Sub Bucky and a breeding kink 💀 dead unlived it's one of my favourite things 😌

This is pretty high up there on my list of dream fantasies 🥵 these are two of my biggest weaknesses, don't even look at me rn

One of life's greatest joys is cuddling with the other person's head resting on your chest so you can play with their hair and rub their shoulders. I love that shit, having someone else's body weight on you is so comforting.

I imagine that's something Bucky would really enjoy too. It's so soft and sweet and tender and getting to feel cared for would really appeal to him.

But that's up until his hands work their way under your top, up over your bare skin so he's able to cup your breasts and bury his face between them while he's getting his hair played with. Life's pleasures don't get much simpler than that.

After a few moments he shifts slightly, tugging the neckline of your shirt out of the way to give himself space to kiss and nip your skin. All of a sudden he's desperate and it's beautiful to watch.

"Please." He whispers between frantic kisses, flicking his tongue over the stiff peak of your nipple before engulfing it with his warm, eager mouth.

"Please, what?" You tease, tugging on his hair just a little for emphasis.

He groans, frustrated by his own lack of coherence, pulling his mouth from your nipple. "Please let me put a baby in you."

That's not what you were expecting but fuck, he makes it sound pretty appealing.

"Bucky-" You begin but he cuts you off, giving your other nipple the same attention as he gave the first. God, that's distracting.

"You'd make. Such. A pretty. Mommy." He whispers, kissing his way down your body until he reaches the bottom seam of your top. From there, he pulls it off, letting it fall to the floor before removing the rest of your clothes.

"You'd look so pretty with a little baby bump." His huge hand rests on your bare tummy, imaging how your body would change.

"I want it, Buck." You mean it too. It doesn't sound like such a bad idea when he's taking his clothes off.

"I know you want it." He groans, rubbing the tip of his dick against your soaked core. "Y-you're so wet."

He presses his hips forward, sliding inside you and you can't explain it but you swear it feels different this time.

"Don't even think about pulling out." You cup his face in your hands, keeping his eyes on you and you almost worry he's going to fuck himself senseless into you. "I want you to make me a mommy. You're going to give me every single drop of cum and when it starts to drip out of me, you're going to fuck it back in."

His head falls onto your shoulder, sobbing a pathetic moan against your already hot skin. The pace of his thrusts matches his need, his hips slamming into yours and when he finally gives in, he cums inside you with your legs clamped around his waist, making sure he couldn't pull out even if he wanted to.

I bet the transfem tag doesn’t have half as much transmasc porn deliberately tagged wrong as the transmasc tag has transfem porn

For every transmasc post I see there’s two porn accounts to block

Just pisses me off. I want to see posts about transmascs!!!

while i think you are probably right about the fact that there isn’t going to be as much transmasc porn in the transfem tag (though i can’t say i’m 100% certain, it’s not like i’ve ever scrolled through both tags and actually counted) and i do find the amount of porn in our tags frustrating, i want to talk a bit about the way this issue is being framed.

the thing you have to remember about porn bots is that you can’t think of them as real people. the whole point of them is to make money by pushing those links into popular tags so as many people see them as possible. they want people to click the link, so they show it to as many people as they can. so when you see these posts, you have to keep in mind that there’s not an individual person sitting behind a screen making specific decisions about whose tags to fuck over or what kind of porn to advertise, those decisions are most likely made based on some sort of algorithm designed to make as much money as possible.

so let’s think about it critically — why might we be seeing so much transfem porn in transmasc tags?

well, a lot of these bots are probably using our tag because tumblr has a lot of transmascs who use those tags. the trans communities on different sites are going to have different demographics, and if you’ve ever seen a poll going around with different choices for transmascs and transfems, you’ve seen just how dramatic the difference in numbers on here can be. these bots are targeting our tags because there are a lot of us here and we tend to be very active which means the bots have a better chance of getting clicks, not because an actual person decided they wanted to fuck over our tags specifically.

and why does the porn tend to be transfem porn? i can’t say for sure, but i’ll tell you my theories. first of all, i’m guessing these bots are using trans porn because tumblr has a lot of very active trans tags, and they probably take that into account — they assume that people in trans tags are more likely to want trans porn. the tag matches the link’s key words in that way, so that’s what their formula for getting clicks thinks we want to see. and i’m guessing it’s transfem porn specifically because there’s just more of that — transfem porn is much easier to find than transmasc porn, and it’s also probably seen as a better bet for these bots because being more popular means more people will want to click it. and that doesn’t stem from people preferring transfems over transmascs or anything like that, it stems from the rampant fetishization of transfems. these accounts aren’t actual transfem sex workers choosing to put their content in the transmasc tags, they’re bots doing what they think is going to make money. they don’t care how transfems feel about it being used and they don’t care how transmascs feel about seeing it instead of what we were actually looking for.

so while i absolutely share your frustration with our tags being overrun with porn, i don’t like how the issue has been framed by a lot of people as a transmasc vs transfem issue. i get how on the surface, it seems like our tags are having more of a problem with it and that must be for a reason, but the reason doesn’t actually have anything to do with our identities — it has everything to do with what bots think is the best way to get us to click their links.

this problem has nothing to do with transmasc vs transfem, and everything to do with the fact that tumblr won’t take care of its bot problem. if you want to get mad at someone for the fact that you can’t see the content you’re looking for without wading through countless porn bots, that’s where your anger should be going: toward the site that hasn’t done anything about it.

i wanted to lay this all out because while you didn’t explicitly blame transfems for this issue in your ask (you more so just said they don’t have to deal with it to the degree we do), i’ve seen posts with a similar tone that do imply that transfems are somehow behind this issue, and that honestly frustrates me more than the issue itself. blaming transfems for this isn’t fair to them — this is a bot issue, not an issue with real people on the site — and it also doesn’t do us any favors because it makes people less likely to take us seriously when we talk about things that are actually specifically targeting our community spaces.

and even though you didn’t take that explicit blaming stance in your ask, i think this issue being brought up as a “transmasc issue” at all reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of exactly why it happens the way it does. so i want this to serve as a reminder that when we have a conversation about something in our community, we have to think critically about the way we’re framing that conversation and make sure we have a good understanding of the root of the problem at hand.

because this really isn’t an issue that should be framed as transmasc vs transfem. i’m sure it’s not any less frustrating for transfems to see porn that fetishizes their bodies plastered all over the site than it is for us to have to dig through that porn to find the content we’re looking for. and it’s not really an issue that has anything to do with the fact that the tags are for transmascs at all. you say someone is deliberately mistagging into our tags, but it’s deliberate on a level that has nothing to do with the individual tags being used.

if we want to have conversations about the ways transmascs are uniquely mistreated, that comes with a responsibility to make sure the things we talk about are actually examples of a unique form of mistreatment and not symptoms of a totally different issue. we have to be careful not to pick the wrong battles, especially if doing so could artificially pit us against transfems who haven’t actually done anything wrong.

i worry that the struggles we’ve had in making our voices heard within our community have made some of us start to see our transfem sisters and siblings as the enemy by default, so i want to strongly caution everyone contributing to these conversations to think deeply about how you’re framing what you’re saying and if it’s actually appropriate before suggesting that any particular issue is a matter of transmascs vs transfems. there are definitely situations where the root of the issue is lateral aggression or intracommunity conflict, but this isn’t one of them and the fact that so many people have interpreted it that way really doesn’t reflect well on us.

i’m just as annoyed by the porn bots in our tags as the next guy, but this isn’t the way to go about having that conversation.

I adore the slightly lighter coloured fur you put under Vascos eyes and the slightly darker fur just around his beauty marks, it's so cool to see these little details in your art. Vasco is a favourite of mine <3

Ah, thank you! I had been wondering if anyone ever noticed the lighter color under his eyes. I always add it there but it's so subtle it often gets drowned out by lighting overlays or other late color adjustments. But I think it adds a little bit of openness to his face and makes his eyes pop, especially when paired with the darker upper lids.

Wasn’t Jon giving up control over himself and his actions to a ‘god’ his entire fucking problem. I.e, not taking ~~accountability~~. Why the fuck you would think that he would benefit from a “”program“” that requires him to do that with a different one in the first place is beyond me.

yes that's the joke. the joke is that jon has a massive complex around seizing and ceding control where he flips flops back and forth between feeling like he's powerless and desperately trying to prove that he's not powerless by making the first active choice available to him, and so trying to follow a program where the literal first step is "accept that you have no control" would be Bad for him no matter where he was on his "I'm powerless/I'm uniquely culpable" rotation.

I think you're taking away the idea that that was a pro twelve step post? it's not, I'm not saying that this is a Good Thing that jon would simply be too bad at self-care to accept, the point is that twelve step programs are super super not suited for everyone even though they're usually the first and most easily accessible port of call for addiction support groups. the framing of "I keep wanting to say this thing" is mostly just a set up for the rest of the joke.

The music questions are making me want to ask a music related question.

Bill’s criteria for weird is probably too high for these songs, but never hurts to ask! (Unless you’re tired of these questions in which case, I’m sorry)

Tara the Android - specifically I Feel Fantastic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VVyVXz-drQ) - and Throbbing Gristle - specifically Hamburger Lady (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fih-xzWGKPA)

These songs aren’t very danceable, so it’s possible he might not like them, but I think they’re good so maybe the quality will make up for the fact that they’re not pop.

but I think they’re good so maybe the quality will make up for the fact that they’re not pop.

you've activated my trap card: Very Specific Personal Criteria For How I Decide Whether A Character Likes A Song!

There's no such thing as a universally "good song" and your personal "this is SO good that it TRANSCENDS genre and EVERYONE would like it" is somebody else's "this is so bland." What songs resonate with you is a function of how YOU'RE wired, NOT how the song's wired; the character you're making a playlist for is not wired like you.

As soon as you start going "this song is SO GOOD the character HAS to like it," you're no longer making a playlist of the character's tastes, you're making a playlist of YOUR tastes.

now, all that said: you sent in a couple of songs that are pushing at the outmost boundaries of human listenability, so you're in the clear lmao, you're cultivating a Billish mindset. (The above disclaimer is what I more often pull out if someone goes, say, "but Bohemian Rhapsody is SO GOOD, surely the character loves it too"—which has happened with multiple characters in multiple fandoms.)

Throbbing Gristle is actually one of the bands I looked into when I was looking for songs to fill out the "weird alien noises" side of Bill's playlist. (They didn't make it on just because I didn't happen to find a track I vibed with enough to add lmao.) For the "weird alien noises" side of thing, the songs I've picked out for Bill are like... you're right in that Bill himself would probably think Throbbing Gristle still sounds "too human" to meet his alien tastes; but on the other side, the way his weird alien tastes sound TO US probably sounds the same way that Throbbing Gristle sounds to us, so they (or bands like them) work for me to like symbolically represent the kind of music Bill would listen to. Simply because human beings are incapable of imagining entirely inhuman music; if we imagine it, it's not inhuman.

Particularly the instrumentation in Hamburger Lady pulls off a similar disconcerting repetitive drone to what you get out of a rising shepherd tone, so good pick.

Tara the Android I don't think quite goes far enough, but it's in the right direction.

last time I tried to fill out the "weird sounds" side of Bill's playlist, I mainly looked into noise music and electroacoustic composition. The latter especially is my go to for alien Bill music.

Hey if you don't mind me asking, what's the 'holding up 3 fingers' thing for The Love You Want? Not sure what it means sorry!

Oh of course anon!!

So back in December while Sleep Token was doing their Germany tour, they announced after 2(?) shows that iii had to suddenly leave for family reasons. Obviously, everyone was worried about him and wanted to do something to show him love and that we were all thinking of him, so during TLYW everyone in the crowd held up 3 fingers. I think there were like…4? shows they did that for thru the end of the tour and by the 2nd the guys were also doing it.

There is an absolutely *devastating* video of Vessel holding up 3 fingers and then it pans to iv who is visibly shaking and frantically wiping his eyes and it breaks me. Every time. I will see if I can find it in here and reblog it for you - might take a second. It’s PAIN!!

Anyway that’s what the tags on that post meant, I’m sure they just took out TLYW to make room for Missing Limbs (which. also fucking devastating.) but I am a menace to myself and take everyone down with me 😇😂

life is strange and wine literally sounds like the most perfect evening evr.

it was pretty good! my mum just went to bed though and i do nottt have the patience nor focus to be able to play such a slow game without someone else in the room to talk about it with the entire time so the night has turned into guild wars 2 and wine

How many asks do you have rn and on average? You seem to get a lot and i have a few questions but if you have a ton of asks i don’t want to send a bunch and make it worse lol

You can always send me asks! Getting asks is extremely rewarding and I feel lucky to be surrounded by such chatty and interactive people. You have no idea how much the feedback I receive inspires me.

I read them all and try to answer as many as I can, but unfortunately it's not feasible for me to respond to every one, I'm just one person with limited time and energy. If they're particularly motivating and make me want to draw something, it may take a while for me to get around to it. I regularly dig through my inbox to find old asks that I missed, so if you sent me a long and thoughtful message at some point and I never posted it, I'm very likely still thinking about it and might get back to it eventually.

Thinking about a Durge who has rejected Bhaal, and whatever person they used to be, but still secretly longs for their lost memories. A Durge that, despite the answers the man could give them, would never re-ignite that strange passion they were shown they once had for Gortash. A Durge that has, for all purposes to the others in their party, moved on. A Durge that, six months after that day atop the Netherbrain, at a party celebrating their new life, receives a strange letter with an even stranger gadget hidden inside.

The meeting at the inauguration was a strange one. Despite Gortash's very obvious elation at seeing what he'd called his 'dearest friend', the man had no hesitation very proudly detailing the Dark Urge's grand scheme; their grand design for the world to be.

In front of all their friends and 'new' lover, of course.

They were furious, and rightly so. Gortash must have known what he was doing. To isolate them, to bring them back to him. The person who accepted them for all they were, all they are, and all they could be - together.

It wasn't enough to win the Dark Urge back to him, and although they'd tentatively teamed up in the end - he had died. Not by the Urge's hand, but in some ways, his own. The group had left Gortash's body within the Prism, and simply moved on. There were bigger problems, and no one really was sad to see him go. Right?

The Urge remembers a letter found in Moonrise Towers. Gortash liked gadgets, according to Ketheric. Evidence was abundant enough with the Steel Watchers, among other things. The item is strangely shaped, entirely too small, and with a simple touch, comes to life.

It reminds them of the strange picture they had seen at the Iron Throne. Gortash's visage shone through a glass, moving, talking - warning them to leave. Answering them, praising them for listening.

What a strange contraption, they'd thought all those months ago.

And then, now, there he was again. A picture, in their hand. A moving picture. Speaking with his voice, wearing his weary face - so, so weary - but not the same as before.

This had passed already. The voice did not answer them this time. It was simply impossible - the man was dead, but not quite gone in this moment.

He speaks of the inauguration like it had just happened. His joy at seeing his favourite 'assassin' again, which he says with a sad smile and a moment of silence. A heavy sigh follows, rubbing at his eyes - which they can see are so much darker than they last remember.

He is tired.

Gortash speaks of their time together, before Orin - and how Orin torments him day and night now that they had both confirmed the Urge's return. She appears with their face, taunting him some days. Other days she sends assassins that wear the same, and he simply cannot let his guard down anymore. But he knew it was them that day.

They can see the exhaustion that pulls down his features, makes his words heavier. This is not the Archduke speaking to him in this moment - it is a tired, broken down man that has just seen a ghost.

Yet they cling to every word anyway, because even though this is a broken down man who is terrified of the ghost - the man still hopes the ghost will remember him, too.

They don't. But he doesn't know that, not this little picture of him, anyway.

The picture says that if they are seeing this recording, it means he is already dead - and although he had planned to sway them back to his side, he may not have been given the chance, and refuses to allow the opportunity to share what the two of them once had slip away.

He would gift unto them the memories that he could, even beyond death. The bloody ones, the happy ones, the painful ones.

And he talks, he smiles, he even cries.

And so do they.

I have a thought that is nagging me and i hope very much that I'm wrong but it's still there

The thought is that lately loscar mentions feels kinda pr? I'm not sure how to describe it but it feels like teams saw how positive people react to them mentioning eachother and went "hey can you do this a bit more? I think crowd gonna eat this shit up"

Like I HOPE that I'm wrong but it has a bit of a feeling to it lately
