Seen people share their headcanons of what would Luffy call Crocodile if Crocodad was Real, and it did get me wondering

Like on one hand, Luffy has a perfect track-record with respecting trans people and not misgendering anyone, so if Crocodad Real, Luffy wouldn't misgender him

But also, Luffy has two braincells, and having two people to call "dad" would probably be confusing for him. And Luffy doesn't seem like the type of guy who'd either of his parents "Father" either. Canonically Luffy tends to use more affectionate terms for his family, including Dragon despite never having ever met him ("tou-chan", "ji-chan" for Garp, "nii-chan" for Ace. Note the lack of the polite "o" at the begining, and the use of "chan" instead of "san". The take-away here is that he's basically being a bit familiar and kind of affectionate)

And let us not forget, how Luffy loves giving nicknames to people

So it would be perfectly on-brand for Luffy to come up with a new nickname for Crocodile, if only to help differentiate The Dads

(Like yes, Luffy does technically have a nickname for Crocodile already ("wani", lit. "crocodile"), but it's not really an affectionate nickname (or a particularly disrespectful one either, kind of neutral (though calling someone you're not friends with by a nickname is kind of rude)). And while Luffy can and does drop the funny nicknames for people if he decides he likes them enough (see Hammock turning into Hancock, or Luffy learning Bonney's name and using it because he felt bad for her), if Luffy did learn about Crocodile being his other dad and wanted to treat him as such (which he also might not, to be fair)... yeah he could come up with a new nickname)

Now the question just is... what kind of a nickname would Luffy then come up with?

And because I'm a fucking loser with a passion for translation and localization, I'm almost specifically interested in what kind of a nickname Luffy would come up with in Japanese. And partially because, depending on the nickname, it could just be the exact same nickname in English too. Like Luffy's "Yama-o" got localized as "Yamabro" because the "o" (written as 男, lit. "man") needed to be translated and localized for the nickname to hit the same in English. Same for shit like "split head" for Foxy or "giant shallot" for Moria, or "wani" getting localized as "gator" because Luffy calling Crocodile a "crocodile" as a nickname would not make any sense in English lmao

So... a cute nickname that makes it easy for Luffy to call Crocodile his "dad" without it getting confusing with calling Dragon "dad". Maybe something that ties to his name already and preferably rolls off the tongue easily in Japanese... Like we have our Crocodads and Dadodiles but these nicknames are based in English, so they don't roll off the tongue nicely -> Can't imagine Luffy saying either. But... I think the fans are onto something there... There must be a variation of this nickname that would work well in Japanese...

Papadile.

I could see Luffy coming up with a nickname like that. It would roll off the tongue pretty easily. The only counter argument against it I can think of would be that Luffy does not seem like the kind of guy who would call anyone "papa". Like that word does not fit in his mouth.

...Anything else?

Well. I guess there is the third, forbidden option of Luffy calling him "oyaji" ("pops"), much like Whitebeard's crew called their captain too.

But that just leads us to an interesting thought; what the fuck would Crocodile prefer Luffy call him?

I mean this is Sir "Call me what you will" Crocodile, who generally does not seem to care that much about what people call him. Like we could take that and just assume Crocodile would not give a fuck about what Luffy called him, but it's also possible this could be like The One Exception to The Rule. And there's many potential reasons why too

Like there's the practical side of things where it could be a pain in Crocodile's ass if the world found out the two were related, because it'd mean anything bad happening to either one could be used against the other. Someone targetting Luffy could be then used intentionally to target Crocodile and viceversa. As Dragon said, a child is a parent's weak spot after all. So it could still be in Crocodile's self-interest to keep their blood relation a secret. But also; Crocodile had to leave his child behind. Much like how Olvia felt like she had no right to call herself Robin's mom, it'd make sense to me if Crocodile felt kind of the same. That regardless of their blood connection, he had no right to call himself Luffy's father, let alone deserve to be called that after what he'd done to Luffy.

So maybe Crocodile would prefer to be just called by his name. Maybe he'd be satisfied with that. Perhaps being called "pops" would lowkey annoy the shit out of him because it would just remind him of That Asshole Who Took His Hand and beat his ass. Which, y'know, fair. Perhaps "Papadile" would be just a bit too ridiculous and cutesy for him tolerate. And perhaps Luffy calling him "dad" (or "father", or any variation of it) would be a lot more emotionally compromising to Crocodile than he'd like to admit, especially if he believed he would never be called that

But knowing Luffy, if he knows being called "dad" made Crocodile happy (even if he didn't want to admit it), and if Luffy did decide he liked Crocodile/accepted him as his other dad... He'd probably keep on calling Crocodile some variation of "dad", even if he insisted that "Crocodile was fine"

Also worth noting that according to this SBS, if Croc did raise a child that child would use 父上 ("chichiue"), which is quite a formal way to call someone Father

So that would be Crocodile's canon preferred term but god knows there'd be no way in hell he'd be able to convince Luffy to call him that, shit's way too formal for Luffy

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Sir Crocodile #Crocodad #I think the most likely thing would be Luffy calling Dragon the cutesy ''tou-chan'' and Crocodile ''otou-san''#It would be more formal than Luffy normal would use but I do feel like Crocodile would veto ''oyaji'' if Luffy tried that #Also considdering the two's relationship so far I think Luffy could try to be SLIGHTLY more formal with Croc than with Dragon #Like they did try to kill each other. Perhaps Croc hasn't earned the -chan from Luffy y'know lmao #But if Luffy wanted to specifically come up with a new **nickname** then Papadile seems the most likely #Regardless I do feel like Papadile would be what like what the Strawhats could start calling Crocodile though lmao #(Namely Nami Sanji and Usopp) (They're not immune to using nicknames for comedic effect) (And let's be real it'd be funny)#(I'd say Robin wouldn't call him that but you know if she wanted to tease him while knowing he can't really stop her. Go off queen)#(Jinbei would just call him by his name though still I'm sure) (Zoro Franky and Brook could go either way)

SHU + ALBAN & S/O WITH CHRONIC BODY PAIN

fluff + nsfw headcanons | tw: none :) fluffy fluff

Shu

— shu has some spells that soothe your pain, though they don’t get rid of it entirely and for that he feels slightly guilty.. you tell him you’re used to the constant aching of your body, but he still feels bad yknow? seeing you hurting makes him hurt too

— offers to give you massages whenever the pain is affecting you more than usual. his fingers must be magic too, because they always manage to soothe your aching limbs

— shu doesn’t want to make you feel incapable of doing things on your own, so he tends not to do anything special to help you unless you explicitly ask for it/are in danger of injuring yourself without his aid

— he 100% helps with lifting absolutely everything by the way. he may not look particularly buff, but shu is pretty strong despite this. more “sorcerer magics,” you guess

— he’s very goofy when he helps you move/walk around btw. shu knows how frustrating your disability is for you to navigate, so he tries his best to help lighten the mood whenever possible

— “oh, hey! did ya need help with anything? ah, your legs are giving you trouble again..? don’t worry, i have just the thing! i’ve been practicing enchanting this carpet to fly, and i was thinking-”

— ^ speaking of, he definitely makes puns about him being the mischievous, charming aladdin to your distressed yet gorgeous prince/princess/royalty whenever he can

— ^ (though perhaps he’s just trying to say that he thinks a magic carpet ride would be not only soothing for your aching limbs, but also a tad bit romantic… who knows?)

— on the topic of helping you shower/bathe, shu doesn’t really mind. he does blush up a storm all the while, but he absolutely does not attempt to push for anything sexual when he’s helping you get clean

— shu views bathing/showering as softer intimacy. when he washes your hair or rinses the soap suds from your body, he wants to see you relaxed and comfortable

— ^ to him, it’s priceless to see you for once being able to ignore the way your body is constantly hurting

— also goes out of his way to look for resources outside of the home for you. if physical therapy helps with your disability and you want to try it, he’s sure to point out some specific places that are available for it!

NSFW:

— prefers to hold you in his lap, resting your back against his chest. it’s comfortable for you, and it’s close- close enough that if you have any pain spikes, shu can stop everything and take care of you properly

— he keeps his hands pressed firmly into your hips, his nails digging into the skin of your lower stomach ever so slightly

— ^ it’s never enough to cause any pain, but it’s always just the perfect amount of pressure to let you know that shu isn’t letting go anytime soon

— ^^ of course, this position also makes it very easy for shu to lift your hips and assist you with riding him.. (i say assist, but tbh he finds it rather hot when you simply allow him to control the way your body moves against him lmao)

— shu is one who has a body worship kink, though he’s not really vocal about it. instead, he tends to lavish your skin in loving kisses and bites; he’ll leave hickies on every part of you that he can reach, though he favors your stomach, hips, and your clavicle

— ^ seriously, he’ll leave hickies on your arms and legs too if you don’t tell him not to.. he has absolutely zero shame!

— ^^ words often fail him, so shu tries his best to show you just how deeply he adores every single part of you, body and mind, which is where the body worship comes in. your disability doesn’t make him love you any less, and he wants to make sure you’re aware of that

— will never get off on seeing you cry, even if it’s from pleasure. he just doesn’t like the sight of tears on your darling face :( even if they’re not tears of pain, he wouldn’t want to make you cry

— ^ in that same vein, shu will not try overstimulation with you. he worries that if he goes too far, you’ll end up getting hurt and not realizing it right away due to your senses being overloaded

— he does enjoy teasing you a bit, however. making you squirm and gasp as he kneads your hips/thighs under his fingers, whispering in your ear about how precious you are, getting so needy for him-

— “you look so breathtaking like this already.. i bet you could cum just from me touching you like this, right? haha, that would be really cute. would you let me do that to you, if i asked nicely..?”

Alban

— at first, alban is extremely concerned with the fact that your body is always hurting in some way. he doesn’t outright ask why that is until one day your legs are in so much pain you can’t even bear to move them

— “oh fuck- babe, it’s not usually this bad is it? should we go to the ER?”

— when you explain that this sort of pain is just a part of your daily life, he’s calmer, but still worried about you :(

— baby absolutely helps with anything you need. he doesn’t smother you, but he’s going to ask at least 5 times daily if you need assistance with anything

— whenever you need to go up/down the stairs and your legs are in particularly bad shape that day, alban will be there! usually he just holds your hand and guides you, making sure he’s positioned so that he can catch you if you stumble

— if you’re struggling to walk up/down the stairs very significantly, his hands are supporting your waist and back, one of your arms slung around his shoulders so he can carry most of your weight

— helping you bathe/shower was something that took a bit of getting used to; alban blushes very easily, so he may pass out the first few times… but he doesn’t give up! eventually, he’s able to help you without getting flustered

— i imagine that he tries to be calm and relaxed whilst helping you bathe, but sometimes he can’t help but go overboard when trying to comfort you and he ends up just absolutely drowning the bath in bubbles 😭

— also if you don’t mind him doing so, alban will give piggyback rides when your pain is making it difficult to move too much

— ^ doesn’t want to baby you or make you think he sees you as incapable, he just likes to be a bit silly with the ways that he helps you

— “huh? you don’t think you’ll be able to walk around much today..? don’t worry, your beloved alban knox is here to save the day!“ he proceeds to pick you up like a sack of potatoes lmao

NSFW:

— due to his concern for your condition, alban prefers positions where you’re lying on your back or stomach. he’ll do whatever you want to do, but he’s most comfortable knowing that you’re not in a position that will hurt you

— alban’s so so sweet to you, he’s incredibly gentle not only when you’re having sex, but all the time. when you two are intimate it’s somehow so much more sweet though

— ^ his touches are featherlight, his voice soft and eyes shimmering with an almost reverential gaze and a blush traveling from the tips of his ears down to his chest

— refuses to pin you down or hold you in place during sex at all. your body is in constant pain as is, and he doesn’t even want to think about accidentally hurting you while he’s getting too lost in his own pleasure

— praise kink (giving.) he just wants you to know that he sees how much you struggle every day and he wants to reward you for being so strong

— ^ ahh imagine him like kneeling between your legs and looking up at you, his cheek pressed against your thigh as he tells you how absolutely perfect you are, how good you are for letting him take care of you <333

— ^ adding to that. he’s aware that you have a few insecurities due to your disability, and he tries his best to stomp out those feelings both during and outside of sex

— you are genuinely perfect to him, no matter what, and he tells you as much whilst his fingers stroke along every inch of sensitive skin he can reach

— “my love.. my perfect, wonderful, gorgeous angel. you are my most precious treasure; not even the most expensive items in the world could even begin to measure up to what you mean to me.”

— alban prefers to go slowly so as not to injure you, so a lot of the time sex with him can last for hours; he could spend the entire night on foreplay alone, honestly..

— the first time you two had sex was when alban began the whole praise and body worshipping thing. it was entirely for you, at first

— then along the way alban realized that he kind of got off on making you squirm with his adoring praises and barely-there touches

— he was kissing along your thighs and leaning up to nip at the jut of your hips, his voice low as he told you how gorgeous you looked while whining his name..

— didn’t realize he was grinding against the bed until he came in his boxers in under 15 minutes, burying his face against your thighs and choking on a gasp 💀

— poor boy was really embarrassed and almost cried.. you ended up having to comfort him until he was ready to try again

— ^ he didn’t disappoint of course, but he’s always slightly flustered whenever you bring up you two’s first time together :)

the story of you - bucky barnes x reader

“If I’m out of line, Just show me the door I promise you, I I won’t come here no more” - door by i don’t know how, but they found me

Plot: Bucky and the late night bartender in an almost empty bar make a connection. If only he could get over his past. Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female!Reader (very slight) Warnings: A few mentions of Bucky’s past as the Winter Soldier (but nothing too graphic), alcohol, blood, and the anxiety and negative feelings/self doubt about himself he has afterwards. As always, if I miss any triggers please let me know! Notes: This is just a little, short Bucky thing I wrote. I hope you like it. Thank you to @thesundrop / @astartothemoon for my divider! Not beta’d, so any mistakes are my own.

Will this be continued? Let’s see, LMAO.

“Rough night, huh?” Bucky looks up and sees the face of the bartender staring back at him. A small smile plays on her lips. Bucky feels himself blushing. So much for being understated. That’s why he came to this bar, one away from his apartment, in the first place. This is a place where nobody knows him, and where he can just be Bucky Barnes for a while. Not the Winter Soldier, and not the monster. At least they can’t see his metal arm. At least the bartender is cute, though. He glances at the name tag on her shirt that reads “Y/N”.

“It’s that easy to tell, huh?” he chuckles awkwardly. But then again, it’s not too difficult to assume that a man like him would be sitting alone in an almost empty bar on a Tuesday night. Especially not when they look as tired and haunted as Bucky does. Honestly, he’s surprised she hasn’t said anything by now. He braces himself for a probing question. Instead, though, she simply shrugs.

“Nah, not really. Haven’t seen you around, and you’ve been knocking a lot of those back. It was pretty obvious something’s up.” Oh. Yeah, that’ll do it. “I will say, though, you can hold your liquor much better than our regulars. That’s a pretty big achievement.” She praises. Of course, Y/N has no idea that the reason Bucky doesn’t feel the effects of alcohol is because of the serum. The same one that was forced upon him all those years ago. He wishes he does feel the effects, though. That way, he could have something to block out everything he’s been through. All the pain, all the fear, all the bloodshed…he wouldn’t remember a thing. That would be perfect.

Instead, though, Bucky chuckles, forcing the same smile as he always does. The one he uses to mask all his pain and torment. “Well, thanks.” He lifts the bottle to his lips, drinking the last remnants of his beer. “You’re good at guessing, huh?”

“I know almost everything there is to know about people in here.” She replies, sliding over another beer, which Bucky graciously accepts. “It comes with the job. Either that, or I just make up an exciting story. It’s a good way to pass the time when the place is practically empty and I’m bored.” She admits, and they both laugh. “What’s your name then, stranger?”

“Bucky.”

“Nice to meet you, Bucky.” Y/N smiles. She holds her hand out over the bar, which Bucky shakes. “I’m Y/N. If you couldn’t already tell from the name tag, that is.” Bucky finds himself wondering what it would be like to know Y/N outside of work, to know what stories she has to tell, and the things she’s seen.

“She’s just being nice to you because she has to. It’s her job. Who says she’d want to go out with you?” A little voice in his head tells him. The same one who tells Bucky every day that he should’ve died on that train. Then he wouldn’t be so messed up now. Bucky takes another swig of his beer, hoping that somehow, this time, it works, and that those voices will go away.

If only things really worked like that.

“Oh I wanna see this. What about that man in the corner?” Bucky asks after scanning the room, trying desperately to change the subject and distract himself.

“Well, he’s only ordered a few drinks.” She furrows her brows, deep in thought. Bucky finds himself smiling once more. “I say he’s secretly a millionaire, trying to blend in and find some poor, lowly worker to surprise with his fortune. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking on my part.” Y/N laughs awkwardly. “Then I wouldn’t be stuck in this job.” She murmurs. The disappointment and heartbreak in her voice makes Bucky sigh. Sure, he’s only just met Y/N tonight, but she’s been one of the few to actually speak to him for more than a few minutes. It’s part of her job, but after so long of being tortured, having his mind wiped and being unwanted, having a conversation with someone who doesn’t know who he is is a nice change. Someone who treats him like a human being, rather than immediately thinking about what he did for so many years.

It means more to him than she’ll ever know. If he could, he’d give her anything she wants. “Anyway, how about you?”

“Hm?”

“What do you think his story is?”

“Oh! Um, I don’t know. I say he’s looking for something, hoping he’ll find it here. Maybe the love of his life.” Y/N smiles.

“Ahh, so you’re a romantic then?” Y/N winks, and Bucky nods. At least, he used to be. Now, though, after going through everything he has, Bucky has lost hope in his romantic conquests. People like him don’t deserve any love or companionship.

Y/N and Bucky spend the next few hours talking, making up stories about the others in the bar. Surprisingly, both of them are getting along pretty well, and have a lot more in common than expected. That is, however, until: “Can I guess what your story is?” Y/N asks. Bucky’s eyes widen. She cannot know about his past. Y/N studies him, biting her lip slightly as she looks over him. “I think you might be looking for something new, too. Maybe a connection.” She explains after a while. She grins, and Bucky feels his heart rate rising. “But I also think you’re a bit of an enigma, Bucky. For all I know, you could be a spy.” Oh, if only she knew.

“Can I try to guess what your story is?” Bucky asks. Y/N’s face falls, her smile gone. Immediately, Bucky feels guilty. “Shit, sorry. I didn’t mean any-”

“No, no. It’s fine, don’t worry about it.” Y/N shakes her head, waving her hands in dismissal. “Finding out about people is my job. You don’t have to worry about that.” She chuckles. Yet still, Bucky can tell there’s something there. Something she doesn’t want anyone to know about. And he’s just walked right in and brought all those bad feelings to the surface. His guilt increases. He’s ruined everything again, just like he always does. Maybe the voice was right. Maybe he doesn’t deserve a friend like Y/N after all.

Quickly, Bucky gets up, placing some bills on the bar. “Well, I better go. I think it’s time for me to go to bed.”

“Wait, you’re going? You don’t have to Bucky, it’s-“

“No, it's fine! Honestly, I’ve taken up enough of your time. Keep the change, alright?” Y/N tries to argue back, to stop him. But Bucky is already at the door to the bar before she can stop him. As his hand reaches out, touching the doorknob, for a moment Bucky stops. And he wonders whether he should stay. He almost turns back, back to Y/N and to his new beginning, his new chance for friendship. But then he remembers everything he’s done, and how he can’t drag Y/N into his messy, bloodstained life.

And so, Bucky opens the door and steps into the cold New York air.

So I find myself simping hard for Artem Wing this morning, and decide to nurse that ache by re-reading my favorite Tears of Themis card stories.

First up is Por Una Cabeza

When I first pulled this card, all I knew was that I was getting ARTEM WEARING A FANCY MASK.

But then I read the story and was confused.

Like, really confused.

Spoilers below the cut if you haven't read this card yet.

This post has two parts. Maybe three if I decide to include the video call? So look in my reblogs for the rest of this recap!

This card's story is set BEFORE they are in an established relationship, before any love confession takes place.

So ... both Rosa and Artem are having similar nightmares at the beginning, but the reader isn't aware they are reading a dream.

Now that I am reading it through again, I can more fully appreciate the other-worldliness of the "nightmare" and understand why everyone is acting strangely with bad memories, lol.

The bright red digital clock face glaring at Tosa in the fancy hotel lobby makes MUCH more sense more that I know it's her own bedside alarm clock she's incorporating into her dreamscape.

Also? ALSO?!? TODAY, the day I'm reading this right now is December 24th! What are the odds! I totally forgot this story takes place on Christmas Eve, because they call the event the New Year's Ball. Idk why... 🤷‍♀️

Anyways, back to recapping my favorite moments:

🥹 @ Artem second-guessing himself, worrying about you, wondering if you're okay, and if it's his fault

Awwwww, Artem!

His pouting face!

That's just like him to be concerned, and to jump to the conclusion that it might be his fault. He also wants to get to the bottom of any problem you have, so he can:

Discover the root cause of "Problem X"

Understand the reason for your distress

And plan for ways to fix/avoid it in the future so you never have to encounter/worry about "Problem X" ever again

Yes, this man is a 'fixer' but he does more than put a cosmetic bandage on things. He wants to make sure you never have to experience that same hurt a second time. He wants to learn from his own mistakes and others to prevent problems in the future. He wants to control the outcome by preparing for any eventuality.

The amount of energy and effort he puts into his "Rosa Long-Game" is mind-boggling.

Okay, I could go on forever about Artem's control issues, how amazing he is, and what makes him perfect husband-material.

So let's not get lost in the weeds out here. Back to the story!

There is this sublime moment where the two nightmares meld, as if the two of them are sharing the same dream!

And they meet FINALLY, after hours of panicked searching and confusion:

So they eventually wake up, and they decide to text the other to see if they're awake, and it turns into a phone call. No biggie. Just a phone call. At 2am. Between coworkers. Talking about their dreams. 😘 Nothing peculiar about that, right?

Everyone does that with their colleagues, don't they??

😏 Sure .... sure.

We find out Artem only knows one dance.

Which isn't exactly weird... many dudes don't know any dances.

What is odd is the one dance this shy boy knows:

The tango?

One of the most sensual and passionate dances ever?

Really?

Really.

The tango.

That's your go-to dance, Artem?

Okay.

Let's keep reading:

Ohhhhhh.

*BREATHES*

We get a glimpse into their month-long practices.

30 days of being caged in Artem's arms, spending every day after work in close proximity, working up a sweat.

Oof.

And then once you're confident in the steps, the fun part of the "act" both partners must put on to sell the push and pull of emotions.

The haughtiness, the indignation, the desire, the attraction, the softening and relenting at last, all of that passion needed to put on a good show!

Yup...

...Just what two normal work co-workers do on a daily basis.

TOTALLY NORMAL. 😏

*nods*

Yup.

"Suitable tango partner"

Uh-huh.

Artem. Artem! Stop lying to yourself!!

And then there's THIS:

LMAO @ Artem wishing for a weapon to fight off anyone else who might try to take her away from him.

"Everyone will know"

*sucks in breath*

Possessive!Artem is a really really hawt Artem.

Just sayin'

🥵🤤🥴❤️‍🔥🫠😍

AND they mention his adam's apple! Okay, this might not be a turn-on for other people. But it is to me.

I can point at obvious times in my life where I've decided that a certain action/attribute is attraction or sexy. But not the adam's apple. I have no explanation for why I find it mesmerizing!

But bless the writer who decided to mention that specific anatomy in this story! Shout out to you for adding to my swoon! 🫡

End of Part 1 - Check the reblogs for Part 2

birthday drabble 12 - jhs

@hobi-gif asked: 26 and hobi because i’m gonna try and make you write more oral and there aren’t ever enough hoseok fics please

alright. we've reached our final drabble of the day, and this one needs a little intro.

here's the thing. nothing personal to anyone who suggested this prompt specifically - i mean i AM the oral queen so i don't blame y'all 😇 and i chose this prompt list so really it's on me lmao - but i hate it. i hate it so much, i don't think it's hot *at all*, AND IT GOT REQUESTED SERIOUSLY LIKE 4 TIMES, YA FREAKS

so. i decided to uh..... take this in a slightly different direction. i think my brain was melting from writing so much porn and i figured this would be a good (read: insane) way to round out the smut party 😂 love you hope~ and i hope you can still enjoy this. and my sincerest apologies to jung hoseok, at least i made him good at oral okay!!!!

pairing: hoseok x reader contains: smut!! basically a crack fic with oral lmao. dirty talk (both abysmal and not), cunnilingus, fingering, a little teasing/begging, edging if you squint?, reader is kinda mean lol, i'm so sorry hobi summary: hoseok is so good at giving head, but so bad at talking dirty. it really makes things difficult.

want more? check out all my birthday drabbles here! requests for these are now closed 💜

Hoseok is so much better when he's not fucking talking. Once his head is between your legs, it's amazing. It's just enduring everything that comes before that can be kind of excruciating.

Because he is so fucking bad at talking dirty.

You’re still trying to figure out where he gets the shit he says from– either bad porn or terrible romance novels is your best guess. And it’s not like you suffer in silence. You take every opportunity to correct him, and he’s improved vastly from when you first started hooking up. You’ve finally convinced him to remove the word ‘boobies’ from his vocabulary, for instance.

But now the horrible ones sneak up on you when you least expect it, usually either leaving you disgusted enough that you momentarily shove him away, or laughing so hard you nearly knee him in the face.

When you realized how terrible he truly was at it, you did your best to convince Hoseok that it was fine. You don’t need dirty talk to get off. He could just touch you, taste you, fuck you, and it would be plenty. But that was before you knew him as well as you do now, and you weren’t aware of the strong perfectionist streak within him. Hoseok does not like being bad at something, and now that you’ve pointed out a flaw, he’s more determined than ever to do it right, to practice until it’s perfect.

At least his oral skills are worth suffering for. You really don’t understand how he’s good at the thing that is objectively much harder, yet so bad at just fucking talking.

Tonight, Hoseok’s got you stripped naked on his couch, and you spread your legs accommodatingly as he moves to kneel in front of you. “Wanna taste you,” he groans against your thigh, and you let out a breathy sigh. Good, that one was good.

“Wanna lick that kitty.” You squeeze your eyes shut and shake your head, and you hear Hoseok laugh a little.

“Fuck, I’m so bad at this. I really promise I’m trying.”

You open your eyes to look at him, and his cheeks are flushed pink with embarrassment. “Maybe you need to try less. The first one was fine. Just please don’t call it a kitty.”

“Pussy?”

“That’s fine.” His mouth is ghosting over you as you have this discussion, and it’s all you can do to keep yourself from grabbing the back of his head and shoving him down. You’d prefer to power rank the various terms for vagina when you’re not ridiculously aroused and dying for contact, but Hoseok has repeatedly asked that you correct him in the moment.

“Or I’ll never learn!” He always insists.

You deserve a medal for your service, you think to yourself, and then you gasp a little as his tongue brushes over you.

For a person who tends to prefer things neat and tidy, Hoseok is sloppy when it comes to giving head, in the best way possible. He loves to start off with long, slow licks, flat tongue dragging over you, so teasing that it’s nearly torture for how good it feels.

Pleasure coils tight in your belly as he works to pull soft noises out of you. Between his diligent mouth and your own wetness that’s been building up all night, you’re fucking soaked, and desperate for more.

He pulls away briefly with a smack of his lips. “Mmm, tastes good.”

You sigh a little but decide to allow that one. Being complimented on your flavor has never done anything for you personally, but you’re not gonna stop a man from talking positively about the taste of pussy. Feminism, or something.

“Keep going,” you whine softly, and he does, settling at your clit and moving more intentionally now. You can barely keep your own tongue in your mouth as you watch his flicker over you again and again. The strong muscle of his jaw works tirelessly, like he could do this all day, and you lean back on your forearms to enjoy the show.

When he slips two fingers into you, you exhale a heady moan of relief, spreading your legs wider to allow him access. He presses intently on your g-spot, rhythmically, enough that your hips start rolling in time.

“Feels so fucking good, Hoseok,” you offer in encouragement. You can feel your orgasm starting to build, and you whimper when his mouth momentarily leaves you.

“Tell me what you want, baby.”

He always fucking does this. As annoying as you find it, you kind of get it, that he wants to hear the things you’ll say so he can repeat them back to you, his own way of practicing. You’re sure he’s in need of the ego boost, too, so you’re willing to play along for a little bit.

“I want your mouth.” The words come out on a whine as his fingers start to pick up speed.

“Yeah?” He presses a teasing kiss right above your clit, and you’re keyed up enough that you hiss and flinch slightly. “Where, baby?”

You groan a little more, trying not to lose it. “On my fucking cunt.”

You don’t use the word often, and Hoseok raises an eyebrow in response, like you’ve said something naughty. “Ooh, is that right?”

“Yes, Hoseok.” He’s killing you. “Please.”

“What should I do with my mouth?”

“Make me come.” You can’t stress the words enough, hips lifting up unsubtly towards him as his fingers continue to work you.

“Uh-huh. How bad do you want it?”

That’s it. You can’t fucking do this. “Hoseok!” You cry, ending his game of twenty questions. “I don’t want to fucking talk anymore!”

“Oh, so impatient!” He chides with a grin, rubbing even harder against your front wall, enough that you throw your head back and make a frustrated noise. He drops his mouth close, so close, to where you need him, voice low as he continues. “Just for that, I’m gonna suck your clit ‘til you go blind.”

Your head snaps up at that one.

“Jung Hoseok!” You shout his name so loudly– and not out of pleasure– that he withdraws and leaps back from you, eyes wide in sheer terror. “What the fuck?!”

“W-was that one not good?”

“Why are you bringing visual impairments into your fucking dirty talk?!”

He sputters for a second. “I was trying to be creative.”

You have to bury your face in your hands as pleasure and disgust twist together in your stomach. This is practically turning into unintentional edging.

“Hobi,” you start, your voice slightly muffled. “Can you please just eat me out?” You level your gaze on him. “I’m either going to die or kill you if I don’t come right now. Please.”

"Okay, okay," he relents, laughing a little at the fact that you're clearly on the brink of insanity. "No more talking."

To your overwhelming relief, Hoseok crawls back towards you and does as he’s told, and weird ableism aside, he makes good on his promise. You instinctively reach out to claw at the couch cushions beneath you when he closes his lips around your clit and sucks hard, fingers returning to beckon inside you, now at an unrelenting pace.

It’s so fucking good– and you were so fucking close– that there’s no stopping you now. You wind your fingers through his hair, holding him firmly to your core, and your thighs start to shake as your orgasm finally crests.

“Yes, oh fuck, just like that–” you gasp, and then you lose your grip on your ability to speak; you can only cry out as relief washes over you.

Your walls flutter around Hoseok’s fingers, and he hums against you gently as he continues to move his tongue, drawing out the waves of your climax for as long as he possibly can.

When the motions go from pleasurable to overwhelming, you release your grip on his hair and he backs off, moving up to sit next to you on the couch.

“I love making you come,” he says sheepishly as he wipes his face with the back of his hand. It's enough to make you feel a little bad about being so mean. He really is trying.

“Want you to fuck me, Hoseok,” you breathe, your head buzzing with the rush of post-orgasm chemicals. You’re smiling, still blissed-out, as you hook your thumbs into his belt loops to tug him closer to you.

“Yeah, baby?” He purrs. “Then why don’t you bend over and let me give you this penis?”

You laugh so hard you fall off the couch.

3 and 37 for ask game if you please :)

(rubs hands together gleefully) you asked about movies. this is my moment. Hold on to your hats, it’s Tentacledwizard Rant Hour.

3 films I could watch for the rest of my life and not get bored of:

FACE/OFF, dir. John Woo. 1997, rated R for faces being taken off, killing and murder, John Travolta licking his fake daughter’s face, pretty much everything you can think of that’s R-rated. Starring Nicolas Cage and John Travolta.

So, I was told I shouldn’t watch this movie because it was “boring” and “terrible.” ok, dad. sure. It proved to be neither! As soon as I finished it I wanted to rewatch it just to observe the nuances in Nick Cage’s acting. And John Travolta’s, but Cage is who I’m really here for. He plays this unhinged, flamboyant villain, then does a complete 180 (body swap, sorta) and plays a straight-laced FBI man PREVIOUSLY played by John Travolta (who, you guessed it, now plays the flamboyant villain).

The acting. The ACTING augh I could analyze it for hours. I’m not even good at analyzing facial expressions and stuff (it is the tism) but the acting skill in this movie made me even more of a Nicolas Cage fan. The sheer range of emotions that wash over his face during a fight scene in a prison. god DAAAAMN. He plays two men in one movie- one who’s just batshit insane and reveling in it, and another who feels like he’s become the former in more ways than just physical.

FBI Man finds himself melting into this persona he’s playing, and he feels perversely drawn towards the villain’s lifestyle. He’s wearing the face of the guy who killed his child, and he’s starting to enjoy it. Meanwhile John Travolta walks around wearing the face and mannerisms of a straight-laced FBI man, and his ascent to power is scary to watch. It’s (rolls around on floor screaming) it’s so good. I haven’t seen A LOT of movies so if you asked me this question in a couple months, my answers here would probably change. However, Face/Off is not moving off this list.

There’s even a funky little evil man who stole scenes from Cage himself. He plays the villain’s brother, Pollux (name sounds like Sollux, and he points out the inherent eroticism of salmon in documentaries). Something about his line delivery has made me deeply obsessed with him. He and his brother are messed up and evil but they care about each other almost codependently. It’s fascinating to me. Also for some reason the scene where Nick Cage talks about his first date with his wife makes me cry. One second I’m thinking about the scientific inaccuracies inherent in the movie’s plot, and the next I’m looking at Cage’s sad face through a layer of saline. Curse you, sentimentality.

So, yeah, Face/Off is incredibly good. Certainly not perfect, but super fun. Also this is the 90s and all the stunts are entirely practical, which is super sick. The two golden guns are iconic and almost certainly inspired Jake English’s strife specibus, lmao. And… Nick Cage! Yeah I think that’s enough Face/Off thoughts I can put here before this becomes an entire longpost. (checks Face/Off google results) HOLD ON NOW there’s going to be a Face/Off 2? Or is this just a rumor? Woah. I will have to google this.

National Treasure, dir. John Turteltaub. 2004. Rated PG-13 for guns and a mildly suggestive scene because of course they had to put a blonde lady in a mildly suggestive scene, and British people. Stars Nicolas Cage, Justin Bartha, and Diane Kruger.

Yeah ok at this point this is like my default movie. Should I be ashamed for enjoying this? Nuh uh. Life is too short to be ashamed for enjoying a silly action movie. Im killing cringe culture with two golden guns. In other news I have seen this movie eight times, and talked about it to anyone who’d listen. Here is a full review of it that I wrote. When I missed out on a trip to Washington DC, I watched this to really immerse myself in the setting. When my mom and I wanted to watch a film, I put this on and she said “phallus” every time the Washington Monument was onscreen because she’s fun like that. When my best friend whom I love dearly came over, the first thing I did was put on National Treasure. It’s kept me grounded and also gives me a good chuckle at some of the goofier scenes. This movie is a…

It’s a…

The joke is low-hanging fruit, but yeah, it’s a national treasure. This is admittedly Cage at his most mainstream. He’s an action movie hero guy, but in a PG-13 movie made by Disney. When asked about a possible National Treasure 3 in interviews, Cage seems kinda annoyed. I mean hey, I would be too. His acting in this film doesn’t seem like something he’s personally interested in, although he does a good job. However, I think his character’s parallels with Nick Cage’s real life are pretty interesting, especially because the director knew Cage since highschool. More on that later.

Where Face/Off’s selling point was “Nick Cage and John Travolta swap faces,” this one’s is “Nicolas Cage steals the Declaration of Independence.” And then a bunch of other stuff happens, but that one sequence is the best in the entire movie. The parallels and differences between two teams’ methods of stealing the Declaration really got to me. After that, there’s a bunch of adventuring… making leaps in logic… puzzles… what’s not to love! :D I will say that the main character is somewhat casually misogynistic in this film, which makes me grimace every time. He does learn his lesson in the second movie (though he remains pretty static, which frustrates me because there was an OBVIOUS CHANCE for character growth there… hmm maybe I will review nat treasure 2 sometime).

Something I forgot to mention in my full review is that Jon Voight and Harvey Keitel are in this movie, which is quite the slay. However, this means that I ended up thinking of Jon Voight as a Good Guy the next movie I saw him in (Mission Impossible). Uh. so apparently Jon Voight plays a lot of villains. As for Harvey Keitel, he plays an FBI Man. (looks at “Harvey Keitel movies” page) OH SHIT he’s in THAT MANY iconic movies?? That’s awesome. He’s a cool guy!

Ok, let me talk about Jon Turteltaub. So Nick Cage and Jon Turteltaub went to the same high school, and they both wanted the lead role in Our Town. (Trust me on this, I’ve read like three Nicolas Cage biographies.) Turteltaub got the lead role, whereas Cage got the role of Constable Warren. According to this interview, Turteltaub never let him live it down. Ouch. So after that, Cage couldn’t stand Our Town. and then after THAT, Jon Turteltaub went on to direct the National Treasure movies. Guess who stars in National Treasure! Yeah, that’s an anecdote that is just really funny to me. They also collaborated on Sorcerer's Apprentice, which I have yet to see. Nick Cage plays a sorcerer, hells yeah. Now according to Turteltaub, “there’s a lot more Nic in [the sorcerer] than in [the main character of National Treasure].” Yup, that’s pretty much what I thought. (shakes head) Nick Cage movies, amirite? If you really want a lot more National Treasure thoughts, check out my review! Yeah ok that’s enough shilling for myself, ha ha. This is a cool movie and you can watch it whenever, with whoever. Probably. P.S. everyone is at their most autistic swag in this movie. But especially Riley Poole, played by Justin Bartha. I adore him.

3. Anger Management dir. Peter Segal. 2003. Somehow rated PG-13 despite the constant sex jokes. Starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson.

Ha ha, PSYCHE. i absolutely hate this movie

3. Employee of the Month dir. Greg Coolidge. 2006. Rated PG-13 for retail working and reference to Vince Downey [Dax Shepard] seducing women in various places around a Costco. Stars Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson, and Dax Shepard.

I really like this movie. What more can I say? It’s a low-budget rom-com from 2006, and the director did not need to go that hard with the gay subtext. But he did! And I am forever grateful. (checks time) it’s getting kind of late, so let me direct you to my super hype review that I wrote a while ago. The reason I wouldn’t get bored of watching this movie is the sometimes batshit, beautiful turns the plot takes. Bam, this rom-com is now randomly a sports movie for a few minutes. Now Vince and his sidekick Jorge are breaking into the main character’s house to make him late for work. I don’t really know how to explain, I just love that kind of thing in a movie. It’s unpredictable and fun in kind of a stupid way.

Also, Jorge and Vince are the emotional core of the movie. Their relationship is messy, but it’s even more sweet and heartfelt than the actual main romance of the story. It’s the romantic B-plot. If Employee of the Month were an Alternian movie, Karkat would go into a huge rant about its portrayal of moirallegiance through Vinzce and… Jorgay (lmao). Pretty similar to what I did in my previous review. If you realllyyyy wanna read a scene-by-scene breakdown of their relationship, check that one out! Actually that one is just me having emotions about them. “OMG THEY HUGGED.” u kno. that sort of thing lmao. @creatcher made some fanart of them kissing yey :D

So, yes, Vince and Jorge are amazing, and Jorge is especially amazing. Can’t wait to see Napoleon Dynamite (his actor plays Pedro in that one). There’s a lot to be said about the character Efren Ramirez plays here, but I doubt I have the expertise to really do a critical analysis. also this is still a low-budget romcom about retail workers. OH yeah also the plot is really funny- the romance turns out to have very little by way of stakes, so it’s actually Zack (played by Dane Cook) competing against Vince for employee of the month. That’s the core conflict of the movie. Well, one of them. They’re literally jousting in a costco like “two gay old sailors” (Vince’s words, not mine). This movie portrayed homestuck quadrants before they were even a thing (refer to a shipping chart @cgtg and i did for more clarity). Employee of the Month is unexpectedly great. Obviously none of the movies on my list are perfect- this one includes some racism/ableism from Vince, and I already mentioned the National Treasure misogyny- but they have a lot of redeeming qualities. And i mean a LOT. they also all have a short guy for me to be obsessed with. So that’s the three movies I picked, and why I’ll never get bored of them. Hmm. I guess it depends on how many times I watch them!

Share a secret:

Hmmmm ok this is a tough one. uuuh… ok here goes: My darkest secret is that my crush looks exactly like John Egbert. There’s a real person in real life who looks like John Egbert. One cannot fathom the amount of horror this entails. They even have the same taste in movies. The same SHOES. That’s your secret for the day, tune in for more at 10!

Yep, I wrote a lot of stuff for this ask. It was fun, though. I enjoy ranting about movies. Thanks for the qs!

Tala and Bryan were done so its Spencer’s time now! I like never draw spencer just because I cant get him to look how I want 😅 I need a lot more practice drawing big guys... so sorry post g-rev spencer looks like hes made of pudding (º □ º l|l) I think I like the g-rev outfit the best this time, mainly becasue I SUCK at drawing the raising one and the 2000 one is just ...strange XD But please remember that just $5 a month can help us on our quest to find Spencer a jacket that comes down further than his belly button 😔🙏please support our cause

Headcanons under cut!

Bey 2000 ▪ 17 ▪TALL has always been taller than everyone his age ▪doesn’t talk much, looks intimidating but is actually a bit shy ▪kindhearted and manages to stay that way despite the abbey's influence. ▪ despite being on the team for a while, he's still scared of Tala despite being a foot taller than him ▪His weird double belt makes me think of one of those weightlifting belts tbh. he had pockets under his weird hip armor(?) keeps snacks there

G-rev ▪19 ▪gets a bit taller and also bigger 💪 ▪The rest of the guys kinda latch onto him after the abbey closes because he is the least mentally traumatized one. also cuz he is ‘the adult™’ ▪ Finds out he's pretty domestic and enjoys normal domestic activities like cooking. Turns out he is also a stress cleaner ▪ Turns into the big brother type for the other guys as they start healing and does his best to help out ....He leaves Tala to Bryan tho lmao 😅 ▪neglects his own mental health in favour of helping support the other three as he sees himself as fine compared to them. He’s not 🥲 ▪ The under-jacket Beyblade holster is actually canon btw!

Post G-rev ▪Spends less time blading but still loves the sport ▪still spends a lot of time working out but mainly weightlifting now💪 does it more because he likes it rather then he feels the need to. ▪ His body type is much more strongman-like (thick arms chest and round tummy) and a bit doughy. He's super strong but nice and soft 🥺💕! perfect for hugs ▪Eats a looottt because he works out but also just loves food and eating and trying out new things to cook. turns into a bit of a foodie, prefers to make everything from scratch. ▪full dad mode. He is the proud father of his three friends ▪With his friends doing better mentally he (slowly) starts to unpack his own trauma with their support. ▪The only member of neoborg to wear pants around his hips and not his waist lmao

you might be like huh you only did 1 set for the other why does spencer get 3? well that's because getting good references for him is really hard so I’m just going to use this instead lol. also I’m sorry but I hate drawing his ear warmer headband thing 6 _ 6; I guess he gets cold ears. it honestly reminds me of those headphone sports earmuffs that you get so I’m just gonna assume they have headphones in lol.

#beyblade headcanons #Spencer Rybakov #sergei rybakov #Spencer Petrov #Sergei Petrov #bakuten shoot beyblade #beyblade #sketch #doodle #kai will probably come next #I wanna do ian/ivan too but I go WAY off canon when it comes to him lmao #IT'S MY HEADCANON AND I SAY HE HAS BIG HONKERS AND A FAT DUMPY

Needlessly Pedantic Answers to Worldbuilding Questions that Don't Matter That Much to Begin With, Episode #1:

why is everyone in your fictional world an animal? what do they eat? are there any non-sapient animals? is it more of a "Zootopia or Beastars" type situation? how does anatomy change across certain species?

so as nobody may know, i write about a lot of fictional worlds and one of them is your standard diverse furry society. while these are quite fun to mess around with, they tend to bring up a lot of questions (that technically don't matter too much, i mean you're just telling a fictional story for god's sake) about how the world works. and there's especially a lot of questions raised in my case because my world doesn't just feature mammals, but also reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish, and so on, so you wonder how differently they live, if at all. i'm gonna be evil and answer all of those questions that exactly -2 people have asked today!

1: why is everyone an animal?

of course, the real reason is because it's fun to explore stories and create characters that aren't human, and it's especially a fun opportunity to experiment with character design! but for a more in-universe reason, the gods like to take inspiration from each other and will tend to build off of each other's ideas. this world was made by the wandering god Belet, who became inspired after visiting several worlds of other gods. they were curious about creating a world where multiple sapient species exist, since it was a common trend in other worlds for only one dominant species existing at a time.

2. what do they eat?

naturally, all species are vegetarian, although some areas of the world have gotten to the point of inventing artificial foods adjacent to plant-based meat. the idea of cannibalism or killing other people to eat hasn't really been explored due to being kinda... dubious. but i guess it's up in the air. although it may sound weird, the practice of selling one's own dairy products and other non-meat animal products is quite normalized. it's basically just seen as the same level of normal as selling any other food items you make.

3. are there any non-sapient animals?

so far? nope. but that might get retconned in the future, i dunno. i haven't published enough about this world so i'm still able to reconsider if i wanted to. but as of right now, basically every single organism from the animalia kingdom is anthropomorphized, with a few exceptions. (exceptions usually being organisms i have no clue how to anthropomorphize lmao)

4. is it more of a "zootopia or beastars" type situation?

to expand on this question, it's basically asking for more information on how society functions and how fucked it is, if at all. initially i said it was going to be a utopia of sorts- i retconned that, lol, because it seems like i can't ever write about a truly happy world. it's definitely one of my better worlds to live in, but it's by no means perfect. i wouldn't say it's Beastars levels of messed up (black markets selling dubious meat and carnal instincts telling you to eat your friends) but it's probably not as cutesy as, say, Zootopia is on the surface level, although i do like how it tackled systemic racism and whatnot. i guess it's somewhere in between. there isn't anything going on that's straight out of a psychological horror movie but there's definitely inequality and tension everywhere.

5. how does anatomy change across certain species?

outside of the very obvious base change of every animal becoming anthropomorphic and thus more human-like, there's a couple other changes, such as necessary internal anatomy shifting around so all creatures can live on land properly, plus the ability to be able to speak the same languages, stuff like that. arthropods are a bit trickier (like oh my god so much would have to change) but i usually just explain that they're built different and call it a day. for my sanity. cold blooded animals are able to somewhat thermoregulate on their own, but will still largely rely on their surroundings. if you're cold, they're cold. wrap your lizard girls in blankets. also, all animals are similarly sized, but some tend to be slightly larger/smaller on average depending on the species. like, an old elephant man is gonna be MUCH taller than a moth lady lol.

oh, and an extremely unnecessary addition that i only expanded on because of the fact that i had to face the logical issue of giving my reptile characters boobs: non-mammalian animals will still tend to have visible "breasts" due to having the general silhouette of a human, but they don't produce milk or function at all outside of looks. some non-mammalians prefer to get their "breast" tissue surgically removed due to the fact that it serves basically no purpose for them.

that's about where the biological similarities end, though. when it comes to reproduction, biological compatibility largely follows the same odds as it would in the real world, so you sadly won't see many wolf/komodo dragon hybrids hanging out. this also tends to be a source of interspecies-relationship discrimination, and not to mention eugenics...

some miscellaneous tidbits:

-in terms of technology and resources, i'd say this world is about as advanced, if not a little more than our own. it's no sci-fi paradise but there are some significant advancements made that definitely outdo us, such as the research and technology poured into environment conservation and space exploration (the latter of which may or may not be one of the main topics of a story i'm working on... :3)

-trans healthcare is also reasonably advanced, although that doesn't imply there's less transphobia.

-yes, there's probably some unique version of veganism in this world, but instead of not eating animals it'd be like... fungi. or certain types of plants. or maybe even animal products anyways, despite the fact that they're normalized, for one reason or another.

-ohhhh clothes work so differently depending on what kind of animal you are. but i cannot get into that here. not without going insane. just know that i have been thinking about it a lot. there are entire different kinds of clothing for certain body types, just not the definition of body type you'd initially think of. there's specific clothing for the winged. the tailed and the non-tailed. the quilled. the feathered. the slimed. its insane

#sas spiels #sas stories #cant tell which one fits more here so im using both fuck you #belet's dream #worldbuilding #my writing #original writing #original world #furry #writing stuff #fantasy worldbuilding #i recounted everything from beastars off of very old memory do not attack me if i got something wrong

@duck-n-clover - [from the replies of this post] more about Rane being born in avengers tower you say???????

GIGGLES WEEEEELLLL IF YOU INSISTTTTTT .,,, it’s time to MAKE LOKI REALLY MAD BY TELLING THIS STORY-

cw for uh. lol. childbirth????

So Lemme just say. despite my modern day constant humiliating insistence of pretending the mcu is not a thing that exists, even despite still clutching EeL desperately in my claws for over a decade - it is I guess time to admit that the mcu is… in fact, and of course, partially canon to the Elysium’verse.., BUT only up to the events of 2012 (you know). In that peak post avengers haze of “everyone is friends and family and living together in the tower” bliss world. THATS where Elysium exists lmao. ALSO IMPORTANT THOR IS BACK ON ASGARD AND DOES NOT LIVE WITH THEM

NOWADAYS this is not relevant in ANY way other than Loki’s continued presence here and - lmao honestly I forget all the time that technically he’s. well.

but it’s OBVIOUSLY ughhhhhh not a secret that I was deeply into ~things~ back then and for quite some time after, so yes the avengers exist in here obviously and yes they had aaaaall interacted tangentially with aaaaall your fave Elysium characters, although - at least as far as fenixe and I together were concerned - primarily just as cameo characters. A point of contact and team of allies in the mortal world, interacting usually through Tory and Epi (Prince of the Underworld, and his Advisor).

That’s all a Liiiiittle bit more context for what I’m about to explain so NOW allow me to go on a huge tangent to loop around to finally explaining wtf I’m talking about 😌 under the cut for mercy

When deities have babies, pregnancy side effects beyond the usual list varies a little bit more than in mortals, and more specifically to gods. As a godling develops in utero, along with developing physically they have an entire realm of magical powers and abilities developing steadily as well!! this sudden growth of baby powers can very often interfere with the existing magic abilities of the deity carrying the baby, at varying degrees of intensity depending on a number of factors, or even just exactly how powerful that baby will be. Best and most often case scenario— a malfunctioning of basic god abilities like teleporting. Worst case scenario - losing powers completely, those basic ones or even ALL powers like for example when Maci had been pregnant with Neo and she’d completely lost everything even her pyrokinesis, let alone the Neo specific side effects(that’s a story for another post)— or when Epi was pregnant with Ty and Bel and he completely lost the ability to shapeshift. Etc, etc.

Now, Loki’s magic isn’t inherent to being a god like in the Greek pantheon - as a different breed of god, Loki’s powers stem from HIS own specific innate ability (called seidr in Asgard, found in many but mostly actually accessed and practiced by goddesses which. is a whole other fucked up thing loki had to deal with, fucking sorcery gender roles, whatever 🙄 well good thing Loki’s a woman too when he feels like it!!! Representation win! this Norse chaos god IS nonbinary!!)

ANYWAY his powers come from his own ability that he had THEN honed and trained and practiced for hundreds of years to perfect. Rane was Loki’s eighth pregnancy, and though the previous seven times had found Loki’s abilities indeed slightly dampened — making him indeed slightly more vulnerable — Loki had always had an iron grip control of his own seidr enough to prevent any of his burgeoning children from affecting him TOO dramatically through the durations of those pregnancies. Howeverrrrrrrr by the time Loki was pregnant with Rane, Loki’s inherent magic was actually… different. Enhanced. Extremely enhanced.

If you’ll recall, a few years prior, he had absorbed all of the magic of the Underworld, and though that had significantly boosted his own abilities, it also proved a new and exciting challenge to learn and wrangle! A type of magic inherently MORE unruly! ……..so………

those two things in mind — the effects of a growing godling + a much more naturally chaotic magic source in Loki — resulted in a pregnancy in which ALL of Loki’s magic abilities went COMPLETELY haywire.

beyond being a source of all sorts of comedic accidental hijinks - things that naturally occur when you have an overpowered very pregnant chaos god with suddenly no ability to fully control the magic at his fingertips - Loki’s abilities to do very basic things such as shapeshifting or teleporting became much more unreliable, the powers coming and going in surges. This is important background info!

Are we following me still okay good. nowwww The second important variable has to do with the relationships Loki was involved with at the time as well. So Through the course of his pregnancy with Rane, remember the latter stages of it found Tory pregnant with Eisa and Einmyria along with that chaos (when Tory briefly left the palace he’d actually camped out in the avengers tower cause he figured Loki would not - and currently, COULD not - get over there!). But the early stages of it also found Loki’s relationship-friendship with Flower Nymph (Rane’s other parent, currently being retconned and redone) turned upside down again.

They’d just broken up and agreed cautiously and tersely to just be friends when Loki realized he was pregnant with her child and, though Flower Nymph was not the type of person to start a vicious fight, she WAS deeply upset enough by Loki pulling away from her even with baby for them to start gently bickering again - Loki didn’t want anyone near him while he was pregnant not even her, she did NOT like that, He fully disappeared on her after specifically promising not to do that, yknow, like an asshole- I know he’s traumatized but it IS so hard to defend him sometimes fgkfkfk - before sheepishly returning, him then trying to pull away again ANYWAY. It all revolves around Loki being , yes traumatized but BEYOND THAT, being generally emotionally stunted and completely unwilling or unable to let her inside the many walls he’d built up, this was why they broke up in the first place!! but now even worse with the baby. (Everyone told him he was being a dick to her, it’s worth mentioning…… he WAS??????? honestly SHE broke up with him all of the times but it was ALL his fault every time fgkfk gOD—)

Eventually - once the drama with Eisa and Einmyria died down and everything was stable enough again - that Flower Nymph decided that she’d had enough of Loki. it was just!! enough!! she deserved better!!! Loki clearly didn’t want anything to do with her no matter how hard she’d tried for their sake and his sake and the sake of unborn baby Rane but finally his behavior was too much and so she ran away. Where else to go to avoid seeing Loki again than of course to……. that one place he wouldn’t and COULDNT go……

When she sought sanctuary in the avengers tower, they let her stay and gave Tory a courtesy call to notify him that she was someplace safe, in case anyone had been looking. Of course once she was gone was the second Loki whined about getting her back 🙄 and HE’D been looking for her. Tory spoke to her and she - ughghhh despite herself still with such affection for him jesus christ - asked him to just let Loki know where she was and that she was safe. Tory let Loki know, and then told him in no uncertain terms to leave her and the avengers the fuck alone - Loki was INSULTED AND FURIOUS that she would gO STAY AT THE HOME OF HIS MORTAL ENEMIES OF ALL PEOPLE!??? And sulked about it for QUITE some time, though he stayed away for her sake. Vali and Nari visited her a few times though (they’d always been close with her🥹)

Aaaaand then days later Loki’s water broke.

Naturally Loki.,, Disobeying everyone’s direct orders,,,., just immediately gathered up his strength to teleport straight into the middle of the avengers tower to collect Her and tell her that their baby was coming 🤪 cool thanks! The avengers dIDNT ENJOY THIS LOL!?? But SHE was overjoyed that he had returned!

Only one problem though!

Loki’s haywire magic and all of that noxious Underworld essence flowing through his veins and the baby he was now about to give birth to proved to be an AWFUL combo and all at once Loki- became extremely physically ill (vomiting mystery underworld goo gross); COMPLETELY lost the ability to teleport back or— ANYWHERE; and hELLO WAS ALSO!!? going into labor????? Flower nymphs dont teleport either!!!

Tory was called to come collect his pet chaos entity except, new problem - Tory was ALSO pregnant and HIS malfunctioning pregnancy magic could not teleport him AND Loki both back.

…so they called Epi (“…Damn it how do these situations ALWAYS involve him”) except Epi!! just generally like most gods!!! was not strong enough magically to teleport him AND Loki AND Rane AND Tory AND the twins AND Giselle all back to the palace at once and okay you know what we no longer have time to fight about this bc tHERES??? A BABY COMING??????

oh my god, the argument that ensued from an EXTREMELY IRATE INDIGNANT LOKI???? even while Loki was in active labor. and throwing up. to summarize ; along the lines of “ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT” until finally the avengers (at this point primarily just Steve and Tony actually fgkfkf) went into uhh. Crisis business mode and explained tersely Okay well clearly you don’t have much of a choice, you’re either going to have the baby in the middle of our living room or you can move to the bed over there. Finally in increasing desperation Loki agreed - agreed aka being physically dragged to the other room fighting and whining the entire time fgkfkff - so long as all of THEM would go the fuck away somewhere else. okay fine deal whatever! EXCEPT

….next problem was of course due to HAYWIRE MAGIC Loki’s usual ability to give birth in any and every shape was also.,, NOW SUDDENLY malfunctioning. the palace had delivered a good handful of babies by then but no one had ever given anyone an entire c-section 🙃

to Loki’s utter abject misery and FURIOUS MORTIFICATION, Epi and Tory dragged the team back in to just jackass together — well Bruce is a fucking doctor at least kindave — oh my gods you cANNOT BE SERIOUS—

and so, in one of the single most humiliating moments of Loki’s life, Rane was delivered via emergency c-section in the avengers tower by Dr. Banner himself.

this is a fun and cool way to interact with your archnemesises.

Loki has stayed away from all of them forever and ever and ever after, lmfao.

I’ll end this thread of utter ridiculous insanity with the following canon convo snippet quote lmao,

Loki: “So am I to be penalized for going and fetching Giselle of my own accord?”

Tory: “No, you already got your punishment. […] The guy who smashed you into concrete gave you a c-section.”

Loki: ….the heaviest of sighs

thank you for giving me the slightest opportunity to spit out another whole essay! THERES SO MUCH CHAOS IN HERE BUT THE END

bats my eyelashes. part of me to this day wants to completely divorce ALL remnants of the mcu from Elysium but then part of me…. Remembers this happening and it’s still one of the funniest things that’s ever happened ever and so we can never change it fgkfkflflskdmgkf gOD -

#LONG POST //#pregnancy /#childbirth /#ASK TO TAG LMAO OOOS #replies #oc talk #eloki

something clicked and i've been playing a lot better all of a sudden (climbing those ranks baybee), so it's a good time to rant and gush about what i love about JP in-game:

First, I'm just really having fun with the game lmao. I'm someone who'd force myself to learn the playstyle of the character I personally like, so it's quite fortunate that I do enjoy his zoning, and at times set play gameplan.

Obviously his design/ personality/ aesthetics are what got me into maining him in the first place, so that's not too surprising. This includes how his specials and animations parallel his characterization so well, such as him hiding his hand behind his back, or consistently using Psycho Powered moves with said hand, etc etc.

Specifically, I absolutely love the smaller details in how he holds his cane when he twirls it. His hands n all are animated so satisfyingly (the recovery frames on a lot of his moves showcase this well).

I believe the whole game is mo-capped, so I owe my life to everyone who made his beautiful kicking animations possible. 6HK where he balances on his cane for the donkey kick, absolutely amazing, leg so hot. And it's a godlike button I swear. Can antiair, cancels into specials, hits twice so it can break armor against some moves/ reacting with DI is a lot easier, and I think off DR it's a really good meaty too. Probably my favorite normal he has in general.

Idk why he has such a hurtbox on the 2nd part of this move where his crotch is. What are they implying with that. Hm.

Oh and shoutouts to 6MK as well, the overhead. It's such an elegant axe kick, and the arc it goes in is really satisfying. Also to j.LK. It's a cute looking kick and a fast overhead/ crossups. Look at him go.

Also also: 5HK. I don't need to explain.

Soeaking of very satisfying: his parry animations. I think the universal sfx they use for parry fits him real well, since he's using the cane to deflect and it would reasonably make such a sound. Looks particularly sick when parrying multi hit moves.

Specials wise, it's all the small motions he does and how he carries himself. Like the way he stands/ shifts his weight for the attacks are done soooo well. The way he spins for Stribog. The little foot tilt when sending out cmd grab ghost. Again all the hand animation, like the snapping on manually detonating Departure. How he waves away the remaining Psycho Power when Amnesia doesn't counter anything. The difference between gripping his hand to feint ghosts, versus sending them out with a flourish. I know this is almost his entire moveset but hey what can I say, they're all really great.

ONE THING tho, is that I kinda don't like his back throw animation. I get it's supposed to be based on bartitsu/ using the opponent's own weight against the cane to throw them, so I can appreciate the attentiom to realistic detail. But in practice, it's rather slow and looks like a huge fuss compared to how some other throws look.

This is made all the more noticeable when you consider his air throw, which is instant dopamine. Made all the better when you throw someone out of specials, or as a hard read. The way he slams them into the floor with a scoff is mwuah, perfect.

I love the frame they have on Supercombo lmao

Gameplay wise too, he really reflects so much of himself. Mentioned before but the hilarious intentionally unintentional teabagging from his 22 inputs, or how he's so often hated by fans for how he plays. Incites controversy indeed.

What inspired this whole rant is actually how insanely evil you feel for locking down the opponent full screen with projectiles. One aspect of it is against defensive or hesitant players, who'll let you get away with spamming full screen.

But the other, much cooler scenario, is shutting down every weasely attempt to close the distance. They can jump, shimmy, Drive Rush, or use specials to try and get in, but guessing right and countering everything is fun times. Sending them back to the other side of the screen despite all their efforts, and you can taste the salt through the screen.

It's also how he forces them to play JP's mini game, even outzoning characters like Guile and Dhalsim. Match up wise tho? Most pathetic moment is Honda ex headbutt ignoring every projectile. Very sad times, and I'm offended I need to defensively parry.

Silliest MU is the mirror for sure. I hate it. I love it. JP is weirdly vulnerable to his own gameplan, since Amnesia can't counter projectiles, and his DR is way slow. Spikes/ ghosts become a "who can parry and do ex spikes first" projectile wars. And you cannot distinguish between whose Departure portals are whose (they're angled a bit differently but in a match that's impossible to reasonably identify). You're both trying to out gimmick the other to get the edge which can get very scrambly or super one sided. Either way, a JP is winning no matter what, and please do remember to feed Cybele if you lose.

I was about to close out but I just remembered Drive Reversal!!! No wonder I forgot cause I keep forgetting about it in game too;; But if only for the animation I should press it more often. Love that they put in a golf swing motion for the cane wielder, and he's got form. And I have to thank them for deciding to give us the back view.

#sf6 jp #jp rambles #i love studying gameplay of him cause i like looking at the animations frame by frame #looking forward to spamming screenshots of every frame ever once we get more costumes

I've seen a lot of members in the snzblr-sphere openly condemning gAI and its use. I guess, I wonder how that makes you feel since you use it quite frequently here

Well, this is a sneeze fetish blog but since you asked… here’s a sermonette on AI, lmao:

I work irl in an industry and in roles that have I think fairly significant risk of being displaced by AI in the next 5-10 years, so I have some empathy and understanding particularly for visual artists who feel that all generative AI is parasitical not only on work they and their friends may have done in the past, but in particular harmful to their ability to be paid for their work presently and into the future. And in fact for the purposes of visual art I rarely/never use generative AI anymore, not so much because I found it unethical, but just because it isn’t very good at drawing what I want to see. But like idk if people want me to delete the generative AI images I’ve posted in the past, I would, sure.

I feel quite a bit differently about generative AI text, and that’s probably just cause like… listen, I can’t draw for shit so on some level I don’t really feel qualified to understand how visual artists feel about generative AI, so I think in that sense it’s maybe easier/healthier to defer to practicing artists who feel strongly and otherwise mind my business. But I am a writer, both in the context of this fetish community and irl (technically getting paid—albeit a very small amount—to write for a bit starting at the end of this month, actually!) And for me generative AI is a really effective tool for combating the anxiety of the blank page and virtually nothing else. Like it’s not… good… at writing? And because I’ve used it so much I currently don’t have any fear of it becoming good enough at writing to replace professional writers? (Also at a deep level, I do believe that novel ideas and perspectives exist and the core social utility of writing is to provide those new ideas and perspectives, which I just don’t think generative AI is capable of doing, at least not any time soon). But on some level that makes it perfect for churning out endless variations on simple sneeze fetish themes that land in our silly fetish horny hitboxes. So because it is not capable, in my opinion, of replacing professional writers even for basic corporate marketing type shit, I see it more as a tool for writers to use as we see fit? And I have zero problem using the tool to recreate slight variations on the theme of “big sneeze blows things away” to satisfy fetish cravings and frankly I think y’all should use it in the same way lmao. And also use it to help you write actual stories! It works well as essentially an outlining tool. I wouldn’t even use it to generate dialogue or language because again I think it is very bad at that, but it is good at like… providing options for how a story could flow from point a to point b. And sometimes just revising something is easier than starting from scratch, you know?

AND THEN more broadly, I don’t think that generative AI is inherently harmful, I think we (as Americans/westerners/consumers in capitalists societies, not as sneeze fetishists lmao) have a social structure that makes it potentially harmful. The issue with generative AI taking your job isn’t that it’s going to replace your true original artistic expression, your brilliant webcomic, your sprawling fantasy universe, your masterpiece painting. The issue is that it’s going to take your bullshit graphic artist job for a marketing firm, or even your job as a storyboard artist, etc. AND maybe it SHOULD take those jobs! If gAI can speed up the intermediate stages of artistic production like storyboarding, then great storyboard artists can simply work on more films, enhancing the quality of those films, by using AI to speed up their work. And for the marketing gig, if that work that frankly does more to sap creative energy and funnel it towards greasing the bullshit wheels of capital could be done by generative AI, that would be GREAT for artists, *if* the value created were shared equitably across society. If there were an “AI dividend” that took 50% of the savings created by generative AI and invested it in grants and free classes and free drawing tablets and free housing and funds for creatives to do creative work, then you wouldn’t need the bullshit marketing job that saps your energy, you could work part time in a job unrelated to art and still afford the necessities of life while you work on the stuff you actually care about.

But, of course, we have a bullshit capitalist system. But even within the confines of that system, trying to just reject a productivity enhancing technology rather than harnessing it to the benefit of workers (rather than just allow capital to use the technology as it sees fit, which we have seen unions like the WGA in particular fight very effectively against, SAG-AFTRA less so but that’s a whole other can of worms) is, imo, always a fool’s errand. What we need isn’t to ban AI or create taboos against its use; what we need to emphasize that it is a tool for creatives to accelerate our work, to create more time for us to attend to the details, to ultimately help us make better stuff (and here I am lowkey or maybe high key talking about my day job tho I am being intentionally vague) rather than simply a way for capital to cut down on labor costs. Don’t hate the new robot player, hate the game lol. And in all seriousness, *organize* so that the game gets better rules. And share some of the benefits with capital too, because that’s how it works in the mixed economy (for now). AI generally is eventually going to automate away a lot of junior and entry level work in my industry… and I actually think that can be GREAT! Because then junior level people can actually be apprentices to the creatives that are doing the jobs they one day want to do, instead of getting stuck (as I did, for nearly a decade) doing boring technical work under the guise of assisting creatives, but not actually getting any better at the creative skill you are supposedly apprenticing to one day do.

“But bigsnzstanacct, what if I really love my marketing job greasing the wheels of capital using graphics and art work?” you say. Awesome! Then you should be mastering generative AI to get the most possible benefit out of it, because After The Revolution, we will need people to get the best out of the generative AI and touch up their work and fix their errors either inside or outside of the gAI programs. That is also part of how we harness AI to actually benefit society, by getting good at using it.

So anyway, sermonette over tl;dr: message me or send me another ask if you want me to delete my old posts of generative AI images; generative AI and AI as a whole is just a tool, the tool in itself is not good or bad, the institutions shaping its use are good or bad (and the capitalist institutions that dominate workers presently are very very bad and will incline towards using AI badly and in an anti-worker way in already precarious creative fields, BUT there is power in a union, and we can work together to improve the institutions such that AI can benefit us all, perhaps creatives especially.)

Under The Mistletoe

Warnings: cursing, drinking, oral sex, sex, soft!JJ

Pairings: JJ Maybank x Female Reader

Summary: In which Y/N and JJ have their first kiss under the mistletoe which leads to Y/N having soft sex with JJ.

Author's Note: I know it's not Christmas anymore but, I'm still re-posting some of my old fics so lmao.

You sipped your drink scanning the room. You were at a Christmas eve party but you were alone. Well, you did come with your friends but all of your friends seemed to have their lover with them kissing or dancing or snuggling.

You were usually ok with being single. You did enjoy just being able to have hook ups when you felt like it but, when the holidays came around it did make it harder sometimes. It just seemed like everyone has someone special to spend the holidays with.

Sarah had John B, Pope had Kiara, and JJ.. well he was single too but he always had a hook up. You and JJ were the only single ones in your group and you couldn’t lie… you had liked him for so long.

For one JJ Maybank is the hottest guy in Outer Banks and every girl agreed with you on that, he was just… so fucking gorgeous. He also had a great sense of humor and he was super sweet and he always had your back and protected you.

He had every quality you were looking for in a boyfriend. He is the perfect boy. None of your relationships had worked out in the past, then again, none of your boyfriends were JJ Maybank. That’s why you just stuck to hook ups now until you found that special someone.

And you swore that the special someone you were looking for was JJ but, you didn’t think he liked you back. He could literally get any girl he wanted no problem. Girls practically threw themselves at JJ Maybank.

You continued to scan the room. You were looking for JJ. He was your best friend out of everyone you knew. He has been since the 3rd grade. After you and JJ met, the two of you have been inseparable since.

You spotted JJ getting a drink on the other side of the room. You smiled and walked over to him. You figured since you were single and didn’t have a special someone to spend the holidays with, why not spend them with your best friend.

“Oh hey y/n.” JJ said with a smile when he saw you.

“Hey J.” You chuckled. “What are you up to?” You asked.

“Not much. Debating on whether I should get a hook up or not.” He said. Of course that was what he was thinking about, sex.

“I see.” You said with a chuckle. “I have been thinking about that myself too.” You said.

“You have?” He asked corking a brow. You were confused on why he sounded instantly jealous when you said what you said.

“Yeah.” You chuckled.

“Oh, ok.. actually come here.” JJ said. He took your hand and led you somewhere. You followed him confused. He stopped in a random spot in the room. It didn’t seem like there was anything special around so you were not sure why he brought you here.

“Why are we here JJ?” You asked.

“Well.. we are now under a mistletoe.” JJ said with a smirk. You looked up to see the mistletoe right above your heads.

“I- oh.” You said with a chuckle.

“And it is a Christmas law to kiss under the mistletoe.” He said.

“Since when have you been a law abiding citizen?” You laughed.

“Well if it means I get to kiss you then… I would follow that law.” He said.

“I- you want to kiss me?” You asked shocked.

“Of course I want to kiss you. Why wouldn’t I want to?” He asked.

“I just- does this mean you have some type of feelings for me?” You asked.

“Well yeah.. honestly I’ve had a crush on you since the 3rd grade.” He admitted.

“Really?” You asked, a smile started to spread across your face.

“Yeah.. but I understand if you don’t like me ba-” Before he could finish, you cut him off by pulling him in for a kiss. The two of you kissed under the mistletoe for a few minutes before you pulled back.

“So.. I am guessing you feel the same way?” He asked with a smirk.

“Of course I feel the same way JJ.” You giggled. JJ smiled and kissed you again then when he pulled back you looked into his eyes to see that they had darkened with lust.

“I want to show you how much I like you, if that’s ok with you of course.” He said.

“I- that’s perfect.” You stuttered a little, feeling yourself getting wet already. JJ smirked and picked you up carrying you upstairs away from the party. You giggled as he gently tossed you onto the bed before closing the door.

He walked to the end of the bed and immediately started to pull your dress off your body. You giggled as he threw your dress on the floor somewhere. You helped him pull his top off. He tugged off his pants so now he was just in his boxers and you were just in a matching lacy red set.

“Fuck you’re so sexy.” He said. You giggled as he got on top of you and began to kiss you passionately. You smiled into the kiss as he unclipped your bra. He only pulled away from the kiss for a moment to throw your bra on the floor then kissed you again.

You whimpered as he began to kiss your neck, gently biting your skin sometimes. He kissed down your neck to your chest. He began to suck on your left nipples while he massaged your right breast. Then after a few minutes he switched from left to right.

He trailed wet kisses down your stomach then tugged off your panties. He tossed your panties somewhere then spread your legs. You whimpered as he slowly kissed up your inner thighs. You whined and tried to pull him closer to your core.

“Be patient baby.” JJ said.

“Please.. stop teasing.” You whined. “I want you so badly.” You said.

“I know.. I can tell by how wet you are.” He said with a smirk as he licked a strip up your folds making you whimper. He smirked and then dived in. He began to suck on your bud making you moan out.

You put your hands threw his hair and rested your head back on the pillow. He then unexpectedly bit your clit gently making you gasp and jump a little. He smirked seeing what he touch was doing to you.

He kept eating you out and you kept getting louder as you slowly got closer to your high. JJ then shoved two fingers into you’re core making you gasp. He thrusted into you and sucked on your clit at the same time. He was so fucking good at eating you out.

After a few minutes you felt a knot start to grow in your stomach and you clenched around his fingers.

“You gonna cum baby?” He asked. You nodded and whimpered as your response. He smirked and kept going. “Then cum for me.” He said. With that your legs began to tremble as you came on his fingers and tongue.

He pulled his fingers out of you and took his mouth away from your clit. You whimpered from loss of contact.

“You’re so fucking needy for me.” He said with a smirk. You bit your lip as you watched him pull his boxers off, his cock slapped against his stomach as he pulled them off. He pulled on a condom. He hovered over you and aligned his dick with your entrance before pushing into you gently.

You gasped and moaned out as he thrusted in and out of you. He was gentle with you. The soft sex he was giving you was giving you euphoria. You wrapped your arms around his neck and locked your legs around his waist.

You moaned out and threw your head back. He took the opportunity to start kissing your neck again now that he had full access to your neck. He left hickies all over the soft skin on your neck, just making you moan out louder.

You felt that familiar knot bubbling in your stomach again. You clenched around his cock, signaling to him that you were close.

“You gonna cum again pretty girl?” He asked.

“Fuck yes I’m gonna cum!” You moaned out. He smirked and reached down to rub your clit, rubbing it at the same pace he was fucking you at.

“Come on, cum for me baby.” He groaned out. With that your legs began to tremble and you saw stars as you came on his cock. He kept thrusting into you for a few more minutes until he came as well. He pulled out of you and took the condom off throwing it in the trash.

You were laying there catching your breath. He laid down beside you and you snuggled into his side. He smiled and held you close.

“We can’t lay up here forever. John B, Kiara, Pope, and Sarah are going to start to wonder where we went, they might already be wondering actually.” You said.

“Well then let them find us.” He said with a smirk.

“I- JJ!” You chuckled and playfully hit his shoulder. “You really want our friends to find out that you just fucked me?” You asked with a chuckle.

“Why not.” He smirked. You chuckled and shook your head.

“JJ Maybank, what am I going to do with you?” You laughed.

“The question you should be asking is, what am I going to do with you.” He smirked. Right then you knew he was hinting for a round two, and you were 100% down for that.
