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

The Double Life social climate is so fascinating because like you said, the dynamics were very much "me and my soulmates against everyone else" (which was encouraged by the mechanic obviously). There’s no real web of alliances like we see in other seasons, more like a bunch of isolated islands constituted by each pairs.

-Pearl obviously is the most isolated of them all, having no soulmate to fall back on and being perceived as an unstable and dangerous wildcard that was best to avoid as much as possible.

-Desert Duo comes next, them being the last green isolated them by default, and they both played a very solo game, not moving as a unit and instead having internal tension, which made others not want to get into their mess.

-Like you said, Cleo and Scott (Scott especially) were not very liked by the others, the whole chosen soulmate move being seen as going against the soulbound status quo and creating unnecessary unstability (of the Pearl variety) in their ecosystem. Plus, like DD, their late yellow status made them outsiders.

-Box Boys are similar to DD in the way that they had trouble functioning as a unit. They each had some allies on their own but not any in common, and kept to themselves a lot.

-Ranchers are in the middle because while they were often hanging out around others, half of that time was them being bullied by their peers, and no one really cared for them much.

-Boat Boys were on good terms with most people but turned red early and immediately became very hostile which made the other pairs fear them more than wanting to get close to them. They were mostly seen as a threat that you’re cordial with so it won’t turn against you.

-Homewreckers are the pair with the best social standing, even if their gossiping made them seem untrustworthy in the eyes of other, their base was still very much a social hub on numerous occasions and they had no real beef with anyone.

-Ironically the person most integrated within the social dynamics of Double Life is probably Martyn. As he had no soulmate he was seen as an outsider, but unlike Pearl he had an okay relationship with Cleo and instead of being seen as someone to avoid, he was just that guy who’s kinda around. Because he was alone and didn’t turn red until the end, he wasn’t seen as dangerous or threat.

Double Life's social climate is just absolutely fascinating to me.

In every other season, alliances and friendships are complex webs. Most teams have more than two players within them, most teams have alliances with other teams, and most individual players have their own personal friendships with people in other teams.

This can lead to messy loyalties and rough breakups, of course. But more often, I see this as a very positive- necessary, even!- aspect of how social groups form in this game, because that interconnected web means players rarely end up completely isolated- or trapped in a group they aren't happy in- if they don't want to be.

Double Life breaks this entirely. As you pointed out, each soulmate pair functioned as an 'isolated island', all but mandating full loyalty within groups and treating anyone outside their assigned pairing as 'other', someone to be mistrusted and held at arms length.

Which is a nightmare when you think about it.

Two people- exactly two, with no third party to buffer..anything- forced together, whether they want to be together or not, with the expectation that they cannot leave and will not form connections outside of each other.

It was so bad for everyone, both people who stuck with their soulmates and people who didn't. The way anyone outside of the standard soulmate setup was looked down on, shamed, or at the very least isolated, the way human connection and friendships were snipped off by isolationist paranoia and/or jealousy, the way leaving an unhappy partnership was extremely discouraged (or, depending on how you look at it, outright impossible, because your health is tied to theirs no matter what).

I just can't help but see it all as a social system that traps people who conform to the soulmate pair formula and isolates people who don't, with nowhere to go and noone to fall back on outside that one person who is 'supposed' to be your one support.

You're absolutely right on how isolated Double Life was, how there functionally weren't any alliances outside of soulmate pairs- and those that did exist were shamed- and it's so fascinating to me. It was such a unique social climate.

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.

NSFW Alphabet - Bucky Barnes

Pairing(s): Bucky Barnes x Female! reader

Word count: 1.7K

Warning: little bit of smut - minors DNI

tags: l content: fluff, smut, Aftercare Praise Kink, Dirty Talk, Breath Play, Light Bondage, Nipple Play, Soft!Bucky, Possessive Bucky, Smut Writing, NSFW Fanfiction

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

Bucky's got a way of making you feel like the center of his universe, even after the heat dies down. His hands don't leave your body for long, fingers tracing lazy patterns over your skin as he murmurs soft praises like, "You're so perfect for me, doll," or "God, you drive me crazy."

Bucky's not just a soldier in the field; he's got a mission here too—making sure you're completely taken care of. He's quick to grab a towel or his shirt to clean you up, but he doesn't rush it, taking his time, enjoying every chance to touch you. He loves the little sounds you make when he presses too soft or too firm, chuckling low in his throat when you squirm.

When you're settled, he brings you water and climbs back into bed, wrapping you in his arms like you're his safe place. His voice drops slightly lower as he whispers, "Round two's tempting, but I want you to rest first. Got to keep my girl feeling good, yeah?"

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

When it comes to himself, Bucky has a complicated relationship with his body. He's learned to accept his metal arm over time, even if the scars of his past still weigh heavy. But he takes quiet pride in his strength—his broad shoulders and powerful hands remind him he can protect the people he loves, especially you...

As for his favorite part of you? He can't pick just one. But if pressed, he'd say your lips. Whether they're curling into a mischievous smile, pressing soft kisses to his jaw, or parting to moan his name, he's obsessed.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically)

Bucky has a fascination he can't quite explain- watching the way you react to him, the mess you make together, and how utterly wrecked you look afterward. There's something primal about it, seeing you marked by him, a tangible reminder of just how good he made you feel.

He's vocal about it too, murmuring things like, "Look at you, all mine," as his hand trails over your skin, spreading the evidence across your thighs or stomach. If he's feeling especially possessive, he might tilt your chin up to meet his gaze, smirking as he teases, "You love it, don't you?"

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

What really gets him? The thought of you being completely uninhibited, whispering filthy things into his ear or surprising him by taking the lead in a way that leaves him at your mercy. He tries to hide it, but the way his breath hitches or his hands tighten on the sheets gives him away every time.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they're doing?)

Before he became a Winter Soldier, he had a lot of experience with women and knew what to do. But after he became a Winter Soldier and met you, he was very cautious, which is completely understandable.

F = Favourite Position

Bucky would absolutely love to ping you against the wall and make love to you! He absolutely adores it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy every other position too!

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Bucky's not usually one for humor in the heat of the moment. When it comes to intimacy, he's all about focus, intensity, and getting lost in the connection. 

During those moments, he'll drop a playful remark with a sly smirk, like when your hands wander a little too far, and he chuckles low in his chest, "Easy, doll. You're gonna make me lose focus." But don't let that fool you- when he's teasing, it's just as intense as when he's focused. He loves seeing the way you respond to his unexpected comments, the way your eyes light up, and how it makes you a little more vulnerable.

But more often than not, he's serious at the moment. 

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

Bucky's hair is always impeccably styled, but he's not the type to spend hours on grooming. It's more of a rugged, effortless look—his dark hair a bit tousled, always looking like he just woke up from a deep sleep, yet perfectly messy in the most attractive way. His facial hair follows suit: stubbled, just enough to give him that gruff, slightly dangerous vibe.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect...)

He's not the type to rush things. Bucky takes his time, his movements slow and deliberate, as if savoring every second, his kisses are tender, deep, and possessive, lingering on your lips as if he's trying to imprint himself onto you. There's nothing hurried about him when it comes to intimacy—he wants to make sure you feel every ounce of love and desire he has for you.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Dirty Talk -He'll use his softest, most intimate voice to tell you some naughty secrets during sex, just to make you feel all hot and bothered!

Nipple play- This guy can't stop thinking about your nipples. He's obsessed with them. He loves to touch them, lick them, and pull them.

Breath play - Yeah, I know it might sound a bit weird, but Bucky really loves putting his hand on your throat, just not the sick one! You talked him into trying his metal one, because you trust him, and it's been great ever since.

Light bondage - Bucky's biggest dirty secret is that he likes to tie people up and ride them, which explains everything.

L = Location (Favourite places to do they do)

His first favorite location is somewhere private, like the comfort of his own bed, where he can have you all to himself. There's something about the quiet of the night, the two of you wrapped in each other, the only sounds being your breathless whispers and the soft creaking of the bed beneath you. He loves the intimacy of your own space, where he can let down his guard completely.

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

I mean, just YOU!

N = NO (Something they wouldn't do, turn-offs)

He won't do anything to hurt you.

O = Oral (Preference for giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Bucky's preference leans toward giving, when he's giving, Bucky is confident and methodical—knowing exactly what makes you writhe with pleasure. He's not just trying to get the job done; he wants to see you lose control. His hands are always in motion, whether they're holding you still or spreading you open so he can take his time.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Bucky's pace depends on the mood, but he's a man who appreciates the slow burn as much as the fast, heated intensity. He knows the power of both, and he's not afraid to switch it up depending on what the moment calls for.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

As I said, it depends on the mood.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Bucky's version of risk is calculated—he's willing to experiment and push boundaries, but always in a way that's rooted in trust and mutual respect. He'll make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way, and he won't push you into anything unless he knows you're ready to explore it together.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last...)

Bucky's stamina is something to be reckoned with. Years of physical conditioning and military training have made him more than capable of going for as long as he needs to, whether that's a single, intense round or multiple, drawn-out sessions.

ALSO SUPER SERUM (wink wink)

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

Bucky's not the sort to use them much unless you bring them into your sex life. He's definitely not going to miss them.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Bucky absolutely loves to tease - sometimes to the point where it feels almost unfair. He's got a mischievous streak, especially when he senses you're close to the edge to cum but not quite there yet.

He'll run his fingers over your body, just close enough to where you ache for more but never enough to satisfy you completely. His lips will hover over yours, just out of reach, whispering sweet things in your ear, "Patience, doll. You'll get it soon enough."

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

But when the passion rises and everything becomes too overwhelming to control, Bucky's volume ramps up. He'll growl, his voice rough with need as he pushes into you harder, his breath coming in ragged pants.

When he's close to his release, Bucky's usually much louder, his moans and grunts filling the air, unashamed of how raw and desperate he sounds. He'll groan your name as if he's calling for you, his words ragged and needy as he tries to hold on just a little longer

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Bucky has a soft spot for old-fashioned love letters, even though he'd never admit it out loud. He's not the type to express his feelings easily, 

And yes, he also likes to write naughty words to you in a lot of detail.

X = X-Ray (Let's see what's going on in those pants, picture or words)

Bucky's got a great body. His muscles are toned and he's pretty fit. He's also got a pretty impressive package down there.

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

Bucky's sex drive is high, After years of suppression, whether it's due to his past or the emotional walls he's built up, Bucky craves intimacy in a way that goes beyond mere lust. He wants to feel you, to hold you, to know you in every sense of the word.

Z = ZZZ (... how quickly they fall asleep afterward)

After things wind down, Bucky is usually out pretty quickly. All the tension from the day, combined with the physical exertion, has him feeling more relaxed than usual. He's the type to pull you close, his arm around you, and within minutes, he's asleep, his breathing evening out in a slow, deep rhythm.

AN: I'm really proud of this so ENJOY!!

PS:  If you're not happy with something, please do let me know. I'm always open to feedback and I'm always working to improve.

PENNYWISE NSFW ALPHABET

Author’s Note: Haven’t done one of these in a while. I used to write for Pennywise often (I don’t really like my old Pennywise oneshots so they’re not posted here). If you didn’t know by now, I have a thing for clowns. And I’ve noticed a severe lack of Pennywise on this account and Tumblr in general. So here we go. Let the clown fucking begin lmao. (if you want me to expand on any of these headcanons, let me know)

Warnings/tags: 18+ MDNI, fem! reader, Teratophilia/Monster fucking, briefly mentioned mating cycles/heat, Pennywise being a switch, mentioned pregnancy (nobody is getting pregnant btw), not beta read, purely self indulgent filth (these are my own personal headcanons and if you don’t agree with them that’s okay, my friend)

Word count: 2.2k

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

Near the beginning of your relationship, Pennywise isn’t good at aftercare. But over time he can become somewhat more caring and affectionate. He’ll be there for you and make sure you’re okay. And he’ll stay with you for as long as you want. He’s also a big cuddler after sex.

B = Body Part (what's their favorite body part of theirs and their partner’s)

Pennywise thinks your entire body is fascinating, but his favorite part has to be your legs. He loves gripping them, pulling them around his waist, marking them, etc. If he had to pick a part on himself, it would be his hands. He uses them to hold onto you, scratch you, choke you if you’d like….yeah, it’s safe to say he likes using his hands.

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

Pennywise almost exclusively cums inside of you. It’s a primal, possessive type of thing for him (more on this later). Highly enjoys watching it drip out of you before gathering it up on his finger and pushing it back in.

D = Dirty Secret (a dirty secret of theirs)

Although he’s not the biggest fan of toys, he likes the idea of you using a vibrator on him. Has had an ongoing fantasy of you tying him up and holding it against him, overstimulating him until he’s a whimpering mess.

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

Pennywise wasn’t experienced when the two of you first got together. He’s never been with a human before. Sure, he knows what sex is. He knows how it works. He’s not clueless. He’s just never had any practice. But don’t fret, he’s a very fast learner.

F = Favorite Position (this goes without saying)

Cowgirl: Loves to have you on top of him. He likes to look at all the little changes in your face as you grind and bounce on him. Runs his hands up and down your body. Sometimes when he’s in a rougher move he’ll reach up and pull you down to his chest, holding you tight against his chest, and start thrusting up into you.

69: Not his all-time favorite out of this list but it’s definitely enjoyable.

Face Sitting: Pennywise will quite literally beg you to sit on his face. He loves to be in between your thighs.

Mating press: For when he wants more control. Likes watching you come undone underneath him.

Amazon: On the reverse side, Pennywise quite enjoys the Amazon position once he learns what it is. Sometimes he’s the one coming undone underneath you and this is the position to do it.

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

Pennywise can go either way depending on his mood. He’s not overly humorous during the moment but the two of you can definitely make each other laugh sometimes.

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

Pennywise doesn’t have anything going on down there. Not in his clown form at least. But when he takes the form of Bob Gray (something he doesn’t do often), he’ll have a nice patch of trimmed ginger pubic hair.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment, intimately/romantically speaking?)

Pennywise is surprisingly very intimate. Not necessarily a romantic, but intimate nonetheless. Who knew this alien entity could get so into the moment?

J = Jack Off (masturbation headcanon)

Before he met you, masturbation wasn’t something on his mind. When he wasn’t hibernating his main focus was on hunting. But you came along and all of a sudden he feels the need to pleasure himself when you’re not around. Pennywise doesn’t masturbate often but when he does, it’s a sight to behold. He’s desperate, tears running down his cheeks. He’s never felt like this before. He’s never had a human have such an impact on him. He’ll grind and hump the sheets of his makeshift bed in the sewers, whining and begging to absolutely no one. He would much rather be fucking you though (or have you fuck him).

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Breeding: As I said under the C part, Pennywise likes to cum inside of you. It’s partially because he’s possessive and in a way, it feels like he’s claiming you. But deep down there’s another reason and that’s the fact that he secretly would love to get you pregnant. He can’t though, being a different species and all but he’ll fuck you as if he could.

Biting: Not that surprising. At first, he held back on biting. He would get urges to latch onto your shoulder during sex. But he fought it, too afraid at the thought of getting a taste of your blood and not being able to control himself. He was worried he might end up killing you, especially when he was getting really worked up. But one day curiosity got the better of him and he bit your thigh. Once he realized he could control himself he started doing it more and more.

Edging/orgasm denial: Pennywise can be such a tease at times. And he’s a fan of being teased by you as well. He likes to push you right to the edge and then stop touching you all together. He likes to hear you beg. And he can do it for a long time. He’s not opposed to you edging him either although he can get a little snappy if you do it for too long.

Overstimulation: On the flip side of things, Pennywise likes to overstimulate you. Sometimes he’s not trying to. He just gets so caught up in being with you. He truly can’t get enough. His favorite method of overstimulating you is eating you out (More on that under the letter O). Doesn’t mind being overstimulated either, he honestly really enjoys the feeling. He can take a lot more than you can as well.

Praise kink: Pennywise surprisingly likes to be praised (he doesn’t mind giving it either). Tell him what a good job he’s doing, tell him how much you like whatever he’s doing. Hearing your sweet praises is honestly like adding fuel to a fire.

Voyeurism: Pennywise likes to lurk in the shadows. It’s just in his nature. He heavily enjoys watching you masturbate from a distance. He could probably get off just from hearing you moan his name.

L = Location (favorite places to do it)

Pennywise prefers the bedroom or anywhere in your home to be honest. Although he would absolutely have you anywhere outside of your home, he likes privacy. He doesn’t like the idea of being interrupted.

 

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

Just being around you is enough. He’s infatuated by you, craves you in a way that is almost completely foreign to him.

N = No (something they won't do)

Pennywise is not thrilled by the idea of sharing you. He’s extremely possessive. And the last thing he’ll ever do is compete for your affection with a human. If someone even dares to think about flirting with you, they’ll quickly turn into a nice afternoon snack.

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

Pennywise is a giver through and through. Once he had a taste of you he can’t get enough. Would literally spend hours between your legs if he could. It’s almost like he’s in a trance, completely intoxicated by you. He will go from being very precise with his movements to being sloppy and messy. Pennywise latches onto you like every time might be his last time getting to taste you. And if you’ve never squirted before, he’ll be the one to make you do it. He overstimulates you without meaning to, lapping you up until you’re shaking and can’t speak. So what if you’re on your third orgasm? Surely his favorite human can handle a fourth, right? He doesn’t mind receiving either. At first, he was incredibly hesitant. He had never had a human touch him in such a way. But it grows on him after a while. He doesn’t really crave it the same way he craves going down on you, but if you want to go down on him he’ll happily oblige.

 

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

Pennywise’s pace often depends on his mood and his body. Just woke up after 27 years? He’s going at a pretty fast pace, rough enough to bruise your body if he’s not careful. He’s in heat or his hibernation cycle is getting near? Then he tends to prefer a slower pace.

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

Not opposed to quickies at all. They’re fun, what else can he say? He prefers to have more time with you though and given the option, will always pick a regular session of having sex.

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

It really depends. Pennywise is already in new territory when it comes to having a relationship with a human. That alone is already a big enough risk in his opinion (especially considering the fact that he still has to occasionally suppress the urge to eat you). But if you introduce him to things slowly, he might be willing to take more risks.

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

Pennywise can go for hours at a time, especially if he just woke up from that 27-year nap. He can go for as many rounds as you’d like.

 

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

Pennywise doesn’t own toys. Doesn’t understand the use of them at first. Just another silly human invention. But if you propose using them, he would probably be okay with it. The best way to convince him is to use one on him. He’ll definitely understand their purpose better. He still prefers to not use them but he’s not against them.

U = Unfair (how much do they like to tease?)

When Pennywise is in more of a dominant mood, he’s relentless when it comes to teasing. Like I said before, he likes to edge you. He loves hearing you beg (and purposefully ignoring you). He likes to get you all riled up and pull away. Usually, he’s the one whining. But he can’t lie, he loves to hear you whine too.

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

This clown is very vocal in bed. Especially if he’s being submissive. He can quite literally become a blubbering, stuttering, whiny little mess. Grunting, moaning, growling, whimpering, sighing…you name it, he’s doing it. I wouldn’t describe him as super loud, just very vocal. But if it’s one of those days where he’s really, really desperate for his favorite human to touch him, he’s going to be loud.

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

If it wasn’t already very clear, I headcanon Pennywise to be a switch. He can be dominant when he wants to be but he often leans towards the more submissive side. And even when he’s being more dominant and topping you, he’s very much a service top. He loves to please you and he loves when you do the same.

X = X-Ray (what's going on under those clothes)

There are a lot of different headcanons about what Pennywise has going on under that suit. I personally like to believe that just like Pennywise can change himself to anyone, I believe he can change his genitalia as well. He can change it based on your preference. But he also changes it depending on his own mood. Sometimes you might unbutton his trousers and find a milky, throbbing cock. It’s a little over 6 inches and has a nice girth but not too much. And he can adjust the size if needed. Other times, especially when he’s in a rut, you’re more likely to find something along the lines of a tentacle (or tentacles if you’d like). Flushed, slick, and throbbing. Hell, sometimes there will appear to be nothing there, just a mound of flesh. Don’t worry though, a slit will open up when he’s ready.

 

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive)

Before you came waltzing into his life, it was very low. Basically non existent. Pennywise didn’t need sex nor crave it. If anything, he was indifferent to it. The last thing he was thinking about was sex. But now it’s like you’ve got him under some type of trance. His sex drive has definitely been elevated. He doesn’t constantly crave sex but there are definitely times when he can’t keep his hands to himself.

 

Z = Zzzzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterward)

Pennywise stays awake a lot. He can go a long time with no sleep. But sometimes after sex he just feels so warm on the inside, so comfortable…sleep comes rather quickly. He really likes to lay on top of you, sometimes resting his head on your chest or stomach with your legs straddling around him. He likes to hold onto you and press his face into you, deeply inhaling as he drifts off.

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?

[baphometsss]

The attitudes of people who just flatly ignore what we're told by canon are kind of wild to me. Don't get me wrong, I get that this is the point of fanworks (to play with canon) but there's often this contempt towards people who like to work with what we've got over ignoring established lore for whatever reason.

Like... this is just one example, but the people who insist that Solas and Mythal were lovers tend to totally ignore the fact that it's very clearly stated, unequivocally, that he was not in love with her. That if he had known what falling in love was going to do to him and his plans, he never would've entertained the idea of a romance with Lavellan. You can also infer, based on what we're told about other ancient elves, that if they had been lovers, they wouldn't have been shy about telling us. When the possibility is suggested, it's framed as the immature perspective to take (Taash). I know people like to pretend that this is the solavellan game but it's really not, and I don't honestly think they would've shied away from stating it explicitly just to avoid the wrath of a small group of fans. Solas and Lavellan get more content than the other DAI romances, but that's because it was the only one left unresolved. Everyone else is off doing the happily ever after with theirs, as evidenced in the in game letters.

The really uncomfortable truth is that they probably just didn't give it enough thought to properly define it. They know that fans will invent their own fanon anyway, which is why they lean into the vagueness. It works in their favour. The only things we're told is that they had a friendship that became abusive, that Mythal enslaved him and used her powerful charisma to exert her influence over the elves and Solas in particular. They fell out after he finally rebelled and refused to do her bidding any longer, but became overwhelmed with guilt and grief when she was murdered. That pathological bond is the most powerful one of all, and I think this is the message that comes through more than any other. The scariest thing about these bonds is that they don't have to be more than one type of relationship. It doesn't need to be more than a friendship to be abusive. It doesn't need to be more than a family bond to be abusive. Reading it this way makes it hit much harder imo.

Yet... there's this contempt from some that you're just a jealous child if you have a different perspective, as if my reasons for being into this franchise are solely linked to Solas and Lavellan, which they're not. I love this world for all kinds of reasons, and I am an unabashed Zevranmancer, Fenrismancer and Dorianmancer too. I personally find the attitude of forcing romance into every relationship more frustrating, because the main reason I got into Dragon Age is because of my own admittedly unique perspective, not because of the romances.

I'm a Pagan, which for me means that I find divinity through nature and I have some more... unusual beliefs regarding spirituality and personhood. Divinity is something that is explored in Dragon Age in a way that I find really fascinating. It's one of the only games/books/whatever I've played that allows me to explore that through the lore. Divinity makes you a part of it, to the point that you can't tell where you end and the divine begins. Likewise, the spirits can't be fully extricated from each other, because they're made from the same essence. When I tell you how excited I was when the bonds of spirits and the elvhen (Solas and Mythal in particular) were described as being beyond mortal understanding... my heart sped up, no joke. I also love the fact that the Inquisitor is described as having a spirit that is different to most. I particularly love that their romance causes this powerful god-like spirit (Solas) to experience 'true love' for the first time, to the point that it makes him want to be an elf and not a spirit for the first time, specifically to be with them.

I wrote this with the intent of describing my point of view as a Pagan, but I can't fully explain to you what my bond with the divine (and other entities) is actually like. I can't even fully explain what they are, or what I am. It's beyond explanation. It's beautiful enough on its own and I can personally understand why a bond with another being like that would be so important. Especially if you've devoted yourself to them as a follower does to a god. Especially if personhood and all its complexity doesn't come naturally to you. (Hi.)

To have people see all that we're given and treat anyone that doesn't agree with a frankly oversimplified perspective as merely being jealous is annoying, I won't lie to you, but it does say more about them. It says that there's a layer of understanding missing for them.

My point is that I like working with the lore we have in game and this isn't a bad thing, or inferior to people who cut and paste a lot more. There is definitely a subset of fans who are here for romance and romance drama in particular, which... whatever floats your boat, I guess, but that doesn't interest everyone. It doesn't all have to come down to romance and it says more about the person accusing you of disliking things for whatever shallow reason makes the most sense to them. I mainly take umbrage with the ones who ignorantly throw around incest takes, which I talked about here.

This is not unique to Dragon Age fandom at all but exists in every fandom I've been in. I guess it just hits a bit closer to home because this world is closer to my heart than most.

Tl;dr not everyone is here for romance and cutting and pasting everything in game for your fanwork collage doesn't mean you have any kind of highground. It just means you're going to come up against people who aren't cutting and pasting, or not doing it as much. It doesn't mean their reasonings are less valid. That's really all there is to it.

"Dear Castlevania fandom... Just because a man is pretty doesn't mean he's a bottom." - an ignoramus

I already wrote about this before, but if you're too foolish to realize you don't know off-hand why people make whichever character a top or bottom, please shut up. There's a lot of reasons people like Olrox as a bottom, and why I in particular wrote him as a bottom back in 2023, which have nothing to do with how pretty he is (but can include that, and there's no harm in that):

The idea of a human topping a vampire is fun (this was before season 2 released and we relied on season 1 alone: hi new people who showed up in 2025, season 1 came out in September 2023, you didn't start the fandom or the ship :D Welcome, hope you enjoy your stay, but stop being dickheads :D). The idea that Olrox is so intrigued by Mizrak that he allows Mizrak more control in the form of topping is fascinating

Olrox topping Mizrak just isn't as interesting, at least in humanoid form (but in his serpent form, that's more interesting). This had nothing to do with who was prettier, at least in my case. I tested out who I enjoyed doing what, and Olrox bottoming was more fun. So I wrote that.

Are you implying Mizrak isn't pretty for some reason? I mean he's buffer (slightly) but... hmm... Honey, he had me at the side cape.

The idea of a shorter man topping taller man is fun (Olrox is actually taller than Mizrak)

The idea of Olrox, a marginalized First Nation man whose people were genocided by members of Mizrak's religion, letting Mizrak top him is, well... interesting. That Olrox wants to be in a relationship with Mizrak at all (deeper than "oh he's hot, we should fuck"), as indicated by him clinging to Mizrak in S1E4, is a fascinating one. Giving someone like that any power over you, voluntarily (after all, Olrox is stronger than Mizrak, he doesn't have to allow Mizrak any control) is deeply intriguing. The concept of marginalized people who love people who are active in making them marginalized is a complex idea and I like biting into it in fic as a marginalized person who unfortunately does that.

Said clinging in S1E4 feels kind of like something a bottom would do? Obviously you can frame it any way you want, there's no actual "this is bottom behavior" label or whatever on it. But it kind of feels that way and it's fun to angle it that way.

Olrox sitting on Mizrak in S1E3 while clothed is so fun for him riding Mizrak headcanons. I'm sorry you're boring but I'm not.

If people want buff cute guy to top the slightly less buff pretty vampire, let them

You can still draw whatever conclusions you want from the final episode of season 2, but it very much feels like Mizrak is topping at least at some point in their relationship by now, and if people want to go with that, I say let them

The idea of a weaker/newer vampire topping a more powerful/older vampire is fun

Younger top/older bottom is popular

The potential idea that Mizrak is more powerful than Olrox expected + is topping him is fun

Being versatile is a thing

Certain dynamics are popular in fandom and people roll with them

Olrox topping has been popular in fandom since 2023. I know, I wrote it twice in 2023: Mizrox with Olrox topping, Olrox/Richter with Olrox topping. It's not radical to write, it's just what people enjoy doing for whatever reason. I didn't look at Olrox and Richter and score them on pretty points to see who got to top/bottom. I just didn't see them in that scenario with Richter topping. I imagined it, though. Just didn't get around to writing it as a fic.

I'm curious how precisely you make this stupid concept work with Adrian, who is also pretty lol Are Adrian and Olrox not allowed to fuck in any way where one is a bottom because they're both pretty lol (I made Olrox a bottom in that relationship, hate me if you must :3)

More to the point, people can do whatever they want. It's shipping. Play with your dolls how you want and let other people play with theirs how they wish. Block if it annoys you.

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.

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.

[savetheacolyte]

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.
