         “Everything is fine. Really!” Came Ananke’s attempt to reassure her companions. Oh dear, did her emotions leak out again? That would not do. “I am simply... taking time for myself, as all.” People would not mind if she was in her living quarters for a few days to work on a certain project of hers. Surely.

Wowwwww, you meow like a cat! That means you are one, right? Shut the fuck up. If you really want to be put on a leash and treated like a domestic animal then that’s called a fetish, not “quirky” or “cute”. What part of you seriously thinks that any part of acting like a feline establishes a reputation of appreciation? Is it your lack of any defining aspect of personality that urges you to resort to shitty representations of cats to create an illusion of meaning in your worthless life? Wearing “cat ears” in the shape of headbands further notes the complete absence of human attribution to your false sense of personality, such as intelligence or charisma in any form or shape. Where do you think this mindset’s gonna lead you? You think you’re funny, random, quirky even? What makes you think that acting like a fucking cat will make a goddamn hyena laugh? I, personally, feel extremely sympathetic towards you as your only escape from the worthless thing you call your existence is to pretend to be an animal. But it’s not a worthy choice to assert this horrifying fact as a dominant trait, mainly because personality traits require an initial personality to lay their foundation on. You’re not worthy of anybody’s time, so go fuck off, “cat-girl”.

Please read your partner's rules!

Read the rules before you follow someone, and re-read them once every while to make sure you don't accidentally overstep boundaries or use triggering topics that may make them uncomfortable! It may seem like such an obvious thing, but it is actually a serious and rampant problem that people in fact DON'T read their partner's rules.

If someone has a password, then send it. You also have to message partners to send memes and prompts in, so don't tell me sending a password is a problem. Read these rules, send that password. If the password is an IC thing, clarify in your message that you only send this to confirm that you read the rules and don't want to make a big thing out of this.

If someone has an interest checker and it is a mandatory part of their rules, just fill it out. It can make it easier for your partner to decide which muse to send you if they run a multimuse and it shows that you read the rules and are genuinely interested in interacting with the other. If someone asks for specific things to be tagged, then tag them! Don't trigger your partners and then pull a surprised Pikachu face when you end up blocked. Respect your partner's demand for trigger warnings if they have them in their rules. Also, keep your tags simple! TRIGGER TW / TW TRIGGER. That's it. No fancy letters and emojis needed.

Too small text? Can't read? Message your partner and ask them for an alternative if you can't read their rules. I'm sure they can set up a doc or carrd for you with the rules in normal font-size without the use of obnoxious fonts and colors. It's all a matter of communication, which is and should be a basic thing in the RPC.

Please read the rules. Show your partner respect.

Hey hey!! Can I request a Nikolai and fyodor (separate) x reader who’s really into photography and takes a lot of photos of them! Then gets super embarrassed if they catch them?

Nikolai & Fyodor x Photographer! Reader

The serene sound of a camera clicking as you relish in the peaceful autumn breeze. It was quiet, and calm – just as you always liked it. The scene was beautiful.

There was nothing better than you, your beloved, and your precious camera as you took photos under the warm sun.

NIKOLAI GOGOL:

For quite a while now, Nikolai has been seeing you with your precious phone or camera all the time. He hasn't seen you without it nowadays.

Well, it sparked his curiosity – but he did know you had a knack for these kind of things now.

And honestly, he really likes your shots! It's always taken beautifully and the photo is clear as day. Most of the time you don't really show him, but special occassions you do.

You took a little photo of a bird eating once!

Nikolai was ecstatic when looking through them. There's a small sparkle in his eyes no one would have ever seen.

The fluffy, rare white birdies that flock around as you fed them. He loves it. Jing Yuan??

One day, you both decided to have a picnic. Just for fun, and to value the precious time you guys had while still free. Lots of snacks and ice cream!

Of course, pictures. You took lots of them. From the birds in the sky to the food you had made yourself.

Although they were beautiful, nothing compares to Nikolai.

The soft, golden glow around his body – the sun making his features similar to that of an angels. Oh! How handsome he is. The genuine, warm smile on his face blooming in joy.

You were at a loss for words. He was just too pretty to be true. All you could do...was raise your camera.

Well, you did try to be sneaky. Try.

Seeing him staring at the vast blue of the sky was a perfect angle in all honesty. But he looked the moment you took it.

And i now present to you, a teasing Nikolai.

He is downright DISRESPECTFUL when it comes to being a teasing, pretty boy of a lad like him. He stares at you with a glint of his green eyes, and you were dead right then since.

"Oh! Does my sweet birdy find me a photograph-worthy sight? Hm~?" He inches closer, face full of mischief.

You're just...flaming red. He's not even flirting man, that's overrated. Dazai crying in the corner

Although he does pester you to show him the glorious photo, you do so either way. And both of you enjoy looking at them all, smiles on your faces.

Since irl he's inspired by a writer, i headcanon he points to each photo and creates a small little story for it <3 cute!

And for the meme worthy photos...

Let's just say both of your stomachs hurt for laughing so much at his jokes. Uses random Gen Z humor he learned

"The bird shat respectfully. The manz was too stunned to speak, poo-poo on his rizz-worthy head."

In other words, it was a successful picnic ;)

FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY:

You'd never catch this mf off guard, EVER. It's so rare if you actually do, super incredibly rare.

Once in a blue moon.

But he appreciates it. Your love language is almost just sending him cute photos at this point, whether it be of you both or just him.

He's a hacker. I'd bet he hacks into your camera just to look at the shots himself bitch

Then again, you never fail to make his heart boom-boom. For a special occassion like his birthday or christmas, you'd prepare the gift wholeheartedly.

You'll print out the most prettiest photos of him you could find, and design it with aesthetic stickers and notes <3

It was the fanciest photo-card + letter he's ever seen.

Obviously rat, that's our gn kween (y/n)

And you may think he never appreciates it due to his calm and sadistic demeanor, but this man keeps it in his room and looks at it everyday with an actual genuine smile.

He'll never admit it, only when he probably feels romantic which is uh...let's countdown to 2738282 years /j

When you're just hanging out with him while he works, you just take photos for fun. His office may seem dark but your camera brings justice good phone? couldn't be me

But one particular time, you decided to attempt and be sneaky to take his photo.

The position he was in was perfect, so it was time.

You really thought you had it in the bag too. He just chuckles the moment you put the camera on him, and he turns around as you click.

You wanna strangle his ass <3

But oh hell, he's gonna be sly. Smirking at you all the while seeing your cute face turn completely red.

"милый, you seem to be enjoying yourself. Why not do a photo face-to-face?" He whispers, looking straight into your eyes as you nesrly die in fluster.

He's definitely having his fun teasing you, playing it out and making you look like a simp.

But the moment he stands up, fucking run

You're not making out of it alive the moment he gets his hands on that camera. He's merciless when it comes to teasing his bbg (ew /j)

Then again, at times he'll lie down with you peacefully, looking at the photos in silence.

He'll love every shot taken because it's you.

2 ~ This blog is for my HSR OC, please be respectful :)

3 ~ Owner of this blog (Hi, name's Lottie :3) will pop in sometimes, so please be nice! Also, mod is 22 and married! (basically no flirting outside of RP context)

4 ~ Please be nice to me OOC. Sometimes my replies are slow, because I do have a life outside of RP. Being mean in RP is cool, as long as it goes with the thread/the character.

5 ~ Communication is key!! If an RP thread isn't working for you/you want to drop it (given you provide me a reason) DM me and let me know! I'm actually nice I swear ( T . T )

7 ~ Just be respectful/nice in general on here. No hate of any kind will be tolerated.

8 ~ I can basically do any type of RP, but I do tend to use a more formally formatted type of RP, though.

(Her canon S/O will be announced as her story progresses) But, she is an adult! No child/underage ships are allowed. Platonic relationships are just fine.

canon likes to not focus on the kairi and riku dynamic but i remember. nomura you can't make me forget kh1 to kh2 and all the shit riku endured for kairi and the clear same level of care she has for him even if you only let her show it for like five minutes at most or have pieces of it mirrored in their relationships to other characters and barely acknowledge it otherwise. i'm not gonna delve too deep into this here because i'm already in the middle of doing a long ass post about what riku means to kairi so time to put a pin in that and onto plot ideas!

maybe threads were they talk about what's on their mind? they clearly do off screen. and let them tease each other oh my god. let them support each other while also being able to drag each other for little things. meeting riku exponentially increased her snark capabilities. just like how riku was protective of kairi, she is protective of him, though it tends to usually manifest in different ways, and they both could take it a bit too far unintentionally or not ( side eyes kh1 ). and a background element i vibe with? right person wrong time missed opportunities but echoes of it still there on both ends (*cough*orwecoulddosomethingwiththat*cough*).

sparring sessions! riku did visit her while she was learning under merlin so let them take a moment to train. the master can show her the ropes lest she run off into a crowd of heartless wildly swinging the keyblade around again.

you know, one thing they can have is their own long running score over anything and everything. from arcades to those table games like air hockey and soccer to who manages to bean a specific branch the most times with a rock to surfing to fishing to card games like triple triad to who can catch the most peanuts in their mouth to whoever can stomach the most donuts. just random things they do together and turn into an impromptu competition, and because it's been going on so long they sometimes get the current tally wrong and insist they're the one in the lead.

next time riku goes to destiny islands someone ( selphie? ) should really hand him the stack of sealed letters addressed to him by kairi but were never really intended to be sent since he had been mia off the islands for over a year. i wonder what they say...

oh, ha, maybe, one day, they're talking and kairi just casually mentions something in conversation that riku picks up on though she breezes past it without much thought like it's common knowledge but it isn't. because. because he thought she didn't know about it and the only time he mentioned it to her was during that time in kh1 when he had her empty body and implications are there now and

au time. *looks at your dark route* *looks back at you* p,,, please.

i too have an au or two you can peruse *trips and a bunch of aus falls out of my pocket* altered memory kairi living with namine during com and completely forgetting her former life and friends and can't recognize them when they find her, kairi winding up with her keyblade and clashing with sora over the better way to help riku who was missing his heart, sora not quite saving kairi in remind and being booted to quadratum leaving kairi kinda dead to haunt the narrative from the final world as a formless star and riku is the only one she can connect with, crossover verses- *scrambles to shove them back in my pocket* anywaYS I'm down for anything! Just hit me up! Or I'll hit you up.

"It’s Okay to Not Be Okay"

Ever had those days when your brain feels like a tangled mess of headphones? The kind where you’re smiling on the outside but screaming inside? Yeah, me too. Spoiler alert: you’re not alone, and *it’s okay.*

Let’s face it—life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes, it’s a stubborn Wi-Fi connection during your favorite show. And worse, it feels like no one around you can see the buffering.

We all go through rough patches—phases where even getting out of bed feels like conquering Mount Everest. And guess what? It’s totally normal. Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and sometimes, all we can do is take it one step (or one breath) at a time.

*Feel Low? That’s Cool Too.*

First, let’s clear the air: feeling low is not a crime. It’s your mind and body waving a tiny flag saying, “Hey, I need some TLC!” Instead of brushing it off, acknowledge it. Don’t shove those feelings under the carpet—they tend to turn into dust bunnies that trip you later.

Cry if you need to. Nap like you’re auditioning for a sleep marathon. Eat that tub of ice cream unapologetically. Sometimes, letting yourself feel the feels is the first step to healing.

*Find Joy in the Small Stuff*

Ever noticed how a random dog wagging its tail can make you smile? Or how the smell of rain feels like a hug from nature? These little things are life’s way of reminding us that happiness doesn’t have to come with a price tag.

Start small. A cup of chai, a 5-minute playlist dance, or even doodling nonsense—anything that makes your heart feel a tiny bit lighter counts.

*Chase What You Love*

Remember that hobby you loved but abandoned because “life got busy”? Go back to it. Paint like Picasso on a caffeine high, write poetry that makes no sense, or bake cookies that look questionable but taste like love.

Doing what you love is like hitting the reset button on your soul. It doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to make you happy.

*Choose Your People Wisely*

Be with people who light up your life like fairy lights. Whether it’s friends who send you memes at 2 AM or that one cousin who always knows how to cheer you up, stick with them.

Toxic relationships? Toss them out like expired yogurt. Your mental health deserves better.

*Talk It Out*

You don’t have to bottle it all up. Share your feelings. Call that friend who’s basically your unpaid therapist. Write a letter to yourself. Heck, rant to your pet—they won’t judge you (probably).

And if it feels like too much to handle, seek professional help. Therapy isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a toolkit for life.

*Go With the Flow*

At the end of the day, life is like a river—sometimes calm, sometimes bumpy, and sometimes dragging you through what feels like a mini waterfall. But hey, it keeps flowing, and so will you.

So, here’s to all of us navigating this wild, messy, and beautiful thing called life. It’s okay to not have it all figured out. Just take it one day at a time, find joy where you can, and never lose hope.

Oh, and don’t forget to laugh. If nothing else, life’s absurdity makes for great comedy.

✩ what is their go-to food when they want to have a treat together?

Ice cream. They each have their own preferred types of toppings and ice cream flavors, but they both love ice cream.

♡ who said i love you first?

Yumiko.

✧ how do they break the tension after a disagreement?

One will usually come up quietly near the other and try to make eye contact and if the other smiles, they know it's going to be okay.

◛ what is their preferred method of communication when apart?

Texting before the Outbreak. Letters after the Outbreak.

♥ how do they cuddle when they share a bed?

Magna usually spoons Yumiko from behind. Or they sleep back to back while holding hands.

✿ do their music tastes align? are there some things they clash on?

They do have some of the same artists that they like, but overall as a whole, they don't like the same overall type.

❀ what is the dumbest argument they’ve ever had?

It was after the Outbreak, that they were on a supply run while Connie and Kelly and Luke and the others stayed back behind to fortify their home for the next couple of days. Magna found a box of chocolate bars and Yumiko said they needed food items that would sustain them and chocolate wasn't it. Truth was, Yumiko was worried about not finding enough and sweets weren't on her list at all. So Magna wanting to put smiles on their friends' faces annoyed Yumiko. So they argued, but Magna took the chocolate bars anyway. And she had to beg Yumiko to share one with her because Yumiko felt ashamed for starting an argument with her over stupid chocolate.

✾ what kind of ‘couple talk’ have they developed? (baby talk, weird words or phrases that are an inside joke etc.)

They really don't have any couple talk. Sure, they have some inside jokes but those things don't have a place in their lives anymore.

᯽ how has your muse changed since their relationship? in what ways do they rub off on one another?

Yumiko has softened somewhat toward things she doesn't quite understand. Magna has softened to things that are important to Yumiko that she doesn't understand. So they compromise and meet in the middle most times they don't understand one another's desire to do something.

❉ what was the first quirk of the other’s which became endearing but annoying?

Yumiko found Magna's way of sulling up and giving her the silent treatment annoying, but in the end, it became something that made them who they were with how they interacted with one another.

❁ what moment made them realize they’re in love?

Yumiko knew the moment in the courtroom when Magna refused to take the stand that she was in love with her. She was a strong as steel woman, and Yumiko hadn't been this attracted to and enamored with anyone before in her entire life.

★ what foods do they swap or pick out of their food that the other will eat for them?

There's really nothing. They both have a pretty good palate and more so since they couldn't be picky anymore.

❥ what song(s) would they send each other when first beginning to date?

They didn't really send one another songs. Instead, they talked about the books they liked and wanted to share with the other.

◇ who likes to cook and who cleans? how do they generally divide domestic labor?

They take turns cooking and cleaning. When one cooks the meal, the other does the cleaning. The other stuff just happens naturally with what needs done gets done.

◉ what hobbies do they do together? if they prefer parallel play what sort of tasks and hobbies do they like to do in each other’s company?

They like to play trivia games. Stuff that really doesn't matter anymore now that the Outbreak has happened.

▣ what is their favorite color(s) to see the other in?

Yumiko likes to see Magna in darker shades of red. Magna likes to see Yumiko in black.

❖ how does their casual intimacy look? what part of the body do they tend to innocently/comfortingly caress?

Sitting on the couch reading books together. Yumiko usually has her back against the arm of the couch with Magna laying against her side/stomach. She has an arm slung around Yumiko's stomach usually caressing the soft skin she found on her side. Yumiko usually caresses the back of Magna's neck or shoulders.

◈ what was your muse’s first impression of the other? how did it change over time?

Yumiko felt that Magna was a strong and confident woman. Magna felt that Yumiko was confident and appreciated how she went to bat for her defendants. Over time, the first impressions proved to be correct.

New idea for a blog

New idea for a blog: circulation assistant who enjoys talking about the books she checks in and out every day. I have no idea if anyone would find my opinions of books interesting: I'm mainly writing for me. Last fall, after the library hired me, I began keeping a list of good-looking children's books for my mother, who says she's going to start reading books to little kids somewhere, as soon as she's settled into her new apartment. The list mushroomed right away.

Can I start a blog this way? I'd love to keep notes on the books I see every day. For instance, today someone returned Jenny and the Cat Club, a book my grandmother used to read to me. So dear to my heart, little black cat Jenny with her red scarf and silver ice skates, and her wonderful friends. I'm overjoyed that someone is still reading it!

Also, a really funny edition of Frankenstein: Frankenstein: Annotated for Scientists, Engineers, and Creators of All Kinds. Worrisome, isn't it, to think that someone seems to want to encourage scientists to...um...duplicate Frankenstein's research? Not sure if that is what is intended by the title.

Just read an adorable book called It Came in the Mail. Little boy loves getting mail, so he writes a letter to the mailbox asking it to send him things. The first thing that arrives is a dragon. All the art is letter/postcard art, with appropriate and adapted post office stamps: "oversize" on the elephant, and "pearishable" on a giant pear.

Every day I'm amazed at the dazzling and creative art used in children's books. Yesterday I read a sweet Native American myth, called The Girl Who Loved Horses, a Caldecott winner from 1978 by Paul Goble. His Native American-style art is colorful and gorgeous, and sweeps across the pages in a way that suggests wild mustangs in motion.

The popularity of graphic novels has freed both adult and children's book authors from the either/or of "text" or "picture book". I nabbed a book today that I'd like to read called Trial by Jury Journal. I opened it to find that the story is told by all kinds of print media - the usual paragraphs, letters, newspaper articles, etc. I love creative flights like this. It reminds me of that beautiful series of books done as letters and postcards: Nick Bantock's Griffin and Sabine romance. I love the zing I get when I can connect two authors and think, I wonder if the older book(s) had an influence on the newer ones? Did Bantock's books pave the way for others of this type?

Update on Trial by Jury Journal: Good but not great. Kids will probably appreciate the character name puns more than I did - over several pages it wears a little thin (e.g., Anna Conda, Rhett Tyle). Still, the narration style keeps switching, which both keeps it interesting and develops individual characters. However, I think she could've gone further with the character development. They're not flat, but they don't have a full three dimensions. Still love the pen-and-ink art, reminiscent of Joseph Schindelman's original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Lemony Snickett.

Then there's Kaz Windness's If Ur Stabby, about a psycho anti-unicorn. Definitely NOT for kids under 12. A nice old man handed me the book the other day because (I think) his granddaughter had pulled it off the (presumably) adult graphic novel shelf, and he thought it might not be for children. Which it is NOT. However, the dark (one might say sick) humor of a depressed unicorn depicted largely in black and white is pretty funny if you've had a little too much princess literature, or the Pinkalicious series, come across your desk.

Just did a deeper dive into Stabby, who is apparently a graduate of Mother Goth Rhymes, which I can't put on hold right now because I have too many other books out that are overdue. (Just can't get myself to read enough. Very frustrating.) Fascinating stuff, though - "Stabby the Unicorn" is a meme, and apparently a game - "Unstable Unicorns", which would be a great name for a band, don't you think? But the game - "a strategic card game that will destroy your friendships" - is a little to manga for my taste. Even though they're "unstable", they're too cute and marshmallowy. More on that some other time, I think. Stabby is not manga. Original artwork - lots of curly, swirly letters and piles of skulls.

On a more serious, but still dark, note, I saw a book today entitled The Midwife of Auschwitz. My first reaction was YOW, this sounds horribly depressing. I was intrigued enough to read the blurb on the back, and it depicts exactly the story you'd expect of the title. However, I expect it would be an interesting take on the Holocaust, if you're in the right frame of mind. It turns out that among the atrocities the Nazis committed at the camps, they took the most Aryan-looking babies and gave them to German couples wanting children. Just like the Irish nuns and the evil folks in Before We Were Yours did.

T and Y for the ask meme?

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)?

first ones that come to mind (not all of which can be classified as hard and fast, but these are the headcanons i will die defending):

Iceman Kazansky 1) grew up in California, 2) has a sister, 3) has known he was gay since he was a teenager, and 4) was raised Jewish but never had a bar mitzvah and only reconnected with his faith after his cancer diagnosis.

Maverick Mitchell 1) moved in with his mother's sister and her family after his mother died and has not spoken to any of them since he was seventeen, 2) had his queer awakening pre-canon, and 3) kept in touch with only a few people after the events of Top Gun: Ice, Slider (by proxy of staying close with Ice), Viper, and Sundown.

Coyote Machado 1) grew up in New Orleans, 2) is bisexual, 3) was Top Gun (Hangman took second place; the two of them were neck in neck all the way to the end), and 4) is conversationally fluent in Portuguese because his father grew up in São Tomé and Príncipe before eventually moving to Lisbon and then the United States, where he met Coyote's mother.

Hangman Seresin 1) is demisexual, 2) grew up in a very emotionally distant old money family (like old old money; his father's family made their fortune in railroads and real estate during the Industrial Revolution, and his mother is a Vanderbilt), 3) met Coyote in flight school and has been friends with him ever since, and 4) has amassed just enough emotional intelligence since leaving high society to know What he should say in a serious situation (ie. one that requires some sincerity and genuine human emotion) but not enough emotional intelligence to actually know How to say it.

Sam Obisanya and Dani Rojas are both bisexual and the youngest siblings in their family.

Billy Tyson has dated men before but kept it on the DL from everyone in the 126 because a) it wasn't their business and b) he didn't know how they would react.

Owen Strand is not a bad father and would die before he ever wore cargo shorts.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

9-1-1 (Fox), BTVS, The Rookie, Home Economics, The Sandman, Game of Thrones, Andor, New Girl, House of the Dragon, and Succession (though I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now).

send me a letter!

My Writing

I cycle sporadically between various WIPs, mostly about original characters. On the happy occasion I actually finish a story, I usually post it to my Pillowfort and AO3 and share links here.

Speaking of Pillowfort…

I can't recommend Pillowfort.social enough if you're in the market for an independent, user-funded, NSFW-welcoming social media site. They just came out with a rolling wait list a la AO3, but if you don't wanna wait, you can send me an ask off anon or message me for an account key. 🗝️

My Sideblogs

t-kiss is my sideblog project for tummy kink self-ship; check it out if that's your jam and maybe submit something for you and your F/Os!

unconventionalselfships is my personal t-kiss blog for gushing about my obscure F/Os.

unconventionalafterdark is where I put steamier content and real-life kink. (Basically it's a catch-all for anything that feels like "too much" for my main blog. 😅)

Current Projects (indexes coming soon!)

Whiskey And Ice Cream/WAIC: An ongoing series of self-indulgent stories centered around charming sugar daddy feeder Dustin, his adorable sugar baby-turned-boyfriend feedee Adam, and their glamorous feeder FWB Angel.

A Meeting of Minds/AMOM (WIP): A plotty kink series exploring my original urban fantasy universe and the queerplatonic found family that inhabits it. If you like the fantastic stories by @ginger-and-mint and @tiny-loves-rubs then this will be right up your alley.

The Tummy Date, aka Dirk & Vanessa (WIP): An experimental story of intentional kink that started out as a love letter to my favorite fic of the same name on StomachacheCafe (may it rest in peace). I love the OCs that came from it enough that I'll probably end up writing more for them. Set in the same universe as WAIC.

Wild Mountain Honey (WIP): More self-indulgent goodness centered around a bear shifter named Orson, the small mountain town he calls home, and his love interest Jia, a burnt out big city lawyer who's inexplicably attracted to Orson's big appetite. This is still in its early development stages, but the eventual goal is more or less kinky supernatural romance meets Hallmark movie. Set in the same universe as AMOM.

Kinky Blorbo Micro Manifestos

Ask me about any of these if you want exuberant infodumps and hyperspecific headcanons. Pretty much all of these have at least one back-burner plot bunny attached to them.

John Pope and Sara from Falling Skies: Pope is my blorbo to end all blorbos, the bright star on my horizon, my #1 t-kiss F/O. Sara is his kick-ass girlfriend, one of my favorite female characters ever, and someone I'm working up the courage to also make my t-kiss F/O. He's a trigger-happy berserker who's also a chef and eats more times on-camera than anyone else on the show, she's a plucky former graphic designer who asked him for Pringles at gunpoint—need I say more?

Nick Burkhardt and Sean Renard from Grimm (TV): The stars of the first kinky fanfic I ever felt brave enough to actually post online (which I will continue Someday™). I low-key ship them and Adalind in a kinky OT3. Sean x Cheesecake 4ever (based on an outtake that would've been memed in a larger fandom).

Pete Latimer and Myka Bering from Warehouse 13: This show is best known for its amazing and tragically non-canon femslash ship, Bering and Wells, but y'all, we are sleeping on Pete. He had as much kinky canon material (proportionally at least) as a certain gruff-voiced monster-hunter, right down to a signature favorite dessert, and he may have his flaws but his masculinity is a hell of a lot healthier overall. Meanwhile, Myka is a canonical stress eater with a canonical sweet tooth and a canonical best friend/partner (Pete) who's always trying to get her to relax. Pyka was queerplatonic and I will die on that hill.

Batman/Bruce Wayne and Catwoman/Selina Kyle from Batman: The Animated Series: I've had a long-time crush on TAS Batman, and tummying him is the inevitable result of that. It's practically canon that BatCat is some flavor of kinky, so Selina talking Bruce into self-care via feedism doesn't seem like much of a stretch to me. I'm also 100% down for kinky WonderBat and/or WonderBatCat.

The Leverage OT3 (Eliot Spencer, Alec Hardison, and Parker): I'm still working my way past season one, but I have already made it my life's sidequest to believably tummy these three in various ways. Eliot's a hobbyist chef in desperate need of R&R, Hardison's hacker snacking provides endless windows of opportunity, and Parker has a major sweet tooth and zero inhibitions.

Flip from Slumberland (2022): Y'all. Y'all. I am feral over this man. A goofy outlaw and reluctant father played by Jason Momoa with fangs and a clingy T-shirt who carries snacks in his pockets and spends half the movie touching his belly is illegally tailored to my interests. Also the movie was hilarious and adorable and gave me feels and you should watch it.

I know the meme says 'one thing about xyz' for each topic but i am making my own rules I'm just gonna go hog wild <3

Even muses I don't know the source material of, like Luka, I wind up REALLY liking!! I love all of them, they have a very lively feeling to them which i genuinely from the bottom of my heart LOVE, I LOVE watching them engage in other threads or on the dash even when its not involving myself, they feel so packed full of energy and sincerity all the damn time and you (and as a result Them) are SO fucking funny that it adds to it, especially in dash shit because I'll see you crack jokes like a motherfucker but it Still be in character and it's wild to me!!!! it's almost magical!

[partiallyderived]

hi dor,

this is ur long awaited mood board. it got a bit sparse cuz i have no idea what else to put but ill update it in the future and send it to u again. im kind of speaking as if im talking to other people but here is my explanation.

first off, on the top left corner (at least on my screen) is a shining star because although dor only has one official published work (that i know of so far), i already think that she is an amazing writer and im excited to see her write more pieces. she's a star waiting to be born.

on the top of the roof is a pair of headphones because that it is the emoji representation i have for her in my tags. it was inspired by her pfp (i think it's still the same when i first interacted with her) and im sure she has great music taste.

in the next level, i have an envelope with a heart because her blog is a love letter to park hanbin (though im pretty sure kum junhyeon was included but maybe my tumblr is broken) but the poems she shared to me and translated so just so...no words. im speechless.

as i wrote before, dor is an amazing writer so i have a maxwriter pen (this is also a nod to her junhyeon fic). next, we have a picture of park hanbin because...i think she said this was her favourite picture (or it's the one where he wore the collar shirt). anyways, i like this picture because to me, it represents dor and when i see her. she's very bright (as in smart and cheerful), she's beautiful inside and out and her writing is just *chef's kiss* just like this photo.

i also think she's sweet so i put a picture of mint chocolate ice cream because (1) park hanbin likes mint chocolate chip ice cream (2) she says she's neutral on ice cream flavours sooo...

next, we have the hug emoji (?). oftentimes, i complain to her on how my current phanbin series is flopping so badly and am hoping it's because my ideas and writing is bad but dor tells me i write super well (im thinking maybe my writing style is not just everyone's cup of tea and park hanbin isn't popular yet 💪) and my writing feeds her delusions soo im soo happy and it keeps me going. so i guess that's why i have the hearts too 💙

as i wrote before, dor is smart and she has very creative ideas (she shared me some of her story ideas) and they're soo cool. im excited for her to publish her future works. she also gives me great ideas and is why u will see me pumping more phanbin fics in the future (hence the puzzle piece cuz she helps complete my thoughts).

idk if i said this cuz this is getting longer than expected but we write phanbin fics in our chats but we also talk about other things and i feel like i could talk to her all day if it was possible.

lastly, the spiderman meme cuz even though she accuses me of being an enabler, she also enables me and is why i can write as much as i do for park hanbin.

omg moniiiii!!!!! i saw this so late, i'm so sorry. but this is gorgeous (insert crying emojis because i'm not on mobile). the way you put so much thought behind each image, and your attention to detail makes my heart go all mushy. i love it.

jarvis: yes, i believe i am what the youth call “valid”, sir.
