Is there anybody that little Opal would genuinely dislike?
Yesâ thereâs one person that Opal absolutely HATED as a small child. Weâre talking hissing + shrieking + clumsy attempts at combat whenever she makes eye contact with this individual. If theyâre in the same room, itâs on sight. Ark and Twig donât take the threat seriously enough for her tastes, so sheâs taken on the burden of guarding her family against that wretched scumbag she loathes so deeply.
#as an actual answer: nope not really!#I mean like#Sheâd cry her head off whenever Loudred shouts#and is a little wary of him once they first meet and she learns to associate him with loud talking#but sheâs fine with him when heâs not talking#and actually becomes rather fond of him after he taps into his years as a whismur to maintain a baby-friendly volume!#Opal is a shockingly brave baby when it comes to new people and will tolerate most anyoneâs presence#some people donât have impromptu-uppies privileges and will be met with vicious resistance if they pick her up suddenly#but sheâs just particular about who can hold her at any given moment. itâs not personal; she just does that with everyone#if her parents arenât in range of view / hearing though things are completely different#things will get very ugly very fast#shadow baby au#pokemon mystery dungeon#pokĂ©mon mystery dungeon#pmd explorers#pmd sky#pmd eos#pmd2#pmd#pmd comic#pmd au#sofie answers asks#stuff by sofie

pet peeve is when a story tells us something is aberrant, but it seems to matter more about who does the behavior than the behavior itself. rorschach in snyder's watchmen isn't going too far; we watch nite owl and silk spectre ii snap necks and arms with gleeful, loving abandon, in slow motion no less, while they lecture the audience about rorschach's violence. heroes frequently torture the plot contrivance out of a villain and then moralize to the camera when the villains do the same. indominus rex's killing spree doesn't shock or appall me; all the jurassic world dinosaurs act like mindless killing machines, and the camera lingers, rapturous, on their cruelty. it's not an outlier. there's nothing interesting about it beyond as a set piece.
in a better script, the indominus rex would have had pathos; a chimera made for entertainment, for profit, stitched together with no regard for itself and placed in a lonely box. a freak among freaks. of course it would be mad. but the film wasn't interested in it as an animal, or a character, only as a moving piece of scenery for people to scream at or breathe tensely while it can clearly smell and reach them but doesn't, because it isn't a character and doesn't have motivations.
it's just sort of boring, i suppose. it tries like all other empty drab things do to cover it with bombast and roaring and soaring brassy scores but it's just sort of dull. a sprawl of nothing.
conversely peele's nope is a transcendent monster movie, imo, because it thinks about the the whys and hows, how jean jacket perceives the world, how the world perceives her, and lets that shape the narrative as much as jupe or emerald or gordy. they consulted biologists and behaviorists, digging into the meat of it. the creature as a camera as an animal as a device. nope has layers. it takes its own insane premise seriously, and has something to say, and is a goddamn good movie. i forgot where i was going with this.
#always rattling that quote from peele about the difference between horror and comedy being a matter of timing#creature horror is my favorite horror and most of it is Bad but i love it. sometimes you strike genuine gold and other times. well.#drives me crazy when monsters behave only in ways meant to be scary rather than how a real living thing would act. you can do both.#i remember hearing about a woman attacked by a moose in her own back yard. it gored and stomped her then left back into the woods#a few minutes later as she tried to crawl away it came back and attacked her again. terrifying! for no purpose!#a prey animal attack is often more frightening and vicious than a predator's imo#because to be eaten -- that carries its own logic. a prey animal though holds fear and rage and desperation in the core of it. it Knows.#a lion is a simple creature compared to a beef bull who just managed to corner the farmer against the fence#unlike say movie monsters continuing to chase and kill and attack while a volcano goes off around them and literally burns them to death#don't get me started on the icy swimming feathered raptor#also the goddamn dimetrodon in the caves like. i have never seen a beast less suited for a goddamn cave. why is it acting like that.#the book jurassic park goes into the behaviors and dynamics and such of the dinosaurs and what it means that we made them and why#using the cutting edge of science to craft both story and its monsters#but the franchise is dreadfully incurious#as many franchises end up being in the end#frog croaks#i guess i wanted to complain about the jurassic world franchise specifically actually#i haven't read crichton since high school. maybe i should revisit and see if my opinion holds lol

New Scotland Yard: We Do What We Can (2.11, LWT, 1972)
"I have to be careful."
"You're big and ugly enough to look after yourself."
"Not with this little firm I'm not."
"Which firm?"
"Jimmy Sutton's. He don't believe in straighteners. Goes in for surgery."
"Surgery?"
"Amputation with a sawn-off shotgun."
"Ah. Well, you can always apply for a claim at the Criminal Injuries Board."
"I wouldn't have a leg to stand on, would I?"

i finished five broken blades
#and.....six of crows has yet to be topped#it's funny how every time a pair of unlikely people have to be paired up for a dangerous mission it's alwayssss compared to soc#and the comparison just never holds up#i am so baffled that this is an adult book bc the writing style was incredibly juvenile. very repetitive. a lot of telling not showing#six of crows had better character work By Far. i really felt who each of those characters were. and i felt how they bonded over time#in this book it was like. there's a bubbly quirky girl and the author's attempts at making her so made me cringe#it was very heavy handed#i could see what she wanted each character to be like but the execution was just not it#there was a part halfway through after they all finally met up where something happened and they had to work together to save someone#and in each character's pov it was just like 'they'd killed and lied for each other' 'they were family beyond blood'#and i was like ??? that's it???? idk i never felt them growing closer to each other. it's like the author relied more on telling us rather#than showing it#and then the romance..... don't get me started on the romance it was so poorly done almost like insta-love???#there was just no time for the feelings to develop it happened so quickly#i wasn't impressed at all#and like. i guess my main problem is too much showing not enough telling#'i can't trust her' 'i can't trust him' 'no one around me can be trusted'#it was so repetitive like okay i get it!!! but i wanted to Feel it. i wanted to feel the messiness and ugliness of this distrust#'we killed and bled for one another'đđ#when they all met with each other halfway through i got excited like yessss it's going to be ugly and nasty now i need them to be Messy#esp since this is an adult book i was really looking forward to new levels of debauchery but it was So tame and vanilla????#sure they killed people but nothing was even remotely close to the level of when kaz plucked out that guy's eyeball :(#that was vicious. we all still remember that. i expected that in this book but no....#can't believe six of crows is ya and it's superior to this supposedly adult book#let me list the good things though. it ws a super fast read at 500 pages#and i had no problem distinguishing the 6 povs from each other#and the climax was thrilling my heart pounded all throughout

Thinking abt that one scene we get of Luc interrogating the Abyss mage with Traveller, but make it Kae, showing Traveller he can speak their language, but also just how vicious he can be when it comes to beings he hates-
#â â ( .ooc. );#//Thinking of that one trope of a person going Too Damn Far and their beloved having to reel them back from goin Ape Shitt#//Traveller is the only one he can really show this off to; save maybe Dainsleif#//But considering how his interaction with Dain went...#//We already got a Glimpse of it immediately at Diluc's introduction#//The way he was smiling as he sent Traveller and Paimon on their way; then hung back to confront the mage and his face did a fucken Change#hc; kaeya#//I'd have to wonder how he would have treated it had Diluc not decided to intervene#//In my idea; he might not actually intend to show them his vicious side; rather happening bc the mage provoked him one way or another#//In their conversation; saying smth to set him off and Traveller gets one Helluva spooking at his sudden change#//Esp since they're so used to him being charming and a little mean and taunting if anything#//Mans'd feel his heart Drop if Traveller goes to far as to grab onto him to stop him from going too far and Really torturing them#//Esp if he gets a near maddened light in his eyes; so caught up in his anger and resentment of the Order#//Esp knowing what it meant to his family; and being reminded of what Purpose he was left in Mond for

I refuse to feel bad for pirating one piece or our flag means death or any pirate media because .is that not the whole point
#there is a vicious irony in people getting mad over pirating media#i understand that it takes revenue away from the contributors but that means youre looking at it as a product rather than a piece of media#im a firm believer that art and capitalism are incompatible#capitalists preach freedom of expression but how can that be true when media costs money to make and consume its a complete paradox#media studies alevel always comes in handy when u wanna be angry about capitalism#freedom of expression requires freedom from monetary constraints#in creation AND consumption#because what are we if not the product of all the media and images we have observed#our flag means death#ofmd#one piece#pirates

im being annoying in tags yet again
#i'm being very annoying in the tags i warned you#i'm terribly annoyed that I can't get out of some oppressive and anxious state#that all sorts of positive things do not correct it but rather get poisoned by this mood#that i can't find a specific thing that causes this feeling (at least of those that i can somehow influence)#and that thinking about this thing provokes a vicious circle that comes to the question of my self-worth#objectively i understand that determining a value of a person is an extremely bad idea for a long list of reasons#but in essence i measure my value by my study (F)#well by creative work too but it's secondary#the funniest thing is that my value as a person is determined by how I study and work#because for a country a foreigner is primarily a resource#and for the fucking 'homeland' and 'home' im not even a resource but something that needs to be forcibly 'corrected'#i'm tired

Some of yall really don't know what it means to be working class in some countries. Yes maybe we can afford little "luxuries" from time to time but that doesn't make people rich or capable to completely boycott the low costs companies.
#what is middle class does it exist and working class is all poor or just can't afford certain stuff? it's more complicated now than ever#and yet yes labour should be payed right it isn't and life costs a shitton of money and people are like i rather buy this than eat bc yolo#who are you to judge tho? ik it's a vicious circle but it's also quite classist to think that we should boycott shein or McDonald's bc#they're evil but cheap and we want to pay according to what we get. do u think speculation isn't a thing even w ethical stuff#omg people don't want to pay 400 euros for vegan jeans or 8900 dollars for a painting they want free ai art shame shame#maybe people want things they can't afford and should just settle yk i can't afford a Ferrari oh well and then comes china w a fake ferrari#that costs 3 dollars and ur like mmmh and the ferrari was built by children and maybe ur evil or maybe laws can step in#and create an option in the middle#it's not always poor people greed or fomo fault if they want to have something more at a lower price#do u really think that everything expensive that says it's fair and good really is? based on what#a.i. is so hated but it's trained on what's popular in what humans value and artists are so pretentious so who's really evil#usians wouldnt understand yall pay everything will to pay demand to pay more..u dont even get the concept of bargain and that sets the tone

Oh, thank god. Everyone barely managed to survive.
I hate this fight.
#personal#pokemon masters#or rather: i hate every extreme battle#i'm in dire need of adaman but to get gems i need to do extreme battles which requires adaman to be optimally completed#this is a vicious cycle#i'm glad that my girl irida and candice can manage a win#poor aaron had to suffer a lot of beatdown but he somehow survived#thank goodness the ice zone lasted until the very last second#otherwise this team wouldn't survive

need to tell my parents something but maybe killing myself is easier?
#suicide mention#the irony is that they will punish me for my 'fuck up' but my fuck up is a direct consequence of being mentally ill#so once again I will be punished for being mentally ill which will make me even more mentally ill#every time I've tried to tell my mother about my mental illness#and that only happened two times because I know how she'll react#and I didn't even mention having disorders I just talked about one of the symptoms#her reaction was vile and accusatory and she blamed me for being 'weak' or inventing my symptoms#this is the most basic ableist shit imaginable but that doesn't make it hurt any less#I told my mother that I wanted to kill myself and she responded with disgust#who can I turn to when the people who are supposed to help me and guide me are the ones that cause my suffering#and then blame me for it and make it even worse#I'm afraid of my parents I'm afraid of telling them the truth but I don't have the energy to lie#but even the lies won't keep me from being judged and scolded#and that shit makes me want to die#I know that my reaction is not reasonable'#but if I get this shit from them every time I open up or show vulnerability#of course my mind creates this reaction#so that I avoid getting into this situations#but I cannot avoid it and avoiding itself harms me but I also cannot stop because in some cases it's literally a question of my safety#it's insane. I will literally get blamed for being mentally ill#they don't know I'm mentally ill so they'll just think I'm lazy or acting out and they'll blame me for it#but if I told them why I did what I did (or rather didn't do it) they'll blame me for inventing shit and trying to be 'special'#by sabotaging my life#and like. getting into a fight with your parents isn't some world ending thing but it is to me#because I'm fucked in the head#but it's a fucking vicious cycle and now I understand what my ex meant by that#mentally ill girls solidarity haha#đ«

I love supportive parents Fentons. We're they good parents? Not always but they are trying. More so now that they knew how they'd failed Danny. They did a 180 on their research going from Ghost are evil to ghost are just people. Though some ghost wish they still just acted violently rather then stalking them to ask so *so* many questions.
Danny is happy, his parents are trying and while the GIW are still around as a nuisance he doesn't see then as actually a threat. Everyone in Amity had started treating him better both in and out of Phantom form. He is thriving.
Enter Constantine, there on league business. That business is decommissioning the GIW. The acts had been repealed and the group was supposed to cease activity. But they kept those things from Amity park and everyone there. How the league found out about it was just superman overhearing the agents brag about how they still worked in Amity.
Constantine had a fine time with the civilians there until he mentioned working for the league. Suddenly everyone turns on him. They don't harm him but they ice him out, over charge anything he buys, and hurl insults. He was also pretty sure his string of bad luck was caused by them too not just the obvious things.
So the hellblazer has no choice but to ask the local heros. Phantom tell him to leave, that he had it all covered. Red huntress is luckily more forth coming. If by forth coming you meant telling the truth while insulting a person and group so bad it makes him want to retire. Seriously he knew teens could be vicious but this is special levels of vitriol.
Once he finds out the situation, he can feel a migraine coming on. Not only did the league not answer a call for help repeatedly, but the local heros were two teens who think the league was for the anti-ecto acts. Plus neither of them were *good* at hiding their identities. Phantom was a palate swap and used a pun on his own civilian name. Red huntress Aka Valerie was *proud* of being red huntress and saw no real reason to hide it anymore.
The town is shocked when the league member in town starts taking down the GIW. Even more shocked when he told everyone the acts were repealed. They don't warm up to him though. Well things are better priced again at least.
As he finishes up and prepared to leave, he is stopped by the town mad scientist. They're smiling at him but he just knows this was about to be bad. Which is only proven when the lady pulls out a note pad and pen and he is being given the third degree on how magic works.
Constantine tries to leave he really does. But the man Jack has him body blocked via side hug he can't escape from. They wouldn't take his non-answers as answers and he felt his day get *worse* when they ask him to teach them.
The Fentons want magic only so they can figure it out. Magic doesn't exist so what ever power the hellblazer has has to be ecto based! And they need answers! It could help their son master his own powers and they could finally join him in fights on equal footing. A family that fights evil together stays together. Danny would be so proud of them!
Constantine doesn't want to deal with possible future magic rogues so he hits his s.o.s beacon in his pocket as he goes for a cigarette. He'd get shit for it later but he could handle a Bat lecture not what ever this was.
#dc x dp#dpxdc#dp x dc#dcxdp#danny phantom#I'm just picturing budding magicians jack and maddie who somehow manage to mix it with tech#which shouldnt be possible as science and magic while simalliar dont usually work as one#but these two manage it which leads to them getting a jld invite#Constantine hates it because Jack has decided they're friends#and wont leave him alone

Cherry Bomb - tattoo parlor anthology
MDNI | poly 141 x fem fat reader | masterlist
cw: menstruation (not graphic), afab anatomy
Part 4: âGirl Problemsâ
You shift in the office chair, stomach lurching uncomfortably. Itâs been bothering you today - groaning and moaning nonstop. So far you blamed it on the suspicious chicken salad you got from the discount grocery store. You took every stomach soother you could, all the way down to chugging tea on the hottest day of spring so far.
With a rather pathetic groan you stand to meander your way to the bathroom. Surely sitting on the pot will help - at least as a placebo. Just as you do, though, a very distinct wet feeling makes itself known. You freeze, briefly, as if it will go away if you stand still enough.
âAh, fuck!â You gasp, grabbing your purse and jogging down the hall to the single bath stall and popping the lock shut.
As soon as you sit, you let out a small sigh of relief. At least you caught it before you turned your underwear into a total crime scene. Youâd rather not have to explain to John why you need to go home and change. You dig through your bag to your usual pocket of various supplies. From lotion to a sewing kit. It never hurts to be prepared.
Except, as you rifle around, youâre not finding your usual stash. There should be at least three in here⊠when did-?
The very loud, distinct memory of a girl at a bar stopping you while canvassing for some sanitary products hits you like a train.
âWhatever youâve got Iâll take.â She practically begged. So, you handed them all over because got forbid someone get stranded during the most hellish week of the month. Like you are now.
You make a deep, frustrated noise in your throat and bury your face in your hands. Youâve been meaning to put a basket of backup wipes, pads, and tampons in the little bathroom cabinet - not just for you but for customers, too. It just kept getting pushed off when you got busy with other things.
Shit. What are you gonna do? If you put your pants back on youâll just bleed through them in ten minutes. Cursed with a heavy flow (or blessed with a strong connection to the moon, as your former hippie roommate insisted.) Less time than that, probably, based on the vicious cramp that travels from your lower back to pelvis. You wonât be able to get to the corner store with out leaving a war crime in your path.
Johnâs the only person in the studio right now. He doesnât have a client for another hour or so but youâd rather die than tell your hot boss youâre bleeding everywhere. For a few, quiet moments, you violently bounce your knee and go through every possibility. Maybe youâll suddenly turn into the flash and you can get home before anyone even notices. You donât really have much of a choice, do you?
With another groan you pull your phone from your pocket, thumb hovering over his contact for just a few beats too long while you work up the courage.
>> ok so this is terrible
>> im so sorry
>> but im having girl problems and am stuck in the bathroom
>> im so sorry this is so unprofessional
Girl problems? What are you? In fucking middle school? Before you can send yet another in a long string of planned apologies, John answers.
J >> How can I help?
>> i dont have any products on me
>> meant to stock the bathroom
>> sorry
J >> Stop apologizing
J >> What kind do you use? Iâll go to the corner store up the street
You breathe out a sigh of relief, still nervously gnawing at your lip as you send him what you need with an example picture (just in case) and profusely insist youâll pay him back. John refuses. Youâll just have to sneak the cash in his tips or something.
It isnât long before you hear the front doorbell ring, heavy footsteps, then a gentle tap on the bathroom door. âYâalright, love?â
You perk up. âJohn, Iâm so sorry-â
âDidnât ask if you were sorry. Asked if you were alright.â
You snort. âYeahâŠâ
âIâm goinâ to unlock the door to slide these in. No lookinâ I swear.â John says. As if you were worried about that. You trust John. More than maybe any other man youâve known (not that the bar is very high.) Itâs nice of him to say, though. The door barely cracks open, just enough for him to toss the box to you across the floor and shut it immediately. You barely even see his arm. âThat all you need?â
âYeah. Thanks.â You murmur, bending awkwardly and snatching up the box. âIâm really sorry. I know itâs not really⊠appropriate.â
âLove, itâs normal. It happens. Just get yâself situated.â John taps the door once before you hear his footsteps drift down the hall toward the front.
You feel a bit skittish the rest of the day. You know itâs stupid. Johnâs a grown man and itâs a natural thing that happens and itâs fine. He said itâs fine. If it wasnât fine you probably wouldnât still look up to him the way that you do - the way that you have since you came here. The way everyone else seems to. Even so, you step around him a little wider than usual on your way out - keeping your head hung low and both hands tightly gripping your purse.
You chew your lip, shifting in place as he locks the front door. âLook, John, I-â
âIf you apologize again Iâm gonna fire you.â John mutters, pulling on the door to make sure itâs properly secured. Thereâs humor in it, though, the corners of his lips quirked up slightly.
You scoff, still not quite able to meet his eye.
âSweetheart, look at me.â When you donât move fast enough, apparently, he tilts your head up with a light touch. His eyes are so warm despite their icy blue shade. Sparkly in the setting sun. âAny man worth his breath wouldnât give a shite. Iâm sorry if that hasnât been your experience, but really, itâs fine. Iâll help you out a thousand times over if yâneed.â
âOkayâŠâ You murmur, suddenly very distracted by the feeling of his fingers touching your chin, light as is it. You pull away and clear your throat, hoping he doesnât notice the growing heat in your cheeks. âWell, uh, see you tomorrow, then.â
John nods, still smiling. âSleep well, dove.â
When you come in the next day, you expect to get teased. A snide comment or a sideways look. You would have at any other job youâd worked - especially one with all men. All giggling and poking at you like a bear they know canât bite back. No one says a thing outside of their usual greetings when you make your way to the front desk, though. Johnny pinches your hip like normal, Simon greets you with his new pun of the day, Kyle gives you a distracted wave over the hum of his practice gun. John doesnât bat an eye when he says hello and checks in about the plan for the day.
You open the bottom drawer that you usually tuck your purse into, pausing before you set it inside. At the bottom, neatly tied together with a piece of twine, sits a king size chocolate bar and a pack of Midol.
If John notices the way you become extra smiley after that discovery, he doesnât comment.
A/N: This was very self-indulgent but Iâm having a bad time over here and need to be saved.

Figuring out I'm on the ace spectrum was so difficult because I have always been a horny bitch. I knew what sex was at a fairly young age, because I'd asked my mom and she's one of those good parents who'll answer questions like those, and as I grew older and would ask more complex questions, her answers would evolve along with my curiosity and understanding of the world. And I remember having fantasies as young as 9 or 10 years old, even if they were hella vague and nothing close to what sex actually is lol
So as I became a teenager, and all my friends' focus turned from playing with dolls to flirting with boys, I automatically thought I was attracted to boys. And I paid more attention to Cute Boys than I did to Cute Girls, because girls were just nice to look at while boys were People To Have Crushes On. Because of heteronormativity. Looking back on it now, I know there were girls I liked to stare at just as intently as boys, although less often because I wasn't trying to pay attention. And I certainly didn't fantasize about girls because I started reading romance novels in 5th grade, so I was fantasizing about male romantic partners because that was the fiction I was consuming. I didn't even realize fantasizing about girls was possible until I was 17, and I had a few "am I a lesbian" internal crises for years because of it.
So when I did start having sex, I had A LOT OF IT with SO MANY different guys, and eventually a couple of women once I started accepting that bisexuality was real. But it was never really fulfilling. Not like my fantasies were. Not like my books were. I was slutty because sex was fun, I was horny, there were plenty of options so I kept searching for that satisfaction I was craving.
Getting married was a relief (even though it turns out I'm aro-spec too lol) because I was tired of hunting, and even if sex with my husband was meh, at least I had someone around to scratch that itch if I had it, and he didn't mind if I occasionally took care of things on my own because I'd read an especially hot scene in a romance.
I learned about asexuality in my early 20s, but I brushed it off. Couldn't be me, I'm far too horny for that. But I think that comes from the fact that everything you hear about Aces is attached to sex-repulsion or sex-indifference. I wasn't either of those things. I was horny all the dang time. I was fantasizing about sex all the dang time. I figured actual sex was meh because my imagination was so vivid that real life could never match up. Which could be true to an extent, but I think not as much as popular opinion would have us believe. If fantasy was really that much better for everyone, then I think we'd have less incels and unplanned pregnancies than we do.
In my 30s I finally saw people talking about The Spectrum, and I started examining my past, and I figured out I wasn't really attracted to anyone I had sex with. I do occasionally find someone attractive; there are men and women and enbies who make my skin feel tight and give me a little wave of lightheadedness lol... but it's always always the fantasy that gets me really going. If given the opportunity I wouldn't have sex with any of those people. Thank you, but no thank you, I'd rather just imagine it than physically participate in the act with them.
(Ok I might go down on them, but that's less about wanting sex, and more about being able to add them to my Tally. Hell yeah I want to brag about making *insert hot person* have an orgasm. There's PRIDE in that kind of accomplishment lol)
I have a lot of respect for aces that are not horny. I understand it even if I don't share the sentiment. And I feel like most of them understand me even if they don't share the sentiment. There's a solidarity between us.
Until I go into a fandom tag for a character that the aces have glommed onto because they're canonically ace or headcanoned as ace. Good lord, the non-horny aces can turn into downright vicious bastards if a horny ace sexualizes their blorbo.
This post is for them.
Horny aces exist. Please look up "autochorissexual, lithosexual, and aegosexual."
Refer to those definitions in regards to romantic attraction as well as sexual attraction.
Some aces may not fall into one of those definitions, because asexuality is a spectrum, but they may still be horny.
Horny aces are not disrespecting you by enjoying being horny on main. We promise we'll wash the stickiness off our hands before we hold your hands in queer solidarity.
And most importantly: Your blorbo is fictional and does not need to be defended from icky sexuality. They exist in an infinite multiverse, so your blorbo and my blorbo are not the same, even if they appear to be on the surface.
AND:
This post is also for the people who are confused about themselves because they're horny but don't actually feel attraction. You're not crazy, you're not wishy washy, you're not "waiting for the right person to come along" (unless you are, in which case I hope you find them). You're just a thin strip of color on a massive rainbow that holds more unique shades than anyone can perceive at a glance.
You're valid. You're one of us too.
And don't be mean to the non-horny aces. Tag your smut so they can avoid it. (But actually so I can find it lol)

My mamaw has the book right now so I won't be able to read it for a little bit but my mom read The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan which is about the Dust Bowl and it puts in perspective all the environmental books I was reading from the 1940's and 1950's and the sense of agitation and intensity in them.
Everyone is like yeah yeah the dust bowl we've all heard of it, but the Dust Bowl was apocalyptic. The USA practically eliminated the bisonâwe are talking thousands of square miles of land littered with bones, enormous pyramids of skullsâand committed genocide against their caretakers, and then settlers ripped up the prairie grasses (which protected meters of top soil) with plows
And what happened was, half the country became in engulfed in horrific dirt storms that turned the sky black and reduced visibility to a few feet. Even indoor environments were full of deep drifts of dirt. When it rained, it rained mud instead of water. In ENGLAND the snow was RED because of DIRT. People died from pneumonia because they were breathing the dirt into their lungs.
Even before mom started reading this book, I was reading American books about the environment from the mid 20th century, and they are animated with the zeal and terror of people who have realized that human mismanagement could make the USA literally uninhabitable. I realized, "Oh. This is right after the Dust Bowl." cause of how they talk about erosion, and I realized just how formative the Dust Bowl was in terms of environmental policy.
Reading about various wildlife species, I realized also how utterly apocalyptic the conditions of the past were for animals. Deer were almost eliminated from my state. Deer.
Why do we have the Migratory Bird Treaty Act? Because just about every large bird species almost went extinct from uncontrolled commercial hunting. We almost had no swans, no cranes, no egrets, no storks. We lost the passenger pigeons and Carolina parakeets, but we could have lost Basically Everything.
So many of the ill-conceived decisions to introduce species to this continent are easily explained by how apocalyptic this period of time was. Why did we think it was a good idea to introduce Kudzu? Because in the 1950's, erosion sparked a visceral apprehension of CERTAIN DOOM, and logging had made the whole southeast start washing away! Why were so many exotic antelopes introduced to Texas? Because every native large animal was almost wiped out!
From my other readings on the subject (Changes in the Land by William Cronon is a good one) devastating environmental destruction started just about as soon as Europeans started controlling the land, and I am guessing that if you examined the timeline of environmental disaster alongside the migrations west, it would support the argument that settlers started pushing west more and more rapidly because of land degradation and environmental disaster.
I wish this was commoner knowledge, getting to where we are now has been a journey. Environmental history doesn't start in 1970's.
It is not the case that things have steadily gotten worse over time and recently are becoming extremely bad, rather, different parts of the environment have become both better and worse in steps forward and backward, and many seemingly unremarkable things around us were earned by a vicious fight, which we can learn from and continue...

SLUT ME OUTđ àŁȘ ÖŽÖ¶ÖžâŸ.
SYNOPSIS: Does fucking your bratty girlfriend into oblivion help her fall asleep even when her sleep shedule is shit? Draken says yes! C/W: fem! afab! Reader, established relationship, aged up characters (20+ years old), brat! reader and brat tamer! Draken, pussy spanking, orgasm denial, p in v, unprotected sex (keep it wrapped), tummy bulging, cervix fucking, reader doesn't have a great sleep schedule/implied insomnia, mentions of social media (tiktok, Instagram, etc.), no prep, Draken has a big dick, rip your pussy, MDNI!!!! W/C: about 3k A/N: this is super self indulgent and has been on my mind for the longest time :,)) I won't lie, this particular fic took me a while to write for some reasons, but I guess not every fic can just flow out of my brain directly into my google docs. Also, not proofread and kinda chaotic (?)
DRAKEN had enough. Heâd toss and turn, unable to get a wink of sleep. Next to him laid, or rather sat, you, staring at the bright display of your phone watching the newest videos of your favorite creators. Youâd scroll, switching between Instagram Reels to Tiktoks to Youtube shorts, trying to get your nightly dose of entertainment before youâd cuddle up to your boyfriend and fall asleep. Insomnia was a bitch and Draken knew that you did your best not to disturb his sleep, but it became glaringly clear that your sleeping habits impacted his. So really, it didnât do much for him when you lowered the volume as much as you could, or the way youâd try and stifle your laughter at a particularly funny Reel. He was wide away at an ungodly hour with you, but unlike you, he had to go to work in six hours.Â
âBabe, you should go to sleep nowâ Draken grumbled as he turned around to face you âPhone-time is overâ Draken reached and grabbed your phone from your grip before turning it off and placing it on his night stand. Once Draken turned back to look at you, the street lanterns barely illuminated the dark bedroom from outside. The blondeâs eyes quickly adapted to the dark, and all he saw was your pouty face glaring daggers at him.
âYou canât just take away my phone like thatâ you scoffed at your boyfriend âYouâre acting like my dad. Iâm a grown woman, and Iâm more than capable of making my own decisionsâ Huffing, you tried to reach over the broad man to get your phone back, eager to return to the story time youâve just watched. But youâll soon come to find out that your boyfriend is not the right man to disobey.Â
Draken caught your hand before you could even touch your phone âOh yeah, a grown woman? You?â He looked at you with his sharp onyx eyes. You saw an all too familiar dangerous spark in his eyes, a spark that challenged you to defy him. Fuck around and find out.
âYes, me. Believe it or not, but Iâm my own personâ you exclaimed, trying to sound as firm as you can. This was dangerous territory, but youâve walked that path numerous times and oh boy, did you want to fuck around and find out. Not that you didnât know what would follow - you were certain about what would follow should you keep being difficult.Â
You pressed your thighs together, clit throbbing at the vicious glare your boyfriend threw at you âWho are you to even think you can boss me around?â That sealed the deal, you concluded from the way Draken leaned in closer to you. His gigantic form blocked out the window, the only source of light. You werenât able to see much, but you didnât have to. Draken was so close to you that you heard his even breathing, smelled the faint smell of the shampoo he used when he went to shower prior to joining you in bed hours ago, but most importantly, you felt him. You felt his rough hands on your thigh underneath the blanket, warm fingers pressing into your soft flesh. But most importantly, you felt his breath fanning against your lips.Â
âYeah, you are your own personâ His deep voice rumbles through the darkness of your shared bedroom, sending a shiver of excitement over your body âBut I think youâre giving yourself way too much credit. You may look like a somewhat reliable, mature person, but youâre a brat through and throughâ
His grip on your thigh grew tighter. A mewl almost escaped your lips, but you didnât dare make a noise. You didnât want him to know that you got off to this, at least not now.
âAnd you know damn well I donât like being disrespected. Iâm not your father, but I am your boyfriend and I wonât tolerate this level of disrespectâ Drakenâs voice rumbled lowly, his grip on your thigh as firm as before âIâm gonna give you one chance to look me in the eye and apologize, bratâ He spat out. The way your boyfriend put so much emphasis on âbratâ made you feel tingles inside your stomach.Â
You leaned closer to him, looked him in the face - even when you couldnât see well in the dark, you still knew where to look - and told him with the sweetest voice âNo. Iâm not gonna apologize for anything. I said what I saidâ You were about to ask for your phone back, hoping that would make him snap but you didnât get the chance to. A yelp left your mouth at the stinging sensation you felt on your thigh. You were no longer able to contain your excitement; a lewd moan left your lips as his palm made impact with your thigh. Draken was on top of you, yanking your legs apart harshly, before your mind could even register it.
âShould have known you were being difficult on purposeâ Your boyfriend grumbled into your ear, his fingers tracing lines over your clothed cunt âCould have just told me you want me to fuck you to sleep. Would have saved me my nervesâ
âI donât know what youâre talking about. Iâm not being difficultâÂ
âLiarâ His fingers slipped past your panties. A sinful moan left your lips as Draken teased your clit, rubbing agonizingly light strokes over your throbbing bud. His fingers barely touched you where you needed him the most. A part of you wanted to drop the bratty act and ask - no, beg -Â him to fuck you, but you already knew that it was far too late to act like a good girl for him. So you committed to the bratty act.Â
âIâm not a liar-â
Gasps and moans left your lips as Draken slapped your clothed pussy, making you unable to finish your protests. The stinging pain aroused you even more. You wanted more of him.Â
"What was that? Didnât catch thatâ Draken grinned wolfishly at your attempts to seem unfazed, but your squirming beneath his calloused hand and the embarrassingly big, wet spot on your panties told him everything he needed to know.
âI said Iâm not a liar-â His hand landed on your pussy again. The hard slap sent a jolt through your body, slick seeped out of your pussy and soiled your favorite pair of panties.Â
âHmmm, apologize for lying to me, and Iâll take off your panties for youâ Drakenâs deep, rich voice rumbled âIf I like your apology, that is. Better start begging if you want them offâÂ
âN-No, I wonât apologizeâ the words stumbled out of your lips, unable to come up with a snarky comment. Your refusal to beg would have to do for now.Â
Another hard slap landed on your pussy once Draken heard your whiney stutter. You mewled at the impact, loving the pleasure you feel from the pain. Your clit throbbed against the fabric of your heavily soiled like a second heartbeat, waiting to be touched again; but as if reading your mind, Draken his assault on your poor pussy. Instead, he roughly yanked your panties off your body, so much so you feared he ripped the fabric. You yelped as he manhandled you, pressed you into the mattress and took your wrists, pinning them above your head with one hand.Â
You could feel his bulge pressed against your thigh as he yanked your legs apart, making sure to position himself between your trembling legs. Anticipation washes over you; you felt so excited to feel his fingers stretch you out nicely, preparing you to take his thick cock. Youâre already imagining his long fingers pumping in and out, middle and ring finger setting an unforgiving pace as his thumb would be teasing your clit until youâd cream around his digits.Â
Instead of thrusting in and out of your weeping hole, his fingers hooked under the waistband of his boxers before pulling them down. Drakenâs rock hard dick slapped against his toned abs. Your eyes have adjusted to the little light coming from outside, the cheap lantern lights illuminating the best parts of your boyfriend as you moved your head, desperate to catch a glimpse.Â
Veiny, girthy, with a big, angry red tip, leaking precum. Your mouth watered at the sight. Oh, what youâd do to have him down your throatâŠ
You snapped out of your thoughts when you saw Draken give his cock a few, firm pumps before his hand moved back to the base, guiding his leaking tip between your folds. The thought of your boyfriend fucking you without preping you beforehand felt both daunting and arousing to you. Remembering the previous times he took you, you vividly remembered the way his dick would stretch you out uncomfortably despite him eating you out and fingering you beforehand. You could only imagine the damage heâd do if he didnât prep you. So, your bratty act faltered as you opened your mouth, and hoarsely asked âBaby, what are you doing?â
Lust filled, onyx eyes met yours as Draken heard your small protests, a scowl adorned his handsome face âTeaching you a lessonâ He groaned as he teased your folds with his tip âSince you wanted to be a brat about it, Iâm gonna put you back in your place like oneâ Without warning, Draken pushed his bulbous tip inside.Â
Tears shot up in your eyes as you bit back a scream, feeling as if you were being impaled by him. You struggled beneath him, struggled to take him fully while he mercilessly forced himself inside you, and struggled to contain your moans bubbling out of your sealed lips. Despite the stretching, burning pain you felt the deeper Draken pushed himself between your walls, you couldnât deny that you liked it. Your clit throbbed as you got stuffed full of cock, begging to be touched, pinched, slapped.
Sweat collected on Drakenâs forehead. He felt somewhat conflicted about not loosening you up properly, feeling that he might be doing too much this time, but the grip your gummy walls had on him made it impossible for him to pull out. He didnât know if it was either the lack of prep or you loving it that made you so damn tight - almost too tight- for him. Draken was sure of one thing though: he physically couldnât pull out. He lacked the will power for it.
Lost in his own pleasure, your boyfriend glanced at your face. The nagging voice in his head demanded to know if you were doing okay. Below him, you were a shaking mess. A thin sheen of sweat covered your skin, lips plump and bruised from you biting them, eyes rolled back in sheer bliss and tummy bulging. If heaven was real, it would face in comparison to your blissed out expression, a sweet combination of pained and aroused.Â
âOh, why so silent, brat?â Draken huffed âWhere did your smart mouth go?â He groaned as he harshly thrusted the last remaining inches inside your weeping cunt, attentively watching your face. You werenât able to hold the nasty, loud moan anymore. You tried to hold onto the pillows for leverage, but Drakenâs tight grip on your wrists didnât falter. Panting, you made eye contact with Draken. His scowl has warped into a cruel grin; he looked down on you like a wolf would look at a wounded sheep, ready to devour it.Â
âYouâre so filthyâ Draken mused, chuckling darkly when you turned your face away in shame. His free hand took hold of the bed frame, an action that caught your attention. You squeezed your eyes shut, anticipating a hard thrust out before heâd plunge right back inside you. But he didnât. Instead, the grip on your wrists grew tighter, making you squeal in pain and look at him, glaring daggers at your boyfriend.Â
âSpeak when youâre spoken to, bratâ Draken growled âThis is your last chance. Beg me for forgiveness, and I might be niceâÂ
And despite his threats, he still saw a flicker of defiance in your eyes. He knew that youâd always be bratty to him, and you knew he knew.Â
âF-Fuck youâ you meekly replied back, your voice faltering and shaky. You knew you were screwed when you saw the dark glint in Drakenâs onyx eyes.Â
Wordlessly, Draken pulled out and rammed back inside. The first thrust knocked the air out of your lungs, the ones that followed after knocked your soul out of your body. Draken didnât hold himself back, the might of his thrusts shook the bed you two shared. The old mattress that you two have been meaning to replace for ages let out loud, squeaky noises with every movement. The thudding, the squeaking, your loud sobs and Drakenâs low groans were a guarantee for getting noise complaints in the morning, but neither of you cared; your brain fuzzy from the painful yet delicious stretch and Draken too focused on the grip your pussy had on his dick.Â
Drakenâs balls smacked against your ass with each merciless thrust, heavy and full with his cum. His tip continuously kissed your cervix, which ended up heightening the pain and pleasure you felt. Feeling overstimulated, you knew you wouldnât last any longer and come soon. While drunk on your pussy, Draken was still able to think somewhat clearly. He felt the way your walls grew tighter around him and heard the frantic moans that escaped your lips.Â
So he stopped right before you could come.Â
You whined desperately once Draken stopped moving, trying to grind your hips against him, to create a friction that could satisfy the overbearing heat you felt in your tummy. Much to your dismay, you werenât able to move a lot with your boyfriend pressing down on you.Â
âStop moving or I will pull outâ Draken warned you sternly. He didnât like having to postpone his own orgasm for the sake of teaching you a lesson, so he hopes he has cracked you down enough to drop your stubborn, bratty attitude.Â
A wince left your lips as you heard Draken, your hips stopping their movements. You looked up at him, teary eyed and frowning at his sudden stop.
âYou didnât actually think Iâd let you cum after all the badmouthing you didâ He scoffed, trying to suppress a grin. Oh, how he loved seeing you so needy. He absolutely loved seeing the real you, the desperate you.Â
Youâd be embarrassed by the way your resolve broke so quickly, but you couldnât think straight anymore. All thoughts in your head revolved around cumming on his cock.Â
âPleaseâ you whimpered out âPlease, I wanna cumâ
âNu-huh. Youâll have to do betterâ Draken rolled his eyes at you âAnd you better be quick. I donât have the whole nightâ
And just like that, the dam broke. Beginnings and pleadings and empty promises bubbled out of your mouth, each word sounding more desperate than the previous. Music to his ears.Â
âI will never disrespect you like that againâ You promised, sobbing as you ran out of anything to make him reconsider âI will always listen to you, I will always be obedientâÂ
Of course, Draken knew that you were throwing everything and saw what stuck; he knew you would go back to your antics as soon as you wake up in the morning. To say he was unimpressed was an understatement.Â
âIâll be good. I-I will fix my sleep scheduleâ you stuttered out, growing antsy at the lack of a reaction. Youâve run out of what to say to him to appease him âYou wanted me to fix it, right?âÂ
Draken could only scoff at you. What a pathetic thing to say âWe both know thatâs a lie. You know I hate liesâ Draken could see the disappointment in your eyes âAnd to top it all off, all of those things youâve said are lies as wellâ
âBut thatâs fine. Iâm gonna make an honest person out of youâ With that, Draken slammed his hips against yours, picking up right where he left off. Screams and cries left your lips as your boyfriend drilled inside you.Â
âIf fucking your brains out every night is what will make you be good, I will do itâ Draken grunted between thrusts. Drakenâs pace was unforgiving, his thrusts angled to hit all the right spots. The sudden switch up on his demeanor left you confused, but who were you to question your boyfriend while heâs balls deep inside you?
Drakenâs hips repeatedly crash against yours, chasing after his orgasm. He was usually so patient and kind with you, making sure youâd cum before him. This time, Draken prioritized his own high. So he fucked you like a dog in heat until he emptied his balls inside you with a groan. He shut his eyes tightly as he fucked his cum into you, trying to extend his orgasm as much as he could.Â
His cum shot inside your womb, filling you up nicely; so much so that the tight knot in your tummy broke. You mewled out his name as you came hard, your legs trembling and your back arched at the aftershocks from your intense orgasm. Your eyes felt heavy, and before you knew it, you passed out from sheer exhaustion. Sleeping soundly, you didnât notice Draken pulling his dick out. He could only imagine the divine view of his cum leaking out of your pulsing pussy if it was brighter inside the bedroom.Â
Despite feeling tired himself, Draken pushed himself off your shared bed and went to the bedroom quietly, making sure you wouldn't wake up. After all, he gave it his all to put you to sleep. He returned -womewhat clean himself- with a wet towel and carefully cleaned you up. Your boyfriend silently watched you sleep, letting the previous events replay in his mind before he laid down and covered the both of you with a blanket. As Draken fell asleep, he couldnât help but feel a sense of triumph swell up in his chest. He finally knew what would get you to fall asleep, and he was very much intending at fucking you to sleep every night.
