fake marriage

smuttyyyyy ofc so 18+ also a lil toxic

tired asf i’ll do a spelling check tmrw thx for reading!

having a fake marriage was definitely one of the best thing to ever exist especially since i get paid to pretend to love a man who is basically heartless, well to most people he is.

i get to live in a giant penthouse in the city of boston, i get a huge bedroom, with a ensuite plus a balcony, free clothes, mostly everything gets handed to me.

as much i love being in this fake marriage, there are some cons mostly because of matt. i mostly hate hearing him fuck girls in the room next to me, when i can’t do anything like that, he’s very protective of me, he gets jealous very easily, he doesn’t really let me talk to any male being while he’s with me. he punishes me by not paying me that week which doesn’t really effect me, the amount of money i’ve made since this marriage is insane, it would take me months to run through it. but in matt’s eyes he’s somehow “punishing me.”

tonight was a black-tie event for one of his many company’s. he got me a vintage chanel dress from the 90s. it was the most beautiful dress i’ve ever laid my eyes on, i knew the price of the dress would be nothing to him, he just wantedme to look good standing beside him.

“ready?” matt asked while fixing his cufflinks on his wrist. “yeah, i just need to get my heels on.” i grabbed my silver heels from my collection of different types of heels.

“the cars outside y/n.” he looked me up and down. “fuck, can you grab my bag?” i asked slipping myheels on. he rolled his eyes and grabbed my bag off my vanity. “thank you.” i took my small clutch from his hands and made my way to the elevator.

“behave tonight,” matt whispered in my ear before placing his hand around my waist, smiling for the cameras. “i always do.” i say through my teeth. “we’ll see about that love.” he pressed a light kiss to my cheek.

everything is for the cameras and i mean that. the touching, the kissing, theres no contact between us at home. before today i hadn’t spoken to matt in probably 3 days. not that he would talk to me anyway. he only talks to his parents, his 2 brothers, the maids who clean the house(mostly flirting) and the girls he fucks in the guest bedroom, matt would never dare to fuck a girl in his own bed, he’s really weird about that type of thing, he hates when anyone goes into his room well everyone but the maids, as i said he flirts with them a lot, just to make them blush, it boosts his already massive ego. after i come home from picking up some groceries up or going to visit my friends, i hear him making up some story of how he saved an animal or how much money he gives to charity which i know he does. but he hates people, hates them other than the couple people he talks to.

mine and matt’s hands were interlinked as we walked into the building.

“how long have you guys been married?” the older women infront of us asked. i looked up at matt before speaking, “well me and matt have been together 3 years, married for 1,” i gave a fake smile to the women. “that’s just so beautiful!” she chimed. matt gave the women a small smile. “wait!” “what about kids, do you have kids?” matt’s let go of my hand and put the hand i just holding around my waist. i cleared my through before awkwardly laughing. “no, no,” “not as of right now,” i smiled. “maybe soon,” matt finally spoke. “oh really!” she exclaimed. “yes matt really!” i looked up at him, he looked down at me before looking back at the women. “maybe not soon, but in the future.” he licked his lips. “wonderful!” “it was nice talking to your mr and mrs sturniolo, i’m going to find my husband he wanders off!” she laughed. “you too.” matt gave her a straight lined smile. “bye.” i smiled.

me and matt watched her walk away. “fuck,” he took a deep breath. “having kids soon are we?” i turned to him. he moved both his hands around my waist as he looked down at me. “only said that for people to have something to talk about,” i could feel his warm hands through my dress. “it’s crazy how such a cold hearted person can make something up like that,” i teased him. he looked away from me, chuckled before looking back at me again. “you look good.” he licked his teeth. “yeah you too.” i touched his right bicep.

“thank you everyone for coming tonight,” matt awkwardly had his hand in his pocket as he gave a speech. “i would like to thank my team and my wife,” “thanks.” he awkwardly put his drink up in the air before taking a sip.

the room was filled with people loudly clapping.

“what’s wrong?” matt asked as he came down by from the stage. “my feet hurt.” i whined. “y/n baby, i didn’t marry you to whine about your feet come on let’s get a drink.” he put his hand on my back and guided me towards the bar.

“what would you guys like?” the bartender asked. “scotch on the rocks,” “y/n?” matt asked. i looked at the bartender. he smiled at me. i gave him back a small smile. i cleared my throat. “i’ll have a-” “she’ll have a glass of white wine,” matt interrupted me. “alright, that’ll be coming straight up,” he looked at me. “are you trying to piss me off?” he leaned down and whispered into my ear. “no,” i gulped. “you were flirting with that guy,” “matt i just smiled.” “we’re going home, come on.” he grabbed my hand.

the car ride was silent. matt was on his phone making the back of the SUV slightly light up. i looked out the window, mostly trying to notfall asleep.

matt pressed the button for the elevator. he stood there my heels in his hand while looking down at the marbled floor on the lobby floor.

the elevator opened, no one inside. we both walked in. matt pressed the number for our apartment before leaning his head against the wall behind him, closing his eyes. he looked so sexy, his jawline was sharp as fuck, his long hair falling over his eyes and his tie wrapped around his shoulders, he took it off when we got in the car. i pressed the emergency button making the elevator immediately stop. matt’s eyes darted open. he looked at me.

“why’d you stop the elevator y/n?” he groaned. “why are you so overly protective with me matt?” “you know i don’t flirt with guys especially in front of you, you love to make shit up did you see me flirt with that bartender?” “i simply smiled at him as a nice human does,” i crossed my arms. matt rolled his eyes. “what would you like to pretend that i don’t care?” “y/n, you think i care about who you flirt with?” “i actually couldn’t care fucking less, i just you know like to make this marriage look a little bit realistic,” he leaned over and re-pressed over apartment floor button. the elevator began moving again. “this marriage would be a little realistic when i have people over for you to not be fucking some girl,” i looked down at my nails. “what’d say?” “you heard me loud and clear,” the elevator doors opened. “thanks for holding my heels baby.” i grabbed the heels from his hand and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek just to piss him off even more.

i made my way to my room before matt grabbed my arm turning me around. “who do you think you are?” matt asked. i shrugged my shoulders before turning back around. “y/n!” matt yelled, pulling me back and pressing me against the wall beside us. “come on baby, tell me,” matt roughly held my waist. “i’m your wife matt,” i looked up at him. “your my wife y/n and i would like if you actually listened to me when i talked to you,” his grip on my hips became softer. “i’m sorry, i promise i’ll listen better next time daddy,” i batted my eyelashes. his eyes rolled into the back of my head. “i’m going to bed.” he backed away from me. “sweet dreams husband.”

after the little scene matt made, i changed out of my dress and walked into the kitchen to find a snack to eat.

i sat myself down at the kitchen island, a bowl of ice cream in front of me, my phone in my left hand, the spoon in my right. i had been thinking of eating this ice cream all day and now i finallygot a chance.

i was nearly half way through the bowl before shirtless matt walked into the kitchen, he had those plaid pj pants he loved with of course the waist band of his boxers sticking out. i rolled my eyes before focusing back onto the ice cream. i could hear matt open the fridge. i quickly looked at his back. it was so defined, his tattoos making it way hotter that it actually had to be.

“do we have any spare batteries anywhere?” i spoke. matt turned around, opened-water bottle in his hand. “why?” he asked. “for my vibarator,” i popped the spoon into my mouth. matt choked on his water. “do you know?” i asked. he cleared his throat. “yeah, there’s some in the uh-in my office on my desk.” he swallowed. “okay thanks!” i cheekily smiled. matt mumbled something i couldn’t make out before walking back to his room.

i opened matt’s office door to find him sitting on one of the couch’s controller in his hand playing his playstation. hm coincidence.

“sorry i just need to grab those batteries,” i walked past him and looked around his desk. i couldn’t see them. “matt where are they?” i turned around and looked at him. “they should be there,” he said not taking his eyes off the tv. i rolled mine while looking back down at the desk. “matt it’s an empty packet,” i held it up. he finally looked at me.“oh shit yeah- i was just being a nice husband, i already put the batteries in for you there sweetheart,” he flashed me a smile before looking back at the tv. i stomped over right infront of him. “i can’t see the tv princess,” “pause it then,” i bit the inside of my cheek. he paused it, placing the controller beside him. “you went through my stuff?” “you held my viborator!” “yeah, it was a nice one,” he smirked at me. “what the fuck!” “your insane!” i yelled. “eh,” “i’m not that bad love.” he opened his legs, man spreading.

i exhaled. “why would you think that would be a good idea?” i put a hand through my hair. “it was a nice gesture, don’t you think?” he poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue. i groaned. “it’s fucking weird!” “your not even my real husband!” “well if this makes you feel any better i did it so it would make the marriage more realistic,” he titled his head at me. “don’t bring that shit back up matt!” i whimpered.

“come on, it’s okay,” matt pulled himself more towards me. he placed his hands on my waist while looking up at me. “matt what are you doing?” i groaned. “it’s okay.” he pressed his warms lips against my stomach. i slowly closed my eyes. his lips stayed on my stomach while he slipped a finger up my shorts and into my underwear. he slid his finger into my soaking core. i let out a moan. he moved his finger inside me. after a few seconds his finger left me. i opened my eyes. his finger in his mouth. “oh fuck, you taste good,” he moaned. “let me eat you out,” he pulled me by the waistband of my shorts towards him making me fall down onto his lap. i quickly felt how hard he was underneath me. “lay there,” he said moving the controller onto the coffee table in front of us. i nodded my head. i layed myself down. matt licked his lips before pulling my shorts and underwear off. he placed himself between my legs. he was quick to slowly suck my clit. i cried out. “all you do is touch yourself y/n, i bet your dying for this,” matt groaned against me. he slipped his tongue into my licking up all my juices like it’s the best thing he’s every tasted. my hands were pulling onto his hair while parting my mouth open in pleasure. “ma-matt!” i cried out. “nearly there baby?” he pulled away from me making his warm breath hit off the pool he was between. “mhm.” i mumbled.

matt gave me one long stride between my folds before pulling away from me. i opened my eyes and whined. i was on the edge of coming. “i wanna fuck you,” matt said feeling his hard on through his pants. “okay-okay.” i breathed out. “not here, in my room.”

matt placed me down onto his bed, his lips softly meeting mine. we’ve kissed before around people but not alone, it felt so much more different this time.

“you on the pill?” he asked pulling his boxers down. i nodded my head. “i’m gonna fuck you without a condom cause to be fair, i don’t really care if i get you pregnant, your my wife after all.”

matt was inside me, not moving. i was trying to adjust his size. “you can do it, i know you can, matt whispered into my ear. “mhm,” i mumbled. he started to move inside me slowly but then started to pick it up. his arm was hovering over me, grabbing the headboard for support “fuckkkkkkk,” he moaned. “y/n, i’m gonna fuck you until the sun rises okay?” he grunted. “y-yeah.” i let out. “such a girl good for me.” he placed a kiss to my lips. his necklace that had a horse pendant was dangling over me, i got him it for his birthday that he claimed to only wear when we have to put our act on but he wears it all time.

i clenched around matt for like the 4th time in the last 2 and half hours.

matt dropped himself down beside me. “it gets better every fucking time y/n i swear.” matt said before sucking a nipple into his mouth. “mhm, i know baby.” i closed my eyes and put a hand through his hair and down his neck.

he popped my nipple out of his mouth before looking up at me. “you wanna order food, we can fuck inbetween don’t worry, i just hungry as fuck when i have sex,” he leaned his chin between the gaps my boobs. “yeah i could eat something i’m starving,” i ran my hand over his cheek. “your choice to pick.” he said before kissing my lips and getting up to throw his pj pants back on. i looked up at him sprawled out on his bed, naked. “am i the only girl you’ve had in this bed?” i asked. “pretty much,” he grabbed his t-shirt from the ground. “i feel special,” i grinned. he jokingly rolled his eyes. “don’t worry, not gonna happen again,” “that’s what you say until you hear me moan your name while my vibartor is between my thighs,” i sat up. “you think of me?” he chuckled. i nodded my head. “my wife actually thinks of me while masturbating, im a lucky man.”

“yeah, no more sex.” i spoke before rolling my eyes.

You Spin Me Round

Summary: Steven has a crush on the vinyl record shop owner. 

Warnings: Nothing that I actually know of. Steven being a bit of a simp /light hearted. 

Author’s Snip: Had this thought since I've been collecting and listening to vinyls.

Notes: This was not proof-read so if theres any errors then that's why 

I’ll shut up now. Enjoy! And don’t be afraid to request.

꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦

At first, it was genuine. The recent dozen times he's been here. It was just for you.

Steven fancied himself some vinyls. It adds to the whole vintage-things-in-the-attic feel that he had to his flat. Not to mention that vinyls are just fun in general. He had a collection going but it was still pretty small compared to most and would like to add to it.

He'd usually get his at a regular store that sold newer copies, but he found that most were by modern artists while he enjoyed older music, and also the store he usually bought from was being renovated, painfully slow. It was at that point that Steven thought of maybe looking for an actual vinyl and record store for the more authentic feel. That's how he managed to find your little store and business.

You were settled in the down town area in one of those storefront apartment buildings. It was a bit squished with the more larger buildings that you were between but it gave your shop a little cozy nook feeling. There was a large front window facing the street that read the name of the store in window paint with a nice design and penmanship. A changeable sign that displayed when you were opened or closed and the work hours. The door had a little bell that would cute little jingle sound when opened.

The inside was lovely too. You had a scent diffuser that gave the whole place a nice smell but didn't over power anything. You had a few racks that held all of your products with of course consisted of mostly vinyl records, both new, thrifted, and vintage, but there were also other things like portable record players, record needles, and cover protectors.

And then of course there was you. Steven wouldn't say he got hit by love at first sight, but he defiantly fell hard on his face pretty quickly. You were so polite, with your warm smile and telling him how to find any specific things that he might be looking for.

"The vinyls are in alphabetical order via artist. Thrift is here, new arrivals are there, and supplies are down there. And if you need something don't be afraid to ask!".

He actually talked to you the very first time he came, despite him usually having issues talking to new people, but he manage to find it in himself to strike up some nice conversation. He found out that this little business of yours new and that you're just starting to be known around town.

Steven managed to leave with a few new vinyls, and a free sticker or two since he's a new comer, and a big fat crush on you.

He didn't really want to admit to himself that he liked the cute little record shop owner, he just liked the feeling your place had's all. But every time he came the warm fuzzy feeling just got stronger and he would always find out something new about you like your favorite music genre, artists, and bands, your other interests and hobbies. All that. Not to mention that every time he came he'd find a way to buy something so that he could be close to you. He bought a vintage B-52's vinyl, which wasn't too out of place for him. Steven definitely liked and heard a few of their songs.

But another time he bought a Nirvana sticker from you. Steven doesn't listen to Nirvana. He doesn't need a Nirvana sticker. The only song he can name is Smells Like Teen Spirit and he only knows the first couple of seconds. Where is he meant to put the sticker?

"I'm just helping a small business." is what Steven always tells himself when he buys something he didn't really need at all from you.

Steven just denied his crush every time. But it wasn't until he started listening to your favorite band while he was at his flat. Your favorite band, which wasn't in any of the same genres as Steven's favorite bands and singers. Not at all. That's when he knew. He had it so bad.

Tips on how to find cute vintage clothes

•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•

this post is inspired by a tiktok from @blackhairedbrat go watch it and show it love!!

Knowing your tastes:

theres so many things to look into when it comes to vintage clothes. obvi, u wanna start with what period of time u aspire to dress like. late 90s, early 2000s, mid 80s, 50s-60s, 2010s (not really vintage but its definitely making a comeback). also knowing what styles looked like during those times in different countries can definitely broaden ur horizons. examples like japan during the 90s, central europe in the 2000s, and the U.S. in the 70s can definitely open u to new things u didn't know u are into. pick and choose stuff, make it ur own, its all up to u on what ur signature look is!

once u settled on a time period(s), research into the fashion scenes. there are many sub-genres of fashion back in the day that translate into the aesthetics we know today, such as goth, preppy, grunge, mcbling, futuristic, and many more. go with whatever fits ur personality or even a version of urself u always wanted to be. see whats compatible with your proportions; what u wanna accentuate and minimize, the materials of clothes and colors, the makeup, any and all of it!

once u got all ur shit figured out, make a mood board, follow some brands that were popular during that time, and start curating your closet. get rid of anything that u don't really wear anymore or that u feel doesn't suit ur vision.

Where to look:

thrift stores like savers, salvation army, goodwill, etc.

online shops (depop, grailed, etsy, poshmark)

shop locally (go to pop up shops/flea markets, follow people on instagram that sells secondhand, use related tags to find users, etc.)

ask for hand me downs from relatives, friends, literally anyone who u know had pieces from the desired era u wanna dress like

malls! the more run down the better! look for stores that are reminiscent of clothes u want.

small businesses that garner towards a certain aesthetic!

Other helpful tips:

FIND ALTERNATIVES! nothing is ever ideal. beggers can't be choosers right?

when leaning into more of the punk/alternative stuff, DIY it to make it more authentic. i do it all the time its fun!

trading. (sorta tied to both the online shops and locally shop points previously) surprisingly, people will trade their stuff as long as u have something equally as good or valuable. just gotta look at the right places on the internet and stay safe.

↶*ೃ✧˚. ❃ ↷ ˊ-↶*ೃ✧˚. ❃ ↷ ˊ-↶*ೃ✧˚. ❃ ↷ ˊ-↶*ೃ✧˚. ❃ ↷ ˊ-↶*ೃ✧˚. ❃ ↷

Have fun and don't get scammed, u fashion icon!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Hey, this is Scotty, mind picking up Daniel? He’s had a little too much to drink. Thanks a lot mate.”

“Yeah sure, no problem. Be there in 10 alright?” You said, sighing. This wasn’t the first time you had to pick him up after he’s gotten too much to drink after one of those girlfriends of his breaks up with him. It always end like this, you thought. It hurt you to see him like this, but you could only do so much, to him you were probably at most a best friend.

Getting into your corvette, you turned on the radio and mindlessly drove till' you reached the bar.

"Where could he possibly be-" you mumbled to yourself, eyes scanning the bar before your eyes landed on a very drunk Daniel and a semi-sober Scotty who was probably going to be drunk before you knew it too.

Walking over and trying your best not to get trampled over alive was definitely tough but you made it, not even noticing that you were holding your breath until you made it to the dance floor, finally taking. a breath of the air in the bar - which quite literally smelt like alcohol and sweat. Cringing at the thought, you were snapped out of your headspace when you heard Daniel slurring something from the other side of the dance floor.

Once you came over to him you could heard him mumbling almost incoherent words to you "you’re so pretty tonight, you know i have a best friend that looks like you, i love her a lot-" placing a finger on his mouth, you shushed him, knowing that he was most probably still too drunk to understand what he was saying, or maybe he meant it as a friend you thought.

Slinging an arm over his shoulder - you somehow managed to drag him back to your car where you buckled your seatbelt before you buckled his. Surprisingly, he could still have the energy to be dancing to the radio in the car which played a variety of modern and vintage tracks.

Reaching your apartment, you had to drag him out of the car before locking it with a press of a button on the car keys which you then slipped back into your pocket.

Tapping your keycard on the lock, you giggled slightly at how he was fidgeting with the Disney keychains that he got you when you travelled with him to japan for his grand-prix. During all these moments of having to pick him up, you've also seemed to noticed that he was clingy when he was drunk, constantly hugging or holding onto you like a baby koala - which you found cute but it kind of hurt at the same time since you knew it was not really sincere as he was just drunk and it was probably all in your mind.

Stepping into your apartment, you took off your coat before changing into a sweater which happened to be gifted by him as you wanted to promote his merchandise - and a pair of silk pyjama shorts, before stepping out of the bathroom so he could change into the spare clothes you had for him in your closet as you assumed that he had sobered up a bit during the ride.

"Hey, theres only one bed. I'll sleep on the couch if you’re not comfortable," you said "Or if you’re alright with it we can share the bed, i'll put a pillow between us."

"We can share, I'm sure you can control yourself right?" he said words still slurring before laughing, face still slightly red from the booze. Feeling your face heat up from the joke, you shook it off and laid in the bed facing the opposite side - where he then joined you shortly after.

"Goodnight sweets, love you." he said. "Goodnight Daniel." you replied, not think much of it, you shouldn’t say things you don’t mean anyways, you thought.

(next morning)

You had woken up early to find that the pillow that had been separating the both of you had been thrown onto the wooden flooring through the night, and with that, you found yourself in the arms of someone you wished belonged to you. Gosh. - you thought to yourself, he's like a human heater. Nice and toasty. Before you were once again snapped out of your train of thoughts by the soft sounds of your stomach rumbling.

Quietly getting out of bed, you replaced what was once your body, into the pillow that had been thrown onto the floor - being careful to not wake him up. You then made your way to the kitchen where you then took out some eggs and toast, trying your best to stay as quiet as possible - eating your breakfast quietly while you placed his on the counter in order for it to cool down.

Washing the dishes, you didn’t even notice his presence until he laid his head on your shoulder, despite it being common for him to do this when he stayed over at your apartment - you couldn’t help but get flustered at his actions. Cheesy it may sound- but there was not a single lie in what you thought.

“Good morning, sweets.” Voice still raw and rough, just how you liked it. (Might be pun- intended) not to mention the nickname, it was what he always called you since high school due to your sweet tooth.

“Morning, Danny. Breakfast is on the counter, enjoy it while it’s still warm - Advil is placed with your glass of water near the orange juice if you need it.” You said while using a towel to dry the dishes while he took the Advil and his breakfast.

After breakfast, he sat at the couch where you joined him shortly after putting the dishes on the rack.

Arm slinked around your shoulder, the both of you watched the television till’ he popped up the question.

“You know I meant it when I loved you last night, right?” He said, eyes looking directly into yours almost as if it was desperate for something - which you desperately hoped that it was what you were what you were thinking of. The both of you. Us.

“Don’t say things you don’t mean Daniel, we both know you were as drunk as a bard.” You replied, shaking your head as you got up from the couch - breath hitching and tears threatening to spill.

“I really mean it, I’m sober now aren’t I? So why won’t you believe me?” He said, tone slightly rising out of frustration.

“Because I don’t want to end up like your other girlfriends! Either way even if it works out we’ll both leave each other, and I’ll get hurt, we’ll both get hurt- my heart can’t handle it, I love you too but I don’t think I can handle getting hurt from someone I love. And definitely not you.” Tears are running down your cheeks at this moment, all the built-up emotions are now crumbling down as you slowly fell onto your carpet.

“I won’t hurt you I promise. Please, just give me a chance. I’ll do anything. I’ve loved you since highschool but I’ve never done anything about it either, I was also scared. Scared of you liking someone else - I mean I’ve seen you with max and you guys are always laughing and having fun together. But I’ll give up everything for you. Please, one chance is all I’m asking for.” He said, holding your arms to prevent you from crashing onto the floor.

You’ve thought about it for a few minutes, sobbing in between. What if it doesn’t work out? What if you don’t even stay as friends if it doesn’t work out? The possibilities were endless, but a small part of you was yearning and willing to try. Just maybe the term ‘us’ could be a thing between the both of you.

Nodding slowly, you allowed yourself to be embraced by him, holding on tightly, feeling as if a ton of bricks had been removed off of your shoulders. Crying joyful tears, you looked up into his eyes where he wiped away your tears with his thumb and kissed your forehead before kissing your lips tenderly - but also with growing passion. Kissing back, wrapped your arms around his neck.

“I’ve never loved Max silly, I like him as a friend but it’ll never go further than that.” You said once both of you pulled away.

He nodded, pressing his forehead against yours. Then the both of you sat down back on the couch where you spent the rest of the morning cuddling and talking about date ideas. Maybe there was hope between the both of you after all.

Mere seconds before boarding is announced at the airport, Satoru's phone buzzes with a text.

[ OK. You have a change of clothes here. ]

There's a picture attached. It's a fridge with its door held open, the shelves inside stacked with cans of melon and strawberry flavored soda. A cheesecake can be seen in the back, too simple to be store bought. Painted fingernails are barely visible in the corner. A few minutes later, a second message arrives.

[ ♡( ◡‿◡ ) ]

Despite not having been an overnight mission in Okinawa, Satoru's carry-on luggage was packed to bursting. He'd made the most of his hours on the island he'd had available, finishing his mission at record speeds before hitting the streets.

The look he'd gotten going through security had been quite something; half his luggage was crammed full of freshly picked kunebo mandarins. The other half was a fight between a styrofoam-packed bottle of vintage Awamori, a sealed container oozing with cursed energy, and the half-empty box of Kippan he was planning to finish on the plane ride back. He was quite pleased with how much he had managed to accomplish; If the impromptu mission was going to cut precious hours into his and Suguru's time, he'd been determined not to go home empty-handed.

Satoru had texted Suguru the instant he'd jumped onto a couch in the VIP lounge, laying back with his feet on the upholstery, unaware of the dirty look shot his way by the cleaning staff working just on the other side of the room.

The reply he shoots back at Suguru's message is almost instantaneous, as if he'd just been staring at the messaging app the whole time. Which he definitely was, minimized to half the screen as he scrolled social media.

[ yay ] [ ! ] [ i'll see u soon then ] [ <attached image of a cat meme> ] [ <attached image of the ocean waters of okinawa> ] [ we should come here ] [ <attached image of a selfie. it looks like he's up in a tree, sweating through his shirt from the heat> ] [ but during winter ]

The boarding call sounds, and he heads out with his luggage in one hand and his phone in the other, smoothly continuing to text with a single thumb.

[ its way too hot rn ] [ the fruit is rlly good tho ] [ theres some nice remote spots on the outer islands ] [ <attached image of a meme> ] [ <attached image of a meme> ] [ and the seafood!!! ] [ <attached image of a big plate of sashimi> ] [ we could catch our own fish ] [ some umibudo and grouper and ] [ urchin would be amazing ]

He smiled as Suguru responded with the simple emoticon.

I love love love concept art, do you have any scrapped drafts or concept art of the designs in Affinity? :3c I love what you've posted but always wonder if there were other designs that didn't make the cut

YES!!! affinity is an OLD story that was completely rewritten in 2020! the story itself has existed since 2015!

here's some OLLDDD sinie concept art!

believe it or not #1 was the very first design i went with. but i was like hm lemme actually try different hairstyles so i ended up LOVING the big curls and built off of that! :D

i was watching steven universe in its prime at the time of developing this story in its early years, so i was deciding an outfit for her. i ended up rly liking the silk pajamas, but never ended up going with it cause she never had a Set outfit.

this was actually gonna be her costellan outfit back when she traversed dimensions to costella. this was an isekai at first yeah LMAO (also i doodled this for a thing of 'what if sinie had straightened her hair' and yeah this is still canon)

this is also the very first concept art of sinie cutting her hair!

also this that i doodled back in 2018??? i was playing around with some creatures which honestly now that i can draw hooved beasts better (LOL) i might adjust Dasos' design to give him something like this. very botw/ghibli esque which was definitely the inspriation

here's some super early art of csilla too!

some of my fav vintage art of sinie and csilla actually <3

also i DO wanna show off some gods concept art stuff!

EARLYYY EARLY concept art of when they were all sisters. there was still pretty much a hierarchy of ceres and atheria being the most powerful goddesses among the four, but in the rewrite, aka the current version of affinity, asmund is not a goddess, but rather an ancient witch that has survived the genocide of her people and is on the side of sinie and csilla. while demetria is the complete opposite, she is a goddess, the goddess of chaos in fact, but she is working for ceres to revive atheria, essentially this would kill sinie and csilla. they wouldnt be erased from existence, they would just no longer exist in a world that has already been touched by their essence. that is death.

among the sisters were their parents, synthaya (a name u will see again) and daimon, the king and queen of the gods that had a super tragic story that i could never decide on. they definitely died.

theres also this from 2017. i shit u not i saw this woman in a dream and i was like i Need her in affinity, and this dream woman was the very first design for "gaia" aka current atheria :3

ANYWAY this post is so long already im sorry i just have TONS of concept art!!! thank u for asking! <3

[angelhairpastawithherbs]

i love fixing things up however i would also sometimes like to have a kind of ray gun that would magically tell me if something is a stain or permanent discoloration because that would save a lot of time on mindlessly scrubbing with several different products, and only for that specifically because theres no other way to tell especially on vintage plastic like im used to working with

so anyways

while the thing was definitely cream before, its nowhere near that anymore not because of anything specific, only because its sixty year old plastic, so you know, it does that, and because of that, its very splotchy, so the only ways to get it to the original color would either be bleaching which i can not in good conscience do, or painting it, i tried dawn platinum and a mister clean sponge and neither got it much lighter, normally i would soak it but because of the age and since it has metal pieces i cant so i will just wait for now and think because if i do paint it then might as well go a bit wild but eh

[lunadragongem]

Here's my take and reasons for each!

OTPs

Ship 1: chaggie

Their bond and love for eachother fills my heart every single time I see them. Aside from being canon, their devotion for one another just makes me smile so much!!

Ship 2: huskerdust

They are probably the definition of a slowburn. Both have issues that are so similar and yet so different from one another. They relate to eachother in a very unique way which I didnt expect from them but adore.

Ship 3: cherrisnake

I didn't really understand the appeal at first but then as the story progressed I realized the potential and perfection of it. Would die for them 100%.

I like it

Ship 1: radiorose

While I still dont see alastor being in a relationship with anyone, him and rosie are probably the closest thing to a relationship I can see happening. Two vintage cannibals enjoying time with each other <3 in my mind its either a platonic relationship or a somewhat romantic but not sexual relationship.

Ship 2: lucilith

Their relationship is by far the most unique one in my opinion. Lilith and Lucifer had fallen deeply in love with one another, so what happened? What's the story behind their split? It's clear that lilith is hiding something and Lucifer still loves her. Is it possible that they get back together and reignite that spark? Will any of these questions be answered? Idk but it's still pretty neat.

Ship 3: charemaggie

While I cant see Emily being in a relationship with just either Charlie or vaggie, I think theres a lot of potential when it's the 3 of them together. Emily and Charlie are rather similar, making it pretty clear for Vaggie's love. And vaggie is a devoted lover, which makes it clear for emily and Charlie. Charlie and emily already have a spark as both being optimistic and understanding people. I think it would be very cute <3

Its good

Ship 1: guitarspear

It's so unexpected and I still dont quite see it, but I find it very interesting that lute cried for Adam's death. And Adam to have a strange expression upon seeing lute as he dies. I think their dynamic is very interesting and has a lot of potential to explain not only their bond but also their influence in heaven and heaven's ideals.

Ship 2: staticmoth

I'm not a big fan of this ship but I can understand the appeal of it. Theres definitely some hidden secrets with the Vees that havent been revealed yet and could potentially explain more about what their truly up to.

Dont like

Ship 1: alastor with pretty much everyone

Alastor is confirmed as being at least asexual. Aside from a very slim relationship with rosie, I dont see it working out with anyone. Of course he has that rivalry with vox and whatever tf husk and alastor's deal was, but aside from the dynamics pov, doesnt do anything for me

Ship 2: cherridust

I just see them as being best friends honestly. I dont see them in a romantic or sexual relationship. Their dynamic is great and all but to me its just platonic. I didnt consider cherri and arakniss, arakniss and pentious or Cherri, pentious, and arakniss being together back during the pilot days.

Ship 3: guitarapple

Lucifer and adam definitely have a strange dynamic considering adam is lilith's ex-wife and has beef with Lucifer...but I just cant see it. It doesnt make much sense to me. Of course the potential and drama of it is still pretty cool, but personally I dont like.

Saw a few people fill out their shipping charts so i did one of mine

[xanfeursel]

heard you were bored so here are some questions :) (i realized halfway through that these are all durgetash because those little shits have taken over my mind) do you like leaning into the angst of durgetash or do you prefer the more lighthearted (aside from the atrocities) dynamic? if larian dropped a gortash romance, is there any icks that would absolutely ruin it for you?

or conversely, what would be the best thing they could add in a hypothetical gortash route?

what were your biggest inspirations for lophi and vyper? do you prefer one over the other or are they equal in your eyes?

(hopefully you won't have to answer these since you'll get out of work soon)

HELLO ANON. im sorry to tell you infact waited till i actually got home to answer these because i have!!! THOUGHTS and OPINIONS about the questions asked . thank you very much btw these are all really good questions ill have fun answering

FIRSTLY, it all depends on the kind of durge gortash is being paired w imo. with vyper i tend to lean more into These Two Are Fucking Insane while w/ lophi i lean more into the sort of melancholic 'angsty' side of durgetash that i think can be real yummy too. and it's all because of who vyper and lophi are as characters pre-tadpole, too. vyper liked being a loud insane freakus while lophi was a lot more reserved and kind of a miserable mess, and that informs their relationships w/ the characters around them. i think both are good and fun to explore and i definitely like exploring the more angsty side w vyper x gortash and vice versa w lophi x gortash, so. i guess both. really. LOL .

secondly, going to answer both of the gort romance related questions in one, but i think i'm probably in the unpopular opinion that gortash doesn't really neeeeeeeed a romance and i could go without it in game. i do think he deserves more content and screentime, but that's something i can say about orin also, and frankly a Lot of parts of act 3. me and act 3 have a toxic on/off again relationship. alright.

that being *said*, if i was mr larian and i was to implement a gortash romance, i'd have it be something exclusive to a durge/evil run. or at the very least, have it have consequences with your party (i.e karlach leaving or something. love gort but i do not think you should go off romancing him scott free).

i Do think having it be exclusive to a more evil-aligned run would help add more actual content to doing an evil run (and god knows we need some with how bg3 seems to like punishing people who just want to do the evil options They Gave You) and would make the most sense, but all in all i'd just hope it's handled better than the mizora sex scene cause god how that whole thing is handled still pisses me off. hopefully this all makes sense

tl;dr, its a fun idea but i can very easily go without it especially knowing how the game treated its one other antagonist romance option

now for the lophi and vyper question... i do obviously have my biases towards vyper /looks at my blog theme/, but i genuienlly cannot pick favourites with them besides that... i use them both to explore different aspects of the durge origin in different ways bc despite what some other people say i Do think you can be very flexible w durge as a concept despite the pre-established lore for them ^_^ and i think it's very fun to play around with.

as for specific inspirations, lophi takes a lot of insp from vintage pierrot art + has accidentally gotten a very 1920s makeup vibe in My Mind. i should also note her name comes from the scientific name for anglerfish, cuz thats what i had in mind when giving her those freaky sharp ass teeth i always draw her with

and while of course, both of my durges are trans, lophi specifically was birthed from my want to make a dark urge that leans in as heavily as she possibly could in the whole trans allegory thing. so theres that as well!

vyper's specific inspos are harder for me to pinpoint cause he's much more of a 'made up as i went' character than lophi, given he was my First dark urge and i didnt really fully know what i was going into all this yet while making him (and also i was maybe a little bit high while doing so...lol) THAT SAID THOUGH, i did initially make him with akira fudo from devilman in mind. he has the horn style he does because it reminded me of devilman ... although the akira insp is very lose and barely effects his character now.. ~_~ despite bg3 being my main fixation atm devilman is still a very very important piece of media to me so vyper being loosely akira-pilled is not too surprising if you know me well enough lololol

Sustainable Fashion

Sustainable fashion is a term thats used over and over and over again in the fashion industry. It's something that brands, big and small, are now trying to achieve.

But what does it actually mean?

Sustainable fashion is clothing and accessories created and consumed in a way that literally can be sustained, while protecting the environment and ensuring those producing the garments have safe working conditions and fair wages.

What is sustainability?

Sustainability is fulfilling the needs of the current generations without compromising the needs of future generations, while ensuring a balance between economic growth, environmental care and social well-being.

How to be sustainable in the fashion industry

Invest in sustainable fashion brands - Support designers who are promoting sustainable practices. Do they use up-cycled textiles in their designs?

Buy less and buy better - Before making a purchase, think about the quality, will it last a long time? why're u buying this? do you really need it? will you wear it?

Shop second hand and vintage - No matter where you go, theres always a vintage shop, charity shop, theres now online ways to buy second hand and vintage clothing such as depop and vinted. have a look on these before buying something brand new.

Avoid greenwashing - look beyond the "sustainable", "ecofriendly" buzzwords. brands can sometimes use vague and misleading or false claims to suggest they're more sustainable that it actually is.

Know your materials - Avoid virgin synthetics such as polyester, these are found through fossil fules and take years to break down. Not all materials are made the same. For example, organic cotton.

Support brands who have positive impact - Eco-minded brands are starting to consider how fashion can have positive impacts on the environments rather than reducing its impact.

Watch for harmful chemicals - Hidden chemicals used to treat our clothes can seriously harm local water ways and also the garment workers.

Reduce water footprint - The production of textiles uses 93 billion cubic metres of water annually. organic cotton uses significantly less water than conventional cotton, while the use of low-water dyes also reduce water consumption.

Take care of your clothes - Taking care of your clothes means the quality is better for longer and they can be used more often for longer periods of times. Jackets and coats for example, can last weeks and even months longer when taken care of, it also means you're saving money.

Ensure they have a second life - How many of your clothes go to a dump site when you clear out your wardrobe? do you know where they're going? Try selling unwanted clothing on online websites such as depop and vinted. Or give them away to charities, let someone else buy and use your unwanted clothes.

[kirazdaha]

GAHHH Thank you this was more than I expected!! I appreciate the genuineness :) I've been very harsh on myself but lately I'm able to draw something I like or that makes me happy compared to three years ago, I'd call that a improvement. It's nice to hear I'm not the only one who struggles through these! Every artist has their ups and downs be it their hobby or their job. Thank you for talking with me!! I was worried the amount of asks were clogging your blog LOL I don't know your timezone so I hope you're having a nice breakfast lunch dinner this is a reminder for everyone to eat

On another topic I listened to every artist you listed! I love women. Love every turkish woman out there with a strong voice. I'm glad you listed them I was listening to each of them the whole day while drawing, I missed turkish songs in general 😭 There's something about them I can't put into words. Modern turkish songs lack the instruments and emotions (?) the old ones have. It feels so dull and lifeless and a lot of the times they're another recycle of 50 other pop songs ever. I think kusura bakma is great I can't believe it doesn't have the same recognition the others have? I've heard her songs in movies before! Those vintage turkish movies about love or tragedy (probably) I suggest you watch them! I don't know if they have English subtitles though, otherwise they're neat

YESSS!!!! thats good!!!! also omg dont worry at all, i enjoy answering your asks! whats the point of a blog if i wouldnt be comfortable posting something on it :) LOL also good timing, you caught me right during dinner omg im so glad to hear that!!! that sounds like a dream. good music can help with art soooo much and i wish i was drawing rn too! also i definitely agree omg. like maybe i was just raised by my parents who hate everything new (like old people do <3) but i so agree, i feel like old turkish music has so much drama and uses traditional instruments that complement the style of singing thats typical for turkish music, does that make sense? like you can find good artists doing modern turkish music too i think but its different.... i mean hmm i dont really listen to tarkans newer songs, nil karaimbrahimgil has some songs i used to listen to as well. göksel too... but those albums are also from the early/mid 2000s so they barely count as modern anymore. and i dont think they compare to older turkish songs AT ALL

ALSO yes yes please send me movie recommendations!!!! dont worry about subs, i can understand turkish well enough LOL its more the speaking thats an issue for me. i would love to know if theres any movies i can annoy my family with hehehe

[the-roadtrip-system]

i apologize for just how long this post is but i have many opinions

my first and main recommendation would be cavern crusher! its sorta like minecraft except in roblox and you play as very bouncy things called “asterians”! and when i say "bouncy" i mean that every time you move the ears and tail go buck wild with the jiggle physics lmao they also sleep if you go without moving for too long which is very cute :3

you just mine blocks and you can place them and build stuff and basically do whatever you want! the world is your sandbox! it generates in real time every time you break a block as well! you can find water and lava in caves, but you can jsut swim in both no problem, without worrying about oxygen. and theres so many ores you can find! including some very silly ones like orekitty (just a big orange cat) or vintage computer (need i say more)

the devs do plan on adding combat to the game, with there being enemies in caves to deal with, but until that gets added theres zero threats in this game at all. even the literal bombs you can find in caves only blow up blocks! no damage to you at all! and the music in this game is very nice :)

it also does this thing where when you leave the game (either by pressing leave or closing out of roblox entirely) it plays a little audio thing for it! the only other game ive seen do this is pressure and i always thought that was very cool so im glad more games are doing it now :3

if you like fighting games i'd recommend phighting! with a ph instead of an f and the exclamation mark at the end. idk why its named like that. but its got a cool premise! each character is based around a specific gear (ban hammer, rocket launcher, subspace tripmine, etc) and all of the maps are larger remakes of old roblox maps!

regretevator is also pretty fun! you get in the elevator and it takes you to a bunch of random floors! some are shops, some are obbys, theres a couple of boss fights, its pretty fun! it definitely does have its moments though (one floor is a dark creepy maze, one is the backrooms where players get chased by something, fuckign flesh cousin exists). i personally wouldnt consider it to be "scary", but i doubt im the best judge of that.

theres also the classic murder mystery 2 which is about as scary as among us. that is to say: only scary if you have an extreme phobia of death and/or murder.

its been a pretty long time since i actually played either of these games so theres a good chance at least one of them has gone to shit with newer updates, but creatures of sonaria and dragon adventures were pretty fun! the first is a survival game where you play as different creatures, and the second is where you just own dragons!

and theres some pokemon-style creature capture games like doodle world! im picking doodle world specifically because the creatures are extremely cute theyre literally just silly drawings :3

theres also some games that are intended for roleplaying, but i just kinda make characters and explore the map without talking to anyone. griffins destiny, dragons life (including the legacy version), wings of fire, wolves life dawn and wolves life 3, a wolves pack, a lions pride, felandia, warrior cats ultimate edition, horse world, etc. two of those are specifically based around book series but you dont need to know anything about either to run around aimlessly so im including them!

i hope at least one of these is something you could enjoy! :D

@ people who play roblox

I'm looking for some non-tycoon games to play that aren't horror. All I ever play are tycoons and simulators, and I only know of like.... maybe 3 games that aren't either of those, but they're games that include jumpscares and scary stuff, and. I'm just not built for horror games. I get spooked way too easily

With that in mind, does anyone have any suggestions for games that I should try?

[jovoy]

good morning i havent done one of these in sooooooo long but today i am wearing my lil sample of kilian rolling in love

this is so pretty! such a beautiful fall fragrance i think it leans gourmand because its very much a powerfully sweet almost marzipan-esque milky almond and vanilla that could be cloying to some. but theres also a lipsticky powdered somewhat vintage smelling iris that really makes this special imo and takes it away from smelling too much like a designer or lower end fragrance yknow..it smells expensive (which it is $$$$$)and slightly more mature than something like ch good girl which i see it compared to on fragrantica. its very sweet a little toasty a little warm and super comforting. it sits fairly close to the skin and doesnt project much but i think if someone hugged you or something they would be like omg you smell so good right now which honestly is what i prefer in a fragrance usually. i think this deserves more hype! its honestly up there with love dont be shy for me as a gourmand girlie. and it is definitely a lot less divisive than ldbs for sure although maybe less of a presence. i would get a full bottle if it were not two hundred and forty dollars for 50 ml because i think thats kind of crazy. but maybe someday or for my birthday next month or something 🙂

[sirenemale]

what kind of vintage toys do you collect?? (i love hearing about people's fun collections and i like collecting em too hsndf. theres something beautiful to me about a toy transitioning from being loved roughly by a child and being loved gently as an art object)

I don't have a tonne or a very specific type I go for other than silly, cool, ugly or charming in some way but here's a very cobbled together photo of some guys in my room!

Like old franchise toys (dragon booster McDonald's toys very specific + stuff like super old factory error Pokémon toys if I can find them, I think the 2009 godzilla film head) the orange dog is mechanical and I'd love to have more like it and I'm extremely enamored by plastic kaiju and dinosaur toys 😌 tasteful tiny clown yknow yknow.

I'm definitely more specific abt collecting weird books and dvds (old dinosaur books, scientific animal illustrations and anime I have never heard of) but I love to grab cool toys when I find them
