I'm not sure if you've answered this before or touched on the subject, my apologies if you have, but would a condom help protect you from most of the radioactivity of ghoul semen? Just a thought, because I've noticed a lot writers use Rad-X or RadAway as a catch-all to safe(ish) ghoul sex; whereas some say there's still damage to be done even with these. But have we considered a condom?!

WARNING: YET ANOTHER RANT ABOUT GHOUL CUM IMMINENT, BRACE FOR IMPACT

And thanks for the ask, Anon. I really do enjoy these ghoul biology questions.

I have touched on the effects of ghoul semen on humans before, largely in this post, but I didn't elaborate much on condom usage. We endorse safe sex here, but...well, let's just say there's a lot more demand for portraying no-condom fucking than there is for the opposite. For this reason, at least personally, I usually just use Rad-X and Radaway as a sort of catch-all since it's basically in-game magic. Plus, my readers yearn for the c r e a m p i e aspect of it all.

Besides, if I'm honest, I'm not convinced that a condom would be of all that much use when fucking a ghoul, at least an older ghoul.

I spent some time browsing through a few research papers and articles about how gamma radiation affects various materials to give a 'not completely bullshit' answer to this. I know a fair amount about how radiation can impact the body, but relatively little about how it can impact non-biological material. Turns out, it's quite hard on most things! Shocker!

I think the biggest determining factor about whether or not a condom would provide you any actual protection with a ghoul lover would be the age and transformation status of the ghoul. I've mentioned before how I theorize that they become more radioactive over time, even if they never enter a more advanced stage of ghoulification, like becoming a glowing one.

A newly-transformed ghoul would likely both have lower levels of radiation in their bodily fluids AND no sperm (as I elaborated on in my post about ghoul-fathered pregnancy), so a condom would really only provide protection from the mild damage and irritation that prolonged or repeated exposure to low-level rads would cause your vaginal/anal/oral tissue. Not to say that isn't helpful! No one really likes the idea of being all raw from mild radiation burns inside them, and sometimes you just wanna go a half-dozen rounds with your high-stamina lover with no stress. Besides, if you're not a ghoul yourself, less overall radiation exposure is an unquestionable good.

Older ghouls (and obviously those who are in more advanced stages of ghoulification), being more radioactive overall in this scenario, also have much more radioactive fluids. Obviously anyone who is pre-war would fall under this category, but frankly anyone who has been a ghoul for more than a few decades is probably gonna be pretty "hot" overall. Low rad-resistance/low endurance folks may need to strongly consider alternative forms of intercourse, especially if Rad-X and Radaway aren't available or sufficient. With partners like this, the condom keeping the semen confined inside it means it's effective in stopping things that have to actively work to infect you (sperm, viruses/bacteria, etc.), but radiation doesn't work like that. It can easily impact you negatively if you're simply close enough to the source of it without any direct contact. If I wrapped a polonium core in a condom and shoved it inside you, you would still get incredibly sick and burned, and I think essentially the same would apply to telling your older ghoul partner to use extant barrier contraception (condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps, etc.). Honestly, if they have a high enough rad level, they may just literally melt straight through whatever you're using.

It is possible that ghoul-friendly contraception could be created, at least in my opinion. But it would be complicated and difficult to find something that "ticks all the right boxes", per se. For obvious reasons, you wouldn't want a lead wool diaphragm or a cadmium-lined condom or anything like that. I understand there are a lot of different polymers/plastics that are resistant to radiation, and I'm sure that some of them are made of components that wouldn't necessarily be harmful to have inside you, especially since some of them are used to manufacture things like radiation PPE (personal protective equipment like gowns/gloves/shields/radiation blankets/etc.). However, I don't have a broad enough understanding to say for sure whether or not any of these polymers would make for the sort of material you could manufacture physical/barrier contraception from. I have a degree in a biology-heavy STEM field and not a pure-chemistry STEM field for a reason. Either way, I feel like it might be a little hard to get your hands on material like that, at least consistently, 200+ years after a nuclear apocalypse, unless you could find a way to freshly manufacture it. If you're going older in terms of your search for a ghoul partner, you're probably better off sticking to Rad-X and Radaway, overall.

If I, personally, were president in the Fallout universe, whatever funds that were earmarked for scientific research would be reallocated to figuring out how to mass-produce and distribute a ghoul-friendly form of contraception. I think it would be a great healing step for what remains of America if all the ghouls and all the smoothskins could get in a big pile and just fuck it out. Vote for me.

Hey, remember how we never got an answer over how the Doctor Aesop stuff and being betrayed by his friends when he was having a bad mental health episode that could jeopardy his whole redemption thing affected Eddie and his relationship with the Sirens because the universe just got freaking rebooted? Yeah. I will never not be bitter about it.

I mean even if it ended with him going back to vilanny it would at least come with a pretty intense revenge ploy against the Sirens and the fact he speneded that whole time being mentioned as Harley and Selina's friend would bite all three of them in the ass (the Sirens would win because Ivvy is fine, she never liked Eddie and has no emotional repercution from the fallout except that her gfs are having huuge problems over the consequences of their actions wich aren't they always? Specially Harls).

Think I'm pretty -John Price NSFW

Hello, I would like to make a request, please? Court AU/ Lawyer AU Lawyer!Fem!Reader x Lawyer!Price (both as opposition) - they both in court debating over a minor case (gaz+ Soap vs neighbour) - reader representing neighbour whilst price representing soap, debating about noise policies Sorry if this idea is a bit jumble up / difficult. 😅 But tqsm!!! 🫡🫡🫡✊✊🥺 ---- F!Reader, 18+, MDNI, smut, lawyer!Price, Lawyer!Reader, oral!sex, cheating ----

A/N: I know there was no smut requested but my mind immediately needed it..sorry<3

The room is silent. Everyone in the room standing up. Both sides do not dare to look at the other. You sigh as everyone gets ordered to sit down. You, a successful lawyer and your opponent John Price have always had trouble getting along, not just because he always disagrees with you, even outside of court but also because of how cocky he is. Today, as you see him back in court, he gives you a smirk. Oh, how you wish to win this case.

"John Mactavish and Kyle Garrick versus George Allen and others." The woman so softly speaks. "Neighbourhood guidelines about noise policies in a private community, this case will be dealt with by Lord Edward." You prepare your files in hand and when the time begins, you speak up. "Judge and jury, today, we are here for the case these young and immature men have caused. The community in which both live in has already received calls upon calls for the disturbance of these two young men," you begin.

For nearly 20 minutes after your and Price's opening statements, the problem became worse. Both MacTavish and Garrick began to get louder, pointing fingers at your client. You would occasionally roll your eyes and cover your smile when you'd see Price get frustrated over his client's words.

Maybe, after all, you'd win this one.

"No, what I'm saying is, if this absolute fookin' idiot understood how speakers and parties work, we wouldn't be here!" Kyle stands up and Price has to force him to sit back down.

Your client keeping calm, just like you had ordered them to. It's easy. These two guys are showing the court how bad of neighbours they can be and before you knew it, the men whom you stood upon, sighed as once again MacTavish cussed your client.

"Here's what we'll do, and Price, keep your clients shut or they will hurt themselves more," a deep sigh, "Y/N, your client is in the right. The papers and signatures are on file. Price, your clients are meant to keep quiet, not have a rave in their backyard. If there is one more complaint, the community in which both parties are a part of, can and will have the right to hand MacTavish and Garrick an eviction notice. Y/N, your client shan't step into their yard and if it does happen, MacTavish and Garrick can receive a restraining order against Mr. Allen."

It was clear this was a long one for the court to hear.

After the trial though, the two men Price represented were told to leave before your client saw them again. It was better this way.

You shook Price's hand, and he nodded at you and smiled. "You look rather beautiful today," he says in such a soft tone that makes him appear as if he was a completely different man from the one you argued against. "You look…okay for a shit lawyer," you smile back. "Oh darling," he laughs.

You don't have time for any proper conversation and as soon as you receive all files, you leave the room. Price knows where he can find you. After all, it's always been the number one spot for you to hang out after trials and long arguments.

The small pub that welcomes you also welcomes John. "Care to tell me why you're following me?" You turn to him and he gives you a cocky grin. "What, can't I come here to just relax?" "You? No."

"Still hurt over what happened years ago?" "You stole my case, of course I am. And you knew I was asking for it so I have no idea why the hell you'd go for it."

It was a known story. After all, it's how John and you became such rivals in court. But, it never has to end like that, right?

"It's called business darling," his hand snakes over yours and before anything else can happen, you pull away.

He sighs. "What, too good for me now?" His lips touching your ear. You shift away, trying to not yell at him here. It just isn't right, especially in front of so many others who respect you. "I'm not here to be annoyed by some-" You get cut off when he places his hand around your neck. "What, darling? Say it. Hmm, am I mediocre? incompetent? don't act like you weren't fucking moaning my name years ago. You and I know well that you liked me like I did you," his voice deep and in a whisper. Your hand on his wrist.

"You and I both know that was a mistake," you answer back and he shakes his head. "Tsk, tsk, mistakes are a one-time thing. You know you slept in my bed longer than anyone else. What? Did you forget you used to fuck those pretty fingers of yours to my voice?" he chuckles, almost mocking the nights you two spend together.

He sees that you aren't budging to his questions or comments, it's frustrating. He wants you, you know he does. His body and yours are like a puzzle, the one you both know all too well about.

"Look, I know…i know I'm a selfish son of a bitch but you also have your flaws and-"

"And what are they? hm? Because at least a cheating wife or a stupid fucking face like yours is not a problem I have to face."

Oh does he love it when you bite back.

It was true, which is why he nods. "I do have a cheating wife, the face part though…that is false. You should know. I mean you rode my face almost every night, darling" A smirk grows on him.

He notices your silence.

"What, did you not enjoy how i ate that pretty pussy of yours? Or was it too good that the orgasms made you forget?" he chuckles once more.

Is it bad he needs you again? That he wishes you laid on his bed and not the mistake of a girl he married? Sure she was funny but you…oh fuck. You are smart, gorgeous, funny, sexy…fuck..you're perfect.

"My flat is just a ten-minute drive from here, you can always come…maybe pay me a visit…or two..maybe a whole holiday."

You look at him and then at the drink in your hands. You did want him, yearned for his love again.

"The guy you're talking to is no good. Now, me…I'm handsome, funny, good with my hands and mouth and…well…you know the rest."

Was it a risk? yes. Did you both want it? Yes. So…is this why now after practically thirty minutes of asking you are in his car and on the way to his place?

Once inside his flat, he doesn't waste a second and in a matter of moments, he has you on the couch, his mouth to your neck. His calloused hands take your clothes off. His cock is needy to have you again.

His lips move up, embracing you in a kiss. A much-needed one. "Fuck did I miss you, Y/N," he groans. It was more than a need for sex, but for all the other fun and good emotions, you two brought to each other. His fingers teased your folds as he removed your panties. "Hm, already wet for me? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Need to do something about this, huh love," he slowly goes down on you. His lips are attached to your precious body. From your neck to your hips, his lips ran from. Your aching cunt begging for his tongue.

Once his fingers have enough slick covering them, he pushes them deep inside. A small moan escapes your lips. Eager thing, aren't you?

His tongue lapping at your folds all as his thumb rubs your clit over and over. This is what you always needed after a long day at court.

The sensation is so good. Feels like mythical waves of pleasure but it all stops abruptly. One stupid phone call and he leaves you there. "Stay, I'll come back later tonight, love," he kisses your forehead and walks out.

If only he didn't think his wife was pretty, his hands would be all over you

This was flagrant and foul.

A high school girls’ basketball game in Yonkers was canceled this week when players on the home team shot antisemitic slurs at their Jewish opponents, who needed security guards to escort them off the court to safety.

The girl’s varsity teams from The Leffell School, a private Jewish school in Hartsdale, and Roosevelt High School, a public school in Yonkers, faced off in the non-league game Thursday evening.

“I support Hamas, you f–king Jew,” a Roosevelt player snarled at a Leffell opponent, according to The New York City Public Schools Alliance, a group of parents and teachers fighting antisemitism.

From the outset, there was hostility and aggression with “substantially more jabs and comments thrown at the players on our team than what I have experienced in the past,” senior player Robin Bosworth wrote in an op-ed for Leffell’s student-run newspaper, The Lion’s Roar.

At the end of the third quarter, her teammates were getting injured by the rough plays, and “players on the opposing team started shouting ‘Free Palestine’ and other antisemitic slurs and curses at us,” wrote Bosworth, also editor-in-chief of the school paper.

“I have played a sport every athletic season throughout my high school career, and I have never experienced this kind of hatred directed at one of my teams before,” Bosworth said.

“Instead of responding to hatred with more of the same, we chose to separate ourselves from the situation and leave with dignity and pride in who we are and what we believe in,” she continued.

Lion’s head coach John Tessitore consulted with his squad and decided to end the game, according to Michael Kay, Leffell’s head of school.

“Our team was playing on the road, and during the course of the game, a small number of players on the opposing team directed hurtful, antisemitic comments toward members of our team,” Kay wrote in a letter to the school community.

About an hour into the game, a timeout was called, livestream footage shows, though no audio is heard. The Leffell players and Tessitore appear exasperated and he consults with the referees and the other team’s coach.

The Roosevelt players are seen gathering and appear to exchange words from afar with the Leffell players. Security steps in between both teams and the refs make an announcement before both teams suddenly exchange handshakes and security escorts them off the court.

Roosevelt High School agreed to a voluntary forfeit, according to a spokesman for the Yonkers district.

Students at the $ 45,000-a-year private day school were shocked by the on-court hate.

“This is my school and it’s just unacceptable and some of the things they said to my teammates are very disgusting,” one student wrote on the NYCPS Alliance post.

Kay said that Roosevelt’s athletic director Kyle Calabro has since apologized and said “the follow-up would be swift and appropriate.”

On Friday, Roosevelt principal Edward DeChent also apologized to Kay and described the “investigative steps” that had been taken and “outlined a number of disciplinary consequences and educational responses” including the possibility of an in-person meeting between both teams.

“I am incredibly proud of the manner in which our players and coaching staff responded to this potentially harrowing incident,” Kay said.

A spokesman for the Yonkers Public Schools district downplayed the shocking behavior.

“It has come to our attention that a student-athlete made a statement involving ‘free Palestine,'” the district said. “This incident was promptly addressed in line with our district’s policies and values.” ___________________-

Top 10 2023

cuz I’m a nerd

10. Skinamarink

Ultralowbudget horror that really stuck w me. Architecture as horror.

Hallways that change size. Doors that disappear. Walls that inch closer. A disembodied voice coaxing you to horrific acts. Excited to see where Kyle Edward Ball goes from here!

9. The Holdovers

Newly minted winter holiday classic.

The core trio of Sessa, Giamatti, and Randolph kill it. Lots of faux 70s cinematic flair (complete w grainy mono audio) and a script that plays the familiar coming of age beats with enough cynical bite to keep it from falling into saccharine cliche, & a warmth for its characters that keeps it from falling into despairing melodrama. Just damn good all around!

8. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

What hasn’t already been said? Gorgeous animation, a fantastic ensemble of characters, and better action than any superhero movie I’ve seen in quite some time (kinetic, emotionally charged, and LEGIBLE!), w a soundtrack to match. this film takes so much care w its characters - Miles talking to his Mom/Dad, Gwen confronting her Father, Miguel bickering w peter, the downtime w everyone is just as compellingly crafted as the action. 💕

7. Anatomy of a Fall

Juicy French courtroom drama that is ostensibly about whether or not a renown novelist (a perfectly calculated Sandra Hüller) killed her husband, Justine Triet turns her camera’s gaze to a number of intriguing themes - the malleability of memory, the gender politics of the French court system, the existential dread of having the minutiae of one’s most private moments picked apart before a ravenous public’s eyes.

best dog performance in a film ever✨

6. Poor Things

Yorgos, my love, back with his gnarled, prickly sense of sadistic humor & a fully-activated Emma Stone (goddamn!) and THE Mark Ruffalo performance - what a fun prick he is here. The physicality of the absolutely bonkers sets and costuming, coupled with its maximalist approach to untangling the Born-Sexy-Yesterday trope by way of Frankenstein (or Frankenhooker, honestly), this film was an absolute riot and KILLED in a theater. A fascinating aesthetic leap for Lanthimos and a real treat.

5. All Of Us Strangers

A film that, like its protagonist (an achingly tender Andrew Scott) devastatingly grasps for the universal by drilling down into the specifics. Adam spends his time writing, channeling the dead, communing with the grief of his past, searching for an escape hatch from the isolating pits of depression and a lifetime of self-doubts, if only for a fleeting moment,which, once found in the form of a hot mess of a neighbor (a superb Paul Mescal), only reinforces that underlying dread w the all too relatable need to capture it in amber, like plucking a star from the sky and feeding its radiance with your tears, hoping that maybe this time…maybe this time it’ll stick.

Like so many great queer films, this will ruin your day 💕

4. Oppenheimer

Nolan finally cracked the code. I’m not sure how he managed to turn a 3 hour epic about the pettiness, vindictiveness, utter disregard for humanity that the movers and shakers of the U.S. imperialist machine have for us all into a blockbuster event…until I hit play again, and Göransson’s score starts up, and Cillian Murphy’s haunting eyes appear…and it all just, makes sense. A rare film that never lets up and doesn’t suffer for it. It doesn’t hurt that every actor under the sun shows up.

Robert Downey Jr. plays catty soooo well lol.

3. The Zone of Interest

There’s a long-running dialogue in film history revolving around the aesthetics of war films, and whether or not there can ever be a truly “Anti-War” film because, by virtue of being a film with purposeful framing/pacing/blocking, it aestheticizes it, rendering the message moot. I don’t know that Zone of Interest is an ‘Answer’ to that conversation, but it is the most compelling entry in the conversation i’ve yet to see. A horrific film with no violence shown. A building nightmare without catharsis. No aesthetic flourish. Just soul-numbing inhumanity.

What death cries are we tuning out as we go about our day?

2. Killers of the Flower Moon

Martin Scorsese, with rewrites and input from the Osage Nation, takes what was supposed to be a bog standard whodunnit about the founding of the FBI and turns it into a spiritual treatise on the rot at the heart of the American mythos. DiCaprio is at his slimiest here, a fantastic, thankless turn, De Niro is at his most diabolical, but Lily Gladstone steals the show with her radiant aura of a screen presence. This is a 3.5hr film w lots of talking, lots of loud moments, guns and bombs and screeching….but its most powerful moments come from stillness, silence. A glance from afar. The sound of rainfall. The pregnant silence of a confession left unspoken: complicity.

One of Scorsese’s best. 💕

1. Asteroid City

Asteroid City is the best film Wes Anderson has made, and feels almost like a confession, an introspective dive into the why’s of his aesthetic distance from his characters. A 50s television dramatization of a production of a fictional play, the levels of artifice that wrap around these characters keep revealing new facets of their souls to us, their grief, their joy, their quests for meaning.

It’s also got UFOs, atom bombs, laser guns, a fantastic Jason Schwartzman in hot-depressed-dad mode, and folksy musical numbers about aliens! It’s a ton of fun, and a damn fine picture, one that is wrapped in layers of cinematic thrills it slowly unravels to reveal a tender, heart-melting center.💕

[erotica-on-amazon]

When I heard that my girlfriend's hometown best friend, Kyle, was joining us at a small weekend getaway at Big Bear Lake, I was a little annoyed.

But I soon found out Kyle was gay. This wasn't a problem until I found out he had a "thing" for "bears:" big, muscular and hairy guys just like me.

Soon, the three of us were sitting in the living room of the lake house and venturing into some interesting conversations. Before I knew it, Kyle was privy to all the private, intimate details of my and Alyssa's love life. He couldn't help but focus on one particular detail; how Alyssa's refused to do certain things in the bedroom because of my large size below the belt.

When Alyssa left the two of us alone, Kyle made an interesting proposition; he, an expert in handling "big bears" like me, would show me what I had been missing out on with my prudish girlfriend. I was too straight to do something like this, right? Well, it didn't matter how straight I was, because when I saw that cute twink begging for it, I just couldn't resist...

2022 Movie Ranking

Note: 2021 Movie Ranking. As usual, this list is HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE. Still want to catch Skinamarink, Barbarian, Wakanda Forever, The House, and Pinocchio.

Nope: Like Get Out and Us, this was incredibly disturbing but so good. Not sure if I ever want to watch Nope again because characters being eaten alive—eaten alive whole—terrifies me. Anyway, Peele's phenomenal at social commentary. Here, animal exploitation.

Wendell & Wild: So many elements I love! Settings are a funfair-themed afterlife and boarding school. Faustian deals! Diverse character designs. Anti-prison privatization, pro-rehabilation. So the edgy-on-purpose Kat is actually punk. Henry Selick and Jordan Peele plus Key are the dream team!

Turning Red: I am so, so thankful for Shi and co. It's a cute movie all around, but normalizing periods made me adore it. My family was and is always honest about puberty, but many others' aren't. (And no one told me about PCOS.) TR is groundbreaking.

Scream: "No one has made a great Stab movie since the first one." My fave self-aware slasher franchise. And this one tackles one of my biggest pet peeves: fandom entitlement. Also, Kyle Gallner playing a sleazebag for once. 💚

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

Men: Verdant folk horror about various flavors of misogyny. If I was still in school, I'd write a paper on it.

The Batman: THIS is how you do dark Batman. My favorite version of the Riddler since Batman Forever. (Sorry, Cory Michael Smith.) Riddler acts like he's helping the downtrodden, but the mentally ill are a marginalized group, too. Arthur Fleck knows that. I like how Joker and this are morally complex and the villains have in-film fanbases. Also, Edward ironically crushing on Batman, while despising Bruce. Aw.

The Munsters: The best Rob Zombie flick. I used to say he should stick to music. Now I think he should stick to music and PG-rated romanctic comedy. It's clear Zombie is an aficionado of Universal and other monster movies. It basically is exactly what it set out to be.

Halloween Ends: Anyone who says this "ruined" the franchise hasn't watched all the movies. Giving Michael a fanboy/protégée was a cool idea to explore. And interesting use of irony with the whole falling and dropping.

Smile: If you're into the predetermined death-curse genre, give it a watch.

Everything Everywhere All at Once

Bodies/Bodies/Bodies: Movie that makes fun of classist vapidity... Gen Z style. The characters are petty and self-absorbed. Their allyship is performative and it will give viewers secondhand embarrassment. On purpose.

Death on the Nile: An adaptation of the secondest Christie book I read. (First being The Pale Horse.) While it wasn't really my thing, I totally thought Misses Van Schuyler and Bowers were sapphic in the novel, so it was nice to see that confirmed here.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story: Nothing against Weird Al. Just not my type of humor.

Brandon Aiyuk: Rising Star of the San Francisco 49ers

The NFL’s most exciting young wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk, has made a name for himself by dashing opponents with his quickness, agility, and ability to make plays. Aiyuk, a vital member of the San Francisco 49ers, is a prime example of a player whose career in the professional ranks was built on talent, perseverance, and hard work. This blog will discuss the history of Brandon Aiyuk, his contributions to the 49ers, and his prospects going forward.

Childhood and College Years On March 17, 1998, Brandon Aiyuk was born in Reno, Nevada. He showed early signs of having a natural knack for athletics, especially football. Aiyuk was an excellent wide receiver, cornerback, and return specialist at Robert McQueen High School in Reno. His stellar performance in high school secured him a place at the junior college Sierra College in Rocklin, California, where he continued to hone his craft.

In 2018, Aiyuk went to Arizona State University from Sierra College, where he had two outstanding seasons and was named a Junior College All-American. Aiyuk flourished in the offense with the Sun Devils under head coach Herm Edwards’ tutelage. Notable stats from his senior year in 2019 were 1,192 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, which earned him a spot on the First Team All-Pac-12. NFL scouts were drawn to his outstanding collegiate performance, which paved the way for his professional career.

NFL Draft and the 49ers’ early years of play Being one of the best wide receiver prospects going into the 2020 NFL Draft was Brandon Aiyuk. His selection by the San Francisco 49ers with the 25th overall choice in the first round demonstrated their faith in his potential. Because of his adaptability and explosive playmaking ability, Aiyuk was a perfect fit for head coach Kyle Shanahan’s exciting scheme.

Despite the difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Aiyuk made an impression quite fast in his first season. In addition to two rushing scores, he concluded the season with 60 receptions for 748 yards and five touchdowns. His flexibility was demonstrated by his ability to produce as a runner and receiver, which made him an invaluable member of the 49ers.

Season 2021: Overcoming Obstacles Aiyuk faced several difficulties in his second NFL season, including a sluggish start and injuries. But as the season went on, he showed resiliency and a great work ethic, finally settling into a routine. By the end of the 2021 campaign, Aiyuk had demonstrated remarkable growth and cemented his position as a vital member of the 49ers’ offense with 56 receptions for 826 yards and five touchdowns.

Playing Style and Skill Set Brandon Aiyuk is renowned for his remarkable agility and adaptability. At six feet tall and two hundred pounds, he has the perfect mix of size and quickness for an NFL wide receiver. Aiyuk is a dependable target on both short and deep routes because of his quickness and agility, which enable him to gain distance from opponents.

The ability of Aiyuk to gain yards after the catch (YAC) is one of his most remarkable traits. He adds a dynamic aspect to the 49ers offense with his ability to turn short passes into major gains because to his elusiveness and vision. Aiyuk’s worth is further increased by his experience as a return specialist, as he can play a variety of attacking roles and contribute on special teams.

Effect on the 49ers The offense of the San Francisco 49ers has been significantly improved by Brandon Aiyuk’s arrival. Because of his adaptability, head coach Kyle Shanahan can create imaginative moves that make use of Aiyuk’s special set of skills. Aiyuk’s explosive plays keep teams guessing, whether he lines up as a wide receiver, running back, or return specialist.

It has also helped Aiyuk’s growth that seasoned players like George Kittle and Deebo Samuel play. Aiyuk’s development as a more accomplished player has been aided by his ability to learn from more seasoned teammates and coaches. Aiyuk is positioned to become a key component of the 49ers’ offensive approach as he develops further.

Considering the Future: Brandon Aiyuk’s Prospects Brandon Aiyuk appears to have a very bright future as he begins his third NFL season. Aiyuk has the talent, work attitude, and drive to succeed as one of the best wide receivers in the game. Trey Lance, the 49ers’ quarterback, leads an offensive line that offers Aiyuk plenty of room to develop and succeed going forward.

Both observers and fans are eager to watch Aiyuk’s career take shape. He will be a player to watch in the upcoming years because of his capacity for game-changing plays and dedication to honing his profession. The 49ers will need Aiyuk’s talents if they are to succeed in the fiercely contested NFC West.

In summary The path taken by Brandon Aiyuk from Reno, Nevada, to the NFL is evidence of his talent and tenacity. He has already had a big impact as a rising star for the San Francisco 49ers and still has a ton of potential. Aiyuk has the skill set and commitment to greatness to establish himself as one of the NFL’s top wide receivers.

One thing is certain as we anticipate the next phase of Brandon Aiyuk’s career: his greatest football playing moments are still to come. His tale is far from done.

what makes the evan's melt

this is shitty but considering i haven't written fanfiction or anything in years im not too unhappy with it? i hope yall like it,,

-

tw: mentions of kyle's mom

Tate (pre-death): Tate tends to spend alot of time at your house especially when he needs to get away from Constance and he knows you'll welcome him with open arms. Your house feels much more like a home than his own. since hes over so often you keep stock of his favorite foods and drinks and you have tons of his clothes and records so he doesn't have to bring them over everytime he comes. If he needs to talk or even just sit in silence with someone you're always there and it means alot to him.

Kit: Kit's a family man so of course seeing you and the kids happy together is gonna make his heart melt. one morning, not long after you had gotten together, you were laying in bed, fingers grazing over kit's soft skin when you pulled yourself out of his grasp shushing him when he began to protest. when he finally pulled himself out of bed after you, he found you in the kitchen making breakfast with the kids. he couldn't help the dopey grin that spread across his face as he watched his own little family in the doorway.

Kyle (pre-death): sweet Kyle,,loves to act goofy with you. his frat brothers always groan when toto comes on because you'll both sing along horribly to it (especially if its a love song,,c'mon its cute!) like tate, he spends as much time away from his own house either staying at the frat house or your own (soon becoming your and kyles house after finding out his situation with his mother). in your more private moments, he'll always jump at the chance of being wrapped up in your arms and melts as you run your hands through his hair, feeling your body shake against his as you laugh at his jokes. he always feels safe with you.

Jimmy: sure he's a big flirt and is pretty experienced but romance isn't something jimmy is too used to. darling boy isn't typically the one to recieve all the attention and some of the romantic things you do never fail to make him flustered (even more so when you tease him about the scarlet blush covering his cheeks and even the tips of his ears.) when you grab his hands and press light kisses to them (anywhere to his palm, tips of his fingers ect,) he reminds you of a deer in headlights. and alot like kit, his family means alot to him so seeing you all treat each other as such always makes his heart swell.

James: (ty for @tatestripedsweater for the help with this one <3) James will always jump at the chance to slow dance with you, even if theres no reason to. he'll put one of his favorite records on and pull you close, basking in your warmth as you sway together. he also loves when you get up with him in the morning and help him get ready, tying his tie for him when he wears one (which you learned to do so just for this) and fixing his shirt collar before pulling him down, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. (sometimes the tie is discarded but its fine, he thinks it looks better on you anyways,,)

Rory: Rory is constantly talking you into running his lines with him. sure he can do it himself but thats no fun. its definitely one of his favorites things to do with you and you both get way too into it. 100% theatrical mode its all very dramatic (and 100% goofy, he goofs off just to see you break character and laugh.) you both end up curled up (more like cramped) in the loveseat together, limbs entangled despite the fact that theres a couch next to you. (he just wants to be close to you as possible okay?)

Edward: you're constantly bringing home gorgeous art pieces for him just to see his eyes light up at the sight of them (and though he doesn't say it you're always his favorite thing to look at and admire.) he also insists on nightly baths together where he can finally relax and not worry about a thing.

Kai: there's not really anything that makes kai 'melt'. one of the more intimate things you do with him though, is coloring his hair and washing it for him. you're always gentle as to not tug on it, fingers running through long locks and against his scalp (he won't admit it and you definitely won't bring it up if you notice but his eyes sometimes drift close at your soft touch. you can't help the smile that spreads across your face though.)

Gallant: Gallant is always a sucker for being spoiled (i mean- who isn't) whether it be gifts or physical affection. you try to surprise him with new jewelry often and you love how excited he gets and he's always loves to do your hair for you when you need him to. he won't hesitate to drape himself across your lap at any time and loves when you press yourself up against him or wrap your around him when he's near. if you stand up to his nana for him boy will probably fall (more) in love with you right then and there.

Peter: not many people really pay him any attention or give him validation but he never has to ask for it with you and it kind of catches him by surprise sometimes. he tends to doubt himself a lot too but you're always quick to reassure him. when he hasn't roped you into some prank or taken you halfway across the world, you spend alot of time listening to music together. he insists on using his cassette player and headphones no matter how difficult it may be so he can be pressed up close to you.

How the Evan’s react to giving you your first orgasm:

Kit would be in disbelief, his cheeks would be just as red as your own once you admitted to it but it would also turn him on to no end. To find out that he has been the only one to make you orgasm made his ego.. soar ever so slightly, you can bet he would go in for more as well

Kyle’s inner frat boy would come out once you told him, a wide grin spreading across the blonde boys face. Would be in some disbelief but he understood that sometimes it was hard for some to make yourself orgasm, but honestly he’d love the fact that he was the the person who gave you your first orgasm, it wouldn’t be your last either

Jimmy is.. well Jimmy. He is such a flirt but with you in private he is like a deer in headlights and somewhat clumsy, so when you told him he looked up in shock which ended up in his banging his head.. it was a moment neither of you would forget

As soon as James saw the way your legs were trembling he could tell, he didn’t even need to ask if you’ve ever orgasmed before due to how sensitive you were. “Get used to it darling, you’ll be having plenty more tonight” And there certainly was

Rory would be a tad cocky like Tate but non the less love the way you were shaking above him as he was between your legs, damn boy would ask to make a sex tape of you just orgasming.

Edward wouldn’t know how to react to what you just told him, eyes wide and his pale cheeks flushed once you admitted it. Would stumble and stutter over his words, Ed would most likely ask you to repeat yourself to make sure he even heard you right

Kai would fucking eat it all up (literally..), it would boost his ego to no end not that it needed boosting any more than it already was. Would taunt and tease you about not being able to make yourself cum, and demand that you told him who owned you.. boy is possessive 

Gallant wouldn’t even believe you at first, you were a guy how could you not have cum before. But after explaining that you found it difficult to cum all by yourself and often found it hard to fully relax, he would be more understanding. Let’s just say Gallant would catch you up on all the missed orgasms you had
