Yesss that’s absolutely fine can’t wait to read it 😁😁😁
Conflicted
(link to og ask)
WARNINGS: eventual smut/porn w plot (READ AT YOUR OWN RISK), female s/o, threesome (the boys aren’t dating each other tho cuz INCEST), unprotected sex (piv), dp (double penetration), praise, degradation, name calling (slut), a bit of worship, oral/facefucking (m receiving), brief tit and pussy slapping, brief nipple play, a bit of aftercare, lmk if I missed any!
synopsis: The twins take their best friend on a trip with their family, and end up confessing things that weren't wanted to be said.
-> note: Scott still does have sexual trauma, but it was with his aunt (who they now have a restraining order against). I’m so sorry this took so long!
WC: 1,922 words
Sam and Scott were going on a trip to Maine; their grandparents had owned a house there and they handed it down to their parents, so now they used it as a vacation home whenever they were going up there for a bit. This time, though, they wanted to bring an extra guest.
"Morning, mom," Scott said as he came down the stairs from his room. Sam was already in the kitchen, eating a bowl of cereal. It was rare to see him actually eating elsewhere besides his own room, but his excuse was he "just felt like it."
"Hi, sweetie," she responds lovingly as she makes herself some waffles, "what do you want for breakfast?"
"Uhm... I'll just have some cereal," he decides, grabbing the box and pouring some into a bowl he fetches as well.
The silence was deafening, and all it did was create a slight tension in the room. "Mom..." Scott starts, and he looks at Sam, raising his eyebrows at him. They discussed this last night, wanting to ask to bring their best friend (and crush) along with them, but they never really came to a final thought. Sam shook his head quickly, but stopped and continued eating his food normally when their mother turned around.
"Yes?" she said. "What is it?"
He hesitates for a minute, wondering if he should give into not asking like his brother wanted him to, but he decided to ask anyways, being the asshole he is. "...Can our friend come with us to Maine?"
Sam groaned, slamming his head onto the island in frustration, which earned him a silently scolding look from his mother. He was fucked as soon as Sam could get him alone.
"The one that dresses like you?" she asks, to which he nods. "...Well, we all like her and enjoy her company. So, to be honest, I don't see why not."
Scott's eyes widened in surprise, and Sam's head shot up, his expression one of pure shock too. "What?" their voices rung out through the kitchen.
"A thing at work popped up, emergency, so I can't go with you guys. However, I'd be more than happy if she went with you both, so then you'll have someone else to hang out with. I was going to invite her anyways."
They certainly didn't see that coming.
That’s how they ended up loading up their mom’s van with their bags, waiting for her to show up. Their hearts pounded in their ears, the tension only heightening with each passing second.
And then she showed up, wearing a simple sweatshirt and sweatpants. It was going to be a long ride, so it made sense why she’d want to dress comfortable. But all it did was make their cocks harden in their pants. They thought she looked good in anything; she could wear a potato sack and they’d still get aroused.
“Hey, guys,” she greets as she carries her bags with her, gently putting them on the ground to return the hugs they immediately gave her. They were acting like they were little kids on Christmas with how excited they were.
“Hey,” Sam said, ruffling her hair a bit playfully. “You excited?”
“You should be,” Scott chimed in, “the place we have in Maine is huge. We got jet skis and kayaks for the lake, we got a shit ton of games… It’s gonna be so fuckin’ fun.”
"I bet," she responds as she puts her bags in the back, the twins following suit with theirs. Sam couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt; she might just think of them as friends, but they wanted something more. What if they completely screwed up if they told her, and that their friendship was ruined?
Scott felt the sudden tension from his brother, since they're pretty much involuntarily synced, and elbows him lightly. They both lock in a stare, and immediately, Scott knows what he's thinking about. "It'll be fine, man," he whispers to his brother.
"Are you sure about that?" he murmurs back, hoping it didn't seem suspicious. However, he felt a bit of relief since she was already opening the door and getting in the car. "I just... I don't know about this, dude."
"We at least gotta try," Scott says, "because we'll never know if we don't. You know she ain't gonna make the first move if she does feel the same."
Sam nods a little, "I know, I know. I guess we can try... I at least wanna stay friends. But what if she doesn't wanna?"
He sighs. "Then we'll just have to live with that. Somehow."
The both of them just decide it's probably the best that they stop talking, and they both get in the car as well. They weren't going to get anywhere just sitting there with their dicks painfully hard.
Once they got there, they settled in, unpacking their things and chilling out on the couch. The place was massive, and they took pride in it as they saw how awestruck she was. They were right on the water, too, which made it even more of a beautiful area.
"I wanna go for a quick swim," she states, getting up from the couch, "you two can come if you want. Then we can watch a bunch of horror movies when I get back, like we wanted."
They nod, and Scott looks over the couch. "I'll come," he says, turning off whatever random movie they put on.
Sam only took the initiative, feeling a little bit of jealousy, "I'll come too."
And so they all changed into swimwear, and the twins couldn't help but stare as they saw her in a black bikini. She smirked, rolling her eyes playfully. "Like what you see?"
They snapped out of their trance, their faces flushing a bit in embarrassment. They were way too alike sometimes.
She chuckled, "I'm just fucking with you guys."
They made their way to the dock, and she was the first jump in, emerging a few seconds later and moving her hair away from her face. "C'mon, you chickens!" she called out. "The water's perfect."
Sam looked at his brother, who simply shrugged, before following suit and jumping in. Coming up a few seconds later, he gestured for Sam to join them. He sighed, rolling his eyes before doing the same.
Eventually it became a warzone, all of them splashing water at each other and laughing. It was perfect, the addition of the sunset making the moment even more memorable, and Sam couldn't hold it in anymore. As she sent water towards him, he went under, popping up right in front of her.
His blue-grey eyes locked on hers, and they both just looked at each other for a moment before he cupped her face and kissed her passionately. Surprisingly, she was kissing back. Thank god, that would've been awkward.
Scott, for one, was shocked. Wasn't Sam literally the one that was reluctant to do this in the first place a few hours before? However, he didn't object to the idea, making his way over to the two. He put himself behind her, grabbing her hips and kissing her neck.
She moaned a bit into the kiss as she got double the attention, wrapping her arms around Sam's neck as their tongues danced.
He picked her up while still kissing her, her legs wrapping around his waist, and carried her inside, Scott following the two eagerly. They were in for a wild ride.
They laid a towel on the bed, and put her down on top of it, taking a second to just admire her there. Her hair was fanned out above her head, as if it were a halo, and she was panting for air she was trying to regain from the heated kiss. They made quick work of removing their swimwear, and soon all three of them were naked.
They couldn't even believe this was happening right now, but she wasn't objecting to anything, so they took it as the hint that she wanted this just as much.
"Jus' tell us if it's too much, mkay?" Sam murmurs, to which she nods in response.
She then looks over at Scott. "Are you sure about this, Scotty?" she asks, "I don't want you to force yourself-"
"I've never wanted anything more in my entire life," he cuts her off. "I'm okay. Trust me."
He then then grabbed her hips, bringing her to the edge of the bed, his cock right at her entrance. "I'm goin' first."
Sam rolled his eyes and got on the bed above her, tapping the fat head of his dick to her lips. "Kiss."
She obeyed, giving little kisses to his tip like she were worshipping him. He smirked, satisfied. "Good girl... gonna have to make you worship me a lot more often. Lick."
She once again complied, kitten licking the throbbing head. He sighed in content, watching her submit to him as Scott pushed inside her.
She gasped, her head tilting back a bit so now her nose was touching Sam's tip, and he slapped her breast, making her cry out. "I didn't tell you to stop, slut," he growls, and she immediately goes back to kissing and licking, to which he hums in approval. "There y' go. Good fuckin' girl."
Scott set an unimaginable pace, barely giving her time to adjust. He just fit so perfectly, how could he resist? "Oh my fuck, Sam. You're gonna love this pussy just as much as I am," he grunted, "fit so nicely. She was so made for us."
"Yeah?" he says to his brother, before giving her another command. "Open."
She opens her mouth, and he slides inside, ignoring her tiny gag and he thrust into her throat. "Oh wow, baby. You're a fuckin' natural. Takin' us like a pro."
"I'm gonna cum!" she whimpered, though it was muffled because she had Sam's cock stuffed down her throat. They could make out what she said, though, and Scott only sped up, even though it felt like he was already at maximum speed.
"C'mon, cum for us," Scott coaxed, moving his hand to give little slaps on her clit, amplifying her pleasure. At the same time, Sam pinched both her nipples while still fucking her face, sending her over the edge and squirting all over Scott's cock.
He groaned and followed shortly after, shooting ropes of his hot seed inside her, her walls milking him for every last drop. Sam came at the same time as his brother, ironically, releasing his cum into her mouth and pulling out shortly after. "Show me," he commands, to which she sticks her tongue out, his seed on her tongue and in her mouth. He hums in content, smirking, "Swallow." She complies, and he leans down to kiss her.
Scott had a smug smirk on his face, too, pulling out to admire his work and watch his cum drip from her greedy hole. "Let's switch."
After a long, intense night, the three of them cuddled under the sheets, her in the middle, Scott in front of her and Sam behind her.
"...I love you guys," she whispers, still overstimulated from all the rounds they had.
Sam smiles, kissing her cheek from behind. "I love you too."
"And I love you too," Scott adds, not wanting to give his brother the upper hand, kissing her forehead.
She smiles to herself, "So, are we're like... dating now?"
"Well, duh," Sam responds, putting his chin on her head. "Just not dating... each other, y'know."
Scott nods in agreement. "But we're gonna have to get used to sharing, then."
Sam smirks a bit, "I'm fine with that."
HOPE YOU ENJOYED! <3

Hi hun. May I ask a date scenario with Monster? There are not enough content about him😔. I feel like most of people choose the "socially beauty standards fitting" mens and it makes me mad even though it's never their fault to begin with, people are allowed to have their preference ofc😭. A person even got ridiculed for asking a NSFW scenario with him in wattpad "seriously, there is people who want to f with this guy?", like damn that's too offensive😭.
omg!! i never got the idea why people in fandoms judging others for characters choice?? like guuurl just remember that once u picked ur ex and don’t mention that somebody ACTUALLY wanna fuck big (of course i mean his heart) hot men. and yesss 100% agree Monster deserve much more attention. his interaction with his teammate in last chapters?? sorry? hubby materials??? aaand i wanted to check his age on wiki but it display only his date of birth and omg!!! he is february pisces like me!!!
warnings : none, romance, fluff, you are clearly not friends, but still not a couple, everyday life
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
you and Monster met in same class in university when it was first day of the semester. you two accidently seat together and when teacher started to read materials to the group, everybody started to type in their laptops so fast that poor boy were so confused. in the end of lecture you noticed that he barely wrote anything and clearly was confused to ask someone for leacture notes. so you kindly offered him your texts and asked to exchanges your emails, so you could easily send notes to him.
in the evening Monster recieved notification about incoming file. when he opened it he saw your texts from lecture and bull emoji added in the end (which you swear you put there unintentionally, just because he reminded you that cute emoji). he spent solid 15 minutes to upload notes to his laptop and another 10 minutes to write an answer to you and ask if you can teach him how to type that fast and how to insert that emojis in his works. in fact, this response looked more like an order than a request. imagine sitting at home, comfortably ensconced at a table, watching some kind of TV series, or preparing for the next day and getting an answer that looks like "hello. thanks for the notes. teach me how to type that fast. and how to insert such picture? thank you."
"such a technologically challenged granny," you thought to yourself as you chuckled looking in the monitor.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
so here you two were, sitting in café not really far from university on your 4th or 5th private IT lesson with Monster. you sit near each other and your shoulders nearly touched. Monster carefully listend to what you explained to him and showed on his keyboard. it was already five pm and golden light on sunset filled to café you two set in. and when he rose his eyes from your fingers on his keybord to your face he felt how his breath stopped. like he was on football field again, someone knocked him off and his breath got lost. your face was filled with golden light, the hair reflected the light of the setting sun even more strongly, and it seemed as if it was glowing. and then he made the greatest mistake, he turned his gaze lower to your lips… he didn’t hear what you told him, he simply was hypnotized and admired the view that opened before him.
as the golden hour bathed the café in a warm glow, the atmosphere between you two seemed to shift. Monster's gaze lingered on your lips for a moment too long, but when he finally looked back into your eyes, there was a spark of recognition, a shared understanding of something unspoken. with a smile, you gently redirected the conversation back to the task at hand, but there was a newfound connection between you.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
over the following weeks, your IT lessons together evolved into something more than just exchanging technical knowledge. you found yourselves sharing personal stories, laughing at inside jokes, and discovering common interests beyond the classroom. for example he asked if you want to came to his cycling competition, just to have a look of course, not like he wanted to show off.
as the semester progressed, so did your friendship. you attended more classes together, studied late nights at the library, and you even went on that cycling competition few times to cheer for him, which also mean that you met his friends and teammates. during one race you had a talk with Monster's friend - Gyuchan. "so you and Deokbong, huh?" - he asked looking down on you. in respond you looked away and blushed. you two clearly have something in between, but never talked about. "uuh, yeah, we are good friends, i help him with all that computer stuff, and we hang out sometimes, you know?" - nervously, your eyes searched something to focus on. Gyuchan just mumbled something, nod with his head and looked up on a monitor where race been translated.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
your friendship seemed to have reached a peak, or Monster lost his nerves, and one evening, when all the exams were passed, before the start of the summer holidays, once again escorting you home, he took a deep breath into his lungs and chattered quietly, "wouldyouliketogoonadatewithme?”
when you heard his words, you had almost opened the door, and immediately froze in disbelief. turning around, you rushed to him, and hugged him as tightly as possible, burying your face in his broad chest. "you're such a silly Deok!! why you needed to wait all that year?!!” - you could feel how your voice and whole body trembled and then his big, warm hands on your back and waist, gently rubbing you. “sorry..that i made you wait..” - he replied, after a little thought and in his usual, gentle tone.
looking up at him with your eyes, almost bursting into tears, you said “of course i will go on a date with you, silly Monster” - and he smiled at you for that nickname.
you spent another hour together, hugging and talking, sharing the ideas for your first date, until you finally chose the place and activity you wanted to do together. honestly you were surprised how you didn’t know that Deok had a skill with sewing, but you were excited to go with him to his classes, and finally he will teach you, something he were prof in.(something less traumatic then professional cycling race)
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
the date day was truly wonderful, it was hot, but the cool breeze made it a little more bearable, there was not a cloud in the sky, and there were almost no people on the streets and in transport, because the holidays began only for students.
you met at the subway exit, and grabbing Monster by the elbow, you pulled him to move quickly, to show you what kind of sewing class he attended. when you were on the threshold of the classroom, you were met by a nice woman, and after greeting Monster, she looked at you with a smile and asked if you were his girlfriend, to which you both looked down, and blushing, Deok nodded silently. the woman chuckled softly and motioned for you to enter.
when teacher showed you how to handle all the materials correctly, she left the two of you at the same desk to help other students. you watched with interest how deftly Deokbong handled the needle, and inspired, you also set to work. and so, you both spent a couple of hours, sometimes asking him for help, talking about some little things or quietly hissing when a needle pricked your fingers. this didn’t go unnoticed by Monster. when you finished your work, and it was time to get ready to leave, you thanked the woman for the lesson, promising to come back again. As soon as the two of you left the room, to your surprise, Deok grabbed your hand and pulled you along without saying a word. "wh... what? where are we going?" you asked, smiling, inspired by his determination. a couple of minutes later, you were near pharmacy, and as he asked you to wait outside, Monster disappeared through the door.
less than 5 minutes later, he appeared again from behind the door, with a small box in his hands. it was band-aids. he took you a little further, onto the bench, and taking your hand began to carefully seal the cuts left by the needle.
it seemed such a simple act of caring, but the warmth from his big, strong hands, so gently holding your fingers, gave you a pleasant warmth in your chest. but then, he bent lower to your hand, and left a light kiss on the phalanges of your fingers, gently stroking them with his hand from the inside.
needless to say that in that day he walked you to your house as usual, and in golden sunset, you shared your first, shy kiss with Deokbong Kim.

not to out myself as like. scrolling through the rimi writes tag in chronological order and also finally having read straight on til morning. but the dancing in sotm and ballroom dance AU made me scream because i've been taking tango classes recently and just the intimacy. the connection and feeling of safety it requires to dance well with another person. timkon dancing makes my heart full thank you for my life and i'm glad to know another ballroom dance fiend thinks about them
omg YESSSSS YEESSSS im running to you i miss dance so much asdlkjf and im glad youre having fun with tango!!! im guessing youre doing argentine?
BUT YESSS i love partner dancing bc the connection, the intimacy of it. the way you have to press your entire body against your partner's for a dance like viennese waltz because it's fast and spinny and you really want to maximize your physical connection to keep your center of gravity stable. my whole team were just very comfortable physically laying on each other/with general casual touch because of the nature of partner dance and honestly it was sooo <3. i imagine yj are similar, like you have to have that physical trust when you're out there doing hero stuff together. and im pretty sure the entire team just manhandles tim for fun and profit. especially kon. (im looking at you wf3.)
BUT YEAHHHH i love to think about them dancing. with the power of ttk they could ballroom dance in the sky somewhere. i think they SHOULD even.

Do you have any Obikin fics that you could recommend? I'm dipping my toes in the water for the first time because of the Ranwan parallels
Hehe YESSS happy to provide for a fellow ranwanist!! I actually never read fic before this ship so I’m so happy I can finally answer a fic request ask!!
I’ll give you the first three I read that really got me into the ship because of 2ha adjacent vibes!! These are good entry points I think for my beloved 2ha followers, because over the past few months most of the stuff I read has gotten more fandom-esoteric lol
All He’ll See is Me is basically the premise of 2ha condensed into a clean 35k and was my first fic-intro to the ship. Evil dark lord dies and gets sent back in time and porks his teacher, but this time, it’s in space! I’m pretty sure it’s the most popular fic in the ship tag based on kudos
haunt me then is very much a 0.5 timeline esque 7k one-shot the author describes as "he came back wrong to you, but he came back to me” featuring weird codependent willing attic wifey stuff with the shadow of the person you used ton love and still love. absolutely delicious, and is nonlinear for extra flavor.
Come Down From Your Holy Mountain is the one I credit to really launching my interest, it’s like completed at 150k where, instead of leaving Anakin to die after chopping off his limbs on a volcano planet, decides to save him and rehab him. I really loved how involved the plot was and the slow-burn development of their relationship
Also, though it’s not a fic, it may as well be so I’m suggesting it. If you decide this ship is up your alley do your self a favor and read the The Revenge of the Sith novelization by Matt Stover. Aside from being really really really phenomenally written, is literally the most yaoi a book’s ever been without being explicitly yaoi. It’s somehow even more homoerotically charged and gayngsty than any fanfiction where they have sex. I literally cannot articulate to you how fucking insane it is. It’s literally what actually drove home my obsession because I was kind of like “okay wow…this codependent one sided yaoi is actually way more insane than I ever imagined” because Matt Stover writes Obi-Wan like a repressed gay monk in love with his friend, and as a result literally every other author to write official Star Wars books involving them channeled that energy but amped up the weird to untouchable levels.
Some batshit from the novel since I need to get this across to you:
“Blade-to-blade, they were identical. After thousands of hours in lightsaber sparring, they knew each other better than brothers, more intimately than lovers; they were complementary halves of a single warrior.”
“Every day and every night [Obi-Wan] violated every principle the Jedi had taught him about staying in the present moment, about acceptance. Going over every argument, every talk, to find the key that he should have turned in order to unlock the secrets of Anakin's heart.”
‘Palpatine lifted his shoulders. "Perhaps not. Perhaps it's simply a question of whether you love Obi-Wan Kenobi more than you love your wife."’
A scene where Anakin’s wife basically calls out Obi-Wan for loving Anakin and it literally reads like someone’s wife confronting her oblivious straight husband’s “confirmed bachelor” friend when he’d thought he’d kept it a secret.
And more. On like every page to the point where I was like. What the actual fuck were you on.
Anywayssssss hope this was helpful to you LMAO!!! If anyone wants recs or to chat you’re always more than welcome to DM me to ask or talk about it lol.

y’all mind if i yap about the walton gq interview a bit?
okay shoutout to my friend ash for manifesting this interview after danny did his LMAO
FIRST THOUGHTS: WHERE THE FUCK IS VENUS???
if you asked me his most iconic characters, venus is absolutely in the top three. how the fuck do they mention BILLY CRASH and JAY WHITTLE but not VENUS VAN DAM???? fuck whoever came up with this list.
now that that’s out of my system, let’s go in order, shall we?
lee russell: ty walton for describing russell fucking perfectly. him and i are the only people who understand russell. (jk) ALSO YESSS THE DUCK LIPS BUT SIR CAN YOU SAY A LINE. PLEASEEE. on my knees. MOST IMPORTANTLY; WALTON SHIPS GAMBYRUSSELL. FUCK YESSSS 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 LOVE WINS
cooper howard: snore. i’m so fucking bored of this guy. are we not tired of hearing shit about the goddamn ghoul. moving on.
shane vendrell: STOP MAKING ME WATCH LEM DIE. CHRIST. but thank you again walton for focusing more on the shield than on your biggest piece of shit character!! and when he started talking ‘psychological condition’ it reminded me of how i’m like almost certain shane is bipolar. wonder if he’d agree w me on that? anyways.
boyd crowder: WHYYYY DO THEY HAVE TO PLAY THE FINAL SCENE HOLY FUCKING SHIT I ALMOST CRIED AGAIN. so thankful to mr. olyphant for convincing walton to do justified. their chemistry IS SO PALPABLE. his love for boyd and raylan and justified in general is so fucking precious to me and it makes the show so much more special and it would absolutely not be justified if it weren’t for his spectacular input. i could listen to him blab on about that show all fucking day, it’s the whole reason i love him. beautiful fucking words to describe it. just speechless. much love to this man. ‘raylan givens is an asshole. but he’s my asshole.’ WE KNOW YOU’RE THE ORIGINAL RAYLANBOYD SHIPPER, BABE. 🩶
baby billy freeman: this bit was JAM PACKED w info and i loved it sm. really shocked they just came up w him on the spot but you could really tell cuz he’s like the perfect combination of walton’s ideas and danny’s ideas cultivated into this old man. too bad he didn’t mention that he was inspired by his dad again, lol.
billy crash: this part was like a bit confusing to me cuz i have heard different stories about how he got the role from other sources but it’s good to get some confirmation. pretty akin to what i heard, though. also giggled a bit when he said you don’t change what quentin writes cuz tarantino himself said ‘someone’ wanted to change the ending of django. but y’all didn’t hear that from me, lmao. always love to watch billy crash writhing in pain. :)
chris mannix: also a lot of new info for this one!! although i already knew about all the drama about h8 and the leak and all that, it’s interesting to hear the process the actors went through. would’ve paid millions to hear him do his voice. also why is he gatekeeping info, UGH. all i wanna know is if he had an encounter with tarantino’s punsihment dildo for falling asleep on set. lmfao.
the hero / jay whittle: okay, at first i was kinda pissed that he got a spot instead of venus, but this might’ve been my favorite segment aside from boyd’s. I never really find anything about him talking about his time on set of I’m a virgo so this was such a nice treat. i LOVE how he approaches each one of his characters, it’s so special and is why each one of them are so special and different from any other character you’ve ever seen. the wig story was fucking hilarious and it’s just so sweet how he says let’s figure this person out together. such a wonderful guy. it is SUCH a BEAUTIFUL story with a POWERFUL message and i adore how he recognized that. and the way he described jay? CHEF’S FUCKING KISS. mid-life crisis superhero who behaves like an alcoholic and is incapable of seeing different than his own pov? walt, you’re a fucking genius. his closing statement was absolute beauty.
anyways thanks for reading my ramble.
JUSTICE FOR MY GIRL VENUS

♡Weekly Chronicles♡
December 15,2023
Hey babes! This week was amazing I am so happy I have created this blog I love being a blogger. I've wanted to create one for yearssss but I never got the time to do it and didn't know what to base my blog on. I love seeing other girlies on the same journey of self-improvement<3.
♡Education♡
The semester is officially over for me on Saturday I am so excited I need this break because school in general can be so stressful and I need this time to relax and pour into myself more I'll probably be uploading here more frequently while on break.
♡Mental♡
I started antidepressants a little over a month ago and have been loving my journey on them my mind is clearer and I don't feel that little gray cloud following me anymore. I am present and not constantly worrying about others and things that I can't control. This is my first time using medication to finally have control over my mental health. Other than that my mental health has been so good. If you deal with seasonal depression you got this girl it's tough. Trust me I get it I've dealt with seasonal depression and anxiety for years and my inbox is always open for a chat but I ask before you tell me your problems ask how I'm feeling in the moment <3
♡Physical♡
I have been super consistent with my diet! Eating clean and working out every day I have been lifting 3 times a week. I didn't get to lift today because I am currently at work while typing this lol but I will make up for it by lifting tomorrow. I am currently fasting trying to make up fasts from Ramadan before Ramadan comes around again in March and I'm not going to lieeee it has been helping me look extra snatched now! Like I woke up looking in the mirror like yesss but fasting has so many benefits besides keeping you snatched it helps a lot internally as well. I recently ordered some items for my gut health journey and it's at the post office so I'm going to pick it up tomorrow super excited! This is unrelated but last night I didn't want to get out of bed to do my nightly skincare routine but I forced myself to remember my goals so I'm proud of that.
♡Hobbies♡
I have been consistent with my Italian lessons on Duolingo which I highlyyyy recommend for anyone trying to learn a new language the way its set up is perfect for me with the colors and drawing it feels like a game to me lol. I haven't been reading like I was supposed to I think I only read 2 times this week that’s super baddd I need to stay on top of it. I have been blogging consistently and I love seeing you girlies reflagging and hearting my content it means a lot and I def need to do a Q&A I’ll drop one next week for sure. I want to invest in soap making as a new hobby for me it looks like so much fun!
♡Plans For The Weekend♡
I have a trip coming up next week I'm going to Maryland for a convention with a couple of friends from the 23 to the 27. I am super excited it's going to be so much fun. So this weekend I'm getting a lot of things together. I have to look for a few of my outfits for my trip and I'm waiting for my shoes to come. Also, I have my final this Saturday and an appointment with my OBGYN ladies don’t forget to book appointments for your check-ups your inner health is super important please take care of yourselves!
This was this week's little journal entrieee not that much occurs in my life but I still love the little update I gave you ladiesss. Comment your plans this weekend and how did your week go?

❈ Note : I'm so sorry for taking this long 😭 life was so busy these few weeks
❈ Glossary : (y/n) - your name, (L/n) - last name.
The lab was bustling with people and new recruits today, while you sat behind your desk as you watched your beloved boyfriend get touchy and overly friendly with one of the new member joining in today, temper flowed through your veins as you saw her touching his cheek and they both laughed, having enough you got up, kicking the chair back and walked over to them with new found authority and a glare to his face, you got there just in time to stop her hand from touching his neck as you grabbed her wrist and made it look like you were going for a handshake but held her hand tightly in yours " hello, I'm dr. (Y/n) (L/n), specialist in fauna of pandora, zoologist" you said with a tight lipped smile "i guess you have met my partner dr. Norm spellman, pleasure, i would like to borrow him here, maybe you can talk about your schedule with dr. Max?" You said sternly but with a smile plastered on your face, turning to norm, he knew exactly what was coming for him as he saw your glare and the tightness on your grip on his wrist.
You walked inside your living quarters and locked the door behind you as you pushed him down on the bed, your eyes showcased the fury in your mind "so what was that huh?" You asked straddling his hips a hand going to his neck while pressing him into the mattress, his eyes were wide, he knew what he was doing but he didn't think it would happen so quickly "i- i baby, please" he whispered "it's ma'am for you, now tell me, where else did that slut touched you, hmm?" He gulped hard, his hips shifting to get bit of friction to relieve himself of the tension growing in his pants, you still his moves not giving him any relief just yet "please, I'm sorry ma'am, i was just telling her about the schedule" he whimpered softly, you roll your eyes "oh really? I didn't know our schedule had jokes, so what was the laughing about?" His breathing was uneven and heavy and you started to take his jacket off while still staring at him in the eyes, he knew it was a big mistake to rile you up like this now he had to take whatever that was in store for him.
In no time you were both naked, his cock hot and throbbing for attention but you gave none as you worked on his neck, ignoring his pleas "ma'am- ughh please, I'm- ahh- sorry, I'll be a good boy, please" you ignore him again and suck on his pulse point, hard, and he shuts up immediately, head thrown back at the pleasure, your hands moved down, tracing his chest and stomach, down the v-lines and finally on his painfully erect dick, wrapping your hand around it and you heard his moaned out whimpers while he tried not to buck his hips on your order, "why so eager? You took your time with the girl, now I'll take my time with you" you said with a stern voice, stroking and tugging him agonizingly slow "I'm sorry, i just wanted your attention, please" he said his eyes squeeze shut tightly, face screwed in pleasure, you bucked you hips against his, riling him up now, teasing him endlessly until his whimpers filled the whole room.
You have been ruthless, ignoring him and only doing what you wanted for a long time, toying with him until he was begging you to let him come, still you wanted to teach him a lesson and he was crying tears of frustration by now, to spite him even more you teased your wet and slippery entrance over his mushroom head and he whimpered softly begging you again "I'm sorry for what i did- i promise i won't do it again, I've learnt my lesson, please, let me cum" he choked out as you press your hand against his throat, taking just the head of his awaiting cock inside you as his whimpers fell on deaf ears, still edging him over the abyss of pleasure but pulling him back all over again "Not yet, boy, you have to earn it" you said leaning down near his ear as you whispered "now, watch me" his eyes immediately going to yours as you make him watch while you slid two fingers inside yourself, hitting your sweet spot with each thrust of your fingers, his cock dripping precum in off-white drops, leaking down his shaft, he bit his lip looking at you pleasuring yourself, his cock throbbing from the effort to not cum in the sight in front of him then and then "f- fuck, please, i can't- let me cum please" he begged but you chuckled at his pleas, pulling your fingers out, your juices slipping down on your digits "open your mouth" you said and smirked as he immediately complied, pushing your fingers in his mouth while he was quick to suck and lick them clean, moaning at your taste on his tongue "good boy"
His hands were tied to the bedpost, while you slowly slid down on his dripping member, sucking him inside your pussy with a wet squelch, until he was buried to the hilt, he let out a long sigh at the sensation, squirming but still following your rules to not to buck his hips until you say so, your slow and leasured movements sending him in a frenzy as he did everything in his control to not cum "you can move, pretty boy" you said as you move down to kiss him on the lips, then his jaw, finally getting to his ear as you nibbled on the lobe, his hips immediately bucking against yours as he chased his orgasm "uh uh uh, not so fast, one thrust at a time" you whispered in his ear, pulling him by his hair as your hips stopped moving on him completely, he groaned loudly trying to get as much friction as possible but you pull out all the way, leaving him humping the air with no satisfaction, you kissed and sucked on his neck, leaving many bruised marks behind, he let of a muffled sound at leaving him unattended, he bucked his hips, looking up into your eyes as his cock twitched for attention "please-" he whimpered, you looked down at him, caressing his cheek "please what boy? Use your words" you said smiling down at him, tears of desperation streamed down his face "please, let me cum, please, i promise I'll be good, next time" he panted, chest heaving hard, you smirk "just because you're begging so sweetly– let's get you milked dry, shall we?" You said sinking down on his thick shaft yet again, rolling your hips mercilessly while he was a moaning mess under you, the wet slaps of skin on skin filling the air around you.
Though he was utterly spent you kept you pace as slow as possible, edging him slowly, his toes curling, thighs Spasming for more, just when you know he was going soft, you'd pick up your pace just to take everything away yet again, you grabbed his cheeks in your hand, his mouth opening slightly and you spit right inside "you are mine and you better fucking remember that before you pull another stunt like last one" he nodded hurriedly and swallowed your spit obediently, panting as you started bouncing up and down on his needy cock, this time not stopping with you sensed he was nearing his release, his cock twitching again inside you, your slick gummy walls squeezing him tightly, his tip brushing against your cervix, slamming on your spongy spot repeatedly, making you roll towards your own edge, his wrists red from the straining of the ropes as he thrusted his hips into you, finally with one final thrust and you thrusting back, he spilled his hot white spruts of cum in your soft walls with a loud moan, tugging on the ropes on his wrists for support, you groaned as you came with him, your slick gushing down his length with his cum mixed with it.
You removed the ties of his wrist and he slumped down, you both laid beside each other panting and catching your breath, his cock still deep inside your warm cunt, you leg thrown over his hip for comfort, he pulled you closer to him burying his face in your neck and you chuckle "i guess you learnt your lesson to never make me jealous, huh?" He smiled nervously and nodded in your neck "yeah, i did" he laughed "good boy" you drawled out, caressing his neck while the other hand was in his hair, massaging his scalp slightly, his hands wrapping tightly around your waist, nuzzling his neck in your chest as he sighed, while you're both relaxed from the eventful night, the clock striking 6 in the morning on the table.
A/n : this one took a while to come out but alas I'm done, i don't know if it's 100% good but I'm still practicing smutt🤭

Hello!
Could I join the cocoon game?
Favourite song that inspires you to make scenarios in your head: Love Dive by IVE.
Favourite movie because you can never get over the plot: Knives Out.
Favourite fictional character with the best character development arc: Elle Woods.
Thank you!
W 🎠
(reminder: this is for entertainment purposes only) Hi W,
Thank you so much for participating in
my "COCOON" ask game.
I'll give a listen to that song and I watched Knives out and it's so fun!
Yesss Elle Woods is OG peak character development blueprint!!!
The cards I pulled for you are:
Page of Swords, World, Emperor
Based on the first card, you are called to let go of this hypervigilance to always know everything. I find it interesting that this card got pulled in your reading but the energy feels rather prominent.
It's giving "Look before you leap" gone extreme. You don't do anything and move forward unless you have thoroughly researched every pros, cons, and perspective in this specific endeavor.
It seems that being well-informed gives you so much comfort and security that it's giving the opposite energy of the Fool card in the tarot.
It seems that you are called to try to still move forward as you learn on the job. That you don't have to know everything in order to feel safe to move forward.
It's great that you aspire to be well-informed and prepared, but this tends to lead you to analysis paralysis. No matter how much you research, your progress only starts once you start taking action on your goals in life.
Dreams without actions remain as unfulfilled fantasies.
The second card calls for you to actually complete a task. It seems that you have a goal that you really want to achieve within a certain reasonable time frame. You are asked to let go of this analysis paralysis procrastinating cycle so that you can finally prove to yourself that you are more than capable of achieving your dreams into existence.
With this card, it means that you are called to pave your own path, even if it means separating from the crowd. If your dreams are deemed too big and realistic, you are simply in the wrong crowd. With that, you are encouraged to find like-minded communities that support you and/or are on the same path as you. As such you need to be aware of something crucial, you can take everyone with you as you achieve your dreams.
The reason is, that not everyone is capable of supporting someone they struggle to understand. Your dreams may not make sense to others but by no means, are you to give up on your dreams. They are YOUR DREAMS for a reason, not theirs. And your dreams are valid, even if other people don't get it. Okay?
Finally, the last card is encouraging you to expand your horizons beyond your current lifestyle/systems. As this card usually speaks about stability, discipline, or focus. What you are called to let go is this niched specialist approach in life, in order to open you to new possibilities that you have yet to discover.
This does not mean to abandon your systems, you are simply encouraged to explore potential side quests in your life. Instead of being a specialist way of living, you are suggested to explore and be a generalist and live life as you move through it.
Experiment, explore, and have fun with making mistakes. This was actually a rather unusual message to channel, but it strangely feels right.
Channeled song for you is:
7th random shuffle from my dice throw
Last Intuitive Message to end this reading:
I find channeling this song for you really interesting because this is a song suggested by your Inner Teenager. The neighborhood birds started chirping loudly as I typed that so I'm taking it as a sign of confirmation for you.
It's like your Inner Teenager is asking you to be brave and explore, even if it'll hurt because every life experience you overcome holds gifts of lessons for your personal growth.
True, it's scary to do something even know you're fully aware that you are likely gonna get burned, but it seems that your Inner Teenager is encouraging you to go through it, despite the pain because they really feel called to push you to learn things the hard way.
Now of course, as a disclaimer, don't do anything that would put your life in peril. This is more of (I can't believe I'm actually gonna type this), you are encouraged to F around and find out. I dunno why but it seems that your Inner Teenager has this rebellious streak and that causing me to worry for your safety.
So just, only do these experiments if you are with someone you can truly trust to have your back. Like, don't go to clubs/bars alone. Make sure you have friends who'd help you hold you hair up when you decide to drink more than you usually do.
So just be careful, okay? It's okay to have fun, so just do so with a friend.
You're not required to take everything to heart and just pick and choose which part of the reading resonates with you~
Thank you for taking the time to participate in my new ask game.
Feel free to head back into my ask inbox to send your feedback.
If you want an in-depth extended version of your reading, please head into my Paid Readings and purchase a reading with me.
Want to show me a bit of appreciation other than your feedback, I accept tips in my Buy-Me-A-Coffee link.

11, 39, 60, 72 for the fic ask game!
yesss thanks for asking!! <3
hit me up with these fic writer questions!
11. Link your three favorite fics right now
so hard to answer FR but I'd have to go with
there when the light comes in by shipyrds... a completed timkon roadtrip fic that I haven't stopped thinking about since I read it
and the two fics I'm subscribed to:
buy back the secrets by sundiscus... I've posted about this before and I'll post again!!! Superboy keeps rescuing "random civilian" Tim Drake, and it's incredible
the life that is to be mine by WynterSky... a timkon fic set in the 90s, they're in high school, there's identity shenanigans, it's so god tier
39. Share a snippet from a WIP
oooooh okay here's a scene from a TimKon Secret Santa fic that maybe I'll finish when I'm in the Christmas spirit? haha we'll see
“I thought you were Jewish?”
“I am,” Tim said.
Bart and Kon were sitting on the couch, staring at Tim who was standing in front of their paused video game. Cassie was sitting on the floor with her back against Kon’s legs, scrolling through TikTok with her sound low. San Francisco nights were usually cold, but it was especially chilly in December, and everyone wore cozy, comfortable clothes.
“So, you don’t believe in Santa,” Bart said like he was making a good point.
“Yeah,” Tim said slowly, “like the rest of you, I’d hope.”
Kon and Cassie gave Bart the side eye.
He looked back incredulously.
“Your dad’s an alien, and yours is Zeus. But sure, I’m stupid for believing in Christmas magic.”
“Clark isn’t my dad.”
“My point,” Bart continued, “is that anything is possible, especially at Christmas. That’s eight times as true for Hanukkah.”
“Thanks,” Tim said dryly. “But I thought a Secret Santa could be a good team bonding exercise.”
“Is there a spending limit?” Cassie asked. “Because unless Tim picks me, I think there should be.”
“We don’t need limits,” Kon said.
“Won’t you feel like an asshole if Tim picks Bart and buys him a private island or something?”
“We don’t need limits,” Bart said quickly, now fully on board with the Secret Santa idea.
“I would never buy someone a private island,” Tim said, putting the matter to rest. “Land is a high maintenance investment."
60. Have you had a writer you admire comment on your fic? What was that like?
YES when Sundiscus commented on my fic and became a mutual 😭 Like... surreal. It's similar to how I imagine it feels publishing an original book and getting like Rick Riordan to write a blurb for the cover
72. What order do you write in? front of book to back? chronological? favorite scenes first? something else?
I usually think of the beginning and final scenes first, but I like to write in chronological order. Although, if I'm struggling with a scene I'll just stop and move onto the next one, and then write the filler in-between stuff later.
This was so fun!! Thanks again :) <3

reading the post-vulgate, part 1 (the merlin continuation)
"The eldest was called Gawain, the second Gaheriet, the third Agravain, and the fourth Guerrehet" no fucking way they're in a different order again. When will it end
if Merlin knows everything that will happen, why does he go on about how he won't tell Arthur who the knight destined to destroy the kingdom is because he doesn't want to kill a child? A lot more children are going to die because this bitch is refusing to be specific
finally Yvain is Morgan's son again, this was Bothering me
Mordred hit his head as an infant so hard that the scar remained for all his life. This is potential for his brothers making jokes in the vein of "and that's why he is like that" later
in this version, the father of Sagremor the Unruly is also called the Unruly, making it their surname, I guess, which is funny, even though at a later point in Chapter 59 the narrator changes his mind and says that it was Kay who gave Sagremor this nickname
big fan of the fact that Mordred and Sagremor are raised together - there's something cute about a doomed-by-the-narrative goth and a reckless fun guy being childhood friends. And then one of them kills the other :)))
oh, the May babies are rescued in this one! Nice
brief glimpses of some fairy drama as the lady who was girded with the sword that Balin could remove "owed allegiance to the lady called the Lady of the Isle of Avalon" and the one that wanted her killed for killing her father was the one that helped Arthur take Excalibur from the hand in the lake
"In this place will meet in battle the two most faithful lovers of their time" sounds like Lancelot and Tristan will be each other's lovers and the battle in question will be their meet-cute
"For [King Lot] is the one in my land in whom I would have trusted most in great need, and for whom I would have done most" buddy, you slept with his wife.
Gawain is eleven years old when he swears to kill Pellinor for killing his father! And the adults at the funeral praise him for such noble intentions! God!!!
yesss this version supports my headcanon that Yvain's animal-befriending powers are a result of Morgan experimenting with various magic while she was pregnant with him
seriously, would everything that eventually happens had ever happened if Merlin wasn't walking around telling people "you will kill him, and you will kill him, and one of these two boys you're raising will kill the other", thus making everyone think it's inevitable?
you know what would've made reading this easier and more enjoyable? If I cared about Balin
according to this one, there should be 150 Knights of the Round Table
I like that Guinevere is being referred to as "valiant"
"for no adventure that may happen, unless mortal peril is to come of it, may a knight who is sitting at table stir before he has eaten" is a good custom, more contemporary jobs should follow it
Tor's mom is great (loved it when she rebuked Merlin and everyone laughed) and I can't wait for Gawain to kill Pellinor
Kay being described as "a good enough knight, but not as good as the others" lmao
my brain refuses to perceive young Bademagu. This is a middle-aged man with (at least?) two adult children
“Now come forward and see a king’s daughter wield a sword” is one hell of a line
yelling @ the maiden/mother/crone ladies making fun of Gawain being short
I imagine Gaheris here speaking in a very patient voice that simultaneously verges on hysterics because he's so fucking exasperated
I thought this text might change my opinion on Gaheris for the better, but then the matricide part came, with "But it was his opinion that the lady should be blamed and humiliated" and "Then he put his hand on his sword and wished to kill his mother, but he would leave the knight, because he seemed too handsome and valiant, and he was disarmed", and nope, still hate that guy
like what the fuck is WRONG with you!!!
oh I am seething right now
"for they were tired, although they had not yet done anything" meeee

So I read the first book in the Percy Jackson series ‘The Lightning Thief’ a few months ago, and then I realised there was a musical after randomly coming across ‘The Campfire Song’ in a Greek Mythology song playlist on yt. So I finally listened to 'The Lightning Thief' musical! Yay! And now I have way too much in my head, and now I’m shoving it all onto the internet! Be warned, this isn’t really ordered or even coherent :)
I'm too used to Hamilton and Epic lol, I kept getting surprised when there were time skips between songs. Only 19 songs instead of 40? Skipping or compacting battle scenes? Actual spoken lines most of the time? Wow.
I really like 'Prologue/The Day I Got Expelled', 'Another Terrible Day', Percy's part in 'Their Sign', 'Put You In Your Place', 'The Campfire Song', 'Good Kid', 'Lost!', 'Drive,' 'The Tree on the Hill', 'The Last Day of Summer', 'Bring on the Monsters'. So most of them lol.
Tho my favs 5 are probs 'Prologue/The Day I Got Expelled', 'The Campfire Song', 'Good Kid', 'The Tree on the Hill', 'The Last Day of Summer'.
I love Percy. He's so sassy bitter exasperated done with all this shit XD. I almost like him better than in the book lol.
Also Luke. I actually sympathised with him a lot. Probably because the resigned bitterness all the half-bloods feel about their parents is emphasised a lot more in the songs, at least to me.
Kinda a play by play of my reactions?:
L: The gods are real. Like the Greek gods.
A: Like the ones you learned about but weren't paying attention to.
L, A: Well, they don't pay attention to you, either.
All: Especially if you're their kid.
[… that’s rough buddy]
All: *bitterly carefree* Yeah, the gods are real. And they have kids. And those kids have ISSUES!
[mood]
P: Look! … I didn't wanna be a half-blood.
[Yesss! It’s actually happening omg. Also his VA is amazing]
P: And, honestly, I'd be totally be fine if I could make it to the next grade!
[someone give this kid a hug plz]
P: It wasn't dirty socks or my stepdad. It was danger that I smelled.
[pffft he really just did Gabe like that lmao]
P: *sarcastic* Maybe you don't know what a half-blood is because your life is normal and happy and not constantly in danger-
P: That's when this story should probably start. We were geeking out on ancient Greek at the New York Metropolitan Museum Of Art.
[honestly just impressed they managed to make this long ass title rhyme and fit the beat]
Ch: Anyone? Any student?
[lol, yeah no kid wants to bring attention to themselves like that]
P: My best friend was acting strange, at which he so excelled.
[damn Percy’s kinda savage]
P: Grover, you're a good friend.
G: Awww… *amused pity* Dude. I'm your only friend.
[bro Grover is even more savage!]
All: The day it all went down!
P: I saw something odd in Mrs Dodds’ frown.
All: The day it all got weird.
P: The day I got expelled!
[the sudden switch to just saying ‘yeah shit got weird’ is hilarious]
MD: I have heard much about you, Percy Jackson.
P: *vaguely impressed, dry* Really? That's very dedicated for a substitute.
[lmao]
MD: Kicked out of five schools in six years. One might question your parentage.
P: *mutter, protective* Hey, don't talk about my mom-
MD: *smug* And your father? That's right… You don't know who he is! *starts laughing maniacally*
P: *defensive, wary, demand* What's this about anyway?
[I just love his vocal delivery on those lines. He’s a total mama’s boy, for good reason, Sally’s awesome. But also, yeah, I’d be freaked out too if my teacher isolated my from the group and then started talking this shit]
P: *tentative, freaked out* Um… I didn't know what just had happened. Was that all a creepy, crazy dream? *incredulous, questioning his own sanity* My teacher was a creature, then she vanished in the ether with a demon scream.
P: The day I got- Expelled?!
[oof.]
P: *bitter, hurt, resigned* You think I’m trouble, just like everyone else.
[oof the way his voice is just so resigned, like he’s used to this, which he is. And Chiron, you’re not helping. God, this kid needs competent adults in his life]
S: He warned me that things might be hard if… you were like him.
P: *sarcastic, harsh, bitter* Was he a screw up too? *tired, shame, resigned* Sorry, mom. If I was only- normal.
[no Percy that’s not what she means! Don’t call yourself a screw-up :( ]
P: *vacant, pleasant* This is weird. *bland* Oh look, a strange man in a Hawaiian shirt.
Poseidon: *in THE goofiest voice ever* "What belongs to the sea can always return to the sea." It's a seashell.
P: *mild, moving on* … Like I said. Weird.
[HAHAHA]
D: *sarcastic, grimace* Oh, you're alive. I suppose that's good news for you, but it means a lot more paperwork for me. So don't expect me to be happy to see you.
D: *grumble, pissed, sarcastic* Great! You haven't been debriefed. This is way out of my pay grade. Which is saying a lot, 'cause I don't get paid!
[average teacher’s salary smh]
D: *snarl, irritable* Someone find Professor Hay-For-Breath and tell him Peter Johnson is awake, so he better clip-clop over here!
P: *unimpressed* It's Percy Jackson.
D: *can’t care in the least, snaps* Whatever!
D: *throws up hands, done* Does no one watch the orientation film?
D: To tell you the truth? The best thing is to *aggressive table banging* BREAK UP WITH THE GUY!
[I am cackling rn]
D: *loudly and musically complaining about how much his job sucks*
P: *in complete confusion* Mr. Brunner! You’re a horse?! WHAT IS HAPPENING??
P: *bitter, pissed* My mom raised me all on her lonesome. When I would reach out, no one else would be there! *incensed* Well I want my birthday cards and fishing trips! Child support and homework tips!
[Poseidon! Pay 👏 your 👏 child support 👏]
P: *gritted teeth, holding back tears* So- So who is he?
[SOMEONE GIVE HIM A HUG RIGHT NOW-]
L: *dry, bitter jazz hands* Welcome to the dysfunctional family.
[I know Luke’s technically the bad guy, but let’s be real. He’s cool]
C: You're gonna drown, you ain't gonna float!
|
C: Don't mean to boast, don’t mean to brag!
[I adore those high notes on ‘drown’ and ‘don’t’. Actually. Just- all of Clarisse and Annabeth’s high notes and slides are incredible]
[yo, 'Put You In Your Place' kinda sounds like 'Do What you Gotta Do' from Descendants 3. And I love that.]
A: *bright* Go to the boys bathroom!
P: *raised eyebrow* And…?
A: *questioning Percy’s intelligence* Stay there? *the ‘duh’ is implied* It’s your first day. We don’t want you messing this up.
P: *rocks on his heels, mild* Okay. Just stay here. Just stay in the bathroom, and stay out of-
C: *teleports behind him, smug sneer* Trouble? Ha!
C: Maybe the minotaur died from a case of laughing too hard from seeing your stupid face!
[that burn tho]
L: *wry* Offering to the gods. *rolls eyes, sardonic* It's not enough that they're omnipotent and all-powerful, they need to feel appreciated. *raises glass, dry* To the gods.
All: *lacklustre, cynical* To the gods!
P: *curious, cheery* Chiron! Who’s your dad?
Ch: *delicate* Oh! Well. My father is Kronos. *pause* Remember my lecture. He ate his children.
*awkward silence*
L: *winces* … Chiron wins.
*unanimous agreement*
P: Oh, no no no! If I try to sing, it’ll probably cause an avalanche.
[haha get it? ‘Cause Poseidon’s the Earthshaker? Anyone?]
P: *soft* My mum was named Sally. She loved scary movies.
[was. WAS. I’m crying]
P: Did he not want me? Or not want the stress? Too bad he's the worst, and my life is a mess! Oh no… *grins sharply, starts getting into it* I hope he shows even a trace, ‘CAUSE I’VE GOT SOME CHOICE WORDS to throw in his face!
All: *cheer*
[hell yes! Tell him Percy!]
P: *frustrated, bitter* I try, I try to be a good kid! A good kid! *tired, resigned* A good son.
[noooo 😭]
P: *pleading, defensive* I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid! (Scoff) *dismissive, resigned* Yeah, Percy, that's a good one.
[Nooo Percy! You are a good kid!! Stop talking down on yourself like this-]
P: *furious, bitter* And no friends! And no hope! And no mom- *broken* She's taken away.
[whyyyyy]
P: Yeah, I'll do it. Not 'cause my dad needs me - he's been less a dad and more absentee.
[preach Percy!]
P: *triumphant* We're gonna march straight down to the gates of hell!
L: *interjects, nerd emoji* Underworld.
P: *waves off* Close enough.
P: *serious wtf energy* Guys. We just exploded a bus.
A: *casual* Yep.
P: *nah yall don’t get it* That was being attacked by demon triplet math teachers!
A: *unconcerned* Oh yeah.
P: *disbelief, dead eyed* Is the whole trip going to be like this??
G: *vacant, panicking* All our food was in there. All our clothes were in there. All our food was in there!
A: *umm…* Take that bus to Los Angeles.
P: *deadpan* We're not on the bus.
A: *rolls eyes* I know.
G: *blank* To Los Angeles.
P: *sarcastic, incredulous* We blew up the bus.
A: *exasperated* I know!
G: *having a minor breakdown* To Los Angeles.
P: So what are we supposed to do??
A: *shrugs* Wait for another bus?
P: *throws up hands* What if we blow up that one too?!
G: *anxious* It’s not safe to stay out here in the open, when Monsters are trying to eat us alive!
P: *sardonic, exasperated* How do they know where we are, when we don’t even know?
P: *sarcastic* Fantastic, gang. Well, I don’t wanna die in the Garden State!
[Grover talking to the squirrel like Aang talking to Momo is killing me.]
Squirrel: *helpfully* You’re all screwed.
G: *brightly* Thanks, buddy!
S: *cheery* Welcome!
*ominous thunder*
P: *strained* I think the gods are trying to tell me they hate me!
A: *dry* I’m getting that too.
P: *quiet, tense* Hungry monsters on the ground.
A: *soft, scared* Angry gods are in the sky.
G: *despairing* No safe places to be found.
P, A, G: *helpless* Wanna run. Wanna cry.
P: *exhausted, grieving* Can't go back to any home.
A: *anxious* Camp is way too far away.
G: *hopeless* Can't protect my only friends.
P, A, G: No place to go. No place to stay!
[no bbys it’s gonna be ok! Just wait a few more, uhhh, books?]
P, A, G: We're lost in the world, and the world is freaking awful!
[truths]
P, A, G: *wild eyed* Who put the fate of the world in the hands of three unprepared scared half-bloods? It's crazy!
[^ this. Someone get an actual responsible adult on the phone]
A: *fierce, stubborn* But I promise you, I'll never be invisible again! Someone will notice! *quiet, longing* … Me.
[come on. Get these kids someone who loves them already!]
[Grover just being the best optimistic hype man in ‘Drive’]
G: *warm* ‘Cause people are counting on us, and I'm counting on you!
[awww]
P: If you hadn't bought all those dam snacks–
G: Uh, it was the Hoover Dam, and I was hungry!
[that dam joke lmfao]
A: *gives him a Look, once again questioning his intelligence* You're joking, right? In The Odyssey, if you went to sleep in a lotus bed, one night could last one hundred years!
P: *waves Annabeth off* I'm sure that's irrelevant. Um, excuse me miss, how long have you been at this hotel?
B: *cheery* Why, my brother and I arrived just yesterday: May 1st… 1939!
P: *pasted on smile* Uh, we can sleep on the road.
P: *bright* Oh look, a bus to Los Angeles!
A: *sceptical* Are you sure that's a good idea?
P: *reasonable* This one we just won't blow up!
G: Ha!
G: Ask Annabeth, she knows.
[Grover proceeds to tell the whole story himself]
P: *thrown* But- I thought I was the only kid of the Big Three gods.
G: *ominous, tired* You are now.
G: *grieving, raging* And maybe if I’d been a little bit braver! Maybe if I’d stayed behind to fight! But ‘maybe’ doesn't let me go back and save her… ‘Maybe’ doesn't make it alright.
|
G: *quiet* And it’s there reminding me of all I failed to be…
[crying]
[y’know, Charon being voiced by a woman kinda reminds me of Hades in ‘Ulysses Dies at Dawn’]
Charon: Who has two turntables and three sick heads? Everybody give it up for D.J. Cerberus!
[omg this is so funny for some reason]
Charon: *to Percy* You ain't ever gonna save what matters! *to Grover* You ain't gonna protect your friends! *to Annabeth* You ain't ever gonna be remembered!
[The callbacks are so good!!]
P: *resigned* Seems my good intentions, always crash and burn. *helplessly frustrated* Everything I try to do will fail! Never once will I prevail! Going wrong at every turn…
[the way it’s set to the melody in ‘Good Kid’ is heartbreaking]
Hades: *throws up hands* Oh, come on!
[lol]
P: So this could be the end, but I ain't sad. 'Cause you're the two best friends this screw-up ever had.
[happy crying because he has friends, and sad crying because he’s still calling himself a screw-up]
Ares: I’ll put you in your place!
[like daughter, like father]
P: *firm, eyes blazing* I'm the Son of Poseidon. I never asked to be. But I'm the son of Poseidon! Now face the tide inside me!
[screaming yes Percy kick his ass!!]
P: *quiet* Stay or go. Pick one.
[I just love how he sings that sm]
D: *growl, done with life* Attention, campers. It's the last day of summer. If you intend to make me miserable year-round, please inform us by sundown. Otherwise, the cleaning harpies will eat anyone who remains! Perry Johanssen, this means you.
P: *rolls eyes* It's Percy. Jackson.
D: *snap* Whatever!
A: *bitter, casual* My dad couldn't deal with the monster attacks, and my stepmom couldn't deal with me.
[nooo someone give her a hug]
[the way the music becomes discordant and not quite right, with minor chords and dark piano when Luke pulls Percy aside is such cool foreshadowing]
L: *bitter, dark, disillusioned* My quest was supposed to be the biggest thing in my life. I came back changed. But the rest of camp was exactly the same.
P: *numb realisation* … You’re the Lightning thief.
L: *simple, apologetic* The Oracle warned you. "Betrayed by a friend."
P: *horrified, disbelief, hoarse* … You set me up. *furious, disgust* You were trying to free Kronos! WHY?
L: *strained, earnest* He promised me the power to defeat our parents!
P: *furious, disbelief, bared teeth* Yeah? He's using you! To get back at the gods!
L: *honestly can’t care anymore, running on anxiety and spite* Good.
L: *empty, helplessly raging, hopeless* I’ve been here since I was a kid! I did everything they ever asked, yeah I did. And for what?
[bro why does everyone in this thing need a hug? They’re all just traumatised kids whyyyy]
L: *quiet, desperate, resolved* So I’ll do anything. I don’t care if I hurt anyone.
[the way you can hear in his voice how much he does care, because that’s exactly why he’s doing all this. AHHH-]
L: *bitter, broken, ragged* It doesn't pay to be a good kid. A good kid. A good son.
[screaming, crying, throwing up]
G: *longsuffering* Are we ever gonna once have it easy?
P: *bright* Nope!
P: Don't feel bad 'cause we're usually about to die :D
[ah yes, gallows humour]
S: They’re breaking your heart? Then try to hear it pound!
[I love her VA. She’s beautiful]
C: They'll put us in a box, but we won't be contained!
[yess Clarisse!]
P: 'Cause the sea doesn't like to be restrained!
[he said the thing!]
All: I'll make mistakes, but my own, and it frees me!
[for some reason, I just really love this line]
[that whole last part where they’re all overlapping is godly]
Damn that got long, but uh. That’s... probably all for now. So. Yeah.

Noah is dead, clearly nothing can get worse than this (final raven boys live-blog post :D)
Llama reads TRC: Chapters 31-48 of The Raven Boys
Chapter 31
Ronan is grieving for Noah :(
DECLAN?
Ronan bestie please don’t be drinking all alone in your room <3
He’s getting kicked out D:
“Then you’ve killed him” ok ik Ronan’s home life is kinda awful but why is everyone so sure he’s gonna die? I feel like I’m missing something here
Gansey !!
Why do they have so many cars what
Gansey using his rich people superpowers to keep Ronan in school
OHHH SLEEPWALKING.
Ok either it was MENTIONED before that Ronan sleepwalks and I completely missed it or I’m just dumb
Is that why they keep thinking he’s gonna die
Gansey shoving his credit cards everywhere is so real though
Gansey stop taking so much responsibility for your friends challenge !! Impossible apparently!! This boy is so sad pls Gansey not everything is up to you stop carrying the weight of the world you’re literally a teenager
Chapter 32
“And Noah’s dead. But Parrish is here.” Waiting for the day that they eventually get used to Noah being dead and start joking about it
Every time Adam mentions his home life I want to grab him and run very very far away
Uh oh
Don’t kiss pls that would not end well I think
“She felt like she’d done so much work to appear as eccentric as possible and still, when it came down to it, she was sensible.” I’m not good at words but this sentence. Oh this sentence. It makes me sad in a way I can’t describe.
CHAINSAW!!
Ronan and Chainsaw are the best duo actually
Ronan looks so happy when holding Chainsaw :(
Wait, ok. I’ve heard about Ronan being able to dream things into existence (it’s one of the things I got spoiled on) so I’m wondering, did he get Chainsaw from his dreams?
NOAH
NOAH MY BOY
“I was…more…when I was alive.” WHAT IF I CRIED
“You’re enough now. I missed you.” THEYRE BEST FRIENDS ACTUALLY IDC IDC
Whatever you do don’t imagine Noah braiding Blue’s hair <- sobbing
“And he’s about to be a were, too” DAMN??
“Noah, please don’t die for real” ouch ok I’m completely normal about this actually mhm
I WAS RIGHT!! HES CONNECTED TO GANSEY’S INCIDENT WITH HORNETS
THE DUDE WHO SACRIFICED HIM WAS WHELK WASNT IT
Noah is so sad I’m gonna cry
“But you already know.” OH???

Someone called Neeve to find the ley line,,,it was Whelk wasn’t it,,,
UH OH THEYRE BACK
Chapter 35
Adam making tea :D
Ok so now everything’s in order, things are starting to come together. This can only end in two ways
Oh? The ley line will be woken up soon
DO NOT CALL THE POLICE
Big things are happening and I am NOT scared (lie)
Chapter 36 (TW: Abuse for this chapter, stay safe)
Adam not wanting to leave the car :( Don’t go in Adam just leave pls
“Loser” You’re so right, Ronan
Oh God Adam’s dad is awful

ADAM??
RONAN
GET HIM RONAN
What did he do to his ear oh my god
Adam pls
“Can I…can I press charges?” YESSS ADAM MY BOY
Chapter 37
Ew whelk chapter
Ok either Neeve is actually gonna help him or she’s planning to trick him
I’m hoping on the latter
Chapter 38
Adam’s ok :D
His ear is screwed up though :(
“You win,” Adam pls it’s not like that :(
These boys are so sad
I get why Adam wants to do something on his own terms but he also doesn’t have to endure all this abuse because of it :(((
WHAT THE HELL GANSEY
BRO???
GANSEY
Gansey you could have said *literally* anything else
Adam :((((
Screw Adam’s mother too she sucks !!!
Chapter 39
NOAHHH
Adam didn’t want Blue to know about his family life I FEEL ILL
Call from Malory!
“Jane” PFFFFT
I’m sorry what
HIS SKIN FELL OFF? What in the magnus archives—
“My words are unerring tools of destruction, and I’ve come unequipped with the ability to disarm them.” 😭??
“What a fine contribution to the world I am.” Gansey :(
Yes Blue you should spit in Gansey’s eye, it would be funny
Adam pls you could get hurt
Guys pls
Chapter 40
Ok yeah Neeve was definitely lying
Oh. She kidnapped him. Kinda slay of her tbh
“Also, Neeve hadn’t tied tightly enough.” Uh oh 😀

White horned beasts 😭?? Literally what is happening
Are they unicorns though this is important 👀
Oop they’re in the vision tree

Gansey actually saw the same vision this time omg
Personally I think that it’s a good thing that Whelk is dead. That’s just me though personally I think it’s incredibly beneficial actually
THE TREES
GLENDOWER??
Chapter 48
Is this an epilogue??
It seems like it
Ok so Neeve just straight up despawned bc of the mirrors
Noah :( he probably misses his family so badly :(((
“He’s sorry for drinking your birthday schnapps” what if I cried
OH THEY DUG HIM UP
NOAHHH MY BOY HES BACK
Ronan?
“I guess now would be a good time to tell you, I took Chainsaw out of my dreams.” I WAS RIGHT!!!
BUT WHY ARE YOU ONLY MENTIONING THIS NOW
Good God. I have so many thoughts. This book was so fun to read I can’t wait for the next ones :D !! I’m gonna take a bit of a break before I read the next one though. Just a heads up, I probably won’t live-blog the next books like I did with this one, but I will post my thoughts occasionally (just not as much). Anyways, Live Laugh Love Noah Czerny🙏

I hope I have appeased whatever ocean spirit possessed me this summer. Here is the final list of everything I read/watched/listened to/played/etc over the last several months while my entire personality became about the ocean. (Almost - planning on watching Deep Star Six (1989) after I finish writing this post and making dinner!)
The Deep, Nick Cutter | Our Wives Under the Sea, Julia Armfield | “Fear of Depths” + “Fear of Big Things Underwater”, Jacob Geller | Into the Drowning Deep, Mira Grant | Underwater (2020) | r/thalassophobia + r/submechanophobia | The Deep House (2021) | 47 Meters Down (2017) + 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019) | The Toilers of the Sea, Victor Hugo (trans. James Hogarth) | Dark Water, Koji Suzuki (trans. Glynne Walley) | “Fear of the Deep”, Nexpo | Sea Fever (2019) | The Abyss (1989) | Open Water (2003) | From Below, Darcy Coates | Love, Death + Robots, “Bad Traveling” | “The Fog Horn”, Ray Bradbury + “A Descent into the Maelstrom”, Edgar Allen Poe (collected in Stories of the Sea ed. Diana Secker Tesdell) | Subnautica (2018) | Breaking Surface (2020) | They Came From the Ocean, Boris Bacic | The Cave (2005) | Sphere, Michael Crichton + its 1997 adaptation | “Thalassophobia”, Solar Sands | Whalefall, Daniel Kraus | Sanctum (2011) | The Rift (1990) | Leviathan (1989) | Sand, Salt, Blood: An Anthology of Sea Horror, ed. Elle Turpitt | 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne (trans. Mendor T. Brunetti) | Moby-Dick, Herman Melville
So that's 12 books (including 2 anthologies), 13 films, 4 video essays, 2 short stories, 2 subreddits, 1 game, and 1 TV episode.
Top 5 (in no particular order)
Our Wives Under the Sea, Julia Armfield -- beautiful, both in the descriptions of the deep sea and in its depictions of grief. Florence Welch blurbed it and Florence + the Machine takes 3 spots on the playlist so this definitely set the vibes of the summer.
Whalefall, Daniel Kraus -- reminded me of NOPE (2022) and that's a high compliment. It's also about grief but the kind of grief where there should have been a reckoning, and you'll never get that closure. Truly excellent, honestly I still have the library book because I'm not ready to give it back.
Sea Fever (2019) -- obviously owes a lot of its plot to the 1989 slate of ocean horror films coming out that were in imitation of Alien (1979) and attempting to preempt James Cameron's The Abyss (1989), in that it's about a creature from the deep that possesses the crew of a fishing trawler off the west coast of Ireland...but a moody atmosphere, gorgeous cinematography, and mythological inspiration just makes this a good watch.
"Fear of Depths", Jacob Geller -- honestly all the youtube videos on this list are worth it but I'm highlighting this one because I just love it when youtubers go on field trips. Like yes Jacob go stand in that cave and read your script for our entertainment and edification, yesss
The Toilers of the Sea, Victor Hugo -- ok the thing about Hugo is that his novels often carry social messaging - about poverty, class, the nature of justice, investment in cultural hegemony - and Toilers' thematic messaging is just: what the fuck are you doing in the ocean why are you going in there, don't you see how fucked up the ocean is, leave it alone- (...perhaps a more relevant text for billionaires than Les Misérables? XD) Ok, I'm mostly kidding but truly his depictions of the sea are some of my favorite bits of Hugo prose, I really think this book is underrated in the anglophone world.
Please feel free to ask me for more reviews of the other works on the list and I can give more thoughts! For now I'll just say that I had a lot of fun with the cheesy 80s/90s movies (the later ones don't quite carry the same charm but were still pretty fun even if they weren't 'good'), the books are pretty solid with the exception of They Came From the Ocean by Boris Bacic, which is my only 'do not recommend' on the list. (It wasn't well written, didn't use the setting very effectively, and got weirdly homophobic towards the end in a way that was impossible to tease out from a character decision and made me feel kind of weird?) There is also a smaller, slightly less cohesive list for the second part of this series but it gives away the thematic shift so I'll stick to ocean horror for now. This was an interesting summer. I guess I should probably...read something other than ocean horror now. XD

Bonus:
Books on (or…near in one case) the beach
