Tumblr media
You couldn't help the grin that draws on your lips as you watch Mako's ruined face. He has his head throwed back, his bottom lip swollen from how much he bited it down to hide his moans and you could see the marks of dry tears left on his cheeks. It was refreshing to see the always-serious Mako ruined by your simple touch.
You leave a kiss on his cheek, resuming your hand strokes on his hard cock, squelching sounds coming out from each movement. The amount of lub mixed with the last three times he had cummed in the last hour make such delicious wet sounds. "Does it feel good, baby?" you ask, watching every detail on his body.
The veins and muscles of his arms pop up every now and then from how often he's clenching his hands behind his back. He's so use to be all over you when you guys are having sex, that you can tell by his body lenguage that being restrained on the chair by thight ropes is killing him. He looks up at you, glossy eyes begging you to stop, but his lips don't move to say his safeword once.
"Please...please precious" he calls out in a whimper. His erratic breath makes his cum-covered tummy clench constantly, making you able to see his abs every now and then as well.
"Mmh? What do you want, baby? Do you want me to stop?" you ask, using your free and clean hand to comb his hair back in a loving gesture. You see him nod, little whimpers coming out of his pouting lips. You copy them and talk to him in a mocking tone, teasing him. "Why is that, love? Doesn't it feel good?" as you ask again, you move your wrist in circular motions, rubbing the palm of you hand on his tip, making Mako's whole body twitch from the overstimulation, and little moans and whimpers start falling freely from his lips.
"It does! It does..." he cries out, "'s just t-too much" he says, but at the same time, he bucks his hips into your closed fist, searching for friction. How cute!
You let out a quiet chuckle before kissing the corner of his lips. Already half naked, you climb into his lap and align his wet tip into your equally wet pussy. "One more, mmh? Give me one more, baby. Inside of me"
You easily sink on him, making Mako throw his head back once again. His arms flex again, a reflex of wanting to wrap his arms around your waist and thrust into you, but he couldn't, and for that, he whimpers.
"I know, I know baby. It'll be over soon" you wrap your arms around his neck, starting to bounce on him at the same time you move in and take his lips on a heated kiss.
Mako's moans drown in your lips. His mouth hangs open in a silent moan as he feels your gummy walls wrap around his length, feeling his tip hit that squishy spot inside you over and over as your hips start moving in a quicker pace.
"Fuck..." you mutter, slidding a hand between your bodies to rub on your clit. Mako watches you with wide adoring eyes. You looked so beautiful lost in pleasure.
"Gonna cum" he whispers, voice already worn out to cry more.
"Yeah?" you whisper back, kissing his cheek. "Cum for me baby. Cum inside me"
And Mako didn't need any more permission than that. His hips buck up as he release his fourth orgasm inside you, whimpers and moans falling out of his lips as his body twitches, barely handling the overstimulation anymore. He cries when you don't stop bouncing and keep on riding him for a little longer, chasing after your orgasm as you were so close.
"I know baby, I know. Hold it up for me, yeah? Just a little longer..." you mutter, going back to rubbing your sensitive clit again. You close your eyes, throwing your head back as you feel your orgasm coming. "Fuck...fuck" you cry, moving your hips hurriedly, closing your eyes as you cum all over Mako's cock, who's watching you with half-lidded eyes and a fuzzy mind.
Your moves come to a stop and, exhausted, you throw yourself on Mako's limp body, circling his neck with your arms and hiding your face in the crock of his neck. Both of your chests move up and down with an uneven breath, taking your time to calm yourselves down.
"Mako? Are you okay, baby?" you ask after a while, pulling away from the cuddling position to take a look to your boyfriend's face. He was still pretty much out of it, but he had energy to throw a grin at your way.
"You almost milked me dry, precious" he slurred the words out of his mouth, making an effort to speak clearly.
You chuckle. "I take that as you're okay then?"
"Better than okay" he answers with a smile, before pursing his lips, silently asking for a kiss. And of course you give it to him.
"Good thing you have a day off tomorrow, because you're gonna be sore for a while" you comment as you undo the ropes around his wrist, finally letting him free. "Let's take a shower" you're already walking to the bathroom as you say that, feeling Mako's cum starting to run down your thigh.
"Uhm, baby?" Mako calls out for you.
"Yeah?"
"I can't feel my legs"

Paparazzi: Please we just want to interview you all! Korra, holding the door down: Damn it they found out about us! Kyoshi, helping her: So uhhhh what do we do? Yangchen: Sigh, we could just answer their questions. Korra and Kyoshi: Yeah no our public image isn't the best, and we really suck with that type of stuff. Aang: I'm a child. :) Kuruk: I don't deal with people. Roku: Something tells me we'll regret talking with them. So, no. Yangchen: FINE! I'll talk to them. What's the worst that can happen?

Small drawing collection of my latest creation Emran as a teenager/freshly minted Air Acolyte, for my dear partner in unhinged OC shenanigans @katkastrofa, as promised <3
Tumblr media
#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#original character#I need to figure out a way to tag these guys#like with renny and dori I just put sotrl in front of their names and that works#but emran is technically an LaF character. though not uniquely tied to that verse. and idk what to do with Ila and Alasie#maybe I need to have some unique oc tag or smth. Iโ€™ll figure it out#if youโ€™re wondering why I stayed up until half past 7 a.m to draw this itโ€™s because I needed some way to cool down#after the kuviren smut absolutely broke my brain#and what better way to do that than by drawing my sweet baby boy?#yes lmao he went from baby girl to baby boy in like 24 hours. fucking sue me#but actually. actually!! theyโ€™re both. they contain multitudes :)#they probably havenโ€™t even realised that at this point and are still in disguise#convinced that sheโ€™ll be punished for her deceit if anyone found out that sheโ€™s actually a girl#(okay off topic but the switching pronouns are really fun lmao)#but give them time. theyโ€™ll figure it out soon enough. in these pieces theyโ€™re slowly getting used to temple life#and that is the first step to self acceptance#Iโ€™m actually extremely proud of these. especially the one with the apple basket. I feel like the androgynous vibes are really there#and he looks like his brother the most in it#but the others are fun too. I loved doing the portrait. I should do them more often#and.. I will admit. I traced the lemur. I can barely draw people okay how do you expect me to draw animals#but I just think that Aiza would really love a little lemur friend#animals donโ€™t judge and she doesnโ€™t have to watch herself around them. she can just be. plus the lemurs are really cute <3#I want to eventually do a companion to this with Aiza instead. maybe from back before she ran away#probably something based on reflection from Mulan too bc the vibes are there. though.. to be completely honest#Iโ€™d say they have a lot more of Shurochka Azarovaโ€™s vibes than Mulan. but thatโ€™s just my love for Soviet cinema taking over#itโ€™s essentially if mulan fought napoleon instead. and when discovered instead of left to die they promoted her to lieutenant ๐Ÿ˜#I realise the comparison is completely incomprehensible to everyone but me but.. go watch the hussar ballad. itโ€™s free on YouTube with subs#okay enough rambling. i shall now go to bed. @ Kat I hope this brightens up your morning at least somewhat. I love you!!

Olympics prompt
So I may end up regretting this, taking a long time, or maybe not even following through (fair warning XD), but I like learning about different Olympic sports, so, in an effort to do so, I thought of a prompt idea:
give me a character (or two) [for a fandom I know] + an Olympic sport, and I'll try to draw or write something for it! ๐Ÿ˜„โšฝ๏ธ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฅ‡

Another Korvira headcanon, this one is NSFW:
Kuvira is a switch in the bedroom. With previous partners she tended to take one a more dominant role. Yet when she started dating Korra, she found herself leaning more towards the submissive side. It wasnโ€™t easy for her to give up control at first, she enjoys being a brat and testing her limits/pushing Korraโ€™s buttons. In submission, Kuvira discovered a newfound level of self acceptance and confidence. It makes her feel good to give up control to Korra most of the time. Though occasionally they like to switch roles just for fun.
Korra is also technically a switch, but she definitely likes being more dominant most of the time. She likes being in charge. It makes her feel powerful and loved when her partner gives up control to her. Yet every once in a while finds herself wanting to be a sub, for the right person.

inspired by this tweet i saw a while while ago:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You think to yourself that it was a good idea to start fucking once Mako was out with Korra and Asami for a walk outside, since you didn't think that Bolin would be this loud today.
"Please...please baby" the plead came out as a whisper, his voice was so worned out from moaning and screaming so loud.
"Please what, baby? Tell me, love" you whisper in his ear, leaving a kiss on his cheek.
"Please... don't cum inside, please!" he whines, big fat tears spilling from his pretty eyes. And despite his request, he hugs you closer for you not to pull out from him.
You stay still for a moment, thinking. Cum? Inside? You pull slightly apart to take a look at his face, immediately noticing that he's so far gone. His eyes were unfocused, and a thread of saliva was dirtying his cheek, as well as it was covered in his tears.
You had fuck him so dumb that he thinks you can cum inside him! You chuckle as you resume your thrusts in him once again, making him yelp.
"Why not, love? Do you not want me to fill you up? To swollen your belly with my babies inside you?" you humm in his ear, smiling as he whimpers and shakes his head cutely.
"No pleaseโ€ฆ I'm too young to be a mommy yet!" he cries, holding you tigthter as his legs weakly wraps around your hips.
"But you'll look so cuteโ€ฆ even cuter that you already are" you add as you see him pout at you. You kiss his lips. "Come on baby, please? I'll take care of you, promise" you whisper in between kisses, hips slapping on his skin as your thrusts go harder and harder.
It took him a while to form a full sentence in between his whimpers and moans, but once he 'thinked' about it, he said, "A-alright...fill me up, fill me up with your babies!" he cries, hugging you closer again.
You smile devishly as you hug him back, leaving a short kiss on his neck as you fuck him faster, a hand moving in between your bodies to grab his aching cock and starting to pumping it with the rhythm of your thrusts.
You didn't have a strap-on that could squirt cum out of it, but you hoped Bolin was gone enough to think you really came inside him.
"Come on baby, cum with me" you coo at him, only getting whimpers as a response.
"Cumming...ngh- cumming!" he cries, dirtying his whole chest and part of yours with his cum.
You give the last few thrusts inside him, groaning as if you really just had emptied yourself on him. The grip of his limbs around you had loosen up for him to spread himself on the bed, his shaky breath getting stabilized progressively.
You pull out and take the harness off your body, getting up from the bed to get a wet towel and start cleaning Bolin up.
"I feel so...full" he mutters as you clean up his tummy. You look up at him, and find his pretty green eyes looking at you dreamily.
You chuckle. "Yeah? You'll look so good in a few months with your growing belly" you squeeze the fat of his hip as you leave a kiss on his cheek, cleaning the rest of his body and yourself before getting ready to cuddle.
You know that tomorrow is gonna be a normal day, and even in a few hours, Bolin is not gonna remember anything that he said today, but something in you has awaken to the simple thought of your boyfriend carrying your children inside him for you. He snuggles to your side, his happy grin making you smile to yourself as you bring him closer.
If only that could be possible...

"Honorary Water Tribe member"
Kuruk: I think we should claim Kyoshi as an "Honorary Water Tribe" member. Kyoshi: What the fuck are you talking about? Korra: Yeah Kuruk, I don't really get it. Aang: Yeah if anyone is going to be one, it should be me! I'm at least married to someone from the Water Tribe! Heck, even Yangchen counts. Yangchen: You all keep my private life out of this! Kyoshi: Yangchen, quick, what do we do when we're hit with allegations?! Yangchen: Deny, deny, deny. Blame it on spirits! Kyoshi: No! We take accountability! Yangchen: You stay in your lane, I'll stay in mine. Kuruk, please elaborate. Kuruk: Thank you, Yangchen. As I was saying. I think Kyoshi should be labeled as a member of the tribe! Roku: I mean, as Avatar's we technically belong to all the nations- Kuruk: That's not what I mean! Kyoshi: Then what the hell do you mean????? Kuruk: What I mean is, Kyoshi you've inherited some key features from me, my wife, and Kavik. Kyoshi:............................. Yangchen:.............................. Korra, Aang, Roku: ???????? Kyoshi: Hey Yangchen..... Yangchen: ...... Kyoshi: He's talking about your boy, you want to stop him? Yangchen: My boy? I don't have a boy. Kavick? Who's he? I'm leaving. Leave me out of this. Kyoshi: Damn, denying that poor boy of an existence, the hell do I have in common with him? Kuruk: You're both the subbiest bottoms I've ever met. Kyoshi: ......................................... Kyoshi: Kuruk, what do you want to say to your wife? Kuruk: What- Kyoshi: Kuruk, tell me what you want to tell your wife. Because I will find Koh and relay the message, after I FUCKING RIP YOUR SPINE OUT THROUGH YOUR THROAT- Kuruk, pulls Kyoshi into a one arm bear hug: THAT'S MY GIRL! Look at that bloodlust! You got that from me! Kyoshi: ?????! Kuruk: You also got my amazing game too! Dripping with rizz and you don't even try! Like c'mon! Nyahitha even says we're basically twins! Kyoshi: Kuruk shut- Kuruk: And same taste in the ladies~! uwu Kyoshi: ........................................................ Korra: She's going to kill him. Kyoshi: I'm going to kill him. Kuruk: You also have my wife's face, so I think that qualifies too! Kyoshi: Get off of me. Kuruk: Korra, you also inherited Rangi's wishes for Kyoshi! A castle, guards, people love you! Korra: Heh, so that means they're my great-grandmas? Kuruk: Exactly! Korra: You know what? I kinda feel a kinship with her, esp with Kuvira and Chin. Damn, I didn't realize Kyoshi had so much in common with us. Kuruk: I know! From our looks, to our personality, or our vibe. She deserves to be part of our Tribe! Kyoshi: None of you are making any sense. Let go of me and go do whatever you want. I'm leaving! Yangchen! Wait up!

Note
Are we the only lightning weaver or are there others in our school? Also is it just the lightning itself that we control or could we possibly create storms too?
Also do the deities have a say in how their blessings are used?
If youโ€™re familiar with Avatar: The Legend of Aang/Korraโ€”the concept of weaving is heavily inspired by the show :D
The main elements are fire, water, earth, and air. Those who can weave sub-elements of the four like ice, metal, etc. are mostly pure-bloods.
Other lightweavers exist yes, but even so their main element will always be fire. They canโ€™t tap into lightningโ€™s full potential like MC canโ€”whose main element is lightning.
MC is one of the few chosen, people who have been blessed with a unique sub-element as their primary weave...
Thatโ€™s all I can say for now. ;D
And yes it is just lightning/electricity itself, so no generating storms unfortunately.
Normally, deities donโ€™t have control over their chosen, so they choose carefully on who they pick; only the ones with potential to grow into a long bloodline. They have to because itโ€™s a limited ability; itโ€™s literally their life and power source.
But not every deity has the same capabilities, like the chosen, they have their own anomalies too.
They have their own drama up there ๐Ÿ‘€

Avatar & Ming-Hua's Psychic Bending
I watched a yt video essay recently in which the creator pointed out that one of the rules of bending in the world of Avatar is that it is related to the movement of the body, because the bending styles are tied to the martial arts. He references this in relation to a scene in Aang's finale fight with Ozai, because in that scene, Ozai breaks that rule.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Ozai conjures the ball of fire out of thin air and without moving his body, it shows the audience how powerful Sozin's comet has made him. I'll let you watch the video for more on how great the storytelling is in this fight scene.
The next time we see someone breaking this bending rule is in the first season of The Legend of Korra, with Yakone's ability to psychically blood-bend. Tarrlok literally describes his father's ability as just that -- psychic -- when he says that Noatak, "was a prodigy, mastering my father's psychic blood-bending technique by the time he was fourteen" (S1E11).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If I am not mistaken, this is the only time in the world of Avatar someone is described as having any sort of "psychic" ability, and it is described as such because Yakone and Noatak were able to blood-bend using their minds. This is even more impressive than Ozai's breaking of the rule in AtLA -- Ozai required the strength of the comet, where Yakone and Noatak could practice their ability without even the full moon, and Ozai still used his hand to conjure the fireball, which is not quite the same thing as using his mind.
A closer firebending equivalent to this, I think, would be combustion-bending. However, because there is much more mystery in combustion-bending, and because it is its own sub-type of bending rather than being a rare ability only some benders within a certain form of bending have, I am not going to include it in my overall point here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, this brings me to Ming-Hua. Anyone watching the show clearly knows that Ming-Hua is an incredible bender. She is a double upper amputee and uses her waterbending as her arms, and is also obviously a Master waterbender. But what occurred to me in re-watching LoK after having watched the youtube video above, is that Ming-Hua also breaks this rule of Avatar.
Think of all the other waterbenders that have been on either of the two shows until this point. The use of their arms is essential to every move of waterbending they make. The only waterbenders shown bending without using their arms were Yakone and Noatak, because they were using their minds -- and even then, neither of them were shown waterbending without the use of their arms. It seemed their psychic bending was limited only to blood-bending.

And then comes in Ming-Hua, a member of a group of benders (and one once-non-bender) who each have an exceptional bending ability. And I think it's easy for viewers to see Ming-Hua's bending as exceptional only because she has found a way to waterbend despite being disabled, and not think of it any further. But Ming-Hua being disabled is not what makes her exceptional. What makes her exceptional is the fact that she has the ability to psychically waterbend, which we have seen no one have before. Of course, we don't know if she purposefully developed this ability because of her disability, if she was born with the ability, if her waterbending manifested psychically because she is a double amputee -- we don't even know if she was born an amputee or if she was disabled for some reason during life, so it's really impossible to say why she is a psychic bender. But I think it is a fact to say that she is a one. Which is...SO BADASS! (Imagine I said this in an overly-excited Bolin voice.)

Consider the scene above: Kya has just blasted Ming-Hua off the side of the temple with a rush of water. Ming-Hua cannot grab onto something as she's falling, and yet she doesn't fall. Which means she managed to keep all of her focus on maintaining the structure of her water-arms as she was blasted and fell over the side, and then used her mind to slowly pull all of the water to her as she also concentrated on keeping her water-arms together in a strong enough form that they could hold her entire body up as it was hanging over a ledge, and then at the same time, she created this spider-form out of the water she'd pulled toward her, which she then used to pull herself up and back over the side of the temple.
And she did all of that. With her mind.
Yakone and Noatak blood-bend with their minds when they want to, but it's the same way that any other able-bodied bender only has to concentrate on bending when they want to. It's a luxury. Ming-Hua, on the other hand, uses her bending as, essentially, an accessibility tool, which means that she is never not psychically bending.
This woman is more powerful than anyone gives her credit for.
Tumblr media
(As a final note, I don't think it's a coincidence that the two true instances we have of psychic bending are from waterbenders, considering water is well-known as the element tied to psychic abilities.)
I would love to hear your thoughts on psychic bending in Avatar and the badassery of Ming-Hua!

I know you done content on hard versus soft magic systems but what is your opinion on crunchy versus smooth?
I will use atla to explain.
Season one The power system is well defined but basic Air Water Earth Fire. Simple to understand very straightforward (smooth)
By the end of the legend of Korra, you have several sub-categories and completely new categories as well (crunchy)
ah, a greebled magic system
I like complicated "crunchy" yet rigidly-defined magic systems, because they give the creator a lot of stuff to play with while also giving them constraints to operate in that dictate a lot of what can and can't happen with the plot. The danger, of course, is in introducing a form of magic that actually makes no sense, or something that devalues other elements of the system because its impact wasn't fully reasoned out, or carving off a part of an existing magic chunk and making it inaccessible for unjustified reasons.
I also feel like sometimes the extra crunch of a magic system can betray a lack of creativity on the part of the creator - having to invent entirely new magics instead of considering new applications for the old ones.
Bloodbending? Lightning-bending as an advanced firebending technique? Combustion Man as a unique one-off assassin? That armless waterbender lady with a completely new martial arts style? Zaheer using airbending to kill the Earth Queen? Dope new applications of existing concepts that make the magic system feel large, fluid and powerful. These are extensions of existing concepts that feel logical, or at least understandable.
Airbenders Who Abandon All Earthly Connections Can Levitate Now? Weird and kind of retroactively disruptive that it never came up before.
By The Way Lavabending Is Its Own Special Weird Thing Now Like Metalbending Was? Feels like we needed to invent a reason for this sidelined character to matter.
There's a risk to carving off too many chunks of a magic system, I think. Avatar started simple: everything the heroes could do or figure out was an extension of first principles. Lightning is kinda like weird pure fire, so lightning-bending made sense as an advanced firebending technique with a big risk of blowing up in your face. Bloodbending is literally something any waterbender can do once they realize it's possible - the horror of it is that it's a forbidden technique that becomes impossibly easy just by knowing about it. Toph figuring out metalbending by virtue of having a completely unique and incredibly granular sense for the earth around her ALSO worked, because (a) "metal can't be bent" has been firmly established several times and is clearly common knowledge, and (b) she was clearly the first person who'd ever had that combination of skill and disability and she was building her style from the ground up.
By the Korra timeline, however, we start running into things like lavabending, which should absolutely not be its own weird thing. It's just rock. We've already seen Kyoshi bend lava. If I recall correctly, the show doesn't sufficiently explain why lavabending is a weird separate thing from earthbending, making it feel like a logical component of the earthbending powerset is being arbitrarily gated just to make an otherwise disregarded character Slightly Important by being able to do it.
Stuff like that makes the magic system feel less internally solid. "Why CAN'T this magic do [thing]" is an extremely important question for a worldbuilder to be able to answer, and an overly greebled and partitioned magic system often can't explain why magic X and magic Y are totally separate. Skills and techniques and personal preferences among casters are fine to explain why something may or may not be possible for someone, but "what magic can and can't do and WHY" is something that I think should be as firmly, logically coherent as possible.
