i'll stand by it. dean and bela should've fucked just once

[communist-ojou-sama]

I will say that like, speaking of things people love to call "terminally online", the most boring vanilla people on the internet love to call those of us who avoid m/f romance in fiction as a matter of principle " terminally online" but ime that couldn't be further from the truth. It's because I have an active social life and am constantly surrounded by heterosexual relationships and having them shoved in my face 24/7 that fiction, which I engage with in my free time for enjoyment, is the Last place I'm interested in seeing more 'wholesome' m/f romance. I do not care how anyone feels about this!

Perfect Moment

When you had returned from speaking to Nico, the tension was still in your body. Ever so gently, giving you plenty of opportunity to shrug her off, Ruby ran her hands over the tense muscles of your shoulders. "You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm good." You plastered a smile on your face. Wrapping your arms around her waist you pulled her close. Her chest flushed to yours was a comfort. This was nice. This was here. It was simple. This was a moment you could enjoy.

"I just…" you trailed off distracted by the maelstrom of emotions within you. "Sorry, I have to go." Pulling away from her, you dressed as she gave polite reassurances.

The halls were filled with sounds of enjoyment, yet you couldn't enjoy anything until you found Nico. 

Thankfully, you didn't have to look far. Nico was sat at the bar, hunched over another whisky. This one looked untouched. The slump of his shoulders dampened the anger crawling it's way to through you. You had never asked Nico for more. You weren't sure if you even wanted more from him. You had followed his rules now here he was, bending them, twisting you up in knots. Then he'd let you in just a slither. His words caught you off guard '..when you've seen what I've seen…' Is that why he is so closed off? No, you weren't going to think about that. That was Nico's issue to deal with. What wasn't fair was him dragging you into it.

"What the hell was that?!" The bartenders head shot around at the sound of your voice.

"Let's go somewhere and talk. Okay?" Nico gave the younger man an apologetic look before escorting you upstairs.

Regaining some composure, you kept a lid on your emotions until you were behind closed doors.

"You tell me you don't do tenderness then you keep touching me in that way and I…what the hell is that?" You tried to keep your voice down as anger burned the edges of every syllable.

"I don't know!" Nico snapped before biting back his tone. He took a breath. "With Angelo it's different. We've been friends for so long. We went through so much together. There's no chance of anything more between us. We're friends. I love him as a friend. We fuck. He dates other people. It works for us. There's a line that won't ever be crossed. With you..." 

"With me what?" You couldn't let him leave it hanging there.

"There's a temptation. To be tender, to be soft, vulnerable..." He swallowed as his voice cracked. "I can't do that again." In the low light of the room you could see the glimmer of tears welling in his eyes as he dropped into an arm chair next to the unlit fireplace.

All the anger left you. Sinking to your knees you wrapped your arms around him. He hesitated at first, you could feel his muscles straining to keep him in place. The words came to and flowed straight out. "It's OK. You're safe with me."

Leaning down he pulled you up into his lap. His head buried into you neck as he wept. He held you as close as he could, holding you like a lifeline so he didn't get lost in his moment of sadness. Raking your fingers thought his thick hair, you hushed him softly. "It's alright. We're here for you." 

Leaning down you pressed soft kisses to his temple. Lifting his head he caught your lips. The connection he was seeking shifted. Wrapping your legs around his waist he stood, his lips never left yours and he made his way to the bed.  

As you landed softly beneath him, his hands roamed your body before pushing your dress up along your thighs. The air cooling the wetness between your legs did nothing to cool off your desire. The pang of guilt as the tears caught on his lashes brushed your nose certainly did. "Wait. You've been drinking, you're upset..." you pushed him off a little to look in his eyes. The warmth of them was dulled with emotion. "...I don't want to do anything you'll regret."

You saw him bristle for a second, he puffed his chest up, slipping his usual self assured facade in place, until it was washed away with more tears. Your legs, still wrapped around his narrow waist, pulled him closer. Holding him tight, you smoothed your hand over his back in calming circles. Eventually, his tears stopped. He sat himself up, grabbed some tissues from the bedside cabinet, he cleaned himself up before returning to you. He sunk heavily into the bed before drawing you into his arms. His fingertips delicately traced your bare skin, while he lay seemingly lost in thought. The silence between you was comfortable. Even with everything going unspoken between you. Nico was clearly going through something huge. With no clue as to what it was, all you could do was offer comfort. Laying in his arms, you thought about how little you actually knew about Nico. It was odd because you knew him. You knew his presence. You knew you could trust him. You knew his temperament. But actual facts about him outside the bedroom? 

"Nico?" He hummed into your hair, now completely relaxed beside you. "When's your birthday?"

"My...? September 21st. Why?" You could feel the quizzical smile on his lips against your hairline.

"Like the song?" You grinned into his chest.

"Like the song. Yours?" 

"May 7th."

"I knew you then. You didn't say."

"Why would I? Would you have baked me a cake between sex positions."

"Maybe. What's your favourite cake?"

"Red velvet. Yours?"

"Vanilla."

A laugh rang out of you as you made your own joke. Nico laughed too, nestling you deeper in his embrace.

"Nico, what do you do for work?" You had absolutely no idea. He worked from home but that's all you knew.

"I write for magazines." 

Huh, not what you were expecting. "About what?"

"Medical advice columns." 

"You're a doctor too?" It made sense, how he knew Angelo. You can't imagine him at patients bedsides, giving them comfort. Not like Angelo, with bright eyes and boyish good looks. His softness shone out of him. Nico was usually buried under his cool exterior.

"I was until..." he cleared his throat, shifting uncomfortably beneath you. 

"You can tell me when you are ready." You offered him an out as you cupped his cheek. 

He relaxed into your touch. Only giving a slight nod as he held back more tears. He was quiet for a long while. The two of you just tangled further together in the sheets. "What's you favourite colour?" He asked stifling a yawn. 

"I don't really have one. It changes all the time. You?"

"Same." 

After a few more random questions, the two of you fell asleep curled up together.  When you awoke a few hours later. The house was in darkness. The party seemed to have wound down. The early morning light fought against the heavy curtains. Nico's body was still wrapped around yours. As you stirred under him, it roused him from his sleep. Wordlessly, he pressed his lips to yours. All the need that was there before you slept, simmered under the surface as he touched you gently. His movements were slow as he buried himself inside you. The subtle roll of his hips building a release for both of you torn down some of the walls that he had build. He was free with his tenderness. His lips lingered on yours. He held you with care. His breath mingled with your as it stuttered upon your simultaneous climaxes. He didn't even pull out of you as you both drifted back off to sleep.

When you woke late in the morning all the was left between your legs was Nico's cum. Foolishly, part of you had expected him to still be there. The rest of you knew he'd be gone. Nico had let his facade slip. Like he said last night, the tenderness was just a temptation. Something that he gave into in the dark. You had been willing to let him. Rather stupidity considering your longing for closeness. Sex was one thing to disassociate. Feelings were something else entirely. Especially with someone you had grown to care for. Someone you enjoyed spending time with. Someone you could...a knock at the door made you jump. You had no idea who's room Nico had brought you to. Before you could get out of bed the door swung open. Wrapping the sheets around you, you tried to cover your modesty as best you could. 

"Hey! There you are!" Angelo beamed at you as he turned on the light. He was barefoot, no surprise there, his shirt was half hanging off him. Fresh bite marks littered his chest. His dress pants were slung over his arm, leaving him naked from the waist down. His curls were hanging over his forehead in a messy quiff. He landed on the bed next to you face first. He didn't move for so long that you thought he'd passed out.

As you reached out to him he jerked his face up off the bed. "Sorry, Honey. Did you wanna fuck? I can't promise anything. It's been one hell of a night. Maybe just me like half an hour and a cup of coffee." He rolled onto his back and his flaccid length slapped against his thigh. "And maybe a viagra." He slung his arm over his eyes. "Maybe some painkillers." He was still again.

"Angelo? Angelo! Have you seen Nico?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, he went to his therapy appointment. I thought he'd cancelled it." He muttered sleepily.

"Therapy?" You gently prodded.

"Hmm. It's a relatively new thing. Right around the time we met you actually. Before then he just dealt with his wife's death with fucking and partying." His brain finally caught up with his drunk mouth. "Mierda! Don't tell him I told you. It's not something he talks about. Not for a long time."

"I won't but..."

Two brown blood shot eyes found yours. A debate going on behind them. "If I tell you. You keep it to yourself. No matter what."

"I promise."

"His wife got sick, cancer. I was oncology, he was surgery. He didn't trust anyone else to treat her, so we did. Nothing we did even slowed it. She was too far gone. He had to watch as she wasted away." You stomach sank at his words. No wondered Nico wanted to lock away his tender side. "We rushed a clinical trial for a new drug through. A few of the test group died. It was later found to be nothing to do with us but Nico never forgave himself for that either. Fuck. I know we did everything right but it still.." he voice caught in his throat. 

"I'm so sorry Angelo." You pressed a kiss to his cheek as you held him. 

"It's OK. I...shit, I'm still drunk. You want me to get you a cab?" He animatedly gestured towards the phone on the night stand before wincing at his own movements.

How could you go home now? Just to worry about the two of them until this new information ate you alive. 

"No. I'd like to stay."

"Good." He climbed up the bed before flopping onto his back. His eyes were shut tight. "Obviously my dick is still very much out of commission but you are welcome to sit that pretty little pussy on my fa..." He trailed off as his breathing slowed. 

Moving around the bed you tucked him in. As you placed a kiss to his forehead he mumbled. "You're a sweetheart. Remind me to introduce you to my boyfriend."

With that he was out like a light. Nico's wife. Angelo's boyfriend. It was a lot to take in. Angelo's boyfriend was less of a shock. They were always honest about any sexual activity outside of your arrangement. You all got checked regularly and they used condoms outside of their time with you. Angelo had an exception, a man he was intimate with, they didn't use protection but the guy didn't sleep with anyone else. He didn't call him his boyfriend though, that was new. That was still easy to accept. The fact that Nico had, and tragically lost, a wife. That was going to take some processing. 

While Angelo slept you ran yourself a bath. The tub was deep, the bubble bath next to it smelled of pomegranates. Pouring a generous amount into the water you watched the bubbles form, trying to keep your thoughts present for just a minute. 

Sliding into the warm water you couldn't help a few tears of your own from falling as you processed the last twelve hours. The water soothed between your legs, where Nico had stretched you earlier. His touches had been tender, loving almost. They'd stoked a part of your heart that had been dormant. No matter what you had told yourself about your relationship with your husband. Sex with him didn't give you the connection it used to. Your husband was never one for talking about feelings but for a few moments after you had sex he would whisper sweet nothings as you lay together. That along with the intimacy of the act itself gave you a closeness that you clung onto. You tried to put a brave face on for Nico and Angelo you never wanted their pity. The way they looked at you, like how you wanted to be seen your whole life. You got a taste of it in college before you switched to a male dominated field. You were looked as strong, confident, knowledgeable. Something the men in your life never really gave you. That all needed to be locked away in your mind for now, along with you very enjoyable adventure with Ruby. Nico had to be your focus. 

After last night maybe the best thing was to give him some space. He'd become important to you. You wanted to keep him in your life. Maybe when Angelo woke up, providing he was finally sober, he might be able to give you some idea how to deal with this all. The hot water was cold by the time you pulled yourself out of the bathtub. Angelo was snoring softly as you dressed. He grunted at the sound of the door opened and closing, something that you didn't even hear. Stepping out of the bathroom, you were surprised to see Nico. He carried a tray full of cups and a bakery bag. "I thought you two might need some breakfast."

The two of you stood awkwardly for a moment before Angelo snoring like a stuck pig sounded through the room. "You want to get out of here?" Nico asked softly. "I feel like I owe you some sort of explanation."

Following him to the door, your stomach made you make a quick double back for the bag of pastries. Stepping into Nico's room, you could smell Ruby's perfume. "Shit, Ruby!" You gasped, covering your eyes with your free hand. 

"She was fine with it. She found a group of people with an odd number to join in with."

"The eleven people." You whispered to yourself. 

The absurdity of the night hit you. You'd come to a swingers party with a man that you had questionable feelings for, along with his lover, well your lover, had your first sexual encounter with a woman, ran out on her to confront then comfort said man. Hysteria set in as you dropped down on Nico's bed. 

When your laughter subsided Nico sat next to you. "I know Angelo told you about my wife. He called me, he said you were in the bath and he was very concerned that he seems to have worn his penis out." 

Another laugh escaped you. 

"I'm sorry." You tried to kept it together.

"Don't be, I'm definitely going to give him shit about that later." He smirked." Besides I should be the one saying sorry. I have a fucking breakdown, have sex with you then leave. I know I can be an asshole but that's a new low for me."

"I get it. You've been through a lot."

"It was the anniversary of her...that day by the pool. I'd just came back from therapy. I didn't mean to cross any lines. You were just there and soft and sweet. I...I don't want to mislead you. I'm still not ready for hearts and flowers, all that stuff you deserve. That you want. I just wanted a little softness, a little piece of what I lost, I guess. Then last night you were there and you have such a way about you. The two of us.." he gestured back to Angelo's room"...we feel so comfortable around you. I let my guard down then I freaked out that I'd ruined everything. I had cancelled my appointment but she still had the slot open so I went. I felt like I should have paid her double to listen to all that."

"Do you tell her everything? About what we do?"

"It's part of the deal. I have to be honest about what I do to cope."

"Well, at least she'll never be bored." You nudged him with your shoulder. He leaned into you some of the tension in his body lifted. 

"You didn't ruin anything. We're fine. I feel better now that I have some of my questions answered. The softness was nice but it had me thinking that I'm not ready for a new relationship. Feelings are…complicated. I don't want to have to be mindful of someone else's.  I'm enjoying learning more about myself. I kind of want to be selfish for a while. If that makes sense."

"Maybe not to some people. To me? It makes complete sense."

"Good because I need to learn more stuff. Like what BDSM is. Is that the one with the paddles and stuff?" 

"It's more than that but I'd be happy to explain it to you, Kitten." He leaned forward nipping at your lips. "Let me go check on Angelo, we can eat and I'll go over the basics with you."

Letting out a breath you didn't know you were holding, you felt the tension ebb from you. This was what you needed, time to grow into who you felt you were, the person that Nico and Angelo saw. How could you hope to find someone to love you when you weren't you yet? Nico seemed to have a handle on things. You couldn't imagine the pain of what he went through but he was here, surviving it. Hell, he was living a good life in a lot of respects.

The door opening drew your attention. A mop of dark curls appeared first, the rest of Angelo stumbled in behind with the support of Nico. 

"Don't be so dramatic, Darling." Nico practically dropped Angelo on the bed before closing the door behind him. Angelo huffed theatrically. "That's easy for you to say. It's not your penis!"

"Isn't it?" Nico cupped him through his pants that were now back in place and bit on his earlobe.

"It's not funny. Idiota!" Angelo curled into you for sympathy. 

"Is it still...?" You peeked down at his crotch. 

His big brown puppy dog eyes looked up at you as he nodded. He was still clearly drunk. No doubt that added to him being overly dramatic and his current state. 

"You're still drunk, Baby. That probably has a lot to do with your current predicament." Nico snorted at your choice of words.

"Asshole." Angelo snapped at him. 

Angelo's wild curls hid your own amusement. "What can we do to help?"

"Maybe put on a show for me?" He nuzzled into you chest. "I want to watch you ride him. I love to see these pretty tits bounce." He mouthed at your nipple whilst giving you his best doe eyes. 

"You're being a drama queen." Nico told Angelo flatly. "But I'm not against that idea." He pulled you to your feet before turning on the radio. Twirling you to the music you felt free, drifting around the space. While you weren't in his arms Nico made a show of shimmying out of his shirt before throwing it at Angelo's head.   Angelo did his best to look annoyed at him, even though he was relieved to see Nico back at his best. 

Angelo loved his relationship with Nico. It was a weirdly pure love between. They were friends, he adored the man. They just happened to fuck where other friends might play tennis. It worked for them. There was a special closeness between them. With things getting serious with his boyfriend he was scared they were going to lose that. More specifically, he was scared Nico was going to lose that. You had breezed into their lives at the right time. A perfect distraction for Nico. A sexy, smart, piece of clay for him to spend time moulding. Nico was having fun doing just that. Until the feeling that he tried so hard to repress came to the surface. The two of you danced around carefree as you shed the rest of your clothes. Angelo hoped that meant you'd moved past whatever had been going on.

Nico lifted you before dropping down onto the bed, you squealed as you bounced in his lap. Angelo reached over to trace your beautiful smile with his thumb. He was too slow as you caught it between your lips to suck on it lightly. That sent a jolt straight to his cock, that twitched in interest. He felt slightly relieved. Maybe he was being dramatic but his birthday coming up just made him think of all the guys that start to have issues as they age. He knew from experience that plenty of guys don't. It would just be a pretty cruel twist for him to meet the love of his life and for everything to pack up on him. His heart rate picking up had nothing to do with you climbing on top of Nico or the gasp that was punched out of you as Nico bottomed out inside you. No, it was simply the thought of the man he loved. The man who was moving in with him next weekend. The man that Nico had approved of at dinner last month. The man that he oddly hoped that you would like too. 

Nico's groan brought him out of his thoughts of love and back to the two of you. Nico thrust up into you as your hips moved in a quick rhythm to meet him. Angelo was already fully hard, the sight of your breasts bouncing with the rhythm just turned him on further. With a strength he didn't always show, he dragged Nico's hips down onto the bed and forced the two of you to the end of it. Your movements stilled as you watched him retrieve the lube from the nightstand.

Wrapping his hand around your throat he gritted out. "Keep going."

This version of Angelo was one you looked forward to. This one was rougher, he would take you apart with laser focus, he thought it better to ask forgiveness than permission. He would check that you knew the safe word then work your body to it's breaking point. Just the thought of him coming out to play pushed you over the edge on Nico's cock. They held you upright as your body shook. Nico's hands on your thighs and Angelo's on your waist. The heat of Angelo's hands disappeared for a moment. He let out a soft "Fuck." as the wet sound of him coating his length in lube made you clench around Nico. You were still gripping him when his cock jerked at Angelo slowly sliding his rigid length into him. Nico's chest heaved at the first roll of Angelo's hips. He looked beautiful beneath you. His head thrown back into the pillow, every muscle in his neck on show. You always wondered how a man could be so attractive that even a glimpse of his neck could make you feel scandalous. 

"Lay down, Honey." Angelo's hand shifted to your lower back to urge you forward. Once you were pressed to Nico's chest, Angelo gripped your hips, working you on Nico's cock as he worked his own inside the other man. The spread of your legs had the neat patch of hair at the base of Nico's length stroking your clit. The little sparks were nothing compared to the flames you felt roaring inside at the drag of Nico's heavy length. Nico's eyes were screwed tightly shut as he moaned with each thrust. He muttered curses. Some in English, some in Spanish. 

With a long drawn out groan he filled you. Angelo didn't stop or even slow. He kept thrusting, kept dragging your hips back and forth. Nico slipped out of you, your fluids made it easy for you to slide over his softening length, the hot slick flesh rubbed your clit over and over until you came again. Angelo finally let go of your hips as your body convulsed. Nico held you through the aftershocks. His hands braced on Nico's thighs instead as he continued to pound into him, all his worries about ageing left behind as he listened to Nico's mutters of 'Oh fuck'. 

When Angelo was finally finished with him, the three of you curled up together. All too physically and mentally exhausted to do anything but just be. You all lay there somewhere between sleep and the waking world. For the first time in a while all three of you were just in the moment. And it was perfect.

[blu-joons]

DATING DAY6 HEADCANON A⇴Z ⇴  Jaehyung Park

A ⇴ AFFECTION

He loves to tease you with his affection, the greater reaction he can get out of you the better. However, once he’s done playing, he’ll love to use his tall frame to wrap around you and make sure you feel safe and loved with him.

B ⇴ BEFORE DATING

Jae’s not shy when it comes to confidence, and he’ll be more than happy to approach you and say hello. He’d probably introduce himself with some sort of smart comment, he wouldn’t quite know how you’d take it, but when you responded with a laugh, he knew that you were someone he could definitely get along with.

C ⇴ CONFESSION

It took a little while for Jae to confess to you, he wanted to be sure of his feelings before rushing into anything. When he did confess, he decided to do it in his room in the dorm out of the way of all the others. It was the first time you really got to see a shy and quiet version of Jae, for once he was a little lost for words as he tried to figure out what he wanted to say. But when he did, he made sure he was absolutely clear to you about his feelings.

D ⇴ DATES

Your dates with Jae were usually quite lowkey, he wasn’t someone that was into fancy trips and huge events, he much preferred to just spend time with you in the dorm and do your own thing. Your dates usually consisted of playing a game of his choosing whilst you got to decide what the two of you ate. If there was one place, he did enjoy taking you to, it would be a gig, he loved live music and having someone beside him who he could dance along with certainly made the experience a lot more fun and enjoyable.

E ⇴ EXPERIENCE

Being with you was the first time Jae had been in a relationship, he was old enough to know how to act in a relationship, and knew he wasn’t getting any younger to start settling down. He’d dated casually before you, but no one caught his attention quite like you did. He’d seen what had happened to colleagues of his over the years who started dating, so he’d be a little bit apprehensive at first, but Jae wasn’t afraid to stand up to the company if he needed to, and if he needed to stand up with you, then he definitely would.

F ⇴ FIGHTING

At times, Jae can be a little bit stubborn, he likes for things to go his own way, and firmly believes that he’s right on most occasions. It can sometimes lead to a few squabbles between the two of you whilst you try to prove that you’re right too, but after a little while, you’ll mutually agree to disagree. Jae hates arguing with you, even though he knows he’s stubborn, sometimes he just can’t help himself. It’s a quality in him that will definitely get better as your relationship goes on, he’ll learn to bite his tongue a lot more and accept that as much as he’d like to be, there are actually instances where he might be wrong.

G ⇴ GETTING TO KNOW HIS FAMILY

You only got to meet his family whenever he called them, which was never the same as in person. The first opportunity he got to go home, Jae made sure to take you with him as he was desperate for you to meet them all properly, and they were just as keen to meet you, if not a little more excited to meet Jae’s loved one.

H ⇴ HOME

He was very content and comfortable at the dorm, it would take a lot for him to move out. When the other guys started to enlist, he began to think a little more about moving out and finding a place for you. He enjoyed the company, and when he didn’t have the boys around, he realised how important it was to him to have you around.

I ⇴ “I LOVE YOU”

The first ‘I love you’ came from Jae, he’d been having a particularly bad few days, barely leaving his room or taking care of himself, but you were there. You supported him through it all, and when he began to feel better again, he made sure to show you how appreciative he was of how kind you’d been to him.

J ⇴ JEALOUSY

Jae was quite prone to feeling jealous, he just couldn’t help himself. He tried to come off as confident to most people, but deep down you knew that he had quite a few insecurities. You would always be able to tell when he was feeling jealous as his face would give it away, he’d look glum and down the second he felt jealous, but you’d always be quick to make things right. He loved how reassuring you always were towards him; he always knew that you would make him feel better whenever he was feeling doubtful.

K ⇴ KIDS

It took a lot for Jae to be serious and talk about his future, you’d heard the most about his ambitions for the future from listening to the podcast. The first time he mentioned children on it made your heart swell, and when he came home that night you were sure to ask him all about what his thoughts were and question him properly on how he exactly saw his future going, children, and even his future with you.

L ⇴ LAUGHTER

Jae laughed to make you laugh, but he also loved to be around you too as that was when he’d laugh the most. There were definitely days for you both when you didn’t feel like laughing but being around each other really helped you both. The two of you would talk about absolute nonsense sometimes, but it would be the perfect trigger to get you both smiling and laughing. He’d love to tickle you and poke you if you weren’t smiling, he could be very annoying when he wanted to be, but only in the best possible way.

M ⇴ MISSING

He really struggled not having you around when he was on tour, he relied on the boys, especially Younghyun a lot. He was incredibly open about how hard he found it to be away from you, and when it was just the two of you on a call, he wouldn’t be scared to tell you how hard he found things too. It would break your heart whenever you saw him struggle, all Jae wanted sometimes was to be able to reach out for you, but on the other side of the world that was simply impossible. When the time came to go home, he would be an excitable mess, no one would know how to handle him, he’d be desperate just to get on the plane and get off again, being able to see you at the end of the terminal was all he looked forward to.

N ⇴ NICKNAMES

Like his affection, his nicknames would also be very teasing. ‘Titch’ was one of his favourites for you, he loved to mock you for the height difference between you both and make sure that you felt small beside him.

O ⇴ OBSESSION

He was obsessed with your laughter, it was a bit like a key to his own happiness, whenever he could hear you beside him, it would always make him smile a little more.

P ⇴ PDA

Jae isn’t huge on PDA, he’ll do enough to know that you’re with him, but that’s about it. Being affectionate in public usually makes him quite shy, he doesn’t like people staring at the two of you, he’d much prefer to be subtle and shut the rest of the world off so that it could always just be the two of you together.

Q ⇴ QUESTIONS

His questions would usually be when he wanted help, if he was having a difficult time or needed someone to talk to, you were always the one he’d turn to. He never wanted to burden you, so he’d always check on you first.

R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS

The first time you went to the dorm and played some games with him, you noticed Jae had already set everything up for you. He’d made you your own character, getting your features spot on. It definitely surprised you, but when he told you how happy it made him to log on and see the two icons next to each other, you went along with things. It didn’t take long before you had your own account on every single game Jae owned.

S ⇴ SEX

Jae’s very much a switch, at times he likes to dominant and prove to you that he’s a man and can take care of you, but if he’s feeling down or craving a bit of attention, he’s more than happy to sit back and let you take control. You tend to work off of his mood rather than your own, you’re happy taking on either role, the two of you have a strong enough dynamic that you can understand each other’s needs very well.

T ⇴ TEXTS

His questions are usually his texts, he’ll usually check in to see if you’re busy or have five minutes to talk to you. He’ll patiently wait for a response, but once you tell him that you’re free, he’ll ring you within seconds.

U ⇴ UNIVERSE

He relied on people a lot, he enjoyed company and having someone to talk to, and when he did, you were always his number one. He would talk to you about anything because he knew you’d always be there for him.

V ⇴ VACATION

As soon as the opportunity came for some time off, he was desperate to take you to America so that you could meet his family. As much as you wanted to travel, you knew how important seeing his family was to Jae, and secretly, you were really looking forward to finally getting to meet them and find out a bit more about Jae.

W ⇴ WHINING

He’d sit and pout if he didn’t have your attention, he wasn’t afraid to make it clear when he wants your eyes on him and listening.

X ⇴ XXXXX

His lips would press against the top of your head more than anything else, he really enjoyed emphasising the height difference between you both. He loved making you feel small and would often smother you in kisses against your cheeks and the sides of your head. He wouldn’t stop until he felt you squirm in his arms and beg him to let you go so you could go back to doing whatever it was that you were doing.

Y ⇴ YOU

You were his confide, he knew that you always had his back and supported him.

Z ⇴ ZZZ

Jae often talks in his sleep, which will definitely wind you up from time to time. You’ll often jab his side to try and get him to stop talking, but if he’s talking about you, you’ll make sure to record it and play it for him in the morning.

₍ 🍥₎ Today, we bring you a topic that many will love. We have seen conspiratorial cases in this world so diverse and full of mysteries; in which, for many occasions, the state is taken into account as an absolute force with the mission of making us their puppets for a supposedly perfect society full of dark secrets that they want to hide in order to obtain everything they want in their disgusting form to see.

The mysterious case of the Justin Bieber video makes more interesting the subject that supposedly had been closed long ago; As is well known, the rumor comes from a Pizzeria in Washintong called Comet Ping Pong which linked the former candidate for the presidency Hillary Clinton as an alleged partner of a network of pedophiles and satanic sects with underage children. It was ensured that, in that office, there was a basement to abuse certain children and do their own thing.Now, it turns out that this case had been terminated by identifying that in this place there was no basement or place that could identify the alleged abuse of the superiors towards children; until this year, which was the appearance of the famous cyber group called "Anonymous" which, in one of its published statements, revealed that apparently this rumor is true (and that President Donald Trump was involved in the alleged list of leaders in command of this horrible case); the difference is that the pizzeria is related as one of the networks that contribute to this gloomy and obscene fact. It should be noted that the owner of this office was arrested in 2019 and, to add to the matter, ended up committing suicide in the cell granted to the subject for alleged anonymous demands that involves him as a child rapist.

Continuing with this blog, we have to focus on the official video of one of the most famous artists of the moment: Justin Bieber, which specifies that when recording the video for the hit song “Yummy”, the singer was it was really difficult simply to appear before the cameras with a smile for the recording.

What makes the situation more confusing is the simple fact that the video is described as "joyful" by showing a gathering of important and powerful people enjoying a well-stocked dinner and demonstrating the pleasure of being present by having everyone their food "pleasures" before them.This may have a relationship with the "Pizzagate" case, which is rumored that other artists or celebrities risked their lives to bring out such perverse events that they were part of a powerful management that may even include royalty (such as It was the case of Lady Di, who disagreed with many events or decisions made by the royal family, and who demonstrated her love for helping certain low-income children; her murder was surprising at that time). Artists like Avicii (with his song “For a Better Day”, which was the last one he released before his death) and Michael Jackson (with his song titled “They Don't care About Us”, which describes a state with power and desire for control over its inhabitants, this being also his last published single).

But hey! Let's focus a little more in depth on the details of the video "Yummy", in addition to a somewhat complacent onstage sample, there are small details, such as the children who play the soft musical melody to make the environment more "enjoyable" and relaxing; This can be a reference to the presence of children used to satisfy the needs of those in charge and to make the case understood as pedophilia. The enjoyment of the elderly at dinner is due to the fact that everything they want they obtain, and that nothing and nobody can pass over them. Sometimes they focus a lot on the pleasure they feel when it comes to savoring the food served to them, which can be related to the satisfaction of having children at their feet to please them in a disgusting way.

At the end of the conceptual analysis of this video, at the end of the Yummy video a half-finished cake is shown and with the disorder of the restaurant around it, which follows that approach, is the image of a Justin with 10 or 12 years of age. age dressed in white; which can describe this demonstration as a hint that he was present in these unfortunate cases.

Last but not least .. a fragment of the song expresses "you get it day and night, you spend everything on what you want and you are always number one" leaves much to talk about, after the statements of "Anonymous" in relation to the subliminal message that Bieber wants to convey indirectly ... what do you think? Will the rumors be true? Will there be a pedophile network for the supposed bosses in command of the homeland and world wealth? Do these artists really want to imply that this is not a world as they paint it so perfect? WE WANT TO READ YOUR OPINIONEEES !!! not being more, we hope you had fun with this exhaustive investigation of the best bloggers of the moment Koko (as Ana) and Moonie (as Luisa).

Card #1: Henry Ford and the Telephone Gardener

Welcome, all, to our first foray into knowledge.

Geography

Q: What African country's name means "lion mountain" in Portuguese?

A: Sierra Leone's

True (though sexist?)

We start our journey with an easy question.

The country takes its name from the Lion Mountains near Freetown. Originally named Serra Leoa (Portuguese for 'lioness mountains' [which is why the question is sexist]) by Portuguese explorer Pedro de Sintra in 1462, the modern name is derived from the Italian spelling, which was introduced by Venetian explorer Alvise Cadamosto and subsequently copied by other European mapmakers.

These days, Sierra Leone is a predominantly Islamic country, a former British Colony which gained independence in 1961, and went through a civil war in 1996.

Entertainment

Q: What size shoes does Trapper John wear on TV's M*A*S*H?

A: Twelve

True

This question nearly broke me.

I'm a big M*A*S*H fan, I've seen the show dozens of times. It was my dad's favorite show, we had it on DVD, I've watched through the entire series several times. And yet I had no idea what the answer to this question was.

I couldn't find any information online, so I proceeded to do the only rational thing: watch the first three seasons of M*A*S*H (the seasons that Trapper John is in) to figure out when they would have possibly mentioned this particular factoid.

Already on question two, I'm having to do hours of (enjoyable) research.

As it turns out, the answer is found in Season 3, Episode 12 "A Full Rich Day". It's a throwaway comment made by Hawkeye after a man collapses in front of him and Trapper.

Hawkeye: "It's his chest and shoulder. Recruiting office got their money's worth out of this guy. Let's prep him.

Trapper: "And you can remove my foot from my mouth."

Hawkeye: "It's about a size 12-ectomy."

Someone on the Trivial Pursuit team is a bigger M*A*S*H fan than I am, for sure.

History

Q: Who mass-produced the T, A, B, C, F, R, K, N, R and S?

A: Henry Ford

True

(Though I don't know why it lists "R" twice)

Between 1903 and 1908, Ford produced the Models A, B, C, F, K, N, R, and S, selling hundreds or a few thousands of most of these per year. The Model T was the first mass-produced model in 1908, which totaled millions sold over 20 years. In 1927 it was replaced with the Model A, the first car with safety glass in the windshield.

Arts & Literature

Q: What's "genuine imitation leather," according to the Quarterly Review of Doublespeak?

A: Fake leather

True

More interesting than the answer is the fact that this magazine existed. Unsurprisingly, the publication was headed by the National Council of Teachers of English.

It began as the Public Doublespeak Newsletter in 1974, and was renamed The Quarterly Review of Doublespeak when American linguist William D. Lutz took over as editor (1980 to 1994; the publication continued until 2000).

Lutz wrote a famous essay The World of Doublespeak and the book Doublespeak: From "Revenue Enhancement" to "Terminal Living" in 1989. They describe the four different types of doublespeak, which he explains as Euphemism, Jargon, Gobbledygook, and Inflated Language.

He also wrote the books The New Doublespeak: Why No One Knows What Anyone's Saying Anymore in 1996, and Doublespeak Defined: Cut Through the Bull**** and Get the Point in 1999.

Science & Nature

Q: What can you ask a New York City telephone gardener to do for your plants?

A: Talk to them by phone

Unknown

I cannot find any information on this, to the extent that one of the search results is this very Trivial Pursuit card.

If you have any information, please let me know.

Sports & Leisure

Q: How many fouls is a National Basketball Association team allowed in each quarter before bonus free throws are allowed?

A: Five

True

I know zero things about basketball, so I'll just drop this in.

The NBA Bonus rule is found under Rule 12 Part B Section 5 in the official NBA rule book (click here to view it). It states that:

“The first four common fouls committed by a team in any regulation period (quarter) shall result in the ball being awarded to the opposing team on the sideline nearest where play was interrupted.  The ball shall be awarded no nearer to the baseline than the free throw line extended.”

When an NBA team draws the fifth common foul of a quarter, they are awarded with penalty free throws. The player who was fouled will get to shoot two free throws. 

I had this one flagged as being possibly outdated simply because I don't know how often these kinds of rules change, but it seems to still be the case.

Altogether, not a bad spread.

Come back Friday and we'll try to figure out where 1400 extra feet came from, and discuss who begat two different Reubens.

January 2022 - The big 50th travels finally begin

The time has come for another extended Hollodays! :) It's back to Chile to explore more of Patagonia (after my visit five years ago), while taking the opportunity to discover other places in this huge (at least north to south) diverse country. Some question why I am traveling during the ongoing pandemic, to which my simple response is that life is too short (and there's no guarantee that travel will be easier if I wait for a year or two). With Chile having almost the lowest Covid cases (and highest vaccination rates) in the world, and strict controls for international arrival, it seemed a safe option, although I was aware that the restrictions that come with achieving this may impact on my enjoyment, freedom and opportunities.

Warning: As with my previous travel blogs, since this will form a personal diary of my adventure, I may ramble on at times and some photos will not have any interest/significance! Also, the newest posts appear at the top so you'll need to scroll down for the start. Oh, and there may be a little transport geekery...be prepared! :)

Anyway, following approval to travel (based on my vaccination record) by the Chilean government in November, I had planned to fly in early January, but on properly researching accommodation and tours in Patagonia, saw that there's virtually no room at the inn until the end of February, when the chilenos finish their summer holidays. Since the country was in lockdown last summer, and it's complicated to travel abroad right now, it's busier than ever, which also means pricier than ever (and Chile isn't a budget backpacker destination as it is).

Then Omicron arrived in Chile in early January so I was keen to keep an eye on the news to be aware of new restrictions coming in. The country is divided into nearly 350 'comunas', each of which sit on a level from 1 to 5 of Covid restrictions, depending on current cases. They get updated regularly with just a few days notice, and all have gone down at least one level since the arrival of Omicron. The restrictions relate to for example, the maximum number of people in a shop or bank, the spacing between restaurant tables or between equipment in gyms. It's very fair to say that Chile likes to take things seriously! I have a temperature check every time I enter a large shop or restaurant, along with a generous dose of hand sanitiser applied. I also have my Covid mobility pass on my phone, the QR code is scanned when entering places. Virtually everyone is wearing a mask on the street, even when it's not busy, and even people cycling are wearing them, which is frankly ridiculous, especially with the 30C plus at the moment. Inside the metro stations there's a healthy black market for selling boxes of masks at the bottom of escalators.

Anyway, I finally left Heathrow on Saturday 29 January, following PCR test number 1, for which enroute I came across a taxi promoting Chile...that was a good sign! There were no trains on my planned route to Heathrow, and I discovered last minute that there was no Piccadilly Line either! So after forking out for the Heathrow Express (most expensive train per mile in the UK, some say in the world) and checking in at the airport (where I used my charm to get a better seat than was being offered online), I arrived in Terminal 5 departures to find a ghost town. After finally leaving three weeks later than originally planned, I was ready for a pint to start the trip, only to discover that the bars/pubs had already shut (before 8pm). Then I spotted someone sat at the Fortnum and Mason 'mini bar' with a bottle of beer, so I launched my new adventure with my first bottle of F&M ale, and very civilised it was until 10 minutes later the staff were cleaning around me to close!

In spite of the GnT aperitif and the two (small) bottles of wine offered with dinner, there was predictably little sleep to be had, and after nearly 15 hours sat next to a chileno now living in Brixton (small world!) I landed in Santiago on Sunday morning, and joined the long queue for the arrival PCR test, which I was more anxious about. It turned out to be a number of queue stages, each providing a card or bit of paper, then finally, after two hours, the PCR testing zone. I hooked up with a fellow British backpacker on the flight to share an Uber into town. Since he didn't speak any Spanish he appreciated my chit chat with the friendly driver, not that I understood much of what he said with the challenging Chilean accent combined with the windows wound down.

thinking about sam & dean finding out jo is their half-sibling and suddenly finding themselves attracted to her in a way that they never were before. sure, socially they’re not siblings, they weren’t raised together, they barely know each other — but she’s blood, and that gets them really hot. dean starts recognizing some of sam’s mannerisms in her and vice versa. like god, she’s really, truly their sister, her name even sounds a little like john… and john isolating sam & dean, his accidental enabling of their codependency, it all culminated in the compulsive attraction to their own family and now they can’t stop thinking about jo…

and also it would be really hot for them to eiffel tower her

FemslashEx 2020 Dear Creator letter

Dear Creator,

Thank you for bringing more femslash into the world! And thank you especially for making femslash for me, too. Gonna jump to the prompts under the cut:

General Housekeeping

Canon pronouns and gender identities:

Bending canon pronouns or identities is delightful, but completely optional.

DNWs: Explicit works where the characters are underage, ship or character bashing, kinks involving bodily fluids/excretions, stories focused on marriage (characters being married is fine, and I do like "woke up married" stories or fake or arranged marriage stories, but not stories where The Marriage Is The Point) or kidfic.

Re: g!p: Like I said, I love genderbending, and that does mean I'm theoretically okay with a lot of things--aliens, robots, magic, ABO, etc., in addition to things like gender play during sex, toys, intentionally fucking with gendered cues, clothing, etc. I'm also really a fan of stories that can respectfully include nuances of marginalized identities & experiences.

So if you want to engage with real identities in your fic, please do--I love exploring different potential "versions" of characters, and thinking about how a character's canon or canon-adjacent characterization might fit with the experiences of multiple different identities. I love stories that celebrate bodies and experiences that are considered non-normative.

My only caveat is that, if you're going to give a character a dick only so they can fuck someone with it, or if the fact that the character has a dick is the kink (i.e. if the character having a dick & using it in particular ways is the thing you’re really interested in writing), please have it be the result of something like magic, or shapeshifting, or even technology (aliens and robots!) instead of including it under the banner of trans or intersex identity.

tl;dr: Wanna write about trans or intersex versions of a character, including depictions of people with penises using those for sex? I would love that. Wanna write about Adora boning down with a flesh-and-blood dick because you think She-Ra has BDE? Have it be a magical transformation of some kind.

General Likes

Hurt/Comfort - Tending wounds! Bedside vigils! Nightmares! Reassurance! Touch-starved characters! Shared grief! Oh my!

Casefic/Mission fic - Mostly exactly what it says on the tin

Worldbuilding - Similar to genfic, but I just *clenches fist* Worldbuilding. Religion, magic, geography, history--especially if it adds something to our understanding of the characters and the experience of the bigger story.

Genderbending & Subcultural Identities - I really like exploring how a character might fit/not fit/understand themselves within IRL identity frameworks, or even thinking about how existing identity frameworks in the canon universe might influence how the character sees themself. This might be worldbuilding-heavy (I'd be super fascinated by the nuts and bolts of gender fluidity and transition with the kind of magic that Etheria has) or just a, "I feel like these two characters have a butch/femme dynamic and I'm going to play that up" or literally writing about a character trying out a haircut and a more non-binary way of being in the world and... enjoying it?

That also shows up in my ABO. I really like ABO that focuses on the subcultures that might  exist in that kind of world.

Altered states: Drunk, high, or otherwise intoxicated characters. Magic influencing peoples' emotional and mental state. Sleep deprivation, adrenaline, near-death experiences.

Thoughtful smut - You know that galaxy brain meme that went around where the highest level was "porn with math"? Yeah, that's me.

Poly - I only selected one triad for this (Dani/Sarah/Grace under Terminator) but I do really like poly relationships, and I’m generally okay with F/F/M as well, although I’d really prefer that the focus be on the women in the relationship. My only ask is that Catra (and Adora, for that matter) not be added to She-Ra pairings unless specifically requested or noted--I like them both a lot, I’ve requested them both together and separately, but I’d also like the spirit and the dynamics of the Adora- and Catra-related pairings I’ve requested for that fandom to be honored, and that rarepair requests not get rolled into & subsumed by the juggernaut pairing. (And, “requesting” can be either in the ~official request~ or in the prompts).

Following on that, though, I am a huge fan of complicated emotional dynamics. Liking two people at the same time but in different ways and for different things? Fan. Fucking someone and thinking of someone else? Awesome. Meaningful and unique present-day emotional relationship that doesn’t replace or assuage the pain of a past relationship and the longing for that person? Heaven. Complicated emotional dynamics are my Jam. As long as neither relationship is denigrated and the pairing requested is the focus of the fic.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Prompt Set 1: Adora/Glimmer, Perfuma/Adora, Adora/Mermista, Adora/Huntara, Huntara/Perfuma

My rarepairs!

These are the ships I ship because of canon moments, but are super rare in the fandom Because Reasons. And I like just about every ship in the fandom, but wanted to make sure these in particular got some love because they're fun, and I'm going to tell you why I like them, and some favorite tropes or prompts I have with them.

Adora/Glimmer- in PARTICULAR because of:

In 1x04 when Adora sneaks into Glimmer's room to sleep on the end of her bed. 

Bed-sharing is a GREAT trope with these two, whether accidentally, purposefully, or "oh no there's only one bed".

In "The Shadows of Mystacor" where Glimmer straight-up falls asleep on Adora in little spoon position in the hot springs

The day of Glimmer's coronation where Adora confesses that Angella told her to "take care" of Glimmer (even though she told them to "take care of each other", which is also super fucking shippy for me) and then resolves that she's going to do that

In "Mer-mysteries", their argument sounds like a subtextual break-up, and I love that

The scene in "Beast Island" where Adora almost gives up and then remembers Angella's last words to her and remembers *Glimmer* and even if I'm not feeling very shippy it still just hits me right in the feels

The implication in "System Failure" (the s1 episode where Entrapta is introduced) that Adora smashes rocks for Glimmer's enjoyment. Just. Y'know. Glimmer getting her buff gf to move things around for her. Carry things. Like boulders. Especially when she lifts things over her head--

Perfuma/Adora - Gosh, I'm just super Here For how Perfuma looks at She-Ra. I'm also here for: 

Perfuma and Adora getting high together and having adventures and making out a little and being happy and cozy together

I appreciate that Adora doesn't just immediately lose the femmephobia she was raised with in the Horde on joining the Rebellion (I think that would probably be more of a Process(TM) than they had time for onscreen) and so generally Adora being uncomfortable and kind of a jock but then getting shown up/put in her place. Obviously by the time Adora tells Huntara that Perfuma "is a demon in battle", she's wised up, but that's three whole seasons of material to work with :P

Anything with Perfuma trying to teach Adora how to relax/meditate (depending on your ADHD feels you can make that explicitly ADHD Adora--active meditation is a thing!)

Perfuma being Very Into her buff girlfriend and Adora being kind of a himbo

Adora/Mermista - I LOVE the energy with these two. Mermista especially feels like she's confident in her powers in a way that even Glimmer and Adora aren't--even though Adora and Glimmer are more experienced commanders/combatants. I feel like Mermista would enjoy Adora's cockier side that comes out when she's She-Ra.

Adora/Huntara - Adora's instant crush on Huntara when they meet in the Crimson Waste is one of the most memorable moments of the show for me, and this show has been very memorable, okay

Adorable butch4butch vibe

Competitive jocks competing jockily

Huntara feels very penitent by the end of the episode where they meet, I would love some penitent Huntara

I'm not sure what her fascination with She-Ra was, but in my head, it's not just about the haunted crashed spaceship, it's about something she knows about She-Ra from her time in the Wastes, and she holds some kind of reverence for her. Being a warrior woman and all

Would also like sad/thoughtful/wistful/quiet/aching moments with these two after the war where they're trying to adjust to like... living at peace. Or how they *can't* adjust to living at peace. And their shared or distinct experiences with the Horde.

For some reason, I really like the idea of Perfuma getting *both* Adora and Huntara high somehow and the three of them having a lot of fun but wow Adora and Huntara's stoned personalities. Just imagine the possibilities.

Huntara/Perfuma - OKAY. I *really* loved their dynamic in "Valley of the Lost". Just. *REALLY* loved it. The vast difference in perspectives, the suggestion that Perfuma liked Huntara but thought Huntara was prickly and didn't like her back, Huntara wondering if Perfuma can handle herself and then Perfuma showing literally *everybody* up.

Perfuma calling Huntara her "desert rose" is um. Fantastic.

I don't know if I see these two *dating* exactly, but I really just need the two of them to have Supremely Gay and Supremely Butch/Femme moments

I just have this feeling that Huntara could be Incredibly Smooth and sweep Perfuma off her feet for like. A mission. A ball, like Princess Prom. A dance. A party. A shindig. A ritual. What Have You. 

(And I think being able to sweep Perfuma off her feet would go a long way towards making Huntara feel... more like herself, after uprooting her life and going back to the war and apparently getting chipped by Horde Prime. She is butch, she is rough, she is smart and competent and god knows she's tough, and in the Waste, she was on top, she was *the* top of the food chain. And here... maybe, sometimes, she feels inadequate. Here, she's just cannon fodder again. In the desert, she *knew* things that set her apart. Here, she's just... mildly informed.)

Prompt Set 2: Madame Razz/Mara, Mara/Light Hope, She-Ra Entity/Mara, Entrapta/Darla

I was going to call these my "Worldbuilding Set" of prompts, but then I realized that this could much more honestly be called "Weird--But Sweet--Xeno Prompts”. 

Madame Razz/Mara - I was inspired in part by Noelle's remark that there's a note in the show bible that Madame Razz has dated "like, everyone in Etheria" because she's dislodged from linear time and has been around forever besides that.

Then I rewatched S1 and there was that scene where Razz tells Adora her and Mara used to go stargazing at the Crystal Castle. And there *was* the way she referred to Mara as "my Mara". And then I was sold.

I don't mean anything weird or kinky by it (which, no judgement if you do), just... idk, in my head, it's a very May/December dynamic, or, heh, maybe Mayfly-December dynamic, depending on how Razz does with linear time. And it sounds like on some level, Mara was kind of an apprentice to her? And, Mara is both very strong and competent and also just seems like this really gentle person? She seems very much like Steve Rogers lol.

Like there is a real potential for worldbuilding in here, too. But a lot of this dynamic is just very... peaceful and domestic.

Mara/Light Hope - GOD THESE TWO CAUSE ME PAIN. I love them. I love the tragedy of them. I love Light Hope's wobbly steps towards self-awareness and self-will. I love the hope of that journey. I love Mara's deepening connection with Etheria. I love the wonder of it. I love how she takes up the mantle of She-Ra in earnest.

And I love how inevitably the end comes up on them. How they're caught in events outside their control. I love how bravely they fight, and how brilliantly--and how it's not enough. I love how *powerful* they are, both of them, in their own specific ways, but they were maneuvered into this position by people who ensured they could keep the upper hand.

And I love how their love is still so strong that a thousand years later, it keeps Adora safe and proves to be their superiors' ultimate undoing. Catradora may have saved the universe in S5, but Marahope did it first.

Some prompts:

Any worldbuilding you want to do around the First Ones, the First Ones’ tech, the Heart of Etheria Project, Grayskull Squadron (ahaha that’s a Rogue Squadron/Rogue One reference isn’t it), She-Ra, the magic of Etheria, other runestones that were active in Mara’s time but are defunct by Adora’s, worldbuilding about the various kingdoms and Princesses, Mara learning from Light Hope, Light Hope learning from Mara... all of it

Light Hope falling in love with Mara--I just want to see how, and why, and what it was like for her, and what Mara did that set her apart from Light Hope’s other charges (if you think that there were others before Mara, which is kind of my base assumption but I’m absolutely willing to read another take), and just *gay noises*

Light Hope mentioned that there were “many” She-Ra/s before Mara, and while she did lie about a lot of things, a lot of her lies were lies of omission or shading of the truth, not just outright false--Mara did the damage to Etheria that she did, but LH lied about why, for instance. Or with the Portal Adora was brought through, Light Hope simply failed to mention that she was the one who brought Adora through it, and allowed Adora to continue in her assumption that Hordak was both the person who opened the portal and the one who brought her through. So, I’d be curious about Light Hope’s feelings for her other charges--was she serially and hopelessly into these magical warriors? Or was there something different about Mara?

Light Hope’s journey to self-will is TRAGIC and beautiful and I love it. And it sounds very much like something that happened over the course of different relationships with multiple people. And I want to hear about all of it and why it culminated when and how it did.

Light Hope training Mara

Mara being adorable?? Help???

Light Hope helping Mara get adjusted to her new role after she’s selected to be She-Ra

Light Hope adjusting to Mara after Mara is selected to be She-Ra

Mara experiencing Etheria’s magic

Light Hope being snarky at Mara while Mara sleeps with the Princesses has Normal Organic Relations with people and the two of them are pining for each other but neither of them really knows it consciously (after all, how would you date an AI? Would AIs date? There’s no social precedent for this. Is there?)

I would actually really like to see something with Mara and Light Hope doing what they came to Etheria to do and studying the planet’s magic, too

Magic and technology and xeno elements--Magical transformations, dreams, visions, new powers, coping with new powers, aliens!, virtual reality, telepathic/mental connections, uses of magic and tech for sex, etc.

Entrapta/Darla - I just love how horny on main Entrapta is for technology, and I love the observation that someone on the creative team shared that Entrapta sees tech as a living creature, and sees the “humanity” in it. I am open to anything here. Go wild.

She-Ra Entity/Mara - This is super niche and very worldbuilding-heavy, potentially, but I really love the idea of there being a relationship of sorts between not just Mara and She-Ra, but the She-Ra line and the She-Ra entity, going back to whenever the First Ones bound her to the Sword, and maybe even further back.

Queer spiritual & religious metaphors? In my fanfic? It's more likely than you think.

Prompt Set 3: Double Trouble/Catra, Castaspella/Shadow Weaver, Glimmer/Shadow Weaver, Catra/Glimmer

My trash children prompts! And by "trash children", I mean everything from "my genderpunk trash children" to "these two need a whole buddy comedy except they spend 95% of the film loathing each others' guts" to "holy wow student-teacher power imbalance".

Castaspella/Shadow Weaver - If you were wondering which pairing I thought "needs a whole buddy comedy", this is that pairing. Just like, a buddy comedy, but in a romantic way. They feel like they’d be great fodder for crackfic, because once you get Really Into the weeds of magic usage and these old family-related hatreds it gets either very technical and serious or just very ridiculous and honestly I like both options.

I have this very weird, very specific AU idea where the two of them have to go undercover as a married couple while simultaneously *loathing* each other and of course they bang it out eventually

I'm also a fan of whatever it is you think about them. I just about guarantee it.

Glimmer/Shadow Weaver - In my head, a lot of this is going to be after Glimmer’s coronation. 

Their dynamic definitely has shades of “Glimmer is hurting and overwhelmed and will respond extremely well to a vaguely maternal figure no matter how vague or inappropriate”

There is always the lure of forbidden knowledge and Glimmer being high on the sense of competency and power and general ability to do things, which she probably feels she’s been denied all her life--and that have only been given to her at a huge personal cost. Glimmer might be mad at the world, mad at herself, mad at her mother. 

I looooooooooooooove a good moral corruption story. I love how Glimmer seems like she’d be drawn to Shadow Weaver’s ruthlessness, especially after her interactions with Catra and how Catra tricked them constantly and weaponized their good natures and intentions against them

I've seen people point out that this seems like an appropriate pairing for tentacles and I have to say I agree.

Double Trouble/Catra - I don't know *why* I found it so endearing when Double Trouble would show the slightest basic kindness to Catra and Catra would just... melt? I mean, fine, they were getting paid to care, and DT was probably really interested in the drama too. 

But then, you have the two of them egging each other on at being terrible, too. Being devious and misbehaved. I just need the two of them being my trash children. My gender-nonconforming queer punk trash children. Who make out sometimes, or have this... tension between them. Who might turn on each other sometimes, but god help you if you come after either one.

Catra/Glimmer - Idk, I especially enjoy them after seeing their dynamic in S5. I would love to see more of them doing... whatever, basically. I love how alike they are, and the ways they're different. And I love how Glimmer warms to Catra.

Catra annoying Glimmer. Because she is a cat.

Glimmer *getting* Catra, because they are a *lot* alike in some ways.

... And also any kind of "the aliens made them do it" smut fic you want to write about while they're out in space

Avatar: The Legend of Korra

Korra/Raava, Korra/Kuvira, Asami Sato/Lin Beifong, Korra/Lin Beifong, Kuvira/Opal

Korra/Raava - Kind of like with the She-Ra/Mara pairing under SPOP, I like there being an actual "relationship" between the mystical entity and the human connected to that entity. I'm not really looking for smut here, unless you're really feeling it, but any take on that is welcome.

Korra/Kuvira - This is, like, the opposite of Korra/Raava. Lol. All my rough pairing things apply:

Physical roughness. Can include rough sex, adrenaline/post-fight sex, sparring, or just actual fighting. Two women with dirt and blood streaking their skin snarling and circling each other? Perfect. Women who are scraped and sweaty and 

Mystical elements - Reversal lol, but I do like mystical healing, telepathic or empathic connections

Redemption arc stuff for Kuvira, bc obvs.

Neither of them seem particularly prone to indulging in substances, but if they did, or if there was an AU, I do also love it when two warrior types get intoxicated together somehow

Asami Sato/Lin Beifong - Idk, I feel like Asami has probably gotten in trouble before, right? And I don’t see Lin being very moved by flirting, but I could totally see Asami making a pass at her and it backfiring lol--maybe even before she met the Avatar. 

And then after that, Asami worked alongside Lin when she started working with the Avatar. And then she's worked with Lin in a non-bending professional capacity for a while too, post-s3. Idk. Maybe they have pre-Avatar interactions, or interactions that don’t revolve around the plot of Avatar, and there’s some kind of romantic or sexual Thing between them? 

Korra/Lin Beifong - I have a few dynamics I like with these two:

Grumpy/sunshine pairing

The sunshine one is superpowered

Sparring with a D/S flavor

A lot of the “rough pairing” notes I made for Korra/Kuvira apply here, too, except there’s not so much of a rivalmancy going on 

Under the Muppet Theory of Relationships, I’d probably place Lin on the Order Muppet side and Korra on the Chaos Muppet side. 

Kuvira/Opal - Mostly thinking post-rehabilitation for Kuvira. The two of them find each other again and a lot has changed. 

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Katara/Azula, Toph Beifong/Katara

Katara/Azula - If you like me are into this ship--thank god I’m not the only one. I don’t know why I like the idea of the dynamic between them so much--Azula’s conviction of her right to rule, her redemption arc that never materialized, Katara’s involvement with the Avatar, the opposing natures of their powers, Katara’s mastery vs. Azula’s. It’s just *clenches fist* phenomenal fodder for enemies-to-lovers, the trauma they both carry, the different monsters they have inside them.

Toph Beifong/Katara - These two were super fucking adorable and had the best tomboy/femme vibe and I would like to see more of that dynamic at literally any point throughout their lives. Alternately, I am up for any ideas you have about them.

Terminator (Movies)

Grace Harper/Dani Ramos - THE LOYALTY. THE TRAGEDY. THE KNEELING.

Grace Harper/Sarah Connor - I am game for anything: Grace lives, Grace dies, Grace rises from the dead a vampire (j/k. Unless you’re into that idea). Unlike the other two pairings here, I really like the roughness and snark between them, the fact that they don’t entirely get along even when they’re nominally getting along. They feel like they’re constantly competing, and I would love for that competition to either extend to the bedroom or for them to work their differences out through banging or for meditation on how Grace reminds Sarah of Kyle or--

Dani Ramos/Sarah Connor - I wonder sometimes if Sarah calms down once Grace is gone, mostly because they’re no longer in immediate danger, but also because Grace seems to really chafe for Sarah more than Dani. Sarah seems almost soft in her regard for Dani, and I love that and I love how it comes from this sympathy she feels for Dani’s position. It feels really rare for her, and I love the juxtaposition of her roughness, grief, and caring.

For these two, I’d be really curious about anything that happens post-Dark Fate.

Dani Ramos/Sarah Connor/Grace Harper - I like all three of the above pairings, so why not put all three of them together? I think it’d be fun. Especially if the three of them are on the road together after the events of Dark Fate in an AU where Grace lives. Road trips, cyborgs, time travel, and gay sex.

Grace Harper/OFC, Dani Ramos/OFC - I know a lot of people really like the idea of Grace only ever having been with or interested in Dani, or vice versa, but I kind of feel like having more experience would make them better lovers when they’re with each other. Things I like a lot with this:

Grace blowing off steam with another Augment

Grace having drunk/high sex with another Augment

Dani occasionally sleeping with Augments when she doesn’t have Grace and really needs the comfort

The two of them fucking other people and thinking about each other

The two of them fucking and thinking about the other version of their partner

Worldbuilding for Dani’s post-Judgement Day world through the lens of femslash

#TheWeekInTweets 14/10/2016

We take a look at the current headline newspaper article and also how the on-line world responded ...

Who's the Nobel-est?

Last week the Nobel Reward Honors were handed out during the week starting 7th October (excluding the Literary works Prize and Prize in Economic Sciences). We took a saucy peek at which Nobel Prize victor was tweeted concerning the most during the week (from Monday to Sunday).

The Nobel Reward in Physics was separated, with one half going to David J. Thouless and also the various other fifty percent being divided between F. Duncan M. Haldane as well as J. Michael Kosterlitz. With three victors, and 3 times as numerous people to tweet around, there was a total of 38,023 posts centred around the physics whizzes. Of the 55% of blog posts that showed emotion, 94% mored than happy concerning the news.

The Chemistry Prize was also granted to three researchers: Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart as well as Bernard L. Feringa. The prize this moment was divided just as in between the three for their job producing and also building molecular machines (also known as, the smallest makers in the world ...). Slightly fewer posts were about the Chemistry winners - 31,420 to be specific. Just 39% of the blog posts showed feeling however, out of those, a substantial 97% of posts expressed happiness for the scientists.

Yoshinori Ohsumi scooped the The Nobel Reward in Physiology or Medicine for his research study on just how cells damage down. Regardless of there being simply one brilliant reward champion to go over, there were still 36,564 articles regarding the subject. The BBC was leading of the retweet graphes, with over 1,300 retweets for its article introducing the news.

The Nobel Peace Reward is usually fairly a big deal, with previous champions consisting of Malala Yousafzai as well as Barack Obama. Colombian head of state Juan Manuel Santos won the 2016 award for his efforts to end Colombia's 50-year civil battle. The decision increased a few eyebrows as Colombians didn't accept the tranquility deal Santos had aimed to discuss with the FARC. This bring about Juan Manuel Santon winning this year's award for the most spoken concerning Nobel Prize! 39,374 people posted concerning the Tranquility Reward, from people throughout the world:

It's interesting to see how the Nobel Reward Awards have sparked international conversation, with many wire service using social networks to announce the reward winners. There was also a livestream so people might enjoy the ceremonies right from their couches. The 2017 Nobel Reward in Social Media, anyone?

UKIP fisticuffs

UKIP MEPs apparently battled during a conference previously in the week, with MEP Steven Woolfe winding up hospitalised. It's vague whether this was because of unrelated seizures, a straight result of his "scuffle" with fellow MEP Mike Hookem or a mix of both, but it definitely obtained individuals talking.

The top retweeted blog post was a pretty questionable one, though the majority of the messages were neutral in sentiment.

The not-so damaging information below was that 90% of total articles on the topic originated from those 35 years as well as over, with 74% of those being male.

To protect his situation, Hookem also reached tweeting an image of his unmarked hands, verifying the sheer power of social channels.

Lord Sugar Returns

* Cue exceptionally strained and also hard-to-resist-singing-to style tune *

You guessed it - The Apprentice is back!

According to Spredfast, the very first episode of The Pupil resulted in 123 tweets a min concerning the show at its peak.

14,560 tweets straight stating the show were posted throughout Sixth October, with 45% of tweets sharing favorable views of enjoyment regarding the program's return.

Understandably, the variety of tweets peaked at 8pm, when the show started.

We think component of the on-line appeal needs to be Lord Sugar's witty Twitter comments which attracted high interaction. Remarkably, however, several of his tweets do not discuss The Pupil straight, @bbcapprentice or its hashtags. Though this appears like a missed opportunity, his tweets appear more genuine due to it.

We're uncertain if @Lord_Sugar's official Twitter account is skillfully handled by a very clever social media sites firm or comparable, or if the tweets actually are the amusing understandings from the man himself. In any case, we're certain that with over 5 million followers, his online existence adds to The Pupil's buzz.

Hope for Leah

Emmerdale followers were naturally ravaged to learn that actress Leah Bracknell, that played Zoe Tate in Emmerdale, has actually been recently diagnosed with Phase 4 lung cancer. A terminal diagnosis, reducing edge therapy at a clinic in Germany could extend Leah's life and also her family provided an on-line allure on Go Fund Me to elevate ₤ 50,000. The objective was reached within just three days after the news spread throughout the online globe and fans contributed in their thousands.

This reveals us that the power of news, goodwill and word-of-mouth can often, just sometimes, overpower the Twittersphere.

We'll be back next week analysing social media reactions to the most recent news. Can not wait up until after that? Call us on Facebook or Twitter.

When a Lifted 1967 C10 Was Lowered its Coolness Went Up

If you’re building a classic truck for yourself or a customer, the only thing you have to do to succeed is make sure that you or your customer will like it. If you’re building a classic truck to showcase your shop, the only thing you have to do to succeed is make sure that everybody will like it.

The 1967 Chevy C10 you’re looking at here was built at Fueled Customs in Lake Mills, Wisconsin. You’ve probably already figured out that it was built to promote the talents of the shop’s team of fabricators.

Shop owner Eric Banek told us that he paid $900 for the four-wheel-drive C10 in 2006, when he was still a student at WyoTech College in Laramie, Wyoming. The truck had spent most of its life as a campus utility vehicle at the University of Wyoming, but as Eric towed it by chain back to Laramie he was already thinking about his plans to customize it into something cool. While still at WyoTech, he tore it apart, lifted it, painted it, and dropped a stock LS engine between the front fenders.

“Twelve years later, I decided it was time for a transformation,” Eric told Classic Trucks, “bringing the truck down to the ground and converting it to two-wheel drive, as well as some major chassis work and an upgrade to a newer, more powerful LS engine.”

The chassis retains the mostly stock frame, but everything else has been modified and upgraded. The 4WD differential frontend was replaced with the stub from a 1976 C10. Belltech lowering coil springs and 3-inch drop spindles contribute to the change in altitude. Front and rear antiroll bars and QA1 front shocks and rear coilovers improve ride quality. The steering system uses the factory quick-ratio steering box and replacement components from ProForged. Eric designed and fabricated the triangulated four-link and located a custom Ford 9-inch rear. The SRI Performance centersection has a 4.11:1 ring-and-pinion ratio and runs a Detroit Locker. Braking is handled by 12-inch Wilwood discs at each wheel and a Wilwood master cylinder on the firewall. When the chassis was redone, the truck had gone from an up-in-the-air skyscraper to a down-on-the-ground street cruiser.

The redone chassis was just the beginning of the C10’s thorough transformation. Eric wanted to retain the 52-year-old retro appearance of his truck but accent it with some 21st century taste—old school in a new-school year. To that end, the exterior isn’t heavily modified. The aesthetic changes include Halogen headlights in the front and Eddie Motorsports taillights in the rear, plus a pair of custom peep mirrors mounted on the upper window frame. Stainless carriage bolts were welded onto the stock front and rear bumpers. Scorpion bed liner protects the bed. The rear tubs were widened to accommodate the wheels and tires, and an opening in the bed floor was cut to showcase the rearend. Eric says he enjoys hearing people’s comments about the exposed suspension and stainless exhaust pipes.

When Eric bought the C10 in 2006 he changed the paint color from fleet vehicle generic to turquoise metallic. By 2018, that color had passed its expiration date. He wanted a new paintjob that was simple but not plain—something that would attract attention without screaming. The choice was a custom mix inspired by a ’60s GM paint color called Crocus Yellow (also called Bamboo Cream, Saffron Yellow, Mayfair Maize, and other names depending on the marque). Eric calls it “the oddest color you’ve seen,” but odd or not, it looks great on the pickup. Painter James Weide contrasted the yellow with charcoal gray on the grille shell, tailgate panel, and bumpers. Willie Osborne contributed the incredibly subtle red striping around the perimeter of the gray on the tailgate and on the outer circumference of the wheels. It’s almost invisible, but that level of detail is the kind of thing that elevates a truck in status.

Those wheels are the 143 Torque model from Vision Wheel, and measure 18×8 in front and 18×9.5 in back. They’re wrapped in 26×10 and 28×12 Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R tires.

The hood is supported by a pair of Ring Brothers hinges. The 2004 LS engine underneath was originally installed when Eric first bought the Chevy—and has been recently rebuilt. Eric wanted the new version to make more power and to look like a classic small-block. Mike Tiry at Tiry’s Race Engines in Ripon, Wisconsin, handled the rebuild.

The engine’s true identity is disguised with a factory truck air cleaner atop a Holley 1,000-cfm EFI throttle body and single-plane mid-rise intake manifold. A custom dual snorkel setup adds ’60s muscle car flavor. Chevy script valve covers are fitted to the GM 821 cylinder heads with adapter from Delmo’s Speed & Kustom. Internal components include a Brian Tooley Racing Stage 2 cam and Wiseco pistons and Scat rods spinning the stock GM crank. Gibson stainless steel headers carry exhaust gases to 3-inch dual exhaust pipes that feed into a single 3-1/2-inch tailpipe, visible though the bed floor opening. The desired exhaust tone is provided by Pypes M-80 mufflers.

The 4L60E transmission backing up the LS is beefed up with Red Line racing clutches and wide high-performance band, a Sonnax SmartShell, Koleen steel plate, and more.

Inside the cab, the dash was dressed up with a 1967-1972 C10 dashpad from TMI Products. Below that, the custom gauges, designed and built by Fueled Customs were installed and adapted to the LS engine. The steering wheel is a billet Racer model from Eddie Motorsports mounted on the factory column. A Hurst floor shifter controls the 4L60E below. Inside Rides in Waterford, Wisconsin, added the upholstery, covering the bench and door panels in black leather and plaid cloth. Eric said he was taking a chance with the retro plaid fabric. It reminds us of automotive interiors of the ’40s and ’50s, and Chevy truck upholstery from the ’70s. Eric told us that late-’70s Porsche upholstery was also part of the influence. As with the paint color, it was a great choice and gives the truck a distinct style.

Because the C10 was built to showcase the talents of the Fueled Customs team, Eric enters it in shows whenever he can. The just-finished pickup won two First Place awards at its debut at the 2018 Milwaukee World Of Wheels.

Eric didn’t just build the pickup for publicity and a few awards, however. Like all classic truck enthusiasts, he built it for his own enjoyment—which means using it as a daily driver back home. He is also eager to give the truck some exercise at the dragstrip—probably Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wisconsin or Byron Dragway in Northern Illinois—where he expects his slammed yellow C10 to run in the high 11s or low 12s.

Constitution of India — Art. 14 — Invidious discrimination: Entitlement of former CMs of State of U.P. for allotment of government accommodation for their lifetime in terms of S. 4(3) of U.P. Ministers (Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1981 (as amended by U.P. Act 22 of 2016), violates doctrine of equality and is ultra vires the Constitution. Natural resources, public lands and public goods like government bungalows/official residence are public property and “Doctrine of Equality” which emerges from concepts of justice, fairness must guide State in distribution/allocation of same. Chief Minister, once he demits office is on a par with common citizen, though by virtue of office held, he/she may be entitled to security and other protocols. S. 4(3) of 1981 Act which creates a separate class of citizens for conferment of benefit by way of distribution of public property on basis of previous public office held by them, fails test of reasonable classification violating Art. 14 and is ultra vires the Constitution. Furthremore, U.P. Ex-Chief Ministers Residence Allotment Rules, 1997 were struck down by Supreme Court in Lok Prahari, (2016) 8 SCC 389 on ground that provision for accommodation for ex-CMs as made in the Rules was in direct conflict with S. 4 of 1981 Act. Insertion of S. 4(3), as substantive provision in statute, which sought to bring in same effect as 1997 Rules without curing defect as pointed out, is an invalid attempt to overreach judgment in Lok Prahari case. [Lok Prahari v. State of U.P., (2018) 6 SCC 1]

Constitution of India — Art. 226 — Maintainability of writ petition: In this case, second writ petition was filed after disposal of earlier one as withdrawn.

District Selection Committee, (2018) 6 SCC 68]

Constitution of India — Art. 32 — Misuse of PIL — Casting aspersions on District Judiciary, High Court Judges, misrepresentation of facts, baseless allegations: In a case death of Special Judge conducting alleged Fake Encounter Death case (Sohrabuddin case), there was non-registration of FIR as inquest report and other materials indicated natural death. Discreet inquiry conducted by Commissioner, State Intelligence Department (SID) also concluding similarly. No complaint was lodged by any relative of said Special Judge in local police station about any suspicion regarding cause of death. Prayer for registration of FIR and court monitored investigation rejected. [Tehseen Poonawalla v. Union of India, (2018) 6 SCC 72]

Constitution of India — Arts. 226 and 32 — Scope of issuance of writ of quo warranto — Principles reiterated: As long as caste and income certificate is valid and in force, a writ of quo warranto cannot be issued on basis of assumptions, inferences and suspicions regarding fact of fulfilment of eligibility criteria. [Bharati Reddy v. State of Karnataka, (2018) 6 SCC 162]

Contract and Specific Relief — Performance of Contract — Time of Performance — Time of the Essence — Termination/Discharge/Compensation/Penalty for delayed performance: Government entered into power purchase agreement (PPA) with respondent contractor (successful bidder). Respondent got a term loan of Rs 267.37 crores and spent huge amounts to purchase 253 acres of land. Respondent completed project after a delay of only 16 days (claimed by respondent) disputed by appellant authorities. As per appellants 16 days’ delay was beyond extra time of 9 months permissible under PPA. Delay was due to resistance faced by project team like physical attacks at allotted site during land procurement. Said circumstance of delay though not force majeure, are unavoidable circumstances. In case of delay, Arts. 2.5 and 2.6 of agreement provide for penalty. By interim order, High Court direction for encashment of bank guarantee had been stayed subject to condition of restitution depending on outcome of case. Penalty of stated amount directed to be paid. Termination of contract, not proper. [M.P. Power Management Co. Ltd. v. Renew Clean Energy (P) Ltd., (2018) 6 SCC 157]

Electricity Act, 2003 — Ss. 84(1) & (2) and Ss. 77, 85(2), (3), (5) & (6), 86(1)(f), 86, 112 and 113 and Statement of Objects and Reasons — State Electricity Commission: It is not mandatory that Chairman of State Commission should be a Judge but it is mandatory that there should be at least one person of law as a Member of the Commission, which requires a person, who is, or has been holding a judicial office or is a person possessing professional qualifications with substantial experience in the practice of law, who has the requisite qualifications to have been appointed as a Judge of the High Court or a District Judge.

Transfer of Property Act, 1882 — Ss. 54, 7 and 8 — Sale of remaindermen’s interest during lifetime of holders of life estate: On partition between two brothers, certain properties including property in question coming to share of one I. On subsequent partition executed insofar as branch of I was concerned, the properties were equally divided among four sons of I. Having given ¼th share to each son, right of enjoyment of properties was retained by I and his wife M till their lifetime. In 1975, two sons of I i.e. K and S transferred their undivided share in property in question by executing registered sale deeds in favour of appellant herein. I and M died in 1975 and 1984 respectively. On basis of above sale deeds executed by K and S, appellant (in 1985) filed a civil suit seeking declaration that he was entitled to undivided half-share in property in question. Though K did not have any son, S had four sons, who were not made parties to above suit. Appellant later filed another suit seeking injunction against defendants named therein. In that suit, the four sons of S were added as parties. Trial court decreed former suit holding appellant to be entitled to one half-share in suit property and accordingly passed a preliminary decree in that behalf. However, it declining to grant any relief of permanent injunction against defendants, but, first appellate court held that since the four sons of S were not parties to suit for declaration and partition, insofar as branch of S was concerned, sale deed in favour of appellant would be valid only in respect of share of S. Thus, first appellate court held that appellant would be entitled to share of S in his branch (i.e. 1/4 × 1/6 = 1/24) and share of K. Resultantly, share of appellant was computed as 5/24. View taken by first appellate court was confirmed by High Court in second appeals. After going through the entirety of matter and relevant record, the Supreme Court held that assessment made by first appellate court and High Court, insofar as merits of matter was concerned, was proper and hence, no interference was called for.
