#only 40% of people will click on a link

i'm always slightly skeptical when i see posts bemoaning how no one interacts with fanart/meta/fanfic/fanworks in general anymore, or there's been a sudden great dearth of comments and reblogs and or kudoses or what have you.
like i don't want to dismiss them entirely. community expectations do change, and i think it's worth talking about how the presence of social media algorithms and the commodification of fandoms as more Content can be opposed to the long term community building on which fandom thrives.
but at the same time, people have been complaining about how there's not enough interaction with fanworks since I was twelve, so i think this might be a bit of human nature
#fandom#fanworks#remember the 40% rule!#only 40% of people will click on a link#only 40% of those will read that all the way through#only 40% of those will engage deeper#as a rule#that's a maxim of marketing#and obviously fandom is NOT marketing but human behaviour persists

Bonus internet points will be awarded to anyone who actually tries this exercise before voting.
Assume you need to get the spelling at least somewhat close, and if a character has multiple names, only one counts. Also, if a character doesn't have a canonical name, I'm sorry, but "that guy's wife" doesn't count.
For reference, if you can name the 9 members of the Fellowship, the eponymous Hobbit and his 13 dwarf buddies, 3 prominent women, and the guy who runs the Rivendell B&B, that's 27 characters right there. And you probably also know the name of a dragon.
For further reference, Tolkien Gateway has 637 (!!) pages dedicated to Third Age characters. (Don't click that link until you've voted, of course)
Edit: Your humble pollmaker gave this a try, and got as far as 73 before deciding she was too tired to keep trying to remember dwarf and Silm names. If you also want to share (and don't mind people being incredulous at your having forgot ____), pastebin allows you to paste text and share it for free. :)
#lotr#lord of the rings#poll#polls#tolkien#unfortunately I could not award myself points for “ugh that guy who betrayed Gondolin I guess?”#nor can I ever be bothered to remember how to spell the names of you-know-who's seven sons#oh wait#just remembered two more names#it's gonna be like this all day for me isn't it#sudden pollmaker regret

Black Fem! Cam Girl Reader in Mind
CW: Nanami has a voice kink, He’s a pervert, Uhhh, mutual masturbation, uhhhhh yeah pure slutty smut
Thinking about Nanami’s little dirty secret of him watching a specific cam girl almost every other night when he gets off work.
He don’t even remember when he started watching her, he watches porn like any other man yes, but as far as joining sex calls or live streams or even only fans just wasn’t in his interest.
However he misclicked a twitter link once and since then he’s been a regular watching her.
She’s has a relatively smaller audience since she’s new , no more than 40-50 people and doesn’t get many comments, but quite a bit of donations from anonymous perverts that ask her to do things like play with herself with a specific sex toy she has lined up.
It was a marvel to behold to Nanami, her beautiful figure plastered on the screen when he clicks her live, her pretty full legs spread so wide they get out of the camera. He swears he heard her mention she has been in gymnastics.
Her skin complexion was also what captivated him, she looked fake almost. Not in a derogatory sense, but it was astonishing how someone as beautiful as her has less than 100 veiws despite being so new.
Every night he comes home, mentally drained, throwing his clothes from one area of the room to the next, he’ll worry about it in the morning. As for now, it’s almost 9pm which means his favorite girl is about to start the show.
It started off as something he swore to watch once, get off, and never go back to the site again.
That was until he became addicted to the way she cums.
Something about it.
The way her left thigh twitch and jiggles signalling she’s close, her fatty lower lip being chewed on while her voice gets higher in pitch, the way how her eyes squint, but fail to keep focus as they roll back.
She sounds so fucking sexy when she cums.
She is so whiney and needy she begins to overstimulate herself which really drives Nanami over the edge.
“So greedy…” Nanami thinks as his strong fist grips the base of his dick, “Fuck keep going.
She plays with her breast a lot too when she cums on her little fingers, rubbing her clit in circles, bucking her hips at the camera.
It never failed to make the tired blonde man cum in seconds.
It’s been almost a month of this and he tries not to think about it too much. Watching her for a moment, getting off then immediately shutting off the laptop to clean up and go to bed.
but tonight he wanted to go a little further.
He never comments, he never donates, but tonight there was something in the air, maybe it was the new lingerie she wore to show off, maybe it was the need of seeing more of her. Though it’s been a month, nanami began to stay after cumming, watching her reply and give thanks to donations. He once stayed an entire live and honestly it was most he ever came in his entire life.
She was just so cute. Her voice was so delicate and sweet despite the slutty acts she was doing.
“Fuck it.” He though, clicking and typing away.
“Mr. John Doe has donated $150.”
“Oh!” Her voice almost purred in his heard making him groan as he laid on the headboard of his bed. “Thank you Mr. Doe. That’s so kind of you!…um…as a thank you do you have any requests for me tonight?”
Nanami’s breath hitched a little, her big doe eyes looking at the screen of her chat, she insisted she’d do almost anything and for a moment Nanami was going to just tell her to do whatever she liked but…
her voice. He needed to hear it more.
“Mr. John Doe has Donated $250: Moan my name while you play with yourself, it’s Kento.”
Her eyes widened at the message for a second leaving Nanami to sigh in embarrassment, why would he do that of course she’s not—
“Kento…that’s a really cute name.” She giggled, taking off the top of her pink and black set revealing her breast to massage, “Mkay! Thank you again, Kento..”
It was like her voice had a spell on him, immediately he lowered the waist band of his grey sweats and pulled out his dick and lube from his nightstand.
She did as told, teasing herself with her fingers on her clit, Nanami watched carefully stroking the shaft of his dick at the same pace as her,
“Kentooooo..” She whined throwing her head back., “‘Wish you were here to do this for me…’need you so badly..”
“Fuck..” Nanami growled, he wish he was there, one of his fingers are twice the size of 2 of hers, he knew he could have her cum way faster, maybe even squirt all around his wrist and hand, but alas.
He’s stuck w his own sticky seed flowing down his knuckles and palm. He overstimulated himself to the point he felt a tear fall down the corner of his eye.
“Ken! Kento!” Her voice pitched, she’s close, “Kento yes!”
The chants of his name while she falls flat on her back leaving nothing but her drooling wet cunt on screen left Nanami speechless, his cheeks were pink and hot, his hair no longer properly parter but flowing over his eyes he couldn’t take it. He wish he knew her real name and not username to moan with her.
“Hah…” She breathed moving back towards the camera, she started sucking on her own wet sticky fingers, and that made Nanami’s cock twitch , she’s such a dirty girl. “Hope it was to your liking, Kento. Thank you for the donation!”
If only he could give her more than a few dollars and stupid requests.
Maybe.

A MARAUDERS KAHOOT!
(Kind of)
So Kahoot would only let 40 people participate unless I paid like $100 for a year subscription, so I redid the quiz on quizizz, which is like kahoot except with powerups (yay!)
Rules:
This link is open until Sunday (4/21) noon EST so you have until then to play!
You do not need an account to play. It's free <3
Use your Tumblr name as your nickname, that way I can announce the top 5 at the end of the week!
The top five players will get to send me a request for any microfic they want! (within reason, respecting my boundaries)
First place gets a full-length oneshot! (like 2-5k words)
You're welcome to play as many times as you want because it's fun, but if you do, I'll take your lowest score for places, just to be fair. <3
All questions are based off of facts (as in, none of my personal headcanons), so if you think anything is wrong, please let me know! I used the Harry Potter Lexicon to double-check my work, but I can always make mistakes.
However, I do ask factual questions about many fanon ships (i.e. what does "starchaser" mean) so please be aware that multiple ships are mentioned. I tried to include all of the popular ones, even if they aren't my personal favorites.
Please reblog this so as many people can enjoy it as possible! I worked hard lol.
After Sunday, I'll restart the game just for fun and leave a link on my pinned post.
Let me know if you have tech issues! I am NOT tech savvy but I'll do my best to help!
UPDATE: If you don't finish because of a glitch or whatever, I won't count the score. Just finished scores.
So much love to you all! <3

Google Drive full of book PDFs about Chernobyl
Link to the Google Drive if you don't want to click the title: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kscKFciW6almJA8p-0sUQPO3c0A4AQYe
Note: It will be updated regularly - for as long as I'll be able to find/get new things =) So far I've compiled 41 books in three languages.
Just to repeat what I said in the first post: I'm open to any requests or suggestions or even PDFs themselves, if someone wants to share theirs from their collection. Message me, send me an ask, throw a rock through my window - whatever you prefer, just please, do it yourself because I'm too scared to message anyone, thanks. No fiction - that's the only rule. Any language is welcome - if you want me to look for a certain book in the language of your choice, I'll do that. If you have a book in language other than English, I'd love to add it to the Drive! If you have a better version of whatever PDF I've already got, then I'd be more than happy to do a swap.
Now, some of my reasoning, if anyone's interested: first of all, I think it's important for everyone to be able to access stuff like this. Think of it as a library, minus the "give these back" part. Secondly, I get soooo mad when people are like haha, found this super rare, basically impossible to find, very expensive book! ...I shall now keep it exclusively to myself.

In early 2020, deepfake expert Henry Ajder uncovered one of the first Telegram bots built to “undress” photos of women using artificial intelligence. At the time, Ajder recalls, the bot had been used to generate more than 100,000 explicit photos—including those of children—and its development marked a “watershed” moment for the horrors deepfakes could create. Since then, deepfakes have become more prevalent, more damaging, and easier to produce.
Now, a WIRED review of Telegram communities involved with the explicit nonconsensual content has identified at least 50 bots that claim to create explicit photos or videos of people with only a couple of clicks. The bots vary in capabilities, with many suggesting they can “remove clothes” from photos while others claim to create images depicting people in various sexual acts.
The 50 bots list more than 4 million “monthly users” combined, according to WIRED's review of the statistics presented by each bot. Two bots listed more than 400,000 monthly users each, while another 14 listed more than 100,000 members each. The findings illustrate how widespread explicit deepfake creation tools have become and reinforce Telegram’s place as one of the most prominent locations where they can be found. However, the snapshot, which largely encompasses English-language bots, is likely a small portion of the overall deepfake bots on Telegram.
“We’re talking about a significant, orders-of-magnitude increase in the number of people who are clearly actively using and creating this kind of content,” Ajder says of the Telegram bots. “It is really concerning that these tools—which are really ruining lives and creating a very nightmarish scenario primarily for young girls and for women—are still so easy to access and to find on the surface web, on one of the biggest apps in the world.”
Explicit nonconsensual deepfake content, which is often referred to as nonconsensual intimate image abuse (NCII), has exploded since it first emerged at the end of 2017, with generative AI advancements helping fuel recent growth. Across the internet, a slurry of “nudify” and “undress” websites sit alongside more sophisticated tools and Telegram bots, and are being used to target thousands of women and girls around the world—from Italy’s prime minister to school girls in South Korea. In one recent survey, a reported 40 percent of US students were aware of deepfakes linked to their K-12 schools in the last year.
The Telegram bots identified by WIRED are supported by at least 25 associated Telegram channels—where people can subscribe to newsfeed-style updates—that have more than 3 million combined members. The Telegram channels alert people about new features provided by the bots and special offers on “tokens” that can be purchased to operate them, and often act as places where people using the bots can find links to new ones if they are removed by Telegram.
After WIRED contacted Telegram with questions about whether it allows explicit deepfake content creation on its platform, the company deleted the 75 bots and channels WIRED identified. The company did not respond to a series of questions or comment on why it had removed the channels.
Additional nonconsensual deepfake Telegram channels and bots later identified by WIRED show the scale of the problem. Several channel owners posted that their bots had been taken down, with one saying, “We will make another bot tomorrow.” Those accounts were also later deleted.
Hiding in Plain Sight
Telegram bots are, essentially, small apps that run inside of Telegram. They sit alongside the app’s channels, which can broadcast messages to an unlimited number of subscribers; groups where up to 200,000 people can interact; and one-to-one messages. Developers have created bots where people take trivia quizzes, translate messages, create alerts, or start Zoom meetings. They’ve also been co-opted for creating abusive deepfakes.
Due to the harmful nature of the deepfake tools, WIRED did not test the Telegram bots and is not naming specific bots or channels. While the bots had millions of monthly users, according to Telegram’s statistics, it is unclear how many images the bots may have been used to create. Some users, who could be in multiple channels and bots, may have created zero images; others could have created hundreds.
Many of the deepfake bots viewed by WIRED are clear about what they have been created to do. The bots’ names and descriptions refer to nudity and removing women’s clothes. “I can do anything you want about the face or clothes of the photo you give me,” the creators’ of one bot wrote. “Experience the shock brought by AI,” another says. Telegram can also show “similar channels” in its recommendation tool, helping potential users bounce between channels and bots.
Almost all of the bots require people to buy “tokens” to create images, and it is unclear if they operate in the ways they claim. As the ecosystem around deepfake generation has flourished in recent years, it has become a potentially lucrative source of income for those who create websites, apps, and bots. So many people are trying to use “nudify” websites that Russian cybercriminals, as reported by 404Media, have started creating fake websites to infect people with malware.
While the first Telegram bots, identified several years ago, were relatively rudimentary, the technology needed to create more realistic AI-generated images has improved—and some of the bots are hiding in plain sight.
One bot with more than 300,000 monthly users did not reference any explicit material in its name or landing page. However, once a user clicks to use the bot, it claims it has more than 40 options for images, many of which are highly sexual in nature. That same bot has a user guide, hosted on the web outside of Telegram, describing how to create the highest-quality images. Bot developers can require users to accept terms of service, which may forbid users from uploading images without the consent of the person depicted or images of children, but there appears to be little or no enforcement of these rules.
Another bot, which had more than 38,000 users, claimed people could send six images of the same man or woman—it is one of a small number that claims to create images of men—to “train” an AI model, which could then create new deepfake images of that individual. Once users joined one bot, it would present a menu of 11 “other bots” from the creators, likely to keep systems online and try to avoid removals.
“These types of fake images can harm a person’s health and well-being by causing psychological trauma and feelings of humiliation, fear, embarrassment, and shame,” says Emma Pickering, the head of technology-facilitated abuse and economic empowerment at Refuge, the UK’s largest domestic abuse organization. “While this form of abuse is common, perpetrators are rarely held to account, and we know this type of abuse is becoming increasingly common in intimate partner relationships.”
As explicit deepfakes have become easier to create and more prevalent, lawmakers and tech companies have been slow to stem the tide. Across the US, 23 states have passed laws to address nonconsensual deepfakes, and tech companies have bolstered some policies. However, apps that can create explicit deepfakes have been found in Apple and Google’s app stores, explicit deepfakes of Taylor Swift were widely shared on X in January, and Big Tech sign-in infrastructure has allowed people to easily create accounts on deepfake websites.
Kate Ruane, director of the Center for Democracy and Technology’s free expression project, says most major technology platforms now have policies prohibiting nonconsensual distribution of intimate images, with many of the biggest agreeing to principles to tackle deepfakes. “I would say that it’s actually not clear whether nonconsensual intimate image creation or distribution is prohibited on the platform,” Ruane says of Telegram’s terms of service, which are less detailed than other major tech platforms.
Telegram’s approach to removing harmful content has long been criticized by civil society groups, with the platform historically hosting scammers, extreme right-wing groups, and terrorism-related content. Since Telegram CEO and founder Pavel Durov was arrested and charged in France in August relating to a range of potential offenses, Telegram has started to make some changes to its terms of service and provide data to law enforcement agencies. The company did not respond to WIRED’s questions about whether it specifically prohibits explicit deepfakes.
Execute the Harm
Ajder, the researcher who discovered deepfake Telegram bots four years ago, says the app is almost uniquely positioned for deepfake abuse. “Telegram provides you with the search functionality, so it allows you to identify communities, chats, and bots,” Ajder says. “It provides the bot-hosting functionality, so it's somewhere that provides the tooling in effect. Then it’s also the place where you can share it and actually execute the harm in terms of the end result.”
In late September, several deepfake channels started posting that Telegram had removed their bots. It is unclear what prompted the removals. On September 30, a channel with 295,000 subscribers posted that Telegram had “banned” its bots, but it posted a new bot link for users to use. (The channel was removed after WIRED sent questions to Telegram.)
“One of the things that’s really concerning about apps like Telegram is that it is so difficult to track and monitor, particularly from the perspective of survivors,” says Elena Michael, the cofounder and director of #NotYourPorn, a campaign group working to protect people from image-based sexual abuse.
Michael says Telegram has been “notoriously difficult” to discuss safety issues with, but notes there has been some progress from the company in recent years. However, she says the company should be more proactive in moderating and filtering out content itself.
“Imagine if you were a survivor who’s having to do that themselves, surely the burden shouldn't be on an individual,” Michael says. “Surely the burden should be on the company to put something in place that's proactive rather than reactive.”

I've been debating how to breach this topic for the past days, but there is no easy or practical way to bring it up. There is an ongoing genocide in Gaza- the world's largest open air prison, as described by U.N. officials and activists. Nearly 2500 Palestinians have been killed in the course of past few days, including women and nearly 700 children. 700. Israel urged Palestinians to leave the Gaza stripe (even though they have nowhere to go to) only to bomb their "safe" exit routes. Entire civilian neighborhoods and hospitals are being targeted by Israel, and they are threatening to cut off the water and electricity in Gaza as well, turning the few running hospitals left to cemeteries.
Palestinians children are writing their names on their palms so people would recognize them, in case they end up being killed by Israel forces. Palestinians are writing their goodbye messages on social media because they aren't sure they'd still be alive tomorrow. There is so much atrocity going on, so many war crimes that the west have deemed reasonable because those are Palestinian lives that are taken, because Palestinians lives aren't as important as western ones, because international law doesn't apply when it comes to Palestinians.
it is unsettling and uncomfortable to watch these images of war, of beheaded children being carried by fellow civilians, of ambulance drivers falling to the ground from the horror of that they've witnessed, of cries of babies who are suddenly orphans, who have never known anything but violence and murder. But this is the reality of Palestinians, as it has been for the past decades. Please, I urge you, educate yourself on the ongoing conflict. There is no hard choice, there are no nuances that you need to take into consideration, there are no 'buts'. There is a colonization, an ethnical cleansing, a genocide, and Palestinians aren't the instigators of it. They are the ones paying the price.
Standing up for Palestine doesn't mean you are anti-jew, the proof is there are a lot of Jewish people standing with the Palestine cause, because they recognize the atrocities committed by the Israeli government. There were no "40 beheaded babies" by Hamas, this was a false information, consciously perpetuated by Israel then the USA so they'd be able to attack Palestine with a "reasonable" motive, only backtracking on it when the damage was already done. There aren't two sides. There is only one true side and it's Palestine.
+ u just have to click this link and the revenue generated by traction in this website will be donated to Palestine! it's only one click per day please do it
#ik we're mostly here to escape reality but this is a privilege on its own#Palestinians cannot turn off their suffering the way we can turn off the news#please please educate yourselves#stop believing the Western propaganda#we have learned time and time again that they'd do anything to justify the killing of people#that the hypocrisy of world leaders knows no limit#i have a plateform#albeit small but i have one#i hope this urges you to further learn about this ongoing colonization

“Is it bad that, I never made love?”
ft- Baki
Type of story: 🎂
Pre-view: A nerdy virg!n and hoodish!baki…😏
Warnings: no nsfw in this one, flirting and touching
Heyy just got the urge to write yk🌚
You were known for being the “shy”quiet A+ girl, work always turned in on time never failed to impress your teacher you would always make 80-100’s without fail everytime. Whenever your teacher asked the class to take notes or study your always the only one who listens. You had friends but not like those big friend groups just like 5-6 people max.
It was your last period of the day, and boy were you booked. You did little tutorials throughout the day 2 before school, maybe like 2-4 people during your break mid day and 1-2 people after school. Did you charge for it…hell yeah shit ain’t free nowadays. You make about 50-100 on good days but mostly 40-60 on regular days.
“Are you ever gonna lose your virginity?” one of your friends said.
“Uhm…I don’t know yet, I still haven’t decided”you said quietly writing in your notebook. “Girl there’s this cute boy in your his name is like Baki Hanma something like that yall would look cute together and I see the glances he gives to you from across the classroom.” your other friend teasing you, “Shut up! He probably does that to every girl he sees you don’t know that he’s one of the bad kids” shuffling in your backpack for your pink Ipad, you had a online tutoring business so people would go to your instagram clicking the link in your bio (pause) to make bookings to be tutored and see your schedule. You went to your website seeing the requests you had for tomorrow evening you clicked to see who booked and guess who it was. Yeah that’s right the good ole Baki hanma. Your jaw dropped and your friends were concerned rushing to look at your ipad. “Oh hell yeah! Girl this is your chance get you a man’s maybe even lose your virginity!!”.
Embarrassment was covered all over your face as you quickly closed your ipad case and shoved it in your backpack, “The bell rings in 2 minutes i’m just gonna head to class early” rushing out the library little black shoes tapping on the tile. It was the next day you had your pink skirt on with a cute graphic tee and knu skool vans with your braids in 2 cute high ponytails and lipgloss with your bracelets on. It was 3rd period and you had a class with Baki and 1 of your friends. Baki was always into trouble that’s why you didn’t want to fool around with him or be by him but the smell of his dior perfume and his cute fresh outfits everyday with his curly hair (the outfit not the dude) but today you were partnered up with him sense your friend wasn’t there and his other friend was in trouble. You were gonna beat your friends ass when you saw them, baki sat in the back so of course your teacher asked for you to go in the back with him.
You sighed as your made your way back head down, “Don’t be like that Mamas i’m not gon bite” You looked at him with a dirty look sitting down and paying attention to the teacher. The strong smell of his perfume he wore everyday and this baggy designer pants oh boy he was finer than a mf. The teacher gave you guys free time before the bell rang which was in the next 25 minutes so everyone was talking so you packed your stuff up getting ready to move back to your original seat you got up before you got dragged down roughly by your skirt revealing a bit of your hot pink laced panties.
“Hey! What the fuck?!” pulling up your skirt sitting still.
“Where you think ya going?” baki said looking at your pulling up your skirt.
“I’m going back to my fucking seat damn.” getting up once again.
“Hey, sit down.” It was something about the way he said it that made your body automatically sit back down.
“Good.” he scooted your chair closer “why you always tryna run or avoid me everytime you see me?” hooded eyes looking at you “Because your a trouble maker and annoying.” he chuckled at your response “So you saw my request for tutoring after this period right ma?” “Yes I did.” rolling your eyes, “Good. I didn’t know a little nerd like you wore lace panties that’s cute.” “S-shut up baki your so weird”
You got up as the bell rang, “We’re both going to the both place so we might aswell walk together” he said wrapping his arm around your waist. “Get the hell off of me” walking faster as you made your way towards the library. It was empty so you made your way to the back where you normally had your sessions. “You have a fatass ya know that right?!” baki said behind you. You quickly pull your skirt down pulling out a chair to sit in. “Sit down and let’s get this over with.” “Damn ma calm down.” He said pulling a seat right next to you pulling you closer to him once again. “What do you need help with?” looking at him annoyed. “Math homework” Okay let me see. As you were explaining and helping him he would trail his hands on your thighs squeezing the thickness everytime you tried to pull him off you failed so you just dealt with it.
He would look at your plump glossy lips while caressing your thigh his hands would slowly go further right next to your inner thigh hands all up in your skirt if he kept going further he would end up touching your hot core (i forgot the other saying) “It so warm up here ma.” “S-shut up.” As you were almost done he picked you placing you on his lap, “Baki no! Not here and never” you said trying to get up. “If you keep squirming like that your gonna have a bigger problem to fix ma.” you quickly sat still sighing plump ass sitting directly on his groin.
As you were reviewing the stuff you taught him, he would play with your pantie straps (idk😭) twirling them around his finger squeezing your hips. “Well sessions up” You said hopping off. “Already??” he said concerned. “Yes baki already.” Your skirt was rised up revealing your panties and your plump ass you finished putting your stuff up before you left baki gave you a 100 dollar bill. “It was only 20?!” you said confused “Yeah I know but I what wanted to thank you for the tutoring and something else.” He reached behind your gripping the thickness of your ass and pulling your skirt down before walking away. After all of that you got home ate and took your shower your were laying in your bed scrolling on your phone until you got a random text
“Hey mamas”
“Who’s this?”

Orrinir Relickim received an unusual wedding present from his husband, Uileac Korviridi: Bannain, a disobedient horse who seems determined to end his marriage. With a single kick to the chest, Uileac is out of commission from work at the War Academy, where both men serve as soldiers. Worse still, the entire country is preparing for Feast of the Horse, meant to reflect their country's rich nomadic heritage. Visitors are surging into the capital city and its suburb from all across the realm, where festivities will highlight both the army's strength and the beauty of High Poetry, their native magic system. Uileac was poised to perform dramatic feats of archery while Orrinir marched with the infantry, tasks now impossible given his serious injury.

Men we call Daddy | j.wy
sugar daddy! wooyoung x daddy issues! black! fem! reader
warnings: wooyoung is a soft dom, oral, unprotected sex, (bad idea chat), wooyoung is also a hopeless romantic.
note: this is for @frenchkisstheabyss bc she couldn’t find any wooyoung fics (she’s my favorite author and that might be the entire reason i wore this.) erm yeah. all of the links will be from pinterest!
some girls we call men. but jung wooyoung? we call daddy. but before we get into that, let’s start from the beginning. your dad and you just finished fighting again. you wanted to spite him, by getting a boyfriend. what you didn’t intend to do is get on a sugar daddy website. in your fit of rage, you ended up clicking on a guy that was 28, named jung wooyoung. you guys started talking and ended up skyping. wooyoung did expect a pretty girl, just not one in tears. he let you ramble on about your dad and how much you just wanted to get away from him. he ended up asking if he could take you to the local carnival on friday, and you said sure. you woke up on friday late, and checked you phoebe and then freaked out when you saw you had the carnival plans today. you stared at the wall for at least 40 minutes debating on canceling your plans or just telling wooyoung you’d be late. you ended up telling him you’d be late and he replied with “fine by me darling” with the smirking emoji. you start getting ready and do this outfit with this makeup. once you were ready to go, you checked your hair in the mirror and texted wooyoung you were ready for him to pick you up.
when wooyoung got there, you weren’t expecting him to pull up in a pink lamborghini, which he proceeded to say was for you. “wooyoung i can’t take this, i mean it’s yours-“ he cut you off with a shush. “don’t worry cupcake, i have 23 other ones.” he says, smirking. that’s when it clicks. you realize you clicked on a sugar daddy website, not a regular one. you panic, because you genuinely don’t know what to do. “i’m guessing you just realized i’m a sugar daddy.” he says, turning his head to see you looking like you’re about to flair your arms up in the air. he puts a hand on your thigh to calm you down. “don’t worry, i’m only 29. i’ll be thirty in november.” he says, rubbing your thigh. you relax as you take a closer look at him and realize how intimidading he looks. and then you see how he’s very likely to be the same height as your dad. and it clicks. you realize he could be your #1 defender from the tyrant you are forced to call father. you relax into his touch and he smirks. “see? you love me already.” he says with a wink. you roll your eyes and told him to keep driving.
when you arrive at the carnival, you’re stunned. it looks amazing. there’s lots of people so the streets are bustling. you look around and you realize this will be one hell of a night. bay the time you two were on your way home, you had four giant plushies in the back, and four mini ones in your lap. wooyoung pulled up to your house and left the car on. he figured he get you in and then call his limo driver to come get him. but when he rang the doorbell, a very drunk man appeared and yelled “who the fuck are you!” very aggressively. “well sir i took your daughter on a-” he tried to reply but got cut off. “ my daughter? she’s a bitch. don’t bring her back.” he slammed the door in wooyoung’s face. he then realized that’s who you were talking about when you said you had a tyrant father. he decided to take you to his penny’s house instead, so he got back in the car and drove you over to his luxury penthouse. when you woke up, you were in an unfamiliar room. all your plushies were next to you. you then smelled the aroma of bacon. you got out of bed and noticed you had a shirt on, that smelled delicious. when you got downstairs wooyoung was in the kitchen, humming to himself as he made breakfast. “morning sleeping beauty.” he says, in a teasing tone. “is this your shirt?” you ask him. ���because it smells really good.” you say, while sitting down at the table. “it is darling. i’m glad you appreciate the way i smell.” he says smirking. he finishes up breakfast and puts your plate in front of you. “breakfast is served.” he says, while bowing. the doorbell rings and he takes her apron off while walking to get it. suddenly seven other men enter. “i forgot to introduce you to my friends darling. these are hongjoong, seonghwa, yunho, yeosang, san, mingi and jongho.” each man waves at you and you wave back. you continue to eat breakfast as each of the men make their plates and sit around the table. you all converse in some different things.
that was 6 months ago. now 6 months into your relationship, you’ve completely moved out of the apartment you lived in with your father, and live a life of luxury with wooyoung. right now he's eating you out like a starved man. "ah-woo!" you moan as his tongue hits the right spots. "cum for me babygirl." he says, the vibration of his voice pushing you to your edge and you cum, all over his face. "good girl." he says, coming up with juices dribbling down his chin. he then stands up and takes his pants and boxers off. you marvel at how big it is, and before you can even worry about whether it'll fit, he calms you down with "don't worry babygirl. it'll fit, it has before." he says, spreading your legs. when he enters, you let out a moan you didn't even know you were holding. you feel like every time you guys have sex, he gets bigger. he lets you adjust to his size and then starts to move. he's moving at an immaculate pace. it feels so good and you release at the same time. you lay there entagled in each others arms for awhile until you both eventually fall asleep. a few days later you're watching a movie with wooyoung, cuddled in his arms. you realize while there is men who we can call boyfriends and husbands, we can simply call jung wooyoung daddy.

There is a difference between disrespected and being uncomfy and I appreciate your ability to at least see the nuance.
If you looked at the “show more” tab on the quotation link, it would have given you more options but I didn’t think I needed to explain that 🙃 The semantics of things seems silly after a point but I think we’re both still coming at a place of valid intention.
Similarly to some of my arguments it feels like you still neglect that history is full of things older and outside of the Jewish tradition (like Zoroastrianism, Phoenician/Canaanite tribes that were largely wiped out BECAUSE of tribal conflict that included a WIDE array of Jewish people up until, if I’m not mistaken, basically Babylon and even some of the literature around Ur and the Nile from how human became sentient has some oddly universal stories (forbidden fruit, the allegorical nature of the stars, the fall of man with Cain (farming) and Abel (hunter gatherer).
The point of this whole discussion stems from the argument from tradition which feels fallacious given how no one ACTUALLY claims anything after a certain point so why get your knickers in a twist to point out that, hey, maybe the nuance exists in ways that are legitimately concerning like why the IDF is systemically pulling fascist moves against Palestinians.
I appreciate your input nonetheless and think we largely agree, it’s just the gatekeeping piece that genuinely confuses me because it feels inherently oppressive to people who may think that the 40+ crowd who conveniently seem to be majority if not only men, get to dictate the narrative of how a specific religion operates, ESPECIALLY if that means *checks notes again* chopping a part of a baby’s dick off????
You're right, there is a difference between being disrespected and being un-comfy. I’m not un-comfy.
The “show more” tab under the famously inaccurate Google AI overview? Your argument for the reason that you can use quotes to paraphrase is that a hallucinating AI says so? I just want to be sure that’s your argument before I click the tab and check…
It still doesn’t say that. Like, that’s a bad argument because AI is not a valid counter to actual sources, but it’s also a bad argument because nothing in the link you gave actually said you could do what you did anyway. And then you tried to make me look foolish by implying that you need to explain to me that I just needed to click the “show more” tab. You might think we both have good intentions, but I am seriously doubting yours.
You’re shifting goalposts here. We started talking specifically about Jews and Jewish populations. I’m not neglecting the fact that history is full of things older than Judaism and outside of Judaism, they’re just simply not relevant to the specific conversation we’re having. And I’m not sure what you think I’m arguing from tradition, either. Unless you mean Jewish traditions themselves? I think it’s fair to say that our traditions are our traditions. If they need changing, that is for the Jewish community to decide amongst ourselves, not a conversation that you get to take part in.
I’m sorry you feel gatekept, but not everything in the world is available for you to take. Specifically closed religions, especially closed religions of minority groups, are not available to you. And I think this is a good thing. Jews are outnumbered on this planet 500 to one. If Judaism were an open religion, it would not be hard for a bunch of Christians to declare themselves Jewish, and then change Jewish practice to include Jesus. Like, to be very specific, there are more Evangelical Christian Zionists in the United States than there are Jews in the entire world. If they all declared themselves Jewish, but said they were keeping Jesus, the MAJORITY of Jews would be followers of Jesus. The gatekeeping is to ensure that changes to how we practice our religion and our culture come from us, and not overwhelming outside influences.
Circumcision is part of an important Jewish ritual. If Jews decide to stop observing that ritual, that decision needs to come from Jews, which you are not. Your opinion here simply doesn’t matter. I know that as a cultural Christian you need to feel centered in every conversation, but this one doesn’t involve you. In addition, the way you talk about what is really a beautiful ritual is disrespectful to the point of being dangerous. Christian obsession over circumcision has led to accusations of Jewish pedophilia and Jews doing satanic rituals with the collected foreskins, which have led to attacks against Jewish communities.
I’m sorry you’re not happy with your circumcision, though again, unless it was done as part of the Jewish tradition (and from what you said it seems like it wasn’t) then I’m not sure why you’re so hung up on Jews doing it. Why not start by advocating for non-Jews to stop doing it, as that seems like it would be more relevant to your personal trauma? Your obsession with the Jewish practice is antisemitic; you need to let it go.
#asks and answers#antisemitism#goydacity#my notifications are showing me that a few dozen people are finding this entertaining so we'll let it go for a bit longer

I remember this one time when Meghan said in her interview/podcast (or someone said this in her behalf) that Meghan was bullied relentlessly in school because everyone thought she was perfect, and I laughed my ass off at how off kilter someone's self assessment can be. Ifnwo deed then how she and why she was saying this. And now I think that was major projection because at some point she may done some reflection on why she has so many problems with Catherine of all people.
I think this photogate scandal explains that theory - that someone can be bullied because of their perfect image. A lot of other celebs are able to shake off major scandals of they have a perfect public image. For example, if someone came and said a horrible thing about Meryl Streep most people would simply ignore it. But it's because there is a huge PR machinery behind a celeb,and a huge celeb is a huge money making opportunity for those directly linked to them. So everyone from the agent to the associated brand goes into salvage mode.
When it comes to Catherine though, because her position she does not and cannot rely on a project created narrative. she is not an celeb, or a performer, she is a famous person. And even though she has been in the public eye for nearly 20 years, her role wasn't even constitutionally relevant till 8th Sept 2022, the day she became Princess of Wales. And even now, it is because of the constitutionally relevant role that her husband has.
This uniqueness of her position, the subltle nuance of that, is hard for the layman to grasp. Especially an American audience that culturally is very celeb and money centric. I say this because I do believe that controversial opinions and the wildfire of speculations about her are majorly coming from American commentators. American social media creators who rely on 40/20 sec clips on tiktok and insta have found that "where is Kate" is the biggest most lucrative click bait right now, and everybody and their grandma now has an opinion on it.
We live in a world of Charlene, Dubai princesses, Thai prinesses, North Korean dictators daughters/sisters/wife but we don't touch that with a 100 ft pole. Because it's uncomfortable. Because we know that noone is going to do anything to look into that.
But Catherine and husband's relationship is a free for all, all day buffet. Because she made herself available and catered to public's sensibilities. And when she drew a boundary she wouldn't budge. So everyone's sentiments get hurt now. The same people who gossip about her now would happily call her a step Ford wife and a clothes horse but ohh and ahh over her coat dresses and shiny hair and lovely shoes.
Noone stops for a second to think that maybe this woman is feeling unwell, is recovering from a surgery, has a serious medical issue and would like to recover at home without having to put on makeup and fake small talk with strangers.
We cry about feminism and equality and women's rights, but only applaud women who exhibit overt ambition. If a woman wants to stay at home, and is able to afford that, it's problematic. We want a woman to value self love and self care but if she prioritizes her health and care above public opinion she is dragged through the mud. Her health, her looks, her morals, her husband's morals, integrity, family values, privacy, her children's health, children's right to privacy....everything is open to discussion. And it's ok.
It's shameful and appalling that not ONE journalist, not one person with power, not one paper, publication or news Network has publicly spoken out in her favour and called out the bullying. This is not a Photoshop issue. It's just disguised as one. This gleeful gossiping about her "disappearance" is a gross violation of her rights.
Everything you've said is spot on. It is 100% American busybodies driving the criticism, controversy, and scandal. We/they don't understand what it's like to have someone who is above celebrity because our culture sees celebrity fame as the objective end-goal, so we demand for everyone to fit into our model of celebrity.
And while I have to give Meghan the benefit of the doubt and agree that she may have been bullied at school, I don't think it was for being perfect. That's Kate's story. All Meghan has done, since 2016, is portray Kate's life story as hers.

So I just got Hyrule Warriors and I love it. I would recommend playing. But it got me thinking and I decided to come up with my own version of the chain meeting ravio
The chain walked through a town in Legends era. Legends of course leading them.
“Where are we going again?” Twilight asked.
“Just to a friend's house, we need to resupply so I definitely need to talk to him. He's a salesman and a good one at that, so if there's anything you guys need, believe me, if it's in this era he can get it for us.”
Four smiled. “sounds like a handy friend to have.”
Legend finally stopped at one of the houses and knocked briskly on the door, he took a step back and a few moments later the door swung open. Revealing a nearly identical young man staring back at them. his eyes and his dark hair, the bunny hooded and purple outfit, were the only things that set apart this young man from Legend.
“I see you returned from your most recent travels. I hope they were profitable for you. oh I see you returned with family?” Legend's friend spoke with a nervous kind of excitement in his voice. The young man's eyes scanned the group of links before him. His eyes widened and surprised, as Warriors of all people laughed and pushed to the front of the crowd.
“Ravio!” he said and the two embraced to everyone's utter astonishment.
“Captain, you look healthier than the last time I saw you.” Ravio said as he pulled away from the captain looking him over.
“You seem to be doing well yourself.” Warriors pointed out resting a hand on Ravio's shoulder. Legend was finally able to get out of his State of Shock enough to shout.
“what, how, what's going on, how do you know each other. It was Warrior’s turn to look surprised. He looked back at Legend and the rest of the chain then turned back to Ravio.
“Well he certainly wasn't what I expected, but I suppose it makes sense the things you told me do fit in place perfectly. Though you always made him sound taller” Wars joked, Ravio laughed with him to Legends consternation.
“How could you two possibly know each other?” Legend stammered. Warriors raised an eyebrow at Ravio “You never told him.”
Ravio Shrugged and turned to Legend. “The captain and I met during the War of Eras.”
Legends looked flabbergasted. He stammered and stuttered for a few more seconds before he was able to blurt out. “When did you go to war and why didn't you tell me. Ravio looked down, avoiding his counterpart's eyes.
“I'll explain everything in a moment, but right now I don't want to be rude and leave you out here in the street, come in everyone.” Turning to Warriors in particular, Ravio smiled. “I finally get to fulfill the promise I made before the war ended. That if you ever managed to come out my way in time. I’d properly host you and your boys.” Ravio looked over the rest of them again. “I see you haven't managed to find them again.”
Wars side. “That's a complicated situation.”
Ravio shook his head in an understanding fashion. “Well no need to stand out here on the street corner come on in.” Ravio guided them to the dining room. He managed to hunt down plenty of chairs. brought cups of water for all of them and two wine glasses. One he sat down in front of Wars the other he sat at his own place. He then took a wine bottle from a Cabinet. “It's quite the nice vintage, 40 year old one. It should be a fine red wine. I believe you'll find it quite to your liking.” Ravio boasted with a rather proud smile on his face, as he poured the captain a glass and one for himself. They both raised their glasses. “To health and wealth. or Ravio offered.
“And to a new day.” Warriors finished, they clicked their glasses and took a long sip. Each then gave their opinion and discussed the drink. all the others sat quietly around the table fascinated as they watched the strange exchange.
Legends interrupted them. “Okay Ravio are you going to tell me what's going on now or are you going to just sit there drinking wine.” It came out more Snappy than he had meant it to. But Legend was sick of waiting. “What do you mean you've been in war.”
Ravio side looking crestfallen. “Look, it was almost three years ago now.”
“Is that why you suddenly became much more brave and selfless all the sudden?” Legends blurted out.
Ravio smiled “Yes it is actually. I wasn't on the front line very much. I mostly helped focus on keeping supply lines moving. But there were times when I did see battle.”
Legend looks shocked at the idea. Putting together in his head the picture of Ravio being involved in any of the things that Warriors had described the war of eras to be like. It seems so strange to try and think of Ravio as a part of it.
“Believe it or not, even a coward can fight with everything he has when There are no other options.” Ravio said, taking a sip of his wine. “Compared to many of the other war heroes that came from other eras, I feel like I didn't do very much in the grand scheme of things.” Warriors placed his wine glass on the table with a little bit more passion than needed. “That's not true, Ravio, you kepped our supply lines open when I couldn't. My entire army would have starved to death in the Gerudo desert had you not been able to keep the trade routes open. Not to mention I would have gone insane had you not been there to take over those duties for me.”
Ravio smiled “Yes you certainly had your hands full with those boys of yours, they kept you quite busy.”
Legend pushed in again. “I still don't understand why you never told me. I mean you went to war and didn't bother to mention it.”
Ravio took sudden interest in his drink. “You were already off on one of your own adventures when I was pulled into his era to begin with. When you came back, you were exhausted and injured, the last thing I think you really needed at the time was me bombarding you with stories. And well frankly I didn't think you would care very much.”
This hurt Legend more than he would ever admit. “You didn't think I'd care that you went off and fought in a war. Regardless of whether or not you were on the front lines you fought a war, of course I care. After my adventure and I had time to recover from that, you still never brought it up.” Ravio looked uncomfortable. “I didn't want to bother you with this Link. I saw things there that I can't ever forget. watching all of Lorule suffer was hard enough and then watching his era suffer in such a violent horrific way. That was so different from anything else I had known. Any form of suffering I'd ever seen before, part of me wants to forget it, wants to pretend it never happened. and the last thing I wanted to do was burden you with anything more. You have your own problems, your own pains and burdens. I didn't want to add to that.”
Legend couldn't help but feel a little bit hurt by his words. Ravio didn't think Legend cared about him. He'd never been the nicest person ever and he knew that, but he always thought Ravio understood that he still cared about him. They were friends after all.
Warriors smiled “Review may not have been on the front lines as much as some of the others but he came in just when we needed him on several occasions. One time when we were fighting in the Valley of Sears The enemy had cut off our retreat. we had no way out. both my army and Lana's army were trapped. General Impa was downed in the last battle so her army was still back at the war camp. Ravio stepped up and rallied their forces. Leading them in to battle and breaking through the enemy line to reprocure us. Without him we would have been massacred.”
“Wasn't it already a massacre? You lost 2/3 of your army.” Ravio pointed out.
Warriors face fell. “Let me lie to myself.” He told Ravio, his tone barely above a whisper.
Legend sat there listening and raptured by the tail Warriors spun. It had to be some elaborate trick. Ravia would never lead people into battle. He was too much of a coward. He'd come crawling to Legend to help save Lorule, because he was too much of a coward to do it himself. Then he remembered how after coming back he had seemed like a different person, more selfless and brave.
“You actually went through all of that.” Legend said Breathless with astonishment.
Ravio gave a sad nod. “I'll be the first to admit I was a coward. I didn't really grow a spine until after what cia did to the captain. Something about seeing him draw the master sword and become reckless and a brush. Watching him needlessly endanger the lives of himself and his soldiers. I thought of myself, my lust for wealth knowing how I had protected it at the expense of others. It made me think. Then when the captain tried to finish the war on his own and cia.” Ravio pauses, his voice catching the next words too hard for him to say. “Taught him humility in the worst way possible. Seeing what she had done to him after she humbled him. Something inside me shattered that day. My heart broke for him seeing that pain and suffering and those shattered pieces Burst Into a fire of determination. That I would never let something like that happen again.”
Legend was left speechless so wos everyone else for that matter. No one quite knew how to react to it, and so the Links did what they do best they stayed quiet. Warriors broke the silence first. “I'm so glad that you're safe now, and you don't need to fear that anymore.” He gave Ravio a warm smile.
Ravio returned it. “Tell me Captain, how are things in your era getting any better.”
Warriors shrugged. “Everything's still a mess but the fires are out. For me the war has only been over for 5 years, so we are starting to see a little bit of progress.”
Ravio seemed pleased by the news. “And what about yourself? How are you handling things.” Ravio asked with a sincere look on his face.
Warriors side. “I'm doing better with eating but that's about it. I smoke more than I should drink way more than I need to and well let's just say I have a few bad habits that have started.” As he finished his sentence. off instinct alone he reached up and rubbed his left arm. Ravio's eyes widened for a moment and then his face fell, looking truly saddened by what the captain was implying. He poured them another glass of wine.
They joked and laughed at things that they done or seen during the war. Told stories to the rest of the group reminisced and ruminated as only old war buddies could. A night spent in good company was something they had both learned never to take for granted.

RESULTS
Your personality is [most like]...
The President.
Your strength is that you are honest about your feelings. Your energy as a leader is undefeatable.
However, you should maybe consider other people's feelings at least a little bit.
THIS → is the perfect partner for you!
Your perfect match is...
The President's wife.
She's straightforward about her feelings, more so than you.
She always toys with you.
However, that's because she believes in you.
→ Back
(note: I have absolutely zero confidence in that middle sentence.)
Your personality is [most like]...
Olimar.
A hard-working man who loves his family. He is popular among the Pikmin for his leadership.
However, he's a bit unlucky.
THIS → is the perfect partner for you!
Your perfect match is...
Olimar's wife.
No matter how destitute, she will always support you with great love.
There can be no secrets (such as a certain safe) between lovers or husband and wife.
You two can keep it together and not let the recession get to you.
→ Back
Your personality is [most like]...
Louie.
You're not so good at communication. People tend to misunderstand you, and have no idea what you're thinking.
Maybe you should voice your feelings more often?
THIS → is the perfect partner for you!
Your perfect match is...
Louie's nana.
Her narrow eyes make her look like she can't see anything. But trust me, she definitely sees the real you.
Even if it's hard, please indulge her as much as you can.
→ Back
(note: another really hard phrase to translate on the partner pages, yowch. this time, it was the last line of her description.)
Your personality is [most like]...
The Hocotate Ship.
On the outside, talkative to the point of being a blabbermouth.
But on the inside, actually a bit dry.
THIS → is the perfect partner for you!
Your perfect match is...
Mr. Beady Long Legs.
A strong personality that will really shake your heart. Whether it's out of fear or love, your heart will keep thumping.
Once you get over these feelings, a new you awaits...... Probably.
→ Back
(note: because "さん" is gender neutral, this could equally be Ms. Beady Long Legs. hocotate ship yuri, i GUESS.)
Your personality is [most like]...
The Pikmin.
Serious and hard-working. Your strong suit is cooperating with others. The type to thoroughly devote yourself.
But maybe you could assert yourself a little more?
THIS → is the perfect partner for you!
Your perfect match is...
Mr. Bulborb.
It will lead you with a WILD personality.
A big maw awaits you.
Please look forward to some wild kisses.
→ Back
(note: again, could be Ms. instead)

🔍Deep Dives🔎
Long posts that sparked my hyperfixation and had me red-string-theory connecting lore dots until I landed on a narrative that made sense in my head
tags to other metas: bg3 meta, bg3 lore, bg3 discourse, deep dive
Gale and Mystra (and Mystra, and Mystra...) - Meta post that dives into Forgotten Realms lore to discuss Mystra's multiple lives/deaths, how Gale fits into the timeline, when Mystra visited Gale, etc Shadow Curse Events series - Meta posts that dive into Ketheric's descent into Sharran zealotry, his war against the Harpers and Druids, and the first 40 days of the shadow curse. Illithid Souls series - Meta posts that dive into the D&D lore about illithids and souls before turning to look at how the game uses/changes that lore by examining Tab/Durge, Orpheus, Karlach, and Gale after they become mind flayers. When was Gale Chosen? - Another timeline combing Faerûn lore with Gale's timeline, along with a poll where a couple hundred people voted on Gale's age when he was Chosen. (not a deep dive, but could be helpful)

In Fathoms Below Masterlist
Plot: The island city of Nautera disappeared over 4500 years ago, if it ever existed at all. Now not a single, legitimate record of Nautera exists, save for one. The Nauterran Account. Long thought lost, it has recently been retrieved from the depths of Candlekeep’s archives and placed into the capable hands of one Gale Dekarios. With the Nauterran Account in hand and an eclectic team of Baldurians and other allies mounting an official expedition, Gale journeys to find the ruins of Nautera…but hopes to find so much more.

Been looking for people not on my team to attack and I want to give art to people who have done a bunch of attacks and not got a lot back because everyone deserves to get some art for putting in effort, so I go to the target hunting spreadsheet and literally go to the "low defense" tab and literally out of the bunch of links I clicked on only one or two of them had genuinely more attacks than defenses. Like?? Why is everyone else here, go away??? There are people who genuinely dont have a lot of art but people are being greedy putting their info in there saying they have "low defense" when they have like 7 attacks and 6 defenses or like 14 defenses and 3 attacks (more so the latter). Like huh??? Its so annoying fr. Let me give art to people who actually deserve something back!! -- an artist with ~40 attacks and ~15 defenses.
