dadbf john price and ditzy reader are sooo cute he’s so nice :((( i love it

i would love to see how they would fall into that dynamic, would john already know he likes taking on the role of being a dadbf or would it develop on its own? or maybe would reader slip up by calling him “dad” at some point?

ditzy!reader is very into themselves is what I think.

Like you’re just so used to having a lot of questions and not exactly understanding that first or second time but people ask “are you dumb?” Or “how did you not get it?” So in most situations, when you don’t understand you just smile and nod (lol) and try to figure it out on your own.

There have been a lot of late nights studying by yourself or with a tutor from middle school to college. And it doesn’t help your family doesn’t really think much of you because they hated having to repeat themselves when you were younger.

John on the other hand thinks your quiet inquisitive, you like asking the ins and outs of things even though you may not fully understand it or may forget the answer later on. John never minds answering your questions even if it’s three times over, he loves the sound of your voice, the face you make when your concentrating, pursed lips and all, and that you’re genuinely trying to understand.

The older man knows you have a hard time, so he tends to baby you (not too much, but just enough), let you lean on him only when he’s certain you need it.

I think it probably all came together when he helped you with something, maybe opening an old antique jewelry box that you thought was glued shut but John magically pried open. You’re fully astonished, giving him nothing but praises and questions about how he opened it. How you could open things like that even if you were alone.

He hums, a smile on his lips, arms folded over his chest and leaning against the kitchen counter, perfect alignment to draw you in, “Wouldn’t have to worry about the love. I’m a call away, or a walk, Dad’ll always help you.”

You don’t even question his wording, don’t pause, just nod your head, heart beating a little faster— it’s a trust fall into Price’s warm embrace. Let him treat you sweetly, lovingly, let him guide you ever so gently. And you accept that.

And as a reward, he bends you over that kitchen counter, till your eyes are blurry, drool dripping down to your chin with every deep thrust into you oozing cunt. He wraps his hand around the front of your throat and gives you a squeeze, you can’t help your walls tightening around his length, eyes rolling to the back of your skull.

“F-feels so good Pa, feels so gooood.” You keen.

“I knooooow honey,” he purrs, hes got you right where he wants you. And he’ll cherish that for as long as you’ll have him.

“Doing so good for Daddy, just like you always do.”

most recent masterlist.

Don't tease us like that Rosie! I'm so feral for those dragons! I want any chapter in any dragon pov.

Except for maybe dragon sex, I guess I'm not that feral lol. No judging though. But I'd rather read the resulting frisky riorgail

Too small for a one-shot? Make it a half a shot. Just post it here 😇😈

I will probably post it on ao3 eventually but I'd want to write it out a bit more (later, since I finally moved back to the main fic) and probably re-read both regular Threshing and Xaden POV for reference lol I had it all figured out in my head at the time but that was months ago

Here's a sneak peak of the first half (~1k words) because I'm excited to be writing again now that my wrist is feeling better!

Spoilers, obviously. I'll probably return to finish the second half of what I have written eventually since I only worked on this for like an hour! We haven't even gotten to the best part.

Tairn POV of Chapter 21 of life of spies or Threshing!

‘Come and stay with the golden one until Threshing is concluded,’ Sgaeyl demands. 

Tairn holds back a sound of complaint that will get him in trouble. ‘Why must I attend to her whims when you are already in the valley?’ he asks, even if he is already rising and preparing to take to the sky. He had stayed close, knowing that the young dragon is likely to push her luck after petitioning for the right to enter Threshing. 

Sgaeyl’s answer is more of a snarl than anything else, and Tairn admires the sound as he takes off. His mate is the most fierce she-dragon in the sky and he is in awe of her every day. Even if her taste in bonded ones leaves something to be desired. 

‘Because, my dear mate, I am limited by having a rider in the field and there are humans who would seek to harm her.’ 

Tairn growls and flies faster. ‘Who would dare?’

‘A weak human posturing during Presentation,’ she responds tartly. ‘She is flying in your direction.’

He sends a wave of agreement. Sgaeyl knows she doesn't have to ask Tairn to protect the young dragon they help care for. ‘While you complete patrols?’ 

Sgaeyl sighs tiredly. ‘While I deal with my bonded, who is turning out to be more emotional than expected. I fear he will not calm down until he sees a flash of silver in the skies.’

The black dragon huffs in amusement, having heard about his mate's recent struggles with her rider’s obsession. He uses his superior senses and spots a flash of gold in the distance as Andarna draws closer, nearer to the valley floor. 

‘Is the little human bothering you?’ Tairn attempts. ‘I will help rid you of him if you’d like.’

Happily. 

‘Tairn,’ she snips warningly. 

‘It was just an offer,’ he continues innocently, adjusting his path to meet the small dragon on the ground. 

‘One I will reject,’ she adds. ‘He is simply taken with a human girl. While pathetic, it could prove beneficial in the end.’ 

‘How?’ he asks in disbelief. 

Sgaeyl’s emotions are a flood of uncertainty and pride. ‘His chosen… she is interesting.’

‘An interesting human?’ 

A rare commodity, to be sure. None of the cadets who have crossed the parapet have called to Tairn in the years since the one who came before, and he doubts they ever will again. Not after all that he has lost. 

‘She spies on Navarre, though her motivations are unclear,’ Sgaeyl reminds him. That could be considered interesting. He has heard talk of the girl for years, when the elders predicted her rise as the next Head Scribe. How does a girl training to be a keeper of faulty history end up in this valley, spying on her home country?

Sgaeyl continues. ‘Her body may have been crafted weaker than most, but she does not balk in the face of a dragon.’ 

‘Is that all?’ Tairn asks quietly, sensing there was more to the story. False confidence fills cadets in droves, and many of them do not balk in the face of a dragon simply because they are too stupid or prideful. 

Sgaeyl is quiet for a moment. ‘During the Presentation, when one of the humans threatened Andarna, the silver one he’s obsessed with… she threatened his life for his transgressions.’ 

Tairn considers his words carefully. ‘Perhaps your rider is not useless, if he has chosen an honorable partner.’ 

His mate just scoffs. ‘Perhaps if they were not waiting to claim each other like foolish humans, he would be more bearable. We could not have made it simpler for him.’ 

‘The offer still stands,’ he chuffs in amusement at the reminder, feeling Sgaeyl’s answering wave of annoyance before she retreats from the bond.

Tairn lands by Andarna where she had settled to drink from a lake and greets the small dragon with a press of his wing.

‘I do not need you to watch me,’ she complains fiercely. ‘I am not a hatchling!’ 

The larger dragon pushes back his inconvenient feelings of affection towards the golden feathertail. Ever since the orphaned dragon had forced herself onto him when she was a hatchling, he had become protective of her. She may not have come from his line, but she is still his. 

‘I am not watching you,’ Tairn argues. ‘I am watching everyone else.’

He knows better than most that it’s foolish to trust a human.

Andarna sighs with the weight much larger than her mere four years. ‘Fine, but you must follow me,’ she says, voice dripping in her typical impertinence, and guides him towards a nearby cave entrance. 

‘You said you wanted to watch the proceedings,’ he reminds her. Andarna sends him a wave of annoyance that feels far too much like a human eye roll. He mourns her lack of respect, even as he has no plans to do anything about it. The golden one merely must become a strong enough dragon to justify her impudent and unruly disposition.

Tairn, child of Murtcuideam and Fiaclanfuil and descended from the cunning Dubhmadinn line, follows the small dragon as instructed. 

‘We are going where we must be,’ she says stubbornly and gallops ahead into the dark cavernous space. Tairn sighs tiredly, ducking down to fit through the entrance and following Andarna deeper inside. 

‘We must be in a dark cave with stale air?’ 

Andarna turns to look out into the woods through the cave entrance. Dragons, with their superior senses, can see easily through the trees and shrubbery and they can discern the presence of two pairs of footsteps running in this direction.

An approaching flash of silver through the greenery captures Tairn’s attention and holds it. 

‘Yes,’ Andarna answers. ‘This is exactly where we must be.’

Tairn looks down at the feathertail suspiciously. He is a wise and seasoned war dragon, but even he cannot tell of the future. 

‘And you are… certain about that?’ 

‘I am,’ she answers decisively. ‘Let us retreat into the cave.’ 

Tairn glances at the flash of such an unusual color, belonging to a girl who is so clearly running for her life. ‘Is this about the silver one that Sgaeyl speaks of?’ 

‘Let us retreat into the cave,’ she repeats. ‘Be patient and you will come to see what I see.’

Tairn sends a warning to his mate as he listens yet again, but not before snapping his teeth at Andarna warningly for having the nerve to accuse him of impatience.

I’m brought here due to the intense feeling of dread and doubt I experienced some time after posting my newest Hua Cheng artwork.

This is a gentle cry to the TGCF fandom, I would greatly appreciate your opinions on how I draw Hua Cheng before I stew further in my self doubt. 🥹🙏

•••

The way I draw Hua Cheng is… unconventional. He was my first experiment at surpassing same-face syndrome. But… I already struggled making him look… “normal” when my art-style was semi-realism or highly stylized. Now that I’ve picked up realism… it’s… much harder.

This is a collage of all Hua Cheng works that I felt were presentable enough to use as examples, including some unfinished pieces.

The terrible amount of inconsistency aside, one of my biggest questions remains: Is the way I draw Hua Cheng, ugly? Unappealing? I even worry that he doesn’t look Chinese the more I draw him, despite the fact that I reference real people every time I try and tweak his design.

It’s something that gnaws within me quite often. I feel that it’s cemented by the fact that any time I post a piece featuring Hua Cheng’s face in the spotlight… it hardly gets recognition. It’s left in the shadows.

I could just change how I draw him. I could just make him “normal” like everyone else. But despite all my frustrations, the inconsistency, the doubt and self loathing… all of the flaws I can��t figure out how to fix…

I am deeply attached to how I draw him. It would feel… wrong, to suddenly take all the character I’ve built for his appearance and strip it down to TGCF Donghua levels of basic.

•••

So, here we arrive to the point of this post. Feedback.

I want to hear your opinions. I want to know how you feel about my vision for Hua Cheng. If you can pinpoint something that’s off, if you can suggest anything you think would make him better. Please, please do. My own eyes and brain aren’t helping me better myself, I’m creating this art not just for me to enjoy, but for the fandom as well.

So your opinions matter greatly if it means I can draw a Hua Cheng with a design that I’m able to love, but that you all are able to love as well.

I’m sorry that this post was so long. I hope that doesn’t inhibit it from being seen. If you read this far, and wish to leave feedback, thank you. It’s just been so frustrating getting my design for Hua Cheng to a place I like, but failing so miserably.

[hinamie]

i'm exactly as normal about him as I thought I'd be

[paper-possum-party-pal]

I’ve decided to draw a bunch of people’s Narrators starting with @betrootsoup’s Narrator!

Don’t mind my sona, they’re just a curious fella!

I’m a sucker for split faced designs and love the outfit that @betrootsoup chose for their Narrator! I really hope I did the design justice!

Closeups

And to everyone else out there, watch out!

Your Narrator’s might be next

[journey-to-the-attic]

i meant to post this yesterday and just completely forgot - here's the full version of the cover i made for the wattpad port, by the way!! (i know cross-post is the technically correct term but port is just a fun word to say/type. i don't need to explain myself here)

[vynnyal]

Actually you know what, I'm gonna post this. Check it out, I'm fiddling with this PMV. Spoils the whole game ofc. And the name of the song is pure imagination by Fiona Apple!

Also I'm apparently a big fan of drawing moon laying down 😂 total count including scrapped drawings is 5 (technically 6)

Going to do a Nevermoor series reread in June + July + August ? if anyone else also wants to do a reread around that time, could be fun to have more of the fandom prepping for Silverborn

Did initially make a roadmap plan to split the books up into weeks on top of already being months, so that people could focus on specific parts and discuss each week….. but between the fact that I messed it up the first time, Silverborn kept getting delayed as I planned it, and I’m actually really bad at keeping to stuff like that (looking at you, Silverborn Countdown Challenge…) I’m deciding to just go for it at whatever pace happens.
