Cute date idea: crash and ruin the concert your boy toy ditched you for 🥰

I want to ramble about Homelander in bed. 

Blah blah "Homelander is a sub!", "NO, he's a Daddy Dom!", "No, he's!" He's whatever you want to fap to, who the fuck cares

He's none of the above. I don't think any D/s dynamic roles encapsule Homelander, not even Switching. (It's not his scene, bondage is a waste of time, this collar look stupid, don't call me that, that's weird...)

He's simply not into sticking to any set kink dynamics. (The vibes are off, fam. He'd be the vanilla boy within the BDSM dungeon. Confused and bemused.)

He doesn't have some innate desire to give up control to someone constantly, or to lead someone with a firm or gentle hand. Switching, yeah but he doesn't care enough to begin with. He's too insecure and uncertain of what he is as a person to even understand slipping into a role in the bedroom. Too volatile and what he wants and needs switches depending on his mood and/or partner.

What he is, is a starving man and his partner is the feast.

Poor idiot doesn't even know how to do intimacy properly and has gotten all of his sexual education from someone grooming him, someone paired with him for publicity, and porn.

The dude is lost. What he in bed I feel like boils down to three specific things:

Sadistic - He's a bully, he's mean, he likes watching others suffer in some form or another. (Giving pain play, orgasm denial, edging, forced orgasm, overstimulation)

GGG - Good, game, giving. He'll try anything and be up for whatever as long as his partner is into it. The dude can't be harmed in conventional ways, what's he got to fear?

Attention whore - Craves positive attention in any form (wanting to please his partner, praise kink to the MAX, receiving worship play, demanding attention, bratting, pestering and teasing, topping from the bottom)

-and then how those three things manifest depends wholly on his partner.

With Madelyn Stillwell, he wanted to be her good boy. He craved her praise and affection and he was restrained because she wanted him to be. He's a brat, he's petulent. He's needy. He's picking a fight with a toddler. She's his Mommy Dommy. I suspect she denied and teased Homelander endlessly and he took whatever scraps she gave him because he was starving for it.

With Maeve, they would have been two equals that he was horrifically territorial of. She was his and he had no issues broadcasting that to the world while emotionally intimidating her, but never getting physical. No, she's a god just like him. You can't hurt gods so why would he try?

With Stormfront, she encouraged all of his bad behavior, so Homelander was reckless and hungry. Break shit and fuck like animals, push and pull and playing with their combined strength. They're primal and at war and it's fun.

Soyeah, Homelander is going to fill whatever role suits his partner best. He's going to pay attention to what gets his partner off because he wants that positive response from them. It can be a good thing, or it can lead to the most toxic relationship possible. The man is fucked so it can go sideways fast. You're gonna need a strong constitution, a steel spine, and willpower to survive Homelander at the start else you'll get steamrolled and dropped by the plot like Becca AUGH.

Is it the fear mingled with arousal that gets them all hot and bothered like I imagine poor Hughie would feel with Homelander? Fuck, he's going to exploit that. He's gonna make that twink jump in fright every chance he gets.

What about little Starlight getting a spine and trying to play his game? Yeah, he's going to push those buttons and show her how good he can actually be for her. The gnawing need for the praise from the girl next door would eat him alive.

With Butcher? Scorched earth, baby. They're going to destroy each other in the most toxic, hate-fuck filled fest. Just tearing chunks out of each other to show the other that they can still feel. Raw and painful.

Until Homelander actually figures out who he is without his powers, status, or fame? He's going to play whatever role his partner needs, be that god, perfect gentleman, monster, or sweet boy. Then again, he's all of that and then some at once. He'll want to devour his partner in one moment, consume them wholly and just taketakeTAKE and the next he wants the intimacy that comes with being inside them/them inside him and he's so so so soft and gentle and reverent when he strokes them, and then he's a bastard who wants to twist the knife and make them beg and cry and scream and just tell him what to do, he'd do anything just to know he's loved.

-and anyway, this man is broken and the perfect putty for anyone to mold sexually consciously or subconsciously.

Not a Dom, not a sub, or a switch, but a chameleon.

His side profile... GODRIC'S HEART.

[rosenecklaces]

There's genuinely no way Rhys didn't at least suspect, like this people walk around in his house and one works for/with him. He's just been a bitch about it on the BC lol

[ficyorick]

godddd i lvoe to write butcher and kessler fighting each other, it looks so dramatic in text but i imagine from outside perspective its just like that scene in fight club when the narrator just beats the shit out of himself in front of his boss

I think the reason gman is so inconsistent throughout the half life series is because he suffers from the same problems artists do when trying to draw their oc multiple times.

*POP!*

Erm… yeah, so, Snowflake has to admit—couldn’t quite help you with that yapper yesterday. House-elf magic is complicated, you know... Especially when it comes to emojis...

*snaps fingers, altering the enchantment, now those earphones play Blink-182 songs*

✨🎶"I fell in love with the girl at the rock show. / She said, 'What?' and I told her that I didn't know..."🎶✨

Alright! Snowflake overheard some S.P.E.W. activists talking about holidays for elves after Christmas (which sounds terrifying, honestly, because Snowflake… has no idea how to do holiday-ing?) So, Snowflake’s been asking around and was wondering—how about Miss Aura? Do you have any special Christmas holiday traditions? 👀 Maybe you cook something festive? Or visit certain people or places?

✨🎶"Have a holly jolly Christmas / It's the best time of the year..."🎶✨

Oh, why did it… does Miss Aura like Christmas songs?

*POP!'s away to get some urgent stuff done and let you think, so Christmas songs will stay for a while anyway*

I crack my eyes open to the sound of Tom Delonge singing Christmas carols. That's... weird. But at least the yapping has stopped — for now. 

Yawning, I roll over and let out an eep! of surprise. 

Aurélie Collins stands before me like a vision, a Goddess in haute couture, as beautiful as Aphrodite and twice as terrifying.

Sebastian is there too. I guess. 

"You look terrible," Aurélie tells me. 

Yes, thank you Aurélie, I am aware that I look like a wilderbeast in the mornings. Anyway, Christmas traditions. Do you have any? 

She looks at me like I've just uttered some disgusting swear word and I brace myself. 

Beside her, Sebastian shivers with excitement. 

Sebastian likes being scolded in French. 

Sebastian needs mental help. 

"I no longer have any," Aurélie sniffs, "since you decided to make me an orphan."

I shrink in my bed, but Sebastian leaps to my rescue. 

"That's alright," he says with an optimistic swing of his arm. "We can make new traditions! I have some suggestions, of course." 

With a flourish, he pulls out the enchanted scroll from the drawer I stuffed it in and clears his throat. 

"Step one," he declares. "Murder Solomon."

Crazy how I now own something special and kinda hard to get now :3

Context: Valve delisted Half-Life: Source from Steam, stating that the original GoldSrc version is the definitive edition. You can still purchase and play HL:S, but you can't search for it anymore.

[maeo-png]

the concept of TF2 being in the half-life/portal universe is actually a fantastic idea, because nobody will be able to explain how Russell, being kiwi, escapes an underwater New Zealand as a small child.

During Pilates just now I randomly started thinking about the possibilities of Neumanlander, that weird tongue of his, his nose pressed against her pubic bone, her nails in his hair, etc, and suddenly I went “wait. I want to do that.” And I had to lie down for a moment. Miss Neumann if you’re out there —

was thinking about posting the newest bits of hl&s for late wip day/last line but this scene of jessie checking john’s injuries somehow reads as more sexually explicit fucknasty than every actual sex scene i’ve ever written of them and idk how to content warn for that
