still can't get the idea of pchan coming across the mafia underground and being sold to a brothel, but the mafia has to try and make him stop sucking everyone dry because he's just so hungry and drugs don't effect him and he doesn't find the threat levels of humans that high even w/ their weaponry.

pchan just being the true hoe he is.

H-heya! Could i ask for an shy female dragon shifter reader with Lady D. and Donna? Like she's heavily injured by hunters and had to crash/land into their home because of it? How would they react or would they even help her?

(I Love Dragons but see most of the time only male dragon shifters uwu

I feel like both their initial reactions would be very similar to the other Male Dragon Shifter meeting post, (a.k.a: This post).

Alcina Dimitrescu

At first, all Alcina sees is the giant hole in her castle walls and the giant lizard in her hall and she goes into attack mode.

She aims for your injuries, so you curl into a spiky ball of scales and flame.

Turns out your scales are Alcina proof so unless you uncurl and she can get at the flesh beneath, she can't hurt you.

She may lose a limb to your flames.

She is incensed at your presence and forbids her daughters from going near the hall.

But you are very warm, you're inner fire counteracting the cold winds coming in through the hole in the wall, and the Dimitrescu daughters are attracted to the giant warm cuddly lizard.

You warn them off a few times, but they keep spouting curious questions and attempting to come close that eventually, once your natural regeneration has sealed the surface of your wounds, you allow them to sit between the spines on your tail and examine your claws. (You can easily turn and burn them if they pose a threat.)

Alcina is furious that her daughters disobeyed her and approached you, and yet equally furious that you are entirely different from the mindless beast she'd warned them against.

When she sees your human form for the first time, I see Alcina doing a complete 180, (compared to her reaction in the other post).

Oh, you're a Pretty Maiden?!?!?! Well why didn't you say! Come closer, let me look at you Darling. *bites you! bites you! bites you!*

Yeah, she will pretty much try and get you to let your guard down and then go for the CHOMP.

You fight her off of course, half-shifting is easy for you.

Now you can be a fire-breathing menace AND roam the halls.

You have gone hunting a few times, and you brought your kill back to the castle. Dripping blood on the carpet and sitting in her great hall tearing into carcasses like an animal. (Her children love that you let them feast on the leftovers after they've sat for a few hours.)

Alcina is sulking. She can't kill you, she can't eat you, she can't just sit back and let you stay without at least making a show of removing you without losing the respect and support of Mother Miranda.

But then said Mother Miranda shows up and is promptly sent off with burned wings.

Okay, now she's a little worried. She is not certain she could beat you even in her full mutant form and her daughters adore you for SOME REASON.

After several weeks, she looses it, storms into the hall and unleashes a verbal lashing her ancestors would be proud of. The effect is only slightly reduced by the fact that she bursts into frustrated tears and flees the room to go dramatically wallow in her sorrow.

Okay, now you feel kind-off guilty. You did crash into this woman's home, burn her boss, monopolise her daughter's attention, and ruin the carpets. Maybe you should do something to make up for all that.

You repair the walls the best you can, replaster over scratches in the walls, hunt down the castles cleaning supplies and soak the carpets in a potion of bleach and foaming soapy water before hanging them from the battlements to dry.

Your final act of apology comes in the form of draining the blood from your kills and leaving them in sealed jugs by her bedroom door, handwritten notes tied to the handles.

You are a new exciting variable and her daughters try to help by going to their mother and telling her about what you're doing.

Every day, you wait outside her doors for hours waiting for her to emerge.

When she finally does, it is to your offer of a truce. You are being hunted and will not leave this very conveniently guarded hiding spot, however, you can be useful and help her with her food supply.

She is doubtful when presented with the blood of animals, but when you acquire human blood through negotiating trades with the villagers she slowly starts to change her tune.

You're a smart pretty lady and you have presented her with a charming little solution to the problem of the future dwindling supply of villagers to feed from.

Alright, Alcina has come to the decision to be the merciful, graceful mistress of the castle who allows a poor hunted lady to stay with her. (Keep telling yourself that Alcina).

After a few months, it starts to feel a little more comfortable.

After a few more, it starts to feel normal.

She caught herself running her hand down your scales once, marvelling at how the light reflected, (she will forever deny that she did that).

You start to lay down your claim and soon have built up a new hoard of trinkets, and maids, and mutants. The glittering gem crowning your hoard, is Alcina herself, not that she knows yet.

Once you've established yourself and Alcina doesn't outwardly reject your claim, you become quite the homemaker.

You are fierce and strong and loving.

You provide the warmest cuddles known to man, or mutant.

You cook for your new family, catering for their 'special' diet is a little easier with your own predilection to a carnivore diet.

Alcina will brag to the other Lords about "her darling", "the dimitrescu dragon", "the second dimitrescu lady," but only out of earshot of Mother Miranda.

Donna Beneviento

Pretty much the same reaction as the other post...except she's a bit braver about approaching you due to seeing your obvious injuries.

She has several dolls in attack mode ready to go, (not that they would work against your flame.

You know you could easily incinerate this woman but you attempt polite conversation through gritted fangs. You ask about her hobbies, favourite foods, favourite colours, etc..., and offer your own answers in return.

The talk calms her and she seems less frightened and more welcoming.

It takes a few days for her to really trust you.

Oddly enough you get the feeling she liked you a little more after Mother Miranda visited and berated her for not eliminating the threat (you) before being quickly chased of by a living flamethrower (also you).

When you shift to your human form to make it easier, she's surprised and immediately more comfortable with you.

Donna knows a lot about medicinal plants but zero about dragon biology. You know all about dragon biology and zero about medicinal plants. Together you make one whole doctor...and figure out how to make medicine for your wounds. It's patchy and a little funny-smelling but it does the job (at least you both think it does). To be honest, your natural regenerative capabilities take care of most of the damage.

Angie tries to play doctor too but is, admittedly, more of a hindrance than a help.

Your injuries are haphazardly patched and a good long sit by a lit fireplace does the rest.

You know your hunters are still out there, but this remote village is hidden and safe for now.

You decide to stay just until you need to move on.

Okay, Donna was not prepared for guests but now she has one.

She makes you some basic new clothes to cover you up and you collect firewood whenever she needs more.

After a while, she feels inspired by the way your scales gleam in the firelight and excited at the prospect of having a new friend to play dress up with, Donna offers to make you some dresses. Dresses with holes and pins to accomodate your wings and tail, delicate lace fingerless gloves allowing your claws to shine through.

You accept the gifts only because she seems so eager and it would be rude to deny your host, (not because she's cute).

You do what you can for her in return. As it turns out you can cook more substantial food than tea party sandwiches; which Donna definitely appreciates.

The dolls unnerve you, but you learn to live with them.

You install more lights in the manor and fix leaks in the roof.

There are long talks by the fireplace. She reads to you sometimes.

After a few months, you and Donna starts to build a comfortable rhythm.

After a few more, it starts to feel homely.

You attend a tea party she holds for the other Lords. When someone (Heisenberg) makes a comment that has Donna cringing, you growl, a loud deep vibration that (along with the glow in your eyes and fire shining through the skin of your chest) instills fear in all attending. Donna now has scary dog (dragon) priviledge.

You tell yourself your protectiveness is because she's your benefactor (totally not because you have a crush on the pretty, shy dollmaker with a voice like honey and temperament to match).

Okay, who are you kidding, you want to claim a new hoard here...you want to stay with her.

After a few accepted offerings of food made from your hunted game, a few accepted cuddles, and the painstaking labour of building and decorating a new conservatory with an unfolding roof cover for stargazing, (which Donna immediately hugs you in thanks and immediately outfits with a planter full of herbs), you consider your claim accepted.

You are fierce and strong and loving.

You provide the warmest cuddles known to man, or mutant, (or doll).

Once she feels comfortable enough and like she has permission, Donna is so sweet with you.

You compliment and build her up, and soon her confidence soars.

Donna goes from one of the weakest Lords to the strongest.

You burn the creepy baby monster in the basement, it's the one thing you couldn't live with.

House Hunting with Sebastian

Working on yet another installment in my Auror!Sebastian series, and this time the happy couple is house hunting (with some nsfw bits included)! Doing some editing currently, but it's almost ready.

A sneaky peek below:

“Ominis found the listing,” Sebastian continues, beckoning you forward. “The Ministry has done quite a bit to rehabilitate the area.” Sebastian guides you up the hill, unlatching a well worn gate.  The stone cottage is teeming with ivy, crawling up the walls. The storybook tiles on the roof made the house look like it's straight out of a muggle fairytale. 

You take a deep breath as you wave your wand, unlocking the door.  The wooden floors creak beneath your feet, but otherwise, the place is in good condition.  The walls have been replastered, the fireplace cleaned and sparkling. The only furniture is an old looking settee and a bear skin rug (a tad gauche for your taste). You make your way through the living room to the kitchen.  Its positively bathed in light, a large bay window over the sink looks over an enormous yard.  You practically run up to the sink edge, admiring the view.

“So much light,” you gasp. “Seb, it’s perfect.”

“You are,” Sebastian suddenly appears behind you, pressing himself against your back.  You can feel his breath tickling your ear as he wraps his arms around your body. “The perfect view to watch our children play in the yard, don’t you think?” he murmurs into your ear.

I can't stop thinking about the leprous house in Leviticus 14:33-57.

Leviticus is most popularly known for its rules on behavior, such as prohibitions against eating certain foods or sexual behaviors, but it also prescribed certain procedures and behaviors to solve problems. One such problem is the leprous house.

A leprous house will have visible spots on the walls.

The house must be cleared of all objects and a priest will examine the house.

If the spots appear to go deeper than the wall, the house will be quarantined for seven days.

Then, if the spots spread, all the plaster inside of the house will be scraped away, and any stained stones replaced, discarded in an unclean place outside the city. The stones will be replaced, the house replastered. If the spots reappear, the whole house must be torn down, declared unclean.

Deeper than the wall.

Deeper than the wall.

This is probably just a description of mold, but there is something so impossibly horrible about that phrase. That a house cannot only become sick with a human disease, but that it somehow goes deeper than reality should allow. Deeper than the wall, deeper than the physical dimensions of the home can allow, spread into or from somewhere unknown.

The house is sick.

The house is unclean.

It's deeper than the wall.

Listing out the things I managed to do today so I remember I’m not useless:

300 words on one of my novels, and sure I was an hour or so late getting started but so what

Called the dentist and successfully figured out an insurance mystery

Called insurance with a different question, which I got satisfactorily answered

Spent over an hour putting things in boxes and carrying them into the basement because we’ve been using Spouse’s office as storage since they’re not working in there until we replaster the walls, but I’m going to convalesce in there for a bit next month so we need the space again

Did two loads of laundry. Folded one of them. (that’s not even true. I folded last week’s load of laundry. But one of today’s was the sheets, so only one load remains unfolded)

The cat peed on the couch and I was very upset but didn’t even cry. Tried to assist Spouse instead of hiding and ended up later being the one to put the cushion in the trash (there was no saving the foam cushion. The velveteen cover has been washed and should survive)

I’m still nervous for the cat actually because she’s been skittish since then but she gets weird with change and I think her new litter box freaked her out. We showed it to her and hopefully next time she’ll use it. I’m choosing to believe she’s not sick or hurt and just panicked

Went to the drug store for the remaining post surgery things I needed (meds are EXPENSIVE guys, even super basic ones)

Went to the thrift store for a neat retro little cooler to take food to the Airbnb while we stay in the city for a few days because surgery (no it’s not that huge a thing but I didn’t want to take the ferry the very next day while I was groggy and nauseous ok)

Drove a town over to pick up a dentist receipt because they can’t email those

Wrote fanfic for like an hour and a half at the library

Colored in Narvin’s hair and Brax’s sleeves on my current Gallifrey wip (ok I was supposed to be taking a shower at this point but I still needed to chill)

Yes it is 10 now, which is bedtime, but I’m still gonna go take a shower! And then read! And then sleep

Things I did not do that I hoped to:

Clean the kitchen but this was inevitably put off when I had to go out

Eat a proper dinner (I think I had…canned fruit, 2 fresh oranges, a few cookies, and ice cream. Oops. I was out until 6:30 and Spouse already ate and I am SO bad about cooking when it’s just for me)

Does the li family have any phobias?

And on that topic how does nezha handle MKs arachnophobia? I'm sure it's gotten somewhat better cause of the spider gang, in that he doesn't freak out at the sight of every spider, maybe just the really big and venomous ones.

But I can also see it having also worsened in that rather 50/50 flight or freeze it's now 25/75 freeze or fight. Many a hole in the wall has had to be fixed.

Tw talk about phobias!

Hmmm phobias…

I personally think Jing would have aerophobia. (Technically fear of flying, but I couldn’t find the one that was just the plane itself) He loves Nezha and his little machines, but like he’ll is he gotta get on that death machine. He’d rather drive or go on a boat. Al least with them you gotta chance! (No i’m not projecting)

Azure has Iatrophobia (fear of doctors) to nobody’s suprised. But he ALSO has a phobia of thunder, (Astraphobia) which isn’t too surprising since, yk, cat.

Jinzha has musophobia (fear of mice)! They chewed his clothes one time when he was like, 5. He was never the same.

Muzha would have Dentophobia! (Fear of the dentist) He takes VERY good care of his teeth, and struggles with going to the dentist VERY badly. He only goes if absolutely necessary. (Removing his wisdom teeth was a nightmare)

Nezha, of course, has Iatrophobia (fear of doctors). It’s ironic after finding out Jing was a nurse. He also has trypanophobia (fear of needles). The two thing don’t make a great combo.

Mocha has no phobias. She feels fear like everyone else, but she just… kinda doesn’t have one that bad? She’s an outlier.

Nezha actually takes MK’s arachnophobia very well. He’s not suprised, since it’s so common among mortals and even some celestials. And while Mk has gotten better about Spider Demons, actual spiders are still a big ol’ NOPE for Mk. Nezha found it cute at first… until around the third time he’s had to help replaster and repaint walls from the many spider deaths. He eventually starts setting little traps and stuff, and that seems to keep them at bay. Mk basically worships Nezha for a few days afterward.

(All the Li’s have Atychiphobia (Fear of Failure))

[bullet-prooflove]

it's me again! hope you don't mind, I'm just obsessed with your writing 💕

Can we get the prompt "lean back a little and let me watch" with Nero Padilla?

It's just like one of your Cam Shows, Nero thinks, except it's not, not really. Because you're sitting on the edge of his bed clad in black lingerie that accentuates every single one of your assets. Your wrists are bound behind you with the black leather cuffs your client has supplied just for the making of this video, along with the bright red ball gag that separates your lips.

Your thighs are astride the Sybian, the lace of the fabric rubbing across the device as it slowly fucks into you.

"Lean back a little." Nero directs you as he views the scene through the camera. "Let me watch what it's doing to you."

You comply with his demands and Nero finds his trousers growing a little tighter. This is the third video he'd helped you film and each and every one has lead to him getting a cold shower afterwards.

He looks at the time on the camera.

Ten seconds left.

Time for the big finish.

He holds up his hands for you to see and begins counting down.

You make a scene of getting off, moaning and rolling your hips in time with that machine.

The shit you do... it's art form he thinks, no wonder your clients keep coming back for more. When it's over, he flicks off the camera before stepping up in front of you, his fingers gently unbuckling the ball gag.

His thumb skates over the red indentations of your cheek as he withdraws it from your mouth and tosses it away.

"You put it on a little too tight this time Mami." He murmurs tilting your head up to examine the damage. "Doesn't look like it bruised though."

He undoes the cuffs next before turning his back as you remove yourself from the Sybian. He picks up your robe from the chair before holding it out for you.

"Sorry about your room," Nero says as he listens to the rustle of silk across your skin. "It's gonna take a couple of days for us to get it fixed, it needs to dry out before we can replaster it."

"Not a problem. It's not like you can help a burst pipe." You tell him cinching the belt at the waist before sitting down on the edge of the bed. "Your room worked fine. You can turn around now I'm decent."

Nero complies before shaking his head and smiling because you wrapped up in that midnight blue robe of yours...

It's anything but decent.

There are shelves of books in every room in this house and they've never been organised in the 24 years I've lived here - except that my work books are all in one place and I have a tbr shelf. Other than that, it's an unholy mess and I find things based on vibes? Divination? I've occasionally thought I should do something about it, but I don't want my books in alphabetical order because that feels too formal - like a work library. As I couldn't settle on how else I wanted to organise them, they stayed a mess. Anyway, we recently replastered and decorated the spare bedroom, and today I began to put books back in there - and made the somewhat daft (to me) decision to choose books based on spine colour for that room. I love the terracotta colour of the walls and I just couldn't bear putting books in there that would clash! So, behold, a couple of shelves of books with warm coloured spines:

There will also be a shelf of white books above the white wardrobe:

And this is how the room looks so far. At some point, a chest of drawers will go under the shelves on the left, which is why they're so high up the walls. Also, we need to sort through all the artwork we took off the walls to see what we want to put back up - it's looking a bit bare:

Will this new arrangement improve my ability to find specific books? Absolutely not. Do I smile every time I walk into the room and see how harmonious it looks? Yes :-)

[glittercatsandtaylorswift]

when I was younger, when Taylors self titled and fearless album came out, I idolized her, I was the biggest fan girl you could picture, my bedroom was covered in posters, we actually had to replaster the wall when I took them down lol. I used to sit in my family's computer room and spin around in the office chair belting "id lie" so loud my mom could hear me outside. Now as an almost 26 year old, these things are still true and I still belt her songs so loud but now there's a deep respect, the respect of being a woman in this ever changing industry, the respect of being just a girl trying to find a place in this world. the way I think about Taylor these days is more of a big sister vibe because of everything Taylors taught me about life. thanks tay.

June 2023: Thousands of people gather each year to replaster the walls of the city of Djenné’s Great Mosque. The first mosque on the site was built around the 13th century, but the current structure dates from 1907.
