Decembhyur Day 10 - Friendship

Nika and Thancred go way back; Thancred has always been the cool, older friend to Nika who was trying to make sense of the world, jaded as he was, and who found a kindred spirit in him. In a semi-famous bar fight in Ul'dah, Nika even took a dagger to the face for him. And yet, since his betrayal in the whole Lahabrea incident, they haven't really been on good terms. They can coexist in the same space, but it takes so little for it turn into a fight.

They're both different people now, but some bitterness remains. Nika's scar can't be undone, and neither can the deep cut Thancred left in his heart.

PLEEEEASE a nsfw alphabet for Stanford??🥺

SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG

Stanford Pines NSFW Alphabet

A= Aftercare (what they're like after sex)

Despite the tiredness and embarrassment once the heat of the moment wears off, Ford goes to great lengths to wrap you in his arms and hold you tight against his chest, where you can hear his heartbeat. He likes to let you know how well you did, and how much he loves you. Caresses and kisses, as well as laughter and sweet whispers until falling asleep are never lacking.

B= Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Ford would always say his brain. He is a cool, methodical person who almost always finds a way to achieve great results. Thinking and ingenuity are like breathing to him. But of course in this case that's not the answer; considering that the last thing he can use is his brain when he has you in front of him. It is as if only his heart exists, beating wildly at the sight of the most beautiful and inexplicable thing he has been able to witness in his entire existence: you.

That being the case, he can't find any other part of himself that he likes enough. Maybe his hands, because he knows how much you love it when he touches you. And if it's you, it would be everything—Ford is unable to pick just one part of your body. If he had to, maybe it would be your waist; because he loves to grab you with both hands from that spot to keep you still, under or on top of him, and at whatever pace he can best get those sweet sounds out of you that fascinate him so much.

C= Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

He cums a lot and hard. Preferably inside you or on your face; sometimes pushing a little with his fingers to fill your mouth with his cum. He loves it when you clean his hand with your tongue.

D= Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Ford would never tell you—there's a reason it's a secret. But do you still remember those times when you couldn't find your underwear, and suspiciously it was during the weekdays when Ford took care of the laundry, and oddly enough he took all the time in the world to iron and put the laundry away...? Yeah, well. I think you know what I mean. Don't mention to him how obvious it is that he's been stealing your underwear to masturbate with it. Don't tell him, really.

Also don't mention that you've actually felt him cling to you when you sleep; looking for more than just warmth at night. Don't tell him that you clearly feel him down there—hard and warm.

Or do. Who knows what might happen.

E= Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Technically no experience at all. Of course he had gotten to kiss other women, maybe a little touch with one or two, but that was many, many years ago; by now he hardly remembers anything at all. Besides he was very young; he used to think differently and be busier with his research. Now that the world is at peace and he can enjoy the calm and family life, it is more than obvious that the only thing he has to defend himself at the beginning of the relationship is all theoretical. It's not a terrible thing, of course. Ford is willing to experiment and learn with you.

F= Favorite position

There are still many positions to try and discover, but the most used —for comfort and practicality— are three par excellence.

Doggy, because nothing is nicer than being able to see you under him, with your ass and waist at his disposal to play to his heart's content.

Cowgirl/Cowboy, because even though he loves making love to you, Ford has to accept that at his age it's hard to stay steady all the time. Sometimes he needs a little help from you to avoid looking pathetic for getting tired after so much action—even if you tell him there's nothing pathetic about it. Besides, don't you look lovely on top of him, with your body shaking and your eyes glazed over? Best view of all.

Spooning, because Ford goes crazy holding you from behind, pushing his hips against your ass; with one of his hands working over your body and his lips on your neck, waking you up from a long night of deep sleep. This man is desperate to touch you.

G= Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Ford is quite serious during the moment, but this is because he is a very shy person about approaching you to begin with. Even if it comes to playing along with you he is the first and last to get embarrassed. An occasional nervous laugh; sometimes little choked sentences if he notices you looking at him too much, and that makes him lose his concentration. But in general he is someone very focused, who seeks not to lose the thread of the moment. His biggest fear is disappointing you.

H= Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

A lot of things happened and he hasn't had the time, nor the desire, to get down to work there. That being the case, I'd say hairy; but at least he's started to take the time to trim it down a bit and make it halfway nice for you. If it's something that would bother you, Ford is willing to trim it further—even all of it.

But yeah. Super hairy.

I= Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Ford takes care to be careful with everything he does or says, always seeking to satisfy the needs of your body and mind; every fantasy you have closely tied to everything he does to make you feel fulfilled. He is a dedicated man, with nimble hands and a sensitive heart. Sweet and witty words are never lacking, always driving you crazy in his arms and against his lips. Sensuality is never in short supply.

J= Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

He's been starting to do it more often since he's been with you. Not a lot, because he prefers to do it with you; but once in a while never hurts if he can't get you out of his head. He needs at least something of yours to make him cum—your underwear or the warmth of your body. He needs you.

He cums fast and hard, with the piece of clothing against his face, inhaling intensely; or with a free hand on your body, against your skin.

K= Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Definitely role-playing and cockwarming.

L= Location (favorite places to do the do)

Private places, if possible. Ford doesn't want to risk the possibility of being seen by someone else. He loves to have you in the bedroom, or even in his study room. Any place where no one and nothing will interrupt you.

M= Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

To see you in his clothes, to hear your voice, to come on to him... to suddenly appear dressed for some sensual and perverse role-playing... My goodness, how you drive him crazy.

Ford is a simple guy: he sees his partner existing and making eyes at him, and suddenly he feels his body warm and ready to go.

N= No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Threesomes, because he can't accept the idea of seeing you with someone else, let alone seeing himself with someone other than you. Ford is also unwilling to degrade you or physically harm you; just as he does not find it attractive to allow the same to be done to him.

O= Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Ford loves to receive oral, but he prefers to give it. He loves to put his mouth down there, tasting you and pulling out sounds that haunt him in his best dreams. You are a delight. Even if he's inexperienced, he's so desperate to have you in his mouth that the guy learns in no time to meet your expectations. There's no way not to lose your mind when Ford is taking care of everything between your legs; with his hands holding you by the flesh of your thighs, with his fingers caressing your skin.

Imagine his face if you proposed sitting on it. Imagine that, I insist. It's the best.

P= Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Slow and sensual; deep and hard. Getting all the way in, Ford always gives a little push to press himself against you, hiding his face in the space of your neck. He will talk to you through this—be prepared for a couple of whimpers and muffled moans.

Q= Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

He doesn't like them at all. He prefers to take his time with you. Although if you are very needy, then maybe he can find a way.

R= Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Ford loves to experiment! And with that always comes risk. But when it comes to sex, this all takes a different turn; and while he's willing to try new things and experiment with you, he'll always be against anything that might hurt you or make you both uncomfortable.

S= Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

The years and the various experiences out in the open have weathered Ford, and have made him a man with a lot of physical capacity to endure long hours without sleep and with a lot of work. Research work, of course; the physical stuff has always been for fighting or survival.

With this in mind, Ford is able to handle quite a bit of foreplay and sex itself, but he tires quickly after a second round—if the first one wasn't strong enough. Even if he feels he can't go on, he has no problem helping you by using his hands or mouth; as well as any other part of his body that comes in handy. Hopefully and maybe there will be another round if you manage to turn him on one more time.

T= Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Ford doesn't need toys. He only needs you. Now, if in a hypothetical case you would like to use one, he has no problem even designing his own to use with you. At first you tell him no, because it's easier to buy them; but after seeing some plans and listening to him talk so excitedly, seeing that he even starts to consider the idea of implementing other things when it comes to sex, you come to the conclusion that maybe it's not so bad.

Ford opts to use toys on you, not him. They don't get his attention that way.

U= Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Not so much, really. He thinks it's cute to see you being so desperate for him. But at the end of the day it's something that makes him desperate too. Ford couldn't stand to play with you like this for long; he needs to accede to your needs in order to satisfy his own.

V= Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Whimpers A LOT, and likes to moan loudly—but tries to drown them out, fearful that someone might hear them.

If the two of you are in a place where you can be sure not to be overheard, Ford sets out to talk to you during the act.

W= Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

He's unexpected and always manages to sweep you off your feet, but Ford is capable of the hottest dirty talk you can imagine. When you least expect it you have him with his lips on your ear, his hot breath on your skin, and his husky, deep voice of desire spitting out dirty, kinky phrases that keep you with your hands pushing against his chest; his fingers pressing against the skin of your neck, surprising you with how much this man can separate himself from the real world and let you drown in his darkest fantasies.

Ford prefers not to talk about it after everything calms down. It will take some time.

X= X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Not as long, but definitely fat. The tip is quite sensitive. Slightly curved downward.

Y= Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Since he discovered how fascinating your touch is, quite high. Although it's more what he desires than what he can get to do. If he gets careless, he comes quickly. It's fun to play on his desperation and make him wait; that might help him endure his neediness with you a little longer.

Z= Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Pretty fast; but he strives to see that you're okay after all, and that you're resting with him. His priority is you, after all.

Hello fellow Jayce defender.

First off, virtual kisses on both your cheeks for your Arcane analysis. They're refreshing to read, and insightful as well.

Something that's always bothered me about the way fans interact with Jayce is assuming that he's always the one making the mistakes in any of his relationships. It's almost funny in a way how they strip other characters of their autonomy and arcs just so they can point out how Jayce is failing his partners.

With Mel and Viktor especially, there's this narrative that Jayce simultaneously ignores both of their needs while also prioritising one over the other. Either he neglects Viktor to go and swoon over Mel, or he abandons his relationship with Mel to go play science with Viktor, or he neglects both to go do his own things while they suffer through their own plots.

And it's fascinating how incredibly mistaken these people are, and also how they reduce his character to only being important when he's in a relationship.

I'm here like, "hey, do you wanna discuss the reason for how Jayce seemingly knows how to navigate the ways of high class society very easily is probably because he's had to rely on sponsorships and donations for most of his youth to find his research because his house is too poor to be able afford it?"

Or "It's canonical that Jayce only ever had one friend in his youth before Viktor, and that was the daughter of his main sponsor, do you think it's interesting that this indicates he probably had difficulty making or maintaining friendships and that this is possibly a symptom of the Academy mainly housing elite and rich students so they couldn't relate to his struggles and he couldn't relate to theirs?"

But no, people just want to hate on him for not being the picture perfect boytoy in a relationship.

And I mean, it's not like it's just reduced to Jayce either. So many other characters have had similar treatments where they're reduced to either their most basic qualities or mischaracterised entirely. And I'm really not trying to be the fandom police or whatever - everyone interprets differently - I just find it frustrating is all.

Anyways, you're cool.

YES I never have time to talk about this bc people don't give a fuck but in Jayce's journals we even see him stewing with envy and petty rage at this star-rising student on the academy that he sees as the example of a perfect prodigy (in opposition to how much Jayce fucks things up...)

It also strongly suggests he's on a scholarship, which ties into his suicide attempt.

Jayce is keeping his experiments a secret from everyone to avoid the blowback and isolating himself further and further when they don't work. Jayce is flawed! He's proud of his dream pitch to the point of hilarity. Jayce doesn't like socializing, he does it out of obligation! Even when he's being raised to a councilor position in s1 he's PANICKING. He doesn't want the fucking job, he doesn't like the parties nor the people, his truest honest self is that moment in season 2 where he declares the lab was always his home, and so was Viktor.

But even then he subsumes his own wants spends most of s1 trying to attend to the needs of other people. He routinely asks Viktor if he's alright, if he wants to come up to do the presentation, if he's sure those experiments are safe, etc. He tries to make Heimerdinger proud despite his constant rejections of their projects, and only turns on him when he threatens viktor's wellbeing. The reason why he doesn't announce anything on progress day is that he Was listening to Heimers so-called wisdom and it only bit him in the ass. Jayce gets himself in trouble with the council by being too naive and assuming his new post will allow him to crackdown on Piltovan corruption aided by the Hexgates. Majority of the complaints wrt relationships I see people making of him are just wildly exaggerated. "He was neglecting viktor" bro he talks about viktor in nearly every scene he has with mel 😭 viktor is the one who isolates himself and randomly disappears at times bc he's a grown man with his own boundaries.

Jayce's entire life is defined by the transactional nature of his existence, his work, the patronage receives - all depending on how much he can play the showpony role without fucking it up. It's not a comfortable position. Jayce is stressing out the whole damn show because if one person isn't pissed at him, someone else will be, and it always comes down to revokable money, investments, social standing. if he really was as uncaring and well-off as some claim he wouldn't give a shit. He could just coast along life, but that's not what he's doing ever. He only 'frees' himself in season 2 by abandoning his life's dream and the rotten reality that existed around it. Which is kind of bleak, but at least its over.

Astro Notes Pt. 4

Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll!

- Both water and air signs, especially risings here, are good at mirroring others. But they often evoke different responses. Water signs are often projected on because like water, they reflect directly what energy others are giving out. Water deals more with subconscious emotions and energies that others may not even be aware of themselves. Air signs, on the other hand, mimic and adapt. They are social chameleons who know what’s expected from them. That’s why they are often well-liked.

- Scorpio placements, especially sun and rising, if underdeveloped, can pride themselves on their manipulation skills and how good they are at lying. They are extremely emotionally intelligent, observant, and aware of their environment. These are the keys to be a good manipulator. However, when they mature, they’ll use these natural abilities in much more productive ways. They grow to value truth and integrity above all else because they’ve experienced the other side of it.

- Personal experience: I have Moon in 9th house and traveling is so intertwined with my life. Two out of three siblings on my dad’s side (my dad and his sister) work in the airline industry, so they travel all the time as part of their jobs. My mom is a Sagittarius moon and she loves traveling. She would let me skip school sometimes to travel. It’s so interesting to see how astrology is not only reflected in an individual’s chart but is connected through generations.

- Speaking of 9th house. I have a theory that if you want to improve your social skills and charisma, work with your 9th house energy. People usually focus on their 1st, 7th, and 10th house because they are social/relationship houses. Maybe 3rd house since it focuses directly on communication. But 9th house is the house of higher learning, philosophy, and hope. I think we often connect best with others when we discuss about our own life philosophies, our live experiences and lessons, and our hopes and dreams. 9th house represents such an interesting and expansive part of us that’s often overlooked. I think 9th house is where our human spirit is stored.

When you’re deeply connected to this well of positivity, wouldn’t you naturally become charismatic and interesting and fun? That’s why Sagittarius is such a charming sign. Even though it’s not ruled by the beautiful Venus or glamorous Neptune, it radiates light. Work with your 9th house to unlock your own charm. It is that which attracts people.

- Sun sextile Pluto women have a very subtle way of getting people to do what they want. They don’t try to dominate or force, but they play into their natural strengths. For example, if they notice that people respond well whenever they come across as innocent/childlike, they’ll play more into it. They don’t alter their authentic self but more like, they add spice to it. Sun trine Pluto does this more naturally, sometimes without even realizing. But sextile is much more intentional.

They’re usually quite playful and flirty individuals. They gain power without people noticing. Sometimes, they even give up a little bit of power, become intentionally vulnerable, while gaining the upper hand without the other person knowing. They truly understand power = influence, not control. Fascinating people to observe.

- Taurus will take their time. That’s why they’re master seducers. They don’t make their suitors wait simply to play games. They are genuinely picky and know their worth. Like any earth sign, they know the value of time, especially theirs. So they would rather wait to see if the other person is worth it than jump blindly into it and have their time wasted. It also helps that they are so sensual and tempting, which comes from being deeply connected to their physical senses and body. They radiate feminine power. Venus in 2nd house also applies.

I'm coming in with another thought about Matsukawa cus he lives in a penthouse in my brain and bro is not moving out any time soon

he did not truely grasp how big his meat was until he lost his virginity

sure he's not dumb he knew it was definitely something but not until he got a girl in bed did he realize his shtick was built different

and lemme say that did more than just inflate his ego, he was a changed man

And doesn't just slang it all willy nilly and expect his size to do all the work, he learned the motion of the ocean and was a certified sex god from that point forward‼

Not just cocky for cockys sake, he promises a good time and sure as hell lays it tf down too😼

On a similar note can I ask how you think all the seijoh 4 first times went? when? how? what do you think?

oh i definitely fuck with this thought, anon. he's not cocky just because he can be cocky, but it's because he knows he can be cocky. matsukawa isn't like those annoying mfs that are cocky because they think they're the shit. he is the shit. after that encounter where he lost his virginity, he became a god and nobody could stop him no more.

now, here is how i think seijoh 4z first time went ( with reader ) ★

oikawa had his first time at a party. since he's very popular, he gets invited to parties often. i feel like he def had no idea as to what the fuck to do, but i mean, you're not bound to knows when it's your first time, right? he was really excited about it, though, and spoiler: he came really fast! we understand, king. hormones are everywhere, there's a rush that's hard to ignore, its a first time sensation, how could he hold back? he had a round two after that because he reached his own high, but reader didn't even get to enjoy theirs, and let me tell you. his second orgasm hit him ten times harder. i know this messed up with his ego so he's been participating in every no nut november like a loser because he says it will help him last longer (it really doesn't).

mattsun had a pretty decent first time with a date, and it went absolutely amazing for both of them. the amount of stamina this guy has is insane. they met on a dating app, both of their profiles specifying that they didn't want anything serious, much rather looking for a quick hook-up. it was then when matsukawa realized his cock was in fact not your average dick. the fact that his huge buddy could make someone cry in pain fascinated him. my guy has morals so he held back so reader could adjust but god was his ego over the roof. ever since then, mattsun proudly carries a weapon between his legs.

makki had his first time in a damn club HANDS DOWN. unlike oikawa, who had the commodity of a (strangers) bed, hanamaki went at it in a bathroom. oh yeah. ngl i feel like he's a sucker for head, so they went with that first! he loved it, btw. lasted quite long but not too long, iykwim. then he proceeded to fuck reader on the sink. some clubs tend to have full body mirrors and my gut is telling this mf had a second round but this time full view on said mirror. the ones above the sink weren't it for him. out of the 4, i personally think makki is the most experienced. he knew what he was doing the moment they walked into that bathroom. if you're wondering, they waited for it to empty out and locked the doors and didn't let anyone in for a good two hours, teehee.

this one may be a little too biased because i love iwaizumi a little too much, and in my eyes, he's a gentleman. unlike the other 3, iwa had his first time with someone he was in a stablished relationship with at the time. it was actually quite romantic and beautiful and SIKE. hajime had his first time in the lockers. stressed from dealing with oikawa and his annoying fangirls, mattsun and makki holding him back from beating the shit out of his best friend, and just built up stress from other things. he was over it. the stablished relationship part is true. he asked reader to meet in the lockers a little earlier than the time practice usually ends because he heard from others (mattsun) that sex was a good stress reliever. by the way, iwaizumi was the last to lose his virginity. the gentleman part was also true because despite being someone who doesn't speak his mind outloud, my man still had the courage to confidently ask reader if they could do the deed right there and then. tbh i feel like he likes his privacy, and i mean, anyone could walk in any second, so they both went with the showers. great experience if you ask him, but he would NOT do it in an open space like that ever again.

Choso NSFW A-Z

Part of my 20k follower celebration (past due)

Warnings: if it isn’t abundantly clear, this is smut :)

A/N: in honor of hitting 20k followers a while back, I’m going to be posting 10 NSFW alphabets for JJK men — scheduled post 10! This was my first time writing for Choso so please forgive me if it's ooc

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Choso is very hesitant and shaky after sex, usually collapsing onto the mattress in a heap with you beside him. Aftercare goes both ways for the two of you, with Choso carefully cleaning you up while you run your fingers through his hair and kiss his face all over. Choso is such a cuddle bug after sex, opting to be the small spoon so he can place his head on your chest and be cradled so lovingly it could bring him to tears. Choso thrives off of your reassurance and praise since he’s pretty new to the world of intimacy. Every word of encouragement builds his confidence. 

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Choso is completely fascinated by your entire body, the man will literally break a sweat if you ask him to name his favorite part. He’ll spend hours exploring you, constantly looking up at you through his lashes for reassurance as he trails his fingers along the plains of your skin. Choso finds it fascinating that your breathing stutters when his fingers meet your abdomen, moving lower towards your sex. He loves the way your thighs fall open for him, tensing as he moves his head between them curiously… over time you may get him to admit that he’s utterly obsessed with your sex, though he’ll be very shy to admit it.  

On himself, Choso has become quite fond of his abs. Mostly because of the way they feel when you run your hands over them, or when you grind yourself against them. They tense and grow almost ticklish as you sit on him, pulling breathy whines from his lips as you suck on his neck and jaw. Choso loses his sanity just a bit when your fingers are running through his hair, your sex grinding down on him while your bodies are pressed flush together. It’s so many new sensations that it nearly makes him feel overstimulated. But he’ll never tell you to stop. 

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Choso cums a lot. Like more than you expected to see, so the first time you two tried anything it wasn’t surprising that you got him to cum fast… but the amount caught you by surprise. Choso’s face was flushed pink, lips parted as he panted heavily and watched with lidded eyes as his pearly cum spilled over your fist. You thought you’d ease him into things with a handjob. As Choso learns more about the world of sex and intimacy, he finds a lot of satisfaction in cuming on your back, ass, or stomach. He just likes the look of it, still too timid to try coming inside of you just yet… he’s saving it for when he truly feels confident in his abilities. 

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Choso tries to teach himself when you aren’t with him. He wants to surprise you with new positions and techniques the next time you two fuck. Choso spent three whole hours on pornhub one afternoon and nearly pounced on you the moment you walked through the door. He did things you didn’t even think he knew about yet (like face sitting and spanking) and to this day you still don’t know where the “inspiration” came from. Not that you’re complaining. 

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Choso, sweet angel he is, has zero experience when it comes to sex, intimacy, and relationships. You are his guiding hand for the most part, talking him through everything you’re doing to him while also instructing him sweetly on what he can do to you. Choso is anxious but eager to learn, letting you take his hands and move them to where they need to be. He’ll take your words into consideration as he rolls his hips experimentally, eyes shifting between where he disappears inside of you and your face to gauge your reactions. Choso is a quick learner, he just needs your reassurance to really build his confidence when it comes to sex. 

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Choso has been put through the ringer by you when it comes to positions, you want that man in every way possible and he is more than willing to appease you. Choso has grown quite fond of you being on top, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, and facesitting have all climbed to the top of his list. He also enjoys sitting on the couch and having you climb into his lap, rolling your hips against his while he’s totally at your mercy. Once Choso gains his confidence, he becomes quite attached to positions such as a mating press, 69, doggy, and just about anything that allows him to press a lot of his body weight onto/into you. He wants to be close. 

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Choso can be unintentionally funny during the act, it’s more so his cuteness that will cause you to burst into a fit of giggles. For the most part, Choso is pretty serious during sex, focused on making sure you enjoy yourself as much as he is. 

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Before getting with you, he didn’t do much with his hair down there. He’d clean it when he showered of course but for the most part it was… kind of unruly. You never showed any discomfort about it but Choso took it upon himself to clean up down there so he could be “more presentable” for you. You assured him you didn’t care either way. 

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Choso is way more into the romantic side of things, he doesn’t fully understand the idea of hook-up culture and doesn’t really want to understand it either. He’d rather take all this time to learn and get comfortable with the idea of intimacy with someone he’s very into and harbors feelings for. So when you do fuck, he’s often telling you how much he cares for you, whispering soft praises and thanking anyone who will listen for bringing you to him. 

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Literally never. It was such a foreign concept to him that you had to explain what it meant. He got flustered, claiming he understood the idea behind it but expressed that he had never done it himself.. Which led to a mutual masturbation session that he enjoyed very very much. 

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Choso falls into some of the more broad kinks, he’s still learning and figuring out what he really enjoys. But he can say with certainty that he’s into the dom/sub kind of roles and bondage. He finds that he really enjoys orgasm control when you’re performing it on him, but with you he likes to overstimulate you until you’re begging him to stop. Shibari and bondage were a surprising interest he had, finding the intricacy of shibari to look beautiful on your body and enjoying the rough feeling of robes restraining his own. 

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Choso prefers a bed, a spacious one at that. He likes the versatility it provides him, giving him more than enough surface space to try just about anything that comes to his mind. He enjoys being able to just collapse into the sheets after because the man gets tired pretty fast. As he ventures further into his discoveries of everything sexual, Choso figures out he really likes the idea of getting caught… so public spaces like a bathroom stall or maintenance closet become more and more appealing to him as time goes on. 

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

You. You get him going in ways he has never felt before. Something about you is so damn hypnotic to him, you make him feel things he’s never even dreamt of feeling. You consume every waking thought he has when you aren’t in his presence and you’re all he sees when you are. 

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Hurting you. He doesn’t mind spanking, but he refuses to do anything that will cause you real pain or make you bleed. Though with sex there are some aspects that are just out of his control, and he gets that. But if he ever gets too lost in his pleasure and bites you or rakes his nails along your thighs hard enough to make you bleed? He feels terrible after. You assure him you don’t mind, and even tease him for disliking your blood despite his curse technique. 

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Choso adores it when you go down on him, it’s such a new and addicting feeling for him. Your mouth is so wet and warm and just feels so damn right around his cock. He’ll sit there, fingers fisted in the sheets, or the couch cushion, or maybe even in your hair. His jaw is clenched shut, inhaling deeply through his nose as you work his cock with your tongue. You like to call it stamina training, seeing how long he can hold off his orgasm. 

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Choso’s pace is usually set by your hips considering he lets you take the lead for the earlier stages of your relationship. Once he has the confidence to take the lead, Choso’s pace is naturally sloppy and rough, which you love. He assures you he’ll work on it but you’re two fucked-out to even express that you love it, just staring at him with glossy eyes and a tear streaked face. 

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Choso is down for quickies but only if they benefit the both of you. You like to suck him off at random points because you just can’t get enough of how pretty he looks with his rosy cheeks and dilated pupils. But Choso isn’t a fan of the fact that you often don’t get to cum. Quickies cna turn messy fast for the two of you, which turns into full blown sex in a closet opposed to the quick aspect a quickie should have…

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

He’s so genuinely curious about the world of sex, kinks, and everything that encompasses. So yes, Choso is down to experiment with just about everything you present him with and will not back down from the battle before him. You find his determination awfully endearing. 

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

In the beginning, Choso could only last maybe 2-3 minutes if he was lucky. You assured him it was fine and that you’d slowly work your way up with him. Five months into your relationship, Choso can last 6-8 minutes per round and go at least 3 with you each night. 

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

You own toys that you introduce to Choso. You waited about two months before showing Choso your collection, his eyes were as wide as dinner plates as you showed him each one. Choso finds that he really really likes using vibrators not only on you but on himself. He gives your dildos a disdained look but you assure him you haven’t touched them since getting with him. Though once you introduce him to the world of pegging / being the one penetrated he may change his tune towards them… maybe just a little heh…

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Choso will tease you unintentionally and intentionally at the same time. You made a fatal mistake by showing him how to edge and deny orgasms. He uses it to his advantage, edging you until you’re blabbering and begging him to let you cum, just to lead you to the brink one last time and stop all together… you’ve created a monster.  

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Choso is a whiner, his voice gets higher in pitch while you milk him for everything he is worth. He’ll cry your name over and over and tell you how amazing you feel, all the while you swear tears are brimming in his eyes. He’s not ashamed of any noise he makes, he owns them and wears them with pride. It makes you happy to know he has no idea that other men find those noises to be embarrassing and try to suppress them. Choso gives you his 100%. 

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Choso was genuinely disappointed when you told him lingerie was really only made for women. Bless him, he wanted to be able to dress up cute and/or sexy for you. So, you got to work and found some sexier pieces for him to try on and dammit you had to agree with him, why don’t they make lingerie for men? Something about him wearing silky boxers with leather garters that clung to his thighs and a silky red robe that hung open and only just barely covered his ass… you swore you were seeing stars and he hadn’t even walked over to you yet. 

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Choso got a lot going on for someone who initially didn’t even understand the concept of sex. Soft he’s about 5.7 inches and when he’s hard he’s just skimming below 8. He’s tanned, foreskin still present, and curves upwards just a bit. His tip is a pretty rosy color and due to his foreskin still being part of him… he’s 10x more sensitive. 

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Before you? Nonexistent. After you? He craves sex at least once every night (if you’re a woman, yes he still wants you when you’re on your period, he ain’t no bitch). 

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

It can be nearly instant for Choso depending on how many rounds you went. He’ll try his damn best to stay awake and do proper aftercare but there have been a few times where he’s passed out while still inside of you I’m not gonna lie

In 2020, Tomdaya was essentially a ghost ship. The toxicity because people wanted to be “morally right” by saying “don’t ship them, they’re confirmed with other people.” Many people went into hiding because of how toxic it became. Doesn’t that sound eerily familiar?

I would say theirs always felt a little more hopeless than Lukola. I say this because Z and T were much more adamant about the “just friends” statement. I remember Z even saying in an interview that they were “just friends,” but went on to say how much she loved and adored him. They had a connection, which both acknowledged. T called her “mate,” Z called him “bro.” Similar to how Nic uses “pal” or “dude” in reference to Luke.

The biggest difference, for me, is that Luke and Nic’s side characters aren’t confirmed. Really, far from confirmed, honestly. Z and T were in confirmed relationships, but there were always rumors that those relationships had ended. From the GA perspective, they were dating other people when those pap pics came out of them kissing in the car. Obviously, that wasn’t the case and Z and T hid their relationship with little hints over time.

Their history is fascinating, especially if you note all the similarities between Luke and Nic. It’s always been eerily familiar and feels very invisible string for them. Obviously, different people, but on paper, it’s damn near identical the story…

The amount of similarities is truly insane.

okay thoughts/timestamps for the phanniversary newlywed game video!! (random breaks are to appease the tumblr gods)

:55 - The capitalesterification of things that used to be unspoken fandom holidays is startling to me still. Jarring, even. It's theirs to own; I'm not really mad about it. But it feels weird. 2:00 - "You are our third in this video. The questioning third." I need a shot, actually. 2:13 - Dan referencing how they are basically the same person at this point before it even starts. 2:27 - Who would be caught tied to a wall at furcon? Unanimously Dan. This doesn't surprise me at all; my headcanon for a while has been that Dan is more likely to identify as a furry while Phil is more likely to be fascinated watching furries have sex but not identify with any other aspects of it as much. I think Phil probably just enjoys things a bit to the left of center, in general, even if he doesn't want to partake himself. 3:32 Who is bossies? Unanimously Phil. I love this little peak into their dynamic. Ignoring the "stinky baby" thing, they are bossy in different ways. Dan is more big picture trying to accomplish goals and Phil is more to try and satisfy his individual needs.

4:05 - Who is more likely to cut the video off due to a sponsor? Obviously this one is Phil, and cue spon segment that I skipped the first time and am skipping now. 5:28 - Who would accidentally answer the door with no pants on? Unanimously Phil. I think this just speaks to a little more of Phil's general obliviousness and ability to be in his own bubble when he's comfortable, which is kind of fascinating considering Phil seems more anxious and hyperalert when they are in public. 5:50 - Who drinks more? Unanimously Dan. We knew this already about Phil being a lightweight and Dan not being one, but I do enjoy confirmation that Phil is just a silly drunk and the shoutout to a classic dinof video. 6:36 - Who is the gayest? Unanimously Phil. This does not surprise me at all and I am going to answer an ask specifically just about this. But tl;dr I think Phil has a very binary sense of attraction and Dan doesn't. Also he gets a gold star for "the concept of women." 7:02 - Who's most likely to get a tattoo? Unanimously Phil. This Phil lore is interesting and I do think he'll end up with a tattoo at some point. 8:20 - Who is most likely to have the next medical emergency? Unanimously Phil. His body really is a fail. :(

8:42 - Who is better at time management? So many questions in and the first differing response!! This immediately took me back to the roulette game. Good to know Dan has not changed in his stubbornness, and also that he believes a divorce is when he can't see Phil for five seconds. 9:44 - Who snores more when sleeping? Unanimously Phil. rip everyone on that tour bus, apparently? Now I need to know if Dan is the type to just put in earplugs, or if he wakes Phil up when it's too loud. 10:16 - Who starts more arguments? Their second differing response, and imo the most satisfying moment of the video. Insert this type of domestic into my vein. Dan is pettier about small things but he says he's just pointing things out/observing it, and to him he's just verbalizing it and to Phil it's Dan starting an argument. Phil wants Dan to let more things just wash over him. 11:10 - Who kills/removes the spiders? Unanimously Phil, which we already knew but I love a good renewed confirmation that he removes them with a glass instead of killing them. 11:31 - Who is more likely to stand up for the other when a restaurant gets their order wrong? Unanimously Dan, followed by the beautiful phrasing of Phil not even complaining if he got "the cheese super allergy knife bowl, mmm tasty." But the dichotomy here that I really love is how in the microcosm of their relationship Phil is bossier, more outspoken with turning things into arguments, and more likely to ask for and get his way… but when it comes to outside of the relationship Dan finds that more comfortable. Dan really does have that older sibling-verging-on-mom override.

11:53 - Who's more likely to be lurking on social media? Unanimously Phil. Dan is traumatized and I do believe he doesn't want to know or see the commentary on himself or his projects except through a filter. Philter. Sorry. I'll move on. 12:10 - Who is the bigger nerd? Unanimously Dan. Dan does seem more for ADHD style hyperfixation whereas Phil is more of a lifetime fandom person. 12:47 - Which one of you is the alpha? They each answered themselves, but neither of them took this seriously. Phil is right tbh they are both betas. 13:17 - Phil doesn't like being told what to do. This is probably my second favorite part of the video. I feel like it makes sense but isn't something I would readily think of; he doesn't like confrontation so it's not an element of his personality that we would see come out a lot. But he's also someone that's essentially never been in a scenario past the school age where he really had to answer to anyone above him. He's equal in his relationship, he's financially independent, he's in control of his career. Any 'boss' he's had was an unconventional scenario (like BBC1 where he didn't have to apply to be there, he was invited) and while he's worked hard he's just done it of his own volition and not due to anyone outside of himself and his partnership requiring it.

13:29 - Who's more likely to flirt with the waiter? Unanimously Phil, which I love because this is really a slice of true Dan. He didn't once try to imply that he's the lolz horny on grindr getting those hookups slut boy summer persona. Dan is only that in theory; in reality he's worrying about politics and his own anxiety and making sure Phil wasn't served cheese allergy knife soup. 13:59 - Who's more likely to become a stripper? Unanimously Dan. Shoutout to the nakedbooth era of 2009. I also appreciate his point about how being any kind of content creator is similar. 14:40 - Who is most likely to leave their hair in the shower wall? Opposing answers, but Phil's logic is flawed. It isn't who will see it, it's who would do it. Confirmation from Dan again that Phil is very messy and also still uses three towels. 15:04 - Who has a worse sense of direction? Unanimously Phil. I really identify with this.

15:14 - Who has the highest screen time? Unanimously Dan, but they go into the differences in screen time. Phil seems to actively use his more whereas Dan uses it passively to watch things. Dan never lets his mind just be chill and doesn't want to be alone with his thoughts, whereas Phil can rawdog the laundry with nothing playing. Dan uses his phone for escapism, Phil uses it to seek out information. 15:52 - Bubbly Ben coming in clutch with "Whom's ass claps the hardest?" - I need an oil painting of Dan's expression as Phil reads this. And the caption should be, "Answer the fucking question, Phil." (It is, obviously, a unanimous Phil.) Followed by one of Dan's patented over the top 'we crossed a line' which I'll forgive him for in this one instance since the entire video was fairly free of his go-to filler quotes.

Death is a witch! Death is a witch! Death is a witch!

This all might very well go out the window in the last two episodes, but…

We’ve all known that the reveal that Rio was Death was coming. But what’s really sticking in my chest and my brain is Rio’s other descriptor: a green witch. The green witch, yes. The original green witch, yes. But at its basic, boiled down parts:

A witch.

Death is a witch! Death is a witch! What does that even mean? The implications are enormous!

The duality of Rio’s nature is what is so fucking fascinating. She’s Death! She’s one of the primordial forces, almost as ancient as the concept of life itself. She’s pervasive! She’s inescapable! All roads eventually lead to her!

But she’s also an individual named Rio. She has a face and a name and a personality, and she's had at least one mutual romantic/sexual relationship that has left a scar on her.

Practically speaking:

She has magic! Not just magic related to death/life. She’s a witch! She’s out there performing spells with the rest of them! It’s clearly not the first time she and Agatha have enchanted brooms together. Like the rest of them, she has her specialty – but she can and does do the generalist stuff too.

As very interestingly pointed out by @isagrimoire in this post, she’s part of a coven. Was she before? Is she usually? What coven is lasting enough to contain Death? All questions I want the answer to. But the fact is that this coven has accepted her. She’s theirs. They’re a little freaked out about it now that they know! They sure have feelings about it! But Rio’s a part of them.

Metaphorically speaking:

It would have been easy to boil death down into just a disembodied kind of magic. Something to do with biology. Some metaphors about death as a kind of transmutation.

But no – Death is herself the magician. Death enacts. Death is not passive – and maybe, given what Rio’s let slip about why Agatha hates her, that’s a burden. Rio describes it as her job, rather than as indivisible from herself. She performs it.

The levels of what this means are actually insane to me. Where did she come from? Is she actually the first human, or close to it? How did her powers come to her? Did she seek them out? Did she conceive of death? Did death exist before her? If she wanted to lay down that burden… could she? Or has she become the magic that she’s been practicing for so long?

pick a pile: "What will/do you like the most about them"

take a breath and choose the photo/number that calls you the most to read about one or more of your current/next partner, fs/fp, destined person's quality that you appreciate or will appreciate the most. I feel this reading may work better for singles but I want to keep it open for people in a relationship too. If I have to be honest: this started first as an 18+ idea so I might get hints about that side of theirs too, but I turned it into a reading for everyone and I'll do my best to keep it so.

I will use present tense (despite I may fall into the future tense here and there too lol) just keep in mind it's cause it's for both situations.

don’t take the reading too seriously. only take what resonates with you and leave the rest. if you're not called by any pile, let this reading slid as it may not hold messages for you. if you're called by more than one, there may be messages in each of those piles.remember that is a general reading and some things may not resonate with you. energies can change and readings are based on present ones (as you read); you're always in charge of your life.

They are passionate, they're pure emotions. They are deep and... scorpionic(?). They are also mysterious, it's not easy to read their heart and mind. I think you may wonder how many people they have been (or are) with or if they are able to love at all (it depends, for some they may look a bit too "harsh"/closed off). For some, this person may be a bit "too private", like they don't let people in easily (but it's not that this has to be a bad trait at all). They may be pretty hot/fascinating and always surrounded by people (people tend to be really easily attracted by them); kinda gives player vibes (no matter their gender) but ofc it can only be vibes. May have also an important job (prob. finances)/be very ambitious/wealthy. They can transform a lot, maybe they know how to get people to like them cause they're very good to read them (a little bit manipulating?). They mostly seem this way though, especially to those who don't know them well or they're like this in their job (to clients). But they don't care. I don't think that's their true core anyway. You'll like the fact that they're more themselves with you and show you a side nobody else is really aware of. And you'll like the passion (*ahem, 18+ too*) and "bad" type-vibes they express. They may have been through some rough stuff, you'll like how strong and not scared to go deep down within themselves they are. They put their heart in all they do.

You'll like their shape. How they look. You'll also like how adaptable they are. The're also not scared of being themselves, of making mistakes (eventually), of just being out and about and letting parts of themselves stay/stand out. Not scared of being seen for who they are. They're vulnerable (at times to a fault). You'll like that openness, that truth coming from them. "That's hot" I keep hearing. They seem in control of their life and to not care much about the obstacles on their path. Something as "You like me, good; you don't like me, good too". They seem to not care much about others' opinions or let those hinder them. they're very determined, they have goals and want to get there/have/realize them. But despite this huge masculine energy of theirs, they're also very tender and nice (they probably recently healed this part of them). They're not scared of letting their feminine energy out cause they know it's backed up by their masculine. Their mind is very interesting, they seem very collected, and bright. Smart (even book smart). Top grader, for some. They're creative and have beautiful ideas as well. You'll like their mind a lot. They also know how to wait for results. They also are very good with words and not scared of wording their emotions: they may often tell you what they think, also about you even at the most unexpected times (especially that they love you). They look very full of surprises for you. They'll surprise you a lot.

pile 3

You'll love their purity. How emotional they feel. How giving to you they are. They would give you the moon and the stars if they could. You'll love how they love you. Even from the little things they do, the little attentions they give to you, how they remember the smallest details about you (you're not used to this). They are very determined to love you how you deserve, probably to teach you how to love yourself too. It's like a mission to them. They want to help you see your worth. You may meet them in a difficult time or they just like to be around to support you anytime you feel down. They like to take you by the hand and help you go on in your darkest hours. They really care deeply about you. They will help you be more brave, as they are. They aren't afraid of challenges, nor of changes. They seem very fulfilled emotionally so they love to give to you. You'll feel very blessed to have them around. Not sure if it's a romantic thing for everyone or it will be so for long, it could be a friend turning into romantic or vice versa. It feels kinda related to a specific time of your life (not for everyone though ofc). OR it may mean they'll bring a new chapter in your life and help you change yourself once and for all, be more out and about, be more in tune with your emotions and not scared of/overwhelmed by things (or you) not always being "perfect". They probably also have a more s3xual side to them not everyone is aware of and that may come out when you are ready too.

pile 4

I think you like the care/delicacy they show with you and your feelings. They don't rush, they understand and give you time. They are healing to you. You're probably a bit closed off atm, but they seem to be able to find their way right through you or aren't scared to put in some work to get to you (honestly it could be them too: for a few, they may be closed off and you'll need to put in some work to reach them). They support you and protect you too. They seem very very delicate with your emotional side. Very very sweet too. Really balanced between their masculine and feminine energy but very in touch with the feminine so to be welcoming and caring. They are able to see things from different perspectives, and they'd like for you to let them in. So be open with them, they won't judge you, just wanna help you (it may feel triggering at first cause you're not used to trust that much). They like to help people in general (may be their job too, somehow). You'll also like how stabilizing they feel to you, how grounding. They also feel very funny and enthusiastic, very positive in general, how good they are in letting go, and you probably will realize you missed that side in your life. They seem to be a teacher of yours for certain aspects of your life. You'll like how comfortable they feel, and you'll like they feel like a dream come true as well.

Acolyte fandom, today we’re going to talk about Qimir!! What were your favorite moments? 😍😍😍

Qimir is fascinating. I love every scene with him. We first see him as a clumsy yet kind-hearted man, then as a strong, cold, and calculating one, and later as a vulnerable and charming lover. But what I want to see the most is his role as a mentor with Osha. He's an incredibly complex and multifaceted character!

The quotes he delivers, his personalities—everything about him is captivating. Qimir is a great character, very interesting. Leslye really did an incredible job assembling the entire cast of The Acolyte.

One of the things that impresses me the most about Manny is the chemistry he has with Amandla. Just watching the way Qimir interacts with Mae and Osha, you can immediately notice the difference. It's impressive! It's fantastic! Their performances are incredible, and it only highlights their dynamic even more.

As The Stranger, he's so intimidating, so strong, and always spitting out the truth. It was the first time I truly felt a strong connection with someone from the dark side. And that’s the point—because not everyone is evil for no reason, we’re all shades of gray. Giving that depth to both the Jedi and to him was really well done and exciting.

Manny trained for such a long time for his role as Qimir, and you can tell. His skill is amazing, and watching him do almost all his scenes, portraying this villain who, even though we knew it was him, the way they present him is really what matters. It was so impactful!

I especially love the dual choreography in his fight scenes, something that's rarely done well, especially when one fights against two at once. And the fight between Qimir and Master Sol in the last episode was incredible!! Manny’s performance was outstanding, as was the entire cast's. What an incredible job!

Something I want to emphasize is that, while this man is physically attractive, what really captivates women is how he understands Osha, how he listens to her and understands her. He’s a vulnerable man who talks to her, who’s kind, who gives her choices, and who considers her at all times. One of my favorite scenes is the entire episode 6 (because there are so many reasons I love this episode!). Every interaction between Qimir and Osha in that episode is amazing. He always gives her a choice. He makes her face herself, heals her wounds, sets her free, and sees her. He understands her because he has lost everything too. In contrast, to talk Sol and Mae, he has to knock them out and tie them up. Although I won’t deny it, that scene is chilling, especially when Sol tells him she won’t hurt him, but the first thing she does when she runs away is to chase her and try to take her down.

I love Qimir, and I want to see more of him in that role, but I also want to see more of his vulnerable side, to understand what led him to the dark side. I’m curious to know how he found Mae and how his training began. I want to see more of this magnificent duo. I also want to see more of the relationship between Osha and Qimir, both as master and pupil, and in their lovers’ role.

Qimir is a character full of nuances, and I love how Leslye did such a great job, a role only Manny could have played so perfectly. The whole cast did amazing work. What I love most is how Manny and Amandla would get excited every day to be on Star Wars. You can clearly see the passion and love they have for the saga!

It’s very important to mention that there is no Qimir without Osha or Mae, because his life is deeply connected to theirs since Qimir decided to train Mae. There is still a part of his story we don’t know, but once we learn about his past with Vernestra and Sol, we’ll truly see that his journey revolves around training Mae and then Osha. This relationship is crucial to the development of all their stories, and it's a key element we want to explore—the important bond between them.

Beloved, why do you ship jonelias? Why do they consume your waking thoughts so?

I am glad you asked :D

So! I really enjoy uneven "problematic" power dynamics and this was what originally attracted me to jonelias. I listened to mag 92 and thought "jonelias seems like something I would ship" because even then I could tell they fit my taste. I also just like protagonist/antagonist ships, complicated relationships are my favourites

mag 92 is one of my favourite episodes as a jonelias shippers for a couple of reasons. at first it was solely the conversation between Jon and Elias and how it was about Jon getting changed by Elias, because of Elias. Jon was being openly vulnerable! "Am I still human, Elias?" he asks Elias who has just confessed to murder and keeping people hostage. Jon, who had so much respect and admiration for Elias' expertise, turns to him even in that moment. It is Elias who he seeks reassurance from, he asks another monster if he is one

Another aspect of mag 92 I am obsessed with is the opening statement and the way Elias puts Jon above everyone else (telling him to discard everyone in his pursuit) while also placing Jon on the same level as him

(Side note: I am still not sure if I prefer Jon to sit on Elias' lap/have Elias clean his wound or to focus more on what they don't do, on the gaping distance between them that they both wish wasn't there but both have their own reasons to not bridge it. Both are so good)

Vampire metaphor! Jon is a walking vampire metaphor and Elias is his maker, his creator. I am so obsessed with the idea of Jon feeding on Elias, pulling fear from his mind and Elias enjoying the intrusion and the freedom the compulsion brings. He said it felt tingly! Freak (affectionate). Also, telepathy and mind meld is so delicious

What I love most about jonelias is what I love in others ships: obsession and fully knowing each other. Beholding allows to take knowing and seeing your partner to another level, Jon and Elias can know and see each other in ways other people in their lives can't

Moral corruption is inherently fascinating to me and especially Jon. He gets worse throughout the series, his only anchors to humanity are his own guilt and the people around him who more often than not just reinforce that guilt (this makes sense in the context of the story but you can't guilt yourself into being a better person and that's why it doesn't really work for Jon but I digressed). I like thinking about all the ways Jon could be worse, the ways Jonah could push Jon into following his worst impulses, into choosing to be a monster instead of drowning in guilt to not feel helpless and powerless

I love jonelias when it's about all the things they wish to do but don't because they have other priorities, because they know but don't understand each other just like their patron. I love jonelias when it's Jon giving in, letting go. Of his morals, of his guilt, letting Elias shape him into something new. I love the idea of Jonah Magnus who worships no god, not even the one he serves, adoring and worshipping Jon and especially the parts of Jon that he himself had shaped. The Pygmalion and Galatea of it

Jonah chose Jon! He saw him and knew he was right! Jonah wants the Archivist and he wants the Archivist to be Jon. Sure, Jon was marked by the Web first but Jonah picked him too and I love it. It's fascinating from both of theirs perspective, Jonah feeling proud he made the right choice and Jon having a complicated mix of feelings about it. He hates that he was chosen and he just a little happy that he was chosen and he hates himself for it

Another thing I really like is the way they say each other's name! Elias calls Jon by his name a lot and I hate when people act like he doesn't

Jon and Jonah are very similar and I find that fascinating too. They are both workaholics and nerds and losers and freaks!! And I love them for that. And and and I really do think they could have eventually been truly equal if not for Jonahs prioritising his evil plan

Also they are sexy, I don't make the rules

[dododan]

Can I take him on a date please? PLEASE?!

You surprised Him with your courage. Perhaps at another time He would have rejected your proposal.

Not because he doesn't want to have fun. He is the God of Pestilence. Spending time with him is reserved only for those most trusted believers and his spouses.

He is not stupid, even his own faithful if they consider it an act of faith can hurt you.

But this time Kallamar didn't sense evil or warped intentions from you. Besides, he has been very bored lately.

That's why he doesn't see any contraindications.

So, Mortal, what do you propose for our date?

He said in a low voice, gently mussing your hand. A blush covered your face, and the God of Pestilence smiled cocky. He loved to tease his followers. That helplessness of theirs.

One person made me think about the concept of spouses in my interpretation of Cotl~.

@lemonlamblaura

A couple of people have already seen Margo and Heket, so it's time for such a collective explanation of how the bishops view spouses and whether they even have them.

Shamura:

Currently, the Shamura do not have spouses. They only have a trusted circle of acolytes.

The God of War views spouses as some version of acolytes. Acolytes act as disciples - trusted believers who, in addition to being extremely loyal, see more than other believers. They ask questions and want to know. Help the cult grow. They are not blind believers who merely follow orders. They act as helpers in leading worship, while spouses, according to Shamura, have a more social role. They are the persons who convey God's will, but they are also their companion for conversation or spending time. The spouse is supposed to make God perceived more materially. He also serves as a person who entertains and deals with relationships in worship.

For Shamura, the spouse is not someone romantic. Not anymore.

I have an idea about Shamura's story, that before she found her siblings she had a spouse and was in love with a mortal man with reciprocity. But love was cruel to them because of which they decided that Mortals and Gods could not enter into a romantic relationship. There are too many differences between Mortals and Gods for them to speak one language. Their siblings do not know

Kallamar:

He has had several spouses. He currently has three (two women and one man). Like Shamura, he sees spouses as certain people for companionship and more direct contact with the faithful. Enjoy spending time on something other than worship management. He does not see spouses as romantic companions, although he enjoys such benefits.

Kallamar values his spouses and even likes them, but knows that they cannot offer him the true love that mortals share with each other. This makes him feel lonely, and for a brief moment he tries not to think that for his spouses, love and deep faith are often one and the same thing. He wishes he could one day see in their mind only love for him as a person, and not love/faith for God. He is very romantic, and likes to spoil his spouses, but sometimes he falls into a kind of frown because of this, so his spouses know that then it is better to avoid him, because they are not able to relieve him.

Naridner:

Officially, there is no spouse.

Many including his siblings (with the exception of Heket) believe that Narinder, as the God of Death, best understands the differences between Gods and Mortals. Therefore, he will never have a spouse, because he knows that love is not for them.

But the truth is that he has a secret lover whom he loves with a sincere and deep love. Naridner sees love as the only pure emotion that allows him to feel alive. He has always been fascinated by love, although he has tried to hide it from Shamura and Kallamar, knowing their opinions on the subject.

Love intrigued him. He saw how much love was pursued by mortals, mourning those who had passed away. How, as part of that love, they can do anything even face it.

Narinder's lover is Forneus. She was the only one who saw his sensitive side and went from being his trusted acolyte to lover. Aym and Baal are his biological children.

Heket:

At first she saw love as something trivial and also impossible for the Gods. More as something unattainable like Kallamar than as something inappropriate like Shamura. However, after conversations with Narinder and meeting Margo, she began to open up to love. She doesn't want to reveal more about her, as she wants to continue the story of their love “Immortal Love” after the new year.

But it will have only Margo.

Leshy:

For now, what I'm talking about is the time before Narinder's betrayal, and back then Leshy was too young to have a spouse. He was not yet a full-fledged God then (his powers/crown were not fully awakened). And between his reaching maturity and Narinder's betrayal, he did not yet have a spouse.

I think this concept doesn't interest him at all even after Nari's betrayal/before the Lamb's Crusade. If it happened that someone would be brave or foolish enough to propose marriage to the God of Chaos, he would not likely enjoy this role for long. For him, spouses would be a kind of toys with which he can do more without any consequences.

Kallamar hears his followers

What happens when you call God a "baby girl"?

When the God of Pestilence is adored

He is gentle at times

[thomas-the-goat-of-satan]

something so interesting to me about Satosugu is that a lot of dynamics similar to theirs in media are almost Entirely defined by the constant push and pull. the explosive fights, the volatile outbursts. but not Satosugu. as far as we know, excluding the few times that they apparently met up during their decade apart, they don't even Interact often enough for that to be a key aspect of their relationship. they don't Have that overwhelming sense of animosity or brutality hanging between them. bitterness, anger; sure. but it never really manifests outward. it's almost entirely internalized. the ripple effect that their rift ends up causing is Significantly more devastating than anything they ever do to each other directly. and that's so FASCINATING to me, because very few people would've gotten their hands on this particular relationship and refrained from having them engage in The Intricate Rituals. lmfao. but no!! instead, we see Geto's muscle memory activating in order to protect Gojo, even After his death. when they break apart, Geto isn't needlessly cruel to Gojo!! he's not trying to cut and scar any more than his leaving will already do. the one great act of violence that happens between them is when Gojo kills Geto in the end. and even then... it's almost a predetermined kind of violence, isn't it. there was no other way for their story to end, and they both knew and agreed to it years ago, when Gojo let Geto walk away. a consensual act of violence. and even THEN!! it was tender in its execution!! exceedingly so!! against seemingly all odds, gentleness, understanding, and softness follows them to their very graves.

[utilitycaster]

do you really think the reason Imogen doesnt get as much meta as Caleb (who got every little detail discussed with thousands of notes!) is because people are afraid of a reaction, when its so obviously sexism?

The same reason she doesn't get the exact number of notes as Caleb? No. There's multiple reasons. I'm sure some is misogyny. Some is probably audience size for the respective campaigns, and some is simply accumulation over time - a post about Caleb from 2019 has had 5 years to gather notes.

But also. Are you fucking stupid. You literally showed up because of my tags to be kind of a dick in my inbox. I and multiple people who committed the grave sin of *checks notes* interacting with me were sent hate messages for hours on a Saturday night because I hinted in the tags that I kind of liked Fearne and Ashton as a ship while not being terribly into Imogen and Laudna, and some absolutely deranged loser decided this was an appropriate response. I was called out by someone who had made a blog specifically to block me when I responded to a reblog from someone else on a post I had made stating that Gelvaan was almost certainly not homophobic in canon and that treating Imogen's psychic powers as a metaphor for queerness has a lot of really unfortunate implications. And this hasn't even touched on that one person whose entire raison d'etre appears to be harassing every single person who doesn't think Imogen, Laudna, and their relationship is perfect; and who specifically made multiple alts to harass me. Like, the "It's Obviously Misogyny" people are genuinely putting more effort into being a dick to me than in writing meta about Imogen. You might be one of them.

I talk to many of my mutuals, some of whom really like Imogen, and yes, people do decide "you know, this could be interpreted by someone as too critical, and I don't feel like dealing with the heat" and keep that meta to the DMs or don't share it at all.

You know that post that Matt liked on Twitter that people have been, let's not mince words, jacking themselves off about ever since? If you actually try to say something with substance and evidence about how Imogen has Liliana's fear (the fear that meant that when Imogen begged her mother to leave the Vanguard, Liliana turned her own daughter down, claiming to need to stay with other children) or Delilah's love (which made her cruel, ruthless, and ultimately all-but doomed her) or Ludinus's desire for power (led him to commit endless atrocities) but resists these things in her desire to be a good person - and frankly, I think painting her with the same brush as Delilah or Ludinus isn't even true but I would love to dig into her similarities to Liliana - some asshole who smugly reblogs that post every time someone says "not to be controversial I think Imogen sometimes says things that could maybe be hurtful to other people I think" will throw a full temper tantrum and might send them an incoherent anon calling them a little hypocrite.

It's also fascinating because a lot of the tantrum-havers who will defend Imogen of even the most anodyne "perhaps this is not the most positive trait" and who will cite harassment Marisha received 7 years ago as a reason to not breathe a word of criticism about Laudna - and many of these people joined the fandom about 2 years ago if not sooner - will do this at the very people who have been supporting Keyleth since Campaign 1 was still airing. I mean, seniority doesn't mean anything but if you're lecturing people about something you weren't there for and they were? Clown behavior. Oh and a lot of those people doing the lecturing? Don't really like Keyleth very much, because she does things like "be angry" and "support Orym" and "have a measured viewpoint that doesn't match theirs" and "pretty clearly, along with Allura, who they also barely ever talk about, is directing Bells Hells along a specific path of that pesky moon plot because contrary to a weirdly widespread belief this is the moon plot campaign and not the baking cookies in a cottage campaign."

I mean, half these people forget about Fearne much of the time. The only NPCs I see many of them even talk about are the Vanguard generals and occasionally Abbadina when she's convenient for an argument. Not a damn word for Orlana or Birdie or Dancer or Weva or Rashinna, and they mostly treated Deanna, Prism, and Deni$e as nothing more than implements to shove Imogen and Laudna together but man do they have mountains to say about Bor'Dor. Hell, go to the blog of someone who whines about the way people treat Imogen and look through their meta, if they have it, and the vast majority of the time it's about Ashton and Orym and Ludinus and then they spend the rest of the time complaining about how The Big Mean Fandom is So Mean to Girls but they sure don't have much to say either because turns out if you can't say anything even remotely critical of a female character, it's really hard to write anything, and that's assuming they actually care about writing about female characters instead of just being an asshole, which as stated above is, in my mind, in doubt.

If you have ever spent a single second harassing actual living women online because you didn't like their thoughts on a pretend woman you are, at least in this specific scenario, easily the shittier person. Personally I am confident in my feminist bona fides through, you know, real world activism and how I interact with and support women and feminist causes socially, professionally, financially, and politically in my actual life, but yeah even I sometimes say "you know, I have thoughts about this thing regarding Imogen...but I've had a rough week and I don't feel like having one of the fandom tar pits on my ass" so I'll send my thoughts to a few friends and then idk, write about something else. And I'm pretty thick-skinned (this is the other problem with this strategy; you filter out the more measured and kind and sensitive people first and you're left only with people like me). A lot of people have flat-out given up writing about Imogen (or Laudna, much of the time) because they don't feel like dealing with backlash over some really mild statements. And because you send kind of dickish anons I suspect that it's more likely that you might be part of the problem than part of the solution. So no, it's not the only reason, but it's absolutely a significant one. Congratulations. You played yourself.

NSFW Alphabet - Norm Maclean

This man has taken over my thoughts, send help. Or not. Now to work on NSFW Alphabet for Thaddeus because he crept up on me like a lost puppy lololol

AO3

Word Count: 3.737

Warnings: ... This is a NSFW Alphabet, I think that's a warning in itself lolololol

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Norm is usually very attentive, jumping to be the one to do clean up; once really in love and if a shower or bathtub available, likes to help his partner showering/bathing, and will melt if the same is done for him. Water and food are not the first on his mind, but if his partner asks, he gets without complaint. Beyond this, a cuddle-bug; already likes cuddles, but after sex it’s multiplied by ten. Norm loves how the physical contact feels after it, and wants to hug and feel his partner’s warmth long after. Adores if his partner plays softly with his hair during it.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

In his partner, he totally likes butts and legs in general. Can literally spend hours just looking and squeezing, during sex or outside of it; his partner can just straddle him or sit with their legs on his lap, he loves both because it means he can just stroke and grab and squeeze, it doesn’t even need to end in anything. Big fan of walking behind his partner, especially if they’re using tight pants or short skirts, because it means he can watch all the movements and flex of muscles. Not so big on just slapping their butt if walking around… Unless Norm is trying to actually start something.

What he most like about himself is definitely his mouth. With it he can kiss his partner, on the mouth and everywhere else, he can go down on them and wring as much pleasure as possible from their body. Also because once he gets the hang of what makes his partner tick, he knows what exactly to say to get them going and he will use this power with no regrets – once he gets over his own embarrassment at saying anything dirty where anyone can hear him.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Doesn’t have a specific preference on if cumming inside or outside, and goes as his partner prefers; however, once actually in love and in a relationship, acquires a fascination at seeing his spend dripping out of his partner. Won’t force it either way.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

… Norm discovers himself as massively jealous when he falls in love. He guesses it’s because this is something only his, not because of the Vault or his chores or whatever; the feeling exists despite it all and anything that may threaten it makes him uncomfortable.

Still absolutely annoyed at it and does his best to not actually act on it or anything, but the thoughts still circle his head, ranging from deathly violent – tearing eyes for looking at his partner, cutting fingers for touching and so on –, to depravedly sexual – usually finding the closest place with a door, push his partner against the wall and go down on them until they’re screaming his name. Doesn’t want to be seen when having sex, but imagining the one that caused the jealousy walking by and hearing that he is the one causing pleasure scratches an itch he didn’t even know he had.

Usually just pulls his partner for a very possessive kiss where the person can see; if the person causing the jealousy is being obnoxious and not respecting his partner’s boundaries, then anger also gets into play and Norm will murder them with words; if in the Wasteland, he isn’t above threatening with weapons of some type.

Occasionally, after all is said and done and Norm and his partner get away, will end up in mind-blowing slow sex – he wants that reassurance that they’re still together and to make his partner feel good if the person made them uncomfortable. If his partner asks, denies to the death – me? Jealous? Pfff, of course not. Not even exactly a secret, because unless his partner is that distracted, it eventually becomes obvious. He will still deny.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Pretty experienced, mainly regarding sex in itself, because of Vault’s 33 culture. Not so much about romantic intimacy, since there was some emotional distance needed most of the time, with how everyone was so closely related. There are things he may be confused about and that he haven’t tried before and so on, but he absolutely knows what he’s doing, how to satisfy his partner, and what he likes.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

A big fan of missionary and any position that allows him to both keep his hands on his partner’s butt and legs while also allowing him to kiss their lips and see the play of pleasure on their face, to make sure he’s doing it right. Prefers a bed, but Norm will push his partner against a wall or table if that’s what’s available – and the height difference isn’t that big and uncomfortable if against a wall. Goes to heaven and back if his partner wrap their legs around his waist, the tighter the better.

If the day was a tiring one, he’s all up for being ridden, or to lying down facing each other with one of his partner’s legs above his hips. Both end up as very lazy and carefree sex.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Norm can be described a bit as a “bratty little shit”. He likes a humorous dirty back-and-forth bedroom talk, in the foreplay and during it all, teasing his partner about what he wants to do and so on. He can be serious, usually when both he and his partner are stressed about something and it’s harder to get into the right mindset to tease regarding sex, but he does prefer the teasing, the sarcasm and slight goofy way, especially if it’s a serious relationship, because it’s a way both of them get vulnerable and show more of themselves and what they like for him. It’s not up there as a kink, but Norm loves seeing his partner happy. And hey, if it helps along in making his partner a sobbing mess, why not?

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Yes, the carpet matches; has a faint trail down his navel. Trims it all a bit, more to avoid any discomfort with the Vault-Suit or his underwear.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

This is something that really depends with Norm. If it’s all purely casual and blowing off steam, not that romantic, most only about mutual pleasure but that’s it, usually something fast and almost mindless, with no thought to romantic intimacy.

If in actual love, Norm is even a bit shocked at how much of a romantic he can be, desperately craving the romantic connection, in between all the teasing and dirty talk. It becomes all about the eye contact, doing things that makes his partner feel loved, wanting to be as close as possible. Will take his time in finding the best angle, speed and strength of his thrusts so they both enjoy it as most as possible, and sometimes it will be such a way that the intensity of the moment can be overwhelming. Usually by this moment his brain can barely function to tease and be a brat and he only wants to know that his partner is feeling as much pleasure as possible.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Norm’s so glad that adulthood leveled his hormones in such a way that he only does it mostly when too stressed and needs the relief but can’t be bothered to see if one of his casual sex partners are free and up to it. In the end, it’s very rare that Norm actually does masturbate himself.

With a fixed partner and in love, however, if it’s all about stress relief, Norm prefers to masturbate instead of asking his partner to help him out, trying to be as fast and methodical as possible, which results in becoming more frequent. This is especially true if the relationship is recent: he feels weird if its about stress relief only, the romantic intimacy he comes to expect a bit off, as if he doesn’t connect right and is making it all about himself. It his partner offers to help him or interrupts him masturbating and moves to help, however, won’t deny, even if feeling extremely embarrassed.

As the relationship matures, however, Norm becomes more comfortable into asking his partner to help him before going directly to take care of things himself. Norm will have no problem if he ends up having to do all himself, but won’t feel embarrassed by the denial; and, if his partner accepts, he notices and learns that mutual masturbation can also be good for connection and romantic intimacy, as long as both are into it and enjoying themselves and each other.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Hair pulling is the main one. Pull his hair by the roots and Norm is done for, if he wasn’t turned on before, now he is; he effectively leans his head with the pull. Keep it for the whole session and it doesn’t take long for Norm to become glassy-eyed. Give tighter pulls and he whimpers.

It’s followed up by eating/sucking his partner. Norm will spend hours between his partner’s thighs if allowed, to the point of overstimulating them, moaning and groaning into it. In this case, while he’s ok with getting on his knees for it, he actually prefers if his partner sits on his face, and they better put their whole weight on it – he will wrap his arms around their thighs to keep it this way. Pull his hair during it and Norm becomes a mess – there have been cases where both resulted in Norm coming without having his cock touched. He was a bit embarrassed the first time it happened, but he came to appreciate it because every time it happened meant that he could keep focusing on making his partner scream for him without having to worry too much about himself.

If Norm ends up actually in love with his partner, instead of just a sexual relationship, and he doesn’t feel as if building a family and so on is just about “perpetuating America” and effectively MORE WORK, he may eventually find himself with a bit of a breeding kink, fascinated at seeing his spend dripping out from his partner and being tempted to push it back in. It will have to be unlocked from him and he will be absolutely floored at it, unsure if it actually equals to wanting to build a family; not something he will immediately discuss. Once Norm processes it and does bring it up, he will respect his partner’s wishes; if his partner is into it, things get messy fast. It frequently may lead to bouts of cock-warming, staying inside after all is said and done, enjoying each other’s warmth for as long as possible.

May also find himself in a position of wanting to worship the body of his partner and again, very floored at it, but finds it easier to deal with.

A big fan of hearing praise; it only gets worse after how the Council in the Vault talks about his “lack of enthusiasm” regarding his jobs in the Vault. He wants to know he’s making you feel good, that you appreciate him and so on, that he’s enthusiastic about something. He tries doing the praising and if his partner really likes leans into it, but thinks it doesn’t come naturally to him – he’s way more experience at teasing than praise.

A bit of seeing his partner absolutely overwhelmed with pleasure he caused, sobbing and moaning and glassy-eyed and an overall mess.

And finally, marking. Norm particularly prefers to scratch his partner and see the bruises his grip leaves on their thighs, butt, waist and hips. In himself, there’s no preference: hickey, scratches, bites, all fair game and all makes him a mess, no preference in location. If the marks, specially scratches, are made in the height of passion, not only it all makes him come hard, but afterwards Norm is so smug about it that it can be downright infuriating – only moment where he is not bothered if some blood is drawn, they all mark how much pleasure Norm brought to his partner.

If his partner uses lipstick, then one of the best things they can do is make sure to leave a ring around his cock and open mouthed kiss in places he can easily see. Norm goes almost literally insane.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Preferably, any place he can lock the doors and windows so they won’t be seen or interrupted. Norm hates to be interrupted or have his personal relationships so out in the open, and living in a Vault where everyone knows about everyone, with occasionally being caught in the act when a teenager, it really made him conscious in adulthood to be careful.

If it’s a wall, a table, a bed or whatever else, it doesn’t matter, as long as Norm and his partner can’t be interrupted or caught in it.

Also please not the kitchen. Norm worked in one and has big no regarding doing sex in a place where one cooks and eats.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Not that easy to get Norm going beyond “stressed, need to blow off steam or I’ll explode”, but there are some sure-fire ways, especially if in a relationship. Playing with his hair, sliding a nose and gentle kisses along his neck and shoulders, delicate touches against his skin, using lipstick and kissing him with it on, are all ways to make Norm become aroused enough to start thinking and considering actual sex.

If his partner really, really wants to get Norm going, tight pants and some strategic bends will have him pulling them to the closest room with a lockable door in ten minutes, tops.

On a minor note, jealousy also can get him going, as long as his partner is NOT doing it on purpose and it’s just some jerk making the moves on them and making his partner uncomfortable. Norm will make his partner forget anything but him the next time he gets his hands on them, so they both can forget all about the jerk.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Absolutely nothing skirting close to CNC; Norm likes to feel wanted, and wants that certainty that his partner also wants this as much as possible. CNC is the fastest way to make him flaccid. Also no degradation, towards himself or his partner; he feels inadequate enough in the Vault and he doesn’t want his partner to feel like this.

Also absolutely nothing that can actually hurt either of them.

Attempted choking once, on both ends, deeply disliked it. He wants to hear his partner praising him, and he likes to be able to talk and tease.

Also, because of how things are in the Vault, a big no on doing it in Public or Semi-Public.

Norm will also feel very miffed if his partner attempts to provoke jealousy on purpose. Makes Norm feels insecure, as if his partner doesn’t really wants to be with him.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Likes receiving, loves giving. As mentioned, he goes insane if there’s lipstick marks on his cock, but in the end he really enjoys to have his partner’s thighs around his head as he goes down on them. Something in it, the sounds he can pull, the taste, the weight on his shoulders, how his partner can’t help but thrust and grind into him, how he can reduce someone to a begging and sobbing mess with his mouth really gets him going. And, as mentioned, if partner sitting on his face for it and pulling on his hair, there’s a good chance of Norm coming untouched, that’s how much he enjoys giving oral.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

It depends on the mood and on the level of emotional connection. Casual partners and so on, things are usually faster, but not rough – Norm can’t actually be rough regarding sex. If in a relationship and in love, his preference is slow, deep, and sensual, trying to make it last and find the best way to make both his mind and his partner’s blissfully empty.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

He grew up from teenage to adulthood in the Vault. He had no particular trouble and would partake in them frequently, since it was the easiest, in between classes then work and any other chores in the Vault. However, the moment he starts being able to actually take his time for both him and his partner, he really started to grow a dislike for quickies: they rarely gave him the sight of his partner as a sobbing and moaning mess, and that’s a sight Norm really comes to appreciate.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Surprisingly, Norm is quite a risk taker in the bedroom. As long as it isn’t public or can’t hurt him or his partner, he will try at least once. Tying his partner or being the one tied, orgasm denial, overstimulation, roleplays… And, occasionally, even if he didn’t particularly like something, but his partner enjoyed, he may do it again for them.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

One to two long rounds, and I mean long. Norm absolutely prefers to focus on quality; he wants to see his partner shivering and sobbing from pleasure at the end, and he discovered early that he really preferred to focus on one, at most two orgasms for himself, that are equally able to leave him a mess. He won’t change positions much, unless either him or his partner are uncomfortable.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Norm doesn’t own toys nor has had the opportunity to use them, it doesn’t sound as something that really made its way into the Vault in a way that’s widely available, but he wouldn’t be opposed at trying some and would, without a doubt, acquire a taste for them. Would enjoy learning some knots and tying his partner down. Absolutely accepts to be the one tied down and is the most beautiful mess, he won’t be above begging if it happens.

Also, the day Norm discovers vibrators is the day his partner loses any and all peace, especially if overstimulation is on the table; this man will use and abuse of them against his partner, with the bedroom talk going strong. Again, would accept to be on the other side of it, and would cry of overstimulation. Would repeat it without a second thought.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

A bit unfair in the bedroom, but not much, just enough in the foreplay to get both of them going; no matter if casual or actual relationship, Norm can’t deny pleasure for long.

Outside the bedroom, unable to tease with touches and so on, too embarrassed to even try this type of thing where anyone can see. With words, not something that come naturally to him at first, because of the whole “anyone can see”, but once he learns what gets his partner going and it’s not easy for someone else to hear, won’t be opposed to whisper dirty talk, all about promises of what they’ll get up too once they’re able to.

Unable to deal with teasing outside the bedroom beyond something light and tame, and even then Norm will blush like crazy. Answer to his dirty talk with equal dirty talk outside the bedroom and this man will bluescreen.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Beyond the dirty back-and-forth of foreplay, Norm lets out A LOT of sounds of pleasure once things get going enough that brain power for dirty talk becomes a hard commodity: groans, moans, whimpers, all of it. Also absurdly easy to get him loud, and he will attempt to muffle himself on his partner’s body. At the same time, Norm won’t complain if his partner grabs his hair and keeps him from being able to do it, and with the hair pulling, well, he will be louder.

Absolutely mortified if he discovers other people could hear them and actually did hear.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Loves to sink his nose in his partner’s groin and smell them before going down on them/eating them out, it will effectively make him harder. Norm won’t steal his partner’s underwear, he thinks that’s a huge privacy invasion. However, his partner can slip some used underwear in Norm’s pocket or something of the type before they both go on their businesses for the day. The moment Norm finds the piece of clothing, he will hunt them down as soon as possible and go down on them and God have mercy on his partner because Norm won’t have: he won’t stop until they can’t walk.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Average length, kinda thick. Knows how to use it and very well.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Sits at a general medium, fluctuating a little depending on his stress levels. Not too horny on a daily basis, even when in a relationship as opposed to only casual sex. However, when he does get going, Norm is very much in an all or nothing mindset.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Not quick to fall asleep. In general Norm finds sleep hard enough, after sex it’s weird how most of the times he finds himself even more awake, even if tired. He may just talk and snuggle, but it’s not hard for Norm’s partner to fall asleep before him. Not bothered by it.
