Super Famicom - Pinocchio

Title: Pinocchio / ピノキオ

Developer: Virgin Interactive Entertainment / Disney Interactive Studios / Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida Inc. / Westwood Studios

Publisher: Capcom

Release date: 20 December 1996

Catalogue Code: SHVC-ACGJ-JPN

Genre: Platform Action

No. of Players: 1

There was a time when people always associated licensed games with poor quality. This is not always true, as there were many good games of the 16-bit era based on Disney properties that defied this rule. Mickey Mania, The Lion King, Castle of Illusion… Pinocchio (published by Capcom in Japan) is sadly not among them. While Pinocchio is a very good effort, it has a few serious problems and some uneven difficulty despite being a very easy game. There are better platform games out there on the Super Famicom though, so it’s not essential by any means, just an okay game with some very good graphics and sound. There were Sega Genesis and Game Boy versions released in the USA and Europe, and there was supposed to be a Sega 32X version of Pinocchio but that did not end up happening. I would imagine the Sega 32X version matching up with this Super Famicom version had it been finished and seen a release.

Pinocchio was originally based on a book before it was a movie. The book was good too, drawing inspiration from such classics as Jonah and The Whale and Pygmalion. I could gush on and on about how Pinocchio’s story really resonates with me, but the story only plays a limited role in this game. Presentation-wise, Pinocchio recycles a lot of content from Mickey Mania and The Lion King. You can find sprites, pieces of levels, and even a few sound effects. Pinocchio even sounds just like young Simba! If you can get past the recycled content, Pinocchio is a very beautiful game, featuring plenty of colors, sprites with some very high animation counts for their time, and some detailed backgrounds. Pinocchio’s music has an almost MIDI-like quality to it. It’s very basic while also sounding good. The music takes a lot of inspiration from the music in the actual movie, which is a very good thing. There are voice clips and sound effects too, but they are mostly recycled.

Gameplay-wise, it's bog standard. Run, jump, and occasionally attack enemies. The game doesn’t actually tell you this, but to progress in a few levels, you need to press “up” to through an arch door in the background. Most of the time though, you’re just jumping through levels trying to reach the goal. There are a few mini games to go through too. You have a dancing game where you copy what the computer does, fight off moths as Jiminy Cricket, and do a ducking/jumping segment on a roller coaster and a raft. You also have a segment near the end where you have to collect planks before going to the goal. Level design is okay for the most part, except for a few times that give you blind jumps.

Happy Birthday, Mitsuhide~

Hello, hello folks~

It’s been a while since this blog’s seen any activity, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for sticking around nonetheless!

*struggles to remember how to put emojis in a post --- GDI, where is everything?! LOL! XD*

Ugh. ANYWAY. I just wanted to share my Mitsuhide birthday art (because I surprisingly really like what I’ve done). ^^

Art coming up. \(^ ^)/

Main birthday art! I drew inspiration from the secret ending of the current birthday event story “Immortal Love”. That scene where Mitsuhide walks under the flower arch and everyone just wishes him a happy birthday while throwing petals in the air just.... *happy sigh*. I just loved that scene so much. Pretty thankful since I didn’t even know what I was going to draw for his birthday until I read that part. *insert purple heart ---- DAMN IT! WHERE ARE THE EMOJIS?! LOL! XD*

Then, as usual, I ended up playing around with it and  - TADAH! - I eventually made it into a 16:9 “moonlit-stroll-along-the-beach” wallpaper for my work laptop! XD 

AND THEN, while browsing through IkeSen JPN’s twitter feed, I came across such a cute avatar picture. Before I knew it, I was foregoing precious nap time before work to draw a daddy-daughter picture, LOL! XD

The pic from twitter:

Aaaaaaaaaaaand the duo pic:

And that’s it for Mitsuhide’s birthday. Will post more old art as I try to get comfortable again in this space. *sweatdrop* Until next time...... (^o^)/

*cringe*

.........Goodness, I feel like such a tech dinosaur right now! Is it because I’m posting from my laptop?!?! ARGH! Emojis! Come out, come out, wherever you aaaaaare~

Leyenda Local

Beach volleyball was an avid part of yn's life. Even after they take a hiatus from the scene for a year to see what else life has to offer aside the invitation to join the national beach team in the past, meeting one popular indoor player was enough to make them consider going back to the sport they love.

Bumping the old volleyball on your forearms as a form of exercise while walking seemed like a good idea at the time. You've been doing this for a little over an hour, practicing your overhead receiving techniques along with the passes you've come to be known for. The waves crash around your usual jogging route on the beaches by the sand court. You watch with envious eyes as the young men practiced together, yelling at each other in both Spanish and Portuguese at their teammates. Their racket was enough to cause you to pause your self-practice and wander up to the court. Four tall men stood out to you, and while their accents seemed foreign to you, you realized you were in the presence of the one the national and local sports fans called "Ninja Sho" and "Grand King," thus making you swallow nervously. You too had a name which was recognized in the local league albeit a bit earlier than their arrival to your home country.

Several hours later, you were still at the beach, wandering tiredly as you sat on the stone fence facing the street behind you. The nightlife of the clubs and bars cast a ring around your frame. You seemed a bit disappointed about not joining the volleyball men from that afternoon, although one member of the party stayed behind with someone else. Their conversation in a different language you haven't heard either:

"They've been staring at us since the last set," Hinata states. The red orange haired one shuddered as a response.

"I saw them when we met up shrimpy-chan," Oikawa states.

"Perhaps they'd like to play?" Hinata says nodding his head as he heard you bumping the ball on your arms.

Yet, that was hours ago. Currently, you breathe evenly while you stretch your calves out before you were joined by the one you observed being called, "Grand King." Nervous though you were not intimated much by his presence, his mahogany orbs glance at your welts on your arms.

"Quieres jugar conmigo?"

In his hands, he extends a volleyball to you. You blink in surprise, explaining the time is late, but you instinctively do not turn down a chance to play the sport you loved. As you two walk toward one of the courts, you speak to one another trying to get a feel for the other. He arches an eyebrow at you skeptically when you mentioned you were an all-around player and have been nominated on more than one occasion to participate in competitive leagues.

"Me llamaban leyenda cuando jugaba. mi amor por el juego nunca vaciló, no hasta hace poco. Mis médicos dijeron que había agravado mi lesión de rodilla en más de una ocasión, así que, como todos los buenos jugadores, tuve que parar. hoy mi rodilla estaba mejor, así que vine aquí para practicar algunos de mis pases, pero ver cómo juegan tú y tus amigos me dio ganas de intentarlo de nuevo,” you explain this as you walk with him to the courts. Your eyes may have been focused on the stars above, but your words have captured Oikawa Tooru’s undivided attention. You don’t notice how he glances at you in a curious perplexed fashion as you continue.

“El voleibol forma parte de mi vida hasta el punto en que es tan fundamental como comer o respirar ... jaja. lo siento, parecía divagar cuando me hiciste una pregunta tan simple,” you end your answer with an exasperated sigh. The bag on your shoulder drops to the border of the sand court. Thus this game of ‘king of of the court’ began between you and the foreigner with bouncy hair.

It wasn’t until you received and returned his monster serve, after you stretched your arms and cracked your neck. The act alone caused Oikawa to become a firm believer in not questioning the things you said. You just proved truth in the subtlest of ways with a shit-eating grin on your face. Your form when it was your turn to serve was exquisite even now despite your slight wince as you land on the soft mounds of sand. You might have made a service ace, but Oikawa knows and notices, but chooses to not say anything just yet. He realizes just how sharp your instincts are to chase the ball, following its trajectory all over the small court. Your digs are on par with some of his own team players in high school, hell even some of the ones he was travelling with at the moment.

The sand is kind to you as you land and give rise to your muscle memory gaining momentum in this sort of tug of war before you received one more brutal spike. You were breathing hard, yet so was your partner because for the first time in a long while you both felt evenly matched. There were no points to be playing for today. It was just an exhibition match as he had deemed it. Your heart beat rapidly as you sat down on the sand facing him and he did the same. Another bead of sweat trickles down the side of your face before you ask if perhaps both of you should call it a night. He hums and as he stands, he hands you a cell phone from his bag. You smirk behind the blue light, silently understanding why he passed you the phone; you press the numbers and the save button right after you take selfie.

“¿Te gustaría acompañarme a casa?”

At this, the grand king smiles when you hand his phone back to him.

The church bells ring in the surrounding neighborhood and seeing how late in the evening it actually is, your new friend escorts you to where you live.

“Aqui es donde vivo,” you say in your home dialect’s accent. Of all things for Oikawa’s brain to focus on after playing against you at the beach and having fun, he focuses on how your voice sounds like a smooth symphony to him. You reach into your pocket to fish out your keys and give the nice young man from Japan (as you’d out) a soft smile.

“Gracias por acompañarme a casa.”

“No problemo,” he says. Mind you, he doesn’t let you know how in the brief hours he had known you, you’ve managed to make him develop a playground crush on the mystery person named, “YN, venti-dos anos: leyenda local (del voleibol).”

“Buenas noches Oikawa Tooru,” you said with a nod.

“Buenas noches,” he says with a chuckle.

Inside the elevator of your building, he unlocks his phone, opening the contacts book. There he scrolls until he finds your photo, biting his bottom lip whilst a chortle escapes his throat.

“Leyenda,” he reads to himself. He shakes his head as he exits the building, grinning like he just played the best game in his life (up to that point).

FLASH FORWARD:

Tokyo, JPN, 2021 Olympics: GOLD MEDAL QUALIFIER

“And with this win, Team Argentina advances to the next round. Tomorrow night, they go up against Team Japan for the gold!” the announcers were excitedly talking about the game you had stood in the crowds to watch.

Indoor volleyball matches were the same, yet different to you, but you understood the appeal. Your boyfriend’s number had been painted on the right side of your cheek throughout the entirety of the games he was a part of. A few of the Olympic spectators noticed who you were since their favorite international star had made headlines in the local news channels reportedly he was seeing someone just by the way he makes a small cross over his heart after an interview. It was a sign he made recalling the first of many promises after your injury took you out of playing for good. Nevertheless, you persisted and eventually earned a spot (and title) of sports rehab specialist back home.

As blurred photos of you at his matches increased in the last two and a half years, bystanders would know (and recall) that you two were made for each other. Passerbys and the occasional fans of both you and him took note to how you kept each other performing at your personal best. Besides, if you think about it, a high-calliber player and his equally high-calliber significant other would eventually be caught stealing congratulatory kisses and warm embraces pre and post-match. This afternoon’s match was the first time the news and sports journalist columns finally got a clear photo of the person whom the captain of the Argentine team makes a silent reference to: your hair draped loosely over your shoulders and you wear the colors of your lover’s team in your outfit. You wave first then yell with the crowds jumping with your fist in the air as the players respectfully thank the attendees for coming.

The cameras were focused on both you and Oikawa when you watch Oikawa’s eyes finally find you in the stands and with a solid triumphant point with one hand to you and the other on his chest, you couldn’t stop the sensation of pride coursing through your veins. Afterall, Oikawa Tooru said this to you after making the national Olympic team:

“Si ya no puedes jugar, ganaré para los dos mi querido.”

Translations below!

Quieres jugar conmigo: would you like to play with me?

Me llamaban leyenda cuando jugaba. mi amor por el juego nunca vaciló, no hasta hace poco. Mis médicos dijeron que había agravado mi lesión de rodilla en más de una ocasión, así que, como todos los buenos jugadores, tuve que parar. hoy mi rodilla estaba mejor, así que vine aquí para practicar algunos de mis pases, pero ver cómo juegan tú y tus amigos me dio ganas de intentarlo de nuevo. El voleibol forma parte de mi vida hasta el punto en que es tan fundamental como comer o respirar ... jaja. lo siento, parecía divagar cuando me hiciste una pregunta tan simple.

they called me Legend when i played. my love for the game never wavered, not until recently. my doctors said i had aggravated my knee injury on more than one occasion, so like all good players, i had to stop. today my knee was feeling better, so i came here to pratice some of my passes, but watching how you and your friends play made me want to try again. volleyball is part of my life to the point where it is as essential as eating or breathing... haha. sorry, i seemed to ramble when you asked me such a simple question.

Te guestaria acompanare a casa?: would you like to escort/walk me home

YN, venti-dos anos, Leyenda Local: YN, 22 years old, local legend

Aqu dondes vivo: this is where i live.

Gracias por acompanarme a casa: thank you for walking me home

Buenas noches: good night

Sí ya no puedes jugar, ganaré para los dos mi querido: if you cannot play, then I will win for both of us.

Sketched Covfefe tonight after watching her crush the Dogwood Stakes today.

I love that a horse named Covfefe is by Into Mischief and out of a mare named Antics. A+ naming.

Covfefe pedigree ramblings below the keep reading line

Covfefe’s pedigree is pretty amazing. Her dam is an unraced daughter of the graded stakes winner Aurora, making Antics a half-sister to Arch (G1 winner and important sire), Acoma (G1 winner), and Festival of Light (UAE champion). Aurora is a daughter of the great Althea a multiple G1 winner and champion 2yo filly. Althea frequently took on the boys and won the G2 Del Mar Futurity at 2 and the G1 Arkansas Derby at 3 and was the beaten favorite in the 1984 KY Derby. Althea is a daughter of the great producer Courtly Dee. Courtly Dee was not much of a racehorse, but was an amazing broodmare. 

Along with Althea, Courtly Dee produced G1 winners Ali Oop & Ketoh, G2 winners Aishah, Aquilegia & Twining, G3 winner Native Courier, and stakes winner Princess Oola (among others). 

Courtly Dee’s other daughters have also gone on to be brilliant producers. They’re responsible for a host of stakes winners including G1 winners: Balletto(UAE), Yamanin Paradise (JPN), Bayern, and Aldiza. 

Bloodhorse has a nice article the goes into a little more detail on Courtly Dee’s influence through her fabulous daughters.

SOILWORK | RELEASE BRAND NEW SONG & NEW VERSION OF "STÅLFÅGEL" FEAT. ALISSA WHITE-GLUZ

Swedish visionary metallers SOILWORK have released a brand new song called 'Feverish'. The song is being made available digitally along with a new version of their last album's single, 'Stålfågel', featuring ARCH ENEMY singer Alissa White-Gluz. Watch the official music video for 'Feverish' here: https://youtu.be/004nwbT--H8 Stream 'Feverish' and 'Stålfågel' feat. Alissa White-Gluz here: https://nblast.de/Soilwork-Feverish  Commented the band: We have all been feverish. We have all sometimes given in to the temperature rising inside of us, being ridden by a ghost that made us do things we didn’t want to do, but it somehow felt good afterwards, like a purging of the mortal organism that confines us.   Some people say that our bodies were originally designed to have a higher temperature. That when humanity first evolved our bodies were constantly feverish, the warmth subduing our control mechanisms and the neurotic, nervous behaviour we seem to be so prone to these days. And that might be one of the reasons we were able to proliferate and conquer the world. and subdue its natural inhabitants.  Perhaps it’s time to let go again, to unleash the fire still burning within us, biding its time and still hoping to one day be able to take over?   SOILWORK, the metal band that should all be dead by now, have felt their temperature rising for a while, Some say that they’ve even become a bit reckless. There’s even been a quote from one of the band members saying, on tape, ”F**k the consequenses”, and when asked to elaborate, he just said ”I’m feverish”, and disappeared.   So, while the background and and motives are a bit sketchy, and the band seems reluctant to reveal too many details, SOILWORK will be releasing »The Feverish Trinity«over the next five months, a trilogy of songs with accompanying videos that, according to Soilwork, will ”celebrate the Babylonian Death Goddesses that once made the world a more Feverish and exciting place”.   'Feverish' follows the band's globally acclaimed new album, 'Verkligheten' (album of the month in Metal Hammer, Rock Hard, Aardschok and Scream), which was released in January as well as the incendiary 'Underworld' EP which dropped this summer.

shigure and f!kamui's first time making love? :3

Oh no this is so cute asdjhdlas Because although he can be a sexy beast, as I’ve written before (according to his jpn my room lines), he’s still younger than Kamui and more inexperienced (not that she has a lot of those lmao) which makes it….. so much….cuter……(and no less sinful ;D)

Dusk hadsettled inside the Astral Realm just as Kamui had finished her bath in the hotsprings she had built in beside her quarters. It was of a smaller size than thepublic one in the center of camp, true, but it was still for her personal useonly.

Stillwearing the post-bath yukata, her hair was wet as she approached her quarter’scorridor. A figure awkwardly standing outside her room made her smile,however. “Oh? Shigure?” She called from afar, the smile growing in thecorners of her mouth. “Sorry I was away when you came to visit.”

“Ah, Kamu–”He turned to her voice with a smile, but the sight before him made the prince gulpand blush.

Trottingover towards him, Kamui’s head tilted in confusion. “Is something wrong?You’re beet red!”

Shigurecovered his mouth with one hand, thanking the heavens for his bangs coveringhalf of his face. She was so endearing; so… defenseless with that get-up.

Nothing buta post-bath yukata.

“I’m- um,forgive me for coming at such terrible timing…” He stuttered, suddenlyforgetting why he was there; his eyes looking everywhere but his betrothed.

Kamuigiggled, opening the door with one hand, pulling Shigure’s with the other. Heflinched under her touch, but with his mind occupied by thoughts of her, hisbody let itself be led inside. “Nonsense! I’m the one who’s sorry fortaking too long in the bath.” She guided him to the bed, where they usually satto converse before sleep.

As she sat,however, he remained standing up; suddenly too self-conscious about their wholenight-visiting. Usually, they would snuggle and talk about this or that beforebidding each other good bye as he headed towards his own room.

Except,that night he couldn’t help but feel like staying.

Staring ather beloved, Kamui immediately picked up on his thoughts through his awkwardposition, eye-shifting and deep blush. She licked her lips. “Shigure?”

The soundof her voice made him flinch once again, her hand still on his, burning on theirskins. “Y-yes!” He almost yelled, pressing his lips into a thin line andlooking at the ceiling.

Kamuifeigned a pout, pressing her thumb over his skinny hand. “Why are youlooking away from me?” She tilted her head one side, the wet hair sliding downto show her nude neck, “is something upsetting you?”

Shiguregasped. “Oh no! Please don’t think–” As he was turning to his beloved todismiss her worries, once again her charms struck him, leaving him speechless.Kamui laughed.

“I won’tget mad if you tell me what’s on your mind, Shigure. Do you want to touch me?”She whispered, bringing his hand to her face. The prince sat down beside hisprincess, a most pitiful expression on his face.

“I… I knowwe’ve talked about this before- b-but I wanted our first night together to benothing short of perfect!” He blurted out, his golden gazing into her deep-red.Then, he looked away, scratching the back of his neck. “I-I’ve triedr-reading about the issue, but as I thought… it is rather embarrassing…” As hespoke, Kamui tried not to laugh, feeling warmth bubbling inside her chest –look at how loved she was! “A-and I wanted to make you feel good, despiteme being younger…” By then, he lowered his head so much Kamui couldn’t see hisface.

Because ofthat, she pressed her forehead against his, touching his cheek with her freehand. “You don’t need to impress me, Shigure; we can both learn together.It’s going to be my first time, too, after all.”

He slightlylifted his gaze, making their noses touch; his heart pounding against hisears. 

“I don’tmind waiting,” Kamui continued, still sensing his hesitation, “but are yousure YOU want to wait?” She teased, biting her lower lip provocatively as sheslid her hand from his cheek to his chest and abdomen, stopping at his crotch.

He waserect.

“I-!!”Shigure stuttered, immediately covering his face as his body jerked up inembarrassment. “I-I’m sorry, Kamui, you were just so beautiful I– I… Imean…!”

Kamuigiggled, putting a tuft of hair behind her ear as she reached in for a quickkiss, his lips trembling under her. “It’s okay, Shigure. I’m flattered,actually.” She pressed their foreheads together. “We can learn together, if youwant, my love.” She whispered, once again sliding her hand down historso. “Do you… mind if I touch it?” She looked up at him expectantly asshe bit her lip, a slight flush covering her face.

Since hewas also wearing his sleeping yukata, the only things separating her hand fromhis pulsating erection were two thin fabrics – the kimono’s and his fundoshi.He lowered his head so much, his face covered by his bangs and such a deepshade of red, Kamui couldn’t help but feel blessed for having such a cutelover. He simply nodded, clenching the bed sheets with both hands on eitherside of his body.

“You’re socute,” Kamui kissed his cheek, using both of her hands to caress his face andput his bangs behind his ears. “I’m sure we’ll have a great experience.”She whispered, once again placing her hands over his erection, slowlyuncovering it.

It was so…red. She grasped it with tenderness, afraid of hurting him. It felt firm to thehand, though she felt she could pull the skin up and down. “It’s my firsttime seeing one,” she mused, pressing her lips into a thin line as she restedher forehead on his shoulder. Shigure lifted his head, huffing for breath – hertouches brought jolts of pleasure throughout his body, making him very muchwant her to keep touching.

Kamui ranher fingers through his shaft and stopped at the glans, slightly pressing hisurethral meatus since it was overflowing with preseminal fluid.

Shigure letout a loud moan, his melodious voice almost singing his pleasure. ImmediatelyKamui raised her face to him as he covered his mouth with both hands, his faceeven redder than before. His eyes were wide and Kamui could see the vein of hisneck pulsating for his heart pounded faster than he could process.

“Does thisfeel good?” She slide her hand up and down his shaft, watching as he squeezedhis eyes, both hands still over his mouth. 

He dug histeeth over his lower lip under his hands, muffling the moans inside his throatas she started to enjoy herself with his expressions. He started shaking as theorgasm came sooner than when he used his own hands, surely because it wereKamui’s doing the job.

“Oh,” sheblinked in surprise with the sudden squirt of semen around her hand andimmediately smirked. “I guess it indeed felt good, hm?” She brought herhand to her mouth and started licking off the semen, extremely curious aboutthe taste.

Shigure hadsqueezed his eyes shut with the orgasm and opened them just in time to see herrelishing herself with his fluids. He couldn’t possibly get redder than healready was, but he felt his erection coming back immediately. “K-Kamui…!That’s not fair; I want you to feel good too…” He held her arms, almostthrowing her on the mattress.

Kamuifinished licking her fingers before lustily looking up at her beloved. “Ofcourse; we still have much to do.” Slowly, she reached out of for her own innerthighs, “do you want to see it?” She glanced down, making Shigure’sgaze follow her.

He loudlygulped and nodded, letting go of her arms as she rested her back at the pile ofpillows by the headboard. She wore nothing under the yukata, so she only neededto slide it to the side with her fingers to show her gapping vulva to thenervous Shigure.

He feltlike coming by just seeing how rosy and wet it was – her vaginal openinggapped as though it called for him; her huffs of breath shaking her entire bodymaking his own pulsate and feel more preseminal fluid slide down his shaft.

Inadvertently,he reached out for it and Kamui liked her lips in anticipation. “Do youwant to touch it?” She asked with a huff, relishing on his bewildered yeteager eyes.

Shiguregulped before nodding, his hand halfway to the middle of her legs.

“Thengive your hand here.” She reached out for him, pulling his hand towardsher face. Before he could ask, she inserted his two middle fingers inside hermouth, immediately twirling her tongue around them.

The soundShigure made wasn’t human, but he didn’t pull away. “Ka-Kamui?!” Heshrieked, his heart beating so loudly by his ears he couldn’t hear his ownvoice.

Once shecoated his fingers enough with saliva, she took them out, a sliver of it stillconnecting to her lips as she huffed on them. “You need to always be wetbefore going inside of me, understand?” She winked, guiding his handtowards her inner thighs.

“Um-”He stuttered, feeling his fingers touch her pulsating vulva after she placedhis hand there. It was so hot! It was almost begging for him to caress it…

Inebriatedby lust, Shigure explored her most private area by pressing his fingertipsaround, immediately finding her sensitive spot at the clitoris due to herflinching and moaning. Something sparked into him and he kept massaging it withthe dry hand as the wet hand descended to her vagina, slowly inserting thefingers she had coated.

His hand,despite being a man’s, was still slender – his fingers went in with ease,Kamui’s body used to her own fingers on the nights she touched herself.

“Shigur-ahh…”She moaned under both stimuli, arching her back – making her yukata slide downand reveal her hard nipples. Shigure stopped his dry hand and didn’t wait forpermission to touch her breasts.

They wereso soft and they moved seductively as she gasped for breath under his fingers.Soon he had his mouth over one of them, feeling the slightly salty taste ofKamui’s sweat.

It wasaddicting.

“Ican’t take it anymor-ah…” Kamui complained, feeling somewhat incompletedespite the amount of stimuli her beloved gave her. Confused, Shigure raisedhis head from her breast, his unfocused eyes seeing only lust. “I wantmore than just your fingers, Shigure… I need you to fill me entirely…”She caressed his hair, putting the bangs on both sides of his ears so as to seehis golden eyes glittering with the prospect of penetration.

On hisknees, he took his fingers out of her and looked down at his erection, then ather open legs before him, hesitating. Kamui impatiently moaned, suddenlyreaching in for his shoulders.

“Youwon’t hurt me, I promise.” She assured, almost desperately. “If itmakes you feel better, I can control the depth so I can stop if it hurts –which it won’t.” She looked at the pillows by the headboard before closingin for a frenzied kiss.

Shigurerolled his eyes in pleasure, letting himself be led to where Kamui had beenlying down moments before – though the pillows made him sit and lean his backon them rather than lie down, allowing their chests to brush against each otheras Kamui looked down to the erection and braced herself to slide it in.

“Kamui…my Kamui…” Shigure moaned as she held his penis in place, holding herlove handles with both hands before the upcoming kiss.

“Shigure…ah…!” She felt the glans rubbing at her vaginal opening and  couldn’t contain her excitement, biting herbeloved’s lower lip in anticipation. She slowly lowered her hips, both legs oneither side of his body, and felt herself stretch to accommodate his might.“Ahhnn…” She extended out a moan, putting it all in before wrappingher arms around his neck.

“I-it’sso tight…!” Shigure moaned, squeezing her hips with all he had, closinghis eyes and resting his cheek over her shoulder.

“Ifeel… I finally feel complete, Shigu–ah– re…” Kamui moaned, tearsitching down her eyes. She pulled away her hug to rest her forehead on his, herinsides pulsating around him. “I’ve always felt the need, ah, to fill theemptiness inside… but now, ah, I finally feel fulfilled…” She sobbed,caressing his face. “You’re filling me up with your body, ah, and yourlove…”

It was histurn to feel his eyes burn with tears. How deep it was the love he felt forthat woman! How deep it was the connection they had just formed – connectednot only through their hearts, but now through their bodies! His chin trembledas he closed the distance between them so as to place a tender kiss on herlips.

Her bodyinstinctively moved up and down, and soon they moved in sync in order to pleaseeach other the best they could – Kamui twirled her hips as Shigure used hishands to help her up and down around his shaft, bringing all kinds of newfeelings to the secluded prince.

Their firstorgasm together was followed by tears. “I love you so much, myKamui…” Shigure breathed out, tired but certainly not exhausted,brushing his lips against hers.

Breathingheavily, Kamui leaned on Shigure’s body for support, her insides pulsatingaround him, wanting nothing more than to spend the rest of her days alongsideher younger companion. “I love you too, my sweet prince…” She gavein to a kiss, her mind fogged due to the orgasm.

However,the night was young and so were they – now that they had tasted one another,they began exploring each other’s bodies with more freedom. The second timethey came it was between giggles and ‘I love you’s, both of them lookingforward to the rest of their life together. If it meant learning from eachother and sharing that beautiful love, they could see through anything.

A Young Irish Pub in Jamaica Plain Closed After St. Patrick’s Day

The Gate shuttered suddenly in Egleston Square

A fledgeling Irish pub in Jamaica Plain has closed down, less than a week after St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The Gate (3171 Washington St.) closed without warning, per Jamaica Plain News, and the building housing the restaurant and several residential units is now for sale.

Owner Paul Byrne — who previously ran James’s Gate, a nearly 20-year-old Irish pub in Jamaica Plain that closed in 2015 — opened the Gate in May 2017 in the former Coco’s Lounge space. The restaurant had undergone renovations to feature wooden arches behind the bar that were brought in from a building in Dublin, giving the space a decidedly European feel. The food menu included a mixture of Irish pub fare and American items, including nachos, lamb burgers, sandwiches, fish and chips, and shepherd’s pie, as previously reported.

“We regret to announce that The Gate Bar & Restaurant has closed this week,” Byrne said in a statement on the closure to Jamaica Plain News. “We want to thank our customers and the Egleston Square neighborhood for the loyal support this past year. We are sad to have to permanently shut our doors and apologize for any inconvenience.”

The sale of the restaurant is active, and the space is advertised as a turnkey operation. Stay tuned for details on what might replace the Gate in Egleston Square.
