DAY 9 — THREESOME

kinktober 2023. — masterlist | ao3

𖧡 — including — neuvillette & wriothesley (together)

𖧡 — warnings — fem! reader, threesome, tit sucking, lots of teasing, i think their dynamic works so well for this, they're a little jealous and want you to themselves, some bickering from wriothesley's side but neuvillette really doesn't give a damn

taking on a lustful shape over your spread out body, wriothesley watches you eagerly when you wince out the first time neuvillette outlines your walls with his large cock, a breathless and flirtatious snicker resounding like deep, impactful strikes from the duke's throat— he cannot fathom that this was happening right now, and neither could you, but here you were being pleasured by two strong, threatening men touching your skin and awakening an emotion like fiery steel on your flesh and spirit.

"you do realize, dear iudex." wriothesley suddenly speaks out, a masculine voice entering your system as he stops in midst his slurred sentencing, secretly wanting to be the one who's rushing his shaft into you instead because— you can feel it then, immediately notice that the man fully needed you on his own, carnally, couldn't help himself but desire you, lasciviously.

"—that there should always be enough preparation before doing that." he doesn't even look at the man while overflowing with cocky attitude, instead leaning his head to your chest while you desperately gripped and tightened your legs around neuvillette's waist to somehow manage to take his blows the right way, but you're almost holding him hostage this way, fuck and it only serves to make him dizzy.

following your doings, a ravaging whine ripples through your body as the piercing thrusts on your dripping core never stop as neuvillette rides out everything with his swelling erection, barely being able to restrain himself until he was allowed to stick up your pussy with copious amounts of white ropes of creamy cum splattering all over your walls— and of course, his thrusts are slow, precise, the dragging of a thick shaft touching your silken insides for what felt like a sweet, blissful eternity.

neuvillette hums back at the duke, the noise forming an absent response on its own before he decides to follow up the silence departing from his throat, "you do not need to lecture me about this." he drawls back before immediately turning his attention back to you, controlling the buck of his hips but adding enough strength that your ass jiggles from the contact, "but i do appreciate it." and still, considerably he pulls out his cock, yet despite leaving the tip in, the fat head separating your slit effortlessly that it felt like he never really pulled all those inches out of you in the first place.

"just making sure, y'know." wriothesley notices a little film of annoyance on neuvillette's facial expression and mentally applauds himself, a slow, cocky grin touching up his lips— whilst sloppy kisses were now located on your chest as he mouths wet spots on your exposed breasts.

you cannot help yourself and have to shoot your eyes down at him to see for yourself, simply feeling him suckle on your mounds wasn't enough anymore— and it's comfortable, soul crushing when his dark hair tickles your wet cheeks as he continues with his lovely intrigues, serving you dutifully to make you tremble underneath his large body menacing on top, placing soused, warm kisses on your breasts before targeting your nipples next, using your tit as he pleases with his tongue rolling out expertly, dragging the flat of his wet muscle around your sensitivity before noticing a shudder on your chest.

his pink muscle was never faltering, not once, because he likes that you're unraveling way too fast, which, granted, wasn't a surprise to the duke because bare in mind, he knows what you need— specifically how you wanted your tits to be played with before he was grabbing the flesh of your mounds and putting one in his sweltering mouth, every lick and suck biting your core and rising the temperature on your sex.

at the present time, the persistent pleasure both of them fucked into you reaches your entire frame— for once, on your chest chasing the friction of wriothesley's rough tongue licking over the warmth, weighty tears magnifying around your eyes as your blurred psyche loses all rational thinking skills while your pussy was suddenly being spread apart again.

in the blink of an eye, neuvillette lands a harsh smack on your aching sex, following the sticky trail of his shaft being imbedded by your translucent arousal and throbbing between the slickness of your walls constricting around him all too well, and your moans— like a honeyed melody out of a perfect symphony, pillowing a scarlet red on his bristling cheeks.

the iudex doesn't need anyone to tell him how it's done— because behind wriothesley's back, there have been plenty encounters before where it had been just the two of you, encircled around each other, deep sighs entering the room as he rounds his heavy arms on your body, murmuring sweet nothing into your ears, his voice lowered and allied with gravel alike, rasping at a clear spot on your brain that was in control of your lascivious drive when you welcome his smoldering touch so helplessly it's almost embarrassing in hindsight.

while now, he sadly cannot have it the way he'd ultimately prefer it to be but that doesn't mean he wasn't enjoying the mess evolving in front of his ocean eyes picking up each of your shivers, storing them into the back of his brain so he could visualize it whenever he might require it.

what neuvillette wouldn't admit to anybody was that he does like seeing you being played with while it's him who has you entered, who has his cock locked deep inside your sweet, dripping cunt. besides, wriothesley does a good job, he has to admit, how you're whining and begging to feel release, or bliss— clenching your arms around the duke's head while he was lapping his tongue around your breast feverently, one hand sneakily finding the other to touch the hot skin while drool fills his mouth at your lewd noises, selfishly sucking more.

it's not all too bad, right? because neuvillette likes what he sees, and at least he can watch at your adorable face changing expressions and listen to your velvety moans rush across the humid embrace of the room, bumbling off the walls and vibrating around his large cock rocking forward, letting his girth roll itself against your wet warmth that he fucks his way into your little entrance with enough motivation that will keep him satiated for days— and at last, he needs to relish in it again, meaning the sounds, those final tunes of you, or the ones of raw skin on skin rippling around you, ultimately making him go faster and faster, better and finer the louder they would get.

you made it

leah williamson x reader

last fic of 2023 (at least from where i am)

i want to thank all who’ve read all that i’ve put out this year and all the mutuals i’ve made. i appreciate each and every one of you.

hope you all have a happy new year!

———

Leah Williamson, the captain of England who led her team to victory in the Euros, was rushing through the streets of London, rushing to get back home, apologizing to all she runs into.

Leah was invited to a ‘party’ with many other athletes all the way in New York. She’d told her agent to decline the invitation, but she couldn’t get out of it. She usually had a plus one with her, but not tonight.

‘Who would throw an event like this on New Year’s Eve?’ She thought.

After winning the Euros, the captain was invited to even after event, hardly any breaks in between on top of her ACL recovery. Finding some time for herself is rare, but not impossible. She makes it work. But right now, her priority is to get home as soon as possible.

—

Leah is back home in Milton Keynes at some neighborhood party time ring in 2018. She’s just sign her senior contract for Arsenal a couple months back and is at an all time high.

Mingling around the house with people her age, she decided to step outside a bit for some space. Walking towards the pool, she sees someone sat on the edge of it.

“Think I could join you?” Leah asked rather timidly.

“Go ahead.” You gestured to the spot next to you.

Leah mirrors you, taking her shoes and socks off, splashing her feet in the water a bit. When you finally turn your head towards her, her breath got caught in her throat.

‘Beautiful’ She thought.

Talking to you was like a breath of fresh air to Leah. It was as if she knew you for longer than the hour you both sat by the pool. You both weren’t aware of the time until you heard everyone else inside counting down.

Leah looks a bit nervous when you turned your head towards her, so you placed your hand on her arm.

Leah however, was even more nervous now. Your touch sent sparks throughout her body, something she’s never felt before.

Leah turns her whole body to face you, where you were already looking at her. She timidly reaches over and delicately places a hand on your cheek, leaning her face closer.

“May I?” She asks in a whisper.

You hold her wrist, the one by your face and lean in, closing the gap.

Your lips were soft, molding perfectly with Leah’s. She closes her eyes, relishing in the moment. After what felt like forever, you pulled away, much to Leah’s disappointment.

“Wow.” Was the first thing Leah said, seeing a blush creep up onto your cheeks, her cheeks doing the same.

You bite your bottom lip to stop the corner of your lips from rising. You get up from the side of the pool, grabbing your shoes, Leah copying.

“Thank you for the New Year’s kiss.” You say, backing away from where Leah is rooted from her spot.

“Thank you for letting me.” She replied. Just before you left, she called out to you. “I don’t even know your name!”

All you gave her was a smile and a wink, disappeared from her view.

New Year’s Eve 2019 was a bit similar as the year before. She was back in Milton Keynes, but stayed to celebrate back at home. Her mum invited a few friends.

It was nearing midnight, a minute before the clock struck twelve when she felt a tap on her shoulder.

“Fancy seeing you here.”

Leah smirked, leaning close. “It is my mum’s house.”

“Touché.”

You were each other’s New Year’s kiss for the second time in a row. But before you disappeared again, she caught your hand, pulling you incredibly close to her body.

“Would you want to go on a date?”

“You don’t even know my name.”

“Do you know mine?”

You shook your head side to side.

“Y/N.”

“Y/N. Beautiful.”

“Yours?”

“Leah.”

“Well, Leah. It looks like you’ve got yourself a date.”

—

Right when Leah got off the plane, she rushed out the building, hoping to quickly catch a cab, which she fortunately got into one.

Sitting in the back seat, she checks her watch.

11:38

Twenty-two minutes until midnight.

“Is there a way around the traffic?” She asks the driver.

“It’s New Year’s Eve. Everyone’s trying to get home.”

She knows London like the back of her hand, and knew she was close to home, so she quickly pays the man, thanking him, and runs off, passing all the cars.

11:50

She runs a bit faster, already seeing her street from where she is. Many people staring at her, but she didn’t care, she just had to get home.

11:55

She was only a couple of streets away, making her more determined than ever. She’d be damned if she didn’t make it in time.

11:59

Arriving at the front door, she pats all her pockets, looking for her keys. She can hear everyone around the neighborhood counting down.

She rapidly knocks on the door, hoping for it to just magically open. It did right when the clock struck midnight.

You were, however, caught off guard when you feel lips pressed onto yours, about to push the person away when a familiar pair of arms wrapped around your waist.

Wrapping your own arms around her neck, you deepen the kiss, cheers and fireworks can be heard in the background, neither of you paying any mind.

Pulling away, she rests her forehead against your, the both of your catching your breath.

“You made it.” Your voice was soft, not wanting to break the bubble you two are in.

“You’ve been my New Year’s kiss since 2018, I’d be damned if I ever missed one.” Leah pulls you back in for another kiss, before kneeling down and giving your bump a soft kiss. “It’s also our last one as a family of two.” She looks up at you from her kneeling position.

“Oh, how I love you so much.”

Some things I’ve noticed on my second viewing of “Five Nights at Freddy’s” (2023)

(Some of these are obvious, don’t @ me, I’m autistic and I had work the day I first watched the film so my brain was all over the place)

Once again, SPOILERS ARE UNDER THE CUT, PLEASE DONT READ IF YOU ARE AVOIDING SPOILERS!!!!

On my first viewing I thought that showing the security guard at the very start loosening the bolts of the chair straps was a fake out to make us believe he’d escape, but actually he loosened the bolts which is how Mike was able to escape later on

Just want to say that the opening credits are fucking cool and I love them so much

In my previous post about things in the FNAF movie, I incorrectly said there was no Golden Freddy - Golden Freddy is in fact in the film, he’s the one who goes to the house/kills Aunt Jane/is in the taxi

Following on from the above point, I said last time that I thought the cupcake was the fifth ghost child but I actually think it’s Golden Freddy to be honest - the blonde girl was obviously Chica, the boy with the bunny ears was Bonnie, the ginger boy was Foxy, and then there was the blonde boy and another boy with a top hat on. I originally thought that the blonde boy who wore the brown shirt was Freddy because he seemed like the leader, but now I’m wondering if the boy with the top hat was Freddy and the leader boy was in fact Golden Freddy (given his blonde hair)? I’m interested to hear what everyone else thinks

This is obvious but the doctor foreshadowed the ending because she told Mike that drawings are powerful tools for children to express things and understand things, and that’s exactly how Abby communicated to the gang at the end that Afton was responsible for their deaths

^side note but as an early years practitioner at a nursery/for preschool children, it’s actually true that pictures are used to help children learn things even before they can read, write or talk. I don’t know, it just interested me to be like “oh yeah that’s true!!”

There was not that much focus on Mike’s dad, like he was seen so briefly compared to his mom, which makes me wonder if there’s something to it that might be revealed in a future film. Like maybe his “dad” isn’t his dad or something? Because in the game canon, William is his father, so… I don’t know. I also saw someone else point out that in the training video Mike watched, there was a man working on the animatronics who maybe looked like the actor playing Mike’s dad, so maybe his dad worked there with the animatronics?

The film appears to be set in 2000; I’m 90% sure the security cam of Mike in the careers office showed the date as being in 2000, but if someone else can clarify or confirm the exact date then that would be great. It would make sense though because Garret presumably went missing around the same time as the ghost kids (in the 80s), so the film being set in the present day (meaning Mike would be in his 50s) would make zero sense. Also the mobile phones/computers all seem like they come from the early 2000s

Someone on Twitter pointed out that one of Abby’s drawings on her wall appeared to be a red airplane, which could just be an indication/foreshadowing of her knowledge of Garret’s disappearance (his toy airplane) but also someone else said it could have been 9/11 which….?!?! If this film is set in 2000, then that’s FUCKED

(I think it’s either a random drawing or to do with Garret’s toy tbh but the idea of her having foresight of 9/11 is fucking horrifying)

I’m still not totally sure which animatronic the gang were going to force Abby into, like it’s one with spring locks and at first I thought it might be Circus Baby but it doesn’t really look like her. It looks almost like a marionette or something? And I mean, yeah, it could be that they changed the design a bit but they literally stayed faithful to the designs of all the animatronics in the series so… you know.

Desperate to know if Matthew Lillard is aware of the fact that his DILF status has been multiplied by one hundred after this film like can someone check in on him and see if he’s alright? 💀 the FNAF girlies fans are frankly RABID about Afton

On that note, I wonder if Josh Hutcherson or Matthew Lillard have ever played any FNAF games, like were they fans before being cast or…? I really wish we could have content of them talking about the film or promoting it, but Hollywood refuses to pay their actors fairly so 🤷‍♀️

Listen, I ADORE both Josh and Matthew anyway but in this film I feel like Matthew especially stood out??? Maybe it’s just the character he’s playing but he ATE this role up (so did Josh but still)

I feel like the springlock scene was actually more terrifying upon a second viewing like at my first one I was like “that’s not as bad as I imagined” but this time I was like “holy shit he’s in agony” like his screams were PAINFUL to listen to

Speaking of painful to listen to, Freddy gave this really guttural and pained roar/scream at one point during the ending and it really made my heart hurt, it’s like the child inside of him was reliving the memory of their murder or something??? I can’t describe it but it was such an intense moment

I honest to god feel like I enjoyed it more on a second viewing and I don’t know why??? Maybe it’s just because the other people in my cinema weren’t laughing every five minutes but still.

I now have the urge to rewatch ALL of Markiplier’s playthroughs of ALL the FNAF games so… yep!

Once again begging for people to talk about FNAF because I’m not the most knowledgable on the series but I do enjoy it!

PLAYING FOR KEEPS

CHAPTER 9 – New Years

Summary: Ona Batlle has had a crush on Lucy Bronze for a little while now… how will it go when she joins Barça? A 10 chapter series.

Warnings: Slow burn, angst, fluff, smut. All the things, but I give this as a complete warning for the whole series. Not every chapter involves all the warnings :).

masterlist

Dec 2023 – Spain

The drive back to Barcelona felt longer than usual for Ona.

Though her Christmas with her family had been full of warmth and love; she’d missed them, of course, and the joy of being home had its own kind of magic. But, this year something had been different. Her heart and her thoughts had been elsewhere the entire time.

They had been with Lucy.

She had imagined what Lucy’s smile looked like on Christmas morning, wondered what it would’ve been like to share Christmas eve with her, what they would do with presents, if they would do them. They had texted each other, sure, but it wasn’t the same. The ache of being apart had settled deep, a constant reminder that this was the person she wanted to share everything with.

So when she finally returned to Barcelona, it was like the world clicked back into place.

Lucy was waiting for her, standing by her apartment with Narla, a wide smile lighting up her face the moment she spotted Ona with her little travel bag.

For Ona it felt like coming home in every possible sense.

The days after had blurred together in a beautiful dream. The two of them had fallen into a rhythm that felt perfect. They woke up together, walked the dogs, picked up pastries from the little bakery they loved, eating them outside on a bench or stone ridge, it was perfect.

But even mundane things like tidying up their apartments or running errands, felt easy, fun even, because they were doing it together.

But beyond the day-to-day bliss, there was also an not-so-unspoken heat between them. They spent time of time… uhm.. between the sheets, or.. in the shower, or.. on the couch.. or wherever else the moment led them. Every second together felt charged, full of a amount of love that they couldn’t seem to contain. It was like the outside world had stopped existing, leaving only the two of them in this perfect, intimate bubble.

Today was different, though.

It was December 31st. The last day of the year. Yesterday they had discussed some plans to end this year and start 2024 perfectly.

Ona stirred first, blinking as the soft morning light filtered through the curtains in Lucy’s bedroom. The warmth of Lucy’s arm draped over her waist made her smile as she carefully shifted to face her.

Lucy was still sound asleep, laying on her side, her mouth slightly parted, looking perfectly at peace. Ona couldn’t help but feel a wave of affection wash over her, watching the rise and fall of Lucy’s chest.

She gently brushed a few strands of hair from Lucy’s face, letting her fingertips graze her cheek. Lucy stirred slightly but didn’t wake. Ona smiled to herself, savoring the moment.

For a minute, it was as if time had slowed, all that mattered was Lucy. The woman she loved. The more she looked at this beautiful face, the more she was sure she wanted to spend the rest of her life waking up with this view.

As Ona’s mind drifted, thinking about how tonight would be the last night of the year and how they’d spend it together, Lucy’s arm tightened around her, pulling her in. Lucy blinked sleepily, a lazy grin tugging at her lips as she spotted Ona gazing at her.

“Mmm… morning,” Lucy mumbled, her voice husky with sleep. She rolled on top of Ona, burying her face in Ona’s neck. “Do we have to get up?”

“Yes, we do.’’ Ona chuckled softly, running her fingers through Lucy’s hair. ‘’We’ve made plans, remember? We have to get things ready for tonight.”

Lucy let out a soft groan, refusing to let go just yet. “We could just stay in bed all day,” she murmured, placing a gentle kiss on Ona’s collarbone. “Celebrate it our own way.” She said teasingly, rolling her hips against Ona playfully.

Ona rolled her eyes, a heavy chuckle sounding in her throat as she pressed a kiss to Lucy’s forehead. “We can’t. The dogs are going to revolt if we don’t walk them soon. Besides, we’ve got to go to the shop still, cook, clean up, eat, celebrate.” Ona trailed her fingers down Lucy’s back, ‘’but.. if you still have energy left after all of that...’’ She said suggestively, squeezing Lucy’s ass.

Lucy groaned again but sat up, reluctantly letting go of Ona. “Fine,” she sighed dramatically, “but only because I love you.”

Ona grinned. “I like that answer.”

Lucy chuckled, still sitting on top of Ona. Her eyes roamed Ona’s face, as if she had something to say.

“What?,” Ona asked with a smile.

Lucy reached down, brushing a hand through Ona’s hair. “I love you…” she paused, a small smile tugging at her lips, “and I have something for you.”

Ona blinked, her curiosity piqued. “Oh?”

Lucy shifted, climbing of her girlfriend, reaching over to the nightstand and pulling out a small, neatly wrapped box. “I was going to give it to you for Christmas, but, well… we both had to be with our families. So, I saved it for the first next special day.”

Ona propped herself up on one elbow, looking at Lucy with a mixture of surprise and affection. “You didn’t have to get me anything.”

“I wanted to,” Lucy replied softly, handing her the gift with a warm smile. ‘’Consider it a new years gift.’’

Ona took the box, her fingers lightly tracing the edges of the wrapping before carefully untying the ribbon. She lifted the lid and her breath caught slightly as she revealed a beautiful watch, sleek and elegant, with a subtle touch of gold around the edges.

“Luce…” Ona whispered, her eyes sparkling as she admired the gift. “Wow, I- ..thank you, it’s beautiful.”

Lucy smiled, propping herself up on her elbow next to Ona to be closer. “I saw it and thought of you. I wanted to give you something that you could wear. A little reminder of me, even when we’re apart.”

Ona’s eyes softened, she looked at the watch before looking back at Lucy. “I love it. I love you.”

Lucy smiled at her girlfriends reaction, she reached out, running her hand gently along Ona’s arm. “Here, let me help you put it on.”

Ona held out her wrist, her heart fluttering as Lucy’s fingers brushed lightly against her skin, fastening the watch with gentle precision. The simple act, Lucy’s soft touch and the quiet intimacy of the moment as they were silent until the strap was secured. It made Ona feel like everything in the world was exactly where it should be.

"But... I didn’t get you anything," Ona confessed softly, her voice tinged with guilt.

Lucy smiled, her hand sliding from Ona’s wrist to her cheek, caressing it gently. "You didn’t have to. We never talked about gifts, I just wanted to. Besides, you’re the best present I could ask for."

Ona’s heart melted at Lucy’s words. She leaned in, closing the distance between them until their lips met in a slow, tender kiss. Lucy’s sweetness overwhelmed her. Ever since that day of confessions, they had shared everything, no more hiding their feelings. Ona had realized just how much Lucy had been holding back and how deeply she felt for her. While they both were in love, Ona wondered if Lucy’s feelings were even stronger, sometimes almost overpowering in their intensity, like how Lucy could look at her so adoring it made her feel like she was the most precious gem stone or something. Their kiss lingered, deepening as they got lost in the warmth and affection they had for one another.

"I love you," Ona whispered, her forehead resting gently against Lucy’s as they broke the kiss, their breaths mingling.

"Mhm, I love you too," Lucy murmured, her thumb softly stroking Ona’s cheek. "I’m so happy you're my girlfriend now."

"Mmm, I am yours," Ona replied, smiling as she gently pushed Lucy onto her back, settling on top of her. "And you are mine."

Lucy groaned as Ona began to kiss her neck. "You’re definitely not acting like you want us to get out of bed."

‘’A few minutes more wont hurt.’’ Ona said, already breathing heavy as she trailed down Lucy’s neck, ‘’just don’t wake the dogs.’’

Lucy laughed, ‘’No, lets go do the things you wanted to do, hmm, go to the shop.’’ She started teasingly, ‘’cook, clean, celebrate and if you still have energy after alllll of that.’’ She squeezed Ona’s ass with both hands.

Ona propped herself up, looking at Lucy indignantly with an open mouth. ‘’Oh, you’re bad.’’

Lucy smirked, ‘’now you know how it feels.’’ She whispered before disappearing out of the bed.

Their morning routine was as effortless at it was the couple of days before. They got dressed and made the dogs ready for their morning walk.

The air outside was crisp and cool, the faint winter sun casting a glow over the city as they strolled along the quiet streets. During their walk they were talking about what food they wanted to make for the evening.

By the time they got back to Lucy’s apartment, they were ready to dive into everything. Ona took her coat and shoes off, and they let the dogs settle in their favorite spots while Lucy grabbed her iPad to help make a shopping list.

Lucy sat at the kitchen table, the iPad and a piece of paper in front of her. ‘’Oh babe can you-

‘’Grab a pen?’’ Ona chuckled, taking place on Lucy’s lap, with a pen in hand. ‘’Ofcourse.’’

Lucy smiled, wanting to take it from Ona. ‘’Thank y-

‘’Nuh-uh,’’ Ona shook her head, ‘’the cost is a kiss.’’

‘’Oh really?’’ Lucy chuckled, ‘’That’s a bargain, I’ll take a hundred then.’’

After a – not-so-short – distraction they refocused.

Together they scrolled through recipes and ideas.

“Ohhh, something like this charcuterie board?” Lucy asked, her finger hovering over a mouth-watering image of cheeses, olives, and slices of different sausages.

“Yes,” Ona nodded. “That one looks very good, it has some sweet things too.” She grabbed Lucy’s arm, in a moment of eureka ‘’ohhh, can we go by the chocolate shop.’’ She looked at Lucy with puppy eyes, ‘’get those truffle chocolates.’’

Lucy chuckled. “Ofcourse,’’ Leaning in to kiss her, ‘’anything my baby wants.” She murmured against Ona’s lips.

They continued planning out their list, sorting their groceries in order of the stores they were visiting. Every now and then, Lucy would kiss Ona’s temple or playfully bump her shoulder, drawing out a laugh from Ona. She was completely hooked. She was just so perfect.

“You’re distracting me,” Ona whined playfully, her finger hovering over the screen as Lucy kissed her cheek again.

“I can’t help it,” Lucy grinned. “You’re too cute when you’re in this.. focused mode.’’

With the shopping list finally complete, they bundled up again and headed out to the different stores.

The shopping street was bustling, full of other last-minute people preparing for their own New Year’s Eve celebrations, but Lucy and Ona didn’t even notice as they moved easily through the shops.

“Should we get a bottle of champagne?” Lucy asked, pointing at the liquor store.

Ona gave her a playful look. “I thought we said we weren’t going overboard.”

Lucy grinned and pulled Ona in the store’s direction anyways. “It’s New Year’s, we can have a little toast on us.”

Ona shook her head, laughing. “Alright.”

As they made their way through the streets and the stores, they found themselves stealing little moments. Some small kisses here and there, quiet whispers and at all times they would be connected, either interlinking their pinkies or Lucy guiding her with a hand on the small of her back, they couldn’t go a second without. It felt like they were in their own world, moving in sync.

When they got back to Lucy’s place, the dogs greeted them with excited barks, tails wagging as they darted around the apartment.

Laughing, Lucy set the grocery bags down and gave Narla a quick scratch behind the ears while Ona bent down to ruffle Coco’s fur.

After unpacking the groceries and washing their hands they dove into prepping the food. Lucy stood at the counter chopping vegetables, while Ona made slices of the cheeses and fuets.

They danced around each other effortlessly, moving in perfect sync, stealing quick glances and smiles between tasks. Every now and then, one of them would sneak a bite of food into the other’s mouth, giggling as they fed each other little samples of what was to come.

“You know,” Lucy said, looking around the kitchen as Ona finished setting up the charcuterie board, “this place is kind of a mess.” They had prepared an home-made soup, dips and spreads, sliced a baguette and their master project was the charcuterie board.

Ona raised an eyebrow and looked around as well. Not only the kitchen was a mess but the apartment, while cozy, was still marked by the remnants of Lucy’s family visit. It wasn’t a chaotic mess, but it definitely didn’t scream ‘romantic night in.’

“You’re not wrong,” Ona laughed softly, finishing up the last touches of a spread and putting it in the fridge. “We could move this party to my place if we want a proper clean slate.”

Lucy wiped her hands on a towel, smiling as she glanced over at Ona. “Exactly what I was thinking. We’ll finish here, pack everything up, and head over then. Have our romantic night at your place.”

Ona grinned, stepping closer until she had Lucy pinned between herself and the counter. “Romantic night, hmm?”

Lucy’s breath caught slightly, her smile widening. She placed her hands on Ona’s hips, pulling her closer until their bodies were pressed together. “Oh yeah,” Lucy said, her voice low and playful, “I’ve got plans.”

Before Lucy could lean in to kiss her, Ona pulled back just enough to tease, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. “Any specific plans you’d like to share?”

Grinning, Lucy cupped the back of Ona’s neck, her thumb brushing lightly over her skin. “Let’s just say you won’t be bored.” Her voice dropped to a soft whisper.

Ona chuckled, her lips brushing against Lucy’s, but she didn’t close the distance just yet. “Okay.. I’m curious,” she murmured, before finally leaning in to kiss Lucy.

They worked together to finish preparing the food, arranging everything carefully in containers so they could transport it. As they packed the charcuterie board and desserts into bags, Lucy grabbed a backpack and went to the bedroom to pack some nice clothes.

“I’m bringing something nice to wear,” Lucy said, seeing Ona’s curious look. “We did all this effort so we might as well go all out now.”

Ona smiled as she packed up the food. “Okayyy, I like it.”

Once everything was packed and ready, they gathered up the dogs, grabbed their bags, and headed out the door.

As they stepped into Ona’s place a minute later, the clean space felt welcoming. They put their things in the fridge and on the kitchen counter, ready to be eaten in a few hours.

“You think we have enough food?” Lucy asked laughing sarcastically, folding the empty bags.

Ona chuckled. “Well… I don’t know’’ she teased back, ‘’with you here.. hm, we might have to order food after this petite appetizer is finished.’’

After a quick walk around the block with the dogs, Ona and Lucy found themselves back on the couch.

The golden glow of the evening sun filtered through the windows, casting the apartment in a soft, dreamy light. They had some time left before dinner, though they still needed to shower and change into their nicer clothes.

The day spent together in the kitchen had left them both feeling tired apparently, and before long, they were curled up in each other’s arms. Ona laying comfortably on top of Lucy, both of them sinking into the warmth of the couch, nearly dozing off.

The steady rhythm of Lucy’s heartbeat beneath her cheek was enough to lull Ona into a light, peaceful haze.

That is, until Ona’s eyes suddenly fluttered open. “I have to pee,” she muttered quietly.

She carefully shifted off Lucy, trying not to disturb her too much, but Lucy woke up instantly, blinking at Ona with sleepy curiosity. “What are we going to do?” she asked, her voice slightly groggy.

Ona chuckled, shaking her head. “We aren’t going to do anything. You can stay right here. I’ll be back in a second.”

But Lucy wasn’t having it. She sat up, immediately following Ona. “Nooo,” Lucy whined playfully, reaching for her hand. “I want to be with you.”

Ona’s soft chuckle turned into a laugh as she gently nudged Lucy back onto the couch. “I’m just going to the bathroom. I think you’ll survive.”

Lucy flopped back dramatically, crossing her arms. “If you’re gone too long, I’ll die of loneliness.”

With a teasing roll of her eyes, Ona smiled and headed toward the bathroom, leaving Lucy behind with a pout.

A few minutes later, Ona returned and slipped back into her spot on the couch, settling against Lucy once again. They resumed their earlier position, Ona resting comfortably on top of her, their limbs entwined, the familiar warmth of Lucy’s body instantly soothing.

But as they cuddled, the soft conversation between them slowly shifted. Ona pressed some gentle kisses to Lucy’s neck, and the mood in the room began to change. Lucy sighed, her fingers brushing lightly against Ona’s arm, the casual touch making her shiver.

Ona shifted, leveling her face with Lucy’s. They looked in to each others eyes a couple of seconds before all they could think about was kissing eachother.

The kisses deepened, and Lucy’s hands found Ona’s back, pulling her closer. Their lips met in a slow, deliberate rhythm, growing more intense with every passing second. Their hands started to wander, exploring familiar territory with renewed urgency, and soon, their breaths came heavier.

After a few minutes Ona pulled back slightly, her lips hovering just above Lucy’s, “hmm… I missed you.” She hummed slightly out of breath but with a cute smile, her cheeks slightly pink from the intense make out.

Lucy grinned, her voice playful as she teased, “See? You should’ve let me come with you to the bathroom.”

Ona shook her head, rolling her eyes affectionately. “No, I mean I missed you today.”

Lucy frowned slightly, confused. “We were together all day, though.”

Ona leaned in again, brushing her lips softly over Lucy’s before whispering against her skin. “Not like this… I missed you.”

A slow smile spread across Lucy’s face as she caught on to what Ona meant. “Well,” Lucy murmured, her voice low and teasing, “you did say if we had any energy left…”

With a swift movement, Lucy flipped their positions, pinning Ona gently beneath her on the couch. “And we still need to shower anyway,” she added with a grin, her lips brushing against Ona’s neck.

Ona closed her eyes, her breath catching as Lucy’s hand started to toy with the waistband of her comfy pants. “Mhm we do,” she whispered, her body already responding to Lucy’s touch.

…

Jana paced nervously outside Ona’s apartment building, her phone still clutched in her hand. “Yeah but it’s been two days,” she muttered.

Vicky crossed her arms. “Maybe she’s just having a quiet start to the year. You know how she is sometimes.”

“Yeah, but not responding at all? That’s not like her,” Salma added, her brow furrowed. “We just need to check in, make sure she’s okay.”

Jana nodded, determination setting in. “Let’s just ask the doorman. Maybe he knows if she’s home.”

The three of them made their way to the entrance, where the doorman greeted them politely. “Good afternoon, how can I help you?”

“We’re looking for Ona Batlle,” Jana said, flashing a bright, reassuring smile. “We’re friends with her. She hasn’t been answering her phone, so we just want to check in.”

The doorman raised an eyebrow, glancing between them. “Miss Batlle? I’m afraid I can’t just give out information, you understand…”

Salma pulled out her phone, flipping through her camera roll before holding up a picture of the four of them together, laughing during one of their many group outings. “See? We’re really her friends. We know she’s a footballer,’’ She laughed, ‘’We are footballers too. We just want to make sure she’s alright.”

The doorman hesitated, studying the photo before nodding slowly. “Miss Batlle is home. She’s been in for a couple of days now, with… her friend.”

Jana and Salma exchanged curious glances, while Vicky leaned in. “Her friend?”

“Yes,” the doorman said, sounding uncertain. “Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything.’’ He cringed.

The trio exchanged intrigued looks. A friend? Was Ona hiding someone from them? Was this why she cancelled going to the party tonight with just one simple text?

“We could just go in and check, right?” Salma suggested, her voice playful now, eyes gleaming with curiosity. “We don’t want to disturb her if she’s busy, but we…’’ she looked at her two friends, ‘’want to surprise her.. she was going to this party with us tonight and it would be nice if I we can surprise her here, give her our best new years wishes.”

The doorman hesitated again, but Jana was quick to reassure him, her smile wide. “We won’t cause any trouble. We’ll just pop in, say hi, and leave her be. Promise.”

With some reluctance, and after a few more reassurances, the doorman sighed, grabbing the spare key to Ona’s apartment from the little office behind him. “Alright, but I expect this key back within the hour.”

“Of course!” Vicky grinned, already eager to get inside and satisfy her curiosity.

As Jana, Salma, and Vicky made their way up to Ona’s apartment, their playful banter filled the hallway.

“Do you think she’s been hiding a new girlfriend from us this whole time?” Salma teased, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

“Either way, we’re about to find out,” Vicky added, holding the spare key in her hand, the excitement building as they imagined finally meeting this mystery friend who had kept Ona so occupied.

‘’Honestly, I thought she was going to get something with Lucy.’’ Jana said, ‘’those two have so much chemistry.’’

Vicky chuckled, ‘’OMG, what if it is Lucy.. the mystery friend.’’

Salma shook her head chuckling, ‘’no way, Lucy lives in this building too, the guy would’ve known her name, and by the way, isn’t Lucy like way older?’’

‘’Age is just a number baby.’’ Vicky said, laughing loudly.

‘’Ew,’’ Jana shook her head, ‘’as a minor you shouldn’t say that bro, you are not dating someone that’s above 18.’’

Vicky shrugged, ‘’What if their hot.. besides isn’t your girlfriend like 5 years older?’’

Jana blushed, ‘’yeah but we met when we were both of legal age.’’

‘’Anyways, I bet it’s a hot chick.’’ Salma said, ‘’if Ona doesn’t even answers her phone for two days.. she must be very distracting.’’

‘’OMG, what if we walk in on them fucking.’’ Vicky chuckled.

‘’VICKY!’’ Salma and Jana hissed, nearing Ona’s apartment.

It was strange for the group of three, they had only been here a couple of times. Always with Ona leading the way. But they knew which door it was.

They stayed silent as Salma carefully opened the door.

They followed eachother. Jana stepping inside first. “Ona! Surprise!” she called, chuckling to herself. “We figured you lost your phone so we came to grab you, to drag you and your secret friend to the party!”

The trio giggled, quickly walking further into the apartment, trying to stifle their laughter. “Ona, are you home? We miss you!” Vicky added, her voice lilting with amusement.

It was a bit creepy to just walk in to someone’s house, even if it was their friend’s. It felt invading.

As they stepped into the living room, all three came to a sudden halt, the scene before them causing their jaws to drop.

Ona was laid out on the couch, her body arching under Lucy, who was kneeling between her legs, very clearly in the middle of… a very intimate moment. Ona’s fingers were tangled in Lucy’s hair, her head tipped back, completely lost in the moment, unaware of her friends' entrance. Whimpering as Lucy was groaning between her legs.

The room was thick with the unmistakable tension of the moment, and for a split second, none of them could speak. It was Jana who broke the silence, unable to keep it together any longer.

“Oh. My. Fucking. God.”

Ona’s eyes flew open, and her entire body jolted in shock. “Holy shit!” she gasped, pushing Lucy’s shoulders gently as she whipped her head around toward the three people, her face instantly turning beet red.

Lucy, who had been too focused to notice anything, jumped up in surprise, quickly reaching for the nearest blanket and throwing it over Ona. “Jesus!” she muttered, scrambling to get up from the floor, her own cheeks turning pink.

Jana, Salma, and Vicky stood frozen, wide-eyed and slack-jawed, until Vicky let out a loud, hysterical laugh. “I knew it!” she cackled, covering her face as she doubled over.

Jana blinked, her shock quickly melting into a grin. “We fucking knew it!” she exclaimed, pointing a finger between the two of them. “Finally, you cleared things up between you two.”

Ona buried her face in her hands, letting out a loud groan. “Oh my god, you guys—why are you here?!” she squeaked, her voice muffled by her hands.

Jana shook her head, trying not to laugh, but failing miserably. “We were worried! You haven’t been on your phone for two days, even for you that’s long, we thought something had happened. Turns out, something did happen, just not what we expected.”

Salma nodded, her eyes still wide. “I can’t comprehend this. You.. with Lucy?!.”

Lucy, still blushing, cleared her throat, managing a sheepish smile as she adjusted the blanket around Ona. “Yeah, well, surprise?”

“You know what’s surprising?” Jana chimed in, still laughing. “That it took you guys this long to get here. We’ve all been watching you two moon over each other for months.”

Ona’s mortification was clear, her cheeks still burning as she peeked out from behind her hands. “I hate all of you,” she muttered.

“Come on, we’re just happy for you,” Vicky teased, stepping forward and grinning. “Though next time, maybe give us a heads-up before we… you know, get traumatized.”

Lucy cringed, ‘’Fucking hell, Vicky, I hope you didn’t see anything.’’

Salma and Jana looked at eachother, ‘’so for us two it isn’t traumatic?’’

Ona pulled the blanked over her head, ‘’It is traumatic for all five of us, please leave.’’ She muttered from under the blanked.

Salma smirked. “Yeah, I guess we’ll leave you two to… finish this... but we expect you guys tonight at the party.”

Vicky burst into laughter again, while Ona just groaned, pulling the blanket tighter around herself. “Please go away. I’ll see you guys next year, when everyone has forgotten this all.”

With a final laugh and a few knowing looks exchanged between the friends, they began to back out of the apartment, still chuckling to themselves as they left, not believing what just happened.

As the door clicked shut, Ona let out another long groan, burying her face in Lucy’s chest. Who had dropped besides her on the couch. “I can’t believe that just happened.”

Lucy wrapped her arms around Ona, kissing the top of her head. “Training will be horrible. But at least the news is out now I guess, we don’t have to be secret anymore.”

Ona peeked up at her, her expression still mortified. “Yeah, but did it have to be like that?”

Lucy smirked, brushing a strand of hair from Ona’s face. “Hey, at least they seemed happy for us, well… mostly.”

Ona sighed, leaning back against the couch. “I’ll never live this down.”

“We’ll be fine,” Lucy said sympathetic, leaning down to press a soft kiss to Ona’s lips. “Besides, we’ve got more important things to focus on right now.” She said, removing the blanket from Ona.

Games PB5 and AF35 played together in but also their injuries to really put in perspective how little they have truly played.

I bolded the games I thought were their best together and realized they never have played their best together truly. Like the one time Azzi was healthy and going off, Paige was recovering from knee injuries. Between the two of them, they probably had one healthy leg in those 17 games.

For rewatch purposes: https://www.youtube.com/@mjl2434

2021-2022

Paige coming back from right ankle surgery after being NPOY as a freshman.

Azzi came in with a foot injury from the World Cup after winning her third gold medal and it never really healed the entire season. She said later it was all about pain management but she was never really free. It really affected her movement and shooting.

11/14/2021 Arkansas: PB scored 34 at 78.9% and AF scored 7 at 42.9%

11/20/2021 Minnesota: PB scored 8 at 42.9% and AF scored 5 at 33.3%

11/21/2021 South Florida: PB scored 21 at 50% and AF scored 18 at 60% (the presser after is iconic haha)

11/22/2021 South Carolina: PB scored 19 at 42.1%. AF only played 10 minutes and didn't score.

12/1/21 - Azzi suffered a foot injury forced her out of the lineup for 11 games.

12/7/21 - Paige injured her left knee - tibial plateau fracture against Notre Dame and it kept her out of 19 games.

During that time while PB was on the bench (and all her fun reactions), Azzi played three games that I absolutely love rewatching and rank in her top 10: 2/6/22 Tennessee (her first start); 2/9/22 Villanova (note that UConn ended up losing this but I honestly rank this one of her best performances ever); 2/13/22 Marquette.

2/25/2022 St. John's (NY): PB scored 8 at 80% and AF scored 19 at 77.8% (there was so much joy because PB was back and this has a great presser afterwards)

2/27/2022 Providence: PB scored 2 FT but still made a big impact in limited time and AF scored 14 at 62.5%

3/5/2022 Georgetown: PB scored 16 at 66.7% and AF scored 11 at 30.8%

3/6/2022 Marquette: PB scored 2 at 25% and AF scored 4 at 11.1%

3/7/2022 Villanova: PB scored 2 at 25% but didn't play much in this game and AF scored 9 at 80%

3/19/2022 Mercer: PB scored 12 at 71.4% and AF scored 9 at 75%. Statistically great game for both but also early round of March Madness where they play like 20 minutes. So I suppose you can watch it for feels.

3/21/2022 UCF: PB scored 9 at 44.4% and AF scored 16 at 30.8%

3/26/2022 Indiana: PB scored 15 at 41.2% and AF scored 13 at 27.3%

3/28/2022 NC State: PB scored 27 at 66.7% and AF scored 19 at 43.8% --- AF helped get it to OT before PB finally took off. Probably their best game together but I don't know if their best overlapped completely during that game.

4/1/2022 Stanford: PB scored 14 at 53.8% and AF scored 8 at 25%. This game was not fun from what I can remember. I don't think I enjoyed it at all.

4/3/2022 South Carolina: PB scored 14 at 46.2% and AF scored 3 and 33.3% ---- Azzi had the stomach flu and only played 16 minutes. Between this and Dorka getting injured against NC State, I don't think this team really recovered.

2022-2023

Paige tore her left knee ACL on August 1, 2022.

After having a NPOY level November 2022, Azzi injured her knee on December 4, 2022 against Notre Dame and was out of 9 games. She made her return in January 2023, only to reinjure the same knee on Jan. 15 and miss an additional 13 games. She never really recovered that level she had during November 2022.

I highly recommend watching the games in that month of November 2022 if you want to see Azzi Fudd play lights out basketball. And truthfully, I don't even think that was half her full potential. She was warming up to it in the first month of basketball.

2023-2024

11/8/2023 Dayton: PB scored 8 at 33.3% and AF scored 13 at 33.3%

11/12/2023 NC State: PB scored 27 at 61.1% and AF scored 9 at 30.8%

Azzi tore her ACL and meniscal tear in her right knee - second ACL tear for her. I actually think Azzi never really recovered her knee from the previous season and in the same way Paige came back too soon, Azzi did as well.

So now as we approach 2024-25, may the basketball gods bless us with potentially the best backcourt duo in the nation, because truthfully, we have never actually seen it at the college level. One thing I know is Azzi is a second half assassin (like statistically speaking). Looking forward to that the most. - 🔎

It was really interesting and a great read, but depressing af 💔.

We deserve to see them play for a full season, and more importantly, THEY deserve to play together for a complete season.

STRAWBERRYLUVS KINKTOBER 2023

DAY-8

Yeonjun public sex

Yeonjun pulled you into the bathroom and closed the door. He locked it and pinned you up against the door.

"Yeonjun, I need to tell my friends!" You said as you watched his hungry eyes scan you.

"No, I can't wait any longer. You've been walking around looking like that all day." He pouted. You turned your attention away from him and he instantly turned your chin to look at him. "Don't look away from me…" he said as his eyes went down to your miniskirt. "Fuck," he scoffed to himself and turned his head away from your sight.

"Look I will give you all my attention when I tell my friends I'm in the bathroom it'll take only-" you tried to explain but he cut you off by biting your exposed neck. You whimpered before realizing how needy he is and how hot he looks. "You're mad at me aren't you," you said with a whimper.

"Maybe a little," he smirked for a quick sec before biting you again.

"Is it the outfit?" You asked innocently.

"No. It's hot as fuck," he grinned before biting again.

"Then what is it?" You tilted your head.

"I'll tell you later, I'm too horny to think straight," he said as he stared at your chest. "We have to be quick, baby," he said as he undid his belt quickly, watching you pull down your skirt. He closed the cover of the toilet seat and sat down on it. He waved you over and you stood in front of him. "Your so fucking hot," Yeonjun grinned as the buldge visibly grew.

He guided you to slowly sit on top of him and you moaned out as you felt his length slide into you.

"A-ah~ feels good, feels so good," you moaned as you sat down on his lap.

DAY-9

Shower sex with Beomgyu

The hot water trickled through your hair and down your back. You then heard the door open.

"Hey I was supposed to get a shower first!" Beomgyu shouted to you from the other side of the curtain.

"You took too long and we have to go soon," you explained as you put some shampoo in your hands before spreading it into your hair.

"Yes and I need a shower before we leave too!" He whined. "I even brought my towel!" He whined louder and you sighed. He then swung open the curtain. "Move over!" Beomgyu said as he jumped in next to you and you scurried to the other side of the shower.

"Gyu what are you doing!?" You jumped.

"We both need a shower and we both have to live in a half hour so here we are," you blushed and covered your body. "It's not like I haven't seen you naked before," he said before eyeing you up and down. "Plus I get a great view," he smirks and you slap him on the arm. You keep washing the soap off from your hair. "Hm, seems like the markings I left last time are fading," he smirked as he put a hand on his chin. You looked at him watching as the water soaked into his long hair, making it stick to his body. You found your eyes traveling down his body when Beomgyu stopped you.

He pinned you against the wall and started licking and biting you. You moaned softly before covering your mouth. He started sucking on your skin but you put your hand on his head.

"G-Gyu stop, we're going to a family dinner. They're going to notice," you blushed and he nodded.

"Well then looks like I won't have to beat around the bush," he then went on his knees and started licking around your thighs and up your folds. You moaned loudly and gripped his hair. After only a short moment of eating you out he inserted a finger that made you moan out his name.

"Ah-fuck Beomgyu~" you moaned as you threw your head back, the water falling onto your face.

"My pretty little girl~" he smirked as he watched your body squirm as he curled his fingers deep inside you.

"Please don't stop, please don't stop," you whined as you grabbed his wet hair harshly.

DAY-10

Praise with Felix

You grind your hips down on Felix slowly as you adjust to his length. It was your first time and you had been so nervous leading up to this moment. You were excited but scared at the same time. He was wearing protection and you were both really careful and respecting each other's boundaries but you were still nervous.

"Relax baby you're doing so good," he said as he rubbed your thigh softly. You covered your mouth and put one of your hands on his chest as you continued to slowly move your hips up and down him. "A-ah~ just like that~" he bit his lip hard and swallowed harshly. His Adam's apple flexing. "So good baby," he blushed as you continued to move slowly. You gasped as his dick hit your g-spot, holding back your moans. You were embarrassed to moan and this entire time you've almost never moaned to your full potential and you planned to keep it this way. "Are you suppressing your noises?" He asked with a little smirk and soft eyebrows. You nodded slowly and moved your hand off his chest.

"I-I'm embarrassed…" you blushed and stopped moving your hips.

"No, no baby," he shook his head. "Don't be, I want to hear you my love," you bit your lip and agreed to do as he said. You wanted to hold them back but you couldn't. Felix grabbed your hips gently and guided you up his length and back down. You couldn't help but moan and grab the sheets below him. "Good girl~" he praised and you felt your stomach turn. He guided you up and down again and you couldn't help but moan louder. "Such a good girl," he praised again as he sped up the pace.

"Oh my God-ah," you whimpered as you felt your high approaching already. You grabbed the sheets harshly and squinted your eyes shut. You then felt yourself cum all over him. He pulled you off of him and continued to praise you like crazy.

"You're doing so good," he said softly as your cum dripped on his lower stomach.

DAY-11

Aphrodisiac Han

"Baby wake up, we have a problem," Han shook you awake in the middle of the night. You groaned and sat up slowly. "Y/N-ah," he whined.

"What?" You groaned and Hans cheeks flushed. You went to turn on the light next to your side of the bed but Jisung stopped you.

"I…" Han blushed and you raised a brow at him. "I was…" he couldn't finish the sentence and you suddenly worried.

"What's wrong, my love?" You said as you tucked back his hair behind his ear.

"The chocolate I had was an… Aphrodisiac. I wanted to ask you to have sex with me tonight but I…I got too nervous. Then I couldn't sleep through the night so when I was sure you were asleep I pleasured myself," he blushed as he hugged his naked body with a pillow.

"Awe baby you could've just woken me up," you said as you pet his cheek.

"I would've but I already felt bad so I just kept doing it, but it wasn't enough. I need you baby~" he whined before hugging you. You pulled him on top of you and laid down on the bed. He blushed as you took off your shorts and took away the pillow that was covering him.

"Your hands were sticky," you grinned and somehow hans cheeks got more red. You then pulled him in by the cheek for a kiss. Your free hand went down to his sensitive cock that was already as hard as a rock. He jumped and winced when you touched it. He really was extra sensitive.

"Please don't be gentle…" Han blushed and bit his lip.

"I didn't plan on going easy on you. You woke me up for this," you smirked and wrapped your hand around his length. He gasped as you started jerking him off, sweat dripping from his forehead.

DAY-12

Keeho blindfold

Keeho wrapped the soft silk ribbon around your eyes only a few seconds ago. Since then you heard him stand up but since then you didn't have a clue as to where he was or what he was going to do next. You laid there in only your lingerie and you bit your lip in anticipation when you felt his hands on your hips. You jumped lightly at the sudden contact but adjusted to his hands quickly. His cold ring could be felt on his ring finger as his ring finger tucked under your panties.

He hooked his fingers around both sides of them and gently pulled them down. All you could do is listen to and sense what he was going to do next. You then felt his lips on your clit. You jumped and gasped quietly. You bit the tip of your finger as he pressed his tongue down on your clit. His fingers started trailing up your legs, and in between your thighs. He played with your folds as you felt your back arch.

"You're so cute when you do that~" Keeho spoke lowly and you blushed. You wanted him to do more but you didn't want to ask.

"Please don't stop," you said softly and Keeho chuckled at your shy behavior. He then slid his middle finger into you, curling it as he did so. "Ah-fuck~" you moaned as he buried his finger knuckles deep into you and curled it again. You moaned and grinded your hips up into his hand when he suddenly stopped and pulled away. "No~no don't stop~ It felt so good," you whined as your hands went to reach for him. You then felt his wide hand on your chest, gently pushing you to lay back down on the bed.

"I will once I get these hands out of the way~"

DAY-13

O.de choking

You blushed as O.de put his arm next to your head on the pillow. You put your hand to your mouth and your head tipped back as he rutted his hips up into you. You didn't know how to react to anything. You were so overwhelmed by the pleasure. His free hand then slid up to your neck.

His long fingers wrapped around your neck softly and you felt shivers run down your spine. This entire time he's been fucking you senseless there was little to no talking. Just intimate touches and kisses. You felt yourself grin slightly at the feeling of his hand on your throat.

"Oh you like this?" He smirked as he kept a steady and slow pace. "Such a cute little whore," he smiled as he watched saliva fall from your lips slowly.

DAY-14

Closet with Jungsu!

"So what's the point of this game again?" Jungsu said confused as he sat up straight. You and the members were playing 7 minutes of heaven at a big party and you just happened to get sucked into their games.

"Well…when most people play this game it's to you know make out or…" you paused as your face flushed as you explained this whole situation to your crush of all people.

"Hm interesting…" he said as he put a hand to his chin for a moment. You nodded awkwardly and waited for him to say more. "Did you know we were playing this?" He leaned forward.

"No! No, I didn't," you blushed as he got closer to you, his burnt orange hair falling in front of his eyes. "W-what are you doing…" you blush as his eyes scan your face, his cheeks pink from the alcohol.

"You're so pretty~" he smirked as his hand caressed your cheek. You looked up at him with your lips gently parted, his eyes were just yearning and pleading for you to get closer to him. You put your hands on his cheeks and pull him into a passionate kiss. It gets sexual quickly. Your legs twisted around each other's, hands grasping at clothing, bodies only separated by thin layers of fabric. His hands weren't shy either. Going under your skirt and rubbing his fingers against your clit softly, little whimpers escaped your lips.

"Jungsu please fuck me," you begged awkwardly at your own words. Due to the tight space you had to put your legs on top of his shoulders as he ate you out.

"You have to be more quiet, my love," he said softly.

"S-Sorry it's hard…" you blushed as you grabbed onto a jacket on the floor of the closet. Junsgu looked around the room and found a small pillow.

"Here cover your mouth with this, it'll help a lot," he smiled and you did as he said. You knew as well as he did that you were going to be heard, he fucked you so good that the whole neighborhood probably heard the two of you.

y/n let out a sigh as she stared down the ramp, her lover was watching her with quiet breaths, barely feet apart as the rest of her friends and teammates quietened.

The stadium was silent for a moment, before y/n's hand's clapped, the audience copied and she did it again, and the stadium now boomed with rhythmic claps.

y/n's feet took off, her legs pounding against the track. She was 5ft 9, short for a long jumper, but she was quick, and light and as y/n's foot hit the board, she flung herself forward.

Her legs piked as she pushed her hips forward her body travelling as she was pushed down by gravity, landing on the sand below. She jolted as she landed but instantly stood up and rolled off.

She looked at the measurement, waiting for the green light of valid to appear, which it did. y/n shouted in happiness looking over to her coach who nodded as she moved over to wait for the measurement.

"7.17." The voice called.

y/n screamed in relief, hands flying to her head as she realises the record she had broken in her first jump, the British record. Her competitors all paled at the large first jump but patted her on the back none-the-less.

"Go on kid." The accent of Tara said as she patted the girl on the back and y/n grinned at her. "Got sick of coming second aye?" The American joked and y/n laughed.

y/n moved to the crowd, leaning into her lover who lent over the barrier and whispered words of calming encouragement in her ear as the rest queued up to jump.

Pats on y/n's back from Lauren, Georgia, Leah, and Keira echoed as she and Chloe pulled away. The blonde pressing a kiss to her lover's cheek.

"Jump harder." Lucy said as she and her close friend did their usual handshake.

"Always." y/n grinned as she went to take her seat and prepare for her second jump.

y/n's second jump was 7.15, her third, 7.16. None as good as her first and yet somehow, all still winning jumps. Tara and Ivana followed her into the top three, and at their last jump, the three were proud of what had been done.

SB and PB's had been set and Ivana was at 7.14 and massive jump for the young girl. y/n had to push, use up all she had. She started the clap once more.

She waited, then she threw her arms down, silence echoing the stadium as she then raced down the track, the sound of her foot hitting the board echoed and she leaped.

y/n hit the ground hard and rolled, her hips groaning as she covered herself in the sand, hoping praying as the green light lit up and she gingerly stumbled off the sand.

"7.30." The call ran out.

y/n's head snapped back, her body buckling as she tried to comprehend what had just happened. Screams echoed as Tara groaned aloud, knowing she nor Ivana were going to beat that.

Chloe screamed for her lover as y/n grinned at the crowd, shouting in what she knew was a sure victory. And after Tara had jumped and her gold was confirmed, y/n screamed once more.

The gold which had avoided her so long, which had always slipped from her grasp from a last ditch effort or harsh injury, finally she had it, she had the title which had evaded her. World Champion.

Chloe jumped the barrier, y/n grinning as she caught the blonde who wrapped her legs around her waist. y/n grinned up at her before the blonde lent down and pecked her lips.

"Proud of you." Chloe mumbled into her shoulder as y/n walked her back to the stands, her hands firmly on Chloe's thighs keeping the blonde wrapped in her.

"Couldn't have done it without you lovely." y/n promised her as she placed her back over the barrier. They pulled away and Chloe suddenly groaned.

"I'm covered in sand!" She protests and y/n chuckles as the blonde tries to shake it off, and shake it at a laughing Bunny who shrieks and scrambles away

This Week in BL - Bit Slow Round These Parts

Organized, in each category, by ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

Dec 2023 Wk 4

Ongoing Series - Thai

Last Twilight (Fri YT) ep 8 of 12 - Mhok is about the most indulgent boyfriend on the planet. Why they dressed as 1930s gangsters for the wedding? I have no idea idea, but it’s adorable. IFYLITA mark 2? And they’re even dancing together using bits of the same steps that were used that show too. Cute nod.

The Sign (Sat YT) ep 6 of 10 - Everything but the kitchen sink includes lesbians apparently. Excellent. Carry on. Also a lot of filler about the sides. (Boring, stop that.) I wish the doctor were a little bit more of a multifaceted character (and less evil snakey), and that we had some of his backstory + Tharn. If we saw them as kids, having a longer true friendship, it would make Tharn’s attitude a little bit more sympathetic and forgiving.

For Him (Thurs iQIYI) ep 5 of 10 - I like this show, but it’s awfully one-sided in the romance arena. I mean shouldn’t they be trying to support and make each other happy? Why does it always have to come from Him? Also, I’m constantly worried about the fact that Nail doesn’t eat any vegetables. His digestive track must be in serious distress. And if the boy is a bottom?! Look I have concerns is all I'm saying, I hope he's getting his fiber along with the dk. Meanwhile... Mom confrontation! Always fun.

Twins the series (Fri GaGa) ep 9 of 10 - Now I’m having a hard time keeping the twins straight. Who’s getting beat up for whom, what’s going on? No matter who, First caught himself a live one. I like those bits.

Pit Babe (Fri iQIYI) ep 7 of 14 - I got little crumbs of my sides but not enough, and then they dropped the mpreg bomb. Kinda like blowing the BL diaper. Trash watch happening here.

Cooking Crush (Sun YT) ep 5 of 12 - They are so cute. And mostly such good communicators. Except evil dad is evil! I didn’t have OffGun tango on my bingo card, but I'm happy to check it off. After making everyone sing, GMMTV is now making everyone dance. I much prefer it. Kiss came a bit out of nowhere. But it was sweet.

A few minutes later...

Bake Me Please (Mon Gaga) ep 6fin - I don’t know, I feel like this just wasn’t good enough for the class of talent involved. Which means it’s mostly the story and script's fault. In the end I kinda just wanted Guy to get the guy.

In cluclusion:

A lack-luster story about a group of bakers coping with (mostly) a shoddy script that could not be saved by either the beauty nor the talent of the actors involved. It suffered for lack of narrative backbone and so did I. 6/10

Middleman’s Love (Fri YT & iQIYI ep 8fin - Mai is an adorable clingy boyfriend, and that bit was kind of cute.

Summation:

Office clown, Jade, a manic pixie dream dork, is courted by the new intern, Mai. This show is right in my wheelhouse but it fell flat for me. I wish it had lived up to the concept behind the title (if nothing else). If we had done more of Jade‘s family and the reasons behind his self-worth struggles and self-acceptance issues, they might have been easier to bare. Without backstory, the show had no through line. In the end, Jade was a largely intolerable character, and Mai felt flat and lacking in personality. I was disappointed with this show, and I hope they don't blame the pair for the poor ratings. 6/10

My Universe (Sun iQIYI) 1626 ep 19 of 24 - Meh. So dull.

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

VIP Only (Taiwan Fri Gaga) ep 7 of 10 - I’m not really interested in the late addition love triangle concept.

Sahara-sensei to Toki-kun (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 4 of 8 - a bit too frenetic and manic for me, this one. Glasses boy is best boy. But I’m kind of confused as to was actually going on with this show. Including whether I like it or not.

I Became the Main Role of a BL (Japan Sun Gaga) ep 1-3 - AKA BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen - it should finish airing at the very beginning of the year, so I decided to wait and watch all 3 back-to-back.

It's Airing But...

Playboyy (Thurs Gaga) 14 eps - Dear Playboyy, it's not you, it’s me… I hate you. You’re about as deep (and as palatable) as a shot glass of cum. While I'm sure you’re someone’s kink, you're my weakest link. Goodbye. I DNFed this at ep 5. Frankly I'm impressed with myself for getting that far.

Night Dream (Sat YT) 6 eps - It’s a pain to track down and I really didn’t like the first episode so… DNF

The Whisperer (Sun ????) 10 eps - Thai horror BL that ALSO involves cheating (what joy is mine). I don't think even the perfect single dimple can motivate me to watch. Word is... it's terrible.

7 Days Before Valentine (Weds WeTV) 10 eps - Giving me Luminous Solution vibes. I'm waiting to binge if safe.

Dead Friend Forever (Thai Sat iQIYI) - horror, meh, tell me if it's worth my time?

It's done and I didn't, or we can't

Beyond The Star (Weds iQIYI) 8 eps - House of Stars meets Boyband. I was NOT impressed with ep 1. Been told I shouldn't bother. So I won't.

Behind the Shadows (Korea movie) - This is a historical I was interested in, but I've been told they kill the gay so I'm OUT.

[INTERNATIONAL] Cherry Magic (Sat YouTube) ep 3 of 12 - yeah Japan put the smack down on our boys. Sadness. You can use a VPN if you like. Read all about it here.

What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - will binge when I have a spare day.

Crazy work load right now so no idea when that will be. (End of year is a bear for me.)

Honestly I'm gonna have an epic number of dnf's this year for me.

Next Week Looks Like This

Original 2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED). With the end of the year upon us I'll do an "announced for 2023 but never happened list" soon.

Also my best ofs are coming.

Don't think I'll do a stats round up this year, everything progressing as before.

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

(Last week) - sorry, forgot to link it.

It's 2024 people! Round ups are coming!!!! Leave a comment or an ask, if you have something specific you want addressed.

I wrote a 12 page epilogue to my 2019 comic "Harry Potter and The Problematic Author" because I found, in 2023, that I had more to say. You can also find this comic on my website, and I have PDF copies available on etsy. I may sell print copies at some point in the future.

instagram / patreon / portfolio / etsy / my book / redbubble

Full transcript below the cut.

PAGE 1

Part one: Ruddy Owls!

I was in fourth grade when the first Harry Potter Book was released in the US.

Panel 1: Sometimes our teacher would read it aloud in class. “Mr and Mrs Dursley of number 4 Privat Drive were proud to say they were perfectly normal, thank you very much…”

Panel 2: I was 11 years old when Harry Potter finally broke through my dyslexia and turned me into a reader.

Panel 3: Every night in the summer before sixth grade I waited for the owl carrying my Hogwarts Letter. I cried when it didn’t come. “I have to go to Muggle school!”

PAGE 2

Part Two: Hats

I dedicated myself to being a fan.

Panel 1: I began collecting Harry Potter News article.

Panel 2: I asked my relatives to mail me ones from their local papers. I filled a thick binder with clippings.

Panel 3: I wrote my own trivia quiz

Panel 4: and participated in the one held annually at the county fair. “Next contestant!”

Panel 5: I usually got into one of. the top five spots. I won boxes of candy, posters, stationary, and once a baseball cap. (Hat reads: I survived the battle of Hogwarts).

Panel 6: In high school I sewed a black velvet cape and knitted many stripped scarves.

PAGE 3

Part Three: Double Trouble

Watching the last film in 2011 felt like the final note of my childhood.

Panel 1: I remember driving home from the midnight showing thinking about the end of 13 years of waiting; wondering what would define the next chapter of my life.

Panel 2: That same month I heard of something called Pottermore. “Okay, so there’s a sorting quiz… I already know my house! Patronus assignment? Mine’s a barn owl. Duh!"

Panel 3: You can read the books again but with GIFs? Why?

Panel 4: I lived in a place with very slow and limited internet at the time. Pottermore sounded inaccessible, but also boring. I never joined.

Panel 5: "I’ll just read the actual books again, thanks."

PAGE 4

Part Four: Sweets

In 2016, a series of short stories titled "History of Magic in North America” were released on Pottermore to pave the way for the first Fantastic Beasts Film. These stories display an extreme ignorance of American history, culture, and geography, but the worst parts are the casual misuse of indigenous beliefs and stories. Fans and critics immediately spoke up against this appropriation. Some of the most quoted voices included Nambe Pueblo scholar Dr. Debbie Reese who runs the site “American Indians In Children’s Literature”; Navajo writer Brian Young; Johnnie Jae (Otoe-Missouria and Choctaw), founder of A Tribe Called Geek; Dr Adrienne Keene (Cherokee Nation), a Professor at Brown University who runs the blog “Native Appropriations”, and writers N.K. Jemison and Paula Young Lee.

Rowling is famous for responding to fans directly on twitter, yet she did not respond to anyone calling out the damaging aspects of “Magic in North America.” Her representatives refused to comment for March 9 2016 article in the Guardian. She has never apologized. All of this, plus the casting of Johnny Depp and the specific declarations of support by JKR, Warner Brothers, and director David Yates left a sour taste in my mouth.

For further thoughts on the new films read The Crimes of Grindelwald is a Mess by Alanna Bennett for Buzzfeed News, November 16, 2018.

Excerpt from Colonialism in Wizarding American: JK Rowling’s History of Magic in North America Through an Indigenous Lens by Allison Mills, MFA, MAS/MLIS (Cree and Settler French Canadian)

Although Rowling is certainly not the first white author to misstep in her treatment of Indigenous cultures, she has an unprecedented level of visibility and fame, […] One of the most glaring problems with Rowling’s story is her treatment of the many Indigenous nations in North America as one monolithic group. […It] flattens out the diversity of languages, belief systems, and cultures that exist in Indigenous communities, allowing stereotyping to persist. […] It continues a long history of colonial texts which ignore that Indigenous peoples still exist. […] In the Wizarding world, as in the real world, Indigenous histories have been over-written and our cultures erased.

Part 5: Music

Panel 1: Also in 2016 I discovered two podcasts which radically altered my experience of being an HP fan. The first was Witch Please created by two Canadian feminist literary scholars Hannah McGregor and Marcelle Kosman.

Panel 2: “If it’s not in the text it doesn’t count!” “Close reading ONLY!”

Panel 3: They talk about Harry Potter at the level you’d expect in a college class with particular focus on gender, race, class, and the troubling fatphobia, fear of othered and queer coded bodies, violence against women, white feminism, gaslighting and failed pedagogy in the books. They bring up these issues not because they hate the series, but because they LOVE it.

PAGE 8

These passionate, joyful conversations went off like fireworks in my mind. I had never taken a feminist class before. I gained a whole new vocabulary to talk about the books- and the world.

PAGE 9

Panel 1: The second podcast I started that year was Harry Potter and the Sacred Text, created by two graduates of the Harvard Divinity School, Vanessa Zoltan and Casper Ter Kuile.

Panel 2: They read one chapter per episode through a theme such as love, control, curiosity, shame, responsibility, hospitality, destruction, or mystery. Like Witch Please, they are interested only in the information on the page, not thoughts from the author. The delights and failures of the text are examined in the context of the present day, and new meanings constantly arise.

PAGE 10

What does it mean to treat a text as sacred?

Trusting that the more time we give to it, the more blessings it has to give us.

Reading the text repeatedly with concentrated attention. Our effort is part of what makes it sacred. The text is not in and of itself sacred, but is made so by rigorously engaging in the ritual of reading.

Experiencing it in community.

“To me, the goal of treating the text as sacred is that we learn to treat each other as sacred.” -Vanessa Zoltan

PAGE 11

Part 6: Tooth and Claw

In October 2017, Rowling liked a tweet linking to an article arguing that trans women should be kept out of women’s bathrooms because of cisgender women’s fears. In March 2018, she liked a tweet about the problem of misogyny in the UK Labour Party which included the line “Men in dresses get brosocialist solidarity I never had.” The author of the tweet had previously posted many blatantly anti-trans statements.

Rowlings publicist claimed she had liked the posted by accident in a “clumsy and middle-aged moment.” Yet, in September 2018 she liked a link posted by Janice Turner to her column in the Times UK titled “Trans Rapists Are A Danger In Women’s Jails.”

Screencaps of these tweets can be found in the article “The Mysterious Case of JK Rowling and her Transphobic Twitter History”, January 10 2019 by Gwendolyn Smith (a trans journalist), LGBTQNation.com

PAGE 12

Excerpt from: Is JK Rowling Transphobic? A Trans Woman Investigates by Katelyn Burns

Ultimately, the answer is yes, she is transphobic […] I think it’s fair that she receives criticism from trans people, especially given her advocacy on behalf of queer people in general, but also because she has a huge platform. Many people look up to her for creating a singular piece of popular culture that holds deep meaning for fans from different walks of life, and she has a responsibility to handle that platform wisely. (Published on them.us March 28, 2018)

Part 7: Home

At age 30, I’m still not over Harry Potter.

Panel 1: I’ve recently found a local bar that does HP trivia nights. “Poppy or Pomona?” “Poppy!”

Panel 2: I currently own an annual pass to Universal Studios so I can visit Hogsmeade.

Panel 3: I love talking to kids who are reading the books for the first time. “Who’s your favorite character?” “Ginny!”

Panel 4: And I’m planning a relisten to the audio books to next year to help me get through the election cycle. “Jim Dale, I’m going to need you more than ever…”

Spoiler from 2023: I did not do this. By mid-2020 JKR had posted her transphobic essay; we were in covid; I never visited Universal Studios again.

PAGE 14

But I do want to learn from her mistakes. I never want to repeat “Magic in North America.” As I write, I will do my research. I will consult experts and compensate them. If a reader from a different culture/background than me speaks up about my work, I will listen and apologize. I KNOW I WILL MAKE MISTAKES. But I will own up to them and I will do better.

PAGE 15

Excerpt from Diversity Is Not Enough: Race, Power and Publishing by Daniel José Older

We can love a thing and still critique it. In fact, that’s the only way to really love a thing. Let’s be critical lovers and loving critics and open ourselves to the truth about where we are and where we’ve been. Instead of holding tight to the same old, failed patriarchies, let’s walk a new road, speak new languages. Today, let’s imagine a literature, a literary world, that carries this struggle for equity in its very essence, so that tomorrow it can cease to be necessary, and disappear. (Buzzfeed, April 14, 2017)

PAGE 16

Harry Potter is flawed, & JK Rowling is problematic. But the books helped me learn a lot:

*One of the greatest dangers facing the modern world is the rise of fascism

*The government cannot be trusted

*Read and think critically

*Question the news: who paid the journalist? Who owns the paper?

*Trust and support your friends through good times and bad

*Organize for resistance

*Educate and share resources with peers

*The revolution must be diverse and intersectional

* We are only as strong as we are united

*The weapon we have is love

PART 8: EPILOGUE

In 2021 I removed a Harry Potter patch I sewed to my book bag over a decade ago. I took 15 pieces of Harry Potter fanart off my walls. I got rid of my paperback book set, 2 board games, and 8 t-shirt. [images: a Hogwarts a patch with loose threads, a pair of scissors and a seam ripper]

Panel 1: Maia holding up a shirt with the Deathly Hallows logo on it. Maia thinks: “Damn, this really used to be my entire personality.”

Panel 2: The t-shirt gets thrown into the Goodwill box.

PAGE 18

I wrote my zine wrestling with JKR’s legacy in 2019, after her dismissive and racist reaction to indigenous fans and critics of “Magic in North America” and after she had liked a couple transphobic tweets. Since then, she has gotten so much worse.

A Brief Timeline (mostly from this Vox article)

June 2020- JKR posts a 3600 word essay making her anti-trans position clear

August 2020- The Robert F Kennedy Human Rights Org issues a statement about her transphobia, JKR doubles down on her position and returns an award they gave her

December 2020- JKR claims 90% of HP fans secretly agree with her anti-trans views

December 2021- JKR mocks Scottish Police for recognizing transgender identities

March 2022- JKR criticizes gender-inclusive language and legislation

December 2022- JKR retweets trans youtuber Jessie Earl’s critical review of Hogwarts Legacy, starting an onslaught of transphobic harassment towards Earl

December 2022- JKR removes her support from an Edinburgh center for survivors of sexual violence with a trans-inclusive policy and funds her own center which explicitly excludes trans sexual assault survivors

January 2023- JKR tweets “Deeply amused by those telling me I’ve lost their admiration due to disrespect I show violent, duplicitous rapists.” It got nearly 300K likes

March 2023- One the podcast “The Witch Trials of JK Rowling”, hosted by a former Westboro Baptist Church Member, JKR compares the trans rights movement to Death Eaters.

PAGE 19

What are The Witch Trials of JK Rowling?

Panel 1: Maia speaking. “It’s a 7 episode documentary style podcast hosted by Megan Phelps-Roper. Nearly every episode contains interviews with JKR as well as critics, journalists, historians, protestors and fans.

Panel 2: Maia speaking. “In episode 1, JKR speaks more candidly than she has previously about being in an abusive marriage. Her ex-husband hit her, stalked her, broke into her house overlapping with the time she was writing the first three HP books.”

Panel 3: Maia speaking. “What she went through genuinely sounds horrific. I have a lot of sympathy for the kind of life-long traumas those experiences leave.”

PAGE 20

HOWEVER.

It is clear from reading the June 2020 essay on her blog and listening to the podcast, that JKR still to this day feels unsafe. Despite her wealth and privilege she moves through the world with the mindset of a victim. And the group of people she finds most threatening are trans women.

Or rather, she is afraid that allowing trans women in women’s spaces invites the possibility of male predators entering those spaces.

Here’s a direct quote: The problem is male violence. All a predator wants is access and to open the doors of changing rooms, rape centers, domestic violence centers [...] to any male who says “I’m a woman and I have a right to be here” will constitute a risk to women and girls. - from The Witch Trials episode 4 as transcribed by therowlinglibrary.com, March 2023

Image: A stem of Belladonna with flowers and berries.

PAGE 21

Let me introduce here the term: TRANSMISOGYNY. The intersection of transphobia and misogyny, this term was coined by Julia Serano in 2007. Scout Tran, on tiktok as Queersneverdie said: “Transmisogyny occurs in people who have been previously hurt by traditional misogyny. Who have been driven to hate men or at the very least to be scared of men. They will sometimes take out that rage on trans women. (March 2023)

JKR claims to care for trans women and understand they are extremely vulnerable to assault and violence. In her 2020 Essay she wrote: “I want trans women to be safe. At the same time, I do not want to make natal girls and women less safe.”

So she cares about trans women… just less than cis women, and she’s willing to throw all trans women under the bus because of her unfounded, prejudice fears.

PAGE 22

Panel 1: Maia speaking. “JKR claims to have seen data that proves trans women have presented physical threats to other women in intimate spaces, but never cites sources. She also uses “producer of the large gametes” as a definition of “woman”.

What about transmen and nonbinary folks?

Panel 2: Maia leaning on a stack of all seven HP books, the first four Cormorant Strike books and The Casual Vacancy, gesturing to a series of quotes with a tired and disgusted expression.

I’m concerned about the huge explosion of young women wishing to transition and also about the increasing numbers who seem to be detransitioning. * [...] If I’d been born 30 years later, I too might have tried to transition. The allure of escaping womanhood would have been huge. -June 10 2020 essay

I don’t believe a 14 year old can truly understand what the loss of their fertility is.

-Witch Trials episode 4

I haven’t yet found a study that hasn’t found that the majority of young people experiencing gender dysphoria grow out of it*. -Witch Trials episode 7

*No sources cited

PAGE 23

It’s hard to over emphasize how fixated JKR has become on these topics. As of the date I’m writing this, 14 out of her 20 most recent tweets (70%) are in some way anti-trans. She tweets against Mermaids (a UK based trans youth charity), against trans athletes, against gender neutral bathrooms, and in support of LBG Alliance- a UK org that denies trans rights while upholding gay rights. Here are some gems from her archive:

“People who menstruate.” I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud? -June 2020

War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. The Penised Individual Who Raped You Is a Woman. - December 2021

And in response to someone asking “How do you sleep at night knowing you lost a whole audience?”

I read my most recent royalty cheques and find the pain goes away pretty quickly. -October 2022

PAGE 24

Hashtag Ruthless Productions a queer nerd podcast company created a great guide on ethical engagement with HP. Image: the two hosts of Hashtag Ruthless productions, Jessie (They/she) and Lark (he/him).

Stop buying all official HP Products: books, movies, games, toys, etc, Universal Studios tickets, food, merch.* Boycott any new TV series or movies. Instead: buy the books and DVDs used. If you still want to wear HP merch, buy fan-made. Engage only with fan content: fic, podcasts, fanart, wizard rock, etc. Show transphobia is bad for business. None of this will change JKR’s mind. But the Fantastic Beast series was canceled and after record Pottermore sales in 2020, they fell in 2022 by 40%.

*She gets a portion of ALL tickets. In 2019, this was her largest income source. Read the full guide: hashtagruthless.com/resourceguide

PAGE 25

As late as 2019, I was still reading JKR’s murder mystery series. But by the fourth book my experience began to sour.

Panel 1: Maia holding a copy of Lethal White. “The only gay character in this book is a government official who gropes his staff?”

Panel 2: “The only genderqueer character is misgendered and portrayed as a whiny faker?”

Panel 3: “The only Muslim character is disowned by his family over gay rumors?”

Panel 4: “Even the women aren’t portrayed very well…”

Panel 5: “Why is the main female character defined by the rape in her past?”

Panel 6: “Wait, what happens in the rest of this series…?” Maia scrolls on eir phone.

Panel 7: “Is the series heading towards an employee/boss relationship?”

Panel 8: “And has a man wearing women’s clothes to commit assault?”

Panel 9: “Yeah, I’m done. I’m never reading a new JKR book ever again.”

PAGE 26

And as for JKR herself?

As tempting as it might be to tweet your frustrations at her, I don’t recommend it. In 2021, she tweeted, “Hundreds of trans activists have threatened to beat, rape, assassinate and bomb me.” Getting hate online feeds her sense of victimhood and she waves it as proof of her moral high ground. Instead I suggest you block her on twitter, then delete twitter, go to the library and try to find a new book that feels magical.

Stack of books: In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan, The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater, Gifts by Ursula K Le Guin, Deep Wizardry by Diane Duane, A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik and Gideon the Ninth by Tamsin Muir.

PAGE 27

In “Emergent Strategy” adrienne maree brown writes: You do not have the right to traumatize abusive people, to attack them, personally or publicly, or to sabotage anyone else’s health. The behaviors of abuse are also survival-based, learned behaviors rooted in pain. If you can look through the lens of compassion, you will find hurt and trauma there. If you are the abused party, healing that hurt is not your responsibility and exacerbating that pain is not your justified right.

PAGE 28

Seeing anyone over age 12 wearing HP merch now makes me uncomfortable. Are they ignorant or actively a TERF? I hate wondering how much money JKR has probably poured into anti-trans legislation… This zine is a culmination of my slow breakup with a story that once brought me joy. Now it just makes me angry, tired and sad.

Daminette December 2023:9-Gremlin

"So there is a list for each of them." Marinette explained, "Allergy information, bedtime schedule, food they avoid, and emergency phone numbers."

"We are the emergency phone numbers." Jason interjected.

Marinette glared at him as Damian put down the duffel bag with the kids clothes and a diaper bag.

"Marinette, everything will be fine." Dick spoke calmly, "You both deserve a night out with out your kids."

"Yeah." Tim stated, "How long was your last date night that didn't involve a diaper change intermission or passing out on the couch?"

Marinette frowned, but Damian placed a kiss on top of her head.

"Angel, don't worry so much. Amaya, Jun, and Malik are in capable hands." Damian stated.

"Aw." Dick cooed.

"If anything happens to our children, I'll kill them in their sleep." Damian declared.

Jason sighed, "You both are making such a big deal about this! You are leaving them in Wayne Manor, one of the safest places in Gotham. We take care of a whole city; we can take care of our nieces and nephew. You're only going to be gone three hours max, depending on traffic and resturant service. You're not even leaving Gotham!"

"Jason's right." Tim explained, "Look, there's three of them and three of us. We can conquer and divide this. If you two can do it, us three can, too."

Marinette sighed, "Fine. Have fun."

Once they got into the car, Damian turned to her.

"You think they will call us?" He questioned.

Mari smiled, "No. They would have to put their pride aside for that. I'm sure they will do everything wrong."

Damian chuckled, "Well, Habibiti, let's go and enjoy our dinner."

"Man, it's like she doesn't trust us!" Jason complained.

"To be fair," Tim interjected, "we have never watched them by ourselves. Damian and Marinette are usually in the same room with us when we spend time with them."

Dick looked over Amaya, Jun, and Malik. They looked so different, but appeared so angelic. Suffice to say the Waynes freaked out when Amaya was born was an understatement. Amaya looked just like Talia, but Tom also had brown hair and green eyes, so he took the credit for his granddaughter having his appearance with Damian's skin tone. Jun looked just like Damian and Malik looked just like his mother. Dick's only worry was Malik. Malik was still only a years old. Amaya was six and was already in the first grade and Jun was in preschool, but he was sure that Amaya and Jun could help with tiny things.

"I'll take care of Malik." Dick offered, "Divide and conquer, just like you said."

"Have you read these lists?" Jason laughed, "Don't let Jun eat after 7PM and her bedtime is 7:30PM. Don't get Malik wet; not even a drop. Don't expect him to sleep when the others go to bed. Amaya's says to supervise when she color and her bed time is at 8PM."

"No water?" Dick questioned.

"Not to spill water on him." Tim sighed, "Just be careful when you bottle feed him. At least there's no bath time on there. I'll watch Jun and Jason can watch Amaya. He can read and she can color. Simple."

Damian and Marinette entered Wayne Manor to find the living room in chaos. It was 10PM and all three of their kids were still awake.

"What is going on here?" Marinette shouted.

Everyone froze.

"Maman! Baba!" Amaya and Jun shouted, running up to their parents.

Damian glared at his older brothers, "Why aren't they asleep? Marinette gave you specific instructions."

"Why is Malik wearing different socks and different clothes?" Marinette questioned.

"He spilled a drop, a drop, of water on his sock!" Dick complained, "He freaked out and wouldn't stop crying until I changed him. By that point, he was thirsty and then he spilled on his shirt. I changed him immiediately after that."

"That's why I said not to get water on him." Marinette sighed.

"I can see Amaya wasn't supervised." Damian declared, "I wonder how Father will feel about his new colorful mural at hip height."

"Blame Jason!" Tim cried out, "He was suppose to watch her, but he got too wrapped up in his book."

"Why aren't you asleep, Amaya?" Marinette asked their eldest daughter.

"Not comfy." she pouted.

Jason sighed, "She kept saying how the couch wasn't as comfy as her bed."

"Why didn't you let her sleep in your bed?" Damian growled.

"You want me to leave my neice in my room?" Jason shouted, "You know what I keep in there!"

Damian rubbed his forehead in frustration. He spotted Jun running laps around the living room.

"And Jun?" he questioned.

"Tim helped me with Malik when he was flailing around and I was trying to change him." the eldest Wayne admitted.

"And?" Mari snarled.

"We thought it would be okay to leave them alone for a moment." Tim whispered, "Amaya and Jun were watching a movie."

"What happned?" Damian demanded.

"She snuck into the kitchen and ate four cookies." Tim answered, "She's been burning off the sugar ever since."

"Sorry." the Wayne boys declared.

"Amaya, Jun." Mari called out, "I want all of your things put away in the bag, "Damian make sure everything is in there. I'm going to get Malik in his car seat and meet you outside. Both of you are going to bed when we get home. Jun, no cookies for you for a week."

Jun stomped her foot and began to pick up her toys in a sour mood.

"A week?" Dick whined, "It was a mistake that we made."

"No, Richard." Mari declared, "Jun knew she wasn't suppose to have any cookies before we got here. I spoke to her about it before we left."

Mari walked out the front door with Malik in her arms. Amaya and Jun made quick work of their belongings. Amaya waved to her uncles as she yawned and walked out the door. Damian held his second daughter's hand and the duffel bag. Jun sadly waved and walked out the door, pouting.

"Those three are gremlins." Jason stated.

"Sweet like their mother and a Hellraiser like their father?" Tim answered.

"Nope." Jason replied, "Like actual Gremlins, like the movie. Don't get them wet. Don't feed them after dark."

"It was don't get them wet, avoid bright lights, and don't feed them after midnight." Dick rebutted, "Those three love the park. Damian and Marinette take them all the time with Titus."

"And the other two?" Tim questioned.

"We should have listened to Marinette rules." Dick answered.

The three sighed.

Damian and Marinette smiled as their kids slept in the back of their car.

"You were right, Habibiti." Damian spoke, "They are asleep and likely my brothers' will be trying to get back in our favor. How about we go out for dinner same time next month?"

Marinette giggled, "I'd love too."

Steddie Week 2023

May 22nd Prompt: Hunger

Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7

@steddie-week

Steve wakes up slowly, rolls over to look at his alarm clock, then bursts out of bed in a rush of limbs and sheets and curses.

3:42 blinks back at him. Sometime during the night the power had gone out, and Steve knows it is well past 9, when he was supposed to be opening at Family Video. He pulls on his jeans and a clean shirt, stuffs his feet in his shoes, runs a brush through his hair, and grabs his vest on his way out the door, sparing half a glance at his kitchen, but not having time to eat.

If it comes down to it, he thinks, there’s always the candy.

He gets to Family Video in record time, breathing out a sigh of relief when he yanks on the door to find it still locked. That means he’s the first one there. Keith might notice when he goes back through times this week to figure out pay, but Steve’s hopeful he’s gotten away with it this time.

He clocks in, computer reading 10:01 (an entire hour late, whoops), and takes a breath as he looks around the store. Robin’s scheduled to come in at three, meaning he has five hours alone.

No one comes in for the first hour. Steve finishes logging returns and winding back the tapes.

Halfway through the second hour, the bell above the door jingles, and Steve raises his voice from where he’s putting away tapes. “Welcome to Family Video!”

“Either you��re hiding or you’ve officially started haunting this place,” a voice calls back, and Steve laughs as he walks out of the aisle.

“Hey, Eddie.”

“Hiya, Stevie.” He grins. “Tell me if this is too forward? But I noticed the power went out last night and figured if I know you as well as I do, you slept in and missed breakfast.” He hands Steve a brown paper bag, creased nicely at the top.

“Lifesaver,” Steve gasps, opening the bag. Three muffins. He sniffs them, then groans. “You’re perfect, holy shit, thank you.” Banana nut, his favorite. His heart skips an odd beat, then again when he realizes Eddie’s blushing, pulling a piece of hair across his face.

“You’re welcome,” Eddie says quietly, chuckling slightly. “I guess I was right?”

“Yeah, I woke up, like, half an hour after my shift had started, immediately panicked, and got here as fast as I could. I don’t need another write-up.”

Eddie nods, a smirk crawling onto his face. “How about waiving the fees for your favorite customer?”

Steve makes a show of looking around. “Dustin’s here?”

Eddie just laughs. “I can’t even be mad at that one.”

“Steve,” Eddie says, eyes wide, adorably serious. Steve tries to school his face accordingly, but he can’t really feel his face. “I’m hungry.”

Steve thinks about it. “I am too,” he decides, then thinks some more. “Is there pizza left over?”

Eddie shrugs, looks at the blunt in his hand, then shrugs again, taking another drag. “Chips?”

“I have chips,” Steve agrees, grabbing for the blunt. “C’mon, share.”

Eddie hands it over. “Steve,” he says again, “I’m a genius.”

“Yup,” Steve agrees.

“We should watch a movie.”

“Oh my god,” Steve breathes. “With snacks?”

“Yeah. Yeah, with snacks, c’mon, help me, help me!” He pulls Steve up, laughing when Steve does.

“Eddie,” Steve says. It’s his turn to be serious. “What if we call Argyle? And Jon?”

“And they can bring pizza,” Eddie breathes. “Stevie, I think you’re the genius.”

“Yup,” Steve agrees again. “I’ll call. You get snacks. And movie.”

“Fuck off,” Eddie laughs, resting his head against the wall. “There’s no way.”

“I swear! That’s exactly what she said! And then she tried to blame me, like it isn’t all automated.” Steve huffs a breath.

Eddie shakes his head. “You have way more patience than I do, man.”

“That’s not true. We have different types. I could never sit like you do, painting your figurines.”

Eddie snorts. “I zone out and wake up four hours later. I don’t think that counts as patience.” He sighs. “As fun as this has been, Steve, I’ve gotta go get ready for my shift. I’ll talk to you later?”

“Yeah. Yeah, definitely. What time does your shift start?”

“Six.”

“That… Eds, that’s in twenty minutes.”

“No? I’m looking at a clock right here. It’s 4:40 right now. I’ve got an hour twenty.”

“Eds,” Steve says, sounding pained. “Daylight savings.”

“Oh, shit,” Eddie breathes. “Shit, shit, shit, you’re right, shit, fuck, okay, I’ve gotta go, love you, bye!”

He hangs up before Steve can say anything else, stuffing his feet in his shoes and grabbing his keys before racing out.

He’s halfway to work before he realizes he’s hungry. He lays his head on his steering wheel at a red light, breathes. “Just five hours,” he tells himself. “I can make it five hours.”

Half an hour in, he’s not so sure. His hands aren’t as steady as they should be, but he hides it from his coworkers, takes another few deep breaths, and tries to trick himself by drinking more water.

Ten minutes later, a familiar maroon Beemer pulls up. Eddie’s heart thuds in his chest as he goes out to meet Steve.

“Sorry I’m late,” Steve grins. “I think I got caught by all the lights possible.” He grabs something from the passenger seat. A brown paper bag.

“You didn’t,” Eddie breathes.

“I did,” Steve admits. “I hope turkey’s okay.”

“Turkey’s fantastic,” Eddie promises. “Freakin’ food for the gods, when I’m this hungry.” He opens the bag. A sandwich, a small bag of chips, an apple. He laughs. “Jesus wept, Steve, I brought you three little muffins!”

“Yeah, and I meant it when I called you a lifesaver.” He tilts his head. “I’m curious about something, though. If you meant it.”

Eddie pauses with the sandwich halfway to his mouth. “Meant what?”

“Gotta go, love you, bye.”

“Oh.” Nausea makes its presence known. He brings the sandwich down. “Steve, I-”

Steve’s fingers land on his forearm. “The truth, Eds. Please.” He’s whispering, eyes big and hopeful, and Eddie feels some of that same hope filling him.

“Yeah,” he whispers back.

Steve grins again, steps back. “I’m picking you up tomorrow. Seven o’clock.”

“Okay,” Eddie whispers, watches as Steve drives away.

“Hi,” Eddie says breathlessly, opening the door before Steve could knock.

“Hi.” Steve chuckles. “Ready?”

“Yeah. Where are you taking me?”

“Where do you wanna go?”

Eddie bites his lip, slides into the passenger seat. “Dinner? I’m starving.”

Steve grins at him as he puts the car in gear. “Me too.”

A Crash Course to Boxing - The Perfect Weekend to Start Watching!

If you are someone who would like to get into watching professional boxing, but has found it too intimidating this is the perfect weekend for you!

While we don't have any huge superstars facing off, we have 3 amazing cards lined up from Saturday to Monday. They are all available to anyone that has an ESPN+ account (or is just comfortable finding sailing the 7 seas).

We are talking multiple world champions and some of the very best boxers alive today competing so it is 100% worth tuning in for. And since we have this line up, I figured I'd talk about each card and why they're worth watching.

Saturday, October 12th - Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol

Why Watch: This is the best fight that can be made in boxing in my humble opinion. Two of the P4P best fighters in the sport in the same division fighting for the undisputed title. Both have been incredibly dominant in completely opposite ways.

Artur Beterbiev is arguably the scariest finisher in boxing, having gone 20-0 while knocking out every single opponent he has faced to date. He holds 3 of the belts at 175lbs. Beterbiev is pathologically aggressive, breaking down his opposition over the course of his fights with devastating power and pressure. Dmitry Bivol is one of the most technically proficient boxers in the sport. Famous for handing Canelo Alvarez the 2nd loss of his career, Bivol's timing and footwork make him one of boxing's hardest nuts to crack. That's why he's gotten to 23-0. Easily one of the most compelling fights in combat sports at the moment.

There's some other good fights on the undercard (which won't be on ESPN+, but PPV. Yeah boxing is still weird). The best cruiserweight on the planet, Jai Opetaia (25-0) is defending his title against Jack Massey (22-2). On the women's side, Olympian Skye Nicolson (11-0) defends her world title against the UK's Raven Chapman (9-0). In terms of name value: Chris Eubank Jr. (33-3) is probably the biggest name on the card and will be facing Kamil Szeremeta (25-2-2).

Sunday - October 13th, 2024

Why Watch: Japanese promoter Teiken has made a habit of doing these double cards full of a bunch of title fights and I love them. The first of the two will take place on early Sunday morning. It'll feature 4 different world title fights, all featuring some of the funnest boxers in Japan at the moment.

First up, WBA bantamweight champion Takuma Inoue (20-1) will defend his title against Seiya Tsutsumi (11-0-2). Takuma is the brother of P4P star Naoya Inoue. A world champion in his own right, Takuma unfortunately doesn't have the power of his brother but is still a world class fighter and a damn good boxer. A win here would set up a unification bout with Junto Nakatani, another Japanese star. Seiya Tsutsumi is a former amateur standout in Japan that has quickly climbed the ranks to challenge for gold. He's been heralded as a future world champion for a while and even won and defended the Japanese BW title. He's also a dangerous finisher, making this a very fun fight to tune in for.

Perhaps the most accomplished fighter on the card is Kenshiro Teraji (21-1, 14 KOs). The former unified champion at light flyweight, Kenshiro is moving up to flyweight to chase another world title. He's one of the most exciting fighters in Japan and is coming off a FOTY contender in January against Carlos Canizales. He's facing off with Cristofer Rosales (37-6), who is himself a very dangerous flyweight. Should be an excellent scrap. We're also getting a fight featuring Seigo Yuri Akui (21-2) who is arguably the top flyweight in the world at the moment and the WBA champion.

Monday - October 14, 2024

Another early morning card from Japan.

Why Watch: Junto Nakatani (28-0, 21 KOs) is one of the emerging stars coming out of Japan. The WBC bantamweight champion first made waves in the US when he KOed Andrew Moloney in what was one of the best knockouts of 2023. He's recently appeared on Ring Magazine's P4P rankings. At 26, he has a lot of time to do some real damage at the world level. While this fight against a can-crusher like Petch Sor Chitpattana (76-1) isn't doing much for his legacy, it seems like it will be leading to a fight with both Inoue brothers if all things shake out the way they should. Which would be huge for boxing in Japan (and the world).

The 2nd reason to watch this card - Tenshin Nasukawa (4-0). Tenshin Nasukawa was the top P4P kickboxer on the planet when he left the sport to chase a boxing career. A feat he accomplished at like 24-25 years old. Now Tenshin is a full out boxer and has been looking every bit like a future world champion in the sport. He is facing far more experienced boxers and taking their lunch. He's not quite at the world title level yet but a win here against Gerwin Asilo (9-0) will only continue to nudge him up the ladder.

There are two other champions on this card worth knowing about - Anthony Olascuaga (7-1) and Kosei Tanaka (20-1). Got my first look at Olascuaga in his last fight where he looked like an absolute terror in the ring. Fast, accurate, and powerful for a flyweight, he took the WBO title with ease in a 3rd round KO win. Jonathan Gonzalez (28-3) is a very good fighter out of Puerto Rico who was the WBO light flyweight champion before moving up for this fight. Looking forward to that scrap. And Kosei Tanaka is a fun action fighter. Go watch that man slip punches and then flurry back with nice, crisp combinations in the pocket. Extremely satisfying.

Like I said, 3 terrific cards of boxing going down this weekend. If you've ever wanted to get into boxing these cards are a great entry.
