So... I've been "possessed by the horny spirits of the Roger Pirates" (© @childofblackmaria) and had to exorcise them. She sent me this tweet and I fully blame them both for this !

Pairing: Roger x Rayleigh, Gaban x Rayleigh

Word count: 1.7k

🚪 Thin walls

Gaban has had a few rough nights lately, troubled with finding sleep.

Captain Roger said they'd get a new ship sometime, but for now... The walls are thin.

And Gaban hears everything. Everything.

A rustle of fabric, then a creak of wood as someone sits on the bed in the cabin next to his own.

He can hear Roger's smile in his voice as he asks, "Are you trying to seduce me ?"

Then Rayleigh's voice, husky and playful, "Is it working ?"

Gaban closes his eyes and sighs in defeat, already knowing that he's not going to rest anytime soon. Overhearing anyone having sex on the other side of the wooden wall would have been enough to disturb his sleep, but it really doesn't help that he wants to fuck Rayleigh, too. Just the thought of the blond undressing in front of him, for him, is enough to arouse him and make him ache for more.

Rayleigh's really handsome, not to mention smart, sassy and very strong, a combination of traits that Gaban particularly enjoys, so he's secretly been lusting for him for a while. Rayleigh being into men and into being taken rough was a delightful news, Gaban just wishes he didn't learn it when he first heard Roger fucking him senseless.

Gaban has a profound respect for the relationship the First Mate has with the Captain, so he'd never cross the line and try something... but he can still dream, right ? It's not like they're going to notice anyway, with the ruckus they make every other night.

"Let me see you", Rayleigh invitingly says on the other side of the wall.

Figuring he might as well jack off while they're going at it, Gaban shrugs and removes his shirt, then slides out of his pants.

Another rustle of fabric tells him Roger is doing the same, then there's another creak of wood, slightly louder than before.

Gaban lays on his bed and closes his eyes.

"I can't believe I feel small next to you, now."

Roger lets out a low appreciative hum, then a few quiet moans.

Gaban lifts a hand to his chest, exploring the broad expanse of his pecs and caressing the curly hairs between them, then slides it down his abs, following his dark happy trail, wondering how Rayleigh would touch him.

Rayleigh would look so good straddling his hips, with his strong hands wandering, teasing... How would it be like to feel the weight of his toned body over him, to touch his pale skin, to wrap his hands around his waist and pull him closer... ?

Gaban licks his lips, and palms at his growing erection through his underwear.

"Want me to suck you ?"

"Oh, yeah."

Gaban tucks his thumbs into his waistband and promptly slides out of his underwear, carelessly discarding the garment a little further on the bed. He adjusts his position on the bed, and rubs a couple of fingers on the vein on the underside of his cock.

Roger groans, a deep, rumbling sound.

Gaban licks his palm and wraps his fingers around his cock, then closes his eyes again, and starts languidly stroking, rubbing his fingertips against his frenulum.

"Oh, Rayleigh... That's so good- unf..."

More sounds, wet and lewd, earnest and hotter by the minute. He bets Rayleigh gives incredible head...

Gaban strokes faster, thumb teasing his tip, and parts his lips as he breathes more heavily.

He pictures Rayleigh on his knees, looking at him from under, soft lips wrapped around his cock and tongue playing with the vein underside, one of his hands fondling his balls as he takes him whole, slightly gagging around his girth.

Gaban would love to thread a hand through his blond hair and keep him there, feeling the back of Rayleigh's throat at his throbbing tip. He quietly hisses, picturing Rayleigh's eyelids fluttering shut as he swallows around him, nose brushing against his happy trail.

"Fuck me, Roger. I want to feel you inside me."

Gaban's balls briefly tighten. He wishes he was on the receiving side of such dirty talk, wishes so bad he could claim Rayleigh too.

"Lay down", Roger huskily instructs him.

Rayleigh, laying naked, thighs spread out for him, what a sight it must be...

Gaban envies Roger for having Rayleigh so compliant and eager, for being able to touch his skin, to kiss him, to fuck him like this.

A pop, a few moments of relative silence, then a low groan.

"You're already wide open", Roger awes.

"I've been wanting you all day, I prepared myself", Rayleigh seductively says.

Gaban squeezes his base and bites his lower lip, stifling a moan at the thought of Rayleigh stretching his ass around his fingers in anticipation of a good rough fuck. Where did he do that ? When ? Could he have stumbled upon him ? What would have happened then ? Gaban exhales a strained sigh, equal parts aroused and jealous.

Roger growls, and the bed creaks again. "Rayleigh... That's so hot..."

"Take me, then- unf !" A broken sound, followed by a series of heavy moans.

Gaban frowns, wondering what Rayleigh's face looks like right now.

Oh, to be over him, slowly sliding into him, to see his face contorted in pleasure, jaw tight and eyes screwed shut, to be the reason he moans like this...

Gaban resumes stroking as the bed creaks again. He follows Roger's rhythm, slow and regular, and tightens his grip, trying to imagine how Rayleigh would feel around his cock.

Warm and tight... Rayleigh's inner walls squeezing and pulsating around him, his slender legs wrapped around his waist to pull him deeper, hands holding onto his shoulders and digging shortly trimmed fingernails into his skin...

Faster creaks of wood, heavy pants and deep moans.

Gaban picks up his pace too, yearning to be there and able to voice his desire, too.

"Oh, fuck, Roger ! Harder ! Mmph-" Rayleigh's next moans are muffled, most probably by Roger's mouth over his.

Gaban tucks his right arm under his head, tangles his fingers into his hair and closes his eyes, picturing Rayleigh under him, looking into his eyes and pulling him by the nape for a deep kiss. He'd love to claim his mouth, to feel his moans against his own tongue as he pounds into him.

Rayleigh moans a little louder, and Gaban's balls tighten at the sound. He squeezes around his base and takes a couple of deep breaths to last a little longer, knowing fully well that Roger has an impressive stamina, and outlasts both of them often.

There's another series of creaks of the bed, then a couple of soft thudding sounds against the wooden wall.

"Oh, fuck, fuck-" Rayleigh's voice is louder now, it sounds close, so close that Gaban feels like he's moaning right against his ear.

Roger resumes fucking Rayleigh, faster and harder, and the bed now regularly hits against the common wall between their bunks.

"Fuckkk, that feels so good !" There's a light scraping sound against the wall, then another thud.

Gaban hisses again, and moves again to match their pace, now painfully aware of the position they're in.

Oh, to fuck Rayleigh bent against the wall, to hold his hips tight and bury his cock deep, to touch his arched back, beads of sweat rolling down the dip of his spine, to hold his nape and press him against the wall to take him harder...

Gaban basically fucks his own fist now, abs tense with each hip thrust, and he heavily pants. He tightens his grip, hoping Rayleigh's ass would squeeze him harder. He spreads his palm over his dick, smearing a few drops of precum on the swollen, sensitive tip-

"Aah, fuck ! There, right there !"

Gaban hisses and picks up his pace again, wishing he'd be the one rubbing hard against Rayleigh's prostate, wishing so hard to see him come undone under his ministrations.

Rayleigh must look so lewd, so fucking beautiful right now, with his fists braced tight against the wall, lips parted to exhale those sinful moans and groans, eyes half-shut in bliss, ass swallowing him whole and begging for more. And his voice is so clear, so loud...

Warmth coils into Gaban's gut at the sound, so close, so good, so fucking close...

"Fuck- Roger... Fuckfuck-"

The bed hits harder against the wall, faster too.

Gaban's body tenses as his orgasm builds up, a few beads of sweat trickling down his body.

"Make- oh, fuck YES !- Please make me cum-"

Oh, to have Rayleigh begging for his cock, begging to take him, begging to make him cum...

Another loud thud on the wall, followed by a long moan, broken with powerful thrusts.

The coil snaps, and Gaban bites on his fist to muffle a groan when he finally cums, thick white lines landing on his torso as his hips stutter against his hand.

Roger fucks Rayleigh through the afterglow, earning a few more lewd moans and groans, but he doesn't last much longer either : he exhales a low groan soon and the bed stops creaking shortly after.

While he regains his breath, Gaban feels another pang of jealousy at the thought of Captain Roger emptying his balls inside Rayleigh, followed by a wave of guilt as he opens his eyes and sees the mess he made. Still panting, he blindly grabs a towel under his bed and cleans himself up, hoping that they're done now, and that he can finally sleep, for lack of a better option.

A loud, clear slap of flesh against flesh, followed by a hiss and a moan.

"Wanna fuck you more", Roger growls.

Gaban rolls his eyes and heavily sighs.

Rayleigh exhales a low chuckle. "Yeah ?"

"Mh-hmm."

"Well, you're not the only one..."

Gaban stiffens and his heart starts drumming in his chest as he stares at the wall. Did Rayleigh-

Light scraping against the wall, close, so close to his ear. Then, a few soft thuds against the wood.

Right, the walls are fucking thin.

A louder thud on the wall, then Roger speaks again. "Oi, Gaban."

Gaban swallows, and he's expecting anything but the smile he clearly hears in his Captain's voice as he next talks.

"Wanna help me wreck Rayleigh ?"

Gaban blinks and all his blood rushes south. When his brain finally catches up, he scrambles up and rushes out of his cabin – without a single fuck spared for still being butt naked.

Mistaken

It was the hero who figured out the villain’s identity first. Mostly by accident, actually. The hero had no means of looking into who they were.

Masquerade parties were fun and all, but when you spend a majority of your time fighting someone in a mask, you recognize who they are with one at all times, even if it’s an entirely different getup.

The hero managed to make themselves scarce after that, a fumbled stream of excuses of an unfed cat that didn’t exist, an early morning shift that wasn’t until the afternoon. Whatever they could to leave, because if they recognized the villain, the villain could recognize them.

It didn’t stop the hero from lingering in the shadows, from watching the villain’s car, from seeing a full unmasked face.

Yes, the first part was an accident, but the occasional trailing was not.

The hero had their ways, and whenever they weren’t busy, they were able to catch up to the villain in some manner.

At a coffee shop. A library. A bar. A restaurant. At the right hand of some big shot politician. That part wasn’t good.

It was unfortunate that the villain noticed certain constants in their life. Like a particular civilian trailing them almost everywhere they went these days.

So, the villain figured out the hero’s identity second, after some thorough searching through public records and favors called in from that big shot politician.

It became a waiting game, one of the villain’s design. They just had to be clever about it, and wait until Hero made an appearance in public.

One little robbery was arranged, one the hero couldn’t resist swooping in to help. Then, the decoy villain would appear. The swish of a cape and clack of similar boots.

The hero took the bait, following the decoy all the way to the coffee shop the villain and politician frequented.

That’s when the true villain came in, as their civilian self, of course. The hero swiftly followed, brushing off any pictures or autographs in claims of an ‘emergency’.

No one really noticed one person slip into the bathroom after the other.

From there, it was the hero’s move. The only one taking a risk was the hero, who would look absolutely dreadful pressing an innocent civilian for information in the bathroom.

All it needed was a little push.

“Y-you.” The villain’s well practiced tone wavered. “Hero! Oh my. I’m a huge fan!”

The hero, quick as they may be, managed to be flustered at the faux praise of the villain.

“You can save it.” They managed to spit out. “I know who you are.”

“(Civilian name)?” The villain repeated their own name. “Have we met before?” They bit down on their lip, pretending to ponder something. “Oh, do you mean as a political advisor? I-I know Politician’s not the best, but truly, he’s a work in progress-”

“Cut it out!” The hero groaned. “Stop pretending, Villain.”

The villain’s eyes widened, their voice dropped to a whisper. “Is Villain here?”

That finally tipped the hero over the boiling point. They shoved the villain against the wall, hands resting on their shoulders.

“I don’t know why you’re insisting on keeping up this ruse.” The hero said, trying to keep their cool. “Just tell me what you’re planning. A robbery? That’s nothing compared to your normal antics.”

At this point, the villain began looking like any scared civilian would. “You-you must be mistaken. I-I’m not villain! I mean, I do forget to recycle sometimes but I’m n-not-”

It was unfortunate the villain liked to notice the constants in their life. And a constant was that someone always went to the bathroom right about now. A regular who didn’t bother to knock because most people locked the door. The villain did not lock the door.

The hero turned their head, only for the villain to yank them back by their chin, pressing their lips against the hero’s, and pinning them on the opposite wall.

A slight change in well-calculated plans.

Politician was not meant to walk into the bathroom, and while he would work as well as any other civilian, there were some certain...complications with his point of view.

“Oh, Right Hand, alright. See you at 1:00? Yep. Ok.”

The door closed, and the villain didn’t remove their lips until Politician was ten feet away from the bathroom.

Promptly after, the hero punched them.

“That was your plan? Make it seem like the civilian advisor was in a relationship with a hero?”

The villain, rubbing their jaw, chuckled. “No point in the facade now. It was going splendidly, too. Anyone but Politician could have walked in.”

Finally catching on, the hero slumped against the same wall the villain had them pinned against.

“You,” the hero began in disbelief. “You were going to have a civilian walk in, make me seem like the bad guy.”

“Planned down perfectly. I know everything that goes on in this place, and it was not meant to be Politician that came in.” The villain laughed again, this time out of desperation. “Oh, I was so looking forward to your fall from grace.”

At that, the hero narrowed their eyes. “Politician could have done that easily, better than a civilian.”

Something hungry flashed in the villain’s eyes. “Oh, but my dear, I wouldn’t want that moron anywhere near your ruination.”

The hero didn’t like how quickly the villain went from a timid civilian to the nemesis they were all too familiar with.

“A civilian could orchestrate your less than graceful descent from the good side, but Politician could have you obliterated completely.”

The villain lunged forward then, taking advantage of the hero’s slouching position, once again pushing them against the wall.

“And while I absolutely-” they paused, looking the hero up and down in one quick glance. “loathe you. I would rather die than have anyone else be the final push in your downfall.”

The hero craned their neck forward. “My downfall isn’t going to happen anytime soon.” They had to stop themselves, nearly shuddering with the villain’s breath tickling their face. “An-and even if it were to happen, I would never let you be the cause.”

The villain grinned. “So sure of yourself.” They released the hero. “I’ll be seeing you, (Civilian’s name)”

[trashytummiez]

Jack has an upset stomach. So Prefect gives him ginger ale for him to chug and makes him really gassy.

Yuu always loved cuddling with Jack on the couch together. The musclebound wolf was such a sucker for physical affection that he always kept Yuu firmly wrapped in a protective and loving embrace. This made it easier to rest her head against his broad chest and rub his muscular tummy from beneath his shirt which always made his gray tail wag merrily.

Jack's stomach was pressing out tightly and his perfect abs were thinned. He'd just had a very big meal and was enjoying some post-food tummy rubs from his girlfriend. The wolf always loved having his belly rubbed by Yuu it came with being a wolf boy. Canines always loved having their tummies rubbed.

And Yuu loved Jack's tummy a whole lot. It was a win win for everyone.

But then Jack's stomach uttered a sickly deep bubbling. The kind that was both loud and really unpleasant sounding.

Jack grimaced and sat up from his side of the couch along with Yuu.

"Are you alright?" Yuu asked.

Jack bared his fangs and winced with a hand gripping his stomach hard.

"Ungh...my stomach's been bothering me for an hour actually..." Jack confessed.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Yuu asked.

"W-Well it's not like I couldn't handle it or anything," Jack said back defensively. But an even sharper churn made him recoil with pain. "The belly rubs were helping but they were just dulling the pain not making it go away..."

Poor boy.

Yuu just smiled and patted Jack on the back. She hopped up from the couch and went to the fridge and eventually pulled out a two liter bottle of Ginger Ale. She gave the bottle to Jack and told him to drink up that ginger ale always helped with an upset tummy.

At first Jack was dismissive of the idea pulling that macho silliness that he was a wolf and that he could handle a little bellyache. But when his belly started aching just a little too much with another intense churn he caved and took the bottle.

Jack brought it to his lips leaned back and began chugging a hearty amount of the soda all at once. His throat bobbed with really thick gulps that squelched loudly from his throbbing Adam's apple.

Yuu watched with heat in her cheeks while her beefy boyfriend slugged down a great deal of soda in a short timespan. Jack being a wolf meant he had an intensity to his appetite that most students couldn't match. It also meant he could down liquids a lot faster than everyone else except Leona and Ruggie. The sound of every thick wet gulp Jack gave was like music to Yuu's ears.

She listened and watched as the soda drained from the bottle at a remarkable pace. When she looked down she saw Jack's tummy beginning to stretch out. It was growing more bloated the more soda he downed and getting tighter by the second.

After getting a third of the ginger ale down Jack pulled the bottle aside and gasped heavily. He needed to catch his breath for a second there. But then Jack uttered a big rumbling burp that Yuu could feel reverberate beneath her.

BEEEEEEEEEELLLLUUUURRRRCH!!!!!

Jack panted then winced as more gas bubbled in his belly. He gave the side of his stomach a firm pat and uttered another large gassy burp. An even louder burp followed right after that then a weaker one.

"Unnf, man," Jack huffed and patted his belly with relief.

Yuu blushed so intensely at that action.

"...Excuse you," she uttered.

Jack simply grunted and gave his tummy a gentle inquisitive rub. "Huh. Starting to feel a little better," he admitted.

Then he went right back to chugging more ginger ale.

He was sucking a great deal of the beverage with heavy gusto. Little golfball sized lumps rippled down Jack's throat with the amount of soda he was chugging all at once. His tummy continued expanding a little from all that soda filling him up along with the meal he already ate.

Jack paused to catch his breath after getting a good amount of soda down then once again burped so hard that Yuu could feel her bones rattle. Then he went right back to chugging while Yuu fawned over him.

Jack's tummy swelled out enough that his shirt started riding up. By the time he finished his abs were barely visible anymore from how bloated and taut his stomach had become. But the unpleasantly sour and sharp gurgling in his belly was being overtaken by a noisy deeper burbling from being so full of soda.

Oddly enough the latter was much easier for Jack to deal with. Anytime the bubbling got too intense Jack would pull the bottle away and let out the deepest burp Yuu had ever heard. Jack's burps were so strong that Yuu felt it each time he erupted with one. The sound alone turned her on but the feeling of reverberation was a whole new level of stimulation which riled her up.

But eventually Jack Howl finished the soda and tossed the crinkled bottle into a nearby trash can.

Then Jack threw his head back with the loudest and longest burp Yuu had ever heard him utter.

BWUUUUUUUUOOOOOORRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHRRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAARRRRUUUURRRRRRRHP!!!!!!!!

Yuu's face couldn't get more red by that point as she counted each second in her head. That was a ten second long burp easily!

"...That was a really good one Jack," Yuu expressed. The arousal in her voice was not at all subtle.

Jack moaned and slumped back on the couch lazily rubbing his bulging belly with both hands.

"Ungh...I'm so full..." Jack huffed moments before releasing another rumbling burp for Yuu to delight in.

Jack's belly was round and so incredibly tight looking. He was so bloated that his shirt lifted up enough to expose his belly button.

Yuu settled down besides Jack and put her hand on his expanded tummy. It felt so warm and taut. The way it gurgled so heavily beneath her hand suggested Jack's stomach was in flux from all that soda going down at once.

She rubbed Jack's belly in tension-reducing circles. Her soft delicate hand gingerly glided across that rock hard burbling tummy in wide circles that left Jack huffing. Yuu's hand ran up and down the side of that expansive stomach right around Jack's firm ribs. Her hand firmly ran from side to side to feel up the rounded crest of Jack's stomach.

Like before the soda chugging Jack's tail was once again wagging from the tummy rub. Yuu giggled and gave Jack's tummy a teasing pat which caused Jack to hiccup.

With so much pressure in his belly Yuu decided to help by applying a little more pressure to Jack's stomach.

The added pressure was enough to make Jack release a tremendous burp.

HOOOOOOOOUUUUUURRRRHP!!!!!

The air had a semi-sweet smell from the ginger ale Jack consumed.

All that soda in his belly was making Jack really gassy and Yuu was loving every second of it. She pushed on Jack's belly again and the wolf gave another big throaty burp in response. He panted and couldn't help letting out another one right after that.

"You're really letting them out today huh," Yuu teased while she rubbed her hand over Jack's belly button.

"Hmph yeah yeah," Jack grumbled and blushed. He knew all about his girlfriends fetishes and even though he didn't get any of them he was begrudgingly okay with indulging them.

Though in this case, it really was just all that soda settling in his tummy.

Yuu continued fondling Jack's rounded belly pressing and kneading into it while she rubbed. And every time she did another forceful burp would erupt from Jack's throat. Sometimes a few in a row would come out whenever one got stuck and a big one rolled out freeing the others.

Finally she squeezed out one final burp that lasted almost as long as that ten second monster Jack let out earlier. After that Jack panted and went limp. Yuu fawned and giggled cuddling up besides Jack and more gently rubbing his bubbling tummy.

"Hows your tummy feeling now?" Yuu asked while delicately tracing her finger across Jack's tender lower stomach.

"...Exhausted..." Jack panted.

Yuu giggled and kissed Jack's belly button.

The young wolf blushed hard and looked away with a flustered grumble.

Jack sure was easy to fluster. But given how enamored Yuu was with his big tightly packed tummy and all the sounds it was making, Yuu figured it was about a tie for who flustered the other more.

BBBRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHP!!!!!

Jack burped one last time and thumped his chest with a softer burp.

"Unf...'scuse me."

...Okay, scratch that. Even though he wasn't even trying to, Jack definitely out-flustered Yuu.

Close Your Eyes (And Picture Me) (NSFW)

Pairing: Sam x Reader

Words: 1,219

Warning: sexting, sub!Sam

Summary: the reader has fun with her boyfriend while she's stuck in the bunker and he isn't.

A/N: This was supposed to go up in April but then finals happened. Oops. Sorry, @saxxxology

Betaed by Amory:

---

Being alone in the bunker sucks.

First off, it’s creepy. It’s being alone in a house but taken to a whole new level because this is a fucking bunker and not even Sam and Dean know all its nooks and crannies.

Second off, it’s boring. Even once your injuries from the last hunt start to heal and you’re not as limited in your activities anymore. There’s only so much a girl can get up to alone in a huge ass bunker. You’re a teeny bit tempted to go find a small hunt to handle on your own while the boys are gone but logic wins out and you decide to just wait until they get home.

That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your boyfriend, though.

--

The first picture comes not long after the brothers get back to their motel room after burning the bones. It’s late for them but only about 10 PM in Kansas and Sam knows Y/N is probably getting ready for bed. He’s not entirely sure what he was expecting when he opened the text notification but it definitely wasn’t a picture of his very naked girlfriend sitting cross-legged on their bed, giving the camera a shy smile that should not be nearly so sexy as it most definitely is.

“Fuck,” he hisses before he can stop himself.

“Hmm?” Dean’s head pops up from where he’s unlacing his boots.

“Nothing,” Sam says hastily, shifting to hide the definite bulge in his jeans. “Just pinched a nerve.”

“Ooh. Ouch. Dibs on first shower.”

Sam rolls his eyes but doesn’t protest, turning his attention back to his phone to find a second text from Y/N. He opens it to see another picture, this one of Y/N’s body stretched out on top of the covers, one leg bent and falling to the side. He stares for a moment before he manages to make his brain work enough to type out a response.

Sent 12:08 AM: Damn

He doesn’t have to wait long for a response.

Received 12:09 AM: That’s all you’ve got?

Attached is another photo, from a similar angle as before but now Y/N’s hand is between her legs, where Sam knows it’s warm and wet and oh so perfect.

Received 12:11 AM: What’re you wearing? 😉

Received 12:12 AM: No, wait. Let me guess. The blue and orange plaid, grey t-shirt underneath. How’d I do?

Sam chuckles.

Sent 12:14 AM: Sorry. I went for the plain brown plaid tonight. I didn’t want to get graveyard dirt on any of my nice shirts.

Received 12:15 AM: Ooh graveyard. That means you’re all sweaty 😉

Received 12:15 AM: Lemme see?

That makes Sam hesitate. He glances at the bathroom door. The shower is still running and it’s only been a few minutes, so Dean’s not likely to come out anytime soon. Which means no one’s around to see what Sam’s about to do.

There’s a mirror on one wall of the motel room. He could use his front-facing camera but he’s never actually taken a selfie before on his own - Y/N has plenty of pictures of both of them saved on her phone - and he’s far from confident of his abilities.

It takes him far too long to take a picture that doesn’t make him look like a total idiot. How do people do this on a regular basis? He feels ridiculous as he finally takes a decent looking picture and sends it to Y/N.

Received 12:22 AM: I’m going to have to teach you how to take selfies.

Sam’s cheeks burn but right on the heels of that text is another.

Received 12:22 AM: Take off your shirt for me?

He hesitates again. The shower is still running. How long has it been? More than ten minutes. Dean will be getting out soon. He’s better off waiting until he can lock himself in the bathroom.

Right on cue, the shower turns off. Sam returns to his spot on the edge of the bed and quickly unlaces his boots. He’s gathering his pajamas and anything else he’ll need for the shower when Dean emerges from the bathroom in nothing but a cloud of steam and a towel.

“Dude!” Sam protests, a little more dramatic than is strictly necessary considering that Dean is technically covered.

“Forgot my clothes,” Dean replies cooly. “Don’t act like it’s anything you haven’t seen before.”

Sam rolls his eyes, heading toward the bathroom. “Don’t mean I want to see it again!” He catches a glimpse of Dean flipping him off right before he closes and locks the door.

Safe in the bathroom, Sam turns to the mirror. Dean’s wiped it with a towel, so he can see himself and his cheeks are bright pink. He grimaces. Hopefully Dean didn’t notice that.

Drawing a deep breath, Sam sheds his shirts. He knows he shouldn’t be self-conscious - he knows all too well how much Y/N likes his body and, logically, he knows he looks good, but he can’t help it. There’s still that part of him that sees only his scars, the muscle mass he’s lost over the years, the grey in his hair, and doesn’t understand what Y/N finds so arousing in his appearance.

When he unlocks his phone, he finds another text from Y/N.

Received 12:27 AM: You don’t have to show me anything if you don’t want to.

God, what did he do to deserve her?

Sam wants to take a picture, though. She asked for one and he knows it would make her happy, so he’s going to try. He strips off his shirts, letting them fall in a sweaty heap on the floor near Dean’s, and opens the camera on his phone. The many tries from earlier helped, it seems, and it doesn’t take him quite as many tries to take a picture he deems good enough for her. He sends it quickly, before he can change his mind, and then finally turns on the shower.

Received 12:34 AM: Unf

Received 12:34 AM: I’ve missed that view.

Received 12:35 AM: I want to kiss every little cut and bruise all better, and then take my time marking you up myself. Would you like that?

Sam shivers at the thought.

Sent 12:35 AM: I would.

Received 12:36 AM: So polite. I bet you would look so pretty with my marks on you. The collarbone is classic but I think your hipbones would be a good spot.

The mental image of Y/N on her knees, sucking marks on his hipbones, makes Sam’s cock jerk painfully against the zipper of his jeans. He quickly frees it.

Received 12:37 AM: Are you getting in the shower, baby?

Sent 12:37 AM: Yes

Received 12:37 AM: Are you going to touch yourself?

He bites his lip. He was planning on it but if she tells him he can’t, he won’t.

Sent 12:38 AM: May I?

Received 12:38 AM: Yes, you can.

Sam notes that she didn’t say he could cum. Sure enough, his phone buzzes right when he gets in the shower.

Received 12:39 AM: Oh, and Sam?

Received 12:39 AM: Don’t cum.

Goddammit.

a gratitude/follow forever post!

Seeing as it’s been a few, good months since I’ve created this Stiles blog, I wanted to take the time to admire some of my writing partners and followers. While I have yet to really reach a certain number of them, no real achievement for that, it’s not about how many people follow me but rather, the content you guys have given me and allowed me to write with you. So, since it’s nearing the end of the year, I wanted to love on everyone who has given me such joy writing Stiles and those of you who genuinely brighten my days. This post is going to be a loooong one, feel free to skip it if you like.

@lionheartedxvixen​ [+every single blog you have, girl]; Nelly, you are already aware of how much I love you since I love to be a cheeseball and just tell you from time to time. I’ve written plenty of those corny posts over the years on my personal blog, every single time we wrapped up another year and hit another milestone together. Your 13+ years of friendship has and always will be something I cherish, something I’ll honestly carry with me forever. And, I adore your portrayals of every character you’ve ever written! Every interaction we’ve ever had has always left me excited and wanting more (yeah, I’m greedy, sue me). From Brucas, to Brachel, Steroline, Steferine, Forbinski, Barlia and Stalia (plus the many other friendships, family, enemies, whatever!), I adore them all. You will always be my best friend and I’m always gonna wanna follow you to new places, give our muses new adventures and just love the hell out of you and your writing. Thank you for everything you do and have done for me. I truly believe you’re like one of my soul mates.

@kisscflife​; Moira, even though we don’t interact too often, I love you and appreciate all your support and genuine love for me. Your support has been so important to me this last year, especially with my transitioning. I want you to know that I greatly appreciate it and I’m glad we get along so well now. I’m blessed to call you a sister, but you’re always also going to be a friend. You should also know that your writing is amazing and you’re far more talented than you believe. You put a lot of thought into your OCs, which I love about them all. And I love laughing at the crack ideas of our characters, even if we don’t always make threads for them or write them out. Just the actual thought of some of the things we’ve talked and laughed about makes my day, every time. Don’t be hard on yourself, you are loved.

@ofherblueeyes​; Effy, my Stiles muse was half alive, half dead when you approached me about wanting to plot something and write together. My activity has now gone through the roof once more and I’m serious that you are partially to blame for this! I’m already having far too much fun with every thread we have made. They give me the feels, the joy, the sobs, the pain, the giggles, EVERYTHING. Thanks for reaching out and giving me the opportunity to write with you! Your Malia seriously makes me laugh and smile, and those damn painful posts make me wanna give her a hug. Or, rather, let Stiles (or even now Isaac) love on her! I look forward to more fun ideas, whether they’re on tumblr or discord, I don’t care. JUST GIVE ME EVERYTHING!

@literally-lydia​;  Kaliya, you were the first Lydia player who wanted to interact with Stiles on my mumu. While we haven’t written much lately, you are far too sweet for words and the time you spend writing out these replies really shows how much you love your muse. I enjoy reading your replies, though we haven’t done too much yet, you also make me smile in pms! Thank you for enjoying my Stiles and my writing, ‘cause I appreciate you and yours, too! 

@kanima-claws​; Jackson constantly either amuses or produces such feelings in me. Your writing and the amount of love you pour into him really shines, it just makes me miss the damn guy so much! Our thread hasn’t seen the light of day for a while (because I have been so bad at remembering and switched blogs and blah), but it is easily one of my favorites! Especially since Jackson ripped into Stiles about the Star Wars figures and pretty much thinks he’s the biggest loser known to mankind. ROFL I can’t wait to explore their dynamic more and just have all the funny things and hope they can learn to get along. I mean, they need to at some point. Thanks for being so sweet out of character as well, you are a geeeem in the rpc. I mean that!

@bansheeintuition​; Stephanie, oh my word, you are beyond talented at what you do. Every reply you respond with honestly blows me away because of your writing style and your grasp on Lydia. Our zombie AU literally became my obsession for some time and I adored it so much! The descriptions, the dialogue, just everything was so vivid and beautiful that it really was brought to life! I know we haven’t interacted too much since but I am always down for plotting and writing together because I love your portrayal and blog to bits! You are also far too sweet out of character, and so considerate and friendly whenever we’ve chatted, be it through tumblr or discord. Thank you for loving on Stiles and allowing me to bring him to life with your Lydia. <3

@thewailer​; Kate, UGH our thread and plot makes me stoked! I know it’s been slow going and you’re currently on hiatus, but just plotting it out and the overall feel of it and ideas for it are so great, I literally want to bask in all of it forever and a day. I love AUs and this idea is like, the AU of the century! Stydia investigating supernatural/paranormal things in the 1940s? Yessssss. Grabby hands! Gimmie! I love that you send in memes and answer them as well and just put so much effort into your portrayal and writing! Your muse gives me muse and gives me the creativity to want to write better. Plus, I love answering those memes and making little headcanons about Stydia (like the one where they blindfolded each other in the woods!). Thanks for being great out of character as well, and so patient with me when I had been away for a while. I look forward to you on my dash when you return and I hope life is treating you well! 

@deadbrcther​; Uggggh, your Isaac literally makes me MELT! Isaac is my absolute favorite next to Stiles and your writing really brings him to life. I know we haven’t written much together but I also admire him from afar and just enjoying being able to see him (and Noah) on my dash, whenever you’re around! Yes, I read their interactions at times, just to silently sob about how much Isaac deserved and didn’t get. I need more Stisaac in my life as well, and am always interested in them if you’d want to plot or work on something! :D

@ofnoblehunt​ / @haleontheprowl​; Rachel, I honestly didn’t think I needed more Stallison in my life, or even Stora but, your writing and muses are too good and I would honestly love to do more together! Those memes and your replies, even though we literally barely started interacting together, really gave me some legit feels. You’re also fun to chat with ooc and while we haven’t lately, I hope you’re doing well! I look forward to writing more together in the future and will love on both girls for as long as I can. :3

@willsavethem​; Meaghan, let me tell you something about Scott McCall and your portrayal of him: I. LOVE. YOU. Honestly, I get so excited whenever I see him on my dashboard and whenever you reply to just about anything possible. I would definitely love to pick up some more Sciles and am always up for working on something together. Just know that I creep on your posts and bask in them from afar because he is far too precious for this world and deserves all the good things. 

@perfectioncursed​; Beth, I haven’t even watched Riverdale yet, tbh, but Betty and Stiles give me liiiiife! -insert a sobbing face- While I know they’ve only had the few interactions, just their banter lifts me up and makes me want to explore their dynamic more. I wanted to appreciate you also as a writer, because I do peep on those posts when I see Betty on my dash. 👀 I love her and the fact that she would totally write a list about Stiles. (Plus, you know, that time he finally caved and let her look at his broken down Jeep? Yeah, that was greeeeat!) I look forward to more things, honestly. Feel free to throw anything at me, I’m game!

@oftroubledsouls​; Just chatting about Sterek the other day honestly made me so happy. Like, I know we haven’t interacted yet as I just took that Derek starter but, ugh. I am looking forward to it! Like, I need that goodness in Stiles’ life and it’s just gonna be a good time, I feel it. I also love seeing your muses on my dash and read them whenever I can. :) Feel free to hop into pms at anytime, even if just to ramble with me about Sterek and how much chemistry they had, UNF.

@leftinthedcst​; Kait, your blog on my dash makes me so happy! I like to read most of your interactions, as I find them so engrossing and just fun to see. Your characters are on point and while we haven’t interacted all that much, I would love to do that and plot some things out. I just wanted to take a moment to admire you because you deserve it and I hope you have a wonderful day. <3

other honorable mentions and people I either have chatted with/would love to plot with/simply adore on my dash are; @supernaturaliisms​, @survivingpierce​, @redemptivexheroics​, @tooxmanyxfaces​, @rosefromdeath​, @changedback​, @astormofagirl​, @monxsterxhunxters​, @vandbaerer​. 

Honestly, if you aren’t mentioned and I follow you or we have yet to break the ice, just know that I followed you because I’m interested in your blog/your muse(s) and would love to establish something together! My followers list is honestly not that long at all, it’s barely 50 people rofl but every single one of you is there for a reason and I adore the heck out of you all. <3 Thanks for being you, for enjoying and following Stiles and giving me so much to look forward to when it comes to being in the rpc.

What to do With Your Sourdough Discard

Like many of us stuck in quarantine or isolation, odds are you’ve been doing a bit more baking than usual, maybe even started experimenting with sourdough! Baking with sourdough can be challenging, but it’s also fun and rewarding, and can lead to some of the best tasting breads around! That said, baking with sourdough can also create some challenges; like what to do with all that sourdough discard! Before tossing it out, here’s something worth considering:

While there’s plenty of active yeast and bacteria involved, when it comes right down to it, sourdough starter is little more than flour and water. Unfed sourdough starter may not be very active and bubbly, and it won’t rise quite like fed sourdough starter, but that doesn’t mean you can’t bake with it! In fact, there are countless recipes available online that call for unfed sourdough starter.

You can try making some delicious buttery sourdough biscuits, or perhaps some sourdough chocolate cake! Maybe some sourdough muffins, or delicious sourdough soft pretzels. So long as you add some baking powder your creations will rise and puff like they’re supposed to, and the tiny tang added to the flavor can nicely compliment both savoury and sweet treats. So next time you feed your sourdough starter, think about all the delicious things you can bake before you toss out that discard!

Vibrate 2000. Your masters seem lucky to have such a good slut, I hope someday I can find someone to serve as well as you do

Thank you for the trigger, unf that makes me horny.

I feel lucky to have such a good owner! And I am sure that you can find someone for yourself. I find the best way is to make kinky friends. The type of people who you can share fantasies with, do RP together, share porn, that sort of thing. You can naturally find people who want to play they way. You can find people who are a really good fit that way. Once the pandemic gets better I encourage you to get out to whatever in person events there are in your area! It is a lot less intimidating than you would think.

In any case, I always like chatting with people. You can DM anytime if you like.

Man that vibrate trigger is distracting. Thank you!

Mass Effect Andromeda 10 Hour Review

As promised, here are my thoughts and opinions on the first 10 hours of Andromeda single player and multiplayer. It’s long because I have feelings There is a short non-spoilery Pros/Cons and a bit about multiplayer. Then I go into major spoilers for characters and story. I have a lot things to say guys. 

Edit: So i just realized I never put a “keep reading” sorry bout that

Cons:

the character creator - I guess I was expecting something along the lines of Inquisitions CC

It was really disappointing, the lack of options really was a let down, I mean there were more options in ME3′s CC than this

but theyre suppose to be releasing a patch to fix the CC and some kind of Black Emporium-esque face editing thin

Thats it, thats my only complaint

Pros:

Everything else it was so good and so fun I can’t wait for tuesday

Any awkward facial animations were funny and I laughed. They weren’t game breaking or anything and can easily be ignored or missed

The casual outfits look so cool and you can change the color of them

FUCK YEAH THE MUSIC OH MY GOD ITS SO GOOD

literally everything is so good I love it the game play, the combat, the characters

~~~~

The multiplayer is so much fun, it really gives you a chance to learn how combat works in game and the different skills you can learn. Also its not like ME3 where the story is affected by multiplayer. I’m not a hundred percent sure but it came across like certain missions you could assign to be taken care of in multiplayer. I may be wrong.

~~~~

So friends, as someone who loves the Mass Effect series, I promise you this very much is a Mass Effect game. It has the same wonder and exploration of the first game, and the great storylines of the second and third games. Give it a chance friends, you won’t be disappointed. 

~~~~

**And this is where I go into story and character stuff so if you want to stop reading you can cause I talk about MAJOR STORY SPOILERS. I have thoughts and feelings and I need to write them down**

Okay so in the first 13 minutes video review, I said there were gonna be Daddy Issues but right after that Alec shows legitamite concern about Scott and his coma. He just has to be professional. And from what comes up later it seems like he genuinely loves his children, he’s just bad at being a dad. And how you react to him and what you say affects things in the story

Habitat 7 is terrifying yet so much fun. It really teaches you how to play the game. Everything about it makes you feel like you’re in a whole new galaxy. None of the rules of the Milky Way apply and you’re totally out of your depth here.  At least how I played, I wanted to be peaceful towards the Unknown Aliens (The Kett but we don’t know that yet shush). They shot first. How rude. I wanted to be friends. Theia, my Ryder, even says something along the lines “I didn’t want to fight them”

*MAJOR SPOILER* My dad, my poor dad, he sacrificed himself so I could live. Or to avoid responsibility. But he transferred SAM to me, and made me the new Pathfinder. AND IT NEARLY KILLED ME THANKS DAD. And ooh it seems Cora may be a little salty about Alec making me in charge, but I don’t see it causeing a major problem. 

There’s a mission called “Ryder Family Secerets” so like what the fuck did you do Dad?

Onto the Nexus, and anything that could’ve gone wrong went wrong. Everything is awful. But the Nexus is cool looking af. And all of the people you meet are really well developed. 

THE TEMPEST!!! IS BEAUTIFU!!! SUCH A GOOD SHIP!!! im so in love its so sleek and sexy and unf. You can even jump off of things and take no fall damge its great

*SPOILER* Theres a scene, where Ryder is standing alone on the bridge of the Tempest. And in that moment, you’re truly alone. Both of your parents are dead, your mom died of a terminal illness. Your dad sacrificed himself to save you. Your twin is in a coma and shows no signs of waking up anytime soon. Theia has never felt more alone than in that moment.

Eos, the first planet you go to, is a desert *the good, the bad, the ugly theme plays*. I only got so far before I was story locked and could go no further. But I really want to know whats going to happen. I have an idea, but I need to know.

~~~~

If you skipped that middle bit, just know the story is really cool and intriguing I can’t wait

~~~~

THE CHARACTERS! MORE SPOILERS

Cora: I liked her, I liked her personality, I liked how well rounded she seemed even just in the first 10 hours. She’ll be fun to get to know 

Liam: precious cinnamon roll. He’s a fun character, and is probably going to be the “best friend character” like Garrus was if you didn’t romance him. But i think i’m going to hook up with him his voice is so sexy. 

Vetra: bad. ass. she is so cool. and I can’t wait to get to know her more.

Lexi: I love her. I would die for her. I keep comparing her to Chakwas though, so we’ll see how that goes. - unavaliable for romance, shes into Krogan

Kallo: what a sweetie, very different from Joker. But still loves his ship more than anything. On Eos I jumped on top of the Tempest and he just goes “really Ryder?” i love. 

Suvi: I like her shes funny, but I keep hearing Cait from Fallout 4 everytime she speaks. 

Gil: he’s fuckin great I love him 

PeeBee: I met her on Eos, she’s been studying the Andromeda’s version of the Protheans. Another settler referred to her as “crazy blue” and I see where they’re coming from. Talks fast, but is adorable. 

Drack: another badass, only talked for like a minute but he basically told me to fuck off and leave him alone. I love him.

I don’t know much about the romances, but I flirted with everyone. As sis!ryder: Cora told me she wasn’t into women. Liam seemed into me. Vetra wasn’t overtly flirty back, but she didn’t mind. Suvi likes girls for sure. Gil I flirted with and he was like “nah, you’re not my type. But Liam is hot damn”.  I also flirted with Lexi, but she said no cause it’d be unethical for her to date a patient. I get that. Also she’s into Krogan. Kallo had no flirt option, so idk man

~~~~

And thats it. Andromeda is going to be a great game. If you’re still worried, I don’t know what to say. Just play the game. It’s going to be so worth it.

It's time to stop judging others for enjoying coffee and smashed avo

Yes, that $22 brunch is going to cost you $1144 a year but if youve chosen smashed avo because its cheaper than a boozy dinner out on the town on a Saturday night then good for you. Thats often the choice I make. I believe its time to ignore the hype and start figuring out whats right for you.To become mindful about your choices. That way you can stop and savour your daily caffeine hit (or whatever your small luxury might be) and feel good about the choice youre making rather than telling yourself you need to stop spending. Of course, when its a daily coffee, store bought lunch, drinks and dinner on Friday night with a new outfit of course, personal trainer on Saturdays, monthly weekends away, gym membership that you front up for once a week and brunch on Sundays - it may be time to reassess. Or when its six different after-school activities for your two kids and one morning activity, a new car, weekend sport, dinner out three nights, private school fees and a huge mortgage it may be time to reprioritise. Thats when the daily coffee can seem like the easy thing to blame. But it can also be the thing you cling to desperately because lets be honest, at this point you just need something and $4 a day at this point doesnt seem like it will make a difference. Thats why I believe we need to start exercising choice. To vote for whats important to us with our wallets. Just like we did a couple of weeks ago at the ballot box. Thats because, for many of us, the daily coffee or weekly smashed avo isnt the problem. Instead, its the mindless choices were making every day that is adding up to financial stress and even financial derailment. You might be outraged the returned government arent being serious about the environment but are driving around in huge SUVs, buying four plastic coated meals a week and indulging in fast fashion to make you feel better. While others are outraged online but investing in mining with their superannuation. Its time to be purposeful about where youre spending your money - to spend well, to luxuriate in your choices so that you enjoy today but are also looking out for yourself (and your planet) tomorrow. An easy way to do that is to download your last three months worth of spending, look at each item and question whether its a spending choice you want to keep making or if its a company you want to choose to support. (If youre going for a mortgage anytime soon the bank is going to do this exercise with your spending anyway, so you may as well start now.) If its not a spending choice you want to continue making, then cancel that subscription, membership or service and move onto the next. Once youve settled on what youre choosing to spend on, find out if thats the best deal you could receive. If youre a long-time customer, ask for a loyalty discount. If its to do with internet, phones or mortgages shop around for a better deal. Question the rent youre paying and is there a way to minimise what youre paying by taking in a boarder or downsizing. Then head to your superannuation and ask questions as to where its being invested and consider swapping if its not somewhere you feel comfortable with. Its too easy to nitpick on coffees or brunches because they can seem like quick wins or indulgences. But to me theyre like the lipstick index sometimes its important to keep the smaller spending choices and attack the bigger indulgences instead. That way we stop behaving like financial zombies and become mindful consumers. I believe its time we stopped shaming each other for our spending (and voting) choices and instead had better conversations around what spending and investing well means. Its time to realise we hold so much power in our wallets and its time to exercise it daily for good.

Or if you're already working on your online business and however to achieve financial freedom, Rich Dad Summit could not be for you likewise. The explanation is that this... Despite having a lot of great speakers with useful content, Wealthy Dad Summit's audience are people who nonetheless to search out their passion or a manner to form passive income. Therefore the teachings are pretty rudimentary. If you're a lot of experienced, I'm not saying you will not learn new things, however you may be bored or maybe go to sleep at some purpose. That's what happened to me when I attended the LIVE Summit LOL! I fell asleep during the LIVE Summit! Because of the difference in time zone, I need to rouse in the middle of the night to attend the lessons. One of the explanations I fell asleep might be as a result of I was tired. However another excuse is that a heap of the items they were talking concerning were too rudimentary for me therefore I got bored. Rich Dad Summit Lesson Details Let me briefly justify to you the event details, as well as who will be speaking and what you'll be able to expect to learn... Made Dad Summit Speakers made dad summit speakers These are the nine speakers whom you may be learning from during the 2-Day Summit. (Well, not precisely 9 together of them is Robert's Land Investing Coaches) As you can see, these are all specialists in their respective fields. Therefore there are definitely valuable lessons to be learnt however I do not assume many folks will sustain through the sixteen hours and absorb everything. Day 1: Ways that to create Your Own Passive Income Here is that the scope for Day one:     Secrets to building long-term wealth (Robert Kiyosaki & Jeremy Bellotti)     Diving into the Cashflow Quadrant (Andy Tanner)     The difference between creating a job & being an entrepreneur (Jeremy Bellotti)     The best on-line and offline business opportunities (Andrew Lantz)     The fastest manner to start a business - The X Factor (Jeremy Bellotti & Anik Singal)     Assets vs. Liabilities (Andrew Lantz)     Demystifying the stock market (Andy Tanner)     An Email list as an asset?

They will also cover some of the vital concept within the Rich Dad Poor Dad book, such as the distinction between asset and liability. These are essential knowledge if you actually wish to be financially free. But if you've browse Rich Dad Poor Dad before and you already understand the ideas, these can be rudimentary for you. Day 2: Ways in which to make Your Cash Work for You Here is the scope for Day 2:     Success is Simple (Jeremy Bellotti)     Profit from Land...The Wealthy Dad method!

For example, you may learn the way to take a position in real estate, bitcoin and you will also learn the way to use legitimate ways to pay less taxes! The Rich Dad Summit Funnel (Upsells) It's impossible for them to assemble therefore several specialists and solely sell the Summit for $one. Therefore there's clearly upsells involved. This $one Summit is what internet marketers called the "Tripwire". Just sort of a Free Gift in exchange for your Email address, it is a tripwire for more upsells within the sales funnel. made dad summit sales funnel The Made Dad Summit Sales Funnel The image above shows the sales funnel of Rich Dad Summit. The core offer is that the $one Summit we are talking about in this Made Dad Summit review. Upsell #1: Made Dad Insider Immediately once you sign up for the Summit, there's an upsell of "Made Dad Insider" which is a sophisticated course by Robert Kiyosaki. It can dive deeper into topics like property investing, taxes, self-development, passive income, entrepreneurship and many additional. It's a 15-module course with a monthly updates of new "insider secrets". This upsell has a Free fourteen-day trial and $67/month if you choose to continue. Upsell #2: five Money Rules 5 Cash Rules is an one-time-offer (OTO) upsell that value $ninety seven. Basically, this is another Robert's course about money. It teaches you the correct mindset made people are using to accumulate additional wealth and defend it. I've not purchased this course myself so I cannot say much. However, I found this course on-line which is solely charging at $4.97. Check it out here! It looks like the identical course but I'm not certain why the value difference is therefore huge. Anyway, there's a downsell for this five Cash Rules which price $forty seven. It is the "Lite" version of the $ninety seven course. Again, I've not purchased this myself so I cannot say abundant. Pros & Cons The Good one. Good for Beginners The lessons are easy-to-follow as a result of they are targeting complete beginners. That's additionally why they charge the worth at only $one. two. Covers a Wide Range of Topics This summit isn't a complicated course that is specializing in any market or experience. It's a summit that introduces you to several totally different opportunities. That's why they gather so many different specialists together to assist beginners find out the issue they need to pursue to build their passive income. 3. Learning Directly from the Consultants It's laborious for you to possess the opportunity to be told from thus several different consultants at the identical time. Who you are learning from is a lot of important than what you are learning. This is often a rare chance to concentrate to those specialists all in one place at such a low cost value. four. a hundredpercent Virtual This is often a 100p.c virtual event which suggests that you'll be able to undergo it at the comfort of your house and you'll watch the recordings anytime you want. Therefore it's pretty convenient! The Bad one. Too Basic Like I've said, a lot of experienced ones will feel that this course is simply too basic. That is conjointly why I fell asleep during the LIVE Summit. two. Too Time-consuming There is a total of 16 hours worth of video, 8 hours per day. I do not suppose there are a number of people who have that much amount of your time to go through the whole factor. Since it's too basic for me, I did not finish the entire webinar in addition. 3. Too Low-cost What are you talking about, Jerry? Too cheap is also a problem? Apparently yes! Let me ask you... what is the distinction if you pay $one,00zero for a course versus somebody who are invited to the course for FREE? Well, you'll feel it's unfair. But let's put that aside first. Do you're thinking that you may place in a lot additional effort and a focus than the one who pay nothing? Of course! The act of buying creates a commitment that causes you to require action. Since Rich Dad Summit is so cheap, I don't assume a heap of folks can take it seriously. Some might assume it's okay whether or not I cannot attend it thanks to other reasons as a result of it's simply $1. So despite they need nice content for beginners, several people won't get the total profit as a result of they're not committed. Does that build sense to you? Is Rich Dad Summit a Scam? Wealthy Dad Summit is certainly NOT a scam! There are a lot of useful information from the specialists that solely cost you $1, which is crazy. A additional appropriate question is: Is Made Dad Summit price my time? Unfortunately, a heap of us do not have sixteen hours to spend watching videos and listening to "lectures" online. Not all info can be relevant and useful to you as well. I bet that you will go to sleep or be bored out of your mind at some point during the webinar. Thus, my recommendation for you is that this... If you're an entire beginner who desires to make your own passive income however not positive where to start out, these sixteen hours of Made Dad Summit can well-value it slow. You'll be able to discover all the foremost ways that for you build passive income streams.

Phone Etiquette Rules The World Needs Right Now

amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "c8415-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "search"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_title = "Shop Related Products"; amzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = "cooking"; amzn_assoc_default_category = "Kitchen"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "51fe4d035c7af8dc5928e6f5e5b79c4e"; amzn_assoc_default_browse_node = "284507"; amzn_assoc_rows = "4"; amzn_assoc_design = "text_links";

Listen, people. We’re in crisis times here. We’ve become a nation of blithering blue-lit automatons who can barely peel our eyeballs off our shiny screen objects to acknowledge another human person within our breathing space.

Dinnertime—you know, the ritual of human-to-human bonding since time immemorial—has warped into an American tableau of disfunction and disconnection, with entire families tinkering on their phones instead of engaging with the people right there in front of them. And the same goes for friend dates.

We’ve all been there. You’ve gone back and forth and back and forth to set a date. You get to the restaurant, sit down, and your friend asks you a question about LIFE. But before you can get halfway through your first sentence, she’s checking her phone for extremely urgent updates such as a new like on the 5746th Instagram of her pug. Or maybe you are that friend, texting and tweeting while an array of small plates go cold. We’ve all been there too.

We clearly need help with this phones-at-dinner thing. So, I called up manners experts Amy Alkon, whose most recent book is Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence, and Nancy Mitchell, author of Etiquette Rules! A Field Guide to Modern Manners. Here are the new rules for dinner etiquette in the age of smartphones.

The First Step is Admitting You Have a Problem

“Our phones are designed to be electronic drugs,” says Alkon, whose advice stems from evidence-based social science. “They trigger an intermittent reinforcement response.” According to Alkon, in a study with rats and cocaine, the rats that reliably got cocaine every time they pressed on a lever, stopped pressing the lever, while rats that only got cocaine intermittently would press the lever all the time. When we get the occasional Instagram like or Twitter retweet, that’s intermittent reinforcement and it makes us want to check our phones all the time. So, your first step is admitting that you—like a rat with an unreliable cocaine lever 🤷🏻—are addicted to dumb social-media feedback.

Brian Finke

These waffles need your respect. Put the phone down!

Start with a Plan, Man

It’s hard to wing fighting off temptation in the moment, especially later in the day when our will power is depleted. “Think ahead of time how to minimize the use of your phone,” says Mitchell. “Take the calls you need to take, visit the websites, and send the texts before you get to the restaurant.” If there is some rare reason for which you can’t wait a full hour or two to check your phone, then do it on your way to the bathroom or let your friends know the pressing reason and do it quickly after finishing your mains.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

“Putting your phone on the table advertises that the virtual world is more interesting than the people at the table,” says Mitchell. If you put your phone in a bag or a jacket pocket, you won’t automatically reach for it anytime it buzzes, flashes, or rings. Alkon puts her phone on airplane mode anytime she goes out to dinner. Unless you’re a cardiac surgeon or fireman, which, let’s be real, most of us aren’t, yours should be on silent at least. And if you’re a parent, who needs it near “just in case!,” then turn off all the notifications for your apps—the latest Twitter alert isn’t an update from your babysitter and shouldn’t be treated as one.

Alex Lau

Dudes, your faces are glowing.

Don’t Kill the Vibe

“These restaurants work very hard to set up an environment,” Alkon notes. “Don’t give someone epilepsy with repeated flashes.” This is an important point, for camera flashes as well as general screen brightness. The other night, I was waiting in a packed entryway of a busy restaurant getting partially blinded by some guy’s phone with the brightness cranked up to burning-surface-of-the-sun levels. What was this man’s vital reason for exposing half the restaurant to this obnoxious glare? He was writing a comment on Facebook. Remember, when you’re in a dark, ambient restaurant checking your phone, everyone else around you is forced to check it too.

Be in the Now, My Dudes

“All these people are talking about mindfulness meditation, but you don’t have to lay on the floor for an hour,” says Alkon. “We can choose to have lives that are connected and engaged and in the moment.” That means paying attention to what people at the table are saying instead of mouthing “just one minute” while you check your phone for the zillionth time. “It’s mean and unkind,” says Alkon, to make your friends feel ignored.

Michael Graydon & Nikole Herriott

Take the photo of your porridge at Sqirl—then put it away!

But What About Food Photos?

Right about now, many of you might be asking, but what about Instagramming? Isn’t that what we all do? Sure, take your phone out when a dish comes around, take your photo, and then put it away. You can edit and post it in the Uber ride home. Done and done. You don’t need to tweet, text, or compulsively check your phone through the meal to see how many likes you’ve racked up. And it also doesn’t hurt, once in awhile, to go completely Instagram-free for a meal and enjoy your damn food while it’s still hot.

And Hey, Meet a Stranger, They Don’t Bite

“We’ve cut ourselves off from spontaneous encounters,” says Mitchell. “People are losing the ability to make small talk and basic communication skills are suffering.” It used to be that people would talk to strangers at the bar or in line, but now many people are too busy swiping left and right on virtual potential that they’re missing the real-world opportunities right in front of them. It’s still possible!

Alex Lau

We’re pretty sure she’s telling him to put the phone down here.

What About Your Friends?

Okay, so what if you have perfect phone habits, while your unwashed friends turn group dinners into silent retreats back into the virtual reality cult. There are a few different approaches to take. You can go with the ‘ol “phones stacking” challenge, in which everyone puts their phone in a neat little pile on the table and the first person to reach for his or hers has to pay the bill. You can also try, as Mitchell suggests, to broach the subject before sitting down by telling everyone that you’re going phone-free for the meal and would appreciate if they’d do the same. This also goes for dinner parties: Be the change you want to see in the world and announce that you, a hero, are leaving your phone in your coat pocket.

How to Handle That One Friend Perpetually Glued to the Screen

And what about that one friend who is always scrolling Instagram and tweeting observations about life’s hilarious little quirks as if a Seinfeld-like break depends on it? Whatever you do, don’t shame someone in the moment. Alkon says this triggers the same chemical response as fight or flight mode and people can get defensive. Instead take your friends aside at another time and let them know about how you feel when they’re staring at their always-available electronic devices instead of making the most of your QT together.

The Takeaway

What this all comes down to is being mindful of your phone use. “The basics of etiquette is thinking about how your behavior impacts other people,” says Mitchell. And it’s also thinking about how your phone compulsion affects you. At the end of the day, no one gives awards speeches or death-bed farewells about their social-media followers, so let’s keep it that way. Put your damn phone down and just eat with your real-world friends. Your notifications about your pug Instagrams and incredibly on-point Twitter gifs will be waiting for you when you’re done.

For your next (phones-free) dinner party:

Babe

so I've been talking to this guy for about all together I'd say 5 months. We're super awkward at school and don't talk. But when just me and him hangout were funny and have a good time. ( I make him smile and it's seriously the most sexy thing ever) but anyways we text 25/8 and never run out of conversation even if we're just being lameos. But I really like him and one day we both want more( like to date) but I said later and he said later like 2 weeks ago and I already want him to be my boyfriend. He's so perfect words cannot explain. Well actuall a lot can just ain't nobody got time for that rn. He's asleep rn and I should go to sleep as well but I just wanted to talk about how fucking cute he is and how happy he makes me. He is seriously the best. This is my second time talking to him fr and shit and I couldn't be any happier to have my baby back. Sometimes I'm scared to say it but sometimes I feel like I might actually love him. Like genuinely from the bottom of my heart he's got me wrapped around his palms and I don't wanna leave them. At least not anywhere close to anytime soon. I need to not be a pussy and talk to him so everyone knows he's mine and no one can have him. He brightens the room every time he walks in even if he's mean mugging all the time. He's still so damn sexy unf. Need him , want him , gotta have. I'll post a picture of him as well just to knock your socks off with his handsome

INTRO TO BOOK ARTS: COURSE SYLLABUS

The University of North Florida Department of Art and Design Art 3930 CRN: 12660 Location: Building 45, Room 1603 Spring 2017 Tues/Thurs, 6:00pm-8:45pm

Instructor: Sarah McDermott Office Hours: Mondays 3-5:30, Fridays 2:00-4:30pm Office: Building 45, 2707 Email: s.mcdermott@unf.edu

Course Description: In this course you will be introduced to the materials, concepts and processes of making artist's books by hand. While you will be learning a great many new techniques and approaches, you will also be integrating printmaking techniques that you already have experience with (namely: screenprint, litho, transfers, relief), combining structure and content.

For the first part of the course you will be working primarily on book structures, with the main emphasis on craft, while we simultaneously read about and look at artist's books. In the second part of the class you will be working to integrate printmaking with book structure to make original artist's books, primarily in one mid semester project and one final project. The focus for content in this course will be on image making, however we will also touch on integrating text.

We will start by reaching into the history of the book and of the artist's book, and will discuss throughout the course some of the emerging theory related to this relatively new art form. Two visiting artists and a field trip to the University of Florida Special Collections will widen our knowledge of artist's books and provide inspiration.

Course Requirements:

You are expected to fully participate in the life of this class as a group endeavor. That means: regular attendance, completion of projects and assignments on time, participation in class discussions and critiques, full attention to demos and a sense of studio etiquette.

Showing up and trying hard are a big part of this class. Your grade will be determined by: 1) Participation 2) Assignments

You will receive a participation grade for every class, out of 5 points, which includes: Preparation for class, focus during class, and promptness. Being late to class will drop your participation grade for the day by 2 points. Use of cell phones during class, anytime other than individual work time, will cause your participation grade to drop.

You are expected to work at least 6 hours a week outside of class time. You will be required to make more than one copy of each structure- repetition is an important part of building skill.

Please be prepared to avail yourself of open studio hours. Working on your book arts structures and projects outside of class time is essential to success in this course! Open studio hours this semester are: Monday         3pm-midnight Tuesday        9pm-midnight Wednesday   3pm-midnight Thursday       9pm-midnight Friday 2pm-6pm Saturday check Print Guild Facebook page Sunday check Print Guild Facebook page

Leading up to midterm and final projects we will have pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings during class to discuss your ideas and progress in the course.

Attendance Policy: Due to the complex, technical nature of book arts and printmaking, attendance is essential for this class and will affect your grade. Your overall grade will drop one letter for every three classes you miss. I do not distinguish between excused and unexcused absences, except in rare, documented emergency situations. Being absent also means a zero participation grade for the day. You are expected to stay for the duration of class, including work days, as working in proximity to your peers, seeing what they are working on, and being able to bounce ideas off of others are all useful things. Arriving more than 30 minutes late or leaving more than 30 minutes early will result in you being counted as absent for the day. Please note that I do not redo demos. If you miss a demo it is your responsibility to ask your fellow students for assistance in catching you up.  

Assignments: The class assignments will be divided between book structures (building your craft skills primarily) two long term projects (your art work in the class), and a few other assignments (see below):

Point values:

Book structures: Pamphlet variations: 50 points Long-stitch: 50 points Accordions: 50 points Ethiopian coptic: 50 points and/or Case binding: 50 points Project 1: 70 points Project 2: 70 points Reading assignments: 50 points UF Book analysis: 30 points

Total assignment points: 470 Studio Etiquette: 20 points Participation: 145 (5 points per class) Total: 635

At the end of the semester I will add up all your points and divide by the total possible. This will give a percentage that will then be converted into a letter grade (factoring in any absences).

Grading criteria: Book structures will be graded for structural soundness as well as design sensibility (choice of materials, use of materials, etc) Your two individual artist's books projects will be graded based on technical (craftsmanship), formal (composition, design, impact) and conceptual (the ideas behind your work and how you communicate them) components. You may also get extra points based on adventurousness, boundary pushing, dramatic improvement from your previous work, overall aesthetic excellence.  

Late work will be marked down 5 points per class period (about one letter grade down).

Cell phone policy: Cellphones may be used in the classroom in a courteous and non-disruptive manner. During class work time you may use your cell phone and the internet to assist with your work. During announcements, demos, critiques and discussions – you may not use your cell phone. If you use your cell phone during these times you will get a zero participation grade for the day. Continued disrespectful cell phone use may result in me asking you to leave class and you will be marked absent for the day.  

Extra credit: I have a list of recommended articles about artist's books, beyond the ones you will be reading in class. You can borrow a book from me, xerox the article and write a response (TBD) for a possible 15 points if you would like to bring your grade up.

Shop Safety and Cleanliness: You will be working in a shared studio. It is important that you respect the equipment and others working in the studio. Always allow enough time for thorough clean up. This includes: no tiny scraps of paper anywhere, no ink anywhere, all tools put away, all trash/recycling disposed of, and your work safely in your drawer. Failure to clean up after yourself can result in a loss of shop privileges and will affect the "Studio Etiquette" portion of your grade. If you ever have a question about proper usage of studio equipment, do not hesitate to ask me, a monitor or other instructor before using.

A Note on Collaboration: Printmaking and the book arts are inherently collaborative media. Having your peers assist you as you pull a print through the press, getting their opinions on aesthetic choices (mixing colors, etc.) and/or getting technical advice is all acceptable collaboration. Unless you have proposed a collaborative project and received approval from the instructor, all projects in this class are individual student projects. This means each individual student does their own binding, pulls their own prints, draws their own sketches, makes their own matrices, etc.

Supplies: The UNF printmaking program provides paper for use in book structure assignments, as well as consumables used in binding (glue, paste, thread, etc).

You will need to plan on buying materials for your individual projects in consultation with me.

You will need to buy the following tools/supplies right away, before the second week of class: (all should be available at both Ponta Vedra Arts and Crafts and Reddi-Arts). Reddi- Arts also has a kit if you would like to buy everything at once: http://www.reddiarts.com/art-kits/mcdermott-book-arts

Bone folder Olfa knife (with snap-off blades) Small cutting mat (recommended) Awl Needles Glue brush Newsprint pad 50 sheets 18 x 24 (for common stock) A good metal ruler if you don't have one already (flat to the table, not cork backed) Folder or 3 ring binder to keep your handouts. Glue brush

You will also need to plan on buying Canson Mi-Teintes paper, binder's board and book cloth (we will discuss this further in class) by around the second month of class.
