my smut got infected by a character study so upcoming chapter ft. Lucien reminiscing on life as Speaker and becoming better acquainted with his new Silencer, which will cause problems for no one, never. Also brief Arquen ref because I love and miss her <3

The remainder of the week brings more of the same. They eat together, work together, spar together. Idle hours spent in front of the fire, reading by themselves, alone but together. Lucien allows some sense of normalcy to find him amidst the working hours, taking comfort in the quiet rhythm, the predictability it supplies. In the months he’s been away, Fort Farragut has barely changed. The same faded wool tapestries drape along the walls, earthy scent of stone and beeswax greeting him every time he enters. In the evenings, his Silencer hangs in his periphery like a painting, and when he softens his gaze, she’s a faceless blur before the fire— could be anyone. It’s not so unlike the life he had as Speaker. Calmer. Familiar. The life he had before her.  If only his duties as Listener didn’t chain him to Bravil... Lucien permits himself a thought so irreverent it borders on sacrilege, and though he scolds himself, swiftly sweeps it from his mind, he can’t stave off the plunging dread that fills him at the mere thought of returning home. They spend the late morning preparing the last batch of paralytics to bring to the Cheydinhal sanctuary. Speaker Arquen had offered to come to him, but Lucien can’t stand the thinly-veiled contempt in her eyes every time she visits Fort Farragut. No better than a managed skeever, she'll says with shake of her head and smirk too cold to be teasing, because Arquen hates this place even more than she hates his ramshackle house in Bravil, and it’s an impressive feat, all things considered. Lucien hates Bravil too. Ashamed to admit it, he wishes he liked Arquen more or that she liked him more; he’s unsure which. All he knows for certain is that she is the closest thing to family he has left. Ever since his ascent to Listener, he’s developed a begrudging reliance on her, just the two of them rebuilding the Dark Brotherhood from the ruins of Bellamont’s treachery, and despite the months spent toiling at each other’s side, he’s still not sure she trusts him fully. He’s not sure he trusts her either, but she’s all he has, and for now it’s enough to take comfort in the frigid kinship they've recognized in one another’s merciless sensibilities.

Art wip update

I decided to go full baby and draw Nim as a wee child, so here is a school portrait of her from her days in a daedric cult :)

Hello, I would like to respond to 6727 as somebody who occasionally consumes the type of content op is talking about.

I am a 30-something year old cis bisexual woman. I am lucky to say that barring the usual sexism and minor harassment most women experience, I was never sexually abused so I don't have any sexual trauma that I know of. When I was 7 to 10 I has an intense fascination with sex. Now let me make clear, both in the past and present day I never wished I'd been abused and obviously being a child I didn't realize what sex implicates and that I was years away from even being ready to try it, but a part of me believed I wanted to do it. I would fantasize having sex with grown up celebrities, I would draw people having sex on a secret notebook, I'd pilfer semi-dirty magazines from I don't remember where and cut out pictures of topless and nude models of any gender, stills from dirty movies, miniaturized movie posters where the characters did the do, and make collages in said notebook, those sort of things. I don't know if this is the average experience of any allosexual child, especially a female one, but it is mine. It didn't last long.

I discovered fanfiction and ao3 late by today's standards, in my early 20s. I didn't flock automatically to lolisho. I don't even consume lolisho content that often. What happened is that reading more erotica, some days I would seek fics for, yes, wankbank material. Once again, I didn't end up in the underage tag right away, but eventually by browsing ship tags sorted by word count I was bound to find it. I clicked on the first with a feeling of disgust that I think op shares. That eventually changed. I think people will have realized by now that I don't focus/put myself in the adult's role, but the child's. Reading lolisho allowed me to explore a tiny buried part of my sexuality that I think had gone repressed for a long time, and yes, I could do it without anyone getting hurt.

Shockingly (/s) after almost a decade I never ended up believing that having sex with children or as children is ok. I also developed a mild incest kink and again shockingly, I never came up with the desire to fuck my sibling or any other member of my family. The love of my life knows about this, understands me, and would be willing to try implementing my kinks in our sex life since we've long successfully implemented theirs, but I don't feel the need to ever bring them out of my brain. We don't plan to ever have kids for reasons that have nothing to do with all of the above. I am a normal human with a job, friends and family, well-adjusted as they come, no criminal record, never physically or mentally harmed anyone intentionally or permanently, and my most interesting thoughts when seeing real life children is that they're cute when they're well-behaved, or devil-spawn when they're making a racket.

And yet people like op would call me a pedophile and inherently immoral if they knew what I sometimes imagine, just imagine, during masturbation. When I do not hurt anyone. Fuck's sake, I have been called a pedophile for defending teen student x professor fanfics! Obviously I'm aware that among the lolisho readers and creators there could be real offenders, but the problem here is that people who haven't done anything wrong are all being thrown together with real child molesters and rapists. I am highkey sick and tired of it. I'm even more scared of how so many people believe there is no difference between the two groups.

I'm not even going to address the second point that a ban on lolisho wouldn't affect queer content. I hope op has realized from the replies, if not from the right wing propaganda of these years, how wrong they are about that.

Posting as a response to a previous problem.

Back with another song, this time The Moon Will Sing by The Crane Wives. Another MC and J song, though I largely think of this song because I'm curious if it's possible for MC to have initially not be all that interested in pursuing music as a profession, it largely being a hobby likely due to self-esteem issues, consciously or subconsciously. And for J to have pushed and encouraged the MC to pursue it, implanting the idea that their songwriting and/or singing, regardless of what their strength is, is good enough to actually make not only a living but make it big. Especially with that "J has a habit of deciding things for people" in the tags of the last ask, it feels like that would coincide with the "Tell me once again I could've been anyone, anyone else Before you made the choice for me," along with them only being able to "shine with the light you gave me." That's not even mentioning the very complicated relationship MC could have with their music after J left and "hoarded all that's left of me," since if it wasn't for J, then they wouldn't have pursued it at all. And with C being the only one to pick up the pieces and quite possibly stopping MC from giving up on music, since they aren't sure what was genuine or not, if J only praised their music for some nebulous reason that wasn't tied to it actually being any good, let alone any good to make it big. And for some time after, hating any song they make/made and being overly critical of their singing, despite "wanting to feel the fire That you kept from me." That's all my brain has for how I incorporated some of the lyrics. There are more that I think would fit thematically, but my brain doesn't want to cooperate. Though I feel like if this is a possibility, that C would hate J more than they already do, since in one fell swoop, J almost single-handedly got rid of MC's desire to pursue music, a desire J nourished and brought into existence, yet couldn't or wouldn't be bothered to pick up the pieces of what they broke. At least that last part is what I imagine what C would feel and think; whether J would stick to their guns if they learned that particular part back when it happened would be quite something.

Singing was a big part of MC’s self-discovery process and how they developed their identity and personhood in an environment where they had no other outlets. Even though J was an integral part in the development of their singing/music, they weren't the most important piece.

It’s part of MC’s character that they’re universally incapable of doing anything else with their existence other than singing, not just as a career but as a life. Singing is them, and even without J’s influence pushing them toward it, they would’ve still discovered themselves at the stairs of the stage, waiting for their moment to shine.

MC was out of commission for a bit after the split, but music is their lifeline. Rather than giving it up forever, they clung harder to it than they ever had before. Anyone who read their notebooks from that time can attest that they were not okay lol but their music guided them through it (along with C)

Actually going a little bit insane watching the Black Mirror spin off, Bandersnatch, so enjoy :P. While I’m using actually characters’ names this is gonna be sooo ooc, but it doesn’t matter bcuz there’s no audience for this anyways 😭😭

Mild spoilers for Bandersnatch!!!

Tried to make reader gn, but some of the tension is created by the fact that reader is afab, some references of reader being seen as a girl

Down the Hole

Tags: yandere Colin Ritman x reader, yander Stefan Butler x reader, sexism, gn reader but references towards reader being afab, inaccurate representations of the 80's 😔, only exposition rn

Part one

In the 80’s the gaming sphere was mainly populated by men, so it was nearly impossible for you to find anyone tolerable that shared your interests. If you did manage to join some sort of club, there was less talk of gaming and more disgusting and perverse questions hurled at you. Due to the unwelcoming nature of the gaming field, you simply opted to enjoy video games by yourself.

Coding and producing your own game was something nearly everybody dreamed of – I mean, who wouldn’t want to dip their toes into this new technology. Playing PAC-Man and Tetris (and whatever other Nintendo and Atari games you managed to cough up the money for) led you to craving more. Something new. And what was better than making it yourself? Sadly, not having any peers to discuss the creation process with made even the thought less appealing. Whenever you walked past the computer room on your way out of school (not like any clubs interested you in staying later than you need to, and the one that did were a lost cause) you’d see screens filled with code. It fascinated you. You couldn’t help but resent the boys that were able to assist one another in their journey. You’d never have something like that. The only helping hand you had were books from the library and random pamphlets littering your school halls.

When the days seemed perilous and your inspiration was sapped, you found yourself drawn to the infamous games of Colin Ritman. He was a genius, regularly pumping out innovative and addictive games. With each passing week you slowly left PAC-Man behind and filled your shelves with Colin's pieces of work. Soon, in your waking hours all did was work on your computer or play one of Colin's games. His recent release, Nohzdyve, particularly caught your attention. God, it almost reminded yourself of your own life at this point. You rarely ate, barely slept, and hell—you haven't even taken a step outside of your house in a month. Or-? Has it been a month? More? Less? You were falling. Falling down an infinite expanse of nothing. Completing meaningless tasks that never lead you to a fucking end.

You had to go outside. You weren't going to let a stupid dream project be the death of you. You raced to grab a hoodie that didn’t smell horrendous—when was the last time you did your laundry?? Your feet moved almost too quick beneath you, like if you didn’t make it out the door fast enough you’d be stuck in that’s fucking house forever.

A cool breeze hit your face as you crashed through your front door. It stopped you in your tracks. When’s the last time you breathed fresh air? God, it was wonderful. You continued forward at a leisurely pace, too caught up in your own thoughts to remember locking your door. Not like you knew where your keys were anyways.

Birds sang around you, the sun peeked out of fluffy clouds in a sea of blue, the grass was crisp and green- wait- since when was it summer? Has it really been that long?

Your string of panicked thoughts were cut short when a vibrant poster had caught your eye. Looking around you realized you’d managed to walk all the way downtown, advertisements for job openings and upcoming events plastered on every empty space available. But that poster, two words in specific silenced your brain—Colin Ritman.

It was a competition for aspiring game develops and designers, and in big bold letters it read: “COULD YOU BE THE NEXT BIG HIT WITH YOUR NAME NEXT TO THE COLIN RITMAN?”

It wasn’t even that interesting, not that great of a design. Shit, Tuckersoft wasn’t even that popular of a company. It was small and slowly building its reputation. Hell, you bet you’re the only person all day to even give the poster a glance. Your eyes traced over the details at the bottom in small text, thankfully you didn’t need a complete game���just an idea and see if it sticks. Could you be the next hit? I mean, Colin only has a niche following, you have a chance, right?

Your teeth tugged at your bottom lip as you tore the poster off the brick wall and turned to make your way back home, tucking the paper into you hoodie pocket. How were you gonna have a chance if other people were interested? Plus, you need the info any way and don’t have that great of a memory. What’s one less ad gonna do?

Your nose scrunched as you got a whiff of yourself after a particularly strong breeze, you have some cleaning up to do before you even think about leaving the house again.

Ahhhh!!! How the fuck do you write exposition??? And omg, my first series ever??? I’m so fucking scared??? Sorry there’s no yandere yet :( trying to get something out to hold me accountable and keep my writing! Stayed tuned for more parts :333

Random question, but let's say that Itachi lived right? Like all the way to Boruto, do you think Itachi would probably be that one, almost, father figure to Sarada in a way? Considering since Sasuke has always been away from the two of them (Sakura and Sarada) if Itachi decided to stay in Konoha instead of traveling with Sasuke? Also I wonder how Itachi would react to Sasuke being with Sakura as well, I wonder, what do you think?

Interesting question.

To answer this, we need to consider some major factors that were crucial in shaping their lives.

If itachi lived, he should have the development he did during the war i.e. realizing treating Sasuke like a baby was a bad choice he made all along.

Sasuke doesn't know Itachi is alive. Why would he leave the village in the first place if Itachi was alive?

Itachi doesn't know where Sasuke is. Why else would Itachi stay in the village if he could be with his brother?

Konoha has somehow cleared his name and acknowledged its own crimes against the clan.

Still, I'm going to answer this question with the ideas that are independent of each other and don't need each other to exist (if that makes sense?)

I think Itachi would be a terrible father figure to Sarada. He didn't grow up to lead a normal life full of love and comfort. He was a Shinobi who was trained to kill. That's what he did all his life and he never had the time to be anything other than that. He loved Sasuke a lot, but his expression was thoroughly violent, although under extreme duress, and in a slightly easier life he'd have served better. He doesn't know how to be a normal person. He doesn't understand how to be something that's not a Shinobi and a killer. He was conditioned since his childhood to live a certain way and the change in the lifestyle would not change anything for him. I personally don't see him being able to guide Sarada or be a positive/healthy influence in her life. He can't give anything to her, or anyone, for that matter.

He's way, way too damaged as a person. Even if you include therapy sessions those won't erase his past and what he feels about himself. He can't offer anything in a bonding that isn't with Sasuke. He'd still feel some affection towards Sarada. He has no reason to not like her, but he can't be a parent figure to her. I mean, isn't that the whole reason Sasuke, too, isn't a 'good father' to Sarada? He too is damaged beyond repair.

Some anti-SS content under the cut. No slander or bashing of the characters, but my opinion on why Itachi might not approve of Sakura as his brother's life partner. I'll tag the post accordingly. Please don't read if you're a fan of the pairing.

He will not be overly thrilled about Sakura being in Sasuke's life. Sasuke didn't love Sakura and Sakura never loved Sasuke. She was obsessed with an image of his she found alluring and his absence in her life fed that longing further, making her feel she loved him. He was a trophy for her she was to win in the contest of her rivalry against Ino.

In other words, she had no genuine feelings for Sasuke.

Sasuke, too, never felt any affiliation towards her. Yes, there were some moments he cared about her deeply, but he's genuinely kind and caring towards people. If he loved her he'd be more open about his feelings.

When Itachi met Team 7 in the Kazekage Rescue Arc, he paid no attention to Sakura. His attention was solely on Naruto and was happy to see Naruto had grown so much from the last time they met. There was a reason he entrusted Sasuke with Naruto. And he wouldn't be too pleased to know that Sakura once tried to kill his brother for whom he bore the worst pains and sins in his heart.

That alone would infuriate him. However, it wouldn't matter to him if Sasuke really loved Sakura, because I don't think the Itachi that bid farewell to Sasuke in the war would claim any stakes on him. If Sasuke loved Sakura he would be okay with it, but not trust her. Itachi's brain works in different ways. xD

Itachi would also understand there's a reason his brother doesn't want to be with his family. And his lack of affection towards them would tell him everything. He decided things for Sasuke when he saw him as a child in the past, but won't make the same mistakes again.

I think he'd like Sarada, but won't be extremely fond of Sakura. Though I don't see him being good with kids at all.

Hey! I’ve been meaning to reach out and say hi for a while! Finally, I got a re-blog from you, tysm!! I’ve seen quite a few of your JCW posts (and also your stuff on various fandoms on AO3) and I know you’re quite the JCW fan – me too! Actually, I wanted to message to let you know that I think what you’re doing with the Andy/Revolver fanfic you’re writing is amazing. I read the first chapter a few days ago and am interested to see what you do with the story. The way you are dealing with some very sensitive topics is so well written, and I love the thought you have put into Andy’s character to give him this dark backstory. I’m looking forward to reading the rest when it’s completed, I never do well with chapter by chapter!! Also, well done for being the first to post for the Revolver fandom, I remember a short time back having to do that for the Pachinko fandom and I was nervous as hell. You are a very talented writer for sure, so I know the Revolver one will be a good read. Hopefully you’ll be inspired with Gangnam B-Side too once we see more. Anyway, sorry for waffling on, but if you ever wanna enthuse about JCW feel free to message ❤️ ~ take care 

Hi!! I've also seen your name popping up on AO3 too whenever I go to publish something JCW-related, like oh there's that one other person who loves him as much as I do😊lol I watched Worst of Evil last October and just fell completely in love him/ haven't been able to get back out of the obsession spiral since then thanks to pretty much every work he's done being worth watching. I don't expect the fixation to end any time soon haha

I'm genuinely so happy to receive feedback on my Revolver fic! Before I started posting, I made peace with the fact that it wasn't going to get much engagement since I had to create the fandom tag myself, but of course I do want some people to read and enjoy it. I was also fairly nervous about approaching those sensitive topics, so it's a relief to know that the way I'm presenting it doesn't feel offensive or tactless. It's always my intention to show the dark sides of human nature and relationships in a compelling but empathetic way. I couldn't stop thinking about the crumbs they gave us about Andy and Grace's relationship after I finished watching the movie, especially that final scene on the mountain when he begs her not to leave him and Madam Jung's comment to Suyeong that there's "rumors that he's her lover." She doesn't even allow people to know he's really her mom, which in and of itself could be pretty damaging to someone's development, but it seemed to me that the toxicity between them goes further than just this secret. They were clearly manipulating each other in that moment when she starts to walk away and then he cries and begs her not to leave. I thought that it seemed as if they had been through this type of push-and-pull before, a vicious cycle from which there is no escaping, and I really wanted to examine what had led up to that point.

It also really struck me that even though Andy is a privileged, wealthy person, he is drinking alone when Suyeong first meets him. Nobody rushes to his rescue when she's beating him and nobody really cares that he got hurt afterward (not even Grace, she's just mildly annoyed!) While it's true that his behavior invites getting his ass kicked, I think that anyone acting with such conscious disregard of their own life and everyone else's might have serious trauma that has never been addressed. Anyway, I totally understand waiting to read the fic until it's complete and I hope you enjoy the rest once it's done. I'll be updating weekly, so it shouldn't be too much longer.

Also, absolutely yes about Gangnam B-Side. I watched the first 2 episodes on Wednesday evening and my brain is already tickling with many thoughts about Gilho. As always, JCW is delivering a performance full of depth and nuance 🖤 I'll wait until the show has finished airing and I have all the character details to start writing but atm I can almost guarantee there will be some fics coming from me!

[gordonzola-ramen]

My mutual @alectricblue tagged me in this game tag! I normally dont do these, but I thought it'd be nice to get to know me more (and also meet y'all if you wish to participate)!

It will be long though. Sorry

1. Were you named after anyone?

Was originally gonna be named Andrea after a ballerina my grandma liked! Sadly no one remembered her well, not even grandma, so I don't know much about her.

My deadname was simply just chosen bc it was easy to pronounce, as well as my chosen name Diego (it's what I would've been called had I been male), although when I chose it for myself I liked the JoJo character Diego Brando so there was some correlation there.

Funnily enough, people think I'm nicknamed Lio after the Promare character, but I hadn't met them yet.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Yesterday. At 11pm. Watching OR3O's One Piece song. It was nostalgic ok

3. Do you have kids?

Nope. There's an absurd amount of reasons I don't want them, although not a single one is because I dislike them. I've had to babysit many kids and they've all been very sweet.

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

Oof, my recent sports is taking my dog for a walk. But I used to like volleyball and kickball! And reluctantly played soccer and did swimming! Sports give me a lot of anxiety and i'm not sure why.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

I do a lot of teasing and lighthearted banter that can sometimes be considered sarcasm?

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Their eyes! Or anything outstanding like cool hairstyles or visible tattoos.

With online people, I mostly recognize them by pfp or a vague mental pronunciation of their username.

7. What's your eye color?

Dark brown?? Or black??

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Honestly, whatever makes me think more. Unhappy endings tend to do that more though, so I guess scary movies! But of course it depends on the mood, sometimes I just want a nice story to cheer me up.

9. Any talents?

I've been told I am talented at the piano! And music in general, although most of my skills feel less like talent and more like just studying the thing.

10. Where were you born?

So I was born in the US, in Florida, but my entire family is from Costa Rica and I just happened to be born while my parents were studying abroad. I don't remember much from the US though, I came back to CR with my grandma in my first months because she was less busy than my parents, and then they came to live here again. So in my eyes I've been a true Costa Rican since always hehe

11. What are your hobbies?

Playing the piano! Also drawing sometimes (I like to color more than draw, but unless I get my hands on a coloring book I can't do that unless I draw), playing videogames (mostly RPGs and visual novels), and doomscrolling.

12. Do you have any pets?

YESSSS my beloved dog Mia!!!!!!!!!!! I love her so much, she escaped her abusive home and we found her while walking around a plaza, said hi, and she followed us home. She's been with us for 8 years now and I adore her. Reference below because how can I not show her off:

13. How tall are you?

Excellent question. I forgot but I'm average if that helps!

14. Favorite subject in school?

It changed over the years, in senior year it was English because we had my favorite teacher! I knew him for years because he has a literature club I partook in, so I was very happy to have classes with him. Plus, we saw the Oresteia, which goes tremendously hard especially when your teacher geeks out about all the symbolisms.

Apart from that, computer class! We barely ever had it, and almost had it cut out entirely in senior year, but the few times we did I really enjoyed programming and practicing typing! And when we didn't do anything we could play so.

15. Dream job?

I want to make my own videogame! So I'd say a game developer, although being a part of any videogame, especially RPGs, would be a dream come true.

Well thank you for reading, I hope that was some insight, it was very fun to reply!

[splashesdarling]

if there were any follow ups to san francisco before dubai, i can see louis keeping tabs on daniel's career and maybe armand observed this or was more involved. also i agree, people are constantly undermining loumand (and danlou) to prop up dm or read into every dubai scene with armand as him infatuated with daniel, when that vampire has other priorities that are related to louis. it's repeated several times how he did not want daniel to actually be there and louis is the one who insisted that daniel stay. also armand describing daniel "fumbling" his recorder with scorn.

armand extracting details about daniel's history isn't necessarily a guarantee that they were having some past affair. he could have easily looked through daniel's mind with his powers like when he was breaking down daniel the first time in san francisco. louis searched through daniel's mind as well when talking about alice.

when the showrunner was asked about dm, he seemed annoyed they were getting so many questions about that relationship and said they have not even gotten to that part of the books yet. so likely it will be shown developing on screen when they get closer to qotd plot. who knows? maybe they'll end up doing a retcon, but personally i'm not convinced that there was past dm romance.

Yeah, it was established as early as the literal pilot that Louis has been keeping tabs on Daniel ever since they met - "I've been following your career with some interest since our last meeting. Please allow me to congratulate you on all your successes, those professional and those personally redemptive."

Louis' the one who sent Daniel the tapes of their first interview and a handwritten letter asking him to come for a second interview. And across the two seasons he's mentioned passages/quotes from Daniel's various books, meaning he's probably read all of them. It's not really up for debate.

As for whether Armand was also keeping tabs on him? Likely, but the show will no doubt definitively answer that for us in the future seasons.

And the rest? Fandom's gonna fandom. I agree with all you said, and all I can offer is: Filter tags and block ppl for your own peace and online experience - doesn't matter what takes/theories annoy you or I or anyone else, what matters is what the show actually does with these characters/relationship and in the case of A/D it remains to be seen.

Uno! Please! TMNT: Last Ronin Uno x Original Female Character Summary: Uno just wants to make Alice feeling the desire he has for her. Tags: Smut (Kinda), Aged-Up Characters, Original Character, Love Confessions, Friends to Lovers, Kissing, Oral (F), Not beta read, cock blocked by family A/N: Yes, I know he is a teenager in the comics, but I aged him up to make this work since we do it for the original boys. Don't see why I can't do it for Uno. But this is like a fevered dream, so sorry!

“Fuck! Uno!” Alice screamed as her hands shot to his bald head, digging her nails into his white scales as she cums for the second time that evening. Grinding against the tongue that licked up and down her folds, collecting not only her juices but the white cream that now painted his large muscle. Dipping in and out of her cunt, as she continued to ride her high. “That’s it, cum for me, baby.” He mumbled against her clit as the words caused her head to snap back as another cry left her lips. Filling the apartment that smelled of popcorn, and freshly made pizza.

The pair were close, friends since they first met all those years ago. Bonded by video games, and all things ninja, and for a while the two left it at that. Alice ignored the thoughts that would sneak into her head late at night when she worried about him, while Uno yearned for her, and grew jealous when she dated anyone that wasn’t him. But in this moment on the couch, as the title screen for some movie that they were looking at before Uno had stolen a kiss from the girl that now laid before him as a woman. He gripped her thighs as she struggled against his tongue, well beyond overwhelmed by the feeling of his skilled tongue that he had used on previous partners. Partners that failed to taste as good as Alice does, she was both bitter and tasteless, a hint of her diet in her juices.

He pulled back only for a moment, admiring the cunt that pulsed around nothing, and the pretty pink color the had developed on her folds since he had started to eat her out. Uno’s eyes flickered up to Alice’s face, catching her wiping the tears away as she trembled from the pleasure he had sent through her body. Groaning as he squeezed her thighs that he still held onto, his knees growing sore but he wasn’t done yet. As he had been thinking about this moment for as long as he had first thought about her during his mating season when they were teens. Porn had helped him get an idea of what human women might like, and he implied it to Alice with amazing results.

She reached out, her fingers spreading as they touched his plastron that caused his head to fall back, a whimper escaped his lips as she carried on. “Uno, what would everyone think? We—we are friends, right?” She asked as her hand moved further down, the lower she got, the more he moaned. “No, I want more, I don’t care what they think!” He shouted as his head snapped back to in front of him. “Alice, I want you, do you want me too?” His leaned forward, leaning towards her lips as his hovered over hers. “God yes!” And without him pleasuring himself or her doing the work, he felt himself drop.

It was then that he sensed something that caused him to quickly cover each other up with a random blanket that Alice had carried out of her bedroom at the start of their hang out. And with only seconds to spare, Uno's siblings came through the unlocked window that was large enough for them to get through--including his tallest sibling. Moaning under his breath as Alice rubbed against his twitching erection. Where he grabbed her hand and shook his head no, as his sisters carried on about the odd smell that filled the living room, and how it almost ruins the smell of the pizza that was left on the counter to cool off. "Yeah, sorry guys, I might need to mop or something." She struggles to speak as one of Uno's fingers slipped under the blanket and rubbed small, and painfully slow circle before pulling away. "I will rock your world, but it's after they are gone." He whispered in Alice's ear, making her bite her lip as his young sister entered the living room with a slice or two for the pair.

Comment, Reblog, and Heart!

[bardic-tales]

I was tagged by the wonderful @nightingaleflowlibrary for this author interview tumblr game.

When did you start writing?

I don't remember the very first story that I wrote, but I imagine that I was quite young. I have always gravitated towards writing, as it allowed me to express myself in a way that I couldn't otherwise. I wrote my first full-length novel when I was 8 or 9. The exact age escapes me. It was around 50 k words and full of cliches, as to be expected.

Are there different themes or genres you enjoy reading than what you write?

Not really. I tend to read books in the genre that I write for. Even if I am writing fan fiction now, my fan fiction can be classified as dark fantasy. I do have romance playing a huge part of Fantasy Worlds Collide, though. Oh. There is one genre that I love to read but it's hard for me to write for: gothic romance.

Is there a writer you want to emulate or get compared to often?

I don't think there is a writer that I get compared to a lot in terms of my style. However, my worldbuilding gets compared to Tolkien in the sheer depth of it. I have taken those 'who do I write like' tests and I get anywhere from Stephen King to David Foster Wallace. If anyone has any opinions on who I write like, I would love to hear their opinions.

Can you tell me a bit about your writing space?

I typically write in the living room on my desktop. I used to write laying in bed with my laptop. My current writing space includes my an organizer for my writing supplies, a shelf that is stock full of dictionaries and thesaurus, action figures of the two main love interests of Fantasy Worlds Collide (Sephiroth and Sesshomaru), and the urn of the cat who passed on last year. Loki was my writing buddy and it felt strange to write without him.

What's your most effective way to muster up a muse?

As I write fan fiction, I tend to watch gaming videos of the world that I am writing about. I must seen the start of Rebirth now 100 times. No joke. It helps me immerse myself in that world and soon the creative juices start flowing. If this doesn't work, I go and read some of my short stories I've written.

Are there any recurring themes in your writing? Do they surprise you?

The most obvious that comes to mind is trauma. I tend to work through my trauma by writing about it. I like exploring about love and relationships, fantasy, transformation, fate, and the true nature of good and evil in my work. No. It doesn't surprise me since I have been writing for more than 20 years.

What is your reason for writing?

I have a deep visceral need to write and create worlds. I have these ideas and stories that are inside of me, begging to be release. I write for myself, as I learned that I am the only one who will be able to develop the story that I want. I am glad that people like Bianca, and it does motivate me, but at the end of the day, Fantasy Worlds Collide is for me. This is a story 27 years in the making, as that is when I first developed Bianca's character in the winter of '97.

Is there any specific comment or type of comment you find particularly motivating?

While I love ever comment I get, the one that has particularly stuck with me are the ones that tell me that the character I am writing for should be canonized. I get this comment by strangers and by my friends. It doesn't matter the fandom or the content. I recently had someone tell me that they now ship Bianca with Sephiroth, and this actually made me cry. To think that someone likes my writing enough to actually share in my joy of that romance.

I always try to temper these comments that if said OC was in canon that they most likely would be very different than what I write. Honestly, I don't know how to respond to those comments.

How do you want to be thought about by your readers?

I want to be thought of someone who can write well enough that their characters can live and breath in the world that they are writing for. I also want to be remembered as a fan fiction author whose works are coherent enough that they don't need to have played the game or watch the movie that the piece is from. I get this a lot too. I had a reader actually turn into a Witcher fan and bought all 3 games after reading my fan fiction on it.

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?

My greatest strength as a writer is my ability to craft deep, emotionally complex characters and relationships. I love to weave intricate character dynamics that explore love, pain, loyalty, and betrayal while trying to balance that with grand themes like power, destiny, and sacrifice. My attention to the finer details of my characters gives them a sense of realism and depth. As such, I feel like my ability to explore both the internal struggles and external journeys of my characters (including canon ones) tries to create a compelling narrative. Or that is what I hope comes across.

How do you feel about your own writing?

I have days that are ups and downs when it comes to my own writing. As I have AVPD, I often have imposter syndrome. My accomplishments are there, such as my self-published books and the Daily Deviant reward I received, but there are times I don't feel 'good enough'.

I, also, have aphasia and will often struggle with words and phrases. It impacts my speech and writing at times. There are times where I will mix up words or add strange phrasing. A running joke between my husband and I was 'I care for you pretty a lot'. I wasn't trying to be cutesy, since I wanted to be like 'I care for you a lot', but it came out that way. When my aphasia is 'acting up' using when I'm tired, I tend to be very self-conscious about my writing.

Then, there are days where I feel like I am a wonderful author. These are the days where I feel like my writing is very well-written. During these days, I go back and re-read my works, as I had said that the only one who will tell my story the way I want is myself.

Get to know your character

Well, actually, it's more like "Let other people get to know your character."

I was tagged by @gwilin-stay-winnin, who chose an NPC, and I couldn't resist. There aren't any real rules here; you could use an NPC or one of your own OCs.

I love these sorts of questions because they help me put more thought into my character development. And we all love to talk about our favorite NPCs or our incredibly amazing and unique OCs!

I'll put just the questions at the bottom so you don't have to work too hard to participate. (Answering the questions is time-consuming enough!)

And share! The more, the merrier!

questions by @wisteria-lodge

_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–

Your character's name/gender/race:

Miranja Laurentius / female / half-Imperial, half-Nord

Your character's go-to drink order?

Miranja likes sweet drinks, so she usually goes with mead - but it has to be plain Nord mead or Honningbrew mead because fuck Maven Black-Briar.

Their grooming routine?

Miranja is pretty low-maintenance. She bathes at least once a day depending on what she's been up to (adventuring, getting busy, that time of the month). She keeps her nails short, keeps her hair braided when traveling or wearing armor, only really bothers with makeup when she's spending time in town or having a tryst. Her green face paint that helps to cover the scar on her cheek becomes a permanent tattoo at some point (haven't decided when it will happen, but it will certainly be in Riften - doesn't it just seem like the kind of town that would have a tattoo parlor?). She likes to keep her teeth clean because kissing is one of her all-time favorite activities.

What is their most expensive purchase? Where does their disposable income go?

Not sure if it would technically be a purchase, but after the Empire claimed Windhelm, she donated an initial 5,000 septims to the Grey Quarter restoration project, and set up a coffer to build an Argonian community across the river from the docks, across the road from the farms. Lots of open real estate there.

She gives to beggars that aren't rude (coughDegainecough), and she likes to buy little gifts for people, especially her parents, friends, and lovers, but anyone who seems like they could use a pick-me-up. She bought Hrefna some art and journaling stuff (mentioned in Hrefna's Crush - Hrefna is near and dear to Miranja's heart because Miranja and Sondas are lovers).

Any scars? Tattoos?

A 3" long vertical scar on her left cheek, starting under her eye. It makes her look kinda badass, but what she doesn't tell people (unless they specifically ask) is that she got it from an overzealous dog who jumped at her and scratched her pretty hard when she was about 10. She should probably have a lot more scars due to the dangerous nature of her life in Skyrim and on Solstheim, but I chalk it up to either healing spells or wearing good armor. Other than the green face tattoo mentioned above, she doesn't have any tattoos... yet. But now that I think of it, I bet she'd like to get a little something to commemorate a certain someone who shall remain unnamed for those who haven't read Dalliances with Dunmer yet. Something subtle, so as not to be offensive to any future serious boy/girlfriends.

When was the last time they cried? What was the context?

I guess that would depend where in her story line we want to talk about. Miranja does very little crying before the life-changing event on Solstheim, but she's done a lot of crying since then. The civil war tore out her heart, threw it on the ground, and stomped it into mush, and she not only cried but cut during that ordeal. She's in a dark but numb place right now, feeling irreparably tainted.

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest, or only child?

Miranja is the only child of an ex-Legionnaire father and a Nord healer/mage/alchemist mother. They had her rather late in life due to her father being away a lot during his time in the Legion. They never talked down to her or truly treated her like a child. They encouraged her thirst for knowledge and were proud of her loving, outgoing nature. Of course, they didn't know about her teenage escapades with a couple of the randy, persuasive young men in and around Bruma, but they did know about her "official" boyfriend, a handsome Bosmer named Arendor. And Mama (not Da) knew about the herbal tonic she got from the sisters at the Temple of Dibella to prevent pregnancy, because once Miranja brought the recipe home, Mama made it for her and showed her how to improve it with a little alteration magic.

Describe the shoes they're wearing.

If she's not decked out in full armor for adventuring, she prefers soft leather ankle boots that are easy to put on and kick off. If she's relaxing at home, she's usually barefoot. Not that that happens very often.

Where do they sleep? What is it like?

Miranja sleeps in a lot of places (and not because she's the Slutty Dragonborn). She's slept in caves,mines, Dwemer ruins, every inn in Skyrim (and the Retching Netch on Solstheim), and every home she's bought or built in Skyrim and Solstheim. She likes to have lots of pillows to support her neck and use for snuggling, and she actually prefers straw and furs over stuffed mattresses and linens. Probably the primal Nord side of her. She's into primal. :-D

Their favorite holiday/celebration/tradition?

TBH, I hadn't really delved into Tamrielic holidays until now. A cursory glance at the UESP page would have me say: 16th Sun's Dawn - being both Heart's Day AND Sanguine's summoning day. Also, if I had been aware of the Old Life festival before writing the chapter "Getting down to (Imperial) business," that DEFINITELY would have been a thing, since it involves writing letters to departed loved ones.

Miranja does like to observe birthdays and anniversaries whenever possible, but she tends to feel like there's always something to celebrate, even if it's just living through another day.

What objects do they always carry around with them?

Personal care: several changes of smallclothes and socks, spare set of under-armor clothes, green dress, amulet of Dibella, tin hand mirror, charcoal & a jar of dried snowberries, lavender-scented dwarven oil, spare leather thongs for tying hair, soap, washcloth, towel, rags for menses, 3 healing potions, 3 cure disease potions, birth control tea herbs.

This question comes to me not more than a week or two after I made a list of everything in Miranja's backpack - haha! So here's the list:

First and foremost: the pocketwatch her parents sent her, with a tiny portrait of them inside, and the bonehawk amulet she made for Talvas.

Other: journal, ink, 3 quills, flute

whetstone and oil wrapped in oilcloth

empty jars for non-solid alchemy ingredients

alchemist's satchel

It's a big backpack, okay? And probably a little magical, like Hermione's bag. How else would she carry all those weapons and extra armor she picks up during her adventures?

Shipper Tag Game

I was tagged by the lovely @tj-dragonblade , thank you!

What ship were you completely obsessed with as a teenager, but now you don’t care about anymore?

As a teenager... well, that was quite a while ago lol. I suppose that would have been Harry/Draco. First fandom, first queer pairing, first smut stories. I was such a sweet sweet summer child XD The early 00s were wild

Which ship would you consider your first one?

Soooo. Funny story. Way back when, I got into fanfiction via fanfiction.net. You know how their filter system is bad/non-existent? Yeah. Little me, on her first outing to ffnet, didn’t know how to operate the character settings. I clicked on the first story on the top of the first page of the HP section. It was a Snape/Hermione star-crossed lover deal. It flash-fried my brain, taught me content curation in a crash course and incidentially made me partial to the ship for quite a few years...

Your first fanfic was about which couple?

See above lol. I will never ever forget the experience. I tried to find that story later for downloading (like an ugly beloved keepsake ig lol) but never managed.

If you mean fanfic I've written: it was gen.

Do you remember the first couple you saw fan art of?

Kakashi/Obito

Have you ever gotten into ship discourse?

Nope. Scraped by a few times since I entered the tumblr bubble but managed to stay out of it. I don’t get the point. It's freaking fictional characters in fictional worlds. Go touch grass or something instead... (but you will make me fucking mad if you try to drag me into these things with wild ad hom accusations based on what i ship or dont ship)

Did you used to have a NOTP or have one currently?

No, not really. It's only ever preferences. There are some I dislike due to my own hc/inability to suspend my disbelief but I wouldn’t call them NOTPs. I just don’t read them.

Who were the last couple in the last fanfic you read?

Dreamling

Currently, do you have any OTPs?

I actually dislike the term OTP. It's a scale of preferences for me. There are few (read: none) fav characters that I can only see with one love interest (and anyway, sometimes i do prefer plot over love story. wild take i know) and the more time I spend in a fandom the more I diversify.

Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting into?

I don’t get this question, sorry. If I'm interested, I'll search it out. Even if the fandom is old. AO3 is an archive for exactly that reason.

Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they’re kind of interesting?

Not that I can think of, at the moment!

Do you have any ship that, in the past, would have been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?

Probably? I'm not clear on what all one is getting cancelled over this week/month/year by which group of 'concerend bystanders'. I suppose I might get cancelled for the mentioned Hermione/Snape?

What is your favourite crack ship?

I'm so glad you asked. It's clearly Dream/Helm (thank you for that @writing-for-life ) Or Gollum/The One Ring (thanks go to Neil himself here). Or - actually, never mind lol.

What is the couple you read the most fanfics about?

At the moment it's Dreamling. But I cycle through fandoms/pairings periodically...(btw im looking for more Johanna/Death? If anyone could point me in the right direction?)

What do most of your ships have in common?

At least one character has a dark/unknown/violent/tragic past (they can be victim or perpetrator!!! I'm all for character development babey)

What do you absolutely hate in a ship?

I don’t hate ships? As I said above. Possibly the reduction on 'I can fix him/her' or 'my love will save him/her from depression/"the darkness"/etc.' but that is mostly a matter of the author's style of crafting characterization and plot and has nothing to do with the ship itself.

20 Questions For Fic Writers

I was tagged by my dear friend @thevampireauthoress on this post ! I tag all the fic writers who follow me and see this because I want to see what you guys are up to!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Five! I write every day but only started posting fan fic a year ago and I have more I'm cleaning up to post!

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 36,380

3. What fandoms do you write for?

A Lot. If post about it odds are I've written something about it in some form or another.

The ones I have public fics for are DmC: Devil May Cry and ATLA. I frequently write for World of Warcraft (mostly ocs) privately though and have been making my way back to TF2, Borderlands, and Bioshock works lately.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Since I have only five I can give the whole rundown asdfghj the Zutara fics are, unsurprisingly, the heavy hitters

An Inexact Science

Detours

Pinky Promise

Crossroads of Catharsis and Contemplation

A Series of Mild Prophesies

Also the stats chart cracks me up:

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! I get to most of them! Sometimes when a fic is older and someone just leaves a short little 'this was nice!' or whatever, I don't respond but other then that I do. I get very excited when anyone likes any of my works asdfghjkl

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Uh...probably Swan Song, which is yet to be posted. Swan Song will definitely probably have the solidly most angst filled ending.

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Just limiting myself to what's already posted on AO3, anything in the Circumnavigators of Celestial Bodies series so far has had pretty happy endings. It's not tinged with the like dramatic irony of anything in Drafting A Swan and both fic's thus far in Circumnavigators end on fairly positive notes I think

8. Do you get hate on fics?

As of now, no

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I have but I haven't published any of it yet and I'm not sure I will ever. My favorites to write are definitely monsterfucking related, followed by more general kink but like monsterfucking is the best to write.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I am an avid lover of crossovers, particularly crazy crossovers. I feel like I have several contenders for the most crazy.

First up would be the massive multi fandom high school au my girlfriend and I developed containing like every video game we liked at the time which I still sometimes write because I find the character dynamics fascinating but I doubt, due to the highly niche nature of this crossover, that it'd ever see the light of day (if you ever wanted August Borderlands and Rachel Amber Life Is Strange to talk on the roof of a trailer in the trailer park they both live in though, I am the gal to ask I guess because boy do I have that and I will provide)

Second up would be in a similar vein but like somehow even less attached to any of the serial numbers qualifying it as fan fic. That one is set in a Bioshock AU where Rapture lasted until the 80s somehow under different leadership. It is also a massive multi fandom AU but this time with gang warfare under the sea in a very AU'd version of Rapture. Similarly, it will never see the light of day with the serial numbers attached because it is just so niche as it is that like...I have no idea who would want to read that asdfghjkl I rarely write it anymore despite loving a lot of the concepts and dynamics, and I feel like it'd just be more effective to just rip off the remaining serial numbers and let it be free if I ever wanted to publish it somewhere.

Third craziest is perhaps less crazy but just very weird. But I have an ongoing series of fics where Brigid Tenenbaum from Bioshock 1 and Booker Dewitt from Bioshock Infinite just sort of hang out in this space beyond time and space and just get very cerebral about their oddly parallel lives and similar traumas because a hill I will die on is that they are the parallels of one another between those games, not anyone else. They're very written 'For Fabdante' so they are not very polished and I call them 'Bioshock Void Fics'

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I am aware of

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I am aware of

13. Have you ever co-authored a fic?

When I was waaay younger yes! Those are really old and locked away on fanfiction.net though.

14. What is your all time favourite ship?

Vergil and Kat/Verat from DmC: Devil May Cry. They are my everything.

15. What is a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I never want to say never because I do intend to finish these things but here's two:

I have this ATLA fan fic tentatively titled Avatar Champloo which isn't exactly a crossover, more just like an Avatar story featuring the Ba Sing Se kids (Jet, Zuko, and Jin) that plays homage to the vibes and general essence of Samurai Champloo, extrapolating on the already very heavy Samurai Champloo vibes of ATLA. Samurai Champloo is like one of my all time favorite shows so living up to it has been a tall order for me and I fear I will never finish this fic asdfghjk.

I have a few Zelda/Zelgan WIPs that I fear I will never finish. One being a very long one shot based off the idea of a Zelgan romance from the perspective of a bodyguard Link which I'm really fond of, but just have a lot of trouble editing. To give perspective, it was the first fic I ever considered publishing on AO3. And it's still not done to satisfaction for me and thus, not my first fic on AO3.

Obligatory Swan Song (my really long multichapter DmC: Devil May Cry, Verat based, prequel) mention. I don't doubt I'll finish it one day exactly, but when that day will be is far beyond my comprehension asdfghjk

16. What are your writing strengths?

Uh...ngl I have no idea lmaooooo I like how I handle small moments, I guess. Most of what I like to write is small moments between people, and I think I'm pretty ok at that. I'm good at rambling.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Writing multichapter things, I feel. Because I like small moments too much, I struggle to keep things relevant I feel. The biggest issues with Swan Song, I think, are just there being a lot of useless scenes. I struggle a lot with knowing how long scenes should be in something thats more then a one shot and how to transition between those scenes effectively.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fic?

I don't know any other language confidently enough to write it, so it's not something I ever do nor have an opinion on. I do write a lot of multilingual characters, and when I do I just tend to write the dialogue in italics then notate that the character is now speaking another language in the descriptor so that the reader knows what the italics mean.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Probably ATLA when I was a waaay younger. Writing Circumnavigators has been a return to my roots, I suppose, asdfghjk

20. Favourite fic you've written?

My favorite posted fic is definitely Crossroads of Catharsis and Contemplation. It's got everything for me and is exactly the type of thing I love to write the most.

Unposted? Depending on how it goes, I might have a runner up that is a preboot DMC fic which is a grunge band AU told through excerpts from a biography novel and the interviews within about said grunge band. Similarly, it has everything for me and is exactly the type of thing I love to write asdfghjkl

Thank you again for tagging me!! And once again, I mean it when I say please count yourself as tagged by me if you want to answer these because I really, really would love to see what you guys are writing!!

I’ve been eyeing some trade apprenticeships. Umm, but if we’re dreaming? I honestly I would really like to do something fun and social, like something in theatre for a while, improv? plays? and then move onto something less grueling and unhealthy. Maybe making elaborate art instillations, like in MeowWolf, would be really great. If we’re REALLY shooting for the moon, then a very lucky lazy investor. 

Oh I WILL say if I were to develop a magic routine, I’d really like to have a lifting element to it. It’s not the most practical with today’s clothing and items we tend to have on us, and it has the potential to make the volunteer very angry, but I’m just so ridiculously charmed by it idk.
