#it scratches an itch in my monkey brain

[microwaving-tesilid-argente]

(major s-class heroine spoilers)

made the mistake of briefly considering reed/hestio, and then thinking about how hestio might react to learning that the mass murderer in front of him was once his extremely kind and upright friend who always gave too much of himself to others. i got socked in the gut by the throwback to my own grief when discovering that reed=tesilid.

like. what and how much has he gone through that he has thrown away the morals and self-sacrifice he internalised so much. what do you mean he killed his younger self in the most cruel and painful way he could think of. what do you mean that even he himself was not kind to himself. that, even after a hundred lifetimes, he still hasn't learned the slightest shred of self-love and is acting only in self-preservation. what do you mean that he has been running on fumes and desperation for several lifetimes? he probably hasn't had the time to even grieve and cry for himself. has there been anyone who could even do so for him? what do you mean he's tried every means possible to save the world, and then just himself, and then had no choice but to try to kill himself, but even that didn't work so now he's forced to try to kill everyone else too. what do you mean that this isn't just an issue of mental health and of convincing him that life is worth living? there is genuinely no conceivable path forward for him. maybe the world should just burn or something idk.

I fucking LOVE THIS YOU’RE SO TALENTED

Say His Name

Tim Drake/Reader, ≈1.1K

AN: Someone asked for cute smut with Tim Drake and this certainly isn’t it, but it is on the burner. I’m imagining him like mid 20s here, but you could go older or even a bit younger if you wanted. It really was just a thought, I did not expect this to surpass a couple 100 words but here we are.

CWs: Breach of trust, teasing, masturbation, vouyerism, withheld information, vaguely dom/sub dynamics. GN!Reader

Thinking about heroes with semi/famous secret identities finding out their favourite civilians used to have a big ol’ crush on them and being so.fucking.normal. about it, especially because you don’t know what, who you’re confessing to.

Particularly the bats (Bruce, Dick, Jason) but could also be like Oliver, or Clark. But in this case Tim.

Like he came to your home in the night, now he’s supposed to be sleeping off an injury or rough patrol in your childhood bed but he just can’t nod off so he starts looking around, searching for a book or anything to calm his mind when he find a draw full off magazine/paper clippings of himself. There are little stickers on them, your paired initials surrounded by hearts written in glitter pen. So cute.

The discovery plays on his mind until he sees you again, probably the next morning. He’s suited and booted getting ready to head out when you poke your head in to check on him. He knows he shouldn’t say anything, asking would mean admitting to snooping, to invading your privacy, abusing your hospitality but… “So umm, what’s with the Tim Drake murder shrine in your desk drawer?”

Your eyes bulge, lips pulled tight as you process the question, you’re adorable when you’re frazzled.

“Tim Drake-Wayne.” You correct with an awkward laugh, trying to diffuse your own nerves with humour. “What that? Doesn’t everyone have one of those?”

“Nope, I’m pretty sure you’re the only one.”

“Maybe, probably.” Your laughter is more relaxed now, but there’s still a sheepish edge to your tone. The fact that you’re accepting his teasing, despite having every right to be mad only fuels his fire. “This is embarrassing, I used to have such a huge crush on him. They used to be on the wall, but I didn’t have the heart to throw them out when I took them down.”

He’d hoped your confession would satiate his curiosity, the burn in his loins, but he’s still not satisfied and you’re not refuting him so he keeps pushing. Metaphorically and physically. He’s not touching you but he’s close enough to smell your body soap as he asks, “Are you still into him?”

Fuck he’s too intense, you can barely maintain eye contact with him. Why is talking about another man getting you so riled?

“I don’t really follow him but I guess he’s still pretty hot.” Music to his ears, a nice long therapeutic scratch to his ego. “Why?”

“Just curious.” He replies and though his tone is unbothered, he’s body language is not; he’s all sharp moves and tense muscles. He averts his gaze for a moment, examining your sheets for the hundredth time then looks back to you. Your hands are preoccupied, anxiously fiddling with the hem of your top and he’s suddenly overwhelmed by the image of you touching yourself to the thought of him with those same hands.

“So…” he cocks his thumb to the bed you know too well. “I guess you used to sit in that bed and think about him, huh?”

His drift is caught, he can tell by the way you look upward, that you’re thinking, hard. Considering your next move and he’s praying you’ll keep biting his hook. Your shoulders sag as you look back at him and he knows he’s got you cause that means you’re relaxing, letting your walls down.

“If I show you something, promise not to judge?”

“I promise.” There’s more! “Scout’s honour.”

He was never a fucking scout, but he gives you his best approximation of a salute anyway.

The bedside table had been locked last night, the key was hidden under the reading lamp but he’d figured you wanted it locked for a reason. He wasn’t completely without shame. Now that you’re rifling through it though, he figures it’s free game for peeking. Once you find what you’re searching for you snap the drawer shut but not before he catches a glimpse of a few choice items, things that could come in useful, if he gets his way.

“These are what I looked at when I was thinking of him.” You hand him a small batch of photos, print outs of him Tim Drake, most are from a specific day. He remembers when they were taken, he was 18? 19 maybe? It had been an unusually hot day at Ivy U. After a long workout out he’d left the campus gym without a shirt. The paparazzi had had a field day, and apparently so had you.

His mind is drifting again to how that might look and he has to see it, has to convince you to show him. Without warning he closes the distance between you. Your hands fly up, settling gently on his chest. Your touch is so soft, nothing like the way he grips your hips for dear life.

The two of you had kissed before, but not like this, never like this. This is searing and needy. He’s completely invading your sense and it’s making you dizzy. Body to body, tongue to tongue. He groans into your mouth and it makes your already tense core begin to throb. Wanting to hear it again you roll your hips, grinding onto him and there it is again; He moans as you rub against the solid bulge in the crotch of his suit. Eager to coax more of those beautiful noises out of him you reach down, hungry to run your palm over his length but he stops you with a fast, iron like grip around your wrist.

Without a word, he guides you onto the bed. The control he has over you is driving you wild, it’s in your eyes, in your blown-out pupil and the way they watch his every move, waiting for what he’ll do next.

When you’re snug against the mattress, he tucks your hand into your waistband, tugging at the fabric until you get the idea and start stripping them yourself. Once exposed, you don’t wait for instruction, unable to stop from stroking your arousal.

You’re not sure what’s come over you, just that something about Red Robin gets you so inexplicably turned on and you’d do anything to have him relieve that tension.

“You want me to touch myself?” It’s a redundant question you’re already touching yourself. He nods anyway, mask hiding most of the heat that has flooded to his face.

His hand reaches for yours and you hope for a moment that he plans to take over but instead, he cups your wrist, turning your hand just enough to spit on your palm, offering additional lubrication. The lewdness of his actions has you breathless

“Say his name.” He states it firmly, you’re lost for a second, looking at him with big empty eyes, dumb on building ecstasy. “Say Tim while you’re touching yourself.”

Click here to see the clip this is based on

I doodled some JttW fanart while listening to the amazing audio drama by @jttwaudiodrama ! If it weren’t for the team I don’t think I’d have the time or energy to read through Journey to the West myself. Please support them!

If you ALREADY support the audio drama, maybe you could reblog with your favourite part(s) of their translation? For me, I really enjoy hearing Wu Kong say “nope!” (Which you’ll hear in the clip), and I love the “Splendid monkey king!”, “Look at him!”. The way Lin says it really scratches an itch in my brain…

[skelesno]

been doodling, please pardon my continuing inconsistency, as i am never pleased and constantly forget how i drew the previous drawing

the monkey brainrot is REAL also these little monkeys drawn bad but inspired by @/munkiey ‘s little sona cause the way they draw the lil monkey scratches such an itch in my brain.

i mean LOOK AT THEM. SURE THEIR BODIES AND MAYBE LIMBS LOOK LIKE AMALGAMATIONS BUT ARENT THEY JUST ???

[sunleaffe]

this is such good food thank you!!!

Albedo is not aloof person at all. He's just indifferent to things he's not interested in. Moreover, he is very polite and elegant to ordinary people, and will communicate to the best of his abilities. After all, we know that our Albedo is a successful homunculus who can blend with humans. We also know that he is quite popular and received love from many people. And he also has a cute little quirk of a scholar. I really recommend to rewatch all events with him. Looking at all our interactions with him it feels like Albedo in the pop-up pictures and has stepped out, gradually getting to know you and becoming one with you, and only showing to the Traveler his mischievous side that others can't see. For example, in the event "Hues of the violet garden" he asked Lumine: "Hehe, can't I come and see you when nothing is up?" referring to their conversation in his first story quest when Albedo asked Lumine if he can solicit her help again when need arises and she answered: "Sure, even if you just want some company, find me anytime". He is so considerate! Like Lumine! Or when during his first story quest he asked her to make him a meal as part of test but in reality Albedo was just hungry. Or when Albedo, Lumine and Paimon were making scary stories in the event "Shadows Amidst Snowstorms", Albedo said that he finds Paimon's story about replacing the victim amusing and said that he would like bring it up in the future conversations. Paimon: "Do you want to scare ppl with it?" Albedo: "Yes" (nodding). Paimon: "This guy has a real mean streak!" Albedo: (I will meet Lumine in the city and will deliberately hide the mark on my neck. Looking forward to it). The victory expression of a successful prank! He is so funny! Lumine was smirking back and found his behavior amusing! Just get married you two! He is keeping a polite distance with others but with Lumine he is different. Albedo always talks about how interested he is in her and how he wants to spend more time with her (esp by themselves). He is slowly opening his heart to her. And is evolving because of her. He confessed his love for Lumine sweetly in his teapot lines and asked for a date. Albedo suggested for Lumine to live with him on Dragonspine in the end of event "Shadows Amidst Snowstorms".

I think the plot of his character overall is pretty good. It's nice seeing that he is gradually gaining more friends. Albedo is definitely not a flat, cold person as some may think.

During "Midsummer Island Adventure" event Albedo knew from the start that the "evil" Dodo King is Alice but didn`t tell anyone about that because he thinks that the game shouldn't be ruined, let people discover the warm surprise. He's nice and patient with Klee and is a kind brother to her. He appreciated Cyno's jokes. He promises to protect Lumine on numerous occasions.

In short, Albedo is a charming character. An elegant gentleman but a silly little man with Lumine and likes to tease her.

He is cute!

I shouldn't be allowed to have ideas

So I'm a disabled bitch with joint problems and said problems are my joints don't function right and don't like to stay in place and I'm hypermobile

I am also an autistic kinky hoe who thinks shibari is pretty and isn't just for kink, it's an art form

My little monkey brain put those two thoughts together and went "hey what if shibari but for my dysfunctional ass joints, I'll tie them shits in place"

And then I realized that the structure of a lot of braces would be pretty easy to pull off in shibari form

Update: I found a way to make what basically amounts to a posture corrector (which sounds arbitrary and stupid but actually helps shit like your shoulders and upper back) with a modified chest harness

Bonus for the 'tism, anxiety, and other ND/mi folx, the pressure is sublime, it scratches that "I want constant hard pressure" itch, at least for me

It is midnight my time and I have an early ass interview so I'm stopping for now but I'm gonna continue experimenting and exploring this

[endlessnightlock]

Have you ever thought about writing a Dark!Peeta.

An Everllak with the StepfordWife/ Don't worry Darrling twist would be great.

I've written some Dark! Peeta. Why Is The Window Open? has some very dark stuff---Katniss is impregnated with the antichrist. Mind the triggers if you decide to read it. I went there. I tagged it as a zombie fic, but the zombies are more background characters/hanging around back there as a threat.

Here are some Dark! Peeta drabbles I've written:

You Fear The Dark, Or Rather, What's In The Dark

Soldier!Peeta

Hijacked!Peeta

There are probably more that I'm forgetting :).

Okay though, serious question time. Have you read @badnovels fics on Ao3? Those will scratch any Dark!Peeta itches you might have. I remember reading a few other cool ones from @everlarkficquestions Dark! Peeta list.

Hope this helps. Unfortunately the writing gland inside my monkey brain is a bit dried up lately and I haven't really been writing. I hate it, hate it, hate it, but I'm done fighting it for now.

spending 20 minutes downloading and transferring a 7 hour video to my tiny game console to scratch my monkey brain itch

What introduced you to lmk? like some fanart or a tiktok edit

For me it was a nezha edit (it was a leak at the time, but obviously I didn't know it) and I loved its design so much that I decided to see lmk, previously I knew that the series existed since I really like everything that has to do with Sun Wukong (and the journey to the west and Nezha too of course)

my love of lmk was a slow burn that then sparked into an inferno

FOR YOU SEE

it began while i was watching OSP’s jttw summarizes videos and listening to their podcast and there were some people asking Res if she watches the show (she hadn’t and prob still has not because her reason was by simply not watching it, she wouldn’t accidentally have their style influence her own. also ensuring that her summarized videos stayed original)

then i noticed some fanart of lmk on instagram (idk how that happened tbh maybe the algorithm took my interest in fanrtists of animated movies and shows to equal “hey you might like this too!”) but since i had no clue what lmk really was and was more loyal to jttw itself, i ignored it (tho one of the fanart it’s drew really good kung fu panda fanart so i saw lmk for about a month or too before i deleted my instagram

and then i saw a lot of lmk in the comments of OSP’s video about the Six Eared Macaque chapter but ignored it still

and then tumblr polls happened

many polls were made. many ship dynamic polls were made

there was also the character of all time poll, of which i was a Sun Wukong activist and found some lmk fans who reblogged my propaganda thread

(during this time— April— I discovered Epic: the musical)

i found lmk once more in the sun/moon ship poll. it was merthur vs shadowpeach and i stayed true to my shadowpeach but i noticed one of my (then) mutual-in laws was very passionate about shadowpeach and i grew curious

i searched it up (beginning of May), somehow found a playlist with seasons 1-3 two days after i began my search, watched all of it in a day (it should be noted that i had been recovering from finals) and found myself hooked

I also felt cheated out of the shadowpeach ship because, through the eyes of my (then) mutual-in law, the ship seemed to popular on tumblr. then all the shit i see on YouTube is spicy noodles and people arguing in the comments that shadowpeach are brothers

anyway

i found out very quickly that the show did scratch a special itch in my brain (it almost didn’t if i’m being honest. i was almost put off by MK and Mei’s personalities at first but figured i would wait if our since AHiB is only the show’s pilot) and now i wanted more

i went onto twitter bc i struggles to find fanart on tumblr

i realized there was a 4th season already out (also weird discord drama???? idk i only was there for the art) AND some nice metas to dip my toes in

i leave twitter and go to yt to find the 4th season (and also bc there was a whole thing about new accounts getting called out for being “pro-shippers” so i decided to tap out) and then found out about Monkey King 2009 (which i watched to stave off the desire of s4 but this backfired bc i got obsessed with that one too and only 12 episodes are subtitled for it)

AND THEN I FIND SEASON 4

i watch it all and realize i have to wait for the s4 special, but i am more prepared for it (and now i feel more comfortable interacting with lmk tumblr) which leads to me making my own metas (this was spurred by my desire for more swk metas)

and thus i found and curated my lmk fandom experience on tumblr and satiated my brain with metas and fics and art until s4 special and then rinse and repeat until s5 :D

[yeonzzzn]

I have a hot take 🙋‍♀️

so you know how everyone is alsos like "oh jake is so chase atlantic code" so on so forth? well while I agree I can also see others as well. so here's who I think in the hyungline is who coded 😌✋

heeseung -> ex habit & somo coded

jay -> the neighborhood & arctic monkeys coded

jake -> the weekend & chase atlantic coded

sunghoon -> daniel di angelo & russ coded

I think a majority of these are pretty self explanatory if you know/listen to the artist, but what do you think? 👀👀👀

KAY I WANNA KISS YOUR BRAIN YOU ARE SO RIGHT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

i’ve thought about this many times before and you just scratched an itch I had. god i’m not going to be able to get this out of my head now

[crispy-ghee]

The addition of a limit on How Many Tweets You Can View is probably what's gonna sink that hellsite unless Melon Husk comes to his senses. Ppl aren't going to be compelled to pay to see more content, bc the content is 90% fucking uncurated void-screaming.

The interest in twitter is stumbling over interesting stuff, catching up on news, seeing things from people you like, and also just scratching that addictive infinite slot machine itch in our monkey brains, and you tolerate the rest of the sludge to get to that. Cutting off access to that might cause some people to pay, but most ppl are gonna just straight up bounce and get all that somewhere else, or idk realize that it's actually nice not being there haha

Anyway, Twitter crumbling does mean losing something very specific, but at this point probably good for my health. Still mad though. But at least I can still post Kal boobs here.

[deafleppard]

if you still do this one 👀🎨 (for @brawngp2009)

hiiii tan this is. so delayed. it's been a weird two days lol.

so firstly. this alex edit changed my brain chemistry. fully altered it. the layout the colors the stickers. every single choice you made was absolutely perfect. the cheeky baby pic in the gameboy. the matching george and lily polaroids. the fucking sexy ass double overtake. it has just the right amount of motion to it without it feeling overwhelming. just 10/10. absolutely perfect.

then there's this jenson one. i can't even explain it but it just scratches an itch in my brain just right?? the red in the text with the yellow in the bursts. the burst around his eye with the lil glint in it for best you ever had?? the fuckign. arctic monkey lyrics combined with jenson. it just all works.

THIS SOPHIE TRUAX TOOTHPICK SEBMARK SET. firstly. taste. somebody else who understands the sebmark implications of that verse. the sophie truax f1 community may simply only consist of me and you but that is so fine b/c i still get to see art like this. the coloring. the fucking magazine letter ransom note style text. it's just. so fucking good god

the thing about your work is that you whether or not there's any moving pieces in it you always like. perfectly capture this sense of motion? and you have such a solid understanding of typography and such solid image choices and just. every time you post something i'm truly just. in such awe of it. literally you never miss.

send me a 🎨 and i'll tell you my favorite art/fic/graphic/gif of yours

[rxzennia]

YOUUU

HNGRHRHRHRHR

HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME SO DOWN BAD FOR AVENTURINE, HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE FOR ME TO FALL IN LOVE WITH AVENTURINE EVEN MOREE 😭😭😭

(Spoilers: It was in fact possible 💀)

In fact, I am actually losing my sanity, tweaking, glitching into the floors and the walls like a rabid, broken, and disconnected character of a video game you find off of a random deep end website.

My current mood is deranged simpery hours where I spasm and run around my bedroom like a deranged insane monkey. The way you write scratches such an itch in my brain, I am absolutely mesmerized at the way you piece your words together into something of poetry, the way the scenes smoothly fade into one another, and the way you characterize Aventurine and Reader's dynamic is chefs kiss

I love how within Voracity's tales, you are able to convey that reader is someone who is actually dangerous, they can and will if they have to and I have so much respect for that. And the way you can infer that the Reader is such a well-written multi faceted character by simply reading a singular post that involves them even without the context has me in a literal chokehold

Perhaps it's just my preference and enjoyment in reading stories where the reader is rather dominant and/or powerful but your way of expression through the medium of text is something I find so absolutely beautiful that I can't help but admire and gush over it

On another note: Don't forget to take care of yourself. I'll be looking forward to any content you decide to create 🫶

anon you are the one weaving poetry anon thank you so much 😭

there's no way you can't fall harder for aventurine we can all still fall harder‼️‼️ if you can't that means you're not trying hard enough‼️‼️

i mean, i am compelled to stick with the lore regarding the voracity path and oroboros, so... yeah... (protip: my series stay true to most facts regarding oroboros and their path, if you're curious about [your] lore and want a general idea)

of course! still recovering from my all nighter two days ago 🫠 but birthday fic in the works 🎉

with love, ares
