Cherry, Cherry 🍒 Chapter 15 🍒
"Shameless"
pre-outbreak! AU!Joel Miller x f!Reader
Word count: 3,469
Summary: secrets are revealed at Sarah's birthday party
WARNINGS: 18+ Only! Mature and Explicit, age gap (reader is 18, Joel is 35), takes place July 2003, (not-so) secret relationship, morning quickie, unprotected piv (reader is later mentioned to be on birth control), Joel being a grumpy protective dad, jealousy, oral (m receiving), someone walks in on you and Joel during an intimate moment, revelation of your relationship (at last!), no use of y/n. If I've left out any tags please let me know!
Author's Note: there was a lot I wanted to cram in here because the next chapter gets quite serious. Also, anyone interested in the "Shameless" song can find it here. Fun fact: it was written by Billy Joel about a decade before Garth Brooks covered it and quite honestly, Garth sings it better. I feel like it just perfectly captures Joel’s feelings about helplessly falling in love.
Series Masterlist
Your phone rings on your nightstand, the tinny Nokia ringtone interrupting your morning quickie with Joel.
"Don't answer it," he pants behind you, slamming into you as he grabs your hips.
"Wasn't going to," you gasp, closing your eyes when he leans down to kiss your neck.
The phone rings again.
"Who's calling at 5:30 in the morning?" he grumbles, lips grazing your ear, his breath hot on your skin. He pulls you upright, his movements slow and steady. He palms your breast in one hand and toys with your clit, enjoying your little cries of pleasure as you snake your arm around to bring him to you for a sloppy kiss.
It doesn't take long for you to come, Joel hitting that hidden spot inside you this way. He stills long enough to relish the sweet, strong pull of your walls seizing around him. "That's it, my beautiful darlin'," he whispers against your neck. The scent of your skin keeps him spellbound, your pulse pounding just beneath his lips. He's going to think about this moment all day at work.
The phone rings again and, frustrated, you reach out to shut off the noise. Joel doesn't part from you, flattening you to the bed as you scramble for the little silver phone. "Not gettin' away that easy," he grunts, his chest pressed to your back. You turn off the phone ringer, cutting the annoying ringtone in mid-play and toss it on the floor where your clothes from last night are discarded.
Joel sweeps your hair to the side, his thighs on either side of your legs as he pumps into you, hands on your waist. Trapped between his legs you feel him even more snugly inside you, the friction almost too much. "Joel!" you moan, half-muffled by the pillow against your cheek.
"That feel good? You gonna come on my cock again, babygirl?"
Just him mentioning it causes an automatic reaction, your body so acclimated to him by now that his pleasure is yours and vice versa. "Yes," you moan again, pushing yourself up slightly to be heard clearly. "Harder!" you eke out.
He rumbles low in his chest, pulse racing, heart feeling like it might just give out, but what a fucking wonderful way to go. Your pleas for more are answered as his thrusts become aggressive. "Fuck!" you whimper, your body on edge as he continues his hard work.
"I can feel ya grippin' me so tight, sweetheart.. Jesus, I never get tired of feelin' you this way."
"Joel.." you beg. "Don't stop, don't stop..."
He sustained his pace, beads of sweat starting to surface on his skin and yours, his hands on your shoulders for leverage. When you break apart, cunt throbbing, hips and ass arching up to get every inch of him soaked with your sweetness, he can't help but finally let go, slamming into you one final time as he spills every drop into you, staying still, keeping you at an angle so that you get all of it, all of him.
With Joel in the shower (it took a lot of willpower not to join him, but he was already late for work due to your morning fuckfest), you find your phone on the floor and see who called you.
Of course it was your mom.
Three calls, two voicemails, and plenty of texts.
Suppressing a groan, you dial her back, quickly wrapping a blanket around yourself and heading out to the hallway.
She answers with an annoyed tone. "What are you doing that's so important that you can't call back immediately?"
You roll your eyes. "Mom.. it's super early and it's my day off. Can't I sleep in?"
"You should start waking up early, go outside, get some exercise, it's good for you. Plus school is starting soon anyway. Don't you want to pursue good habits?"
"Yeah," you tell her, though it's honestly the last thing on your mind. This summer has distracted you from everything you hoped you'd do, and given you something even better, something you never thought you'd have.. love.. sex.. things most people took for granted but you'd been gifted with simply for being in the right place at the right time.
"Tell me why I have a bill from my insurance for a gynecologist visit."
A large lump forms in your throat, as if a natural instinct to block the truth from coming out. You'd rarely lied to your mom simply because she was good at hounding the truth from you.
"I had a UTI. Sofia recommended a good doctor." In truth you'd gone to get on the pill, a decision you'd been proud of, taking care of your sexual health. Not to mention it made Joel more excitable than ever, and almost every night had been spent with him filling you up.
"Okay.." your mom doesn't sound completely satisfied with that answer, but she lets it go. You talk a little about your summer so far, talk about her boyfriend and the road trips they take. You pray she never makes the trip out here to ruin the peacefulness of the newfound independence you've forged for yourself.
"What're you doin' out here?" Joel asks, finding you leaning against the wall. He's freshly showered, dark hair slick, skin scented with Irish Spring soap. His dark red tee clings to every muscle, even the little belly you're so fond of that he sometimes feels insecure about.
"I had to make a call," you tell him, exhaling sharply as he removes the blanket hiding your body.
"Come on, lemme see."
Your heart thuds in your ears as you open your legs, the remnants of his cum leaving a sticky trail on your skin.
"God damn.. I never get tired of that sight.. gonna fill ya up again soon, babygirl. And don't forget about tomorrow."
Tomorrow.. Sarah's birthday barbecue..
"Sure thing, darlin'. Oh by the way, I put some air in your tire, it was lookin' a little flat. Don't want you runnin' off the road and gettin' hurt," he says.
"Thanks," you're genuinely touched by his gesture.
"Next weekend I'll change the oil," he says, putting the blanket back on you. "But only if you bring me some lemonade while wearin' a cute little skirt." He narrowly evades a swat from your hand as he ducks, laughing. "All right, all right, I'm goin'. Love you." He kisses your lips softly.
About to head out to the mall to get a birthday present for Sarah, you spot a CD on the console of your car. It's Garth Brooks' Ropin' the Wind. The blue-eyed country singer poses on the cover, clad in a black and blue dress shirt against a blue sky background. You had this poster when you were a kid. It's probably still in your room if your mom hasn't redecorated.
On the back of the CD there's a sticky note: play #6
You smile, seeing what track that is, and as you make yourself comfortable in the car, starting it and letting the AC cool your heated skin, you listen to 'Shameless'. The lyrics feel like they come from Joel himself, the passion and devotion, how you've transformed him, stripped away the person he used to be for someone better, happier.
A teardrop splashes onto your lap before you realize you're crying. No one has ever shown you this kind of love, this much love before. If Joel was here now you'd kiss him.
You put the song on repeat, the anthem of your love, the anthem of your last innocent summer.
"Ice cream cake? In this heat?"
"Do you have any extra towels? And sunscreen? I forgot mine."
"I think we're gonna need some more aluminum foil."
Your house is bustling with guests, mostly friends of the Millers, other people you know, and kids Sarah hangs out with. Not one for attention, she's still enjoying celebrating her day, even more so because Joel allowed (hesitantly at first) for her to invite boys.
"One boy," he said at first.
"A boy with a bunch of girls? At that age? He'll be scared shitless," you told him.
"Good. Then he'll leave early."
You and Sarah managed to sweet talk him into agreeing on inviting two boys.
Right now they're both in the water with Sarah and her friends, splashing, being kids.
"How's it feel to have a fourteen-year-old?" you ask him as he prepares the meat to put on the grill. The air is scented with seasoning as he expertly adds it to the chicken and ribs. Tommy's at the other counter making a margarita.
He shrugs a little, glances outside at the pool where the teens are shouting and diving. "Makes me feel old."
"You're not." You rest your head on his shoulder, and hear Tommy behind you saying, "Aww. When's the weddin'?"
"What?" you force a little laugh as you turn around, watching him watching you and Joel. Joel ignores him, face turning red as he prepares the food.
"I'm just sayin'.. y'all are cute together."
"I--" there's no other reaction you can think of on the fly except to act dumb, as you're woefully unprepared for his remark in the first place.
"Let her be," Joel grunts. "Babygirl, can you open the sliding door for me?"
Following you, Joel gives Tommy a look.
Hailey from the cafe shows up, bringing some Smirnoff Ice. You sit in the shade, sipping your drinks as you surreptitiously eye Joel at the grill, listening halfheartedly as she talks about the latest guy she dated, what a disaster he was in bed. Little could she possibly know the fun you've been getting into with your own man.
"He's so hot," she says suddenly.
"Yeah," you agree, still in your own daydreams. "Who?" you ask, alert.
"Joel Miller," she answers, eyes looking past you and at your boyfriend, at the grill, laughing at something Tommy's saying.
"Oh.. yeah.." Her assessment comes so suddenly that you aren't sure how to answer. What feels like jealousy starts to bubble in the pit of your stomach.
Hailey's eyes don't leave him, and it starts to irk you. You feel a smidgen of what Joel must have felt when that idiot at the saloon had his hands on you without your permission.
"I'm fucking him."
The look on her face is priceless. "What? You're kidding.. I thought you were a virgin!"
"Was," you say with some smugness.
"Damn, girl!" Hailey looks impressed. "Is that why you asked me about what it's like with older guys?"
"Sort of. Well, yeah."
"What's he like?" she asks in a whisper.
Now this is the part you want to keep to yourself. Let the world know this man is yours, but you won't give any more details than that. It's private, it's sacred. But now Hailey thinks it's just physical.
"I'm not wearin' that," Joel chuckles at Tommy, averting his eyes from the navy blue apron his brother has produced from a shopping bag.
"At least try it on."
Sighing deeply, Joel removes his old, faded black apron and puts on the new one, unable to take himself seriously.
It reads, EAT MY MEAT on the front, with a picture of a perfectly placed hot dog.
"I ain't wearin' this," Joel repeats.
"You don't gotta. It was just a joke. That's supposed to be your birthday present by the way, so happy early birthday."
"Thanks." Joel rolls his eyes, stuffing the apron back into the bag and tending to the barbecue.
"So.." Tommy sips the margarita in his hand. "How'd an old sourpuss like you land a college girl?" He motions to you, walking back towards the house. "And don't tell me 'nothing' because that ain't true. She was leavin' your house that one mornin', you brought her home the other night, carryin' her though the front door like it was your honeymoon. You're with her all the time."
Joel shakes his head, purses his lips as he ignores his brother's look. He's tempted to say, 'She's just a cute, feisty eighteen-year-old who takes care of my daughter and gives great head.' But he doesn't have it in him to denigrate you to his own kin.
"Keep this between us," Joel warns him. Tommy nods. "But yeah, we've been seein' each other."
A little smile forms on his little brother's face. "I knew it! Sofia owes me twenty bucks."
"Don't tell her. Not yet."
Tommy nods. "Okay.. but you might not wanna wait too long, brother. Makes you look guilty."
"Sometimes I feel guilty," he mutters. "I'm twice her age. What's she doin' with someone like me?"
"I'm askin' myself the same thing," Tommy laughs. "You deserve to be happy," he adds.
"I appreciate that," Joel says warmly. "And she does.. she makes me happy."
Coming back outside from taking a break in the AC, the first thing you zone in on is Joel. And Hailey is next to him, flipping her blonde hair. Touching his shoulder. They're laughing together.
Jealousy is not an attractive trait in a woman, you can almost hear your mother say, but for the first time in your life you feel it, like a cold spike in your belly, altering your brain chemistry, blinding you to everything except them.
Before you realize what you're doing, you're marching over to them, looping your arm through Joel's, telling Hailey that you need to talk to him.
You're on autopilot, your brain screaming at you to be normal, to stop while you still can, but the green-eyed monster has taken over, and it's this monster that brings you to your room, closing the door behind you as you tear his stupid apron off him and unbutton his cargo shorts.
"Babygirl, what--"
"Why were you talking to her?" you ask, relieved that he's not hard because of Hailey and disappointed that he's not hard because he's alone with you.
"She was askin' me when the food was gonna be ready," he replies, a little exhalation of surprise when you get down on your knees before him and stroke him. "What's this about, baby? Are you.. are you jealous?"
"Of course not." You seem offended he would even suggest it, but there's a desperation to the way you're handling his cock, as if you're afraid if you stop touching it it'll go into someone else.
"Baby, it's okay. I don't like her. Don't even know 'er."
There's silence, a small grunt as you get him worked up for you, finally hard and pulsing in your hand.
"She knows." you tell him, licking the salty precum off his tip. "I told her."
His dark eyes narrow a moment before going wide as he thrusts against your touch, needing friction, either the softness of your hands or the wetness of your mouth. "I told Tommy," he admits.
There's a brief moment where the air is filled with a sense of harmony. It's a relief to you both.
With a heart full of warm, fuzzy feelings, you bring him to your mouth, cupping his ass with your hands.
"I want to do the cake!" Sarah announces, emerging from the pool and wrapping herself in a towel. Her friends follow suit, still kids at heart despite the fact that they're about to go into high school. Sofia brings out the ice cream cake, perfectly thawed out, and Tommy places the candles on - trick ones that don't extinguish - as everyone begins to gather around.
"Wait, where's Dad?" Sarah asks. "Wait, let me go find him."
The house is calm and cool inside, chilling her still-damp skin. Joel's nowhere to be seen, so she searches deeper into the house.
Getting closer to your bedroom, she hears something, a soft sound, a sigh or a moan. She doesn't think about what it could be, only who.
Your bedroom door swings open silently, and it's a long moment before Sarah can grasp what she sees: you, on the floor in front of her dad, the soft sighs coming from both of you.
It's just a second but it feels like an hour goes by as she leaves, closing the door behind her louder than she intends, walking back out to the party, a thousand-yard stare on her face.
She walked in on an intimate moment between you and her dad, and though she'd teased you about it, even predicted that something like this would happen, seeing it was very different. If she's walked in on you kissing it would've been different, but it's as if you've ruined her hopes, as if you've skipped the fairytale ending and shown a cruder, lewd side of being an adult.
When she returns, brushing the tears from her eyes, she simply says that she doesn't feel well, they can skip the birthday song, please serve her friends first, she's going home next door to lay down.
Joel's a little disappointed when he learns Sarah left early, attributing it to her burgeoning teenage attitude, which he'd rather not deal with at the moment.
Selfishly, you're more preoccupied with whoever it was who closed the door on you and Joel earlier. Obviously someone had seen you, accidentally, and left quickly. It could be anyone at this party. Walking back after your hookup feels like going in front of a firing squad. A glance from this person means one thing, a word from another person means something else.
As the day grows late you keep at Joel's side. He doesn't try to push you away. You make yourself comfortable, sitting next to him as you eat, letting your thigh brush his. You even lightly brush an imaginary piece of lint off his shirt, your hand lingering on his shoulder as you talk with the other guests.
You forget who's idea it is to tie knots into cherry stems. You've never heard of the challenge, and when a bowl of leftover cherries from the cocktails made earlier that day is brought to the table, you bite the sweet bulb of red fruit and easily tie a knot on one with your fingers. Joel teases you, telling you, "No, babygirl, with your tongue."
A little moment passes between you, a shared look that is not lost on the others. You take another cherry and he bites off the fruit while you take the stem and place it in your mouth.
It's a hidden talent, one that impresses the table when you effortlessly tie a knot into the stem using only your mouth.
And that's how you get the nickname Cherry.
"You know what this is s'posed to imply, right, darlin'?" Joel rasps, twirling your tongue-tied knot in his thick fingers.
"No idea," you smile, lost in his eyes.
"It means you're good with your tongue," he murmurs.
It happens so quickly, so naturally that you don't realize it until it's happening. Your lips are on his cheek, loving the feel of his stubble against your soft skin, and everyone else is looking at you.
"What?" Joel asks, addressing the table, pink showing up on his cheeks. "My girlfriend can't give me a lil' kiss?"
Cleaning up the kitchen later on, Sofia comes next to you, busying herself with packaging leftovers and rinsing off dirty dishes. You can feel the tension between you.
"I don't approve," she says sternly, not looking at you.
"Of what?" you try to sound innocent, but you know she can see right through you, that it's pointless to lie.
"Of you and Mr. Miller," she says, using the formal surname you should have been using all along.
"You don't have to approve," you say, scrubbing particularly hard at a stubborn spot on the stove.
"He's twice your age, cousin," she says with concern. "I'm supposed to be looking out for you while you're staying with me. How's it gonna look, me letting you date someone older?"
"That's all you care about? How it's affecting you?" you shoot back. "Please. You sound like my mom."
Sofia sighs. "This kind of relationship can't be healthy. He's done more, he knows more.."
"I know."
"Please don't tell me you've-"
"We have." There's no pleasure in telling her this, but it's a massive relief to tell someone.
"God damn it," she mutters. "Are you at least being careful?"
"Of course!"
Sofia's at a loss, unsure of what to say, the warnings countless on her tongue, but unwilling to part from her lips.
"I love him," you tell her. It's whispered confession, as if your own truest feelings carry the worst sin of your life.
Another author's note: just wanted to clarify that Sarah didn't see anything too inappropriate, but she definitely understood what was going on.

A little twist on the nonbender!Sokkla -AU with a Azula being a prodigy in archery instead of a swordfighting-prodigy. Hit us with your headcanons, please :)
Hello, @subterraneanwatcher !!!!
(Side note but I'm loving the nonbender!azula asks) (Also, changing this up just a bit so that it doesn’t seem like a copy and paste of the sword AU)
1. When Azula was born a nonbender, Ozai wanted her dead or thrown in an orphanage. Ursa and the Fire sages intervened on her behalf though, arguing that she had some promise. So, Ozai allowed her to live but she was forever treated as the unwanted child. Ozai wasn’t fond of either of his children so Ursa did her best to split up time between the two but Azula still felt left out most of the time. She would often wander the palace alone, as the child servants and nobles would look at with disgust or pity, and try to find something to fill her time. One day, she saw the Yuyan archers practicing in the court yard and asked if she could try. The archers decided to humor her and helped her use the arrow (because again she’s a child) and Azula fell in love with the craft.
2. She begged her mother and father to let her enroll in archery classes and while Ursa was worried about her (because Ozai’s words about her being weak were getting to her) Ozai decided to let her so that he could have an excuse to not have his nonbending daughter around. When Azula started her lessons, she excelled. She was a natural and very fast learner. When she turned 11, the archers asked Ozai if they could take her with them. He gladly agreed.
3. Azula officially became a member of the Yuyan archers when she was twelve, the youngest member, and grew to love her little family. Most of them treated her like a younger sister or daughter. They joked around with her, brought her into the circle when they ate, gave her tips and praised her (all things she was missing from her bio family). Azula started going on missions at the age of twelve as well and became known as one of the Yuyan archers most accurate hitters at 14.
4. Azula was annoyed when they were hired by Zhao (who didn’t recognize her thanks to her makeup) but didn’t complain because the task of capturing the Avatar seemed like an interesting on. Azula remained with her brothers and sisters until the Avatar escaped and she attempted to stop him. Aang accidentally hit her head and she slammed it against the stone and was knocked out. Feeling guilty, he takes her with him and runs off, leaving the Yuyan archers devastated and believing her to be dead (don’t ya just love Fire nation propaganda??)
5. Aang brings her back to the cave where Sokka and Katara are still sick and lets her rest because she’s still knocked out. When Sokka and Katara wake up, they debate about taking her with them or not: Aang wants to because he doesn’t feel right about leaving her here alone so they decide to do that. After getting her onto Appa and getting in the air, Azula wakes up and demands to know what’s going on, yelling about her arrows and bows and the other archers. Aang explains what’s going on and that they can’t take her back but are more than happy to set her down and let her walk back (which isn’t an option because they’re in deep EK territory and Azula would very quickly be captured). Azula agrees to come with them until she can find a way back to her own people.
+1 (because there was no room for Sokkla) - Azula takes a notice in Sokka’s weapon and asks him to show her them. He gladly does which leads to a conversation about Azula’s archery skills. (Sokka: Wow! Your family must be really proud! Azula:…Not exactly. Sokka: What do you mean? Azula: My father only wanted benders as children. I’m a nonbender so he pretty much threw me away before I could even crawl. I don’t care. I stopped trying to impress him years ago.) Slowly but surely, the two grow closer and closer until the North Pole happens. Azula refuses to return with Zhao and (with a bow and arrow given to her by Yue) stops him from killing Tui (Azula: I’m not called the sharpest Yuyan shot for nothing. Sokka:…Do people really call you that? Azula: No, but I want them too, and I just saved the fish. I think I’m entitled to a cool nickname). Yue remains alive and in the North Pole but agrees to get them to start participating in the war. Azula, having killed Zhao, officially sides with the Gaang and her relationship with Sokka grows. All of them unaware that Zuko, who was trained under Ozai, is now after them.

If You Can't Dance 4
Warnings: dubcon, noncon, other possible triggers. Proceed with caution.
Note: this is what you get when you encourage me. Please leave any and all feedback! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
Part of The Club AU
One second you're alone at the table in the back corner, the next you’re not. You don’t see G come in, you only notice him as he pulls out a chair one away from you, along the side of the table and drops down. He drops his bag into the seat on his other side, a stitch of agitation already between his brows.
The room is getting loud. The voices of your coworkers, old and new, buzz from around the other tables and near the coffee station. Only the grim loner opted to sit at your table but you guess that’s because he knows you won’t bother him. You appreciate that he’ll repay you in kind.
You give a tiny wave to him and he nods. That’s the most you’ll get and as much as you need. It feels a bit better having someone familiar with you.
You look down at your cup of water. You’ve only had a few sips. You slide it away and nervously draw circles on the tabletop with your fingertip. G shifts, unzipping the bag next to him and shoving his hand inside. Something lands right in front of you; you blink at the pale green packet. It’s tea, the same tea you drink every day.
You glance over at G with wide eyes then back to the tea bag. He has another in his hand. You shake your head in confusion.
“You always drink it at the meetings… I’m tryna get off coffee,” he grits out as he stands.
Nothing else. No time for your response and you’re not sure you could come up with one. You’re surprised and utterly upended. He strides away from the table as you grab the packet and turn it over to read the ingredients. Your brand and brew, you can’t mistake it.
G puts a cup by your hand as he comes back, setting his own in front of his own seat. He sits again and tears open the packet. You don’t know what else to do but the very same. You open the package and place the bag in to steep. The smell comforts your stirring nerves.
“Thanks,” you eke out, looking over at him but not getting as far as his face. His thick fingers curl around the paper cup, silver rings on his thumb, middle, and pinky fingers.
“Mmph,” he grumbles. Yep, that’s G. His dissonance is almost reassuring.
You lean over and inhale the rising aroma of the tea as the water slowly tints with the pale jasmine colour. What are the odds? You play with the tab dangling from the string, he must have a good eye.
“Alright,” a voice carries over the din as the speaker claps his hands, “let’s settle in.” You peek up as Jonathan stands at the front of the room, “I’d like to start by thanking you all for coming today. I know we’ve a lot of work to do in this unification, a lot of this work will be done by you, our experts, and so I want to make sure you have all the support you need.”
You scrunch your nose. So he’s not a fellow programmer, he’s the boss. Oh god. You want to shrink into a grain of sand. You slump down and draw the cup close, clinging to its heat. G sniffs as he turns the cup and inch, back and forth. Is he nervous like you? No, probably annoyed.
“So we’ll start simple, we’ll go around and introduce ourselves, name, title, what you typically do, and a little bit about yourself.” He smiles, “I’ll go first; Jonathan Pine, Chief Operating Officer, I work to make sure that all is operating well. You will see me from time to time, though I do tend to see supervisors more often, despite my best efforts to check in with everyone. Oh, and my little tidbit, I have an undefeated record at the billiards table.” He smirks and points to the first table.
You tune out their words, too concerned with what you’re going to say. You’re not interesting at all. You can talk about your work, that’s easy, but yourself?
Your dread builds as each person stands and lists off their answers. You feel dizzy as the drain circles around you. Oh no, you hate talking in front of others. If you could avoid all interaction, you gladly would.
Then it’s up to you. At first, you don’t even stand. As you do, you hit the tea and spills, splashing over the table and dripping over the edge. It scalds your hands before you can pull away and wets the front of your shirt. You back away as you squeak and shake off the moisture.
“S-sorry…” you choke out, blinking wildly as your fingertips sear. “I… I’m–”
G stands, “I’m G.” He says bluntly. Nothing else.
Silence, deafening and defeating. You feel your chest caving in. Without a thought, you storm away from the table and up the side of the room, pushing quickly into the hallway. You feel like crying but you won’t. You don’t do that, not over tea. Not over strangers.
You wander down the hallway cluelessly, not sure where to go. You don’t know where anything is. You hate this place! You hate this so much. You should just quit.

the minnesota wild as High School Musical characters
did I take this too seriously? yes. have I spent the last week thinking about this? also yes. anyway, the context: we were assigned the wildcats by a swede. @babygirlspurgeon kept tagging things with HSM lyrics. @wildaboutmnhockey created the masterpiece video of the mn wild set to getcha head in the game. so now here I am!!! this has been meticulously constructed with the help of my friend who doesn't know anything about the wild beyond what I tell her (shoutout to zoe for being balls to the wall no matter what I throw at her! who else will discuss the misc. cunt levels of the wild players with me). anyway to make this easier on ourselves we constructed a reality wherein High School Musical is being recreated on ice & instead of basketball in the plot it's hockey, so this is NOT about who's most like a character etc (though that ended up being a large part of it anyway whoops), but who could embody them best in a production of it. since the cast for HSM is not...particularly large, I was really getting down into the weeds with minor parts to fit (almost) the whole roster in here, so most everyone has their moment!!! anyway. and lastly. I am just saying that mounting this show during intermissions could maybe fix the nightmare this season has been & bring the team together. because they are. after all. all in this together.
tldr: this is basically a fancast of HSM using only the minnesota wild. I am not explaining myself any further
***
Troy Bolton // Matt Boldy
look. we really had to waffle between many options for Troy and this is where we ended up. my thoughts on matt boldy have been semi-well documented at this point, so mr. white bread bimbo feels like an organic option for this role. I feel like he can really serve us some mid-range semi-insensitive high school jock realness + angst without trying too hard. plus: I feel like he'll play off Shawzy as Gabriella really well.
Gabriella Montez // Mason Shaw
for as fucking annoying as Gabriella is at points, there's an earnest authenticity there that shawzy so easily embodies. his "let's play hockey" moment from playoffs 2023........he has the emotional RANGE and will murder When There Was Me and You in cold blood. plus, much like gabriella does for troy in HSM, mason will be able to coax that emotional performance from boldy as troy with his whole do-it-for-shawzy energy. what else can be said!!! the boys love him!! so don't worry, shawzy!! you soon will be soaring. flying. and breaking free.
Sharpay Evans // Marcus Foligno
marcus foligno the man that you are. he can and WILL serve the cunt necessary to be Sharpay. he will commit body and soul to bringing this role to life, though we may have to adjust the line "evaporate, tall person" to be more appropriate. anyway. I would give SO much in this life to see moose perform Bop to the Top. who will fund this with me.
Ryan Evans // Mats Zuccarello
known funky little man mats zuccarello does SO WELL as Ryan in my mind. his dancing has been well documented so you KNOW he's gonna absolutely kill the game with those jazz squares (it's a crowd favorite! everybody loves a good jazz square), plus his affable, everyman, team-first energy is exactly what the role of ryan demands. also: the idea of him as ryan and foligno as sharpay....chef's kiss.
Chad Danforth // Ryan Hartman
hartzy...hype man for the boys...put him a series of shirts with chirpy slogans on them for my enjoyment please!!! then make him walk around with sports props for the entire production. anyway, hartzy gives me the requisite jock bro energy necessary to pull off chad's role, as well as the bitchiness needed to essentially sabotage something that is making his best buddy troy happy. plus. I'm just SAYING. given chad and ryan's dynamic in HSM2. I am eyeing him and zuccy with anticipation.
Taylor McKessie // Joel Eriksson Ek
he's going the distance. he's going for speed. he's being cast as the tenacious captain of the scholastic decathlon team. mr. september is nothing but committed to his craft and this seriousness and dedication is EXACTLY what we need for taylor. that being said, our boy jeek is up for some shenanigans given the right situation, so will he manufacture a situation to rudely disrupt the decathlon & basketball finals? but of course!!
Kelsi Nielsen // Connor Dewar
who ELSE is going to bring enough weird girl energy to the table?? I feel like dewey 2 would take this SO seriously and the role of kelsi, while at times beyond fucking annoying, demands nothing but sincerity and dedication. he wouldn't be able to NOT take this seriously. this man has also stated that he would be a writer if not for hockey, so we can really get some method acting up in this bitch. essentially: put a bowler hat on that beast and watch him go.
Ms. Darbus // Marc-Andre Fleury
this role had to be rotated in my mind a lot before settling on a casting choice. I mean, goalies are weird, and I feel like flower would bring jussssst enough bizarro energy that would perfectly drive a middle-aged thespian who, for some reason, allowed a high school student to write and mount a musical that seems to make little to no sense. maybe it's all part of a large prank. who knows.
Coach Bolton // Jake Middleton
I can't pretend this is anything other than typecasting, I'm so sorry. I can't look at middsy without being reminded of the dad from Inside Out, plus "the mustache is saying pushing 50" according to my friend. I can also perfectly envision middsy yelling WHAT ARE THOSE TWO DOING IN A TREE with great dedication, so. assigned dilf at HSM casting
Lucille Bolton // Jared Spurgeon
does spurge deserve a larger role? maybe. possibly. probably. but look: once we cast middsy as troy's dad, spurgeon was quick to follow as troy's mom. who are we to fight the natural sexual chemistry of these two? anyway. assigned milf at HSM casting
Jason Cross // Brandon Duhaime
typecast as dumb jock from a team of jocks. what does that say about you, mr. duhaime??? anyway, dewey 1 is really going to deliver on the clueless but loyal bro vibes here. as a bonus. a very IMPORTANT bonus. I have to note that at the end of All in this Together jason is the one to remove kelsi's bowler hat and help her shoot a basket in a VERY flirtatious manner. and I AM all about putting the deweys in that situation, so help me god.
Zeke Baylor // Frédérick Gaudreau
he IS a sweetheart!!!!! a sweetheart!!!!! someday you WILL make the perfect crème brûlée, freddy!!! & your boys will love you for it!!!!
Martha Cox // Brock Faber
the glasses are giving nerd. and then THIS is giving pop and lock and jam and break.
Skater Who Plays the Cello // Jon Merrill
do I need to explain this one????? c'mon. he's so believable as a skater kid and ALSO as someone who plays the cello. the duality of man is contained in jonny "vibes" merrill.
(tbc)

*grabby hands desire more qphilza headcanons*
WEHEHEHE
qPhil headcanons masterlist
He hates it bc he hates the quiet and feeling vulnerable n bored but sometimes this idiot really needs alone time. Whether it's to think or to do something Just for him or to self-care or something else, he needs some Him Time. And between being a dad of two, several people's confidant, a Horrors(tm) magnet, and just generally a self-negligent dumbass, he rarely gets any.
Another hypocritical thing he does: Complains he needs xyz (a break, rest, some kinda need met, etc) but whenever someone else tells him he needs xyz he's like What No I Don't I'm Fine And Functional Wdym. It's like the second someone is caring for him rather than him finally caring for himself, he's suddenly allergic to care at all
"Thanks I hate it" <- loves it very much or thinks it's hilarious unless it's a legitimately bad thing. Says this to Fit A Lot
He's the epitome of "Fine I'll do it. But I'm gonna complain the whole time." And depending on what it is, he ends up genuinely enjoying himself
Boating unironically de-stresses him. Though nowadays he can't help but think back to the Purgatory insanity he heard while at sea Day 1. 50/50 if he laughs about it or gets a pit in his stomach thinking about the trauma
From all his sleeping in that stupid fucking chair in the bunker, motherfucker's back sounds like bubblewrap sometimes
He has to sleep on his stomach bc sleeping on his wings BIG OUCH uncomfortable. At best, they just fall asleep. At worst they're in unbearable pain.
He's extremely paranoid after Chayanne's 3 day fight with EK that EK will possess Chayanne next or go after him first whenever he returns
At this point he barely thinks Cucurucho is a threat. More so a semi-annoying pathetic little weirdo with an obscene amount of power
He misses the old spawn bakery. The new one's kinda whatever. Too boujee. The old spawn one was not only a short walk from home, but also cozy and had character. Also he misses being able to prank it.
He also has beef with the use of gold for decor in new spawn bc shiny surface sometimes blanks/distracts his crow brain.
He (used to, been kinda difficult to post-Purgatory for misc reasons) go to Cellbit to give him pics & info on happenings/enigmas on the island. Now his go-to is Bagi (he sees her more), but like. He never Goes To Bagi. She just so happens to bump into him when he has something he needs to talk to her about or give to her
Missa occasionally gives him really good back massages that melt him into a puddle. They're rare bc a) Missa's away a lot and b) his back is very sensitive and in pain more often than not
Every once in a while he gets tea cravings and he hates it
Good god this man is not a morning person. His body just simply won't let him sleep last like 10am and he hates it.

I need to ramble more about Esteban Flores, because everything about this character and his arc seem as though it was tailor-made for me and specifically designed to make me absolutely feral.
This going below the cut, both because I do not want to spoil the entire show for my friend who is think of watching Elena of Avalor and because I go full-on apologist here and I feel like that will annoy some people.
Imagine making the absolute worst mistake than anyone could possibly make, because you are 18 and scared and stupid and tired of being ignored. And it results in you losing your family and your freedom and what little self-respect you had left because you know all of this is very much your own fault.
And so you proceed to spend the next 41(!) years eking out a miserable existence in an oppressive state. Upon fear for your life, you are forced to be the reluctant right-hand of the evil witch-queen who conquered your country, killed your aunt and uncle and trapped your cousin in magical prison. In spite of this, you nevertheless do everything within your limited power trying to hold the kingdom together and make sure the people don't starve, because the queen certainly doesn't care about anything except greedily bleeding your country dry.
And no exaggeration, this is just what canon explicitly gives us outright in the pilot. Like that's not even getting into head canons/interpretations/common sense of what exactly this sort of life entailed for you. Because this is a children's show so there's only so much they will let us imply about living under that kind of system. Especially as a young, attractive, terrified person who is the last living member of the previous royal family who is likely being kept alive partly as a combination trophy/punching bag for the evil queen (even if the show never actually states this outright).
And then by some miracle, what's left of your family comes back after all this time. The evil queen is overthrown, partly because you yourself finally stood up to her at a critical moment. You and your country are finally free again, and what's more, you and your family are finally together again after over 4 decades. But you still feel like an outsider--partly because you always were an outsider in your family even in the better times and partly because over the past 41(!) years, time stood still for all of them except you.
And as a result, no one ever cares to ask what those 41 years were like for you or even just if you’re doing okay. Not only because your family can’t even begin to comprehend what it must have been like, but also because they don’t care to even *try* to understand. Because the narrative has decided that everyone else’s respective traumas is worth way more than your own. (Though tbf the narrative really doesn’t dwell much on anyone’s trauma in general but yours gets especially neglected , except to briefly play it for laughs or to remind you that your trauma is *your own fault and only your own*).
For a little while, life is pretty okay. It’s weird not having to watch your step every instant to make sure you’re not putting a toe out of line. And so you never really fully break out of your “survival mode” conditioning, making sure that you are still considered important and valuable enough to keep around.
But all the while, you know that your past—and especially your terrible little secret—is eventually going to come back to haunt you. And it does. First via blackmail and then via the return of the evil witch-queen herself. Fortunately, she is defeated for good before she can take avenge your “betrayal of her” but you still have to deal with seeing the ghost from the past who terrorized you for 41(!) years.
And then, your secret finally comes out in the open and you are disowned by your family—the family you *just* got back a few years ago—for an admittedly super bad decision that you made over four decades ago and have regretted ever since. Rather than face the rest of your life in isolation (as though you didn’t already have enough of that during the previous regime), you escape before you can be sent into exile. This puts you directly in the path of *another* terrifying, evil magical milf who you are forced to ally yourself with. Because you have 40+ years of conditioning that when a woman like that says “jump,” you say ��how high?” if you are to have any hope of survival. Especially given that the only people who could’ve protected you from her are the family and friends who have just definitively washed their hands of you.
Despite this, you are still trying to seek your cousin’s forgiveness and to protect her in the little ways that you can. But you are constantly getting rebuffed over and over again, and if anything, your attempts at reconciliation only seem to make your cousin angrier, and she now hates you just as much as—if not MORE than—the woman who actually murdered her parents.
Your cousin is so angry at you specifically that she actively ignores the greater threat of Witchy Milf 2.0, because she happens to see your face and is enraged. This ends up backfiring spectacularly for you both, though it does indirectly lead to the defeat of said Witchy Milf 2.0.
But guess what? There’s no time to breathe or celebrate, because her defeat occurred during the successful summoning of a third power-mad, feminine-presenting magical humanoid and her allies. At least, this one treats you with some initial respect and actually gives you outright what you-think-you’ve-thought-you-always wanted. But she also turns your family and friends to stone in front of you as a warning of what’s to come if you dare to defy her.
But this time, you are finally done with this, have finally lost enough that you have paradoxically found your courage. You sacrifice yourself to save your cousin, and she is finally able to accept that you’ve sacrificed and changed enough that she can forgive you. And her forgiveness is so powerful and pure that it not only restores you to life but also undoes all the other evil magic. Together, you defeat this final enemy, paradoxically by banishing her to the same Underworld where your mistakes accidentally sent your aunt and uncle and her parents long ago. Peace has been restored. You have returned for good and are finally secure in your family’s love.
And after all that, there are *still* people (both presumably in universe and in the fandom outside of it) who say it's too little, too late and that it would've been better for everyone if you'd simply stayed dead.
Like I'm just... are we really victim-blaming the character who has 45 years of unprocessed trauma and guilt (both survivor's guilt and guilt in general) because of a decision he made when his brain was still developing and he was being manipulated by an older, much more powerful person?
#elena of avalor#elena of avalor meta#esteban flores#chancellor esteban#like how do you do this to me--an english major--#and not expect me to be completely unhinged about it?#like the parallelism. the THEMES.#the fact that having to abide by established sofia the first canon#meant that the writers had to significantly prolong the length of both esteban's and elena's respective traumas#i get that they had to but like 41 years? they still did THAT#and they expect me to be normal about it#don't get me wrong; i am not blaming elena for her response#it was normal and understandable and given her position; i may have acted the same#but at the same time; 41(!) years of trauma that the narrative just assumes esteban did and should've gotten over by now#even though they are not expecting elena to have gotten over the same 41-years of trauma?#and not just little trauma with a little “t”; we're talking TRAUMA™#someone get this man to the Ever Realm equivalent of therapy#like i'm not totally wild about s3 in general (we should've had an final season to deal with the coronation day aftermath)#but like the finale still hit all the right narrative beats that i needed so I'm okay-ish#and it still handled esteban's final arc much better than the similar final cassandra arc from tangled the series#imo at least

There's not much people haven't said about Errant Kingdom on steam, but I've been following them since they first launched WTNC as it was my first visual novel, and I was greatly looking forward to EK's finale, so I might as well give a piece of my mind.
First of all, maybe I didn't catch on, but who attempted on the monarchs' lives? Who were the creepy cultists in the forest? The ending seems rushed. It's like they had a lot of loose ends and they did a poor job tying them. Lazy writing.
Until chapter 4/5 we didn't know what was going on, and then, in the last release, we've been presented with the problematic of the story and the poorly crafted ending with barely no epilogue.
I'm also annoyed that most of the romance with the MC and some LIs have been barely developed while Maja and Erik's seems more important than ours. I get this is a VN and not an otome game, but sometimes our MC didn't feel like the protagonist.
For instance, the Livia x Nomad route hasn't been half as developed as Maja and Erik's. They barely see each other and they fall in love? I get that given their roles in the story it's complicated, but if you're not sure you can deliver good work, why deliver it at all?
My impression is that they developed the story and the plot AND THEN tried to stuff the main character in there, offering us crumbs of romance after they started to officially date.
I'm not gonna talk about the communication of this team, the constant changes on the release of the chapters or the lack of organization and formality cause we all players are familiar with it, and the usual broken promises and delays are not easy to forget.
I checked the last review I gave them in itchio and it was 4 years ago. This doesn't feel like a game that has been worked on 4 years.
Although I have to say that not everything is bad, as the characters truly are what bear the entire burden of this project. The characterisation is splendid, and the reason why I've waited all these years for the game to release and actually play it is due to my emotional attachment to them.
With much more reason, I kinda feel played by this team cause I suspect that knowing of the love and affection that their clients have for these characters and the fact that many of us would play the game regardless of how long it took, they've relaxed.
I don't wish any ill to Lunaris Games, but I do hope they learn from this and improve the communication of their company as well as the way they develop their games.

misc thoughts fresh off finishing yumi and the nightmare painter:
* i should’ve taken my time reading this ahaha. books definitely hit different when savored and on larger screen/pages
- there were some tropes i didn’t like here, like painter pretending to yumi to be all cooler and more heroic than he actually was = cringe when it comes falling down. at least that part was relatively short. but like digging a hole with your lies ughhhhhhh hate that hate misunderstandings hate people not believing you when you tell the truth
- was not convinced to care about the side characters. they didn’t really get any development. i wasn’t even sold on the old friend group being friends with each other - their banter wasn’t that good, and I’m sensitive to this kinda thing atm since I’m in my own struggle of writing convincing and interesting friend group interactions - nor were they written particularly compellingly as individuals. akane was kind but that was about it. i love the sleepless as a concept and masaka was great but she really came out of nowhere to help. and liyun could have used more development
- speaking of masaka this is a hot take as a cosmere fan but i think there’s a point where the cosmere references get too much and detract from the story at hand. felt that a bit with lost metal, at times with tress, and definitely here.
- hoid’s narration - i thought it fine in tress, suited the fairytale storytelling tone, but his comments felt kind of more annoying and distracting and out of place in this one. at least he had an actual role in tress...
+ the twist was very cool, big fan, i was totally misled, but
- the reveal was... the fact that what happened was so complicated that it needed SUCH a big exposition dump, i was not a fan. like im grateful to hoid that he knew i was confused. but it shouldn’t have been so confusing, there had to have been a better and more elegant way to present what happened
- and im still a little confused about what we saw of yumi’s world was real
- also like who were the actual aliens they encountered lmao we’re just moving right along
+ so i was ready to throw hands when i saw “epilogue”. and then “another epilogue” ahaha. to be fair that sad ending was still a good ending itself but god i would’ve been so upset hahaha
+ the ending made me feel things. almost eked out some tears. such a good ending overall.
+ the art ahhhhhhhhh so pretty. def my fav artist / artwork of the four (i’m just a big fan of this kind of aesthetic. traditional korea + futuristic japan)
- though i was a little disappointed with the cover. not sure why. the pure outlines don’t stand out very well and the text font/color... idk...
* for some reason i thought that the colors being cyan and magenta meant that there’d be significance in the missing third color yellow or lime or smth. i thought there was a WoB or smth. oh well
* are maipon sticks actually any different from chopsticks. why not just also call them chopsticks.
- i think the preview chapters gave me expectation that there’d be a bit more with their respective magics and worldbuilding which were so cool and i wish we saw more of that, b/c that kind of stuff interests me more. top tier aesthetics for these worlds. but i guess this was always supposed to be more “inward” and more focused on the romance...
- i think i didn’t find yumi or painter super likable on a personal / personality level either. this is kind of a me thing though. i know they’re supposed to be Like That with their backgrounds, histories etc. i suspect i’d appreciate them more on reread.
- oh yeah and i want to know more about the other yoki hijo too!
+ this is a pretty focused book even if i do want to know more. i can respect that. like how this was a lifeswap not a bodyswap, allows for keeping the focus on the story he wants to tell
+ will admit it was super funny that painter was seen as yumi but yumi was still just seen as herself
+ was gonna cry at the introduction of the Machine to replace Art. but then it was like, maybe it’s worth it if it saves any other girls from suffering the - abuse, basically - that yumi had to go through? but in the end the Machine is unequivocally the evil here
+ i do love yumi Stacking Things whenever stressed ahaha
this sounds like a lot of negative points but those are more interesting to talk about and those are what come to mind quickly esp since i’m just pulling thoughts out very quickly and haphazardly here. to some extent the good parts go without saying and id appreciate them more on (a slower) reread and tbh i might make a follow up post as i think more on this. i think i was just a little disappointed bc i came in with really high expectations... ah well. still a good book overall, and i want to give it a reread to better understand and catch some things. i think my current ranking is tress > yumi > frugal
but im gonna hit post for now to forcibly stop myself from adding more

sighs i just finished errant kindom and man...it really feels like one of those "we had this super cool, super in depth idea that we hadn't actually finish preparing when we got all our funding and made promises, and then we lost interest halfway through but are obligated to finish it" situations. i wanted to believe they could fix things give then TWO YEAR break they had to come up with something but its just *so* obvious they stopped caring about EK once they got the greenlight for Call Me Under. idk how much most people remember from early dev of EK (since they've deleted two tumblrs, privated their original twitter account + deleted comments on the itchio pages to get away from the drama they've caused through this whole process. very normal things for a developer to do in response to very justified critique lol) but the change in attitude/tone/amount of updates about it after CMU became a thing was immediate and noticeable even back then. i think most people (me included) figured they were just really excited about their next game esp since wtnc had bought them so much good will, but in hindsight the warning signs were there even before the hiatus.
i know they site covid as the main reason for delays and everything for EK but at the same time, they've been perfectly on pace for CMU despite its development starting later (but before the pandemic) and not having nearly as many financially backed obligations as EK did at the time? they managed to release two waves of new content for WTNC including a mini story they charged for during the pandemic and got most of an extended demo done for CMU, but the ending of EK is the best they could manage in two years *AFTER* getting another 3 months to work on it from the original re-release? sorry not buying it any more, i'm sure the pandemic made things difficult and i emphasize but they very obviously were getting work done, just not on the project they should to have been prioritizing over their shiny new toy.
It definitely feels like they got tired halfway and just put whatever together to call it finished...
Honestly, I got into EK kind of very late (just about when they went on hiatus if I recall right?), so I missed a lot of the drama about the when and hows of the updates. I'm not necessarily annoyed that they ran into problems and had to release much later than originally said (that's the risk of buying unfinished games), but I would have appreciated it if they were more forward about it from the start. Instead they made excuses and pushed the date further and further away with half-baked excuses, and now that annoyed me. I honestly would have preferred if they took an indefinite hiatus and came back together to the game finale with a fresh mind instead (a controversial opinion perhaps, but I'd rather have had a good finale later than... Whatever we got now).
I'll admit I haven't yet looked into their other games (I get into stuff randomly and at random times), and after everything that went on I'm certainly no more confident to do it now.
I can only hope that the devs do better in the future, being more honest with the fans and taking their time to deliver a final result according to what they've been building up.

i'm not sure what to ask besides what do you think the nayuta + denji + power + aki dynamic would be like? my sister and i were discussing it the other day i think the nayuta + power interactions would be explosive given how needy both are. they definitely band together to dogplie people though there's no doubt about that. aki and denji would not survive it i think. ik some people aren't fans of "everyone lives and is happy" aus but idk love, peace, and, happiness on the planet earth i love em <3
but like fujimoto's works mean so much to me. his work has made me cry more than once. he puts so much thought into his characters and their behaviors. the payoff after all the buildup is amazing.
i bought chainsaw man 1-14 + the csm light novel + fujimoto's one shots in japanese the other day. cus i really want to learn japanese. buying jp manga to read will serve as a motivator. plus i got the complete could you die, my darling? and the tokyo bride story series. since both are favorites of mine. they haven't come in yet but i will be so happy when they do. also i think you can cross reference this with other asks i've sent since i'm kind of frequent in your inbox LOL. will probably fall asleep after sending this
OH HO MY MANGA REC ANON EYYYYY HOW YOU DOIN
anyways excellent question had to think about it a lot while getting through my post-camping haze. i think in some ways i have to mentally break it down in two camps: does nayuta + aki/denji/power take place in a scenario where shenanigans have taken makima out & brought nayuta in before makima's scheming were able to manifest, or a scenario where makima shows her hand and the plot more or less plays out except aki and power manage to eke out a survival?
this distinction would be most apparent for aki. if we're dealing with the former scenario, where aki can still 'love' makima, he's gonna grieve her, feel guilty about not being able to stop it because he just feels guilty about everything, so he's gonna be really protective of nayuta. a bit smothery. in the latter situation though, where makima's plans have come out and he's feeling shock and betrayal, and probably fear and anger and guilt over how power and denji were in danger? i think aki would be much less open to having her around, even cold and distant. not outright mean, but think how he was with denji and power turned up a notch. not like completely heartless about her, she's still sooooooo baby, but it'd be a rocky relationship. nayuta is gonna think he's annoying probably. but he makes good food. so he may live.
with denji, i think the most important factor to consider in comparison to what we're seeing from the denji+nayuta canon relationship, is that here denji isn't alone with her. while i still think denji and nayuta would still be the closest, but i feel like denji doesn't have to Single Dad it so soon after losing aki and power. like, in this reality has he been forced to confront the truth of his childhood? confront makima's manipulation of his feelings? while i don't see denji like, being less close to nayuta and wanting to take care of her, i do think there's some room where he's less compelled to make her #1 while aki and power are still in his life, or if he thinks that aki can help take care of her the way he takes care of everything.
this probably is of no surprise to anyone but the idea of a power + nayuta dynamic intrigues me the most. i think first and foremost that they would Not Get Along (At First, Shenanigans Can Still Happen). their brashness and pushiness are so similar that i think they'd just fuckin clash. ESPECIALLY over denji. they both want denji to pay attention to them and be their bestie and not hang out with the other. in particular, i think that power would delight in being Bigger and More Powerful (from her perspective) than the former makima, and try to pay back all those times makima intimidated her. this won't work out for her! but then something looney tunes slapstick will happen to denji and they will take a break from their rivalry to laugh at him and all will be well.
the other aspect of power+nayuta i kinda mull over is like - so we see power openly disobey makima, The Control Devil, in chapters 90/91. and i'm going to have to reread the series to recall whether power had disobeyed makima before, because i feel like i had the thought before those chapters came out but i can't remember. we do see power pathetically pushing back or whining when makima tells her to do something, only to be cowed when makima looks at her like :) but it's still different from the more servile or fawning way people influenced by makima. though maybe it's because power is a fiend rather than one of the humans that makima condescendingly dotes on. idk i just want power to be My Most Special Girl and have that 'it factor' that lets her resist makima's direct control or something. and nayuta recognizing this and being both threatened and intrigued by her. it's not a legit theory i have but i do think of it.
but eventually. EVENTUALLY. there will be love peace and happiness on the planet earth. fujimoto would never deny us that.
but yeah 110% agreed on fujimoto's works meaning a lot. csm, fire punch, his pre- and post-csm oneshots, pretty much everything has a spark that i straight up can't resist. i do get extra sentimental about look back and goodbye, eri just because they happened to come out after i was dealing with a loss and it was like, Man He Gets It. and he's a fan of psycho goreman dude has taste.
anyways. wishing you LOTS of luck in learning japanese. i will never be able to do so because i do not have a head for languages (my mom lost the form for doing french immersion and from that point i was doomed) and can only subsist on what my friends share, but there's a lot of value in learning any language. which sounds corny. but it's legit.

ANIMALISTIC THOUGH the impending coupling was, as always, there was something lingering between them, caught hanging for a mere moment where time stood still; there was precious hesitation shrouded in bewitching confidence, and though he hid it all too well behind that assured façade, and almost managed to inveigle his avian lover of the same, the owl demon was superbly versed in more than just observing with his eyes.
(an opening.)
in his long existence, he'd seen very few beings capable of such attentiveness in the sheets and, coupled with blitzø's natural irresistible allure and charming flightiness, it fed the demon prince's festering obsession with the imp. it wasn't even about the abyss between their social standing, or how they practically lived on different planets when it came to lifestyle and motives - and while stolas had a undeniably soft spot for imps, his utterly ravenous and primal longing for blitzø transcended even the titillating yet trite prissy-prince-and-rugged-peasant kink.
(it was more fun when they played hard to get - and this one really didn't want to be caught!)
there was nothing like feeling the weight of his feral lover's knees dipping the mattress behind him, ready and rearing to savagely mount him; but then he'd go for something unexpected - and never did he disappoint.
(what he wouldn’t do for a peek inside that pretty brain between those fierce horns of his!)
the downed prince all but squawked in surprised delight as the base of his tail feathers was roughly yanked, just the way he liked it, moaning unabashedly at the sudden and very welcome visit of a forked tongue teasing the tight and pulsing heat of his cloaca, obscenely adorned with the threads of his own seed as excitement could no longer be contained in the coils of his loins.
"oh blitzy--I, aah-- ngh! yes, yeees... more, more please--"
begged obscenities tumbled alongside rugged breaths and moans without restraint past the parted beak of the lascivious supplicant, ruby red crescents squeezed in most sinful bliss as the tongue dared deeper, followed by those wretched claws.
(and they were still in the overture of their evening!)
taut arse wiggled and pushed against the hungry beast's maw, at the mercy of his claws, tail feathers quivering, winged arms squirming and taloned feet bracing and tearing at the bedsheets, helplessly greedy for more of everything he was eking out in torturous parsimony, the obscene touches and squelching noises from the way his own hole sucked everything in teasing him to nigh madness; expert in doling out as much teased frustration as he did pleasure, every slick of that serpentine tongue pushing him deeper into the murkiness of that lustful insanity.
"stop torturing me so-- aahhn,-- fuck, I need more of you-- give me your big cock, stick it in me --please! nnh-- I can't take it much longer--"
despite his brazen enjoyment of that royal arse eating, the desperate, filthy whining and the way his lanky limbs trembled with shameless need was meant to provoke and purposely annoy the other into doing his very worst; no longer was a dignified owl prince-- all solemnity mercilessly buried beneath the sheets of the indecent altar of their desecration, his title sacrificed to the fanged jaws of the hellborn ravishing his behind, the demon's true power at play as that damningly gorgeous imp worked his way to fucking him just the way he craved.
【𐂃】 sassy features decor his demeanor, rude && cheeky. Unamused with the prince's melodramatic inquiry. ( who the fuck else is in this room ?! ) Blitz had all but mused to himself, deciding to keep his rampant tongue at bay. For now. Remaining pleasantly pleased with the gift acceptance.
Settling into the mood: he took a kneel. Thighs rotating inward && his hooves pointing outward. Legs spread apart in a 'W' sitting, claws digging into the sheets as he leaned forward. Prepping, devised to crawl towards his fledging prey when given the signal.
❝ That's right, you're not gettin' the prince treatment tonight, bitch. I'm going to breed you so hard- you won't be able to stand straight when I'm thru with you. ❞ he'd counter, flicking the owl's toe-talons with one of his fingers. A small discipline gesture for not biding his tongue. ( they were here for sex, not words! ) Despite his domineering nature, when it came to intimacy, there wasn't a soul out there he fully committed to like he had with Stolas. Stirring away from condoms, usually going all in. As he intended tonight, enticed to give the owl a belly full of his essence.
Half-lit irises gleamed, observing, fixating on the royal adorning his arms. Causing his hues to become a little, daresay, enamored with the new visage. Recalling the time Stols had taken full demonic form to save his ass. His highness, fully dressed, seeming a bit more plump even. His cheeks were flustered- innerly cursing himself for loosing his cool act. ( suffering with foolish unrealistic thoughts ) The display of an impaired bird beseeching a crooked frown out of him. ( fuckin' hell ) Taken aback he pivoted his head to the side- looking away until the owl's voice chimed in once more. Instantly causing him to wince, urged to shake his head to regain his composure.
❝ uh, right! ❞ he nearly choked, on cue, crawling his way to his majesty. Grasping the base of their tail feathers he fiercely tugged it towards his own body, hosting their rear end higher for a better angle. The imp planned to mount him, but in due time, for now- he grew inclined to moisten their ass first. ( despite it already being wet )
He probed the entrance with his forked tongue. Seductively licking, teasing, leisurely coaxing before slipping his tongue inside. For an extra tingle, entering two fingers at the same time. Deliberately twisting his claws inside to rekindle a few sparks.
#blitzbuckz#[blitz never knows what he signs up for does he??]#[i love that about him]#[he just goes for it and deals with the consequences of an enamoured evil demon prince]#☽ [ ᴘʀ��ᴍᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ sᴀᴛᴇ ᴍʏ ᴅᴀʀᴋ ᴛᴇᴍᴘᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ | NS.FW]

12/28/11
These past couple of weeks, a whirlwind of activity & emotion, some good, a lot rotten to the fucking core. I sit & try to eke out what exactly I’ve been through & the weight of it all feels crushing, as though I couldn’t find the start of pulling myself out of it all long enough to compartmentalize it & store it away. My usual process of dealing with it all. Perhaps the link to why my temper has been shorter, my energy running low. I type this out now because the thought of writing it down yet still seems like a feat, I am as yet incapable of executing. I will start off slow, no order of importance as you will soon see. More of an order of what I am able to deal with in this moment, an attempt to build myself up toward spewing out the rest of it. Among all of this procrastination masquerading as prologue, I will begin.
Max. The past few weeks (excluding my first couple of nights with him upon returning) we have not slept together. Slept next to each other, yes, but without engaging in sexual congress. Neither one of us has made any moves toward each other, & it just never happened. I told myself I wouldn’t try for anything, as it was clear that we were only ever going to be friends, something I pathetically need to remind myself of, as my longing gets in the way of reality more often than than I’d like to admit. So the curse of abstinence was keeping me company. While dealing with the fact of my grandmother’s impending death, I had a bit of a breakdown. Max saw it coming, picked me up & took me to get a bottle of gin & ingredients to make his meatloaf, even purchasing me a pack of cigarettes. We went to his house where I got wrecked on a lot of G&Ts, & we watched cartoons & movies. Eventually I couldn’t stay up any longer in my drunken state, & lay down in his bed, crying heavily. He came & held me, keeping his arms around me & letting me bawl into his shirt. I didn’t see him again for a few days. When we next met up something seemed a bit off, like he was annoyed with me, his patience & entertainment for my silliness seemed needled down to nothing, & I wondered what I’d done to bother him so much. I wondered if perhaps I’d come back & wasn’t the girl he had thought me, or if he was no longer the boy who had liked that about me. As if one or the both of us had simply & quietly outgrown each other. He certainly acted accordingly.
Then Josh came home for xmas, & Max came over after work to see him & my family. He & the boys went out to the bars while I stayed in, making my grandmother’s xmas present. They returned with my brothers drunk & Max well on his way, with more beers in hand. I stayed up with them a bit, through some of the absurd “Hobo With A Shotgun,” but eventually went off to bed. I awoke later to Max taking his clothes off & joining me, crawling beneath the thick comforter & clinging to my body for warmth. I don’t recall whether it was he or me who initiated the sex, but it occurred, in grand fashion. Passionate & trying to stay quiet, lest my parents in the next room overhear, even leaving a hickey on my neck, a first since we were sixteen, which I spent most of the holiday trying to mask & failing. He left the next day & I busied myself with my family & Shawn’s arrival.
Monday night, after our respective family celebrations, he picked me up, excited to show me his gains. He was wearing a plain black teeshirt with his new pair of one-of-a-kind jeans, a prototype too expensive for mass production, a gift from his sister-in-law, the head of this particular brand’s men’s design. He received three other like pairs. We went to his house & set up his new blu-ray player, & put in Woody Allen’s latest, “Midnight In Paris,” which I’d been anxious to see. I began drinking the gin I had left over in Max’s freezer & found myself drunk quickly. Mostly in response to Max’s snapping at me, his impatience at my drunken chatter throughout the film. This came unexpectedly, as he usually has no problem with my chatter, & he himself usually is the source of the chatter during most movies we watch together. I suppose I was probably annoyingly excited at the context of the movie, some of my favorite writers/surrealists being portrayed in such interesting worlds, but I still did not expect his actually telling me to shut up at one point. My feelings smarted from the comment so I tried to burn them back with more alcohol, & texted Shawn & Thom. I told them my night was miserable & they told me the same. Shawn offered to come pick me up but I demurred. Thom ended up calling me to relay a full account of his evening with Shawn & Josh, fistfights & drunken revelry. His story got my head spinning & I stumbled to the bathroom & informed Thom I needed to get off the phone & puke. It was a small amount, & Max slipped in with a glass of water, & back out again. This was a first, he’s never seen me drunk enough to throw up. I’m sure it came as somewhat of a surprise. Eventually I rejoined him, freshened. He was watching a bad television show & we chatted for a bit. He made a pizza & forced me to eat a slice so that I had something in my stomach. I couldn’t hold my head up for long, so I went off to his bed & passed out.
I woke up to his arms tight around me, we’d slept through the whole night like that, which is not a regular occurrence. Seeing him there, his pale strong arms in stark contrast with the black of his teeshirt, his face, half-buried by blanket in the morning light, it had a warming effect on me, like lying in the sun in the dead of summer. I ran my hand up & down his thigh, & he looked at me through slitted eyelids, helped me unbuckle his pants. “Well, someone woke up in a good mood,” he remarked, smiling. I grinned, buried my face between his arm & chest, “You just looked so good in that shirt,” I mumbled, bashful suddenly. The sex was silly & laughing & playing around, the mood light & affectionate. I sat atop him & told him we needed a diner breakfast, to have a badventure day. He laughed, I climbed off of him, we got dressed & departed. The first stop was Denny’s, “We gotta carb up!” he insisted, in anticipation for the heavy purchasing he was about to embark upon. The second stop was Best Buy, where he deliberated & pretended to consider my opinion upon new televisions I don’t know anything about, but bulshitted an answer because he wanted my preference. That same old fun game we play where we pretend my opinions mean anything. I say this good-naturedly, as I really don’t care a bit for technology. Racha was there working, she helped us load the final choice into his car. This was a necessary purchase, he couldn’t have a blu-ray player without getting a hi-def television, that would be absurd. Along with a new set up of course is required new blu-ray movies to watch on it, which is how he ended up with “The Tree of Life,” “The Dark Knight,” & the complete “Rocky” collection. Throw in an HDMI cable, frozen pizza & whiskey, he was set. All in all I watched him drop over a grand in two hours. It served only to enhance his good mood that began with such a lovely wake-up. Watching him put together his new television & setting everything up was so damn attractive, it really intrigued me. Made me quite impatient to watch him put together everything in our future apartment.
To sum this whole entry up, he acts cold & hot towards me, & I don’t know to what end, or just how to interpret it all. In short, everything is pretty standard to how it always is with him. I guess I can’t really ask for more than that, right? It’s at least a still point in my hectically turning world. That’s all I have the energy to contemplate right now. Next entry I’ll catch up on the rest. Maybe.

Creator Spotlight: @k-eke
My name is Kévin, but everybody calls me Kéké! I’m a 2D animator and illustrator, mostly drawing little bouncy animals and sharing them on the internet. I like cartoons and storytelling, trying to create stories where people can find themselves in, also trying to go further and develop stories that are rare in media, such as LGBTQ+ content, for example. I try to keep up with my 3DS to create my work and see how far I can go with it!
Below is our full interview with Kévin!
How did you get your start in animation?
I started animation back on September 4th, 2009, this is when I discovered Flipnote Studio on the DSi for the first time. I did try to animate before but solely on paper, and I had no knowledge about the medium at all, so it was an amazing discovery. I later became self-taught and could keep going by myself.
What is one habit you find yourself doing a lot as a creator?
I feel the habit that talks the most to me as a creator is communication. I feel it’s important to communicate with your public and fans to keep them updated and knowing how things are moving. It’s getting overwhelming to me the more I grow because the community is massive. Still, I keep up, and I thank many people for always updating me when something wrong happens (thieves, plagiarism, etc., etc.).
From idea to final piece, how long does it take for you to create something?
It all depends on the idea and process of the creation. For example, if my idea is just to animate a cat bouncing, this might take me a few minutes. Otherwise, if I want to animate 50 pigeons bouncing, this will take me around 5 hours or more! In general, an animation takes me less than a day or more if I’m busy on the side and can’t advance as much as I wish I could.
Have you ever had an art block? If so, how did you overcome it?
Art blocks often happen. I take them as good to rest and do something else. It’s not a must to draw/animate all the time or too often, and when it happens, I take it easy and try to entertain myself and see when it will be back. Also, I scribble sometimes just to feel like I’m still drawing but not with a point to reach a certain idea, just to let my hand go and make something silly. The mood can come back faster this way!
How do you use Tumblr to further your creativity?
I love Tumblr for the fact you can post 10 illustrations/GIFs as one whole post. This is not possible on other websites I know, so that was great for me to be able to make a compilation of GIFs and post it all there in one shot. It was really helpful and also allowed me to make a few little stories with this opportunity.
What is the hardest part of your process?
The hardest part is drawing on a DSi, 3DS literally! It’s so limited, with few colors (4 or 6 depending on the version), 2 or 3 layers, no zoom, and no options to make camera moves …… but I still love it haha. I’m so used to it that those don’t annoy me anymore, I accepted them, and people admire my art for it (I think!)
Have you ever wanted to dive into another medium before?
I did. Now I use TVPaint and Flash, toon boom more often, but in the end, I still come back to Flipnote Studio because it’s my favorite tool and program.
Who on Tumblr inspires you and why?
So many inspire me it would be hard to choose! But I did love Sarah Andersen, Owlturd comics a lot, visually and the humor. Also, the use of Tumblr to post multiple pages at once: it inspired me to try it as well!
Thank you for stopping by, Kévin! Check out more of Kévin’s work over at @k-eke!

summary: gojo’s tired of you resisting him
warnings: home invasion, noncon, degradation, fem!reader
a/n: this was supposed to be a crumb for @mahitopegger i have no idea wtf happened. i didn’t edit this || reposted from sideblog (now deactivated) on 4/17/2021.
It was only after the soft click of your door, and the eerie silence thereafter that seemed to threaten to close you in, that you realized that something wasn’t quite right. Your eyes darted left, then right, and you kicked off your shoes slower than usual, setting them semi-haphazardly to the side of your entryway.
Even if you weren’t paranoid, you were still the type of person to double check, sometimes triple-check your locks on occasion before you left your home, and you did remember your key turning the right way just seconds ago.
Maybe you were overreacting - after all you lived in a relatively safe area, alone save for your cat with a propensity to mewl for food at all hours of the day. Ah, that was possibly the issue, the fact that your little furry friend hadn’t made his presence immediately. But he knew how to be quiet sometimes, and was fond of an early afternoon nap.
The sound of your keys clattering on your coffee table now seemed unceremoniously loud, like you were disturbing a religious service. In your own house.
Your heart started to race for just a moment, and you turned around quickly.
Nothing. No person, no ghost, no cat. Just you, a sudden sense of unease, and your rapidly beating heart.
Why were you so anxious?
You couldn’t recall the last time you’d felt so unsettled for the moments in which you paced down your hallway, ears tuned to the soft footfalls of your presumably sleeping companion. You would have whispered its name but you didn’t want to wake up the needy little bastard unnecessarily.
It was only three paces in that you stilled suddenly, and the memory of the last time you’d felt this way suddenly struck vividly in your mind.
Clear blue eyes, bordered by long, pale white eyelashes. A smile, once easy and bright, with corners turned up far too high into malice.
You froze.
Was it him? Was Gojo in your house? He wouldn’t... would he?
Your last encounter had been... suboptimal, to say the least. You’d all but told him to get lost, that you weren’t and would never be interested, not after knowing who he was, what he was.
You needed a quiet, calm existence. Your imprint on the world would be measured. You had to stay away from bad omens like his.
But his reaction had been unnatural. He hadn’t given you a real response, just a smile, and you had felt just as unnerved then as you did now before you parted.
You were clearly still spooked.
But these nerves were just vestiges of your anxiety. Gojo knew how to take no for an answer. Of course he did.
He didn’t - you opened your bedroom to find the young sorcerer waiting for you, your cat comfortable in his arms.
“Ah! You’re back~”
Gojo didn’t move; rather, he continued to sit in his relaxed position, legs outstretched onto the bed, palm stroking softly at the soft orange fur. The soft purr of the docile animal filled the air with sharp contrast to your wordless mouth, opening and closing once in shock, and the frenzied beat of your heart.
He smiled before his eyes did, and shifted on top of your covers, getting to his feet. Dressed casually in a white t-shirt and a loose pair of sweatpants, as though he’d been lounging around your house the entire day... as though he lived here.
“W-what are you doing here?” You choked out.
His eyebrows furrowed, and his hold on the little creature relaxed, who remained for just a moment, mewing once before jumping off his lap, brushing by your legs that felt as though they would start shaking any moment, and then promptly sauntered out of the room.
“You didn’t tell me you had a cat,” Satoru remarked, now sitting with legs criss-crossed on the bed, hair mussed and relaxed, and with affect as bright as a child on his first sleepover. He patted the space on the bed next to him, beckoning you to come sit. “Did you have a good day?”
“Gojo, please get out of my house.”
His expression darkened for just a moment before it returned to its natural cheeriness. He patted the space next to him again.
“You must be tired. I can make you something. Tea?”
Your feet were glued to the ground, neither advancing nor retreating.
“P-please leave,” you repeated, more wary this time. Your hands were starting to shake and you watched his eyes flicker to them, then back to your eyes.
“Why would I do that?” He said, tilting his head ever so slightly.
His eyes bore into yours and you felt your stomach turn.
“Don’t you like my attention?”
“Satoru, please,” you continued, your lower lip wobbling inadvertently. “Please, just leave... I won’t tell anyone you came here, just... I can’t return whatever feelings you have, so just go.”
Your fists clenched and unclenched, but you still were so tense, planted onto the floor as though you were a sharp dagger thrust into vulnerable flesh. Why weren’t your feet moving? You should be running. Running as far as you can from this man who could just as easily become a monster if he so pleased.
As though he knew you’d already become powerless - not that it made a difference, the power differential was already so vast - he rose, walking towards you in an open, unguarded stance. He wasn’t afraid of you in the least. The very thought made your blood boil.
Once he stood before you, towering over your shorter, smaller frame, his lips pursed.
“Stop shaking.”
It was a command, given in an annoyed but direct fashion.
You don’t know why you eked out, powerlessly, “I can’t.”
“You weren’t this afraid when you were telling me to fuck off a couple days ago,” he noted. His hand rose to grip your chin, tilting your face to him. You don’t know when you’d started crying, but tears were now streaming down your face, warm and wetting his fingers.
“You’re crying? Where’s the sass you had then?”
“Please...”
Against your better wishes, his lips pressed to yours, and somehow then, your body remembered that adrenaline could also make you fight, and you did fight, thumping your hands balled into fists against his chest and his shoulders, as his hand gripped your chin tighter and his tongue forced its way down your throat. Once he’d gotten tired of your struggle, his other arm hooked around your waist, and he pulled you closer, pressing you against his body.
Your screams were muffled by his kiss as it grew deeper, and at some point, he’d decided on biting your lip painfully, drawing blood once he’d threatened you to shut the fuck up before he gave you something to cry about for real.
You remembered that the first time Gojo had kissed you, it had been soft and tender, nothing like this kiss that was violent and demanded submission; once his hand moved from its grip on your chin, it grasped your hair, fingers twisting and tugging to tilt your head back.
His lips left yours, now red and soon purple and blue, and made their way down your neck to mark them the same.
Every scream was futile, every plea for mercy fell on deaf ears.
At some point, you may have heard your cat meow for something... food? Out of sympathy? You weren’t sure, all you could think about were the painful hickeys on your collarbones and traveling down your bosom.
“I don’t know why you’re so resistant. You yourself called me selfish,” he murmured, ripping the top part of your clothing with the nonchalance with which one would peel a banana. At the sight of your exposed breasts, he was like a man rabid, slamming you backwards into the wall without much regard for head injury. His left arm caged you in, while his right pressed painfully onto your breast.
He paused for a moment, and grinned salaciously.
“Oh, don’t look at me like that~! You look so docile... it’s weird coming from you.”
To that, a fire renewed in your eyes, and you spat directly in his face. His lips curled again in satisfaction, barely reacting to the spittle dripping down his pretty features.
“Fuck you.”
“I will.”
With a small chuckle, he jerked your face painfully to the left such that you couldn’t look at him directly as he took your breast into his mouth.
The idea of this bastard suckling on you, loudly, lewdly as though you’d belonged to him only made the churn in your stomach worse, but the desperate attempts to a knee to his chest were met with barely a resistance. Like he knew you couldn’t hurt him and it was only a matter of time until you stopped and succumbed to him.
The process was already happening - you could feel your nipples hardening and a new flow of heat in your panties. Your tears became more prolific - no longer fear, but rage, but the hand that kept you steady against the wall was impossibly strong.
Your head swam as a confused pleasure started to replace the pain and fear you were feeling. More clothing was torn off of you, more of your skin was marked and licked and sucked. Once your panties were ripped to shreds, he lay your now languid and fight-drained body against him, cooing appreciatively at the new helplessness, pumping two slender fingers up and down your wet inner core as he moved you from the hard wall to the soft bed.
You almost thanked him.
His fingers remained within you as he laid you down, but once he withdrew his touch as your pounding hazy head hit the pillow, he replaced them with the roughness of his tongue, penetrating you without the least bit of shame.
You let slip the moan you had been holding in in defiance.
“That’s it, baby, let me hear you.”
He continued to lick and you continued to mewl.
Once he’d tired of the taste of your cunt, he invaded your privacy in the most all-encompassing way possible, pushing every inch of a greedy, throbbing cock inside of you. As you cried from the stretch, he shushed you with a hand clasped over your mouth to muffle your screams.
As if someone was going to help you. Maybe your cat would come and watch, but he’d found something else to do.
“I know it hurts but you’ll get used to it, I promise, babe,” he murmured, groaning slightly as he seated himself to the hilt. “There.”
He stilled and in the silence of the moment only punctuated by both of your soft pants, you remembered how to sob.
His nose crinkled, and he let out of a soft sigh, cock jerking impatiently inside you.
“Why are you so stubborn?” He mused, leaning against you so that his head rested in the softness of your breasts. He could hear your heartbeat that doesn’t beat for him... but rather it did, because he is the one making it quicken in some odd rhythm of terror and pleasure.
You didn’t speak because there was far, far too much to yell.
As though a timer had rung to mark the end of his empathy, he rose onto his hands again, sighing as he adjusted into the plushness of your walls that didn’t reject him as fervently as you did. He moved, shoving two fingers down your throat to gag your renewed protests as he thrust into you repeatedly.
The short gasps with every stroke only encouraged him, and the immense pleasure he found in the light of your eyes starting to fade into a placid dullness.
“You love me,” he informed you with every rut.
You didn’t answer.
You weren’t sure what this disgusting repetitive sensation bringing your body to climax was. You were no longer sure what he was even talking about, just that there was a warm thing pumping inside of you and fingers down your throat and pain everywhere else in your body, particularly your neck and shoulders and arms and breasts, and you were staring into precious sapphires littering the base of twin lakes.
“You love me,” he repeated. “I know you do.”

I'm gonna add my two cents, but honestly, these points sum up the fact Tales of the Jedi did not hit home to me.
First, yes, as someone who has delved into Legends to escape the hellfire caused by the Sequels, I feel calling the series Tales of the Jedi felt like a misleading slap in the face. I believed that Disney (of all industries), was finally going to acknowledge the gold mine of stories that Legends has to offer. It is a gold mine with fantastic stories. The comics that are hard enough to come by in physical copies are brought to life in modern-day animation. Bring back and show fans of Canon continuity what the Republic used to be over 3000yrs ago. A time so tumultuous and war-stricken, it makes the Clone Wars look like a joke. No, Filoni (and I have gotten critical on a few pieces of his works and getting a bit salty about some retcons he's causing), disregards it and uses the title of a Legends comic for a short animation series focused on Canon. He really couldn't think of a more unique title to set it apart from a Legends comic.
The episodes about Count Dooku (being somewhat better than the other episodes we got), still retcon their other media formats, being that again: Jedi Lost, which neither have I read, so I can't judge. Anyone who has read the novel, do feel free to put in your two cents/analysis.
The last slap in the face, Filoni retconned or half-retconned EK Johnston's novel. Not only he retconned how Sixteenth Brother died, but he also replaced Miara Larte, Kaeden's sister, and inserted a 'brother' instead. Why Filoni? Just why?
Star Wars is notorious for retcons and overwriting itself, tossing aside other works. I admit Legends has fallen into that same trap, but that was pretty much ages ago. No one really follows into Legends continuity anymore. Canon had a somewhat decent flow onto it. The main point of having continuity, you stick to it. You follow it. You don't just whack trash off the counter to make room for your own. You find a way to make it fit, and make them flow naturally. These retcons have overwritten certain contents of an already hard-to-follow canon timeline.
Tales of the Jedi has overall failed to impress me, what annoys me more is Filoni slowly writing out other media to fit his own timeline. I hate to say it, but while Filoni did bring some excellent content to Star Wars, he is also destroying SW continuity. This a good video to look into why I see and agree with the thought, check out this video by the YouTuber Geetsly under this link (click the underlined 'under this link).
Filoni and Eckstein are the reason I came back to SW, but I didn't come to watch some good stories from previous comics and novels to be retconned (which also sometimes fuck up my canon SW fics I write, I mean "this is canon. This is fine" to "oh great, back to the rewrite, but I can just leave what I have since I'm not bothered to retcon my own fics to keep in line with canon"). I respect canon, and I respect Legends. For those who read my fics, I incorporate a lot of Legends content into the canon and make it fit. Don't get me wrong, Filoni is a better writer than even the directors of the Sequels and the writers who wrote some episodes of Boba Fett. Filoni, please get your continuity straightened out and stop retconning. You have plenty of springboards to use.
My problems with Tales of The Jedi
First off, the title. There’s a fantastic comic series called Tales of the Jedi, its an old republic era story and Dave Filioni just completely disregarded it
It retcons at least Dooku: Jedi Lost and the Ashoka novel. I haven’t read Jedi Lost, so i cant speak to how the Dooku episodes compare to it. However, I have read the Ashoka novel, and I can say that the last episode doesnt even come close to the quality of the novel.
The Ashoka novel takes time to establish where Ashoka is hiding out, the people who she’s having to deal with in her day to day. It was our first experience seeing the Star Wars galaxy from her perspective alone, it was amazing. And Dave made a mockery of the plot in less than half an hour.
Now, do I hate the show? No, its just Clone Wars v3 and thats fine. I really liked the animation and all the visuals. However, it shouldn’t be able to stomp all over other works just because its Clone Wars.
