do i still have hope that s2 of the bear was just set up for an anti-gentrification back-to-their-roots realization that the characters will have in s3 after pouring so much into a stupid fancy restaurant and then being like shitttt i’m still not fulfilled AND i’m just back in the world i despised but this time i’m its creator AND the neighborhood isn’t with me anymore. maybe. but not really
#the bear affirmations: it isn’t gentrification if you’re from the neighborhood#we’ll see tho. we’ll see. but s2 did not instill confidence in me like helloooooo the fact that richi became nice after working with rich#people and learning to be part of a fucking brigade or whatever ???#i’ll never trust them after that……….#even if they do use it to like. you know take carmys obsession with perfection and proving that he belongs high up in the cooking world#to its natural end and it ends up spiraling . there’s still this underlying lack of criticism of the institutions they based the show on#and a lack of balancing internal conflict with external effects . like the restaurant truly just exists in a little bubble#which is MAYBE fine… but i don’t like that they only time they leave that bubble is for ‘character development’ that’s just like. fixing#poor people by instilling them with upper class sensibilities idk

KIDD; babysitter
wc: 3462 summary: reuniting with the kid you're babysitting after nine years certainly went the way you didn't expect it to warning/s: nsfw, fem reader, p0rnp0rnp0rn, cute little kidd, actual s3x happens proceed with caution, faces1tting, p in v, no grooming don't worry they're all wholesome when kids during adults is spicy tho 😳
you used to babysit this little redhead when you were sixteen and he was nine. he always had this prominent scowl that contorted the serenity on his face. he had the palest skin you've ever seen, well at least back then, you haven't encountered anyone with the degree higher than that of his. he had the richest red in his hair, thick curls hanging at the sides of his chubby cheeks.
he wasn't a rowdy, loud kid. he was a mean fucking kid, but somehow, you two can get along in the long run. maybe it's because you weren't one to discipline him and just let him do his shit, only cleaning up if his parents would be close to come home.
but what pisses you off the most though is how he always comes home being the dirtiest rugrat on the neighborhood. what's weird about it is he doesn't even roll on the muddy roads nor play with other children, them children always says he was very mean to them. he always had a wrench in one hand a contraption he made in the other, it's one of the times where he voluntarily comes to you to show off the said contraption. you'd have the responsibility to clean him up in the bath afterward, begrudgingly.
it lasted only when you were eighteen, school was getting hectic and he was gradually growing up to not need a sitter. you two developed a bizarre relationship of unanimous silence and stay-in-your-business shit to have gone for two years. but what you've noticed in your second year is that he had grown distant; he avoided your eyes, he gets shy when you ask him about his 'contraption', he doesn't meet you as a rugrat no more, and he actually does the chores you mostly do. maybe he really is growing up, not really needing a sitter.
you buried those memories at the back of your head, nine years have passed and now you're on a stable business on your flower shop. the reason this surfaced from your memory is when you saw the owner of the new tattoo parlor that had been built just a week ago. he had the same rich shade of red for his curly, voluminous locks and somewhat rivaled the skin color of the kid you were babysitting. you normally don't pay him any mind, business is too busy. that is until, he visited your shop, seemingly buying something for his girlfriend.
"there any chance i could get somethin' more than a bouquet?" he raised a brow, leaning by the counter to get to your level while you count his change.
"sure, anything else you want, sir?" you smiled, returning his change. you could see the shift in the glint in his eyes when your fingers touched.
"a chance to take you out and give these to you." he gestured for the bouquet of tulips he was clutching on those monstrous biceps. you took a moment to process his statement, blushing intensely afterwards.
"i-i uh... am not really available for those." you avoided his gaze, he towered over you but he feels like he was getting closer. his metallic scent growing pungent.
he took a moment to study you, before sighing. "of course, i'm just across, yeah? stay adorable, mo ghràdh (my love)." he winked, leaving with the bouquet.
you sat down on your chair, knees failing from what just happened. an incredibly hot UNIT just asked you out?! and you were too dumb to refuse?! you had no choice but to forget about it, you weren't really one to date.
few weeks had passed and you seem to have forget about it, you try your best to not glance at the parlor each time the owner is out. you don't know why but something deep in you wants to avoid and refuse anything related to him.
"oh my god, name?!" an old woman who was still radiating despite her age greeted you from the entrance, you took a moment and furrowed your brows. only to recognize the woman who took you in as a sitter nine years ago.
it took a lot of catching up, talking about your life mostly. you two were laughing and sharing stories, until she mentioned her son that fucking owns the tattoo parlor across your shop. the reason why she's here is she wants to give a bouquet to his son, for a successful half year.
your face couldn't muster up the shock that shook you to your core. she had to ask if you were okay. later enough, she was so excited that she planned to have a dinner with her family with you to catch up. well, you were pretty close with them in those two years. it'd be pretty rude to refuse this time.
and that's why you're sitting in this affluent house with high ceilings and shiny floors, across the redhead you remembered as someone so tiny was now bigger than you. the motherfucker never took his eyes off you, eyes that meant something more than curiosity.
"he's waaayy bigger than me, it's crazy!" you replied to the mother, laughing to reduce your uneasiness.
"right?! kidd was so focused on bulking up he's bigger than all of us!" his mother joked, nudging his son.
"that's enough about me, mammy. i'm more curious about name here, mind humorin' us about yourself?" he set his utensils down, clasp his hands, elbows resting on the table, and rested his chin atop his fists as he stared you down.
"hm? you've become so assertive now, kidd. back then, you were quite shy, hm? moreso, mean. have that changed too?" you tried matching up to his forwardness, raising a brow and holding his gaze.
"wanna fuck around and find out?" he cocked a brow, eyes narrowing.
there was silence, it's as if the room dimmed and the only light that radiated was the one between the two of you as you two had a mini staring contest on who'd look away first. you can't help it either, his golden orbs were something else, it's hypnotizing.
"gosh, you two were just like this back then! always having little bickerings!" his mother laughed, shaking you both to reality that you two weren't alone. "i'll let you two catch up, i'll just clean up." you almost begged her to stay, you don't know how to survive a room alone with him.
"hey name, come to the pool with me." he stood up, sauntering across the plutocratic house. you obeyed.
"why? you're inviting me to swim?"
once you've reached the pool place, he turned around, awfully close. "why don't we recreate some memories, yeah?" a grin made its way to his tinted lips. he simultaneously walked backwards to the pool as he unbuttoned the shirt that was way too tight on him.
your heart almost stopped in your chest. you two used to swim together during his birthday, you and a few other homies of his. "kidd... we aren't kids anymore."
by the time you complained, he was already shirtless, a body of a fucking greek god. he was unbuttoning his pants, now only his boxers that highlighted something too fucking distracting saliva was stuck on your throat. "and? can't you fucking swim now?" he teased, snickering. he wasted no time in diving, some of the water splashing on you.
"now i'm all wet, thanks." you sarcastically remarked, flapping your arms to dry off. he resurfaced, hair beautifully slicked back. he ran his hand across his face to dry off some water before shaking his head a bit to dry off his hair. he laughed a little, looking up at you. "well, seems you really have to get in now."
"how is that a reason to swim?" you placed your hands on your waist.
"come here, i'll tell you." he got closer at the edge of the pool, motioning his hand to ask you to get closer.
"i know this trick, eustass! i won't fall for it!" you raised your hands in defense, backing away from the pool.
"not if i drag you here though." he got up from the pool by propelling himself with his arms. body dripping as he ran to you and scooped you up like you weigh nothing. "ain't this nostalgic? you were the one carrying me like a sack back then."
"w-what the fuck?! you're so wet let me down!" you hit his chest, wiggling in his grasp as he gets closer to the pool.
"aye." he dropped you by the pool, shortly joining you afterward.
you both resurfaced, you gasped for air as he got closer to you. "i see you became even more of an asshole." you ran your hand across your face to get rid of some water.
his canines tugged at his lip as he grinned. "and you became even more damn whiny."
you two laughed for a moment, leaning closer. you two stood closer, getting lost in each other's eyes as well as the current of the pool.
"your eyes got more... golden." you mused at him, alternating glances at his orbs. he grinned a little.
"yeah? your smile got brighter too, you know that?" you were about to mutter out an insult but you slipped at the inclined floor towards the deeper part of the pool from the sudden push of the water. if it weren't for kidd pulling you closer by your arm as his other hand fell on your waist under water to pull you faster, you would've drowned.
"f-fucking shit!" you cursed, clinging onto his chest. "g-get me out of here, fuck!" you drummed at his chest and he bursted into laughter.
he abided, walking you to the stairs. he fetched a towel for you, throwing it above your head as he wrapped one around his hips.
"just borrow mammy's clothes, bathroom's on the left." he instructed, rubbing the towel on your head vehemently.
"okay, you can stop fucking with me now, kidd." you moved away from him, cursing out his grin now that he'd ruined your hair.
you did as he said. scanning through the clothes after washing up. you threw on a summer romper and dried your hair with the towel, walking outside to get some water on the kitchen.
as you were about to close the fridge door, you saw kidd was waiting on the other side of the room. "jesus christ, i told you to stop fucking with me!" you stomped on the floor, fists clenched.
he smiled a little, walking towards you. "not my fault you're jumpy."
"no, you just like to fuck with me, that's it."
"not entirely wrong."
"what's the other half?"
"that i do want to fuck you."
you were about to laugh, only to realize the meaning behind his words. you looked at him with the reddest face and the widest eyes. "k-kidd?!"
"yeah? want me to say it again? little closer by your ear, perhaps?" he leaned down closer, scrunching his nose.
you moved away, fanning yourself. "i'm just gonna pretend i didn't hear that-"
he grabbed your wrist, pulling you closer. "hey, that's just being unfair. you heard me loud and clear, bòidheach (beautiful). your face is enough damn reason." he tapped your chin, grinning as he stared at the redness of your cheeks. "and i'm sure you know how i want this to go, hm?"
"n-no kidd, this- we're in your mother's house...!" you looked around, looking for signs of his mother.
"and? i suppose you're aware that this is my house too and i have my room upstairs. kitchen'll do though."
"n-no! what are you talking about?! how the fuck did you reach that point where you wanted to do that with me?" the irritation was evident in your voice but that bastard was enjoying the show.
"well," he placed a hand on the fridge's surface, his biceps flexing and the veins on the crook of his elbow become more prominent, you were so fucking distracted your cheeks we're quite literally on fire. "innocent lil crushes evolve to somethin' more when you put on mini fuckin' skirts and tight fuckin' dresses everyday, it's hard not to look when you're just across the damn street, aye?" he eyed you, focused on the view of your cleavage from above.
"stop gawking at me, you pervert...!" you covered your chest. "i am not sleeping with you, feels weird."
"look, name." he shifted his weight, now crossing his arms. he didn't miss the way your eyes focused on how the bulge in his muscles got tighter and bigger. "it seems that you've got the idea that i'm still the little boy that you used to take care of, yeah? lemme do somethin' about that, m'eudail (darling)." his gaze darkened, his hands brushed by your arms before it finally settled on your shoulders.
there was silence. he had that cocky smirk while you pressed your lips together, trying to contain yourself from exploding. he cleared his throat, spreading his arms in surrender. "alright, i won't pressure ya. but know that i'll be waitin' in my room, last room on the right corner of the fourth floor." he winked before leaving you, heating up like a goddamn bonfire.
you took a moment before sliding down and sitting yourself down on the floor. it seems so fucking enticing, he seems so fucking enticing. the way you always catch his golden eyes that was highlighted by that beautiful red fucking locks almost undressed you, the way his toned fucking abdomen peeked from his shirt each time he lifts his arms and you see a hint of that happy trail, and how his thighs looked so goddamn huge on his ripped jeans.
"fucking hell, kidd." you mumbled to yourself, tugging on your locks. it didn't took you long enough to finally come to terms with it. so you gave in. it's just one time, right?
you made your way to the series of floors, passing by family portraits and baby pictures. you giggled to yourself seeing lots of pictures of both of you. soon enough, you reached the tall black door that seemed too conspicous that it indeed belonged to him. you hesitated a little before knocking with shaking fists.
seconds after, he opened the door with his shirt off. you tried your best to not gawk at how built this man is. he leaned an arm on the door that was halfway open, a knowing smirk on his lips as he eyed you up and down once more.
"i know what you're going to say, but i will only agree for one. fucking. time." you gritted your teeth, getting closer and raising your index finger at him. he nodded like an asshole, smile never faltering.
he placed his hand on the upper door frame, simultaneously leaning down closer to you while holding your gaze. "sure, cupcake. let's see how long you can hold your tongue."
you narrowed your gaze and there was a little staring contest between the two of you. he moved a little when he saw you trying to squeeze yourself inside, laughing at how cute you are. once you were walking inside he spoke, "why the change of heart?" he shut the door, flicking the lock.
you took a look around his room, it was mostly dark and reds, of course. littered with band posters and a spray painted wall that seemed to be an original art by him. red led lights wrote his name at the top of his black, tufted headboard. "prove me wrong about earlier, i guess."
he got closer, arms gently prying your crossed arms off, and landing on the buttons of your dress. "right, let's get into it, yeah?"
once he unbuttoned all of it and you let him, you stood there as his hands rested on either sides of your bare waist. his hands were cold. you linked foreheads as you exchanged deep breaths from the contact. "your hands are cold." you muttered, his metallic perfume clouding your senses. "and you're fuckin' sweatin', princess." he complained at the small beads of sweat on your lower back.
his hands roamed down your cheeks, squeezing both with much fervor before giving it a smack. you flinched, hands landing on his chest. "asshole." he cocked a grin at your remark, squeezing tighter to pull your hips closer.
your hands roam the span of his chest, across his shoulders, and up to his neck. your fingers traced the edges of his face, up to his tinted lips. soon enough, he licked the tip of your fingers before biting the skin a little. "come here, give me a kiss. i know you wanna." he growled, hands traversing to where your bra clips where.
you ignored him but complied, pulling him down to your level and colliding your lips with his. boy, was it the wildest kiss you've ever experienced. he immediately slid his tongue inside, taking control of your mouth. he smiled through the kiss before biting your lower lip when he felt you hitching a breath and wrapping your arms around his neck. he swiftly carried you by your bum and wrapped your legs around his waist.
it didn't take long enough for both of all of your clothes to be on the floor and now you two are hungrily making out on his bed. you sat on top of his lap while he sat like a fucking king on his bed, leaning by the headboard as he played with your ass until it's red. he relishes on how your folds periodically rub across his length, how your tits bounced on his neck and chest, and how warm and good your body feels when he hugs it.
"sit on my face." he ordered, muttering through hot pants and wet kisses. you almost fell on his lap if it weren't for his grip on your hips.
"w-what?" your eyes widened and your cheeks flushed, as if you weren't naked with him doing unholy things.
"you heard me, lovely." his eyes darkened, smile growing. "i'll fuckin' drag you here if i have to."
so you did, you weren't sure how to position yourself, it was your first time sitting on someone. so you carried yourself a little, afraid of suffocating him.
"baby," he peeked after giving one languid lick on your crevice. "when i tell you to sit on my face, sit. fucking. down." he pulled your hips down, both hands settled on your thighs as you completely took over his face.
oh, he took his time alright. slurping, sucking, and biting while he bullies your ass. you had to get a hold of the headboard because of how this goddamn animal devours you. "s-slow d-down- fuck!" you almost squealed, pulling on his hair. you felt him smile through your lips.
you were worn out afterward, overstimulated and he haven't even used his length. he gave you kiss on the cheek before pumping his length, "i-i don't think it'll fit..."
he bursted into laughter, "you're too fuckin' adorable, come here." he pulled you closer by the neck. "i'll make sure you'll beg for it later, don't worry."
and the bastard really did make you beg for it. he's got you pinned down between his arms with you back facing him as he rams you from behind. the repeated contact of your skin resounded around the four walls of his room. your chin was buried down his black pillows that scented so much like him it made you go even more crazy, your eyes were rolling at the back of your head as you utter out slurred curse words, drunk on his dick. he was fucking prying your walls open. his length was too girthy and huge. he always makes it a mission to reach your cervix with each thrust. you fisted the sheets, going crazy with each movement of his hips.
he leaned down and bit on your shoulder before licking on your ear. "enjoying yourself a little too much? you're way too fuckin' loud there, not that i'm complainin'. just hold on a little, i'm close." he gave the top of your head a kiss before returning back to his position, raising your ass up to have a sturdy grip and a harder thrust.
"i-i'm cumming," you slurred between your moans, toes curling and thighs shivering. and not too long after, you both came in unison, panting and whining against each other as he leaned his forehead on your shoulder.
"still a little boy?"
"shut the fuck up, you came all over me."
"why don't we clean up like you used to do to me, yeah?"
"you'll fuck me again in the bath, i'd rather not."
feeding y'all :>

Ooh or instead of the adventure req what about hobie x fem reader where they go trick or treating and the reader obviously pretends to be a kid (the disguise works well) and hobie pretends to be the parent (cause yk he's so tall) and in the end they get a bunch of candy
Hi, angel! I decided to combine them both since I've got an idea, hope that's okay. Thank you for the lovely request! ❤️
Pairing: Hobie Brown x fem! Reader/ Spider-Punk x fem! Reader
Tags: no use of Y/N, no specific physical description of the reader (Hobie is mentioned taller than her tho). CW food mentions, FLUFF.
ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ
"Trick or treat!" You emphasize the sentence by making your voice small and pitched to trick the homeowner that you're a little kid asking for candy.
The white bed sheet draped over your form, the small eye holes Hobie cut off for you doesn't help much with your vision. Hobie stands next to you with the most polite smile he could muster whilst trick or treaters run around the posh neighborhood, little kids with their own chaperones roam around– excited squeals from across all angles.
Hobie convinced you to go and actually go Trick some people off their candies. With him looking much taller than you looking like your adult chaperone for the night and your entire body and face obscured, hiding the fact you're the same age as Hobie just smaller in height, it's the perfect crime. No harm no foul, right? It's not like you're stealing their candy, just tricking them, that's the essence of the holiday anyway. Besides, these rich neighborhoods got the good kind of candy, the full sized ones not the single bite ones.
The lady at the door doesn't look all too convinced though, she squints her eyes, perfectly shaped brows knitted to look closely under your sheet.
Hobie shakes your basket full of candy impatiently, he holds it for you just in case someone has the bright idea to peek under your sheet when you hold it up.
"Wow, a classic ghost. Haven't seen that one in a while" she stops scrutinizing, surrendering two full sized candy bars to Hobie.
"Thank you!" You say in a higher voice. "Say thank you to the nice lady, dad" You don't miss the opportunity to tease him more.
You've been going back and forth with Hobie for ten houses now, he kind of regrets convincing you with how you keep calling him your dad instead of what you've discussed that he's supposed to be your big brother. He stops himself from rolling his eyes at your comment.
"Thank you" Hobie says with the fakest smile you've ever seen him make.
"Bye bye now!" The woman waves. You make your way down the porch, your heavy boots peeking from under the hem of the sheet, making the woman tilt her head in question.
Hobie feels for your hand underneath the sheet, finding it after a few seconds of blindly looking. "D'you think we've got enough?"
"Hmm? Here I thought we're gonna bleed them dry?" You poke his side without lifting the sheet to reveal your face. "Or is it because you don't want me calling you 'dad' anymore?" Poking him relentlessly, you snicker.
"I prefer 'daddy' instead" he teases back with a smirk.
"Fuck off" you say with a chuckle, eyes narrowing at his quip.
A group of costumed teenagers pass you, they excitedly chatter about a party in the woods. A boy dressed as a mummy, covered in toilet paper harshly shoves his friend in a knight costume. You perk up at their loud voices.
"Heard they have free booze! Come on, don't be a pussy!"
The knight shoves back, "it's a party in the woods on Halloween. That's how horror movies starts"
His friend dressed in a homemade Doc Ock outfit chides in, "he's right, I don't care if they give out buckets full of candy. I ain't goin'"
They continue to argue amongst themselves, walking briskly away from you and Hobie.
"Did you hear that?" Your eyes widen, almost filling the eye holes of your costume.
"Who the fuck wears a Doc Ock costume?" Hobie wonders out loud.
"Someone who loves science or a psychopath in the making" you click your tongue. "But did you hear the party going on in the woods?!" You jump on your tippy toes to get his attention away from the wannabe Doc Ock. The cloth bounces by the hem, Hobie thinks you look so adorable right now.
"You wanna go and see? Someone's probably pranking those kids, but it won't hurt if we just popped in and out"
"Yeess!" Fueled by sugar, you tug at his arm, directly heading towards the dark woods.
—
"We're lost" you mumble, almost tripping on a tree root if not for Hobie's hold on you, you would've fell face first on the mossy soil. Your boots are covered in mud, the hem of your sheet is muddy instead of the pristine condition it was before.
With only a single torch from your phone guiding you both, there's no trace or sound that indicates there's a party somewhere around the woods. Save for some owls hooting on tall trees, looming ominously over your forms. Critters slither by your feet, tiny legs tap tapping on the wood. The full moon shines overhead but the thick leaves on top of the tall oaks and pine trees block the light, only a sliver of it peeking from the leaves.
"We can always ask that owl where we are" Hobie looks nonchalant with his hand tucked warmly inside his pocket, he still looks cool even with leaves stuck in his hair. His other hand is clasped tightly around yours, making sure you don't wander on your own.
You groan, feet aching from the walk, your sugar high waning from your senses. Still determined to find the party for the free booze. The sheet is now tied over your shoulders, you look like a superhero who's transformation to their costume was abruptly cut off.
"You're very funny. Think of the free booze, Hobie"
"'m thinkin' it's not worth it anymore, we still need to count our haul" he points at the bag clutched tightly in your hand.
"But" you whine, "free stuff" a leaf gets crushed from under your boot.
"I want free shit too, love. But you look fuckin' tired"
"I can handle it" you stick out your tongue tinged in blueberry blue from one of the candies you've been munching on.
"Are you–" his sentence gets interrupted by a sharp howl coming from a distance. Hobie instinctively huddles you closer to him, shielding you from whatever made the sound.
"Do you have a werewolf nemesis?" You ball his jacket in your fist, ears perking up from a twig snapping.
Suddenly fast footsteps seem to run towards your direction, Hobie's senses go haywire, he swiftly takes you in his arm, free hand aiming to swing you two away from the supposed danger.
"Nope!"
—
"Divide it equally! No skimming from my stash" you sit on Hobie's lap, legs curled comfortably around his waist, he doesn't seem to mind though, even if his ass feels like it's gotten flat from sitting on the floor way too long.
You hold a damp cloth over his temple, wiping his skin clean from dirt accumulated through swinging. Your face is still moist from how he cleaned it a few minutes ago, your 'costume' now lay discarded on the floor, dirty and muddy from your excursion. Boots left by the door so it doesn't track mud inside your shared living room.
"'m not, I'm taking the ones you don't like" he lifts up a caramel candy, "you don't like this one, right?"
"Hmm" you think about it, "it's a maybe" curling around him like a python, you whisper your answer in his ear.
"That 'maybe' is the reason why we're still not done yet. You plannin' on hoarding them all?" he looks down at you, eyes softening when your doe eyes stare right back at him.
You smile sweetly, "Don't be mad" puckering your lips up. "Kiss?"
"Not mad" Hobie kisses you gently for a second. Too fast for your liking, it has you concerned.
"You okay?" You scratch his nape affectionately. "We're fine, Hobie. It was probably just an animal, a coyote or even a bunny"
"Or a werewolf" he kisses the knot in between your eyebrows, skin softening under his lips.
"Please, werewolves aren't real" you roll your eyes. Hobie holds your waist tighter, fingers playing with a loose thread from your shirt.
"Got my powers from a radioactive spider, there's a lizard man prowling the city's sewers and a magician with a fishbowl on his head. Werewolves aren't so ridiculous"
"Oh" You thump your head on his shoulder blade, you both sit there with a lot to think about.

could you write something where the reader moved in and her house is next to pedri’s one her window is also next to pedri’s one so every time she gets changed she does it in front of the window to tease her next neighbor
Warning: It's not really dark, but it leans towards it a little bit
The thin line between imagination and reality...
Enjoy 🍌
Ghosting Touch
The first time it happened, you didn't really pay attention. Maybe you were delusional, because why should someone watch you ?
The second time it happened, you stared for a little longer through the window on the other side, but you couldn't really see anything... or rather anyone. So you continued you moisture and got dressed as usual.
The third time, a pair of eyes flickered back, being gone as soon as he spotted you. You held the towel to your chest, counting the seconds before moving on as well.
From that moment something challenged you. Maybe it was the way his eyes raked over your freshly showered, naked body or it was the way he acted like nothing happened whenever you greeted each other at the doorstep.
He was interesting...
You didn't really know much about your next door neighbor. He must be around your age. His name was Pedro and he lived together with his brother. Pedro drove a green Mini Cooper and a black Supra Formentor.
When you introduced yourself, he was friendly and his voice calm. He was attractive and had an athletic build, but he wasn't tall. You barely needed to tilt your chin to look at him. Pedro often had a friend over. He called him Gavi.
He must be rich, you figured.
This neighborhood wasn't cheap, your own apartment being paid by the scholarship you got for your studies. You didn't know what he worked, being home most of the time. Maybe he's an heir and doesn't need to work.
What you knew was, that it became some sort of ritual. Him peeking behind his window when you moisturized and dressed after showering or when you got dressed in the mornings.
He never stared at you like some creep, he seemed rather admiring, like he was looking at a painting or a sculpture.
Pedro's stare wasn't making you uncomfortable either. You enjoyed giving him a show, which made you sometimes feel like a creep.
It was never too sexual tho. Just a quick pinch to your hardened nipple. Your hands lingering a little too long on your chest. Thumbs skimming just above the spot between your thighs. A little bite into your lower lip.
And it's not like you masturbated or something. You couldn't see if he did. Hopefully not, right ?
Sometimes, at night, you imagined him. On top of you. Lips exploring your skin, worshipping you the way his eyes did. His hands spreading the moisturizer.
You felt ashamed when you silently screamed his name into your pillow in ecstasy.
-
Today felt different.
When you stepped into your bedroom, you shivered. Closing the window to the small balcony, you observed the other side. The architecture of the two houses was symmetrical. You couldn't see him. You swore that you had closed the window prior to your shower.
Usually he stood next to the tall window, body barely hidden by darkness and the thick fabric of his curtains.
Today, sunlight gleamed into the room. The corner of the bed told you he also used it as a bedroom. Maybe his own ?
Backing away, you went over to your drawer. It was already noon, so you decided on a light blue tank top with lace detail and some sweatpants.
Reaching for the lowest drawer, you paused. It wasn't fully shut. You were sure you didn't leave it open.
Inside, every pair of panties was as neatly folded as usual, so you pushed the weird feeling away that nudged at your brain. The choice was easy, light blue cotton with a small bow. Matching.
You put the clothes atop of your neatly folded duvet where you had already thrown the bottle of moisturizer before showering. Taking another peek through the window, disappointment made your lips into a frown.
He wasn't there. It made you unsure. He was always there, why not today ?
Shaking your head at your silliness, you loosened the knot of your towel and let it fall to the floor to pool at your feet.
But it never pooled at your feet. The familiar deep voice startled you.
"Missing me, hermosa ?" his warm hand clamped over your mouth, but you didn't scream.
You couldn't. His presence made you freeze.
Noticing this, he dropped his hand and leaned towards the bed. His clothed front pressed against your naked body, making you shudder.
Your gaze dropped to his hands, now encircling you, watching him put some of the moisturizer in his hand. A black ring decorated his left ring finger. You had never noticed him wearing a ring.
His lips found your neck, softly pecking and nibbling the skin. The feeling was unbelievable.
"Close your eyes."
You did. The only sound being heard now was his hands rubbing the moisturizer between them.
When his hands first touched your skin, you flinched from the cold. He started with your stomach, carefully spreading the liquid. It surprised you that his hands didn't stay at your private parts, but rather move up to your navel again, after making sure everything was decently moisturized down there.
Whispering sweet nothings into your neck, he focused on your chest. He mapped out every detail. The pads of his fingertips played with adding and releasing pressure.
You were breathless.
"Pedro..." you whimpered as he found your nipples. They were hard pearls and he rubbed them between his fingers.
"Shhh" his voice soothed you, luring you even more into his spell. He licked his lips, you felt his wet tongue under your ear.
You felt him reach forward again, probably to get some more of the lotion. Pedro stepped away so he could focus on your back. A feeling of emptiness spread through your body at the loss of his warmth against you.
His hands were rougher now, kneading the sore muscles. He seemed to find every tension and knot. You wondered how he knew exactly where to massage you.
He reached down again, this time giving your shoulder a little kiss. Being softer while putting the cream on your arms, he took each one to his full attention, Kissing your hand softly before letting go.
The whole situation had your senses heightened. His touch erecting every nerve ending in your body. It had moisture collecting between your thighs and you hoped he wouldn't stop anytime soon.
Putting one hand one your hip he leaned his chin on your shoulder, hints of stubble scratching your spoiled skin.
Your lips parted slightly as he started to speak again.
"That's a pretty color. Also, I have a thing for lace. You know me so well, amor"
You felt like he was looking directly at your face, but you didn't dare to open your eyes. He guided your hands through the straps of the tank top you had laid out before.
It made you clench your thighs. There was something unbearably erotic of him dressing you, instead of undressing you. Like you were a doll. His doll.
Making sure to keep your eyes shut, you helped him put the cotton over your head. Luckily you didn't wash your hair in the shower. The way he took your hair out from under the top made your spine tingly.
His hands brushed your nipples again when pulling down the hem. Purposely, you figured.
He held your hand.
"Lay on the bed." his voice was calm and steady. Did this leave him completely unbothered ?
Relaxing on the duvet, he pushed you to the edge of the bed. He kneeled in between your legs now. You hoped he didn't see how turned on you were by him.
He set your foot on his shoulder, spreading the lotion up to your groin. Goosebumps erupted on your skin and you had the urge to touch yourself.
Feeling the need to give your body the pleasure it was begging you for, your clit was begging you for. His plush lips ghosted over your ankle and the barely there sensation almost had you moaning his name.
Taking a deep breath, you concentrated. He worked his way down the other leg, giving no less attention. When he kissed your ankle this time, you pushed your hips up.
He chuckled, which made you even wetter. Still holding onto your ankle, he pushed forward so that your thigh was now resting on his shoulder. The material of his shirt felt soft against your leg.
You waited for the feeling of his mouth, but he didn't move forward. Instead, he reached up and guided your hand towards your centre. His fingers over yours, you felt how your excitement coated you both.
You moaned as he lead your fingertips over your clit in circular motions. Back arching, you decided not to hold back anymore. For what ?
It wouldn't take you long to explode, so you kept the attention on your bundle of nerves, but Pedro pushed your hand down to your slit.
He pushed two of your fingers inside, making you clench around yourself. The heel of your hand grazed your clit ever so often, a familiar feeling building in your lower stomach.
Suddenly, you felt him push two fingers of his inside, underneath yours. He pushed them in every time you pushed out. Your body was on fire.
His name on your lips, you pushed your hips to meet the thrusts of his and your fingers inside of you. Your other hand sneaked underneath your top to play with your breasts.
Your pace became quicker and you thrust your hips into emptiness, until a wave of pleasure came over you. Teeth sinking into your bottom lip, you rode out your orgasm, enjoying every second of it.
Your whole body was shaking and your toes curled at the image of Pedro watching this exact moment.
You couldn't keep your eyes shut any longer. You had to look at him, even if you were scared of the aftermath.
When you calmed your breath and the hazing dizziness in your head faded away, you opened your eyes.
Nothing.
You propped up on your elbows to sit up, but you were alone. Looking around, your apartment hadn't changed. No one seemed to be here.
But it felt so real. He felt so real.
Sighing, you got up to clean up. Slowly, but surely you were going crazy.
After putting on your panties and sweats you decided to go to sleep, since apparently you needed it. Much.
-
The next day, you decided to go for a run after breakfast to clear your head and you had a feeling it really helped you. You kept on the clothes from last night, throwing them in the hamper afterwards anyway.
When you reached your home again, you took a peek in the mailbox as usual.
A letter from FC Barcelona dropped into your hands. Adressed not to you, but to Pedri Gonzalez - Lopez.
Pedri. A nickname. Interesting.
Or not. He was probably just a fan.
Deciding not to snoop, you made your way over to his house and rang the doorbell. Hopefully he was already awake.
After a few minutes, he opened the door.
"Buenos dias. Up so early already ? What can I do for you ?" he smiled at you.
It threw you a little off guard and you didn't even know why. You cleared your throat.
"Buenos dias. Umm.. this was in my mail box" God, you couldn't even look him in the eyes.
Handing him the letter, you stopped. There was a familiar black ring decorating his finger.
No. That would mean he...
That would mean last night wasn't a dream and he actually broke into your house. No. It was probably just a coincidence.
"So.. aren't you gonna let go ?" he cocked an eyebrow.
"Oh yes, sure. I'm sorry"
You really needed to get a grip. Or a doctor. Or both.
"Thank you, have a nice day." he smiled again. "By the way... I really like that color. It suits you."
Pedri winked and closed the door, leaving you flushed and startled.
Oh, what a realistic imagination you had.
A/N: I know this probably isn't what you had in mind when requesting but I hope you still enjoy reading.
A slightly darker, but still intriguing take. Yes I know that Pedri would probably never ever do this, but maybe it was all just the readers' fantasy anyway 😝
Let me know what you think 💕

La Squadra Hcs cause I love them and I’m waiting for my sleep meds to kick in 🙏✨
⛓️Risotto⛓️
- worst sleep schedule of them all. Will not go to bed and when he does, it’s at his desk or just absolutely totaled on his bed. (Still in his day clothes.)
- Visits his cousins grave on the anniversary of his death.
- everyone is mortified of him, he envy’s Bruno to a certain extent for his groupies being open with him, instead of intimidated like his own.
- unfortunately the messiest assassin out of all of them. It’s hard for him to not comeback from a job absolutely drenched or at least have a ton of viscera on him.
- He has so much paperwork. It’s unreal.
🧊Ghiaccio🧊
- was forced into ice skating by his mother, did actually enjoy the sport however.
- wanted to finish college and get a major in English/ Ela and a minor in Italian.
- was the second to last person to join, Pesci was the last.
- grew up with a bunch of cats in his neighborhood and also just as pets. Has a soft spot for them. (Also because his stand looks like a a cat.) (it literally has a tail)
- regularly cleans his glasses. Literally every 10 seconds he’s absolutely scrubbing them down with the microfiber cloth
🍈Melone🍈
- most likely the only one of the assassins to survive part 5.
- really open about sexuality talk. In both a weird way and also the guy you’d probably come out to first.
- has an genuine interest in zodiacs and religions
- actual technical wizard. Probably could just hit a router and it would instantly start working again.
- Transmasc. Look at him bruh.
- HPD. No I won’t elaborate (I have a personality disorder guys trust)
🎣Pesci🎣
- last to join the assassin squad. Much to Proscuttios dismay.
- vaguely related, not in a brother way but in a “cousin thrice removed” way.
- absolutely 1000% the normalest next to Formaggio
- ibs.
- was medicated for his anxiety disorder, but then when their pay got cut he and formaggio would legit go into pharmacy’s and steal the medication.
- not incompetent, unfortunately the way Proscuttio mentors him just makes him feel useless.
- likes to snatch things from others with BeachBoy and play a strange sort of “monkey in the middle” with their said object if he’s bored or is in a cheeky mood
🦴Proscuttio🦴
- chronically an old man. Both in his views and how he operates
- genuinely would say “back in my day”
- so deep in the dam closet about also liking men he’s practically about to reach Narnia
- he grew up with that kind of mentorship and thinks it works for everyone. No if ands or buts
- does that face touchey thing with everyone. Either they hate it (Formaggio, Illuso, Ghiaccio.) or they just kinda tolerate it (Pesci, Risotto, Melone)
- said one misogynistic thing once and then proceeded to get SLAPPED by Ghiaccio..(He never did it again.)(he’s learned.)
🪞Illuso🪞
- grew up with rich but neglectful parents
- only praised him when he did something well academically.
- was not allowed to grow out his hair. His father was a awful man.
- uses his cruelty as a way to coverup a genuine insecurity.
- in my own brain. I’d like to think Sheila-E got to beat the shit out of him. Then they finally tolerated eachother.
🤏Formaggio🤏
- i dont care what you say that mother fucker is a manlet.
- the second most normal. He has his quirks tho.
- fucking hates dogs. Absolutely fucking hates them.
- has such an unlucky streak with women that Melone once told him ��he should switch teams, you know?” And it’s bruised his ego forever.
- flirts with women so bad he makes Melone look like a conversation expert.
BONUS
👄Sheila-E👄
- hates these guys Fugo pick her up she’s SCARED.
- absolutely the one treated like a child. “I’m not a kid!” Then literally everyone goes “yes you are”
- has done exactly 24 murder attempts on Illuso . They stopped once Illuso just let her beat the ever loving shit out of him. (Im talking broken ribs, face, everything.)
- has definitely made at least one of them cry over a mean teenage girl comment. Fucking wears that moment like a badge of HONOR.
- fluctuates like a stray cat between the assassin base and Giornos mansion.

2023 UPCOMING BL
Okay, these are all the BLs (I know of) that have been announced for 2023. Not counting stuff currently airing. All of this must be considered SPECULATIVE. Don’t you dare blame me if these don’t happen. You read this post knowing that. Agreed? Please remember:
7 Golden rules of BL!
Never trust:
a Thai trailer,
a Viki Category,
a Vietnamese sub,
an MDL description,
a Taiwanese title,
Japan,
or a BL made before 2014.
FAQ: How long does it usually take from an announcement to getting more info on a BL being made?
Because people have asked I have put the ones I am most excited about in bold.
Vietnamese & Pinoy BL not chronicled, it's just too challenging.
Supposedly Jan 2023
01/29 The End Of The World, With You AKA Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu - Japan for Gag Trailer. Stars Toshiki Seto (Senpai, This Can't Be Love). In 10 days, the world will be destroyed by a meteor. To spend his remaining time as comfortably as possible, bad-luck magnet Masumi decides to visit the library and read as much as he wants until the end comes. There he meets the one man from his past that he never wanted to see again, Ritsu. You should expect this to end badly.
The Luminous Solution - Thai, PTG Entertainment: Stars Gun Napat (Love By Chance/ Golden Blood), Bhu Bhudis (Manner Of Death)
Hit Bite Love - Thai Jinloe Media Works. BONKERS incomprehensible MDL description.
Nilundon - Thai: Postponed from 2021 to recast one of the leads, never a good sign. Ensemble of 2 BLs + 1 GL, featuring adult characters, cafe, rich/poor. About a freelance photographer and heir to a famed Seoul hotel and restaurant business who, following a family death, returns to Thailand and meets a gregarious young barista. Side romances: producer is head-over-heels in love with her YouTubing bestie, and a veterinarian falls in love with the lead character’s impish cousin.
Time The Series - Thai (trailer), lakorn we think, not strictly BL
Supposedly Feb 2023
02/10 Egoist - Japan This is about an openly gay but vein and superficial man (Hio) who falls in love with a personal trainer (Ryohei) who is stuck taking care of his sick mother. It’s not BL, it’s gay coming of age and we can’t expect it to end happily. Still, I’ll try to watch it. Japanese movies are notoriously difficult to get ahold of, tho. One of my absolute favorite Japanese actors Hio Miyazawa (from His the movie) has the lead in this movie adaptation of Makoto Takayama’s autobiographical novel Egoist. He’ll be opposite super famous actor Ryohei Suzuki.
02/14 Moments Of Love - Thai (Foremorfilm Production) Trailer Golf Tanwarin (609 Bedtime Story & The Eclipse) directs SmartJames (LeonPhob from Don't Say No).
02/18 Chains of Heart - Thai Trailer Suspense thriller about a forest ranger, smugglers, memory loss, and lost love. Stars Haii (Cirrus in TT2) and Poppy (Porpla in YYY). Adapted from a Y-novel of the same name by TJ Tommy.
02/27 Tin Tam Jai - Thai (MFlow Entertainment on iQIYI) Tin has always been secretly in love with P'Phak son of the neighborhood baker. Producers behind Ai Long Nhai and Coffee Melody so don't expect much.
Supposedly March 2023
03/09 Love Syndrome (characters from Unforgotten Night) - Thai trailer Day and It have been together for 2 years. An accident leaves Day seriously injured and It blames himself. Then Day wakes up with amnesia. (stars Frank of FrankDrake) based on a y-novel.
JAPAN 2023
Our Dining Table AKA Bokura no Shokutaku - Mira Ori's BLOVED manga (especially be me) is getting an adaptation (HOPEFULLY THIS YEAR)! Lonely salaryman (talented cook) gets accidentally adopted by a college kid and his baby brother. They build a family together. This is a sweetly gentle and cozy manga and it will make a GREAT live action piece. I’ve recommended the manga in the past to anyone who likes BLs like Ingredients, To My Star, What Did You Eat Yesterday? and I think we are in for similar gay domesticity to Old Fashion Cupcake with this adaptation YAY!
My Beautiful Man Eternal AKA Utsukushii Kare 2 - trailer I’m very nervous, I think this series stands alone and is perfect as it already is. I’m worried Japan is over egging the pudding. More here.
Takumi-kun - No Japan, back away slowly. We do not need this. No one wants it.
KOREA 2023
Bump Up Business (OnlyOneOf) - (Idol Romance) Announcement More gossip. Depicts the tickling love story between a trainee who is about to debut and a celebrity from the same agency. Kpop boy group OnlyOneOf has collectively signed up to be in this idol-based BL. They’ve been auditioning for this since Libido IMHO. You can watch me chronicle their BL MV series in this post. Idol Romance will do sad but can do good kisses (Wish You, Nobleman Ryu, Once Again, Kissable Lips, Poongduck 304, Tasty Florida, Tinted With You). More info here.
Blueming 2 - likely to air on iQIYI This was one of my favorites from 2022 year (9/10). I’m not thrilled about a 2nd season. It’s the same director as TMS2, and I didn’t like that one all that much. Still, I’m always intersted in where Korea goes when it’s given enough rope to hang itself.
Comfort the Boy - Premiere postponed indefinitely due to actor contract conflict, rated R15+ due to topic & vulgarity. Adaptation of Dongmul's manwha A Shoulder to Cry On, high school set, features a teasing confident gay, and a rich/poor pairing, about homophobia/gossip putting a scholarship in jeopardy. Was to stars idols Jaehan & Yechan BOTH from Kpop group OMEGA X. But given the crisis in management with that group, I think this is unlikely to happen, at least with this pair.
First Love's User Manual - Korea (Silkwood) Thai BL pair TutorYim to star (?) in this KBL under A-Plan International’s Silkwood (Peach Of Time). No further info, no MDL listing. Could all be rumors.
Heesu In Class 2 - Korea's gay version of Sex Education. Heesu’s world revolves around Chanyoung, his best friend and secret crush. He doesn’t mind cheering Chanyoung from the sidelines or listening to all his girl problems. Then one day, Heesu starts hearing his name everywhere - on the bus, in the halls, during lunch. Turns out, there’s a rumor: Got a love problem? Find Heesu in Class 2 and he’ll tell you what to do! With that, Heesu suddenly finds himself the center of attention. But how could he give anyone advice? He doesn’t even know what to do about his own crush! Well known child actor Ahn Ji Ho (All of Us Are Dead) to lead.
Jump the series - Korea (SOL Entertainment probably for Gaga) Trailer From the producers of Cherry Blossoms and others. Coming-of-age drama that'jumps' to the next chapters of life: love, friendship, competition, mistakes, dreams and hopes.
Liquor - I got nothing but rumors.
Star Struck AKA Starstruck - Korea (Terapin Studio) A boy has had a crush on his childhood friend for a long time. Stars Zuho (Kpop SF9 - noted good egg) opposite rookie actor Kim In Sung, based on a web novel of the same name.
Unintentional Love Story - Ceramic artist Yoon Tae Joon disappears from society, while Ji Won Young is an employee at a large company. Ji Won Young is intent on winning over the heart of Yoon Tae Joon as he's the company chairman's favorite artist. Stars actor Cha Seo Wo and idol Gongchan (maknae of B1A4, welcome to the fray Kpop Gen 2).
Why R U? Korean remake - filming sept 22 Apparently Korea is planning a remake of Why R U? which I find absolutely hilarious. I mean if Korea remakes it, we lose all the sexy and then would we have a story at all. No we would not. It’d be like one of those mesh shopping bags. MaxNat have a cameo.
TAIWAN 2023
Lapluie - Depicts the story of two young men: one who never believes in fate/destiny while the other one is waiting for his soulmate.
Marry My Dead Body - Taiwan Police officer forced to marry a ghost. Movie.
Miracle - High School student goes to jail because of his ganster lover. Or something. https://mydramalist.com/696341-miracle
THAILAND 2023
Are you ready?
2 Worlds (Domundi MaxNat) - Parallel worlds love triangle story with MaxNat as the leads (finally!) PuPa & Kram are in love but PuPa is murdered and Kram is pulled into a parallel world. In that place, 12 years ago, Kram & Tai were in love but Kram was killed by Tai's dad. Now Tai encounters the Kram from another world, what will happen next? Is this a second chance or is Kram sill morning his dead lover, and does Tai need to help him get home or convince him to stay?
A Boss and a Babe GMMTV YouTube (ForceBook) - Chay is a gamer who wants to get big in the e-sports industry. However, his plans are dramatically altered when is made to intern at a company. There his boss Gun has him do some pretty weird errands, confusing Chay about his true intentions.
Be Mine SuperStar (JaFirst) - Filming started Dec 2022 Third-year film student Punn (Ja) gets an internship on the set of a drama. He’s come there to learn from professionals, but what lights his passion even more than the work is leading man Achi, beloved of the nation. Adapted from the novel “The Superstar and the Puppy on Set��� (พี่พระเอกกับเด็กหมาในกอง) by Orpheus, the show has an ensemble cast comprising Ben (2moons2), Bosston (UWMA, Between Us), Jo (War of Y, My Roommate, Make It Right 2), Kokliang and (TharnType, Even Sun).
Be My Favorite AKA You Are My Favorite (GMMTV) YouTube - Adapted from a JittiRain y-novel (2gether) one of those rewrite the past to change the future. Another timeslip? (That’s at least 5 from Thailand in 2022). Trailer features classic tropes: elevator, rooftop assignation, lie on ground. Stars Krist (SOTUS) + Mike Gawin. Who knew Krist would do a BL again? Like seriously?
Bed Friend (Domundi probably for Viki) - Adapted from a Y-novel (same setting as Middleman’s Love) about Uea (reserved and shy and hates players) and King (a big time flirt) who work in the same office and share a best friend. Despite the fact that they don’t really like each other they end up in bed together. This pair was originally supposed to be just side dishes for Middle Love, but it seems they got their own series. Not sure if this is a lesson learned from Why R U?, a lockdown necessity, a shifting to an En of Love model, or if NetJames did so well in rehearsal they earned their own series. They are crazy beautiful together. I think Domundi will use these two to bring higher heat, just like they did with FighterTutor. This series could be good especially as it is based on a book so hopefully it has PLOT. James was Gui’s best friend in Oxygen and one of my top picks at the time to get his own BL. Net was an established actor prior to BL. I am VERY excited about this pair
Big Dragon 2 - whatever
Boy Never Smiles (KimCop trailer) - Follows the story of a young man who travels to the future. To return, he must make that boy smile.

baby bye bye bye
I realized I never posted my screenshots from the beginning of this save, when I was playing Emilia. I wanted to use her to try out the new expansion, so of course the very first thing I did was have her break up with Darrel.
Gemma looks SO amused.
I moved Emilia to her new house in Ciudad Enamorada. She was a little glum at first, but her sad breakup moodlet lasted all of two hours - gotta love the cheerful trait!
She couldn't quite seem to get rid of Darrel, though. As soon as she moved in, Darrel showed up, completely coincidentally taking a nice jog in Ciudad Enamorada, where he had literally no reason to be. NOTHING to do with her.
Then he started storming past her house. Total coincidence. NOTHING to do with her, nope. I cannot emphasize enough the extent to which this was not about Emilia. Outside Emilia's house.
He showed up when she was on a blind date and just sat there flirting with Tess while Emilia tried to enjoy her afternoon.
She ended up ducking out of that date early when she got a call from rich weirdo Lilith - since Emilia was too broke to pay her bills that week, it seemed like a better option. Things weren't going great with Raj anyway - that unflirty trait is rough.
She did end up being able to pay her bills after selling off some of the stuff Lilith gave her. Thanks Lilith! Funny enough, when I was playing the Vatore household later, Lilith got a call from rich weirdo Elle and more or less got her stuff back!
A little after that, Emilia quit her job as a mixologist and started a career as a romance consultant. She needed to watch TV for work but she was too broke to buy one, so I decided it was a great time to check out the gym so she could watch her telenovela while jogging. The gym, oddly enough, was full of mermaids. Only mermaids...
And Darrel.
He didn't try to talk to her. Just stood in naught but a towel outside her shower stall.
DARREL. She's trying to get on with her life. I suggest you do the same.
Still, Emilia and Darrel were still friends despite the breakup, so she extended an olive branch and invited him to magic club. Which turned out to be a TERRIBLE idea.
Yup. Darrel set his ex-fiancee's new house on fire. Look how pleased he looks with himself!
MORGYN. Teaching people how to cast chillio is literally your job. Teaching people to cast inferniate is also your job. You really should be ready to respond to these kinds of situations.
Emilia did learn from Darrel, tho - when she got Crumplebottomed while out on a date with Katrina Caliente, she chose violence.
Eventually, Emilia got a phone call...
I know, taking Darrel back seems like a terrible idea, especially after he set her house on fire. But she's a romance consultant now - she can fix him! A little after this, I hopped over the Vatore household to see what would happen to them when I put neighborhood stories in charge of their relationship. It's not going well :D
In other news, while I was busy with Emilia's house Kristopher adopted THREE TODDLERS IN FIVE DAYS. What the actual fuck Kristopher. Good thing Jacob can sleep on the ground bc he's probably going to have to give up his bedroom.

all this stuff with the stupid moron CEO thing really pisses me off. It's one thing to really celebrate his course of action, but people are really missing the point of why he did what he did. making simping videos, and making him a trend that will eventually settle down until they have something else to do with their pathetic fucking lives. doing it for every single person who got denied treatment and life saving medication because they could not afford it.
my medication I need to keep my disease in check is 11k. There isn't an insurance in the world that will cover the entire thing. I'd be paying over 1k for insurance, and still have to pay over $500 copay for this medication.
my insulin supplies aren't covered by ANY kind of insurance. supplies that HELP make managing diabetes easier isn't covered. you have to pay out of pocket for that shit. my dexcom sensors for 3 are over $400 and my pods??? $500
pods last 3 days only, sensors are 2 weeks and ironically the actual transmitter is the cheapest fucking thing at like $240
i was on Medicaid until June of this year when they cut me off for making $300 more than what I am supposed to on my paychecks.
I have been struggling ever since, and I'd be in a deeper hole if I wasn't able to get financial assistance. but I have four chronic illnesses, 2 of which are still new, and there were times where I thought I was really going to die because i wasn't going to be able to afford my treatments. I cried like a baby when trump won because I still am very unsure of my future with this.
This guy, who by the way, HAS money, was wronged and bullshitted by the same people who try and keep us down is the reason he is being celebrated. because it shows, no one is actually safe from this. and they do it to us just to stay rich. eventually people get tired and these are the things that happen because of that.
its always 'this man had a wife, he had a family' so fucking wHAT. so did everyone you denied with your polices. the ppl who died because of it. i have no sympathy for that man. I will never have sympathy for the rich who seek to step on us, fighting for crumbs while they get to celebrate and live without consequence. this is BTW what helluva boss is about.
when you ask questions about why do ppl have to steal, why do they have to rob and sell drugs, why cant they go to school and make something of themselves have never fucking live in a place where the system is meant to keep you down. when you realize the schools they go are barely funded, they dont got no computers, no one to actually care about helping them succeed. you hear about ppl talk about getting out of the hood, because they WANT these places to stay like this.
my cousin sells drugs and the reason he gave was because it was easier. he has great math skills, but he said no one cared to help him in school, it became too much and he made easier money this way. And its like that for a lot of kids. when they dont have the support they need. from adults, from their own parents. sometimes I wonder, if my parents hadn't moved us to a bougie ass white ppl neighborhood if I would have turned out the same way. cuz i used to fight in school, I was a problem child. and honestly believed I have changed because of the new environment I was now around. when I was in school back then, lmao, I was the only colored person in my class. that shit scared me to death. i learned how to behave. suddenly, i felt like I could do things. it absolutely fucking matters. but America doesnt care. they never will. doesnt mean i'll ever stop yapping about it tho.
#˗ˏˋ ⭐ ˎˊ˗ ─ ooc. ❛ sorry I got a loud mouth ❜#RANT UNDER THE TAGS#IM JUST#THE WORLD ANNOYS ME SO MUVH

X: major MAJOR red flags. All over the place!! I can't imagine voluntarily putting myself in that situation when it is a ticking time bomb and you will have to do all the emotional labor for at least 2 years while listening to her always ranting abour her horrible ex. (There are 2 sides to every story and i suspect she isn't telling you the full truth. She probs doesn't even know it herself. She is telling you a version where she looks like the victim and her wife is the evil master villain). Stay safe. Emotionally blocked AND depressed? No thanks. And she can't drive but is into homesteading? Delusional. Very unserious. I don't care how hot and rich she is, it's not worth it. I speak from experience. Esp about not getting the whole story about the wife. And the ex-marine thing is scary. So many red flags it's amazing.
Y: immature but at least emotionally receptive. She will be eager to please and have enthusiasm still (not as jaded by relationships). Would probs get boring and frustrating to be the mature one all the time tho. And stoners are super boring after the newness wears off. Lack of direction and ambition will mean you do all the financial (and household) work and it will be exhausting to deal with such a child. Lives with mommy and daddy? Doesn't have a real job? Loves drugs? Meh irresponsible and spoiled. But strikes me as having a better, more honest heart than X, from what you have said. And at least she drives and doesn't have the mentality of someone who was trained to kill people for a living.
X will break your heart guaranteed. You will break Y's. Those are my predictions. Best leave them as casual hookups. If you've caught serious feelings, cut it off. Sorry just my 2 cents.
Girl the ex wife IS a villain she literally brought a 22 year old butch into their martial BED and she had to find them together like that, trashed the house daily, never cooked/cleaned, literally everyone in the neighborhood hates her. And shes driving rentals because the bitch took their car and half her bank acct 😭 I feel like if I showed you a photo of her in the marine uniform knowing that she detests the military ideologically and will never be in service again then you would get it, it's like a uniform fetish for me and a ship fetish for her and nothing else. I would rather someone kill animals and process and eat them directly and sell furs than just buy a burger and not give a shit about all the creatures you pay someone else to mass torture and kill for you.
And y is so cute like she's trying and working REALLY hard to impress me at the gym and with her art pieces and is researching how to start a business and studying kinesiology I think she just needs some form of external motivation and guidance? And she's SO funny and matches my silly goofy disposition

actually i do have anecdotal proof that bton made historical market works. And its the fact that i have friends who did like the show, tried to read the books and realized they were ENTIRELY white(even tho the reprint covers obvs lean toward show cast) and then got mad that historicals are all racist. And i cant even correct them in time to tell them its just that bton is a 2 decade old not exactly top tier series 😭😭😭
Honestly, the thing is that there ARE indeed racist historical romances! And the reality is that for some readers, the fact that historical romance primarily has white wealthy landowning heroes (who probably get their wealth by exploiting people) means it'll be a hard stop for them.
Do I think this is at all the reason why MOST people aren't reading it? No. Do I think it's pretty hypocritical to put all of that on historical romance then pick up books about your friendly neighborhood rich redneck who's definitely not MAGA even though he sounds very MAGA, or billionaire romances, without holding them to the same standards? ... I do. I get where the mental block comes from, and it doesn't mean we shouldn't critique historicals. But I think it's an unfair standard to hold one part of romance to and not the other.
The reality is that there are, and have been, historical romances about people of color, usually written by people of color. As many as there should be? Absolutely not. Did those books get a boost when Bton came out? If they did, I haven't really seen it. I've seen more of a presence, but I also think that we were seeing more of a presence begin before Bton. I'm sure Bton resulted in some books getting picked up, but I don't see much follow-through on that promise in tradpub. Which isn't surprising.
And I'll also say... there are plenty of historical readers who absolutely want the white Jane Austen fantasy out of these books, and they are vocal, and they certainly don't make much of a case for newer readers joining the crowd. So that's not very helpful.
But I've heard about a lot of readers who pick Bton up as an entry to historical romance, and they're a) disappointed by the rep not mirroring the show when the covers do b) not into some of the problematic aspects of the books.
... Which I get, but I also must say.... Are we just gonna ignore the fact that season 1 of the show had That Scene? I do sometimes get a little surprised by how much people pearl clutch over pretty innocuous scenes in the books (like, for example, the recent "Michael pressured Francesca into marrying him by baby trapping her" thing, which... is not how that went down.... and cherry-picking quotes from that book doesn't make it what went down lol; and that is undoubtedly the Bton book where the heroine had the most sexual agency, and it's really not close, so to see "Thank God the show is so much better about consent" being slung around during that convo when the show depicted the a white woman raping her Black husband and then blaming him for it... and never apologizing................ was A CHOICE!) but I get that it can be be jarring. The books have some problematic content. Some it squicks me out, and I have a pretty high tolerance for older books.
And then, the reality is that a lot of classic historicals that people who have been reading the genre for years loooove are older books. Not all the content has aged well. I think that for many people who love historical romance and loved those books... they either grew up on them and therefore are used to it, OR they eeeeeased into it and now kinda forget the initial surprise they may have felt. So we're recommending books that aren't entry level to people who may need entry level books. It's not something I would really hold as AT FAULT for, but it does lead to this idea that the subgenre is one thing when it's many things.
Like... I think a perfect series for people who want to get what they liked out of Bton is Adriana Herrera's Las Leonas series. And I don't think we're really giving that series, or others like it, the flowers it deserves.
But also there are books the same age as Bton that I think would be a lot smoother for readers to get into.

Hello! I'm reading one of your fic's on ao3 and was wondering when it's gonna be updated? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fic and wanna know how long until we get a new chapter! Love your writing! And I was so happy to see that you gave Mishima such a cool persona! I love the fic so much! I've been ranting to my friends about it nonstop (even though neither of them have ever played the game) but they both sit there and listen nonetheless! (I may even try and convince them to read it! It's a pretty interesting take on the whole game! And the part where Akira is worried that Mishima will have a problem with him being gay and Mishima just like "If I had a problem with it I would've said something back in kamoshida's palace" was amazing! I love everything about it and I can't explain in words just why I love it so much! It's just amazing! If I was better at art I would LOVE to make some fanart of it!!! Again I can't explain just how much I love it! I hope you're doing well and aren't sick!
(How was the dog sitting by the way? Hope it went well!)
Ahshdjdkjfndbdkjdl thank you??????
I just. *scream*
The idea that people can love a silly little thing I write for fun this much is kinda unreal to me. Idk how to respond???? Thanks????
I mean, I’ve reacted like this to fics I have read before but having it turned into myself is trippy. Like this is some weirdly dream or some shit. Idk man. Shit’s wild.
Every time someone tells me how happy they are about the way I’m treating mishima in my fic I am further convinced that everyone who says he’s a bad character is a fucking coward and if more people would just make Mishima positive content then the fandom would be better off. He does not get enough love and appreciation and I will gladly take on the mantle of Mishima Ambassador. He is my blorbo, my boi, and I love him dearly. He deserves better, both in game and in the fandom, so I just did it myself.
Also, I ain’t about to beg you for fanart because you reading my fic is more than enough already and then you sent me this ask and Ann bear gave me a heart attack from joy, but trust me if you think you’re a bad artist I’ve seen worse. Much, much worse. I took an art class in a very sports heavy highschool and 90% of the kids in there were teenage boys who thought it would be an easy A. The first assignment was to draw a realistic hand. You’d think that they were AI with how bad some of them looked. So yeah, any hypothetical art you make is beautiful to me, especially because I’m fairly sure that if anyone made fanart of my fic I’d cry tears of joy <3
I tried really hard to update every week and I failed miserably, so I’ve made the decision to cut back to every other week. I’m like 85% sure that I’ll get the next chapter up this Sunday. I started my summer classes today and one of them (my English class) is cramming a 14 week course into 4 weeks, but I’ve always been pretty good at English/reading/writing so I’m hoping that that won’t ruin my update schedule AGAIN. I swear I can’t go two weeks without something fucking up my writing/editing time. We’ll see how it goes. I am not sick don’t worry, Just like, super fuckin tired cause my sleep schedule is fucked. I’m pretty good otherwise tho!
Dogsitting went well! I actually finished up with that yesterday. The little demon I was taking care of had absolutely no braincells, and was very annoying, and she kept pooping in my bathroom no matter how often I tried to take her outside to shit, but at least she’s small so it was easy to clean up and she was a good size to cuddle. Overall it was a 5/10 experience that was turned into a 9/10 because of the couple hundred dollar paycheck I got for it. The family I was doing it for is uncomfortably rich lol. Pretty sure some of it is blood money because the dad is an ex-cop turned middle school teacher (neither of which make good money) and the mom is a Russian immigrant stay-at-home mom and they somehow own a huge house in a really nice neighborhood and can afford a two week trip to the Caribbean on that income. I ain’t gonna complain tho.
I’m excited to get chapter 11 written and posted, I think it’s gonna be really fun! Lots of good plot and character development is gonna be happening :) the fic is really picking up now that we’ve finally gotten over all the exposition hurdles. Only took 60k words lol (I swear I thought that it would take half as long as it did to get to this point in the fic, at this rate the things gonna end up 800k words long and I’ll be dead before it’s finished)
#sorry my response got long I had a lot to say#I love you tho#not to get parasocial or anything like I don’t *know* you#imma shut up now before I end up making this post any longer than it already is#randum thots#some fic i wrote#some ask i got

Ngl I wouldn’t mind being rich but idk if I’d wanna change my lifestyle if
I became a millionaire overnight versus just splurging now and then , and be nice to spend time with friends and go shopping without worrying about bills, shame we can’t luck into a nepo baby lifestyle but at the same time that probably would’ve made me worse with money unless some parents send their kids to “poor” neighborhoods or a middle class school versus spoiling them as a kid tho other than some time consuming hobby and being active I wonder how many ppl would like go to Japan to live in that cat island or so
Or being able to like fund a kickstarter from day one if you find interesting projects/inventions
would be nice to have enough money to be able to afford being bad with money 😔
