After the show- a tyies drabble

Pairing: skk

CW: NSFW under the cut (MINORS DNI); semi-public sex, grinding, frottage, anal fingering, spit as lube, not edited cause I don't wanna.

There was always something about lingering adrenaline after a bull-ride. Almost all riders experience it. Most choose to blow off steam in the typical ways- hitting the bars to drink, shoot pool and maybe pick up an interested buckle bunny or two.

Before their little thing started, both him and Dazai followed suit. They still did sometimes but why bother when there were better options? It was always more intense for Chuuya, who had endless electric energy always kept at bay on a regular day.

That was how Dazai found himself in his situation, pressed flat against the inside of a janitor's closet door of the latest arena, a riled up Chuuya gently biting his under his jaw with a wolf's grin.

Dazai slips his thigh between the shorter's thighs for him to grind against. Chuuya was distracted for a second, clearly basking in finally getting friction on the half chub he had been sported for the last half hour. But with a goal in mind, he snaps out of it, pushing up on his toes to kiss him as he rushed to unbuckle Dazai's belt and pop the button of his jeans.

As soon as the final ceremony ended, Chuuya hadn't hesitated. Dazai didn't know when Chuuya set it up for the closet to already be unlocked as he yanked him through the doorway. They hadn't bothered showering. Both were covered in a thin sheen of sweat and a smear of dirt painted Chuuya's cheek. Chuuya smelled like a combination of earth, sweat and spicy musk that managed to still be appealing.

Dazai inhaled deep and squeezes Chuuya's lithe waist before sliding his own hands down to slip his fingers under Chuuya's own buckle, making quick work of unfastening his rivals pants. Just they had eachothers cocks out, Chuuya momentarily separated their lips, hocked a healthy amount of spit into his own palm before gripping them both. Dazai pushed his own hips forward into a delicious slide, groaning in the back of his throat. They moved in tandem, pressed tight against eachother and desperate in their own chase for pleasure.

Dazai slid his hands up the other's back to his hair. He gripped soft red locks between his fingers and firmly yanked.

Chuuya gave a gasping moan in response. Dazai took his opportunity to stick two fingers in his partner's open mouth. Even in the dark of the light, Dazai could see Chuuya's dual toned eyes flicked up to meet his own. Dazai had to bite his lip and resist letting his eyes roll back. Around his fingers Chuuya suckled running his tongue along the seam where the digits met. Simultaneously, Chuuya squeezed his hand around them tighter and pumped his hips faster.

Dazai's peak was hurdling closer. He had to pull one more trump card to make sure he wouldn't finish first. Slipping his fingers out of Chuuya's mouth, well coated in spit, he quickly moved his hand behind them under the other's jeans and boxers. He deftly circled his rim a few times before he breached one fingertip past.

"Mm, hah, fuck," Chuuya's moan grew as he broke away again to lean his head against the brunet's shoulder.

With how riled up the red head was, that's all it took for him to spill between them. He didn't bother pull away before continue pumping them, probably reveling in the overstimulation.

Bringing his other hand up, he cupped Dazai's jaw and purrs, "You win this one, Samu."

The gravelly quality in Chuuya's sexed-out voice was enough to make Dazai follow, stars dancing behind his eyes.

After catching his breath, all Dazai could said in reply is, "Heh, yippee."

Omega's never quite liked being called “pretty”

E-123 Omega on appearance/fashion based compliments hcs ✨

Related to him getting roped into "Say yes to the dress" at the girls night out

Omega really loves the phrase "to slay". When he finally put on the 1st dress he deemed adequate, his self-appointed fashion advisers erupted in a mix of squeals, "ooooh":s and "Slayyy~". It took Omega a second to recall the word's alternate use as a compliment, and when he did, he glued his lenses on the mirror to re-evaluate his appearance. - Conclusion; He is indeed "slaying✨".

Meanwhile, Omega's never quite liked being called “pretty”, a word Rouge throws around occasionally, but he doesn't care enough to let it bother him. Amy says one of the dresses on him is "super pretty", and he agrees; rejecting the dress promptly.

The word he does care about is "cute". He is not cute. Do not call him that.

"Handsome" is perfectly acceptable. Rouge regards most of her male acquaintances as such, so it's lost some of its complimentary meaning for Omega. "This one would look handsome on you", Blaze - with her different speaking conventions - uses the word more liberally, not tied to the same cultural conventions. Omega finds the addressed apparel equally unappealing -pretty- like most others, but he gives it 3.4 seconds more contemplation before throwing it aside. It is a fine word.

(Omega has not been called "fine" in the complimentary sense, so he hasn't got an opinion on it. It would probably fall in the similar category as the next:)

"Good lookin' " is yet another staple of Rouge's vocabulary and on a fairly equal footing as "handsome". It lacks gender specificity and has more flirtatious connotations which Omega responds neutrally towards. (He refuses to admit it took him an embarrassing while to figure out there's a difference between "good looking" and "looking good".)

Being regarded as "beautiful" for the first time made Omega trip mentally. He doesn't know how to take the compliment. He truly doesn't. Rouge said it offhandedly when he put on the 2nd acceptable dress by his standards, originally picked out by her: Rouge called him beautiful, not the dress. – The term is frustratingly commonplace, with everyone having their individual definition for the word: E.g. Omega himself finds "beauty" in methodic and effective destruction. Explosions can be beautiful. – But he knows that in this context it's more similar to "pretty". Which he doesn't care for. He wants to disregard it but he just got called beautiful for the first time and he doesn't know how to feel about it.

(It's months later, when Omega's keeping Rouge company window-shopping & "shopping", that Rouge's suddenly holding a black fabric to his optics and ushering him toward the changing booths of the establishment. She'd managed to locate a very similar dress to the one he'd tried on, but in black. And Omega agrees to humour her, his only stipulation being they leave promptly afterwards. (They've been "shopping" for 1h38min already). – The shiny black color is an improvement (any dirt or wear is more difficult to spot compared to the white version), Omega can analyse that much. Rouge only contemplates his appearance for 0.9s before clapping her hands together, exclaiming: "You look gorgeous~!" And Omega is floored once more. Because it's ever-so slightly better than "beautiful" ; there's an implied awe, epicness, spectacularness, brilliancy- to the word. The black version of the dress does look better. Rouge suggests acquiring the garment. Omega declines, having no practical use for it. But he does take advantage of the booth's mirrors to get a proper final view of himself.)

[guys-chill]

Something I find discouraging now that AI is more developed, is that the speech it uses to sound more intelligent often sounds like my unmasked speech. I haven't come across this issue verbally, but when submitting papers and answering questions online, I have been questioned multiple times about the use of AI in formulating my response. It hasn't caused me too much trouble, and allegedly people believe me, but I'm not so sure that they're truthful in saying that. To clarify, AI speech can be helpful and I'm not coming for those who use it to communicate, but it is frustrating to have my responses misunderstood as originating from AI and not from me.

Today I saw a post by someone, that had the comments tearing them apart for using AI to script their inquiry. To them, the use of larger, more descriptive/less colloquial, key words that may not have been necessary to include, is indicative of using a program like ChatGP. To be fair I can never know if the poster was being truthful in saying that they did not use AI, but reading the post, I could see myself typing the same thing.

I worry for future online interactions while AI remains in this sort of "uncanny valley" stage. While I am able to mask in the majority of discussions, it takes a great amount of effort and I'm not always successful. I am also confused, as I was encouraged to learn larger, more descriptive vocabulary in school to describe my thoughts, but in every day life, the use of uncommon vocabulary and syntax is looked down upon as pretentious and inauthentic. I worry that people will garner disdain towards me, should they not believe the origin of my script. Even looking back at that sentence, I am disappointed with how evident it is that it was not generated by someone with a typical speaking pattern. With intentional thought, I believe I could modify my responses to fit the standard format of speech, if I remember to. But I select the words I do for a reason, and changing the words I use changes the meaning of my response. I would like the full intent and meaning of my thoughts to be conveyed, and to have my words understood as my own.

[flight-freedom]

But these days I miss strangers more than I More than I miss my friends And the waves of conversations breaking on The shores of my head again

Late night thoughts.

About 2 hours ago I felt shitty so I decided to drink some white-wine and take a warm bath cause.. Fuckitwhynot? Didn't end up taking a bath just a warm, long shower but it was soothing. Feel strangely sober- though it was only a single glass of wine a few hours ago.

Anyway- for some reason I'm craving the biting cold of winter on my face while I'm bundled up in a warm winter jacket(s). Usually I don't relish the ensnarling feeling of winter's early dark, it's cold, strong, winds and deep, occasionally muddy snows. Nor it's gray days and Global Warming-ed sleet. But tonight.. For some reason... I'd really like to walk through a quiet icy cold forest while snow-flakes melt on my warm skin.

I was looking at the snow postcast (opposite of forecast? They were weather records.) and I guess it usually snows by Nov. or Dec. here and every year since 2018 we've been getting significantly less snow. like 10 inches less each year from a high of 42.. I remember in 2017 it snowed on Halloween. (That was a shock!)

At the same time there's this strong feeling inside me that wants to go do or find something novel, something memorable, meaningful- purposeful. A road-trip far West? A flight or weeklong vacation somewhere I've never been?

It's a weird feeling both the urge to leave and "Just GO....!" ...somewhere. Find somewhere new and novel but also find somewhere I feel like I belong, somewhere I know I'm not wasting my time and life. Somewhere wherein every day doesn't blur by like waves on a beach. I guess my heart and brain are screaming out for meaning and purpose and belonging... and someone to hold and give meaning to my hours. Alas I don't know where to go to find any of that. :-/

For some reason my brain says "Out West! Go to the Rockies!" but it's a naïve sentiment, at least I hope it is, since I'm ignoring it.

I love fansubs

I backed nyou some cookies, from my sincere heart

[todayisafridaynight]

YEAH........... YEAH..... LIKEWISE, NO NOTES AT ALL, THAT'S EXACTLY IT... Main antagonist deaths are often treated as "comeuppance," but that would be the ultimate comeuppance for Aoki. As it stands, the only people who actually suffer for it are Ichiban and Jo, and Ichi didn't even do anything wrong. Also please I'm positive there's more to wring out of Aoki and Jo for an essay 😭😭at the very least, I always love to hear your perspective!

"he'd made a social circle for himself where people predominantly liked him for the power and influence" <- incredibly Mine-core of Aoki btw (I also feel the rest applies a little in terms of Mine probably being very quick to write off people who Do care about him as not caring about him, as with Katase, but it's nowhere near the extent of the Arakawas)

Wait actually it's kind of funny... for both Mine and Aoki, I was so sure their endings would go a certain way. Mine and Kiryu'd fight Richardson off together and Ichi'd, I don't know, shield Aoki or hug him so Kume couldn't get to him in the first place, or after that INSANE direct parallel to Arakawa running to the hospital with Masato, he'd miraculously pull through like he did on New Year's. Tormented with visions of the better timeline... With Aoki in particular, it makes me want to tear my hair out because the moment of him choosing to put the gun in the locker was REVOLUTIONARY for the series, looking at the characters he was most heavily based on.

Anyway. Bottom line. These bitches need to hug it out. It was so evil Arakawa didn't hug Ichi at Omi HQ or on the waterfront like bro stop being """manly""" for five seconds you're ruining my life you're ruining your own lives

There'd genuinely be nothing more painful yet more satisfying for an antagonist than being confronted with the consequences of their actions and having to navigate life after having making those decisions, ESPECIALLY when it comes to mending the bonds that- for anyone else- would have shattered long ago. With Aoki being motivated by the want to be loved and appreciated for himself, it would've been nice to see him finally acknowledge that he did have that love and start to better himself as a result (however much he'd be able to while in prison anyway lmao).

The Mine and Aoki comparisons are so real though, I remember joking to myself about it days after beating the game but it just fuels my mental illness every time I think about it ☠️ I LEGALLY AM NOT ALLOWED TO GO OFF ABOUT THE Y7 ENDING I'VE DONE IT TOO MUCH it makes me so mad every time I think about it 😭 ESPECIALLY THE PARALLELS WITH ARAKAWA AND THE LOCKERS UGGGHHH IT COULD HAVE BEEN SUCH AN EPIC CONCLUSION WITH THAT... Arakawa running from the lockers at the start of Aoki's life compared to Ichiban running from the lockers and getting Aoki to the hospital so Aoki can restart life I'm Going To Kill Someone (myself) (in Minecraft)

Is the zh in zhe pronounced like the Russian ж, or is just like a z and the h means nothing?

For Storm's pronouns? I'm not very familiar with Russian at all, but after looking up some pronunciations I think ж is pretty similar to what I'm going for, yeah
