"Well how else am I supposed to survive on my own in this unlivable economy?!? Food costs as much as the utility bills, and health insurance costs more than rent! I'd have to work 2 full-time jobs and share a 1 bedroom apartment with 5 other people to cover the cost of living with minimum wage this low! What does your 'book of wisdom' say about that? Does it have any REAL solutions in it, or is it just a how-to guide to increasing the poverty gap?"
The elder stepped forward slowly. In one hand, his crooked staff, in the other, the book of wisdom. “Hunters do not harvest. Harvesters do not heal. Healers do not hunt. You have broken the great tradition. Explain yourself.”

re: hurricane helene hey, y'all. so... immense survivor's guilt, subsequent depression and an overall helpless malaise has made my presence on tumblr here weaker during this horrific time. but there's nothing like some good ol appalachian rage to light a fire under the proverbial ass so i'm back to push back on some of the bullshit i keep seeing get spread about what's happening in the aftermath of hurricane helene, and in western north carolina especially.
appalachia has always been low hanging fruit for the rest of the nation, and now that disaster has struck and we are even more vulnerable than we have been in a long, long time, bad actors are using us as a way to further their political bullshit and conspiracies.
please use some of the cited-information below the cut to push back on and educate any family members, friends or otherwise when you see them spreading misinformation. now is your chance to help appalachia, no matter where you are in the united states. myths, rumors and other flavors of horseshit regarding hurricane helene debunked under the cut. please reblog.
Let me just get my heart out of the way before we get into the nitty gritty, cause I got things to say. #1: "Why should we help these people? They get these storms there all the time. They didn't move away or do anything to prepare for this, and now it's our responsibility?"
These storms are not at all commonplace. For much of this area, especially WNC, this level of flooding and damage--spanning an area the size of Belgium between NC and TN--is largely unprecedented. Growing up, we get told our mountains protect us, that they shield us from the really bad, and that's because historically, they have. Hurricanes blow through, and they bring with them hella wind and rain, but nothing like this.
We do not have the infrastructure for this, physical or otherwise. So many of our homes, businesses and everything in between have been standing for more than a century, unkept and brittle. Dams are breaking or near breaking because they are not meant to hold this kind of water. Our roads tend to follow creeks and rivers and thereby have been completely washed out. Keep in mind that in the individual hollers, and in most of these small mountain towns, we only got one road. You go up holler one way, and you don't come out the other side of it; you leave the way you came because it's the only path to take.
We are not built for this. We were not ready for this. We could not have prepared for this. And even if by some miracle we all received some premonition about this disaster, telling us to "just move" is NEVER the answer to vulnerable people living in volatile environments, especially ones as impoverished as Appalachia. Fuck you.
#2 "Appalachians are lazy and just want handouts, anyway."
First off--which one is it? Are we poor, pitiful fodder for concern trolls who deserve more than we're getting, or are we lazy, needy, greedy people who deserve to rot? Can't have both.
Second off--we been hearing that about us since the dawn of time. Wasn't true then, ain't true now.
Appalachia has been verifiably exploited as long as there have been people to exploit, but that is a topic long since discussed here.
We don't WANT anything. We NEED it. Alongside the aid coming in through donations, official search and rescue and organized volunteer services, much of the boots on the ground are Appalachians themselves!! We take care of our own, and it's always been that way.
They got people on foot hiking up into the hollers to bring supplies to cut-off communities. They got pack mules passing otherwise impassable roads where no car nor other vehicle can tread to get lifesaving necessities to the hollers. Look around, and you'll find countless stories. Just in my personal circle alone, I got a sister bringing supplies up by foot, and her hiking group is moving through so much toxic mud that the soles of their fucking boots are melting. I got a brother in law taking chainsaws to downed trees to clear the path for supply deliveries. I got another sister meeting friends of mine at the state line to collect donations and distribute them by hand to counties all over WNC. We can do this, but we can't do it alone.
#3 "It's a conspiracy/It's not that widespread outside of Asheville because we don't see pictures of anywhere else."
It's happening. It's fucking happening.
You don't see pictures because many of us don't have reliable cell service right now, let alone wifi. Hell, even in perfect weather there's a joke that you better have a friend with a cell phone from each provider when you go out because only one of you is getting service at any given time in any given place. There is no way to document this from the inside for many folks at this point in time, and there is NO WAY IN from the outside.
As I mentioned--you got one road leading up the holler. That road is now gone. No one is making it up the mountain to take pictures of these horrific scenes, y'all. If they're going up the mountain its to care for their neighbors, to bring supplies to individuals and entire communities so isolated by the devastation that the only way they can be reached is on foot (or hoof!).
Which also brings me to my next counterargument: "Nothing is being done to help."
#4 "Volunteers are being turned away/Donations are being confiscated."
Volunteers are being DISCOURAGED from coming in out of state, but they're not being told to leave with a malicious intent. And they are not even being forcibly denied. They can still come, but it's really not a good idea. As I mentioned, these roads wasn't meant to take this kind of damage. They are falling apart, and all this extra traffic coming in on these streets barely hanging on is making them worse and making it harder for organized relief and rescue operations to actually get in there. People are getting stuck and taking away time and resources that could be going to survivors. Outsiders with good intentions are eating up the scarce gas and using up even scarcer water. Some of these places, like Black Mountain, physically do not have enough hands to manage and distribute the amount of donations being brought in in, so they're getting rerouted. Donations are not fucking being confiscated.
#5 "They aren't letting people be rescued/They're closing the airspace off."
The airspace is OPEN, with some temporary restrictions in place by the FAA for civilians and volunteers. Civilians can still access airspace in coordination with officials and emergency responders. What they ain't allowing is people just flying in willy nilly. What they ain't letting in is unauthorized air traffic that is clogging up airspace which otherwise needs to be used by official aircraft to bring in donations/S&R groups. Airspace is still accessible in the area, but it's not safe to just have everyone with a big heart trying to search and rescue, especially with no training, organization or proper skills. What they ain't letting happen is people trying to take trucks up obliterated roads that can't be traveled, no matter how confident you are in your vehicle. Christ, y'all. The point isn't to add more bodies to the count!
#6 "National Guardsmen are being told not to go."
The National Guard HAS been deployed.
And in numbers, too. What you're hearing is rumor of people asking to be deployed and being told no, because that's not how it works. That's not how any of this works. People can't just rush in unorganized. There is a system. There has always been a system.
#7 "But I saw TikToks of people coming to help and locals shouting them out of town!"
Oh, honey. No, what you saw was people doing what they LOVE to do in Appalachia: take poverty tours. Record how we live. Post their poverty (and now disaster) porn with thoughts and prayers and oh those poor creatures to get likes. That's been happening to us since before TikTok. Before the internet.
During FDR's administration, photographers from the Farm Security Administration went down to collect poverty porn and turn it into Hollow Folk, a collection of photographs which was then used by eugenicists and corporations alike to dehumanize us further so we could be exploited and relocated with the favor of the nation behind them.
We're done with it. We been done with it. And now, in this time of crisis where people are DEAD, you're clogging up our roads, taking up our gas, AND shoving cameras in our face. Y'all ain't from here and now more than ever y'all kinds need to get the FUCK out.
✨ FEMA ✨
FEMA deserves its own section, because holy shit. I'm mad that I'm about to defend the man in any capacity but it needs to be done. So, I'm gonna preface this by saying, largely, fuck FEMA. There are many valid complaints against FEMA and their inefficiency, but right now is not the time to use them as a tool of misinformation against Appalachia. We got enough problems without pouring the salt of government conspiracies into these raw, gaping wounds that barely even have bandaids applied to them right now.
SO. Let's get into it.
#8 "This is all planned and by design/Don't evacuate, because FEMA is just gonna take your land and mineral rights!"
If they wanted the fucking lithium or anything else for that matter, they would just enact Eminent Domain. They don't need elaborate schemes and """weather control""" to take it. They can just literally... do it. Did we all fail civics in middle school?
(And this is purely anecdotal so I have no proof of this, but a friend of mine told me a few days ago people were actually being told NOT to evacuate in Lake Lure because they didn't anticipate the flooding to be this bad.)
What y'all SHOULD be worried about are these companies and their "disaster investors" who swoop in like fucking vultures and try to get people to sell their land before FEMA has a chance to assist them. These companies prey on the vulnerable, offering them quick cash for their land and for far less than they'd get if they held out for FEMA's relief instead.
#9. "But... but FEMA is only giving out a piddly $750 in relief!"
Yes, they are giving out $750. INITIALLY. This $750 is initial relief money for immediate needs. Medicine, food, supplies. It is NOT all that's being allocated to folks. From FEMA's website:
This is a type of assistance that you may be approved for soon after you apply, called Serious Needs Assistance. It is an upfront, flexible payment to help cover essential items like food, water, baby formula, breastfeeding supplies, medication and other emergency supplies. There are other forms of assistance that you may qualify for to receive and Serious Needs Assistance is an initial payment you may receive while FEMA assesses your eligibility for additional funds. As your application continues to be reviewed, you may still receive additional forms of assistance for other needs such as support for temporary housing, personal property and home repair costs.
A service being offered in the meantime, for example, is for temporary housing and you can still currently apply for it!
Long-term disaster relief funds are not being released immediately. That does not mean they do not exist.
Here is what FEMA has already allocated for North Carolina alone.
Please note I said "allocated" but not "paid out." Which brings me to my next point.
#10 "FEMA is giving their relief money to undocumented immigrants!"
This is false, and you can verify this for yourself. Cash payouts to undocumented immigrants isn't even a thing, dude. They haven't even paid out to citizens in their entirety yet. From the FEMA page "Questions and Answers for Undocumented Immigrants Regarding FEMA Assistance:"
This is in regards to STATE, LOCAL AND VOLUNTEER AGENCIES. Not through FEMA or any other federal programs. This is probably what people are hearing about, and not even bothering to look into it before running off to tell lies.
And in this, as you can see--undocumented immigrants who CAN receive assistance are not receiving cash. They are not just getting money handed over to them to spend on whatever your racist, xenophobic uncle thinks they are. FEMA is required by law to report on the use of their funds each month by the 5th day. Historically, it looks like it takes about a week for them to be posted. Keep an eye on this page to see for yourself in coming days that FEMA is not giving out money from their funds to immigrants.
#11 "But FEMA has appointees from Biden!!! How can we trust that this is the truth?!"
Please use critical thinking skills. Please, we beg. Yes, there are appointed FEMA officials from this administration, but there are also appointed officials from Trump's time in office. What sense does it make that during Trump's administration, FEMA employees were Good And Pure, and suddenly, just because they are active under Biden's administration, they are suddenly Evil And Corrupt? This is clear bias and has no solid footing.
Besides, the President doesn't even have any sway over FEMA funding like this. That is ALL congress.
H.R. 9747 "Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025," which provides relief funding (among other things) for the 2025 fiscal year, was ACTIVELY VOTED AGAINST by Republicans, including Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene--two people spreading the bullshit the loudest. UGH. Okay. In exasperated conclusion: Please, please, PLEASE leave Appalachia alone and let us get back on our feet without having to constantly dodge dumbass conspiracy theories. We are heartbroken and grieving and would really appreciate a brief reprieve from being the nation's fucking punching bag. Help us, don't hurt us.

not sure if you’re taking requests buttttt poly!marauders but they’re kinda overprotective bfs and she sneaks out to go to a party with marlene or her girlfriends but they find out and show up at the party 💞
Hi don't worry, I am! I think it should show on the requests page linked in my pinned post, but please let me know if it doesn't, I'm still figuring tumblr out and often mess up! I hope this is alright honey, I tried to go for the angst but honestly the more I write the more suspicious I become of my inability to write our boys being anything other than soft with reader! I'll try to work on it but in the meantime I hope you enjoy this <33
cw: mention of concussion symptoms, including nausea, nothing intense or even very descriptive though
poly!marauders x fem!reader ♡ 906 words
You’re aware that the internet had said you were supposed to avoid bright lights, loud sounds, and movement when Remus had looked it up after an unfortunate fall that morning. Just like you’re aware that when your boyfriends left you at your apartment a few hours ago, they’d been trusting you to follow those instructions. But you’re also aware that the internet had led you all to believe your concussion was mild, and that Marlene only has one birthday a year. Damned if you were going to miss it.
So yeah, you feel a bit queasy as your eyes struggle to track the movement and voices around you, but that’s nothing compared to the contentment of being with your friends. Lily has assigned herself the role of your caretaker, checking that you’re alright every few minutes and shushing anyone who raises their voice too loud around you, and Marlene has attached herself to your side, telling you how much she appreciates you in between beer-scented hiccups.
“And you’re so nice to come tonight,” she’s saying now, brushing her fingers clumsily but sweetly through your hair. “I can’t tell you how much—uh oh.”
You have a premonition of ill fate even before the hair on the back of your neck stands up, and you follow Marelene’s unfocused gaze to the curly-haired boy coming towards you.
“Happy birthday, Marls,” he says, his smile only appearing slightly strained, before he turns to you. “Hey, sweetheart. Let’s go home, yeah?”
“Jamie,” you say quietly, and Lily and Marlene leave the couch to give you as much privacy as a party allows. “What are you doing here?”
“Everyone here’s been posting, and you’re in the background of half the pictures.” His smile slips as he crouches in front of you, disappointment in his eyes. “You know you’re supposed to be resting,” he says softly. “C’mon, let’s go.”
You’re glad that he’s here instead of Remus or Sirius, who surely wouldn’t be as careful about not embarrassing you. James is less stern than the others, and though you feel a bit guilty for doing so, you press that to your advantage.
“I haven’t drank anything but water,” you say. “That’s gotta count for something, right? And look.” You brush your hair behind your ear, showing him the earplugs you’d put in before arriving. “I’m being careful, see? I’m alright, Jamie, and it’s Marlene’s birthday. Let’s just stay, both of us, okay?”
James looks nearly apologetic. “Remus and Sirius are waiting in the car.”
You groan, but allow James to pull you to your feet, waving goodbye to your friends with a pout. He supports more of your weight than you really need him to as he walks you outside, where Remus sits in the drivers’ seat of the idling car. Dread settles, along with dull resignation, in your stomach.
Sirius is in the backseat and you hope James will get in first, but he lifts you in before him, placing you between two of your three upset boyfriends. You can’t look at any of them, allowing James to buckle your seatbelt for you as an oppressive silence, worse than the bass that had brutalized your head inside Marlene’s, stretches out between you.
True to form, Sirius is the first to breach it.
“What the hell were you thinking?”
You sigh. “I’m sorry.”
“You have a concussion! All you had to do was stay home and rest. That website said that lights and loud music—say, the sort of things you’d find at a party—would only make things worse.”
Normally, you’d argue with him. No matter how hopeless it seems, no matter how obvious it is that Sirius is going to win, you can always meet him head-on and at least make your point. But tonight, with your head throbbing and something about your very being feeling fundamentally wrong, you can’t muster up the energy.
“I know,” you say.
Sirius goes silent at the acquiescence in your voice, and he looks at Remus in the rear-view mirror, unsure of how to proceed. James puts a hand on your knee, a tiny gesture of comfort even though he’s upset with you too. The motivation that had driven you to Marlene’s and through the party is wearing off, and you feel suddenly, embarrassingly teary.
“Do you feel sick?” Remus speaks for the first time, and though his voice is calm, the absence of his usual terms of endearment leave no doubt that you’re still in trouble.
You clear your throat of the tears that are trying to clog it. “A little.”
“We’re bringing you to our place to rest.” It’s not a question. “We can go get some things from your place tomorrow, but tonight you can just wear our stuff. Think you can eat something before bed?”
It’s worse that he’s being kind to you. You’d been prepared for a lecture, but being taken care of is worse. It brings the vulnerability you’ve felt since the frightening pain and dizziness of that morning to the surface, and you keep your face turned towards your lap as your eyes become wet. “Yeah, I think so,” you say, and your voice cracks slightly when you add, “I’m sorry.”
Sirius makes a sympathetic, pained sound from beside you, and James abandons all pretense of anger, tucking your head under his chin.
“We’ll talk about it later,” Remus says, a bit more gently. “For now, just try to relax.”

Premonition 🦋
Pairing: Lilia Calderu x fem!reader
Plot: You have a terrible premonition about the person you love
Warnings: angst maybe but comfort and some fluff wins hihi; premonition of Lilia's death
A/n: Alright fam I'm currently in grief for my wife Lilia and I need some comfort and this was what came to my mind, so please enjoy as much as I do
I woke up frantically gasping for air "LILIA! NO!" I scream from the top of my lungs, tears staining my cheeks. The contact of someone's hands— No, not someone's, Lilia's hands, grabbing my face make me look at her face and the world falls on me.
Sobbing my heart out I lounge my body to hers and hug her tightly, crying my soul out as she says sweet nothing against my ear. Our bodies rock back and forward into a comforting movement, one of her hands holding the back of my head and the other on my lower back, pushing me even closer to her, her face nuzzled into the crook of my neck as mine is against her chest.
As I calm down I slightly pull away and look her in the eyes, ignoring the other members of the coven, probably in distress for seeing the scene before them "Lilia, please don't do it..." I sob with tears still in my eyes.
Lilia looks at me confused with her eyebrows furrowed "Do what?" she asks "Please, I'm begging you- I- I need you." I say between sobs, Lilia seems surprised by my words and so seems the rest of the coven "y/n what's going on? What did you see?" Agatha asks a little frightened cause she knows my premonitions weren't a good thing.
The premonition flashes through my mind again and I tightly close my eyes as I shake my head "No- NO! Please, make it stop!" I sob gripping Lilia's hands which were now on my face trying to stop my movements "Guys what do we do?" Alice asks, concern evident in her tone and her question directed more specifically to Agatha and Lilia than to the whole coven.
Lilia looks at Alice and then at Agatha, the later masking her distress and concern by shrugging her shoulders "We can't do anything about it. So we wait." she says, making the others groan and sigh as Lilia refocus on me again. She leans in and lays her forehead against mine making me open my frantic eyes and look at her concerned ones "Please, please, don't do it- don't leave me. I need you." I whisper, barely audible at the end "Why are you saying this, darling. What did you see?" she asks softly and carefully, I take a deep shaky breath before answering "I saw you falling... Sacrificing yourself..." my voice trembles as I try to say what I saw, she frowns "Please, don't do it, Lilia. Please." I beg her, fear evident in my voice and posture.
Lilia still doesn't understand why I'm begging her, why all the fear, the crying and concern from my side about her, we're good friends, but we knew what the road was when persuaded to go by Agatha, to join her coven "But darling, why are you so afraid of losing me?" she asks "Because I love you." I blurted out making her gasp softly with the impact of the words "Y-you do?" she stutters and I realise what I've just said and try to move away from her, but she won't let me "I'm sorry, Lilia." I say trying to contain the tears of embarrassment and rejection "I hope you're apologising for not telling me that sooner, darling." she says, her voice soft, dripping with tenderness and... Love?
My eyes lock with hers as searching for the answer, then I feel her soft and delicate lips against mine. The whole world disappears and it's only me and Lilia at this moment, our lips move delicately, lovingly, like sharing all the feelings for each other without words, it's... Magic. She pulls away and rests her forehead against mine once again "I love you too and I promise I won't leave you, my darling." she breathes out, brushing against my lips and in that precise moment I knew I didn't need to end the road, my heart was complete, bursting with love for the witch in front of me.

𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐘 𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒; 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒋𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆.
change pronouns, tenses and other details as deemed necessary. & please specify muse when sending to a mumu.
Everything you see in here is either haunted, cursed, or has been used in some kind of ritualistic practice.
There is something... horrible happening in my house.
The Vatican approved the exorcism.
A dark spirit has latched itself to you/[your family] and is feeding off you.
What's the opposite of a miracle, Father?
I'm afraid there is something very wrong with this place.
I can see things that your people can't.
An oppressing spirit will try to force you to commit the ultimate of sins; murder, suicide, or both.
There is a lot of evil in this room.
This one still haunts me.
I’m so afraid this thing wants to hurt us.
There's a lady in a dirty nightgown that I see in my dreams. She's standing in front of my mom's bed.
Look what she made me do!
Oh, my God. A Ouija board?! Have you two been playing with this?
Well, ghosts used to be people. And not all people are bad. So maybe not all ghosts are bad...?
It was the same vision I had seven years ago. I had a premonition of your death.
It's standing right behind you.
Whatever you do, don't stop praying.
The court accepts the existence of God every time a witness swears to tell the truth. I think it's about time they accept the existence of the Devil.
The devil exists. God exists. And for us, as people, our very destiny hinges upon which one we elect to follow.
[Name], this is as close to hell as I ever want to get.
Forgive me, Father, for I am about to sin.
Remember how I told you that an inhuman spirit needs to be invited?
There is one spirit I'm most worried about because it is so hateful.
Diabolical forces are formidable. These forces are eternal, and they exist today.
It said it wants my family dead.
When the music stops, you'll see him in the mirror standing behind you
It scares us just thinking about it.
Our presence here could make things worse.
Help me! It won't let me go!
There are things happening that I can't explain.
An inhuman spirit is something that's never walked the Earth in human form. It's something demonic.
No, I can't feel any presence... just the opposite. I'm not sensing anything at all. My sight is – blocked.
The voice doesn't come from inside me... it comes from behind me, like I'm being used.
I don't know what's worse: the demons or the people who prey on our willingness to believe in them.
The demon in your painting is real.
It wants her. So badly, and it almost has her.
Everything they've experienced has been a manifestation of the demonic.
It said it would kill you if I didn't make them leave.
In my vision he wanted to help me, but he was too afraid... and he kept speaking in a kind of riddle.
Knowing the demon's name gives us power over it and we can cast it out.
We have both seen the same inhuman spirit.
I'm just so tired. I can't sleep here.
Negative entities often feed off emotional distress. They like to kick you when you're down.
All I can sense is their own fear. I can't seem to see beyond that.
It's something inhuman. Something that's taken a blasphemous form to attack my faith.

Hi!! I love love love your writing! Especially your 141!Reader series <3 I don't know if you take requests, but your last post about Simon and baby Joseph made me so angsty and I would love to read more angst from you. Could you please write about Simon thinking 141!Reader was KIA on a mission? Thank you!!!
Anon....who....who hurt you???? I’m kidding 😆 mostly 👀 But for real, this one HURT. Like. OUCH. This man has been through so fucking much…but let’s put him through a bit more 😈😈😈 also, I did very much hurt my own feelings with this one. So I’m thinking we might need a part two reunion because I don’t know if I can leave our Ghosty boy in shambles like this
Drip. Drip. Drip.
The rain patters against the window in a steady rhythm.
Simon watches the fat raindrops roll down the small window pane, one foot anxiously tapping against the concrete floor. He didn’t know why he was called to Price’s office, but there was an ominous charge to the air. Call it a premonition, or maybe an instinct, but he knew in his bones that something was wrong.
The click of the door handle pulls Simon from his thoughts as Price enters the office, a heavy silence filling the air.
“What’s happened?” Simon's voice has a hard edge to it, cutting straight through the bullshit. Watchful eyes appraise every detail of Price’s body language, and Simon notes the deep sunken look of his captain’s eyes accentuated by a somber expression.
Price avoids Simon's gaze, staring down at the oak desktop before him as he takes a seat. The captain wasn’t one to mince words or beat around the bush, but even he was having a hard time wrapping his mind around the situation despite his many years in the service.
Simon's heart hammers in his chest, every second in the unknown feeling like an eternity. This isn’t right, he thinks to himself.
Price steels himself with a deep inhale, pulling his gaze from the desk to face Simon head on, looking past the mask, speaking to the man he knew laid beneath.
“I wanted you to hear this from me, son. You…deserve to hear this from me.”
Simon stops breathing.
With practiced determination, Price continues his speech, having rehearsed the words in his head the entire walk down to his office.
“Reconnaissance mission, Operation Blackout, suffered multiple casualties after a long-range detonation by enemy action. There’s been no contact with the team, and rescue attempts were unsuccessful due to the extensive damage caused by the explosion. All team members are presumed KIA. The official course of action…”
The rest of Price’s speech is drowned out by the dull roar in Simon’s ears; his blood runs cold, his rigid body barely breathing.
This can’t be happening. Not again. Never again.
Simon's thoughts grip him by the heart, squeezing painfully.
I can’t do this again.
He had already lost everyone once. Had built impenetrable walls, designed to protect him from this type of pain.
But you. You and your goddamn charm, and your soft smiles, and your relentless fucking attitude. You broke down those walls brick by brick, made Ghost–no, made Simon– feel more like a man than he had in years. You slipped past his ironclad defenses and took his heart without him even realizing it.
And just when he had finally opened up, just when he had finally convinced himself that maybe he could be happy–that you could be happy together. It all came crashing down.
In the distance, Ghost could hear shouting. A chorus of denials piercing the air, heavy ragged breaths filling the silence between.
A heavy hand fell on Ghost's shoulder and he found himself back in his body, looking up at Price, voice raw.
With a stark realization, Ghost realizes it was him. He was the one shouting, the one gasping for breath.
The world tilted out from under him.
____________
Ghost left Price’s office a different man���a mere shell of the man who entered. With every step he took, he felt himself slipping further and further into the familiar safety of Ghost, an unpierceable facade moving through the world.
Everything felt wrong. Every step. Every breath. He felt like he was moving underwater, every action taking twice the effort it should.
The next few hours pass in a blur. The official order that he was being sent on leave. The ensuing argument with Price over the orders. He eventually just gave up. Leave, no leave, it didn’t fucking matter.
None of it fucking matters.
Johnny tries to see him before he leaves, meeting Simon on the tarmac. He tries to be there for his lieutenant, his friend.
The red rim around Johnny’s eyes reminds Simon that he wasn’t the only one who had lost you. They had all lost you. But even that which should have been a comfort, a sort of kinship in the grief, meant nothing. Simon didn’t give a singular fuck. He turned away from Johnny mid-speech, leaving the Scotsman to sit in his grief alone as he watched Ghost disappear into the aircraft.
____________
It takes every ounce of strength Ghost has to make it through the flight. To make it through the drive back home. To make it through that door.
Keep it together, soldier. Don’t you dare fucking lose it, Simon Riley. Just a bit longer.
His belongings crash to the floor as the door slams shut behind him. He doesn’t even bother turning on the light, instead using the faint glow of the moonlight through the curtains to guide him to the cabinet.
Ghost pulls the bottle of bourbon from its resting spot, not even bothering with a glass as he pulls off the corked top and takes a hearty swig.
The burn of the liquid is invigorating, filling Ghost with a quiet simmering fire.
He takes another drink. And another.
He walks through the flat in a daze, the amber liquid dulling his senses, sending him even deeper into the haze of his grief.
Ghost finds himself in front of his dresser, staring at the wooden drawers.
Taking another drink, he steels himself as he yanks open the top drawer. Rummaging beneath the pile of socks and t-shirts, Ghost digs out the small velvet box. He grips it tight in his hand, the small object groaning in protest as waves of rage and pain overtake Ghost, threatening to pull him under. Hot tears slide down his face, but he doesn’t even notice.
With a roar he throws the velvet box across the room, the impact fracturing the drywall. Ghost’s knees go out from under him and he crashes to the floor, his heart shattering into a thousand pieces. There would be no repairing this. No amount of time could heal this type of heartbreak.
You were dead.
And as far as Ghost was concerned, Simon Riley died with you.

Why not an orange or what was lost again during localization
The first case of Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies (Gyakuten Saiban 5) greets us with the mummy Apollo (Odoroki Hosuke), a panicking Athena (Kizuki Kokone) and the defendant Juniper Woods (Shinobu Morizumi), who treats Athena to an orange to calm her nerves and wish her strength.
What if I told you that there is no orange at all?
これ・・・・差し入れ持ってきたの。 うちの畑で取れた子なんだ。
kore sashiire motte kita no. Uchi no hata de toreta kona nda.
I brought this as a gift. It's from my garden.
あ、ありがとう! えーっと、これはイヨカンかな?
a, arigatō! E ̄ tto, koreha iyokan ka na?
Oh, thank you! Um, is this Iyokan?
うん。・・・・おばあちゃんが言ってたの。
un. O bāchan ga itteta no.
Yeah. ...Grandma told me.
イヨカン食べると、 “いい予感”なんだって。
iyokan taberu to, “ī yokan”na n datte.
Apparently, if you eat iyokan, you get a good feeling.
(やば。わたし、なんでイヨカンを にぎりしめて涙ぐんでるんだろ)
(yaba. Watashi, nande iyo kan o nigirishimete namidagun deru ndaro)
(Oh no! Why am I clutching an iyokan and crying?)
Stop. Iyokan? A good feeling? Let's figure it out.
The iyokan (伊予柑 - Citrus × iyo), also known as anadomikan (穴門みかん) and Gokaku no Iyokan, is a Japanese citrus fruit, similar in appearance to a mandarin orange.
The name "Iyo" was taken from the ancient name of a place in Ehime Prefecture, the Iyo province.
The flesh is slightly sour and more bitter than an orange, but sweeter than a grapefruit.
There is a variation grown into a pentagon shape to promote good luck also giving it another nickname, Gokaku no Iyokan, which translates into "Pentagonal Iyokan"
(which is also very similar to the expression 合格 [goukaku] — to meet the requirements;
試験に合格する. [shiken ni goukaku suru] — to pass (to endure) an exam;)
And what kind of "good feelings" are these?
In Japan, the citrus can be seen during springtime as a seasonal KitKat flavor with messages of "good luck" to students studying for exams on each packet. The name "iyokan" is also a near-homophone for "good feeling" in Japanese, and is used as such in its marketing.
“いい予感”
いい — good, beautiful; kind
予感 (よかん) [yokan] - presentiment; premonition
好感 [koukan] — a good feeling; kind feelings, disposition, sympathy;
___________________________________________
I am not surprised that the original name was lost (even the translator makes an orange out of this word). Although it is a hybrid of tangerine...
The localization successfully changed the meaning of the fruit, adjusting it to an orange. Still, the meaning of orange in Western culture varies - "fertility", "prosperity", "longevity", "strength" etc.
Although, it was possible to leave Juniper's grandmother Japanese, especially considering that the granddaughter learned the meaning of citrus from her. Well, that's my personal opinion.
___________________________________________
Dictionaries and forums helped me again, please don't scold me for shortcomings and mistakes. Just point it out
#ace attorney#gyakuten saiban#dual destinies#athena cykes#kokone kizuki#juniper woods#morizumi shinobu#i said what i said#lost in localization

FOREVERMORE
— ꒰ synopsis ꒱ — in which scaramouche comforts you after a bad day.
— ꒰ word count ꒱ — 1k
— ꒰ genre ꒱ — fluff and angst, hurt -> comfort, gn! reader, established relationship
"you don't have to say anything." his voice, it brought you comfort.
a chime of soft spoken words approached you in the most finest way imaginable, a silver of immediate solace swelling in your heart, "it's okay."
even when your face unconsciously decided to cast a fake shadow over your real, pained expression, scaramouche realized and had promptly ascertained it the moment you walked past the door.
could there be a more farcical comedy?
on the reason how he instantly captured the moment, in the flash of a second, when you greeted him with that knock-off happy smile of yours or the gestures one should never make when untroubled.
because you didn't mean to show any low spirited countenances in front of your boyfriend in the first place, not tonight, not when you were actually looking forward to dedicate some much required vital time with him.
yet the illusion you had obscured in your mind— in which you drifted through it head first, the same one that repeated, 'it is okay' - 'everything is fine', was in the end, nothing but a misted mirage of a desirous fantasy you constructed in your brain.
that damned emotions, how much you loathed them— you could almost laugh at the discomfort it brought to you.
they ceased your ability to speak out clear, to exist, how they began to tie together your muscles starting from your throat— to your stomach until capturing your entire body, it is terminal, trapping you from within your own negative reactions.
and you're screaming— could no one hear? of course not, you sobbed from deep inside, depleted heaves coming short in the hollow of your quivering throat.
scaramouche held you close and felt your scorching heart reverberate under your ribs, it had him petrified, an indistinct crinkle of his brow manifesting whenever he appeared distressed.
could he be even of help to you? he of all people.
it ponderously burned through his skin, that specific thought, exuded into him, he was scared, so so scared he ached to cry.
because what if he were to lose you?
now, you were squished together into his warm chest even greater while you were resting your head on top, a couple blankets were leisurely tossed over you both and adequately enmeshing your frame while maintaining your regular warmth.
he lowered his head with a gentle prodding and looks at you.
a sob rose from your throat, one that didn‘t exclusively ache in your soul but your entire body when you catch his eyes, solemnized by a pining melody of silent cries but you didn't say anything specifically— resigning sad, muddled lines into his frame.
you felt exposed even though you shouldn't. your premonition transpiring dark.
scaramouche was clutching onto you as if you were of incalculable value, carved by the most fragile materials in this world, one that had to be taken care of with paramount caution— his appeasing touch glissading from your shoulder to your hand, up and down.
he listened to whatever you had to say, made sure he's perceptive enough so you would be certain that he's there with you right now, by your side.
while he didn't let you see it for yourself, it brought a sharp pang to his heart whenever you were feeling this way and worst, most of the times he could do nothing about it.
because if scaramouche could, he‘d give up his own life to make you happy again.
"you don't deserve this." he decided to mumble out against his own volition, attentively twisting his hand into your own, "not you." he sighs, his voice was heavy of emotion, a subtle— yet trembling heave parting from his lips.
"and i'll beat up whoever made you feel this way."
as bizarre as it sounded, you couldn't help yourself but snicker out loud at his sudden unusual declaration— though your laughs were remained broken, juddering with unhappy sobs.
"please don't." you swallowed down the lump which had formed in your throat before, silently wishing he would.
with a hand on his chest, you lightly pulled yourself up, just a bit, to be able to look at him, inaudibly blinking away the growing tears in your eyes and leaving them to dart down your blistering cheeks.
it‘s not like he hasn‘t seen you cry before but tonight was unalike, it was far more difficult to keep your facade upright.
you greatly crumbled once he laid his hand on your cheek to pull you close, his eyes flickering with nothing but a blooming love for you. "can i kiss you?" each of his words were slowed down, but all remained conducted by a smile.
"of course." you idly responded, bringing yourself to smile for him, tucking yourself closer into his arms as the tranquil touch of his lips brought a short lived ephemeral solace to you.
his warm tongue glided across your bottom lip and your hands slid up his shoulders unhurriedly, a racing pulse pumping in your wrists when you remained in this scene for a while.
in a trail of every following kiss, you cried with each other, twisting under the white sheets.
the remote coldness of your body, it had soon dwindled just a little bit, appearing with a healing glitter, wilting into you. Scaramouche gazed up from under his dark lashes as he watched you smile, casting a brilliant light on the blurred room.
you didn‘t have to be happy or pretend it to be, he’d never demand such ridiculous fidelities from you, it was a huge accomplishment to him to have you smile.
and in the end, you had fallen asleep deeply coiled together in each others enfolds, your tears were now nothing but a trace, drying up and sticking to your cheeks.
most profoundly, you were healing yourself but not alone, because there was someone with you who had helped you chase away the darkness into the hidden distance.
the once lonely night nothing but a fleeting memory when you carried on to slumber against your boyfriends chest.

I have come to confess for sinful Sunday that I have heirophilia, and I have it bad, and as much as I love religious imagery, I also love the thought of demons who play as false priests or saviors. If there was anything I could ask for, more than anything, could we get some Sekido x fem reader where he degrades and yells at the reader to repent for their sinful lust even though he's obviously the one who's been fucking them while they prayed for mercy?
SINFUL SUNDAY
Warnings: non-con, hierophilia
A sense of unease settles upon you as you enter the church, greeted not by the familiar warmth of a congregation but by an eerie emptiness. The air carries only a faint hint of iron, and an unsettling stillness replaces the usual harmonious chorus of communal hymns. A glimpse near the entrance hints at something amiss – perhaps blood, though uncertainty veils your perception. The ordinary atmosphere, once brimming with the warmth of community and shared songs, now feels cold and distant, shrouded in an unspoken disquiet.
Abruptly, a towering presence advanced from the confessionary. "How may I assist you, my dear child?"
Your uncertainty lingers, but you muster a response, "I came for a confession, but… isn't the mass supposed to be happening now?"
The figure, a man with dark hair, smiles as he draws nearer. "We've adjusted the schedule. Nevertheless, I'm here to help. Follow me, my child."
A furrow forms on your brow as you observe him guiding you to a different section of the church, revealing the rectory where priests reside between masses.
As the door shuts behind you, a chilling shiver races up and down your spine - a premonition that danger lurks right behind your back.
Sekido, the false priest, clad in the vestiges of religious garb, becomes the harbinger of damnation. "You need to repent for your lust, I can smell it lingering on you, little sheep."
Torn garments leave you exposed, and you frantically attempt to shield yourself, using your hands and tightly pressing your thighs together in a desperate bid for modesty. "Please, Father, please let me go..."
Sekido's lips curl into a sly smirk in response to your pleas. "I am not a Father, but for you, my dear child, I can certainly play the role of a daddy."
He picks you up easily and throws you onto a tiny bed standing near the beautiful stained glass window.
Laying on the bed, you feel the sting of his firm hand on the meat of your ass, on and on, each spank punctuated by a low growl of Sekido. His commanding voice reverberates, demanding, "Confess your sins, woman! I insist on hearing your confessions!"
You plead with him, your voice a fragile murmur, "Please, please, release me…"
Sekido, in his relentless resolve, dismisses your entreaties, administering a more forceful spank to your exposed flesh, leaving a red mark in a shape of his hand there. "You're destined for damnation, the gates of heaven shall forever elude your grasp."
Tears stream down your face, a silent plea for mercy, as you desperately attempt to crawl away. The disconcerting sound of a zipper being undone reverberates through the air, accompanied by the subtle rustling of fabric, signaling the descent of his obsidian pants.
Before you realize it, the crimson, swollen tip of his dick teases against the tender entrance of your ass.
A sharp cry escapes your lips, a melody of anguish, as he thrusts into you unyieldingly, affording no respite for your senses to acclimate. The relentless intrusion establishes a vigorous, unrelenting rhythm, each forceful thrust sending tremors of intensity through your form as you cry and scream, suffocating on your own tears.
Sekido seizes a handful of your hair, yanking your head back, causing your back to arch in response to his forceful advance. As he pushes deep into you, his balls resting against your ass, he leans forward, his voice a sultry whisper against your ear, "You relish the intensity, don't you? I can see you do, your breath quickening like a bitch in heat. You like the demon's cock splitting you open, yeah, woman?"
The agony courses through you, pushing you to the brink of unconsciousness, while an unfamiliar heat simmers in the depths of your abdomen.
Sekido releases his climax inside you, a guttural groan escaping his lips, accompanied by a triumphant exclamation, "Yes! Yes! Take it, bitch, take it all!"
The scarlet-eyed demon departs, leaving you sprawled on the bed, your consciousness wavering, tears marking your face.
Sekido adjusts his trousers, offering gentle pats to the now reddened flesh on your ass. "You did well. Your next confession awaits this Sunday, remember to grace the damn chapel with your presence."

Everyone on, or well, from Evo has feathers on their ears.
It's expected for Grian and Jimmy as bird Hybrids, Avians, but the others definitely get looks once people realize they all have them despite the lack of Avian traits, it's easy to realize it's a weird thing when they all have them despite all odds of genetics or luck.
Nobody will ever know the panic the members went through, both the ones the reconnected and the ones that scattered to the winds, when they first came in before they got Out. That the feathered ears (and for some, in other places too), actually predated Jimmy and Grian presenting as Avians so many years later.
That the others, before Grian knew they were alive, before they knew Grian was alive, held with bated breath until Pearl presented into a Moth hybrid of all things. So it wasn't a premonition of a change to come…. But then they didn't really know what it was then, other than a reminder, or maybe just a marker of what they all went through.
Later, when Grian is informed his players have been found and alive and there's tears and fights and screaming and hugs that bruise, they will notice the wings, and he will notice their lack of and the feathers that are still there, and they will talk, but nothing will come of it.
And if later, during SMP's and Life series, if someone questions their feathers, they will all exchange secretive, searching looks with each other before saying It's nothing important.
If you ask Grian he'll look off into the distance with a plastic smile and say it was a side effect of something from a while back, and will change the conversation, but if you're observant you will see the sliver of guilt that haunts him.
If you ask Jimmy he'll clam up and stutter but will just say he doesn't know, that he's an avian, but maybe it's a confidence of genetics, who knew really? Before distracting and distancing himself from the topic.
If you ask Pearl she'll stop and stare with suddenly cold eyes and say with a polite, smiling voice that's all teeth that says that's sort of rude, isn't it? Her tone will be harsh or teasing depending on who asks and how much she cares about them, but her eyes will still be cold, and her words pointed that she will not be answering.
If you ask Martyn, he'll freeze for just a second before his face darkens, even if his tone is light or aloof. He'll say that's a story for a different day (one that will never come) but say that there was an… incident awhile back, and it left its mark, and that's it really.
If you ask BigB, he'll spout something different every time. His face never wavers, his smile never dips, his tone light and teasing, his words are confusing and lead you in circles of the story, until later you realize nothing he said made much sense, and confused on how he seemed so truthful despite the fact he was obviously lying.
As for the other survivors of Evo, well, they disappeared into the winds the moment they got Out, and nobody makes connections with them because why would they? They have no clue they aren't just normal people who just happen to have feathers on their ears, with nobody to compare or connect to.
And the Truth? The Truth is something they will likely never tell, events and secrets kept close to their chest because they're trying to move on and the feathers, while a reminder, don't mean anything more than that to them. After all, they just grow back, so it's easier to just let the pain they cause fade.
After all, Evo left its mark in many more ways in one for the players trapped there for however long, and the feathers are honestly small potatoes compared to their other scars, both mental and physical.
If you are going to interact, please Reblog instead of Like. Likes do nothing! I appreciate it <3
#hermitcraft#empires smp#evo smp#evolution smp#grian#jimmy solidarity#pearlescentmoon#martyn inthelittlewood#bigb#headcanons#aus#mine#this was just a fun exercise#to get me back in the habbit of posting stuff#and also#this is inspired from an animatic called#Watcher Tell me so I say#by Solarock on YT

(Genshin Impact/GFL/ToCS) Eula, Lumine, Jean, Sara, Lisa, AK-15, AK-12, Duvalie, and Sharon makeout HC's
I'd find a better way to segue into why I'm writing this, but I'll just keep it real with ya'll:
NSFT Implications (obviously)
Eula had not gotten a moment alone with S/O in quite some time. They were both busy, but this transgression would not be forgiven so easily.
What starts off as a simple few kisses slowly turns into something more passionate.
Eula's grip on her S/O starts to tighten as she wraps her hands around their waist and drags them closer.
She makes no mention of her increased heartrate or flushed face, focusing on only S/O's lips.
Pulling back for a moment so they can catch their breaths, she holds their face with both her hands for a brief moment.
(Eula) "You'll not escape this act of revenge, S/O."
She crashes her lips back into theirs far more forcefully as the two tilt their heads to a more comfortable angle.
And when she feels their tongue brush across her mouth, Eula's own tongue meets S/O's.
Although it's not obvious, Eula feels terribly shy throughout their kissing. Hopefully, she didn't come across too strong, but they've made no mention of it so far.
Her worries go unvoiced as the two lay onto the couch and resume their kissing as they hold onto one another.
Lumine happily gave a quick peck to S/O's lips as soon as she returned home.
The two giggled before S/O returned her kiss with another one.
And then another.
Paimon, receiving a quite yucky premonition, decided it'd be best for her to haul ass at her earliest convenience out of the room.
Lumine quickly locked the bedroom door behind her and resumed pressing her mouth into her S/O's, their giggles being replaced with more intense breathing.
(Lumine) "Come closer, please..."
Lumine's arms wrapped around S/O's neck due to her being shorter but had the strength to keep pulling them into her.
Her eyes stay shut and focuses solely on the feeling of S/O's taste as she pushes them gently against the wall.
Her arms slowly slide down to S/O's hands as she makes them hold her even tighter.
Lumine had originally planned to tell S/O how much she missed them, but this probably did the job better than her words.
Sara went stiff upon feeling S/O kiss her cheek.
Her hand instinctively reached the spot they kissed as she began to blush.
S/O kissed her again, this time on the lips and far more slowly, which Sara closed her eyes for.
She felt very strange, not knowing what to do and how to deal with these feelings boiling inside of her. She wasn't used to being so...vulnerable.
When S/O tried to pull away, Sara leaned further in and let the kiss continue for longer. She only pulled away for a second before going in for the kiss again, brushing her hair out the way.
Sara put both her knees around S/O's waist as her hands sat on their shoulders, going for a deeper kiss.
She had no idea what was overtaking her, all Sara knew is that she wanted more.
S/O opened their mouth to say something, but Sara put a finger on her lips before they could.
(Sara) "Don't...Don't say anything. Just stay like this..."
She was never great with her words anyway, it was her actions that did the speaking.
And though her lips were moving, she said not a word after that.
Jean's heart began to pound the moment S/O's hand rested upon her face.
She wasn't quite sure what to do until S/O went in for a kiss. She'd have been more shy, but thankfully, they were at home. Which meant some of her anxiety wasn't present.
Jean didn't resist when S/O continued to kiss her, even when they gently pushed her down further into the couch, she didn't protest.
S/O's kisses were beginning to make her mind blank, and only when she involuntarily moaned into S/O's mouth did she quickly jolt up.
(Jean) "i-I apologize. Did I make things...Um...-"
She was cut off with S/O kissing her again, but when she felt her hands squeezed in reassurance, all her doubts soared away.
Jean let S/O take the lead, slowly getting louder and louder.
She curled her fingers around S/O's, both of them holding onto each other's hands as their tongues explored every crevice of their mouths.
Lisa at first wanted to tease S/O with a slightly longer kiss to see their reaction.
When she saw them lean after her as she tried to pull away, Lisa couldn't help but giggle.
In fact, it got her excited. A dangerous shine in her eyes and a quick lick of her lips was all it took for S/O to shudder.
Lisa's gloved hands grabbed S/O's face as she had them straddle her on the chair.
S/O sucked on her tongue as her hands explored their lower back and reaching under their shirt.
When Lisa felt S/O's hands reach her chest, her fingers jolted them with the tiniest amount of electro, making them yelp.
(Lisa) "My, my. Getting greedy, aren't we? Well, that's not an issue, really.~"
Now, Lisa began taking their tongue into her lips and had them moan deliciously into her own mouth. Every time she used her electro vision to make them louder, she held them even tighter.
If they made this much noise when kissing, then it was going to be a fun night.
Truthfully, 15 had no earthly idea of what she was doing.
She was familiar with kissing, but the way S/O was doing it was far longer and more...strange.
She felt S/O push into her, leaving her wide eyed and mostly confused.
15 didn't hate the feeling, or at least it certainly didn't feel like she did. She just had no idea how to respond.
(AK-15) "Is there something I should be doing in return, S/O?...Kiss back? A-Affirmative."
15 then attempted to kiss back with the same force, but it seemed like S/O was taken by surprise as she suddenly lifted them off the ground and against the wall as she did so.
15 knew this wasn't correct, but S/O increased their kissing in response. Maybe they liked this? Humans were so strange.
And yet...she couldn't resist either. 15 closed her eyes to make S/O more comfortable and followed their lead. They seemed more experienced in this field after all.
12's smug grin seemed to grow when she felt S/O hug her from behind.
She quickly grabbed S/O and pulled them in front of her, their faces inches away from each other.
12 then felt S/O's plush lips against hers, which she hummed in approval as she pushed back.
12's moaned into S/O as her weight slowly pushed into their chest.
Her hands cheekily groped their butt, which made S/O gasp and flush with embarassment.
(AK-12) "Hm? Is something the matter? I figured you'd like that."
Not giving them a chance to respond, her hands continued to hold tightly onto S/O's rear as she began kissing their neck.
12 did like the kissing, but she enjoyed hearing what noises S/O made even more.
Duvalie sighed with a pout as she averted her gaze, allowing S/O to give her a smooch.
She mumbled something under her breath when S/O asked if they could do so again, but made no moves to stop them.
By the fourth time, she had turned to meet their lips and had her eyes closed.
By the sixth time, their kiss was lasting about thirty seconds as her pouty demanour faded.
Now, by the ninth time, her hands were on their back as she put the side of her head against their chest.
(Duvalie) "...Just a few more, got it?"
When S/O gently raised her off the ground and had their hands on her waist, she seemed to completely forgot what she had said.
Duvalie had her hands push their head closer as her tongue wrapped around theirs.
She tried her best to stifle the whimpers coming out of her, but after a few minutes of this wonderful feeling of love, she didn't care anymore.
All she wanted was to feel S/O's love that moment.
Sharon's signature smile didn't budge as S/O kissed her hand. She tilted her head expectedly, waiting for S/O to make another move.
Taking the cue, S/O then kissed Sharon on the lips, to which she kissed back and delicately held both their hands with hers.
Sharon intensified the kiss after a few moments and waited for S/O to take another step.
And she was very pleased when she felt S/O lean in more, their kiss slowly growing more needy.
When S/O pulled back, a thin string of saliva connected their lips, with S/O shyly wiping it off with a free hand.
Sharon took that free hand, and seductively put their index finger into her mouth and sucked it for a moment.
Giggling at their flustered reaction, she pulled their hand out and smirked.
(Sharon) "Are you satisfied with just a kiss? Because I do not believe I am, S/O."
Finally seeing she had their consent, Sharon took the next step herself by having her hands slip up to S/O's back.
Sharon sucked on their neck as her thumb gently entered the side of their mouth and pulled out their tongue.
She swallowed their mouth as her strength lifted them off the ground and into the nearby bed.
Sharon had a mind to taste more than their tongue tonight.

cw: spoilers for the end of dr. stone! smut near the end. minors dni. angst at the beginning. reader implied to not be from japan.
Your subtle gift of premonition truly never fails you, and you realize so once more when you're crowded around Senku's laboratory with the remainder of Yuzuriha and Taiju's closest wedding guests and staring up at the monstrous contraption Senku is designating as a time machine.
While the remainder of the party is in curious astonishment, the uneasy feeling that's been sitting heavily in your chest since the morning of the wedding only solidifies further.
Now you know why you woke up sick to your stomach on what should be a happy day.
Tsukasa stands close to you, pensive as always, thinking before he adds his own commentary, ever so careful with his words. There's a small smile on his face, and you read that as awe and amusement at Senku's relentless pursuit of scientific advancement; something he had once tried to suppress, he's come to appreciate, and while you'd normally be pleased with how far he's come in that respect, in this very moment it feels like a betrayal.
A time machine would change everything.
Truly everything, and the selfish part of you scorns it.
Tsukasa finds your hand besides him, still mulling over the details as Senku explains his roadmap to the group, and squeezes it gently without looking. Your corsage of pink flowers brushes against the sleeve of his suit, and you watch a few petals fall. Suddenly you are far too overwhelmed, and would much rather run of the room, but when you see hope warm Tsukasa's brown eyes, you hold in your unease as best you can.
"Senku really is amazing, isn't he?" you say through a smile that should come easier than it does. Tsukasa hasn't turned to return your smile yet, still watching the machine, eyes wide.
"He really is."
---
That evening, Tsukasa in his contrarily roundabout but very direct way of speaking, reaffirms his intention to marry you someday. In a small way, you might as well be married - you're inseparable, you live together with Mirai who calls you big sister and means it every single time, and he makes you feel his love every time he holds you in the dark, and presses deep into you, relishing in the sound of his name as it falls off his lips.
Something big if you want it. Something small will also suffice. Something that makes everything even more real, he says to you, pressing his face into the crook of your neck. Pillow talk should make you feel warm, warm as the liquid seeping between your legs. Warm as his arms. Warm as the sensation of his tongue in your mouth, on your skin.
"Tsukasa," you finally speak up in the dark.
He pulls you closer, and you pause before the words bubble up inside you and force their way out -
"I don't want to lose you."
A lamp flickers on and Tsukasa takes in your tear-stained face with as much alarm allotted for someone so naturally stoic. His palm takes your cheek and rubs it gently, the other arm pulling you in closer to press against him. Your face buries into his chest, and there you let yourself really cry.
He lets you tremble in his embrace for a few more moments, pressing soft kisses to the top of your head. He has no idea what you're talking about, because how can he when you've remained in your head all day?
Once your sniffles have slowed, he pulls back so that he can look at you in the eyes again, making sure you're still within an arm's reach.
"How can you lose me when I've never left?" he asks.
You swallow, and then decide if you must sound awful, now is the time.
"Without de-petrification, there's no way we would have met."
Tsukasa tenses for a moment, which makes your heart sink, but then he pulls you closer, then on top of him. Sliding upwards so that his back is propped up by the headboard, he strokes your forehead. He mulls the thought over for a moment, and you look up into his beautiful face, your heart pounding in anticipation.
"I'd find you," he says, confidently, and you're stunned practically silent. Simple as that.
You blink for a moment, surprised by his answer, then find your face growing hot.
"What do you mean, 'you'd find me'? We lived on the opposite sides of the world? You would have been famous and I just... some girl with some normal job, and-"
He kisses you again to interrupt you, then presses his forehead to yours.
"Trust me. I'd find you."
You can feel your breath halt and he smiles.
"You don't believe me, do you?" he says. His gaze is soft, and he grins wider, confident, flipping you over so that he's over top of you. You can feel your face growing hot again but for a different reason now. Sucking in a breath, you wrinkle your nose.
"Were you gonna pluck me from my grad school classroom?" you ask him.
"If I must," he says. He kisses your neck, then parts your legs to wrap them around his waist. Your eyelashes flutter.
"Unrealistic," you reply.
"I'd find you," he says again. His fingers intertwine with yours as he rubs against your center. You sigh, but he's taken all of the worry out of you and replaced it with playful jest. He's so good at this, the way he validates your fears, but doesn't allow you to feel afraid because he lacks that fear, and is always strong enough, good enough, brave enough to protect you. Even from yourself.
"Would you send me special signals through MMA's greatest knockouts montages on Youtube?"
This time he actually laughs, falling back on his heels.
"Yes," he answers. "Whatever it takes."
He's hard again, and the heavy thickness slaps on your pubic bone, and you tense, your heartbeat quickening, your mouth drying in want. He runs his hand through his hair to free the strands sticking to his face before he descends on you again, the other hand gripping the base of his cock to line up with your entrance.
He blows air from his nose, then pulls one of your legs over his shoulder. His teeth flash at you - he is your perfect, sweet, confident love of your life, and all of your worries cease.
"You should be less worried about universes where we don't meet and more concerned about the fact that you can't escape me in any timeline."
He fills you up, your back arching as his hands grip around your waist.
"You're always mine to love."

I have a req for fluffy Friday!!
I saw this art where Miles G. wears eyeliners so maybe a fic where he has reader do his wings for him? except the catch is reader doesn't wear makeup so she's just doing trial and error with him 😭
I thought it would be cute <3
🥰🥰🥰 as a wing eyeliner lover, I absolutely adore this prompt, thank you for requesting! Hope you like it 🫶
Pairing: Hobie Brown x fem! Reader/ Spider-Punk x fem! Reader
Tags: No use of Y/N, no specific physical description of the reader, lovestruck Hobie Fluff.
ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ
“Are you sure sure about this? You're on in fifteen, Hobs.” Your hands are shaking, gripping the pen eyeliner too tight.
Hobie holds your shaking hands in his, beaming up at you from the grimey countertop of the greenroom's bathroom. He has you placed in between his legs, long legs keeping you in place. The yellow flickering lights makes your frown more prominent, that won't do. Hobie, the absolute angel that he is, cranes his neck up to kiss the lines off your face.
You squeak in surprise, he holds you still, peppering your skin with kisses that you're sure left some of his dark lipstick all over your face. He doesn't stop until he hears your laugh over the booming music outside.
“Okay, okay! I got your message!” You chuckle, opening your eyes, you see yourself in the foggy mirror behind him, your premonition was correct, you're covered in his kiss marks.
“Told you my lipstick looks good on you, lovie” he smiles at you, his lipstick on his lips is smudged to the side.
“On my lips, Hobie, not all over my face!” You clean up his lips as best as you can with your thumb.
“So you're telling me to put more on and transfer it to your lips? You cheeky little—”
You giggle as he squeezes your thighs. “—Maybe after the show, now let me start or we'll be here all night”
Armed with a single black eyeliner and an almost empty pack of makeup wipes, you exhale a shaky breath, laying your palm over his cheek; he closes his eye, the other is watching your concentrated face as you start carefully lining his eyelids first.
“I don't mind bein’ here all night as long as we stay like this”
“If you don't stop moving we'll actually be here all night”
“Yes, manager” you chuckle, shaking your head.
You've successfully lined both his eyelids without poking his eyes out. You mentally pat yourself on the back while fanning his face.
“You good?” You ask Hobie who looks like he's just about to fall asleep.
“Better than good, I've got my own stress ball right here” He squeezes your hips, peeking at you to see you roll your eyes in time.
“Go check if it's right”
Hobie looks over his shoulder without his hands leaving you, laughing when he sees his reflection.
“Shit, did I do it that bad?”
“No, it's fucking brilliant!” He looks back at you with a grin. “I thought you said you've never tried this before”
“I haven't, I was being an absolute try hard and also i was avoiding accidentally poking your eyes”
“I can handle a little poke. You think you can handle adding the wings now?” He rubs your arms comfortingly.
You nod, “I think I can, yeah”
“Yeah? That's my girl” his words make you jump all over the walls, but of course you keep your composure, maybe. “They don't have to be perfect,” he guides your hand back to his face, “just focus and keep your hands still for me, gorgeous.”
You close your eyes, it's too hot in the cramped space, either that or It's literally just his words making you sweat.
“You gotta open your eyes to see where you're drawin’!” he laughs from the belly, tapping your eyelids open. Once you slowly ease your eyes open, he smiles wider. “There you are, my girl, welcome back.”
“You keep talking like that and you'll have a very wobbly wing”
“As long as it's drawn by you”
“Close your damn eyes, Hobart”
He tries to hide his laugh with a tight-lipped smile, small chuckles escape when you start the first line of his wing.
“Hobie, please” you tap his jaw.
“‘m not moving” he has his fingers wrapped securely around your belt loops, kneading his thumbs around your hips.
After a few wobbly lines and a couple of wipes used, you've finally done it, your masterpiece.
“You can open your eyes now” you happily hum.
He opens his eyes to the most beautiful sight: your smile.
“‘m guessing you did good?” you nod, turning his face so he could see himself, he lets you guide him with a lopsided smile. “Look at that, not too bad for your first wings, eh?”
“‘Not too bad?’ They're twins!”
“Sorry, you're right, it's perfect. Claim your prize?” Hobie points at his lips, you're already thinking about re-applying his lipstick before he goes on stage.
“More lipstick for me!” You giddily lean down, careful not to smudge his newly applied eyeliner. His lipstick though, that's a different thing, you can smudge it all you want.

Snippet - "Oh" - Forward but Never Forget/XOXO
Vi finally gets her answers.
She likes not a single one.
Forward but Never Forget/XOXO
Snippet:
"I'll not deny the war came at a cost. But don't pretend Topside would've let us go free without it. We could humble ourselves till the end of days. Stand with our heads bowed and our palms out, all please-mister-may-I-have-some-more?" His Jinxy falsetto bites like a lash. "They'd never hear us. They paint us as monsters and say we're heartless. But you know what? The so-called champions are worse. They can't even see what's so far below their mighty feet. The idea that they'd give us our freedom is a fantasy. It's not sustainable, Vander, and it will never—"
His words, hot, punishing, sluice over Vi.
She no longer hears them.
"Vander," she says.
For the first time, Silco's composure cracks. He falls back in his stool, jaw rolling as if against a punch.
"Vi," he corrects, with forcible calm. "Vi."
"You and Vander… talked about this?"
Silco says nothing. His slumped shoulders are the closest she'll get to a Yes. She stares at the white hooks of his knuckles against the black table countertop. She senses that is the only thing keeping him from overturning it, and destroying everything in the room.
Including her.
Instead, he withdraws his smoking case from his vest. A lighter is fished out. A cigarette is sparked. A jet of smoke is expelled.
The scent of brightleaf submerges the space. Heavily, Silco subsides in his stool.
"Vander," he says, "was the last person I had this argument with."
"Before you fell out."
The barest nod.
"What happened?" Vi's pulse throbs in her chest. "Please. Blut—Silco. Tell me. I have to know." A deep breath. "We both do."
"Both?"
"You and me. I've spent the last seven years in a prison of my own making. You're right, I—I don't know you. I don't know Jinx. Not anymore. But if I'm going to make a choice—forward, backward, whichever fucking way—I need the truth. What happened between you and Vander? It wasn't Bloody Sunday, and it wasn't the Day of Ash. So what the hell was it? Why'd you split ways?"
Silco stays slumped in his chair. The kitchen's luminosity makes a shadow of him. Smoke curls lazily from the cigarette between his fingers. The dimensions of the suite suddenly feel different to Vi. Like a waiting room—or an exorcism chamber.
She tries to shake off a chill.
"We split ways," Silco says. "Because of love."
"Love?"
"Love to me was revolution. A city without walls. A future moving forward—without forgetting. Love for Vander was safeguarding what remained. With the walls intact and his family inside them." His good eyelid shades. "His way of atoning for Lika's loss."
Lika.
Vi sits stunned. He's finally talking about Mom. Her and Vander. Together. Vi knows they were an item; she's got the story from Giz, and the proof from Silco's ledger. Yet the way Silco says the words:
His family.
Premonition bubbles in Vi's gut. She knows she should mistrust him. He is a consummate dissembler. Everything he says is rooted in an angle.
And yet—
"Did Vander make a promise to my mom?"
"Promise?"
"To protect me and Powder? I know they were friends. I know—" An inexplicable blush stains her cheeks. "I know about the affair. I remember the miscarriage. Did Vander take us in because of a debt?"
Silco glances away. Two fingertips rub the scarred skin of his left temple. Between them, his cigarette smolders like a signal.
"No," he says. "No man honors a debt to a dead woman."
"But—"
"Love, Vi. That's all it was. Vander took the two things he had left of Lika, and did the best he could. You were the family he'd lost. The life he wanted. And to preserve it, he swallowed a hundred grievances, and played Topside's game. He demolished himself from a bonebeaker to a bridge. He thought he could be the middle ground. Or lay himself down as the stepping stone for it."
He sighs, and a bitterness crawls over his features.
"Instead, he got caught. Between two ideals; two cities. And it tore him apart."
The chill creeps over Vi's flesh. She's not sure what to feel, beyond the reflexive disquiet of seeing your heroes in a light that's more human than ideal. Vander, a man who'd always seemed larger than life, reduced to a martyr. Mom, always so strong-minded, a victim of the fates. And Silco, a threat in every sense, the last one standing to tell the tale.
"Is it true?" Vi whispers. "Did you kill my Mom?"
The veil of smoke parts a little. In the wanly-glowing kitchen, Silco's features regain an odd softness. Blut, she thinks, resurrected on a shivering breath. Still handsome in that sharp, wolfish way, and still a bit sly.
Still as young as Vi's memory—and every bit as tortured.
"Vander," he says, "certainly believed so."
"But is it true?"
"Truth is the first casualty of war."
"Don't do that." Vi's anger rears. "Don't evade the question. Did you kill her?"
"Vi—"
"You did, didn't you?" Tears leap into her eyes, a fresh surge of betrayal. "She was in the way. So you offed her. And Vander saw it. That's why he's attacked you. Why he kept what you'd done a secret. To the last, he protected your sins. Hid your dirty laundry from the Lanes. Because that's what a real friend does. A real father. Vander wasn't mine by blood, but he understood the cost of love better than you!"
The beginnings of banked ire in Silco's eyes bleed out. What's left is an unsettling innocence. Something Vi struggles to articulate, but recognizes on a level of instinct:
Dismay.
"Oh," he says.
"Oh, what?"
"You don't know."
"Know what?"
"The truth. About Lika. About Vander."
His voice holds an odd lilt, half-sardonic, half-something else. It triggers a queer fizz in Vi's belly: soda and ice, shaken until they're ready to explode.
"What?" she hears herself say. "What truth?"
"Oh, Pet. Poor Pet. So that's why—" He cuts himself off with a sharp sound. A laugh on its last legs. "Gods, you were so young. I'd forgotten. And Vander—the sentimental fool. He never told you. Maybe he knew if you learned the truth, the world would look different. Or maybe—you'd see him differently." The laugh hits a harsher register. "Kindred's bollocks, Vander. A coward to the last."
"Told me what?"
Vi is shaking. She's not sure why, only that there's icewater creeping into her lungs.
Half-fright, half-foreboding.
Silco's expression makes it worse. There's no mockery in it. Only a dark-eyed sympathy. As if the real enemy between them is ignorance, and he's not sure of his right to slay it.
Not in Vander's stead.
"If I tell you," Silco says, in the gentlest tone she's heard from him. "There are no takebacks. Do you understand?"

Name: Fujitsumon
Debut: Digimon Pendulum 2.0 Deep Savers (kind of. It's a little complicated. But don't worry about that)
Fujitsumon is a darling little eyes-in-a-void barnacle! With their brown exteriors, they really do bring to mind Jawas, world-renowned eyes-in-a-void creature. This is a rare design choice for a barnacle, and a barnacle is a rare creature inspiration choice! Too rare! They are such incredible and fascinating animals, and should absolutely be represented as such, and not just background decorations!
Fujitsumon is essentially a Digimon by technicality, an accessory of a creature, and I'm fine with that. They're acknowledged as creatures, and that's enough for me! They're almost always seen attached to the surface of another creature, and that sure is barnacle of them!
This is their host, Octomon! Or Octmon, if you don't like the dub name, but I think Octomon sounds better. Octomon wears a clay pot on its head, and Fujitsumon live on top of that! This is a smart setup. If I lived underwater I would love to wear a hat that some barnacle friends of mine could live on! Fujitsumon and Octomon have a mutualistic relationship going on, where the barnacles will sense danger, and warn the octopus of it, getting the whole group out of danger!
The reason I wasn't so sure about Fujitsumon's debut is that in Deep Savers, Octomon's sprite looks like this, not nearly detailed enough to even depict some barnacles! However, it does seem like the official art was made around this time, so I might as well consider this Fujitsumon's debut too.
There isn't much to Fujitsumon, but I love it! It's cute, it's a barnacle, and it's almost a "secret" creature, and that makes it, dare I say, even more fun than if it was a standalone obtainable Digimon! A charming little oddity in the digital world.
That's what I thought until I found out this little barnacle has a whole dedicated ANIME EPISODE! YEEHAW! This is the best barnacle-related cartoon episode I've ever seen! Better than SpongeBob SquarePants episode 164a Barnacle Face! Why, even better than Benny the Barnacle (2022)! Can you believe it? Better than Benny the Barnacle? I can.
In this episode of Digimon Ghost Game, the human protagonist is tormented by premonitions of disasters occurring to everyone around him, revealed to be caused by a Fujitsumon settled on his head. A land mammal is no place for a barnacle! Wouldn't it be crazy if you could go to the beach and leave with a barnacle settled on your fingernail? What would you even do? I would probably feel obligated to dip my finger into the ocean regularly to let it filter-feed. If only we had air plankton!
This Fujitsumon, as well as others that are affecting other humans, come from one particular Octomon, who got so angry at his barnacles that they Left. These are no real-life, cemented-in-place-for-the-rest-of-their-lives barnacles! They can just get up and leave if they're bothered. I bet real barnacles wish they could do that! It would be so embarrassing to end up settled right next to a turtle's... hehe... I shan't say...!
Octomon's petty outburst was over his magic brain barnacles not using their clairvoyance to help him win at a mobile game. Now, because of his Gamer Moment, there are Fujitsumon stuck directly to peoples' heads, which can cause these heads to explode. Maybe he should have just played a good mobile game, like Pico Pets Puzzle! *high fives someone offscreen*
Don't worry! Everything's ok in the end, like it always is with invertebrate friends! Octomon apologizes, the lead Fujitsumon gathers the whole crusty crew, and everything is fine except for the physical damage that has already been done, but don't worry! The virtual invertebrates are all friends again! Squishy or chitinous, none of us have spines, and that's what matters!
If you know of any obscure barnacles in media, please let me know in the notes! And until the next high tide, remember to close your armored plates to prevent dessication!
