#i literally had to groom it with a pet brush

[gamebunny-advance]

Ah.

I do have 1 "in progress" photo, which I took to sketch the face out for the poll.

I think at this point of the process, all of his clothes were sewn, but I still needed to make the head accessories and paint the details.

His face is looking kinda lumpy because he was originally stuffed with foam pieces, but I decided to swap out the filling near the end for some proper poly-fil fluff.

NSFW Alphabet

Thanks for the tags @bardic-inspo and @nyx-knox ❤️❤️

Tagging (I totally forgot to do earlier!): @astarionancuntnin @marlowethebard @bellasmumblingsandmusings @lets-just-daydream @charmandabear

@marimosalad and I both collaborated on our answers 🤭

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

They stay dirty for a while… lots of licking each other clean 😉😏

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Cordy— his eyes. AA—her hair… her tits… and her thighs that could crush his skull

C = Cum (where does your muse prefer to cum/have someone cum)

Inside. Always.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

As Elves in the Yuirwood, once they started physical intimacy, they couldn’t stop. They were relentless in sneaking off to explore each other in the woods… or their homes, sneaking in and out at night. Secretly, the first oral sex Astarion received was in his parents’ receiving hall… in his father’s throne. 😏

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

As young elves, they were each other’s ’firsts:’ kiss, hand job, oral, penetration… Once Astarion left for his studies and ‘died,’ Cordehlia took no other lovers, turning her love/lust for her betrothed into just war forged bloodlust.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Anything face to face.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Intense, but that’s not to say humorless. They tease and call pet names and taunt to control orgasms… but they also have known each other for centuries. The smallest thing from their childhood memories might make them dissolve into giggles. (And Astarion’s laugh is definitely higher pitched!)

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

As two High Elves, neither of them have body hair. Astarion cares way more about his head of hair than she does. Cordehlia would rather chop it off for battle… but Astarion loves it long, so she brushes it and braids it for him. The longer it is, the easier it is for him to yank when they get… playful.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

As Elves, they were intense… as Vampires they are feral. They love to feel each other’s sensations through their mind bond. Having been together for decades before, they know one another’s bodies by heart

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

So, in “Our Blood” canonically, Astarion jacks off to a poster of Cordehlia, not realizing it’s her due to his memory loss. For Cordehlia, it was all she had until the “Tiefling Party”

Astarion jacking off to Cordehlia bathing in the river is teeeeeechnically why they got engaged. Whether Astarion meant to get caught is a different question!

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

They switch Dom/sub, especially in private. Outwardly, Cordehlia is fiercely loyal, protective, and mostly submissive. In private or in front of those that are closest to them, she calls him out on all his bullshit, taunts him, calls him names… and he likes it.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Literally anywhere, any surface. But they feel the most fulfilled doing it in the forest under the stars. Like their first time.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

They each have “The Look” ™. That one that they flash to the other in public or private and it’s fucking within minutes.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Pet play. They will wear a collar, but only for a while and only as a toy. They share power too equally and take turns being the dominant too much for actual pet play.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Yes. Anytime. All the time. Anywhere.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Depends on the mood or situation leading into the intimacy. Also on the amount of blood one or the other or both consumed.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

They love impulsive sex. Astarion is a little bit better about keeping things discreet. When she’s in a particular mood, she’ll make it no secret that she wants Astarion right there, right now

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Sometimes. Both of their past traumas haunt them from time to time (Astarion’s sexual trauma, and Cordy’s trauma of seeing Astarion with someone else) so they are still guarded in some ways; for now, they are mostly content with doing things they know they love.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

With their combined Vampiric strength, they can basically keep going forever until they get bored. Just two vampires doing vampire things.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Not really, their fangs and fingers and sexes are good almost all the time. They’ve been known to experiment a little with a well timed Mage Hand or an Enlarge spell.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Teasing has been their love language since they were kids. They are just really immature together and they bring that energy to bed

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

They can be really fucking loud together. Like a competition. She likes to make noises to spur him on. They are no longer two little elves sneaking in the forest get laid. As full vampires, during their more feral couplings, she grunts and growls until she gets her way.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Astarion loves being the one to take her out of her armor. He spoils her by buying new armor and weapons every chance he gets. He has them all engraved with ravens and feathers; little elvish phrases woven in the details. But when she’s back from fighting, he’s the one that removes her armor piece by piece and worships her for the fierce warrior queen she is.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Slender and elegant as a High Elf, but she got a rounded butt. Muscular and curvy, and big tits, but they’re usually wrapped really tight under her armor so you don’t see how curvy she actually is until she takes everything off.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Since reconnecting with Astarion – off the charts. Her lust and bloodlust are basically interchangeable.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

She doesn’t. She’ll take a short break, then get up to go polish her blades in the middle of the night, or take a solitary bath to freshen up. Then she’ll go back into bed to cuddle for a bit, trance for 20 minutes, and be good to go for the next day

Both my cats are shorthairs but lately taro has had way worse matting on her back where she either isn't grooming or not grooming well, so i went out and got a better brush and some pet wipes for her to help, and i literally brushed like so much fur off her and went thru the fine mattings she wasn't getting out, her coat feels much better now. my other cat doesn't need any help w her grooming bc taro grooms her, but she never grooms taro :(

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

AITA For basically giving up on my cat?

It's been a few years and I actually have gotten minor trauma from this event. But when I graduated high school my dad came back one day with a gift for me: a little kitten. I loved him so much he became my emotional support animal and he naturally would help me come down from psychosis episodes and anxiety/panic attacks. He was my life. A few years ago, my mom moved out of our apartment and displaced me and my partner. We were technically homeless. My grandmother pushed me into staying with her and my partner stayed with his family. I had 2 cats at the time (one elderly and one my esa) but My grandmother hates cats and said she'd kill them if I brought them with me. So they went with my partner. Then my partners family became homeless after they got evicted because the new landlord wanted new tenants. They didn't do anything wrong, he literally just said, "I want to see new faces and start fresh" so he kicked them out. So I asked a friend of my mom if she could watch my cats. She said yes, but my esa didn't get along with her other cat, so she asked a neighbor to watch him while I figured out something. Two of my friends were moving in together and said, "hey we can take your cats with us that way they have a place to stay where you can see them whenever you want" cuz we literally have a key to their apartment and are allowed to go over whenever for whatever reason. So I talked to my mom's friend and she said "yeah you can take your (elderly) cat back" and no problem. Then she had me message her neighbor to get my ESA back. The neighbor said "no. I found some knots and mats in his fur, which means you're clearly neglecting him so I gave him to my grandson. If you try and take the cat back I'm calling the ASPCA and you'll never be allowed to have a pet ever again". Prior to him going over to there, I had previously actually shaved/trimmed him so I KNOW he didn't have knots/mats. If he did it was because SHE neglected him when he was in her care. Despite the fact that I gave her his entire grooming kit. I even told her, "he's a longhair you need to brush him every day and every few weeks you need to trim him" and she agreed to it. Clearly she never did it and blamed me instead. She said, "it's better he's with my grandson because my grandson is blind and ACTUALLY needs an ESA. you don't need an esa Just because you have anxiety". Readers, I have schizophrenia, autism, and adhd. Diagnosed. My doctor has my cat ON FILE as my ESA. I was at my two younger brothers birthday party, crying my eyes out. But to this day, I keep feeling this absolute guilt that I'm an awful person for not fighting to get my cat back. Last year that same lady texted me telling me I was a horrible pet owner for not even asking how he was doing and just giving up on him. I told her to never contact me ever again. I just thought what's the point? We're getting our own apartment soon but we were homeless for so long that at this point I feel like he probably has a better life now without me. But her saying I was an asshole for not fighting for him makes me cry at night still. I feel like a bad person. AITA?

What are these acronyms?

[bohemian-nights]

Maester Norren's claims about how Daemon "doted" on Nettles to me just sounds like Daemon reminding Nettles to take care of herself especially the part about brushing her hair and dressing. On a shallow level it might look like that is what Daemon is doing but it could honestly be misinterpreted since they refuse to see Daemon actually being in love with Nettles because he's obviously married and because of his past. Nettles isn't incapable of taking care of herself, she's VERY capable but living when living on the streets your whole life vanity is at the bottom on the list of things to tale care of, once you have a decent clothes on your back enough to cover you and get you through then you're good so of course Nettles can be forgetful that she now has the resources to take better care of her looks other than bathing. ALSO it's interesting to note that one of Daemons gifts to Nettles is a silver looking glass to me that just proves that Daemon wants Nettles to remember to take care of herself AND on a more romantic side Daemon could've gifted it to her so she can see the beauty in herself that he sees in her and so she can find the beauty within herself, honestly these gifts are so well thought out that it's no wonder Nettles fell for him too because no one has figuratively amd literally observed her so well that they are able to pin point the things she may want and need JUST LIKE SHE DID WITH SHEEPSTEALER the only difference is Daemon isn't doing this for any other reason he's doing it because he loves her and wants to take care of her and he wants to provide for her and show her that he sees and knows her.

This a thousand times🙌🏽 When it comes to Fire & Blood because it is not written in a traditional format people are always saying look at the actions or look at what this character has had to deal with, but suddenly with Nettles, everyone is allergic to actually analyzing her story and journey.

They don't see her as an actual character in her own right. They see her as a tool. Which spills over to their interpretation of her relationship with Daemon.

All this fuss and the arguments being made harkens back to one side wanting to make Nettles into Daemon’s victim and the other into some baby bada** feral pet. I’ve said this before, but both don’t want her to be an actual character with her own wants and desires because then she’s a threat.

So they ignore how Nettles grew up to say she didn’t know how to take care of herself. Even though she was smart enough to claim a dragon that no one else could claim, knowing how soap and water work is way too advanced for her🙃.

Daemon looks after Nettles, making sure she has nice things, that she’s looking after her physical appearance and health, caring for her because he cares for her because he loves her, gets ignored.

All in favor of Nettles is mentally a toddler and Daemon is being a sexual predator again. Yeah, it is easy enough to jump to the second conclusion(the first conclusion has to be one of the dumbest borderline-racist arguments I have seen in this fandom), but look at Daemon’s actions.

If he is grooming Nettles why save her? Why go through all that trouble to dote upon her when in the end he’s not going to be there to enjoy the fruits of his labor?

When this is pointed out they go oh yeah but he brought her into this mess in the first. Ignoring the fact yet again that Daemon isn’t in the business of saving people just to save them. Look at who he is.

If he did not genuinely love Nettles, if he had not put her before his own wife, which yeah it can be construed as wrong, but these same people overlook incest, child murder, and racism to shout true love so adultry really isn’t the highest crime one can commit, he would have let those orders be carried out.

This is the same guy who murdered his young nephew. Who was fine with killing his dead wife’s uncle (on Rhaenyra’s orders in the book). He isn’t Mr. Nice Guy. He would have killed Nettles himself if he felt nothing for her.

And yeah has it ever occurred to them that Nettles herself could actually want Daemon? That she wants a romantic relationship with him just as much as he wants one with her.

This man who is kind to her, loving towards her, who cares and looks after her, who in many ways is just as unseen as she is, but he sees her. She’s never had that before. It's little wonder for the reasons above why she wouldn't love him, but they ignore all that.

She's old enough to fight in a war a pointless war, because I've seen very few complaints on how she's too young to be used by Team Black, but she's too young to be loved. You hate to see it.

[coockie8]

How many cats did you have to groom, if any?

When my mom was working from home, she had a fair amount of cat clients that I helped her with. The easiest was probably Oreo; a fat ass black and white cat that would let you do literally anything to him provided you were feeding him treats haha

But even with him, as he got older, he started getting aggressive. Their hearing and vision start to go, and their teeth start to rot, and their bones start to ache, and they don't understand we're just trying to keep them clean and healthy, so they lash out 'cause sometimes the way we have to move them to get at areas like between their legs or their armpits isn't exactly comfortable, but they also can't be left to mat.

Some cats were just nail cuts and brush-outs, but some were either lion cuts (I hate this cut lol) or needed to be shaved due to matting (usually obese or extremely long-haired like persians with lazy owners who don't understand these cats can't groom themselves effectively, like if you're not gonne brush your cat just get a fucking short-haired cat 🤬🤬🤬)

On one particularly unfortunate occasion the owner of one of the cats my mom groomed literally nearly dislocated his cat's shoulders 'cause he didn't listen to my mom (a pet groomer with 30+ years experience) when she told him not to hold his cat by the front legs 'cause if he panics he'll backflip and hurt himself. Well, guess exactly what the cat who'd never been groomed before did when my mom turned her clipper on. Probably could've worked with that cat, but didn’t 'cause of the owner; tried to blame my mom for the cat's injuries she'd literally told him holding the cat like that would cause :/ :/

[partyoffourplusfur]

Ya know I’m not sure I’ve ever formally posted about our dog, Greg, on here. Getting ready to try a new training tool so why not start documenting on here 🤷‍♀️

We got Greg 2? Years ago (time melts into eachother these days) and he’s great. He’s a 3 year old mini poodle (I think he’s a schnauzer/poodle mix) Loves to play fetch, tug, and “get that dog”. He’s amazing with the kids. So tolerant and vocal about when he doesn’t want to be messed with which the kids have learned to back off which is also great. He plays with the cats. (Well Billie. They’re bffs. Olive isn’t a fan of playing with him. She’s a cranky old lady) He loves being brushed and I’m able to groom him myself (a fantastic trait of a long haired pet for a broke ass bitch)

BUT he’s reactive. And it’s a real pain in the ass.

But. He’s just reactive. Not aggressive. I always feel the need to clarify that.

Mostly to other dogs and men. Can’t just let people live their lives.

He will bark up a big bad storm, but the moment said person is near him, he’s on his back asking for belly rubs 🙄 literally. He was barking at a guy running in the neighborhood. Living his life. And got away from us and I had to yell at the guy (he’s just loud! He won’t bite you! And Greg just rolled over the second he was in arms distance of the dude🙄) all bark no bite.

Dogs on the other hand, I keep him away from of course because im not going to let anyone potentially get bit.

We had an instance where a neighbor dog was loose (it’s a whole thing. I actually called animal control on them and they haven’t been out loose since. Anyways) and came near us and Greg lost his freaking mind. Dog was friendly and just wanted to say hi but Greg only saw a threat to me and the kids and I was swinging him in the air by his harness so he didn’t get close enough to bite them or be bit because at that point I would have abandoned him to get the kids inside and then who knows what kind of damage would have been done to the both of them.

We’ve tried redirecting with a clicker and treats. And that works when we’re inside the house. Not so much when we’re in public. Because he’s like DANGER! DANGER! A THREAT TO MY BABIES! A THREAT TO MY MOM! even though everyone is totally fine and he’s the one making a fool of himself.

Anywho. Next we’re trying a bark collar. Which I’ve always been pretty against. Because like who wants to SHOCK their pet? But I’ve discovered that bark collars these days typically have settings, where they first beep, and then they vibrate, and then they’ll shock. And you can change the intensity of the vibrate and shock settings. So really it can be very subtle. And lots of reviews said once their dog realized what the beep meant, they generally learned to shut the heck up because they didn’t want to be shocked. So we’re gonna try it inside the house for a week or so and once we’re not barking so much in the home, then we’ll try neighborhood walks, then try being in public. And hopefully he’ll learn to not bark and we can stop using the collar.

It wouldn’t be so bad if it was just when he was in public. He’s unfortunately pretty reactive to Jesus a lot of the time and always trying to “protect” me (even though I swear he’s his favorite person) Oh like for example last night I fell asleep in bed and Jesus was playing games. Greg was in bed with me and he also fell asleep. Jesus came in to get the phone charger and spooked Greg and he was barking up a storm (and scared the shit out of me) at Jesus even though he clearly knows THAT HE LIVES HERE TOO like damn dude. It’s not that big of a deal he’s allowed to come into his own room. Chilllllllll.

Anyways yeah that’s what’s going on with the dog and I have pretty high hopes. It’d be great if he could at the very least learn to not bark when in the house. He barks at the neighbors when they come into the building or sometimes when they’re walking around too loud upstairs.

Greg is just a loud boy with anxiety.

[myshredda]

There's three of them! and i said i wasn't going to get invested in this but now i am so here are some headcanons:

pink kills the bugs when it's just the three of them. she's brave like that

yellow and pink have ratty hair; it's always a mess. green doesn't know why it's so hard to brush ur hair everyday and is generally confused why they don't

pink wants hair like Ariel form the little mermaid tho, all poofy and floaty. sometimes she tries but she doesn't take good enough care of it bc there's just so much. despite what green says, it takes longer than five minutes to style her hair lol

several brushes have been stuck/broken while trying to detangle her hair so the adults have kind've given up on it

occasionally red or duck will try to preen her but they give up after ten minutes like "yeah, that's as good as that's ever going to get"

idk if you've seen wwdits but pink is like baby colin robinson, just hammering holes in the wall as soon as no one's watching

red and duck went on a really quick tesco run once and thought they would be fast enough to leave the kids at home and... they were wrong. she had knocked a good chunk of the living room wall out and cheerily explained that she was building her own room bc she was tired of living w "smelly boys"

red tried to stay as calm as he could given the circumstances and explain why she can't just knock walls out (but internally he was screaming). Duck just went ballistic

yellow and green got in trouble too bc they knew what she was doing and didn't try to stop her at all. their reasoning was they didn't want to share a room with her either, she snored too loud

ofc it was all ok in the end, but that was not a good day for anybody

in my mind, pink is like marie from the aristocats, "Ladies don't start fights but they can finish them!" or Mouthface from the trail to oregon musical, "I get a turn with the gun first! I have bloodlust *does cute little pose*".

she favors red just bc he was so nice to her at the beginning but she does have duck's violent streak

shes the only one that has teeth besides red so her bites hurt

she has a hard time differentiating between the types of love, romantic, platonic, and familial, and misreads social cues a lot bc of it. she's getting better but at the beginning it was really bad

she would mistake basic kindness/familial love for romantic love and then get really upset when it turned out just bc duck made her favorite food or yellow shared his toys doesn't mean they want to marry her

it took a long time for her to find value in herself outside of her relationships w others

her and yellow are the chaos crew. they're the kids that will put a big ugly toad on the kitchen table and beg to keep it as a pet. green swears up and down that he told them it was a bad idea but really he was just as excited as them

also ducks delighted to have another person to feed. he gets to cook more, make more types of food, and get the satisfaction of watching them fill out to a healthier shape

it is very hilarious to me that you started out that first ask with 'idk if i'll get very deep into this' and my response was 'oh you might not, but I certainly fucking will' and then my life spiraled out of control forever <3 Thank you for giving me the opportunity to go on a 1.2k rant about a literal one off character and give her trauma and then attempt to heal said trauma I made up for her <3 <3 <3 Love all the bits about her hair being messy because she's 100% forget to brush it now because she has STUFF TO DO and NATURE TO EXPLORE and FORTS TO BUILD and brushing her hair is boring and she doesn't want to do that 💗I think Duck would take preening her as a personal challenge and on nights where she's really sleepy and lazy and just wants to watch TV she'll let him work at it for a while and he's having the time of his life while working at her rats nest because grooming the people he loves is his biggest love language.

Yes to her knocking holes in the wall (I'm vaguely aware of baby Colin from wwdits ((I think him and Nadja's soul that's trapped in a doll are friends which is cute!))) Yes to her attempting to build a new room and knocking out half a fucking wall, yes to Red trying to gentle parent while Duck's just making a high-pitched noise of absolute horror in the background (which Pink fully ignores) Green and Yellow are like doing the innocent BUT WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING routine but Duck is NOT having it (they've lived with them enough to know better by now!) and it's kind of sucky but it's really a good opportunity for Red and Duck to enforce rules and boundaries in a healthy way that the kid's aren't used to bc 'punishment' for them in their past was violent and traumatic.

Love the idea of Pink and Red bonding bc they have teeth. Duck's like I HAVE TEETH SOMETIMES (which he did! when he was having his organs removed!) and bonds with Pink over biting people because they both like to do that 💗

Yeah at first she has a REALLY hard time with love bc in the cult there was only ONE type of love and everything fell under that umbrella (not that it was real love obviously) and Red and Duck have to explain to her over and over that No she doesn't have to marry them for them to love her and it upsets her a little because she feels like she's doing something bad bc experiencing love outside of marriage is a big no-no in Shrignold's eyes (as he told Yellow when he introduced Pink as special one in the first place!) so it's a really long process of them being gentle with her and her being uncomfortable with it but eventually they get there.

Her and Yellow have ZERO control of their impulses for different reasons but they band together and make messes wherever they go and Green watches in amusement because he thinks its good scientific research to watch them go fucking ham

Speaking of ham Duck is like fully gone Barefoot Contessa and just COOKS and cooks and cooks and makes way too much food and pushes leftovers and helps Pink realize that she doesn't have to be skinny to be feminine and she can eat whatever she feels like and doesn't have to eat less than the boys just because she's a girl and she doesn't have to help cook because she's a girl but because it's a good life-skill that everyone should know how to do and she doesn't have to help cook for the others if she doesn't want to

@rockheadcd​ asked : Is it weird to groom a lover? Roark doesn't really think twice about it, and never really has, admittedly—taking the fine comb to fur wasn't all that different than Volkner trying to tame his bedhead as a kitsune, smoothing out fuzz as it's detangled for the day. Repeating this little routine over and over had it's benefits, though, blond fur much silkier and soft to the touch depending on where he feels like petting him.

Despite all of that, he wasn't at all ready for the sheer undercoat this shapeshifter has, sneezing for the third time as another puff of fox fur is pulled off the comb, stray strands linking together, floating off, and landing right on Roark's nose. "It literally doesn't end—I could have made three of you by now, geez!" Were foxes always this puffy in the winter?!

And the little furball so comfortably curled up on his love’s lap doesn’t seem phased whatsoever, seemingly oh so uncaring of his misery as he keeps trying and trying to just be done with all the brushing and fluffying up fur with no end in sight, not even close. Not as if this is something he can give much of an opinion on, anyways, not when it’s the first time winter time carries such a change in a coat that was only now allowed to be so properly and nicely cared for. Was this something normal for foxes and kitsunes alike? He couldn’t know, exactly, with how little to nonexistent contact he’s had with his own kind, and the latter hardly being of help when that fine thread separating the otherwordly from regular, mundane life still existed, tiny, fluffy form or not.

Maybe it’s not something that matters much, at the end of the day. Clearly, Roark knew what he was doing, and even after learning just about the same, leaving the care of such a coat in loving, caring hands was simply the better option, plain and simple. That, and perhaps this little fox enjoys being spoiled and treated a bit. ( more than a bit, really, if the fresh fish that is now an obligatory staple of roark’s grocery list is anything to go by. )

... Those tufts all around them covering the couch are more than he expected, though. How long had they been sitting here like this, had he dozed off at some point? A little too high of a possibility in what was basically his own private spa. Well. Maybe he will have to treat his love a bit in return once they’re done here and it’s a human figure curling up on his lap just as comfortably, arms and tails wrapping around him alike. He’s earned it for all the suffering and endless sneezing.

For now, all the little ball of fur can do is turn around a little, just a moment to shake himself ( and maybe getting rid of some more loose fur coming off that way— ) and just... gently bumping his love’s stomach, some loud, happy purring following as he nuzzles right there. It’s as close as he gets to ‘I love you’ without words. ( he’s so happy like this, though, no amount of purring will ever be enough to show him this, isn’t it? )

[bladedwoe]

NAME,   Astrid

NICKNAME,   I think Astrid's name is short enough you can't really make a nickname out of it tbh. She sometimes calls herself "Den mother" so maybe that?

GENDER, Female

ORIENTATION,   Pansexual / Polyamorous

PREFERRED  PET  NAMES,   No preferences

RELATIONSHIP  STATUS,   Married (by default)

FAVORITE  CANON  SHIP( S ),  I'm just going to go with Arnbjorn for this since I base a lot of her romantic leanings and types off of their relatio ship.

FAVORITE  NON-CANON  SHIP( S ),  I haven't really had an oc ship with Astrid. I have one that is approaching ship territory, but nothing official or set in stone yet.

OPINION  ON  TRUE  LOVE,  Astrid believes in it to an extent, but she doesn't really believe in the idea of soul mates (specifically one soul mate, she thinks there can be multiple and different types that range in the platonic and familial category). She thinks true, geninue love does exist despite her deprived outlook on life.

OPINION  ON  LOVE  AT  FIRST  SIGHT,   Astrid doesn't believe in this. She trusts her gut feeling and her intuition, so she might feel a strong attraction (or pull) to someone, but she doesn't necessarily believe in the idea of love at first sight. She thinks it's childish. Attraction exists and is the start, but she needs to know her person deeply.

HOW  ‘ROMANTIC’  ARE  THEY,  Astrid is kind of subtle with her romance. I think she uses words of affirmation and physical touch with her partner, but there's definitely a difference when she's out and about and when she's alone. She has to keep a somewhat professional demeanor about her as a leader, so she might brush her fingers along her partner's shoulders, or tease them a little. But she more of expressed her love in private. I think late at night, when Astrid can wind down for the day, she'll express to her partner how much she appreciates them, praises them, and will put her heart on full display. Another case of this would be if they're really hurt or near death, she will literally crumble and her cheeky and coy (or business-like and demanding, whatever she feels like will suit the situation) demeanor will crack. So usually, it's subtle, but she keeps a vibe of "I'll always be there for you" around her partner where she'll put their wellbeing beyond herself.

IDEAL  PHYSICAL  TRAITS,   Muscular, grey or white hair, facial hair, rugged appearance, older than her, taller than her, well groomed (hygienic). Physical traits aren't that important to Astrid, honestly, she's more drawn into personality but she find a lot of different appearances attractive. Her attraction to women varies and she has no preferences.

IDEAL  PERSONALITY  TRAITS,  Loyalty, submissive, violent/murderous (not to her, but in general), bold, adventurous, intelligent, charming (in however way she views it), confident, creative. (She finds shy individuals cute, but she'll grow bored of it if it persists).

UNATTRACTIVE  PHYSICAL  TRAITS,   Short, lean/skinny, unhygienic, meek looking.

UNATTRACTIVE  PERSONALITY  TRAITS,  Boring, too stuck on themselves, inflexible, controlling (of her), weak, indecisive, addict, always hot tempered, insecure, passive.

IDEAL  DATE,  Murder date? Astrid isn't actually that materialistic. She doesn't have a high standard with a date. She prefers a more low-key, one-on-one date that allows her to get to know her partner and have some fun. That can be chatting over dinner. Still wants to have a murder date though.

DO  THEY  HAVE  A  TYPE,  Sort of? Dilfs? But honestly, she is open to most people tbh.

AVERAGE  RELATIONSHIP  LENGTH,  Astrid has had quick flings and some average length relationships. Astrid usually doesn't operate with monogamy. She's polyamorous, but she will have multiple long-term partners since she doesn't enter a romantic relationship unless she's committed to that person. Any long-term relationship is usually with Dark Brotherhood or Thieves Guild members, anyone within their criminal circle. Outside of that, it's flings. I would say... a year or more, sometimes less.

PREFERRED  NON-SEXUAL  INTIMACY,   Cuddling, having her partner bathe her or give her massages. She is willing to massage her partner. But she just enjoys sitting in their presence and talking mostly. She's occupied with work, planning, and taking care of the Dark Brotherhood a lot, so she prefers the small moments where she can breathe and chill with her partner.

COMMITMENT  LEVEL,   It takes a lot out of Astrid to get into a romantic relationship. She has to air out all her secrets and be vulnerable about her fears, thus showing more of her true side out there. She doesn't get into a romantic relationship with someone (unless plotted) until she feels like she can trust them with all her secrets. With being polyamorous, when she enters an official relationship, she's 100% loyal. Astrid has had flings, but when she got with Arnbjorn (for example), she doesn't operate that way and will only date someone else if all parties agree and she trusts them fully.

OPINION  OF  PUBLIC  AFFECTION,   Surprisingly, Astrid doesn't really like PDA. She will subtly run her fingers along her partner's shoulder or hair, but she keeps all affection behind closed doors. She will only engage in PDA if it's to distract someone for whatever reason.

PAST  RELATIONSHIPS,   She had a fling with Delvin Mallory in the Thieves Guild. I headcanon this was mostly a FWB scenario that ended when Delvin wanted to leave the DB and when Astrid was starting to explore polygamy. Delvin wasn't really into that as a whole, so they both split apart for the best of both parties. Astrid also got occupied with DB duties and rising to the leadership position.

Performance Artist 

Nick Cave

In invigorating performances that often involve collaborations with local musicians and choreographers, the Soundsuits can seem almost shaman-esque, a contemporary spin on kukeri, ancient European folkloric creatures said to chase away evil spirits. They recall as well something out of Maurice Sendak, ungainly wild things cutting loose on the dance floor in a gleeful, liberating rumpus. The surprising movements of the Soundsuits, which change depending on the materials used to make them, tend to guide Cave’s performances and not the other way around. There is something ritual-like and purifying about all the whirling hair and percussive music; the process of dressing the dancers in their 40-pound suits resembles preparing samurai for battle. After each performance, the suits made of synthetic hair require tender grooming, like pets. Cave’s New York gallerist, Jack Shainman, recalls the time he assisted in the elaborate process of brushing them out — “I was starting to bug out, because there were 20 or 30 of them” — only to have Cave take over and do it all himself. Much beloved and much imitated (as I write this, an Xfinity ad is airing in which a colorful, furry-suited creature is buoyantly leaping about), they can be found in permanent museum collections across America.

Their origins are less intellectual than emotional, as Cave tells it, and they’re both playful and deadly serious. He initially conceived of them as a kind of race-, class- and gender-obscuring armature, one that’s both insulating and isolating, an articulation of his profound sense of vulnerability as a black man. Using costume to unsettle and dispel assumptions about identity is part of a long tradition of drag, from Elizabethan drama to Stonewall and beyond; at the same time, the suits are the perfect expression of W.E.B. Du Bois’s idea of double consciousness, the psychological adjustments black Americans make in order to survive within a white racist society, a vigilant, anticipatory awareness of the perceptions of others. It’s no coincidence that Cave made the first Soundsuit in 1992, after the beating of Rodney King by the Los Angeles Police Department in 1991, a still-vivid racial touchstone in American history; almost three decades later, the suits are no less timely. “It was an almost inflammatory response,” he remembers, looking shaken as he recalls watching King’s beating on television 28 years ago. “I felt like my identity and who I was as a human being was up for question. I felt like that could have been me. Once that incident occurred, I was existing very differently in the world. So many things were going through my head: How do I exist in a place that sees me as a threat?”

Cave had begun teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, with its predominately white faculty, two years before, and in the aftermath of the incident, followed by the acquittal of the officers responsible, he felt his isolation painfully. “I really felt there was no one there I could talk to. None of my colleagues addressed it. I just felt like, ‘I’m struggling with this, this is affecting my people.’ I would think that someone would be empathetic to that and say, ‘How are you doing?’ I held it all in internally. And that’s when I found myself sitting in the park,” he says. In Grant Park, around the corner from his classroom, he started gathering twigs — “something that was discarded, dismissed, viewed as less. And it became the catalyst for the first Soundsuit.”

For many years after he began making his signature work, Cave deliberately avoided the spotlight, shying away from an adoring public: “I knew I had the ability, but I wasn’t ready, or I didn’t want to leave my friends behind. I think this grounded me, and made me an artist with a conscience. Then, one day, something said, ‘Now or never,’ and I had to step into the light.” Initially, he wasn’t prepared for the success of the Soundsuits. For much of the ’90s, “I literally shoved all of them into the closet because I wasn’t ready for the intensity of that attention,” Cave says. He began exhibiting the Soundsuits at his first solo shows, mostly in galleries across the Midwest; he’s since made more than 500 of them. They’ve grown alongside Cave’s practice, evolving from a form of protective shell to an outsize, exuberant expression of confidence that pushes the boundaries of visibility. They demand to be seen.

Pairing: Jaehyun X Winwin X Reader

Warnings: cheating, pure smut, oral sex, penetration, fingering, breeding kink, panty sniffing/stuffing, pet names, dirty talk, degrade, overstimulation, best man winwin, revenge, wedding day.

Word count: 2.3k

18+ only no minors!

97' liners.... winwin phase. No comment.

Summary: A deal with a groom and his best man?

"Seriously?" is all that uttered out of your mouth. You just walked inside the room, unknowingly, while Jaehyun and his best man Winwin were kissing some girls.

The girls immediately ran out of embarrassment, being caught in the act. Leaving the two men rather surprised.

"Ain't you getting married literally in 15 minutes? But your here busy cheating on your fiancé," you crossed your arms together as you watch the two men ahead.

"Nothing wrong with having a bit of fun. Anyways why do you care so much? I thought you both hated each other." Jaehyun rolls his eyes, annoyed that you had to interrupt this moment for him.

He's not lying. His fiancé and you both had drama for years, you didn't really like her attitude at all. She even lied to you so many times and ended up talking to the same guy you was. You still both til this day have some sort of dislike regardless the time frame it's been. To be honest, you haven't heard much about Jaehyun except her bragging about how handsome and rich he was. You had no idea this man had no morals the way he openly is cheating.

But that just interests you further, wanting to play a game. You always wanted to get back at her, so why not take your sweet revenge by fucking her fiancé turning husband in afew minutes.

You walk back to the door which makes Jaehyun and Winwin just give each other a look. Not realising you only went to close it, standing behind the door as your face perks up.

"Hmm" you pondered. "I have a condition if you don't want me to tell your fiancé. I want you, pointing your finger at Jaheyun, and pretty boy, to make me cum hard before you get married." A cheeky smirk forms on to your face watching the reactions ahead. Jaehyun looks dazzling in his fitted suit, charming as ever. Meanwhile his best man WinWin looks absoutely sexy in his black suit. These two were incredible fine men. Who wouldn't want the both?

You stood still and watched Jaehyun walking towards you as he leaned in closer to your ears. Your breathing hitches up from the close proxmity of the two, smelling his sexy strong colonge. His lips just brushed your cheek before he stops to your ear.

"How bad do you want us baby girl?" He whispered as his warm breath hits your ear, forming goosebumps on to your skin. His voice was so deep and sensual. Hearing the pet name you can already feel a wet spot being formed.

"S-o bad" you uttered slowly, oh how badly you want this.

Winwin approached as he watched the little interaction, only to catch you off guard. He pins his arm on to the door as he locks it. Making your eyes open quickly to see his handsome face next to you. Tilting his head to the left side, watching your body react so easily having both men beside you.

"Pretty boy huh?" As his eyes travelled to your entire body back to your face with a grin. You wore such a tight dress on which exposed your features more.

"Pretty boy needs a pretty girl, you know?" Provoking you with his deep voice, feeling your pussy vibrate. His finger makes its way to your jaw, heading towards your heaving chest. Winwin made circles with his finger on your sensitive nipples, watching them get stimulated as they poke out of your dress.

"Mm-mm, you moan out from the stimulation.

"Mm that's it," his voice lowers, "keep making noise for me, okay?" He teases.

"Want more"

"More?" He spoke as his gaze stayed fixed on you, getting lower once his lucious lips make contact with your hard nipples. He flickers his tongue all around before sucking your breast in, causing you to gasp hard.

"So needy, bet that pussy is dripping" his hand roams towards your core, begging to get a touch.

"Take these panties off right now." Winwin demanded. Your dress was hiked up as you pulled down your soaked panties. Just as you did Winwin pulled them away from your grip. His eyes widen at the look of it being coated in wetness, only for him to take it towards his face and nose. You could sense his nostrils flare up, his cock hardening as it pains him. "Fuckk,"  Closing his eyelids to fully breathe into your scent, triggering him almost. How can you smell so sweet yet be so fucking dirty wanting to fuck a fiance and his best man at his own wedding.

Just watching Winwin get hypnotised by your scent makes your thighs rub against each other. What you didn't expect is how he shoved those same wet panties inside your mouth, causing restriction. "Be a good slut and keep your mouth quiet, understand?"

Trying your hardest to form a "yes" which came out muffled.

Watching him from your fluttering eyelids, only to feel Jaehyun's finger grazing below.

Jaehyun's fingers found its way on your clit, rubbing it in circular motions. His lips were stilled on your neck as he pecked kisses. You gasp when you felt his teeth digging in your skin, leaving a mark. His cock hardened against your thigh begging to get inside you already. Being so wet not noticing when Jaehyun's fingers made its way in, thrusting inside. Your mouth parted as the pleasure flew in which was hard with panties stuffed inside. Wanting to shut your thighs together from the overbearing feeling, only for Winwin's hand to roughly grab on to your thigh before he gives it a tight slap, causing a sting as you whimper. Pressing on to his arm roughly as he flicks your clit with the other.

"We want to see you break apart, pretty girl"

Jaehyun chuckled only for him to purposely increase his speed as he thrusts with his fingers, you've became a mess when Winwin made his way to your clit, rubbing it furiously. Jaehyun's finger curls upwards, as it hits against your gspot. Having two hands working and building more pressure you can just feel yourself clenching on his fingers almost immediate. Your drool drips from your mouth coating your panties more, unable to even bare the overstimulation and being with held from making too much sounds. Your back completely arched against the door. Eyes rolling back with the intense sensations passing through your body, droplets of tears falling down to your fucked out face while your orgasm passes through.

"Fuck, look at how you creamed my fingers, baby." His face is full of lust as he watches your state. His half lidded eyes gazing you as his fingers enter inside his mouth, sucking your juices in.

"Taste so sweet mmm" he growls.

Its almost embarrassing how fast these two men made you cum, just by their hands. The high they got you to feel was the best you've experienced. You can't even stop thinking of how their cocks would feel inside. Winwin removed the wet panties from your mouth, keeping them inside his pocket.

"Do you see this," Winwin whispers. His huge bulge was rubbing on your thigh, whilst Jaehyun's hard bulge was rubbing on your other thigh. Feeling yourself squashed between two fine men wanting to sink into the pleasure as your pussy is throbbing with the cocks rubbing on your exposed skin. You could feel how hard they felt against you. "See what you just did to us baby?" Jaehyun speaks out.

Before you could even speak, Jaehyun took you and placed you kneeling on the floor, while he sits on the couch. You've already your dress off as you waited for what's next excitedly. Their eyes lighted with lust seeing your entire body with sexy black lingerie. Your huge tits and plumped ass on full display. He fumbled with his pants, exposing his hard erection, begging for a touch. "Suck my cock."

You licked your lips at the sight infront while Jaehyun had a hold on his dick before he entered the tip in your mouth. Small licks at the base before you moved your tongue on his entire shaft. Continuing with your licks, as your needy mouth swallowed him inside so easily. You bopped your head as you sucked making sure you've fully coated his cock with your wetness. Hearing Jaehyun grunting made you aware how much he enjoyed, only for your throat to savour his whole cock down, causing him to push his head back in pleasure. Your ass was extremely arched as you kept moving, causing desire on both eyes.

"Gonna be a good slut and twerk for us? Show Winwin how badly you want him inside your needy hole as you suck my cock, hm? He teases.

"Y-yes,'' you moaned in response as the cock was hitting your throat. Wiggling your ass high up wanting a cock to be inside, imagining yourself taking in his huge length as you rock back and forth. Both admiring how your ass moves itself, so effortlessly. Winwin delivers tight slaps as you moan on Jaehyun's cock, arousal flying all over your body.

You removed the cock for a split second only for Winwin to use your mouth with his fingers, using the saliva, just for insertion inside of your hole. He let you take the lead as you continued moving back and forth with his finger behind, wishing it was his cock. You realised he placed his cock inside as his tip came first causing slight pain, before his remaining inches went in.

"You can take it." He coos. "Had to occupy your sweet hole since it looked so deprived."

Thrusting his whole cock behind you as his hands held on to your perky breasts before his thumb brushes over them. He was balls deep inside behind, thrusting in and out. You loved how Winwin's cock streched your hole, hitting your walls. "Fuck, needy girl your already clenching around me". You can hear him groaning near you. He rams his cock even deep. "Such a slut, wanting a married man and his best friend at once, desperate to get cockfilled, hm?"

"F-fuck I l-love it."

Gripping your hair in his hand, Jaehyun thrusts his hips against your mouth. Swallowing his entire length in one go.You begin to gag on his cock as he thrusts at a ruthless pace. Getting gagged while saliva's dripping down your chin.

"Might have to keep coming back to get my cock sucked because, fuck, you take me in so well." He smirks.

The comment made you feel so dirty yet turned on more. You really wanted to show him how it should be done. How useless his wife is when you can take cock so much better and more.

"Wanna ride you Jaehyun, please." you whined.

Jaehyun layed on his back as you approached closer, coming above him before you squatted down. You made sure Winwin was next to you as you rubbed him, using the wetness to coat on Jaehyun's cock before you entered the tip inside. "Such a dirty slut" Winwin grunts.

You slid slightly then stopped. "Remember our condition, making me cum hard? Are you going to cum inside my pussy with your married cock? Gonna keep me satisfied with cum in both my holes?"

"Y-yes you slut" Jaehyun growls.

You began bouncing up and down before Jaehyun grabbed on to your breasts as they jiggled. He sucked each breast so hard, leaving marks on your chest, your eyes were rolling in pleasure. You felt his cock wrapped in your pussy, riding so effortlessly. He matched your speed as he fucked deeply, mouth apart as the moans came through. His hips thrusting upwards as the cock swallows inside. Grabbing on to Winwin's cock as you stroked, making sure you pump him up full for release in your needy mouth.

Your entire body begins to shudder, clenching all over his cock knowing your orgasm is approaching its way. Jaehyun increasing his speed as your entire thighs begin to burn in pain, shaking almost crazily from the intense feeling. You bite your lip so hard, crying from how badly you feel yourself cumming all over his cock, uncontrollably. You keep moving all over his cock spreading all your juices, begging to get filled.

"I'm going to walk around with your cums infront of everyone especially your wife, show her who the cum really belongs too."

Once you spoke that, you can hear how badly Jaehyun's groans were becoming, he loved hearing how much you want his cum inside your pussy, showing it off to everyone. Your hand was moving at such a speed just to have Winwin grunting hard, shooting his cum inside your entire mouth, devouring it all up. You made sure any remains of cum was licked off while sucking his cock, giving a tip a kiss. Just in time, Jaehyun made sure he filled your entire wall with his thick white cum, loving how warm he made you feel. All you wanted was to keep his hot cum inside you throughout.

Hearing outside noises and the ceremony beginning soon, you all had to quickly make yourselves look presentable before hitting outside. Winwin got your soaked panties from his pocket and threw them over to you.

"Keep those on when we go down, want that pussy always wet". He smirks.

"Wet for us" Jaehyun responds.

Fast forward, Jaehyun and his now "wife" finally got married, both sharing their kiss. Everyone approached them to send their best wishes, happily. Ofcourse you would also, you're so happy, so happy to have his cum still inside of you as you walked over. Happy that her darling husband sucked your juices off not so long ago. You congratulated the two as she embraced you for a hug, only for you to whisper.

"Hope you liked the taste".

I love pet play so here is me doing pet play scenrios ♡♡♡♡ just some thoughts what pet i think they would have and what they'd do uwu

my list!

Characters: Gojo Satoru x reader ; Megumi Fushiguro x reader ; Toji Fushiguro x reader ; Naoya Zenin x reader and Itadori Yuji x reader

warning: nsfw ; petplay ; dom/sub ; humiliation ; dumbification and idk???

Gojo Satoru

He peaks as the soft/slutty bunny type of guy or a cunning fox

Honestly his white hair just gives me snow bunny vibes, but any kind of bunny would be cool with him.

On one side he likes to corrupt the innocent looking ones, cute little bunnies who get feral horny with him. Pretty costumized bunny ears for his pet, he can afford it. Pretty pillow princesses he fucks stupid, in any position, but it's a plus if he can see that soft pretty tail.

Or maybe just the classic playboy bunny type, model body. Curvy, pretty ones, the nice lips, nice everything with those skin tight skimpy bunny suits. Fishnet or nylon doesn't matter, he'll rip them apart, he loves that clean sexy look, before he messes everything up.

Why fox? He just peaks me as somewhat you know special out of the usual. Foxes are rather rare for pet play since they aren't the average pet either. Though I can imagine a pretty fox, who would tease him back and is playful would keep him interested. He just might put a collar on you and tugs you around for the fun of it.

He thrives at any title master??? fuck yes baby push his ego. Sir??? hell yeah push his authority might as well call him sensei. daddy?? sure as classic he'll call you little one and other sweet nicknames

Really depends on his mood that day or what you'd want him to do, he can do anything, if you're a good pet for him he'll praise you, if you want to be degraded sure he'll call you his slut and spits on your face.

You just want to fuck ? Sure, he'll fuck you stupid and breeds your bunny/fox hole/cunt. You want him to actually treat you like a pet?? Yeah sure he'll put down a water bowl and all that shit down for you to use, he'll give you hella foreplay.

jokes about animal abuse in the end lol

Megumi Fushiguro

He is my baby, but if I had to pick for him? I'd just say puppy's. Megumi is a confirmed dog person, so yep I think he'd like obedient puppy's. Probably blushes when you put on the ears and the tail, at first he was like nah he isn't into it, but now it gets his dick hard.

He is very soft and sweet, so I can imagine that he'd get along with a playful and obedient puppy's. Loves it when the soft fur of your tail brushes against his skin and how the cute puppy ears peak through your hair. He'll praise you and would call you his good pet as he fucks on all fours. Probably wouldn't tug too much on your collar and leash, it just looks pretty on you.

Would get so flustered at the beginning if you want to call him titles, even if his name is girly, he'd probably still likes the intimacy when you call him by his name between titles.

probably thinks it's a bit weird at first, but you can ease him into it, and he'll tell you what he likes or and what he doesn't like

Toji Fushiguro

I'd just like to think the bias towards dogs runs in the family if not I think he's just the basic cat type same shit but calls you kitty

unlike Megumi, Toji isn't soft. He probably wouldn't care if you'd wear gear or not, actually he might tease and bully you, if you want to wear pretty puppy ears and a tail. Would call you slutty and weird, but he'd still fuck you. He is probably older so he'd just might call you childish and the whole 'You want to be a what kid??' Other than that he wouldn't always call you a good puppy, he'd call you his dumb fucking mutt. Just lives to degrade you and call you stupid. If you want to wear a collar and leash he'll fucking yank you with it, piss him off, and he will choke you with it.

He will literally choke you when you call him daddy. It's unknown of whether he likes or he hates it, he'd just allow it. Sir might be too formal for him a lot of people call him that probably since he is a bit older and works at weird places where he doesn't give his name often. Probably doesn't like master as it might be too touchy towards his family issues back when he was a Zenin.

If it's the cat type he probably is an absolute brat tamer, if you're an egoistic little kitty you're fucked. Get down on your knees for him, he'll fuck your throat until you cry. Be a good kitty for daddy, milk him. Behave and he just might help your little drenching pussy out.

He is just here to fuck, but he would humor you a bit with dirty talk, if you do well, and he likes you. Otherwise nah he wouldn't really go deep into petplay. He is an adult man who was married to what it seems a very normal women so he probably doesn't want to do something super wild or new.

Naoya Zenin

hmmmm I think it's a bit difficult because one dogs are obedient, but they're also often considered dirty mutts I feel like he'd rather like something expensive like one of those white beautiful fur blue eye cats (lmaoo gojo) though cats are seen as arrogant, and he wants his to submit to him fully

probably looks and acting wise he'd like cats but he'd go for dogs too

He just seems like the type to degrade you, and it's easier to insult a dog than a cat y'know?

LMAOO FORGET THE GEAR WITH HIM you won't ever get to ask him to put on ears. He is a traditional man, the max he'd put on you is a collar. I just don't see him wanting to take you on your suggestions and I don't see him suggesting it himself.

If you're very, very, very well-behaved he just might call you a good dog. Yep, don't expect him to call you something cute like puppy. Probably the type to not let you wear any clothes, but your collar. Makes you crawl around with a leash attached, he wants to see you suffer, he wants to dehumanize you. He fucking owns you, he does whatever he wants with you. You're here for his pleasure not yours and he gets off to you being embarrassed and humiliated.

Bark back and he'll put a muzzle on you.

Don't even hesitate to lick the floor he walks on, don't look at him, when he doesn't allow it. He will punish you upon misbehaving and his punishments are real torture.

With him, you need to be well-trained and groomed, a dirty disobedient pet isn't going to stay anywhere near him. Be a good pet, and he just might let you sleep next to his bed, if you do very well and present yourself well in front of his family he just might treat you well and allow you to sleep on the bed.

This isn't pet-play to him he is just an asshole. If he makes you eat face first from a bowl like a dog, he does it to humiliate and laugh at you. Calls you pathetic.

Yuji Itadori

lmaooo its said he is mixed between dogs and cats, but I think he'd have a cat lean when it comes to pet-play

it's just the whole catgirl/catboy/catenby on the internet for him, he thinks cat ears are cute

would totally be exited if you wanted to wear cat ears and tail, he'd just be fascinated about them for while, thinks it's super cute nothing weird at all

hell he'd love it if you wore the cat ears outside bedroom activities too

Would coo and praise you, goes pspsp and all the shit like you're a real cat

wholesome sex but would get horny af if you meow while he pounds you

absolutely mad horny when your collar jingles around while he fucks you, it's too cute

Thinks it's super fucking cute would totally be intrested to look further for fun, probably would platonically treat you as a pet too. Calls you kitty outside the bedroom.

Neck scratches !!

Calls you his pretty kitty, would be down to do anything.

He is your biggest simp :)

[i-never-forgot]

You already know I’m going to elaborate on your points 🫡 buckle up buttercups!

When they’re first reunited she puts aside her own insecurity about the patch as a way of getting back at him—a constant visual reminder out of spite to remind him exactly what he’d done to her and why she felt the way she did about him. It’s not until after they reconcile that she realizes quite how much it actually upsets him—to know that even if he’s able to smooth things over and earn her forgiveness, that he quite literally cannot take back (at the very least) that one thing. She’ll carry it the rest of her life, that cruel mark of him allowing his own selfish terror overriding the care he had for her…and, in a way, so will he. He gets melancholy every single time he sees it, a bit quieter than usual and withdrawn, so she decides to cover it when she can so he doesn’t have to think about it (out of sight, out of mind…but in some ways this brings his attention to it even more strongly). I can imagine him not even wanting to come close to touching it, afraid that he would hurt her again by brushing the sensitive nerves and exposed skin there. Maybe she talks him into petting the length of her back eventually as a way to calm him down when his snowballing thoughts get to be too much for him to handle.

She’s not much bigger and it’s only really noticeable when she stands next to Lu, but when she evolves she’s got the body type of those long cats that can stretch out like accordions lol (also her mama instincts would absolutely kick in with Ribbons being so smol—in either of their forms she would cut a bitch who even looked at Ribbons and Aimilios the wrong way lolll).

Lu will get much more love in the main portion of my fic (if I ever get it written 🥲), but I’ve been a bit preoccupied with the future trio (particularly That Old Man™️, as well you know) so like I said I haven’t given him as much of a spotlight as he deserves…but he is the Best Boy and I would die for him. (Eliana almost has.👀)

The grayed muzzle was the first thing I decided he would have lol, I think it gives him character

And yes 😩 I love thinking about the actual implications of what living as a Pokémon would be like—Leafeons don’t have to eat since they photosynthesize, so I love playing with ideas like that! Her appetite plummets majorly (until she’s wounded, then she has to get some supplemental energy) and it’s a big adjustment for her. Her leaves also indicate her overall health (wilting, yellowing, burning, drying out, rotting, etc). In the autumn they turn shades (bc the shiny form not being fall colors is a travesty), then in the winter they thin out and curl up. In the spring they get really itchy and she sheds them for new growth to start. In exchange for the lack of food intake she has to drink a bunch more water in exchange, though. Her leaves have the same texture as ferns—supple and smooth but delicate and prone to tearing (unless while using moves like Leaf Blade, Solar Beam, etc) whereas her fur shortens and becomes more downy.

It was a little awkward for her to be reunited with Grovyle and Celebi given the circumstances, but being a grad tour gives them something to bond over. Grovyle’s the one who will lay out in the sun with her for hours on end, dozing out chattering lazily bc it makes them feel a little drunk/sleepy. They have a running joke about eating dirt that drives Dusknoir crazy because he knows they don’t actually do it or have to but they’ll start talking about sand or load or peat and how different they all taste and he starts to Worry (but only slightly). She and Grovyle usually end up helping each other preen/groom, especially if he’s shedding his skin as well as his leaves.

Since Dusknoir becomes the unofficial caretaker for his three plants for teammates he gets quite good at tending to houseplants and a garden lol.

I wanted to ask for curiosity sake BUT!!! What does Lu wear/look like when he’s evolved into a fully fledged Lucario? We’ve seen Eliana but I don’t think we’ve seen him yet, and I’m SUPER interested :O

I’m not great at drawing Pokes besides Eevee (especially from memory) so the one other time I’ve drawn a Lucario recently I decided…not to post it🥲

But! I don’t give Lu enough attention (plus I’ve been meaning to post some more refined sketches of this duo), so…here you go!😊

Team Relic!

I’ve previously shied away from giving them any specific identifying features because I am frankly terrified of unique character design (I’ve never been particularly good at it tbh…I always draw a blank on what I could include that wouldn’t be terribly cliche…all my OCs weep bc of this lol), but I decided to try my hand at it.

Eliana as an Eevee is taller than average, perhaps the greatest indicator of her physical age despite being a first form Pokémon (still tiny tho). Her paws are a darker shade of brown, similar to the tone in the inside of her ears, and instead of having a somewhat coarse, stiff, straight fur like most Eevee, hers is smoother, silkier, and almost curly (to reflect the texture of her hair as a human more closely). Her fur is also a tad longer, so some of these errant cowlicks are visible. She wears the knot of her scarf in the front sometimes because she does (thankfully) have enough dexterity to tie it on her own, but it takes her a while. Most of the time Lu does it for her.

[Lu develops a habit of either smoothing down said curls with his paws or introducing her to the concept of mutual grooming as a response to either of their occasional insomniac episodes or when one of them is anxious, but only in the privacy of their room. Otherwise, he keeps a paw between her shoulder blades under her ruff and strokes the fur under his pads as a self-soothing tactic, such as when running into Team Skull.]

As a Leafeon she grows extra lithe and lanky, so she has a bit of fawn clumsiness at first because she’d gotten so used to her shorter legs. Her nose scar from Grovyle is fully healed by this point, so it’s faded a bit, but she hadn’t been able to see the dead patch of skin where Dusknoir’s Ice Punch frostbit the flesh around her throat and rendered it hairless before, so she wears something over it almost all the time bc she hates the reminder.

[Later on she continues to wear it bc it distresses Dusknoir to see it a whole lot—it’s hard to coax him back from his guilty spirals, so she only goes ��naked” when her things need to be washed after exploring.]

[She doesn’t even realize she has to allow herself time to photosynthesize a certain amount of time per day so the first week she couldn’t figure out why she felt so awful until Sunflora pointed out that her ears and tail looked a bit wilted. Sun baths and afternoon naps become a main stay after that point, although Lu does have to occasionally remind her when she starts to feel down without realizing she’d forgotten to do so.]

[She feels a little naked without her ruff because she’d grown the habit of tucking her chin/mouth into it when stressed out, so when she swaps her Guild scarf for a Virid Collar, she’s grateful to have the extra fabric to nuzzle into when she’s overwhelmed.]

[She can also contort into the oddest shapes to sleep. Lu can’t understand it, but it’s because she and Treecko would often have to wedge themselves into crevices and cracks to rest.]

Lu is pretty much your run-of-the-mill Riolu, although he’s a little slimmer and taller with a bit of a longer narrower snout.

However, when he evolves into Lucario, he fleshes out and gets a bit bulkier after all the exploring they’ve done. His chest spike is broken in an accident, and he develops early gray hair along his muzzle (losing your best friend prematurely to sudden vaporization will certainly affect your stress toleration in the long run huh).

[His fur thickens up in the winter and he’s the best to snuggle with, but given the fact that Treasure Town is coastal it rarely actually gets cold enough to last the whole night without having to peel yourself away for a chance to breathe.]

Let me know if there are any other details or questions you wonder about :)

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi Steph! Hope you’re well :) Do you have a 5+1 rec list? It’s one of my all time favourite tropes and having just found a new one I wondered if you knew of any more? Sorry if you already have one linked somewhere, I’m still not very familiar with tumblr! (The new one I found is works/23857900/chapters/57342538 - sorry I’m not sure how to link properly on asks yet either! 😖

anonymous asked: What’s ur opinion on 5+1 fics?

Hi Lovelies!

Ahhh, sorry for the delay on this one!! I love 5 and Ones!! :D I’ve been tagging them since the beginning 3 years ago so I could more easily find them, just WAITING for people to ask, LOL. I read them a lot on FFNet (it was a BIG fad in the early noughts to have 5+1 fics, just like song fics were a 90′s thing lol)

So here y’all are, plus the one @johnlockedin221b suggested which I haven’t read yet! Please feel free to add your own here! 

I’ve also added some *CLOSE TO* five and ones, so like four and ones, I have a 7 times fic, and just one with 5 times. Hope y’all enjoy!

Magpies Series by 7PercentSolution (T, 218,813+ w. across 4 works || Series WIP || Post TRF, Drug Withdrawal, References to Torture, Confessions, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Sick Fic, PTSD, Oblivious John) – The Magpies series covers the events of the broadcast series three and four, "translated" into my universe. I wrote a lot of it before the episodes were broadcast and made some of my themes into AU (such as the Holmes parents and the sibling). Darker, more intense and angsty than Game Theory and Fallen Angel, the Magpies stories show the effects of the hiatus on all concerned. When parts five to 8 are completed, the series will bring the Ford saga to a conclusion.
