#Day Thai Chicken Wraps

[its-time-to-write]

dress

this is my first time writing for anyone so… i guess we’ll see how it goes. reader and jamie are getting ready for a fancy dinner/benefit thing. it’s cute, a little swearing, no angst. allusion to sex but that’s it. i wrote this mostly for myself because there’s an appalling lack of jamie tartt fics. anyway.

dress

It is 3pm, and you have to leave in an hour and a half to make it to the annual benefit. Jamie goes every year, but this is your first. You had been talking to Keeley about it, lamenting your inability to pick something to wear, when she grabs your arm and says, “Don't worry about it babes! We can pick one out together.”

“Keeley, I’d love too, but I’m absolutely swamped with work. My forty hours are filled with clients, so my free time is basically all notes and treatment plans. That's why I’ve ghosted pretty much everyone except you and Jamie.”

“It's pretty much just Jamie at this point,” she says mischievously. “I’m not sure we would have made it to coffee if we hadn’t made these plans three weeks ago, especially because you didn’t even tap back to that pun I sent that Ted made the other day.”

You laugh. “I suppose you’re right. I am sorry, it’s just been so much work, what with taking on that new case and wrapping up that other one-“

“Like I said babes, don’t worry about it,” she says sympathetically. Her hand is still on your arm. “I totally understand what it’s like bein’ a young woman in business, yeah? We'll talk when it slows down.”

You take breath and nod. You both sit in silence for a moment, and then (because it’s Keeley and she is allergic to silence): “What if I took Jamie with me??”

You look at her, confused. 

“What if I took Jamie with me to pick you out a dress? I know fashion and he knows you, and I think between the two of us we could pick out something absolutely fantabulous! What do you say? I can text him right now.”

Keeley's practically vibrating from excitement, and you know for absolute certain if you say yes, they are going to come home with something the price of your first apartment. You also know they’ll bring you coffee on the way back so really, is there any option other than yes?

——

“No, you can’t see.”

Jamie has a large, nondescript bag that he is holding very tightly and an iced coffee that he is holding less tightly. You swoop in on the coffee as Keeley chimes in with: “It’s a surprise babes. You can’t see it until the benefit.”

Jamie points to her with his bag hand. “See? She agrees.”

You squint at Keeley. “This is why I hate it when you two hang out. You get together, you make plans to torture me and sure, you bring me coffee, but god at what cost?”

Jamie and Keeley are giggling like a pair of kids as you stand, still doing your best to glare and drink your latte. They do this every time, come up with some scheme because they think it’s funny when you get “upset.” It’s like a ritual. They go shopping, spend an inordinately long time, bring you coffee to appease you, and then purposely push your buttons. They feed off of each other like a pair of weird siblings and you love it. They both can tell when you’re too tightly wound and take it upon themselves to get you to laugh. Jamie waggles the bag under your nose which makes you crack a smile as Keeley cheers. “See, I knew you loved us babe. Or at least, I knew you loved me. Jury's still out on what you think of Jamie.”

That brings a full-on laugh as Keeley dances around the kitchen.

“You staying for dinner, Keels?” you ask, although you already know the answer.

“What are you making?” she asks, Jamie behind her mouthing in unison. You suppress the urge to giggle.

“Caprese salad, pesto chicken and pasta, and Thai tea limeade. Oh, plus I made those tiny baguettes you like and Jamie, I put your tea into smoothie form. Got spinach and all that.”

“Hm,” she says, finger to her chin and head tilted. Jamie mimics her. “I suppose that I can stay. Just this once though, and not very long.”

You smile and Jamie comes around the counter to kiss you. 

“I’m going to hide this,” he holds up the bag and points a finger at you “you don’t go looking for it.” He turns to Keeley, “You distract her.”

Keeley stayed her usual short amount of time, a mere six hours, giving you and Jamie a solid four hours of sleep until he has to train.

——

You shake yourself from your reverie as you reach for the dress bag. You unzip it to find something metallic with power shoulders and long sleeves, and are those little spines all over? It is long and black, yet somehow also purple and red. It is, in a word, hideous. You cannot reconcile what you see in front of you with the fact that both Keeley and Jamie picked it out, because they have never failed before, so maybe it looks better on? You sigh and begin to undress.

——

It is not better.

You go to find Jamie, looking fit in a cream hoodie and bubblegum pink suit, who takes one look and begins uncontrollably laughing.

——

“Jaim, listen. Jamie-” you’re cut off as Jamie doubles over in laughter. You’re laughing too as you catch his arms. “Babe- you can’t, you cannot leave me like this. How am I supposed to go the benefit like this? I look like a goth puffer fish!”

Jamie has collapsed to the floor in a fit of giggles, taking you with him.

“I- I’m- it-“ he gasps, “it’s so much worse- it’s so much worse than I thought it was going to be!”

You stop mid-giggle. “I’m sorry, it’s what?”

Jamie has laughed himself near tears as he holds your waist.

“Listen. Babe. You are not allowed to be mad at me. But. I may have let Keeley pick out that dress because- because,” he shushes you as you begin to protest, “I knew you would hate it, and you had nothing else to wear, and therefore you would have to wear the one that I got you.”

Your face goes through an inhuman amount of expressions as you process everything he just said, until you land on- “you bought me a dress on your own?”

“Yeah, yeah I did.” Suddenly Jamie looks incredibly shy. “Look, babe. I love your style, but the thing is, you like to play it safe.”

You frown, and Jamie holds up both his hands.

“Listen. You play your version of safe, but I think if you gave it a chance, you could expand your repertoire and we can be remembered as the hottest fuckin’ couple alive. Plus, it’s definitely way better than that horrid thing Keeley got.” 

You’re distracted by his correct use of the word repertoire, and all of a sudden you don’t care about wearing the dress anymore. All you can think is that you want it off and that ridiculous, handsome pink suit should come off too, and maybe it would be better if you both were on the bed than on the floor.

Before you can develop this thought further, Jamie is getting up and pulling you with him.

“C’mon, wait till you see it,” he says, maneuvering you out of the bedroom and into a guest room of all places.

“I had to put it somewhere you wouldn’t see it,” he explains.

All the breath has left your lungs as you look at the dress on the bed.

Jamie has purchased a short, lime-green, tulle halter-neck dress with a fluffy train in the back. It's your dream dress. The one you used to look at as a high schooler, a college student; the one that you dreamt of being able to justify; the one you told Jamie about exactly once, and yet somehow, somehow it is right in front of you in your house. 

Jamie’s arms snake around your waist, lips against your neck. “Do you like it?” he murmurs into your skin. You smile at that and turn to put your arms around him. 

“Do I like it?” you grin, “Jamie Tartt, you wonderful, beautiful, thoughtful boy, I love it. How on earth did you remember?”

Jamie smiles back, arrogance clearly written across his expression. “You think I’m beautiful?”

You roll your eyes. “That’s what you got from this you prick? I want to know how you remembered? I mentioned this dress once and somehow, it’s sitting right in front of me because you got it for me.”

Jamie is still grinning. “Tell me how beautiful you think I am, and I’ll tell you how I remembered.”

Your face hurts from so much laughter. “Jamie, you beautiful, beautiful man. I love your hair, your eyes, your smile, your lips, your-” you are cut off by his lips on yours. 

“Get changed, yeah? Then I’ll tell you.” You kiss him one more time, then he’s out the door.

——

You hear Jamie clattering around in the kitchen as you put on your shoes. You re-touch your lips and hair, then you’re on your way down the stairs.

“Hi babe,” you say to Jamie’s back, fiddling with the coffee machine.

You’ve never had someone look at you the way Jamie is looking at you now. It's the way you look at a good piece of chocolate cake: with a little bit of reverence, and the desire to devour. You forget to blink for over a minute, trapped in his gaze. 

He breathes out a single, “Holy fuck,” as he walks toward you and spins you off the bottom step. “you look fuckin’ amazing.”

“How did you know?” you ask, for what feels like the hundredth time.

Jamie sets you down on your bubblegum pink heels. “Easy. That was when I first realized I loved ya.”

Your face heats up. “You… realized you loved me… when I was rambling on about a dress I’ve wanted since high school? That was your moment?”

Jamie’s hands are still around your waist, your hands on his biceps. The room is pleasantly spinning a little bit, and a family of butterflies has taken up residence in your stomach. God, all this time with this boy and he still has the ability to make you feel like a giddy teen with a crush.

“Well, yeah babe, kinda obvious why, innit?” You scrunch your nose in confusion as he continues, “I realized you were talking to me like a real person, as Jamie Tartt, human, not Jamie Tartt the footballer. I felt all weird, so I talked to Keeley about it. Called her on the way home that night. After she finished laughing, she told me I was probably in love with you. Hearing it out loud made me realize she was right.”

The words are barely out of his mouth and you’re kissing him again, pulling him closer and closer until the moment is broken with a ding from Jamie’s phone. It's Dani, asking if you can pick him up on your way. Jamie ushers you out the door and into the car, and for a singular, spectacular moment, everything is perfect.

“Late Night Snack.” Timeskip Atsumu Miya x Reader NSFW‼️ 18+

AN: I’ve been thinking about this scenario for this Fox. Like I said before, he drives me nuts.

Synopsis: you were hungry! And your boyfriend sleeps better when you’re next to him. Now what?

WARNING: clingy fox boyfriend, dry humping, squirt, NSFW‼️, GRAMMAR.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Mmm.” You hummed.

You randomly woke up late in the evening because your stomach started growling all of a sudden. Atsumu’s arm wrapped was around your waist with his chest close to your back. you felt his chest rise up and down — his slow breaths brushing your neck.

You could stay in this position for a few more minutes. But, your stomach thought otherwise. You’re hungry. You noted. You slowly lifted your head up to see the time on the nightstand.

It’s 8:50pm.

You’d eaten dinner with your boyfriend not too long ago. It was good. In fact, you could not stop thinking about that delicious Thai food he brought home for dinner. Especially, his chicken burrito, that he left in the fridge. which you recalled. you want to stay put for a little longer, but you still couldn’t help it. So, you planned on how you’re going to escape from Atsumu’s hold.

Slowly, you turned your head back. Your neck straining a bit, you saw how peaceful atsumu looked while he’s sleeping. He had immediately came back from a long day of practice and all he wanted to do was eat and sleep with you. You pouted and thought if this was a good idea. To leave him for some leftover food. Oh well.

You gently rose up. A small groan was heard behind you. You continued as you felt his wrapped arm slide down to your hips. You moved the blanket off of your body slowly and slowly sat up on the edge of the bed. You heard another light groan from your boyfriend — which made you stop from getting off the bed mid way. You looked back at him again. And at the same time, your stomach growled again.

You gently lifted his forearm and unwrapped it from your waist and placed it on-top of your pillow. Your legs moved off the bed and your feet met the wooden floor, and you tiptoed out of the bedroom, and gently closed the door behind you.

Your hand on your chest, You let out a long exhale. You didn’t know that you were holding your breath while you escaped from his hold. He’s very clingy, you thought. “This better be worth it.” You mumbled, walking into the kitchen and turning on the light that’s above the stove. You opened the fridge and searched for the burrito. Voila! A white bag that has the name of the Thai restaurant he ordered from caught your eyes.

Smiling like a baby, you happily took it out and carried it to the kitchen island. You had one goal in mind and that was to eat some of that tasty burrito you remembered taking a small bite of. “He should’ve ordered two but that’s okay. Next time.” You murmured, opening the aluminum foil and eyeing the delicious chicken burrito. You wasted no time getting a knife to cut a “piece” off. it was actually more than that. “Woops.” You smiled softly.

You put it in the microwave and put the other half small piece in the fridge. As you waited for it to warm up, you walked to the living room and turned on the tv. The colorful lights illuminated your face as you stood in front of it changing channels; until you found a random “paid programming” show that talked about selling jewelry and other items for Black Friday.

“Beep…Beep…Beep.” The microwave signaled. you happily threw the remote on the wide suede couch. “Yaaay~” you whispered, opening the microwave. “Smells so good.” You blew the food as you walked back to the wide couch, while your other hand carried a cup of water. Before you started to eat, you got yourself comfortable by wrapping the flinch blanket around yourself since you were a bit cold —you’re wearing a fitted strapped cami top and panties. “Better!” You whispered, snuggling in the warmth of the blanket.

You took your first bite and moaned at how delicious the burrito is. Your small hands held onto the it as you took a big bite from it, while you watched the seller show some pearly earrings and necklaces for sale on the huge flat screen tv.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a while, you laid down. “Mm.” You could barely speak. You’re so full. But the burrito made you feel so much better. However, you were lazy to get up and go back to bed. So, You decided to watch tv for a while until you fall asleep on the couch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hmm…” a grunt left his lips.

Atsumu’s hand brushed against your pillow. He groaned and moved over to feel your warm body. You’re not there. He groaned again and said, “baby…come’re.” No answer. He managed to open his eye, sleepily. You’re still not here. “What..?” He said drowsily, slowly sitting up on the bed, looking for you on the bed in the darkness. Hoping that he’s still sleeping, he brushed his hand across the sheet. You’re really not here. He let out a whine. One that sounded like a kid that lost his mom in the supermarket. “Please tell me I’m dreaming.” He sighed and got up from the bed, and dragged his feet to the door.

**He pushed his messy bangs back with fingers as walked out the bedroom. He checked to see if you were in the bathroom. but, the light is off. He frowned and continued to look for you. Suddenly, he noticed the colorful lights coming from the living room as he walked through the hallway. there you are. Your figure was laid down on the wide couch.

He stood there for a moment in disbelief. She left me alone f’ tv huh. He thought to himself. He turned his head to check the time on the microwave. 9:50pm. He turned to look at you from afar. “Maybe she’s sleeping.” He mumbled, walking into the living room to turn off the tv. You heard his footsteps and turned your head to him.

“Oh. Hey babe.” You said lowly, watching him walk around the couch. He stood in front of you, blocking the tv screen. You eyed him from head to toe. His bare chest making you catch your breath. Especially, his fitted boxers. “Ya left me alone in the bed!.” He pouted, his figure looking heavily sleepy. You smiled softly. “Sorry, I was a bit hungry.” You tried to hide your laughter when you saw his pouty face and his messy bed hair. “Come back to bed with me , baby.” he whined, his drowsy eyes slowly closing a bit. “I want to stay up a bit. You can go without me, Tsumu.” You said, looking at him with concern. You felt bad that he came all the way here because you’re the antidote that makes him sleep better.

He whined again and turned to look at what you’re watching on tv. “Baby.”whined yet again, turning back to you. He’s a big baby, you thought. “I’ll come back when I feel like it, babe.” You spoke, but he whined again and you giggled. You don’t think he’s going to listen to you. You’re laying comfortably on the wide couch.

As if he read your mind, he pulled the blanket over your body and knelt down on the cushion to lay on top of you, and covered his back with the blanket. You giggled again as you watched him get comfortable - wrapping your legs around his waist and his arms wrapped around your form from underneath. “Tsumu!” You whispered, giggling softly at his behavior. He laid his puffy face on your chest and didn’t say a word.

“You wanna watch tv with me then, baby? You smiled softly, slowly working your fingers through his hair and his undercut. He hummed as he watched tv. However, whiff of your breath brushed his face. his quickly head struck up and he frowned at you. You stopped your fingers at looked up at him in surprise. “What?” You smiled in confusion. “Oi. Did you my burrito?” He asked, trying to look mad but failed. He’s too sleepy. You snorted and whispered, “only a few bites.” You smiled. “But Don’t worry, The other half is in the fridge.” He laid his head down, “Oh. Didn’t think you liked it. Cuz ya so picky.” He admitted, his deep sleepy voice taking over. “Well, now you know.” You scratched his undercut, lovingly.

Minutes passed, and you listened to Atsumu’s groans as you scratched his head, gently. You smiled while you watched the holiday commercials. His warm weight above you and feeling his warm breaths brush your chest, you felt lucky. “Mmmm.” The head scratches felt so good. He lifted his head began kissing your neck, gently. Your fingers changed its pace by slowly stroking his hair. his long and warm kisses was distracting you from watching the Black Friday sales on tv. Your breath hitched when he suddenly kissed your favorite spot over and over. the one makes your pulse increase.

“Tsumu...” you moaned, stretching your neck to give him more room. He hummed and moved his kisses up under your ear and down to your jawline. Your other hand caressed his neck while he did so. moments after, he captured your soft lips with his and kissed you, deeply yet slowly — thanks to his sleepiness. Your hands moved up to his neck as you your soft lips slowly moved in sync with his.

You can tell that he’s still sleepy but you didn’t bother stopping him. You moaned in between the kisses as your fingers combed through his hair. Soon after, he broke the kissed began leaving kisses on your collarbone and your neck, again. You turned your head back to the tv while your hand brushed his bangs and the other caressing his bicep. Your deep breathes echoed in yours ears and his as he continued his task.

Atsumu rose up a bit and to pull up your cami top. you arched your back to help him. feeling your nipples harden from the make out session; now that your breasts are revealed. He held them close together. “My babies.” He grinned before he began kissing around your breasts , slowly. you felt the warm appendage lick around your breast - making you push your chest closer to his mouth - to lick your nipple. He kneaded the two flesh while he admired your it. His brown orbs ogling your nipples. He began licking your nipple and you gasped. He licked it slowly with enough pressure. Feeling the tip of his tongue on it. “Mm.” You whimpered, listening to sounds of his tongue flick it, feverishly.

He did the same with the other. You pushed your head back on the couch pillow while your hands stroked his hair - making it messier. You kept arching your back while he licked them just right. Slowly. The way you like it. “Ah.” You moaned, closing your eyes here and there and biting your biting lip when his lips wrapped around your nipples . Sucking them lovingly. You whimpered and slid yours hands down. Your fingers gently scratching his broad back while sucked your nipples.

Your wrapped your legs around his form; the heel of your feet massaging his lower back. “Mmm.” You breathed, working your hands up to both sides of his face, feeling his tongue swipe your nipples, passionately.

Atsumu moved up to kiss your lips. His tongue slowly invading your mouth and wrapping it around yours, passionately. What’s gotten into him? You managed to ask yourself. But your thoughts got lost when he began grinding his bulge on your covered pussy, side to side. Slowly. Enough to make you start whimpering in the deep kisses. you became putty underneath him — your lower body felt tingles from his warmth rubbing against your covered pussy.

You broke the kiss and looked up at him. His sleepy brown eyes hypnotizing you in need of your attention. “Unh.” You whimpered, your dowey eyes blinking as were still looking up at him. He smirked. Continuing to slowly roll his hips in circles. “Ahh.” You raised your legs to feel more of that warmth — your legs slowly dangling in the air. You held onto his arms due his pace making you become needy. You started rolling yours hips in circles to meet his own. “Ah…Right there.” You whispered, looking down at the ministrations. His big bulge sliding up and down. making your clit throb whenever the tip bumped against it. He chuckled lightly and kissed your forehead before he raised himself - hands on either side of the couch pillow. He watched you roll your hips up and down.

“Haa…” Your deep breathes rang in his ears. He tilted his head and hummed. Your head fell back on the pillow when you felt your clit get poked by his covered tip. “You like that, huh.” Smirking, he stopped rolling his hips and puts his arm down in between. You watched him curiously before he pulled your panty aside. He pulled it with enough force to make stay on the side. “Ah!” You gasped when he dipped a finger deep into your folds. Rubbing it and then moving it up flick your clit. You quivered as the rough calloused pads rubbed your clit, making you become wetter. he dipped the tip of his finger into your cunt, teasingly. Feeling your warm arousal cover it. “You’re wet, baby.” He mumbled, getting into position again. You moved your small hands down to his hips. He spread his legs further and you did the same. You wanted to feel everything.

He applied some of his weight on you as slowly bucked his hips up and down. “Ooh.” You moaned, his covered cock felt so warm against your bare pussy. You deep breathes kept hitching each time he rolled his hips up. “Ooh yeah…oh baby.” You grunted, grounding your hips up, Your sensitive clit throbbing against the soft thin fabric - making you quiver from the overtaking sensation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The fluttering sensations from your clit overtook you as atsumu slammed his hips against you, slowly. Ooh. Yeah…ah.” You moaned softly, feeling the satisfying relief your pussy was receiving. Soon after, his thighs slapped against yours quickly as you quickly rubbed your pussy against his warmth; getting close to your release. “Unh!” You breathed heavily, twitching as you’re clit kept throbbing while you rode out your first orgasm.

“Mmm.” You fingers brushed his arms softly and you moved them up to the sides of his neck. Your clit was still throbbing from the first orgasm. “Baby.” You called softly, pulling him down. Atsumu lowered himself to capture your needy lips. “Mmm.” You moaned, his needy lips smacking against yours. He applied some more of his weight which made you roll your throbbing clit against him to help you cool down.

you wanted more. His soft lips nibbled yours, while your hands held his cheeks. He suddenly broke the kiss and you whined. He sat down on his knees and eyed your pretty pussy. Wet and spread open for him. He felt the wet patch on his fitted boxers. he looked down and noticed a shiny wet patch on the center of it. He brushed his fingers against the fabric. small strings of your arousal stretching on his fingertips.

Your cheeks started to feel hot. You tucked your lips — feeling a little embarrassed by your actions while you looked at the small mess you made. “Wow.” He chuckled, making you look up at him. “I love the way you use me, baby.” He said deeply, his sleepy voice still evident. You blushed and turned your head to look at what’s on tv but your breath hitched when he quickly grounded his hips against yours, again.

You hands fell on either side of your head. you looked down in between and saw his hands slide their way up to the back of your knees and slowly push them down to the cushion. Your pussy feeling even more exposed, he leaned over to be closer to your face and rolled his hips up against your pussy. “Oh god.” you gasped, grounding your hips, and rolling it up to meet his thrusts.

Your breast bounced at a gentle pace. Feeling them respond to his ministrations as your pussy bumped against his covered cock. You mouth slightly ajar, you couldn’t form any words. Just lost in his actions while you watched in between. His deep hums echoed through your ears, his iron grip underneath your knees made you feel putty, and the way his abs looks pushed in while he was pleasing you — all of it making you even more putty under him.

Soon after, the sloppy wet sounds goes unnoticed. Simultaneously, you and him watched the action from in between. your eyes widened when you saw thick strings of your arousal stretching on his covered cock each time he rolled his hips. “Mmm. look at that, baby.” He hissed. “ Making a mess, aren’t ya.” He chuckled, watching your pussy get smothered with your arousal as he circled his hips. “Ahh.” You whimpered, a certain roll of his hips made you move your hands up to his neck and look at him. “Right there, Tsumu.” You pleaded, biting your bottom lip.

You’re toes kept clenching and unclenching from the sensation. “Oh..yeah” you breathed in his face. A sudden change of his pace made you roll your hips up, forcefully. “Oh!” You cried, finding the perfect spot to rub your clit against. His thighs slapped against yours roughly. You hissed as they were starting to ache; mixing with the pleasure.

Your hips rolled off the cushion to meet his thrusts but his strength overtook yours as your clit was getting stroked and slammed on, roughly. You broke the kiss and kept whimpering. “That’s it baby.” He praised. The sensation overtaking your body, Atsumu outstretched your left leg and slammed his covered girth on your soaked pussy, frantically. The couch cushions started creaking relentlessly. “Oh baby!” You whined, your throbbing pussy feeling his warmth from his rough persistence. Your held onto his shoulders for good balance; not letting your throbbing pussy miss his quick thrusts.

“Unnnhh.” You slowly dragged out, Your head fell back on the couch pillow. The filthy squelching sounds slapped on your sloppy pussy. “Good girl, baby.” He hid face hides under your neck. “Mmm.” He moaned, he spread his legs further apart to feel your sloppy pussy soak his boxers — clearly covering his cock with your fluids. The thick sounds gets louder as he increases his pace. Your body shaking under him. “Aaah! Oooh fuck ye-es.” You whined, his hips stuttering against yours, feverishly.

“Unnh!” you whimpered, your next orgasm is getting closer. Your hands gripped the waistline of his boxers. “Don’t stop.” You grunted, quickly rutting your hips up — your clit trying to seek for more friction. “Mmmm.” He hummed against your neck and circled his hips playfully. your mouth widened — not forming any words as your clit felt everything. Soon after, Your clit started throbbing uncontrollably.. “O-oh!” You frowned, grounding your hips up to his. “G’ head baby.” He encouraged you, rolling his hips side to side. You pulled his hair and began rubbing your clit on his covered girth, quickly. You felt his lips form a smile on your neck.

“Un-nnh” Your voice shook, his warmth felt so good rubbing on your clit. Atsumu kept humming, let you take control a bit more before he rose up and grabbed both knees from underneath, and started rutting his covered cock against it. “Aaa-ah!” cried, suddenly releasing your orgasm. squirting all over him. “That’s it baby.” He hissed, his hips slamming against yours roughly — his midsection getting splashed on. “Aaah!” You kept leaking while it pooled on either side of your hips and down on the couch. The wet skin slapping echoed in the room. “Ts-Tsumu!” You cried out, squirming underneath him.

“Thaaats it, baby.” He praised you. “Let it all out.” He gripped your hips and bucked against you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Mmph.” You groaned, roughly. The cool down was taking a while to go away. You listened to his humming voice next to your ear — slowly rolling his hips up and down. A satisfied sigh left your lips when you stared at the ceiling. Everything felt so good. Even though you’re still twitching below him. “Mmm.” You moaned, gently rubbing your still throbbing clit against him, slowly.

He lifted his head up to look at you. A fox-like grin covers his face. You rolled your eyes. “What was that for?” You asked, impatient to hear his answer. “Ya give the best head scratches, babe.” He replied, his grin widening. “I thought you wanted to watch tv with me, Tsumu.”

“Ya didn’t stop me, though.” He chuckled. “Shut up!” It’s true. You didn’t bother to. But still.

You wanted to wipe that smirk off his face. He knows you loved it. “Anyway. What are we gonna do about the couch? It’s a mess.” You mumbled, feeling bad. It’s a very expensive couch. “Don’t worry.” You raised an y. “ I’ll have room service come clean it up tomorrow morning.” He said, kissing your cheek.

“But…they’ll think that we’re not… normal people.” You said, feeling embarrassed. He chuckled, “Nah! they’ll jus’ know that I can bring the best out my girlfriend.” He replied, grinning like he just won 3 volleyball tournaments.

That didn’t help at all. You rolled your eyes. “Get off me!” You pushed him and he rolled over to the side, laughing. “Can we go back to bed now, baby?” He asked playfully, messing with you. You pulled your top down. “You’re sleeping on the couch tonight, Tsumu!” You got up and walked to the his bedroom, “Eh?” He stopped and blinked. “Nooo!” he whined quickly getting up from the couch, catching up to you.

“Shut up!” You gave a breathless laugh as you took out another pair of your panties from his drawer.

“I love you~” He hugged you from behind, quickly leaving kisses on your neck to forgive him. “Whatever.” You put on your panties and walked to your side of his bed. He smacked your ass and followed you.

“Go change your underwear Tsumu!”

“You wanna show?” He wiggled his eyebrows. “Tsumu! I swear to - “ he pulled you into the bed with him. “I don’t feel like it!” He pulled you close to his chest and kissed your lips playfully until a smile appeared on your face and you giggled.

You love me. He thought to himself.

GHOULS AND THEIR FAVORITE FOODS

Started thinking of the ghouls a little too much while I was hungry, so Im now here to present this dumpster fire.

Aether: frozen yogurt

He loves when it’s warmer out, it means the cold treat is even better than usual (yes he's the type to eat cold stuff when its cold out). He loves the tart, plain flavor and puts cookie dough bites and butterfinger pieces on it.

Dew: ravioli

Any filling, any sauce. Lil guy will put these away like they’re air. The store bought, premade ones are good, but he loves the ones Mountain makes— mushroom and cheese filled in a brown butter sauce.

Aeon: rice crackers

He likes to think that this is what it must feel like to chew on styrofoam. Sure they taste good, but he mostly eats them for the crunches. He lowkey hates the ones wrapped in seaweed.

Aurora: indian food

She is an absolute fiend for samosas. She could make a meal out of it if only she didnt want to eat everything else on the menu. She loves literally everything, but her favorite is chicken madras. She’s busy eating her way through the menu at the restaurant in town. She goes with Copia every Friday for lunch, its their “thing”.

Mountain: barbecue

He’s in heaven whenever they tour through some of the southern states. Loves brisket. Loves cornbread even more.

(he also just loves meat in his mouth)

Rain: cheap pizza

He loves all chain pizzas, but his favorite is Little Caesars. A crappy and slightly-overcooked-from-sitting-under-the-warmer pizza will cheer him up on even the worst days. Also hates olives. Like he really, really hates them. Dew messed up the first time he ordered and got a supreme pizza with olives and Rain straight up cried.

Sunshine: pierogies

She'll eat any pierogi, as long as you give her sour cream on the side. Sometimes she likes them crisped up in butter, but that's a big sometimes. Sunshine has still not found a filling she dislikes.

Swiss: fancy(ish) pizzas

I cant really blame the guy for liking the woodfired stuff. Favorite toppings include but are not limited to: roasted garlic, roasted peppers, prosciutto, and arugula. Him and Rain are opposites when it comes down to this.

Cumulus: pad thai

Americanized or traditional, she will devour it. Though she regularly eats meat, she only gets tofu as the protein option for her pad thai. Unlike the others who seem to have had the best luck, she has found one that she absolutely hated. It was from an Asian fusion chain restaurant. She would've sent it back if she wasn't so scared of being perceived as rude.

Cirrus: crab rangoon

She hates when there's actual crab in her crab rangoons. She just wants that sweet cream cheese. It is the only thing she asks for when they pick cheap Chinese food for dinner.

Most memorable items of clothing in bl series in 2023

In order of their airing/me watching them:

I'm thankful I've gotten into the habit of noting which shows I watch and when otherwise I wouldn’t be able to remember. As it is, first on my list is Bed Friend, which kind of sets the tone for this post since it features the best and the worst outfit choices for Uea. The waffle robes and cat ears vs the fake sleeves shirt.

Next is a quick shout out to Por in My School President, since the show started in 2022 but did finish in 2023, and basically all of his outfits. The man is a style icon. But this stripy polo shirt takes the biscuit for me. I need to have it.

On to Moonlight Chicken and this one is a combined effort between Heart and Li Ming. @telomeke prompted me to write a little about it, but essentially the two shirts together are saying 'you're my other half'. Urthe / Tomato sauce.

The Gloves! Need I say more? (Alright, for those of you who don't know - how could you not?! - they're from Chains of Heart).

And now not strictly an item of clothing but an accessory, the most straight ankle bracelet you'll ever see in a thai series. Totally platonic, not gay AT ALL. In Midnight Museum.

In July the different Thai production companies took stock of three versions of the same stripy linin shirt – the cream long-sleeved, the brown short-sleeved, and the charcoal short-sleeved - and proceeded to clad every actor they could in one of them within a three and a half month period (six shows*, eight different characters). We had couple-shirts with both Kawi and Pisaeng and Mew and Top wearing them, and Namneua in Wedding Plan wore all three. (*Step by Step, Be My Favourite, Hidden Agenda, Wedding Plan, Love in Translation, and Only Friends).

Staying in July for a while, and speaking of weddings, Kawi rocked on up to Pearmai and Not's wedding in Be My Favourite in this brown houndstooth shirt and black pants outfit - an almost exact replica of Ray's outfit in the original pilot trailer for Only Friends. I waited with baited breath to see if Ray would still wear the outfit in the actual series...and he did! Not only that, I then realised Uea had already worn it in Bed Friend earlier in the year.

In a surprising turn of events, Be My Favourite – and Krist – turned out to actually be Quite Good. Perhaps distracted by Krist's puppy eyes, we weren't entirely ready for the first appearance of the Dudes shirt – itself a wonderful comment on the narrative since Kawi was figuring out his feelings for Pisaeng – but it was a delight to see it again on Nick in Only Friends, and offering a different narrative comment.

This next one may only be notable for me, but when I was doing my dedicated scan through of oh so many shows to collect items for the communal wardrobe, I noticed this sand and grey sweater amongst the many other items of shared clothing which appeared in The Warp Effect and then very briefly on Pisaeng in Be My Favourite. Not long after, the trailer for Last Twilight dropped and I spotted it again immediately. I've also since noticed it in a speed scan of The Shipper. Not only do I think it's a pretty neat sweater, but I loved the effect it gave in Last Twilight, which I wrote about at the end of this post.

This is getting long but I'm going to keep going (this might be the only 2023 wrap up I do so I'ma make it count).

If you've been following me for a while (or since the BBS days), you���ll know how rabid I go when I see a pair of the yellow-soled Mustard brand shoes in a show. The most recent being in Hidden Agenda worn by Zo…but they're not the ones on this list. Oh no, it's Joke's blue-soled shoes which made me sit up and scream this time...meaning even their shoes were colour-coded in this show. Oh how I wish I could buy a pair of each.

There were many fabulous outfits in Laws of Attraction (especially Charn's) but Tanthai's green rope shirt wins out for me. Green seemed to be used in the show to represent the lies and secrets Tanthai was forced to keep because of his father, and he was metaphorically bound and trapped in these lies and his life. Ah perfection!

I've mentioned a lot of brilliant items but there have also been many awful ones, and the one I can't seem to stop thinking about (or horrifying over) is the Droopy Tits shirt (or Nipple Protector, whichever way you want to call it) which first appeared in Dangerous Romance and then The Jungle just three days later. I'm surprised we haven't seen it again to be honest, but I imagine if we get more spoiled rich kids we probably will.

These next two aren't specific items but more of a shout out to the whole wardrobe design of the shows.

First, Only Friends, with Mew and Ray's transformation to Ray and Sand's (respective) wardrobe choices, as well as the inversion of colours to highlight differences in relationships, and the use of colour-groupings to separate characters (<- a post i have yet to write). I wish I could write more about it…but life is just too busy to give it the time it needs.

The second is, of course, Ai Di and Chen Yi in Kiseki: Dear to Me with how they always share a colour in their different outfits. @respectthepetty details this perfectly here, so I don't need to. I am however still feral about these two and can't wait to do a full re-watch of the show.

And lastly, much like Baseball Mom in Bad Buddy two years ago (and to be honest many of Pat's other shirts), Aof recently gifted us another absolutely ridiculous but brilliantly poignant t-shirt slogan in Mhok's Fart Proudly shirt in Last Twilight, which I went into detail about here. Just A+

Thanks for sticking with me through all that! Any others that stood out for you or that I missed?

barbecue day (feat damian)

— aurora todd verse

"Well it's not."

"It is, Todd. I know it's kind of hard for you to understand, but it is."

"It's not—"

She is in the kitchen, cutting some condiments for some sambal to go along with chicken thighs and tomahawk steaks that Jason is currently roasted over portable grills in backyard.

But he's apparently bickering with Damian—who is visiting from his university's summer break, who's helping here and there but mostly supervising Aurora, which she has provided with entertainment in the form of her inflatable pool and her baby toys.

The thing is, they've been bickering for like ten minutes straight. She's pretty sure their closest neighbor know what they are arguing about already—meanwhile she only caught something about latest episode of some sci-fi show and latest video game update because she was chopping garlic with her new chopper and it drown their voices for her.

She needs to make sure that they get along.

And oh, how she has an idea.

As she wash her hands, she can hear them becoming more louder.

When she is finally opened the kitchen door towards the backyard, she finds out Jason's making gesture with his free hand and his other gripping kitchen tongs and Damian, which is inside Rora's inflatable balloon, making gestures with his hands holding some of her baby girl's toys.

If this isn't comical.

She clears her throat.

"Jay."

Jason instantly stops talking and Damian too—but not without drawing out his last syllables.

Damian immediately sits down on inside the pool.

"Yeah, sweetheart?"

Jason is back facing the grill, flipping some of the chicken thighs. You want to roll your eyes in affection.

"I need you and Damian to buy me some Thai chili and lemongrass."

"I thought we already have all the ingredients."

"Well, we actually were underestimating the need of several sambals."

Jason basically can't say no to her request, so he just drops the kitchen tongs and cleans his hands on the nearby outdoor faucet. Then, he picks up Rora from inside the pool.

Damian gets up, eyeing the grill—probably about to take over Jason's work. But she claps her hand seemingly to surprise her brother-in-law.

"Damian, why don't you go with Jay and Rora? I can handle the grill."

"How much she said she needs the lemongrass again?"

Damian asks when they're at the last traffic light before the grocery store. He's the one driving. Jason's shotgunning and Rora is on her baby chair on the backseat.

"Five stalks, but she also said just pick one plastic wrap building."

"And—"

"Ten ounces."

"Ons!"

Rora mimics, which surprised Damian.

"Thank you, Rora."

When it's green, he starts talking again—while Jason is currently turning to face Rora, giving her grubby little hands her a baby biscuit.

"I cannot believe she's your spawn, Todd."

"Me neither."

Jason looks ahead—back to the street in front of them afterwards, but Damian can see from the corner of his eye that he sports a fondly smile because they're talking about his niece.

"I actually think she acts more like her mom and the biggest evidence that she's yours is because she literally have your eye color, which is improbable for it to come from her mom's genetics because her eyes are dark and her heritage; but now I can see that she behaves like you, too."

Jason definitely isn't prepared to hear his little brother saying all of that, but he turns his head to the

"Really?"

"Yup. Believe me or not, before we were bickering—which I am sure why your wife sent us away, if you haven't noticed yet—I was inspecting how you and Rora interacts."

"Of course you did."

Damian dismisses his older brother.

"And from that, I can see that she's your mini you. I mean, she's obviously her mom's mini me, but it's not without you."

"That's genuinely the nicest thing you said to me today, little brother, and I appreciate that."

The twenty-one years old man shrugs.

"Don't thank me. I was just saying facts. Anyway, we're here."

Damian stops the engine and opens his car door. He goes to the backseat door to release and hoist Rora from her seat.

Jason definitely can see his smile before opening his own door, though.

"What's this sambal called again?"

Damian points his fork at the chopped herbs and Thai chili bowl of sambal.

They already finished cooking and are sitting together in a round backyard dinner table.

"Matah. M-a-t-a-h."

"Matah," Damian nods, "it's so fresh and fragrant from the kaffir lime leaves and the lemongrass. I like it. It's unlike anything I have ever tried."

"We can put it in a jar if you want to have some when you're going back to to uni, right, Jay?"

"Of course. You should send him your recipe too, so if he runs out he can make it himself. It's quite easy to make."

"Thank you."

Damian smiles gratefully at her and Jason. She almost cannot believe these two were bickering like teenage boys awhile ago. That's just what being siblings like, she guesses.

"Easy! Uncy!" Rora giggles. She's perches on her baby high chair beside her mom and face to face with Damian. Her little fingers holding a piece of cucumber that she's chewing.

(She is pleased she picks up "uncle" when she's talking to Damian)

"Thank you, little Rora."

mariea's notes: another writing out of aurora todd universe. randomly, "cannot believe she's your spawn" line came into my mind and then the rest is history. i know this series(?) don't have much readers compared to my regular fluff or especially regular smut (lol) but i really love exploring the dynamics of this family throughout my writings. also, trying the third person now. probably going to stick to this. as always you can drop a request (any) or a question and thanks for reading <3

This Week in BL - Disappointing Doom

Feb 2023 Wk 3

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

My School President (Fri YT) ep 12fin - Them openly dating and flirting with each other (finally) while keeping it “secret” was hilarious. No surprise they got outed tho. The whole “coming out homophobic teacher” sequence was very extra but suited this show. And ending with prom could not be more YA. Plus smiley kisses! 

CONCLUSION?

GMMTV gave us a classic high school set Thai BL with tropes like messy boys singing their feelings that was Love Sick for the modern age with all the gentle sweetness and pining ache, but none of the dated damaging tropes or issues.  Yes, we’ve seen it all before, but this is me: I ADORE this shit. Who let my BL be this wholesome and funny? This show was fantastic, it’s only flaw was the singing (and that’s my baggage). My favorite GMMTV offering to date. 9/10 (could go as high as 9.5 on my more forgiving days) 

Bed Friend (Sat YT, GaGa & iQIYI uncut) ep 2 of 8 - I’m ending my week with this one these days. I feel like this is an EXCELLENT life decision. King’s pining is WBL levels of EPIC. Uea’s ma may be the worst ma in Thai BL (and that’s some stiff competition.) Ah getting tested together, such a right of passage. I like King a lot, his attitude, life philosophy, the way he looks an Uea, everything. This show is GREAT. 

Bed Friend extra sexy bits explained:

YouTube has the cut version with slightly less sexy content (this is what I’m mostly watching). 

GaGa ALSO has the cut version, BUT they have “extra clips” with the uncut content, you’ll need to find and watch them separately. 

iQIYI has the uncut version with the above mentioned extra sexy bits integrated back into the full episode.

Okay? 

Okay.

Moonlight Chicken (Weds YT) eps 5-6 of 8 - The break up btw Wen & Alan was really hard to watch, both actors are so good. Speaking of good actors, where did GeminiFourth come from? Seriously? I love these characters almost as a much as TinnGun. Heart’s parents are EVIL. Told ya they’d kiss as this couple bf TinnGun. Back of head wrap ‘Kiss’ tho, haven’t seen one of those from Thailand in ages. Old school. And then Khaotung just broadsides us with PAIN. This is such an aces show, but it is A LOT. 

Never Let Me Go (Tues YT) ep 11 of 12 - More cute BF intercut with agony. Holy role reversal dad butler! Otherwise a somewhat lackluster ep 11 of DOOM as dooms go, but I’m okay with that. 

Chains of Heart (Sat iQIYI) 1-2 of 10 - This is a suspense thriller about smugglers, amnesia, and lost love. Haii is good (and gorgeous) in the lead but the story is choppy, disjoined, and confusing. May be intentional, bad writing, or the captions being particularly bad (or all 3). It’s an interesting and different start. Not good but interesting. It reminds me a little of Manner of Death only with better action sequences. But I’m not sold on it because MoD had MaxTul, and this... does not. Ep 2 did not improve matters. When Ken & Lue flirt it’s fine and the Thai food bits were fun. (Kao Soi is one of my fav northern dishes, I’m sad he didn’t get to finish it.) At the funeral, why are they all texting when it can be traced and they could just be talking to each other? Honestly, everybody behaves like an idiot in this show. So I guess this is a revenge narrative? I’m so confused. They pretty tho, so I’ll keep watching because I am weak, but if you can wait, I think this is one that’s gonna be better as a binge. 

Our Winter (Thai & Korea YT & TikTok under ThaiMiniSeries) eps 1-7 of 14 - TutorYim microseries, told in vertical (TikTok) shorts. (Thanks to the BL spies for reporting in.) Cute Trope snippits but Korean is HARD to understand with a Thai accent. I’m not watching it with Eng subs and I’m not wild about this style short form but still - cute. Funny how they styled TutorYim so that they look slightly Korean - wardrobe and makeup wizardry. 

Hit Bite Love (Sat YT) ep 6 fin - Degrassi Junior BL concludes in a very soap opera way, with new characters and new/extra drama. Trigger warning on the original trigger. The investigating cop was super hot tho. Can we give him a BL? Also I liked the final scene makeup tons. But honestly what a total mess. I don’t know what i just watched and neither does it. 3/10 (sorry babies)  

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

HIStory 5: Love in the Future (Taiwan Weds Viki) ep 9 of 10 (or 17&18 of 20) - Kind of a filler ep and lackluster for a penultimate DOOM installment. But the HIStory franchise gets this way sometimes. 

Jack o’Frost (Japan GaGa) ep 2 of 6 - I’m finding it a bit dull. 

It’s Airing But ...

My Beautiful Man 2 (Viki & Gaga) - Because there are only 4 eps, I’m waiting to binge this.

Boyband ep 2 of 10 - Stopped airing on YouTube, and only available in Thailand & Japan. Not sure if they’re working a distribution deal or just fucking with us. 

Destiny Seeker (Tues WeTV ) 10 eps - it’s not on any WeTV I can get ahold of. Bad Buddy the pulp rebirth meets Japanese handsome host club action. FairyGodBLer came through for me, but I’m collecting to binge just in case. It’s my new policy with the grey stuff. 

Cafe In Love (Thai) 10 eps on Ch3+ - Thai pulp, about trying to save a coffee shop. Same as above. 

Gossip

Thailand’s famous gay pink milk comes to Oakland, CA, USA. This amuses me greatly. And yes, next time I’m in the area, I’ll probably try to hunt it down.  (What is Pink Milk?) 

Kim Ji Woong is doing fine on Produce 101 5 Boys Planet. I agree with the pundits that he’ll likely make it through. (Yes, I think he’s a better actor than idol, and yes, we will mostly lose him from BL if he goes all in with whatever group results from this.) But does that matter when Peak Time is also airing? No, because Peak Time is MUCH better and more interesting show and it has Karam (Happy Ending Romance) fucking KILLING IT. You all know I love Leo’s voice but clearly VIXX-euphoria distracted me, because I had no idea Karam was such a stable vocalist. He’s insane and it’s fun to watch a 2nd gen fucking SERVE it up (have you ANY idea how hard Mirotic is to do LIVE?). 

In case you missed it 

Viki has acquired the airing rights to Advance Bravely. We can’t expect it to be much altered, but at least it will be legally available, and one hopes the subs will improve.

Viki added The Eighth Sense to their upcoming KBL roster, new one to me. “A university romance about the confusion often felt by college youth regarding life and love.” 

KBL A Shoulder to Cry On AKA Comfort the Boy coming to Viki, March 13. (MUCH anticipated by me, this is a high school set hurt/comfort delayed by OMGEA X scandal.) This will be the first BL to star idols from the same group! Fingers crossed it’s good because this is a group that definitely needs BL’s support. 

Next Week Looks Like This:

02/28 = Tin Tam Jai (Thai Gaga & iQIYI) 10 eps - Adorable Tin has a life-long dream to marry an older boy in his neighborhood, Park. Same production co as Coffee Melody & Ai Long Nhai. I'll likely binge it.

03/01 = The Promise, (Thai WeTV) 10 eps - friends-to-lovers, follow up to a previously aired miniseries Phupha | Nanfah. Because of this and the WeTV platform I likely won’t bother.

03/02 = All the Liquors (Korea Gaga & Viki) 8 eps - Liquor company rep and party boy Han Ji Yu buts heads with hot chef Park Ki Hoon, who doesn't drink.

03/02 = Heesu In Class 2 (Korea unknown prob Viki and/or Gaga) - A gay(er) version of Sex Education. I’m still not sure this one is actually happening. 

03/03 = A Boss and a Babe (Thai YouTube) 12 eps - ForceBook in an office set boss/employee rom-com. 

03/04 = Love Syndrome (Thai unknown prob iQIYI or Gaga) 10 eps - trailer, violent, hot/cold, hurt/comfort, amnesia. (Stars Frank formerly of FrankDrake.)

Full list of upcoming in March 2023 is here. 

2023 forthcoming BL master post. (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED)

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

That tentative hand GOT me bad. 

I love it when a character call’s out another character’s main characteristics. Very meta. (Moonlight Chicken.) 

OMG hot cop! 

Make up game ON POINT. 

(Hit Bite Love.) 

SO GOOD. (Bed Friend) 

(last week)

Current Kpop(ish) earworm? SHAUN & Jeff Satur - Steal The Show, you should watch it ALL THE WAY to the end, just trust me. Have I ever led you astray?

No.

Don’t answer that.

Okies, here's my NaruHina Fair wrap-up bingo card 😭💝 The month went by way too quickly. THANK YOU everyone who participated for all the wonderful NaruHina fics and art and moodboards and other stuff!!! Even if it's not on this list, I enjoyed everything I saw and read 💖 I loved reflecting on NH Fair last year, and this Bingo card gave me a way to think more deeply about everyone's work again this year 🔎

This SHOULD NOT be opened in public *opens it anyway* - @iamdslr's nsfw art that she surprised us all with on discord 🔥🤯 absolutely gorgeous depiction of one of my fave positions 🙈 sorry tmi

Flooding this artist with tons of notifications - @shirii My fave was definitely the Evil AU!!! So cute, so evil. A perfect art to match madglow's "A New Dawn" fic! Also I love how saturated the colors are in shirii's art.

I've lost count to how many times I've seen/read this. AND I'LL DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN - "Cruel Angel" by @sessakag The horror and the smut is just soooo Sessakag-style. Like no one else could have possibly written this. Also I don't know who suggested "the world's ending and you're far from your love," but I thought the prompt sounded impossible, and you know what, Sessakag can write the impossible.

Had a bad day but seeing this made it better - "For Ruin and the World's Ending" by @badluckbrebis thank u for reposting this because it seems like I completely missed/forgot about this, it seemed new to me 😓 I love it so much, the description of their world is so vibrant, and yeah, an update from you makes life so much better 🥺💕 !!!

THIS IS WHAT TRUE LOVE LOOKS LIKE - @diyas-diaries-98 All of the short stories in "NaruHina Month 2023" are so cute and stars-in-their-eyes in love, but my fave is "Me in Your Eyes"!! The prompt is already a foundation for the fandom, but you took it to the next level in describing how they see each other🤩

THIS DESERVES TO BE SEEN BY ALL *shares work multiple times* - I have recommended @wickermayne's "Chicken Ramen for the Pervert's Soul" several times, and I will do it again!!! Actually I think "Hinata (Light Femdom)" is the first fic I read/commented on for you....anyway, I love, love, love it. Will always love it.

This is so silly. I LOVE IT! - "Things that Moan in the Night" is just....wow. honestly it was a toss-up between the cold shower and this bingo square, but in the end, it's a really fun smutty fic for me that's experimental in a way most smut fics aren't. I love the writing challenge of switching pov's, especially to 2nd pov.

It's not enough for me to see/read it. I NEED TO EAT IT TO BECOME A PART OF ME! - @lavvdil's "devouring you" for the beauty and the beast prompt!! Hinata's just gorgeous!! I would so love to write that kind of NaruHina, the Naruto who's so close to the demon itself, the Hinata who's so precious to the demon... reminds me of utsu's fic "Monster of the Tales". then @avbocetos's "Kiss the byakugan princess!" art is so, so lovely, the blank period/The Last NaruHina kiss is soooo passionate, and mmmmmm I want to write that so badly. That kind of heart-pounding kiss!

it's sooooo FLUFFY! - "My #1 Supporter" by shineofdawn, ohhh my gosh, so I'm already a sucker for pianist Hinata. But just the way shineofdawn was able to have Hinata's piano music be a support for badminton player Naruto, the connection is so wonderful 😭 and "Promise Rings" by @powerful-niya has gotta be the fluffiest thing Niya has ever written. It's sooo...ugh, love!!! They're in love and promising themselves to each other for forever and it's perfect!!!

FREE - @bornonthebreakofdawn's tanka for "Me in Your Eyes" prompt. I love born's poetry, but this one hit it out of the ballpark for me. In such few words, born touched on how sensitive Naruto must be in the way people look at him, and how different and special it must've been when he saw how Hinata looks at him. Something to ruminate on.

You've already left a kudos/like - @cherpring's "Marriage (Thai Culture)" art!!!! I love seeing NaruHina in different cultures, and then on top of that, this art has so many interesting details, the cushions (?), Naruto's pants, the flowers, their pins... I love their little blushes!!! Definitely one of my fave arts of this month.

I need a cold shower - "Another Baby" by Its_Levioooosaa got me invested, I loved how excited they were 😳 and "Dark Circles" by @bunny-hoodlum ahhhhhhh how exhausted but turned on Naruto was, like, yes, I love that energy!!!

IT WAS NOT FINE - What Is This Heartbreak in "Don't Deny Me" by Imanga 😭💔 "Oh, I can't handle angst" she says, "I don't know how you guys can read so much angst" she says. What a liar lol

OMG they replied to my comment!!! - So by far, the longest comment I left this month was for @nightowl27-writer's "Weird Hinata" because imo it was really just the tightest and most skillful writing all month. There was so much to analyze in every line, the relationship between them was so complex, nightowl developed their characters so well!!! I was so happy that nightowl read and replied to my comment 🙈

This fic is incomplete and I shall never rest again - "Free Day!" by @opttagoyeo was the one that got me in a chokehold. What does Kurama MEAN that Hinata might be one of them??? The other fics in "NH Month 2023" are great, too, but there's a little bit more of a closure for the "Red Strings of Fate" and "Time Travel." Priest!Naruto is like 2 more meetings away from seductress!Hinata pulling his pants down and giving him the time of his life, but also what is the mystery behind them??? I must know.

Why is this a one-shot? I need 6 seasons and a movie! - "A New Dawn" by madglow and "ready or not" by @secrettastemakerland, I am so impressed at how they crammed entire gigantic plots that could SERIOUSLY be 2 hour long movies into short fics. How. Just how did they do that. I'm left wanting more!! And also, I'm terribly jealous, like, I wish I could write my ideas that well. "A New Dawn" is the Akatsuki!NaruHina the fandom's been waiting for and "ready or not" AHHHH fox!Naruto!!!!! I just, love fox Naruto. So does Hinata.

How do I ask for an update without asking for an update? - Bunny!!!!! BunnyHoodlum wrote yoga!Hinata and yet another, new troubled!Naruto unlike one we've ever seen before in "Handsy" and I'm so in love with Bunny's writing ughhhhhhhhh, how Naruto is a yes man, how he's so all-over-the-place, and then Hinata, the good girl, rich girl, out-of-his-reach girl!!! This fic hits soo many things for me!

I am drowning in tears and may never recover - @golubhat's "Goodbye Naruto-kun..." art for war and love... you know NaruHina month had barely started, and golubhat just throws this at us from the get-go. That lost look in Naruto's eyes...jeez louise my gosh....the tears...the way he's gripping her head... on the flipside, my fave golubhat art this month was the Soviet high school students au!!!!!!, like, tell me more about that!!!!

11pm is a great time to start a 100k slow burn - I know Powerful_Niya's "Reckless Love" 2-shot probably isn't 100k, but it's definitely on the longer side of fics posted this month, and I did start reading it around 11:00. Anyway, delinquent!Naruto and angelic!Hinata are to-die-for in this fic. They are both down bad for each other and practically in denial about it!!

I don't think I'll be able to sleep well after that - @spaciousignatius posts NaruHina fanfics like...maaaybe once a year, and "Taken" is so terribly melancholy yet so worth the wait 😭 I love it and just hope that Naruto and/or Hinata somehow gets even against these military guys.

Wow, that might haunt me in my dreams - and I mean this in a good way. Just like born's tanka, @opal-chan's "Rage Room" got me thinking... on family, forgiveness, internalizing feelings versus externalization. Opal-chan does a fantastic job with portraying the Hyuuga clan in such a raw way.

#nhmonth2023 #there were so many other art and fics that I loved #but like I spent all day and night working on this #so I need to stop

Turtles Catches Up With Old GMMTV: A Tale of Thousand Stars Loving Rewatch Edition

[What’s going on here? After joining Tumblr and discovering Thai BLs through KinnPorsche in 2022, I began watching GMMTV’s new offerings -- and realized that I had a lot of history to catch up on, to appreciate the more recent works that I was delving into. From tropes to BL frameworks, what we’re watching now hails from somewhere, and I’m learning about Thai BL's history through what I’m calling the Old GMMTV Challenge (OGMMTVC). Starting with recommendations from @absolutebl on their post regarding how GMMTV is correcting for its mistakes with its shows today, I’ve made an expansive list to get me through a condensed history of essential/classic/significant Thai BLs produced by GMMTV and many other BL studios. My watchlist, pasted below, lists what I’ve watched and what’s upcoming, along with the reviews I’ve written so far. Today, I write about my LOVING rewatch of one of the best BLs out there, ever, in A Tale of Thousand Stars.]

While I’ve been in the midst of a plethora of awesome new shows (Only Friends, Dangerous Romance), I’ve also been treating myself with some oldies. I just wrapped up a rewatch of Until We Meet Again, to prep for New Siwaj’s Absolute Zero that’s coming out this fall. And one of the joys that I set for myself in the course of structuring the Old GMMTV Challenge was to allow myself some loving rewatches of shows that I originally first consumed out of any chronological order, and/or out of total curiosity for the amount of space they generally take up on a daily basis on Tumblr, and/or for the amount of times that I had seen these particular shows listed as top examples of genre-defining or genre-transcending BLs. Those shows include Bad Buddy (of course), and A Tale of Thousand Stars.

Way, WAY back in the day -- November 2022, to be exact -- just a couple months into my joining Tumblr and actively blogging, I realized that this show called Moonlight Chicken was being bandied about excitedly, mostly in part because EarthMix and FirstKhao were going to be in it. I was intrigued, excited to participate in my first active Tumblr fandom from beginning to end, and I asked the Tumblr gods -- oh hey, should I watch A Tale of Thousand Stars first, to get to know Earth Pirapat and Mix Sahaphap first? And the answer was YES, so I did, and I totally loved it.

And of course, I look back at that review from almost a year ago, and I giggle, because while I picked up on a lot of the raw elements that make ATOTS great, I didn't have ANY context for why the show was transcendent vis à vis pre-existing BL tropes in the Thai BL genre, what it meant to be watching a classic Backaof Noppharnach show, what it meant for the show to be set in Northern Thailand, etc. I even wrote -- oh wow, I see why some of the elders on Tumblr are saying that there are shows way better than KinnPorsche out there (LOL, oh, hindsight). I didn't have any of that context.

Now, I do. And during my recent ATOTS rewatch, I just ATE, ATE, ATE, oh my god, I just sat and fucking ENJOYED this FABULOUS drama. I was yelling and gesturing to the screen -- oh god, WHY are you SO GOOD, YOU SHOW, YOU?! Man, oh man. It was a shit-ton of fun to start rewatching dramas that I already have nostalgia for, even if I only saw them for the first time last year.

Besides rewatching some of these important dramas back in chronological order through the OGMMTVC, I also have a mission in mind: to properly rewatch ATOTS and Bad Buddy before rewatching Our Skyy 2, which I've been wanting to do for a while. That rewatch will take place after I rewatch Bad Buddy in a couple of weeks. And I'm glad I waited until I could consume Aof's entire oeuvre, because I think his whole slate of shows -- not just ATOTS and BBS -- give us clues as to what was happening by way of Pat and Pran's relationship in OS2 before their physical separation in BBS that further explain the ATOTS and BBS universes. But more on this in a few weeks, when I get to my BBS and OS2 reviews.

Back to ATOTS. As I rewatched it -- in the context of the OGMMTVC, and what I've learned about the Thai television BL genre NOW, what were the elements of this show that stood out the most for me?

1) The striking use of flashbacks to tell a story. I know NOW shows that haven't used flashbacks as well to tell a compelling narrative -- for me, most recently, the biggest example is Double Savage (and maybe even KinnPorsche goes up there, too). Before ATOTS premiered, I think the BL that used flashbacks the BEST in its narrative was Until We Meet Again, which *needed* flashbacks to tell the entire scope of its intricate story, from past to present.

Something that I forgot about ATOTS until my rewatch was how very PACED the show was. I think I had it in my head that it was a slow-ish story, because -- again, it bucked a lot of BL trends and tropes, just like He's Coming To Me also did. No side couples. No university setting. No warring faculties and uniforms. When I first wrote about ATOTS in December 2022 -- after having watched The Eclipse as my first GMMTV BL -- I marveled at the singular storyline of Tian's life change and journey. There was a LOT we needed to know about Tian to GET where he was going, and where he wanted to go. What I didn't appreciate back then was how Aof TOLD the story.

Sure -- it could have frustrated some folks that we didn't get the truth of who was driving the car until much later in the series. But that would be missing the point of that piece of truth. Tian had blamed himself for Torfun's death the second he learned about it. It didn't *quite* matter who was driving the car -- what mattered was the self-blame he assigned himself to, and the journey he thought he needed to take to absolve himself of the guilt that he carried.

The structure was beyond sharp, and just INCREDIBLY compelling. Between UWMA and ATOTS, we have two tremendous dramas that flirted with VERY risky past-to-future infrastructures, and both succeeded exceedingly well.

2) Phupha and Tian's TERRIBLE communication. I'm serious! Oh my god, y'all. Did we appreciate back then how AWFUL they are at communicating? HA! Our Skyy 2 obviously emphasized this even more -- Tian himself accuses Phupha of not being open enough to tell Tian why Phupha won't meet Tian's parents.

But, holy shit, these two guys are such drama bastards. By episode 9, I had to write in my notes, in all caps: THESE ASSHOLES ARE SUCH AWFUL COMMUNICATORS. If one person wasn't angry at the other, and avoiding the other person, then something was off in their world. Tian's titchyness, Phupha's avoidance, played against each other like opposing magnets.

And yet: of course, we know WHY they are bad communicators. We know that Phupha grew up in a traditional, rural household -- one that likely wasn't welcoming to his inner truth as a queer man.

Tian grew up in a privileged and patriarchal household that disguised itself as a matriarchal household. Now THAT shit's confusing. What Tian was to do with his life, as assigned by his parents, supposedly came from his mom -- but it was his dad that enforced those rules. Who could Tian go to to talk about his own growing inner truth as well? Not to either of his parents, who both had designs on who *exactly* Tian should be by way of their own demands and outward-facing lives.

So these two men -- both of whom barely had any practice in expressing their inner truths, their raw feelings about themselves, their life situations, and each other -- are figuring out their emotional shit vis à vis each other, for the first time in their lives. And what we get, gloriously, is a whole bunch of damn hilarious drama that left me shaking my head and laughing a bunch. They were SO passive-aggressive with each other, I had to applaud EarthMix.

And through their bad communication came so many resolutions to each storyline -- the illegal merchants, the revelation of Torfun's death and the story behind it -- that what we ultimately got to see were life-defining moments for both Tian and Phupha of utter growth. The trade-off between those dramatic anguishes and the TRUE drama of the show itself -- was well worth it, and brilliantly done.

3) The metaphor of freedom. We know, now, that Bad Buddy was existing in the same world as ATOTS.

God, I LOVE what Aof pulled in Our Skyy 2 by way of the Nong Nao eye mask (Tian even wears the Nong Nao eye mask!) -- because in rewatching ATOTS, I would have NEVER clocked that Tian was talking about his own freedom through his OWN eye mask.

We know now that Tian and Pran, in their respective shows, were on their own paths to freedom -- both from demanding families that demanded that each of them comport to absolute idealistic images of what perfect sons DID in those family structures. Both Tian and Pran have overbearing mothers with complicit fathers who demand exacting obedience. And both Tian and Pran ultimately sought freedom from that pressure.

In episode 9, I clocked a message on Tian's tote bag -- I can't get a clear-enough screenshot of it (it's in the 3/4 segment), but the tote bag says, "what is the meaning of free?" All of ATOTS is based on Tian's journey to emotional freedom -- freedom from his parents' expectations, freedom from the guilt he carries from Torfun's death.

An interesting comparison to UWMA happens in episode 5, when Tian asks about his growing feelings towards Phupha: "I don't know if these feelings are mine or Torfun's." And, of course -- combine that with what Tian needs to reckon with at the cliff in episode 9, when Tian is struggling with figuring how who's life he's truly living. As Tian separates himself from his parents -- as Tian understands his needs vs. Torfun's needs -- what Tian's struggle ultimately comes down to is, who is he really living his life for? Torfun saved him, his parents bought him the transplant -- but what does that actually mean for the meaning that Tian brings to his own life, and to the lives of others, including Phupha?

What Tian ultimately realizes is that needs freedom from the influence of everyone and everything around him to gain clarity as to who HE truly is. That, to me, is the ultimate core message of ATOTS -- it is Tian's defining journey towards the freedom that only he himself can find, vis à vis Torfun, Phupha, and Pha Pun Dao.

But because Aof is so good at wrenching our hearts with every last bit of energy he’s got: he showed us that Tian was able to come to this conclusion, ultimately, through Phupha, and Phupha's love for Tian.

ATOTS is a wonderful coming-of-age story, but without the typical cheesiness that that structure can often bring. It's a story of individual and internal change that we know gets echoed, expanded, and transformed in Bad Buddy through Pran. I see now that ATOTS and Bad Buddy are Aof's deep studies of internal maturing, both told through queer revelations, through empathic love with a rock-solid partner, and through fights against oppressive societal and familial resistances to living one's full truth.

Way, way back when -- and thank goodness for the OGMMTVC for allowing me to dive into this -- Aof depicted queer men living their very robust truths in Gay OK Bangkok. As I wrote in my GOKB review, what happened after the premiere of GOKB is that Aof went to the BL genre to begin slowly changing it, to make the genre a true home for real queer revelation and introspection. Did he ever nail it in ATOTS. Did he ever expand it in BBS. Watching ATOTS felt like coming home, because once again (as in HCTM) -- Aof defied typical expectations of the genre to get honest about what an internal reality of being queer could really be like. And to do that in Thai television BL, with all the tropes and expectations the genre had created by the time of ATOTS's airing in 2021, was remarkable.

Hearing the theme song, seeing Pha Pun Dao and the villagers (AND THE CHILDREN! I LOVE THOSE CHILDREN!), seeing the schoolhouse, seeing Earth in his forest ranger uniform, hearing the original source of the forest ranger t-shirt joke, seeing Rang and Yod again -- man, was it ever nostalgic to rewatch ATOTS, even after having seen the guys in Our Skyy 2. This show is SUCH a classic, SUCH a must-watch of the very highest order, and the fact that it does NOT shy away from a very real and difficult emotional journey is only just a part of what makes it one of the enduring diamonds of Thai BL.

[We'll return to Pha Pun Dao in a couple weeks once I get through my Bad Buddy and Our Skyy 2 rewatches -- stay tuned!

In the meantime, my review of Lovely Writer is on deck for next week. By far this is my favorite Tee Bundit drama. For the sake of my fellow drama clowns, I am giving I Feel You Linger in the Air a shot, but the editing choices are giving me slight Step By Step-PTSD. I'm gonna keep a close eye on this one.

But Lovely Writer is Tee's anomaly, and what a fabulously genius anomaly it is. I can't wait to get into it, and if you loved it, too, and you have NOT watched the Lovely Writer special episode, PLEASE watch the special ep, as I'll be referring to it -- it has a super important conclusion that wraps up the entire series beautifully.

A heads-up that I may need to take a week's break or so in early September.... hopefully I won't, but I am moving, so while I'm ahead on a few dramas, getting pen to paper has proven difficult by way of time. Hopefully this project won't be delayed too much -- but send me your best big ups nonetheless as I move domiciles!

In the meantime, here's the list -- as always, I welcome your feedback! (Tumblr's new web editor is jacking with the list below and not allowing me to strikethrough the shows I've watched. For the very latest updated list, please click here!)

[whentherewerebicycles]

read outside for a while yesterday wrapped up in a blanket and it was so nice 😭 it’s slowly staying light until later and we are just three weeks away from 7pm sunsets. I slept pretty well last night—I can’t sleep on my back for long anymore without getting uncomfortable but the nice part about sleeping curled up on my side is that I can feel him kicking very gently through the night. I woke up from a dream at 3am and just lay there for a long time with my hand on my stomach feeling him shifting around. I love him I love him I love him! my little guy! I wasn’t expecting to like being pregnant this much. first trimester was uh lightly traumatic what will all the uhh light trauma around ultrasounds/waiting, but the second trimester has been pretty joyful especially since I started feeling him move. I think I am also very lucky to have had virtually no unpleasant pregnancy symptoms thus far apart from rapid weight gain… crossing my fingers that I get to ride this wave of feeling pretty normal in my body for a while longer!!

today can be another wonderfully relaxed day… god I love a long weekend. I am reading fic in bed now but I think I’ll try to make myself go for an early dog walk to get it over with lol. or maybe split it into two 30 min walks so it doesn’t feel so long. I might go to a coffee shop to write for a couple hours too we’ll see… then hockey at 3 + delicious Indian takeout with liz and alex tonight. ooh and I should cook this Thai basil chicken for lunch because if I don’t I know I’ll end up letting the chicken go bad again oops.

Tofu and Eggplant Thai-style Curry Soup

(adapted from Williams-Sonoma Soup of the Day)

1 lb extra-firm tofu (one package is okay, as long as it’s reasonably close to a pound)

2-3 Tbsp olive oil (or butter, whatever cooking fat you like)

1 small yellow onion, diced

1 large or 2 small eggplants, diced

1 red bell pepper or 10-12 shishito peppers, diced

2 cans light coconut milk (14.5 oz each)

1-4 Tbsp Thai red curry paste, to your taste

1-2 Tbsp lime juice, to your taste

1 Tbsp Asian fish sauce (no fish sauce, or you’re vegetarian? soy sauce or coconut aminos will work. Even Worchestershire sauce (not vegetarian usually) will add the umami we’re looking for here)

½ c veggie or chicken broth

Sliced tomatoes and minced fresh basil for garnish, optional, and brown rice for serving, optional

Get the tofu out of its packaging and slice it in half crosswise, so you have two 1”-thick slabs of tofu. Wrap the tofu in paper towels, set it on a large plate, and set another large plate on top. Put a heavy can or something weighty like that on top, and let the tofu drain while you do the rest of the prep.

Heat the olive oil or whatever fat you’re using in a large pot. Add the onions and saute for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add the eggplant and peppers and cook another 7-10 minutes, until also softened. Scrape the whole veggie mixture into a bowl and hold in reserve.

Add the curry paste to the pot. Pour in the coconut milk, broth, lime juice, and fish sauce, and stir well to combine. Bring to a low boil, and reduce to a lively simmer. Taste to see if you need more curry paste or other flavor enhancers (see below).

Simmer for about five minutes to thicken slightly and let the flavors blend, then add the veggie mixture back to the pot. Bring back up to a simmer, and cook another ten minutes.

Dice the tofu, and add it near the end of cooking time. Simmer another 2-3 minutes to heat the tofu through.

If desired, spoon some brown rice into the bottom of your bowl, then top with the soup. Garnish with sliced tomatoes and a generous sprinkle of minced fresh basil.

Serves 4.

— What if you’ve added the curry paste and fish sauce and the soup doesn’t have enough oomph, but you don’t want to add more salt? Try any of the following: a tablespoon of tomato paste, a tablespoon or two of tomato powder, or a tablespoon or two of mushroom powder.

— What if the salt balance and general savoriness seems right, but it seems to lack a little depth? Try a teaspoon or two of brown sugar.

— As a note, I’ve only made this once. I think the tofu would benefit from a dusting of flour (gf is fine) and a quick saute in a skillet before being added to the soup, just for that extra chewy texture. But in terms of getting it on the table fast, this is totally optional and basically just gold-plating.

Hey I'm the same anon who asked if you do reactions and imagines, so I hope these are okay

- What's a special dish that they'd cook for their partner?

- What's something they'd look for in their ideal type? (Personality, body feature etc.)

So, the first one was a bit hard (took me a bit) so I hope you all like it. As for the second one, I'll answer it in a separate post!

Spicy Catfish Soup

This popped in my head from an interview he had done. I feel like he'd make a big deal out of it, shooing you from the shared home to go and catch the fish before making the soup, wanting it to be perfect before you came home. When you did, he would be smiling the whole time while you stared at the soup in awe, then be proud when he told you he actually caught the fish. Expect this for an anniversary or birthday dinner.

MARK

Family Feast

OK, hear me out. I feel like he would invite you over to meet his family while he helped his family cook meals. He would watch as you played with his nieces and nephews and other family members as he helped grill. Then once everything is done, he'd pursued you to eat with him outside under the stars as you'd both eat in silence and enjoy each other's company before he offered dessert. You both would try to make Bingsu from scratch, laughing along the way.

JACKSON

Dumplings

During his first Chinese new year with you, he'd make it a full-day affair to make the food, especially the dumplings. You'd both make the fillings and have a contest to see who could make the dumplings look the best and who could make the most in a short amount of time. He would sometimes wrap his arms around you and help you pleat the dumplings to help you win. If you wanted it spicy, though, you'd be on your own as he would stand at the complete opposite side of the counter as far away from you as possible ("I'll support you baby...from over here!) He'd also in the morning make you one of his smoothies, making sure to not add chicken breast.

JINYOUNG

 Japchae: Glass Noodle Stir Fry

You had a bit of a green thumb so when you got sad one day and said you were really craving noodles, he decided to make you this. He would go outside in the rain and gather the ingredients and make it for you, wrapping you in the warm burrito blanket and placed you in front of the tv before presenting the food to you. He'll especially do this on your birthday or when you're really sad.

YOUNGJAE

Ramen

I have this slight sneaking suspicion that he isn't the best cook, so when you came home late from work and were soaked from rain, he thought to make something simple and opted to make you some spicy ramen. He placed you on the couch as he insisted that he had it, cooking the ramen the way he had observed you do for him so many times, then offered it to you. He would rub your shoulder and comfort you before washing your bowl and cuddling with you as you ranted about your day or just fell asleep.

BAMBAM

Anything Thai

I wasn't going to put BB into a boundary because he would make whatever you want based on how you felt in the moment. If it was your birthday and you wanted something hot he'd make you Kuay Tiew Mu Tom Yum. If you hated the heat outside and had sat through a day of some...particular activities (hehe sexy time), he'd make you Thai Pomelo Salad.

YUGYEOM

Pizza

He'd definitely be the one to make a pizza-making date night. I decided to go the international food route with him. He'd try and toss the pizza like he had watched on YouTube before he ended up hitting his ceiling and blushing at your laughter. His dog would also be trying to steal some toppings he had laid out on the counter, Yugyeom laughing as he pushed back the pepperoni. Similar to Jackson, he'd wrap his arms around you and help you make the pizza just the way you both wanted it.

Easy Campfire Cooking Recipes to Ignite Your Taste Buds

If you’re the slightest bit like many people, when you hear the phrase campfire cooking, the first thing you’ll think of is “roughing it” and “living off the land” like the old days. Well, while eating wild berries, fishing for trout with a knife, and eating certain bugs was a true survival method that worked and kept many people alive and fed, we are leaps and bound away from those ancient campfire meals. We’re even beyond the can of baked beans and hot dogs and marshmallows on sticks! As hard as it may be to believe about campfire cooking, you can now eat like royalty cooking with fire from your own backyard! 

The best part about eating like royalty is that it doesn’t require much prep and the meals are easy to make. Depending on what you’re making, some of these meals are packed with way more flavor than cooking traditionally on the stove. If you’re ready to wow guests with different foods cooked over a fire, take a look at these easy-to-make campfire cooking recipes. 

Flaming Tequila Pig Shots 

If you thought pigs in a blanket were good eating, you haven’t experienced the flavor punch of flaming tequila pig shots! For this recipe, you’re taking pre-cooked sausage (kielbasa or andouille), wrapping it in thick-cut bacon, adding cream cheese to the top, and then incorporating the flambé technique with your tequila of choice (flambé is completely optional but makes a pretty cool effect when serving!  

Tip: When wrapping the bacon around the sausage, you can use a toothpick to hold the bacon so it doesn’t come apart when cooking. Once you have your pig shots all prepared, you can throw them on the grill and cook until the bacon is fully cooked 

Here’s the full recipe for Flaming Tequila Pig Shots. 

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sticky Ribs 

Who would’ve thought that peanut butter and jelly could go in anything other than bread! Well, now’s the time to brace yourself because this American classic is going rogue; and by a rogue, we mean ribs! 

For this meal, you’re going to be using baby back ribs. You’ll want to pull the membrane from the back and then slice each rib and thoroughly season them with your favorite barbecue seasoning. Once you have your meat seasoned, you can then get started on your PB&J sauce (peanut butter, jelly, black garlic sauce, Thai chili sauce, ketchup, and soy sauce). You’ll mix the ingredients, and cook in a skillet or pot over the fire until warm and thickened. From there, you’ll go through the process of smoking the ribs, and then frying them. Once the ribs are fully cooked, toss in your PB&J sauce and serve! 

Here’s the full recipe for Peanut Butter and Jelly Sticky Ribs. 

Smoked Nashville Hot Chicken Queso 

Nashville hot chicken is already a flavorful signature meal, but when you combine the spicy red chicken with melty cheeses, topped with jalapenos and pickles, your tongue is in for a real treat! To get started with this recipe, you’ll want to make a brine of pickle juice and hot sauce for the chicken thighs to soak in for a few hours. After the chicken has marinated, season the boneless chicken thighs with a Nashville hot chicken seasoning blend of your choice. 

Before you smoke your chicken, you want to also get a fire-safe skillet and combine Velveeta and cream cheese, and then add Monterey Jack and sharp cheddar to build layers of flavor. Put your chicken and skillet of cheese in the smoker. After 30 minutes, give the queso a quick stir to make sure it’s all melting evenly. Once the chicken is done, shred it and add it to the queso, and mix. Once thoroughly mixed, you can then add the pickles and jalapenos to the top. 

Here’s the full recipe for Smoked Nashville Hot Chicken Queso.

I’ve always had tendencies I just started doing it properly mid 2020

Yes, i was dragged to a pediatrician and it was hell

Ana, I never had binge tendencies when i was properly starving 

Almond milk, cappuccinos, black coffee, (prefferably warm) watermelon 5 gum, Tea, low cal yoghurt, berries, cottage cheese. not much else 

I wanna get back down to 40 - 43 but for now i’m focusing on 45. currently sitting at 50 - 51

Forced recovery

Pasta, White breads, Walnuts, Sweets, Pizza, Tahini, Oil, Pastry’s, Pad Thai, Wraps, Any milk that’s not almond, Macadamia nuts, Trail mix, Bars, “Protein” or “Gym snacks”, Liquids over 50 cals - besides chocolate milk, obvi, that shits the nectar of the Gods

When we went into lock down my weight dropped and i changed my diet to eating a little in the morning and a little at night and it broke my plateau, so i guess variety helps keep things moving

BOSS coffee. It’s just a branded, canned iced coffee. I get the middle one cause it’s the perfect balance of sweet but still tastes like coffee, I have a literal shrine shelf that’s just crammed with empty cans.

last time i checked 159 cm

40.1

We were vegan for a bit then vegetarian now my parents are keto and its kinda annoying cause they dont shut up about diet, but i know they're just trying to educate me and include me and that its coming from a good place. Personally i don’t have meat often and if i do its a little chicken or mum does something with fish. She’s a great cook btw so it’s hard sometimes lmao

I don’t really count rn but im starting next week with a new diet

Either at school so i don't have to worry or i chew gum at an excessive amount cause it’s not really food, just taste and the action of chewing is calming.

All day then i eat dinner
