Here's your reminder to talk about Husk burying his face between a pair of soft, squishy thigha

ahh, irk, I should have known I could count on you :)

husk and thighs... oh, he's such a happy kitty if he can squeeze your thighs. I posted recently about loving how big his hands are, and picturing them wrapped around thighs, his claws pressing into the soft, squeezable flesh...

imagine sitting on one of the couches in the lobby of the hotel and he comes and stretches out beside you, dropping his head into your lap. either he's looking up at you with half-lidded eyes and a soft smile, or his chin in resting on your thigh and he's purring into your lap as you run your fingers through his fur and scratch around the base of his ears. its so comforting and safe for him, to be wrapped in the warmth of you while he lets himself sink into the gentle, calming embrace.

imagine laying on your stomach on the bed and having husk crawl in next to you, rest his head on the small of your back, and wrap an arm around your thighs and fall asleep like that, smoothing his hand up and down your leg, rhythmically squeezing the flesh, pressing kisses to the dip of your lower back and mumbling just how much he loves you. imagine that hand making biscuits, massaging deeply into the flesh, claws pricking your skin with each push... he can't help it, he doesn't even fully realize he's doing it. he's just so comfortable, your thighs are so soft... who could blame him?

imagine husk laying on his stomach between your knees, peppering soft kisses up over your inner thighs as he grips them in his claws. massaging them gently, slowly, as he brings his mouth higher, nipping at the soft skin and muscle, the rough texture of his tongue making you shiver as he spends far too long just savoring the taste and the feel of your thighs. husk will watch goosebumps follow his touch, watch the muscles twitch under his touch, his tail twitching away behind him, a cat playing a game.

imagine him groaning, deep in the back of his throat, with your knees over his shoulders as he eats you out. the feel of them squeezing around his head making his eyes rolls back; he'll hold them there, dig his claws deep enough into your thighs to draw blood.

imagine him grasping at them as you ride his lap, clutching at them desperately, running his hands over them while you roll your hips over his. and he'll tell you just how good every part of you feels when he touches you.

imagine him in his more feral moments, digging his claws and teeth into your thighs, marking them with rough kisses and bloody bite marks that will linger for days after he's done with you. perfectly tucked away under your clothing of course. but... wear a skirt, something you can lift so he can see them again... or something short enough that bending over will give him a glance of the bruises he's left behind... claiming marks... oh, it'll take everything he has not to take you again right there at the bar.

just... husk and thighs.

despite twst being a "villain" game

i love it when i see how certain characters speak to certain people. like how people just relate to their struggles/personalities/etc.

there’s riddle coming to terms that not everything has to be perfect, unlearning from what he has been taught growing up that not everything has to be followed to the letter;

ace who is gungho and earnest about what he believes in and has the natural inclination to defend those he grows to genuinely care about;

deuce always striving to improve himself despite setbacks and being aware of his own shortcomings;

leona who acts like he’s given up from being cast aside his entire life and coming to terms to the fact that there are people that do look to him as a leader, as someone who’s worth something;

floyd who unapologetically just does what he wants, choosing to do things that interests him at the moment;

kalim choosing to be happy and kind always, living life everyday to the fullest knowing what he’s gone through;

jamil with the expectations and obligations to essentially "perform" and do things for others more than for himself, especially when he has the potential to shine by himself with his own abilities;

vil rejecting gender norms and restrictions, while still being confident in his own masculinity, and also wanting other people to bring out their best and truest potential even though he may be strict about it;

rook being able to pick out so meticulously the beauty in everything and everyone whenever no one else is able to;

idia with his introverted yet very passionate energy towards things he cares about;

silver with his love and dedication for those he considers his family;

malleus with his loneliness and bringing out his genuine self with someone he's able to consider a friend;

i know some of these sound pretty surface-level but these are the ones that just came to mind at the moment, these are not my full-on thoughts on each of them

my point overall is i just really love seeing when there’s a character that REALLY speaks to someone that doesn’t particularly speak to me because it gives me a whole new perspective on characters i initially didn’t care about or didn’t like and makes me appreciate them more

also it just shows how how these characters are different enough in that sense so that there are characters for everyone to love and relate to 🥺💕

i could gush more about relationship dynamics as well but this is getting long enough hfdsfjsljlks anyways i would love to see others’ own takes and why a particular character(s) relates to them or why they just like them in general 👉👈 i want to spread some good vibes 💖 but anyways idk these are just my thoughts 🤧

AITA for wearing a wedding dress to my son's wedding?

my son (M, young adult) and his partner (M, young adult) have been engaged for a long time. i (M, elder) thought i might die before i saw them walk down the aisle. but after five long years, the wedding day finally came, and everything was going well: there was good food, i gave my future son-in-law a tip for his piano playing, and, most importantly, i was wearing a snazzy suit. eye-catching, but not attention-grabbing.

it wasn't until everyone was gathering for the ceremony that everything fell apart. i'm not sure what happened! one minute, it felt like the universe glitched. the next, i was wearing a strapless white wedding gown. i'm not kidding; there have definitely been brides who said their vows wearing this thing. i'd never seen it before in my life, but suddenly, i'm slumping around the venue looking like a beautiful, sad angel.

in a moment of panic, i decided to just push through and not interrupt the ceremony. things went okay at first. my son walked down the aisle, his fiance's brother scattered pedals, and then...my son ran away from the wedding. clearly i upset him so much that he couldn't stand to look at me, dressed in white in the front row. fortunately, my now son-in-law saved the day and both the ceremony and the reception happened without a hitch.

still, i feel terrible. i did sit-ups at the reception while they were cutting the cake to cope with my feelings, but i could have so easily ruined that, too. i haven't managed to ask my son if he hates me, but i'm convinced he does. AITA?

[mushroominaforest]

I keep drawing stuff for the ask blog and then realizing i can't post it lmao (by "this keeps happening" i mean its happened three times I'm just dramatic)

look. look. the siblings au was just me having fun writing a story, and then one day i drew and posted one (one) meme about it to my account with twelve (twelve) followers, and it somehow blew up??? so i kept posting more about the au cause... people liked it! exciting! and now i have 321 followers and i have NO idea how that happened lmao but uh it did.

the thing is, the story and the canon is pretty dark in a few parts (obviously lol) and I'm worried about posting any more-in-detail angst and a few things i havent even mentioned bc i dont know how much i trust you guys to listen to trigger warnings. no offence of course!!!! im sure you guys are super responsiple and stuff, i just want to be careful, human curiousity is a very powerful thing and i know ive probably looked at a few under the cut things that I knew would upset me just because i was curious lol.

is that just me??? let me know if it is bc im clueless lmao

i just wanna know like. if i were to make a post on the ask blog with the comic under the cut and a "tw suicide" or something on top, would people actually lisen to that and be careful? I'm always worried that people will ignore those

[adoreu-carat]

Hoping that this is a safe space for a veteran carat.

I’m I the only one that thinks that carats who only use twitter and newer stans have WAY more different opinions in general and higher standards??

Like, this may sound so dumb but whenever they are criticizing something about svt, most of them compare it to other groups, for example, saying things like “why can’t they do this like so and so” “why is pledis not doing this like so and so’s company” “I’m not gagging, it feels boring” “I looked at svt’s concept photos and sighed” like ?????

Why are they being so critical about it??? It’s one thing to say “Oh it wasn’t to my liking” or “I see it but it looks simple to me” instead of completely bashing the group and company and being so mean about it.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like pledis either and I know they’ve made so many shitty decisions since before svt debuted but also I’ve been a kpop stan for more than a decade and I know, like many other stans, how those companies work, we know how comebacks work, it’s not great and it might never be.

Not one single company OR group is prefect.

So I really don’t get the hate for this comeback’s concept considering it’s the last one that it’s OT13 in who knows how long.

And that’s why I’m feeling so old because yes BACK IN THE DAY we had nothing like what we have today, back in they having 2 ver. of an album was already big, different versions and whole different designs of the albums not just a change of color was so cool, having like 300+ variations of photocards was WILD. And also having them available?? Being able to buy not just on the internet but in our own countries when back in the day the only option was buying from South Korea??? Like kpop in general has come so far and I feel like SOME stans are just too greedy and ungrateful.

So, unpopular opinion I gues?

[mal3vol3nt]

i love aang for his silliness, kindness, and bubbly approach to most things. he’s such a beam of sunshine, a literal figure of hope with a whopping ton of charisma and an adorable smile. but one of the things i love most about him is his anger.

his anger is sometimes overlooked because he doesn’t approach it in the same way other characters do. zuko and katara wear their anger prominently, and it’s clear that many of their actions are motivated by it. whereas aang’s anger is very internal and masked, but is also so present in him. obviously, the avatar state makes his anger and grief clear as day, but that’s pretty characteristic of the avatar state and it’s something aang has to work toward controlling. when he’s in his normal-conscious self, his anger is sitting beneath the surface, overshadowed by his smile and surprising wisdom.

and this kid has a lot to be fucking angry about, yet he works toward keeping it from exploding externally because he knows that, as the avatar, that can be dangerous not just for him but for others. and he’s motivated by the want to keep his air nomadic views alive by keeping the peace regardless of his internal conflicts. aang is not a violent person and his anger is not violent, but it is still so prominently there and i love watching it. not because i enjoy seeing him unhappy—that’d be insane—but because i appreciate how his emotions regarding the genocide of his people and the expectations set upon him as a 12 year old avatar are written into his character. he’s so complex and his anger can be so overlooked sometimes. yes, he is peaceful person but he is also so angry! and that’s okay. he’s a human who’s lost so much in (from his perspective) such a short amount of time. he’s angry!

BRIGGSBEK BRIGGSBEK BRIGGSBEK MY BELOVEDDDDDD

May I propose - Torbek having a cultivated love of insects and lil buggy babies bc they were a constant of his growing up. Briggsy is simply enchanted when Torbek basically infodumps about them.

The good captain basically takes a mental screenshot every time Torbek shows off a new, interesting lil bug bc A) Cute Bugbear, B) Happy Bugbear, and C) he too likes bugs well enough.

((Bonus points, a lot of pet names for Torbek from Briggsy are bug related bc Torbek Loves Bugs and is also a BUGbear it's funny and ironic and Torbek gets so cute and flustered with every single one))

I see that I've become a pilgrimage point for you all to share your Briggsbek headcanons, WELL JOKES ON YOU FRIENDS I LOVE THEM AND I LOVE YOU ALL FOR PUTTING THEM INTO MY INBOX PLEASE DON'T STOP

You can NOT just give that headcanon to some who loves bugs with all her heart, anon I love you

But my love for bugs aside

YES

Somehow, bugs are just drawn to Torbek, and I'm not saying like there are flys or something cartoonish ly flying around him, I mean they sort of randomly crawl beside him and he just picks them up and the bugs surprisingly don't seem to bothered by it. He has no education on that topic and everything he knows about bugs and insects he either found out by himself or overhead someone talking (since I believe it's cannon that Torbek either can't read / isn't good at reading)

And Briggsy, being an undead, rotting corpse had his fair share on experience with insects like maggots (and bees if you know you know), I'd say at first he'd be uneasy when Torbek talks about them and he just listens because it makes him happy.

But than he starts to enjoy the company of the random insects and their sounds (you ever heard how loud bugs are when they fly, especially ones that aren't really supposed to? The loud buzz and rumble would remind him of Torbeks voice) and the way some of them are shiny (I'll still be going with that Briggsy is more than less visually impaired, he wouldn't be able to see much - I'd say he has cataracts - and anything shiny and illuminated looks very intense to him)

And I'm bad at nicknames and I don't think that either Briggsy or Torbek would know this but I think Briggsy calling Torbek Atlas (the biggest bug in the world - seeing how Torbek is giant and it also gives off a pirate-y kind of vibe?) or Wooly (based on Wooly bears, the cateepiller stage of Tiger moths - look it doesn't make sense now but they are those cute black and brown caterpillars and they are semi big, and they aren't venomous but don't touch them still - JUST LOOK THEM UP THEY'RE SUPER CUTE) but yeah, not great with nicknames, if anyone has a better one

[ninja-knox-ur-sox-off]

HEYYY!! I know wobbly hearts technically finished and I LIVED the end btw oml- but u remembered it recently and I remembered how u said u we’re gonna write wrap up chapters, and I was wondering if like, you’re still thinking about that or if that’s just smth you MIGHTTR do in a near future but you can’t quite confirm it. Or you’re just not gonna do them at all after all (which is totally understandable!! You’re probably focused on other things and since u worked so long in that fic maybe u don’t see yourself working on it again I dunno!! I’m just curious cuz I lived that fic sm lol)

Yeah man I'm working on em just burnt out as heck and struggling

[monodramatic-cannibal]

I LOVE DOG CODED CROSS TOO! I always see him as that dog that survived so much and now that he can rest and receive affection, he doesn't know how to let his guard down, how to know which hand will be gentle and which will be aggressive. I like his silly side too, but THIS side, he's just very special to me.

PLEASE TALK MORE ABOU HIM

Losing my mind rn. Cross to me has neglected shelter dog rizz, he just wants to sit on the couch and watch tv with someone. Is that too much for him to ask. (Also this is going to be all over the place, me just throwing thoughts out there to see what sticks. Also me talking about this can be taken romantic or platonic routes, I don't mind how anyone sees it. Also throwing in a bit of weapon coded Cross in there as a treat.)

I love the concept of feral dog coded turning into guard dog coded. Like Cross has been through so much, I think he deserves to bite people. As a treat.

I know Cross has canon fangs, but I also like to imagine he has claws too. Just I want him to be sharp. Also this is OOC, but I don't care I'm having fun.

____

I imagine Cross has a very specific type of fear he shows, it's the equivalent of a cornered pray animal that has nowhere to go and nothing to do but fight for his life.

Given all that has happened to him, especially later on into his life, him becoming like a fighting dog to protect himself. Being alert and lashing, snarling, clawing at anything that moves too quickly or is too loud. Not even trusting those who approach slowly and quietly, seeing them as people who want something from him or assuming they only want to get close to him to hurt him. Which leads him to especially snap at those people, wanting to hurt those that get too close.

He's basically become a walking weapon, something sharp that stabs and slashes, tears and scratches. Now wondering around without anyone to wield him as a weapon. Now having no use, no purpose.

____

(me talking about a build up of someone trying to get to know Cross)

Him not knowing why someone would approach him, being so confused when they don't make an effort to come too close, the other quietly sitting down a bit away from him trying to show they're not a threat, while also giving Cross his space. Cross not liking this and walking away every time, but this other person is persistent.

The other slowly starting to talk after the first few times in a soft tone, telling Cross about themselves, not worrying if Cross is even listening. Just wanting him to get used to their voice and company.

After a while the other starts to give Cross little offerings, such as food or ways to entertain him, trying to inch Cross closer with each coming day. Cross would lash out at these gifts at first, thinking they'd expect something in return, or seeing these gifts as a threat, like what happens if the food is poisoned, he wasn't about to take that chance. Him lashing out throwing things back, snarling and hissing. Him even daring to get close enough to try to take a swipe at the other. But after the other offers him chocolate he just can't resist but have it. Slowly opening up to the idea of their gifts.

Asking the other what the point of all this is. And the other just smiling at him. Looking at him like he means something to the world again. And he wants to cry, he wants to scream and lash out. But all he can do is stare back for a few seconds before fleeing away. The look scaring him half to death. How can someone look at him like that. With so much kindness, no malice, don't they know the things he's done, he's tried to hurt them. And yet they still looked at him like that.

After a while of this back and forth of spending time with Cross and giving him things now and then Cross will start to sit closer, just over an arm's length away, shooting the other unsure glances always having his body angled in such a way he can defend himself if needed.

The other person one day lifting and offering their hand to Cross. Doing a little bit too quickly for Cross's taste leading to him lashing out at the hand, digging his claws into their wrist and latching his teeth onto the hand.

Which 100% would lead into the story you wrote of Cross biting. (I love that short story sm, once I found it I couldn't stop going back and reading it over and over again).

____

Him now realizing he may have someone he can trust, he's hurt them a lot and yet they've continued to work with him. Him now realizing he can at least trust their touch, even if its only for short periods of time. Them always offering up their hand and him always reluctantly shoving his head into their palm, closing his eyes tight and nuzzling, sometimes a light whine coming from him. Always nuzzling the hand, the hand that now has a permanent mark of his worry and anger. But the other always uses their thumb to softly rub his cheek to comfort him.

It would take him a while to get closer than the arm's length, only being able to do it minutes at a time any longer, and he'd start to panic, still being unsure on letting himself fully trust the other.

Just him not being able to process any of the kindness given to him. It's something now foreign to him, he still has his moments where he gets too anxiety ridden and lashes, but he's quick to back himself up to shoot the other sympathetic glances and whines.

Then one day it's like a switch got flipped in his head, he's quick to approach the other on their next visit to him, waiting for them to sit before he sits next to them then suddenly leans his head on them, shoving himself into them in an effort to get any sort of attention, either it be positive or negative, he didn't care at that moment in time.

He doesn't know what to think of this feeling, but also doesn't want it to go. Unsure if all of it will be taken away from him. But then quickly realizing he doesn't want this feeling to go, so clings and claws at the other in a desperate attempt to get them to stay.

A sort of 'bite the hand that feeds' sort of situation as he is still unsure on what any of it means so cannot process the kindness given to him as kindness. He's still partly stuck in the mindset that the other must want something. But all the other does is softly pet the back of his skull, quietly talking to him, trying to comfort him. Something in him breaks, and he becomes a sobbing mess. shuddering and whining. Being physically unable to control his emotions, now understanding the other is here for him not for anything else.

____

The other has dedicated so much time to befriending Cross that they now have a very loyal guard dog that wants to go everywhere with them, always at their side like a thorn in skin.

He's devoted to them, and craves any sort of praise or physical affection from them. Despite all the work put into him, there's still such a long way to go with him. He will still sometimes go on edge when the other moves too quickly. Or he's too nervous to get attention most of the time out of fear of upsetting them or coming across as too needy.

Seems like the type of guy to shake/shiver if the other was to touch him, either it be out of anticipation of waiting for the other to hurt him in some way, or finally getting the softness and validation he craves. Him quietly hanging out in the same room as the other person, giving them side glaces. Wanting to approach but being unsure, but deciding a possible reward outweighs the risk and just walking over looking like a kicked puppy. Settling himself down next to the other and resting his head on them eyes closes, praying that he will receive a soft touch rather than a hit.

I'd also like to think, despite all the trust and work, he will always still bite and scratch, but it won't nearly be as bad, more so a warning nip of his teeth, a light warning telling the other how fragile this trust is.

Cross now finding a purpose with this person, even if he sees his purpose in an unhealthy light, seeing himself as a weapon for this person to use as they please. He will always need work and praise, he will always need someone to tell him he isn't a weapon.

____

oh whoops wrote a bit there.

I don't know if any of this can be seen as dog coded, but I did attempt to write it as such. Also I'm not much of a writer so forgive my style of writing.
