This Week (x2) in Tomarrymort (8 – 21 November 2024)

Hello! We have three multi-chaptered fics finishing this week, highlighted below. In addition, I made a rec list for Tomarrymort Necrophilia Fics 💀🤍 in support of the Tomarrymort Necro Fest hosted by @magical-menagerie-server, which kicks off in January.

Completed Fic:

Memories of a Killer by @chemfreak89 (M, 47k, complete) Age catches up with everyone. The infamous serial killer Voldemort now spends his time reading newspapers and making trips to the local library in search of a new crime novel. But one day he makes an interesting new acquaintance that shakes his quiet life and rekindles old flames and unknown desires. What quickens me is the violence in thee by @i-dream-of-libraries (M, 17k, complete) Harry is sold at auction to a man who is clearly in some kind of disguise - Lord Riddle isn't as charming as he looks, and the way he looks at Harry... A Regency AU inspired by the magnificent artwork of @stolenviolet. If I were you by @onehitpleb (E, 9k, complete) It is 1945 and Tom is eighteen, freshly graduated, and working a non-reputable job as a store clerk in Knockturn Alley. Somehow, he grows attached to the worst sort of person - an idiot.

In addition, a recap of the author notes from last week! (Please feel free to add some extra context to your fic update in the reblog, such as a little bit about the chapter(s) updated, and I’ll throw it in the update for next week!)

A Simple Request by @shyinsunlight (E, 70k, WIP) “As for the new chapter of A Simple Request, Harry tries and (unsurprisingly) fails to keep his personal life private. Some are having the time of their life, some others, not so much. Lifts can take you up, but going down is more interesting.” Wish by @sri-verse (E, 3k, WIP) “Wish is set after Harry's fifth year where he gets the ownership of Bellatrix's vault along side the Black vault. Looking at a gold goblet, he remembers his childhood wish of buying a gold cauldron and brings back Helga Hufflepuff's cup with him to fulfill that desire, unaware that he has freed the horcrux living in it.” To the Hilt by @izharmilgram (E, 28k, WIP) “To The Hilt is a royal arranged marriage au featuring nontraditional a/b/o, political schemes, ancient greek and abrahamic religion references, feral harry potter, and lots of power play and worship. It's neither only tomarry or only harrymort, but tomarrymort—meaning the core relationship is Tom/Harry/Voldemort. This includes Tom/Voldemort.” we made universes out of bitten lips and broken hands by @boyneptunee (M, 50k, WIP) “The consequences of Harry's Time Travel seem inconsequential, at first. Until they stare right back at him with vicious eyes. There's trouble brewing in every direction, and the Future is not as certain and set in stone as one might think.” Time Stumbler by @wintumnly (T, 102k, WIP) “Harry is stuck in 1937 and spends the holidays with almost-eleven-year-old Tom Riddle. On the first day of Christmas, they both anxiously wait for Tom's Hogwarts letter together. Fluff, humor, and Tom Riddle is not good with feelings." 7 by @moontearpensfic (E, 44k, WIP) “Harry goes back in time to raise Tom AU: the boys discuss what might have happened to make Voldemort go to "sleep."” Anytime, Anywhere, Always by @moontearpensfic (E, 22k, WIP) “Harry corrupts Tom AU: Tom and Harry celebrate Christmas--and something more! Your Wish, My Command by @moontearpensfic (E, 8k, WIP) “Hinny adopts Tom AU: Tom finally gets Harry to crack. 🔥”

[thewritcrinme]

The w o r d s m i t h knows that the pen is mightier than the sword, for it shapes minds and moves hearts. -- ChatGPT (bc I couldnt find a good quote so chatty helped me out here)

Lila Pitts blog (small hiatus) || Billy Hargrove blog ||

Some rules:

I'm 30+ working full time and being a full time single parent. I am constantly stressed and I just want to write to have fun and unload my stress. I was going to do a fancy google docs for my muses, but it just didn't work out. But short and sweet:

Be 21+ to interact. Just have fun. I love MxM ships, they're my comfort ships. I ship all my peeps with chemistry and the whole purpose for plots is to end up shipping romantically. If you're not cool with that, no worries I won't force you. I'm just a huge shipwhore.

My writing will involve dark themes - please be wary of that. I don't tag anything either so im sorry. Again, I just want to have fun. Writing is supposed to be for fun. I hope we get to write/plot/brainstorm.

Canon and OC muses under the cut. I need to work on them, but for now just have a short list to see who i'm planning on bringing in.

Merlin - Immortal- Pansexual - Verse dependent .

Powerful Warlock The last Dragonlord **Because he's immortal, I can fit him into any verse. In modern times, I have it that he's a professor teaching History. I am so prepared for reincarnation plots, or even normal professor x student plots if you're into that trope.

Killian Jones - 40 - Bisexual - Verse dependent.

Known as 'Captain Hook' in all the fairy tales. Wasn't born a villain. Abandoned by both his parents. Hell bent on revenge for 200 years and because of that magic, he has kept his youthful appearance.

He'd fit into any verse, be it modern or fantasy. He's a pirate from a fairy tale.

Leopold Fitz - 35 - Bisexual - Verse dependent

-Smartest man ever. Or at least on AoS. -Genius engineer, part of S.H.I.E.L.D. at the Sci-Tech department. -Sarcasm and wit makes up for the lack of muscles, but he's a fighter and will fight to protect his friends and family. Had an abusive dad and a mother who wasn't always there. Grew up to be one of the brightest minds.

Can fit into any fandom - supernatural or normal.

James Beaufort - 23 - Pansexual - Verse dependent

Trust fund baby with a bit of arrogance. However it only comes from the fact that he hides the abuse he endures from his father.

sports and partying, a way he tends to spend his time when he doesn't want to be home.

Nothing that money can't buy; He's a smartass, but once you get through that exterior of arrogance and narcissim, you'll see he's just a kid trying not to anger daddy who will hurt his mother as a way to hurt him.

college/small town plots as well as enemies to lovers trope for this babe? yes?

Wynonna Earp - 40 - Pansexual - Hunter- Verse dependent

Literally the female version of Dean Winchester. Except she protects the Ghost Triangle which she calls home from all Supernatural beings. Has a child, who she had to give away to protect her from the Earp curse. Stays behind to help the sheriff protect her home. loves and cares for her sister dearly, and truly just needs a happy ending for herself but she believes she doesn't deserve it.

Supernatural plots for sure !

Dean Winchester - 40- homosexual - Hunter - Verse dependent.

The ending we all saw didn't happen. Dean and Sam grow up to be old and continue hunting with Castiel as their guardian angel. However, in my verses, he's alive and doing well. Just like wynonna earp, his job is to protect people he cares about and write his own damn ending. Not the one that was written for him.

Supernatural plots for sure, crossover with everyone as long as he gets to be his pie-lovin' monster killin, sarcastic, witty self.

Judith Grimes - 18 - IMPORTANT - she is too young for anything NSFW however I chose to write her simply because I wanted the Grimes family legend to go on. Warrior, fighter, kick ass walker hunter out there to save the world. Verse dependent, will need heavy plotting if things were to get serious in a romantic type of way. Simply bc this teenage girl is out there trying to live as opposed to finding love. So plotting is a must!

Rhiannon Lewis - 28 - Pansexual - contemplating using her or Olivia Cooke-

Sweet serial killer. That's it. That's the plot. I love all the slasher writers coming around. We can do so much murder-esque writing. But I'd love to do something cannon. Someone be AJ to my Rhiannon?

Sam Carpenter (Loomis) - Melissa Barrera - 28 - Scream franchise.

You all, the plots and AUs we can do with Sam. Please let me know if you'd like to plot anything out. Basically the daughter of the notorious serial killer Billy Loomis. Haunted by her father's past.

Ace Hardy - 29 - Nancy Drew fandom- Alex Saxon FC- verse dependent, more on him soon

Veronica Mars - 40 - Kristen Bell FC -Private Eye- verse dependent

Can we pretend that thing didn't happen at all? We know what i'm talking about, right?

ORIGINAL CHARACTERS

Avery Thomson - Saoirse Ronan FC- 30 - Pansexual

-Girl likes peace. She is shy, she is insecure, she is lonely, but at times she doesn't mind it. She's awkward, but she has great ideas she'd love to let out. Yet no finance to invest in any ideas, so she started a podcast. Works as a secretary for a big company on the weekdays and then works on her podcast during the weekends. She's just waiting for a bit of excitement in her life.

open to any plots really!

Michael Wilson - Andrew Garfield FC- Professor of History- 40

Quiet, shy, but very hard working. Teaches History, loves history, basically a history nerd. Which is why it can open up possibilities to supernatural plots or just rom-com plots.

Damian Miller- 52- CEO-Wentworth Miller FC- Homosexual

Hard working, grew up to provide, but he's always been empty. Very old school and traditional, but that's because he has never found a reason to break the rules.

I'm thinking a tragic trope for him, being a closeted gay who could never fight for the man he loved so he ended up marrying the woman his parents chose. Had 2 children with her, and yet he's never been at peace. He's also my oldest muse if you were interested.

age gap trope/ boss/employee trope honestly whatever you'd like.

Blake Hawthorne- Pansexual- 24-Tom Blythe FC

Troublemaker. Gotten arrested a few times. Loves chaos, probably lands in trouble a lot but that's because he never had a secure homelife. parents were always gone and out of the picture so he had free reign to everything. Probably the type to join protests because he knows he'd get away with it. Freedom fighter for the under privileged which is ironic since he comes from a big family.

He'd be a fun muse. Any trope would do.

David Miller -Archie Renaux FC- 29- pan -

Manipulative little shit that causes too much mischief. The typical bad boy, wants things his way or no way. Overly confident, and thinks he's the best.

Under all of that is just a lot of insecurity. Literally tho open for any trope!

[somereaderinblue]

It's already Day 6 of Trigun Fanfiction Appreciation Week. I don't want any regrets so here goes: I give you a VW mpreg rec list. If this isn't your cup of tea, that's fine. If it is:

what I am trying to cultivate… by Altered-Havoc (Altered_Karma)

100/10, I've lost count on how many times I reread this. Both of them have suffered & after everything, they finally get a soft epilogue. Angst? Who dat? This is 80% comfort to me.

Surprise, Wolfwood! It's A Bouncing Baby Plant! by @attackofthezee, rated T

WW returns from the dead & there's a surprise waiting for him. 3 guesses as to what it is.

Until The End by squishycake, rated E

“Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of this story.” – Richard Siken A bittersweet fic wherein an aging WW makes peace with his mortality but not before Vash two new lives.

Innocent Souls by NaughtyJacks (JackalJamboree), rated T

In a quiet moment, Vash asks WW to bless the two blessings he carries. Vash knows WW is still keeping secrets from him, but he also knows that he's decided to choose Vash & his kids over them. And that only makes him love him more.

o' light, won't you shine (upon souls of youth) by seventhgiver (fifthgiver), rated T

Another bittersweet fic wherein WW still faces his canon death, but Meryl & Milly are there to support Vash through thick & thin. There's angst, but it really does have a happy ending.

dear star and spring bud, my preachers by elemmacil, rated T

Post-canon AU where VW have a child. Does a great job at depicting their awe over the fact that they were allowed to make this dream their reailty.

I've Taken to Calling Him Nico by mak000000, rated G

Short one-shot wherein Vash tells WW that the little boy he assumed to be Lina's baby brother is in fact someone's kid. 3 guesses as to who's the father.

i’d give you the sun (i’d give you the sun) by justotherdays, rated M

Set post-Trimax, full of nothing but tenderness & a much deserved happy ending.

This is not humanity's song, this is ours by O_ToJoy, rated M & T

An AU where Knives's victory is short-live & WW has to pick up the pieces, one of said pieces being Nikolai. He's 16 years too late, but that won't stop him from trying.

Talk About Timing by lucifergooseifer (Lucifergooseifer), rated M

A small detour causes everything to NOT go according to plan. BUT! Nothing (too) bad happens, I swear.

A Black Angel at Your Side by hazeltea (madlovescience), rated E

I would've listed this at the top but then I read it, cried, & slapped it here. I want to devour this but also throw up. On a side note, I like how this fic depicts Livio's still somewhat religious view on Plants & how said view is deeply embedded in NML's culture, which causes conflict with the Earth Federation. There's also a Meryl POV chapter where she justifiably remains wary of Livio/Razlo, which really individualizes her. Also has fanart.

Flower Dew, Deep Waters, Desert Thirst & Use My Heart by cloudbureiku, rated E & M

Aside from smut, there's also tender caring & non-sexual intimacy, all of which are three of many reasons why VW is our bread & butter.

Lavender by @vaporame

Gotta love it when Plant pregnancy involves markings & telepathic bonds. Totally makes breaking the news to your s/o less nerve-wracking. Their other VW works are also recommended.

Modern AUs

To Build a Home by hielhue, rated G

Everyone is alive & happy, and WW narrates how he met Vash, fell in love & started a family.

cause everything else is a substitute for your love by @sascake, rated M

VW have a bad history when it comes to using protection despite one of them ironically owning a sex shop. They're not perfect but they make it work.

little moment verse by justotherdays, rated G & M

VW's journey as parents. In the second fic in the series, the author isn't afraid to write how some parents, no matter how much they love their child, still inevitably struggle. Which is why it's important to have support.

devil on your shoulder (or the angel laying on your tummy) & paint the town red by cloudbureiku, not rated & G

The former guest stars the one & only Kuroneko while the latter shows us why it really isn't advisable for heavily pregnant parents to sit on the floor.

[faustianbroker]

TIMING: Recent LOCATION: Various PARTIES: Leviathan (@faustianbroker) & Jonas (@thesilentmedium) SUMMARY: Jonas helps Levi out with a possessed taxidermy bear. It goes about as smoothly as you'd expect. CONTENT WARNINGS: None

—

Jonas gasped and shut the door as quickly as he had opened it. That was a bear, a very very big bear, His eyes were wide as he felt the taxidermied beast slamming against the door. Blue pulled herself from his shadow and got between her boy and the door, making sure to stick her head out from behind him to stare at the strange man who was talking with Jonas. He smelt weird and Blue didn’t like it, her master didn’t seem to pick up on her apprehensive behavior though turning to talk to the other man. He cleared his throat and wiped his hands on his jeans before finally signing to the other, “Well um I don’t… I don’t think that’s a normal ghost.” 

The medium had been raised learning everything about all types of ghosts out there from Tatty Bogles to Poltergeists, and he had a good guess about what was in there but he was a little worried about how to deal with it. If he was right then he was particularly useless in this scenario, which seemed to be the case often for him since coming back to Wicked’s Rest. It wasn’t a great feeling to be experiencing on top of the small adrenaline rush he had received from just managing to keep the bear from breaking out. He brought a hand up to his chest in a hopeless attempt to get his heart to beat a little slower. 

“I um I can’t put that through a seance.” He gestured back at the door, “I’m sorry Mr. Jones, we’ll have to burn the bear….Somehow.” Jonas wasn’t sure exactly how the two were going to manage such a feat given the size of the thing and their current location, but he knew this particular pest wouldn’t go away any other way. 

—

Brows furrowed, Chuck signed back, What do you mean, not a normal ghost? He wasn’t well versed in whatever came after folks died, never having given the idea much thought. Burn it? came his response, hands moving as his gaze lifted to the door. We can’t burn it in there. He didn’t want to burn it at all, that thing was worth a lot of money, but—

The door rattled in its frame and the demon shook his head, gesturing for the young man to move. We’ll have to draw it away. They were in Nightfall Grove and thankfully had the cover of darkness on their side, but they’d have to lure it into Mossthorn forest to be able to burn it without causing a huge ruckus.

Any ideas on how to get it to follow us and only us?

—

Jonas scratched the back of his head trying to think of how to explain the semi-ghost inside. “Well it is a T S U K O M O G A M I, “ He spelled out the name of the creature but didn’t really expect Chuck to know of it, “ It is um more of a demon but not quite a demon. It is what the Japanese call a Y O K A I. If it was a full demon then we would be very much out of luck. I uh do not know how to deal with those. I did not go through the training. ”  He didn’t even make it into an exorcist but he was a little glad for that, his mother had taken him to train once he was the right age to start while his father took over training Lil. Jane had gone off to be a demonologist but when she came back she was different, she didn’t feel like the same Jane who had been excited to learn. She was angry and definitely more reckless, Jonas couldn’t help but think whatever training she had gone through had warped her in some way. 

The young man was brought out of his thoughts by Levi telling him to move over, he complied and paused at the next question. He brought a hand up to his chin taking a moment to think before his eyes moved to settle on the dog by his side, “Well…” Blue seemed to notice Jonas’ eyes on her and couldn’t help her ears going flat against her head as she turned it to lock eyes with the young man. She was the same size as the bear currently banging on the door and probably the same strength, she could also out run it rather easily she would be the safest pick to get it to follow.

“If we can get it to be mad at Blue she can lead it to where you want it to go and we can catch up. Maybe. But she can keep its attention on her.. I hope.” Blue’s tail went flat and she let out a whine, she could do what Jonas was asking of her but she didn’t want to leave him alone with a stranger. The nights lately had been full of strange eyes following her boy home and the fact they were in a place that was permanently dark did not make her feel better. Sure it was more comfortable, the sun had never been her favorite thing, but her boy already couldn’t hear. She turned her gaze on the strange man trying to judge whether or not she could trust him. 

—

Something about that huge fucking dog was offputting. Besides it being huge. It was too… smart. When it looked at him, Chuck felt like he was being judged. And considering his sordid past with the living creatures of this little planet, he couldn’t help but wonder if it had any possibility of being a positive judgment. 

Still, in this moment, he was being truthful. He had no qualms with the kid, he’d just needed a ghost person to get rid of whatever was in his bear. Now, that just happened to include having to lure it out of town and set it ablaze.

Shame Zack wasn’t here, this would have been a great chance for him to practice with his fire.

This thing, a kind-of-but-not-really-demon, whatever it was he’d spelled out that Chuck couldn’t be bothered to remember, needed to go. He kind of wished it was a demon, at least he’d know how to reason with one of his own. Alas, it seemed their only option was: Tell the dog to lead it out to M O S S T H O R N forest and keep it busy near the edge of the bog. I can drive us there in my car. Will take less than ten minutes.

—

Blue stared hard at the man, no this wouldn’t do, he was too strange. She flopped on the ground and let out a low whine and few reluctant barks that almost sounded like talking. “Blue please. I know you know what he said.” She huffed and rolled over, letting out a few low mumbles of protest. She didn’t know who this guy was but his shop smelled weird and he smelled weird and there was no way she was going to let her boy just get into a car with some man who had ‘sus’ written all over him. 

Jonas sighed and kneeled down so he could be face to face with the dog who was throwing a tantrum on the ground, “Blue, I will be okay. Mr. Jones is a nice man and I bet you could really show that bear in there whose boss.” The big dog rolled her head over to his foot and stared up into his eyes. “It will be okay, you can always beat him up later if it seems like he means harm.” Blue turned to look at the man who was stuck waiting, finally she relented and got up pushing her head against Jonas when he too stood up. 

“We will see you in M O  S S T H O R N okay?” Blue let out a low bark still unhappy with the situation but no longer stopping the plan in motion. 

—

With the beast appeased for now, Chuck motioned for Jonas to get out of sight, then opened the door. The taxidermy bear came roaring forth, beady eyes fixed on the hound that’s size rivaled its own, barreling toward Blue with a fury that made even Chuck feel a little uncertain. 

Once it was clear of the door, he quickly shut it again (and locked it) before ushering Jonas away from the scene as the two animals, for lack of a better term, took off down the side streets of Nightfall Grove.

The drive was not that long, as expected. Turning onto a dirt road that led into the woods and eventually dead-ended, Chuck put the car in park and opened the trunk. He needed a lighter and some propellant, both of which he kept in the boot of the vehicle—you never knew when you were going to need to set something on fire, after all! 

Taking point, Chuck began the trek toward the bog, stepping into the heavily forested area with some unease. With his hands occupied he couldn’t sign very well, but still managed to ask Jonas if he had a way of knowing Blue was nearby that didn’t involve hearing her. Not that he wouldn’t be able to hear the fucking bear, but that wouldn’t help Jonas at all.

—

Jonas couldn’t help the anxiety that started to bubble in him when he actually saw the bear running after Blue. He knew she was faster and smarter than the possessed taxidermy but it still wasn’t a good feeling to have to see something the same size as her chasing her down with the intent to harm her. He stood still, watching the two large forms disappear down the street till Mr. Jones caught his attention and led him away. 

Jonas was a little surprised that they didn’t even need to stop at the store first before entering the woods. Then again camping was a normal activity in Wicked’s Rest and maybe Mr. Jones was someone who enjoyed it. It certainly explained why he had such things so readily at hand in his trunk for setting things alight. He was also glad Mr. Jones seemed to know this area well, Jonas had been away too long to be of much use in navigating, the older man really must be an avid camper to this area. 

The only thing the younger man was really offering at this point was the fact that he acted like a beacon for Blue to follow. Thanks to their pact, the dog could find him no problem and thanks to her being part ghost he could hear her howls as she got closer. Jonas shuffled up to Mr. Jones’ side to talk properly, “Blue is um getting closer. Would it be alright to ask how you plan to set it on fire?” He wasn’t doubting the other man he just thought a little heads up as to what the other man was planning would be good for keeping them both safe and for keeping himself out of the way if he was hindering the other. 

—

Swamp gas, kid. Tons of it around here. Get that thing in the midst of it… He held up the bottle of propellant and gave it a squeeze, ejecting a stream of liquid for a brief moment that must’ve surged a good twenty feet ahead of them or so. Then toss the lighter while you and the dog get the hell out of the way. For his own part, the fire wouldn’t be anything a quick, violent shift couldn’t take care of—if needed. Ideally, he’d be just as out of harm’s way as the other two. 

The thudding of giant paws in the distance alerted Chuck to their approach, and quickly following was the thunderous crack of young trees that bent and snapped as the beastly creatures shoved their way through the underbrush toward the pair. He motioned for Jonas to stick behind him, trotting forward, noting that the ground was getting softer. We’re close, he signed, smelling the bog before he saw it.

—

“Swamp gas?” That was a new method but he supposed it would work. Jonas was glad the older man seemed to know what he was doing, feeling a little better when he saw just how far the propellant went in front of them. “I am sorry about your bear. It is a very nice piece.” Terrifying now that it was moving but the bear was beautifully taxidermied. The fact it was so well made was probably the reason the Tsukomogami was able to make it so powerful. 

Jonas nodded, moving himself behind Mr. Jones. He could smell the bog before the bigger man even signed, his hand was already up to cover his nose at the foul stench. His black sweater did little to actually keep the stink out, and he would be glad when they could leave this place though he wouldn’t say so out loud. His mind refocused on the task as soon as he felt Blue nearby. They were closing in on a clearing and it didn’t take long for the large dog to burst through the tree lines. Jonas quickly put his hand over the mark on his pinky, Blue disappeared in an instant fading through the shadows and popping up next to her boy’s side. The bear burst into the clearing, stopping and looking confused at the lack of the black dog. 

—

Yeah, me too, Chuck signed back, looking a bit forlorn, but he did follow it with a shrug. Suppose it’s better than getting mauled one day. What he’d done to piss the thing off he couldn’t say, but then maybe it didn’t need a reason to be angry. Outside of being a ghost, anyway. Chuck would certainly be pissed if he was a ghost.

Brows raised as Chuck watched the huge dog suddenly vanish, a little taken aback. Now that was a neat trick, he thought, nearly forgetting why they were there. That is, until the haunted taxidermy bear in question came barrelling into the clearing after the canine that’d just voip’d, coming to a slow stop and looking around, just as perplexed as the man that was pointing a bottle of accelerant at it. “Real sorry, Smokey,” Chuck said aloud, getting its attention as desired and smirking. “Come on, then, show me what you got!”

The possessed bear roared and swiped its claws in the air for a moment before lumbering toward them on all fours. It was fast, and once it was within range, Chuck squeezed the bottle fiercely. It doused the creature, but didn’t slow it down. Which was fine, that wasn’t the idea, anyway. Casting the emptied bottle aside, the demon dove out of the way as the bear came within biting range, hoping that kid and his pooch had done the same. As the bear fought its own inertia, trying to slow down enough to turn back on them, Chuck pulled out his zippo and flicked it on, then hurled it at the beast.

It was quite a sight, watching the thing go up in flames. Smelled bad, though. Burning fur, maybe? Or perhaps that was just the swamp…

—

As soon as Blue was back by Jonas’ side she grabbed him and pulled him to a hopefully safe distance to let the man with the lighter take care of the rest. Jonas almost left his spot when the bear lunged for Chuck, As soon as the bear was caught on fire and was writhing among the bog, Joans came out from hiding to stand by Chuck, hand still covering his nose as the stench was now worse due to the burning fur. It didn’t take long for the howling to stop, the spirit seemingly burning with the flames that were now dancing on a still corpse. 

“I am sure there is another bear out there for you somewhere.” Jonas opted for talking rather than moving his hand away from his face, the wool was the only shield between him and the horrid smells. He turned to look at Chuck, hand offering a comforting pat to the older man’s shoulder. “But um maybe we should call the fire department?” He wasn’t sure how good it was to just let something that large burn out even if it was in a bog.

—

Chuck laughed, appreciating the kid’s sensitivity to his ‘situation’, if you could call it that. He was out one very beautiful (but cranky) taxidermied bear, but at least nothing else had been possessed or ruined. 

The fire question was one that the demon hadn’t even considered, head cocking to the side as he watched the flames like higher into the sky. No, he finally signed in response, it’ll burn out on its own. Plus I don’t want to answer any questions. The real answer was that he didn’t really care if it set fire to the place or not—eventually someone would notice, someone who wasn’t him, and it would become their problem. 

Or it would just fizzle out, as he’d suggested. It was in fate’s hands, now. 

Come on, it reeks out here, let’s get going. I’ll drop you back off at home. Thanks for the… ghost dog assist.

[tetsuwan-atom]

VERSE - A S C E N D E D

This verse is considered to be a ‘Future’ verse of Tetsuwan ATOM canon, many years into the future, following most of the canon events of the main story.

Faceclaim is Dainsleif from Genshin Impact.

Verse Tag : BOWEN : M I G H T Y  A T O M

Years into the future, Bowen loses his homeworld after a fight against a form from an alternate future, disconnected from everything he knew and held dear, bringing to him an adventure that would lead to many discoveries, along with many hardships and battles.

One of which was against 'The Sun', a sentient star that transcended universes, bent on making 'The Mighty Atom' bend at the knee.

The other was Urrumuul, the embodiment of the Void, in it's most hellish form. In the middle of the second battle when all hoped seemed lost, when history seemed to turn to repeating itself in a stalemate that would likely result in their deaths once more, yet in Bowen's determination and rage he found a connection beyond that of the Ethereals. Whether it was because of being an Atomite or... something even he didn't know himself at the time, but the power of the multiverse, the energy of everything and everything, came to him, it transformed him, it changed him.

The young man once known as Bowen Chuuno had shed. Out of the ashes rose a new individual.

Sure, he was the same soul, but in the fight against Urrumuul he had grown to become a being far greater than Atom, even greater than Iro Yang, the very first Atomite, whose legend transpired across time and space as the closest Atomite to ever rival the original, until now.

It was in Bowen, the Atomite Prophecy had been fulfilled, the Mighty Atom arisen once more.

A god, in every sense, with the power to manipulate anything and everything, who could no longer be touchable by blade or force. Immortality was certain within him, he could travel wherever he wanted, without the need for any kind of technology. He could save everything and everyone, should he be in the right place at the right time.

The multiverse's 'Silver Bullet'... and one of the most fascinating subjects to ever be observed by the Ethereals.

But in the years of his maturity, he is still alone. A wanderer like the original, but with the opportunity to see everything, to experience everything, yet the yearning of touch still tugs at him, something he cannot recreate on his own. A yearning of companionship, an individual who could see past the power, the story, everything.. and see his very soul.

Bowen is still a kind, caring soul, potentially naive, even in this form, but in his experiences he can enlighten others.

He could even go back in time if he wanted to, but he knew that in itself was a mistake, the very mistake taken by the very being who brought this destiny in the first place, that version of himself whom sought to take it all by force.

It's hard to say how old he is now. He could have lived for nineteen years, fifty, a hundred, a thousand. Age does not even change how he looks, he remains in his youth, no matter how many centuries or millennia pass.

His aura conveys a presence most intimidating to those who are hostile, but deeply warm and welcoming to those innocent to him.

He is without a true home, a place that he could call his own. Maybe one day, he will find that new home, amongst the many, many stars of the multiverse.

Episode 184 : Concentration

"Traumatised, but full of pride..."

- Bashy

Thanks to the short length of some of the tracks, the total running time of this episode isn't as long as some others, but it's a high-potency forty-eight minutes! We start with one of the realest, toughest tracks I've heard in ages, low-tempo to make sure you catch every word, end on a new track by some of the most dedicated veterans in the culture, and hit some incredible notes between those two points. Let's get it going...

Playlist/Notes

Bashy : How Black Men Lose Their Smile

Wow. Stunning, 100% relatable song that everyone should sit down, listen to, then run it back and listen again. Bashy is absolutely flawless here, telling his story while also telling the stories of so many of us Black men who have grown up here. The production by Toddla T just adds to it, with the reggae-influenced beat calling back to the music that has been so prominent in Black British life, and the straight-to-camera video is starkly fitting. "Being Poor Is Expensive" is the title of the new album this track is drawn from, and also a plain statement of fact.

M Slago : Sonic Marvel (Ten City Flip)

"The 80's Beat Tape" coming out of FWMJ's "Producers I Know" collective/project was a ten-track collection of, as you'd expect, producers flipping 80s records into their own compositions. I can't say I remember the original that Nashville's M Slago chopped into this slowed, ominous track, but I do know that many years after the 2015 release of this tape which was recorded at least two years before that, this beat was used for "Finer Things" featuring Kyle Rapps. So nice, we got it twice!

Scarface : No Problem

Scarface's "Deeply Rooted" from 2015 is a quality LP that you should seek out if you can - more than likely, you'll need to fork out to buy a copy since it seems to have long disappeared from Spotify. The Houston icon was on his eleventh solo album here, and his one long verse is an aggressive statement of who he is, what he's about, and what/who he has no respect for, over a dark, grinding beat from Atlanta's KEY! (punctuation is part of the name).

Ghetts ft. Stefflon Don : Slumdog Millionaire

This Bollywood-accented cut from 2017 is such a killer, and an appropriate move coming from the UK where many of us grew up hearing it at least as part of the background growing up - Ghetts himself notes that it was that element that made this Nutty P beat stand out for him. Stefflon Don adds some flavour to the hook, but Ghetts takes centre stage on the mic for two tight verses. If you want more, 2018's "Ghetto Gospel : The New Testament" is the place to go.

GQ : Trap

A track I admit I'd overlooked on the "Rated Oakland" LP despite its position as the closer, this one definitely pulled me in when I went back to it for the first time in a while, ten years after the original release. I've cut it a little short here for the sake of pacing, but you'll get a long spoken word closing from GQ if you go to check the full album! The moody, dark production comes courtesy of Eric G of The Soul Council.

namesbliss : Last Week

I was totally unaware of this highly-skilled MC out of Kilburn, London, until he popped up on my IG feed - who says social media is good for nothing? His rapid-fire, witty, and clean flows are married up with smooth beats (this particular one produced by Scruz) that are miles away from what you generally hear in the grime genre - I've heard this described as "lo-fi grime" and that seems as good a label as any. It reminds of me what KwolleM started a good few years back with his "mellow grime" style, and it's nice to hear an MC like this with room to breathe on the track! This particular cut is a highlight from his latest LP "Lively Experience", which is one of my favourite purchases of the month.

Devin Morrison : The Blisselle

I played a vocal track by Devin Morrison on the podcast back on episode 153, but didn't appreciate until recently how prolific (as well as skilled) a producer he is! In just over two years he has released a twelve volume series of "Dream Lobby" collections, made up of work he didn't think fit a standard album format, and if you like modern, smooth, dreamy, and soulful production then you want to at least dip in if not collect the set. This cut is taken from "Dream Lobby Vol. IX", a seven-track delight from last autumn - so I thought I'd share it as we get ready to enter this one...

Ghostface Killah : The Forest

I had the chance to see The Alchemist live this month, and as he was playing a smoking set of some of his many, many production classics from a long career, he dropped this one - which I totally forgot he did! With all the cartoon characters engaged in legally questionable activities, this track from 2001's "Bulletproof Wallets" is very much like Ghost's take on the two "A Gangsta's Fairytale" tracks Ice Cube did back in the day.

Jeru The Damaja : One Day

Hits differently now, doesn't it? Short, pointed, and naming names, find this DJ Premier-produced dagger on Jeru's second LP, "Wrath Of The Math".

Kuartz & Dubbul O : War Cry

Dubbul O only recently released the "Stay Gold" EP with Cutterz and now he's back with the devastating production of Kuartz on the new "Shigurui" EP, giving us that boom-bap rawness. This is the opening track, with the Manchester duo giving us some Timberland and hoodie music for real. If you miss this style, pick up this LP to hear it being done very well indeed!

Clear Soul Forces : Insane

One of the more light-heartedly amusing moment of this month for the heavily-online Hip-Hop fan was when the great Questlove of The Roots, one of the most knowledgeable music heads in the entire world discovered that Clear Soul Forces existed - it appears he thought they were a new act, but they've been about for almost a decade! We all have things slip under our radars, and there's no shame - if Questlove can miss a talented group like this, then we all can! Anyway, I thought it was fitting to go all the way back to their first album, 2015's "Fab 5ive" for this banger. While most of their catalogue has been produced by Ilajide, who is also an MC, this LP was produced by fellow Michigan native NAMELESS, who has this one smashing while CSF explode lyrically all over the track. As an aside - Quest was of course gracious when everyone leapt in to correct him!

[Kut Masta Kurt] Motion Man : Play Dough (Instrumental)

Early-2000s, independent underground boom-bap business - and while I got this beat from these two Cali natives on the B-side of a 12" single, you can now get the entire set of instrumentals from the "Clearing The Field" LP on Bandcamp!

LL Cool J ft. Busta Rhymes : Huey In The Chair

The buzz around this album since it came out this month has been quite something, with most heads agreeing it's the best thing LL has done in years! "The FORCE" is almost entirely produced by Q-Tip, and the result is a triumph for these two giants from the borough of Queens. This track brings in Busta alongside LL, with both going ultra-Black while referring to the famous image of Huey Newton of the Black Panther Party in the peacock chair that still hits as hard today, over fifty years since it was taken. Definitely check the album if you've not heard it yet.

Slum Village ft. Little Brother : Where Do We Go From Here?

As you likely know, SV have been through many lineup changes over the years and as much as anything the name is a flag to rally under for Detroit's finest - with this track coming from 2010's "Villa Manifesto", an album which thanks to posthumous contributions actually features every member that had been in the group up to that time. The vibe here is kind of retro-futuristic Hip-Hop, with Young RJ on production, Samuel Beubien on string arrangements, and DJ Dez doing a phenomenal job scratching in all the separate lines of lyrics to create a spoken hook. Only two verses, but T3 and then the combination of Phonte and Big Pooh of LB do the business. 

Mr. Voodoo aka AGU : Crhyme Life

Alchemist on the beat again, with a dark, tense piece of production to go along with the killer bars of Mr. Voodoo, one-third of the highly-respected Natural Elements crew.  As far as I can tell, this was only ever released as a 12" single and I can't find it on the streaming services, but it's available used pretty inexpensively if you want to add some quality rhymes and early Alchemist production to your crates!

Dave East and Mike & Keys ft. Stacy Barthe : So Much Changed

You know you're getting on a bit when tunes you clearly remember growing up are being covered, sampled, and tributed! This track from this year's "APT 6E" album from Harlem's Dave East and the production duo Mike & Keys is a clear tribute to the 1994 release "Pain" by 2Pac, from the "Above The Rim" soundtrack. It's not just the sample, but the lyrical themes that hark back to that original song, particularly on the first verse, and it's well done. Multiple Grammy nominee Stacy Barthe blesses the hook with her vocals, which again are reminiscent of "Pain" but with her own flavour.

[Ice Cube, QD III] Yo-Yo : IBWin' With My CREWin' (Instrumental)

After starting the mix with this stripped down to just the drums and bass courtesy of Serato's "stems" feature, I was tempted to leave it like that but ended up bringing back the rest of the elements on this banging 90s beat from Yo-Yo's third album "You Better Ask Somebody". Yo-Yo first came to our attention on Ice Cube's first solo LP, as his foil on "It's A Man's World" before going on a strong four-album run from 1991-1996 - go and have a listen if you're not familiar!

The B Boys ft. Chuck D and Ice-T : Hello

A record I had no idea was coming, this is a true meeting of veterans, OGs of the artform. The B Boys are the original crew of Donald D, an MC you might know from his excellent late 80s-90s work as part of the Rhyme Syndicate, with Brother B and DJ Chuck Chillout completing the trio. Their original run was roughly 1983-1985, then they went separate ways before coming back together for a couple of EPs in 2022 and 2023, and then a full LP "We Get Down" this year, which this track is on! The Donald D-produced instrumental is heavily drum-centred, and in the best way, sounds like something that could have been on Ice-T's first LP, and leaves plenty of space for the vocals to be heard clearly - and the headliners bring along Ice-T and Public Enemy's Chuck D to provide full verses for a track that runs for over five minutes, a relative rarity these days. Abigail Culley's hook rounds it out nicely, and if you're anything like me, will stick in your head!

Please remember to support the artists you like! The purpose of putting the podcast out and providing the full tracklist is to try and give some light, so do use the songs on each episode as a starting point to search out more material. If you have Spotify in your country it's a great way to explore, but otherwise there's always Youtube and the like. Seeing your favourite artists live is the best way to put money in their pockets, and buy the vinyl/CDs/downloads of the stuff you like the most!

"Applying Pressure"

My seventh song that will sit on my list as one of the best J Cole songs will be “Applying Pressure”. This song is truly a potent and thought provoking work of art, released as part of Cole’s album “The off-Season”. This song has impressed me with its captivating lyrics and skillful word play, which is nothing new coming from J Cole. “Applying Pressure” is a song in which J Cole offers his listeners an introspective journey as they try to break down Cole’s lyrics. 

This track portrays J Cole’s drive for success and the difficulties he faced along the way. The title itself “Applying Pressure” is referring to the extreme pressure and the high standards that artists are held up to, especially those in the music industry. In Cole’s difficult years, just like any other person in the world he has felt jealousy of those who are better than him. But unlike many others, Cole decided to put energy into bettering himself, rather than bring down others. This is something that I personally have picked up from his song and have applied it to my life.

“Applying pressure” is one of thoseJ Cole song where you need a genius next to you to really understand one hundred percent of his output. For example, J Cole has a verse referencing Eminem saying “Just did the mental math and calculated my worth / S**t crazy, didn’t know I got more M’s than a Real Slim Shady video…”. This line is a play on the name of Eminem and his alter ego “Slim Shady”. Eminem’s nickname “Em” sounds the same as “M” which is the abbreviation for Million. Now, Eminem's lead single “The Real Slim Shady” has a music video where there are multiple Eminem’s being manufactured. His meaning behind this line is that he makes Millions, but that he has people trying to be like him and copy his style. Cole's word play is one of the many reasons I enjoy his music.

"Envy keep your pockets empty, so just focus on you", this line will top off this blog, it is saying that jealousy serves you no benefits, so it's better to just work on bettering yourself.

Thelreads, Vigilantes 83, Replies Part 1

!) “time for vigilantes! And last time we had Endeavor step back into the ring after he did fuck-all. Now let`s see the three-for-all taking place, on Chapter 83: Raging inferno.”-Endeavour steps back into the ring and proceeds to fuck it all up in the most dramatic and public-property damaging manner possible.

2) “Oh yeah Koichi, things are about to get ugly for you. Don`t worry, at least this Endeavor you still has a fighting chance, thank god it`s not the main-series one.”- And I just got back from seeing spider-verse and all its themes of variant Spider-Men too. Guess this week is all about alternate superheroes for me. 3) “Yeah, and no thanks to you, although you really wanted to do that. Sorry Endeavor, you`ll have to kill another person tonight, Koichi has some free time on his schedule.”- Luckily, Alt-Endeavour’s incompetent handling still resulted in him killing the actual bad guy on the scene, even by accident. 4) “Also, you paying attention Endeavor? Carrying her has not done anything to hamper him, he`s dodging McBee like there`s no tomorrow without breaking a sweat.”- In fairness, Alt-Endeavour is so blinded by rage that he literally didn’t notice the other attacker on the scene, leading to him barbequing him by accident. 5) “Huh.

You… you`re not gonna be blinded by rage against All Might and make something stupid, are you Endeavor?

Why do I even ask…”- One man’s stupidity is another vigilante’s accidental rescue.

6)  “Don`t worry Koichi, he`ll try to murder you regardless of you getting close or not. That`s the Endeavor specialty in this manga.”- He super-murdered Nomura who’s even further back than Koichi. Range is not Alt-Endeavour’s issue, self-control is. 7) “Hu- Wait- Are you going to push through? Against Endeavor? Who specializes in close combat and can stop your advance with his fire? Are you fucking High Koichi?”- Not yet he’s not. Had to build up enough charge to make the big leap. 8) “Now how the fuck he hasn`t noticed you? And what the fuck you mean out of sight? You`re right in front of him, he has a clear line of sight, that smoke can`t conceal you completely! Besides, if you don`t announce yourself as a hero isn`t he just going to think you`re another Vigilante?”- Alt-Endeavour’s perception checks are not as high as the Main one’s. That Flimsy smoke, the distance and his tunnel vision with All Might are all blinding him to the presence of anybody but Koichi on the scene, which is why he holds nothing back when exploding the street. 9) “Holy shit even McBee thought that was stupid, just goes to show how absurd that idea is. But even more absurd than that is that it`s gonna work, we wouldn`t end this manga with a Koichi barbecue, the author doesn`t have the guts.”- The problem with Koichi’s tactics is that if he’s not advertised his ability to fly as a regular part of his arsenal, then nobody will realise he can flee in three dimensions rather than two. Of course, in this regard, it hides that fact as a trump card ability, until Koichi’s most ready to put it into play and escape 10) “Endeavor, you`re not gonna try to snipe him from afar, are you?

Not the guy who specializes in dodging, right?

Endeavor please”- Doesn’t need to snipe him that accurately if he can just melt the asphalt underneath him and reduce the footing he can flee with. 11) “C`MON McBEE, IF YOU END UP GETTING HIT I`M GOING TO BLAME IT ON YOU.”-Feel free. It was Nomura’s own hubris that ran him into the literal line of fire and burned him badly for it, and he really has nobody but himself to blame – not that he won’t transfer his rage and humiliation over it against Koichi regardless. 12) “I don`t know what is worse, that Endeavor is again keeping his distance instead of directly engaging the target, or that he`s still missing all his shots, regardless of the fact Koichi is an expert dodger.”- He’s not using the big shots yet because he still sees Koichi as a scrub punk who’ll go down in a single hit, and so he doesn’t see the need to go all-out against him…which ceases to be the case once he sees the All Might hoodie and gets triggered. 13) “…

Endeavor… You- You didn`t got angry and blew a fuse during an actual fight against a criminal because you saw something that reminded you of All Might, did you?”- Yes he did. And then he blew up the whole street.

Colossians 2:19 (with verses 1-18 intro)

You Are Built Up in Christ

1For I want you to know how great a struggle I have in your behalf and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not [a]personally seen my face, 2that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and that they would attain to all the wealth [b]that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, 3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive arguments. 5For even though I am absent in body, I am nevertheless with you in spirit, rejoicing [c]to see [d]your orderly manner and the stability of your faith in Christ.

6Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so [e]walk in Him, 7having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established [f]in [g]your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing [h]with gratitude.

8See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the elementary principles of the world, [i]rather than in accordance with Christ. 9For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, 10and in Him you have been made [j]complete, and He is the head [k]over every ruler and authority; 11and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ, 12having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13And [l]when you were dead [m]in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings, 14having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15When He had [n]disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through [o]Him.

16Therefore, no one is to [p]act as your judge in regard to food and drink, or in respect to a festival or a new moon, or a Sabbath [q]day— 17things which are only a shadow of what is to come; but the [r]substance [s]belongs to Christ. 18Take care that no one keeps [t]defrauding you of your prize by delighting in humility and the worship of the angels, [u]taking his stand on visions he has seen, [v]inflated without cause by his fleshly mind, 19and not holding firmly to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and [w]ligaments, grows with a growth [x]which is from God.

Verse: John 1:35-51

Write/ Copy Gods words :

John’s Disciples Follow Jesus(A)

35 The next day John(B) was there again with two of his disciples. 36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”(C)

37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. 38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”

They said, “Rabbi”(D) (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

39 “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”

So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.

40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).(E) 42 And he brought him to Jesus.

Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called(F) Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter[a]).(G)

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip,(H) he said to him, “Follow me.”(I)

44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.(J) 45 Philip found Nathanael(K) and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law,(L) and about whom the prophets also wrote(M)—Jesus of Nazareth,(N) the son of Joseph.”(O)

46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?”(P) Nathanael asked.

“Come and see,” said Philip.

47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite(Q) in whom there is no deceit.”(R)

48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.

Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”

49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi,(S) you are the Son of God;(T) you are the king of Israel.”(U)

50 Jesus said, “You believe[b] because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” 51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you,[c] you[d] will see ‘heaven open,(V) and the angels of God ascending and descending(W) on’[e] the Son of Man.”(X)

The next day, John was there again with the two of his disciple. When he saw Jesus pass by, he said “look, the lamb of God!” When the two disciple heard him said this, they follow Jesus. When Jesus turn around, He saw them following & ask “what do you want from me?” They said “Rabbi, where are you going to stay?” Jesus answer & said “come & you will see it.” So they went & saw where He was staying & spent the day with Him. It was about ten o’ clock in the evening. Andrew & Simon (the brother of Peter) was one of the two heard what John had said & who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did is to find his brother Simon & tell him “we have already found the Messiah” & he brought him to Jesus. Jesus look at him & said “You are Simon, the son of John, you will be call Cephas.” The next day Jesus have decided to leave for Galilee. To find Philip, he said to him “follow me”

What is God saying to you/me :

God is telling me that Jesus is the only way between heaven & the earth

Commitment / what will i do :

I will continue to believe & follow Jesus

JJK men and a male reader

So I died and came back. Now my inbox is filled with a lot of Jujutsu Kaisen stuff with a male reader, so I looked around and noticed there aren't a lot of male writers or even gender neutral ones, meaning that's what I'll be doing for awhile. This first request is...

before I get started, if you'd like to request something, then please see my masterlist

JJK boys with a male s/o

Warnings: aged up and language oh and some nsfw stuff cuz that's what they wanted.

Characters: I. Yuuji, F. Megumi, G. Satoru, N. Kento, R. Sukuna, T. Aoi

I. Yuuji

Isn't hung up by you being male, I feel as Yuuji got older, the more open minded he became. His sexuality was something that evolved as he aged and had a big change in his mid teenage years when he was exploring himself. Into his late teens he began seeing people of all types of representation, he simply did not care how they presented themselves.

That leads us to you, our gorgeous male that has Yuuji simping. All seriousness, this man loves entirely, some might even find it to be smothering. He is the type to text you paragraphs of good morning and goodnight texts, always leaving something for you to eat in the fridge, brings something home because it reminded him of you, and always always makes time to call you before a mission.

Yuuji always has random thoughts about you. Like, "Should I make his favorite tonight?" "I wonder what he's doing." "Oh....that would look so cute on him, should I get it?" "AH this charm has our initials on it! that means it was meant to be!"

If you're a sorcerer, Yuuji d e m a n d s to be your partner on missions and he will have a fit if someone says no. Is constantly stressing himself out over your well being, even if he knows you can handle yourself. always asking about your technique and is amazed every time he sees it. Very protective, stands in front of you a lot and when he see's you struggling he doesn't hesitate to get the curse's attention regardless of his own situation.

Also just because I feel like he would: Yuuji gave you a promise ring when he realized you were the one he wanted to be with for the rest of his life.

He has this need to prove to you that he is a fit partner, Like showing you he can cook, has his own place, very responsible with his money and what not.

The type of guy to send you a million snaps a day. He will literally show you everything he did that day and wants the same in return.

Every date with him somehow includes a physical activity. Going out to dinner? chances are Yuuji will see an arcade and more specifically the DDR in the background.

NSFW

In terms of sexual stuff, Yuuji seems like a top, but has definitely thought about bottoming and upon trying it- was not into it. Does not matter if you're much bigger than him or not, he will top you. However, Yuuji is rather submissive when it comes to his partner, he will say yes to whatever it is you want. You want him to be soft and gentle, he'll do it. You want him to absolutely wreck your ability to walk, he'll do it.

The first time Yuuji tried stuff with a guy, he for sure looked up if it would hurt and read that anal could be very painful, was TERRIFIED that he would hurt the guy. Definitely was asking with every movement if he was okay. With you he's more confident, but still askes if you're okay throughout the event.

Man is simple, likes very intimate positions where he can see your face. Heavily into pleasing you, he tries any kinks you're into even if he's not that into it. Loves being praised, it just does something to his brain, in that same line- any sounds you make go straight to his dick. Really enjoys marking, is proud to cover you in them too.

The type of guy to enjoy eating you out, like fully sit on his face. Plus it helps his dick slide in smoother.

Yuuji will lose his mind if you say you want to milk him. Yuuji usually never thinks about his own pleasure, so when you want to pleasure him until he's empty, mans is not readyyyy. Just stutters out an okay and proceeds to go stupid when you start.

Conclusion

Yuuji loves you entirely. Trusts you 100% and would do anything to keep your life stable and happy. Yuuji just wants to grow old with you tbh, so in love with the idea.

If you were to break up with him, he would be devastated, unable to continue on for a long time. I mean he placed his everything into you, why would you do this to him?

all in all, it is a very stable relationship as long as you don't take him for granted because he is prone to letting people use him.

F. Megumi

Definitely did not care you were male. Megumi cares about a person's mentality, their goals and dreams, the way a person carries themselves. When Megumi met you, he found you quite attractive, your drive is what lured him in and from there his feelings developed.

Megumi is subtle in showing his affection. Little touches here, sticky notes meant just for you, always carrying 'extra' snacks. It actually might take you awhile to notice his affections for you, simply because it is so subtle. Megumi seems like the person to wait until you confess. However. Megumi would confess if he gets pushed to or knows he won't get rejected.

Once he confesses, his love is soft and soothing with a hint of awkwardness. Megumi in the beginning would be showing affection through words and small acts of service, always telling you how much he appreciates you and doing things for you. Some of these things would be things like picking up snacks for you, doing your laundry, leaving you some of his clothes. He likes to do these things without you knowing because I think it lessens the embarrassment he feels doing it.

Even if you are in a long term relationship with him, he always gets flustered by you. Megumi is naturally reserved, so telling him I love you with sincerity will cause him to malfunction. Poor boy freezes and stutters around his words while avoiding eye contact.

Now, physical contact in this relationship is a tell tale sign of how much Megumi trusts you and loves you. Megumi is the type of person to reserve physical touch for someone he completely trusts, so with you, this will let you know his true feelings.

Touch would start with closeness at first, just grazing hands or bumping knees, but would develop into hours of intimate cuddling because he's touched starved. KISSING, oh my lord- his kisses tell you everything he feels. so intense, no matter how soft he kisses you.

if you're a sorcerer, Megumi is the type to go on missions with you, but doesn't complain if he can't go with you. However, worries a lot and contemplates going after you. Unlike Yuuji, who would go to literal war, Megumi trusts your strength a lot. The only time he is like yuuji is against a particularly strong curse. Loves fighting together though, it shows how much you trust him.

NSFW

Megumi gives me verse energy. Like he was a top for a long time, asked you if he could bottom once and was surprisingly into it. So now when the mood arises, its whatever you guys are in the mood for. You guys often take turns.

His first time was with you- Megumi just seems like a late bloomer and you were the only person he did stuff with. He's very gentle because he knows it can be painful, I think sexually his fear is not being good enough for you, so give him as much reassurance as you can.

Now this boy is rather kinky despite his personality. Loves when you beg, drives him mad to hear your pleas and whimpers. Likes the pain of you needing something to hold onto when he tops which results in scratches down his back and the pulling of his hair. Doesn't think condoms are necessary because you're the only person for him in his eyes- aka likes breeding. When he bottoms, he enjoys riding and wants to see your face as he does. Do not get it twisted though, he's very much into you messing him up and railing him.

SEND THIS BOY NUDES. DO IT. Mans will sprint home if he has to. Don't do it too often or he'll get used to it. Maybe like once every two-ish weeks. Or better yet do it while he's on a mission. Megumi always tries to answer you, so expecting something serious, he short circuits when its just a pic of you in some underwear he thought he ripped the last time you guys were intimate.

Conclusion

Shy boy into some kinky things with his partner. It might take him some time to develop a deep relationship with you because he's scared you'll leave, but as long as you provide him the security he needs, he'll stay by your side indefinitely.

If you were to break up with him, you're just like his dad in his eyes and the betrayal would result in him locking many people out. Unlike Yuuji, who's emotions pour out of him, many wouldn't know Megumi is barely scrapping by.

G. Satoru

Gojo doesn't give a rats ass how you present yourself, he lives by the motto "a hole's a hole." What truly would make Gojo invest in more than casual hooking up is your personality. Gojo needs someone who doesn't need him and doesn't care about who he is in the sorcerer world. Someone like that would capture his eye rather quick and this man is like "Eh? I'm GOJO SATORU, you know top dog?" and you would just blink and go back to whatever it was you were doing.

Shows off so much trying to impress you. "ne ne (Y/n) did you see me squash that special grade into dust?" *sigh* "Yes Gojo, I also saw you split one into a thousand pieces and turn another into a ball." so unamused by his abilities.

The one time he saw amazement cross your features is when he was playing the piano (I feel Gojo's other talents were never looked at and everyone saw him as this god like being, all he wants is someone to look at other things he can do.) and his heart skipped a beat. Because his first goal was just get into your pants, he was quite surprised you were more interested in his normal talents. This is where he begins showing you his real side, still a teasing man child, but he begins asking you about your interests and seeing what you have in common.

The more he learns, the harder it is for him to find a way not to commit to you. You see Gojo subconsciously looks for a reason to leave, he hates being tied down and is super flighty. Then there's you, ticking all his boxes without even knowing it. There's only been one person to do that.

So he takes a leap and goes for it. He's still scared that he'll get burned like last time, but he's willing to try.

One of the requirements to being with Gojo is you need to be strong in your own right. Gojo is an extremely powerful man with many enemies, so his partner must be able to handle themselves. Being a sorcerer, Gojo would B E G you to go with him on literally every single mission and would throw the biggest tantrum until you say yes. Sometimes when he's being particularly childish, he'll stop fighting the curses to watch you do it. "You can do it (Y/n)-chan, if you win I'll give you kisses." Takes everything in your power not to launch your technique right at him as he sits there with his shit-eating grin.

This man in the beginning of your relationship is immediately extremely handsy. Just all up on you all the time, but little do you know is, this is really a protective measure for when you're out of the house. At home, he's still handsy, but you can just feel how different it is. He'll come and fall asleep on you, stand behind you when you're doing your skincare routine, always following you around the house.

Overtime, you'll become his place to rest when he needs to recharge. You're the only time Gojo gets a break from being at the top. It makes you wonder if he ever truly gets to be normal.

Overall, Gojo's love is deceptively delicate because his personality is quite childish, he uses it as a mask to hide how he's really feeling. So you might think everything is going swimmingly until he ups and leaves you. Once he starts showing you that real side of him, that's when you have him wrapped around your finger.

NSFW

This man is incredibly horny. His stamina is very high and he's very kinky. Gojo is a dominant verse whore. It doesn't matter if he's taking or giving, he's always in control. Honey you were not first and you might not be the last, this man is very confident in pleasuring you.

Gojo like I said, is incredibly kinky. He enjoys degrading you, overstimulating you until you beg him to stop, he wants to break you and make you only crave him. Seriously, you might want to think about a safe word because this man won't stop until you're not even speaking coherent sentences. In saying that there are somethings that you can try (key word 'try') to do to make him lose his mind. One of those things is a blowjob, his dick is incredibly sensitive in certain areas, so he'll become a mind-numbed mess if you're good enough. Another is softly begging in his ear and saying how he's the only one who makes you feel this way aka call him your god in bed and he'll bust right then and there.

Phone sex. Legit will call you if you guys haven't been together for a few days and all you hear are his whines and groans. "Guess what I'm doing cutie~"

THIS MAN- you're never safe to answer your phone because one time you opened the snap and it was him lazily jacking his dick. You have a small heart attack every time the notif is a snap from Gojo, just praying you can open it in public and 9/10 you can't.

The type of guy to get handsy in public places. Just in your ear like "Baby pleeeeasssseeeee can we fuck in public, I promise you'll still be able to walk when I'm done."

Conclusion

Gojo is a rollercoaster of a relationship that needs it's rider to be okay with a lot of distance for awhile and sudden disappearances. Without the right criteria, the relationship is doomed to fail.

If you were to break up with him, he would immediately sleep with as many people as he can to numb himself from the pain of having a hole ripped right through him. He'd go back to that childish personality, but you can feel the edge in his words despite his tone.

N. Kento

Nanami gives me 'gave up on the sex of my partner ages ago' energy. Like he has tried relationships with a lot of people and realized all people suck. So you being a man means nothing to him, you just have to prove to him you're not shitty like everyone else.

The type of guy that takes you out on proper dates in the beginning. It's usually dinner because of his job, but sometimes he'll ask you to lunch. Nanami will bring you small gifts like flowers or Knick knacks he thought you'd like.

Nanami likes someone a little younger than himself, probably around 23-24, they still have that idealistic thought process but with realistic foundations. He likes someone who can be serious, but still enjoys things like joyrides or going out bowling.

Nanami is a very uptight guy, so you're going to have to work to get him to relax. When you do, this is when he starts to see you as long time partner rather than someone who is just for fun. Literally goes from stick up his ass, to a big softie that just wants to curl up in bed with you. He'll start smiling more and doing intimate things like bathing together.

Nanami would probably rather have someone outside the sorcerer world so he doesn't have to think about work when he sees you. He wouldn't complain if you were though, gives him a lot less to worry about since he knows you can handle yourself. Doesn't even stress when you go on missions by yourself, he respects your strength.

NSFW

Now Nanami is moderately kinky. He's definitely a top and will not change. He's into ddlb (dom daddy and little boy for my innocents out there.) Very much into control and making you take it, he's not one for brats and will tame that shit right out of you. Doesn't need a safe word, he's very good at gauging your reactions. Really really into deep throating and you better learn how to breathe or you'll be struggling. Likes breeding, so he would be glad you can't have children.

Conclusion

Nanami’s love is traditional and straight forward. He likes routine to a certain degree and that degree ends at stable relationship, everything else is not that fun without a level of risk to him, but he likes that when he comes home, you'll be right there.

if you were to break up with him, Nanami would sigh and say he told himself so. He's hurt, but it'll solidify that people are still and always will be shitty.

R. Sukuna

Sukuna does not do love. period. The only way I could see him giving notice to someone is if they are powerful, someone who can bring him amusement. Sukuna only does thing for his own entertainment end of discussion.

I’m going to be using post-Yuuji Sukuna, so he’s restricted by Yuuji himself and can’t outright cause chaos at all times. This way Sukuna has to spend more time with people than he’d like to, normally he would just kill something once he’s bored, but now he has to deal with them.

Noticed your technique through Yuuji and was amused, much like Megumi, he thought your curse technique had a lot of potential to be devastating. As Yuuji spent more time with you, Sukuna began noticed more things about you, like that you cooked better than Yuuji, were extremely versatile in battle with your technique and so on.

The type to notice your attraction to him and act on it. He can’t really do much since he’s in Yuuji’s body, so he’s going to work with what he’s got. Didn’t care if you’re male or female, he just likes a strong partner so he can go harder during sex.

Your relationship would start with being his toy, something to bring him pleasure that is all. With Sukuna, you must both respect him and not fear him. He’s very big on respect and trust, but hates when someone he views as ‘important’ fears him because they’ll betray him the second they can. Everyone else can fear him, he doesn’t care.

Sukuna is also highly unpredictable and unstable, be prepared for death at a moments notice tbh. He’ll kill you if he feels like it. In a deeper relationship, Sukuna is a hard pressed tsundere, saying things quite harshly. Saying things like, “Here brat, I don’t need you breaking just yet.” “Dumbass, that curse was stronger than you.” “I took care of them because you’re weak.”

Trust between Sukuna and you is a game of high stakes chess, one wrong move and you’re nothing but trash to him. However, succeed in earning his trust and you’ll be rewarded with a loyal man. Though Sukuna hates showing vulnerability, so he’ll treat you the same in public places that he would treat anyone else. Alone, he’s alright with whatever as long as it doesn’t annoy him.

Surprisingly protective. He’ll kill curses he deems are a problem to you or rip a person limb from limb if he found a hair missing from your head. Doesn’t understand why you don’t let him handle it, he’s way stronger than you.

Is almost never soft with you unless he’s extremely tired or just waking up. Holding you as close as he can and telling you not to go. Don’t bring it up either, he’ll end you if you tell anyone.

Will never tell you, but likes touching you, you’re very soft compared to him. He’s the type of guy to have callous from years of fight and doesn’t really care about his skin to much because he’s a God in his eyes.

Would rather surrender himself to a church than admit he gets slightly giddy when you remember small details about him. Like this man has a lot of history, so when you know a tiny random detail about him, his non-existent heart shutters a little.

Nsfw

This man is extremely kinky during sex. I pray for your well being because honestly I don’t know if you’re going to live through sex with him. A dom top period, that last person to even insinuate they could top him was added to his innate domain permanently.

He’s into completely dominating you and make sure you know he owns you. B I G into impact play, slapping you a lot until you’re a beautiful red. Degrading and humiliating you, honestly would let people watch so they know that you’re his property.

Actually really likes his partner to be a brat, man loves breaking you and turning you into a submissive bunny just for him. Honestly he just likes pushing people beyond their limits, like really into emotional play, he wants to see your expressions when he does something. Ooo objectification, will use you like a foot stool and sit on you. Man in general will work you hard.

In saying all that, immaculate aftercare because he knows your mind is too far gone to remember him being this caring and soft for you. Literally bathes you and gets you into bed curled up on him. Also makes sure your body didn’t sustain a lot of damage during sex.

Do. Not. Taunt. Sukuna. It will not end well. “Huuuh? You think you can handle more little boy?” Eyes narrowed and smile too tight. You’ve awoken the beast and he’s not going to leave anything unbroken.

Conclusion

Sukuna’s love is... well a bike ride through hell? To be honest you’ll never know if he loves you. Everything about him is highly unpredictable and dangerous, you could end up as worm food in seconds.

Breaking up with Sukuna... you’re joking right? You don’t have the balls to tell a man who could split you into a million pieces with a flick of the wrist, you’re breaking up with him , right?

Seriously he’ll kill you, no hesitation. It’s either realize you’re stuck with him or die. I think most people would assume he never cared at first, but he did care and now you want to leave him? Absolutely not. He set everything down for you and he’ll be damned if he lets you live without him.

T. Aoi

(First and foremost- why is it so hard to find Toudou headers.)

Okay, I’m sorry but Toudou to me is a straight guy, so I can’t really see him with a male. But, if it were to happen, I think it would go like this:

Being childhood friends with Toudou, you were used to his eccentric personality and sometimes extreme antics.

This man is EXTREMELY comfortable with you. You guys grew up together, so some of the things you guys do together would definitely be seen as way too much for friends. I’m talking sharing the same bed, bathing together, using each other’s things without permission. To you guys, you’ve been doing this since you were little, so neither of you think twice.

I think there would be a trigger that would make Toudou realize he’s more into you than being friends. Like maybe someone flirting with you, he’d at first think he’s being replaced as a friend, but it’s much deeper than that. Definitely debates in his head about what he’s feeling toward you. After going back and forth with his type of girl in his head, he’ll come to terms with it.

This is when he’ll start noticing things he’s never payed that much attention to before. Things like how small you’re compared to him, the way clothes fitted to your body, how pretty you actually were and most important difference- how he’s never noticed you have the fattest ass he’s ever seen.

Seriously this man’s sexuality went from women to women + you.

Toudou isn’t the type to wait either, as soon as he knows how he feels, he confesses. He’s the type of guy to say “take it or leave it, that is how I feel.”

You kinda just stand there. Like, huh? Toudou are you feeling okay? Have- have you been cursed? There’s no way, Toudou middle name pussy pounder Aoi just said he was into you romantically... right?

After the shock, you reciprocated his feelings and began dating.

Now, this man- S U P E R affectionate and devoted. Always wanting to hold hands or link arms. He loves cuddling and playing with your hair while you sleep on him. Puddy in your hands if you give him a massage.

Toudou is immensely dedicated. He knows your favorite foods down to the amount of salt you use on your fries, knows what sizes you prefer for hoodies, shirts, button ups and so on, and this man knows your favorite movies by heart.

He’s the type to buy you something simply because you said it was starting to give you problems.

Lovvvvessss dates. I mean he’s a hopeless romantic, he wants to take you on really cheesy dates that you’d see honeymoon couples go on.

The type to want to match clothing or jewelry.

If you’re a sorcerer, he’s wanting to train everyday, he likes seeing you in action. Double points if you can match him in strength too. He respects your strength enough to not worry about you, he’s confident in his S/o’s abilities.

NSFW

Top. Enough said. Ok but seriously, he wants to clap you cheeks so bad.

Toudou has the biggest size kink too, I’m talking like he’s the type to point right at your navel and say “I’m right here baby~ can you feel me filling you?”

His definitely into railing. His favorite position is the mating press, allows him to hit deeply and as hard as he wants.

Lovesss when you whine and beg. He wants to see how much you can take before your begging him to let you cum.

The type of guy to leave your ass a nice reddish purple color. Just two big ass hand prints on you ass and hips.

✨i m m a c u l a t e✨ aftercare. It’s almost like he’s worshipping you when he’s cleaning you up and making sure you’re taken care of.

Conclusion

Being with Toudou is like being with an Aries, he’s high energy and can get easily bored. He enjoys someone who excites him both mentally and physically. Loves a challenge. Toudou’s love is like a concentrated ball of sunlight, it’s hot and bright. He’s overly devoted to you and tells you how much you mean to him all the time.

If you break up with him, he’s the type to hold his head high until he’s alone and then he breaks down, crying into his hands. Thinking, “Was I too much?” “Maybe I wasn’t enough?” He’s confident, but he’s still a person with insecurities.

oh hey I write and publish ereloy fics on AO3

canon-verse:

Don't Go was written for the prompt: Celebration. Aloy and Erend meet in Hidden Ember for the Showmen's big spectacle and accidentally upstage the trio with their sweet, sentimental moment together. Bonus side ship: Abadund/Morlund. Stemmur is everybody's wingman uncle. G / 1.7k

there's a room where the light won't find you was written for the prompt: Rest. Erend wakes up in the middle of the night during his first week at Base and explores insomnia, introspection, loneliness, and the numbing qualities of alcohol, which he's trying to rely on less. It turns out he's not the only one up at this hour... FLUFF. HOLDING HANDS. HAPPY ENDING. COME AND GET IT. T / 1.5k

Spill was written for the prompt: Drunken Confessions. In it, Aloy and Erend don't actually get drunk and they don't actually confess anything, but they do have a couple beers and make out, so... T-M-ish / 2.4k

Deep Drumming* was written for the Horizon Big Bang 2022. In it, Aloy takes Erend on a trip to the Cut to visit Deep Din/The Overflow Basin Studios where his favorite song was recorded over a thousand years ago.

rhymes with yearning was written for the prompt: burning. Erend's thoughts, his feelings, the candles in the Base as the wax melts, the injury on Aloy's leg from a Fireclaw, it's all burning.

[random-yandere-fandom]

Any headcannons of yandere Sebastian from Black butler you wanna write about? Btw i loved that affectionate reader one you made ♥️

Thank you a lot! I`m happy you requested that because recently some videos rekindled my love for him.

Yandere Sebastian headcanons

As I have mentioned just about any time I`ve written for him, he`ll find some kind of excuse to get some cats. There are many advantages to them after all! You won`t be lonely when he has to work, they don`t require as much work as other animals - he`ll mention dogs as a negative example - they are easy to get along with if you know how to treat them and if you don`t, Sebastian is always happy to show you the ropes. They are elegant and cute, and did you know that their purring is designed to calm others? They come with all kinds of personalities, shy or affectionate, calm or playful, quiet or loud, so certainly there will be one that you`d like. He`ll be ecstatic if you are willing to get some of these wonderful creatures but if you`re hesitant or downright against it he has no problem convincing you, writing essays on why they`d be beneficial if needed.

Sebastian has built an entire manor in, like, a few hours, so it is in no way unreasonable to say that he`d build you a home you can feel comfortable in. Do you want it near a lake? No problem. A private library? What kind of books do you want in what systematic order? There are barely any limits, though there are a few rules. Nothing to endanger you, for example. As such, your home is at a certain longer distance to the Phantomhive manor as to not get you caught up in one of the multiple assassination attempts. It shouldn`t be close to any civilisation for a fact, your demon is generous to you alone and possessive to a fault, a dangerous mix to anyone who`d think his kindness is an inherit trait and not the privilege only you possess. It is still close enough that he can visit you throughout the day though.

Should you be less accepting of your new partner despite his attempts to charm you he`ll resort to other methods. That most likely happens before he kidnaps you move in together and if you are suspicious of his motives. Such methods are but are not limited to: endangering you to save you, isolating you through manipulation or making himself a bigger part of your life than he already is. Another attempt might be to kind of reward or punish you for certain behaviour. When you`re nice, listen and treat him kindly he`ll make sure your day is absolutely fantastic. Your favourite stuff is on sale, you found some money on the road, no one bothers you. On the other hand if you`re cold, indifferent and ignore him you will wish your day would just be over. Your clothes somehow get caught up everywhere and rip, there seem to be more insects than normal that just seem to target only you and somehow whatever you start never gets finished because stuff keeps happening needing your immediate attention. You`ll end up gravitating towards him sooner or later.

His main languages of affection are acts of service and words of affirmation. As a butler he is used to performing all kinds of tasks and it just seems natural to do stuff for you. Even better if he manages to impress you, he`s a proud demon and hearing your praise makes him incredibly happy. He`s also extremely vocal, feeling no shame when complimenting you, sometimes out of the blue. Sebastian flirts with you a lot and whether you get flustered, which he finds endearing, or flirt back, in which case he will want to test how far he can go before you are left blushing, it makes his day.

If you`re interested in history or demons you`re welcome to ask him all kinds of questions. There might be some parts that Sebastian leaves out, finding them too dreadful to tell you, but he loves recounting stories, teaching facts and especially, your attention focused solely on him. He is well versed in other areas, too, and if he found your interest in a subject he had no need to learn beforehand, know that he will be an expert in no time.

To add on to that, he puts effort into capturing your attention. I headcanon him to be a good singer so he will sing for you. He`s an amazing cook and if you want you can try make something together with him. The demon will find all kinds of activities that you can do together and that make you pay attention to him. Ignoring him for something else like a book might inspire him for more... drastic measures. He`ll begin calling out for you, poking your sides before flat out laying down on you. He isn`t human and while he prefers to lay down in ways that obey the laws of science as to not disturb you, he might change his mind should you still not show any reactions. If you even ignore that, just to spite him and amuse you, he`ll try to take away whatever has you focused. Now you can only flat out ignore him, at which point he`ll sigh before standing up. Picking you up he`ll hold you across from him engaging you in a staring contest. You will crack at some point and as a kind of punishment he`ll carry you around, refusing to set you down with the explanation that you might focus on something else again if he does.

Sesshomaru||NSFW Alphabet

A/N: That’s right, I wrote an NSFW alphabet for him as well. How could I not, he’s a hottie. Also somehow, I managed to keep this w a gender neutral reader, so all my Sesshomaru fans may enjoy (unless u ship s*ssrin, then leave)

Word Count: 1911

Warnings: Obviously nsfw

A - Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

After sex, Sesshomaru returns to his initial composure almost immediately. Like he’ll pant for a few seconds, wipe his dick off and then immediately, boom, like nothing ever happened. Of course, you, are thoroughly wrecked, needing Sesshomaru’s help, help which he is more than happy to give.

B - Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

His favorite body part on himself has to be his arm/arms (depending). He loves his arms for a reason completely separate from you, he just enjoys the fact that he finally has two arms, like he thinks back to all the times he didn’t properly appreciate his left arm, and vows to never make that same mistake.

C - Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

As much as he loves cumming on your body, nothing compares to the feeling of cumming inside you. He loves to watch you slowly lose all coherency as he just fucks you full of his cum. If you let this man cum inside you, you will unleash a whole new beast, that you’re gonna have to be prepared to deal with. 

D - Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Sometimes, when Sesshomaru knows he’s going to be away from you for a long time, he tries to fuck you as much as possible. He knows that he’ll miss you and gets a little more lovey dovey, but above all, he’s trying to remember the feeling of you so he can better mimic it with his had.

E - Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Sesshomaru is extremely experienced, on account of both his rank and his power. Demons are attracted to power and rank and, being so noble, Sesshomaru has never had any trouble with finding a partner to warm his bed. He’s not versed in everything but he has a strong sense of intuition and a deep connection with his own desires.

F - Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

A bit cliché, but, his favorites are doggy style and mating press. Any position where he has the leverage to press you down and fuck into you also ranks pretty high on his list.

G - Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Sesshomaru is so serious in the moment. He gets so laser focused on pleasing you that he finds any distractions to be a bit...grating. That being said, you’re the exception, if he happens to make you laugh during sex, he’ll just roll his eyes affectionately before shutting you up with a kiss.

H - Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

He’s about as well groomed as any man of his station at the time would be. He’s not exactly shaving down there but his hair is so fine that it isn’t unbearable. Also the carpet definitely matches the drapes, his hair is extremely light and it’s hard to see sometimes.

I - Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

Sesshomaru is very intimate in subtle ways. He shows you hat he cares by doing little things to ensure your comfort. Whether it’s brushing sweat off your head, setting pillows under your hips, or retracting his nails when he holds you, Sesshomaru is the king of unspoken intimacy. He loves you and he’s going to show it in the most obvious way.

J - Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

As stated earlier, Sesshomaru really only jacks off out of necessity. He had no problem with getting someone to fuck, ad now that he has you, he doesn’t see the need to masturbate. The only time he’ll do so is if you’re gonna be away from him for a while and he’s really horny.

K - Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Sesshomaru has a breeding kink, sorry not sorry. Even if you can’t get pregnant, something in him just tells him to keep filling you with his cum until it spills out. At which point, he just repeats the process. He also has a thing for marking, whether it be by scent, hickies, or with his cum, he loves the reminder/proclamation that you’re his.

L - Location (Favourite places to do the do)

Sesshomaru’s not picky about location. He’s of the opinion that, as long as you’re comfy, he’s ok with it. He does enjoy having his fill of you in your shared bedroom, but yall aren’t really home often enough for him to be that particular about it.

M - Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

The only thing that turns Sesshomaru on is the sight/thought of you naked and waiting for him. 

N - NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Sesshomaru does not care all that much for sharing, and in a similar vein, voyeurism. With voyeurism, he doesn’t mind fucking out in the open, as long as no one else is around. The second he gets whiff of anyone, he’s pulling out of you faster than you can even realize what’s going on. With sharing, just don’t ask. He won’t show it but, the thought of someone else even seeing you that vulnerable enrages him and sets off his baser instincts. If you suggest it, he’s going to be very hurt for some time.

O - Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Sesshomaru probably didn’t even know about oral until you went down on him for the first time. While he isn’t exactly the most experienced in it, he more than makes up for it with his sheer voracity. If you ask him to give you head, he’s getting on his knees, laying you back like, “say less”.

P - Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Sesshomaru can be both but he tends to lean on the more fast and rough side. Sure, your hips and legs hurt, but who can really complain when there’s a powerful demon pounding into you like a jackhammer.

Q - Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

When you first told Sesshomaru what a quickie entailed, he was intrigued. Admittedly, he didn’t like the concept at first, but the more he thought about it the more it grew on him. He likes the thought of you being so needy for him that you’d rather jump him as soon as possible than wait to get home.

R - Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

In terms of experimentation, Sesshomaru’s not all that open to it. He’ll try if you insist but he’s definitely not one to suggest any experimentation. As for risks in terms of location, as long as he’s far enough from others, he doesn’t really care where y’all fuck or how loud you are. 

S - Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

He can go as long as you can. He does like to build your endurance more and more each time, but sex in general with him is a serious time commitment.  He’s more than willing to space it throughout the day if that would suit you better.

T - Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

No toys, Sesshomaru doesn’t see the point in them. It also goes back to his thing about sharing, while he won’t be as angry as he would be with another person there, the thought infuriates him. Just thinking about an object getting to feel you in the same way he does make him see red.

U - Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Sesshomaru prefers not to tease, but he will if he feels the need to. He prefers to get straight to the point, letting you cum as many times as he sees fit to, honestly, prep you to take him in. But if he’s feeling particularly slighted, (whether by you or some demon he can’t quite murder) he’ll take it all out on you. While he won’t tease you in public, in private, he’ll work you up, get you right on the edge of cumming, and then pull it away. The more you whimper and whine, the more tempted he is to draw out your torture.

V - Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Sesshomaru is pretty quiet... usually. While he prides himself on his control, of which extends even to the bedroom, letting out a few grunts once he’s about to cum, his rut is a different story. Sesshomaru refuses to talk about or even acknowledge how unihinged he acts during his rut but honestly, the moment he gets a whiff of your arousal, he sounds like a wild animal. Every repressed emotion and sound comes bubbling back up to the surface and he just goes around growling and panting until he can stick his dick in you.

W - Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Sesshomaru tries his best to be gentle/hold back with you. It’s not obvious and you haven’t noticed because most of it happens in the heat of the moment when you’re distracted by...other things. But, he knows he tends to lose himself inside of you so in preparation, he’ll remove his hands from your body and let his claws rip into the surface under/behind you, whether it be a tree, bed, or just the floor. One of these times, his poison accidently activated and he shielded your body by leaning down and making out with you. That day, he discovered his affinity for kissing you while pounding into you.

X - X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Mans got a third leg, I just know. The baggy pants hide it pretty well but when you manage to pull it out, he’s easily 8 inches (10-12 when fully hard depending on circumstances), uncut, and really pretty. Like other parts of him, Sesshomaru’s dick is beautiful, a small patch of silver hair near his base. Speaking of, Sesshomaru does have a knot, if he cums inside of you, he tries to do so without getting it stuck just because of the fact that it’s kind of a hassle waiting it out. But if you let him knot you and the situation allows it, he might go a little feral whoops.

Y - Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Sesshomaru has a pretty high sex drive and before you, he could control it pretty well in all instances besides his rut. He still maintains his impeccable control but he finds himself ready to go a lot more often than he used to be. Like if you ask him, he’s immediately down regardless of what he’s doing. The only time that he gets supernaturally and uncontrollably horny is when he goes into rut. At which point...good luck getting his dick out of you.

Z - ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

While Sesshomaru doesn’t really get tired after sex in the same way you do, he does understand when you’re kind of tapped out for the night/day/moment and is more than content to watch you sleep. After a while though, the sounds of your heartbeat and the quiet sounds of your breathing will set him at ease and put him to sleep.
