how do you choose the colors for renders? theyre always so pleasing
i set my canvas' background colour to reflect the 'mood' im going for, usually a nice desaturated colour; it helps me see even the slightest shift in value
and then its a game of "eyeballing it" really, i make test palettes off to the side to get a feel for what colours Exactly i'd like to use, but i'm often just eyeballing based off of reference images
heres a compilation of my lamb renders (three are wips and ones finished lol forgive me on that) up next against my actual reference, i hope this helps give a visual for what i mean? all of the colours i use register as being my lamb, but what colours im using exactly differ based on the overall 'mood' im setting
this does mean that a lot of my renders tend to be very soft or look a little desaturated, but its nothing a little colour balance editing cant fix. plus; it means i can have more fun with lighting
i dont often do backgrounds, since rendering those is a pain, but when i do i also often have a few reference images to help me out. but it's also still a game of just eyeballing colours
^ another wip im working on that has a background, lots of trees so i figured out the general colours for them and now im going in with finer details (not too much tho, since they arent the focus of the piece)
#asks#jora art explaining#<- may as well have a tag since i get a few asks every now and then about my art process lmao#i dont mind btw :) i enjoy explaining how i do things#ty anon btw!! <3

For Christmas Infero gives Black Star the highest quality gaming/recording set up, with his own private recording room attached to his actual bedroom.
Blue Moon gets a private hunting labyrinth and all the supplies he needs to make a second cursed puppet. Plus large blankets to cover his moving nightmare puppets with.
RBB Computer gets a nanomachine body to operate when they feel like they need to, and upgraded hands.
Ravenous gets a enchanted storybooks that cast illusions on the room to match the pages. Mainly for reading lessons, but also for bedtime stories.
DH Earth gets a beginners’ magical tome (he asked NS Golden for present advice) and a gun.
Beast Maker gets a high-quality gaming computer designed to connect across dimensions, with a few new games installed like Ultrakill and Monster Hunter, and a bunch of giant pet costumes that will magically size themselves to fit any of his beasts he wants to put them on.
Ralph’s spirits get the ritual Infero and NS Golden have worked out to try to transfer them into a nanomachine body without ending them.
Ralph himself gets his personal own maintenance lab/bedroom.
Black Star and Blue Moon are surprised with their gifts. Christmas having been forgotten by them. Although they are very happy with what they got.
Blackstar incredibly happy to have a gaming setup that is completely private. Able to record and make funny talk about their own lives easily. Comfortably recording the Christmas events mostly out of excitement.
The hunting labyrinth brings Blue Moon much predatory enjoyment. I'm unsure who is wandering in there, but I assume it is TFs and BTB eclipses. Blue Moon is very happy to be able to make another puppet. Crafting one fairly similar but with a different color palette and wings this time. Still cursed, so the add-on of the blankets they are very thankful for. Now usually holding their curse to puppet underneath a blanket instead of in the open.
The computer is happy to have a body to move into. They were probably shift it to something similar like the creator's simplistic drones. Although with a screen face though. Like a protogen but less dragon face and more flat screen. Honestly just using it to hug his son for the first time.
Ravenous didn't even know Christmas existed. So when they suddenly get a gift they don't necessarily connect it to the event. just sort of taking it as a happy new object given. Ravenous is very happy about the magical books. Touching the moving holographic images with playful interest. Happy to read the stories as long as it gets the cool pictures to move. The liking all the bright lights when they fall asleep.
DH Earth is intrigued by the magical tome. Reading it with interest. She is absolutely pleased with the gun. Carefully testing it in her grip and would probably go outside to see how it fires.
Beastmaker is happy to have a gaming computer that can allow him to play with others without them coming to their dimension. Especially interested in all the games and their violence. As much as games like monster Hunter might scare their beasts. Especially happy to put their beasts in little costumes. The grotestor creatures somewhat nullified to a cuter state. Even if it's slightly creepy.
The ritual is a success. And in their new nanite bodies the spirits are happy to be free of Ralph. Ralph maintaining his personality and his more sentient traits. Even if it is still some robotic. The spirits will still likely follow Ralph around. Giving him input when he's acting a little robotic.
Ralph is happy to just have a lab. Even if the others do not come to him much for repairs. The fact that he can quietly tinker and has a bedroom suited for his size makes him happy. Even if it only shows slightly. This is a lab he can get locked into. Which is something he can get by.

Fountain pen ink bottle: $4 /ea
pocket sized sketchbooks or notebooks $2 (yellow & brown strathmore drawing/sketch are bundled together for $2)
The three larger sketchbooks are all $5 /ea
various mini canvas packs $3 / ea
acrylic paint pad $8 BNNU
mixed media toned paper pad $6
gel print and roller $8
tortilla pencil roll $2
cheapie brushes bundle (seriously these are CHEAP brushes, they aren't good quality. they're meant for watercolor or acrylic, and I keep cheapies on hand for things like applying masking glue, gesso, spattering, yknow...there's all kinds of reasons why you want sort of terrible brushes. the handles can mix stuff. any time you might end up destroying the good brushes, these are the sacrificial lambs!) $3 for all of them.
brushes box $14 BNNU
brush washer, paint keys (bundle), sanding sponges, letters stencil, clip-on cups to hold medium -- $3 /ea
golden open acrylics set BN swatched and tested like once, got some oil paints on tube but otherwise great. this is the traditional colors set of 6. $30
palette paper (white) BNNU $8
soho, grumbacher, & turner watercolor bundle: $15
marie's gouaches bundle and storage box I had them in $6
Lukas gouache bundle $25
QOR watercolor (remaining paint in squeezed out tubes (1 tube missing), and the paint poured out into a funky pink pill box with a cool skeleton on the front and washi tape decoration. the watercolors left to dry in the pill box rewet nicely. $15
union square watercolor pad $6
Filofax Original A5 size organizer in Dark Aqua WITH loads of interior pages - some bought from an online etsy shop (in rainbow colors, "QUESTS" instead of "to-do lists" and "heart" boxes, plus regular white or colored lined papers as well. it's stuffed full!) No actual calendar pages but does have numbered dividers with tabs. $130
pencils box $2
that white palette $3
art supply carrier tote bag thingy $10. it does have like, graphite, pastel smudging on the insides and all of that, but honestly you're just going to add more, right?
NOTE ON GOUACHES AND WATERCOLORS:
I will not do returns for dried gouache or watercolor in the tubes. Some of them will need to be reworked! (like I can hear one of the marie's gouaches rattling inside the tube, lol)
The fix to a dried out or drying out watercolor/gouache is incredibly simple: add water. You can cut open the tube to act as a cup, or cut them open and pour them out into a plastic paint cub or reused glass/plastic cup with lid. or right into a palette. add just enough water to fully soak the dried paint. wait a few days for it to soften up. add more water as necessary. if it's still a bit thick, you can add a drop of plain glycerin to the paint and mix it in to help it retain the moisture it's soaking in. this will also make it easier to rewet as you go on.
I will say the lukas gouaches all appear squishy still in tubes, the acrylics are perfect, and the sohos/turner seem mostly fine, but there's some they may need re-constituting and the marie's may have some dry ones as well. lastly, the QOR's don't have much left actually inside the tubes, so you might want to cut the tubes open anyways to paint directly from. they're nice paints tho, and i of course am bundling with where i poured all the paint into.
also: sorry the lighting is weirdly yellowy. I laid out a white curtain that I am not currently using to try and take pictures on and it's just...this whole house has terrible lighting in every room lol. i promise you those curtains are white.
these can't be shipped media mail, so just keep that in mind!

Ageless Beauty: Best Face Concealer: Easy Tips for a Youthful Appearance
One fine morning, you wake up, have a look in the mirror, and see an uninvited little beauty spot that has come to occupy its place over the night. No worries, we have all been there. That is where face concealer saves the day. Face concealer is like a magic wand that makes you look like having perfect skin.
Whether you want to conceal your dark circles, hide your spots, or even equal out your skin tone, face concealer is your best pal. In this article, we will not only conceal but openly reveal various face concealers and share some incredible tips and hacks that will help you achieve youthful flawlessness!
Choosing the Right Concealer for Your Skin Type
When it comes to deciding on the best concealer for your skin type, one size does not fit all the skin. Different skin types exist with their own needs; therefore, the search for the right one is deduced through trial and error.
Select an oil-free concealer that is non-clogging and non-shiny if you have oily skin.
For someone with dry skin, buying the best hydrating concealer will certainly ensure your skin receives the much-needed moisture; otherwise, it can look flaky.
The last thing to consider is your skin when choosing your concealer. You should choose a color that matches your complexion. If you have a light skin tone, opt for the best concealer for fair skin. Choose from the different online options among light, dark, and medium shades to suit your liking.
You can test products on your jawline to ensure a seamless blend and see if the concealer matches to your skin tone.
Different Types of Face Concealers for Different You
Now that you understand the importance of choosing the right concealer for your skin type let's explore the different types of face concealers available.
One popular type is the best color-corrector concealer. These concealers come in various shades and are designed to counteract specific skin concerns. For instance, a green color corrector can neutralize redness, while a peach color corrector can brighten dark circles.
Next is the oil-free concealer, which is ideal for those with oily or acne-prone skin. A good concealer for oily skin is lightweight and won't clog your pores.
Finally, there are hydrating concealers that include a touch of moisture to dry skin, making it look fresh and dewy.
List of the Best Face Concealers for a Flawless Look
Face concealers are like your trusted buddy when you wish to keep your facial secrets, like pimples or dark circles, hidden from everyone else. So, whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin, we have got something for all. Here is a list of the best face concealers for your unique needs.

Tips and Tricks for Applying Face Concealer
After you have selected the right concealer suitable for your skin type and considered the important factors, it is time to learn some pro techniques to apply face concealer. Here are some insider secrets for you:
Prep your skin: Before putting on the concealer, wash and moisturize your skin. This will result in a chic blank canvas for your concealer and make it glide on evenly.
Use color correctors: If you have skin concerns like redness or dark circles, apply the best color correctors first and then use concealer afterward. This will neutralize the discoloration and even out the base.
Choose the right shade of concealer: Choose the concealer shade that corresponds to your skin tone, or that is a bit lighter. This will improve your skin and hide all your mistakes. Mind you, a little of that goes a long distance!
Blend, blend, blend: The secret to concealer looking natural is blending. With a brush, a sponge, or even your finger, blend the concealer into your skin. Pat motions make the best for a flat result.
Set it in place: Use translucent powder to set your concealer, and it will stay in place the entire day. It won't crease and keep your makeup looking nice and fresh.
Don't forget about your under-eye area: Dabbing on concealer under your eyes instantly makes your face bright. Use a lighter one and in a triangular shape for best results.
Conclusion
Now, having mastered the secrets of the best face concealers, you are ready to use them in practice! Celebrate your looks of youth and discover which concealers, methods, and their mix work the best for you. Beauty has nothing to do with perfection; it is getting in tune with your own look and feeling comfortable in your own skin.

FAQs
1. Can concealer be used to contour the face?
Yes, concealer can be used for contouring by choosing shades slightly darker or lighter than your skin tone to create dimension.
2. Can concealer replace foundation?
While concealer can hide the problematic areas, it's usually not considered a replacement for foundation as whole-face coverage may not be achieved. You can meet the middle ground by finding the best concealer foundation.
3. How do I remove concealer at the end of the day?
Use a gentle makeup remover or micellar water to remove the concealer, and then wash your face with a facial cleanser to ensure thorough removal of all makeup.

How to Give Your Décor a Sustainable Makeover
Sustainability and being more eco-friendly are top priorities for many of us right now. Luckily, you don’t have to spend a fortune to make your life more sustainable, including your home décor.
The following are simple, practical ways you can cultivate a more sustainable interior design concept in your home for a greener and often healthier lifestyle.
Choose the Right Materials
The materials you choose for flooring, furniture, rugs, and other key items in your home can make for more sustainable design.
For example, reclaimed wood is lovely for flooring or making furniture. When you use reclaimed wood, you’re breathing new life into old materials and recycling them.
Bamboo is an excellent material to use in home design because it’s more sustainable than traditional wood. It’s one of the fastest-growing plants we have access to, and it doesn’t require the use of a lot of fertilizers or pesticides.
Cork is a sustainable material that can be made to feel and look just like hardwood and is increasingly being used for flooring.
When it comes to fabrics and upholstery, natural options like jute are eco-friendly. Jute is a strong material that grows quickly and is renewable.
Healthy Paints
If you’re going to be painting or varnishing anything in your home, choose products that have low levels of what are called volatile organic compounds or VOCs. VOCs can evaporate when they’re at room temperature and create harmful gas for your health and pollute the environment.
As you choose paints and finishes, look for products that specifically say they’re low VOC or non-toxic. Milk paint and water-based paints can also be sustainable solutions.
Swap Your Light Bulbs
One of the easiest and quickest updates you can make to your home that’ll make it more eco-friendly is to switch out your light bulbs. Get rid of your old bulbs for LED bulbs that use at a minimum 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. They also last much longer.
You can typically still keep your original lighting source and get the benefits of the new bulbs, so it’s not a major project.
Buy Vintage
We all tend to like finding a good deal on cheap, new furniture, but there are some advantages to shopping for vintage or antique options. First, it’s fun to find treasures, and you may actually save money over the cost of new items.
Old furniture tends to be well-made and stand the test of time, and you’re giving these items new life.
Consider Your Color Scheme
The colors you use in your décor can make a difference in your environmental impact.
If you use light colors, your home will reflect more light. That will help you need to use less artificial lighting compared to darker colors.
Plus, it may be easier to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home using excess energy if your color palette focuses on lighter options.
Use Window Treatments
Adding window coverings lets you control both heating and lighting.
Most of your heat is going to escape through your windows, and you may not have the money in your budget to upgrade your windows right now, so coverings can do the trick. You can keep the cold air out and the sun in by opening and shutting your coverings as needed.
Use Home Automation
If you use a home automation system like Nest, you can control your lighting and heating anywhere, improving your home’s efficiency.
Decorate with Plants
Having greenery in your home comes with a plethora of benefits. Plants and greenery can boost your mood and productivity. They can improve your immune system, and they’re good for the environment because they provide oxygen while filtering out harmful chemicals.
Your overall goals for sustainable design should be having a healthy environment for your family, reducing your reliance on non-renewable materials, cutting down your energy usage, and minimizing waste. You don’t have to achieve all of these at one time. Take small steps as you work toward a greener future, beginning with your home.

Choosing the Right Wood for Your Kitchen Cabinets
Your Chandler custom cabinets should reflect the decorating style and personality of your home, whether that means an elegant Victorian restoration, a cozy farmhouse cottage or contemporary urban apartment. Solid wood cabinets provide durability against dent-inducing scratches as well as moisture absorption; plus they're heavy-duty enough to stand up against daily use without suffering damage over time. Maple wood features a smooth grain with subtle variations that lends itself well to both traditional and contemporary decor. Like its cousin birch, maple accepts stain well without showing signs of uneven stain coverage like some other woods do.
Hard Maple
Hard maple is an increasingly popular choice because of its durability and shock resistance, as well as its stainability and ability to be cut easily into shapes. Selecting the proper wood for your kitchen cabinets is crucial if you want it to stand the test of time. Your air fryers and blenders will put undue strain on these items; therefore, their cabinets must be durable enough to withstand them. An effective way to test the strength of wood is to press your fingernail into it; if it dent easily, this indicates soft wood that won't stand up well against wear and tear.
Cherry
Cherry cabinets add an elegant traditional charm. Made of closed-grain wood that absorbs stain well and darkens over time with sunlight exposure, cherry is an exquisite choice for kitchen cabinetry.
Cherry can be more costly than painted maple, but its beauty makes up for any cost difference. Care must be taken to preserve its luster; sponges, strong cleansers or bleach should not be used on its surfaces. Oak is an excellent material choice to achieve an earthier aesthetic in kitchen design, boasting its distinctive grain patterns and wavey variations - ideal for farmhouse-style kitchens. Plus, oak stands up well to heavy use!
Hickory
Hickory wood is one of the strongest domestic varieties available, boasting higher shock resistance than oak and maple and making it suitable for busy kitchens and family homes alike. Furthermore, its distinctive grain pattern and hue add an earthy charm that complements rustic kitchen settings perfectly. Hickory cabinets make an elegant statement in any kitchen remodel, matching any color palette perfectly and can even be stained to match any decor style. Hickory is also ideal for modern kitchen designs as it looks great with various backsplash designs.
Birch
Birch wood is an economical option that's simple and straightforward to work with, creating an authentic look through staining techniques. Plus, its durability makes it the ideal choice for kitchen cabinet construction.
If you prefer the look of oak, 1/4 sawn oak is a fantastic way to showcase its grain. Although more expensive than its counterpart birch, 1/4 sawn oak will stand up better against everyday wear and tear in your kitchen environment.
Oak
Hickory wood offers superior durability when it comes to kitchen cabinet construction, resisting moisture damage and nicks with ease - perfect for creating country classic looks in any room of the home! Plus its natural colors add character and charm.
Maple wood is an adaptable material, easily stainable and painted. Its light coloring accentuates its grain and complements any style. Birch shares similar traits but with more contemporary characteristics - its closed grain has porous pores which allow stains to absorb quickly into its pores.
Character cherry wood boasts an appealing reddish brown hue with close grain texture, giving off an earthy aesthetic in any kitchen space. When exposed to sunlight, its color deepens gradually, giving an aged rustic charm. While slightly more expensive than other hardwoods, character cherry is still durable enough for staining beautifully and holds its color well over time.

Lucidus Characters Redesign/WIPS
Sebastian Cooper
Originally much skinnier. Arguably he's still a little on the slimmer side, but i mean the guy used to be really skinny back when i was using bad anatomy.
Skin is now darker. Originally he was on the lighter side, but while testing out colors, the darker colors just ended up sitting next to each other really nicely.
Hair is longer. Originally it was cut short; why? Idk; could have been bullying or a hate crime or his dad being a racist prick or an emotional meltdown, I have no idea, I never got that far. Ultimately, in the end, my brain leaned more towards his Native Choctaw roots and it felt wrong to let it be cut short. Plus, after playing around with it, his thick mane just looks nicer.
Hair is now dark brown. Originally he had jet black hair with blue streaks. But next to Cadence and Jacob, who also had black hair, it wasn't very distinct from them. I mAY give him streaks again at some point? But this works as a general default for now.
Has a purple/brown/yellow/blue color palette. Originally it was blue and white, but that left him indistinct from Jacob, and especially considering they're dating/best friends (depending on the AU) they just blended together too much. So although only the purple is seen here right this second, I envision gold/yellow and shades of blue being used later down the road.
d i m p l e s. He didn't originally have them, but I felt compelled, and they oddly worked for him. (Especially once I figured out how to do it properly.
He used to have a kind of skaterboy/grunge look to him; now that's generally restricted for performances, and his casual clothes are a lot more down-to-earth.
Jacob Rosario
Boy beefed up. I mean it, even ignoring my inability to draw male anatomy, the guy was meant to be a LOT skinnier than he is now. #CertifiedTwink. Ultimately, because what he does outside of his schooling is very physically taxing, and his naturally low body temperature making a lack of muscle/fat content dangerous, I decided it only made sense for him to have built up a little bit of muscle. He's still a little on the lean/athletic side, but his shoulders and chest are much broader.
HEY LOOK I FIGURED OUT HOW TO GIVE HIM A MASCULINE JAWLINE. HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL ANYMORE. I WIN.
Hair is a little looser. Admittedly this was mostly the result of his original hairstyle looking too close to Yun Li's from People are Weird, and I had to do something else to give them a visual distinction. It also gives him something of a visual parallel to Cadence (who I'll show off when i have a sketch I'm satisfied with).
His clothing style overall used to be universally business/casual, since he was originally inspired by Akechi from Persona. But ultimately, considering the shift to him dating someone a lot more laidback, I decided to leave his business clothing to school/the court room, and letting his casual clothes be a little more athletic, stylish and comfortable. It's not uncommon to see him in turtlenecks or those shirts with the light necks and no sleeves--I FORGET WHAT THEY'RE CALLED BUT YOU KNOW THE KIND.
they're boyfriends your honor
#lucidus#lucidus characters#sebastian cooper#jacob rosario#i will draw them together one day#as soon as i figure out poses with more than one model on designdoll

Modern Kitchen Ideas 2023
A modern farmhouse kitchen can be a lot of fun to design. Whether you’re doing a remodel or building a new home, there are many different ways to get the farmhouse look you want.
One of the most common farmhouse kitchen ideas involves using cabinets in a decorative way. Glass-front upper cabinets and open shelving can be great for displaying heirloom pieces or other decor elements.
Key Elements
The modern farmhouse style blends contemporary and rustic design elements to create trendy kitchens that can also stand the test of time. The enduring appeal of this style allows homeowners to mix and match antique, vintage, and brand-new items without breaking the flow or feeling overly dated.
Rugs with a natural material or pattern are an excellent way to bring texture and warmth into a modern farmhouse kitchen. Cow-hide rugs, for example, bring a rustic vibe, while indigo-colored rugs add color without overwhelming the space.
Wide wood plank flooring is a classic choice for a farmhouse kitchen, but there are plenty of options to choose from that will work with your design. Herringbone and chevron designs, for example, will add flair and personality to your floors.
Light gray cabinets are a perfect option for a modern farmhouse kitchen in 2023, as they will complement various countertops and backsplash designs. They also offer a clean, fresh look that can easily complement any color scheme.
Fusion of Contemporary and Rustic Design Elements
When blending contemporary design with rustic elements, you can bring a fresh new look to your kitchen space. You can easily mix and match a wide range of styles to create a truly unique look that will stand out in your home.
For example, you can combine a white modern farmhouse palette with elements like wood beams and exposed beadboard to add an authentic rustic feel to your kitchen space. These key elements are easy to incorporate into your remodel in 2023 and they’re sure to create a kitchen space that feels warm, inviting and rooted in history.
A few touches of color can also elevate your modern farmhouse design. You can pair an all-white palette with a soft green to keep it on the more neutral side, or paint your cabinets a vibrant hue to inject some personality into your space.
Wood Floors
Wood floors are a timeless choice and can add a sense of warmth to a modern farmhouse kitchen design. They are also extremely durable and easy to keep clean.
They are also warmer and softer underfoot than tile, which is a plus in a kitchen where people spend a lot of time on their feet. They are also more resilient to spills and scratches than other flooring options, such as carpet or laminate.
Wood floors come in a variety of colors to match the look of your home. Rich browns, whites and grays are all popular choices.
Pantry Door
One of the most important aspects of a pantry is its door. Without it, it’s difficult to pull items out of the shelves. In addition, opening a single door can be awkward or even uncomfortable — and that can make it harder for people to use the pantry.
You can choose from several door designs to suit your needs. For example, if you’re working with a narrow kitchen or reach-in pantry, you can try pocket doors that slide into the wall instead of opening into the room.
This is a great solution for creating a custom farmhouse look without compromising the space. However, you do need available wall space and depth.
Another pantry door idea is a frosted glass option that provides light but still keeps the contents of the pantry hidden. Frosted glass also provides a clean, sophisticated look that can help you differentiate your pantry from the rest of the house.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Kitchen Remodeling Costs Worth it?
Remodeling your kitchen can make your home look better, but it can also come at a high cost. The cost of remodeling your kitchen might seem prohibitive.
There are many factors that you need to consider when deciding whether or not remodeling your kitchen is a good idea. First, consider the home’s value. You will need to make sure that the remodel costs are covered in your sale price if you intend on selling your house soon.
Another factor to consider is the cost of the remodel itself. The cost of high-end kitchen renovations can reach $50,000. It is important to make sure that you have the finances in place to cover them. The cost of remodeling your kitchen may not be a major concern if you don’t plan to sell your house.
You should also consider how often you will use your new kitchen. It is important to consider how often you will be using your kitchen, especially if you are a frequent host or cook large meals. If you don’t plan on using your kitchen much, you might be able to get by with a more minor, less expensive remodel.
Here are some ideas to help you get started, if not sure where to start.
Decide whether you want to build new cabinets or replace existing cabinets. A kitchen remodel will cost more if you buy new cabinets. You will also need to get rid of all existing cabinets if you want to replace them all.
You should choose your colours carefully. Choose carefully when choosing your colours. They can impact the overall appearance and feel of your kitchen.
Decide if you are going to upgrade the flooring. If you plan to sell your house soon, you might want to leave the flooring alone. A freshly painted concrete slab may give off a fresh, modern feel.
You might consider adding storage space. Add cabinets, drawers, shelves or other storage options to your kitchen.
Lighting is important. Installing recessed lights above the stove, sink, and refrigerator will brighten up the dark corners of your kitchen.
Add Appliances. Energy consumption can be reduced by replacing an old fridge with a modern model. It can also boost the resale value of your home.
Make sure you include enough electrical outlets. Most kitchens have just one or two outlets. This means that you won’t have an outlet to plug in your blender, mixer, or any other appliances.
Do not forget to look at the water lines. Hidden behind walls and floors are water pipes. Before beginning any work, ensure you check for leaks.
Eliminate clutter. If your kitchen is already cluttered, you can organize it. Take out anything unnecessary.
Get estimates from several contractors. Get quotes from several contractors.
Look into financing options. Many homeowners choose to finance their kitchen remodeling projects. This way, you avoid paying interest while making payments.
Make a plan for how long you will be living in your home. You should invest more in your kitchen the longer that you are there.
Keep track of each detail. You can keep track of every detail by using a notebook.
Plan ahead. It is important to plan ahead. This will make the entire project easier to visualize.
Is open-concept cooking in fashion?
Open-concept kitchens are still popular because they offer a modern look while allowing easy access to all kitchen areas. For many reasons, some homeowners choose to return to more traditional kitchen designs.
An open-concept, noisy kitchen is one reason. Another reason is that open-concept kitchens can be very noisy.
For families that want to cook together, open-plan kitchens can be a great option. Open-concept kitchens can prove to be a problem if your children like to work in the kitchen, and not listen to their parents. Before you make a decision about an open-concept kitchen design, weigh all the pros and cons.
How do you design a kitchen renovation?
Since every kitchen renovation is unique and requires a different approach, there is no right or wrong answer. But, it is important to get a clear understanding about your needs and goals before you begin designing a kitchen.
This might involve meeting with an architect or professional designer for ideas and measurements, or creating a moodboard or inspiration folder that includes images of kitchens that you love.
Once you have a sense of what you want, it is time to start planning your budget. You must also create a timeline for your kitchen remodel to ensure you stay on the right track and avoid any surprises.
Working with an architect or professional kitchen designer will allow them to take charge of the design planning. But it is still important that you clearly define your goals and requirements from the beginning. This will ensure you are satisfied with the final design and it meets all of your expectations.
You should measure your kitchen space in terms of its overall area and the dimensions of the individual areas such as countertops, cabinets, appliances and windows. It would be best if you also noted any existing structural elements that cannot be removed, such as support beams or load-bearing walls. If possible, it can be helpful to create a floor plan layout so that you can visualize how the new design will come together.
An inspiration folder or mood board is a great way to narrow down your ideas for kitchen design. Pinterest is a wonderful resource for finding inspiration and images of kitchens you love. You can also tear out pages from magazines, collect fabric swatches or paint chips, and save any other visual elements that inspire you. This will be a valuable reference as you begin planning your renovation.
Once you have an idea about how you want your kitchen to look, it is time to think about the budget. What budget are you willing and able to spend? What are your must and desirable-to-haves? When are you ready for the renovations to begin? These questions will assist you in the planning process.
You will need to consider the cost of materials, appliances and countertops if you are renovating your own kitchen. Consider the duration of the project as well as any disruptions to your everyday life. Contractors will most likely give you a detailed estimate, which includes all costs and a time frame.
To keep the project on track and avoid unexpected delays, you need to set a timeline. Once you have a good idea of when each step of the process should occur, you can start to put together a more detailed schedule. To avoid any unanticipated delays, you should be flexible about your timeline.
This guide will help you to create a clear plan for your next kitchen renovation. This will help ensure that the final result is everything you’ve been dreaming of and that the process runs smoothly from start to finish.

bored rn so here's highlights from my concept art folder
i can't tell if ciel is majorly different but this is definitely beta colors for nila; ig she was more purplish and light colored, and originally SHE would be the one with dual colored hair
sage color tests! i think sage itself is a very greenish-gray color so sage's color scheme reflected that. i know this should be a mix of me and my buddy (purpleheartemoji) playing around with colors
oriole! it was my buddy (purpleheartemoji) who designed him first i think, and funnily enough he wouldve been a blonde lmao. i didnt wanna rely on a brown/orange color scheme TOO much bc the pyrrhics are all meant to have a little gray in their color scheme; granted, i redesigned him again later but the vibes were There
alpine i wanted to definitely be a boy since i didnt wanna imply that pink souls were only female, but i also didnt want him to just look like a male rose. i dont think he went through MAJOR design changes since i knew exactly what kind of vibe i wanted to go for, but it's hilarious to see how many color palettes i used to make him
+ bonus slight color changes i did for this silly image lol
aureolin! once again having the gray + yellow color scheme, though it seemed to definitely take us a bit to figure out how to do it lol. i'm pretty sure my buddy (purpleheartemoji) also designed him too, but it took both of us to figure out colors
amethyst! i'm very attached to her arc 2 outfit but was constantly blanking out with arc 3 designs. i think i'm happy with the end result (right side of the image) when using her arc 2 outfit as a basis
here's some color tests on cobalt's prosthetic! i was wondering if he should get a paint job at some point, but ehh, i'm not really happy with any of these so far. i havent revisted recoloring his arm since buut anything can happen
here's the base sketch for oriole's eventual redesign! i think i've definitely gotten better at my ms paint concept art style :]
catching up to the present, here's tarum! there's def a few more outfit tests i did in pen + paper, but the file here was meant to be about his color palette
it was very difficult to find a solid definition of "indigo", but i managed to find two that i felt were pretty pleasing! the top palettes are desaturated from the original pic, oop. also, i was debating on tarum's skin tone since he's based off of nox rainbowflare from ETSS, who has albinism but lives in an area that worships the sun. my friend (yellowheartemoji) suggested a darker skin tone since it let their cool colored outfit pop out better :]
i asked for color opinions in a discord server i'm in for tarum, but since colors are subjective i tried to help by putting the cool spectrum (plus violae...?) into one file. i introduced them as "blue, indigo, cool purple, warm purple", and they suggested warming up violae's palette to be a little more distinct from amethyst :o
here's a test on tarum's weapon! very simplistic to draw in ms paint but i wanted a full reference anyway
aaaand that's it!

Part of the difficulties I have with just design in general being “okay how can I make this character mine and not accidentally or unintentionally look like someone else’s” but it’s just a forever spiral of ‘everything has been done more or less.’ It’s gunna look like something to someone at some point. Nothing can be done other than just having your own style and differences/nuances to go “ya that’s mine.” Plus just always nice to see people coming together with similar ideas and talking to one another and gushing over similar interests. But as far as design I try to picture them by face first then down. From how do they smile to their personality or vibe I want to portray. From there it’s about body then potential abilities/skills/career whathaveyou then build up a mini background then expand. Sometimes a world is created around them or they are just another addition to something I’ve already made. Sometimes I get a head of myself and think of too many things at once and I need to do better at writing them down rather than keeping it in my head and eventually losing it. XD the hazards of memory.
It would have to be Vivienne. I love vivienne. She’s that nice brain rot I can fall back on and indulge in different alternate universes while main bigger main stories and hers are taking a back burner. It’s just nice to have a very freestyle and adaptive character to bounce around with.
My most difficult character to draw or write would maybe have to be Alraeon. He’s got a vocab list and the brains that I don’t have and imagined him having.
Art or talking to friends to splurge ideas with or listen and also media usually to like movies or games usually help light a fire in me to do stuff.
Dr. Lancet, he is a doctor that runs his own clinic in the lower ends of the city with affordable services for those in need and living in poverty. I created him maybe two or three years ago. He was actually an adopt and his design was a bit different. He has a glass like faceplate and slightly different structure and color placement but still same palette.
6. Lancet usually goes thru difficult decisions as a medic/nurse and doctor all in one from how to save a person’s life from human to alien to running his own business and even having interpersonal relations with some unsavory patients that test his patience too. He’s got his own baggage and sins but he is rather blunt with a soft heart at least even if he tries to hide it under a reserved mask. Hard to express without a face but words and hand gestures do get his points across. But he will face difficult things unflinchingly and just soldier through them like a chore.
7. Either his face or his legs. He sounds like a horse coming down some hallways with the way his feet are shaped. Lol
8. I want him perceived as not only as a caring individual who does good work but someone who has some demons that he can’t face alone. For all the help he does he tries to mask a lot of his pain and self hatred. He’s not a very sharing guy.
9. Well 8 kind of answered that but I would say his lack of openness and maybe a bit of a control freak about his business and the way some operations are done since he was programmed to do things a certain way. He is capable of learning a new method by research or on the fly from someone too. He may argue with the latter throughout on effectiveness but if it works it works then it’s just added to his options list.
10. What would be your oc’s favorite ice cream?
-dr. Lancet can’t eat ice cream but if he did he’d probably like vanilla.
I tag: @squigglysquidd @wafflesrock16 @dexianylilia @cold-neon-ocean @generation1point5 @relay314
Anyone else is more than welcome to partake if I haven’t tagged you.
Thought I’d try a little something but also just answer or reblog and/or store and such. Thought I’d start a oc questionnaire and world building train.
What are some difficulties you had/have when coming up with designs and lore for your character vs now that you find yourself may or may not be struggling on? Could be personality to design traits/style to progression in story. Anything.
Favorite junk food oc of yours you like to indulge in. Why?
Least favorite/most difficult?
What gets your creativity juices bubbling?
Introduce an oc. How and when were they created?
If said oc above was given a difficult situation how do they handle it?
What’s the most notable feature about your oc?
How would you like your oc to be perceived?
What’s a flaw of theirs?
And finally…just tag people. And come up with a random number ten question.
That’s the skeleton above.

Turning Park Jimin on was a delicious challenge for you.
When you first began dating, all it took was a ‘come over’ text, and he’d be there in 5 minutes flat regardless of the fact that he lived 15 minutes away.
Now, a few years and a marriage under your belt, it took a bit more.
That’s not to say he wasn’t the same insatiable man you met at university; even after all these years Jimin could easily go 3 or more rounds a night.
But really getting him riled up, getting him hard and wanting and desperate for you was another thing. Sometimes, you just wanted him to come home and take you right against the kitchen counter, so turned on he couldn’t even make it to the bedroom.
You’re determined to win that challenge today.
To be truthful, the day was terrible for you, and you were seeking release in the form of your husband dicking you down until you were speaking another language. You were desperate to let loose, push aside the emotional and tender sex that seemed to be more commonplace in the bedroom recently (and you enjoyed equally) but today you needed to be treated like an absolute harlot.
The idea rolled through your mind while you were busying yourself with housework, laundry and dishes. Options of how to get your husband to take you on the floor, rip your clothes off, make you beg for more, simmered in your mind and made the low flame in your stomach burn. Lingerie could do the trick, Jimin definitely liked to see you swathed in delicate lace or creamy satin. You had a nice deep red set that was dying to be used and discarded on the floor.
It came to you as you set your speaker to play some music as you flicked around the house. Jimin’s sweet voice filled the rooms, causing you to pause as shivers raked your spine.
His music. There was always something Jimin loved about having his music on in the background of your sex that made him work harder on you, fuck you deeper. Maybe it was narcissism at its finest, but who were you to complain if it benefitted both of you.
You discarded all thoughts of cleaning the rest of the house as you stalked towards your bedroom closet, gathering the red bustier and panty set, with matching garter belt and stocking clips. You purchased it rather spur of the moment, a huge sale at your favorite boutique, and you wanted to save it for something special.
It appeared the special moment was now.
You took care to curl your hair, a gentle wave with not too much product. Jimin loved to tug his fingers through your locks, and grip them in a ponytail as you sucked his cock. Any product would unfortunately get in the way. Makeup was minimal, a dash highlight on your cheeks and inner tear ducts, light pink lip stain on your lips. Jimin had been the test subject of many a lipstick, as you determined to find the most blowjob-proof one. Needless to say, none of the lipsticks were 100% solid, but it was the best time Jimin ever had as a test subject. You preferred to stick with the stains, easier cleanup for the both of you.
You complete the visual as you swap your grubby cleaning day clothes for blood red lace lingerie, smirking at yourself in the mirror. The cups of the bra molded against you, encasing your tits perfectly. Jimin would surely lose his mind. The panties were simple lace, and you had the inkling that they would not remain intact tonight. Jimin’s propensity for literally ripping your knickers right off you was legendary. But that’s what you wanted, isn’t it? You wanted your husband to be absolutely feral for you.
Step two of your plan was now underway as you slipped onto your bed, perfectly made now, and snapped sultry photos. You ensured your cleavage and smooth legs were in the shot, a finger on the mouth. You took a few more, exposing more and more of your body.
me 2:56 pm- hi babe what you up to?
mini 2:56 pm- baby!!!! Not much, just waiting for hobi to get back from lunch so we can practice this new choreo.
Mini 2:57 pm- what about you? besides being the world’s cutest wife :)
Me: 2:57 pm- oh not too much. I did our laundry and cleaned up the house a little. Now im just relaxing and missing my babe :(
Mini 2:57 pm- baby :( i’m sorry. I should be home in a few hours okay! I’ll order in pasta from your favorite place to make up for it
Me 2:58 pm- well, i was sort of hoping you could make up for it but… i don’t want pasta
Mini 2:58 pm- you don’t? What do you want? Pizza?
Me 2:58 pm- [picture attached]
Me 2:58 pm- no, I want you to fuck me until I can’t see straight.
Mini 2:59 pm- oh fuck
Mini 2:59 pm- baby you’re playing a dangerous game, teasing me like this.
You nearly had him, he was sniffing at the bait and soon he’d bite and you’d reel him in. You sent the next picture, showcasing your tits with one cup pulled down, nipple on display.
me 3:00 pm- you mean this kind of game?
mini 3:00 pm- christ
mini 3:00 pm- fuck babe, you’re gonna make me pop a boner at dance practice. You know I can’t come home for a few hours.
me 3:00 pm- hobi still gone? Go to the bathroom and i’ll send you a video.
mini 3:01 pm- holy fuck asdskadj okay
Time for the pièce de résistance. Ensuring the speakers blasted ‘Serendipity’, your husband’s full length solo, you clicked the record button and filmed your hand sliding down to your clothed core, rubbing over the mound with a rough hand. You breathed heavily, sighed, mewled a bit.
“Daddy,” you gasp. “Come home.”
You end it with a hand sneaking under the band and insertion of one finger. Leave him not just wanting more, but rabid for it. The video file is sent before you've even pulled your fingers from their spot resting on your clit.
Minutes passed, you were sure he was watching. The man lived for your exhibitionism.
mini 3:06 pm- you better have your hands behind your back and be on your knees when i get home, little one. In the middle of the bedroom floor.
mini 3:06 pm- i want you to listen to the music and think about me fucking you. Think about how i destroy your little cunt so good.
mini 3:07 pm- but don’t you dare touch yourself. Your pussy is only mine to play with, you got that?
me 3:07 pm- yes daddy
mini 3:07 pm- good. I’ll be home soon.
Congratulations, you smirk to yourself in the mirror's reflection across from you. You’ve won the grand prize. Please make sure you collect your prize from the man with the raging boner.
You idly realize that Jimin hasn’t told you when he’ll be home. You know that on any normal day he’d be home at 5:30. But was he leaving early? Could you chance it? As much as you wanted to disobey and face his delicious punishment, he also could just as easily punish you by not letting you cum at all. And the chances of that type of discipline tonight was high; Jimin would surely make you pay for teasing him at work by exacting torturous ache the same to you.
You’re spinning the pros and cons of preparing yourself now or later, when you are given your hasty answer by the sound of keys jingling in the front door. Your heart rate spikes dangerously, feeling like the muscle would force the blood out of your veins with the pressure.
You squirm off the bed and descend to the floor on your knees, resting back on your heels, and holding your hands behind your back. You lower your head to the floor, knowing Jimin loves it when you avoid eye contact until he tells you when and where to look.
His footsteps are heavy, slow and torturous because you know that he knows that you’ll be on the very edge of your sanity. The warmth in your belly is torched with tinder and starter and is flaring high. Jimin’s simple presence, just like this, is enough to get you to an incredible high. Nothing brings you to your knees faster than when he turns from your sweet, adorable and gentle husband into the sadistic and powerful dominating owner of your body and soul.
It takes 5 deep breaths from your belly before you hear Jimin enter the bedroom. He’s not saying a single word, but you can hear his soft footsteps on the hardwood floor. Your knees are aching at the pressure of the hard floor, but you ignore it. You’d ignore cauterizing wounds for the man hovering above you if he asked.
You’re trembling, you notice. Your thighs are quivering ever so slightly and the grasp on your hands behind you is weakening. You grip harder, determined to maintain perfect correct form.
Jimin is frustratingly silent. He walks around you, and you feel his eyes rove your body intently, as if looking for fault or reason to punish you. He seems pleased when he finishes his rounds, standing right in front of you.
“Look at me,” he states with authority, but his tone is gentle.
You finally tilt your head up to gaze at your lover and nearly gasp at the sight. Jimin is, on an average day, the most ethereally beautiful man you’ve ever seen. Today, he looks as if he descended from heaven mere minutes previous. His pink hair is pushed back, eyes darkened with desire, and wearing the tightest shirt you’ve ever seen, making his toned dancer’s body ripple under the cotton. Tight sweats that leave nothing to the imagination about what he’s packing between his thighs sit low on his hips and you spot just a hint of his lower abdomen, the v line of his adonis belt, and you’re sure you’re drooling.
“Look at me,” he corrects, a smirk on his face. Your eyes snap to his own again, and he winks at you.
“Have you been a good girl for daddy?” He asks, and it feels like a loaded question.
You play it coy. “Yes, daddy.”
He stands still in front of you, hand stroking his face as he watches you. His eyebrow arches.
“Are you sure? You have done nothing to upset Daddy? Nothing at all?” His voice becomes teasing, and the smirk on his features is sinister.
You bite your lip. “I sent Daddy a video of me, touching myself to his music.”
“That’s right, angel,” he murmurs and circles you again. You feel like his prey before he comes in for the kill. “You made daddy leave practice early. Don’t you think that’s not being a good girl?”
“No, I did wrong.”
“I’m glad you agree,” he murmurs. “I’m gonna make you regret getting Daddy hard and horny at work.”
He places his hands on your shoulders and you shiver. His hands are smooth, warm. You love the way you feel the cold steel of his wedding ring pressed to your skin, a tangible expression of his love and loyalty.
“Stand up,” he directs. You’re quick, thankful to be off stinging knees. He lets his hands glide down your back to meet at your clasped hands, pulling them apart and turning you to face him.
He threads his fingers through your hair and pulls you close, sealing your lips to his. His lips are soft and taste of chapstick, a hint of sweat, and something just so simply Jimin that is addictive. He’s gentle and tender in the kiss, the kind of kiss a husband gives his wife. It speaks miles beyond the simple action, and you chase it, revel in it, knowing it’s the last time he’ll be gentle tonight.
He breaks from the kiss, touches your nose gently and winks. It makes your heart flutter in your chest.
The control seeps back into his face; it's physically present in the tight gaze of his eyes and the coolness of his impassive features. It’s a stark opposite of who just kissed you, and you’re breathless at the sudden change.
“Gonna spank you with my belt, baby,” he murmurs. A hand slaps hard against your ass, surprising you and making you squeak out loud. “Lean over my desk like a good little slut.”
You obey immediately, jerking your body towards his grand oak desk. It’s gorgeous dark wood that matches the decor of your room perfectly and makes for a delicious spot for your sexual proclivities without being obvious. As much as Jimin wanted a sex swing, you would not cave to that.
You bend to fold your body over the desk, gripping the edge and pushing your hips back to allow for more access to your husband. The speaker system by your bed plays music, and you recognize the opening chords as one from his latest album with his six best friends. A smile slips to your face as the volume turns up, quiet enough you can talk, but loud enough it’s noticeable. His smooth, melodic voice is ringing through your bedroom and through your entire body.
He stalks in behind you and rubs at your soft globes.
“Mmm, you look so pretty in this,” he compliments. “You know I love seeing you in red.”
You turn your head to gaze at him, smiling. “That’s why I bought it, Daddy.”
“Good little bitch,” he sighs.
As expected, he rips the underwear from your body with one clean pull. You’re always surprised by the action. He never gives warning. Your eyes follow as the useless fabric soars towards the ground.
“Much better.”
He moves away from you, walking towards the closet. You train your eyes forward, keeping locked on the wall ahead of you, rather than staring. Jimin tells you when and where to look and you follow that.
The gentle clinking noise of a belt buckle causes your pussy to quake. You’ve been slowly moistening since you sent the first text, but you were now starting to drip as if you were overflowing. By the end of the night, you’ll be drowning in it.
He’s behind you again as quick as he left and he rubs the leather belt against your bare behind.
“What’s your word?” He asks, soothing at the skin with the device that will soon maar it. Jimin is ever careful, checking on your mental and emotional safety as well as your physical, and ensured a safe word was in place each time.
“Red,” you assert. He hums his approval and kisses your ass once, one quick little peck, before he lifts back up to standing.
“Count for me, little whore.”
The crack of the belt spanking your cheek electrifies you. You feel as if every muscle in your body clenches as the sting vibrates through your buttocks and down to your core.
“O-one!” You’re shouting, distracted by the pain in your ass to care about your pitch.
Crack. The next slap lands on the other cheek now, and you hiss at the pain. It bites at your skin, and it soaks your pussy.
“Two!”
He delivers the next straight in the center, hitting both cheeks and letting the sizzle melt its way to a pleasure that’s reverberating through your core.
“Three! Fuck!” you gasp.
SMACK. It’s the hardest yet and tears well up in your eyes at the initial whollop, before your hips are writhing and desperate for friction.
“Four!” You’re wailing and you know it makes your husband go even wilder.
“Stay still or I won’t let you cum for a month,” he grits. Your hips stay put, knowing he’s a man of his word and not wanting to face his wrath.
He continues his barrage, and you’re counting out 15 strikes before he stops. You’re sobbing, the pain and pleasure surging so forcefully through your veins that your cunt clenches around nothing and you’re dripping onto the wood of the desk.
His warm hands are soothing at the reddened flesh of your ass, the sensation stinging at first, but oozes away to a relaxing warmth against the punished skin.
“Good girl, baby,” he commends you, hands rubbing all over your flesh. “Took your punishment like such a good girl.”
You sniffle in reply and he pulls you up, making you stand on wobbly legs. He twists you around and pecks your lips again, a reminder that Jimin, your husband, is still there and loves you more than he loves life itself. It soothes you more than any salve could and it steels your resolve to continue. It’s easy to submit and thrill at the loss of control when you trusted the master with your entire being.
“Color?” He asks, checking in with you.
“Green,” you smile.
He’s pleased with your answer. He pulls away from you and pushes you towards the bed.
“Lay down on your back. Head off the side. I’m going to fuck your throat, and you will take it all.”
You’re giddy as you saunter to the bed and notice that Jimin is proud of the blooming red of your ass. It’ll be a literal pain in the ass to sit tomorrow, but it’s worth all the doting and affection you’ll receive in return for being such a good girl for him. The music has changed, another sensual track featuring your talented husband. It sends shivers down you, straight to your core.
You maneuver your body to lie on the bed, grateful for the soft blanket on your burning ass, and tip your head off the bed. Your mouth opens complacently and Jimin shoves his sweats down to reveal his hardened length.
You’re licking your lips like his dick is the finest meal money can buy, and he chuckles. His left hand strokes it, shivering at the cold press of his wedding ring mixing with the heat of his hand.
“You want my cock?” He asks.
You nod, captivated with the motion he strokes the shaft. You almost forget to speak, but his harsh gaze is like a whip.
“Yes! Yes, I want your cock Daddy!”
“Tell me what you want to do to me,” he hums.
Well, this would be too easy.
“I want to suck you dry, let you fuck my throat so I can’t breathe. I’ll let you cum down my throat and make my face so messy from cum and spit that it gets in my eyes and messes up my pretty makeup, daddy.”
His strokes have become faster, and he sucks in hard for air. “Such a filthy fucking mouth.”
You open said mouth again, letting your tongue hang out like a welcome sign to your throat.
He growls, it’s guttural, and it feels as if it’s positioned on your clit, vibrating the nub. Your bliss is cut short as he drives his thick dick into your mouth and directly to the back of your throat, leaving you no time to prepare. You whine slightly around it, and he tsks.
“Don’t you fucking dare whine. Take it all,” he sounds ruthless and your pussy quakes.
He sets a punishing pace, the tip of his dick ramming through your throat. It doesn’t take long for it to become messy, saliva trickling from your mouth, falling towards your eyes due to the angle of your supine head. Jimin sounds angelic, the moans that leave the dancer’s body should be recorded and played for an audience, you think. You’d suffer through hours of this for the reward of his sweet voice crying out your name.
“Fuck, my little cock slut loves it when I fuck her throat, hmm,” he asks, breathy and harsh. You nod as much as you can.
“Yeah, that’s right. You love daddy’s cock, don’t you? You love it when I fucking choke the shit out of you with my fat cock, huh?”
The voice of an angel with the words of the devil himself. The duality is intoxicating and you are head over heels for both Jimin’s inside of him, every aspect of the man you pledged your life to.
“Mmm, you suck me so good,” he’s groping at your tits through the fabric of your bra. You’re surprised that it’s still on, but you trust he’s aware and always has a plan.
“Are you crying, baby?” He asks mockingly. Tears and saliva mix and your face is completely ruined by it. You nod again and blink. “Good, fucking choke on it.” he goes even faster and you’re moaning. It hurts and the gag reflex is there, but the pain gets you off, and you know the second it became too much, your husband would stop in an instant.
“Little sluts get their face fucked when they disobey daddy,” he chides, emphasising each word with a thrust.
It’s as if you’re desperate for his orgasm, wanting nothing more than to swallow every ounce of what he spills into you, clean him up and ask for more. He won’t have that tonight, it seems, as he’s pulling out of you as quickly as he entered.
“I want to cum in this tight little cunt,” he bites. You slither up from your position and wipe at your eyes, resting against the pillow after he orders you to remove the bustier. He asks that you leave the belt and stockings on, however.
“Spread those pretty thighs for me, baby,” he’s discarded his shirt and is sitting ahead of you, watching you. His gaze turns you on and opens you up like a flower.
Your thighs are spread far and you lean back further onto the pillows to put the star of the show on display. You’re coated with your slick; it’s slathered up and down your thighs and dripping onto the duvet below you. He breathes out in appreciation.
“I think my favorite thing about you is how fucking wet you get for me.” He’s still not moving and you want to beg him to touch you, please do something, but refrain. “You feel like a fucking dream when I’m inside you.”
“B-baby,” you break character and freeze, but he ignores it and allows you to continue as you sigh with relief. “I need you.”
“Do you now?” he banters, and you nod with wide, needy eyes.
“Touch yourself for me, then. Show me how badly you want daddy’s cock in you.”
A hand flies to your cunt in record time and you’re desperately eager to spread the lips of your folds apart and rub at your slick and swollen clit. A breathy, heady moan escapes you at the friction you’ve been aching for since you sent the sexy photo hours ago.
“Fuck!” you shout, circling the bud. Jimin’s eyes are glued to your hands, and he watches with awe.
“Finger yourself,” he demands and you’re obeying before he’s even finished speaking, two fingers slipping down to enter your channel. You arch off the bed and grip a breast in your other hand, flicking at the nipple for extra sensation.
He coos at you as you fuck yourself with wild abandon, gasping his name as you slip deeper with each thrust.
“Add another.” His voice maintains its even quality, maintained and cool. But if you opened your eyes, you’d see that he’s salivating at the sight, desperately restraining himself. His cock is weeping pre-cum and he could explode in an instant watching this too long.
Your ring finger slips in with the other two and you’re keening at the stretch. The pain is gone in a flash, just a pinch that simmers to a desperate pleasure.
“You look so fucking good, baby,” he breaks his composure, momentarily. He’s so in love with you, every single fucking bit, that he can’t help it. “God, you’re beautiful.”
His words have you blushing, as if they’re the most lewd part of the evening and not the fact you’re fingering yourself in front of your husband while he watches and orders you around.
“Rub your clit with your other hand, love.”
The pressure of your added hand on your clit and the fingers thrusting into you has you soaring to your high and your throat chokes on the air. “O-oohhh fuckkk!” You whine.
“You close, baby? You gonna cum on those cute little fingers and get them messy for daddy?” He asks, voice violently serene.
“Y-yes! Please, I want to cum,” you beg. You know the rules, he tells you where and when your body receives its pleasure.
“You wanna cum?” He asks again, and you feel a spike of irritation. He’s already asked you that, haven’t you already answered?
“So badly, daddy! Please! C-close.” Words are escaping your mental capacity now. You’re there, nearly there, just one little tiny string holding you back from the edge of euphoria.
“Too bad.”
Your fingers are pulled from your cunt quickly and you’re crying. Tears are forming in your eyes as you feel an ache deep to your womb. You had been so close, so deliciously close. Jimin knows this, thrills at watching you edge further and further through the night. You won’t admit it at the moment, it’s pure torture then, but the buildup to the finale is indescribable.
“You don’t get to fucking cum until I tell you to cum. Do you understand me?”
“Yes, yes! Yes, Daddy,” you babble, nearly incoherent from arousal and denial.
He makes you writhe there, pussy so slick its soaking the blankets and you’ll have to change them later but the only thing you think about is your cunt, your weeping cunt that’s screaming to release.
You feel your breath slowing and know that Jimin wants you to come back down to earth before he’ll bring you up again.
“Good fucking girl,” he kisses your belly, licking at the navel. He whispers quiet words of adoration as he trails down your abdomen and end at the top of your mound. Your legs are shaking, no, they’re nearly convulsing from need.
He spreads your folds, and it’s pornographic the way he spits on your pussy, as if it needs any more wetness. It’s not about the wetness, though, and you know it. It’s about the message, the ownership.
“My favorite little fuck toy,” he murmurs, lightly tracing everywhere but the bud throbbing with need for friction. “I can’t wait to cum inside this little pussy tonight. Gonna flood your whole fucking cunt, babe.”
Jimin knows the way to your heart, and the way to your orgasms is through his words. Gentle whispered ‘i love you’s’ in the day and disgusting filth at night. It’s just another reason in a list of a million why you work so well together.
“Should we get you nice and pregnant tonight? You want to make a baby?”
You nearly sob at his words. He can fuck you harder with his words than his cock.
“Please!” You’re yelling, tears streaming down your face. “P-please! I want your baby.”
He leans down and smiles for a moment before speaking. “Well, my little wife will always get what she wants when she asks so nicely.” His lips attach to your clit, suctioning it into his mouth and swirling his tongue around it. It’s swollen and slick, and it feels like fucking heaven. His plushy lips are working for it, taking you so desperately close to the edge.
You’re gasping a symposium of his name and praising the ground he walks on. You’re sure if you died now you’d die a very fucking happy woman. The world around you is gone, and it’s just Jimin’s sinful mouth suckling at your cunt.
You’re close again, and Jimin knows it. You’re begging, pleading with him, but it’s useless as he roughly pulls away.
The music continues on in the background. It’s lighter, and Jimin croons in the speaker as he grunts in your ear.
He muffles your anguished cry with a messy kiss that tastes of you, and he’s thrusting into you. The slickness guides him in easily and he’s whining against you at the feel of your walls accept him and hugging him tightly as if they’ve missed his cock swelling within them.
“JIMIN!” You’re seeing fireworks as your husband fucks into you, holding you close to him. It’s as rough and kinky as it is intimate and sweet. He holds you, cherishes you, while he’s pistoning his thick member into your loud, drenched cunt.
“I love you,” he whispers, slipping a thumb into your mouth that you suck at eagerly, as skilled with his fingers as you are with his cock. “I love you so fucking much.”
His eyes align with yours, yours full of tears of absolute unrivaled pleasure, and his with full and never-ending devotion.
You’re both so close, and you pull him against you to kiss his lips. You want to connect completely to him as you cum, as he spills into your womb and creates something, someone there.
Your cunt flutters intensely, quaking in anticipation as it builds and builds and builds. Jimin breaks the kiss to breathe and warn you, “I’m going to cum soon, baby, please cum with me.” He’s gentle and sweet, the Jimin who cries at love stories and wears flower crowns now present inside you. You nod quickly, gasping as the coil winds tighter and tighter.
Your kissing is messy, passionate, and your hands grasp him everywhere. You’re tugging at his toned arms and solid back, seeking refuge as the tidal wave grows impossibly high, higher, so so high,
And crashes into you at 100 miles per hour. Your cunt is contracting and pulsing around him so intensely you nearly black out, crying loudly into his mouth. He’s groaning with you, the feeling of your already impossibly tight walls clenching down on him demands the orgasm out of him. He’s cupping your whole face in his hands as he spills into you and your walls suck him in further, so far he could disappear completely.
It feels as if you orgasm for hours, but it's merely minutes later that you’re trying to catch your breath and slip back into reality. You’re clinging to each other like last lifelines and the gaze between you is so intense it clenches at your racing heart.
The silence between you two is long and speaks an entire conversation before your lips even open. He’s singing so sweetly through the speaker, it sounds like he’s singing directly to you. “I love you,” you’re whispering to him.
He rubs at your cheeks in his palms, wiping away stray tears of bliss that have slipped down your face.
“I love you.”
You settle into him, unwilling to move a single inch away from your husband, and marvel at the beauty that is your life, your future.
Jimin holds you close, kisses you gently and sings softly along to the music as you fall asleep, and he adores the fact that he holds his entire world, his future, in his arms.
