if you keep breeding dogs that can't tolerate a generally well-tolerated vaccination, that doesn't reduce my confidence in the vaccine; it reduces my confidence in your breeding. if your breed does work that makes the vaccination more important, like a field dog, I would argue that you aren't effectively breeding for purpose.

my partner referred to my dog's vulva as "her little eeby" and I don't know why because they're not on tumblr, but it doesn't bode well for her breeding prospects

🔥 cats, the animal not the musical (e.g. pure breeds, coat colors/patterns, etc)
For the musical - Tswift is sooo sexy as high heels bombalurina and the macavity scene in the movie was well-executed this is a joke please don't put me in bad opinion jail
Ahfkldkf for actual cats - first of all about breeds: I definitely support adopt don't shop, but I don't think all purebred cats are unethical 🥺 Granted, this is probably biased because of the kinds of cats I grew up with lol, but I think it can be a nice way of making sure the cats were raised ethically (purebred cats are considered Valuable so there are breeders out there who take their job Very Seriously) and getting a specific kind of cat if you want.
I think things can be a bit iffy when it comes to purebred cats that are very furry and can't clean themselves without a lot of help from humans 😭 That's why I've never particularly liked Persians. Also I randomly think ragdolls are quite overhyped even though I find them kinda cute 😂 My favourite kind of cat, in addition to the kinds we had when I was growing up, is probably the Norwegian forest cat... which, a bit contradictingly, is also a pretty long-haired cat. I also like breeds with shorter fur though, one of my favourite things to do with the (not purebred, short-haired) cats I catsit regularly is to bury my entire nose in their soft silky fur ahdkkd 😭😂
For colors - ahh I don't really see the appeal of orange cats the same many people do!! They're still cute obvs. I really like black cats, blue cats (so fancy and aristocratic 😌), tuxedos and brown tabbies 😍😍😍

I have a puppy. She is a Labrador Retriever from a breeder. We will train and compete with her. If she proves sound and successful, she will have 2 to 3 litters before she is retired. If she turns out to love the work, I will continue taking her to competitions. If she is more suited to work other than that I've planned for her, I will train and prove her in that discipline instead. If she shows traits that should not be continued, she will not be used for breeding. Other than training, breeding, and whelping, she will remain in my home.
Ask box is open.

Looks like this opinion might be less unpopular than i thought
choose a pet that fits your life, or you will change your life to fit your pet
I'll use an example that has come up repeatedly in my career:
A retriever wants to find a thing of value by sight, then scent, then put that thing in their mouth. If they like you really well, they want to come show it to you. Delivering a retrieved object to hand is a specific trained behavior.
A retriever might be right for you if:
you intend to train them to deliver items to you
you intend to spend hours every week performing retrieving exercise (hunt trials, hunting, fetch, hide and seek)
you can provide care and protection for a medium to large dog (~40-80 lb, 20-40 kg, yes I know those aren't exactly equivalent)
if you do not provide accommodation for these traits, accommodation will be provided to you in the form of:
replacing stolen and destroyed items they never learned to release
paying for surgical removal of foreign objects in the gastrointestinal tract
knee implants, NSAIDs, therapeutic laser, anxiety drugs, sedatives for arthritis and ligament injuries and related recovery
hand, wrist, and shoulder braces after leash related handler injuries
new furniture, window dressings, and carpets to replace those that fall victim to "I could swim across a marsh at 04:00" energy
every breed, every individual has unique needs and concerns. Know what concerns could affect a dog, and pick the ones you can live with.
I think it's so funny how we bred JOBS into dogs. I have two shih tzus and they were bred to be lap dogs. All they care about is looking cute and cuddling with people. Meanwhile my grandma has a border collie and that dog needs to feel so useful all the time, he acts like he will pass away if he doesn't have a job to do constantly

FR Skin Contests and You (and Me)
Let’s talk about festival skin contests.
This post will be 1) about win conditions 2) my breakdown on my wins/losses. Before we start, please know a lot of this is guesswork, and based on my own perspective. Still, I hope this will be useful for some people ^^
***August/888 and I (but August mostly as it’s his idea) will be hosting an event encouraging new artists to join festival contests on 8/8. It will have a lot of tips and references to help get you started, so please keep an eye out! 
-
When it comes to skin contests, people generally enter for one of three reasons: 1) for fun 2) because it’s seen as a milestone of skinmaking, or 3) out of a desire to push yourself to the limit knowing you’ll regret it like a Sunday hangover– but I hope that’s just me.
In my two years of participating in skin contests, I’ve seen a lot of artists join with a lot of excitement, only to give up or drop out because they aren’t winning. Some blame it on skill, others blame it on the staff, and some blame it on fellow competitors. 
Here’s what I will say: like any contest, winning the festival skin contest is based on a combination of luck, knowledge, and skill. Just like any contest, there is a strategy to it and there are win conditions that you have to fulfill if you want a chance at winning. Some artists find these win conditions quickly and are able to adapt and cultivate the skill needed to pull off a win. Some are aware of these win conditions but do not yet have the skill to pull off a win. And some aren’t aware at all. A loss is usually (but not always) a result of not fulfilling those win conditions, or not fulfilling them as much as another artist. 
So, let’s talk about these win conditions.
The Biggest Win Condition: Breed Variety
In my opinion, the biggest factor that makes or breaks an entry is breed variety. Over the past ten years, there's been a consistent trend of staff picking one winner per breed/pose, though there are occasional outliers (most recently, two Aether M for Brightshine, but previously also Undertide M and Spiral M). This means whenever you submit a skin, you’re competing against artists that also submitted the same breed/pose. 
For those who aren’t aware, breed variety has been dropping in contests, along with the number of submissions. The result is that there are very few submissions for less popular breeds. Take a look at Brightshine 2023 - the majority of the submissions were Aethers. But even if there ended up being three Aether wins, that meant none of the other Aether skins made it in. 
I want to explain this with numbers. Say Aethers (M&F) made up 60% of the Brightshine 2023 submissions but could only make it into 2 or 3/16 of the winning slots. That’s 60% of the submissions eliminated from making it into the remaining 13/16 slots. Where would the other 13/16 skins come from, if staff were to stick to their trend of 1 breed/pose skin per festival? The flight breeds - Imp and PC might take up 4 more slots. But that’s still 9/16 slots that need winners and only 30% of the submissions to pick from. Additionally, ancients will generally make up at least 40% of the winning submissions, if not 50%. That’s why having 100 submissions might mean there aren’t a lot of winners the staff could pick, and why there weren’t any Fae skins for Starfall 2022 or Spiral M skins for Mistral 2023. 
I tested this theory with F Ridgeback submissions. I mainly focused on three breed/poses that I saw as the least submitted - F Noc, F Bog, and F Ridgeback. I went with Ridgeback because it was the base I liked the most. The result? Out of the 22 contests I’ve entered, I won 5 with F Ridgeback. That’s a 25% win rate with one breed/pose alone. If we factor in wins I’ve had with these three poses combined, that’s 8 wins or a 36% win rate.
Drawing on an unpopular breed/pose is a good way to make sure you don’t have too many competitors (and also show some of the more unpopular breeds some love). This is particularly true if you’re a newer artist like I was. I started doing art in June 2021, so I knew there was no chance I could outcompete better artists on the same breed/pose. 
Of course, choosing the right breed will not always net you a win - you still need good skin composition and skills to catch the staff’s attention, which is what we’re going to talk about next.
Statutory Win Conditions: Flight Themes & Colors
When it comes to making a skin for a festival contest, I always recommend people look at the apparel, lore, and familiars for that flight, because these items are usually the closest to what’s canonically considered a flight’s aesthetic. A lot of the entries I’ve seen win are based off of the fest fams or match a fest apparel.
There are exceptions. The game aspect of the Lightning Flight isn’t canon, but we’ve had hivemind and gaming skins win. Why? Maybe that contest only had a total of 12-15 breed/poses submitted, maybe it was just the best executed skin for that breed/pose, maybe a staff member just really liked it. However, generally winners will match the flight’s canon aesthetic.
The trend of skin contest winners also suggest a favoring of elements that are placed on the dragon’s wings and head (leaves, vines, fairy/insect wings, gears), or accent/tattoo-like effects that involve gradient, sparkles, or abstract smoke (see 888’s 2023 brightshine win). Skin compositions that are balanced (elements throughout the body, as opposed to just one part of the body) see a higher win rate. Skins that have lower accent coverage tend to see higher win rates when they’re gradients/accents (linings on the dragon, runic/circuit effects) or when they’re concentrated on an easily noticeable/central part of the body (like the wings, or the dragon’s back).
In the end, knowing what to draw really comes down to research and knowledge. Before each contest I would review all the past winning entries and try to glean what staff did or didn’t pick. I noticed that staff didn’t tend to pick whiteout or body morph skins, and they tend to pick skins with higher coverage. I also checked past festival winners to see the color theme for each contest. There are some contests during which colors that aren’t necessarily the flight’s colors are still picked, and there are contests that haven’t seen a festival skin which didn’t match the flight’s colors. Like any contest, there’s always going to be a small bit of luck involved.
Ultimately, while I can’t speak for the staff, I do think there are win conditions that need to be fulfilled. You need to have a basic level of art skill. You need knowledge on skin composition and colors. Then, of course, you need to know which breed/pose to choose.
-
I hope my analysis helps a little when you’re entering your next contest, or that it made for an interesting read. If you just came here for general tips and tricks, that’s all I have for you - you can also scroll all the way down to see my final thoughts on contests. But generally, just keep trying different things, doing your research, and making sure you’re sticking to the flight theme.
For people who want it, here’s my breakdown on each series of contests that I’ve entered, and reasons why I think I won or lost. 
-
Personal Analysis - Brightshine 2021-Brightshine 2023
I’m a very competitive person and more importantly, I love to compete. So the moment I found myself capable of making skins, festivals were on my radar. I studied what previous artists did, what techniques and designs seem to win the most. What skills did I need and what skins caught the judges' eyes? More importantly, what bases did I feel confident with and could perform the best on? As soon as I felt like I understood the contest, I entered Brightshine 2021 with about 2 weeks’ worth of art experience.
Then I proceeded to lose four contests in a row.
So, what happened?
Brightshine 2021 (loss)
Tumblr media
Sometimes unearthing your old art is like watching an old video of yourself in your cringey teenager phase. But knowing why you lost is important in understanding how you can win (and what to absolutely not do again).
For Brightshine 2021, I submitted a Guard F design with two recolors. At the time I only had the skill to draw lanterns and filigree, so I went “that’s Light enough” and did exactly that. Although I would say my theme was (kind of) on point, it was my execution that was lacking:
Issue No. 1: Colors. In review of previous Light winners there’s a umber/gold palette or gold/sunlight palette that appears to be the meta. There have also been cases of red or purple winning even though they aren’t used in official Light items, and some rainbow entries. While one of my recolors followed this scheme, it fell short because–
Issue No. 2: Composition. Skin composition is the balance of elements and how well each element pulls their weight in a piece of art. In my Brightshine 2021 entry, most of the base was left bare. Artists like August are really good at skin comp where their entire piece looks tied together; mine was far from that.
Issue No. 3: Quality. If you compare my Brightshine 2021 submission to my 2023 one, you’ll see what I mean. My art style relies on rendering, or applying lighting and shadows, to bring out each element. Basically I need rendering in order to win. This isn’t necessarily a requirement for you; some artists do lineless, others do painterly, and others don’t render at all, but overall the art style should have a specific level of quality that rendering brought out in my art.
In short: wrong colors, bad lineart, skill issue, no skin comp - overall it was a piece of art not even its creator could love. (I tossed the psd in the recycling bin and hit delete. Except looking in the database now apparently I printed it, so now I have to live with the shame of its existence.)
There is one takeaway that I got. By the time the contest ended there were no other Guard F entries. I realized then that had my art been better, with the breed/pose’s lack of competition, I could’ve had a shot at winning the contest. 
Thundercrack 2021 (loss)
Tumblr media
Alright, 2021 Myth thinks, I’ve learned my lesson from Brightshine. The skin composition was not good. That means I should put more stuff on the base and I’m sure to win!
Have you ever just looked in the mirror and realized you, yes you, are the most punchable thing in the world?
In all fairness, the skin comp of my TCC entry did improve. Like Brightshine, I did a single design with two recolors on an unpopular breed. Improvements I made: additional elements to the skin aside from the one big element on the wing, and a color palette that matched the flight. Of course, I wished my theme of hivemind/code also matched the flight aesthetic, but just like my love life, the only thing my submission matched with was loss and disappointment.  
Issue No. 1: Design. Upon reviewing past winners, very few featured fake apparel or clothing. As mentioned previously, staff do not appear to favor whiteout or body morph skins, and prefer elements that adhere to the dragon (like wings) or add to the dragon (like bones/feathers).
Issue No 2: Technology. For my entry, the circuit patterning on the wings did not take resizing well. I drew this on a 750x750 canvas and the resizing blended the many circuit lines into a single line. This isn’t a program issue. It was a lack of understanding of how resizing works.
Issue No 3: And we’re still here with my biggest problem: skill issue. Art is not a skill you learn in two months. I did learn to render, but not well enough. I wasn’t good enough. Yet. 
Starfall 2021 (loss)
Tumblr media
So… fun fact! During all of this I was writing my thesis. As in, I was writing my thesis after not writing my thesis for a year. It was stressful. I don’t have much to say about this contest because I did this skin as a meme for the sole reason that somewhere in my 3 am sleep deprived brain I thought “Emergency Portal-col” was hilarious.
I did not expect to win and I didn’t. Still, I did notice more and more that certain breeds just weren’t submitted for contests. Ridgeback F, I noticed, had anywhere from 0 to 1 submission for each contest while M pose generally had 0. Same for Nocturnes. 
Riot of Rot 2021 (loss)
Tumblr media
By this time, 2021 Myth had given up on the “one big element + some other accessories” idea. It hadn’t worked for Light or Lightning and it wasn’t going to work. So I thought, what if I just went for the accessory elements? My ROR skin featured the spider lily, smoke, and sparkles. I also started experimenting with dark gradients on the limbs of the dragon, which I’d noticed in winning fest entries.
Gradients and sparkles help with skin composition. Especially if you’re a newer artist who can’t pull off more complicated effects. Oftentimes a skin looks empty in certain parts, but adding elements to those parts would make things look messier. That’s where gradients/sparkles come in. However, I lost because:
Issue No 1: Composition again. While my elements tied together well, I had no main attraction other than the empty void that was the center of the Ridgeback wing. I essentially did a background scene and didn’t add a main character for it. This made me think that maybe my “one big element” skin comp idea was still worth a shot, but I needed a different take.
Issue No 2: Aaaand skill issue again.I was still bad at rendering, and sometimes skill is just why you lose. Not because you don’t have good ideas or because your execution was bad, but because you do not yet have the skills to defeat your competitors. You can do a really good looking skin, but if someone else in the contest did an even better looking skin on the breed/pose, then you’re not going to win.
Gala 2021 (win)
Tumblr media
Losing four times in a row was pretty discouraging. But here’s another important element to skin contests: consistency. The frequency of your submissions should result in a win so long as you fulfill all of the other win conditions such as good composition, understanding of the theme, and the basic level of art skill required to win. 
For the Gala, I realized that wings would be the best big element to put on a base while tying in all of the other elements. This is probably the most complicated skin I’d worked on at that time. But because I’d learned minimal rendering, because my skin composition was actually good, and there was no competition for Ridgeback F, I won. For the very first time.
Trickmurk 2021 - Starfall 2022 (6 wins 2 losses - 12 skin designs submitted total)
Tumblr media
Here, I’d found my strategy. As long as I kept to the theme and made sure my skin comp and rendering was good, I would win. Especially because I had no competition. Again, breed variety is a huge issue in skin contests, because people - particularly the really skilled artists - are more likely to go for a breed that they like or is popular. As a newer artist, I was well aware that there was a 100% chance I’d lose if I tried to fight anyone for the same breed/pose. (And part of knowing the win conditions is also knowing artists you definitely are not winning against.) 
3/6 of my wins during this time was F Ridgeback. The others were: F Coatl, which had no competition during Trickmurk, and F Nocturne, which had no competition during Wind and Arcane’s fests (but competed against my will to live because this is a terrible base to work on).
But relying on unpopular breed advantage was about as reliable as internet connection in a college dorm. 3/6 of my wins were ridgeback but that meant all of my losses were also ridgeback. On top of that, the number of Ridgeback submissions peaked at one point to 5-6. I was still winning, because I had the skill to beat my competitors. But I had to up my game. My skins had to be more elaborate, closer to the theme. I began submitting two designs per competition, which was… going to be a problem for me later.
The idea behind submitting two designs per competition is simple. Instead of just relying on one unpopular breed/pose to net you the win, now you have two shots at winning. 
My goal that I’d made during this time was to either win 11 in a row or to win once for each holiday. This was to keep my motivation. Keep in mind I was also writing my thesis, so I really needed a goal to go towards, especially when I committed to doing two designs per contest. 
(I defended my thesis successfully in May 2022 and graduated with high honors!)
ROR 2022 - Brightshine 2023 (7 wins 1 loss - 16 skin designs submitted total)
Tumblr media
Here’s where I found another niche in the skin contests. Flight-breeds. These are breeds that belong to each element and surprisingly - they don’t actually get that many submissions. Seeing Starfall 2022’s skin turnout as an Arcanite was tough. When it came to reviewing Starfall 2022, anyone would’ve won as long as they submitted a good quality Fae skin that didn’t break the rules or stray too far from the theme and had a skin composition that the staff liked. 
I decided to put my theory to the test with Earth, Ice, Wind, Water, and Nature. Are you surprised there were only three Snap F submissions for Earth, one Tun M for Ice, two SDM for Wind, and something like two Undertide F entries for Water? I was. Especially with Undertides because the breed had been released only five months ago. By noticing the flight-breed meta, and having the time, skill, and experience to make skins for those breeds that fit the criteria, I was able to win.
At this time I started straying away from my “one big element + smaller accessories” composition. My art had gotten better so I was able to expand my designs. Wavecrest 2023 was the biggest show of that, and I’m really proud of my entries for that contest. It was essentially a turning point in my art style… but it did take a lot more time and effort. From that point on, my skins were hitting 90+ layers and taking me at least two weeks to draw.
The last skin contest I entered with that art style was Brightshine 2023. By the time the contest ended, I was pretty sure winning would take a miracle or a relationship with god that I did not have. The competition for Imp M was difficult, and I was pitting my submission against artists who had far more experience and skill. I had some hope for my Ridge F entry, but again, relying on unpopular breed advantage is, well. Not reliable. 
I lost. It was crushing, because not only did that mean I lost Brightshine three years in a row, Brightshine was the last contest I needed to win to fulfill either one of my goals: winning 11 in a row or win once for each elemental holiday. However, losses happen and it sucks, but it’s not the end of the world. I simply lost to a much better artist, and I am okay with that. 
Final Thoughts
Heart-to-heart time. 
I know some people become discouraged because they don’t think they have the skill, or they compare themselves to other artists. I felt discouraged for the same reason. After losing so many contests in 2021, I thought I would never improve. I would never be as good as artists that started long before me, or even some that started after me but learned so much faster. 
I still think that’s true. I have a long way to go and I may never catch up to these other artists. But here’s the thing about art: it’s a skill that constantly evolves and you cannot see that evolution unless you keep trying. And you need to keep trying if you want to win, because you aren’t going to without reaching the right skill level. 
The hardest truth about competitions is that you can’t expect to win just because you tried. If everyone could win just by participating – that contest isn’t worth winning. There are no stakes so there is no value. But when you put in a lot of effort and time, and you win? That win is something that will stay with you. That is a worthwhile win - because it was hard and because you lost so many times.
Sure, the staff could let everyone who enters win. Maybe winners should be judged solely on participation. Maybe that would make more people happy. But would you really be happy to win, knowing there’s no chance of losing? At that point, would being a festival contest winner mean anything?
In the end, a contest is supposed to be fun. Throw everything I’ve said out the window if that’s made contests un-fun for you. Most, MOST importantly, you should join the competition because you enjoy it. If you’re joining just to win, and you take losses very hard, and participation becomes a chore - then that is never going to be worth the toll on your mental health.
Take it from someone who took it too seriously. Drawing two skin designs monthly was taxing (remember it was taking me at least 2 weeks per design), and by Nature 2023 I had severe burnout. When Brightshine rolled around, I sat down for 11 hours to finish my Imp entry, because I knew I wouldn’t have time for art later. By the time I finished, I was running on about five hours of sleep and a very unhealthy attachment to caffeine. 
Then, three days before Brightshine, I was diagnosed with tendonitis. 
I started feeling discomfort in my arms/wrist since March, hence why I stopped releasing public skins. But this is effectively the worst arm related injury I’ve had, and while drawing is not the main cause, doing so for 11 hours straight didn’t help. My left arm has minor pain. My right arm is swollen and in a brace. This could’ve been avoided by taking breaks and doing exercises. But the lack of proper precaution led to injury. (And yes, I drew my Bogsneak TCC 2023 entry with a mouse for this reason. I could not use my tablet pen so… circle and line tool it was. But I had fun ^^)
I hope my analysis of the contests will be of some use to you. But please do not hurt yourself, mentally or physically, in competing. UMA artists make around 3kg per run of skin, so if you are entering contests for the prize, that’s not the best use of your time and energy. When it comes down to it, you are going to be doing free art for the site, and that is never worth injuring yourself for.
As a final note, thank you to the FR staff for allowing artists to participate in the site. My art experience is purely derived from skins and contests have encouraged me to improve myself. Thank you also to my friends who cheered me on along the way, the many wonderful artists who gave me tips on line weight, coloring, and rendering. And of course, many thanks to August for being the best cheerleader I could have. I would not have made it to Brightshine without him as a competitor and fellow artist. 
(However nothing you do will make me like Gaolers and that is a hill I will die on.)
Happy almost-Flameforger’s everyone! Here’s to the next fest cycle.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I don't think non-herding breeds should be allowed to take herding tests.

perhaps an unpopular opinion, but "noble born and raised Ursa who chose to marry Ozai" is much more interesting than "farmgirl Ursa basically kidnapped to be breeding stock for powerful firebenders".

Gene Tech is not your enemy
Tumblr media
Let me throw one unpopular opinion at you: Gene Tech is actually not a bad. Genetically modified crops and what not are not bad and no, they will probably not give you cancer or anything of the like. In fact, if we want to save the planet and what not, we should totally embrace gene tech and gene editing.
With that I do not mean: "Edit human genes." Which is something that on one hand would be interesting and could have great promise, but on the other hand... would probably make the world so much world and lead to all sorts of eugenics.
No, I am talking first and foremost about editing the genes of some plants and maybe some insects.
See, I live in Germany, where a lot of GMO food is actually outlawed, which I find not good. Now, let me make one thing clear: Nobody should be able to copyright the genum of a crop. So fuck the hell off, Monsanto!
But gene editing can help us overcome many problems.
For once, we just have to face the facts: Climate is changing right now. It is changing and it creates bad harvests in many areas of the earth, because the crops are not adjusted for the new climate. In some areas it suddenly is too wet, in others it is too dry.
Humans have always edited the genes of plants and animals, of course. Just that we did it the very slow way by selective breeding them. Without selective breeding a wolf does not turn into a poodle.
Our ability to directly edit the genum of crops now allows us to quickly adust to the changing climate. Which might save a lot of people, if we allow it.
But apart from that, we can also do other things by gene editing.
We might be able to create plants, that are much better at storing CO2, than they would normally be. We are in fact able to create bacteria and algea, that eat micro plastics. We might in general be able to create bacteria able to dissolve garbage. We might be able to sustain plant species that otherwise might perish due to climate change.
And there might actually be some other things. See, we could maybe extinguish maleria thanks to gene tech. And we might be able to fight invasive species through it.
A lot of people in the conservation movement will be like "No, we should not mess with nature". But the thing is, that we already are messing with it.
Gene tech can help us to actually fix some of the problems we caused.
Again: Fucking Monsanto should not be allowed to copyright crops they created like this. But just because they are using it this way, does not mean, that the technology itself is horrible.
Opposing it just... does not get us anywhere.

@indiewritesxoxo asked me who I thought would have the most kids out of Gojo Geto or Choso. So now I’m fangirling while thinking about our JJK boys being daddies. (I DONT EVEN WANT TO HAVE KIDS BUT ITS ROTTING MY BRAIN)
Unpopular opinion, Choso wouldn’t want to have a lot of kids. Hear me out!!! I see people make him have 8+ kids but this man would be more stressed out about you in labor than you are. He’d be saying dramatic things like we are never having sex again while you’re in pain because he can’t believe he put you through this. During pregnancy Choso would be like a cat and want to rest his head on your belly 24/7 in case the baby moves. Anytime you suffer from morning sickness or backaches he would feel so guilty and bend over backwards to get anything you wanted. I’m thinking two or three babies and he’d be perfectly happy. He’d want to spend all his time doting on them and you so the more there are the harder it would be especially if he works full time.
Geto as a dad/husband would adore his wife and babies but he would get a little jealous if you didn’t have time to dote on him as much. One or two on top of Mimiko and Nanako would be perfect. I could even see him being okay with not having any children in addition to any he adopts. He could easily be the man that thinks there are too many unloved kids out there and depending on your opinion choose to not have bio kids. If you did have kids he would want to keep you very protected and borderline isolated just to make sure you weren’t in danger. You can have guests over but if you want to go out he wants to go too. Ofc if you felt strongly about it he will hear you out.
Gojo would be the one with the most kids in my mind. I could easily see him wanting 3-5. This man is a teacher and is so good to his students of course he wants a brood of his own. He loves being a caretaker and I know this man has a breeding kink. He probably thinks you’re incredibly sexy when pregnant and wants to show you off everywhere. He would definitely track your fertility on a phone app. He’d be an amazing dad and all his kids would be in sports or extracurriculars and he would love being the chauffeur. He’d definitely retire early just to enjoy the chaos.

The word "selfie" is the second worst thing to come out of Australia, after labradoodles
there used to be a time where if you asked an american for "a blowie" they wouldn't give a fuck because they found your australian accent so irresistable. but now they have to question fucking everything. "why is a blowjob called a blowie". "why is a picture of yourself called a selfie". "why is a barbecue called a barbie" like these arent the most dumb fucking questions imaginable. VAMOOSE

SPEAK INTO THE MIC ‼️‼️the audience (me) wants g!p wonyoung thoughts 🎤🎤🎤
my babycakes ♡♡♡ i miss her sm,, i think i went overboard with this I LOVE MY DUMB LITTLE WONY I'M SORRY .
oh she's big i just know she is... ANYWAY—
wony is both confident and weirdly shy abt her dick 😭😭 idk how to explain it, she'll boast to her unnies abt her size but then blush and go silent whenever you're around to confirm that yes, your girlfriend has a massive dick and you love it. baby gets so shy and hugs you so she could hide her face,,, but all that ends up happening is you groping her dick from underneath her skirt and laughing at the way she gets weak under your touch,, she's whining, calling you a perv but she can't tell you to stop :(( she can't help but buck her hips into your hand whenever you're jerking her off, it feels too good to be touched by you :((
sub top wony?? sub top wony!!! SHDBJSK SHE'S JUST A BABY WHO WANTS TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD NO MATTER WHAT :( like she's splitting your pussy open with her cock but she's the one moaning the loudest 😭 gets so emotional too 😔 saying "i love you" too many times,, hugs you when you're riding her, is nearly pushed to tears every time she comes bcs it feels so good for her to dump her load inside your warm cunt!!! definitely has a breeding kink bcs she's addicted, literally, to coming inside you </3 she's going to look tired and exhausted but she's still going to thrust into you, forcing orgasm after orgasm out of herself to fill you up nice and full of her cum 😵‍💫😵‍💫 it's a never ending loop too bcs she sees her cum leak out of your holes and she gets soooo hard and does it all over again 😭
unpopular opinion and totally self-indulgent but wony's totally a handjob kind of girl djfbfkdkf she likes the focused look on your face when you're jerking her off with both of your hands,, it gets messy real quick bcs you're spreading her precum all over her length so you can move your hands faster and smoother, and she's falling apart but trying her hardest to keep holding on bcs she wants to cum lots,,,, and something just breaks in her when you plant a soft kiss on her tip to tease her and she comes all over your hands 🫣🫠🫠
omg her face gets soooo red when you lick your fingers clean of her cum while keeping eye contact and not at all surprisingly, she's hard again . she cannot just get enough of you she loves you smmm :((
despite really liking handjob, wony's not at all against oral!! in fact, she likes it just as much 😵‍💫 you just finished making her come w your hands,, but now you wanna use your mouth bcs you want her cum down your throat :( but she's literally a bit too big for you to take so it takes time for you to get all of her length inside your mouth 😔 usually things are all fine and dandy whenever you go slow and prioritize your comfort when sucking her off.. but when your nose finally hits wonyoung's pelvis, something just awakens inside her??? :( like suddenly she's grabbing your head, moving your mouth up and down her cock on her own at an insane pace, barely letting you breathe,,, you're choking n gagging but she doesn't care???
ngl you did like this side of wony... so you let her do it 😵‍💫 she's using your mouth like a fleshlight, moving like she has never fucked you before, gripping and pulling at your hair when you run your tongue over her slit, moaning so loud when you suck on her tip you drive her into insanity 🤤🤤🤤 but it wasn't the wya your throat clenched around her cock that made her come... it was the sight of you touching yourself while she used your mouth :(( and before you knew it, wony's warm cum was trickling down your throat,, and she's keeping your head still so you can swallow every single drop :(((
we've established that she never gets enough of you, yes??? so it's no surprise to you when wony pulls you up to your feet and makes you sit on her cock, now promising to fuck you full of her cum over and over again until who knows what time 😳😳😳

I'm horny so I'm writing about my thoughts.
warnings: nsfw, fem reader, mdni, blowjobs, sex in different positions, some size kinks, nipple play, possible breeding, man handling if u squint
words: idk I didn't count but it's a lot
ft:: yuji, kuroo, bokuto, and sukuna
Yuji Itadori🐅
He's been brain rotting for a while and it's annoying how much I think about him, but I love him too much to make him move out.
I love thinking about how heavy his cock must get when he's hard, and ready to come. It'd probably tilt with a thick vein pulsing along the underside so it makes him × 10 more sensitive when you suck him off. He's probably not super long like kuroo would be, but he'd definitely be on the thicker side.
I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be ashamed about being average, but I'm drooling over that stretch baby boy dw 🤤💞
He'd definitely taste.. interesting. I don't see him tasting super sweet like gojo or something, I see him tasting like a savory meal if that makes any sense?
Something like a meal you'd never want to forget or finish early. If yk what I mean, ty. 🙏
He'd definitely try and be gentle during sex and hand/blowjobs. Yuji knows he's a strong boy so being careful of his grip and thrusts is something he has anxiety about often. When he's close though, he'll be in cloud nine and forget what he's doing.
Bucking his hips while his thighs tense and practically vibrate as his climax nears. Praising him is such a great way to tell him "I'm okay" even though his cum's covering your face and lips.
Different positions he loves: doggy, reverse cowgirl, and missionary
While Yuji does think that your sex life needs lots of spice, he's really willing to do whatever it takes to make you cum! He loves the simple things, but watching you masturbate in front of him gets him drooling and hard.
Kuroo Tetsuro🐈‍⬛
He definitely makes me want to scream daddy at the top of my lungs but then want to cuddle him and kiss his forehead for hours while reading my favorite book or watching a horror movie.
Daddy? I'm sorry. Daddy? I'm sorry.
I get the vibe from kuroo that he lives to eat pussy to relieve his own stress.
Work getting too much? Eat pussy. Staying up too late fucking? Eat pussy + the cream pie. He'd like a girl that'd know how to edge and tease him, even though he'd flat out deny this.
He'd feel hot and heavy over constant teasing remarks or suggestive compliments. Offering a massage during a game would also make him want to kiss you and cuddle you for hours.
Kuroo loves spice.
He'll bring in some kind of toy like a vibrator or ask to fuck on the couch instead of in the bedroom.
(I wouldn't doubt he'd try role-playing.)
Kuroo's just above average with a slimmer cock, but it's big no matter how you put it. He's probably not a sweets guy, but I'd end up making him something like strawberries to make him taste like candy.
Kuroo himself probably tastes like bokuto and yuji since all of them are incredibly athletic and active in their daily lives. He's not ashamed of himself either and probably grooms regularly to keep it "presentable."
Positions and places he adores: the hook, standing doggy, anything that involves a counter
He'd probably try doing role plays that involve his job or his past. Like, volleyball coach fucks captain or something. He's a wildcard tho so I can't say for sure 😃
Bokuto Kōtaru🦉
A owl man that's energy is so contagious and sexy I'd like to eat his ass like a fucking meal— he's the obsession, he's the moment, he's a himbo sweetheart.
Bokuto doesn't hate his ass or his massive man tits, but he doesn't like that they steal the show. We all know that his ass was stolen from a bakery and that those thighs are illegal.
This might, or might not, be an unpopular opinion BUT I would eat his ass any day. I love this man's body sm it's like a plus with his sweet and energetic personality.
He'd be so touchie when it comes to sex, and he probably has a cute nickname for it tbh. He knows that his thighs are a weakness so he'll use them to slick up your pussy and panties while he's busy playing with ur tits and neck.
"feel good baby? Like my tongue?"
Verbal, loud, fast, and rough.
Bokutos strength shines through when the bed's creaking, your ass is jiggling beautifully on his pelvis, and your screams are nothing short of gorgeous. Bokuto loves to use your tits and hips as his personal love handles.
Massive calloused palms that are rough to the touch but feel amazing rubbing and flicking at your nipples.
His moans r loud but so hot. He'll also chuckle in a low tone if you cum more than once around his cock in the first round. (I would, I have.)
Positions? Yes: doggy, missionary, against the wall, in his lap, mating press
His cock is a proud 8 with a thickness that makes u think he stole a muffin or two to feed it. Damn does that stretch hurt but it sounds really good in your pussy!!!
Sukuna Ryomen😈
A devil in life, a devil in the sheets. He'll break your back and break you in one sitting but torture you with his many tongues. It's funny to think about Sukuna being disappointed when he first reincarnates since he doesn't have those swoll coc—
Sukuna is so wild during sex it's like a ride of its own. I'm basing this more on how he is in the manga and anime rather than a romantic version. So, let's begin shall we? ^^
Lord Ryomen does love a little challenge even though it thoroughly annoys him. Having a woman that's fully submissive for him and only him but will get on his nerves regularly makes him want to make sure you know your place over and over.
What better way than to fuck you with his monster cock(s)?
The Vessel version of him is definitely rougher than the true form. True form is bigger, but has a little patience in my opinion. Vessel version has none and since he only has one, he'll make another just to punish you.
My own personal favorite part of Sukuna isn't the tattoos, surprise surprise! I love them fucking biceps and that face. Both true form and vessel.
Tracing my fingers along them as a past time yes, but I'll be holding onto those arms for dear life while burning his face into my brain. Seeing how his eyes will shine while forcing my pussy to accommodate him.
Positions or mild suggestions?: Anything that allows him to fuck your pussy(and asshole let's be honest), does enjoy a show so maybe cowgirl, cuddle fucking when he's lazy or tired
His cock(s) have a powerful taste seeing as he's a cursed spirit rather than a normal human. I doubt he'll taste any better than what it normally tastes like, but I'd still suck it like my life depends on it 😭
Sukuna doesn't have an official size in his vessel for seeing as he can just change it to what he wants. But in true form, he is definitely over 8 inches and thicker than anything.
Take a Coke 2 liter bottle and imagine Sukuna's cocks. That's probably about accurate.
Tumblr media
Loved writing for my favorite boys, and I honestly loved imagining them. I'm tagging some ppl I think would enjoy this, but if you want to be removed for any reason pls lmk!!❤️

mtl in txt who would use the word daddy ? 😵‍💫
y’all are cooking with these mtl asks!!!!
cw // NSFW, MDNI! txt x fem!reader, switch!txt, daddy kink, lowkey ddlg vibes in kai’s but it was unintentional i swear, mommy kink and breeding kink mentions. tyun being a milf hunter like usual.
MOST TO LEAST LIKELY TO . . . HAVE A DADDY KINK !
MOST
yeonjun -> i will never shut up about how much this boy loves being called daddy. inside and outside of the bedroom he’s just crazy about it!! one “please, daddy?” and you have him wrapped around your finger omg he’d give you whatever you could possibly want !!
kai -> i KNOW this is an unpopular opinion but i don’t care kai loves being called daddy!!! he’s tired of being the baby and he loves to take care of his darling, takes a more soft dominant and nurturing role in the relationship.. he just gets all warm and gooey about it. definitely surprised him the first time you called him it tho, turned beet red with his eyes wide lol.. he had no idea he would like it as much as he did
beomgyu -> loves that mommy/daddy shit. loves calling u mommy, loves you calling him daddy, it’s mutual lmao. it’s the switch in him ^^ he wouldn’t like it outside of the bedroom though
soobin -> calling him daddy would make his brain melt out of his ears actually lmao i don’t think he’d be into it that much but would definitely like it in a breeding kink kind of way. like telling him you’re gonna make him a daddy he’d just combust on the spot
taehyun -> more of a sir guy lol! also likes older women and i think being called daddy would take him out of it a bit >< sub!tyun def rocking w the mommy kink though
LEAST
