#pillowtalk scandal

[alianoralacanta]

Important additional context: BusinessF1 is the current outlet for Tom Rubython, previously of F1 Magazine (the turn-of-the-millenium version, that was bought out by FOM after 18 months). He has a longstanding reputation of mixing together articles that predicted things very well with… articles that turned out to have been pure fabrication, absolute tripe. A master of ten-page clickbait. I found it easy to tell which was which, but I could see even then how someone unfamiliar with the writing style (even one reading without an agenda) would be confused. He was quite happy to upset anyone and everyone on the way. I cannot recall a single instance where he or anyone connected with his ventures apologised for published falsehoods, except when a lawyer or judge required it. He hasn't had a consistent paddock pass since late 2002, but makes no attempt to reveal this to readers. I have not read the article where the allegations were made because in this case it was obviously dodgy before I even found out where the rumour was from, and I would advise people to avoid the article also (don't fall for clickbait). (Important addendum: I am not aware of any misogynistic actions on his part, his remit back then meant he could pretty much avoid writing about women as racing drivers (perhaps to not tip his hand?), but he expressed excessive machismo in his writings two decades ago in a way that even then, placed limitations on his understanding of motorsport. Sounds like he has not learned his lesson).

Do you believe that the susie allegations have nothing behind them. From what I can tell the whole thing started with thr businessf1 article but idk i want to believe the fia has something more behind the scenes at least to start this investigation (even if its delusional).

they're completely baseless. there is nothing behind this.

BusinessF1 is not just a libellous rag but a specifically misogynist one. its previous venture into interfering with all-female junior series was an article saying that W Series should have sold teenagers' sex appeal to survive.

you have to understand how much people hate women in motorsport. it's endemic to the point that not hating stands out as feminist. existing as a woman in motorsport is like feeling like you barely have permission to exist, even if (and it's always when) you're much more qualified than any man in the room.

it's also important to understand that in mid-November the FIA appointed Dieter Rencken (my err, former colleague I guess) as the F1 commissioner. I know Dieter, from incidents such as eg: when I worked out which country in the UAE the Mazepin groping incident took place (extremely relevant since there are differing laws between Dubai and Abu Dhabi) he phoned me and said the FIA would be in touch (they never were) - then went off on a strange tangent about "how will young men meet women now" to which I was like "not like this m8."

that's how much they hate us.

hdndhfh being a poodle hybrid with argenti and sampo vould veer into wildly different directions

with argenti its praise kink, body worshipping- man is on a mission to make sure his sweet poodle knows just how loved and beautiful she is!!! lights scented candles while laying jer down on a bed of roses, kissing everywhere on her body,,, a whole, entire night of lovemaking and soooo much pillowtalk.. definitely pampers her after such an intensive session of pleasure, drawing up a bath and massaging oils into her sore skin, and definitely brushes out her hair and ears :((...

but with sampo, oh boy!!! say it with me now: 🗣MAJOR 👏 CORRUPTION 👏 KINK!!! Poodles are always sooooo prim and proper and pretty, Sampo just cant help but want to ruin that image :( ties her wrists to the headboard while he grinds between her legs, laughing and cooing while his hard-on nestles against her pussy </3 he wants her to admit that she's a cockdrunk whore before he can put it in!!! and once he does, he's going to edge her, pulling his cock out before his pretty poodle can cum :(((( very mean. and when his poodle starts begging for release, sampo overstimulates her so much that she squirts hard when he cums inside!!!!!!

ill probably draw these out later >/////<

I love your work so much!! I love how you handled the student x teacher request, given that I had some misgiving towards it, but I love how you write it!! May I request sum ,, Tamaki hc's? both nsfw and sfw?? The idea of him being a lowkey dom and confident behind closed doors is just 👌 I love you! Hope you have a good one today, and eat lots of delicious food!

Ofc!

Requests are temporarily closed while I catch up on them!

Warnings: nsfw below the cut, some like dom/sub mentions but it’s p tame bc im a vanilla bean lol

SFW

-Anxious bean. I relate to him lol

-He’s such a good boyfriend tho, ngl. He’s quiet and soft most of the time, and he’s really attentive to you and good at listening. He’s kind and sweet and treats you well and with respect.

-You’re one of the most important people in his life! You and Mirio! So it probably won’t be strange if you end up befriending the blond too, like, he’s just so easy to get along with and Tama would be so happy if his two favourite people were on good terms.

-Dates are usually pretty low key, going out for quiet lunches or to niche places that aren’t usually densely populated. Sometimes you guys will go to the mall to shop around, but that’s more rare. He prefers quieter and more intimate places, where he can talk to you and spend time with you.

-Once you guys move into the dorms, it becomes a little harder to go on actual dates, so you have to make the most of it. Study dates, video game dates, just hanging out in the same room and doing your own things dates, walks around the gardens, picnics under a tree on the weekends. Sometimes even training!

-You guys probably have sleepovers a lot, where you cuddle up in a mound of pillows and watch crappy movies. Bonus points if it’s a scary movie! Creepy stuff doesn’t really bother him, but the jumpscares always get him, even if they’re obvious. He has to hide his face in your shoulder for several minutes after one happens, which means it’s optimal for cuddling.

-Absolute cuddle bug. He’s kind of nervous about physical contact at first, but once you ease into it in small increments, it becomes really important to him. Catch him out there with his arm around your waist or your hands linked together, hugs and cheek kisses before class. Even on the weekends, he’ll come to your room and flop on your bed, looking at your with puppy eyes until you come over and lay beside him and let him hold you.

-He’s not huuuuge on graphic PDA, and wouldn’t do anything scandalous in public, but he likes having a hand on your or sitting closer than friends would. It might be subtle, but a little piece of him wants everyone to know that you’re taken, and that he’s proud to be seen with you, even if his gestures are small.

-He’s also really good at comfort. If you’ve had a bad day, or are just stressed about something, he’ll let you talk to him about it in detail, and he’ll really listen. Sometimes he’ll give you advice if you want it, sometimes he’ll offer to help you (if it’s something like schoolwork or you’re falling behind in training), other than that, he’ll let you know that he’s a safe place for you to come to and be heard.

-If you’ve also got some kind of anxiety, and aren’t able to do something, his own fears are suddenly less strong. Like, he understands what it’s like, and he wants you to be able to get what you need, so he’ll put up with his fears for your sake. Even if you both have to go home and lay down after and complain to each other about how much anxiety sucks.

-Once he’s comfy around you, he comes out of his shell big time. He’s still quiet, but at the same time he’s the friend who never shuts up once you get to know them. When it’s just the two of you, or you and Mirio, he’s always saying something about something, telling you about his day, asking about yours, wondering your opinions on things. It really shows how much he trusts you.

-Make sure you tell him you’re proud of him, and be genuine about it! Praise him for things he’s accomplished in spite of his anxiety, and tell him what you love about him. Hearing those things out loud from someone whose opinion he values really means a lot to him, and silently tells him that you see him and see how hard he works.

NSFW

-Like casual affection, sex if a thing you gotta work up to, and slowly. He’s super nervous at first, because he really has no idea what he’s doing and he’s too shy to look it up, but he really wants it to be good for you too.

-He knows like, the basics of how it works, he’s not completely clueless. He just doesn’t know the intricacies or tells of your body. You’ll have to be really verbal and honest with him about how he makes you feel. It’ll prove to him that he’s making you feel good, and also rile him up. 

-The first few times you guys sleep together, it’s kind of messy and he’s embarrassed as hell and neither of you last very long. There’s probably some awkward moments where one of you makes a weird sound and you both burst out in giggles, or one of you gets a cramp at the worst time.

-But you guys keep trying, because he really loves how close he feels to you during those moments, both physically and emotionally. Plus it’s just fun, y’know? It passes the time, it’s a good workout, and you guys get to learn even more about each other.

-It’s not for a while that you learn he’s got a more dominant streak sometimes. Most of the time it’s a pretty equal playing field, with both of you giving and taking and asking and demanding, but sometimes he’s had a rough day, or he’s just feeling particularly bold or lustful.

-He won’t order you around too much, but he’ll definitely make suggestions or what he’d like you to do, and imply that if you do it you’ll get a reward. As if doing as he says isn’t reward enough. He’ll definitely be more vocal during those times, saying filthy things to you and telling you how good you look on your knees/wrapped around him/etc.

-And he always makes sure to reward you when you do good.

-He’s not so big into negative or super painful punishments if you defy him. Like, he doesn’t want to leave you crying, even if that’s something you want, I just can’t see him wanting to genuinely hurt you that much. He still has a soft and tender heart.

-But say....he tells you not to come, or not to touch yourself, and you do it anyways, then he’ll turn your rewards into a punishment. Like oh, you want to come? Okay, he’ll give you as many orgasms as you want and then some, until you’re overstimulated and begging for him to stop. He won’t stop, unless you safeword him, or until he’s satisfied you’ve learned your lesson.

-He’s not opposed to light painful punishments though, like spanking you until your ass is sore and making you count each smack for him, or putting little heart shaped clamps on your nipples to make them super sensitive, or holding a vibrator against you while he curls his fingers inside you, only to pull it away at the last second and leave you hanging.

-Ngl it’s kind of hot when he gets confident, and having him control you a little bit makes you needy. For rewards? For punishments? Who knows, but he’s happy to dish them both out depending on how you behave.

-No matter what kind of sex you guys have though, aftercare is always important to him. Cleaning each other up, cozying up together in bed, sharing pillowtalk and soft touches and gentle smiles. He just really needs some kind of emotional intimacy to go along with the act, whether it’s during or after the fact. He wants to make sure you know that he loves you a lot (as if him treating you like an angel didn’t already show you).

[prompts-for-the-otp]

Prompt 176

Person A and B are in a boy band/girl group/ a good ol’ band. After numerous rehearsals, live shows, and initimate pillowtalks together, they find themselves falling for each other.

Unfortunately, they know that if they do end up dating at this point in their careers, it would just cause scandal and gossip that would overshadow everything they do. As a result, neither of them says anything about their feelings and they become cold to each other to ease the pain of not being able to be together.

One day, Person A decides that enough is enough and that they want to be Person B. On their way to go see B, they get into an accident.

Their words are left unspoken, mutual yet unrequited.

[bakagamieru]

At the end of 2015, One Direction fans around the world were feeling sad and uncertain. It was the beginning of One Direction’s hiatus, and while the guys claimed it would only be an 18-month break, Directioners had a sinking feeling that there wasn’t actually a plan for the guys to come back together in the foreseeable future.

Shortly after that, Zayn Malik (who left the group on March 25, 2015) delivered the first of many One Direction solo projects with the sultry and (scandalous) “Pillowtalk” on Jan. 26, 2016. Although he was already not part of the group, it was the first time fans heard a 1Der do his own thing — and it was just the beginning.

A year and a half later, all five One Direction guys (Malik, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne) have released solo material, with Horan becoming the third to release a full-length album, Flicker, this Friday (Oct. 20) -- also the same day that Payne released his second official single, “Bedroom Floor.”

When they were a unit, the quintet was able to go in, well, one direction musically. But since they've been given the individual freedom to try whatever genre they wanted, it's been evident that they actually all had very different aspirations for the kind of music they wanted to make — or at least where their voices best fit, whether it's R&B or classic rock.

The first indication of where the guys wanted to take their careers genre-wise occurred before 1D was even a thing, when they each auditioned for The X Factor UK in 2010. As Billboard previously pointed out, their audition songs were comparable to the music they're making on their own -- and without the voices or even just opinions of four other members, each guy has really been able to hone in on their specific sounds and skills.

Inherently, all five still carry a pop influence in their music, but have each found a unique lane. Here’s how all five members have ultimately found their own direction.

Zayn Malik — R&B

Although Malik’s early departure from the group hinted that his music would also be a departure from the pop-rock hits One Direction became known for, the booming bass and NSFW lyrics (like "In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day/ Fucking and fighting" of his debut single "Pillowtalk" made it very clear that his PG-related days were over. And while Malik’s voice worked flawlessly for the belt-out moments of a 1D classic, doing things his own way resulted on his debut album Mind of Mine in an edge we hadn’t ever seen from him before, especially on the scornful “BeFoUr” and the haunting “iT’s YoU."

Since Mind of Mine, Malik has collaborated with Taylor Swift, PartyNextDoor and Sia, each of whom has allowed him to flex his falsetto, as well as try out different sounds, like the tropical vibe on the PND team-up “Still Got Time.” His most recent release “Dusk Til Dawn” (with Sia) has a building melody and booming chorus that makes for perhaps Malik’s most dynamic release yet, also further showing that pop-influenced R&B is where his voice was meant to be from the start.

Niall Horan — Singer/songwriter

Horan was the most soft-spoken member of One Direction, with his solos providing a sweet, soothing balance to Malik and Styles’ power moments. He honed in on the pleasantness of his voice with his solo debut single, “This Town,” an entirely acoustic track that highlighted just how pure his vocals can be -- and with his new album, Flicker, he ran with that simplicity.

Putting soft guitar behind a voice like Horan’s is exactly the way to help him shine, especially when it involves heartfelt lyrics like "I forget you're not here when I close my eyes/ Do you still think of me sometimes?” Horan has stuck with 1D producer Julian Bunetta for his solo material, which has really helped him highlight the best parts of his voice. But while there are other slow melodies like “This Town” on Flicker (the title track, as well as album-enders “Fire Away” and “You and Me”), there’s also plenty of riskier digressions like the sexy “Slow Hands” — which earned Horan his first No. 1 on the Pop Songs chart — and the country-tinged Maren Morris collaboration “Seeing Blind."

Upbeat tracks like “Since We’re Alone” make it pretty safe to argue that Horan has stayed closest to the wholesome One Direction vibe, especially the material on the group's latter two albums. But rather than trying to achieve every special moment 1D had, Horan has stuck with a tone he can really drive home, creating special moments of his own.

Louis Tomlinson — EDM-pop

Less than two months after Horan surprise-dropped “This Town,” Tomlinson revealed a Steve Aoki collaboration, “Just Hold On” — a song that was almost even more unexpected, simply because EDM was a genre One Direction had never even waded into in their five years. Like Horan, Tomlinson has a bit of a softer tone to his voice, but also has the capability to belt when he wants. His voice pretty seamlessly intertwined with an electronic topline melody on “Just Hold On," and passionate screams in the chorus also allowed him to show off a little.

Tomlinson carried the electronic influence with him on his second single, “Back To You,” enlisting Digital Farm Animals to produce and frequent dance collaborator Bebe Rexha to split vocals. The production is a little more stripped back than Aoki’s thumping track, with the bouncy beat helping to bring more attention to Tomlinson’s voice. He finally got the full spotlight on his most recent release, “Just Like You,” which meets his previous two singles in the middle, showcasing his vocal smoothness over an electro-pop bass line (or drop) — and that that’s where he feels most comfortable musically, at least for now.

Harry Styles — Classic rock

Any Mick Jagger comparisons Styles may have faced during the One Direction era have basically come to fruition, since he debuted with the poignant power ballad “Sign of the Times” back in April. The rock ballad spawned plenty of other classic comparisons, with the climb of the chorus mirroring David Bowie’s “Life on Mars” and Styles’ wailing finale bringing Foreigner’s "I Want to Know What Love Is” to mind. As mentioned, Styles and Malik were the two primary power-moment 1D guys -- and Styles hasn't lost that prowess in his own music, but now it's set to heavier guitar that he matches with vocals more risqué than he attempted in the 1D days.

Harry's self-titled album brings both his vocals and vintage instrumentation to the forefront, yet it feels less kitschy and more raw than any such One Direction track. The classic rock sound makes it possible for him to be more fearless in his delivery, which is displayed in feistier tracks like the thrashing "Kiwi", and more intimate feels like those in acoustic opener "Meet Me in the Hallway." Styles was always a standout vocalist in One Direction, but the rough-around-the-edges sound of his solo material almost feels like he has been reborn into another era -- one he was always supposed to be part of.

And to top off the vocals, Styles sports some seriously rock star suits while performing. Talk about owning the rock vibes.

Liam Payne — Hip-pop

Unlike Tomlinson’s trio of EDM-influenced pop hits, Payne’s three releases are all rather different, so it's hard to tell exactly which direction Payne is going to take musically. But if he wants to use the metrics of his debut single “Strip That Down” to gauge where he should go from his first release, the hip-hop/pop crossover feel isn’t necessarily a bad lane. The Quavo-featuring track recently took over Horan's "Slow Hands" for the top spot on the Pop Songs chart, proving that going in a racier direction both lyrically and musically was definitely not a bad thing for Liam.

"You know, I used to be in 1D (now I'm out, free)/ People want me for one thing (that's not me)/ I'm not changing, the way, that I (used to be),” Payne sings in “Strip That Down” — and actually, the 24-year-old’s subsequent releases hold true to that sentiment. While “Strip That Down” was a bold move into a more hip-hop sound, Payne dabbled in dance on the Zedd team-up “Get Low” and most recent single “Bedroom Floor” highlights his falsetto through a combination of pop, EDM and hip-hop. Payne has the most eclectic solo repertoire so far, and with his malleable vocals, he’s been able to experiment with where his sound best fits. As for where he’ll end up overall, we’ll wait and see, but clearly he’s doing things right for now.

If there’s one thing that the One Direction solo endeavors have done for all five guys, it’s reminding the world that they’re each individually talented in their own right, and there’s a reason they were all part of one of the most successful boy bands of all time. Sure, a group full of young, adorable British men is a big sell in its itself, but it’s ultimately the guys' voices that won people over -- and now, they’re each getting a chance to do what they want with their talents, with their individual styles remaining distinct enough that they really can each have their own direction.

Pillowtalk | Blair & Shion

For @mpxshion

She lay sprawled in bed, her bare legs tangled in her sheets and dark hair pulled into a haphazard ponytail. It was one of the few moments when Blair was completely herself - no makeup, no real desire to hide herself - and it was all thanks to Shion. There were few people that she considered close friends, but the demi-god was certainly one of them; although their friendship had been tumultuous and somewhat scandalous at times, they had grown intimate in many more ways than that. “I should have bought another bag of chips,” she complained, shoving a rather large piece into her mouth, “But now I can’t get anymore because that would require putting my pants back on, and I refuse.”

It was late already, well past midnight, and the two friends were still snacking and talking - if past experiences were anything to go by, they were unlikely to be sleeping at all that night.

[soloziamwillbetheendofme]

Your tags!!! Mind of mine is so much more than just about sex!

Exactly Nonnie.

There’s only few songs about sex in my opinion : PillowTalk, TiO, She don’t love me, Wrong. That’s only 4 out of 20 (Deluxe Edition). And they’re not only about that.The other songs about love, falling out of love, betrayal, fame, and all his personal struggles. So what are people talking about? Why focusing on that theme only?

I feel like, even though his team may want to distance him from the boy band image, it’s also a way of tarnishing his rep and belittling his creative capabilities. How many people said they wouldn’t listen to his album because of that? I feel like his team went too far with this narrative. And he deserves so much better cause he’s so smart, and thoughtful and his songswriting skills are impressiv. His lyrics are more complex and deep than he’s given credit for and I want the whole world to know that.

My baby is not obsessed with sex. His songs are about what he experienced during all these years and couldn’t talk about while in the band. But of course you have to look, and not that deep, into the lyrics to understand that. And some people just won’t bother because they always thought he was trash. And the idea that he only sings about sex, coupled with the cheating scandal narratives, just fits with their opinion of him. What pisses me off is that interviewer following that narrative.

Thanks for the ask Nonnie and have a nice day
