Dirty asks, you say... ;)

I have one for you, friend. What does your i d e a l Guitarspear smut scene include?

In my defense, i fully used that tag not expecting any asks to come through; and instead you are getting RIGHT TO THE POINT.

Fair warning; about to get into specifics.

Honestly ideal guitarspear smut is a lil kinky for me. I cannot picture these two being vanilla.

I adore a good light dom/sub (or full dom/sub) where Lute is the bottom, Adam tops. I think that it’s good for Lute to give up control sometimes, and who better for her to trust than Adam 🥹❤️

On a similar note, I imagine Adam fucking ADORES taking care of her in this way. I fucking love this dynamic. Give. Me. ALL OF IT 🔥

Good foreplay is essential! Give me ALL the touches, the dirty talk. I fucking LOVE when Adam just MANHANDLES Lute, and then contrasts it with him being the most attentive and caring partner. All while still putting her in her place. 😮‍💨

Praise Kink. Lute fucking needs it. Tell her how important she is. Call her a good girl. Never let her doubt how good of a job she’s doing.

Touch her TITS. PULL HER HAIR. SPANK HER ASS.

Likewise, I love her gripping onto Adam’s hair; scratching at his back and shoulders, grabbing at his hips. Give it ALL to me.

When they do fuck, I love Adam going slowly because ✨SIZE DIFFERENCE✨ before he absolutely destroys her.

And when they are done? AFTERCARE! I really love mutual bathing with these two. Hair stroking. More praise. Snuggles. Reassurance. 🥹

Thank you for the ask ❤️

Is Adam a orphan or does he have parents in the priest au?

Did Sera adopt him perhaps?

Hey Anon!

Sadly, @a-dose-of-comatose and I have given Adam a fairly normal background. His parents are still alive and kicking—they've retired someone far away, but keep in touch via Facebook and when he goes to see them once or twice a year.

Sister Sera definitely didn't adopt him ;)

hey! just read through chapters 2 and 3 of “in my life, i love you more”. congrats on making me tear up in the dead of night Several times. this is actually so good

AGH it's been a hundred years (like two weeks), but i wanted to finally answer this lovely ask; hurt/comfort and emotional stuff isn't usually my wheelhouse so i'm so happy to hear in my life's touched you in that way, i've been putting a lot of myself into it :3

speaking of which...if it's feels you seek, i have been holding out on you guys in the way of that good good angst; unsurprisingly it's easy to get bashful about doodling hurt/comfort from your own gay lil self-indulgent fanfic lmao

What is the one thing that bothers each other on their lover?

Not huge icks, but small bothers?

Vasco can be forgetful and a bit irresponsible. And even if he means well, he sometimes comes across inconsiderate, he just doesn't always think things through. He's usually very sure of himself, stubborn and resistant to accepting advice if he thinks he knows what he's doing. Occasionally he misreads the situation and his attempts to lighten the mood misfire so severely, it's like he's incapable taking things seriously.

Machete has a nitpicky control freak side to him that gets more pronounced when he's stressed. He's prone to bottling up his emotions and then feeling misunderstood when people can't read his mind. He finds a way to blame himself for everything and is a chronic over-apologizer.

[vaguely-concerned]

that banter lucanis has with davrin where he tells him he shouldn't be letting assan go soft, because when you let that happen to 'predators like us' you turn them into sheepdogs. all anxiety all the time. ...lucanis baby is there something you want to talk about. I mean I know you'd literally rather die but well if you need it the offer is on the table lol

[eupheme]

I just read “you’ve got me wanting you” and holy fucking shit is it literally the most perfect thing ever. You absolutely NAIL the characters personalities. And the soft moments at the end literally melted my heart.

Anyway, it got me thinking about something I haven’t read before which is a reader who really wants to have sex and all but it really nervous and easily overwhelmed. (I’ve been asked out once and even then my heart was literally pounding so hard and I thought I would pass out my face was so hot, so sex I think I’d die lol)

I imagine Logan is used to the more passionate, or at least experienced partners. So it might be a little out of his comfort zone he thinks but is willing to walk you through it slowly and keep it light hearted for you to make sure you are comfortable.

ahh anon this made my day! I am happy with how it turned out, I did have to do a draft overhaul, so I have just been like - ooh I hope this reads the way I hoped! 💖 reading this made me feel so encouraged, thank you so much! The soft parts were definitely my favorite.

and ooooh I love this!! I definitely do think Logan has a lot of experience, and right - he might not always be thinking about (initially - like, in his own eagerness) someone needing to take it slower. I love the thought of him being perceptive and taking that mental step back, and he would definitely slow things down and take you through things at your own pace.

(and I couldn't stop thinking about this!! you said you hadn't read it before so I wanted to give it a try - I worked on a little drabble based around your idea, with full credit to you of course! I have it queued in another post, hope that is ok!) 💖

Seto is totally a man who enjoys sucking while kissing

Aaaaaaa you're completely right, I've said it before but Kaiba has a tendency to "Kiss with his teeth", in a way 😭

(A cropped piece of an NSFW 🔞 image I did a long time ago, but it fits perfectly in this case)

[a-dose-of-comatose]

Hey Nerve! I’m really adoring ‘Thou Shalt Not’ so far. I do have one burning question for you and DG - do you guys plan to deep dive into how/why Adam became a priest in future chapters? I know we (very) briefly read about him getting his tattoo before seminary, which got me feeling curious. 🫶

Hello anon!

From @deadgirlwalking91 and I,

Without spoiling anything or going into detail, Lute and Adam are absolutely going to have a conversation about it.

As feelings progress, Adam is going to be faced with the reality of his vocation, and ultimately will have some very difficult choices to make—choices that will make him think back to how he started in the first place.

[deadgirlwalking91]

In “thou shalt not” if lute were to ever talk to other men from the church do you think father Adam would get jealous especially if the men she would talk to would try to flirt with her?

This ask has @a-dose-of-comatose and I feeling so inspired, you’ll have to wait to find out 🤭

[danrifics]

I can't de with people saying heartstopper was influenced by dan and phil, like is that true??? I might die

no its not and i need people to stop spreading that around cos there is literally no proof of this at all... like sure Alice was a fan of dnp, they drew fan art of them etc but heartstopper is not influenced by dan and phil at all, the only connection dnp have to it is that phil is mentioned in radio silence.

like i actually think saying that does an injustice to what heartstopper is and i wish people would stop trying to connect them together

[netmors]

I love that you give a spotlight to Karyn Faro! She deserves so much more love from the fandom! ❤️❤️

Your style is immaculate! ❤️

[bievre]

i feel like people perceive me as a downer whenever top surgery comes up because theres really no way to sugarcoat the fact that i never got surface sensation back on my chest lol but what's crazy is i don't even mean it as any kind of deterrent i literally have zero regrets i would do it again it does not interfere with my life etc etc i just also think if people are asking about surgery you should not conceal the truth about things that can happen afterward lol. surgeons do this with every procedure too like when i went in for a cholecystectomy consult i asked about this and he acted like it was an insane thing to even worry about like asking if the flying spaghetti monster is going to do the rapture tomorrow morning. like man idk what to tell you i have google too and this is basically just something that can happen any time someone has a go at you with a scalpel? sorry thats inconvenient i think if your job is cutting people open you should have a modicum of awareness about what happens to them after. anyway i don't have interest in bottom surgery probably ever for several reasons but if i ever change my mind you better believe i will be so annoying about this you are not going near My Dick if you won't even acknowledge this is an event that occurs physically in the universe sometimes lmfao

The amazing @liloinkoink indulged my begging for requests, and I was frankly overdue for a drawing of Technoblade as it was!
