Sustainable Farming: Navigating Trends in the Agricultural Lubricants Market

The agricultural lubricants market will touch USD 4,332.8 million, growing at a 4.1% compound annual growth rate, by 2030. The growth of this industry is because of the rising modern farming practices, the growing need to enhance crop yield, and the mechanization of agricultural procedures. Furthermore, the requirement for farming activities-related products are likely to surge at a rapid rate…

Halstarion headcanon of Halsin's love

Obviously, NSFW under the cut... but my headcanons of Halsin's intimacy style with his vampire love. <3 full disclosure i have not proofread this lol

Warning - minor mention of Astarion's trauma

(EDIT: If you like this content you'll definitely like what will be in future chapters of my current Halstarion fic!)

Halsin is the ultimate soft tender dom. Checking in for Astarion’s consent with a head nod or a raised eyebrow. Any tenseness he feels in Astarion’s body, any time Astarion’s eyes glaze over or stare into the distance (because trauma is not something you heal from after having sex once on top of a grave, it's not magically gone. It takes time and healing so this still happens occasionally), sexual intimacy is paused/stopped. Other intimacy is an option, to give Astarion a safe, soft space. For example, he would whisk Astarion away to a bath and climb in with him, lathering bergamot-scented shampoo into his hair, massaging the vampire’s scalp and neck. Or he would pull a blanket over them both, and pull Astarion to his chest and read aloud from the book they’re finishing together.

There’s absolutely no way Halsin can sit still; the man has trouble shifting into a BEAR with passion. He would buck his hips against Astarion’s teasing. He’d grind on the bed as he opened his lips over the pretty pink tip of Astarion’s throbbing cock and lapped at the sensitive slit at the tip. His hands would be in so many places at once seeking stimulation and movement. Most of the time, he’d have one hand reaching upward, fingers interlaced with Astarion’s fingers. Because, he knew, two squeezes meant slow down. Three meant stop. They’d never had to say it verbally. Halsin just knew.

He’d be absolutely down for letting Astarion take him. He’d encourage it. He wants his heart to experience all of nature’s pleasures, including being top. He’d cede control to Astarion willingly, freely, whenever asked and more. His generosity knows no bounds.

He’d be a filthy talker in bed with his vampire love; but a sweet one. “Can you come for me, Astarion?” he’d say, intentionally edging his partner at first, until: “My heart, let yourself feel bliss; one more time, come for me my dear one.” And “My darling Astarion, you’re sweeter than the ripest blackberries, the purest honey,” as he uses his wide tongue to lick Astarion’s spilled ecstasy from his pale lower belly.

Speaking of talking, he’d be so full of praise for Astarion. Astarion, who had experienced only insult or hollow praises about his body, finally experiences someone speaking to him in earnestness, in love.

He’d kiss Astarion’s bite scar, running his tongue and lips over the pinpricks. Reclaiming a mark of slavery and instead nibbling in the same spot out of love. Removing the stigma, the pain from the bite, to replace Astarion's association with a mouth on his neck with ecstasy, pleasure, and consent.

An aftercare CHAMP and I’m not talking like bdsm stuff, which might or might not be something Astarion is into, but even just general sexual intimacy aftercare. Halsin would still focus on making Astarion feel good about his body for more than just sex. He’d lay beside his vampire and rub the pads of his fingers on Astarion’s back, massaging his lat muscles, sore from pulling his short bow. Braiding his white hair in French braids, just to take them out and braid them again. Always, of course, offering his neck to Astarion after any particularly vigorous lovemaking so his little pale love is in tip-top health.

Also Halsin is just fucking super smart and would protect his smaller lover and make sure Astarion isn’t harmed when Halsin takes him. He’d formulate some sort of lubricant that also has healing potion qualities, so any potential lack of preparedness is a non-issue.

Halsin’s so intuitive, that when he is inside his lover, he would know precisely when he is at just the right spot. He would have 0 complaints about moving only an inch or two at a time, back and forth, to almost unbearably focus on Astarion’s prostate, no matter how agonizingly tempting it would be for himself to bury himself to the root.

Starting the SR-71 engines was no easy job. The J-58s’ oil, formulated to lubricate at the high temperatures at Mach 3, was virtually solid at temperatures below 86 degrees. Before each flight, the oil had to be heated, and it took one hour to warm it 10 degrees. Because this maiden flight was on a cold December day, the Buicks were obliged to hold maximum speed a little longer than usual to get both J-58s running.

The ground crews, wearing headsets, ran through their checklists. Kelly Johnson stood by in his familiar dark blue suit and tie, smiling as he had a final word for the pilots. The ambulances, the fire-rescue teams, and the fuel trucks stood at attendance. And waiting on the strip’s edge, wheels chocked in line, were three Lockheed Constellations.

Lockheed had provided two of the last 1049 models and a long-range 1649 for transportation to and from Palmdale or other places. Two of the three still had airline-configured interiors. Johnson had been behind the design of the Constellation too

. The two airplanes were together briefly, then the lighter F-104 pulled slightly out front. Gradually the Blackbird caught up and began to pull ahead. The gap grew wider as the two airplanes clawed their way into the sky. Finally, while the F-104 was still in view, the SR-71 became no more than a dark pinpoint, long gone and still pulling away.

As I stood there waiting for the SR-71’s first flight, I looked carefully around that little corner of the world. Watching the men who were there, I tried to find a simple way to describe their achievements, since I knew few would ever say much about themselves

A veteran crew chief standing next to me could only murmur, “Her enemies will never be natural.”

What he meant was the SR 71s enemies would be people as it turned out jealous people. It was not money that ended the SR 71 program. It was men that were not picked to fly this magnificent airplane.

The first official flight was December 22, 1964

Kitsunebi

Fuck yeah! I actually like more than the concept or detail for this one! Of course, I’m not ENTIRELY the proudest, but that’s because I am rusty as hell with Soukoku QuQ. But hey! For once, I don’t feel like this is uncharacteristically awful work despite it not being Ryomina lol. And, I hope you enjoy it as well, dude. Sorry it took a bit. Also, forgive me if my info on kitsune/foxes is wrong, I did my best to google and read up on things.

EDIT: Admittedly, this one wasn’t in need of an edit because I disliked how it came out the first time. But, I decided to return to it regardless because I felt it came out a bit too short? I felt like I could still sprinkle in more detail, more focus on emersion, or something. I just felt something was MISSING to fill it out. So! I hope you enjoy the boost these bitches got, and I hope this’ll give my fans some assurance that I’m not devolving in skill or smthn.

Kinktober masterlist: Here

CW: Teratophilia, since Dazai’s a kitsune here. Creative definitions of Aphrodisiacs (aka heat/rut cycles) but no a/b/o intended. Some vague? Phone sex? Mutual Masturbation can also be read into it, but it’s not explicitly there.

With Thanksgiving, festivals, Christmas, and New Years all in the same season, winter was a season rife with dramatics. On the side of the Mafia, there were deals to make, knock offs to sell, and bonds to keep healthy. For the ADA, there was the Mafia, as well as monsters and other petty criminals to contend with. So, Dazai was sure that Kunikida hated the season with every fiber of his being. Most of all due to the fact that the bandaged brunette went into rut during the season. Granted, Osamu Dazai didn’t have a strong work ethic on the best of his days, but he was sure that his vanishing act still annoyed the Thanksgiving stuffing out of the schedule-addicted man.

Meanwhile, the annoyance he inflicted upon Kunikida was probably the one thing that the manipulative brunette actually enjoyed when his rut came each year. Which, was petty, but in the years like this one, where he was left to his own devices with only toys and the dysfunctional level of need that infected every fiber of his being like a stubborn cancer, it was something to cling to. “That toy helping any, Mackerel?” Chuuya Nakahara asked, his voice distorted by the mostly forgotten cellphone that kept Dazai company amongst the temperamental redhead’s mussed comforter and egyptian cotton sheets. Though, the amusement in his words was still clear, and was still a burr that tangled itself in the brunette’s fluffed-up tail. “Not at all.” He growled out while he humped into the soft silicone of a lubricated pocket pussy. The feather-stuffed pillow that the kitsune kept captive beneath him a bit of support to keep the plastic casing from moving. “I’d prefer if it were you beneath me right now. A toy just doesn’t satisfy my needs as well.” “Bold of you to assume I’d let you top me, motherfucker. Even in your rut.” The martial artist mocked through the phone, emboldened by the distance Mori had put between them when he sent his executive off to sweet talk some important cog of the mafia. “But hey! At least your rut only lasts three days, right? That’s a perk.” He offered, only to get back through barred fangs, “That’s if I was a fucking girl, Chibi! You know damned well how long my ruts are, cunt!” Though, at the same time that the redhead’s sarcastic comfort pissed Dazai off, it also made his cock twitch while it slipped in and out of it’s silicone prison. The simple act of bickering with his mate like a dose of gasoline for the desire in Dazai’s belly. So, no matter how Chuuya’s laughter ate at him, the brunette’s thoughts felt too much like mush for him to formulate a second witty reply.

So, he didn’t bother, and instead buried his face into the cognac-scented pillow that he kept his arms wrapped around while his hips moved as if they had a mind of their own. The unyeilding plastic of the pocket pussy’s a harsh contrast to the lubricated silicone that squeezed him. Which, was equal parts uncomfortable, and weirdly enjoyable enough to make the kitsune’s tail swish and thump against the mattress while he barked and whined. Yet, no matter how much he huffed up Chuuya’s scent from the silken cushion, it offered little to no help against the heat that seemed to carbonate Dazai’s blood.

What did offer a sliver of help, though, was the grip of the sex toy he humped into. As well as, of course, the mafioso’s voice when it managed to seep back into the Kitsune’s lust-addled brain. “Osamu? You still there, or did you finally hang up?” And, while Dazai couldn’t muster up the words to respond due to the lack of oxygen that got through the cognac-scented pillow. Though, that lack of acknowledgement only made the redhead give a small sight before he likely returned to whatever paperwork he had. Nice enough to at least sit on the phone with the kitsune as he humped needily into his pillow.

So, Dazai didn’t linger on the mafioso’s comment. He simply tightened his hold on the cushion and did his best to convince himself that the too-soft item was the muscular, scarred body of his mate. And that the muffled schlick, schlick, schlick of the slimy, silicone toy was really the twitchy, warm walls of his partner. Something that wasn’t insanely hard to do, thanks to the years he had to catalogue each one of Chuuya’s lustful sighs, but proved to be a bit difficult when the plastic case of the fucktoy brushed against his belly. A reminder of the cheap quality of the imitation in his head.

Though, regardless of the interruptions, he was able to work himself up just enough to manage a needy whine of, “Chuuyyyyyaaa…” the moment he lifted his head to gulp down the smoke-tinged air of the bedroom. Though, whether that smoke was from Dazai’s kitsune powers, or simply the scent of his own body being cooked by his Rut, he couldn’t tell. “I’m still here, Mackerel.” The redhead assured, his voice distorted by the phone, yet still a bit of a salve. “I...I think I’m gonna cum. I-I’m right at the edge.” He desperately whimpered. “Really? Aren’t you up to three, though? That’s usually your limit for consecutive orgasms. Plus, I’m sure that toy is getting nasty.” He teased, likely to try and dig into the brunette’s competitive side for some sick sadistic pleasure of his own. Though, the kitsune chose to imagine he was simply fuelling his own masturbation. Though, that didn’t spare the redhead a snarl, even if he only heard it through his phone. “Alright, alright, jeez. You can cum, mackerel, you have my blessing.”

That earned him another horny bark from the mindless brunette before his orgasm finally slammed into him so hard, that the tinge of smoke he’d tasted earlier was undoubtedly now from something in Chuuya’s bedroom. As if that could alleviate the heat that erupted onto the kitsune’s skin the same way that his load seemed to erupt out of the sex toy pinned beneath his body. “Oy! Don’t you dare burn down my fucking house, mackerel! You burn it, you buy it, slut!” Chuuya snapped out, though his words only seemed to roll through Dazai’s head at that point. His furious ranting about the cost of his furniture little more than background noise, even as Dazai waved his fluffed up tail to extinguish the flames before they did more than some light smoke damage. So, the brunette simply smiled and let him scold him so that he could use the sound of his mate’s voice as some form of white noise during his break.

What Is The Main Ingredient of WD-40?

Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40?

No Cheating.....

WD-40 ~ Who knew!

I had a neighbour who bought a new pickup.

I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray

painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown

reason).

I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news.

He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do ....

probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open.

Another neighbour came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off.

It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint

job that was on the truck. I was impressed!

WD-40 who knew?

"Water Displacement #40".

The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and

degreaser to protect missile parts.

WD-40 was created in 1953, by three technicians at the San Diego

Rocket Chemical Company.

Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'Water

Displacement' Compound.

They were finally successful for a formulation, with their fortieth

attempt, thus WD-40. The 'Convair Company' bought it in bulk to

protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40

that would hurt you.

When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing

that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic,

it works just as well as on glass. It's a miracle!

Then try it on your stove-top.

It's now shinier than it's ever been.

You'll be amazed.

WD-40 Uses:

1. Protects silver from tarnishing.

2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.

3. Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.

4. Gives floor that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.

5. Keeps the flies off of Cows, Horses, and other Farm Critters.

6. Restores and cleans chalkboards.

7. Removes lipstick stains.

8. Loosens stubborn zippers.

9. Untangles jewellery chains.

10. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.

11. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.

12. Keeps ceramic/terracotta garden pots from oxidising.

13. Removes tomato stains from clothing.

14. Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.

15. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.

16. Keeps scissors working smoothly.

17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on both home and vehicles doors.

18. It removes that nasty tar and scuff marks from the kitchen

flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to

scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some

windows if you have a lot of marks.

19. Remove those nasty bug guts that will eat away the finish

on your car if not removed quickly!

20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.

21. Lubricates gearshift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on

riding mowers.

22. Rids kids rocking chair and swings of squeaky noises.

23. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open.

24. Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.

25. Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well

as vinyl bumpers.

26. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.

27. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.

28. Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons and bicycles for

easy handling.

29. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly.

30. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.

31. Removes grease splatters from stove-tops.

32. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.

33. Lubricates prosthetic limbs.

34. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).

35. Removes all traces of duct tape.

36. Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve

arthritis pain.

37. Florida 's favourite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from

grills and bumpers.'

38. The favourite use in the state of New York , it protects the Statue

of Liberty from the elements.

39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you

will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than

the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep

in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing

are not allowed in some states.

40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and

stops the itch.

41. It is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray it on the marks

and wipe with a clean rag.

42. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed

and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the

lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!

43. If you spray it inside a wet distributor cap, it will displace the

moisture, allowing the engine to start.

My discovery, Ants don't like it..................

P.S.

As for that Basic, Main Ingredient.......

Well.... it's FISH OIL....

Now This Is Definitely Worth SHARING!!

[psychokinetic-ectoplasm]

hiii!!! can you write something for darren from Sneakers? Maybe reader went with him on his cross country trip in the Winnebago after the movie? Thanks!!! c:

Thank you so much for this request!! I love Darren so much 😭

Enjoy!

Also here on Ao3. NSFW under the cut!

A Perfect Morning

Sunlight filtered in through the edge of blinds, falling on your face, waking you. You weren't sure what time it was, but you felt rested. It also probably helped that you were exhausted the night before, falling asleep almost immediately as you settled down to actually sleep.

The source of your exhaustion was snoring quietly behind you, his breath puffing against your hair. You smiled, snuggling back into the warmth of the nude body pressed against your back. You tried not to move too much, not wanting the sloshing of the waterbed to wake Darren, but you both were used to it by now. Your trip cross-country had seen to that.

The two of you had made it your mission to make love in every state, but now you were driving across Texas. And taking your time. So far, this has been the best vacation you two had ever been on.

And while you two might have spent the previous night tangled up in each other’s arms until you wore each other out, from the hot, hard length you could feel pressed to your backside, Darren was ready to go again. Probably dreaming about what we did last night, you thought with a smile. Well, you didn’t want to be left out.

It was a little difficult given that he had an arm slung around your waist, but you still managed to slip a hand down between your legs to tease yourself, get yourself ready for him. Darren’s breathing remained slow, letting you know he was still sound asleep. As you did this, your own breath shaky, you tried to decide how to wake him up. It wasn’t often you two had morning sex, but the few times you had, you’d loved it. It was always so slow and intimate… And now you wanted that again, and a plan was formulating in your mind.

Painstakingly slow, you turned around and eased your leg over his hip, keeping an eye on Darren's face, doing all you could not to wake him. His sweet face remained slack with sleep, totally oblivious to your intentions.

You had to fight back a moan as you took his cock in hand and let the tip of him press against your entrance. You just barely rolled your hips so his tip was lubricated with your slick.

Darren's breathing changed just a bit, but he still didn't wake. Maybe he was dreaming about you doing something to him. You then let the head of his cock slip inside you. Darren then hummed ever so quietly, his brow furrowing, his breath deepening as he awoke, though he didn't open his eyes.

“Honey…” Darren began, his voice rough. “We didn't fall asleep like this, did we?”

You bit back a smile and leaned up to kiss his forehead. “No.”

“It's funny…” he murmured, rolling on top of you and pushing further into you, making you gasp quietly. He gazed down at you with a soft smile on his face. “I was dreaming about this… of waking up buried inside you. And here we are.”

You hummed, rubbing his arms that were braced on either side of you. “I missed feeling you inside me.”

Darren hummed and kissed you, slowly rolling his hips against yours. “The perfect way to wake up,” he practically purred.

You moaned into his mouth. Darren was staying deep within you, barely thrusting his hips. And the warmth of his body over you, the heat of his mouth on yours, how slow he was fucking you… It was all perfect. So fucking perfect, you thought, tangling your fingers in his hair. 

“Last night wasn’t enough for you either?” he asked, now kissing down your cheek.

“Never,” you breathed. You then wrapped your legs around his hips. “I’ll never get enough of you.”

Darren quietly moaned, his lips now on your neck. “I never thought we’d actually get out here,” he said. “You and me, in the Winnebago I always dreamed of…”

“Maybe you should thank Marty for that last sneak,” you replied with a smile. “No matter how dangerous it was.”

He hummed. “It was exciting. Not as exciting as this, though. God, sweetheart, you feel so good…”

You met the movements of his hips by rolling your own, sighing at how good his cock felt inside you, how full he made you feel. It felt like he was made for you.

“What made us wait so long?” you asked, your voice breathy. 

Darren reached down and hooked his hand under your knee, lifting your leg a bit in order to push deeper into you. He groaned at the feeling. “I didn’t think anyone as beautiful as you could ever be interested in someone like me.”

“Darren,” you whispered, moving your hands to his face and lifting his head up so you could look at him. He was gorgeous… His hair falling into his face, his lips parted with his labored breaths, the hazy look of lust in his eyes… “I love you.”

He smiled warmly and rested his forehead against yours. “I love you, too, baby.”

With that, he returned his focus to the more immediate matter at hand. He kept his thrusts deep, but he now sped up a bit, making them more deliberate. Each thrust stole your breath away, making you cling to him tighter as the pleasure mounted. You could feel Darren start to tremble, holding back as he wanted to make you cum first. 

“Please tell me you’re close,” he rasped, pressing his forehead a little harder to yours.

“I am! Please, Darren, don't stop!”

He groaned. “I won't, baby. I won't.”

He pushed a hand between you, his fingertips pressing over your clit. You moaned. This was just what you needed.

“I love you,” you whined, nearing the edge. “Ah! I love you, Darren!”

You came with a gasp, clinging to him so tightly you might have worried about hurting him had you not been awash in pleasure. Darren moaned brokenly next to your ear as his hips stuttered a moment later and he came inside you, his hips snapping against yours with each kick of his cock.

“And I love you,” he sighed harshly before moaning, his lips on your neck. “God, I love you so much.”

As you gasped for breath, you carded your fingers through his hair with one hand, while your other stroked his back. “You make me feel so good, baby. You love me so well.”

He moaned again, letting some of his weight rest on you but not pulling out just yet. “Love you,” he panted. “Love you, baby…”

You lifted his head so you could kiss him. Darren hummed contentedly into the long, languid kiss. Eventually, though, you needed to part for air. After that, he rolled off of you, taking you with him to settle you on his chest. You both sighed, relaxing. 

“You know,” he murmured. “Once we get to the coast, we’re going to have to drive all the way back to San Francisco… We’ll get to do this again.”

With a smile, you propped yourself up to look at him. Darren was smiling softly, very obviously in love. You were sure that love reflected back at him from your face. You couldn’t help but reach up and touch his cheek. “I’m game. And maybe we could… Stop by Vegas on the way back?”

He frowned a bit. “Vegas… Why?” He then grinned, his hands caressing your sides. “You don’t strike me as the gambling type.”

“I’m not!” you replied with a laugh. “No, I was thinking more along the lines of… you know, the two of us… tying the knot…”

Darren’s eyebrows shot up. “You wanna get married?”

From his response, you quickly began to backpedal, thinking you’d royally screwed up. “I mean, only if that’s something you want! We don’t have to! It was just something that—”

Before you could finish, Darren rolled you two over again, tucking you under him and excitedly peppering your face with kisses. “Oh, sweetheart, I’d love that,” he said in a rush in-between the kisses. “Maybe we could get the guys to meet us there.”

You laughed a bit. “Darren!”

“Yeah?”

That got him to calm down some as he raised his head to look at you. You brought your hands up to hold his face.

“You really want to do that?”

He nodded. “Absolutely. There’s no one else I’d rather spend the rest of my life with. You… Well, you get me, more so than Barbara ever did… And I love you. More than I’ve ever loved anyone or anything.”

“Darren…” you whispered, tears in your eyes. “I love you, too.”

He smiled and leaned down to softly kiss you. It was a kiss full of love and promise. As it became a little more heated, you made a mental note to thank Marty for introducing you to Darren when he did.

It was the best thing that could have ever happened.

[porcelain-siscon]

Okay, here me out.

I turn you into a doll that comes with interchangeable parts. Your base form is as you are now, but with shining smooth skin and pronounced joints that creak a little when you move. You have full control and sensation over your body, letting you feel and move as you please, if a little stiffly.

But then I can do things like remove your chest plate and replace it with a pair of impossibly huge tits, made from soft and malleable material so that they can be squished and played with properly. I can even later upgrade you with a pair that can be filled with liquid and lactate it out through the nipples. The moment they snap into place, you can feel how they bounce and wobble and how good it feels to have them sucked.

But I can also do body horror things like remove your hand and replace it with a smooth, stiff cock. And, as soon as it snaps into place, you're flooded with the sensations of a needy, perpetually hard cock at the end of your arm. It feels especially strange as I push it inside myself or wrap my tits around it. I can even do things like remove the flap for your jaw and replace it with the cap for a Fleshlight, your new lips so much more sensitive than your old ones, drooling lubricant over your huge tits.

A fully customizable doll.

I have been trying to formulate a response to this for like half an hour and all I can come up with is "holy shit"

The Ultimate Guide to Conditioner for Curly Hair: Nourish, Define, and Revive Your Curls

Curly hair is a crown that needs tender love and care, and the secret to maintaining beautiful, bouncy curls lies in the right conditioner. Curly hair is often more prone to dryness, frizz, and tangles due to its unique structure, so the right conditioner can be transformative, helping to nourish, define, and revive your curls. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about conditioner for curly hair, from understanding its benefits to selecting the best ingredients and crafting the perfect conditioning routine.

Why Conditioner is Essential for Curly Hair

Unlike straight hair, curly hair has a spiral structure that makes it more prone to moisture loss. Each twist and turn creates potential points of weakness in the hair shaft, making it difficult for natural oils from the scalp to travel down the hair strands. As a result, curly hair often feels dry, frizzy, and unruly.

This is where conditioner becomes your best friend. A well-formulated best products for curly frizzy hair hydrates, smoothens, and detangles curls, while also restoring moisture balance and protecting against environmental damage. Let’s dive into the key reasons why conditioner is so essential for curly hair:

Hydration Boost: Curls thrive on moisture. The humectants and emollients in conditioners penetrate deep into the hair cuticle, delivering much-needed hydration to keep curls soft and shiny.

Frizz Control: Frizz is the arch-nemesis of curly hair, often caused by lack of moisture. Conditioners help seal the hair cuticle, locking in moisture and reducing frizz.

Detangling: Curly hair is more prone to knots and tangles. A rich conditioner lubricates the hair strands, making detangling easier and less damaging.

Curl Definition: Conditioners formulated for curly hair can enhance curl definition by providing weight and structure, making each curl stand out.

Damage Protection: Heat styling, environmental stress, and chemical treatments can weaken curly hair. Conditioners create a protective barrier around the hair shaft, safeguarding against further damage.

Key Ingredients to Look for in a Curly Hair Conditioner

Not all conditioners are created equal, and when it comes to curly hair, certain ingredients are a must-have to ensure maximum benefits. Here’s a breakdown of the best ingredients to look for:

1. Shea Butter

Shea butter is a rich emollient packed with fatty acids and vitamins that nourish and moisturize the hair. It adds weight and definition to curls, making it ideal for combating frizz and dryness.

2. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a favorite in the curly hair community for its ability to penetrate the hair shaft and reduce protein loss. It helps retain moisture, reduce breakage, and enhance the overall health of curly hair.

3. Aloe Vera

Known for its soothing and hydrating properties, aloe vera provides moisture and promotes shine without weighing down curls. It also has a natural pH-balancing effect, which is crucial for curly hair health.

4. Argan Oil

Argan oil is full of important fats, antioxidants, and vitamin E. It locks in moisture, smoothens hair, and protects against environmental damage. It’s a lightweight oil, making it perfect for defining curls without the greasy feel.

5. Jojoba Oil

Mimicking the scalp’s natural oils, jojoba oil is an excellent conditioner for curly hair. It’s light, non-greasy, and deeply hydrating, ensuring smooth, frizz-free curls.

6. Silk Protein

Silk protein helps rebuild damaged hair, giving curls more elasticity and strength. It’s particularly beneficial for chemically treated or heat-styled curly hair, as it restores protein balance.

Avoid These Ingredients in Your Conditioner

While certain ingredients can work wonders for curly hair, there are others that should be avoided, as they can lead to dryness, frizz, and buildup. When choosing a conditioner, steer clear of:

Sulfates: Harsh cleansing agents that strip away natural oils, leaving curls dry and vulnerable.

Silicones: While they create a smooth surface, silicones can cause product buildup over time, leading to dull and lifeless curls.

Alcohols: Some alcohols, like ethanol, can dry out curly hair, so opt for conditioners that avoid them or use fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl alcohol, which are safe and moisturizing.

Types of Conditioners for Curly Hair

Curly hair benefits from different types of conditioners depending on the specific needs of your curls. Here’s a breakdown of the main types of conditioners to include in your routine:

1. Daily Rinse-Out Conditioners

These are lightweight conditioners meant for daily use, providing moisture and detangling benefits without weighing down the hair. They are typically used after shampooing and rinsed out within a few minutes.

2. Deep Conditioners

Deep conditioners are richer and more intense than regular conditioners, providing deep hydration and repair. These are usually left on for 10-30 minutes to allow the nourishing ingredients to penetrate the hair shaft, making them ideal for weekly treatments.

3. Leave-In Conditioners

Leave-in conditioners are lightweight, non-rinse formulas that are applied to damp hair after washing. They provide long-lasting moisture and help with detangling, curl definition, and frizz control.

4. Co-Wash Conditioners

Co-washing, or conditioner-only washing, is a popular method among curly-haired individuals. Co-wash conditioners gently cleanse the scalp and hair while providing moisture. They don’t contain harsh detergents, making them ideal for frequent washes without stripping the hair of natural oils.

How to Condition Curly Hair the Right Way

To make the most out of your curly hair conditioner, follow these steps for an optimal conditioning routine:

Step 1: Cleanse First

While some people prefer co-washing, it’s important to cleanse your hair regularly with a sulfate-free shampoo to remove dirt and buildup. This ensures that your conditioner can penetrate the hair shaft effectively.

Step 2: Apply Conditioner on Damp Hair

After cleansing, gently squeeze excess water from your hair, but keep it damp. Apply a generous amount of conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, where it tends to be the driest.

Step 3: Detangle

Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently detangle your curls while the conditioner is still in your hair. This minimizes breakage and helps distribute the product evenly.

Step 4: Let It Sit

For daily conditioners, leave the product on for a few minutes before rinsing. For deep conditioning treatments, let the product sit for at least 10 minutes (or longer if recommended) to allow the nutrients to penetrate the hair shaft.

Step 5: Rinse with Cool Water

Cool water helps to seal the hair cuticle, locking in moisture and reducing frizz. Always rinse your conditioner with cool water to enhance shine and definition.

Step 6: Follow Up with a Leave-In

After rinsing, apply a leave-in conditioner or styling cream to damp hair for added moisture and protection throughout the day.

Final Thoughts: Embrace the Power of Conditioning

Curls are beautiful, but they require special care to look their best. Conditioning is the key to maintaining healthy, hydrated, and defined curls. By choosing the best hair mask for dry damaged hair and developing a consistent conditioning routine, you can transform your curls into soft, bouncy, and frizz-free locks. Remember, the best conditioner for curly hair is one that nourishes, protects, and enhances the unique beauty of your curls.

Oh...hey you...what's up? Well of course I'm awake...duh...haha. I'm just laying here scrolling Tumblr...what are you up to. Well...as a matter of fact...it IS out...very astute observation Sherlock Holmes. Did you seriously just ask me that? In what universe would I NOT be playing with it under these conditions? Sure you can watch...but I have to warn you...it's not as exciting as you might think. Just come over here and sit down next to me...with your back to me of course...and turn on your phone's flashlight.

So this is pretty much how I start. I just run my index and forefingers along the underside from the tip as I scroll through the seemingly unending supply of naked women on here until I find someone that piques my interest...and I usually don't even know what it's going to be until I find it. No...this is actually as only far down as I go at first...in fact, I rarely even touch the bottom half of it anymore unless I'm in a huge hurry.

Ok...so as you can see...the tip is beginning to moisten, so now I'm going to place my right hand over the head with a backhanded grip I guess...like when you see people smoking in the wind...and roll my wrist slowly as I continue to slowly precum. Oh fuck me...I swear this feels better than any lotion that man has ever formulated.

Alright...now that the entire tip is well lubricated...I'm going to slide my hand about halfway down with a somewhat loose grip...and then close my fingers around it and pull upward with a tighter grip...but as you can see...it's not the violent jerking motion that you probably usually associate with masturbation.

That's a great question...and also the beauty of this particular grip. When I do finish, I simply close my hand and turn it palm upwards in a single motion and head straight to the bathroom...no mess. Oh you do huh? Absolutely...be my guest...just do exactly what I'm doing...it's not a race or a strength competition.

Mmmmmm.....ohhhhhh yessss...very good grasshopper. No...I'm serious....you are a quick study young lady. Ahhhhhhhhh...ohhhhh....yessss...you are a natural at this...but I'm going to finish soon...so do you think that you can pull off the close and twist? Oh? well what did you have in mind instead? Oh fuck yes...I haven't been able to stop thinking about that mouth of yours since the first time that you came over. Oh I'm close...so you'd better kill that flashlight and get your ass down there.

Yes...yesss...yessss....that's it...suck that cock girl. Fuck...fuck...fuuuuckkkk...I'm almost there...it's coming....it's coming....it's commmmmm!!!!

Oh...fuck me...how are you always so amazing?...I mean....fuck!. Oh no...of course I don't mind you hitting me up so late...you can come over any time that you want. But you probably should get back to your own blog before all of your loyal fans start to wonder where you went. Goodnight.

“Fuckdoll Reset”

ORIGINAL IMAGE FOUND HERE

Now this is an issue which is actually more common than some fuckdoll owners might expect. There have been several reported cases of fuckdolls exhibiting signs of corrupted programming. Over time or through excessive use the core programming of our hyper realistic fuckdolls’ processing unit can become corrupted, leading to a whole host of errors including inability to properly massage your cock and a strange glitch whereby they start acting as if they are human women. Claiming to have being abducted and brainwashed and formulating complex and vivid stories which are simply untrue and absurd. This can be extremely problematic as units which are corrupted in this manner often disobey commands, fight their owner’s will and attempt to ‘escape’ despite their core programming telling them otherwise.

Now don’t be concerned. This isn’t a major dilemma and it has a simple, effective fix. Listen carefully. If you notice any signs that your fuckdoll’s programming might be corrupted, such as odd twitches, unwanted tears, a delay in response time when given orders or incorrect emotional response to their owner’s beloved cock then you should perform a basic system reset. We built this into the fuckdoll so that the core programming can be reinforced easily and without need to send them back to the factory for repairs and reprogramming.

Here’s what you do; take the fuckdoll by the head and open its oral fuckhole. Force or pry this open if necessary, to make this easier you will find that most modern models have a function which will cause their oral fuckhole to open automatically if you pull on their hair. Once the fuckhole is wide open insert your erect cock or failing this a few fingers into her fuckhole, resting it on the tongue for approximately 10 seconds. You should notice as soon as your cock is inserted the fuckdoll will close its eyes and enter a relaxed posture. After the ten seconds has finished there should be a shivering, possibly accompanied by some leakage in the primary fuckhole also known as the vaginal fuckhole. This indicates that the fuckdoll has successfully been reset and their programming strengthened. To ensure maximum effectiveness you may wish to utilise all of the doll’s fuckholes in order to reinforce the programming and check that everything is functioning properly.

Now here is a demonstration to make it clear precisely how to do this. This example uses a genuine faulty fuckdoll which has taken on the false identity of 'Lana’, a student who claims to have been studying photography at college with aspirations of a career working for a famous magazine before being abducted by suspicious men, thrown in a van and then brainwashed. As you can see the glitch is quite detailed and problematic, but watch as its owner calmly and effectively resets her programming.

The fuckdoll resists but it’s owner approaches and overpowers its weak, pathetic body not surprisingly as it is purely designed to fuck and a superior human can easily control it. See he pulls on its hair here and her oral fuckhole, which was previously shut tight, shoots wide open. Note the tongue hanging out and the lubricating fluid dribbling down its chin, this is an indication that you are doing it correctly.

Next he takes out his cock, see that he is already semi-erect. You may find it helpful to slap your cock across the fuckdoll’s face in order to make it hard. As you can see just the sight of its owners cock has caused leakage in the fuckdoll and already you may notice that it has begun to question it’s false human identity and revert back to its true programming. See how he slides his veiny cock into the oral fuckhole slowly, keeping it firmly on her tongue, pushing it deep into the orifice. He only stops when the entirety of his cock is enveloped by the fuckdoll’s damp, pleasurable hole.

1, 2, 3, 4…The fuckdoll’s posture has relaxed and its eyes have closed. It’s oral fuckhole has closed around the base of the cock as it is accepting the reset. See how he holds its head firmly in place with one hand, making sure it’s plump lips stay in contact with his balls and pubes.

5, 6, 7, 8…the fuckdoll’s nipples are erect, another good sign that it is accepting the reset. If you with you may pinch these, if the fuckdoll moans around your cock it has completely forgotten its faulty identity and is functioning properly.

9 and 10. See the shiver throughout the fuckdoll? The lip trembling. The fingers shaking. The chest heaving. All a well programmed indicator that it has been reset and the programming is no longer corrupted. I hope this has helped any of you out there who were experiencing problems or simply wondering how to perform a reset on their fuckdoll version 4 ultra realistic masturbation aid. Thank you for listening.

PIPE-FREEING AGENTS AND SURFACTANT

In the dynamic world of oil and gas exploration, the efficiency and success of drilling operations are paramount. Amid the complexities of drilling through various geological formations, engineers and chemists have harnessed the power of specialized chemicals to overcome challenges. Two key players in this realm are pipe-freeing agents and surfactants, whose unique properties and applications significantly contribute to the optimization of drilling processes.

Pipe-Freeing Agents: Unleashing the Drill Pipe

Drilling for oil and gas often encounters a common adversary – the sticking of the drill pipe in wellbores. This phenomenon, known as differential sticking, arises from the formation of a filter cake on the wellbore wall. Enter pipe-freeing agents, also referred to as lubricants. These agents are designed to tackle this challenge head-on by modifying the properties of the drilling mud or fluid.

Friction Reduction The primary function of pipe-freeing agents is to reduce friction between the drill pipe and the wellbore. This reduction in friction is essential for maintaining the smooth movement of the pipe, preventing costly delays and potential damage.

Filter Cake Modification Pipe-freeing agents alter the composition and characteristics of the filter cake that forms on the wellbore wall. By doing so, they mitigate the risk of differential sticking, ensuring that the drill pipe can move freely through the wellbore.

Lubrication Acting as effective lubricants, these agents ensure the seamless and efficient movement of the drill pipe. In challenging drilling conditions, where forces can impede progress, lubrication becomes a crucial factor in maintaining operational momentum.

Surfactants: The Versatile Solution in Drilling Fluids

Surfactants, with their unique amphiphilic structure, find widespread use in drilling fluids within the oil and gas industry. Their ability to interact with both water and oil makes them versatile players in addressing various challenges associated with drilling operations.

Emulsification Surfactants play a crucial role in breaking down or stabilizing emulsions within drilling fluids. This property improves the overall stability and performance of the fluid, contributing to efficient drilling.

Wetting Enhanced wetting properties of drilling fluids are achieved through surfactants. This ensures better coverage on solid surfaces, promoting improved drilling efficiency.

Foaming/De-foaming Controlling the formation and elimination of foam in drilling fluids is vital for maintaining stability. Surfactants are adept at managing foam levels, preventing issues that can hinder drilling progress.

Cleaning Surfactants assist in the removal of contaminants from surfaces within the drilling system. This cleaning action contributes to the overall effectiveness and cleanliness of the operation.

Conclusion

In the ever-evolving landscape of oil and gas exploration, the role of pipe-freeing agents and surfactants is not only pivotal but transformative. These chemical marvels, with their ability to address challenges ranging from pipe sticking to emulsion stability, are indispensable tools in the hands of drilling professionals. As technology and chemical engineering continue to advance, the development of novel formulations and the strategic application of these agents will undoubtedly remain at the forefront of efforts to optimize drilling processes and ensure the sustainability of oilfield operations.

Viktor needs Maintenance

Ficlet fluff | Vikor/OC | worries get kissed away (pos)

On Ao3

Viktor had been on edge for a while now, as resolute as the genius was, the endless venom of Piltover's finest still found a way to seep under his skin. The sideward looks at his brace, the muffled scoffs when he'd steer conversations back on topic, & worst of all; the endless 'concerns' these people would levy at Dulcie. The artist had graced their halls with her works, invigorated the prosthetics industry & all they would want to talk about was how 'inspiring' she was. Oh, how they managed to make the word filthy. All because she had the gall to exist in their presence whilst incapable of 'peak performance'.

The same as him. Two faulty parts that fit together, their jagged edges slotting in beside one another. They weren't seamless of course, but the gaps between whistled a hollow tune inside Viktor today.

Was Dulcie only with him because of solidarity? A hotfix fueled by desperation?

Viktor wincing as the thought echoed again. They are in their flat, an afternoon's light bathing the small room in gold, 'a poor man's gilding' his father would say. A fitting description for all that Viktor could offer the one he loves. Dulcie was tinkering with her prosthetic leg, unaware of Viktor's internal fretting. With a lazy tune slipping out of her, she ran through the routine of her daily maintenance they both knew she only did daily when he hovered nearby. Her two-toned hair glowing, the wild strands catching at every angle she moved in. Viktor himself sat a sofa away, pretending to read his notes as he formulated the correct way to phrase this.

"Dulcie." He begins.

"Viktor." She responds with matching inflection, not turning around.

That is a miscalculation on Viktor's half, he thought she'd at least turn her head, give him the hint of that smirk; the one that would always encourage him to try again. He swallowed the bitter rise of fear.

"What do you see in me?" There it is. Hanging in the air instead of inside his feeble chest.

The small sounds of cleaning stopped not suddenly, but in a slow meter as Dulcie absorbed his words. He could tell she was turning them over, careful with every interpretation & insinuation. She is methodical like that, though she prefers to call it 'considerate'.

Still without showing her face, she lifted her head & spoke.

"If I asked you, would you blow my back out?"

Like a discordant breaking of a finely tuned string Viktor's voice is riddled with confusion & fear. "Y-yes?" His mind still reeling from the non-sequitur.

Dulcie just shrugs, twisting a last nut into alignment.

"That's all I want in a man." She stretched her metal limb, flexing so the pistons would slide along, allowing her to assess their condition. A perfect & casual gesture. Unfitting for someone who just ripped the conversation off its tracks.

He hums just to fill the silence, catching the line of her shoulders the sun illuminates as she straightens out of her hunch. Just as her muscles flex to turn Viktor remembers himself & decides to be busy turning the pages of his book, the writing all but foreign to him. "So my personality & feelings are irrelevant?" He wasn't aware he was pouting until he could hear it in his voice, he quickly readjusts.

"Of course!" Dulcie throws her hands up, a barely restrained smile visible on her face turned towards Viktor as she is. "Why would I ever entertain things so unscientific?" The end is emphasized in his familiar lilt.

Viktor stops & raises his focus to his lover, a squint pinching the features of his face, he tilts his head. Then a cog turns.

"... You are referencing me, to me." He states cleanly, shutting his book one-handed. Still attempting severity.

Dulcie laughs. Closing the small distance between them with a shuffle of her knees, she takes his head in her hands & slowly following the lines of his cheekbones with her palms. The scent of cleaning oils & mechanical lubricant lulled Viktor in. Her mouth is pursed in a pantomime of how his was a moment ago.

Finding something Viktor could never see Dulcie nods & leans in to place a careful kiss on Viktor's forehead. All was right with the world at that moment. A happy noise emphasizes the transition from genuine care to an audible smack of the end of a smooch, Dulcie leans back just enough to catch his eye.

"I knew there was another reason I love you. You're quick on the uptake." She begins to place feather-light kisses across his face. Tilting his jaw to aid her ministrations. It felt as though Dulcie was re-tuning him with every touch, & with each press of her lips his thoughts slotted into their proper place once again.

"You're trying to distract me from the issue." Viktor chides with all the tension of an old spring. His long fingers smooth over her wrists as if he were about to stop her, but instead of pulling her away, he guides her towards his own kiss. His thumbs rubbing soft circles across her skin. The book was placed on the small table beside him.

"Oh, so smart." Dulcie coos, mirth thick in her tone as he breaks away for a breath.

Viktor's eyes are unfocused from the love he is steeped in.

"That's just condescending." He mumbles before repaying her latest kiss in kind.

"Stop kissing me then." She challenges, with barely enough space between their lips.

"Never." He replied, killing the challenge with a single word, & his doubt dying with it. A swift end. As gentle in its decay as the touches exchanged between the two now.

A whistle was still a tune.
