Call Me Oppa - MYG (18+)

Pairing: Yoongi X Fem!Reader

Theme: PWP, Smut, established relationship au.

Word count: 1350

Summary: Yoongi has a weird kink... Maybe you'll find it out soon enough.

Warnings: Oppa kink, unprotected sex (stay safe y'all), creampie, fucking on a couch, Jin appears, Yoongi is lowkey jealous, Minors DNI!

***********

"Oppa, put it here" you call out to Jin and Yoongi eyes you from across the room. Jin puts the box where you pointed out and sighs. 

"Here you go. Anything left to do?" He asks you. 

"Nope. Nothing more. I really appreciate all the help. Me and Yoongi could never do all of it on our own. Who knew shifting can be this messy." You say as you scan the apartment and make a mental note of all the boxes that need to be unpacked and organised. 

"It's nothing, Y/N. This is what friends are for. Right Yoongi?" Jin calls Yoongi out as he peeks behind his broad shoulders to the younger one. Yoongi humms from the kitchen, trying to fix the blender that Namjoon broke a few minutes back. 

"Oppa, go and have lunch. We'll join you in a few." You tell Jin already feeling guilty for the amount of work you had put all of them through. 

"See ya." Jin departs leaving you and your boyfriend alone in your very new penthouse. 

"You never call me Oppa." Yoongi says all of a sudden. You contemplate for a minute if you have heard him right or not. 

"What? What are you talking about?" You ask him, being very confused about his weird allegation. 

"I said, you never call me oppa but hyung gets to hear that a lot." He says calmly, as if he is not saying something that is totally out of context. 

"I mean, I suppose to call him that, I guess? He is older than me and very much like a brother to me… so what else do I call him? I just don't get to call him by his name, honorifics you know?" You object. 

"You can refer to your boyfriend/husband as oppa too, you know that." He places his argument. 

"I know but it cringes me. Baby, babe, even jagi will do but not oppa." You reply, cutting the plastic wrap of your very new white couch that both of you wanted to buy for a long time but was too afraid with all the chances of getting it all dirty. You don't notice Yoongi coming behind you, eyes raking your body in an irresistible urge of taking you right then and there. 

Before you can register your boyfriend's presence right behind you, his big hands grab you by your waist as he presses his semi-hard cock on your butt. 

You grasp because of his sudden actions, "yoon-" he cuts you by pressing soft kisses on the back of your neck. 

"What if I want you to call me oppa?" He says in between the kisses. You wiggle to get rid of his hold but he only holds you tighter in your place. 

"Yoongi, not now plea-" he cuts you again by biting the crook of your neck. A soft moan escapes your lips. 

"You don't have to call me oppa all the time. But maybe when no one is hearing? Maybe when I'm stretching your tight pussy out with my bare cock? Maybe when I'm fucking your brain out? Maybe when I rutt into you on our new couch?" His hand slips into your sweat shorts right through your panty as he starts to tease your fold. You're wet, not a lot but wet. And he takes the opportunity to abuse your clit for a bit so that he can slide his fingers and then his cock in smoothly. 

You throw your head back at his chest granting him a better access to the skin of your throat. His fingers rub on your clit roughly and his teeth do a fair job on creating bruises on your neck, you get wetter and wetter by each second.

"The boys are downstairs, yoongi." You say in a breathy way. 

"Who cares." He says before disconnecting his mouth from your skin and pushing you down on the couch. However, his fingers do not slip out of your shorts. 

Yoongi climbs over you and finally slips his fingers out only to discard clothes from your body in an urgency. 

Devil works fast but Yoongi works faster while sliding down your sweat shorts along with your cotton panties down and your tshirt out of your body, leaving you completely naked for his eyes only. 

"So beautiful" he says briefly before slipping two of his fingers in your cunt. 

His mouth finds your hardened nipple and he takes a long suck, one that makes your whine loudly. He bites on your nipple, you hiss, "Yoongi please." 

"Call me oppa." He says and you obey him without much thought, also you're not in a condition of thinking anything. 

His fingers bend and he finds the spot that makes you squeal. 

"Oppa! Please!" You moan out loudly. 

"That's like a good girl" Yoongi praises you. 

Your hands reach out for Yoongi's tshirt, he takes the signal and briefly detaches himself from you to slip out of his clothes. 

Your new penthouse has a nice view. One advantage of owning a penthouse on the 18th floor is that you get a beautiful view of the cityscape and afternoons with the mesmerizing view of sunsets. And that beautiful view gets double the more exciting when your boyfriend is standing naked in all of his glory. His long hair reaches almost to his shoulder, his lean but muscular body gets bathed in the orangey hue casted by the setting sun, his dick stands tall and proud ready to fuck you into oblivion. You love it all, you love him with everything you have. 

"Admiring me?" Yoongi says lowering himself on the couch again. 

"You're so beautiful." You say as if in a daze. Yoongi's cheeks take up a dusty pink colour and you know he is shy. He might not be the most vocal person about his feelings, his likes and dislikes but you know how much he likes to be praised for his appearance. 

However, that pink hue goes away as soon as it comes rather a darker shade takes over his gaze. He positions his cock on your entrances and teases your slit for a bit. 

"Stop teasing, yoo- oppa" you correct yourself and by the look on your boyfriend's face, you know he likes it. 

He enters you slowly and gives you enough time to adjust. Once you're okay with his length, he starts moving slowly. His hands roam all over your body but come to a stop on your wrists. He pins those above your head and you know you're gonna be wrecked very soon. 

As soon as your hands are pinned above your head, Yoongi picks up his speed. 

He starts pounding you at an inhuman pace and you can't help to moan incoherent words. 

"You like it? Me fucking you in our new apartment? Right by this huge ass window?" Yoongi asks.

"Yes oppa! Yes! I like oppa's cock drilling in my cunt." You moan. 

"Fuck!" Yoongi groans, you know your words are affecting him. 

"You dirty little slut! You're all mine!" He says again, placing a hand on your tummy while the other one stays above your head pinning down your wrists. 

"Yes oppa yes! All yours!!" You whisper. You feel your heat building in your stomach as he hits your g-spot again and again. As a result your walls start to squeeze the hell out of him. 

"I can't stay longer if you keep on squeezing like this!" He grits through his teeth. 

"I'm close. I can't-" and with that you cum on his cock. 

"Fuck baby! We're not using condoms! Where should I-"

"Anywhere but my white couch! I'll kill you if you spill a single drop! Cum in me! Fuck! Cum in me!" You scream out and Yoongi cums in you. 

"Fuck, fuck, fuck." Yoongi comes down from his high and falls on the top of your body. You both try to catch your breath. 

"We will appreciate it if you stop talking about cumming on the couch, we are trying to eat here!!" Someone yells from downstairs. It's Jin again.

You want to know what I find funny, you have people complaining about character misrepresentation on their fyp talking about the exact character you happened to know so you gained the curiosity of diving into their page just to realize that they also misinterpreted the characters as well.

Like not once did they actually try to understand the character from a human perspective but they tried to wooblfy them to the point of it's being pathetic or to the point where they cant do anything wrong.

Ive been complaining about Jax being the main issue of this on x because he's the main thing you find it on no matter where you go or what you do in the Twitter community but I should also point out ragatha being treated the same way not only in AU's, shipping but just generally talking about her character at a humanity standpoint.

They picture her as someone who legit can not do anything wrong like this marry sue type of way. Matter of fact like a child who as always black and white innocent. Ragatha is in her 30's and have been staying longer then most of the gang with the exception on kinger. Gooseworkx stated that not every thing is black and white when she was talking about ragatha.

I can get into what I think ragatha character is but I'm not really knowledgeable to pin point that. I'm double tracking but it's way much more better then what I've seen people on Twitter doing, wallowing her down to a pure white character, ignoring the fact that humanity isn't black and white and have these shades of grey.

The way that I seen it knowing the context of the digital circus. Nearly none of the characters are purely morel, I don't need to explain Jax but when it comes to ragatha and the others. I legit need to point out that they have been trapped in the digital world for years.

That does something to someone, being stuck in a world where it's treated like Minecraft while the possibility of your actual real body decay.

One thing for sure is that that the members of the digital world could have acted differently before they entered and changed afterwards before pomni arrival.

Heck I would have found it funny if ragatha had acted the same as Jax in the real world and Jax vise versa before becoming who they are now.

This is just my Ted talk. I am planning on presenting myself better in the future really. I would like to here y'all thoughts on this.

she's there watching for me

fandom: elvis 2022 | elvis presley rating: m pairing: elvis presley ( big daddy flavor ) x female reader word count: 2593 warnings: p in v sex ( unprotected ). insecurity regarding weight. the word fat being used in the narrative. implied breastfeeding kink. light sub elvis. mommy kink. light dom reader. implication that elvis is girthier than normal when he hasn't had release in a while. brief mention of pills/detoxing. elvis is a selkie. bit of fingering. use of the words mama and baby boy. a hefty chunk of belly worship. author’s note: welcome to day 3 of ally’s wet hot smut summer, mommy kink with selkie elvis presley x reader. so for context i feel like i need to make it clear, so the original selkie au i wrote was set pretty much in a timeframe of about 1971 to 1973. basically allowed y'all to read it and decide which age you wanted elvis at. i erred more toward '73 in my mind mostly because that was pretty close to 40 and i had made the comment in the fic about him being surprised he got that close to forty. that being said, this means the more time that passed in the universe the closer i was getting to 1977. i— have never intended this to have a sad ending. honestly if y'all must know out of all the series i've inadvertently written, this has the most gentle ending other than spark for elvis as far as when he eventually dies. so this takes place in an alternate 1978 where elvis is still alive and is about big daddy build. there is also a hint to the future breastfeeding kink fill and a little surprise in here. know that— the fact that a certain name does not have the middle name attached to it is important. also if you have no idea what this series/verse is, the masterlist is right here. beyond that long winded author's note, special thanks to @stylespresleyhearted and @eliseinmemphis for being my feral little gremlins. to @prompted-wordsmith for being seal!!! always and to my discord wives, birdy, christi and marina, y'all know i love you till the end of time. also once again, i really do love how y'all liked this and received it and live to see your thoughts on my writing.

"Mama." A sleepy murmur leaves Elvis's lips, a pout firmly planted on them as he feels your side of the bed. It's empty and starting to chill, a common occurrence when you're not occupying it. You always forget that he's a bit of a light sleeper until a certain hour of the night when you think his brain and body finally shut off. That hour of the night was at least two hours away but you were for once experiencing your own sleeping issues caused by one Lisa Marie, one John Baron and one little Jesse. A bit of a bug had found itself circulating around the younger three in the house and you found yourself taking care of your little seal pups. After all you were if nothing else, a good seal wife. A good seal wife who happens to be sneaking into your own bedroom like a guilty woman.

"You should have already been sleeping. Didn't you keep telling me how exhausted you were?" You ask, sliding into bed next to Elvis, your hand cupping his face. "I think you dozed off on the way home from the concert."

Elvis can't help but flush a bit in embarrassment as he looks at you, trying to come up with some excuse. "Can't— Feel all keyed up...ya know how I get 'fter a show. Can't go swimmin' to burn it off." He licks his lips, watching the way your chest moves up and down in your nightgown, "jus' worried 'bout how the paper's gonna talk 'bout me."

"It's Memphis, Elvis. They're not going to talk about you like everyone else, you're their son. Honorary King of the city," your hands move to his front, brushing against his stomach, marveling at the feel of the silk of his pajama top and how it reminds you of his skin. "That why you're wearing a shirt to bed? Hiding it away from me?"

It meaning his stomach. Elvis looks away and shrugs. "Mama— don't. I know 'm still packin' on some weight." He had thought when he met you it was just his body betraying him, trying to blubber up like a true seal and it had fluctuated enough as you helped him sweat out his uppers and his downers and everything that wasn't strictly required. He thought maybe you'd get something resembling the man you met all those years ago.

But you always take such good care of him and he should have realized that when you made sure he was well fed with his pups that his own body— his genetics would rear their head and he'd stay a stocky and fat sort of man no matter what exercise he did. Damn human body seems to think he needs blubber as much as he does as as a seal.

"And? Are we not married? Did I agree to love you no matter what?" Even as you try and answer a little flippantly your eyes dart across his face and his body looking for a tell-tale sign that you pushed too hard with that retort but only see a shrug. "I know my pussy doesn't have your tongue, so Elvis— you want to answer?"

"Yes, Mama," he whispers, shifting in the bed a little at the way your tone shifts from purely loving to one that's just commanding enough that he has to focus on breathing and willing his cock to stay down. You're both exhausted but damn if lil Elvis isn't wanting to bury himself so tight in your snatch that he has no choice but to sleep afterward.

At the word Mama you feel your toes curl just a little bit at how it sounds leaving his lips. It's not the first time he's ever called you Mama, after all, you are the step mother to his daughter and the mother to his sons. There's something in his tone though, something that has your body strumming with what you've affectionately dubbed your seal wife sense that tells you something is off. This is different. "You don't have to call me Mama when we're not talking about the pups, Elvis."

Elvis's tongue darts out to lick at his lips as one of your breasts finally makes an escape from the top of your nightgown. You hear the sharp inhale of his breath before without warning his face burrows into your chest frowning at how they don't feel full of milk and pulling you close as his arms wrap around you. "Ain't callin' ya it 'cause of the pups, Mama."

A shiver passes through you at his hot breath against your chilled chest. He's not just calling you Mama because of the pups. You're— you take care of him as well as anyone would take care of a baby boy, don't you? You make sure his meds are taken, make sure no one takes advantage of him when he doesn't want to bother with particulars. You make sure everything is in tip top shape with him and everyone around you. You're his Mama too, aren't you?

Your words come out a unintentionally a little shaky, your nerves starting to get the best of you before you finally ask a simple question. "Do you want Mama to take care of you? Show you how much she loves you?"

Elvis very rarely sounds like a seal when he's in his human form. He very rarely can make the specific vocalizations he needs to in order to achieve it but sometimes even with his body in his human form, he can manage it. You swear you see a flash of his skin, almost as if he wants to shift before you hear the whimper and whine against your skin in between kisses to your chest. "Please."

Denying Elvis isn't something you're good at since you came back together and especially since you've been married. He is the love of your life, the seal to your seal wife but you need to have the control today, he needs to cede over his control to you for you to take care of him. It's with that knowledge in hand that you push him away from your chest even as you hear a growl and a whine fall from his lips. Your hands push on his chest, forcing him to lay down even as one hand moves to unbutton his shirt, exposing his chest hair to you first and then exposing his stomach— that filled out out swell that tell the story of how you're taking care of him and damn anyone who'd say anything different about it even if you know sometimes his body acts up and makes things twist and turn and hurt him. Your hands run through his chest hair as you move to kiss his lips and down his neck to his chest where you nip at both his nipples earning two short barks of surprise. When you reach his stomach you feel him shift more, his hips bucking just a little as if to distract you and get you to move down to his aching cock that you haven't even touched but is pressing against the bottom of his stomach. Precum starts to smear against the underside of his stomach and he needs you do something to it.

"Did Mama say you could move, baby boy?" You coo as you rub his stomach, hands forcing the silk of the shirt completely away and exposing his bare torso to you. "Let Mama show you how much she loves this. How she has to stop herself from grinding her beaver on it. You'd like that, wouldn't you, baby? Want Mama to come on this big stomach of yours? Have the hair on it all shiny from my come?"

As you talk you feel yourself growing more and more aroused, your underwear quickly becoming drenched despite him not even touching you. You can't help but grind a little against him, leaving a little wet spot where your nightgown and underwear block your body from his. A whimper that almost sounds like an angry growl leaves his mouth as he tries to keep himself from moving. His hands itch to grab your hips, to tear your panties off in a fit of animalistic fervor and bunch up your nightgown so he can sink his cock between your folds and feel just how drenched for him you are. What he does do is move to take off his pants only to have your hand grab at his wrist. "Patience."

"Ya teasin', Mama," he grunts out a warning, trying to act as if he's not cededing all control to you. You aren't focusing where he needs you to and that just won't do. "Gonna come in my pants if ya don't do somethin'. Wanna feel that tight—"

His words are cut off when you use the grip you have on his wrist to bring his hand to between your legs, his fingers easily gliding into your glistening cunt. The only thing that leaves his mouth is a groan of pleasure, his head falling back as he allows himself to play with your clit. You don't stop him.

"So needy, my baby boy." You tease as you maneuver to take off his pants, pulling them down just enough that you can hear the smear of his cock against his stomach. Hear how he's leaking so much already that you won't really even have to prep yourself. You had originally planned to suck at it, to put it in your mouth until it managed to stand at attention but that isn't needed tonight, is it? No, he's ready and aching and throbbing in your hand as you grip it. Your other hand moves to lift up his stomach just enough to fully expose his cock as you slide the foreskin down to reveal it in all its glory. You can't help but lick your lips and clench around Elvis's fingers.

"Christ, Mama." He curses as his cock twitches, begging to be buried inside of you. He pulls out his fingers and moves them to his mouth, watching you with hooded eyes and labored breaths as he sucks on them, tongue taking in every last bit of your juices. His fingers leave his mouth with a pop. "Taste so fuckin' sweet. Please help me out."

"Don't I always?" The words slip from your lips with a smile as Elvis's eyes look up at you through his eyelashes and he gives you the same answering smile. You take a moment to pull yourself on top of him and situate yourself before you sinking down ever so slowly. Your breathing sync up, becoming shorter as you get more and more of his cock inside you. This isn't the first time you've had sex, far from it but it's the first time Elvis has truly given you this much control over what's happening between you. A whisper of his name escapes your lips as you move down to kiss him softly at first before worrying his bottom lip between your teeth. It reminds you of your first kiss with him and from how he shakes underneath you— you think he remembers too. "Baby boy, you're— you feel bigger than normal. You've been needing Mama that bad all night? Got it all pent up inside you?"

He nods, not trusting how his voice is going to sound. Figuring it'd take on a high pitched quality it hasn't had since he was first starting out or even from before then. You might be his Mama and he's your boy that you take care of so well but— he can't let ya hear him like that. Almost as if you sense he's holding back, one of your hands moves to cup his face, brushing your fingers against his sideburns until you reach his hair. You yank just a little at some of the strands and force him to look at you. "Don't— don't hold back for mama. Let it all out, baby boy. It isn't healthy to hold back. Let me hear you while I help lil Elvis feel better."

It's then that the floodgates open, a string of curses and growls and every noise in between leaves Elvis's mouth as you bounce in his lap, clenching your cunt every so often in between bounces. Elvis's own hips can't be contained as he thrusts up against you, earning more than a few shouts from you as you feel him deeper than he ever has been. You know from how keyed up both of you are that neither of you is going to last long, but you don't want Elvis to come before you. No, you want to come on his cock, drenching it with your release before you feel his warm release coating your insides.

"Mama— gonna come. Gotta— gonna burst. Fuckin' beaver so goddamn tight and ya tits just bouncin' like that all empty, can't even suck 'em." His words are practically gibberish but you can't help but huff out a laugh even as you grab his chin and force him to look at you, his pupils blown, lips shiny with spit and forehead with a sheen of sweat.

"Not till Mama says. Be a gentleman. Be a good boy for Mama," you practically croon at him even as your voice lilts up just a little. "Mama wants to come on your cock. Can you help Mama do that?"

"Yeah, Mama, I—Wanna help ya. Do so goddamn much for me, let me—" His words get eaten up by your lips on his and the moan you let out against them when his hand moves past his belly and your own to play with your clit, the calluses on them adding just enough friction that you don't even have time to warn Elvis before your orgasm comes, your pussy squeezing his cock tighter than it ever has as your release covers his fingers and his cock. You haven't felt the warmth of his come yet, though, and you know he's being good. Being the best boy he could be for the best mama he thinks you are. You struggle to catch your breath but manage to say one word.

"Please."

Somehow he knows what you mean by the word. Somehow he knows it's you giving him permission to finally come and release every bit of tension and insecurity that's kept him up tonight. He comes with a roar— or maybe it's a bark, but all you know is that it sounds so animalistic that it had to have done something good. It had to have achieved something for him just from how you see his head flop back against the pillow as you watch his chest and belly rise and fall with deep breaths.

After what feels like a lifetime you manage to get up and use the bathroom, grabbing a warm washcloth on your way out to try and clean up the mess between you two. Elvis practically looks like he's passed out as you clean up his cock, marveling at how it twitches just a little in your grasp— almost as if to say it wants another round. When you finally slide under the covers, you feel Elvis shift beside you and pull you closer to him, to where your head is over his chest. You can hear the steady but still quick beats of his heart.

"Thank you, Mama."

That whispered bit of thanks puts a small smile on your face. "Any time for my baby boy."

[koulakoukoula2003]

ok i don’t know if requests are open but omggg i've been reading your fics about erwin with a pregnant s/o and i was wondering what you think he'd be like if his s/o was expecting twins 👀👀👀

LISTEN AU Erwin would be THRILLED. I think he wants to be a dad and even if you had just one baby it wouldn't take long before he'd give you another, so imagine if he'd find out that you have two????

Let's not talk about canon Erwin lmao if it were canon, you guys wouldn't even be together cuz he doesn't want to bring children in this fucked up world and blah blah blah LET'S FOCUS ON MODERN AU OK?

Just how amazing is it that your body can nurture two at the same time???? He's admiring you, he's worshipping you, he will provide for all your needs before you even get the chance to ask. This man is careful and considerate. He will STUDY you. He'll learn all expressions on your face, all tiny movements, all body language you have to offer, and he'll be able to decipher it all and give you everything you need before you even ask.

You DON'T get to stand off the bed or your favourite armchair or your favourite spot on the couch. Just ask for it, whatever you need, food, sweets, something to entertain yourself with, ANYTHING, and he'll bring it to you. He will even neglect his work and take as many days off as he can when you're at the final month.

At this point, your belly is so big and stuffed and LEMME TELL YOU STH he finds it so absolutely erotic djfbfjfjg NSFW WARNING he'll take you on his lap and stuff his fingers in your puffy cunt and bully all your sensitive spots till you're squirting all over.

You're just so unbelievably sensitive when pregnant, he will exploit it to give you pleasure to the fullest ♥️

Back on the fluffy stuff, he would come and just kneel down and kiss your belly out if nowhere. You two would spend hours and hours trying to decide on names, and not to mention you two, in the tub, him behind you, holding you, grooming you and bathing you and difjfjdjgnfn I'm a touch-starved bitch can't you tell

Basically you've never felt more loved in your life. You're the centre of his attention. You're his everything.

Now, about the time when you go to labour? Poor man's panicking lmaoooo this isn't just one, it's TWO the pain and the stress and the suspense comes in double, he will be grilling your hand, he will be encouraging you, but he's panicking and acting as if he's feeling the pain himself lmaooooo will probably faint

I hc that it would either be a boy (looking exactly like him) and a girl (looking exactly like you), or two twin boys (both looking exactly like him, like imagine bringing two more erwins in this world like you're blessing the world).

And for context, some of you might already know this, but there are cases of twins that don't look the exact same (when two eggs at the same time have been fertilised), and then there's the other type of twins that's most commonly known, where they look they exact same (they share the same genetic material cuz they come from the same zygote that has divided into two, creating two genetically identical human beings).

Anyways, that was all, I'm so sorry it took so long to respond but now that summer break is here, I will respond to all the other wonderful asks y'all have sent me ♥️

[nartml]

it's not "entirely made up", which is the entire reason people are complaining lol have you seen what the fandom has done to the nazi allegory?

i agree that the people complaining are toxic, but also, a lot of the changes are both misogynistic and homophobic, and there's a lot of toxic masculinity and abusive romance tropes being romanticized, are people not allowed to call them out? representation is important, isn't it?

you literally tagged your post, adding to the toxicity

most new works follow the "new model" and people who write different things are harrassed (i've seen people be harrassed simply because they don't ship wolfstar). how are we supposed to change that if we don't call it out?

discourse in fandom is normal. you can just as easily follow your own advice and not read it/block it.

Y'all are quick lmao

Okay, okay, so, to get the easy stuff out the way:

I unfortunately made another hasty post, I didn't elaborate enough, that's definitely on me.

In my defense, it's 2:30am, I need to be up in five hours at the latest, and I saw the fifth post hating on jegulus and/or other fun parts of the fandom that I genuinely cannot find anything objectively problematic about.

I got pissed.

I tagged my post, and I agree that I further fueled the discourse.

This has been something that I've done before, unfortunately. I'm used to thinking of tags as part of screaming into the void, I'll be sure to erase them after this.

But as you said, it's normal for there to be discourse in fandom.

And honestly, that's what I usually do. Ignore it. Like I do with a lot of things I don't agree with on the internet.

I don't remember contributing to this whole ordeal before tbh, and I've been here for a decent amount of time.

But I got so ticked off, I wanted to get it off my chest for once.

Lost my grip there, but I honestly didn't think too deeply about it.

Anyway, yes, yes, obviously it's not entirely made up. We have the HP series, aka the source material, in which we do see quite a bit of Remus and Sirius.

I was more referring to the fact that every single other character in the marauders era, is, in fact, made up.

It's undeniable that, despite the bits and pieces we've heard throughout the books, we can't possibly have any sort of concrete understanding of how these characters were during their Hogwarts days, before the war.

Not only because the bits and pieces don't in any way make up a whole picture, but also because some of them might've been entirely unreliable.

So these characters; younger Remus and Sirius, as well as James, Peter, Lily, Regulus etc etc etc, have more or less been crafted on very arbitrary ideas.

They are made up, and very rarely reconcilable to their adult counterparts, which makes sense from several standpoints. (E.g. their canon characters have been severely beaten down and traumatized. AUs take place in entirely different settings; the context changes entirely, and so do the characters)

Now, as for the nazi allegory, I assume you're referring to a) morons who are glorifying the death eater tattoo (jesus christ), or b) the 'Slytherin Skittles'?

In b's case, I'd wager it started with Regulus and the potential to explore the Black Family dynamics, which then escalated to giving him his own friend group and creating entertaining dynamics between them.

However, I genuinely do not see the harm in this.

It hardly matters that they're canonically deaths eaters, or that they were most likely blood supremacists and horrible people; or whatever else could've been going on with them.

They were so barely mentioned in the actual story. Doesn't matter what effect their existence had on the story and how it served the narrative, because they were barely ever directly there.

We know next to nothing for fact. So it's next to impossible for most people to care for their actions in canon, and just see them as blank canvases.

I can't really fault them for that.

People project whatever they want on characters that are firmly established and thoroughly explored; characters that are borderline non-existent are free real estate.

And yes, changes can totally be problematic.

A prime example is definitely the hyperfeminization of Sirius, to make wolfstar fit the classic heteronormativity that plagues queer ships.

As for the romanticization of abusive romance tropes, I honestly have never seen it.

I mean, I hear people complaining about it, but I swear to fuck, it feels like you guys are fighting ghosts sometimes 😭

Either it's a part of the fandom I've somehow steered clear of, despite being balls deep in it, or some people are exaggerating, which isn't out of the realm of possibility, but I kind of doubt that's the case.

As for toxic masculinity, again, I literally haven't seen it. Hand to my heart, scout's honour, I have not.

Hyperfeminization? Definitely.

Toxic masculinity? Macho men? Written in any context that's not challenging it, and is promoting it? Nope.

Representation is important, and that was the other part my post was based on.

I've seen people hate on the liberties others have taken to explore gender through these characters, which ticked me off even more.

And this is coming from a cis individual, who doesn't really fuck with he/they Sirius, they/them James, etc etc.

I don't think that there's any harm in people creating/enjoying content that is representative of their struggles/experiences with gender (or any other part of life).

Exactly because in the marauders fandom, characters are incredibly flexible, for aforementioned reasons.

Blank canvases, remember?

Usually this hate, from what I've seen, comes from people who prefer sticking to the canon part of this whole story.

In which case, totally, the 'new model' is very. Very. Unrealistic.

(There are definitely harmful headcanons out there. Even within this context, there also exists content that fetishizes the very thing I just defended. But I physically can't sit here and list off every problematic thing that has happened in this fandom. I don't have the energy. And that's not what the post is about anyway)

-"People who write different things are harassed".

Yes, glad that you get my point, even though I obviously didn't get it across.

This goes both ways. This goes all ways. Yeah, people who don't ship wolfstar get hate.

But people who headcanon Regulus as trans get it too.

People who prefer Jily get hate.

But jegulus shippers have their hands full as well.

People giggling over silly headcanons that are honestly just that: silly; can't catch a break.

What was that, you like the new model? Here's all the ways I think it sucks ass.

Oh, you prefer canon? What a loser, you're in the wrong fandom.

Ultimately, the joy gets drained out of everything.

This is meant to be fun. This is meant to be a break from real life stress.

It's not meant to leave you exhausted because you're too busy apologizing about not taking something too seriously, or defending your ship preferences.

In the end, however, I obviously get what you're saying. There are harmful changes that deserve to be pointed out.

But I never said that they didn't. Calling out the notions that are inherently problematic when perpetuated is important.

Constructive criticism is welcome. It's crucial. It only adds, it deepens people's understanding of media and brings attention to problematic aspects of certain interpretations.

That's not what I was referencing in my original post; at least, not intentionally.

I was talking about how so many people love to mindlessly complain about things they don't like, without actually bringing up any substantial points.

The only goal is to tear other people down.

As we've agreed, some of these changes are problematic.

But so is the way some people convey their disagreements.

Some of y'all use your complaints about new character developments to also hide your general prejudice against something.

Like, there's no need to get this heated over genderfluid Sirius.

In this particular instance, it's because the general concept of the 'new model' is pretty mainstream, so it's hard to avoid it. So I know that I'm being a bit unfair when I say, 'ignore it'

Ignoring it is rarely easy though, no matter how mainstream or minor.

It should be, because logically this is all fictional and it doesn't matter if someone dislikes your OTP, or if you think someone's hc is painfully unrealistic.

But we can't help it. It's impossible to care about how fictional something is when it means so much to us.

And seeing something antithetical to our interpretation can feel like some sort of personal attack, even when it's really not.

Part of it also stems from how, when you see fifty other people throwing in their two cents, you also want to.

Because it's a base instinct to want to be heard.

All that said, ignoring it, despite the circumstances, is often the best way to go, because a lot of the time it can be irrational.

Hating on someone because they don't like your ship can be irrational.

Starting a fight over someone's differing interpretation of a character can be irrational.

Think critically before you speak, and be careful when phrasing your points.

Being respectful is crucial, and if you're not getting the same courtesy, then stepping back is the smarter choice.

I'm still working on always maintaining these things myself.

I've been doing a bang-on job, broadly speaking.

I had a slight moment of weakness earlier :P

(For those wondering, I took the og post down. It wasn't anything tragic, I just said that most people who complain about the fandom's toxicity actively contribute to it when they hate on stuff others enjoy.

In the tags I went off a bit, my ultimate points being that the fun is often sucked out of everything, and that if I personally don't like something, I avoid it, stick to my stuff, and don't venture into others' spaces if I'm not willing to be open minded.

But I was definitely more aggressive with the delivery, which was my bad. I hate it when I break my own rules on how I want to behave on here.)

Anyway, so sorry for this long rant, and sorry if I've missed something or made a bad/harmful point. I'm borderline asleep.

And it's now 4:10am and I got too absorbed in this *sigh*

[ask-astf-characters]

{Personally, I just don't want to push or imply couples that might not be canon. Perhaps you could list us all the ones canon in the AU so we know which ones need our anon/asker help or just attention. Might just be me though} Back to Ellie please! Roses need lots of attention (it was a joke, don't strangle me). What even pushed you into life of crime? Are you willing to share some backstory? Or at least, what was your first, big heist?

{Ik that would help but it's a bit complicated, as I want you guys to figure these things out through the character's interactions and answers, not to mention some character dynamics are more complex than just 'together' or 'not together.' I want y'all to use context clues yk, I don't wanna just feed everything to y'all all at once}

Ellie, laying on top of a building: Honestly, the theft thing was just from when I was a kid. It was the only way to get anything nice. But the contract killer thing was honestly never planned, it just kinda happened? I don't do big heists, but my first heist ever was actually a little bank somewhere in... I wanna say southwest Texas...? I dunno, Texas is too damn big. Heh, y'know it was actually with my girlfriend at the time, but I can't remember her name... I dunno, something basic... Sometimes I miss her until I remember she fucked me over...

[blackcherryvelvet0909]

Hello all

First off, I want to apologize for the abrupt hiatus I took. I'll be the first to say I shouldn't have been constantly scheduling stories like that. In a way it was a ploy to try to get me energized and continue writing; as someone who's always planned things out, it seemed like the thing to do. Well, this time it didn't work out and I ended up driving myself into the biggest burnout hole I've ever been in. Combined with that was the stresses of the job I had. The work environment was INSANELY toxic, to the point I had to quit back in March. My boss made me choose between seeing my brother - who is a marine - off the day before he set out to sea or keeping my job. Of course, you can guess which I chose. With the state of the world, my brother could very well die out there; that day could have been the last I'll ever see him, if we're being realistic. That added onto the mistreatment I was facing concerning my disability and I was OUT. I've felt so much better these last couple months. Not everything is peachy keen, but I'm mentally and emotionally better now. My physical well-being has taken its toll due to the work they had me do (which they weren't supposed to, but what's done is done), but I'll cope. All I know is that I really want to get back into writing again. But this time I won't be planning things ahead or setting strict, near impossible deadlines for myself. For once I'm going to be nice and easy on myself and not be a perfectionist, lol. The fact that I've made the decision to pursue my dream career as a librarian (very nervous, haha!) will really force me to be gentle with myself and take my time writing. Again, I'm really sorry for leaving y'all hanging for so long. There will be more stories soon, the top of the agenda being the conclusion to my Beach Episode mini series. It'll have been a year since I started it next month (June), so I hope y'all are ready for more summertime shenanigans! In the meantime, I'll try and post some past pieces I've yet to post here. Given the current events of Chapter 7 in Twst, I hope you'll enjoy them! And one other thing: I'd like to introduce y'all to a certain project that's been in the works for almost two years now. It started off as a silly little presentation, but it slowly grew into one of the most complex set of stories I've ever written. This fandom has consumed me, lol! Fair warning that it will be darker than some of my other content: Chapter 7 levels of dark. Warnings will be posted onto the series' parts accordingly. For those who don't mind spoilers for Chapter 7, who already know the story thus far, and/or those who like a little AU action, I humbly present:

An alternate history AU featuring our beloved General Lilia Vanrouge and my most cultivated Twst OC, Persayis N. Siofra. A good few of you expressed interest in my characters in the past, so for those who don't mind dragging out the box of tissues, I welcome you to this story. It is a slow burn - a sorta one-sided enemies to lovers arc (the enemies part being the one-sided bit). I hope you'll join me for the ride. Who knows, if this becomes popular, I might just create a silly little crossover story featuring this au and the canon; a more light-hearted fan fair for those who will not be joining us. I do understand you all need context on Persayis and her pairing with Lilia before continuing, however. So, over the course of this week, maybe a bit this weekend, I'll be posting installments of her story via that presentation I mentioned earlier. You'll be the first to see it outside of some friends of mine, so I'm a tad nervous, but I hope you'll like it. In and out of Twst, Persayis is one of the best characters I've ever written. She's the favorite child right now, haha! Like the AU, Persy's story is Chapter 7 levels of dark, so be prepared for that if you're going to dive in. For those who love angst, you might want to stick around for this one. That is all I'll say for the time being. As I said, I'll be taking it easy on myself, so no strict deadlines. I'll be posting when I feel like doing so nowadays - the stories come when they come. I thank you all for your patience and understanding, and for sticking with me despite my absence. To think I have nearly 300 followers...I could never have dreamed! I hope I can continue to make y'all proud. Until the next post!

[mentally-a-slut]

Do you do scenarios or headcanons? If so, how many characters can we request for scenarios or headcanons? Would you do the same prompt with different characters? Can we request for gender neutral reader? Are there any topics you won't do like rape, suicide, etc? Do you do poly ships x reader? Would you mind if we request for Alternate Universes or Aus like AU where the character lives happily? Would you mind if the request is suggestive, implied sex, or mentioned sex but no explicit sex? Would you do NSFW requests? For Baldur's Gate 3 requests, would you mind if we don't specify the race/class to leave it ambiguous or if we ask specify the race/class like human/healer? What kinks would you accept for requests? Thank you in advance!

The specific format I will write in is not really decided, I usually just start writing and see where it takes me. I would love to do multiple characters for the same prompt, but the characters I will right for as of right now are very limited simply because I have not yet familiarized myself with their character. Currently I will write for Gale (BG3), Arthur Morgan and Charles Smith (RDR2), and Harvey (Stardew Valley.)

If you request gender neutral reader I can try my best, but if you want a smutty story with gn reader it would get difficult. I am open to doing AFAB gn reader for smut, so the reader would have fem body parts but would be referred to with they/them pronouns. If you wanted a fluffy piece that doesn't require the descriptions of certain body parts, the reader will not be specified as AFAB and could be imagined with male features. If you would like a work around to this, I will take requests that specify the 'reader' or OC you describe, which I would be open to doing gn and possibly male readers.

The things that are strict no's for me are not really clear, but I can list a few that I know I will never do. I will never write for rape/noncon, suicide, self harm, or anything along those lines. As I go on, I will make it clear what I will/won't write as requests come in.

The only poly ship I am open to doing right now is Arthur x Charles x reader. I would love to do other pairings in the future, but I only have the experience of this ship right now. However, I am up to trying pretty much anything! If you have an idea for a poly ship that you would like me to try and write, I can certainly attempt.

I love AUs, and I am a huge fix it fic writer. I hate sad endings and I would absolutely love to write happy AUs. Other AUs are also welcome, including (but not limited to) soulmate AUs. If you want to see me write something, just send an ask! Never hesitate to ask me questions and I will e happy to communicate with you.

I write smut, and I love doing it! Don't be afraid of sending smutty asks or requests. There are some kinks I'm not open to or just don't understand, but the usual things you would see in smuts are things I am down to write. For more intense or specific kinks, it would depend, but you'll just have to ask and we can figure something out!

For BG3 requests, if you want an ambiguous reader, that's totally fine, but depending on the request I might need more details. I love when people send specific details in a request, especially character/reader descriptions. Overall, I love doing specific requests, but will do vague ones as well. Just be aware that I may have to take some liberties and specify some things to make it work.

For kinks, I don't plan on doing anything with scat or stuff like that, and I won't do noncon. Dubcon is iffy, I'm honestly not sure and it would depend on the context. Kinks that I will for sure write are size kinks and choking. I am not comfy writing DDLG or daddy kink stuff, just a little iffy for me.

To be honest, all of this is subject to change the more y'all request, so please don't hesitate! No harm in asking questions, and I would be happy to answer them!

Thanks so much for the questions, Anon, and I hope I clarified some stuff for you!

SUV (Yes that is what I'm calling it)

Hello everyone and thank all 28 (woah) for voting in my first poll! Now this doesn't mean all of my au's are out of the picture but y'all asked and y'all will receive. So context I made this AU when I was very little I just happened to get into Steven Universe and Voltron at the same time. SVTFOE was also supposed to be here but I couldn't find a way to make it fit and make sense in the grand story.

But let's into it starting with headcannons, or canons since I'm the creator? Idk what to call them

Aqua

•Daughter of Lance and Lapis she is kinda the group leader. Born on March 5, 2125 (Pisces) in Beach City, Delaware. She actually got the hang of her powers pretty young compared to her friends and luckily for her the city actually became a city, now being the gem human capital of the world. She went to school at little homeschool and became a volunteer for the place. Since her parents were still close there kids became friends, a little more then friends actually.

•Aqua and Jay have only been dating for a few months now, in my mind it's around maybe 6-8 but the two deeply care about each other. Sometimes on dates Aqua will let him ride on her back and they just fly around the city with no cares in the world, even exploring the ocean. The two have even fused into Iolite on occasions, or as they like to call them, Io.

•But the girl has secrets, secrets she doesn't want even her closest friends to know. SHE'S A FANFIC WRITER. Her favorite show is called Moon Mist and it's about intergalactic medieval space fighters who go on daring quests and wonderful adventures. She thinks it's embarrassing though, even her friends make fun of her cause they kinda think the show is dumb.

•The girl's hair is genetic, along with all of her friends. Hair like that has become a lot more common since gem and human relations have gotten better.

•Even seeing a fish dead or in food can make the girl shed a tear she hates it, flying around the ocean, picking up trash, it makes her dad proud.

•Just like her mother, she has dabbled in the art of watercolor and other medians of paint. A little fun though she can never seem to get it right, even with her practice it's hard.

•Like the rest of her friends though, they miss their moms. Aqua misses hers the most, with all the other lazuli's flying around and teaching her how to use her powers, she can't help but still long for that tear drop hole in her heart.

Jay

•Kid of Hunk and Amethyst and heir to the Garrett cooking empire he is the the kid under, what he feels is crazy pressure. Born on April 28, 2124 (Taurus) in New Orleans, Louisiana he's the oldest out of the kids. Unlike the other kids his dad left Earth only a few months after he was born. With the growing empire of his dad's restaurant caused the two to move around a lot, never staying in one place for more then a few months. He hates it though. Every month is a new place farther and farther away from his friends, and lover.

•As his mother and father always say, the key to love is through a persons stomach, and he lives by that. It's how he shows his love to all his friends and family, especially with Aqua. He's always there when she needs a pick me up with her favorite homemade ice cream, or just on the fly with her burger.

•Being a shapeshifter Jay had always struggled with his identity, till when he was 13 he finally realized he was xenogender. Not being tied to any real gender or any concept of it. Then again his friends don't care about whatever he identifies as or choses to be, as long as he's Jay, him and them are happy.

•Hunk never once put pressure on his kid. He was always scared that he'd be like him when he was a teen, scared of everything and not wiling to be adventurous. But Hunk never had to do that oh no, oh no, Jay did that to himself. He feels like his has to continue his fathers legacy in some way to make him proud, even though the guy couldn't be prouder

•He tries to visit his friends as much as possibly, even if they are miles and miles away

•He's always trying new combos of food and making his friends taste them. Mostly there good, sometimes there amazing, but on the rare expected times he makes something bad, it's bad. Like, that one time he gave everyone food poisoning for a week straight.

Rose

•Child of Shiro and Pink Pearl she's a flip flop of characters. She's smart but stupid, naive and paranoid, no one can get a real good read on her. When she born Shiro and his husband had been wanting a kid and well, him and pink pearl had become really good friends so she decided to sacrifice herself to give her friend what he wanted. And before you know it with a little science, Rose popped out on November 31, 2135 in New York, New York.

•When she was about 3 her family moved to LA for Shiro's job which lead to Rose being around all the finder things in life. She wasn't the top 1% her family was just, rich, a Glinda type.

•As a kid her house was always the house the group would want to hang out with since it had all the hottest games and toys and everything a kid could want. But now it's just one of the many places they go to hang out.

•Even with her high statis in life, she always wished she's could be a run of the mill kid. No famous parent, no riches, wished she could go back into the past and when she found out about the 2000s through 2090s? God she was amazed. Which led her to spiral more, into the 1990s, 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s, times gone by. But she knows that's never gonna be her life.

•Like I mentioned, Rose makes bracelets for her friends, but her favorite is the one she made for Elliot. She doesn't fully know why but he's always been special to her

Elliot

•Speaking of which it's the man of the hour! Elliot was born April 3rd, 2124 (Aries) in the desserts of New Mexico along with his sister. After years Ruby and Sapphire wanted kids so Keith helped them out which lead them to give up there forms to make them.

•Elliot got Ruby's side which lead to anger, lots of angry mumbling, and only being able to focus on one thing at a time. The guy was never the best in school being known as the joker and pranker which got him in trouble with his dad. Along with Ruby's anger he got her powers and weapon

•Even with his troubles, the guy is surprisingly smart with fire. Since it can't effect him like a normal person he's always trying to find something to make his powers stronger, better, it's why he carries around a pair of goggles, it blows up in his face!

•He'd never admit this to anyone, but he has a minor crush on Rose. He thinks she so sweet and pretty and caring, and he couldn't help but smile more then he did anytime of his life when she gave him that bracelet. He's always careful with it, a bit paranoid about losing or blowing it up lmao

•He looks up to his Galura grandmother and wishes to be like her. We’ll more like have the markings of a Galura.

Frost

• Born April 3rd, 2134 Frost is the opposite of her brother. Even though the two are known to get into mischief once in a while her grades are out of this world, has really good control of her powers, yet not as popular as her more extroverted brother, but she doesn’t care.

• The girl got the powers of ice and future vision, only the future vision kinda stinks. It’s always a blur whenever they try to use it

•Is like Keith at the start of Voltron, she even takes her outfit from what he looked like as a teenager just changed the color to blue

•Was apart of some sports teams, but it never worked out for her

•Want to be just like her dad and be a pilot, even though Keith is scared it would be to dangerous from her even if he does encourage it

•Has a few other friends outside the friend group from clubs and volunteering

•Dances her sadness out when something bad happens. Just goes to the bathroom and busts it down lmao

Alexis

•Born February 5th, 2135 at 2:00am on a Saturday in New Mexico, with the two biggest brains on the team, they’re a super genius. They were made in a tube and laid dormant for almost nine months, but they came out pre-mature

•Alexis took a few years to warm up to the rest of the group, it was till 7 she begun to talk but used a tablet to speech to her mother. She never exactly liked the group at first, she could never understand how they worked, or any humans work really

• She despises the feeling of dirt and grime on her skin, it why unlike her mothers she hate gardening and going outside with a passion. It’s why they’re so pale.

•Has metal powers which are useful since also like their mothers, they love and adore tech and think it's better then any magical power out there

•Avid gamer that has one of those 'I paused my game to be here' shirts they were around the Garrison, it's where here and the twins go to school

•Buts heads with Frost a lot since the two are both the smartest kids there. But they do study together and for Alexis Frost is the only other person aside from their mother who they can have intelligent conversation with

•Yet that doesn't make them immune to drama. TV DRAMA THAT IS, Alexis is crazy about camp pining hearts were talking watching every episode, movie, cast interviews. Reading every book, script, even creating a whole video essay spanning 10 hours explaining every episode and plot point in the show in so much detail it could make your head spin

•For some reason dogs have always been special to them

That's it! If y'all want more just tell me cause I got a lot more

[st-rarepair-minibang]

I know y'all are being bombarded with questions, but I was wondering if adult ships with age gaps would be okay? Like Henry and Owens, or Steve and Hopper

This one honestly gets tricky and holds a lot of nuance depending on the ship. All platonic relationships are fine, so I'm going to answer in the context of romantic relationships:

As a general rule, we do not allow significant age gaps where the older one knew the younger one as a minor. And since grooming and all forms of abuse are not allowed, none of the pairings should contain any of those elements. Unfortunately something like (canonverse) Henry/Owens would contain something like that given that Henry is a prisoner in Hawkins Lab (even as an adult), where Owens works. An AU or a different backstory could change that, but if you have a firmer idea of what you want to do, it would be easier for mods to answer your question. Also, given the fact that Henry is a major villain and murderer, just keep in mind people may not want to work with that content.

Something like Stopper is a really gray area too, so we just ask that you do not include any elements of them knowing each other earlier on.

Sorry we don't have a more definitive answer for this, but these two ships particularly are a very gray area that could have some banned elements and we would really need more details.

[ruiniel]

⚓ and 🔥?

Hi there, much thank for the ask!

⚓ Pick a Silm ship to go down with. What is compelling about their dynamic?

HMM realized I'm not sure if the game includes AU pairings or just ones that appear in the published Silm? *overthinks everything*

But if it's the latter, then I don't really feel THAT strongly for any of them (the one I do feel strongly about in the First Age weren't technically a couple *grumbles*).

I love some of the 'Silm canon' couples' stories and struggles/achievements against all odds etc, but none *in itself* makes me go

Y'know?

That said, I slither and purr (what) for the dynamics of some (I'll probably think of more after I post this bc that's how it goes heh):

Finarfin/Eärwen come to mind because how do you get over all that *points at Alqualondë*? Hi honey, I'm home. Oh and by the way our kids are gone with those same people.

It's a great struggle to explore there methinks!

Nerdanel/Fëanor for all the reasons everyone knows/has been writing meta on since forever.

🔥 Give us your hottest Silm hot take.

Would a shortened lukewarm take work? Because it's likely been covered before in a 47 year-old fandom like ours.

Maeglin had to betray Gondolin.

Say Maeglin had not disobeyed Turgon, had not gone prospecting in the mountains to be captured by the Orc and taken to Angband and all that jazz. Then what?

What if Morgoth never found Gondolin and brought about its ruin without help from the inside (we know he only vaguely knew *something* of its location courtesy of Húrin I swear, that family accidentally flomps so much Morgoth didn't even need a curse).

The city might've remained hidden, its people kept safe while the rest of Beleriand crumbled, supposedly.

Would Eärendil have come to meet Elwing?

Would Ulmo's "the true hope of the Noldor lieth in the West and cometh from the Sea" still stand?

Turgon did send out ships to the 'uttermost' West to search for Valinor and ask for help, to no avail. Even if adult-Eärendil went out on his own as the others seeking the aid of the Valar, would he still succeed? Would we have everyone's favorite twins, a self-sacrificing voyage to Valinor, a War of Wrath, the changing of the world, the Ban lifted, a Númenor and from there basically everything noteworthy that happens in the Third Age?

Idk. Not to take away agency in the context of the narrative OR defend the unsavory side of his character as it's presented to us but to me, Maeglin has Doom (the way Mandos likes to say it🙄) written all over his forehead. And, Ulmo did warn Turgon the curse of the Noldor will 'find him' too via treason in a very typically-ominous Ulmo speech (bless him).

So like Bilbo will stretch this out and ask, could that mean that if it hadn't been Maeglin, it would've been someone else/had to be? To get the same outcome? *sniffs*

Conclusion: Maeglin saved Middle-earth, actually (kidding-KIDDING don't waste your tomatoes on me).

But really I find it an interesting topic to ponder

Hope y'all still awake

7: The Horse Knight Catches Up

CHTangled Hub, < prev, next >

So sorry for the delay on this! Had another AU come up so me and my partner were full force ahead on that and these updates got sidelined, plus I had a week of vacation that interrupted everything. I can’t promise a prompt two weeks for the next one (since classes have started up again), but I'll do my best! I know it's short, but I'll make it up to y'all soon. No warnings, just strangely fluffy violence and the best, funniest line of dialogue in the entire movie made funnier by this new context. Enjoy!

Zac didn't really want to sleep. 

It probably helped that no matter how hard he tried he couldn't, so he found himself sitting on the stump in their makeshift camp long after Emily had gone to sleep.

“What do you think I should do?” Zac turned to his outstretched hand where Lou had not-so-gracefully plopped himself down. He was beyond thankful that the chameleon hadn't been washed away in the river, and was overjoyed when Lou had climbed up to his usual perch on his shoulder after Emily had laid down to sleep.

He needed the advice.

Lou stared back at him with wide, disbelieving eyes, gesturing out around them at the forest with one of his front legs.

“You're right. It is everything I've ever wanted, but…” Zac trailed off, the darkness between the trees becoming impossibly darker as a shiver of fear ran through him. “What if he's right?”

Lou stared at him, annoyed and unimpressed.

“I know…” Zac heaved a heavy sigh, his friend’s gaze turning a little smug. “He has been wrong about everything else.”

The glare Lou shot Zac was a clear and slightly exasperated, That’s what I’ve been saying.

“You've gotten me this far.” Sighing again, Zac had to acknowledge that Lou really did seem to always know better than him. And all the wonderful things he’d seen, heard, and experienced so far with Emily would never have happened if Lou hadn’t encouraged him to leave the tower in the first place.

Lou grinned, still smug. Zac laughed a little as he then stuck his tongue out, distaste obvious.

“Yeah, believe me, I know you don't like Brennan.” Zac rolled his eyes. If he knew anything about Lou, it was his hatred for Brennan. Lou had spent the better part of the last couple years mocking him whenever he got the chance. “You've made that very clear. But that doesn't mean he's completely wrong…”

Lou shook his head, climbing back up to Zac’s shoulder with exaggeratedly slow steps. When Zac turned to ask him what was wrong, he saw the challenge in his friend’s eyes and caved immediately.

Lou is right. I can't just turn around and head home now.

“Okay.” Zac sighed, putting his hands up in defense. “Okay, you're right. We’ll go see the lanterns, and figure things out from there.”

He still didn't want to sleep, but he did feel a little more confident in himself now.

—

Emily awoke quickly to the sharp prick in the back of her mind of being watched. She rolled over and blinked her eyes open, only to find Sir Murphy standing directly overtop of her with a feral grin and a brandished sword.

“Well, I hope you’re here to apologize.” She yawned dismissively, before rolling over to go back to sleep. He really didn't scare her in the slightest.

It was an enraged shout from above her that had her waking up fully, rolling to the side as his sword stabbed down into the ground where she’d been lying. “What the fuck are you on about?!” 

Emily grinned as she popped up to her feet, glancing around and sighing in relief as Zac wasn't nearby. He was safe then, for now. “You’re quite rude, you know. For a knight. I thought you guys were all about manners.”

Murph swung the blade high, Emily easily ducking underneath it. “You’re not worthy of such consideration.”

“Whatever you say, dude.” Her attitude clearly irritated him to no end, his anger making his attacks wild and quite easy for the experienced thief to dodge. Their fight came to an abrupt halt, however, when a voice interrupted them from behind.

“Emily!” Zac froze in his tracks when he saw the knight, holding a handful of berries he’d been forging for ever since the sun came up. Emily turned to him, more confused than anything.

“Did you even sleep?!” She yelled, Murph staring at the two of them.

“Kind of!” Zac offered sheepishly, Emily frowning. “I wake up early every morning, though. That's not new.”

“Oh great. You're a morning person.”

Murph huffed loudly and waved his sword up in the air over his head to get the attention of the two, who stopped bickering to turn to him, annoyed. “I'm still here!”

“Yeah, well, that’s your choice.” Emily scoffed and started to turn away, not managing to hide her grin in time as Murph exploded, “No it is not!” 

“Can you cut it out?!” Zac cut in, setting down the fruit in his hands on the stump he’d sat on before getting between the two of them. “I need her, okay? I've got to see the lanterns!”

“The… what?” Murph lowered his sword a little, careful not to aim it at Zac. He had no idea who this guy was, and didn’t want to hurt him by accident. 

Or, well. If he kept interrupting his attempts to catch Emily, maybe it would get violent.

“Are both of you crazy?”

“I didn't come this far just to have to head back now.” Zac spread his arms out protectively, Emily sticking her tongue out at the knight over her friend’s shoulder. “And she's my guide, so if you want to arrest her or whatever it is, you're going to have to wait!”

Murph deadpanned. “Wait?”

“Boy’s got a point.” Emily shrugged, grinning wide. She lounged an arm over one of Zac’s shoulders, leaning forward onto him. “This is a super important thing for him, and I'm the only one who can help him. So if you want me, you'll have to wait.”

Seeing that Murph wasn’t willing to budge, Zac offered, “You two can go back to whatever weird chase thing you're doing after I see them, okay?” 

“I am not going to aid a fugitive!” 

Murph really wasn’t having it. He was this close to catching her, and now he had to wait a full day before he could do that because some guy wanted to see the festival?

Zac frowned, looking sideways at Emily before letting it morph into a childish pout as he turned back to Murph. “Well, also, you know, it is also… kind of my birthday.”

The three stared at each other in a deadlock for a long moment, Zac trying really hard not to give in to the knight’s cold stare before the latter suddenly heaved a loud, pissed-off sigh.

“Okay, fine!” Murph sheathed his sword, fuming. “But just until you see the lanterns!”

Zac and Emily turned to each other with a loud cheer, her pulling him in for a hug as Murph stood nearby with a scowl. Lou, who had watched this entire exchange from Zac’s shoulder, turned to grin at Murph—who scowled harder.

“Oh, what are you looking at?”

[eddie-munsons-missing-nipple]

gonna use this as a jumping off point if you don't mind...

this is SO TRUE and i also need some people to put down the "king steve" label and stigma. like i get it and i'm not trying to pick a fight but i gotta be honest, y'all are the ones i'm talking about when i say this fandom lacks media literacy!!

there's something really important about learning to distinguish between what characters are saying and what is the truth. and think about WHY they are saying what they say, and their motivations and the context in which they're speaking!!!

for example, robin's little "mr. funny, mr. cool, god you were SUCH an asshole" rant? we shouldn't be taking that at face value! we come to understand later that this was her projecting her jealousy about tammy, it's not necessarily true to steve genuinely being an asshole. she is a jealous teenage girl utilizing a device we commonly refer to as HYPERBOLE.

same thing with the way eddie talks about "king steve"! at a point when he! doesn't! know! steve! yet! he later admits that he was wrong about steve!! SO WHY DOES THIS FANDOM CLING SO HARD TO THE IDEA THAT STEVE IS AN IMMATURE BULLY ASSHOLE? WHEN WE CONSTANTLY SEE PROOF THAT THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF REALITY? (i've heard that the eddie book confirms that the baskeball team won't bully people in front of steve because he'd shut it down. he's a sweetheart and a goofball, he's not shoving people into lockers!)

anyway i've drifted from the original point of the post, but yeah! steve is allowed to be pretty! and that doesn't make him bad! he's allowed to look nice and take pride in his appearance, and even help others with finding their own confidence. there are several stories that i have absolutely LOVED where steve does shave his head, but i agree with some of the tags i saw - this often is a point of catharsis in an imagined post-s5 au where he is seeking to start over. but in normal context? let steve express himself!! be so fucking for real his friends would not be so mean to him all the goddamn time!

there's a difference between gentle friendly ribbing and having the whole party just actually bully steve in a meanspirited way, and i don't love the trend of fics i see that drift more towards the second tack. do you know what i mean?

and fuck it let me throw another peeve in the ring - i love the 'steve has bad parents' trope as much as the next girl but i gotta be honest, there's a pretty big tendency to write steve as if he has never had present parents or as if they are just cartoonishly evil, and i don't get it? that imo is a little bit lazy. it's so much more interesting to explore a dynamic relationship where his parents are maybe a bit distant or uptight but still care about him in their own way, and how the stuff he goes through in canon can impact that and add tension.

anyway i'm gonna stop now, cuz i also know that a lot of these fics are maybe coming from 14 year olds and i absolutely would have considered them shakespeare when i was 14. i'm not trying to bully any children here i just think it's time to challenge! and think of the more interesting story! add some nuance! analyze your media, don't just read the same fic remixed for the millionth time!

i think it’s interesting that so many people jump to steve shaving off his hair as a sign of growth, when i think what we’ve actually seen in canon is much more steve letting his hair grow out, and get messier as he’s evolved and grown out of what people expect him to be.

sure, it still fits within popular styles, but it is different to the way steve in s1 styled his hair, and i think steve having the freedom to grow out his hair and highlight it, etc, says more than steve just shaving it all off. the way his hair has changed through the seasons aligns with the ways steve’s developed, and tried to find himself outside of high school. and shaving it all off, usually in the midst of a mental health spiral, feels more like a step back, and, to me, comes across as this self-hatred punishment, as opposed to healthy growth.

Childe as your tutor~

Fem-bodied/afab reader x Childe

❗Warnings❗: !!MDI!!, Perverted!Childe, modern AU (college themed), Semi-public (in the library), Dacryphilia, fingering, spanking, punishment, teasing, slapping on the cunt (happens once). Lmk if I missed anything <3

A/n: my horny ass literally was thinking of this while I was in the library for research purposes but anyways. This is very self indulgent and short, pardOn me ughsjdjf. 🏃‍♀️💨 I hope y'all enjoy it regardless!!! Notes and Reblogs are highly appreciated <3 do let me know what y'all think!! Much love~

The gods above may have been holding something against you, there is no other reason to why you were in this situation in the first place. Sly large hands slide under the tiny skirt you're wearing and sending shivers down your spine, only amusing the man beside you as he smirks proudly. His fingers continues to dance as he sat closer to your chair, rubbing circles on your sensitive skin between your thighs, inching ever so closer to your heat, in an agonizing slow pace just to tease you more.

"Come on now, we don't have the whole entire day now do we?" His rather playful voice drops low, only for you to hear in the dead silence of the Library. "Besides..you haven't even finished your homework, tsk. What to do now?" He says, sounding disappointed but deep inside, the blood was already rushing straight to his cock at the meer thought of getting a chance to punish you, specially seeing your eyes looking down all ashamed and tearful. </3

"Punishing you hurts me just as much" his voice sounds sympathetic, no it doesn't, it sets fire on his skin. "But you know I have to, right baby?"

You bite your lip hard enough to almost break skin, fearful of what's to come next. Well, how did all this begin anyway?

To have better context, Your tutor, Childe is your upperclassman and he is nice when he wants to be.

He loves taking you out, spoiling you rotten with trinkets he thinks you'll like or with lacey pieces of lingerie that barely covers any patch of skin of yours. You don't mind, it does excite you. Sending him rather provocative and revealing pictures randomly throughout the day.

Lately though, poor little you haven't been doing so well in your college exams. That's where your personal tutor comes in. You gotta admit, he's a good teacher sure but he's sure got a different method of teaching you. Usually the studying session would begin in the privacy at your or his home, there are certain rules to follow when it comes to your dear tutor Childe. That is,

Rule #1: before anything, you would have to be present in time and have nothing underneath your cute little skimpy skirts or dresses.

Rule #2: you have to be all nice and pretty on his lap, cockwarming his girthy cock inside of you while you do your work. You can not move unless you're told to do so <3

Rule #3: one mistake equals to one spank. For each mistakes, you'll have to just lay on your stomach onto of his thighs while he takes his sweet time slapping your ass all red and swollen, you'll just have to take it. It's your fault afterall~

Rule #4: If you well in the tests he gives you, you'll get called a good girl and long slender fingers will finger you all rough and nice until you cum. Even then, if he's felling generous, you'll get your cute little cunt throbbing and twitching on his tongue, nose bumping on your clit as well as the lewd slurping and licking sounds takes over your blank mind.

That's overall it unless, you do exceptionally terrible on a test, well then. That's just asking for a punishment no?

Which brings us here back to the Library, usually both of you would have these "study sessions" in the comfortable privacy of your home but since you've been so bad lately, he needs to teach you a proper lesson and what else could it be other than public humiliation?

"Oh shush shushh, I haven't even done anything to you" he chuckles, seeing the tears flowing down your face freely and your lips quivering. Suddenly the playful demeanour drops and his stare becomes more intense by the second. "You're lucky there's no one around to hear you." Strong arms forcefully brings you closer towards and spreads you out as far as he can by lifting one of yours thighs on his, gaining better access towards your clothed cunt. Still not being able to shift your eyes elsewhere aside from his, your stomach drops in more fear but also, in a sick sense of lust as he rubs you through your already drenched panties. "You're so dirty~, look at you." he almost sang beside your ear, adrenaline rushing through his veins at the thought of someone seeing the two of you like this, his fingers shoved deep inside stirring up your guts while your pretty little face cries in pleasure and embarrassment. "so so wet already." Letting out a breathy laugh, Childe uses his free hand to grab a hold of your tear-soaked face, "don't tell me..are you purposefully failing to have your little cunt filled by me, sweetheart? Is that it??"

You immediately shook your head side to side, denying his claims but I think it's a little too late for that. "Aww baby, are you crying already?" His thumb along with index and middle fingers began to rub you through your soiled panties ever harder than before, "don't blame me now sweetheart, this is your punishment...~", man was he loving this. He always found you irresistible when crying, something about it makes his cock throb in need. And when your doe like eyes looks up every few seconds later for mercy, he can't help it but drill in his fingers in a much more harsher pace, forgetting everything about his own needs, afterall seeing you like this and feeling the tight cunt wrap around so nicely around his fingers was more than enough for now. <3 the sounds your wet cunt made cause of his fingers were getting loud from how wet you are and you couldn't help but dart your eyes everywhere, praying to the lord above no one passes by the shelves you two were at.

"Wouldn't it be a shame if someone were to see you like this hm??" He questions, laboured breaths leaving his mouth, pupils almost turning into heart shapes as he couldn't even move his eyes away from your wet cunt, squeaking and swallowing up his fingers whenever he insert his fingers again and again, almost leaving a pool of juices on the seat underneath. "Are you close? You're getting tighter" he breathes out, when you don't reply though, tingling sparks of pleasure takes over your body up along with pain as you realized he just smacked your pussy hard, "answer when you're asked something doll, where's your manners?" blown out eyes looking up finally to analyze every expressions your face was making, "s-sorry, I'm sorry yes i-im close" you manage to squeak out, making him smile and he kissed your forehead as a reward, "there's my good girl~" out of the corner of his eye, he could sense someone coming, from the barely audible footsteps. With that realization, he began to curl his fingers and rub your clit harshly, forcing out an orgasm in seconds as he quickly retrieved his hand back from the comfort of your plushy thighs and just watch.

"Oh noo" he mocked a concerned voice, making you snap your head towards the side of the shelves, realizing few students walking up close from the footsteps, "better close your legs angel." he mumbled, resting his face on the palm of his free hand while sucking his fingers clean, relishing on the taste of your cum, never tearing away his eyes off your face as his grin grows wider.

"Don't want others seeing what a nasty slut you are, now do you?"

[inevitably-johnlocked]

hello there! 💜💚 i hope you're well and have enough time for tea, baths and all the other lovely self-care stuff 💚💜

i would like to ask you a question... i feel a bit dumb asking this but... what are the different types of fanfics? like- i know what fluff, angst and smut is. and i know what's an AU, and more or less the concept of omegaverse (i think...)

but when is a ficlet a ficlet? or a oneshot a oneshot? what is a 221b? a drabble? idk if there are more but i guess i just don't really understand the differences between the lengths of them? does this make sense..?

i've been confused about this for a while and can't quite figure it out. if you'd help out i'd very much appreciate it!

ps: please don't be too judgy about me not knowing this *hides*

Hey Nonny!

AWW thanks!! I love tea, baths and lots of self-care, just very bad at giving any of it to myself, haha!

And NONNY, please know that there are NO judgements here at all! PLEASE don't feel bad!! Fandom isn't something you magically know overnight! <3 And it's always okay to ask! <3

Before I answer your question, I highly recommend you peruse the Fanlore Wiki; it's a good place for new people to learn about fandom terms and history, so check it out if you need further clarification, as my answers are based on my understanding of each of the things you're asking about from being in TOO many fandoms for TOO many years, LOL.

I'm not going to go into everything, since fandom is SO huge and there's so much about it that I can't cover it all, hence the link to Fanlore, so here are immediate answers to some of your questions:

Drabble: A fic that's exactly 100 words

A 221b Ficlet: A fanfiction exclusive to the multiple variants of Holmesian fandoms that's exactly 221 words long, and the VERY last word of the fic starts with "b".

Ficlet: A short story, usually under 1,000 words but can be a little more.

Oneshot / vignette: A short, single chapter "scene" fic, essentially a story covering a missing scene or an out-of-context situation. In a similar vein, there's Two-Shots, which is basically a oneshot but from two different perspectives (ie. First chapter is situation from character A's POV, and Chapter 2 is from Character B's situation).

Podfic: An audiobook of a fanfiction. If you prefer to listen to stories, rather than read them, there are a tonne of amazing podficcers recording stories in multiple fandoms.

Five and One (and variations of): A story that depicts "Five times that Character [verb] [insert situation here] and one time [insert contradicting situation here]". It's basically 6 one-shots in a single story that has the last "one time" situation be a feel-good FINALLY ending. Some authors split them up into single chapters per situation, and others write the whole story as a single chapter.

Meta / Metafic: An essay or story based on analysing a piece of media. The Fic version expands upon a theory within a given fandom so that the theory fits into the narrative of the show.

WIP: Acronym for "Work In Progress", which is an unfinished published story. Some authors "write as they post" while others finish multiple chapters prior to posting them, but only post chapters one at a time on a scheduled basis, which keeps people coming back to the story until the end. The latter USUALLY guarantees a full-story inevitably being posted, so it is the more preferred type of WIP.

Short Story: a story under about 10,000 words

Novella: a story between 20 and 50K words

Novel: Anything over 50K words. I think past a certain number (100K?) it becomes an Epic, but I'm not 100 on it. Google says it's a story that spans multiple "books" and time periods, so I'm not sure.

Hope that helps a little bit, Nonny, and PLEASE don't hesitate to ask if you come across some other terms you would like to know from a fandom-old's perspective! We love helping y'all out! <3 NEVER feel dumb, please. There's no shame in asking for help. And if someone made you feel dumb because of it, FUCK 'EM.
