Hey. Sorry about the inactivity, but pretty sure no one cared that much anyways lol.

one thing about looking for a job online is that you discover what it's like to be viscerally annoyed in a way nothing else can quite manage
i should just go live in a hole in the ground i think
#ak goes insane#fuck this shit#i just wanna be able to go to divlab and tell them to put my ass in the general labour pool so i can stop worrying#just tell me where to go please#none of these bullshit job bureaus all trying to be âniceâ and âclient orientedâ and all doing the same thing behind opaque sites#fuck all of it#be honest and transparent for fucking *once*#im fine with a moderate amount of suck but you gotta be honest about the suck otherwise it's just miserable#ill do the kleggich#but you *need* to be able to admit it's kleggich#i refuse to pretend to like it

My NU: Carnival shipping chart
I filled this out and it quickly became a goddamn mess because I want everyone to know the wolf pups in the biblical sense (and I actually made it happen btw, here's a list of fanfics pairing Garu and Karu with each core cast member)
The template is by Solar_糯æšéł, you can find it here!
(HE IS CRYING FOR HELP but pay him no mind...)
#nu carnival#nu carnival fanfic#nu carnival karu#nu carnival shipping#I'm sorry Edmond and Olivine I do appreciate your roles in the story#No I don't ship quinya!#I probably forgot something#Tbh you can pretend there's a transparent âI'm listeningâ line between Blade Karu Garu and everyone else!

Reading about fucking conservative freaks using "judeo-christian values" to justify their bigoted policies towards queer kids in the education system
#also im so gd sick of righty xtian types pretending they give a fuck about jews#when what they really want is an excuse to shit all over muslims#it so goddamn transparent its so fucking transparent#âjudeochristianâ as a term is absolutely foul and just seeks to marginalize muslims#frankly if u wanna talk broad religious similarities you may as well say âAbrahamicâ#but if course the whole point of âjudeo-christianâ is to pry us away from our muslim siblings#if u see someone use the phrase âjudeo christianâ theyre not necessarily an asshole but its a red fucking flag#when you see a fundie christian talking âjudeo christianâ values theyre using us as a smokescreen#they dont mean you or i#the only jews theyll tolerate is the likes of alan dershowitz or bem shapiro#and even then their contempt for those allies is very very thinly veiled at least where im standing#sorry im ranty today sorry#dont let ppl rhetorically frame american religious culture as a âjudeochristianâ coalition against muslims and secularists#its patented bullshit its counterproductive it harms jews and it harms our brothers dont forget#allying us rhetorically with hegemonic xtian values harms us and it harms our brothers and its not fucking true fuck you fuck you fuck you#i see this rhetoric increasing in usage because of gaza#because conservative distaste for jews is trumped by conservative affinity for fascists i suppose#and distaste for Muslims or at least those they can reasonably classify as broadly muslim regardless of actual demographics#this hand extended in friendship is fake its a fucking lie#they want us to turn our backs on our brothers dont fucking do it!!!!!!

sincd it's still just about seasonally appropriate, here are some notes from a bosselot fic that i started planning before valentines day...(and which i might take months to actually finish, if at all)..... it's bb's pov, patriots era like 1970 or whatever :
#if you ignore the horrible lack of punctuation etc and imagine that stuff actually is happening in between these random snippets then#you can pretend it is a proper fic . maybe#bosselot#work in progress wsunday. being hashtag transparent and hashtag real by showing unedited nonsense#but i think its good to post snippets on here...u can microdose on a jumbled bit of character analysis without having to actually read fic.

drafted a long post about how transparent it is that y'all dislike f/m shipping bc you hate women but im not dealing with how people will react to that so im not gonna bother
#bell.txt#misogyny in fandom#its just so transparent that yall think its about straight people when its not#first of all. cishet women still experience misogyny you fucking idiots#second of all its still transparent that you just dont care about female characters#esp when your oh-so-progressive solution is to pretend to care about femslash ships so you can shift female characters off to the side#and make sure they dont interact with your special little guys#and third of all BISEXUAL PEOPLE EXIST YOU FUCKING CRETINS#fuck!!#shipping a man and a woman is not inherently straight get your biphobic heads out of your asses

Every single time I see a take that amounts to "if you write about X happening, or like fiction where X happens, you like X" I'm reminded of this one time I was at a casual friends house as a young kid. We were in her room, pretending to "be orphans" escaping from an evil orphanage and having to take care of each other and fend for ourselves. It was all very Little Orphan Annie/All Dogs Go to Heaven and based on the 80s pop media.
And this girl's mom comes in, hears what we're playing and gets all MAD and UPSET. She says that if we play act something, it's because we want it to happen. So her daughter must WANT HER TO DIE.
First off lady, we were 6 year year olds, so take it down several notches. We barely had a concept of mortality for fucks sake. She made us feel so guilty and ashamed, because she was taking our game personally.
Now I have a 5 year old. And sometimes she looks at me and says "pretend you're dead, and I have to -" Whatever it is. Some adult task she's assigned herself.
And it's just so transparently obvious that she's practicing the idea of having to do things on her own. Which is exactly what 5 year olds are supposed to do. I actually find it very flattering that the only way she can envision me not being available to help her is to be literally deceased. Otherwise, obviously, she wouldn't have to do scary hard things alone.
It's a natural coping mechanism. She's self-soothing about what would happen if I wasn't there by play-acting independence in a perfectly safe environment. She's also practicing skills she needs, and making up excuses for practicing them on her own, without taking on the responsibility of being able to do them by herself all the time yet.
Humans mentally rehearse bad this in their brains all the time. We can do that by ruminating- going over worries over and over again, which tends to lead to anxiety and helplessness and depression. Or we can do it with a sense of play- by recognizing that the fiction is fiction and we can dip our toe into these experiences and expose ourselves to bad things without actually being injured.
My daughter does not want me dead. And I don't want bad things to happen in real life. But fiction and pretend help me face the horrors of the world and think about them without collapsing or messing myself up mentally.

If I see any more misinformation about Kamala Harris to dissuade people from voting I will explode.
1. She did a lot of work as a prosecutor to dismantle the system. When she was DA in San Francisco she was labeled as being âsoft on crimeâ which she in turn claimed was âsmart on crimeâ. Harris made a program called Back on Track so that low-level nonviolent drug offenders could enroll in school rather than doing jail time. She has believe and continues to believe that supporting people prevents crime far better than criminalizing people.
Yes, she put people behind bars. I know she called herself the âTop Copâ and I fucking hate that. However, the number of people who served time in jail was significantly reduced due to her program. Sheâs not a saint, but she tried to reduce harm as much as she could in her position. Since then, sheâs called for even more action in terms of legalizing marijuana and I believe recently fully endorsed it publicly.
2. She is not transphobic. Harris backed the state of California when it tried to deny gender-affirmation surgery to a trans prisoner, but as attorney general, she could not deny the stateâs Department of Corrections as a client of hers. Essentially, she had no say in the denial of surgery herself, as she had to represent the departmentâs interests over her own. Once she realized what they were doing, Harris actually worked behind the scenes to get that very policy changed so that any inmate who needs that care could get it. Additionally, she has lead efforts to put an end to gay and transgender âpanicâ defenses in criminal trials.
3. Kamala Harris is Black. For some reason, people like to say that she isnât, and that sheâs Indian and pretending to be black⊠for what reason? Depends on whoâs telling the lie to begin with. Kamala Harris is Black and South Asian. Her father, Donald Harris, is a Black man who was born in Jamaica. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was born in India. Speculating about her race with so much evidence towards the contrary is so wrong. If anyone tells you shit about this, just send them her whitehouse.gov biography.
4. Harris (reportedly) has different opinions than Biden on Palestine. Whether or not she makes a clear stance against Israel, I donât know. That hasnât happened yet, but Iâll remain hopeful until further notice. She reportedly tried to push Biden towards âa policy on Gaza that was both more humane and in alignment with international lawâ but wasnât listened to. The only reason why this is one of my points is that Iâve seen a lot of people stating that she is totally behind every decision and stance Biden made as president, which isnât necessarily true. I donât want to give her credit for being pro-Palestine if she isnât, just to be clear. That is not what Iâm trying to do here.
I desperately want her to stand for a free Palestine. I cannot make the promise that this will happen. All I can hope for is that her policy will be less harmful than Trumpâs- who wants Israel to âfinish the jobâ and promises to âthrow (pro-Palestinian protestors) out of the countryâ.
Conclusion: the fact of the matter is that people make shit up all of the time. Sometimes itâs propaganda they accidentally absorb, sometimes itâs deliberate misinformation. People often take rumors as facts, and we need to be more vigilant about it. What I know is that some people will do anything for you to not vote tor Kamala Harris, when in reality sheâs our only hope here.
Is Harris my favorite person ever? Absolutely not. Does she share my exact views and opinions? Nope. Would I rather vote for someone who more aligns with my personal views? Yes.
Is voting for Harris the only way to stop Donald Trump and Project 2025? Yes.
Disclaimer for the blog: To be 100% transparent, this is only my (Fanyaâs) opinions. Although this is a shared blog, I cannot claim that my stance and my voice speaks for everybody involved in this blog. Some members are not American. Some may have different takes. All I know is that all of us are anti-Trump. Donât go after my friends if you have beef with what Iâm saying. Iâm trying my best here.

SLYTHERINSLUT0âS KINKTOBER
october 28th. theodore nott. lorenzo berkshire â humiliation / degradation
KINKTOBER MASTERLIST. | 2024.
summary: never let enzo berkshire find out about one of your kinks. unlessâŠ.
warnings: 18+, SMUT MDNI, halloween ghostface costumes, threesome, fwb!theo, bestfriend!enzo, reader is involved in a bet unbeknownst to her, mask kink, humiliation on high, degradation, fingering, denied orgasm, oral m!rec, PIV, dirty talk, manipulation.
"Black cat mask?"
You shake your head, barely sparing the thing a glance.
"Mm, no. Too unoriginal."
"Right," Enzo sucks his teeth, tossing the mask back into the bin you're both half-heartedly rifling through. "Orange cat, then? That's far more fitting for you anyways."
"Enzoâno cats, please," you mutter, running a hand through your hair, staring down at the disheveled heap of plastic. None of it catches your eye, none of it sparks anything. "It's Halloween. I want something...scarier."
"Of course. Only day of the year you get to pretend you're as terrifying as me." He croonsâhalf-laughing through the words. The tease itches in your mind, and you're halfway to some retort when he's already holding up another mask. "How about this one?"
You glance up, ready to dismiss whatever nonsense he's holding this time, but the sight of it stills the air in your lungs. A Ghostface mask. Stark white, hollow eyes staring back at youâit's grimace cast in a faded glow under tired shop lights. It's nothingâjust a mask, just a piece of cheap plastic in Enzoâs handâbut your heart skips, stumbles, clutches at your ribs, and you can't look away.
And there's no goddamn reason for it, no logicâbut you're already seeing it, aren't you? Your current fwbâTheo, standing over you; his face hidden, mask in place of those half-lidded eyes that youâve learned to read so well. And you knowâyou know the thought is fucking absurdâyet, it knots something in your stomach, spreading heat like a fuse just lit.
"You alright there?" Enzo's teasing pulls you out of your thoughts, and you realize he'd been staring at you that entire time. "You're looking a little...hot."
Hot. Right. Of course he'd noticeâof course your best friend would notice the way you went still, frozen in place as if someone struck you with Glacius. You're no good at lying to him, not even on a good dayâand right now, your mind is in shambles, already too far gone into the fantasy andâ
No. No more of this.
You tear away, fumbling for the edge of a cloak that suddenly seems like the most fascinating thing you've ever seen, your fingers tracing the fabric as if it can save you.
"It's...fineâit's nice," you blurt out, too quickly, too forced, the words tumbling over themselves. "Justâno, not really my thing."
But Enzo knows better. He can spot your lies from miles away. You hear him shift, the quiet rustle of the mask in his handsâand then, he's pulling it over his face, tilting his head just to spite you.
You don't have to look to know he's smirking behind it.
"Bullshit." He steps closer, casually closing the distance, but you know it's deliberate. "You're into this, aren't you?"
The warmth on your face feels like fire now, prickling heat across your skin. He shifts closer again, and for a moment you consider jinxing himâmind scattering into dark, unbidden placesâfilthy, wild things, flashing behind your eyes, too real. Enzo tilts his head the other way now, letting the mask catch the light, letting it grin.
"Should I get it?" He asks, as innocent as a serial killer. "For Nott, of course."
"No."
It scrapes out of your throat, barely audible, far too small to hold truth. Youâre sure he can read you right nowâall your depraved thoughts in the rasp of your voice, painfully transparent.
Thereâs a huff, a snort of sorts. "Are you sure? I think he'd love it."
Despite his insufferableness, heâs probably right. Theo has never shied away from indulging your kinks before. Thatâs what no strings is about. Maybe he would love it, you know you certainly wouldâgods how youâd love itâeven if youâd rather die before admitting it.
The cloakâyou focus on the deep purple velvet, the dark lace edging. "I'm sure. Put it back."
"You don't sound so sure." Gods, he's such an assholeâpoint only proved further as he takes another step closer. "Does this...does this turn you on?"
"EnzoâFor Godric's sake, stop." The humiliation is suffocating. This is just a glimpse at your future should you ever decide to disclose this information to him. Relentless and bloody insufferable. "Let's justâpick something and go. Please?"
A pause, then, and you don't dare look up. The mask slips from his face with another soft, satisfied humâyou don't need to see him to feel the damage done. He knows.
"Sure, angel," he says, trailing as he turns. "Whatever you want."
ââââ
"Mattâhave you seen Theo?"
"Uhânot since earlier." Mattheo replies without even looking up, his focus on pouring another dangerous looking drink rather than on you. "He's probably just out for a smoke."
Yeah. Right. Forsureâbecause his smoke breaks last all bloody day. Doubt twists your stomach, but you nod anyway, grabbing your own drinkâsomething bubbling, far too bright a green to be safe, but it burns down easy all the same. The room spins in a foggy haze, lights bleeding together over costumes, wizard and Muggle and something in betweenâand you struggle to tell who's who.
Theo had refused to tell you what he was dressing up asâclaimed he wanted it to be a surprise. Now, that surprise is nowhere to be found.
"What are you supposed to be?" You raise a brow at Mattheo's striped inmate costume. âYour future?"
Riddle's eye flash as he pretends to be offended for about two seconds until his gaze drops to your own costume and his tongue darts over his lips, taking it in. Beer-maid, tight bodice, shorter than preferred. It's not what you were going for, not in the slightest, but it's all Pansy had in her closet to save you after you and Enzo failed to find anything interesting at the shop the other day.
"Maybe. But you definitely aren't dressed as yours." His attention shifts back to the crowd, a failed attempt at hiding his grin. "Way too much fabric."
You scoff, but that's just how Mattheo isâalways a sly comment, always pushing. You roll your eyes and swat at him, but he sticks his tongue out at you and steps back, slipping off into the crowd with a final goodbye winkâand just as you lose track of him, Draco saddles up next to you, prattling on about something you don't care to listen to.
Great, thatâs two annoying Slytherins accounted for. Where the fuck is Theo?
Five seconds into pretending to be interested in whatever Malfoy is babbling on about, you give up, turning back to the drink table and skimming over the options when someone new brushes up behind youâ
"Enzo told me," the words barely register before you feel itâa hand settling low at your hip. "About your kink."
With lightening speed you twist your neck, glancing over your shoulderâonly to fucking gasp at what you find there. That mask. The mask. The Ghostface one from the shop; the one Enzo hasn't let you forget, hasn't stopped teasing you aboutâyou blink, your heart barrelling out of the room, fingers tightening around your cup until it hurtsâ
The mask tilts, just slightly. "Looks like he was right."
"Theoâ"
"Go." His voice is muffled, but sweet Merlinâthe sound of it makes your knees threaten to buckle right then and there. His hand slips lower, teasing against the ruffles of your dress. "Run, Bella. Let's play."
Your body locks up, muscles tense and poised on the edge of something feral. You can't look away. Can't think. Can't breathe. His fingers slip lower, lower, until you feel itâcold leather against the heat of your skin and your throat tightens, words dying dead on your tongue.
Run.
A slight lean, and the mask brushes your neck. "Now."
He steps back, a slow retreat, but it feels like he's tugging you with him. You spin to face him, smirking, your voice barely above a whisperâ
"And when you catch me?"
"Find out." His head tilts toward the door. It's your cue.
Your feet move before your mind even catches up, slipping through the rowdy crowd, darting through the half-drunk revelers in their costumesâeverything blurring into an afterthought as you push past the cobwebs, pumpkins, fake spiders, all the other Halloween decor filling the fogged ballroom. Your fingertips buzz from the adrenalineâpulse echoing in your ears as you dart down one hall after another, not quite sure where you're going, but knowing you need to keep moving.
Theo told you to runâso you run.
You sprint through the castle, the corridors empty save for your hurried footsteps and the scattered Halloween decorations lunging at you from the shadows. You round a corner, making for the dungeons. It's as good a place as any, right? Dark, quiet, somewhere to hide.
Few more minutes and you make it, lungs burning as you stumble into the dreary main hall. You realize the detention room is emptyâand it's perfect. You take two steps inside, already thinking you'll be able to catch your breath whenâ
You slam headlong into something solid.
Head swirling, your vision barely refocuses before you feel a grip on your wrists, pulling you forward with enough force to make you gasp. Everything happens so fast you don't have enough time to process what's occurring before you're forced to focus on the thing you're seeingâghostface. Staring down at you with those empty, gaping eyes. Unreadable.
It's then that you realize you're caught.
Something shifts behind the mask, an almost imperceptible movement of his head. You'd almost think you imagined it but given that there's nothing else to look at you know it's impossible. The silence is ballooning and you wonder if this is part of the game, if Theo is just savouring the moment, relishing in your reaction. The way you're trembling, your breath stuttering, the way you've gone stillâwaiting.
You swallow, throat drier than the Sahara, but something about this has you emboldened, the fact he's playing into your fantasy like thisâso you decide to tease him, breaking the silence with a soft, breathless laugh as you pull one of your hands free from his grip.
He wanted to play. It's your turn to act the part.
"Looks like you caught me...Mr. Ghostface..." you purrâthe silence sticks heavy, making the space between you feel thick, electric. All you can feel are his eyes devouring you. "And now...now that you've caught me...what are you gonna' do with me...hm?"
Godsâthe thrill of this is so real, one your certain is more addictive than any drug. An adrenaline rushânot knowing what he's thinking, what he's about to do. Not being able to read him like you normally could. It makes your thighs quakeâand thereâs half a second where you wonder how much Enzo would pay to see this, how much heâd fucking taunt you for it.
But just as quickly as it came, you shake that thoughtâfocused on Theo, you pull your bottom lip between your teeth and sink to your knees, fingertips teasing from his chest to his abdomen, tilting your head to look up at him through your lashes.
"...please don't punish me." You giggleâand the debauched absurdity of it all makes you nearly choke. "I'll be so goodâI'll do anything, Theoâ"
You feel him huff, tense, and when your fingers graze the front of his pantsâjust barely touching his crotchâ his hand snaps down like a vice, gripping your wrist, stopping you dead in your tracks.
And then, you hear it. "Salazar sakesâshitâ"
Your heart plummets. That voiceâit's like being thrown into ice-cold water. No, that's notâit can't beâ
"Enzo?"
Your voice cracks as you all but screech, your head whipping up so fast you feel dizzy. No, no, noâ
Enzo, who you previously thought was Theo, pulls the mask off and all but verbally confirms it. Your nightmare born to life. Spooling to fruition right in front of you. He smiles, lips curled into something thoroughly entertained, and gods, how his eyes glint with pure assholeryâyou could fucking kill him.
"Enzoâ" you stammer, horror flushing through you, burning through the mortification lodged in your throat. "Godsâwhat the fuckâ"
"Surprise," he breathes, like this is the most casual thing in the world to him.
You scramble back, knees scraping against cold stoneâmind spiralling in every direction at onceâshame collides with shock and it all burns under your skin, the kind of heat that never settles. You know Theo's voice. You could never mistake it. You know for a fact that was him back at the partyâ but this, this makes no sense.
"What...what the hell-" your voice stumbles like you're trying to outrun the words. "Why would youâwhat were youâ"
"Relax," he is all too fucking calm. "It was a prank."
"A prank?" You're still on the floor, and for some reason that makes everything worse. "You call that a prank? Aâa funny little joke?"
"That's usually the definitionâ"
"No." You hiss between clenched teeth, anger strangling any hope for composure. "What were you doing in here? Thisâ this isn'tâyou were trying to-"
"Trying to what?" He sounds so goddamn innocent but you know better. He's toying with you, making sure you know it. He's been your best friend since you were kids but you never said it was by choice. He steps closer. "I was trying to what, angel?"
Your blood boils, the heat spreading fastâpooling low in your core against all specks of your sanity. He's relishing this, drinking in your mortification like it's fine wineâand for some reason, it makes you weak.
"Youâ" words die with another one of his steps, the toes of his shoes brushing against your skin as he crouches down in front of you, elbows resting casually on his knees. You sit back, ass meeting cold stone. "Enzoâ"
"Yeah?" He cocks an eyebrow. "You just gonna' parrot my name all night? Maybe you're too embarrassed to speak?"
The constant mocking feels like ice and you want to slap that smug look right off his face but instead your fucking thighs tense. You have nothing to sayâcan only stare at him, lungs seizing further as you notice the smirk fading from his lips, something darker replacing itâ
"You didn't even know who was under that mask, and you were ready to suck me off," he's whispering, but he may as well be screaming. "You'd do anything for anyone with a mask, huh? I wish I knew about this kink of yours sooner."
He leans in closer, his knees pushing yours apartâyou and Enzo had never been strangers to toying the line of friendship one too many times while drunk, but thisâ
You blink. Staring at him. "You...you're enjoying this way too much."
"Guilty as charged." His smile spreads wider, cockier, his eyes dipping to your lips, then lower. You shiver involuntarily. "I know I should have stopped you sooner, but seeing you on your knees...in front of me...I just..."
He shakes his head before he slowly stands back upâand his eyes flicker to your chest, lingering on your fucking tits and not even trying to be subtle about it.
Then, thereâs a soundâthe sound of the door creaking open.
You barely hear it, the faint shuffle of footsteps, but it's enough to pull the grin from Enzo's face as he looks up. You're not sure your heart can handle anymore of thisâplummeting to the stone beneath you as Theo steps into the room, dressed just like Enzoâblack robes, black gloves, Ghostface mask.
"Nott." Enzo's voice is too casual, too easy. "Great timing, mate."
Theoâs silent as he takes in the scene. Youâstill on the floor, dress hitched up, legs spread. Enzo standing over you, smug, unbothered. Theo's presence fills the room as he shuts the door behind him and locks it, stoking your humiliation into something even hotter, something impossible to escape.
Theo's voice is flat, his tone too even. "Looks like you got caught."
Waitâ
"Youâ" your gaze jumps between them, a wild panic bubbling up inside you. You're so fucking confused. "What is this? You twoâ"
"Like I said, a prank." Enzo says as he steps toward Theo, clapping a hand on his shoulder. "A bet, really.â
Theo doesn't respond. He doesn't move. He doesn't look away from you.
"A bet?" You choke out, trying to piece everything together. "What bet?"
"Well, you see, angel," Enzo pushes away from Theo and slumps down into a chair just off to the side of you. You feel the dread rolling in like a storm. "I bet big Theo here you'd get so weak in the knees over the mask, you wouldn't even notice the switch. As usual, I was right."
Andddd, thereâs the dread. Yup. As expected whenever Enzo is fucking involved in anything.
"Oh, wowâ" you'd laugh if you weren't this utterly mortified by the entire situation. "You guys areâgods. Youâre going after a whole new high score in the prick olympics, aren't youâ"
"Oh, I don't know if you believe that, topolina...I think you're just being shy." Theo cuts through your rambling and you flinch at the sound of his voice. "It's clear this is a fantasy of yours."
Your head tilts up, eyes widening as they meet the empty, hollow eyes of the mask drawing closer.
"I bet you're just embarrassed," Theo's pressingâhe's fucking pressing and you donât think youâve breathed since he walked in. "Embarrassed that you got on your knees for your best friend...or maybe you're afraid I'd be mad." He pauses, and his gaze sweeps down over you. "Which, to that I'd have to say, I'm far from."
You swallow hard, your mouth dry. "You're...you're not mad?"
Perhaps you were afraid of thatâeven if you and Theo are unofficial in every aspect.
His answer is instant. "No."
He crouches in front of you, gloved fingers finding your chin, tipping your head up so he can look at youâ really look at you.
"In fact...I think you should let him watch..." his thumb ghosts over your lower lip, so soft, so slowâwithout thinking, your tongue flicks out, barely grazing the leather covered tip, and you hear the soft exhale he releases in response. "After all, this was his idea. He deserves some fun too, don't you think?"
Heat floods your cunt, your stomach tightening at the suggestion. You glance at Enzo, sitting back now with his mask onâlegs spread wide, leather hands clasped, calmâyou wanted to kill him five minutes ago, but nowâ
Oh godsâyou're really losing it.
"Yeah," you whisper, barely managing the word. "He probably does."
Theo's hand slides down to your thigh, leather fingers curling into the soft skin, pulling your legs open further.
"Mhm." He mutters. "You like being watched, don't you?"
Your breath catches, your pulse thundering in your ears as you nod, your eyes glued to Enzo. "Yes..."
"Say it." His fingers trail higher, teasing the soft skin beneath your dress, fingertips grazing closerâtoo closeâjust below the lace hem of your panties.
Salazar save you.
You bite your lip, and the air between you feels like it's thickening, growing too dense to breathe in. That fucking mask. You've fantasized over it. And now, there's two of them. Two sets of eyesâfaceless, emotionless, and watching you. It's like something out of your fucking dreams.
"IâI like being watched," you manage to whisper, voice breaking between building lust.
"Louder," Theo growls this time like he's pulling it from somewhere deep in his chestâit sends liquid heat spilling through you. "Louder, topolina. He can't hear you if you're whispering."
Your heart stutters in your chest, and Enzoâgods, Enzo is still watchingâstays silent, the mask concealing whatever reaction he might have, but his posture speaks volumes. Stillness, dark fabric of his trousers tight across his thighs, a coiled tension that radiates off him, permeates the space between you.
"Iâfuckâ" a breathless moan cracks through your words as Theo's leather-clad fingers slip under your panties, grazing your slick slit. "âlove it. I love being watched."
Theo hums, the sound vibrating low in his throat, and rewards you by pushing two fingers into your dripping heat. So slow, the pace of his strokes torturousâslick sounds of leather working you open filling the room, mingling with your quiet, shuddering breaths. His thumb brushes your clit, teasing over it until you moanâhard and shamelessâ
"So loud," Theo mocks, your spine arching into him as his fingers curl inside you. "Eager, filthy little thing. You love being on display, don't you?"
A whimper catches in your throat, your gaze still locked on Enzo, watching him watch you.
You're shaking. You're close. Too close.
Your voice cracks again, nothing more than a whisper caught in a moan. "Theo...fuckâ"
"You're so wet, bellissima," Theo breathes behind the mask. You're burning, every nerve sizzling. "You want to cum, don't you?"
You can't speak. Words don't exist anymore, only the pressureâonly the way Theo's fingers curl inside you, the way your thighs tremble and ache from holding yourself open, from being watched, from being this goddamn humiliated.
"Y-yes," you choke out, desperate. "Yes, please, Iâ"
"Ask him." Theo's cuts you off. "Ask Enzo to let you cum."
The room spins. The air thickens into something cloying.
Ask him. Ask Enzoâ
You swallow hard, your eyes darting between the two masks. Enzo is silent, still motionless, but he tilts his head slightly, the only indication that he's heard. That he's waiting.
"Please, Enzoâ" the humiliation is sickening but you force past it. Itâs a broken prayer, vulnerability in verbal form. "Please...let me cumâpleaseâ"
Time stretches. It feels like hours, an eternity where nothing exists but the weight of their hidden eyes on you, the way Enzo's fingers twitch, curl over the thick ridge at his crotch, leather knuckles tensing as if he's restraining himself from something primal. You're being devoured whole by this momentâby the unbearable tension, by Theo's fingers inside you, relentless in their assault, and godsâyou're going to die if they don't let youâ
"Yeah," Enzo finally murmurs, breaking the silence. Theo's gaze flickers to him, waiting. "Yeah, you can cum, angelâŠâ
But as he says it, he shakes his head, and Theoâthe absolute bastardâpulls his fingers out without a word.
"âŠjust not yet." Enzo finishes.
The sound that leaves your throat isn't even human, some guttural, helpless whine torn straight from your throbbing, empty cunt. Theo shushes you.
"You'll get to cum, Bella," he coos, standing up slowly. "It'll be soon."
They're toying with you, playing you like a goddamn puppet on strings and it's infuriating in its deliciousness. You've known these men for years, yet it's almost laughableâthe way they feel so foreign, so terrifyingly new.
"Oh, Enzo," you sigh, feeling your arousal cool, your body suddenly aware of the icy stone beneath you, of the wet heat slicking down your thighs. "I'm going to kill you tomorrow."
Enzo snorts. "You're welcome to try."
Theo exhales a half-chuckle, helping you off the floor and onto a desk, his hands firm on your thighs as he spreads you open like he's done a hundred times within the last few months.
A moment passes before he moves to loosen his belt and you realize just how close Enzo is nowâhis chair right beside the desk, his hand palming the bulge in his pants, shameless in his observation. The sight makes you fucking dizzy with filth. Surely, you've lost your mind. This is madness. Every line between friendship and lustâbetween restraint and indulgenceâhas blurred and bled into something you can't define, and the thrill of it is intoxicating.
"This is insane," you hiss, breathless, feeling the way Theo's gloves scrape over your skin, two thick digits dragging in your slick. "You're both fucking insane."
"Too much talking," Theo mutters, so infuriatingly calm, even as he drags the head of his dick over your folds, teasing your clit. "So much attitude for someone dripping down their thighs. You want to stop?" The silence stretches, your eyes locked on his, and you can feel the smirk behind the mask. He nods. "That's what I thought. Now shut up and let me fuck this wet cunt."
His hands grip either side of the desk, his body looming over youâthe scene from your fantasy you've envisioned a million times. Ghostfaceâdominant and roughâgods, you want it. So bad it fucking hurts.
Your head lolls to the side, eyes immediately finding Enzo's againâforgetting for half a second that he was even there. His jeans are unbuttoned now, his hand moving rhythmically beneath the denim, mask locked onto you with a single-minded focus that makes your breath stutter.
"Enz-ohhhâ" you go to say something to him, but then Theo pushes into youâno warning, no slow buildâjust a deep, unforgiving thrust that knocks the breath from your lungs, and your voice cracks on his name, the syllables lost in the moan that spills out of you.
"Shit." Enzo groans in response. "Did you justâ"
"She did," Theo snarls, his grip on your hips punishing as he slams into you again, harder this time. "The little slut just moaned your name."
There's cursing, from both of them, but it's all a blur in your ears, drowned out by the sound of Theo's hips slamming into yours, the fevered slap of skin on skin, the obscene sounds you can't help but makeâ
"Yeah, I noticed," Enzo mutters, and fuck, he sounds ruined, completely lost in the sight of youâhis best friend, getting fucked by his other best friend. "Fuck."
Theo's hand finds your jaw, forcing your head back to face him, Ghostface mask looming above you like a delicious nightmare.
"Who's fucking you?" His voice is caught somewhere between a snarl and a purr. "Is it Enzo?"
"N-noâ" you manage, trembling with every thrust.
"Of course it's not," Theo hisses, driving into you with punctual thrusts to make you feel him, making you cry out when he slams your cervix. "So why'd you moan his name? When it'sâfuckâmy cock inside you?"
"IâI didn't meanâ" you whimper, eyes squeezed shut, but there's no escape. Not from the relentless pace of Theo's dick, not from the way Enzo's eyes never leave you, burning into you like fire. You can't form words.
"Mmâdon't be shy now, topolina," Theo purrs, his voice thick with effort. His hips snap forward, and your back arches, a broken sound escaping you. "I think you just love having him in your mouthâhis name, hisâ"
"Fuck, Nott, shut up," Enzo cuts in, his head thrown back, chest tense. "I don't want to hear your voiceâ"
You can hear the strain, the way he's barely holding it togetherâ
"Look at him," Theo ignores Enzo's words. He lets go of your jaw. "He wants you. He's always wanted you."
Your eyes dart between them, head spinning, unable to form a coherent thoughtâTheo's fucking relentless, pushing you closer and closer to the edgeâand every time you glance at Enzo, you see the way he's breaking, hand moving faster, chest rising and falling with ragged breathsâ
"I never knew you were such a voyeur, Nott," Enzo spits, trying to sound casual. "Never took you for being such a filthy bastard."
"What can I say?" Theo groans in response, propping your legs up over his shoulders to drive into you deeper. "Just discovered a new interest, you should try it sometime."
They're still bantering, like this is some kind of fucked-up competition, like you're not about to shatter into a million fucking pieces while your best friend watchesâafter he got you here and humiliated you with a fucking betâgods, you'd laugh if you weren't so utterly lost to the pleasure ripping through you.
"And watch you get off on it?" Enzo spits back, voice rough. "I'llâ"
Theo snorts, cutting him off. "I think there's more than one person getting off onâ"
"Shut the-fffuck upâplease-" you manage to moan, the words barely intelligible. You look to Enzo, eyes wide and pleading. "Enz...come here."
"Yeah...?" Enzo breathes out, his voice catching, tipping his head back forward to look at you. âWhat?â
"Come here," you moan again, trembling, fraying under the pleasure that's building inside you from Theoâs insistent dick. "Let me help you."
For a moment, he hesitates, and you canât tell what heâs thinking because the goddamn mask hides everything. He's always been the calm one between youâalways stopping your drunk kisses, always refraining from taking things too far. But tonight, thereâs no more of that calm left in himâ
He stands.
Each step he takes feels like a lifetime, but when he's standing next to your head on the desk, towering above where you're laid out like a feast, you don't know whether it's the mask or the situation itself that has your pulse racing. Erotic and terrifying, the not-knowingâa power exchange in its purest form. Theo growls infront of you, his thrusts growing harder, more vicious, as you reach out to pull Enzo's hips closer.
You're already eyeing the throbbing bulge in his jeans, your mouth practically watering as you stare.
"Go on," you rasp, lips parting as you look up through your lashes. "Take it out."
The breath Enzo sucks in is sharp, a hitch in the darkness. His fingers tremble, just barely, as he pushes his pants down his thighs, and the noise that escapes him when his cock slips out and smacks his stomachâlow, strangledâmakes you moan and clench in responseâhe's huge.
Your breath catches, a soft exhale of, "oh, fuck."
And the words are barely out of your mouth before both Theo and Enzo respondâlow growls and breathless groans that echo in the shadowed room, vibrating through you like electricity.
"Open your pretty mouth," Enzo whispers and you obey without hesitation, tongue slipping out, wanting, eager. His breath shudders, and you wish you could see his eyes. "Good girl."
And then he's pushing into you, sliding hot and thick over your tongue, and at that exact moment, Theo thrusts harder, deeper, and suddenly you're overwhelmedâboth of them inside you, filling you, consuming every breath. Moans ripple through the dungeon air, a chorus of sin, and you shake with the sheer intensity of it all.
Theo's thumb finds your clit, starts swirling over it, and you keenâeyes rolling back in your head, Enzoâs leather hands in your hair to hold you still. Tears stream down your face as you gag, spit pooling at the corners of your mouth, but neither of them stopâif anything, they're both lost in it, in the wrecked, messy beauty of it all. Your hands claw at the desk, desperate for something to hold on to as the pleasure builds, tightens, spirals out of control.
Time collapses. It's been momentsâit's been hours.
And then it happensâall three of you tipping over the edge at once, crashing into a release so fierce it shatters you. Your climax rips through you, violent, leaving you shaking, milking Theo until he's spentâuntil he's pouring his cum deep inside your cunt at the same time Enzo groans deep and spills his own over your tongue. A moment passes, and then Theo is the first to pull away, panting, tearing off his mask and dropping into the chair beside the desk, and Enzo follows, tugging his jeans back up before slumping into another chair, mask still onâ
Both of them are sprawled there, utterly spent, just as wrecked as you.
And then, after a few long, tense moments, you hear itâthe clink of Galleons exchanged. You don't even need to look up for it to register. Theo tosses the coins into Enzoâs greedy palm because he was the true fucking winner here. The sound cuts through the stillness, and with it, that smug, unmistakable sneer in Enzo's voice.
"Told you she'd love it."
Asshole.
You roll your eyes. Your limbs feel like they're moving through molasses as you stand, your hands mechanically fixing your costume, adjusting the fabric against your thighs.
"You know, Enzo, if you wanted to watch Theo fuck me that bad, all you had to do was ask."
"What can I say," he shrugs, lazy, like he's discussing the weather. "I enjoy a bit of gambling."
Theo snorts, adjusting his collar, as if none of this fazes him. His eyes flick from you to Enzo. "Next time you'll be paying me."
"Next time?" You cock an eyebrow. "How generous of you."
"There will be a next time," Enzo says, flipping one of the Galleons between his fingers, that same smirk playing on his lips. "And I'll get my turn."
Your pulse quickens at the sheer arrogance of it, the way he says it like it's not even up for debate. You hate how much you like this side of him.
"Maybe next time you should."
They nod, both of them wearing their smirks like crowns. "Until next time, then."

If youâre still taking requests, Iâve been thinking about reader & wade introducing logan to sex toys - maybe how to use a vibrator on reader or what a fleshlight isâŠ? đđ
ooh anon! I kept thinking about this, it was so fun (I imagine Wade is like - super pro toy-usage, while Logan is like, reluctant but will indulge if encouraged) I hope this fits the vibe youâre looking for! đ thanks for sending this in!
boys and their toys | logan howlett x f!reader x wade wilson
750 words | poly relationship, piv, edging, overstim, toys (vibrator, fleshlight, references to dildos and monsterfucking)
â-and this,â Wade wiggles the device between his fingers, âIs a what we call a vibrator. Well, Womanizer, baby, if you want to be specific-â
âI know what one is, Wade.â Logan scowls, âI just donât fucking need one.â
âBoy, donât try to front!â He gasps, âOf course we donât need one. Theyâre just for fun. You know what that is, right?â
âDonât make fun of him, babe.â You admonish, shifting your hips. Inching Wade deeper, from where heâs buried into you.
âIâll try something else,â He sighs, grabbing another toy from the box - the silicone dildo wobbling as he holds it aloft, âDo you think I need this? No. But does it help me fulfill my fantasy of being a virgin sacrifice for the big bad werewolf, and Iâm so fucking good that he keeps me as his bride instead of killing me?â
âWerewolves arenât real,â Loganâs face pinches, lip curling over teeth, âAnd you canât die.â
âYou hear that? Heâs kink-shaming me.â Wade groans as he slumps - the movement causing another shift of his hips, pleasure sparking through you.
âH-He doesnât get it. Show him,â You coo, âOr Iâm going to kill you, if you keep teasing me like this.â
He grins.
Youâve been keeping his cock warm for the last ten minutes, as he took you both on a little trip through his toy chest.
The device buzzing in his hand, as he thumbs the button. Anticipation curling in your stomach, as his hips begin to move.
âOkay, the great thing about this one,â Wade hums, âIs that I can keep our girl nice and full-â
His hips press flush, making you gasp.
â-while letting this little lady do all the work. Keeps her coming, pun intended.â
The toy touches down against your clit, and you gasp with need. The subtle rock of his hips, as he adjusts the pressure to what you like.
It has you whining immediately. Muscles clenching as you chase the suction, eyes already going wide and hazy with bliss.
His free hand palming at your tits. Dipping to grasp at your hip - using the leverage to start a lazy rhythm.
No more than a few minutes passing before your back is bowing. A loud cry as the sensations ripple through you, Wades grunting as you clamp down around him. Feeling how you pulse around his cock, an echo of the toy he still holds against you.
âOne.â Wade coos, as you squirm - working through the overstimulation, âWhatâs our record? Double-digits, right?â
âEleven,â You whine, But it took all night.â
âLetâs aim for a bakerâs dozen.â His teeth glint, with his smile, âWeâve got time.â
Loganâs eyes are hungry, as he watches. His own hand wandering, wrapping around himself. Tugging his swollen cock to the rhythm of Wadeâs slow pace.
âAnd you-â Wade tosses something clear Loganâs way, âCan use this. Already lubed it up for you.â
Logan grunts, looking at the toy. The long, cylindrical shape. Transparent innards, with silicone opening that clearly indicates what itâs mimicking.
âYou really want me to use this.â It comes out flat - not a question.
âDo I-â Wade sighs, âYes. We do. So get your Jackman on and start pumping, or just admit that youâre not as open-minded as you keep pretending.â
His jaw works. Another sideways glance at the you, thumb testing the opening. Feeling how it gapes, as he tugs.
Aware of both sets of eyes on him. The look you fix him with - greedy, as you lips part with a pant.
With a glare shot at Wade, he lines the toy up. Slowly pressing it down, as his tip sinks past the slick opening.
A bitten back moan, as it grips him. Nothing compared to the warmth of your pussy, but better than his hand. Hips lifting as he pushes himself deep, eyes flashing up at the ragged sound you make as you watch.
âLo,â You breathe, âFuck, you barely fit.â
You can see where thereâs a fingerâs width of skin at the base of his cock. How the shape of him distorts inside the silicone as it stretches, but itâs unmistakeable how he fills it completely.
His brow furrows, âThat bad?â
âNo, baby,â You laugh, âItâs really fucking hot.â
You twist, as you reach over. Hand wrapping around his, coaxing him to move it up and down as Wade fucks you. Bottoming out again and again, his biceps flexing as he takes over.
ââs not bad.â Logan admits, as he slowly relaxes. Finally letting himself enjoy the show, as a second wave of pleasure starts to crest inside you.
âIâm not coming in it, though.â Itâs growled out, but breaks on a rough gasp, âComing in one of you, or not at all.â
âOh peanut.â Wade grins, as you moan - clenching around him again.
âWe wouldnât have it any other way.â

how i make character models* in paint3d
*they are not models. you cannot rig them. but for simplicity i will call them this. also this guy is the example âŹïž
so. paint3d is very jank and not actually that good But it is fun to mess around with and for getting that early 2000s computer game effect for things. this program crashes and lags a lot especially when making more detailed stuff like this so. throughout this Please save your project periodically. I have lost so much to not doing this
if your computer isn't that great it's best to keep the quality setting at it's lowest. these models aren't really that detailed so it doesn't make a huge difference anyways LOL
when you open p3d you start with a blank 2d canvas. if you've Never used the program before i recommend fucking around with 3d view + making 3d shapes for a bit. make a Thing. like just some random object. it does not have to be good it's just to get used to how the controls work (because it is different between my mouse and drawing tablet and im not going into that here LOL). the biggest positive about p3d is how user intuitive it is compared to.yknow. blender when you're done with the Thing and u want to start with your character go back to the 2d canvas/2d view for sketching time
you could probably do this in another program but. i find it easier to just do it here. i keep these pretty simple and try to keep depth in mind
then go to canvas and make the background transparent. and then switch to 3d view to start making the base for the model on top of the sketch
at this point i don't use the 3d doodle shapes yet because they are finnicky as hell. the preset ones are a bit easier to control and move around so they're nicer for the planning part. what shapes you use depends on your character but my guy here is very circles and round so its just a sphere and some cylinders
make sure you're in 3d view and checking the pose from every angle ! if ur guy looks like a roblox avatar without the assets loaded fully then that is ideal. once you're happy with the pose it's Sculpting Time
where you choose to start is up to you but i usually get the head out of the way bc it tends to be the most complicated thing.
this is my best friend forever. the sharp edge is helpful for stuff like metal and whatnot though so i use them both.
for stuff like hair and fur i find its easier to make a bunch of small shapes and then connect them instead of trying to do it all in one go
^better examples with fluffier guys
this part is pretty much just personal preference for how you want your model to look though. just keep adding Stuff until it looks alright. also reminder to be saving your work bc this is when it gets really annoying if p3d crashes
finished head. jus keep addin stuff. copy and paste is a godsend btw.
puffier jacket. also connecting the limbs. just keep addin stuff.
these take a few hours .finished limbs. pretend the backpack is there i forgot to get a progress shot of it
now it is time for the objectively best part which is painting the guy. switch back to the 2d brush but stay in 3d view and start Coloring . i only really use the watercolor brush for shading/gradients and the marker one for lines but this part is also personal preference.
watercolor brush for the blue gradient and marker for the face .
i would Not do this in 2d art but i like adding a white gradient to pastel colors like with the hair here. it compliments the soft shapes well i think. to quote a friend it Looks Gummy
my silly highlights.
almost done with the creature. also mentioning that there are different textures for objects that you can change when picking their base color. the zipper is metal so it gets to be shinier.
theres also different lighting/filters to mess around with + you can doodle on the transparent canvas still.
save ur guy as a image and/or a turnaround gif/video/whatevar u want . and thas it! you can also mess with the model more for different poses and expressions (although this is super laggy bc it has to render a bunch of shapes at this point)
go make some CREACHURES !!

My unpopular (why) opinion is that Toshiro's and Falin's relationship (platonic obviously) is quite beautiful and if fans weren't so odd about shipping they'd see how very sweet it is that Toshiro started liking Falin when he realised she's an odd but gentle person, when he felt a sense of kinship that he likely never felt before.
From what we see they got along, Falin has a positive opinion of him, on the few instances when we actually see them talk (beyond just memories of them talking but no actual dialogue being shown to us) it's obvious she feels comfortable enough to be completely honest and transparent with him, while still minding his feelings. She likes the guy well enough, she doesn't want to hurt him.
The marriage proposal is actually so interesting... The way they communicate with each other. Falin let's Toshiro down gently, and reveals something so intimate about herself, how she's behaved until now, what she wants to do in the future, that she'd like to visit him again!
And Toshiro is so gentle. He obviously cares about her so much (and water is wet BUT im talking specifically about how it's portrayed in this scene). If what Maizuru says is true, that was the second time he made a "selfish" request ("marry me and come with me") but he simply asks this from her and offers reassurances, "I'll make sure you're comfortable", but he's not you know the Hardass some people pretend he is.
And what I love the most... When she rejects him not only does he accept it gracefully, he's inspired by her declaration that she wants to be more independent. Why did Falin say that? To spare his feelings further? Or because she knew that this realisation, which meant so much to her, would resonate with Toshiro too?
Gonna get personal but. I'm aroace, hello. I've had a few friendships go to shit because someone confessed to me and I rejected them. And exactly one where the person accepted it gracefully and our friendship, after surviving an awkward moment, blossomed.
Like. Relationships CHANGE, and they can develop and deepen and strengthen in many ways, regardless of the dynamic they take on. When aspecs say "friendship can be as important as romance" one of the things we mean is, allow romantic love to go back to platonic love and be stronger regardless OR EVEN because of it.
Like. How beautiful, that these two recognised a bit of themselves in each other, and knew how to approach the other. How beautiful that Ryoko tells us "their friendship survived a rejected proposal, when the commonly used trope would've made their friendship unviable from then on".
How beautiful that narratively Toshiro's sacrifice is never played for laughs or made fun of or devalued because """he didn't get the girl""', but instead the manga says "it didn't pan out but it wasn't a pointless sacrifice because Toshiro genuinely cared for Falin as a person, and always did what he thought was best even when it went against his normal behaviour." How beautiful that Falin wants to meet his friend Toshiro again, that she thinks to tell him "I'm going to start being an active participant in my own life" and Toshiro thinks "I think I need to start doing that too".
How beautifullll that a rejection ended with a promise to meet again, it's so beautiful am I insane? Can someone hear me hello?
The love was there and it mattered, but it's even better. The love shifts and survives because the care is genuine, because when you truly care about a person you'll want them in your life in whatever dynamic suits everyone involved the best. Because love, whether romantic or platonic or a mix of something else entirely, is selfless.
#rambles#toshiro nakamoto#Nakamoto Toshiro#TL;DR I LOVE THE REJECTION AND THE FACT THAT IT'S USED TO IMPLY WHERE BOTH CHARACTERS NEED TO GO IN ORDER TO GROW#I LOVE THAT FRIENDSHIP PREVAILS....

COME OVER? / P.S
Pairing â sub!reader x softdom!Sunghoon
Genre â SMUT, fluff, reader and hoon are in a situationship
Warnings â SMUT (minors dni), making out, cursing, kinda jealous hoon??, fingering, rough, softdom!hoon, petnames, unprotected sex (wrap it up), bits of dry humping, mild degradation? (tell me if i missed one!)
Word count â 3,4k
Summary â You and Sunghoon were in a sorta situationship, you agreed at the beginning to keep it no strings attached. But one day, you came over, pretending it was to see his dog Gaeul, but you really wanted to see him.
a/n: not proofread, enjoy!
You stood outside Sunghoonâs apartment, nervously shifting from foot to foot. You'd been here a million times, but tonight felt different. Your heart raced, and you mentally cursed yourself for being so transparent. Your heart was doing that annoying fluttery thing every time you see him. It was infuriating, really.
With a deep breath, you knocked on the door. Almost immediately, it swung open, revealing Sunghoonâs smiling face. âHey,â he greeted, his eyes twinkling mischievously. He crossed his arms over his chest, leaving you admiring his toned biceps, emphasized by his gray tank top. âHere to see Gaeul, I assume?â
You rolled your eyes, trying to suppress a grin. âOf course, Hoon. Who else would I be here for?â
He stepped aside to let you in, shaking his head with an exaggerated sigh. âGaeul! Your favorite human is here!â he called out.
You were barely inside when Gaeul, his fluffy white dog, bounded over to you, tail wagging furiously. You crouched down, giving her all your attention. âHey, pretty girl! Missed you so much!â you cooed, scratching behind her ears.
Sunghoon stood above you, arms crossed, smirking. âYou know, Iâm starting to get jealous of my own dog.â
You straightened up, flipping your hair dramatically. âWell, maybe if you were as cute as Gaeul, youâd get the same treatment.â
âOuch,â he said, clutching his chest. âRight in the heart.â You laughed and he guided to to his living room, his space tidy and clean, like usual. âSo, howâs your day been? Or should I ask Gaeul that too?â
You plopped down on the couch, Gaeul jumping up beside you. âItâs been fine. Busy, but fine. How about you?â
He flopped down next to you, close enough that your knees touched. âSame old, same old. But Iâve been looking forward to seeing you. I mean, Gaeul has.â
You snorted. âSure, Hoonie. Whatever helps you sleep at night.â
He grinned, reaching over to tousle your hair. âYouâre such a brat, you know that?â
âYeah, but you love it,â you shot back, winking at him.
He leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a teasing whisper. âMaybe I do.â
Your breath hitched slightly, but you quickly masked it with a laugh. âYou wish.â
You were sprawled out on Sunghoonâs couch, Gaeul curled up beside you, her head resting on your lap. As you absentmindedly stroked her soft fur, you noticed Sunghoon shifting beside you, his attention clearly divided between you and the movie you decided to put on.
âGaeulie, youâre such a good girl,â you cooed, scratching behind her ears again, you knew it was her favorite spot. âI missed you so much.â
Sunghoon huffed dramatically, throwing his arm over the back of the couch. âYou know, Iâm here too. Just saying.â
You glanced at him, a smirk playing on your lips. âOh, really? I hadnât noticed.â
He rolled his eyes, leaning closer until his shoulder brushed against yours. âYeah, I can tell. Gaeulâs getting all the love tonight.â
âShe deserves it,â you said, kissing the dogâs head. âSheâs the cutest.â
He poked your side, making you squirm. âHey, Iâm cute too. At least, thatâs what my mom says.â
You laughed, playfully swatting his hand away. âYour mom has to say that. Itâs in the Mom Rulebook.â
Sunghoon narrowed his eyes, feigning hurt. âYou wound me. Seriously, though, can I get a little attention over here?â
You continued to pet Gaeul, pretending to ponder. âHmm, I donât know. Gaeulâs pretty demanding.â
His pout deepened, and before you knew it, he grabbed your hand, pulling you up from the couch. âOkay, thatâs it. Come with me.â
âHey, what are you doing?â you protested, though your protests were more for show than anything.
He didnât reply, just led you down the hallway to his bedroom. Once inside, he closed the door behind you and sat on the edge of his bed, patting his lap. âCome here.â
You raised an eyebrow, crossing your arms. âOh, so now you want my attention?â
âYes,â he said, his eyes gleaming with mischief. âAnd Iâm not sharing it with Gaeul this time. Now, come here.â
You sighed dramatically but couldnât suppress the smile tugging at your lips. âFine, fine.â
You straddled his lap, your knees on either side of his hips. His hands found their way to your waist, pulling you closer. âThatâs better,â he murmured, his voice low.
Your heart raced as you leaned in, your lips inches from his. âYouâre so needy, Hoon.â
âOnly for you,â he whispered before closing the distance between you.
His lips met yours in a soft, lingering kiss that quickly deepened. One of his hands slid up your back, tangling in your hair, while the other stayed firmly on your waist, grounding you to him. You responded eagerly, your fingers threading through his hair as you kissed him back with equal fervor.
The kiss grew more intense, your breaths mingling as you lost yourselves in each other. Sunghoonâs tongue teased your lips before slipping inside, exploring your mouth with a familiarity that sent shivers down your spine. You could feel his smile against your lips, the playful edge never quite disappearing, even in moments like these. He pressed you harder against him, and you could feel his boner underneath you, making you squirm.Â
He broke the kiss for a moment, his eyes dark with a mix of lust and determination. âYouâre such a tease, you know that?â he murmured, his voice low and rough.
You smirked, running your fingers through his hair. âOnly because you love it, Hoonie.â
He growled softly, a sound that sent shivers down your spine. âYouâre right. I do.â His hands slid up your back, under your shirt, his touch firm and possessive. âBut you need to learn when to shut that pretty little mouth of yours.â
You opened your mouth to retort, but he captured your lips again, his kiss silencing you effectively. His tongue invaded your mouth, demanding and unyielding, and you couldnât help but let go as you melted into his arms. He knew excalty how to make you putty in his hands.Â
When he pulled back, his eyes bore into yours. âThatâs better,â he said, his tone low. âI like you quiet.â
You pouted playfully, but your breath hitched as his hands roamed your body, exploring every inch with a confident touch, going from your breast to your sides to the small of your back. âHoonie,â you whispered, your voice trembling slightly.
He smirked, clearly enjoying the effect he had on you. âYes, baby?â He tilted your head back, his lips attacking your neck with a series of hot, open-mouthed kisses. You gasped, your hands clutching his shoulders as he sucked and nipped at your sensitive skin. You moaned his name slightly, and you could feel his smug smirk on your neck.Â
âGood girl,â he murmured against your skin. âI love hearing you like this.â
You shivered at his words, a thrill of excitement running through you. You loved his pet names and how he made you feel cherished and desired. It was addicting.Â
âYouâre so needy,â he teased, his lips brushing against your ear. âYou canât get enough, can you?â
You shook your head, your breath coming in short gasps. âNo, I canât.â
He chuckled darkly, his hands sliding under your shirt and lifting it over your head. âThatâs what I thought.â He tossed your shirt aside, his eyes raking over your exposed skin. âSo fucking beautiful,â he murmured, his hands exploring your curves.
You shivered under his touch, your hands moving to unbutton his shirt. âYou too, Hoonie.â
He allowed you to remove his shirt, his muscles flexing under your touch. âYouâre being awfully good tonight,â he noted, a teasing edge to his voice.
You smirked, leaning in to kiss his jaw, making him sigh in pleasure. âDonât get used to it.â
He laughed, a deep, rich sound that made your heart skip a beat. âI wouldnât dream of it, pretty.â His hands moved to your bra, deftly unclasping it and tossing it aside. You opened your mouth to retort, but his hands on your breasts silenced you, a moan escaping your lips instead. He kneaded your soft flesh, his thumbs brushing over your nipples, sending jolts of pleasure through you.
As Sunghoonâs hands roamed your bare breasts, kneading and teasing, he shifted his grip, guiding your hips to grind against his. You could feel his hardness through his jeans, and the friction sent jolts of pleasure through your body.
âYou like this, donât you?â he murmured, his voice dripping with arrogance.
You moaned loudly in response, your hands clutching his shoulders for support. He chuckled, the sound low and smug. âThatâs what I thought. Such a good girl for me.â
His hands never left your breasts, his thumbs brushing over your nipples, making you arch into his touch. Every time you moved, he applied just enough pressure to make you gasp, your hips grinding against him more desperately.
âYouâre so sensitive,â he said, his eyes dark with desire and amusement.Â
Your breath came in short, ragged gasps, your body completely at his mercy. âHoon, pleaseâŠâ
âPlease what?â he teased, his fingers tweaking your nipples just enough to make you cry out.
âPlease⊠more,â you begged, your voice barely more than a whimper.
Sunghoon's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, and his smirk grew even more arrogant. "More, huh? You want more?"
Before you could respond, his hand slipped between your legs, deftly undoing the button and zipper of your jeans. He slid his hand inside, his fingers finding their way to your core through the thin fabric of your panties. The anticipation made you shiver.
âI know exactly what you need,â he murmured, his fingers teasing you through the damp fabric.
With one swift motion, he pushed your panties aside and slid a finger inside you. You gasped at the sudden intrusion, your body arching into his touch. He added another finger, thrusting them roughly, setting a fast pace that made you cry out.
âFuck, Hoon,â you moaned, your hands gripping his shoulders for support.
âYou like that, baby?â he asked, his voice a low growl. âYou like my fingers inside you, mmh?â
âYes fuck,â you breathed, your body trembling with pleasure. âPlease donât stop.â
He chuckled, a dark, satisfied sound that sent shivers down your spine. His fingers moved expertly, curling inside you just right, hitting that sweet spot that made you see stars. He knew your body like the back of his hand, every movement calculated to drive you wild. His thumb found your clit, rubbing it in rough, circular motions that made your moans grow louder.
âLook at you,â he said, his tone a mix of arrogance and affection. âSuch a good girl, taking my fingers so well.â
You bit your lip, trying to stifle the moans that kept escaping your lips, but it was impossible. He was too good, too skilled. He knew exactly how to touch you, how to push you to the brink of ecstasy.
âDonât hold back,â he commanded, his fingers thrusting even faster. âI want to hear you.â
You couldnât hold back if you tried anyway. Your moans filled the room, your body trembling with the intensity of your approaching climax. âHoonie, Iâm so close,â you gasped, your nails digging into his shoulders.
âI know, baby,â he murmured, his voice soothing yet commanding. He started attacking your neck, leaving purple marks all over your neck and collarbone. âLet go for me. Cum for me.â
With a final, skillful twist of his fingers, he pushed you over the edge. Your orgasm crashed over you like a tidal wave, leaving you breathless and trembling in his arms. You cried out his name, your body shaking with the force of your release.
He held you through it, his fingers slowing but never stopping, prolonging your pleasure until you were a quivering mess in his lap. âThatâs it,â he whispered, his voice filled with satisfaction. âGood girl.â
As you trembled in his lap, your body still reeling from the intense orgasm he had given you, Sunghoonâs eyes darkened with raw desire. He watched you with a predatory gaze, his fingers tracing patterns on your skin.
âYouâre so hot when you cum,â he murmured, his voice low and rough. âI canât wait any longer. I need to be inside you.â
You shivered at his words, the anticipation making your heart race. âHoonieâŠâ
He silenced you with a searing kiss, his hands moving to rid himself of his jeans and boxers. You could feel his hardness pressing against you, and the thought of him inside you made your core ache with need.
âIâm going to make you feel so good,â he whispered against your lips, his voice dripping with confidence. âYouâre mine.â
You nodded, your brain already turning to mush from his touch and words. With a low growl, he positioned himself at your entrance, the head of his cock teasing your wet folds. âReady, baby?â
âYes,â you breathed, your hands clutching his shoulders. âPlease, Hoonie.â
He didnât need any more encouragement. In one swift motion, he thrust into you, filling you completely. You cried out, the sensation of him stretching you overwhelming and exquisite.
âFuck, youâre so tight,â he groaned, his hands gripping your hips as he began to move. âSo fucking perfect.â
Your mind went blank as he set a fast and rough pace, each thrust sending waves of pleasure through your body. You could barely form coherent thoughts, let alone words. All you could do was cling to him and moan his name.
âSunghoon,â you gasped, your nails digging into his shoulders. âSo good⊠HoonieâŠâ
He smirked, clearly enjoying the effect he had on you. âI know, baby.â
His words only heightened your arousal, your body responding eagerly to his control. He pounded into you with a fierce intensity, each movement pushing you closer to the edge.
âYou like that?â he asked, his voice a mix of cockiness and affection. âYou like it when I fuck you hard, huh?â
âYes, fuck,â you moaned, your head falling back as you surrendered to the pleasure.
âThatâs my good fucking girl,â he growled, his grip on your hips tightening as he thrust even harder. âTake it all.â
You were completely at his mercy, your body a trembling, needy mess. The pleasure was almost too much to bear, but you didnât want it to stop. You needed him, every inch of him.
âHoonie,â you whimpered, your voice barely more than a whisper. âIâm so close.â
He leaned in, his lips brushing against your ear. âCum for me, baby,â he whispered, his voice commanding and soothing all at once. âCum all over my cock.â
His words sent you over the edge, your orgasm crashing over you with a force that left you breathless. You cried out his name, your body convulsing around him as waves of pleasure washed over you.
Sunghoon groaned, the tightness of your orgasm pushing him to his own climax. With a few more powerful thrusts, he came inside you, filling you with his warmth. He held you close, his breath ragged and his grip firm, as you both rode out the aftershocks of your pleasure.
As you slowly came down from your high, you collapsed against him, your body spent and trembling. He held you gently, his hands soothing as he whispered sweet nothings in your ear.
As you both started to breathe normally again, Sunghoon gently lifted you off his lap and guided you to lie down beside him on his bed. He pulled you close, wrapping his arms around you, his body warm and comforting against yours. The room was quiet, save for the soft sounds of your breathing and the faint rustle of the sheets.
You nestled into his embrace, feeling a sense of contentment wash over you. His hand traced lazy circles on your back, the simple touch grounding you in the afterglow of your shared intimacy. You could feel the rise and fall of his chest as he took deep breaths, his heart beating steadily against your cheek.
For a while, neither of you spoke, content to just be in each otherâs presence. But then, Sunghoon shifted slightly, his fingers stilling on your back. He took a deep breath, his chest expanding under your head, and you sensed he was gearing up to say something important.
âHey,â he began, his voice soft and hesitant. âCan⊠I ask you something?â
You tilted your head up to look at him, your eyes meeting his. âOf course, Hoonie. Whatâs on your mind?â
He hesitated, his brows furrowing slightly as he searched for the right words. âIâve been thinking⊠about us.â
Your heart skipped a beat, but you kept your tone light and playful. âOh? Is this about how Iâm your favorite person to cuddle with?â
He chuckled, a small smile tugging at his lips. âWell, thereâs that too.â His expression grew more serious, though, and he continued, âBut no, I mean⊠about us being more than just⊠whatever we are now.â He took another deep breath, his eyes locking onto yours. âIâm not really good at this, talking about my feelings and all, but⊠I want to be with you. For real.â
Your playful smile softened, and you reached up to cup his cheek. âHoonieâŠâ
âI mean it,â he said, his voice earnest. âI want us to be a couple, not just whatever this is. I want you to be my girlfriend. Iâve wanted to tell you for a while, but⊠I didnât know how.â
You could see the vulnerability in his eyes, and it made your heart swell with affection. âYouâre doing just fine,â you assured him, brushing your thumb across his cheek. âBut, are you sure you can handle all of this?
He looked at you, confusion flickering in his eyes. âWhat do you mean?â
You sighed, nestling closer to him, feeling the steady beat of his heart against your cheek. âOur lives are really busy, Hoonie. College, work, everything. The reason we kept things no-strings originally was because neither of us were ready to commit to anything serious. Are you sure youâre ready for this?â
Sunghoonâs expression softened, and he brushed a strand of hair away from your face. âI know things are crazy right now. But Iâve been thinking about it a lot. Iâm ready to make time for us. I want to be with you, even if itâs not always easy.â
You looked up at him, searching his eyes for any doubt. âItâs going to be tough. We wonât always have time for each other, and it might get frustrating.â
He nodded, his eyes earnest. âI know. But Iâd rather have you in my life, even if it means weâre both busy and stressed sometimes, than not have you at all. Iâve been feeling this way for a while, and I canât keep pretending I donât.â
A small smile tugged at your lips. âYou really mean that?â
âAbsolutely,â he said, his voice steady and sure. âI love you, y/n. Iâve loved you for a long time, and I donât want to hide that anymore. Iâm ready to commit, to make it work, no matter what.â
Your heart swelled at his words, the sincerity in his voice touching you deeply. âI love you too, Hoonie. I just want to make sure weâre both ready for this. I donât want either of us to feel pressured or overwhelmed.â
He leaned in, kissing you tenderly. âWeâll take it one day at a time. And if things get tough, weâll talk about it. Weâll figure it out together.â
You nodded, feeling a sense of peace wash over you. âOkay. Letâs do this.â
He smiled, his eyes lighting up with happiness. âReally?â
âReally,â you confirmed, snuggling closer to him. âBut you have to promise me something.â
âWhatâs that?â he asked, his arms tightening around you.
âYou have to promise that weâll still be playful and tease each other. I donât want us to change just because weâre official now.â
He smiled, his eyes twinkling with mischief. âDeal. I wouldnât have it any other way.â
You spent the next few moments in comfortable silence, simply enjoying the closeness. Sunghoonâs fingers resumed their gentle tracing on your back, and you felt a sense of contentment settle over you.
âIâm really glad youâre here,â he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.
âMe too,â you replied, pressing a kiss to his chest. âYou make me happy, Hoonie.â
He kissed the top of your head, his lips lingering against your hair. âAnd you make me happy. So, I guess weâre pretty good for each other.â
You smiled, feeling a warmth spread through your chest. âI guess we are.â
As you lay there in his arms, you knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, youâd face them together. And that was all that mattered.

My Favorite Cheap Art Trick: Gradient Maps and Blending Modes
i get questions on occasion regarding my coloring process, so i thought i would do a bit of a write up on my "secret technique." i don't think it really is that much of a secret, but i hope it can be helpful to someone. to that end:
this is one of my favorite tags ive ever gotten on my art. i think of it often. the pieces in question are all monochrome - sort of.
the left version is the final version, the right version is technically the original. in the final version, to me, the blues are pretty stark, while the greens and magentas are less so. there is some color theory thing going on here that i dont have a good cerebral understanding of and i wont pretend otherwise. i think i watched a youtube video on it once but it went in one ear and out the other. i just pick whatever colors look nicest based on whatever vibe im going for.
this one is more subtle, i think. can you tell the difference? there's nothing wrong with 100% greyscale art, but i like the depth that adding just a hint of color can bring.
i'll note that the examples i'll be using in this post all began as purely greyscale, but this is a process i use for just about every piece of art i make, including the full color ones. i'll use the recent mithrun art i made to demonstrate. additionally, i use clip studio paint, but the general concept should be transferable to other art programs.
for fun let's just start with Making The Picture. i've been thinking of making this writeup for a while and had it in mind while drawing this piece. beyond that, i didn't really have much of a plan for this outside of "mithrun looks down and hair goes woosh." i also really like all of the vertical lines in the canary uniform so i wanted to include those too but like. gone a little hog wild. that is the extent of my "concept." i do not remember why i had the thought of integrating a shattered mirror type of theme. i think i wanted to distract a bit from the awkward pose and cover it up some LOL but anyway. this lack of planning or thought will come into play later.
note 1: the textured marker brush i specifically use is the "bordered light marker" from daub. it is one of my favorite brushes in the history of forever and the daub mega brush pack is one of the best purchases ive ever made. highly recommend!!!
note 2: "what do you mean by exclusion and difference?" they are layer blending modes and not important to the overall lesson of this post but for transparency i wanted to say how i got these "effects." anyway!
with the background figured out, this is the point at which i generally merge all of my layers, duplicate said merged layer, and Then i begin experimenting with gradient maps. what are gradient maps?
the basic gist is that gradient maps replace the colors of an image based on their value.
so, with this particular gradient map, black will be replaced with that orangey red tone, white will be replaced with the seafoamy green tone, etc. this particular gradient map i'm using as an example is very bright and saturated, but the colors can be literally anything.
these two sets are the ones i use most. they can be downloaded for free here and here if you have csp. there are many gradient map sets out there. and you can make your own!
you can apply a gradient map directly onto a specific layer in csp by going to edit>tonal correction>gradient map. to apply one indirectly, you can use a correction layer through layer>new correction layer>gradient map. honestly, correction layers are probably the better way to go, because you can adjust your gradient map whenever you want after creating the layer, whereas if you directly apply a gradient map to a layer thats like. it. it's done. if you want to make changes to the applied gradient map, you have to undo it and then reapply it. i don't use correction layers because i am old and stuck in my ways, but it's good to know what your options are.
this is what a correction layer looks like. it sits on top and applies the gradient map to the layers underneath it, so you can also change the layers beneath however and whenever you want. you can adjust the gradient map by double clicking the layer. there are also correction layers for tone curves, brightness/contrast, etc. many such useful things in this program.
let's see how mithrun looks when we apply that first gradient map we looked at.
gadzooks. apologies for eyestrain. we have turned mithrun into a neon hellscape, which might work for some pieces, but not this one. we can fix that by changing the layer blending mode, aka this laundry list of words:
some of them are self explanatory, like darken and lighten, while some of them i genuinely don't understand how they are meant to work and couldn't explain them to you, even if i do use them. i'm sure someone out there has written out an explanation for each and every one of them, but i've learned primarily by clicking on them to see what they do.
for the topic of this post, the blending mode of interest is soft light. so let's take hotline miamithrun and change the layer blending mode to soft light.
here it is at 100% opacity. this is the point at which i'd like to explain why i like using textured brushes so much - it makes it very easy to get subtle color variation when i use this Secret Technique. look at the striation in the upper right background! so tasty. however, to me, these colors are still a bit "much." so let's lower the opacity.
i think thats a lot nicer to look at, personally, but i dont really like these colors together. how about we try some other ones?
i like both of these a lot more. the palettes give the piece different vibes, at which point i have to ask myself: What Are The Vibes, Actually? well, to be honest i didn't really have a great answer because again, i didn't plan this out very much at all. however. i knew in my heart that there was too much color contrast going on and it was detracting from the two other contrasts in here: the light and dark values and the sharp and soft shapes. i wanted mithrun's head to be the main focal point. for a different illustration, colors like this might work great, but this is not that hypothetical illustration, so let's bring the opacity down again.
yippee!! that's getting closer to what my heart wants. for fun, let's see what this looks like if we change the blending mode to color.
i do like how these look but in the end they do not align with my heart. oh well. fun to experiment with though! good to keep in mind for a different piece, maybe! i often change blending modes just to see what happens, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. i very much cannot stress enough that much of my artistic process is clicking buttons i only sort of understand. for fun.
i ended up choosing the gradient map on the right because i liked that it was close to the actual canary uniform colors (sorta). it's at an even lower opacity though because there was Still too much color for my dear heart.
the actual process for this looks like me setting my merged layer to soft light at around 20% opacity and then clicking every single gradient map in my collection and seeing which one Works. sometimes i will do this multiple times and have multiple soft light and/or color layers combined.
typically at this point i merge everything again and do minor contrast adjustments using tone curves, which is another tool i find very fun to play around with. then for this piece in particular i did some finishing touches and decided that the white border was distracting so i cropped it. and then it's done!!! yay!!!!!
this process is a very simple and "fast" way to add more depth and visual interest to a piece without being overbearing. well, it's fast if you aren't indecisive like me, or if you are better at planning.
let's do another comparison. personally i feel that the hint of color on the left version makes mithrun look just a bit more unwell (this is a positive thing) and it makes the contrast on his arm a lot more pleasing to look at. someone who understands color theory better than i do might have more to say on the specifics, but that's honestly all i got.
just dont look at my layers too hard. ok?

Cw: Nsfw (Wraith!Simon, humping, secret public play with reader receiving oral)
You accidentally adopted a wraith last year on Halloween, bumpem into his invisible form when youâre on your way home, and now heâs been with you almost a year.
âSimon?â you just woke up, standing absentmindedly as you wait for your morning tea to steep, and the sudden chill sending down your spine indicates his presence. After having him with you for a long time, youâre able to sense him when heâs approaching, even though he chooses to be cloaked now. He does say a word, nor does he shows his form, but you can feel a pair of hands holding onto your hips, and the obvious hardness prodding against the plumpness of your ass. The approving hum when you support yourself to the countertop with your arms, and the growls beside your ears as he rocks his hips furiously against your clothed pussy lips, seeking frictions to deal with his early morning horniness of seeing you in your office skirt and semi-transparent tights. âSimon, stopâŠnghâŠ!â You chastise him, mind telling to squirm out of his grip yet all you do is sticking your ass out further, giving him more access to glide that thick cock along your puffy folds, and when his hand slide down to give your clitâstill swollen from last night because heâs feeling more energetic as the Halloweenâs closerâ a wicked flick, youâre tumble over the edge, legs failing to hold up and support by his arms, thighs trembling and eyes unfocused, until the time he gives a final few humps and comes on your tights, you eventually regain your balance and shoot him a glance. Well, you canât see him now, but you stare straight into his eyes cause you know him to well, that you know where his eyes are although heâs invisible. You guess heâs not in the mood of showing himself for some reasonâprobably still being a bit broody from waking up earlyâbut how dare him still be grumpy when he literally just came on your stockings and ruin yet another pair before you need to go out and work? âYouâre causing my trouble again.â
But the bastard just walks away with a huff of laughter still lingering in the air.
Simon follows you to your office. Heâs still invisible to other people, but showing true form to you now. You can see him walking around in the office, towering height allows you to see him wherever he goes. Heâll stroll inside the office occasionally, maybe spilling one of your colleaguesâ coffee after they tried to flirt with you, and watch them flustered and confused about how the cup fell without any force? You can see the slight smirk ghosting on Simonâs lips while he enjoys the show. Itâs the colleagueâs fault, though. Dare to hit on you even after you show them the âS.R.â bounding mark imprinted on your wrist, which you always explain as a tattoo of your partnerâs initials. Theyâre lucky that he doesnât show up at their home in night and haunt their dreams.
But His favorite thing to do is definitely sneak under your desk, ducking his head in your skirt and tear a slit on your tights, exposing your pussy and start lapping at it lazily. You kick him softly, yet you canât open your mouth and threaten him, or itâll be your moans slipping out and alerting the entire office. Your hands on the keyboard wobbles, typing slowly with another hand covering your mouth, pretending there isnât a wraith of a man burying himself in your pussy, huffing and groaning out at the alluring scent, tongue pressed flat against your entrance and lick a long stripe that makes your eyes snap closed immediately, muffling all your cries with your palm, hoping your coworkers wouldnât come closer to check on you when they glance at you and spot you squirming on your seat with your pink cheeks hinting the bliss youâre feeling. Simonâs long tongue nudge playfully at your clit, intend to get any drop of those juices out of your cunt before the clock hits 5. âDonât blame me, princess. You have me stuck with you in this bloody office, gonna find some fun for myself.â His voice rings in your mind, as if itâs sent directly to it, never stops pushing his tongue inside your tight and warm cunt and press at the spongy spots, and get you squirting on his face just as the hour hand points towards 5.
You bury your face in your arms, resting on the desk briefly the moment you drench Simon in your juices. But heâs already pulling you up, and you so your best to walk straight while ignoring othersâ questioning gaze. The wraith you owned is looking forward to night to feast on you the rest of the evening, and as his responsible âownerâ, guess youâll have to give him a good ride.

đčperv!rafe peeking up readerâs uniform whenever sheâs taking her shift as a waitress. (sheâs middle class, but rafey somehow doesnât care that much when it comes to her) he sits in a booth, always calling her over, pretending to drop something so he can watch her bed over, seeing her pretty lil panties (or those transparent skin colored tights).đ
oh em gosh ur a genius!!!
dis is dedicated 2 u nonnie baby!
đđ«§đŹ
you had noticed him come in. his 6â5 stature always standing out. he tried to b discreet so it didnât seem like he was trying 2 b a perv but you were very observant! heâd always sit in a booth adjacent to the bar at the restaurant where you worked at.
he would always take his time ordering, as if he didnât order the same thing everyday. heâd great you with the sweetest smile on his face, his eyes festering with something deeper, something that set a familiar feeling off inside you. he seemed like he came right after golfing, his bag in his truck and his jeans with slight grass stains in them. his thighs seemed to be bursting out of his jeans. the thought of riding them made your thighs clench as he waved you over to take his order.
he rubbed his stubble with hand as he looked over the menu one last time before ordering. he always asked for the same thing every day. an all american burger with no onion or mayo, and extra bacon. he never got any sides, and if he got a drink it was always bourbon or plain water.
you turned around after taking his order when you heard his wallet fall. oh no! you bent over to pick it up, your uniform skirt sliding up just enough to expose the curve of your ass and your pantie clad cunt. you had no idea how much you were teasing him right now. you turned and handed him his wallet with your face on fire.
âthanks babydoll. and thanks for the view too.â he said as he manspread in the booth, his gaze making you feel hot all over. you simply nodded, your words getting the best of you, your brain basically turning off.
while you basically having a crisis, rafe was daydreaming about you. the shimmery tights you wore under your pink and white skirt. the white heels with the slight scuff on the bottom. ones he would love to have over his shoulder while fucking you. he didnât really care about you being a pogue. you were beautiful enough to be a kook, or to be dating one. if anyone said anything about his girl, he would kill them.
you could feel rafeâs pervy gaze on you all the time. he walked you to your apartment when your shift was over. it was silent but a comfortable silence. you couldnât afford a car and since he was walking you home, you didnât really need the bus!
once you got there, you looked up at him, batting your eyes and biting your lip. âcome inside?â you asked, voice wavering with the slightest hint of hesitance. rafeâs eyes widened a bit before the usual smirk he had on his face appeared. âof course baby.â
