew them before that.â
âBoating school? Boy Scouts?â he suggested jokingly.
âJust a hobby,â you decided, dodging the covert question about your past. âWere you a Boy Scout?â
âDo I look like a Boy Scout?â he countered with a scoff.
âNot anymore,â you shrugged, âbut I bet you did once. Youâre sorta innocent, you know.â
He swallowed dryly, and you raised an eyebrow as you glanced from the knot you were tightening to his face, which looked a bit flustered. âR-really?â
âYeah,â you confirmed, leaning back on your heels to look at him straight-on. âAre you surprised to hear that?â
He nodded quickly, and you laughed.
âAw, you thought you were so kinky, huh? So dirty,â you purred, running your hand up his leg until he tugged slightly on the newly-tied ropesâ a subtle way to get him to test them for you. âBut youâre really not. Youâre just my sweet, innocent boy.â
He whinedâ really, properly whinedâ and you dug your nails into his skin until he hissed instead.
âI donât think you believe me,â you noticed, leaning back to reach for the crop behind you. âYou think youâre so filthy and perverted, right? Are you a pervert, James?â
âYes,â he breathed, shivering as you let the crop slide gently over his skinâ his abs, his hips, his legs which were already quivering so adorably. âYes, Mistress.â
âAnd howâs that?â
âI think about⌠getting hurt,â he admitted weakly, âwhen I touch myself. And I touch myself all the fucking time.â
âYeah? How many times a day do you stroke that pretty cock, James?â
âTwice every morning,â he blurted out, âafter that it depends.â
You didnât let yourself show your surprise at that number. âDepends on what?â
When he hesitated, you hit him sharply on the thigh and he winced. âDepends on what I⌠what I end up thinking about. Sometimes⌠sometimes something reminds me, and I have to get off.â
Something told you not to press on what it was that he needed to be reminded of, and why it made him want to jerk off so bad. Something told you he wasnât ready to tell that story yet. âDid you touch yourself today already?â you asked instead.
âNo, no maâam,â he shook his head, voice wavering as you brushed the crop over his chest, âitâs⌠itâs different with you.â
âYeah, I bet it is,â you smirked, hitting him on the stomach quickly. âI bet youâre finally satisfied, right? Nothingâs ever worked for you before.â
âYes,â he moaned, crying out slightly when you hit him on the arm (fleshâ you were too afraid what sound the metal one would make) much harder than before. âThe nights I see you, I⌠I can sleep.â
âYou sleep better?â
âNo, I just⌠sleep.â
You tried not to react to that, moving to a new question instead. âDo you want me to hit you again? Or do you want me to stroke your cock for you?â
An obvious choice to some, surely, but he seemed to really struggle with it.
âWhich one do you think you deserve?â you asked instead.
âHit me more,â he decided.
Instantly, you struck him once on the face and again on the shoulder, then moved down to his legs for three in a row in spite of the way his body jerked away instinctively. Â
âFuck,â he sobbed, âdonât stopâ I need moreâŚâ
You focused on his legs, on the inside of his thigh where he seemed the most sensitive. His twisted joy turned to true fear, though, when you brushed the end of the crop over his balls. âDo you want me to hit you here?â you challenged.
âI⌠I donât know,â he stammered.
âLetâs make a deal, James,â you offered, âwherever I hit you, Iâm gonna kiss it to make it better.â
âThen hit me wherever you want,â he nodded, almost smiling at you. He cried through his teeth when you whipped his shaft with the cropâ not especially hard, in fact quite delicately, though the second was harder. And the third, though not much more aggressive, was right on the sensitive tip; his eyes shot open and his hips jerked away.
âSo good, such a good boy,â you whispered proudly, putting the crop aside to lean in and kiss his cheek where youâd hit him before, his shoulder, his arm.
You worked your way down carefully as he breathed heavily beneath you, whimpering slightly when you kissed his thighs and notably ignored his flexing, leaking cock. âPlease,â he whimpered.
âShh, be patient,â you soothed, âbe my good boy.â
âYour good boy,â he repeated, trying to restrain himself but already bucking up into the air again, âfuck, wanna be your good boy, Mistress.â
âAre you already close, pet, just from getting hurt?â you asked in a faux pout. âYouâre not gonna come if I give your pretty cock some kisses, right?â
âIâ I wonât come,â he promised. âNot until I get permission.â
âBaby, itâs gonna be a long fuckinâ time before you get permission,â you promised with a toothy grin. âLook down at me, honey, I want you to see this.â
He hesitated for a second but obeyed, looking down at you with an expression that was full of awe as you gripped his cock and gave gentle, teasing kisses up his shaft. It bobbed in your hands with each one, and he let out the most beautiful sigh when you kissed the tip carefully.
A wide lick made him jerk beneath you. âF-Fuck,â he stammered.
âYou said you wouldnât come,â you reminded him. âCan I keep going? Are you gonna be a good boy?â
âDonât stop, please,â he breathed, âIâll be good.â
Taking the head between your lips, you suckled gently as he shivered and moaned. You werenât sure youâd ever been with anybodyâ on or off the clockâ who was so sensitive. And you loved it, honestly; who could resist those precious noises he made?
As much as part of you wanted to go nuts and really push him to the edge, you tried to be gentle and careful so as not to make it impossible for him to hold back. But even then, when you gently grasped his balls in one of your hands and squeezed them, he apparently couldnât take anymore.
"S-stop," he hissed, and you pulled back, sitting up.
"You were close?" you asked, and he nodded a little. "Oh, what a good boy."
He whimpered briefly. "Yes, your good boy, MistressâŚ"
Your fingers trailed delicately up the underside of his cock, making him shiver violently. "I know you want to come, but you want to be good even more. You're such a sweet little pet."
It seemed like the praises did more to keep him on the edge than the touches, so you kept both going; wrapping your fingers around the ridge of his head, you gave the most gentle and subtle strokes, and leaned in to whisper against his ear.
âIs this why you wanted me to edge you today, James? So you could show me how good you can be?âÂ
âI-I donât know,â he blurted out, rocking his hips as best he could while restrained, âI just wanted to⌠I just wanted you to make me wait.â
âWell, you donât need to worry about that,â you laughed slightly, âI can make you wait all day. Is that what you want?â
âNo, thatâsâ not that long, I canât wait that long,â he shuddered.
âMm, that sounds like your problem, not mine,â you smirked. âNot sure why I asked what you want, honestly⌠cause I donât fucking care.â
His choked-out whine was too perfect to ignore.
âOh, what a pathetic little moan that was, poor baby,â you cooed mockingly, âare you regretting it now? Youâre probably wondering what you got yourself into, âcause youâre worried Mistress is never gonna let you come.â
âNo, I donât regret it,â he denied weakly, âwhatever you wantâ do whatever you want to me, just⌠give me what I deserve, please.â
You stopped touching him completely and he straight-up sobbed. âYou donât deserve anything from me, James. You donât deserve me at all.â
He told you before that he liked when you rapidly cycled between soft and mean. Kept him on his toes, apparently. Honestly, you felt a little guilty talking to him that way sometimes, but his cock leaking enough pre-cum to soak the bedsheets beneath him was a sign you were doing something right. âI know!â he cried. âI know, fuck, Iâm sorry, but I need you. I fucking need you, Mistress, pleaseâ you know Iâll do anything.â
âIâm feeling generous today,â you shrugged, âso I wonât ask you for much. Just beg me a little more.â
âPlease, pleasepleaseplease,â he rushed, âtouch me. Anywhere, whatever you want, I just need to feel you. I know I⌠fuck, I know I donât deserve it, but let me try toâ to earn it. Please.â
You knew if he had it his way, he wouldnât do much talking at all. But you couldnât just let him have it his way, now could you? It was better to make him just the right amount of nervous, just the slightest hair uncomfortable, by making him talk to you. And, of course, you liked the way his deep and rough voice got all whiny and needy like this.
One finger under his chin guided him to look up at you, those pretty blue eyes watery and sparkling and wide with misplaced innocence.
âTell me who you belong to, James,â you instructed darkly.
âYou, Mistress,â he whispered, âIâm yours, Iâ oh fuckâŚâ
Unshockingly, he was reduced to only moans again when you started stroking his cock, the slick precum making every movement smoother. âAll mine, huh? My little toy?â you confirmed, but he could only nod and swallow thickly.
You sped up quickly, getting faster and faster until you were really, properly jerking him off and he was biting hard on his lip. Just when he seemed to really fall into it, get almost comfortable, you had to stop.
"Oh, fuckâ" he gasped, bucking his hips up to try to chase your hand when you pulled away, but it was no use with him tied up. You watched his cock bob in the air and smiled.
âDid you think it was going to be that easy?â you smirked.
Shaking his head, you tilted yours to look at him, reaching up to trace your fingers over his chest. Â
âDonât lie, baby, you thought I was gonna let you come, didnât you? Youâre so sweet, James, and so, so stupid.â
He gasped, and for a second you thought you mightâve gone too far, but it shifted to a moan quickly and you realized he was having the time of his life.
âJust my dumb, brainless little toy,â you continued with a snarl, watching him tug at the ropes as his eyes fluttered shut. âItâs okay, James, itâs okay⌠you donât need to think, I donât want your mind. Itâs useless. I want this pretty cock, thatâs all I want from you.â
âItâs all yours, Mistress,â he promised, cheeks burning bright red and eyes forced shut. âAll of it, I swear.â
âI know,â you cooed, holding his face gently to soothe him a bit. But then your other hand wrapped around his cock and he was anything but soothed. âShh, shh, donât make any sounds, youâre just a toy and toys need to stay quiet.â
You missed his noises, actually, but he looked so cute biting his lip and struggling to suppress them. His cock was so swollen in your hand that you honestly wondered if it was somehow getting bigger. Was that even possible? Your mouth was watering regardless.
âIâm gonna give you a little break,â you promised gently, âbut Iâll be honest, pretty boy⌠I donât think youâre gonna like it one bit.â
The look he gave you beautifully balanced fear with anticipation, and you stopped stroking him to reach over towards the bedside drawer and pull out a vibrator.
âYour Mistress is feeling a little.... self-indulgent today,â you winked. âAnd since I, unlike you, donât need to hold myself back from coming, I think I might as well get myself off if I want to.â
His throat bobbed as he swallowed dryly, watching you closely as you stood up off the bed and started to carefully undress yourself. It was a lot more fun to get naked when you were wearing something that didnât actually show much skinâ the button-up seemed to really get him going, his tongue mindlessly darting out to lick his lips as you opened one button at a time.
Once it was off your shoulders and on the floor, and he could see the almost-transparent bra you had on, you moved to opening your trousers as well. Just to be mean, you faced the other way as you pushed them down over your ass; you heard his breath catch and you smirked to yourself, spinning to face him again in just the matching, dark red bra and panty set.
âWhat do you think, do you like this better than the black ones?â you asked coyly.
âI like you naked better than both,â he answered, and you grinned.
âIâm gonna let that backtalk slide just once because itâs not worth my time to go over there and slap you for it,â you decided. âBut donât test me, James.â
âYes, Mistress,â he answered dutifully, sounding a bit out of breath as he watched you climb back onto the bed, positioning yourself carefully.
You faced him straight-on and laid your legs over his, meaning your lace-covered pussy was in full view and only inches from his leaking cockâ the damn thing looked sore by now, purple at the tip and just as desperate for attention as the rest of him.
When you pulled the fabric aside to show him your cunt, he hissed and looked away.
âLook at me, James, keep your eyes open,â you demanded, seeing how totally wrecked he looked when he turned his head back to you and stared down at your body with half-lidded eyes. âLook at how fucking soaked my pussy is. You remember how it feels to be inside it, donât you?â
He swallowed, sighed, and finally (just barely) nodded.
âYou remember how hot and wet and tight it is, donât you?â
âY-yes,â he choked.
âWell, that memoryâs all youâve got to work with, sweet boy, because I donât think Iâm ever gonna let you fuck this pussy again.â
He really, properly sobbed, tears streaming down his cheeks, and those arms flexed against the ropes defiantly. âN-no, pleaseââÂ
âIâm gonna make myself come with this,â you promised, interrupting him as you grabbed the vibe, âand I want you to remember how it feels when I come around you, okay? Â
Turning it on, you wasted no time pressing it to your clit, moving the end of the toy in slow circles and keeping a close eye on him as he watched you. Your intention had always been to give him a show, but the embarrassing thing was how little of it was an act. Ironically, even though youâd been edging him this whole time, having to touch him that way without any pleasure for yourself was almost as torturous. Youâd soaked through your panties by the time you had him tied up, to be totally honest. So, giving into it and letting yourself feel good was a breeze.
âThink about when I was riding you, James,â you instructed, your own voice clearly affected by your pleasure now. âThink about how good it would feel if I let you come inside me.â
âOh, god,â he cried, leaning his head back.
âThink about my pussy milking every fucking drop of come out of you. You know I wouldnât let you stop until I was completely full of your come, I bet youâd like that. I bet youâd like to eat your come out of me, you sick little pervert.â
âFuck!â he yelped, tugging at the ropes harder nowâ for a second you thought he might really break them and jump you. And for a second, you knew youâd let him. It made your walls clench as you imagined facing the consequences of driving a man to the brink of insanity until he couldnât help but fuck you like an animal. It was a good thing he didnât see you bite your lip as you imagined that.
âYou know what Iâm thinking about?â you taunted. Â
âGod, donât tell me,â he sighed through his teeth, but obviously you ignored him.
âIâm thinking about what a good boy you are for me,â you cooed, your hips starting to rock up against where you held the end of the vibrator; you pressed it down harder onto your clit and moaned instantly. âYeah, Iâm thinking about how pretty you look when youâre all desperate and needy and fucking patheticââ
âOhââ he choked.
âMy dumb litlte whore, thatâs all you are, James,â you groaned. âI know you wish you could touch me, itâs all you can think about, right? That pretty head of yours would be completely empty if it werenât for thoughts of me and how badly you want me. Right?â
âYes,â he whispered huskily.
A shiver ran up your spine when the vibrator bumped into a more sensitive part of you, and you did it again and again until you thought you might lose it a bit faster than you meant to. âThis toy feels really good,â you informed him in a purr, gasping when you slipped the vibrating body of it into your pussy, âbut it doesnât feel as good inside me as you do.â
His eyes fell shut but he still winced a bit every time you made a sound; he couldnât run from this, no matter how hard he tried.
âOh James,â you moaned loudly, fucking yourself with the vibe for a moment before you pulled it back out to focus even harder on your clit, âIâm gonna come. Iâm so, so close⌠I can feel it getting stronger, I think I might make a mess on these sheets. And the only way Iâm ever gonna let you come is if you watch me do it. So open your fucking eyes.â
He blinked quickly as he opened them, gaze scanning your whole body before settling on your cunt; you were sure he could see it pulsing as you got closer and closer, you knew he was imagining how it would feel. You only spared a brief glimpse at his cock, bobbing between his legs, and wished you could just slip it in you now and come while it stretched you out.Â
But that wasnât what he was here for, sadly, and you were sure you were the only being truly denied of your desires, despite how it probably seemed from the outside.
âOh my god,â you breathed, numbness starting to tingle in your legs as your orgasm built up quicker than even you expected. âIâm comingâ James, Iâm coming, oh, fuck⌠right thereâ yes!â
A gush of heat warmed your cunt at the same time that shocks ran up your spine and down your limbs; you could feel your legs shaking, and you knew he could, too. Â
It got so intense for a second that you had to pull the vibrator away, though you didnât stop coming until a few moments later, eyes falling shut without you meaning for them to.
You actually laughed a bit, breathlessly, as you turned the vibe off and set it aside, although you werenât sure exactly what was supposed to be funny about this per se. When you opened your eyes, you saw James looking down and looking positively defeated. But he looked tense, too, and you sat up on your wobbly legs to get closer to his face. Â
âRelax, James,â you told him firmly as you examined him.
âIâ I canât,â he whispered.Â
âWhy not?â
âIâll come.â
Nothing could fight your wide grin anymore, not when you heard that. âOh, baby⌠are you about to come without even being touched? Is that how much you liked watching Mistress come?â
He nodded, ever so slightly, and you laughed. Not quite a mocking laugh, moreso impressed. Prideful, even. You leaned in to give a wet kiss to his neck, licking over his pulse as he shivered violently.
âThatâs my good boy,â you whispered against his skin. He whined and you cooed soothingly right away, âoh I know, I know. Itâs so unfair, isnât it? Mistress gets to come and you donâtâŚâ
âPlease,â he stammered, âIâm so close, let me come, please.â
âBut I donât wanna see you come, babyâ I wanna see you cry.â
You started to slide your hand down his chest and he jumped up to attention as he tried to squirm away. âNo, please, donâtâ donât touch my cock, not if I canât come.â
âYou can hold it in, canât you?â you pouted.
âNo, I canât, I canât,â he sobbed, watching fearfully as your hand moved down to his stomach and over his hips. Â
âBut I thought you were my good boy,â you frowned, suddenly wrapping your hand tight around his cock as he choked on a gasp.
âMistress!â he sobbed. âPlease, donâtâ donât move your hand, Iâll come.â
"Never fucking tell me what to do," you instructed firmly, just barely stroking as he cried weakly. "I'm gonna touch you however I want and you're not gonna come because you're my good boy, right?"
"No, Mistress, I can't stop it, I'm gonna comeâ stop, pleaseâŚ"
"You'd better not fucking come," you hissed through your teeth, speeding up your movements and watching his eyes shoot wide open, "you'd better hold it in until I'm done with you."
"I'm tryingâ please slow down, can't take itâ"
You shook your head, tutting disapprovingly. "No, baby, I tell you what you can take."
"Ohâ oh god, Mistress, please, please stop, please, I c-can'tâ fuck!"
You pulled your hand away the second his cock started to flex but it was too late: come was shooting from his swollen tip and painting his chest and stomach. You didn't even wait until he was done to backhand him across the face.
"I'm sorry!" he yelled. "I'm so sorry, I couldn't help itâŚ"
You softened slightly when you heard his broken voice, saw the desperation and fear on his faceâ it was real, more real than the fake ânoâs and the encouraging pleas for mercy. "Baby, it's okay, you tried so hard," you soothed instantly.
Hope filled his eyes just as much as tears as he looked up at you. "Am I still your good boy?"
"Always," you smiled, caressing his face where it was already turning red from your slap. Â
You reached down and caressed his cock with the back of your fingers, watching it flex weakly. Â
âLetâs get you cleaned up, alright?â
His lip twitched, almost like a wince. âDo we⌠do we have to stop?â
You quickly glanced at the clock. âUm, no,â you mumbled, âwe still have time. Just tell me what you want.â
âI wanna watch you come againâŚâ he admitted softly. âIs⌠is that okay?â
Although you werenât sure what youâd been expecting, you were still surprised. âYeah, sure.â
âBut⌠but closer this time,â he added, ânot so far away.â
You were literally laying on top of him, how did that count as far away?Â
âI wanna see your face,â he clarified.
âOkay,â you nodded, deciding to indulge him. It was sort of like aftercare, except that this wasnât exactly the âafterâ part yet.
On your knees beside where he was leaning back against the headboard, you slipped your hand down into the lace panties again, finding your clit still swollen but not too sensitive. A little gasp fell from your lips when you touched it, rubbing it carefully with two fingers while he looked up at your face. Â
You felt slightly exposed when he watched you this close, and you didnât know where to look to avoid direct eye contact. Looking at his lips was just a little too tempting, so that wouldnât work.
âMy hands are a little tired,â you explained, âthey might cramp up. Maybe I could use your thighâŚâ
âO-okay,â he nodded, and you removed your fingers from your panties to sit down on the thick muscle of his leg. You felt him tense up under you slightly, and you carefully began to rock your hips until your clit rubbed just right against the inside of your underwear. Surely he could feel how wet you wereâ actually, you both could hear it, almost a wet clicking-like noise as the soaked lace slid against your skin.
The dynamic shifted slightly, not that you minded it, as he watched you ride him carefully. Just as he couldnât hide much from you when he was naked and tied up and baring his soul to you in the kinkiest way possible, you couldnât hide your pleasure from him when he was looking at your face so up-close. You let your hands carefully roam his body, narrowly avoiding the trails of cooling come heâd left on his stomach and chest, until you found his strong shoulders and held onto them for balance.
âFuck,â you mumbled to yourself, biting your lip as your sore clit throbbed against his hard, muscular thigh. Â
âWill you⌠could you kiss me?â he requested quietly, and your heart broke a little bit. You shook your head, and he nodded in understanding.
âIâll kiss you here,â you offered instead, whispering against his skin before you pressed your lips to his forehead, then his cheek, then his jaw. âIs that better, James?â
âIt helps,â he agreed in a sigh. Â
âIâm close,â you warned quietly, pressing your cheek to his and weaving one hand into his hair. âIâm gonna come again, on your thigh.â
âLet me touch you,â he begged, âjust a little, pleaseâŚâ
You nodded, about to reach forward to untie one of his hands, but he snapped the ropes and you had totally forgotten he could do that. He quickly ran his touch all over your body, calloused hands and bound wrists in stark contrast to your soft skin. The metal one was a little cold but it didnât bother you; the other was almost too hot, and it was like being warmed and cooled all at once.
He ran his fingers down your spine, he gripped one of your shoulders, he rubbed your legs: he did everything he must have been wishing he could do this whole time, even gasping as he ran one hand up your chest and over a cup of your bra. Just as you sensed that he was about to ask if he could touch you there, you nodded and felt his metal hand tug down the red lace and grab your breastâ thankfully not very hard, though he did give your nipple a quick pinch which made you gasp.
Burying his face in the crook of your neck, he finally settled his hands on holding your hips, just tight enough to slightly guide your movements as you rocked faster and more desperately. âPlease come,â he begged weakly, âMistress, please⌠use me.â
It sort of hit you all at once then, like a punch to the gut. Except, you know, a lot more fun than getting punched in the gut.
âJames,â you gasped, legs quivering where they straddled his as a new patch of slick soaked the lace (and presumably his thigh as well). He held you tight, kept you moving through it while your fingers tangled in his hair and your mouth fell slack for another, louder moan.
The way his lips moved over your skin, laving your collarbones and pulse point and the innermost corner of your jaw, was positively worshipful; reverent. âMistress,â he whispered, almost sounding like praise but tinted with awe. Your movements slowed down to a stop and the two of you breathed a sigh together, unintentionally. âThank you,â he mumbled.
âWhat for?â you asked, blinking quickly and looking down at him, coming back to reality (though you werenât quite sure where else it was that you had just been).
âI dunno, everything,â he decided.
âDonât thank me,â you smiled. âKeep paying me, though.â
He laughed a little, glancing away. âYeah, and Iâll pay you back for these ropes⌠sorry."
"No, hey, don't be sorry," you dismissed, getting up off of his leg and standing up to go grab a towel for him. "I'm just sorry we still haven't found anything strong enough to hold you."
"It's fine, they're strong enough to make me stop myself when I want to do something I shouldn't, that's all that really matters."
You nodded to yourself as you dampened the towel and came back to wipe him off.
"I can do that for myself," he reminded you, sounding a bit embarrassed, but you thought it was sweet.Â
âYou just focus on getting those ropes off of yourself,â you decided with a little smile.

I tried redesigning Lagoona Blue from the 2022 Monster High live action movie
(they couldnât even make the quirky blurb sound right. âthe bestie with a biteâ sounds better đ)
so. when I first saw the trailer for Monster High: The Movie (2022), I had trouble trying to find Lagoona. then I searched out promos and YouTube reviews, and was horrified to discover her movie design. compared to other charactersâwhere they at least tried to make them look like their original counterpartsâshe looked so unlike herself I wouldnât even begin to think it was her if you told me.
a human skin tone instead of greenish blue, barely noticeable finsâa general lack of obvious sea monster features, and the features that are there are immediately toned down by the fact she looks too human, which is completely not the point of being a sea monster. the outfit they chose for her also makes her look like an Instagram influencer? I can tell what they were going for, but they failed because they seemed to be too scared of accessorizing her more fittingly and made her sorta ânormie-fiedâ. they probably thought going all out would be outdated and cringe or something.
I was devastated. so I took matters into my own handsâI decided I wanted to fix Lagoona Blueâs movie design. sheâs one of my favorites, if not my top favorite nowadays because I really love sea monsters. there are so many different ways to design sea monsters, and they did this? lackluster, to say the least!
ta daaaa! before I break it down I feel like I need to pardon myself for being shamefully unaware of many modern fashion trends, but I tried to style her best I could to whatâs sorta trendy with da kids these days.
now, if I allowed myself free range, I wouldâve designed Lagoona a completely different way. but I decided to challenge myself a littleâI wanted to redesign her based on the specific aesthetic the movie wanted, and tried to make it somewhat reasonable enough for a Nickelodeon musical budget.
(above: mood board of collected references, below: breakdown of how I wanted to portray Lagoona)
Iâll start with her outfit. instead of the sporty but stylish beach vibe Lagoona usually has, the movie seemed to gear towards a shiny rainbow appearance, still with a bit of sportiness. I think they want her design to evoke whimsical bubbles and pearls, which they almost achieved, but they simply did not have enough to get that across. Iâve seen several people say how she looks like sheâd be the daughter of the unicorn, not a sea monster. in my redesign, I stuck to the pearly pastel mermaid aesthetic but added more things that would make the vibe a little clearer: holographic tank top, pearls and pearlescent jewelry, holo platform sandals, holo hair tie, iridescent lip gloss, pearly rhinestones on iridescent makeup, and pastel âmermaid hairâ. I probably couldâve eased up on the holo, but you can tell they wanted her to be colorful. these things at least all evoke whimsical pearliness, when all she used to have were a rainbow mesh shirt, drop earrings, silvery scale short tights, metal octopus bracelet, some other kinda chunky bracelet, and see-through iridescent boots. I love a metal octopus bracelet as much as the next guy but it feels like they threw things together.
the next thing to tackle was adding back more sea monster features. Iâm not entirely sure why they didnât want to paint her skin like other characters. even Frankie got to be greenish blue. maybe they were afraid it wouldnât fit their new aesthetic for Lagoona? they did give her some features, Iâll give them that. she has purple nails made to look like claws, back leg fins, ear fins (though I didnât actually notice these for the longest time), and at one point in the trailer she got to show off some CGI monster teeth. but the fins are small and blended into her human skin tone, making them hard to see and honestly kind of ill-fitting. of course, I remedied much of the issues here by giving her back her bluish green color and arm fins. I donât know if she has sea monster teeth for the whole movie or just the CGI scenes, but if she doesnât I made sure to show off my version. I also gave her webbed fingers, but honestly Iâd let those slipâI can imagine giving someone special FX webbed fingers is probably frustrating and limiting, especially on a lower budget. as a final touch, I added little patches of scales. I figure they could maybe pull this off with just makeup like this:
anyway, I guess thatâs it then! Iâm no fashion designer nor a costume designer, I just wished they were a little more inspired with Lagoonaâs appearance (and everybody really, but I had to do my girl Lagoona a little justice). I understand if some things are unreasonable, things can be mixed and matchedâlike, if you donât wanna paint her skin then maybe just the faint scales on certain areas. anything to still show that she is a sea monster, at a monster high school.

these are the hands...
Oikawa Tooru x reader
Content: fluff with a teeny tiny bit of angst, comfort
Words: 1.53k words
a/n: sorry, this has been long overdue lol. Motivation was hard to find dhasdhksajh. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one, itâs a little bit of self-indulgent (I always feel insecure about my hands) XD. This is a gn!reader fic but there is one mention of the word âwomanâ for the sake of description only.
Oikawa Tooru loves your hands.
Every morning, after showering your face with kisses and sweet murmurs, he never fails to kiss your hands. Starting from the wrist towards the palm, then the fingers â one by one, your knuckles, and lastly, the back of your hand.
He always makes lingering kisses at them.
Before he goes to practice, he holds them to his face and basks at your warmth and to your soft and gentle eyes that wordlessly tell him that youâre going to miss him.
When both of you are out on a walk or date, you notice the gentle caress he does to your hands. How he holds them tightly and, every now and then, takes one or both to his lips for kisses and pronouncements of love.
Because of this, you jokingly told him that he may have a hand fetish, to which he gasps a little too much and says, âY/n-chan! I do not!â but groans quietly with, âMaybe I really do.â
You are curious why Tooru gives love and attention to your hands when other people prefer kissing and hugging or appreciating the eyes or lips. Donât be mistaken; both of you love cuddling and staring at each other lovingly.
You, with all your heart, appreciate those lingering touches and kisses he gives. You love the warmth of his breath in those palms of yours. You love how you feel his lips at the back of your hand while whispering love words such as âMi Amor,â âeres tan Bonita, cariĂąo,â âte amo tanto.â You love the way your fingers twitch when they are kissed and extend to him as if wanting for more.
Sometimes, when heâs away, you stare at Tooruâs favorite part of your body. Take notes of the details etched on it. The first thing you notice is that your hands are way different from what your beloved described.
They are not delicate but hard-looking and a little bit rough to touch.
They are dry and look old even when youâre still not that aged.
Your fingers are not tiny, long, slender, and pointy like a womanâs hand should look.
A vein also protrudes, which is hideous to see for you.
Oh, there is also a scar on your left index finger where you got from your high school classmate who accidentally dropped a hot melted glue stick on your finger.
 You canât help but feel insecure about other women with all these descriptions. How they have those aesthetically pleasing hands. How they look good no matter the color of the nail polish. When you and Tooru are invited to an event, you opt to shy your hands away from people to see. Sometimes resting them under the table or putting them at your back. Fingers restless from anxiety and insecurity that is developing you.
Too focused on your own, you did not notice the pain and worried look in Tooruâs eyes. How he badly wants to hold them, play with them, kiss them for all the world to see. You may not have the courage yet to open up to him, but he already knows, and he is going to make it his lifeâs mission to make you feel love in different ways.
Itâs Tooruâs rest day when you finally opened the bottled emotions and insecurities that you kept for a long time. You always tell him that being honest and communicative is essential in building the foundations of your relationship. You were there beside him in his ups and downs. Now, itâs his turn to be there for you â not that he isnât doing his part as your partner.
âI donât understand why you love my hands so much. Itâs not like itâs something that can do magic.â
âFinally.â, Oikawa thought. He reached for you, and with his loving eyes and gentle smile, he ushered you to let your thoughts spill. He squeezes your hand as if to assure you that heâs here for you. You tell him all your thoughts, all your insecurities, and the absurdities you thought of yourself. He is there to listen; he did not utter a word until you were finished. When all things are said and doneâŚ
âI love you with my whole heart with a passion that words are not enough to express, only in kisses, glances, and years of adventure by your side. I pledge to honor you, love you, and cherish you as my partner today and every day. I pledge to hold your hand and be with you for a lifetime.âÂ
 Your lips are quivering. Your husband is pronouncing a part of his vows to you, again. In a different place, with different feelings â more passionate than the last time, more hopeful, more in love. However, his following words to you are new, like heâs been writing, rewriting, and memorizing a new set of vows waiting for the right time to be said.
 âI will forever hold your hands, kiss them all the time, for these are the hands of the person, gentle and strong and full of love for me.
These are the hands that cherish me all throughout the years, and with the slightest touch, comforts me like no other. Accepting my flaws, encouraging my best.
These are the hands of a passionate, dedicated, and hardworking person. The hands that work wonders in things you love doing and show the fruit of your labor.
These are the hands that wipe my tears of sorrow or joy away countless times. The hands that hold me even in my fears and uncertainties.
These hands also work wonders in the kitchen, filling my hunger with warmth and love.
These are the hands that will help me hold our family. The hands that give me strength when I need it.Â
And lastly, these are the hands that, even when wrinkled and aged, I will still be reaching for it, still giving you the same tenderness but with a more intense feeling. Only for you.â
âNow, mi Amor, did I answer your question?â
 You hate that your husband wears that smirk on his face. Itâs annoyingly cute, and itâs so Oikawa Tooru. With a sense of confidence within you, you reached for his face and placed your lips on his, muttering,Â
âYes. Oh yes.â
