hello darling :)
can’t stop thinking about rcb w a daddy kink and i think we all need that in our lives tbh lol
okay but why is that 100% his biggest kink and why do i love it??? 🤭 i agree, this is very needed. thank you for the request!!! 💋💋
“I think I rather like that.”
(Rivals) Rupert Campbell-Black x Reader
Suggestion by this sweet anon 🫶🏽 / Rupert discovers, halfway through your night, that he has a new kink…
18+ FANFIC / SMUT from the offset! Short work. Reader character aged at 21. Thank you for your request ml 🩷
Candles dripping hot wax onto your darkened oak chest of drawers beside you, and casting an amber glow across your bare skin, Rupert leans over you. His had his right hand cupping your tender breast, his lips depositing compassionate kisses across your neck and was thrusting into you slowly, savouring every second. Whilst you spent many occasions fucking each other senseless after a few too many whiskies, you both took more pleasure from your intense, intimate sessions such as tonight. You both moaned simultaneously in euphoria, breathing heat onto each others skin. Rupert’s steady thrusting pushed nail-bitingly against your g-spot as you pursed your lips to speak.
“Fuck, daddy. You feel so good.” You whimper, sharpened fingernails scraping down the length of his muscular back. Rupert halted his motion for a moment, arms shaking and blinking at you with a bewildered. “What did you just call me?” He quizzed, grinning at you with softened cerulean orbs. “Oh, umm… I called you Daddy. Is that okay?” You ask, keeping his hand pressed firmly on your tit. “Yes, I think I rather like that actually. You’re feeling rather naughty tonight, aren’t you?”
Gripping his wrist and moving it from your breast, you relocate his hand to your throat and he instinctively squeezes, gently constricting your blood flow and bringing a delicate glimmer to your eyes. “Keep going, daddy.” You beg, and he happily obliges as you spread your legs further apart. Pushing his entire length inside you, you wince faintly as you feel him stretch you out. Gyrating your hips towards him — begging to be fucked harder - he increases his tempo and pulses a gentle squeeze on your throat again. “Yes, daddy. Like that. Give it to me, daddy.” You groan and watch Rupert’s sultry expression.
“Tell your daddy how much you want it, angel.” He grunts.

Match Review: Manchester United 2-1 Brentford
So, I commentate for Stretford Paddock FC (go see us on youtube and Twitch) and we had a dogshit first half where we went behind and came back to win. Copy and paste here for United, a proper game of two halves, but the second half... we DO know how to ball.
Viva Garnachooooo. Fair play to Erik Ten Hag. He stuck with Alejandro and Marcus, albeit swapping them wings, and it paid dividends. Garna looked potent, and Rashford's lack of driving in was replaced with proper wing play and an excellent cross for Garnacho's expert finish to equalise things.
We all wanted our front 4 to fire, so pair 1 popped off and pair 2 did too; Bruno with a cheeky backheel/flick thing off a driven Eriksen through ball, which put Hojlund through into the Brentford box. A touch, a second correction (baited breath), and a luscious chip over Flekken to secure the win. A glorious goal in glorious sunshine.
The frustration with United is that we were so slow and ponderous in the first half, and then just decided? to play better football. We're our own worst enemy. That could be a mental issue though, and means our recruitment should go for a few more nutcases/unshakeables.
Speaking of which, special mention must go to this absolute fucking unit. Matthijs De Ligt. This man had a great game, and while it's controversial that Brentford scored during the hoohah that was him being treated off the pitch... we're as much to blame for not having strategies to deal with that as the officials are.
He has had his wobbly moments at United, but generally speaking he has been very solid in that RCB position and a definitive upgrade on Maguire. That's a little unfair when Harry has also played fairly well this season, but he is a LCB with a weak left foot that then goes RCB and isn't happy with it. Classic United. Either way, Matthijs is big, faster than he looks, brave, and have very good awareness (generally). You can see why he gets made captain everywhere he goes, and if you want proof of his passion, go see his reaction when Brentford score. Walks away from treatment to bollock a ball off into the sidings in frustration.
Still, a vital three points secured against a manager potentially gunning for a job with us. That puts us 11th behind Bournemouth, with the Cherries beating 10-man Arsenal 2-0 hahahahahaha. Ah.
Next up, a shithouse of an away trip in the Europa League to Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce, ft. Fred and Amrabat. Yay...

One of the things getting me about this whole Arc 19 shit is like.... I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around why Cauldron and RCB getting outed like this was so important to the story... and why it had to happen like this. It's just... no. And like, the only thing I can think of, apart from a 'let's make shit worse for everyone' vibe that seems to be endemic to the work, is that the big egg on her face and the PRTs face etc over this is why Tagg and Alexandria did such a boneheaded thing as the attack on Skitter at Arcadia (also, I really fucking hope we get a good answer as to how turning Taylor in like that actually improved the numbers, Dinah) to get a win, but like...
Compared to the disaster that was the outing of Cauldron, etc, beating Skitter is... nothing? At all? If the PRT/Protectorate wants a win, go destroy the Machine Army. Destroy Nilbog. Kill a bunch of warlords in Africa. There's like, much bigger ways to try and salvage your rep. Even if the capture of skitter had been a smashing success, it's a minor thing on the grand scale.

Ranking Of The Best Mods For Ravenfield
Hello my name is marco and i like to play the game called Ravenfield, and i created this blog to rank the best mods from the steam workshop to play in ravenfield game, all this mods i have tested and compared with another mods from the same class and i had chosen as the very best, so you gonna save a lot of time by picking up the mods that i am recommending, lets go to the list:
All this mods you can find on Steam community workshop or download from another game websites that storage mods for download.
VEHICLES
Jeep slot - None
Explanation: i dont think a jeep without weapons could help my gameplay, it only increase the pollution of the battlefield and consume performance from the pc, so better cut if off
MG Jeep slot - EQ2050 PACK(CWP) by Lezvin
I think this is the best truck for troop transport including an MG seat that turn 360 degrees araound, this chinese truck seems like american humvee, nice design, nice health, support 5 passenger including the pilot, and the Ai (Bost) play very well using this vehicle, machine gunner is very accurate.
Quad slot - LKX 250 by c2holic_second
I dont know you but i dont like original Quad, instead it i do prefer this motorcicle that seems like that one from PUBG, nice design, nice sound effect and the rump passenger shoot while pilot drive it through the battlefield, very noice.
Tank slot - SA-9 Gaskin by Mr_2005
I use this SPAA in the tank slot because some maps do not have APC slots and i think an SPAA is more important than a common tank, this is the very best SPAA in the ravenfield steam workshop, trust me, i have tested many other SPAA, the other ones keep focusing in ground target or simply ignore important air targets, they fail in accuracy and damage also, what make it non sense for a anti-air vehicle, this one is the most deadly SPAA, defeat the very fast fighter jets and powerfull helicoters fastly, definig who command the skies, meantime it floats in the water also, please use it to protect your airspace. (Overpowered SPAA) Obs: other great quality is the fact that modder let you to use this vehicle in another slots, so you can calibrate it.
APC Slot - C1 Ariete PSO by SouthernWolf67
believe me you will not find another tank better than this one from the ravenfield workshop, i have tested many many others, all that fail in healt, optimization, fire range and accuracy, but not this Ariete, this is the most accurate tank that you will find after the steelraven update that make bots fire while piloting resulting most tank mods to be worse in accuracy, luckly that one continue to be accurate, and you still win a very nice design, very nice optimization, yes it play well in potato pc and firing effects are very realistic, please use this tank in your gameplay and you will not regret, note that i prefer to set this tank in APC slot, because as i say before, i give priority to SPAA in tank slot.
Attack Helicopter - MIL MI-28 HAVOC by Mr_2005
And the best award as the best helicopter goes to Havoc from Mr_2005 modder, i have tested a lot of helicoter mods and this one wins because the rain of rockets that he make above the enemies, the machine gunner have explosive projectiles and he fires at long range, what make this helicopter to be the most agressive chopper from the workshop, i only think the health could be bigger following the soviet doctrine of to make the vehicles the more resistent possible so it could last longer in the battlefield, hear that Mr ? make this a flying monster by increasing the health plox ?! second place goes to WZ-10 by Ninjagrape
I just want steelraven release an update to improve bot skills in piloting and flying with helicopters, even if it’s the best mod, bots are still very slow to fly and don’t know how to do evasive maneuvers, which makes helicopters ‘’easy preys‘’ and last little in the battlefield, steelraven please make bots more hardcore when piloting attack helicopters thanks.
Transport Helicopter slot - None
Explanation: i dont think a transport helicopter could help my gameplay, we already have jeep and boats for troop transport, so why we need more transport vehicles ? just to pollute the skies and nothing more, so i prefer to not use a transport helicopter.
Attack Plane slot - MIG - 25 Foxbat by Mr_2005
You will believe me when i said that this is the very very best attack plane in that shitty workshop because i have fucking tested all the other attack planes you can imagine, what makes this plane special is the fact that it have only one weapon that is a tracking missile, so bots dont spend time firing machine guns or wired guided missiles that always miss the target, no bullshit in this plane make it very focused only in what matters: air superiority, it fires on sight and do not spend time letting the enemy survive, what makes it a very deadly plane, he fire ground targets also using tracking missiles, it never miss the target, if you dont like this one, keep with YF-23 by Lezvin that comes in second place or F-35B by noob kut ku comming in third place, they are overpowered jet fighters too, but they spend time making some bullshit as i said before.
Bomber plane slot - A6 Intruder by Mr_2005
If youre looking for a bomber plane to do some ground attack in vehicles targets this is the very best, he make rain fire in ground targets dropping some napalm bombs and raining a lot of rockets, some of the other bomber planes keep spending time flying around the targets and firing absolutely nothing i dont know why, this not happen with this bomber, he is always in action putting some terror in the heart of enemy soldiers in the floor, the fire effects are very impressive, much better than default explosion effects used by another bomber planes, there is a second seat for co-pilot and it does a lot of damage by firing guided missiles, which further increases the lethality of this plane.
Attack Boat slot - Silurus-Class Fast Attack Boat by noob kut ku
All we that play ravenfield and have a potato pc was sad because the only good attack boat that we had in the past was the RCB-90 from urban warfare modder, but saddly that boat was very laggy, so noob kut ku make my day when lauched this attack boat what is very similar, theres no bullshit like mortar that you can find in the original attack boat or in that piece of shit called vanilla boat, instead it we have a strong machine gun with explosive bullets that makes infantry be thrown away and a motherfuckin rocket that blows anything leaving a smoke trail behind , amazing boat, thank you very much noob, he fires you even if youre in a helicopter, no escape.
RHIB slot - Original
Machine Gun, Anti-tank and Anti-air Turrets - None
Why i need machine gun turret if my bots is already armed with the best weapons they can have ? why i need a anti-tank turret if my bots have decent rocket laucher ? why i need anti-air turret if i already have a SPAA that cover much more territory, so i dont use turrets to avoid the ground pollution in the battlefield
WEAPONS FOR BOTS (A.i)
First of all i deselect all the weapons because i am very carefully with what weapons my bots are using, cause they have worse skills and worse accuracy using the wrongs weapons, so lets pick the weapons carefully here.
If you agree with me, so you think that Hard dificulty mode from ravenfiel still is easy, one way to increase the dificulty beyond the normal is giving the right weapons for your bots, they play better using the right weapons.
Eagle Main Assault Rifle: [Project WW3] M4A1 (1st version) By Mellamomellamo
I like this weapon because it remember me my old times of call of duty modern warfare series, and because bot have long range firing using it, so is the main assault rifle of my eagle team, in my test A.i could shot at long range using this weapon, what did not happen with a lot of another weapons.
Eagle Anti-Tank: Dagger (Original)
Raven Main Assault Rifle: AKM by SAVANY
This is the very best AKM that you can define to your enemy team, in my test bots have the longest range and the most accuracy while shootting with this AKM you will have much more challenge in your gameplay, i dont know why but bots play better using this assault rifle than using the defautl assault rifles, strange but luckly, the bursts are usually accurate and do not spread as much as in mods of other assault rifles (Overpowered AKM)
Raven Anti-Tank: Dagger (Original)
Weapons for Both A.i teams Eagle and Raven
Sniper rifles: SL Defender (Original) and Recon LRR
(i dont know why but in my tests, bots only play well using default sniper rifles, so dont give another sniper rifle mods to your bots or they will play more badly)
Close quarters: TTI Benelli M4 by suzushiInfantry
Another weapon that increases the game dificulty, bots they like to use this shotgun a lot, and the shots are very accurate even in a medium range, in close range so they are very quick on the trigger, you will die several times due to the lethality of this shotgun (Overpowered shotgun)
Infantry support: M249 Saw (only) - Urban Warfare: Machine Guns by Laureen Keqing
Don't ask me why but bots become extremely deadly when put their hands on M249 SAW that belong to this pack (i only recommend it from this pack), M249 SAW give to your bots high range and letal accuracy, sometimes they hit your a lot of times at once, seems like bots are using hack when they use M249, and it have a nice shooting effect also, if you want to increase dificulty of your game, select M249 to your enemies. (Overpowered machinegun)
Grenades: Model 1914 Grenade Pack Remaster by Ninjagrape
this is the only hand grenade that i like, why ? because it send everyone to the air when explodes, and it make my game more funny. (Overpowered grenade)
Equipment: The rest of things i use original, medic bag, ammo bag, sabre, skins, i dont like to use unuseful mods to keep filling my game with stupid mods that can decrease my gaming performance and polluting my scenario, so this things i prefer to keep original.

Hey I’d love to hear more about your thoughts and head cannons on desi tony Stark :)
this is me just projecting onto tony that's all this headcanon is
/
Tony is a huge Shah Rukh fan, so he always sends him a Starkphone ahead of time
As he became more comfortable with the Avengers, he started wearing cotton kurtas around the Tower more often, because they're just so comfortable
He will eat anything with paneer in it. Anything. Except pizza, because some things should just not be mixed
He doesn't have the attention span to sit through films, and tends to stick to 20-minute episode tv shows, which is why it baffles Natasha that he can comfortably sit through multiple bolly films
He once fucked Hrithik Roshan
He says "chee" instead "yuck"
He isn't strictly religious, but he does have a small mandir in the Tower, and he goes there sometimes to meditate and calm down. The only one who knows is Bruce, because it helps him not Hulk out
As a kid he used to be very self conscious about his dark skin, but as an adult he regularly and loudly donates to movements that protest against products like "Fair and Lovely" and "Fair and Handsome"
on the rare occasions that he opens up about his mother, he calls her "ammijaan"
on that vein, his preferred pet name for a significant other is "jaan" or "meri jaan", or sometimes "jaanemann"
there's an entire shelve in every single kitchen dedicated to maggi, thats padlocked
his accent is rarely evident, but significantly more pronounced around Rhodey
he's trained in classic carnatic music
he regularly gives talks at IIT, and there's a Stark Internship Scheme that selects three kids every single year and grooms for a career at SI
He also has a scholarship that sends children from disadvantaged backgrounds to MIT
He's one of the only openly bisexual indian prominent figures
He supports RCB, and one of his most prized possessions is a signed cricket bat from Virat Kohli
/
this is all ive got for now, hope you liked it!!
#my writing#desi!tony stark#indian!tony stark#brown! tony stark#he fucked hrithik because physically speaking: hrithik is the closest to cevans#I won't be taking any more questions about this at this time

I was reading your fic repairs retrofits and I noticed you had the lawyer keisai in it and I thought he seemed familiar and realized he was in ironclad as well. I thought that was pretty cool and was just wondering how that came about between the two different fics and authors?
I was kind of on a “let’s just do as many crossovers as possible” bender for some reason at the time (the Swamp!Asami is a slightly different RCB!Asami, for example) and that one was...not a great decision? I mean I was already friendly with the author of Ironclad, but looking back that’s probably the weirdest chapter I ever actually published (ch7 Debacle notwithstanding) and is a large reason why these revisions are taking place at all. They’re slow, I know, and I’m sorry to everyone waiting (It’s inching along!) but yeah he is getting written right the fuck out.
He doesn’t make sense, that entire sequence doesn’t make sense, and three things needed to happen in that chapter: we needed to see exactly how dangerous Spirit Weapons were even with the UDS, Korra needed to decide to torture Zaheer, and Artana needed to give Asami an ultimatum. Everything else is...nonsense.
I appreciate your comment, I really do, but yeah, that’s...it’s bad, dude. It’s really, really badly written and just...bad. Blech.

Isn’t it just blue comedy? Here’s what Roy Chubby Brown says/does
This content contains quotes that use violent racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, Islamophobia, anti-semitism. It was all collected from one brief morning’s internet search, after which I couldn’t stomach collecting any more. His content is widely available online, feel free to conduct your own further research.
Source: The North West Evening Mail, October 2016:
‘Christopher Oliver, who suffered a stroke two years ago at the age of 36, now lives with profound disabilities… Mr Oliver, said: “I’m learning to come to terms with the consequences of my stroke and disability and being out in public again. We’d had tickets to see Roy Chubby Brown for months.
“As he came on stage, he was being heckled by the whole audience but, after being on stage for a while, I heckled him again and he replied with, ‘I’ll get to you in a minute, you’re the one sat with the handicapped people. Now that’s true, I was sat among wheelchair users, people with spina bifida, the learning disabled and he shouldn’t have come out with it.”
He added: “I’m coming to terms with getting out and about after my stroke and mingling with people again and I’m using a mobility scooter and this kind of comment really puts you down.” He added that Brown’s act had become increasingly vulgar and that his use of racial epithets was outrageous and unjustified.
He said: “If he didn’t use the n-word once, he used it a thousand times. I don’t know how he can get away with it when members of the public are being banged up for it.…
Sandra Baines, manager of The Forum, said that Brown would not be returning to the venue in the future. She said: “Mr Oliver was clearly upset about comments made at the��event. He spoke to a member of our team mid-way through the performance and was offered a full refund if he wanted to leave. He chose to watch the rest of the show and we have in any case refunded the cost of his ticket. There are no plans to bring Roy Chubby Brown back to The Forum."’

‘He went straight into a routine about Ebola (which he called, perhaps on purpose, "Eboli"). "We've got AIDS from West Africa; we've got malaria from West Africa; we've got pneumonia from West Africa and now we've got Eboli. Apparently the Africans got it because they were eating bats. No wonder them n*ggers have got big lips!"
…One of the lowest moments from the gig: "Did you read in the papers about those Muslims burning poppies on Remembrance Day? Sick cunts. The guy who does my gardening's a Muslim, and he observed the two-minute silence. After I whacked him with a fucking shovel!"
It's not even a joke, just an image: a scene of slave-plantation-style brutalism. It's basically an incitement to racial violence. And it got a round of applause.
After about half an hour in, I began to worry. He'd covered "n*ggers," "ch*nks," and "fucking Muslims," but not us Indians. When was it coming? Maybe he liked us after all? Was he leaving us out because we're hardworking and contribute so much to British cultural life, with doctors and cuisine and Sanjeev Bhaskar? Then: "There's an old man who lives alone next door, and we were a bit worried because we hadn't see him since Christmas. The postman came round and said there was a fucking awful smell coming from his letterbox. So I called the police. They knocked down his door and our worst fears were confirmed. He'd gone away: P*kis had moved in!"
... Once the transgressive thrill of hearing "p*ki" and "n*gger" had dulled, even his fans started to appear fidgety and bored. Towards the end a girl got up from the front row and went to the toilet. "I'll be seeing you later, split-arse," said Chubby, cheekily, and everyone laughed.’

Match Review: Porto 3-3 Manchester United
I swear to god, this team...
Okay, the positives. I'll try to be objective...
Erik Ten Hag changed his tactics slightly. He made better use of Casemiro and Eriksen and toned the high press down to avoid such an exposed midfield. It looked more comfortable.
Rashford scored again, putting him 5th in United's goalscorers in Europe of all-time. His goal came from hugging the left touchline and driving at the RB, before jinking in past him + RCB and squeezing a shot in at near post past the keeper. Classic Rashford, we love to see it.
Rasmus Hojlund also scored on his first start since injury, with a lovely run through the lines to squeeze in another shot/goal at the keeper's near post. So unlucky for Diogo Costa, who is a top goalie.
Amad Diallo is so creative. We lose so much when he's rotated out of the team.
Andre Onana continued to be a great shot-stopper and kept Porto from scoring many more than they did, despite their rapid pace and breaking on United repeatedly. Stoic.
Harry 'Slabhead' Maguire delivered some salvation in the form of a late equaliser to spare blushes. "Time running out on Manchester Unitedddddd... they've equalised!" Despite coming on as a late sub, despite formerly being the captain and now having Martinez, De Ligt and Yoro ahead of him, the big lad still shows up and gives effort. He's not an amazing player, but fair play he's shown proper resilience and professionalism in the last year or so.
Cool. Now for the shitshow...
Eriksen has to be used as a 10 and only a 10. He's fine tackling higher up the field, but defending his own box he's a liability, and at his age + with his heart issues... we need to be moderating how much exertion he's doing. Yes, I know he's a professional and has experts on hand to guide him, but the point still stands. His creativity and consistency in passing and decisions in the final third is SO good that it's a waste to have him as an 8 in a three across the middle.
De Ligt had a bad game. He wasn't able to jump and intercept the cross in the build up to Porto's first, he was beaten in the air by Samu Omorodion for Porto's equaliser, and he lost Samu again for goal number three. Hopefully just an off-day at the office, but it was a very bad day.
Martinez was at fault for Porto's first and third goals. For number one, Mazraoui and De Ligt were beaten in the air, which is disappointing of Matthijs but he was running and looking over his shoulder. Onana saves the header but the rebound falls to no11 - Pepe. Martinez was goal-side from him but ran to block a gap and never returned to his rightful position, and as soon as the deflected save happened it was a done thing. For number three, Martinez doesn't respect Pepe's pace and gets left a stride behind him. Cue pass, assist, goal.
Dalot. He's not a LB. He inverts to cover for the fact he can't overlap with any comfort, and that makes him a 2nd DM at times but that causes confusion both in midfield and at LB. I don't believe it's coincidence that Martinez looks a shadow of his former self with the confusion around positional responsibilities and duties when Dalot is floating around like a fart in the breeze. He also could have done more to put his head in the way of the assist for goal no2.
United were 2-0 up after 20 minutes and 2-2 just 14 minutes after that. Then 3-2 down minutes into the second half. HOW is any manager supposed to succeed with that level of focus ffs? That's player mentals at fault, because I've seen these players do better and be braver.
Ten Hag isn't innocent either though. A half-time substitution of the ELECTRIC Marcus Rashford, goal to his name, for Garnacho. Why? He had their RB on toast. He had many more minutes of terrorising João Mário. We suspected injury at the time, but then afterwards Erik said it was rotation/rest for Sunday vs Villa. PLAY THE FUCKING MATCH IN FRONT OF YOU. Christ almighty. I understand rest, but we're early in the season and confidence is everything. A winning team will play better vs Villa than a rested team. A confident Marcus Rashford will play better and be more feared after 2 or 3 goals vs Porto than a rested Rashford.
Stats tell the story. 14 shots, 7 on target for Porto. That's poor from United. In contrast, TWENTY NINE shots for United and only 8 on target. Jesus christ, lads. The fuck was that? Cut out the speculative efforts and actually work proper chances.
On this note, the Garnacho Greed. Alejandro had a chance off a Mazraoui shot in the 62nd minute. He shot at an awfully acute angle and did nothing, but he had the time and space to go back outwards and look to pass or cross and try again. Low percentage shots vs recycling possession is something he needs to learn more about, else his decision making will cost him that dream Real Madrid move in future.
Bruno fucking Fernandes. 2nd red card in two games. I don't see this one getting rescinded. I sympathise with the fact that he has the right to go for the ball, but it was chin/jaw height. You have to know the risks of a defender or keeper putting their head on that ball, and on a yellow card too... it's just very silly and poor intelligence. Hopefully a game or two out will sort Bruno out mentally because at the moment he's an issue.
Hojlund apologised after the game for a social media post making light of his goal - a touch insensitive after the draw and a frustrating performance, but he's a young lad and shit happens. So long as he keeps scoring, I'll not mind.
Next up then an away trip to the mighty Villa. I'm only half joking. Jhon Duran at it again midweek to secure a 1-0 win at home to Bayern. A draw on Sunday will be a good result for United, as depressing as that is, but maybe, just maybe, our shit form can lull them into a false sense of security? I doubt it.
