don't wanna stop ----

"So, Randy, what is it you want me to do to ya?"

He didn't understand how Benson could just say stuff like that. Randy had never been able to vocalize his wants, sexual or otherwise. Hardly ever given them second thoughts until recently. Until Benson made him think about them.

Made him, for whatever reason, say them.

----

(a fic in which randy asks for what he wants, and gets it 💕)

warnings for: choking, petnames, & backseat frottage

i don't know what i'm doing, all i know is, i don't wanna stop

(this fic, like most ranson porn, is set in a timeline where they never took off with Ms. Beard 👍 because it's easier that way and tbh i think they coulda run pretty far before anything else caught up to them if not for that ...)

-----

"You.. you can go harder.."

It was the last thing Benson expected to hear, fingers twitching around the pale neck they encircled.

"Excuse me?"

Randy blushed. Well, blushed more, considering his face had already been colored a pretty pink from the makeout session he'd brought to an abrupt halt.

"I- I said you can,, ch-choke me harder... if- if you want.."

Benson grinned, this kid is fucking un-real sometimes. Just when he thinks he's got Randy pegged (pun intended), he comes out with some fresh shit like this.

"If I want? Well, that's not what this is about, is it Randy?" Benson leaned further over him, bright blue eyes following his lips as they moved to whisper directly into his ear. "We're doing this for you, isn't that right?"

Randy tried to nod, but Benson pushed down harder, briefly cutting off his airflow and forcing out a wheeze.

"Nods ain't gonna cut it, Randy. Need you to use your words. Okay?"

Randy blinked in what he hoped was an affirmative way, having a hard time keeping his eyes focused as he gasped for air.

He should've known when they started this... whatever this was, that somehow they'd end up here. Camped out in the backseat of the yellow Chrysler at a dingy interstate rest-stop, Benson pressing him down into the worn leather backseat after he'd admitted in a boredom spawned game of 'truth or dare' to lying earlier that day.

From the moment Benson had said 'Not gay...You sure about that?', Randy knew he'd be facing some uncomfortable truths very quickly.

But who could have guessed that his stuttered answer of 'N-no, I.. I'm not sure' would send the car screeching towards the nearest place to pull off the road.

Maybe Benson had had his suspicions even before all... this, and maybe they were a little closer to hopes than truths, but after watching the way Randy looked at him all day, he knew. Those big blue eyes following his every move, perhaps out of fear at first, but soon it was something more like curiosity, like desire.

Like the way Benson looked at him.

After slamming the car into park, Benson took no time in grabbing Randy's freckled cheeks, forcing him to make eye contact as he asked, 'Is this okay? Do you want this?'

It was both the easiest and hardest thing he'd said all day.

"Y-yes"

"Good."

Back in the present, Benson smiled down at him, releasing his grip just enough for Randy to properly use his vocal chords.

"So, what is it you want me to do to ya?" He asked, tone light and teasing but with an air of promise, "And don't just say somethin because you think it's what I want, okay? I wanna hear what You like."

Randy didn't understand how the other man could just say stuff like that. He'd never been able to vocalize his wants, sexual or otherwise; hardly ever given them second thoughts until recently. Until Benson made him think about them. Made him, for whatever reason, say them. (Maybe for the way his face would heat up in humiliation, and his eyes would flicker away until he gathered the courage to finally meet Benson's surprisingly patient gaze.. but who knows.)

Either way, Randy knew he only had one way through this.

"I- uh,, I want you to- to hold me down.."

"uh-huh, How, baby? Be specific."

The petname was new, but not unwelcome. If he'd had more braincells free, Randy's anxiety would have latched onto that like a tick. Thankfully, he was far too focused on the steady pressure on his neck and the blood rushing from his head.

"With.. with your hands, and your.... your body,,"

He stuttered, breath hitching with nerves, it was hard to articulate through the saliva collecting in his open mouth. He swallowed before continuing, feeling his adam's apple bob against Benson's palm.

"W-want you to.. to wrap your hands around me and.. and squeeze."

"Mmm, okay, like this?"

Randy felt all the air in his lungs leave with a whoosh as Benson shifted their positions, now laying almost fully on top of him. Hips pressing firmly together as he let his body weight trap Randy beneath him.

"Y-yeah," he managed to gasp, face glowing red from a combination of arousal, humiliation, and oxygen deprivation, his arms limp and useless above his head, "hhh- Just, like th-that, I- oh god"

A strangled moan escaped him as the hand around his throat tightened, and Randy's head began to tingle with an electric lightness. His thoughts jumbled as his brain to mouth filter broke-down, words leaving his lips before he could comprehend what exactly he was admitting to.

"It's soo good, you're so... B-Benson, you.. you're so strong.."

He chuckled, the sound reverberating through Randy's chest with a pleasant hum. "That's awfully flatterin, tryna rile me up like that.. but you don't gotta bullshit me."

"N-no, I-" Randy cut himself off with a moan, dizzy from want and his stuttering inhales, "mmm- I, I mean it, you... you look really.. uh -mm, good, and s-strong, and- ah- and d-dependable.." His mind was clouding over, it was hard to think, his mouth was moving on auto-pilot, "I've... I've always th-thought so..."

"'Always', huh? You been checkin me out, Randy?"

The question hung in the air, but Randy couldn't answer it. Unable to take in enough breath to respond, he reached up to grip the back of Benson's shirt, nodding his head as much as the tight grip on his throat would allow. Benson smirked as he pressed into Randy's neck, squeezing a bruise into the pale skin before pulling away to let the man under him breathe.

Randy wheezed, taking in lungfuls of air and shutting his eyes to ward off a coughing fit, only to snap them open moments later when a warm hand brushed his cheek. Benson was still on top of him, arms and legs bracketing his smaller body with Randy's arms looped around his shoulders, but his movements had stopped. All except for the hand caressing his heated face, delicately brushing back blonde locks, and the subtle grind of their hips.

Randy hadn't noticed until that moment exactly how hard he was. Didn't know he could even get this hard, the throbs of arousal sending unfamiliar fire up his spine.

Benson was hard too, he could feel it. Randy's gaze flickered down to where their lengths were still pushed together, focus immediately drawn to the apparent tent in the other's pants. His head reeled from the way Benson's cock was sliding next to his, right between the crease of his thigh and the restrictive press of the zipper on his (no, on Benson's) jeans.

As if reading his thoughts, Benson snuck his left hand between them, flicking open first his then Randy's fly. The blonde let out a pathetic whimper when their hips slotted back together, gruff hands gripping tight onto pale hips and thrusting down just to hear Randy moan. Benson gave a light chuckle at the sound, eyes trailing over bright freckled cheeks and plush shiny lips.

He was staring at Randy like he was trying to see through him, inside him. Like he wanted to take him apart, and stick around to put the pieces back together again.

Randy had a feeling it should maybe unnerve him, but it didn't. It only made him want to surrender.

"Ya' know, I been checkin' you out too, baby."

Randy was enraptured as Benson spoke. Breath quickening while the hand on his face began trailing lower, but trying not to let his mounting desperation show.

"Been thinking about this for a real long time." Benson continued, almost nonchalant, as though he couldn't feel exactly how he was effecting the other, "The way you watch me, it's hot. So intent but still so shy. Like you want something..."

Randy felt like a pile of goo. He'd never experienced anything like this. He was so turned on it was making his brain melt, not a thought in his head besides 'yes' and 'please' and 'Benson.'

As his wandering hand finally found its way back to Randy's throat, Benson flashed his teeth, enjoying the way those watery blue eyes widened pleadingly.

"Gonna' tell me what that is anytime soon, princess?"

The dam broke. Randy's eyes rolled back against the onslaught of sensations; Benson's hot breath on his face, the hand pressing harder and harder on his neck, the persistent grind of their hips. It felt like he'd just jumped off a cliff, but instead of the terrible splat that was sure to come after, he was just floating.

His whines and pleas were a jumbled mess, they must have been, but some coherent thoughts finally managed to break through.

"Benson, Benson please, I- I need.."

"Yeah? Wha'd'ya need, baby. Tell me."

Randy felt tears falling down his cheeks as he spoke, "Need.. need to cum, please.."

Benson smiled, a cruel twist of his lips while his hands gripped somehow tighter.

"No one's stopping you."

oh fuck-!

Randy's mind went blank, vision whiting out before his eyes slammed shut. He would have screamed, but he couldn't catch the breath for it. The soft clicking of his spasming windpipe the only sound he could manage as he crashed into the most intense orgasm of his life.

Suddenly, Benson let go.

The rush of his lungs pulling in as much air as they could made Randy's head spin all over again. Despite the growing stickiness between them, Benson hadn't stopped rutting his hips forcefully down. He ground his still hard cock against their stomachs, letting out a dark chuckle at Randy's whine of oversensitivity.

"shit, Randy, you're so hot." Benson growled into his neck, scratchy facial hair brushing against the bruises he left there.

"Can't believe you're fucking real, you know that? So perfect for me.."

Randy panted as teeth grazed over his ear, Benson kissing lower and lower until his mouth was pressed into the darkening shape of his own fingerprints.

Benson was relentless, but Randy didn't mind. He didn't think he'd mind much of anything at the moment. Honestly, he's about 99% sure he'd let Benson do whatever he wanted as long as he got to feel like this again.

"Did'ja like getting marked up all pretty for me?" Benson murmured, "Cumming in your pants like a damn teenager from the feel of my hands on ya?"

Said hands snapped back to Randy's neck, shoving his face to the side as Benson finally let his teeth sink into pale skin.

Randy moaned wildly, the sound startling him back to reality. Just from that he could feel his spent cock stirring again. Actually, did he ever go soft? He couldn't tell, the only thing swirling in his head the feeling of Benson's hands back around his throat. Randy was starting to think they belonged there.

"Ohmygod, Benson, I-" He trailed off into another keening moan, drool spilling onto the warm sticky leather seat under him.

"Tell me." Benson practically snarled, sucking another bruise into Randy's abused throat.

It was too much. It wasn't enough. The static in his brain took over as he bucked his hips up into the man above him.

"Yes, yes, I- I love it, Benson, so good, I've never- never felt like that before, thought I was gonna die-"

"You are so fucking sexy, baby. Never, huh? No one else been able to make you feel like I do?" The tone was still teasing, but an edge of desperation was becoming evermore apparent. His thrusting grew increasingly erratic, the rhythm speeding up and faltering as Benson chased his own release.

Randy could barely catch his breath under the returned pressure on his neck, but managed to wheeze out, "No, no, you- only you-"

As he approached the edge, again, Randy realized it was true. He'd never had these feelings for anyone else, never wanted someone else like this. He wondered, through the haze once more overtaking his mind, if he ever would.

"fuck, Fuck! Randy-"

"B-Benson, I'm- again, ah!"

Benson smashed their lips together, his tongue sweeping across Randy's open mouth, swallowing desperate whine as he toppled into another dizzying orgasm.

Benson drew back with a grunt, grinding down forcefully one, two, three, times before collapsing on top of him. Randy let out a soft groan as their bodies slotted together, too preoccupied by the heat radiating between them to care about anything else.

They stayed like that for awhile, Benson littering kisses across his purpling neck as Randy ran his hands up and down the other's back. When the increasingly sticky mess between them went from 'mildly uncomfortable' to 'fucking gross', Benson pushed himself up.

He sat back on his knees for a moment, staring at the object of his almost obsessive fixations laid bare beneath him. Randy fidgeted under his gaze, pulling his shirt back down from where it had rucked up around his waist.

"How you doin' there, baby?"

Randy blushed, simultaneously embarrassed and delighted that Benson was still using the petname.

"I'm.. good. Mostly tired... and hungry."

Benson grinned, pushing Randy's sweaty bangs back, eyes slowly trailing across his face. The look of pure fondness there enough to send Randy's mind reeling again.

"Well, think I can do something about at least one of those things. Saw a sign for some diner chain back on the highway."

He slid his hand over the back of Randy's head, leaning forward to lightly comb through blonde locks until his hand clasped around the back of his neck.

"Why don't you take a nap, and I'll wake you up when we get there."

Randy was used to Benson ordering him around by now, but this felt different. Or maybe Randy was different. Maybe he was just now realizing that he didn't mind doing what Benson told him to. Maybe he even liked it. Maybe because it was Benson.

Before Randy could spend any more time thinking about it, his fatigue washed over him. After a moment he nodded, muttering his assent, and he felt Benson press one last kiss on his forehead before climbing out to retake his spot in the driver's seat.

"Yeah, okay."

-------

And then Benson drives them to an IHop for late-night breakfast before they go to fuck in a motel <3

hehehoho it's baby's first Passenger fic! Love these two so much I'm honestly surprised it didn't happen sooner?? This was born out a combination of my obsession with how Benson can't keep his fucking hands off Randy, my own sexual frustration, and (as always) repeated listens to Bodyguard by Beyonce :)

Thanks for reading!

As someone who's craving whb contents, i love ur scenarios so muchhhhhhh

I've seen the smol kings and it was so cute :33

Can i request the kings with smol mc, but maybe slight angsty because Mc lost their parents when they're young and stuff...

I'm so happy you find this entertaining, because I'm not going to stop lmao You're stuck with me. Poor things. Love you too

We've already had kings with a little shy MC, now it's time to see how they deal with a sad or crying one

We may say it's a little continuation of this request

Satan will let you cry if you want. Expressing emotions is healthy. He told himself that you can do whatever you want, even if it means yelling and snotting on his shirt. That doesn't mean he'll leave you alone; he'll hug you, and you can bury your face in his shoulder, covered with soft hair that smells like sunny cat fur. Safe and hidden from the whole world. If you're frustrated and want to beat him with your little fists, he's there for you, too. He understands your pain, as he also lost loved ones. Loses people every day in the war... he knows what it's like when your emotions control you more than you control them. Although you express it in a much less destructive way than he does. Maybe deep down, he envies you for being able to afford something like that.

Mammon will be very concerned. His little master is unhappy? Why, can he do something about it? Cuddled against a large chest and tucked into huge arms, you feel safe. But... unfortunately your pain doesn't come from outside, where Mammon can protect you, but from inside. He will rock you and try to gently distract you. He knows you very well. Whether it's a design show or just a playground, Mammon knows what you like and will take you there to cheer you up. And all his nobles will join him. You can count on hugs from Eligos and be carried in Valefor's arms, even Bimet will let you play and fly on his skulls.

Beelzebub, like Mammon, will try to comfort you, but in a less gentle way. Are you crying? These are definitely bad memories. He is also often tormented, and he has a way to deal with it. Break them down like soreness. You won't even have time to cry properly. Cuddled in his arms, you suddenly feel the strong smells of spices. Is this an Indian bazaar? Beel will grab vada pav for you and for himself, and while eating street food, you will watch how other snacks are prepared. A few moments later, you will find yourself in front of the coliseum, where you will watch an artist painting landscapes with sprays. (By the way, Italy, mafia, Beel feels at home here, don't let him into the fireworks stands.) Snowy Carpathians, mustangs on the prairies, atolls of coral reefs, when such a colorful kaleidoscope flashes before your eyes, you won't have time to cry. Beel will only breathe when you fall asleep in his arms. Even though he was entertaining and laughing with you the whole time, there was a boulder in his chest. Only passing tourists who see a handsome man with a child in his arms, sitting by the fireplace and staring into the flames, will be able to see that he is hunched over with worry.

Leviathan isn't the happiest when you're crying on his shoulder. You will see this, and you will want to run away from him, but he will grab you in his arms before you can. Who let you? It's better that no one sees you like this. Come. You will stay with him. He will wipe your tears with a tissue and tell you to blow your nose. Even if you are scared, over time, when you sit with him, you will realize that there is nothing to be afraid of. It's quiet and safe around. You won't even be warned for disturbing him at work. He will spend as much time with you as you need. But what will shock you the most... is his voice. He will walk with you in his arms and start humming softly. A voice more beautiful than an angel's, you will listen like a charm, although it is a purr quieter than a whisper. He simply did what he would like to receive if he were a crying child.

#whb #what in hell is bad #whb satan #whb beelzebub #whb leviathan #whb mammon #skye's little talk

♡ Wearing Baggy Clothes Around SKZ {Chubby Babe Edition}♡

♡ I was asked to explore how these cuties might feel about having a girlfriend who wears baggy clothes 24/7 because it makes her comfy, not because she's insecure. So let's get into it... ♡

Pairing: ot8!boyfriend!skz x chubby!fem!reader

Genre: fluffy fluff ♡

♡ Bang Chan ♡

Your choice to wear baggy clothing isn't something he's ever given a second thought to

Duh, he thinks you have a beautiful body but it's 100% your choice if you want to show it off or not

It's actually really nice having a girlfriend who has the same fashion sense as him because he doesn't feel pressured to dress more revealing either

Whenever companies offer to send him free stuff he makes sure he asks for a size that works for both of you that way you have a few items that you can share/wear when you miss each other

♡ Hyunjin ♡

Being fashionable to him has never translated to having to wear tighter clothes so he still finds what you wear to be quite cute

When he goes to special events he likes to take you with him but he'll never get upset with you if you choose not to wear what's "in" at the moment

He puts a lot of effort into helping you pick out fashion week worthy outfits that keep you looking as gorgeous as you do without compromising comfort

If anyone ever says anything rude to you about it they're catching some major side eye from him coupled with some colorful language

♡ Changbin ♡

This is it. Dwaekki's chance to talk you into wearing matching gym clothes even when you aren't even kinda sorta heading to the gym that day

When I say matching, I mean matching. Whatever he has, you have the women's version of and it will be worn when you're together. I don't make the rules here

If you ever decide to change your mind about how you want to dress he'll support you 100% in rocking something tighter/more revealing

But he'll never pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. The most important thing to him is that you're happy, whatever that looks like for you

♡ Lee Know ♡

Outfits that have too much going on agitate him when it comes to what his stylists put on him so he understands completely why you wouldn't want to deal with that

He pretends that he doesn't want to be touched around other people but he really likes cuddles and your clothes make cuddling better for him

Every time Soonie, Doongi, or Dori make biscuits on the dangling fabric of your clothing he thinks it's super adorable. Best cat step-mom ever

Has a habit of always rolling your sleeves/pants/etc up for you when you're about to do something that might be messy so that they fit snugly in the right places

♡ Felix ♡

At first, he asks a lot of questions to make sure that you aren't doing this because you're insecure about your body

It's not done to imply that you should be. He just wants to know if you are so that he can remind you more often that you're beautiful and that anyone who says otherwise can bite you

After that though, he lets it go and starts to do things like slipping into your hoodie with you even though there's no way he's getting his head out of the other end

Ultimately, he encourages you to go even bigger because how can he be properly attached to you at the hip if there isn't room for two all the time?

♡ Han ♡

This is absolutely going to turn into a lengthy conversation about how a lot of women in the old school hip hop scene chose to dress this way too

He's bound to get sidetracked talking about certain artists who wore things he thinks you'd look cute in. Some of it might be hideous. Just nod and smile

It's cool because he gets to be as physically affectionate as he wants to be with you in public without worrying that he'll make a wrong move and something slips out

The day will never come when it isn't adorable to him that you can curl up in your clothes like a lil cat. Just this cozy, warm ball of cuteness

♡ I.N ♡

It's in his spirit to take advantage of the fact that baggier clothes make you easier to grab

Meaning, if you try to run away when he's inevitably doing something to get on your nerves he'll catch you immediately and you'll be trapped with him

This isn't a bad thing because, even when he's torturing you, it's impossible not to see how much he cares about you

The other guys tend to tease him about how smitten he is with you and how cool he thinks you are but that'll never stop him from acting that way

♡ Seungmin ♡

Your face is what he spends most of his time staring at anyway so it's no big deal that you don't wear revealing clothing

It's kind of a good thing that you don't because he can be a real brat when other guys are staring at you and you aren't sure how long he can resist the urge to poke their eyes out

Of course, he can get over that jealousy so that you feel supported in switching it up sometimes

Though he will playfully tease you about being his "other girlfriend" when you switch back and forth because being a menace comes with the territory

#stray kids fluff #stray kids x you #stray kids headcanons #stray kids x reader #stray kids x chubby reader #chubby reader #plus size reader #lee felix x reader #bang chan x reader #hyunjin x reader #han jisung x reader #changbin x reader

HCs for Ciel as an older brother? Maybe a bit of r!Ciel added in please? :3

! Older Brother Ciel !

weheheheheh... i cant wait to see rciel in the anime if they continue making seasons. which im sure they will.

R!Ciel is named Riel.

You were born mere days before the tragedy regarding the Phantomhive name. You and your two older brothers were the only ones to have survived.

Unlike your brothers, you weren't sold off. You were far too young. Instead, you were left in the cold by some building. Fortunately, on one of her daily walks, Elizabeth had spotted you. She swiftly brought you back home.

The month had passed, Ciel returned home without his brother. You didn't know this. You were a month old, after all.

Months turn to years, you're now three. You had no prior knowledge regarding your other older brother.. until the brother you grew up with, Ciel, was abolished of his title from Riel's return.

You needed a guardian always. Riel tried convincing you to stay with him as the manor was far safer. You denied, and stayed with Ciel and Sebastian. Sebastian is, and has been, Ciel's guardian... so what's the difference?

Sebastian takes his orders literal. He was ordered to prioritize Ciel's life over anyone else's. He and Ciel got into fights more frequently whenever Sebastian protected him over you. So, you never left Ciel's side, even if you wanted to. You were almost always glued to him in some way.

Either you'd be on his lap, he'd be holding you, you'd be forced to hold his hand, whatever it may be. If Sebastian picked him up, you're being picked up too. If he's being changed, you will turn around and face the other way in the same room. Baths are no different. Ciel will always be in the room, eyes averted. If anything were to happen while you were bathed, he'd be swatting Sebastian away to scoop you up into a towel. Even if it hasn't happened yet, Ciel already thought about this stuff.

At some point, it became enough for you. You loved Ciel very much, you loved being by him, but this isn't clinginess anymore.. what can this be classified as?

You'd be coloring with him one day. Somehow, your art was far better than his. Then, it was bed time. The night prior, you were graduated from sleeping on your own with Ciel nearby, to sleeping with Ciel. Thanks, robbers.

Ciel was not a happy boy. You weren't either. You couldn't even cuddle your plushie properly, as you'd be facing his chest. Why? Because if you get shot, your organs wouldn't be facing the window. That's how much Ciel cares.

While cuddled up in his arms, you spoke. "I wanna sleep on my own."

Ciel understood, but not in the way you'd imagine. "I know, change is hard."

"No.. I want my own room."

That, he didn't understand. He looked at you like you were just playing and acting silly. He ruffled your hair with a faint smile. "You can't. You're with me." "I don't want to."

Ouch.

If anyone else had told him something as offensive as that, he'd get pissy. For some reason, this just hurt!

"..You have no choice. Riel took all of my money, silly." "Oh.." "Do you want to live with Riel?"

You were put on the spot, freezing up. You hesitated, but shook your head no. Not because you wanted to live with Riel, but rather because you just.. wanted some sort of privacy.

"Good," Ciel smiled, nose buried in your hair. "Just get some rest."

The moment Ciel fell asleep, Sebastian entered and replaced you with a pillow and allowed you some free time. He'd tuck you into bed with Ciel the moment you fell asleep. Ciel never noticed this happening throughout the days.

Your relationship with Ciel was complicated, sure, but you loved him. He loves you too, if that wasn't obvious enough.

Jackolanternstance (or Jackstance if you prefer): A blankstance for people who have the time/energy to explain things. It focuses on how from an uninformed perspective, some kinks, paraphilias and identities can seem "scary;" but focuses on the fact that people who identify with those are people, too, and even if you don't understand something they deserve respect.

This is a term for people who have the patience and time to argue against paramisia and misinformation about paraphiles, who want to express the actual truth (not what radqueers try to claim is the truth) about having a paraphila. The Jack o lantern themeing was chosen because of its association with Halloween. It's kind of a stretch, but it's supposed to reference how people are scared on Halloween but it's all fake, relating that to how uninformed outsiders think paraphiles are scary or dangerous.

People with this stance:

always do a search off of Tumblr/whatever social media website to find more information about something before deciding their feelings on it

support all paraphiles as people and will not judge someone just because they have a paraphilia, not even "the big three"

believe in the idea that identities and experiences that you don't personally have might seem "scary," but you still have to respect the people with those experiences

feel capable of arguing against misinformation about paraphilias

support MOGAI, LIOM, and Unoraid

This stance is against:

sysmedicalism, fakeclaiming, disorder faking on purpose, and ableism

xenophobia, colorism and racism

radqueers, MUDs, fults, xenosatanism and winterqueer

assault and grooming

acting on paras that inherently harm the object of attraction nonconsensually

shipping or headcanons for real life people

calling people "cringe" seriously

involving people who didn't consent in your kink, such as commenting kink stuff on a reblog of a random uninvolved Tumblr post

ignoring someone's DNI on purpose

the idea that attraction equals action

This stance supports:

the idea that identities and experiences that you don't personally have might seem "scary," but you still have to respect the people with those experiences

all paraphiles as people, including the big three

all kink between consenting individuals (and no, minors and animals cannot consent properly)

making a safe space for former radqueers

Anything not specified, this term has no stance on and is up to the individual. Emoji code for this if you would like one is 🎃🌈

Tagging: @blankqueer as well as @anti-rq-gumi @report-rqs and @nectar-rain, some posts from those last three were a big inspiration for this. (Let me know if you'd rather I don't tag!)

#jackstance #jackolanternstance #pro para #paraphilia #paraphile safe #paraphile community #pro paraphilia #actually paraphilic #anti radqueer #blankqueer #blankstance #liomogai #mogai #emoji codes #🎃🌈

hi everyone! I've gotten several requests to make a tutorial on how to make gifs for someone just starting out and I finally got around to slapping a tutorial together.

This tutorial will cover:

software recommendations

choosing what to gif

creating a gif step by step with probably a lot of unnecessary detail

some tips and tricks:)

(This particular tutorial will not cover how to find tv and movies to download and gif, or any specific instructions on coloring. only the basic gif making process.)

so for the purposes of this tutorial, we will be using Adobe Photoshop, which is the most common program for making gifs, and the one I recommend. the version you have doesn't make a major difference in terms of capabilities but the interface may be slightly different looking if you have an older version or a different type of device. you cannot make or edit gifs in any mobile version of the photoshop application. Optionally, we will also be using Adobe Premiere Rush/Pro or another video editing software of your choice. wherever you are downloading Photoshop, whether from Adobe or a third party, you should easily be able to acquire Premiere as well. I am aiming to be as detailed as possible in this tutorial, so it may sound more time consuming than it really is. once you get the hang of things, it goes fast. the most time consuming part by far is the editing and coloring. in my opinion, one thing that majorly saves time while giffing is knowing your keyboard shortcuts and using your mouse/trackpad as little as possible. I will be going over these in this tutorial as well.

before we begin, some general tips:

gifs of single shots that do not cut between angles or subjects generally will look the best, barring exceptions

for a single gif set, choosing scenes and shots with similar lighting will be easiest to get to look uniform when compiled together, since editing wildly different looking scenes to have similar coloring and lighting is hard and takes some practice!

avoid shots that will require you to majorly crop or zoom to properly frame the subject, as this will greatly diminish quality

speaking of quality, gifs will look best using 1080p video, but you can get away with 720p as well. I would not recommend giffing with anything lower resolution than that

Tumblr's upload capacity for image and gif files is 10mb. be sure when exporting your finished gif that it is under that size. if it is a bit over, you can try trimming a few frames off your gif in the video timeline.

if you get frustrated, don't give up! giffing is hard and complicated especially if you are new to photoshop. I tried to make this tutorial as detailed as possible so it's easy to understand (although im sure I still forgot some stuff)

ok onto the tutorial!!!

STEP ONE: choose what range of frames you want to gif, and how.

once you have decided what you want to gif, there are two main way to convert your episode into a range of frames to make into a gif. the first is by screencapping. this involves downloading a program like mplayer or vlc which can be used to convert video files into "stacks" of screencaps, which can then be separated into whatever range of frames you want and imported into photoshop. this is seemingly by far the most common method I have seen amongst gifmakers*, but personally I don't care for it and I think it's more confusing and time consuming overall, so I will be explaining the second method: importing video frames to layers.

now, normally what this would mean is opening the full episode in photoshop and using the pathetic little playheads on either end of the scrub bar to trim the file into a clip. this is where your video editing software comes into play.

open whatever episode or movie you want to gif in your program. if it is a large file like a long movie in 1080p, this may take a few seconds. like I said, I am using Premiere Rush. I will be using a random episode of 9-1-1 for my example gif.

in your media browser, hover over whichever episode you want (you can also just add the whole episode to your project and scrub through, but that can take longer unless you know what time stamp you're after). click the fullscreen button by the bottom righthand corner.

now you can scrub through and trim the episode before you even import it to premiere. this makes trimming your clip even easier.

use the trim bar (yellow outlines) to trim as close as you can around the scene you want to gif.

then click this plus, and then "add" below. this will add the clip to your project.

now, move the blue playhead up to the frame you want your gif to start on. then, use the scissors button off to the left to slice the clip. select the portion before the playhead, and delete it.

now move the playhead to where you want the gif to stop. a good length for most gifs is around 1.5-2 seconds in my opinion. some may be shorter depending on how long the shot is, or longer if you plan on making them smaller (remember, the uploading capacity on Tumblr is 10mb per file.) trim again, now delete the portion after the playhead. you can also use the left and right arrows beside the play button to move frame by frame, and you can adjust the side of the horizontal scroll bar below your clip to “zoom” in on it and make scrubbing easier.

once you have your clip, go up to where it says "share". your clip will be rendered, and then you can click export to save it.

repeat step one as many times as you want for each gif. I know this may sound complicated, but like I said above once you get in the rhythm this step takes only a few seconds.

STEP TWO: create your gif!

close premiere. open photoshop. head to the control bar at the top. select file > import > import video frames to layers.

navigate to whatever folder you exported your clip to. select it, and hit enter. a second popup will appear asking you to select your range of frames. since you have already trimmed your clip to your liking, simply hit enter a second time.

now your screen looks like this, and we are going to crop and resize our gif! (troubleshooting: if you do not see the timeline bar at the bottom, select window from the control bar, scroll down, and make sure timeline is selected as part of your workspace. Adjustments and layers should be there automatically but if not add them too).

Tumblr posts are 540px wide, so in order to make my gifs as small as possible while maintaining quality, I typically crop my gifs to be around 550-600px wide, with varying heights depending on what shape I want the gif to be. experiment with this a little and decide what works for you. just don't make the width lower than 540px. once you have the portion of the frame you want inside the cropping grid, hit enter again. sometimes you have to hit it twice.

here are the measurements I am using for this gif

now in your timeline, select frame 1. hold down the shift key and scroll to the end to select the very last frame, thereby highlighting them all. from here we will edit our frame delay rate. photoshop will automatically set it to .03s, which will make your finished gif awkwardly fast. I typically use .05s, or .06s if I want a gif to be subtly slower (this comes in handy if the shot you are trying to gif is very short). anything longer than .06s will look weird though. choose "other" from this menu and type in your delay rate. make sure not to miss the zero after the decimal.

once you've set your frame rate, go to the other end of your timeline and click here to convert your frames into a video timeline.

then press option + command + A (on Mac) or windows + alt + A (on PC) to select all layers. then right click (control + click with a trackpad) on any one of the highlighted layers in your layers tab off to the right. scroll down in the popup menu and select Convert to Smart Object.

THAT'S IT!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! WE HAVE GIF!!!

from here comes the fun part!! you will begin adding action filters like sharpening as well as adjustment layers to color and edit your gif. experiment with different adjustments and styles until you find something you like. too many adjustment layers will up the size of the finished gif though, so I tend to keep mine to 3-4 layers max unless its a really hard to color scene. if anyone is interested in a separate coloring tutorial, please let me know!

once you are finished editing your gif, click file > export > save for web (legacy) OR hit shift + option + command + S. play your gif in the export window to make sure it looks okay, and then hit save!

I hope you guys find this helpful and informative! please hit up my in box if you have any questions or if anything doesn't make sense. happy giffing!!!

*one reason people seem to prefer screencapping to this method, is saving all the individual clips as video files does take up a lot of space on your scratch drive, which in turn can cause your computer to work slowly or crash programs. this can be rectified by making sure to delete the clips from your computer once you are done making the gifs. another space hoarder to look out for is the proxy files of your episodes that will be automatically saved to your hard drive whenever you add an episode to your project in Premiere. Periodically, go through your storage and delete all the .proxy video files. this will not delete the original episode files, only the proxy files created by Premiere.

A Little Catching Up

Written for Hermit-a-day-May, day 12: Friends of Hermits. Or: Lizzie! ALSO written for @flashfictionfridayofficial prompt 252, "Spill The Tea"

Wc: 1000

Ao3: Here!

It’d been a while since Lizzie last saw her husband in person, since he joined Hermitcraft. Good. That meant she was able to focus on other stuff that was on her mind. And it’s not like they never spoke, anyway.

At first, they called every day, but now it was every week or so, and every time she did, he had another story to tell. Apparently, there was something about… clones of himself? A murder mystery? A murder mystery about the clones of himself? Honestly, she stopped trying to disentangle that thing. She was happy not understanding and just hearing her husband ramble.

And then, Joel got the idea of traveling together in his brain — ‘To get some inspiration for my base, Lizzie’ — and she was more than willing to indulge him.

It was nice, getting to catch up properly, to spend some time together, before they each had to go to their respective servers. It was a much needed trip, and they got to see some very wonderful builds. She may not be pulling inspiration from it for her own creations, but she’d be lying if she said seeing all the views didn’t revitalize her a little.

It’d been less than a week since they parted ways and Lizzie was boiling a pot of tea when her phone rang. It was Joel.

“Hey babe,” she greeted, bringing the phone to her ear.

“Hey Lizzie, what are you doing right now?” He spoke very fast. “Because I want to tell you something weird and don’t want you to break something.”

“Eh, nothing special,” she said, and with her phone now supported by her shoulder, she picked up the kettle before it could whistle. “Hit me with it.”

“Remember how I told you Etho was obsessed with me?”

“Uh, duh.” She began pouring the liquid into her cup.

“Well, apparently there’s someone worse.��

“That’s possible?” She asked sarcastically. “Wow.”

“Lizzie. I came back to like seven love letters addressed to me, Lizzie. Seven anonymous love letters!”

Lizzie choked and her grip on the kettle got unsteady. It spilled a bit around the cup. “Oh, crap.” It could’ve fallen on her.

“I know, what the hell! And the worst part is, he was convinced we had something going on, because someone left a sign on his base pretending to be me!”

She openly laughed now, and set the kettle with a clank before the boiling water could drop on her. He continued his pleas.

“I’m married, Lizzie! To you! And when I told him I didn’t want anything to do with him that way, he sent me a poem. A poem, Lizzie!”

Lizzie was delighted. She picked the mug with both hands and walked to the living room with it as he spoke.

“Did he, now?” She sat back onto her favorite armchair and set the mug on the side table.

“And now!” He was quickly growing agitated. Not in a negative way. Joels needed some agitation for enrichment. An agitated Joel was a sign of a healthy husband. “The context is too complicated to explain, but now I’m stuck having to make an armor stand –”

“Oh, armor stands! Your shrine for me was adorable. And little you! Oh I could just squish his cheeks.”

“...Thank you Lizzie. Right. Now I have to make an armor stand of myself professing my love to him or whatever so he leaves me alone.”

“Ha! Oh Joel, only you.”

“Only me? Lizzie, have some compassion. I’m dying over here!”

“I don’t know…” She brought the mug to her face and checked the color. Still a couple more minutes before she could drink it. “That seems like a Joel problem to me.”

He groaned, and she could just imagine him covering his face with his hands in frustration. She loved seeing him suffer.

“Right, the worst wife. She doesn’t listen to my suffering. I’m doomed. I’m in pain and she doesn’t empathize.”

She laughed again. “Well, if I’m so horrible of a wife, I think it’s time to go, now! My tea will be ready any minute now.” And with the most cheerful of tones. “Bye Joel! Good luck with the number one fan!”

There was a little moment of silence, and when Joel spoke again, it was like he was a different person. All the acceleration left his voice and who remained was the man she’d know for most of her life, who she would take strolls along the beach with, who proposed to her, who she spent a wonderful time with on their most recent trip.

“Bye babe. It was nice talking to you. It’s… it’s been a strange few days. I think the trip made me realize how much I missed you.”

She melted a little and didn’t try to hide it in her voice. “Oh, Joel. I can imagine. I miss you too. It’s been three months now, since you joined. Can you believe that?”

“And yet it sometimes feels like the first week. Like I’m still very new to it all. It’s so strange. How has time passed that fast but also so slow?”

“Something only the ruler of Stratos would know.”

“What- that… doesn’t make any sense. Why would I from-”

“I love you Joel.”

“Love you too, Lizzie. Right, I have some projects to be working on. Not the stupid statue. I’ll postpone that as much as possible. Maybe one day I can sneak you in so you could see how my base is coming along. See how the trip has helped me”

“I would like that. Just be careful of Xisuma noticing me!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll bring you in when he’s offline. Okay, bye now.”

“Bye!”

And like that, she ended the call.

It truly was nice to see him having fun on his new server and making new friends. If unwanted love letters counted as a new friend. She chuckled to herself. The situations that man got himself into, sometimes…

But she loved him all the same.

Free Numby Sewing Pattern!

This is a collaboration with Hologramo (Instagram and Etsy) and is of moderate difficulty, intended for people with some understanding of sewing patterns, fabric grain, etc. The pattern can be used for a plushie or for the muppet-style puppet shown above!

FABRIC: I used shiny performance stretch fabric for all elements except the shell, which I made from white cotton knit and heat transfer vinyl. Fleece also worked well in testing, so minky and other similar fabric should work as well. I do NOT recommend cotton weave (muslin, quilting cotton, etc) because that test was much too rigid for my purposes as a muppet. You'll need about 3/4ths of a yard of black fabric, 1/2 yard of white, and 1/3 yard of gold and purple each.

STUFFING: If you're doing a plushie, you will only need Polyfill or other stuffing, but if you're doing a puppet I used a bit of Polyfill for the throat/ears/legs plus upholstery foam in 1/4 inch and 1 inch thicknesses.

The pattern:

Scale the above image to whatever size you need (Paint, not Paint 3D is an easy tool to print at 150% size or more) and print it out on your computer. (Mine I think scaled to six pages?) Cut out each piece, taping pieces that printed on multiple pages together, and lay it as so on FOLDED FABRIC with the salvage edge at the bottom of the image.

Cut out each of the shapes above (giving you two mirrored pieces of fabric) and a second set of two for the teeth and ears. You'll also want a second set of shell fabric if you're making this a puppet or want more dimension in the back.

Side, belly, and both legs should be in black fabric, teeth and ears should be in gold, and shell should be white.

THE BODY

Begin to line up the seams by matching up the colored lines - deep blue is where the belly and the side meet, for example - with the right sides (the pretty sides) of the fabric together. I recommend sewing the front and back pieces of each leg together first (leaving the large hole at the top) then one belly to one side as illustrated below (rough sketch).

Now, you'll want to ease the front and back legs into the green and blue holes illustrated above. You might need to just barely snip along the fabric of the legs, or gather them, but the end result should give you legs that are not quite flat. If you're having trouble, I recommend watching a tutorial on sewing puffed sleeves - it's a very similar process.

With your arms sewn in, you can now sew the two belly seams together! Leave a large gap in the center of the belly (between the legs) if you're making a puppet - this is where your hand will go.

PUPPET STEPS ONLY: Now is when you will need to stuff the legs! Fill with Polyfill or other fluffy stuffing to the desired density, then cut a circle of scrap fabric and sew it on the other side of the leg hole to stop the stuffing from slipping out. You need to do this to keep the body cavity empty, while also ensuring the legs look properly filled. Here is a picture of what the 'bottom half' of Puppet!Numby looked like with his legs fluffed:

The white are the circles of scrap fabric that keep the leg fluff contained.

You can do the ears and teeth now, too; just put two mirrors pieces together, right sides together, sew most of the way through then turn inside out. I stuffed my teeth with upholstery foam cut into pyramid-like shapes and my ears with a front piece of 1/4 inch foam and backed with Polyfill, but it's up to you how to do these. Set the teeth and ears aside for now.

THE SHELL

The reason I did the white shell in cotton was because I wanted to iron on the decals for Numby, and polyester glitter stretch does not want to take HTV (heat transfer vinyl) very well. Sew the two pink seams on the back together, leaving the keyhole open.

Sew your shell pieces together first, then make your HTV pattern of it of paper and make sure things line up. Unfortunately, due to image limits on Tumblr (and losing the pattern pieces) I can't put the pattern for his markings here. Iron on the decals (on one shell side, if you cut out two sets) before moving to the next step!

PUPPET STEPS ONLY: Now is when you make your first cut with foam! Cut two pieces of the back pattern in 1/4 inch thick upholstery foam and glue the two middle seams together at an angle so that the foam forms an arched/dome shape. (Mine looked like a horseshoe crab.) I used the E6000 fabric glue. Trim any sharp edges smooth, then use the foam as a 'filling' for a sandwich of the shell pieces. If you need more advice on working with foam, I recommend looking up fur suit head tutorials or videos from drag queens discussing how to make padding. You need foam, not Polyfill, to make a shape that holds together when the body cavity is empty.

THE FILLING

If this is just a plushie, now is when you can sew most of the shell to the lower half of the body, add the teeth and the ears, and stuff like most any plushie. For the puppet though... your work is just starting.

If you want to make this a puppet, you'll need to make a mouth out of cardboard with a scored hinge, and straps for your fingers and thumb out of duct tape. There's tutorials elsewhere for how to make a Muppet-style puppet elsewhere and this is already HILARIOUSLY long, so check those out. I recommend adding a little narrow piece of cardboard on the top, just past where the pads of your fingers sit, to help 'grip' the puppet mouth when manipulating it. This can just be taped on.

Once the mouth is assembled, sew 3/4th of one side of the shell to one side of the belly/side piece we made earlier, leaving space but the nose for the mouth to be glued in. It'll look almost like a clam, with the white shell piece as the top hinge and the belly/side/legs as the bottom hinge. Cut a ~5 inch wide strip of your 1 inch thick foam and form a large 'ring' inside Numby right around where his front legs sit. It needs to be a continuous piece because we'll be relying on the tension of the foam wanting to lay flat but being forced into a ring to give us structure. Trim the sharp edges, glue the ends together, and pin the legs to the foam to help it dry in place.

Above is an image of me grabbing the foam circle - note that the 'throat' and 'belly' are totally empty.

Use more foam to fill out the sides of the puppet, again placing the pieces behind the legs to coax them to stick out. I also put a little bit of foam under Numby's chin where the fabric sticks out - glue that piece to the cardboard just past where your thumb rests on the lower jaw mechanisms. Hand-sew the other side but leave the snout open. Below are some more photos of the hollow inside, showing the upholstery foam (white and green)

For the ears on the puppet, I cut a single long piece of heavy-gauge wire I had laying around into a U shape, carefully bending the cut ends so that they were no longer sharp. Cut tiny slits in the white shell fabric at the front of where you want your ears to sit. Thread this wire into one ear, then through the hole in the shell. Glue/tape the bend of the U to the outside top part of the cardboard jaw, then repeat on the other side with the other ear.

Handsew the ears to the white shell, the teeth to the lower jaw of the puppet, and attach the puppet mouth to both top and bottom. Glue on the purple fabric to the ears and the inside of the mouth, and there you go!

Please feel free to reach out with questions! Happy sewing!

Hii hiii moreeee scenarios aaaaaahhh what are your thoughts on woozi's s/o being independent and a workaholic like woozi? like the members tease him that she is his karma in terms of overworking hahahaha and maybe woozi clinging or whining that she is also a workaholic

woozi with a workaholic partner! ✧˖°.

this is so cute

it's past midnight already, so woozi saves his work and leaves his studio, headed straight to your home!

when he gets there, he walks over to your room to see you're not even there!

instead, he notices how colored lights and soft music is coming from underneath your office room door (imagine you have your own office in your house)

he knocks on the door before walking in

and you're seated at the desk, typing into your keyboard

"hey, i'm home," he says, and you swiftly turn to look at him, sparing him a smile before going back to your work

"welcome home, ji"

"you're still working? it's almost 1am," he says, pulling up a seat to sit next to you

"yep, still busy," you say, sorting through the things on your monitor

"maybe we should head to bed?" he suggests slowly, pouting his lips.

"you can go ahead. i'm not done with this yet," you smile, not parting your eye contact you have with the monitor

he kind of sits there and looks at you, amazed

he contemplates in his head

he wants to be an understanding boyfriend who lets you do whatever you want, whenever you want

but also... a part of him wants to drag you to bed because he doesn't want to go to sleep alone after his long day of work

"y/n, i think you should call it a night..," he says slowly, kind of dragging out his words

"i still have to get through all of these tasks, i'm sorry," you say, turning to look at him

you give him a kiss on the cheek before going back to your thing

he thinks about how you're such a workaholic

he wonders "is this what the members think of me?" and "am i like this a lot?"

he looks around your well decorated office before turning over to you again

he gets up from his seat and walks over to the door, but before his hand reaches the knob, he tilts his head and then turns back around

"have you eaten?" he asks, walking towards you again

"yeah, some snacks," you say, pointing to the wrappers and soda cans you have in your trashcan

"have you eaten properly?" he asks, but feels the need to stop himself

who is he to scold you about this stuff when he doesn't take that good care of himself either?

"i'm not that hungry," you say, turning to look at him. "i've been drinking lots of water like you requested the other day, though."

he nods, looking at you

"are you going to bed now?" you ask, not turning back to your work just yet

"no, i'll just wait for you," he says, pursing his lips

"you really don't have to-"

"come on, let's go to bed togetherrr," he almost whines, which catches you off guard

you look at him, your eyes wide and your eyebrows furrowed

"are you... whining?" you say quietly, almost laughing

"i'm going to bed alone. goodnight," he says, walking to the door

but he stops again

he really wants you to go to bed with him

he walks over to you

picks you up (if you're not comfortable with that, he'll just firmly grab your forearm so you'll follow him)

and drags you over to your bedroom where he places you on your bed

"yah, i didn't even get to save my work," you say, in complete disbelief

"it's time for bed," he says, tucking you into your side of the bed underneath the blankets

he walks over to his side and gets into the bed, pulling you so your head is resting on his chest

"you work too much, y/n," he says, scoffing

"me? working too much? that's crazy coming from you," you smirk, relaxing into him

"take breaks sometimes. let's both not be workaholics sometimes. plus, don't let me go to bed alone," he says the last part quietly, almost sarcastically, but you know he means it

thank you so much for requesting, anon! feel free to request many, many more things from me ✧( ु•⌄• )◞◟( •⌄• ू )✧

(p.s. requests are still open! i specialize in woozi stuff, but i don't mind writing about other svt members! i can also do some nsfw if you want! so request whatever and as much as you want! ς(>‿<.))

hmmm I can't remember if I made a post about the two different layers on which our system operates so imma do it again.

We have the top layer that we talk about, where we have all of our different named members and their sometimes overlapping identities, but underneath that we have the color layer.

The color layer is made up of parts and fragments and more simple, base level brain functions (I call it the color layer because a lot of more general pieces of it have strong color associations. idk if it's just synesthesia or what but. whatever lol). But these are the actual building blocks of our system, and i think our brain as a whole.

The main parts of the color layer are (or in some cases were; it's a little hard to tell where some of them are and whether or not they have fused); Sky (Green), Sable(Black), Mika (Pink), Grey, and mTau (Yellow). (Those first three have names because they are actually the first pieces of our system the N met when she discovered we were plural; we're not really sure how solid some of the top layer identities were before the point where she met them. Taylor, for instance, started out as a fragment before fusing with another fragment to get where she is now. Four turned into KK (who was Mika but also light blue) before she fused into Chloe). These different pieces contain different parts of our identity and history. Green is our caretaker tendencies, Black is rebellious, righteous anger, and Pink is our little. Grey is actually a dissociative barrier that surrounds those three, as well as I think some loose unnamed parts (while also in some ways being a protector for our system as a whole). Yellow is actually on the other side of that barrier, and I think that's because it contains some bad shit from our teenage years (high school bullshit, gender dysphoria stuff, and maybe some other stuff. the primary reason i think that is because Ash is yellow and so is mTau but we'll get to that in a sec).

So the color layer contains more basic pieces of our identity, and each identity on the top layer (which again is where we have our properly named and defined members) each draw from or contain sections of these parts from the color layer. Sky is, well, Green. Leo is mostly Grey. Sierra is pretty much all Black. mTau is all Yellow, Ash and Ren are both part Yellow and part Black. N is a lot of Green, and so is Emma, though they both contain other small parts. Saai is yellow too. Like half of our masculine identifying and masc leaning parts are yellow (Leo and Alyx are an exception, though Alyx is bigender). There are strange associations like that. A lot of Green headmates use She/They, it seems to have some correlation to gender identity.

At some points though it gets really hard to tell who's who and what's what. Like Four was initially Silver, and then when she broke apart and those formed KK they were a Light Blue, and then now Chloe is definitively Red. Idk if those are just unrelated synesthesia things or if they are smaller parts in the color layer that just never got properly identified. And like Dizzy was partially Black (all the Emo Kids contain Black) but we also associated her with purple, but that association disappeared when she fused into Chloe. Was purple just a color she liked? Does Chloe contain Purple, or is Purple now a loose unaffiliated part in the color layer? No idea tbh. Doesn't seem to be around anymore though.

The color layer is also more varied tho. I think some of the pieces in there are just loose memories. I think there might be one in there, completely isolated, from a pretty bad car crash we were in when we were 12. Just a loose part containing those few seconds of memory. Interestingly I think that part is a shade of Light Blue but was unaffiliated with KK, who was also Light Blue.

Honestly who knows. Brain works in weird ways. I try to understand and I'm kinda the member of our system who keeps track of all this but like. fuck dude i dunno. brain works weird who knows. I'm just out here doing my best.

#plural #plural gang #weird shit that I hope makes sense lmao #it's just an interesting thing I've noticed about the way that our brain works and interacts within itself #-moth🌙

plays the drums! she's not super serious about it but it's a fun hobby, and she's teaching fef!

the shortest of them all 0u0

tends to go on long rambles about whatever she's interested in (none of the others mind at all)

her sleep schedule is even stranger than nepeta's. sometimes she'll just get up at 2am for absolutely no reason

she scares the shit out of the others by doing this

she's practically silent when she moves. you CANNOT hear her walk and she WILL sneak up on you

sollux:

what the fuck is this bitch's gender

like genuinely what is happening

ALWAYS sneezes twice. without fail. the others keep notes on it

wears cat ear headphones

semi-ironically uses brainrot speak. he thinks it's funny and the others play along with it a lot

again with the gender because. what is going on.

loves to wear a bunch of different colors. leans towards primaries when he's lazy about his outfits

he speaks Spanish. idk if troll Spanish exists but yeah

no one can tell if his love for the bee movie is ironic or not

ok this is the last time but I'm still confounded by his gender. he is an enigma to me

regularly calls the others his weed smoking girlfriends

and yes he has the entire post memorized

nepeta:

sorry guys this cat is a butch I don't make the rules

soft butch to be exact!

strong!!! she's more speed and agile strength as opposed to aradia's maximum strength

wears bronze jewelry :]

they're all kind of insane. strange creatures.

they all play video games together!!!

all of them are either underdressed or overdressed. the in between is almost non-existent

they're those guys who will say something completely nonsensical and go "EXACTLYYYYY" to each other

all of em got funky genders actually

they're all idiots. also. like between the 4 of them there is maximum 2 and a half braincells.

they also have dumb nicknames for each other

fef called aradia "the radio" one time and now everyone does it. including aradia sometimes

if they're being sweet they'll call sollux honeybee. they also call him salt boy sometimes

nepeta gets mostly cat related nicknames: catnip, meow meow. they also call her lesion from time to time because someone mispronounced her last name

feferi often gets called princess. this can be either very sweet or very jokingly condescending. she'll also be called their beautiful princess with a disorder from time to time

whenever one of them gets a vocal stim, it spreads. FAST.

sometimes they'll just hang out in a pile for funzies

they like to listen to music together and they have a group playlist

sollux kept adding too many joke songs to it so they made a new playlist just for that purpose

party rock anthem is on there 20 times

15 hours of whale song too

you can probably guess who added that one

it's terrifying when they're all hyperfixating on the same thing at once

Hello Ryu!! I hope you're having a great...whatever time it is for you! And I hope you're taking care of yourself! Your posts are one of the highlights of my day! No matter if they're art or replies.

And um, if it's ok, idk how we ask this, but would you put that recent-ish Skully fanart on your Ko-fi please? The one with the pumpkin? I hope I'm not being rude. I adore your fanart. And Skully. And Skully in your art style.

Anyway you're one of my fave fanartists! Have a great rest of the day!

Anon, this is so incredibly sweet, thank you so much! I am very happy to hear that you enjoy this blog and that it makes your day a little better. It truly means a lot.

To answer your question: YES, ABSOLUTELY, I just added it to the shop!! I am extremely happy to hear that you liked that drawing!

Also just in case: you are not being rude! I don’t update the shop very often because I am not sure if people are interested in new high-res pngs, so you expressing that you’d like to have it is super helpful. So if you ever want me to put anything else there, just let me know in any way you want – an ask, a DM, anything.

OOh LOVE the new theme and pfp! 💚

I really adore how you do colors and lighting! So pretty~

OH GOD! A LAYOUT CHANGE!

How Shocking, How Scandalizing... I fear I may never recover!

Hehe thank youuuu~ I’m glad to hear you like it! >:3c It’s Sebastian 2.0!

Katsu suddenly suggested to redraw the pfp, so I did it, and we updated the layout a little bit to match it. I don’t recognise myself in our feed anymore lol

Anonymous asked:

Thank you for answering my ask! For me personally it’s that past experiences has made my relationship with anything nsfw or sexual very very confusing and emotional, but I don’t wanna be like this forever. I think maybe art could be a good way to try and sort through it but it feels hard to start. I think part of what you said could be the start though, that it doesn’t have to be anything big or even show genitalia.

Thank you very much! -💜🌹

(this is related to this post)

No problem, Anon!

I understand what you mean; your past experiences could make you very hesitant to do things even if you really want to do them and they are not harmful to anyone, or to have bad associations and even triggers. Figuring out your level of comfort also could be more difficult if you are still influenced by the consequences of those past experiences… Still, I think it’s wonderful that you want to work on that and to make yourself feel better and more comfortable, to clear things up for yourself – I don’t doubt for a moment that you will be able to handle it, even if it takes time.

Starting with little steps is great I think, it’s like dipping your toes before diving in.

I wish you all the luck and patience in the world.

Yeah… a regular stroke and a heatstroke! That’s too much for a poor mermaid’s heart :”(

I need Che'nya to screw Riddle til he's drooling and whining. A little fun to de-stress. I wish there was more stuff about them ;-;

Anon you are so right, there really is almost no stuff with these two!! Such a shame!!

Like you said, Che’nya would be great for Riddle in terms of de-stress. Sometimes this boy needs to get fucked until he can’t even stand and speak properly anymore…

I should draw them at some point, sigh.

Anonymous asked:

I read your most recent set of replies and got curious as to how Unsweetened Lemonade applies to Malleus and Lilia. Could you go into more depth about that, if you don't mind?

To be honest, Anon, I don’t really have a lot to say about it, I’m basing it off vibes for the most part lol

Bittersweetness + disappointment, the feeling of tiredness, of cheating death, “a winner but at what cost” type of feeling. I could be completely wrong, of course.

Once again, I am not the best person to tie songs with characters, or at least I never dive too deep into it and don’t usually analyse lyrics, just do the “well if you squint” thing.

l1l dev1l gives me the worst 2nd hand embarrassment and i don’t even follow her. But sometimes people will share her things or IG thinks i should see her posts because someone I folllw does. Her persephone doll…… none of the joints work on the casted version, the “professional” version, and she is still trying to sell it for $550 USD???? it doesn’t even look like a finished doll because of the sculpting ability! The eyes don’t look like they have proper eyewells so that the eyes can fit properly. This isn’t a style choice. People complain here that “oh don’t like don’t look” (i decided to block before sending this because insta clearly wants me to see her stuff…) or “dont make fun of beginner artists” (i don’t consider this making fun. But just expressing shock and dismay.), or “people complain about this all the time”. it’s a confession blog! my confession is i don’t understand how she thinks $550 USD is normal for her work.

I also want to know: who is even buying her things? her marketing is so very bad. Her dolls are never posed well or dressed appealing, and flop everywhere. You can tell the joints are bad because the doll can’t even hold a sitting pose without looking cast to the side. My friend showed me a story of hers. She writes everything in fonts that you can’t even see????(Maybe too that’s why the colors she picks for her resin colors aren’t appealing?) It’s probably better that she sticks to just selling her files on websites and not trying to get casted things, because she’s going to be stuck with a lot of dolls and a lot of money wasted if she keeps going this way. There is no improvement either in her sculpting, because it seems like she doesn’t focus, she just keeps making, but not keeping the lessons from the last one. Maybe take a sculpting class. There is some on skillshare or youtube for free!

People complain that we are too hard on novice doll makers. I don’t think so. I think everyone pretty much agrees if you’re just making a doll for yourself that it is fine, do whatever, and it doesn’t matter how messy or beginner it looks. It’s the selling and “toxic positivity”. L1l dev1l doesn’t have any true friends if she is showing them this work and they are not stopping her, helping her. Critique is important! Even if it is said with vinegar. It hurts but you have to look at why people said that!!!! Immediately trying to sell a $550 USD resin doll who can’t stand (looks very heavy, joints don’t fit well, no balance, casted resin is different than printed resin. Printed resin has different friction!) will lead to failure. But by all means keep making and creating things you like, but stop forcing yourself to make it just so you can sell it. It might take you years to make a doll that is good enough to sell for $550 USD. Start small and only cast one or two for yourself, maybe even at home, so you can fix issues.

Stop rushing things!

A rant about scrolling, changing UI and changing mediums of visual entertainment arts

Tldr: i dislike change and scrollable formats, i feel like converting graphic mediums is disrespecting the original and i might have some sort of diagnosis for feeling like this

So i have not been watching anything on netflix for a few months now and when i came back i was appaled by the new ui. It's just so much worse than before. Why do i have to scroll through my library in single file like a fucking idiot? I have probably 50+ shows and movies on there, do you really expect me to sit there with the stupid ass remote scrolling for 10 minutes to find my show? Give me my gallery style back. It was so much easier to find stuff and manage your library. Not to mention that i need to scroll up to the top to go to another category instead of just going one row up/down and then to the left to my sidebar. Now in the new dumbass fucking ui version you have to go through 6 identical rows of bullshit to get from "movies" to "tv shows" or "my list" or god forbid you try to search something...

I will now go on a tangent...

But i HATE how everything is made to be scrollable these days. This is a scrollable design. Before it was kinda scrollable now it's ONLY scrollable. I really don't think that's ok. I also dislike how some stuff is changing format to be scrollable, like webtoons. Specifically i hate the change of format. Yes, you can call me an "old man yelling at cloud" but visual art has it's intents and purposes and as VISUAL art relies heavily on the VISUAL ASPECT of the thing. For example... (people already hate me for it) Fullmetal alchemist webtoon edition. I understand people like color and that someone likes webtoons over manga but there is something so wrong to me in disassembling someones work which was made with one intention and making it into something else. Manga has rules and panel placement and design on the page has a huge impact in how you read it. Pages make it so you don't jump to thr next panel/part of story that the author does not want you to see just yet maybe and double page spreads have a huge impact because the pages ARE such a limiting factor. Taking all that effort to make it fit in a page and then dissolving it to one panel per your whole phone screen (where most of the screen is probably white or some color) is insane to me. I just don't understand it.

And vice versa. Printing webtoons in comic book format is also weird to me because you, again, disassemble and reasemble the work made for one format to fit another. I've read Lore Olympus and bought the first book because i wanted to own it in print but when i got it somethinh just felt off. I remember scenes in that that i had to scroll 3 phone lenghts to see whole and i don't know how you print that in a book. What, 3 pages, 4, 5? Just the top or bottom part of two like a long strip flipped hirizontal? Do you cut it? What's the plan here? It's just not the same to me. If i had a way to print scrolls i would print webtoons in scrolls. Because that's the way they were meant to be read. If there are rules i want them to be followed and it's very frustrating to me to see them not followed.

I love webtoons (even tho scrolling to read makes me nauseous sometimes) and i love manga and comics... but i love them for what they are BECAUSE of the mediums they were made in. People are ok with the statement that some manga can never be properly adapted to anime or books to tv shows or games to tv and vice versa for all of these but the second i say i don't think you should do that for manga and webtoons people go batshit and call me a hater. A hater of change, a hater of long strip format, a hater of webtoons... maybe i am, and maybe you just don't want to talk about it so you just call me names.

In the end (if anyone read this) if you are someone who reads manga/comics on your phone, pc, ereader or whatever in the way that all your pages are in one long strip and you scroll from page 1 of a chapter to page 26 of a chapter in a long, mangled, manga page human caterpillar style... please tell me why. And if someone has later volumes of Lore Olympus and knows what i was talking about earlier, do tell me how they printed those long scenes in the books.

Hi! What led you to representing children's books over say adult fiction? Did you always have more of an affinity for younger books? I think you mentioned you like some grownup books like maybe romance?. Do you think you'd enjoy repping them too? And why is there kind of a split between the two - is the industry just structured like that so they're separate? Is this also why some agents rep fiction and not non-fiction and vice versa?

I have been a bookseller specializing in children's books since I myself was a tween, literally more than thirty-five years -- that's really my area of expertise.

Why? Because when I was a kid / young teenager, I helped out in the bookstore my older sister owned; I was young enough that I still read kids and YA books, and have always loved them. Then I went out and got my first Real Jobs in bookstores when I was an older teenager, already with a bookstore background.

And here's the thing about a lot of bookstores: Some (many) booksellers who specialize in adult books are AFRAID of the kids section. (In fact, a lot of non-bookseller grownups who don't have kids or read kids books are, too!) When people who aren't used to it look at that section, they see a bunch of confusing colors, they don't know what they are looking at or how to find appropriate material, they can't recommend things because they aren't familiar with them, they don't know how to shelve things properly because they don't understand how they are filed, etc.

When you are a young bookseller, at least in my experience, you often get "stuck" with the jobs that the older people don't want to do. Stuff like vacuuming, taking out the trash, shelving children's books. I happen to love children's books -- so I was glad to take over the children's section in every store I worked in. And the other booksellers were glad to not have to go in there. And thus, my fate was sealed!

The childrens and grownup divisions of publishers are VERY separate. Completely different editors at each, there is essentially zero cross-pollination (except a couple of imprints do "New Adult/YA/Adult crossover" books, but those are VERY few, and I don't really rep that kind of book anyway!).

To be clear -- the job of Agent is essentially the same for both markets! So if an adult offer comes to me for one of my authors, as it has in the past, I am fine repping it, negotiating the contract, whatever. But I simply don't read enough on the adult side to know the nuances of difference between different imprints, I have never met most of the editors, etc. So for ME, it would be onerous to shop a grownup book -- I'd have to have a really compelling reason to want to do that. There ARE agents who know a lot about both markets and are happy to actively play in both sandboxes -- I'm just not one of them!

While I do read some grownup books for pleasure, particularly romance and narrative nonfiction -- it wouldn't really be a pleasure if they were my work, you know? I don't want to rep them. If I wanted to, I would. (I don't, so I don't.)

(Presumably, the same goes for an agent who mostly does Nonfiction, or never does nonfiction, or WHATEVER -- we CAN do any categories we want, but we want to play to our own strengths! If you don't know jack about Nonfiction, maybe that's not your strength!)
