Can you do hc of nerd!matt and popular! reader sfw and nsfw 🙏🙏🙏🙏
── ୨୧ ! HEADCANON;
nerd!matt sturniolo x popular!reader
༻✦༺ ༻✧༺ ༻✦༺
── ୨୧ ! SFW:
── nerd!Matt who always had his nose buried in books, and never expected anyone to notice him.
── nerd!Matt who stayed behind after class, talking to the teacher about his favorite physics theories or latest computer coding project.
── nerd!Matt who was more than a little surprised when Y/N, the popular girl everyone adored, approached him.
── nerd!Matt who couldn't believe it when she kept coming back. Why would someone as popular and beautiful as Y/N want to hang out with a loser like him?
── nerd!Matt who thought that maybe it was some kind of joke, but as days passed, he realized that she really liked talking to him, listening to his rambles about the latest scientific discoveries or the plot of the new sci-fi novel he was engrossed in.
── nerd!Matt who would often pull Y/N into his arms no matter where they were, pressing soft kisses to her temple and murmuring how much he loved her, how pretty she was and how lucky he was to have her.
── nerd!Matt who was attentive, always noticing the little things, like when she had a rough day and needed some cheering up, or when she wore a new perfume.
── popular!Y/N who, on the other hand, was the more outgoing of the two, and loved spoiling Matt, buying him little gifts, like a new set of headphones or a rare comic book.
── nerd!Matt who would always blush, insisting she didn’t need to give him all of that, but she could see the joy in his eyes whenever he received something from her.
── nerd!Matt who would help Y/N with her assignments, patiently explaining concepts she didn’t understand. He had a knack for teaching, making even the most complicated topics seem simple.
── popular!Y/N who loved having coffee dates with him, sitting close to him, his voice soothing and steady as he told her about some random thing. He’d often get carried away, rambling on and on, and Y/N would just sit there, chin resting on her hand, listening to him with blown wide pupils.
── popular!Y/N who was always there for Matt, supporting him in his dreams, encouraging him to pursue his passions.
── popular!Y/N who would go out of her way to make his life easier, like bringing him his favorite snacks during late-night study sessions or surprising him with a coffee in the morning before classes.
── nerd!Matt who is totally obsessed with Y/N, and is always finding a way to bring her up in every conversation, gushing about everything she'd ever done, "oh, my girlfriend taught me this", "my girlfriend loves that music", "my girlfriend comes here all the time", "my girlfriend said...".
── nerd!Matt who's favorite thing to do is watching her cheerleader practice, and who has her whole schedule memorized and, during busy days, he always find a way to surprise her with her favorite snacks or only his presence.
── popular!Y/N who is always leaving short, sweet notes with little doodles and slips them into Matt's locker, always making sure to be close when he opens the door, only to see his cheeks turn into a bright red and his lips form a shy smile.
── nerd!Matt who, even though isn't into big parties or social gatherings, if Y/N wants to go to one, he shows up to support her, staying by her side and making sure she feels special.
── nerd!Matt who always find a way to meet her between classes and insists on carrying her bag and making sure she gets to her next one in time, even if he already has his many books on his hands and it causes him to get late to his next class.
༻﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡༺
── ୨୧ ! NFSW:
── nerd!Matt who is incredibly shy and insecure before their first time. He had never been with anyone before Y/N, and he was terrified of messing things up.
── nerd!Matt who feels inadequate with his lack of experience, especially when he compares himself to Y/N’s previous relationships, turning him self-conscious about his body, not sure if he was attractive enough for her.
── popular!Y/N who was always patient with him and never pressured him into anything, always letting him set the pace.
── popular!Y/N who made sure he felt comfortable and safe when they had sex for the first time, being gentle and reassuring him with soft touches and kind words.
── popular!Y/N who always showed him how much she adored his body, kissing every inch of him, making him feel cherished and loved, melting away his insecurities, allowing him to relax and enjoy their moments together.
── nerd!Matt who, with time, became more confident, and started embracing his body.
── nerd!Matt who take his time to learn what Y/N liked, where to touch and how to do it and turn his girl in a brainless doll.
── nerd!Matt who maintains his shy, reserved demeanor in public, blushing whenever Y/N gets too close, but in the moment they're alone, it's like a switch flips.
── nerd!Matt who has full control over her, manhandling Y/N with firm hands and intense eyes, loving the way she melts under his touch.
── nerd!Matt who has his mind constantly filled with the most sinful thoughts about Y/N, it doesn't matter where he is or what he's doing; her naked and perfect little body is always there.
── nerd!Matt who, during classes, fantasizes about taking her right then and there, bend her over the teacher's table and make her moan his name as loud as she can, begging for more.
── nerd!Matt who is a pussy addicted, and makes Y/N sit on his face whenever they can, her thighs trembling on either side of his head as he eats her out like a starved man.
── nerd!Matt who gets off on the way that she grips his hair, pulling hard as he buries his tongue deep inside her.
── nerd!Matt who is always hard, just one glance at Y/N, and he’s already straining against his pants.
── nerd!Matt who is obsessed with her boobs, whether they're covered by a shirt or not. He can’t help but stare like a pervert, his thoughts immediately drifting to how they’d feel in his hands, how her nipples would harden under his touch.
── nerd!Matt who is vocal about his need for his girl, often whimpering and whining when he’s hard, telling her how much better it would feel if he were inside her, until he can convince her.
── nerd!Matt who can be so desperate, pressing his erection against her thigh or ass, whispering dirty things in her ear about how he wants to bury himself in her warm walls, to feel her clenching around him all day long.
── nerd!Matt who, at school, always finds secluded spots to pull her aside for a heated make-out session, getting out of there with his glasses foggy and his hair messy.

I was wondering if you could make a Jock Cis male reader x klitz? Like Reader is a new student and immediately becomes popular and klitz hates that but reader has a HUGE crush on him and when he tells klitz, he thinks it’s a joke and it goes on like that, reader confessing and klitz thinking it’s a joke when one day he confesses while Matthew and Eli are around and Eli tells him he’s being serious and then he feels like an idiot for not realizing? Then they start dating 🤭 / SFW
Klitz x Jock!Male!Reader | Headcanons
Hi there! I'm so sorry for making you wait this long for your request! But I really hope you like what I've done with it. <3
notes; Jock!Male!Reader; Jock x Nerd; Getting Together; Fluff; Mini Fic in Bullet Points (rather than Headcanons, tbh).
You changed schools rather unexpectedly because you had to move from one town to another. Fortunately, you weren't given a hard time for being the new guy, because you were in the school's football team and they already knew your talent from games where they competed with your previous school. Thus, you rose to popularity within the first couple of months already.
Being popular wasn't really your cup of tea, but you knew that you were lucky to have all of those people on your side. You saw the way they treated the ones outside of their circles. It was revolting, but unfortunately the norm.
Because you didn't want to spend so much time with the other popular kids, though, you tried to find friends in your classes. You noticed one particular student, who shared most classes with you: Klitz.
It took you months to actually get on a level with him where you were comfortable calling what you had a friendship. He was pretty guarded around you, which you didn't fault him for. He was one of those people that the popular students liked to pick on regularly, so it made sense to you that he didn't immediately trust your advances to be friends with him.
The thing was that you quickly developed a massive crush on him, though. And you didn't really know if you should risk telling him or not, at first. But after a while, you simply couldn't keep it to yourself anymore.
So, you told him about your feelings for him.
His reaction wasn't exactly what you had expected. Sure, you had kind of figured that he might reject you; but that's not what happened. Instead, he angrily told you that he didn't like those jokes and that he expected better from you, before storming off.
It gave you a silver lining, though. He didn't outright reject you. He thought you were messing with him. Which let you hope that maybe if you could prove to him that you were serious, you'd have a chance after all.
Klitz avoided you for a while after that incident. It hurt, of course. But it gave you some time to think things through and plan out a scenario that was almost fool proof.
By having been friends with Klitz, you also befriended Eli and Matthew. Usually, you all hung out together, rather than one-on-one.
Thus, the next time you all met up at Eli's place, Klitz couldn't avoid you anymore. You had also talked to Matt and Eli about the whole crush thing and the confession fiasco, and they agreed to help you.
Things had gotten rather awkward at first, once you were all together. Eli tried to get any conversation going at all, but the tension between you and Klitz was thick and didn't give way for anything else to grow.
Gathering all your courage, you confessed to Klitz again. Same as last time. Almost word for word.
Klitz was quiet for a few moments after you were done talking. Then he sighed exasperatedly, "I told you that I didn't like those jokes. Why don't you know when to quit?"
Before you could respond with anything, Eli spoke up, "He's not joking, dude! He's serious. Y/N likes you, man!"
Shocked, Klitz turned to you with a slack mouth. He started to turn red and stammered out an apology, but you stopped him. All you wanted to know from him was if he liked you back.
He swallowed thickly and nodded. It took him another moment to actually say it.
You've never felt so relieved. And unable to hold yourself back, you tackled Klitz with a hug, absolutely overjoyed.
During the next weekend, you two finally went on your first date. The first of many.
#first time fulfilling a request since september oml#i hope it was okay! <3#male reader#klitz the girl next door#klitz x reader#paul dano#headcanon

Can you do a klitz hc for when his s/o is 'popular' and is a cheerleader/football player thanks🌼
(I love this request anon<3 my guilty pleasure and fanatsy is nerd x popular LMAO I’m gonna do a fem and masc reader for this)
-Klitz x fem!reader/ Klitz x masc!reader
Cheerleader!reader reader
Klitz likes you since freshmen year when you performed for the schools pep really!
You stood out from the other girls, you had something about you that drew him in closer
Senior year, english class is where you two would formally meet
the teacher picked partners for a scene analysis project of all the books you have this year or books before this year
and you we’re partnered with him
you greeted him with a warm smile and a wave, he could’ve sworn he melted on this inside
“I think we should so Romeo and Juliet since it has lots of symbolism we can build on…and I like it.” you laughed a bit at the end.
oh?
he thought you’d be more ditzy but he thought it was cute that you loved that Shakespeare classic
and hey, two unlikely lovers…like i don’t know…maybe you and him
You came to his house to work on the project! It very productive and you guys got to know each other!
After many study dates and hanging session, you asked him out!
at first he thought it was a joke
but you told him “Klitz you’re super smart and genuine and actually listen to me when I talk about smart stuff…plus you’re really really cute and I really like you as a person..you’re my type..”
He could’ve cried. We know Klitz thinks he’s ugly so to hear one of the most popular girls tell him he’s cute and her type. He’s in heaven.
Tells Matt and Eli, they’re both shocked. Eli is more jealous than Matt but they’re both happy for Klitz
When you go to school, walking hand in hand many were shocked. It’s Y/n and….who? Klitz? never really hear of him before.
You two realize your colleges are actually close each other! So going into college with this relationship will be easier <3 he loves it so much
feels on top of the world when you kiss his cheek in-front of the popular guys that liked you but like you said, he’s your type not them <3
Always comes to your practices and helps you stretch (his favorite part)
You bring him to cheer nationals and he hypes your up!
Need water? Here’s a cold water bottle! Feeling cold? Here’s your varsity jacket or would you like his? Oh you want his? You can have it!
Prom time, he think you look so beautiful in your dress <3
That night was the best ever. Slowing dancing with the love of your life and soon….the devil’s tango at your house ;)
He’s flustered when you tell your friends how amazing he is in bed and how big he is. Such an ego boost
voted the “weirdest couple” in the yearbook, submitted by Eli
Football player! reader
Okay let’s get this out of the way, Klitz is bisexual with a female lean
but when he sees you freshmen year, he’s swoon. The only people who know of his sexuality is Eli and Matthew
You look so handsome in your football uniform. He can’t help but stare <3
It’s now senior year and math class, he was surprised to see you in an advance math class but hey, it gives him a free pass to stare at you.
One day the teacher told Klitz to stay back, he didn’t know why he’s passing and he does well on his homework and tests
“I need you to tutor Mr. Y/n L/n, you have had the best grades all year and he’s starting to slip. I know he has football but he needs good grades to be able to play and graduate.”
Are you for real…? He gets to help you… just you two alone??? YESSS <3
You two meet up in the school library. You guys had a scheduled time. 5 minutes pass and you’re still not there. Gosh are you not gonna show up…? His only chance to-
“Hey! I’m so sorry dude! Practice was running later and I wanted to shower first so I don’t smell like grass and sweat.” you panted, sitting next to him, hair still a bit wet
God you looked so hot…anyways Klitz introduced himself and the two of you went to work
You were actually pretty chill to talk to and you guys actually have a lot in common. You two start to hang out more, sometimes inviting Eli and Matt along.
But the one night would be different. Klitz went to your house as planned for him to stay the night. He walked to your room and heard crying .
He came in and asked what was wrong
“Klitz..I don’t know what’s going on but…I find myself..thinking about you a lot and I…I think I like you..I’m so sorry..” you sobbed at the end
Klitz didn’t know what to say, he was shocked yet so happy. He came over and hugged you, “Hey…it’s okay Y/n…if I’m gonna be honest, I-I like you too…I always have..”
You turned to him asking if he was serious, he nodded his head yes. You couldn’t help but kiss him. Klitz embraced the kiss and it went on for a bit
Let’s say that night was filled of tears, kisses, confessions, and cuddles
But the only problem was school. You two didn’t know if everyone would accept you two, but you didn’t care, you wanted to show off your amazing, nerdy boyfriend
You will beat the shit out of anyone who insults him, you, or your guy’s relationship. Seeing that you do this, everyone respects you two and doesn’t try to start a fight with you
Klitz will ALWAYS come to your games, he’s your cheerleader <3
after winning or losing games Klitz runs to you and you pick him up as he showers you in praise and kisses. Even if you guys lost the game horribly, your boyfriends kisses made it much better <3
Prom night was kinda nerve wracking for you two, but when the both of you slowed danced together, it was like only you two were there
and later that night was…different yet special. It’s canon that Klitz is huge but you’re just as impressive and you made him feel so loved that night <3
IDC what anyone says Klitz bottoms for you <3 he likes to I won’t take constructive criticism on this
He’s brains and you’re brawn, no one can stop you two <3 Eli and Matt are so happy to see their best friend happy
in the year book as “class couple” y’all look so cute <3

iOS Apprentice Updated for Swift 4 & iOS 11
Happy Wednesday – it’s book release day during the iOS 11 Launch Party!
This week’s book release is the iOS Apprentice, Sixth Edition. This is our book for complete beginners to iOS 11 development, where you learn how to build four complete apps from scratch.
In this edition, team member Fahim Farook has taken Matthijs Holleman’s classic and completely updated the entire book iOS 11, Swift 4 and Xcode 9.
This is a free update for existing PDF customers, as our way of thanking you for supporting our site.
Don’t have a copy yet? Read on to see how you can get one during our limited-time sale!
What’s Inside the iOS Apprentice
Did you know that iOS Apprentice was first written for iOS 5, and it’s been updated for every version of iOS since then for free? You can’t beat that value!
Here’s what one of our readers has to say:
“Over the years, I have read iOS books/ebooks by Dave Mark, Big Nerd Ranch, Wei-Ming Lee, Neil Smythe, Matt Neuburg, many RW tutorials and probably several others, but Matthijs Hollemans’ tutorials absolutely tower over the rest. . . .Matthijs’s knowledge is profound and his presentations are flawless, but his detailed explanations are pure dev gold.” –chicago in a recent forum post
The iOS Apprentice is one of our best-selling books of all time. Over 10,000 people have begun their iOS development adventures with this book since it was released.
Here’s what’s contained inside:
Section I: Getting Started
In the first tutorial in the series, you’ll start off by building a complete game from scratch called “Bull’s Eye”.
The first app: Bull’s Eye!
Here’s what you’ll learn:
How to use Xcode, Interface Builder, and Swift 4 in an easygoing manner.
How to use standard UIKit components
How to customize them to make them look good!
By the time you’re done, you’ll have created your own iOS app from scratch, even if you’re a complete beginner!
Section II: Checklists
In the second section, you’ll create your own to-do list app. In the process, you’ll learn about the fundamental design patterns that all iOS apps use and about table views, navigation controllers and delegates. Now you’re making apps for real!
The second app you’ll build: Checklists!
Here’s what you’ll learn:
How to use Storyboards to design user interfaces
How the Model-View-Controller design pattern works in iOS
How to use table views, including the new prototype cells and static cells capability
How to create your own data model objects
What refactoring is, why you should do it, and how to do it
How to use Navigation Controllers
Using text fields and the keyboard
Sending data between view controllers using delegates
Saving your app’s data into files in the app’s Documents folder
Using NSUserDefaults to store application settings
How to use arrays and dictionaries
How to set reminders using local notifications
Most importantly, you’ll learn more than just how to program with the standard iOS components — you get to see what it takes to build a quality app. You’ll learn about all the little details that set great apps apart from mediocre ones. After all, you need to make a great app if you want it to be a success on the App Store!
Section III: MyLocations
In the third tutorial in the series, you’ll develop a location-aware app that lets you keep a list of spots that you find interesting. In the process, you’ll learn about Core Location, Core Data, Map Kit, and much more!
The third app in the book: MyLocations!
Here’s what you’ll learn:
More about the Swift 4 language
How to use the Tab Bar Controller
Using the Core Location framework to obtain GPS coordinates and do reverse geocoding
How to make your own UIView subclasses and do custom drawing
How to use Core Data to persist your objects
How to make your own table view cell objects
How to embed the Map View into your app
How to use NSNotificationCenter
How to use the camera and photo library
How to use “lazy loading” to improve the responsiveness and memory usage of your apps
How to play basic sound effects
How to make your app look more impressive with UIView-based animations and Core Animation
Of course, all of this is just an excuse to play with some of the more alluring technologies from the iOS SDK: Core Location, Map Kit, the camera and photo library, and Core Data. These are frameworks you’ll use all the time as a professional iOS developer!
Section IV: StoreSearch
Mobile apps often need to talk to web services and that’s what we’ll do in this final tutorial of the series. We’ll make a stylish app that lets you search for products on the iTunes store using HTTP requests and JSON.
The fourth and final app you’ll build: StoreSearch!
Here’s what you’ll learn:
How to use a web service from your apps and how to download images
View controller containment: how to embed one view controller inside another
Showing a completely different UI after rotating to landscape
Cool effects with keyframe animations
How to use scroll views and the paging control
Internationalization and supporting multiple languages
Changing the look of navigation bars and other UI elements
Making iPad apps with split-view controller and popovers
Using Ad Hoc distribution for beta testing
And finally, submitting your apps to the App Store!
By the time you have finished this fourth part in the series, you will have the core skills that it takes to make your own apps, and will be ready to make your own apps and submit them to the App Store!
Best of all, the book comes complete with all source code for the apps in the book. That way, you can always compare your work to the final product of the authors at ay point in your journey through the book!
About the Authors
Of course, our book would be nothing without our team of experienced and dedicated authors:
Matthijs Hollemans is a mystic who lives at the top of a mountain where he spends all of his days and nights coding up awesome apps. Actually he lives below sea level in the Netherlands and is pretty down-to-earth but he does spend too much time in Xcode. Check out his website at http://ift.tt/2xmVZxz.

On the Shojo Beat With Matt Thorn
Good news for manga scholars: Matt Thorn is in the process of rebuilding her site on shojo manga! Among her most recent posts is a fascinating look at Ribbon and Shojo, two of the most popular girls’ magazines in mid-century Japan. Thorn’s goal in revisiting these issues is to see whose work appeared alongside Osamu Tezuka’s and shine a light on forgotten but deserving artists — an important project, I think, as American readers are fixated on the idea that Tezuka “invented” modern manga with stories like New Treasure Island and Princess Knight. In a similar spirit, Thorn also posted an article celebrating the first generation of postwar shojo manga artists, the men and women whose work profoundly influenced such Magnificent 49ers as Keiko Takemiya and Moto Hagio. As with her article on Tezuka’s peers, “Before the Forty-Niners” offers a rich, nuanced look at the development of manga that challenges some well-rehearsed narratives about the medium’s history. My only question: when does the book come out?!
