You’ve gotten good at getting a sense for these sorts of things. A feeling in your chest, a twist in your gut, a sixth sense, if you will. You think you’d prefer your sixth sense to be seeing ghosts, rather than sensing when creepy men are going to approach you.
You just wanted a drink. It had been a long fucking day at work and you just wanted a drink without worrying about actually talking to people. That was why you sat at the end of the bar.
Maybe you should have just bought a bottle of wine on the way home. Your sixth sense had told you that going into the bar was a bad idea. At least then this guy wouldn’t be talking to you.
He was attractive at least, but you couldn’t be in less of a mood and he was practically sitting on top of you.
“Rough day?” he asked.
Your eye nearly twitched. “Something like that.”
“Yeah,” he scoffed. “I can tell.”
And he was rude. Cherry on top.
You rolled your eyes and shot him a glare, your lip curling slightly into a snarl. “Yeah,” you mimic. “You don’t look too hot either, asshole.”
Cash is handed to the bartender and you reach for your bag. He beats you to it, gripping the strap in an iron hold. Indignation rises. Part of you wants to wrestle it back, but the other part knows you’d just end up embarrassing yourself.
“We got off on the wrong foot,” he begins. “I’m Johnny��“
“I’m not interested. Bag. Now.”
You hold your hand out, but something tells you he’s not the type to listen.
That feeling is confirmed when he laughs. Yet another cherry on top.
“How about this; I buy you a drink and you get your bag back after?”
There’s a beat of silence where you nearly laugh. Was he serious? You’re about to ask him when he’s suddenly ordering for you and holding your bag in his lap.
You had to bargain with your tired mind, telling yourself that you were getting a free drink out of this. Frustrated, yet resigned, you sit back down.
He grins at you and your sixth sense prickles the back of your neck.
Johnny was good at talking and part of you almost felt bad. He seemed lonely. You were certain only a lonely, mildly insane person would steal a purse and buy the purse owner a drink just to have someone to talk to.
But you were lonely too. Only a lonely, mildly insane person would let him buy more drinks after getting their purse back.
You barely noticed the hand on your thigh. By the time you did, he was right in your face.
“Bonnie thing, aren’t you?” he purred.
That’s how you ended up getting tugged back to his apartment. He kept an arm around your waist and your bag in his hand the entire walk. Right outside the door, when his hand was on the doorknob, you realized how bad of an idea this was.
One night stands weren’t exactly your thing, especially not on a weeknight. You had a little bit of dignity, after all.
Plus, your sixth sense practically vibrated in your chest to tell you to turn and run. But suddenly the door was open and he was pushing you inside.
The door shut and locked behind you both, and suddenly you were standing in front of a wall of a man. Your throat tightened when you felt Johnny’s arms around your waist, trapping you in place.
“What’d you think, LT?” Johnny asked, squeezing you tighter.
He sounded so eager, so hopefully.
You stared up at the man in front of you. He looked…bored? Almost uninterested. Similar to a wolf who caught a meal too easily.
Despite being tipsy on the walk from the bar to here, you were suddenly stone cold sober and frozen in place.
A massive hand gripped your jaw, tilting your head up. A calloused thumb brushed over your bottom lip, yet you couldn’t find it in yourself to scream. Only tremble as Johnny rubbed a stubbly cheek against your soft one.
“This the one you told me ‘bout?” the enormous man asked.
Something hard pressed against the fat of your ass as Johnny smiled. “Yeah, the one from the train,” he preened, clearly proud of himself. “Can we keep her?”
Maybe you should have just bought a bottle of wine on the way home.

⌗ wc. 5.7k (...)
°A/N. . . hiya you guys!! this one acc wasn't requested but based off a dream i had lol. this is my first seventeen fic in a while (which is funny bc my first ever fic was about wonwoo) so i hope you guys like it :'-)
Tumblr media
being wonwoo’s boyfriend meant passion and dedication were the new central traits of your life.
if there was one thing jeong wonwoo did, it was love deeply. he also held himself to high standards and had extensive expectations - as any self respecting individual would. however, holding you to those same standards as his lover did have a tendency to be overbearing from time to time. long story short, it inevitably lead to arguments becoming less than foreign within your relationship.
he was constantly trying to be his best for you, and expected 200% from you in return. it wasn't unreasonable whatsoever, but it became pretty clear that each of your views on just how putting forth that much effort looked were different, leading to inevitable frustration bubbling inside both of you.
and of course, in some semi-toxic way, that very frustration lead to fucking.
the last thing wonwoo could ever bring himself to do was hurt you, neither physically or verbally, despite how upset he would get. same could be said for you - so it was only natural when the flames of anger that ignited in you were transformed into embers of pure, raw sex in heated attempts to release the tension.
it quickly became your go to method.
countless times has wonwoo come home in the middle of week old arguments, and you don’t even speak as much as a word to one another before his lips are on yours. not much has to be said before those ridiculously soft lips of his are passionately sucking the life- and any fight you had left- out of you. both of your frustrations were palpable in the way you’d bite his lips, the way his enormous hands would bruise your hips— the way he'd tossed you around like you deserved the dull pain that came with being slammed against the wall or folded over a solid surface.
at some point, you had come to terms that this was not the proper way to settle your disagreements; realizing you were both just bottling up the negativity that would surely explode one day. but shit, it was hard to change your ways when your boyfriend was so fucking hot and dealt with you in a way that left you so physically satisfied.
you’d be lying if you said the thought of wonwoo’s indignant demeanor didn’t make your cheeks warm, his tongue always putting in extra effort to turn your mind into mush. you know he'd never harm you, but you actually liked when he made it hurt a little during sex - as if you were being punished.
something you would never admit is that there were a few times you had pissed him off on purpose, just so he would strip you down and have his way with you right then and there. there was one time where his unnaturally talented mouth toyed with you damn near all day by denying your climax, despite pushing you to the edge several times. cloud 9 was hardly an accurate description of how you felt when wonwoo finally let you release in his mouth, or over his naked chest, or even in his big hands— you get the point.
but, it was time for change. healthy change.
you were pleasantly surprised when wonwoo joined you in your research of couple therapy-esque exercises to practice. you were dedicated to finding a way to help two of you actually resolve things and understand each other instead of just fucking them away. you could have actually attended a couple's therapist, but who seriously had the time for that when you could find all of the tips they’d tell you online for free anyways?
after a few days of web browsing, you came across a method that seemed reasonable and had a decently high success rate. all it entailed was simply having a quick, 10-minute discussion whenever one of you came home for the day. the trendy blogger who posted the article coined this routine as the "at home unwind". the key of the conversation was to offer both of you time to decompress and actually hear about the other's day and emotions before discussing anything negative... or doing anything physical.
the cyber therapist explicitly mentioned that was the most important thing to avoid.
oddly enough, it reassured you that this issue was common enough for others to experience, feeling like this method of practice nailed you and wonwoo’s biggest issue directly on the head. however, as pitiful as it sounded, you weren’t sure how confident you were in either of your abilities to talk for 10 minutes straight while keeping your hands to yourself.
these days, it felt like arguing and fucking were the only channels of communication for you two. it was terrible, you know, but wonwoo had a slick mouth and a huge cock - pair those with your stubborn attitude and the equation practically works itself out. during especially argumentative days, it was only a matter of time before one of you pounced on the other. still, wonwoo was fully on board to take on this new challenge and you were thankful for that.
the first four or so sessions went magnificently. you had actually begun to talk to wonwoo every evening and started to get a better look on his daily work life, and the kinds of things he dealt with and how certain things lifted his mood or took a toll on him. it made you remember how much you loved talking to your boyfriend. he was deep, sentimental, and had some of the most intriguing insight you’ve ever heard from anybody.
maybe the internet wasn't always full of shit, since this diy therapy was clearly helping steer your relationship towards a better place. you were starting to get a really good feeling about this whole thing.
Tumblr media
and then the next argument came.
god, you could hardly remember what even sparked the fight this time. perhaps it was something about house chores, or you staying out too late with your friends – all you could confidently remember was getting pissed off from the accusatory tone in his voice.
before you knew it, you were exchanging petty back and forths throughout the day, and slamming doors just a little too loudly. admittedly, you did want to fuck him as you fell back into your old habits. hearing wonwoo's rude remarks would make your ears steam with annoyance, but you also recognized the familiar look in his eyes that would only show face when he wanted to stuff you full with that fat cock of his until you were whimpering apologies for being an asshole. deep down, you wanted him to make you.
but alas, you kept to yourselves. you tried to rely on your new little therapeutic routine, but even those talks would end in exasperation and headaches. within a day or two, you started to ween off the unwinding technique, cutting the conversation short as soon as one of you caught an attitude. something inside you couldn't have cared in the slightest, and you were sure he didn't either. it wasn't until things escalated a bit further than they usually did one night that caused wonwoo to worry.
the screaming match was your fault, knowing full well that you were the hypocrite for fussing at him the minute he came home from a late night out with his buddies. you were the usual culprit when it came to staying out well into the hours of the night without so much as a text to wonwoo. but you were already irritated and irrational, so you decided to take it out on him.
"you're a fucking asshole, y/n." was the last thing wonwoo had muttered before going into your shared room and forcing the door shut, the wooden echo sounding throughout the apartment.
you barely managed a half-hearted "fuck you" in return, feeling a pang of guilt in your stomach from the aggravation you heard in his voice. still, you stubbornly held your ground, taking to sleep on the couch that night.
you were still asleep, sprawled on the cushions as wonwoo went to work the next morning. he had glanced at your sleeping figure on the way out, debating whether to wake you up or not. he ultimately decided against it as he wordlessly left and let his bitchy boyfriend sleep.
when you did awake, you had resulted to brooding under the blankets all day. you sighed, annoyed at your heavy conscious stirring within you as you knew it should you who apologizes first.
as thick skulled as you were, you did manage to pick up your phone in order to text wonwoo. but before you got the chance to get typing, you were met with a familiar ping.
wonu 🐈‍⬛: make sure you're home when i get off. we haven't done our 10 in a couple days.
you knew he was talking about the at home unwind, which you two had been skipping due to the heat of the atmosphere at home. despite how it may seem through your eyes, wonwoo couldn't stand arguing with you - especially to this extent.
all he could think about during his busy workday was how you were most definitely sulking at home, alone. and of course, he was right. he was always right when it came to you. you never reached out to others when you were frustrated, not even him, which only bothered him more. on the other hand, he also couldn't shake the image of you bundled up in his clothes.
you always loved to borrow and wear his things, no matter how mad at him you got, with those gut-wrenchingly attractive lips of yours plumped up into a pout. the things he wanted that mouth of yours, so attitudinal but so supple, to do him during times like this.
wonwoo released a hushed, deep groan as he pinched the bridge of his nose, realizing he was straining his office pants.
you sighed, reading the text over once more but not bothering to respond. everything you had to say you might as well save for the exercise.
Tumblr media
you felt wonwoo's presence before you heard it. he walked through the door quietly, causing your head to peak around the corner from your room as he shrugged off his jacket and set his things down.
he had went to the gym after work, as he usually does, his attire changed from his plain button up and slacks to loose sweats and that one white tee that tightly hugged his chiseled torso.
one look up to you had your breath catching in your throat, his eye contact intense as he held it while slipping his shoes off. you had no clue what to say when his long legs carried himself over to the couch you had spent most of the day grumbling to yourself on. taking a seat, wonwoo spread his legs comfortably while patting his thigh, keeping his gaze downcast.
you felt small, as if you were a child being beckoned over. nonetheless you obeyed, walking over to him and shyly climbing into his lap.
the air was stiff as you awkwardly tried to get comfortable, wonwoo's hands taking over to shift your legs so that you straddled him. you avoided looking at his gorgeous, clearly vexed face as your knees caged around his waist. you sat like that in silence for what felt like eternity, the warmth of his body taking over yours as you watched his buff chest rise and fall under the constraints of his t-shirt. you were suddenly painfully aware of how long it had been since you'd been this close within his proximity.
on the days you didn't fight, you were always all over your massive boyfriend. you were addicted to the feeling of his larger form and smooth skin against yours. even now, despite the tension in the air, you could physically feel yourself relaxing from being atop of him like this.
"you know you really pissed me off last night."
of course that's the first thing that comes out of his mouth. you felt your blood spike immediately, eyes shooting up to him as he stared at you with such a lack of expression it seemed almost smug.
"but you-" you started, ready to fire back, but caught yourself. "forget it. i thought you wanted to do the unwind."
"i do." he responded calmly, slowly sliding his hands up your thighs and meeting behind your back. you ignored the motion, sporting that exact pout that he loved so fucking much.
"then we need to follow the steps." you chided back, trying to remember the order of the prompts. the first one was simple. "so... how was work? anything weigh you down at all?"
it was awkward trying to ask the questions with a genuine tone, knowing how pissed you both still were.
"honestly, i couldn't stop thinking about how much i wanted to fuck you all day."
your gasp was involuntary, eyes shooting back to his in disbelief. this time that signature smirk of his stretched loosely on his face, signaling that you gave him the exact reaction he was looking for. before you could interject he kept going, that deep voice of his dropping an octave.
"had me thinking about how much of a bitch you were last night, and how i should've just stayed home today to make sure i knocked it right out of you." you felt his grip on your ass tighten with his words.
"w-wonwoo..." you tried to speak up, your fidgeting giving away your growing nerves. "whatever you're doing-"
"god, you had me bricked up in the middle of a fucking meeting, y/n. you like doing that to me don't you? you just have to go and get me so riled up so that the only thing i can think about the next few days is feeling you shaking under me, hm?"
there were very few times you've been rendered speechless, yet this was undoubtedly one of them. your skin had managed to catch on fire in the matter of seconds from the way he was speaking to you alone, your body instinctually reacting to him. you now understood in full wonwoo's aforementioned struggle of straining his pants at work, since you were feeling the very same thing happen to your boxers now.
your own erection started to grow while you envisioned wonwoo's words, and you suddenly felt a twitch under you. a quiet moan escaped you when you looked down to see wonwoo's familiar bulge for yourself, proudly prodding through his sweats.
his smirk had grown even wider when you looked back up to him, lust pooling in your eyes as he ran his tongue lazily over his pristine teeth. that grin was so teasing that you didn't know if you wanted to punch or kiss it off.
you decided on the latter.
everything moved so quickly as your frustration boiled past your breaking point, causing you to lurch forward and claim wonwoo's mouth against your own. you held back a whimper feeling his plush lips against yours for the first time in what felt like years. it had only been a couple days, but with wonwoo sometimes hours felt like a lifetime.
you allow your head to grow fuzzy as your boyfriend presses deeper against you, scooting your body further up his thighs so that he can taste even more of you in one go. this time a pathetic moan did fall from you as wonwoo's hot tongue slipped into your mouth, and he eagerly swallowed the sound. your hands grew a mind of their own as they tangled in his soft, jet black strands.
wonwoo greedily ground your hips against his, making sure you felt his hardened length glide against yours before he sat you directly on top of it, causing you to instinctively clench around nothing. the sound of wonwoo's plump lips smacking against yours caused him to groan, a chilling shock shooting down your spine once he started sucking on your tongue.
when you were running out of air, wonwoo pulled away to hear you whimper aloud while his hungry lips attached to your jaw, slowly kissing his way down your neck.
"wonu," you groaned, grabbing onto his wide shoulders while bucking your hips forwards again. you swore you could feel his abs through his shirt. you called his name a second time, trying to stabilize your voice to get his attention.
he hummed in acknowledgment without stopping his ministrations, sucking leisurely just above your weak spot. you whimpered once more and reluctantly push against his shoulders to detach him from your neck, breathing heavily as his blown out eyes assessed you.
you felt like prey under his narrow glare, desire and anger somehow coexisting his dark eyes. you wanted nothing more than to let him devour you, but you could hear that faint voice of reason in the back of your head telling you not to resort to your old ways. you wanted to listen while you could at least still recognize it.
"the exercise..." you sighed, "we have to finish."
your hands wander all over each other as you try to pace your breathing and calm down, the tension in the room palpable. wonwoo nods at your suggestion, closing his eyes to stretch his neck side to side. something only jeon wonwoo could make look that sexy.
"okay, so how was your day?" he mutters before leaning back in, lips gently pressing directly your neck's the soft spot. its a much gentler kiss, him showing attention to each patch of skin he came across.
you allow your eyes to flutter shut and let out a breath as you felt him pamper you, tenderly running his large hands up and down your back.
"it was- good... i mean, it was okay." you concentrated on speaking, twirling a bit of wonwoo's hair betwixt your fingers.
"just okay?" wonwoo spoke against your neck, knowing how you loved the vibration of his voice.
"well... i spent most of it moping." you sunk a bit further down on his lap at the admission.
"really? what's got you down, no plans today?" he feigned curiosity between kisses, knowing good and well exactly why you spent all day upset.
"no i— oh my god," you trailed off, feeling wonwoo's tongue drag flatly along your collarbone. when did his hands find their way under your shirt?
when you felt a mark forming at the base of your throat your head tilted back, sending a moan into the open air as you wrapped your arms around wonwoo's shoulders.
"w-wonu, the exercise..." the words carried no authority coming from you, but wonwoo relented and pulled away from your neck.
"right, right." he responded. he blinked a few times while caressing your hips, visibly trying to snap out of the trance he'd fallen into.
"i just feel bad about last night..." you went on. "its kind of all i've been thinking about."
wonwoo sighed, catching his bottom lip between his teeth as he studied you.
"i feel like shit too, baby. as soon you went to bed i regretted everything. i shouldn't have reacted to you that way when i'd just stepped through the door."
you felt the smallest flurry of butterflies from his softened demeanor, his original lustful gaze of fire sizzling for just a moment as he stared directly in your eyes with a gentleness you could tell was genuine. the pang of love that you felt conjure out of no where you was impossible to ignore, but so was the hint of desire that came along with it as he kept speaking.
"i've been wrong about a lot without even realizing it, which only makes things worse when we're frustrated."
the look of shy longing that now overtook his eyes felt incomprehensibly magnetic, and while the aggravation of the other day still burned underneath your skin, you suddenly found yourself wanting to do anything in order to make wonwoo feel better.
you couldn't remember a time where wonwoo had taken responsibility like this before, admitting fault without a hint of backlash. even though he knew you were both in the wrong a majority of the time, he was humbling himself to make amends with you– and you couldn't believe how much it was turning you on.
"i don't like going to bed angry at you," wonwoo continued his rambling, stuttering only a bit when you decided it was your turn to start kissing down his neck.
as terrible as it was, his words were starting to fade into background noise as you glide your lips along his supple skin, embracing his warm and brawny scent. you started feeling up his biceps, gently squeezing the muscle in your palms. you let yourself bask in how even more defined they felt from his gym session, which you were left to assume was less than an hour ago.
"i..." he slightly trembled, clearly losing himself to your actions. "i think theres a lot more that we could do to help fix us... you know what i mean?" he spoke in a low tone, and you caught on to how his sentences started slurring into groans when you suckled just below his sharp jaw.
much like he did earlier, you only offered wonwoo a hum of acknowledgment and nothing more.
in hindsight, you should be fully attentive to everything he's saying. especially because this was a rare moment where he was actively trying to solve things. but you just couldn't help yourself - the gentle and guilty tone of his voice was causing your mind to melt, let alone how good his body felt under yours again after so long. what was really sealing your coffin was the taste of his skin as you nipped at it, causing you to stir downstairs.
"are you even listening to me, y/n?" wonwoo asked, a large hand tugging the back of the neck so he could look into your eyes. your glossed over, lovestruck eyes. "all i'm trying to say is i'm sor-"
wonwoo's apology didn't even get to leave his lips in entirety before you were pressing them against yours, trapping the unfinished sentence back into the void. your boyfriend's eyes widened slightly at the desperation in the act, before slowly closing them and allowing you to take over.
you moaned quietly, the kiss immediately picking up intensity while you had your way in absolutely ravaging wonwoo, your thighs tightening around his waist as you tasted him more. you could feel wonwoo's resolve melting the longer you played with his hair, keeping his head firmly in place to keep feeding him the long winded kiss. he pulled away right before you could drain him of his very last drop of sanity, groaning at how your teeth latched on to his bottom lip for just a second longer.
"shouldn't we be talking, babe? you were the one who wanted to do the therapy..." wonwoo spoke, his words opposing his actions as he dragged your hips over his.
"i know, i know... just, fuck... later, please." you exhaled out, feeling overcome with pure want as one of your hands instinctively dropped down to palm your bulge.
wonwoo didn't bother hiding his smirk as he peered between your bodies at your shameless action, feeling overwhelmingly smug that he could get you acting this way with such little effort. he knew exactly how fervidly your body reacted to him, and it only inflated his ego more.
he couldn't deny your adorable pleading voice, the usual spiteful tone of yours completely replaced by begs for him. wonwoo could see how you wanted nothing more than to just feel him on top of you, overwhelming you, and he was losing his self control much faster than he'd like to admit.
fuck it, you guys could figure out the sappy stuff later.
there was no hesitation when wonwoo's long fingers encased your face and pulled you back to him, completely taking over your mouth with a searing kiss. you pitifully attempted to match his pace while you processed the heat of the moment. less than a beat later your hips were back to bucking at the feeling of that tongue of his forcing its way past your lips, slipping into your cavern and running dauntlessly over your teeth before pressing flat against your own wet muscle.
your hands were clinging to his shirt, bunching it up near his chest before you realized how in the way it was of you having true access to all of him. you started tugging at the hems of his shirt, whimpering when wonwoo's relentless tongue traced patterns on the roof of your mouth.
he immediately got the hint, pulling away to chuckle against your face while helping you yank the snug material over his head. you released a deep sigh of relief you once his body was revealed, hands shaky as you finally danced them across his perfect skin.
wonwoo was so built so fucking disrespectfully.
his chiseled muscles and bare chest were on full display to your hungry eyes. those same proportions that drove you crazy just from looking at him in fitted clothing now had your mind racing faster than you could comprehend. his exposed, broad shoulders grew wider each time you saw them, and those perked nipples and sculpted abs stared directly back at you - you had no idea if you could ever get used to him.
he pulled your mouth back to his immediately, gifting you the sloppiest open mouth kisses imaginable as all of the words you had planned to say melted into moans. you couldn’t stop yourself from grinding into him again through all the layers of your shorts, your quickly throbbing erection deliciously dragging along his much larger one. you dared break apart from wonwoo’s addictive lips just to glance down at the enormous tent in his pants, wanting to watch yourself drag your clothed cock against his again.
wonwoo chuckled, knowing you were slipping into that headspace that caused you to act like a starved maniac - you were his favorite when you acted like this.
before you knew it, you were being tossed, your back molding with the couch cushions. you looked up to see wonwoo smirking down at you, looking nothing short of divine from above you. a blush rose to your cheeks from how the soft light of your living room was cast agains the grooves of his physique.
"you want me?" he teased.
the words were caught in your throat, but you didn't even need them as wonwoo was quick to pull your own shirt clean off, covering your body with his own frame. your coo's of approval made wonwoo's dick twitch again, knowing how much you loved feeling the delicious pressure of his weight on you.
your fingertips roamed the vast expanse of wonwoo's back as he starting kissing you dizzy again, your hands just as hungry as your mouth was to feel him.
your eyes remained closed as he started kissing down your body, making sure to leave a teasing kitten lick to an exposed nipple on his way down. you shuddered at the sensation, a hand flying back to his hair as you felt his hands smooth both your shorts and underwear down your legs all in one go.
neither of you could handle much teasing when you were worked up like this. however, your back still arched against the cushions when wonwoo placed a chaste kiss to your cock, groaning as he felt streaks of precum that managed to leak through and decorate your member. he did you a quick favor, greedily licking at the underside of your cock and loving how you tugged at his hair.
wonwoo said nothing as he ventured lower, allowing his eager tongue to lap a stripe around your hole, rimming you to his content. you gasped loudly, a string of curses and disorganized begs falling from your lips while he used both palms to hold you still.
you felt tears begin to prickle at your eyes, both from desperation and satisfaction although he'd barely done anything yet. it wasn't until you felt his pink tongue finally push into entrance that a tear cascaded down your cheek, feeling the vibrations of his moans reverberate through your entire body.
it felt like as soon as wonwoo got started he had finished, withdrawing from playing with your ass as if he had only wanted a quick taste.
"so good for me, baby. not feeling like a bitch anymore, are we?" he taunted as he settled himself back over you, his cockiness making you try to avoid ogling over the sight of his chain dangling above his burly chest.
you don't bother tossing a sarcastic comment back, instead choosing to yank his neck down to sink your teeth into it. you felt a rush of pleasure from the sound that you pulled out of him, taking your time to lave your tongue over the same spot to soothe it.
wonwoo allows himself to enjoy your rough actions for a second before bringing a hand up to wrap around your neck, forcing your head back down against the couch. he makes direct eye contact with you, noting how your eyes are darkened with the same aura that swirled within his, his signature smirk stretching back across his face as he tightened his grip.
your eyes roll to the back of your head, wonwoo's long fingers keeping any sound you could have made from escaping. you bring your hands around his forearm and hike your legs back around his slender waist, obsessed with feeling as much of him at once as you can. your mind was just about to go fully blank, reaching that dangerous zone of euphoria right as wonwoo stole yet another tantalizing kiss from you, completely overriding your senses.
and you just let him have it all, whatever he wanted. it felt so good letting him take it like this however he saw fit.
he ground his hips against yours, letting you feel your bare bottom half rub against the soft material of his sweats - just to push you that extra step further into desperation. eventually, you could tell wonwoo was proud enough of himself to move on, seeing as he'd gotten you to the peak of submission that he aimed for.
he released your neck and freed your lips for just a moment as he leaned up to his knees, urgently dragging his pants down. he locked eyes with you just to watch the expression on your face when your gaze dropped down to his cock, stood at full attention and throbbing with the need of friction. no matter how many times you'd seen and taken his cock, his girth would shock you every single time.
"still not used to it, are you, baby boy?" wonwoo teased, reaching out to leave a gentle but degrading flick against your own cock.
he often made jokes about the drastic difference your sizes to piss you off, and while you did get defensive it was impossible to deny the truth to the statements - he was packing a monster under those slacks, and you wanted it more than ever right now.
the ever-so-attentive boyfriend that he was, wonwoo read your mind. with a speed that you were eternally grateful for, the now naked man grabbed a bottle of lube conveniently from the drawer beside the couch. he made sure to lathe your fluttering hole in however much he felt necessary before finally giving you his torso's warmth once more, leaning over you while hiking your leg up and over his shoulder.
you moaned feeling the stretch in your leg combined with wonwoo's dick prodding against your hole, his lips smothering your face with wet kisses as a warning before he began pushing into you.
bliss always came so quickly with wonwoo, especially when the atmosphere was heated with the pretense of aggravated lust as it was now. the deep rolls of his hips had you clamping your hand over your mouth to keep any obnoxious mewls in, although the action was practically useless with how they were slipping out anyways. not that wonwoo minded, his head just growing bigger with how good he knew he was fucking you.
"oh my god, i think i'm already close, wonu-" you groaned, holding onto his goosebumped skin like a vice.
"already?" he teased, leaning down to nibble along your collarbone. "you must've really fucking missed me, i knew you did."
you simply dug your blunt nails into his shoulder blade in response, him returning the favor by gripping your thigh with bruising strength. the grinding of his hips doubled in speed, bottoming out in you repeatedly until beads of sweat began tracing both of your foreheads.
wonwoo sucked one more mark onto your chest for good measure, and left another loud smooch on your cheek before dipping his tongue back into your whiny mouth. the barrage of sensations was enough for you to be hurdled towards your climax. you couldn't get a singular word out as white overtook your vision, ejaculating all over wonwoo's perfect porcelain chest.
he groaned loudly in pleasure. the feeling of your arousal dripping down to his abs caused his hips to stutter before he sheathed fully inside you, shooting his cum into you as well.
both of your hips slowed into a rhythmic pace, still chasing the highs of your orgasms until all limbs went weak and wonwoo was pulling out. you simply laid still in the sticky bliss, running your hands along his glistening skin while he nuzzled his face into the crook of your neck.
"i love you," is what he muttered while basking in your scent.
"i love you too, woo."
your mouth remained ajar to speak more on your predicament, but refrained. if you were being honest, you knew that neither of you gave a damn right now. you could just start over tomorrow.
so, you hadn't quite listened to the therapist's advice... your body was buzzing with thanks that you didn't.

Warnings: incest, dead dove, mom/son, simp Leon, cnc (reader’s “not” into it at first 😉), kissing, dirty talk, teasing, oral (f receiving), just the tip 😩, unprotected sex, creampie, mommy kink to the extreme
not proofread ✍️ it’s been a while since I’ve worked on anything so hopefully this doesn’t suck lmao the ending is just kinda meh
shoutout to the discord; I posted some of this WIP and they gave me the inspo to finish 🤭
title from the Breaking Benjamin song
Tumblr media
It’s a quiet affair when you sign the divorce papers. Your husband—of twenty four years—deciding that he’d rather live overseas with his secretary instead of sticking it out; it’s not something you would have foreseen, but as they say hindsight’s always 20/20. It upset you at first but once the indignation died down, you realize you feel more relief than anything. Things have been strained for years and then in the last five, he’s barely been home long enough to chat about your days. 
The one who took it the hardest out of anyone is Leon. Your husband offered him a place to stay, but he chose to live with you (being a mama’s boy through and through). After his father left, Leon angrily refused to speak with him anymore and instead focused on his work and trying to pick up any slack around the house. Not that you hadn’t already been doing that for years, but it’s sweet of him to want to take care of you. 
He dotes on you now, making sure you’re eating and drinking and taking care of yourself. His friends tease him about it or rib him about having a milf (which you had the unfortunate chance to overhear as you walked into the living room). Meeting Leon’s mortified gaze, you smile tightly and walk through to the kitchen. He kicks them out and apologizes profusely to you, face buried in the crook of your neck, lips brushing your skin as he murmurs how sorry he is and promises it won’t happen again. 
Things go back to normal for a while. The absence of your husband is something you don’t even notice anymore. Leon is more than capable of moving out and living on his own, but he says it’s closer to work and easier to keep an eye on you if he lives at home. Besides, he told you with a serious face, he doesn’t have a girlfriend to make things awkward so for now you just need to chill out and let him take care of things. 
He gets a promotion at work, no longer relegated to being just a traffic cop, and you couldn’t be more proud! Your offer to take him out to a nice dinner gets turned down; in its place is an evening of take out and drinking. Since it’s the weekend, neither of you are worried about being hungover the next day, so you both end up drinking more than you usually would. 
Later, Leon walks with you from the dining room to the living room, each of you laughing at some silly joke that you can’t even remember. 
Settling together on the couch, he tucks into your side, face nuzzling against your neck like he used to do as a little boy. You giggle and run your hand through his hair. 
“You’re so sweet, Leon,” you murmur, “but aren’t you a little too old to be cuddling your mom?”
“Uh uh,” he whines, making you laugh harder, “always need you, mama.”
“Okay, okay,” you pat his head, slumping further into the couch, the alcohol buzzing through your veins, “my little boy’s all grown up.”
Feeling maudlin now at remembering that the passage of time waits for no one, you sniffle and it draws Leon’s attention.  
“What’s a’matter?” He mumbles, hazy blue eyes sharpening to see your tears, “mom?”
You smile and cup his cheek. Neither of you have shied away from physical affection; however, you remember on more than one occasion you thought Leon went overboard with cuddling and snuggling with you. Now that seems like a silly thought, he just missed you during his long hours on duty. 
“Nothing, just so proud of you,” you smile, dropping your hand to rub his shoulder. 
He kisses your cheek and you coo softly. Moving closer, he lands another soft kiss to the corner of your lips. Blaming it on the alcohol, a warm thrum of heat sings through your stomach. 
“Mama,” he whimpers, lips clumsily landing on yours. 
You freeze, body heavy and thoughts slow. Leon presses his mouth more firmly against yours and you gasp, lips parting under his and he eagerly kisses you harder. Whining, you try to tug your head away but he follows you, kisses becoming rougher while pressing you deeper against the couch. 
Your hands come up and tangle in his hair, but instead of pulling him back they scrape against his scalp, making him groan deliciously. He shifts, pulling away to tilt his head at a better angle before pressing another hot kiss against your lips. You sink into it, clit pulsing in arousal, mouth tingling from each sloppy kiss from your son.
Finally, you twist away, panting heavily while Leon rests his forehead against your jaw. 
“Mama, why’d you stop?” He presses a soft kiss under your ear, making you shiver.
“Leon, this—this isn’t right,” you plead, eyelashes fluttering as he nips and sucks your neck.
“Just this once,” he murmurs, lips dragging against your skin and sending chills down your body. “Let me show you how much I appreciate you, mommy.”
His words and actions are muddling your mind… and you’ve been lonely for so long. Swallowing, you breath out a shaky breath, mind made up.
“O-okay,” your body feels hot, muttering that out loud.
Moaning, he bites your jaw then kisses your cheek. “Thank you.”
He shows his appreciation by kissing the breath from your lungs; your son’s excitement ramps up your own, cunt pulsing with need as slick fills your panties. Wet, drugging kisses pass between you until you completely lose yourself to the feeling, making out with Leon until your lips are swollen. 
You jump, feeling his fingers trail along your thigh, slipping under your skirt and brushing against your panties.
“God, you’re so wet. Wanna bury my face in your pussy.”
You moan, and he teases your cunt through the soppy fabric.
“You can’t,” your hips grind down into his hand.
“Okay, promise I’ll behave,” he chuckles.
Without another word, he flips your skirt up and slips your panties down your legs to bunch at your ankles.
“Oh mommy,” he moans, fingers tracing your slit up and down before circling your clit, “your pussy’s so soft. Fuck me.”
Your hips buck and he bites his bottom lip, fingers rubbing up and down your pussy lips. 
“So, so soft,” he whispers, eyes glued to where his fingers are touching, “my stubble’s gonna feel so rough when I kiss her, mama.”
You whine high and reedy but shake your head, “No, no, this is all I’m allowing, Leon. You promised.”
“Just a kiss or two,” he murmurs, voice low and smoky, “she needs it, look how soft and sweet she is, just begging for my mouth. C’mon, mama, just let me have a couple of kisses.”
Your resolve cracks at his pleading. 
“Just a couple, then we stop,” you try to sound firm but your voice comes out breathier than you’d like. 
“Mmhmm, thank you, mama,” he kisses the side of your cheek then the corner of your lips.
You feel a little disappointed that he stops to kneel between your legs. He brings his hands up to spread apart your cunt, slick dripping from your hole as his mouth hovers over your mound. 
“Oh fuck, mom,” Leon whines, tongue lapping at your clit, “so fucking wet. Am I making you this wet? God, your pussy’s so fucking sexy.”
Another groan and he’s fluttering his tongue across your pudgy bud before sucking it gently into his mouth. He pulls back and kisses the hood of your clit. You moan softly and cant your hips up. 
“W-we shouldn’t, baby,” you plead, fingers tangling in his hair again, but not pushing him away. 
“Been wanting to do this forever, dreaming about how I wanna lick your pretty pussy til you cream all over my face,” he pants, dilated eyes watching your face, “gonna make you cum over and over tonight.”
“Fuck,” you gasp as he thrusts his tongue into your pussy, walls clamping around the slippery muscle, “Leon! 
He hums and grinds his nose against your clit as his tongue fucks in and out of your hole, spit dripping down your ass onto the couch cushions. Your eyes flutter as your orgasm winds tight in your abdomen. 
“Need to eat you out everyday, mama,” he pulls back, slick shining across his lips and chin, “treat this pussy like she deserves. Don’t you wanna feel good?”
He sucks your clit back into his mouth, hot tongue flicking against the sensitive bud. It only takes a few more teasing licks before your climax breaks over your body like a tidal wave. Toes curling, your hands tug on his hair making him moan, tonguing at your fluttering cunt until he finally pulls away with one last sucking kiss. 
He crowds you on the couch, thick forearms hooking under your knees to keep you spread open. He nods down to his jeans; your eyes flit from his face to the bulge pressing obscenely against his zipper. 
“Pull it out,” he murmurs, blue eyes nearly black. “Take my cock out so I can stuff your cunt, mommy.”
Shaking your head, your voice cracks, “No, baby. That’s going too far.”
He whines, “But it hurts, mama. You’re being so mean. At least jerk me off.”
Biting your lip, his pouty mouth has you reaching forward, undoing his pants and tugging them down his thighs. You gently ease his dick from his briefs, uncut head sticky with precum. You both moan when you grip his stiff cock, the blood hot skin against your palm turning you on more than you ever thought. Thumb pressing against the slit, you smear the pearlescent sheen across his tip until he’s whimpering. 
“Mommy,” his hips thrust forward, “it’s sensitive.” 
He sags forward, and your legs slide up his arms until your calves press against his biceps. This new position has his dick grinding against your swollen cunt, the head grazing across your pudgy clit. Your fingers loosely circle the base of his cock, the backs of your knuckles brushing against his balls. 
“So good, fuck,” he chokes out, humping your pussy. “Just let me cum like this, let me mark you up, mama. Yeah, just coat this sexy fucking pussy with my cum.”
Keening, you let go of his cock to feather your fingers against his heavy balls. “You can, you can cum all over me.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” he chants, pink lips parted and eyebrows furrowed as he watches his cock slip between your pussy lips to rub against your hole. “Mommy, just let me put the tip in, please? Promise it’ll just be the tip. Please.”
You know you should say no, but then again you should’ve put a stop to this before it even started. Just the tip wouldn’t be so bad, you think, eyes greedily taking in his fat, drippy tip. It wouldn’t hurt to let him try it out.
“Just the tip, Leon,” you murmur, flicking up to meet his blown out gaze. “But only this once.”
“Thank you,” he groans, “love you so much, mama.”
Moving one hand from his hold on your leg, he grips his cock and guides the head to your clenching hole. His thumb presses down on the head as he rocks forward, slipping the tip into your wet cunt. You suck in a deep breath at the same time he grunts. The other hand gripping your thigh tightens, fingertips tightly digging into the soft skin. 
Leon blows out a breath, tongue darting out to wet his lower lip. “You feel so good.”
He ruts the head of his cock in and out of your pussy, the wet schlick loud in the otherwise quiet living room. Your hands move over your head to drape over the back of the couch, fingers grasping at the cushions. 
“Can I—,” he cuts himself off, eyes squeezing shut. “Can I go a little deeper, mommy?”
Your slick hole clenches down on him and he whimpers. 
“H-how much deeper?” You hear yourself say, mouth running away from you. 
“Just an inch or two,” he gasps, feeling overwhelmed by the heat of your cunt. “Pretty please, mommy.”
You nod, eyes unable to look away from where he’s splitting you open, dick driving deeper and deeper—going so much farther than a few inches—into your pussy until he’s completely buried in your pulsing walls. 
“Leon!” You cry out, head falling back as your cunt stretches around the fat girth of his cock.
“Sorry, mama,” he practically slurs, pussy drunk already. “Didn’t mean to, it just slipped.”
You whimper at the pleasure pain of his tip kissing your cervix as he grinds himself against your cunt. Clit rubbing against his pelvis makes you squeeze and clench around his dick, in turn making him groan from deep in his chest. He barely pulls out before fucking back into your sopping wet hole. 
“So perfect,” his face pinches in pleasure. “God, mom, your pussy—gonna make me cum so fast.”
You dig your hands into the couch and roll your hips down into his thrusts, “You need to pull out, baby. It’s bad to cum inside. You’ve gotta pull out of mommy’s cunt.”
He makes a broken sound from the back of his throat and drives his cock into you with harsh, pounding thrusts. 
“No, I’m gonna cum in you, make you nice and full,” he bites out, sweat dripping from the straight line of his nose onto you. “Stuff you so full, mama.”
You can’t hide how his words make your pussy clamp down on his cock, his own hips stuttering as your cunt tries to milk his cock. 
“Yeah, mommy, squeezing me so good, so fucking good,” he pants. “Fuck, ‘m gonna cum.”
He reaches down, hot palm a brand across your mound as his thumb teases your clit. You thrash against him, but it’s no use as he strums your swollen bud in rough little circles that makes your thighs tremble. 
“Leon,” you moan, a second orgasm quickly building in your core. “Oh god, I’m so close.”
He doesn’t stop the frantic pumping of his hips, fucking his cock into your squelching heat while he rubs your clit—his blue eyes jumping between your face and your pussy. Mouth dropping open, he groans, mumbling praises and promises under his breath. Pinching your clit between the knuckles of his first and middle finger, he gives pulsing squeezes to the sensitive bundle of nerves until you’re cumming loudly. 
Your back bows, fireworks going off in your brain, dimly realizing that Leon’s gripping your hips as he wildly fucks your cunt. 
“Fuck, fuck, mom,” he chokes on the word, burying himself balls deep in your soft, wet walls and spilling his thick cum as deep as possible. 
You whimper, squeezing down on him as the hot splash of his spend fills your cunt. He eventually stills, hips still snugly pressed against you as close as possible. Slick and jizz begin to slowly leak out from around his softening cock. He hisses when he pulls out, then immediately whimpers, fingers playing with his cum dripping from your hole.
“Leon, stop, it’s sensitive,” you gasp, eyes slipping closed when his fingers slide up to rub across your fat clit. 
“Sorry, mama,” he pulls back only to drop to his knees, eyes dark, mouth hovering tantalizingly close to your sloppy cunt. “Let me kiss it better.”

Aednan would have bristled at Mal's suggestion, taken offence at the insinuation that he was easy to impress, and yet, the other man's outright gall made him go prickly hot inside. The prince wasn't quite able to stifle the noise of protest that sounded in his throat as Mal rose from his chair and pulled the hand that Aednan had been kissing so ardently out of his reach. He gazed up at Mal, watching him empty his goblet as the band began to play and people started heading for the dance floor. At Mal's next words, Aednan's brows shot up his forehead and his lips parted in disbelief. Such audacity! He was so much more than just a man. A prince, a mage, a being of unfathomable beauty and grace, unattainable for most of Mal's kind. Listening to Mal reduce him to the basest commonality sent a shock of indignation through the elf. But Aednan quickly caught himself, able to see the humour in Mal's comeback. He huffed out a chuckle. "But so are you."
Mimicking Mal's actions, he picked up his goblet and drained it in a few quick gulps. As he put it down on the table before him, Aednan's gaze drifted past Mal's hip. It seemed that their little exchange had been closely observed by a villager, who Aednan presumed had to be one of Mal's suitors, an eager young man sitting a little way from them at another table. Upon seeing Mal stand, he had started to rise with a hopeful look on his face, ready to swoop in and take him from Aednan. The elven prince pushed himself to his feet in one quick, fluid motion and slipped an arm around Mal's waist. "Perhaps I should reveal myself to your paramours," he suggested, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Let them see who they are dealing with. That will teach them some respect." It should not be like this. Something was very wrong here. He was the most desirable creature (aside from Mal, perhaps) to ever set foot in this little village. Aednan always got what he wanted. He should not have to compete with a bunch of ordinary village folk for Mal's attentions.
He shook his head at his own suggestion. What was he thinking… and feeling?
Aednan flashed Mal's admirer a quelling glance and then loosened his grasp around the shorter man so he could step in front of him, facing Mal and obscuring him from the other man's view. The elf nodded towards the dance floor, his lips gleaming with a fresh smile. The exasperation that had flared up like fireworks inside him fizzled out and was gone. "Shall we give them something to really talk about?"
The earnestness with which Aednan explained the prevalence of the erotic arts in Alfheim, like it was a perfectly ordinary thing to sit around learning how to pleasure someone, was enough to remind Mal of just how different things were in other realms, the thought provoking a soft, slightly more sincere smile; he supposed it wasn’t particularly surprising that the elves seemed to have an attitude towards intimacy that was so shameless and carefree that it would surely make any prudish human blush when his own experiences with the fae courts more or less aligned with that, even if by the sounds of it Alfheim was a touch more genteel about it than the Feywild had been. By the sounds of it not knowing how to satisfy someone was a social faux pas of disastrous proportions, where Aednan hailed from — at least that meant that the other man wouldn’t be a total disappointment when if they happened to fall into bed together.
Smirking to himself at the look of complete and utter delight that his seduction won him, practically able to feel the elf undressing him with his eyes, Mal huffed his amusement at Aednan’s insistence that he wasn’t so easily impressed. The glittering enthusiasm in his eyes certainly begged to differ, the florist’s grin only broadening as he watched the elf shift in his seat. Though he was certainly accustomed to ordinary village folk now, it seemed the other man had forgotten that he wasn’t without his own tricks either after his brief stint at court.
“Doesn’t look that way to me.” He hummed, relishing in a job well done, watching on intently as Aednan lifted his hand to his lips, anticipation thrumming white-hot and electric through his veins at having elicited that moan with little more than a few carefully chosen words and some easy flirtation. Casting a glance over his shoulder, reminded all of a sudden that they were in a very public place and that the music was about to start, Mal huffed out a chuckle and rose to his feet, swallowing down what remained of his goblet in one go and then levelling the elf with a wickedly playful stare as he looked him up and down. “And, prince or not, you’re still just a man.”

The holier-than-thou Buddie fans expounding the superiority of their words and ways to anyone and everyone is so frustrating in how condescending and immature it is. But is not only grossly false and disingenuous because of their actions against BT fans, but because they erase the complexity of the human experience, their own human experience.
Because people are not perfect, we are all false narrators and we fumble through life like toddlers, sometimes destroying things in our wake. And I mean EVERYONE, including you Bestie Boos. How many of you have hurt a friend because of thoughtless words without knowing it? Been rude to someone in the service industry? Yelled hurtful words at a parent or sibling? Been involved in bullying? Ignored someone who needed help? Gossiped about another person without knowing them? Hidden something about yourself because you didn’t want it seen? Have done unintentional harm because of lack of knowledge. Needed forgiveness. You can’t tell me that you have walked every single moment through your life with complete perfection and without regret because that would be a false narrative or you’re extremely delusional to your own actions because NOBODY IS PERFECT, including you.
The older you get, the more you realize how very little you know about life. And for how silly 911 can be, they GET IT. The show gets how complex and ugly life and people can get, including their heroes. Bobby is an alcoholic, Athena is too career focused and can’t face the darker side of being a cop, May tried to commit suicide, Maddie runs away from life responsibilities, Hen cheated on her wife, Eddie was a terrible husband & father early on, Buck was a sex addict, even lovely Chimney can be careless with his words. If you don’t realize ALL of the characters are imperfect and are learning & growing constantly through their lives YOU ARE NOT WATCHING THE SHOW. You have put on rose-colored fanfiction glasses and only take those glasses off when it’s convenient to your own sense of indignation.
So yes, Tommy is imperfect, yes he’s done some shitty things and you don’t have to like it BUT the show has never been about perfect people and that is the point. And you Bestie Boo are not a perfect person either no matter how much you may think you are. [End of rant]

Hector Fort x Fem!Reader
sy: Le das una palmadita en el trasero y él te corresponde.
a/n: This is one of the cutest requests I've ever received! And sorry if there are mistakes, English is not my language.
warnings: Cute, butt pats!
SORRY ABOUT THE TIME, I SPENT THE DAY SLEEPING TO REST!
Tumblr media
You and Hector hadn't seen each other in three weeks. He was busy with the team and you were busy with college. The calls became shorter and fewer, Hector would tell you how his day had been and you would do the same. Sometimes you would just stay silent on the phone, listening to each other's tired breathing. But now he was there, in your kitchen making popcorn for both of you to eat while watching a romantic movie.
“I love it when you cook for me.” She hugged him from behind, inhaling his bittersweet taste, and smiled, letting her cheek press against his back.
“And I love it when you hug me like this,” he said calmly, taking her hand and giving her a kiss. “Let’s see what I was like before you.
“Not again. We watched that movie last week,” he grumbled. As he waited for the popcorn to finish popping, he felt her small hand slowly caressing his stomach.
“But we didn’t watch it, you kissed me every minute of the movie” she laughed, still clinging to him.
“I can’t stay away from your mouth, sweetie.” He muttered thinly, feeling offended.
“Okay.” She released him, stepping away.
Hector Fort stood distracted, facing the stove waiting for the popcorn to finish. When he felt the first soft slap on his buttocks. He turned around with a start, only to see his girlfriend run away laughing, her eyes shining with mischief.
“Oh, is that so?” he asked, narrowing his eyes with a smile.
She was already in the living room, on the other side of the couch, ready to run away again. But Hector wasn't going to let it go. With a swift leap, he set off in pursuit, their laughter filling the house.
“Come here, you little minx!” he exclaimed, pretending to be indignant but unable to hide the amusement in his eyes.
face. “I’m going to turn your ass all purple!
"I doubt!"
She dodged, running in circles around the room, but soon felt his arms wrap around her in a tight hug. Hector spun her around, leaving her laughing and breathless, before giving her much-deserved revenge—a light but affectionate pat.
“Now we’re even!” Hector declared, leaning his forehead against hers, his heart still racing from the chase.
She smiled, lacing her fingers with his.
“I think I prefer it when you pat me like this…” she stood on her tiptoes, to leave a kiss on his lips.
“I love patting your ass, you naughty child.” Hector chuckled, grabbing his girlfriend’s waist, squeezing lightly.
“I love you!” She felt kisses being placed on her cheek.
“I love you too, my flower.” He left a kiss on her forehead and left for the kitchen, returning seconds later with the huge bowl of popcorn. And you sank into it, filling your hand and taking it all to your mouth.
And then, without further escape, they stayed there, together, laughing at something funny in the movie, eating popcorn, enjoying that love made of jokes, soft touches and a lot of complicity.

ALSO I am so mad at scions of the Ted Lasso fandom for retroactively turning Nate’s ‘why are you trying to play like a Brazilian’ moment into an instance of Nate harshly and needlessly picking on poor baby Colin, who never did anything ever, he’s not even part of this, when
A: Colin trying to be something he’s not ends up being an integral part of his character and
B: in that very scene Colin is very fucking happy to laugh his head off at Nate roasting the other members of the team! like, he has no problem with other people being embarrassed in public! he only gets indignant when Nate turns the big guns on him!
like that is MY problematic Welshman, and I will not stand for this blatant Colin’s Flaws erasure, thank you; he’s a strong and capable man and he’s also occasionally a little shit, he contains multitudes

Patty needed me, after all, and she was my first friend, my kindest friend, my best friend. She’d nagged me out of my self-isolation, cajoled me into truly believing a strange little creature like me deserved companionship
She’d been afflicted with a despair unlike anything I’d seen her go through, and she hadn’t been letting me help. I went to the trouble of  cooking her food– caramel popcorn and my old lady’s recipe for potato soup– and giving her gifts. Leaving my offerings in the little reading nook by the window, I hoped that my care and concern would get through to her.
Last Tuesday, when I climbed the usual route up the birch and onto the precariously narrow window sill, the latch was closed. Patty always used to say I’d always be welcome in her home. So why, now, was she barring me out? She needed my help and she wasn’t even willing to receive it! I swallowed my indignance. Now wasn’t the time to let  anger get the better of me after all. This out-of-character offence was only yet another indication that my dear friend was in trouble.
Unfortunately, at this point every one of my ideas for cheering people up had been exhausted. Well, every reasonable idea. Every sufficiently dignified, viable idea. I only had one choice left. Natalie…
Natalie Brooks was a deeply irritating person. She delivered every irreverent word with the exact same nonchalant tone. They exclusively spoke the language of sarcasm. I was of the opinion that Natalie had never expressed a genuine idea or emotion in their entire life. 
But for some reason beyond the scope of my comprehension, Patty liked her. I’d go so far as to say the two were friends or something. It irked me to consider that in some very limited ways, Natalie knew my best friend better than I did. However I must emphasize I would never have been jealous of her. Patty’s companionship with ‘Nat’ as she called them could never reach the subaquatic depths of our friendship. I doubt a shallow person like Natalie could even comprehend a friendship as deep as ours.
Still, Patty had shut me out. I only knew one person who could stand a chance to break down these walls she built. Blunt, uncaring Natalie.
I didn’t have to climb to reach her window. The low window on the side of their stout little house lacked the gorgeous perch Patty’s apartment windows bore. So I settled for crouching ominously in the shadows next to it and tapping rhythmically against the glass, half hoping to shatter it. It took upwards of ten seconds for the oblivious Natalie to look up from her cauldron. As she slid the window open to let me in, I caught her eye. They returned my glance with a look of exasperation. Way to make me feel welcome, Natalie. As if to underscore their unhelpfulness, my ever-gracious host returned to brewing with a singular focus. 
The bright, warm firelight in her cottage cut away at my meticulously crafted shadowy, intimidating aura. The scent of rosemary and sage rising from their bubbling cauldron made my stomach grumble. I hate it here. 
Natalie leveled me with a bemused smirk. “What brings you to my humble abode, Cam? Finally come to admit you enjoy my presence?”
I just about audibly scoffed! Of all the… my wings twitched and I swallowed the growl building in my throat. Deep breath. Don’t let her see you react. Remember why you’re here.
“So you haven’t noticed what’s going on with Patty, huh?” I shook my head in feigned disbelief “Some friend you turned out to be!”
Their eyebrows crinkled and their lips twitched. Serves you right, Natalie.
“I haven’t been receiving quite so many letters recently, no. Thought I’d give her some space, let her figure her stuff out, y’know.”
Eyes narrowed, I set my jaw “Figure out what stuff?” They didn’t respond for a moment. With my keen, vulture-like perception, however, I noticed a shift in the witch’s posture as she worked. I was certain she had something to hide.
“Did you have a fight with her?” I snarled "If you're responsible for her feeling this way, I swear to the Goddesses: Ruin will befall you imminently!” 
“Hey now,” they interjected through gritted teeth, “While I’m sure Patty appreciates your protective attitude, she wouldn’t want you jumping to conclusions, would she? We did not fight. Not that it would be any of your business if we had.”
I would not rise to her passive aggression. Cameron Basil wouldn’t be caught dead swapping petty insults with this trifling, condescending, utterly insufferable fool. I’d just have to be the bigger person
“Frankly, Natalie, I find your lack of concern for our friend’s well being utterly unacceptable.” 
This seemed to have hit a nerve. She clenched her fist, released it and ran a hand through her unkempt hair. “Is that why you visited my home for the first time on your own? To tell me I don’t care enough about Pat?”
Was that anger on their face? An actual emotion? Color me surprised. A handful of sprouts began to blossom from where their potion covered fingers had touched their hair. The overall effect made her look more like an enraged chia pet than a particularly intimidating witch. 
“You know nothing about me, Cameron,” they continued, “You haven’t exactly tried to understand me. So excuse me if you don’t understand my relationship with Patty. Excuse me if you don’t like that I’m giving her space and that I have other things going on. Excuse me if I don’t actually care what you think of me.” For the first time since opening the window she actually looked me in the eye. Hers were unusually baggy and impossibly spiteful. 
“If that’s all you came here to say, the door is behind me, and I’m sure you recall where the window is. Whole lot of good this did for Patty, huh. Some friend you turned out to be” 
My face was hot. It was wet. I hated that my vulnerability was showcased, as the room blurred into abstract streaks of orange light. How could she say something so hurtful? Did they really not care about Patty at all? But Natalie had been my last resort! Was I really so incapable of helping my best friend in the world? How weak they must think I am, breaking down in their kitchen.
Despite my shaky voice, I managed to speak. “I didn’t come here to accuse you of being a bad friend. I’m actually really worried about Patty. She hasn’t left her house in days. As much as it pains me to say it,” I wiped at my eyes with the sleeve of my cloak, vainly delaying the words that had to come next, “I need your help.”
After an uncomfortable pause Natalie responded in an uncharacteristically small voice. “Days? How many days?”
“Five.” I replied. 
Ten minutes later I was sitting at Natalie’s kitchen table. The mug of strong-smelling herbal tea they’d insisted on brewing me sat untouched on the table. 
“I agree. It’s unlike Pat to lock you out like that. No matter how… unorthodox your method of entering her home, she’s usually so open to hosting you. I have to admit, however, I don’t understand why you came to me for help.”
“I just thought, maybe you’d know why she’s upset. Or even– Like if she’s mad at me you could talk to her for me? See what’s going on. I don’t really know any of her other friends besides you.” I took a sip of the now lukewarm tea. It wasn’t bad, all things considered.
“Well she hasn’t indicated to me that she was mad at you. Quite the opposite,” they ran a hand through their hair again, ending up with tiny buds crumbling off of her scalp.  “The last time we met, Pat seemed very concerned about your opinion of her.”
This caught me off guard. Why was Patty talking about me with Natalie? Had I done something to make her think she’d offended me? Could that really be why she shut herself in her room for the better part of a week? I was not caught off guard enough to overlook the blush spreading across Natalie’s cheeks as she stared into her mug of tea.
An… unfavorable theory began to form in my head. I scanned the one bedroom cottage for evidence. My search was unfortunately fruitful. One ruffled sock under the bed, a gold star-shaped necklace on the nightstand, and a second, hot pink toothbrush in the cup by the sink. Patty always had a habit of making herself at home wherever she spent the night. I knew this witch had a secret.
“Did you-”
“We hooked up.” Natalie was back to avoiding eye contact, apparently. “She wanted to be the one to tell you because you never really seemed to like me. Feels shitty breaking her confidence like that but it seems like you figured it out already. We agreed that it was fun and it may become a regular thing.”
My mouth hung open for a moment. “When?” 
“It was January 3rd,” she flushed deeper. “So like, a week ago”
I raised my eyebrows a little bit. They were kinda treating this like a dating anniversary. But I didn’t have any reason to be nosy, right now. More important things were at stake..
“Have you heard from her since that?” I asked. 
“I got a letter the next evening, but I haven’t had a chance to respond to it yet,” she admitted.
“You’ve been ghosting her for a WEEK?” I stood up and slammed my fists into the table jostling a bit of room temperature tea out of the mug.
They slumped in her seat. “I know it’s not an excuse, but I’ve been under a lot of financial pressure. On top of all the guild fees and ingredient expenses I’ve been trying to raise enough gold for my brother’s bail.”
My face softened. Financial struggles weren’t foreign to me as a semi-flightless messenger bat. 
“What’s he in for?”
“Dragon feather trafficking. Funny how forbidden spell components are only regulated off the grounds of the big fancy colleges and hospitals. They wouldn’t want the masses to have access to inexpensive options, right? They don’t have enough to convict him but they’re still gonna hold him there til somebody pays his bail. Guess they want to kill his income or something”
“Goddess, that sucks. I heard our friend Aiden got locked up for the same thing.” I sighed, longing for that spell my parents used to cast with dragon feathers that could ease my flying pain. 
Natalie gave me an odd look, “Aiden is my brother’s name.”
“Huh, small world. How much is his bail? I’m out of a job right now but I’ll chip in if I can. Aiden has helped me and Patty out of more than a couple binds.”
“It’s more than I could ask you to worry about,” they responded with a bitter smile on their face.
“How much?”
“...50 gold”
“FIFTY?!” I was back on my feet, this time banging the table hard enough to send the mug rolling. I didn’t remember the last time I had fifty gold to my name. Hells, I barely had fifty silver on me right now. 
Natalie wiped up the tea with a dishrag. I set the mug back upright.
“Sorry about that.” 
They shrugged
“Appropriate response.” she sighed. “You know how to brew?”
“Tea?”
“Potions.”
“Not really, why?” 
“I am currently overwhelmed. It would be easier to make bail if I had another pair of hands. I don’t know why I even asked… it’s not like I can afford to hire somebody. Transparently with the 20g rainy day fund and the 10g I‘ve been able to make in the past five days, Aiden’s on track to be locked up for another two weeks.”
I wrinkled my nose in thought. I’ve always thought Natalie was the worst. She was rude and disingenuous and a threat to the most important friendship in my life. They were enough like me that I feared Patty wouldn’t really want both of us around. But here I was in their house, watching them clean up after me. Now I was noticing, maybe for the first time, how similar I really was to her. She was a hardworking victim of her circumstances. They would do anything to free the person they were closest to. Just like me, they were drowning in the realization that she couldn’t get it done alone. 
“Let’s make a deal.” She looked startled as if she had expected me to remain in silent contemplation indefinitely. “I’ll help with the potions. I’ll do the training for free in exchange for a favor, and after that we can negotiate a rate that seems fair. I don’t expect a lot of gold and I’m a fast learner.”
She looked at me for a bit, letting a little warm relief pour into her face. “What’s the favor?”
“You’re gonna help me convince Patty to go outside.”
Writing Prompt #2959
I had exhausted all my options, and now it was up to my worst enemy to complete the job.

a god to a nonbeliever (CWFKB25)
High Fantasy/DnD-esque AU; Nervous Kiss @codywanfirstkissbingo
There’s barely enough room for one adventurer to squeeze into the cupboard masquerading as a four-person room, perched at the end of an unnecessary flight of stairs that does little more than act as a display case for the pitted walls and the streamers of spiderwebs. Cody shoves the door open, adding his shoulder as encouragement when it thinks about sticking part of the way on a loose floorboard, and his brothers prop their chins onto his shoulders, one leaning around the incline of his hip to stare into it. 
“I slept on the floor the last time.”
“I died.” Cody counters Rex’s stare with one of his own, the angle all wrong but that didn’t matter, sibling injustice tasted the same no matter what it is, a begrudging heft of honey to balance the spite layering over the ribs like it’ll keep them warm. 
Fox sniffs once, scuffing the back of his hand against his nose, skin coming stained dark like tar in the gloom. He’d be a fucking nightmare in the morning once the pain kicked in, the momentary thrill of gold in their pockets failing to tip the scales against the headache of finding a temple to make him pretty once more. Cody flips him off, the metal joints of his gloves catching slightly, still bent out of shape from three jobs ago. Fox doesn’t even look at him. “I also died since we’re keeping score.”
They stare into the room, the single bed wedged beneath an attempt at a window from when someone’s elbow went through the wall, the scrap of fabric strung above it that couldn’t contain a breeze let alone a body, and the inches of floor visible. 
Boba shoves them all, a rolling wave of indignation at the back of the group like it’ll make any difference. Might as well try and pluck the sun out of the sky to light a smoke and flick it back into place for all the good it’ll do him. Cody doesn’t move, doesn’t even pretend to as Rex and Fox stumble and hiss against his back. “I’m getting the good blanket,” Boba insists through his teeth and Cody knows, without needing to turn around to confirm, that his arms are folded across his chest. His hands will be pressed against his ribs, rather than curled into fists beneath his elbows, fragile despite the bulk of his shoulders, the width of his chest, the magnitude of his thighs. He’s built like an adventurer, the same as the rest of them, but he’s still the youngest, the baby. 
“One of them.” No weakness or Cody would wake up stripped to his boxers for the scant warmth his clothing would provide. He scratches at the sticky cut on his jaw, hooking his thumb beneath the thin silver chain around his neck. They’re all hungry, exhausted in a way that couldn’t be described, only born, and this tavern is their only option that involves a roof and something warm to eat. 
“Two.”
“One.”
“One and I get the first bowl.”
Cody flicks his gaze at Fox, then Rex, one at his height, the other starting to slump downwards. “Done.”
Rex loses the argument to collect their food, helped out of the door by the boot angled towards his head, and he returns once they’ve finished going through their packs with four steaming bowls balanced across his arm and a smear of lipstick across his burning cheek. Cody holds his hand out for the change and gets his coins back in full. 
“Whore.”
“Shut it.” Rex drops one bowl into Boba’s hands, the next to Cody, then Fox — swerving around his open palms for a moment before Rex relents — and he tips onto the bed next to Cody to pick at his own bowl. “They had a brother down in the mines, wanted to say thanks.”
Boba mumbles around a mouthful of stew, his lower lip pitted with the orange sauce, a few herbs clinging, “Couldn’t have gotten us bigger portions too?”
“These are the bigger portions.”
Fox holds his bowl up on splayed fingers, his grip matched to the indentations in the earthenware, his brow raised to a similar incline. Nothing they have been given matches, their armour just as piecemeal as their recollections of childhood, and the bowls provide an easy enough example to point to, one clay-red and pitted, one metal with cloth tacked onto the base, one delicate porcelain, one dark and cracked at the rim. 
“Eat your stew,” Cody orders around his own mouthful and nothing more needs saying as they bend their heads to their own tasks, methodical and efficient in this like they are in most things. 
They get ready for the night in the same fashion, gazes lowered to their own hands as they loosen ties and unbuckle armour to strap it to their packs. Barely enough room to breathe between them, elbows tucked close to their ribs as they work, and Cody kneels to boost Fox into the hammock strung above the bed. The foot against his skull was unnecessary but expected, a chill accompanying their actions as Rex shutters the lantern and hooks it onto the wall, limiting their view to dark outlines and huddled shapes. Cody settles back into the bed, quickly drawing the thin blanket over himself and throwing his cloak on top of that. He turns onto his side, staring out and seeing nothing as Boba hefts himself onto the floor and partially under the bed with the minimal grumbling that it requires, Rex claiming the remaining floorspace with a groan as he relaxes back. 
Sleep comes quickly, easily when Cody closes his eyes. 
He dreams. 
“Good sleep?” Rex coos in the morning, a shit-eating grin already well worn across his features as Cody opens his eyes, blinking into the uneasy morning sunlight. 
“Fuck off.”
Cody draws the corner of his cloak up and over his face, his breath warm and fogging back against his cheeks. He has never been able to fully remember his dreams, content enough to exist with vague emotions and waking up every few weeks with tears staining his face, but he tries as he lies there, listening to muffled conversations happening just outside his barrier of treated cloth, the hammock above creaking as Fox leans forward to threaten from his perch. There’d been light, soft and gentle sunlight behind another figure, his hair burnished to copper by the glow. His hands had cupped Cody’s face, a tremor radiating through his fingers and there’s something close to awe on the heels of the memory, confusion tempering it. Cody had agreed to something he cannot recall and then, a kiss, an uncoordinated crash of their mouths together but that hadn’t mattered because the other man is—
“Cody. Who’s Obi-Wan?”
Fox scoffs, the creaking reaching a dangerous timbre as he sways. “He’s a god, Boba. Thought you would know that.”
“Not my god,” Boba snaps. Cody lifts the edge of his cloak to observe his brother’s, Boba standing with his hands planted on his hips, the emblem he carries indenting into the bone beneath the weight of his hold. “Not Cody’s either.”
“He might be,” Cody says. “I dreamt about him.”
Fox leans further forward through the spread of his thighs to inspect Cody, his eyes dark and striped by a heavy bruise. “There’s some bigger temples in the city down the road. We can swing past and check.”
“Sounds good,” Cody mumbles. In the privacy beneath his cloak as he lets the edge fall once more, he presses his fingers to his lower lip and draws them back to see something shine in the gloom, a mote of sunlight given by a kiss.

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#jiang cheng#While listening to the Lotus Seed extra I was like 'aw this art is so cute.'#Post The Fanfic Fiasco (re: last comic's tags) I am haunted by the green orbs. WWX has a bag of edible green orbs and I am in hell.#First draft of this comic's script has JC saying 'dude you wouldn't even share with me!' and I love his little sibling indignation.#Middle child power is knowing that you don't have to share with your siblings. The little wet eyes and weak hand slaps do NOTHING.#JC probably already ate all of his lotus seeds. That's on you dude!#Part of me wants to get deeper with the metaphor of the lotus seeds here. It is a gesture of a certain kind of affection.#JYL gives something to WWX she does not quite share with JC. And WWX in turn gives something to LWJ he does not share with JC.#Really puts JC's line 'You're always eating...eating eating' into a very different light.#There are other kinds of starving besides hunger. There are other ways to be a glutton than just food and drink.#WWX's character pre-burial mounds is heavily focused on 'Indulgence'. Be it wine or flirting or hunting or eating-#-or receiving admiration; He is always indulging in ways we never see JC do.#I think the intentional contrast was with the Lan's 'Live simple and without indulgence' lifestyle. LWJ is the abstainer to wwx's gluttony.#But it does expand to JC as well! Both are locked into the role model position to have friction against WWX's apparent freedom.#I think LWJ and JC (at this point) see WWX as something they both want (in different capacities) and someone they want to be.#Yet despite the history between them it is not JC who WWX reaches out to. It's LWJ.#The boy already has an inferiority complex! Stop making it accidently worse!

that familiar, undeniably spoiled thing in star's chest purrs in delight when he pauses, when she knows he has him right where she wants him. distracted, enraptured. knows he needs her as much as she needs him. she can hear his friend, helena, the talkative one, over the phone, but can't bother to make out the words. not when the way nico's cock twitches by her face forces another wave of arousal to hit her. it still surprises her how much she can affect him, how much she can physically see his reactions. ( it's almost as visceral a response as when he smiles at her. ) can't help but find a crude pleasure in the danger of this, however small it is.
"nico," she whines, like a request, a little plea that screams 'pay attention to me!' without the indignance. then, like an instant reply, he has his hands in her hair. he tugs, tilts her chin up, and the slight pressure sends a sharp shock through her system, fizzling at the surface of her skin. star moans again, louder, and smiles up at him dazedly. so irrevocably pleased that his gaze, his focus, is on her. one of byeol's hands reaches up to his hips, gripping to find some sort of semblance of stability.
slowly, her tongue and lips work over his tip. is anything but silent as she tastes him, loves on the part of him she craves constantly. her head is swimming, lightheaded and greedy, but she doesn't let her eyes stray from his. blooms, even, under the compulsion of his gaze, looking at her like she's something holy. star sucks and hums, kisses and groans, but doesn't move past his leaking head. keeps her efforts to that first bit of him, but even that has her lips stretching over him slightly. even smiles slightly, all faux innocence and deference, to egg nico on. wants him to push, push that much more. to take what he owns.
in the simplest terms possible : star does something to him . nico was never a smiler , never distracted , never captured by anyone . UNTIL STAR . now , it comes easy to him , the way his brain will tide over like a wave when he sees her smile . the way his own mouth twitches and he almost fights to stop it . who is this guy ? how did she make him into this ? he doesn't ever want to go back . he thrills in the easy way she stands back for him , submissive and relenting all control . his mind often re-whispers those words from the gala , in the elevator . you'll let me do anything to you . and it's often been true . it's often been just that .
whatever helena wants right now is so incredibly unimportant to nico , but he'd be lying if he said he didn't want to see how STAR would react . the way she immediately pouts , all brat and demanding . it makes his lips upturn in that way they only do around star . his eyes alight in amusement . his finger slides up and down the slit of her again , as if silently comforting her . helena's voice is loud and fast enough to be heard past the phone speaker . she's ranting about food options . vegetarian . vegan . gluten . lactose . halal . nico closes his eyes for a second and vaguely wonders if this was really worth it . he could be spending this time on star , which is arguably his favourite way to spend time . part of him wonders if star will back down altogether . he can't stop touching her . can't stop wanting her . " hel , look i gotta - " nico reopens his eyes , and finds his brain and words just . stop .
star is on her knees . nico almost feels his legs buckle and give in . it's a sight that makes him choke on air , all oxygen cutting off . he blinks several times , just as star moves in closer . his cock twitches again , harsher , intense . " i . . . " he can't remember what he was going to say . can't remember why he's on the phone, or even to who . his brain races with a colourful slew of curse words , which is only amplified as star innocently places her tongue against his length . oh fuck . helena is rattling in his ear , asking him to repeat himself , that the connection must have cut off . just as star moans , loud and as if proving a point. nico is positive he's in love with her . he clears his throat , loud , into the phone , to cover the sound of star's lewd noise . her tongue is warm soft goo against him and he feels his grip tighten against the phone , just as his other hand goes to her hair . silk curtains . he cards his fingers there , then gently pulls it back and taut slightly , to help lift star's face and chin so he can see her . he bites his lip for a second before he nods , like a desperate man . HE'S HERS . HE'S SO COMPLETELY HERS . fuck anything and everything else . " i - right . " he coughs into the phone , his voice tight , breath uneven . he can't look away from star . " the food . uh - fuck , hel . anything you do is great . star's not . . . picky . " he could burn holes looking at her right now , and he loosens his grip on her hair , allows his hand to slide onto her cheek instead , eyes half-lidded .

Shadows of Fear: Did You Lock Up? (1.1, Thames, 1970)
"And they didn't make much mess?"
"No, not really. They forced that door. Smashed the cabinet, slashed a sofa. And kicked a hole in the bedroom door."
"Ah. Big mistake."
"What is?"
"Never lock inside doors. Anything you can to keep them out - but when they're in, let 'em get on with it."
"I'll remember."
#shadows of fear#single play#roger marshall#1970#classic tv#thames#kim mills#michael craig#gwen watford#ray smith#mark mcmanus#malcolm kaye#charles leno#having come to something of a premature pause in my New Scotland Yard watch (the first ep of series 3 isn't on the YT playlist I've been#using and is proving quite tricky to get ahold of) i thought I'd revisit this brief lived anthology series for the creepy season. i first#watched this about 10 years ago and my memories of it are scant to say the least‚ so it seemed like good viewing for the season#the production history of SoF is lost in the mists of time (unless someone out there wishes to enlighten me?); this first episode was shown#in June of 1970‚ but the rest didn't follow until January of the following year; probably this acted as a sort of pilot to gauge viewer#reactions to another vaguely horrorish anthology series (the previous decade had been ripe with them‚ tho we rarely see their like today)#and then there's the odd case of the final ep‚ shown almost 2 years after the series ended and running to half the length (and generally#feeling like an entirely different format) but I'll come to that when (and if) i get to the episode itself. this debut ep is... well it's#fine. i was excited to see Marshall's name in the opening credits‚ one of the most dependable of old tv writers and I'd quite forgotten he#contributed to this show. but the issue here is simply one of length. the plot is solid‚ a suitably grotty little tale of a family man's#mounting obsession with the burglars who broke into his home. it would make a good ep of Tales of Unease (shortly to begin on Thames'#sister broadcaster LWT) or a few years later as an episode of Tales of the Unexpected; both being 25 minute shows. but this clocks in at#close to 50 mins and there isn't really enough to it to sustain that longer running time‚ leaving it feeling a little stretched thin and#flimsy. a shame‚ because Craig and Watford are putting in excellent performances as the middle class couple whose reactions to the burglary#slowly shift as time passes (he goes from prosaic acceptance to fixated malice‚ she from shocked indignation to making peace with it all)#no big surprises in where the play is headed or how it plays out‚ but that's often the case with these things; it's often just as much#about the horrible foreknowledge of what must come than some shocking twist‚ and this plays it about right. it's just too long is all.

Now that I've finished dungeon meshi I have to say, while I understand the disappointment with fandom's constant obsession with shipping two dudes in fandom typical ways and ignoring the women/men that don't fit a certain mold and basically ignoring the entire rest of the story...
People acting so indignant that people would do gay or even straight shipping, because this manga is such a super women-led yuri show that's all about the power of Marcille's all-consuming love for Falin, are absolutely fucking bonkers and have lost the plot.
That is not to say that these shippers are not insane or can't be annoying in the typical ways that they are, or that Marcille/Falin aren't the most shippable pairing and just about the closest you're gonna get to something romantic in Dungeon Meshi (it's a platonic ass story and I love that), or that it wouldn't be nice for the fandom around something to stay mostly devoted to the closest to a canon pairing most shippable F/F ship. It would. But like. I don't know I'm kind of upset by that attitude now
And my intention is not to be super negative about Marcille/Falin fans, because they are certainly not all like this, it's just. WHOO! That is just so not remotely what Dungeon Meshi is about to a degree I still wasn't prepared for despite being aptly warned.

the notes on that post about the vietnam war veteran going back to vietnam for vacation and getting pranked by the tour guide are driving me CRAZY. "what if he was drafted and he has ptsd" was he drafted to vacation 60 years later. or did he go back of his own free will knowing full well this could be a triggering environment for him? it's almost like he has agency and has chosen to fly to vietnam and take + pay for this tour through an area with VC tunnels and then proceed to be so shocked and offended by a (relatively tame) prank that he yelled at the tour guide For Ten Consecutive Fucking Minutes

i think i've healed enough to finally get past the embarrassment this first one brings me so here goes
Things That Should Have Made People Realise I Was Neurodivergent, But Didn't, Because I Was a Good Kid Who Didn't Cause No Trouble And Masked Like A Good Girl:
that time in second grade when the class was playing outside on a hot day, and a boy took off his shirt. no one yelled at him. i was also very hot. now of course no one saw my internal debate, and trying to suss out what would be socially acceptable by using logic, but i came to the conclusion that since I was 8 years old and was personally nowhere near starting puberty, it would be okay for me to take off my shirt too. i happily played shirtless for a while, although i could definitely feel the weird looks my classmates were giving me. i wasn't confident in my assessment but i was willing to defend my logic and position. i was right and if the others disagreed, they were the weird ones. a teacher passed by in a hurry and yelled at me to put my shirt on in a scandalised tone. she didn't yell at the boy. nothing further ever came of it.
#i'm still indignant about this#like i had CONSIDERED IT#and while i realise that society isn't built in a way that doesn't sexualise little girls it fucking SHOULD BE#i was very relieved i didn't get in trouble at the time but god damn if that teacher hadn't been trying to stop a nosebleed or whatever#or like if she'd come back later and had a FUCKING TALK WITH ME#tbf i probably would have lied and masked my way through that one the best i could and then stress cried in the bathroom#also the way i just realised this is why i'm so good at lying in some situations#i was SO SCARED of being found out#found out that i didn't know what to do in a situation or how to talk to people#i was SCARED the first time we had school lunch and i was always so worried i'd have to show people i didn't know something#thank god for scripts#i actually remember developing a script in my head the first time my mum encouraged me to talk to salesperson#i was like 5#and i felt like i couldn't ask mum what to say#i had to KNOW#so i scripted it in my head and gathered my courage and asked where the whatevers were and walked back to my mum#and we went and found the whatevers together#mum fully just did that because she thought i was so shy#i was shitting bricks#i also hated the idea of going to doctor's appointments alone#it was fine for general checkups but when they were actually tryna figure shit out with my migraines it was bad#i'd forget EVERYTHING i'd need to say and i had no script and i was scared and AAAAAA#i'd always take my mum with me#there was this one doctor who hated that and tried to get me to come alone#i was 16 maybe?#when i eventually did go alone it went okay#i masked and came up on top :| and nobody noticed i was fully super depressed and neurodivergent#okay i think that's enough for now#internal monologue#adhd
