shadow generations game of the year no contest. thank you for your time

you can also look at my massive list of stuff i played/watched/etc here. i am not posting this whole dang thing

[brucewaynehater101]

Ok so ive had this idea stuck in my head for WEEKS at this point and i need to tell someone about it so im invading your asks

(ages for this au, id imagine Damians around like- 12 or 13 and Tim/JJ's like- 17)

What if a version of Damian (like from ine of the good happy batfam universes) was sent to to a universe with Joker Junior where the rest of the bats were killed by the Joker and JJ was never reacued and brought back to being Tim?

And Damian is like- terrified because he doesnt know where he is or how to get back home and then hes found by JJ.

And like- at first JJ would probably try to leave Damian but once he gets a good look at this kid baby brother, thats his baby brother- he would realize that he recognizes this kid. So he keeps him!

The only problem with that is the Joker. Now the bats are all dead (or theres circumstances preventing them from doing anything) in this universe so theres nobody around to stop the Jokers shit. And we all know that the Joker isnt above murdering or tourturing kids. (Id imagine the JJ of this universe has done stuff like that once or twice, but he doesnt like to. He's a smaller equally manical yet WAY less bloodthirsty version of the joker)

So JJ keeps Damian hidden from his "Papa" until the bats of Damians universe are able to find a way to bring him back home. In the meantime tho, Damians under JJ's care, and its terrifying, but at least he tries!

Now in my mind Joker Jr. is kinda like Jinx from Arcane with mood swings, visual and audio halucinations, so so smart but so so crazy and confused and SCARED and oh so close to finally snapping until he actually does.

And this boy that he kiddnaped rescued confuses the fuck out of him. Because Junior recognizes him from somewhere and he doesnt know why.

(I hope this all makes sense its kinda just like a word vomit lmao my lizard brain just want crazy older brother Joker Jr. [Also there isnt enough JJ content out there and that is a crime])

(Older brother JJ content??? Fuck yeah)

TW: JJ, torture, child abuse

JJ... Recognizes those glaring emerald eyes and scowling face. He doesn't know why, but it causes reality around him to pulse with uncertainty as it teters between JJ's world and someone else's. Someone Papa doesn't like.

JJ won't talk to them. He knows he's not supposed to. Papa will become angry. So Junior tears his eyes from the bird kid baby bat and turns to leave. A tsk stops him.

Another wave of familiarity crashes over JJ, but he doesn't know that child. He doesn't. He really really doesn't know him.

So, Junior should move. Papa won't he happy if JJ can't move.

Well, unless Papa is teaching JJ a lesson.

His nerves light up at the memory of cold metal tables, electric probes, and buzzing.

JJ needs to go, but that kid. He can't leave him. He also can't take him with either. He knows what happens to the kids Joker meets.

Junior would never disobey his papa, but the ever-present buzzing noise isn't a deterrent for bad behavior. With how often he's punished, it hardly matters whether JJ is being a good child or not. He's always in trouble. Instead, that buzz is a reminder that he can't be caught.

JJ is smart. He's clever and sneaky. He's also great at lying, even to bats. While he may not know why lying to the nocturnal creatures is important, he knows it's an accomplishment he's proud of.

He can hide the child from Papa! It'll be a fun game! Junior's little surprise.

Junior isn't sure what he's winning, but he knows what will happen when he loses.

Death to the bird and punishment to JJ! A great joke!

Though Junior doesn't know why the kid is a bird.

Oh well! JJ will take great care of the little bird. All he has to do is feed him and keep him hidden! It will be like all the other things JJ hides from Papa. He'll never admit it, but Junior thinks Papa is a little dumb. As long as JJ plays pretend with the older man, he'll remain unsupervised.

Anyways, JJ has more of a demented, childish voice while Tim is more analytical and serious.

Damian, to start with, doesn't recognize Tim. JJ has green hair, bleached skin, cut cheeks, and way less muscle mass. The behavior is drastically different as well (also, we're not gonna speculate any specific mental disorders for these AUs. JJ and Tim are considered different due to their characterizstions, but I don't want to put harmful connotations out there [especially since I don't have any relevant conditions to insert accurate and mindful interpretations]).

In this AU, the Bats are all dead. JJ did kill some of them, which drastically reduced his ability to recover and remember that he's Tim.

He didn't kill Damian, though. Tim also feels extremely protective of his younger siblings (Duke included). Unfortunately, they're dead in this AU :/

JJ oscillates between being terrified, peppy, silent, crying, and content at rapid rates. It takes several days for Damian to feel out some of the triggers.

The Bats from Damian's universe are trying their damned best to get there as soon as possible. Sadly, Joker finds out about Damian before then.

JJ, by this point, has bonded with the kid. That kid is HIS. He may have some slightly fucked up notions on how to show care, but he will not let anyone harm the bird (not even Papa).

So, JJ does his best joke yet. He kills Joker.

Only after killing the Joker do the other Bats show up. They offer to take JJ with them (particularly because that's Tim!!!), but he refuses. He doesn't want to go with his family. He doesn't remember them and he killed some of them.

He can't stay with them.

My Childhood Wonder Grew Up

Yesterday I wrote a short post about how I had a smutty story idea that none of the friends I showed it to discouraged me from developing, and as a result it's, uh, developed into something I might actually make. And because the past two months have been ABSOLUTE HELL, especially for any other more fruitful/less smutty creative endeavors of mine, I feel the need to share something I've created to validate my existence in some way. But because this idea is, again, shamelessly smutty and self indulgent, I'm going to give you a proper warning of what you're getting into so you can back out from looking at it.

Ok... so... I'm a big Digimon fan, or at least a big fan of the first three seasons/series of Digimon anime - I feel they kind of dropped off in both story and monster design after Digimon Tamers, though they've been returning to form lately. Have you seen Dinomon? Dinomon kicks ass, even managed to supplant Plesiomon as my favorite mega.

But anyway! Digimon designs vary a lot more in aesthetics than pokemon do, but the best ones all have this cool grungy punk rock feel to them. And because Digimon was the punk rock to Pokemon's pop music, it had more edge to it. Yeah, your dinosaur buddy could evolve into a bigger dinosaur if you want, but it could also evolve into THE FUCKING DEVIL if you played your cards right/wrong. And while the Digimon animes have more or less focused on the most logical evolutions - little dinosaur becomes bigger dinosaur becomes cyborg dinosaur becomes, like, humanoid dinosaur knight - there's a part of my brain that's always thought about how you could take the "person partnered with an evolving monster" setup in a weird direction. Like, what happens if your fun monster pal digivolves into one of those nightmarish Final Boss digimons like Diaboromon or Apocalymon? What if you had a partner who digivolved into one of the "garbage" monsters, i.e. the pathetic, gross, mostly useless digimon that were a result of you sucking at playing the virtual pet game these were originally made for?

Or... I mean, I warned you this was a smutty idea... what if your digimon partner evolved into one of the hot digimons? Like any of the MANY digimons that are basically monster girl dominatrixes? What if your partner turns into LadyDevimon?

And that silly, smutty idea just rattled in my head for a while. 'Cause there's sort of a fun twist you can do on the stock "I've grown up and my childhood friend is now hot and I don't know how to process that" plotline in romance stories with it, you know? Because how does that cliche storyline change if the childhood friend in question was originally a three foot tall lizard, but now she's a nine foot tall dragon-woman?

It's a smutty idea! A terrible, shameful, smutty idea!

...

but no one's stopped me, so...

My Childhood Wonder Grew Up! is the story of five ten year olds who accidentally wandered into another world filled with monsters called wondersprites. Partnering up with five of these wondersprites, the kids went on a grand and harrowing adventure to defeat the Dread Kings, five uniquely strong and wicked wondersprites who were deadset on ruling both the World of Wonder and the human world with a tyrannical iron fist. They defeated the evil, parted with their wondersprite friends, and sealed off the World of Wonder forever, becoming celebrities in the human world in the process.

And then eight years passed.

The "Wonderkids" have graduated high school, and are all struggling with the burden of childhood fame, the gnawing fear that their lives may have peaked when they were preteens, a complete loss as to what they should do with their adult lives, and most of all, a deep sense of grief at being parted with the weird creatures they had befriended during that bizarre and wondrous childhood adventure. As they step out of childhood into adulthood, something remarkable happens.

Wondersprites reappear in the human world, chief among them are their old partners. Except their partners have grown up too, transitioning past what was thought to be the final level of their life cycle. And their new forms are... unexpected.

The leader of the "Wonderkids" was/is Ren Akari. Once a bold, confident (perhaps even overconfident) kid with a flashy and bizarre sense of fashion, Ren's lost all that brash attitude over eight years of people mocking their childhood exuberance and role as the face of the Wonderkids. Now they just want to be invisible, covering themselves in dark and muted clothing, hiding their face (and their goggles - try as they might, Ren can't give up all their childhood habits) beneath a hood, and generally trying to shrink from the public eye as best as they are able.

Their sprite, Scaly Wonder, was a sweet dragon that could match and exceed Ren's enthusiasm pound for pound. She's kept that exuberance, but in her new form it reads a bit differently than it did when she was a pudgy (if badass) dragon.

(Ren and Scaly both identified as male when they were kids, but as young adults they identify as nonbinary and female respectively).

The "bad boy" of the Wonderkids, Colt Ford was stoic, aloof, and generally had an air of being too cool for all this fantasy isekai bullshit. He was always the first to criticize Ren's leadership, but also the first to jump into the fray to help out his friends. Though he often insisted to the contrary, it was clear he cared a great deal for his friends, especially his bird-like partner, Feathery Wonder.

Colt has, unfortunately, remains distant, aloof, and closed off through his adolescence, growing into a young man who's even more shut off from his feelings than he was as a kid. That's ok, though, it's what a man's supposed to be according to his parents.

Colt's partner, Feathery Wonder, has struggled to live up to those same expectations. Though he's definitely tried to keep getting stronger like colt wanted, somewhere along the way he crashed, and his new form is... well, it's anything but strong, though it does has surprising utility in helping out the other wondersprites with mid-battle upgrades.

A tomboy whose confidence almost matched Ren's, Jaime Shannon was the heart of the group in many ways, mending disagreements between the other Wonderkids and always making sure they remembered they were in this together. Jaime was never afraid to speak her mind, and also enjoyed playfully ribbing her friends when they got too wrapped up in themselves.

Unfortunately, that confidence was relentlessly criticized when Jaime and the other Wonderkids were put in the public eye after saving the world, with many tabloids and pundits singling her out as a "bad role model." Jaime purposely tried to distance herself from her childhood personality as much as possible, becoming prim, soft-spoken, and very traditionally feminine in a hope to prove she's not the grubby tomboy everyone thought she was.

Her wondersprite partner is Shaggy Wonder, a fuzzy furball of a creature who was perhaps the most self-serious of the lot, constantly making heroic proclamations and speeches, much to Jaime's amusement. He's still like that, of course, but with his much more heroic build, he's beginning to look like he might actually live up to his own hype now.

Seymore Sullivan was a scrawny, bookish kid who tried to live up to the idea of brains beating brawn, often with very limited success. Though shy and full of insecurities, he proved an important asset to the Wonderkids, as his wealth of knowledge and analytical mind allowed him to devise strategies his fellow ten-year-olds could not think of on their own.

Seymore had a very eventful journey of self discovery after the whole Wondersprite Adventure. She goes by Siobhan now, and with that change in identity she seems to have gained all the self confidence that many of her fellow Wonderkids lost.

Siobhan's partner was Crawly Wonder, a goofy and mischievous wondersprite who took a playful and irreverent attitude to their adventure in the World of Wonder, even when things got VERY perilous. Though Crawly loves putting people off kilter, they're a little worried their newest transition might be too much - it looks a little terrifying, doesn't it?

(Siobhan/Seymore identified as male when she was young but now identifies as female, while Crawly Wonder was and is nonbinary)

A girly girl through and through, Cassie (yes, Cassie, ignore the name I wrote on the paper, this is all a work in progress and shit will change) Vasquez may have been a bit whiny in the eyes of her peers, but she also had the strongest moral core out of all of them, and was the most successful at winning other sprites over to their side and away from the rule of the Dread Kings. She proved again and again that her femininity was an asset, aided by the help of her surprisingly versatile aquatic wondersprite.

Cassie has grown up to be a bit less traditionally feminine, though she would say her love of all things lady has only grown with age. She picks and chooses aspects of various alternative lifestyles that suit her - a little hippie here, a little punk there, etc. - and of all the Wonderkids, she's the one who most openly pines for the World of Wonder, even sporting several tattoos in explicit honor of her wondersprite partner.

Said sprite, Slippy Wonder, was invaluable in the water as would be expected, but also surprisingly capable of holding her own on land, battering enemies with her venomous tentacles. Slippy also openly pines for a reunion with Cassie, and is even more overjoyed than the others that the World of Wonder is connected to the human world again.

While the return of wondersprites to the human world is, ostensibly, the conflict that the Wondernot-quite-kids and their partners need to solve, the meat of My Childhood Wonder Grew Up lies in how their relationships to each other have changed now that they've grown up. Sure, there's a new Wondersprite Adventure for them to solve, with threats both old and new alike to deal with and a big mystery to solve, but all of that is hard to focus on for our no-longer-kid protagonists. As much as it seems like their childhood is back again, can it really be when they themselves have changed so much?

And also... are they gonna smooch those monsters? 'Cause some of them are... oddly smoochable.

...so yeah, that's the smutty little idea I've come up with and no one has stopped me yet. None of this is set in stone, naturally - I might age up the kids a bit, for example. Like, 18 feels thematically appropriate, it's the official transition point between childhood and adulthood, and graduating high school feels like a potent time to explore the feelings of leaving childhood behind and entering adulthood... but also I'm thirty-six and 18 doesn't really feel like an adult age to me now, even if legally it is, you feel me? Twenty would feel more appropriate, even if it's a less thematically interesting age.

And either way this probably won't come to fruition for, like, MANY years yet - when I get back my writing mojo I will be going right back to Maude and Mordi, and Wizard School Mysteries still has five books to go yet, and Dark Chivalry needs to fit in there somewhere too, not to mention a polished version of At Sea Without a Map and the 10th anniversary special editions of No Sympathies and ATOM Volumes 1 and 2...

But someday, maybe, we'll see this become a thing. A smutty, smutty thing.

[crowhoonter]

The Moon Presence holds a special place in my heart in terms of souls games final bosses because of the sheer what the fuckness of it all. All of the other final bosses have some kind of build up; Dark Souls can't go one minute without mentioning Gwyn, Nashandra and Aldia are major figures in Ds2's lore, the Soul of Cinder, while never directly alluded to is another example of the converging of time and space in 3, Isshin plays a large part in Sekiro's story, and Radagon is a major lore character with Elden Beast being pretty easy to clock as a manifestation of the Greater Will.

Flora, the Moon Presence, though? She comes out of nowhere. There are maybe two lines alluding to her existence at all, those being the workshop umbilical cord and the lecture hall note. The closest you otherwise get is the references to the terrible hunter's dream, which doesn't immediately conjure the idea of her to mind.

Even better we don't even know what she really wants. Oh sure, there are plenty of theories and inferences we can make. Maybe she uses Hunters like hitmen to prevent infant great ones from threatening her, maybe she's keeping a natural order running, maybe she wants to spread the beast plague, maybe she wants to prevent mankind's evolution, maybe she just plain loves violence. In the end though, its all still maybes. Girly walks on in and her mere existence changes so much about the story, yet she refuses to elaborate on anything.

Another very interesting aspect is, and this is probably a somewhat baseless observation, we don't really know what she is. Everywhere else in the game, Great Ones have some line of text associating them with that status. Oedon, Baby Mergo, Kos, Amygdala, The Brain of Mensis, Ebrietas. All of them have text somewhere that directly refers to them with that moniker, but Flora? Nowhere will you find something calling her a great one. Hell, in the Japanese translation, she is called "Moon Demon." It is probably safe and the intended inference that she is a great one, but the thought she might not be does tickle me nonetheless.

Then there is her role in the story. The Great Ones are said to be sympathetic in spirit, and there definitely is a part of her that echoes that sentiment. The way she cradles the hunter is like that of a mother holding a child, yet she seems to be a lot more manipulative than the Great Ones we see in game. They typically cause suffering not by tricking or making deals, but by being unaware of how they affect the world with their actions. Getting picked up by Amygdalae seems like a curious child picking up a lizard, unaware that they are hurting it. Flora though, there does seem to be a certain level of maliciousness beyond accidental. Gehrman's pain and suffering is clear to see, yet she keeps him chained to the dream because of whatever bargain he made (presumably animating the Doll). She does the same to the hunter should you forgo the umbilical cords. She also doesn't seem to want a surrogate like other Great Ones, maybe settling for keeping humans as pets rather than having an actual child.

She really is one of the best Fromsoft final bosses because of the sheer strangeness and the wrench her presence throws into the game's story. We can get a concept of most of Bloodborne's story with a bit of interpretation and reading between the lines, but she will forever be an enigma. For what purpose did Laurence and Gehrman summon her? Why is she seemingly not worshiped unlike other Great Ones? Does she desire a surrogate or are humans pets good enough? We may never know, and that is wonderful.

Stay enigmatic queen, live your freak life

i Headcanon that all the third years are in a group chat.

⁀➷ ∵  ❝country boy and his clown❞

⟶ phillip graves x oc/reader

⟶ cw. graves babygirl confused, funny banter, shadow boys, aloof OC, lots of jokes, third person <3

⟶ note. this is basically my little drabbles collection that will accumulate into a long story at some point about my OC Leech xd she's also the ones in all the other MW2 fics i've written

everyone likes that new girl. all the boys were drawn to her and graves can't believe the god damn sight of it all.

on the first mission the damn girl had her little portable gaming device, graves didn't catch what it was called. she whistled as she played whatever game on it. graves felt a fuckin' tick itching on his face from the clicking and tapping.

"shut that god damn thing off, fucking hell."

the girl sighs, putting it into her cargo pocket. "Sorry, Commander." she listens well, at the very least.

graves walks over to her and within an instant she stands up and salutes him. "What they call ya'?"

she's a new transfer, a sort of trade off with a friend. graves needed someone like her but her age was somewhat of an issue, not that young but maybe not old enough to know the ropes of an elite company.

"leech."

the fuck? grave left a migraine forming in his head now. "what?""

"leech, sir."

"got a backstory for that one?"

she laughs, "of course, i would never pick it myself. bit some guy's carotid off during my first deployment—i swear i didn't drink his blood though—"

"i didn't think that," graves sighs, pressing his fingers between his brows. "continue on then, sergeant."

"yup yup."

she catches on quick.

──────⊹⊱♝♜⊰⊹──────

"get this thing open!"

she sighs, tapping away at her little computer in her crouched form. "look boss, you've given me 2 seconds how about you give me 10 more seconds and maybe—oh, look it's open, you're welcome."

graves can see this girl making him lose his will to live. but he was no patient man and well, she was far too chill and nonchalant for this type of work.

when they get inside she's on the computer right away, jamming combinations of numbers and symbols to get what he wanted from this place.

"yikes, lots of porn on here."

graves almost snaps his neck turning to her. "what?"

"joking, got what we need." she pulls out the drive from the computer and pocketing it. she pulls her gun from her side back into her hands. "time to find out way out, commander."

──────⊹⊱♝♜⊰⊹──────

"i don't think i've met anyone more annoying." graves admits.

shadow 1-1 laughs, "boss, she's pretty cool and she's cute."

"she's funny, she said her callsign was because she ate a live lizard on the field—" shadow 1-2 mentions.

hes interrupted by 1-1, "wait what? she told me it's because she was sucking on her military ex-boyfriend's dick one time in the barracks and she accidentally cut off his foreskin."

"that's a fuckin' lie, if i've ever heard one."

1-1 takes offense, "yours sounds more fake than mine."

somehow this makes graves grab his head, what the hell has this girl been doing to my men. now it makes him doubt if the story she told him was even real.

she ponders, pursing her lips, "sir, i told you the real story—it's just fun telling all the boys different shit, they all go around tellin' each other the wrong thing and it's funny when they all get confused."

the girl looks around aimlessly, seemingly waiting for him to say something. "alright, you're dismissed. see you tomorrow, leech."

graves sighs in his office, the girl in front of him now dressed in a more business attire even if her skirt was far too short and the buttons her shirt were on wrong—the sheerness of that top too, jesus christ could she not afford a shirt didn't look like a piece of tissue? he could see her bra straps through the damn thing.

"are ya' lying?"

"maybe."

mtg standard decks i think the bg3 origins would play

astarion: monored aggro, but tbh i dont think hed even like it. he heard someone say its easy to pilot, and thats all Mr. Not Really The Planning Type needed to hear. bored and barely pays attention when hes playing. outside of the pun, i think orzhov bats would be a perfect fit for him, and make him feel smarter even if hes not the best at it

gale: keeps making combo decks and getting bored with them after a handful of wins prove to him that the concept works. still trying to break 2-mana jace. unwinds with azorius control and gets defensive when people call it winconless, because technically he has manlands and sunfall tokens. wants to think that his opponents are also having fun, but why tf would they be?

wyll: oh he had fun at the bloomburrow prerelease. still hasnt given up on frogs yet because he likes helga for both lore reasons (he loves an underdog! she just has to believe in herself!) and because hes a massive timmy who loves big creatures. totally isnt mad when his opponent efficiently removes 3 of his vaultborn tyrants in one game. why would he be mad? its just a game. he takes a smoke break after the match for completely unrelated reasons

karlach: hasnt played in years, so she had to rebuild her entire collection for standard (mostly plays edh for that reason. her fav is her rin and seri deck with mostly older cards in the 99 that she refuses to acknowledge are bad in 2024). plays the greediest lizard deck youve ever seen because shes also a timmy. i think shed like boomer jund if any of her friends (other than gale) played modern

lae'zel: prowess and she fucking loves it. "gruul is brain dead"? not the way she pilots that shit. she runs her deck like the navy. takes forever psychoanalyzing her opponent and thinking 4 turns ahead. cant play edh because she thinks the social contract is dumb. why doesnt everyone try to win? winning is fun? fight her like you mean it. genuinely a good sport when she loses so long as it was a good fight

shadowheart: looks like somebody misses the 8 rack. 4 cut downs, 4 go for the throats, 4 deep cavern bats, 4 bandits talents, my god she wishes thoughtseize was standard legal but liliana keeps her bloodthirst sated. gets mad when she loses to zoo decks but deep down its 70% jealousy. feels a weird sense of loyalty and duty to stick with monoblack, but shed convert to naya in 3 seconds if she ever tried it

RAIN WORLD WATCHER DAY 1 THOUGHTS

there are SPOILERS below this read more. this post is tagged with as many spoiler tags as I can cram onto it. if you choose to read on after being warned and complain about being spoiled, you had your chance to not click or scroll away!

Okay first things first I am actually a console gamer but by some grace of whatever god is looking out for me my piece of shit laptop that is in no way designed for gaming in any capacity went 'You know what, sure, I'll let you play the game'. I fully do intend to buy the game on console when it comes out so I can do completionist runs and stream it easier (my pc hates twitch and discord and everything that has a moving image usually. it is literally my Fanfiction Box)

My first impressions/Notes

You NEED to have completed either Monk or Survivor to play Watcher. Which is nice! For most people. I however had not completed either on pc as this silly machine is tempermental as explained above. So I had to sit there and complete Survivor first. It was... rough. I usually play as Rivulet or have the speed buff on when I play expedition mode so going slow was a challenege but hey, the authentic RW experience of "what the shit am I even doing any more" and "fuck swimming mechanics" and "god I fucking hate the leg". I did it though! Yay for me!

Pups in the opening cut scene for Watcher, very cute, very rotund! The white pup was really giving Survivor vibes but the default slugcat colour does seem to be white. I am more curious about the reddish-pink one that looks a LOT like Hunter. I don't think it is, no scar (though this could be HOW Hunter got that scar, I don't want to assume and I don't think this will be answered). Very sad that they're probably Dead.

The opening subregion of Industrial Complex is very nice! I always wanted to see what was up there and now, I can! The first thing I did was accidentially stab a scavenger while trying to save him from a pink lizard. The echo effect at the start of the campaign kind of gave me the idea to head straight for Pebbles. More on that in a moment.

First impressions was it all felt just like vanilla except... something felt. Wrong. First of all, I don't know if this is a glitch or not because I was able to get other passages but sheltering in any of the four vanilla regions I've been do did not count towards the Wanderer. In fact the Wanderer has not shown up AT all. I have been able to get survivor passage, cheiftain and have started on dragonslayer. Monk, Hunter and Saint have yet to pop up but thats probably because I've been dying a lot.

There's fucking red lizards. This seems to be a similar difficulty to Hunter or Spearmaster or Artificer. I have yet to see miros vultures but I have 100% almost died to a king vulture in Chimney. Because that's the standard Chimney Welcome <3

Before going to Pebbles I was going to swing by Moon, see how she was doing but... Garbage Wastes was blocked... by Rot. Okay I think, no biggie, I'll try to get there through Drainage System! Aha... nope... also blocked by weird purple Rot. Okay so Pebbles first it is except I get to the top of Chimney and... Sky Islands; rot. The Wall; rot.

And that's when I heard it.

The echo is... weird. It has A VOICE NOW, and it looks a lot different than the vanilla ones, smaller somehow, you can see its head way more defined... calling it now, working theory that is very very basic; Sliver of Straw. Or it is an entity that represents the Void Sea itself. But the Watcher can understand it, without the mark of communication. Just. Like. Saint.

Cool I think, more Karma. EXCEPT I HAVE BEEN BAMBOOZLED. I get plopped back into the starting region but now things seem... darker. There's rot there too now. As I explore Industrial there's also weird plants and it seems like some rooms are disintergrating???

So off to Shaded I go. Shoreline is also inacessable from here. I have not checked Garbage Wastes from Shaded but I have a feeling thats a no-go. Same with going through the gutter into drainage from chimney. I would reccomend visiting Shaded before Chimney or Farm Arrays (accessable through outskirts. beware of the red lizard and motherfuckering dropwigs). Literally I don't know how they did it but Shaded got more Shaded. And kinda purple.

Now this is where shit started to freak me out. Echo gave me a gift! The ability to blend in with my surroundings and avoid predators! Cool cool (echo also called the world a 'meat world' which implies they're not organic which leads me to think either iterator echo or this is The Actual Void Sea Itself talking to us.).

The world is fucking melting. Everything looks like Bendy and the Ink Machine had a party in Rain World, at least in Industrial it does. Food is... purple... and weird. You eat it it gives you half hunger saturation and stuns you for a second; also the poppy corn plants pulsate in weird ways and the black gunk also pulsates. And the blue fruit as well is affected.

Do not the purple. Do not the fucking purple.

... the lizards did the purple. I have no clue what is happening to the lizards but the poor geeny that hangs out in one of the first rooms of industrial got fucked up by the purple. I did not stick around long enough to find out what it could do. But the noises it made straight up sounded like it was about to start dropping the sickest dubstep my ears have ever been blessed by. And as someone who spent a lot of time In The Club, I have heard some dubstep.

Sick.

There's Red Lizards.

Panik.

Get eaten by rot.

"aite imma call it a night".

So far I don't think I've encountered any major glitches, unless the wanderer passage not showing up is one. I have seen ZERO overseers but considering shoreline and exterior (which means Moon and Pebbles) are currently Void Rot Gooped Up, that seems intentional. I did some how manage to rocket myself across a room at mach 4 like the ghost of Rivulet possessed me for a minute but that happens regardless when I play on console. Pipes get fucky when there's a scavenger in them sometimes.

Pretty interesting so far! And I've not seen any of the new regions and only ONE new creature which was basically just a meth lizard. I have no clue what is happening but I am loving it!

hi spencer lets talk about keegan! 🥰

ummmmm !!! i don’t really think i have much to say about keegan !!!!!!! hmm……. (＾＾＃)

except for the unfortunate fact that i think of him as being a total heartbreaker :(

I DONT KNOW WHY DONT ASK!-

another thing is when the two of you first started going out, and he tried to act like the nonchalant, quiet, and mysterious guy, but failed on like the third date because you mentioned your love for video games. 

now that the two of you are moved in together, he WILL torture you with that voice and those eyes of his.

he’ll sneak up on you and startle you with his deep-toned and booming voice, making sure to get his lips as close to your ear as he physically can. 

he’ll also just stare at you until you notice that he’s staring at you. genuinely scaring you, and giving no context as to why he was staring at you. AND LIKE IT’S INTENTIONAL SO-

toxic loser gamer bf. idk. probably plays overwatch and league/valorant and gets mad and screams into that poor mic of his..

“where’s our GODDAMN lucio?!- w-WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING REIN-“

definitely makes random dad noises…

speaking of dad noises, he has one of those la-z-y boy recliners that has a built in cup holder, back massager, and led lights or some shit

i think he gives off a sort of “older brothers best friend” typa vibe… which ALSO means that he’s definitely a bully and teases the absolute hell out of you.

one day he’ll go to town on some show you seem to enjoy. “isn’t this show for kids?”, “ babe why the fuck does the main character look like that?”, “you’ve seriously watched 3 seasons of this bullshit?-“

and then like the very next day he’ll be like “baby, why aren’t you watching that show you like so much?

MOTHERFUCKER YOU-

also correct me if i’m wrong but isn’t keegan’s love language acts of service? whether it’s big or small, he’ll always want to do something for you!

tying your shoes

opening doors/pulling out chairs

helping you out with the laundry

putting gas in your car

making you a cup of coffee/tea/anything in the morning

helping you out with dinner

taking the time to ask you how you are, if there’s anything you wanna talk about. 

how he loves watching your eyes light up and widen and how your lips will contort into that “stupid little smile of yours” (his words, not mine!), and how you get all excited and your muscles don’t look so tense anymore.

he’s mean but he cares :(

keegan is that person we all know whose literally an endless pit. eating anything and everything in sight (he’s just like me fr).

he will eat tomates whole

and more than likely brags about his “human vacuum” ability to everyone he meets. 

is most likely the person who asks if you’re gonna finish something on your plate you haven’t even touched yet.

speaking of eating everything in sight, when he’s the one making dinner, he’ll serve you 2-3x the amount you usually eat. but he just wants to make sure that you’re okay and eating! (eat your food, people!)

keegan’s just a really crazy silly wacky guy!

he sends you and the guys memes that only he understands.

and he MAKES the memes that only he understands.

the one time you guys can even look his memes without trying to decipher the four color theorem first, they usually look something like this: 

circling back to when i mentioned that he bullies and teases you every chance he gets- he teases you ALL the time, in private AND in public!!!

“babe- it was literally just like that time when you shot milk outta your nose and then you tripped and fell over-” he shouts, in front of the rest of the ghosts

“guys this one time my girl and i were walking somewhere downtown- and- and we saw a lizard scurrying along the ground- and she LITERALLY almost crapped herself-“ 

this guy will almost always automatically bust into a full song & dance routine whenever he hears taylor swift on the radio. 

does he necessarily like taylor? fuucckk no! but IS going to be bussin it down to ‘love song?" fuccckkkk yea!

‘party in the USA?’ you’re curled up on the bed, reading a book, when you’re suddenly transported into a stadium with 50,000 people screaming and the voice of miley cyrus is engulfing your ear canals. minus the fact that you’re not in a stadium, and 50,000 aren’t screaming and jumping around you. it’s keegan and his portable speaker blaring the obnoxiously loud music, while doing backflips n shit on your guys’ shared bed, messing up the sheets and prompting the dogs to come running in right after him.

he’s insane. i love him.

MEDIA MANAGEMENT — JACK HUGHES (23-24 SZN PART 2)

au masterlist

y/ndevils00

liked by john.marino97, jesperbratt, and 226,513 others

y/ndevils00 hello and welcome back to your preseason recap! i’m your host, y/n “dove”, here to give you my totally unbiased and not at all subjective rundown!

as this is preseason, not all of our favorite whores were playing tonight (gotta give the babies a chance!) but among the ones who WERE, we have best friend (or idiot) number 2, sweet baby jesper, akira-shakira, basket bahl, smush, uncle lizard, new-found uncle truffle, and everyone’s favorite babygirl: jacky!

side note: do you guys think Jack was looking around suspiciously in fear of me taking his picture? 👀

we had a pretty uneventful first period until my recently acquired uncle, tyler, scored the first goal of the game! go uncle truffle! he also let uncle lizard borrow his stick and glove! we love besties who share!

we opened second period with (fuck it we) bahl getting a penalty for interference! in my opinion, he didn’t interfere with anything because trash cannot be disrupted… but whatever! (yes i did stand on an empty seat to get that picture over the glass, no i will not be stopped)

halfway through second we had a goalie switch! those are fun! (they are not fun.) and i was caught taking a picture…. that doesn’t happen often, the guys can’t usually find me… i think schmido-torpedo has a y/n-sense. kinda like the sense i have to catch Jack when he’s watching cocomelon (that can also be found on slide 6)

in third period, my sweet sweet baby bratter got the devils ahead by one with his goal! pop off, you sweet swedish fish!

seeing as he went to the matt tkachuk school of hockey, lukey pookie was seen chewing on his mouth guard like LSH and electrical cords 🫶

and finally, i added in a picture of maraschino cherry, because he did good tonight despite being the apparent object of the rags hatred and being targeted! he held his own and even pushed a rags player tonight!

p.s. we scored an empty netter goal as well, getting us a 3-2 win tonight, but the puck flew in on its own for us? who knew that was possible!

Okay got both endings for The Watcher DLC.

Damn, what a fucking mixed bag.

There's a lot to love but it lacks the cohesion and a lot of other touches to actually make it feel good.

A lot of regions feel like they don't reward exploration as much as they should to be honest.

Says a lot that people originally thought portals were RNG because often times they don't feel like they belong. Not to mention the sheer visual clutter of them. They obscure. So much shit. That should normally be easy to see. Necessary to see even!!! I need to see platforms and predators, and not have this wavy effect ruin it! Same goes for those rifts you leave behind sometimes when you use The Watcher's ability.

A lot of the time they're in rooms that feel like in-between or resting areas rather than something that feels like a progression point, like how Karma Gates usually do.

The routing with the portals feels like a mess, and gives me a headache, a headache that became massive through me getting the second ending. I mean the second ending is beautiful but it is admittedly disappointing that you can just walk out after you get it and see the world (still rotten), only having a few Karma Flower patches here and there. They aren't even consistent about it.

Also.

Pretty much every single Aether Ridge region massively peeved me. I do really like Heat Ducts despite all that though, but even still. Heat Ducts is a region you'd ideally want to leave. It wastes both your time and Karma, and that goes for most AR Regions, with stupidly tight platforming and EXTREMELY sparse shelter locations, and the fucking room structure so often including a piece of background graffiti that's a literal arrow pointing towards the direction a shelter is in is just. Honestly fucking insulting really.

However. All of the Wrayk regions are of course, fucking amazing.

Though... as amazing as Stormy Coast is...

They should NOT have split it up. Not in the way they did. Like the base regions size felt fucking PERFECT. Honestly one of the best Modded Regions there is. But in the DLC I think they divided it too much. Blocks off exploration as well really. Crazy how many rooms there are that very clearly used to have pipe entrances but not anymore. A lot of inappropriate dead ends.

Also. For the regions I love, with Verdant Waterways and Signal Spires, they can't help but feel like partial dead ends. Some of the best exploration in the game but it doesn't really go anywhere other than just The Echo.

The Echo is a wonderful character and I love his dialogue but I DO NOT love how like. Sometimes you just get "...", like, what the fuck?

Also the creatures. Mostly bangers, but like

The Barnacle Crabs are just. Bad. Sure you get some fuckin' teenagers online saying "oh I like them they're funny they block pipes isn't that SOOOO FUNNY????" and like. No. They're literally butting heads with a lot of big things about Rain World's design when they do that. Locking the player out of paths like that is awful, ESPECIALLY bad with how insanely linear a lot of these DLC regions are, so it's basically just the officially implemented softlock feature. Well not a softlock. You can die. But like. That's so unsatisfying and so fucking frustrating. Also the Fetid Glen lizards and their poison is bullshit. But "ohhhhhh, you can use a parasitic frog! Uwah~" why the fuck do you have to sacrifice a whole ass food pip just because you squeezed past a predator in classic rain world fashion? Were they trying to make a predator that just punishes you for playing the game? Also one more creature that's not technically a creature: locusts. Fuck Locusts 🖕🖕🖕. I'll leave it at that.

Really this DLC has a lot of great things about it and is still special in quite few ways due to that Rain World touch no other game quite have, but MAN does it fumble a large majority of what it sets out to do, and just leaves me overall... disappointed... mixed bag, yes, but sadly... I just feel mostly exhausted after all that. Yes, I do love a lot of things, but it's like a meal. All the ingredients must come together in a cohesive, well cooked way in order for a meal to be a satisfying one to remember and savor...

Here’s the boi in his 10000/10 human cosplay

fun fact at some point he had cut his hair because it became too long and hard to deal with but ended up giving himself the worst hair cut ever and decided he liked it despite everyone being like “are you sure you don’t want it slightly more even?” When I did the drawing of him in his cursed form I did it with this hair cut in mind

Originally when walking around the human realm Pip would hide his scars/eye colour by either covering them up or with illusion magic but he’s gotten to the point has lost every fuck he has to give because people already find him off putting and uncanny anyways.

He also started working at the GHS museum as an assistant curator because he’s interested mostly in finding out wtf was the deal of Caleb, Evelyn and Philip, as well as to find any knowledge he can on the portal door but he also does it because he likes sneaking the money he gets paid into Camila’s purse as a repayment for everything because she didn’t accept it when he tried to give it to her upfront because even though she really appreciated it she didn’t want Pip to feel as if he’s in debt but Pip was too stubborn and just decided to do it the sneaky way, Camila knows this and is playing a 4d chess game where she uses his money to get things she thinks he would buy himself and then gives it to him as presents.

Also Ngl Pip hates his job with a passion because Jacob just assumes that because Pip doesn’t talk much but is somewhat neutral on him that it’s an invitation to start randomly spew out conspiracy theories every time he sees Pip but because Pip honestly doesn’t have enough knowledge on humans and their culture, he doesn’t know that Jacob is crazy so he just puts up with it and is just like “huh neat, the human government is full of extraterrestrial lizards? What a delightful government :)” much to Jacob’s dismay.

But Pip doesn’t really start hating Jacob with a passion until Jacob shows him the video of Vee almost getting dissected and Pip almost losses his shit and has to drag himself away from mauling Jacob because at that point Pip and Vee have bonded enough through their similar backgrounds of being horrific magic experiments as well as just spending time together that Pip already considers them another younger sibling.

The colours he’s wearing in the first ref picture sure look familiar and may or may not be hinting something traumatic that’s going to happen :)

oh wow what's this? an GH au masterpost link?? crazy

[brainicusrotticus]

after killing noctilucent’s body to save vace, sol is an absolute nuisance to the night guards of the colony.

exhibit 1: sleeping in the communal barracks after nightmares because it’s comforting

person guarding the garrison tries not to freak out when the doc is walking with intent toward the barracks

(because the DOCTOR being that fucking focused going anywhere? usually not good)

“yo, doc, need help?”

for a second sol looks to walk straight past and in, not even acknowledging them

and then stops.

and backs up a step.

and bobs a finger in their direction.

(and doesn’t look up.)

“…you on watch until breakfast?”

“uh… yeah? er, yes sir.”

(he finally looks up.)

(oh. he looks like shit.)

“i’m sleeping in your bunk. if i’m still there when you’re done, just throw something at me.”

and he goes right in without another word.

and he is still there when they get off watch.

but they’re not going to wake the doc, are you nuts? vace would kill them.

as they’re standing awkwardly beside the bunk, a roll of socks nails sol in the head from across the room

(it was nem)

sol crawls, grumbling, like a goddamn lizard out of the bunk, across the floor, and into the one immediately adjacent while its occupant is still sitting on it, putting on boots

occasionally including bed sharing with nem or vace

nem is game, always

willing to play big spoon and envelope sol as much as he needs

not super jumpy, so sol can literally crawl right into her bed without waking the whole barracks

(she prefers a slight heads up, though, which is fair)

once forgot to tell sol she’d swapped bunks with someone else

the next morning, sol makes certain to reassure his accidental victim that screaming is a perfectly good fear response

no, it doesn’t matter if it was really high-pitched and woke everyone up

if it had been a real threat that would be the ideal outcome anyway

vace is… not the cuddling type.

especially not so soon in his getting better arc.

but sol knows that and does not actually crawl into his bed

because he’s a fucking gremlin, he crawls under it.

vace does not realize he has a monster under the bed until the fourth time it happens.

(condolences to the poor bastards who watch the doctor casually scoot out from under a bed the next morning and are immediately sworn to silence on it)

because sol has another nightmare and jolts awake.

right into the underside of vace’s bed.

sol is cussing and bleeding, vace is awake and foaming at the mouth and has pulled a plaspistol, everyone else has just learned that vace keeps a plaspistol under his pillow, it’s a whole mess

exhibit b: unauthorized night walks

sol straight up tries to leave in the middle of the night like it’s no biggies.

woe upon the poor soldier who had to try and figure out what to do with that one.

“sorry, doc, we’re locked up for the night.”

“how much to get through?”

blink. blink.

“…did you just offer to bribe me?”

ding. 200 credits received from: solaniac.

“that enough to ignore any screaming you hear for the next two hours?”

“…have a nice walk, doc.”

(two hours later, she’s very certain 200 credits is not enough to make up for those screams.)

(next time, she’s charging fucking double.)

exhibit three: sol just hanging out on the walls in the middle of the night

literally just climbs straight up and finds somewhere to sit.

intentionally waits for a gap because he just doesn’t want to answer questions right now.

almost gets shot by a very startled soldier.

rhett has to make sol promise to tell soldiers if he’s going on the wall. it’s a safety issue.

(he has to make him promise three times. the third time is a full sit-down, “if you do this again i’m going to have to assume you’re hoping to get shot and report it to instance and congruence” talk, before sol finally actually listens.)

he’ll just chill in one of the lookout towers, silent. staring off into the wilderness.

sometimes he looks particularly haunted about it, and the soldiers have to shake the urge to talk to him.

(one time, a soldier notices he’s not just looking haunted, he’s physically shaking. when sol doesn’t respond to questions, they send someone to get vace.)

(vace holds sol’s hand in his metal one until sol comes back to himself, and sits with sol until sunrise.)

one time, a soldier switched lookouts at midnight and forgot to tell his replacement that sol was there.

she didn’t notice for hours. sol didn’t realize she didn’t know.

she was scared shitless when sol coughed. sol was scared shitless when she pulled a gun on him. rhett filled a tub with water, dunked his whole head inside, and screamed for a full minute.

@midwestmade29

The door clicked and I watched her uneasiness under my gaze. “Love” what an ironic term, she knew that wasn’t her name. I walked towards her, she wanted to pretend she was in control of this meeting . She bumped into the sofa “Sit” the word simply a command, one that I knew she’d comply with, she was always so obedient. “ What brings you here? Truly, because I already saw the old man, the twink and the lizard around the corner. They don’t trust you, the question is do I trust you .” I haven’t sat down I like the feeling of towering over her the way her head tilts up at me. My eyes lingered over her, still pretty but now in a pathetic bratty way.

“Stay out of their business.” Her voice contained no confidence, her nerves of being alone with me showing. “ You made a stupid move choosing a father over your Daddy.

Oh, Sweetheart you went to the immediate threat, you missed the long threat by a mile. You had a choice when we parted, you chose unwisely. You’ve never seen the big picture, that’s why you needed me to think for you. Since you made your choice I can tell you what you missed. The patriarchy was/ is an extension of the Elite. “ slow recognition crossing her face “ Had you been the clever girl I thought I had thought you to be you would’ve aligned yourself with them. Jack is handsome enough, Okada exotic enough, Nick passionate enough and Matt well Matt is powerful enough and you always had a thing for leaders didn’t you. “ I squatted down in front of her caressing her cheek, “You can’t make that move now because they wouldn’t trust you, you’d look foolish and like a dumb slut.” my thumb running over her bottom lip. “Unless you want to double cross the Patriarchy, I could help you look brilliant. I could help make you powerful in front of the camera and all you have to be is mine.” I stood as her breath caught.

“Yours? That’s it, you can get me out of this. It can be like before.” her voice questioning my intention. The thing was I wasn’t sure why she ended it, I thought we were happy solid even. “Sweet girl , you’re the one who ended things remember?” even as soft as my voice was, she put her head in her hands, and whispered “ I thought you’d chase after me. I thought that you would beg for me to come back. I thought that you would fight for me. I never wanted to leave you it was stupid and foolish.”

I sat down beside her, “So that’s a yes then?” I opened my arms to her and she leaned into my chest and I wrapped my arms around her. My sweet girl was back. “Stay with me tonight?” I whisper in her hair. I hear a muffled yes.

She leaves my locker room yelling at me about Patriarchy business and I laugh about a woman running the patriarchy. I gave her my room key and we left separately, as to not raise suspicions.

I was surprised to find her there waiting for me a look of determined desire on her face . Standing only in my favorite lingerie her hair up curls framing her face, her lips the prettiest shade of gloss. “ Sweet girl” my words cut off when she kissed me,her fight for control was cute but I wanted to see where she wanted this to go. She pressed me against the door her hands reaching for the hem of my shirt, I raised my arms helping her. “I’ve missed you, Jay.” Her lips trailing down my body, as her lips wrapped around my nipple pulling it into her mouth. “Sweetheart, you’re playing a dangerous game.” my voice fighting for control as a moan fell from my lips as. I watched her drop to her knees in front of me. Her mouth kissed down my abs as she reached for the waistband of my pants biting the last muscle before soothing it with her tongue. “Fuck, just remember I’m going to pay you back sweetheart.” The look from under her lashes was enough to undo me. Her hands pushed down my pants and boxers as my cock sprang free as she licked her lips. She kissed the tip before sliding her tongue along my shaft taking me in deep then pulling out slowly. Her tongue teasing every inch. She grasped the base of my shaft then took me a little farther into her mouth, dragging her tongue along the ridges as she drew me out slowly. She took my full length into her mouth, and my knees almost buckled. She let her tongue do incredible, magical things along my shaft as she drew me in and out a little faster this time. "Please..." I managed, she had me back in her mouth before l'd finished saying the word, easing me in and out of her mouth in a delicious rhythm. I felt the waves building inside me. “Sweetheart, I’m going to come in that pretty little mouth. If you don’t stop.” She hollowed her cheeks as she nodded. My fingers in her hair, my control snapping, as I set the pace. Her mascara started to smudge as she moaned around me . “That’s it, my dirty girl taking me so deep. Fuck I’ve missed your mouth. Nobody has ever sucked my cock the way you do. So enthusiastic, loving every inch. Always taking everything I give you. “ my release coming hard and fast as I felt her swallow as she continued to work me through my release. For the first time in a longtime my knees damn near buckled the door supporting me as she sat back on her knees .

I took a moment to admire her perfect breasts, the gentle swell of her hips, and her strong legs. I offered my hand before turning her so that her back was against the door. The shocked little gasp that fell from her lips as my girl felt my fingers good through her core. “There’s something undeniably sexy about these panties the way they leave you bare to me so I can do this” my fingers teasing her clit. “ Did sucking my cock get you this wet? “ positioning her leg around my hip opening her to me, my cock teasing her entrance. “ Or did my dirty girl like reversing the roles my body quivering under your touch. “ I slid my cock through her wetness as she moaned. “If that’s it then show me how you want to fuck me. Come on it’s in your eyes. I’ll play this game of yours even if it kills me. Just remember when the sun rises in the morning you’re mine.” She moans at the loss of contact as she walks me back to the club chair in the living room of the suite. “Jay, sit” her voice soft and firm. I sat eyeing her , knowing the encouragement that she needed. “ Stop thinking and act. There’s nothing I would ever deny you.” as she straddled my hips her hand reaching to guide me to the sweetest exquisite torture as she took me in to her, the moan that fell from her lips when I touched the deepest part of her nearly lose it. She put my hands on her hips , as she undid the delicate ribbon that opened her breasts to me. Her hands in my hair as she began to move and lowered my mouth to one of her hard buds. My mouth met the pace that she set, sucking and pulling my mouth mimicking the motions of her cunt as she squeezed and milked me. “Jay, you’re everything. Fuck, please. Jay please.” my hands itching to move knowing what she needed but not moving until she moved them for me. “Jay please” her whimper nearly breaking my resolve, I could fuck her, I could stand up with her take her to the bed and drive deep into her, never missing a beat but she needed this. She gripped my wrist as she moved my hand to her clit, and raising my head from her breast as she looked me in the eye her eyes blown dark with lust. Before kissing me, I felt her legs tighten and she began rocking harder and faster against me. She was using me and I had never felt more powerful in my life. “That’s it fuck me, fuck me like you mean it. Show me, how you dominate me.” Her moans louder now. “Show me how no body could ever fuck me the way you can . That I was a fool for not chasing you. That’s it sweetheart. “ her building climax making her pull me in closer to her as she buried herself in my neck. “ Jay , fuck Jay please Jay” as my fingers moved faster as she bounced on me before shattering her release racking her body as I felt it on my thighs. She went from impossibly wet to me sliding in and out her deep and fast I moved my hands to her hips and began fucking up into her at a wild pace nothing between us had ever been hotter. She held on to me as I felt my cock twitch inside of her. Though her second orgasm was right there. “I want to cum so badly. Fill you up soon full. This is all for you sweet girl. My release is yours.” I’d never given this level of control over to a woman. She repositioned her self looking down at me as she whispered “come for me Jay” and with that my release was hers hard and deep that her second orgasm came in a cry of pleasure. She coaxed me through my release, my head buried in her chest as she held me there, allowing her to take care of me. When our breathing returned to normal, I picked her up and placed her on the bed, before getting the warm washcloth, as I walked back in easing her legs apart her sleepy sated voice whispered “mine”.
