Mah Twenty Twenty-Hos
(Jasminerva's blorbos of 2024)
Thank you for the tag, @akifordessert!!! love your blorbos in your post.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nagumo Yoichi (Sakamoto Days) he's a menace wrapped in an enigma wrapped in tattoos and smarminess. there's way more to him than meets the eye, and i don't mean the tattooed parts we have yet to see. but i would very much like to see them - yes yes. those shoulders carry so much weight and i don't mean me as i climb him like a tree. would play strip poker with him, would also like to be there as his own shoulder to lean on and let him take off his emotional layers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Akabane Sousei (Sentai Daishikkaku / Go! Go! Loser Ranger!) he's a mad lad - emphasis on mad. i was always into the red ranger and i have failed to diverge from the path. but this dude... he's a RED FLAG ranger - all you see is red!!! like, normally i can talk myself outta it but he's just all yan and no dere and that's what i appreciates about him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hoshina Soshiro (Kaiju no. 8) he made me live, laugh, love so much. best mentor, best buddy, best Kansai-ben fox-eyed dude (sorry Gin). dual wield me please and tell me i'm a good girl who works real hard, but also gimme a noogie and treat me like your subordinate while razzing me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yoshida Hirofumi (Chainsaw Man) i came. i saw. i declared: "you look like my next mistake". took a break from CSM but never from you. that beauty mark hides life's greatest secrets like why you so fiiine? why you so trim and shady? i'm glad you're back but i trust Fujimoto as far as i can throw him. after fire punch i'd like to fire punch Fujimoto up the--
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mudano Naito (Tougen Anki) hot for teacher gdi. but this teacher schools hard af - and i don't just mean the students. he teaches purdy darn well in his own abrasive way too. another tattooed dude but he's not so mysterious as he is guarded. but STILL he cares so much. mark my words, he's efficient on the streets but passionate in the sheets.
Tagging all the Tumblr OGs who are still (semi-)active here because we need to catch up (my main is @rinri)! Or maybe we're just getting to know each other! Heck, I'll tag some new friends as well~ keep it fresh!
Who even are we anymore??? What fandoms do we belong to now??? Are you feeling as old as I am?????
tag, you're it~! @fffurina @damnthoseanimeboys @hisamei @celapin @docosahexaenoic-san @kumikocchi @kiurona @toyboxterror
no pressure! and no need to explain your blorbos. list them, picture 'em - whatever! i just felt like yapping lmao.

hello!! I hope you don’t mind me asking this, but do you have any good gf fic recs? I really like your sister’s one so maybe ones with similar vibes to that? :D
heck yeah! *to the tune of Stunkle Bunkle* East gives Gravity Falls Fic Recs!
idk if i can say for sure what does or doesn't have similar vibes to Pines Paradox, but I can tell you fics I like! Although legally if you like a fic I recommended you have to tell me 'I read that one and liked it' so I can feel like I'm getting a good grade in fics recs. One last thing: I'm not really a shipper so these should all if not mostly be gen. (if you want to see my entire list of bookmarks fics you can check out my ao3
Pines Paradox - BrownieFox
Ford's research is interrupted by his estranged brother showing up on his doorstep with a kid who claims to be time traveller. Meanwhile in the present, Stan and Mabel try to figure out how to get Dipper back to the right time. There will be secrets revealed, old wounds readdressed, and above it all a one-eyed demon watches with interest.
East: the primer. the blueprint. The one I do all the fanart for. Obv you have already read it, but in case this list gets around to other circles outside of my own, I want to put this one up first. Dipper gets stuck in the past BEFORE Not What He Seems.
Adrift - Jamesneatojourney
Stanford wakes up on the deck of the Stan O'War, concussed and alone
East: intense and dramatic - I'm kind of a sucker for Stan whump and that's what it is paired with REALLY good Ford POV
Pines! Pines! Pines! - hellmandraws
A collection of my various Gravity Falls fan comics, previously posted on Tumblr. The main focus tends to be on the Stan twins.
East: MUST READ COMICS. Hops all over the timeline, mostly focusing on Stan and Ford. Explores a bunch of aspects of their relationship, of the years they spend alone. It's the beast stuff out there.
putting the dog to sleep - parsnipit
ford can’t stop thinking about old yeller that night, staring up at the glow-in-the-dark stars on their ceiling. he couldn’t do it, he thinks. he couldn’t ever shoot his own dog, no matter what. “well,” stanley says pragmatically the next morning, pretending like he doesn’t care as much as ford knows he does, “since he was sufferin’ and all, it was really better for him to be dead, wasn’t it? not much point in being alive if your whole life is terrible and you’re a danger to everybody you ever loved.” something cold and sharp takes up residence in ford’s stomach. he doesn’t like hearing stanley say stuff like that. he doesn’t like it at all. “i wouldn’t do it,” ford insists. “no matter what, i wouldn’t. there’s always another way.” “heh. yeah, i bet you’d find another way, brainiac,” stanley teases, reaching over to muss ford’s hair. ford swats him away. stanley can make fun all he wants—ford still spends all night thinking about cures for rabies.
East: OUTRHGDSGD the old yeller analogy that runs through this one shot absolutely kills me - I'm such a sucker for these types of metaphors. It uses quotes from the book to set the stage the the different sections and it drives me crazy in the best ways.
Things You Can't Take Back - thesnadger
It's Nineteen Seventy-Something. Stan is running from his mistakes, when he suddenly encounters the last person he ever thought he'd run into out here. What is he doing in Columbia, so far from Glass Shard Beach?
East: dare I spoil the twist? I won't. Read it. One of my all time faves.
Persist and Dwell - fencesit
Wendy pauses with her hand on the door and then says, "Hey, Soos—you ever notice Stan doesn't really...touch things?" He probably should have seen this coming, but the problem with deliberately not looking at things is that they have lots of chances to blindside you. In hopes of avoiding this conversation, Soos says, "I haven't noticed that." "Okay," Wendy says. "So. I'm going crazy, right?" "Dude, you're too smart to be crazy," Soos says, "but he totally touches things. He handed you money like five minutes ago."
East: What if Stan was lowkey-highkey haunting the shack?! THIS IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA. I really wish that there was more for this au or this idea
Deja Vu - interlude
Stan and Ford get stuck in a time loop on the day of the portal incident and are forced to work through some things.
East: Through the lense of a timeloop, watch the brothers have their struggles, and find that with infinite time on their hands there is nothing else for them to do but to eventually work things out (and maybe deal with how to get out of the loop). ITS GOOD SHIT
The Sacrifice of Stanford Pines - Jugare
Instead of sending Stan a postcard, Ford leaves Gravity Falls to find his brother. But to his shock, Stan is not nearly as willing to help as Ford thought. Everything goes south quickly.
East: I love this fic. The act of Ford going and finding Stan rather than having him send a letter gives these characters more time to interact before they arrive at the Shack, changing the course of fate. A top tier fic.
Under The Ice - castielrisingabove
What if that phone call the Bill-possessed Ford made to Stan actually went through?
East: short but to the point. A fun thought experiment and I think does a good job portraying both Stanley and Ford.
Sleight of Hand - impish_nature
Stan the magician!
East: Stan, post weirdmageddon, shows off his sleight of hand and his magic tricks. Ford POV. If you like the idea of the things lost in the cracks of memory after the series finale, or at least while Stan recuperates, you'll like this.
Unexpected but not Unwanted - impish_nature
Ford struggles as Stan remembers.
East: the tentative movements towards being a family, being brothers again, post weirdmageddon. shamelessly soft.
I Am A Selkie On The Sea - scribefindegil
The twins may be able to use the same sealskin, but only the one born with it is the true selkie. At least, that's what Ford's been telling himself for the past 40-odd years.
East: This series in general is really good. I like how the selkie skin is used to unit and to tear apart. My one gripe is I wish we never found out whether the skin belonged to Mabel or Dipper, and it was left for the reader to decide (and to decide if that even matters)
Too Late, Too Soon, Not Enough - IncomingAlbatross
(Another take on the missing scene in the Fearamid, featuring protectiveness, promises, and some long-overdue emotional progress. Also Stan being annoying on purpose.)
East: one of my favorite depictions of this scene. Does a good job with Fords POV and writing Stanley
why can't we just teach kids swears? - untrustworthyglitch
“Anyway, what’s in my kitchen that needs kid proofed? I keep the liquor in the high cabinets, where the kids won’t be able to reach,” Stan says. “Plus, the gun in the breadbox isn’t even loaded. Probably. I think.” Soos sighs. “I have my work cut out for me.” Or, in which Stan's niece and nephew are coming, and it's up to Wendy and Soos to fix Stan's life and habits.
East: A good fic, but more than that I really love this idea of how Soos and Wendy helped Stan get the shack ready for the kids.
Protective Instincts - ShyEye
Stanford decides to do some out of house research one late full moon night. He returns home only to almost instantly be attacked by an unfamiliar monster that maybe isn't as unfamiliar as initially thought.
East: I just love werewolf Stan au okay?
The Other Portal - Haberdasher
AU where, when items are lost in the Bottomless Pit, they come to Ford… regardless of his current location in the multiverse.
East: A good fic, but more than that it's a really fun idea! I wish they had pushed the implications of this even more (especially with the bottomless pit episode)
Off-Season - anistarrose
Winters running the Mystery Shack are difficult, but two unexpected guests improve Stan’s day.
East: cute oneshot. I'm a big fan of timetravel oneshots that are from the pov of the person who ISNT the timetraveler. Dramatic (or in this case tbh just very cute) irony.
In the Shadow of Death - A_Zap
It all started with the grim. Now it seems like every time he turns around, Ford finds yet another death omen hanging around his brother. Seriously, what exactly is going on with his brother that death constantly seems to follow his footsteps? A 5+1 fic of the death omens that adopted Stan and he adopted back.
East: It all comes together in the final chapter, trust me.
Changing Tides - Ariasune
When their dĂŚmons settle, they'll be grown up. At least, that's the general idea.
and
Post-script - Ariasune
Poindexter, your deed is in the safe -- Wendy can open it for you -- don't worry about the mortgage, that's been paid off. Sorry about messing your life up again. Bye. PS - the milk is about to go bad, so you should use that up.
East: DAEMON AU DAEMON AU I'm such a sucker for these kinds of aus. Changing Tides focuses on canon, flipping between when the Stans were kids and the time of the show. Post Script naturally happens after the show. They're both good and dramatic.
Raising Stakes - Mary P Sue
East: heck, my copy and paste stopped working for some reason, so no summary for you. This is a vampire au and it's good! Create characterization, pretty clearly written either while Mystery Trio was a big thing or inspired by it. Carla fans get your juice.

Katara
Tumblr media
[ image description: a digital drawing of Katara from Avatar: the Last Airbender in my style. She is a dark-skinned woman standing in ¾ view with brown hair pulled back into a bun and held with a gold and blue jewel pin. Her ‘hair loopies’ are braided into her bun too. She is wearing a blue cheongsam with gold wave embroidery on the mandarin collar, sleeve and skirt hems, and gold embroidery of gardenias and plum blossoms. She is holding a blue and gold hand fan and standing in front of a brown water tribe symbol ]
prints ✨ commissions
Okay so this is from (I think) last year, but I'm really struggling and burnt out right now, what with having to fight once again for my basic rights (gotta love the UK - “we’re a first world country guys, we have trillions of £££ worth of billionaires, so of course we'll strip away your ability to live with dignity if you don't meet our arbitrary ‘productive’ threshold”), so anyway I'm just gonna repost some of my old faves while I take some time to collect myself again. This is from an ATLA project I did, drawing the protags in Republic City at a New Year's Ball. It originally came with text slides delving into water tribe cultural wear and how I came up with this design, but I cannot for the life of me find where I put them or remember how I made them, so I'll include the text under the cut (should also note that there is just so much nuance missing from these, since it's impossible to condense thousands of years and miles worth of culture into a few Instagram slides):
A bit of background:
The Water Tribes' culture is based primarily on those of Arctic and Siberian peoples. The Northern Tribe has more influence from Siberian peoples (for example, the Yakut, the Buryat, and the Evenk), while the Southern Tribe has more influence from Arctic peoples (such as the Inuit, the Sireniki, and the Yupik). Since the Southern Tribe was founded by ancient immigrants from the Northern Tribe, this reflects the real world relationship between Arctic and Siberian peoples. However, the Water Tribes also draw from other Indigenous peoples, such as Native American, Aboriginal Australian, and Polynesian cultures. And, like all cultures in the ATLA world, the Water Tribes also have extensive Chinese influence.
Some examples include: the igloos used by the Southern Tribe, which resemble those used by the Inuit; the Water Tribes' reliance on hunting and fishing, similar to the Inuit; Water Tribe warriors wear face paint into battle, a practice associated with Native Americans, as well as African and Southeast Asian tribes; Water Tribe boats are based on Polynesian catamarans; Water Tribe boomerangs are based on the “returning boomerangs” used by Aboriginal Australian tribes.
Standard Water Tribe Clothing:
Water Tribe clothing typically resembles the clothing of Arctic peoples. For example, the large, pullover coats are drawn from Inuit anoraks (also called parkas, although they are strictly speaking not the same). Anoraks are typically made from reindeer or seal skin and lined with fur.
Water Tribe shoes are influenced by the mukluks worn by Arctic peoples. These shoes are also made from reindeer or seal skin and are often worn with an inner liner and protective overshoe.
‘Hair loopies’ are also based on an Inuit hairstyle. While braided hairstyles are found in cultures all over the world, ‘hair loopies’ are based on a uniquely Canadian Inuit hairstyle and are called qilliqti in Inuktitut.
Warm-Weather Clothing:
Katara's warm-weather clothes are inspired by the Chinese cheongsam (Cantonese: 長衫; literally 'long shirt/dress'). It is typically a long, form-fitting, one-piece garment with a standing (mandarin) collar, an asymmetrical, left-over-right closure (右衽; youren), two side slits, and Chinese frog closures (盤扣; pankou).
The cheongsam developed in the 1910s and 1920s following the overthrow of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China (1911). It was chosen as a national dress in 1929.
Over the past century, the cheongsam has developed into several distinct styles: the Beijing style, which retains the original loose fit and is typically elaborately embroidered and adorned; the Shanghai style, which developed in the 1930s and 1940s with Western tailoring techniques to be more form-fitting with less elaborate embroidery; and the Jiangnan style, which tends to be the most elaborately adorned, with embroidery and hand painting.
My Design:
Cheongsam's are typically decorated with motifs of animals or plants and each has its own meaning in Chinese culture. I chose to draw floral designs, namely gardenias and plum blossoms:
Gardenias are associated with November, sturdiness and feminine beauty, and I think all of these link to Katara, even November as a winter month. Furthermore, they are a symbol of clarity, faith, hope and rejuvenation. As the most hopeful member of the gaang, I think they sum her up perfectly. Plum blossoms are also a symbol of winter, since they bloom in the cold, and they are a symbol of wisdom, feminine charm and logevity so I chose them because Katara outlives most of the gaang. But they are also a comment on how the war affected Katara, as she was forced to grow up and become an adult while she was still a child.
Water Tribe clothing typically comes in shades of blue and silver but I chose to replace the silver with gold. I did this to represent Katara's relationship with Aang and the multicultural family that they went on to have

I need more of Johnny Cade being possesive and jealous over his girl. Maybe one were reader purposely trys to make him jealous because she finds it attractive
Tumblr media
“i like JEALOUSY on you.”
𝜗𝜚
johnny cade, who seems to be a really shy boyfriend, gets absolutely enraged if a guy looks at you
johnny isnt aware of how jealous he really is, until, you start making him jealous on purpose
something about the way he wraps his arm around your waist
or even just the way you know hes going to kiss you super passionate infront of them
makes ur heart pitter patter ! so what harm goes into making him jealous on purpose ?
𝜗𝜚
you were playing pool at Buck’s and Johnny was sitting at a booth somewhere.
didn’t really matter to you because you knew he was always watching you, being protective, making sure his girl was okay.
as you were waiting for your turn, a guy walks up next to you. his posture slouched and a lazy grin creeped on his fave.
“hey pretty lady… you come here often.? i don’t think i’ve seen you before..”
his hand rested on the table, the other swirling his cue stick.
you stook in your position, not backing down from this disgusting guy. you locked eyes behind him with johnny, his gaze sharply meeting yours.
you blinked away and batted your eyelashes, a flashy smile “infact i do, maybe you just haven’t been lucky enough.” before he could reply, it was your turn.
you tossed your hair and turned away from him, body lowering to the table and hands pressing up against your stick.
you concentrated, eyes locked on the perfect angle to land your next ball into a hole, right when you were about to draw your arm back to release, an arm jerked you away.
“its time to go,” a hushed whisper to your ear told you everything you needed to know.
“sorry everyone, somebody else take my turns, i’m feeling quite tired all of a sudden-“ johnny dragged you away quicker then you could say goodbye.
𝜗𝜚
you lost track of where johnny took you, only aware that it you both were now behind a building.
it was almost completely dark, a faint lampost in the distance being the only other source of light other than the moon.
johnny had you pressed up against a brick wall, hands wrapped around your back as he hungrily made out with you.
your hair was a tangled mess, legs aching from standing up for too long, arms wrapped around his neck.
“you gonna keep flirting with guys baby?” he whispered against your pleading tongue.
you shook your head. he pushed you against the wall further.
“no, i won’t…” you both knew you were lying. but you were never serious about it.
johnny knew how much you loved seeing him get jealous over you. it drove him crazy to see the lengths you take just to see that certain side of him.
𝜗𝜚
johnny didnt realize how much of an appeal it had on you at first, he actually felt kindve insecure the first time you did it slightly on purpose subconsciously
you of course reassured him, but embarrassingly had to admit that you found it attractive
you both were super embarrassed, which led to a passionate cuddle session with lots of reassurances and funny jokes (from him)
while sometimes it ends with a steamy little romance, sometimes he purposefully waits until the next day because he knows how bad you want it
loves making out with you right after it happens
he tried to make you jealous once, it backfired greatly and did not have the same effect.
if you ever twirl your hair while talking to someone, johnny makes sure he ‘retrieves’ you quicker

reading update: january 2025
I'm a bit behind on getting this posted, so I'm gonna do it quick and dirty. this is not the most elaborate reading round-up I'm ever going to do, and that's okay!!! january has gotten off to a weird, uneven start in terms of reading, and that is what it is!
The Extinction of Irena Rey (Jennifer Croft, 2024) - this book is great for anyone who likes dark academia but wants to see what those students will be like when they’re adults who have to get by outside of college. in this case, they become translators for an enigmatic woman who makes them gather in a remote Polish forest and then disappears. pure vibes all the way down; truly things just happen in this book. the gimmick of the novel itself being a work by one of the characters, told from her perspective, and then translated by another character that the narrator despises, is soooo rich and interesting, and I deeply wish it had been used much more extensively.
Darknesses (Lachelle Seville, 2022) - is this book good? I couldn’t possibly say. it was very fun to read on vacation with like 12% of my brain operating. the best way I can possible explain it is that by the time the book is over it feels like Seville is running one of those old ask blogs where artists would have their blorbos and their OCs answer questions and hang out and stuff. do you know the kind I’m talking about? it’s like that, it’s dissociative identity disorder Dracula and the descendants of the human Dracula characters and Norse mythology werewolves and a vampire bunny and a dragon and Satan who’s a teenage girl with pink hair and they’re all hanging out in New York City. don’t think too hard about it. 
Become Your Own Matchmaker: 8 Easy Steps to Attracting Your Perfect Mate (Patti Stanger with Lisa Johnson Mandell, 2009) - I’m not proud of this and I can’t really justify it except that my housemates and I have gotten really into watching old episodes of Patti Stanger’s terrible TV show, Millionaire Matchmaker. the show is atrocious and so is the book but in my defense it’s extremely funny.
Queen Takes Rose (Katee Robert, 2020) - guys I can’t stand Katee Robert. I really can’t. I thought it was going to be fun but god this just sucked.
Adam & Evie's Matchmaking Tour (Nora Nguyen, 2024) - after that last one I really needed a good, normal romance novel to get me back on track, and this delivered! I don’t think it’s going to be one of my all-time faves, but the characters are lovably realistic losers and I was really rooting for them—especially Evie, who feels like a messy bitch I would love to hang out with. plus the setting, a romping tour across the sights of Vietnam, was so fun and I’m always willing to award points to a romance novel that supports telling your awful to fuck off right to hell!
Mystery Lights (Lena Valencia, 2024) - here’s the thing. every short story in this collection is a well written, coherent short story. thematically there are really clear throughlines; you’ll get a lot of mileage out of this if you like middle aged women who have complicated relationships with their daughters between the ages of 13 and 23. I really wanted to like this! and yet, I feel like this collection just isn’t going to stick with me very well. there are some cool concepts and ideas (there’s a creepy story involving a little girl who disappears into some underground caves and comes back Weird that actually spooked me pretty good) but overall I feel like it’s just not going to stick with me :/
Is Love the Answer? (Uta Isaki, 2021; trans. Sawa Matsueda Savage, 2023) - huge thanks to the person who sent me an ask to recommend this manga! it’s a very quick, sweet read about a university student coming into her aroace identity with the help of a circle of newfound friends supporting her along the way. I really liked the way it delves into the way anxiety can have you second-guessing and overthinking your sense of self even after embracing an identity. this was my Heartstopper (I say, without having ever read Heartstopper).
The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse (Louise Erdrich, 2001) - I picked this up at Erdrich’s bookstore, Birchbark Books & Native Arts, last summer while I was briefly in Minneapolis, on recommendation by an employee at the store. I was initially hesitant about the novel’s focus on spirituality and religion, given that it follows a Catholic priest working on an Ojibwe reservation throughout the 20th century, but man, this was an incredible introduction to Erdrich’s work. Father Damian Modeste is an incredible character and one of my favorite depictions I’ve ever seen of a woman living long-term in disguise as a man, and how the line between those identities blurred. there’s a scene I don’t think I’ll ever forget, in which Modeste is asked, essentially, “Are you a man or a woman?” and answers firmly “I’m a priest.” and all the while, despite the fact that he’s supposed to be an agent of colonization and the destruction of indigenous culture, more than anything he is changed by the Ojibwe people he works with. it’s a surprising, elegant book, and I was shaken to find myself crying at the end. 
A Magical Girl Retires (Park Seolyeon, 2022; trans. Anton Hur 2024) - this book is a short, rapid-fire read that’s a dry, funny take on the magical girl genre. our protagonist starts the book so mired in credit card debt that she’s considering jumping off a bridge when she’s summoned to be a magical girl, and things will only get weirder for her from there as Korea’s magical girl union recruits her to help them combat climate change. a fun read, easy to polish off in a single sitting at less than 200 pages.
salt slow (Julia Armfield, 2019) -now THIS was the short story collection I was waiting for! it reminded me so much of why I loved Armfield’s novel Our Wives Under the Sea. she has another new novel out this year and I’m really looking forward to reading that as well! she has an incredible way with love and melancholy.

So.. Zhongli.....
If he's a dragon hybrid as many depict him to be, seeing as he's the former Geo Archon, with much power. Would he be able to control himself and his draconic nature in the heat of the moment with a small fragile human?
Two thick cocks stood before you, slightly weighed down from their length. You gulped, excitement and fear rising in you as you looked up at your lover from where you kneeled below him.
You were sat neatly on a silken pillow before the former Archon, while the male in question sat tall on the couch in front of you. His lithe index finger poked at your throat before his finely trimmed claw slowly and gently made it's way up to your chin to tilt your face toward his own, forcing your gaze to meet his amber eyes.
"What's wrong little thing?" He asks with a dark chuckle. Your legs shift below you on the pillow as you try to distract your nerves from becoming too much to handle, unknowingly avertingnur gaze.
With a snap of his fingers he regains your attention. Leaning down he places a festher-light kiss to your plush lips. "Talk to me sweetheart." He said, his tone slightly softer, but you could still hear the authority behind his words which made you shiver in anticipation.
"Not sure if I can do it." You murmured quietly. You had worried about having your first time in general but now? Seeing the length, the girth. Knowing how much it must hurt to stretch that far. You were intimidated to say the least.
He huffed out a soft laugh. "You can. I'll guide you through and we'll go gentle at first." The promise in his words had your heart melting. You knew you loved this man and you trusted him, so all you had to do was trust him one more time. "O-okay. Going slow. Got it." You replied, more so to yourself than to him.
He smiled as he watched you near his lengths with your mouth slightly agape. Hesitantly, you licked your lips before putting the tip of the first cock in your mouth. Just the tip was wide enough to have you open your mouth more than you had anticipated. A grunt sounded from above, making you look up at Zhongli to see his amber eyes... glowing?
Just as you were about to pull off to ask about his condition he suddenly spoke. "Fuck that feels so good. Think you can take me back a bit more baby girl?" You still wanted to ask but seeing the need written on his face made you quickly decide to hold off. After a quick breath through your nose you leaned forward a bit further, taking more of him into your mouth. Your gaze fell to his body as you saw what you were doing to him.
As pleasure consumed the former Archon, his arms turned black while his veins glowed a vibrant gold. The tips of his chocolate brown hair began to glow a soft orange hue as you saw his trimmed claws get slightly longer. Seeing the effect you had on him only empowered your actions, giving you a sense of pride as you began to lightly suck on the thick appendage the laid upon your tongue.
His hand raked through your hair as a growl rumbled through his chest. "Such a good girl- taking that cock." Your eyes roamed back up to his fave to see his pupils had turned to slits. His sharpened features had you rubbing your thighs together in need as you began to feel wet. "Can you take more? Just a little more? For me." He asked, his velvety smooth voice had you leaking as your tongue licked over a particularly thick vein it had found as you slid further down his shaft, causing his head to fall back with a loud moan.
His second cock was now in your face as you suckled on the first. Feeling a bit bad for ignoring the poor thing for so long you reached up to thumb at the tip. A sharp gasp had you looking up to see him arching his back with his head on the back of the couch. "Oh, oh my- Such a good girl." He praised.
He took your freehand and sat it upon his thigh as he held it while he smiled down at you, his fangs on full display for his special girl. "Look at you, making Daddy feel good like this." At that, you gagged and made him moan. "Oh? Was that a gag? Did I cause that?" He asked in a teasing tone.
Averting your gaze you focused back on his second cock as you smeared his precum around the tip. "Hey, good girls don't ignore their Daddy." He said as he made you look at him by lightly pulling at your hair, making ue softly whine. "You like that don't you?" Not able to pull away you huffed on his cock and sucked a bit harder which had him releasing your hair and squeasing your hand. "Oh yes you do!"
After you had gotten used to his length you began to bob your head and pump your small fist around him. His jaw dropped as his eyes rolled. You would be smirking with pride if your mouth wasn't full at the moment.
Your panties were soaked as was the pillow below you, and you knew he was close from how his thighs tensed. Tightening your grip on his second length you stroked him quickly and after a few swift pumps, you were gulping down dragon cum while more spilled over his abdomen.
You dropped your hands to your lap but your head remained in place as he came down your throat, the warm, white liquid stopping after a moment. Once his orgasm was finished you gave him one final suck before pulling away with a heavy pant. Getting proper breaths of air for the first time in minutes you took slow breaths with a prideful grin, you just made a dragon cum. Correction- you just made your dragon cum!
After he caught his breath, Zhongli sat up to look at you. "Hah- You ready?" He asked with a devilish grin. "Ready? I just finished?" You said confused. He only laughed
"You had me finish, now it's my turn." He growled out, sounding nearly feral as he leaned down from the couch and pinned you to the floor.
His forked tongue slithered over your collarbone and up your neck before delving into your mouth. You moaned softly as his teeth nipped at your lips whilst he explored your wet cavern. He was rough yet gentle and his actions have you writhing beneath him.
"Shh, patient. You'll get what you want soon enough." He soothed as his hand snaked down your body to pull off your drenched panties. His fingers slid over your folds, gathering your arousal before he found your clit. "Looks like someone's excited, hm?" He hummed into your ear lowly, resulting in a soft moan from you. He toyed with your clit, pinching, pulling, circling it with his claws, anything that had you arching your back.
Pressing a finger into your tight entrance, he began to thrust his digit in and out of you repeatedly. A lewd squelching sound resonating in the air as he adds another clawed finger overtime, stretching your dampened hole to take him. "Feeling good down there?" He asks? A teasing lilt to his voice. You can only nod, not trusting your voice.
Slowly he drags his fingers over your g-spot and pulls them from your core. A wet 'pop' sounding through the room. He takes the slick arousal from your leaking pussy and smears it along his cocks, sticking himself up before pressing both his tips to your core.
"Daddys little girl ready to take him?" He asks. You knew the question however, was rhetorical, as he already began pushing both lengths into your waiting hole, making you cry in ecstasy. "Oh my- Daddy!"
Your head fell back, expecting to be met with the hard floor but instead was met with the soft pads of your lovers fingertips. "That's it baby, let go." He sweetly cooed as he continued to push into your small hole.
Panting, you felt the wood peeling as your nails scratched at it. You felt as if he was trying to rip you in two in the most pleasurable way possible. It wasn't until you felt him stop moving did you breathe somewhat normally again. His tips were pressed against your cervix, hitting the deepest parts of your pussy and filling you full.
Without warning he began rutting into you. Thrusting into your small body as his clawed hands gripped your hips and kept them firmly held against the floor. His eyes were slides and his tongue was out. He looked like he wasn't even there anymore!
Despite your minor concerns for what was happening, you couldn't do a thing. Moans and gasps slipped from your lips as his twin cocks pummeled your insides without mercy.
♡▪︎•◇•▪︎♡▪︎•◇•▪︎♡▪︎•◇•▪︎♡▪︎•◇•▪︎♡▪︎•◇•▪︎♡
You laid on the floor panting as you came for the nth time that night. Zhongli was blissed out of his mind at the moment, his eyes were rolled back as he laid his head upon your chest. Everything was so peaceful despite the feeling of the pulsing in your core from his cocks still being buried balls deep inside you. But at the moment, you didn't care.
Everything was warm, you were content, and the moment he woke up- you knew you would be getting the best aftercare knowing to dragonkind.
This was a request but to anyone else who got this far. I hope you enjoyed it you fellow sluts <3

Can we have some of ur mouthwashing headcanons for the tulpar crew? (Can be about anything btw) The brain worms are getting hungry again I fear… 😞
-ig ill be 🪷 anon if it’s not taken yet?
HELLOOO BABYYYY sorry this took so long i was dying bc of my finals </3 but anyways welcome 🪷 anon to the family!!!!!! these hcs ended up so unserious LOL
the crew got banned from playing uno after anya nearly flipped the table when daisuke put down like five +4 cards in a row now they just stick to sorry!
swansea hums to himself when he's working, it's usually like old songs but recently daisuke's pop songs have been getting stuck in his head. (i think it would be unbelievably funny if swansea starts singing like the brainrot versions of songs js bc daisuke keeps playing them. yk like the 'oh the weather outside is rizzy, and the fire is so skibidi' LMAOSKJDSK
daisuke doesn't really have a specific music taste, he listens to a mix of everything. doesn't know how to answer when people ask him what his fave genre is so he tries to act cool and says he only listens to rap music.
anya had a wattpad phase. i can't explain further i can just FEEL it.
curly is actually a decent dancer. his mom sent him for dance classes as a kid and he has a good sense of rhythm. jimmy makes fun of him for this though so he doesn't ever mention it.
jimmy has rewatched american psycho probably more than 117 times. he watches it and he's like:
Tumblr media
(i am currently watching + reading it for the first time and patrick bateman is literally jimmy to me.) more content utc!
anya is terrible in the kitchen. like seriously do Not let her in there or the house will burn down just from her boiling water or smth. it's okay tho i will be her housewife <3 (i can't cook either) she is also very good at tetris for some reason. she's a little forgetful so she usually writes things that she needs to remember on the back of her hands but by the end of the day they're all smudged smh. but also she always has perfect nails!
curly is one of those guys who's just naturally good at things. yk when people are like 'oh yeah i never practice' and it pisses you off? he's one of those guys. ik ppl say he's british but he's so american to me??? he was definitely the jock in highschool that every girl crushed on but he never even realised.
swansea is a dog person. he's chill w cats but he definitely prefers dogs. he likes how loyal they are, and i can see him having a massive dog like a st bernard at home waiting for him. but if his kids ever brought back a kitten or smth he'd be the one to be all 'you guys better take care of it bc i won't' but then you see him becoming besties with the cat LOL.
daisuke LOVES the beach. literally a water baby. he's very good at surfing, and always ends up with a tan that makes him look even more handsome bc it compliments his dyed hair so nicely. i think that he grew up in a big family w lots of cousins around where he would be one of the older kids, so he's very good w children as well. he somehow knows the best way to entertain them and keep them out of trouble. (primary school art teacher daisuke are you guys seeing my vision?!?!?!)
jimmy gets nightmares and thus has difficulty sleeping. he lies whenever curly asks him about it but those dark circles say otherwise. this might be random but i also think he's good at singing. in another world he could have been a sleazy rockstar but instead he went to space. are u guys seeing the visual of jimmy laying back in bed strumming his banged-up electric guitar... i hate this mf.
anyways that's all for now! i had a lot of fun w these hehe <3 hope you liked them!

how seventeen react to their s/o falling asleep during pillow talk
requested by anon : "hii how do you think svt would react if you were talking in bed cuddling before sleeping and (pillow talk one of my fave things ever omg) and they were rambling and suddenly they look at you and you're asleep?"
notes: haha this one really is so adorable
masterlist
Tumblr media
seungcheol
he's in the middle of trying to give you tips on how to get through a tiring day bc you'd told him you've been having an exhausting week, but when he looks over at you while talking about conversation tactics he sees you've fallen asleep on his shoulder, snuffling quietly in your sleep. he just smiles, soft, putting an arm around you and adjusting you so that you're in a more comfortable position, kissing you on the forehead goodnight
jeonghan
definitely wakes you up. not in a 'startling you awake' kind of way, tho. he just shakes your shoulder gently, whispering that you fell asleep while he was telling you how much he loves him. laughs softly when you murmur blurrily that you didn't mean to, and just kisses your forehead and tells you that it's okay, that he loves you anyway, that he's always going to love you no matter what
joshua
doesn't wake you up, but pretends that he is. pinches your cheek, brushes the hair out of your face, smiling down at your relaxed expression. whispers scoldings to you for falling asleep while he's talking—he's not that boring, you brat—before snuggling next to you and closing his eyes, drifting off to sleep too, the 'i love you' on his tongue and whispered in his dreams
junhui
carries on talking. if he talks for long enough then his voice and what he's saying can enter your brain and it'll influence your dreams right?? he doesn't exactly know the logistics of that, but if he holds you in his arms and keeps talking mindlessly about the random things you did today that made him smile, then hopefully he can make you smile in your dreams too
hoshi
is whispering all "hey >:((( you fell asleep >:(((" even though you literally are, like, asleep. like he said. rambles about how heartbroken he is, bc literally he's here talking about how incredible his day was and now you're asleep??? drifts off with you sleeping on his shoulder and blurred words of "i just really love you okay" on his lips
wonwoo
he's been watching you the entire time, of course he saw when your eyes started drooping and you fell asleep next to him. just smiles and gently gathers you in his arms, closing his eyes against you and preparing to fall asleep too. it's not like you both were talking about anything that important, anyway. 
woozi
he wanted you to fall asleep tbh. he came back from work really late and was surprised to find you up, waiting for him. talked to you quietly for a few minutes, but after a moment passes where his question hangs in the air unanswered, he knows you've drifted off. some part of him is touched you stayed up when it's obvious you were so tired, and the other part is exasperated that you stayed up when it's obvious you were so tired
minghao
he's explaining some new philosophical idea he learned that day when he feels your breathing slow beside him, no longer humming in acknowledgement when he pauses. he doesn't say anything about it, just letting his voice peter out naturally, his hand finding your cheek in the darkness to rub a thumb over your cheekbone, soft and fond, making a mental note to tell you about the theory of solipsism later
mingyu
probably falls asleep before you tbh. one minute he's spooning you and telling you about his day, and the next minute, he pauses to take a breath and then suddenly lets out a quiet snore. it makes you laugh, a little, at how suddenly he fell asleep, but you just close your eyes too, his gentle snuffles warm on your neck, his arm a comforting weight over your waist. 
dokyeom
pouts to himself, bc he's not that boring is he??? kisses your forehead and promises himself that he's going to sulk and whine the next morning but you wake him up with such a lovely smile saying that you're sorry for falling asleep on him last night :((( and it's so sweet that instantly all thoughts of pouting and whining are out of the window as he just squishes you into a hug
seungkwan
listening to seungkwan talk is just so… relaxing, actually, so it's happened a lot while you're in bed after a long day and he tells you in a soft voice about everything that's happened. he holds you on his chest, arm around your shoulders, and pillow talk with him is basically just him talking you to sleep more than anything else
vernon
hansol is probably the type of guy who wants to hear about your day rather than rambling about his, so you end up falling asleep on him while telling him about the weird thing that your friend did today. your voice gets drowsier, taking longer to continue after you pause, so he just laughs softly and gathers you in his arms, telling you it's okay and you can tell him later, but now it's probably a good idea to go to sleep
chan
notices it the second that you're no longer making little humming noises whenever he takes a break in the middle of what he's saying. looks over to see you, head half buried in the blankets, in deep sleep and just sighs fondly. strokes the hair out of your face, goes "what am i going to do with you?" all sweet and adoring before settling into bed himself, whispering "sweet dreams" before he closes his eyes

Thinking about Restoration AU (again). What POV would you like to write/or are you just interested in? Well, besides Cersei :D Even for the time of the first book, she can't be called sane. Maybe Jamie? Like you said, in the first book he wasn't in the mood for redemption, but here he meets the ghost of the man he was loyal to and whom he feels he has failed (I tend to think that Rhaegar just didn't want to take a 16 year old boy to battle, so he gave him an important "assignment").
Or maybe Robert's POV during the meeting with the twins? We know that Ned is mentally praying at this time, while Robert may not remember Rhaegar's facial features and his reaction is: ho ho our noble Ned is just a man too, we're not so different.
Or Catelyn? I don't share the fandom's hatred of her, but it would be very interesting to see her thoughts, especially how she tries to recreate the image of a "rival" to Rhaegar: his looks, charming singing, soft demeanor.
Personally, I'm probably most interested in seeing Darmon and Daenerys' POV. With Darmon, it will be both painful and fun - painful because he finds himself in a world where his children aren't around him, dragons are extinct, and the Targaryens have fallen (the story of Rhaegar's death might cause a sudden painful flashback). But watching him terrorize first the people of the valley and then Volantis, who have no idea where the hell the dragon came from or what children this madman is talking about (they're already willing to give him their children just to get rid of him) would be fun.
And for Daenerys I'm just happy, she'll probably be a little scared of Darmon at first (he's a little crazy during their first meeting) but then she'll appreciate him: the fact that there's finally an older family member protecting her from Viserys, and his dragon, and the way he treats her gently (she'll 100% remind Daemon of Rhaegar, only a girl). Or Viserys? In terms of insanity it should be something close to Cersei in the last few books.
Would love to see your thoughts. By the way, have you decided whose POV will be next?
Hmm, it's less for me about POVs and more about certain story events, other than the aforementioned Cersei POV. Like, the Robert meeting the twins is an obvious one, but I don't think I'll write Robert's POV. For that, I'm leaning toward Ned's, especially because he'll get to see little!Jon/Willam staring absolute daggers at Robert, both as in the I HATE YOU sense and the DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY LITTLE BROTHER-DAD sense, but Ned will likely interpret it as "you killed our older brother! 😡" Whereas Rhaegar/Raymar is deer-in-headlights "if I don't move he won't see me" mode.
(Oh, or could THAT be our first Cersei POV? Ehh, I still think Ned, but I can absolutely see Cersei being huffy about Robert going to greet Ned's bastards after he meetings the trueborn ones, viewing it as him rubbing his adultery in her fave, and then she catches a glimpse of Rhaegar and goes why hello yes target acquired ned stark's bastards you say?
Goodness, I hadn't thought about Rhaegar becoming the symbol of the boys' mother to Cat, but he probably would, wouldn't he? Jon and Willam remind her enough of Ned, but she's staring at this dainty-looking child with the long braid, imagining the woman's silver-blond hair and beautiful eyes and quiet demeanor. Did she sing? Is that what drew Ned to her?
Okay, I may have to steal the "Volantis just starts flinging Valyrian-looking children at Daemon in a bid to appease him" bit for Daemon's reign of terror across Essos. 😂 They just round up every child that looks the least bit like him, and even throw in some dark-haired, grey-eyed ones like the other child he mentioned. Daemon is all "wtf am I supposed to do with these?" and they're all "feed them to your dragon if they aren't what you want, please just leave us alone."
I think Dany and Daemon's first meeting will definitely be a Dany POV, so I suppose that's one I'm looking forward to! I still haven't decided the exact timing there. Canonically per the book, her wedding to Drogo has already occurred by now, so either I shift the time so that Daemon can dramatically prevent it, or he rocks up on the Dothraki and starts burning until they give him his kin.
I have not yet decided which POV is next, though that's up after Knight of Stars pt2. (Assuming I don't get sucked into the "Rhaella gets summerhalled" AU I'm very tempted to write first. And we still need the wintery hot springs prompt fill! Lots to write this week.)

Oml YOUR AZUTARA HC GAVE ME LIFFEEE
Personally, I love to think that Azula has an utter fascination with Kataras blood bending - like it illustrates her lover in such a darker light, smth that can be azulas mirror image. That she’s not alone in her darkness, and there is no shame in that, coz what matters is what you do with that darkness. Idk. I just think it could be healing.
I also love to picture Azula as sorta an androgynous legend,,,,,,do u see the vision (and yes I recently consumed et tu brute, which if you haven’t read, I would highly HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend)
I beg you for more??!!?!??!
(Also I love LOVE how you draw Azula it’s honestly one of my fave depictions)
I'm so sorry for the extremely late response on this lovely but thank you so incredibly much! I'm really glad so many of you liked the headcanons! I've had a couple months to think up some more so there will be additional ones that I'll be posting soon :)
Okay first of all yes. I actually think about this all the time. I think she'd be fascinated not only by the fact that bloodbending is extremely powerful, but because like you said, it would reflect something inside Azula herself too. This twisted, morally grey, morbidly beautiful overlap of power and choice kind of merging together. Like, here's Katara, this moral beacon of goodness and purity and everything Azula isn't, who is also choosing to use this terrifying and invasive form of bending.
Azula already thinks of herself as an inherently evil person, calls herself a monster and projects fiercely because of it, because she doesn't want to be evil, but at the same time she thinks it's an ingrained, unchangeable truth. Seeing Katara bloodbend would make her realize that she's not actually an outlier among Zuko's "perfect" friends, because Katara has that darkness in her too. And if Katara can live with the "bad" parts, maybe Azula can too.
Also yes I definitely see the vision. It's canon that she can do calisthenics so she should be pretty muscular or at least quite toned, but I think the showrunners wanted to make her small to emphasize that she's still just a child fighting a war. Still, I've always thought she should have a physique similar to Korra's. Katara would definitely love it either way, whether she's presenting as more masculine or feminine (or somewhere in the middle). Azula in silk robes with her hair down? Yes. Azula with her hair cropped up, and in a sleeveless training shirt that shows off her arm muscles? Oh she's salivating
I have not had a chance to read Et Tu Brute but I've heard wonderful things about it and remember seeing a bunch of updates in the Azutara tag when the last chapter got posted haha. It's on my to-read list once I find the time! And thank you so much, I'm beyond flattered that my Azula depictions land with you. Means a lot because I feel like my style is pretty inconsistent haha
More headcanons to come soon :)

𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐒 — 𝐋𝐄𝐄 𝐗 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑
a short little lee fic because he’s my fave <3
CW: smoking, late night talks, stargazing, gender neautral reader, not proofread so pls ignore any spelling mistakes, can be read as platonic
word count: 478
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
It’s dark when you wake up. The truck bed is cold and hard under your back, the thin blanket doing little to ward off the wind as it rushes through the trees around you. You roll over onto your side—hoping a change in position will help you fall back asleep—and notice Lee is gone. Panicked, you sit up, looking around for any sign of his dyed hair in the dark of the camp site.
Your panic subsides slightly when you notice a familiar figure sitting a few feet away, the soft glow of a fire from his lighter surrounding him.
“It’s late.” You say in lieu of a greeting, sitting down next to him. Lee doesn’t startle at your presence or words, simply shrugging in response and blowing out a puff of smoke.
You don’t say anything else, still tired despite the momentary panic you had. You let your gaze drift away from Lee and to the stars above you. Out here, away from the city, they glisten like water droplets in the sun. Though of course there is no sun, only stars and vast darkness.
“That’s the big dipper.” Lee’s voice cut through your thoughts and you look over at him in surprise. Despite having been travelling together for a few weeks now, he had barely spoken to you. You didn’t push even though you were extremely curious. Everyone had their things, secrets just seemed to be one of his.
Lee must have noticed your surprise because a small crooked grin crossed his face before he lifted the cigarette back to his lips. “Right there.” He said, pointing up with his free hand.
You follow his gesture and stared up at the sky, looking for the constellation. The stars all seemed to melt together, making it hard to find the specific shape—that or your half asleep mind was to blame.
“You know a lot of constellations?” You ask, gaze still fixed upwards.
You could see him shrug out of the corner of your eye as he spoke. “Not really, but everyone knows the big dipper right?”
You let a small laugh escape you even though the joke wasn’t particularly funny. “Yeah.”
The silence that falls after isn’t uncomfortable. You and Lee haven’t talked much at all during your journey, but it’s never been awkward or uncomfortable. His presence is warm, there and noticeable, but something you’ve come to enjoy. When you reach your destination you’ll part ways, you know you will, but even so the idea of it makes you feel a little sad. These past few weeks with Lee have felt like a dream, and you can feel yourself getting closer to its end.
“We’ll start to Nebraska tomorrow.” He says, breaking the silence. His cigarette is gone now, the only piece of light flicked away, leaving you with darkness and the water droplet stars.
“Okay.”

"Jackson's in Got7?" anon here. Cause I watched python, sometimes they show up on my youtube shorts. Well, I watched a video of people saying their favourite song of the band - with a cut of the music video of the song. And I can just say I had so many jpop flashbacks from the late 90s, early 00s. Their hair! Their clothes! How scrawny they are!! xD If you're bored, how about a quest? Would you be so kind as to find maybe your favourite gifs/looks/videos of Got7 from them early on? Hope that helps your boredom!!
Welcome back 'Jackson's in GOT7?' Anon! This ask will DEF help with my boredom. I'm not sure how far back is considered early on for them but I'm gonna try.
Right before their very first comeback, GOT7 released a couple of dance practices for their B-Side song 'I Like You' and they are filled with CHAOS! Everyone looks so incredibly young and they are laughing and playing throughout the practices and just having a good time. Also you can always hear their shoes squeaking on the floor and Youngjae singing over the track because his vocals are so powerful. This was in 2014 which was their debut year.
youtube
Stop Stop It Era. Most of GOT7 HATED this era because of the bad haircuts...BamBam and Jackson's haircuts were terrible NGL, but Jinyoung's emo boy bang, Youngjae's Blonde hair, and Yugyeom's pink hair really hit for me. Not to mention the styling with the 3 different sets of overalls gave 90s boy band which I loved! Also there is a point in the choreography that Jackson kept messing up and everyone clowned him for it. It really wasn't even that bad, he kept getting his leg placement mixed up. This was also in 2014.
Tumblr media
If You Do Era was GOT7's first "dark bad boy" era. The styling for the members was very much punk rock and pop (lots of leather, skinny jeans, black, and printed t-shirts). It was a phenomenal era and the MV was fire and we were gifted some incredible footwork in the choreography. It was essentially them shedding their cute boy image and showing their manly sides instead. At least that's what they said lol. This was in 2015.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Umm Just Right Era was a Pretty Fun and cutesy era. It was most memorable for me because it was so vibrant and that was around the time BamBam's voice dropped and he had us all SHOOKETH! We couldn't believe it was the same kid. Also they really all seemed to enjoy that era and the message behind Just Right. This was also in 2015.
Tumblr media
The Flight Log Trilogy was actually a fun time because we got 3 albums with some storyline and lore. There was a ton of imagery in the MVs and we really had a grand time breaking everything down. The title tracks were bops and we did get some good styling from the concepts. Departure and Turbulence released in 2016 and Arrival was 2017.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We also got this really cute video of them trying to sing Never Ever live while also trying to decorate a cake. They were WAY more interested in the cake decorating than the singing.
youtube
I have no idea when we started getting their little video interviews called Got2Day but I know it was old because Jinyoung was still being called Junior in some of them (OK the video is from 2016). But this one Jinyoung did with Mark was my fave. He was talking about how Mark was acting like such a gangster that day and he kept calling him an LA Gangster which is hilarious because Mark forreal used to get in hella fights when he was a trainee.
youtube
Okay this is starting to get super long so here are a few other styling eras I loved from GOT7.
Teenager/7 for 7 Era. 2017. One of their best eras and the album had NO SKIPS. I think this era was the era where they got creative control. They wrote and produced most if not all of the songs.
Tumblr media
Aura and Not By the Moon/DYE Era. 2020. This was their most classically aesthetic era. Loved, loved the styling! Everyone looked like princes and I loved Jay B's long hair and BamBam's pixie cut.
youtube
Tumblr media
Look/Eyes on You Era. 2018. 10/10. LOOK AT THEM! MY LOVES!
Tumblr media
Adidas Lullaby Performance Video/Present: YOU Era. 2018. This particular performance video was just chef's kiss. Loved the way Adidas styled them and the whole black and white vibe was so clean. They also have an adidas performance video for Look.
youtube
Thursday/Call My Name Era. 2019. Thursday is like one of my TOP 10 GOT7 songs and this Studio Choom performance was the cutest ish ever. They all had on their boyfriend-iest outfits and they had so much fun this era.
Tumblr media
OH WAIT Let me Include their HORRENDOUS teasers for their first comeback 'A'! Jinyoung was just recreating all of these a couple weeks ago when Python Promos began. They'd all like to forget it but they can't and I won't let them. This is from 2014.
WAIT ONE MORE THING! THE POSTER FOR THEIR KDRAMA CALLED DREAM KNIGHT! IT CAME OUT FOREVER AGO! in like 2015!
Tumblr media
Okay now I'm done! Okay as you can see I can go on and on and on about them lol. This has truly been fun.

Steph my love my heart, do you have any lists of them being obsessed about each other immediately? I just read a fandom fave where they’re both surfers and I mean THAT kind of connection, not exactly a soulmate AU but when they fall immediately for each other :))
Hi Nonny!!
AAAAHHHH you're so sweet, I always feel special when I get called pet names <3 :3 Thank you!
First the fic you suggested:
Gimme Shelter by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John (E, 159,368 w., 21 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || 70′s Surfer AU || Period Typical Homophobia, Hawaii, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Professional Surfers, Gay John / Sherlock, Angst with Happy Ending, John was a Sailor, Misunderstandings, Mutual Pining) – All John Watson wants is the feeling of a freshly waxed surfboard under his feet and the hot California sun baking down onto his back. To finally go pro in the newly formed world of professional surfing and leave the dark memories of his past behind him as he rips across the face of a towering blue barrel. To lounge beside the beach bonfire every evening with an ice cold beer tucked into the cool sand beside him and listen to Pink Floyd and the Doors while the saltwater dries in his sun bleached hair. That's all he wants, that is, until the hot young phenom taking Oahu and the Hawaiian shores by storm steps up next to him in the sand in the second round of the 1976 International Surf Competition. (PUBLISHED AS ‘The Sea Ain’t Mine Alone’)

No Knock Raid Part 2
I kinda have an obsession with mafia!141 and it's my fave dark romance trope
Pairing: John Price / Reader
No mention of name or description of reader
About this: The after affects of SWAT performing a no knock raid on the reader's and John's home.
Sitting down in the car , not even bothering to buckle up and start to cry silently. You understand what your husband does, you know that this was life before you and provides for your family, hell you work for one of the businesses you just didn’t think would affect your kids life , have them forever traumatized because of something we did. 
“Love” ,John says tenderly. 
“Please, just drive” , You want to see your kids , see if they are okay. To apologize for of course all the issues that you caused them for this one night. 
“We should talk about th-”. You cut John off , “There is nothing to talk about , get me home to my kids”. He sighs and shakes his head , he is worried about you. Your skin has a sickly sheen over it , your hair looks greasy but like you keep messing with it and your fingernails look like you chewed them off. 
Once you arrive home , the children run up to you, they just seem really tired and just want to snuggle up to you and be under you. They ask if they can sleep with you and you say “of course”. John is holding the youngest baby , hugging him close. You thank your sister for watching your children and send her on her way. 
The kids fall asleep quickly, at least one body part is touching you and John. You can’t sleep so you just stare at John who is assessing you. 
“I was on my way home,when I got the alert”,John says.
“They pointed guns in our children's face” You whisper. 
He pressing his lips so tight they almost disappear under his mustache, “ I know sweetheart, I’m going to fix this”
“But how, they are going to remember this night forever, and I can’t fix that”. You turn you head away from him, letting the tears run down your face. You feel a lot of mom guilt for being a working mom already, you work 40 hours a week and with this on top of it you don’t know how you are going to survive this. You don’t think that John can make this better , he can’t go inside your head and scrub that portion of your brain no matter how much you want too. He grabs your hand. He growls , “ You did everything,right. You hear me?”. You nod head, you don’t really agree but you logically know you couldn’t have done anything different, but that doesn’t feel like you couldn’t have.   
“I just want to go to sleep now, please. We have to talk about this in the morning with the kids present”. You did not want to be the type of parents that sweep everything under the bed, especially with something as heavy as this.

No. 2 - Aostrolf's Weed (NSFW/18+)
“Is this okay?” she took the care to ask him, almost sweetly. Something a little self-conscious and worried in the look she gave him. “This is still okay?”
Maker. It’s better than okay. It’s a wanting more edged and hot than he has ever known, a pleasure so deep he might lose himself in it. It’s too good; it isn’t right at all. He knows that no matter what promises he has made, he is going to be imagining her like this for the rest of his life: beautiful thighs spread on either side of his hips, flush of arousal across her chest, pert breasts, his cock in her hand—ready, he can only assume, to ride him raw because he did not fuck her hard and fast enough the first time, as she had been asking him to. 
He is tongue-tied, too thick with need to answer with words. But his hands found her hips and guided her downwards, both of their groans echoing off the walls of the Necropolis as she sank around him, taking him fully inside of her in one slow, steady, deliberate press.
The pleasure is staggeringly total: his toes curl; his back arches off the floor; his hips drive up to meet hers. His eyes rolled back as his eyelids squeezed shut, his jaw slack, mouth open wide to let loose a groan that is nothing short of obscene, loud enough to echo through the vast hall of the Necropolis without. 
And that’s just the feel of her—but the sight of her, look! The tension in her thighs and her core as she lifts herself only to seat herself fully around him again; the messy curls of dark hair spilling over her shoulders and around her face and the curled patch of dark hair between her legs; the bounce of her breasts with each of her thrusts. Strange, how it still feels a move too bold to touch her—but she has no reservations about touching him. When Agnes caught him staring, she smiled, bit her lip, did not quite bite back her moan of satisfaction; lifted her free hand to hold his face, her fingers brushing his cheek so reverently, so gently—far more gently than the force with which she rode him. When her thumb swiped low along the curve of his chin, Emmrich opened his mouth and captured it, gently but firmly, between his teeth.

I’m really proud of all the writing I did this year! So for the last ten days of 2024 I’m going to be reblogging my 10 favorite pieces that I wrote.
I think this is the longest single smut one-off I've ever written?? It got so out of hand??? It inspired a whole spin-off series I had 0 intention of writing???? And compared to other pieces it was so easy to write— a real joy.
The fic owes a lot to two other sex pollen fics I'd HIGHLY recommend—firstly, a Solas x Trevelyan one, which is mind-numbingly good and (I think??) can still only be found on the Kink Meme/LJ. It's so good I spent over an hour and $22 trying to find it in all those comments again just to rec it here, and it was worth every minute and penny. I was for sure heavily influenced by the absolute crash from erotic to devastating at the end. Not gonna put the author on blast since it was filled anonymously but if they are seeing this: this is one of MULTIPLE of your works I still think about years later and I hope you are thriving. And SECONDLY, oh my god, @bdafic's Solavellan sexpollen fic, Aphrodisia. YES IT'S UNFINISHED, I DON'T CARE, GO READ IT ANYWAY. I am sometimes literally just doing things around my house like, walking my dog, or washing my dishes, and the reveal in this fic hits me over the head AGAIN and I have a little chuckle at Solas' expense thinking of him hiding his embarrassed, red face in his hands… and then I just stare into space like, wow. wow. Incredible. 13/10. I won't spoil it for you, but it's so hot, and so funny. Multiple outloud belly laughs reading it. Incredible Dorian and Varric banter at the top. And @bdafic's Ellana is one of my fave quizzies. I never would have put all that work into Aostrolf Van Markham if I hadn't been inspired by the absolutely insane world building this fic spoils the reader with. START YOUR 2025 OUT RIGHT! RUN DON'T WALK!!
