Hi hi hi! :D
m!LIs with an m!PC who likes being collared mayhaps?
ohohoh.
this is a fr comeback for me, i promise! again, please feel free to send prompts and art requests to my inbox so i have inspo to work with!!! (esp regarding my ocs hehe)
hcs below the cut, regular DOL tws apply:
LOW RAGE AVERY: He's more than pleased that you like being collared ā€” after all, it's just another opportunity for him to claim ownership over you. Your collar would be delicate and beautiful, though surprisingly not as eye-catching as one would expect (there is no need to be gauche, after all). However, the fragility of the material doesn't actually stop him from choking you with it when things get down and dirty. If he needs to buy a replacement, he shall.
HIGH RAGE AVERY: You don't get the privilege of having a collar you can hide. You belong to Avery and he is going to make damn sure you remember this. The collar is welded shut around your neck and has his name proudly emblazoned across the front ā€” that should teach you for your uppity behaviour (and if that doesn't help, the electrical shock built into the device certainly will). You've been a bad, bad boy, and Avery is not going to let you off the hook.
HIGH DOMINANCE ALEX: His farm is already filled with animals branded and leashed in one way or another, so he doesn't really raise an eyebrow at adding another to the collection. He makes sure your collar is hardy and leather, something capable of protecting your throat from the dangers of the moor and Remy's raids ā€” it's nothing fancy, but it's practical and comfortable, which is what matters around the farm. He eventually starts picking up the habit of leading you around by the collar, using the thick iron ring of it to pull you in for a quick kiss, or tying you to a post to ensure that you don't wander off while he runs to do an errand. (Sometimes you wonder if he's just treating you like another farm dog, but if he is, there's no doubt that you're the favourite)
LOW DOM ALEX: He would never be the first one to bring it up, but he does seem more excited than you expected him to be when you first broach the topic. The transition to 24/7 wear would be slower with him, but he learns to justify it to himself in his head (and he always flushes a bright crimson when he catches sight of your collared neck in the middle of the workday). He adds a little bell to the front of your collar so he can always hear your approach, and when the two of you sneak behind a bale for some 'unwinding' during the middle of the day, that bell tinkles away, signaling to all within earshot exactly what it is that you two are doing.
BLACK WOLF: What is this? Packmate has the cruel restraints made by the humans around his neck? It doesn't matter how much you try to explain to him that you actually enjoy being collared ā€” Black Wolf sees it as an insult to your freedom and dignity as a member of his pack. You are not one of those yipping little 'dogs' that the humans call pets, so he will be gnawing the collar off of you despite your protests (should you ever show up with one in front of him). Really, he will show you better ways the forest shows ownership and dominance.
EDEN: As a man of the woods, he recognizes the practical use of collars. It keeps the prey from running too far away when he's busy with his day, and he enjoys being able to pull them towards him should they be slightly resistant to the idea. The collars in his possession are obviously homemade, though they are surprisingly comfortable (if you ever go missing, you could rest easy knowing that the metal encasing your neck is tracking you wherever you go). But he would be rather happy to hear that you're still willing to wear the collar when he trusts you to go free ā€” it becomes a declaration of loyalty and ownership between you two, and more often than not, you can find his hand reaching towards the crude metal contraption as though in awe that you continue to carry his gift around your neck.
GREAT HAWK: What is this x2? Spouse is pretty having something around neck!! The colours are bright and shiny and Great Hawk is certain that he chose the best and prettiest spouse to take home!!! Much like birds tagged in scientific surveys, it appears as though the collar makes you ten times more attractive to avians seeking a mate. Though the Great Hawk doesn't quite understand the purpose of wearing something around your neck, he seems fascinated and intrigued by its presence ā€” always reaching out to preen around it as though maintaining its beauty. Maybe he would even attempt to build one of his own to present to you! But the loose loop of grasses and twigs woven together is best left unworn.
KYLAR: If he finds out you enjoy being collared, you may just wake up with a collar locked around your throat and no idea how it possibly could've gotten there (and how to get it off). He needs to know that you walk around the world under his ownership, he needs to know that everyone else in the world sees you and knows that you are his and his alone. If there are any suspicious stains on the fabric of the thing ā€” please disregard them. The patches of dark red and off-white are best left not examine too closely. (You swear the thing seems to be getting dirtier every night? But surely you'd wake up if he was indeed sneaking into your room to 'decorate'..... right?)
SYDNEY THE FAITHFUL: He doesn't quite understand the purpose of wearing a collar (you aren't exactly a dog wandering the streets), but he sees some logic in locking away various parts of oneself for protection. Though he's intrigued by the way light catches on metal every time you crane your head and look around, something within him is too humiliated to actually speak to you about it, so he just spends his time stealing glances to your neck and the collar resting there. Sometimes, when his feverish mind thinks of you at night, all he wants to do is to tear it off of you the same way he wishes to tear off the cage locking away his own shame.
SYDNEY THE FALLEN: He finds a certain perverse joy in displaying your sinful lifestyle to the world. Be prepared to be flooded with different styles of collars to try out and flaunt (working at a sex shop has it's perks, after all). He enjoys adding little touches to each one, scrawling out a 'beloved <3' or 'Sydney's' in the inner band so that only you could see. Most of all, he enjoys teasing the sensitive skin of your neck around and underneath the collar, leaving behind hickeys that perfectly compliments the degeneracy of the collar itself.
ROBIN: Is a little nervous about the idea of collars. Ownership is not a foreign idea to him, and he knows that once people understand you could be owned, they will stop at nothing to make sure you are. But then again, he loves you and wants to make you happy, so he obliges when you ask him to click that padded leather ring around your neck. Eventually, he even grows to like it, tapping or pulling lightly at the fabric whenever he wants to get your attention. It's almost like a form of dress-up, he decides ā€” and he certainly cannot fault someone for dressing up as something they very much are not.
WHITNEY: It doesn't matter if you like it or not, you're his bitch, so he's gonna make sure you know you're his bitch in whatever way he goddamn pleases. . . But on further consideration, a collar isn't a half-bad idea. Not that he'd actually consider a suggestion from the likes of you, of course. It only takes a visit to the sex shop and a few broken windows before he walks out with his bounty and clips it around your neck. It's way too tight and kind of hurts, but you know nothing is going to come of it if you complain. For the rest of the day, he ties a leash to it, randomly dragging you around and yanking the lead to watch you trip. But before he finally decides to leave, he beckons you closer to slightly loosen the pressure put on your neck. His touch is slightly more gentle now, the heat from his cigarette almost burning your skin as he peers at the collar from way too close a distance. This tenderness doesn't save you from him tying you to a stall in the boy's bathroom the next day, but it did exist for a mere moment nonetheless.

The Red Devil's Chronicles: September 2024 Devil May Cry News Update - Netflix, Actors, Etc.
Tumblr media
Hey there, how's it going? Here are the latest Devil May Cry-related news updates I've gathered: 1. New DMC1 Dante figure by Asmus Toys.
2. NSYNC's Lance Bass wants to voice as Dante in Devil May Cry.
3. The number of players in DMC Peak of Combat's dropping big time. b) Speaking of Peak of Combat, turns out that they have been possibly lying this entire time about Capcom supervising them.
4. Trish's Japanese voice passed away.
5. Capcom planning to continue with their IPs . b) Devil May Cry's current director Hideaki Itsuno leaves Capcom. c) Dante features in another Capcom promo art.
6. Presslee has made progress on their game.
7. Devil May Cry Netflix trailer has dropped! b) New content of the Netflix series will be showing on the 26th. c) And Adi hints at possible other familiar characters appearing in it.
8. Dante's voice Reuben Langdon is retiring from acting. b) Poor Johnny (Nero's voice) feels bad about sending out that info. c) But he has plans to bring him back.
My Thoughts On These Updates: 1. Asmus toys did a pretty good job on this figure. I can't help but notice, though....Why do most figure-making companies that make Dante figures have to always shade his lips too dark?
2. It's nice that Lance is passionate about voice acting. But...Yeeeeeaaaah, he needs to stay away from Dante...It's bad enough that he was chosen to voice Sephiroth in the 1st Kingdom Hearts game. Glad that didn't last for him 'cause he wasn't a good Sephiroth fit. I'm okay with whoever he voices, as long as his voice and acting match the character.
3. So Capcom still hasn't done anything about the whole Peak of Combat situation I see....And hard to believe that they possibly have been lying this entire time about any of the Capcom staff supervising. Well, at the same time I'm not surprised since Nebula Joy's a scummy company.
4. May Atsuko Tanaka rest in peace....61 is still fairly young....Dang....
5. Makes me wonder what IPs Capcom plans to continue with....Now that Itsuno and other members of the Devil May Cry dev team are gone... Dante is featured on their promo art again, and he has been ranked as the number 1 favourite character from Capcom, so here's hoping that we do see another Devil May Cry game in the future, and hope that it's as good, if not better than what we've had.
6. It's awesome that Presslee's made progress on their game. Makes me wonder what other content will be added.
7. Despite the Netflix series not tying with the games, I have high curiosities on how this is gonna turn out, and am excited for it. Pretty cool how Johnny Bosch kinda got his wish of finally voicing Dante (for those of you unaware, he has auditioned to voice as Dante in DMC3, DMC4, and DMCV before Reuben took over).
8. It's really too bad about Reuben's leave...Well, it was great while it lasted. If he wants to move forward with something else, then we should let him. People really need to chill and need to stop acting like a bunch of whiny and emotional karens when they don't get their way with things (I saw one post on Twitter/X from someone where they threatened to off themselves if he's not gonna voice Dante anymore). There are other actors out there, and all we can do is hope this new actor for Dante, if another Devil May Cry game gets made, that they're as good, if not better than Reuben. It would be cool if he can make cameo appearances in some Capcom media whenever he decides to take a few voice gigs. Johnny does plan to encourage him to come back if a Devil May Cry 6 is made, so let's see what happens from there.

CAP I FORGOT TO READ CHAPTER 73.
I WROTE SHIT ABOTU IT HERE YOU GO IT'S MOSTLY JUST ME FREAKING OTU
SPOILERS BELOW AND ALL THAT
Balad to cap
Ok so why didnā€™t i ever read chapter 73. I forgot about it? I have zero clue why that happened.
Its a very fun chapter too, it feels quite chill and is a good transition alongside tying up loose ends
Iā€™m glad it talks about Alya being like ā€œwhy tf are they over thereā€Ā 
God Iā€™m still so curious about the seeds planted of clues for Julekaā€™s identity, plus idk why but Iā€™m still 90% certain adrien will randomly find out
I know he wonā€™t but my brain is convinced
Help genderfluid Anarka i love her to pieces sheā€™s such a terror (and i adore when you make her speak in a scottish accent, itā€™s so dear to me)
Interesting.. Luka teaches Kim guitar? Iā€™m curious about Lukaā€™s totally normal life aside from the furry for a sister, he tries so hardā€¦
Oh.Ā 
Now thats an interesting tidbit
Luka can tell how in her own head Juleka is? Very intriguing for him to call them delusionsā€¦ I wonder how different pieces of this fic would be if they were from another perspective, especially the sheer level of danger the characters are in and how monstrous Juleka sees herself vs the reality of her protecting herselfĀ 
My thoughts are going to when she Prince Shining (that was his name right?) Itā€™s one of my favorite original Akumas behind Wicket Witch and Little Red (which I am realising now is because of the background to themā€¦ Akuma hit harder when there is a buildup, huh. Something to keep in mind for my own writing.) That was fun to see, how worried the class was vs how confused that made Juleka
How people perceive others and myself has always been interesting to me, so this is right up my alley
Back to Luka
Oh curious, of course Luka would want to protect Julekaā€¦ I wonder if Marinette will try to make him a holder as well, Iā€™m not sure if that secret identity would last the hour to be honest
The fact that we still donā€™t have much model Juleka content (aside from a piece of art you did a few years ago, or maybe that was someone else) makes me feel crazy! Itā€™s an aspect of her that Iā€™m really curious to see how you write it
Iā€™ve got fun concepts for her in my own shit, and ANYWAY! Ui brought it up because Anarka was talking about sending Juleka there.Ā 
Sorry, Iā€™m both making notes on like 2 pieces of writing, writing 2 different scenes in totally different chapters and writing this and reading chapter 73 and cooking dinner. Can you tell I am diagnosed with ADHD?Ā 
Woohoo for Fei saving people
Fei being scared and unsettled by Juleka is so funny help-
Aww, Juleka giving Fei interview practice is adorable
I need to reread at some point to see if we get to see how marinette sees Juleka compared to Panthera (hey, itā€™s me being obsessed with how people perceive others again, tbh thatā€™s prolly why I am so excited to write my miraculous thing, there are someā€¦ extra layers that should make it funny)Ā 
Sure you dont have a concussion Juleka, like Iā€™ll believe that
MODEL LORE?? AUWG>/?
WOOO
MODEL SHIT IS HAPPENING I TAKE BACK ALL MY IMPATIENCE CAP I APOLOGISE
AND HER DRESS IS BASED OFF OF DUSSUU OR HOWEVER YOU SPELL IT???
CRAY=ZY.
HOYL SHIT]I THOUGT]F
ROSE WAS BEING A SAP. ACCEPTABLE.Ā 
BUT.
SO YOU DO WORK WITH THE HEORES>545FRUNEIODWS
DUED
Oh my god if eel insaneĀ 
Help
Not Juleka slagging off herself to Rose she is so insaneĀ 
Wait
WHAT.
GABRIEL HAS TRIED TO AKUMATISE JULEKA A LOT? HOLY SHIT
This chapter is full of revaltions
Insane about everything her what the fuck
this is mostly me freakign out, sozzles its also really short. time for chapter 74!
this was a really good chapter i feel insane that i forgot to read it
YAYYYYY IM SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED!!!!!
i wanted to set up the mood for season 3- i hope it makes you excited!!!!!

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers ā•°(Ā“ļø¶`)ā•Æā™”
;0;! Oh jeez ok ā˜€ļø šŸ˜Œ
Frogs- this one might be kinda obvious I guess based on my blog title and all but I really like frogs and toads and tadpoles I think theyā€™re really fascinating little critters and every time I learn something new about frogs it makes me feel all sparkly. Like they swallow when they blink- because their eyes go down into the body and it squishes food down their throat. Isnā€™t that WILD? Nature is so cool. (-unfortunately thereā€™s one Toad I canā€™t stand because the way she carries her babies makes me freak out. Sorry Suriname Toad! If trypophobia is a problem for you donā€™t look her up šŸ„°)
Scented Plushies- I loveā€¦ being able to smush my face into a soft plush animal and smell a pleasant smell. (I like sweet/fruity/pastry kinda smells) Itā€™s likeā€¦ IDK I have a bunch of them in my bed with me so I can pick one to cozy up with and it helps me sleep? (I have to sleep with a plush animal anyways, the way I sleep Iā€™ll fuck up my shoulders if I donā€™t have Little Guy Support lol.) but also uh. Yeah Build A Bear has insertable smells and they last for like ever and theyā€™re really pleasant ;; my favorite I think is their seasonal Pumpkin Spice, but I also really loved their other seasonal, Sunken Treasure, it was like, mango-y ā€¦
Pork Katsu- whenever we make it at home itā€™s kind of a special occasion cos it takes some doin, tryin stuff yk, but itā€™s always SO GOODā€¦ we never have enough leftovers for Katsudon the next day lmfao. Oh thereā€™s also a little restaurant inside the Hmart we go to, they do Katsu Sandwiches? And they come with a Fruit Sando too (itā€™s filled with seasonal fresh fruit and whip cream and itā€™s SO PRETTY and tastes SOOOO good.) gotta be one of my top tens of food (both kinda of sandwich LOL, but also just Pork Katsu. I group them together mentally as one thing in my brain šŸ¤”)
Dark Chocolate Terryā€™s Orange - already drooling thinkin about that Winter only treat auuuuuā€¦. Itā€™s just so good, and itā€™s easy to snack off of for like, weeks. Cos you slap it on the table a bunch and it has a bunch of fake orange wedges made of dark chocolate to Nomf on. If you like chocolate and Orange you should try one once, I think theyā€™re pretty great! I think some off-brands also makes like, ones with fillings like mint and raspberry? Theyā€™re pretty decent too from what I rememberā€¦ (oops.. double food Happies. Well.! Food makes me happy!!!)
Leaving my Rambling Gushing Tags on peoples art also makes me really happy tbh itā€™s just not something I can condense into one-two words for the bold and color format I started - lol. But I for real get so excited seeing the stuff people create (I count gpose as art actually, itā€™s a creative outlet!!! Art!!) and I donā€™t have a LOT of art technical terms- itā€™s been a while since high school so I donā€™t even fully remember the terms they taught me back then- but Iā€™m still like. Idk I see a cool shot, or a piece of art, and my heart becomes like, thunderstorm on the ocean, crash boom!!!!! So I write a bunch of tags pointing out what I like and what I think (with restraint, sometimes, I try not to thirst tag too heavily since I donā€™t want to make people uncomfortable and like. Block me LMFAO then I wouldnā€™t get to see their cool characters/art anymore yk) and I just. I hope it makes them happy too? But thinking that it might/does make them happy to get ramble excited tags (cos I do Lmfao) makes me really happy too? Idk. I just wanna put out good energy on peopleā€™s stuff. Encourage them to keep pursuing their hobbies? They cared enough to post it so others could see it which meant they wanted to show others, rather than not posting it all and keeping it to themselves, and, idk. This got really long LOL. I just have a lot of feelings about this i guess. Ty for sending this ask btw itā€™s been fun to answer ;w;

LMAOO itā€™s so funny how both Rin and sae have the same number of letters in their name the censoring can work both ways
AHAHAH you fr just get possessed and channel the energy instead of kaneshiro or kiyora itā€™s aiku now maybe thatā€™s why you have crazy rizz too
IM CRYING the way the TikTok is so specific and fits perfectly how did you just have that on hand (ig itā€™s a sign pursuit truly meant to be)
SHOELIVER STOP why did i imagine a shoe and a liver HSHSSHSH BUT YES THATS THE ULTIMATE NAME
Wait spewpa fits so well another pokemon pairing Wā€¦Iā€™ve also never watched either series I just know people memeing about it LMAOO BUT YEAH from what Iā€™ve seen itā€™s just everyoneā€™s kids THE WEDDING SCENE IS CRAZY no because the brides side is STACKED (Barouā€™s soul descends from the sky to shed some tears /j) omg Charles DOES give the bug kid energy guysā€¦
I LOVE MIKAGES MUSTACHE LMFAOO the houndoom arcanine fusion is so funny itā€™s giving digimon (I think) you should just add a red noodle in the bgā€¦.one big squiggleā€¦.modern contemporary art weā€™ll know that it represents her red gyarados as well as the red string of fate tying them all together (insert the akshually nerd meme here)
THE DIAGRAMS the way that itā€™s all in cursive too has me sending because reading ā€œfuckass butler codedā€ in cursive the vibes have me crying I love it though itā€™s so iconic (Iā€™m ngl though my eyes moved too fast and I read that as butter at first so I was like huhā€¦.? Now imagine Karasu in one of those ridiculous Halloween outfits and heā€™s just a stick of butter with a hole for his face and his arms out on the side) ninja wannabe otoya is so real but the way that he makes Karasu carry all his shit is giving when a girl tells her man to carry her purse and bags LMFAOAOA long coat Karasu >>>> ok imagine his coattails are actually kinda shaped like wings though omg the bird motif goes hard I know some people donā€™t like long coats generally but I think it looks soooo good on him!! Wait ok Iā€™m imagining he wears some like button up under the coat imagine him with rolled up sleeves and the glovesā€¦..karasu the man you areā€¦.ok but i fr love the diagrams if you ever make more do showā€¦
Side stories guys side storiesā€¦imagine you sandwich them between arcs like how they do beach episodes and fillers guys can someone actually pitch this to an animation studio (not eight bit) the mc slander is CRAZY LMAOO I love that dynamic to the reader and co group
Otoya acts cool but heā€™s so be fangirling over that like you know that one face he makes where heā€™s like happy/content and his eyes kinda turn into rectangles/lines and heā€™s throwing a like surfer hand thing (WOW this is why I donā€™t write) or like when animeā€™s add the like shoujo pink bright sparkly flower fx yeah thatā€™s what Iā€™m imagining but CRYING I THINK SO?? Prince being like wow Karasu youā€™re pretty strong! I immediately started playing the Justin Bieber that should be me audio in my mind congrats youā€™re now forever associated with him
LMAOO considering that even kaneshiro gave Barou some crack moments (maid Barou) id agree Barou and crack work so well im so excited to read about the goofy shenanigans im prepared to fr laugh my ass off
WAIT THE BUILD ME A PKMN TEAM IS GENIUS I gotta go brush up on my dex knowledge know and get prepared pursuit really opening up all these opportunities and ideas
Thatā€™s fr me anytime I use a non auto saving software like Iā€™ll move my cursor an inch to the left and press save (Karasu over Isagi any day straight facts)
Wait no because I NEVER see Reo hate I actually usually only see Reo defenders/glazers and they like fully blame Nagi for EVERYTHING and Iā€™m like are we gonna ignore the toothbrush scene /hj (I thought it was funny for comedic effect but people also take it way too seriously but also the dependency goes crazy) and fr!! Actually I think the sub idea is pretty good the copy ability reminds me of a character from Kurokoā€™s basketball whoā€™s really good but not number one because of the limitations the copy has (heā€™s able to copy 100% but only for a limited time because stamina energy typical sports stuff) but I agree Nagi being a miracle is kinda his brandā€¦.
IM CRYING THE NAGI TIKTOK your fyp is actually insane ok but glad it didnā€™t delete the entire thing wait im gonna do a wc of this to see how long our responses usually are this oneā€™s 797 words counting ā€œareā€ as the end sooooo
LMAOOO Barouā€™s one insecurity is his tiny ass nose /j lowk I kinda like how ironic it is like youā€™ve got big angry ripped man with a cute little nose
- Karasu anon
LMAOO NO LITERALLY like it could really be either one but i feel like i tend to talk abt them very differently so even through the censor itā€™s kind of obvious?? like rin i at least acknowledge that heā€™s pretty and iā€™d like him more if he werenā€™t popular but saeā€¦my opp fr /j /j sae fans donā€™t hate me
no because thatā€™s literally how it feels like people will ask me for writing tips and iā€™ll just be like i wish i could help but my process is just be chronically online -> get inspo from a random tik tok audio -> get possessed by the character iā€™m writing for -> end up with a fully formed fic a few hours/days/weeks later LMAOAOAO it just happens
THE TIK TOK HAD ME CRYINGGG i saw it and was immediately like omg pursuit reoy/nā€¦pursuit references are everywhere itā€™s a sign from the universe that it needs to happen fr!!
shoeliver best duo and HAHA no because that lowkey fitsā€¦i know in hindi itā€™s a common thing for momā€™s to threat to throw a shoe at their kids when theyā€™re mad (it sounds better in hindi i fear) which lowkey is giving barou??? and liver -> lover and aiku is a lover of many women fr
CHARLES THE BUG KID OF ALL TIME the wedding would be so crazy imagine nagiy/nā€™s son looking at kiyora like ā€œtwin šŸ˜Ÿ where have you been ā‰ļøā€ honestly that mixture of personalities in one room is just crazy workā€¦why not throw in grandpa chris prince sponsoring the wedding while weā€™re at it /hj HAHAAH grandpa lavinho as the djā€¦grandpa noel noa the officiantā€¦grandpa snuffy the only one who doesnā€™t get drunk and helps clean upā€¦šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
the funniest thing is mikage doesnā€™t even have a mustache like that in canon?? like he has slight stubble but he was giving too many aiku vibes so i decided to drip him out and give him the full villain stache FBXJSJSH omg gyarados as nagi and readerā€™s red thread youā€™re cooking hereā€¦nah because we were talking abt how chaotic the nagiy/n daughter + charles wedding would be imagine the tullireo and nagiy/n weddings absolutely INSANE work šŸ˜Ø
okay because hear me out maybe when heā€™s just training karasu takes the coat off and rolls the sleeves of his shirt up to his elbows and undoes the top couple of buttons of his shirt šŸ¤¤ i have a very specific vision of him post-training with reader sitting on a log or smth and heā€™s slightly sweaty (enough that his hair is just a bit messy but not enough that heā€™s gross yk) and he has the gloves on and his fletchling is sitting on his right forearm and heā€™s scratching it for doing a good job KFHCISJS KARASUUU we mustnā€™t foldā€¦nah because why are both of readerā€™s brother figured such baddies bro forget being y/n and getting w nagi i need aegislash to isekai me in there so i can get with her brothers ā€¼ļø /hj
nah because get pursuit to pokĆ©mon studios fr the plot goes so crazy iā€™d single-handedly revive the anime with it (jk or am i??) and yes i think thatā€™s the plan!! like toss in the side stories in between interconnected arcs and relate them to the previous arc (so not after every arc but for example after the arcs where reader and co meet up and where they meet manshine trio there can be a mini side story of nagi getting his growlithe or smth)
PLEASEEE THE SHOUJO FLOWERS meanwhile otoyaā€™s wearing his all black emo coded fit the duality >>> literally chris prince sees karasuā€™s talonflame and as the fire type elite four member heā€™s like ā€œwow thatā€™s a great pokĆ©mon you take great care of itā€ and karasuā€™s like ā€œheh thanks man šŸ˜…ā€ maybe this is what inspires otoya to sign up for the chris prince scam egg gift program that gets him his ninetales HFJSDKSJ
barou is so fun because you can see him in a more serious role like pursuit but he also works well in a crack situation!! heā€™s such a versatile character we love him for thatā€¦like for example shidou and aiku i would mostly only write in those lighter situations whereas almost anything i do with nagi ends up leaning towards more serious just because Iā€™M serious abt him (jkjk) barou can do it all thatā€™s why we must stan
RIGHT I THINK IT COULD BE REALLY FUN AS AN OPTION iā€™ll def see if i can think of anything else but this is def a strong contender!!
THATā€™S WHAT Iā€™M SAYINGGG all i see are reo and chigiri fans slamming on nagi where are the mysterious nagi fans that hate on reo or donā€™t acknowledge chigiri??? maybe itā€™s a twitter thing but all iā€™m seeing are nagi haters nowadays šŸ˜’ tbh i think thatā€™s another reason i forgot i liked chigiri HDKSDK his stans are crazyyyy either they overly feminize him, gas him up toooo much at the expense of every other character (yes he consistently slays but at the end of the day when things are said and done i donā€™t think he can compete with a fully motivated/unlocked nagi SORRY), or both šŸ˜­ REMIND ME WHO GOT REPLACED IN THE U20 MATCH šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤” all jokes ofc i do love chigiri and yes heā€™s currently carrying manshine but i thought we all agreed that this is just a character development arc for nagiā€¦anywaysā€¦
PLS THE TIK TOK WAS SO GOOD sometimes you just have to laugh šŸ˜­ and speaking of tik toks i found another barou edit hehe the intro is wild i lowkey lost it at the spongebob JFDJSKA also iā€™m sorry i donā€™t have any other friends into bllk so you get all of my silly videos HAHAAH
LMAOO no i agree itā€™s very cute it fits his off field personality!! his isnā€™t as tiny as karasuā€™s in the trailer either omg karasuā€™s is so tinyā€¦not in a bad way though i kind of love it i think itā€™s adorableā€¦anyways i think iā€™m the only person whoā€™s not wigging out over the trailer literally everywhere i go itā€™s just people being insane over it like yā€™all PLEASE relax i think we will be okay!!

this is your chance: wax poetic about an Empires or DSMP character of your choice to a fan who is new to both. Explain why I should love them. I need guidance in this new and meme-populated land.
okok this is a lot of pressure haha. Spoilers for EmpiresSMP and DreamSMP below, obviously. I wrote a lot so prepare yourself, anon
I watch a lot of empires POVs but the ones I most anticipate every week are Scott and Sausage.
c!Scott (I'll call him Smajor for the sake of simplicity) starts off the series chilling, not really getting involved with the rest of the server, and staying aggressively neutral. After all, he's an elf. He has lived far longer than most of the other rulers already, and will most likely outlive them for many years. So, the best thing is to stick to his mountains and not get invested in the dealings of mortal affairs, maybe sometimes causing problems on purpose and dipping because what's life without a little spice right.
But then, this demon comes to the server, Xornoth. He's going around causing havoc and wants to send the world into an eternal winter, but he doesn't bother the kingdom of Rivendell much so Smajor stays tentatively cautious but ultimately unbothered. But then, the puzzle pieces start falling together. The first thing that the audience noticed was was Xornoth sounded like Smajor, but we mostly thought that this was just due to cc!Scott voicing both of them and there was nothing more to it. However, then, the people the demon starts possessing start chanting in elvish. The demon hates mortals, and the elves are conveniently one of the two confirmed not fully mortal races in Empires.
This culminates when Smajor stumbles across a cave that contains the backstory of the patron god of Rivendell, Aeor. Basically, there's two opposing forces, Aeor and Exor, and both have a champion. In a previous life, those champions were two brothers, where Aeor eventually prevailed and banished Exor. In this life though, the champions are - you guessed it - Smajor, and the demon Xornoth.
So now Smajor is like. Well fuck. It's my literal god-given destiny to be responsible for defeating this demon who is technically my brother, and if I fail the server gets plunged into an eternal winter. And I have no fucking clue what is happening because I've just been here on this mountain actively trying to stay out of the issues outside my kingdom. We watch him panic and teeter on the verge of spiraling for an entire episode, and when the followers of Xornoth go to the End to kill the dragon, releasing Xornoth's full powers, he fails to stop him. Smajor is a character who was used to being the smart one, the prepared one, the one who has the least deaths on the server. But he's also a character who runs away from his problems and ignores them. Before and during the dragon fight, we hear the desperation in his voice, as he's thrown into a situation he is wholly unprepared for, and it's bigger than him going to the Cod Empire to kill their king, or assisting in other people's plans to kill the codfather. He can't run from this. cc!Scott plays this scene so well as well, as I've said before, one of the best parts of Scott's acting is how he's never super dramatic, but he's so effective in the little things like inflection to make you feel, viscerally, the panic and dread.
So after the dragon fight, Smajor realizes, I can't do this on my own. I've tried and failed. So he gets allies. We watch him, someone who has so strongly been an isolationist, learn the benefits of allies and watch him learn to trust others and watch him learn how to get that trust in return.
My favorite thing about Smajor's characterization is that he's an incompetent protagonist, but not in the way of the "plucky young adventurer". He's capable skill-wise, and fairly jaded and very pessimistic. However, his issue is that up until recently, he did not care about the rest of the server at all, and by the time he learned to, it was way too late.
Also, in 3rd Life, cc!Scott and cc!Jimmy were canonically married and they reference it sometimes in Empires. Like, Scott goes over to the Cod Empire every so often both in and out of character to kill and/or flirt with Jimmy, the ruler of the Cod Empire, which may develop as a secondary plot into the future who knows. So ty Scott for giving the gays what they want o7
Now onto Sausage: his is a story of Icarus, his hubris and ambition being his downfall. He's one of the two followers of Xornoth, who promised him endless power in exchange for his servitude. He started the series being eccentric, but not outright unhinged, but slowly gets more and more extreme as the series progresses, as he gets brought more and more to Xornoth's side.
One of the best parts of Sausage's character, in my opinion, is how his gradual corruption affects the people around him. Initially, he got into a conflict with the Cod Empire and was allied with two other people in the Witherrose alliance. They were allies, but also close friends. The fandom liked to joke that the three had sibling energy, and I'm pretty sure the ccs played to that even more lol.
It was painful to watch the other two members, Gem and fWhip, watch Sausage get corrupted right in front of them, and see them desperately clinging on to this old idea of Sausage in their head because if they faced the truth, it would mean that their friend was gone. Eventually, they do finally cut him out of the alliance, leading him to fully commit to the side of the demon. Sausage felt very clearly betrayed by this, and declared the remaining two Witherrose alliance members to be enemies.
He gets more and more possessed, and we even see the other Empires, his enemies even, slowly realize that something is very wrong with the ruler of Mythland. He starts doing more and more evil things, like killing people more, making sacrifices to the demon, and eventually helping to kill the dragon to free Xornoth. So things are good for Sausage, for a bit. He won, and is more powerful than ever. Then he finds out: he's going to die. Xornoth's possession is slowly killing his soul, and eventually, his body going to be fully taken over and he himself is going to be trapped in the spirit realm. So how do you react to this? Over the next few episodes, we watch Sausage struggle between "the demon is literally killing me" and "the demon has given me so much, and I love it", all while Xornoth takes over more and more of him. We hear him exclaim that "don't worry!! I'm still about 15% there!" while trying to downplay every time Xornoth completely takes over his body. We watch him willingly oppose anyone who is trying to end the thing that is killing him.
My favorite thing about Sausage is that he is undoubtedly evil and proud of it, but he's also undoubtedly human. If you like to watch evil characters go absolutely feral, he's the guy for you. He makes the deal with Xornoth in the beginning, knowing and fully embracing the evilness of the demon, but at the same time he knows what he's doing is detrimental to both himself and everyone around him, but he's gotten in way too deep at this point, and to be fair the demon has held up its end fo the bargain, right?
Also, I would be damned if I don't talk about cc!Sausage's editing. Every one of his videos is like a movie. The way he does camera angles and uses music is so skillful- every lore scene feels like something out of a high fantasy action saga (think: LotR). Every big lore event I always wait in anticipation for Sausage's ep because his editing truly takes lore to another level.
I'm just generally very excited to see where this series goes. Empires is such a good mix of talented builders and good lore. Part of the reason why the series is so immersive for me, beyond any other lore smp, is that they have the settings to back it up. There is a certain charm to the DreamSMP's objectively terrible builds (with a few exceptions) but in Empires, the settings help sell the plot so much.
Another part of why I love EmpiresSMP is how much the ccs are involved with the fan community. I'm sure you've seen the memes about Scott being on tumblr, and Sausage regularly goes through the EmpiresSMP fanart tag on Twitter and likes art, even ones not related to Mythland. Most of the ccs, in fact, have brought up tumblr content on stream at some point or another. Like, several ccs have said that they read tumblr lore theories and hcs and stuff and sometimes take inspiration from them. Fun fact: Rivendell's church was inspired by my pinned drawing; confirmed by Scott Smajor himself. It's just such a good cycle of ccs and fans being excited about each other.
As for DreamSMP, I'm gonna be honest here, the only person I really am invested in in Technoblade. I started watching when he joined the server, and he's the only person whose lore I keep up to date with.
Techno's fun to watch because he's like the Deadpool of DreamSMP. Virtually unkillable, very skilled and scary, but consistently cracks jokes and breaks the 4th wall during plot. His POV is just fun. Like, he does wild plans and gives speeches and some of the stuff that happens to him should be called deus ex machine if it wasn't for the fact that Technoblade is the one who's doing it, and all the stuff is grounded in the fact that cc!Techno is just that good at the game.
However, the fact that he rarely takes anything seriously makes the few times Techno is 100% serious so much more impactful. His whole character has a basis in being perceived as inhuman and being treated as such, and therefore in return trying to hide his humanity. So, when he shows that humanity, whether that's fear, anger, or genuine love for his friends, it really makes you go "oh shit."
Techno's often said not to have character development, but I'd argue that while he remains steadfast in his moral code, he develops leaps and bounds as a person. Like, at the beginning, he's brought onto the server to help Wilbur and Tommy overthrow a government; them knowing he's 1) an anarchist and 2) very very powerful. His character was more of a plot device at that point and was treated as such in the canon. Wilbur and Tommy straight-up lie to him about their plans to establish another government after they overthrow the current one, while he was led on to believe that they were abolishing all governments in the area. But he isn't a plot device. He's a person, as much as he only shows the terrifying, blood god side of himself.
After the establishment of New Lmanburg (the new government its a long story), his friend Phil joins. And for the first time, we see him be fully human with someone and we see someone treat him like a human. Like, we saw glimpses before, with Wilbur and Tommy in Pogtopia, but Phil is the first person we noticeably see he trusts 100%. Then Doomsday happens, and Techno essentially retires to the tundra. During this time, we see Techno learn to be more human, first with Ranboo, then Niki when he establishes the Syndicate. In fact, the two of them, along with Phil, canonically throw him a birthday party, which is a far cry from his treatment in Pogtopia.
Techno's development is one of a god learning to be human, and I just think he <3

title:
stranger (like something old has joined with something new)
because i miss big fish LMAO -šŸ’„
okay i'm sure we ALL know where my mind originally went: jack and davey fall in love, jack and davey break up, jack and davey get back together and have a happy ending. i have written SOOO many fics with this premise.
but that's not what i'm gonna talk about.
so, when i think of this,, my mind immediately goes to some sort of reincarnation au. i know that there are so many of them out there for Newsies (because i've probably read all of them lmfao), but it's one of my favorite tropes! i've just personally never written anything like it, so this was really exciting for me!!!
anyway, the fic would start in modern era. jack kelly is 26. he's an artist, and by some miraculous stroke of luck, he's already pretty successful in the art world; social media has probably helped him a lot, but his paintings are really good. he usually does photorealism, but he dabbles in landscapes and abstract design; he sells prints online and does personal commissions and he truly loves what he does.
but there's one thing tying all of his pieces together: a boy.
it's someone that jack has no recollection of ever seeing, and it's almost unnerving how natural it feels to put this boy into his paintings. well, maybe not "boy"- he looks slightly different in each one, in terms of age. never looking younger than 15 or 16, never looking older than 24 or 25. sometimes, he shows up in the form of a silhouette. sometimes, he's just another face in a crowd. sometimes, all you can see of him is a hand, with fair skin and long finger. more often than not, his face is what's captured in most detail: eyes a brilliant blue, framed by strong brows and an angular nose, with sharp cheekbones and a striking jawline.
jack doesn't know why he seems to show up in every painting (beside personal commissions). jack doesn't know why this boy's design is so engraved in his brain. no one ever notices the commonalities.
jack doesn't understand, but then he runs into a man, who can't be more than 24 or 25, on the subway. the man looks familiar. eyes a brilliant blue, framed by strong, dark brows and an angular nose, with sharp cheekbones and a striking jawline.
and this man is a stranger. jack knows he's a stranger. jack knows he's never spoken to this man before.
but before jack can stop himself, he says the name "davey."
he's obviously caught off-guard by himself; jack had no idea where it came from, since he doesn't know this man, and he's ready to apologize and run away when he looks up and sees the man staring straight back at him, frozen, like everything has finally clicked.
and the man nods, bewildered, and whispers, "jack."
and the rest is history! i'm a sucker for artist jack, of course, and i love it when jack has a Thing that shows up in all of his works, and it's even more special when that Thing is davey :) i loved this thank u !!
send me some more fake fic title prompts!!

Why, why, why
University student!Yuta x reader
Genre: slightĀ enemies to lovers au, a bit of angst, a lot of fluff, and several mixups
Summary: You just got into uni and decided to move in with your childhood friend!Taeyong at the city where you are going to study. As youā€™re about to start your new, adult life, you meet his friends, and you realize that not everyone likes you. Nakamoto Yuta in particular almost seems like he hates you.Ā 
A/N: In this fic, Jonghyun from NUā€™EST appears for a while (just to avoid confusion). Also, wow I never thought Iā€™d post this. I hope you guys like it.Ā 
Warnings: n/a
Part 1/? NextĀ 
Starting a new life in a new city was not something easy, yet you were enthusiastic about it. You got to study the subject you wanted at your top-choice University, Film studies and screenwriting, and what made it even better was that Taeyong, your childhood friend ever since you remembered yourself, was at the very same city, studying Performance arts, with a focus on dance.
When he first found out that you were accepted, he immediately asked you to move in with him. You matched in a lot of things, so you wouldnā€™t have issues living together and you would most definitely feel completely at ease with each otherā€™s presence. It was just perfect. So, when he told you he had found a bigger house with two bedrooms that would fit the both of you, you were extremely happy, especially since your parents said they would help with the rent. You were ready to pack our bags and send them to the new house, while Taeyong did the same with a little help from his friends. He had told you that, as soon as your plane arrived, he was going to pick you up and introduce you to them, as theyā€™d help you clean the house as well.
The night before your flight, you sat with your parents in the living room since you wouldnā€™t see them for the next few months.
ā€œAre you sure you donā€™t want us to come with you? We can book a ticket right now,ā€ your mother told you as she held you in her arms.
ā€œMom, weā€™ve already sent my bags to the house, so you wonā€™t need to help with anything. Plus, Taeyong will be there, and he said that his friends are going to help us clean the house. Iā€™ll send you pictures when weā€™re done, and you can visit whenever you want. Ā Not too often though,ā€ you said, making your mother laugh and kiss your cheek. Your father wasnā€™t talking much, but you knew he felt the same way. As time went by, you had to go to sleep, knowing that your flight was early in the morning, but realized that this wasnā€™t an option. You were clearly a bit stressed, considering that you were about to start a completely new life, and you were also excited, as it was going to be exactly like you wanted it to be. So, you texted Taeyong.
You: Canā€™t sleep.
TY: We have a lot of cleaning to do, so you should. Iā€™m staying at Yutaā€™s tonight, since our house is a mess, and weā€™re picking you up tomorrow at 10. Weā€™ll get some coffee and start immediately.
You: Ā We?
TY: Yuta has a car.
You: Oh, so heā€™ll be the first one Iā€™ll meet. I just hope he and the rest of your friends will like me. I donā€™t want to bother, really.
TY: What are you talking about? Youā€™ll be fine. Theyā€™ll love you. Theyā€™re cool. They wonā€™t make you feel uncomfortable, trust me.
You: I just hope youā€™re right. The last thing I want is to be a burden.
TY: Just stop thinking about this and fall asleep. Youā€™re saying nonsense. See you tomorrow.
The next morning, you were tired as hell. You had only slept four hours because of how stressed you were, but you werenā€™t going to let that get to you. You got dressed and grabbed the only bag youā€™d have with you on the plane and went to your parents. After taking a sip from your momā€™s coffee and a slice of your grandmaā€™s cake, you were ready to go. That plane wasnā€™t leaving without you.
You arrived at the airport and went to your gate. You texted Taeyong that the plane was leaving on time and boarded. You found your seat and put your earphones on, so that you could get some sleep for the next two hours.
When you landed and got off the plane, you found your way towards the exit, spotting Taeyong among the people waiting for their loved ones. He was talking to someone, whom you assumed was Yuta. As you were getting closer, you couldnā€™t help but think that he was cute, better than you had already seen in the pictures that Taeyong occasionally sent. You brushed the thought off and shouted at Taeyong, who ran towards you and hugged you with all his strength.
ā€œIā€™ve missed you so much!ā€ you said, squeezing him as well.
ā€œI canā€™t wait to live with you, Y/N. Weā€™re gonna have so much fun!ā€ He kissed your cheek, which was something he did quite often throughout your friendship and took your bag from your shoulders.
ā€œTaeyong, you donā€™t need to take it, really.ā€
ā€œAh, come on, I know you havenā€™t slept, and this is my hospitality before we actually arrive home, where both of us will work our butts off. But first, coffee.ā€ He started walking, until he heard your voice stopping him.
ā€œUh, arenā€™t you forgetting something?ā€
ā€œNo, I donā€™t think- oh my god! This is Yuta!ā€ he exclaimed, and Yuta chuckled. ā€œYuta, this is Y/N.ā€
ā€œItā€™s nice to meet you,ā€ he said, extending his arm for a handshake.
ā€œItā€™s nice to meet you too. Iā€™ve heard so much about you, although Iā€™m sure Taeyong hasnā€™t told me enough,ā€ you laughed, hoping youā€™d made a good first impression.
ā€œHonestly, I hoped he hadnā€™t said too much, so that we can get to know each other from the start, without any influences. He has seen me drunk, you know.ā€
ā€œHe has seen me drunk too, and donā€™t worry about it. Whatever youā€™ve done canā€™t be worse than mine. Iā€™m a flirty drunk,ā€ you reassured him.
ā€œOkay, come on people. We have to get going. Youā€™ll get to know each other over coffee and cleaning rugs, I promise.ā€ Taeyong said, and you both laughed, heading towards the car.
Yuta led you to his car and you sat at the back seat, Taeyong taking the front. It didnā€™t take long for him to start humming one of your favorite songs, ā€œBaby donā€™t stopā€, and you couldnā€™t help but sing along.
ā€œStop, baby donā€™t stop,ā€ you sang, and Taeyong continued.
ā€œAh, you listen to this kind of music too,ā€ Yuta said when the two of you stopped.
ā€œAre you kidding me? I taught him this kind of music. It was one of the first songs I made him listen to.ā€
ā€œAnd I havenā€™t stopped listening to it ever since.ā€ Taeyong laughed. ā€œAnd you used to make fun of me with it every time I had a date.ā€
ā€œIā€™m not regretting doing that anytime soon, Taeyong,ā€ you smiled, and Yuta kept driving. The car stopped as you reached a coffee shop and Taeyong left to get coffee for everyone.
ā€œExtra sugar!ā€ you shouted out of the window and he nodded.
ā€œYou drink your coffee like that too? Ah, and I thought Taeyong was the only messed up person I knew,ā€ Yuta said.
ā€œAh, why? Coffee needs to be sweet for me to enjoy. Do you like it black?ā€
ā€œI do. I really donā€™t see why you need so much sugar to enjoy it. I always gave Taeyong a hard time about it, but now youā€™re two.ā€ He was looking straight ahead while saying that and you let him be without responding, until your friend came back with the coffee.
As soon as the car stopped again, you knew you had arrived at your new house. Taeyong turned to you, wide smile on his face, with a set of keys in hand. ā€œThese are yours.ā€ You left the car and followed Taeyong to the door. He let you unlock, as he had already seen it, and you were ecstatic to see where you were going to live from now on. You moved forward to the small but cozy living room and, when you made sure the kitchen was all good, you ran to the two bedrooms.
ā€œOh my god, Taeyong, itā€™s so pretty!ā€ you exclaimed, as you also saw that there wouldnā€™t be any problems in choosing the bedrooms, as they were almost the same. ā€œJust like I saw it in the pictures!ā€
ā€œIā€™d never find a bad home for us, Y/N. We have so many years of uni together.ā€ He shared your enthusiasm, you could see it, so you hugged him again. ā€œIt needs a lot of cleaning, though.ā€
ā€œWeā€™ll do that in no time,ā€ you heard Yuta say.
ā€œAh, youā€™re already here. And you brought Y/Nā€™s stuff,ā€ Taeyong pointed out.
ā€œThanks a lot, really. For everything.ā€ You turned to him.
ā€œIā€™d do anything for a friend,ā€ he gestured at Taeyong, who was already in the kitchen, taking sips of his coffee.
ā€œIā€™m sure heā€™d do the same,ā€ you smiled and went towards the kitchen to get started, when you heard something that you thought wasnā€™t supposed to be heard.
ā€œWould he?ā€

gravity
ever since i ever felt ya, right there life couldn't seem better. tulip flowers in my sweater. ask me now, is this forever?
ā€¦
you rested your chin on the table before you, your arms hanging limply between your knees as you listened to your manager, dana. you were really just watching her mouth open and close while she pointed at a powerpoint. god, what you would've given for an extra hour of sleep. the all nighters in the studio were starting to take a toll.Ā 
the feeling of the back of daisyā€™s soft hands brought you back to earth. the smell of cocoa butter dancing beneath your nostrils as her smooth engagement ring rolled across your cheek. you breathed in her smell, exhaling in content through your nose.
ā€œyou good?ā€ she mouthed and you closed your eyes, giving her a little nod. the bassist rubbed her calloused fingers against your forehead, pushing strands of your hair past your hairline. you pouted when she eventually pulled away, leaving you only with the sensation of touch that once was.
you heard tyler shift in his seat and then felt some air graze against your hand. you looked under the table, noticing he was holding something out to you. you two made eye contact briefly before you scooted back in, grabbing what felt like an envelope. looking down at your lap, you saw a sticky note attached to it. jasonā€™s money was what it said. you carefully put the envelope in your jacket pocket, sitting back in your seat now and looking at danaā€™s powerpoint. she was going over reports from your publicist, jerry, which you didn't particularly care about.
ā€œnow, i have to ask,ā€ danaā€™s words pierced your bubble of inattention. ā€œhave you all thought about what i said about this next album?ā€
jordy raised his hand like a school kid. ā€œyes?ā€
ā€œy/n and i decided that we'd be okay with making our album a group project. it has been, admittedly, kinda hard and boring without everyone else. weā€™d honestly be doing ourselves a disservice by not doing it together,ā€ jordy explained, dana clapping her hands together.
ā€œwonderful,ā€ she nodded, keeping her hands clasped. ā€œi know you two were excited to do your own thing, but i was talking to jerry and he was really pressing me to get a group album from you guys. the people wanna see you guys as a unit of established artists, which you all are. so what's the concept? we never discussed it.ā€
ā€œuh,ā€ you verbally paused, raising your arms above your head to stretch. ā€œdisco, jazz, and funk. it's a mix of those.ā€
ā€œretro is in right now,ā€ dana nodded, pacing around the room. ā€œhow far back will this set us on a release date?ā€
you grimaced, leaning back in your seat, the back of the seat lightly bouncing as it absorbed your weight. you pondered the question for a moment. ā€œif itā€™s gonna be a group thing, it'll have to be significantly longer. we have a decent starting off point but i'm gonna need way more songs now.ā€
ā€œwhat about the rest of you? any tracks that we could swing?ā€ dana asked, looking at the rest of the group.Ā 
grabbing a pen and piece of scrap paper, you started jotting down notes as everyone spoke out to you. dex and quinton didnā€™t have anything, but they wouldnā€™t be a problem. you just needed to give them a beat to rap over and youā€™d be set. the twins had a finished song already that fit the concept, which was good. with tylerā€™s voice and alyā€™s excellent song writing abilities, you doubted very seriously that anything else needed to be done to it. daisy and hector had plenty of lyricless songs, too. funk and soul was their specialty, after all. misha even had a demo track she was willing to share.Ā 
you looked over the notes you had taken, tapping your pen on the table as you hummed to yourself. ā€œthis could probably work. weā€™ll need to go over everything in the studio, though.ā€
ā€œwe should just do it now. no one is doing shit else today, right?ā€ dex asked the group, who all shook their head.Ā 
ā€œi have a request,ā€ you raised your finger, looking at dana. ā€œi want gotham to be involved in this project.ā€
ā€œgothamā€¦ā€ dana repeated slowly, unsure of what you meant. ā€œcare to elaborate?ā€
ā€œmusic videos directed by student directors from gotham university, commissioning local artists for album art. dancers, actors, musicians, whatever. all of them have to be from gotham. i don't want any of the money we put into this project leaving this city,ā€ you stated firmly, dana giving you a blank look.Ā 
ā€œi like that idea,ā€ hector said, giving you a kind smile before turning to dana, shifting in his seat. the drummer was like a big brother, always backing you up in moments like these. ā€œaccessibility to the arts is really limited here and we should change that.ā€
ā€œiā€™d rather give back to the city, too,ā€ quinton agreed, playing with the gold cross hanging from his neck. ā€œweā€™re one of the only groups in gotham known outside of gotham. we should use that as an opportunity to rep our city.ā€
ā€œit sounds like you have your minds made up on this,ā€ dana narrowed her eyes, letting out a sigh. ā€œit would definitely be good PR.ā€
ā€œbecause god forbid we do something out of the kindness of our hearts,ā€ misha laughed, rolling her eyes. ā€œwe're trying to put the city on and you're worried about how it makes us look.ā€
ā€œthat's my job, misha. don't you want me to do my job?ā€ dana retorted. ā€œbesides, i'm more concerned with the funding. you all don't have disposable income, believe it or not.ā€
ā€œbut i know someone who does,ā€ she said with a singsong tone, giving you a look.
ā€œi hope you're not referring to me,ā€ you deadpanned. your income was far from disposable.
ā€œiā€™m referring to our good friend, bruce wayne,ā€ she explained, grabbing a business card out of her purse, handing it over to dana. ā€œever since i got invited to that charity gala, i've had a direct line to a representative with the wayne foundation. i say we ask them to help fund the project.ā€
ā€œnow that could work,ā€ dana admitted, eyeing the card as she tapped her foot. ā€œif we pitch for more youth involvement, it'll probably go over better. we all know how much bruce wayne loves saving the children.ā€
you frowned at how dana described bruceā€™s initiatives as a philanthropist. you were sure his motivations for favoring youth projects were good intentioned, considering his parents had been killed when he was just a little boy. you wanted to go into this good intentioned, too and you hoped that they'd agree. they being the wayne foundation and subsequently, bruce himself.
ā€œty and quinton could do something with forrester. if weā€™re going for the youth involvement route, i mean,ā€ aly spoke up.Ā 
ā€œforrester correctional. our old stomping grounds,ā€ quinton sighed wistfully as he patted tyler on the shoulder. ā€œi think that would be a good idea.ā€
ā€œthey use the arts as an outlet for them, so it could be beneficial for everyone,ā€ tyler nodded. ā€œthere are a lot of good kids there. just unfortunate circumstances, thatā€™s all.ā€
ā€œwasnā€™t one of bruceā€™s sonā€™s a troublemaker before he was adopted?ā€ aly continued, not noticing the look you and tyler shared. ā€œiā€™m sure heā€™d probably be interested in doing something with them if his son comes from the same background.ā€
ā€œitā€™s settled, then. you all keep working on the music. jerry and i will handle the rest. we need this album out before hector and daisyā€™s wedding,ā€ dana said, grabbing her suitcase.Ā 
ā€¦
hey, i have your money. did you still want it?
you stared down at the unsent message, your thumb floating over the send arrow. you hadnā€™t spoken to jason since that night after the race, as per his request. your mind kept wandering back to it, even as time still went on. what happened was scary, to say the least. fun, but scary. you wondered how the hell jason didnā€™t get the two of you killed. that part, you didn't want to think about too hard. everyone in gotham had their secrets and it was an unspoken rule amongst citizens to not pry. secrets were secrets for a reason. nothing good ever came from unearthing them.
speaking of secrets, you hadn't exactly told tyler and quinton what happened that night. not in detail. you conveniently left out the chase and stopping to get something to eat. omitting the first part was obvious, but the second one was for your own sanity. you didn't need them teasing you over nothing. besides, all that mattered was no one was dead or arrested. and for the way the three of you used to get down, that was a win.Ā 
you considered texting jason earlier this week, just to check in on him, but you decided against it. he obviously wanted you to text him and you obviously had to do the opposite. his little mind game wasnā€™t going to work on you. you pressed send, frowning immediately as you did so.
maybe it already had.
ā€œitā€™s too many people in this bitch,ā€ dex sighed, the cold of the water bottle you had asked him for against your hand bringing you back to reality. blinking, you were suddenly very aware of the chaos surrounding you in the studio as you put your phone back in your pocket. you looked to your left, where jordy was leaning against the wall and scrolling through his phone. to your right was aly, who was scribbling in her songbook in the chair next to you. you remembered you were supposed to be working, too. ā€œwe need a new stu.ā€
ā€œiā€™m working on it!ā€ hector hollered from inside the booth as he and daisy were setting up equipment and instruments. you glanced up at the glass in front when you heard his voice, accidentally catching the pair share a little kiss. you quickly averted your gaze, smiling to yourself.
ā€œnew stu, new view, what it do?ā€ quinton began to freestyle to a beat he was making on the coffee table in front of him. ā€œoff 92, posted up with southside crew.ā€Ā 
ā€œokay,ā€ dex laughed, noddinh his head as he was vibing with the beat, making his way out of your line of sight. you heard someone, presumably tyler, join in and add some depth to the beat. it sounded like he was hitting a pencil against a shot glass.
ā€œi got a new boo, but iā€™m tryna slide with misha, too,ā€ quinton continued, dex adlibbing in the back as quinton lowered his voice to his signature melodic whisper. ā€œon the low, nobody gotta know.ā€
ā€œwould you shut the fuck up?ā€ you heard misha say, followed by a barrage of muffled smacking noises and verbal objections from quinton, who you assumed was on the receiving end of what sounded like an assault by pillow.
laughing to yourself, you leaned your head in alyā€™s direction, not fully facing her. ā€œpass me the flash drive?ā€ you held your hand out weakly. once you felt the plastic in your palm, you leaned back over and put it into the computer, pulling up the proper files.Ā 
ā€œweā€™re done back here,ā€ daisy smiled at you, she and hector coming out from the booth.Ā 
you clapped your hands together. ā€œwonderful. everybody shut up, please.ā€
you pulled up the twinā€™s song and let it play, your eyes fixed on the colorful audio loops on the screen. the green ones were tylerā€™s vocals, the purple were alyā€™s. it looked like blue was reserved for instruments and red was any added sound effects or layered sounds.Ā 
ā€œyou two sound really great,ā€ jordy walked up behind alyā€™s seat, leaning against it as he swayed his head to the beat.Ā 
ā€œthanks. i wrote it with our mother in mind,ā€ aly said, the words coming out of her mouth uncomfortably. you placed your hand on hers and gave it a little squeeze, which earned you a look of appreciation.
ā€œit's missing something, though,ā€ tyler scratched the back of his head. ā€œi need the producer squad to give us some assistance.ā€
ā€œoh, say less,ā€ dex laughed, snapping his fingers to the beat with one hand and holding his glass of hennessy in the other. he danced his way over, taking alyā€™s seat as she, tyler and jordy moved to give you all some space.Ā 
misha sauntered her way over, sitting against the table and flipping her hair over her shoulder. the smell of her sweet perfume floated in the air around you. ā€œi think it just needs some fluffing up. some snapping might work. more vocal layering in certain spots.ā€
ā€œi agree,ā€ you nodded, dex letting out a satisfied sigh as he took a sip of his cold drink.Ā 
ā€œis it good?ā€ misha asked him teasingly and he took his final swig, letting out a more dramatic and drawn out sigh. this time, though, it was on beat with the song. you were pretty sure it was unintentional on his part, since he and misha just shared a laugh before returning their attention to the screen.
after a moment of pondering, you swiveled around in your chair, looking at tyler. ā€œokay, hear me outā€¦ā€
ā€¦
two weeks of very diligent working between the nine of you had given you a lot to work with for the album. all that was left was to start putting things together. you still had a ways to go, but you had a good starting off point. as much as you hated to admit it, it was a good call on danaā€™s part to have you all do a group album. the fans seemed to be greatly anticipating the release and the work ethic the nine of you shared was incredible. even in that cramped little studio, you all made it work.
you all agreed to take the day off, but you were still working at some capacity. you had just traded one small space for another, working in your walk-in closet/home studio for the day. you still needed said walk-in to function as a closet, so there were still garment bags pushed up into a corner and shoe boxes haphazardly stacked, surrounding your desk that you had shoved in there. there was just enough space for you to move your chair and safely get out without twisting an ankle, a fate you often flirted with in that room.
in the spirit of your day off, you hadn't done anything too difficult. you were just trying to decide what order you wanted the completed songs to go in. it may seem like an insignificant detail, but the order was important. the transitions between songs couldn't be jarring for the listener. everything had to flow together with natural progression. at this point, it didn't matter since you weren't done with the album, but it was just giving you an idea of how to fill the gaps with future songs.Ā 
the sound of your growling stomach indicated that it was time to stop for the day. you quickly saved all your work and headed to the kitchen. you popped some leftovers in the microwave and scrolled on twitter while you waited. the microwave beeped at you, so you set your phone back down and grabbed the bowl, mixing up the contents with your fork. the flash of light coming from your phone got your attention. a text notification.
are you home?
oh, so now he wanted to respond? cute.
despite your annoyance with the situation, you quickly responded with a yes and set the phone back down. you leaned against the counter, eating what little food you had in your reheated bowl. you mixed the contents around with your fork, grumbling. stupid jason and his stupid inability to text back. he could have at least had the decency to leave you on read. he probably didn't even have read receipts on. you weren't sure which was worse. tossing your now empty bowl into the sink, you grabbed your phone to read his next message.
iā€™ll be over soon.Ā 
soon was very vague and you wished that you would've demanded an exact time, but that opportunity had passed by the time you thought about it. you busied yourself with tidying up, trying to make your place look presentable. you even lit your new candle, which you found yourself focusing your attention on while you waited for him to show up. staring at the flame was much more entrancing than you anticipated.
you heard the door buzzer go off. you weren't expecting anyone else, so it had to be him. you leaned against the wall, pressing your finger to the button.
ā€œwho goes there?ā€ you presented the question as a joke, but your tone was a little flat.
ā€œitā€™s the irs,ā€ jasonā€™s voice came through and you buzzed him in.Ā 
not too long after, you heard him knock on the door. you cracked it open and the first thing you noticed was his cologne. it was a strong but pleasant scent. spicy and sweet. it was very intoxicating, actually. so much so that you almost forgot you were angry at him.
ā€œhi.ā€
ā€œhello.ā€
you opened the door fully and handed the envelope to him. jason eyed it suspiciously. he opened it up and began to count it out in front of you. he made an effort to do it very slow, the sound of the crisp dollars echoing in the quiet hall. his eyes stayed glued to yours as he counted out loud. you leaned against the doorframe as you watched.
ā€œsixā€¦ sevenā€¦ eight,ā€ he said, pulling out his wallet and stuffing it with the cash. ā€œthought you would've skimmed some off the top.ā€
ā€œi should have with how long you made me wait,ā€ you said matter of factly, letting your annoyance be known now.Ā 
ā€œi know. iā€™m sorry,ā€ he sounded honest but you couldn't see it in his face or in his eyes, which was worrisome. it was a nice alternative to listening to a sputter of excuses, though. ā€œlet me make it up to you?ā€
ā€œhow do you plan on doing that?ā€
ā€œiā€™m so glad you asked,ā€ he smiled. ā€œas it turns out, i've recently come into some money. let me spend it on you?ā€
ā€œso you like throwing money at your problems?ā€ you asked him. well, you weren't really asking. it was more like you were telling him.Ā 
ā€œno,ā€ he said, sounding a little offended. ā€œi just thought-ā€
ā€œyou just thought that throwing money at me would make me forget about the fact that you ignored me for a month.ā€
ā€œno, no,ā€ he shook his head, sighing in frustration. ā€œlisten, i-ā€
ā€œi really don't wanna hear it,ā€ you said honestly, watching as his frustrated look turned into kicked puppy. you almost felt bad. ā€œi don't like feeling stupid, jason. that's how i feel right now. i want you to make it up to me but you'll have to be a bit more creative than this.ā€
ā€œyou want me to make it up to you?ā€ jason had repeated, confusion on his face.Ā 
you poked him harshly in the chest. ā€œyou do that or you leave me alone. those are your options. goodbye.ā€
you shut the door in his face and let out the breath you were holding in. you werenā€™t sure how jason was going to react to your little ultimatum, but those were your terms. you liked him but you werenā€™t going to stress over someone you barely knew, especially with your assumptions about him floating around in your head.Ā 
ā€œiā€™ll be right back,ā€ you heard him say through the door, catching you off guard.Ā 
ā€œwhat?ā€
ā€œdonā€™t go anywhere.ā€
you didnā€™t respond but you heard his footsteps getting quieter as he walked down the hall. the elevator ding indicated that he had left. you stood there, confused as to what it was he was trying to do. you were still stewing in your negative emotions, so you went and busied yourself again. you decided the dishes needed washing and got on it right away. in the middle of scrubbing the stubborn sauce stains out of your plate, you heard your door buzzer go off again.Ā 
so he did come back after all. interesting.
you buzzed him in like you did before and waited by the door for him. he knocked and when you opened it, you were met with two gifts: a bouquet of pink tulips and a small box of something from the bakery around the corner.Ā 
ā€œi shouldnā€™t have ignored you. it was rude and stupid and iā€™m sorry. it wonā€™t happen again,ā€ he said to you, holding out the items to you. you hesitantly accepted them, taking the opportunity to look through the plastic opening of the box to see chocolate covered strawberries.Ā 
ā€œit better not happen again,ā€ you pouted, looking up at him. you had to appreciate the effort he put in at such short notice. it was a sweet gesture and he actually looked sorry this time.Ā 
ā€œit wonā€™t,ā€ he assured you and you smiled.
ā€œi forgive you. but youā€™re on thin fucking ice,ā€ you reminded him and he grinned at you with a nod.
ā€œiā€™m going to make it up to you. just you wait,ā€ he said confidently. ā€œnot all of us are naturally creative like you, though. you gotta give me some time to think of something else.ā€
ā€œseems like youā€™re getting your feet wet with the flower selection,ā€ you noted, taking a whiff of the delicate and fresh scent. theyā€™d look nice on your coffee table.
ā€œlady at the shop said they would convey my sincerest apologies,ā€ he explained, a hopeful look in his eyes. ā€œdid it work?ā€
ā€œfor now,ā€ you shrugged, setting the items down on the table next to the door.Ā 
ā€œi can accept that.ā€
ā€œyouā€™re gonna have to because thatā€™s all iā€™m giving you,ā€ you said firmly. his charm wasnā€™t going to get him out of this one. not completely. ā€œnow go away. i want to eat my berries in peace.ā€
ā€œiā€™ll text you as soon as i get the chance,ā€ he told you as you were shutting the door. you peered at him, narrowing your eyes before shutting it again. ā€œiā€™m serious!ā€
ā€œgoodbye, jason!ā€ you said through the door. you heard his faint farewell as you walked away, plopping on the couch with your dessert in hand.
were you still a little mad at him? yes. but you werenā€™t going to pass up free stuff, even if you had made all that fuss about the money earlier. at least the gifts had some thought behind them. so long as he held up his end of the deal, you had a feeling being friends with jason wouldnā€™t be that bad.
hopefully, anyway.

MasterlistĀ Ā Ā 
Ā  Spencer and I finally have some vacation time, and my god it feels like itā€™s been forever. We both worked ridiculously hard at the BAU, so Hotch had finally determined that it was time for the teamā€™s mandatory two-week break this year. Ā 
As soon as we got home the both of us stripped of our work clothes and cuddled up on the couch to watch some movies. Spencer had the remote in his hand scrolling through to find a movie, the cursor landed on Star Trek. I could feel his puppy dog eyes looking up at me through his glasses that he only wore at home trying to convince me into letting him choose it. ā€œNoooo Spencer, we watched it last weekā€ I groaned. Sometimes it felt like your relationship was Spencer and Spock, and you as the delightful third wheel. ā€œOk what about a different one? We donā€™t have to watch any of the vintage ones, the new movies arenā€™t my favorite but theyā€™re still extraordinary pieces of film art!ā€ he ranted enthusiastically. ā€œNo, why donā€™t we watch Star Wars?ā€ I begged, he knew it was my favorite but still insisted that Star Trek was better. ā€œNo, because I know youā€™ll ask to watch the sequels and I donā€™t like them, the story is just a repeat of the originals.ā€ his eyes rolled and I was surprised they didnā€™t get stuck in the back of his head. Spencer and I have had this argument many times. The back and forth on which series was better was exhausting but so exhilarating. ā€œStar Wars looks better, has better music, and better plot lines overall!ā€ My voice slightly raised, I hated it when he tried to prove me wrong about this. Star Wars was my cemented favorite just as his was Star Trek. ā€œStar Wars has straight up inaccuracies while Star Trek has improbabilities, not outright errors.ā€ Spencer snarked back. I could tell neither of us were going to win this debate anytime soon. We always ended up in a shouting match about Ā why we thought our favorite series was better. ā€œFuck you! Iā€™m right, Star Wars is so much better! I mean look at Kylo Ren, heā€™s so much better then Kirk or Spock!ā€ Spencerā€™s face turned into an expression mixed with jealousy and rage. ā€œAnd look how good he looks during that interrogation scene!ā€ I continued. ā€œYou think heā€™s hot?!ā€ He accused profiling the look I had on my face as I was talking about Kylo ā€œWhat are you jealous of a fictional character?ā€ I asked mockingly, a knowing smirk adorning my face. Maybe I could get him riled up enough to get something else out of tonight. ā€œN-no of course not thatā€™s absurd!ā€ He squeaked out, giving away how he truly felt. A coquettish smirk grew on my face as I got an evil idea. I deftly snuck my hands into my sleep shorts, slipping under my cotton panties and started to rub soft circles on my clit, not fully giving myself the stimulation that I desired. Spencerā€™s eyes bugged out of his head getting whiplash from the conversation switch. ā€œKyloā€ I moaned out with a simper, gathering my slick arousal I slid down my folds, pushing a finger inside, immediately crooking the digit to locate my g spot. I wanted to push Spencer to the edge of jealousy till he snapped. He got practically feral if I worked him up enough. I continued my descent into a selfish climax- adding another finger, as I picked up the speed of my thrusts into my dripping heat. My mind was so lost in the pleasure I forgot Spencer was there- until my hand was violently jerked from my pussy by a tight clasp on my forearm, just before I was about to fall into bliss. ā€œWhat do you think you're doing?ā€ Spencer spat.
That voice was usually reserved for unsubs, which served to further dampen my panties, his mind had switched into his dominant persona that was prevalent in the bedroom. ā€œJust indulging myself, Spencer, since you wonā€™t.ā€ I bit back, irritated Iā€™d been brought back from the edge of toe-curling bliss. He shot me a harsh look and tightened his grip on my arm, a warning if you will. I could tell I had just gotten myself into deep trouble, but that didnā€™t stop me from wanting to rile him up further. ā€œGet in the bedroom and strip. Youā€™ve earned yourself a punishment, brat.ā€ His tone had gotten down right deadly at this point, but I didnā€™t let that deter me. I was on a mission. I decided to further dig myself in a hole by ignoring his order, simply crossing my arms and turning my head away. I could feel his bitter gaze boring into the back of my skull as I continued to defy his order, my excitement pooling in anticipation for the brutal punishment Iā€™d surely earned. We sat like that for a while- refusing to break out of my sass, and him making sure that I was really ready for what he had in store for me. My legs started to squirm, the tension was almost unbearable. Just before I was about to give him another smart remark his other hand shot out to my leg, holding it firmly so I was no longer moving. A surprised squeak escaped my lips as Spencer Ā flipped me onto my stomach, my knees coming to rest on the floor and my chest pressed into the couch. I tried to regain my balance in an attempt to crawl away from him but he quickly moved to hover over my form, boxing me in with his arms. ā€œAre you trying to get in more trouble, Dolly?ā€ he asked, his tone dark and condescending. A pathetic little whimper escaped my throat. When I failed to reply quick enough by his standards, a large palm came down on my backside, forcing an answer out of me.
ā€œYes! Iā€™m sorry Sir, I was trying to get in t-trouble.ā€ ā€œTsk tsk. Only bad girls like punishment, Doll.ā€ He sounded disappointed. I dug my nails into the plush and hid my face into the cushion, trying to escape from under his heavy gaze. He pulled my hands to rest behind my back, tying my hands with what felt like a drawstring from sweatpants. Heā€™d learned to improvise during our time together; had he left to find more appropriate rope, there was no guarantee Iā€™d be in the same position he left me in by the time he got back. He snaked his hands through my hair, yanking hard to pull my body flush against his own. ā€œColor?ā€ He asked quickly, checking in with me, which only made the situation hotter-what can I say? Consent is sexy. ā€œGreenā€ I replied with a grin. Being disciplined was always exhilarating. ā€œWhatā€™s my punishment, Sir?ā€ He let go of the grip on my hair, his hands swiftly moving to remove my shorts and now soaked cotton thong, revealing my bare bottom to him. I rubbed my legs together trying to get some sort of friction but was interrupted by Spencer wrenching my legs apart. ā€œYou do that again Iā€™ll add 20 more and youā€™ve already earned yourself 40- plus a little extra something.ā€ His words hummed against the shell of my ear, sending a shiver trickling down my spine. I groaned in protest and tried to wiggle myself away from him, his hand coming down onto my left cheek in response. ā€œDoll-ā€œ He warned sharply. ā€œIf you keep this up I won't let you cum for a week.ā€ His words shook me to my sassy core; I was greedy and there was no way I was going to get myself in more trouble. ā€œIā€™m sorry...ā€ I muttered into the couch cushion. ā€œSay it louder, Dolly.ā€ The sing song tone/cadence of his voice felt like a trap- contrasted to his previously dark tone and warning smack brought down on my backside. ā€œIā€™m really sorry, Sir!ā€ I shouted. With my cry, I gave up control to Spencer entirely. Ā He loved when I acted like this, no matter how angry he pretended to be. ā€œDo you mean it this time?ā€ I could hear the devilish smile on his lips. ā€œYes!ā€ I confirmed on a shaky breath. I was done fighting him. ā€œYouā€™re so good to me a-and I shouldnā€™t have tried to make you jealous.ā€
Although he couldnā€™t see my eyes, I put on my biggest, sweetest set of puppy dog eyes to really drive my point home.
ā€œSo youā€™re going to sit pretty and take your spankings like a good girl, right?ā€
I nodded sheepishly, secretly hoping that maybe, just maybe if I was good enough that I might get to come tonight. He let me stew in my thoughts for a minute before resuming his assault on my behind. His hand gripped both cheeks into his palms, kneading the tender flesh that was about to be covered in black and blue handprints. As the first strikes landed on my right side, he grabbed a blanket for me to cuddle into as he landed each smack, his full strength being used in each one, exhibiting just how much I pissed him off. My nerves were prickling, my ass had already started to sting and he hadnā€™t even reached the 10th strike. Iā€™d definitely be able to feel the pain for the next week- maybe longer. Teardrops started to coat from my lashes onto my cheeks as he switched to the left cheek. By the time heā€™d reached the halfway mark, the blanket had become soaked by my uncontrolled muffled sobs. His rhythm never faltered as he continued to pepper the now-raw skin of my bottom with more punishing blows. ā€œWhat are you?ā€ He finally spoke as he was nearing the end of his count, my fingers digging into my palms to help me get through the last few. ā€œIā€™m a bad girl, Sirā€ I pathetically whimpered into the blanket.
A brutal THWACK landed against my backside, letting me know he was looking for me to use my big girl voice. Ā A sob raked through my chest, sending more tears down the blushed apples of my cheeks. ā€œIā€™M A BAD GIRL, SIR!ā€ My bruised bottom felt like it had been burned by hot coals with welts forming as evidence, as Spencer drew out the last few at a languid pace. When he finally finished, he dropped his head down to plant kisses on each injured cheek, a sign of appreciation for behaving. ā€œYou dirty girl, you're getting off to this ā€ He said matter of factly, moving to run his finger through my drenched folds, his fingers probed my entrance trying to get me more worked up. Surging forward, he replaced his fingertips with his tongue stirring a fire deep in my belly, placing delicate kitten licks along my folds. My body writhed against his touch and for a moment, I thought I might get off easy. Until, again, he pulled away just as I was about to shatter into a million pieces. ā€œSirrrrr, please?ā€ I begged, my clit was throbbing in tandem with the blood pounding under the skin of my raw and tender bottom. His threat from earlier became evident- he wasnā€™t going to let me cum easily. ā€œNo, Doll, you still havenā€™t proven that youā€™re sorry enough.ā€ He roughly yanked me off the sofa, positioning me on my knees in front of him, his clothed cock sitting right in my eye-line. The sweatpants that he had dawned were taken off quickly, I drank in the sight of his hard cock through tear-stained eyes. ā€œColor?ā€ He asked while cradling my jaw. The realization hit me, and I became blissfully aware of one thing: he was about to fuck my face. ā€œGreen.ā€ I was always happy to give Spencer pleasure, and to see all the power just my mouth had over him was insanely erotic to me. He gripped his cock in one hand, pulling my chin down to open my mouth with the other. I stuck out my tongue for him and leaned forward, wrapping my lips around the head of his erection to begin gently sucking. Precum filled my mouth as I started to bob my head, working my way farther down his length each time until I reached the base of his cock. I choked slightly, my nose nuzzling against the hairs of his waistline. He gripped my hair on both sides with each of his hands and did a shallow experimental thrust forward, giving me a taste of what was coming. My eyes screwed shut as he set a fast pace, his tip hitting the back of my throat, tears starting to prick at the corners of my eyes again. The hardwood grinding against my knees sourced a new pain, but all I was focused on was the cock Ā being shoved down my throat and pleasuring the man it was attached to. ā€œOpen your eyes, Doll. I want you to see what you do to me.ā€ I glanced up with my glassy red rimmed eyes to gaze at the beautiful sight of Spencer, his head was tilted back, sweat coating his ruffled curls, with his mouth hung open in a silent gasp. Even through my tears I could see this man was an angel. Ā I groaned, somehow I was even more turned on, so much so that I could feel a pool forming on the floor from my arousal. He rutted harder into my mouth signaling that he was close to his release, drool was now dripping from the sides of my mouth, wetting the thin material of my pajama top. Hot spurts shot down my throat with a strangled cry from him. Tasting his salty release on my tongue, I drank him in, savoring every last drop he had to give me. As he pulled himself out of my mouth, the string of spit connecting my lips to the head of his cock snapped, falling down my chin. Saltwater still cascading down my cheeks met with the mess on my chin, creating Ā a messy mixture. Spencer pressed a thumb to my cheek, pushing the few drops of cum that escaped along with some spit into my mouth. ā€œYou being a cry baby, Dolly?ā€ he cooed condescendingly, wiping away the drops that accumulated onto my cheek bones as I sent him a little pout. ā€œYou shouldā€™ve thought about the consequences before you broke the rules, Doll.ā€ Turning me around, he pressed my chest into the coffee table across from the couch. Though I still had on my shirt, the cold surfaces rubbed against my sensitive nipples making them harden to a peak. He hadnā€™t done anything for a minute, so I tried to turn my head to see what he was doing. I was met with a harsh tug at my jaw forcing it to prop up facing the tv. The television flicked to life flooding the screen with the Disney+ logo I tried to glance back again to shoot him an incredulous look, but again I was repositioned roughly to stare at the screen. He clicked through until landing on the Force Awakens. My brows furrowed, but I decided not to push my luck by asking any questions. He pressed play and started fast forwarding until he landed on the scene I had been referencing that got in me trouble in the first place. Kylo Ren graced the screen, starting his interrogation with Rey. Was he going to sit here and make me watch it? Was he going to let me cum? Or was he going to edge me the whole night and hang me out to dry? I was snapped out of my thoughts by a tug at my neck, his palms wrapping around like a necklace, pulling my torso up so that my eyes locked perfectly to the moving figures on the screen. ā€œYou think he could fuck you better then I can, Doll?ā€ he ground out. ā€œThat pathetic boy compensates with his saber, yet you have the whole package right here sweetheart.ā€ I gasped and wriggled at his words, becoming down right desperate to have him do anything to me. He finally relented, dragging his free hand up my folds, still just barely touching me- ghosting around my clit. He sucked dark bruises into my neck, and as his teasing touches continued, I impatiently whined. ā€œPlease, Sir I need you.ā€ ā€œWhy should I? You have Kylo donā€™t you?ā€ ā€œI already said Iā€™m sorry, Sir! And I mean it really!ā€ My begs filled our apartment, loud enough to completely mask the sound of the movie. I had been completely ignoring the film, focusing solely on trying to gain some sort of pleasure from the man endlessly denying it. ā€œOk, Dolly but only if you promise to never do it again.ā€ I tried my best to nod against Ā his vise grip on the column of my throat. He deftly snuck two fingers into my pussy, fitting snugly inside of me causing my body to unconsciously move my lower half against him. He started to pump and curl them, expertly hitting the perfect spot each time making stars appear behind my eyes. Suddenly he removed his fingers, quickly replacing it with something far more satisfying before I could complain. His cock bottomed out, filling me to the hilt eliciting a surprised squeak from me. He always made me feel so full-it felt like heaven. His hips propelled forward starting a rough rhythm that left almost no room to breathe, the movie had been completely muffled by our moans and sounds of slapping skin, a heavy dose of sex lingering in the air. His thrusts were irritating the already brutalized flesh off my ass, but the stinging sensation just aided in ecstasy that flowed through my veins. ā€œYou look so much prettier with these bruises.ā€ He grunted as I tried to arch my back to a steeper angle so I could take him as deep as possible. ā€œIt shows everyone whoā€™s mine, even if they are a fictional character.ā€ Spencer was repeatedly hitting my g spot sending me closer and closer to the edge, but I knew I had to ask permission before I came. ā€œPlease, Sir, Please! Iā€™m so close! Can I cum?ā€ ā€œWhy do you think you deserve to cum Doll?ā€ He asked, I shouldā€™ve known he was still going to throw one last tease in before letting me orgasm. ā€œBecause- I - I donā€™t know I just need it!ā€ I let out a frustrated sob as he continued to thrust with reckless abandon. ā€œOk. Doll. Let. Go.ā€ he said, accentuating each word with a sharp rock with his hips. My eyes rolled far into the back of my head as I was sent careening into pleasure, the coil that sat deep in my belly snapped, sending me into violent waves of pleasure. As I rode out my delicious high, Spencerā€™s hips stuttered and the grip on my neck was tightened as he shot ropes into me, stuffing me to the brim. He let go of my neck letting me relax my head onto the table. Iā€™m sure I had a messy, freshly-fucked look on my face but I couldnā€™t be bothered to care.ā€œHave you learned your lesson?ā€ He asked once he had caught his breath. I nodded meekly, knowing full well Iā€™d be back on my brattiest behavior as soon as these bruises faded. We both groaned as he slipped his softening cock from out of my folds. He slowly padded away to grab his items for aftercare-my favorite part. I had never had a partner show so much care for me like Spencer had. He came back with everything he needed and got to work, starting by cleaning my folds with a washcloth, then switching to a fresh one wiping the tears and spit away from my face. Aloe that he had made sure to warm up was then squirted onto my cheeks, he rubbed the liquid in softly massaging the abused flesh with gentle care. My limbs still felt like jello when it was time to stand, so Spencer helped guide me into new clean pajamas, he even made sure to pick out the velvet ones I liked, they always felt like little soft caresses were being peppered against my skin when I wore them. ā€œYou ok, Doll? You havenā€™t said anything.ā€ He whispered gently, as if afraid heā€™d startle me. ā€œYeahā€ I croaked.My voice had been thoroughly abused throughout the night making rasp harder than normal. ā€œJust feel a little woozier than normal.ā€ He quickly enveloped my form into a hug, drawing me in close so I could smell the cologne that made itself a part of everything he owned. Sitting us both down on the couch, he found as many blankets and as possible making a little fort of warmth around us.
ā€œIā€™m sorry I was harsh, Doll.ā€ ā€œNo no, I liked it, it was just intense.ā€ My scratchy voice obviously made him cringe. ā€œSo you are jealous of a fictional character?ā€ I cheekily quipped to try and cheer him up. He let out a chuckle in response and started to ghost little butterfly kisses all across my face.
ā€œI love you,ā€ he whispered between kisses. ā€œSing to me?ā€ I asked softly. I cherished his horrible singing with all my heart, it made me Ā soft and mushy on the inside. ā€œYou are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey. Youā€™ll never know dear how much I love you, please donā€™t take my dolly away.ā€ I started to drift to sleep even though I was fighting to giggle at Spencerā€™s croaky singing. Despite his god awful singing in my ear, sleep found me, whisking me away to the land of sweet dreams. I drifted off in his arms, knowing I was his good girl- knowing he would love and cherish me until the ends of the Earth.

CONCEPT!! okay okay look but i wanna see a modern day zukka fic where zuko is a tattoo artist!! his uncle is a renowned tattoo artist, owns a parlor called the Jasmine Dragon, and zuko works for him there. his designs are absolutely killer, he studies a bunch of different styles (that i do not know the names of because i know nothing of tattoos and iā€™m too excited to do research), like the cool samoan ones and cartoon styles and heā€™s really good at photo realism, but his favorite is to just treat tattooing as any other art form and use his personal style.
zukoā€™s a growing name in the industry, and his uncleā€™s competitor shop is the Flying Bison (cause why not). the Flying Bison is just a couple streets over, and in it you can find aang (tattoo artist), katara (piercing person), suki (works the desk and manages everything for the owner, kyoshi), sokka (hangs out to bother katara when he isnā€™t in class at the law school), and toph (likes to hang out and make recommendations until people realize sheā€™s blind and get really awkward. she works at the flower shop next door because we like tropes and flowers and tattoos just go together, okay??)
one day, suki is complaining about losing another customer to the Jasmine Dragon and katara is agreeing, and sokka is like ā€œehh they canā€™t be that great, the owner is some old guy!! i bet if i went and got a tattoo i could cause a big ol stink about it being awful and lose them some customersā€ and katara is like great idea you go do that and when it sucks aang can fix it!
sokka, who was joking in the first place, somehow ends up walking into the Jasmine Dragon and stopping just inside the door cause w o w that boy is hot. what the fuck why is he hiding in here when he should be a walking poster boy, those tattoos are nice.
(zuko has the burn on his face, long shaggy hair that he ties up in a bun when heā€™s working, a tattooed dragon that curls around his neck, a sleeve on his left arm thatā€™s got some flames, some symbols, another dragon curled around his wrist, and on his right forearm heā€™s got a white lotus pai sho tile with writing around it)
(not relevant at the moment, but sokka has the moon between his shoulder blades, a boomerang on the side of his left wrist, the pattern from his momā€™s betrothal necklace on his left shoulder, kataraā€™s handwriting that says ā€œhey loserā€ going up his right side, aangā€™s air symbol on his right shoulder, and appa on his lower back)
zuko catches sokka staring and blushes, obviously checking him out, before asking him if he needs any help. sokkaā€™s like ā€œyeah actually iā€™m here kinda as a representative of the Flying Bison, ya know, your rival. iā€™ve come to get a tattoo so that we can know that weā€™re better than you, but now that iā€™m here iā€™m kinda seeing that nothing could ever be better than you, oh fuck i just said that out loudā€
...needless to say theyā€™re both blushing now. that is, until zukoā€™s like ā€œwait? you what?? what kind of guy wants to get a tattoo just to prove that youā€™re better than someone else???ā€
sokkaā€™s like ā€œuhhh actually i was joking when i suggested it but then my sister said i should do it and i canā€™t legally deny her anything so... here i amā€ and then they just kinda stand there in awkward silence. for a long while. somewhere between a minute and a century.
then zuko just kinda clears his throat and is like ā€œso um where do you want it? what do you want?ā€
and sokka is like ā€œ???? i JUST told you iā€™m here to make you make me look bad and youā€™re just fine with it?ā€
and zuko just quirks his eyebrow and smirks and scoffs a bit and is like ā€œi couldnā€™t make you look bad if i wanted to. and i wouldnā€™t let you make me look bad.ā€
which, the first part is CLEARLY flirting except the second part is so condescending and sokka has never been more attracted to someone since yue tattooed the moon on his back. sokka has never been known for his exceptional decision making skills. which might be why he decides to say ā€œso about that tattoo. does me being attracted to you create a conflict of interest?ā€
and zuko blushes but the smirk turns into a grin and he goes ā€œnot unless you have an issue with me being interested in you too.ā€ and sokka cannot believe he is LIVING THIS LIFE!!!!
they hammer out the details, set up an appointment for the next day. sokka goes home and refuses to tell katara anything except heā€™ll be getting a new tattoo tomorrow. zuko goes home and rants to his uncle about the boy from the Flying Bison that he definitely flirted the crap out of, is that a conflict and can i please tattoo this boy even tho heā€™s from our competitor shop? (iroh says yes of course, though he plans to send ty lee to check out the Flying Bison in retribution)
(unseen future: ty lee and suki start dating. iroh finds this hilarious)
sokka comes in the next day for his tattoo, asks zuko to do something like his dragons cause he thinks those look cool, but gives him free reign to do whatever else he wants. it takes forever, but when theyā€™re done sokka has officially developed an actual crush on zuko beyond just his appearance. theyā€™ve talked about their moms, hakoda and iroh, katara and the rest of the gaang, zukoā€™s development as a tattoo artist, and theyā€™ve developed a comfortable silence as music plays lowly in the backround.
when sokka looks at the tattoo for the first time, heā€™s absolutely speechless. zukoā€™s added in koi fish around the moon, in a yin yang pattern, and between the moon and appa, heā€™s put the sun with a dragon curled around it, head resting on its tail at the bottom.
zukoā€™s watching him anxiously, terrified that heā€™ll hate it even though heā€™s tried to match the style that the moon was done in as much as possible. already heā€™s sputtering stuff like ā€œitā€™s kind of too late if you donā€™t like it, you did tell me i could do whatever, did i overstep with the koi fish, oh my gosh here iā€™ll go get your money backā€”ā€œ and sokka cuts him off by turning to look at him with affection just evident on his face and wtf who gave him permission to be that cuteā€”
and then sokka is asking ā€œhey, can i like kiss you or is that too much for the health guidelines?ā€ and sokkaā€™s honestly surprised that he could even ask that much, he loves these tattoos and if he doesnā€™t get to kiss this amazing boy soonā€”
and zuko is in shock apparently, but he snaps out of it with ā€œokay let me get you wrapped up, oh god that sounds so bad, let me treat your tattoo and ring everything up and say all the precautionary health stuff that you already know so i can take my break and then weā€™ll seeā€ and thatā€™s what they do!!!
when zukoā€™s break is up, iroh exits into the back alley to find sokka has pushed zuko up against the wall and theyā€™re making out, didnā€™t even notice iroh coming outside. of course, iroh is an embarrassing uncle and goes ā€œah zuko, i assume this is the competition?ā€
to which zuko draws back and thumps his head into sokkaā€™s shoulder, not letting sokka back up more than an inch. ā€œuncle go away iā€™m busyā€ ā€œah yes, i can see that. is this a new method of exchanging trade secrets?ā€ ā€œuncle.ā€
sokkas chuckling breathlessly as iroh hums and goes back inside. ā€œtrade secrets huh?ā€
(katara is infuriated that sokka loves his new tattoo, especially since it clearly shows that zukoā€™s an amazing tattoo artist. aang wants to meet him and learn from him like NOW, suki wants to recruit him, and toph thinks theyā€™re dating. she isnā€™t wrong, but sokka bribes her to shut up so katara doesnā€™t find out)

thank you @chiptrillino for tagging me in a wip game!
not quite sure what the rules are but based off of your AMAZING POST OF ART WIPS (check it out here yall chip is so talented) ive decided to just share some parts of my writing wips that i rlly like because i cannot draw whatsoever lmao
enjoy some lil snippets hehe
from heart don't stand a chance:
"Zuko couldnā€™t get over her eyes. She was looking past the camera towards the man who took it. Zuko could see clear as day the love she held for Sokka in her gaze.
It was a perfect moment that Sokka had captured. No wonder held it with him at all times. If someone had looked at Zuko like that, heā€™d never want to see anything again.
As he took in the photograph, Sokka sat next to him in silence. His hand was clutching the ring around his neck again in his fist, pressing it close to his mouth as he peered over Zukoā€™s shoulder to look. Zuko turned to him to compliment the picture and saw a sad fondness lingering in his eyes."
this is a scene i wrote a while ago thats gonna appear in a much later chapter. but yeah. more yue angst for you guys im so sorry.
from i love you (and that's all i really know):
"Mister Sokka," a little voice wishpered in his ear as he felt tiny pokes on his cheek, "Wake up Mister Sokka."
"Good morning to you too Izumi," Sokka responded wearily as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He looked towards the little girl who was standing on her tippy toes to see over the edge of the bed and poke his face until he rose.
She smiled at him once she realized he was awake.
"Can we have pancakes?" She asked shyly, hiding her mouth just below the edge of the bed as she looked up at him with hopeful eyes.
That look was going to be dangerous for him later on, he could aready tell.
"Sure thing, Izumi, just let me sleep for five more minutes, mkay?" He asked as he shut his eyes again. He was exhausted from last nights events, and the sun had barely risen. How did Zuko do this?"
this is a scene from the next chapter of this fic. so much sokka and izumi bonding you guys are gonna explode hehehe.
from cherry (the mailee fic i wont shut up about that is now a whopping 19 pages):
"Mai never had to guess with Ty Lee. She always knew when Ty Lee was happy about something because she would use an obnoxious amount of exclamation points. She would send gifs of people or cartoons making outlandish expressions whenever she wanted to react to Maiā€™s text with a specific facial expression. Sometimes Ty Lee would even send voice memos whenever her thoughts became too long, or she got too excited about a story that her fingers couldnā€™t type as fast as she could speak."
hehe i love mailee.
from yours (the mailee sorority fic that i promise i did not forget about):
"Mai lifted her head off the pillow again and met Zukoā€™s eyes. She studied his impassive expression, trying to figure out if he was joking or not. He did seem like he missed Mai and Azula, so maybe he did really just want to catch up with them.
But Mai wasnā€™t going to give up a golden opportunity like this.
ā€œTell us everything about the boy toy as well and youā€™ve got yourself a deal,ā€ Mai said.
Zuko rolled his eyes and sighed, ā€œUgh, fine. And his name is Sokka by the way.ā€
ā€œNuance. You also have to wake up Azula.ā€
ā€œNo chance in hell,ā€ Zuko scoffed, ā€œYouā€™re the roommate and her fellow ā€˜pong princess,ā€™ wake-up duty is all yours.ā€
ā€œIf she murders me, itā€™s your fault. Sheā€™s a bitch when sheā€™s hungover.ā€
ā€œWhatever you say, Mai,ā€ Zuko grinned before returning back to his phone."
i have decided that zuko is a little shit for this fic and no one can stop me.
from Where'd All the Time Go? (the yuekka fic that i have severe writers block with that i also promis i have not forgotten about):
"ā€œSokka I really think you need to take a moment and-ā€
ā€œI am fine Aang, I donā€™t have time for a feelings talk right now. Right now I need to find the fucking chief of this damn place.ā€ His words came out harsher than he meant, but he didnā€™t have the time to dwell on that.
Before Sokka could run off again to continue his search, a hand grabbed his arm. One of Arnookā€™s advisors, Malina, had started dragging him towards the podium.
ā€œDo you not realize how late you are for this Sokka? The ceremony was supposed to begin with your speech nearly an hour ago-ā€ she hissed at him as she pulled him along through the crowd.
ā€œMalina Iā€™m sorry but I really need to speak with Arnook it is urgent-ā€
ā€œThis damn speech of yours is whatā€™s urgent right now Sokka, you can speak with Arnook later but the guests are getting antsy so you need to give your speech right. Now.ā€
ā€œBut-ā€
ā€œNow.ā€
Maline shoved Sokka towards the podium and suddenly all eyes were on him. Every guest in attendance had their focus solely on Sokka."
homeboy is stressed in this scene. things are slowly going to shit in this chapter. i promise i will update this before the end of the year. i swear. im so sorry.
from a currently untitled jetko/sukka boiling rock fic:
"ā€œOh good, you survived after all,ā€ She said in a mocking tone.
Jet didnā€™t answer. He knew anything he said would be used against him. He didnā€™t know where he was. He didnā€™t know what was happening. But he would be damned if he showed that weakness in front of the fire nation.
ā€œI was told you were more talkative than this,ā€ the girl mused. There was something familiar about her, ā€œmy informants were very detailed when discussing your little teashop romance.ā€
I knew it. Jet snarled in his mind, That bastard betrayed me."
i want this fic to be a little darker but idk how good i am at writing darker fics because i love fluff and humor too much. this could be good angst practice for me.
from a toph and sokka fic that i wrote a while back to help me cope w some shit that i dont know if ill ever post:
"ā€œSokka? Are you still there?ā€ Toph asked, the slightest hint of concern began to slip into their voice
ā€œTell me a story,ā€ he was trembling. Despite all of his efforts to sound calm, he knew his voice came out trembling and scratchy and pathetic-
ā€œIs everything okay? You donā€™t sound too hot,ā€ Toph said through the phone.
Breathe, Sokka, breathe. You donā€™t want them to be worried, you just need to calm down.
ā€œPlease, Toph, I just,ā€ he said through shaky breaths that werenā€™t nearly deep enough for him to be getting enough oxygen, ā€œI just need a distraction. I just need to hear your voice okay?ļæ½ļæ½"
nonbinary toph anyone?
from a 10 things i hate about you kataang and zukka au:
"ā€œWhat? Something on my face?ā€ the guy asked deadpanned. He rubbed at his scar as if he were wiping off a smudge of mustard, and Aangā€™s face went pale.
ā€œStop scaring the sophomores Zuko, this oneā€™s new. He wonā€™t get yourā€¦ humorā€¦ just yet,ā€ Ms. Wu said as she waved Aang off again.
ā€œIā€™m hurt that youā€™d imply Iā€™m not funny, Wu. Iā€™m hilarious,ā€ the senior, Zuko, said as he walked past Aang.
Aang let out a sigh of relief knowing that this Zuko guy didnā€™t seem all that offended by his awkwardness, and darted out of the room."
zuko is a little shit part 2. the amount of sarcasm i have dripping off of heath ledger zuko is glorious. let zuko be a little shit. i havent added to this in months but when i finish some of my other wips i cant wait to get back to this.
i have more wips and drafts saved but none of them have anything juicy or funny or interesting yet because all of them are like less than three pages so far
but yeah, heres a good chunk of sneaky peakys from my wips!
I hope you liked them!
anyone who wants to do this can totally go for it. imma tag @ambykinns @lumities and @flowers-inthepieshop (only if you all want too!!) because this was fun :)

"On this day, March 1st 2021, Marcher Arrant sets off for his biggest walk yet...a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail."Here we go!!! This is so surreal,Ā  I can't believe this is happening! I'm excited and nervous! This is so much more than a walk. Every walk I do is. It is my way of life, my art, my therapy,Ā  my source of meaning, ect. But this walk in particular is something even more. This walk is the crossing over of a threshold. It is a self created rite of passage, a new beginning. As a Walker my I embrace a philosophy of becoming, of constant movement, of no beginning or ending, constant flux. That being said, there are moments of being, moments when flowers bloom. I'm in love with shows and movies in which you see people become their destiny. It's perhaps a banal example but the first show that comes to mind is Better Call Saul. I watched that with such joy seeing him become the sleazy lawyer he was meant to become. I was destined to become this person I have always dreamt myself to be, Marcher Arrant. This walk is where I become him fully.Ā  I made a real life flag as a symbol of that. I was born a Walker. I began walking more than those around me when I was in 6th or 7th grade. And my love for it has continually grown through the years and there have been countless thresholds I've crossed that have been pivotal in marking me for my destiny. It was around middle school or early high school that I walked from my house to downtown Columbus,Ā  a 4 hour walk. I later walked there and back. Years later I walked the tracks from Boulder, Colorado to Denver, a twelve hour walk. I ended up doing that walk a lot. Eventually I walked to Denver and back, walking for more than 24 hours without stopping. Then I started doing aimless 24 hour walks all the time. I moved to Paris. From there I did my first long distance walk, a month-longĀ  trip from Paris to Rocessvelles, Spain. That opened up a whole new door. I then walked the entire length of every street in Paris. And on and on and on... so many walks. In Paris,Ā  maybe 10 years ago now, thanks to my homie Curve (@thecurvazoid, forever grateful) I began toying with graff, came up with my character and name. I later moved to Spain and did many more walks.Ā  For most of my life my walking was something personal that I did not share with anyone. I thought it romantic, beautiful and pure that my art was just for me.Ā  But then I had a health scare and it was then I got the urge to share what I do online. I felt I had something unique to offer the world and I did not want to die without sharing it.Ā  I am glad I did because doing so gave my life so much more meaning.Ā  I then got into making art and books and fell in love with that.Ā  2 years ago I decided that before I did another big walk that I would catch my art up to my life and make books and art from all my previous walks so that when I did the next walk I could focus for the first time on making art and a book while I was doing the walk instead of going back and doing it after the fact. I finished all the art and books for my past walks. This is the first walk where everything comes together for the first time, the walk, the art, the book, the graffiti. Also over the last two years I decided to set up for myself work so that I will always have a job no matter where in the world I am so that I can walk with no pause. I began an online English teaching business. It was a long road to be able to get enough students so that I could make a living from it.Ā  I have finally gotten to the point where I am fully booked. I begin my dream life now, a sustainable life where through art and teaching English I can walk forever and take care of myself.Ā  My dream is to spend my life walking the world, alternating from long distance walks to living in new cities and fully exploring those, walking every street and painting and making art.Ā  This is a dream come true, my idiosyncratic idea of the perfect life, a life I will never tire of, one that suits who I am in the most perfect way.Ā  I am in love with the writer Nietzsche who philosophy was about making your life a work of art, living in a way that ties together all the aspects of you into a beautiful whole. The work I have done over the past few years with the walking, the graffiti, the English teaching, the art and books, the travel and how they have all tied together at this moment, with this walk, I have accomplished this goal of making my life a work of art and tying all the aspects of my life into a harmony. No matter what happens in my life now, I can die happy having accomplished this. For me, it is a sort of intangible form of art, my greatest accomplishment.Ā  It is so hard to figure out who you are and what you want when there is no precursor to it. I am so fucking proud of myself for believing in my strange vision despite the fact that until very recently it never gave me a cent, never did anything to advance my life or do anything for me besides the meaning it gave to me. It is so hard to keep doing something that seems to everyone around you, to society, to be utterly useless. You have to be brave and trust your vision.Ā 
The hardest part of any walk for me is getting to the starting point.Ā  I grew up pretty poor.Ā  When you grow up poor, at least for me, everything seems so out of reach.Ā  You have this unconscious feeling that you would never be able to do so many things.Ā  This is great because when you do those things your mind is just blown and youĀ  are so amazed and in disbelief and you donā€™t take it for granted in the slightest.Ā  I never in a million years thought I would be able to live in another country.Ā  I thought that was something rich people do which is totally untrue but that is just the kind of mentality you have when you grow up poor.Ā  When I moved to Europe it was surreal. Every single day, for the ten years I lived there, I was in total awe that I was there. I did not have a single boring day. Every single day I could not believe I lived there and that did not lessen a single minute bit the entire time I lived there.Ā  It is the same way I feel about doing long distance walks. I was so amazed by the idea of the Appalachian Trail when I was a kid. But I thought only rich people could do it.Ā  The fact that I am setting out to do it today is absolutely surreal. I am in total disbelief that I am doing it. I keep getting scared that somehow something is going to happen so that I canā€™t do it. I donā€™t take it for granted in the slightest that I get to do it.Ā  It literally feels like a miracle to me. And there are so many to thank for it.Ā  First I want to thank my mom and step dad who let me live at their house rent free while I worked on starting my online English teaching business and making barely any money.Ā  I never could have started my business without them and saved the money I have.Ā  I thank my grandma, my dad and step mom, my sisters, my brother and all my family who have helped me so much. Thank you so so so much to the people who have bought art, books, stickers from me over the past couple years, people who have given me donations, people who bought shirts, pins ect. I never could have done this walk without that support and I am eternally grateful and forever in your debt. I take none of that for granted. Thank you for all the kind words, messages and comments, you have no idea how much that has helped me to keep on. You have no idea. No fucking idea. I could kiss every last one of you. These past two years have been two of the hardest years of my life. For the past year I worked 7 days a week, waking up at 4:30am. For various reasons I went through some horrendous depression, so many suicidal thoughts. So many times I wanted to take the money I saved for this walk and check myself into a mental hospital. All the positive words from people really helped me to keep on. Thank you so much.Ā  Thank you to my crew, the Abe Lincoln Brigade, Impeach, Hank, and Alamo. Iā€™m so grateful and honored to be in a crew with such legends, people who Iā€™ve always idolized. Thanks again to Curve (@thecurvazoid) for giving me one of the greatest gifts Iā€™ve ever been given, the gift of getting me creating art.Ā  And thank you to Art Primo (@artprimo ) for sponsoring this walk with art supplies. Not only does this help financially but the fact that such a legendary company believes in what I do enough to give me supplies is such an honor and so fucking encouraging.Ā 
There are two new things that I am doing with this walk. One, is that I will be making art with the guidebook pages as I do the walk. I have already made art with maps from my walks, but I did it after I did the walk. This is the first time I will be making art as I am actually doing the walk. I am so in love with this idea. And I love that when I send the art it will be from whatever town I am in along the walk. I think that makes the envelope itself kinda a piece of art. Selling art along the way will also make it so I spend the money for my trip at a slower rate and hopefully not end totally broke like I usually do. The second new thing I will be doing is making it so people can follow my walk online. I have a gps device that also tracks me and sends that information to a website. I think thatā€™s kinda fun and cool. It also makes it so if you want to meet up and you see Iā€™m near you you can reach out. A lot of people have offered me a place to stay or just meet up and I am so disorganized that It makes it hard to remember all the people and where they live. Hopefully this helps to make meeting up possible. You can follow my walk at share.garmin.com/marcherarrant. Again, thank you all for everything!
