#iridescent swimsuit

[werecreature-addicted]

Could you do a headcannon where a merman keeps begging to hold his human mate and use them like a cocksleve as he swims around? Because I imagine a merman who isn’t ready for his human to go to shore yet and just wants to fill them with pups and kiss them until they can’t remember anything

"it's getting dark, the water is going to be too cold for me soon, I need to go," you protest, the mermaid that has you trapped just chitters happily and squeezes you tightly. You float in the middle of the ocean on top of his chest as he swims in lazy circles, you hadn't realized how far away from shore you'd drifted. you'd need him to swim you back there's no way you could get back to land by yourself. and it's clear he isn't ready to let you go, especially because he's not so subtly grinding his sheathed cock against your hip.

"how about you take me to shore-" this earns you an unhappy growl "and fuck me against the rocks, give me a nice clutch," you purr, this seems like a much better idea to him. he nudges your hip again and looks at you with pleading eyes.

"fine you can keep it in me while we swim over there," you agree, and shift your swimsuit to the side and reach between your two bodies, you feel the place where his skin goes from human flesh to sleek scales, you feel the bulge where his cock lies, slowly you rub your fingers over his slit, coaxing his long tentacle-like cock free. he whines as his hips buck trying pitifully to fuck himself into you, his dick writing with a mind of its own. you grasp his length and guide it to you. he purrs happily as he sinks inside of you, he grips you with his hands pushing your ass down to grind against his hips. your breath catches as his prick writhes inside of you, he's so deep inside of you that it almost hurts.

"swim," you remind him. he nuzzles your neck nipping at your skin with his sharp teeth, almost like he is trying to tempt you to stay out a little longer. you push his shoulder. "We have a deal swim to the shore and fuck me there," you insist. Slowly he turns you toward the shore and starts lazily swimming, taking his time getting there, just enjoying the feel of you wrapped around his dick.

The sun is completely set by the time you reach the sandy beach, it's just the two of you as he pushes you out of the surf onto the wet beach, pinning you down beneath his body. in the moonlight, he seems to glow silver, and his scales glitter iridescent. He nuzzles your neck again bitting your shoulder, and this time you let him, his hips roll against you as he fucks you, filling you with his thin twisted cock filling you up with his brood.

Beach date ✧

Plot: A date at the beach with your grumpy boyfriend after one of his big games.

.part two.

Even though he loathes anything involving sand, surf and sweat, you somehow still managed to wheedle Sae into this "relaxation outing" with your pleading pouts and promises of indulging his every grumpy demand.

That signature scowl etched deeper into those striking features the second his restless soles hit the gritty shoreline.

"This is already the last damn time," Sae grumbled under his breath, squinting against the bright sunrays glaring off the turquoise waves.

You simply grinned, tugging him further down towards the water's edge knowing full well it was an empty growl.

While Sae stubbornly insisted on laying out that ratty old beach towel, you immediately stripped down to your swimsuit and raced into the refreshing shallows with a joyful whoop.

Splashing around like an excitable puppy until those cold droplets sprayed his exposed skin, earning you a murderous glare that only widened your cheeky grin in response.

"Come on , Sae! Just dip those toes in for me?"

That dry monotone somehow conveyed simmering irritation despite the lack of inflection. "I'll deteriorate into salt and misery, thanks."

Laughter tinkled from your parted lips while giving an exaggerated pout specifically to nettle him further.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Sae dragged himself into the gentle surf with a weary sigh - arms hanging sullenly at his sides even as you circled him in teasing loop-de-loops.

Every few passes, you'd ghost those pruning fingertips along the taut cords of his neck and abdomen just to delight in Sae's visible shiver.

The creeping blush prickling high across his cheekbones when stealing not-so-subtle glances at your glistening, bare curves.

"Eyes off the merchandise, baby." you crooned with no bite, relishing the scathing scowl you received in return despite his appreciative leer lingering a bit too long.

Eventually coaxing him to lounge chest-deep in that sublime bath while tucking your delicate frame against his front.

Pillowing your head into the cradle of Sae's sturdy shoulder as those strong limbs subconsciously moved to cradle your lower back and thighs underwater.

His mouth remained pressed into that perpetual hypercritical line, though the tiniest sparkles returned to those jaded chips the longer he sat absorbing your serene surroundings and warmth.

Well aware this was precisely the type of simple, intimate moment his thundering spirit craved - no matter how stubbornly Sae refused to admit it.

At some point, you noticed his free palm blindly combing through the foamy shoreline in search of something. Eyes half-lidded while simply absorbing the rise and fall of your entwined figures caught in that gentle rhythm.

Until finally, Sae's fingertips resurfaced curling around some sand-caked treasure he silently brushed off before holding it up for inspection.

A petite pink conch shell with subtle striations and a mesmerizing iridescent interior that immediately reminded you of Sae's captivating irises.

Gazing upwards, you noticed the barest hint of a softened look clouding those very same eyes as the shell turned slowly in his calloused grip - brow smoothed into something almost tender before flicking that intense stare sideways to meet yours.

"...it reminded me of that mouthy little smile you're always wearing like an idiot."

Sae's sardonic tone attempted hiding the tiniest curve peeking out at the corners of his mouth while depositing the conch treasure into your waiting palms - maybe allowing the ghost of delight to play across his stare too before tucking you snug into the shelter of his throat again.

No further sentiments necessary beyond you silently tracing those intricate swirls with your thumb, mouthing 'I love you too, grouch' against the salt-tinged skin warming your cheek until he absorbed that affirmation with a low grumble vibrating clear to your bones.

Sae might swear he loathed these tender, peaceful interludes...but you recognized that lie reflected in the contentment etching his guard-less features and iron grip refusing to let go.

Staying firmly anchored to his tranquil island for as long as these stolen pockets of paradise allowed.

The Misfortunes of the Silent

Third P3 Club Book, story time! This time, we're focusing on Minato/Makoto. Enjoy!

___________________________________________

"Cool and taciturn."

"Brazen and emotionless."

"I don't know what you're thinking."

Ever since I became aware of things, I felt like I have been evaluated that way by others. It has been half a year since I transferred to Gekkoukan High School, but that assessment of me has not changed, and I think it is accurate. On the outside, at least.

Although this is merely my own assessment, I am by no means emotionless or cold-hearted. I enjoy talking nonsense with Junpei in the classroom - mainly about the types of women he likes. If a friend is hurt during a fight with a shadow, I naturally feel angry.

If Mitsuru finds out about the disastrous results of the short test and looks at me with a look of "it can't be helped," I feel a little sad, but when I go with Tomochika for some delicious Nabeshima ramen, I feel the utmost happiness.

I feel joy, anger, sadness and happiness just like everyone else. However, it seems like I just can't show it. Is it because of my hairstyle, which completely covers half of my face when I looks down? Or is it that the death of my parents 10 years ago is causing a communication disorder that I don't even realize I have?

If I were to criticize myself, it might be that I have a somewhat passive attitude toward things. When someone else is entrusted with making a decision for me, there are three options that come to my mind.

Yes.

No.

Whatever.

Of these three options, I tend to choose the lowest option, the one that gives up my decision. This may be a way of life I unconsciously acquired as I grew up, having lost my parents at an early age. Of course, in situations where such escape is not allowed, I have the ability to firmly judge whether something is right or wrong. However, in less important situations, such as when Yukari asked me what I was going to do after school, when Sanada asked me if he looked good in his summer swimsuit, or when Fuuka asked me how I was spending my days off, I gave answers that could be interpreted as either positive or negative. Just the day before yesterday, when I was asked for my opinion of Aragaki's homemade authentic Indian curry, I nodded my head so loudly that it almost made a buzzing noise, praising it, but this was purely because the curry was undeniably delicious. It had nothing to do with the fact that Aragaki's eyes were like, "I'll kill you if you say it's bad." No, not at all.

Anyway, in most situations, I'm able to get through with this iridescent reaction without any problems. I don't feel any particular inconvenience. Those close to me are already aware of my reaction.

Once they get used to it, they will ask you questions like, "So, do you want to hang out together?", giving you an easy answer with two choices, or they will automatically accept it and say, "Oh, that's fine."

So I thought that was fine.

("Is that so?")

That night when Aigis had made the effort to visit my room, I'd missed the crucial part of her question, probably because of my carelessness. Thinking back on it now, I probably should have just asked her to say it again. However, it was already past 1 AM when we'd returned from Tartarus, and my mind was filled with the usual thoughts of what to do about the English test I was due to study the next day. On top of that, I was feeling sleepy from fatigue, so the usual words slipped out of my mouth. "......XXXXX"

No, to be precise, I think I said it. To be honest, I don't remember what I said. What I remember, though, is the indescribable look on Aigis' face when she heard those words. "......!?"

Is this confusion? Disappointment? Sadness? Did I say something wrong?

However, just as I was about to ask again, Aigis suddenly lowered her gaze and said, "... Understood."

No matter how you listen to it, Aigis left behind a word that could hardly be described as a reassurance, “Understood,” and then she slammed the door shut.

My voice, which was usually low-key, seemed to have become even lower in tone. But I still didn't feel anxious. If there was a problem, I could just check it out tomorrow. Up until now, doing things that way had been fine. That was fine. So I changed my mood and went to bed as usual.

But that was not going to be good.

During the break right after the third period, while Junpei and I were having our usual silly chat, it was Yukari who spoke to me. No, she didn't seem calm enough to start a conversation. She leaned over me, one hand on the desk as if to put all her weight on it, and her posture and expression conveyed an extraordinary sense of tension. In short, Yukari appeared to be extremely angry.

"What's wrong, Yukari-chan? You seem pretty grumpy."

Junpei was about to say something when Yukari suddenly turned to him and fell silent at the look she gave him. A cold sweat broke out on Junpei's face. She had a look that said, "If you butt in, I'll kill you." In the background, I thought I saw the word "glaring" written in handwriting.

Then, her gaze slowly returned to me. I've said it many times before, but no matter how cool or calm I appear on the surface, I have emotions and get upset just like everyone else. I'm sure no one around me would understand, but right now, I felt the greatest fear of my life. Strangely, I felt a familiarity with this sensation. Was this from ten years ago? Moonlight Bridge? Such words came to my mind, and just as I was about to remember something I shouldn't remember, the threat that was unreasonably approaching me, Yukari's beautiful lips spoke the next words.

"Hey you, what happened with Aigis?"

"???"

What on earth was this all about?

Of course, I had a hunch. My conversation with Aigis last night was threatening to cause some kind of problem. But why was Yukari angry about it? And what about Aigis herself? It was then that I realized I hadn't seen Aigis since this morning. It was truly heartless, and I could only assume that she hadn't been there since the first period. However, my thoughts were cut short by Yukari's next words.

"Depending on the answer..."

Perhaps because I didn't answer immediately, Yukari's anger gauge seemed to be about three bars full. And it erupted in words.

"Your annoying bangs! I'm going to shave them all off and write the word 'meat' on your forehead!"

To repeat, no matter how calm or collected I appear on the surface, I have feelings just like everyone else, and there are situations I would rather avoid than risk my life for. That was the situation right now. I had no choice but to confess everything that happened last night to Yukari. Did anyone around me notice the greasy sweat on my forehead...?

"...I see."

Yukari said this while standing with her arms crossed, and then let out a big sigh. It was her reaction immediately after I recounted the events of the night before. I'd been daydreaming and missed Aigis' question, and yet had replied with something along the lines of "It doesn't matter," and that I'd meant no ill will in that response, it was just a conditioned reflex, and I'd even talked about part of the process that led to the formation of my own personality from the memory of 10 years ago to the present. Honestly, it felt like it'd been a long time since I'd talked this much. It was more than the amount of words I'd uttered in a month (including the summoning call for Personas during battle).

"I didn't know you... you were able to talk so much..."

Junpei, who had been listening to the whole thing from the side, said something rude and honest. It may seem annoying, but even if I appear quiet on the surface, it is possible for me to talk like a normal person.

I looked at Yukari's face with trepidation, and fortunately the anger had disappeared. Instead, I saw an expression of astonishment, or perhaps pity? And with that expression, Yukari began to denounce.

"...Insensitive."

Lol.

"...no common sense."

Lolol.

"...You have no understanding of women's hearts and are easily swept away by the situation. You are indecisive, shallow, and inconsiderate, and you can't tell the difference between what is right and wrong to say. You're just like Kitaro!"

Lolololololol!

I'm sure you're tired of hearing this, but on the surface- (omitted) -she hits hard- (omitted) -it hurts.

"Stop it, Yukari! This guy likes to have his hair like this!"

No, I like my hairstyle. Yukari ignored Junpei's stupid comment that didn't even help his point. Yukari began speaking seriously. "Okay. Now, I'm going to tell you all the horrible things you said to Aigis..."

The gist of it was this: in the second semester, Aigis, who had become a classmate, was worried about the eating habits of the person she had sworn to be by his side, and finally came to Yukari yesterday to ask for advice.

"...It appears that this person only eats bread purchased from the school store. In addition, he repeatedly eats fast food and ramen on his way home from school. From a nutritional standpoint, this is likely to pose a high risk of harm to his health."

"Hmm? Well, he likes it, so isn't that okay?"

"No! A healthy mind resides in a healthy body! Japanese people have the right to live a healthy and happy life!"

It seemed like she was extremely angry.

“Ah, yeah, yeah, I get it. Calm down a bit, Aigis. …Okay, then, how about this?”

And then Yukari suggested:

"What about lunch boxes? I make them sometimes too. It's easy to manage your nutrition, and if you do it well, it's economical too. Well, when I have morning practice I skip them though."

"Packed lunch...I see, this is what they call C-rations, isn't it?"

"No, I don't think it's a common term."

"Is that so? More importantly... how about some bento?... I can certainly say that this is the perfect strategy for the situation!"

"Oh, you're interested, Aigis. All right, I'll help you then!"

…And so, after that conversation, Yukari taught her as much cooking technique as she could, and finally, Aigis went to check on the menu I wanted.

Last night. I mean.

"Aigis was worried about your health and wanted to cook you a meal with love, but you said you didn't care!"

"H-how terrible..."

Even Junpei, who was usually a carefree person, agreed with Yukari's denunciation. It's true... I couldn't help it if she said that. Even I now realized that I said some terrible things. Even if it was due to an oversight or misunderstanding.

At that moment, I suddenly noticed people staring at me. They were cold, piercing gazes from all around me. I raised my head and saw my classmates, who had been standing at a distance with their ears turned up to the level of a microphone or a wiretap, staring at me and muttering to each other.

"...So that's the kind of person he is..."

"Aigis, I feel so sorry for you."

"Damn it, my Aigis!"

"He's really cold..."

They were all saying what they wanted, but right now, there was no room for them to argue. It was really annoying, but (omitted) they were just (omitted) crying (omitted). Unconsciously, I bit my lower lip hard. What I felt in my heart was not anger at the accusation, but a feeling of apology towards Aigis. So I accepted the attacks from those around me in silence.

"What? What's wrong?"

"Well, it was him who did this to Aigis-chan..."

Eventually, even students who were unaware of the situation began to join in the irresponsible and unashamed accusations.

"What?! Seriously?"

"Wh-what? What's going on?"

"So that's why it's so awful."

"That is a pity."

Blah, blah, blah.

A familiar, cool voice, followed by a commotion, caused the surrounding noise to stop abruptly. I looked up to see what was going on, and was so shocked that my heart almost jumped out of my chest. Then, a feeling of relief I had never experienced before spread through my heart. Of course, neither emotion showed on my face.

"You are someone important to me, but I cannot condone words or actions that hurt someone. Therefore, I demand that you apologize as soon as possible."

Of course, without any hesitation, I turned to the girl in front of me, Aigis, bowed deeply and apologized. Aigis, who was the one receiving the apology, tilted her head in confusion.

"Am I the one who was hurt?"

Later, during the lunch break after the fourth period class, we left our curious classmates behind and came to a place where we could have a leisurely chat - the rooftop. In front of me was, of course, Aigis, the main person involved. Next to me was Yukari, who knew the situation, and Junpei, who was not really involved but was still a friend, all listening to the conversation with serious looks on their faces. We explained to Aigis what had happened so far, and timidly asked if I had hurt her with my careless words and actions last night, and received a reply.

"These are completely unfounded worries. To be frank, I think they are completely pointless concerns. Thank you for your efforts."

(Boom!)

To be honest, Aigis' words had probably hit me 100 times harder than the condemnation I'd heard from my classmates earlier.

"B-but!"

Yukari asked Aigis in a panic, perhaps because of the harsh words she had spoken earlier.

"Then why were you so late today? I hadn't seen you since this morning."

"Of course, I was making lunch."

"You're kidding! Have you used the dorm kitchen?"

"Yes. However, there were limitations to what the dormitory facilities and materials could provide... You said anything was fine, right? You requested that naan should be used. However, the real thing should be baked in a special oven called a tandoor oven."

"Huh? Ah... well... I feel like we're not talking properly right now."

"And so..."

As she said this, Aigis pulled out a large basket from behind her and opened the lid.

"I have brought you the naan and authentic Indian curry you requested!"

A satisfied smile appeared on her face, as if she had gotten her revenge.

Normally, if you want to eat naan, you say "naan is good," not "naan is fine," and there were many other things I wanted to say, but for now, the freshly baked naan was delicious, as it was my first time eating it. The clear autumn sky and the open rooftop lunch setting added a nice spice to the meal. She had made extra, so Junpei and Yukari were all smiles as they alternated between munching on the naan and curry. By the way, it seemed that the authentic curry was given to her by Aragaki-senpai, who had given her some of the curry that had been prepared the day before yesterday.

I suddenly looked to my side and saw Aigis peering at me with a worried look on her face. When our eyes met, she asked me timidly.

"How does it taste?"

I would tell her without hesitation, blending my honest feelings with just a little bit of remorse.

"It's so delicious."

Junpei and Yukari looked surprised when they saw me like that. How rude. I have emotions like everyone else. Of course, when something makes me happy, I laugh like everyone else.

Moonlight Jellies

Pairing: Sebastian (SDV) x f!Reader

A/N: Based on an interaction between my married farmer and Sebastian in the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies where he said, "I remember the first Moonlight Jellies festival that you came to. You didn't notice, but I was watching you when the jellies came up. You looked beautiful in that blue light..."

I think it's from the new 1.6 update but it was too cute. I felt inspired.

Not proofread but I will in the morning and update on ao3 too :)

------

Summer was coming to an end, with the weather cooling down significantly over the past few days. It was your first Summer in Pelican Farm, having moved to the town only one season ago for a fresh start. Mayor Lewis had excitedly told you about the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies and how it was a must-see on the final day of the Summer season.

Pelican Town traditionally saw out the Summer months with this festival every year, with the entire of the town coming to witness the spectacle at the beach. Even Abby, Sam and Sebastian were going to be there.

The four of you had made fast friends, being around the same age, and having similar interests made it all the more easier to join their friendship group. Fortunately you fit in incredibly well.

Unfortunately, however, you'd developed a crush on Sebastian. The dark-haired emo boy who lived in his mother's basement. Yup, that's the one.

It had been unexpected. And you were pretty sure he didn't like you back. And it's not like the crush was even that strong, right?

Yeah, sure you had thought he was cute when you first met him. And yeah, sure you had thought about him every day at least twice. Oh, and sure, you were often seen heading to his house to drop off a Frozen Tear but you didn't mean anything by it, right?

Genuinely, you thought you had everyone fooled until Abby pulled you aside at the saloon the night before the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies.

"What are you going to wear tomorrow night?" She asked.

"Probably some jeans and a shirt... why? Do I need to dress up? Will I need a swimsuit?" You started to panic, fearing you weren't quite as prepared for the festival as you thought you were.

"No... I just- It's one of Sebastian's favourite holidays and... I think it'd be nice if you dressed in that dress Emily made for you." She stuttered out.

"Huh? What's that black dress got to do with.... Abby..."

"What? I know you like him. And I see how he looks at you. Why don't you give him something new to look at?" She wiggled her eyebrows, gesturing to your body.

Not sure if it was the alcohol in your veins or if it was a newfound surge of confidence, you agreed. Well, Abby made you swear that if you didn't then you had to give all your pumpkins to her for the entire of the Fall season. Nevertheless, you agreed.

The next day, you arrived at the beach at 10pm exactly, excited to see an age-old traditional in your new town. As promised, you were wearing your new (f/c) dress, and you had to admit: you looked damned good.

You made your way around the townspeople, speaking to everyone where you could, finally landing on your three friends.

"Whoa, you look nice!" Sam exclaimed.

"You wore it! It looks great!" Abby smiled, pulling you closer to the edge of the pier.

"Thanks guys." You blushed, looking at your friends. Sebastian hadn't said anything but you could see a faint tint of red on his cheeks, which only served to make your face flush more.

He looked at you and gave a shy smile, before turning back towards the sea. The Dance of the Moonlight Jellies began, illuminating the beach with their iridescent blue glow.

It was breath-takingly beautiful.

Sebastian felt the same as he looked at you, bathed in the blue light from the jellyfish. It gave you an ethereal glow, like a goddess.

"I see a green one!" Abby yelled.

You lean forward to see if you can make out the rare green one you'd heard so much about.

"Oh! I see it! Abby, I see it!" You exclaimed excitedly back at her.

Sebastian smiled to himself, another blush creeping up on his face. That night made him realise that he had to tell you how he felt.

What do the RO’s look like?

I’ll add the other RO’s appearances here when I announce them.

S- S is 5’9 with tanned skin, straight blonde hair cut along the jawline and left as is, and light blue eyes. Sophia typically wears sundresses with a floppy hat and Simon usually wears a white button-down with some buttons opened at the top and matching white shorts and sunglasses. 

I- Mermaids are huge, so I is around 7ft. Their skin is bronze and their hair is dark and coily and reaches just past their shoulders. Their eyes are purple, and so is their tail. Their tail is a dark iridescent purple with multiple fins on the side of it, and the large fin at the end of their tail has a very ribbon-like texture. As for their chest, Idris is completely bare-chested, while Iris I’d imagine uses some kind of seashell bra with various jewelry pieces decorating it. Most likely because she saw human women covering their chests when they wore swimsuits and thought it looked cool. Here’s a reference for their tail and bra, in case you wanted it.

M- Again, mermaids are huge, so M is around 8ft. Their skin is porcelain and their hair is dark and wavy. Madeline’s hair reaches her mid-back, and Malachi’s hair reaches just below his eyebrows. Their eyes are a forest green color, and their tail is completely black with two fins on the side, and their large fin has a similar texture to that of a bat wing. As for their chest, both Madeline and Malachi are completely bare-chested. Here’s a reference for their tail, in case you wanted it.

A- A is around 8 feet tall (or would long be a better word for a mermaid?). Their skin is a honey tone, and their curly hair is a medium brown. A’s hair reaches their mid back, and their eyes are golden brown. Their tail is gold and blue, with two large fins on the side and the large fin at the end having a very satiny? texture. As for their chest, Altair has some scales running up the left side of his chest and along his arm, and Astrid has scales running up the sides of her torso and covering her chest. Here’s a reference for their tail, in case you wanted it.

L- L is 6’2 and has beige-colored skin, with wavy brown hair that touches Luca’s forehead and Leilahni’s shoulders. L has light greenish-blueish eyes, like the color mint. L is mostly seen in their red bathing suit, but they can be found in tank tops/crop tops and denim shorts when they're not. 

T- T is 6’4 with an umber skin tone with brown eyes. T has black coily hair. Theodore keeps his cut close to his scalp and left as is, while Thalia’s reaches her jawline and is also usually left as an afro. Thalia is usually seen wearing a loose striped shirt with the front tied and white shorts. Theodore wears a button-striped shirt with the top buttons open and white shorts.

Are the mermaid tails inefficient and unrealistic? Maybe, but who cares. Fantasy logic, right?

Beetles living in the dark teach us how to make sustainable colors

Inspired by beetle cuticles, scientists have developed optical structures that can produce vibrant, iridescent and completely biodegradable colors using chitin—the world's second most abundant organic material. "Extreme scarcity conditions have enabled natural materials to evolve into some of the most extraordinary materials on Earth, such as incredibly strong spider silk and impact-resistant seashells," said Javier Fernandez, Associate Professor of Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). Throughout history, scientists have consistently turned to nature for inspiration to solve problems and develop new technologies, from da Vinci's flying machines modeled after birds to efficient swimsuits that mimic shark skin.

Yesterday, Makena and I went to my favorite beach! 🏖️ It was sunny and hot outside (over 90° F), but there was a nice brisk breeze, so we decided to forgo the bus and walk the few blocks to the beach.

When we got there, the beach was busy, but not quite crowded. Kids built sandcastles, had water fights, and tossed balls back and forth. Adults lounged on the grass and at the picnic tables. Everyone went in and out of the water. A couple people had a beautiful golden retriever 🐕 sitting with them, and I stopped to say hello. While I was petting the soft furry ears, the dog’s humans and I talked about our pets, local bars, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show shadowcast that I sometimes perform with.

After saying goodbye to the dog, Makena and I took some photos on the beach before I got in the lake (leaving her on the empty lifeguard tower so I could easily keep an eye on her). The water was perfect; I never wanted to get out! 🏊 I had to remind myself that I didn’t want to leave Makena unattended for too long in order to persuade myself back to shore.

I sat on a bench and ate a late lunch/early dinner I’d brought along while Makena sunbathed ☀️, before the siren song of the water called me back one more time. 🌊 We didn’t pack up to go back home until it was about 7:00 pm and the sun was low in the sky.

Marley originally only bought the Disney ily Ursula set for the shell purse that came with it, but Makena had recently discovered that the shirt made a perfect swimsuit cover-up! The waves crashed and children ran around the two of them, squealing happily, as Makena looked for a good spot to lay out her towel. (She ended up deciding that the sand was too crowded, and set up a little spot on the empty lifeguard tower instead.)

She took off her sandals and pulled off the cover-up, revealing her new swimsuit: an iridescent purple that reflected back the sunlight in ever-changing shimmers. She waved for the camera while Marley snapped a photo.

After wading a little, Makena settled into her perch on the lifeguard tower and sipped a frozen drink while Marley headed into the water for a swim.

When Marley came back, Makena stretched out on her towel to sunbathe while Marley occupied himself eating a lakeside lunch/dinner.

Rating Star Trek TOS costumes because why not! (part 8)

Friday's Child (2x11). Look at these men. Look at them. The joy this image brings me? Unparalleled. It took me five minutes to stop laughing when I first watched the episode. I love this show so much, 100/10.

In comparison to her fellow actors this episode, this actress looks so drab. There's the slightest hint that her costume's related to the others with that little accent of blue faux fur but it's like they're not even trying. That said, I like this outfit well enough on its own, especially the iridescent veil, very fancy. 7/10.

The Deadly Years (2x12). Please try to ignore old man McCoy in the background there and focus on how adorable this jumpsuit is. The fabric is not my favorite but the colors, pattern and cut are all cute. And it has pockets! 8/10.

The Gamesters of Triskelion (2x16). It's giving Bootleg Barbarella and I mean that as a compliment. The blown out green wig with this silver bikini and harness is such a weird choice, I kind have to love it. 9/10.

This on the other hand... man, they did this actress dirty. The worst part by far are the fake eyebrows but I also hate that this swimsuit looks so baggy on her - at least give her clothes that fit! That said, the colors of the suit, body paint and wig all compliment each other nicely. 4/10.

Lumping the boys together because there's not a lot to say. Most of the time (though not always, as per the top of this post) the men in TOS get saddled with much less interesting costumes than the ladies. It is funny to me that this dude's skimpy gladiator outfit is quilted. I also do like a goatee, though the plain black cloak with the fire-engine red collar is about the most boring thing they could have done with this concept. 2/10.

Honestly? Slay. They should make harnesses part of the official Starfleet uniform. 10/10.

Okay so obv pch is never coming back but because I loved the summer beachy vibe I’m making a wave 2 for my own benefit 😌

First of all, we should have gotten pch twins like hello every other school got a two pack of twins? The twins are navy blue sailor stripe and mermaid iridescent girls, maybe navy has a pixie cut w nylon hair (always mad about Avery lol), mermaid has long wavy hair ofc. Mermaid girl also comes w a tail of COURSE w regular swimsuit bottoms underneath.

As for the actual second wave, I really liked how w1 included a rainbow high character! If they did a second wave I feel like it would end up being amaya bc duh, but bc this is my pch2 it’s gonna be Gabi or Sheryl. Whichever isn’t in w2 is in w3!

The other six dolls:

Coral red! HOW was this not in w1?? Coral red would be beach sporty, with cornrows (more protective hairstyles please!), a hibiscus print rash guard, hibiscus board shorts, slide sandals, sport sunglasses, and a visor. She also comes with either a surfboard like Finn or a boogie board.

Valencia Orange! When I think of summery warm colors of course I think of orange. Early aughts vibe, Valencia orange has two big orange Afro puffs (similar to jh krystal), an orange slice hair clip, a bright orange one piece, a scalloped orange cover up dress, and orange cork platform sandals. She’s also definitely got the y2k orange translucent sunglasses.

Sunshine yellow! Again, how was this not in w1? Sunrise, sunset, but no noon time directly overhead sunshine? Sunshine yellow would be non-binary bc again, it’s my line and I get to make the rules lmao. They’d have a soft mop of short blond hair, a muscle tee w a big sun, sun print board shorts, a big yellow sunhat, and yellow Birkenstocks.

Lime green!! Karma is a little limey, but I want a true lime green boy. Shaved lime head w wave patterns along the bottom (similar to Rexx’s hair), lime AirPods, loose lime Hawaiian shirt, lime short shorts, and lime slides. Comes w a towel bc he’s a beach boy (unlike sporty Finn)

Seaweed green! Two greens in one line? Yes we need more green 😌 Seaweed green is the beach goth we missed out on in the first wave. Long wavy seaweed hair, big circle shades, giant seaweed sunhat, seaweed green one piece, long loose seaweed maxi skirt, seaweed gladiator sandals. Her lipstick is also dark green ofc.

Passionfruit purple! This is a deep purplish red, a bit darker than emi. She comes with passionfruit locs, a passionfruit two piece, loose high waisted passionfruit pants, and heeled passionfruit sandals. Tbh she’d be super cute w a sunhat too but I’ve already given two other dolls a hat so idk 😅 she definitely has those circle shades w the extra third lens on top bc those are so cool

Powder - Dickkory 💕

Powder - Character A making B cum so hard they cried and then teasing them about it. 

Brigada, Fe, VEIO AÍ

-------

It didn’t take them too long to make a questionable use of the pool just after it was installed. 

As soon as the kids were put in a plane to visit Dawn and Donna in Paris, Dick found himself seduced by the siren he called fiancé. He was fixing dinner to the both of them when she sent him a text telling him that she was at the pool and needed his help. 

He knew damn well the kind of help she was in need of him for, but he took his time fixing a tray with both of their plates and a nice rosé, he had to hold it really firm when he saw her. 

Kory haven’t even bothered to put a swimsuit, floating naked under the moon. The water making her skin look iridescent. Hair fanning around her like red flowers. She was so gorgeous, it was absurd to think about it sometimes. It was in moments like this, with her there, arms moving in elegant arches as she played with the water, the droplets on her chest and belly glittering like stardust that it really made him realise how damn lucky he was. 

When she saw him, she smiled and shifted in the water, diving and letting her toes touch the pool’s floor so she could swim towards the border closer to where he was standing like a fool with his silver tray and starstruck expression. 

“Oh, you brought diner”, she said in a teasing tone, it was clear by her message and the whole scene she was making there, that she had other plans in mind, and there was no five star meal he could prepare that would be more alluring than the royal banquet that she was. And she knew that pretty well. 

But two could play that silly game. 

“You’re not hungry?” He was starving, and by the way she was smiling, she was well aware. 

“I could eat, but... We’d have to wait thirty minutes before getting in the water,” and to mark her point she floated back, open and closing her legs with her backstrokes like a dirty pick-a-boo. 

“A lot to do in thirty minutes,” continued, mostly to annoy her, and put the try on the table next to the closest recliner sit and started taking off his polo shirt. 

Kory laughed. 

“Like what?” 

“I don’t know, we could play a game.” 

She swam to the pool’s stairs and got out in all her naked, wet glory and walked towards him. 

“What kind of game?” she asked pushing his hands away from the fly of his pants, wanting to undo it herself, his jeans getting darker as droplets of water fell from her. 

“Scrabble?” he suggested, pushing soaked strands of burgundy hair away from her beautiful face. 

“Sorry, I don’t know that game,” she said while roughly pushing his jeans and boxers down. 

“No?” 

“Nope,” it was a lie, and even if it wasn’t she was known for breaking the rules of scrabble by trying to push foreigner words, sometimes not even Earthen words. 

“Hmm, any suggestion, then?” he played alone, stepping out of the fallen fabric, he had the habit of walking barefoot at home so no need to bother with shoes. 

“Naked polo,” she said with the dirtiest of smiles. 

“We’ll need a ball.” 

“I thought you had two,” and to illustrated she cupped him, he hissed at her warm wet hand, “yep, here they are.” 

Smiling at her antics, Dick leaned to kiss her. One of Kory’s hand pressed flat on his chest and the other went to his hip, her long thumb nail scraping where his skin began to get more sensitive. He pulled her closer by the small of her back, squeezing her body against his, Lord, he wanted to feel every inch of her inside and out. It was never enough. 

When he finally let her go, with a final – for now – lick on her plump upper lip, Kory sighed, lying her head on his shoulder. 

“I think we’ll have to microwave those plates later,” she said against his neck, “sorry.” 

“I’m not,” and then he pulled her up winning a startled squeal before walking both of them to the stairs of the pool.  

The water was warm and pleasant as it touched his skin, Dick deposited Kory sitting on the border of the pool, only her calves and feet under the water, arms bent backwards to give her upper body support and him a great view of her perfect obsidian tits.  

Then, Dick pulled one of her legs up, kissing her toes, which made her giggle, and then he kissed the droplets of water of her calf, going down, and down, biting under her knee, she sighed at his teasing, looking at him with those bedroom eyes that followed him into his dreams way before they decided to give love another change. Finally, he hooked her leg on his shoulder and making his intentions clear. He was having diner now. 

Kory gasped when he gave his first welcoming lick. Then, eyes locked in hers, he gave another, this time spreading her open with his fingers so he could taste every bit of her juicy core.   

“Dick,” she breathed, one of her arms giving in as he prodded with the tip of his tongue and his nose smashed on her clit massaging it nice and good. Kory’s elbows hit the floor and Dick had to help her to keep in position, grabbing the buttock attached to the leg on his shoulder, pressing her hip to his mouth as he kept his onslaught. 

No drug in the world could compare to the feeling of her pulsing against his tongue, of her juices filling his mouth, he had never felt that way about anyone before. And when he realised that he could make her feel pleasure like that his chest tightened, too small to fit the emotions that filled his heart. 

Dick spread tiny kisses on her swollen lips and the sensitive skin between her slit and her inner tights waiting her to come from her high. 

“Got some real talent there, Grayson,” she panted. 

“Why thank you, ma’am,” he winked at her, and then helped her down after a last kiss on her navel, “I like to serve well to serve always.” 

Kory cupped his face, pulling him for a kiss and letting him press her against the pool’s wall, just enjoying the sensation of having him so close. 

“Hmm, you taste like me,” she said against his lips after a small break, and then kissed him again, her tongue hot and moist against the roof of his mouth, God she was so... 

And he was so in love with her. 

Nothing else could compare, no one else. 

She finally pulled back, resting her head against the edge of the pool, looking at him with besotted eyes and that full smile of hers that made him feel like inside his chest a thousand of fireworks were popping. 

Kory’s thumb caressed his lower lip, he kissed it, and then her fingers slid down the column of his throat, tapping playfully on the freckles she found in the path, her fingers played with the soft hair of his chest and went lower underwater. Dick sighed and leaned forward, forehead touching hers as she finally reached his penis, moaning softly when she started caressing it with barely there touches, driving him crazy. 

“Kory,” he whined and kneaded one of her breasts. 

“Pacience, love,” she pleaded, and increased her rhythm, her soft palm sliding easily with the help of the water all around them. Overwhelmed, he sought her mouth again sucking her tongue, wanting to consume her or be consumed, disappear inside her. 

He was so close. 

And then she stopped. 

He shuddered, eyes closed shut, Dick felt her moving against him, hooking her legs around his waist and turning them around, now he was the one pressed against the wall. 

“Kor...” he tried to ask, but his throat was blocked and his head too fuzzy, he had been so close, it was like his body didn’t understand what was happening. 

“Trust me, love.” 

“Always.” 

“Look at me.” 

He did so, and she guided him inside of her. 

A slow but powerful moan rolled through Dick’s chest and he kept making the noises she loved to hear as Kory braced herself on the pool’s border to give her better leverage as she rode him, water splashing around as they moved in unison. 

One of her hands left the border of the pool to touch her own clit and just the vision of her pleasuring herself made his own build exponentially. 

“Kory, Kory, Kory,” he chanted in the rhythm of her movements as she kept riding him mercilessly even after she had fallen over the edge, her beautiful face transfixed in a picture of pure bliss, her walls fluttering around him, daring him to follow her and when he finally did... if was like his soul had been cut from his body and reached nirvana. 

As Dick slowly floated down to Earth he heard her giggling and touching his face. 

Hell, even opening his eyes became hard work, that woman had just given him an orgasm that scrambled and then realigned his chakras or something. 

“Grayson, you’re crying.” 

“W-what?” 

She giggled again, her legs still crossed around his waist. 

“I always knew I were good, but, now I think my pussy deserves a medal,” and she laughed harder. 

“I’m not crying! It’s the water from the pool!” 

She snorted, then grabbed his face with both hands, and gave his cheek a good lick that made his cock, still inside her, twitch. 

“You are a salty, salty liar.”

Some of the Empowered magical girl outfits from For Love and Justice:

Uraraka: Her canon Hero costume, but the black parts are changed to a galaxy print, and the center part of the bodysuit resembles a space age sci-fi girl dress. (This appears before her official suit is made, so she requests it to match her MG form as close as possible).

Asui: Classical magical girl outfit in her Hero costume colors. Less focus on frills, looks more like a fancy swimsuit.

Hagakure: Overly frilly teal dress, with iridescent accents across it. She's also completely visible, and stays translucent after the transformation wears off.

Ashido: Pretty much her Hero costume, but more sparkly and changing the bodysuit out for a ripped dress and tights.

Jirou: Full punk rock outfit, basically her base Hero costume with more punk rock accessories. Her hair is also longer in this form, looking more like a wild mane. No one is sure why that happens.

Yaoyorozu: Fancy magical knight outfit, being based on works like Princess Knight, Magical Knight Rayearth, and Revolutionary Girl Utena. She can also use her Quirk through the costume, leading to questions as to what exactly it's made of.

Himiko: Vampire gothic lolita, complete with high stockings and a bat wing headband. Comes with a pair of remarkably long knives that can be pulled out of nowhere.

Midoriya: Dark green magical girl costume based on their canon costume, complete with red bow at the back and tall red sneakers.
