[riptide-if]

Hilo Kalua Mahoe [they/them, 22] has always been content to stay on the sidelines. As long as you've known Hilo (which is like, practically your whole life) they've never been much of a talker. Often as children you often had to do the talking for them. As a teen they shifted from silence to snark, unsympathetic and snide towards anyone they feel deserves it, though you remained one of the few who they remained gentle and friendly with. One person that got that former treatment was Lee— the entire time you two were dating. You could never quite understand why.

Hilo stands at 5'10 with a slim, willowy build. They have deep olive skin. Their face is oval shaped with a septum piercing; the ring always being gold. Their eyes are dark green. They have very long, wavy, black hair. Their hair falls just past their hips; sometimes in a braid or bun, but usually down with small braids littered throughout. Their usual clothing style is flowy and calm; earthy tones, long skirts, tank tops, ruffled tops, bell sleeve tops, sandals, flowy dresses, cardigans. They're never not seen wearing at least one piece of jewelry. They wear gold earrings in multiple places in their ears; sans industrial. In their ear lobes is a pair of orange bead earrings with a gold moon charm on the left ear and a gold star charm on the right ear. On their wrists are three braided friendship bracelets; one with orange and yellow string from Aria, one with orange and navy blue string from Arlo, and the final one being from MC. A gold infinity ring is on one of their fingers. Gold necklaces are layered on their neck. They have long almond shaped acrylics; colors and designs varying. A new moon tattoo is on their upper arm.

🔥 rudy or jj

my first ever smut. this is so bad and I'm cringing but it was kinda fun I guess???

word count: 438

SMUT!!!! SWEARING DUH!!!!

you stumbled into the spare room of the chateau, jj's hands firmly placed on your hips stopped you from tripping up. his lips never left yours as you fell backwards onto the bed, jj pulling away to rip his vest off his body. 

jj's lips attached themselves to your neck, sucking and biting, marking you as his. your fingers pulled at the strands of his hair as you moaned. you wrapped your legs around his hips, trying to relieve the ache between your thighs.

"look at my needy baby." jj smirked, as you grinded against him. 

you sat up a bit, pulling off your bikini top. jj practically pounced upon you, his mouth attaching to your nipple as you whined. god you really needed him.

"jj. don't." you moaned as he kissed down your stomach, biting lightly at your thighs.

jj stopped immediately, looking up at you. you moaned at the sight of his tugged hair and red and bitten lips.

"what's wrong,babygirl? are you okay?" 

you nodded, blushing about what you were going to say.

"yes. I just. I really…..fuck…. I need you to fuck me. I need you inside me right now." 

jj groaned. 

"fuck babygirl. okay." 

jj tugged his trunks down as you pulled down your bikini bottoms. 

jj reached over and grabbed a condom from the drawer and pulled it on. 

"ready baby?" 

"yes"

both of you moaned in unison as jj pushed into you. 

"fuck baby you're so tight." jj moaned

"move, please." 

jj set a hard but steady pace, pushing into with deep thrusts hitting your g spot continuously. 

"jj. baby. keep going. fuck." you tugged on jj's hair as he hoisted your leg up to hit a different angle into you. 

jj's head dropped so he was moaned directly into your ear.

"fuck baby I'm gonna cum." jj groaned. 

"me too." 

jj's hand made its way to your clit, flicking it with his thumb. 

"come on babygirl. let go for me." 

"fuck, jj." you screamed as you got your climax, jj following seconds after, moaning your name repeatedly like a sinful prayer.

"fuck babygirl. I love you so much." jj sighed as he tried to catch his breath. 

"I love you too baby." you whined as jj pulled out of you, taking the filled condom off. 

jj moved down your body so his head was level with your belly button.

"can I now?" jj asked as he kissed your abdomen. 

"can you what?"

"eat you out. your horny ass kinda rushed me." 

you moaned as your head fell back against the pillow. damn this man was gonna kill you.

BLURB

Nastasia Leokov has loved her brother’s best friend since the very moment she met him. Understanding that she’ll never be anything more to Viktor Nikulin than a treasure to guard, Nas sensibly hides her feelings. But when she makes a brash decision to kiss him, everything changes.

That kiss. That hot, explosive, all-consuming kiss.

It haunts Vik. And suddenly, Nastasia Leokov isn’t just a teenage mob princess.

No.

She is his. Undeniably. Indisputably.

An unbreakable connection. A hidden relationship. A lifetime of firsts.

And yet, something is missing.

Nas desperately craves the one thing Vik has never offered her.

His heart.

EXCERPT

I was tired. I was restless. I was irritated.

The trifecta of bitchiness.

So, when I saw him sitting at a table by himself, I stilled midstep, and my annoyance grew.

Seriously?

Why, God?

How dare he look so good when I could barely find matching shoes this morning.

He brought his espresso up to his lips as he read from the newspaper he held in his hands. I didn’t know why that got to me. Maybe because he looked so effortlessly relaxed, and my fragmented mind was being split in a flurry of puzzle pieces, none of which fit back into their original spaces.

My body rigid, my feet started moving, and they didn’t stop until I stood in front of him with a cold expression that could’ve set off the next big freeze. Before he even looked up at me, I hissed quietly, “This is my spot.”

Vik simply peered up at me with a furrowed brow. “No, it isn’t.”

Uh, excuse me? “Yes, it is. This is my spot. My café. You go get your own.”

And his grin had my heart racing with anger. “Firstly, I brought you here, so if we’re getting technical, you wouldn’t even know about this place if it weren’t for me.”

My neck flushed.

Oh, right. I’d forgotten about that.

Feeling stupid, I huffed out a short breath, threw up my hands, and said, “Fine. I’ll leave.”

As I turned to walk away, Vik’s hand shot out and gently but firmly circled my wrist. I twisted back to find his gaze had darkened some, and he uttered, “Stay.”

It wasn’t a plea nor a demand. I might’ve been delusional, but to my ears, it sounded like a wish.

My rigid stance loosened mildly.

Only one word out of his mouth, but I felt the caress of it all over.

I peered down at that hand. It held me firmly as his obsidian gaze locked me in. “I heard you’ve been spending time at Laredo’s. I know you’re smarter than to try to get the attention of a particular Frenchman, so I won’t warn you against it.” Those eyes sliced over the length of me. “You know better, don’t you, baby?”

Every fiber of my being screamed to sit and stay, but the insecure part of me told me to leave before we hurt each other. Against my better judgement, I sat opposite him, and because I often had trouble keeping my mouth shut, I said smugly, “Sounds like you might be jealous.”

The hand on my wrist flexed, and Vik held me down with his glacial gaze. “Wanna test that theory?”

My chest squeezed.

My ego was a petty bitch and hooted loudly, all for it. My heart thought nothing would be more romantic. But my brain, on the other hand, knew what Vik plus jealousy was capable of. And it wasn’t pretty.

Don’t get me wrong. I was never the target of his anger when he got like that. The men standing in his warpath, however, usually ended up with a split lip, a broken nose, or a concussion, or all three. And after it was all done and dusted, Vik would then take me home, take my mouth, and then take me roughly against the nearest surface, all while maintaining eye contact.

Ugh. It was so fucking hot.

The memory had my knees snapping together under that table, trying in vain to ignore the thrumming warmth that suddenly lit in my core.

Hmmm. Maybe we should test that theory after all.

No.

But—

Not a good idea.

My inner self pouted and called me a prude.

Not so smug anymore, I cleared my throat and asked, “What do you want from me, Vik?”

Refusing to let go, his thumb gently caressed the sensitive spot at my inner wrist, and without hesitation, he responded one word that shattered my resolve.

“Everything.”

The way he said it, with zero hesitation, had my heart aching. I wanted that too. If only the stakes were even. If only he had as much to lose as I did. My heart was on the line. I wasn’t sure if Vik even knew how to access his.

AUTHOR BIO

Belle Aurora is thirty-something year old and was born in the land down under. 

At an early age she fell in love with reading. Boredom one summer had her scouring the bookshelves at home. She stumbled across Sandra Brown’s Breath of Scandal and fell in love with romance.

Having been brought up in a loud and boisterous family of Croatian descent, she developed a natural love for dramatics and laughter. Only some years ago had she discovered a new love. 

Humorous romance novels.

So many authors had opened a brand new world where she could lose herself yet feel safe and at home in their stories. Belle has been known to become a screeching banshee while anxiously awaiting their newest titles.

Belle never thought she would write. It had never interested her until recently. Friend-Zoned began to form and in February this year Belle typed the words Chapter One. And she fell in love.

With words.

With writing.

With a creative imagination she never knew she harbored.

Belle Aurora is a USA Today best-selling author.

my first blurb on here was about jaemin and a brown sugar lip scrub, and i just ran into a post about jaemin claiming he eats brown sugar cubes when he's bored.... when a random thought practically becomes canon, this is just too funny, i can barely wrap my head around this being real rn. 😂😂 priceless

Lecce e Taranto in due epigrammi di Giuseppe Silos (1601-1674)

di Armando Polito

Prima di entrare nel vivo dell’argomento annunziato nel titolo sento il dovere di ringraziare per la segnalazione il signor Salvatore Fischetti  di Lizzano e non mi pare fuori luogo ricordare che Giuseppe Silos fu un letterato bitontino chierico regolare dell’ordine dei Teatini. ��Autore molto prolifico, la sua produzione fu essenzialmente storico-agiografia e celebrativa, come il lettore potrà agevolmente constatare scorrendo i titoli che seguono. 

Historiarum clericorum regularium a Congregatione condita pars prior, Vitale Mascardi, Roma, 1650

Musa canicularis sive iconum poeticarum libri tres, Eredi del Corbelletti, Roma, 1650 (ristampa per i tipi di Pietro Lamy a Parigi nel 1652; una seconda edizione uscì, sempre a Parigi, nel 1658 per i tipi di Goffredo Marcher)

Historiarum clericorum regularium a Congregatione condita pars altera, Eredi del Corbelletti, Roma, 1655

Venerabilis Servi Dei Francisci Olympii ordinis clericorum regularium vita, Eredi del Corbelletti, Roma, 1657

Opere di misericordia, overo sermoni di Purgatorio, Eredi del Corbelletti, Roma, 1660

Vita del Venerabile Servo di Dio D. Francesco Olimpio, Paolo Bonacotta, Messina, 1664 (ristampa postuma per i tipi di Salvatore Castaldo a Napoli nel 1685; entrambe traduzioni dello stesso autore dell’opera uscita in latino nel 1657)

Analecta prosae orationis, et carminum, epistolarum, epigrammatum, inscriptionum centuriae, Pietro dell’Isola, Palermo, 1666

Ragionamenti vari fatti in varie occasioni da D. Giuseppe Silos, Eredi del Corbelletti, Roma, 1668

Conferenze accademiche tenute da quattro virtuosi ingegni, Ignazio Lazzari, Roma, 1670 (dal frontespizio apprendiamo che il Silos fu Accademico Infiammato, detto lo Smemorato)1

Mausolea Romanorum Pontificum et Caesarum Regumque Austriacorum, Ignazio Lazzari, Roma, 1670

Vita di S. Gaetano Thiene, Ignatio de Lazari, Roma, 1671

Plausus in solemni consecratione D. Caietani Thienaei, Ignazio Lazzari,  Roma, 1671

  È tempo di passare agli epigrammi, entrambi in distici elegiaci, metro abbastanza scontato per questo tipo di componimento. Il primo epigramma, dedicato a Taranto, è in Musa canicularis …, opera della quale riproduco (da https://books.google.it/books?id=0OZIAAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=musa+canicularis&hl=it&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiXn8ql6o3WAhWEA8AKHTxnCssQ6AEIJjAA#v=onepage&q=musa%20canicularis&f=false) l’antiporta e il frontespizio.

Passo ora all’epigramma in questione che è il LIV della seconda centuria. Lo riproduco in formato immagine da p. 254.

A causa di qualche imperfezione tipografica trascrivo il testo prima di passare alla traduzione.

Cerne Phalantaei sublimia tecta Tarenti/Daunia cui quondam sceptra stetere manu,/nobilitata mari et caelo; portu inclyta cultis/sat clara ingeniis Urbs, genioque soli/dives opum, Tyriisque ostri, celeberrima luxu/regifico, Assyrio rore, meroque madens./Delicias inter saevis efferbuit armis,/movit et in latios bella cruenta Duces./Certatum, fato at cecidit, victumque Tarentum est,/visaque Tarpeio praeda superba iugo./Roma, Tarentinas ne iactes Dardana palmas;/falleris; haud ingens est, superasse lanor,/vicerat illecebris se primum molle Tarentum;/vincere iam victum, quam leve Martis opus.

Guarda le alte costruzioni della Taranto di Falanto, nelle cui mani un tempo stette lo scettro della Daunia, nobilitate dal mare e dal cielo; la città (è) famosa per il porto, abbastanza illustre per le qualità naturali coltivate, e, grazie alla divinità protettrice del luogo, abbondante di ricchezze, e di porpora di Tiro, celeberrima per il lusso regale, per il sommacco2 assiro, madida di vino. Fece ribollire i piaceri tra le crudeli armi, mosse guerre cruente anche contro i condottieri latini. Si combattè, ma Taranto per volere del destino cadde e fu vinta e sembrò preda superba della rupe Tarpea. Roma di origine troiana, non esaltare la vittoria su Taranto. Sbaglieresti; non è grande fatica averla superata. La molle Taranto per prima aveva vinto se stessa con le lusinghe: vincere il già vinto è impresa di guerra quanto mai facile.

  E passiamo a Lecce, il cui epigramma è il n. XX a p. 78 del Plausus …  (di seguito il frontespizio tratto da https://books.google.it/books?id=MGl5BS6dZA4C&pg=PP9&lpg=PP9&dq=plausus+on+solemni+consecratione&source=bl&ots=cpuRiOT1xE&sig=eaKA7OHZB2c4SddDQeKpE-b8obs&hl=it&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjIjM_ylY7WAhWhAMAKHStPC-MQ6AEILTAB#v=onepage&q=plausus%20on%20solemni%20consecratione&f=false).

E questo è l’epigramma.

Extremis quamvis Italum me cernis ad oras,/sum Salentini gloria prima soli./Me pietas, splendorque virum, laqueataque templa/nobilitant, facili sculptaque saxa manu./Me Caietani resonat dum fama triumphi,/non piguit longas arripuisse vias./Pectore nempe avido, ventis pernicius ipsis,/tot terras volucri visa vorare gradu./Nempe Urbs Italici ut quae sum velut ultima mundi;/ad Caietani gaudia prima forem.

Sebbene tu mi veda presso le estreme regioni d’Italia sono il primo vanto del suolo salentino. Mi nobilitano la pietà, lo splendore degli uomini e i templi dai soffitti a cassettoni, la pietra3 scolpita dall’abile mano. A me, mentre risuonava la fama del trionfo di Gaetano4, non rincrebbe di aver intrapreso un lungo cammino. Col cuore certamente avido, più velocemente degli stessi venti sembrai divorare tante terre con passo alato. Certamente io, per quanto sia come l’ultima città del mondo italico,  potrei essere  la prima per la gioia di Gaetano5.

Si direbbe che al Silos sia più simpatica, nonostante la sua marginalità geografica ricordata all’inizio e ribadita alla fine, la civile” e spirituale” Lecce della “militare” e “carnale” Taranto (anche se lo stesso verbo, nobilitare, è usato per entrambe), forse anche per la sua “affinità” religiosa. Addirittura, visto che è la citta stessa a presentarsi in prima persona, potremmo definire “parlante”  l’epigramma a lei dedicato. Resta, comunque,  il fatto positivo che l’una e l’altra abbiano avuto posto, come rappresentanti della Terra d’Otranto (Brindisi si metta il cuore in pace …), tra innumerevoli epigrammi dedicati, nell’una e nell’altra opera, a città importanti, e non solo italiane.

Trasse il nome dall’insegna che riproduceva Ercole avvolto dalle fiamme sul monte Ceta dopo aver indossato, su invito della moglie Deianira,  la tunica del centauro  Nesso ucciso dall’eroe con una freccia bagnata del sangue dell’Idra perché durante il passaggio di un fiume aveva tentato di prendersi un altro tipo di passaggio con sua moglie …  Il motto dell’accademia era Arso il mortale, al ciel n’andrà l’eterno, con riferimento all’intervento del padre  Giove che pose fine alla sua agonia portandolo con sé sull’Olimpo.

2 Piccolo arbusto, dalla corteccia e dalle foglie del quale si estraevano un tempo i tannini impiegati in tintoria e come mordente per la concia delle pelli.

3 Gaetano Thiene (1480-1547), fondatore nel 1524, insieme con Gian Pietro Carafa, dell’ordine dei Teatini. Fu proclamato beato da Urbano VIII nel 1629, santo da Clemente X nel 1670; è il trionfo celebrato nell’epigramma. Ricordo che nello stesso anno del Plausus (1671) uscì la biografia del santo scritta dal Silos (vedi penultima opera citata nell’elenco iniziale).

4 Quasi scontato questo riferimento alla pietra leccese.

5 Io vi colgo un’allusione al convento dei Teatini annesso alla chiesa di S. Irene, la cui costruzione fu iniziata su progetto del teatino Francesco Grimaldi nel 1591 ed ultimata nel 1639.

💞 cuddling with pope please -maybanksbaby :)

hi!!! thank you for being so nice to me!!! i really hope you like this and thank you sm for requesting and supporting me!!

word count: just a lil blurb, 345 words

“Popeeeeee?” you asked, stretching out your body so your head fell off the edge of your boyfriend’s bed. Pope turned around in his chair to face you, quietly chuckling.

“Yesssssss?” he teased, smiling as you playfully stuck your tongue out at him. 

“You’re very handsome upside down.” You smiled dreamily, turning back right side up before your head started to hurt. Pope flushed, looking down at his feet. No matter how many times you complimented him, he still got embarrassed every time.

“Come cuddle me bubba.” You grinned, moving so your head was against his pillow, making grabby hands at him. 

Pope stretched and fell into the bed beside you. You grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into you so his head rested on your chest. You wrapped your legs around his hips so you held him like a koala bear. 

Pope nuzzled his nose in your collarbone, placing gentle kisses on your chest. You massaged his lower back with the heels of your feet as you stroked his cheek with your thumb.

“I love you baby.” You whispered placing a kiss on the top of his head. 

“Love you too angel.” Pope murmured against your skin. You placed your hand under his chin and pulled his lips to yours. Pope moved so he hovered over you, keeping his soft lips pressed to yours. With his hands on your hips, he turned the two of you so that you were on top. 

“Lemme hold you doll. You’re too good to me.” Pope said against your lips as he moved a strand of hair out of your face. You blushed but smiled, resting your head on his bicep. 

“Read to me.” You placed a kiss on his shoulder as he nodded and reached over to his bedside table and grabbed “The Raven Boys”. 

“Whatever you want, bunny.” he smiled.

Pope opened the book and read to you and when you eventually dozed off to sleep, he put the book back and held you, promising to himself that he’d marry the angel in his arms one day.
