[Two images of Bake-Off judges Ben Kenobi and Satine Kryze on set in the iconic tent. The first image is several years old; the tent’s pastel banners indicate that it’s from the first series. Here, Ben and Satine both smile as they pose in front of a baking station. Satine is a tall, slender white woman with a wavy blonde updo who is wearing a dark teal dress and jade jewellery. Ben, a white man whose dark blonde hair and beard verge on ginger, is slightly taller and wears fitted dark jeans and a charcoal-grey sweater with a blue chambray collar popping out at the neckline. He is slender but for a slight paunch around his middle. In the second image, they stand in a similar pose, though this time they’re smiling at each other, rather than the camera. Satine looks largely the same, while Ben is much, much heavier. His smile emphasises his round cheeks, and his double chin is just visible beneath his beard. He wears a dark green sweater and his jeans are of a similar wash to the first picture. His clothes fit him well and don’t attempt to hide his plump belly and thick hips. One chubby arm rests around Satine’s shoulders. He’s too round for his other arm to sit flat against his side. The purple of Satine’s dress is just visible behind Ben’s bulk, as if she has her hand in his back pocket.]

Ok but I actually do want to talk about Ben Kenobi from GBBO bc I think it’s cool that they don’t really treat/shoot/talk about him differently even though he’s gained weight. I can count on one hand the number of fat people I’ve seen on TV who tick all of the “actually fat not just Hollywood fat,” “well-dressed and respected and not treated as a slob,” and “considered to be at least generally handsome by the narrative” boxes at once. And it’s so refreshing to (a) see a celebrity chef who actually looks like they eat/enjoy food and (b) see a fat person get to talk about and eat and enjoy food on TV without it being stigmatized somehow! If I had to guess I’d put him around 350-ish lbs (~158 kg or 25 st for my non-USAmerican followers) and that just feels REVOLUTIONARY for mainstream TV! If he were in a sitcom he would get pigeonholed into some stupid weight loss storyline like that poor beautiful girl from that other show and here in the tent he just gets to be an expert in his craft and have insane chemistry with his costar who obviously thinks he’s the hottest thing since sliced bread and I LOVE IT.

NOT TO MENTION that how refreshing it is to (a) see a celebrity chef who actually looks like they eat/enjoy food and (b) see a fat person get to talk about and eat and enjoy food on tv without it being stigmatized somehow?? And idk it just gets me that they have clearly made accommodations for him (ie chair, more fans during hot weather, fiddly stuff on edges got rearranged after he bumped into Jocasta’s jar of flour) rather than having him lose weight or something. His contract must be absolutely insane but clearly someone is fighting for him and I love when you can kind of see it bleed through from behind the scenes

#like it means so much to me #as a very fat person who also bakes for a living #my personal headcanon is that satine is his pit bull for stuff like this but obviously i have no proof lol

[An image of Ben Kenobi and Satine Kryze on the set of Bake-Off, discussing who will win Star Baker and who will be eliminated this week. Satine, a thin, blonde, white woman, sits in a delicate white chair with curly armrests at a round table draped in a robin’s egg blue tablecloth. Ben, a fat white man with strawberry-blond hair and a beard, sits across the table from her in a much sturdier-looking white chair without armrests. Between them are the four remaining contestants’ bakes from today’s challenges. Satine’s chair is pulled in close to the table, and her elbows rest on the tabletop, but Ben sits back in his chair, his ample belly filling his lap.]

[A photoset of six screencaps from series 5 of Bake-Off. The photoset is captioned “Satine Kryze gracefully white-knuckling her way through feedist hell 1/???” Top left: Satine and Ben Kenobi listen as Kit Fisto describes his signature bake. Ben’s big belly rests on the counter of Fisto’s baking station. Satine looks perfectly normal except that she is clutching a rolling pin for literally no reason. Top right: Ben cutting himself a sizable second slice of Barriss Offee’s pineapple upside-down cake with his free hand resting on the plump curve of his belly. Satine, just visible behind him, is smiling with her mouth while her eyes do a thousand-yard stare. Middle left: Ben smiles good-naturedly as he brushes powdered sugar from near the hemline of his sweater and accidentally reveals a sliver of the bottom curve of his belly, straining against the pale blue button-down he’s wearing underneath. Satine is all the way across the tent, but she’s looking at him nonetheless. Middle right: Satine and Ben sitting across from each other at the judges’ table after the showstopper, mid-conversation. Ben is very clearly too big for the little white garden chairs but is valiantly wedged in despite the fact that the armrests are basically lost in his side rolls and his hips are so wide that they’re overflowing the seat. Ben is carefully leaning forward to pull a plate toward him, while Satine holds a knife and fork and has cut the petit four on her plate into about eighteen pieces. Bottom left: Ben with his eyes closed in pleasure after taking a bite from one of Steela Gerrera’s signature hazelnut-cardamom creme brulees. Satine is looking on perfectly affably, but host Anakin Skywalker is looking at her with one eyebrow pointedly raised. Bottom right: Ben and Satine sit at the judges’ table, a split second before that really obvious cut. Ben is spilling out of his little garden chair and his face shows a look of slightly panicked surprise. Satine is just starting to jump up from her own chair, one hand thrown out toward Ben like a life raft. The fingers of both her hands are splayed wide, and although it’s not verified by the episode’s subtitles or closed captions, her mouth forms a word that looks a lot like “Fuck!”]

What are your favorite Logan and/or Loscar pics?

++ do you have any where Logan is actually smiling with his teeth? I love his smile so much but everytime he sees a camera he does exactly this face :)

i love getting these asks. yes i want to talk about logan for an unnecessary amount of time. yes i will show you pictures of him. this is the greatest day of my life. ik you did not ask for commentary you just asked for pictures but the commentary is included for free thanks for coming

i have so many logan pics… easy answer is they’re all my favorite which is real but i won’t be annoying. also applies to loscar. let’s go. i will give both logan and loscar pics and YES i definitely have some where he's smiling with his teeth i will include (+ if you have not seen my thesis yet i have some real insanity about his smiling tendencies)

anyways. here u go

okay first is this picture bc it's been in my favorites album forever and i think. this is the third time i've been asked for my favorite logan pictures and i always include this one. great merch shoot all around i owe my life to whoever decided it was a good idea to put him in a sleeveless shirt

something about this fucking polo shirt man... i remember seeing a video clip of him walking into the paddock and being like omg the fucking polo shirt. and i took some really horrible quality screenshots. so the actual photo of him is great for my business... and this is monaco fyi

bahrain press con loscar... there r many images from this press conference that i enjoy but here's the two of them gayly staring at each other. and thank god for oscar piastri in shorts great for my business (i want to bite his thighs)

my friend described this once as "the picture where oscar has fully given up" (implied on acting straight) and i think about that a lot

more recent loscar. spectacular work. i love this picture so much it's my banner or whatever on here... and it includes some logan smiling with his teeth. more oscar giving up. really good all around thank you whoever decided mclaren and williams should be paired up here again there are other images from this fanzone thing that i love but this one is my fav

kyle... logan kyle... my favorite florida boys... another one that i'm like. i can't not include it. this one is my banner on twitter (NOT X) and i still love it to tiny little pieces. even if logan is in ultimate Smiling For The Camera Mode i just think he is neat. hockey guy. also hearing kyle talk about this night amuses me bc he called logan a superstar

so. yeah i don't know. something something hometown boy... florida man... special helmet et cetera. he clearly just got a haircut before miami and it's really apparent in all of these shoot photos ANYWAYS this is my favorite picture from his helmet shoot. this or the one of him and benny and benny's wife that is not from the shoot actually it was just on benny's instagram but it makes me smile

his suit does him well. Next

h. for one he looks very impeccably like a ken doll in the first one then the second angle where he's smiling with teeth... very important. i love him so very much i will put him in my pocket goodbye forever

more of him laughing w alex for Reasons. his tendency to touch with the back of his hand... especially while laughing... let's not get into that. bonus austin 2022 bc i am still amused by the fact that alex was against logan in that head2head for some inexplicable reason. it was never acknowledged. latifi just was not there

I JUST THINK HE'S CUTE.

peak logan smile. he's so perfect. Goodnight. actually here's a bunch of random shit i like:

i hit the image limit. thanks man

[flowersfortheghost]

okay how do you make your posts look so cool when you post a new story

Like this one https://www.tumblr.com/flowersfortheghost/759060952717082624/%CB%8F%CB%8B-i-wouldnt-love-you-not-in-this-universe-or?source=share

HOW DO YOU MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE THAT

Can you tell me please 🙏

omg ty for saying its cool😭

and of course i'll show you! im not sure what u wanted to know specifically, so i just gave quick explanations for everything lmao

for my cover/banner thing, i use Canva to make them. i get all my images from Pinterest my lyrics from YouTube Music (since spotify decides to put lyrics behind a paywall🙄). here's a few examples of those:

i get my symbols like the stars and sparkles that are highlighted in the first image below from this website. there's a lot of cool stuff on there that you can use and i always go there for this kind of stuff.

then here's how to add a link to text like i've highlighted in the second image on top.

on tumblr, write whatever text you wanna write and highlight it. then, click the little link symbol i've highlighted in the image below and a box should show up where you can paste the link to whatever you wanna link.

the links to my fics are usually in bold and my summaries and in italics, which i highlighted in my first image below.

i also usually put my summaries in the Indented thing, which you can find with the button highlighted in the second image below.

i hope this helps and i was glad to help you out 💕💕

[elmaxlys]

when you do the sexyman poll banners you gotta include Hide with his face eaten off, bc I think that was very sexy of him

(omg you should pit him and that investigator without the lips against eachother lol)

I agree on the scarred face, but there aren't many proper panels of that iirc and it'd be boring to have always the same image for the banners. However I have no doubt he'll make it to more than 1 round so I'll make sure to use it at least once ;)

As for Hachi.. I'll see if I can arrange the poll so that they meet if they both win some rounds but I just know Hachi's losing against The Hide, you know? And he's in my Top 5 sexiest TG men so I am not putting him against Hide in the first round if I can help it lol (that said, i have not yet done the bracket so who knows)

[aloneinthehellfire]

SO i literally just watched the trailer video and WOWOWOWOW duffers need to hire u fr

MY THEORY: the first image that showed up was of reader (i think) and then there was an overlay of something on it which (if my investigate skills are correct) someone with blood??? BUT WAIT THATS NOT ALL

there was also another photo of blood soaked hands later on and OMG OMG THERES EVEN MORE

in the photo you posted for like the banner thingy for pt2 you changed the images beside vecna and reader and like vecna's side had max floating BUT readers side had someone stood in the doorway with something that looks like the mind flayer???

If anyone has a better phone than me LOL they should try and zoom in cause i could see other stuff but my phone takes forever to load anything 😭

i think reader is gonna kill someone. like there are too many chapters for reader to die (unless u write in other pov which would be a plot twist) reader is gonna kill someone close to her and be traumatised bc if u do anything its make me cry fr (ily)

interesting...

Self-Publishing Thoughts #5: Wide Distro & How to Upload

Okay, so I’m not going to cover every aspect of distributing your book wide. There are so many options and so many things to consider. I’ll just cover the basics here. 

For more resources on this, check out this post.

What Does ‘Wide’ Mean?

Going ‘wide’ means that you’re not publishing through only one distributor. For a lot of people, that one distributor is Amazon (specifically KDP, Kindle Direct Publishing). 

Why Go Wide?

Some authors in certain niches can do very well with one distributor! One example is romance authors & Kindle Unlimited, or KU. Romance readers devour books there, and you get paid per page read if you enroll in KU. The issue with KU is that it’s exclusive- you can’t have your e-book anywhere else.

The general idea behind going wide is that you’re not putting all your eggs in one basket. If your distributor starts changing the algorithm or rules against you, or goes down entirely, you’re not as impacted.

Another benefit to going wide is that you can take advantage of various promos and sales happening across the various platforms. You can also reach a wider audience!

But How, Though?

Oh gosh. There are so many possible avenues here, and there are many schools of thought. I’ll show you two main routes.

#1: Using an Aggregator (Ingram Spark or Draft2Digital)

IngramSpark (IS) and Draft2Digital (D2D) are the biggest aggregate distributors for indie authors. They take your book and handle the upload to all the major retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Kobo.

Now, they do take a cut, and IS also charges to upload, but in terms of making your life easier? They’re a good option.

(Note: Amazon tends to prefer its own products, and doesn’t play nice with the aggregators. It’s recommended that even if you use IS or D2D, upload to Amazon separately. Will cover that later.)

#2: Going Direct

‘Going direct’ means that you’re uploading your book separately to the major retailers. Uploading to Amazon, uploading to B&N, uploading to Apple, etc.

The benefit here is that there’s no middle-man, and thus you make more money. However, it is more work.

What are YOU Doing?

Aw, thanks for asking! I’ve decided to do the following for The Stray Spirit:

e-book and paperback on KDP

paperback on IngramSpark

e-book on Draft2Digital

The reasons for this are:

KDP is still a massive market

IngramSpark does NOT handle e-books well, so I did print-only

conversely, Draft2Digital is still in beta stage for handling print, so I did e-book only

The ISBN Upload Issue...

If you trawl through the various indie author FB groups, Reddit pages, etc, you’ll find that a lot of folks have trouble uploading their books across multiple retailers when going wide. Some of the sites claim the ISBN is already in use, when in theory, you should be able to use the same ISBN for the same book and book type across all retailers.

Here’s what I did when uploading to the three companies stated above, and I haven’t had an issue so far:

Start the upload process to KDP. Get to the end, then Save as Draft.

In a new tab, start the upload process to IngramSpark. Get to the end, then Save as Draft.

In a new tab, start the upload process to D2D. Get to the end, then Save as Draft.

Once you’re confident you’ve got all your ducks in a row across each site:

Hit Publish on KDP first. Remember, Amazon does not play nice with others, so do what it wants first.

Then hit Publish on IngramSpark.

Then hit Publish on D2D.

If you are going direct to more retailers, this gets more complicated. For example, B&N also doesn’t play nice with others. I believe you have to publish that in between KDP and IS, but don’t quote me on that.

Omg my head is spinning

Yeah, same, buddy.

I’d recommend sorting out what type of distro is right for you & your genre. Keep both money and ease of use in mind. I chose not to go direct to all major retailers because I’d very quickly go bananas and give up.

Thanks for reading this far! If you’ve got going-wide stories, feel free to rb and share them!

IT WAS 2AM WHEN I SENT THAT SO I HELD BACK MY SIMPING FOR COLLEGE ALBEDO A LITTLE. tried not to send all my brainrot so I didn't just send a wall of text into your inbox LOL. Some others I thought of were:

- Mona giving astrology forecasts and compatibility readings in this au and Albedo may have asked her about the two of you

- Going to botanical gardens or museums with Albedo but for some reason it feels like a date even when it didn't intent to be. You tug on his sleeve now and then when you see something he might be interested in or even when it's something that excites you, and Albedo can't help but have a soft look in his eyes that he can share this moment with you! Somehow it results in the two of you holding hands - just so neither of you stray from each other of course - and eventually, intertwined fingers. You hear someone say that the two of you seem like a cute couple and you know Albedo heard it too, but neither of you say anything. You feel his hand squeeze yours a little tighter and respond in kind. The two of you are too embarrassed to look at each other but can't help the smiles on your faces.

- Lending Albedo some of your favourite books for pleasure reading and you've left tiny tabs on lines that you like. Perhaps this is before Albedo realizes his feelings so when he reads particularly romantic lines, he wonders if this is how he feels about you. Or did you mark these pages because you feel this way about someone? His stomach is in knots to the thought that you may be intrested in someone that isn't him and he settles for it just being prose.

WHAT YOU WROTE WAS SO CUTE AAA. THANK YOU FOR SIMPING FOR COLLEGE BEDO WITH ME!!

Tugging his hand and not letting go omg . . . you tend to just intertwine pinkies or play with his fingers absent-mindedly that Albedo becomes so accustomed to it so he starts to offer you his hands without a second thought.

WAIT. I gasped at Albedo being a cuddler. He's a little delirious when he first wakes up but you're so comfy that he hugs you a little tighter, asking if you've slept well. You try to reply while worrying about whether or not he can feel your heart thrumming in your chest.

What if Klee is staying with Albedo one night and the three of you fall asleep cuddled up together. Alice comes back early in the morning before any of you are awake and takes a picture. She sends it to Albedo later and he sets it as his phone's wallpaper.

Albedo staring at your lips winded me, thank you.

YES TO THE SWEATERS. I bet Albedo would have the softest and coziest sweaters too! Imagine it being a little cold out and you see Albedo across campus so you bound over to him and give him a hug. You nuzzle into him and mumble out a little 'hello' and say he's warm. You feel his laugh rumble through his chest while he greets you back, wrapping his arms around you

And I LOVE ALL YOUR HEADCANONS! I believe I found your blog around the time you posted Albedo's snort headcanon and it was too much for my heart!! I held tight to that headcanon and never let go lol. I also thought the science + college headcanons you had of him were really nice despite not being necessarily romantic!

Side note: I looked up that lobster fact and that's so cool!!

The Lobster Fact(tm) is my go-to ice breaker and it always fails. I'd imagine it's normally the same w/ Bedo OTL so sad...not many wish to know about potential lobster immortality.

I'm glad that you love the headcanons though!! I enjoy writing for Albedo so so much as you can tell ehe

That being said--if it makes you more comfy to send stuff in a few bursts of asks, I don't mind :DD I'll answer them as usual nodnod

OKIE DOKIE

-

"...Mona, yes?"

"Ah, I was expecting you to come around sooner or later, Kreideprinz."

Really, Albedo didn't mean to stumble upon the Astronomy major, but for some reason the thought of you has been on his mind and the campus' observatory just so happened to be on the way. With the meager hope that...maybe he'd find some sort of answer (in what, he wasn't really sure himself), there she was.

Luckily, she knew just what he was there for.

The moment that she twirls her hand with a wave, telling him that there isn't anything to worry about, the apprehension creeping within his chest at the thought of seeing you next-

disappeared.

It's not often that he turns to less orthodox methods, but he wouldn't lie. Knowing that--at least in Mona's opinion (which tended to be correct, anyway)--the two of you were undoubtly compatible? Something about how your constellations were intertwined...

In fact, Albedo turns a little theory around in his mind. Though based in old folktales, the idea that you gravitate towards those who are made of the very same stardust as yourself, suddenly made sense.

Or, perhaps he was just being hopeful.

-

Little does he know that you most definitely asked Mona about the same thing earlier that day.

-

AHHHHH BUT OF COURSE-

Any of those kinds of places--Botanical Gardens, Art Museums, Aquariums, Zoos, Museums in general--Any place where you're able to utterly lose yourself in your surroundings and look around in awe, really, are your go-to date outing destination!

Usually, it's just the two of you, maybe with Sucrose or Timaeus if it's for a particular class, as well as the occasional Klee in tow whenever Alice is busy with work.

But in this case, fingers interlocked, it's just the two of you on a impromptu trip to the art museum downtown after seeing a promotional banner about a new exhibit. Once inside, you rush along, Albedo trailing close behind with a light squeeze of your hand. The large area used for temporary exhibits isn't far from the entrance, so it's not long until you skid to a stop.

All along the walls are incredibly detailed oil paintings, the thin layered strokes glistening in the light. Albedo takes a moment to whisper to you about how oil paint works.

Due to the thinness of the paint and it's transparency, light passes through every carefully placed stroke, allowing for a unique sort of depth that isn't achievable with other painting media. You smile, the artificial light of the art exhibit making your features glow and Albedo can't help but wonder if you are like those paintings.

So complex, so carefully created in an image perfected with time. Your eyes search his and you say his name and Albedo clears his throat when he realizes he's been staring.

"Do you like this one?"

Ah, you must've assumed he took a liking to this particular painting.

His eyes shift back to it, taking in the sight of the balance of color, the composition, then back to you. He only stares a second longer before nodding.

Whether or not you realize the view he likes is you is something that he dwells on as you both make your way to the next painting.

-

If you had a penny for every time that someone comments on the way you compliment each other, you'd probably be able to pay off your tuition for next semester.

Okay, perhaps not, but the idea still stands.

You're only just at the end of the art exhibit when the security guard wishes the two of you a lovely date. Something about how young love is something to be treasured, something about how the two of you already seem so natural and comfortable in each other's presence.

Before you can mumble out an explanation, Albedo just squeezes your hand, gentle as always, and smiles.

It's a compliment, right? For someone to see how close you are, even if you really are just friends, is a good thing.

Ignoring the warmth that spreads over your cheeks, you smile and turn your head away shyly. Squeezing his hand back, the thought of what it'd be like if you were together crosses your mind.

-

Just as you lend books to him, he lends books to you. Surprisingly, this time it just so happens to be a poetry book--something that you expressed interest in a week ago but ended up not getting.

Within, he's left colorful notes with his neat, slanted writing.

Short discussions (presumably questions to himself) of what the poet must've been thinking, different possible scenarios, are peppered throughout the book. But one just so happens to catch your eye. Rather than a question, it's a statement. Simple, short, and...sweet.

'You carry the aura of the stars.'

The little yellow sticky note pasted beneath a love poem to the night sky stands out. Suppressing a flutter in your chest, you continue reading through the poem book with a few giggles at Albedo's musings until you find a note with most of the words crossed out.

It's entirely unlike him, the way that the dark ink scribbled over the words, making them illegible.

But at the bottom was a continued attempt--one you presume he was satisfied with by the way it lay pristine on the colorful paper.

'You look. I fail to speak.

Your mind, so brilliant as it is I wish to see behind To further appreciate the one I love.

I can only hope one day you shall let me in, So for now I wait patiently by your side.'

Who could he have written this for? You can't help but stare at the poetic attempt, knowing full well that Albedo seldom does something without meaning.

The book closes and you tuck it back on the shelf to ask about later.

-

AAAAA YESYESYESYES I LOVE THAT CUDDLE PILE W/ ALBEDO AND KLEE

Even though Albedo's a grade A student and certified genius (he's adamant in his denial, shaking his head and mumbling about how he just studies hard), he's not entirely a stickler for rules.

Well, that is, Aunt Alice's suggestion that Klee goes to bed by 9.

Instead, the three of you settle in the common room of Albedo's place in a bundle of pillows and blankets at the demands of a pillow fort.

The tv blinks on accompanied by the near silent click of the remote.

"What should we watch?"

Klee always ends up picking the movie. This time, she wants Alice in Wonderland, commenting on how the bunny is like her best friend Dodoco and the blonde girl on screen is named after mommy. Albedo doesn't bother correcting her, even though he knows quite well that dear, sweet Dodoco is a chinchilla.

Between sips of juice and a few mouthfuls of popcorn, the three of you fall asleep, Klee curled up besides you and Albedo's arm draped over you both.

Even when the sun is up in the sky, you sleep peacefully.

So, naturally, Aunt Alice has a spare key just in case something like this happens.

Immediately she's met with the sweetest view--her two kids (she's practically adopted Albedo as her own at this point) and--

Hiding a cheeky smile behind her hand, Alice can't help but sneak a little closer when she spies the way that you and Albedo somehow gravitated closer, his face buried in your hair and yours resting against his collar. Wedged between you with tousled hair, Klee snoozes peacefully.

She snaps a picture, followed by another, and another, and a fourth for good measures before meandering into the kitchen to prep something for breakfast.

Might as well let her three favorite people enjoy the comfort of sleep for a little longer...

You wake up the moment that Klee wiggles her way out of the blankets, nuzzling against the warmth radiating under your cheek.

Nice and cozy. Smells nice...wait.

Eyes fluttering open, you're met with a familiar birthmark and the nearly gone scent of Albedo's cologne.

You nearly pull away until the arm, now wrapped around your waist, pulls you closer accompanied by a satisfied sigh. Ah. You shut your eyes tight when you realize that Albedo's going to be asleep for at least another thirty minutes, resigning to your fate gladly.

Of course, Alice takes the opportunity to snap a few more pictures when you've finally fallen back asleep.

-

YES ALSO ALSO

Speaking of Albedo and sweaters and warm and also the just mentioned cologne. A little fun tidbit--not only are you familiar with the scent of his cologne because he wears it often, but it (in this au) is actually one that you picked out some time back. You probably were at the store together smelling some of the perfumes when you came across one that you were pleasantly surprised by.

Specifically, something that's lightly floral, a little warm but sweet with a hint of earthiness.

The pros? It fits Albedo perfectly! It also kinda sticks well and his place faintly smells of it.

The cons?? Well...you're embarrassed to say that hugging Albedo tends to drag on a little longer than anticipated because it's just such a comforting scent-

Not because you associate it with Albedo or anything-

Ehe

Man I really went to town again, didn't I?? Well, I'm glad that you enjoy my headcanons :DDD Albedo just seems like such a sweet person??? Like endearing in a way that just is...him. If that makes sense.

Brain go brrrrrr

I'll admit that my favorite headcanons for Bedo are mundane and domestic ones though! Like these! Just the little moments where there's nothing really going on except for him and you and ahhhh yesyesyes

Okay that's all-

[musicallisto]

omg okay so I seen your post about your layout and I only followed you a few days ago but I’ve just started up on this blog and was wondering if you had any tips? honestly literally anything would be helpful your theme is just beautiful

hi! so first of all, thank you so much, it means the world that you enjoy my theme 💜

I've tried to think of some tips - though I wouldn't say my blog is a "reference" in terms of beauty at all, and these tips are not necessarily universal, but they work for me and I hope you find them useful!

— a few words of advice to new bloggers who wish to improve their (mobile) theme;

➣ first of all: let your theme be you. this is the most important point I think, and that's why I'm mentioning it first. compared to other social media platforms, tumblr offers you a wide array of customization options from the way your blog looks to what you reblog, and in my humble opinion you will never be entirely satisfied with your theme if it's not representative of what you like, or how you feel at the moment. my theme has a majority of purple & lilac because they're my favorite colors — it also references the sky because I'm really passionate about it. before even reading a word of my blog, you already know two things about me: 1) I love purple and 2) I love the sky. if you get the reference, you might even know that 3) I like playchoices and more specifically blades of light and shadow, based on my profile picture. let your imagination be wild, express yourself! like pastel colors? go all for it! love flowers? flower up that whole blog. your layout is the first thing people will see about you, and first impressions matter ッ

➣ have your icon and header match. the way I build my themes is very often as follows: I find (or make!) a beautiful icon of someone I like, then I scout tumblr in search of a matching header, and lastly I have the background and text colors match the set. you can also decide you want, say, a yellow or gold theme this time and look for icons & headers in that range. finding matching colors based on the header is easy for me since I love "cropped" headers or those that have a ripped paper effect, and allow the background color to kind of bleed onto the rest of the page. however if you have a regular-sized, rectangular header, you can easily find matching colors/palettes with websites like this one.

➣ keep your bio short. now this is entirely personal preference, but a very long bio tends to turn me off. mine is maybe a little too short, but I think it contains the most vital information about me: how to address me, my age, and what I do on here. if you want to dig deeper, you can click the links — never underestimate the power of links in your bio! imo, your bio should be somewhere between 1-3 lines of text, enough to add whatever quote you resonate with or important information or links you want people to know at first glance (pronouns, age...) but this is entirely subjective! if you want to go for a very long bio, by all means, do it!

➣ have a little trademark. this is totally optional, but a lot of blogs that I follow and whose aesthetics I love have their own little quirks when it comes to formatting their posts, or the way they speak in general. maybe they don't use capital letters ever, maybe they use the small text feature and italicize all their ponctuation like @meiitanoia, maybe they are known for their use of the ™ symbol like @lxncelot. maybe they have an emoji of choice! mine is the purple heart 💜 ; it's my Brand. I also use a lot of little symbols, stuff these little bad boys — anywhere I can, start all my important posts with ˚ ༘✶, and write all my titles with messletters. it's all about finding what you like best to express yourself, like figuring out your fashion style. once again, this is probably the most optional out of all these tips, but it's sure to crown your theme. (and, indirectly, your tumblr persona, because we are visual animals and will inevitably form an image of you more or less based on the look of your blog. no presssure, though!)

➣ for writers: have an organized navigation post/tagging system. this could arguably be extended to gifmakers and other editors, but I'm not really one of them so I couldn't really tell you. if your blog is organized, easy to maneuver — if it's basically impossible to get lost on your blog, then it will give an impression of well-kept and beautiful, like a maze with trimmed hedges where roses nest. i recommend having a fandom list, a masterlist of your works, maybe a post for your rules and what you're willing to write or not. you can also make little banners at the top of each post, like I do — but the one thing I find the most life-changing are dividers. you can use them anywhere, they're elegant, super easy to make in a variety of colors that go well with your theme; it's basically accessorizing your blog. a pleasure. It requires the tiniest bit of knowledge with photoshop or other softwares of the sort, but there are plenty of tutorials if you want to learn!

➣ lastly, keep it fun. don't fret about having the most beautiful theme or get anxious over whether or not the colors work well together or people are going to like the layout or not. a blog can only be as pretty as the person behind it! as long as you are having fun, showing what you want to show, posting what you want to post, and saying what you want to say, people will love your blog for its sincerity and good vibes, I can assure you!

Nightingale’s Song - 11

Pairing: Bucky x Anna (OC)

Warnings: not really

A/N: OMG. A Chapter. OMG. 

***

Anna leaned against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest just watching the others in the room. Stark was apparently on a call with the director of SHIELD trying to get them more information about the Siberian base. She could tell them where it was located but not how to get in or anything of the sort. Stark was hoping for some satellite imagery of the area.

Her gaze fell on the new arrivals huddled in the corner with Steve. When Tony said they needed reinforcements she hadn’t anticipated him calling on actual gods. Okay, so they weren’t really gods, but she’d always been slightly fascinated by Norse mythology. When the brothers were being discussed at Hydra, she’d always assumed Loki and Thor were code names. Her eyes shifted to the woman with them, Loki’s wife Isolde. Their secret weapon. Or so Steve had said though he didn’t explain further.

She straightened as Tony hurried into the room. “JARVIS, pull it up please.”

Everyone moved over to the table as images appeared in the room around them. This was so cool. Steve motioned to the seat next to him and she slid into it, reaching over to grab his hand. She found herself needing to touch him when he was near. Too many years spent apart with nothing but Hydra’s attentions.

Tony somehow moved the images around with nothing other than his hands until he found the one he wanted. He motioned and the image grew larger. “Okay. Thanks to Anna here we know the exact location of the base. After some prodding, Fury gave me access to satellite scans of the area. Nothing popped out at me until this.”

“What is that?” Clint asked.

“It looks like a bunker entrance,” Steve answered as he squeezed Anna’s hand.

“Easy to overlook unless you know it’s there,” Tony agrees with a nod. He shifted his attention to Anna. “What do you know?”

She shook her head once and took a breath. “There are things I know and there are things that I can guess with some degree of accuracy. Unfortunately, it’s not a lot.”

“Anything is better than nothing,” Stark said.

“Bucky is Hydra’s version of Steve, but he’s a weapon. Nothing more. They use him then they freeze him. When they have another task, they wake him. I can’t tell you what his current status is though it wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve thawed him to deal with you lot. You were really starting to get under their skin. If he’s awake there will be fewer soldiers at the facilities. They’ve been stretched kind of thin lately. Also your fault.”

“Nice to know we’re actually having an impact. I was starting to wonder,” Natasha said. The others made noises of agreement.

“He lost his left arm. Whether it happened in the fall or after, I’m not sure. They’ve replaced it with metal. Works just like the real thing only better. I’d avoid getting grabbed by that one if you can. The twins aren’t used much in the field yet. They volunteered for the experiments after their mother was killed in a terrorist attack. They’ll probably release them once we breach the facility. If you encounter the girl, remember everything you see should be called into question. She can manipulate thoughts, memories. Like I said, the soldiers are terrified of her.”

“What do you mean when we breach the facility?” Tony asked. “You aren’t doing anything. We appreciate the information but you’re a nurse.”

Steve sat up and Anna squeezed his hand to stave off his argument. She’d anticipated this.

“I’m the only that’s ever been able to override Bucky’s programming.”

“That may be true. Answer’s still no. We’re already going in mostly blind. The last thing we need is another liability.”

The corner of Anna’s mouth curled in a smile. “After seventy years with Hydra, what makes you think I’ll be a liability?”

Steve tugged on her hand and she glanced over to see him studying her with worried eyes. She shrugged. It didn’t matter. Not really. All that mattered was getting Bucky back.

“She saved my life,” Clint said.

Anna looked over and smiled in thanks. He nodded once in acknowledgment.

Tony sighed, catching her attention. “Fine. The assassins test you. You pass, you can come. Fair?”

“Fair,” she agreed quickly. “You also need to equip non-lethal ordinances that will work on someone with Steve’s metabolism. Bucky and the male twin will both need them. The female should respond to standard tranquilizers.”

“Banner?” Steve asked.

“I’ve got a formula on file. It shouldn’t take me long to mix up.”

“I’ll help,” Tony said. “Assassins, Anna. We’ll head out when everyone’s ready.”

***

Anna trailed behind the Bartons and Natasha as they headed to the training floor. Steve followed along as well. Tony had started to protest but one look from the super soldier shut him up. Both of you were reluctant to separate. The fact you were about to be tested by three assassins probably didn’t help that feeling. He’d always been protective of her anyway.

They stepped into a large room and Anna glanced around. The facilities were top-notch. Not that she’d expected anything less from Stark. “Where do you want to start?” she asked once she finished taking everything in.

The three exchanged a glance and Natasha gestured to the equipment. “Why don’t you give us a demonstration?”

Anna’s lips twitched and she took a stroll around the room as she planned exactly what to show them. There was only so much she could show them using equipment. Finally, she walked over to the climbing rope and tugged on it a couple of times. Someone sighed behind her and she took that as her cue to get started. She made it to the top of the rope in under a minute.

“Christ.” That was the male Barton. The sentiment was echoed by his wife when Anna pulled herself onto the rafters and ran along them with no hesitation. And when she launched herself from them to land at their feet, Steve wasn’t the only one to yell.

There was a moment’s stillness as Anna straightened then Natasha launched into an attack. Anna blocked or dodged every punch and every kick. Picking up on a soft sound behind her, she stepped to the side only for Raven to land where Anna had been standing a moment before. Once it became two against one, more blows found their mark, but Anna remained on her feet much to the aggravation of the women in front of her.

Another whisper of sound had Anna spinning to snatch a practice arrow from the air. Taking advantage of her distraction one of the others brought their heel down on the extended arm. The snap of breaking bone echoed through the room.

Anna flinched but that was the only outward sign of the pain that suddenly flared through her.

“Holy shit. I’m so sorry,” Raven Barton gasped. “Are you alright?” She reached out a hand but didn’t touch in case the assistance would be unwelcome.

Anna smiled. “It’s fine.”

“That is not fine, Anna. Far from it.” Steve scowled at everyone as he stepped forward and lightly supported Anna’s bruised and swollen arm.

“Excuse me a moment,” she said and turned to the others. “Natasha could you do me a favor?”

She arched a brow. “Maybe.” She took a step forward.

“Hold my wrist. Tightly please.”

The assassin frowned but did as Anna asked. Once she was certain Natasha had a firm grip, Anna yanked the arm backward and the bones ground against each other as they slid back into place.

“Agh!” Clint yelled at the sound. “Don’t do that.”

Anna chuckled as she gave Natasha a nod. “Thanks.”

“Sure,” the red-head replied sounding more than a bit concerned.

Anna closed her eyes and breathed as she concentrated on the injury. A moment later the only thing that remained of the injury was a dull ache that would leave soon enough. She stretched and moved the arm around, testing it out. “There. All fixed.”

“Didn’t that hurt at all?” Steve asked.

“Hurt like a bitch.” At his concerned expression, she continued. “You can learn to ignore a lot if you have to, Cap. Trust me.”

Author’s note: Chapter 9 is the first of part 2. There’s nothing that explicit in this one, but at this point I hope you like the story enough to continue reading the adventures of Dopeman and ArkAngel. As always, I appreciate every feedback. 

Hope you like it.

On with the show!

You (21:00):

Hello, gorgeous, how are you?

ArkAngel (21:00):

Hello, Dopeman. I'm good, the flight went well, and I'm already installed. I'm watching The Devil Wears Prada on TV with the other interns.

How are you?

You (21:01):

Well, you know, with the business.

ArkAngel (21:01):

I find it strange not to wear my wig and clothes at this time.

You (21:01):

I also find strange not to see you. My roommate, however, is delighted that you are not at home.

ArkAngel (21:02):

Tell him ‘Fuck you’ for me.

You (21:02):

I will xD

You start your internship on Monday, right?

ArkAngel (21:03):

Yes, exactly.

You (21:03):

I'll text you on Friday to ask how your first week went, then.

Enjoy the movie.

ArkAngel (21:04):

Thanks, Dopeman.

Have a good night.

 You (21:10):

How was your first week?

Come on, tell me everything.

ArkAngel (21:11):

It went well, although I am exhausted.

Oh, you don't know what?

Yesterday the head of my department said she likes my job!

You (21:12):

See? I told you, you would kick ass in NYC.

What else has happened?

ArkAngel (21:12):

Let's see…

On Monday I almost threw my coffee over a model, but I managed to grab it in time.

On Tuesday, one of the photographers asked me for my opinion on lighting in a shoot. And then she invited me to lunch and we talked about photography and graphic design, and it was great.

I made friends with the guy from the fashion department on Wednesday, and he has given me some amazing ideas.

Yesterday I was commissioned to make banners for the website, and that's when my boss told me that she likes my job. I was like floating all afternoon.

You (21:15):

I imagine xD

ArkAngel (21:15):

And today… I have learned something, but I can't tell you yet.

You (21:15):

Oh, come on! Why not?

ArkAngel (21:16):

It's a surprise.

I promise you it will be worth it.

 You (20:58):

Where is my surprise?

ArkAngel (20:58):

Prepared?

Drumroll…

IMG_398650.mp4

Wes opened the video. It was an AK-V video.

“What’s up, Dopeman?” He said, smiling at the camera. “Your friend told me that you are a fan of mine, so I hope you like the new album and if you go to a concert on the next tour, don't forget to say hi, okay? Peace!” he finished, making the devil horns.

He saw it two more times, to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

You (21:05):

OMG! How did you get that?

ArkAngel (21:05):

He came to the magazine for an interview and a photo shoot. I was going to ask him to sign an autograph for you, but then I remembered that I wasn't going to be able to send it to you properly, and I thought this was better.

I showed him your photo, and he told me that if you go backstage at the end of a concert, they will let you in.

You (21:06):

For real?!

ArkAngel (21:06):

Yep.

He's a great guy. The truth is that I didn’t expect him to be so nice.

Because he has that tough guy image and all that.

You (21:07):

Right?

But he's a very sensitive guy, deep down.

He's always great with fans.

Last year, at one of the concerts I went to, he took a birthday girl on stage, sang happy birthday to her, and gave her a hug. The poor thing was so overwhelmed she was crying.

ArkAngel (21:08):

I imagine.

You know? He asked me if you were my boyfriend.

You (21:08):

And what did you say?

ArkAngel (21:09):

That you are a good friend.

Then he said we should go out together. And his girlfriend agreed with him.

You (21:09):

Megan LaValle was there?

ArkAngel (21:10):

Yes! She is even prettier in person.

Oh, and you should buy the magazine, there will be a pretty long interview with him. And photos.

Watch out for VOGUE September.

You (21:11):

I will.

ArkAngel (21:11):

I'm going out with some friends, so I have to go.

Talk to you later?

You (21:12):

Have fun... but not too much fun 😉

Have a good night, gorgeous.

ArkAngel (21:12):

You too, Dopeman.

ArkAngel (22:59):

I'm a little drunk, but I love that I think you.

I think that I love you ❤

Thanks to whoever invented autocorrect xD

IMG_398764.jpeg

It was a photo of her, a little blurry and quite dark. It showed her face from her nose to her cleavage. She was sticking her tongue out and making the peace sign with her fingers. Her dress was covered in green sequins, and she wore peach lipstick, and gold micro-glitter on the neckline. Wes supposed she was in some club, with her new friends from the magazine.

Dopeman (23:00):

I also love that I think you xD

Don't worry, tomorrow I'll remind you to delete this.

ArkAngel (23:10):

IMG_398765.jpeg

The new image was a photo of her stomach, with the word Dopeman written in eyeliner, quite successfully mimicking the tattoos she already had.

You (23:12):

I’m keeping this one.

Turn off your phone, and stop drinking!

ArkAngel (23:13):

Yes, Dad.

I’m a good girl.

ArkAngel (10:12):

OMG I'm so sorry!

You (10:12):

Good morning to you too xD

Don't worry, we've all done stupid things while drunk.

It’s ok, really.

Do you remember what happened last night?

ArkAngel (10:14):

Of course I remember.

That’s why I’m apologizing now that I'm sober.

I’m so ashamed!

You (10:15):

Trust me, I've done worse being drunk and/or high.

You have nothing to apologize for.

But I want to ask you something, did you go all over NYC with DOPEMAN written on your belly?

ArkAngel (10:16)

Yes.

I still had it this morning, although almost erased. Even being waterproof, there is a limit to what makeup can take.

You (10:16):

You didn't do it, did you?

ArkAngel (10:17):

No, James's boyfriend did it for me, the guy from the fashion department I told you about.

Matt is great with lettering. And an artist with the eyeliner.

You (10:17):

I noticed xD

Are you hungover?

ArkAngel (10:18):

A bit.

I was drinking a cocktail called Red Garden, and then another one called Black Garden, and it turns out that both are vodka-based, but they taste very sweet and I didn't realize how much I was actually drinking.

Normally I wouldn't have drunk that much ...

Anyway, lesson learned: I shouldn't take more than one of each.

You (10:19):

Take it easy today.

ArkAngel (10:19):

That’s for sure.

This afternoon I am going to meet Carla, because I already promised her that we would meet today, but if they intend to make me go out again tonight, I will lock myself in my room.

I'll build a barricade if necessary, but they won't get me out of here.

You (10:21):

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

ArkAngel (17:33):

You like them?

IMG_398773.mp4

It was a video of about twenty seconds. Her feet appeared in a mirror, with black platform and stiletto sandals and teal pedicure. She didn't speak, she just showed them at different angles.

You (17:36):

A lot.

ArkAngel (17:36):

We went to get pedicures, and then shopping, and although they are very tall for me, I thought you would like to see me with them.

You (17:37):

Step. On. My. Cock.

ArkAngel (17:37):

😂😂😂😂

You (17:38):

Wait, did you say you didn't buy them?

Why are you torturing me, woman?

ArkAngel (17:38):

LOL!

They were a bit expensive and again, too high. I don't usually wear such high heels. There comes a point where I start to look like a newborn foal.

You (17:39):

Do you really expect me to believe that a girl like you, who does karate, is clumsy?

ArkAngel (17:39):

And I'm not clumsy... in flat shoes.

You (17:40):

Do you have a picture with the dress from yesterday?

I would like to see you.

ArkAngel (17:40):

Sure I do.

IMG_398762.jpeg

The image had been cropped to remove the other person from the photo (Wes could see that there had been another girl in the photo because she had an arm around her shoulders), and to hide her face.

The dress had two parts, both covered in sequins: the top was a dark green top with a scoop neckline and elbow-length sleeves, and the bottom was a black pencil skirt that ended just above her knees. The two were joined at the back, and since the top one ended just below her breasts, and the bottom one began just below her navel, it exposed the entire lower half of her torso.

She was wearing shiny black stockings and high heels (those of that style were called pumps, if he was not mistaken), also black, much lower than the ones he had shown in the video.

You (17:41):

Very pretty.

ArkAngel (17:41):

IMG_398767.jpeg

The second image was from later that night, and showed her leaning against a lamppost, with DOPEMAN written on her belly.

You (17:42):

I would lick chocolate syrup off your abdomen.

And then I would eat your pussy sitting on my face until you called out my name.

ArkAngel (17:43):

Isn't it too early to be so horny, Dopeman? xD

You (17:43):

It's your fault for sending me that video of your feet.

And the photos with that dress.

Can I keep them?

ArkAngel (17:44):

Of course.

 ArkAngel (12:34):

In a couple of hours, I'll be home again.

The month has passed super fast.

Will we see each other this Friday?

You (12:25):

Of course, I would not miss your triumphant return for anything in the world.

And go getting your shoe collection out of the closet, because you're going to have to put them all on for me.

ArkAngel (12:25):

😂😂😂

Okay, Mr. Foot Fetish.

 ArkAngel (11:01):

Just to be clear, are you really going to want to see how I try on all of my shoes tonight?

You (11:03):

Yes.

ArkAngel (11:03):

Sneakers too?

You (13:04):

When I say all of them is all of them, gorgeous.

Sneakers, flip-flops… all of them.

ArkAngel (11:05):

I was just making sure xD

See you later.

You (11:05):

See you later, gorgeous 😉

omg soulmate e telling the rest of his family he met the one. there’s only one way you find out so they all know he had his first orgasm 😳😂 (he and yn have to get away from the awkwardness by doing it in a bathroom during the family get together probably)

Feel good kind of love (Soulmate AU) - Masterlist

WARNING: smut, swearing

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~           ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~           ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~       ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ 

She was nervous, Ethan could tell. It’s been a month since he told her he loved her and three months since they’ve met and neither of them had actually met the parents. Usually, Ethan would give her an out and let the irrational fears she clearly harbors win just so he wouldn’t cause her discomfort, but this time he refused to. She’s always been a little distant and hard to reach. He didn’t want to push her, but damn it, if he doesn’t he feared she’d leave and he’d never see her again. Hell, he feared she might do the same anyway, but at least he’d know he tried.

The door opened and her hand squeezed his a little tighter, bringing a slight ache with it, but he smiled at his mother who was very excited to see her son but also very surprised he hadn’t come alone. Sure, she expected Grayson and Bella to come as soulmates, but Ethan had always told her Y/N wasn’t ready to meet anyone.

“Awee, my baby and his favorite girl!” Lisa embraced Ethan, his left arm lifting to wrap around his mother while the right hand remained firmly in Y/N’s, giving her something to hold onto - someone to anchor herself to.

“Everyone’s out in the yard already.” Lisa smiled, offering Y/N a short hug as well, wanting to respect the girl’s boundaries, perfectly satisfied by the polite smile she offered in return and a light tap on her back.

However, the rest of Ethan’s family and friends weren’t as low-key. The moment they stepped out in the yard, Cameron had a banner up: HAPPY FOR THE HORNY COUPLE, everyone laughing as the air horns went off along a single firework that exploded above.

Mortified, Y/N’s eyes widened and her cheeks darkened, running off inside the house and past a confused Lisa who came out to check what’s the fuss.

“Great going! You idiots!” Ethan groaned, running after her.

Ethan stormed through the house, searching the bathrooms on the first two floors, until finally reaching the third floor, where the bathroom door was closed.

Standing outside, his hand resting on the knob, he debated with himself. If he went in there, what would happen? Would she end things? Would she cry? Would she scream until he felt he wanted to die? Or maybe she’d decide to fuck his brains out just for the heck of it? There was only one of those things he was interested in, and it sure as hell wasn’t apologizing until she stopped ripping him a new one.

He thought about knocking but knew for a fact she wouldn’t invite him in. They’ve never fought. They’ve never cried in front of each other, not even after an intense orgasm. Ethan was lost on what he could do, knowing she was a tough person to get through to, much harder to melt her heart than his…and that’s saying something!

He listened carefully, waiting for any noise or sign of movement from inside.

Nothing.

Finally, he turned the knob, surprised to find it unlocked. He’d only been in this bathroom a few times since Lisa had remodeled it. It was a beautiful, modern room with a custom-built marble counter and a wide mirror covering one wall. Above the vanity was a small window that overlooked the backyard. She was sitting on the padded bench in front of the table, staring out at the sky.  

“Why are you here, Ethan?” she asked. She took the cap off her lipstick, which she carefully applied to her lips.

“I wanted to check on you. I care about you, remember?” He reached behind to turn the lock on the bathroom door, the audible click ringing in the silent room.   She laughed, meeting his dark eyes in the mirror. She looked completely composed, but he could see the rise and fall of her chest; she was still very much worked up over the situation.  

“I assure you, I’m fine. No need to get all mushy and stuff.” She put the cap back on her lipstick and shoved it into her purse. She stood and started to move past Ethan to the door.

“I know you care and I know you love your family. So, I’ll try, okay? I should get back downstairs.”                                                      

Ethan put his hand on the door as he leaned closer to her face.

“I don’t think so.” His lips lightly grazed under her ear, and she shuddered with the contact. “You see, I can read you like a book and you’re not fine. You’re my girl, I know you.”  

She glared at him. “Let me go. I am not yours.”

“You might think that,” Ethan whispered, his lips ghosting along the column of her neck. “But your body,” he said, running her hands under her skirt and pressing his hand against the damp lace between her legs, “thinks otherwise.”

Her eyes closed and she let out a low moan as his fingers moved in slow circles against her clit. “Screw you.���  

“Gladly. Let me,” He said into her neck. She let out a shaky laugh, and he pushed her against the bathroom door. Grabbing each of her hands, he raised them above her head, keeping them captive in his own, bending to kiss her. He felt her struggle weakly in his grip, soliciting a slight shake of his head, tightening his hold as result.  

“Let me make you feel good.” Ethan repeated, pressing his hardened cock against her. 

“Oh, God,” she said as her head tilted to the side, allowing him access to her neck. “We can’t do this here. Your family is here.”

Ethan ran his lips down and across her collarbone to her shoulder. Shifting both of her wrists into one hand, he reached down and slowly pulled one of the zippers holding her top together, kissing along the newly exposed skin. Moving to the other side he repeated the action and was rewarded when the bodice slipped down to reveal a red lace strapless bra.

“Fuck.” Ethan cussed under his breath, wondering did this woman own anything that didn’t make him nearly cum in his pants? He trailed his mouth down to her breasts while his free hand unfastened the clasp. There was no way he’d miss the sight of her bare breasts. It opened easily and the lace fell away, revealing the vision that filled every one of his filthiest fantasies. As he took one pink nipple into his mouth, she moaned and her knees buckled slightly.

“See? Mine.” Ethan growled.     

“Shut up,” she said. “Just keep going.”

Ethan lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his waist, bringing their bodies together more firmly. He released her hands and she immediately brought them up to his hair and roughly pulled him closer. Fuck, Ethan loved it when she did that.

He pushed her against the door but then realized there were too many clothes in the way for he longed to feel the heat of her skin against his own, wanted to bury himself balls deep in her and keep her pinned to the wall until everyone had long since gone to bed. She seemed to know exactly what’s on his mind as her fingers moved down his sides and began frantically tugging his shirt from his pants, lifting it up and over his head. 

The sound of laughter outside floated up through the open window, and he felt her tense against him. A long moment passed before her eyes met his, and it was clear she was struggling with what to say.  

“We shouldn’t do this,” she said finally, shaking her head. “They’ll know.” She halfheartedly tried to push him away but he held his ground.  

“Do you actually want me to stop?” He asked, feeling a wave of possessiveness boil up inside him.

“Cause I don’t give a fuck if they know.” She held his gaze but didn’t answer. Ethan set her down and pulled her to the dressing table, stopping to stand just behind her. He pulled her bare back to his chest and brought his mouth to her ear.

“Do you not want to let go of those nerves?” Ethan asked, his hands sliding along her breasts. “Just enough not to kill my sister tonight?” He skimmed his hands down her abdomen, along her skirt and to her thighs. “I can make it happen.” His fingers floated up her thigh and underneath her panties. A low hiss escaped his mouth as he felt the wetness there and pushed inside. “You’re already so wet for me.”  

She groaned and pressed her hips back into him. “I’m always wet for you.”  

“Tell me what you want,” He whispered against her shoulder.  

“I don’t know.” She responded, her eyes fluttering open.

“I don’t believe that one bit,” Ethan said, his fingers moving in and out of her.

“You know what you want. I want to feel you inside me.” She didn’t need to ask twice. I

Ethan quickly undid his pants and pushed them down his hips, grinding into her ass before he lifted her skirt and gripped her panties in his hands.

“Rip them,” she whispered. Ethan chuckled lowly. He yanked hard and her flimsy panties tore easily. He tossed them to the floor, running his hands along her skin and sliding his fingers down her arms to her hands, where he pressed her palms flat on the table in front of them. And he stopped to look at the this devil of a woman disguised as an angel. She was a fucking gorgeous sight: bent at the waist, skirt pushed up over her hips, perfect ass on display.

They both moaned as he lined himself up and slid in deep. Bending over, he placed a kiss and whispered “Shhh” on her back.

Ethan was at his wits end with her, desperate for the L word to pass her lips, but they never did. And he couldn’t help but think if she felt that way for someone else. Someone who isn’t him.

The image was enough to make him push into her more forcefully. Her strangled sounds made him smile, and he rewarded her with an increase in tempo. A twisted part of him felt a sense of vindication seeing her so muted by what he did to her. She was gasping, fingers searching for something to hold on to, and his cock so hard inside her, harder every time she tried to make a sound but couldn’t.  

Speaking softly against her ear, he asked if she wanted to be fucked. He asked her if she loved pissing him off to the point of taking her so roughly she would bruise.  

She stuttered out a yes, and when he moved faster and harder, she begged for more. The bottles and jars on the table were rattling and tipping over with the force of their movements, but Ethan couldn’t care less.

Gripping her hair, he pulled her up so her back was against his chest. “Do you think anyone can make you feel this way?” He continued to thrust in and out of her, forcing her to look out the window. He knew he was slipping as his walls were falling around him and the thin line between demanding and caring had started to blur, but he didn’t care.

Ethan needed her to think of him, remembering the way he fucked her and force her to come to the conclusion she can’t be without him any less than he can be without her.

His free hand ran up her sides to her breast, cupping it and twisting her nipples.  

“No,” she moaned. “No one, but you.” Sliding his hand down her side he placed it behind her knee and hitched it up to the table, opening her up wider and allowing his thrusts to deepen.  

“Do you feel how perfectly you fit around me?” He groaned into her neck. “You feel so fucking good. When you go downstairs, I want you to remember this. Remember what I do to you. How you unravel.” The sensation was becoming too overwhelming and Ethan knew he was getting close. He was beyond desperate. He craved her like a drug, and this feeling consumed his every waking thought. Taking her hand in his, he laced their fingers and moved them down her body to her clit, both hands stroking and teasing.

She groaned as he felt himself glide in and out of her. “Do you feel that?” He whispered into her ear, spreading their fingers so they slipped on either side of his. She turned her head and whimpered into the skin of his neck.

It wasn’t enough and it wasn’t a proclamation of love he seeked, and he needed to keep her quiet. Removing his hand from her hair, he gently covered her mouth and placed a kiss against her flushed cheek. She let out a muffled cry, the possible sound of his name, as her body tensed and then tightened all around his.  

After her eyes closed and her lips relaxed into a satisfied sigh, Ethan started taking what he needed: faster now, watching in the mirror so he could see how his thrusts made her breasts move.

Ethan’s orgasm began to rip through him. Her hand fell from his hair to cover his mouth now and he closed his eyes and let the wave overtake him. His final thrusts were deep and hard as he spilled into her.  

He opened his eyes, kissing her palm before removing it from his mouth and laying his damp forehead against her shoulder. She leaned back into him as they stood there quietly for a few moments.  

Slowly, she began to pull away, and Ethan frowned at the loss of contact. He watched as she straightened her skirt, retrieved her bra, and attempted to retie the straps of her top. As he reached down to pull up his pants, he grabbed the torn lace of her underwear, shoving it into his pocket. She was still struggling with her dress when he walked over, brushing her hands away and retying the straps without meeting her gaze.  

The room was suddenly too small and they glanced at each other once in an uncomfortable silence. He reached for the knob, wanting to say something, anything.

“Tell me you love me.” Ethan managed to say, turning back to face her with his eyes full of hope.

“I can’t.” She crossed her arms over her stomach, shaking his being entirely.

“Why the fuck not? Why am I not good enough to love, huh?” Ethan didn’t raise his voice, simply demanded an answer because his own frustration had built up and the sex wasn’t a complete release anymore. Not with that hanging over his head.

“I can’t because there’s something much more important to say.” She sighed, rubbing her forehead as her eyes looked up to the ceiling, a little bit of desperation passing through her as well. Her hand rested on her stomach still, her deep inhale reaching his ears.

And then she looked back at him, a little lost and very much terrified, her guard down for the first time in forever.

“I’m pregnant.”

[koutawoo]

no bb i totally get what you mean it's so frustrating when us as writers get asks like "oh, can you write ___ story with ___ character instead?" or stuff like "can you rewrite this in ___ au?" like we're all here to just post about our interests and stuff we enjoy doing y'know? but respecting people's work is so important and it's just something people don't really think about and it's honestly really sad

and the mentality of some people who use other people's gifs/edits in their banners etc and claim that it's theirs because they made the banner themselves D: while it's true that they made the banner themselves some elements of the banner are still done by other people from which they didn't ask permission from? it doesn't matter if you make gifs or edit pictures or colour manga panels or write,, all kinds of work deserve respect and credit. no one likes their work stolen by other people and as someone who only recently learned about the importance of crediting, i did some reverse image searches on google and 90% of them brought me back to tumblr,, which is the exact same site they post "their" media and i'm here just questioning like what??? it's basic respect to give credit, and if making these media are so easy, just do it yourself so that you don't have to worry about asking for credit

yeah.. i don’t get how hard it can be to put yourself in other people’s shoes?? do you know how much work and time is put into the content? do you want people to steal your content? do you want people to change your content when you love it as is? do they realize how hard it is to be ~creative~? 

ideas are sacred and not everyone can physically manifest their thoughts. the amount of effort necessary to do that is definitely one that should be commended, and the people who are able to do so are even more so amazing. 

i really respect writers. even if headcanons, short scenarios, and smaus seem easy and/or simple at first glance, it is actually very difficult. i don’t care if a writer tells me the process was easy and quick. to me, as someone who had a try at creative writing, that shit was not easy. i’m actually someone who enjoys reading longer fics (which is apparently an unpopular opinion on tumblr i think) and i- >.> if you write long fics, you are automatically a god/ess to me; you have the hands of god i stg. omg shit and the POWER you guys have when you’re able to make me cry when the fic is only like idk, 300 words long? god-tier! i read this one writer’s works on quotev and they do exactly that and i just love them sm.

omg right!! this is why i always try to look for official material to work with. i go on the animanga’s official (japanese) websites to get my stuff because i don’t want to accidentally take something fanmade (that may look official bc people are just THAT good). and fr, it’s literally the same site.... -.- i’m glad that tumblr lists the op’s username when people use their gifs from the ‘gif’ function !! did you know we also get a notif when people do that lol the way i get so happy when people choose to use my gif lmfao im lame T.T but when people use my gif w/o credit and/or permission outside of the ‘gif’ function.. that just hits differently. and yeah, make your own if you don’t want to credit fjdsjkfs

thank you so much for reaching out to me with your thoughts and i hope you won’t have to suffer furthermore w/ the disrespect but sigh, some things don’t change. i just hope you come out stronger each time something like this happens to you!! <3
