So, I may be a day late, but I still want to make a little post for Simblr Gratitude Day 💜

To start off, my memory is pretty bad, so I just know I'm gonna miss tagging people... and honestly, there's way more people on here I'm grateful for than tumblr's limit of 50! So I'm starting out addressing everyone.

To everybody that likes or reblogs my posts, sends comments or asks, shares their sims with me, or uses my cc: I love you. Yes, you! I may be bad at answering back sometimes, but I cherish every interaction I get- a lot of the times they have me kicking my feet and giggling, or sometimes I'm barking and scaring my cat. Asks really make my day and even when I don't reply so fast, they warm my heart. Asks I've gotten on here have genuinely helped me in my dark times, and renewed my faith in this community as a whole, because some of you are just so freaking amazing and kind. Especially now with everything I've been going through, sims and being here has remained a comfort for me because of you all. Even if there's speed bumps from time to time, I truly believe there's more good here than bad, and y'all should be proud of yourselves and your capacity for endless kindness. Thank you!

Now, I'm going to address a few specific precious people I'm grateful for.

@wastelandwhisperer - Moon, my precious mom friend, I adore you. The joy, comfort, and hilarious memories you give me can't be understated. You deserve all the love and light in the world.

@neverheresims - God's eepiest soldier, what would I do without you? Thank you for always being genuine, reliable, and a true friend.

Vi - Thank you my sheriff, my paggro detector, my master of copypastas, my right hand catboy. Even though you're untraceable, I couldn't leave you out. I love you!

@divinedionym - Thanks for always being straight with me and taking NO shit. I truly admire you and your attitude, friend.

@dyoreos - We may not both be active at the same time anymore, but I still think of you, friend! You've always had my back and I'll always have yours.

@nucrests - I'm so grateful to be your friend, and every time you share your beautiful content and gorgeous sims with me, it really makes my day. I adore you.

@cinamun - You probably don't know this, but in certain times when I was feeling low, your comments and kindness really lifted my spirits and made me feel like I belong. You're a lovely person and deserve all the love you receive, friend.

@woosteru - You won't see this bc you're retired so I can be sappy as I want, so there!!! I adore you, your sweet personality, and your sense of humor that matches just right with mine. (Nobody tell them)

@superflare - Lulu, you're an incredibly creative and intelligent person. I can tell you're going to go far in life and do great for the world. Be proud of yourself, always!

@fiftymilehighclub - Thank you for always being yourself, Manda! You're such a hardworking person that's kind but firm with your opinions and what matters to you. You're amazing.

@nicatnite88 - Tay, you're someone that's always empathetic, understanding and kind, yet hilarious at the same time. I look up to you as a person and admire your skills as a parent.

@pluto-sims - What do I say about Eli? Despite being unfortunately bri*ish, you've exceeded expectations in all other areas as a friend. I genuinely appreciate your presence and kindness in my life.

@bloody-soda - As one of my longest and dearest mutuals, peachy, my love for you can't be understated! I think of you whenever I see cute meme pics lol and you're so lovely as a person.

@wubblesgonefishin - Beautiful wubs, you're such a wonderful person with so much love to give! My day brightens every time I speak with you and I'm so glad you're back.

@toastie-sim - Meg! One of my few brain cells, I don't know what I'd do without you! You're so helpful all the time and unbelievably patient. I appreciate you.

...Phewph. Now that that's o- wait. You thought I was done??? Nuh uh, the king of long ass texts posts is not done that fast. Here's some more beautiful people I'm grateful for and love seeing grace my dash 💜

@simandy @void-imp @therichantsim @adelarsims @marsosims @shysimblr @1-800-cuupid @xldkx @xiuminuwu @hexcodesims @cassymblr @lotusplum @rebelangelsims @denzellion @strawberrylattesims @anachrosims @cowplant-snacks @fierce-trait @simanin @ghostwoohoo @llama-head @aghilasims @janjumjam @jellyfish-tea @bbdoll @puppycheesecake @mwvwv-sims

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

Rose Recaps Rose Tinted Glasses It's been three months since I made a post thanking this community for being a place for me to share my love of BL.

And since then, every day I feel a little bit more comfortable here.

This place is so special to me for so many reasons and the fact that I found it is a small miracle. I was talking with my friend Neely about something BL related and they told me that they think I'm doing much better since I came here. So thanks again.

I was never a part of any online fandom. And before BL I never really felt like I was missing something. Maybe because I always found someone irl that I could freak out about whatever I was watching I never really felt the need to go look.

And the people here are exceptionally kind. Before, I made a point to never engage much online, except for certain support groups, because of the hate that sometimes exists in certain spaces. So I was very much surprised by the kind humans that exist in this bl fandom in this corner of the internet.

Also. There is some serious brilliant people here. Look giffing is not easy, it takes a long time, sometimes you spend so much time with a set only to hate it by the end and never posting it. And sometimes you post something and you're really proud and crickets. And sometimes you post it just so it doesn't go to waste and all of a sudden it explodes. It's all part of the magic.

I keep my sets pretty simple so I'm in awe of how some people make these beautiful art pieces with layers and colouring and typography. It's incredible and I applaud your creativity and patience.

Speaking of brilliance, I'm constantly in awe of the meta writers. That shit is not easy.

It takes way longer than we think, to make it neat and readable, adding gifs or shots to illustrated a point, sometimes wasting so much time finding the gif you want in the mess that is the gif search (I understand it now, cause yesterday I was on the hunt and it would've been quicker to make the damn gifs), and reviewing it before posting, changing it in the process, sometimes leaving it in drafts because the idea is not completed. I'm tired just thinking about this. I'm not able to do that. Sure I can talk for hours about this stuff but actually organize my ideas into a coherent point of view and writing it down. Nope. Not me. So bravo meta writers. I applaud you.

And of course all the people that share the stuff that really matters. Like the colours, the wardrobe, the places we see, the news about what's coming, language nuances, pictures of the pretty people in sometimes ridiculous or beautiful outfits, sometimes the pretty people before shirts were invented, and some of the funniest commentary I ever encountered.

I don't wanna single people out by tagging them because truly there are way too many. So I just want to thank some people that helped me navigate this place and made this time so enjoyable. First and foremost. @twig-tea You were the first person I talked to here and you were so kind and patient with me and my awkwardness and lack of knowledge of how this place works. She also writes great meta and is brilliant and everyone should be following her. @lurkingshan because of the Sahara-Sensei post that you tagged me in and made me feel so seen. @pharawee because IFYLITA just wouldn't have been the same without your sets. @respectthepetty because she helped get the colour coded subs right and she appreciates the bokeh in all its glory. @itsallaboutbl for screaming with me in portuguese. @mikuni14 Because she's been so incredible kind to me. @iguessitsjustme because of many reasons. And If I ever reblogged anything from you, consider yourself tagged in this post. All of you are amazing. And finally...

@blmpff for a lot but mostly for the most unexpected and incredible moment I experienced in this short time. The day that a bird took over my dash. Khun Feathers was such a treat and this masterpiece was the highlight of the day.

image by @blmpff It's been a wonderful year and I look forward to see what happens tomorrow. Wishing you all a happy new year!💜

SFW :

Meeting the pro hero for the very first time, you were instantly captivated by his flamboyant personality and alluring appearance, however, his eccentricity was a bit too much for you to handle, which was why you kept a little distance between you two, and settled for admiring him from afar.

That was until you learned more about him, and understood that underneath that charming surface, lays a selfless and brave man, one who strives to spread peace and serenity among civilians, even at the expense of his own safety -like a real hero should do-.

When you finally gathered up the courage to confess your newly discovered feelings for him, you were met with a concealed smile from underneath his ridiculously high collar, he was pleasantly surprised to learn about your sentiments and fervently confessed his own.

Being with him is a literal adventure, he is mesmerizing and does everything passionately which is exciting. He is straightforward, and you love that about him.

He has always been proud of you, cheering you on and motivating you to follow your dreams no matter how tough things get.

He talks about you all the time, he just manages to find a way to slip your name into any conversation he's having, no matter if serious or casual said conversation is, he's just smitten and never gets bashful to show it.

You love shopping dates with him, he just has the best taste in clothes and you end up with amazing pieces of garments each and every time.

In addition, he makes you try them out for him once you're home, like a little fashion show just for his eyes. He enjoys your excitement and the little twirls you do in order for him to have a good look at the way they fit you, and he finds himself unable to keep his hands and lips away from you, turning your fitting session into a make out one, -or something even spicier-.

You are his confidant(e) and he trusts you with his life, keeping nothing hidden from you, and seeking your advice when things get tough.

NSFW :

He's so vocal during your intimate times, and body worship is his thing! He enjoys praising you while his lips and fingers cover every inch of your skin. He usually uses fabric related descriptions to address you during those moments, such as: soft, elegant, firm, silky, shiny, velvety, luxurious.

He has an extremely sensitive neck, something you always use to your advantage, because just a simple touch of your fingertips to his skin can bring the most delicious groans out of his mouth. And you usually don't stop at that, adding your lips and teeth to the mix and relishing the goosebumps appearing under your touch.

He goes nuts when you put on a sexy lingerie set for him, not only because of how alluring and enticing you would look, but also because of the way his fingers glide along the delicate fabric before reaching your flesh.

He is passionate and extremely gentle with you, he never does anything hurriedly and always asks how you're feeling before taking the next step. You communicate well and tell each other instantly if one of you wishes to take things slower, or do them harder and faster.

His mouth can do wanders, wether he's kissing your lips, nibbling on your earlobe, sucking on your neck or teats, plunging his tongue into the wetness between your legs, you are always writhing and shuddering and begging for more. And it's vice versa, because you -too- get to witness his aroused expression and needy pleas everytime the roles are reversed.

*bare with me because I'm doing this on my laptop and I have not figured out how to use emojis on here:(*

It took everything in me not to go off when I first saw that ask. Laur gave you grace because you might not have had bad intentions but I honestly do not care because most of what you said did not have to be in that ask.

"Will needs better-coping mechanisms than putting his dick in her..." I'm not going to argue with your opinion, however, I think some of you have forgotten the "fiction" part of fan fiction. It is literally fiction, its only purpose is to bring the creator's imagination to life. Y'all have to stop going into everything as if it's supposed to be real and relatable to you. Yes, there are going to be relatable elements that resonate with you and those moments are amazing, * you should cherish them by mentioning them to the writer in a reblog :' *, but that doesn't mean they're supposed to think or act the way you would. So, please remember this the next time you're reading a fic :)

"yeah it's great but communication is better." I'm excited to tell you how wrong this is (pertaining to Will and the reader's relationship ofc) because I've gushed about it to Laurie in a reblog! Will is a man of few words and throughout most of the parts what you see as regular sex scenes is actually Will communicating with the reader! It's unique to them. It's easier for them to understand what the other is thinking or how they are feeling through physical touch! We see their conversation through their pace when they are feeling rough and fast or soft and low. I haven't gotten to pt. 9 but almost always Laurie still gives us an insight into how they communicate with words! I could talk about this for hours but that isn't the point of this ask :)

Now with all of that being said, the first half of your ask was irrelevant and could have been kept to yourself or a friend if it bothered you that badly lol. You could have sent an ask saying, "I never want Breathe to end!" or "How many more chapters of Breathe are we going to get because I never want it to end?!?" and she would have loved that, but instead you decided to be an asshole :( #dobetter

Now my dear Laurie *que emoji* I am so proud of you and everything you've accomplished with not only "Breathe" but also the other stories you've so graciously shared with us!! despite this bad apple the rest of us know and appreciate how hard you work and all of the thought, care, and passion you put into your creations! You handled that anon like a true girl boss, but I don't like when people shit on my home girls so of course I had to put in my two cents :) Anywaysss I hope you have a great day girlie pop!!

Oh my dear Ray 🥹💗 you are so wise and kind and eloquent with your words.

I don't need anyone going to bat for me but please know I appreciate it all the same. I could've responded very differently to that anon but it wouldn't have done anyone any good.

I am over the moon that you continue to recognize all of the things I subtly weave into my series. You hit the nail on the head again with pointing out that the main type of communication and love language between Will and Reader is physical touch. I always strive to come up with a healthy mix of spice and emotion in my smut scenes and I am on my knees thanking you for clearly seeing that time and time again 🫂💗

This situation has only made me realize how incredibly lucky I am to have such amazing supporters and friends and am feeling emotional (in a good way!!) that you and so many others appreciate what I do here with my smutty silliness 🥹💗

(Cue all the emojis!)

[iceiclehorned]

Hello! I have some positivity mail for you, here's what they wanted to say:

"Thank you for all the effort you've been putting in all your current threads! It might be a bit presumptuous for one message to try and speak for everyone you've been in contact with, but I truly believe that the amount of attention and effort you've been putting forward as of late, towards everyone you're currently writing with, is incredible and should be highlighted, and celebrated, whenever possible.

So! On behalf of everyone who has not yet had the opportunity to say it, we'd like to thank you very much, wish you the absolute best, and hope that you're able to feel happy and proud of the writing work you have been putting out there, because personally, I find it amazing! We also urge you to take good care of yourself in the meantime, and hope you're enjoying the act of writing at least just as much as we enjoy reading it!"

Have a lovely day!

OOC Post ;;

When I received this message in my inbox, I was instantly floored at the admiration stemming from a certain somebody. You know who you are, and before I ramble on, I'd like to say that I freaking love you! You've made yourself a little home in my heart, and you are so appreciated. Getting to know you has been one of the greatest experiences of my entire life, and I hope to be able to articulate that well. Opening up to you has been such a soft experience and a first for me, so thank you so, so much, my love! Platonically by the way hufhefiwd i rambled too much before the rambling.

Onto the rambling!

I remember when I started out, I felt like like a fish out of water, so to speak. I was pretty disorganised, even throughout my many, many hiatus' (sorry guys dyuefh). This period, where I have been active the most, is probably the longest I have been here without disappearing, and I could not be more grateful for the people I have come across from start to finish.

Even if there comes a time where communication is lost, I hold an immense love for everybody I have had the chance to become friends with. I do also owe those people who have been there since the beginning an apology for always being so flakey, and I am so thankful that you remained by my side throughout the years. You're wonderful, compassionate people, and I hope to keep doing this a bit longer with you all.

I am also appreciative of every mutual I have, even if we do not interact (ic or ooc). You're working so hard, I hope your blogs continue to flourish beautifully.

[silenzahra]

Hey hey! I didn't want to ask anything in particular, I just wanted to let you know that I'm glad you seem to be doing okay despite everything going on. The past few weeks sound like they've been really difficult, and I'm honestly proud of you for pushing through it, if that's okay to say despite the fact we don't know each other incredibly well-

Anyways, I hope you're having a better day than the past few have been, and if not, I hope it gets better. I tend to lurk a lot, but, if you need to talk, I'm here for ya too. :)

(Also, I can't seem to tag you on my posts for some reason?? IDK if there's something going on there, but I just figured I should let you know since I've been trying to tag you in my fics and such lately-)

Hey! Thank you so much for sending this ask! I really appreciate it 🥰

AW you're so kind 🥹 It's totally fine, in fact I feel so touched and warm inside! They have been hard, but luckily I'm doing much better thanks to this wonderful community 💖

Thank you so much! I really hope your day is going amazingly well, and I'd love to get to know each other better! 🥰 I might not be too active as of now, but I'm also here for you for whatever you may need! 💖

(Oh? That's really so weird 🤔 I just checked my settings and everything should be fine, you should be able to tag me! Only that, well, hope this doesn't sound rude or anything, but right now I'm not reading because of a reader's (and writer's) block 😅 I'm trying to slowly get out of it but it's not being easy at all. Maybe, if it's okay, you could share the link to your story so I could add it to my AO3 list? I've saved there TONS of stories by our amazing and talented friends, so it'd be a pleasure to add yours so I can read it too when I'm ready! 🥰)

[alexbkrieger13]

Well, Nathalie Björn. How is it to be in Gothenburg again for a Nations League match? Feels very fun to meet the girls again, nice to be gathered. Had good trainings these two days we've been gathered and it's going to be very fun to play in Gothenburg again.

What does it mean to step out on your national arena, that it is here in Gothenburg? Incredibly much. It was so fun when we played here last against Spain and even when we lost that match and were grumpy after: the feeling you step out with at the arena and see so many supporters gathered for our sake - it's a hard feeling to beat.

How will it be now with what has happened recently, namely that two football supporters actually got murdered because they were going to watch the mnt in Brussels - to see people come here in the yellow jersey or not? How are you thinking about the feeling? It's incredibly sad what happened and, well, really very sad. It's still a bit unimaginable that it occurred around a football match when football always had stood for community and that you're united and you do something together - so incredibly sad for the Swedish people and for the families of the two who passed away. But somewhere also it feels like it can bring Sweden a bit closer together maybe, and I think it's important that you dare to stand united in that and it feels like it has become like that after the incident that happened the world of football came together, people who maybe don't watch football have come together and we've come together as a country and show that you're proud of your country and dare to stand with the yellow jersey. Then I can understand there's a fear of course in people who come to watch the matches, and that you can't take away from them because you want to be able to watch a football match without losing your life. So, I believe and hope we can continue to be proud over Sweden and stand united.

As a player, what does it mean to see stands that are bathing in yellow? Incredibly amazing. It's what you've dreamt about growing up and it's nice to come from England and come home to Sweden and feel this support in your back, and see all yellow supporters on location, to feel that love and the energy you get from playing in front of that audience - it gives so much. And you feel such pride standing there and sing the national anthem, at the same time as it is a packed out arena and everyone sings with everything they got. It's very nice, somehow.

Magdalena Eriksson held a bit of a fiery speech on behalf of your supporters after the match against Spain, where they received a little crap they were too sissy and so on. What do you say about the including supporter culture that exists around this national team? I mean, I'm not so read up on it but spontaneously I just feel why should people care? Really. They want to come watch football. I love our supporters. They're heard, they're singing, they show appreciation, they want to hang with us, they support us rain or shine and this critique that came it just makes me go people want to watch football, let them watch football. I don't understand why some must criticise, but for us they mean everything and it's fantastic that they're with us all the time.

Now it's Switzerland and Italy that await and we've gotten to know you now as the right back Nathalie Björn in the national team. How is it to be the right back Nathalie Björn? Yeah, it's a role I feel I've embraced more and more and above all during and after the World Cup, to be given that confidence and have a clear picture of how Peter wants me to play in that right back position, because we know I'm not the one who runs in overlapping, like a good old right back since I've played much centrally previously. So it feels better and better, of course. I feel anyway I have self confidence in that position, even though I still want to play centrally it feels like we've found a solution for that position. So I mean, it becomes better and better.

What do the discussions look like? Now speculations have started due to Amanda Ilestedt had to do individual training start of this gathering. Then many say Nathalie Björn ought to play centrally again. Is there a chance we get to see you play in the middle again or are you right back now? I actually don't know. I think that, with the discussions we've had I think I'm still on the wing. And choosen to see it as I've done it well for that position, that they've gotten what they've wanted out of me. So I don't know. I have hopes I can come into the middle but probably I'll still be on the wing.

What do you think are working on the right, because you say you've grown into that role more and more and managed to embrace it better and better? I think the relations that I have around me now, we've played together pretty much the same 11 which makes the relations easier of course. And then I think it also helps I have both had Johanna Rytting Kaneryd in front of me and Filippa whom I now since before and have played with before. And they've really helped me in that position at the same time as Amanda too from the centre back position. To dare play. We've had pretty much possession on our wing, and especially with the players we have on the right wing they are very skilled with the ball and find these little triangles and play through more than to find behind. And that has Amanda helped me with but above all Filippa and Jojjo to be able to speak about which spaces they want to have the ball in or "if you come in here it becomes easier in this angle" and such. And then defensively you're more exposed as a wingback, it becomes more 1v1 and especially against Spain when you feel there are players eeeeeverywhere. I'm 1 second too late there, then they play here and to keep it up is fucking difficult. But there Amanda has helped me a lot with the communication and been clear with "here is better if you keep in and there it's better if you step. So the communication around and that you have a relation to each other makes it easier to become better.

Do you have time to become stressed in those situations when you feel you're 1 second too late all the time? Well, that you become (laughs). I mean, it felt like Spain had players everywhere and nowhere all over the place and I know I talked with Amanda a little after the game because she stepped out as a fullback and she just "It's players everywhere" and I just "Yeeaahh what am I supposed to do?" (laughs). So you become a little stressed in those situations. Then I know it takes much for them to score of course but this feeling of being 1 second too late, that isn't fun.

How do you handle that? Welllll, in those situations we had recently against Spain it's just trying to keep a compact form on the outside. They can come on an overlap, they're maybe allowed to hit a service but rather that from the wing that we can defend than for them to come in centrally. So kinda find something to go on.

You're also talking about this, how important the relations on the pitch are but it's also the players you mention here you play the closest to that are also those you have a very close relation to outside the pitch. What does it mean to have that? I think like I said it has really helped me much and then when you have played with them - now I've played in the national team for pretty long and know many players well both on and off the pitch. But I also think it can become easier during a period when it's maybe stressful to be able to like dare to ask for help and just be like "Damn it Filippa, I'm not having a good day today" and "I'll help you, I'll talk with you, I'll show me here you can play me. These kind of little things which you maybe don't dare to ask for help for in the same way to a player you maybe don't know as well. Then I actually think, here in the national team we're darn good at getting help from each other. But I believe that this safety to have someone you've known for such a long time, who you have played with for long and know how they function in stressful situations that it helps.

Do you see directly on each other also when it's not a good day? Yeah! (laughs) It's enough with a look and then we're looking and then "Yep yep, today it's one of those days".

How do you help each other then? It's so incredibly important when you have these small situations to be able to talk. Now I'm taking Filippa and Jojjo as examples because it's them I've played with the most. If we've had a throw in or a corner and just "How are you thinking here?" and just "I'll be in this space". Just something short concrete so you know because, for example Jojjo with her qualities I know she's fantastic 1v1. So put her in those 1v1 situations as much as possible. Or Filippa is good at play distributing and to become upright and to find the pace in the matches. So to put them in good situations to get them to grow even more.

They're also some who often occur with you on social media. How is going with the Tiktok account? It's going well! We have a little bit of an idea drought (laughs). I'm not gonna lie. We have some idea drought, we've been a bit lazy but we've actually decided to record some videos during this camp so we'll have some in store. Filippa wants to record this marshmallow-trend, that marshmallow one with... so that one I think we'll do.

Do you have any more ideas in store if you're going to gather a bunch of them together? Yeah well, we said we were going to get two clips each me and Filippa but I don't know if she has done it because I have not done it yet anyway. So we just have to have a sitdown and go through what we're gonna do. We'd wanted to do a dance too but sometimes Filippa needs a little more time to learn the dance (laughs).

She's not as fast learner there? (Laughs) No but she's become so much better at dancing, that she has. So yeah, I don't know. We have to check some more on Tiktok and see if we find something we can jump onto.

Shall we thank Tiktok Filippa has become better at dancing? Yes we shall! Thank you Tiktok for Filippa has some rhythm again.

How much time do you have then, because it's a question many at home wonder, during a national team camp? How much own time is there to work with? We have very much own time. We're training in the mornings, always, and then after training if you have time for the gym you go to the gym and then after lunch it's pretty free until dinner or if we have a meeting or so. But it's often in the afternoons so you have 4 hours where you can do a little whatever you wanna.

Scrolling Tiktok and other things? Yeah. Scrolling Tiktok, watching series, just chilling.

Do you have any series tips then? No, I was watching this new Netflix series Bodies but I didn't think it was super good. I like this criminology, solve murders and I like watching series which are about past tense or that which has been like the 1900th century. It's a little bit like that. It's one and the same body through four eras. So it sounds interesting but it wasn't that good. You don't need to watch that (laughs).

So that one we do not recommend. No! Precisely.

How is it going with the pathologist dreams then? Yeah they're still there, they are. But I have not done something about them. They're there in the back of my head.

This far you're only studying them through series? (Laughs) Precisely. Exactly. Every time it comes a pathologist, a body and an autopsy I say "That's what I'm gonna do afterwards".

Do you have a favourite pathologist? (Laughs) No, I'm not keeping tabs on anyone. I'm not sure it's even called pathologist.

No but I think so. Because it was someone who said it's not called pathologist but (inaudible)?

But I think so. Yeah, I think so to. I say pathologist.

If one was to google you - what do think comes up then? Do you have any idea what people want to know? (Sighs) Uhmmm good... I was thinking like it's usually surely about family.

It's very much family. Yeah, I can imagine that.

"Who are Nathalie Björn's family" and much like "Is Nathalie Björn a relative to Lasse Björn?" Who... who is Lasse Björn?

It's some old hockey player supposedly! Oh yeah! Because I've gotten this question a couple of times...

Yup! ..."Are you a relative to the hockey player?" No.

We can kill that because it's one of the most googled on Nathalie Björn. No we're NOT relatives. Not that I know of.

It's not someone you recognise from family dinners and so on? (Laughs) No, no it's not.

In everyday life you're playing in England. Season up and running now. How do you view the start you've gotten in Everton? We've had a tough start, a really tough start. So it's been very tough mentally this season start. We had matches against teams that we are expected to take points from and we haven't done that. Though it was nice we won the derby at Anfield but... No, it's tough. It's really tough at home.

How are you handling that, then? It's hard, it's a good question. It's been... On my behalf it's been very tough. Partly because you of course lose football matches, that is never fun. The way we're losing, not fun either. So I've come into a bit of... What can you say? It's really tough mentally and after matches feel "What am I going to do?" It's like, I've felt that I've not been in form and then it's so hard too when the team isn't in form. Then it's easy that you yourself maybe aren't on top but I want to be the player who grabs hold on things, but mentally I've really struggled in the matches.

What do you do then, to grab hold on things to get on the right track? We have a sports psychologist who I speak much with at home in the club. Easy accessible and she's very skilled. Tries to pinpoint some different things I can maybe work on myself when it's football-wise or find things I think it's fun to do outside of football to like disengage. But it's a process that takes time when you get into this, not a squirrel's wheel, but like training up for a match - lose a match, training up for a match - lose a match. It wears you down. And the mental then, if the other team scores 1-0 and you have, well, 3 losses in your backpack it becomes a mental rollercoaster. So I'm working very much with her to try finding things to focus on during matches or training to be as good as possible.

What could the things be she's giving tips to focus on? Often it's... We've had a meeting before the season like who you want to be as a football player, or what do I want to train, what do I want to improve? So we tried finding points where I feel I can gain self confidence from, for example my way of playing. I get much self confidence if I win my duels or I'm playing through team units. It's those two points which give the most self confidence and try to focus on that in training and in matches just to try and get into it a little. And then it's easier said than done, because I know that I don't have very much self confidence so I know that but it's hard to regain that self confidence again. So it's a process, yeah.

How important do you think it is to part dare to deal with it, but also part dare to talk about this with the mental game that also exists within football? Because it's easy to see if someone is, like, injured or are limping a little or so but that mental aspect in particular? I think there are so many within football... I don't know if it's you've become older and maybe a bit more understand what is happening. But it's a very special lifestyle we're living. And especially now when we had the World Cup for example. We were speaking a bit about it. We lose a semi final. You have two days to let it go, then you're going to play a bronze medal game. So those emotions, they barely have time to surface and then you're just gonna push those emotions down. You're disappointed, you're angry, you're frustrated because you've lost a semi final. But then you know we don't wanna lose a match about third place. And then when you come home from the championship it's like all emotions come all at once. And then you're processing everything from having been away from your family for 6 weeks, you haven't seen your partner, you have like lived in a bubble with the same people for 6 weeks and now you're completely alone. It was really tough when I came home. I thought it was very tough mentally because you're so used to hang with everyone. And then this feeling came we could've reached the final. We could've taken a silver medal, we could've taken a gold medal. And it happened for like 2 weeks ago, but if feels so close because you don't have time to process and it's a little bit the same in Everton now. It's like you're disappointed, you're annoyed but then you have to go at it again. So yeah, it's been tough after the World Cup.

What was the most difficult with coming home? Was it to be alone with all thoughts and that everything actually caught up with you? Yes, I would say that. It was... I've been at some championships now but I'd say anyway that the World Cup now was the toughest when I came home. Because often this feeling of loneliness comes that you feel alone. I'm living with my sister home in Sweden so she's at home with me and the you like have someone there but it's anyway like this "I've seen the same people 24 hours a day for 6 weeks. What are Lina doing now? What are Filippa doing now?" Even though you're talking with each other it's such a difference, but it's this feeling of emptiness. And then, everything has gone automatic so you have your routines. You know exactly what to wear, you get breakfast served. I mean, everything is to the point. And then you come home and are like "Well what am I gonna do now? Am I gonna watch tv? Am I gonna go for a stroll?" I don't know what to do.

I can imagine it's hard for people who have never been in a bubble in that way to understand this with it becomes such big contrasts and all of a sudden it's a choice what you're gonna have for breakfast and when you're gonna have breakfast. It sounds like the most luxury problem that you get the breakfast served. But it really becomes such contrasts when you've been with the same people, you have these routines and you come home and are like "What am I gonna do now? Mom is working, dad is working. Let's watch some series then" and then you sit there and are like "What's going to happen next?" And it's also when you come home because many have watched the championship, Uppsala is pretty small too. And then you feel "Am I gonna go to the city and just walk around?" It feels almost a little bit weird too when you've been isolated from people for so long. So it really becomes such contrasts but this in particular you say with the emotions, all the emotions come all at once and sometimes it becomes very much to handle.

How have you noticed this too with it's become more attention because you're more visible and you had a World Cup which actually engaged many despite it was on the other side of Earth it was maybe some weird kick off times for those at home? (Laughs) Yeah but that I feel, really, and it's when you come home to Sweden it's like you take part of their bubble a little bit. So it's many many people who stand and watch and like comes up to say "Good championship" and it's very very nice response you've gotten. And it is really huge. Now when I went to the national team camp me, Benni and Filippa - I think it came up like 7 persons at an airport in England and then it's Swedes who've been watching football and they like know. But we were like this "Omg how many people who come up!" because you're not used to it. But it also shows it was many who were engaged this summer and it's really fun.

How do you handle the attention that is, then? You become like shocked they recognise you, you're not wearing football clothes! And then I can imagine it's difficult to recognise someone. But it's fun when they say "Omg it was so fun this summer. Fantastic to follow you", that you have treated something and that I think it's very fun to hear. And then of course when you're out, me and my little sister went grocery shopping once and she just "They're just standing and stare at you over there" and I just "Oh okay, then we go this way then" because you become a bit uncomfortable, but then I understand it too. If I'd seen someone maybe I'd been like "Omg isn't that? I recognise that person" that you like stand staring a little. But it's a bit uncomfortable because you're not used to it.

It's maybe hard then too when not the football clothes are on to place directly: Where do I recognise that face from? Exactly! That you know from if you've seen an actor then you're thinking "Oh it's that character they are in the series" but it isn't because it's an ordinary person. So you think that you know them but you don't.

Have you experienced this also with people have actually greeted you because they think they know you? No, but I've done one myself (laughs).

Who did you greet then? (Still laughing) We were at an event after the World Cup. Then it was, is his name Charlie Gustafsson? Yeah, the actor from "Vår tid är nu".

Yup. So I waved, because I was thinking we know each other. But we don't. He waved back and I was like "But omg I don't know him, I don't know him" but well, it became good anyway (laughs). Got a wave back, but you become so weird in your head sometimes when that happens.

What did you think? Did it become like uncomfortable directly and did you start to wriggle or? How fast did you realise "Oh yeah, we don't know each other"? It was pretty fast. I waved, then he waved back and then I was like this "We've never spoken with each other" so it was a bit stiff. But then, it really was chill. We talked a little football and such. But I was like this "He must think I'm very weird. Just stand and wave".

So now you know each other so to speak, so you'll wave next time you see him? I'm gonna wave next time. Yeah, that I'll do. Yup.

If we're going to round this off then with what awaits: Switzerland and Italy. It's important matches to get to the Olympics, it is very much at stake. You have to win, basically, because it's a group win that's required to get to the Olympics. How much pressure do you feel ahead of these matches? It's really the knife against the throat like we talked a bit about after Spain. 1 point versus 0 point is a damn big difference. You love to play matches with things at stake. It's among the most fun, or why you're playing football. You want to win, you want to advance but it's tough. It's really tough to get to the Olympics now with this concept. Like you say, we need to win every match to advance, so there's no time to have a bad day or like... Yeah, you have to win and at the same time it's fun to play these matches you have much to lose too.

Has it become any teasings at home turf due to you have Italy in the group? It became a rather tough match against Italy last or are you glad that you won? I'm so happy we won. No, but that match was... chaotic. It was really 45 minutes of standing in the own penalty area away with the ball, away with the ball. But no, we haven't talked (laughs) about it actually ahead of this match. But I said "Can you please win against Spain it'd been very fun for Sweden".

So you've asked for a little favour ahead of the match? (Laughs) Yes, please win the match.

What do you think about the return meeting with Italy, then? Will it be as chaotic? No I don't think it'll be as chaotic. I think it's going to be a little better grass pitch, we'll know the time, we can see how much time is left. So I'm hoping we can have much better control this match. But, yeah. We'll see how the match picture becomes.

Yeah, it was a bit messy with the surrounding conditions there. Yeah, the worst thing was you didn't know what the time was and the referee didn't want to reply how much time it was left. Then you become like this "Well ok. Wha... what do we do now? How long time? Is it half an hour we're talking about, is it three minutes?" It was a little chaos.

Speaking of that, how good perception do you have as a player for how long you have been playing? No I'm really bad at that. I mean, when you're playing with a clock you can look some times at times. Then you can see "Yeah, how long until half time?" Sometimes It feels like I've been playing for an hour and then I've played for 14 minutes and then it's "Oh, it goes so slowly" and sometimes it's like "Oh it's already half time". But especially towards the end, then you want to see "Ok, the extra time. How long do we have left to keep fighting?" So it's nice to have a clock so you know the time when you're playing (laughs).

Yeah it's nice that we know there will be a clock for both these matches. Then we'll see how long it feels the matches are! Yeah exactly! (laughs)

Great, Nathalie. We thank you so very much! Thank you!

Omg fab your a 🌟

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I saw earlier today that you and another Obikin writer I really enjoy left/had to take a break from twitter, and I wanted to send some love. I figured this might happen because that side of the fandom has become really aggressive and uncomfortable (and frankly, really creepily fetishistic), like, legit acting like schoolyard bullies over their kinks, and I wanted to send some love and support your way. You're an amazing writer and seem like a lovely person, and I'm really sorry you were made to feel so uncomfortable and unheard by what should've been your own community. No one deserves to be forced to see their identity constantly reduced a fetish, or worse, a joke. You're not alone, and you're very appreciated.

No need to post this, but I just wanted to slide some <3 to you after a rough few days (weeks, months, etc) in the Obikin fandom.

thank you, this means more than i can really say. being trans is a source of a great deal of pain in my life, pain that i do in fact get therapy for, but i'm trapped living in an area where transition is impossible, fascists bring AR-15s to pride, and there's no way for me to live a life that is authentically my own. i'm trapped in a body that i hate and has caused me just so much pain and grief.

i have used that pain and turned it into art, writing almost 700k words of obikin stories that i've given away for free to other people, especially meant for the ones suffering like me, trying to offer them solidarity and escape. people have enjoyed them and i'm proud that i've made connections with people this way. it's healed something inside of me that i hadn't known was a wound that even could heal. i guess for the first time, i didn't feel lonely. the community has given me meaning back to my life, and i am grateful beyond words.

so many people have been accepting and kind, that i took it for granted.

i just.. obikin has been the first community where i felt seen and accepted for who i was. i love obikin so much, and obikin twitter was a site i wanted to join because i kept getting links for incredible art and wanted to just see it all myself. i met such cool people there, and have had a mostly wonderful time engaging with other people who are just as obsessed with obikin as i am.

however, there is a small community of people on that site who really, really love the kink of feminizing men, drawing them in an exaggeratedly feminine style with breasts, mpreg, and lactation, and calling him "mommy" over and over, things which make me very uncomfortable, but i strongly support their right to make the art they like.

SO i have spent literal months blocking and muting every single time i see it. i know very well that my triggers are not other people's problem. it's frustrating that sometimes when i have blocked people, it's been seen as rude by the blocked people, but the alternative is to see content that makes me intently uncomfortable, so what do they want me to do? i don't shame people for liking it, again it's a ME issue, so i've tried so hard in good faith to curate my feed.

but no matter what i do, almost every time i log into twitter, i still see untagged images of kinks that i find just really upsetting. so i asked for people to tag their feminization stuff as a courtesy so that i could effectively filter it out. i didn't demand it, just explained that it hurt and like, asked for some consideration. i just figured that idk once people realized they were inadvertently hurting others they would be kind enough to stop. we're all part of the same community, and it's what I know others in the space would be kind enough to do.

it didn't seem like that big of an ask to me. idk i'm like. genuinely hurt that people would do that and don't understand why they couldn't just either tag it or block me for asking if they didn't want to. either would have been fine! it was hard seeing the general sentiment being that people should just get over it and avoid asking for help. it felt like people were choosing to be mean instead of kind, and i felt shamed and rejected from participating with everyone else bc my trauma was inconvenient.

idk i just thought in a space for queer people to enjoy transgressive fiction there would be more understanding of the diverse needs and sensibilities of the community. i think tagging kinks is a low-energy way to help protect other people who are passionate about obikin, and it makes other people feel welcome and heard in a space that's for everyone to share.

i've been really hurt by this experience, and it's started to feel like.. if my feelings don't matter as a member of the obikin community, why am i offering thousands of hours of my time to them? as someone who writes from a place of pain rooted in my trans identity, it seems pretty unfair that they're entitled to feast on the fruit of my hurt if they don't care about me as a person at all.

tldr; i left twitter and don't think i'll be going back.

💌, 💘, ☯️

💘Is there any posted fic you want to rework/re-edit/re-write?

Mhmmmmmm I'd Wait Here Forever just because I know how I would do it differently now. I was overworked and stressed out with real world stuff when I was writing that fic so I think I was just really wanting to get it out and it didn't quite come together as I envisioned.

I'm torn about saying Hardest Hit from Feather's Kiss because I know people love it and I do too! But I also don't remember writing much of it and like the characterization is off in my opinion. But also I'm proud of it and finishing it and learning about hockey so I let it be.

☯️how do you think engaging with each other through tumblr, twitter, comments, kudos, creates healthy fandom experiences? How do you deal with that if you're not a social person/experience social anxiety?

I am SUCH an introvert. I get it. I am zapped on socializing most of the time so it's hard. But I've also found some of the greatest friends that I can talk to that are effortless to be around. I know it's difficult but eventually you find your people and those are the people who show up.

That being said, I think for this to community to grow and stay healthy, I think it's a two way street. I think there has to be some effort on everyone's part. It's very easy to get caught up in the brain rot and just consume consume consume without stopping to consider what you are contributing to the community. "Oh, I'm not a writer and I can't draw. I just am here for a good time." Great! Do you comment? Do you reblog? Do you leave a kudos?

This should first and foremost be a place of fun and enjoyment. You should be able to come here and escape for a little while and if you read one of my fics and get to just be with your own self and have fun for an hour then that's incredible! If you sit and listen to a podfic while at your job that you hate and it gets you through the day then that's amazing. I love writing! People love drawing! People love podficcing and giffing and reccing fics! But that doesn't mean it doesn't requite some effort.

So I think it helps to revaluate your perspective on things. You're not a social person or you have social anxiety and that's a hundred percent fine. But think of a community as a garden. You've got all these amazing fruits and vegetables that are available for grabs. But what happens when people take and don't water the soil? What happens when people take and then don't donate to the supplies box? What happens when you don't pull out the weeds and spend some time and effort and care to the garden? Eventually it dries up and the garden disappear.

I think it's important for all of us to say to ourselves "how can I contribute to this experience? Am I taking without giving anything back?" It's an easy fix! Comment, reblog, kudos. I am my most awkward self when I am commenting on a fic but I know what it's like to spend countless hours working on something just to hear nothing in return.

We cultivate the experiences we create and that takes effort. And sometimes you don't have it in you. I get that. I have a tab section on my phone of fics I still owe a comment on. I have fics that have been open in my tabs forever because I just don't have the attention span for 70k that day. But I am intentional with my effort. I choose to spread kindness and encouragement even if it makes me uncomfortable sometimes because I think I sound so weird but I know someone worked hard on this thing I got to enjoy.

It can mean the world. Someone just a few weeks ago reached out because they heard I was having a bad day and now we talk almost daily.

So I guess I think I would just say try. You might be surprised!

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

Mhmmmm let me see if I can find something in my 100th fic:

“Eddie!” Chimney all but hissed his name. His eyes darted to the curtain and the closed door just beyond it that Eddie fully intended to walk through on his own. “You can’t!”  “You would if it was Maddie!” Eddie shot back and Chimney flinched with the blow.

[daisynik7]

MY SWEET, DARLING ANGEL WIFEY, MY SNOOKUMS I"M BACK FROM THE GRAVE, I’M HERE AND I FEEL LIKE ASS BECAUSE I HAVEN’T RESPONDED TO YOUR SWEET MESSAGES I’M SO SORRY 😭😭😭

you’ve always given me a heads-up before your breaks and it’s something that i hope you don’t feel pressure to do but i always appreciate the gesture, and i hope you’ll accept my apology. i ran myself into a rut a little bit ago without a distinct cause, which is annoying 🫠 but gradually been climbing out and regaining composure, but i’m good now! 

sincerely i hope you’ve been well! how have you been, any plans? hoping you have days off work with the holidays. also Merry Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to you, my love! <3 continue to enjoy your break, i never want to assume the absence of difficulty of the holidays for anyone, whether spent with family or alone, i hope you’re treating yourself and eating dishes that make you feel good, i send you all my love regardless!<3

i hope the last week of this year for you is restful and prepares you for all the good things to come in 2024, you’ve been working so hard, especially these past few months and yet you’re still able to find time to prioritize you, that’s amazing for you!🫶🏼 most of all i hope you’re proud of your accomplishments and what you’ve achieved not just in work projects but in your personal life, and of course, your writing that takes time out of your day but has long graced this dogshit app with quality😌as well as your efforts to uplift other writers in this community and your credit to the original! 

i’m so so so grateful to have (married and) crossed paths with a sweet and gentle soul like you, for as long as you’d like i will be here to share your excitement and cheer on your success and do my best in providing insight or even just comfort for your insecurities that you will overcome, and of course a source of snuggles when you're in your funks or the seasonal depression hits, because i know you’d do the same for me.🥹 

in my absence, i send you a surplus of hugs, kisses, and cuddles, plus the emergency reserve. resolutions or not i will be just as proud of you (if not a little more because i can 🫢) for what you did this year and in the upcoming year!<3 i love you dearly sweet daisy, thank you for your company and for occupying my mind 24/7, my fav permanent resident in my lil mind space 🥰🥰🥰

THEA! SNOOKUMS! WIFEY! oh my goodness, am I so happy to hear from you! there is no reason for you to apologize whatsoever, please don't feel bad about anything! I'm sorry to hear you were in a rut but I'm so glad to hear that you're good now! I hope that you can enjoy these last days of 2023 with high spirits.

Merry Christmas (if you celebrate) and Happy New Year to you too, my love! I had plenty of delicious food these past few days, enough to keep me well-nourished into the new year LOL. I hope you had the same! Did you cook or eat anything special?

I'm going to take the next few days to reflect on my year! I think that's always healthy to do, right? I used to write down new years resolutions as a kid, but I'm realizing that we as a society should appreciate ourselves more about what we were already able to accomplish, whether they are big things or small things. It's important to have goals for the future, but I think it's just as important to pat ourselves on the back for what we've already done, so yeah! I'm going to start doing that with myself more and I hope you do the same!

You are always too sweet to me, I don't know what I did to have the blessing of knowing you. very grateful to have you by my side and that we both have each other to rely on! I'm always here to root for you, to cheer you on, to shower you in love and support just as you do for me. I'm so proud of everything you've been able to accomplish this year and am excited to see you continue to thrive in 2024. Whether it's in your personal life, in your hobbies (like writing, bc you're incredible at it!), or whatever else you put your mind to. I know you're going to keep shining brighter and bright, my beautiful, twinkling star. ✨

I love you so so much thea!! I'm accepting all your affection and sending you all of my own. Smooches, snuggles, hand-picked flowers, and so much more! Thinking of you always and I missed you so so much! 😭💜

[lunarnights95]

okay, what. the. fuck??? LITERALLY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? This shit irks me so bad. Hang on, I'm about to go on a tangent.

first of all, Sarah, you are an incredible person and a fabulous writer, and you have a wonderful life to take care of outside this app. this person clearly doesn't understand that they should be GREATFUL for the fact that you're spending even a MOMENT of your time in your already hectic and demanding life to write stories. so don't listen to this twit, and I'm sorry for all the shit and low-key harassment you've been receiving. You don't deserve this at all, babes.

secondly, people who write fanfics are not doing it for OTHERS. They are doing it for THEMSELVES. for many, this platform is an outlet, a way to express oneself with others who understand you. for example, the group SAS regarding Loki? that's an outlet for many, including myself. writing fics is another outlet to be used in multiple ways. it can be to clear ones thoughts that are simply too jumbled or incoherent with so many ideas, allowing them to focus on other aspects of life. it can also be a way to allow ones creativity to flow freely with no feelings of shame or guilt with what they feel or think. whether it be surrounding a character, an emotion, a situation, a desire, or anything.

thirdly, when an author or fic writer or even any type of content creator becomes too consumed in the constant need and desperation of wanting to make their readers/viewers happy rather than themselves, it results in them to burn out and no longer want to continue forward. you watch as a once amazing creator go from a passionate and bright individual to a mentally exhausted and drained person who no longer wants to continue what makes them happy. how would I know such a thing? because I used to write all the time, I used to write fics that I was happy about and proud to be a part of a community that appreciated them. then the demand came around, and the sudden desire to constantly be approved and adored for such hard work became a necessity. after a short time of this, i stopped doing this for me and started doing it for others, which resulted in me swiftly dropping the hobby entirely. my creative outlet was now a burden, which left me reeling with the constant buzzing in my skull of ideas making damn near impossible to think. as well as being forced to face reality 24/7 with no breaks or sense of relief. no one should have to witness or experience their passion die right in front of their eyes because of other people.

fourth, this is to ALL the creators out there when it comes to people like this? don't even waste your breath, honey. you being happy with your work and what you're putting out is what matters, not what other people think or like, no no. if YOU are happy, then that's the greatest achievement. everyone on this platform who writes, draws, films, sings, or anything at all, don't listen to the negative voices in the crowd. I know it may seem easier to let those voices taint everything you've worked for, making it tempting to give up. just take a step back, breath, and relax. you're doing amazing, your work is perfect just the way it is, and there are true supporters out there standing with you.

just in case this person tries to go to other accounts associated with Sarah, I'm gonna tag some writers or creators I adore so they're wary of these people.

(These are only some. Feel free to add on more if the desired)

Why can’t you write more faster? If others can write so soon why can’t you?

What is in the fucking water this week I swear to god.

Anon, I’m currently working 2 jobs. Not to mention my mental health is always at risk of taking a wobble and I have to keep a close watch on it.

But even if none of those things were happening I don’t owe anyone an unending stream of fics. I write when I can and when I’m in the mood, and strangely enough I don’t have the time or the desire to sit at my laptop for endless hours writing fanfic. My life doesn’t revolve around this site. Jesus

HI! I'm new and I'm absolutely hooked thank you for everything youre doing on here i am in love (the past experiences!AU is SO GOOD i cant get over it and also cant get enough)

but before i start flooding you with prompts (hehe 😈) how do you feel about sub!seb? it might be that youve already done that and i suck at searching but tumblr keeps coming up empty with every tag i can think to search for :( sorry if i missed it and youve got seb (any seb, really) on here somewhere, could you maybe direct me towards that please?

(i am also ready to sell the concept to you if youre at all interested, like i have a whole pitch prepared im so invested its embarrassing)

also may i humbly offer you some cake 🍰

Alright everyone, gather round we have a new anon! Everyone welcome 🍋 to the horny gang! I look forward to all the chaos and asks you have in store for me.

Get that pitch out! Trust me, we would all be VERY happy to hear your entire pitch and all your ideas we LOVE unhinged anons who send long thoughts constantly.

But no, we haven't talked about sub!seb yet and yes, we definitely should. I'm gonna share some initial thoughts and then you can unleash all your chaos in my ask box.

Seb is a pretty chilled sub. He knows what he likes, and what he likes is you.

He isn't a brat, but he is always talking? He loves to joke around and make sarcastic comments throughout scenes, he never disobeys or undermines you, but he just loves having the constant communication?

I think he has a mild pain kink. He doesn't like hardcore whipping or anything, but he does love when you pull his hair, leave scratches all over him and really just mark him up.

He also loves edging? Maybe even long term edging. Like you'll edge him, then send him on his way to a race weekend and he isn't allowed to cum the entire race weekend.

He doesn't like pegging all that much. You do it sometimes, but mostly he just likes when you use toys on him. Using vibrators and plugs on him are amazing.

And he LOVES dressing up for you. Sometimes it's lingerie, sometimes it's makeup, sometimes it's a suit.

You'll tell him to look nice for you, and give him a time limit to be done by and then he just sprints off to the bedroom because he can't wait to make himself look good for you.

Also I think sub!seb is very unplanned? Like yes sometimes you guys will set aside time to scene with each other, but Sebastian's absolute favourite is just when things kinda just happen.

Like you don't have a scene planned or anything, but he looked so good at dinner and yeah never mind dessert you're taking him home immediately.

As a whole, I think seb is very VERY proud to be your submissive. He loves you so much, he loves being your submissive so much. You go to kink spaces regularly and he wears his collar with so much pride.

Lastly, threesomes? Incredible. He loves bringing younger submissives into your bed for the night? And then he gets to show how to be a good sub, how to be good for you.

@thayerslayer you were one of the first KISS blogs I came across and ever interacted with. Kat, you're so sweet and amazing and I would give you the world my friend.

@ericcarrwhatafox I remember when you very first embraced me into the KISSblr community. You've always been so sweet and kind, Becc. The interactions between you and Kat always melted my heart.

@kissmaidens-blog Kylie my dear, I am so happy we've become friends and mutuals. Seeing you pop up in my notifs always makes my day. You're always so sweet and kind to me and others.

@to-the-stars-and-forward BESTIE!!!!!!! To think.....Gene Simmons is what brought us together. Rabs, I don't know what I would do without you. Your content in the KISScord server always kills me, but it always makes me smile.

@you-were-just-a-dream MY OTHER BESTIE!!!!! Saturn....oh my lord how I love you my dear. I'm so happy to call you bestie as well as friend. You've been so kind to me since day 1 on here.

@doodoostinky Sloane, we really should interact more ❤❤❤ I love your content AND YOURE SO FREAKING TALENTED WITH A PEN!!!!! You're sweet, kind, and so generous. I'm more than proud to call you my friend.

@your-local-rockstar-simp Ava!!! I absolutely adore our friendship. Your requests never cease to amuse me, but I live for them. The thirst between us is utterly hilarious, but I love it. You're also incredibly sweet and kind beyond words. I'm so glad we're friends

@blutandbone we really should interact more!!!! But you've always been very nice to me and others.

@its-forks I'm so glad you started the KISScord server as well as pioneered the #KISSblr tag. I hope we get to interact more together my friend

@miasmatically @kisspits I enjoy the interactions we have and look forward to plenty more to come. My inbox and ask box are always open.

@jack-spawn you are so sweet and absolutely awesome! I love the interactions we have, especially so that you have exposed me to new music. I think it's really cool. You're also so kind and thoughtful as well.

@vinces-live-wire Kayla, omg where do I start? It was an instant connection between us and I cherish it so. You're sweet, kind, funny. Your posts always bring a smile to my face and seeing you in my notifs makes me smile even more. You're an awesome person and om glad to call you my friend

@katiegameplays though we're still getting to know each other, I wanted to say I enjoy our interactions thus far. You are such an amazing friend, especially to Kayla. You two are tow peas in a pod and ya'll both always make me smile.

@wonhakwoon though we may be on completely different sides of the globe, I'm honored to call you my friend. You're a really awesome person with an awesome taste in music. Our interactions together always make me laugh and giggle and I love it. You're never completely alone in this mess of a world ❤

@songbirds-sweet Cassie, you are so genuine and sweet. I know i probably flood your notifs a lot, but that's what happens when you become friends with me 😅😅😅 I become your hype man. I will tag you weirdest and funniest shit. I'm happy to be your friend and look forward to so many years to come of our friendship.

@kirk-dammnitt Sophia, oh my god. Our degenerate and unhinged thirsting we share is priceless. You were so shy to be blunt and open and it was the funniest and sweetest thing. Now look at us 😂😂😂 you're so kind and sweet, but your degenerate and unhinged side is a hot mess that I live for. You always know how to make my day and I always seem to send you thrust material at the worst possible time.

@thatnerdwriter @dedicatedtopapahet even though we are still getting acquainted with each other, I'm happy to have you as a mutual and a friend, Kate. I'm looking forward to see where time takes us and our friendship.

If I didn't tag you, it's nothing personal. There's just so many amazing people I have come across and befriended that it's sometimes hard to keep track of everyone. I am eternally grateful to each and wvery single one of you. You have no idea how precious our friendships are to me. I enjoy every moment we have on here and our discord communities. You all have become family no matter how close or how far we may be, we are still family.
