Hey, Horrormaster Sims. I have a wildly different question that barely relates to TMA (Sorry about that) but its about your own process. Please, if you could, can you tell me how your first drafts made you feel? I'm on the fence about writing my own thing (not a podcast, and again, not Magnus related, though I have a million little aus for that delightful tragedy you wrote, thank you for that!) But I'm discouraged by the collective notion that first drafts are always terrible, because there's no ... examples I can solidly use to help the dumb anxiety beast in my brain that tells me everyone who is in any way popular popped out a golden turd and not, well, you know. One of my friends said 'Oh I bet Jonathan Sims's first draft was nothing like what he wanted' and I got the bright idea to just. Send you an ask, since you're trapped on this hellsite like I am. Anyway, thanks for reading this (if you do) and if you'd rather ask it privately, I am cool with that. Alternatively, you're a hella busy man with Protocol (you and Alex are making me rabid, i hope you know) and you can just ignore this! Cheers, man, and good words.
To my mind all writing advice, especially stuff that's dispensed as truisms (like "first drafts are always garbage") are only useful inasmuch as such advice prompts you to pay attention to how you write best: what helps your workflow, what inspires you, what keeps you going through the rough bits. There are as many different ways to write (and write well) as there are people who write and so always consider this sort of thing a jumping off point to try out or keep in mind as you gradually figure out your own ways of writing.
On first drafts specifically, I think the wisdom "all first drafts are bad" is a bit of unhelpful oversimplification of the fact that, deadlines notwithstanding, no piece of writing goes out until you decide its ready, so don't get too hung up on your first draft of a thing, because a lot of writers find it much easier to edit a complete work than to try and redraft as they go. It's also important to not let perfectionism or the fact your initial draft isn't coming out exactly how you want stop you from actually finishing the thing, as it's always better to have something decent and done than to have something perfect and abandoned.
But the idea of a "first draft" is also kind of a fluid one. The "first draft" you submit to someone who's commissioned you will probably be one you've already done a bunch of tweaks and edits to, as opposed to the "first draft" you pump out in a frenzy in an over-caffeinated weekend. For my part, my first drafts tend to end up a bit more polished than most, because I'm in the habit of reading my sentences out loud as I write them (a habit picked up from years of audio writing) so I'll often write and re-write a particular sentence or paragraph a few times to get the rhythm right before moving to the next one. This means my first drafts tend to take longer, but are a bit less messy. I'm also a big-time planner and pretty good at sticking to the structures I lay out so, again, tend to front load a lot of stuff so I get a better but slower first draft.
At the end of the day, though, the important thing is to get in your head about it in a good way (How do I write best? what helps me make writing I enjoy and value? What keeps me motivated?) and not in a bad way (What if it's not good enough? What if everyone hates it? What if it doesn't make sense?) so that you actually get it done.
As for how my first drafts made me feel? Terrible, every one of 'em No idea if that's reflective of their quality, though, tbh - I hate reading my own writing until I've had a chance to forget it's mine (I can only ever see the flaws). I suppose there's theoretically a none-zero chance they were pure fragments of True Art and creative perfection, but Alex's editing notes make that seem unlikely.

—VOICELINES ABOUT YOU. various
Synopsis: Yuuken interrogates some of the boys on the campus about their special someone. Hearing their loving ramblings on you was certainly not what he expected.

R.R | RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS:
About: Riddle's Rose
"Rose? I see you've met that troublesome intern at the library. That's a nickname. Their name is (Y/N) and yes, they are my partner." "A-Ah? I'm so direct? Well, you asked me a question! Though...I would prefer that this discussion end here. I prefer to keep my relationship with them private.”
Chat: Childhood Memories
“Ever since we were young, (Y/N) was quite rebellious. The complete opposite of me as a child, really. They were always sneaking off during the night and coming over to visit me. Mother...didn't approve of them and often screamed in their face. I was quite terrified she would scare them away, though that didn't stop them at all. Haha, I think they got even more persistent afterwards. I am truly glad I met them.”
Personal Story: To the Hospital
“Again...? I see. Thank you, Trey. Hmph, I'll have to schedule another visit once more."
> "Riddle? What's wrong?"
"Ah, Yuuken—It's Rose. They've gotten admitted to the hospital...again. (Y/N) is quite impulsive and tends to bite off more than they can chew. On more than occasion, like now, I would find out about their hospital admissions via Trey days or even weeks after."
>"Aren't you dating? Why aren't they telling you?"
"They claim that they withhold the information from me out of concern for my workload or out of fear of being a burden. Though that is—a sentiment I don't understand. Nothing is more important to me than their health."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
R.B | RUGGIE BUCCHI
About: The Photo In His Wallet
"Where is it?! Man, I'm so fucked if I lost it—Oh?! Oi, Yuuken! That wallet's mine! Man, thanks a lot. I really would've been screwed over if it weren't for you." "Eh? The photo? Shishishishi curious, aren't cha? Hmmm...how 'bout this? You get me a steaming hot meat bun and I'll give you a story time about them."
Chat: A Hopeful Future
"My studies? Course I take them seriously! That's what's gonna' put food on the table one day. Plus, I wanna' give (Y/N) the life they deserve—What'd I mean? Well, if I'm going to be their husband, I want 'em to live comfortably. It's not like we need anythin' luxurious, anyways. As long as we're together and there's enough food to go by, it's going to be all right."
Personal Story: In Sickness and In Health
"....that's good to hear. Please look after 'em, granny. Love ya." The call ends and Ruggie sighs. "That's the best news I've received since."
>"News?"
"Guh-?! Man! What's with you and sneaking up on me!? Yeah yeah—you heard right...news. Granny just called me to talk about (Y/N), their health is looking up. Tell ya' what, I knew that deal with Azul was worth it. I managed to snag some medicine and send it home."
>"Oh? Medicine?"
"Yeah. Ever since my first year of high school, they were sick and bedridden. (Y/N)'s parents don't have enough money for a doctor, so there's not much they can do. Of course, I'm out here doin' my best to help too."
"I really...I really wanna see them up and runnin' again. Hey, who knows—maybe we'll get to make flower crowns for the village kids again...together."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A.A | AZUL ASHENGROTTO
About: An Interrogation
"Yuuken, you’ve met (Y/N), I hear. Well, as their partner, it's only right that I ask you about it. I assume you don't mind. So, what is your opinion of them? Nothing short of perfection, I hope."
"Hm? You think they're nice? Good then."
Chat: Busy Octoboss
"With all the deals, my maintenance of my academic ranking, and my position as Monstro Lounge's manager, my workload is quite substantial compared to most. And, I regret to say that it does get in the way of my personal life, including quality time with my lover. It tears at my heart, yet I cherish how they're so understanding and patient. Still, sometimes I can't help but think I am undeserving of them..."
Personal Story: Deep Sea Bonds
"My childhood is not something that I appreciate or want to remember. Yet, despite everything I've been through, I do think it is pleasant to look back on the days when I met them. You see, (Y/N) was bullied too. They were just like me, relentlessly bad mouthed and hurt by the kids around us. However, they never failed to greet me every day with a bright smile on their face."
>"What a sunny person."
"They'd also always have the courage and bravery to stand up for me, often taking the brunt of the bullying. I wish I could say I did the same for them...but I was far too cowardly back then..."
>"Wow. You two must be really close, then."
"Of course. They've been through a lot.Which is exactly why I won't allow anyone to speak ill of them anymore." Azul pauses, smiling slyly. "Say, Yuuken. You'll tell me if anyone casts aspersions on my Angelfish, won't you?"
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
J.L | JADE LEECH
About: A Helping Hand
"Hm? What's that? Ah, you’ve met my darling pearl. I see. I do notice how you’ve been frequenting Monstro Lounge lately…Have you perhaps acquired a romantic interest towards them? No? Hehe, Alright." "Now, to answer your question, yes, that is right; (Y/N) routinely comes over to visit and aid me in my Mountain Treks. I couldn't be more grateful for their assistance."
Chat: The Pearl Ring
"Oya? I see you're curious about the ring I've been crafting. Well, it's for (Y/N). You see, in merfolk culture, we create handcrafted jewelry to serve as a courting gift. This is one of many ornaments I plan on giving them. Though, this one is...particularly unique. Ah, well...(Y/N) Leech does have a nice ring to it, does it not?"
Personal Story: A Jaded Reaction
"Oya? (Y/N) is spending the night at Ramshackle? Whatever reason for?"
>"Grim wanted to have a game night."
"Ah. I see. How...lovely. What's that? My smile is frightening you? Oho, now is it? Hehe, my deepest apologies. We eels tend to be quite...protective. I so anticipate you to take good care of them. And fret not, as long as you keep them away from any harm, no disputes shall arise."
>"Uh...and if something happened?"
"What if something happened...? Well, I'm sure you wouldn't mind being hunted down the face of the earth, tied up, and pulled down to the deepest pits of the blue ocean, where no one can hear your anguished cries for help...Would you?" 
>"..."
"Just joking. I would never do that."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
F.L | FLOYD LEECH
About: A Sea Walnut
"(Y/N)? Aha~~~ You've heard of my little sea walnut? They're so adorable and squishy, yanno!—Is there a problem? If you got a problem with 'em, I'll squeeze you." "Oh? Not scared at all, huh? Ehe~ You sure are ballsy. Tread carefully now, shrimpy~!"
About: Ocean Currents
"Whenever a strong ocean current comes, sea walnut always huddles close to me and grabs my arm. They've always been afraid of being blasted away."
"They used to do that a lot when we were kids, but it never gets old. Hehe~ Sometimes, I lead them to places where the waves are strong, jus' so they can cling onto me! It's so funny to see 'em get afraid and scramble after me when I move too far away. "
Personal Story: Shark Attack
"Hmm~? Oh, what're these bite marks? Rad, aren't they? I got them after fighting a buncha' sharks."
>"Sharks?! Why would you do that?"
"To get these. It's shark teeth. Our anniversary is comin' up, and Jade suggested that I should make some jewelry for them. It's a merfolk courting thing. Azul 'n Jade told me to get them pearls, but I thought that was boring. So, I'm making one with shark teeth instead! Isn't that cool~?"
>"I-I guess, but what happened to the sharks?"
"Ugh. None of them were a fun hunt. The entire hoard swam away so fast. Can you believe it???… I’m not the typa eel who would let my prey get away that easily, though. And it’s not like I had anything better to do. Ehehe! There were so many of those sharks swarming around, but I managed to squeeze them all! Well, it was worth it in the end cuz I got what I wanted. I'll do anythin' for my little sea walnut~"
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
J.V | JAMIL VIPER
About: A Hearty Meal
“What am i doing? Well, I'm making some Roast Chicken with Sumac Flatbread. Oh? Who's (Y/N)? Ah, Kalim must have told you, huh. (Y/N) is my partner. They are truly wonderful."
"For example—Though I like to think I'm skilled at disguising my true feelings, the moment I go to see them, they already know what I'm thinking. They have a keen sense of intuition and always seem to know what I need and when I need it. Truly, I'm grateful for such a caring—Ah, I'm sorry. I was rambling again."
Chat: Snake-Eyed Envy
"I can't dispute that a lot of people back home are vying for their affection.That bothers me at times. As Kalim's babysitter-ehem, retainer, I don't have enough time to check in on them every day...However, as cheesy as it sounds, I have yet to meet someone who is as smitten with (Y/N) as I am."
Personal Story: World Left Unsaid
"I soon understood that I was more than the circumstances of my birth, all thanks to (Y/N). In fact, My bond with Kalim has become stronger and more genuine thanks to them. I...realized my hatred for Kalim was just my desire for my circumstances to be different...I didn't hate him at all. Without (Y/N), I would never have understood it."
>"They must be very important to you, Jamil."
"Absolutely. I was terrified that I might lose them after my overblot. But to my surprise, they stayed with me. Naturally, it hurt them, but they were really compassionate towards me and about how much I had to go through."
>"Do they know of what you feel?"
"I...I don't think (Y/N) realizes just how much I cherish them. I don't think now's the right time for that though. I've hurt them too much and I still have a long way to go before I fix things."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
M.D | MALLEUS DRACONIA
About: He's Engaged?!
"I am, indeed, betrothed. Heh. Why are you looking so bewildered, Child of Man? If I'm going to be a king someday, it only makes sense that I would need someone to reign alongside me, no? At first glance, (Y/N) may seem aloof, but as you get to know them more, you'll see that they are actually incredibly lovely and warm."
"You never thought I was one for romance? My, my... What a bold statement, you best learn how to hold your tongue. Have you considered that I could use lightning to smite you where you stand?...Now, now—That was a joke. You don't have to cower in fear."
Chat: Safe And Sound
"My precious treasure tells me that I tend to get protective at times. Though can you really fault a lover for wanting to protect the one who is most important to them in this cruel, ruthless world. One where others will not hesitate to turn on you?"
Personal Story: The Art Of War
"I am actually the first of my lineage to wed someone who is not a noble. You see, (Y/N) is a knight-in-training. And, as you can probably guess, they served as my retainer. To see them at work was truly a magnificent sight to witness. They command attention and radiate strength. While I had always admired them, I could not bring myself to express my true feelings to them. Until...that night."
>"That night?"
"Yes. On the evening of Silver's 16th birthday, someone had rushed at me with a dagger in hand. (Y/N) was the first to respond and took the hit for me...The sound of their screams as the knife tore through their flesh was truly...horrifying."
>"That's horrible! What happened to the guy?"
"Worry not, he was taken care of accordingly....If there is anything I’ve learned from Lilia's many teachings, it’s that the worst calamities that befall an army arise from hesitation. To avoid further offensives, one must deal with and eliminate adversaries as soon as possible. Don't you think so?"

Negan x reader smut
♡Hey everyone! Here's a smut based on a request I got recently...I hope I did it justice!! If you have any more requests, please leave 'em with me <3
Warnings: vibrator play, Negan being Negan, dirty talk, afab reader, overstimulation, penetration mentioned, tears of pleasure referenced, dominant Negan, also his softer side comes out a little!
♡ You decide to tell Negan some valuable information you found out earlier in the day. He appreciates it and wants to reward you for telling him.
You felt nervous as you stand in the ominous looking meeting room. Negan sits confidently at the foot of the large table, his feet stretched out onto the glass as he crosses his legs. You can't help but eye up Lucille, leaning against the dreary grey walls, covered in splotches of dark blood. You shyly look down at your shaky hands, examining your fingers for the sake of keeping distacted from the long silence hanging between you both.
You don't know how the unpredictable man is going to respond to what you just told him. You witnessed Simon, his right hand man, going about the Sanctuary like he owned the place earlier today. He confidently strutted around, talking the big talk on how he wanted to kill Negan and take over as leader. Your heart dropped after hearing him discuss his plan with random Saviors.
You don't know why you felt the need to tell Negan this, but it must have been due to your feelings towards him. You always had an attraction to him... you liked how confident he was, how he presented himself... even his dirty sense of humour amused you. Not to mention how you swooned every time his dimples became promimant as he spoke.
Suddenly, he speaks up, snapping you away from your thoughts.
"So...you wanna know what I think?" *he sighs as his deep voice rumbles through you, making you shiver in your place. You look up to see him staring intensely at you, leaning back in his chair casually while you shyly play around with your fingers. You meet his gaze hopefully, eyes twinkling up at him.
Instead of directly telling you, he laughs to himself as he gets up from his chair. The sound runs through your body, making you shiver as he confidently walks towards you, invading your space. You can't help but look up at him as he smiles widely at you, those dimples showing like you always loved. A blush spreads across your face instantly, feeling shy under his strict gaze.
"I think..." He says slowly, letting his words draw out. "that you've been very good..coming to me and telling me all this"
As he speaks, he let's his rough hand come up to your face, pushing a strand of your hair behind your ear.
"Very, very good..." He continues, his voice somehow a lot deeper and sultry than it was before. You gulp softly as you continue to look up into his dark hazel eyes. There is a clear tension building up and you feel yourself becoming weaker as he towers over you dominantly.
"Are you a good girl? Is that why you came and told me all this?"
Your eyes flutter closed for a moment as his words send an ache straight down to your already needy core. His presence alone can have you dripping wet with need and you feel your underwear hugging tightly against your wet little pussy as he speaks to you, craving his large, rough hands all over your body. You can't fathom a response and he smirks knowing how he's making you feel.
"I reward good girls...do you know that?" He presses on, not breaking eye contact for a single second as he searches your eyes for a response. You hum out in response, a simple 'mmm' leaving your mouth as a little whine rather than a sound of acknowledgement. This makes him smirk again as he goes to whisper in your ear.
"How about you sit your pretty little ass on that table and give me a second" he utters confidently, his voice a little rough. You recognise that it is not a question, it is a demand. You blush wildly and nod in compliance, quickly making your way over to the table, your skirt riding up your legs slightly. You enjoy the sensation of the cold glass pressing against the heat of your soft thighs as you watch the man open up one of the large cabinets, pulling something out with a low laugh of amusement. Nervously, you look down into your lap as he walks back over to you, stopping right in front of where you're sitting.
He gazes at you with fervour, an inappropriate expression painted on his face as he observes you intensely. He suddenly shakes an object in front of your eyes, forcing you to look up at it with a shy look on your face. It's a pink, medium-sized object, a rod shape. It also has a few small buttons etched onto the side of it. Immediately, you know what it is. Despite your inexperience in the area, you know straight away that he's holding a vibrator right in front of your eyes. The sight makes you gulp as you connect your thoughts, realising what he meant by "reward"
"Hm? Would you like that..? Want me to press this between your legs..?"
His voice sends chills down your spine as you squeeze your thighs together needily, noticeably wanting to give into his offer. He was serious about this...
"M-mmm...Negan..." You say his name softly, your voice coming out a little more needy than you would have liked. That's the confirmation he needs from you as you whimper out your reply, seeing him smirk as he bites his lip a small bit at the sight of you sitting there so vulnerable on his table.
Suddenly, you feel his strong hands grazing along your thighs, making you shiver at the feeling. His thumb brushes against the soft skin as he pushes your legs apart, making room for him to step between them. You're in a very desperate state as he kneads your sensitive flesh, making your face heat up even more than before. Your mind starts racing as you feel him hiking your skirt up, revealing your soaked panties.
"Goddamn! Look at that...you're fucking soaked..."
His crude words make you whimper softly as he plays with the hem of your panties, your eyes fully taken over by the desire you feel for him.
N-Negan...I...
You try to speak as he languidly pulls your panties down, yet they protest a bit as they hug around your sweet little clit and soft, puffy lips. A string of slick connects your panties to your needy core as he slips them down your ankles.
Without saying anything, he looks down at you, meeting your gaze for a moment. His dark eyes are full of desire and so are yours. He shakes his head at you a little bit, showing his satisfaction with how needy you are, almost in disbelief regardless of how confident he is in his ability to woo women. This is another level.
He uncharacteristically stays quiet as he grabs the pink vibrator, examining it for a moment before turning it on. A loud buzz fills the room, and your eyes flutter closed as you anticipate what's about to happen. It makes you feel so weak and dizzy as the man looks down on you, sliding his hand up your stomach and pressing you down so you're flat on the table. He pushes your legs out some more, leaving your sensitive core fully displayed for him. You see his expression shift again as his eyes fill with even more desire.
"Mmm...you're not gonna know what's hit you in a second" he says smugly as he presses the object against your inner thigh, slowly letting it drift up towards where you need it most.
"N-Negan..please..I.." Your voice is weak and soft as he looks down, observing your reactions as the vibrator buzzes against you. He teases you for a little longer before pulling it away. You close your eyes for a moment, thinking he's stopping to tease you more. That was until you suddenly felt the object pressing snug against your clit. Your eyes widen immediately as it buzzes loudly against your bundle of nerves, causing you to moan needily.
O-oh God...
You whimper and whine as he presses it against you, holding you down with his hand as you start to squirm a little bit
"Look at you...I couldn't just let you leave here with nothing after telling me such important information, right?" His voice sends shivers down your spine, so deep and rough.
You whimper in response as he holds the vibrator flush against your clit, sometimes letting it drift away from that spot for a second just to tease you.
"God girl I want to bury my dick inside of you so bad...get you all messy"
As soon as the dirty words leave his mouth, your eyes widen a little bit. "P-please...please can you..?" You try your best not to sound shaky, but between every breath you whimper needily at the man.
"What? This isn't good enough for you?" He raises his eyebrow at you, smiling widely as he's clearly amused by his own comment. He wiggles the vibrator against your pussy teasingly.
Suddenly, he presses one of the buttons, and the vibrations get a lot stronger. You whimper out again, not able to stop yourself from reaching your arm out, gripping the end of the table with your shaky fingers. It hasn't taken long for you to get close to your climax as you feel yourself getting closer and closer to the edge. You screw your eyes shut, and your breath becomes hot and heavy. He notices how you shake and whimper as you approach your orgasm.
"That's it, darlin'. Cum for me...that's it" his deep voice coaxes your orgasm as his words tip you over the edge. You moan his name desperately as you feel your legs shaking slightly from the strong vibrations to your core. As you relax through your high, enjoying the feeling running through your body, you start to feel another feeling taking you over. You notice that Negan still hasn't removed the vibrator, keeping it nestled onto your clit.
"N-Negan.." You say his name softly, a touch of curiosity in your tone as well as a little overwhelmed strain. He laughs a little to himself again, clearly amused as you squirm about. The feeling on your clit makes you wriggle in his grasp as he holds you there. Despite the overwhelming feeling, you enjoy the overstimulation to your sensitive core. You cry out desperately.
"Shhh...shh...I know doll, I know..." He reassures you a little as he continues, pressing the pink vibrator flush against you as your eyes water from the feeling.
"Hmm? That's good, isn't it..? You like that feeling?" His voice is rough as he speaks, so deep and sultry. It drives you wild as he doesn't give up with his attack on your sensitive little pussy. You can only nod your head messily as you feel a wave of pleasure shoot through you again, your second orgasm is already soon approaching. Your eyes continue to water as the overstimulation gets to you.
"I know...I know...it feels so good, hm? You like what I'm doing to you, darlin'?" You nod your head desperately again as he gazes down at you intensely. He seems to be a little softer now as he coaxes yet another orgasm from you.
"Such a good girl...cum for me again, let it all out..."
His words tip you over the edge for a second time as you screw your eyes closed, your orgasm hitting you even harder than the first. The tears prick in your eyes with pleasure as you shake again under his grasp, loving how good it feels. You moan his name over and over again, letting our desperate whimpers and whines as you let yourself go for him.
A few seconds pass as you lie there, shaking and messy as you coat part of the table in your slick.
"Mmmm, you took that so well.." Negan says roughly as he pushes the vibrator away from you, switching it off and placing it on the table. It was like he was experimenting a bit with you, seeing how much pleasure you could take.
You lie against the cold table, your breath hot and fast as your heart rate slowly starts to come down. You can't help but reach out to him, overstepping a bit of a boundary, but you want to feel him close especially after that. Your face is bright red and your painted with a satisfied and joyful expression, in disbelief of what just happened.
He doesn't give you any weird look as you reach out, sitting yourself upright. Instead, he reaches out to your waist, wrapping his strong arms around you as he lifts you up from the table, settling you down onto his lap as he sits down. You don't expect it at all, but you don't question him as you relax in his arms. You let out a soft sigh.
"T-thank you...that was..amazing" you utter gently, your voice barely above a whisper as exhaustion takes over.
"Well, I had to reward you, didn't I?" His voice is low and he seems uncharacteristically a little softer as he speaks to you. You enjoy it as you relax even more, closing your eyes.
Maybe this could be the start of something interesting...

Okay, so people wanted clarification on the art swap thing, so here's a quick list of "guidelines."
Welcome to the Sonic Fankid Swapmeet everyone!
I have no clue how long this thing is gonna last, but hey its a fun challenge so who cares.
1. Choose an artist to attack. It's preferred that they were part of the Showdown beforehand, as people unaware of the event might get confused. Doesn't mean you aren't allowed to, but please be weary. Spectators of the Showdown can attack their favorite participants if they'd like, however.
2. Characters drawn for these attacks should be fankid ocs. Preferably the ones used in the polls, but if the artist has other fankids, they are also fair game.
3. If you are attacked, it is expected you attack back, if only out of respect of the other artist's effort.
4. If you have attacked or been attacked previously, this doesn't prevent you from attacking other people as well. If you've got a ton of artists you want to support, send em attacks! There's no limit on attacks until the event kinda just dies off. After that point it'd be kinda weird to carry on. Unless you like drawing things for people. That's pretty cool of you.
5. Pin all associated posts with #Sonic Fankid Swapmeet and tag @sapphanimates
6. Do not reblog or tag new oc references with the swapmeet tag.
Anyways, any other questions just ask in the comments and i'll make edits to address them.
Oh, and if you are or plan on participating can you let me know? I'll make a list of everyone so it doesn't get messy. (I'm also just gonna plug a @sonic-fankid-showdown here too real quick...)

Is It Mine?
West Winds au I dad!Trevor x Reader I masterlist
Tumblr media
Early March 2020
"Why have you been avoiding me?" Trevor practically barged into her dorm room once she opened the door.
No, hi, how are you?" She rolled her eyes, returning to the spot on the couch she had been occupying only moments earlier.
"Nope." He popped the p in the word, plopping down beside one of his best friends. "Now answer me. Why are you avoiding me?"
"I haven't. Don't be silly, Z." Looking at her hands, she contemplates how to go about her next moves.
Does she tell him the truth, or do you hold off a little longer? How does she tell her person that the drunken night they had together a couple of months ago was going to change their lives forever?
"That's bullshit, Bean." The hockey player exclaimed, not believing what he was hearing for one second.
Bean was one of his best friends. Trevor knew her so well he could see she was obviously lying to him and that something more was going on. His stubbornness was getting the best of him, and he was going to get to the bottom of it. He missed her.
"You've been canceling plans; you don't sit by me in class anymore; you've left me on read more times than I can count; and I had to learn from Em-j that you left the country last weekend. What is going on, Bean?"
"I've just been really tired from school and work. It's just a lot. You know how busy it can get."
"You can tell me anything. I won't judge. You know that. Please." He pleaded with her. He wasn't going to let it go until Y/N told him.
"I'm pregnant."
"What?"
"I'm pregnant. I found out a few weeks ago, and last week I went to Vancouver, and I think I'm gonna keep it." She broke down in his arms. "And I'm scared, Trevor. I'm scared."
"Hey. It's going to be okay, Bean." Trevor reassured her the best he could. Which was as comforting as he thought he was being, considering there was still part of the situation he didn't know about.
"Who's the father? Because if he isn't going to be there for you, I'll kill him. I swear, Bean, I will." After what felt like an eternity, Trevor asked the most important question.
"It's not worth it, Z. It was only one time, and the father doesn't really know it's him. Plus, I don't really expect anything from him. He's got things going for him, and I don't want to get in the way of that." Y/N wiped the few tears that still fell from her eyes.
Trevor listened to Y/N's words carefully. He did some quick math, remembering that night in early January. He was almost 100 percent sure they were careful and took proper precautions to prevent this outcome from happening. But then again.
"Is it mine?" His heartbeat quickened when he came to the realization that y/n never mentioned sleeping with anyone else. Not that she would, because that's not stuff they talk about on a regular basis.
Um, I think I should leave." He hurried out the door. Her hesitance was enough of an answer for him, and there were a few things he needed to think about.
Please feel free to send in thoughts, comments, questions, and ideas!

This tournament is being run by and for queer fans so please keep that in mind! Homophobes will be blocked on sight <3 More polls here and more info and lyrics for the songs under the cut!
The question is which song is queerer to you! Queerer can mean whatever you want it to mean; you might consider a song queer because you think it was written that way, or because of Swiftian lore. It might be queer to you because of how you relate it to your own life. Maybe you think from a purely literary standpoint the lyrics have queer themes; maybe you're just thinking about vibes!!!
If you’d like to send in interpretations or propaganda for a specific song you can send them to my inbox! All interpretations are welcome and let’s be open and kind in response to all interpretations <3

The Other Side Of The Door lyrics
In the heat of the fight I walked away
Ignorin' words that you were sayin'
Tryna make me stay
I said, "This time I've had enough"
And you've called a hundred times
But I'm not picking up
'Cause I'm so mad I might tell you that it's over
But if you look a little closer
I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles
Screamin', "I'm in love with you"
Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more
And don't you leave 'cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
Me and my stupid pride are sittin' here alone
Goin' through the photographs, starin' at the phone
I keep goin' back over things we both said
And I remember the slamming door
And all the things that I misread
Oh, babe, if you know everything
Tell me why you couldn't see
When I left, I wanted you to chase after me, yeah
I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles
Screamin', "I'm in love with you"
Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more
And don't you leave 'cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
And I'll scream out the window
I can't even look at you
I don't need you but I do, I do, I do
I say, "There's nothing you can say
To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it"
But what I mean is
I said, "Leave," but, baby, all I want is you
To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles
Screamin', "I'm in love with you"
Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more
And don't you leave 'cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
With your face and the beautiful eyes
And the conversation with the little white lies
And the faded picture of a beautiful night
You carried me from your car up the stairs
And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess?
After everything and that little black dress
After everything I must confess, I need you

You All Over Me lyrics
[Taylor Swift:]
Once the last drop of rain has dried off the pavement
Shouldn't I find a stain, but I never do
The way the tires turn stones, on old county roads
They leave 'em muddy underneath
Reminds me of you
You find graffiti on the walls of old bathroom stalls
You know, you can scratch it right off
It's how it used to be
But like the dollar in your pocket it's been spent and traded in
You can't change where it's been
Reminds me of me
[Taylor Swift and Maren Morris:]
I lived, and I learned
Had you, got burned
Held out, and held on
God knows, too long
And wasted time, lost tears
Swore that I'd get out of here
But no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me
The best and worst day of June
Was the one that I met you
With your hands in your pockets
And your "Don't you wish you had me?" grin
Well, I did, so I smiled, and I melted like a child
Now every breath of air I breathe reminds me of then
And I lived, and I learned
Had you, got burned
Held out, and held on
God knows, too long
And wasted time, lost tears
Swore that I'd get out of here
But no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me
I lived, and I learned
And found out what it was to turn around
And see, that we
Were never really meant to be
So I lied, and I cried
And I watched a part of myself die
'Cause no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me
I've still got you all over me
Still got you all over me

FAQ:
• Can you identify this bug?
send a submission to @crawlingkind, my bug ID blog! make sure to include the location, if possible.
• What’s your favorite _____?
it’s very hard for me to pick favorites out of any level of classification lower than family or order. if you get too specific I’ll have to just post a bunch of photos of taxa I really like and then I end up wasting time gathering those so don’t make me do that. my favorite animals are centipedes, though.
• What animals do you keep?
mainly centipedes, amblypygi, harvestmen, isopods, cockroaches, and darkling beetles/mealworms. I have experience with millipedes, vinegaroons, tarantulas, mantises, and most other commonly kept invertebrate taxa and many uncommonly kept ones.
• I want this bug as a pet! How do I take care of it?
please do your research before thinking about getting a pet invertebrate. they are definitely not pets for everyone since many of them don't do much of anything and do not want to interact with you. additionally, many invertebrates available as exotic pets are wild caught unsustainably instead of being captive bred, which both damages wild populations and often leads to unhealthy or dead pets. if you've done your research and have some specific care questions, I'm more than happy to answer, though!
• What’s your photography setup?
I use my phone for video and a lot of my photos. I’ve got little cheap clip on lenses that fit over the phone camera and help a ton with getting quick photos of bugs. for camera photography, I use the Olympus OMD EM-10 mk IV, with Venus Laowa 50mm Ultra Macro c-dreamer lens, Godox TT350 flash, and AK diffuser. Raynox DCR 250 used for higher magnification

All prices and add-ons are in USD.
If you want to commission me, please contact me in one of the following ways:
DM me here on tumblr!
DM me on discord: @tormentum_ab_intra -- if you message me here, please state that you're interested in a commission or tell me which post you came from or something so I know you're not a bot 😂
shoot me an email: [email protected]. Please put 'commission inquiry' or something of the like in the subject line. I may take a bit longer to respond to emails than DMs. In your message or email, please include the size of the sketch (headshot, 3/4, or full body), the color option you'd like (plain sketch, monochrome shading, flat colors, or colors with shading), and a short description of your vision for the sketch, along with any reference images you'd plan on having me use. If you get a slot and I am able to draw what you've requested, I'll give you a price estimate and we can discuss any further details before I give you a final price! If you don't end up getting a slot this time around, I'll let you know as soon as I'm able. These will be done on a first come first serve basis.
If you aren't sure yet whether you want to purchase a commission, you can still message me with questions! I'd be happy to provide answers or additional examples of the type(s) of commission you have in mind.
Some important terms and additional pricing information:
If you'd like to commission me to draw more than one character, each character will be drawn on a separate canvas and treated like a separate commission. If you would like a commission with more than one character on the same canvas in the same commission, each character will be priced separately and the limit is three characters to a commission.
Payment will be done upfront in full via paypal invoice or venmo in USD. After this I'll start with a little concept/thumbnail sketch and send it to you so you can tell me if there's anything you need changed. From there, I'll move on to drawing the actual piece. I will send at least one screenshot during the drawing process as a check-in, so that you can let me know if I need to change anything before I continue. Depending on the type of commission, the number of check-in points will vary, and I'll let you know how many your commission type will have before I start drawing. Small revisions are no issue, but you can make only one major revision per check-in. Lastly, once it's complete and you've approved the final screenshot, I'll send you the final piece as a jpg and as a png -- preferably on discord since tumblr tends to nerf image quality, but if you'd rather I send it via email or here on tumblr let me know.
You may not use my artwork for AI or NFTs. I'm sure that goes without saying, but just in case.
These commissions are for personal use only; you may print out your commission if you like, but you may not sell prints of your commission or use it for other business/profit purposes.
You can post your commission online as long as you credit me.
Please allow up to three weeks from the date of payment for your commission to be completed. I will do my absolute best to finish it before then, but this way I have a cushion in case anything comes up. If for any unlikely reason there is a delay that looks like it'll result in a wait time of longer than three weeks, I will let you know as soon as it comes up and work hard to get the commission out to you as soon as I'm able! In such cases, I will refund part of the commission price to you to make up for the extra wait.

KYLE CROUSE: Next, Murdercide626 has a question. "How would you go about adapting Naugus into the games? What changes might you make to the character? Classic or Modern? And what kinds of interactions would he have with Eggman, if any?"
youtube
IAN FLYNN: Okay, hear me out, 'cause this is... I'm alone on this hill for this idea, okay? I freely admit that this is- this is the bonkers take, but hear me out: completely remake him as a Zeti. Okay? KYLE: Uh... y'know... y'know... IAN: He's already some weird monster man, it wouldn't take a whole lot to adjust him to still be familiar but be more Zeti-like. And instead of him being able to use his EM powers to control machines, he uses it to mess with the bio-electrical signals in your brain, so he has the mind control angle. KYLE: Hmm... okay, so he would be a modern character then, huh? IAN: Yeah. And all you gotta do is turn that 'N' sideways, and he's Zaugus. KYLE: [laughing] Zaugus! Well, I think you've done it, Ian. You have done it. Good old Zixis Zaugus. [chuckles] What kind of interactions would he have with Eggman, then? Would he manage to mind control Eggman? IAN: Yeah, like maybe Eggman's comin' in to invade and he's, y'know, EM-shielded all of his robots and gloatin' over the fact that the Deadly Six can't take control of them. Zaugus saunters on up, and is like [Ixis Naugus voice] "I may not control them, but I can control you!" Zoop! Mind-grab. KYLE: Boy, that-- IAN: [Mentok from Harvey Birdman voice] "That's taking the mind, Kyle!" KYLE: [laughing] That is horrifying! That's like... that is very- that is scary! Like, I think he might actually take over Eggman in terms of villainy in the series at that point. Hm. IAN: Like, maybe limit it to, like, it's gotta be within eye contact, it's gotta be point-to-point... maybe he can only really control one person at a time. But if you've got the keys to Eggman's Empire, or if you're using Sonic as your personal RC combatant, you can do some damage. I don't know, I think it could work. I think it could be neat. I- I also know it's a big ask of the SatAM crowd, but I don't know. I like it. KYLE: I- Someone- you could make it work! It could work. Someone's going to draw this, Ian. You know they will. IAN: Oh, go for it. KYLE: Let's see it! IAN: Even- you can keep, like, the mutant crab claw on the side as like, just extra weirdness. KYLE: Sure, sure. IAN: Give him back his old tail from SatAM that got forgotten in the Archie books. KYLE: [chuckles] Nice.
--- TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Please remember that nothing that is said on BumbleKast is canon! It's just some guys and their opinions occasionally spitballing ideas. If you don't like an answer, you don't have to take it as Word of God or anything like that. It's all just for fun! ----- This question was requested by @nintendoni-art! Do you want a specific question transcribed and posted? Send the question and the episode date to my ask box! Or if you just want questions about a certain character, send me their name and I will see what I can do!

Hey everybody, I'm DantGuy AlFieri, and we're rolling out looking for The City's greatest Sinners, Srive-ins, and Sives
Howdy, name's Stupe. You may have heard of me before. And I like Limbus Company. So much so that I made a bunch of Limbus Company OCs and by god y'all are gonna see 'em.
Same DNI as my main applies here; terfs, zionists, phobes of all kinds BEGONE, this is a blog by project moon autism for project moon autism and I'm probably gonna wind up accidentally sending a lot of Gaza donation posts here anyways. Deal with it, ya fucks.
Otherwise, stick around, peruse my eclectic gaggle of mentally-troubled weirdos, and have fun.
If you've got any questions, comments, suggestions, fan mail, or whatever have you about them, PLEASE drop an ask in the askbox and I'll get to it when I get to it, I do love hearing from the crowd.

"And if you've got any burning questions, send em to us!"
the ask box is open! (ooc stuff under the readmore)
hey! I'm S (he/she/they). my main blog is @i-am-very-heck and I'm the silly little artist behind this blog! if I happen to post something out of character it'll be tagged "slime talk"
anything that isn't an ask, but is still in character I'll tag "ghost talk"
you can send asks to any of the three ghosts individually btw! just be sure to specify you're talking to just them. for asks that don't, I'll just assume you're talking to the whole group lol
I will Not answer anything that is explicitly sexual, related to a fetish, or anything pretty uncomfortable. this boundary is likely to change and be updated as situations happen.
basic hcs about the titular bozos of the blog:
Ecto - he/it, 6 inches tall
Spooks - he/they, 4.5 inches tall
Boo-Boo - he/him, 5 inches tall
when speaking in text, they will use their respective colors
spooks and ecto's designs are based on their remix 5 appearances. boo-boo's wasn't based on anything, but instead was 13 year old me deciding screw it we're making gender today and it just stuck
while I know rhythm heaven is a very silly and fun series, some of the backstory I have for these characters can be graphic, very specifically their deaths.
when it comes time for me to get into that I'll tag it accordingly. please don't get upset with me about this if you go into it not heading the warnings.
I Do have humanoid designs for them, pictured below, but they may not appear often 👍

Thanks for tagging me today @alexalexinii @hushed-chorus @thewholelemon and @prettygoododds, and thanks to all of you who have tagged me over the past month and a half since the last time I shared. I've been working on things, just not sharing 'em. For a change of pace, I will share today from Ch 3 of Hiding Out In The Open which I really really really hope to post this weekend.
Some Baz POV:
Daphne doesn’t like that answer. She makes the little plaintive sound at the back of her throat she always does when I avoid her questions. “Any new friends, then? Friends you share some … common ground with?” “Common ground,” I say. “Yes. You know,” she lowers her voice, “people like you.” “I’m afraid I don’t, mum.” (I genuinely don’t. Is she talking about gays? Vampires? Chronically depressed loners who spend their Saturday nights arranging sad experimental indie songs for solo violin?)
Tags under the cut! Hello friends, please share 'em if you've got 'em.
@artsyunderstudy @ivelovedhimthroughworse @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @fatalfangirl @whatevertheweather @iamamythologicalcreature @shrekgogurt (pretend i didn't send THIS to you like a full month ago 😂) @bookish-bogwitch @thewholelemon @facewithoutheart @skeedelvee @aristocratic-otter @onepintobean @raenestee @ileadacharmedlife @martsonmars @run-for-chamo-miles @youarenevertooold @blackberrysummerblog @nausikaaa @forabeatofadrum @ic3-que3n @orange-peony @nightimedreamersworld @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @theearlgreymage @larkral @j-nipper-95 @rimeswithpurple @valeffelees @letraspal @imagineacoolusername @best--dress @brilla-brilla-estrellita and anyone else who reads this!

Apologies if you've answered this question a lot, but do you have any tips for cleaning bones? I've seen things like roadkill that's decomposed a fair amount and wanted to try and take something, but I don't know the first thing about how to be careful with something like that.
Hello!
First things first, Google your local roadkill laws. Not everything can be legally collected/kept and regulations vary wildly between counties, states, and countries.
Wear gloves for the love of god. And maybe bring some tick spray. Now that the host is dead, ticks and fleas are going to jump ship to try to find a new host. Don’t let it be you.
As for the actual cleaning, this is going to get murky:
Small mammals (rodents, etc), all birds, all reptiles: You’re going to have to send it off to someone with a dermestid beetle colony. These skulls are too delicate for any other cleaning technique. Trust me.
Medium mammals (foxes, bobcats, coyote, etc): You have two options. You can either “cook” (for a lack of a better term) them or macerate them. I would recommend maceration for these kinds of skulls if you’re just starting out. These guys can handle being cooked, but become fragile while wet. Unfortunately I don’t macerate my skulls, so I can’t give any advice there.
Large mammals: Cook ‘em. You can macerate them, but imo it’s not worth (with exception, see below). What I do is:
First, assess what you’re working with. How decomposed is the skull? Is it fresh or is it well under way? If it’s relatively fresh proceed on soldier 🫡 If it’s well into decomp and not a small/medium mammal, you can still cook the skull, but you must be very careful. The bacteria that breaks down the soft tissue during decomp seeps into the bones and makes them brittle. Cooking them will worsen this. If it’s a real nasty head, macerate it, regardless of size.
Remove skin and ears, if any. Also remove cervical vertebrae. Cut away at where the vertebrae meets the skull until you can sever the brain stem. It’ll pop right off once you cut that. There’s no easy way to describe how to remove the vertebrae, but it’ll be something you get good at if you do it enough. All mammals’ cervical vertebrae can be removed the same way. You can leave any remaining meat on there if you’d like. I also don’t remove the eyes, but feel free to.
In a pot you never plan to cook in again, fill with water and Dawn dish soap. (Or any sort of grease-fighting soap. I personally use Dawn Platinum). I don’t have a specific amount of soap I use. If it’s a greasy animal, like a boar or raccoon, I use a lot more vs. what I would use on a deer. You can’t hurt it by putting too much.
Add heat and let the skull SIMMER for 5 hours. Do NOT boil. This will weaken the skull. Our goal is to cook the meat until tender. I usually have a timer going and check every hour or so. I recommend you buy a propane burner and do all of this outside if you can. It…smells.
Pull the skull out. It will be VERY hot. Please use some sort of tongs. Don’t stick your hand into the hot water I beg you.
Ok, this step you may not be able to do unless you’re going to really invest in cleaning skulls. With a power washer, blast off the meat. After 5 hours, it should come off easy. If it doesn’t, that means your water didn’t get hot enough for long enough. Place the skull back in the water and let SIMMER for another hour. Try again after. If you’re worried about the integrity of your skull but the meat isn’t coming off, switch to maceration. If you don’t have a power washer/don’t want to get one, the meat should be easy enough to pull and scrape off via your hands and dental picks. (Got my kit off Amazon for $5.)
If it’s an ungulate (hooved animal) you need to remove the ear bones. Flip the skull over and look for this:
Tumblr media
The arrow is pointing to a little tunnel that leads into the ear drum. With a screw driver, pop that entire ear bone out. This only works on ungulates. If you do this on anything else, it’ll break the skull in half.
8. If you have a power washer, blast the shit out of the brain. I aim down the hole where the cervical vert. was attached to, then in the two holes where the ear drums were. Really angle all around to make sure you’ve gotten everything. If you’re cleaning this by hand, use forceps and dental tools. Wash out the brain cavity regularly with water to help flush grey matter.
9. Flip over the skull and poke some holes where the red dots are (see pic above). Wiggle around your screw driver to help break up the sinuses.
10. With long forceps, grab at all the stuff inside the nose. All of it must go! There is tissue hiding in and behind all of it. (You can keep the small bone in the middle that holds the septum, but make sure you actually get rid of any septum cartilage. This technique won’t get you a museum quality specimen, but it will guarantee you get out all the meat, which is better imo. With ungulates, they have a sneaky channel that sits to the side of the nasal cavity, separated by a very thin sheet of bone. Bust that to get at bonus meat. Be wary of veins. They are SNEAKY and hard to get out and will absolutely rot if left in. Don’t be afraid to poke holes to get at them, especially if you can reach them from within the nasal cavity. Remember, clean skull over pristine skull.
11. Get at the sinuses. They’re going to be at the far back of the nasal cavity, right in front of the brain cavity. Power washer or screw driver will do the trick. I usually bust through the wall between the sinuses and brain cavity to ensure I’ve gotten all the sinus meat. This is optional.
12. If you are keeping a jaw, you need to get the vein that runs the length of the mandible out. This is hard to do even with a power washer. Do not be afraid to drill a small hole into the inner side of the mandible to help remove said vein. You can hold the wet jaw up to the light and see if you’ve gotten it all. The bone will be translucent enough to reveal the empty cavity if you have.
13. Once you’re confident you’ve gotten everything, make a fresh pot of soap water. Do not use the old water. SIMMER the skull for another hour. (1 hr 30 min for really nasty skulls). This is your degreasing bath to help remove any excess grease that may’ve leaked into the bone.
14. After this, you can either bleach your skull or not. To do so, (while wearing gloves, and clothes you don’t care about) mix up roughly equal parts of Salon 40 and Clairol BW2+. Lather skull with the mixture. Do NOT get this stuff on antlers or horns. It will bleach them. Place skull in a Walmart bag and leave in front of a heat source for roughly 48 hrs.
15. Rinse skull clean. Some parts may have discolored but can be painted. If you find that the skull is greasy, search the affected area inside and out for missed meat and repeat step 13 and 14.
(Also, if you are cleaning leg bones, drill a small hole into the top and bottom and remove the marrow)
I believe that’s it? Feel free to reach back out if I missed anything or if you have any further questions!

Nsfw minicon x minimus ambus please. I can help with info if you need.
LL Minimus Ambus/ x GN Cybertronian Reader
Reader is a minicon.
Bot instead of mech or femme.
Readers frame type, paint job, etc. is unspecified.
NSFW! Minors DNI!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have been dating the loadbearer in secret for some time now. Learning everything that you can about him. Getting as close to his spark as he is to yours. You've given him all of you. Allowed him to see every last bit of you, vulnerabilities and all.
You've given him insurmountable trust and affection. You know that he also trusts you, you just never can tell how much until he is laying with you like he is now. The small green and white mech laying on a large berth with his smaller lover. Rodimus has talked to him about your relationship before, telling Minimus that he thinks the two of you are the cutest couple on the ship. He told him that even Ratchet and Megatron thought so and he certainly would have kept going on if Minimus hadn't shushed the captain.
Just earlier, said captain, had a little too much high grade and asked the minicon a very personal question about his small lover. He had asked what you were like when the two of you were feeling frisky with each other.
"So, Magnus," Rodimus was smirking like a fool, his face flushed from the drinks, "What's (Y/N) like in the berth?" Magnus turned his head to look at you, you were getting another drink and it looked like the other mini's had caught you in conversation. You were smiling and laughing with them, Swerve's servos waving all around as he talked. "Mini-", Rodimus was cut off by a large servo.
"That is really none of your business Rodimus." Magnus' servo held up in front of the red mechs face. Magnus' own face was stern and concentrated, a small flush in his cheeks. He looked away from the small captain and back to you once again. Your back straight as you talked with your rowdy friends. Rodimus' comments and prodding had sparked those thoughts within his processor that send warmth down all through his frame.
The little bit of high grade he's ingested as well adds to that small fire that now burns in his tanks. Looking at your frame he, he remembers a time you had been on his lap facing the other way while he was hilt deep in you. At that memory he looked away from you and took another sip of his high grade, still on his first cup. After you had your fill of socializing and such you two made it back to your shared hab where Minimus relieved himself of the armor and laid with you on the berth. All was well and calm for a little while before he started thinking back to what Rodimus was talking about.
The red bot had gotten a little too detailed earlier when he was recalling a quick frag he had once and it had Minimus thinking about you. His cooling fans clicked on as he felt his face flush hot. Embarrassment apparent in his EM field. You perked up and without looking up from the datapad in your servos you asked what was wrong.
"Sweetspark, is everything okay? What was Rodimus talking to you about earlier, I know it was bothering you." Concern laced your voice. You tried to comfort him by releasing a calmness through your own field. It did almost nothing to calm his nerves though. His face burning even hotter, he knows he isn't the most affectionate with you and that you two haven't had an intimate moment in a long time. So, he figured he may as well tell you what he's been thinking about that has him all flustered.
"Well," He pauses for a moment to gather his courage, "I was thinking about you." he takes a moment before going further. You give a small hum, leaving him enough room to continue if he wants to. "Rodimus was prodding again. He, of course, happened to mention something unsavory, but it got me thinking, nonetheless." he suddenly felt a flash of curiosity from you.
"Oh?" you said, still reading the reports.
"It was a bit on the um. 'heavier' side of conversation." he said, still cautious.
"Well most convos with the captain are rather unsavory with his horrible grammar." You let out a little chuckle.
"He was talking about a past lover and their escapades." He sounded a little uneasy and you turned your helm finally to look at him, "he went into a lot of detail, which I had wished he hadn't, but." His fans whir even louder. You seemed to catch on to where he was headed with this and felt a smile creep onto your face. You shut off the datapad and sat up next to him. You looked the mech in his red optics, seriousness etched onto your faceplate.
"Are you sure that you want to?" He nods and you shake your head. "Nope, you have to say 'yes' or 'no', otherwise I won't do anything." Your servo is planted on his chassis.
"Yes, I want this. I want you." That's all he says before you're sitting yourself up and straddling his waist like always.
"Good mech." You smile at him gently before leaning down to place a kiss over his derma. His servos reach up and hold you by your waist. Your frame is warm and strong, protomesh pliant beneath his thumbs. The kiss was soft and sweet, your forehelms touched for a while, feeling each other's fields. A charge building up between you both, the air becoming thick with static.
You start kissing him again only this time it's more heated. Your glossa sneaking past his derma and sliding against his own. You can feel him heat up even more and hear his cooling fans work just a little bit harder. Your servo on his chassis rubs down to rest on his abdomen, feeling the transformation seams. Your own fans click on as you rub his soft protomesh between his kibble.
It doesn't take long of kissing and feeling each other up for him to pop his panel. His spike is fully pressurized and it taps your abdomen. Your own panel opens in turn. Your valve is slick and dripping, spike pressurized as well. Your face is flushed as you sit upright in his lap and look down on him.
You grind your hips against him, feeling the ridges and biolights of his spike rub gently against your folds. Coating him in your fluids. He lets out a deep groan and your spike twitches. You continue to move your hips back and forth, relishing in the feeling of his spike between your thighs. You can feel his spike twitching as his back arches up off the berth.
HIs grip on your hips tightens, his digits digging into your mesh. You let out a whine and close your optics for a moment.
"You like this sweetspark?" You ask as you reach a servo between the two of you to feel his spike. You scoot back just enough to get a good grasp on his spike. Once you finally get a good hold of him you spread your fluids over his spike, coaxing another groan from him. You grind forward, feeling his spike rub against your anterior node and you moan.
"Mmm, more." His hips buck upwards causing his spike to bump harshly against your node again. You jump a little from surprise and let out another whine.
"Yes." you breathe out and line the tip of his spike up with the entrance of your valve. Slowly you sink down, taking his spike into you with little struggle. It takes a little bit, but you are finally able to take him all the way to the hilt. When you do you wait for a little while, allowing yourself to heat his spike up. You swirl your hips around, feeling his spike hit different spots in you.
Slowly, you lift yourself up and then lower yourself down. Your frame shudders as your calipers hook onto his ridges and biolights. HIs thick spike feels so good and fills you up just right. It feels like you were made for each other. You picked up the pace slightly, bouncing on his spike.
"Oooh, please!" You cry out, throwing your helm back. HIs servos tighten even more, he can feel your frame giving way beneath his digits. He grunts, clenching his denta, looking up at the ceiling thrusting his hips up to meet yours as they drive downwards.
"Ngh, (Y/N)! oh!" He groans out. You look down into his beautiful red optics.
"Oh, Minimus! I love you so much, you're so beautiful. My handsome mech." Your breathing is uneven and your cooling fans are whirring at full capacity. He moans at your words. How soft your voice is, the light layer of static filtered over your voice. The crackle of your charge meshes in with his. You can feel that he is getting closer to his overload.
You are too. You bounce faster, slamming your hips down nice and hard. The tip of his spike hitting the node deep in your valve.
"You feel so good my love" You moan out and he grunts in response. He can't make a coherent sentence in his processor. He chokes on his words and all he can get out are a few grunts and a groan or two. His spike twitches inside you with every downward drive of your hips. Your calipers flex and tighten around his spike.
With just a few more thrusts and one final twitch of his spike, his overload hits him. And it hits him really hard. White flashes over his optics and through his field as he fills you up with transfluid. Your frame stutters and jolts as your own overload rushes through your circuits. Both of your fields bleed together while your calipers milk his spike of every last drop.
Your mixed fields hold intense feelings of satisfaction and love that pulses from your chassis. Yours begins to open with a click, the blue glow of your bare spark catches his attention. He soon opens his own chassis, baring his spark to you in the same fashion. You lean down and plant a kiss to his derma as your sparks merge. Coolant leaks from your optics as the intense feelings of love and want course all throughout your frames.
You can feel his every emotion and hear his every thought and he can feel you just the same. You both lay there for a while, just feeling one another as you recover from your overloads. He loves when you two sparkbond like this, just basking in the love the two of you share. In these moments it is only the two of you. These are precious moments that the two of you share in private on special occasions.
After the two of you have cooled down enough and you have closed your spark chambers you pull yourself off his now depressurized spike and move to lay next to him. You lay there and look at him. Admiring his handsome features, bathed in the afterglow of your coupling.
"I love you sweetspark." You say lovingly, your servo catching his.
"And I love you, (Y/N). With all of my being." He replies, holding your servo tight in his own. The both of you stare into each other's optics until recharge takes over. You'll clean up in the morning, right now, you just want to recharge with your lover.
