#not to mention that shirts are undergarments at the time so theres very little on them

[no-light-left-on]

hi prev since u asked I will give a very quick run down of buttons in fashion history - this might not be entirely accurate since I am mostly going by memory on it and buttons are a pretty complex topic overall to cover, but I will try nonetheless!

first thing you need to understand is that buttons are an Incredibly Complex piece of clothing. they were, for a very long time, used as a status symbol and would be used primarily on outerwear like sleeves or coats/jackets. for a very long time they were also fabric/thread covered, so it took a very long time to actually Make buttons themselves, not to mention that button holes were hand-sewn and required several passes of very tight and close together stitches to keep them functional! so to have a shirt that buttons down all the way would be a massive waste of time and money

as mentioned, buttons were for a long time a status symbol, so if your character happens to be a dock worker or a farmer, they would likely not have a button up in the early era of sewing machines (which was invented in the 1750s) though I have seen some Very rare cases of men with a full button down from before. if you look at paintings of the French Revolution, however romanticized they might be, the men are wearing shirts with a slit in the front. of course, with the industrial revolution taking place around the same time things would have gotten easier as manufacturing of buttons became, for the most part, machine-driven, but it still took time.

From the Kyoto Fashion Institute

even if we do see buttons appear on shirts as the 19th century marches on, most of them would end at the point where the waistcoat would end, giving us several buttons but the rest would be plain fabric.

if you want to write button downs all the way I would say start around the last third/last quarter of the 19th century, and adjust your writing in accordance to how close your fantasy world of choice mirrors the period

last but not least, your hot man of choice would likely wear some sort of undergarments Under his sexy button front, so keep that in mind if you wish

1890's ad

which, ironically, tended to be fully buttoned down. do with that information what you will

as of Dishonored I think you're fine ripping those buttoned shirts up as you please, I'm pretty sure we can see some models in the landry piles clutter anyways

as per usual if I got anything wrong please feel free to correct me, men's fashion of the 18th century onwards isn't exactly my thing

he would not fucking say that voice he [historical man of a certain period described taking off his shirt in a piece of writing] would Not have a shirt that unbuttons all the way down

Mixing business with Pleasure

A/N: I hope you guys enjoy. long and smutty.

Based off of this ask.

When you and harry met for the first time, and as cliche as it sounds, you both felt felt an instant connection. The both of you met a couple weeks after he signed his record deal and ever since that day, you guys were pretty much inseparable. You were one of the many people that made up as some would like to call it “The Harry Styles Dream Team”. You pretty much tracked and analyzed his music sales and streaming. Whether it be his song on some commercial or show to album sales, you kept track of all of it. You really enjoyed working with harry and the rest of the team; but more so harry than the others. He never failed to make your job more enjoyable when he came through headquarters. Whenever he was there, he made it his personal mission to stop by your office and sit with you even when you weren’t in the meetings. When you noticed he was always coming to see you whenever he was there, you started to pay a little extra attention to the shared team calendar. Whenever you saw that there were team meetings, you made sure to put a little more effort into your chosen outfit for the day; even if you weren’t required to be there. You just made sure you looked your best, you know, just in case he dropped past your office. Harry even started to spend a little more time in the mirror when he knew he had a meeting at Columbia. Instead of changing his t-shirt before he headed out, he changed his entire outfit before heading out to the routine check-in with the label. Whenever the both of you were in meetings, you never failed to notice his continuous glances at you across the board room table. And he never missed your glances at him across the table.

Today was a little different than normal. You both were in your regular monthly team meeting but the glances you both shared were more intense than usual. When he was talking, all you could think about was what you wanted harry to do to you on this table. You were entranced by the prominent vein running down his neck and how strong and pronounced his jawline was as he talked. You just wanted him to bend you over the table and ram into you over and over again. You watched his hands as he was getting his point across. Instead of waving his hands about over there, you wanted them on you, pinning them down as he continuously pounds into you. if you weren’t drolling already, now you were. “Y/N” one of your coworkers raises their voice to you, knocking you out of your trance. “I know you had something pertaining to album sales and everything like that prepared for today.” Rob says to you from across the table. “Umm…yeah” you say in a flustered manner. You get get up, and as soon as you’re shifting to your feet, you feel dampness between your legs and you bite your lip at the feeling. Once you get your presentation set up, you stand in front of the room. Your eyes land on harry, and your face heats up and your legs get a little weak. He’s leaned back in his chair with a smug smirk spread across his face as if he could read your thoughts. You let out shaky sigh and you go forward with your presentation.

Once you’re done and the meetings over and you make your way to your office to cool down a little. You close your office door and you flop down into your chair and you slump down, letting out a huff before getting yourself together. You sit back up when you hear a heavy knock on the door. When the door opens, harry steps through and and sits in front of your desk. “So, I was wondering if you wanted to grab some dinner with me tonight” he say and leans in with his elbows on his knees. “Im working a little later tonight, I hope thats okay.” “No problem at all” he says and leans in more resting his arms on your desk with is head in his hands. You mimic his actions and you just smile at each other. You both stay this way for a little bit before theres a knock at the door. He straightens up and you both look towards the door. “Hey, sorry to interrupt, but we have to get to another meeting across town, so we better get going” Jeff says poking his head into the office. “I guess I’ll get going then” he says and the both of you stand and up. You both go in for a quick hug. You go to pull away from the hug but harry tugs you back before whispering in your ear. “Ill see you later” he says just below a whisper and he places a peck onto your cheek before pulling away. You send a quick wave to Jeff and you make it back around your desk.

For the rest of the day all you could think about was harry. It was around 6 when harry came back to pick you up for your unofficially official date. The two of you really liked each other, the only thing that was holding the both of you back was the fact that you worked together, and you didn’t want to damage your amazing professional relationship. But tonight, the both of you just decided to throw caution to the wind.

He made his way past security and up to your office, not before stopping at the bathroom and looking over his appearance. He knocks on the edge of your cracked door and steps in and closes it behind him. “Thats not fair, I didn’t get to change” you pout and you start shutting down your computer and tidying up your desk before the long awaited weekend. Once you’re done you grab your purse and you sit on your desk in front of harry. “So, where are we going for this dinner” you mention to harry. “Well I was able to squeeze in a reservation at the Italian restaurant you said you wanted to try.” Your heart swelled at his words. That intensified all of the feelings you had for him already. All you could think was ‘hopefully he feels the same way’. He stands up in front of you and you just stare up at him. He mirrors the same look you have in your eyes and the both of you lean into each other. The kiss feels like a surge of electricity shooting through your body. He cups his hands softly around the space between your neck and cheeks and deepens the kiss. You place your hands on his torso and you let his warm tongue glide between your lips. You let out a slight moan and you pull him closer to you. His hands slide down your body and they make their way down to your hips, and he pulls you closer to the edge of the desk. Your hands slide down a little more and they make their way to the edge of his shirt and they make their way to the waistband of his pants. He lets out a deep moan before he pulls away, leaving you breathless. “In that meeting all I could think about was taking you right against that table, and pounding into you over and over again” he growls and attaches his mouth to your neck. You let out a series of shaky moans before replying. “How about you bend me over this desk” you whisper/moan in his ear. He pulls away from your neck and he lustfully stares at you. You bite your lip and you start to play with the waistband of his pants. He wastes no time pulling you off of your desk and quickly spinning you around and pushing you against it.

He toys with the hem of your dress before pulling it up around your waist. He grips your ass with both of his hands and you moaned at the feeling of his rings against your hot skin. He gives each cheek a harsh slap and you let out a gasp and he let out a deep chuckle before proceeding to your panties. He notices the dampening spot and he presses his two fingers against it. You moan snd you lift up to look behind you, but he quickly presses your upper body back against the desk. He hooks his fingers around the lacy undergarment and he pulls them down your legs. He sees glistening strings of your arousal still attached to your panties and he lets out a moan at the sight. He then swiftly throws them haphazardly across the room. He spreads your legs and spreads your ass to get a better look at your soaked cunt. “So wet for me” he whispers before kneeling in between your legs and licks a stripe up your pussy, tasting your sweet juices. He lets out a moan and he goes deeper into you. Your moans turn intwines as you feel his scruff rubbing against you. “Fuck, please, I need you inside me” you whine and you push back against his mouth. “Taste so good” he muffles into you before standing back up behind you. You hear the fabric of his pants rustling behind you and you hear his pants hit the floor. He grabs your hips and he pushes his clothed cock against your bare cunt. The both of you moan and he swiftly pulls back before shoving his boxers down. He tugs on his cock before brushing his cock up and down your folds, painting his cock with your arousal. Without warning, he pulls back and slams his cock into your sopping hole. You let out a loud moan at the feeling of him stretching your hole to fit his massive cock inside you. He pulls out of you, just leaving the head in. “You want me to pound you into this desk?” He whispers pressing a hand on your lower back. You emit a yes in the form of a yes, and you hear him mumble a “Ill pound you into the desk alright” and thats when he snapped his hips up into yours. He continuously hammers into over and over again. You feel him deep inside of you and your toes curl at the pleasure. You try to grab onto something but instead its only making a bigger mess on the desk. “Such a pretty and tight cunt baby, gonna cum all my cock for me baby” he moans as he hits that soft and very sensitive spot deep inside you. At that moment you completely let go. You let out a series of loud moans, as you completely let go around him. “Thats it baby, cum on my cock” he pants as his thrusts begin to get sloppy, and his grip on your hips tighten as he nears his own release. “Where do you want my cum baby” he moans as he continues to thrust in and out go you. “Fuck, cum inside me” you moan in response. Those three words make his head spin and he lets go inside of you. He’s still slowly pushing into you, making sure his cum reaches the deepest part of you. You whimper at the feeling of his warm cum painting your walls. As he nears the end of the mind-blowing orgasm, his grip on you softens and he leans down with his cock still inside of you and he presses a kiss agains the back of your neck and you smile at the gesture. “Im going to pull out now” he say lowly. He slowly pulls out of you and you whimper at the lost feeling of fullness. But its quickly replaced with a moan when you feel his cum leaking out of you. He quickly goes to grab you panties and he slides them back up your legs that no more of his cum leaks out of you. He pulls his pants up and he helps you off the desk.

He pulls you down slowly and he leans against the desk with you wrapped up in his arms. “Well if I knew mixing business and pleasure with you was so good, I would’ve done it a long time ago” he whispers and you hit his chest. “What, that was the best sex I’ve ever had. Plus, the fact that I really like you makes this 100 times better” he whispers and places a kiss on your head and rubs your back. “I really like you too you whisper into his chest. You stay in this comfortable position with harry for a few minuets before you break the silence. “Im hungry” you mumble and you look up at him with a pout. He unwraps his arm from around you and checks his watch. “Well, were way past our reservation, but its a diner a couple blocks away from here” he says and peers down at you for a response. “That fine with me” you say to him before you grab your purse. He helps you clean up the mess you two made on your once tidy desk and you two head out. He intertwines your hands and the two of you share light kisses in the elevator down to the lobby. You step out of the building into the warm New York air and he ushers you to his car. He quickly opens the door for you and he jogs around to his side before getting in and speeding off. When you get to the diner you’re able to score a booth in the back so that the two of you can have some privacy. For the rest of the night the two of you stay cuddled up into each other, eating, laughing, sneaking kisses, and just enjoying your time together.

And when it came to you guys’ little rendezvous in you office, and the way he pounded you into your desk; it was only a taste of what was to come once you made it back to his place. He gave you more pleasure than you ever knew you could feel. Lets just say that you were very thankful that it was Friday, because if it wasn’t, you were definitely going to need to call out the next day.

[chiawrites]

can you do like maybe just maybe nsfw alphabet but with EDDIE BROCK k thnkx bysies!

!! Yes I can and I certainly have so here we go 

Pairing: Eddie Brock x Fem!Reader, generally gender neutral except for B 

Word count: 1691

Warnings: NSFW, DO NOT SCROLL IF YOU’RE IN A PUBLIC PLACE lmao 

Tags: anon and my little venomfuckers 

A- Aftercare

Considering that this man is literally a loveable mess, he’s sweet as FUCK when it comes to aftercare. He’ll make sure to clean you up, reluctantly hand over one of his sweaters, and spoon you till you both fall asleep. He likes being the little spoon, (although he will NEVER tell you that) but when he’s the big spoon he’s very protective. Usually spooning leads to second rounds if you’re the little spoon. Just think of the “how to spoon: dick hard on the butt, tiddy in my hand” video of Anakin Skywalker lmao 

B- Body Part 

Well, see, a bi man will be a bi man, and Eddie, loving women, will definitely love your breasts. He likes peppering kisses across them during and after sex, and leaving little suckle marks. He most certainly has an issue with leaving hickies everywhere boobs are concerned. That and your hands, your nails, and any other part of your body that you use to leave marks on him. He likes it when you drag your nails down his back and leave red streaks from pressing too hard, or when you dig your fingers into his hair while his lips graze your neck. 

C- Cum 

This man is definitely not clean. Depending on if you use birth control or not, he prefers being able to get messy with you than wear a condom. In all honesty, the thing that turns him on the most is probably seeing you dripping from his own seed. 

D- Dirty Secret 

Oh-hoho he would never be able to muster up the courage to tell you but this man loves it when you’re on top. Not just because he has a front row seat to your body on display, but he’s aroused by the idea of you being dominant. It’s always been a kink of his to be tied down, albeit he hasn’t experienced it often. Back when he was with Anne, they experimented drunkenly maybe once, but never after that. 

E- Experience 

He isn’t as experienced as you’d think. Obviously he’s had sex before, he’s not a damn virgin, but he’s not much of a fan of one-night stands; so he hasn’t gotten around enough to know all the tricks of the trade. That said, he enjoys learning what makes you tick, and what pleases you. 

F- Favourite Position 

Cowgirl or doggystyle, hands down. Eddie loves having you on top, obviously. Seeing your breasts bounce every time your bodies thrust together, oh lord it makes him harder. He also loves doggystyle because of how you crumple face first into the pillow and try to muffle your moans for the neighbours. His favourite part about doggystyle is the control he has of your hips, grasping them and leaving crescent dents where his nails dug into your flesh. He loves seeing your ass in the air, just for him. 

G- Goofy 

This man is a goof. That’s it. His best jokes are always told when he’s pounding you from behind, gripping you tight.  

No but on a more professional note- during foreplay, he loves to make you laugh. Seeing you enjoy yourself is the best part of sex, for him. He cannot stand uncomfortable and quiet nights of sex and nothing else. If theres no comical connection, it’s a turn off. 

H- Hair 

He’s not hairless like a siamese cat, but he prefers to trim himself at least once a week. Don’t ask him to shave down there, though, because even for you, he wouldn’t suffer being itchy and uncomfortable. 

I- Intimacy 

This guy is a hopeless romantic. Eddie will definitely tell you sappy stories about how much he loves you and what he would do for you. Sex isn’t purely sex just for pleasure for him, its a bond, and a sensual act that he uses to show how much he cares for you (and who exactly you belong to, but that’s on his top nights.) After sex, if you’re not immediately knocked out, he likes having long conversations with you on existentialism. He also loves the sound of your voice, and when you go on passionate rants about your interests. 

J- Jack Off 

There’s nothing I could write here that would even possibly be safe for work haha nice 

Ever since the two of you got together, he hasn’t had much need, nor opportunity to masturbate. When he does, it’s only because he’s pent-up and you’re gone. 

He prefers to watch you please yourself, if anything. The sight of you, probably thinking about messing around with him, getting off by yourself? God damn 

K- Kinks

It’s been mentioned before but Eddie is a sucker for being tied down, tied up, and just generally bound. Whether its you tying him down, or him tying you down, he’s game for it. The idea of being restrained and forced to watch, but not touch is what makes him tick. 

Another thing is size. He likes his partners smaller than him, so it’s easy to throw them over his shoulder and lift into different positions with ease. Eddie likes the idea of having to bend to reach your lips, or you having to go on your tips of your toes to press kisses to his neck. 

L- Location 

Eddie prefers the bedroom. He likes secluded places and comfortable surfaces to have sex on, namely his bed or yours. That said, he definitely is turned on by the risk of being caught if you two decide to have a quickie in a public place. 

M- Motivation 

The thing that gets him going is the anticipation of what’s to come. He likes teasing and being teased. He especially likes it when you send him pictures of you in lingerie. Not naked, but in undergarments, because it’s similar to the idea of unwrapping a gift. Eddie likes to use his imagination as motivation. Usually he starts thinking of various fantasies or past sexual encounters with you and he’s ready for another round. 

N- No 

Anything that has to do with abuse or non-consent role-play is an instant turn off. He refuses to hit you in any way, and dislikes the idea of gagging and/or blindfolding either of you. He likes to see your eyes and hear your whimpers anyways :-)

O- Oral 

Giving or receiving, he’s good either way. He prefers giving, though. The thought of your thighs wrapped around his head, hands grasping at his hair as your hips move against the movements of his mouth? God yes. 

Although he prefers being generous and considerate, Eddie won’t refuse head. 

P- Pace 

Eddie likes to start off slow, enjoying the way his thrusts feel inside you. But when you both start to get undone, there’s no limit to how much he’ll speed up. He isn’t often rough and quick, but when he is, it makes the climax all that more blissful. 

Q- Quickie 

He will do quickies if he or you are in a hurry, but he prefers the full time allowance. When you’re doing quickies, he prefers to pin you up on the wall of wherever you both are, and push into you from underneath. Your legs around his waist, pulling him in, prompt him to go faster. 

R- Risk 

Risk-taking is thrilling and sometimes exciting, but when it comes to extreme risk, like doing it in a public washroom or something of sorts, count him out. Since sex is an intimate act for him, the idea of other people spying and/or watching you two going at it for their own pleasure is a no-no. 

S- Stamina 

Eddie can last a long time before climaxing. That said, once he does, it’s unlikely he’ll go past two rounds. Sex can be anywhere between five minutes to thirty minutes, if the foreplay is good and lasts long enough. 

T- Toys 

The both of you don’t own many toys. He’s not exactly a fan, because he feels that genuine sex is better than silicon sex, but the few times he’d seen you getting off my yourself with a vibrator made him change his mind a little. Sometimes, when he’s going down on you, he’ll break out the vibrator along with his mouth and watch you go crazy for it. 

W- Wild Card 

He loves seeing you dressed up. Anything that’s tight around your ass, or that shows your cleavage will make it hard for him to keep his hands off you. 

When it comes to being dressed up in lingerie, he prefers black or red. Those colours are undeniably sexy, for some subconscious reason. Eddie adores seeing you in slightly see-through lace, and gets handsy when you start to strip for him. That man will not deny a good striptease. 

X- X-ray 

Let’s see inside his pants, shall we? 

Some would argue he’s the perfect size. 7 inches hard, thick enough to fill you up but not thick enough to hurt. 

If he really wanted to, he could potentially get Venom to give him a size upgrade :-D

Y- Yearning 

When Eddie really wants you, he’ll let you know. A hand on your thigh when you’re both eating out and you aren’t being innocent, a kiss to your jawline when you bring him meals at work and are dressed up and showing off while pretending like you’re in casual clothes, a long, passionate embrace when you leave in the mornings to go to your job- they’re all little signs that it’s going to get extremely heated later. 

Z- Zzz

It doesn’t take the two of you long to fall asleep after sex. Sometimes if he’s still hard and you’re still awake, he’ll pull your back into his chest and lazily fuck you from behind. Usually you both fall asleep spooning, but on some occasions you’ve found your front glued to Eddie thanks to his arms pinning you in place at your waist, your faces only inches apart. Sleeping alongside him is more often than not a tangle of limbs and skin on skin. He prefers sleeping naked, because the skin contact helps comfort him, but otherwise he sleeps in a pair of boxers and a loose tee-shirt.
