I’ve seen some theories that curlfeather haunting Splashtail is actually just his own paranoia, I’m not sure whether I like that or vengeful demon curlfeather more. Splashtail being undone by his own paranoia? Good. Curlfeather haunting him bc he thought he could do better as leader and IMMEDIATELY fumbled it? Also good
I do like the idea of it being a mix of real and paranoia, mainly because I think it's retreading Mapleshade's story a little too much for my liking - hence why I wanted demon guardian for Frostpaw lol but I am enjoying it! I feel like they could've changed up the characterization as well, imagine her being condescending, almost sickly sweet in a motherly way as she digs and digs at his failings and weaknesses before pouncing.
That being said, I feel like the narrative is a bit too indecisive to really make this moment sink in for me...is Splashtail a master manipulator (he's not. obviously) or is he coming undone and making rash choices? The books seemed to swing back and forth whenever the narrative demands one or the other.
Nonetheless, I do love all the fucked up Curlfeather art <3

Some old friends of mine found out i went on holiday to Israel twice and dropped me, calling me a terrorist supporter because I dared step foot in my mother's home town. What they failed to notice was 1) i was a small child, i had no choice, and 2) i went there because my mother had been given months to live and it was her last wish! To visit home again! Luckily, she is still with us today, but like ????? She went there to see her home one last time. And the time we went previously was because she wanted me to visit the Kotel and she wanted to visit her mother's old home.
The "friends" of mine didnt know any of this. They just told me i was evil and blocked me (they were online friends). They didnt even ASK why i was there.
And the worst part? Those friends? They were Jewish -_- they were anti-zionist Jews who just....hated other Jews for visiting our holiest site????? Idk man.
Also, as a fellow NZ Jew (I believe I recall a post previously of yours OP stating you're in NZ, correct me if Im wrong), I totally get that fear. I recently attended my local pride event, and my mother wore a shirt that said "Pride" in Hebrew. I wore my Magen David necklace. We both received dirty looks from many people, and in the end both ended up leaving early, because we felt unsafe. A year prior we went to the same event, both wearing the same things, and had zero issue.
I also hesitate to tell anyone irl that im Jewish, because i just know what the next question will be ("oh god are you a zionist?!") and if i answer wrong i could be in danger. And its not Palestinians who do this. Its mostly white people who actually know nothing about the situation and just like to trend hop and be seen as correct all the time.
What also sucks about being Jewish here in Aotearoa, is how effing small the community is. There are two synagogues in my town and im lucky for that! As theres only like....6? Ish? In the entire country. I say my town but its over an hour away lol. But yeah, one synagogue is orthodox and would be unlikely to accept a gay trans person, and the other is the one I used to attend before they started protecting abusers! And putting really shitty people on the board -_-
Also to add more somewhat unrelated complaints: the big left wing party in Aotearoa? Yeah they kinda suck ass. Last I checked they were rather antisemitic, and also make some really shitty statements? Not to mention all the other crappy stuff. And our other options are just right wing!
Anyway, sorry for the ramble, i just wanted to get that off my chest. Hope you're doing well this evening!
You know what? I'm still not over that fucking post.
Like there are multiple reasons as to why someone would like to visit Israel. It could be to see a religious site which is important to them, and not even just jewish site, muslim, Christian or Baha'i sites too. They could have family they want to visit.
There are multiple reasons as to why someone would want to send a gift to Israel. It could be their family members birthday, someone could have just beaten cancer, someone could be in the hospital dying and you want to give them something to make their last few weeks not utterly terrible.
And whilst this is not new, it is just straight up xenophobia. Israeli government bad is something that is well established, but it's not like Israeli citizens or the citizens of any country are their government.
And yeah, it does really piss me off and make me actually mad that my ex friend reblogged that.
I literally have to avoid certain parts of town because strangers who do know my opinion will see that I'm visibly jewish and harass me. I have had to avoid going to things I've been invited to because the organizer has made some posts with could be construed as either being normal about jews and Palestinians or be antisemitic and I don't want to risk it. I have to do a fucking jew test on any potential romantic or sexual partners to make sure they are normal about jews before we go on a date in case they find out I'm Jewish on the date and I get attacked.
And literally all of this behavior does not come from Palestinians. It comes from non Palestinians, mainly white people, who appropriate Palestinian suffering as their own and act because of that. I have so much more patience for Palestinians because of what they go through than a random white person.
And honestly, I just cannot stop thinking about what would've actually happened if I stayed friends with my ex friends. If they would've harassed or attacked me. And I worry to this day that the Judenhass will get too much and they'll fucking doxx me.

Idk like Max but when he said don't broadcast the radios he was so right. Most radios aren't even live, just don't broadcast them. No need to be out there policing people like that. It is almost a human rights violation to not let a guy say fuck after he was fucked
OK ACTUALLY THIS IS VERY INTERESTING TO ME. Like, ofc Max was right that if you're so bothered about :// bad words :( on radio you could simply not broadcast the radio.
But more broadly, it got me thinking about the whole live broadcast side of F1 because it's just so interesting to me how those are put together. There's almost a reality show-esque vibe in the way F1 feed directors pick and choose which radios to air on tv when you think about it! Choosing which messages to show on broadcast + onboard views vs camera track view vs garage angles... it all ties into the whole showmanship side of F1 and is part of building a track narrative and it's cool as hell. I'm always impressed by the amount of behind-the-scenes work that goes into the whole spectacle of F1 — imagine constantly monitoring 20 different feeds and having to make split-second decisions on what makes for the most entertainment.
Sorry I went off on a wild tangent! It's just very interesting to me how F1 drivers really have to feel like they work in a fishblown sometimes, because the access cameras and the world at large have to the F1 paddock is kinda unparalleled compared to other professional athletes. But I also get why that happens, because F1 (a very expensive sport) wouldn't be nearly as remunerative or appealing without that constant coverage side It's such a circus and it's so compelling. But ofc you can't "sell" your audience on the whole unfiltered F1 experience and simultaneously get angry over a stray fuck that's gonna get bleeped out anyway.
tldr: he's right but then I had to go wildly off topic about it

Is it true that Elizabeth of York birth celebrated like she was a son? I have seen some historians say this.
Hi! Yes, Edward IV did celebrate his daughter’s birth as though she was a male heir (“a prince”), iirc as per the Great Chronicle.
While we have no contemporary reports at the time of Elizabeth of York's birth, we know that Luchino Dallaghiexia reported that the birth of Edward and Elizabeth's third child, Cecily of York, "rejoiced the king and all the nobles exceedingly*, though they would have preferred a son'. Wanting a son (ie: an heir) was typical for their time period, likely enhanced by Edward and Elizabeth's unprecedentedly controversial marriage, her very unsuitable origins and his own status as a usurper. The fact that he was described as being "exceedingly" delighted at the birth of his third daughter in a row regardless does support the claim that he would have gone over-the-top to celebrate the birth of his first legitimate** child.
Hope this helps!
*Bizarrely, I have seen several historians and blogs using Dallaghiexia's letter to claim that he was bitterly disappointed at Cecily of York's birth. I don't understand how historical reading comprehension can be so poor that "rejoiced the king exceedingly" has somehow been rewritten as the...exact opposite of that. With no self-awareness whatsoever. **His illegitimate daughter Margaret (known as Elizabeth for some reason) was almost definitely born before his marriage. We don't know the birth dates of his other two illegitimate children: I think the likeliest conception date for Arthur was in early 1470, but it's unverified; and we know nothing about Grace (which was in fact her surname, not her name) other than the fact that Elizabeth Woodville seems to have been very attached to her.
#ask#elizabeth of york#edward iv#queue#speaking of which#did I mention how much I dislike historians who state that one of Elizabeth Woodville's 'advantages' was that 'she was fertile'#and just leave it at that?#or dumbfuck Anne Boleyn stans who argue Elizabeth was 'safe' because she had a son (she was literally deposed twice but okay)#That is simply incorrect and a complete erasure of her actual - presumably difficult - experiences#Elizabeth literally 'failed' (so to speak) to have a son throughout her first queenship#She had three daughters back-to-back#Her first son with Edward IV was in fact born seven years into her marriage after her husband had already been deposed and in exile#It does her an incredibly disservice to rewrite her very complicated situation according to your own whims and fancies#Particularly considering the very unusual nature of her marriage and rise to queen (+Edward's own status as an usurper)#which meant that Elizabeth - like H8's wives after her - was in a far more precarious position than sonless foreign royal queens before her#And while the lack of a son clearly didn't affect her personal marriage (her husband celebrated their eldest daughter's birth#as though she was a male heir and was described as exceedingly happy at the time of their third daughter's birth;#they decided to go on a pilgrimage - presumably to ask for a son - *together*; etc)#That doesn't change the fact that they were in a very very difficult situation that having a son could have resolved/legitimized#Worries that may have intensified even more after 1469 when George of Clarence (second York brother) rebelled against Edward#I also suspect their lack of a son affected the nature of Warwick's propaganda against them during his rebellions#but that's a whole other topic of discussion#Either way: What we should never do is erase and rewrite Elizabeth's (and Edward's) very complex situation in the 1460s#in favor of an inaccurate but more 'convenient' alternate history#It's a little odd tbh because I HAVE seen such discussions for Anne of Bohemia; MoA; and Henry VIII's wives#who all struggled to have male heirs#But for some reason Elizabeth's situation is not even acknowledged - let alone discussed#funny how that happens#anyway#ik I went VERY off track I'm sorry about that

Judging by how Ryan love to show his feminist ideals by making female characters go through unspeakable amount of non-canon abuse and violence. And the only way for Rhaenyra's story to be a progressive/feminist tale is by making her get abused by the men around her. I am going to assume it's wouldn't be that far for Ryan to change Rhae's death and makes her gets raped in 4k scene by aegon (who should be disabled but we know Ryan loves to ignore source material) like show Rhaenyra's got zero respect from the writers. Like even her relationship with Daemon which wasn't healthy in the book to begin with , is now not really about her but because Daemon got the hots for Viserys (some leaks implies it for Aemma) he started projecting into her and entered a relationship with her bc it's the closest he can get to Visussy 🤓 f&b was already bad for me personally but Ryan is such a talented mf he managed to come up with much worse
*sorry for the rant I don't really ship daemrya but I really hate watching a female character get non-canon abuse just for the writers to prove a point about a male character *
Edit: My answer became very negative so for the pookies who want to avoid discourse and negativity pls scroll past ♥
it's alright! no need to apologize! 🫶
tbh with you I do enjoy daemyra very much in the book but I fully acknowledge their dynamic has its toxicity (tbf it's super rare to find a wholesome, sweet, "healthy" asoiaf couple and I probably wouldn't even get that hooked compared to how I get with the dark ones)
That being said, the couple lost me already by s1 ep4, so it terms of shipping I've given up waiting anything from them
Now about the writing, hotd has been misogynistic from the start so I'm not exactly waiting for a transformation to happen in s2.
in s1 Alicent’s character was rewritten - in such a way that the new version of her doesn't even experience a moment of happiness or a second of having autonomy or power. She's always someone's punching bag while also her being hypocritical and nasty to Rhaenyra
Laena's way of death was completely unnecessary and brutal, similiar to Aemma's. And the fact they made getting burnt alive being "a dragon rider's death" already gave a hint about how Rhaenyra's death will be seen if it follows canon.
asoiaf established how brutal dragon fire is when Rhaegal bathed Quentyn after he tried to tame Viserion. It's not "honorable" as hotd tries to make it be, it's torturous. And my concern with Rhaenyra's death is that it won't be seen for its brutality.
To continue Baela & Rhaena were barely given any lines, their role as kids was getting dismissed but their dad and as adults they were just standing silently - you'd think they were background characters.
Mysaria's character was brushed off by erasing the child loss she went through due to Viserys - which debatably worked as a trigger for the events she also did in the plot.
Rhaenys was downright written as an idiot who was envious of Rhaenyra and instead of supporting her, she was trying to "humble" her by being an asshole. When she got the opportunity to destroy the greens during the coronation she walked away because.... *check notes" she made eye contact with alicent and the power of motherhood won? her granddaughters being engaged wasn't enough for her to act I guess.
Then there's Helaena, who while she did have an extremely tiny role in the book, it doesn't justify making her extra passive. I've talked about this before but making her having "dragon dreams" is useless and a waste of time and it's also a great excuse to have her be dismissed and ignored.
Helaena in the book was said to be pleasant, motherly, patient and calm. I won't mention the leaks I've read about b&c but if they're true they paint her in a very weird light.
Rhaenyra deserves an entire post of her own. If alicent was the punching bad Rhaenyra is the bing bong boll being tosses from one person to another each second.
So yeah, the issue isn't about shipping or even which teams anyone sides with. The writing is atrocious to all the female characters, and what's the cherry on top is the showrunners constantly patting themselves in the back for being "feminist" and GA falls for it!
I'm so burnt out 😩 This is why I've decided to attempt turn off the media analysis for the show 'cause it's like kicking a dead horse. My goal for this season is to try to vent less and enjoy whatever I can put of context without thinking too hard about it.

question for my fellow sasuke warrior and i’m being so serious here… has sasuke actually harmed or hurt or killed any random civilian of konoha or anywhere else? i only recall him fucking up danzo. there was a manga panel saying he only cares about bringing down the council and he doesn’t care about anyone else.
He never killed anyone randomly, especially civilians 🗣️! After he found out the truth behind the genocide of his clan, he really did want to destroy Konoha himself and knowing how he is, and was during those times, especially with how he’d received the truth, well then who knows?
But we do know that Sasuke has always been about his own goals and following his own path no matter how much they might’ve changed along the way. He was constantly learning new information about the genocide, his clan’s history after all. Of course things would cause his “morals,” to become shaken due to the shock (he was so rifhr though 🗣️🗣️🗣️.)
Despite all of the things that he’d done or threatened to do, he never did hurt anyone who was innocent (he stabbed Karin and I still want to throw up whenever I think about it orz whaaa.) He killed those Samurai but we know that they don’t count, they were the enemy and had attacked him first from what I’m remembering.
I still think about that panel in the manga where Orochimaru called Sasuke “soft,” for not killing ninja who he’d defeated and all his response was that they simply “were not the one he wanted to kill,” and of course, this was all before the “death,” of Orochimaru himself. Like… even this small incident here has revealed that Sasuke had never been a monster or the truly evil person that a lot of people who still mischaracterizes him, view Sasuke as, along with the characters within his very own universe who’d started to view him as a “lost cause,” who WAS indeed, capable of hurting others. Even his own teachers (Gojo would NEVER- white haired teacher of all time, sorry) 🗿. Others had physically tried to restrain Naruto himself from going after Sasuke because they wanted him to give up on him as well, which was disgusting. It’s almost as if they just wanted everyone to equally loath him, to spite him, and feel regret whenever his name and memory would ever be brought up. It’s awful!!! A character so full of love like him??? And yet, everyone around Sasuke had already made up their minds, casting him into such an awful light because they refused to understand why he’d been fighting so hard to begin with and pretended not to see the pain that he had been in for so long. But as soon as he bared his fangs, all of a sudden, he was the “typical crazy ass Uchiha.” Uhh, don’t get me started, Anon 🤕! He beat the killing/harming innocents allegations 😭❤️❤️❤️!!!

daenerys antis remind me of elena antis the way they will twist the text to make this teenage girl into an evil monster, like daenerys antis are out here defending LITERAL SLAVERY because they hate daenerys so much and want to see her as a villain
Oh, absolutely. What’s so funny is that GOT already made so many little changes to Daenerys’ character and plot to make her seem “worse”—having less moments of humor, less moments showing her gentle heart and kindness, less moments showing her intelligence, and whatever the fuck her s2 arc and conclusion (in the books she gives a dying Doreah water from Dany’s own skin and holds her as she passes, in the show she’s betrayed by her and leaves her to rot in the vault)— and STILL, her s8 turn was regarded by nearly everyone as Out Of Character, Rushed, and generally just Bullshit. And yet so many fans think her book character making the Same turn will make more sense and be more satisfying….. not to mention GRR already has sooooooo many plots to wrap up in Dany’s arc alone (let alone Allllllll of the other characters’) and somehow he’s supposed to make a sensical and satisfying villainous turn in two books?? I just don’t see it lol
Honestly, IDK how to properly articulate it but. I feel like there’s always this…. subconscious resentment when (particularly teenage) female characters “dare” to be the main characters in their works. It’s why other female characters who are supporting or side characters are given a LOT more leeway (to the point of double standards— example Elena getting torn to shreds for being “friends” with Damon in s1-2 given everything he’s done to her friends and brother (despite actively being a victim of him herself) compared to in later seasons Caroline’s flirtationship and tryst with Klaus who killed a lot of the main cast’s friends and family being cheered on and/or sympathized with; or, Hell, compare to the audience holding no such anger or expectations toward Stefan, who, despite also being a victim of Damon’s abuse, has MUCH more power to defend himself compared to Elena). ESPECIALLY IF THE MAIN FEMALE CHARACTER IS NOT WHITE OR NOT STRAIGHT.

Hi! I hope you don't mind me joining in on the fun (if we can call it that).
So much of the stuff in here is really good! I just wanted to expand on a few points, more from a medical/ biomedical point of view (because I study this and I want to infodump).
What you need to determine first and foremost is how you want your disease to be transmitted:
airborne: anything that can travel in the air and enter the respiratory system. Droplets count as well. Usually results in lung infections, throat thrush.
contact: skin to skin contact, but can also be due to contact with other body secretions and sharing of needles. If you are considering skin-to-skin, then you need your pathogen to be pretty tough because it has to be able to withstand the skin pH and commensal bacteria populations, but I think I am getting ahead of myself.
foodborne: food and water, anything that can enter the gastrointestinal system. Contaminated food or water usually cause issues with the lower intestinal tract and severe dehydration.
sexually: pretty self-explanatory how these spread.
animal to human: a disease which just happened to affect animals now has mutated and can be infect humans too. Symptoms may be more extreme than those found in animals and more difficult to treat due to the different structure of the virus. (Just a heads up, these kind of mutations are pretty rare and don't happen too often because of different compatibility between species).
healthcare system: MRSA is a good example of this category. Basically, an innocuous simple disease, once exposed to a wide range of antibiotics and/or other disease strains, mutates and becomes a more dangerous pathogen. With MRSA for example, Staphylococcus aureus is resistant to antibiotics, so it has to be treated with a "cocktail" of antibiotics and is generally a lot more resistant to regular treatment options.
What is your pathogen's preferred defence mechanism?
altering its antigens: the pathogen can alter its antigens. Antigens are on every single one of the host's cells, but also on all pathogens, viruses and bacteria. The immune system can identify and distinguish between the "friendly" antigens on the host cells, and the "bad" antigens on foreign organisms. Once it detects the "bad" ones, the immune system attacks and kills the foreign organisms. Alteration of a pathogen's antigens can occur via simple variation (so, same pathogen exists in different forms, also called serotypes). Each variation of the pathogen is recognised by the immune system as a separate entity, so the illness keeps coming back, but the symptoms remain usually the same.
imitation: some pathogens cover themselves with the host's antigens and this way they remain undetected by the immune system.
incubation period: if you want to make your pathogen or disease particularly insidious and difficult to treat, consider giving them an incubation period. An incubation period is a short period of time in which the microbe or virus "cloaks" itself and basically flies under the radar of the immune system. To do this, the viruses just enter the host's cells and remain dormant for a while. This allows them to stall and replicate in great numbers inside of the cell by completely highjacking its resources and energy. Once the pathogen has replicated adequately and in great quantities it kills the host cell and then spreads in high numbers to all surrounding cells, continuing this cycle indefinitely. This method of protection comes with two added advantages. The first one is that the pathogen remains completely separated from the outside environment and hence cannot be detected by the immune system as it keeps replicating. The second one is that when the treatment/ antidote/ medicine that kills this pathogen is given, some of these pathogens may still be in their incubation period inside a cell, so these just remain impervious to the medication.
highjacking of immune system: some pathogens are able to instead enter macrophages or other immune cells and basically go through the same process as described in the section above. Otherwise, pathogens can start attacking and killing cells of the host immune system too. These are particularly aggressive and deadly.
outer membrane as an extra shield: Streptococcus pneumoniae has an external polysaccharide capsule which keeps the genetic material of the pathogen safe and sound, so that it is not damaged until the time in which the pathogen wants to strike and attack the host. These kind of pathogens are resistant to many of the host's immune defences.
How does it spread?
blood or lymphatic system: this gives the pathogens the widest range and spread of infection and usually the hardest time to target with medications. This method of transportation is often also characteristic of cancer cells, so if your disease infects for example skin cells and these detach from their normal location and enter the blood stream, they can be transported to another area of the body, reside there for a while and spread the pathogen to the new area. You can have recurrent infections and your disease just keeps popping up in different areas of the victim's body.
cell mutation to cell mutation: just easy enter and breaking of the cell genetic make up. It usually results with the cells not abiding to the normal cell replication rates and increase in numbers much faster than normal/ healthy cells. If the spread of unhealthy cells is particularly high it can result in severe cell death and development of necrotic tissue, expulsion of pus and deep skin wounds that keep getting infected.
nervous system: if it affects the CNS, then it will be a tough one to treat, as the brain is basically protected by the blood-brain barrier which is particularly hard to reach or cross over for medications. If it affects the PNS instead maybe you can make it so that it replaces some major neurotransmitter (binds with more affinity/ frequency to receptors than the normal/ healthy brain chemicals basically). Otherwise, you can make your illness even more difficult to treat and make it target and destroy the nerve cells or a structure of the nerve cells (e.g. myelin, which is essential in transmitting information to one neuron to the next really fast).
Something interesting you might want to take into account: what is their mutation rate? The higher the mutation rate, the more recurrent the pathogen is (e.g. influenza). You can make the pathogen have a low mutation rate and instead be a disease that was once conquered, but has now come back with a vengeance due to several slow mutations over a long period of time.
You got to the point where doctors are starting to study the mysterious new disease, where should they start to look to find some answers? Here's your crash course into immunology:
bone marrow: the spawn point of all your immune cells! In adults it is the location where B cells develop.
liver and spleen axis: essential for immune system regulation.
spleen: where differentiation of T and B cells occurs
liver: detect and kill bacteria (entering via gut), recruitment of lymphocytes, production of T cells
thymus: development/ maturation of T cells
Treatment options: as op said, corticosteroids are really good and efficacious on the short term, but are never good for the long term. However, here's some more:
gene therapy: incredibly specific treatment option, but incredibly expensive.
corticosteroids and NSAIDS: usually have a wide reach in the body, good for short term, bad for long term. Remember to not give high doses of these either: everything in moderation (NSAIDS are the most widely used and are pretty reliable, treat fever and most symptoms of illnesses)
antibiotics: very good and specific for a disease, but should be used carefully, lest the pathogen develops resistance (e.g. MRSA)
grafts: these involve the replacement of damaged tissue by transplanting healthy tissue from patient or healthy (immune-comparable) donor. There are used only in extreme cases where necrosis, advanced cell death or extensive damage was done to organs (or even after surgery or cancer removal, but that is probably beside the point). If I am correct grafts are used mainly in severe skin or nerve damage.
transplants: same rules apply as for grafts (only in cases where extensive damage was dealt to an organ and requires immune-compatible donor). Again, if incompatible organ is transplanted, then an autoimmune reaction will occur.
moisturisers, gels, creams, ointments: usually super effective for skin conditions (irritation, to be more precise)
biologicals: incredibly effective and specific, but an expensive treatment option which cannot be afforded by everyone.
Treatments side effects. Maybe your pathogen affects one body system in particular, but the medication is found to have some adverse side effects on another body system. For example, beta blockers widen veins and arteries, but close up the windpipe or cause an asthma attack in people with breathing difficulties. You can decide how your treatment works and how it might affect people.
In short... what I would suggest to people is to just determine three things: how the disease can invade the host, how it spreads and how fast it mutates/ how good it is at hiding from treatments and the host's immune system. Once you have these sorted, decide what the illness primarily affects (e.g. which system/ body part/ cell type, etc.) and based on that just do some very light skim reading of similar real-life illnesses. You might find some interesting details you might want to integrate in your fictional story.
What are the steps to designing a fictional disease?
LET’S INFECT SOME PEOPLE.
Inside this post: Not so much a step-by-step, but a bulleted list of things to consider when creating a fictional disease, sickness, infection, illness, or ailment, as brought to you by someone who is not a doctor and knows very very little about actual, real medicine. Anyone with better information and more knowledge is absolutely free to correct and add to this post. -Headless

I don't write much anymore because when i read books or even posts on tumblr, i am left in such awe of their writing that i wonder if I'll ever be able to write as well. How am i supposed to translate my thoughts into words when i feel like other people do it better than me. My own feelings and emotions that i want to portray onto the world are so complex and disordered in my brain that i fear I'll never be able to put them into actual words and sentences. But they are there and they exist and they long so deeply to be understood. Sometimes ill read these snippets of thoughts from other people and i will relate to that and also feel like i could have never put that feeling into better words. Then another dilema arises in which i feel like as much as i am made of a compilation of different thoughts and feelings that many people also feel, which one person will understand me as a whole. who will be willing to understand the depths of my soul and the tortuous monotone of my brain. i long soo deeply just to be understood

drunk and driven. (light yagami)
Tumblr media
↷ A/N ─ happy belated birthday to light and me !! i hope you enjoy this :) again, this is NOT rape/non-con. the reader is as sober as light here. written by a zombie-me at 4am. also im sorry if the camera topic is overused, i just couldnt help myself fantasizing about this
★ COUNT ─ 2.5k
!! TAGS ─ f!reader, dom!light, drinking, smut, fingering, spanking, unprotected sex, p in v, nicknames (good girl, pretty girl, etc.), edging, begging kink, voyeurism
★ PROLOGUE ─ your boyfriend punishes you for almost letting slip his real identity
SMUT, 18+, MDNI
Tumblr media
The dim glow of the television cast shadows around the room. You had been at your high school's farewell party, and had too many drinks there to stumble back home in one piece. It was almost midnight, so there was also no way your boyfriend, Light Yagami, would have let you out of his sight, especially with how tipsy you were. He was quite protective of you, but he was right. You let out a drunk sigh and looked away, silently accepting the fact that you'd have to meet his parents in the morning and share a few awkward exchanges.
Light had had more drinks than you at the party, but he looked far from as drunk as you currently were. He was quietly watching a movie on the TV, stroking your hair lightly. Your gaze went up from Light to the flickering screen. A sudden surge of courage rushed through you.
"Light," you whispered, breaking the silence with your hoarse voice.
"No, you're not going home tonight," Light replied without looking at you.
"No, it's not that," you said frustratedly.
Light raised his eyebrows, hearing you slur your words due to the effects of the alcohol. Still, he did not look at you.
"How much did you drink?"
"Less than what you drank," your throat burned, your eyes drooping slightly.
He ignored you, seemingly engrossed in the movie, but you knew it was all just an act for the cameras L had set up.
You continued, "And it doesn't matter how much I drank, because either way, you refuse to give me attention."
Ryuk snickered in the corner.
Light frowned, finally turning his attention towards you as his eyes trailed down your body. He noticed the dark circles under your eyes, the redness of your cheeks, and the slight swaying of your body.
He looked at you for a few more seconds with a calculating look before sighing and setting the remote on his table. He stood up, "You should really get some sleep."
"No," you repeated.
"I-" Light was starting to get annoyed. "Are you crazy? Don't you want to go home tomorrow?"
"I just- I-" You sighed again, leaning back against your chair and almost falling off.
"Idiot," Light muttered, catching you before you fell. He carried you to his bed and lay you down gently before covering you with his blanket. "Are you comfortable? Do you want me to sleep on the floor?"
"No, no, I need cuddles," you smiled drunkenly, completely forgetting what you were going to say back when you had gotten some "courage".
"Of course, you do," Light said proudly. "You need my cuddles to sleep."
You hummed in response. As he snottily took his shirt off before lying down next to you, you closed your eyes slightly. They were burning, as if trying to stop you from both closing them and keeping them open.
His hands made their way to your back, gently pushing your neck to his bare chest. You finally shut your heavy eyelids and snuggled closer to him. This was what you always wanted. Just you and Light. Alone.
You furrowed your eyebrows, your eyes still tightly shut, your face pressed against him. Alone? It was laughable that you thought even for a moment that you two were alone right now. Well, for one, there was a God of Death in the same room as you, trying not to pass out from the lack of apples in his digestive system. Second, a great detective was watching the two of you, possibly along with your boyfriend's own father.
Light pulled you even closer to him, inhaling your scent deeply. Soon, the two of you drifted off to dreamland, and L was left questioning whether the seventeen-year-old star student really was a murderer.
You woke up, limbs tangled with Light's. You checked your wristwatch. About four hours had passed, and as you tried to sit up, your head felt heavy from an early hangover. Light's eyes jerked open. He had always been a light sleeper.
"Hm?" he mumbled in his sleep, no longer feeling the presence of your head in the crook of his neck. "What's the matter, honey?"
"I... had a dream," you said slowly.
"Nightmare?"
"Kinda."
Light sat up slowly and reached out for a glass of water to hand to you.
You peeked into the glass, rubbing your left eye until you saw stars.
"Vodka?" you said hopefully.
"Water," he replied calmly.
You pouted pleadingly; more alcohol was what you needed right now, but you eventually had to resign to your boyfriend. You drank the water, and instantly felt much more sober than you were before. Your sleepy eyes fell on Ryuk, his legs and hands in a rather uncomfortable position, perhaps due to not having apples for such a long time.
For a moment, you, for the second time that night, completely forgot about the existence of the cameras.
You turned to Light. "How long is he going to go without apples?"
"Who, honey?" Light's eyes flashed warningly, but you were far too sleepy to notice.
"Ryuk, your Shini-"
Your words were cut off by a sharp kiss. Light had completely thrown himself at you, and you fell back down on the bed due to the sheer force of his abrupt kiss. The empty glass landed on the floor with a loud clink, but he ignored it. His hands reached under your shirt, his nails digging into the skin of your hips as if daring you to talk further.
You attempted to prop yourself up on your elbows, to gain some kind of control over what was happening. But Light pushed you back down, pulling you by your hips and roughly throwing your head down on the pillow.
He pulled away eventually, the pupils of his eyes completely red, and you cursed yourself mentally. This was not your Light. This was Kira.
He leaned away from you, got up to pick up the thrown glass and filled it with water again, but as he offered it to you, you rejected it. "I'm sober enough for this, Light."
"Very well then," Light whispered and leaned in closer to your ear. "I hope you remember you're being watched. Make sure you put on a show."
You nodded slowly, letting his hands roam around and make their way to the hem of your skirt, twirling the fabric around his fingers. He brought another hand to your top and slid it under the cloth, feeling the material of your satin bra.
"The one I gifted to you?" he raised his eyebrows, a little smirk on his face.
"Yes," you whispered, pulling his bare chest against your clothed one. "Strip me, Light."
"What's the magic word?" he teased, hand slipping under your bra and cupping your breast.
"Please," you whimpered when he pinched your nipple.
Ryuk snapped his eyes open and tumbled out of the room clumsily, perhaps to give you some privacy.
"Good girl," he didn't hide his smirk this time as he pulled your top off completely, throwing it to the side where it landed on his chair next to his own shirt. He ran his hands down your back, grabbing the zipper of your skirt and slowly pulling it down. Light slid the skirt down your legs, leaving you in a matching set of satin underwear and bra.
"Pretty," he murmured, his hand grasping his growing bulge tightly.
"Let me help you with that," you sat up on all fours and leaned in closer, a hand stretched out to touch his crotch.
You rubbed him lightly, slowly increasing your pace before unbuckling his belt and slipping your hand under his boxers. Your constant touching of his tip made him groan, hand reaching out to yank you by your hair and push you back down to the bed. You grabbed his hands and brought them to your breasts, pressing them against your chest.
"Take my bra off."
"I'm not a man to be told what to do," he said, bringing his lips down to your neck. "But I will allow it this time."
Light freed his hands from your grip and brought them to your back, unclasping the hook of your bra and letting it fall to the floor. He cupped your breasts in his hands, lowering himself so that his mouth sucked on one nipple while his hand squeezed the other.
"Fuck," you moaned, pushing his head against your chest.
He grabbed your hand and brought it once more to his crotch, letting you feel the bulge in his pants again.
"You're not the only one who's needy right now."
"You're so- god, I can't wait to feel you inside me," you said, rubbing his dick through the fabric.
"Patient girls are rewarded," he said, dragging his lips from your neck to your collarbone, his free hand ripping your panties off.
"Hey!" you whisper-screamed.
"I'll buy you another set," he said calmly, sliding two fingers inside you, curling them up and hitting your g-spot.
"Yes," you moaned, pushing his hand against your pussy. "Faster."
He brought his other hand from your nipple to your clit and started rubbing it in circles, simultaneously fucking you with his fingers.
"Fuck, I'm going to come," you whimpered after a few minutes, feeling your orgasm build.
"Mhm, do it, what a good girl," he said, rubbing your clit faster, aiding your release. You came hard on his fingers, arching your back, bucking against his hand and moaning loudly. Your legs shook, while he pulled his fingers out of your pussy and brought them to your mouth. "Clean them."
You nodded, sucking on his fingers, your teeth digging into his skin. Light smirked.
"Don't you think you should be punished?"
"Huh-? For what, Li-?"
Your words were cut off once again when he pulled you onto his lap so that your ass faced him and you lay on your stomach, pussy pressed against his crotch.
_ _ _ _
"L, I don't think we should be watching this," Soichiro Yagami kept his eyes away from the screen, where his son, his perfect little son, was busy fingering his girlfriend. He hadn't even known he had a girlfriend, let alone the fact that they were so... intimate with each other.
"There has to be some meaning in what the girl said," L racked his brains, eyes scanning the scene, now showing you in Light's lap and his hand rubbing your ass. "Apples?"
"For god's sake, it may be some sort of safeword for when they- for when they do- this," Soichiro yelled, his eyes on the floor.
"It's not a mere coincidence, Mr Yagami," L said thoughtfully. "Apples? Kira told me 'Shinigamis' loved apples earlier. This is not a coincidence, Mr Yagami."
_ _ _ _
"You're going to be punished for fucking everything up," he whispered in your ear before smacking your ass hard. "Count."
"One!" you yelped, feeling the sting of his hand on your ass. "Two!" "Three!" "Four!" "Five!"
He kept spanking you, alternating between your ass cheeks. You could feel his dick hard against your stomach, and ignoring the pain in your ass, you started to grind against it.
"Six!" "Seven!" "Eight!"
He spanked you harder, and you could feel your ass getting red. You were breathing heavily, and your pussy was so wet that it was dripping onto his lap.
"Nine! Ten!"
_ _ _ _
"Can we stop watching this now?" Soichiro groaned.
"There has to be some hint," L traced the screen with his fingers which showed you getting spanked hard by Light now.
Soichiro let out an uncomfortable sigh.
"Mr Yagami, you can close your ears and eyes," L said without looking away from the screen.
_ _ _ _
"Good girl," Light said, rubbing your ass. "Now, a reward."
He slid his pants and boxers down to his legs and wiggled out of them. He brought his dick to your pussy, rubbing its head against your clit and earning a moan from your pursed lips. He flipped you over, pinning you under him on the bed again as he continued to tease you.
"Please, Light," you begged, trying to reach out for his dick so you could push it in.
"Please what?" he said sweetly and you groaned in annoyance.
"Please fuck me."
He smiled and pushed his dick inside you slowly, savouring every inch of your tight pussy.
"Oh!" you wailed, feeling his cock stretch your pussy.
He started bucking his hips in and out, fucking you harder as his balls slapped against your clit, doubling the pleasure. He was careful not to make a sound, but he didn't stop you from letting your strangled moans out. This would be your punishment, facing his mother in the morning after getting fucked so hard by him at night.
You tried very hard to suppress your lustful sounds, eyes welling up at the thought of facing his family in a few hours, but you couldn't. He was too good. He knew just how to get under your skin. Slowly, you felt your second orgasm approaching.
"Ah, ah! I want to come," you clasped your hand against your mouth to stop yourself from screaming. He was going so hard on you, of course, his mother and his sister would wake up if he continued.
"No, you're not. Hold it in," Light commanded. "You're going to come when I say so."
He kept fucking you harder, and you could feel your orgasm building. This was torture. There was no way you could hold yourself in when he was going so hard on you.
"Please, Light," you begged, feeling your pussy clench around his dick. "I can't hold it in anymore."
"Hold it in, I said," he said, flipping you over again and spanking your ass hard. He increased his speed, and you buried your head in a pillow to muffle your screams. "I'm going to come inside you now. Understood?"
You could feel his cock twitching inside you, and you knew he wasn't lying about his orgasm. You nodded slowly, voice still distant because of the pillow.
He let out a long, satisfied groan as he released his juices inside you, pushing his dick deep inside you. You could feel his cum filling your pussy, and it sent you over the edge.
"Now, come for me, pretty girl," Light said in a hoarse voice.
"Yes!" you screamed, feeling your orgasm wash over you. His cum was dripping out of your pussy, and you could feel his cock softening inside you.
"Good," he said, pulling his cock out of you. It was scary how calm and composed he was when a minute ago, he had spanked you so hard. He grabbed a towel and wiped your pussy clean.
_ _ _ _
Soichiro blinked at the abrupt ending of the sounds. Still refusing to look up at the screen, he asked, "Is it over now?"
"They're both still naked," L said, analyzing the place, feeling his own dick harden at your bare figure, panting and sweating as Light got off you and laid next to you, throwing the towel somewhere insignificant.
"Well then?" Soichiro said.
"Well what?"
"You made me watch my son... doing- doing stuff with his girlfriend," Soichiro said in a shaky voice, his hands behind his back to avoid pulling his hair out in frustration. "What have you understood from this?"
"What I've understood?" L said thoughtfully, his gaze unconsciously reaching his growing bulge. "Your son is quite romantic, I suppose."

cw: semi cheating trope, cucking, doggy style, masturbation (m) spitting, katsuki being really mean in this one, slapping.
this felt dirty and wrong, izuku thought. the way he felt about you was greater than his past crush for ochaco, yet here he was. the obsessive and adoration he had for you was no match, but here he was.
here he was pressing down on katsuki’s head as he went down on izuku, him slightly gagging on his length and pushing away. “fuck– you getting too rough, deku.” he spits, glaring up at him. “calm down this time.”
he nods, eyes filled with lust and his judgement clouded. he didnt notice the two missed calls you had given him, nor the four missed messages. his fingers trail through katsuki’s head, yet his balls lurched when katsuki licked his lips.
“zuku, what are you—“ you say, opening the door and looking at your phone. until your eyes meet the two, katsuki on his knees while izuku sits on his bed, manspreading.
both of their hearts thump, a cold nervous sweat on both of their faces and hands as you just stand there, bewildered. your heart clenches, feeling sadness, but more of disappointment and rage filling your veins.
“baby—“ izuku starts, but gets cut off by you.
“nah nah, fuck you!” you shout, turning around and slamming the door. it had to be about nine in the evening, so everyone was already downstairs chilling out.
it took you about a month or two to settle your nerves, feeling rage and betrayal from him just getting his dick sucked from his childhood friend.
a friend who also just so happen to be friends with you, surprisingly. thats what threw you off, katsuki just so suddenly became friends with you and wasn’t completely an ass to you. you at first thought nothing of it, but now it made sense.
your mind stops thinking, your ears and eyes being drawn to the message ping on your phone. izuku had texted, asking to meet in his dorm to talk.
should you even fucking bother? maybe. let hear what this bitch had to say.
“so— first i want to say im so sorry.” he starts, hands on his bouncing knees and eyes darting around. he picked at his nails, katsuki having to pull his hands apart. that only added salt to the wound, because what the fuck was he doing here?
“and why does bakugou have to be here for this?” you ask, growing impatient and tapping your foot. he looks up to your eyes, the glare you gave was mean, hurting his heart.
the “because he has involvement with this— its not what you think!” he quickly says, hands up in defense and looking to you and katsuki.
“so..”
“uhum–“ he tried, swallowing thickly and takes a deep breath. “so.. you remember when i told you i was bi, right? before we got together?” he starts, knee bouncing faster harder. you nod, eyes raised in a “yeah, no shit.” look. “well.. kacchan and i had been talking since we made up, and we started to like you as well.”
youre feet stop tapping, heart stopping and you start a glare. “hold on! and we started to like you and it kinda separated us for a couple weeks, thats when me and you were first dating and we had that big fight that you had to separate.” he rambles, katsuki flicking him to stay on topic.
“and uh, me and kacchan made up again after you both became friends and we wanted to ask you in person if you could give a threeway a shot!”
you just stare, looking at the both of them and watching katsuki just lean back. that made your blood boil, the way hes just acting all casual.
katsuki notices, manspreading himself and staring right back at you. “if you got something to say, say it.” he states, testing to see who and what you were.
you say nothing, biting your tongue and looking back to the green haired boy. “that’s absolutely bullshit and you know it.” you say, finding that shit unbelievable and quite frankly, offensive. “you mean to tell me that you both were fucking on the down low and then i just peaked both of your interest, you got together with me and all of a sudden you want a three way?”
“aint that what he just said?” katsuki finally speaks and chimes in, eyebrow raised.
you feel like a snapping point, like your ready to reach across and slap the fuck out of him for even speaking to you at all. “you can shut the fuck up, baku—“
at that point, he had heard enough between you and izuku. he reaches out, grabbing you by your throat and giving a slight choke. your thighs quiver, it being an instant trigger for you to become a mess.
“kacc—!”
“nah, you took too long with your fuckin’ delivery.” he says, hand groping a breast and leading you to the bed. “youre the one who told me this the shit she likes, so i’m fuckin’ her.”
and if those words werent a trigger for you, it was for izuku. his cock grows hard, his shorts becoming a restriction to his length and he groans.
katsuki’s lips crash onto yours, him effortlessly taking a hand and freeing himself from his boxers and tapping it against your skin. “you want it, dont you?” he teases, ripping the shorts off of your skin and rubbing circles into your clit.
his hand pries open your mouth, his eyes lowering. “open.” he says, curling his lips and spitting into your wet cavern. he looks over to izuku, izuku already freeing himself and spitting on his own length. “you see that there?” he points, whispering in your ear.
“thats what he does when he thinks about me fucking you like some common whore.” he reveals, chuckling in your ear. “he been waitin’ for this, to see me fuck you relentless and he watch.” he says again, slapping your clit and pinching it.
“zuku—“ your voice tries, sounding hoarse and katsuki focusing on your face now. he lands a somewhat hard slap to it, forcing you to look only at him.
“dont look at him, why are you looking at him? whos about to fuck you?” katsuki presses, fingers digging their way into your walls. “huh? whos about to fuck this pussy hm?”
you stutter, the intrusion being too much and you claw at his skin. “katsuki! shit—“
“yeah, thats right. im the one fucking you, not him. he assures, fingers finished from curling inside onto your gspot and forcing themselves into your mouth. “you dont get to cum, yet, either.”
you suckle on his fingers, eyes rolling back from the sheer force of his demands and tossing. he flips you over, face in the mattress and him grabbing you by your hips. shit, could you do this? doggy you cant even handle with izuku.
you try to look up, only catching a glimpse of izuku fisting his cock and his face flushed.
you squeal, feeling the heat from katsuki’s tip slip inside of your walls and hitting that spot already. the spot that hadnt been touched in however long you and izuku hadnt talked. “fuck, i can see what you mean by her being a tight space.” katsuki groans, hand gripping a hip and shoulder blade.
he starts immediately thrusting at such a violent place, but you knew he was going to be like that. “some fucking girlfriend you fuckin’ had!” katsuki laughs, his hips snapping into yours and balls slapping at your clit. “just some fucking whore that needed a good dick!”
you moan into the mattress, drooling against it and eyes rolling harder to your skull. you clawed at the sheets, hearing izuku lose himself in his fist as he watched his fuck buddy, his childhood best friend fuck his pretty girlfriend.
you choke, his cock angled at a different spot that had never been used or touched. “oh shit, you havent fucked her this way either, huh?” he grins, his hips angling themselves better and he spits onto the curve of your back. “yeah? he doesnt fuck you good like i do, huh?” he asks, a harsh slap to your ass.
“no— no no fuck!” you moan, going stupid from the intrusion, the sheer force of his hips alone making you go dumb. your tummy clenched, feeling your clit throb more than anything until it hurt.
“fuck, shes about to cum, deku.” he growls in a praise, his palms pressing down on your lower back as he slams his bodyweight into the thrusts.
you squeal, that coil tightening and hearing izuku lose himself in his own orgasm at the same time. you had missed hearing him cum, you both usually always have a simultaneous orgasm together at the same time.
“cum in her— breed her pussy please, kacchan.” he pleads, his hand shines with his seed and sweat that came from fucking his cock.
katsuki loses himself in a matter of time, approximately two minutes after you both had came and it was all because of how good you felt and that izuku just wanted to watch you get fucked by his childhood friend. his own rival.
