And please, take the time to let the potion maker know how much you enjoyed these masterpieces, it will certainly make their day. (Comments are just good to say in general!)

Without further ado~

Girldad Tomura by @/cwtomura - tomura x fem!reader: the best way to describe this truly can only be poetic fluff - lines like “Morning dew frosted in the freezing temperatures that have you clinging to Tomura’s warmth” and “You giggle quietly when you feel Tomura hold the breath he’d inhaled, like if he was quiet his five year old won’t slam the door open as she’s done many times before and pounce on you both” (there are more, believe me!) not only paints a serene scene but it helps to place the reader in an unmatched sense of comfort and domestic bliss; you feel like wanting to snuggle closer into the blankets because the room feel cold, that you want to cuddle close to Tomura because you love him, that you want to giggle along to the daughter’s antics. This is just sweet, and beautiful, and I adore it. 🍰

that time you both fell by @/eightonenine - royalguard!osamu x princess!reader: now, it is no surprise that I love Royal AUs; so it comes as no surprise that I love this. I love how simple, and yet engaging the world building is, you immediately feel at home as a royal and the situation brought forth - the ire of dealing with people of court trying to, well, court you and the desire to just have a moment of freedom. And just the relationship reader has with Osamu; how perfectly built as someone who has always been there that you cannot help but be reassured and find comfort in his presence while also being annoyed; how easily it is to grow fond of him and the banter showcases this. The way he mocks the reader but will instantly be by her side to protect her is peak budding romance and if the story were to continue I would eat it all up! 🍰

Hugs with Suna Rintarou by @/bakuroo-writings - suna rintarou x f!reader: the beginning is so well done to establish the sorrow of the siutation; like I don’t want to be away from Suna for so long, but the way he’s so reassuring makes me feel like things will be alright. And of course the almost frenzied desperation every time they are reunited makes it all the more believable that they are in love and that they do in fact miss each other. And of course, just how real everything is in the months that progress as they’re apart - the sweet things like the promise ring, to the bitter like calling trips off last minute and realizing how big the chasm is from the distance to the devastating when it all falls apart. And, of course, you can’t help but want things to turn around and work out in the end, and this fic is so good in showcasing what usually happens while also giving into that indulgence. I’m happy things turned out well in the end for Suna and reader, but even more so that there was that tribulation in between! Really hit all the romance story checkboxes for me 🍰

Surprise with Kuroo Tetsurou by @/bakuroo-writings - kuroo tetsurou x f!reader: the domestic opening of this fic really warmed my heart; I love when the scene is set and it just feels so homely. I also love just that bit of realistic angst that’s apart of it too - the irritation of having a rough day and accidentally taking it out on someone - but I love how it all ties together; how excited he gets and how happy he is and how he shows it, all clingy as he whispers the future in your ear *swoons*  🍰 (hint of💧)

Game Over by @/tetsurousharlot - suna rintarou x f!reader: I remember reading this when it first came out and enjoying it just fine - Suna isn’t my most favourite character in HQ but still, I enjoyed this. But reading it again, oh boy did I have so much more love to give to this the second time around. I love when romantic storys with a ‘meet-ugly’ instead of a ‘meet-cute’; much like Pride and Prejudice, it starts out on the wrong foot and it takes even more effort to actually get to the point of believable romance and love and I love that slow burn; and it is played so well here, I love that Atsumu is a meddler, love when fake loves turns into real love, all of it. It’s Game Over for me now cause I am in love and I just want this made into a movie 💧 🔞

A Better Man by @/tetsurousharlot - demon!dabi x virgin f!reader: Listen, for some reaon fics that have demons in them are like any Fantasy AU, I just go feral for them; this is no exception. Longer fics are just able to really set the scene, the mood, and coney such strong emotions that by the end you feel like a changed person; I feel like one because Dabi is not one of my favourite characters but now I’m starting to like him more after reading this - he’s just so devious and charming in this that I can help but be swayed, and I suppose that is the point given he is a demon. And of course the smut, to say I got hot under the collar would not be a lie, it was so steamy and relentless (in the best way) that I could actually drool over it. I suppose now I like Dabi, that’s what this fic did to me ⚠️🔞

The Ruthless Prince (series) by @/primofate - scaramouche x f!reader: to say I love Royal Au’s is an understatement; because truthfully I adore them and the fun and interesting worlds you can create within the set dynamics and structures. And this? This is a prime example as to why I love them as much as I do. The story, the characters and how they act, the slow burn that you can’t help but want to keep reading because you want to know more and see where things end up, are made to utter perfection. This story is captivating and I was hooked since chapter one, though Scaramouche is a little tough to digest at the beginning I fell in love by the end and thats the mark of a good story teller. Anyone who loves this fandom and/or Royal Au’s should not miss this at all. ⚠️ 💧 (some chapters 🔞)

the flower garden. by @/daddymaki - katsuki bakugo x reader: I love how real this all feels, from awkward encounters to the air budding relationships bring to the reality of how some people act to those that are different. It really is a perfect fic to highlight just how mundane a slice of life can be, from the dragging downs to the small bits of life that keep you going. I liked this a lot, not because of how giddy and happy it made me feel (though it did at some points) but by how real it was, and thus in turn brought to life how real sweetness can be shown, and how wonderful finding comfort in another is. 🍰

The Expanse by @/simultaneously-sick-and-calm - yagi toshinori x afab!reader: wow, if there ever was a fic that brings the sorrow of ‘all good things come to an end’ it’s certainly this one. But what I like about this, is that it’s not just focused on the angst that brings, but rather that it showcases that no matter what there is always a glimmer of hope within things like this - that even if it ends there are the happy memories - and in this case that even if fear makes you end something good, that hope and love can possibly bring it back together; and I don’t know I just like that sort of optimism, it really showcases the light in the darkness. I guess what I am trying to say, poorly, is that this is beautiful and I loved it 💧🔞

Wish by @/meggsngrits - pro-hero bakugou x mangaka!reader: Listen, but like listen, if you love romance stories that start off with the main character in a rough spot (the ones where they went through a rough breakup or just going through the motions) and then slowly over time they meet someone new and regain that feeling of warmth and comfort, that love is good again? AND have it centered around the holidays? AND include the wonderful troupe of fake dating? Then this is for you. Chapters aren't too long but they have so much weight in what they say, they describe so much with so little, and you really feel yourself getting lost into the world around you; into the feelings, every character is facing. This is just really a series to read when you want a pick-me-up, it really is. I personally will re-read it again 🔞

Sacrilege by @/kaidabakugou - priest!bakugou X demon!reader: I read this when it first came out, and was hooked, and there is a reason why. First of all Kaida can do no wrong, there is a reason she is an amazing writer and this is merely just one piece of proof. Second, the atmosphere this fic immediately brings you into - dark and gothic - will get you instantly hooked on the idea and what to see will happen next. And the tension once reader shows up could be cut with a knife it is so well done, it verges on both the dangerous and sexual and I eat it up. And when it finally gets to the smut? Boy howdy does it make you drool; how demanding Bakugou is as he forces reader to worship him but is also gentle in how he talks to them? Can make anyone hot all over, which I suppose is the point. Despite what it may say otherwise, this is a blessed read. ⚠️ 🔞

The Mighty Passion by @/kaidabakugou - forest god vidar!bakugou x elf!reader: i said it once, and I’ll say it again, this fic is gorgeous! I have already gushed about it a fair few times, but it really does deserve so much praise! The amount of work that went into it, you can totally feel and tell but in a good way. The history, the lore, the storytelling are so rich that you just feel immediately absorbed into the world; you feel like you’ve always been apart of it. And the relationship building is utter perfection; this fic, to me as someone who lost mythology based fics, is as close to perfection you can get - I truly believe this is something everyone should read, regardless if you like mythic stories, because it’s that much of a treat. 🔞

'as above, so below' by @/vampyrsm - demon king!bakugou x reader: *insert sweat meme here* another demon fic with Bakugou, only this time he’s the demon, and like there is something about that paring that’s just so GOOD. And I mean everything in this is just so hot, like really everything that Alex does just hit so hard and leaves you breathless and still has you begging for more and like yes, please. I loved everything in this, from the transformation of a naive reader to one who is totally and utterly corrupted, and everything thing in between. I don’t even have the words to describe further how delicious this fic is, you really just have to take the dive and see for yourself; you will find it worth your time.🔞

Save Your Tears by @/vampyrsm - bakugou x reader: this one is not for the faint of heart, it’s a very heavy story with very heavy themes, but if you are up for it you will not regret it because it is beautiful. It really is how life can be, so overwhelming and loud, and oftentimes too much to bear, and yet there is some good. And yet, you can find someone out there who will show you what kindness really is, and that in and of itself is just a lovely thing. And I just like how Bakugou provides that softness, that loving care, instead of the other way around - it’s a nice change to see. And of course the ending….. I won’t give it away but it’s certainly one that leaves you sitting and thinking over it after you read it; letting you go through all sorts of emotions like any amazing story should. ⚠️💧🔞

Feeling Alive by @/katsukiizmoon bakugou x f!reader: A Fantasy AU (love how many I got for these because I truly cannot help but love them so much) and this one is just as amazing and well-written as the best of them and is now one of my favourites I have read. I love the visuals this story gives, how it describes movement and feelings, I love how sweet the romance and interactions with Bakugou are, I just love this fic. It’s sweet, it’s romantic, it really is everything you could ever want from a Fantasy AU, all tied together in a beautiful bow. If you haven't read it, you are missing out because it’s just so gosh darn good. 🔞

Pheromone by @/kweenkatsuki - alpha!bakugou x f!reader (A/B/O): okay, so, if I am honest A/B/O fics are pretty hit and miss for me, it has to be a certain kind to make me not only want to read it but to enjoy it as well; I am glad to say that this is one of those times where I loved every moment of it. But of course, what else can you expect from the amazing Marquie? She knows how to write and this is proof of that. She mastered the power dynamics and power play involved to perfection, it was gripping, entertaining, and steamy all in the right places. The friendship in this with Reader and Momo is also a real big highlight, the strength they have with each other as they traverse the world they live in is so endearing, wonder, and perfect. All of this is perfect, again I am not surprised cause it’s Marquie, and even if you are not a big fan of this AU - like me - it’s still worth a read because it is that good. 🔞

Art Lover by @/meggsngrits - artist!Yuuji x fairy!reader: a Fantasy AU mixed with a Mafia AU, two very separate tones and yet Meg combines them perfectly! Just the fact that Yuuji is just down on his luck and desperate that he feels like Reader is a saving grace, and unbeknownst falls even further into madness and trouble - like there is something so beautifully tragic in that story that you just can’t help but love. And of course, I love how reader just tricks him like the fool he is, wraps him around her finger and claims him. Trapped in the beginning, only to be trapped in the end, how poetic and perfect~ ⚠️🔞

Devotion by @/katsukikitten - akaze x f!reader: Again, Kitten really knows what she is doing and everything she touches is gold. The tension that opens this fic, that makes you feel the dread of being hunted, is so good to lead up to the inevitable; meeting Akaza. And then the tension of trying to gain the upper hand, to gain control is so delectable - love that reader has a fighting spirit and so does Akaza. And his desire to corrupt the reader? It’s to die for. When he finally has them to himself and fucks them; making it seem like gift worth of devotion and him being so enamored with them that he can’t help but steal you away makes me swoon and go feral. Another shining star is Kitten’s sky, and I am not surprised at all. ⚠️ 🔞

Money Shot by @/katsukikitten - bakugou katsuki x f!reader: who doesn’t love a Porn Star/Cam Gir AU? I know I personally love it, and quite frankly I don’t know many who can write about it as good as Kitten can. And we just jump right into the world; the raunchy fun that it is and I love it. I love that both reader is a little shy and apprehensive at first - which makes perfect sense -  and that Bakugou is able to reassure her and make her feel at ease; I love that both of them see this as a job at first before getting lost in it all, getting lost in each other. Love that Bakugou fully devours the reader because he just can’t help it, that he gets the happy ending he’s looking for AND then some. Just loved this, all of this was utter perfection in the most sinful of ways. 🔞

Making a Spectacle by @/fuzzatnight - denki kamiari x f!reader: this was just a whole lot of fun - the energy the fic has was infectious that I had a giant smile on my face throughout most of it. Some parts were that perfect kind of cringe, the kind that makes you laugh and feel more endeared to the character (in this case Kaminari) and want to keep going rather than turning you off and making you stop reading; which is a tough thing to pull off! Denki si just adorable all throughout, and I enjoyed the relationship he had with reader, how sweet it all was. A bit of a laugh on the plots of porn, but with a fun pay-off and actually good smut at the end, can’t really go wrong with this - at least in my eyes  🔞

I Just Want to be Loved by Yuu @/fuzzatnight - nishinoya yuu x chubby!reader: much like with ‘Making a Spectacle’ this fic is filled with fun and sweetness; I am immediately endeared to Nishinoya as he struggles with wanting to continue to travel but the loneliness it gives him makes him pause. I love how he just has the most perfect recollection when he remembers meeting reader for the first time - time, date, where it was, everything. And to how he is just drawn to reader, and finds just so many reasons to love them; it’s really earnest and sweet, especially their banter and how their relationship blooms, that I couldn’t help but smile as I enjoyed the ride with them. I love how reassuring he was to reader as well, knowing their insecurities and doing his best to prove that he adores them anyway. The smut is just as sweet and wonderful as the love story, how slow and reassuring he is as he takes his to appreciate the reader for all she is was really beautiful to read. Nishinoya is truly underrated which makes me so happy there are fics like this out there; because he’s truly perfect. 🍰🔞

The Cruise Universe by @/bfbkg - bakugou katsuki x reader: when does Luna go wrong? Really, when? Because this is just simply another masterpiece that I can think of her; if you have the time to read even just ONE piece you will not regret it, and let’s face it, you’ll be hooked and just have to keep going. And is also nice is that it’s not bound to normal narrative structure; you could read one piece and skip ahead and not be lost, which is always appreciated. The scenarios, the banter, the interactions, ALL of it is just utter fun and gold. Much like being at the beach, I’m going to enjoy all these waves 🍰 (some chapters 🔞)

Hawks in Ruts by @/aquadenks - hawks x f!reader: feral is the only way I can describe this piece, and I suppose that’s the point, but how wonderfully descriptive the writing is that makes you want to do what both reader and Hawks are doing - squirm away but still beg and want for more. And it’s clear as well how much they both adore and care for each other; even if Hawks keeps breaking his promise about it being “the last time”; it’s a fic perfect for those that wish to indulge into Hawk’s springtime rut fantasies. 🔞 Kitten by @/kleftiko (pt 2) - gentleman!aizawa x fem!stripper!reader (warning, slight choking): ‘you were chipping away and he was breaking’ what a raw line, one that so perfectly defined the relationship of the reader and Aizawa; he’s apprehensive of being with you, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want you. And these two fics both perfectly (and swiftly) set up this factor before deliciously hurtling ending on a note that makes you want to read more; how tortuous but how fitting. And then, immediately, deliciously it hurtles you into what happens when finally does reach his breaking point - a delectable quick read if there ever was one. 🔞

I hope you enjoyed, dear traveler

🌿 ♡ Halsin NSFW Headcanon Drabble ♡ 🌿

Pairing: Halsin x Reader (GN)

WC: ~600

Warnings: 18+, NSFW. Smut. Mentions of marking, possessiveness, some fluffiness. Reader/Tav not described besides having soft skin.

A/N: I’ve been having major Halsin thots and had to get them on a page (hence the bulleted list). Enjoy, my fellow big Druid lovers. 😊

You are like nothing else he has ever experienced in his long life. 

He craves you, an insatiable hunger that burns his body from the inside out, and only you can tame that raging fire within him.

Your lips, your gentle touch, your sounds…

You are the rising sun, the soft glow of the moon, the peaceful breeze on a summer’s day, and life at the onset of spring.

Sometimes he wondered if he was a dead man walking, a specter of some sort, because being with you was heaven, or what he imagined it to be.

Halsin has to continuously control himself around you, at least while others are around.

When the camp was quiet and he had you all to himself, was when he could absolutely and utterly devour you, show you just how much he longs for you.

You let him lose control, wanting it, craving it yourself. 

You want to feel his fingers dig into your thighs, hear his louder and louder moans as you take more and more of him so, so willingly. 

When you are very much warmed up by his tongue and fingers, he finally fills you, sinking himself into you inch by inch, careful to never harm you and checking that it was never too much.

Halsin loves praising you, breathlessly comparing you to everything extraordinary and exquisite in nature and beyond.

His honeyed words spur you both on as his pace increases, the head of his cock caressing that spot so deep inside you it leaves you boneless and seeing galaxies.

You know he still holds back, the bear desperate to claw its way out, the primal urge raging under his skin as he pounds into you.

Halsin always wants your pleasure before his, making sure to get multiple orgasms out of you before he finishes. 

The way your body reacts, the way his name from your lips transforms from breathy whimpers to guttural moans of pure ecstasy is seared into his memories until the end of time, and that will still never be enough.

When you are finally spent, flushed and sweaty and thoroughly loved, is when Halsin takes what is his.

He loves flipping you on your stomach, gripping your thighs and pulling you up toward him, sinking into you with one thrust.

He mounts you, caging you in with his body, his bulging forearms on either side of your head, his lips at your ear, his broad chest pressing to your back.

You love it, feeling protected by him, encapsulated by everything that was Halsin.

The man, the bear, your lover, your mate. 

He is always able to get deeper in this angle, his fingers digging into the grass and dirt beneath you, his hot, growling breath on your neck as he finally loses his control.

Your soft body beneath him, the trust you have in him, the love in your eyes even as he fucks you relentlessly like a beast in heat, always brings him to his end, intense and blinding and all-consuming.

When you bask in the afterglow, Halsin carefully maneuvers you, checking you for any wounds he may have accidentally inflicted in the height of passion.

There’s usually a bruise or bite-mark or two, and you have to convince him it’s fine. 

You can tell he always feels bad after losing a bit of control, but part of him loves the fact that he’s able to see the marks on your body, reminding you and anyone else that you were his.

Then you lay in the grass, gazing up at the stars, your head on his chest.

He loves telling you stories about the constellations, and his deep timbre always lulls you into a peaceful sleep, with him following soon after, content in one another’s embrace.

Good Omens graphic novel update: June 2024

Welcome to the June update. A lot of behind the scenes work at the moment but we're grabbing the travel sweets, popping in the Bentley and hitting the road. More on that below.

Admin

Ongoing reminder that the project FAQ can be found here. 

I pledged using my Apple ID, or no longer use the address my pledge is attached to, or I cannot work out what email address my pledge is connected to. What should I do? Please contact us via your Kickstarter account where the pledge is connected; we will be able to see on our system which address it is. If it's one you have access to, great! The FAQ has information on how to resend your invite link to access the PledgeManager. If it's one you are not able to access, then you can let us know which email is preferred and we can update this on the system, which will automatically send a new invite.

Events

We've had a lot of queries about when the Good Omens team will be attending events more formally, after some Aziraphale and Crowley spotting at conventions we'd been to previously. Well, we're excited to confirm the first: Good Omens HQ will be at ACME Comic Con in Glasgow, Scotland this September.

We'll be bringing the actual-real-life-home-to-Crowley-and-his-plants Bentley from Season 2 of Good Omens, the first time the car has been made available publicly for fans to come see and get photos with, ahead of its journey back to the set and the start of Season 3 filming.

We also see Quelin Sepulveda, aka Muriel, has been announced for the event for some additional ineffable joy.

You can get your tickets for ACME Comic Con here. We hope to see some of you there.

While we won't be rocking up with the Bentley to this next one, we want to let you know about Ineffable Con which, though sold out in person, is also taking place virtually in July. The fan-run event hosts great panels, auctions and more, with money raised going to Alzheimer’s Research UK, in memory of Sir Terry Pratchett.

Where next? We have - not an exaggeration - a list of about 200 events somewhere from when we asked fans this on Instagram and while we can't promise quite that amount of convention attendance, we're certainly looking to do some more things in future with Good Omens at large. Watch this space.  

Good Omens items...

This month has largely seen prototypes and samples for the wider Good Omens merch store arriving, and while we can't share those yet, we are certainly excited to see more fan product suggestions coming to life. That does, however, leave our public item updates a little slim on the ground.

To make up for that, here's some new panels from Colleen:

Also known as, "What could possibly go wrong?" And:

Also known as, "Well why don't you ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇!@#▇" or words to that effect, we'd imagine.  

Update from Colleen

Following such a positive response to Colleen's piece last month, bringing you behind the scenes into making the Good Omens graphic novel, we are delighted to say that she has agreed to write something for our updates going forward! For June, she's going more in depth into the process of flatting and the technicalities of colouring on screen vs print. Over to you, Colleen.

---

I mentioned the other month that I use a flatter to help me with technical work on GOOD OMENS, and here is a great example.

This is my original, hand drawn line art.

And this is the flatting file which was created using the MultiFill computer program.

It will put your eyes out.

The raw image above demonstrates how the color art lines up solidly under the line art. If it doesn't do that, you get a weird phenomenon in print called ghosting, a tiny little line of white around each segment of color. I had this issue on one major project and ended up redoing every single color file after I got a look at the first printing. Nearly two weeks of work.

The same image with the line art on top.

The layer order looks like this.

Background copy is the clean, line art layer.

I scan the art at 600 dpi, then make the blacks pure black, the whites pure white. Then I convert back to greyscale, then RGB, then duplicate the layer. Then I delete the white on the upper layer so the line art layer is transparent but the blacks on that layer are not.

If you have blacks on a layer that has been multiplied, you can see slight color through those blacks. You want pure black.

The lower layer is where I use the MultiFill program to create the digital flats. First you use MultiFill to drop in the random colors, then the companion plug-in Flatter Pro to make those colors seal under the black lines.

This probably sounds like a silly thing to worry about, but if the flat colors don’t line up perfectly under the black line art, you get the dreaded ghosting I mentioned. You can see it below in this image. It’s a tiny little white line that will appear around the black lines and color areas.

This drives me nuts and is an absolute nightmare to fix.

It’s a very common problem, especially for people who work for web and don’t anticipate the problems going from web to print.

What looks great on your computer can cause big problems in print.

From here, my flatter Jul Mae Kristoffer, who is way over in the Philippines, does flatting that is more in keeping with the areas of color I want to isolate. As you see on Layer 1.

But again, this is still pretty ugly, and not what I would use for final color. Flatting is a technical issue, not a creative one, though in some cases a flatter will make choices you may use. Most of the time they don't.

Here is my final color page.

Sometimes my MultiFill flats are so wonky I have a hard time getting my brain to snap out of what I see before me. If I get stuck, it's a good idea to just pick at it and come back to it later.

If it really, really bothers me, I’ll take the MultiFill flatter layer and desaturate the color so it doesn’t poke my eyes out.

Here’s an example. The digital flat file.

The desaturated flat file that doesn’t make me want to poke my eyes out.

And the final color.

Sometimes I just put in a solid white layer so I don’t see the flats at all. Flatting is there to allow you to easily pick spots to color in, and doesn’t usually appear in the final work.

Sometimes I want to create my colors using transparent color over a white ground, which is more delicate in the final.

Here’s an example from Neil Gaiman’s American Gods. I also selected all black line art here and converted it to sepia to give it a vintage look. Except for the fairies. They’re green.

A colorist must also consider color settings.

Different clients can have different requirements. I find these color settings, which I got from the Hi-Fi Studio, to be pretty solid. I use them as my default for all my projects unless otherwise requested. If your publisher has other settings, they’ll usually send you a csf file which you can upload to Photoshop. The program will save your files and you can just switch between them as you need them.

This tells the printer things about the paper and the spread of the ink you will use. That’s what dot gain means - it makes printed color look darker than intended, so you set up your files to account for it.

When you hover your pointer over each box, it will tell you what each setting is supposed to accomplish.

Another really important thing to consider when coloring comics is color range.

I’m coloring this book in RGB range, but for print you use CMYK.

I’m about to confuse the heck out of some people with this post, I’m afraid. But here we go.

Here is this shot in RGB color setting.

And here is the same page calibrated for print in CMYK.

The biggest shift is in the reds. Print cannot match those reds.

You may not see much difference here, but it’s the sort of thing that drives artists crazy.

A computer should be perfect for conveying exactly what you want, right? It's all just 0's and 1's, binary information, and that information should be the same from one computer to the next?

Nope. Not even close.

First off, computer monitors must be calibrated. You can use a computer program or a tool that measures the color on your computer screen and then adjusts the color to an industry standard.

Have you ever been in an electronics shop where a bunch of TV shows were on display, all of them playing the same show, and have you noticed how different the color was from one TV to the next?

It's like that.

I freely admit I don't pay a whole lot of attention to calibration, but if I were a professional photographer I would. I'd have a little spectrometer attached to my screen and software would adjust my monitor to the best possible standard range. As it is, I just use the default setting on my computer and hope for the best.

If your monitor is properly calibrated and your art is shown on another monitor that is properly calibrated, the art will look almost identical from one monitor to the next.

YAY!

But from one monitor to the next, that's about where the resemblance ends.

Colors are calibrated to something called RGB, or Red, Green, Blue.

All colors come from a mix of red green and blue. At their greatest intensity, all the colors in the spectrum together become pure white light.

This is why RGB is called ADDITIVE color, because you ADD colors from the spectrum to get ALL colors, and all colors create the entirety of the rainbow, and pure white light.

Your computer monitor, your phone, your television, all images are created via light using RGB, a gamut that covers all possible colors that can be created.

That's a lot.

And that's why some of the colors you see on your TV or phone are so deep and intense.

For the widest possible range of color and intensity, you use RGB.

Unfortunately, there is what you can create with light, and then there is what you can create with pigment or ink. And that is why printing what you see on your computer almost never looks exactly like what you see in a book.

For printing, you must use a color setting known as CMYK. This stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key/Black.

In printing, the pure blue is actually Cyan and the pure red is actually Magenta.

CMYK color range is not created by addition, but by SUBTRACTION. In order to get the color you want, you reduce the percentage of one of the four colors for ink mixing. Mixing all colors, instead of giving you white, gives you black.

The gamut of CMYK is limited to what can be created with ink.

You've probably heard the term four color press? This is what that means. Four colors, with each color of ink run over the paper on rollers which, combined in varying layers of opacity, create all the printing colors you see.

But remember, what you see on your computer monitor and what CMYK gamut can handle are two different things.

Now, I’ve been really careful with the color settings on Good Omens, so there haven’t been any big surprises, but let me show you a snippet of a project I did for the French fashion house Balmain.

The RGB version:

And then this shot after it was converted to a CMYK file for print.

That's a pretty big difference.

Now, you see this shift mostly with vibrant colors, such as that pink there. But other colors hardly changed at all, right?

That's because this issue is about range of color. CMYK and RGB occupy a shared range which you can see demonstrated by this graphic I got from Wikipedia.

The graphic shows the RGB ranges supported by various digital formats. SWOP CMYK is the most common range my publishers use. Note that the bounding box line shared by the RGB and SWOP CMYK formats shares about half the range space. So whatever RGB colors you use that are outside that range will be digitally converted to the smaller SWOP CMYK range.

And you may not like what you end up with.

As you can see, some of the most ethereal and intense colors get lost outside of the SWOP CMYK boundary.

A look at the Dark Horse Comics color settings in Photoshop. Theoretically, this information should prevent your art from looking like mud on publication.

Now, after I just told you the dangers of coloring in RGB then converting to CMYK for print, I tell you I am coloring Good Omens in RGB anyway. There’s a couple of reasons for this.

Remember, RGB give you a greater range of color, so it can be to your advantage to preserve your original files using a format that gives you the greatest range.

Again, here is the unaltered file.

You can see what the CMYK result will be simply by clicking the Proof Colors button here. This will show you how the art will convert.

And the Gamut Warning will show you which colors are out of gamut range for print.

The intensity of that magenta and that purple in the top right are not going to print true.

This is how it will look in final.

So even if you do what you think is perfect color on screen, there is no way it can perfectly convert to print. Almost everything will involve a little bit of compromise.

Even though you have to consider the color shift issues, preserving your files in RGB gives you greater wiggle room, especially if you get lucky someday and get to work with a printer who can print in 6 colors. Or maybe some technology you don’t know about will pop up and make printing super glorious. Who knows.

Regardless, you should keep an eye on that gamut and color for CMYK print, while preserving your master files in RGB.

Until next time.

unfold — RAFE CAMERON

authors note sorry for not posting as much with fics, life got a little to serious for a moment. huge thank you for 600+ followers you guys are absolutely amazing ugh. this idea came in mind randomly one day and rafe little unfolding with his enemy is...

summary you have been rafe camerons shit list for a long time now. what happens when you attend a party at tannyhill and somehow make Rafe cameron fold

warnings mentions of smoking, drinking, cussing, partying

Rafe Cameron, kook king, as people would say.

He’s one of the most popular people in outer banks. Just hearing his name sends shivers down people's spines. He has girls practically on their knees for him left and right. There’s something about him that captivates them.

But, you don't want to mess with him either. You don’t want to be on his bad side. When he walks into a room, everyone stops and looks at him with fear or wondering what he's gonna do. He loves the fact that he has that effect on others. It helps boost his ego.

Rafe Cameron, on the other hand, has had you on his shitlist for a long time. You enjoy antagonizing and teasing him. You enjoy seeing him furious when you do things that irritate him. People warn you, but you dismiss them since he never does anything about it. He’s never and will never do anything in ways to hurt you physically. 

Rafe’s throwing a party at his house tonight. Of course he didn’t invite you. He knows you’ll show up regardless because that's how you are. Word spreads quickly on the island.

"Y/N, I didn't expect to see you here?" stated one of your close friends, Hailey, smiles as she hugged you.

You initially stated that you would not attend a party because you were not in the mood to do anything this weekend other than sit at home and watch movies. However, once you found that Rafe was throwing a party and happened to live down the road from you, you had no choice but to come and make your presence known. 

“Oh well you know me, gotta make my presence known” you chuckle, taking a sip of your drink, scanning the room.

“If you wanna find Rafe, I’m pretty sure he’s somewhere in the living room or doing coke out back with the guys” Hailey whispers in your ear, winking.

Hailey is very well aware that you enjoy annoying the crap out of the Cameron boy. She claims it's for her own entertainment. She's waiting for you two to crack because she knows you are into each other but won't confess it.

"Let's go on the dance floor?" You insist as you take her hand in yours and walk her past the crowd to the living room.

The two of you start dancing to the beat of the music. A few people you recognize from school come up, catching you off by surprise. You girls end up dancing with each other for half of the night alongside the crowd.

“I’m gonna head to the bathroom real quick” you whisper in her ear. 

“Okay, be safe” she replies back, squeezing your hand before you start walking away.

You bump into a muscular body on your way to the bathroom, and you look up to Rafe, who is already glaring down at you with a stern expression, as if he's about to argue about the fact that you're at his party. You can sense the tension in his body building. You like it.

A smile forms on your lips, and your pointer finger grips and plays with his chain, "looks like someone isn't happy to see me, huh?" You sarcastically remark, waiting for him to snatch your hand away from his chain.

"My night was going great before I bumped into you, Y/N," he replies with a harsh tone with a slight hint sarcastic, rolling his eyes. 

"Aw, are you not excited to see me?" you cynically pout.

Rafe is trying so hard to go off like he usually does with you. You know how to get under his skin unlike anyone else. He hates that you have that effect on him that just snaps.

"You really don't want to start it with me right now, Y/N," he says harshly and sternly. Looking in his eyes, you can see he's had coke and drank.

"Oh, but I really want to start, Rafe," you remark as you move closer, chests meeting.

You couldn’t help but feel the sexual tension growing between the both of you. This is the first time you are feeling it. You’ve always wondered why he never did anything about your behavior towards him. Actually, no one doesn’t know why, only Rafe does. 

Hailey stood a few feet away, watching the whole thing unfold. She had to remove herself from the large crowd of people around her to watch her best friend.

Before Rafe can respond, Kelce walks up to tell Rafe to go in the backyard because there’s something he needs to show him.

"Oh, hey Y/N, it's good to see you and looking beautiful as always" Kelce smiles giving you a warm hug.

"It's to see you too Kelce and thank you" you reply while pulling away from the hug.

“Nice seeing you Rafe” you wave innocently, smiling, then flipping him off with a straight face.

You both know you’ll run into each other again tonight.

When you make your way back to Hailey, she’s laughing over the interaction she watched. You tell her to shut it before she says anything else. You drag her down the hall into the bathroom to pee and talk about what happened.

“I love seeing you do that to him” Hailey laughs, taking a sip of her drink, jumping on the bathroom sink.

In answer, you grin, lifting your finger and moving it back and forth, "The way he was ready to go off on me but cut off when Kelce told him to go in the backyard made me wanna laugh in his face."

After the bathroom, you both headed into the kitchen to get another drink from the coolers. The kitchen was occupied with people getting drinks or simply standing and talking.

Hailey began talking to this guy she'd been eyeing for a while. 

You lean in to whisper in her ear, "I'm gonna let you be, call or text me if you need anything," and she smiles back, reassuring you she’ll be okay.

You scan the room, unsure of what or who you're looking for. Something inside you tells you to go find Rafe and annoy the living shit out of him. Topper and Kelce noticed you examining the room from afar and approached you. 

The two wave as they approach you, you wave back smiling.

“Hello boys” you smile, “enjoying the party?” you ask, taking a sip of your drink.

The last time you saw Kelce he was drunk but not drunk enough. Now here he is half an hour later crossed.

“Fuck yeah, we are crossed” Kelce chuckles, throwing his head back.

Topper agrees with a nod.

“Oh, I can tell,” you reply.

Topper turns around when he sees Rafe making his way over. The two boys take a step back, revealing you. Rafe stops his tracks, rolling his eyes, tongue runs over his bottom lip, annoyed.

Perfect timing to annoy him.

The two boys let out a chuckle, shaking their heads from the look on Rafe’s furious look. 

Something leads you to take Rafe's hand and lead him to the large crowd. You follow your gut and approach him gently. You gaze up to him, who is already staring at you with such intensity that it sends shivers down your spine. You grab his hand in yours and bring him towards the large crowd in the living room.

Topper and Kelce’s jaws dropped when they watched Rafe follow you into the crowd. For one, Rafe never does that with you, ever. They give each other the look of you just saw that too look.

"Please tell me Rafe just let her do that?" Topper blurts with confusion spread all over his face.

Kelce rubbed his eye to make sure he was seeing the same thing as Topper.

When you come to stop, turn around and face him. You can tell he's irritated that you dragged him to the center of the dance floor. But you're wondering why he let you do it.

"Why did you lead me here, Y/N?" Rafe questions.

"I wanna dance, Rafe, and you are gonna dance with me," you chuckle, grabbing both Rafe's hands and resting them on your waist while maintaining eye contact with him.

He shrugs his shoulders, turns your body around, making you gasp, catching you off guard. Now your back is against his front. 

You tilt your head back, swaying your hips to the rhythm of the music while his hands rest themselves on your waist.

As you continue to dance to the music, Rafe leans down to your ear, “you are playing a dangerous game with me, Y/N” the thrill in your blood went through the roof by his comment.

With a smirk, you close your eyes and place your left hand on the back of his neck, drawing his head down so you could whisper in his ear. The sound of his steady breathing may be felt against your skin.

"What kind of game are you implying?" you asked, touching the ends of his hair behind his head.

"C'mon, you can't tell me you haven't been enjoying this, Y/N? You know what I mean," he says, knowing what he means as he’s directing both hands from your waist to the center of your stomach and back to your waist, attempting to catch you off guard, but you refuse to let it happen.

You know that he knows you love annoying the shit out of him but he can tell by the way your body reacts to his touch that has him a little intrigued.

In reaction, you back yourself into his front, drawing a sigh from his lips before spinning around, stepping on your tiptoes and putting your arms around his neck.

You feel something hard pressing against your stomach. In that moment you knew where the night was gonna take you both.

You two make eye contact.

You notice his eyes looking at your lips then your eyes, going back and forth.

“If you’re gonna look at my lips you should just kiss them” you remark with sass which didn’t make him quite happy but you didn’t care.

He leans closer, and your faces get inches closer and closer. At this time, both of your breaths are increasing, but no one is moving. You lean forward and extend the tip of your tongue, allowing it to touch Rafe's upper lip.

Rafe's demeanor shifted, which concerned you a little because you'd seen how aggressive he can be but he'd never hurt you. He grabs your wrist and brings you through the enormous home and upstairs to his bedroom, which is down a hallway and out of hearing. 

As you passed past people, they were taken aback to find you holding hands with Rafe Cameron as you walked the stairs. You can imagine the amount of discussion and publishing on social media.

"You never know when to shut up and take a hint, little one," he says with his back to you, locking his bedroom door before turning around backing you up against the edge of his bed.

"I actually do know when to shut up, mister," you respond, still standing firm. 

Rafe catches you off guard by pushing you onto his bed, opening your legs so he can stand between them, and smoothly moving his hands up and down your thighs. 

"Oh, do you, Princess? Let's see how that goes while you're screaming my name beneath me.”

request for reader struggling/acting out because of their adhd or like teen!reader always in trouble with older members of the team for something because of going along with KCCs antics and pranks

HYPER — arsenal women x reader

this has been a long time coming! but it’s finally here!! BUT i do wanna say thank you for 600 followers. i appreciate each and every single one of you that reads and interacts with my blog — forehead kisses to you all<33

masterlist

being the youngest on the team had it's benefits like you were basically everyone's honorary little sister and you always had your teammates looking out for you. however with every benefit came with a bad thing like you always had your teammates looking out for you and watching your every move.

this meant that sometimes your fun got cut short by one of the older members and the lecture would begin. it was like being back at school again and being told off for flicking a pen at someone.

it's not like you liked being in trouble it just seamed to follow you for some reason.

"are we gonna have a good session today, y/n?" kim asked her eye brows rising slightly as you both walked out to training side by side, you smiling innocently, "i always have a good session kimmy!"

you giggled rushing off, kim sighing saying her prays for the day in her head that everything would run soomthly today. although that innocent- or non so innocent smile you just flashed the captain told her everything she needed.

you running ahead to find your right hand, in the name of kyra cooney-cross. or as the rest of the squad would call her your partner in crime.

"hey kyra!" you yelled jumping onto her back, your arms wrapping tightly around her neck as the australian's knees seemed to buckle and within seconds you were both on the ground kicking at each other as you rolled along the grass in fits of giggles.

"y/n get.. off of me!" kyra got out in between laughs as you defended yourself back, "no krya you get off me!"

"girls! get up off the floor now!" the stern voice of leah williamson yelled over your giggles as her shadow covered you both. quickly breaking up knowing not to really push your luck with the blonde, although sometimes you liked to just to see how far you could push until the frown on her face became permanent.

you both mumbling a quick sorry before being called over by the coaches so that the outdoor session could actually begin. the frown on leah’s face staying in place.

the outdoor session went over quicker than you thought it would, the slight drizzle of rain making an appearance towards the end meaning your kit was slightly sticking to you but nevertheless it was lunch time, you and kyra were walking at the back of everyone else discussing you next plan of action.

“today’s been well boring! wanna cause some havoc?” you questioned a smile on your face as kyra almost immediately nodded, you never needed to ask kyra twice.

“who’s the victim?” kyra asked as you hummed, trying to rack your brain on whose buttons in a while. “oh i wouldn’t say victim, let’s just say we’re checking their alert!” you grinned.

“um well we can’t get katie cause she’ll probably hang me upside down on the ceiling, we got vic last week with the fake apple” you listed off, krya saying names quietly to you.

“steph will definitely rat us out to leah and lessi is still annoyed at us for the hot sauce so- oh i know” you were still listing off names before having a light blub moment light up in your head, a loud gasp coming from you as kyra looked on at you in confusion.

“who?”

“beth, of course!”

"right whose hid my shoe!" beth complained as she huffed, her other shoe hanging limp by her side in her hand.

the room filling with 'i don't knows' and shrugs as majority went back to getting a drink before getting ready to head into the gym for the afternoon session. beth looking around the room for her shoe, peering at kyra's side.

"kyra, where's y/n put my shoe? i won't tell kim if you just tell me where it is" beth raised an eyebrow trying to try the bribe game, the older girl knowing you both never liked to have a lecture from either kim or leah.

cause in your eyes, your weren't causing trouble. you were just giving people a little bit of entertainment.

kyra gave a small smile to beth before shrugging, beth trying again to pry and answer from the young australian but getting no where.

beth huffing loudly, as she moved closer to you. "y/n where is my shoe?" she spoke with sweet tone as you finished zipping up your bag turning to the blonde.

"bethany your shoe is in your hand?" you pointed to the trainer as beth rolled her eyes blowing a sharp breathe of air out of her mouth pinching her nose.

"y/n i know one of my shoes in my hand, but i don’t have only one foot, and i know you know where the other one is!"

"nah i don't sorry" you shrugged your shoulders turning back to what you were doing hearing beth scoff, "i'll be telling leah!" she mumbled under her breath, it was just a empty threat. beth wouldn't snitch, right.

you put your own trainers on as beth still wondered the room looking for her shoe as you made you way to the gym for your session.

your gym session went over quite quickly and thankfully it was home time, you limbs were aching and you couldn't wait to just lie in your own bed. however, during the session you couldn't help but notice the stern look leah had been sending your way the entire time.

and even though leah would usually always have a stern look on her face this one you'd seen more times than you'd like to admit.

it was never a good sign.

"your in trouble kid!" steph whispered as she walked past you, patting you on the shoulder before walking in front of you.

"what, why! i haven't done anything!" you huffed a frown appearing on your face as steph turned around and shrugged before walking ahead to catch up with lia. you had done something but that was harmless, and it was the only thing you’d done today!

you decided that the best way to stay out of trouble was to avoid leah like the plague. that way if you didn’t get the lecture from the older blonde then really it never happened! at least that’s how your brain worked, call it a form of girl math!

however, you hadn’t been lucky in escaping the blonde as she cornered you in the locker room meaning there was no way out you were going to have to listen to her lecture.

huffing you sat back down on the bench, leah sitting down beside you. now not blocking off the entrance, and you’d be lying if you hadn’t thought about making a run for it but that would have made it ten times worse for yourself so you stayed rooted to the bench in the changing room.

“y/n you know i hate having this conversation with you, both me and kim get bored having to tell you the same thing-“ leah began as you played the string of your bag, leah looking at you with softened eyes.

“don’t get me wrong i want you to have fun, and enjoy training but you need to learn the limit” leah carried on as you nodded, okay maybe sometimes you would take it a little far but harmless jokes were fine, surely!

“cause do you still wanna make the senior squad for the euros?” leah asked as your head perked up, that was the goal. you had your eyes on the prize and you were willing to do anything to make sure you could be there. wanting to create history with the lionesses like they did at the last world cup and euros.

“yeah, i wanna be there”

leah nodded, “well you’re going to have to start and be a bit more mature y/n because not only what your like on the pitch but sarina takes into account of what a players like off the pitch”

you understood that but sometimes you could help it, it was as if sometimes when trouble happened it wasn’t you. it was someone else — it may sound silly to the average person. but you weren’t always the silly childish person.

“cause the senior team won’t stand for that, does that make sense” leah finished as you nodded, a sad smile on your face.

“heard you loud and clear!” you looked up letting go of the string of your bag as leah sighed a breath of relief.

“good now let’s get you home and we’ll have a better day tomorrow?” leah asked as she stood up first, picking up her bag as you nodded following the same actions as leah swung her arm around your shoulder as you both walked out of the training facility.

“your life would be so boring with out me!” you giggled as leah pressed the unlock button on her car keys, you already having put your training bag in the boot before getting into the passenger seat.

“maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad thing eh?” leah mutter as a small gasp came from you, “hey, i’m not that bad”

“whatever helps you sleep at night kiddo!”

charles_leclerc ITS FUCKING ESTEBAN. WHY DID YOU GO TO MY HOUSE AT 3AM. @maxverstappen1

maxverstappen1 better safe than never.

charles_leclerc also looking beautiful y/n 😍

maxverstappen1 it's like you want me to kill you again at 3am.

The busy and calm streets of London, relieved you. You were with Lewis since he was still touring your around. Although, you ask yourself. Do you really need it? or do you just want to spend time with him? You've traveled for so many times but this is the only time you've asked someone to tour you.

"London is a nice place." You mutter as you chuckle, watching the beautiful view of the sky from the streets that you and Lewis were on.

"It is." Lewis smiles, turning his head around to face you. Suddenly, a stranger who was in a hurry accidentally pushed Lewis causing him to lean in closer to you. What you didn't expect was you two to kiss.

Your lips were stiff, you didn't expect the kiss. So did Lewis. His lips pressed against yours, eyes wide open, staring at each other. A few moments passed, you pulled away from the kiss. You chuckle nervously, rubbing the back of your neck as you smile at him nervously.

He stares into your eyes, hands slowly cupped your cheek. He leaned in closer to kiss you. Your eyes widened, you didn't know what to do. Lewis continued to kiss you for a few moments eventually pulling away.

"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." He mumbles, pulling you in closer to him to kiss you again.

The paddock buzzes with energy, cameras flashing as drivers are spotted, reporters walking around with their cameramen following behind. You stand off to the side, a comfortable distance away, watching as Daniel laughs and jokes with the interviewer. His charm is magnetic, and you can't help but smile as you watch him in his element.

The interviewer, Natalie, a seasoned journalist with a keen eye, asks a question about Daniel's strategy for the upcoming race. Ever the professional, he begins to answer but his gaze starts to wander. His eyes scan the paddock, searching until he finds you. His face lights up as soon as his gaze connects with yours, and you feel a flutter in your chest.

With a playful glint in his eyes, Daniel raises his hands, forming a heart shape with his fingers. The gesture is simple, but it speaks volumes. It's his way of showing that he's thinking of you, even while he's supposed to be working.

You can't resist, returning the gesture, your hands coming together to form a heart as well before blowing him a kiss. The kiss sails through the air and you watch as he pretends to catch it, holding it over his heart with a dramatic flourish. His grin widens, his eyes sparkling with mischief and affection.

The interviewer, noticing that Daniel is distracted, turns to see what he's looking at, with the cameraman panning towards you as well. "Ah, I see someone special has caught your eye," she comments with a knowing smile.

Daniel laughs, finally tearing his gaze away from you to face Natalie. "Always," he replies, his voice filled with warmth and love. "She's my lucky charm."

Watching Daniel glance and point at you while talking, you knew that he had mentioned you. A blush formed on your cheeks at the realization and you picked up your phone trying to distract yourself so you don't distract your lover from his media priorities.

The interviewer wraps up, thanking Daniel for his time. He nods politely, but as soon as the microphone is lowered, he makes a beeline for you. He's stopped for autographs and photos on the way, but soon enough, he's standing in front of you, pulling you into a quick warm hug.

"You know how to distract a guy," he teases, his breath warm against your ear.

You laugh and pull away just enough to make eye contact with him. "I was just standing here," you retorted.

"Yeah, just standing there being impossibly gorgeous," he replies with a playful wink.

You raise your eyebrows, nodding understandably. "Alright then, I'll go somewhere else before everyone blames me for distracting you."

He brushes a strand of hair away from your face, his touch gentle and familiar, "nope, not happening."

You smile, feeling a warmth spread through you at his words. "Well in that case, I'll stay right here and keep being your distraction."

Daniel chuckles, his eyes twinkling with affection. "Deal. Just make sure you keep those kisses coming my way."

"As long as you keep making hearts with your hands for me," you stated, earning a nod from him.

He leans in, pressing a quick, sweet kiss to your lips, making your heart flutter. "I will. Stay close okay? I need my lucky charm nearby."

"Always," you echo, squeezing his hand before he heads off to wherever his next interview is scheduled.

He turns around once he's quite a few steps away, smiling brightly as he holds up his hands again, forming a heart. You respond by blowing a kiss in his direction, chuckling when he pretends to catch it again.

“Hah-... fuck-... j-just like that,” he huffed and panted, looking down at you as you knelt beneath him. Your hands were splayed over his thighs, anchoring yourself from your position beneath him and bobbing your head against his pelvis. 

Breathing through your nose, you hollow your cheeks and listen to him guide you on to best please him. You looked so beautiful like this, on your knees and worshiping his cock with your lips, tongue and throat. Taking as much of him in your mouth as you could had his thighs shaking, toes curling and breath huffing in curt pants. 

“L-Look up at me?” you followed through with his question, arching your brow in curiosity as you continued bobbing against his cock. His cheeks were flushed, his lips parted and eyes beginning to swell with a dopey glaze over them. Rolling your eyes, you closed your eyelids and continued your motions pistoning his cock between your lips. 

Reaching down, he carded his fingers harshly though your hair and grasped it into a firm fistful at the nape of your neck. You whimpered against his cock, sending vibrations up from his knob up his spine and had tingles rise on the back of his neck. 

“Wasn’t a question,” he chastised you with a husky groan, “Eyes on me.” He guided your head down to take in more of his cock, using his grip on your hair to rock your head against his thighs. You whined, looking up at him with your eyes looking innocent while his cock defiled your mouth.

Instinctively, he let out a noise somewhere between a mewl and a growl and began matching the pace of your mouth by bucking his hips up to meet you. Joining his other hand at the back of your head, he continued manipulating your head to bring him closer to the edge. His thrusts began to stagger, his eyes growing wide as he felt the rapid approach of release coming to him. 

“F-fuck, stop!” he chanted your name like a prayer, desperately trying to pull your mouth away from him before he shot his heavy load down your throat, “Stop! Stop!! I’m gonna cum! I-I’m gonna cum in your mouth!” He could feel you smile against his cock, continuing to suck and bob against it to take him further down your throat. 

Immediately curling your hands behind his thighs, you aid him to buck and grind his cock into your mouth. Although he tried to pull away from your face, the twitch of his cock over your tongue had him surge forward and double down rutting into your lips. 

“No, no, no, nnnghh-!” he attempted to relay, his jaw falling slack as he emptied himself into your mouth and down your throat, “C-Cumming. I’m cumming… f-fuck, oh fuck!” He rode your face through his climax in languid and staggered thrusts, shooting rope after rope of pearlescent cum over your tongue and uvula. You gag a little on his knob as it brushes with the back of your throat, but continue bobbing against his thrusts. 

Finally feeling the last of his salty, umami load spill into your mouth, he looked down into your eyes as you pulled away from him. Gazing up into his face, you open your mouth and reveal your tongue to him. Your mouth was completely empty, no trace of himself on your tongue, in your cheeks, or over your lips. 

“O-Oh, fuck,” His eyes rolled back in his head as he released his exclamation in a breathy moan. Just as he reached down to caress your cheek and lovingly draw you up on your feet, your face dissipated into a scentless spell of wispy vapors, your eyes were the last thing to leave his sight. 

“Wha-? Where are y-you-?” he blinked a few times, searching for your face by his abdomen. Where he expected to see your fluttering eyelashes, he was only met with his twitching and rapidly deflating cock, his cum sticking to the loosely lying blanket hanging limply over his hips in his hammock. He growled in frustration and shame, furrowing his brows and clapping his hand over his forehead and pinching the bridge of his nose. 

Flinging the covers off his waist, he shook his head and looked around the shared sleeping quarters of the Going Merry: only to immediately meet his gaze with your body lying peacefully with Chopper cradled firmly nestled on your chest. Breathing out a deep, forlorn sigh as he stepped out from his hammock and towards the bathroom: his shame painting his waist in a sinful display of pearlescent cum.

“Fuck,” he huffed under his breath.

Venturing firstly into the bathroom to clean himself up, he knew there was no way he was going to be able to go back to sleep with that image of you sucking his cock, and painting your throat with ribbons of his lust. He splashed some water into his face before venturing above deck towards the kitchen in a bid to quench his thirst. 

The soft hum of your voice choking on his cock rang with the silent swell of the waves in his memory. Shaking his head, he could still feel the way your lips and tongue caressed his knob and raked down his shaft.

A flutter flooded through his chest, a shudder rolling from the base of his coccyx up to his skull as he was once again flooded with pleasure. His cock swelled beneath his pants, his knob twitching against the material and straining against the waistline. 

He first started by pinching at his chest, enjoying the warmth left behind by his slow, teasing motion. Picturing your hands rubbing against him behind his eyelids, he permitted himself to whisper your name as he imagined your hands and lips on his skin. Diving into more of the fantasy, he traveled his hands lower down his chest and scratched his skin with blunt fingernails. 

Just as his hand began to snake down his stomach and dive beneath the waistline of his sweatpants, he heard a soft call of his name from behind him.

“You okay?”

Roronoa Zoro

Without missing a beat, Zoro calls over his shoulder at you in a gruff bark. 

“M’fine,” he halted his wandering hands, pressing the heels of his palms against the kitchen sink and hooking his fingers beneath the countertop while hanging his head. He heard you walking towards the fridge in the corner of the room, his dropped three-point earrings bobbing as he slowly raised his eyes to gaze out of the window. 

The ringing of several glass bottles and movement of dishes within the door of the fridge had Zoro focussing on those single motions as opposed to what he was doing moments prior. 

A gentle touch on his forearm called him out of his daze and prompted him to glance to you from the corner of his eye. Looking down at your hand, he noticed the brown, glass bottle offered out to him. He wordlessly grasped it without turning to face you. 

Both of you removed your perspective screw caps from your beer bottles, him staring out the kitchen window and you resting your hips on the bench beside him gazing at the kitchen door. 

“Were you just-,” you began, halting as he spoke over you. 

“-Yes.” The finality of his tone fell from his lips like a warning bark to not go on further. As you took a swift swig from your bottle, you decided to ask for further clarification. 

“And you were thinking about-,” you bit back your smile as he again interrupted your train of thought. 

“-uh huh.” 

Both of you lingered in the silence, the tension feeling thick in the air as you and he remained beside one another. You rose your bottle to your lips and gulped down the liquid with gusto. Zoro’s eyes watched you from the corner, his mind drawing comparisons to how easily you took his cock between your lips in his dream. 

Releasing the bottle from your lips, your tongue flickered out to collect the frothed remnants left behind from the amber liquid before placing the bottle on the bench behind you. His eyes darkened, the lingering lust simmering in his chest and flooding his cock full of his pulsating want. 

“You know,” you smirked, gently bumping his shoulder with yours with practiced familiarity, “I-... uh-... I didn't know you thought of me like that, Zoro.” 

“M’sorry,” he muffled his apologies from between his teeth, arching his back in a low stoop while drinking the rest of his beer. You gently nudged him again with your shoulder, this time remaining behind and leaning into him.  

“I didn't say I minded,” you murmured with a bashful smile over your features, “But… Wouldn't you rather the real thing?”

Immediately, Zoro's hands clapped over your shoulders with his eyes mere inches from yours. 

“Don't start something you can't finish,” he warned you, already feeling on edge from his earlier touch and from the remnants of his dream propelling him onwards with a fiery intensity. Your eyes slowly dart down to his lips and back up to meet his eyes with a smirk tugging at your lips. 

“Who says I can't finish?” you tease back at him, gently reaching up to clasp his wrists on your shoulders. “Look, we're all a little pent up here. Let me help you out. We're friends, right?” 

Zoro's shock was evident in his features, his lips parting as he gazed longingly into your eyes. As you offered him only a smile in further confirmation, he sighed out with a small smile in a mirrored reflection of your own. 

“Right,” his confirmation was met with a soft bob of his head and his grin rising to a more flirtatious expression, “We're friends.” 

Usopp

He snapped his gaze over towards you as his hands froze their adventure against his own skin. 

“N-No, I just-... I just-... I’m okay, I just wanted-... um-...” Usopp stuttered over his words, sheepishly pleading with himself for his cock to lessen. Your head lulled to the side as you examined him curiously. 

His fluster rose up to pool in his cheeks and widen his eyes. Beads of sweat began to cascade down his temple to drop down his chin the longer he felt your gaze cast over him. 

“What are you-...?” your eyes gently dipped to the pole pitching the front of his pants, prompting you to immediately snap up your eyes to meet his gaze with shock. 

“I-I-...” he began, his fingers snapping out of their dip beneath his waist and flinging to the side of his face in a gesture of surrender. 

“Did… Did you say my name?” you asked, lips parting and darting your eyes between his. His fluster only rose as his breathing came out in a series of huffed pants. He sheepishly moved his right hand to grip the scruff of his neck as his lips pulled back to reveal a soft, grimace-like smile. 

“You know, i-it’s funny to me how-... How, you know?” he uttered sheepishly, avoiding your gaze while mentally screaming at his cock to reduce its swell, “You know? How you can-...” His eyes gently sought out your gaze from the corner of his eye. 

As soon as his chocolate-colored eyes met with yours, his heart palpitations began to increase as he fought with the former images his brain vividly prepared of you earlier. 

“I mean, c-can-...?” he continued to stumble over his explanation as he struggled against your gaze. You knew exactly what he was doing, the pitch in his pants would have informed you as such. His mind was racing, his heart was fluttering, and his face was struggling to keep up with the guilt of it all. 

“I-I thought I f-found a mole?” Usopp managed to choke out. You continued searching his gaze, struggling with his explanation while choosing to ignore the tent in his pants. “Y-Yeah. A mole. You know how dangerous unchecked moles can be! I need to go and seek out medical attention for the mole.”

“A… mole?” you nod, truly not believing the prose he'd concocted, but refusing to acknowledge the more likely happenstances. “Perhaps-… It might be an idea to see Chopper? About, you know. The mole?” Usopp bobbed his head in enthusiastic acknowledgement, softly expressing his gratitude in his pleading eyes. 

“You know? I think you're right. I'm gonna go see him, uh… right now!” At that, Usopp immediately sprinted out the threshold of the kitchen door, fleeing onto the deck of the Going Merry in an absolute embarrassed fluster. His feet had never carried him faster, and his motivation to escape from your presence and simply find a corner to cry in was too strong to have him remain behind. 

You are left alone in the kitchen, feeling a pang of guilt at the fact you were so dehydrated after cradling Chopper on your chest in the night. He was a little heated blanket, but his fur would cause you to sweat some nights and the strands became prickly after a while. 

Not expecting any of the others to be awake at the time, you were shocked to see Usopp up at this time. Shocking you more was the soft call of your name as his hands traveled over his pleasure points on his body. You didn't think he viewed you in that light, and you truly could admit you hadn't thought of him erotically. 

Until now. 

Sanji

Frozen in place, his mind failed to hold him accountable by stumbling over unspoken words in his mind. What was he to say? “I had a dream about you and I was so overwhelmed by the way I felt for you that I physically couldn't contain myself any further? I behaved like an idiot and decided to find solace in the one place I thought to be vacant as refuge for my impure thoughts,”? He couldn't admit that. Not out loud, at least. 

“You…” your voice stuttered as you froze in place, “...you had a dream and decided to masturbate in the kitchen because you felt safe here?” 

Sanji’s blood flooded his face, the hue on his cheeks as bright as a vibrant tomato. He felt steam almost rising from him as his hand still cupped his nipple and fingertips lay dormant at toying with his hemline. 

He felt your approach behind him, your hand hovering over his shoulder before thinking against offering him a gentle touch and recoiling from your advances. Slowly turning back around, you walk towards the cupboard and grab a drinking glass and turn towards the refrigerator. 

Silently opening the door, you bend to locate the glass decanter of tangerine juice Sanji had prepared a few nights prior and pour yourself a glass. Sanji continues to remain frozen and unmoving, his whole body feeling several rushes of shame reaching over him. He had accidentally confessed his feelings aloud, while you caught him in the act of touching himself, and then acted as if it was nothing to you while getting what you first ventured to the kitchen for. 

“Sanji,” your soft hum pulled him from his thoughts and prompted his hands to snap away from his needy skin. “Please know, I don't blame you. It gets rather… frustrating, being at sea for so long. Especially sharing close crew quarters and bathing spaces. I understand.” 

The blonde chef turned his blushing face towards you, his expression sheepish and ashamed. His lips parted in shock as his gray orbs darted over your form. You took a sip from the tangy juice, finishing the liquid and placing it on the table your hips were leaning on. 

“I’ll-... I'll wash that,” he stuttered over his tumbling words, gesturing to your glass, “Please, just leave it there and try to get some rest. It's not even close to dawn, and you need your sleep.” You slowly begin to smile, a soft smirk tugging up your lips. 

“And leave you here alone with your thoughts running wild?” you huff a small laugh at him, “Why don't I clean this, and you can tell me all about your dream, hm? I could help you start meal prep for the crew, while we chat, for when the rest of them wake up.” Sanji’s blush intensified, almost bleeding down into his chest and shooting tingles down his fingertips. 

“Y-You-... It didn't-... It wasn't-...” he stuttered, prompting your laugh to rise further as you approached him. Rising to your toes, you give him a soft and gentle kiss on the cheek before nudging him with your hip out of the way of the sink. 

“One of those ones was it?” you teetered off your laugh, gently filling the sink with warm water and gathering dish soap to rinse your water glass. “I don't mind a bit of lewd conversation from time to time. Go on, pretty boy, talk to me. I want to know.” 

Sanji’s nose began to release a few drops of ruby blood. Reaching up his hand, he rubbed at it with his knuckles while a soft smile drew over his lips. 

“Alright, then,” he smiled, reaching for the tissues at the side of his work station and cleaning up his nose, “Don't think any less of me when I tell you. I don't want you to see me as some sick pervert. I-... I respect you so much, and I don't want you to-.”

“-Sanji,” you cut him off, turning to the side and shaking your head affectionately at him, “You are a sick pervert, but it doesn't mean I love you any less. Go on, let me have it. What's this sick fantasy that's held you hostage in your dreams?” 

Sanji chuckles, slowly nudging his hips playfully with yours to return your earlier sentiment. Sighing out his frustration, he begins relaying not one, not two, but fourteen fantasies he's had about you specifically in graphic detail. Each scenario is more extreme than the last, causing both of you to laugh at the absurdity of it all. 

“And the last one? It was just a bit of throat fucking? That's it?” you huff your laughter, slowly aiding him in peeling and grating the potatoes to form oval-shaped domes for fried rosties, “No sex, just oral? How boring.” 

Sanji chuckled again, going over to the sink and washing his hands after setting the eggs in ceramic bowls to rise in the oven, a water bath placed beneath each savory pudding. 

“It was rather anticlimactic,” he admitted, drying his hands on a plush tea towel. “I mean, I still-... It still-... I-...” You ventured over to the sink and began to lather your hands in silken suds and rinse them beneath the warm water. 

“You still finished,” you completed his sentence for him. He nodded, his earlier blush returning to his cheeks. Sighing out a little, you chastised him with a playfulness in your eyes and a small smirk drawing up your lips. 

“You need to get laid, chef,” you noted to him, “Give your mind something else to focus on.” Sanji rolled his cigarette, placing the filter in his lips and fishing out his lighter. 

“Why, you offering?” he asked while flicking the wick to ignite the flame. He took a lengthy inhale before choking out his exhale as you shrugged out your answer. 

“Yes, I suppose I am.”

F1 Updates @f1updates • 3hr ago

Today we will be talking about Y/n Sainz and the dating rumors with Ollie Bearman!

Here’s what we know: Y/n met Ollie through Arthur Leclerc, in which the trio started hanging out a lot, sometimes including Carla, Arthur’s girlfriend. We know that Y/n spends time with Ollie in the Ferrari paddock when she goes to watch Carlos and Ollie will accompany her.

Seen, last night around 9:10pm, Y/n and Ollie were leaving a restaurant in Mexico. The Grand Prix is this Sunday, only five days away from Tuesday nights spotting! We are questioning if they are more than friends….since Ollie seemed fairly protective of her at the dinner..

Idk, I think Y/n and Lando would be cute

HUH😭 Y/n and Lando are besties, they will nott date. Just because she hangs out with the F1 guys does not mean they are dating….

In my opinion, Y/n and Ollie are the cutest couple. The way she’s Carlos’ younger sister and she’s also so close with the Leclerc family and Ollie is close with Arthur? They have background and it’s so cute. Our pure babies 🤭 They are adorbs
