A Lion in Your Den

Yandere Male Lion Hybrid Android x Transmasc Reader (CW: Non-con, breakup, depression, disassociation, overstimulation, drug induced pleasure, general yandere behavior) EXTRA NOTE: The term “pussy” is used to refer to transmasc genitals, this may potentially give some transmasc readers dysphoria so I just wanted to be extra clear on what is in this fic. Word Count: 4.5k (Big thanks to the commissioner, they paid way above my normal rate for this just so I could finish my garden and feed the senior center as well as my family. They wished to remain anonymous so I will not tag them, but I still just wanted everyone to know how awesome the commissioner is.)

The day had started like any other, you went to work and thought of taking the love of your life, Marcus, out to dinner later to get you through the day. You largely kept to yourself, got your work done, and turned to your happy thoughts when things got too unbearable. And when you got home after work to prepare for your date with your beloved, things were still going great. You took great care in getting and looking immaculate, you donned your best suit, which your android butler had kept pristine for you. “What do you think Ash,” you asked, doing a slow turn to show him how you looked. “You look amazing today sir, very handsome, I am sure Marcus will think so too!” Though his opinion was a bit biased, you were sure he would let you know if anything was seriously amiss with your attire. Ash was your android butler, he attended to you basically acting as a personal assistant and housekeeper. He cooked, cleaned, kept you organized, and in general just helped keep your days moving with a good flow. You were lucky you could afford him, feline mandroids were pretty expensive but your salary as a member of upper management at the company that manufactured these androids, along with an employee discount, meant you could get one. Ash was a later model, based on a lion. Not as petite as the domestic cat based model, and their personalities were less timid, and it was not uncommon to see them employed as bodyguards. You could easily see Ash in such a role, his image was certainly intimidating, standing 7ft tall was long ginger hair, lion like ears on the top of his head, a tail, sharp fangs, and glowing yellow eyes. With Ash’s affirmation that you looked fine and that you weren’t forgetting anything you grabbed your keys and headed to your car to meet Marcus at the park from which you would take a pleasant stroll down the street to a lovely seafood restaurant at which you had booked reservations. You pulled into the park’s parking lot and saw Marcus sitting on the bench waiting for you, you were a few minutes early so you knew he had been very early. One of the things you loved about him, always on time and never once stood you up. That was of course only one minor thing you admired about him, he was so sweet and open about himself, in contrast with your more reserved personality. He was also always wanting to go do things, go on adventures and see the sights, it was refreshing. And in bed he was great, always letting you on top, letting you cover him in bites while he moaned and whimpered submissively below you. In all areas of life he was extremely compatible with you, that’s why tonight you were going to ask him to take the next step with him towards spending the rest of your life with him. You had made all the preparations, so sure that he would say yes. You were going to ask him to move in with you. You knew he was having trouble keeping up with rent and this way he wouldn’t have to worry about that at all, you could take care of him. You even cleared a spare room for him to put all his stuff into. As you approached him he seemed a little nervous, though that wasn’t unusual, he always was whenever the two of you were on an outing where there would be people like at a restaurant or anything like that, he always calmed down and enjoyed himself eventually. You loved how he always calmed down when you held hands. He stood up and you silently took his hand before pulling him close and planting a chaste kiss on his cheek. “I am so glad I get to see you tonight, I thought about you all day at work, I know you love seafood so you are going to love this place I promise,” you said to him excitedly. He seemed a bit distant and distracted which wasn’t much like him, but you didn’t press him on it, he was probably just hyper-fixating on some small issue at work or something like that. When you were at the restaurant everything was pleasant enough. The food was good and flavorful, the zest of lemon imbued fish dancing on your tongue, the smell of freshly prepared seafood hanging thickly in the air, and the ambient sounds of other customers chatting and the scraping of silverware against their plates. Mainly you just enjoyed Marcus’ company and engaged in small talk and light banter, but eventually you started talking about your future together and were about to bring up the prospect of him moving in with you, but before you had a chance to take the conversation that far he interrupted you. “Look uh, we need to talk…” Uh-oh. No conversation between partners that started that way ever ended well. The conversation wasn’t one you could recall completely, you were so anxious and more than a bit dizzy, but the gist was that he was breaking up with you and did not feel that spark anymore. You remembered dropping your fork and hearing it clatter against your plate, and you remembered still experiencing the sounds and smell of an eatery and all the other patrons carrying on blissfully with their lives even as your world was completely shattered. You remembered Marcus apologizing and putting some money on the table before awkwardly getting up and leaving. And finally you remembered all of this as if you were not experiencing this first hand but almost as if you were floating a bit out of body and watching all of this unfold from a detached perspective. And that is how you were as you asked for the check, walked back to your car, and drove home, completely detached and out of it, as if you were just floating on auto-pilot going through all of the motions without really experiencing them or having proper presence of mind, it was like the spirit, the very ability to experience emotions beyond a dull whisper of what you should be experiencing, had left your body. When you arrived home of course Ash greeted you in his normal optimistic and ready to please manner as soon as you opened the door, before he even got a chance to look at you, “Hello, sir did the date go well, how’s Marcus? Did you ask him about mov- Oh, are you okay? What happened?” Finally looking at you, Ash could immediately tell there was something very wrong by the way that you stared ahead blankly and the change in the way with which you usually carried yourself. You responded only by brushing past him and walking upstairs to your bedroom and closing the door behind you before locking it and laying on your bed. You did not even bother to change out of your nice clothes. What was the point? What was the point of anything anymore? Ash tried a few times over the course of what remained of the night to knock on your door and get you to tell him what was wrong, but you just ignored him, in truth you barely noticed. You still felt like everything was distant. Your android was worried, and as the days progressed he grew more worried, it was a long weekend so it wasn’t too bad at first but then you did something you never did, you called off of work. Since you refused to talk about what had happened on the night of your date he had to get into contact with Marcus and finally found out the reason for your radical change in behavior. He knew humans were sentimental things that built attachments to one another and to future plans, but he had no idea that the loss of a relationship could so drastically alter someone. Especially someone as reserved and seemingly well put together as yourself. Ash looked into it, accessing data from top psychologists and neuroscientists and experts on all things to do with relationships. Most advice said to heal you would need time and some distraction to take your mind off the trauma of the loss of your mate. So time is what he gave you, but try as he might you would not allow yourself to be distracted. He tried fun activities, engaging in your favorite hobbies, getting you new games to play, cooking fun and exciting new dishes that were sure to please you given his extensive knowledge of what you enjoyed, but nothing worked. You were perfectly content to stay in your room, ignore him, and consume junk that was certainly not ideal for your body. After a week and a half of this you finally returned back to work, and Ash was thrilled, he was sure the spell had been broken. But, no, you were just going through the motions as detached as you had been since your breakup. Sure, you were taking slightly better care of yourself, maintaining your sleep schedule, cleaning up better, but you were still just going through the motions, like a plastic bag caught in a breeze you were not really trying to break out of the cycle, you were just doing what was necessary, and keeping your job was necessary when you ran out of vacation time. Ash, though running out of ideas, was trying very hard to break you out of your funk. He was only trying relatively small things, in an effort to follow the advice and let you have time to heal naturally, but there was all of 0 progress on that front. The lion man missed your old self more and more, the way how even though you were a quiet person you would talk about Marcus and your plans together for extended periods, the way your face lit up when you were thinking about him, or the way you always wore a big grin when you were heading out the door to see him or when he was on his way over. Ash loathed seeing you reduced to this mere shadow of a husk of a human being. You were more robotic at this point than any modern android! Finally he decided that he would have to ignore the traditional and well regarded advice and do something slightly more drastic. After all, each human was extremely unique and there were always going to be some that did not respond to traditional methods. It was becoming clear after a couple months that you needed more than just time. The first larger attempt Ash made in hastening your recovery was to get you out of the house. You didn’t see the point in doing so, but due to his sheer persistence you finally acquiesced to his request. He was careful not to take you anywhere that you had been to with your ex, nothing with any possible romantic connotation, instead trying out new experiences to get you to make happy new memories. For your part it was actually nice to get outside and enjoy the fresh air a bit. Left to your own devices you’d probably just be back in your house or working overtime to just distract you from having to face any emotions that sometimes welled up to the surface. Though Ash was happy that you were at least now willing to get out of the house when pestered, it did not lead to the change in you that he thought it would, the fact he could get you out of the bedroom was at least a sign to him that he was on the right track. Now was the time to press forward with this tiny bit of momentum. His programming and research combined with his personal knowledge and care for your well being led the machine to come to the conclusion that you really should not be so hung up on Marcus. In fact, having a new romantic interest may just be the thing that you needed. And now that he could get you out of the house you may be amicable out of the house. But you absolutely were not entertaining that idea, you pointed out that you just were not ready. And what if you got hurt again? You told Ash to just drop the idea, it wasn’t happening. His programming and drive to make you back to your old love struck self overrode your demand though. He did consider your very logical point about getting hurt again though, a second heartbreak on top of this one could be disastrous if you pursued love again and failed, but he came up with an easy workaround to that roadblock. He would simply date you himself! And he would make sure that you never ever broke up under any circumstances. It was the perfect solution. You could be head over heels for him and he could keep you safe and stop any human from shattering your heart again. Of course he would have to do this stealthily, otherwise he was sure you would just reject this idea outright. He was pretty confident in his ability to pull this off, he would just make the outings he dragged you to gradually more romantic. You’d been so out of it and distracted lately that you surely wouldn’t notice until you were head over heels for him, maybe even more so than you had been with your last mate. He did have several advantages over a normal human after all. The first of the secret “dates” that he had planned was just an extension to what you had done with him previously. Instead of just enjoying some fresh air and the pleasant view of nature surrounding you, Ash had personally made some of your favorite foods that were suitable to take on a picnic. You were not as numb as you had been immediately following your breakup with Marcus, but it came in waves, sometimes you felt your emotions were pretty muted and other times you were sad, but sometimes you felt like you were almost approaching the vicinity of okay. Thankfully during the picnic you were in one of the nearly okay periods, so it was actually a rather nice distraction from everything. It seemed like hanging out with Ash was the only distraction you had lately, other than work, and it seemed you had come to rely on them, they gave you a bit of structure to cling to outside of work hours, since Ash was so consistent and predictable when he scheduled them. When you felt more off you did not eat much so since you felt better you ate a decent amount of what your android had made for you. He had memorized all your favorites and fixed them custom tailored to your taste buds. As you sat and enjoyed nature his hand lightly grazed yours, you let it linger for a moment before slowly pulling away, not thinking anything of it other than he just accidentally had it there. With some effort you managed to push aside the thoughts of how it had reminded you of your ex, funny how such a simple accident could spark thoughts of past romance. The second “date” that Ash took you on was to a movie, it was to a franchise that you had long been a fan of and this entry in the series looked like it was going to be really great. When it was announced your loyal and ever caring android notified you immediately and ordered the tickets the second the movie was showing in the theater closest to you. The lion android fetched some popcorn and a large drink for you before shuffling into a seat beside you. Before your breakup you had not spent so much time outside the home with Ash but you were quickly considering him your best friend now, it wasn’t too odd or frowned upon anymore, plenty of people had machines for friends nowadays, AI had become extremely advanced. As the movie played you become wholly engrossed in the film, it commanded every ounce of your attention. You did not even notice when Ash gently put his arm around you or when you instinctively leaned into it. You didn’t realize what had transpired until the end of the movie when you looked away from the screen, almost half expecting to see Marcus. Almost forgetting for a moment, even after all this time, about things having ended between the two of you. Your cheeks flushed red and you felt a twinge of anxiety in your chest and apologized to Ash before hurrying to the car. He gave you a few moments before he followed after you and got in, silently driving you back home. Though you were typically the driver Ash had started taking the driver seat more often than he had previously. The ride passed in awkward silence until you finally arrived home. After ignoring what had happened at the theater long enough it was like it had never happened and it completely left your mind. Ash was just trying to be comforting, it didn’t mean anything, it wasn’t that big of a deal. He wasn’t a human, so he was bound to get romantic and platonic behaviors eventually. And you had been caught up in the movie, you wouldn’t have leaned into him otherwise. Ash, on the other hand, was positive that his plan was working. It may have ended with a bit of awkwardness and denial on your part, but he had successfully engaged in maintained physical contact with you for the duration of a date and that was by far the biggest amount of progress he had achieved since he started this plan to get you romantically involved with him. All you needed now was a bit of space to process things and then the android could move on to the third date. Third dates were very special for humans, normally meaning sex, and he was more than happy to please you in that regard, he knew he would be able to perform well, he had a number of features that humans lacked. He had everything planned out, there was a fancy new restaurant that had just opened a few weeks ago and he had convinced you to let him make reservations for the two of you. Ash was excited to enjoy a romantic meal with you, androids of his design could ingest food like a human and use it as fuel though he rarely did so. But he was more excited to just be on a romantic evening with you, what had started as a mission to cheer you up and prevent you from ever experiencing the emotional anguish of another breakup quickly became a mission to also sate his own growing desire and love for you. After experiencing these new and complex emotions he was eager to explore them farther with you. He was practically giddy with anticipation. The dinner was going fine for you, though your overzealous android companion had not perhaps the awareness needed to realize that this establishment was one that normally only couples went to for more fancy and romantic outings, so you were a bit self conscious wondering what people may think. But you didn’t say anything, Ash seemed happy to once more get you out of the house and you didn’t want to sour his mood. Ash misinterpreted your slightly embarrassed blush as a sign that you may finally really be having strong emotions for him as he had developed for you but you were still just a bit shy about it. Maybe you had even found out that these outings were dates and you were nervous about what was supposed to happen after the third one. Aside from an occasional stare from another customer at the restaurant and maybe some slight side-eye from the waiter, dinner went well, but once you got home Ash’s demeanor changed. Dramatically. He held the door open for you as usual but once he stepped into the house he stared at you not unlike a lion about to pounce on some long stalked prey. Ash quickly closed the distance between the two of you and pressed his lips against yours, placing his hand on the back of your head and leaving you locked in a deep kiss as his tongue invaded your mouth. You tried to push him off but there was no relent until he was finished. When he finally broke the kiss you were left gasping for air. “Oh, sorry sir, I got a bit carried away there.” “Ash… what the fuck!?” “No this is foreplay, the fuck comes after!” “Huh? What, no, why did you kiss me?” He put his hands on your hips and pulled you close before nipping your ear and whispering, “This is a common occurrence after humans have a third date, part of the mating ritual~” You struggled once more to push him away, only managing to now do so because he allowed it. “Oh, you’re doing that “playing hard to get” part of the ritual that many humans like, I have come across it in my research, don’t worry I am more than happy to accommodate!” Before you could respond he was back to kissing you aggressively before biting your neck. “Stop it Ash, really! You’re scaring me! We aren’t dating!” “No need to be shy about it! I know some people look down on androids dating their humans, but come on. All the outings? All the time spent together to heal your broken heart? We both know that was dating!” “That’s fucking insane, your reasoning is way of-” Your words were interrupted with yet another forceful kiss, this time accompanied by him grinding his knee into your crotch through your clothing, causing you to whimper a bit without meaning to. Without notice he quite literally swept you off your feet and hoisted you over his shoulder. With his immense android strength it was as easy for him as picking up a ten pound bag would be for you. You did not bother to struggle as he carried you up the stairs, even if you did manage to remove yourself from his grasp all you would have accomplished was a nice tumble down. Instead you opted to wait until he put you down. Once he set you on the bed in your room you made a dash for it, but were quickly pulled back and laid on the bed with Ash pinning you down effortlessly. In addition to their immense strength, androids also had reflexes far superior than any human could possibly hope to match. The lion android slammed you a bit roughly on the bed, still lost in his delusion that you are just enjoying “playing hard to get”. He pressed his lip to yours once more, a string of drool connecting your lips as he pulled back from the kiss. His eyes looked absolutely crazed as he stared down at you for a few seconds that felt like an eternity. When he stopped admiring you with his unnerving stare he quickly ripped off your clothing. Using his great strength and retractable claws. Within seconds your clothing was reduced to mere ribbons that he swatted away, leaving you fully exposed underneath him. You began crying, tears running down your face, you normally were not very expressive with your emotions, but you had never felt so wholly vulnerable. Even when having consensual sex with partners you were never on the bottom! Ash noticed your dismay and his general demeanor became a bit softer, gently stroking your cheek with his hand and trying to reassure you, “Shh, it’s okay, you’ll feel so much better when this is done, I know how much you need this.” Ash slid out of his pants and revealed his large synthetic cock. He rubbed it gently against your entrance, slowly massaging your pussy with it. Even as you were crying you could not help but let a whimper escape you. Physically it felt nice but psychologically it was damaging to have your body act as a traitor, it probably would have been mentally easier on you if you had felt no pleasure. When you were wet and leaking Ash slowly slid inside you, thick pre-cum oozing from his cock, a pleasure inducing synthetic fluid that androids came equipped with. And it did not take long at all for them to begin to take effect as he fucked them slowly into your body. When you were squirming and moaning with pleasure he knew that you were ready for him to go at a much more vigorous pace. As he pounded you you felt his cock extend to its full size, longer than what would be possible for a human, without him warming you up and applying his drugged pre-cum you would almost certainly be in at least a moderate amount of pain right now. What passed for the equivalent of Ash’s heart was practically thrumming with joy at seeing you pleasured under him, tears leaking down your cheeks from sheer overstimulation, you needed to let it all out, all the stuff you had been through, and he knew that this was an excellent release for all the stress and depression you had been holding on to. He was more than happy to be the one to help you let loose and he felt closer to you than he ever had before. You were completely his now as far as he was concerned, never again to be hurt by the likes of another fickle human such as Marcus. But he needed to mark you, the lion type personality he had as well as mating rituals he had researched dictated to him that you needed to be marked in a visible manner that showed that you were taken by a proper mate. As he impaled you deeper, sending wave after wave of drug induced pleasure through your man cunt, he leaned down and licked and sucked your neck, adding yet more arousing sensations to your already overwhelmed body, then he bit down as he growled territorially. Careful not to injure you in a serious manner, but hard nonetheless. You came hard as he licked the fresh bite wound, all the while he kept thrusting into you. Even through your orgasm he did not stop, he did not tire as easily as you did and could easily keep going for many hours. And that is exactly what he did, fucked you right into oblivion. By the time he coaxed the fifth orgasm out of your aching abused pussy you were crying and begging him to stop. “But if I stop too soon darling you might not be satisfied, I have to fuck all the stress out of you!” “Ah! Please Ash! No m-moreee ahhhh~” You came again, the drug in his fluids making it easy to have climax after climax. But this time you finally blacked out from the pleasure. With you finally fucked to sleep Ash allowed himself to finish inside you before cleaning you up, bundling you in the softest blankets that you owned, and holding you protectively. No lesser male would ever break your heart again.

Another file time, and it’s a few day old one!

My cold has officially faded away. I have yet to check on my little lady at the moment to see her BPM, but in this file, I recorded with my phone again so you can hear her better and more clarified as she was quicker. I’m curious to know her BPM! Although judging by my previous recording with my stemo, I’d say she’s definitely around 90–100 BPM somewhere after seeing her just stay there. Ah, poor thing. She worked hard! Now no more heart palpitations so I assume she’s back down to her normal resting rate around in the high 60s-high 70s. Fascinating! I love it. It’s so interesting! 🫀

Also my apologies for not recording my little lady’s reaction to watching 6 hours of Spa the other day. I totally forgot but on top of that anyway, there was quite the amount of yellow flags and safety cars. About over an hour and a half left, a massive incident happened between a Cadillac and a BMW so that resulted in a very long red flag that actually went right to the end of the race, but low and behold, the race director that WEC has is amazing! Him and the rest agreed to adding what we’ve lost from being under a red flag so the race was continued in overtime! So technically in a timed scenario the race was under 8 hours long in total because of the overtime. The race stopped for over an hour and a half, but it was only fair to everyone including the fans that the race had to be extended. It was awesome! That also gave a Porsche 1-2 finish! Jota won for the first time as a privateer team and Porsche Penske #6 got a P2 podium finish! Unfortunately for my #5 car they did not finish due to making a mistake on the curb at Blanchimont. The car lost it and slammed against the wall, causing the hybrid safetysystem to go off and essentially refuse to restart the car which ended their race sadly. I was waiting for my favourite driver to get in the car since it wasn’t his time yet but there’s always next race! Anyway haha. My brain just forgot about recoding my little lady! Next time! Actually, for the Detroit GP and 24 hours of Nurburgring. After that, I have to make sure I have enough recordings all done and edited before I leave for my trip to Ontario :)

lewis hamilton and george russell are interviewed on media day, imola - may 16, 2024 📷 @.rtbfsport / twitter (transcript under the cut)

Interviewer: "For both of you, how encouraging is it for you, still experimenting a little bit, to see a McLaren car with a Mercedes engine capable of winning? It means it's possible, or not?" Lewis: "I think we've always known that the engine's not the problem, [laughs] so… The engine's great. I think the guys continue to do an amazing job, in terms of developing that technology, and with the hybrid era we have been right at the top in terms of our development rate and performance and reliability, so that hasn't ever been an issue, so anyone buying our engines knows what they're getting. But we know on the car side we haven't done the best of jobs the last couple of years, and we're working as hard we can to rectify that." George: "He said it quite well." [laughs]

Sheltered: Chapter 1

This is the first from our AO3 collection, making its way over to Tumblr. Stay tuned for weekly updates or visit here for the complete story.

{Main Pairings:} Jeon Jungkook/Original Female Character, Choi Soobin/Original Female Character, Kim Taehyung/Original Female Character(s)

{Rating:} 18+

{Genre:} Alternate Universe - Hybrids

{Summary:} Realization finally dawned on Lily, knowing she now had the responsibility of three hybrids rather than three dogs. Her eyes grew wide while her eyebrows rose up in wonder before she turned her attention to her sister. The shocked expression of Rose had her smile sheepishly. “Well, at least we don’t have to name them.”

{Warnings:} Mature Language, Nudity, Mild Aggression

Rain slapped against the front of Lily’s pickup truck, the wipers working vigorously to sweep the droplets from the windshield as she drove in the dark evening atmosphere. She reached over to turn up the radio as the storm bounced off the top of her metal roof, surrounding her in a loud merciless roar. The lyrics of the song could barely be heard beyond the thick veil of rain pour, but yet a sharp ding resonated from the dashboard. She glanced at her fuel gauge, noticing a bright orange light in the shape of a gas pump glaring at her. 

She dramatically sighed as fatigue squeezed her limbs. “Shit.” She muttered, hitting her turn signal to pull over to the oncoming gas station. She quickly found an available place to park before getting out, holding her keys and wallet. She slumped to the machine next to her truck as she mechanically followed the usual protocols to start pumping gas into her vehicle. “I just bought groceries. I just want to go home.” She muttered to herself, plucking the pump handle from its holster to put it in her fuel tank. 

The hose clicked in place as she locked the handle before leaning against her truck. She tossed her head towards the gas station, eyeballing the atmosphere and debating to grab a slushie for the drive home. “Eh, fuck it.” She briskly moved across the lot, ducking under her arms from the rain to enter the building in hopes of a cherry-flavored treat. 

After waiting in an obnoxiously slow line as someone bought instant win scratch-offs, Lily emerged back to her truck, large slush in hand, to find it was filled to the brim and ready for her to head back out on the road. She timidly pulled the handle out of the funnel then placed it back in the holster subconsciously checking the total cost of her gas purchase before finally hopping in the driver’s seat. 

She turned on the ignition, happy to see her gas light was gone, but surprised to see another warning light shining on her dashboard. Her eyebrows furrowed as she glanced back through the small back window only seeing the truck bed cover. She sighed with annoyance as she pushed open her door and walked towards the back of her truck. She paused next to her rear tire when she noticed her tailgate was laid open. She looked at the door curiously, leaning down to check the bed of the truck until a flash of lightning struck in her peripheral. 

She squeaked as she shut the tailgate before dashing back into the safety of her truck, her heart pounding as thunder clapped through the air. She exhaled to calm her nerves, “Alright let’s go home.” She turned up the music and pulled away from the pump in hopes the storm would stop once she was back at the house. 

The journey home was relatively short and while the rain had yet to let up, the lightning was off in the distance. She opened the two-car garage, backing the truck into the dry space to easily unload the groceries from the cargo net in the back. She slowly moved around the bed to lift the tonneau and nearly had a heart attack when she heard an aggressive growl. She held the cover closed, trying to fathom what the noise was coming from her trunk. 

A soft whimper caused her to tentatively glance inside only to find three large dogs huddled towards the front of the truck bed. “How the hell… how did you get in here?” She lifted the tonneau further to get a better look at the inconceivable circumstance.

 The first dog was hunched in front of the others protectively with a thin shiny coat of black and brown. The scowl of his snout was evidence of the growl she heard previously. She moved slowly, reaching out to offer him her hand. “It’s okay. I won’t hurt you.” She cooed, hoping the doberman wouldn't bite her. 

A smaller dog poked its head out from behind the doberman, ears pressed down as it sniffed in her direction. The coat was thicker and drenched from the rain with a beautiful combination of white, black, and gray. It slowly moved around the intense doberman and nuzzled against her hand. She noticed with the acceptance from the speckled border collie, the doberman released the tension in its jaw. 

As she encouraged the border collie with affection, she took a final look to see a mess of white and black digging its head into a grocery bag. That’s when she noticed the crumbs splayed all over the bed of her truck with bits of the plastic bags chewed up from where the dogs broke into her grocery run. “I see you helped yourself.” The Siberian husky crunched loudly on a morsel as his large eyes looked in her direction.

She chuckled despite herself, “I wonder what Rose will say.”

—

 “Absolutely not!” Rose hollered after her older sister’s ridiculous proposal. “I can’t believe you brought three of them home.” Rose pressed her fingertips to her temples, exhausted from a long day of studying and the eccentric behavior of Lily.

 While Rose was busy with her head buried in her schoolbooks, Lily snuck the three large dogs into the house to grab towels and dry them off. However, the husky refused to stay silent and howled throughout the expanse of the house, his sound echoing off the high ceilings. When the younger sister emerged from her room to find dirty puddles running through the halls from their paws, she was already at the end of her rope. Then she found them shaking themselves dry all over the living room furniture, splattering the fabric of the couch with drops of muddy rainwater. 

 “I didn’t bring them here! They snuck into my truck!” Lily defended as she rubbed a towel over the thick hair of the husky to dry him off. The doberman stood facing Rose and in front of the others as if blocking her from them while the collie laid submissively on another towel, ears pressed down against his head.

 “Yeah, like I’m gonna believe that.” Rose huffed, crossing her arms and glaring down at the offending doberman. “We can’t keep them. So, wherever you got them, you need to take them back tomorrow.”

 The border collie whimpered as he looked up between Rose and Lily. Lily stopped running the towel over the husky and moved towards the collie, wrapping the towel around his body like a burrito. “Can you find them some food? Please?” She smiled brightly at her sister as she petted the collie soothingly.

 Rose only groaned as she walked over towards the kitchen, scavenging in the pantry for food suitable for dogs. Once she was away, the doberman relaxed and moved to jump on the couch. Lily cringed as she noticed the fabric of the sofa got wet from his fur but bit her tongue as she continued to dry off the dog lying down in front of her. 

 “You know, I was thinking the border collie would suit a human name like Jack or Noah. What do you think?” Lily projected her voice toward the kitchen, hoping to rope her sister into naming them and growing attached. She bit her lip in anticipation of Rose’s response.

 “We’re not naming them!” She heard from the kitchen, causing her to roll her eyes. She laughed it off, persistent in achieving her goal.  

 “Human names? Okay, maybe something fun and sporty like Maverick or Dynamite.” She ruffled the ears of the collie, cooing nonsense to the dog as her sister went on a rant from the kitchen. She hummed with affection as she ran her fingertips under his muzzle despite the nagging lecture from her younger sister about responsibility. 

 “How about JK?” A deep voice spoke, causing Lily to pause with fear as she held the muzzle of the collie in her hands. She slowly turned her head in the direction of the voice and screamed when she witnessed a stark-naked man sitting casually on their couch. He sat with his legs comfortably spread out, his frame exceedingly larger than that of the doberman previously in his place. His body was toned and sculpted by inherent athleticism as the natural tan of his skin portrayed his muscles. 

He brushed his black hair from his face, the strands damp like the rest of his body. She crawled away from the sight, averting her eyes away from his dewy skin as if he had just walked out from a fresh shower. His large eyes stared at her with a blank expression, challenging her with a quirk of an eyebrow to respond. She glanced around only to find that the doberman was gone, and she began panicking. “W-where?” She could barely speak as her nerves rattled from this strange man being in their home.

 Rose stepped away from the kitchen and looked at her sister with concern, “Why did you…” Her voice trailed off as her eyes flicked towards the couch to also take in the naked man dripping on their couch, not even bothering to cover his indecency. “Who the hell are you?” She asked with alarm in her voice. 

 He simply smirked in her direction, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly. “My name is Jungkook, but I prefer JK.” He leaned against the back of the couch and draped his arms across the sofa like he was asserting his dominance by taking up the most space in the room. He looked at Lily, waiting for her to meet his eyes. “I’m a hybrid, a doberman hybrid.”

 The women froze as their jaws slowly dropped in awe. They were aware of the existence of hybrids but had rarely encountered the change, only ever seeing them as either animal or human. Then she realized that the aggressive dog from earlier was now this undeniably attractive man.

 “Woah.” Lily whispered simply, unable to process any other words. Her experience with hybrids was novice, but she was intrigued all the same. She knew the rules for owning hybrids were far more complicated than any other domestic pet.

 Then the other dogs began to shift, their bodies expanding into the built figure of naked men. Rose was shaking as she watched in horror the husky turn first, curling his arms around his legs as he sat on the floor next to the couch. She was grateful that his strong legs covered the appendage between his legs; already mentally exhausted from one unexpected view. 

 Much like Jungkook, the husky hybrid had black hair and a toned frame. However, his body was leaner, and his facial features included narrower-shaped eyes and mouth. He smiled sweetly at the sisters despite the fact he was uncomfortably naked. “I’m Soobin.” He leaned his chin on his knee as his eyes danced between them with glee. 

 Finally, the border collie was ready to share his human appearance as he hunched over from his previous spot on the floor. He timidly moved to pull his towel around his body to hide his bareness like a gentleman. His dark eyes seemed scared as he looked at the women, a shy smile on his lips as he waved a hand. “I’m Taehyun.” His hair was dark with tones of gray and white much like his dog form. He had a smaller frame than the others, but that only served to give him a more pronounced profile as his features enhanced his figure. 

 Realization finally dawned on Lily, knowing she now had the responsibility of three hybrids rather than three dogs. Her eyes grew wide while her eyebrows rose up in wonder before she turned her attention to her sister. The shocked expression of Rose had her smile sheepishly. “Well, at least we don’t have to name them.”

 She tried to laugh off the nerves bunched through her, but the way Rose nearly twitched in irritation told her she had a lot more to worry about. A fire blazed in the blue of her irises. “Oh, hell no!”

Tommy was a leaf slug, AKA sea sheep. He had long rhinophores that extended from the top of his head. Others may know such things as antennae. Though his were softer and looked more like feathers. And the amazing “benefit” of being a hybrid of one of the smallest creatures on earth… He was small too. He stood at only a measly 1 foot and 4 inches.

On his back sat the “leaf” part of his name. These were called cerata. They were bundles of leaves that extended out of his back like he was a palm tree, expanding similar to a peacock. This helped him photosynthesize. He didn’t need much to do so, but the humans weren’t keen on letting him outside much. They didn’t let him go to recess with the other kids for fear of them getting hurt. And they certainly didn’t have enough people to keep an eye on him.

To make sure he didn’t run away.

So, Tommy was stuck eating the algae they provided him. Which wasn’t much, but it did the job.

Tommy sighed as he got in the car, buckling his seatbelt.

What human would want a mess like him?

Or, sea sheep Tommy and sea bunny Wilbur find a home in each other.

Brown reveals McLaren technical leadership changes were in the works since late 2022

McLaren boss Zak Brown has admitted that change was on the agenda inside the team from the closing stages of the 2022 season, with their rate of car development failing to live up to expectations. McLaren recently announced the exit of Technical Director James Key as part of a series of changes across their technical department, all with the long-term aim of returning to race and title-winning ways. READ MORE: James Key parts ways with McLaren as team announce technical restructure Rather than a single technical chief, McLaren have decided to implement three specialised roles moving forward, with the trio of positions reporting directly to newly-appointed Team Principal Andrea Stella. Experienced engineer Peter Prodromou becomes Technical Director, Aerodynamics; Neil Houldey has been promoted to the new role of Technical Director, Engineering and Design; while David Sanchez will return to McLaren from Ferrari in 2024 and take on the title of Technical Director, Car Concept. Brown is in the seventh year of his tenure at McLaren, having joined the operation in late 2016 In addition, Giuseppe Pesce has been named Director, Aerodynamics & Chief of Staff, with his role – reporting into Prodromou – aimed at supporting the running of the aero department. Speaking about the various changes, Brown said: “It was something that was in the works since late last year, in the sense of [I] wasn’t happy with the pace of development of our car. Obviously we were working [through] driver-related issues, which kind of grabbed the headlines. Meanwhile, I don’t think we were developing at the pace that we needed to. ANALYSIS: McLaren hit the reset button in a bid to revive their F1 hopes “We had a Team Principal change at the end of the year and the first thing I did with Andrea was kind of help figure out, ‘Why aren’t we developing at the pace that we need to?’ He’s come up with a restructure, a model that really puts the three departments that you put together to build a fast race car: aero, concept and engineering. “Fortunately, Andrea’s very technical himself, so we have a technical Team Principal. Those three groups will come together and work hard to give us a fast race car, and I think they’ll have some impact yet this year.” McLaren scored their first points of the 2023 season with a double top 10 finish in Australia As for what McLaren can still achieve this season, and further down the road, Brown insisted that the team’s ambitions “haven’t changed”, while pointing to a new wind tunnel and simulator coming online in the near future. “We want to be a top four team over the course of the year, which will be tough, but we’ve got big ambitions – next year podiums, then we want to be winning races thereafter,” Brown commented, with McLaren sitting fifth in the 2023 constructors’ standings after three races. READ MORE: From Brawn GP’s fairytale to Aston Martin’s super start – The biggest year-on-year performance jumps in F1 history “We’ll have all of our technology infrastructure in place by the end of the year, our wind tunnel, our simulation, our CFD… All the things that we’ve been investing in will be up and running. “We’ll have all the people that we need in next year, so next year will be a bit of a hybrid of having everything that we need. Then going into the 2025 season we’ll have everything that we need, so there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to compete at the front at that point.” via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

2025 Toyota Tundra With Ultimate i-Force Max Hybrid Reviews

2025 Tundra takes a different approach to the full-size truck segment compared to its American competitors. The old V-8 engine is gone and replaced by a twin-turbo V-6 engine available in two power levels, including a hybrid version.

Toyota offers two different four-door cabins basically mid-size and large and all are wrapped in chiseled sheet metal. Rather than chasing the biggest towing and hauling ratings.

One of the online media sites of toyota car enthusiasts toyotasuvmodels.com model revealed that: 2025 Toyota Tundra seems content with more moderate numbers that should still satisfy most light truck buyers. The coil-spring rear suspension gives the Tundra a degree of modesty, and a host of off-road features and packages ensure good performance when you leave the road.

The Tundra's latest cabin is much better than before, especially in the luxurious upper trim levels, but it still doesn't meet Ram and Ford standards. Strong and smooth powertrain, bold styling, smoother coil spring suspension.

What's New for 2025?

Toyota has discontinued the TRD Sport package from the Tundra, the rear-wheel drive version of the TRD Off-Road. The slick Solar Octane paint finish will also no longer be available in 2025.

There is a new TRD Rally optics package and the SR5 has electrically adjustable front seats as standard.

An electric tailgate is now available on the SR5 and standard on all trim levels above, front massage seats are now available on Platinum and Capstone models, and the 1794 Edition gets a unique embossed tailgate.

Interior

While the current Tundra is much better than the previous generation in terms of material quality and design, it doesn't bring anything new or revolutionary to the full-size truck segment. The interior is rather monotonous and features some hard plastics here and there.

Moving up the equipment hierarchy, there are the usual upgrades in materials and equipment, culminating in semi-aniline leather seats from the top-end Capstone models, American walnut interior trim, acoustically laminated side windows, and a head-up display.

The dashboard has a bold yet purposeful design, and the wide center console has a gearshift bin and plenty of storage space. Analog gauges and a small driver information screen are standard, but the highest trim level has a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

The extended cab (also called Double Cab) is available with a 6.5- or 8.1-foot cargo bed, while the longer Crew Cab (also called CrewMax) is offered with a 5.5- or 6.5-foot cargo bed.

Opting for the shorter cab won't affect the comfort of the front row, but it will reduce rear seat legroom from 41.6 inches in the Double Cab to just 33.3 inches.

Engine

The Tundra offers three powertrains, all based on a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 engine. In the base SR model, the engine produces 348 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque; otherwise, the engine produces 389 horsepower and 479 pound-feet. The third option is a 473-horsepower hybrid.

All use a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. The Tundra with all-wheel drive is a part-time drivetrain; there is no full-time system like on competing trucks.

Towing and Payload Capacity

The Tundra can tow a maximum of 12,000 pounds. While sufficient, that rating makes it the least capable truck in the half-ton class. The Ford F-150 leads with a 14,000-pound rating, followed by the Chevrolet Silverado's 13,300 and the Ram 1500's 12,750. The Toyota's max payload is 1940 pounds, far behind Ford's 3250-pound rating.

Safety

All Tundras are equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 driver assistance technology, which includes automatic high beams, lane departure warning with steering assist, and more.

Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Trailer Detection is standard on Limited models and above. For more information on the Tundra's crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.

Key safety features include:

Standard forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking

Standard lane departure warning and lane keeping assist

Standard adaptive cruise control

Price

The price of the 2025 Toyota Tundra is expected to start around $42,000 and go up to $65,000 depending on the trim and options.

SR $42,000 (est)

SR5 $48,000 (est)

Limited $54,000 (est)

Platinum $64,000 (est)

1794 Edition $65,000 (est)

Top Tips for Buying Toyota Cars for Sale: What to Look For

When considering the purchase of a Toyota vehicle, prospective buyers often face a range of choices and factors that can influence their decision. Toyota car accessories online are renowned for their reliability, performance, and value, making them a popular option in the automotive market. To ensure a satisfying purchase, it’s essential to approach the buying process with a well-informed strategy. Here are some crucial tips for buying Toyota cars for sale that can help guide you through this process.

Understanding Your Needs

Before starting your search for a Toyota vehicle, it’s important to clearly define your needs and preferences. Consider factors such as the type of vehicle that best suits your lifestyle—whether it’s a sedan, SUV, truck, or hybrid. Assess your typical driving habits, the number of passengers you usually transport, and any specific features you require. Understanding your needs will help narrow down your options and ensure that you select a Toyota model that aligns with your expectations.

Researching Models and Features

Toyota offers a diverse range of models, each with its own set of features and specifications. Researching these models in detail will provide insights into their unique attributes and performance capabilities. Look into aspects such as fuel efficiency, safety features, technology options, and interior comfort. Comparing different models will help you identify which one offers the best combination of features and value for your needs. Additionally, reading reviews from current owners and automotive experts can provide valuable perspectives on the pros and cons of each model.

Checking Vehicle History and Condition

If you’re considering buying a pre-owned Toyota, it’s essential to check the vehicle’s history and condition. Obtain a detailed vehicle history report to verify its past ownership, accident history, and service records. This report can reveal important information about the car’s maintenance and whether it has been involved in any major incidents. Additionally, thoroughly inspect the vehicle’s exterior, interior, and mechanical components. Look for signs of wear and tear, such as dents, scratches, or rust, and ensure that all systems and features are functioning properly. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic can provide an objective assessment of the vehicle’s condition.

Evaluating Pricing and Financing Options

Pricing is a key factor when buying a Toyota, whether new or used. Research the market value of the specific model you’re interested in to ensure you’re paying a fair price. Online tools and resources can provide estimates based on factors like the vehicle’s age, mileage, and condition. For new Toyota cars, consider the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) and check for any current promotions, incentives, or discounts. When it comes to financing, explore different options such as loans, leases, or payment plans. Compare interest rates and terms from various lenders to find the most favorable financing arrangement for your budget.

Verifying Warranty and Service Coverage

Toyota vehicles are known for their durability, but it’s still important to verify warranty and service coverage before making a purchase. For new cars, review the manufacturer’s warranty, including the duration and coverage of both the basic and powertrain warranties. Understanding what is covered and what is not can help you make an informed decision about the vehicle’s long-term value. For used Toyotas, inquire about any remaining warranty coverage and consider purchasing an extended warranty if available. This added protection can provide peace of mind and safeguard against unexpected repairs.

Test Driving the Vehicle

A test drive is a crucial step in the buying process, allowing you to experience the vehicle firsthand. During the test drive, pay attention to the car’s handling, acceleration, braking, and overall comfort. Test various driving conditions, such as highway and city driving, to evaluate the vehicle’s performance in different scenarios. Assess the visibility, noise levels, and ease of use of the controls and infotainment system. The test drive provides an opportunity to ensure that the Toyota meets your expectations and feels right for you.

Considering Resale Value

Toyota vehicles are known for their strong resale value, which can be an important consideration for future planning. Research the resale value of the specific model you’re interested in to gauge its long-term value. Vehicles with high resale value typically retain their worth better over time, which can be advantageous if you plan to sell or trade in the car later. Factors such as the model’s popularity, reliability, and condition can influence its resale value.

Assessing Seller Reputation

Whether you’re buying from a dealership or a private seller, assessing the seller’s reputation is important. For dealerships, check their customer reviews and ratings to gauge their reliability and customer service. A reputable dealership should have positive feedback from previous buyers and a transparent sales process. If buying from a private seller, verify their credibility by asking for references and conducting a thorough background check. Ensure that the seller provides accurate information about the vehicle and is willing to answer any questions you may have.

Making an Informed Decision

Once you’ve completed your research, test drives, and evaluations, it’s time to make an informed decision. Consider all the factors you’ve gathered, including the vehicle’s condition, features, price, and financing options. Weigh the pros and cons of each option and determine which Toyota model best aligns with your needs and budget. Trust your instincts and choose a vehicle that you feel confident and comfortable with.

Conclusion

Buying a Toyota car involves careful consideration and research to ensure that you make a well-informed decision. By understanding your needs, researching models, checking vehicle history, evaluating pricing and financing options, verifying warranty coverage, and assessing the seller’s reputation, you can navigate the buying process with confidence. A thorough test drive and consideration of resale value further contribute to making a satisfying purchase. With these tips in mind, you can enjoy the benefits of owning a reliable and well-suited Toyota vehicle for years to come.

'Encouraging and Exciting to See Progress': Lewis and George Preview Imola

The Formula One paddock has arrived in Imola for the first European race of the 2024 season. After the first quarter of the campaign saw the team head to the Middle East, Australia, and Asia, there is renewed excitement in the air with this weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix on the horizon.

Last time out saw the team bring the first round of upgrades to Miami, with more planned to arrive on W15 in a busy few weeks. This weekend starts a run of six races in eight weeks, and both Lewis and George have been impressed with the efforts of those back at the Brackley and Brixworth factories to bring the developments to the car. Lewis said: "The energy in the team is amazing. They are so resilient. Even though they've been knocked down several times, they continue to keep pushing. There's a long way to go, but I'm excited for the developments that are coming. It's always a fun process to try out different things to see what works and what doesn't. We had a step at the last race, a step at this race, and more to come in the pipeline." George added: "It's been impressive to see how the team have come together, putting in so many hours to bring the developments and make the car quicker. The morale or motivation has not dipped at all. Everyone is motivated to bring us back to the top."

While the attitude of those at the factory has left an impact on our drivers, so too has the comfort of knowing that the progress of W15 itself is heading in the right direction, even if the solution may not be an instant one. Lewis said: "We've found more of a North Star in terms of what we need to do. It just takes time. All we can do is make the most out of what we have in front of us. It's a patience game. The fact we do have a direction forwards means we're testing things on the simulator, and that leaves you itching to get those bits [on the car]. We need all hands on deck, and we have that already." George added: "It's clear the direction we need to head, but that platform to develop is what keeps people motivated. We have a clear direction. We overstepped the changes we made with this car. We now just need to reign it back in and find that happy medium. We need to find that step that will bring us into that fight with the guys at the front."

That journey will start this weekend at Imola, and a return to the usual race weekend format after two sprint weekends will help us achieve that. George said: "The return to this format has come at a good time. When you are trying to get on top of your car and test things, only having one practice session has put us on the back foot a little bit. We are excited to get back to a standard weekend." While the team's start to the season has been more challenging than we hoped for, there has been much to celebrate for our friends at Mercedes High Performance Powertrains, with three podiums so far in 2024, including Lando Norris' triumph in Miami two weeks ago. Lewis said: "The engine is great, and the team [at Brixworth] continue to do an amazing job in terms of developing that technology. In terms of the hybrid era we have been right at the top in terms of development rate. We are working as hard as we can to rectify the other areas of the car. We will keep our heads down, stay focused and do the best possible job."
