Sanji and Nami both have stomach problems because of their childhood.
They've taken different things from it: for Nami, malnutrition was always connected to being poor. Should her family have money, she wouldn't have been eating tangerines for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For Sanji, all the riches in the world didn't matter because he did have gold and jewelry back on the lone rock in the sea where he'd been deserted for days, but one cannot eat gold.
(DISCLAIMER: please note that I only did a personal superficial research of some articles and studies and have no medical education whatsoever, so correct if wrong. also I'm not talking about his childhood before meeting zeff bc I'm not caught up with the manga)
Obviously his digestive system is fucked up, but when one is starved for days (especially a child!) it can cause waaay more trouble. Specifically, while having little/no food a person becomes very irritable (check) probably due to hunger and low blood sugar (unverified), when their body doesn't receive the required fuel it starts to consume its own resources, hence the reduction of the body mass (he looks pretty slim in the beginning), anemia can develop and cause hair loss and nails breaking. Poor blood circulation due to low energy, some organs like lungs and heart can be decreased in size (add his smoking habits in the future to the list), and body temperature falls. Not even mentioning drowsiness, bad skin condition due to harsh weather and overall anxiety! And this guy is working in CATERING after all this shit (which is extremely exhausting and nerve-wracking, ask your waiter or cook friend).
Dang, he probably got some bad habits after this too, like never throwing away food even if it's moldy and eating it, getting even worse stomach problems from that!! Hopefully Zeff stops him from it.
No fucking wonder Sanji's love language is food. He's always ready to feed the hungry. He's going to learn all his crew members' allergies and preferences and cater to their needs. He creates a dietary plan for everyone to keep their bodies healthy and kicking and happy.
#one piece#black leg sanji#vinsmoke sanji#I love my baby boy immensely#I've been wondering why I have such a soft spot for this silly guy#that's it: our appreciation of food (and stomach issues)#also was thinking of my grandparents who were malnourished in the war and the habits it triggered#oops the rant got long

tell me about your phannie journey?
How did you know I was in a mood to yap about dnp and myself anon?
Under a cut cause itâs long and self-indulgent
I started watching in summer 2012. I actually looked up my first video a few month ago and it was The Meaning of Life. Which yeah, tracks. I then tore through their backlog. I was immediately a phan shipper btw. I saw the blindfolded cat video and just knew.
I was on tumblr at the time (not on this blog, on my first blog) and dipped my toes into the phandom at the time. Mostly just lurked but it was fun.
Until the video leaked in October. Things were chaotic to say the least. And then there was the customer service blog which,,, was,,, bad.
I was 16 almost 17 and fully aware I was queer. A lot of the conversations at the time from the phandom (and from dan sorrryyyy) were not great and I didnât really want anything to do with it.
So I had left the phandom pretty completely in 2013 although I still kept up with their videos and would occasionally lurk in the tag.
And then I started college in 2014 and completely left fandom. I stuck around on tumblr for a little bit longer and never left YouTube but I was pretty offline (comparatively). I was living a party hard, study hard lifestyle which didnât leave much time for online life.
I do remember most of the big phannie stuff. Gaming channel. TATINOF/TABINOF announcement and the fallout from that. BONCAS. So I was kinda keeping up.
Until around 2018, when I started grad school. I was still watching their videos but I was fully off tumblr and wasnât watching livestreams or anything. So I was aware of the changing vibes in their videos but not thinking much about it. I missed a lot of the II era.
BIG dropped when I was at my job in the state capitol lmao. Absolutly totally blindsided me. Had to wait hours to watch it. Which these days would have been torture but at the time I was less emotionally invested. Still cried tho.
Finished my masters program in 2020 (lol) and moved to Nashville. I worked from home and didnât know anyone besides my roommates so I got back on tumblr and returned to my chronically online roots.
I was super into the stereos and Philâs videos at the time. I was aware of WAD and watched Dystopia Daily. I also caught up on a lot of the stuff I missed.
But I didnât join the tumblr phandom until gaming channel came back. Pretty much as soon as it was announced I was dialed in. I think I made this sideblog when the catboy sweater and pictures dropped. And now I am way more obsessed with them then I ever was in the last 12 years oops đ€·đ»ââïž
To get sappy, the past year has been the most into phandom Iâve ever been and itâs come at a really important time for me. Real life is so kicking my ass right now and the phandom is such a source of joy and connection for me đ«Ł
#this got long#but my friend called and she was drunk and just needed to rant about men so I half listened and typed this up oops#dan and phil#phan

Jey is so genuine and real. I think that's why the audience loves him so much. He's fun now, but we a character torn down, lose everything and build himself back up. It was way before Yeet, people were going nuts for him months before that. I remember the segment on Smackdown when he kicked Paul. That was before the wave and yeet. People LIKE Jey.
Iâm gonna start rambling a little, please bear with me lol. Iâll put some of it under the cut.
Roman and a lot of other legends of the business have previously shared that the ultimate secret to success is being your authentic self. Taking your most prominent traits/ the things that make you YOU and dialing them up by a billion to build and focus your character work around them.
The truer you stay to your own self, the more organic you feel and the more people will buy into it.
And we see it work for so many great performers in the business. The crowd eats it up.
But additionally to that Jey also has that thing that not many people have. And thatâs a genuine connection to the audience. Not in a strategic or manipulative manner, but in a very natural and organic manner. You canât force that. You either have it or you donât. And Jey has IT.
And I think thatâs mostly due to his mentality thatâs been shining through more and more ever since he got some of that spotlight on him.
Heâs that hardworking underdog persona (people like to draw the parallels to Sami on this one, but with as much as these two have in common, theyâre also vastly different in how they got there).
Jeyâs side of it is that despite his family being the foundation of the business, despite the history and success of his family, he doesnât take anything for granted ever.
Heâs insistent on making his own way to the top, heâs humble and grateful for any and all opportunities and advice. He takes the losses and learns from them, he takes the wins and doesnât rest on them.
Heâs been riddled with insecurity and Iâd even go as far as saying âburdenedâ by the legacy of his family and his success in the tag division.
Yes, it helped him in this business for sure, but at the same time it also put a chip on his shoulder. Cause it means he has to work twice as hard as everyone else to convince people that his success is earned and not given. That he can be âmoreâ than a nepo baby or a tag team guy. That he deserves this spot.
Iâd go as far as to say that by leaning into his natural hardworking and humble persona heâs made himself into the ultimate babyface in recent years.
Storyline wise⊠Iâm not gonna go into his character work during the pandemic era, cause weâll never truly know about the crowd reaction, but I honestly believe thatâs when the groundwork for todayâs success was laid out. Cause thatâs when we saw the first glimpses of who Jey truly is.
Then later on, once the crowds were back, you can see that when he broke character while still heel (mostly thanks to Sami, I mean⊠that Waffle House clip? The ucey segment?) and then when he was finally allowed to be his happy and upbeat self around Sami? People ate that up.
And when he was going against Roman finally? Working against the overpowering force and legacy that is his family, being the hero of that story? Manifesting himself as the underdog babyface? People ate that up too.
And that was honestly just him dialing into the person that he truly is backstage when you listen to all the other talent talk shoot about him too. (I wanna add that Jimmy is doing the same thing now, leaning into his social butterfly, joke-cracking comedy tendencies and look how into that the crowd is already. Big things are coming.)
Yeah, the Yeet caught on fire and was what really got him OVER OVER, but he was super over before that already, you are absolutely correct about that. People like Jey and what he stands for. Hard work, betting on yourself, being humble, being real.
The Yeet thing was honestly just the rocket that got strapped to his back and sent him to superstardom. Itâs what finally made the company buy into him, cause they could make some real money off of him as a singles guy.
But he was a star and extremely popular long before that.
#sorry about the long rant#I really got into my feelings oops#but honestly⊠the people who say heâs only popular because of his entrance can go fuck themselves#cause itâs simply not true#jey uso#wwe#m answers#replies#asks#ask#lovely anon

The Frozen Lake
It was the third day since he had stopped feeling like dying.
About a week ago he had woken up from his far too lifelike fever dream and a few days later the last spikes of the fever itself had been gone too just like the hallucinations it had brought in his sleep.
He still had been sick though and welcomed Rael telling him to stay in bed until he was perfectly healthy again all too eagerly.
While he still sneezed every now and then, it was at least tolerable now, still annoying but he didnât feel incredibly uncomfortable anymore.
That day, just like the last and also the ones before that, he had awoken late. Against Raelâs order to stay in bed he had found the courage to get up and take a look out of the window. It was a sunny day, which in Coerthas still meant that it was bitterly cold though. But the sun was shining brightly and already high in the sky too which meant it had to be almost midday. He had slept way too long again, way to many hours for a surprisingly dreamless sleep. Or maybe it was exactly the lack of dreams that allowed him to finally rest, after all in the past there rarely had been good onesâŠ
For a moment he considered to go downstairs and ask for a late breakfast if that wasnât too insolent given the late hour but then a knock sounded from the door.
Quickly he hurried back to bed, just in case it was Rael, but the person who carefully peeked into the room a few seconds later wasnât a viera.
âAh, you are awake! Thatâs good!â, Haurchefant exclaimed happily and brought a small tray with hot soup and also something warm to drink. âIt is so late already, you must be horribly hungry. Alphinaud checked in on you earlier but you were still fast asleep and he didnât have the heart to wake you.â
A little uncertain on how to answer to that, Aâviloh just nodded. Haurchefant grinned, put down a mug on the bedside table and handed Aâviloh a comfortingly warm bowl filled with some rather delicious smelling stew.
Instead of fetching the chair from the small desk by the window, Haurchefant sat down at the lower end of the bed balancing the tray with his own lunch on his knees. Rael once told him that ishgardian society had an absurd amount of strict and antiquated rules and so Aâviloh couldnât help but wonder, that although it seemed like a very appropriate distance to him, in Haurchefantâs hometown the fact alone that he dared to sit on someone elseâs bed was probably scandalous.
âI hope you donât mind me having lunch with you.â, the Elezen asked as he noticed Aâviloh staring.
Quickly the Miqoâte lowered his gaze to his bowl of soup. âNot at all.â, he muttered and tried a spoonful of the food just to change the topic. âMhh, this is very good!â, he mumbled, still chewing, surprised by how good this really was compared to the bland food and bitter teas Rael had usually brought him these last few days. It must have been the Vieraâs way of punishing him for running away.
Haurchefant laughed and then for a while they ate in silence.
âYou look a lot healthier already.â, the Elezen stated after a while with an amiable smile on his face before taking a sip from his mug.
Aâviloh shrugged a little embarrassed, since it had been his own fault that he hadnât been well in the first place. âOnly because all of you took so good care of me.â
Haurchefant nodded. âYou know, you had us all horribly worried right?â
âSorry about that.â, he said and guitily looked into his mug.
Curiously Haurchefant eyed him for a moment. âWhy did you do that anyway? Run out into the storm.â
A bit surprised Aâviloh looked up. Had they all thought he had done this on purpose? âThere wasnât a storm when I left! What do I know about weather? I didnât expect it to start snowing, let alone that much!â
That made the Elezen chuckle again but he still looked at him expecting an answer.
âStill⊠why did you leave?â
âI assumed Rael told youâŠâ, Aâviloh replied not sure what Haurchefant wanted to hear exactly. He nodded. âRael did. But maybe I want to hear it from youâŠâ
Aâviloh sighed. His plan hadnât been very smart and he felt a little uncomfortable having to explain his reasons to someone else, when in retrospect it didnât make much sense even to his own ears.
âYou know the⊠circumstances under which we fled Ulâdah⊠I couldnât⊠um⊠the fact that we didnât even know what happened to our friends⊠I wanted to find out, because it doesnât seem fair to me that we escaped while all of them didnâtâŠâ
âMhhâŠâ, Haurchefant nodded thoughtfully but let go off the topic for now. Instead he asked, âAnd how are you feeling today?â
Somehow that question confused Aâviloh even more.
âWhat do you mean?â
âItâs a simple question, isnât it?â, he said still smiling politely.
Of course it was a simple question. Just the answer felt unreasonable complicated to him. To make things even more difficult people who asked such a question usually wanted to hear âIâm fine, and you?â or âVery good, thank you.â for an answer and rarely the truth. They certainly didnât want to hear âA few days ago I was convinced I was going to die and honestly it wasnât that bad, so now Iâm still not sure wether I am happy to still be alive or notâ.
âAlright⊠I guess.â, he mumbled instead. He had never been a good liar and could only hope that this fact wasnât too obvious for the Elezen.
âYou know what?â, Haurchefant proclaimed after watching him thoughtfully for a second. âToday is a wonderful day. We should go for a walk.â
âA walk?!â, Aâviloh exclaimed wide-eyed, as if he had just asked something unreasonable of him.
âWhy not?â
Aâviloh couldnât think of a good reason why not, other than that he was supposed to stay in bed, so he shrugged.
âWhereâs Rael?â, he asked instead.
Haurchefant smirked. âDo you need Raelâs permission to go outside?â
âOf course not.â, the Miqoâte protested. âBut Rael will be mad if I run off again, especially against their orders to stay in bed.â
âRael and Alphinaud went to the observatory earlier.â, Haurchefant explained. âWeâll be back before they are, I promise.â
What was Aâviloh supposed to say against that and also against the expectant look on the Elezenâs face. He took another glimpse towards the window and decided that it looked nice enough to go outside.
âFine.â
âGood!â, Haurchefant exclaimed happily and collected their empty bowls and mugs. âThere should be warm clothes for you in the wardrobe. If you need anything else just ask someone. Iâll wait for you by the northern gate.â
After Haurchefant had left, Aâviloh remained sitting in his bed for a moment longer contemplating on the Elezenâs question. Yes, he felt better again. But better in what comparison? Better than a few days ago when he had felt and also been half-dead? Though he didnât feel sick anymore now, there still was a weigh on his heart. From his plan that had failed so spectacularly and even more so from the dreams he wouldnât have minded to keep on dreaming forever.
Vehemently he shook his head and decided not to think about that now or he would just crawl back under the blanket of his comfortably warm bed again. Instead he got up and took a look into the wardrobe. Almost none of these were his own clothes of course since all he possessed were the ones he had worn on his body that day they fled Ulâdah. Very unsuitable for this climate. But neither did he see the borrowed clothes he had worn that night when he had tried to run away. Everything in here looked even softer and warmer like someone had wanted to make sure he was feeling comfortable. To his surprise the things didnât look that much too big for him either, unlike his last set of clothes. Besides a few Hyur most people here at Camp Dragonhead were grown up Elezen but these clothes looked like they belonged to neither. Maybe it were clothes for Elezen children, he wondered and also thought that in that case someone must have brought them here just for him.
Grateful for so much effort he picked a few pieces and got dressed. Lazily he ran his fingers through his hair to get rid of the worst knots but the look into the small mirror at the washbasin, where his tired face stared back at him reproachfully, just made him sigh. Once he was ready he took the warm coat out of the wardrobe too and went out to look for Haurchefant. Just as he had said, the Elezen was standing by the gate that led to the north-east, towards the ruins of the Steel Vigil.
From afar Haurchefant already recognised the Miqoâte, his bright red hair a singularity among all the people living here. Pleasantly smiling as always he waved at him and Aâviloh couldnât help but smile a little too and wave back as he hurriedly walked towards him.
âThere you are! I see the clothes fit you nicely.â
Aâviloh nodded.
âThey do. Thank you very much for these.â
Haurchefant dismissively waved with one hand. âItâs the least I could doâŠâ
But he had done a lot more than that, Aâviloh thought. âI think thereâs more I need to thank you for. Rael told me it was you who saved my life.â
âMhhhâŠâ, Haurchefant tilted his head as if he wasnât sure if this statement was entirely the truth. âRael is too humble. They played a bit of a role in that too. After all it was Rael who noticed you were gone. And it was also Rael who didnât leave your bedside and tried their best to heal you.â
Aâviloh remembered waking up and finding the usually quite touch-averse viera cuddled up to him with a look on their face so horribly sad like he had never seen on them before. Rael had pretended it was nothing but it had been a very unconvincing performance. Asked about it Alphinaud had only offered a few sentences about how worried Rael had looked and how they had used all kinds of spells he himself had never seen or heard of before, all of it to try and save him. It had made him feel even more guilty for his stupidity.
So maybe Haurchefant was right. But still it had been him who had risked going out into the storm to find him.
âAnyway. I still want to thank you! Honestly.â, he insisted. But how honestly was it really?
Sure, he was glad to still be alive. After all his plan hadnât been to run out into a blizzard and freeze to death, although some of them seemed to think that was the case. But once he found himself in this situation he had to admit that he had welcomed his fate rather willingly. A fact that shocked even himself a little looking back at it now.
âYouâre welcome. After all you wouldnât be any help to your friends frozen to death out there.â, Haurchefant joked with a wry smile on his lips.
âI guess not...â, Aâviloh muttered, the topic of his friends making his mood visibly sink again.
Of course the Elezen noticed and his smile turned into a playful grin. âBut I acted a little selfish too, you know? I think Camp Dragonhead is a lot friendlier with your company and I would like to have you and your pretty smile around a little longer.â
For a moment Aâvilohâs eyes shot up to look at the others face before he quickly pretended that something somewhere a little bit to his left was a lot more interesting. Sometimes Haurchefant randomly said things, Aâviloh hadnât had the slightest idea how to react to. Not because he was that oblivious but simply because it puzzled him. Nonetheless the air suddenly didnât feel that cold anymore on his face.
Haurchefant was always very kind to him. Well, he mostly was kind to everybody but sometimes he seemed to admire him especially. Him of all people, although there was nothing special about him. Haurchefant sometimes spoke of him like he was one of the greatest heroes of all time and it felt so ridiculous to him. He was just silly, cowardly Aâviloh! What had he ever achieved in his miserable life to justify such admiration? The people called him a Warrior of Light but wasnât that some grand overstatement? Some days he thought all of this had been a horrible mistake. A great misunderstanding! Then he wondered how he had ever gotten entangled in this madness in the first place and also if he ever would get out of it again. But what else should he do with his life anyway...
While Aâvilohâs brain still screeched in desperate search for a proper response, Haurchefant seemed to realise he had flustered him and glossed it over by gesturing to the gate.
âHow about we walk a few yalms? Thereâs something you need to see!â
Still too dumbstruck to speak or to even wonder what the Elezen was talking about, Aâviloh nodded and then proceeded to follow him out into the snowy landscape.
After a few minutes Haurchefant paused and took a deep breath. âIsnât the air wonderful today?â
Aâviloh followed his example, breathed deeply and let his gaze wander over the snow covered landscape with a few pines here and there and the mountains and ruins of the Steel Vigil in the distance. The air was cool and fresh, still cold enough that the warm sun couldnât melt the snow. Instead the rays of sunshine made the scenery shine and sparkle as if everything was covered not in ice but in millions over millions of tiny diamonds.
âIt is.â, he answered and smiled, surprised how beautiful this inhospitable landscape could be, before with a sudden spark of curiosity he finally asked. âWhere are we going?â
âItâs not far anymore.â, Haurchefant said with a grin on his face and pointed into another direction. Shortly after and only a bit further ahead they reached a small lake.
As they got closer Aâviloh noticed that it not only was covered in a layer of snow and ice but also that quite a few off-duty soldiers, given the proximity to the camp he assumed they had to be, were standing right on top of the frozen lake. No, they were not quite standing. It looked more like they were dancing or flying maybe. More or less gracefully they moved over the lakeâs surface in fluid swift strides, some just moving in wide circles and other swirling around this way or that. Aâviloh had never seen something like this and it looked strange and impossible but at the same time very beautiful to him.
The two of them had almost reached the lake by then, Aâviloh a few steps ahead to get a better look at the wondrous people on the ice and he already wanted to ask how they did that, when his attention was drawn elsewhere by a curious squawking sound.
âOh! Look at them!â, the Miqoâte exclaimed, his fascinated smile still turning a little brighter, as he gestured to a small flock of wild geese resting at the shore of the lake. With ruffled feathers they sat closely huddled together at the edge of the ice and suddenly Aâviloh couldnât help but worry about them. They looked so unbothered by his presence, sleeping through the day and all the hubbub around them, looking all exhausted and frozen with their puffed up feathers. Like anything could happen to them and they wouldnât even mind.
Strangely he wondered what he himself had looked like when Haurchefant had found him unconscious in the snow. He must have been a pitiful sight. Had the Elezen thought him beyond saving too, just like he himself had. What if he had found him a little later or not at all? Maybe that would have been better, a voice murmured to him just like it had so many times before and for a moment, tempted by the grief heavy on his heart once again, he almost believed it.
But no, he would be dead then and while he would have liked to imagine that this would mean he could be with his loved ones again, it was not exactly what either of the tribes he had lived with believed.
Vaguely he remembered his father working for hours, digging a grave at what used to be Wellwick Wood. An elderly woman too exhausted by their long journey, his grandmother if he remembered correctly, had died shortly after they had arrived there. With a sad smile on his face his father had explained to his children, who had stared down into the hole in the ground with confusion in their eyes, how by returning her body to the earth there could still grow new life from this death.
Or the drake tribe of the Sagolii Desert, who always burned their dead and left the ashes to be carried away by the desert wind, believing that it would make it easier for the deceasedâs aether to return to the Aetheric Sea and create something new elsewhere.
With a sudden sharp pain in his heart Aâviloh realised that neither of the people he loved had gotten the burial they would have wanted for themselves. And neither had Aâviloh himself wanted to die in the coldness of Coerthas and be forever forgotten under a thick layer of snow and ice. He had thought about dying before but never had he been this close to it. For a second he wondered if this was something worth speaking to Rael about, but he wasnât sure they wouldnât misunderstand and get mad at him again.
âWhy do you make such a sad face now?â, Haurchefant asked having noticed the smile slip from the Miqoâteâs face. But Aâviloh just vehemently shook his head and focused on the geese again.
âThey must be horribly cold.â, he wondered in a voice that suggested he already planned to take all of them to the safety of his comfortably warm room.
Haurchefant chuckled. âDonât worry, they survived the storm out here after all. They keep each other warm, thatâs why youâll rarely see one of them alone. A bit like you and your friends.â
âMaybeâŠâ, Aâviloh answered thinking about this comparison for a moment. âI just wish it wouldnât always be me who needs to be taken care of. But as proven in Ulâdah and now once again I am simply too weak and useless to keep myself alive, not to mention anyone else.â
The Elezenâs face got a little stern as he folded his arms in front of his chest. âDonât say that, I am sure itâs not true! This was just bad luck! You are neither weak nor useless!â
Aâviloh shrugged. âBut thatâs how I feel right now...â
Slowly Haurchefant nodded before speaking again with a silent but determined voice. âListen. Iâll never forget how bravely you fought for Francel although you barely knew him. You could have gotten yourself in trouble with that and you helped him anyway.â
âItâs not like I did that on my own -â, Aâviloh tried to protest but was immediately interrupted. âBut you still helped! And Iâm sure even without Rael you would have done so!â
Another shrug was all Haurchefant got in response, so the Elezen thought for a second before making an offer. âYou want to make yourself useful, right? Get stronger? I could teach you how to fight like a real ishgardian knight, with sword and shield. Or we have some dragoons at Camp Dragonhead too! Iâm sure thereâs a lot you could learn from them.â
Aâvilohâs face turned to disbelief. âI really donât think I could fight with armor and weapons this heavyâŠâ
âYou canât say so if you donât try! And I have you know that dragoon armors are surprisingly light. How do you think they could still be this agile otherwise? Promise me to at least try training with them a little!â
He didnât really want to agree to that. He knew he would make a fool of himself. But how could he say no with Haurchefant trying everything in his power to cheer him up. Weakly he shook his head and muttered: âFineâŠâ
âPerfect!â, Haurchefant exclaimed with a bright smile on his face. âI think an early reward for your efforts is appropriate then!â
Confused Aâviloh watched him take a small bag off of his shoulders, which he hadnât even noticed until now. For a moment the Elezen was busy undoing a knot before he opened the bag and presented to Aâviloh a set of two weirdly shaped blades attached to pieces of wood with leather straps. He had no idea what these constructs were meant to do and that was plainly visible on his face. âWhatâs that?â
âIce skates of course!â, Haurchefant said as if that would explain it all but the Miqoâteâs face remained clueless, so Haurchefant gestured to the lake behind them. âYou attach them to your boots so you can walk on the ice like this!â
âOh!â, Aâviloh exclaimed as he understood what Haurchefant was planning. âI donât think-⊠I mean Iâve never-⊠You donât really want me to step on that lake do you?â The idea somehow scared him.
âWhy not?â, Haurchefant asked for the second time today with this smile that made the question sound like a challenge.
âItâs just a bit of ice!â, Aâvi objected. âWhat if it breaks?â
The Elezen shook his head and proceeded to fasten the metal blades beneath his boots. âAh, donât worry. The ice is thick enough, it will take at least a few more days to melt.â
âI donât knowâŠâ, was all Aâviloh replied as Haurchefant pressed another pair of skates into his hands. But the Elezen remained determined and took a few wobbly steps through the snow and onto the ice. âSee! I can stand on it and it doesnât break! You are a lot lighter than me, so why wouldnât you be able to?â
Oh, you donât know my bad luck!, Aâviloh thought but Haurchefant didnât look like he would take that for an excuse. Instead he stretched out a hand towards the Miqoâte. âCome one! Believe me, this is going to be funny!â
For a second Aâviloh pondered his options. The idea of nothing but a little bit of ice between him and the water still terrified him but Haurchefant seemed so excited about this and the other people actually seemed to have fun too. Maybe he should at least pretend to try... Reluctantly he sat down on a rock and tried to put on the skates just like Haurchefant had done a moment ago.
âThe clasp on the back too. Make sure none of them are loose⊠Yes, that looks fine!â, Haurchefant helpfully explained. As Aâviloh got up, he almost flopped right back down into the snow. It was a weird feeling to balance his whole weight on only two thin pieces of metal. As he carefully took the first few steps towards the lake Haurchefant reached out for him once more. âHere! Take my hand! I donât want you to fallâŠâ
Hesitantly Aâvi stepped onto the ice and immediately felt like the ground was being pulled away beneath his feet. He struggled for balance, feeling himself falling backwards, so Haurchefants arm was a very welcome thing to hold on to.
With a chuckle the Elezen tried to loosen Aâviâs desperate grip on his arm and instead took each of his hand in one of his own before carefully making slow steps backwards pulling Aâviloh over the ice, which Aâvi could swear was making suspicious crackling sounds below them. There was no way to tell the blades beneath his feet not to move, so all Aâviloh could do was try not to fall and plead to Haurchefant with ears flat on his head and panic in his eyes, as he slowly was pulled further onto the lake. âNo, no, no. Take me back, thatâs a horrible idea!â
âCalm down. Thereâs nothing to be afraid of. I promise.â, Haurchefant said soothingly and continued to explain to him how to move on the ice skates. And in fact the Elezenâs calm voice slowly made Aâviloh feel less anxious. His hands, frantically clasping at Haurchefantâs, relaxed along with his legs. It was still a weird feeling to be standing on the ice but now it felt a lot easier to remain balanced. He glanced at the people around them while remaining as still as possible, studied their movements for a moment and then tentatively tried to mimic the way they slowly pushed their feet above the slippery surface. To his surprise he really moved forward without much effort and also without feeling the sensation of falling again, closer to Haurchefant who had steadied him with his outstretched arms so far.
âSee! Itâs not that difficult.â, he said while making another step backwards so Aâviloh had to follow with another step forward. The Miqoâte, strangely excited about the fact that he was actually moving on these weird ice-blades, laughed happily. âYou are even going backwards!â
Haurchefants laughed. âOne step after the other. Letâs teach you how to go forward first, hm? Iâll let go off one of your hands but donât worry, I still got you. One feet after the other just like you did beforeâŠâ
In fact it almost felt easier now that he could use one of his arms to balance himself. Very slowly at first they floated above the icy surface of the lake but soon Aâviloh got braver. Once he almost lost his balance but for a comparably tall and strong person like Haurchefant it seemed like a very easy task to keep a small Miqoâte on his feet. Almost falling had felt like a shock for a second but only moments later they were laughing about it and in the end Aâviloh was surprised and also a little proud how quickly he had learned and how much fun this was.
He wasnât sure how much time they spent there on the frozen lake but at some point a bell sounded from the nearby Camp. Startled Aâviloh looked up (and almost lost his balance again). âHow late is it? Iâm sure you have more important things to do than this! Iâm sorry if Iâm keeping you from doing your work.â
But Haurchefant just laughed and teased, âWhat could be more important than prove to you that not all of Coerthas is a deadly wasteland trying to kill you? But I think we really should return soon. I donât want you to get cold again and after all we also donât want Rael to find out about this little excursion, do we?â
For a second Aâviloh wished the viera could see him now and wondered what their reaction would be like. The thought made him chuckle.
And as they floated, one last circle around the lake, Aâviloh couldnât help but wonder that maybe it was happy moments like this. The reason he was still here. Moments that made his life worth living.

Alright, not to get too caught up in the MHJ drama, but Iâm crying because I just reread my now deleted post-Golden rant complaining about BSH, SB, and my issues with their strategy and I got to this part
đđđ
No but I was right. Say what you want about MHJ, but NewJeanâs was truly HYBE's only other major success outside of BTS and it had nothing to do with BangPD and it turns out that it absolutely did piss him off LMAO. I knew it. You don't have to believe everything she says, but the elevator thing was basically confirmed and there's no normal, well adjusted adult who would ignore young girls like that if they weren't an immature, petty asshole.
Not to be messy and reopen this can of worms, but it does make me think it's even more likely that he might have been a little bitter over LC hitting #1 considering he couldn't take credit for it. He had that whole article in billboard that came out around the same time talking about how they were going to get the next #1 through their connections or infrastructure or however he put it, which was clearly referencing SB & HYBE America. I think he was trying to make it seem like this whole Scooter A&R strategy was ingenious and vital to Western success based on how hard they kept pushing and talking it up. So if MHJ was telling any amount of truth about his attitude and how he acted towards NWJN's, I just can't help but feel like he must have felt at least a LITTLE negatively about LC hitting that #1 right after he was talking such a big game about how his system (that he spent a billion dollars on) was going to be vital to that next #1.
LC was a Korean song Jimin made with a small in-house team so it must have been a little embarrassing for him to say all that to billboard (and probably investors lol) and have it be immediately invalidated. And LC so clearly demonstrated that BTS and the members could still pull off these big feats without him or his ideas and massive investment and personal involvement. And yeah, billboard did target LC right after that to try and smear it's success, but I think this argument still holds up. Especially because if LC was given any extra care or support it could have kept charting. And what billboard did in it's second week was insanely dirty.
(Iâm not saying he was MAD about it, or that he didnât talk it up to investors after, or that he sabotaged Jimin like a vengeful cartoon villain, Iâm just being petty and speculating and saying I donât think he was thrilled about it considering the circumstances)
Likewise NewJean's released music that did have a good chunk of English but was still Korean, and they managed to break a bunch of girlgroup billboard records as well, and that's ANOTHER project that BSH didn't have his hands on at all. In fact it was one he didn't believe in. Yes, ILLIT broke their record for getting their debut song on billboard quicker, however BSH followed the formula that MHJ created and apparently didn't even consult her or give her any credit while creating a group that was clearly inspired by her work (I genuinely love ILLIT and think they have their own identity! But they do follow the formula that MHJ popularized). So it's not like he got another group on billboard with his genius, it was again just following a formula someone else created (Magnetic was a bop and I loved the whole EP, so I'll give him that!).
I honestly don't even know what SB brings to the table that's so helpful because all they need for a pop song to succeed is basic charting tools like CDs and remixes and playlisting, which they could get before him, and basic decent promotions for visibility. And he's not doing anything interesting or helpful for the non-pop releases even though there's a massive market here for indie, alternative, R&B, and rap. Why wasn't CBTM on college stations? He's useless because the pop releases don't even need much to be successful. And none of JKs promotions were new or unique or something they couldn't have gotten before SB either. And if he's doing something else behind the scenes, I don't think that's worth it either.
JK did have more GP tuning in, but his solo debut was still heavily carried by ARMYs who took advantage of every provided tool, so nothing revolutionary they couldn't have accomplished pre-SB. It wouldn't have worked for anyone else like I said before either, a good example being TXT and their Jo Bros collab which flopped. BSH was all overconfident (top 10 on billboard lol) about it because he thought the secret to success was simply - western producer, western collab, english - but their fans didn't care for the song and therefore it didn't do well. So yeah, at the end of the day it's about good music and/or having a big fandom willing to carry (and that very rare charisma the BTS members have). Not whatever stupid synergy strategy BSH thought he unlocked. Honestly I wonder if he's really that stupid to think that they could get a hit with just those things, but I'm starting to think so. Genuinely what good decision has he made lately that wasn't just following trends?
Won't rehash everything again but this MHJ drama did make me look back on all this discourse even though I swore I was done with it. I'm not as bothered by all of this now, I just think it's interesting to look back on and compare some of her criticisms of HYBE & BSH to many of our own criticisms and speculation. While I take her words with a massive grain of salt, I do think there's a lot of outside evidence to back up some of her claims about the company and their issues (and I'm not her fan or excusing her actions or saying she's always truthful either).
Of course I could be totally wrong, just my thoughts. I'll go back to looking forward to Jin returning and upcoming projects because at the end of the day the BTS members are the ones responsible for their own careers and they have to be the ones to advocate for themselves and deal with their company, but the plus side of this situation is that I hope at least some K-ARMYs are approaching the company with more scrutiny and hopefully holding them accountable for certain things, although I won't hold my breath. It was hilarious seeing HYBE's quick response to their complaints about Jin's hug event though. I wish I-ARMYs would stop being such company stans (you can criticize HYBE/BH without being a manti you know) but not getting my hopes up.
I just sincerely hope that this whole SB creative strategy won't carry over into BTS music, or any more of their solo work. I wouldnât care if the quality was there, but imo itâs too inconsistent (I definitely enjoy most of Golden! Seven is a bop, SNTY is 10/10). Itâs not about creating art or good music for them, itâs about trying to design a song that they think will chart. And songs like that will almost always lack in some way. So I hope this doesnât become a pattern and the members retain their creative freedom and recognize that they definitely do not need to rely on those people for a hit (ofc unless the want to work with them).

so honestly i know that america isnt great. i dont rlly love it myself. but a lot of american stereotypes are honestly so exhausting because like they ignore the VAST cultural and racial diversity we have here. (long post warning)
i know that so many of those posts that talk about âall americans wear this or talk like this or look like this and eat this and say this and drink thisâ do Not take into account all of the mixed race americans, nonwhite americans, usually non christian americans, most of the time non straight/cis americans, and DEFINITELY not non american born americans.
and its annoying bcs every time i see one of those posts im like. yes i know some americans do that but not ALL americans do that.
and if you call someone else out on their behavior youre weak or believe the world revolves around america. which believe me, I KNOW IT DOESNT.
and this is NOT to excuse stupid american behavior and ignorance, not AT ALL. bcs that isnt ok. but assigning all americans as evil and terrible, especially if youre crediting it to stuff our government does, thats just stupid. and really not okay.
ALSO SODE RANT BUT when british people act like theyre soooo much better than americans and weâre the scum of the earth its like babe. no one likes american but i can bet you no one else likes britain either.
if british ppl get all snooty with me and are like âoh americans are so stupid and youre all terrible people because of actions your government makesâ it takes every bone in my body not to say âsays the person whose country colonized half the world (exaggerating kind of) and whose monarchy still runs off of blood money and genocide.â
anywhoozles its just really fucking annoying.
TL;DR, stereotyping all americans erases the experiences of a lot of non white americans and is frankly stupid, and if the same thinking is turned around onto british people who hate on america, theyre the scum of the earth too.
#mae-rants#oops this got long#anyways#as a mixed race queer american#it just really grates my cheese when posts about âall americansâ CLEARLY erase all of my experiences as an american

writing shorter oneshots has actually been so much fun recently. like, seriously, i love doing them. itâs great! im having fun, and being able to sit down and write something short n sweet has been super nice
#i think. with adaptive nature i started to expect a little bit too much from myself with the chapters#like. yeah. i wanted it to be good obviously#but i might have been holding myself to too high of a standard#which was why the chapters took so long to be posted#because they would be written but id find a hundred problems with it (where. there probably wasnt any) and simply delete the whole thing#i am working on reminding myself that sometimes my writing can be bad. that its fine for my writing to be bad#but im still working on that#which is why these short things are good. because they dont need to be the best things ever. they just need to be good#they just need to be something i enjoy creating#not that i didnt enjoy writing adaptive nature! just that im a perfectionist. and that started to affect me slightly#but now. looking back on it. it was good#all the things that got deleted were probably good too. i just couldnt see that#oops. sorry for the mini rant#didnt mean for it to turn into that lol#juno.talks

This also applies to acknowledging kidsâ excitement about their interests! If someone is willing to show you how much they love something, that is NOT the time to point out everything wrong with the thing or tease the kid for liking it. For years I was embarrassed to share my interests with my family bc whenever I talked about a show I liked with any enthusiasm, my dadâs first reaction was to call it stupid. Now I realize that was his masculine societally-imposed fear of showing emotion, but I was in middle school and just wanted to connect with my family!
Now as an adult, I have no patience for people who are hyper-critical of other peopleâs interests. I donât care if you think itâs the worst show in the world â if someone wants to enthusiastically tell you what they like about CWâs The Flash, you better be actively listening bc it takes a lot of vulnerability to share the things you love with other people.
And I guarantee they are not interested in hearing your no doubt lukewarm take on a show youâve never seen. There is a time and place to discuss and critique things, but that does not pertain to a friend or kid taking time and energy to share their excitement with you. You may get the rush of sharing your own opinion, but that person will never want to share anything with you again.
consider: teenagers arenât apathetic about everything theyâre just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about
#oops this one got away from me#i have some personal experience in this area#but long story short#take time to listen and make people feel included#life is so lonely#rant#me

I'm still living in Frontlines... what day are we on now? I've lost count đ« . The event began on the 27th of August... *attempts to count* đŽđ€
Last blog update I mentioned wanting to learn some more classes. I did manage to add SCH and DNC to my list of "I can play this rather well". I've keyed a few others but can I play them? Ehhh.... đ yet to try.
I told my friend this đđ», that I "keyed them" and he was like "wait what?". Had to tell him that It means 'I put the skills onto my bar', what else would it mean? lol. Maybe things that I think are 'obvious' are actually not that obvious.
So, I already play BRD, RDM, SMN, WHM, and MNK on the norm.
Wanted to learn a tank like GNB. Tried playing DRK a while back but I feel like I was plunge-happy and that just did not go well at all, lol. Think I've developed a bit of PTSD from it. Not just that, but there's high expectations with it because it's the new 'meta', oh boy đ. DRK + DRG combo, or DRK + SMN. Basically anything DRK + some class that has AoE LB = win *sigh*. Why so broken SE đ¶
I get it, I get it. To balance FL, it borks CC. Then to tone down one class here, you have to tone down others, and then they all bork, and it just becomes an endless loop. Not as easy as one would think... whelp, rip.
Also don't mark meeeee. I hate thattttt. I don't need a giant bullseye calling attention to me đŻ. If I wanted one I'd give it to myself, adkjaksdj.
But yeah, me trying to 'learn' it, while it being meta, not knowing what the heck I'm doing (i.e. being suicidal)... I just feel like that's not gonna go any better than the first time, LOL. Think I'll have better luck learning GNB atm.
I'm just the pushy- finds an opportunity- and rushes in type đ€·đ»ââïž. Seems like my team doesn't always follow suit and it gets me in trouble a lot đ
. I need to learn to gauge that better. I'm also the overprotective of my teammates type, and it's gotten me killed numerous times đ (going back to try and help/rescue a teammate or something - happens on all classes, not just on tank)
Imagine this, when learning a class: Marking a player trying to learn DRK, they're plunge-happy like myself because I dunno what the heck I'm doing but I'm trying to learn what to do and what NOT to do (as I said before, suicidal). But because I have this stupid marker over my head, people are following me around and watching me die repeatedly as I get my bearings. I'm looking like an idiot, I already have social anxiety. I'm just not going to want to play this ever again due to this horrid experience. Or, I'm going to need time to recover (which is where I'm at now).
You learn more from your failures, you still learn from your successes, but it's a learning curve. I'm only going to learn by doing. Using my skills in an actual match, with people and against other people. I can't just go swing at a training dummy and figure things out. GNB is actually a great example of this as one of their skills is reactive to DPS/Healer/Tank. A training dummy cannot replicate that. With that being said, don't effing mark me! đą. It should be an opt in, not opt out!
"Oh well, Teku, why don't you just speak up and ask them to unmark you?" Because as much as the FFXIV community prides itself as being open & friendly, when it comes to PvP it can get rather sour & salty đ and it's not that simple. People get snarky & sassy and say all sorts of ridiculous things back at you that basically end with the result of you still being marked. Or they straight up ignore you. "You don't pay my sub!" - sound familiar? I usually don't let whatever negative things that happen in a frontline get to me, because that's silly. It's just a game within a game, technically, lol. No need to be bitter. But let a person learn, chill out, it's not the end of the world, geebus.
/endrant
My friend belongs to several Linkshells and Discords for Frontlines and he consistently shows me conversations and games he's in, also premades, and it's just... mindblowing... the things that are said. Some people take this stuff so seriously. It's as if they forget that once upon a time they too were once a sprout. They too, once upon a time, started somewhere and were new, and didn't know which buttons to hit in what order. To learn to prioritize objectives over kills. Not to tunnel vision the battle over the point board because the end of the game can easily sneak up on you. Like... why are people like this? So inconsiderate and just total jerkfaces, I don't get it.
But now they have this elitist attitude and they refuse to play in Daily Roulette or Duty Finder. They'll only queue in groups with premades of meta such as DRK + DRG, etc. Like wow, that's actually sad, I'm sorry. I get it if you want to play with friends, but it seems more like they want a free pass winstreak and to be carried. To each their own I guess đ€·đ»ââïž (not saying everyone in these CWLS/LS/Discords are like this or have this mentality, just the people in these convo's I've seen)
And if you think I'm QQ'ing (term for whining & crying) because I'm the one who is bad at playing in Frontlines, I beg to differ. I have screenshots of the end of every Frontline match I've played- out of force of habit from previous FPS games (the end board thing with names and stats). I'm usually (not always) within the top five for 'Damage Dealt' when I'm on DPS or SCH, or top five in 'HP Restored' as Healer. I admit I have some bad games but they're not the majority.
Thing is, I don't nerd rage at my team if we're scattered or split (you'd be surprised at how often I see this happen tbh). Would you like some food with your salt? Nor do I flip tables if we lose a game and my win:lose, 1st:2nd:3rd, ratio takes a hit. It's a Frontlines match, things are gonna happen đ€·đ»ââïž. I'm just one person, I don't have control over 72 people. Occasionally I'll do callouts, throw a flag into chat, and use markers on enemy targets, but even then, the 24 people on my team are not all going to listen to me the entire duration of the game. Most of them aren't even reading chat or have their maps open.
And then there's cases where people other than the person making callouts, have better calls, and they confuse the entire team.
SE gimme a SERIOUS and TRUE PvP mentor crown/title and I might take it more seriously, I've already got the macros made đ. I know it's in game currently under PvE but it comes with nothing. Like actually nothing. Probably because SE considers the rewards from Wolf Marks, Wolf Collars, Trophy Crystals, Current Achievements, Series Rewards, and whatever else I missed, to be enough? I don't know. But everyone knows PvP Mentor is basically hollow, fake and for show. It's not a real thing. I guess it's more real than Crafting Mentor but ehh... different topic.
Yes, I'm aware adding a 'real' PvP mentor wont fix the aforementioned problem of people not listening, or not reading chat/looking at the map, lol. I still want to talk about it though.
Make it separate with real achievement rewards and the like. I think a lot more people would take it more seriously tbh. As in... actually try PvP in general, not afk in FL, not alt+F4 out anymore, there's another one I wont say.
Right now 'leading' i.e. 'giving suggestion' in Frontlines because we technically cannot direct gameplay in any way, shape, or form- that's against ToS *cough*... I'm just... 'when the mood strikes' with it. It's not my job so why treat it like it is? I know that's a terrible mentality but, Frontlines has me burnt out guys. First is was PLD hax with grabbing Oovoos, now this? I forget what was before that tbh, lol. I pretty much just turn on Music and focus the game when I queue up đ§đ¶
Also, Damage and Healing aren't everything. Being where you need to be, getting kills and not dying, capturing objectives, being a team player... those are all variables that need to be considered too.
Sorry sorry, I said I was done ranting. akdjsakd. It curved back into that direction đ
I used to play a lot of NIN before the major PvP rework and haven't bothered re-trying it since. I should try giving that a go again. A genuine try, not just one game đ
. I recall dreaming I was in FL as NIN using LB repeatedly. (Yes this is how bad it is, this is what its come to! The game has seeped into my dreams!)
I tried SAM once and it felt weird because I main BRD like 90% of the time and SAM has casts. I don't know how else to explain it to people but when you're used to playing a class that can walk while using their skills- free range mobility- and then shift to a class that has to stay absolutely still for nearly all of their skills, it's awkward as heck. The day I tried, I kept inadvertently moving and interrupting my casts and I was like AKSDJKAL!! đ đą
Needless to say, I didn't try SAM again. Also I don't know why I don't have this issue when I play RDM or WHM or other cast classes, it was only with SAM. Might just be a mentality/awareness issue. As if, melee = shouldn't have casts, or something? I should give it another shot. Also, I'm not suggesting SE should take away SAMs casts or anything, they're too OP as it is~, I have a love-hate relationship with SAMs when it comes to FLs đ
I've learned the RPR rotation but apparently it sucks terribly in Frontlines, yet it's great in Crystalline Conflict. Issue here is I don't play CC, I play FL so..... đ€·đ»ââïž
I know I'm leaving several classes out, like SGE, DRG and MCH, etc. There's just so many.
I only have a bit more FL farming left to do and then I'll be done, thank gods. I have way too many alts- but it's not just that. It's because it's the 10th anniversary and there's so many goodies on the Moogles this time around. There's so much I want to get đ That's not a bad thing honestly, this time frame is just way too short.
We're being given one month and one week or something? Maybe just the one month. I'm not sure, don't quote me, lol. All I know is it says Until Patch 6.5 and that is "Early October" đ€·đ»ââïž
This is probably the craziest waymarking group I have ever had, lol đ€
Oh yeah, I wanted to add some 'pointers'. Uhhh... just some things I've learned over time and recently.
On SCH; try not to/don't, Bio + Deployment Tactics combo on a DRG cause they'll likely use their LB and poof, there goes your charge. I guess Adlo + Deployment Tactics also but it happens moreso with the enemy in my case.
On WHM; avoid using/use at your own discretion- Seraph Strike on a SAM. It's like jumping into the arms of Death â ïž.
This could probably be said for other classes with a charge-in ability but I've only experienced "fly to my death" with this on WHM đ„Č. What's that phrase... "Fool me once, shame on You; Fool me twice, shame on Me".
Definitely not falling for that again... đ
On BRD; Save your silence for the squishy casters, like Healers, SMNs and BLMs. I would think this one is a given but I don't see many other BRDs do this for some reason... đ€·đ»ââïž? Your team will pick up the hint and that silenced player is gonna drop like a fly 90% of the time.
đđ» Don't do the same thing with the RDM skill Resolution. If you have White Shift on, you can try to aim it at a Healer, SMN, or BLM, but I wouldn't waste holding onto it as it's valuable DPS you're essentially losing by not using it.
I personally do a mix of both as RDM- use both White Shift & Black Shift. Basic rundown is, Black Shift is good for dealing more damage, and White Shift is good for protecting the group.
When in White Shift I aim it at squishy targets and also in crowded areas. Imo it's intuitive, as is all RDM gameplay. I'm a RDM main, what can I say đ. Example might be I see a lot of DRK + DRG so I use White Shift a lot for the barrier. Another might be I see a lot of SCH + Casters, so I run Black Shift for the extra damage. Etc, etc. Just have to figure out the in-betweens from there.
I'm not trying to write out a guide, if I was this could go on forever lol. These are just the not so obvious things I guess? I can't think of anymore atm but I'll try to add to this if they come to mind. Feel free to add to the comments if you can think of any. I don't bite đ

hellooo, your writing is amazing so far i love it đ«¶đŒ
Could you do one for Hobie x fem reader, where the reader is friends with SpiderPunk AND Hobie. But she doesnât know theyâre the same person. And one day lovergirl rants about her fat ah crush on Hobie to him??
First off, thank you for enjoining my writing, I try my best with what working brain cells I have left đ€Ł
Ooh I love this idea very much! But I might make it a two parter cuz I defiantly went off requestâŠoopsâŠ
Part 2
You were just minding your business, chilling on the roof top of an abandoned apartment complex, mind a million miles elsewhere on a certain somebody when a flash of red and blue caught your eye and before you knew it; you company of one had became a company of two.
âHeya Spidey, how are things?â You greeted.
He shrugs, âthe usual but what about you lil missis,â he playfully nudges you, âhead so far off into the clouds Iâm actually feeling a little neglected over here.â You laughed, shoving him away by his arm. âOh come off it, will you? I just been thinking about this guy Iâve liked for a while now.â You admitted and Hobieâs interest was immediately peaked.
For as long as he knew you, Hobie could barely remember the last time you had ever admitted to him in fancying someone, besides from a couple of incidences from way back that ended up backfiring; but other then that, you kinda made it a point not to talk about it, maybe in due to him thinking that whoever you did fancy at the time werenât worth the effort youâd give had you perused them. You had often called him overprotective whenever you tell him about your crush of the week but Hobie would defend himself by saying he was merely looking out for you and didnât want you getting hurt by some douchebag.
âYou donât have to defend me from everything Hobie,â you once told him as you were patching him up from beating the breaks off of your last crush because they were chatting shit about you behind your back, âwhilst as sweet as it is but you canât always be there to look out for me.â
âWatch me.â He replied, his view remaining completely unchanged. You sighed, knowing that once Hobieâs mind was made up, nothing you nor anyone else could do to change that. He was an akin to that of an immovable object when it came to his beliefs and views and it was amongst the many things you adored and admired about him most.
âOh yeah? And whoâs the lucky guy?â He asked casually leaning back on his arms, watching as you brought your knees close to your chest before resting your chin upon them as your eyes gaze out at nothing in particular; something Hobie noticed you often do when you were particularly in your feelings and needed something to hold onto and ground yourself before you became adrift in your own sea of emotions. It was cute to see you tucked in on yourself so tightly that he couldnât be more thankful for the fact that you couldnât see how dopey he mustâve looked beneath his mask.
âHobie. Hobie Brown.â
He blinked twice, nah, he mustâve heard that wrong, surely, his hearing must be going all scewiff.
âHobie Brown.â He said his own name as though it was the first time he was ever saying it. Upon seeing the way your shoulders drop and your body becoming at ease upon hearing his name, along with the way you smiled gently and how your eyes seemed to beam with newfound light which all had only helped In affirming to Hobie that he did indeed hear you the first time. âWhat is it about the guy thatâs got you all up in knots?â He asked, trying to act as though you didnât just indirectly admitted that youâve got a crush on him to him.
âWhere do I start.â You started, unable to fight against your own feelings that were swelling up within your chest when an image of Hobie appeared in the forefront of your mind, he was sat on your bed, eyes closed as he allowed himself to get lost within his guitar rifts, his calloused fingers expertly transitioned from chord to chord as it were muscle memory. âHeâs just so cool and awesome and so forthright and opinionated in his views and beliefs that heâs not afraid to back down from a fight should it come down to it.â You tell him with a sense of fondness in your voice.
Hobie was quick to notice how your hand fiddle with one of the many handmade pins heâs made you that you always paired up with any and every outfit you ever wore, even if they styles did clash but you didnât seem to care; Whatever the reason for you reaching for the pins were, whether itâd be out of a need to feel out the closest thing you had in regards to him or it was just something you did out of habit, made Hobie warm within his chest that soon spread throughout his body. âSounds like me and this Hobie guy are more alike then I originally thought.â
Your fingers stopped their fiddling and you suddenly looked at him as though you were just now realising something with the way your eyes bore into him, Hobie thought that you mightâve developed the ability to see through the mask that withheld his identity and into him, so much so that he couldnât help but make a comment on it, âstare at me any harder sweetheart and your stare might burn right through my mask.â You mustâve been deep into your thinking as you didnât seem to have noticed that he had spoken at all and Hobie was starting to think that he mightâve been too relaxed with you as Spider-Man that you might have started to have it pieced together in your mind; after all you were smart, more so then what you give yourself credit for.
âNow that youâve mentioned it you and Hobie do share some of the same attributes and habits, Iâm also pretty sure your similar height wise and even though your mask muffled your voice, it fills me with a sense of familiarity that itâs hard for me to put a finger on.â You said as you leaned closer to him until you were partially merely a breath away from each other. Hobie didnât know he was holding in a breath until you shrugged âbut I could just be grasping at a straws, so I wonât dwell on it as much.â and moved away from him back to your previous position.
As much as he wouldâve loved to have you figure out his identity on your own terms. Hobie would prefer it best if he were the one to reveal himself to you but the moments where he wanted to never felt right and he didnât want to you in danger by doing so, but he knew that thereâd come a time where he would be greeted with a choice in wether to tell you the truth as to who he was or continue living like he has currently and potentially loose your trust because of his lack of transparency; Hobie couldnât bear to think of loosing your trust but just as he has always done since becoming your friend, he was merely looking out for you and for your safety as they were always his top priorities.

Summary: You discover something about Spencer after a sleepless night, and it doesn't leave your head until you can sort it out in a hotel room.
A/N: my first time writing smut so I hope it's okay :P comments/reblogs would be super appreciated but don't feel obligated!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It started over coffee. It was a ritual, your favorite of the several you and Spencer shared. You would both come into work, way before anyone got there. Spencer would pour his coffee with its obscene amount of sugar, and you'd slot beside him to pour yours with its obscene amount of creamer. You'd talk, or Spencer would, normally about whatever obscure theory he was fixating on.
Today though, you made a beeline for your desk after filling your cup. It had been a sleepless night, filled with nightmares of the horrors you saw on the regular in this field, and you had a mountain of paperwork to catch up on.
You'd hoped Spencer would leave it, and he would've with anyone else, but he always was too comfortable around you. As you stood, so did he, and as you moved to refill your cup, he grabbed your hand.
"Spencer," you said, trying to keep your voice gentle despite your irritation.
He looked pointedly at your oversized cup. "Caffeine overconsumption can worsen anxiety and insomnia," he started, in that tone that indicated a rant, "as well as inhibiting focus, which you need for this job- well, you need sleep too, but that ship has sailed, from the looks of it-"
"Spencer," you practically growled, "shut up and let me pour the damn coffee."
You hadn't meant to sound quite so mad, and an apology was about to leave your mouth before you noticed the blush painting Spencer's face.
Blush?
It was undeniable. There was splotchy color covering his cheeks and the tip of his ears in a way you'd only seen whenever Morgan teased him about his sex life. He'd hunched in on himself, this 6'1 man somehow making himself small in front of you. He wouldn't look you in the eye, which wasn't new, but it felt different this time, and it didn't take long to figure out why. His pupils were blown wide, overtaking his irises.
And you were gaping at him like an idiot. Your jaw snapped shut as Spencer nodded before speed-walking to his desk, as if he was hoping you wouldn't notice.
Of course you noticed. You noticed everything about Spencer, from the way he twisted his hands to his perpetually mismatched socks. You noticed so many miniscule habits that even Spencer himself probably didn't that you could've started a notebook with them; not that you needed to, since they immediately stored themselves in the front of your mind. Obviously, you noticed the glances when he thought you weren't looking, the way he sat next to you on every flight, and the million other things that he would never do for anyone else.
It was something unspoken between you, a closeness you couldn't or wouldn't act on. It was fragile, sugar-spun glass painted with the shades of brown in his puppy-dog eyes. You were so afraid to break it by acting too soon, too fast. You knew you were harsh, too much. But you also knew it would have to come to a head eventually.
God, you needed more coffee.
-
You had a case that day. Of course you had a case that day.
You're a professional, you reminded yourself as JJ briefed the team.
Fraternization was frowned upon, you thought as Spencer's hand sat dangerously close to yours on the flight.
Bad idea, you reasoned when Spencer looked up at you through his eyelashes as you connected evidence.
Terrible idea, really, you grasped at when Spencer didn't stop looking at you after that.
It was torture, going through the motions of an entire case with the image of a flustered Spencer playing on loop every time he spoke. You were out of it, distracted, and not because of that second cup of coffee.
It boiled over when you asked an officer to repeat himself for the third time. Hotch had asked you to follow him in that "I'm extremely disappointed" tone that he'd perfected.
He led you into an empty room, near-slamming the door shut.
"What is going on with you?" Hotch starts, before taking a breath and cutting himself off.
"Listen, whatever is happening between you two, I need you to sort it out as soon as possible," he says. You open your mouth to protest, but nothing comes out. "We're all profilers," he points out with a raised eyebrow. He sighs.
"We're staying at a hotel tonight. Sleep it off or... do whatever you need to." He leaves you alone in the room. You compose yourself before facing the rest of your team.
"Sort it out."
Fuck it.
-
It took hours to work up the courage. Hours of pacing around your room combing over every possibility in your head. Every rule that was being broken. But, Hotch had told you to do what you needed to. And that image of Spencer wouldn't leave your mind.
It must have been around 2 AM when you finally ended up knocking on his door. You expected he would be up, but it still surprised you how quickly the door swung open. He hadn't even changed into pajamas, and you realized that in your haze of worry, neither had you.
"We need to talk," you said, firm. Spencer gulped and moved aside to let you in. You stood near the edge of his bed, one hand on your hip. Spencer sat on the bed, gazing up at you with a look that would've been innocent to anyone else.
"This morning," you start with a sigh, "I didn't mean to be that rude." Spencer looks like he wants to say something, but he's holding his tongue. "But, from the looks of it," you continue, "you didn't mind."
Spencer's mouth opens. Closes. Opens again. Nothing comes out but a hitch of his breath. He's avoiding your eyes, staring past you to look at the blank wall. You can't have that.
You snap in front of his face, soft but stern, like you're trying to get a dog's attention. His eyes snap to you, pupils blown wide. âLook at me when I'm talking to you,â you say, in a gentle version of the tone you had used that morning.
He whimpers.
He fucking whimpers, maintaining eye contact like you'd asked him to.
You bite your lip slightly, rolling it between your teeth before letting it go. Spencer's face flushes that beautiful red as his hands fly to his crotch, trying in vain to cover a growing erection. You let out a laugh.
âNeedy already? From me just talking to you? How pathetic, Spence.â Your voice is low and rough as you gently grab his wrists to move his hands. âDon't. I want to see you.â
The show of control has Spencer whimpering again, starting up at you pathetically as he gets impossibly redder. He's so far gone already, and it's filling your head with things you want to do to him, but you have to make sure he's truly okay with it first.
âSpencer,â you say as you let go of his wrists, earning you a whine, âcan you come back to me for a second?â He just whines again, a far-off look on his face, so you let his breathing level out before you tilt his head towards you and pat his face until he looks at you again.
âSpencer,â you say again, still holding his face, âI need to know you want this.â He nods, almost frantic, but you tut at him. âWords,â you scold.
âI do, yes, I need it, please, anything-â Spencer babbles, before you lean down to cut him off with a bruising kiss. He whines immediately, letting you add tongue. You bite at his lower lip, making him moan.
Spencer pulls away to beg. âPlease,â he says, âplease, I need-â He cuts himself off with a whine, frustration evident.
âAw, my stupid baby,â you coo, straightening up again. âWhat is it? Can't you talk, or are you that gone already?â
Spencer whimpers, flushing more at your degradation. âI wanna- I wanna taste you. Please.â
It takes you a second to process that. Spencer Reid, notorious germaphobe, wanted to eat you out. You paused so long that Spencer started to look worried. You unsuccessfully tried to form words a few times and then-
âKnees. Now.â
Your voice sounded commanding, even to you, so it was no surprise that Spencer scrambled to kneel. You stripped slowly, carefully, watching him to make sure he was staying still.
When you were naked, you took Spencer's place on the bed, spreading your legs. He slotted between your thighs, leaning his head on one and mouthing at it. You brought your hands up to his hair, petting it.
âGood boy,â you croon, âso patient for me.â Spencer is purely blissed out below you, all kiss-swollen lips and flushed cheeks. He looks like he'd be content to stay leaning on your thigh forever, just mouthing and biting, but you're impatient.
You grab his hair, gently pulling him to where you want him. He looks up at you, as if asking for permission. âGo ahead,â you grant. He nods and licks a stripe between your folds before circling his tongue around your clit. Your breathing quickens as your hand tightens in his hair and you let out a low moan.
Spencer whines around your clit, circling one of his lithe fingers around your hole before pushing it in, searching for the bundle of muscles that would make you shake. He finds it when you clench around him, and he adds another finger to keep curling into it as he sucks on your clit in earnest.
You're whimpering praises, âgood boyâs and âso goodâs, as Spencer keeps whining against you and sending shocks of pleasure through your body.
He switches the place of his fingers and tongue, using his thumb to circle your clit while his tongue fucks into you.
Your hand tightens in his hair, a borderline pull, and the feeling of Spencer whining in you sends you over the edge with a curse. He laps at you until you're squirming under him, so you use your hold in his hair to pull him back.
He looks heavenly, your slick and cum coating his mouth and chin as he pants. He smiles up at you dumbly.
âFuck,â you moan. A pang of guilt hits you as you realize you've been ignoring Spencer's (probably painful by now) erection. You're opening your mouth to offer something when you notice the wet spot on the crotch of his pants. He avoids your gaze when he realizes you've figured it out.
âSpence,â you start, âdid you-â He cuts you off with an apology. âI'm sorry, I- You justâŠâ he trails off. You gape at him for a second, shaking your head.
âDon't apologize,â you say sternly. You pat the spot on the bed next to you, sending Spencer scrambling to get up, still blushing furiously.
You grab his hand once he's sat, trying to be gentle. âDo you want to stop?â you question. âNo!â Spencer almost yells as soon as the words leave your mouth. âNo,â he says again, quieter but just as desperate.
âWhat do you want?â you question. You like controlling him, you really do, but you also want to spoil him after he made you feel so good.
âWanna be inside you,â he mumbles, staring at you with those big, doe eyes. You pause for a second- God, he needs to stop saying things that make you pause- before you crash your lips into his, frantically stripping him out of his clothes.
You get him down to his boxers before pulling him into your lap, licking into his mouth for what feels like an eternity. You can taste yourself on his tongue, and it's fucking divine. Unfortunately, you do have a need to breathe.
You pull away, touching your forehead to his as you pant. You break the trail of spit between your lips as you move to his neck to bite and suck a hickey too high up to be covered by his collar.
Spencer squirms and whines underneath you as he hardens again. You grind against him in circles, puffing against the mark you'd left. Finally feeling the outline of his dick reminds you of one glaring, unfortunate fact.
âI don't have protection,â you say, moving back from his neck. Spencer bites his lip, fidgeting with the back of your shirt. âI do,â he practically whispers. You nod to give him permission to go grab it, scooting over to give Spencer space to lay down like you want him to.
âSpence,â you say, grabbing his attention from his place at his go-bag. âYou want a safeword?â you question when you have his attention. He hums. âColor system work?â you follow up. He hums again, turning around with a condom and a small lube bottle.
You bite your lips at the implication of getting to feel him inside you. âCome lay down,â you invite, patting the space beside you. He comes willingly, settling rigidly as he sets the items on the nightstand.
You move to sit on his thigh, rubbing his chest to soothe him. âI'm gonna ride you. Is that okay, sweet boy?â you ask. He nods, frantic, flushing down to his chest.
You grab his face. âWe've been over this, Spencer. Words.â you reprimand. âYes, please, please.â Spencer slurs, breathing heavily just from you teasing him.
You move your hand to his hair, stroking gently. âGood boy,â you encourage, your other hand toying with his boxers. You look at your hand, then up at him. âPlease,â he whines. You lift yourself off his thigh, tapping his legs so he raises them and taking his boxers off.
His cock springs free, red and leaking and coated with his earlier orgasm. He's-
âSo pretty,â you whisper, reverent. Spencer's dick twitches at the praise, making you bite your lip. It matches the rest of him, tall and built but also lean. The thought of taking it has you unconsciously grinding against his thigh.
You don't realize you're staring until Spencer whines and puts his hands on your hips to get your attention. âSorry, baby,â you apologize. You take his hands off your hips and hold them at the headboard with one hand while grabbing the condom of the nightstand with the other. He goes impossibly redder with the restraint, dick twitching again.
You hold the condom up to his mouth. âCan you hold this for me, Spence?â you prompt. He understands immediately, taking it in his teeth as you rip it open. You take the trash out of his mouth and flick it aside before rolling the condom on in a fluid motion that has Spencer bucking into your hand. You hold his hips down once your hand is free, a scolding expression on your face.
âSorry,â Spencer mumbles. Your face softens. âIt's okay, sweet boy,â you croon, âjust be good for me for a bit more.â He nods frantically, an almost pout on his face.
You let go of his hip and his hands to grab and pop open the bottle of lube. Spencer whines from the lack of contact. âShh,â you soothe as you squeeze lube on your hands, throwing the bottle somewhere in the mess of clothes on the floor before stroking it up and down his cock. He shakes with the effort to not buck into your hand this time.
âGood boy,â you praise as you lift your hips up and brace your hands on his stomach. He whines in anticipation.
Slowly, carefully, you sink yourself down inch by inch. Spencer's a mess beneath you, whimpering and shaking with the effort to not thrust up into you. It's a view that you would cross oceans to see, and he's giving it to you willingly.
âGood job, baby, so patient,â you pant as you bottom out and begin to rock your hips to get used to the full feeling. You squeeze your thighs around Spencer's hips, keeping one hand on his stomach and moving the other to pin his hands again.
He whines, impossibly loud, to the point the team can probably hear him since you're all in the same hallway, but you're way too focused on the stretch of Spencer's cock to care.
You take a shaking breath before you begin to move in earnest, going almost all the way up before slamming back down with a moan before setting a normal pace.
Tears prick at the corners of Spencer's eyes before rolling down his flushed cheeks as you move faster and faster, chasing the high coiling in the pit of your stomach, and then-
Spencer gives a long, drawn out whine and you feel the condom fill.
You stop moving, snapping your eyes open to glare at him. He's gone, completely, so you snap in front of his face again to get his attention.
âSpencer, did I say you could do that?â you scold. His eyes snap open, tears still streaming as he shakes his head frantically. âI'm sorry, I'll be good, I swear-â
âNo,â you snap, cutting him off as you start rocking your hips again, âthat was bad. And you know what bad boys get? Punished.â Spencer starts sobbing in earnest under you, hiccuping around the words he's trying to form. âI can't,â he cries, âI can't, too much, please-â
âShh,â you soothe as you rock back and forth and feel him hardening inside you, âyou know your safeword. You can be good for me, can't you?â
Spencer nods and whines and sobs frantically as you start moving again. With his spent dick twitching inside you and the sight of a man with an IQ of 187 hiccuping beneath you, it doesn't take long for you to cum again. The way you clench around Spencer sends him over the edge too, whining still.
You give Spencer a few minutes, let the tears stop and the fog in his eyes clear before you stand up off of him and tie off the condom. When you go to throw it away, he grabs your wrist. âDon't go,â he slurs sleepily, barely a whisper. âI'm just cleaning us up,â you assure him.
You toss the condom and grab a washcloth from the bathroom, cleaning the slick from Spencer's chin and your thighs as well as the dried cum off of his dick. He's too spent to have much of a reaction to anything, so you have to tap him to get his attention before tossing some of his boxers at him.
âYou mind if I borrow something?â you ask as Spencer covers himself up. He nods, too tired for words, and you steal boxers and a sweater before crawling back into bed with him.
You're nearly asleep when he nudges you. âWhat is it?â you mumble. âLove you.â Spencer says, like it's the most sure he's ever been of anything. You open your eyes and stroke his face, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear. âLove you too.â you whisper, and it's the most sure you've ever been too.
Spencer spoons into your chest as you drift off, and despite it being so late, you wake up the most rested you've ever been.

Andrew Minyard micâd up if aftg took place today and the Foxes did social media promo
Andrew absolutely refuses to be micâd up for a long time
When he finally agrees to do it itâs during a game against the Jackals
Everyone is sure itâll be a bust and they wonât get much of Andrew actually talking
But to everyoneâs surprise, Andrew turns his inner monologue outwards and doesnât shut up
He commentates the game from his perspective
âAnd thereâs the son of Exy Kevin Day running the ball up- and oh yeah no heâs down for the countâ *huffs a laugh through his nose*
âThe other fuckers have the ball now, if my brother dearest letâs them get it to my goal Iâll kill himâ
And when the opposing teams striker trips Aaron up and gets past to Andrews goal he shuts them out of course
âHeâs dead. Find a new backliner coachâ
When he gets bored of the game and the backliners are keeping the ball away from his goal he starts to sing
He does a full rendition of âLife is a Highwayâ because Neil and him watched Cars on the bus ride to the game
And he gets into it
He makes the guitar noises with his mouth and everything
He even sings it in the best low, country voice he can do
He interrupts himself in the middle of the song suddenly, feeling the need to give his full synopsis and review of Cars
âIf I was the stupid fucking car and I fell out of my sentient truck/trailers ass I would keep driving in the same fucking direction. Simpleâ
âJosten would do the same thing as Lightning McQueen. He would fuck up an entire town, heâs already done it once actually, when he came here.â
âStupid junkie, I hate himâ he adds but thereâs a fondness in his voice
âHow do the cars reproduce? Are there humans in this universe that build cars and then make them sentient? Do the cars bang?â
Halfway through his rant one of the strikers gets past Matt and Aaron and he doesnât even stop talking when he smacks the ball halfway across the court
When the other teams strikers start breaking through the backliners more frequently Andrew doesnât even seem to care
He just swats every attempted goal away, squawking a quite âmineâ like the seagulls from Finding Nemo after hitting each one
Mine *smacks* mine *swats* mine *swish*
He keeps his goal almost completely shut down the entire game, spare a few times when the other team can get the ball past him because heâs not paying attention
âI wonder what coach is buying us for dinner after this. I hope it's good since weâreâ *his goal lights up red* âOops, anyhow it better be good, Iâm working my ass off out here,â
âWhat if we all started moving in slow motion. Josten and Day would look stupid running up the court like that,â *a ball flies past his helmet* âIf we were in slowmo I wouldâve stopped thatâ
He plays the entire game (Renee's out with an injury) and he shuffles through doing all this the entire game
He sings verses of whatever song pops into his head
He reviews the movies heâs watched recently
He commentates the game in his dry manner, listing off every stat he knows about the other team and then explains why they still suck
He makes fun of his Foxes and the other team
He talks about his random hypotheticals
All while keeping the goal almost perfectly defended against the other teams strikers
When the game ends and the Foxes are loaded back up on the bus they listen back to the recording of Andrews mic
And theyâre shocked that he doesnât stop talking once the entire game
They listen to his entire recording on the ride back to campus
All of the Foxes are laughing the entire time
Even Neil is smiling (even though heâs used to this version of Andrew that is weird and likes to ramble)
When they post his micâd up highlights to their social media it goes viral
Itâs their most viewed and liked micâd up video
Their fans are begging for more of Andrew micâd up but he refuses to do it again
He got the enjoyment out of doing it once and doesnât feel a need to do it again
The foxes do start to pay a little more attention to what Andrewâs saying while in goal (and all the time)
Aaron Micâd up
#andrew is weird he just doesnât show it to many people often#the rest of the foxes absolutely adore and love seeing this side of him#andrew minyard#aftg#all for the game#aaron minyard#neil josten#kevin day#the foxes#micâd up foxes

number neighbour au with gojo where you're ranting to him about your actual neighbour.
the neighbour's always having friends over which means it gets ridiculously loud. the walls are thin, you're always working your way around to make sure any loudness from your side doesn't last long. you expected the same silent respect but clearly they didn't seem to care.
you're always cursing them out in gojo's chat, wishing that only their electricity cuts off and never returns. you even said that you'd take a stick and shove it up your neighbour's ass. gojo's always understanding towards you. he sympathises with you. if he had a neighbour like that he'd go insane.
somewhere down the line he got suspicious. you sent a chain of messages that came with details of your neighbour's look. apparently you reached your limit and politely asked your neighbour to keep it down. you gave him a half-assed smile and laced your voice with slight attitude.
what did you receive in return? a shrug followed with âoops, my bad.â
the description of your neighbour felt oddly close to what gojo himself looked like.
âtall bitch.â he's tall...
âlanky ass son of a bitch.â not lanky, but he can be a son of a bitch!
âwhite haired old piece of shit.â white haired..?
âhope apartment 207 gets raided by roaches.â apartment 207?!
yeah, that sealed the deal for him. as soon as he finished replying to you, he threw his phone in shock. what were the chances of the unnecessarily hot yet bitchy neighbour of his being his number neighbour!?!?
the same woman he interacted with and shrugged her off due to being hungover was the same one he texted every day?!
throughout the day, he was dazed. on one side, he can put a face to his number neighbour. on the other, you fucking despise himâwell, not the number version of him. now he has to undo the impression you have of him and get into your good shoes.

WordCount: OOPS I FORGOT LMFAOOO
Summary: After Connie proposed to you with a fat rock you and him moved out of ur apartment and into a huge house. Youâve finally finished settling in and decided to celebrate. Afterall in between moving and working you both been too tired to give attention to the other. Connie misses his baby too much and you do tooâŠâŠ..
You slipped off your comfy work shoes and slid the tight rubber band keeping your locs in a bun. âHi baby! Mommy missed you sooo muchâ you say as your dog immediately runs up to you making you stumble a little. You crouched and gave him a couple pets before walking to the living room. âConnieeee im so tiredâ you slid next to him on the couch putting your legs over his. He spread his legs to get more comfy and started rubbed your thigh with his tattooed hand. For a moment he just stared at you thinking about how lucky he was. But fuck so were you. âHi pretty girl how was work today?â
Can we stay home tonight ?
You ranted on about the new hire messing up your schedule so you had to redo it. You had to perform an emergency surgery on a sick cat someone brought in. Blah blah blah, âyeah mhmâ he looks at you halfway zoned out the conversation. He lazily started rubbing your feet and you let out a much needed sigh. âYou know I was thinkingâŠlets celebrate since we are both off tomorrowâ. You said trailing off and straddling him. Like it was a reflex his hands immediately found your hips and playfully slapped your ass. He let out a groan and bit his lip, â âM missed you so much mamaâ he says placing sucking hickies where his mouth could reach. You leaned into his touch slowly grinding down on his hardening dick. âMissed you more nie,â you say moaning into his mouth as you held a passionate kiss.
You, me and Hennessy look what you did to me
âFuck, lemme use this pretty ass mouthâ he groaned palming himself through his sweats. You helped eachother undress sliding down onto your knees infront of him. It was so big n pretty, everytime your face to face with it your still shocked. You kissed up n down all thick 8 inches of him. Givin little kitten licks before finally making your way up to the tip. âQuit being a fuckin tease.â He whined , his hips slightly pushing forward to get closer to your mouth. âYour such a babyâ you whisper making eye contact as you put you the tip in your mouth circling it with your tongue as you slowly went further down.
My head keep on spinnin
You look into his blown out pupils as you slurrrrrp. He grabs a fist full of your locs just so he can see your pretty expression. âMy pretty fuckin eatâoooohhhâ he let out a moan. He loved watching you give him head. You were so pretty with ur lips wrapped around your dick. One of your eyes closed bc itâs stretching your thing throat out so good. One of your hands stroking whatever length you could not swallow. âFf-me ouu shit like that my sweet girlâ its so sloppy bubbly spit spilling our your mouth and down to his balls. You brought your free hand up and played with them. Switching I between suckin his dick and sucking his balls. You felt him began to twitch and his grip got tighter than before. âCan you give me ur cumâ you begged as you sucked and stroked faster than before. âY-yea you can have any-any fucking thingâ he grabs the sides of your heads as you came in ur warm mouth. Thick splats of cum filling your mouth as your tongue still moves around the tip.
You kiss on my thighs and then you eat it
He grabbed your chin and kissed you sweetly. Tasting the sweet candy you had earlier and his cum too. A long string of spit strung out as your hot kiss separated. âYou did so good, always makin me feel good.â You were drunk off eachother. You crawled up onto his lap just for him to pick you up and it felt like you were teleported to your bedroom. He laid your back facing the bed and he traced his tongue all the way down to your sticky folds. Your clit already throbbing. Your precious finance circled your hole with his fingers. âPlease stop teasing me Nieâ. You felt your face - no entire body heating up. He smiles up at you as he inserted his two fingers watching your face contort. Your hips immediately start to push yourself and ride his fingers. His tongue lapping you up so sloppily. âBab-mm shitâ you whined. âUse your words mamaâŠ..â he lifted one of ur legs to ur chest and pistoned his fingers inside of you. He scissored the inside of your cunt to stretch your walls. âPlease Conrad, need moreâ you begged not really sure what you needed but he knew! He curved his fingers slightly upward and he tongue drew the letters of his name onto your clit.
You shifting inside, you got me screaming
âOUUU SHITTT connieâ you screamed as spurts of you cream spilled out onto his fingers and face. âMmmfh u taste so fân good. So sweetâŠâ connie stood up and slapped his heavy dick on your pussy. He lifted both of your legs up on his shoulders kissing one of your ankles that was decorated with an anklet and his initials C.S dangling from the chain. Hes kissing your ankle so delicately as your pussy wraps around his length very snuggly. âFeels like imma cum already, i need youâ. Nie leans forward and kisses all over your face, the new angle makin him.reach impossibly deeper. âMised my fiancĂ©es dick honey. Missed you missed usâ you whimpered and moaned as he put a pillow under your hips.
No Trojan on tonight
How can he be so gentle but so rough? His length giving the longest stokes onto your g-spot. âNgh i-Ohmy Godâ squelch. Pussy is so fuckin good he canât talk. Smack smack smack was all you heard as his balls slammed onto your ass. I lovee y-oussss muchâ he reaches and hand over and played with your nipples. Sucking and toying with them. âWa-waif Nieâ your feet pushing into the bed as you try to squirm away. âNuh-uh this is your dick , donât run just take itâconnie cooed into your ear. There was a ring of fluids wrapped around his sorry i mean- your cock. You wrapped your arms around his neck wanting him to get impossibly closer.
Hold up, I'm 'bout to cum, no, false alarm
Thats when he pressed down onto your lower half. âWh-whYa are you f-fuckâing me like thisâ you moaned and tears began rolling down your face. You felt like you could feel your inside be mixed and destroyed. You started to flutter around him. âMâ so close baby pleaseâ you whispered. Your arms fell from his neck to his back as your nails began to dig into your fiancĂ©s skin. He let out a strained groan as you scratched his toned and tattooed back. âI need you mama , fuck can we get married.â Hes so whipped, proposing to you again like this? You moaned as your body started to twitch against his. You started fucking him back. âYes connie yes yes yesâ you eagerly nodded âim gonna cum.â You whimpered. âCum with me pretty, i love you so badâ he let out a strained moan dipping his head in the crool of your neck.
Then look at you like it's finna be you
Your clit rubbed against the base of his cock and you lost it. You cried out for your Fiance as your body contracted ,creaming. His cum throwing thick sputs deep into you. Hes biting and nibbling into your shoulder, âsoso good so perfect y/nâ. Your named rolled off his tongue so easily . Hes still pushing his cum inside of you. Slow lazy strokes. âLove you so much connieâ. He flips the both of you over and covers your naked bodies with your thick covers. Hes still in you plugging you up. Heâs sound asleep , looks so peaceful and handsome. Heâs your big baby , finally gonna be Mrs. Springer in a month and you couldnt be more happy. Your head finds its way to his beating chest this was home, heâs your home.
I say my head keep on spinning
Me, Hennessy and you
