Hi bestie I’m happy to know you feel the love ❤️ I have come here today with a request about Mat’s slutty shorts from liana’s latest video. They deserve all the love

F1/NHL anon

ohhh slutty short season is my favorite season and i have thoughts 😈

mat has stupidly thick thighs, a big dick, and a hockey ass

so

3-5” inseam slutty shorts summer is your favorite season

the fabric strains over his thighs and ass, especially when he’s sitting or working out

you love to tease him to see how much of his dick you can see outlined against the front of his shorts before he’s ripping the fabric from his body to let his dick spring free from its confines

it usually doesn’t take too long to see the perfect outline and you’ll trail your fingers over the impression, watching his dick twitch behind the fabric

it’s easy enough to pull his shorts down and let the waistband rest under his balls so you can tease him with your hands and mouth

the leg holes are tight around his thighs and you like to trace over the bulge of muscle and veins there too

you love to sit on his lap and feel the hard press of his against your ass, grinding down on him to work him up and get pre cum dampening the front of his shorts

the best part of the slut shorts is how easy it is to ride his thighs at any given moment

mat will be lounging on the couch or sitting at the table and you’re there immediately

legs straddling his thighs, bare cunt hot on his skin

mat’ll smirk and keep his hands off of you, calling you needy and greedy and slutty as you grind yourself over his thigh

your arousal gets his leg wet and slicks down the hair on his leg, an easy glide for you

he’ll flex his thigh muscle to give you something to work with

his leg hair catches your clit and you’re whining, falling apart on his leg, basically humping him

mat will pull the hem of his shorts up even higher, outlining his dick and balls and making your mouth water

instead of helping you get yourself off, he grips his cock roughly, grinding the palm of his hand over the stiff length through his pants

“wanna touch you,” you moan, reaching for him and sliding your cunt further down his bare thigh

your hands slip under the waistband of his shorts, using his stomach as leverage with one hand to work your hips and gripping him with the other hand

you’re barely coordinated enough to get yourself off, let alone the both of you

so mat takes pity and grips your hips with big hands, dragging you back and forth over his thigh, bouncing his leg and flexing the muscle to help

“so pretty when you ride my thigh,” he grunts, eyes glazed as he watches the slick trail of your arousal glisten on his leg

“fuckin love these shorts,” you reply, grinding your hips down and completely falling apart with a gush of fluid

mat’s shorts are soaked from your arousal and his come since you jerked him off inside his pants

later he makes you ride his other thigh so it “doesn’t get jealous”

literally every time he wears the shorts, you’re in his lap, perched on his thigh, or settled in between his legs and mouthing his cock over his pants challenging yourself to make him come inside them and ruin the fabric

he buys like multiple pairs a year and every summer you make it your mission to destroy them all with yours and his orgasms

slightly more wholesome, you make fun of him for the band of a tan line since he always starts the summer in 5” inseams and then switches to 3” in like july after he’s already gotten a decent tan going

While I still don't think the show has done enough to show why the world despises and fears male channelers (since it really should've been embedded into the world building, so far we only know that the Aes Sedai hate and fear them) and it does kinda lessen the impact of the narrative that none of the EF5 had at least an initial gut reaction to Rand being able to channel. I do wonder how they're gonna handle that topic moving forward, cause it kinda has to be addressed now that Rand is actively channeling. I could see it being expanded more deeply as Rand's madness progresses/tie it into his arc.

the show has made it ABUNDANTLY clear that Male Channelers Are Considered Bad News By All. it IS embedded into the worldbuilding. was the king saying that logain's gone mad and trying to kill him not enough for you? was the people of tar valon jeering and throwing fruit at him not enough for you? was rand and mat saying "hey if i'm a male channeler please kill me" not enough for you? was rand's terror the second he realized selene saw him channel not enough for you? was selene's act of how a normal person would react to finding out her boyfriend can channel not enough for you? was his heartbroken yet unsurprised reaction to her rejection not enough for you? was the whole backstory of a male channeler causing the apocalypse not enough for you? do you think that show-onlys are completely incapable of putting all these pieces together along with aes sedai treatment of male channelers and coming to the conclusion that male channelers are probably not very popular with most people and it's going to be very tough for rand that he is one?

literally what else should they have done that would make sense within the very small world and very early story of the first 2 seasons/3 books that they didn't already do? shown emond's fielders sitting around the dinner table talking about how much they hate and fear male channelers when none of them has ever met one and thus it's not relevant to their lives? wasted time doing a whole sidequest for rand in s2 where his abilities are discovered by some Average Citizens and they react badly? shit all over show!mat's characterization and given him a negative reaction to rand in s2 that would not make sense for his current show headspace, just for the sake of furthering rand's randpain? i'm sick of the rand stans who act like rand is the only character who matters and mat's characterization should be sacrificed just so we can go "oh poor rand uwu even his own best friend is mean to him". portraying mat in 2x06 as the sort of person who bullies and kicks his best friend while he's down would've been beneficial because......? what is so wrong with the show making the ef5 feel like mutually loyal friends instead of "rand is the best and most loyal friend in the world but the rest are little shits who abandon him as soon as the going gets tough"? seeing as in the books, mat continues to be an extremely loyal friend to rand throughout the series but most readers are too stupid to see through his unreliable narration and realize he doesn't mean it when he says that rand channeling is like him eating babies, i'm not surprised the show decided to simplify things in order to convey the true heart of mat's character (loyal and caring friend to rand) in a more obvious manner.

and i guarantee you that no show-only is going "oh, it's only aes sedai who have a problem with male channelers, everyone else thinks they're cool". that's not happening. show-onlys are not stupid, and they understand that male channelers are considered bad news by all; or maybe they haven't thought much yet about how male channelers are viewed by the average public, but in future seasons once we see rand getting shit from the average public, they are not going to be surprised or confused or go "but i thought it was only aes sedai who had a problem with them and everyone else thinks they're cool?", they're going to go "oh, well we've seen how much aes sedai hate them, so it makes sense that everyone else does too". stop. think for 2 seconds about "have i actually seen a large number* of show-onlys misunderstanding X and/or do i think it's plausible that a large number of show-onlys would be likely to misunderstand X, or do show-onlys have enough context clues to figure out X for themselves or to be unsurprised when X is expanded on and made more explicit in future seasons and i'm working myself up into a state over a non-issue?"

*there are always going to be a handful of people incapable of critical thinking who willfully misunderstand what the show is showing us, just like there are readers like that with the books, hence unless a LARGE number of general-population show-onlys are misunderstanding X, as opposed to just 20 idiots on twitter, i do not consider it a failure by the show in portraying X.

Okay, it's not a good *wallet* habit, but i highly recommend cultivating a stress response of acquiring a new niche hobby. Work is hard? New hobby! Never enough hours in the day to do important things? NEW HOBBY. It's a flawless solution, don't even worry. I have no idea how long I'm going to be preoccupied with this, because I'm accelerating but have no gauge for max speed, but straw marquetry time

I didn't understand how it was possible to be doing so much work, and I'm glad you're finally taking a break ❤️

To be fair, I am lucky that I type very fast! I've had an awful lot of practice writing and so I'm faster at it than someone who is starting out or even someone who is 5 years into a writing career.

That being said, I have no idea how I was doing so much work as well. Prior to 2023 it was normal for me to only be working on 2-3 stories at a time (with around 5-8 chapters a week max, and my main story updated only once every 2 weeks). Not the amount I'm doing now. Things exploded with Underline the Black and my lack of impulse control (as well as the appeal of offering side stories) meant I started up two more stories alongside it. Then calm Palmarosa and Constellations and suddenly I had a lot on my plate that I felt like I had to be regularly committed to.

I was pretty burnt out prior to getting Toby (our puppy), so on that side of things, I was a little too ambitious in thinking I'd be able to juggle everything.

I have known that like, once certain side stories finish, my schedule quietens down and I think what I've been hoping for is like 'just hold out until this finishes, and then this finishes, and then this finishes. Just hold out.' But my stories take some time to complete, and 'just holding out' means sometimes waiting 1-2 years.

So yeah instead of doing that I'm going to try something sooner. I was doing the week break from Underline the Black in 2024 but it just hasn't been enough.

So like, I am very lucky I type fast! When I'm comfortable, I'll always be prolific to the point that at least some people will be like 'I don't know how you do that' - a lot of that is just experience. My typing speed is around 120-140 words per minute and I can comfortably finish a 3,000 word chapter in about 2 hours (with room to think / imagine what is coming next etc. and pausing to reread sections for clarity). Sometimes faster. Sometimes slower if the chapter is challenging. On very good days, I can write 2 chapters in a day. The last time I had a day like that was March 11th.

Editing takes me a lot longer though, and weirdly so do things like the Birthday Spotlights. I think I really underestimated how much time each one would take to do in terms of the graphics + hyperlinks + finding quotes etc.

I'm still going to be writing here and there over the next two months. But even just an update/posting hiatus and a slow down will help an indescribably amount. The reality is I haven't actually done very much at all this April and I still feel very overwhelmed (even more so because I knew I was running down my buffer of chapters for May/June), so taking the next step, and hope that's enough!

The good news is I've taken hiatuses before and I've always come back afterwards raring to go, and I'm hoping that's the case now too. :)

“...why is that stupid faker so pretty? THATS A REAL QUESTION” @shadowlikesguns

Oh. Uhm. He just is? He doesn't really have a routine that I know of. Other than not brushing his quills for like a month straight. @ask-sonc

Imagine Kevin writing Hunter notes 🤭

From your amazing fic 🥰

Oh my god, seeing that line handwritten out sure is something 😖💀 Not in a bad way!! Just...I really went ahead and put that in a fic, didn't I? lmao

I definitely held back less with Candy Apples ^-^" which was admittedly really fun, I should hold back less in my writing going forward.

But...if Kevin started leaving Hunter notes like that...boyo would 404 every time. I don't think Hunter deals well with affection that direct. His brain would disconnect for a few seconds. If Kevin winked at him on stage he'd fuck up his guitar playing every single time without fail. Fans would post compilation vids of him doing it if when Skullflower got big. At least that is now my headcanon lol

[thewintersoldierdisaster]

you calling Matt historical for any reason,how does he calm you over the phone?

my sweet yapper playoff bound baby!! ☺️

i think he’s a little distracted when he initially answers your call, thinking you’re going to talk about the game and your day and then go to bed

so when he hears your gasping sobs on the other end, he’s startled and immediately switches to concern

“hey, hey baby calm down, what’s the matter?” he sounds a little panicky because he has no idea what’s going on

once you’ve managed to tell him what’s happening and he’s clear that no one is hurt or dying, mat switches the call to a facetime

you almost reject it because you don’t want him to see you ugly crying but the sight of his face is calming

“hey there gorgeous,” he smiles reassuringly, “there’s that face i love”

you’re curled up in bed but he’s sitting straight up on the hotel bed, looking like he’s ready to sprint out of the hotel and come straight home to you

as much as mat doesn’t shut up, he’s also a really good listener when you need him to be

so he asks if you want him to just listen or if you want him to distract you

if you want him to listen, he just lets you go, interjecting every so often with a reassurance or a soft noise of sympathy

if you want him to distract you, he’s off to the races, giving you a blow by blow of his day - what he had for breakfast, for lunch, how his pregame nap was, every minute of the game, the locker room shenanigans, what noah said to him on the bus, literally any thought that pops into his head he’ll use to distract you

by the end of the call that’s stretched out into more than an hour or two, he has you laughing instead of crying and he’s grinning like an idiot because he loves to make you feel better

mat’ll keep talking too, until you’re asleep in bed and he has to be the one to end the call

the next day, he’ll have your favorite coffee and breakfast pastries doordashed to you as a pick me up

he’ll text when he can to make sure you’re still doing okay

and when he’s home, even if it’s been a day or so since you called him, he always always always crushes you in a giant bear hug and kisses you like he’s been gone for months

Mat Cauthon, 12

What's a headcanon I have for this character?

Oh man, I mean, I find it so easy to adopt other's headcanons for him --he's dyslexic, he's ADHD, what if he had the untapped potential to learn to channel-- what's something I have come up with independently, let me think...

I suppose, if he never became the Prince if Ravens, he would be destined to be Elayne's First Prince of the Sword. In the books, he challenges and defeats both her brothers in a duel, before going on to try and save her life from a Forsaken's kill order. He also has the charisma and tactical knowledge that leads to building his own army. I don't doubt Elayne's sweet-talking skills that she couldn't convince him to take Gawyn's spot by her side as Gawyn becomes busy being Egwene's warder-husband.

Plus, he and her warder Birgitte are natural bffs. Now whether or not Mat would accept or even volunteer to let Elayne bond him as a warder also, well, I'll leave that up to a toss of the dice.

[barzal-mat]

There was this fic a long time ago where the readers married to Crosby but cheats on him with barzal & barzal catches her in Pitt with Crosby. I can’t think for the life of my what or who that fic is from

this one?? I found it today when I was compiling my fic recs and was so sad to realize they deactivated :(
