I present to you, PFP of Karma, her basic info and her lore.

Basic Info

Name- Karma

Weight- 169

Clothes- Karma usually wears her Mando armor (seen above) and black sweats with dark brown boots.

Lore

Karma was raised by Mandalorians, her parents were Mandalorians, but disappeared when she was young. Karma was born with 2 colored hair, blonde and brown, heterochromia eyes, green and yellow, and showing Blaschko lines. She was often teased so around the age of 8 she started to fist fight everyone who made fun of her looks after the ghosts of her parents offered advice, unfortunately it would be the very last time she saw her parents.

Karma did get in trouble for fighting kids before she told them if the adults weren't going to help her she'd help herself, and the talks stopped.

At 13, Karma was undefeated by most people she fought. The only ones she couldn't, were those responsible to make sure everyone was ready to start bounty hunting for the group. Though that day fatefully came.

When she turned 18 she went into the ring to face the Guardians. She easily defeated all of them, except for the last one who proved to be a slight challenge, but she ultimately won. She got her armor, requesting it to be a male helmet with a vocoder that made her voice gender neutral, wanting to confuse her enemies, which sometimes worked. Her coloring came from the paints that were rarely used, cotton candy pink and blue. Karma was ready to start bounty hunting. She was really good at it too, able to get bounties in quickly and effectively.

When she turned 24, she returned from a bounty mission and her group was gone. It was as if everyone was taken on the spot. She mourned everyone before going to a very slowly growing planet where she still did bounties, but with her home base more hidden, she wasn't worried about it being destroyed.

On one of her bounties, she met another bounty hunter who was after her bounty as well. After a combat battle, the two agreed to take the bounty together and split the reward. They did this successfully.

The Bounty Hunter wanted to learn more about Karma so asked if they could meet outside of their jobs, surprised to find out they lived on the same planet.

Karma went on their first meeting in her armor while the other party was in a nice dress. She introduced herself as Andro, which shocked Karma a bit, assuming that Andro was male. Andro then explained the reason she was doing bounties was to get the body she wanted, which unfortunately, had to be done on another planet which not only is expensive, it also takes a while to get there. Karma listened thoughtfully to Andro's story and smiled, glad there were people out in the universe that cared.

Andro and Karma soon started to date, but it took a year after they started to date for Karma to finally show Andro her face.

==============

"I don't understand why you keep the helmet on... Sometimes it feels like you're staring into my soul wanting me to die. I don't even know what you sound like! How do I know that you aren't changing out with people?!" Andro expressed with sadness and a bit of anger, her eyes were on the bed sheets between her legs, then over at Karma, widening. She had messed up. "I'll... I'll go". It was their one year anniversary and this was crossing a line Andro knew well about.

Andro stood up, and started to leave. She reached the door before she felt something warm against her wrist which made her stop.

"Please stay." It was a feminine voice, not the normal gender neutral vocoder of Karma's helmet.

Andro turned around and teared up her beautiful girlfriend stood there, in shock, sadness and horror, but without her Mandalorian helmet and gloves, them resting in the bed.

"I'm.... I'm sorry." She whispered before Andro pulled her close. "I never wan-"

"Shhh... It's ok... It's ok my sweet treat." Andro's voice was soft, but something chocked her throat as she was finally able to kiss her girlfriend's forehead. "You're beautiful. I don't want anyone to tell you differently." She looked down at her heterochromia eyes, there was something mischievous about them, despite them beginning to water.

The next thing Andro knew is the two were on the bed making out.

==============

After that, the two were more prone to going out, Karma slowly not wearing her armor, but still wearing long sleeved clothes and using her cape to cover her head except for a slit for her eyes.

For their 2nd year anniversary, Andro was planning to propose, but both were weary due to reports of a local mob becoming more violent for supposedly no reason.

The two were walking through a flower field with a few very walked on trails, making it clear those who walked cared about the floral life that lived there. Large bushes spotted here and there in the field, and an occasional huge tree. The couple were smiling and laughing.

A nearby bush was rustling, and without a second thought, Andro drew her pistol and shot at the noise as a trandoshan stumbled through the bush, right into the blaster's bolt. It hit him square in the chest, him falling over into the grass as a few other sentient creatures came out with wide eyes and raising their hands, but informing the two about their horrendous boss and needing to leave.

Instead of the two leaving, they requested to see the boss, and when they were granted that permission...

==============

Karma walked in with her new normal wear. Her eye slit the only thing showing any identifying features, her heterochromia eyes and showing Blaschko lines were the most obvious. The two creatures led her and Andro through the town and down an alley way that turned into stares, and at the bottom were two armed guards and a door, a big insignia covering the door in purple and red. One of their escorts flashed a card then the door opened.

The inside sounded like a bustling city, but looked like the underside of a house. They had to snake their way through the crowd, sandstone pillers holding up the ceiling, carvings being filled with some sort of plaster that could be easily seen as they walked by. Andro and Karma held hands, not willing to let go of each other.

The four had arrived at a giant metal door, the same insignia being more vibrant than the one outside. One of the people opened it. They walked in and the two lovers kneeled down, bowing slightly before looking at the mob boss. It was another reptilian species, but definitely not a Trandoshan. Whatever he was, he was fat, snacking on grapes, staring dully at the two.

One of their escorts went and whispered what happened, his expression hardened. He sat up straight and waved, someone quickly grabbing the plate he put his grapes on, the clacking of chains making Karma tense a bit.

"You killed one of my goons, what brings you here in front of me?" He asked with a booming, enraged voice.

"Forgiveness sir." Andro responded level headed, bowing down. "He had spooked us and without warning I fired." Karma glanced over at her lover with concern, but Andro wasn't looking, her eyes closed. "I ask for your forgiveness and we will pay for his life in any way we can."

There was silence in the room. Karma has leaned forward a bit to mimic Andro's bow, but she was entirely wary of what would happen.

"I decline your request human. You killed a member now it's your turn to pay with your life, but since you had the gull to ask me for something, I will give you until the moon is at the highest point in the sky to flee this planet, if we find you here after then, you will die."

Karma was about to get up, but Andro squeezed her leg before speaking, "We accept your offer graciously. Thank you for the opportunity of life." With that, Andro got up, and made Karma follow, the building now buzzing softly with what just transpired. Thousands of eyes tract them leaving.

Karma wasn't happy, but left with Andro as they went to pack...

They were nearly done packing as the moon was starting to rise.

"I need to go grab some stuff from the kitchen. I will be back princess." Karma said before gently kissing Andro on the lips. "Always loved your lipstick, maybe I can steal it on the next planet." She joked softly, gently wiping her thumb over Andro's lips as if to attempt to take some of the pomegranate colored lipstick for herself.

"In your dreams sweet treat." Andro teased back before Karma left with a wide smile.

In the kitchen, Karma opened a secret compartment that held something dear to her, a bunny-like stuffed animal from her home planet. Carefully, she got up and headed back to the room with that and a few plates.

Creaking open the door, Karma took a few steps in, smiling before looking up. Her heterochromia eyes widened as she dropped the plates and the stuffed animal. The plates broke as they shattered to the floor, cutting up the fabric of the stuffed animal a bit, but that didn't matter.

(TW: Gore, skip to the end of this section of squeamish)

In front of Karma was Andro, propped up with her back against the wall by their only window in their room. Andro sat there, holding two things, her own still beating heart in her right hand, and a black rose in her left. Her heart was trying to pump blood, but that wasn't happening. What was, was blood softly gushing out of it, along with blood pooling out of the human's chest where her heart used to be.

Karma ran over and kneeled by her, tears streaming down her face as she noticed Andro was barely alive, a single tear drizzling down the side of her face before her head slightly leaned forward, as if to be thankful Karma was here in her last seconds as life left her body.

==============

Afterwards, Karma put Andro back together before building a fire and burning her body, noticing that the moon had just risen from the horizon and started to plan revenge.

This would be something she would get a year later, but it started with Karma signing herself up to join the mob, wearing her Mandolorian gear instead. She fought her way to the top, beating everyone that was pitted against her. This was something done in the mob to see where you'd be best, but when Karma was placed, she was placed way lower than she was supposed to, the mob boss being suspicious of her. Many people were upset about this, but not knowing the reason she wasn't promoted higher.

It didn't matter to Karma. Over the next year, she rose through the ranks, gaining a group of people who started to follow her. The Mandalorian having a secret code phrase to indicate those with her.

Once the mob boss finally went on his "yearly mission", Karma struck. She staged a coup with most of the mob, easily overthrowing those who outranked her and waiting for him to return, already enacting changes to the mob.

Then the mob boss came back. He found the symbol was repainted and the place was clean and organized. He arrived in his room to Karma sitting on his chair, staring to the left. His close friends were being held against their will in a line. When he went further in, they were dragged out and the door was closed behind them.

It was just him and Karma now. Karma stared at him, a kiss mark in pomegranate colored lipstick on the left side of her helmet. She then got up and beat him until he couldn't move, before executing him with Andro's blaster.

Karma dragged his body out, tossing it in front of the crowd and demanding those who wish to live leave if they were a part of the old mob boss's rule and catered to his corruption, otherwise they'd be killed. Most left, a couple stayed and were executed exactly like the mob boss.

Karma became the new mob boss, and everything was fine for a few months. Then the Separatists attacked a scouting squad Karma had ordered to check out a mysterious spaceship that had landed.

During this attack, the group radioed it into Karma and she was quick to get to the location, her bringing along a few others. Though when she got there with the others, she found the squad dead with blaster wounds, dead clones and droids.

Something moved from her peripherals and she raised her blasters and turned around to see a clone with his hands up, a few others near him with theirs up as well.

Karma was outraged and demanded to know the situation, not sparing to mention that their lives would be wasted if she wasn't told. That's when she found out that the group was first attacked by droids, then clones. The clones had gotten confused from a miscommunication about who to shoot and during the firefight it was hard to see who shot first.

The armored woman was filled to the brim with emotions. She demanded to speak to whoever is in charge and when she was refused, she shot a clone's shoulder and demanded again, stating she would hit his head next. She was granted permission before discussing it with a jedi, who apologized for those who died and agreed to try to get her voice heard to leave the planet alone.

For a while, it was a work in progress. Karma having the clones stay in a certain area and refusing them to access any of the planet. Her having ordered her mob to check the planet carefully and more battle training just in case.

Karma watched the clones carefully until they were approved of the planet being left alone. The Republic did offer an alliance, which Karma reluctantly agreed with due to it being the only way the clones would be forced to leave, but check in every so often.

Things having calmed down since then, but Karma is now on edge with everything, being more caring of her mob and hating almost everything that isn't on her planet. She still does bounties here and there, but mainly stays on her planet to help protect them if any Separatist forces strike again.

Hi, glad to see you're doing well! For the gamer!Xiao hcs, how about him being a Genshin streamer or just a regular gamer, and genshin!reader is his favorite character?

THATS SO CUTE ASDGFKLDGH MY TIME HAS COME

alright going to scream with this one

I have to update my masterlist with these soon

he's probably one to focus more on weapons and strategy than characters, imo

he's not a metaslave, I think, because he's quick to figure it out on his own

he doesn't really follow the pity system, but sometimes he'll wish on the limited banners if he wants specific constellations

i'm not going to automatically assume you're a five star in case you're like me and preferring to be a much-beloved four star (think benny) instead

you're worth all the stars in my heart, reader

anyway

if you are a five star, you're likely one of his first

either way, he really likes your kit

if it's something like polearm or sword or anything like his in-game kit, he'll enjoy playing it because it feels like you're helping him out

rather than feeling like he's controlling you, he feels like you're working together

if it's something else, he'll like it because it gives him a chance to learn your skills and work with you

the challenge helps get him closer to you

he doesn't like to talk about it but he's really really attached to you and you only

he could honestly stare at you for hours

sometimes he'd take a party of just you to your favorite spot in-game (or perhaps his) and just kinda gaze at you

he has gotten teary-eyed because you don't really exist and can't give him that cute smile or put crystalflies in his hair with a soft and loving touch yea im projecting what are you going to do? cry about it?

he loves your voice in every dub but most likely uses that of his native language solely so that he can agree with you or react to your weather lines

he thinks your idles are really cute and he hates accidentally interrupting you

he loves listening to your voicelines

he wants to learn everything about you

literally he raced up friendship ranks

he got sad once he unlocked all your lines

he uses your namecard and pfp

he absolutely swooned when you said ascension and friendship lines aloud

is constantly promising to never leave you benched ever

literally mentally apologizes when he has to take you off the team

same

when you die he fights harder to avenge you with the other characters

you've managed to worm your way into his heart, and eventually you're constantly on his mind

he initially thought it was for strategy

now it's just lore stuff

when he's upset, he thinks of you and how you might react

he's constantly searching for you x reader fics because he wants to feel close to you

hes also constantly getting frustrated because he disagrees with others' characterization because his idea of you is so specific

eventually he'll take a step back and realize that his specific idea of you might not have been right? hes a lil stubborn we know this

his friends tend to tease him about it and he hates it

whatever the case, he loves you a lot and he hates to go anywhere without you

he's grateful every day that he was able to get you and start this journey

and perhaps, somewhere in the world of the game, you are too

Check In Tag

I was tagged by @curiousb! 🥰

Thank you for the tag, I was intrigued by this one when I spotted it doing the rounds. I’m going to put my answers under a the Keep Reading belt as I’ve decided to write a novel again! 🤣📝

Why did you choose your URL?

A couple of schoolfriends called me Rurple when I was in my teenage years because I used to dye my hair a reddy purple colour (hence Rurple, but it’s better than Pred! 🤣) I saw other Simmers using the ‘playsSims’ tagline and I didn’t have any other ideas. I’m glad I used it as I can now use the addition for my CC Finds blog which is RurpleFindsCC.

How long have you been on Tumblr?

RurplePlaysSims has been on Tumblr since February 2021. 

My RurpleFindsCC blog has been on here since I decided to separate my CC from my main blog which I'm a lot happier about, which I’ve done since September 2021. 

I’ve got another blog on here which I’ve had for a few years but hardly ever use (not sure I know the username and password..) but that was mostly to reblog BBC Sherlock memes and funny things. 

Do you have a queue tag?

See now, I’m not quite sure what this means. I am guilty of having quite a long queue (it’s 76 posts long atm!) but is this to do with the mass post editor to move them to the queue? If so, I don’t use it. 

Anything thing that is an actual CQ post and therefore part of the story, gets written up and then moved to the queue chronologically. That’s why I got so annoyed when Tumblr lost three of my posts a few months ago because when they were retrieved, I had to post them out of sync. 

I made the tags so because then it’s easier for someone to read the entire story (if they wanted to, that is some undertaking with over 1500 posts!) by just clicking the ‘Next Page’ button.

Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I’m not quite sure. I think I was bored one day and stumbled across some TS2 stories and I fell in love with them. I think it was @holleyberry’s Dossanina story which first introduced Sim stories taken with screenshots to me. 

I was already very familiar with TS2 machinima and series on YouTube as I once tried a go at making some (They are so embarrassing to watch back now as my spelling was AWFUL and I clearly had no access to a spellchecker!) I think those videos are still live and you’re welcome to laugh at my attempts of a riveting story.🤣 Just PLEASE do not judge my ability on them! 🙈 I was 13/14 years old when I was making these. I had to borrow my parent’s computer, which was a very old Windows XP and I was restricted in when I could play Sims. So the videos were very...cringe for me to watch them back. Seriously, they were awful. You can find them for yourself, no way am I tagging them here! 🙈🙈🙈

My game was so poorly organised back then, from my custom content hoarding and my Downloads folder was a DISGRACE. Nothing like the strict regime I have nowadays. 

Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Well it was originally a picture of myself but  some people made comments on how nice I look. I am AWFUL with appearance-related compliments. 🙈 It could’ve been worse I know but that’s just how I am.

So I changed it to one of the pictures I’d done with Althea Campbell, the founder from my BaCC in this challenge. 

I like how people only know me on here as a creator and who likes to issue praise where it is well deserved. I know how much people’s love of your craft/story will motivate you to do more. I know that I’d have stopped CQ ages ago if people didn’t care about it. 

As you’d see (if you’re ruthless in tracking them down!) with my TS2 attempts, nobody watched them so I gave up with no motivation to carry on, hone my craft and build a skill. 

I love to write (as the length of this post clearly says!) and I love how most of you only know me via my story and the comments I leave. 

I love that, whilst my family know I have a blog and a story on it, they won’t read it or leave comments. I’m cool with that. It gives me more freedom to write because I’m then not worried that if I write that a character does something, the people who know me might wonder if I’ve done that thing in the series. Hopefully that makes sense.

Why did you choose your header?

I chose the header after I decided to make my main blog strictly for the story and behind the scenes content for Campbell Quay BaCC. So I took a (then) current picture of the neighbourhood. 

I am never changing it as it shows how empty my neighbourhood was back then compared to now. 

What’s your post with the most notes?

Apparently, according to Tumblr Top, it is this post which was a reblog of the original post for me completing Campbell University (154 notes). 

In second place, which still gets likes and reblogs to this day, is this one where I recommend people to read the Dossanina  story I mentioned above (114 notes). 

How many mutuals do you have?

Is that when you follow a blog that follows you back? How the hell do you check this?! 🤣 

I know it’s quite a lot as whoever follows me, if they post Sims content (preferably TS2) I will nearly always follow them back in thanks. 

How many followers do you have?

I have 376 followers.

How many people do you follow?

I follow 797 blogs.

Have you ever made a shitpost?

Yes! 🤣 Just follow ‘random Jess note’ tag on my blog and you’ll see some. Beware of the ones that have ‘RANT’ as well. 

How often do you use Tumblr each day?

I’d use it in my sleep if I could. 🤣 

I have had an active queue for months now so even if I’m not looking at the site on my app or computer, I still get notifications of blogs I follow and if people leave likes or replies in my posts. 

If I’m home for the day and have nothing planned, I’m on Tumblr, either editing some new posts or backing up my story on another site.

More information soon when I get most of the story inputted. It’s taking FORVER as I have to manually copy and paste the text and pictures individually but I’m scared that my blog might be accidently(?) deleted like some Simmers have of late. 

Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

Not that I am aware of, I don’t like fights of any kind. 

I like to keep the peace. If I’ve pissed any of you off, for goodness sake tell me so I can explain or apologise! 

How do you feel about ‘You need to reblog this’ posts?

It’s a combination of tempting fate and “With all due respect, don’t tell me what to do.” 

But, in special circumstances I will reblog without question. But as a rule, I like to keep my blog for just my story content. 

Do you like tag games?

Do you really think I wrote all this out because I didn’t want to? 🤣 

I think I’ve completed all games and challenges that people have tagged me in thus far. 

Do you like ask games?

Did you not read the previous answer? Ask away. 

I try my best with WCIFs but I’m not perfect.

Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?

Well I mostly see Simblr-Tumblr and in my eyes they are the following:

@deedee-sims

@plumbtales

@lesyasun

@linacheries

@veranka-downloads

@pixeldolly

@fanseelamb

@mdpthatsme and so many more!

Do you have a crush on a mutual?

No, but every Simmer I meet on Tumblr are always very kind and supportive which means the world to me.

I’m going to tag anyone who wants to have a go! 🥰📝

[megamassikalove]

Check In Tag

Got tagged by @elvisgrace! Thanks for thinking of me!

Why did you choose your url? My niece used to call me Massika, and I used it as a nickname on simssite, but it was already taken here, so I thought of stupid instagram nicknames and ended up with megamassikalove. It's so not me, I'm such an introvert, but I never planned sharing or uploading stuff, so how cares…lol.

How long have you been on tumblr? Since 2018.

Do you have a queue tag? No, I don't plan posts.

Why did you start your blog in the first place? I just wanted to follow my favorite creators.

Why did you choose your icon/pfp? That's Phaedra Deer! She's a creation of the Good Genes Challenge. I only have bad pictures of her, but I think she's so pretty.

Why did you choose your header? It's an ostrich. I have a soft spot for them. My friends and family make fun of me for it :D

What’s your post with the most notes? That will be the EP11 Overalls for kids (612 notes). It's also the most downloaded.

How many mutuals do you have? I have no idea…

How many followers do you have? 572

How many people do you follow? 135 simblrs and one is TS4.

Have you ever made a shitpost? Yep, check out '#ts2 fail'. One was picked up by non-simmers seeing a scene of American Psycho in it.

How often do you use tumblr each day? Too often.

Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? No, I only argument with people I look in the eye(s).

How do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts? I don't need to do anything you tell me, is my first reaction.

Do you like tag games? I do!

Do you like ask games? Yes.

Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous? I don't think you should strive for famous, just do what you love.

Do you have a crush on a mutual? Not a mutual, because it's TS4, but I'm in ♥ with @rusticottage's Tulipa. (And she gets so much hate for being fat, crying!).

Should I tag someone? Consider yourself tagged if you haven't done and want to.

Idk if you do with George but if yes 148 with him please ?

bestie my pfp on main is mr. saturday himself, Of Course i’ll do him

148. "I think you forgot to lock the door, that means anyone could walk right in and see you like this."

gr x reader

He had been gone for a while. You knew better than to rush this, knowing what today meant to him. So instead of complaining or fussing, you schemed and prepared.

His race-worn suit was gross, stained with sweat and rain and champagne. You could still taste the vibrant bubbles on your tongue, his solid post-podium kiss having been a heady cocktail of salvia, sweat, and booze. A perfect combination of him.

You settled for one of the spare, pre-worn and washed race suits that were kept on hand, hanging on the tiny clothing rack for just-in-cases. He wouldn’t need many more of them, not if the worst-kept secret in the paddock was accurate, anyways.

You stripped down to your underwear, the navy set chosen earlier that day a vibrant contrast to the bright whites and a compliment to the smooth blue stripes on the suit. You left the suit unzipped to your waist and settled onto the couch, leaning back into the plush cushions as the din of the soaking rain and celebrating team continued beyond the walls of the small driver’s room.

You let your thoughts drift to the night before, of celebrating the qualifying results with him, shared movements frenzied and frantic, like neither of you could shake the incredible amount of adrenaline that had resulted from his fast flying lap.

You caress your own skin like he would, goosebumps erupting thanks to the cold air in the room. The race suit provides some comfort, the too-long arms and legs providing a stark coziness to the electrifying arousal furling low in your gut.

You could faintly hear his footsteps finally heading down the hall, the cadence of his steps familiar and welcome. His voice is muffled through the door as he speaks to someone far off. “No, I’m all good. We’re going to head back to the hotel. I’ll be back in the morning! Bye guys, mega job today.”

The door knob twists and he slips in sideways, shutting the door snugly, quickly behind him. He rests his head against the door frame and takes a deep breath, his shoulders heaving with his inhale and exhale as he takes a moment for himself.

Then he turns around and sees you. His smile widens as his gaze rakes up your body.

"You know love, I think you forgot to lock the door, that means anyone could’ve walked right in and seen you like this."

“But they didn’t,” you reason, warming under his staring eyes.

His hand flicks the lock on the door and the echoing sound is the only thing that can be heard in the room. He unzips his rain jacket and tosses it aside, pulling his shirt over his head in a quick motion. “Take it off.”

“I think it looks good on me. Don’t you? Maybe I can take your place driving next year.” You run a fingernail up the zipper and grin at him. He always loves a challenge.

“Off. It’s the last time I’ll ask nicely.”

You barely have time to remove your arms from the sleeves before he’s moving, reaching to tug at the legs and work the material down your hips. He tosses the suit to the floor and moves to lean over you, the tension in his body already causing him to tremble.

You reach for his shoulders and pull him down against you, his height dwarfing yours as he arranges himself comfortably on top of you.

He dips his head into the crook of your neck, inhaling deeply before pressing an open-mouthed kiss to the spot below your jaw he knows you love. “Need you,” he whispers, voice raw with the mixture of the day’s emotions. “Please, love, ‘m gonna lose it if I don’t.”

You arch against him, baring your neck to his lips, a consenting sigh rolling from your lips.

He surges up to kiss your lips, tongues twisting in a hot tangle. He’s gone just as quickly, kissing his way down your chest.

“Look so pretty in blue,” he murmurs.

“You think-” you start, the thought lost as he kisses down the exposed swell of your breast, over and across to the other, day-old stubble scratching at your sensitive skin. “You think they make silver lingerie?”

He chuckles and you can see the tightly-wound adrenaline ease from his posture. “We’ll find you some. Maybe something in teal. I’m sure we’ll have another podium to celebrate - maybe more than one.” He sucks a bruise just below your rib cage, one that you’ll likely have until the following race week.

Your hips rise when he continues lower and he shakes his head, teasing his lips at the lace-lined elastic of your panties.

He looks up at you from between your legs, eyes bright under his absurdly long eyelashes. “You’re gorgeous,” he says.

“Takes one to know one,” you quip, curling a hand under his jaw gently, scratching at the coarse hair growing there.

He finally reaches for your underwear, pulling them off quickly before resuming his position between your legs. “I thought about this,” he says softly, leaning in to press a kiss to the tender skin of your inner thigh. “Up there, I thought about this. You.”

“On the podium?”

“Yeah.” He lets his nose graze your outer folds and you hear him inhale deeply. “All I wanted was this.” He dips his tongue in slowly, firmly, and the suddenness of his caress has your body moving to meet his mouth.

“George.”

He pulls away, his tongue peeking out to lick your slick from his lips. “Can tell you need it just as bad as I do. It turned you on too.”

You nod, not trusting your mouth with the words.

“Tell me,” he growls before diving back in.

“Was — oh God, right there — was so hot seeing you up there. Got so wet. I like watching you drive b-but I love watching you on the podium.”

“Wanna make you cum,” he says, words muddled against your skin, sounds obscene in the small room. “Come on, give me another prize. I’ve earned it.”

You relent, giving up, giving in, letting him consume you.

1: Why did you choose your url?

When I decided to dump @/SiberianSpring (just the url... my City of Heroes main character will always have iterations running around), I went back to an older internet user name I'd abandoned way back when. I grabbed Aisteach on AO3, then found it wasn't available on Tumblr. Oops. 😝 A little Gaeilge wordplay and I ended up with FiadhAisteach.

Fiadh, depending on context, can be a noun or adjective, independent or prefixed and has several meanings, including: deer, wild, wilderness, outsized, large, respect, and esteem.

Aisteach is an adjective meaning strange, weird, queer, surprising, peculiar, odd, and/or wonderful.

2: Any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

Just @live-creatively, where I dump “all the creative/crafty/inspiration guides & how-to posts & re-blogs [I find] so I have some hope of finding them again.” Other than that I just dump everything in this one spot... I barely remember to use @live-creatively; I can’t imagine trying to keep up with a host of side blogs.

3: How long have you been on tumblr?

Technically since 2014, but there was a two-year gap in there when I was inactive. Then I resurfaced when I needed to connect with DA fanfic writers & artists, and here we are.

4: Do you have a queue tag?

Yes. rifts in the queue

5: Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I had a few friends from LJ days who popped their heads onto BookFace long enough to direct me to their blogs here.

6: Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I change it up everyone once in a while, but it’s usually just one of my photographs. Right now it’s a monarch butterfly photo I took, at Monarch Grove Sanctuary, on my honeymoon.

7: Why did you choose your header?

Again, I change it up every few months, and it’s frequently one of my own photos. This one is obviously a spiderweb on a small branch. It’s damp with mist from South Falls at Silver Falls State Park.

8: What’s your post with the most notes?

Grandma Kathy’s Hard Toffee Recipe (I used JetBlackCode.com to find out). *does a little happy chair dance*

9: How many mutuals do you have?

145, if I counted right according to tumblr, though I’m sure some of them aren’t active anymore.

10: How many followers do you have?

264.

11: How many people do you follow?

881. Believe it, or not, I curate my dash quite meticulously. Even so, my dashboard is a wonderful, chaotic mess, & I love it. Many of these are inactive friends that have moved on to other social media sites, but I refuse to “unfriend/unfollow” here or are organization's blogs that I like to follow for their news/updates. I also have 50, or so, blogs that I “Get Notifications” for, so even when I’m distracted by other shinies I don’t miss too much.

12: Have you ever made a shitpost?

Probably... possibly. It depends on your definition of shitpost.

13: How often do you use tumblr each day?

Probably way too much. It’s where I turn when “I’m on hold on the phone, while also waiting for a customer to actually ask a question so I can’t actually get work accomplished,” which happens way more frequently than you might think. I also pop over when I’ve got just a minute before something else is starting and I can’t let myself focus, but I know someone else will be interrupting my “TumblrTime,” so I'm not “wasting time.”

On non-work days & evenings... I’m on & off constantly, between fics and/or chapters of long fics.

14: Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

No. I try to stay out of drama and I tend to run from fights. Confrontation is challenging for me, even online.... hell, even friendly confrontation is nerve-wracking. Though I do my best, in that case. Life is too short, and we all have better ways of spending our time.

15: How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

Fastest way to get me to NOT repost something. Every once in a very long while I might reblog one, but it’s despite the enjoinder, not because of it.

16: Do you like tag games?

YES. I love tag games. Sometimes I’m bad about doing them in a timely fashion, but I love them.

17: Do you like ask games?

Also yes. Though I’m not great about sending them, I love reading about people’s OCs... and other people!

18.Do you have a crush on a mutual?

I definitely have platonic crushes. I love all of my mutuals and followers, and I’m grateful to have you all around. 🤗💖

I think I’m late to this so... tagging anyone who wants to! (and tag me so I can read your responses!)

Episode #3: "i told him i loved sicko mode( which i dont)" - bryce

Today no one has been online so our tribe has been quiet. But we have our alliance together so thats good.

John is gone? Good. I don't want to work with anyone who chooses Boston Rob as an avatar. No thank you.

Okay so this challenge is interesting...it really could be anybody's game. Luckily I know Brian is really good with music so I'm hoping that will come in handy for us. Other than that who tf knows. I just hope we stay safe.

This music video challenge is really hard. Hopefully we could pull another win and stay safe again. It would really suck if we would lose this challenge.

so I just woke up. like ~ 6-7 hours after the challenge announcement. AND THESE FREAKS ARE ALREADY DONE. WTF LET ME HELP.

no no. For real. I am so happy, I am not used to a tribe working this well together in challenges. I am SO SO HAPPY

We actually just murdered the challenge. We finished it in like less than 12 hours. We are beasts at these challenges. I just really hope that we got them all right because that gives us a great shot at winning. Even if we lose I'm in a great spot with Four of a Kind and Nicole is an obvious first boot. But I would still love to keep this win streak going for a little while.

I swear, I go offline for one night... I come back and literally EVERY song is done... I mean go on carry me to immunity thats fine.

So the last couple of days has been quiet since we did win immunity again, but I do have some tea to spill in here, and I love spilling tea hehe...

So I got nothing from my trip to Wonderland, but that's OK!  I'd rather get nothing then get something bad for my game.  In addition to that, though, the more juicy ish is that Sharky told me that Maynor is trying to get a group together of the 4 men not including me (or Nicole, obviously).  He probably already succeeded in that, but I do know, based on what Sharky said, that their first target would be Nicole followed up by me.  "It's not that Maynor doesn't like you, because he does, but he just thinks this is the group."  Maynor better hope that I don't swap with him because I do not mind having to flip on his ass and send him home at this point.  I'd love to stick to tribal lines and think I could find comfort in them if we swap, but I also literally don't care if I wasn't included in an alliance.

So while I know I have Sharky with my back and Maynor not with it at all, that still leaves Charlie, Nicole, and Dennis.  Nicole doesn't really talk much to anyone, so I'm kinda just gonna sneak in over the next 24 hours and make sure to solidify something with her so that I could work with her if need be.  Dennis and I talk from time to time, but I think if I can play on the fact that we both play League more, then I can solidify something with him... and Charlie and I talked about something between the two of us already, so I feel good there, but he didn't warn me about the Maynor alliance thing, so I know he doesn't trust me fully yet (which, might I add, just shows how I have to keep him at a distance).  I feel like if we can win this challenge and potentially swap next round, I will so amazing... because I might swap onto a tribe with a bunch of amazing people that will help me kill some of these annoying hoes on my current tribe (I'm looking @ you, Maynor).  My tribe's kinda hard to talk to, so I really need this... I need Marie... Godt... help me tf out because I am DYINNNGGG.....

I worked on videos 2 and 3 last night and almost finished it except like missing 2 songs. When i woke this morning, tribe finished all of video 1 and the 2 that i was missing. I really like our tribe, its really active and they work hard on the challenges. Going to be sad when there is a tribe swap, hopefully i get some of my alliance with me or Brian. Atleast someone i could work with.

Our spreasheets is being locked. I hope that we have the right answers. I really want to win again so hopefully we win immunity again.

Soooo I woke up and the tribe had finished our challenge before I even got to contribute....annoying because now if we lose I’ll be booted for not helping. Still I’m having fun even though I really only talk to Dennis and Charlie.

We won. Again. I wish I had something more interesting to say but I'm in a majority alliance, on a physically dominant tribe, I know who has the idol, and I'm feeling super comfortable. The only thing that worries me is an impending swap. In that situation idk what I would do…

O M G. We won by 1 point. I literally died and came back. Im so happy that we are safe again. Only thing is I’m nervous about us being ‘recommended’ to be online tomorrow. Maybe its nothing and I’m looking into it too much. Lets hope the swap is after one more vote. But who knows cuz it could be swapped into 3 tribes of 5.

okay so i forgot to mention but nathan has vote spy so wooh. also so i found a potion today and instead of being loyal and smart and gifting it to nathan since he hadnt guessed yet. i took it for myself and now have to wait another day to see if i get sth new. maybe itll work out maybe not. but we won tribal so um wooh. i kind of carried but im pretty sure i also put the wrong ellie goulding song so uh give and take NNN. still love nathan, nick is fun when hes on, annabelle talks for like 1 minute at a time but shes busy so hope we connect more, jayden... ignores me also i told him i loved sicko mode( which i dont) but his pfp was astroworld.. close enough. they were talking about rap in the chat so i changed my picture to amine and kevin abstract to try to get their attention but did not succeed KDAJFHKAJD one day ill bond…

YAY WE WON!!! I hate selfie scavenger hunt. Ill get more in depth when there's you know... actual depth to get into... safety is fun but I dont have confessional material right now. Also HAHA KEATON YOU GOT A VOTE TOO (sticks tongue out)

I didn't even do the challenge and I feel like I'm going home because I've been really busy and barely active so I'm really sad. Hopefully I can get people like Matt or BC to save me.

Our tribe are such kings, yet another win!! Despite the happiness of being safe, I am kinda worried. If our entire tribe makes the merge it just makes us targets, and honestly I don't see the point. Nicole isn't really online much and from what I can gather it doesn't seem like anyone is closely allied with her.

Yes, what I'm saying is that we're considering, let's say, "Not putting our best effort" into this challenge. Dennis and I have talked about it already, and I do think it's for the best. You only have to look at the healers in HvHvH to see why it's not a good idea to always win!

I hope it's not a live trivia challenge. Cos I love those and it will suck if I have to not try my best on it.

One point... really? I had to log off because I needed to be up early in the morning. There are two people that did absolutely nothing for the challenge. They had 24 hours to do at least SOMETHING, and then we would have won. But no.

tbh the complete lack of giving a fuck on my tribe has left me super demotivated. I'm sick of staying up until 1am every night for this while others do fuck all. we're voting Marie because she's never around and hasn't contributed significantly to any challenge yet. sorry if you were expecting something more exciting than that.

so we lost the challenge. BY ONE FUCKING POINT. Like what is the point?? i slaved for ages looking for those videos, doing both videos 1 and 2 and some of 3. like hello tribe? please pull your weight? or like? I want you all gone? This vote thankfully should have a straightforward result, like marie is basically non existent and doesn't really try. The transcontinental trio have basically come to that consensus that it'll be Marie, so like it should be because we have a majority. Im praying for a swap HONESTLY.

I was driving home from Maine so I’m super glad the guys pulled through and won this one since I fell on ice and I’m in a stupid amount of pain and I didn’t want to potentially be voted out when I’m hurting this bad so whenever these are released seriously seriously thank you to the 4 of you that got all of it done you’re all amazing

Im a little nervous tonight for the semi-live challenge after tribal tonight but also more nervouse that it isnt a challenge by a possible 3 tribe swap

BC quits.

Pre-Jury Rites of Passage

A little mood music...

As a reminder, this is only the rites of passage for those not in the jury. The jury rites of passage will be released on winner reveal day in the afternoon, once all the jury members have voted, as a final teaser leading to the winner!

Benj - We were voted out together but I guess since we have similar names one of us had to go so the other could live…

Dennis - Why the hell do you have a santa-johnny pic as your pfp?

Lily - hi Ben! I remember talking to you when we were all on the beach together. I wasn’t’t sure if I could trust you but definitely didn’t see you as the first person to go. Good luck to you!

Madison - I wish we talked more, but someone had to go first so yeet

Benj - You gave me one hell of a fight in the redemption challenge, it was sooo close coming down to a tiebreaker

Dennis - I would’ve loved to draft you onto my tribe, but the moment you asked me not to do that and Regan wanted to draft you I kinda had a sad feeling that this might be a short Havana-Reunion :(

Lily - well, I’ve heard of you and people were always talking about how you really played hard and could be very dangerous to go. I was just glad it was me and not you. I was honestly scared to see if we would ever be on the same tribe. Good luck in everything!

Benj - I think you were the 12 year old? Thanks for switching places with me on Makonde!

Dennis - We never interacted, sorry that you went so early :(

Lily - We didn’t get to talk much while on the beach. I hope for the best for you and hope you continue to play these crazy things!

Benj - Don’t remember anything about you sorry!

Dennis - Sorry that you got voted out so early!

Lily - hi jaiden! We never really had a chance to talk and I heard a lot about how you are a crazy player. I was glad that you were gone before I would meet up with you because I have no clue how much you could have changed the game. I believe we played a game briefly together on a side season or something but honestly idk. I hope for the best for you and everything you do!

Madison - you were iconic as heck and you really deserved better but the numbers just didn't roll that way

Benj - Brian!! You did amazing on Mount Olympus, so I understand why you were inactive in this game. But I thank you since it gave me a chance to keep playing

Dennis - Sorry that you got voted out so early!

Lily - OMGGGG BRIANNNN. I almost died when I saw we were in a game together again. You are quite the strategist and comp beast, I was personally shocked to see you go this early. I seriously don’t think this game would be the same if you would have made it to merge. I really don’t know what I would have done. I probably would have been running around like a mad woman and I know you would have messed with my plans. Nothing but the best of luck to you.

Madison - ugh i wish we actually got to meet because you went out with such class and i respect it

Benj - Can’t believe you decided you wanted to quit a day after I was voted off smh

Dennis - Oh boy oh boy. I was properly sad when u asked Nick to be voted out. We had interacted pregame quite a bit and it is always refreshing to have someone in your pm’s who speaks the same language as you. I hope your life is going good and may we meet again!

Lily - well Geri. Thanks for sticking it out as long as you did. Quite the time it was. I think losing the flag challenge was kinda the right timing. I wondered if we won that challenge and made it to the tribe swap if you would have played harder and formed strategies. Or you were just done. I don’t know. But best of luck to you!

Benj - We were on a tribe but didn’t talk much or at all lol. I think you complained about leaving over an inactive aka me after results so lol. Good luck representing Kilimanjaro in France though!

Dennis - I know that one day you will make merge in a survivor <3 I hope we get to play together again soon!

Lily - hi Jacob! I don’t believe we talked? But if we did, I’m sorry. Best of luck to you!

Madison - it sucks that you go out early all the time but let me just say that you shouldn't give up because your time is coming

Benj - Also left in a 5-3 vote against me and continued my streak of getting votes every single tribal so yay

Dennis - I still can not believe that you never knew I played your Circle game. I even got quite far..

Lily - KAGE. Wow. So. I wasn’t shocked to see you go but I was also pretty sad. I was really hoping for a redemption for us this season but that didn’t happen. You are a legend and never forget.

Madison - it makes me so sad every day that you're not still in the game and I will always feel bad about it, you deserved sooooo much better

Benj - One of the only 2 people I knew of before coming into this, and it was fun playing with you just sucks we lost so many times. I’m sorry it ended on a bad note between us ☹

Dennis - You are always entertaining to watch and play with, sorry that it ended for you so early.

Lily - Regan, I always love to hear about how you play and what happened. I’ve still never really gotten the chance to play with you but I’m always interested to see how the story of your game. Always keep fighting girl!

Madison - we have had so many ups and so many downs and sometimes i can never tell how you and i are gonna get along but us working together in the game and stuff was a big step forward for us

Benj - The other person I knew before this game! When I saw you on the cast I was so relieved cuz as a complete noob to tumblr survivor I literally haven’t heard of any of these people before in my life so to see someone I’ve known since 2013 was great but it sucks we were never on a tribe together and that you got blindsided ☹ I hope I made you proud!

Dennis - I was truly bummed when I saw that you got voted out. I was hoping that after the connection we made on Makonde 2.0, we could reunite at a later point and play this game together..

Lily - I really loved seeing how dedicated you were to challenges. You were one of the reasons our tribe could stay afloat. I also really enjoyed our conversations about school and literature. Thank you for everything and keep doing you. Best of luck!

Madison - sooo um sorry about the blindside, but it'll make sense later, you are such a good survivor player and i always respect how you play and also how you treat people

Benj - Blake!! My king you were one of the people who welcomed me onto Makonde once I returned and I was devastated when you left right before merge

Dennis - I don’t think anyone has ever made me feel this uncomfortable in a game like you did. I know your back was against the wall and you tried everything to survive that vote. If there is one thing you have going for you its dedication!

Lily - Oh Blake, we have had some times. I love how you play cause it’s exciting to see how you will react to situations. You make the game more interesting. Best of luck to you and I’ll always be interested to follow your seasons.

Madison - A KING UGH i wish we ended up playing together in this game, i was so excited for it but you certainly made an impact in the game just by being iconic

Benj - Exact same as Blake, you were awesome to meet, and I was so sad to miss out on merge with you and to see more of your antics!! Hope you return in a future season king

Dennis - I was actually pretty sad that you got voted out right before merge. Even though you seem like a complete wildcard you are definitely a really interesting player and I would’ve wanted to see where the merge would’ve led us!

Lily - Keaton, I so badly wanted to see things work out for you but in a lot of challenges you had a negative attitude. I know you were in a tough spot at times but everyone has their own stuff going on and you have to do the best with what you got. I wish you would have tried a little harder. It’s hard to keep someone around who doesn’t want to give it their all. I wasn’t involved in your vote in any way but I thought it would happen based on what was going on when we were on tribes together previously. I really hope to see you grow because I enjoyed the conversations we had. Best of luck to you in everything you do!

Madison - my first words to you were asking if you were hot and we've truly come so far from that moment, you've become one of my favorite people that i've ever met and there's so much that I could say about you but we don't have enough time for that

Benj - We met on the last tribe swap and it was super fun getting points in the live challenge with you when all the Americans were asleep! Sad that you went inactive at merge ☹

Dennis - You probably know yourself if you weren’t as busy as you were and had put at least half of the effort into this season that you put into HoS, you would’ve gone way further. You are super likeable and relatable and I am sorry that you went as a mergeboot, BUT atleast you are in the epic 12th-placer chat now!

Lily - You are so sweet and I was completely impressed with how you left. I know you were busy and that’s how things go. I felt you needed to go that vote because you weren’t dedicating the time that was necessary for the game and I would have hated to see someone go who was putting forth a valiant effort. I really hope you play again and that you love your new place. I love that you added me on Pokémon go cause that meant a lot to me. Haha. Best of luck in all you do!

Madison - you are such an iconic British king!!! You went out with class and it just shows what kind of a person you are irl
