Summary: the six most prominent moments in Joe’s relationship with Y/N Y/L/N

AN: a little combo of regular fic and an SMAU fic!! My first Joe Burrow fic too so there’s a lot of firsts going on lol

She’s a long one!!! And I hate the ending but oh well

One.

It was a sunny Tuesday afternoon at the Bengals’ practice facility, and Joe Burrow was seated next to the host of a Barstool podcast.

He didn’t do these interviews often but with the pre-season in full swing, he had a couple on his schedule. After answering a slew of football-related questions, the session took a lighter turn when the host decided to inject some fun into the conversation.

“Alright, Joe,” the host said, his voice playful. “We’ve been talking about your game on the field, but what about your game off it? Who would you say is your celebrity crush?”

Joe leaned back in his chair, scratching his neck thoughtfully. For a moment, he seemed like he was genuinely debating his answer. Then, a small, almost shy smile spread across his face.

“Celebrity crush?” he repeated. “I guess... Y/N Y/L/N from Outer Banks. She’s got this whole vibe—talented, gorgeous, and just really cool. Yeah, definitely her.”

The room erupted in laughter and teasing comments. The host muttered, “Good taste,” while the other joked, “Sliding into her DMs soon, Joe?”

Joe chuckled, shaking his head as if to brush off the attention, but the damage was done. Within hours, the clip of his admission was circulating on social media. Sports accounts, entertainment outlets, and fan pages had all picked it up. Memes popped up with captions like:

When your MVP is also a hopeless romantic, and Quarterback Joe Burrow shoots his shot.

Across the country, Y/N was sitting in her trailer on the set of Outer Banks, scrolling through her phone between takes. She hadn’t even made it halfway through her notifications before Madelyn Cline burst into the room, phone in hand.

“Did you see this?” She asked, her tone giddy.

“See what?” Y/N asked, setting her script aside.

“Joe Burrow—like, the Joe Burrow—just said you’re his celebrity crush during a press conference.”

Her brows shot up in surprise. “Wait, seriously?”

Madelyn thrust the phone toward her, showing her the clip. Y/N hit play, watching as Joe, clad in his Bengals gear, casually named her as his celebrity crush. At first, she laughed—a light, disbelieving sound—but as the video looped, she couldn’t help but notice the genuine look on his face. It wasn’t cocky or rehearsed. It was… sweet.

“Well,” Madelyn said, smirking, “looks like someone’s got a fan.”

“Yeah, a fan who’s, like, an NFL star,” Y/N quipped, trying to brush it off, though her cheeks had turned a noticeable shade of pink. “He probably says stuff like that all the time.”

“Oh, no way. That guy does not look like he just ‘says stuff.’ You should DM him. Or better yet, I’ll DM him for you!”

“Absolutely not,” Y/N said, laughing as she snatched the phone back. But later, when she was alone, she replayed the clip a few more times, unable to shake the warm, fluttery feeling in her chest.

Across social media, fans were having a field day. Football fans and Outer Banks fans joined forces, shipping Joe and Y/N like they were characters in their own romantic drama. Someone tweeted:

Joe Burrow x Y/N? A crossover episode I didn’t know I needed.

Even Y/N’s manager brought it up during a call the next day. “The press is eating this up. We could lean into it if you’re comfortable.”

Y/N sighed. “He seems nice, but… let’s not make a big deal out of it.”

“Noted,” her manager said, though the tone suggested they were already envisioning the headlines.

Still, the attention lingered. For Joe, it became an inside joke with his teammates.

“You think she’s seen it yet?” one of them teased during practice.

“She probably has,” Joe said, trying to sound casual, but the truth was, he kind of hoped she had.

And for Y/N, every time she opened Instagram or Twitter and saw a fan edit pairing her with Joe, she couldn’t help but smile. Little did either of them know, this was only the beginning.

@y//nofficial: my babes (also being the celebrity crush of a nfl player is my finest achievement in life 😉)

Two.

Months had passed since Joe casually admitted to the world that Y/N was his celebrity crush, and while the media had gradually moved on to other stories, the moment had left a lasting impression on both of them.

For Joe, it had been nothing more than a lighthearted, honest answer in the moment. But as he followed Y/N’s career—watching interviews, catching glimpses of her on magazine covers, and finally binge-watching Outer Banks during the offseason—he couldn’t deny that his admiration for her had only grown.

For Y/N, Joe’s comment was a flattering blip in her increasingly busy schedule. Between shooting a new season of Outer Banks and fielding scripts for movie roles, she hadn’t thought much about it—at least, not until their paths crossed in the most unexpected way.

It was the night of the ESPY Awards, a glittering evening celebrating the best in sports. Joe had been invited after leading the Bengals to a playoff run that cemented his reputation as one of the league’s brightest stars. Y/N, on the other hand, was there as a presenter.

The after-party buzzed with energy. Athletes, actors, and industry power players mingled in the event space. Joe wasn’t one for crowded events—he preferred the quiet camaraderie of a locker room—but tonight, he was making an exception.

As he sipped a drink and scanned the room, his eyes landed on her. Y/N was standing near the bar, wearing a sleek, gold dress that caught the light every time she moved. She was laughing at something one of her co-stars had said, her smile lighting up the space around her. Joe’s heart skipped in a way he hadn’t felt before.

“Dude, you okay?” one of his teammates asked, noticing the quarterback’s sudden silence.

“Yeah,” Joe said, setting his glass down. “Be right back.”

Joe didn’t overthink as he crossed the room, his long strides purposeful yet casual. For someone who thrived under pressure, he was oddly nervous. As he got closer, Y/N glanced up, her gaze locking with his. Recognition flickered in her eyes, followed by a warm smile.

“Hi,” Joe said, extending a hand. “I’m Joe.”

“I know,” Y/N said with a teasing glint. She took his hand, her touch firm yet delicate. “I’m Y/N.”

“I know,” he shot back, his grin widening. The exchange was simple, but it broke the ice between them.

For the next few minutes—or maybe it was hours; neither of them kept track—they talked like old friends. Joe told her about his first football game as a kid, the way his dad had coached him to stay grounded, and the chaos of his rookie year in the NFL. Y/N shared stories about her early auditions, the nerves of landing her breakout role, and the unexpected challenge of filming on a boat in stormy weather.

“So,” she said at one point, her tone light but playful, “am I really your celebrity crush, or was that just something you said for the podcast?”

Joe laughed, a deep, genuine sound that made her smile. “It wasn’t just for the podcast. You’re… incredible. I meant it.”

Y/N’s cheeks warmed, but she didn’t shy away from his gaze. “Well, thank you. That’s sweet of you.”

The night wore on, and the party began to thin out, but Joe and Y/N stayed rooted in their little corner of the room, oblivious to the time or the world around them. By the end of the evening, Joe had her number saved in his phone under her name, followed by a football emoji she insisted he add.

As they said their goodbyes, Y/N looked at him and said, “It was nice meeting you, Joe. Maybe I’ll see you around.”

“Definitely,” he replied, his smile tinged with quiet determination.

The next day, during an interview recapping the night, Y/N was asked if she had fun at the ESPYs. She smiled knowingly. “I did. I met someone who made the night memorable.”

Joe, back at the practice facility, saw the clip during a break and couldn’t help but grin. “Made her night memorable, huh?” his teammate teased.

Joe didn’t answer, but the glint in his eyes said it all. It was the beginning of something new, though neither of them fully realized it yet.

@y//nofficial: I had no business being at the ESPYs but I’m SO HAPPY I was! It was a very memorable evening! 😏

Three.

The photo that broke the internet wasn’t planned. Joe and Y/N had been dating quietly for a couple of months, their blossoming relationship tucked away from the public eye. They liked it that way.

Joe could focus on football without fielding endless questions about his personal life, and Y/N could work on her projects without worrying about being cast as “so-and-so’s girlfriend.”

That morning, they had decided to grab coffee at a small café in Cincinnati. It wasn’t one of those flashy celebrity spots—just a cozy, tucked-away place where they could sit and talk without interruption.

Y/N was in between filming seasons of the show and had some time off, so she spent it in the Midwest.

She wore an oversized hoodie and leggings, her hair pulled into a messy bun. Joe had on a Bengals cap and a casual sweatshirt. To anyone passing by, they looked like any other young couple enjoying a quiet moment together.

But someone did notice.

A fan walking out of the café spotted them holding hands as they strolled back to Joe’s car. The fan discreetly snapped a photo—not to be invasive, but because Joe Burrow and Y/N together?! It was too good to keep to themselves.

By the afternoon, the photo was everywhere.

@fanaccountt: Joe Burrow spotted with Outer Banks actress Y/N Y/L/N all coupled up! Is this the beginning of a new power couple?

Joe was in the middle of reviewing game tape when his phone buzzed incessantly. He ignored it at first, but when his teammate Ja’Marr walked in grinning, he knew something was up.

“You’re trending,” Ja’Marr said, tossing his phone onto the desk.

Joe picked it up and immediately saw the photo. There he was, arms wrapped around Y/N, the internet going wild over their apparent relationship.

“Crap,” he muttered, running a hand through his hair.

“What, you mad about it?” Ja’Marr teased. “Dude, people are shipping you two like crazy. You’re a power couple now.”

Joe sighed. “It’s not about being mad. I just… I wanted to keep it private for a little longer.”

“Well,” Ja’Marr said with a laugh, “welcome to dating a superstar.”

Y/N wasn’t faring much better. Her phone had been blowing up all day, her group chats full of messages from co-stars and friends.

“Why didn’t you tell me you’re dating Joe freaking Burrow?!”

“Is this why you’ve been smiling so much lately???”

Her manager even called. “So… about that photo…”

Y/N groaned, rubbing her temples. “I didn’t think anyone would notice us! We weren’t even in L.A.!”

“Well, they noticed. So now the question is, do we address it, or let it fizzle out?”

Y/N bit her lip. She and Joe had talked about how they’d handle going public, but they hadn’t expected it to happen like this. After a quick call to Joe, they decided to keep it simple—acknowledge it without making a spectacle.

A few days later, Joe had a press conference. The media had been chomping at the bit to ask him about the photo, and as soon as the football questions wrapped up, one brave reporter dove in.

“Joe, there’s been a lot of buzz about your personal life lately. Care to comment on the photo of you and Y/N that’s been circulating?”

Joe’s lips twitched into a small smile. “Yeah, I’ve seen the photo,” he said, his tone light but measured. “Look, I get it—it’s part of the job. But, yeah, Y/N and I are dating. She’s incredible. I’m lucky to have her in my corner.”

The room buzzed with excitement, but Joe didn’t elaborate. He kept it short and sweet, knowing anything more would only add fuel to the fire.

Meanwhile, Y/N was promoting the upcoming season of Outer Banks on a popular morning talk show. Inevitably, the host brought up the photo.

“So, Y/N, the internet is losing it over this photo of you and Joe Burrow. Can you confirm—are you guys officially a thing?”

Y/N laughed, her cheeks flushing slightly. “I guess the photo kind of confirmed it for us, didn’t it?” she said, her voice warm and genuine. “Joe’s great. He’s funny, grounded, and so supportive. I’m really lucky.”

Fans swooned. The internet exploded again, dubbing them the It Couple of the year.

That night, Joe and Y/N sat on the couch in his living room, scrolling through the headlines together.

“‘NFL’s Golden Boy and Hollywood’s Sweetheart,’” Joe read aloud, smirking. “That’s a bit much, don’t you think?”

Y/N leaned her head on his shoulder, laughing. “Get used to it, superstar. This is our life now.”

He wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close. “As long as I’ve got you, I think I can handle it.”

@y//nofficial: well…I guess it’s out there now 🧡 @joeyb_9

Four.

It was a moment that underscored just how much Joe and Y/N had come to mean to each other—not just as a couple but as a team. Their worlds were so different, but they’d found ways to support each other, even when the demands of their careers kept them apart.

The moment happened on one of the NFL’s biggest stages: the AFC Championship Game. Joe had led the Bengals to the brink of a Super Bowl appearance, and the eyes of the world were on him.

It was a freezing January evening, the kind where the air burned your lungs and every hit on the field felt twice as hard. But Joe didn’t seem fazed; he thrived in the cold.

Y/N had cleared her schedule weeks ago to make sure she could be there. She was bundled up in a Bengals hoodie and beanie, sitting in a private box with Joe’s family, but she might as well have been on the field with him.

Every play made her heart race, and she cheered as loudly as anyone when Joe threw a perfect touchdown pass or scrambled for a first down.

When the Bengals sealed the victory in the final minutes, the stadium erupted. Y/N stood and clapped, her face lighting up with pride. Cameras panned across the crowd, catching her celebration, and the broadcasters couldn’t resist a mention.

“And there’s Joe Burrow’s girlfriend, Y/N,” one of them said. “She’s been a fixture at games this season, always showing her support.”

Joe’s post-game press conference was filled with the usual football questions, but one reporter couldn’t resist asking about the glimpse of Y/N on the broadcast.

“You’ve talked a lot about your teammates being in your corner,” the reporter began, “but it seems like you’ve got a pretty special fan in your corner too. How important has Y/N’s support been during this season?”

Joe’s face softened, a rare moment of vulnerability on full display. “She’s been incredible,” he said. “We both have demanding schedules, but she always finds a way to be there when it matters. Having her support—it means everything.”

@y//nofficial: in my WAG era @joeyb_9

Later in the week, Y/N was gearing up for the premiere of her latest film, a romantic drama that was already generating Oscar buzz.

The red carpet was a dazzling frenzy of flashing cameras and shouting photographers, but Y/N glided through it with ease. Dressed in a custom gown that seemed to shimmer under the lights, she was the picture of Hollywood elegance.

When asked about her role and the film, she was all business, talking passionately about the story and her character. But, inevitably, a question about Joe came up.

“Your boyfriend, Joe Burrow, just led his team to another Super Bowl appearance,” the interviewer said. “How does it feel to be dating someone who’s at the top of his game, just like you?”

Y/N smiled, her eyes twinkling. “Joe works harder than anyone I’ve ever met. He’s so focused and driven, but he’s also incredibly humble about everything he’s accomplished. Watching him do what he loves at such a high level—it’s inspiring. I couldn’t be prouder of him.”

The clip of her response went viral almost immediately, fans swooning over her heartfelt words.

Joe couldn’t attend the film premiere because he was deep in Super Bowl preparations, but that didn’t stop him from supporting her in his own way.

On the day of the premiere, Y/N woke up to a surprise delivery at her hotel: a massive bouquet of her favorite flowers with a handwritten note.

“To my superstar,

Wish I could be there to cheer you on tonight. You’re going to be amazing—just like always.

Love, Joe.”

Y/N smiled as she read it, her heart swelling. Later that night, after walking the red carpet and enduring endless interviews, she called Joe.

“You didn’t have to do that,” she said, her voice warm with affection.

“Of course I did,” he replied. “I hate that I couldn’t be there, but I wanted you to know I’m thinking about you.”

“Well,” she said, “you’re officially the sweetest boyfriend ever.”

Their mutual support didn’t go unnoticed by fans or the media. People loved how they celebrated each other’s successes, even from a distance. Someone tweeted:

Joe Burrow sending flowers to Y/N before her premiere? That’s the kind of MVP energy we all need.

Another wrote: Y/N calling Joe’s season ‘inspiring’ is proof they’re the real deal. Power couple status confirmed.

@y//nofficial: 🤍❤️

Five.

By the time the Super Bowl rolled around, Joe and Y/N’s relationship had become a fixture in both sports and entertainment media.

They were admired not just for their individual accomplishments but for the way they seemed to amplify each other’s strengths. Fans loved their humility, their chemistry, and the quiet way they handled their fame.

But this was Joe’s moment—a chance to bring a Lombardi Trophy home to Cincinnati, something that had eluded the franchise for decades.

As game day approached, the buzz was electric. The pressure was immense, and the stakes couldn’t have been higher.

Y/N had spent the week leading up to the game in New York, doing press for the new season of Outer Banks. She wanted to fly to LA early to be with Joe, but he insisted she focus on her commitments.

“I know how much this season means to you,” he told her over the phone. “I’ll be fine. Just promise me you’ll be there on Sunday.”

“Wouldn’t miss it for the world,” she said.

On the morning of the game, Y/N arrived in LA, joining Joe’s family in their private suite at the stadium. Dressed in a Bengals jersey with “Burrow” embroidered on the back, she was a bundle of nerves. Watching Joe on the field was always intense, but this was different. This was the Super Bowl.

The game was a nail-biter. Joe played brilliantly, showcasing his trademark composure under pressure. Every throw, every scramble, every audible sent the crowd into a frenzy.

Y/N found herself clapping, cheering, and even pacing the suite at times, her heart pounding with every play.

The Super Bowl had been everything Joe and the Bengals dreamed of—except for the ending. They fought hard, battled down to the wire, but ultimately, they fell short.

The scoreboard didn’t reflect the effort, the heart, or the grit Joe and his team had shown on the field.

As the confetti fell in the Ram’s colors, Joe stood on the field, his helmet dangling from his hand. He was stoic, as always, but those closest to him could see the weight of the moment settling on his shoulders.

In the stands, Y/N felt a pang of sadness for Joe. She had been there for his triumphs and his setbacks, but she knew how much this one hurt.

As the Ram’s celebrated, Y/N stayed rooted in her seat, watching Joe as he lingered on the field, congratulating the victors with quiet grace.

When he finally made his way toward the tunnel, she slipped past security and met him in the hallway.

Joe looked up and saw her standing there, wearing his jersey with a pair of leather pants, her eyes filled with nothing but love.

“Hey,” he said, his voice hoarse.

“Hey,” she replied softly.

Without another word, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him. He let out a deep sigh as he held her, his chin resting on her shoulder.

“I’m so proud of you,” she whispered.

Joe pulled back slightly to look at her. “For losing?” he asked, a hint of self-deprecation in his tone.

“For leading,” she corrected. “For playing your heart out. For being the guy everyone looks up to—on and off the field.”

Her words seemed to ease some of the tension in his jaw, and he managed a small smile. “Thanks for being here,” he said.

“Always,” she promised.

Joe faced the press soon after, answering questions with his usual composure. When asked about the loss, he acknowledged the disappointment but praised his teammates for their effort and determination. Then, one reporter asked a more personal question.

“Joe, we saw Y/N in the tunnel with you after the game. How much does her support mean to you on a night like this?”

Joe’s expression softened, and for a moment, he seemed to forget the cameras and the crowd.

“It means everything,” he said simply. “Win or lose, she’s always there for me. Having someone like that in your corner—it’s more than I could ever ask for.”

Days later, Y/N was asked about the game during a podcast appearance.

“Your boyfriend played an incredible game, even though the team didn’t get the win. What did you say to him after?” the host asked.

Y/N smiled. “I told him I was proud of him. Because I was. He gave it everything he had, and that’s all anyone can ask for. Joe doesn’t measure his worth by wins and losses, and neither do I.”

Her response resonated with fans, many of whom took to social media to praise her unwavering support.

For Joe and Y/N, the Super Bowl wasn’t the ending they had hoped for, but it became a defining moment in their relationship. It reminded them that true partnership wasn’t about sharing only the victories—it was about standing together through the defeats, too.

As Joe said to Y/N that night, as they sat side by side on the couch in their hotel room, “I might not have won the trophy, but I’ve already won the most important thing in my life.”

Y/N looked at him with a soft smile. “And what’s that?”

“You,” he said, pulling her close.

And in that moment, the loss didn’t seem so heavy anymore.

@y//nofficial: so unbelievably proud of @joeyb_9 you played your heart out and left it all on the field. You never cease to amaze me. I love you always and forever 🧡🖤

Six.

The offseason after the Super Bowl had been a whirlwind for both Joe and Y/N. Between his post-season press appearances and her press tours for Outer Banks and her latest film, finding time for each other wasn’t easy. But they made it work, prioritizing quiet moments away from the spotlight.

It was during one of those moments—a secluded weekend at a lake house in Ohio—that Joe decided it was time.

Y/N had always loved the simplicity of the lake house. It was peaceful, tucked away from the chaos of their public lives.

On their second evening there, Joe suggested a sunset boat ride, something they’d done countless times before.

Y/N didn’t think anything of it, even as Joe packed a small picnic basket with her favorite snacks and a bottle of wine.

As they floated on the calm waters, the sky painted in shades of orange and pink, Joe grew quieter than usual.

“You okay?” Y/N asked, tilting her head to study him.

He smiled, but there was a hint of nervousness in his expression. “Yeah,” he said. “Just thinking about how lucky I am.”

“Lucky?” she teased. “You’re Joe Burrow. I’d say you’ve got some skill in there too.”

Joe chuckled, shaking his head. “I mean lucky to have you.”

Before Y/N could respond, he reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small velvet box.

Her breath caught as he opened it, revealing a stunning, timeless diamond ring.

“Y/N,” Joe said, his voice steady but full of emotion, “you’ve been my partner through everything—the highs, the lows, the crazy schedules. I can’t imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?”

Tears filled her eyes as she nodded, a bright smile spreading across her face. “Yes, of course I will,” she said, throwing her arms around him.

The ring sparkled in the fading sunlight as he slid it onto her finger.

They decided to wait a few weeks before announcing the engagement, savoring the joy privately with close family and friends. But the news broke one sunny Monday morning when Y/N posted a picture on Instagram.

@y//nofficial: Forever ❤️💍 @joeyb_9

Within minutes, the post exploded with likes, comments, and reposts.

Joe shared his own announcement on Instagram.

@joeyb_9: She said yes and now she’s stuck with me. @y/noffical

Fans were ecstatic. Social media buzzed with excitement, and hashtags like #JoeAndYNGoals and #PowerCouple flooded timelines.

One fan tweeted: “Our QB1 is officially off the market, and honestly, we love to see it. Congrats, Joe and Y/N!”

Another wrote: “Joe Burrow just won the Super Bowl of life. Y/N, you’ve got the real MVP!”

During a press conference later that week, Joe was inevitably asked about the engagement.

“Joe, congratulations on your engagement,” a reporter said. “Can you share how you proposed?”

Joe smiled, his signature calm demeanor softening. “Thank you, I appreciate it,” He started. “But I don’t think I’m going to talk about that just yet. Let’s just stick to football.” He finished, a smirk on his face.

He wanted to keep some part of their engagement special. Keep the details and the moment just between them, something that the prying eyes can’t touch.

Y/N, appearing on a late-night talk show around the same time, was asked the same question.

“It was so Joe,” she said with a laugh. “Thoughtful, intimate, and a little bit unexpected. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better moment. That’s about all the details I’m going to give!”

As the engagement news continued to dominate headlines, one thing became clear: Joe and Y/N weren’t just admired for their individual accomplishments—they were celebrated for the love and respect they showed each other.

For their fans, the proposal announcement was a fairytale come to life. But for Joe and Y/N, it was just the beginning of a lifetime of chapters yet to be written—together.

Total Drama Sims: Season 3

After 2 successful seasons of Total Drama Sims, I'm thrilled to announce that we're coming back once again to bring you another thrilling season of teenagers humiliating themselves!

But that's just the good news. Want the REALLY good news??

Our budget has expanded, meaning that this season, we are increasing our cast size from 14 to 18!!

SO! If your teen sim is bored, wants a brush of notoriety, or simply wants something fun to do, you've come to the right place! TDS is looking for 18 brave, competitive teenagers to compete in crazy, wacky challenges (safety/lack of danger not guaranteed, as always) in pursuit of the grand prize!

WHAT’S NEW THIS SEASON?

Aside from increasing our cast size, TDS3 will once again be incorporating new (and returning) gameplay mechanics to keep everything jazzed-up and fresh!

For starters, from Mt. Komorebi to Chestnut Ridge, we will be traveling all over the Sims world! This season, each challenge will be taking place in a different city/world. So, to get around, TDS has rented a (totally-not-rundown) plane to serve as our cast's place of lodging, food, and of course, the elimination ceremonies!

Along with double eliminations returning this season (two people are eliminated instead of one), TDS3 will consist of 3 teams instead of 2 to accommodate for the increased cast size! TDS3 will also be introducing an immunity idol! If a contestant finds the immunity idol, they will be safe from elimination should they get the most votes in an elimination ceremony. Instead of them, the person with the second most votes gets eliminated!

To sign up for TDS3, you must reserve a spot with me! You can do this by DMing me, sending an ask, or commenting on this post. Reservations are first-come-first serve. I will write your username down and from there, you can make and submit your sim!

Read on for a refresher on what this competition is all about and UPDATED (again) submission rules (so if you had a sim compete in previous seasons, make sure to read them again!)

THE GIST:

This competition is, obviously, based off of the Total Drama series (a show that’s near and dear to me), but you do not need any background knowledge of this show to participate! The show (and this competition) functions similarly to a Bachelor Challenge, where contestants will be routinely eliminated until there is a sole winner.

This competition will also focus on the contestants building relationships with each other (hence the drama part, which is bound to happen when you put 18 teenagers together!)

SUBMISSION RULES:

If for any reason you’d like to give up your reservation, contact me ASAP so I can give that reservation to someone else!

If you competed in previous seasons, you MAY compete again (even if your sim won the competition!), but please don't resubmit the same sim(s) you used in previous seasons. New sims only, please!

Your sim must be a teen

No occults; contestants must be human only (to prevent unfair advantages)

Contestants must not have any high-level skills (they can have some level of skill but nothing above lvl 5; also to prevent unfair advantages)

Only one outfit per category please

Any amount and type of CC is fine, just make sure to include it when you send your sim over to me

To keep your sim looking as intended, please keep your sim pack-friendly! I own most packs, but here's a list of packs that I do NOT own (EPs are in bold): - Carnaval Streetwear Kit - Crystal Creations Stuff Pack - Fashion Street Kit - Incheon Arrivals Kit - Life & Death Expansion Pack - Lovestruck Expansion Pack - Modern Menswear Kit - Poolside Splash Kit - Simtimates Collection Kit - Sweet Slumber Party Kit

Must be okay with slight changes in sims’ appearances (as I may use different mods/presets than you do)

Must be okay with me writing dialogue for your sims (for confessionals (example from season 1 here). I read all entries down to the word and will try my very best to keep everyone in their intended character)

As there is a possibility of sims entering romantic relationships with others, PLEASE SPECIFY YOUR SIM'S SEXUALITY/ROMANTIC ORIENTATION! (Sims with unspecified sexualities/orientations will be assumed to be pan). Nothing NSFW will be shown or mentioned, as of course I’ll be portraying minors. PLEASE let me know if you don’t want your sim to enter any romantic relationships!

Please give your sim a backstory. The more detailed the better. Describe what they’re like, why they’re competing on Total Drama Sims, etc.

Your sim can have any traits/aspirations

HERE IS HOW THE COMPETITION WILL WORK:

The 18 contestants will be split into 3 teams of 6

The 3 teams will compete in challenges in attempt to win invincibility (safety from being voted off). The losing team will have to vote someone off (the other teams will not be part of voting). If one of the teams is reduced to less than 3 contestants, that team is dissolved and the remaining 2 contestants each join the two surviving teams.

This process continues until 8 contestants remain. Afterwards the teams dissolve and everyone competes individually (this is known as merge). This means that only 1 contestant can win invincibility; everyone else will be at risk for elimination

When merge occurs, all eliminated contestants at that point will be eligible to rejoin the game through a special challenge. The winner of that challenge will rejoin the game (bringing the number of contestants back to 9)

This process again continues until 2 contestants remain. In the finale, all eliminated contestants will vote for a winner

Challenges will occur half the time. The other half of the competition will be socialization days, where contestants are free to socialize with each other as they please

The competition will start with a socialization day first to establish relationships before the first challenge

Voting will be determined by relationship dynamics and how everyone did in the challenge. Contestants who do poorly are more likely to get voted. Contestants who have a negative relationship with each other are also more likely to get voted. Conversely contestants who have a positive relationship with each other are less likely to get voted. The contestant with the most votes at the end is eliminated. All of this will be determined by a spinner (in case of a tie I will use a random number generator to determine who’s out). This will also determine who wins at the end of the competition.

REWARD FOR THE WINNER:

This competition is mostly for the funsies, but whoever wins this competition will personally receive an actual reward from me! You have a choice between the following options:

Discord Nitro for 1 month

Kinkmas Day 1: Food Play

Han Jisung x male reader

This Guy

Stuff: Food play DUH, kissing while eating, rimming with food, sucking dick with food, nipple sucking with food, all of which reader receives. established relationship, no actual fucking, I feel like this is kind of gross, so viewer discretion is advised.

Word Count: 1,197

Notes: Happy Thanksgiving bitches! yes, I am doing Kinkmas this year, tis the season for gay sex

You and Han are boyfriends, and since neither of you really wanted to see the family because both sides aren't super jazzed about the whole gay thing, and the rest of Stray Kids are meeting with their family, you decided to just eat with each other.

You spend all day making the best thanksgiving dinner with all the classics. Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, and of course, pumpkin pie. You spent the whole day making all these, hopefully, delicious dishes for you and your boyfriend. You really wanted it to be perfect since this is yours and Han's first Thanksgiving with just the two of you.

"Damn y/n, this is really good." He complimented sweetly, almost devouring the dinner. The meal went super well, everything turned out just right, thank god.

"Thank you!" You said graciously, giving him a quick kiss. Though, he didn't see the kiss coming, so his mouth was still open as he ate the food. This led to a piece of the turkey that he was eating getting into your own mouth.

"Oh fuck! sorry!" He quickly apologized, hoping that you weren't going to be too mad, but you weren't. In fact, it kind of excites you. The fact that the food that you just ate came from your boyfriend's mouth was kind of... hot. New kink unlocked?

You dive right back into another kiss, leaving him to let out a shocked gasp, leaving the perfect entrance for you to shove your tongue into his mouth.

Han is shocked at first but just goes with the flow, allowing you to take even more food from inside his mouth. You eat up nearly every bit of turkey that was inside his mouth, leaving Han to catch up on what you were doing.

Once he finally understood, he responded in kind by shoving some mashed potatoes into your own mouth, eating it up for himself. You moan into the kiss, leaving your mouth to open wider and allowing his tongue to scoop up even more food.

"Tastes even better now..." Han said with half lidded eyes, growing arouses from the food sharing.

You both grab some more food and shove into each other's mouths, sharing the food and swapping between your tongues, moaning all the while. The fact that the food is being completely shared between your hot mouths makes it somehow taste all the better.

"Wonder how good it would taste if it was from a... different hole." He insinuated, which you immediately caught on.

You quickly take your clothes off, leaving your whole body bare to him. His eyes scan over your whole body, from your face that is now covered in various dishes, down to your nipples.

He takes some of the cranberry sauce from the table and lathers it on to your hard buds, making them covered in the cool jelly like substance. You lightly moan at the pleasurable sensation, but those moans become even louder when Han latches his mouth on your hard nipples, licking the cranberry sauce right off of them.

Once he licks your nipples clean, he just lathers them up once more and licks it all off again, repeating this process over and over again until your nipples are incredibly sensitive and turn a deep red shade from all the attention.

Once He's done with that, his attention goes down to your bare ass. He roughly turns you around and bends you over, his mind hyper focused on his goal, to stuff you like a turkey and eat it all out.

He scoops some stuffing up in a bowl and without warning, shoves it inside your asshole. He does this until your ass is completely stuffed with the dish.

He then dives right in, eating at your hole with a near animalistic vigor. You're not complaining though, which is obvious by the way you moan from the sensations, the hot stuffing filling your hole only to be eaten away by Han, it was to die for.

Han gobbles up every single bit, only to do the same thing he did with the cranberry sauce which is to fill it up again with the hot stuffing and eat it all out again.

He eats at your ass, devouring every single bit of stuffing, leaving you to fill the kitchen with your moans. The sensations are so good in fact that you accidentally cum, all over the pumpkin pie.

Once Han realizes that you've ejaculated, he simply takes a piece of the cum splattered pie and eats, moaning from how delicious it tasted.

"You should really try some." He offered casually, handing you a plate.

"I'm not eating my own cum!" You yelled disgustedly.

"Why not? You eat mine all the time." He questioned.

"It's different! Eating my own cum would be like drinking my own piss, it's unthinkable." You countered.

"Well, I think it's delicious, and I want some more..." He said that last part with a little more... hunger in his voice. He gets down on his knees right in front of you, his mouth inches from your hardening member, you can even feel his warm breath on your tip.

Han takes some of the whip cream that was supposed to be meant for the pie until you put your own cream on it. He sprays the whipped cream along your cock, pumping on like it was lube until it is completely covered from base to tip. You shriek at the feeling of the cold cream spread throughout your cock, but the shriek quickly turns into moans as he spreads it around with his hand.

Without further ado, he takes your cock in his warm mouth, leaving another shriek to leave your mouth but instead of discomfort like the last one, this one is derived from pure pleasure.

Han works his mouth on your aching dick, sucking up every single bit of the creamy substance off of your penis. Once he's sucked off all the cream, he does the same thing as the previous two food items and just puts it all on once again.

He pumps the new batch of whipped cream on, spreading it over your dick before putting your man meat right back into his mouth.

You moan above him, leaning back against the wall since him blowing you is making your legs weak. He works your cock so well, causing a stream of moans to escape your mouth as he sucks the cream off.

Your own pre cum mixes in with the newly applied whipped cream, causing a moan of delight to go from Han's mouth right into your dick, the vibrations making the blow job even more exquisite.

Not long after the third application of whipped cream, your burst, cumming right into Han's mouth. He loves the taste so much, swallowing every single drop, not letting a single drop escape.

He then licks the remaining mixture of cum and whipped cream off your softening cock, moaning as he does so from the overpowering deliciousness of the double cream mixture.

"We should do this every Thanksgiving." He said jokingly, causing a shaky laugh to fall from your mouth, but bitch... he wasn't joking.

THE END

[higuchisora]

Isha and her dynamic with Jinx were both very undercooked. There was good set up, but the 2 bonding is sped run and then Isha dies after being in like what, 3 episodes? Which is emblematic of the quality in Arcane’s 2nd season as a whole. There’s a good set up, but the payoff is either nonexistent or executed poorly

It's not just undercooked- it's fuckin RAW. Like don't get me wrong, she was cute, but I had a feeling she wasn't gonna make it to the end, whether that was through death or some other thing. I'm sure there were ways she could've become her own person and had an entire relevant arc, but the way I see it, they never should've added her in the first place. She's a plot device, not a person. Which is a shame, because again, I LIKED her and her dynamic with Jinx.

But honestly? She feels more like a "happy ending epilogue" type character as she is, rather than an actual person with actual impact on the world around her (the story). But yeah, like you said, they set up a BUNCH of stuff and then just. Didn't do anything with it lmao. Like that whole Warwick thing? Unnecessary. He didn't have to be Vander. Noxus? Get rid of them. Also unnecessary. Half the storylines just fizzled out halfway through. We will never know what happened to Ekko's tree. And why did Mel need whatever the fuck was going on? Like don't get me wrong she served cunt, but she could've done that alongside the rest of the cast instead of spending half the season in a backrooms warehouse.

Ugh anyway all of this is to say you're so right and I hate this for us

[arcane-ish]

I don't think it's 1 character that "replaced" Vi.

Structurally Jinx replaced Vi as the throughline character with a core journey.

But imo each Act is dedicated to a different story/character. Act 1 deeply explores Cait, Act 2 explores Warwick and his relationship with the girls. Act 3 primarily explores Jayce (+ Viktor).

They constantly move characters out of the way to make room for the vignettes they want to tell.

I have seen the theories and I still don't buy that there was some sort of secret genius writets in season 1 who simultaneously is responsible for all that is good about season 1 yet never came in any behind of the scenes stuff and didn't feel enough ownership to ever give an interview about the show.

Alex, Christian and Amanda were always the main people. They had mostly one episode guest writers to help them structure the actual episodes .

There were two other people who were involved in more episodes and who didn't return, but one is just a League lore writer not a tv writer and the other mostly had Disney shows in his IMDb credentials (and again, neither seems to have cared deeply enough to ever give an interview about working on the show).

My theory is that they probably always were really chaotic which is why the first version of Arcane had to be scrapped for sucking.

Maybe somebody forced them to get oversight to get out something more structured, but after s1 was so successful they probably got high on their success, thought they didn't need any oversight and just wrote their little fun stories they wanted to tell with nobody there to tell them they needed to align those stories more.

Didn't they say that the big Silco monologue is one if the oldest pieces of Arcane, that Jason Spisak auditioned with even before the first version if season 1 was cancelled? I'm not sure if they ever explicitly said who wrote it a season 1 interview.

Season 1's success gave them the illusion that they are awesome and could never go wrong and so they just went with their gut for everything unfiltered by sanity (ie the emphasis on music videos just feels like pure Christian Linke, inventor of Get Jinxed and Pentakill to me).

I think a lot of the political stuff subtext (not all, but some) was added by the visuals/the animators. And the political vision and messaging from the writers was always skin deep/just a backdrop of interpersonal stories.

(again, if some if the season 1 writers pops out to say what it was like, I'm willing to change my mind, but imo going by the evidence I don't buy the theory of secret shadow good writers who never spoke up before but were centrally responsible for the quality of season 1)

[note: I'm definitely speaking from my personal tv watching experience, where there's just a lot of shows out there that have pretty tight season 1 or season 1&2 that makes everybody think that they are genius and as the show goes on it turns out they are actually people with pretty shitty tastes]

i'm not done with my christian linke slander. his response to fans' complaints about vi's characterization (or lack thereof) in season 2 is very disappointing. there is nothing wrong with wanting more attention for other characters but ffs, vi is THE protagonist of the series. there should've been more attention on her loneliness after breaking up with caitlyn, struggling with change, and her thought process of becoming an enforcer; all of that felt like an afterthought in season 2. it's not like a character having disproportionate screentime was ever a problem either. jinx and vi had the most screentime in season 1, but the other characters still felt fully fleshed out and interesting. i really hope linke doesn't work on the upcoming lol tv adaptations, you should not be a show runner if you can't listen to reasonable fan criticism.

Joshua x teacher!reader

Requested? Yes!

Request: ‘saw the seungkwan x teacher!reader one and i loved it so much 🥹 could you please do one with joshuaaaa? w the same amount of fluff plspls and thank youuuu’

A/N: not sure how many more teacher!reader things I have in me, but I thought this one turned out kind of cute.

TW/CW: kids in general, along with brief mentions of marriage and starting a family.

Joshua, who totally has heart-eyes the moment he finds out you teach kindergarten.

He was already into you before. You’re pretty, and funny, and smart no doubt. But there is something so attractive to him about someone that’s good with kids. And he hasn’t seen you with any kids yet, but he can tell by the way your eyes light up when you talk about your work that you have to be good with them. He promises himself within the first five minutes that he will not fuck this up.

Joshua, who asks a million questions about your job.

What made you want to be a teacher? Why kids so young? What’s your favorite part about it? What’s the hardest part about it? What’s the funniest thing that’s happened? You lowkey feel bad after a while because you’ve done a lot of talking about yourself on this first date, but you won’t hear him complain about it at all. He even brushes it off, saying his job is boring. You scoff good-naturedly, because how good being an international superstar be boring???

Joshua, who volunteers to help you decorate your classroom.

It’s the middle of the semester, but the kids love when you decorate for the seasons. So you plan to take down all of the summery decor and replace it with fall stuff. He stands on the ladder to move around posters and meticulously staples individual paper leaves to your bulletin board. He has to stop and coo at some of the things in your classroom too while he’s there. The cubbies for the students’ belongings are so little and low to the ground for all of them to reach it. The tables and chairs are so low that it looks ridiculous when he sits down to make you laugh. And he loves your big, blocky, kid-friendly handwriting on the board, coupled with some messy kid handwriting near the bottom of the board that you don’t erase.

Joshua, who loves to hear about your day.

He could have flown all around the world this week and he does not care to talk about it for long. He wants to know what games you played with the kids at recess or what songs you taught them to memorize things. He even wants to know what kind of little kid arguments you broke up today. You tell him it’s just business as usual, but he’s totally fascinated by all of it. What gets to him is the ease with which you seem to address any of it. You say it’s just kid stuff, but it gives him heart palpitations sometimes.

Joshua, who volunteers last minute for a field trip.

One of your parent chaperones bailed last minute and you’re scrambling to find someone else to meet the student to adult ratio required. When you look a little teary eyed that you might have to cancel the trip, he’s simply bailing on his plans for the next day to join you. You scold him because his work is important, but he’s insistent. He can miss a single day in the studio.

Joshua, who is so good with your students that it makes you heart-eyed.

He’s exceedingly patient, helping you get coats on all of the kids and taking them to the bus. He’s also incredibly gentle if he has to call one of them down for standing up in the seat on the bus. He holds up the back of the line, good-naturedly guiding stragglers back into the group. You cannot believe he went on and on about how good you are with kids when he’s just like this with zero training. After all the kids are picked up or on the buses at the end of the day, he gives you a confused look. ‘What? Did I do something?’ You smile and shake your head like you aren’t already planning the day you marry him. ‘Nothing. Nothing at all.’

Joshua, who takes charge of making little gifts for your students for the holidays.

He comes over to your apartment with a box piled high with little gift bags. You’re confused because you both already agreed not to trade presents this year. ’It’s for your students.’ You go wide-eyed, picking up one of the bags. Inside each one is a cute little handmade bracelet. Each bag is individually labeled and you have no clue how he memorized all of your students names in just six months. ‘I had to make some assumptions about what size each needed to be, but I have some extras if they don’t work.’ Your jaw is on the floor. ‘Where did you come from?’ Joshua turns a little shy because he doesn’t really know. He’s been so invested in this relationship from day one that he kind of forgets what came before it.

Joshua, who has a ring ready for when the time is right.

He knows it’s kind of early, but he knows a good fit when he finds it. He doesn’t know how you feel about having your own kids, but he finds it doesn’t matter much to him. Not when he knows that you take care of 20+ five year olds day in and day out. He thinks it’s a testament to how good of a person you are. Kids seem to know when you wear a mask, but they love you. He does too, he just has to find the right time to say it.

Skeleton Crew First Impressions

So far, so good.

(Rest under the cut for spoilers)

The opening scene is a blatant callback to the start of A New Hope but I don’t say that with any malice. It was really well done! A clear *nudge, nudge, wink, wink* but not to the point of sacrificing this new story for gaudy nostalgia sake. It didn’t follow it beat for beat either, which made the parallels more interesting and left us to enjoy the new stuff.

Others have said it and I agree: this is a Star Wars show that’s actually for kids (without being a totally watered down, candy-coloured creation). It’s styled like a classic kids movie, there’s way less gore and suggestive stuff, and what is there is handled appropriately with the target audience in mind. Kudos to the creators.

It is so cool to see suburbia in Star Wars. So much of the scenery feels like places you’ve seen in real life/seen in other movies, but then there’s always something there to remind you you’re in Star Wars. The alien lady walking her dog, the hover-trams, the droids doing jobs here, there, and everywhere. That’s a good execution of the 70/30 ratio rule.

This is probably just me, but, somehow, this story feels like it happens in the same universe as Andor but not Mandalorian/TBoBF/Ahsoka. Maybe it’s just that the scenes are shot differently, the camera angles are more dynamic (we’re not as stuck and static as in the Volume scenes). I can actually see what’s going on (it’s not so dark, unsaturated).

I just know there’s gonna be people going on and on about how immature the main characters are and I am going to ignore them as I did when they went on about Omega and Ezra. They. Are. Children. And they are acting like children. Because they’re children! They’re gonna not always listen! They’re gonna do the very thing they shouldn’t! They’re gonna push buttons they’re not supposed to! (oh, Wim’s definitely got space ADHD).

Claimsies = DIBS. Love a Star Wars twist on an earth saying/word.

Speaking of which… we got “kriffing”!

The Theelin lady trying to help the girls get home is a real one and I hope she gets away from that starport herself and gets a good life. Or continues saving people who shouldn’t be there, if that’s her mission in life.

SM-33, they better fix you. I love you. And I love the weird little rat that lives in your eye socket.

(Oh, and that tattoo droid sounded just like Cad Bane’s droid)

The mystery around the kids’ home planet is intriguing. Why do they have a Barrier, not a Sky? Why were their stars red lights? Why do they have Old Republic credits? What treasure is on their planet? I am here for it!

(Hoping we get some explanation next time on why the Jedi guy didn’t just escape the brig earlier)

So. Yeah. I came in with mid-to-low expectations (given the run of recent shows and seasons that have been rather… meh.) and I was blown away!

[spam-monster]

More Drawtectives headcanons! This is post S3 Ep1, but is mostly gonna be backstory/non-mega-spoilery stuff.

Jancy:

Used to live in Midnight Alley as a teen, was part of a girl gang with Lotta and Eugene's (bio) mom; but they drifted apart as Jancy got more into detective work, Lotta got more into crime, and Eugene's mom married a jerk.

They reconnected later and that's how Jancy knew Eugene.

Jancy did do some crimes in her youth even though she always wanted to be a detective, an older P.I. took her under their wing and gave her a chance and that's why she's so tolerant of Rose's shenanigans.

Eugene:

Home life wasn't great, very strict parents.

They either didn't approve of him becoming a performing spirit medium at all because it was "silly and undignified" to play with ghosts, or because their family is sensitive to spirits and they don't like that he made a spectacle out of it.

Possibly like (season 2 villain) and were only interested in profit and not helping the spirits?

Anyway that's why he takes so quickly to the Drawtectives as his new family. because they're loud and affectionate and quirky themselves.

Harper:

Was G-ma's first dog grooming customer and the only one she takes Harold to - they hang out and have Girl Talk and sometimes Rose drops by and is awkward.

Secretly into Villainius-verse fandom online but would never admit it publicly - she and Rose are unknowingly online friends and Harper writes fanfic and Rose draws fanart (and they scam people together?)

Favorite ship is Opticus/Liticus; is famous in the community for inventing an entire backstory for Liticus where his older brother he looked up to turned evil and killed their parents and he became evil himself to cope and he was only trying to date Villainius because he thought it was the right evil thing to do and he didn't think a good guy like Opticus could ever like someone like him and...SHE'S DEFINITELY NOT PROJECTING OR ANYTHING

[bullet-and-brain]

more dan heng headcanons because i enjoy writing these:

-seasonal depression. “but not all of these planets even have seasons” LET ME LIVE!! (i’m projecting). i imagine that the cold would be unpleasant for him, considering he was likely kept on the coldest floor of the shackling prison. i dont think it’d be far-fetched to say that cold weather would also aggravate some of his old injuries (cold weather=chronic pain for this guy. def not projecting again. haha). so its overall just a miserable experience for him

BONUS if you let him be cold-blooded btw. on top of having no energy he has No Energy.

-sometimes march bugs dan heng to ‘set the mood’ for stuff by summoning clouds and having it start raining. like a movie scene for the main couple’s reunion when it starts pouring for dramatic effect

-i think he just generally ends up using his powers for a lot of mundane/niche things. maybe filling up a glass of water for someone or drying his own hair in an instant

-this has been a hc of mine for a while uhh you know how a good indicator of some marine species’ health is their color? like, a sick fish will typically not have those same vivid oranges/blues/pinks etc., their coloration is duller than usual. i’ve always felt like this could apply to the vidyadhara as well- maybe if dan heng is particularly stressed or unwell, his eyes don’t shine so brilliantly, they’re closer to the shade of his eyes in his human form, or his antlers/scales are a grayish-blue-green instead of his signature turquoise. i think this has a lot of fic potential (looks at the draft i’ve been sitting on for over a year)

-this guy cannot keep his human appearance up forever. he usually gets a strong urge to just drop the disguise when he’s surrounded by a lot of water, and if he’s showering/bathing it’s nigh impossible to resist. he’ll sometimes just transform because it’s easier and he’s Tired, but he also HATES having to wash his hair when it’s that long, so it’s kind of a trade off

-he’s not immune to forgetting that he isn’t actually human now that he has the burden of hiding his secret identity off of his shoulders. he’s more comfortable in both forms (and he pointedly refers to his vidyadhara form as his original appearance, not his true one- he sees both as ‘himself’, neither one is more or less genuine)

-he sometimes sheds his scales and the first time it happens he kind of freaks out because he has no idea what the hell to do. bailu to the rescue

also if any of you guys ever want to yap about headcanons or theories or anything in my dms or asks feel free 🙏i love to talk about him he’s so stupid

[theresebelivett]

hiii what is your favorite caitvi fic you have read so far/one you are currently reading? 👀📝

THANK U FOR THIS QUESTION, I'M VERY EXCITED TO ANSWER!!! here are my absolute faves so far, tho i do still feel i'm towards the beginning of my fic journey with them and haven't read a ton of recent stuff so i'm really excited to get to more if anyone has faves:

The Threads Of Fate Tangle And Twist (E, 100k) - this goes first cause it is an absolute, no holds barred masterpiece. like, better than a decent chunk of the published novels i've read this year. it's brutal, emotionally and physically, (it's an au where cait gets thrown in stillwater when she tries to investigate silco instead of marcus trying to hush it up) but couldn't be more worth it. it's gonna be an all-timer for me, i'm in awe of it.

you carry my fears (as the heavens set fire) (E, 4.5k) - as someone with a lot of anxiety around intimacy, this....oof. ooooof. yes.

i know a place (E, 71k) - long, beautiful fics about the aftermath of season one are my kryptonite

say my name and every color illuminates (E, 22k, wip) - i'm an absolute sucker for a soulmate au, you have no idea

the negative space and the pausing of time (T, 9k) - another soft post season one fic (i promise i'm getting to ones that take place after season 2 in my mark for later lol)

In Good Taste (E, 27k) - modern au!! they've been best friends for a decade but refuse to admit it, everyone around them is losing their minds. has a sex scene that made me cry.

currently in the middle of High Tide Came and Brought You In (mermaid au??? yes???) and gray is not a real color (again, literally my first search when i get some new blorbos is soulmate au. can u tell i'm demiromantic and would really prefer my perfect partner to fall in my lap without having to date. can u tell. i'm working on it, don't worry lmao)

THAT WAS VERY FUN!! ENJOY!!

[laura1633]

considering this is their first 1-2 this season celebrating must be good🤭

i remember you said that you planing to write fic where charles’ big dick is main character and i can’t stop thinking about it

charles manhandling max whole night, dancing, turning him around like he wants🤭 max definitely would have some troubles with walking next day😋

They definitely celebrated like crazy!

Yeah I have a one shot that I am in the middle of writing about size queen Max and big dick Charles. It will be one of the one shots I am posting over winter break which will consist of prompts I have received, random ideas I have and things I have promised to write but not had time for previously, hopefully there should be lots of fun stuff in there 😃

Day 1827 of, these sharks live SUCH a tragic life

hi guys!!! I was just rereading castle swimm- OH MY GOD?

do they not usually get fed everyday…?????? (No, the answer is no..)

This is actually a point I’ve BEEN making, the sharks were starved, no question about it. I mean even hunting their food has a high risk of either lots of injuries, or actually DYING..

Walk with me for a second

INFACT??? THEY FEEL LUCKY WHEN NOBODY DIES WHILE HUNTING..??

Which this also implies that when they DO eat, it’s not a lot. That creature they killed was considered to be a big meal for everyone, which…hmm..REALLY..?

and I mean… And if we wanna go and be Marine biologist!!!! Sharks can go up to like six weeks without eating, and that’s just blue sharks! And ANOTHER FACT, sharks are omnivores so they can infact eat plants and stuff, however….have you seen the castle and the environment they live in…

the whole castle is actively…CRUMBLING.. and even the curse takes part in this. Going outside to hunt is basically life threatening, and I doubt they hunt often because of this. Especially considering the fact that their numbers are diminishing, there’s only a few hundred of them.

now obviously this may be a small..reach considering the portions they all get were pretty decent in size. though this doesn’t mean they get that daily, or often at all. And again future maybe marine biologist here! They’re sharks… they’re probably not eating to the recommended standard anyways.

There was actually some REALLY nice head canons that inspired me to share these from my notes a few months ago by @hopeful-puffin that shares most of my thoughts. (Please check it out they’re SO GOOD. I love you hopemwamwanmwah)

anyway

I actually thought I’d share a few of my own head canons as well! Not sure what more I could say I haven’t already.(I hope it’s ok to use this screen shot..)

I’ll make a more head canon centered post some other time hopefully maybe

I feel like siren not caring about food at all is really essential to his character considering the fact a large part of his character is centered around the guilt he carries. The worst part is? He can’t do anything to help, he isn’t allowed to. He can’t complain. And also taking into account that this guy has literally never gone outside for the first 18 years of his life???? This is literally the only thing he’s known. Hunting, to him, is life threatening no matter how skilled you are. He doesn’t know any other creatures other than 1 the ones brought to him and 2 the ones already in their environment. For siren, I’d imagine he doesn’t care what creature it is as long as it’ll feed the people.

now! Hold my hand for a moment.. picture this.

Seasons! Are there seasons in the castle swimmer universe? I mean..probably..I dunno, I’d have to go check after I post this.. BUT! Creatures are skittering around getting ready for..uhhh they’re equivalent to winter! So they aren’t obtainable at all this time of year.(assuming the sharks can’t hunt very far away, I mean they would surely die so) so..what do the sharks do? They can’t hunt, their resources are already as scarce enough as it is, and there really isn’t anything else around the castle..errrr..cave(?)

so what do they do? They have kids and elderly to feed! Sure they can could a bit without eating, but then what?

this is when it gets all edgy, and boo me all you want yeah IM CRINGE SURE WHATEVERRRRR

Sharks are known to eat each othe- NO DONT CLICK AWAY JUST HERE ME OUT… sharks can be!! Cannibalistic.! I’m sure you can tell where I’m going with this but I’m going to lay it flat just in case

The sharks resort to eating….,well I’m not sure if they’d be already dead, or dying, sharks. Either way! They’re suffering! They’re sharks! And they’re starved for food.

Now another way this headcanon can go is a little bit more morally gray, as we’ve seen sirens parents be(um maybe?) not sure if I’ve already talked about my shoal theories here BUT ANYWAY! Picture this, sirens dad, canonically, is a nurse. And siren is just lets say like 7 or 8, before he leaves(or maybe this is what drives him to leave) regardless, it’s winter, and shoals family is starving . So..what does he do!! as lightly as I can put this, he just secretly feed them the remains of others. He has the ability to do it I mean he’s a nurse. He can like do that…I guess. Point is, sometimes (actually ALL the time) nurses are forced to do things others won’t agree with based of their morals. And in a situation where they were all desperate, this doesn’t seem that far out of the question. We ALL SAW THE END OF EPISODE 169.. castle swimmer has not shied away from being dark
