[silvermistyy]

are you fucking kidding me

I think I just saw god 🧎‍♀️

LORD HAVE MERCY ON A POOR SINNERS SOUL

he's so fine

[tinykittendelusion]

Seventeen as different types of alcoholic beverages

a/n: I'm kinda craving alcohol plus i want to try soju so bad. Also I was too lazy to proofread this😭🤌🏻

triggers: Alcohol , Consumption of alcohol

Scoups - Champagne

Champagne is a sign of luxury. Honestly if anyone could afford drinking champagne everyday it's scoups. He is like the fun bubbly vibe of celebrating that champagne brings along with its quiet sense of luxury.

Jeonghan - Classic Gin Martinis

I see jeonghan preferring Classic Over dirty martinis. He just has that vibe. Plus Classic martini drinkers are mysterious, clever and know how to get your attention which is how I see jeonghan.

Joshua - Scotch

Now this man is outgoing and fun but he's also a classy laid back person. I feel scotch whiskey is that alcohol which is very good for just drinking neat or on rocks and having a conversation with someone you care about. And that is exactly the same vibes that Joshua gives.

Jun - Negroni

Hoshi - Tequila

Negroni people stick out in any crowd. They don't do it on purpose it's just who they are. Really funny and weird sense of humor. Also extremely excited to meet new people but shy.

Tequila is made for people who like letting loose on the dance floor It's for people who are already buzzing with too much energy. You live in the moment and celebrate everything whether good or bad.

Wonwoo - Brandy

Brandy drinkers are people who are very comfortable in their own skin. They enjoy just existing and are comfortable with having attention on themselves and not seeking it out. They have the aura which attracts attention.

Woozi - Absinthe

The naturally creative person. Absinthe drinkers look like they are always out there to look for inspiration and find their muse.They want to comfort people around them with their art.

Dokyeom - Vodka and Cranberry

Mingyu - Wine

Party Animals. Would sing till 3 am loudly People who live in the moment. Embarrassment is embarrassed by them. Also most likely to drink until they black out. Overall behave like they go to frat parties even after college.

Wine drinkers are fun people who like to live in the moment. They are sociable and enjoy stories more than they care to admit.Also not very good at hiding things especially after a few glasses of wine. Like the sophisticated air that wine brings.

Minghao - Cosmopolitan

The glamourous but bossy types. Really specific about certain things. Has an image in mind of who they want to be and would follow it dedicatedly. Likes relaxing and conversing more than partying but once they are drunk you see their wilder side. Become more talkative once drunk

Seungkwan - Espresso Martini

Vernon - Whiskey Sour

The energetic social butterflies who are determined to give their 100% in anything. Also most probably coffee addicts. Genuinely funny people.

Dino - Whiskey

People who drink whiskey sours normally have these complex but opposing personalities.While whiskey in general is the drink of the confident but if you drink whiskey in a cocktail form that means that you are more than what's on the surface.

Whiskey people are confident. They enjoy having a good time. They also enjoy entertaining others and just making sure everyone is having a good time. They also sometimes get carried away but also may even have the deepest conversation with you over alcohol.

a/n: alot of the information here is from various articles which referenced a study on people's personalities and the alcohol they consume. I also added my own thoughts too.

[creedslove]

Marcus love seeing you with little babies, he immediately is thinking how good you would look like all round with his babies, all because of him.

Can be a little possessive. You are his. He has a plan for the two of you.

Want spend time with you. If you don't have it, he is calling or texting. He fell for you hard!

Can be a little needy.

Helpless romantic.

Can't cook, but he is trying.

Marcus Pike x f!reader

A/N: bestie, I decided to write headcanons on your headcanons because omfg marcus pike amrite

100% Marcus love when you sit on his face 😊

• he worships your body and he makes sure you see, know and feel it! Even if he doesn't do it with words, he very often does it with his mouth, and face sitting is a whole new level of worshipping; you are literally there, sitting on him, letting him savory you and give you all the pleasure he yearns to give you

• he low-key thinks that if he pleasures you a lot, it will make it harder for you to leave him; you can't blame our sweet FBI boyfriend, after all, he'd had his heart broken more than once and is kinda scared it will happen again

Lazy morning sunday with cock warming

• he wakes you up by kissing you, that man is a kisser™ and he starts by kissing your neck, your shoulders, your collarbone... Anything. During the week he's the first one to wake up, shower and get breakfast ready, but on the weekend? He's just about his lazy love Sundays with you

• of course it doesn't take you very long to get wet, I mean, it's Marcus Pike after all, right and as soon as you are ready and slippery, he gets inside of you, earning a delicious little soft moan from you

• he grunts at how tight you are but he just stays there, loving the warmth of your body against his, big arms wrapped around your frame and loving to smell you

Cuddling with you after work

• he is a cuddler™ and he is able to tell when you had a hard day at work or when you're just simply exhausted, because he often has these at work too and he knows how much he misses your touch during the day

• he often tells you just to order something so you don't have to tire yourself out by cooking or he just makes you two a sandwich and then he's back at cuddling

• you spend some relaxing time on the couch, he likes watching movies, classic movies because your lovely Marcus is a well educated man and also passionate about art, if you're in the mood to watch it with him, you'll just let him wrap himself around your body and clarify a doubt or two you might have about the story. If you aren't in the mood he will quietly hold you tight his eyes glued to the TV while his head rests on your shoulder and he lets you do whatever you want

• he also gives the best cuddles in bed, it doesn't matter if they are pre or post sex, they are always so soothing and warm, capable of making you forget about all the bad things in life

• and I know it's not really related to it but don't forget that Marcus smells so good 🤌

He loves mirror sex, just so he can watch you two, and then the eye contact is making him loose his mind

• he loves mirror sex, there's some so erotic and beautiful about it, it's poetic and pornographic to him at the same time and he loves it; it's perfect from when he's pounding from behind and he doesn't want to miss your beautiful, full of pleasure expressions and how your body looks so good against his

• he loves to stay at hotels where there are mirrors, if you don't have a big one he can display in front of the bed, he will at least fuck you in the bathroom in front of it

Marcus love seeing you with little babies, he immediately is thinking how good you would look like all round with his babies, all because of him.

• Marcus loves seeing you with babies and little kids, in fact he is very good with kids himself, always being the life of the party to his nieces and nephews or to your little cousins, he is just so good with them

• they trust him easily and when they aren't old enough to understand how cool his FBI job is, they just like the fact he is nice and patient with them

• this man is also the Halloween king, he decorates the house in an awesome way and he definitely hands out the best candies and he def flashes his fbi badge around when he spots older kids trying to bully the smaller ones into giving them their candy

• but he melts when he sees you with kids, no matter if you are as good as he is with them or if you're better or if you consider yourself a disaster with kids. It just brings such pride and butterflies to his stomach to imagine one day it will be the three of you, instead of only the two of you together, perhaps the family will be even bigger, but you gotta start somehow

• he already knows how he wants to name his baby Pike

Can be a little possessive. You are his. He has a plan for the two of you.

• he is possessive, not in a creepy or uncomfortable way, but you are his and there's no argument about that, no matter how much you reassure him, he still worries you will leave him like everyone else, and for that, he has the need to touch you constantly: hands on your hips, on your back, on your arms when you are standing and hands on your knees/thighs when you are sitting down. He really likes when you sit on his lap too, though this is reserved mostly for when you two are home alone

Want spend time with you. If you don't have it, he is calling or texting. He fell for you hard!

• he likes spending time with you no matter what; the two of you have a busy job, sometimes you have good days at work and sometimes you have awful days and he always makes sure to remind you he's there for you

• it's okay if you are busy, he'll send you a text just to check on you or a quick phone call, he might even have something delivered to your home, like some flowers or some takeout

• but he also knows how to give him space when you need to be on your own too

Can be a little needy.

• yes, as we've already discussed, he lets his anxiety get the best of him sometimes and allows the fear he has of being brokenhearted and left once more appear, which causes him to crave more reassurance, even if he doesn't say so, you know that's what he feels 💔

Helpless romantic.

• he is a helpless romantic, he lives for romance and he is just over the moon he finally met someone worthy of sharing this overwhelming love he carries in his heart

• he isn't shy to tell you he loves you, nor to show you with kisses and other gestures; he brings you small thoughtful gifts very often and he never misses an anniversary, birthday or valentine's day

• he kisses you under the mistletoe and when the clock strikes midnight on New Year's

Can't cook, but he is trying.

• he is trying and you appreciate him a lot for that; he is able to make some pretty good breakfast though and it's enough for you, loving how he actually lets you sleep some more and waits for you to wake up with a cup of coffee and pancakes, it means a lot to you

• he prefers to take you out to eat or just order from your favorite places, but he trusts you when you tell him you are going to cook together, which consists mostly of you doing the cooking while he's nibbling at the ingredients here and there or just chopping up the vegetables

• but he will do the dishes for you because he's a gentleman :')

[cinnasalmon]

It’s the classic cliché… why does the wrong stuff always feel so right…

You had just turned 19…still no experiences with the world…ever so newly and exciting, but still scary…

“Open up for me a little wider…” his voice smooths over you, and all you can do is agree to it. You open your legs wider feel all soft of embarrassed till his large hand is caressing your face. It instantly makes you feel better, comforted by his warm touch.

“Good girl” he whispers to you, his firey eyes that people have described as fearsome in battle are nothing but soft and delicate now.

Zevlor, 23 and fastly moving up the ranks in the Hellriders… and one of your father’s underlings. People have been talking about him a lot lately for his work and his service to the city… he is know for his kindness and ability…as know for his popular with a few of the ladies of the city. But how could anyone blame them? Zevlor is so handsome with gorgeous horns and his long golden hair, and a smile so dangerous it could make anyone swoon…

Maybe that’s how you ended up here? With his tail wrapped around your leg as he lines up his cock to your entrance, as his words continue to make your quiver. One to many smiles, one to many lingering glances and one to many touches to the small of your back that brought you here begging for him to take your virginity.

At first he denied you, saying he couldn’t. But the more you pleaded and whispered how it hurts having to long for him. How empty you feel without knowing his kiss or touch…well Zevlor never wants to make anyone unhappy especially a cute little thing like you… so he laid you down on his bed. Whispers of promises to make you feel good, kisses full of lust and tounge as you give yourself to him. Father could never know…this was a secret only ment for you two…

Your breath catches as you feel his cocks head start to push through. Despite all the prep of him eating you through your first orgasm the stretch still stings. The further he pushes the more you feel every bump. Every hot vein throbbing within you, stretching it taut.

Then half way in he stops his full lips presses kisses to your sweating face, and one passionate kiss before he speaks again, “it will hurt for a moment…then a promise it feels good”

Squeezing his shoulders you nod, “I trust you Zevlor…I will always trust you…”

One more flash of that kind smile before he’s snapping his hips into you, the snapping hurt…and from the way his sensitive nose flared you know he smells the blood. But He doesn’t stop, his hips keep working, his hands arching your body till that pain is formed to pure bliss. His groans addictive and your moans are shameful…but he was right…it does feel so good. Dangerously so…

-thank you for the amazing young Zevlor art!

The fucking Sun has not even risen yet and you got me feeling a type of way. I feel like I won first place prize for a contest I didn't do anything for 😢 omg

The details 🤌 the large hand on the face..... flashing smile.... the nose flare............

I love that he's an attentive and caring lover even at 23, boy you should be pumpin and dumpin like other guys your age but no, you got virgins begging for you. How does it feel king

[mad-who-ra]

Me watched The Nun II and me as always has thoughts and I am gonna make it everyone else’s problem. So let’s see!

THERE COULD BE UNINTENTIONAL SPOILERS I DONNO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

THE LIGHTING 🤌🏼

THE CAMERA WORK!! ♥️🤌🏼 Like seriously! The last few horror movies I saw *glares at Insidious and Evil Dead* had low lights and shaky camera under the name of horror. TAKE NOTES YOU GUYS.

Oh the sound effects toooo! 💕🙌🏼

Valak 🥺🤌🏼. Listen, it is an angel fallen from grace and banished to hell and it wants its own grace back! Can we give it a break please!?

The scenes ufff. Every frame is a masterpiece and the lighting is so good. Valak’s entry is so fucking good. I love the abandoned chapels and the boarding schools with abandoned chapels and it’s just- I wanna screenshot each frame. It’s an art.

Valak is one dramatic and overconfident bitch. I love the methods it opts to scare people for kicks. Have you seen the trailer!? The magazine scene is just as good in the movie and THERE ARE MORE HORROR SCENES! They did not put every single bit in the trailer. *glares at every other recent horror movie*

Talking about Valak being dramatic, it hangs out in old churches and kills the pastors. Kind of “awww where is your christ?!” And uff good for it!

Oh everyone is dumb, as they should be in a horror movie. The classic “who’s there?” kinda dumb.

Frenchie is cute and still very much possessed, but cute nonetheless.

Valak is tired of Irene, I’ll tell you that. She won’t die, like girl please. It’s an immortal demon have some respect.

All in all, AMAZING. LOVED IT

Also we know for a fact that Valak’s not dead and they gave no explanation as to how it is still alive and made it out? Or they did and I missed it. Either way, I would like to know.

Bonus for my marathi moots

During a horror scene, won’t get into details, when the plan went sideways, a guy in the theatre shouted “गेम झाली रे श्रेया” and we all just- grjjskanekfkskan i love watching horror with comedy commentary

[sittinginmylittlecorner]

I love Scandal in the Spotlight. Goes without saying. The guys have been my little safe space since I was a teenager. They're well-written and unique, and the story setting is fun. They make you laugh and cry and their bond with each other is one of my favorite things. This is established.

However.

Genuinely some of the CGs suck. This is coming from someone who is head over heels obsessed with the game. I'm sorry some of the artwork for the CGs leave much to be desired.

So.

For the heck of it, l'm gonna rate some CGs based on whether I think it looks realistically proportionate and we're gonna do this one guy at a time :)

The lucky boy today is: Kyohei Rikudoh Mr. Producer man himself and my personal favorite 😊

I have a set of about nine CGs of Kyohei’s that I will rate, based solely on personal bias and opinion. Let us begin :)

Starting off with a classic one from his main story, we give this one a 9/10. Proportionately it’s well done. It’s charged with personality. We love it.

What is this? Why is this? It just… no. Doesn’t really look like him, the proportions are off and it bothers me. 4/10.

Yes, oh my god. The intensity, the drama, that jawline 😍 we love it. 8/10.

Okay this one is good. It’s at an odd angle but it’s a decent look in spite. 6/10

This one, LOVE this one. The fervent look on his face and his domineering attitude is 😚🤌🏻. Omg and the hair 🥰 yes, we love. 8/10.

Okay I like this one but, it’s like we changed art styles all of a sudden. Like it looks like him but in an alternate art style universe. 6/10.

This one is one of my most favorite ever. It’s so accurately him it scratches an itch in my brain. Like this is Kyohei in a snapshot. His expression is fond and kinda tender but slightly teasing, lol just like him. I love this one. 12/10.

I hate this one with a burning passion for literally no reason whatsoever. -2/10

This one might be my favorite one ever. Kyohei’s stories pull on my heart strings so hard and this CG encompasses everything that pulls me in. Just LOOK AT IT. Omg. He literally carries around so much, more than the others in a lot of ways, and for a moment you can see it in his eyes and I just— 🥺😭 100/10.

Do you agree with my ratings?

why do you lime art or what got you into art?

I choked and copped out some answer about how my parents put classical music on and gave me college text books at a young age lol.

What I meant to say because I had to go back to work.

There was this piece of art I was really proud of when I was in third grade. I did a whole page with pastel colors and made a lily pad blossoming. it had white outlining, greens, whites, yellows and blues.

I like how at one time I learned about how each brush stroke you can see in painting can give you and idea of how the emotions the person is feeling. anger, stress, calm, etc. How you can feel what is a heavy stroke or a light stroke. How time and time atones to experience for a person honing their craft.

What I wanted to say was that I loved going to museum trips and would just stare at pieces for a long time and just read about the artist. I would guess why the piece was created. How they felt or what the reason for creating it was. I wanted to tell you so much but didn't want to be overbearing.

I wanted to tell you how I was in tune with hiphop at a young age in the back seat of my parents honda. Which then lead to eventually me taking part of breaking and learning about tagging and the streets. The culture of tunnel hopping and exploring every wall in a different city. Every style that was different.

I wanted to tell you how art is a place that i always imagined in movies where you could find a lover or an intellectual friend. To understand people from different backgrounds and why they came to this place.

I wanted to tell you all of this and much more but I guess. I just felt embarrassed and shy and it was a little scary because i've never been asked that question. I tend to go to these events bu myself because no one around me is interested in it. So I choked and gave you a basic answer that I usually give.

Also I wasn't sure if you were taken or single so I was also worried that me divulging a of this would breach a boundary. After all i just met you lol.

anyways if i shared this with you I guess we're friends now hahaha. You're a dope person and you'll be going places bruhv 👌🤌🫡💪😮‍💨

[daredevilexchange]

Want to be featured here? Head to this page and fill in the form!

See what this is about here, or if you’re using the app here.

What’s your fannish ID? Just Shelby! I like to use my actual name across all platforms so people can find me easily! 

What types of fanworks do you create? I make a lot of digital art! I really enjoy drawing fanart of characters! Most of the art I create gets turned into stickers and prints that I sell in my Etsy shop (theshelbylernershop)! I really love drawing expressions and looking at the small details in a persons face. It’s amazing how dramatically an expression can change with just a simple line stroke here or by moving the eyebrow up just a millimeter. And there’s something I call the “special move” that takes a portrait of someone going from “just some guy” to “oh it’s the character!” Which can sometimes be just moving or adding in the tiniest detail. I love that!! I have branched out a bit into making TikTok skits where I incorporate some comedy stuff and drawing stuff! It’s a lot of fun!

What are your favourite types of fanworks, when you’re not creating? Definitely art!! I LOVE the art that other people create! I have so many prints saved on my Etsy because there are just a ton of talented people out there! I also appreciate how there are very serious and beautiful pieces that look like they belong in the louvre and then like…spicy avengers pinup art….which also belongs in the louvre😤🤌 also TikTok because the people there are so funny!!

What do you like in particular about this fandom? You see what got me into DD wasn’t the post-NWH craze! About a week or two before the movie came out (I hadn’t heard any of the speculation of DD making a cameo), I decided “hey let’s watch that Marvel show with the blind guy in it…people say it’s really good!” And then when I saw NWH, I was halfway through the first season and was like 😳 Omg Matt??? From there it’s just been a downward spiral. I LOVED the series and symbolism of it. I’m really into “dark religion” (I blame Supernatural for that) and so the symbolism in the some of the shots and themes just *chefs kiss* I love it. The anachronistic feel of it is super satisfying to me as well. You have churches (which are classical, clean, holy etc.) as a backdrop for a bloodied and bruised vigilante. Sister Maggie cleaning Matt’s knuckles after a fight was something so perfect to watch. And of course after completing the series, the scenes in the church with her hit so much harder. I love the humanity above all in the series. And I love that people love that too. Matt is just a guy (“a really good looking guy” hehe) and showcasing the fact that he is first and foremost human with human thoughts, feelings and emotions is just so refreshing. I mean this series showed two grown men crying during an argument with each other, can’t say I’ve seen that in other marvel productions. I could go on and on about things that made me fall in love with this show and these characters but those main themes are my favorite. In terms of the people in the fandom, they’ve all been so creative and funny and welcoming and I love being a part of it!

Do you like participating in fan events? I like participating in group events because it brings likeminded people together! I ESPECIALLY love conventions because it gives you an excuse to leave the house in full costume and go talk with other enthusiasts. I think when you have something you like and have no one to talk to about it, it can feel a bit lonely! But when you have these events or online campaigns, it can make the experience a little more fun since you have other people who like the same thing!

What about your creating process? To get my creative ~juices~ flowing, I like to go through my “sh*t I wanna draw” album on my phone! I save pictures or poses to an album from Pinterest so when I want to draw, I have something for inspiration! I do like to listen to music and watch a TV show I’ve seen a bunch of times while I draw but sometimes I go for hours in silence because I’m so in the zone. Sometimes, especially when watching DD, I’ll find screenshots of particular scenes that I like or facial expressions I find to be particularly unique and draw those out! I don’t always finish them or clean them up but they’re fun to do!

Do you interact a lot with other fans? I don’t interact with a TON of other fans mostly because I’m so new to the fandom. Most of my interactions take place on TikTok just because people are more willing to comment and joke about things there. I find Instagram and Twitter to be more “silently enthusiastic” about fandom culture, at least on my account. I’d love for people to be more vocal about their thoughts and ideas! Like hey…come say hi!

Is there any particular piece you'd like to showcase for this post? I picked my “God’s Soldier” piece for the post because I spent a lot of time on it and it’s definitely my favorite piece I’ve created for DD!

Do you have other fandoms you’d like to talk about? It might not be a surprise to say that I started in the MCU as a Bucky Barnes simp. I’ve been a casual Marvel fan ever since I was a kid watching Spider-Man with my older brother. But when Wandavision came out, I did a little rewatch of some of the films and had my eye caught by a certain angry old man with one arm. I LOVE Bucky’s tragic history and story arc and just everything about him. So naturally I’d have the same love for another guilt-ridden, tragic guy. I keep seeing people call it the “Bucky to Matt pipeline” and how’s its a straight line. Also I think the two have some pretty funny similarities: -both are played by 39 year old, foreign-born, dark-haired actors whose first and last names start with the same letter (Sebastian Stan and Charlie Cox) -both characters signature look is only seeing half of their face (top half and bottom half) -both characters first and last names start with the same letter (Bucky Barnes and Matt Murdock) -both are filled to brim with guilt and blame themselves a lot -both have blonde and generally happy go lucky besties -both actors are literally the complete opposite of their characters Those are just some things I found to be funny, I certainly have a type when it comes to MCU characters! 

Is there anything else you want to tell us about yourself? Let’s see….I’m 22, a Cancer, she/her, I have a bachelors degree in traditional animation and am going to be graduating with my masters in entrepreneurship this spring. I love to draw and I have own an Etsy shop :)
