Kinktober Masterlist

“They really don’t release milk?”

A rough, labor worn hand pinches at your nipple, tugging at the peaked flesh with a furrowed brow. Ernest’s eyes go wide when it perks up under his touch, a black tongue darting out to wet his bottom lip. A chuckle rumbles against your body, the languid heifer lying beside you laughing at her barnmate’s naivete.

“Not unless she’s with child.” Genevieve says, groping and kneading at the fat of your other breast. Her touch is less antsy than Ernest’s. She had been working at this farm for over four years now, and you can’t help but wonder if she’s been in this exact same position before. “Still, they taste very good.” Her manicured nails draw slow circles around your areola, but her eyes are locked on your face, flustered and trying best to stay quiet. You know all too well how easily noise travels through the barn. Last thing you need is one of your fellow farmers busting in, wondering what you're doing rolling in the hay with the two prized cows.

Ernest gnaws on his bottom lip, hands still hesitant as he rolls your nipple between his fingers. His tail flicks back and forth, almost like it’s swatting flies, behind his kneeled over form. He’s utterly transfixed by your chest, as if he isn’t around breasts all the time. They're practically inescapable when you live on a hybrid milking farm.

“C-can I?” You’re not sure who Ernest asks, you or Genevieve, as he gulps and eyes up your chest. Beads of sweat pool at the valley between your two breasts, the stifling heat of the summer afternoon only amplified by being sandwiched by two large bodies. Genevieve chuckles again.

“Can you what, Ernest?”

“Can I-” Ernest exhales out of his nose, nostrils flaring as he finally catches the courage to look you in the eye, “Can I suck on one of them?”

The poor bull’s face is bright red, freckles lost in a haze of his blushing cheeks. His ears twitch with every noise, just as aware of how many rules he’s breaking.

“S-sure.” Your voice sounds different, so breathy and light. Something about holding the attention and touch of two people has turned you into a shy little thing, demure despite desperately agreeing to this tryst in the first place. 

Ernest buzzes with happiness, quickly spreading out his knees and lowering his face to your chest. He starts with just the tip of his tongue, flicking it across your bud. Your whole body jolts, but Genevieve keeps you still. Ernest’s chest heaves with a pant, tail now thumping behind him like a dog, and he latches on to your tit.

Ernest’s lips are surprisingly soft, fitting for his gentle tongue as it rubs you up and down in his mouth. He makes sure to keep his head perpendicular to the plane of your stomach, lest his small horns accidentally poke at your skin. Genevieve rubs her hand down the side of your face, coaxing your jaw to turn towards her.

“Does that feel good?”

You nod, voice catching in your throat as you keep your eyes low, like the submissive girl you are.

“Y-yes, ma’am.” You eventually stutter out.

“Hmm, our little farmer likes her nipples touched, doesn’t she?” Genevieve slides her hand down your chest and stomach. Fresh slick pools at the apex of your thighs, legs instinctively widening as another bolt shoots across you. 

Ernest takes her words to heart, now sucking on your breast with a little more force. His teeth dig into the fattier part of your boob, tongue quickly darting across your nipple. It’s as if he’s testing to see if Genevieve is lying, that if he sucks hard enough you’ll eventually start leaking liquid ambrosia into his mouth. 

A thumb presses against your lips, Genevieves’ nails applying a gentle force that has you opening your mouth for her. She slides the digit across the flat of your tongue, watching as the saliva begins to pool at the sides.

“Such a good girl.” Genevieve's other hand pulls away from your sensitive tit, a whine caught in your throat as she then cups your wet pussy. Trails of slick stick to her palm when she pulls away, her gaze turning mischievous. “Look how wet she is, Ernest. She loves it.”

Ernest opens his eyes to see Genevieve's shiny fingers, glossy from just a single touch to your cunt. His groan rumbles against your chest, emboldened and grabbing at your other tit to replace Genevive’s hand. You moan, a fresh gush of wetness slicking up your lips.

  The hand on your cheek brushes against your jawbone, sharp nails pulling a shuddering shiver down your whole body. Genevieve cups your cunt once again, this time spreading open your pussy lips and letting your wetness drip from the center. Her thumb finds its place on your clit, already sensitive enough that just a touch has your hips jumping.

“Aww, so needy.” Genevieve purrs, nothing calming about it as she makes deviously slow circles onto your clit. The feeling combined with Ernest’s hands and mouth fiddling with your breasts has you biting your lip, desperate for something a little more. “Come on, Ernest. Join me down here.”

Ernest detaches from your chest with panting breaths, cheeks flushed almost purple as he moves his shaky hand down your body. Sweat and precum already cover his palm, making you realize he had begun jerking himself off as he played with you. 

Ernest’s fingertips are rougher than Genevieve’s, the manual labor of bulls callusing his skin everyday. The rough texture is sensuous against your weeping hole, practically beckoning him to force them inside. Genevieve's more active thumb doesn’t help, her slow build of speed making your legs shake. 

With his precum and your wetness, Ernest’s two fingers sink inside like a hot knife through butter. Him and you both moan at the feeling, your cunt clenching around his digits like a vice. The floorboard creaks as Ernest humps into the floor, just imagining that same grip around his cock. 

“Lets make our good girl, cum, shall we?”

It’s all the permission Ernest needs, desperation and lust palpable with his blown out pupils and panting breath. He pulls out all the way to his knuckle before sinking back in, fingers scissoring you open as he fingers you like a whore. The hand around your nipple resumes its playing, no longer gentle as he tugs and yanks on the sensitive bud. 

Genevieve is much more practiced and patient, her thumb quick yet precise as she rubs at your clit. She knows exactly the amount of pressure to apply, what exactly has you humping into her and Ernest’s palms. 

“Aww, look at that pretty face.” Genevieve says, her free hand now playing with her own pussy, the wet sounds of her fucking herself on her fingers revealing all. Her breasts push into your side, heavy and full of milk. They look aching, so tantalizingly close to your mouth….

It’s why, despite being in the haze of your pussy being spread open, you latch on and suck, hard. Genevieve makes her first squeak of the night, quick to slap your clit for the disobedience. But all that does is make you suck harder, jerk your hips into Ernest’s desperate fingers.

“Ha-ah, not so good after all, are you?”

You shake your head, eyes mischievous as you nibble on her taut nibble, savoring the small amount of milk that she releases. Genevieve rolls her eyes but doesn’t do anything to stop you, instead pushing her breast up and further into your mouth. Her hand resumes its place on her pussy and the other circling your clit. Ernest seems unbothered by the whole thing, still humping into the ground and transfixed with your tight cunt.

The stall quickly becomes a sweaty mess of your three bodies, air hot and thick, permeated by heavy breathing and moans as you all chase your high together. Milk has begun dribbling out your mouth and down your own chest, too much for you to swallow from suckling on Genevieve’s chest. Precum smears across the ground as Ernest desperately chases the friction on his cock, the fabric of his jean shorts and the feeling of your tight pussy enough to keep his horny self satisfied. Genevieve’s usually composed face beads with sweat, lips almost bitten through as she plays with your pussy and hers at the same time. All sense of shame and propriety has been lost, pleasure taking priority.

“Gonna cum~” You slur with a mouth full of boob, toes beginning to curl, the heat becoming overwhelming. “M-me too!” Ernest squeaks out, fingers growing sloppy as they squelch with each thrust.

“Let’s cum together.”  Genevieve pants, her own pussy now drenched and aching.

You and Ernest nod desperately, movements frantic as you all work to please each other and yourselves. It doesn’t take long, not when Ernest shoves himself between your breasts and sucks on your nipples.

“Hmmph!”

“Oh, gods!”

“Ah…ah!”

The writhing mass convulses all together, Ernest’s cum splattering on the floor and across your arched back as you and Genevieve both squirt, leaving trails of your juices all across the hardwood and your thigh. 

Ernests’ face finds itself in your stomach, catching his breath as his hand goes limp, still sheathed in your pussy. Genevieve lets herself rest her on the floor, boob popping out of your panting mouth as she too tries to regain her composure.

That leaves you in the middle, sweaty and numb as the aftershocks of your orgasm still rattle your brain.

Talk about a roll in the hay.

Crazy On You

A Tale from The MCU

~ On a trip up state, things get a little spicy when the rumble of Bucky's engine gets you going...~

Bucky Barnes x F!Reader

2,158 Words

Warnings: NSFW, Exhibitionism (Sex in a Public Place), Oral, Fingering, Sexy Stuff. 

A/N: For @feelmyroarrrr... I pictured Bucky from FATWS, but you can put this anywhere you'd like ;) - Also, I published this in Feb 2024, before we got Bucky in the Thunderbolts trailer, so I thought it was time to bring it over here finally lol

Wind is whipping around you with hurricane force, stinging as it hits your exposed cheeks. It prickles your skin and sweeps the hair off of your neck. It’s cold and invasive, but it feels good as the summer sun beats down upon your shoulders. The wind and heat fight for dominance and your body is the battleground. 

A bump in the road jerks your spine and you lean forward, arms tightening around Bucky’s waist. He’s steering the motorcycle with expert precision, but he’s no match for the pothole-marred blacktop of New York State. Another dip makes you gasp and he cocks his head back a bit, yelling over the wind. 

“You OK back there?” 

You give him a squeeze and press your chin to his shoulder. The metal beneath his leather jacket gives you pause, but it doesn’t bother you- it’s just another reminder of how remarkable he is. 

“I’m great!” you holler back. “But this road sucks!” 

He smiles into the wind and leans slightly to the left, following the curve of the road. The Sawmill River Parkway is treacherous and exciting. 

“Well, hold on, Doll,” he warns. “It only gets worse!”

The road winds around and back again, dodging towns and skirting the edge of the Hudson River as it leads them out of the city. Skyscrapers and brownstones give way to long stretches of trees and the bright green blurs in your peripheral. 

As you drive, arms clasped around his firm body, your thoughts begin to drift. The engine is roaring and the thin seat vibrates between your legs, setting off an array of images in your mind. You clench your thighs as the Bucky revs the motor, hold your breath as you feel the strong muscles in his back tense against your chest. Slowly, you unclutch your right hand and snake it up to lay flat against his heart. His heart is pounding; his body firm and warm. You close your eyes and let your fingers glide downwards, coveting the dips of his abs. Your mouth waters as you envision running your tongue over every bump. 

The road swerves and you hang on; centrifugal force and Bucky’s strong body keeping you in place while the bike leans to the right. Your nails dig into the soft gray fabric of his tee and he shivers. You can feel it as strongly as you can feel the vibrations through your jeans. 

He picks up speed, easily overtaking the white Mazda to your left. You let out a laugh and turn to watch the darkened windshield fade into the background. There’s nothing that can catch you now. No government agency giving chase in an SUV behind you; no preternatural force pinning for your blood beyond the cliff to your right. There’s nothing but the sun and the wind and the soaking arousal between your legs. 

You pass another car and your body starts to shake. Every rev, every bump, every tiny oscillation of the engine makes your pussy throb. The bike seems connected to you- it turns, you ease to the side with it. It screams, your body aches. It creeps over the jagged road top, your blood zings.

“Fuck!”

Bucky tenses at your shout, hands tightening on the handlebars. He holds steady.

“What's going on?” His voice is drenched in concern, evident even over the howl of the traffic.

“Nothing.”

You brush him off but he doesn't believe you. Something lies hidden in your voice and the way your fingers keep curling against his stomach tells him there's trouble. 

He growls your name through a clenched jaw. “Y/N…”

As a shudder of pleasure whips down your body, you lean into his back and press your lips to his ear.

“I'm good! But we should pull over soon…”

Before he can solicit more information, you drag a hand down his stomach and cup his jeans.

The bike swings a bit to the right.

Bucky clears his throat, gives his head a little shake to clear his mind.

“Hang on!”

A sign ahead tells of a scenic overlook two miles down the road, but you’re not sure you can make it. The rumbling has taken over any bit of nervousness from racing down the parkway on the back of a bike, and all you want to do is get his hands on you. 

The bike picks up speed and passes a black Camry. 

The trees have grown more dense so far from The Bronx and the stench of a hot summer day has long ago died away. 

Your desire is so intense that it’s taking all your strength to hold on, to not nibble at his ear or reach inside his tight jeans. He needs to concentrate even if you can’t. He needs to focus on the road even if your focus is on the heartbeat pulsing in your cunt. He needs to stay sharp even if your eyes are blurry and the scenery is sliding by like thinned paint dripping down a canvas. 

Finally, he signals and takes the exit, following a giant blue sign towards the rest area. 

Black top gives way to gravel; the noisy traffic fades away. Bucky pulls into a spot cliffside and cuts the engine. There’s a momentary shock as your ears try to readjust to the quiet, and then you hear his gruff voice and all is well. 

“What’s going on?” he asks, dropping the kickstand and moving to get up. “You OK?” 

Teeth stuck in your bottom lip, you watch him dismount, dragging your gaze down over his solid frame. His shirt is terribly tight; the leather jacket formed spectacularly around his muscular arms and shoulders. The jeans are soft and bite into him in all the ways you crave to.

“Oh, I’m good…”

There’s a sparkle in your eyes that makes him smirk. “Really? Ya seem a little… worked up.” 

Your mouth waters for him and you squirm over the leather seat, ready to attack. “Very.” 

Bucky grins and presses his tongue between his front teeth. You feel the urge to taste it and carefully climb off of the ride. 

“Very, huh?” He takes a breath and looks around. The outlook is clear; prying eyes are nowhere around. “You couldn’t have waited till we got upstate? We have a room, ya know.” 

All thoughts besides getting your lips on him are gone and your vision narrows in on your target. You lunge forward and pray he’ll keep his balance and not send you both tumbling into the river. 

His footing is sure. His arms are strong and his kiss is unforgiving. 

“Fuck, I need you so bad,” you moan, sunshine hitting your face as his tongue sweeps over your pulse. His teeth scrape the delicate skin of your throat and you claw at his shoulder. “Need you now!”

A hard shove to his chest knocks him back half a step and you drop to your knees in the dusty gravel. Bucky sucks in a deep breath and turns his back to the parkway. 

“You sure about this?” he asks, shooting a glance over his shoulder. Cars speed past in the distance, no one the wiser. 

You tugged at his belt. “So sure…”

One leather end flaps to the left. 

The buckle dangles over his thick thigh.

You fumble with the zipper and there's a hiss from above as Bucky fears for his manhood. Quickly, he closes his hand over yours and takes over, saving himself as you stare, drooling and impatient.

“You’re certainly all worked up, Doll,” he teases, licking his lip as you stare up in utter submission, silently begging for his cock. 

“Aren’t you? That ride… the engine… the-” 

A gasp cuts you off when his dick appears. Bucky pulls it free of his briefs and the sun strikes his velvety skin. He pushes his hips forward slightly and your lips open automatically. Without further invitation, you lean forward and land a wet kiss over the tip. Bucky sucks in a breath and you smile, finally getting what you’ve been dying for. 

You flick your tongue over his slit and then drag it slowly down, wetting his quickly growing shaft. 

“Fuck, Y/N/N… feels so good.” 

You look up with bright eyes and bob your partially opened mouth over his swelling head. Bucky’s upper lip quivers and he sneers with escalating desire. He dips his chin and smiles softly. A delicate finger sweeps over your forehead and curls around your ear. He urges you forward and you comply, sliding your lips down his cock. You can feel him harden on your tongue, taste the salty tang of him, smell his summer musk. It drives you wild and you swallow around him, wanting to savor every drop. 

“Damn it…” Bucky rolls his hips and your eyes flutter back. “You’re a needy little cocksucker, aren’t you?” 

Your mumbled response makes him moan and you pull back with a wet pop. 

He shakes his head teasingly and lays his metal hand on the nape of your neck. “Don’t stop.” 

The cold metal makes you shiver as he guides you back down. His touch is easy but you can feel the pent up force. He holds back with you, gentle but boiling with power. There’s never any fear when you’re with him, never a reason to think, even when he’s grabbing at your tits or fucking you on the vibranium, that he’ll do you any harm. Maybe a bruise or two, but it’s never something you don’t ask for. 

He sets the pace, jerking his hips and pushing at your head in rhythmic succession. Drool spills down your chin, puddling on the gravel beneath your knees. The sun beats down, hot and wonderful. Traffic flows in the distance, clouds drift overhead. 

Bucky fists your hair and snaps his hips, burying his cock down your throat. You gag and claw at his muscular thighs as his seed floods your mouth. He groans loudly as he comes and it echoes off the cliff like a roar in the jungle.

Before you can swallow it all, he’s got you on your feet, dragging you to standing and crushing you against his chest. He paws at your tits and locks his metal arm behind your back, holding you steady. 

“Bucky…” 

He kisses away your words, driving his tongue deep between your lips. He can taste himself there and it stirs his desire again. You can feel him push against your belly and your pussy leaks for him. 

“Please…”

Again, he shoves his tongue into your mouth, silencing your cries while snaking his free hand into your jeans. He pops the button without hesitation and eases his way into your panties. You’re already soaked and he hums at the feeling as your wet heat spreads over his fingers. 

His cold fingers splay open across your back and your body goes weak, cradled by his touch, safe from falling. 

He touches you with expert precision, jabbing two fingers deep into your cunt while his thumb rubs circles over your clit. You hold your breath, afraid to scream with pleasure and alert any passersby. Bucky doesn’t seem to care if you’re found out, and does his best to pull moan after moan from your swollen lips. 

“That’s it,” he whispers, staring down into your glazed eyes. “Gonna come for me like a good girl, yeah?” 

You manage a nod as he crooks his finger against your g spot. 

“Out here in the open where anyone could see.” 

“Yes…” 

Your voice is as shaky as your legs and the pressure of his hand increases. Pleasure swells inside and he can feel your body pulsing. 

“There you go, Doll.” He rubs faster, fucks a little harder. “Let go and come for me.” 

It hits like a crack of lightning and Bucky holds you steady, fucking you through the crest of your orgasm and sucking down your cry. He licks at your lips, caresses your aching cunt, hums in amazed approval. 

“You’re perfect,” he whispers, slowly removing his hand from your jeans. 

You grab his hand, still shuddering from the bliss, and tug his fingers to your mouth. He bites his lip, watching with darkening blue eyes as you lick him clean. 

“Goddammit, we gotta get to that hotel soon.”

You laugh and let his hand fall free. “Only a little longer, right?” You blink innocently and brush a finger over his new erection. 

He shivers and pops the tip of his tongue between his teeth, counting the miles till he can get you in bed. 

“If we rush, I can get us there in thirty minutes,” he offers.

Reaching up, you cup your hand around the back of his neck and pull him down for a final kiss. He moans and holds you tighter, wanting more, wanting to rip you apart and have his way. 

You push back after a long moment and wink. 

“Better make it twenty…”

TES Summerfest 2024

Day Six: Mirror or Abandoned @tes-summer-fest The Nerevarine's mind tends to play tricks.

It always started the same. He’d felt his flesh dissolve from his bones as another pyroclastic flow engulfed him. Same shit as usual. Only this time, instead of a beach or cave, he awakened in a quiet candle-lit chamber that reminded him of the offering halls found in ancestral tombs. He felt someone take his hand, kissing it lightly before something was whispered into his ear in Dunmeris. Lips pressed against the shell, the breath hot and putrid as those lips trailed down his neck. He was staring at himself, his hands on some sort of candlelit altar that was stained with long dried blood. His reflection stared back at him through the polished bronze mirror. The smile it wore was menacing and he found himself lost in the void where his eyes should have been. His reflection reached out through the wall as Teldryn felt lips trail down his neck, teeth scraping almost painfully at his skin. Long nails dragging down his bare chest, dipping to his hips and- His reflection grabbed him by the jaw and forced him to stare into the dark, endless void that had replaced the bright crimson of his eyes. He tried to look down at whatever it was that was now between his legs, biting at his hipbone, hands stroking the bare skin of his inner thigh. Cold lips met his and all he could taste was rot and bitter ash. He felt something sharp clamping down on his tongue, the taste of ash replaced by the sickening metallic sensation of blood pouring down his throat. He tried to open his mouth, to scream, to pull away but he couldn’t move. His reflection held him steady as blood poured from his lips. His reflection turned away and spat something from his mouth. Teldryn watched as it hit the ashen ground, small, red and bloody. It took him a few moments to recognise it as his own tongue.

My 2024 Trend Predictions

Disclaimer! Trends are bullshit!!! What’s “in” and “out” is totally subjective and fashion is an art form, public opinion and new crazes have no impact on the real art and following trends is your choice. Trend cycles are sped up so violently by capitalism and fast fashion as a beast, fashion is supposed to be fun.

This list is my opinions as a 19 year old boy who spends too much time online and read too much vogue as a kid. I am not an expert, I just like to talk.

Indie Sleaze

I’m already seeing this one happening, the colored tights under shorts, the fur vests, I think especially with the popularity of saltburn and it’s aesthetics we’ll see a lot more of this in the beginning of this new year. Graphic t-shirts with ironic phrases were already big in 2023, glitter and silver makeup especially is on the rise, this is already happening and I am excited. I fucking love indie sleaze. Nostalgia is a huge impact on trend cycles, I think we’ll see a lot of 2000 and 2010s trends seeing as the generations looking up to teens following those trends in their childhoods and longing to live those lifestyles are now old enough to embrace that dream. I think for people more into alternative fashion this will translate into a emo and scene resurgence that I’ve already been seeing.

Twee

This is based off the nostalgia again, I think a lot of folks who gravitate more towards cottage core-esque fashions and aesthetics are going to start embracing twee. 2024 is going to be a year of embracing cringe and quirky “individualism”, it is the year of the manic pixie dream girl, is is the year of pissing off boring men with “annoying” femininity. I think cutesy patterns, lace, buttons, diy big jewelry and hair accessories are gonna be on the rise. I can see girls making videos about their craft nights on tiktok already. Skater skirts, Peter Pan collars, bangs, Jess from new girl eat your heart out.

“Humble” Classy/reverse flexing

People are getting tired of the insistence on being “classy”, I think in 2024 we’re going to see a lot of celebrities trying to seem humble and average and down to earth. I think we’ll see a lot of brand mixing, super expensive designer paired with cheap every day brands, I think we’ll see this in clothes and especially in food. I think we’ll see a lot of branding for fast food popping up alongside that “classy” aesthetic. I think that this will also show up more with thrifting becoming popular again amongst influencers but specifically thrifting for designer/up cycling designer (badly). They’ll sell it under a veil of sustainability, it’ll be infuriatingly shallow.

Lightning Round

Pom poms

Feathers (especially hair feathers)

Fur in mens fashion

Metallic makeup

Grungy makeup looks

Full coverage foundations/matte foundations

Peplums (somehow)

Skinny jeans

Jewel toned nails

Short nails

Dainty chokers

Statement earrings

Wood/leather jewelry

Flats

Vintage anime merch

2000s/2010s brand mascots

Mod style

70s resurgence moments throughout (this is wistful thinking I just love the fashion of the 70s)

My Trend Timeline

End of winter into spring- indie sleazing our way into the new year, I think it’s a versatile enough fashion that can be easily executed with what people already have from previous trends in 2023. Everything is set up rolling out into the warmer months.

Summer- I think this is going to be prime time “trashy” early 2000s party girl kind of time. We got a little of it last summer but I think it’s going to really hit this year. Whale tails, chunky low lights, messy makeup, bedazzled jeans. I think we’ll also see some keywest kitten esque looks from the preppier side of things, lots of bright colors and fun jewelry. I think we’ll also get a lot of vintage Americana moments, once again we got a bit of it last year and I think it’ll be brought back.

Fall- peak twee season, especially nearing the holidays. I think we’re gonna see a lot of rich color this fall too, jewel tones, beautiful deep greens and reds, not a lot in clothing but I think definitely in makeup and accessories. Around this time I think the preppier leaning folks will get back into skinny jeans. I think vintage graphic Ts will also get popular around this time, something easy but still interesting. Men’s fashion doesn’t cycle through as quickly so I think the kind of 70s aesthetics I’ve seen a lot of dudes into will continue (but I think they’ll also get in on the indie sleaze, I think for mens fashion it will stick around for fall). I think we’ll see more textures, lace, fur, leather, etc.

Winter- this is right around when I think the forced “casually classy” down to earth bs will start. Twee will continue amongst a smaller group and we’ll see a lot of cute diy gifts and stuff for the holidays, this will also impact the up cycling I think we’ll see from influencers and celebrities. I think hyper-feminine aesthetics will really kick back up, Pom poms, whites and pinks, skirts and big sweaters, Ralph Lauren teddy bears everywhere. It’ll be contrasted by a new interest in grungy/intense makeup looks, thin brows and dark lips, messy eyes, glitter.

I’m very excited for these all to turn out totally wrong and for me to make a fool of myself! But who gives a shit, I’m just saying this all for fun. Happy new year everyone!

[various-things]

Retrospective on things I made in 2024! Edits and then fics. Here's the 2023 version. Putting this under a cut for length. All DS9 with the exception of one IWTV edit.

Edits:

Most of these are a minute or less because I was putting a lot of them on tiktok (still avoiding putting anything not-unlisted on YouTube until I finish the brightness good omens edits), but hey, shorter edits take less time (though I'm still a very slow editor) so I probably made more things as a result! January: Julian edit to an instrumental of "Sweater Weather" by the Neighborhood - still really happy with this one, I feel like I'm going to say that about a lot of this year's edits. Is this a sign of developing craft? Who knows! Maybe!! simple Julian edit (to a cut up and extended end part of "My Time Part 2" by Alex Jones which is a sample of "I'm God" by Clams Casino and Imogen Heap) Weyoun edit to "Came Back Haunted" by Nine Inch Nails - we have fun February: short garashir edit to "Help I'm Alive" by Metric March: Quark/Brunt edit to "Iris" by Pastel Ghost - one of my favorite edits I made this year, we have fun garashir edit to "Summer Skin" by Death Cab for Cutie - love to occasionally really lean into causing people (fun, artistic) pain and suffering and to make an edit aiming for the pain. Also whenever I chop up songs to match the pacing of a vid that I want (did this on the Metric vid and the My Time vid as well) I get to feel capable as an audio editor, which I sure usually do not because balancing dialogue against music is pretty tricky April: fancam? transition-heavy? styled Kira edit to "Crystals" by isolate.exe - I am not experienced with this style of edit and still have a lot to learn so it doesn't work for me as well as I would like but there are still a lot of aspects of it I do like and we have fun. This was one of the edits I used tracking with on the captions (because that is a popular thing to do in that style) and I'm not sure it fully worked for me but hey, trying things! I am really pleased with how the one small section of Kira fighting turned out. Jadzia and Julian edit to "The Persistence of Loss" by Nine Inch Nails - pain

May: simple + very short Ezri and Jadzia edit to part of "Dissolved Girl" by Massive Attack - this was very simple to make and I don't have much to say about it but I think it does what I wanted it to! June: Damar/Weyoun edit to "Shadow" by Sidewalks and Skeletons + Goo Monday - this is another one of my fav edits I made this year (liking darkwave may be a factor, or maybe I just vibe extra strongly with the music and make better edits as a result), also the other instance of using tracking on the captions which I don't think fully works but. I love using the "cyberpunk" capcut filter on Weyoun stuff—I did on the January NIN one too. Purple! July: Weyoun 6 edit to "Apple" by Charli xcx - I don't think I was using the cyberpunk filter here. My fav default filter in capcut (as someone who does not always use filters depending on the show etc, especially historically) for DS9 footage is "Snack," nice contrast and vibrancy boost, so it might've been that. Happy with it! Armand edit to an edited version of "wutiwant" by sauraunh0ly done by trendformusic - not much to say about this but I'm pretty happy with it! I did some extra-fast cuts playing with doubletime and the music's syncopation at one point in the vid that I personally like! December: Gul Dukat edit to "Sympathy is a knife" by Charli xcx - I suppose my only full song-length edit for the year. Pretty pleased with it and amused myself while making it which is fun! Maaaybe my fav edit I made? But that's probably helped by the space using a full song gives as far as the story or whatevs I want to tell with an edit, shot timing, etc. This one might be the one I'm the most proud of and the qunt edit might be my fav.

Fic

January: Couple of chapter updates (I think I did 4 and 5 pretty much together) to with hope in your hands [WIP], I still think about this fic often and do intend to finish it eventually!

March:

Julian and Quark, one of Quark's holosuites - in response to a selection by the_last_dillpickle as part of the rare pair ficlet game created by stuffedtiger (not @ing folks given that this is reflectiontime4me). E for oo-mox babey. I don't think I have thoughts really, I'm pretty fine with how it turned out! Writing is hard and writing smut is especially a challenge but we have fun.

December: agent handling [WIP] - E rated Sloan/Garak fic for the 2024 Sloan Fuh-Q Fest. I posted the first (short!) chapter of a 2 chapter fic because I didn't want to miss the deadline. I was hoping to get the full thing up before the end of the year. That didn't happen but I am hoping to finish it soon!

I have many vid and fic WIPs so will post some of them in 2025 at least!

My media this week (5-11 Jan 2025)

a spot of bright, pure joy this week was the return of the Questing Queens

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

😊 How Women Made Music: A Revolutionary History from NPR Music (NPR & Alison Fensterstock, author; Alison Fensterstock, Ann Powers, et al., narrator) - overall good and I really like the goal of the book + hearing snippets from interviews with actual musicians is fantastic. but I really, really wish that some of the general essays about artists (as opposed to specific album reviews) from the previous iterations in 2017/2018 had been updated bc writing about Britney Spears/Beyonce/Buffy Ste Marie in 2017 doesn't address some important recent developments in their careers and makes this feel irrelevant and historical rather than an actual new book. Also this is very much a 'dip in & out of' kind of book rather than reading straight thru which is why I started reading mid-Dec and am just finishing now.

😊 Roommate Wanted (furyofthetimelords) - 61K, stucky AU where they're both independent superheroes with secret identities and those identities become roommates (oh my god, they were roommates!)

💖💖 +200K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

It Could Be So Sweet (riverlight) - You Should be So Lucky (Cat Sebastian): Tony Ardolino/Connie Newbold, 3.5K, Yuletide 2024 - absolutely perfect tone

Preserving Lemons (ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm, saintgarbanzo) - HP: drarry, 17K - this made me crave middle eastern food a whole lot

just my job five days a week (Artifactrix) - The Martian: Gen, 1.8K, Yuletide 2024 - short but nailed Watney's voice

blue skies ahead (Infinity456) - 9-1-1: bucktommy, 19K - really enjoyable canon adjacent omegaverse AU

On The Other Side of a Downward Spiral (torakowalski) - MCU: stucky, 31K - post-WS recovery fic + accidental baby acquisition; reread but I love it

Of Wolf and Man (thisapplepielife) - Stranger Things: steddie, 5.5K - I extremely love werewolf!Steve Harrington (even when there's no monsterfucking)

Virtute (oliviacirce) - The Eagle | The Eagle of the Ninth: marcus/esca, 6.5K, Yuletide 2024 - fun, hot

Wide Open Spaces (WakeUpDreaming) - D20 Fantasy High: Gen, 1.6K - sweet little vignette during Summer of the Night Yorb

📺 STUFF I WATCHED 📺

Handsome - Trace Lysette asks about dating pet peeves

Brilliant Minds - s1, e1-13

D20: Dungeons & Drag Queens - "Princess and the Paramours" (s2, e1)

D20: Adventuring Party - "She is the Tower of Babel" (s19, 1)

Nail Polish for Every Events

Hey everyone! 🌟

Ever feel like your nails need a little extra flair for different occasions? Whether it’s a casual day out or a fancy event, I’ve got some fab nail design ideas to match every vibe. Let’s dive in!

Casual Day Out

For those chill days, keep it simple yet stylish. Think pastel shades or a classic nude polish. If you want a bit more fun, try some cute polka dots or subtle stripes. These designs are perfect for a laid-back brunch or a shopping spree with friends.

Office Ready

Heading to work? Opt for something professional yet chic. A French manicure never goes out of style, or you can go for a sleek matte finish in neutral tones. Add a tiny bit of sparkle on one nail for that extra touch without going overboard.

Date Night

Got a special evening planned? Go bold with deep reds or sultry blacks. You can also try a gradient effect with glitter tips to make your nails pop. Trust me, these designs will have you feeling confident and ready to impress.

Party Time

When it’s time to party, let your nails do the talking! Bright colors, funky patterns, and even some 3D nail art can make your nails the life of the party. Don’t be afraid to experiment with neon shades or metallic finishes.

Formal Events

For those elegant occasions, keep it classy with sophisticated designs. Think gold accents, marble effects, or even some delicate floral patterns. These designs are perfect for weddings, galas, or any event where you want to look your best.

Seasonal Specials

Celebrate the seasons with themed nail art! Snowflakes for winter, flowers for spring, beachy vibes for summer, and warm tones for fall. It’s a fun way to get into the spirit of each season and show off your creativity.

So there you have it, nail designs for every event! 💅✨ Whether you’re keeping it casual or going all out, there’s a perfect nail design waiting for you. Happy painting!

Top Nail Polish Trends for 2024: Colors and Styles You Need to Try

As 2024 unfolds, exciting new nail polish trends are emerging, offering endless possibilities for nail art lovers and those who want to elevate their manicure game. Whether you're into bold colors, minimalistic designs, or innovative textures, there’s something for everyone this year. Let’s explore the top nail polish trends for 2024 that you need to try.

1. Bold Metallics

Metallic shades are making a major comeback in 2024. From rich golds to shimmering silvers, metallic nail polish is perfect for those who want to make a statement. These colors are great for evening events or when you want your nails to be the center of attention.

Pro Tip: Pair metallic polish with accent nail art, such as stripes or geometric shapes, for a high-fashion look.

2. Earthy Neutrals

While bold colors often dominate, earthy neutrals are gaining popularity for their understated elegance. Shades like terracotta, taupe, and olive green offer a sophisticated look that’s perfect for everyday wear. These hues are versatile and can be paired with both casual and professional outfits.

Pro Tip: Add a matte topcoat to your neutral nails for a sleek, modern finish.

3. Milky Pastels

Soft, milky pastel colors are a must-try in 2024. These shades, including pale pink, mint green, and light lavender, give a subtle pop of color without being too overwhelming. Perfect for spring and summer, milky pastels offer a delicate and feminine vibe.

Pro Tip: Try layering a sheer, glossy topcoat over your pastel nails to achieve that "milky" effect.

4. Velvet Textures

Textured nail polish is rising in popularity, and velvet-textured nails are leading the trend. These polishes have a soft, plush finish that mimics the look of real velvet fabric, adding a unique, tactile dimension to your nails.

Pro Tip: Opt for deep shades like maroon or navy blue for a luxurious velvet look that stands out.

5. Gradient Ombré Nails

Ombré nails have been trending for a few seasons now, and they’re not going anywhere in 2024. Whether you choose a subtle fade between similar tones or go bold with contrasting colors, ombré nails offer a chic, modern look that works year-round.

Pro Tip: Create a vertical ombré effect to elongate the appearance of your nails.

6. Pearlescent Shine

Pearlescent nails, also known as "mother-of-pearl" nails, are having a moment in 2024. These nails have a soft, iridescent glow that catches the light beautifully. Available in a variety of hues, this trend adds a subtle shimmer for those who prefer a more delicate look.

Pro Tip: Layer pearlescent polish over pastel shades for a multidimensional effect.

7. Classic Red Reinvented

Red nails are timeless, but in 2024, we’re seeing fresh takes on this classic color. Deep cherry reds and bright, fiery shades are dominating nail trends. Whether you prefer a glossy or matte finish, red nails continue to be a go-to for those who want a confident, bold look.

Pro Tip: Use a high-gloss topcoat on your red nails for a super shiny finish.

8. Minimalist Nail Art

For those who prefer subtlety, minimalist nail art is a trend worth trying. Simple designs like single stripes, dots, or geometric shapes can add just the right amount of interest to an otherwise plain manicure. Pair this trend with neutral or pastel colors for a clean, sophisticated aesthetic.

Pro Tip: Stick to one or two nails per hand for minimalist designs to keep the look clean and modern.

9. Holographic Nails

Holographic nails are taking over in 2024. These polishes reflect light and show off different colors depending on the angle, creating a dazzling effect that’s perfect for parties or special occasions. Holo nails are an easy way to add a futuristic twist to your manicure.

Pro Tip: Pair holographic nails with simple outfits to let your nails be the star of the show.

10. French Tips with a Twist

The classic French manicure is being reinvented with colorful and bold tips. Instead of the traditional white, experiment with metallic, neon, or pastel tips to give the French manicure a modern twist. This updated look is great for adding a pop of color while keeping the overall style polished and elegant.

Pro Tip: Try different shapes for your tips, such as V-shaped or diagonal lines, to elevate your French manicure.

Final Thoughts

Nail polish trends for 2024 offer something for everyone, whether you’re into bold metallics, soft pastels, or playful textures. From pearlescent finishes to minimal nail art, this year’s trends are all about personal expression and creativity.
