So at the movie’s yesterday...
Tumblr media
...I asked the employee about their showings for Quantumania because I wanna see that on their XD screen (bigger, louder, etc.) and they don’t have any showtimes in XD, only standard and Screen X (which is a scam) and  he said they weren’t expecting it to do well?
Send help.
He was telling me about how repetitive the MCU is and how people are tired of it. I told him it’s wonderful and while SOME movies are the same thing it’s not all bad, AND THE BARRIER FOR ENTRY IS HIGH AF but we’ve been in it this long we have to keep going.

Unseen Hearts
Fandom: Stray Kids
Pairing: Felix x Male Reader
Word Count: 4652
Summary: Y/N is a young actor and singer on the rise who has great admiration for Stray Kids, especially a certain member with a huskier voice.
p.s. this is the first time I write about kpop on this blog, I hope you like it! In fact, I was extremely inspired because I've never written so much! and another thing: I mention a Korean ideogram in the story, I tried to do my research but my Korean is terrible, forgive any mistakes. and always remembering REQUESTS ARE OPEN, in the pinned there are the fandons for which I write
Tumblr media
You never thought you would be in a serious relationship with a K-pop artist. Of course, you've been a fan of Korean culture since you were 13 and a friend introduced you to the concept of K-pop, dramas and all the rest.
You were lucky enough to have well-off parents who let you study Korean from the age of 13 because you had become completely obsessed with everything about Korea.
But obviously your life didn't revolve around just that, of course you went to shows whenever you could, once you even got a trip to South Korea as a gift to go to a fan meeting.
But one thing that the idol life showed you was that you also wanted to be an artist, you were in doubt between acting and music. After all, you were good at both. In school plays you always got the lead.
Your mother played the piano and from a very early age taught you everything she knew about music, so one of your hobbies, and also a form of therapy, was writing songs.
When you were 18, a family friend who worked for Netflix knew he had a casting call that was a perfect fit for you. You took the test, with zero faith that you would pass.
But it ended up happening, the series was about a fantasy world, four wizard friends fighting an evil entity, you had a lot of fun recording the first season, you made incredible friends, but you never thought the series would be successful.
Until it exploded. And it became the number 1 series on Netflix, with everyone talking about it. And obviously you and your co-stars started doing press tours.
Jimmy Fallon Show
- Hey guys! Welcome back to the Tonight Show! Today we have a very special guest, a talented young man who is having great success with the new Netflix series: Witchbound Chronicles. Let's welcome the amazing Y/N! How are you, Y/N?
- Hi Jimmy! I'm great, thanks for having me here.
- It's a pleasure to have you. Firstly, congratulations on the success of your series! What has the experience been like seeing your face everywhere?
- It's surreal, Jimmy. I never imagined things would happen so quickly. I'm just enjoying every moment.
- This is amazing! Tell us a little about the series. What can fans expect?
- Well, the series is called "Witchbound Chronicles" and it takes place in a completely new world full of magic, fantastic creatures and lots of exciting twists. I play one of the main characters, a young man named Ethan, who discovers he has incredible magical abilities.
- This looks amazing! And what was the audition process like to get the role?
- It was a little crazy, actually. I auditioned without much expectation, and when I got the call that I had gotten the role, I couldn't believe it. It was a dream come true.
- And what was it like working with the cast and crew?
- Everyone was incredible. The cast is very talented, and the team behind the cameras did an incredible job bringing this magical world to life. I learned a lot from all of them.
- I'm sure fans would love to know if there are any funny or interesting behind-the-scenes stories you can share.
- Oh, definitely! One day, we were filming a scene with intense special effects, and one of the animatronics that plays the magical creatures ended up going out of control. It was hilarious to see everyone running for cover, but in the end, everything worked out, and the scene was incredible.
- And what can we expect from the future, Y/N? More projects on the small screen or maybe even the big screen?
- Absolutely, Jimmy! I love acting, and I hope to continue exploring different roles and challenges. Who knows what the future holds, right?
- Hey Y/N, our research team made some interesting discoveries on your social media. It seems like you're a big K-pop fan, is that right?
- Oh yes, Jimmy! I'm completely obsessed with K-pop, it's one of my passions.
- This is amazing! Any specific groups or artists that you really admire?
- For sure! I'm a big fan of Stray Kids.
- Oh, and our team also noticed that you have a certain “bias” as they say in K-pop at Felix! You've been expressing your crush on Felix a lot on social media. Any funny stories or embarrassing moments related to this?
- Well, now that you mention that this is public I would say that all my posts about Felix are kind of funny and embarrassing, actually. I try to keep it light and humorous, but of course, my friends always tease me a little about it.
- That is great! And if Felix or any of the Stray Kids were watching right now, what would you say to them?
- Wow, that's a tough question. I guess I would say how much they mean to me as an artist and as a person. Their work really inspires me, and I really admire their talent.
- I hope Felix sees this and who knows, maybe you can meet one day!
Some time later, on a live that Felix was doing, a fan asked if he had seen this interview.
Chat: Felix, did you see Jimmy Fallon's interview with Y/N, the actor from the series "Witchbound Chronicles"?
- Oh yeah! I saw! It was amazing. I couldn't stop smiling throughout the entire interview.
Chat: Y/N mentioned that he's a big fan of Stray Kids and that he has a crush on you. What was your reaction when you watched this?
- Oh, really? This is so cool! I was very flattered to learn that he is a Stray Kids fan. I think it's an honor when talented people like our work.
Chat: Would you have a message to send to Y/N?
For sure! Y/N, if you're watching, thank you so much for your support! It's amazing to know that you enjoy our work, and who knows, maybe one day we can meet. Keep being amazing!
Chat: It would be great to see a collaboration between Stray Kids and the series' soundtrack, wouldn't it?
- Absolutely! We would love it! Who knows what the future holds for us, right? Let's hope something like this happens.
Meanwhile at your house
- Y/N did you watch Felix's last live? - Your sister came running to ask you.
- No, I saw the notification but I was busy so I couldn't watch it.
- You NEED to see this excerpt!
Your sister takes the phone to you with a cut from the live stream where Felix Yongbok Lee is simply talking about you, and of course you completely freak out!
- MY GOD! FELIX KNOWS I EXIST!
- Imagine if you could meet him in person?
You stop and reflect for a second
- What is it? - Your sister asks.
- My Twitter account simply has 1001 posts about how handsome and hot I think he is! I need to deprive that now!
- Wow, but it's great that he knows you have a crush on him!
- He already knows because of that stupid interview, I don't need to be embarrassed anymore! - You run out to get your cell phone.
A while later on a gossip page
“Recently Y/N S/N deprived his Twitter account and opened a new one saying that it would be his professional account. Does the young actor have something to hide?”
/-/
Months later, with the end of recording the first season of the series, and the end of the press conferences, you feel that it is time to return to music. You had loved that whole period of recording and promoting the series but you felt the urge to write about it all, to put it all in the form of music, and deep in your heart, you wanted to write about something, something that you thought was really silly. actually, but your mother always told you that music was made to express all your feelings.
Unseen Hearts
🎶 Unseen hearts, a world apart,
In the shadows, you're the spark.
A crush so sweet, yet out of reach,
Dreams we chase, lessons we teach. 🎶
- This song is AMAZING! - A music producer friend of your mother said when he heard it.
- Did you really think so? I think it's no big deal.
- Is beautiful! What was the inspiration?
- Ah, silly thing, you know... stupid youthful passion - You said with a bit of shame.
- Y/N, I know you've been wanting to combine acting and music for so long, Bobby can give you that opportunity. – Your mother said
- You have so much potential Y/N. - Said Bobby, the producer and owner of the record company you were now part of.
- Now, ideas for a music video?
The Unseen Hearts video was a success, number 1 in views on YouTube. The clip takes place in a magical setting, reminiscent of the world of the series that you are part of. Include enchanted forests, ancient ruins and mystical locations, having a sense of magic and mystery. The story of the music video centers on you, showing your magical journey in search of your unreachable crush. Throughout the clip you searche for a masked figure who wears a necklace with the Korean character:  리

✨ The "Unseen Hearts" music video is a masterpiece! 🎬✨ Y/N's portrayal of an unattainable crush, wrapped in magical elements, is pure art. The visuals, the symbolism – everything is on point! 🌌🎶 #WitchboundChronicles #MagicalMusic
🌌 Theory time! What if the "Unseen Hearts" video is a metaphor for the struggles we face in expressing our feelings? The crush, shrouded in magic, symbolizes the elusive nature of emotions. Y/N's journey represents the pursuit of self-discovery. 🧐💭 #UnseenHeartsTheory
📜 Lyric interpretation theory: What if the lyrics in "Unseen Hearts" reflect Y/N's emotions towards Felix? The masked figure embodies the lyrical expression of an unspoken crush, with the ideogram pendant serving as a musical symbol of admiration. 🎤💔 #LyricConnection #UnseenHeartsEmotion
🎵 Melodic connection theory: The musical journey in "Unseen Hearts" might represent Y/N's emotional connection to Felix. The masked figure, with Felix's ideogram, is the elusive muse driving the rhythm of Y/N's heart. 🎭💖 #MusicalMuse #UnseenHeartsMelody

The Kelly Clarkson Show
- Hey guys! We're here with the talented Y/N, who recently released the amazing music video "Unseen Hearts." Y/N, first, I want to say that the music video is amazing, but everyone is wondering: what is the meaning behind it?
- Hi Kelly! First of all, thank you for the compliment. You know, "Unseen Hearts" is a magical journey, an exploration of emotions and personal challenges. I wanted to convey the idea of pursuing something that seems unattainable, but at the same time, it is an experience of self-discovery.
- Oh, this is fascinating! And many fans are curious about the character that appears in the clip. Can you tell us more about this?
- Of course, Kelly. The ideogram is an artistic representation, a kind of personal symbol. It's a way to add a layer of mystery to the story, allowing each person to find their own meaning in the song and video.
- I get it, I love this enigmatic approach! And what would you say to fans speculating about the music video?
- Well, it's amazing to see the enthusiasm of the fans and the different interpretations they are creating. The beauty of art is in its subjectivity, right? I love seeing the theories and stories that people are coming up with. It's a gift to see how music resonates in unique ways for everyone.

Live from Felix a few days later
Chat: Hi, Felix! Did you see Y/N's new video, "Unseen Hearts"? What did you think?
- Oh, sure! I watched it, and I have to say Y/N did an amazing job. The magical atmosphere, the emotional narrative, everything was very well done. I really liked.
Chat: And the music? Do you think it has some connection with you? After all, the character with your name appears in the clip!
- Well, it's interesting, right? I think art is interpretive, and each person can have their own vision. If music is an artistic expression, it's hard to say exactly what it means to Y/N. But I loved seeing how fans are creating their own theories and stories around it.
Chat: We are really curious! Do you think Y/N might have been inspired by you for the song?
- You know, Y/N is an incredible artist, and I'm just one of the many artists who can inspire him. I think the beauty of music is its ability to connect with different experiences and emotions. If Y/N found inspiration in something we experienced, it's an honor.
Chat: Hey Felix, we know Y/N mentioned he's a Stray Kids fan. Do you think he could have a crush on you?
- Oh, really? That's kind of funny to think about. I think it's always flattering to know that people admire our work, whether as artists or as people. And well, I don't really know about that. I'm grateful for the fans' support and affection, but personal relationships are something private, right? Let's focus on the music and Y/N's work, which is incredible.
Chat: We're just kidding, Felix! But seriously, what was it like for you to see your character in his video?
It was a pleasant surprise, for sure! Y/N is a talented artist, and it was cool to see that special touch in the video. I think he did a wonderful job of creating something unique and meaningful.

A few weeks later you are invited to perform at the Billboard Music Awards, it would be your first time performing Unseen Hearts in front of such a large audience, you were nervous obviously, but something made you even more nervous.
- Y/N you have no idea what I discovered! - Bobby, who was now your manager, called you excitedly.
- What was it?
- So I was organizing your participation in this year's BMAs, and you know who will be there, STRAY KIDS! They will also participate
You froze, you had followed the news, given interviews, seen Felix's live and knew that everyone already knew the obvious, you had burst out writing a song about the crush you had on a boy you saw once at a fan meeting.
- Y/N… are you there? - Bobby asked from the other side.
- I'm sorry, I just got a little distracted.
- I thought you would be more excited.
- Yes, I'm excited, of course, it's going to be really cool - You said a little disconcerted.
- Now are you ready for the big news?
- My God, is there more?
- It has! So the organization was talking to me, and they asked me if you would be willing to sit at the same table as them, you know, you speak Korean, so you can help the members who don't speak it to fit in.
- BOBBY WHAT DID YOU ANSWER?
- I confirmed your place with them of course, I thought you would love it!
- ARE YOU TELLING ME I'M GOING TO COME FACE TO FACE WITH THE GUY I WROTE A SONG ABOUT?????
- Wait, was the song really about Felix?
- My God Bobby, I thought you were my manager and paid attention to the nuances.
You wanted to pass out obviously.
//
Billboard Music Awards Day - Red carpet.
- Hi Matt! We are excited to see your performance today. What can we expect from this presentation?
- Hello! I'm looking forward to the night, it's going to be amazing. The performance will be full of energy, with a touch of magic and emotion. I hope everyone enjoys it!
- Good luck! Now, we've heard rumors that you and Stray Kids have a special connection. Any future collaborations on the horizon?
- Well, I'm a big fan of Stray Kids, they're so talented. Who knows what the future holds? I'm always open to surprising collaborations. - You say with a bright smile
- Hmm, intriguing! And regarding the "Unseen Hearts" video, many fans speculate about the inspiration behind it. Any subliminal messages?
- Ah, "Unseen Hearts" is an emotional journey, an exploration of personal feelings and challenges. Fan interpretations are fascinating, and I like to leave the song open to different meanings.
- What about the ideograms? We saw Felix from Stray Kids in the video. Any special meaning? - The interviewer asks with an insinuating smile
- Ideograms are like artistic elements, each one can find its own meaning. Sometimes it's just a way to add a special touch to the visual narrative. - You say, wanting to curse yourself for when you had the brilliant idea of putting one of the ideograms of Felix's name in the music video
Interview with Stray Kids
- And we're here with Stray Kids! You guys are killing it as always. We're curious to know, are there any secret collaborations you have in mind? Maybe something with our dear Y/N, who is also here today?
- Well, you know, we are always open to new musical experiences. Y/N is an amazing artist, so who knows what could happen in the future? - Felix responds.
- Interesting! And speaking of collaborations, we saw Felix's character in Y/N's "Unseen Hearts" video. Any idea what this could mean?
- It seems like Y/N wanted to add a special touch to the video. I don't know if there's a deeper meaning, but it's an honor to be included in his art in some way. - Felix says smiling
- What if we talk about the music itself? Any thoughts on "Unseen Hearts"? - The interviewer says wanting to provoke.
- Of course, we all watched the clip and were impressed. The song has a unique vibe, and Y/N's performance is engaging. It's great to see artists exploring different styles. - Bang Chan responds
- It seems like there are a lot of secrets being kept! Speaking of secrets, do you have any future projects that you haven't revealed yet?
- Well, we never reveal all our secrets, do we? You can expect more surprises in the future. - Hyunjin responds, ending the interview.
//
Later, after the red carpet, you have to face reality and go to your seat next to the members of Stray Kids. You're dying of embarrassment, not only because you meet artists you admire so much, but because you know what the topic of the moment is.
You greet everyone in Korean, trying to be as polite as possible, they are all incredibly kind to you.
When it's time to sit down, it's as if fate hates you, and of course your seat was next to Felix.
- I really enjoyed your series on Netflix. - Felix said trying to start a conversation.
- Serious? Didn't you find it a little too fanciful?
- It's too fanciful, but I like things like that, it's really cool.
- Thank you very much - You said blushing.
He looked incredibly handsome that night, you were trying very hard not to stare.
- I really liked Unseen Hearts too, it's a beautiful song.
- Oh thank you, but it doesn't even compare to your work, I'm still quite an amateur. - You always had this habit of diminishing yourself.
- Hey don't say that, your work is incredible. - He takes a strand of your hair and puts it back. - Your eyes are very E/C
He immediately takes his hand out of your hair and apologizes. There was a slight awkward atmosphere but the touch of his fingers in your hair were still there. “You’re not living a fanfic, focus on reality”, you forced yourself to think.
You didn't want to do it but you had to, you didn't want them to keep bothering the boy because of the damn ideogram in the clip.
- Look at the clip, and the ideogram, I'm sorry they keep disturbing you with this, I saw some of your lives and how embarrassed you were.
- Hey no, I thought it was really cool! Was it really a reference for me?
You look down, well, there was no point in lying anymore, right? At least you would leave with the knowledge that your idol would never see you as anything more
- Yes, it was, but you know we all have crushes on famous people, don't worry, it doesn't mean anything big.
- What a shame - He said looking down
What? - You were shocked.
- I wouldn't mind, you know, if it was a genuine crush.
You didn't have time to respond because Bobby came to call you to say that you needed to get ready for your presentation. You ran away with your heart racing, what did that mean, what did Felix mean?
//
- Ladies and gentlemen, singing Unseen Hearts Y/N S/N
On the Billboard Music Awards stage, the "Unseen Hearts" moment begins with you positioned center stage, radiating a magnetic presence. The mesmerizing melody fills the room, creating a magical atmosphere that captures everyone's attention.
The scenery is full of fantastic elements, as you immerse yourself in the performance, conveying the emotion of the music through each note. The audience, enveloped by the magic of the presentation, watches attentively.
During the performance, the camera occasionally cuts to the audience, where Felix from Stray Kids is sitting. His eyes meet at various moments, creating a visual connection that transcends the stage. You, while singing, exchange intense glances with Felix in the audience, conveying deep emotions and a unique harmony.
The exchange of glances is loaded with meaning, as if you were sharing your story not only with the audience, but also with Felix. Every facial expression reflects the intensity of the song, as your eyes meet Felix's, conveying a silent, emotional narrative.
At the end of the performance, the audience bursts into applause, recognizing the beauty and emotion of the performance. You, as you come down from the stage, exchange a final look with Felix, a moment that remains suspended in the air before being lost in the effervescence of the applause.

//
You couldn't believe what had just happened, you had performed Unseen Hearts in front of hundreds of people but it was as if you could only see Felix, you were completely embarrassed by it. How could you be so unprofessional to stare at the boy like that? What would they say about you? What would they say about him?
A knock on the dressing room door makes you stand up. It was the boys from Stray Kids and you quickly rushed to open it.
- Y/N, man, you just killed it on stage! It was amazing! - Bang Chan says hugging you.
You're grateful for the compliment, but a wave of self-consciousness hits you. Did they notice your distraction? Did they notice the prolonged glances in Felix's direction?
- Oh, thanks, Chan! I'm glad you liked it. - You say smiling, trying to hide it.
- Did you see the audience? Everyone was mesmerized. It looks like you worked some real magic up there! - Jeongin says.
Everyone laughs, and you join in the laughter, trying to keep your self-critical thoughts away.
- Y/N, that performance was incredible. You brought such a unique energy to the song. - Felix says with a shy smile.
- And I think our friend here needs to speak to you in private. - Changbin says leading the others to leave the room.
Okay, you thought: now he's going to say that what I did was horrible, that it could cause gossip and horrible repercussions for his career. And so you will have ruined the mere chance of having a friendship with someone you admire.
But his response was very different from what you imagined.
- Yeah… I wanted to ask… if you want to go out with me, do you know after the awards?
The initial perplexity is replaced by a mixture of relief and surprise. You expected the worst, but here Felix is, not mentioning anything about the intense stares, but rather extending an invitation to hang out.
- Wow, of course, I would love to! It would be amazing. - You smile trying to hide your surprise.
Felix seems to relax a little, like he's relieved by his answer.
- Great so! Will be cool. The awards are going to be incredible, but I think after that we can relax a little, what do you think?
- I will love it!
- Excellent! See you after the awards, then. - He says with a dazzling smile
He turns to leave the dressing room, and you stay there, processing the unexpected turn of events. What seemed like a potential uncomfortable situation turned into an invitation to hang out. Perhaps the intense looks were perceived differently by Felix.
Later that night…
"Y/N from 'Unseen Hearts' and Felix from Stray Kids spotted holding hands after the Billboard Music Awards!"
"The beginning of a new ship? Y/N and Felix, moments of romance after the awards."
"Fans are ecstatic over photos of Y/N and Felix together. Could this be the start of a new friendship or something more?"

Moi dix Mois
Welcome to the Strange Year End Party
Moi dix Mois' annual grand year end party, sandwiched between their signature dark live performances with a spectacular ending! This year as well Seth (Vo) appeared as the character "Umezawa Sesuo" performing the song "Yume Shibai," while Mana (G) displayed his brilliant drum and bass playing.
The evening's feast began with a comedic opening hosted by K (G, Voice) and included highlights such as the anime "Martin Theater," which evoked shouts of "kawaii!" from the audience. Of course when Moi dix Mois performed they swiftly shifted from the fun atmosphere to their signature coolness, impressing as always.
Now witness an entertainment show infused with the dark aesthetics that define Supreme Commander Mana.
Dis inferno Vol. IV LAST YEAR PARTY 2006.12.26, Shibuya O-East
The venue dimmed and the host K appeared on a small stage on the right side of the floor, announcing today's opening act. The band was called MANALEY CRUE (a play on the name Mötley Crüe). As the curtain opened to "Red Hot," Mana appeared first, wearing tight slim pants decorated with mesh and handcuffs in a very Mötley Crüe like outfit. For a moment, you could almost think you were witnessing the LA metal scene of the early '80s. As the other members appeared, their resemblance to the original band was quite impressive, especially Sugiya (G), whose appearance was strikingly similar to Mick Mars. It seemed like Mana's choice for sure.
After playing drums in the past, Mana took the double bass drum kit for this show, setting the tone for this two-year comeback event, Moi dix Mois' Last Year Party under the name Dis inferno. Though usually known for their serious live performances, on this night, it was all about fun, giving fans a rare glimpse into the band members' hidden talents and unique sides. As always, the central figure was Moi dix Mois' leader, Mana.
The band played "Looks That Kill" with enthusiasm continuing the Mötley Crüe tribute and series of covers. The next act saw a dazzling Seth take the stage as "Umezawa Iku," performing Umezawa Tomio's "Yume Shibai." Seth's performance was remarkable, fully immersing himself in the song's world. Hayato dressed as a stagehand, added manual effects like tossing confetti, making it a full-fledged show.
Following the metal and enka (Japanese ballad) performance, Fukuyama Kenji's "Squall" was performed with an acoustic guitar, not by K, but by Keiny-chan. Although casually dressed in a white shirt and jeans, his face was still decked out in the usual death/gothic makeup, with half of his hair braided and the other half spiked—an extreme look that added an eerie touch to the performance. Despite the visual contrast, his voice resonated powerfully.
Next up was "The King of Knowledge" Sugiya, who appeared as "Sugick" to perform... balloon art! Yes, twisting long balloons into shapes like animals and flowers in a street-performer style. In a short time, he created a parrot, leaving the audience exclaiming, "Amazing!"
Afterward, the atmosphere completely shifted as "Now the other side in blood" began, marked by the intense double bass drumming. The live performance by Moi dix Mois proper started, powerfully leading with "Front et Baiser." The band's signature sound, featuring crushing metal riffs, had the audience headbanging enthusiastically, creating an electric atmosphere.
During the break, an animated short, "Martin Theater," featuring Mana as a chibi character, was shown on the screen. The whole band appeared in super-deformed (SD) style in a cute and comical story, delighting the audience with its adorable depiction.
On this night, the setlist was built around particularly aggressive songs, driving the audience into a frenzy. The combination of metal riffs and fierce melodies, like in the nostalgic track "Lamentful Miss," echoed strongly through the venue. Moi dix Mois’ performances, such as "Ange," highlighted their unique style, combining intensity and a haunting beauty that remains true to their essence.
The visual spectacle also included Mana’s new guitar, "Jeune Fille X Bronze -Cross Ray-," which had a glowing blue cross in the center. He concluded his performance by collapsing dramatically on stage, leaving a lasting impression. This glimpse into the recording of their upcoming album, due in March, hinted that intensity would be a major theme.
After the show closed with a powerful and flawless performance, the grand year-end party concluded with the entire Moi dix Mois band plus K performing a massive singalong to "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," with giant balloons floating through the crowd, bringing the festive night to a spectacular finish.

As a British Christian who has had a abiding love of horror through my life, allow me to infodump about how much I adore theological horror, namely @thesiltverses. It is the most fascinating deep dive into people’s lives and experiences with religion and societal norms combined with some of the most intense horror I’ve ever heard.
Do you know how refreshing it is to have any piece of media posit the idea that we could live in the world where we know there are gods; gods exist; they do things, we can SEE they do things, and we still DON’T HAVE A CLUE, a single CLUE, what they want from us? 
So many times I’ve seen people say ‘uh, why doesn’t God reveal himself to us?!’
My sibling in Christ, when has that ever resulted in fewer arguments?
It certainly seems like theological debate reigns on in The Silt Verses.
I relate so hard to the characters, and the characterisation of Carpenter and Faulkner is just perfection. Anyone who has been in a church knows both of them, and has been one or both of them in their lives (sans a few sacrifices. Maybe). The acting by B. Narr and Méabh de Brún is just phenomenal as well. 
That feeling when your god and the way your religion talks about your god is so mismatched. That lurch when your self perception and others perception of you are jarringly opposite.
One of the main lessons out of thesiltverses (and #themagnusarchives ) is this:
Human beings are both victims and villains, and the two do not cancel each other out. Ever.
The heartless, ruthless bigoted people you despise do good things.
The kind, sweet gentle people you support do evil things.
(The Parish of Tide and Flesh can be interpreted using both sentences)
And you are and do the same. You know this. 
The good you wish to do you do not.
The evil you wish not to do you do.
The solution is to open your eyes to the world. To not be fooled by sweet lies. And you are the one who is easily fooled by yourself.
I love the character Paige for this sentiment (amazing performance by Lucille Valentine). While she leaves a ‘religion’ and starts a ‘cult’, it might be closer to say she forsakes bureaucracy for grassroots. Or consumerism for community. Perhaps even idols for faith. 
But it’s hard. Everything inside you is desperately tired and it’s too much: to look, to consider, to see all these things, all the time, and old habits die hard.
We all know a Dan.
Especially if you go to church.
Also - Hayward. I love Hayward. I love the unraveling of his worldview, the fear of the stink and how insane it must be trying to police such a complex world (reality is horror, goes the old refrain). I always loved following this character through the landscape, through fields and ruins, offices and cities. Stellar work by Jimmie Yamaguchi.
And then there’s all the other voice actors who worked on this. Everyone did amazing work, and the siltverses became such a real universe to me. I can understand whether there’s so much fanart, and why people enjoy this series so much.
Then there’s the horror itself. Horror for me is attract and repel. Some horror grabs you by the hand and pulls you down dark twisting corridors. Some horror shocks and stuns, jarring your nerves and leaving you reeling. It sets your teeth on edge
For me the silt verses perfectly walks that tightrope, with intense, terrifying sounds that twisted me into knots, while sweetly singing me down the narrative path. I want to listen again, but I also kind of don’t?! It’s very, very intense. Attract and repel.
Poems. Poems and horror, horror and poems. The Silt Verse breathes and spasms with rhyme and hymn and it makes the world darkly romantic, full of choral dread, and bloody rhythm.
One last song of revelations
of prophets' dark deceptions 
Of love, and gods' defeat 
Of love, and gods' defeat
I know religion is a sensitive topic at the best of times and people will have quite different reactions to this podcast. I love it though. I think it’s really well-written and despite the terrible things done because of religion in the story, I don’t think it’s negative about being religious per se, I think it’s open-ended. the question is- where do we go from here?
I think as well, discussions about religion don’t have to be restricted to audio dramas that are specifically about religion. In The Magnus Archives there’s a question: what if you met a god on judgement day, and he really, really didn’t like you. This god knows EVERYTHING about you, and HATES you. 
Genuinely one of the most terrifying theological horror villains out there, and I don’t know if jonny even intended him as such!
How far you are willing to go for faith, and how far you can drift on the currents is something I haven’t really seen discussed before, and if there’s one thing I adore its stories that make me think. I grew up on Pratchett, Asimov, Pullman and Adams, a glorious fix of fantasy and sci-fi, and I always want stories that push boundaries. 
Listen to The Silt Verses. It’s worth it. But read the content-warnings and be safe. ❤️
Also - IN-UNIVERSE CREDITS. Amazing!

All That Glitters
Tumblr media
Sometimes a dragon just has to give in to the urge and cover his lover in jewels and fuck him senseless. Dragon has been itching to cover Jade with treasures from his hoard. It's lucky Jade is very understanding. And also into it How Dragon started calling Jade Treasure.

Treasure
“Indulge me, my jewel?” Jade looked away from the magazine he was reading to find Dragon kneeling in front of him. He was already trailing soft fingers up Jade's clothed calves, like he just had to be touching him. His gaze held a fire in it that made Jade's stomach twist in excitement. 
“Of course, love.” Jade put away his magazine and reached for Dragon intending to kiss him, but found himself being thrown over Dragon's shoulder and being carried away from the expansive living room in a direction he now knew by heart. They were heading to the bedroom. 
Jade relaxed and let himself enjoy the view of Dragon's strong back hidden under a dress shirt and his amazing ass moving under his pants. Dragon didn't falter in his steps as he walked through the bedroom into his actual den through the hidden entrance. Only then did he gently let Jade down and made him sit at the edge of the massive bed. 
Jade's eyes adjusted to the dimmer lighting in the room as candles lit up around them, his eyes only on Dragon. He reached his arms up, and Dragon easily bent down to kiss him senseless. Jade melted into the kiss, opening up to Dragon easily and moaning at the taste. He sighed into their kiss as their lips moved together in practiced moves. Jade buried his fingers in Dragon's long hair and scratched at his scalp earning himself a pleased purr. 
Dragon had been tense all week and wouldn't share what was happening. He would only relax if he had Jade next to him, in his arms. Jade didn't mind the extra cuddle time and let Dragon decide when he wanted to share what was up. But he was still relieved as he sensed Dragon's shoulders relax as he kept kissing him and running his fingers through his dark hair. 
Dragon broke the kiss and the intense gaze was back. Jade shivered as Dragon's gentle fingers traced up his sides, pulling up the tight shirt he was wearing. Dragon pulled it off over Jade's head and danced his fingertips down Jade's torso, mapping every ridge and dip. His gaze like lightning running up Jade's body. Dragon kissed his jaw, then his neck, down his torso. Slow, gentle kisses down his body and then back up. Jade leaned back on his hands and tilted his head up, offering more of himself to Dragon. 
He held the man between his knees - Dragon kneeling before him once again - and let him rain down kisses and gentle touches all over his body. When Dragon finally went for his pants Jade twitched in excitement. He was so lost in the pleasure of gentle attention that he didn't even notice Dragon running hot hands up his thighs. His leather pants didn't help dampen the hot touch - if anything they made it worse. 
Dragon didn't hurry his actions, but also didn't drag them out. Jade soon found himself sitting completely naked on the bed, with a still clothed Dragon back between his legs, leaving kisses on his inner thigh. Jade sighed in pleasure and arched his body. He buried one of his hands back in Dragon's hair and kept petting and scratching his head as Dragon kept kissing and touching him with a fierce devotion. Jade's cock was slowly plumping up, but it was ignored by both of them. Jade could feel the warm pleasure running through his body and enjoyed the feeling of Dragon's fingers teasing his skin. 
With a kiss on his hip Dragon stood up and undressed much quicker than he had undressed Jade. He peeled each layer off Jade like it was an act of devotion and a gift to see each new piece of skin. With himself it was hurried like he just wanted the constriction off. 
Jade sat back and enjoyed the show as he waited for Dragon to take the lead. Dragon offered him a hand and Jade took it, getting pulled up by the man in front of him. He couldn't resist kissing him again, pressing their bodies head to toe. 
As they kissed, Jade could feel the body next to him shift and change. He opened his eyes to a half shifted Dragon, now a whole head taller than him. 
The horns sprouting from his head made him look even taller. Jade could feel claws gently resting on his sides and he traced the sprouted scales on Dragon's cheekbones with his thumb, feeling how hard they were. He jumped as something wrapped around his calf and looked down to see Dragon's tail - thick, scaled, but gentle - wrapped around him. He stepped even closer, pressing his body along Dragon's and feeling the heat. He tilted his head up asking for a kiss. 
Kissing Dragon in this form always made his stomach jump in excitement. The promise of danger from the sharp teeth balanced out by Dragon's long and talented tongue always lit a fire inside him. Jade hummed into the kiss. He ran fingers up Dragon's back, feeling patches of scales and sharp barbs protruding from his back. He traced a gentle finger around them and felt Dragon shiver and purr into their kiss in pleasure. 
Jade was dazed when Dragon broke their kiss, a thin trail of saliva breaking as they pulled away. Dragon kissed his temple and with a gentle guiding hand turned and led Jade deeper into his den, in a far corner through a hidden entryway. 
Dragon was taking him to his hoard. 
Jade's heart stuttered at the thought. He never went there alone and Dragon only took him there once. Truly it was only a part of Dragon's hoard, Jade knew he had other hidden places where he stored the treasures he collected over the years. But from what he understood the ones here were the most important, the ones Dragon's instincts told him to protect. 
Standing in the middle of a massive room now Jade found himself speechless. Dragon could obviously manipulate the room with his magic and Jade saw some of the closets and shelves shift. From what Jade could see at a glance Dragon had his hoard meticulously stored and sorted. The dimly lit room only offered a glance for him at what exactly was there, but Jade thought he could see things like weapons, statues, clothing, jewelry glitter in the candle light before the room settled on what Dragon wanted. 
There was now a massive gold gilded mirror in front of them and a comfortable looking emerald green divan behind them. Jade shivered in anticipation. 
Dragon gave him a knowing smirk and pushed him back on the seat before padding off to one of the jewelry stands and a chest next to it. Jade couldn't see what was inside. Dragon returned and had the items hidden from view. He was still wearing the knowing smirk which meant he was teasing Jade on purpose. 
He sank to his knees in front of Jade once again, his items hidden from view even in the mirror. Jade enjoyed the view of Dragon kneeling between his legs in the mirror. He could see the sharp barbs running down Dragon’s back and patches of skin colored gray by sharp scales. Jade shuddered at the pleasure of having such a powerful creature kneeling for him.
Dragon once again started with gentle fingers running up his calves, followed by slow kisses. Jade relaxed into Dragon's ministrations and let himself just feel the soft lips of his lover running up his body. 
He hummed in pleasure when Dragon hooked one of his legs over his shoulders in order to finally show attention to his cock. But all Dragon did was lick a wet stripe up his twitching shaft and leave a wet kiss on the head before delving lower. 
Jade felt his hot breath over his entrance and that was the only warning he got before Dragon's hot tongue licked over him. He could feel the wet muscle dragging between the cheeks, pushing at the resisting hole before continuing up to lick at his balls. Jade bit his lip and watched Dragon's back in the mirror, his head bobbing as he continued to leave wet licks over Jade's ass. He let out a needy whine when Dragon started pushing the tip of his sinful tongue inside him.
Dragon already had a talented tongue, but when he was shifted like this it was obscene. Prehensile and long and thick, Dragon would spend hours eating him out, driving him crazy just with his tongue and making Jade cover himself in his come before he was satisfied. Not that Jade was complaining. 
Right now he was slowly fucking in and out of him, stretching his hole carefully and sending electricity up his spine. Jade buried his fingers in Dragon's hair and heard him groan, sending a new wave of shivers up his body. He twitched his hips, trying to fuck himself on that tongue before Dragon's hands gripped him in a steel grip. He knew he couldn't break the hold, but Jade still tried. The tongue slid deeper and deeper inside him, covering his walls in thick saliva and making him feel wet . Dragon pumped his tongue inside and Jade moaned as his orgasm approached. 
A pitiful whine left his lips as Dragon slid out of him just as he was about to reach his peak. Dragon left a tender kiss on the inside of his thigh. 
As Jade gasped, coming down from the brink of orgasm Dragon admired his body, kneading his thighs and petting his legs. He brought up two of his fingers and easily plunged them inside Jade. Not only was he wet and open from Dragon's tongue, but the fingers were also covered in slippery lube. Dragon covered his insides with it, but avoided his prostate and didn't tease his hole more than necessary. 
Jade bit his lip as he watched Dragon work, admiring the fire in his dark eyes. 
Dragon met his eyes and with a teasing smirk dragged his fingers right over Jade's prostate before pulling them out. 
He finally showed Jade what he brought over from the jewelry stand. 
At first Jade thought they were loose gems polished into perfect beads. But then he realized they were connected by a golden string. Six colored beads of different sizes - smallest to biggest - hung off Dragon's fingers as he let Jade see just what he had in his hands. And knowing Dragon these wouldn't be fake. Only he would have anal beads made of precious stones. 
The first bead entered him without trouble, so did the second. He felt a slight stretch of the third one and gasped as the fourth one stretched his hole open before it closed around the bead. Jade whined as Dragon slowly pushed the fifth bead inside him. He was watching Jade stretch around the toy with intense eyes and Jade shivered as he felt the beads push against each other inside him. He felt Dragon press the final bead against his rim and mewled. It was too much. It was amazing. He felt his body resist the stretch and then give in with a pang of pain followed by intense pleasure. 
Dragon teased the bead as his hole was stretched around the widest part, pushing and pulling it back out, making Jade whine in pleasure. When he finally pushed the final bead inside Jade tensed in pleasure as the gems clacked against each other and constantly rubbed on his sweet spot. Dragon licked a wet stripe up his straining cock in reward.
Dragon pet his body lovingly, urging Jade to relax and let the toy settle inside him. With a few pants of pleasure Jade made himself relax and got a rewarding wet kiss on his rim, Dragon teasing the hole with the tip of his tongue before leaving it alone.��
Jade panted as his heart rate slowed. The beads were heavy and solid inside him and he kind of wanted to move and see how that would feel. But before he could do anything Dragon got his attention back. 
Apparently the beads weren't the only thing he brought back. 
Dragon settled one of Jade's feet on his chest as he wrapped a solid gold cuff around his ankle. The cuff had dainty golden chains hanging off it and they made a lovely sound every time Jade twitched his leg. Finished with one foot, Dragon kissed the calf and lowered it down before picking up Jade's other foot and giving it the same treatment. 
He now had solid gold cuffs around his ankles that signaled his every move. Dragon was purring in pleasure as he clasped a golden leather band adorned with chains and pearls around one of Jade's thighs before wrapping an identical one around the other leg. He looked entranced at the way the chains moved on Jade's body. 
Dragon slowly rose to his feet and extended an inviting hand towards Jade. Jade let him pull him up and got to experience the feeling of the jewels moving inside his body, teasing his sensitive walls. He was glad Dragon kept a steady grip on him because the feeling of the beads shifting and pressing against his prostate made him lose his footing for a second. He gasped and closed his eyes, getting used to the feeling as Dragon waited him out. 
Jade pressed into Dragon's body, feeling the heat of his hard ridged cock press into his stomach. He reached a hand wanting to touch it but it was caught halfway up by Dragon. Dragon covered his fingers in gentle kisses before kissing the back of his hand and letting it fall back to his side. He moved Jade to stand in front of the mirror and stepped behind him. 
Like this Jade could see their height and size difference. In half shifted form Dragon was a sight to behold - a whole head taller and overall broader. He leaned back and trusted his weight to Dragon as he looked his fill. Jade could feel the hot cock press into the small of his back and twitched his hips trying to entice Dragon to move. He got a bite on his neck for his efforts. 
“Stay.” Dragon moved away with a simple command and Jade was left staring at himself in the mirror. The mirror was obviously a treasure in itself - it looked antique and masterfully crafted. The frame itself was decorated in night sky motifs with precious stones inlaid in the gold frame. It was big enough to reflect most of the room behind him, framing Jade in the middle of the picture. 
He didn't have to wait long for Dragon to reappear, this time noticing something floating behind him. He turned his head to get a better look but only saw a tray with something glittering on top of it before Dragon wrapped his clever fingers around his chin and made him look straight in the mirror, meeting his eyes. 
Dragon picked an item up from the tray and wrapped it around Jade's waist. It was a golden belt, made from tiny metal links, small and dainty enough that it was like snake scales on his skin - cold and smooth. Dragon fastened the belt around his waist before clipping golden chains on the sides. The chains connected to the belts on Jade's thighs, creating almost a golden garter belt. 
He wasn't done with the belt and continued to connect several chains with pearls hanging off them on the front and then back of it until Jade had hoops of gold and white covering his hips and framing his weeping cock and ass. 
Dragon made him tilt his head up before wrapping a heavy golden collar around his throat. Jade watched in the mirror as the big diamond in the middle glittered as Dragon fastened it close to Jade's neck, leaving him just a little breathless. 
Dragon met his eyes in the mirror and Jade couldn't look away from the heated gaze admiring him like this. He shuddered in anticipation. 
Dragon picked up the next piece and Jade got to admire it as Dragon lowered it on his collar bones and clasped it around his neck. It was heavy. The whole piece was an intricate design of golden chains holding diamonds in a starry pattern. It was so big it covered the tops of his shoulders and came down between his pecs in the middle. If Jade was breathless due to the collar before, now he was breathless at the stunning design and sheer weight of the piece as it sat on his shoulders. 
Dragon continued to adorn him in gold - Jade got heavy golden cuffs inlaid with precious stones on his wrists, delicate arm cuffs with chains dangling off, strings of pearl and diamond woven into his hair, heavy dangling earrings that were masterpieces of metalwork with intricate designs holding precious stones in ways that defied gravity, a golden dragon ear cuff wrapped around his ear so detailed it looked like it was about to breathe fire right on his ear. 
All throughout adorning him with his precious treasures Dragon didn't speak, but the low purring sound emanating from him kept getting louder like he couldn't hold it back. He kept admiring Jade in the mirror and raking his eyes all over his body. 
Jade let himself be handled and dressed, endlessly patient for his lover. Even his hard cock didn't seem as important as seeing that pleased expression on Dragon's face as he kept adding more and more jewelry on Jade. He now had rings on all his fingers and sharp nail covers on his right hand. Jade wondered if the golden woven metal caps on his finger tips could be used as a weapon if needed. 
Jade arched into Dragon's hands as they trailed up his torso and started teasing his nipples. He watched as Dragon teased the simple metal bars in his nipples and toyed with him. Jade bit his lip to stop from begging for more touch as Dragon played and pulled at his nipples before reaching over with one hand to take the nipple piercing out. First the right side then the left. 
Jade always found the feeling of the metal bar sliding through his nipple teasing in both best and the worst way. It always shot a zap of electricity straight to his groin and Dragon liked to tease him and play with the piercings for hours. Right now he was just removing them and exchanging them for another set. These had a straight bar through the middle and a half moon inlaid with jewels dangling off the bar. Jade could feel the heavier weight of the new jewelry tugging on his nipples immediately. 
And then Dragon connected a set of three chains to the both of them. Diamonds hung off the chains, adding to the weight. Jade shifted on his feet and groaned. His whole body felt heavy, the jewelry grounding him. Dragon pressed to his back and rested his hands on Jade’s waist, careful to not disturb any of the jewelry he put on him. 
Jade could feel how pleased Dragon was, his cock straining and slotting between his cheeks, leaving a trail of slick on his body. 
“You look so lovely like this.” Dragon finally grumbled in his ear, his voice thick with satisfaction. 
“I'm surprised you didn't put anything on my cock.” Jade would take anything at this point, as long as it was Dragon touching him. A dark chuckle reached his ears. 
“Of course, how could I deny you anything, my jewel.” Jade mentally kicked himself, he should have asked for a gag instead. 
Dragon walked them backwards until he sat on the divan and pulled Jade on his lap. The beads inside him shifted again, making Jade whine. He twitched his hips trying to get the beads to press against his prostate again, or to get any kind of friction on his neglected cock, but couldn't make it happen. Dragon just watched him for a few seconds before stilling him with hands on his hips. 
He rearranged Jade so he was fully leaning back against Dragon's chest, with his legs hooked over Dragon's open ones, positioning him fully on display in the mirror. Jade could see the golden string of the beads peeking out from his entrance and looked away blushing, not used to seeing himself like this. Dragon pulled on his nipple chain, making him arch his chest.
Jade jumped and clenched around the beads when Dragon finally wrapped his hand around his red cock. He whined in desperation immediately trying to rut into the warm grip and would have been happy to reach his peak like this if Dragon hadn't stopped him once again. A disappointed sob tore through him. 
Dragon shushed him with gentle kisses that turned heated fast as Dragon once again choked him on his long tongue. Sucking on the tongue in his mouth, Jade whined and scratched at Dragon's arm that was toying and tugging on his nipple chain, making electricity run through him. 
“You're delicious when you're desperate for me like this.” Dragon purred after breaking the kiss, leaving Jade panting and dazed. He didn't even notice Dragon reaching for the tray until it was too late and there was a golden band wrapped around the base of his cock. 
Jade snapped his gaze down in surprise to see Dragon wrapping a similar band around the top of his cock, right under the head. Numerous chains with pearls on them connected the bands so it looked like Jade had drops of come covering his cock. Neither of the bands was constricting enough to stop him from actually coming, so they were purely decoration. 
“Now be good for me and stay as still as you can, love.” Jade shuddered at the heated rumble in his ears as he watched Dragon bring his next item. 
A long golden rod with a single white pearl at the top, already slicked up, was in his fingers. Dragon pressed the round slightly pointed tip at his cock head as dread and anticipation ran through Jade. He was gasping, his stomach muscles clenching with the effort to stay still as Dragon started pressing the sound into his cock slit. 
It was maddening. Dragon went slow and it was both a blessing and pure torture. The sound was stretching his cock from the inside, the stretch barely there, but still felt like an electric current running over his nerve endings and lighting him up from the inside. Jade let out a long whine as the rod kept going deeper and deeper inside him, stretching him for the first time. 
Dragon kept a steady but gentle grip on his cock and groaned. 
“I can feel it from the outside.” Jade whined. He would have moved his own hand to check for himself, but he was afraid that if he loosened the grip he had on Dragon's thigh he would lose himself and start moving. 
With a zap of intense pleasure straight through him the rod was fully in and the pearl was resting flush to his cock head. He shivered at the intense pleasure of being so stretched, his prostate pressed from both sides, both his ass and cock plugged up. He would have come at the though if he could. Dragon tapped the bead at the top gently and sent electricity though Jade’s body.
He could feel how wet his back was from Dragon's cock pressed between them. He was running his hands all over Jade's body, his claws back and creating pin pricks all over him. When Jade met his gaze in the mirror it was half feral, his draconic nature close to the surface. 
His horns looked sharper, as did his teeth, his glowing eyes running all over Jade’s body, taking in the image of Jade covered in his hoard and lounging back against him. 
Jade rested his full weight on Dragon as he took in how full he felt. 
“Look at you…” Dragon sounded entranced, his voice low and growling but full of wonder. Jade swore he could smell ozone in the air from his breath, something that usually preceded Dragon spitting flames. He ran gentle hands over Jade's body and Jade knew he was entirely safe in his hold. “You should always be covered in gold. In my gold. I should just keep you like this, hidden away with the rest of my treasures.” He trailed gentle kisses and bites over Jade's neck and shoulders where they weren't covered in jewels. 
“Didn't even ask me what I wanted to do, just let me do it, you wonderful, wonderful treasure.” Dragon rearranged them a bit so he was now grinding his cock between Jade's cheeks, the massive length looking obscene in the mirror. 
It was dark and red, the tip almost black, and covered in ridges. The tip was slightly pointy and the head flared out as the ridges continued all the way down to his balls. Jade whined and started reaching for the cock, before getting stopped again. 
“You just sit back and let me do all the work, jewel. You look so pretty, you should be loved and doted on, worshiped.” He was growling directly in Jade's ear as his cock continued to rub between his legs and kept nudging Jade's balls and plugged cock. “Going to keep you full and plugged up forever, always ready to take my cock, would you like that?” Jade whined and nodded his head jerkily, lost in the pleasure of Dragon's words in his ear, his cock between his legs, his hands on his body. He felt so full and stretched, on the brink of an orgasm that just wouldn't come. 
“Look at that pretty cock of yours, taking anything I give you. Going to find you all the prettiest toys and fill you full of gems.” Dragon's breath was getting heavy, he was gasping right into Jade's ear and tugging on his nipple chain, enjoying the sounds Jade made. 
“Please..” Jade begged, not sure for what. 
Dragon chuckled in his ear. “Please what, my treasure? You only need to ask and I'll give it to you, you know that.” His tone was intense and Jade believed him a hundred percent. 
“I want to see you come. Cover me with it, please, Dragon…” Right now Dragon's pleasure was all that was on his mind. The intense heat coming off the man under him mixing with the sharp smell of ozone was making his head swim. He wanted to be covered in his hot come, feel it cooling and staining his skin, mixing in with his sweat. 
Dragon groaned and his hips moved faster, his ridged cock rubbing against Jade's plugged one. It was a special kind of torture. Jade loved every second of it. 
Dragon's hips stuttered soon after and then he was coming all over Jade's torso. His cock kept twitching and spurting, his hot spend hitting Jade's neck and covering the jewelry on him. Neither of them cared. 
Jade groaned at the warmth of it and dipped his fingers in a pool of come before sticking them in his mouth to suck it off. Dragon groaned behind him and his cock twitched, spewing a few more drops out. 
He turned his face to Dragon, begging for a kiss. His mouth was immediately filled with his long tongue shifting and fucking his mouth, hitting his throat and making him choke. Jade sucked at the sinful tongue in his mouth and guided Dragon's clawed hand to his nipple, silently asking him to play with it. He sighed at the sharp pleasure as Dragon obediently complied. 
Feeling the hot come cool on his stomach ignited the fire in his blood. He wanted to feel Dragon's massive cock inside him. The thought alone made a shiver run through him. 
Breaking the kiss with a whine, Jade looked dazedly at Dragon. “Let me ride your cock. I want it. Please…” he wasn't above begging at this point, so hot and desperate for him. 
Dragon growled, pleased. He manhandled Jade until he was sitting in his lap facing Dragon. “I want to watch you like this.” he pulled Jade closer and bent him over. Jade was sure Dragon could see his ass on display in the mirror. His suspicions were confirmed when Dragon rubbed a clawless finger over his entrance before pulling on the beads. 
Jade panted in his ear as Dragon torturously slowly started pulling them out. He whined as Dragon let the first and biggest bead stretch his hole before letting go and letting it go back inside before pulling on it again. He did it several more times, letting Jade get fucked by the gem before getting his fill and finally pulling it out. Jade gasped and wrapped his hands around Dragon's neck for support. 
He shuddered and the jewelry on him twinkled as his body shook in pleasure as the beads and the rod in his cock pressed on his prostate at the same time. He was continuously letting out little whines straight into Dragon's ear as the man continued to tease and play with him. 
He either finally had his fill or, most likely, just wanted to fuck Jade too much, and pulled the final beads out. But before letting Jade move he fingered his stretched hole and growled in pleasure at the way it stayed open for him. 
He finally helped Jade lean back and lounged against the backrest, obviously waiting for Jade to do the work now. 
Raising up on shaky knees Jade took a few steadying breaths. Finally feeling settled enough to continue, he gripped Dragon's massive cock and lined it up with his wet entrance. Slowly sinking down Jade enjoyed every second of the pleasant torture. The cock was truly obscene - big and ridged and Jade knew he would regret sitting on it as fast as he wanted to, so he had to pace himself. But that also meant he felt the flared cockhead and every ridge after it rubbing against his prostate, making his plugged cock twitch. 
By the time he had the whole glorious length inside him Jade's head was fuzzy with pleasure and he was whining uncontrollably. He finally rested his weight on Dragon, sitting in his lap to try and gather his strength to finally ride him how he wanted. 
“You look glorious like this. Going to get a set made for you with only off-white jewels and invisible strings so you always look like you're covered in my come.” Jade whined at the thought. “You like that, huh, my treasure? I'll make sure everyone knows who you belong to.” he grabbed Jade by his jaw and pulled him in for an obscene kiss, dominating him. 
Jade's head went blank. All that mattered was that he was full of Dragon everywhere. His ass full of that magnificent cock, stretching his soft walls and pulsing against his prostate. His cock tried to weep around the rigid rod inside, his pleasure so strong it actually started to push the sound out of his cock. And now Dragon pushed his long tongue down his throat, making him choke on it like he would on his cock. 
Jade was in heaven. 
He started moving his hips while still kissing Dragon, the jewelry clinking with every sudden move he made. Jade screamed into the kiss when Dragon tugged on the nipple chain roughly and then melted in pleasure as the electricity ran through his body. 
He was fully dazed as Dragon broke the kiss, the string of saliva breaking as they parted. Dragon raked his eyes over Jade and tutted at the sound halfway out of his cock. He reached out and pushed it back in one fluid motion as Jade raised his hips to fuck himself on the cock. 
The pleasure was indescribable. Dragon noticed his obvious reaction and toyed with the rod in Jade's cock, pulling it out and back in matching it with Jade's slow movements on his cock. As Jade fucked himself on Dragon's cock, Dragon fucked him with the sound. 
Jade shuddered and arched his body back, putting his palm on his abdomen to feel Dragon's cock inside him. His eyes rolled back and he threw his head back, lost in pleasure. 
He wanted to come so badly, his poor cock felt like it was on fire. But he also wanted this to never end. His whole body was brimming with ecstasy, all nerve endings on fire with pleasure as he rode the thick cock under him. Dragon tugged on the nipple chain, sending more electricity through him and the orgasm ripped through Jade unexpectedly. It was blinding in intensity and Jade's whole body tensed up. The force of his orgasm finally pushed the sound from his abused cock and he spurted come all over himself and Dragon. 
He didn't stop his hips. He couldn't. Jade kept riding Dragon's cock like he was desperate for it, prolonging his own orgasm and squeezing Dragon's cock impossibly tight. 
He could feel Dragon's hot hands on his waist, guiding his desperate movements and let the man move him, use him like a personal sex toy, only there for his pleasure. Jade whined and leaned in for another kiss that Dragon granted easily. 
With a cock in his ass and a tongue down his throat, he felt more grounded as his orgasm started ebbing away. But instead of feeling tired and wrung out Jade felt a frenzy overtake him, desperate for more. He needed Dragon to fill him up, fuck him so full of come it would leak out of him for days. He needed to feel wanted and owned by Dragon. 
He broke the kiss with a desperate whine. He kept letting out desperate little moans as he kept riding Dragon, who had started desperately fucking up into his body by now. Jade was shaking in pleasure and overstimulation. 
He kept begging Dragon for something, not sure what. But he couldn't stop the sounds coming out of him, lost in the mind numbing pleasure zapping up his spine every time Dragon pushed inside him. 
“That's right my treasure, ask me for anything you want and I'll give it to you. You're mine and I take very good care of my treasures, don't I?” Dragon was growling in his ear while fucking him brutally, his cock felt so deep inside that Jade could swear he felt it at the back of his throat. He scratched at Dragon's back, forgetting the golden claws on his fingers. But Dragon just shuddered and fucked him harder, not minding the red welts Jade left on his back. They would heal in minutes anyways. 
Jade was so close to coming, the edge so close, but he just couldn't reach it. Dragon probably read his mind because the next thing he knew he had his mouth fucked by his tongue again while Dragon’s clawed fingers toyed cruelly with his already abused nipples. 
One, two, three thrusts later and Jade was stumbling over that edge, his body tensing in white hot pleasure. He broke the kiss and yelled his pleasure as Dragon continued fucking him through it. 
“Your pleasure smells like the finest perfume. If I could keep you chained in my nest, always on the brink of pleasure I would. But I'll settle for showing you off. Make that jewelry set and take you out, make everyone jealous. I already have to deal with idiots salivating over you, if I brought you out covered in nothing but jewels and my come you'd have people begging on their knees for your attention. A Treasure like you should be worshiped.” Dragon was gripping his hips in a steel grip, trying to fuck as deep as he could. Jade's cock didn't have time to get soft before another orgasm started creeping up on him. 
“Going to fill you with so much of my come you'll be wet for weeks. Everyone will know who you belong to. And you love that, don't you, Treasure?” Jade nodded his head, far beyond words. He was riding Dragon with new desperation, fucking himself as much as Dragon was fucking into him. His poor cock was desperately leaking from the stretched hole, Jade's whole body on the edge of overstimulation. His prostate was battered and abused and the painful shocks brought tears to Jade's eyes before the pain melted into sweet pleasure. 
As soon as he felt Dragon's hot come filling up his insides he was done. The scorching come inside him warmed him from inside as Jade bit Dragon's shoulder and twitched in his grasp. His oversensitive cock twitched and spurted a few drops in the puddle of already drying come from before. Dragon was grasping at him desperately, holding him close in a steel grip and leaving bruises on his thighs that Jade knew he would admire until they healed. 
He could feel as well as hear Dragon's pleased growl emanating from his chest. Jade twitched a few more times before he settled, panting and shaking all over from the too much of it. Dragon trailed gentle hands up and down his back, letting him settle at his own pace. 
“You're so lovely, like you were made for me. The most precious thing I've ever seen, no one could make me let you go short of you telling me to…” Dragon was murmuring sweet things in his ear, his hot body keeping him warm and relaxed. Jade whined and rubbed his nose under Dragon's chin, breathing in his sweaty scent. Dragon kissed the top of his head and kept the rumble in his chest going as Jade rested his head on him, loving the sound of it. 
He was floaty and warm and so tired he just drifted. Not exactly sleeping, but not entirely awake. He didn't even notice when Dragon started taking off the adornments off his body until he felt the difference of temperature hitting his body as Dragon removed the heated metal off his skin. 
Jade shifted, surprised at how cool the room temperature felt compared to the heated metal, but settled back down at Dragon's gentle ministrations. He let himself be moved and shifted, no energy to do anything by himself. 
“Will you let me move you, Treasure?” Jade didn't even think about it, just nodded. He would like to cuddle Dragon while laying down. Unfortunately he didn't take into account the fact that Dragon had to pull out of his stretched hole and his come started leaking out. Jade whimpered at the loss and Dragon covered his face in gentle kisses to settle him down. He picked him up in his arms and Jade watched over Dragon's shoulder at the pile of glittering treasures just left sitting there on the divan. 
He rubbed his nose up and down Dragon's neck before peppering soft kisses on the skin he could reach. Dragon was still in his half shift and Jade found a spot where a patch of scales joined skin and licked there. He felt Dragon shiver and kissed the same spot. He didn't exactly want to start anything new, but always enjoyed the reaction he got out of his lover anyways. 
Finally Dragon reached the bed and spilled Jade into it. Jade didn't let go of his neck so he had to follow him into the sheets. Dragon's massive frame boxed him in on the bed and Jade looked over him. He trailed gentle fingers up his neck and cupped his face, running a thumb over his cheek, then his lips. Dragon kissed the pad of his thumb before holding it between his sharp teeth gently. 
Jade studied his face for a moment before leaning up and kissing him tenderly. Dragon was looking better, less tense than he had seen him in weeks. Their kiss was slow and toe curlingly pleasant, just a share of passion between them without an end goal in sight. Jade sighed dreamily. 
Dragon grumbled in pleasure, moving to press his body on top of Jade's. Jade enjoyed the press of him and wrapped his fingers around the base of his horns, holding him in place as they kissed. 
He felt the tail wrap around his thigh, like Dragon was scared Jade would want to get up and leave. Jade wrapped his other leg around Dragon to keep him close. 
Dragon hummed into the kiss.

Tickle Attack
Keigo Takami x reader
Prompt: Tickles.
~This prompt is a part of my Comfort Milestone Event which you can find on my Welcome page
Tumblr media
You stumble through the door to your apartment with watery eyes. Not even bothering to turn on the lights, you head straight for the couch.
Leaning up against the armrest, you start to watch some type of cooking show that was on when you turned on the TV. But you’re not really focused on the TV, you’re not focused on anything at the moment.
You hate having bad days like this, the days where you don’t even have it in yourself to let loose real tears. You just sit there numb and unmoving, hoping that eventually the bad that you had will just fade away.
~
“Angel, I’m home." Keigo chirps from the front door, having just got back from patrol. You hear his footsteps, but you really don’t have the energy to turn around and greet him like you normally would. "Where are you?"
“I’m in here,” you say softly. For a moment, you’re not even sure if he heard you or not. But then the warm weight of his arms wrapped around you from where you were sitting.
“Hey pretty, Don’t you look all cute bundled up?“He says, nuzzling into your neck.
“Hey Kei,” you say dully. Your voice sounds neglected from a lack of use.
“That is not a happy hi,” he says. “Do you want to talk about it?
Turning in your seat, you face him. Normally when he comes home from patrols, he has a sort of tired aura that clings to him, but today he doesn’t have that at all. He looks perfect, just like he always does.
You don’t really want to bring him down with your feelings, so all you can do is shake your head no. “Could you please just sit here for a little with me?“
His gaze softens as he looks at you.“ anything for you angel, we can talk about it later if you want?“
He makes sure to sit a bit away from you, so he doesn't invade your space entirely. He knows you like the back of his hand. When you are ready, you’ll curl up into his embrace and tell him everything that is troubling you.
Your eyes are unfocused as you watch the figures on television move as blurry blobs. You just sit in your melancholy state.
Through your mental fog, you feel something brush up against your leg. It’s quick and light, but you swear there was something.
Looking over at Keigo, you see him lounging on the couch, boredly scrolling through some videos on his phone.
You don’t like that he is so far away, but you really don’t want to be so clingy, so you return to the silence.
Until you feel another fleeting touch, this time it brushes along your side, making you jolt upright in your seat with a gasp. Keigo looks at you quizzically. "What's wrong Angel?" he asks innocently.
If you didn't have knowledge of his amazing poker face, you would've believed him to be innocent.
"Keigo, I know that was you."
He lets out a little whistle. “What was me?”
“Your feathers.” You huff crossing your arms, not buying his act one bit.
He looks over to where you are and lets out a cheeky laugh. "I guess there is no fooling you.” His face twists from innocence to pure deviance. " But now you know, I guess I can mess with you even more. “
He sends a full flurry of feathers in your direction. A few hold you down against the soft surface of the couch and the others brush against your skin, tickling you.
“Keigo, s-stop t-that.” You wheeze. "I-it tickles.” Your legs kick out and you keep twisting and squirming under the feather's touch, but the more you move, the more it tickles you. 
“I don’t know,” he says, walking over and looking down at you. “I think you need a little extra love today.”
You can’t even respond. Laughter is too intense. The tickle attack has brought tears to your eyes. 
Glancing up at your boyfriend, you see he is waiting for you to tap out. The minute your hand taps the couch. The feathers disappear and he sits down next to you while you catch your breath.
He gently runs his fingers through his hair, smoothing out the mess he and his feathers created. 
“Thank you,” you sigh, enjoying the feeling of proximity between the two of you. “I really needed that.”
“I know you did,” he says, helping you readjust so your head is resting on his lap.” You’re cute Angel, but sometime you gotta let me know when you’re struggling. How can I be your hero if I don’t know when you are in trouble?”
“M’sorry, I guess I’m new at this whole talking about my feelings thing,” you huff, staring up into his avian gaze. “But I think you were doing a pretty good job already.” You praise crinkling your nose up at him. 
Keigo's eyes widen in surprise at the praise and he pulls his golden orbs away from your look of admiration. 
“You think so?”
“I know so,” you say earnestly, watching a pink blush take over his features.
“Thanks,” he murmurs cupping your face. “Do you want to tell me what happened today?”
“Yea,” you say covering his hand in your own. “I think I’m ready.”

Story of Kunning Palace is everything I shouldn't like and I love it
Tumblr media
I picked up Story of Kunning Palace rather spontaneously, something to watch when I couldn't sleep, something to replace the run of really awful xianxias I keep quitting after a couple episodes. I went in knowing nothing about SoKP.
I was not prepared.
Oh, I said to myself, Zhang Linghe is in this. Fun!
Well my friends, while you should watch this because it's excellent, you should also brace yourselves. I did not expect to be utterly obsessed with this show and binge it all in like a week. Like literally I never do that. But the plot is interesting. It's beautifully shot. The cast is quite excellent. And the chemistry is off the charts.
Tumblr media
Bai Lu is fantastic in this. She takes a complex roles and nails while giving the character an undercurrent of vulnerability that should win anyone over. She has sizzling chemistry with everyone she encounters, including one character who is the human equivalent of cream of wheat, and with the princess which is utterly delightful.
Tumblr media
But Zhang Linghe. Whew, let me sit down and fan myself for a second. This is not the man who deftly played both Changheng and Xiao Run in Love Between Fairy and Devil. This is not the sweater-clad romantic his Studio seems to want to portray him as. This is... something else. Let me start with the caveat that I rarely go for the villain. I especially do not go for the villains who do not seem redeemable. And here in SoKP his character, Xie Wei, does not initially appear to be redeemable. He is a red flag a mile wide. He is a calculated mask of refinement over seething rage that always seems on the verge of breaking through. He appears capable of real violence. He sneers. He threatens. He's possessive and jealous to a disturbing degree. He generally looks disgusted with the world around him. And it is sexy as fuck. Why I am so in to this character? I can barely explain it beyond good acting and good storytelling. He is an utterly unhinged character, a veneer of civility over a feral creature ready to kill you at the slightest provocation, at least until you penetrate his armor. And then whew. You're in for quite a bumpy ride from beginning to end with his character, but so worth it for some incredible character development.
Tumblr media
This is a reincarnation story of sorts, though slightly muddled since Chinese censorship won't allow those stories. It opens on the Empress, Jiang Xuening (Bai Lu) narrating her rise to power by any means necessary only to fall when rebels over take the palace. We see a lot of cruelty and violence and then rather than dying the Empress wakes up in the past with all her memories intact.
Tumblr media
In this new life Jiang Xuening does everything she can to change events from the future she remembers, but ends up in the thick of it anyway. Along the way she collects an incredible cast of characters who all seem to fall in love with her (as you will too) and a long list of enemies so vile you will find yourself shouting at the screen for our heroes to just poison these assholes already.
Tumblr media
It is especially interesting that here many of the side characters are the kind of good and honorable heroes, with excellent fighting skills or noble birth, that you often find at the center of these stories. Our secondary characters are sunshine, sweetness, and upright morality. But our leads are intensely morally grey, rely only on their wits, and are so packed full of trauma it's amazing they can function at all. And yet the story manages to wring some incredible depictions of friendship and loyalty out of this morally dubious center and make a story so irresistible that I lost sleep to watching several nights in a row.
Tumblr media
In fairness some of that was because I just sort desperately needed more of Xie Wei the walking red flag, because whew he was so compelling. But it is truly a good and intricate story so full of twists that the constant surprise makes it even more satisfying. Highly recommend. But don't go into it looking for a sweet love story, it's a violent palace intrigue story with a side of very morally dubious and toxic romance with a smattering of consent issues, but weirdly, maybe even better for that? (And if you have a choking kink, this show will reward you!😅)
Tumblr media
(And I'm not much one for celebrity gossip, but I will say that Zhang Linghe and Bail Lu gazing at each other in promo appearances for this has real 'get you someone who looks at you like Wang Yibo looks Xiao Zhan' vibes. Their on screen chemistry is searing, but it seems to have somehow carried over to or from real life because these people seem to very much, uh, admire each other.

@schxdenfreude continued from this ask.
"Hoh? Taking credit? Please clear your throat and say that just one more time, okaaaay? I can't quite tell if that's audacity or disease talking! Actually, just looking at you... you're seriously doubting me, aren't you? I hate that more than anything else in the world!"
She lets out a laugh full of disdain and mockery. The word 'despise' is practically etched across her body when she looks at him. A woman who hates humans has had her hatred amplified tenfold, just by having to bear witness to his existence.
Tumblr media
"Regardless, I am very gracious and kind to guests! Since you've found your way here by circumstance, I suppose I can let your putrid ignorance slide just this once. You're a young man who must be educated, I can't blame you for that at all! I'll be sure to carve every inch of knowledge into this scrawny body of yours, but try not to bleed on me too much, okaaaaaaaaaaaay? Kihihihiyahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....!!!!"
She grabs his shirt collar, pulling him forward so they're practically nose to nose. Her mouth twists into a terrible, loathing grin. As if he's far less than human. As if killing him would be the same as crushing an ant.
Tumblr media
"I am Beatrice, the Golden Witch, the true ruler of Rokkenjima! Go ahead and deny me as much as you wish! In return, I'll show you a taste of torture... a special service just for people who call themselves my opponents! Ahhh, I'm getting excited just thinking about it!"
Tumblr media
                     her disdain means nothing to komaeda. he does not cower in the presence of the great witch, does not show her the respect that he should. he is insolent, foolish — perhaps even worse than your typical humans. those oozing with the anti-magic toxic.
                     komaeda does not resist being pulled into her vacinity — does not flinch — does not even show an iota of fear. he just... can't take her seriously! not in the slightest! and as she makes her claims, as she challenges him, as she promises to torture him for his his impudence...
                     ‶  hah...  ″ a wheeze, lips are quirked up in a smile as something he can't contain starts erupting past his mouth. a spirited, manic laughter. so intense that it sounds like his own lungs can't support it. his chest hurts, but he can't help but laugh through it — wheezing and gasping for breath when he must.  ‶  ahahaHAHAHAHAAHAHAA!! — hahah! HAHA!!!  ″
Tumblr media
                     ‶  amazing!  ″ madness spirals in his eyes, a sharper inhale taken so that he may actually speak.  ‶  you really do act like a real witch! — haha... you say you're going to torture me? make me bleed?  ″ he giggles, grotesque and giddy, the kind you wouldn't get from a normal person. a real human. it's almost like he's something else entirely. an aberrant being.
                     ‶  aahh... okay... that's fine then.  ″ it's sudden, but his voice suddenly calms itself. a storm turned into calm waters, eerily still.  ‶  i still won't believe it. magic... haha... how ridiculous!  ″

6 Most Underrated Al Pacino Movies
Al Pacino made awesome movies, but some really good ones didn't get enough attention. Here are the 7 underrated gems of Pacino that deserve more love.
From classic movies like The Godfather, Heat, to The Irishman, Al Pacino has been a big deal in the movie world for a long time. He's been in some of the best movies ever, and fans really love him.
But because he's been in so many movies, there are some that didn't get much attention or didn't get praised by critics, even though they're actually pretty good. So, here are some Al Pacino movies that not many people talk about, but you should definitely watch.
1. Donnie Brasko
Even though critics liked it when it came out, not many people talk about the movie "Donnie Brasco" these days. It's about a guy named Donnie who works secretly for the FBI and hangs out with a mafia hitman named Lefty, played by Al Pacino. As time goes on, Donnie becomes really good friends with Lefty, but he has to decide whether to tell on him to the FBI or go against them.
The movie is well-written, well-directed, and Al Pacino does an amazing job playing Lefty. Some folks say it's one of Al Pacino's best but doesn't get enough credit.
2. The Devil's Advocate
"The Devil's Advocate" is a movie where Keanu Reeves plays a lawyer named Kevin Lomax who joins a famous law firm in New York, led by Al Pacino's character, John Milton. The story gets pretty dark and confusing, but overall, it's a well-written movie with great acting. It also teaches us a lesson about how chasing money can make people forget about doing what's right. Even though it has some supernatural stuff, a lot of it is about real-life problems like greed, desire, jealousy, and anger.
3. Insomnia
Insomnia, a movie directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Al Pacino, is often overlooked but deserves more attention. It's about a detective named Will Dormer (played by Al Pacino) who goes to a small town in Alaska to solve the murder of a 17-year-old girl. As he investigates, he starts facing his own inner struggles and has to juggle both the case and his declining mental health. Insomnia is a lesser-known film by Nolan and is a must-see for fans of Al Pacino.
4. The Insider
The Insider is a gripping psychological drama that fans of this genre will really enjoy. Despite getting positive reviews from critics, the movie didn't become a big hit in theaters. It stars Russell Crowe and Al Pacino, who give outstanding performances that make it a must-watch.
The story of The Insider revolves around Jeff Wigand, a former employee of a big tobacco company, who turns to Lowell Bergman, a CBS journalist, to expose the shady practices of the tobacco industry. What follows is a nail-biting and intense series of events, with Wigand facing threats and warnings from the tobacco company. All in all, The Insider is a very well-crafted movie, featuring a standout performance by Al Pacino.
5. Panic In Needle Park
"Panic in Needle Park" is a movie about a guy named Bobby (played by Al Pacino) who's addicted to heroin and lives in an area full of other addicts. One day, he meets Helen, a homeless girl from the same area, and they fall in love.
Unfortunately, Bobby introduces Helen to heroin, and their love story takes a dark turn. They start doing bad things like stealing to get money for drugs. It's a really sad and tough movie to watch, but it's also a great film. Plus, it's the first movie where Al Pacino played the main character.
6. Dog Day Afternoon
Dog Day Afternoon is a really intense movie starring Al Pacino. In the film, Al Pacino's character, Sonny, and his two partners try to rob a bank in Brooklyn. But things go south fast when Sonny gets a call from the police, telling him the bank is surrounded. So, the bank robbery turns into a situation where they're holding people hostage, and Sonny is trying his best to figure out how to get out of there.
Even though the basic idea is simple, the story takes unexpected twists and turns. The movie is well-written, and Al Pacino and the rest of the cast give fantastic performances.
Go ahead and watch these if you haven't and let me know in the comments how you find them!

Whew i finslly got round to reading a study in self immolation and just wanted to say wow what an amazing fic! Your writing never fails to blow me away and your symbolism is just *chefs kiss*
Just wondering, what happens to j'zargo and brelyna after arabella leaves? I guess that would be a lot for them to process and cope with. Do they still think of her from time to time? Does she ever think of them? Also how do the staff react? Does drevis even notice she's gone? I imagine faralda and colette had a lot of thoughts about everything too
ah thank you so much! I'm very glad that you enjoyed it (and that you're giving me an excuse to ramble lol)
it's definitely a lot for poor j'zargo and brelyna to deal with. after arabella leaves the whole college is in a bit of an uproar - drevis, honestly, probably does not notice - though there's more of a sense of general shock than personal betrayal for most. brelyna and j'zargo take a break from class for Recovery Purposes (j'zargo is very thankful to colette for apparently lying about the severity of his injuries, which were relatively minor and gone by the time they get to her) and try to talk through it together a bit. they don't address it often after that, because it's difficult to talk about - onmund shows up after a while, and he hears some rumours, but they never really explain it to him.
as for arabella - she tries not to think about it. and she mostly succeeds, but we've seen how well her efforts to Not Think About It tend to go, and the intensity of that experience and the things she's convinced it taught her about herself definitely bleed through. (I have a piece set relatively soon after the end of Immolation, which showcases that a bit.)
it works reasonably well, though, until the thieves' guild questline has its fun little twist and arabella finds herself showing up at the college with an open and deeply infected stab wound, about three days away from going into full septic shock and very determined to talk to enthir. j'zargo and brelyna find her there. an awkward experience is had by all. arabella tries very hard to act like the whole situation is normal and not worth questioning (up to and including whether she has sepsis) while her grip on her thoughts has loosened (on account of being very sick with sepsis, can't stress this enough) and she finds herself having to confront the hurt she's caused. meanwhile, j'zargo and brelyna are more preoccupied with getting her to go to the fucking infirmary christ arabella you look like death what is wrong with you. it's a weird time and arabella still does not come anywhere close to showing any kind of vulnerability but having to confront them - and the fact that they try to help her despite it all - is extremely impactful for her and for j'zargo and brelyna it provides a sort of catharsis. (onmund is there by that time. he pops into the infirmary like "uh is that the one who -" and brelyna says "yes. we are not talking about it.") (colette loses her absolute shit when arabella steps foot in the infirmary too; she berates her the entire time she heals her.) (I have a bit of writing about that time... maybe I'll post it sometime.)

Cha Eun Woo's captivating performance as Priest John in 'Island' leaves viewers speechless
Cha Eun Woo left Korean and international audiences speechless with his incredible acting in 'Island's finale.
On January 13, 'Island' aired its final two episodes for season 1, and the highlight of the finale was Cha Eun Woo's heartwrenching acting as Priest John/Yohan.
The main focus of episodes 5 & 6 was the sad tale of two brothers who found each other after ages only to lose each other again. The emotions were running high in the season finale, and people were left crying to see Priest John's desperation and heartbreak. Cha Eun Woo's acting as a desperate, broken man trying to save his loved one and his tears were well-received by Knetz as well as the international audience.
Here is what Knetz said on the Korean forum about Cha Eun Woo's acting and crying scenes in Island:
Whenever Cha Eunwoo cried, I thought my heart would break
I can really see the acting here... Eunwoo is amazing. You really have everything.
Cha Eun-Woo's acting has improved a lot. He seems to have failed to shine in realistic acting because of his unrealistic appearance. I think it's the power of acting + the face that doesn't look awkward at all in that scene. It was convincing
The acting improved a lot in Island. Episode 6 was pretty good. Everyone, please watch Island, the acting is good
I cried while watching episode 6 because of Yohan's narrative.
Eunwoo also cried well during Gangnam Beauty hahaha
The acting was really good, the exorcism scene was also good
I only saw Yohan, not Eunwoo especially when I saw Yohan crying
Wow, you've gotten so much better at using facial expressions.
In the sixth episode of Ireland, Eunwoo is really good
I want to hug you.
It's a face full of narrative...It's beautiful.
I cried while watching episode 6 because of Yohan's narrative
I've never seen him act before. He's really good in Island.
He was great in both Decibel and Island
[Source]
Not only Knetz even International fans are going gaga over Priest John. Cha Eun Woo's sword-pulling pose as Yohan is trending in Tiktok, but it is his crying scenes in episode 6 that made fans teary and emotional.

So true! I knew there's bound to be news about his leveled up acting. He was effective in his role. I enjoyed this drama, mainly because of Cha Eunwoo. Let it be said, that Cha Eunwoo,the actor, has arrived.

Imagine Ava proposing to Beatrice with an engagement ring that has a divinuim stone in it so it glows every time Ava is near. Both Beatrice and Ava think it's super romantic and nobody has the heart to tell them that to people not familiar with divnium this looks as if Ava put a cheap LED light on a ring. And then one day Beatrice's mother sees it and for the first time in her life she finds something even more offensive then her daughter's homosexuality. Tacky jewelry!?!? Completely unacceptable

So here is the idea. A Xena reboot but there is a twist. The pilot starts and it's Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor having a cute lunch date in present time. Suddenly they start reminiscing about the good old days and bham. The entire first episode of Xena starts airing. And that's the entire concept of the the reboot. Every episode opens up with an immortal married Xena and Gabrielle in present time doing cute couple things for two minutes as an excuse to remember something and we just go straight to airing an old Xena episode. Completely unchanged except for one thing. Kevin Sorbo is digitally removed from all episodes and replaced with Charlize Theron

I feel like we don't talk enough about just how amazing Ava and Beatrice story line has been. Ava is a deeply deeply traumatized person. She has spent her whole life being essentially a prisoner who suffered daily abuse. She had no agency, no freedom just a vile old woman telling her all the time how she is broken, how she is a burden. The only friend she had was a child himself. The squatters she had were nice but that's just what they were nice. And the boy was hot but it was blatantly obvious that as far as Ava was concerned it was just about sex and adventure But then came Beatrice and the first thing she did was call Ava out in her bullshit but it was not done in a malicious way and I feel that Ava could feel the enormous difference between Beatrice calling her out and the vile nun who abused her her entire life. And then this fucking scene, Ava was having a full on breakdown and instantly sought comfort and Beatrice was there. Quite likely the only person who has hugged Ava and offered her real comfort for more then a decade. And then it just got more and more intense as Beatrice just kept caring, kept supporting Ava. And also kept her calling her out which I think is something Ava really appreciates because she can she that Beatrice is doing it because she believes in Ava not because she wants to hurt her But the effect is not just one sided. Look at Beatrice reaction in this gif. How stunned she is that someone is seeking comfort in her. We don't know much about her past but we know enough to form a reasonable theory. Look at the very first episode and how Mary treated Beatrice, generally how Beatrice acts with her Sister Nuns. She is friendly but you can feel the distance and based on her breakdown it's clear that her parents were deeply homophobic and knowing how cruel kids can be it's quite likely that she was shunned not only at home but in school as well making her closed, always keeping her distance so she won't get hurt again. And then comes this adorable idiot who pretty much burst through her walls, who sees her for what she is and still calls her beautiful instead of shunning her How could they not fall for each other?

My #1 post of 2022
Supergirl writers: A surprising amount of people ship Kara and Lena . I suppose we could give them some more scenes together. Strictly friendship of course but still enough to keep those shippers on the hook
Pitch Perfect writers : A crazy amount of people ship Beca and Chloe . Let’s put a few comedic scenes of them to keep them on the hook
Warrior Nun writers : A lot of people ship Ava and Beatrice so we are thinking … let’s go hard for it in season 2 . I am thinking …. . Ava and Beatrice are roommates working in a bar together . We will start with them pining for each other and being insanely jealous whenever they see someone else speaking with them . Also of course we will have them just be happy and dancing together and being so lost in each other’s eyes you could clearly see the unspoken love . Now for episode two …..

What Are the Top Hulu Originals for 2024?
Hulu has some amazing shows in 2024. These originals are perfect for anyone looking for fresh stories. One top pick is Only Murders in the Building. This show mixes crime and humor. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez star in it. The story is about three neighbors who love true crime. They find themselves involved in a real mystery. If you like suspense with a laugh, this show is a great choice. Many people love the twists and turns. It’s hard to guess what will happen next.
Another must-watch is The Handmaid’s Tale. This series continues to draw in viewers. The story is intense and full of drama. In 2024, the show gets even better. June, the main character, faces more challenges. She fights for freedom in a world where women have little control. The acting is top-notch. Each episode leaves you wanting more. If you enjoy deep, emotional stories, this one is for you. Fans often talk about how they feel after watching. It makes you think about real-world issues.
The Bear is also a hit this year. This show is all about food and family. It follows a chef who returns home to run his family’s restaurant. The show is fast-paced and full of energy. Viewers can relate to the stress and joy of the kitchen. Each episode gives a glimpse into the hard work behind the scenes. People who love food will enjoy this one. It’s not just about cooking, though. The show also dives into relationships and struggles. Hulu continues to deliver top-notch originals in 2024.

Behind the face, inside the heart, the dream is broken:
No gift shops, no souvenir Finnish witches or scarlet circles to manifest the presence of those who have never left. [1] Here the two extremes meet: [2]
Takeshis left arm he held a bit stiffly as a remaining memento of their last meeting. [3] They were really good friends, went to the playground together and set things on fire. [4] They pushed people on slides and knocked them all over [5], before they blacked out.
Today, the sun shone brightly; as brightly as if it looked upon no misery or care; and, with every leaf and flower in full bloom about her; with life, and health, and sounds and sights of joy, surrounding her on every side: the fair young Kati lay, wasting fast. [6] In the garden all around them they saw myrtles with their berries and other shrubs associated with the goddess. [7] Takeshi looks at Kati, confused by the abundance of remembrances. Face to heart talks [8]:
“Woman, fragile flower! [9] Say, do you know how this house works?"
"Ay, I do," returned the girl, meeting his gaze. [10] "There is a violet core surrounded by various shades of yellow. [11] It is very difficult to part them, for they commonly act together whether they attack, proceed, or turn back. [12] What, my dear fellow, didn’t you know that?" [13]
Even more confused than he was before, Takeshi took a step forward with confidence. A dangerous confidence. [14] He looked at her standing for a while, and then got onto his knees to see her better, changing his glasses from time to time and showing his amazement without saying anything. [15] He draws attention to the risk of bad experiences that the bride may have had and handed her a note he found in his pocket [16]. It said: "I salute, love and embrace you.” [17] The face takes off the mask.
Suddenly, the building produces a completely different feeling of transparency [18], but, using his glasses, Takeshi disclosed the material cause to be one that arose from feelings. [19] His desire was to combine the sense of continuity with the satisfaction of traditional workmanship and design. [20]
"Do you have sympathy for it, do you find it inspiring or you feel forced to do it [21] Kati asked. "Because it doesn't want to do what you want to do."
"I want stimulus, and I want it now!" [23] But since drugs from Europe were not only expensive but tended to lose their potency on the long voyage east [24], Takeshi had to resort to different instruments. “Suppose that you want a dinner in your own language?" [25] he asked Kati. "Where would you take me?"
"Helsinki, the town full of souvenir shops, strip shows and shooting galleries. [26] It will include all the hotels, swimming tanks and candy stores you desire." [27]
So he arose and went in after her and they gave not over going till they reached a saloon [28], live in the garden, a small space, with a few friends. [29] As they passed along, Kati saw something blue in the hedge, and said, “There’s some periwinkle in flower yet!” [30] In entering the saloon, which contained these beauties Kati so much sighed to see, she felt a trembling of love. [31]
What was once a neglected or even avoided space has now become the focus of intense public interest. [32] Railway stations unfold like iron butterflies, airports glisten like cyclopic dewdrops, bridges span often negligible banks like grotesquely enlarged versions of the harp. [33]
A sort of spiritual therapy was carried out there, involving music, dance, and theatrical spectacles and readings of marvellous stories. [34] The door, hidden. [35] Lethe was there.
[1] Anzaldua, This Bridge We Call Home, [2] Buffon, Natural History Vol 4, [3] Asimov, Complete Robot Anthology, [4] Koolhaas, Elements of Architecture, [5] Carter, Shaking A Leg, [6] Dickens, Oliver Twist, [7] Calasso, The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, [8] Joyce, Ulysses, [9] Wollstonecraft, Complete Works, [10] Dickens, Oliver Twist, [11] Wollstonecraft, Complete Works, [12] Buffon, Natural History Vol 7, [13] Proust, In Search of Lost Time Vol V The Captive The Fugitive, [14] Glotz, The Greek City and its Institutions, [15] Harrison Wood Gaiger, Art in Theory 1648 1815, [16] Foucault, The History of Sexuality Volume 3, [17] Rousseau, Collected Works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, [18] Koolhaas, Elements of Architecture, [19] Leatherbarrow Eisenschmidt, Twentieth Century Architecture, [20] Ackroyd, London A Biography, [21] Koolhaas, Elements of Architecture, [22] Koolhaas, Elements of Architecture, [23] Koolhaas, SMLXL, [24] Herbert, Floras Empire British Gardens in India, [25] Koolhaas, Delirious New York, [26] Carter, Shaking A Leg, [27] Koolhaas, Delirious New York, [28] The Book of the Thousand and One Nights Supplementary Nights, [29] Serres, Hermes Literature Science Philosophy, [30], [31] Rousseau, Collected Works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, [32] Gandy, The Fabric of Space Water Modernity and the Urban, [33] Koolhaas, Junkspace with Running Room, [34] Foucault, History of Madness, [35] Koolhaas, Elements of Architecture

Just cuz he’s in a cult don’t make him a bad dude. He has morals and class.
The industry just don’t like him cuz he is one of the few that pulled themselves up to stardom from poverty.
All these people like “why isn’t Tom using his platform to acknowledge or address all this shit” y’all…he’s in a fucking cult that has been proven to control their members access to internet. He probably *cant*. Besides promoting his movies he don’t have access to internet or social media.
He only has himself, and he knows his name matters. He personally-personally went to CAA and tell them that they are wrong and he’s backing his agent up and let her keep her job w him. That is bare minimum but is some how more than what other actors (that one kid handing out stickers saying genocide is sexy) are doing in the face of this conflict
The industry just hates this guy. Becides the cult stuff (I’m not going to defend that he’s in way to deep but also do remember that when told about Xenu he ran away. A ex member was there that day he was told about the alien shit and he told the people “what the fuck is this sci-fi bullshit” and then ran to London with his family and unofficially left the cult for 3 whole years. Unfortunately it was the Movie Eye wide shut which if you know what the director put Tom and Nicole though… anyway at the end of filming the cult tracked him down and stalked/harassed him till he rejoined. Tom did try to leave! Unfortunately he went to the wrong director for safety. But after that yes the cult is bad.)
The journalists hate this guy! They constantly constantly take things out of context to twist him into an awful person (again not included cult stuff)
Ex: the women from MI2 who said “Tom is to intense for me he scared me.” The full quote is “the MI set was very intense and stressful, Woo during this one scene (on the balcony) didn’t know what he wanted and refused to speak to Tom and I about what he was looking for. Tom was frustrated, this movie is his baby and Woo was just pretending to not Speak English. He was trying to coach me though the scene about what Tom was looking for. He even played my character for a while to show me what he wanted. But it was hard and stressful and Tom was just getting more and more anxious about getting the scene to work as he and Woo wanted. So when they offered me to come back I said no because It was a very stressful environment” And it was just that one scene she says later that after that hurtle was jumped he relaxed and was an amazing guy
And then the other actors
Alec Baldwin: “he’s a control freak I don’t want to work w him again.” - full quote:“he’s just very intense and is a perfectionist for his roles, I’m not jealous of what stress he puts himself into to be perfect in his roles”
And the that Outsider actor who called him insane the full quote was “when he heard that we didn’t get our own room he was ballistic. I don’t blame him though like we were both sweating and tired after what the director put us through and it wasn’t even room we were in cots. And I just remember think yeah, this is how you act when you make it big.”
Like Jesus the tabs are painting Tom to be a fucking villain who is hated by everyone. I think that if Tom was an actual psycho (marriage and cult excluded because idk enough about that) there would be a lot of truthful quotes and not cut out and twisted ones.
All people wanna do is focus on the cult and not the genuine good or moral things Tom does.
“I can’t believe Tom Cruise of all people would stand up for his agent, a Muslim Libyan-American woman, who was being publicly blacklisted for her support of Palestine and calling out the ongoing genocide, including making a rare in-person appearance to CAA headquarters in LA to express his support for her. What a strange person who can ever guess what opinions he will have.”
Look. I’ve studied Tom Cruise a lot. One could even call me a Cruisologist. (Not to be confused with. Well.) And, it’s actually really easy to predict Tom Cruise’s opinion on something. The tricky part is whether it will be made public in a timely manner or not and, if it’s made public at all, will it be a lede buried in favor of pushing a narrative sold on background by a studio exec he pissed off because he didn’t roll over and take their bullshit.
