No thoughts, head empty, only this one:

Dick + baby fever + jealous + mating press = well hello bed, I love you, lmao

Thinking about male manipulator!dick who begs you to let him hit it raw. He's in your ear saying, "It feels so much better, baby," and "But, if you loved me," whispering all the reasons why you should toss the condoms this time.

You give in, insisting that he at least pulls out, telling him that you're not on birth control and you don't want any surprises. He gives you a phony promise that he won't pull anything and subtly nods his head at your words before finding his way inside you.

His body is pressed to yours, legs over his shoulders as he keeps you folded in half with the sheer weight of his body. Your fingernails leave bright streaks of red down his back, the type of open wound he can't get enough of, and your orgasm reaches its peak as his hips start stuttering. He's close.

"Lemme fill you up, baby," he groans, "Don't you want it?" his pace falters, deep calculated strokes now much more shallow and sporadic. "Come on, I know you do."

Bleary-eyed and in a state of delirium, you nod your head, and he's quick to take his chance before you change your mind. His final stroke hits you deep. Cock twitching inside of you as warm streams of cum fill you up, the complete opposite of what you'd initially wanted.

He's still inside you when he starts placing soft kisses on your face, calling you his pretty girl, and saying how much he loves you. "You'll pick up a plan b in the morning, right?" you ask, and he gives you another phony promise as he gently fucks his cum in deeper.

BROTHERS

The river Weser ran between the Roman and Cheruscan forces. Arminius came to the bank and halted with his fellow chieftains:— "Had the Caesar come?" he inquired.​ On receiving the reply that he was in presence, he asked to be allowed to speak with his brother. That brother, Flavus by name, was serving in the army, a conspicuous figure both from his loyalty and from the loss of an eye through a wound received some few years before during Tiberius' term of command. Leave was granted, and Stertinius took him down to the river. Walking forward, he was greeted by Arminius; who, dismissing his own escort, demanded that the archers posted along our side of the stream should be also withdrawn. When these had retired, he asked his brother, whence the disfigurement of his face? On being told the place and battle, he inquired what reward he had received. Flavus mentioned his increased pay, the chain, the crown, and other military decorations; Arminius scoffed at the cheap rewards of servitude.

They now began to argue from their opposite points of view. Flavus insisted on "Roman greatness, the power of the Caesar; the heavy penalties for the vanquished; the mercy always waiting for him who submitted himself. Even Arminius' wife and child were not treated as enemies." His brother urged "the sacred call of their country; their ancestral liberty; the gods of their German hearths; and their mother, who prayed, with himself, that he would not choose the title of renegade and traitor to his kindred, to the kindred of his wife, to the whole of his race in fact, before that of their liberator." From this point they drifted, little by little, into recriminations; and not even the intervening river would have prevented a duel, had not Stertinius run up and laid a restraining hand on Flavus, who in the fullness of his anger was calling for his weapons and his horse. On the other side Arminius was visible, shouting threats and challenging to battle: for he kept interjecting much in Latin, as he had seen service in the Roman camp as a captain of native auxiliaries.

Tacitus Annals 2.10-11

there's a lot going on in there! Arminius switching to Latin is a detail that always makes me feel a deep kind of sadness, especially with how it's preceded by mention of their mother. I wonder what she thought of what became of her sons, on opposite sides of everything but still, inescapably, brothers. even when they want to kill each other. there sure are a lot of fucked up and unhappy brothers around. and Arminius asking about Flavus' injury............I also had a whole thing typed out about the horror of imperialism and colonization and the trauma of assimilation but I think this sets the tone better

Had a MegaMan on the mind one evening, and it's one I've never drawn before surprisingly, so there he is. I think Juno is such an interesting character, with that aura (and hair) that he has.

(He should be A Lot Bigger in that last shot, oh well.)

I'm on my first read through of Realm of the Elderlings and as a little personal project for myself, I'm taking a scene or small moment from each book in the series and turning it into a comic spread. I've been working on this project since January so I'm catching up a little bit with posts here.

Here's my spread for Royal Assassin. This bit of dialogue stood out to me the first time I read it - I love when the Fool talks in riddles!

"Who knows what will swirl up from the bottom of a stirred kettle?" He went suddenly to my door, and set his hand to the latch. "That is what I ask of you," he said quietly. "To forgo your twirling, Sir Spoon. To let things settle."

"I cannot."

He pressed his forehead to the door, a most un-Fool-like gesture. "Then you shall be the death of kings."

Interest checking somethin' real quick!

*I couldn't think of a better way to word that, but I mean like. If I only opened comissions for stages sketches through flats, but you wanted shading, or something. Or if I end up deciding certain kinds of commissions won't work for me and have to put up restrictions.

The second I'm able I'm probably going to be opening them, so I'm just kinda feeling out where interest lies! I don't know how I'd be pricing things just yet, honestly? My brain seems kinda caught on "$5 for a quick sketch is a good starting point" but we'll see what happens, since I'm uncertain what the reasonable price escalation from there is to me- also, I have a tendency to go overboard on my sketches naturally, so. We'll See.

Another thing that'll probably be coming is a kofi for tips and requests! But do keep in mind that I just specified requests and not commissions- they'd be in no way guaranteed, I'd just feel a little more pressured on account of your kindness lol

Hi! I got gifted a small (40cm wide) rigid heddle loom with a 10 DPI reed for Christmas. It's my very first loom and first experience weaving, I'd like to try to learn twills and dishtowels like what you have on your loom. How heavy of cotton do I need to use to get a drapey towel fabric, or do I need to get a reed with higher DPI? Thanks in advance, I'm reading all I can and I am so so lost haha

Oh that's so exciting! I started on a rigid heddle too, if you are just starting out I would say that the 10 DPI is a great place to start. For that reed I tend to go with more DK/Worsted weights to get a solid fabric, but the thinner you go yarn and/or thread wise it will create a lighter, more flowy fabric due to the increased space between threads.

To make a drapey dishtowel I would suggest using a light fingering weight cotton for the back and forth yarn (your weft) and in the warp go a size up with a heavier fingering or sport (?? I think? I've gotten so used to sizing yarn in weaving terms like 8/2, 2/20 and etc lol)

My favorite dishtowel yarn is 8/2 cotton from Maurice Brassard, but it is a yarn that plays much nicer with a higher DPI, like 12, or 15

My best advice is to try out different combos of yarns you have access to and start making a little sample library. My best advice, label EVERYTHING so you can recreate fabrics that you like. Do not be like past me, young and full of hubris, she who wrote down naught what she did and would have to attempt to re decipher later.

i think i struggle with feeling a lot of sympathy for louis over losing claudia, because he--TO ME, IN MY OPINION--abandoned her a lot sooner than she abandoned him. he tells her, "you and me, me and you," but he doesn't honor that, which she calls him on later in season 2. he brings claudia in under false pretenses and continues to see her not fully as herself, at least, not very often.

and i'm not necessarily....i'm not necessarily ragging on louis about this. i don't resent him for it. i see louis and claudia as a strained mother and daughter, and having that kind of dynamic in which the mother can never really relate to the daughter and the daughter can never really relate to the mother, and yet both are so strongly identified with the other to outside observers. because they are the same, they can't truly connect, but the love felt is unshakeable despite how much it causes a rift.

so when i see posts that touch on the "you and me, me and you" stuff, they don't hit for me in that sense of...oh, what a loss! because I don't really think louis ever meant "me and you, you and me." and if he did mean it, he forgot about it right quick. which again, i'm not really angry at him for.

i'm sick and my brain is foggy, so i'm not explaining this well because it's my first attempt to get the words out. but almost like. almost like a less hateful india stoker/evie stoker. like, in the sense that louis is not designed to parent. he parents not because he truly wants to, but because he needs to for some less generous reason than simply wanting to have a family. and claudia is the one who suffers for louis' caprice. she's made on a whim so louis can feel better and then dropped repeatedly when he does.

but the same way i think evie is a shit mother to india (and they really aren't the best example for this point, i just literally cannot think of anyone else right now) because she just kinda lacks that maternal vibe and especially doesn't know how to handle the way india is so fully her own person, i think louis is a shit mother to claudia for the same reason, like, there are aspects of louis' personality that are baked into him by previous experience (like his brother killing himself and becoming estranged from his family and his whole fucked up history with lestat) and that make it hard for him to connect. and i don't fault him for that, but claudia is the one who has to deal with it.

like just to get back to what i first said, i don't really feel sympathy about louis losing claudia, but i do feel a shit ton of grief and sympathy for claudia herself. i just think louis was never really going to be the mother/father/brother/friend to claudia he might have thought he was going to be, and though he maybe doesn't see or accept that for most of the show thus far, i do. and i don't think he ever meant "you and me, me and you."

(taps mic) so as we all know, conspiracy is a kind of seduction, and actions not taken can be just as loud as the ones that are. so. uh. fellas! hey fellas. heyyyyyy.

like, I was looking at the Dolabella-Caesar-Antony mess yesterday, but something really fun and vicious happened here and I will be rotating it around in my head at maximum volume for the foreseeable future

the red panels are the Assassination of Julius Caesar by Vincenzo Camuccini (the pen and ink drawing, not the painting)

While I was searching for a name for Dain's chimera, I found a pleasant surprise that I thought I'd post it here —and add it as an addendum once the queue runs out, meaning that I'm up to date with reposting all of them individually—. In previous times, I discussed the idea of Dain attaining gnosis (see gnosis as knowledge, not the material item, object of the authority of the Dragon Sovereigns) and being limited due to the curse and corruption he bears (in the post-Genshin verse I established for him, he's free from these). The concept behind Gnosticism is that the higher degree of the [spiritual] enlightenment of an individual, the closer they are to the true god (not the demiurge).

Back to what I discovered, apparently there are 30 planes [Aethyrs] in the process of enlightenment, each of them home to different angels. The one that is the first (it goes from 30 to 1, the 1st being the higher plane of enlightenment) is described as the veil of dark azure full of countless stars, the formula of the Aeon revealed.

Where I want to go with this is the starry pattern that seems to be associated with just a few individuals. Off the top of my head, I can think of Guizhong having this pattern inside her sleeves, Paimon (there are several theories out there, but we can at least agree that she's a special case) and Dain, who is arguably the most "normal" out of the three. This in combination with the knowledge he has of the workings of Teyvat and the potential that he gained a power from beyond, I'm considering to have him be on the highest plane of enlightenment albeit still limited due to the curse and corruption.

Shadows of Fear: Did You Lock Up? (1.1, Thames, 1970)

"And they didn't make much mess?"

"No, not really. They forced that door. Smashed the cabinet, slashed a sofa. And kicked a hole in the bedroom door."

"Ah. Big mistake."

"What is?"

"Never lock inside doors. Anything you can to keep them out - but when they're in, let 'em get on with it."

"I'll remember."
