Summary: Wizards are weak and sensitive, poor things… Molly enjoys working Caleb up.

A/N: a short little something with a pinch of spice

Words: 640

…

Taking hold of Caleb’s ankle to spread his legs apart, Molly looked surprised when the wizard went still, tensing. He looked up to find a goofy, anxious grin, one that seemed odd for Caleb to be wearing alongside a blush.

“What is it?” Molly asked, his tone soothing.

“S-Sorry, I just—” Caleb laughed and it was the sweetest sound. “I thought for a second you were about to tickle me..”

“Oh?” A sly smirk overtook Mollymauk’s features. “And what if I did?”

Caleb’s blush grew. “I-I’ve just fucked myself, haven’t I…”

He looked delicious, like a nervous little rabbit. “Well no one’s fucking themselves tonight that’s for sure.” Molly winked.

He took the ankle in his hand, taking his time to examine the foot before him. He leaned in close and placed a gentle kiss to the tip of the human’s toes. “And as much as I’d love to—and I will—tug on the love-ly thread you’ve just laid out for me… I have something else on my mind right now.” He kissed again, just under the toes. “So giving you a good and thorough tickle will have to wait.”

Caleb let out a nervous little laugh.

Molly continued. “You know, I prefer my lovers sensitive, really.” He kissed at the ball of Caleb’s foot. A wobbly grin grew further on Caleb’s face at the delicate sensation of another kiss from Molly—and it only increased as more kisses followed, trailing down the bottom of his foot, around the inside of his ankle, and up the side of his shin. “Much easier to… work them up.” He kissed up to Caleb’s knee, crawling his way slowly along and up the man’s body. “Many more erogenous zones.”

Caleb twitched as lips brushed along the skin of his thigh and up to the last meager layer of clothing he had yet to shed. A shivering tension built in Caleb’s frame and radiated out through his limbs — it was like a small injection of lightning and warmth at the press of each kiss, at every tingling spot Molly’s purple skin met his own.

Mollymauk nuzzled briefly into Caleb’s inner thigh and he squirmed delightfully. Molly could feel the heat and pressure coming off the space where his thighs met, raising the flimsy fabric from where it usually fell. Caleb let out a small gasp, his head falling back against the mattress as Mollymauk kissed right at that spot, gentle as ever. The wizard’s eyes fell closed and he twitched his hips forward for more when Molly pulled away, only to return with a kiss to the waistband of his undergarments. Caleb whined. Molly simply continued, kissing along his stomach, which twitched each time he came back in to pepper another kiss. The kisses trailed higher as Molly enjoyed his exploration of Caleb — he liked to take his time. And, it was obvious Caleb was growing more worked up and more sensitive—not to mention desperate—by the moment.

When he made it up to Caleb’s nipple, he caught it in his teeth for a moment, then continued on in his path of kisses. Caleb bit his lip when Molly made his way over his collarbone and up onto the side of his neck. Molly nuzzled in, kissing gently.

Caleb giggled sweetly, and Mollymauk pulled back to look at him. “Next time, I’ll use a little tongue, hm?” He waggled his eyebrows with a grin.

Caleb shivered at the thought, a wide smile still on his face as Molly returned to trailing kisses back down, toward the straining warmth between his legs.

This time around, Molly’s hands tucked into the waistband, and Caleb flinched for a split second at the contact —sensitive indeed. He tugged the material downward slowly as his lips kissed their way down the trail of hair beneath Caleb’s bellybutton.

Tav after accepting the Astral tadpole at the beginning of Act 3: hey Astarion you should eat the worm

Astarion: what the fuck. why the fuck would you suggest that to me. I suffered in agony for days against my will as my mortal shell was twisted into the rotting vampiric corpse that I inhabit now. nothing in my life has ever been my choice. I am making the conscious decision to never alter my body again. and really, fuck you for asking me of all people to eat the worm. go fuck yourself.

Tav 2 seconds later: hey Gale you should eat the worm

Gale: you're totally right, I should eat the worm

i think simon does end up physically back to where he started, mostly because i really want to explore the idea of simon emotionally hurting himself by trying to draw a line between himself and ice king. because the thing is that even if hes physically back to normal, he still is mentally afflicted by the remains of magic insanity and all the memories of those 900 years. hes extremely forgetful. he loses his temper more easily than before, or will start crying for reasons beyond his understanding. his physical coordination isnt as good as it was before. he feels godawful when magic queen puts the daily checklist back on the wall, because hes normal now, why cant he just remember to eat every morning? why is he getting lost 2 blocks away from his own home? why is he losing his temper over incredibly mild things?

its about the internalized hatred for himself. cutting a piece of his own identity away because hes not as well as he once was. he was ice king for longer than he was simon, but he doesnt want to acknowledge that it is part of his history and identity. itd be easier if ice king was a stranger who took control of his body for a while.

and he really needs to come to terms with the fact that he IS ice king, ice king IS him, just a different phase of his life, because pushing that fact away is only hindering his recovery.

every sith can be categorized as either "space wizard" or "military larper" without exception. you can make arguments in favor of this or that sith dual-track drifting but everyone qualifies for at least one

Hello, fellow wizards! Entirely hypothetical question, what do you do if you accidentally spill a wizard potion (not an elixir) and now your (WIZARD SPELL) workshop is slowly turning into gold.

asking for a friend. who is not me

[jacqcrisis]

you look like you just threw a massive tantrum and nearly set my half-dead wizard on fire but that's not a dialogue option so we are going with number 1.

[lopposting]

about the wizard of oz sequel

I have no idea how they're going to handle it.

I know that, almost definitely, they will be basing it off the public domain book, and not the movie. but the production of the movie was very infamously a nightmare. And I think it's going to be very difficult to not acknowledge the movie at all.

[They've already implicitly referenced the movie with the ruby slippers, which do not appear in the book]

TW sensitive IRL content under cut, at your discretion.

the original actor for the Tin man was hospitalized from poisoning from the silver dust used for the costume

the "snow" in the movie is just pure asbestos (actors died of cancer later in life)

Margaret Hamilton (Wicked witch) was severely burned (2nd-3rd degree) when a trap door failed to open on time and the flames went up during filming. She never sued because it would ruin her career. (Ironically she was also the only cast member Judy would say was ever kind to her on set)

16 year old Judy Garland (Dorothy) was pretty much tortured on set and it deeply affected the rest of her life. She will never ever be forgotten.

I didn't go into a lot of detail here. I hope they can honour her in some way. I totally don't think it's their responsibility to or anything, but I'm just expecting it to happen in some way. Even just listening to the song now and knowing some of what was happening in reality is extremely sad. It's surreal.

Hi, I am person that is hsp (highly sensitive person) I love playing magic the gathering. I go to prerelease to have fun and to socialize. However I come to the point that I don’t want to go because I have had so many bad experiences with extremely aggressive competitive players that it doesn’t make the game enjoyable at all for me. If there are other neurodivergent or hsp people out there that deal with this how do you handle this? Or if there are people afraid to of this situation occurring? I left today crying because I ran into a player that really gave me a really bad experiences I was scared to have this same experience today if I got matched up with them again.

[goodgirlgonebard]

I always thought my first bad ao3 comment would be about how I write ascended astarion but no it was about *checks notes* my mage being portrayed as physically weak ?

[dualitysdownfall]

[mambo-by-a-mile]

🤜 (oh Mambo’s not affectionate? That’s a shame. Anyway- lmao)

'Hey!'

Mambo squirmed in the sender's grasp as his head was whisked off his head, purple tufts of fur exposed. Next thing he knew a fist was ruffling it in harsh circles.

'Knock it off, will ya?' Mambo complained to no avail, pathetically trying to pry the much stronger and larger hand than his own away. 'I just groomed this fur...last month!'

'And warn a guy before ya start roughin' up his skull, huh?'

Mambo continued to squirm helplessly in the sender's grasp.

Warning: OLD POST (will be replaced by a new one) Vampires (Midnight’s Pack)

Warning: This article may include heavier topics (blood, death, animosity between magical species, mentions of slavery etc.) - consider it before you continue.

Overview:

Overlords of the night and one of the most prominent beings in the world of “Midnight’s Pack”. Alongside magic-sensitive people, vampires are the oldest of all magical species in the world, resulting in vampires being mostly cold or even repulsive towards anyone they don't see as worthy of their good will.

Biology:

Vampires are almost human-looking beings, usually considered attractive and beautiful/handsome by the community.

Due to their lower body temperature, their skin has an “unhealthily” pale shade (which applies to dark-skinned ones, as well - their skin is dark yet yet with seemingly unhealthy shade) and their touch can be viewed as uncomfortably cold. They are more resistant to warm temperatures but they can easily get too cold, which is also the reason why you can spot vampires wearing significantly warmer clothes during cold days.

The most significant differences between them and normal humans are definitely big, sharp fangs (fun fact: most of vampires have only one pair of fangs but in rare occasions, the vampire can be born with two pairs of fangs - one pair in upper jaw, the other in the lower jaw) and eyes.

Speaking of the eyes, vampires are naturally born with blue irises (this also applies to dark-skinned ones) but they can change color depending on nutrition (we'll talk about the reason later).

A vampiric stomach is also very different from a human's: their organ is separated into two parts and one of them works almost the same as a human's stomach, the other accepts only the nutrition they receive from blood. Also, this side is significantly bigger, meaning that vampires technically don't need to eat normal food, although they do it to both avoid being too thin and to smell the taste of dishes.

Aging:

In the world of “Midnight’s Pack”, vampires aren't immortal like in most media, though they can live over the age of 1,000. Actually, they're aging for 30 years like humans and then the process gets significantly slower, which puts them into the "long-living magical species" category.

Abilities:

Despite being two oldest magical species, vampires and magic-sensitive people hold different magical abilities, although some of their powers might have almost or 100% the same result.

The most significant abilities include shapeshift into a bat, mist form, object/being levitation, mind control and mind reading (can be used only on non-vampires), super strength and speed, better healing, etc.

Compared to magic-sensitive people, vampires use their powers only non-verbally, as they’re mostly tight up to their will. Magic-sensitive people have to learn how to cast spells non-verbally and because it's difficult, there's only a few of them who can do so.

Unlike in most media, vampires in Midnight’s Pack can't turn humans into new vampires with their bite - and even if they were able to, vampires wouldn't do so, as most of them see humans as something even worse than other magical species.

Weaknesses:

Sunlight isn't fatal for vampires in Midnight’s Pack, however they can feel very dizzy without wearing a hat and without a suncream or an umbrella, some of them can even get an allergic reaction on their skin - it looks like a red rash that's itchy and hot, sometimes even painful at touch.

Their eyes are also pretty sensitive to sunlight, so most of the vampires wear sunglasses outside during the day. Without them, their eyes would become watery in reaction to irritation.

Garlic is something vampires are very afraid of, mainly because it causes even worse allergic reactions to their bodies than sunlight, so they avoid it as much as they can. This vegetable not only makes their throats swollen, but they can also irritate their stomach, resulting in a long time of vomiting.

In the worst case, they can get poisoned and… die.

And lastly, silver is the only metal that can hurt or kill all magical species and magical animals from Midnight’s Pack universe, for sure.

Nutrition & “Moonlight fangsberry”:

It was already mentioned that vampires have a very specific stomach with two parts: one that accepts normal food and one that only gets nutrition from blood. Also, the second-mentioned side is bigger, which results in vampires eating normal food only to avoid being too thin and to smell the taste of dishes.

Like in most media, vampires from the universe of Midnight’s Pack can drink blood to get the needed nutritions, however the law of the world has strict rules:

For example vampires can't just go and directly drink blood from somebody’s neck. Instead, they have to go and buy it from the hospitals.

Also, there are the rules about how many packs of blood vampires can buy, as blood might be needed elsewhere.

And of course, vampires can't buy too rare blood types.

Earlier in this chapter, it was stated that in Midnight’s Pack, the eyes of the vampires are naturally blue but can change to purplish blue, purple or even red through time. This is affected by hemoglobin, more specifically by iron that's in it (iron can become red in reaction with oxygen), as this protein can get in a vampire's body and change the colors of their irises.

However, there are still vampires, even adult ones, with clearly light blue eyes. These individuals decided not to drink blood, either because they feel guilty for drinking blood, because they hematophobic/hemophobic or because they just don't want to.

In these cases, there's a plant that's an alternative food for vampires in the world of Midnight's pack.

Moonlight fangsberry, what’s the plant called, is a unique fauna from the universe. A bush with a black wood, dark green leafs, white petals and big berries (about 15 centimeters long but can grow bigger). It's not only pretty unpretentious with the ability to adjust to almost every climate (although the plant was first found in the mountains), it's also 100% edible.

As M. fangsberry has the same nutritions as blood and the only thing that's missing is hemoglobin with its iron, it can't change vampire’s irises.

The plant itself has no specific smell or taste, so it’s usable in both salty and sweet dishes, or even in drinks.

Products made from M. fangsberry, for example crackers, bonbons, teas, lemonades, champagnes, etc. can be found both in the supermarkets or in small shops with stuff only for vampires.

Lifestyle:

Most vampires are wealthy, aristocratic descendants who own great mansions (each family even often owns more than 1 mansion) and a great number of known companies and factories.

As it was mentioned at the start of this article, a lot of vampires act cold, sometimes even repulsive towards anyone they don't see as worthy of their good will, which is almost every other species. Unfortunately, these opinions aren't just a thing older vampires believe in - actually, young vampires often share the negative view of different species and they might even be worse, as they usually struggle with keeping a permanent poker face and a neutral demeanor.

This is mostly affected by the fact that vampires from wealthy families are educated at home until the age of 15, then they're sent to private high schools - Diaemus Academy is known to be the most prestigious, as well as the most expensive vampire school in the world. Although their education is overall on a high level, there are still stereotypical thoughts of other species the teachers unintentionally or purposely spread, resulting in feeding these lies even more.

And it doesn't help that a lot of the vampires introduce these thoughts to their children when they're still little.

Most vampires meet other species at universities (which are only public in this world) for the first time but because they're mostly “brainwashed” from home and earlier education, about 95% of them is unable to form at least a neutral relationship with other species - the only exception are, of course, magic-sensitive people, because vampires consider them as equal to each other. This is affected by the fact a lot of scientists who developed important products for vampires, for example sun-protecting creams, were magic-sensitive people.

The biggest animosity mostly stays between vampires and werewolves - in the past, especially during medieval times, werewolves often worked as slaves or poorly-paid servants of the most wealthiest vampire families and even if the laws about same rights for everyone came, vampires still look down at the lycanthropes, mainly because of how unpredictable, wild and destructive they can become.

Werewolves also keep negative opinions of vampires, so it’s almost impossible to see friends or even multi-species couples.

If there are any positive, vampire-werewolf relationships, they are mostly between werewolves and middle-class vampire families (these families aren't common but they're not the rarest, either).

Trivia:

Vampires have a light liquid instead of blood - this means periods/menstrual cycles are a thing in vampires’ life, as well.

Vampires mostly wear dark clothes (black, dark purple, magenta, dark green, etc.), especially those from wealthy families - it's something they were wearing even in the ancient and medieval times. In the past, it was mostly because vampires were originally a nocturnal species and they didn't want to be spotted in the dark. Nowadays, it's mostly just a style and/or a “rule”.

Vampires celebrate national holidays, although in a very tamed way, and then specific events of their offsprings they consider “important and worthy of a great celebration”. Among these are for example birth, enrolling in a private high school, graduation, legal adulthood and marriage.

There are often multi-generational households among vampires - the most significant example of this are the Desrosiers.

Vampires’ eyes glow in the dark - they can also turn light pink (when they're shy/nervous in a romantic way) or black with white irises (when they're starving). These colors aren’t connected to their nutrition.

Wealthy vampires still sometimes have servants, including werewolf ones - even if they still don't like them as a species, vampires pay them well and don't actively treat them as sh*t (there are exceptions but not many - in these cases, werewolves usually just voluntarily quit the job).

One of the most significant werewolf servants in my story is a chef of the Desrosiers family, Roxanne Cantellow - she is a elder lady who has been working for Dorian for a long time. She took care of Ronan and Sorren (Dorian's sons) when they were little and she also wanted to help raise Valerian (Sorren's older son) - Val himself didn't want to, however. Roxy currently still takes care of Liam (she serves as a grandmother role to him, even) and even if Dorian constantly pisses her off (he's pretty bossy and arrogant), she's used to him and doesn't want to leave just because “His highness doesn't know what a proper behavior is but always commands people around him to be proper themselves”... And she's also grateful to Dorian's deceased wife Adriana for the job she gave her (the two of them surprisingly had a friendly relationship, despite Adriana being a very wealthy vampire and Roxy being “only” a werewolf chef).

By the way, Dorian is very aware he needs Roxanne - she can cook (Rosine can, too but she's mostly busy), does laundry, because she's most likely the most patient with him out of all members of the household, etc. ... he's secretly grateful for her being around, and not only due to her positive bond with Adriana.
