What character(s) would you have liked George to have included as a POV that made sense for the story?

Irri or Jhiqui late in ADWD after Dany left to augment Barry and Quentyn. And suddenly they turn from "simple, superstitious, loyal" and essentially mindless handmaidens to complex characters with their own opinions, motivations, priorities and judgments, and - this would be crucial - with an explicit eloquence that is denied to them from Dany's POV.

Dany speaks Dothraki as a second language, learned recently, and I can't help but think that the clunky, simplified way we hear them speak through Dany's POV is due to her inability to properly pick up and convey the nuances of their speech.

Either of these two characters suddenly emerging from the obscurity of Dany's inattention, as three-dimensional individuals would be really powerful because it would instantly reveal Dany as lacking true interest in them as people, which is pretty damning in terms of her heroic self-image. Plus, it would finally grant us better insight into Dothraki culture from inside it, giving it a voice and dignity, even if we don't share their values, similarly to the various Greyjoys giving us nuance and detail on Ironborn culture.

I think this would have amplified the impact of Dany's grasslands POV, her self-image contrasting with an outside perspective.

what do you think about ted lasso being mainly viewed through ted’s perspective? in short glimpses like jamie’s pov in lust conquers all and beard after hours, we can feel the tone shift and i wonder how the tone and themes of the show would adjust to an entire season with the absence of ted?

ooh, okay! i love meta. this is a really interesting question.

i think, personally, that the main reason ted lasso was such a comedy was because it was through Ted's POV, and Ted is a guy who has basically superglued rose-coloured glasses over his own eyes. Sure, we got serious topics brought up and sad moments, and I actually really enjoyed the way they were able to do that while still keeping it a comedy show. BUT. I think that without Ted as the pov character, there would be an opportunity for the show to get a bit more grit under its nails. It does have to go full serious. I don't think it should, honestly. Part of what makes it so amazing is the humour, and all the characters are quite funny in their own right, even without Ted. I just think that Ted as a character was so laser focused on forcing himself to be positive and happy, that he was truly horrible at handling conflict and actually letting problems and emotions process and all that. So without him, I could see the show drifting a little more towards exploring those deeper issues of mental health in sports, and letting characters actually struggle realistically for longer than a single episode arc, because that did seem to be an interest of the writers. Even if they didn't always... handle it great. Or maybe that's just what I'm interested in, but.... oh well.

It also depends on who they pick as a new POV character. Because I show through Roy's eyes versus Keeley's eyes versus Beard's eyes versus Rebecca's eyes, etc (you catch my drift) all look very different.

(I could also maybe see it becoming more of the football show since Roy, an actual footballer, would be the manager, so more focus on the actual sport would be possible.)

This is like my second time drawing a dragon in years, so I apologize if she looks a little wonky lol. Anyways, this is moonwatcher. I know some people don't like her, but she's honestly one of my favorite pov characters 🤷‍♀️

Would you be interested in Margaery Tyrell and Myrcella Baratheon as POV characters?

Do I think there would be potentially neat or engaging aspects to seeing inside Myrcella and/or Margaery’s heads? Sure. I think these are both interesting characters (especially Margaery, given that we see more of her), and I could see where they could be made more so by having greater insight into their personal thoughts and feelings. They are both intelligent, determined, keen-eyed young highborn women sure of their respective places in the universe, who might have very intriguing stories to tell about their backgrounds, families, and personalities.

However, I think GRRM (obviously) chooses his POV characters carefully, and I can understand why he didn’t choose to include these characters in that lineup. In the case of Margaery Tyrell, the distance of the Tyrells generally and Margaery specifically from the direct narrative storytelling heightens various aspects of ASOS and AFFC - Sansa’s isolation, Littlefinger’s political machinations, Cersei’s paranoia. Likewise, I think GRRM is using Myrcella to underline the tragedy of innocents caught in merciless circumstances; in that sense, I think GRRM might see Myrcella as less an actor in her own right (and so needing a POV) and more an unfortunate victim. (Whether or not this was the correct decision for the author on either part is a matter of personal reader opinion.)

New game focused on POV characters, folks!

Rules: Pick an OC and post a snippet from their viewpoint.

Now that I’m not being a complete doofus about what “OC” means in this context, let’s try this again! Thanks @late-to-the-fandom for clarifying that any POV character is appropriate for this meme. So without further ado, here’s a segment from my “Shaking in the Light” story written from Black Jack Randall’s perspective. For full context on the story including a summary and info for the “Dispatches from Fort Laggan” series, click through to the link. The sequence below shows Randall wrestling with his attraction to his brother’s partner Mary Hawkins while she fumes after kicking an arrogant doctor out of their house. Both of them trying their damnedest to keep Alex alive as his health continues to deteriorate has taken a toll. Black Jack feels himself starting to lose it in more ways than one.

To say 1746 gets off to a rough start would be a gross understatement. Not much of an upgrade from that foretold death of long ago, Black Jack thinks glumly as his brother’s health continues to decline along with any remaining hope of recovery. He arrives home one afternoon to a commotion upstairs—a male voice he dimly recognizes as Alex’s physician huffing indignantly, and Mary fast losing what remains of her commendable patience. “He’s in pain, Doctor. We’ve tried everything you’ve recommended. His brother pounds on his back and sides at least twice daily to help clear the phlegm. Jack and I help Alex eat when he can’t manage it himself. We keep the room warm and boil water with rosemary over the fire just there. We give him brandy to help him sleep. But he’s gotten so much worse. Now nothing stops the pain anymore even when he has a high fever and is barely lucid, like today. He needs…” “I’ll be the judge of that, miss. Laudanum is…” “I know bloody well what it is! It also happens to be the only thing with a chance of helping! And I’ve had quite enough of arrogant men thinking you can just talk over me as if I’m nothing,” she hisses. Jack’s heart feels as if it might turn flips within his chest. How far you’ve come in just a year, magnificent girl. He only wishes he could see the look on Mary’s face as she dresses down that pompous doctor. He’d never much cared for the fellow to begin with, even before he disrespected Alex’s dear companion thusly. “Don’t you talk to me about your patient. I’ve been caring for Alex day in and out all this past year; if he had the breath he’d tell you that himself.” “Perhaps I could talk to his brother…”

Black Jack can practically hear the temperature drop ahead of Mary’s next words. “I assure you Captain Randall wouldn’t do much talking if he could hear how you’re speaking to me.” Instinctively, he fingers the hilt of the sword still strapped to his belt. Too right, little dove. Then again, Mary seems to have the matter well in hand. “So either listen to me—that Alex is suffering and you’re doing absolutely nothing to stop it—or get out now, this instant!” Apparently the man finds precisely enough good sense to heed her order. He bustles out in a swirl of black wool, barely sparing a glance for Black Jack in the foyer. Mary follows close behind, quite literally chases the cowed physician from the premises with a menacing rustle of skirts. The doctor isn’t looking back in the slightest, surely fearful of what he’ll incur if he does. But Black Jack has no such compunctions. He raises one dark brow in Mary’s direction, sweeps his gaze over her flushed bosom and blazing eyes. God, he’s never seen her look lovelier. Admiration and longing swirl in his stomach. He wants terribly to brush the loose bits of hair from Mary’s brow and sweep her into his arms. “I suppose he won’t be coming back, then?” Mary purses her lips, keeps her simmering regard focused directly on Jack. “It’ll be his funeral if he does.”

Black Jack remembers, absurdly, what Murtagh had told him about the night he and Jamie collected Mary from Bellhurst. Th’ lass wouldna come wi’ us til she’d gone through evera drawer in th’ residence takin’ evera last knife. Coming from her it’s surely a credible threat. The best kind of all, Black Jack knows well. His throat goes dry; his groin aches. Mary just looks at him for several long moments. Those enormous eyes stay sparking with fury and something unnamed. He stares back, unable to look away or stem the tide of wanting that threatens to drown him. “We’ll need to hire a new doctor,” she murmurs. “Consider it done. I would give you final say though…in light of everything.” A knowing little smile plays over her lips. “I suppose I’ve been spoiled by the company of such intelligent men.” Mary’s eyes soften then as she asks about his day—“nothing so eventful as yours, I assure you”—and slyly brushes a bit of dust from the sleeves of his topcoat. Eventually she makes her way back upstairs, her soft voice fast settling into reading aloud from a novel he’d spotted by the bed yesterday evening.

Jack settles into his usual armchair by the parlor fireplace with a glass of brandy in one hand and a pencil in the other. Mary comes to life on the page in due course. Black Jack disappears into the flaring surfaces of her wide blue eyes, not dulled in the slightest by the gentle gray tones of graphite in two dimensions. Do you think this to be the first time I’ve had blood on my hands? Mary pauses in her reading after a time, drops her voice to a subtle whisper as it mingles with Alex’s. As he shades the likeness Black Jack listens to Alex laughing softly and the almost imperceptible sounds of kisses between coughs. He doesn’t dare think too long on what precisely Mary does to please him thusly. She stares back at him from the paper, radiantly angry in a splendid dress that he aches to unlace. Small wonder my dear brother thinks you hang the moon, he remembers saying in Paris many months ago. You’re no coward, girl. Jack passes another hour by the dwindling fire, drowning in her lifelike rendered eyes as she sighs softly upstairs. He tries to do the same with brandy and finds it miserably wanting. The drink does nothing now to snuff his wishing that Mary were making those noises for him. Idly he picks up another sheet of paper, contemplates it with wary trepidation. Well then. What can it hurt? He places another log on the fire and licks the pencil anew. In the warm glow from the flames, Mary’s eyes slide closed.

Lots more intrigue in the full story for those who dare. If you love the “heartbroken and horny combo pack” that so often colors Black Jack’s storylines in official canon, you’re definitely in the right place. Do heed the rating on AO3 if you venture further. Generally if you’re reading this blog you know you’re in for highly detailed erotica, but a reminder never hurts!

I was poking fun at how unexpectedly silly the CHB kids looked in armour in the first two episodes of the PJO show (acting like an almighty army and all) and then it hit me. This is exactly how some of them will look like when they will be dying in the final battle. Silly. Tiny. Literal children

#i'm sorry i always knew that they were children but #when i read books the characters' ages. idk. don't really register completely #maybe it's because i know their internal pov and don't hear their voices or see them #but these are. 12 y/os #fighting things #and only now that i see an actual live action rendition of pjo do i realize the weight of it all #they're so young oh my god #percy jackson #pjo #pjo tv show #lonely thoughts

Can you make me a scale of most grey to least grey POV characters? And can you sprinkle funny commentary throughout?

This has spent a few weeks pushed behind the stacks in my Inbox by other asks, but much to my consternation it was not eaten by moths or mice, and once again I am faced with this ask that you deliberately chose to send to me, even though I am such a nice person.

The Rouka remembers. 

Okay, fine, let's have a look . How long can it possibly take?

*counting the POVs*

*disapproval intensifies*

(I will make you pay for this.)

Okay. Fine. From DARK to LIGHT:

31) Varamyr - Like if Tyrion was a warg, but without the desire to be liked and doing “nice” things for that reason. Everything is an opportunity to feed his hungry, angry ego - warging, rape, murder, theft. In-built punishment: nothing is ever enough, because he secretly hates himself for being “lump”, and he always will. Get out of One-Eye and die already.

30) Cersei Lannister - Will refrain from murdering children if it’s the impractical thing to do. Is not viscerally delighted to witness or engage in graphic torture. Less of a hypocrite than certain other villains. She’s not pretending to be good. 100% Cersei time all the time, no apologies. Not that it will make you feel better when you’re down in Qyburn’s laboratory of doom. Evil but entertaining!

29) Tyrion Lannister - Like if Theon’s potential for complexity was utterly drowned out by self-pity. He’ll murder people and then whinge about how bad it makes him feel to have done that. And then do worse. He’ll instigate the devastation of an entire region over a personal grudge. I want to watch his soul be scorched while he watches, I want his monumental ego to convulse in agony while he realizes that the reason he is not loved is his own damn self. But he is occasionally friendly to people like Podrick, and will do “good” things if it flatters his ego, so I’ll rank him higher than Cersei. 

28) Daenerys Targaryen - the ego that obliterated the solar system. Like if Victarion was a young girl with dragons. Less rock, more lava. Programmed to Targ. Essentially incapable of escaping her fate because she was raised to consider herself the pinacle of humankind, and all morality is relative to her needs. Will kill a child. Will kill a slave. Will kill slavers for killing children. Very capable of sadistic pleasure. Vaguely more prone to contemplating ethical questions, and then ignoring the result when it’s unpleasant. Body count unusually high for someone her size. Hypocrite. Hypocrite. Hypocrite. 

27) Melisandre - Infected with an unfortunate case of “the end justifies the means”, coupled with an even worse case of Sunk Cost Fallacy when it comes to the whole Azor Ahai business. That special religious fanaticism flavor of “Burning you alive in complete agony is actually good for you! You’re welcome!” Will kill a child with completely neutral feelings on the subject. But her intentions are good! Not that this will comfort you while you feel your toes roasting on the pyre.

26) Victarion Greyjoy -  Exists on a level of stupidity so profound that it doesn’t even contain moral considerations. Many rocks are grey, but his rock is unfortunately programmed to ironborn, so all that rape and murder makes him a dark grey basalt.

25) Chett - Like if Tyrion was low-born and his disability was “ugliness”. He kind of wanted to be liked, but he chose to be a vengefully grim self-pity machine instead. Mean to animals, too! I don’t fault him for conspiring against Mormont, only for doing it in a really selfish way. RIP, and stop kicking those dogs! 

24) Aeron Greyjoy - what happens when your cultural programming makes it impossible for you to not be horrible, but you tried to have a redemption arc, so you went from being a violent raider to being a religious fanatic instead. He’s not evil, not even totally devoid of compassion. Just perfectly at peace with cruelty when it’s for the “correct” reasons. You reap what you don’t sow.

23) Theon Greyjoy - Oh my god, you trainwreck. You are what Tyrion wishes he was. Someone I can love in spite of his horrific trauma-driven choices. And they were horrific. Rape and murder and the enabling of both. And his good actions are still mostly rooted in ego. His love is real but it was so easily overpowered by his anger. Come on, squid boy, work on that self-reflection now that you have your name back. I will cheer for your atonement path should you choose to accept it. For now, you’re a tragedy that has stopped digging and taken the first step up toward the light.

22) Merrett Frey - Oh for the love of french fries, just shut up you pathetic little man. I would have more pity if you’d been a decent father, but you couldn’t even do that. Live by sneaky ambush, die by sneaky ambush. Wenda sends her regards: RIP with that branding on your butt. 

21) Jaime Lannister - So grey he can’t even see his own edges. Few qualms about engaging in villainy or trying to kill children on any given day, but restrains himself because he is touchy about his reputation. Not generally sadistic. Will save a maiden if it flatters his own self-image that day. Abstractly fascinated with the idea of being “good” in a way that promises a potential net positive effect of his existence, all things considered.

20) Asha Greyjoy - Special “Least dark Greyjoy” trophy! Love my girl Asha, but she is still ironborn and likes a good raiding and killing. Capable of taking on a broader perspective, though, and the only Greyjoy who considers her mother in her thoughts. Has a subtle but fascinating growth arc that promises good things in terms of forging a path away from a predatory lifestyle to a more cooperative one for what remains of her whole people. Keep on trucking, pirate lady.

19) Kevan Lannister - Special “One of the least toxic Lannisters!” trophy. Cute because he actually loves his wife and their children. But looses points for weaponizing misogyny against his horrific niece instead of taking vengeance in an honorable way. Also he’s still a Lannister and a Tywin stan, so. RIP, enjoy that stabbing, Kevan.

18) Jon Connington - Not a horrid person, but clearly too egocentric to take a step back and reconsider his taste in men, and whether the failure to win a siege through cruelty was truly a failure at all. Eh. But kudos for protecting Aegon. A loyal guy if nothing else. So far. 

17) Arys Oakheart - So pathetic he doesn’t even qualify as a baddy. No spine to speak of, feels really bad about beating a child on command, utterly incapable of standing up for himself, either in the face of moral pressure or in the face of temptation. Self-pity champion. Mediocrity, thy name is Arys. RIP, you made room for Ser Robert The Strong, who will be more entertaining than you.

16) Davos Seaworth - a smart, compassionate man rendered horribly pathetic by his blind loyalty to Stannis. Sure, he’ll smuggle out a bastard boy to save his life, sure, he’ll disapprove of burning people alive. But he still supports the quest for kingship of the guy who would have killed Edric and who does authorize burning people alive. Cognitive dissonance subtracts 50 points. Also a deeply mediocre father and husband. Meh.

15) Bran Stark - A sweet, loving boy, who is using a horrible coping mechanism to deal with a traumatic loss (and then some) and is running out of the “just a child” excuse. Rated darker than Arya because he knows that his innocent friend Hodor is terrified, and he’s still forcing himself on him, making excuses that he knows are weak because he wouldn’t dare voice them to someone out loud. Bran. No. NO. Bad boy. He’ll do better and save the world, though. 

14) Arya Stark - Promising preoccupation with justice that has - for now - been disturbingly derailed into enjoying vengeful vigilantism. Quick to lash out (verbally and violently) instead of taking ONE DAMN MINUTE to consider if her “opponent” maybe has more complex reasons for their actions than to Make Arya’s Life Harder. She is just as determined and stubborn for good things, though, like rescuing various people, or showing mercy to even the undeserving. Ultimately, a baby that needs to be held and cuddled so she’ll calm down. 

13) Arianne Martell - A political player, kind and clever but with a dangerous taste in friends and exes. Unfortunate capability of holding on to silent grudges forEVER and never trying to clear the air. Few qualms about using people to achieve her ends, including children, but also unusually capable of self-reflecting and honest regret. Genuinely wants to do well. The only way is up and up and up, future queen of Dorne.

12) Barristan Selmy - Kind of a nice guy, but in a deeply pathetic “just following orders” way he doesn’t want to admit to himself. Great at realizing he was wrong about someone after it no longer matters, and then rushing in to be blindly loyal at the next tyrant. Good with kids, though, and a joy to have in class.

11) Eddard Stark - TALK, DAMN YOU, YOU SOFT-HEARTED COWARD. Talk to your wife, talk to your nephew, talk to your daughter. FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE. They all love and admire you so much, you have nothing to lose, damn you! Oh, and while you’re at it, keeping hostages is a bad BAD idea. A good guy who will stand up to power, but who will unfortunately often take the easy way out when he has the power to do it. RIP, quiet wolf.

10) Jon Snow - Brave sweetheart with a dark side. His wobbly sense of self-worth leads to self-isolating, and sacrificing himself and others for the big picture. Questionable taste in childhood heroes. Imprinted on Ned’s “No talking” issues. Can snap into blind rage when the wrong button is pushed. A petty drunk. Has shown himself very capable of growth, though, and feels a profound sense of responsibility for the greater good. Soft for children, grim to abusers, will stand up to bullies, fluffy romantic. Will enjoy beheading you if you give him a legal excuse to do it. Kind to animals! Foreshadowed dark turn: Would you bed your sister? Jon? Answer the question! Jon! 

9) Pate - Not evil, but high on the self-pity and wounded ego, which makes him confused about what “love” is. He thinks it’s buying a girl from her mother, like a goat. Pate, my boy, did you consider asking Rosey if she even wants to tour the countryside on donkeyback with you? Did you ever consider that her mother has no interest in selling her to you for your stolen dragon? RIP, dumbass.

8) Catelyn Stark - One of the few consistent advocates for 1) women, 2) peace, 3) Eddard Stark’s cuddly torso. Follows social norms to a fault, which enables the stupid men and boys in her life to keep being stupid, and puts pressure on the non-conforming child. When she snaps, it’s for love. When she lashes out, it’s because she is basically incoherent from grief or has a bad case of raised from the dead. Made Tyrion look stupid, which is an ethical achievement. RIP, Lady Stark, daughter of Riverrun.

7) Sansa Stark - Will absolutely wish you dead and call you ugly and stupid if you wrong her, but be horrified if you actually die. Kind to people 95% of the time. Enjoys the snark, but mostly toward those who deserve it. At the moment far too comfortable with outsourcing her life choices to Horrific People due to self-doubt causing brain-freeze. Take some responsibility and be the change you want to see in the world, little one. The first step is the hardest. Foreshadowed dark turn: How would you like to marry your cousin? What if you didn’t yet know he’s your cousin? What then? 

6) Will - Just a dude in the Night’s Watch, doing his ranger duty and witnessing a horrid supernatural murder before being horridly supernaturally murdered. No moral failings to be detected. RIP, little poacher man.

5) Maester Cressen - Sweet to children, will self-sacrifice to stop a fire-mad sorceress, closes his eyes to the culpability of those he loves. RIP, old man. You tried with that Stubborn Stanny.

4) Samwell Tarly - Will canonically not even hurt a mouse and tries to reason with wights, but has one surprisingly violent outburst at a singer and finds manipulating elections to be a surprisingly intuitive task. A much better grasp of right and wrong than Jon Snow when measured by the scale of Gilly. Also an absolute sweetheart. Can’t wait to see GRRM torture him with real moral ambiguity in the future. <3

3) Quentyn Martell - He just wanted to make his father proud. He did nothing bad, and the one ambiguous thing he tried instantly roasted him. :( RIP, little dreamer. You will be missed.

2) Areo Hotah - He guards and he watches. No pretense at moral fortitude, but no known transgressions, either. Patient with Doran, fond of the Martell clan. Not many chinks in that armor. 

1) Brienne of Tarth - Wear shades or the bright white of her soul will blind you. The purest and bestest. Better than you, better than your fave, better than anyone else you could name, don’t even try.

I swear "x reader" fanfic writers save lives. You feel lonely and touch starved? Get some cuddle content! Everything kinda sucks right now? This character want nothing more than to comfort you! And they do requests, FOR FREE?! They are some of the most creative creators I've seen. I always feel better reading yalls content. Makes me feel less alone. And for the people who are like "that's so cringe," you know what's more cringe? Criticising people having harmless fun.

"x reader" author appreciation!

meeting wyll at the grove, as someone who the tieflings trust enough to train their children, says so much about him. it's so sad that he doesn't get explored in acts 2-3 as deeply as the other companions, when his problems are equally intense. the average player probably long rests once before coming across the grove, but even if not, in that time wyll has already proven to the tieflings that they can rely on the Blade of Frontiers.

this is the immediate first thing he chooses to do after being condemned to slow death via ceremorphosis. his priority list in the first conversations with tav is: 1) hunt down a dangerous devil, 2) help zevlor with the goblins, 3) once nothing threatens the tieflings he will gladly search for a tadpole cure. wyll is perpetually his own last priority, and i wonder if it has to do with the lore about souls.

if he believes mind flayers' souls have been destroyed, and fiend warlocks will all have their souls sent to the hells after death, then becoming a mind flayer isn't the worst possible way for him to die. he would never become a mindless monster to save his own soul, but he's not gripped by horror the way that some of the other origin characters are. lae'zel has been made revoltingly impure to her people, astarion is terrified of losing the scrap of bodily autonomy he just regained, gale is guilt-ridden over the orb detonation if he dies, shadowheart has to survive to prove herself to her cult leader, and karlach has also just regained bodily autonomy and is desparate to live.

this is just another quest for the Blade, whose persona guards wyll ravengard against the vice of self-concern when he ought to be concerned for those in need.

#wyll ravengard #bg3 #writing a wyll pov thing in order to roleplay harder in my durge playthrough & ive become obsessed w him #i love him so much. he doesnt even really get to realize in-game how traumatized he is and in act 3 he has not healed any really #come here wyll we are going to learn about self care. you & durge need to overcome the desire to give up your lives for your fathers ideals #faerun doesnt have LMHCs so wyll gets my durge who currently thinks he is (a miserable failure of) a cleric of ilmater. #this fic is practice for my 'ascended tavastarion struggle to quit being Like That' character study thing wherein i am struggling w dialogu #loving working on both. im in my little dollhouse making my toys try out lines until they fit #vampireposted

[rosedom]

thinking abt fucking my own cum back into a guy. pulling out post-fuck—after ringing one, two, five orgasms out of him—, the head of my cock catching on his hole before it pops out completely. having a thick string of cum connecting my cockhead to his puffy cunt, evidence of our connection, of the sticky seed i filled him to the brim with. all that cum slowly beginning to dribble out, sliding down his ass and puddling on the bed, and—

"stop staring," he'd say, he'd interrupt my adoring gaze with. of course i'd have to fuck that stark right back out of him !

cooing a teasing, "and?" at him, leaning in to kiss the tip of his nose before going right back to looking at the way all that cum i worked so hard to fill him with is dribbling out, an absolute waste. "it's pretty," i'd say, right as i run my finger through the mess of his cunt and fuck three of them up into him.

the way his back would arch, swollen cock throbbing as my palm can't help would brush it—goddamn. taking my fingers out for a second, a minute, all just to collect more of the escaped cum to fuck back into him with.

"can't let it go to waste, hm, baby?"

though he won't admit it, oversensitive and cum-drunk as he is, his cunt would undeniably tighten on my cum-covered fingers as he cums another time. and hey—i'll just have to fuck that right back into him too !

Oh my gosh this is actually so cool though!! I didn’t know this!!

Fourth person uses plural first pronouns for the narrator/titular character(s)

An example might be instead of:

‘I sit in the chair by the window’ Or ‘Jon sits in the chair by the window’

‘We sit in the chair by the window’

Here’s an excerpt from The Virgin Suicides by Jeffery Eugenides that uses 4th person:

“It didn’t matter in the end how old they had been, or that they were girls, but only that we had loved them, and that they hadn’t heard us calling, still do not hear us, up here in the tree house, with our thinning hair and soft bellies, calling them out of those rooms where they went to be alone for all time, alone in suicide, which is deeper than death, and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together.”
