#self-indulgence levels are at maximum

my campaign hiatus has gone on for too long so to cope ive combined my interests at their maximum potency and had some dnd-strawhats thoughts
thoughts in depth under read more... :)!
this is SO self indulgent. their designs literally did not change. but i am a firm believer that dnd doesnt have to be european high fantasy. and also one piece literally IS fantasy. no changes are necessary to fit into dnd. ive already imagined plenty of campaign/oneshot ideas inspired by one piece. so this was basically just an exercise of trying to replicate their canon abilities in dnd 5e as much as possible without totally homebrewing everything. well. aside from luffy. you just cant take away or change his stretching.
LUFFY: (human monk. drunken master subclass. outlander)
the only plain human of the crew to balance out with the fact that he still has rubber powers. obviously a monk. but drunken master subclass specifically because i think the flavor(not the fact that its about being a drunkard) and abilities both fit him really well. this line in the subclass' flavortext especially fits him: "A drunken master often enjoys playing the fool to bring gladness to the despondent or to demonstrate humility to the arrogant, but when battle is joined, the drunken master can be a maddening, masterful foe."
ZORO: (tiefling fighter. samurai subclass. bounty hunter)
a fighter with the samurai subclass is so very incredibly obvious... but i actually had a lot of fun geeking out while comparing the abilities to what he can do in canon; Fighting Spirit, Rapid Strike, and Strength Before Death especially! tiefling is also pretty on the nose for his demon pirate hunter shtick and asura form, but i thought he'd be really human-passing for a tiefling and theorized about his tail getting cut off at some point or another before joining the strawhats. initially wasnt gonna give him a feat, but i gave sanji a feat so i thought itd be unfair to not give him one as well, so sentinel fits the bill pretty well i think!
NAMI: (tabaxi rogue. arcane trickster subclass. criminal)
cat burglar -> full grown literal humanoid cat. this one is INCREDIBLY self indulgent... i love... cats... theres nothing deeper to this and no other reasoning. i took cat burglar and ran with it. can you tell that i love izutsumi dungeon meshi? rogue for the aforementioned burglar-ing as well, and the arcane trickster subclass for when she picks up climatact! the mage hand will be very useful for her pickpocketing. in the future as she levels up with timeskip, i can totally see her multiclassing into wizard as well! weather wizard!
USOPP: (lightfoot halfling artificer. artillerist subclass. urchin)
I HAD SO MUCH FUN THINKING ABOUT HIS CHARACTER SHEET. halfling's Naturally Stealthy ability lets him hide behind his crewmates since theyre (almost) all bigger than him, so its perfect for hiding behind zoro or sanji all the time. Lucky is also perfect for him, and I think Brave fits pretty well too when he puts on the sogeking mask. artillerist artificer is also very fun! tinkering and making magic items for his crew, and i think Eldritch Canon or Arcane Firearm could both be easily reflavored as kabuto or any of his inventions. for emphasizing his sniper-ness, the spell sniper feat was also necessary. i think hes my favorite of all the concepts. big ears and long nose combo is so cute to me.
SANJI: (half-elf monk. drunken master subclass. guild artisan (cook!))
race was mostly based on vibes i wont lie. squints. and that vinsmoke balogna or whatever too ig. but mostly vibes. along with the idea that i think a dwarf zeff raising him would be really funny and cute. monk is also obvious, and same subclass as luffy for mostly the same reasons. though the flavor fits him much less, i think the abilities still fit him perfectly, and this blurb specifically; "Your martial arts technique mixes combat training with the precision of a dancer." i really wanted to give him a different subclass from luffy, but i dislike all the other monk subclasses a lot and i found none of them fit him as well anyways, so to try and give them SOME differences, i gave him the crusher feat.
CHOPPER: (awakened deer(shifter statblock) cleric. life subclass. hermit)
this ones definitely a mouthful im sorry. awakened deer for obvious reasons, but due to magic instead of devil fruit stuff. when i was struggling with his race, i looked a lot at shifter because of his forms, but it occurred to me that itd be super cool if he could shift between all of the different shifter options instead of being stuck with just one to replicate his rumble balls. something like heavy point/guard point=beasthide, horn point/arm point(?maybe?)=longtooth, walk point/jumping point=swiftstride, and brain point=wildhunt. hed definitely need some kind of nerf though to balance out that homebrew... and cleric for class. duh.
ROBIN: (high elf wizard. order of scribes subclass. criminal)
robin is definitely the one i struggled the most with just because of her class. elf came pretty easily- shes very elegant and i think shed look cute with super long ears- and i landed on high elf instead of wood elf for the int-based abilities. i was really on the fence between sorcerer and wizard for her because i knew shed be a full spellcaster, but i didnt feel that any of the subclasses really fit her. i ended up going with wizard for order of the scribes since it focuses on texts and knowing everything. but also because robin with a flying talking sentient book would be crazy cool. it could also be similar to how she spawns mouths and eyes places to talk to or watch people. my "fuck it, why not. this would be rad. its my house" mindset kicked in with her i will admit. also the One with the Word ability made me cackle out loud when i read it. thats the funniest ability ever. anyways, i cant really think of a way to replicate her powers, but maybe we could just reflavor a bunch of spells to be her limbs or clutch; hold person, maximillian's earthen grasp, or evard's black tentacles. thatd probably work okay, and theres a handful of spells to replicate her ability to spawn eyes or mouths. unrelated, but i imagine nico olvia to be a drow. why? her hair is white. i am a simple man!
#had a full on fixation explosion with this one Dont even look at me im posting this at 4am for a reason.#I HAD FUN THATS ALL THAT MATTERS. I MISS DND SO BAD. CAMPAIGN HIATUS OVER SOON. I MUST LIVE#not really like an au or redesign or whatever but i wanted to draw a lineup anyways to show just. very miniscule differences#i guess. mostly an excuse just to draw a lineup of the strawhats. i fucknig guess#will probably do a part 2 cause i have more thoughts; franky+brook+ace+vivi are on the menu boys#its bothering me so much that usopp and nami are both orange in the read more. but there is no yellow text-fill on tumblr. sad#also just fist fought this post in the drafts for an hour bc i dont understand the character limit#so if i fucked this up im moving to the mountains#wtf... art#one piece fanart#dnd#dnd 5e#mugiwara crew#straw hat pirates#monkey d luffy#luffy#roronoa zoro#zoro#cat burglar nami#nami#usopp#black leg sanji#sanji#tony tony chopper#nico robin#dndpiece

Crush series : what is their current love status ?
This is for those of you that are puzzled right now about their crush and don’t know much about them yet. We are asking spirit to help us clarify what their situation is so that you can act accordingly. To pick your group, you can choose one of these emojis.
✍🏼 🧛🏻♀️ 🎓
Group 1 ✍🏼
Cards : Emperor, 4 of pentacles, Queen of cups, 5 of swords, Queen of pentacles, 8 of cups, 8 of wands as the overall energy
This person is single. They are focused on their own accomplishments and well being, mainly when it comes to their career. They are very busy and taking part in many projects. Their heart space is closed. They are friendly with a lot of people but they don’t connect with them on a deeper level. They may flirt here and there but that never goes too far because they don’t want to be involved in drama. This person draws a lot of attention and they are wary of connections because of past experiences. Also, dating could impact their societal status and their personal life drastically if it went wrong so they try to avoid dating as much as possible. This person could have been used for their wealth and power in the past or dealt with people that were not genuine. They could struggle with trusting people and/or being vulnerable. However, they are starting to feel lonely and a part of them wants to find somewhere they belong and a person that can match their vibe and support them during hard times. A part of them may doubt that they are ever going to find such a person. They tend to feel pessimistic when it comes to love and romance. I asked for a card to clarify the 5 of swords and got the knight of cups. This person feels confused when people express feelings towards them. They may have recently come across someone that showed them affection and they felt conflicted about it. If that person is you, the expression of your emotions sets them off balance. This is something they did not expect and that they are not used to.
Confirmation signs : Aries, Taurus, Scorpio, Sagittarius, numbers 4, 5 and 8
Group 2 🧛🏻♀️
Cards : The Empress, The World, The Fool, 3 of pentacles reversed, Hierophant, Justice, overall energy is the White Numen
Your crush is looking for committed and deep love. They are in a phase of their life where they are finally where they wanted to be, they are embodying the version of themselves they always dreamed of. They are finally loving themselves and feeling empowered. They’ve come to terms with their self confidence issues and they are now taking control over their life. Their energy feels very feminine and very confident. Very sensual also. This person wants to create, to gather with other people, not just a romantic partner but all kinds of people to express their true potential. But they are also looking for their ride or die. Their partner in crime. The person that will love and support them no matter what, that will match their crazy and follow them anywhere they may go. This person is starting anew and moving forward with a positive mind and receptive energy. They may enjoy traveling alone or indulging in creative endeavors. They also spend a lot of time taking care of their body, dressing themselves up, working on their body image. Though the Hierophant represents commitment I think that this person is mainly committed to themselves and their own well being. They’ve been through a lot and the wheel has just recently turned in their favor. Justice is being served by blessing this person with everything they ever wanted. I feel like this person is entrusting the divine with their love life and hoping for the best. They are just existing and shining at the maximum of their capacity, hoping that their light will reach someone worth their time and love.
Confirmation signs : Taurus, Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, Pisces, numbers 3, 5 and 21
Group 3 🎓
Cards : Black Numen, Tower reversed, Moon, Ace of pentacles rx, knight of pentacles reversed, 4 of wands, overall energy 2 of pentacles
This person is either single or in a situation ship. They have gone through a major transformation in their life and/or a rough period of time where they were isolated, possibly struggling with depression or anxiety. They felt like things were not going in their favor and faced a lot of fears. This person is now dreaming of a time of peace where their life isn’t as chaotic and messy. Especially when it comes to romance. They are hoping for a serious relationship that doesn’t seem to want to manifest in their life. They feel like things are moving too slow in that area of their life. One one hand they want that connection so bad but on the other hand they are scared to let anyone in right now considering how their life is all over the place. This person feels conflicted. They may try to interact with people and then retreat back to their bubble because they don’t trust themselves and/or others. A part of them doubts that they’ll ever find someone to be with. They may think they’re not worthy of love or that they don’t have enough time and room for someone to be in their life. However they feel lonely and out of luck and a part of them may believe that having someone in their life would help them get back on track and be more successful. This person may daydream a lot about being in a relationship. They may have a lot of crushes but never act upon them. They may be very shy, introverted, scared of being left out or rejected. They possibly tried to be in a relationship in the past which ended terribly. Their plans to be with this person were not fruitful. Maybe because their family did not accept their partner or because of their work taking too much of their time.
Confirmation signs : Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo, numbers 18, 16, 1, 2 and 4.

Love On My Fingers, Lust On My Tongue.
18+ ONLY. MINORS DNI
A/N: This story is totally self-indulgent and was inspired by one specific line from the fic Wild Child, written by the lovely and immensely talented @writingcold. If you haven't already, go check it out, you won't regret it, believe me😉
I really hope you like this one. It's been ages since I last indulged in writing this kind of fics.
Special thanks to @edgingthedarkness for suggesting this delicious gif!
Join my taglist here.
Word count: 6K
Pairing: Jake x female!reader
Warnings: NSFW 18+ONLY, graphic sexual content, handjobs, oral (m!receiving), use of toys, anal play, pegging.
Summary: Coming home late from work, you decide to skip dinner to better savour dessert.
________________________________
Winter really didn't seem to let the warm rays of spring sunshine free to dissolve its icy tentacles.
Snow kept falling for the entire day without a pause but your boss was adamant in his decision of not letting you go home early. That bastard.
You were angry, freezing and starving and you couldn't wait to finally go home, shower, inhale dinner, bury yourself under at least three blankets and cocoon in Jake’s warm embrace.
He was lucky. He was home from tour and still asleep when you had left for work. You had been thinking about him the whole day. You envied and longed for him at the same time.
When it was finally 5pm, you clocked out and reached your car as quickly as possible, while trying not to break your neck slipping on the copious snow on the pavement.
After pushing the snow off the windshield, your gloves were soaked and your boots were full of icy snow slowly melting in your socks.
You felt anger increase in your chest as a passing car hit a puddle and soaked your jeans. You were about to flip them the bird and send them to hell but karma took the matter into its own hands before you could, sending the way-to-fast proceeding car to spin out in the middle of the road. Thank God there was no-one else there or it would have caused a big accident.
You were about to go check if they were alright when they drove off.
You climbed in your car and turned the heat at maximum level.
When finally you started to feel your own hands again, you took the road and started driving home.
But unfortunately not for long.
Traffic was always bad in your town but when snow was involved it was a proper nightmare.
You were proceeding so slowly that it was a miracle if you could be home in two hours time.
You phoned Jake and told him you were basically trapped on the road home.
He reassured you that he would cook for you and run you a hot bath for when you would be home.
You thanked him profusely. Mentally you were already home with him.
~
After an hour or so, the traffic jam went down unexpectedly and you found yourself pulling up your driveway much sooner than you had originally anticipated.
You wanted to surprise Jake, so you didn't call him to tell him you were early.
When you opened the door of your house, warmth and the fragrant smell of pizza engulfed you and your mouth watered instantly.
Jake was surprised to see you.
He was sprawled on the sofa wearing only a soft robe around his body. When he saw you were there, he approached you, placing a lingering kiss on your freezing lips.
He looked freshly showered and so soft you wanted to climb inside his body. He smelled wonderfully too.
As soon as your eyes landed on him, you were no longer hungry.
Well, at least not for actual food.
You couldn't wait to be tangled with him under many blankets.
When he asked about your day you didn't answer. You just crashed your lips with his and reveled in the familiar and comforting taste of him.
You started backing him slowly back into the living room and, when he reached the couch, you made him sit down.
You admired the way his damp lips glittered in the soft light coming from the lamp in the corner of the room and the way his big brown sleepy eyes watched you ever so submissively from below.
When you slowly dropped down to your knees between his slightly parted legs, you saw his eyes roll back into his skull as a low growl escaped his throat.
You started caressing his thighs through the fabric covering him and you saw him shiver lightly when you reached for the knot holding the robe closed.
You made quick work of it, uncovering his chest and starting to place little kisses on the expanse of soft smooth skin. Your icy hands travelled lower and he hissed sharply when you touched the warm bare skin of his hips, the contrasting temperatures making goosebumps raise on his body.
You uncovered him completely then, moving your kisses lower onto that soft tummy that you loved so much while your hands rounded around his perfect ass.
He hissed again then and tensed, but relaxed soon after, when your hands started warming, thanks to the heat of his body.
Your kisses moved lower and lower and you made him gasp when you stuck your tongue out and circled his navel, before dipping it inside.
Then, you placed a quick kiss on his hip bone and you bit down harshly, sucking the skin inside your mouth and making him groan again.
You had been purposely neglecting his growing erection, but when his hips rutted up almost imperceptibly, you took pity in him.
Now you were face to face with it. He was absolutely perfect and you knew you would never get tired of him.
You gently took him into your hand and he stiffened even more. You both sighed, contentedly. You knew that the feeling of his weight growing in your hand and on your tongue would cure your upset. It always did.
“God, please, baby yes” he muttered, sounding already on the verge.
You started stroking him gently and seductively.
“Did you take care of yourself today, baby?” You asked him as your lips started kissing, nibbling and leaving marks on the inside of his thighs.
Surprisingly he shook his head.
“I didn't. I was waiting for you. Actually I kind of edged myself all day” he confessed, already out of breath.
“You know I love when you take care of this beautiful cock of yours when I'm not here to do so, but fuck it if I don't love the idea of you edging yourself because you wanted to wait for me.” You whispered on his damp skin, making him shiver again as your grip tightened slightly around his erection.
“I know, but I missed your touch so much that nothing compares” He confessed, moaning lowly as your tongue dragged up and down the underside of him from base to tip to base again, in one slow broad lick.
Your hands stroked his hips again and you thought you felt something in one of his pockets.
You were about to reach inside to discover what it was but he begged for your mouth , blushing a little.
“I need your mouth, angel” he whimpered, sounding desperate.
You nuzzled your nose against the warm skin of his balls, making him close his eyes and whimper.
Unexpectedly, you started stroking him with purpose, making him grit his teeth and pant at your sudden change of pace.
You even added the little twist to the tip that he loved so much, gaining a pained groan from him.
You placed his wet tip between your lips and gave him a light suck before plunging him to the back of your throat without warning while kneading his balls gently between your fingers.
That action made him almost lose it completely but he recovered, biting his bottom lip with force and clawing at the couch.
His back arched as your throat constricted around his length and his movement caused something to finally slip out of his pocket.
Lube.
You slowed down your rhythm but kept your mouth on him, arching an eyebrow and silently asking him for an explanation.
And he couldn't stop himself from confessing.
“Since you were late, I wanted to try something. I was ready to turn on the TV on some suggestive video and edge myself until you came home.” He whispered, averting his eyes from yours, embarrassed.
You gently removed your mouth from him and sat back at his confession.
An idea slowly slithered inside your mind.
“Go on then, baby. Show me what you had in mind” you winked at him, tossing him the lube and making him curse.
“Really?” He asked, a little annoyed about your change of heart.
“Hm-hm” you nodded and sat back to enjoy the show.
You watched him closely as he placed a generous amount of lube onto his hands and warmed it a little.
Then he wrapped a hand around himself and started stroking his cock slowly, groaning and whimpering every now and then.
Just when you saw his body tense and you knew he was almost ready to let go, you spoke, ordering him to stop and remove his hand from himself completely.
“Stop, Jakey” you said. Your authoritative tone made him almost jump.
His eyes shot open in shock, as if in reality he forgot you were there and didn't enjoy your little teasing game.
But you knew better. He was the one who taught you that edging, and consequently being edged, was one of his favorite things. Ever.
You had learned that at your expense way too many times.
“Baby, pleaseee. I need it so bad.” He begged you, pouting adorably and hitching to wrap his hand around himself once more to finish what you had started.
He looked at you with a pained expression and with his rosy lips wet and parted as he panted, but obeyed nonetheless.
“First, you have to tell me what's inside your other pocket.” You went on, sounding incredibly serious.
His eyes widened in utter panic and he blushed the deepest shade of red you had ever seen.
Then, he cursed himself out loud for even thinking he could outsmart you and get away with it.
He knew he was in trouble. And the more he waited to finally show you the content of his pocket, the more you were going to punish him for even thinking he could get away with it.
Even though he knew that, he couldn't even bring himself to say it out loud but after a few agitated minutes in which his heart threatened to jump out of his chest, he finally relented.
You followed the slow path of his hand from the couch to inside his pocket with bated breath.
You saw him grab something in there.
Then his eyes fluttered closed, he took a deep breath, muttered a low “oh my god” and then removed his hand from there, finally showing you what he had been hiding from you.
You gasped.
You really didn't expect that.
His cheeks were ablaze. He was covering his eyes with his bent arm as he placed the object on the sofa for you to see and, immediately, removed his hand from it as if he had been burned.
You didn't know what to say.
You recognised it.
It was the vibrating dildo he had once discovered inside your nightstand drawer at the early stages of your relationship.
You had been so embarrassed that night but he, being the gentleman that he was, had brushed it off like it wasn't a big deal. He had even told you he was happy you took care of yourself properly.
You had almost forgotten about it until one night.
You were grasping the sheets for dear life as Jake was railing you from behind.
Sometimes he was the most careful and gentle lover, but other times he treated you like a filthy whore.
That night was one of those times.
And you were loving every second of it.
But suddenly you had felt him move and you had jolted forward in utter shock when you felt something wet and slightly vibrating circle your back entrance.
“Shh, angel.” He reassured you as he kept thrusting into you, “it's just your pretty little toy. It was a bit jealous. It wanted to say hi to your pretty ass as I take care of your sweet pink pussy.” You moaned at his words and started pushing your hips back to meet his thrusts.
“Are you ok with this?” He whispered into your ear from behind, dragging the vibrating toy up and then down your spine, making you shiver, while keeping his thrusts steady but gentle.
You quickly nodded, you needed it so bad.
It wasn't the first time you two indulged in such depraved activities.
To be fair, one night you'd had one too many drinks and you had confessed to him you wanted to try double penetration but since then he had never acted upon it.
He must have thought you weren't paying enough attention to his question because he stopped abruptly and bent his entire body over yours.
The contact with his hot skin made you shiver and moan.
His lips quickly found your ear and his voice, sweet and raspy, made goosebumps raise on your skin.
“Are you really ok with me doing this?” He said gently while pushing strands of your hair out of your eyes to better see your face.
The more you thought about it, the more you couldn't wait for him to do that.
You shivered in anticipation and kissed him passionately.
“Please, Jake, yes” You said, involuntarily clenching around him and making him groan.
You felt the distinct sound of him getting the toy ready for you with copious amounts of lube and then you tried your best to relax.
The feeling of the lightly-vibrating toy sliding inside of your back entrance while Jake kept his hard, flushed cock inside your pussy was something you had never experienced.
You felt so deliciously full you couldn't think straight.
When he started gently moving his hips while keeping the toy still inside of you, you couldn't stop your mouth from hanging open, making you drool all over the sheets.
The sounds that started leaving your mouth were delirious and unbridled when he started pulling the toy slightly out and then back again, picking up the pace.
But you reached the point of no return when he coordinated his thrusts with the toy and increased the speed of the vibrations.
“God, fuck, I can feel it vibrating through your walls, angel. It feels so fucking good.” he groaned on the verge of exploding.
Your brain shut down completely when he increased it at maximum level and you came, making an absolute mess all over the sheets and dragging him with you in a matter of seconds.
Those were the thoughts that crossed your mind when you saw that toy, but you were brought right back to the task at hand when a pained whisper reached your ears.
“Please, just say something” he whispered, still refusing to look you in the eyes.
Your hands immediately found his hips, giving his soft flushed skin a gentle squeeze to try and ease the tension in his body.
The embarrassment had caused him to lose his excitement completely.
As your hands massaged his hips, thighs and back, you felt him relax again.
You skimmed your lips on his soft tummy and started to nibble at the skin of his hipbone, while wrapping a loose hand around his now soft cock.
He mewled a little and sunk further into the sofa.
“It's ok baby, don't be embarrassed. May I ask you what exactly you had in mind?” you asked him, keeping a gentle rhythm on him and circling your tongue around his head.
With a shaky intake of breath he started speaking.
“One night we were staying in a hotel somewhere and there was no way I could sleep. I was so tired but I just couldn't. I didn't want to bother you so I just started messing around with my phone. I ended up on an adult website and…fuck, baby just like that.”
You had successfully derailed his train of thoughts by sucking gently on his tip, tasting his sweet precum.
But the distraction was short-lived.
You needed to know more.
“And?” You pressed him to continue.
“And I randomly chose a video to watch and touch myself to. But when I scrolled down I ended up on a video about…this” he said, pointing to the toy that laid there abandoned on the couch.
He knew you wanted more, so after a few seconds, he went on.
“Fuck, I still get so hard thinking about it. In the video there was a woman penetrating her man with one of this things and he sounded like it was the best thing he had ever had. It looked and sounded like she was ripping the soul from his body. And damn it if I didn't want to try it. It made me cum so hard and so quick I was so embarrassed. I felt so ashamed but I couldn't stop watching it. I wanted to finally try this when you arrived earlier.” he confessed with his cheeks ablaze.
You had completely stilled your hand and mouth on him. You felt incredibly overwhelmed by his words and your brain was having a hard time concentrating.
You two weren't new to that kind of fun either.
It all started the night after a delicious wine-tasting event. The two of you were pleasantly tipsy and you couldn't take your hands off each other as soon as you got home
You were on the couch, clothes already scattered all over the floor and your hands were wandering on each other's bodies. Yours had taken residence on his perfect perky ass and you were kneading the muscles in your hands, making him groan and whimper.
Suddenly your hand slipped and your fingers made contact with his back entrance causing him to whimper and moan your name.
You had frozen after that, looking him in the eyes completely lost in his reaction.
Right there, with a little smirk on his upturned mouth and his eyes glittering from wine and arousal, he wrapped a hand around your wrist and brought two of your fingers to his lips, sucking on them sloppily. Then he dragged them down to repeat the motion that had him moaning over and over again until you were knuckle deep inside of him and he was a whimpering mess.
Maybe your fingers weren't enough anymore and he needed more.
And you were going to give him anything and everything he ever wanted.
He noticed you were lost in your head and his gentle touch on your lips brought you back to the task at hand.
You wrapped your lips around his thumb, sucking lightly, and then letting it drop from your mouth.
You met his eyes and your heartbeat sped up considerably.
He looked so needy and fucked-out already. Delicate and delicious.
“Did you want to try this all alone?” You asked him pouting slightly because he hadn't told you he wanted to try that before.
“Yeah, sorry. I didn't… I guess I didn't know how to bring this up. I can't even say it to be honest” He confessed sheepishly.
“Really? You didn't know how to tell me you wanted me to fuck you in the ass with this bad boy here?” You told him patting the silicone at his side and making him groan out loud at you choice of words.
“Fucking hell baby. You are torturing me. Don't stop.” He said in a pained tone and you winked at him.
“Did you edge yourself with it before I arrived and interrupted you?” you asked then, in a sliver of voice.
He nodded, biting his lower lip, embarrassed.
“Well, Jakey, why don't you show me then? I'd like to watch you have some fun with our little friend here.” You whispered, sensual and dirty, handing him the dildo and the lube and then making yourself comfortable on a cushion on the floor, right in front of his spread legs.
His breath hitched in his throat as he saw you there watching and admiring him like that.
Yours was just a façade. You appeared to him absolutely calm and collected, but internally you were exploding and fighting the urge to jump his bones and destroy him with that toy.
The moment he switched the toy on at the minimum speed, you imperceptibly jumped and bit your tongue to stop yourself from moaning when you saw his hard cock twitch against his flushed tummy.
Your eyes followed his every move with bated breath as he drenched the toy with lube. You watched as he angled his erection upwards with the thumb of his free hand and brushed the tip of the vibrating toy against his flushed head.
A whimper left his lips.
Then he started circling the toy around his tip, focusing on the little spot right under the head and his toes curled at the sensation.
You were going to implode.
He started caressing his shaft with it, up and down, up and down, panting heavily, first just with the tip of the toy and then grabbing the length of it and placing it flush against his member. .
He almost screamed when he prodded the toy against his full tensed balls and you felt your arousal absolutely drench your panties at the sight.
He was about to drag the toy further down but he stopped abruptly, blushing furiously and abandoning it on the couch with a pained groan.
His brain was taking over, making him feel ashamed for what he was doing.
The moment he made eye contact with you, you knelt on the cold floor and crawled towards him.
You closed the distance between the two of you and sat on the sofa at his side, kissing him and stealing his breath away.
“Relax Jakey, let me take care of you” you whispered on his lips and he sighed.
You slipped back on the ground and took him in your hand and then in your mouth, the warmth of it making him hiss.
Your rhythm was slow on his dick and it was making him go crazy.
After a while, when finally he had managed to relax again, you grasped his hand and placed it on the toy that was still humming lightly at his side.
His eyes met yours questioningly but you just nodded and hummed approvingly when he took the toy in his hand.
You placed his hand between his legs and made him almost double over in pleasure when you gently made him press the silicone tip against his taint while keeping your mouth on him.
The scream that echoed into the room was heavenly.
You wanted to hear it again.
You pressed his hand with the toy with a bit more intention there and he cursed, his body tensing.
At that moment your hand slipped further down and you made him push the toy right against his hole, eliciting from him a low moan that made a shiver run down your spine.
You removed both the toy and your mouth from him and he cursed and pleaded with you to just touch him again.
He was about to take the matter into his own hands when you bit on the inside of his thigh to stop him.
Then, while maintaining eye contact with him you licked a broad stripe on the underside of his balls and you pressed your pointed tongue right against his taint and further down, rimming his fluttering hole over and over again while your eyes burned into his.
His eyes rolled back and you chuckled. You loved teasing him like that.
“Holy shit, angel!” He whimpered and clawed at the couch as your tongue kept licking at his entrance with different kinds of pressure.
When, abruptly, you stopped he started begging you, immediately.
“Please, baby, pleasepleaseplease, just fuck me already I can't take it anymore” he slurred, out of breath.
But you were feeling cruel and you didn't want to give in just yet. You wanted to play with him and you were sure he was going to love every second of it.
You removed your mouth from him and he shivered when you started whispering against the sweaty skin of his hip.
“Now, my sweet good boy, would you like to play a game with me?” You said while skimming your lips from his hip to the underside of his cock.
You knew he was going to agree to everything you suggested. He was always down for this kind of games.
“Fuck yes, I do” he answered, closing his eyes and relaxing back.
“I am going to give you everything you want over and over and over again, but on one condition.” You stopped talking until his eyes were open and focused on yours.
When you knew he was looking at you, you started caressing the outside of his muscular thighs, reveling in the way the muscles jumped under your delicate touch while maintaining a devilish eyecontact.
When you reached his knees, you let your hands wrap around them and you pushed them upwards until he was deliciously spread open for you with his bent legs close to his face.
“Keep these beautiful legs of yours spread open for me and wrap your hands around your knees, Jakey. Oh, and hold on tight because if you take them off I'm going to stop and you'll go to bed with blue balls. Understood?” You deadpanned and he knew you meant business.
“Fuck me. Yes, I understand.” He whimpered as your hands caressed the back of his thighs and pressed them further apart.
“Are you ok with this, Jake?” You whispered and he started nodding and saying yes even before you had finished the sentence.
You chuckled but he interrupted you, sounding already on the verge
“I'm beyond the point of no return. I think I may go crazy if you don't just fuck me already.” He confessed spreading himself even further for you.
You delved right in then, skimming your tongue against his entrance and wrapping a tight hand around his leaking cock.
You loved feeling him flutter under the steady licks of your tongue.
When you knew he was relaxed and ready, you stopped stroking him, you let a few drops of lube fall on your fingers and started pushing one inside him, making his scream in pleasure.
“Please, another” he groaned when the first wasn't even fully inside of him yet but you didn't even think twice before giving him exactly what he was asking for.
Soon a third finger joined the other two and you couldn't take your eyes off from where his body was rhythmically swallowing and enveloping your fingers into its warmth.
That image would be engraved in your brain forever, you were sure of it.
He was being such a good boy that you wanted to reward him, so you slightly curled your fingers upwards, making him exhale a high-pitched moan as you easily found his special spot.
“Now I'm going to use the toy, Jakey” you whispered, gently removing your fingers from him and he nodded, struggling to keep his eyes open.
You grabbed the toy you had previously switched off and drenched it one last time with lube.
You circled the tip of it around his hole and Jake whined when you turned the light vibrations on.
You kept teasing him like that for a few minutes before he begged you again to just push the toy in to the hilt. He was desperate.
As you pressed the toy a few inches inside of him he moaned your name, relieved, and arched his back trying to push it in further.
“Please, push it all the way inside. I need it so bad.” He whispered and you obeyed, watching him shiver and arch his back in pleasure as the toy penetrated him deeper and deeper. Watching his toes curl in your peripheral vision was having the worst effect on you, making you moan.
As you kept the toy inside of him you took the opportunity to observe him closely.
He had slipped further down the sofa and was now laying with his back almost all the way on the seat of the couch with his head bent against the back cushion.
He had trapped his hands in the crease behind his spread knees to prevent himself from letting them go and disobeying you.
He was panting heavily, his lips were reddened and sleek with saliva and swollen from the constant biting.
His neck and his heaving chest were covered in sweat, making his skin glitter.
His long hair was completed damp with sweat and strands of it were plastered all over his cheeks and collarbone.
You couldn't help yourself.
You bent over him and kissed him intensely. His tongue wasn't fighting for dominance, like it usually was. He was granting you total control on his body, and you were about to reward him.
As you kept your eyes planted on his face, you started pulling the toy out of him and you saw his face scrunch up and then relax again when you pushed the toy back in.
You repeated the motion again and again, angling the toy so it would massage his special spot and he started whimpering lowly every time it did.
The need to see him unravel completely by your hand was increasing in your chest so you quickened your rhythm, bending to whisper into his ear.
“You better hold on tight, baby, ‘cause I'm about to fucking ruin you.” you hissed in his ear and began moving the toy at a punishing rhythm. That caused his back to arch violently from the couch and a string of curses left his mouth.
“Oh fuck me, angel, just like this, oh my god. Yes fuuuck, right there” He moaned out loud with his eyes squeezed shut as a sequence of particular harsh thrusts hit his prostate in rapid succession.
His eyes snapped open and he cursed loudly when you sucked his balls into your mouth. You started massaging them delicately with your tongue, making him almost scream, while his cock, rock hard and leaking, laid twitching but still neglected on his sweaty tummy.
Your arm started cramping with the unforgiving rhythm you were using to fuck the toy inside of him but you didn't plan on stopping until he was coming harder than he ever had.
With your other unoccupied hand, you were grasping his hip so strongly you were sure you were leaving marks there. You couldn't wait to see his bruises there and remind him who he belonged to.
A particularly intense suction on his full balls paired with the harsh punching his prostate was enduring were what sealed his fate.
He held his breath and you knew he was about to unravel.
When finally he reached the point of no return, it looked as if he had completely lost control over his body. His head started thrashing around and a prolonged scream left his lips.
Ropes of cum covered the sweaty skin of his chest, creating a beautiful painting. Some drops of it even landed on his neck, chin and lips since he was still pretty much folded in half.
The intensity of his orgasm made him dig his nails so hard into the delicate skin behind his knees that he ended up scratching himself.
You kept your eyes peeled on him, admiring him in all his naked glory as his chest heaved and his mouth dropped open in the throes of utmost pleasure, before he started to finally calm down.
You slowed down the thrusts of the dildo and bent over him again. You licked away the drops of cum still on his lips and kissed him, making him taste himself on your tongue and groan.
You were about to remove the toy from inside of him and pamper him with a nice hot bath when you noticed something.
He was still very much hard and you wanted to prolong his pleasure, since he had obeyed your orders so diligently.
You were about to make him remember that night forever.
A loud hoarse curse echoed in the room as you angled the vibrator upwards and put it at maximum speed moving it gently against his prostate without thrusting too harshly.
Then, to maximise his pleasure, you plunged him down your throat while one of your hands gently massaged and squeezed his balls.
He was completely gone in an instant, babbling and moaning unintelligible words that sounded very much like a mix of curses and your name.
You hadn't noticed that he had removed his hands from his knees until you felt one of them bury in your hair.
His grip got progressively harsher on you but you were loving it.
At one point his thighs snapped closed, trapping your face between his legs and muffling the beautiful sounds he was making.
His back arched abruptly and his other hand gripped the back of the couch in an iron grip as his mouth dropped open in a scream so loud it was absolutely impossible that your neighbours didn't hear it.
You felt him twitch in your mouth and, immediately after, he spurted his warm release down your throat. His body twitched and shook and his chest heaved like he had just finished a marathon. He was so beautiful you wished your eyes could take pictures.
An indefinite amount of time had passed when finally he relaxed the grip of his thighs from your face and of his hand from your scalp.
You clearly saw some of your ripped hair hanging between his fingers when he moved his hand from your head, but you didn't care. You were ready to do that all over again as soon as he asked you to.
He couldn't keep his eyes open and he was having a hard time calming his heartbeat and breathing.
You removed your mouth from around him and he shivered but still he was a sight to behold.
His hair was completely damp with sweat and clinging onto his forehead, cheeks and neck.
Little rivulets of sweat adorned his chest and strings of pearlescent cum decorated his tummy chest and collarbone from his previous orgasm.
He had the most relaxed and blissed-out face you had ever seen with his rosy tortured lips slightly parted and his eyes closed.
But still he wasn't talking.
You started to worry. He was about to slip entirely off the couch so you tried to call his name, but he just mumbled in response, without opening his eyes
You tried to keep him from falling, but with your sore knees and arms you couldn't and, at some point, he fell dragging you down with him and landing with his head on your chest.
You chuckled at his expenses. You had never seen him so fucked-out.
“Jakey?” You whispered after a few minutes, caressing his hair.
“Hmhm” he grumbled in a sliver of voice.
“Are you ok?” You asked him, moving your hand gently down his spine.
“Yeah” he whispered, but he didn't move.
You two laid there a bit more reveling in eachother's presence until you felt him shiver.
“Jake?” You whispered again.
“Yeah?” He answered this time, sounding almost asleep.
“We should take a nice hot bath, what do you think?” You suggested, trying to sit up but failing miserably.
“No” he said, the pout evident in his tone.
“C'mon, we can sleep afterwards” you tried to convince him.
After a little more persuasion and a few giggles from your part, he finally relented and you managed to make him roll off of you. Getting him up wasn't exactly easy, since his legs were shaking with the aftermath of your devilish ministrations.
When finally the two of you were pleasantly immersed in hot water and he was laying with his back against your chest, you started washing the sweat and remnants of that crazy evening off his spent body.
“Are you ok?” You finally asked while you rinsed his hair one last time.
He didn't answer you.
Instead he turned around in the tub and kissed you deeply, caressing your body gently but passionately with his calloused fingers.
Then swiftly, he grabbed your hips and pushed you out of the tub, making you sit on the edge of it with your back against the cold wall and your legs spread open in front of his face.
You gasped and grabbed at his shoulder to steady yourself while you observed him astonished.
You were about to speak but he stopped you, placing a wet finger against your parted lips.
“Remember, angel, the one who laughs last laughs best” he whispered, bringing his mouth closer and closer to your heath.
He was going to get his revenge, and you were absolutely ready for it.

IWTV s2... an (emotional) recap
Between the spoilers dropping before the last three episodes and the content of the episodes themselves we really have gone through the emotional wringer.
I think I have rewritten this three times over, because my feelings kept changing.
I had hoped for more, I got more than I wished for, I wanted something else, they hit the nerve precisely...
And now with the season 3 announcement:))))
Maximum emotional carnage - indeed.
Everything ... up to that NOLA visit in episode 8 and the actual ending... is not the truth. Let that sink in.
The trial: scripted (and Lestat breaking out of it for the important bits)
Claudia's turning: So much... more raw.
Claudia's death: brutal. That final look between her and Lestat was one of the most painful things to witness.
Her diaries (pages): mostly unused. I am a bit unnerved bc of that wasted Merrick reveal and aftermath implementation tbh. Louis is not freed up after it, but... he should have been, imho. Though, that said, with Dubai likely a stand-in for Trinity Gate... maybe the arc fits after all - BUT I still think they could have done more with her diaries. I get why they wanted to escape the “white savior trap“ but this way Louis did not get that power-up that will ultimately bring him to where it frees him. But who knows... maybe they will implement a version of it all still.
The broadcasting and Loustat's relationship in general: Armand putting a fantasy retelling into Louis' brain. Holy shit.
Flashbacks to 1790: Self-indulgent fanfiction.
Dubai: Stepford Wives via mind gift. 💀
Daniel: Supposedly(*) turned out of spite. I absolutely get why DM fans are besides themselves with this and the comments after.
The story itself: More or less ending exactly where the first book puts us. I do NOT know why they kept that title a secret, it's not hinting at anything other than that simple fact, imho. :)
So.
You know, them using the movie "Gaslight" for the poster reference makes more and more sense now, because that is how I feel a bit at least: gaslit. Just a little bit.
Because... Nice reunion that you had there... too bad it will turn out to be the contested NOLA one, I would bet real money on it. 😅
......
Sarcasm aside, this is a brilliant show. But I am NOT looking forward to another two years of bullshit accusations (by some) because they were mostly/only spelled things out in the episode insiders, and only broke things up in the last episode. Or of people confusing the meta and social commentary level with the in-universe one.
Which, by the way, I'm happy that they went there. And I am relieved that they spelled things out in the episode insiders. Truly. But as experience has shown after season ONE... implied manipulations, episode insiders and interviews, and cast/crew/writer statements don't mean jack shit to some people.
So yeah, where does this leave us?
This was a dark season. I think I'm not totally wrong when I say that most of us did not get what we wanted from it, neither DM, nor Loumand, nor Loustat. Or Claudeleine.
"Locked together in hatred" comes to mind, though "hatred" is obviously (way) too strong a word. (But that quote fits so nicely 😏🤓)
We DID get some of what we wanted. But for a show which built so heavily on other books... to follow the first book then so closely?? I don't know, it leaves me a bit unsatisfied(**). It feels as if they just shut the book, to be done with it, you know?
I still enjoyed the season, there were brilliant parts in it. But it feels... bloodless. Sexless. Empty of affection. Harrowing. Which is, of course, the point.
This... is a depressing, hinting at suicide-through-vampires note.
Which won't happen, of course.
Because here we get to (**), which is of course ™️ them announcing s3 just prior to the last episode;))) And thereby making some things clear by that fact alone :)) 🙌🙌🙌
I said it before, I expect them to revisit... again. Given that this will be in what, 1,5 to 2 years from now? Well. Hopefully still in 2025. And I hope the arc they spun over these three seasons will be done then. And we can move forward.
I do hope this show will get 10 seasons. But for the first time since it aired I wished we'd already be ahead, in season 4 or something. 😅 Because this heap of loose endings is... taxing^^. Though definitely coming very softened as a blow now with the s3 renewal that’s for sure^^
Can't wait to hear your thoughts, if you want to share them. But these are mine. For now.
I'm sure there will be a lot of details, and analysis and meta to follow, and I'm looking forward to it. 🥰🙌
S1 and s2 were a tale... I mean we knew. But I would have preferred a bit more... truth.^^
Because that Magnus‘ tower scene?! No way. The metaphorical push off the tower??? No way, sorry Rolin but if they let that stay… that’s not giving agency that’s removing Lestat‘s suffering for their weird “toxic masculinity arc“ that Sam hinted at and which was - IN THE BOOK!!! - a misjudgment of Akasha.
AND it is removing Lestat‘s suffering to give more nuance to other characters. -.-
Given Hannah‘s episode 5 comments I hope they do not make a misjudgment of his character there. The red flags are there though, especially after the recent interviews, have been ever since that DV drop, and I have people come to me via DMs now to tell me they’re leaving the fandom bc they’re scared of another GoT…. which I get.
I… still have some faith. I know Rolin tends to put his foot into his mouth at times, he is a troll, and for all her takes on ep5 Hannah also wrote other brilliant scenes.
And we have Sam and Jacob as trump cards.
I‘m determined to enjoy this - this is what we‘ll get. I waited 30 years. I won’t go anywhere. I will enjoy what they give us.
I won‘t like all their decisions. That I am aware of.
BUT I will enjoy it, going in open-eyed, nonetheless.
(*) okay that is obviously bullshit, Armand would not turn him out of spite. Which is another hint I guess. But I talked about that in asks^^ At length 😅

FAQ
One click spot for frequently asked questions, pertaining to HELLAWEEN and art in general. This will be linked in my bio and updated over time.
HELLAWEEN -What was the inspiration behind HELLAWEEN/How did it come to be?
In 2014 I had just graduated college and moved across the country for a storyboard internship at a film studio. I had a huge quarter life crisis when the environment clashed with me in every way, which left me questioning if I had made a massive career choice mistake. To help take the edge off I decided I needed to come up with some characters that were as self indulgent as possible. So I asked myself "What if there was Halloween level of a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game?" and "What if My Chemical Romance wrote the soundtrack to Scooby Doo?" and thus, the main cast was born. Originally I didn't have any plans with them, I was just having fun drawing them for inktober and developing their personalities. Once the internship ended and I was able to set my career back in motion with some significantly better studio atmosphere fits for me in California, I started getting more serious about developing a linear story. I spent some time pitching different versions to tv studios and shorts programs. Got some great feedback but no real bites. Fortunately, I had a post blow up that caught the attention of my publisher who reached out to see if I was interested in doing a book instead and I LEAPED at the opportunity! HELLAWEEN is very much inspired by my own teenage years, growing up in the Bay Area, being surrounded by alt and skate cultures in the 2000's. As well as exploring identity, and growing up queer but the words for "how" didn't really exist yet. Plus a deep love for spooky cartoons and stylish anime, of course.
-What kind of music pairs the story/characters?
Great news I have playlists for everyone
Gwen- Ashnikko and My Chemical Romance Miles- 100 gecs and Oingo Boingo Sloane- PUP and The Cure Hiro- Gorillaz and Maximum the Hormone Bea- AFI and The Used -Do you have any voice claims for the cast?
I’d mostly want them to be played by actual teenagers. But I have a couple in mind that I think could work—
Gwen I could see Valeria Rodriguez (Lagoona and Spectra on the current MH series) Miles maybe someone like Zeno Robinson (Hunter Owlhouse) Sloane I have no idea, but definitely a VO who’s non binary who can sound like a strong leader.
With Hiro and Bea it’s impossible to not hear Dante Basco and Grey Griffin in my head. The Jocks I would kill to cast any actor from Riverdale I could get my hands on. The rest I have no idea.
-What are the character's pronouns/orientations? Gwen- She/Her Miles- He/Him Sloane- They/Them Hiro- He/him Bea- She/Her Jarrahdale- She/Her Headless Horse Kid- He/Him Fritz- They/Them Whitney- She/Her Hazel- She/Her Kyle- He/Him Dom- He/Him Ester- She/Her In general I don't want to define their sexual orientations. I'm an aroace author and it's not something I'm interested in writing about. Ideally, I'd like to give the audience room to project themselves onto the characters. Don't get me wrong this book is QUEER and themes of identity are important, just don't expect any kissing in the canon story. Headcanons on the other hand, go nuts!!! The Jocks however, are all bi or pan. Can I get HELLAWEEN in ____ country/language?
Getting it published outside of the US is not out of the question, but at the moment I don't have any concrete info on that. I've heard folks have had good luck getting the book through their country's Amazon site or Bookshop.org Can I draw fanart/make my own playlists/write fanfiction/make a character?
oh my GOD yes ART Who are your artistic inspirations?
Jhonen Vasquez and Aaron Alexovich, FLCL, Jamie Hewlett, The Muppets, Mike Mignola, Mob Psycho 100, Rem's Devil's Candy, early Tim Burton, 2000's Neopets, Pokemon, plus online artists I’ve looked up to for years or grew up drawing with. What programs do you use?
Comics- Clipstudio Paint Sketching- Procreate Storyboarding- Storyboard Pro Writing- Final Draft/Google Docs What ink markers do you use in your sketchbook?
Copic markers, pentel pocket brush, pilot brush pens, micron fine liners Check out my episode of Creative Block!

Cassandra Nova/TVA agent!reader
Last night I could not stop thinking about Cassandra Nova with the Juggernaut helmet on her head. She's so cute in this scene 🥺.
So I typed this self indulgent little fic on my phone. I've never shared this kind of writing publicly before and I feel a bit shy, but I feel like a few poeple might enjoy.
Summary : right after rebuilding her body from scratch, Cassandra Nova is captured by the TVA. Reader is a mutant with strong mind powers working as a consultant for the TVA. Their job right now is to check on Cassandra Nova and make sure she is healing well.
Content warning : light whump (chronic fatigue due to powers loss, low appetite), graphic death threats.
It should have shocked you at least a little, but again, you come from one of those freaky timelines.
The team they sent to clean the mess left by Paradox was instructed to be careful when getting rid of the rubbles around the Time Ripper, but you doubt they expected to find a body, unscathed and alive.
That's when you were called, with the instruction to bring one of those Adamantium helmets.
A few days passed, and now you are standing inside a maximum security cell. You doubt it is necessary, though.
The helmet looks painfully heavy on Cassandra Nova's head. Depriving her completely of her powers right after she managed to rebuild herself a whole body from a few scraps of cellular tissue is a cruel treatment, but you know there is no other choice.
She stares at you from the wheel chair she's been given until she fully recovers. When you deprive a powerful telepath from their telekinesis, it takes their body a while to reajust. You know this well, you are a powerful psionic mutant yourself.
You take the metallic chair and sit facing her. She doesn't react and you notice her eyes are lost in the vague.
"Don't worry" you say softly "in a few days you'll be back on your feet."
You don't doubt this is true, and it frightens you a little. You notice how frail she looks under the loose standard TVA beige jumpsuit.
"Did you rest well last night ?" you keep talking. "Today was raspberry pie day. Did you like it ? I bet you love sweet things."
Still no answer. You already know she liked the pie. Or at least it's the only thing she finished on her tray.
"The TVA doesn't really know what to do with you, you know. You survived death by atomization. I can think of a handful of ways to kill you, but don't worry, it's not what's been decided."
You look for a reaction, but you find none. You are not even sure she registers your words. But it doesn't matter much, what matters is the calm tone of your voice and how firmly you keep eye contact.
"Director B-15 ruled out your pruning by the TVA was irregular. You should not have been sent to the Void as a new born baby, no matter what level of consciousness you had since the womb. She pleaded to put the cause of your actions on your mental state, for which the TVA can be held accountable. In other words, no harm will be done to you."
"Remove this immediately so I can rip your limbs apart and burn this place to the ground" she moans.
You smile.
"Not a very convincing argument, you know."
She lifts her hand and looks at her fingers with painful confusion. You almost feel bad for her. Without her powers, the world must be a terrifying place.
You tentatively reach for her hand. She grasps yours and squeezes intensely, as if she was trying to phase through your flesh and bones. She doesn't have enough strenght to hurt you so you let her do, until you reverse the roles and envelop her hand in yours.
You look at her long fingers and the uncanny shape of her nails while massaging her palm. You wonder if small gestures of comfort are universal. Maybe she doesn't understand your intentions. She doesn't seem to mind, at least.
"The TVA is debating over the involvement of your brother. Would you like to meet Charles ?" you ask.
Cassandra perks her head and a twisted smile creeps on her pale lips.
"I met him already. A lot of hims, in fact. They were all so sweet when they screamed and ask me to make it stop and splatter their lovely brain on the walls."
You shiver because you know she's saying the truth.
"I meant involving your Charles."
She pouts.
"He doesn't care."
"I am sure he will once he learns about you. And he could help our Judges to decide what's best for you."
She leans forward.
"I want to go home"
She sounds so helpless. It almost makes your heart ache.
"That's the idea" you reply "once we've found a suitable home for you."
She shakes her head.
"I mean home home. In the Void."
You sigh.
"I don't think this will be possible. I know you really loved it there, but you have proven we can't let you roam free anymore."
Cassandra hisses, showing her bare teeth, and before you can react, her fingers are clenching to your neck.
You gasp in surprise and almost reach for your safety button by reflex, but you manage to control yourself and use your powers to get free from your assaillant's grip.
"See, I told you you would be on your feet very soon" you joke to deescalate the situation.
But Cassandra doesn't seem to find it amusing. Her hands are pinned in the air a few centimeters from your throat, she stares at you with her deadliest glare.
But it doesn't have the intended effect and you struggle to hide a smile.
You carefully catch her wrists, warry to not hurt her. She tries to struggle, but you have quite a strong power and she has none.
"Shhht" you hush "don't try to fight, you're going to hurt yourself."
Usually, in this situation, you would send calming mental waves, but you can't access Cassandra's mind under the Adamantium helmet.
"Fuck off" she hisses "once I get this godamn thing off my head I'll rip your eyes off and make you swallow them before I'll turn your guts inside out and set fire on what's left of you."
That's too much for you and you lose it. Does she know how stupid adorable she looks when she hisses like a angry kitten ?
You crack a smile and she spits at you. Her impotant rage awakes your comforting instinct.
"Shhhht, that's alright" you whisper with a singing, almost hypnotic voice. "I know you feel very angry right now and you want to hurt me and everyone in this building. That's okay, you can feel all this rage and threaten me as much as you want, I won't get mad at you."
You feel her squirm against you psionic force. Her efforts become more erratic and less focused.
When you feel the point of pressure shift, you release her and she collapses like a rag doll. You pick her up under her armpits and help her on her feet.
"Can you walk to your chair or do you need to be carried ?"
She doesn't lower herself to answer, silently stretching her arms towards you instead.
You hide a smile and use your powers to lighly levitate her in the air. She wraps her arms around you childishly and rests her head on your shoulder.
Gosh, this helmet is so heavy.
You slid an arm in her back and draw circles over her tense shoulders. She goes limper and limper, almost melting under your firm hold.
"Is it over ?" you ask kindly. "You are safe, here with me. Safe to express all your rage and your frustration. And also safe to ask for comfort, or a shoulder to rest."
You feel her wiggle a bit as she seeks a more comfortable position.
"I hate you" she mumbles.
"I know" you say "I know, you hate everyone but Charles. Do you think he wants to see you all worked up and exhausted ?"
"Why would he care ?" she asks almost hopefully.
"Because he's a kind man. Do you want to make him happy ?" you ask.
Cassandra lingers a moment and nods in silence on your shoulder.
"Good" you say. "For that, you need to recover your forces. Do you think you can do that for Charles ? Have a lot of rest and try to eat. Not just your dessert."
"I don't care about Charles, I just want to go home" she repeats.
"For now home is here" you say firmly. "A place were you are completely safe to recover and learn plenty of new things."
"What things ?" she asks, curiosity peering through her words.
"Emotional regulation, to begin with. And all the things you missed growing up on your own in the Void"
You drop her down delicately on her wheel chair and arrange the pillows around her head.
"This was your first lesson" you say. "Not everyone you meet is an enemy and some poeple are here to help."

Espresso Yourself Full CC
I love hot drinks while reading my favorite novels, so why not make it into a cozy business? Where all introverts bundle up together to create a fantasy in their minds and put it into story books. This lot is my inner introvert design came into fruition xD.
The floor plan is pretty much simple, I don't really like to burden employees with heavy cleaning haha.
Cafe Interiors is filled with Jacky93sims goodness (Donuts and pastries), most of them are self-service so, it's pretty much fun:
Library Interiors is pretty simple, discussions table and bunch of Parsimonious bookcases. I want to recommend this mod to create functional library. But you cant study life skills from AL so I am not recommend it.
I also love reading in a park, and eating street food and webnovel is a match made in heaven. So this is just a small part of that indulgence.
This computer room is where you can write articles or papers or just chat in the community.
Finally, a room where you can watch documentaries, novel inspired channel and many more, accompanied with Jack93sims popcorn maker.
Bonus room is upstairs using elevator, however it mostly for witches in training. You can stay here as long as you can until your witch level reach maximum.
I have tested the lot so for it's fun to play, people eating popcorn while watching Tv and many more. I originally want to make it residential business to make the computer room functional but, the bills goes through the roof. Haha, So yeah if you want you cant change it using cheats.

for the ask game: 6 for dead hearts and sinew&bone, 12 (sorry had to), and 17 👀
For this ask game! Thanks so much for playing <3
6. What’s one fact about the universe of a fic that you didn’t get a chance to mention in the fic itself?
Dead Hearts:
oooo probably Warlock stuff. I really love the concept of wizards, witches, and warlocks all being Different, nongendered, things instead of gendered and/or interchangeable names (I blame Septimus Heap for that one). Anyway, warlocks in Dead Hearts have a special connection to magic because while witches' magic connects them to the earth, warlocks are so much a part of the earth that magic flows directly from it through them--it's also what makes them able to read others' magic (like Eugene did to Jesse's) because they're a conduit for magic and connection as much as the earth itself is, so their magic is sort of...everyone's magic. It's a stream always flowing through them as opposed to a witch's bottomless lake. (Wizards might harness magic artificially, though I didn't completely flesh out that thought--a wizard is probably what Nick would have been during his first life, because his magic was being pulled from an outside source, and what Eugene was trying to do--and eventually succeeded in doing was open Nick to the flow of magic warlocks experience).
I wrote up a bunch more lore and realized that it would be a shame to share it in case I ever wanted to write about it, which means my dumb brain has probably decided it does want to write the theoretical eugesse spin-off at some point. so stay tuned for that in like 3 years i guess XD
Sinew & Bone:
So! When Nick sees Jesse in Eugene's room, they immediately recognize each other as pack. Nick had previously commented to Eugene to leave whatever werewolf he's sleeping with because it's obviously he's stressed all the time now and his scent is all mixed with wolf. The reason Nick didn't know then that Eugene's wolf was Jesse is that his brain filtered the possibility out. The scent was Eugene, Family, Wolf, and Nick immediately assigned the family association to Eugene completely on accident and with no recognition that he even smelled that on Eugene because his subconscious sees Eugene as family, so he didn't register anything amiss with Eugene's scent in that regard. So all he picked up from Eugene that was out of place was a random shifter's scent.
12. Are there any tropes you used to dislike but have grown on you?
oh man i fEEEL like there was a specific trope I immediately had in mind for this one but because I waited so long to answer, I literally can't remember anymore.
Perhaps song fics? I hate reading them but have ended up writing several tangential fics that DO quote song lyrics in them jfdsah Really I'm just a hypocrite. I'll come back if i ever remember my real answer??
17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?
oh man so many honestly. and like. I do it pretty regularly XD but two super specific and indulgent aus that genuinely no one but me and, like, one other specific person would read are:
1) characters somehow getting swapped with older/younger versions of themselves. For example, 25 year old Nick swapping places with 16 year old Nick and remembering what a dick baby Seiji was to him, while 16 year old Nick's trying to fight with a 25 year old Seiji. I like versions where it's just mind swapped and versions where it's whole body as well (those are fun for the oh no he's hot moment they come with). Fun fact, my original idea for the 'childhood' prompt in the 30 Day Fence Challenge was 17 or so Nick swapping out minds with 12 year old Nick but I couldn't make it work the way I wanted it to in the time I had to write it so it got shelved
2) the Ultimate self-indulgence of MAXIMUM cringe level but aus where a pre-get-together ship's future kid somehow gets dumped back in time and seeks out their parent/s and they're like what do you mEAN I married him?!?! and yes i do have a specific scenario for both Eugesse and Nichoji fics of this variety and if I had time to fit them in my writing schedules, y'all would have to suffer months of irrelevant content from me uwu

My self-indulgent (Batfam) AU
So we start with Reverse!Robins. It’s fun, it shakes up the character dynamics. BUT, we leave Damian where he is in canon. Is it fun to put him up front? Yes, but it poses timeline issues; for Damian to even be 9 puts Bruce in his late 20′s at the earliest, and pre-adolescent sidekicks died with the Silver Age. So Dami needs to wait for a bit. Since this is maximum self-indulgence (and I’m not a comics company), we’re making some other changes. For starters, BRUCE IS A GOOD DAD, DAMNIT, AND EVEN WHEN HE ISN’T, HE’S TRYING HIS BEST. Also eventual Brutalina and TimSteph. More details below the cut
So, the order of Robins:
Duke
Tim
Steph
Tim, again
Jason
Dick
Damian
This last bit is where things get spicy. Because Dick and Damian are almost the same age. And I don’t just mean same years old, i mean joint birthday party level.
Now, the Batgirls
Steph
Cass
Barbara
That was easy. Harper Row is still here, but she takes a more slant-ways approach into the Batfam. Likewise Kate Kane. Many of the sidekicks outside the Batfam have been flipped, but not all of them. Donna Troy and Wally West were still founding members of the Teen Titans, but alongside Duke. Dick’s era of Teen Titans are, admittedly, the 5-some from the cartoon, plus Roy Harper, Bizzaro, and Artemis of Bana-Mighdall.
Alright, I’m gonna let that ferment for a bit. I’ll post more soon. If anyone sees this and wants me to do a particular character bio first, say something.

Short Bio:
Base Age: 18 (Episode 100: Isolated in Cyber Space: Yugi vs. the Big 1 Part II)
DM/GX/5DS World Timeline, English Dub Based, Anime Canon Compliant: Manga/Anime/Filler/Movies/
Post-Canon: 18+
Gender/Pronouns: Cis Male, He/Him
Height: 6’1.26
Birthday: October 25th
Personality: loner, smart, ambitious, machiavellian, narcissistic, egotistical, desire for control over others, power, likes to subjugate/dominate/rule, desire for status (being the strongest/the greatest duelist), independent, self-indulgent, greedy, he likes duel monsters, challenges, and other strategy games like chess, etc.
Long Bio:
Takahashi’s graph on Kaiba’s personality:
This bipolar scale maps personality traits, and each row indicates two opposing ends of a spectrum, with a neutral midpoint of LV 0 indicating an ordinary/neutral level of the trait (a character not falling into either extreme). It effectively captures varying degrees of a trait.
For example, on the Narcissistic-to-Caring for Others scale shown in row 1, a score of 4 (out of a maximum of 5 on the left side, which represents the narcissistic end) indicates an extremely narcissistic character—this is Kaiba’s exact score. Conversely, a score of 4 out of a maximum of 5 on the right side, representing the ‘caring for others’ end, indicates a very high level of caring for others and the opposite of being extremely narcissistic/egotistical—this is Yugi’s exact score (see below).
Pictured graph: Character Yugi Mutou. Row 1: (Ranging from Narcissistic to Caring for Others) LV 4/5 in Caring For Others. Row 2: (Ranging from Crazy to In Self-Control) LV. 5/5 in Self Control. Row 3: (Ranging from Greedy/Obsessed to Desireless or Indifferent) LV. 2/5 Desireless or Indifferent.
Now I will list the graph on Kaiba’s personality:
Narcissistic: LV 4/5 (highly narcissistic/egotistical, opposite of caring for others on the graph.)
Crazy: LV 3/5 (highly crazy, opposite of in self-control on the graph.)
Greedy Or Obsessed: LV 4/5 (highly greedy/obsessed, opposite of being desireless/content with what one has on the graph. He has powerlust and is a pretty insatiable person)
Kaiba ranks very highly in traits like being narcissistic, and being greedy/obsessed, which is a personality distribution unlike the heroes, who are seen being high in traits appearing on the opposing side such as highly caring for others, in self-control, or desireless/content with what one has (which makes me think of the concept of Jedi in Star Wars), characters like Kaiba are high in being highly self-indulgent, egotistical, and greedy. This core personality distribution (highly self-indulgent, egotistical, and greedy traits) is shared with the villains of the work, reinforcing the narrative’s themes of opposition and constructing foils to the heroes of the work.
Opposing dynamic:
Him & Yugi are opposites and foils. Kaiba believes the cards are arms while Yugi believes they’re cards of friendship, Kaiba is the “Loner duelist” (Duel Links DSOD description) while the Yugi is “power of friendship” guy .
Backstory:
Related to his backstory: he fixates on becoming the new king of the new kind of war with the cards as arms (gaming), and replace the old king of the old history kind of war (Gozaburo, weapons industry led war) which he hates (wanted to topple the military corporation heralded by Gozaburo. His stepfather stole his VR to be used in weapons industry kind of war, when it was supposed to be for gaming kind of war. Kaiba vowed he would get revenge for this, and that he’d make a new KaibaCorporation that stood for gaming and destroy all their old KaibaCorp facilities. Which he successfully did when Gozaburo died.)
Duel Disks/KaibaCorp Technology and weaponized duel monsters are considered to be dangerous weapons because they can cause death/harm, for example by not being able to discern reality or from harm or death
Timeline:
DM/GX/5DS World Timeline, English Dub Based, Anime Canon Compliant: Manga/Anime/Filler/Movies/
Note: Because my Kaiba is anime timeline and not manga timeline compliant, only pyramid of light and bonds beyond time (anime timeline movies) are canon. The manga timeline has pegasus dying in duelist kingdom arc and ends with the DSOD movie (manga timeline movie). It’s left open ended (different possible futures maybe died maybe didn’t) — it’s left open ended if manga Kaiba died at the end of DSOD
The anime is a separate continuity that for example has pegasus conversely not die in duelist kingdom arc and lives far into GX and only dying later in life. So since my Kaiba is anime timeline, his pegasus is still alive.
it’s his self-made destiny to defeat his eternal rival. He has to have a nemesis. “I will become the king!” Gotta win & keep on winning cause his ambitions are forever vaulting.
Duelist Kingdom Arc
Virtual World Arc
Battle City: Part 1
Noah's Virtual World Arc
Battle City: Part 2
Waking The Dragons Arc
Grand Championship Arc
Pharoah's Memories Arc
Ceremonial Battle

January 1st 2025: Castlebar to Ennis via Galway (bus)
Quarter-century of living is coming around the corner and despite what everyone says, I'm more acutely aware of how fractional time is.
Essentially, all going well, I'm a third of the way through of what statistical averages suggest I have in the bank of good health for my lifespan, so I finally have to get the boot under my arse and start looking after myself better. This is the point where I don't have the cushion of playing off youthful resilience while I play poker with my own physical and mental state.
So, even though I don't like to make lengthy lists of resolutions- habit-forming and habit-breaking are the bane of life for someone with executive dysfunction- I am going to at least set aside a few good sense ideas that I can bounce back to whenever I start feeling the carpet pulling underneath my feet.
Consistency: whatever I do this year, whether it be objectively constructive or destructive, I should at least try to maintain it at a similar level for the sake of stability. Naturally, I don't want this to be a way of encouraging harmful behaviours but I don't believe I'll ever truly break from the pattern of indulging them if I don't reach a stage where I don't demonise myself for falling into them. Patchwork skills profiles and falling into extremes of achievement or disappointment are intense enough to disrupt large swathes of my time. I don't want to spend next December looking back at gaps in my memory or stagnant weeks of barely surviving. Even if I reach that stage, I want to be able able keep making the incremental efforts to move from survival to actually living.
Active living, not passive: A skill I have only in recent years begun to appreciate is the intensity at which I can hyperfocus. Enough that I can dissociate entirely from my environment and solely take in information from whatever I put my focus in. Although that state isn't triggered with any great regularity, that sense of detachment and dissociation is something I've become a lot more conscious of in the last few months. I've somehow reduced myself to a background observer of my own life; allowing other external circumstances and other people's choices and decisions dictate my life because it conserves my mental energy. It has its uses, certainly; using that coping mechanism has definitely been a factor in reducing the frequency of my migraine episodes. But the downside is that by doing so, I've almost unlearned how to do things for myself, to bear responsibility for my life and how I utilise my time. Too many days have been left in a paralytic state of dormancy; no sense of progression or regression, which completely throws my temporal awareness off balance in the moments when it becomes necessary to attune myself to societal obligations.
Know the limits: 2024 was a year of stretching all the limits I had, whether they were deadlines, comfort levels, physical exertion or opportunities, to their maximum capacities. This isn't sustainable long-term. Instead, knowing what a hard limit is and internalising the consequences of hitting the wall is something I could badly do with working on. In another sense, it's also something I need to explore in other areas of my life; being able to decide what's a reasonable amount of leeway to give myself if I fall short of expectations or better judging when I have given too much of myself in a situation is something I have been improving at, but there's still a long way to go.
Be kind to myself: This is not the same as being nice to myself- that would mean letting myself chicken out of doing important stuff, which favours absolutely no one. I've spent so much of my life on this earth repressing aspects of myself, molding like a chameleon to fit the contexts and situations I find myself in. While on the surface, that allows for smoother interactions, the reality is that I have lost so much of my sense of self that I have a fragmentary collage of facets in place of a solid identity. I mold to suit expectations set by others, while chastising myself for not meeting them when I don't actually set them for myself. I say things that I think others would say, while not sharing my own opinions and feelings without a modicum of self-censorship. Writing has done a lot for releasing some aspects of myself that I keep locked away, but I could do well to have more good faith in people on a whole. Everyone wants to be understood as themselves on a level and I am coming to realise that you can only be encouraged by others being brave enough to share themselves truthfully with people.
Motivating life goals: since I was a child, I have always had an internal belief of “If I try hard enough, why shouldn't I be able to accomplish the goals that I set for myself.” There have been times where this innate determination has been sorely tested in various ways but ultimately, I have more or less been very successful. Barring my PhD- which I sincerely hope I can have completed next year- I have accomplished those internal, little-spoken of but dearly sought-after achievements that I expected to achieve within my lifetime. At the ripe old age of 24, I've made it further than my brain has ever considered planning for. Which says many things for my efficiency but is somewhat neglectful of how I look to live my life into later adulthood. I think it could be beneficial to settle on a new set of developmental milestones and career trajectories that I can follow. I have been very lucky in the opportunities and experiences that have come my way so far, but I can only avail of them if I can prepare myself for them. Now is a good time to think about the next decade of my life and what I can do to balance security with independence in a way that allows me to settle comfortably.
Relationships: As I get older, I have come to really value the people I choose to spend time with. I have some very important friendships and post-undergrad, I'm actually very proud of how I've been able to cultivate new and meaningful friendships. Having spent so much of my later childhood and adolescent years holding people at a distance and trying to avoid falling to surface-level situational friendships, be it due to geographical proximity or for the sake of not being alone, it feels immensely gratifying to know that having held out for nothing less than people whose principles I share and trusting that I will meet the people that I need to meet was worth it. Despite the social challenges and my own insecurities, I can indeed form meaningful relationships that have proven to be a lifeline in the darker moments of my life. I love them all more than I can probably express in any language and having finally understood the importance of interpersonal relationships, I hope to continue growing them and perhaps work on repairing those that are challenged or damaged. Life really is so much shorter than people credit it with and if we've made it to this moment in time, no matter where we are in life, then we owe it to ourselves to take advantage of it as best we can, no matter how you measure your best or how that measurement can change from one day to the next.
I don't know how often I'm going to write this blog. My travels are likely to be of a lesser distance and frequency, as my academic obligations start to stack up, but I have found that with transportation, generally a contradiction of travelling somewhere while conversely remaining stationary, I often find myself thinking over various situations; considering alternative interpretations of past events or positing variations of possible future ones. It can be a stimulating exercise and I think it could serve me- and perhaps somebody else- to be able to categorise and compile these thoughts somewhere from time to time. Even if it's just to remove the burden on my mind on occasion. After all, I don't do well with habits. But I do have a penchant for overthinking, so perhaps this can be a starting point for working on that consistency.

Unlock the Benefits of Panchakarma: How to Prepare Effectively
Panchakarma is an ancient Ayurvedic detoxification therapy designed to cleanse your body, rejuvenate your mind, and bring balance to your soul. However, achieving the maximum benefits from Panchakarma requires thoughtful preparation. Let this guide help you prepare for a transformative journey of healing and renewal.
Why Preparation Matters
Panchakarma aims to eliminate deep-seated toxins, restore harmony, and revitalize your energy. Preparation ensures that your body and mind are ready for this intensive process, helping to:
Loosen toxins stored in tissues.
Optimize your digestive fire (Agni) to process and eliminate toxins.
Adapt to the dietary and lifestyle changes required during treatment.
Minimize potential discomfort or side effects.
Proper preparation sets the stage for a smoother, more impactful detox experience.
Steps to Prepare for Panchakarma
1. Cleanse Your Diet (2 Weeks Before)
Begin with gradual dietary changes to prepare your digestive system:
Focus on Simplicity: Eat freshly cooked, easily digestible meals like kichadi (a mix of rice and lentils) or steamed vegetables.
Use Mild Spices: Incorporate digestive spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
Avoid Heavy Foods: Steer clear of fried, processed, and packaged foods. Limit dairy, meat, and sugary treats.
Hydrate Wisely: Drink warm water or herbal teas, such as ginger or fennel, to support digestion and detoxification.
Reduce Stimulants: Gradually reduce caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol to prevent withdrawal symptoms.
2. Strengthen Your Body
Incorporate Light Exercises: Gentle yoga or stretching enhances circulation and supports toxin mobilization.
Practice Abhyanga: A self-massage using warm Ayurvedic oils nourishes your skin and promotes relaxation.
Prioritize Sleep: Aim for at least 7-8 hours of restorative sleep each night.
3. Prepare Mentally and Emotionally
Detoxification isn’t just physical. Emotional and mental readiness is equally important:
Set Goals: Reflect on what you wish to achieve through Panchakarma, whether it’s physical healing, emotional clarity, or spiritual growth.
Practice Mindfulness: Incorporate meditation or deep breathing exercises to cultivate a calm and focused mindset.
Create a Support System: Share your journey with loved ones or join a community that understands your goals.
Declutter Your Schedule: Minimize distractions and reserve energy for your healing process.
4. Consult an Ayurvedic Practitioner
A personalized consultation is crucial for tailoring Panchakarma to your unique needs. During the consultation:
Discuss your health history, current concerns, and lifestyle.
Share any medications or supplements you’re taking.
Receive personalized recommendations for pre-treatment preparations, including dietary advice or herbal support.
5. Common Pitfalls to Avoid
To ensure a seamless experience, steer clear of these common mistakes:
Dietary Indulgence: Avoid eating foods that counteract the preparation phase, such as junk food or sugary snacks.
Skipping Rest: Overworking your body and mind can hinder detoxification.
Ignoring Guidelines: Always follow your Ayurvedic doctor’s advice diligently.
Over-Socializing: Preserve your mental energy by avoiding excessive social engagements.
The Rewards of Proper Preparation
When you invest time and effort into preparing for Panchakarma, you’re more likely to enjoy:
Effective Detoxification: A body ready for toxin elimination responds better to therapies.
Comfortable Healing: Minimized side effects such as fatigue or headaches.
Enhanced Results: Amplified benefits for your digestion, energy levels, and overall well-being.
Lasting Transformation: A higher chance of sustaining positive changes in your health and lifestyle.
Embrace the Journey of Renewal
Preparation is the key to unlocking the full potential of Panchakarma. By aligning your body, mind, and spirit with Ayurvedic principles, you pave the way for a transformative healing experience.
