Reading a fic that's so well written I wish I could close my eyes and just let the descriptions and atmosphere wash over me, but the dilemma with closing my eyes is, well, I then would not be able to continue reading this fic, now would I.

Hey so none of us like art theft right :)

So let me give everyone a friendly little reminder that if you take heavy inspo from another artist's piece or design(s), you should give them a little bit of credit in the caption of your art upload.

It hurts absolutely nobody, it won't impact your engagement, it helps out the other artist and it avoids unnecessary conflicts and upsets caused by not crediting them.

You wouldn't like it if somebody ripped off your art or designs 1:1 practically - so don't steal from other artists and get credit for their ideas. Instead just make it so both of you can benefit. Extra points if you contact the artist and ask if you can make designs or pieces inspired heavily by theirs or redraw them etc etc

Light inspo is different obviously but I think some people have forgotten what that is lol.

my fave thing about the wad polaroids tumblr account is the way so many of the twitter people have kpop-related usernames... when im on twt and see a new pola i don't register whether the op is a kpop stan too bc my tl is full of it (and dnp) regardless but on tumblr the username is the first thing i notice

being a kpoppie really convinced us to not even blink before buying a merch item just because it comes with a silly little photocard 💀

ik its ultimately harmless behavior and that no one on the internet today uses that sort of general etiquette anyway, but it's still wild to me when people make posts that roughly amount to "i don't ship this." and then specifically tag the ship name so it shows up in that ship tag. like... who in this tag do you think wants to see this dkjlskdjslk

[fluffle-writes]

I wanna. Pick them up in my mouth and shake 'em around like a dog obliterating a squeaky toy

[hell0mega]

i understand disliking or getting upset over things but commenting stuff like "ugh i wish everybody didn't put romance on a pedestal" "why does everyone make this a romantic ship" "what about platonic pairings" directly on posts that are about romance is like. really rude, still. like please feel free to complain and rant that your favorite platonic ship is being romanced and sexualized to hell and back but if you're commenting directly onto someone's normal post about them liking something romantic, that's just? rude? like, that post wasn't made for you, then. what do you stand to gain from commenting "i wish this wasn't romantic" on someone's romantic post? that they'll feel bad for not agreeing with you? that they'll change their mind and start platonic shipping them instead? idgi

Things have been somewhat rough at home, so I’ve opened up temporary writing commissions for anybody interested.

500-1000 words for £20 1000-2000 words for £40

I won’t be doin more than 2k words (for the time being) due to work and time management - if I write more by nature of the prompt, this won’t be included in the cost.

Payment upfront, fic complete upon 1-3 weeks of request. 3 slots available. Feel free to dm for updates or progress on the commission. Let me know if you want me to publish or keep as private fic for you.

I will not write nfsw, hardcore guro, incest, anything suggestive involving minors. Commissions have to be a fandom I know of - can discuss this in DMs if need be. If I don’t think I can do the requested story or characters, I may reject or ask to change reqs.

If all slots are taken I may shortlist any reqs until I have more free time. Samples of my fics are available upon request. Please message me or send an anon and I can provide my discord or discuss any of this in private. Thank you!!

Is it really a good ship if you can't imagine the masochism tango to it?

[civilization-illstayrighthere]

there is a special place in my heart for sir john phallusstaff not just because its a dildo and i will forever be early years saints row / gta brained beavis and butthead chortling over dick and fart jokes. but it makes me so wistful. back in my day I’d have to turn on tony hawks underground and put in the perfect continuous grind cheat and find a circular bowl and then mr hawk and my trusty see through green madcatz ps2 controller became my first vibrator. the youth these days just have to take out a weapon you dont even have to scour a game faqs magazine to find the cheat code.

Day 7: Flustered

Tickletober 2023 - RELIC - Smash & Grab - lee!Simon

[see my other tickletober 2023 fics]

[read on AO3]

A/N: I am going to inflict my recently read cute sweet weird little dinosaur shapeshifting punk x paleontologist romance novels upon you. (Youuuuu should read Smash & Grab by Maz Maddox. It’s narrated excellently by Kirt Graves and reads like a fanfiction in a novel. Also there’s some dinosaur animorphers lmao. The book is 1st person POV that switches between the main characters so I decided to try my hand at it.) Me over here changing up how one of the scenes played out - adding some tickles, classic. Enjoy.

SIMON

What the hell? Within a few days my world had shifted and flipped upside down, and now, if the being-on-the-run damsel-in-distress role wasn’t enough, my forced traveling companion slash savior slash crush had just climbed into bed with me. Arms wrapped around my middle and I jumped, hissing out, “Dalton.”

“I’m cold, won’t you cuddle with me?” Dalton mused, pulling his body closer to mine under the covers. Damn this one bed safehouse.

“No- what? I- I’m going to sleep!” I argued - it sounded better in my head. “Get off!” 

“Come onnnnn.” Dalton sing-songed. His hands pulled me closer to him and wrapped around my middle. He squeezed a little where his hands rested along my sides.

I knew I was in trouble when my mind caught up a few seconds later and realized the loud, squeaking sound that suddenly lit up the room had come from me. 

“Oh… Simon.” His voice sounded honey-sweet. Why did it also sound so scary? 

Fingers curled against my left side, scribbling curiously. Shit. What the fuck was this guy doing?! I snarled - well, I tried to, but it came out a little breathless. “W-What the fuck do you think you’re doing!?”

There was a snort in reply. “What do you think I’m doing?” 

And then the hands wrapped around me from behind wiggled against the same spot again, this time on both sides. Shit. It really fucking tickled. Already. Shit. I swallowed a nervous lump in my throat along with the laughter starting to bubble up in my gut. I knew he could feel me tense and squirm with how fucking close he was lying to me. 

“D-Dalton..” I tried to wiggle forward, out of his embrace that I wasn’t entirely sure yet if I wanted out of, and nearly got to the edge of the mattress. 

“Heh. Ticklish? That’s pretty damn cute, Sugarbear.” Dalton’s smirk came through clearly in his tone. He chased after me with a few wriggles of his own and then nuzzled into my neck. Tingles shot down my spine as I gasped in a breath - I could feel the burn of a laugh trying to escape. 

“No-” It came out as a wheeze, and I couldn’t hold back the laughter any longer as Dalton kept squeezing at my damn sides. “Ahaha n-nohohoho don’t! Wait- heheh wait!” I tried to shake my head just as little bubbles of laughter started to climb their way out. 

“Don’t wait?” He teased. “Okay.” And then his hands started squeezing at my hips and I buckled forward, almost lurching off the bed.

“Nohoho- hehehee Dahahhalton! C-Cut it out!” I reached wildly toward his hands on instinct, trying to grab his wrists and pry them away. All I really managed was to hold on to them as he began tickling up and down the length of my sides. God, it- it didn’t do anything to deter him. He was… much stronger than me - which I did not have the mental energy to think about right now. In fact, I was quickly losing the mental energy to think about anything.

DALTON

Be still my beating fucking heart. This sexy, handsome, adorable, nerdy paleontologist- he was going to be the death of me. I nuzzled in against the side of his neck to get a little closer to those adorable little giggles - and to try and catch a glimpse of that smile of his. 

“You have the cutest fucking laugh.” I teased as Simon grabbed onto my wrists. I pushed my nose gently into the skin behind his ear. I kissed there too, and felt his back shiver. “Fucking adorable.”

“Dalton! C-Cut it out!” Simon cried out, joy evident on his face and in his voice. His legs started to kick, sometimes knocking against my own legs. I wrangled my leg around to secure over his thighs, keeping still enough to wiggle but not kick. 

“Cut what out? The tickling?” I wiggled my fingers up toward his lower ribs, earning a cackle. “Or the teasing?” I grinned. I placed all ten finger tips against his sides through the shirt he wore - his little sliver of protection. Then I spider-walked them in front to his stomach. 

Simon shrieked and started squirming harder. His hands gave up on grabbing mine and instead moved to try and block as much of his belly as possible. It was cute. Everything he did was cute. 

Simon’s cheeks nearly matched my hair as he giggled and squirmed. I whispered more teases and musings and compliments, and Simon’s pretty pink started turning red. 

“Hey.” I patted his shoulder as he sighed and caught his breath.  “Now I know a great way to pass the time while we’re waiting things out in this safehouse.”

Simon let out a tired little giggle at that. 

“You… Pink menace.” He accused with no venom, smiling as he closed his eyes.

“You’re pretty damn pink yourself right now.” I smirked. Simon grumbled in response before I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him in close to be my little spoon. My cute, ticklish, dorky little spoon. Simon came willingly, tuckered out from laughing so hard. 

Maybe another night, he might even seek out a little revenge? I remembered the feeling from several romantic encounters- the electricity of it, the bubbly lightness afterward. It was an interesting sensation to say the least, mammals were interesting - especially these strange hairless apes. 

I stopped thinking about it too hard and refocused on Simon’s slowing breath in front of me. I nuzzled into his neck again, feeling him tense up a bit. 

“Heh- no- no more tickling- I’m exhausted.” Another tired laugh. 

“Yes, yes, but we can cuddle?” I asked, wondering genuinely, but also enjoying teasing him a little.

Simon let out a quiet little sound of distress. He sounded a bit tormented when he said, “Yeah, well, I guess we- we already are so..”

I hummed and answered, “Goodnight, Sugarbear,” as I felt him slowly relax into my arms. Butterflies danced in my stomach as though I had just been the one to be made kicking and giggling.
