This is the follow-up to this drabble that I've written on June 23rd 2024. It's around 1,2k words and is dedicated to that one pregnancy kink Kylar lover who really wanted to read more about the pregnancy itself (there's still some sex tho), and to every other Kylarfucker who's into (step)cest and breeding! I love y'all, keep being nasty <3

Written in second person POV (you/your)

WARNINGS/TAGS: Fem! Reader x Kylar, stepbrother!Kylar, older brother!Kylar, stepcest/pseudoincest, fucked-up family dynamics, breeding, (slightly inaccurate) pregnancy, giving birth (mentioned in passing), nipple play, lactation, proud dad Kylar (still a pathetic pervert)

Getting knocked up by your big brother wasn't what you imagined would happen when you got adopted into a seemingly nice family. But one thing led to another, and now you're sat in Kylar's lap while he's sucking on one of your engorged tits. He's latched on so tightly that you actually wince from time to time, pulling on his hair when he bites down on your poor nipple too hard in his excitement. He seems to enjoy the hair pulling a bit too much.

You'd started lactating recently, and your big brother has been absolutely relentless about "encouraging milk production for the baby" as he put it. You're fairly certain he's bullshitting and just wants you to breastfeed him daily until your planned delivery date. He may be greedy, but he's not entirely unreasonable. He knows your child will need the milk soon enough... He just isn't ready to give it up yet. You'd heard him whining to your mother about how much he hopes that your kid will leave some milk for him, too. Your darling mother helpfully told Kylar that it's possible to induce lactation at any point if it has already happened before, so he'll be able to drink your milk even once you stop giving birth to his children. To say he was elated is an understatement.

As much as you're willing to indulge your pervert of a brother, your pregnant body isn't quite willing to cooperate. You've been, for the most part, spared the constant throwing up. That doesn't mean you don't get back pains and your feet don't swell so much you can't put on your shoes. Kylar doesn't see that last one as a bad thing since it means you are mostly confined to the house where he can watch over you and dote on his pretty little sister. But the back pains are definitely not something you can ignore. So you whine and complain until he finally pops your nipple out of his mouth with the expression of a kicked puppy and helps you lie down.

Seeing how sad he is about not being able to keep you in his lap, you decide to humor him and ask for various adjustments to make you more comfortable. You suspect he gets off on seeing you so helpless and being the one to take care of you while you're carrying his child. He'd popped more than one boner just from watching you waddle into the kitchen for a snack to satisfy your cravings. Of course, being the good sister that you are, you'd taken care of his erection every single time. Pregnant or not, he still needs your body more than he needs food and water.

Well, being pampered doesn't feel so bad. And your parents are supportive too! Your mother made sure that the nursery was absolutely perfect before you even entered your second trimester, and your father ended up building more than just the crib for it. He became genuinely interested in woodworking! Just recently, he'd built you a rocking chair that will most certainly come in handy when the baby is finally born. Your entire family honestly can't wait to actually meet your child. It was agreed that you wouldn't ask about the gender during your check-ups and consultations. There's some charm in only finding out whether it's a boy or a girl on the day you give birth, according to Kylar and your parents. The nursery is gender-neutral anyway since you most certainly will not stop at one child, and the baby name list your mother had compiled is so thorough you'd enter menopause before you actually used up every name on it.

You're blessed with a relatively short labor and easy delivery that happens right around your due date. Kylar weeps the entire time. So loud and hard, in fact, that the nurses give him some kind of tranquilizer to shut him up and let the delivery happen without his wails in the background. He still sobs when he's told he is now a father of a healthy baby girl, even with the medication still calming him. You're used to your big brother falling to his knees in front of you. He does that all the time, really. But that teary-eyed, revent expression on his face is not one you're used to. He kisses your forehead and gently takes your daughter into his arms, then immediately crumbles into another fit of crying. Frankly, he cries a lot during the first week. He's just so happy! He's a dad now! Seeing you nurse his child somehow doesn't make him jealous and greedy for your affection, it makes him want to crawl on the ground at your feet and worship you like a goddess. You'd actually brought a new life into this world, and he played a role in it! He's the proudest you've ever seen him.

And also the horniest. He starts with eating your pussy daily while you heal, but as soon as you're finished, he's fucking you raw. Your mom and dad are elated to be grandparents and happily take care of your daughter to give you two a break. Kylar uses the free time you two get to fuck his seed into you again and again. It's not uncommon for you to walk around with cum dripping down your thighs because he is absolutely relentless. Your tits hurt and leak because of how much milk you're producing which leads to him often making you nurse him while he stuffs you full of his cock. He fucks you everywhere and anywhere he can get away with, whining into your ear about how much he wants to get you pregnant again. Maybe you'll give him a son this time. Or another daughter. He'd be happy with either. Just get pregnant for him again, please. When he isn't busy pumping your womb full of his cum, he's talking to your parents about how much he loves you and your daughter, and how much wants to have a big family with you. Your parents offhandedly mention the possibility of twins or triplets one evening and it results in an absolute marathon where your big brother begs you to get pregnant while he fucks both you and himself into overstimulation.

You take a pregnancy test less than two months after you've given birth. Positive. Kylar is on his knees again, crying and hugging you while kissing your belly. Your parents are already planning a trip for more baby clothes. You distantly wonder just how many times you'll get knocked up by your big brother in the coming years. But the sheer happiness of your family makes you abandon the thought and embrace the elated glow you feel. Didn't you read somewhere that children who grow up with siblings are often more well-adjusted socially? Maybe you should give your baby girl a few, just to be sure... The more the merrier, no?

Long distance troubles - N. Hischier

When Two Sports Collide | previous chapter timeline: September 2019 - December 2020 summary: Lisa thought that she and Nico became friends during pandemic, just for him to cut her off when he returned to Europe and left her confused warning: mentions of COVID, mentions of injury, swear words note: i finished the whole story and i'm so excited to post the rest of the chapters!

Lisa smiled when she saw that Nico followed her back but her confidence that she had yesterday, to know him more disappeared. She decided to ignore it and wait for a moment to write to him. As much as she wanted to talk with him, she was aware that both of them are in a relationship and it might look suspicious. Lisa flew back home and focused on the start of the season, completely forgetting this hockey guy.

Second season for Lisa started great. Her team was winning almost every single match and they ended the year 2019 in great spirits. Since it was National Team time for handball, she had free time and decided to go with Sander to England. She wanted to support him because he started playing for a new team and helped him with moving on there. After New Years Eve, the Norwegian League returned to playing but this didn’t last long for Lisa. During one of the games, she picked a serious injury.

lisa.pedersen Unfortunately, the injury turned out to be worse than expected. I tore the ACL in my left knee and won’t be competing this season. Good luck girls and see you next season!🤞

charlotteolsen Girl you’re gonna be back even stronger!

sanderdale10 You’ll be back in no time❤️

25 January 2020

It’s been two months since Lisa’ operation. She was slowly coming back to her strength when the pandemic hit. Everything was locked and she couldn’t even travel to be with her family back in Trondheim. She was stuck in Kristiansand by herself because Sander was in London where he was playing. She tried to occupy her mind with tv shows and movies, especially since the league was cancelled. 

When Nico found out about Lisa’s injury, he wrote her a message with best of wishes in recovery. He was keeping her company on long distance. He was stuck in New Jersey by himself because Maya was studying in Bern. She didn’t expect that but they started talking more and more. She was teaching him everything about handball while he was teaching her about hockey.

“You got a red card because you pulled another girl by her hair?” Nico said amused.

“Yeah” Lisa laughed at the memory. “It was bad but I lost it at that moment. And to be honest, she was pissing me off the whole game”

“I didn’t know you’re aggressive like that” 

“I am not! Well, maybe sometimes but enough of me. Have you ever been sent off the ice?” Lisa asked.

“No, I’m always playing fair play” Nico said proudly.

“Bullshit! I don’t believe you” 

“Why?” 

“You look like a guy who likes to fight” Nico looked shocked at her.

“And you don’t look like a girl who likes to pull others hair because she’s mad at them”

“It was one time!” Lisa growled while he was laughing. 

They bonded during these months where they were stuck by themselves but in June, Nico cut the contact with her off. He didn't send her birthday wishes and he stopped responding to her messages. Lisa didn’t know why he changed his behaviour towards her. When she saw Maya’s insta story with Lottie and Nico, she realised that he returned to Switzerland for the summer. She started wondering if she was only for his entertainment during the pandemic months but quickly stopped thinking about it. 

Lisa moved on with her life. She came back to trainings. Being fit and ready to play was everything that was important for her at that moment. Lottie and Sander were next to her all the journey and she was thankful for having them. She missed the first month of the games but in October, she finally got the green light to return.

lisa.pedersen Finally back in the game! Big win today in Champions League, thanks for the nice welcome❤️

sanderdale10 You were incredible today❤️

charlotteolsen So so proud of you!!!!!!!

7 October 2020

Lisa saw that Nico liked her post and laughed. She couldn’t believe that he wasn’t responding to her but was in her likes. This whole situation was hilarious for her. Lottie thought the same. She saw him and Maya in summer and he acted like Lisa doesn’t exist every time she mentioned her. Two friends had fun about this and the way he was acting. 

“I completely don’t get it. He forgot about my existence for four months just to like my instagram post? Ridiculous” Lisa laughed.

“I don’t know what to tell you. He’s acting like you’re his side chick that he needs to hide from Maya when you know her and she knows you” Lottie said.

“Right? And I’m in a relationship too so I seriously don’t know why he decided to stopped talking to me” 

“He’s just an idiot for that. Ignore it Lisa. You’re better than him” 

“I should but I really want to know what happened. I thought we’re friends” Lisa sighed.

“I’ll talk to Maya and maybe she’ll know something more” Lottie proposed. 

“I don’t know if this is a good idea. I don’t want them to argue, who knows how she’s gonna act when she finds out that her boyfriend was talking for three months with another woman”

“You have a point… Just leave it behind and let the world decide what’s next” 

“Okay, let the world decide” Lisa giggled.

Sander didn’t find it funny when Lisa told him about this. He felt jealous that she was talking with him during lockdown. He wasn't a possessive type but now, when he heard the story, he started. Lisa never gave him a reason for that but her talking with Nico was suspicious for him. She tried to explain it to him, but he didn't want to listen. They’ve been on long distance since he moved and preferred to be careful. She decided to accept his change, knowing there’s no point to argue over something that’s not existing.

“You’re making a problem where there’s none” Lisa argued.

“I just don’t like you being all friendly with him. What’s so tough to understand?” Sander stated.

“Your behaviour is tough to understand” Lisa rolled her eyes. “We were just talking, nothing happened. He’s in America and I’m in Norway”

“Why are you acting so defensive?” Sander placed his hands on hip.

“Why are you acting like a dick?” 

“You’re emotional” Sander signed. “I just… I feel bad knowing that you’ve talked for three months with a different guy. Non stop to add”

“Baby, we’re together. I would never do anything to ruin our relationship. I love you and only you” Lisa hugged him. “Plus he’s in a relationship and I would never ruin another woman's happiness” She placed a kiss on his lips.

In November, to her surprise, Lisa was called up for the National Team. It was a dream for her to represent Norway and now she got the chance. She never thought that after her injury, she’ll be back in her form and the fact that she was in the squad just month after the recovery got her confidence back. 

Whole tournament was successful for Norway. They didn’t lose a game and celebrated a win. Lisa became champion of Europe. This was her first big win and she couldn’t believe it. At the beginning of the year, she was wondering if she’s even gonna come back to playing and now, she could celebrate being European champion.

When Lisa saw Nico’s comment, she felt confused.

He doesn’t talk with me for half of a year to say now that he’s proud of me? Why is he fucking up with my head?

June 29th, 2002

11:21

Mixcóatl, Amazon Rainforest

The world became a blur of browns and greens with a crash like artillery overhead. 

His hand closed around fabric, just as he felt something grasp at his forearm. Krauser and Leon avoided their doom by mere moments, the two of them falling to the forest floor just as whatever had found them shattered trees with the force of its attack. 

Just as it would have shattered their bones, if they’d been a second slower. 

Krauser grunted as the two of them hit the ground, their hold on each other strong as they scrambled in the mud. Pull each other up. Get to their feet. Their guns were raised in an instant, but as they turned, Krauser wasn’t entirely sure how much it would matter. 

The viper - or, what had once been a viper - was easily the size of Leon and Krauser put together. Peeling brown scales. Fangs dripping venom. Eyes like fire, an unnatural madness glowing there. 

The Major only got to take in that much information before the beast was lunging again, its hinge-jaw swinging open. 

He and Leon dove once more, a few shots ringing off in the jungle, piercing rotting hide. As if a handgun would do much against the beast bearing down on them. As it was, those bullets might have pierced the scales, but with the size of the creature they did little more than piss this thing off.

“Move!” Krauser commanded, hauling Leon along with him, just as the viper pulverized a small tree’s trunk with another bite. 

The two men crashed through the jungle, trying to put distance between them and their attacker. Krauser could feel the force of air moving as jaws snapped at their backs, each lunge coming within just a hair’s breadth of sinking into flesh. He started pulling Leon around trees, using the bigger ones as cover from the snake’s bites, hearing the massive body spring into the forest that now shielded them. They ran and ran and ran, until at last, the Major couldn’t hear their hunter any longer. 

He pressed himself up against a larger tree, Leon falling in at his side, both trying to quiet their breathing, guns at the ready. 

The rainforest around them was quiet, the blood pounding in Krauser’s ears making it difficult to tell where their enemy was.

He didn’t need to guess for long.

Too many fangs came at them, slashing down like knives from the brush. Krauser acted with what energy was left to him, without thinking. He pushed Leon out of the way, grunting as the massive snake crashed into the tree where the younger man had just been. The tree trunk splintered, a large chunk of it torn free as the snake recoiled. Its teeth missed Krauser, but the coiling body of the serpent was harder to avoid. 

The Major tried to rise, his aching, exhausted body moving just a touch too slow.

Then, with a crushing force, he felt warm, rotting scales against his skin, and the wind was knocked out of him as his body was pressed hard against splintered wood. He was sure his bones might crack under the sheer force of the body coiling against the damaged tree, trapping him there. 

He couldn’t escape, but his arms were free. 

Enough to slip his knife free of its sheath and start carving away at the viper’s body, trying desperately to dislodge it. To wound it enough that it might recoil. 

To survive. 

But that massive head reared up, undeterred as something burned at Krauser’s hands. The snake’s eyes flashed-

Then, with several gunshots, one of those eyes exploded in gore. 

Splattering of blood and hisses of pain were the sounds scoring Krauser’s escape, all accompanied by more gunshots as Leon fired. 

The viper thrashed back and forth, its remaining eye flashing in fury as it sprayed its blood across the forest floor. 

Blood that sizzled; that burned as drops of it found its way onto Krauser’s arm, singing his skin. 

He took off into the jungle towards the poor young bastard who’d been sent to hell with him, ducking under the snake as it whipped its head from side to side. The Major felt the thing nearly crush him as it doubled over, its underbelly hitting the forest floor. Not dead. Not yet. 

Krauser could see it still very much alive as he looked back, watching as it made a sound that . . . was it gagging? 

The Major didn’t really give himself time to think about it, turning and firing alongside Leon as soon as they were a good distance away. He didn’t have as much ammo left as he would like, but he hoped he’d have enough for this. 

He aimed for the second eye, and he aimed true. 

More boiling blood sprayed, and the creature hissed. Then came another retching sound, more thrashing that shattered bark and kicked up dirt. Krauser and Leon both backed away, keeping their weapons trained on the now-blind beast. 

It let them both see something coming up the snake’s neck, its rotting flesh distending as something was moved up its gullet. Then, with a whip of the snake’s head, whatever it was, was flung onto the forest floor.

Not what, but who. 

A tangle of limbs. Sizzling skin. Dissolved flesh and fabric. Jungle boots that were the only thing still intact. What little hair there had been was melted away. The face was twisted by stomach acid enough that Krauser almost couldn’t recognize him, but for the bullet hole still remaining right where he’d left it. 

Barnes. 

He stared at the corpse as the great snake darted away into the underbrush, feeling his world fracture that little bit more. 

And from those fractured points, more and more rage seeped into him. 

This thing was going to die. These monsters, and the man who unleashed them. They were all going to die. 

“Major-”

“Quiet, rookie!” Krauser snarled, eyes full of fire as he yanked the younger man to the side. A good thing, too, because a moment later, the beast sprung out of the trees, jaws snapping at where Leon and Krauser had just been standing. It whipped around, then, striking at nothing and everything, taking another chunk out of the massive, already damaged tree, making the whole of its body lean like it might fall, only to come to a stop, still holding on. Krauser steadied his breathing as he looked down, then, away from the threat of being crushed by a falling tree and towards the more present danger.

The first instinct would have been to fire. To defend themselves. If the snake had whirled on them for another attack, they might have. Instead, the monstrous tongue flicked out, tasting the air. 

If the creature was blind, now, it would search for them in other ways. 

Sound and scent. It didn’t matter how quiet the two of them were, Krauser realized that as the massive, angular head turned towards them. 

He’d been in the jungle for days upon days. He’d done his best to disguise his scent, to blend in with his surroundings. Leon hadn’t had that opportunity yet. That became painfully clear as the snake’s mouth began to split open. 

Another strike. One Krauser ducked away just in time. 

He heard a cry of pain, and the Major’s heart stopped. Without thinking, he struck out with his blade once more, trying to slice into the snake, but too late. 

Krauser could only watch in horror as Leon scrambled to his feet. Alive. For now. That wouldn’t remain the case for long, as the younger man desperately ran, the snake trailing after him. 

Their weapons were all but useless. Their hunter, unrelenting. 

And if Krauser didn’t act now, Leon would die. Another name on his conscience. One he absolutely couldn’t afford. 

So, a plan came to him. Desperate and half-formed, but he’d found success with less. He rose, dashing towards the tree that the viper had damaged, standing in front of the shattered wood. He fired his pistol over his shoulder as he went, bullets finding the peeling scales once more. The snake hissed in pain, and Krauser snarled in return as it turned to look at him, giving Leon time to get some distance. To get away.

Damned man had better take the opportunity, because Krauser wasn’t too keen on dying for him. 

That didn’t stop him from shouting, though, hoping the snake was enraged and stupid enough to take the bait. “Come on, you bastard!” Krauser roared, gun and knife at the ready. Not that either would matter. “Come on!”

A normal viper wouldn’t have been bothered. It wouldn’t have been hunting them like this at all. But this was the way of things, now. Nature taken and turned on its head, the order of things corrupted sure as the cells of the creature they now fought. A normal viper might not have taken the bait, it might have even avoided conflict with humans altogether. This one, though, was something else. Something that was all hunger and rage. 

Major Krauser had rage to match. 

So as Krauser shot, as he shouted, the massive serpent coiled. It rushed back towards him, death coming closer and closer. Aiming to swallow him, just as it had swallowed Barnes’ body. Aiming to end him, just as everything else in this godforsaken jungle had. 

But he wasn’t done yet. He couldn’t die. Not until his knife was buried in Javier Hidalgo’s neck. 

So, as the snake lunged, so too did Krauser. He dove to the side, feeling the snake’s open maw soar through the air. Krauser rolled, his back coated with fresh mud as there was a great cracking sound, thunderous and echoing through the trees. Then, creaking. The sounds of wood bending. Breaking. The shadow of the tree that had been barely holding on grew closer.

Then something smacked into Krauser’s back, whipping hard against his harness. The snake’s tail, knocking him back down, just as he was getting to his feet. The serpent turned towards Krauser, venom stringing between too many teeth. Readying itself as the tree began to fall-

Gunshots. More sizzling blood spraying the forest floor. A voice Krauser would recognize anywhere.

“Eat this, you son of a bitch!” 

Always got some stupid shit to say, don’t you rookie?

Again, the snake took the bait, drawn by sound and pain. It lunged towards where Leon stood, down the shadow of the tree growing more defined against the ground. Krauser rolled out of the way, looking up just in time to see the huge viper spring forward, jaws wide-

Then came a rush of leaves. Branches snapping, flesh parting, bones breaking. 

There was a sharp cry. Almost a bestial scream - one that was silenced as soon as it sounded. From under the fallen tree, Krauser could see that great, rotting, scaled body lay there, pinned and twitching. Fatigue sunk its claws into him, trying to keep him tethered to the ground. Still, he shrugged it off, managing to push himself up. He used the fallen tree as a support, dragging his aching body forward, knife and gun at the ready. 

He would need neither. 

Through the mass of fallen branches, Krauser could make out the aftermath of what happened; the snake’s neck nearly flattened under the bulk of the tree trunk, blood and mangled bone spilling out from under its hide. And beyond, Krauser could see that angular head. It may have missed the majority of the weight of the trunk falling on it, but it hadn’t been fortunate enough to avoid the thicker branches, one of which had snapped during the fall, it seemed, and impaled the snake’s head from above. 

It was done. Another threat neutralized, another obstacle between Krauser and his goal was overcome. 

The sight of Leon rising from the other side of the fallen tree, battered but mostly unharmed, was a comfort. 

The corpse lying just a few feet away, partially digested and forever marred, didn’t let any of that comfort take root. 

Resigned eyes peering up at him from down the barrel of a gun. A single nod. 

Krauser had tried to give Barnes a dignified end. It wasn’t guaranteed in this new world, he knew, but he’d tried. A bullet to the head. Clean. Quick. Barnes had faced it head on. A good soldier to the end. He would never get a proper burial. His body would never have gone home to his family. His father who was so proud of him and his mother who was apparently controlling but meant well, his sister who had just graduated college . . . they would all bury an empty casket. The body would remain here, in the dirt. Krauser knew that the forest would take it back. 

But seeing it . . . seeing the face of a man who’d accepted his death with bravery turned to a mess of twisted flesh . . . seeing his body thrown to the ground from the mouth of a monster . . .

“Major . . .” Krauser hadn’t even realized Leon had made his way around to his side. Bad form. Meant he wasn’t paying attention. 

Still, the Major couldn’t look away. Couldn’t tear his eyes off the physical manifestation of what had become of this all. Proud men - good men - thrown to the jungle to be torn apart and spat back out. 

And Leon Kennedy, the golden boy, had been thrown into hell too, not told about the bones he’d be walking over. 

And Leon would be dead too if he or Krauser made a single misstep. 

Wherever you were, whatever the circumstances, Krauser wouldn’t ever want to face you and have to tell you that he’d failed to protect Leon. 

He’d never want to face himself with that knowledge, either. 

“We need to keep moving,” Krauser muttered, schooling his expression into stone once more. He had his mission, and Leon had his. “If your target is dealing with Javier, then he’ll probably be with him. You can get the man you’re after, bring him in . . .” he turned to look at Leon, feeling that anger boiling just beneath the skin, “. . . and I can kill the man responsible for all this.” 

Leon’s brow pinched together, his eyes narrowing, framed by dark circles that had only seemed to get worse over the years. Painted by sleepless nights, no doubt. 

“Javier,” he said, speaking the name of a man who was as good as dead. “You’re going after him?” There was a sense of hesitation in his tone. 

Of course there was. Leon never liked killing. Even when it was necessary. No matter what Krauser had taught him, he hadn’t been able to eliminate that weakness. It wouldn’t surprise him if, in the years since training had ended, that trait had found a way to survive. One of many failures the Major was feeling the weight of, now.

“There a problem with that?” 

Leon grimaced, his gaze falling to the forest floor. “I was under orders not to touch Hidalgo.” 

That . . . well, given the state of everything else, given the fact that Krauser’s men had been denied rescue, given that he and everyone else had been left here to rot, that made sense. Just another thread in this thoroughly fucked up tapestry. 

“Let me guess,” Krauser smiled, but there was nothing but malice in the expression, “politics got involved?” Javier Hidalgo was the head of a cartel, after all. The operation to assassinate him and dismantle his empire had been black books for a reason. Too many interested parties involved. Too much at risk. No one could know that they were there - that the US sent men behind another country’s lines. So, someone had decided the risk wasn’t worth it to go after Hidalgo. Just the Umbrella contact supplying him. 

When Leon nodded, confirming the theory, Krauser scoffed. So, that was how it was. Another cover-up. Another few souls to preserve some illusion of peace. 

Didn’t matter now. All he and Leon could do was press forward. Soldier on. 

“You have your mission,” the Major said, resigned, “I’ll help you finish it. But I have my own. You can either help me put this bastard down when the time comes or stay out of my way. Got it, rookie?” 

Leon, for his part, didn’t protest. Funny. Krauser almost thought he would. “Understood, sir.” 

Maybe he was finally learning after all. 

“There’s a village close,” Krauser said eventually, looking out into the tree line. 

Leon nodded. “I know it. It’s where I was headed.” 

“Then we’ll make our way there,” Krauser agreed, sheathing his knife but keeping his gun out, checking the chamber and his ammunition. Not much, but enough. “Hope you brought plenty of bullets,” the Major said, not allowing himself to feel the exhaustion trying to coax him down.  

He no sooner started moving than Leon spoke again. “Major-” his voice was different than it had been all those years ago. Stronger. Lower. Like maybe the golden boy had finally stooped into the mud with the rest of them. It didn’t quite match the words he spoke, still idealistic. Still clinging to some pipe dream of a better world. “We’ll make it right.”

There it was. That Boy Scout attitude. That optimism.

Krauser didn’t know how it had survived all these years. Everyone else seemed to have learned. They understood.

You understood. Better than anyone, you’d come to understand the bitter truth. Maybe that was why things had gone the way they had, though. You understood, but Leon still couldn't.

 “Thought you’d have learned by now, rookie,” the Major scoffed, his voice hollow as he looked back at the younger man. “There is no ‘right’ anymore.”

Starting the scene with Tim keeping an eye on Lucy, from his lookout, is such a fitting metaphor for him… He's always been protective of her, even more so after Day of Death. There's no one else she trusts more to have her back - and, honestly, I doubt he fully entrusts anyone with her safety. That's partly why he's offended when Nolan reminds him that she can take care of herself : this isn't the issue, he is fully aware of how capable she is. He's just terrified of losing her. That's this fear that is driving him for a big part of the episode. And, unfortunately, this op - Lucy's very first undercover mission - happens at a very inopportune time.

We saw how at the beginning of the episode, he was feeling comfortable enough to talk about Isabel and undercover work. It's the first time he actually mentions her name umprompted or without shutting down right away. He was even able to remember those fond memories without them hurting. His smile reflected his healing and progress in moving on… That is, until his friend Mack showed up high, his mistress in tow, and almost died. Reopening Tim's old wounds at the same time. His whole demeanor changed after that : he became more guarded, more tense. So learning that Lucy was sent on an undercover op right after - a mission he knew nothing about - was understandably triggering. If he was already getting nervous when he realised she was interested in this line of work, it paled to how he was feeling after that. He saw firsthand with both Isabel and Mack how the department turned the other way when something went wrong, so his reservations made perfect sense. This is one more person he cares about that he's afraid of losing to the undercover world. Unfortunately, as valid as his apprehension was, lashing out when Lucy was getting ready wasn't the best move.

He's not the only one being anxious here : so is Lucy - although for a different reason. His opinion matters to her the most, so she was naturally hoping for his support. Her confidence was visibly shaken after his disapproval. But somehow, it makes her conversation in the van with Nyla and June that much more heartwarming, with the way these two are trying to boost her confidence and help her relax. To reassure her as well. Nyla's mentorship is truly special : I feel like there's a side of her we only get to see with Lucy. Her approach is so different from Tim's and yet, they perfectly complement each other, giving Lucy various perspectives and shaping her into the well-rounded officer she now is. And she excels here, showing how really smart she is, between her knowledge in chemistry and her language skills, and how good she is under pressure. The thing with her is that she's mainly unassuming, leading most people to underestimate her… Something that she gets to use to her advantage and turn against them. She manages to use her fear, like Nyla advised her, adding a dash of a 'devil may care' attitude in the mix, and it works wonder for her undercover persona. The fact that she was able to improvise this well without any proper training just proves how skilled she truly is. And I like that this also taps into her background in psychology. Her potential is undeniable.

For someone who was positioned relatively far away, Tim gets to the roof really fast for the arrest… suggesting that the second Lucy got into that car, he quickly abandoned his post so he could get closer to her, should she need help. And how telling is it that he makes sure that he's the one arresting her. His little 'You okay?' betrays how worried and antsy he is. He couldn't even wait for them to be in a more secluded place, like in the shop, before asking her… He's also so careful with her when he arrests her, one hand on her shoulder, the other holding her hands - a complete contrast to John who is practically dragging Nyla by her elbow. The way Lucy looks rather closed off when she goes to sit in the shop, not knowing what to expect after his outburst from earlier, and just lights up as he compliments her… His approval means so much to her. We saw her unwavering faith in him when she admitted previously that she knew he would find her, no matter what it took. She deserves the same so it is a really great moment to see him empower her again, putting aside his feelings on the matter. I don't know if it was Nyla's or Nolan's comments that made him think… maybe both, maybe neither. But he took the time to do a little introspection and realises that in that moment, this is about Lucy. At the end of the day, he wants her to succeed. He wants to support her, not make her doubt herself. And as someone who is aware of his complicated relationship with undercover work, she can fully appreciate his gesture. She never really had that kind of unconditional support before, so this means so much to her. Nyla piling on with her proud wink was perfect. Short and simple but just as meaningful.

Stargirl ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

I made a poll asking if you guys wanted smut in this part and everyone who voted said yes so I hope this is good 😇

Part 1, part 2, part 3!!

Ellie x reader

You and Ellie are friends. You're hanging out with your other friends again. You've even meeting new people. Everything's working out for you finally. But you aren't fully over Ellie, and after a certain night at her apartment you don't think you ever will be.

Content warning - jealousy, sexual themes... Use of a strap-on, a little bit of mean Ellie 🤭!!

You check yourself in the mirror one last time before opening the door, nervous about your second date with Abby. She's standing there smiling, with a small bouquet in one hand and the other in her back pocket. She's wearing some jeans and a plain white tee-shirt.

"Hi" she says, handing you the bouquet, "you look amazing."

You smile and take the flowers from her, "thank you Abby. You don't look too bad yourself." You wink and open the door further, inviting her to come in while you put the flowers in water.

She follows you to the kitchen and seat on one of your barstools. "Are you excited? I heard this place has such good pasta and lobster." You nod and rearrange the flowers in the vase before looking up at her.

This was only your second date and you guys weren't dating yet. But Abby has already spoiled you so much.. with that surgeon salary 😋😋

"You ready to go? We should make it before the dinner rush." You hum and smooth out your dress before following her out to your car. Making sure to lock your door on the way out.

She opens the passenger seat door for you and helps you step into the car. She gets into the drivers seat and starts to drive to the restaurant.

"So, you like to read?" Abby asks after a few minutes of silently eating. You look up at her and nod, "yeah.. I've loved reading ever since I was little."

She smiles, "I was never much of a reader. I love to listen to audio books in the car though." You hum in understanding and take another bite of food. "This is so good. I gotta take a picture of this." Abby laughs as you pull out your phone and snap a few pictures of you expensive meal.

"Tag me in those!!" She says playfully pointing her finger at you. You smile, "yes sir."

You quickly post a picture of the food with her tagged on your instagram story before turning off your phone and getting back to your conversation.

Ellie was happily getting high and scrolling on her phone until she saw your newest instagram story. Who was this Abby girl 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐

Ellie had clicked on her username and was scrolling through her posts. She had recently graduated and became an official surgeon, she was at a pride festival in June so she's fruity, and she was super fucking buff.

Ellie scoffed. She doesn't even have the right to be jealous. You guys were friends. You made it very clear that you only wanted to be her friend. But Ellie couldn't help the way her stomach turned when she saw the fancy table with the expensive food and the buff lesbian in your picture.

She took another hit of her blunt before opening your messages.

heyyy, are you free tonight? i want to finish the ultimatum

She didn't even know why she was texting you. Was she trying to prove that you didn't need Abby? Did she actually just want to finish the season you started watching together? Or was she just needing your attention after you went out on a date? Ellie didn't fucking know, all she knew was that she wanted to see you.

After a few minutes you respond.

Hi els that sounds perfect. I can be there around 10 if that's good for u

mkay, i'll see you then.

Ellie smiled at the messages and decided to get some snacks ready.

You sigh as you close your apartment door. Your dates with Abby have been fun, but you haven't been connecting romantically. She tried to kiss you goodnight and you literally swerved so she'd kiss your cheek instead...

It just felt wrong for some reason. It was hard for you to put yourself out there ever since you and Ellie broke up and Ellie texting you in the car wasn't helping. You can't help the butterflies you get when she texts you asking if you wanna hang out 💁‍♀️

Just you and her..

You felt like how you felt when you first met Ellie. 18 years old and so in love. But you were 24 now and Ellie and you were just friends.

Buuuuut, wearing a matching set under your shorts and t-shirt never hurt anybody.. (and wearing one of the t-shirts you never returned to Ellie 🤭🤭)

You get changed and wash the makeup off your face before getting a tote bag and putting some extra clothes and a phone charger in it.

You catch yourself GIGGLING on the way over to Ellie's..

Jesus christ....... you were so beyond saving.

You make it to Ellie's after a 10 minute drive, knocking on her door softly.

When the door opens you're met with a smiling Ellie who def looked a little bit faded..

"Damn. You couldn't have waited to share?" You fake a pout and Ellie snorts, "shut up, I was bored waiting for your ass."

You laugh and come in her apartment, you take your shoes off before following her into her room and getting comfy against her pillows. She throws you the remote so you can turn on Netflix and goes to get the snack from the kitchen.

"So what were you up to today?" She asks as she walks back in with some popcorn and you favorite candy. You get under her comforter and pat the spot next to you. "I had dinner with someone."

Ellie nods and puts down the snacks to get cozy next to you, "someone I know?"

You shake you head, "I met her on a dating app. Abby, she's nice."

Ellie scowls slightly, even though she already guessed all of this. But her scowl makes your butterflies double.

"Ready to press play?"

You say yes and play episode 9 as you snuggle closer to her.

"What the fuck did I just watch?" Ellie looks over at you but you sit there with a shocked face.

It was now 12:53 and you and Ellie had finished the season. You were both flabbergasted to say the least.

"I can't believe she was even allowed to be there.. whatttt.."

Ellie shakes her head and leans on your shoulder, "I'm so glad that no matter how much shit we put each other through we never tried to get on this show."

You laugh in agreement before sighing, "do you think we could've worked?"

Ellie turns to look at you and smiles sadly, "I think we were only hurting each other by the end. We needed to seperate so we could grow without each other for a while."

You look her in the eye and nervously mess with the blanket. "Do you think we could work now? Now that we've healed?" You watch as Ellie's eyes widen and she starts to pick at her nails. You grab her hand to stop her.

"Ellie?"

She looks down at your hand on hers and takes a deep breath. "I don't think we'd know until we tried."

You get move so your sitting in front of her and get closer, "can we try?"

Ellie gulps and looks at you, her eyes trail down to your lips before she runs her hand up your arm and pulls you into herself. You squeak as her lips meet yours. One of her hands rests on your back and pushes you closer to her as the other holds your cheek. Your arms wrap around her neck so you can move to straddle her lap.

Ellie moves one of her hands down to squeeze your thigh, you moan and she uses that as her invite to explore your mouth with her tongue.

You pull away after a while and immediately feel her lips start to attack your jaw. "Ellie, please.."

She smiles and continues to press sloppy kisses against your neck, "please what?"

You whine and grind against her thigh, "I need you.. needed you for so long.." You slide your hands up to lightly pull on her hair. Ellie moves her hands down to your hips, helping you move against her. "Really baby? Has my poor girl not been getting fucked enough?"

You bite your cheek and nod, "els, you're the only one who knows what I need." Ellie kisses you again and flips you over so she's hovering over you.

She pulls at your t shirt, "can I take this off baby?" You nod eagerly and help her as she slips it off your body. She takes a second to stare at your figure before going back to kisses your neck, gently sucking in the places she knows make you whine.

You buck your hips up to meet hers as she trails her lips all the way down to your waistband. She presses one last kiss on your stomach before touching your shorts, "these too?"

"Please-"

She immediately pulls your shorts down, noticing your matching lacy underwear and bra. "You fucking whore." She laughs, "you had this all planned? Wanted me to see you in your set? Even chose my favorite color." You squeal when she pulls on your under wear band and watches it snap back against you skin.

"Please els, only for you.."

She licks her lips and looks at the needy expression on your face. "Want do you want first pretty girl?"

You look down at her and try to rub your thighs together but she keeps them open. "Your mouth, please els"

She smiles up at you and starts to pull down your underwear. "Take off your bra for me sweets." You obey her and unclasp your bra, tossing it in your pile of clothes on her floor. She bites her lip as she looks down at your figure, "fuck baby, missed you so fucking much." She brings her hands up to squeeze your tits as you whine and buck your hips up again.

"Missed you too el-" you're cut off by Ellie's hands leaving your chest and her tongue on your cunt. You moan at the feeling.

You've had hook ups since you and Ellie broke up, but no one has ever managed to get you to cum the way Ellie can.

Ellie starts to kitten lick your cunt, bringing her lips up to close around your clit. She starts to suck your clit as she teases you with her finger. You grab onto her hair with on hand, pushing her head deeper into your pussy while your other hand gropes your tits.

"Ellie.. Oh my god.." She grins into your skin and pushes her middle finger into your tight hole, she feels like it's getting pulled deeper and deeper inside of you. You bite down on your lip due to the pleasure.

Ellie continues to eat you out like she's been starving. She tongue circling your clit as she's adds another finger, pumping then in and out of you at the same pace of her tongue. You moan as you back arches off the bed, "please els! 'M gonna-"

She works her fingers faster and moans against your cunt, "do it baby, cum on my fingers." You feel her start to suck on your clit again and you reach your breaking point.

You feel the chord in your stomach snap and Ellie works you through it as you come down from your orgasm. Ellie smiles up at you and pulls her fingers out, politely cleaning up your cum with her tongue.

"Fuck Ellie" you try to catch your breath, pulling her head away by her hair. She comes up to straddle you, kissing you passionately as she runs her hands up and down your sides.

She rests her forehead against yours once you break the kiss. "Was that okay? I didn't do anything that made you uncomfortable?" She asks as she traces shapes into your skin. You shake your head, "no you were perfect. Do you want me to return the favor?"

Ellie smiles at you and perks her head up like a dog, "do you feel like you can ride?"

You playfully roll your eyes and hit her arm, "of course that's what you want."

She shrugs and pecks your lips again. You laugh and nod, "just give me a minute."

Ellie's smile gets bigger and she gets off of you, going to her night stand to get out the purple strap 😈😈👽😈😈

You watch as she strips in front of you. Showing off her toned body and cute black sports bra and boxers. You sit up and watch as she sits back down on the bed and lubes her fake dick. "Ready baby?" She smiles as you get closer, nervously hovering over her strap. "It's gonna hurt els."

She kisses your forehead, "promise I'll help you babe, we don't have to use it tonight if you don't wanna." You shake your head and wrap your arms around her neck.

"I want to."

Ellie squeezed your ass and grabs your hips to help guide them down, "that's my fucking girl." You whine as you start to feel her strap stretching you so well. You nails dig into Ellie's back as she helps you bottom out. You bite her shoulder to help you as you start to tear up. Ellie moans at the pain.

Once she's the full way in she kisses you, moving her tongue against yours so perfectly. "Did so good, pretty girl. Are you ready to move?"

You nod and start to lift your hips, Ellie helps you form a rhythm as you kiss her neck. Her strap is filling you so perfectly as you hear her praises. "So good baby, feels so good." You start to speed up, making sure to grind against her a little bit every time you bottom out so you can see her reaction every time you bump her neglected clit. "Oh my god els" you whine.

Ellie smiles at you and starts to meet your hips as she trusts up into you. One of her hands move from your hips and you bite your lip so hard it starts to bleed when you feel her fingers start to rub circles on your clit and she takes one of your nipples in her mouth.

All you can say is her name. She smiles at you and slaps your ass. "You think Abby could make you feel like this?" She brings her hand up to force you to look at her. You moan, "els!!"

She slaps your cheek. "Answer me."

You whine and shake your head rapidly, "no!! She couldn- Els!! 'M cumming!"

You slam your lips into hers as she helps you ride your second orgasm. "So good baby. You did so good. Everything okay? Did I go to rough?"

You shake your head as you come down and kiss her shoulder, your eyes starting to droop."I love you els."

She wraps her arms around your sides and gives you a kiss. "I love you too y/n. I think you need some water and some sleep. We can talk more about us tomorrow?"

You shake your head, "what about you els? I want to make you feel good too.."

She laughs and slowly lifts you up off of her and onto the bed. "Don't worry about me right now pretty girl. All I needed was to see you." You smile at her and she kisses your temple before getting off the bed and leaving the room.

You eventually get up and go to the bathroom and when you come back into Ellie's room you see her sitting in bed with a cup of water for you. She's in a new shirt and boxers and has laid out your pjs that you packed in your tote bag.

You smile at her and change before getting in bed and immediately hooking onto her side. She kisses the top of your head before turning off her lamp and laying her head down. "Good night gorgeous."

"Night els."

CRINCESS DIARIES 001: XOXO

XOXO. How that title came about I am not entirely sure I remember but it honestly most likely was something as stupid as me haphazardly naming the ableton session with a keyboard smash and then liking it afterwards. Kiss Hug Kiss Hug! Used to mean a lot more in the world of written messages, now I just add an x after every single text, not so much o's.... o's don't really show up much these days.

Looking back at the very very first idea of it, dated to June last year I think, it was just called "skinny", probably because the only lyric I had at that point was "you're so skinny and you don't even have to try." It was a lot funkier sounding in the beat, very glad I didn't go for that vibe!!!!

It has been a while since I released but my approach is the same. Mess around on ableton, find a chord sequence and pedal effect I like, add a bassline I like and a drum pattern that sounds cool that will be heavily influenced by the music Im listening to at that period of time. Add lyrics. Sometimes lyrics come before. Sometime it's a mix. I was finally messing around a bit with my Sun Light Delay pedal's effects, one of the settings gives it this wobbly gliding weird delay which I found so fucking cool and I knew I wanted to use it in a song. It suited the chords a lot too. I used pre-programmed drums for this, again I wanted speed.

I wanted this to be in the world as soon as fucking possible, but I kept procrastinating until I met Alex to talk about working on it together. Its good to have someone to hold you accountable when you're someone who loves putting shit off.

I finally got my shit together and had some stems ready for him in November, then he did the mixing, and it was sounding really really sick. And then the master was ALSO sounding really really sick. It was complete! A finished track ready for release in over a year - j'etáis buzzin girls. Then decided the release date would be January 15, day before schedule for my Eurosonic show in the Netherlands.

We did two shoots for this era of CS, both with longtime collaborator and partner in crime Kathy Hayes. I had long ass hair in the first one, and then chopped it all for the second.

These two are the main press shots I use at the moment as a result

The vibe overall was just cunty as fuck. We were delighted with them, and I did this shoot with XOXO in mind MONTHS before it's release and even completion. But as it turned out I needed even more pictures, so we did a second shoot.

We felt the second one was lacking the ?? cuntiness or idk I just was not serving face as much in the second one hahah but we tried to work with it. But the images from the second shoot were more interesting composition wise. Kathy thought it would be cool to put a load of my manga sprawled out in front of me with (broken) bluetooth headphones, and my macbook, and it translated pretty good on camera. I never think to use props for shoots so she really saved the day with that I think.

This was the initial XOXO cover art >>>

This goes hard afffffff and it seemed to be the obvious choice. Pretty happy with the symbol/sigil I drew also, and so that became what was uploaded initially to the distributor.

I then was brainstorming with Ruth (manager) for what would be the single announcement post, and this image felt good for it (after deciding that looking like I was naked behind the bass was not embarrassing and in fact, cunty)

And I was like haha this should be the single art lowkey haha oh well! too late now.... BUT IT WASN'T

We realised this felt stronger and more striking than the previous one

And so it became the final final art !! With the symbol then added in a more subtle way.

I did worry that this image would seem a little misleading because I'm not a bassist at my own shows, but then I was like I LITERALLY played the bass (and everything else) on this track (technically Ableton played the drums) so it is in fact, not misleading, and actually an insight into how amazing, multitalented and sexy a musician I am. Probably. I hope.

Et voila - the single is out on all streaming services! Thanks to Alex, Joe, Ruth and Kathy.

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥

Hi! Thank you for the asks and grhugehgiebfe I adore you so I’m honored you thought of me. 🥹

I have another of these asks in my inbox for AGES and was waiting to find ideas on my sims. But it’s so hard cause I post everything! And when I finally had a list, your ask arrived in my inbox. So great timing 💙 and sorry ruth I swear I will answer yours someday lol

So previously I had done Aria Sapphire. Let’s do her son, Arthur Sapphire. Most facts are probably already available somewhere buuuuuut….. A little sum up of how my favorite current father was doing is always great (he’s a mess).

I’ll go from random to ✨ juicy ✨

Arthur loves playing violin even if it’s been a while since he had time to as a father. He’s been taking classes at the June School of Arts since childhood. Most of his friends come from that violin class. Ericka Martinez (then Lambert), his cousin, also was in the same violin class. (But she’s not as good lol)

He had the soulmate aspiration as a teen and then the serial romantic aspiration as a young adult. (It explains why I played him super messy in relationships hehe.

As a teen it seems he didn’t know what contraception is and his highschool sweetheart Margarita François became pregnant. No one knows, like really NO ONE. Except those two. Margarita decided to get an abortion, she really was overwhelmed and everything was done in hush hush.

Arthur was engaged three times and at the altar twice. His first and second engagements were to Margarita François. The first time was after the pregnancy hush hush thingy but Margarita ended their relationship the first time. Arthur then fooled around, then went back to Margarita but started missing flirting and was asked to put a ring on it by ✨ family pressure ✨ and also Margarita felt ready that time. So he went to the altar and… called off the wedding there. 👀 Third and last engagement (I HOPE) is to Jillian. n_n

Oh and remember when he got married to Jillian? This was super fast. Yeah. He did. Not really want to get married at first but hm…. ✨ family pressure ✨ again. 👀 But like super big pressure, Jillian was invited by his family to live with them. And apparently the dude does not how to say no. (IT ENDED OKAY, he still loves Jillian, but would have definitely preferred a long engagement but my girl wanted her big family)

Ok I hope you like those facts and it gives more insights on who Arthur is. 🙃 (This also explains why I’m always so surprised whenever he’s happy as a father and HOW MUCH he boasts about his family 😭)

Cold Cave / Black Marble / Choir Boy @ Warsaw, N.Y.C.; June 14, 2018.

Hello, Warsaw. We meet again. It’s been seven months since I first visited the Polish powerhouse on Driggs Avenue in Greenpoint, one of my all-time favorite places to visit. That was when I attended Hospital Productions 20th Anniversary showcase and it became an unforgettable experience. This time, it’s a shorter affair featuring only three acts: Choir Boy, Black Marble, and headliner Cold Cave. The ritual is the same as last time and every time. Wait on the platform, take the train, hop on the subway line, and arrive in the neighborhood none more blacker where you stand against the venue’s wall. It was all clear out. Thursday’s warm air and blue skies was not symbolic of the night’s wicked-black climax. I called my sis- to tell her how euphoric I was feeling, experiencing these days and moments I normally don’t but should more often. For every time I waited entry at Warsaw, there was always someone from Stony Brook who I would randomly spot. Last time it was WUSB’s Cornflower zipping past on his bike. Now it’s Marcel, my queer friend from The Stony Brook Press whom I took a quick two seconds to be sure it was him. I was right. We hugged each other and then my anxiety shot up because I haven’t seen him since The Press’ 35th and the venue was ready to open its’ doors. He had to leave anyway for Ru Paul’s Drag Race, the diet of queer champions, but promised him we’d resume catching up down the road.

The line now entered Warsaw. Unlike Hospital’s instant get-go, we waited almost an hour for the opening act to go. Salt Lake City’s Choir Boy was first up, self-proclaimed Mormons (kidding or not) currently signed to Dais Records. They’re a spot-on bullseye of Eighties-aesthetic synthpop, new wave, and light goth-rock that was pleasing and lush. Never abrasive but gentle, breezy, and aurally sentimental. Adam Klopp’s vocals make the outfit’s namesake (he has sung in church choirs), hitting high notes just floating above the collective’s perfect dream world. Their synths, guitars, beats, and riffs and basslines fall right into my current Eighties kick, keeping the vibe alive. And note Kyle Hooper’s dangling earring when he’s right behind synths…

Black Marble was one of two reasons why I chose to be there. WUSB’s Nightmare Aquarium is responsible for making me a fan of theirs during a summer’s transition to Lindenhurst. Their output has been nothing but good to me. To this day, their sound is one I have yet to figure out and that’s a great thing. Chris Stewart / Black Marble got a great standing ovation revisiting his Brooklyn hometown as a new Los Angeles resident. It didn’t change the total mood or quality of his music if ever the slightest. Still a two-man two-guitar outfit without Ty Kube and a drum machine, Black Marble got right to it filling the vastness with said guitars and drum machines upfront as Stewart’s vocals receded far away and above into the open space. Even if there’s a cold, distant, low-fidelity quality in Black Marble, things somehow sound upbeat for its rays of sunshine. A clean perfect set all the way through.

Cold Cave finally take the stage. It can be said (and said again many times here) that they were one of the essential summer sparks igniting my personal revitalization of sorts during the post-economic crash. From then on, their songs continuously watermarked some of the better key moments in my life without fail, so it’s why I paid a visit to see them live as a thank-you. Wes Eisold made his entrance along with wife Amy Lee (guitars, synths), Ryan McMahon (drums), and Nils Blue (guitars) to open the set with songs from You & Me & Infinity. The New Order-inspired “Glory” really got the crowd going. Soon, New York City got a special treat only for themselves: an appearance by Genesis P-Orridge to perform “Comprehension”, her 2015 collaboration with Cold Cave and Black Rain. It’s her residency, so why not have Cold Cave make the most of their visit? Then the blinding “Heaven Was Full” and later on their marquee hit “Confetti”, which to me was the entire night.

Then, flashing solid colors went wild as Cold Cave went into “Rainbow Girls” mode, the only time the show went color. What did we win? A visit by author Max G. Morton of Eisold’s Heartworm Press, who came on-stage to deliver “Heavenly Metals” before Cold Cave’s ultimate closeout. Morton was decked in all black just like their set, standing tall and no doubt couldn’t be fucked with as he spewed his brand of cold despotic mean testimony. A few more songs and the night was history. Cold Cave delivered one of the most powerful performances I ever felt. McMahon’s drums hit hard, loud and clear through Eisold, Lee, and Blue’s blasting synths and guitars. Most of their setlist and songs I hoped they’d play was more I could ever ask for. “Confetti” was the start of a new era for me when all was almost lost. “Comprehension” has become one of my all-time favorite songs of this decade, if not, ever. “Glory” followed suit to become a new memorable winter favorite of mine. The string of favorables still keeps coming from them. With a new American Nightmare record out, it’s Eisold’s winning year. No bullshit, no moshing, no shoving; save for the guy standing next to me (and it had to be him) who was furiously stomping the venue floor to the point of near-collapse, and almost tearing the venue’s front rail off. Someone was a little into himself at the show, no?

My second visit to Warsaw in as many months was just like the first. Randomly encounters with friends from Stony Brook, amazing line-ups in an amazing venue, and another day in Greenpoint where the fever pitch comes from being in a great place in a great time and having the right ties with specific people. It’s not every day I experience it, but when I do, I feel like with all the motherfuckers and fishnet-wearing witches around me in Boy Harsher, Joy Division, Cat Power, and D.S.-13 shirts, I hit the jackpot.

hello. You are ill and I’m trapped on a four hour road trip, so fandom malarkey. Have you ready any good books lately and what set off your current corinthiel craze?

Oh @zorawitch! A FOUR HOUR road trip!! I hope it flies by for you! ❤️ I'll do what I can to help entertain you in the meantime.

I have not in fact read any good books lately... Most shamefully. Mainly because I've been inundated with other forms of amazing media these past few months. TV wise I would highly recommend The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix, Bodies on BBC IPlayer, Loki series 1 and 2 on Disney Plus and I've recently got round to watching True Detective series one. And honestly it's one of the most phenomenonal pieces of television I've ever watched! Also, if you can access it and you like a bit of eldritch comsic horror, I'd recommend the Lovecraft Investigations Podcast on BBC sounds. It's a modern take on some HP Lovecrafts tales and it's superb.

Oh no, you've asked about Corinthiel... What have you done? Run.. Run now. 😅

My Corinthiel obbsession actually isn't as sudden as it appears. It began in May with @ibrithir-was-here 's most beloved Endless Heirs/Corinthian Bros AU. In that Dream raises Daniel as his heir and the first and second Corinthian coexist.. And well, young Dani and Cori 2.0 are 'very' friendly 😏. That got the wheels turning in my mind. Later that same month I wrote and posted 'Dandelion Wishes' (Now 'Turn of the Wheel' ) here on Tumblr, which revolved around the canon relationship between Daniel and the second Corinthian. And I've been in love with the pairing ever since. I also remember planting the seeds of Corinthiel incredibly unsubtley in my dreamling fic Metamorphosis back in June 😅. It was always my plan for that to be a huge part of the sequel.

As with most rare pairs though, (and Corinthiel is one of the rarest in the Sandman fandom.) With lack of content and no one to play with, your attention drifts to other places. That was until I met @bobbole 🤍💚. My Corinthiel partner in crime, and we've been bouncing off each other creatively and feeding each other's obbsession ever since. 😅

Why Corinthiel? Articulating it with my head full of cold and cough syrup may not be the best time, so bear with me. 😅 But oh this ship is so layered and beautiful. Both the Second incarnation of the Corinthian and Daniel are 'reborn' so to speak at a similar time. In a period of immense change and turmoil, with everyone else around them mourning what has gone, they two symbolise renewal, a restart, the second chance, the next generation. They both share the journey of being both a remnant of the past, and yet their own individuals. Old and new. And it's an understanding and experience that binds them so poetically. That's a path they can walk together, rather then alone. Not to mention their shared history. The second Corinthian was created to find and protect Daniel Hall, that was his purpose. And I like to think he never stopped, even when Daniel became Dream. Plus, to the Corinthian, he was Daniel first, and there's a sense of self there, seperate from Dream and Morpheus that must be so valued. Reflected in Daniel seeing the second Corinthian as a different entity to the first... Something only they can see one each other.

I could go on, but honestly though, like any ship, it's something that just clicks. Something that calls to you that says, these two are my beloveds. 😅 But thank you for asking and giving me a chance to rant on insanely. ❤️❤️

May your journey be a fast, enjoyable one @zorawitch. And I can't wait for your next fic whatever it may be. If you're a fan of Desire, the Twins or Desunity, please go check out their work on A03. I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Good day everyone!

As I promised, here is an uncovering of my OC's personality. Please, meet Sara Branton (pronounce: she/her)!

She is a character for my "Transformers: Prime" AU. Sara ia a middle-aged woman, a widow (her first husband died during the war they both took part in) and a retired field medic who works as a surgeon in Jasper. She is a half-German; her mother Gretchen married an American and moved to New-York many years ago, although the old lady still owns a great house in Europe. Sara has an adult daughter Alexa - they are very close, although the girl wasn't able to live with her mother during the childhood because of Sara's first job and post-war recovering period (Sara's PTSD is still too deep; often nightmares don't let her sleep). Friends and ex-comrades sometimes call the woman Bagheera (like a panther from Kipling's "Jungle book") - it was her code-name on the buttle field; she doesn't mind that. Sara is very good at medicine, chemistry and mechanics. Moreover, she is an eager learner who is always ready to study something new.

As for my AU, one night Sara was driving home after an exhausting surgery in a neighbour town when she got into a car crush - unconscious and bleeding, she was found by Bumblebee and delivered to the Autobot base where Ratchet took good care of her. Two doctors who had a lot in common got attached to each other sincerely and made strong friendship which later grew into love. Of course, Sara met other Team Prime's members as well; as soon as she recovered, the woman started helping new alien friends in their war, combining her rich experience with knowledges she could get, digging into unusual nature of strange metal creatures she was bound to co-work with. Although, she had never chosen a side; after everything Sara had seen in her life and everything she had discovered about the new battle she participated in, the woman only wanted peace and, while fighting with bots against 'cons, she did her best to fix the conflict. At last, she managed to return Starscream (he became her confidant) and Megatron on a bright side what ment the dissolution of his army - unfortunately, it led Sara to the end of her existence...

Ratchet was in pain; he didn't want to believe it was over for his human "wife". In order to that, he created a new metal body for Sara and succeeded to translate her personality in the electronic mind. The woman turned into a transformer; nevertheless she had never forgotten where she belonged and continued introducing herself as a human.

Some facts:

Favorite songs: "Black Velvet" Alannah Myles, "Ironic" Alanis Morissette

Favorite color: Brown

Languages: English, German

Hobbies: Singing, playing the guitar, cooking

Favorite clothes(when she was biologically a human): jeans + shirts/blouses/sweatshirts. (She loves earrings).

Alt-mode: Jet/Big Bot (Optimus Prime's size)/ Small Bot (human size)

Best friends: June Darby, Optimus Prime, Starscream.

Enemies: the American officer who is guilty for her first husband's death.

Quotes:

1) "It seems the old panther is in charge again!"

2) "If a life of a one human is enough to finish an entire war - I'm ready to give mine..."

3) (To Starscream) - "Thank you for teaching me to fly..."

Vore position: Always prey

P.S: On the second photo there is an Autobot symbol on Sara's shoulder; unfortunately, it was added by me long before I built the story completely, and such detail is inherently wrong. How I said, the character doesn't belong to any fraction - she is just a diplomat who tries to bring harmony to this world.

Being recommended this post in June 2024 is really weird as it turns out 2022 really wasn’t the find out year.

Warner Bros has realised the issues with the bitch and is trying to buy HP off of her so they can have their flagship series back with less complications with evidence of what the franchise without how looks like with Hogwarts Legacy as their main example and the reboot series on the horizon. (Funnily they are refusing to pay her a George Lucas Disney buyout sum of money like she wants but much less)

NFTs are dead but AI immediately became a thing so Meta has switched tack immediately and is doing quite well

Trump is now a felon but it’s still looking likely that he will become president

Alex Jones still grifting despite the prospect of his social media accounts being seized from him

The Tories survived two years before calling an election but do seemed to be screwed but the British far right party, Reform UK, is set to do very well despite a number of candidates linked to British neo nazi and fascist movements with some straight up saying hitler was right

Today Putin has signed an agreement with North Korea to create a defence pact

The GOP has somehow managed to get their shit together and is ready to implement project 2025 on day one of a new trump administration which would change America to a dictatorship

Prime video is having one of its best eras in recent memory with critical success like Fallout with the second season of Rings of Power airing soon

Fantastic Beasts is suspended indefinitely.

Musk is begging for cash because he made the stupidest purchase in internet history.

Zucky Wucky is hemorrhaging cash because the Metaverse goal of becoming the NFT successor of real estate speculation was met with the deserved mockery at how stupid it was.

Trump is finally being properly prosecuted for crimes he unquestionably and very inconspicuously committed.

Alex Jones owes a billion dollars to Sandy Hook victims.

The Tories are imploding in a schism that might actually result in the collapse of the British empire.

Putin has ran out of army and crawled pathetically to the corner a tiny insurgent army pushed him towards, decades of military propaganda burnt away in months.

Prime Minister Shinzō Abe died with no glory.

The GOP is so confused after the Trump era they don't even know how to run their grifts anymore.

Rings of Power was such a mediocre release Amazon could potentially drop Prime Video altogether.

Turns out 2022 was really the "find out" year. It took a while but I'm loving this season finale so far.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds may be high profile parents, but they've done their best to keep their four young children–James, Inez, Betty, and Olin—out of the public eye. Though they constantly make headlines, Lively and Reynolds are fierce protectors of their privacy, rarely sharing information about their children or taking them along to public appearances. In 2021, Lively even called out an Instagram account for posting paparazzi photos of Reynolds walking with their three daughters, saying “Some parents are ok with this. We. Are. NOT.”  The family of four has been over a decade in the making. The Deadpool & Wolverine and Another Simple Favor stars linked up fifteen years ago on the set of The Green Lantern. After two years of dating, they wed in 2012, with a brood of babies following suit. And four children may not be enough for this power couple. In June of 2024, Reynolds revealed that he would welcome more additions to the family, telling E! News that he wants “As many as possible. As many little heartbeats as possible, just running around, wrecking stuff in the house. I love it. Let’s have more!”  Though they don't share too much about their young children, Lively will sometimes offer a glimpse into their family life, like a recent Instagram story about family cupcake baking. At the end of the day, motherhood is a top priority for the former Gossip Girl star: “My life has become more intimate,” Lively told Vogue in 2023. Ahead, everything the protective parents have shared about their four adorable kids. Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/Getty Images James Reynolds Lively and Reynolds became parents on December 16, 2014, with the birth of their eldest child, James. An unconventional name for a baby girl, the new parents chose it to honor Reynolds’s father. Reynolds went on to jokingly defend the name choice: "I mean, I didn't call her Summer Squash Meadow Lark, or something,” he quipped to ITV’s Good Morning Britain. But perhaps even less conventional was the way Reynolds chose to ring in his daughter’s birth. Lively opened up to Glamour about how James had entered the world set to none other than “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye, courtesy of her jokester father. The couple were ready to be parents, both having come from large families and eager for one of their own. And Reynolds positively embraced fatherhood, speaking candidly in 2016 about his keenness to get his hands dirty. "I have no problem waking up five times in the middle of the night and changing diapers,” he told GQ. Despite the plans for a normal childhood, some special perks come with having celebrity parents. James’s babbling voice will forever be heard on the intro to “Gorgeous,” a song off of family friend Taylor Swift’s album Reputation. In a viral video a fan posted to X in 2018, the A-list couple excitedly jump up and down during the Reputation Stadium Tour as their daughter’s vocals boom through the speakers at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Inez Reynolds The couple welcomed their second daughter, Inez, on September 30, 2016, though kept details about the child’s sex and name mum until two months later, when the couple made their first public appearance  with their kids.  The occasion? Reynolds accepted his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with Lively and their daughters by his side. Lively had spent her second pregnancy as something of an icon of maternity style, and Inez went on to become a little style icon herself. In 2021, Lively shared a video on Instagram stories in which she models an outfit picked by her daughter at 5 in the morning. “When you try to get your 4 year old dressed but they insist on dressing you instead,” the caption reads, overtop an image of Lively wearing a hot pink sweatshirt with rhinestone smiley, a mid-length white skirt embroidered with large pink flowers, and pumps. Inez initially didn’t take too kindly to seeing her father’s gruesome look while filming Deadpool 2. “My 1-year-old daughter would just sob, I mean for hours after seeing me,” Reynolds told PEOPLE, her reaction to the prosthetics needed to portray the heavily scarred Wade Wilson.  But by age 7, Inez had triumphed over her fear of Deadpool, joining her father in a small cameo appearance for 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine playing the foul-mouthed Kidpool. Reynolds joked in an Instagram post that Inez was the “only co-star [he] ever argued with.” Ryan Reynolds with his daughter Inez Reynolds in costume on the set of 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'. @vancityreynolds Betty Reynolds It’s not every day that a baby’s name is revealed via pop song, but that’s Betty Reynolds’s reality . Less than a year after the October 4th birth of Lively and Reynolds’s third child, it was uncovered that Taylor Swift’s song, “Betty,” from her album Folklore, was titled in honor of this newest family addition, and even included little shoutouts for the elder two Reynolds kids, too. While the pair have never confirmed why they chose the name, Betty is a moniker that runs in the family. Lively’s line of non-alcoholic carbonated mixers, Betty Buzz, was named after her grandmother and aunt, while honoring her father, Ernie. In a press release, Lively explained “…when I was working hard to build this company, I wanted any success to be in a name that was meaningful to [Ernie]. Betty was his mom and his sister's name. Also, Ernie would not be the best name for a mixer." Lively’s elder daughters had an adjustment period with their new sister, although Inez was a tougher nut to crack than James. “I have two other daughters, so my oldest is very into the baby but my middle child, not so much,” Lively divulged to Jimmy Fallon, in an interview on The Tonight Show. “In the beginning, the oldest is loving on her and she’s maternal, and then our middle daughter just keeps away from her.” Eventually, Inez warmed up to her new sibling after some more prodding. Lively continued: “...I said to [Inez], ‘You know, you’re gonna get to teach her everything she knows! You get to teach her about cities and the sky and flowers and Santa Claus and Mickey Mouse, anything you want.’ And she goes [to her new sister], ‘Oh, I didn’t love you, but now I do.’” Dia Dipasupil/Getty images Olin Reynolds Nearly three years after the birth of her third child, Lively announced her fourth pregnancy on the red carpet at the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women’s Summit, wearing a sequined mini-dress that showed off her baby bump.: Her birth announcement was characteristically subtle. Five months later, she shared a photo to Instagram, and fans immediately noticed her baby bump was gone.  Taylor Hill/Getty Images The baby’s name and sex were kept under wraps until over a year later. As Reynolds thanked the crowd at the New York premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine in July 2024, he shouted out his family and name-dropped each of his kids: James, Betty, Inez, and a new name, Olin. Later that same month, Reynolds posted a video to Instagram detailing his connection with Wrexham AEC fan John Bell who lost his son, while revealing that he had a son now, too. Lively and Reynolds both share a love of cracking jokes, which was on display in Lively’s choice of cake for her son’s first birthday. On BBC Radio 2’s Zoe Ball and Friends show, Lively explained that, "My birthday cakes always have a little bit of a sense of humor, for my baby I just did a giant set of t--ts.” As Olin has grown, he’s become a fan of the very film that brought his parents together: The Green Lantern. “It’s my son’s favorite movie,” Reynolds told the Time100 Summit in New York City. Even cuter is the fact that the film’s director, Shawn Levy, is Olin’s godfather. And Levy had a voice cameo for his godson in Deadpool & Wolverine, the director’s most recent collaboration with Reynolds. “Little by little, all of the Reynoldses started being a part of the movie, including their youngest,” Levy told Variety.  Source link

Y'all this is a vent of mine that is the reason why I'm way too desperate for a long life dating relationship (no I am not attention seeking or anything like that, I'm making this post so that I can find people that relate me to this story I'm about to tell)

A SHIT TON OF TWS: $H, LANGUAGE, SUICIDE, SEXUAL THOUGHTS, HOMELESSNESS, AND SO MUCH MORE SHIT THAT YOU WILL FIND OUT WHEN READING!!!

When I was in 6th grade, I immediately jumped into a relationship with a cis dude. It was great till about a week later when he admitted that he cheated on me.

I got into another relationship when I was in 7th grade to another cis dude. It was perfect till 3 months later when he decided to move. That made me realize that I was lesbian when I was in 8th grade.

I asked multiple people if we can get to know each other and date soon and they all reject me (about 2 to 4 people at the time)

I had to move back to California during the summer of 2021 before I attended a new school. A few months later after I attended, I got to know this girl and we both liked each other very much. We got together on Oct 7th, 2021. It was the best fucking relationship I ever had. It was great till she decided to break up with me 6 months later. The reason for that is because she wasn't really ready yet and that he parents are homophobic. I cried when she broke up with me. A week later after that, I came out as non binary and then a few months after that, I came out as a trans FTM. And I believe the breakup caused me to sh for the first time on April 1st, 2022

In June of 2024, I had to move to Montana because of financial issues. And the moment that my family decided to let us stay at a relative's home, I knew something was off. It turns out he has no running water, no wifi and no electricity because he bought the house from the side Walmart and decided to buy some land with it. Meaning the house was under construction. It was also in the middle of nowhere technically. And also no running water meaning no toilet. Instead we had to do business in a bucket and throw it outside. It was gross but besides the point. We also had barely any food.

When I was staying at his house, I became severely depressed bc I couldn't really go out and explore the city and make any friends. I have attempted to commit for the second time (first time before I moved there). I was also very isolated. His kids are annoying ass little shits. The oldest one which is 5 would misbehave 24/7 and barley gave me any space when they were around. Also I started to $H for the 3rd or 4th time when I was alone in a car bc it was my safe space. It was also the place where my sexual thoughts really started to happen and I have become really desperate for one. So desperate that I had little scenarios in my head about those types of topics to feel better and keep my mind off of what's going on outside of the car. It was the only thing keeping me happy.

It was going on for 3 months till my uncle and parents insisted that I sleep in the house bc of freezing temps, so I did. It felt really uncomfortable sleeping in the house. The next day his dumbass decided to burn himself and was flown in Colorado for surgery. We had to leave bc the cops told us to and it was basically the very first time I felt free in months. The CPS gave us a hotel room for 1 night and after that, they stopped helping us and we were homeless for almost a week. We had to go to an emergency homeless shelter. I felt extremely unsafe bc of strangers and my parents protected us the best they can.

And almost a week later after suffering through that bs, one of my dad's coworkers rented us a hotel so we can live somewhat normal lives and we were happy for a while. And also got enrolled at school in October.

Until we got kicked out of the hotel so they could clear it out for the winter and we almost went back to the shelter. Until we went to a public library for wifi and I messaged my friends on Discord for hope. Well, it worked and we are currently staying at a friend's house rn

Anyway sorry about the long ass rant about that but anyway back to the relationship story.

During all that, I was still desperate to have a relationship and all that. Every single time that I see a relationship, I envy them every day I think about sexual thoughts about me and imaginary people in my head.

Also during that year, a freshman had a crush on me and ofc I said no bc that would make me a pdf. Also during Valentine's Day- April Fools Day, there was another person that liked me and I liked her back (according to how my ex friend described her). They were 18 which made me very happy and it motivated me to do more hygiene and stuff. Until I realized my ex friend made her up. It was all a lie.

That caused me to be even more desperate in having a relationship, envy more and more, and a shit ton of trust issues. And also sh on April 1st, 2025 (3 year difference of when I first started)

And now I have another crush and if he rejects me, it's gonna make me lose more and more hope of having a relationship and might make me not ever wanna date another person again. (Also I am almost a month clean)

So yeah that is the end of my rant, I apologize if it's long. Bye bye!
