WHY YOU'RE A BAD BITCH.

pick a pile you feel drawn to. if you do not feel drawn to any, maybe this pac is not for you. trust your FIRST gut instinct. do not overthink it.

--

i didn't expect to make this pick a pile but i had a feeling that some people have been down in the dumps recently (as have i) and this would help the both of us.

-1. you're the epitome of elegance. you may not realize it, because you believe yourself to be a rather crude and perhaps blunt individual, but you do have a graceful femininity around you (whether you're male or female). think of the beauty of swans. your tongue is sharp and your wit is bright, and that fire emanates from your very looks. you're absolutely gorgeous--angular faced, maybe with almond eyes. you carry the steadfast power that horses do, galloping in fields. you're wild and free, and oftentimes people, specifically men, try to tame you. but you're a free person, and you don't take shit from NO-BO-DY. you can be read as intimidating and maybe cold, but the truth is you don't tolerate disrespect. you are strong. you get whatever you want, baby, all for good reason. <3

-2. your presence is SOOOO sooo felt. you underestimate how much people love you. the truth is there's a certain quality for you that just makes people adore you. you have a very unique personality and a very unique look to you (dyed hair, piercings, noticeable features, et cetera) and you flaunt this without feeling any shame about it. your confidence attracts people to you--you may not always feel confident but you're able to show it, and you BECOME it. you thrive with the right people, and this is seen as addicting. people want to be close to you and they can become obsessed with you (which can be a double edged sword). you shine so much, and your smile is to die for. TO DIE FOR.

-3. you have a melancholy heart and you're so sensitive to the suffering of everyone else. people want to take care of you and protect you. i think you're rather insecure about several aspects of yourself because people have recognized your glow, but not many have made it brighter. the qualities you have that would normally be fawned over are cast away. but you're a bad bitch regardless babe! your power is in your quietness. you give energy to people who deserve it. your presence is a mystery and you're like pandora's box. once somebody actually wants to get to know you, you open up and you have this beautiful way of being vulnerable, it makes people feel honored and trusted. you'll meet a lot of people later in life who want to be your knights, protect you. your softness makes you a bad bitch!! don't let anyone step over you.

-4. you have DISCIPLINE, darling pile 4. you want something? you work for it! you want to earn more cash? you work for it. you want to get healthier? you WORK for it! not only that, but you have a very beautiful figure--maybe on the thicker, curvier side. you probably have long hair, maybe curly, and GOD you're gorgeous. both of these qualities make you sooo irresistible. you're, by nature, a very caring person and people feel like they can open up to you. you don't make anybody feel ashamed about their emotions and you do care. this quality isn't normalized a lot in our society--you probably don't like being online very much, and you're a very real person. you have depth.

-5. you're very coy and you have this enticing, film-like quality to you. people feel like they're starring in some movie when they're with you. you accessorize a lot. you also have a tendency to fawn over people--you center them in a way that might be detrimental to yourself if you overdo it, but when you don't--you make people like you a lot. you probably have gorgeous, darker features. you remind me of a black cat, and you probably attract a lot of golden retriever like people into your life. you mighta went through something in your youth, but you're glowing and you don't let that drag you down. you're WORTHY. you're amazing. don't forget it babe.

-6. you've got a bit of a mischievous flair to you. you're a very funny person and you're QUICKKK to snap back with comebacks if need be. you don't dim your glow for anybody and you take pride in your roots. you may have a deep connection with your ancestors or members of your family, and there may be some generational trauma to unpack but that doesn't mean you can't find strength in your blood. you may have black hair and prominent nose--not necessarily big, but it's one of your prettiest and most noticed features. you have a warm presence that people suck up to. you're friendly and this quality makes people flutter over to you. your vibe is IMMACULATE.

A leader of a major faction in the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has warned that if Israel begins a war that involves the energy sector, the world will lose 12 million barrels per day, “and this is what we will make sure of.”

Abu Ali al-Askari, the head of the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades Security Bureau, stated: “This is what we will be taking care of, but only God knows what our brethren in Yemen will do in Bab al-Mandab and our brethren in Iran will do in the Strait of Hormuz.”

Israeli leaders have threatened to launch a massive attack against Iran, including against nuclear power and oil infrastructure.

Askari warned further that the resistance’s response “will not be limited to Israel, but will extend to Washington’s bases and interests in Iraq and the region.”

[...]

The Strait of Hormuz is a vital oil transit chokepoint situated between Iran and Oman. Oil tankers carry approximately 17 million barrels of oil each day through the Strait, or 20 percent of the world's total consumption.

Some analysts believe that oil prices, currently around $80 per barrel, could reach more than $300 per barrel in the case of a full blockade of the Gulf of Hormuz.

[...]

Al-Askari's statement also comes after right-wing Israeli Channel 14 aired a segment on Tuesday featuring Ayatollah al-Sistani's image on a list of potential assassination targets.

The image appeared alongside other regional figures, including Yemeni leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Hezbollah's deputy leader Naim Qassem, Hamas political chief Yahya Sinwar, Iranian Quds Force commander Ismail Qaani, and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

[syafizi77]

Aku ni dah kahwin dan dah ada anak satu. Masa aku join kerja tu, aku di kenalkan dengan seorang secretary. Leleh kalau tengok dia.

Sekali tengok, orang selalu kata dia ni lesbian. Pakaian dia simple tapi anggun. Selalunya dia pakai baju kurung atau dress pants. hanya kadang-kadang sahaja dia pakai skirt pendek.

Kadang-kadang dia all out pakai body hugging dress yanng sexy gile. uh budak bujang office aku kata lepas tengok dia macam tu, sure boleh buat modal lancap malam tu.

Ramai budak lelaki office aku kata dia ni nampak innocent je, based on cara dia berpakaian. Cakap dia lembut. Cun gile. Badan slim. Muka tersangatla bersih. Kebanyakan body features dia yang best tu aku yang sponsor.

Tinggi lebih kurang 160 cm. cukup la tu, aku ni tak reti mahu describe rupa paras dia cam ne, tapi kalau korang tengok dia, gerenti lutut lemah, teringat sampai bila bila.

Nama dia Jeny. dia pun dah kahwin tapi belum ada anak lagi. mula mula kenal tu biasa la. Pas tu kami mula rapat. Pegi lunch pegi mana mana sama sama.

Yang bestnya family dia dengan family aku pun kenal each other. So, bini aku dan laki dia tak la syak sangat pasal our affair. Semakin lama hubungan kami orang makin ngam.

Mula cerita pasal sex. dia cerita pengalaman dia dengan laki dia. Semua dia cerita. Kat mana laki dia pancut semua aku tahu sebab they all family planning. Laki dia suka pancut mani kat celah payudara dia dan muka dia.

Lagii satu tempat pancut mani yangg favorite ialah kat alur cipap dia, lepas tu dia suka tengok mani dia meleleh kat alur cipap tu. Sampai bab bab laki dia bantai dubur dia pun dia cerita kat aku in detail.

Dia jugak ada cerita yanng dia tak selalu main dengan laki dia sebab laki dia kerja ikut shift. Kalau laki tak de, dia main gentel cipap dia je. itu pun dia cerita in detail macam mana dia buat.

Dia kata, sebulan may be 3 atau 4 kali sahaja dia main dengan laki dia. under use cipap Jeny tu dia suka main dengan laki dia bila mabuk. dia kata best.

Selalunya, Jeny dengan laki dia akan tengok blue film dulu sebelum adengan sex dia mula. Laki dia kata kena warm up dulu. Laki dia tu kena tengok blue dan kena urut batang dia dulu baru mahu bangun.

Kalau tak, tak naik. manual gear la kata kan. Setim tu biasa la bila dengar dia cerita. kadang-kadang aku nampak dia jeling kat celah kangkang aku, especially tempat yanng terbonjol tu. aku tak suspect apa apa masa dia pandang tu.

Biasalah jeling-jeling kat tempat private tu. aku pun selalu jeling kat arah cipap dan payudara dia. anyway, aku pun cerita juge pasal aku main dengan bini aku. Tapi aku dengan Jeny tak buat apa apa pun aksi sex masa tu. takat cerita sahaja lama lama, kami orang start hugging, kissing on the cheek je.

Pas tu, kiss on the lip. No french kiss. aku bukannya tak mahu main dengan dia, tapi take things slowly. walaupun aku geram teramat sangat kat dia. bayangkan la, cipap dia kadang-kadang betul betul depan mata aku bila dia mengadap aku.

Lagipun, aku kat rumah dapat sex yanng secukupnya dari bini aku. Setiap hari aku main dengan bini aku. at least 2 kali sehari. Kalau dia lampu merah, period la tu. dia akan deep throat atau blow job aku. paling kurang pun lancap aku dengan tangan.

Kadang-kadang sampai 3 kali. Jadi, bab sex ni memangg aku tak kebulur sangat la. ‘makan luar’ tu pun selalu juge dapat, especially bila pegi outstation. Berbalik pada cerita Jeny tu, ada satu hari, Jeny datang kat bilik aku.

Biasa la borak borak gurau senda dan main komputer masa lunch. By the way, bilik aku ni tersorok sikit. Jadi line clear la. tiba tiba, the ‘one million dollar question’ keluar dari mulut Jeny, ‘boleh I tengok you punya anu? ‘ sambiil menjeling kat celah kangkang aku.

Aku bagai mahu gila. erkedu kejap. Badan start menggigil. aku tanya dia balik mahu tengok? dia cepat cepat jawap, ‘ya, I mahu tengok batang butuh you’ batang butuh aku pun dah start menegak.

Tak terfikir aku dia minta benda tu. aku yanng panic ni, macam dah kena pukau terus saje bukak zip seluar aku, selak spender dan keluarkan batang butuh aku. maka terkeluarla batang butuh aku yanng dah keras tu.

Aku rasa dia ni memangg dah lama target batang butuh aku hanye tunggu masa yanng sesuai sahaja mahu luahkan perasaan dia. Once batang butuh aku keluar je, dia terus pegang dan urut-urut batang butuh aku dengan geram.

Aku pun mula la high. Tapi tak dapat concentrate sangat sebab kena make sure line clear. Nanti kalau boss masuk, mampus. dia main dengan batang butuh aku puas puas.

Dia selalunya guna air liur dia untk melicinkan pergerakan mengurut batang butuh aku tu. Tak lama lepas tu aku pun pancut sperma aku. Habis kena lantai dan tangan dia penuh dengan sperma aku.

Pas tu dia ambil tisu dan bersih kan apa apa yanng patut. Jilat sikit sperma aku yanng meleleh kat jari jari dia. sedap kata Jeny. Pas tu aku kiss dia dan thanx dia for her service.

Bila habis lunch time, kami orang pun sambung kerja macam biasa. Perkara dia lancap aku dengan tangan tu berlarutan la. dia ni macam dah gila sangat dengan batang butuh aku.

Aku tak tahu kenapa dan aku tak mau tahu kenapa. Tak pernah aku tanyakan dia soalan tu. yang aku tahu dia kata batang butuh aku best bagi dia. panas dan sedap di pegang, diramas, diurut.

Habis setiap inci batang butuh aku dan buahnya dia pegang dan urut. kadang-kadang tu, dia dekatkan muka dia kat batang butuh aku dan dengan manja dia cium puas puas dan kenakan kat seluruh muka dia.

Yang pentingnya aku enjoy dengan apa yangg dia buat kat aku. Every time/ada chance sahaja dia mahu main dengan batang butuh aku. Pagi tu memangg dah sah dapat lancap sebab kami orang selalu datang awal.

Petang pun sama. Lunch kalau malas keluar, dah sah dapat. Selalunya dia lancap aku kat dlam office aku. kitorang pretend macam tengah work on something kat komputer aku, tapi tangan dia kat batang butuh aku bawah meja.

Selalunya, kami tengok gambar bogel orang main atau gamabr bogel model model kat internet tu untk menambah stim. Bila baca cerita sex kat web ni pun kami baca sama sama sambiil tangan dia lancap butuh aku.

Setiap kali dia lancapkan aku, mesti sperma aku keluar. Kalau tak keluar, especially bila line kena cut off, dia mesti frust dan asyik mintak maaf sahaja kat aku dan janji akan buat lagii next time.

Selain air liur dia, kadang-kadang kami guna baby oil la losyen la dan macam macam lagii benda sebagai pelincir. Kat office tu, tisu bilik aku selalu kena replace, sampai clerk tu tanya aku apasal tisu cepat habis.

Aku senyum je. Jeny pulak memangg sentiasa bawak tisu bila jumpa aku, sebab dia tahu kitorang berdua perlu tisu banyak banyak. maklumla banyak sangat unexpected things between us. Di pendekkan cerita, ada aje peluang Jeny mahu pegang batang butuh aku, dia akan buat sama ada dari dalam atau dari luar je.

Dlam lif pun kadang-kadang sempat. smbil tunggu lift pun sempat. Kat pantry banyakk kali. Toilet executive kami orang bolih kunci dan tak ramai orang guna so selalu juge kami menyelinap masuk.

Lepas sejam baru keluar. dlam kereta jgn cerita la berapa kali. aku tiap tiap hari hantar dan ambil dia ke office. Jadi korang imagine la peluang yanng Jeny ada untk service aku.

Kereta aku asyik kena pancut sahaja dengan paip bomba aku tu. Kat restoren pun kami orang ambil kesempatan. aku tak boring pun walaupun dia hnya lancap aku dengan tangan sahaja dan aku hanye dari luar sahaja raba raba dia.

Kalau line clear sikit, kat mana mana pun, kami orang akan peluk peluk, cium cium manja macam orang kata cium cium kucing tu la. kadang-kadang aku ambil jugak kesempatan raba payudara dia yanng size 34/35 tu.

Memangg lembut. Putting dia color brownish sikit besar juge putting dia. Bila aku raba payudara dia je, dia jadi stim dan payudara dia makin pejal of course sedap di raba.

Cipap dia pulak, aku hanye raba dari luar je. tembam cipap dia dubur dia, fuh sedap di ramas. Pejal. aku ni bila kena lancap denga tangan, mani lambat keluar sikit.

Jadi untk cepatkan, kena la raba raba dia sikit baru ada kick. Tapi, aku tak pernah raba atau korek cipap dia lagi. itu projek aku seterusnya nanti. yang best tu, walaupun Jeny melancaplan aku banyakk kali masa waktu office, sex aku dengan bini aku tetap macam biasa.

Aku kena layan bini aku, takut nanti dia syak sesuatu. kadang-kadang tu, bini aku tanya, apasal sperma aku sikit sangat? biasa la dah buang banyakk kali mesti sikit, korang pun tau.

Mula la aku explain scientifically macam doktor pasal apa mani lelaki jadi sikit. dia percaya. uh case close. Jeny dengan aku pulak, walaupun kami orang selalu buat kerja tu, kat office kami macam biasa je.

Tadi aku cakap family dia dengan family aku baik kan. Selalu juge family aku pegi rumah dia dan family dia datang rumah aku. Bini aku dan laki dia, macam segan to each other.

Setakat cakap cakap gurau tu ok la for them. Tapi aku dengan Jeny, macam biasa bila ada chance je, dia akan main dengan butuh aku. aku pun macam biasa raba raba dia.

Wife aku dengan laki dia tak syak sangat our affair. kami orang pandai cover line. Ada sekali tu, dia datang kat rumah aku dengan laki dia. lepas makan laki dia main dengan anak aku kat taman depan rumah aku.

Aku tengah tengok tv kat living room. Dari tempat aku, bolih nampak laki dia main dengan anak aku. Jeny pulak tengah baca magazine sambiil meniarap depan aku. dia pakai tights warna hitam yanng aku bagi dia untk birthday dia dulu.

Dia saje halakan cipap dan dubur tembam dia ke arah aku. kadang-kadang dia saje angkat dubur dia dan gerak atas bawah macam orang tengan main sex. lepas tu senyum kat aku.

Gerak badan dia fuh tak leh mahu describe. Susah aku mahu concentrate tengok tv. batang butuh aku memangg dari tadi dah tegang. lepas tu bini aku datang dan dia bagi tau dia mahu pegi ke supermarket kejap.

Ntah apa yanng dia mahu beli aku tak kisah sebab dlam kepala otak, teringat si Jeny tu lancapkan aku je. Sebelum blah bini aku gurau gurau kat aku dan Jeny.

Dia kata kat aku, jgn stim tengok dubur Jeny tu. kitorang orang gelak je. dia tak tau yanng butuh aku memangg dah tegang asyik tengok dubur dan cipap Jeny yanng mengiurkan tu.

Kalau aku dengan bini aku ada projek, bini aku selalu ingatkan aku supaya jgn ingat Jeny masa main dengan dia. padahal bini aku tu lebih cantik dan tak kurang menggodanya kalau compare dengan Jeny.

Kalau orang tak kenal bini aku, mesti tersilap ingatkan dia tu macam sorang pembaca berita TV3 yanng cun, janda anak 3. orang tau kan sape. Bila bini aku blah je, Jeny duduk sebelah aku(dah biasa macam tu even depan spouse) dan ambil satu bantal besar dan cover bahagian bawah pinggang aku la.

Tangan dia mula merayap masuk seluar bola tali getah aku. Dan kerja melancap dia pun bermula. Macam biasa pelincir air liur di gunakan. smbil tangan dia urut batang butuh aku, aku sekali sekala jeling luar tengok laki dia.

Kalau kantoi mampus. Jeny ni memangg pandai urut batang butuh aku. macam macam cara dia buat. Cakap saje apa yang buku sex ajar, batang butuh aku dah merasa. what a lucky dick! Jeny continue urut-urut kan butuh aku.

Ada dekat setengah jam, sperma aku tak mahu keluar jugak. biasa la susah mahu keluar kalau tak concentrate sangat sebab asyik jengok luar je. stelah Jeny usaha sedaya upaya, akhirnya terpancut juge sperma aku.

Jauh juge pancutan tu. Macam biasa Jeny akan lap dengan tisu. Pas tu, kami orang macam biasa balik. begitu lah seterusnya perhubungan aku dengan Jeny yanng gila sangat kat batang butuh aku tu.

Aku bukannya tak gila kat cipap dia, tapi aku masih blurr apasal dia asyik main batang butuh aku je. Ada kah objective dia mahu go all the way ke atau setakat tu je.

Sebab tak sure, aku kena la buat step by step supaya apa yanng aku enjoy sekarang ni tak terlepas. takut nanti yanng di kejar tak dapat, yanng di kendong berciciran.

Ada advance sikit dlam perhubungan kami orang. Jeny dah mula hisap batang butuh aku. dia pun expert juge dlam bab hisap batang ni. in fact the best I’ve ever had.

Tapi kerja yanng macam ni susah sikit mahu cover kat office sebab muka dia kena mengadap batang butuh aku. Sekarang

How cool it'd be if we got a solo Steph run in the year of our Lord 2024. Something that lets us see her as the captain of her own ship. See her interact with Barbara and Cass sure, but just... Gah.

At least a Young Justice with her as the defacto Bat

Ouhhh it’d be so cool…

I’d kill for a Steph solo series, but a Steph solo series would also probably kill me unless it met my (frankly impossibly high) standards.

You’re very right to mention seperating her a little from Cass and Babs. Like I personally love her (preboot) dynamics w both of them but I kind of detest how they’ve sort of become a ‘unit’. Maybe it’s my anti batgirls 2022 bias but It reeks of shuffling the female characters off to their own little less serious corner without of taking them seriously as independent and fully fledged characters. I don’t know.

Ideally (for me) a Steph centric series could have mentions or interactions w other bat characters while giving her some serious breathing room. Having her lead a team, or be part of one, could be very interesting to see. Definitely would be something new to do with Steph, given we’ve never really seen her lead a full team before.

But on the other hand I’m extremely terrified that whatever comic writer she gets will fuck up with writing her. Like, unless they were straight up close reading her time in robin 1993 and paying careful attention to her character throughout her history.

Which isn’t impossible but probably unlikely if im being honest. At the very least, the odds a writer would align with my readings of stephanie and bring that into a modern series featuring her are low. I wouldn’t want a Steph solo run which is like fixated on her past for the record, but I would really need it to be grounded in her preboot characterizations and history to be at all satisfied w a Steph centric comic. (Though I would love a Red Hood: Lost Days style comic for Steph during her Dead Year in Africa. But again, only if they did it right, and matched my probably insane standards)

The very least I could hope in a Steph series is for it to take her seriously, solidify her current timeline and what’s still canon to it, and give her a future as a character. And that they don’t bring back Cluemaster as a villian for her. I’m kind of sick of that story beat. It’s fine in BG2009, but does kinda come out of left field. I didn’t like how it was done in Young Justice 2019 (i cannot see her trying to get Cluemaster to do ‘family therapy’ with her and Crystal. Like at all.) And I didn’t like it in Batgirls either, (I believe that Cluemaster is at his best when he’s a deeply sad, but normal man whose abuse of Steph and Crystal is realistic and unextraordinary. I’m not really as compelled by the idea he was “training” Steph, unless that was just how he justified his abusive behavior)

Anyways sorry to ramble on. Point is, a Steph centric comic could be spectacular and I desperately want her to get more firmly established it would be so cool, but if it was done improperly it might end my life. So mixed feelings. Thank you so much for the ask!!

Betina Gila Batang

Aku ni dah kahwin dan dah ada anak satu. Kerja kat PJ sejak 1/98. Masa aku join company tu, aku dikenalkan dengan sorang secretary (bukan secretary dept aku). Fuhh!.. kalau tengok dia.

Kadang2 aku ambil juga kesempatan raba tetek dia yang size 34/35 tu. Memang lembut. Putting dia color brownish sikit…. besar jugak putting dia. Bila aku raba tetek dia je, dia jadi stim dan tetek dia makin pejal off course sedap di raba. Cipap dia pulak, aku cuma raba dari luar je… tembam cipap dia bontot dia, fuhhh sedap di ramas. Pejal. Aku ni bila kena lancap denga tangan, mani lambat keluar sikit. Jadi untuk cepatkan, kena la raba2 dia sikit baru ada kick. Tapi, aku tak pernah raba atau korek cipap dia lagi.. itu projek aku seterusnya nanti. Yang best tu, walaupun Sha melancaplan aku banyak kali masa waktu office, sex aku dengan bini aku tetap macam biasa. Aku kena layan bini aku, takut nanti dia syak sesuatu. Kadang2 tu, bini aku tanya, apasal air mani aku sikit sangat biasa la dah buang banyak kali mesti sikit, korang pun tau. Mula la aku explain scientifically macam doktor pasal apa mani lelaki jadi sikit. Dia percaya fuhhh case close. Sha dengan aku pulak, walaupun kita orang selalu buat kerja tu, kat office kita macam biasa je.

Tadi aku cakap family dia dengan family aku baik kan. Selalu jugak family aku pegi rumah dia dan family dia datang rumah aku. Bini aku dan laki dia, macam segan to each other. Setakat cakap2 gurau tu ok la for them. Tapi aku dengan Sha, macam biasa bila ada chance je, dia akan main dengan konek aku. Aku pun macam biasa raba2 dia. Wife aku dengan laki dia tak syak sangat our affair.. kita orang pandai cover line. Ada sekali tu, dia datang kat rumah aku dengan laki dia. lepas makan laki dia main dengan anak aku kat taman depan rumah aku. Aku tengah tengok tv kat living room. Dari tempat aku, boleh nampak laki dia main dengan anak aku. Sha pulak tengah baca magazine sambil meniarap depan aku. Dia pakai tights warna hitam yang aku bagi dia untuk birthday dia dulu. Dia saje halakan cipap dan bontot tembam dia ke arah aku. Kadang2 dia saje angkat bontot dia dan gerak atas bawah macam orang tengan main sex.. pas tu senyum kat aku. Gerak badan dia fuhhh tak leh nak describe. Susah aku nak concentrate tengok tv. Batang aku memang dari tadi dah tegang. Pas tu bini aku dating dan dia bagi tau dia nak pi supermarket kejap. Ntah apa yang dia nak beli aku tak kisah sebab dalam kepala otak, teringat si Sha tu lancapkan aku je. Sebelum blah bini aku gurau2 kat aku dan Sha. Dia kata kat aku, jangan stim tengok bontot Sha tu. Kita orang gelak je. Dia tak tau yang konek aku memang dah tegang asyik tengok bontot dan cipap Sha yang mengiurkan tu. Kalau aku dengan bini aku ada projek, bini aku selalu ingatkan aku supaya jangan ingat sha masa main dengan dia. padahal bini aku tu lebih cantik dan tak kurang menggodanya kalau compare dengan Sha. Kalau orang tak kenal bini aku, mesti tersilap ingatkan dia tu macam sorang pembaca berita TV3 yang cun, janda anak 3 orang tau kan sape.

Bila bini aku blah je, Sha duduk sebelah aku(dah biasa macam tu even depan spouse) dan ambil satu bantal besar dan cover bahagian bawah pinggang aku la. Tangan dia mula merayap masuk seluar bola tali getah aku. Dan kerja melancap dia pun bermula. Macam biasa pelincir air liur di gunakan. Sambil tangan dia urut batang aku, aku sekali-sekala jeling luar tengok laki dia. kalau kantoi mampus. Sha ni memang pandai urut batang aku. Macam2 cara dia buat. Cakap saje apa yang buku sex ajar, batang aku dah merasa.. what a lucky dick! Sha continue urut2 kan konek aku. Adalah dekat2 setengah jam, air mani aku tak nak keluar jugak…biasa la susah nak keluar kalau tak concentrate sangat sebab asyik jengok luar je. Setelah Sha usaha sedaya upaya, akhirnya terpancut jugak air mani aku. Jauh jugak pancutan tu. Macam biasa Sha akan lap dengan tisu. Pas tu, kita orang macam biasa balik.

Begitulah seterusnya perhubungan aku dengan Sha yang gila sangat kat batang aku tu. Aku bukannya tak gila kat cipap dia, tapi aku masih blurr apasal dia asyik main batang aku je. Ada kah objective dia nak go all the way ke atau setakat tu je. Sebab tak sure, aku kena la buat step by step supaya apa yang aku enjoy sekarang ni tak terlepas takut nanti yang di kejar tak dapat, yang di kendong berciciran. Awal 1/2000 hari tu, ada advance sikit dalam perhubungan kita orang. Sha dah mula hisap batang aku. Dia pun expert jugak dalam bab hisap batang ni.. in fact the best I’ve ever had. Tapi kerja yang macam ni susah sikit nak cover kat office sebab muka dia kena mengadap batang aku. Sekarang tak yah letak air liur kat tangan dan lumurkan kat batang aku. Air liur automatik dari mulut dia ke batang aku. Dia jugak dah benarkan aku finger cipap dia(tengok cipap life dia belum lagi) banyak sungguh air cipap dia keluar bila aku korek2. Penggunaan tisu kita orang pun bertambah.

So harapan aku dalam dua tiga bulan ni ialah untuk menikmati dan membaham cipap dia pulak, tak kira la samada dapat jilat atau masukkan batang aku dalam cipap dia lagi bagus going all the way home(macam main baseball) sekarang ni baru dapat pegi second base je. Cipap Sha memang tak boleh di biarkan begitu saja tanpa perhatian. Aku takut nanti, aku pulak yag gila kat cipap dia… belum tengok lagi secara life lagi. Buat apa nak gelojoh kejar cipap dia. banyak lagi masa. Tapi cipap Sha memang aku punya ultimate target. Aku nak ganyang sepuas2nya. Ahh… lupa nak cerita. Kadang2 tu Sha hanya ambil masa 2-3 minit je nak keluarkan air mani aku especially bila dia dah geram sangat dengan batang aku tu. Tapi on the average abut 20-30 mins la. Tapi dia very patient and like I said expert in handling dick. Kita selalu jugak main game kalau dia dapat keluarkan air mani aku dengan cepat aku bagi dia hadiah. Rekod paling cepat dia keluarkan air aku ialah 50 sec. Aku kalah teruk masa tu. Kadang2 sesak jugak nak tahan air mani dari keluar bila Sha gunakan macam2 trick tangan dia mengurut batang aku… korang imagine la sendiri. Sha punya favourite ialah pegang batang aku bila lembik dan urut2 sampai keras mencanak. Dia kata best pegang batang lembik, ada umpph. Selalunya dia tak sempat tengok batang aku masa keadaan lembik. Sebab bila aku nampak dia je atau fikir pasal dia je, batang aku dah mengeras, By the time aku bukak zip seluar aku je, dah mencanak2 dan mengangguk2 macam panggil Sha suruh belai lagi. So tough luck for her. The only chance for ialah after aku keluar mani. itu pun kalau masa masa mengizinkan, lepas air mani aku keluar Sha akan pegang2 batang aku yang separuh lembik tu(nak jadi lembik pas tu) dan main2kan. itupun kalau dia nasib baik. Sebab most of the time, even lepas dia lancap aku, batang aku samaada separa tegang atau tegang keras macam batu. Kesian Sha.

Our most obstacle is spender aku la. Menyusahkan pergerakan kita orang. Kadang2 tersepit batang aku. Kalau tak pakai bahaya bila dia naik nanti. Orang nampak. Batang aku tu automatic gear. Tak de disiplin. Naik nafsu sikit je dah nak bangun. Tak yah nak urut2, unlike manual gear laki dia tu. Batang aku tu memang ikut kepala dia je sendiri je.. betul2 dickhead. Sha pulak bila dah dapat batang aku tak ingat dunia lagi. Dia tak kira. Dia tibai je. Kadang2 sampai merah, sore pun dia masih nak lancapkan aku..apa nak buat dah nasib.

Status aku dengan Sha sekarang ni, Sha masih menikmati aku punya ever loaded and ever ready gun semenjak dua tahun yang lalu. Budak2 office kita orang still tak suspect apa2. Kalau dia orang tahu, gerenti aku kena peril kecoh wooo sebab Sha memang pemalu dengan dengan laki2 lain. So they all tak de chance nak kacau Sha. Aku tersangat lah luckynya. Bini aku dan laki dia pun tak suspect apa2. What a great life hah! The billion dollar question now, apasal Sha gila sangat kat konek aku jeMonday, February 21, 2000 Yang peliknya, bila dia lancapkan aku, dia selamba saje macam tak expect anything in return from me. Yang aku pulak macam dah kena pukau sampai tak reti nak buat apa2 kat Sha bila dia lancap atau blow job aku.

Pelik tapi benar! Tapi, bila dia main batang aku, dan aku raba2 atau korek2 cipap dia, dia ada response la. Pompuan pun pandai stim jugak kan. Aku pernah tanya dia, dia pernah buat macam ni dengan orang lain tak, dia kata cuma aku dengan laki dia saja yang dapat perhatian macam ni. Hmmmm malas nak tanya banyak2. Aku harap perkara ni berterusan sampai bila2 dengan aksi2 yang lebih hebat lagi, walaupun duit aku kopak sikit nak maintain dia. kita orang memang ada plan nak hidup sama. Tapi apa boleh buat dua2 dah ada commitment. Nak break that tak sampai hati, so continue je la macam ni as long as tak kantoi. Dulu dia pernah kata laki dia fantasize nak main dia dan sorang lelaki. Dia nak bantai bontot sha, dan laki tu tibai cipap dia… hmmm best jugak ye. Aku harap laki dia pilih aku nanti but I have doubt.

I was bored so I did this.

@mrsbertinelli

“So she shows up in my room, and starts fighting me and making dumb quips and saying how she’s popular at school.”

”Mhm. How old is the kid?”

Barbara rubbed her eyes.

”She said sixteen, but I doubt it. And that’s way too young to start out an untrained vigilante.”

A smirk graced Dinah’s features, “Weren’t you sixteen when you started this gig?”

”I was seventeen.”

“Ah. My mistake,” Dinah sarcastically rescinded her point.

”Dinah, you know what I mean. And when I was seventeen, I’d been through training in martial arts for years, I knew how to shoot a gun with my dad, I had skills. This girl? Probably learned how to fight by watching YouTube videos.”

Dinah hummed.

“And… where is our misfit girl right now?”

”In one of the spare rooms. A gave her a phone to keep her busy while the grown ups talked.”

”How much charge did it have?”

”Enough, why?”

”Well, if that thing runs out, she’ll want to find a charger, and you know what kids love to do in a new place?”

Barbara’s eyes went wide for an imperceptible moment before immediately beginning to roll herself out of the room. Dinah followed after her.

”You’ve got to work on your babysitting manner, Babs.”

”Dinah?”

”Yeah?”

”Shut up.”

”Yes, ma’am.”

Batman for Dummies

Chapter 4: Introducing the BOY HUNTER!

AO3: Chapter 4 | Read from the beginning

Fandom: Batman

Featured Characters/Relationships: Helena Bertinelli & Tim Drake. (*sigh* William Pettit also necessarily shows up a lot this chapter too.)

Wordcount: 10,600

Fic Summary:

In the aftermath of the quake that shook Gotham, Helena Bertinelli takes on the mantle of the Bat. (It isn’t like Batman’s using it.) If she’d known the cowl came with a certain moralizing little bird following her around — well, she probably still would’ve done it, but it would’ve been nice to know in advance. (Or: Tim and Helena team up 2: electric boogaloo. Now with more bats!)

Under the wire, baby! There is still a short epilogue I've got to write for this, but I am counting this towards finishing this fic by the end of the year.

It's time to return to No Man's Land ~drama~ this chapter as we hit the endgame:

Excerpt:

Barbara turned at the sound of the window opening. Robin was climbing through. “Good,” she said. “You’re here.”

“Babs, B.” He nodded to her and Bruce, who was doing his best shadow impression in the cape and cowl at her side. “What’s going on?”

Bruce grunted. “Something’s come up.”

That was her cue. Barbara pulled up the news segment she’d recorded earlier that day.

In it, Lex Luthor stood behind a podium, an overwhelmed looking Jack Drake at his side. “For the past week, we have all been following the tragic story of Tim Drake. We have watched as the government refuses to do anything to help this poor child, trapped in No Man’s Land. Well I refuse to stand by any longer. If the government won’t help you, Mr. Drake, then I will. LexCorp will be sending a private task force to do everything they can to rescue your son. As a nation, we have too long turned a blind eye to No Man’s Land. LexCorp will stand for it no longer.

He shook Jack Drake’s hand, smiling wide for the cameras, and then the man was being pushed to the microphone.

“I am, uh, of course, very thankful for your help,” he said, less assured than Luthor had been. “I just want Tim back home safe. I want my son—”

“Stop it,” Robin said, his voice thick with an emotion Barbara politely pretended not to notice.

She paused the video.

“Why are you showing me this?” he demanded. Then, to Bruce: “Why?”

“Robin,” Barbara said gently. “I’m not stupid, kid. You made national news.”

“Tim—” Bruce said.

Robin turned on him. “B,” he said, half pleading and half angry.

“—you know this changes things,” he continued. “Luthor will have people looking for you. It’s an additional risk.” Then, his voice softer and with a hundred layers of restraint. “Your father’s looking for you.”

“You don’t get to—” Robin said. “You don’t— I’m not leaving.”

“We need to do something,” Barbara said, before things devolved further. “We can’t risk Luthor poking his nose into our operations.”

“We could use the PR to our advantage if we arrange for you to—” Bruce started to say.

“I already told you, I’m not leaving,” Robin crossed his arms. “I’ve been here for nine months already. I’m staying to the end.

“Are you sure?”

“B, listen to me.”

He let out a carefully metered breath. “Fine. We’ll figure something out.”

Robin relaxed. “Thanks.”

He lingered after Bruce had left.

“I guess I don’t need this anymore,” he said, peeling off his mask.

“You didn’t think you could keep it from me forever, did you?” Barbara asked.

“No, I guess not.” He sighed. “I didn’t mean for it to be such a big deal. I just… I just wanted my dad to know I was okay.”

“He obviously cares about you.”

“Yeah,” Tim said distantly. “He does.”

Sception Reads Cass Cain #21

Ghost / Batgirl #1-4 Words: Mike Kennedy Pictures: Ryan Benjamin Additional Work: Randy Emberlin, Howard Shun

One impression I used to have that going back to look at ~all~ of Cass's early appearances has forced me to reconsider is the idea that she didn't appear outside of her own books very much. While later on that is more the case, early on she does have a fair few guest appearances and cross overs, including in this bit of non-canon dual publisher cross promotion with Elisa Cameron, aka Ghost, a Dark Horse character with a solo that had been running since 1995.

The miniseries pits long time Batman villain Harvey Dent against brand new Ghost antagonist Malcolm Greymater - a (fictional) confederate general turned zombie libertarian corpse reanimator - in a conflict over Greymater poaching some of Dent's employees (ie reanimating goons that Dent killed). Babs, Cass, and Elisa get caught in the middle and are forced to work together after following separate threads of a bombing by Two Face and bodies stolen by Greymater only to be sold off into unsavory employment after failed reanimation experiments.

I don't want to go through the whole thing with a plot summary - it's four issues of non-canon stuff after all. But as a stand alone story it works fairly well, worth a read if you're a fan of early Cass. In particular there's solid characterization of Harvey Dent and what it's like to work for him - pretty bad actually. You can see why he'd get upset at someone trying to poach his guys, working conditions for goons in Gotham are terrible, if word got around of better conditions in Arcadia (Ghost's hometown) or wherever else then Batman's villains could easily find themselves suffering a labor shortage. The mere idea of that is funny enough to me that I can't help but like this little mini series, and it's an idea I'd love to see brought back. Goons On Strike - now there's a solid idea for an ongoing Gotham event crossover.

Anyway, Ghost/Batgirl is definitely a higher fantasy story than we usually see from Cass, at least back in the early days, but there's a focus on the individual lives and humanity of the underlings working for the villains that's very grounded and down to earth. That fits in really well next to the "street level" focus of Cass's early solo title. As for the book's cross-promotional function, it does make me curious about Ghost, though probably not enough so to go back and look at her solo title. I like her villain here, but Malcolm Greymater and his crew seem to be more or less exclusive to this crossover? Comicvine is telling me he maybe appears in a single issue outside of this, so that's kind of disappointing.

So setting aside the story, how's our girl in this? Well, first of all, she's being drawn by new hands. In costume she's mostly fine.

Sleek and spooky, glossy black. The details of her form are sometimes lost in the darkness, which loses some specificity in the action panels, but in a way that mostly works aesthetically. My only real complaint here is that her facial expression doesn't really show through the mask. You don't get a sense of what she's thinking or feeling in costume, she's just this dark angry spooky form, not so much a person or a character. As I've said in the past, though, that's as much or more a criticism of her costume design as it is of how any particular artist draws her in it.

It's also worth noting that, as with Cass's early pairing with Azrael, her costume contrasts very nicely with Ghost's. White with round hood and billowing cape vs. Cass all black and pointy. Aesthetically it's a great fit.

Out of costume, though...

I don't know. Just doesn't quite look like Cass to me? I know, I know, comic character facial features don't have the same specific canon as their costumes do, different artists have different styles so characters will look different, and there's definitely a stylistic element here that isn't gelling with me. The overall shape of the head is too thin, maybe, making her look a bit older than she should, where I'm used to Scott's more rounded face, stronger jaw, bushier eyebrows, shorter, poofier hair.

Scott's style, at least at the time, also just packs in more emotional expression, which is absolutely critical for a silent protagonist.

By contrast Benjamin's Cass, when she's not in costume, is often just standing a bit behind Babs with a sort of blank, neutral expression while Babs interacts with other characters or the audience for her.

...

Which also kind of brings us to the writing for Cass here. Ghost / Batgirl is probably the best example yet that silent Cass was a mistake, because yeah, the creators of this book just do not know how to convey her character to the reader without words. The first image starts with Cass looking out over the wreckage of a bombing, and of course there's pseudo noir internal monologue all over it, because how else do you start a bat-book, only Cass can't narrate so Babs provides the narration even though she isn't even in that scene.

Babs goes along on the adventure mostly so the writers have someone who can talk for Cass, or even in some panels quite literally talk over Cass.

Cass is an intimidating physical presence in costume, but in this book she functions more as an extension of Babs than as a person in her own right.

...

It's not all bad, though. In particular there's this one bit introducing an additional ability for Cass that makes perfect sense with her backstory and yet sadly I don't think is ever mentioned again in a canon Batgirl story:

Cass gets poisoned, but she survives, and recovers remarkably quickly, because she has a natural resistance to many poisons and venoms built up from repeat exposure to tiny amounts when she was a child, because of course that's something David would do. You could just imagine little Cass and David having drinking contests to see who could take the most poison before passing out, or even sneakily poisoning each other as a little game of escalating pranks.

...

So yeah, overall a nice little stand alone series with maybe not the best depiction of Cass, but one that is illustrative of why the major change to have her start speaking, while I still don't like how it was done, was probably for the best.

A Young Outlaw's Guide to Hitching a Ride Home

Prompts for a series of fics I'll likely not get around to ever writing.

Feel free to adopt and adapt, using as little or as much as you like.

----

----

Wonder Woman; Tim Drake; Ferdinand the Kithotaur (title ideas: "Tell an Adult" "Doing what needs to be done")

Batman is on a plane somewhere over the Atlantic. A slow civilian plane, that definitely isn't big enough to fit the BatPlane in the hold.

Which isn't kind of plane Batman takes when he knows Robin is being hunted by the Joker.

Superman looked half dead in the news footage. He was barely walking by the time parasite was arrested.

The Titans seem to be off world. Tim has no idea how to contact the Flash.

That means Wonder Woman. Which means Tim need to get to the Themiscarian Embassy in DC as fast as possible.

(Also featuring: Cooking lessons and discrete child neglect assessment questions with Ferdinand the Kithotaur.)

----

----

Roy Harper (title ideas: "Friends in Low Places" "The Corn Pollen Path" "First Step")

You don't stop shooting up because heroin stops feeling like heroin. You stop shooting up because you find something more important than the next score.

Roy Harper finds that in a seedy bar in eastern Kasnia, when he hears two thugs he recognizes as Joker henchmen talking about "the boss" going bird hunting in Ethopia.

He may be an addict. He may be a has-been. But he was a Titan, and he will be damned if he scrounges for his next score while another Titan falls into that clown's trap.

Even if it kills him. (He tries not to hope too hard that it does).

----

----

Veronica Vreeland; Roxy Rocket (title ideas: "Ronnie & Roxy's Rescue Service" "I'm the Cool Aunt")

"Roxie! Darling! I need a ride! I have to get to Ethopia so I can kill Harley's ex."

Roxie knew Veroinca Vreeland was crazy. She regularly encouraged Harley to kidnap her "for brunch." She dated the Penguin. Voluntarily. Before today, she just didn't know that "crazy" extended to HALO jumps from a rocket plane on a mission to kill the Joker. … Maybe Ozzie has good taste after all.

----

----

Jordan Hill; Barbara Gordon (title ideas: "Someone who's been there before")

"I'm not an idiot, Babs. I've known you and every single member of the Wayne family since we were kids. We don't have time for this. I don't care what you all get up to at night: Jeckko is hunting Jason, and I'll be damned if I let that asshole hurt another kid."

----

----

Garth of Shayaris (title ideas: "Tagging in" "The-Batman's-an-Asshole-Phone-Tree")

"You're telling me that Vic has a program running that goes through the entire internet to sort out if I'm doing 'something weird'."

"I mean, it used to track Dickie-bird. But yeah."

"Because if Dick was doing something weird, it means B was an asshole."

"Obviously. He's still an asshole, right?"

"Yes. And there is a phone tree for this. For when B is an asshole."

"Yes."

"Aren't you supposed to be King of Atlantis right now? Seems like you should have shit to do. Besides following my ass to Ethopia."

"Acting King. And if Arthur can be an asshole and dump all his work on me without asking, I can definitely take a personal day."

----

----

Ra's Al Ghul (title ideas: "Ra's Al Ghul is many things")

"Sir, he has the boy."

"Where is the Detective?"

"He's on his way. But, sir, he won't make it there in time."

"I should never have allied myself with that madman."

Ra's paused and gazed out the window. Talia wondered how may people besides her would recognize regret in her father's face.

"Then I must go in the Detective's stead. Have the hangars ready our fastest plane, then fetch my armor and swords." Her father did not turn from the window as Ubu rushed out to see to his orders. He simply stared out the window until he spoke again.

"Talia. Prepare the pit while I am gone. His father will not thank me for it, but if my folly comes to its worst end I will not deprive my grandson of his brother."

[jinkieswouldyoulookatthis]

Wanna know what you think on the "Dean Fetishizes Asian Women" take. I personally don't agree with it at all, since it seems like internet think fetishizing = finding it hot. But I wanted to know what you think.

Oof, this is a tricky subject, isn't it.

Okay, first off, loudly and clearly, Supernatural did not handle certain topics in a great way. I think this is pretty much a given. Many, many people have made very excellent points about inherent racism underlying the show, and I think that it would be ridiculous to try to claim that wasn't true. Our society is inherently racist though and I think that's where it comes from, not from any conscious or malicious intent of the show. So, yes there are racist elements and I think that Busty Asian Beauties falls into that because of the broad tendency of American culture to fetshize Asians and Asian culture.

But do I think that Dean had a fetish for Asian women?

Merriam-Webster defines Fetish as

1 a : an object (such as a small stone carving of an animal) believed to have magical power to protect or aid its owner broadly: a material object regarded with superstitious or extravagant trust or reverence b : an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion : prepossession c : an object or bodily part whose real or fantasied presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression 2 : fixation

Now, b and c are the parts that would apply to BAB, which I feel needs to be pointed out, is a porn magazine and porn website. BAB is porn, and due to the assumed narrow scope of it's highlighted subject matter, it would traditionally be considered fetish porn. The assumption being that anyone who chose to flip through it was looking for a specific flavor of eroticism and eye candy, namely, Asian women.

Dean also, canonically, likes hentai.

But, there is a difference between have an appreciation for something and needing that thing. Dean doesn't only hit on or hook up with Asian women in the show. Now the lack of Asian women in the show may be part of this idk, and I think this might be why it feels perhaps even more sleazy, because for the most part Asian women are almost exclusively represented through this porn mag/website. And that's problematic, y'all. But it's not really on Dean, like that's not his fault, it's a casting writing thing. Dean as a character is simply portrayed as liking and appreciating women in general and has an ongoing appreciation of Asian women in his porn preferences.

By the definition above, I do not think Dean had a fetish. I think Dean likes attractive, naked women and that he probably found Asian women to be exotic and thus tantalizing. Dean is also a bit of a dirtbag (affectionate) and was not above just running with some of his pervier/creepier fantasies. I mean, come on, he canonically had a thing for twins/triplets and young (but of legal age) women, so he's never beating those dirtbag allegations. But, perhaps more importantly, he never even tries to beat those allegations. Dean knows who he is and is, mostly, okay with that.

Technically speaking, to fetishize a person is to completely objectify them, to reduce them solely to the role of a sex object to be used, and I do not think that this is something that Dean actually does. He does have lots of casual sex with zero intentions of building any longer term relationship from it, but he is shown as being caring, attentive, and pretty respectful to his partners, so there isn't really any evidence that he objectifies women outside of pornography which, by it's nature, objectifies the people portrayed in it.

So I guess my take is that Dean appreciates the physical beauty and sexual allure of Asian women enough that two of his porn categories of choice feature Asian women. Beyond the overall societal racist issues at play in making BAB a running gag in the show, specifically as a way of reminding the audience of Dean's dirtbagginess, I don't think it qualifies as a fetish or even a kink tbh.

I don't know if that answered your question , Nonny, but those are my thoughts on that. Lol.

CHAPTER SIX: EXPLANATIONS

YOUROFFICIALREPIRTER@BLONDIE

Our residence bonde does not seem that exited for the choice in court members.

#youllbesurprised

After hackling  Chloe into an agreeing on having Juleka as a probationary member of the group they sat in a circle, some on the floor, chaise, bad and any chair available awaiting for Marinette's explanation. Marinette sat between Felix and Luka fidgeting nervously.

Both boys saw this and grabbed a hand next to them gently squeezing it in comfort, whilst glaring at one another. Chloe of course still found her friends predicament amusing and couldn't help but throw a smirk at their direction. She enjoyed chaos and this right here was filled with it.

"Can yall stop trying to figure out who's dick is bigger than who's for five minutes," Chloe huffed with a smirk and mischievous look in her eyes. Marinette narrowed her eyes at the sight.

"What do you say Marinette," Luka whispered into one ear.

"Wanna check so we can end this fued once and for all," Felix whispered into the other causing Marinette to squeak as she turned bright red while Chloe cackled. No nope, this was not happening, they were now working together?

"No nope no," Tim said shaking his head. "As tge second most chilled brother *Duke clears his throat*, third most chilled brother I would like to say that I will burry you alive watch it"

Marinette took a deep breath attempting to chase away the redness on her cheeks.

"So some of you need to be briefed on my past, others need an explanation of why I broke the group up or why I cut half of yall off for three years-"

"Cause your original reason is unbelievable," Chloe added causing a few of the group members to sneaker.

"Then they are those who want to know about the Lila situation," Marinette continued ignoring her best friend. "So all in all I need to start at the very beginning of my life."

"Let me assist you," Jason says clearly in a rush. "Bruce was irresponsible, she was the consequences of that mistake now let's get to this Lila chick."

"Baby bat you need to calm down and let her do this in her own pace," Dick says causing the dark haired boy to huff.

"So as Jason so helpfully put in," Marinette said causing Chloe to snort. "I'm Bruce Wayne's child, my father and mother were in a brief relationship that resulted in my birth. Sadly she lost her life when she gave birth to me. She left me to my father at the time, but he still had a few things going on in his life so my aunt took me in with promises of letting me visit during summer and winter break, you know for the holidays,"

"So you grew up in Paris?," Aurora asks eyes shinning.

"No I grew up in China," Marinette answers with a small laugh. "That's how I met Marc, he's part of the rich dangerous family community."

"Oh," the blonde simply says allowing the girl to continue her story.

"So Sabine Cheng raised me, allowing me to do a bit of back and forward between China and Gotham," she continued. "Galas were a big part of the agreement I had galas both in China-"

"Which is where we met," Chloe added before muttering. "I brat"

"And Gotham-" She continued without missing a beat.

"White is where I fell for her," Felix says throwing a smirk at Luka.

"I actually remember a lot of fighting during that day," Dick says causing a few giggles to erupt from the room and an annoyed look to cross upon Felix's features.

"Yes it was hate at first sight," Chloe cackled.

"Though it kind of ended when he saw her punch a grown man in the balls," Babs adds.

"My all time favorite Gala moment," Jason says dabbing fake tears with a fake hankerchief.

"I was never officially introduced to society as either a Wayne or a Cheng for the first couple of years because both parties wanted me in the spotlight thinking I was still too young," Marinette continued.

"Especially since mother was heiress of their entire family fortune," Chloe adds.

"And her Father was one of the richest man in the world and she was at the time his only know heir," Felix continues.

"It's a good thing you weren't there when Damian arrived actually," Tim quips in.

"Otherwise he would have killed you," Stephanie says side eying tge boy.

"Another thing that helped was that I was 2 years older than you," Damian mutters.

"I thought you were going to bring up gender," Jeleka mutters somewhat drawing attention to her once more. The girls ability to dissappear and be forgotten was honestly scary.

"My mother raised, I learnt quite awhile ago you do not underestimate the opposite gender," The boy said with a winch.

"What happened with his mother?" Aurora asked.

"We don't talk about that," multiple voices echoed.

"Alright," Aurora says putting her hands up in surrender, being a reporter didn't mean she was stupid. Something told her if she continued to dig she wouldn't leave to tell the story.

"So when Damian was forced to go to School, he dragged me along stating her wasn't going to suffer it on his own," Marinette says. "So I relocated to Gotham."

"And we followed," Chloe and Felix say at the same time.

"Felix followed Marie around like  a puppy dog at the time and took her relocation as an excuse to finally be close to her," Chloe continues with a smirk.

"And Chloe was obsessed with the bluenette and wanted everything Marinette," Felix laughed as the blonde girl blushed.

"You had a crush on her?" Kagami asks causing the blondes blush to intensify.

"Yes but I got over it when we were 12, I kind of knew I stood no chance," she admitted glancing at the blonde boy sitting next to the bluenette before her eyes trailed towards Luka. "Though maybe I should've tried harder."

It was obvious she was trying to shift the attention from her anger to the possibility of the blonde boys anger. But Felix did not take the bait, he smirked at her clearly counting this encounter as his victory.

"Don't worry I felt something for Marinette as well it's nothing to be embarrassed about," Kagami says offering the blonde an awkward nudge, she was clearly not used to social interactions. Chloe stared at the girl who was already staring at her, the two kept eye contact for longer than was considered friendly.

"Wait you two are gay," Aurora shouted shattering their moment causing Felix to chuckle.

"Yes/I'm bi," Chloe and Kagami answered causing the blonde to squeal.

"Ok so I had been dragged to school against my will," Marinette said continuing with the story. "Which was annoying because I had spent my whole life being homeschooled,"

"More like being groomed to one day take over the world," Chloe mutters.

"You'd think being raised by mafia leaders is bad," Marc shivered. "The mafia is scared of the Chengs"

"Well so we sort of took over the school, we were groomed to be leaders and became just that as soon as we entered the social environment we did just that," Marinette continued on ignoring the interjections.

"Plus Marie wanted to rid the world of all evil," Felix says with a smile. "And I'd follow my queen to the ends of the earth."

"But it soon became too much for me, somehow information about me was leaked, paparazzi was everywhere all the time and the kidnapping attempts," Marie says.

"On the plus side you got Harley and Ivy to completely adore you," Dick interjected earning a small smile from the girl.

"Yeah but I was young and at the time I wanted at least a shred of normalcy," Marinette says. "So for my 11th birthday I asked for them to make it all go away."

"And they delivered," Jason says with a bitter smile knowing very well he was one of the reasons she wanted to escape Gotham, well at least his death was.

"So they moved me to Paris where my Aunt had gone after falling in love with uncle Tom," she continued. "We gained different allies to help me blend in,"

"And where she went we followed," Chloe says pointing to Felix, Marc and herself.

"We once again took over our new school," Felix continues.

"Riding the school of all that is bad," Marc continued on.

"Picking up strays along the way," Chloe says eyeing Nathaniel before tearing her gaze away from him and muttering. "Though some of them did not deserve it."

"The world soon forgot of Marie Wayne, for I had disappeared just as soon as I had appeared," Marinette continues. "Life was okay for about three years before I had someone say something that haunted my everyday living."

"'don't you regret it' those four simple words got me thinking about everything, what if I was doing the world more bad then I was good," she said voice cracking as a single tear slipped down her cheek." I was destroying lives, people were afraid of me, I felt like an oppressor, a villain. And I felt as though no one truly knew me, they just knew the ruthless queen."

"So you asked the gang to split apart," Chloe says with a tinge of guilt finally realizing her friends inner temoil.

"Yeah not my finest moments, I'm sure if I had talked to yall-"

"We would have told you how wrong you were," Jason finished off for her.

"And how much good you'd actually done for us," Aurora says clearly heartbroken at her queens mental state.

"We bow down to you Marinette because of your kindness," Juleka surprisingly says followed with a bow.

"Because of your heart," Felix says following the Goths example.

"Your melody," Luka says with his bow.

"Your bravery," Kagami says.

"Your loyalty," Chloe says with a smile as the rest of the group added their own compliment followed with a bow.

"I'm very grateful for this show of affection," Marinette laughs feeling a bit lighter then she had in years. "But I'd really like to continue this story."

"Yes we're getting to the Lila girl," Jason says firmly followed by a few growls from different members of the group.

"Yes well a few months after the group split, I was honestly ready to come to yall and burden you with my feelings, then a certain incident happened and it completely broke me," Marinette says causing Felix to look away in guilt. "It wasn't even the person's fault it was all a misunderstanding that communication could have solved"

"Communication is a new court rule," Chloe declared.

"So I spent the next couple of years as a shadow of who I used to be, I ignored all that was wrong and made friends who did nothing but walk all over me," Marinette says tears flowing once more. "I did everything for those people, I even went as far as losing myself and the threw ne aside over the words of some liar who can't even style her hair!"

"I'll brief everyone on the rest, you don't need to continue Marie," Chloe says earning a greatful smile from the crying bluenette who was now squeezed in between her suitors.

"Thanks Chlo," she says causing the blonde to beam at the nickname.

"Yeah, yeah you softly," The blonde said feigning dismissal. "Let's plan our revenge."

[intothetlkverse]

Decided to challenge myself by drawing every single TLK character out there, up until this point in time, and post it here. You can see the finished project on my main account, though I figured to post it on my tumblr just show I could proudly show off my work and a few of my head canons.

Here's all the extra species across TLG/K:

So with every list, there are almost always the outliers. I did try to be good about my sheets, combining species by similar categories like family tree relations(i.e. giraffes and okapis are both giraffids, feliforms, mustelids, etc.) or by general feel such as general size or associations(ex. aardvarks in the non-rodents category). However there was no doubt in my mind that I would end up with some truly hard to justify extras, ones that just couldn't fit, would've fit except for the lengths of the lists, or not enough members to justify their own list, and even some I forgot/chose to ignore until now. I'll give a brief description of them, why they didn't make any previous sheets, and any justifications for any changes I made.

Starting off with the bears, one of the biggest categories and probably could've made a smaller list, though I wasn't sure how to go about that. So Africa technically doesn't have any bears, the extinct Atlas bear aside, however in the Middle East we do have the Syrian brown bear, which is close enough to Africa, which makes it good enough for me. So from panda to polar to grizzly, they're all now Syrian brown bears, and there are five of them; Tangaagim/Taqaddam(reverence/sanctity-Arabic), his wife Female Polar Bear/Pabalelo(protection-Afrikaans), Heng Heng/Henna(a shrub, polite-Arabic), baby panda/Bapana(father-Sudanese) from the T&P Show episode/book "Don't Break the China", along with his parents, and Smolder the bear/Mvutaji(smoker) from various episodes. The first three are all native to the Tree of Life, as some of the few predators aside from the lions and Varya's family, though they mostly keep to themselves and chow down on the local foliage and fish. Bapana and his family live elsewhere in a more jungle setting, a strange trio as panda father's are notable absence typically. Mvutaji is a loner to most and a real pain in the butt and bully if you do get to know him, hence why others tend to avoid him. He's had a couple run-ins with Timon and Pumbaa, and has develop quite the aggression towards them.

Next is our other largest category here, featuring the goats. Technically could've added them to the bovines list, though that already was too long and had to be split. As for the goats, our mountain goats from TLG are now now Arabian tahr; Rama(ram), Cek/Cheik(learned, Arabic), and Baby/Bab(door, Arabic). A small herd, their family has lived for generations in the Tree of Life, enjoying the rocky cliffs surrounding the Oasis, occasionally acting as scouts for the pride.

We also have the Goat/Uboya(wool) from "The White I-don't-know-what", now a Nubian ibex, and Billy the Goat/Mbuzi(goat) from "Serengeti Western", also an ibex. For the former, after an eagle tries to hunt Simba during his mountain scaling trip, Simba struggles and the eagle ends up drops him. He lands in Uboya, and of course he's frightened by the sudden predator landing on his back, but after a brief moment of panic and decomposition, he allows Simba to ride him up the mountain to where the snow is. Meanwhile Mbuzi, along with Gaidi the scrub hare and Mad Dog McGraw/Nadawa(drugs) the wild dog, are part of a group of ruffians that threaten others for resources. Also there is Happy dog/Thabo(happiness-Southern Sotho) from "Let's Serengeti Out of Here". My HC is that Nadawa is an outcast from his pack due to his more sadistic, thieving behaviors and Thabo is his younger brother who thinks the world of his brother, not realizing he's a wanted criminal. Happy dog of course got a massive design rehaul to fit here, though I tried to still keep some semblance like making his eye color his original blue palette, keeping the lighter tip of his tail, and even sneaking in a smiley face in reference to his original tie on his chest. Mad Dog McGraw keeps his original colors, though I used the colors from his shirt, gloves, and hat as the spots/patches. The both of them I didn't know they existed until I really scoured the TLK wiki, otherwise he would've made it onto the canines sheet.

Going back to our hooved animals, we have our bactrian camel, now an Arabian-native dromedary camel; Nundu(hump), Kiril/Kiri(confession), a musk-deer-now-turned-Barbary-stag, and Tenuk/Teneil(cloud-Arabic) the tapir, now a rhino. Technically speaking, deer and antelope are not in the same family, cervidae vs bovidae, and while they may look similar, they are not closely related. Hence why he's here. Also I think I might lowkey ship him and Nundu here based on how they're looking at each other. Kiri and his herd are in the Nightlands in order to recoup their numbers after several tragedies wiped a lot of them out. Nundu is one of the Night Pride's members, serving as a messenger and guide for those seeking refuge at the Tree, directing them there if they see they truly need help, and Kiri was one of the ones Nundu personally guided back. Nundu got a hump removed to be more accurate to the Arabian-native camel species there, though I tried to keep some of the shaggy look. As for Teneil, tapirs are found in Malaysia, Sumatra, and South American countries, so a species swap was in order. Residing in the forest that Mama Civet and her porcupine prickle resided in, since their departure the community has slowly been rebuilding their strength and making it a safe haven for travelers once more, allowing the cultivation and free usage of tuliza for all. I chose rhino for him since that's the closest species they're related too, aside from horses interestingly enough, though looking at those lips I can see the resemblance. It does also amuse me a bit to think of a full-grown rhino being scared witless by a civet and some porcupine, then realizes later 'oh wait, I have a horn and several hundred pounds on these bullies'.

Next large category is primates, just non-monkeys: Kely(little-Malagasy) the golden bamboo lemur and the last of the Nightlanders, Perata(ring-Malagasy) the ring-tailed lemur from "A King-like Hairdo" that Simba saves from a log jam, Tarsier/Truuk(trick-Afrikkans) from "Congo on Like This", and Laini(delicate) the galago/bushbaby. Would've been on the primates list if it were not for the fact that it was so long, even when split up. So my HC is that a couple years ago, a horrible monsoon season hit Madagascar, and unfortunately several animals; Kely, Perata, and Truuk included, got sent to the mainland on fallen trees. Some like Kely and his troop eventually found themselves at the Tree of Life and settled in their, unable to figure out how to return back home. Perata the ring-tailed lemur found themselves in a similar predicament, landing closer to the Pridelands, though after being rescued and then rescuing Simba, the cub got him in touch with a bateleur eagle named Ubawa, who had previously shown great prowess and proficiency in returning animals back to their original homeland, as with Eiso the African penguin. Though locating and flying across the water to an island 250 miles off the coast while carrying a lemur on his back, Ubawa eventually succeeded in returning the little lemur home, then promptly retired from this job, and actually retired on the island. Next the tarsier, now aye-aye, Truuk, of whom I split both his tarsier disguise and jackal self into two different characters, now working together as partners. Though I hate to add further negative connotations to aye-ayes, given their already 'bad omen status', it was the closest thing I could get, since tarsiers are native to Southeast Asia and aye-ayes are from Madagascar, plus look closely to the former. He eventually came into contact with the jackal Barakoa. Using this misguided stereotype of being a harbinger of evil, plus being a generally frightening creature, he was able to negotiate with the jackal for his life; he would help trick and trap animals for Barakoa to kill, then they would split the results. Timon and Pumbaa nearly were the victims of this, though thankfully they had Simba around to chew butt and kick gum.... and.. well Tarsier's eyes kinda have that pink gum look to them, right? Lastly we have Laini the galago, a Pridelands native. Though mostly nocturnal, her and her group seem to be more diurnal, interacting with other animals freely in the day. Though skittish, she is very kind, even acting on occasion as the night patrol for the rulers.

Next up are marsupials, a group of mammals that have pouches in which their babies are nurtured in after birth. They are also mostly native to Australia and opossums are found additionally in both North/South America, though obviously not Africa, unless we go back several ages ago, though I like to stay more modern. First is Boudreaux/Butros(rock-Arabic) the opossum from "Okay Bayou?". Had considered moonrat, though that's a Southeast Asian species, plus not even a real rat. To keep with the grey color/general body shape/long snout, I went with the African giant shrew. Anyways he's one of Timon and Pumbaa's pals, an honest, simple soul. Next is formerly kangaroos, now springhares, mother and son duo; Joey/Jahi(dignified) and Joey's Mother/Jokia(attractive).

Lastly of the land-dweller is King of Pluto/Udo(second son-Afrikaans), given meerkat form. Unlike his daughter which did make it into the meerkat category, this guy didn't have any meerkat disguise or anything. His slug-like appearance would've made it onto the bug sheet, though I decided to just try and invent a meerkat form for him to go with his daughter. Colors like his daughter, blonde hair for his crown, eyebrows and chin meant to reflect his tentacles, and the blue and purple turaco feathers are reminiscent of his crown and cape.

And finally, the last category is warm-blooded sea creatures with Lumba Lumba(dolphin-Sudanese) the Indo-Pacific dolphin and Lester/Balyena(whale-Iloko) the humpback whale. Lester is a female human cursed to be a wish-giving male whale that gets turned back after fulfilling the wishes. I've already decided to do humans in the future for this project, just turned into animals to keep in with the animal-centric theme of this universe, though considering this character was a human that got turned into a whale, I've decided to just leave them as is. Also decided to split the difference, making them both female and a whale. Also I like how their name sounds like 'baleen', which is the name for the mouth filter system in most whales that allows them to strain seawater for food. Lumba Lumba is a Indo-Pacific dolphin. Both Chinese and Amazon river dolphins are known to be pink, though given that Lumba Lumba is clearly an ocean-dwelling type, an that albinism in ocean-dwelling dolphins does result in them becoming a pinkish color, like Angel the bottlenose dolphin, it made sense to make that the reason here, though unfortunately it does mean she's even more at risk for sunburns and the like. Decided to keep her saturated pink look.
