Armand's podcast chiarobscuro on obscure art history is just him speaking in a monotone for 1 hour about 1 page of 1 illuminated manuscript nd it's coincidentally number 1 trending on pods because people use it as a sleep aid. but then sometimes in the middle of it he'll say something incredibly disturbing and a cult (haha.) following starts claiming there are hidden subliminals in it which are allegations Armand never acknowledges and which people on twitter roast but reality shifters on tik tok get increasingly into. Daniels podcast by/line is beat out consistently by pod save America which is totally fine and not contributing to his alcoholism or his divorce or his psychosexual obsession with armand. he won't listen to armands podcast as a point of principle except for when he puts it on to fall asleep and then gets weirdly turned on and then pavlovs himself into arousal every time he hears armands voice. one sided psychological torture. Armand's cult (haha.) following continues to grow until lestat's podcast lestat (self-titled) filed in culture & the arts blows up and usurps him even though its an hour and a half one-man monologue about quite genuinely nothing at all, though worryingly often, his mother. and Louis? well Louis isnt privy to any of this because he has a child to raise and zones out whenever lestat starts talking about renting out a bigger recording studio for his podcast so that he can have guests on and invest in sound equipment FOR CLAUDIAS FUTURE, OF COURSE. her college fund Louis! the dividends will go toward her college fund. ahaha. what is the definition of this: dividends. Louis gets curious and listens to lestats podcast but gets distracted by recommended for you: chiarobscuro, finds it interesting enough that he doesn't fall asleep, and mentions it offhandedly to lestat after telling him lestat (self-titled) is cute. lestat is distracted by the high of being told Louis likes his podcast but wakes up in the middle of the night sitting straight up in bed when he remembers Louis said "chiarobscuro" in passing at precisely 7:46am this morning. lestat who has armand in his phone represented by the 🕴🏼emoji from college (Louis doesnt know he knows him, lestat has never once mentioned him) calls him from the bathroom at 4am and demands he immediately end his podcasting career. armand who of course answered at 4am counters that they meet in a neutral location to discuss terms. at 5am lestat and armand meet at a park. lestat rages, scaring off several sunrise joggers and their dogs. armand allows this to happen in silence and then says look across the pond. at which point lestat does and sees a bedraggled 50 year old white man plodding along with bodega coffee. you needn't worry about your Louis, says armand. I have a different project. I have been implanting subliminal messages in my podcasts in order to lure Molloy into my thrall. lestat, grudgingly impressed, concedes and stops to get coffee for the family before going back home. Louis and claudia are delighted by the impromptu breakfast and lestat is offered a special shower time reward. before disrobing, and working quickly, he hacks Louis' phone (passcode claudia's birthday) and in a fit of true selfless sacrifice deletes not just Louis' subscription to chiarobscuro, but his podcast app as a whole--damning his own podcast to never again be heard by Louis but removing armand permanently from their lives forever. he joins Louis in the shower, stunned by his own genius. perhaps he will have that worm molloy on his show in order to thwart armands plans. lestat 2 armand 0. it's almost enough to ease the burn of armand telling lestat in their audio production class in college that he's too dumb to start a podcast

Hi! ~ What do you think how ateez reacts watching EXILE HER kissing/bed scene in her first ever acting project 🤭😂

ATEEZ REACTS TO YOUR KISSING SCENE IN A DRAMA ... reaction ( 18+ )

pairing : idol!ateez x idol!f!reader

genre : bullet-point style, reaction, exile her au, idol au, comedy, fluff, kind of spicy (but nothing really happens, just implied)

word count : 2k

warnings : some language, mentions of making-out / intimate scenes / fake blood (these are all alluded to in the drama)

note : tried to keep the members all at the same length lol. also, i made this her second acting project which i will make a post about at a later date, so just a heads up lol

honorary tag : @sanjoongie

context on drama: it trended on different platforms for being a number of reasons but one of them is because of the intimate scenes that are in it between you and your co-star, park jihoon. this is ateez's reactions when they watch it and see all those different scenes.

HONGJOONG

hongjoong was caught off-guard immediately with the first scene in the FIRST episode

man was SHOOK with how you and your co-star were making out, camera zooming in on you both as you kiss and then panning as jihoon's hands trailed down your body

he was getting flashbacks to when you make-out and he does the exact same things

so of course he ended up imagining himself in the scene with you

what it would be like to shoot something like this with you

by the end of the scene he was completely jealous of your co-star because he wanted to do something like this with you

like the image of you kissing would be burned into his eyelids and he HATED IT

def didn't help how excited you were to watch your drama with him and others

mainly because you knew these scenes were here and when he turned to look at you at some point during the episode

he found you already staring at him, like you were watching his reactions

and he immediately regrets agreeing to watch it with you because he knows you were enjoying watching him suffer like this

so he tried to hide his jealousy at times but he couldn't help but get absorbed into the story of your character

so then by the end of it, he found himself more intrigued than jealous

but we all know he was still jealous at least on the inside

SEONGHWA

when you told seonghwa that this drama would be more mature he thought it meant something in the sense of gore and action

which it had that but he was completely caught off guard with some of more intense scenes

and not to mention the ones where you and your co-star were a little too intimate for him not to feel at least a little jealous

but seonghwa had to remind himself that it was all fake and that you were cuddled up next to him in his bed

he had promised to watch it with you when him and the others finished their tour and as hard as it was to avoid the drama

he managed to do it, completely avoiding any and everything about it

even when the other members watched it, he would ignore them when they talked about

and honestly, the really intimate scenes didn't get to him as much as the softer moments did

when you would caress and hold jihoon close to you or when you would kiss him

and especially during the "high school flashbacks" would get him the most he would feel both jealous AND emotional because of how heartbreaking they were

at one point you would look over to seonghwa tearing up at some of the softer moments

"its just so heartbreaking" he would say when you ask him what was wrong before fulling crying and having you instantly comfort him

YUNHO

he was immediately interested when he seen your drama trending on different social media

what also caught his eye was clips about one scene floating around on tiktok and twitter

a lot of people calling it "the bathroom scene" which only got him more curious

so when he was doing nothing but laying in bed one night after a concert, he remembered how everyone had been going crazy over the scene

and curiosity got the better of him and he watched just that scene

which... probably wasn't greatest idea but it was whatever he told himself

he would watch this 'infamous' scene now and then the rest of it later with one of the others or even with you

so he watched the scene and immediately felt a swing of different emotions

from how turned on he was because of how you looked extremely hot covered in blood and angry

to feeling uneasy when he watched you caress your co-star like how you would him or one of the others

to jealous when it then lead to you and your co-star making out and jihoon basically grinding against you and how you made those sounds that were only reserved for him and your other lovers

and then finally he came to regret the whole thing having let his curiosity get the better of him

and so when he finally sat down and watched it with mingi, he felt all those emotions come at him once more

YEOSANG

if yeosang felt jealous then he was really good at hiding it

he remembers you telling him and others about how this drama was on the more... mature side

which he didn't mind, he knew that it was something you were excited about and it was an opportunity for you career

so why wouldn't he be supportive of it?

annnnnnnnnnnnd then the drama came out and it was the internet exploded

he was seeing how fans were reacting to it and it only made him curious about it

even atiny were asking him about it and what he thought when he would go live

"have i watched y/nnie's drama? not yet but i've seen people talk about it. is it good?" he would ask and watch the comments flood with mix things

the usual yes and no comments: "watch it! its really good!!" "some scenes are hard to watch ngl..."

and then there were the ones that caught his eye: "you'll get jealous if you watch it."

"why would i be jealous?"

and then they would say: "y/n and jihoon are too sexy in some of it."

which obviously made him more curious about it and so he decided to watch it

and as he watched he couldn't help but feel something as he watched you and co-star kiss repeatedly, each one getting more and more heated than the last one

and then he finished it.

so... if kang yeosang was jealous then he was really really good at hiding it

SAN

san was excited for you when you told him and others about your new drama

so he was prepared to watch it when it came out because he wanted to be a supportive boyfriend

he remembers asking atiny about the drama during a live right after it was released

and like yeosang the comments came in and were mixed with all sorts of things

a lot of atiny telling him it was good but some scenes were very mature and some just outright telling him not to watch because of those mature things

and then he ended up watching it anyways with wooyoung one night while on tour

and he was definitely jealous about jihoon, your co-star

was shocked at how intimate the two of you would be in some scenes

he remembers actually gasping at one scene because your whole back was on display to the camera and while he knew you were actually fully naked – it still took him by surprise

also like seonghwa some of the softer scenes would hit hard and reminded him and you two when he would hold you or when you would hold him

after he finished it, he went on live the next day and brought it up

"i finished y/n's drama last night," he began remembering all the scenes that stood out to him the most

he tried his best to contain his jealousy, not wanting to show it camera

"i liked it a lot, definitely not something i would have imagined y/n in," he adds trying to remain calm as the image of your naked back flashed into his mind "but i think she did a really good job in it"

MINGI

this man was SCANDALIZED

he was so shocked throughout the entire thing as him and yunho watched

yunho even threatened to turn it off at one point if he kept gasping at every scene

"i can't help it! its just so interesting!" he would say, defending himself

and then the bathroom scene happened and he was FLOORED like he was so shocked by the whole thing

mingi was so invested into the story that he didn't even have time to think about being jealous

however when him and yunho were taking a break between episodes that's when he noticed yunho was getting jealous

and of course mingi used that to tease yunho because the rapper knew how much the dancer was whipped for you

and then after they finished the drama mingi was so heartbroken because it was over

he ended up watching it again by himself at a few months later

and it was during the re-watch that he was noticing things happening in the story and how like a lot of the others, your intimate moments reminded him of you two

but again, mingi wouldn't be jealous because he knew that you loved him and the others

and even with fans shipping you and your co-star, mingi knew that he didn't have to worry about your feelings

anyways, mingi best boy

WOOYOUNG

despite how he acts most of the time

wooyoung doesn’t get easily jealous

at least in a serious way

he’s confident in his relationship and knows that he has nothing to ever worry about

especially when it comes to you or the others acting in a drama that involves romance

so when he heard about the intimate scenes in your newest drama, wooyoung was immediately interested in it

and so when him and some of the others watched it together one night... to say he wasn't surprised would be a lie

but to say he wasn't turned on by some of the scenes would also be a lie

he thought you looked hot, plain and simple

and watching you show a bunch of different emotions on camera, well... it kind of turned him on

some of the scenes were definitely more intense than what he was expecting

but then when it got intimate or slightly romantic between you and jihoon then that's when it made his stomach do all sort of flips

like hongjoong he found himself imagining him in your co-star's place and thinking back to all the times you two would be intimate

it honestly kind of made him miss you more than he already did and he would end up calling you so he could see you outside of your drama

after he finished, he would go and brag about how his "best friend was a famous actress" and talking about how he loved the drama

he also kind of just... rubbing it in that he was close to you while others weren't

you know, just wooyoung things

even telling atiny to watch it (if they were old enough)

JONGHO

jongho had heard all about the drama like yunho had

so he was aware of some of the scenes the drama had to offer

but unlike yunho, he didn't watch those specific clips before the whole and instead experienced them all together

and jongho wasn't jealous per say, but he was shocked at some of the scenes

he was honestly glad he decided to watch the drama by himself because he found himself flustered at most if not all the intimate scenes that were shown

just like hongjoong and wooyoung, jongho would also imagine himself in those scenes with you

but not because he was jealous of your co-star

BUT because watching those scenes made him miss you while him and the others were on tour

HOWEVER

seeing how popularly it was and how loved you and jihoon were becoming to the internet

it wasn't the scenes in the drama that would necessarily make him jealous but the interview you and your co-star would do

seeing fans go crazy over the two of you like you were an actual couple... it made him feel weird inside

so you best believe that when he sees you again, you're gonna have the giant teddy bear cuddling up with you

and of course you wouldn't question his sudden need for cuddles and affection, only giving it to him

Finwëan Popularity Taxonomy

This isn’t about the extent of popularity different Finwëans have during the Ages of Trees, it’s about the type of popularity. Who is the most popular depends entirely on the lens you’re using. (Headcanon entirely, vibes entirely, no canon basis.)

Finrod: Finrod is the kid at school who found you crying in the bathroom and stayed and listened to you and bought you lunch and you went outside to sit on the grass together and just talk, and suddenly your bad day was a good day. Finrod is the kid where everyone at school either has a story like that or has a friend who has a story like that. He’s not the star or the trend-setter, but everybody likes him.

Fingon: Fingon has high-school-football-star-who’s-actually-nice vibes. Effortlessly popular. The kind of guy that, one time he smiles at you and says something nice and you’re giddy for a week.

Maglor: Maglor is not operating on a high-school level. Maglor is rock star popular. Maglor is Taylor Swift popular. Maglor has a fandom that includes a large fraction of Valinor.

Fëanor: Fëanor is Elon Musk (pre-Twitter-purchase) popular (not saying anything in terms of his personal similarity to Musk, just the type of popularity): has incredibly passionate fans who think he’s the answer to all the world’s problems, and equally passionate detractors. As a bonus, after the First Kinslaying he has post-Twitter-purchase Elon Musk popularity: passionate fans fewer and more unhinged; less unhinged fans beginning to question; detractors more numerous. After Losgar, doubts spread even among his own followers.

Fingolfin: After becoming acting ruler of the Noldor, is Jed Bartlet (The West Wing) popular. If you asked people for their favourite Finwëan, most wouldn’t name him, but he’s got the respect earned by a leader who does his job well and makes peoples’ lives simpler, and if you suggest replacing him with someone else you’ll rapidly find out how much people don’t want that.

(Turgon in Middle-earth is the most similar to his father. Turgon is mayor-you-like popular. Everyone’s met him; if you raise an issue with him, it will be addressed or you’ll end up with a new perspective on it. Or both. Gondolin is excellently administered. Gondolin does not have potholes.)

Sticky Club

Older Eddie Munson x fem!reader

A/N: Look at me pumping out two fics within like a day and a half. Be proud of me. I decided to try out the Older Eddie hype since I've seen these fics everywhere lately. I hope I did the whole trend justice. It's a little short, but I didn't want to write a huge fic and just wanted to get straight into the shit y'all wanna read anyway.

Side Note: I deleted this cause I wasn't super proud of it at first, but I'm reposting this because I feel like it definitely could've done better than it did. Not to be cocky or anything.

Credit to @patrick-stewart for the gif!

Warnings: SMUT 18+!! MINORS FUCK OFF! Porn with a little bit of plot. Not much plot in this. (kissing, dirty talk, sort of rough eddie, fingering, nipple play, public sex (club bathroom), dirty club dancing, unprotected p in v sex, doggy style rough fucking, loud reader, giving of hickeys.) Older Eddie Munson (early 30's), Younger reader (mid 20's), language. No use of Y/N. Strange guy tried to grind up against reader on the dance floor. I think that's it. As always, let me me know and I'll fix it!

______________________________________________________________

You were kind of a hermit. You didn’t like to go out much and parties just weren’t your scene. You obviously went out occasionally, but it was probably once a month if that. It’s not that you hated people, you were just focused on your college work and trying to keep up good grades. Your best friends Robin, Nancy, and Steve were avid party goers. They always tried to get you to go out with them, but being the youngest of the group and the only one still in school, there just wasn’t much free time to go out with them. Tonight was different though. It was the end of the semester and all grades were final so you could finally let loose a little. Your friends were taking you out to a concert. It was for a band you hadn’t heard of before, but they said it was an old friend they all had from high school.

“Girl, you look great, don’t even.” Nancy looked at you and smiled. You were wearing an outfit you usually didn’t. Most of your outfits consisted of jeans and sweatshirts, not short tight skirts and tank tops like this. You frowned and looked at yourself in the mirror again.

“You sure?” You pulled the skirt down a little. “Seems a little… skimpy.”

“Trust me, you will be getting laid tonight wearing that. Trust me.” Robin announced, barging in the room uninvited. She looked you up and down and gave you a thumbs up. “You ready? Steve and I are ready to leave.” Nancy nodded and pulled her shoes on before walking out. You sighed and followed the two girls out.

You got to the club the band was performing at and noticed it was packed. There were huge groups of people everywhere. Girls wearing tight band tees and skirts that pretty much showed their whole ass. It smelled like sweat and vodka. Kinda made you gag a little, but you toughed through it. Nancy led you over to the bar to order drinks for everyone while Steve and Robin claimed a booth. You two walked back with the drinks and you slid in the booth next to Robin. You were all talking when a tall man with long brown curly hair, a guitar strapped across her shoulder, and had a t-shirt of the band on it.

“Eddie!” Nancy stood up and hugged him tight. Steve fist bumped him and Robin gave him a high five. Steve introduced you to Eddie and you noticed he stared a little longer than normal. You blushed softly and nervously sipped your fruity drink when he complimented you. “We’re super excited you’re finally performing here! We missed being able to see you.” Nancy scooted over so Eddie could slide in next to her.

“Yeah, missed seeing you guys! This will be good, I promise.” Eddie chuckled and stole a sip from Steve’s drink. Steve scowled and snatched the drink back.

Eddie soon left and the rest of you got up to get close to the performance. You were so nervous. The spark you felt with Eddie was such a huge shock, now you were scared to be so up close to him. The performance started and you didn’t notice how hard you were biting your lip while staring at Eddie until you tasted blood. He glanced at you and smirked while playing the guitar when he saw the blood on your bottom lip. You blushed and looked down. When he started singing you were dancing with Robin while Steve was dancing with Nancy. Eddie’s eyes were on you like a hawk. God, he couldn’t look away. That tight skirt you were wearing was riding up while you swayed your hips. He could almost see the bottom of your black lacy panties.

At the end of the performance, you were still dancing with Robin. You felt someone come up behind you and the strange hands held you tight against the body behind you. You turned your head and saw a weird man practically drooling at you and grinding up against your ass. You pushed him off and Robin stepped between the two of you. He put up a fight with Steve until suddenly he was thrown on the ground. Eddie pushed him to the ground and got security to kick him out.

“You okay?” Steve looked at you and put his hands on your shoulders. You nodded and smiled.

“Yeah. He didn’t do anything serious.” He nodded and let go of you.

The group, with Eddie, sat back down at your booth and Eddie slid in next to you, pushing up close to you so Robin could fit in next to you two. Your breath caught in your throat. He smelled like sweat and faded cologne. It was a scent you could get addicted to. It was dangerous. You learned Eddie was 32. He was a little older than the rest of the group, but that just made him all that much hotter.

“How’d you meet these idiots?” Eddie asked, looking at you with a smile and a tenderness in his eyes.

“Oh, I met Robin when she was graduating and the rest of them kind of just took me in.” You looked down at your drink and sipped it. Eddie put an arm around your shoulder and pulled you close to him, squeezing you slightly.

“Well, any friend of these people is my friend.” You chuckled nervously and glanced up at him.

Steve was talking about something that happened at his job when you felt Eddie’s hand on your thigh. You gulped nervously and felt him run his fingers in soft circles on your inner thigh. You bit the inside of your lip when he leaned a little closer into you. He squeezed your thigh and raised his hand higher. You put your hand on his, stopping him from going further. He cleared his throat and kept his hand on your knee.

The group had all gotten up to dance and Eddie took your hand, pulling you with him. You gasped softly when he pulled your back into his chest and held onto your hips, swaying the both of you to the music. You bit your lip and shut your eyes, leaning your head back on his shoulder. He ran his hand up your thigh and over your belly, lightly rubbing your breasts over your shirt.

“Eddie…” You moaned softly and he leaned his head down, kissing the side of your neck. You reached a hand back and tangled it in his hair. He tucked his fingers into the top of your skirt and squeezed your ass with the other one. He kissed up your neck and pressed his lips against your ear.

“Feel good, sweetheart? Everyone’s looking at us. Some of the girls look like they wanna kill you.” He flipped you around and you gasped, wrapping your arms around his neck. He grinned and grabbed your ass with both hands, pressing your hips more up against him. “Such a pretty girl…”

You moaned softly and he pressed his forehead against yours, grinding harder against you to the music. “Eddie… please…” 

He grinned and grabbed your hand, pulling you to the bathroom. He locked the door and pressed you up against the sink. His lips crashed down on yours and you groaned into his mouth, kissing him back almost immediately. You hitched your leg up around his waist and he lifted you up onto the counter. Your hands went to the buttons on his black dress shirt and started undoing them, running your fingers over every expanse of skin you exposed. He kissed down your neck and sucked a few marks into it. You smiled and moaned, pushing the shirt off his shoulders. He pulled your tank top off and dropped it on the floor. He kissed you again and squeezed your breasts over your lacy bra.

“Eddie, fuck… that feels so good…!” You moaned into his mouth and he grinned, reaching back to take the bra off, throwing it off somewhere in the sticky club bathroom.

“Yeah? Feel s’good when I touch you, baby? Wanna feel my mouth?” He pulled back and wrapped your legs around his waist. You nodded and moaned, digging the heels of your heels into the back of his thighs. He grinned and his lips instantly attached to your nipple, sucking and biting it. You cried out and threw your head back, tangling your fingers in his hair.

His hands went down and hiked your skirt up so he could slip his hand in your panties. “Fuck… So goddamn wet already…!” He groaned and swirled the tip of his tongue against your nipple. He rubbed your clit in time with his tongue and you panted heavily, grinding up against his hand. “Such a good fucking girl…” He grabbed your thighs and pulled your panties down your legs, shoving them in his back pocket. He slipped two fingers inside you in time with his thumb rubbing your clit. You instantly clenched down around his fingers and moaned, grabbing onto his shoulders.

“E-Eddie, your fingers a-are so big…!” You whined and bucked up harder against his hand. “I need… I need more… Please, Eddie…”

“Please what, honey? Use your words.” He mockingly pouted and fingered you faster.

“F-Fuck me! Please fuck me!” You cried out and sobbed in pleasure, pulling at your nipples.

He pulled you off the counter and bent you over it. He pulled his aching cock out and spit on his hand, stroking it a little before slowly pushing in. You groaned in unison, creating a song of pleasure between the two of you. He didn’t hold back at all. He growled like an animal and fucked you hard, the slapping of skin loud and could be heard over the muffled music behind the bathroom door. You sobbed, your eyes filling with tears of pure pleasure, moaning and gripping the counter hard.

“Goddamn, baby… So fucking tight around me… Gonna fucking milk me dry, huh? Want my cum deep inside you, honey?” You nodded and moaned louder.

“Y-Yes…! Please cum so deep inside me! I want it so bad…!” Your mouth hung open and he went faster.

“Cum for me first, baby. I’ll give you anything you want if you cum all over my cock.” He groaned and rubbed your clit in time with thrusts.

You cried out, finally given permission and came harder around his cock, squeezing hard around him and moaning loudly. Eddie grunted and groaned, grabbing your chin and pulling you up to kiss you hard, still pounding into you from behind. You begged and pleaded with him to cum and he finally granted you your wish, cumming deep inside you and moaning into your ear. You both caught your breath and your eyes shut as you slumped against the counter. You heard him grab some paper towels and get them wet, wiping your sensitive cunt clean before helping you fix your clothes. You both walked out of the bathroom a few minutes later and your group all gave you knowing looks. Eddie grinned and kissed your cheek while you blushed and buried your face deep in his chest in embarrassment.

Ooo kuroo and 18 for the ask game 👀👀

Ma'am yes ma'am.

Pairing: husband!Kuroo x fem!reader

Contains: oral (m!receiving), semi-public sex, quickies in the bathroom everybody, K calls R "pretty"

Words: 400

Notes: 18+ or you’ll be blocked

You have a love-hate relationship with the annual JVA awards dinner.

Halfway through your bland-and-inoffensive meal, the fourth round of speeches begins. There’s a video presentation. The stock music is identical to the last two years. Across the table from you, Bokuto Kotaro wolfs down his third dinner roll in half an hour.

Oh, and your husband is stroking your inner thigh through the slit in your dress.

Bless you, fashion trend for thigh-high slits.

You shift your weight from one hip to the other, discreetly trying to give Tetsuro a slightly better angle without putting yourself in an unbecoming position.

You notice his catlike grin, and the way he glances between your unfinished meal and your overheated face. “How’s the food?”

Caught between letting out a pitiful whimper and smacking him, it takes all your strength to reply, “Could be better.”

That makes his grin grow. He leans in, presses a kiss right below your sparkling earring, and whispers. “Lucky for you, I’ve got a better idea.”

Such is how you end up in the men's room (because it’s easier to justify ‘the line was too long’ for you than to come up with any reason for Tetsuro to be in the ladies’ room that wouldn’t result in his termination). You’re on your knees in the largest stall with Tetsuro’s suit jacket between you and the floor (‘Why would I let my wife kneel on a public bathroom floor?’). Your dress is on, at his insistence, and your mouth is full of his rock-hard, throbbing cock.

Alongside your arousal, pride swells in your stomach. You did this to him. You made him so insatiable, that he couldn’t stand sitting through another second of speeches before stuffing your mouth.

He grips your chin, long fingers pressed into either of your cheeks. You work him like you know only you can, like only you ever has; in what feels like seconds, he’s rocketing toward the edge, propelling right off of it until he’s not just seeing stars—he’s among them.

Heavy breaths. Shallow thrusts into your mouth. Head hitting the cold tile behind him, looking for respite from the heat. A beautiful keen tearing from the back of his throat.

“C’mon, Pretty; don’t make a mess,” he pants. He rubs his thumb into one of your cheeks, and a few stray beads of his come dribble down your lips, forced from your mouth.  “Swallow.”

The Penthouse

Justin was a wealthy stock trader known for his extravagant lifestyle, reveling in the opulence that money had bestowed upon him. Now in his mid-thirties, he hailed from a modest family in a small town, he grew up with dreams that seemed far out of reach. Yet, even from a young age, Justin possessed an unwavering determination and an insatiable hunger for success. His analytical mind and innate ability to predict market trends led him to pursue a career as a stock trader.

Leaving his hometown behind, he ventured to Wall Street, immersing himself in the fast-paced world of finance. With relentless dedication and a sharp intellect, he swiftly ascended the ranks, accumulating a significant fortune and earning a reputation as a shrewd trader.

Charismatic and confident, Justin exuded an air of self-assurance that commanded attention. His belief in his abilities drove him forward, propelling him through high-pressure situations with ease. Ambition coursed through his veins, and he refused to settle for anything less than extraordinary. Setting his sights on ambitious goals, he pursued them with relentless tenacity, using his sharp intellect and a keen eye for opportunities to make calculated decisions. Though his drive sometimes manifested as arrogance, it stemmed from his unmatched confidence in his capabilities.

Yet, beneath his ambitious exterior, Justin wrestled with an insatiable hunger for more. The pursuit of success often left him yearning for greater heights, preventing him from fully appreciating his accomplishments. There was a constant fear of complacency lurking within him, driving him to seek the next big challenge. With his thirst for material wealth and status, Justin struggled to find true contentment. Once he amassed his fortune trading on Wall Street, he now purchased the tallest and most luxurious penthouse condo in the heart of Los Angeles.

It was an architectural marvel that offered breathtaking views of the sprawling city below, with its shimmering lights and pulsating energy. Perched high above the bustling streets of L.A., Justin’s luxurious penthouse exuded an air of refined elegance. From the moment one stepped into the grand foyer, they were enveloped in an atmosphere of unparalleled luxury and sophistication.

The entrance hall, lined with gleaming marble floors, bathed in the soft glow of crystal chandeliers that cascaded from the lofty ceiling. Intricately designed wall sconces dotted the walls, casting gentle light upon the exquisite artwork. Moving deeper into the penthouse, an expansive living area awaited, showcasing a harmonious blend of contemporary timeless aesthetics.

Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the panoramic views of the City of Angels, where the shimmering lights of the sprawling metropolis stretched as far as the eye could see. A state-of-the-art home theater system seamlessly merged into the walls, providing a sanctuary for cinematic indulgence. Adjacent to the living area, a gourmet chef’s kitchen beckoned, replete with sleek granite countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and custom-designed cabinetry that housed an impressive collection of culinary treasures. A sprawling center island, illuminated by delicate pendant lights, served as the heart of this culinary haven, inviting guests to gather and witness the masterful culinary creations that would emanate from its depths, although Justin dined alone most evenings.

The master suite, a sanctuary of tranquility and indulgence, awaited at the end of a private corridor. Upon entering, one was greeted by an expanse of space adorned with plush, handcrafted furnishings. A king-sized bed, adorned with sumptuous linens and an array of meticulously arranged accent pillows, stood as the centerpiece, commanding attention. A private parlor behind a small inconspicuous door off the bedroom, adorned with rich mahogany bookcases and a custom-designed desk, offered a retreat for Justin’s intellectual pursuits. The ensuite bathroom, a masterpiece in its own right, boasted floor-to-ceiling Italian marble, cascading rain showers, and a decadent soaking tub that overlooked the breathtaking Los Angeles skyline. Ornate gold fixtures sparkled under the gentle glow of intricately designed chandeliers, adding a touch of regality to the space. Throughout the penthouse, an intelligent home automation system seamlessly integrated technology with the utmost sophistication. From the touch of a button, the ambient lighting would adjust, music would softly waft through hidden speakers, and motorized curtains would glide open, revealing the majestic vista outside.

The piece de resistance of Justin’s castle, a sprawling outdoor terrace awaited, beckoning Justin and his guests to bask in the glory of the city night sky. A sparkling infinity pool stretched towards the horizon, seemingly merging with the sky, while plush loungers and sumptuous seating arrangements provided the perfect setting for sun-soaked relaxation or elegant soirées under the stars.

Amidst the resplendent backdrop of his penthouse, Justin decided to host an extravagant gathering to commemorate the closure of a momentous business deal. The space was transformed into a scene of revelry and excess, as the crème de la crème of the business world mingled with glasses of champagne in hand. Guests, adorned in designer attire, oozed an air of self-importance as they engaged in spirited conversations, their voices laced with arrogance and thinly veiled competition.

Alexander proclaimed, “Did you hear about my latest acquisition? It’s a game-changer, I tell you.”

Penelope scoffed in response, “Oh, that’s cute. But let me tell you about my recent expansion into international markets. It’s only a matter of time before I dominate them all.”

“Please, both of you, step aside. My latest venture capital investment is the talk of the town. The future of Los Angeles belongs to me!” Maxwell said while popping his collar.

Amidst the cacophony of boastful declarations and competitive chatter, Justin’s weariness from the festivities and celebratory libations began to take its toll. As the night wore on, he found himself growing increasingly aware of subtle, yet peculiar happenings within his opulent abode. Whispers seemed to linger in the air as if carried by unseen forces, and shadows danced with mischievous energy. Drunk and disoriented, Justin’s senses played tricks on him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that the elegant paintings lining the walls observed the soirée with a mischievous glint in their eyes. The flickering candlelight cast elongated shadows that seemed to move of their own accord, adding an eerie touch to the luxurious ambiance.

Justin was the only one who seemed to notice.

As he stumbled through the lavish space, his steps grew unsteady as he encountered his reflection in a grand mirror. For a fleeting moment, he swore that his own reflection had smirked back at him, the contours of his face twisted in a sinister grin before returning to its familiar visage. Echoing whispers again floated through the air, carrying snippets of conversations long past or that may have never existed at all. A soft touch of a breeze suddenly tickled the nape of his neck, though no windows were open to invite such a draft.

Disoriented and increasingly unnerved while struggling to maintain his composure, Justin decided to retreat to the solace of his private parlor. The sanctuary offered a much-needed reprieve from the overwhelming presence of his self-absorbed guests and increasingly strange occurrences.

The room, shrouded in shadows, seemed to pulsate with otherworldly energy. The elegant furniture that once exuded comfort now loomed with an unsettling presence. The once-vibrant colors appeared distorted as if painted with shades unseen by mortal eyes.

Justin quickly burst through the small door leading to his bedroom and collapsed onto his bed, the weight of the evening and the inexplicable events pressing upon his weary mind. As he drifted between sleep and consciousness, his thoughts swirled with questions and trepidation. Was it the alcohol playing tricks on his senses, or had his penthouse become a stage for something far beyond his comprehension?

As the night wore on, and the final echoes of the gathering faded into silence, Justin’s exhaustion consumed him. Eyes heavy with weariness, he succumbed to a weighted slumber.

As the morning light filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Justin groaned and reluctantly stirred from his alcohol-induced slumber. His head throbbed mercilessly, and a parched tongue clung to the roof of his mouth. Disoriented, he initially believed that the previous night’s unsettling occurrences were merely the byproduct of an overindulgent celebration.

Shaking off the remnants of his hangover, Justin rose from his bed and began to wander aimlessly through the expansive penthouse. The space, adorned with its lavish decor, appeared as it always had. Yet, a nagging sense of unease tugged at the edges of his consciousness, his only relief was seeing that his guests had all left and seemingly cleaned up after themselves.

As he moved from room to room, Justin’s footsteps echoed through the expanse, seeming oddly hushed against the plush carpets beneath his feet. He cast his gaze upward, expecting to see familiar ceilings, but something caught his attention. The height of the penthouse seemed subtly different—almost imperceptibly taller than he remembered.

Puzzled, Justin’s eyes traced the walls, searching for clues. The crown molding that had once elegantly framed the rooms now stood slightly higher, accentuating the lofty ceilings. The custom-made furniture, which had once fit perfectly within the space, now appeared ever so slightly dwarfed against the expanded dimensions of the penthouse.

With a furrowed brow, Justin continued his exploration. The windows, once offering a mesmerizing view of the Los Angeles skyline, now seemed to be positioned higher, as if the penthouse itself had been lifted closer to the heavens. The breathtaking panorama appeared distorted, the familiar landmarks below appearing minuscule against the backdrop of the city.

Every corner he turned, every detail he observed, heightened Justin’s unease. The grand chandeliers that had once graced the ceilings now dangled at an uncomfortably greater distance from the floor. The art pieces that had once adorned the walls seemed to shrink in proportion, lost within the expanse of the newly elongated space.

His heart quickened, and a sense of apprehension settled within him. It was as if the penthouse itself had undergone an inexplicable transformation, stretching upward in defiance of the laws of physics. The very architecture of his sanctuary seemed to mock his attempts to find normalcy, whispering an unsettling truth—that the events of the previous night were not merely the delusions of an intoxicated mind. Justin reached for his phone only to find that he was not receiving any service at these new heights. He rushed towards the elevator, and it was as if the elevator car was thirty floors below and completely unreachable. The door that lead to the emergency stair exit was now covered and was like it never existed at all.

Bewildered, Justin couldn’t shake the lingering feeling that he had stumbled into an altered reality, where the dimensions of his penthouse exceeded the boundaries of normalcy and he had lost all contact with the outside world. The once-familiar dwelling now loomed with an eerie grandeur, leaving him to question if he had unwittingly stepped into a twisted realm where the laws of space and perception were forever changed. With each passing day, the frequency and intensity of these disturbances escalated, unsettling the very core of his being. Shadows danced on the periphery of his vision, objects shifted position when his back was turned, and eerie sounds reverberated through the halls, chilling his soul.

One fateful night, Justin awoke to a chilling realization that his once-familiar sanctuary had been irrevocably altered. His disheveled state of mind was met with a surreal scene, as his bedroom had undergone a profound transformation. The meticulously arranged furniture now adorned unfamiliar corners, and his bed had inexplicably migrated to the opposing wall. Paralyzed by fear, he grasped at straws, attributing this bizarre occurrence to the mischievous antics of his affluent companions—a high-stakes prank orchestrated by those who reveled in his fortune. But this was no prank, and his friends seemed light-years away.

Nevertheless, the passage of time shattered Justin’s fragile illusions. The ethereal metamorphosis within his home grew increasingly extreme, plunging him into a maelstrom of disorientation and despair. The very architecture of the walls seemed to shift and contort, defying the laws of physics and reaching unimaginable heights nearing the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere. Mysterious symbols and cryptic markings etched themselves onto surfaces, their enigmatic origins eluding comprehension. The once-secure walls now seemed to harbor an otherworldly force, tightening its grip on Justin’s sanity.

The anxiety and fear made him pass out on the floor and when he awoke, he was no longer confined to the familiarity of his fancy penthouse. Instead, he found himself confined within a sterile, antiseptic chamber devoid of windows or discernible exits. The stark white walls offered no solace, their pristine surfaces mocking his predicament. Trapped and alone, Justin’s heart pounded with trepidation, his breath hitching as he realized that he was now at the mercy of an otherworldly presence.

These extraterrestrial beings, tall and slender with elongated limbs and piercing black eyes, conducted their clandestine observations upon Justin. Their elongated fingers probed and prodded as if dissecting the secrets of his very existence. Terror coursed through his veins, pleading eyes beseeching for mercy, yet the enthralling gaze of the aliens remained impassive, oblivious to his desperate cries which seemed to have no actual sound.

Justin found himself subjected to a series of bewildering and unsettling experiments. Initially, the alien beings conducted physical examinations, meticulously analyzing his body from head to toe. Their touch was precise and clinical as if they were studying an intriguing specimen. They scanned him with advanced devices, emitting faint hums and glows as they delved into the intricacies of his physiology.

As the days turned into weeks, the experiments took on a more invasive nature. Justin was subjected to strange devices that emitted eerie lights and emitted low-frequency vibrations. The aliens seemed to be testing the limits of his endurance and resilience, pushing him to the edge of his physical and mental capabilities.

They probed his mind, delving deep into his memories and thoughts, seeking to unravel the intricacies of human consciousness. Justin’s thoughts and emotions were laid bare, his innermost secrets exposed to these otherworldly beings. It was an invasion of privacy that left him feeling vulnerable and violated.

The aliens, driven by an insatiable curiosity, continued their relentless exploration. They exposed Justin to bizarre environments, altering gravity and atmospheric conditions to observe his reactions. They manipulated time itself, subjecting him to accelerated or decelerated experiences that distorted his sense of reality.

Through it all, Justin’s pleas and protests fell on deaf ears. The aliens seemed incapable of understanding his distress, their motives and intentions were shrouded in enigmatic silence. He became a mere pawn in their pursuit of knowledge, a specimen trapped in their inscrutable experiment.

The sense of dread that had initially consumed Justin grew with each passing day. He realized that escape was futile, and a profound sense of hopelessness settled over him. Days turned into weeks, and any glimmer of hope flickered like a dying ember. The confines of the alien vessel became his prison, the relentless experimentation an inescapable torment. He witnessed the boundaries of his endurance crumble, consumed by the unshakable certainty that he would never again witness the embrace of the outside world. Dread constricted his every thought, the lingering fear of forever languishing within the clutches of these inscrutable beings—an existence devoid of all hope and devoid of the life he once knew.

Break Your Dad's Back

Summary: Chiropractors were becoming the hot thing for the stars in Los Angeles. Not that he was a star. After hearing from Janet about the miracle that was chiropractors, Holland March just had to try it out for himself.

Rating: +18 for explicit mature content

Content/Tags: Semi-public sex, Smut, Gratuitous Smut, Blow Job, Bathroom Sex

Status: One shot/Complete

How the hell had Holland March ended up here? Well to start, a friend of a friend of Holly's friend said that 'Chiropractors' were the new 'it' thing.

"All the stars are going to chiropractors!"

Now he wasn't normally one to follow trends but when Janet wouldn't shut the fuck up about an aunt who opened a new practice… he needed to do something to get that girl to stop talking. So there he was, sitting on a suede couch, watching a goldfish swim aimlessly around in an all but silent reception area.

“Mr. March?” A woman opened the door and looked up from her manila folder to scan the room. God if all the other men in the room didn’t turn their heads at her

“Jesus.” He muttered under his breath

“I beg your pardon?” The woman asked

“Ah. Nothing.” He stood up from his chair and walked to her. He held out a hand and she shook it gently. Her hands were… soft. They were also warm, and kind of comforting. He seemed to forget his trepidation about whether or not the chiropractor was going to be a quack as he followed her long legs down the hallway and into a private room.

“Nice to meet you Mr. March. My name is…”

“Holland,” He interjected, “You can just call me Holland.”

“Alright… Mr. Holland. This is your first appointment here, yes?”

“Yes.” He said out loud, not wanting to let the rest of his thought escape from his head

“Do you have any previous issues with your back?”

“Um no?” He raised an eyebrow, trying to think. “But I had a thing with my… left spiral…”

“A spiral fracture?”

“Yeah that.” He smiled at her and stared into her eyes. God, they were as pretty as the night sky

“Would you mind?”

“What?”

“I just asked if you would mind sitting here on this chair.” She repeated herself

“Oh sure.” He shuffled over to where she had directed him to. “I don’t need to take my shirt off or anything like that, do I?”

“No. I’d prefer it if you didn’t.” She laughed a little, “People seem to confuse my practice for a massage parlor.”

“Oh, we wouldn’t want that.” He laughed along with her. “So… where do I put my arms on this thing?”

“Just let them rest at your side. If I need you to move them, I’ll let you know.”

“Sounds good.” He smiled. He felt her hand press gently against his back and he tried to pull away from her before she made a little noise and said,

“Don’t squirm.”

“Well it’s a little fucking hard…” He started to roll off with a sarcastic tone before regaining enough sense to put his foot back into his mouth

“A little fucking hard what?” She sassed him back. His eyes shot open, a little fear caught in his throat

“When you’re not used to someone touching you like that.” He said, pulling back on the sarcasm

“I understand.” She said, patience of a saint this one had. “I get a lot of clients that say it’s an odd sensation.” She let her fingertips linger on his back for a second before going in with her hand once again. She got a good feel of him, and talked about where Holland had seemed to be holding tension. Or some shit like that. Holland wasn’t really paying too much attention to her words. “Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to start my work.”

“You haven’t even started yet?” His voice rose

“No I haven’t. I can stop if you’re uncomfortable though…” She offered

“No. You’re fine.” He bit down on his lip

“Alright.” She said with a smile before she applied pressure with the center of her palm. “Take a deep breath…”

Next he heard a crack and a wave of pain erupted across his back. He really should have taken that breath because the next words that shot out from his mouth was a high-pitched, “Jesus!”

“Are you alright?” She asked

“Fuck I heard this shit was supposed to help.” He whined

“It will. You just have to let me do my work.”

“Fine, jesus.” He huffed and tensed his back up in fear. Her hand moved down lower on his back this time before another popping sound and some more pain. “Fuck!”

“If it’s hurting too much I can stop.” She offered once more

“No. See I’m waiting for that part where the pain is supposed to stop and shit is going to feel better.” He mouthed off

“Fine!” She sassed back a little before applying pressure in another area she had mentioned was an issue, only to be met with the same reaction as before

“Fuck!”

It was… a process like that for another half an hour or until the appointment time was up. He’d shout some obscenities, she’d chastise him for not trusting in her work and he’d go back on the defensive about how he’ll trust her this time.

“There, I’m done.” She announced. He got up from the chair, ready to point his finger at her and say she didn’t do shit but noticed that his back felt lighter than it had an hour ago.

“Uh. Thanks for that.” He bit his tongue

“You’re welcome. I tried to get rid of most of your problems, but it’d be better if you came back for continual appointments…”

“Is this a fucking scam? After all that?” He scoffed

“No. I’m just saying it would help.” She countered him, “That and I wouldn’t mind seeing you again. In spite of your profanity.”

“Yeah?” He raised an eyebrow and gave her a little half smile that would charm even the coldest of hearts. Or so he thought anyway.

“Yeah. You’re not too bad on the eyes.” She looked him up and down

“Um…” He fumbled to get something from his jacket pocket and managed to get a card out to give to her. She twirled the card in between her fingers while she read it

“You’re actually named Holland March?”

“Of course.” He smiled at her

“I’ll call you.” She smiled back at him

“Yes.” He pumped his fists and walked out of the room, before walking back in. “Um. Did you see that?”

“I did.” She laughed, and tucked her bangs behind her ear

“Can… you pretend you didn’t?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Ugh.” He groaned before walking back out into the lobby and setting up another appointment.

---

“You have reached Nice Guys Investigations. This machine records messages. Wait for the tone and speak clearly.”

“Hi this…” A woman’s voice said over the line and Holland ran across the house to pick up the phone

“Hi.” He answered

“Who’s calling?” Holly asked her father

“None.”

“None what?”

“None of your business.” He snapped at her and continued his call like nothing had happened. “Sorry.”

“That’s okay.” She sounded happy on the other end, “I was thinking…”

“Yeah?” He used one leg to prop himself up against the wall as he listened

“Want to meet up tonight?”

“Yeah. Yeah that sounds great. We could go get dinner… and stuff.”

“Why are you saying ‘and stuff’? You hate ‘and stuff’.” Holly scoffed, just who was this man in her dad’s ugly shirt?

“Shut up.” He said into the phone before apologizing and resting the receiver on his shoulder, “I’m trying to get some work done. Why don’t you just go over to Jessica’s or something?”

“Fine.” She rolled her eyes. Clearly her dad was a love struck teenager again the way he was acting all weird… and stuff.

“Sorry, again.”

“So tonight?”

“Definitely.”

“I’ll see you then.” He hung up on her, practically slamming the device down. He went to the bathroom to make sure his hair looked good and that his mustache looked… decent enough. After he cleaned up he got into his car and headed to the address she had given him. He did one last swoop to make sure the hair was in place, then hopped out to meet her. “Damn you look… really nice.”

“Thanks.” She smiled down at her feet and sat across from him at the table. They made small talk but he wasn’t really interested in that. He couldn’t stop staring at her, thinking about how pretty she was. When she realized he wasn't paying attention to the conversation she excused herself to run to the bathroom before whispering, "Meet me in 5."

"Here?" He started choking on his water, but she didn’t answer back. She was halfway across the dining room. Once he had regained his composure, he got up from the table and walked to the bathroom. He knocked on the door on the stall at the back of the bathroom and she opened the door for him. She kissed him first before he firmly gripped her hips and pinned her to the wall of the stall. Her lips connected with his once more after moving her hands under his coat. She bit down on his lip and his eyes practically popped open. Not that he didn’t like the feeling… he relished it, in fact. Once she felt like she had him eating out of her hand she pulled herself away. He let out a quiet protest in the form of a whine as she looked at him with hungry eyes. He watched her as she got down on her knees and slowly undid his fly. Holland bit his lip as his erect cock felt the cool bathroom air. He looked down at the confident woman as her plush lips pressed onto the head. He let out an odd noise, somewhere between a grunt and a moan as her tongue worked its way along his shaft. One more good lick and her mouth was wrapped around him. His eyes rolled to the back of his head and his right hand weaved through the strands of her hair, his grip firm against the back of her head. She started bobbing her slowly, pushing him further into her throat.

“Jesus…” He moaned. She took this as a sign to go faster. His breath became less automatic and more concentrated. He bucked his hips into her face, just to be closer to her touch. He didn’t last long, having been without much relief in a couple of years. He felt himself growing weak and released inside of her. Never breaking contact, she looked up at him as she swallowed his load. He shifted his weight fully into the wall as he slouched. She got up off her knees, and used the edge of her thumb to clean up the corners of her lips.

“You like that?” She asked in a coy manner

“Yeah.” He replied, letting out a cough that made him shake before muttering another “Fuck.”

The bathroom was quiet for a second before she broke it by saying,

“Let’s go somewhere more private.”

“Okay.” He grinned like an idiot and followed her out of the bathroom from a distance, so as not to arouse suspicion. After paying for their meal, practically pulled him out of the restaurant and threw him into his car. She kissed his cheek and rested a hand on his shoulder, using her hands as a means to gauge

“You’re starting to feel tense. I might be able to fit you in for an adjustment later in the day tomorrow.”

“It’s a date.” Holland nodded before driving her back to his place for the night

"Give me some credit; my head's not that big."

"I haven't seen you in two days. If I don't see you today I may actually die of neglect."

"We're here now, and we'll be here for the next three hours, so relax and don't hit my partner when he's trying to be nice."

"Your little guys could get through a brick wall. I'm not sure if I should be proud, but I kind of am, Ben."

"You still kiss your mommy? What a baby."

"You realize how monumentally full of shit you are, yes?"

"If I used one of those [bathrooms], I wouldn't have been able to enjoy this wonderful bonding moment between us."

"Oh, kid, don't ask, okay? My rapport with married women is nothing I want you to imitate."

"If you ever run your fuckin' mouth to a man pointin' a gun at your face again, I will yank your teeth out one by one. Am I clear?"

"Right, I'd forgotten the newest trend is to go spend money to see the performances of people you hate."

"I've been sober for about two minutes since that night in '42."

"'Course you're doin' the right thing. But keep in mind, I ain't gonna someday shuffle off this mortal coil without you right there to watch me do it."

"Alright, your highness, where do you keep your crown so I can polish it with what'll be left of my brains when we're finished up there?!"

"The love I have for you cannot be contained in this tiny room, so I'm choosing to expand and unfurl it elsewhere."

"You've been hiding your worry from me since we were kids. I'd barely recognize it on you."

"What? He's the only person on Earth you won't let get a glimpse of you without pants? That doesn't make any sense. He wants it more than anybody else."

"No, sir, you threw produce at my head. I am telling my mother."

"What is this, 'Ben Gets Nothing' Week?"

"I'm gonna break his ribs. I'm gonna snap a piano in two halves, take one of them, and hit him in the ribs."

#tag game #OC in Fifteen #profile: Reagan #profile: Ben #Partners #PI #PII #PIII #*keeping in mind all but a piddling bit isn't actually in novel form yet so I've drawn pretty exclusively from the Bitstrips versions #also I'd like it to be known that Reagan says number 6 to his own son LOL

One time he found a first year crying outside a school party and he was kinda rude about it but he dragged them to the bathroom, fixed them up with some make up and let them vent about what happened to him. He got them some water for hydration and brought them to his and Rook’s table so they won’t be alone the rest of the night

He hosts daily morning yoga classes for the house, not everyone there does yoga with him because they have different stretching routines but every morning, without fail he hosts a place for people to quietly prepare themselves for the day and get their body energized in a healthy way

Barely any junk food is allowed in the Pomefiore dorm house, usually it is in people’s personal stashes, but Vil always keeps some kind of comfort snack on him for when killer eye liner alone isn’t enough to fix an emotional situation

Has advocated for a storage room full of extra uniform pieces in various sizes so that if one of the students have some kind of emergency for a new uniform it is there

He also advocated for this so hard so that students who could only afford to buy one uniform now have access to more, the storage closet mainly being hand me down uniforms from alumni and other students

He was inspired to do this once he met Ruggie and noticed how many times he had the same uniform on.

He always puts a little extra effort into researching the original mythology or the stories movies are based upon, especially when it is something he knows one of his friends (it is really just Rook, Epel, and MC) like so that he can tell them about the history and talk to them

He has high standards for himself and will always strive to be the best but he also views any romantic interest he has as on of the best people on the planet

Rook

Would be an amazing older sibling.

Absolute shit younger sibling, would not use younger sibling privileges to his advantage and just do everything himself-

But would be the best big brother who gets you whatever you need when you’re sick and not only teaches you how to do basic things for human living, like laundry and cooking, but also if his little sibling wanted to try a new hobby but was scared because they’d have to go to a class for it or they’d need a work station at home for it, he’d build the work station himself and do it with them no questions asked to make his sibling feel better

Loves to talk to the new first years and kind of scare them but also reassure them that Vil isn’t as scary as they think

If someone close to him gets into a physical altercation he is the first person to step in and either break it up or defend them

Afterwards he is also the first person to show them how to properly defend themself if they don’t know how previously

Hates PDA brut behind closed doors he is the most affectionate person you’ve ever met

He may not like physical PDA but he is not afraid to announce to others that he adores his partner

Paints everyone he is close to

Somewhere, buried deep underneath all his fandom plushies- he has a stuffed Elephant from hehe he was really little

This one is curtesy of @strawberrybaat ✨BEST FRIEND✨ - when he gets a crush on someone he doodles them in notebooks or random scraps of paper when he has to physically be in class or boring lobbies and such, he also doodles Azul sometimes because they’re friends

To double up on this he also doodles them when his anxiety is getting bad to remind himself there is someone out there who he does like

Is secretly the best gift giver. Doesn’t know exactly what everyone wants but knows how to get anything they need and how to tell what would be an amazing gift or something shitty they probably already have

He has a list of games that are good for date nights, the moment he gets in a relationship, he is ready to go with the list of co op games they can play together

When someone is sad around him he doesn’t know what to do usually but will slap headphones on them and play a distracting playlist to help them

Runs a blog dedicated to queer representation in games

Insanely respectful of boundaries and is not afraid to fight to protect other people’s boundaries in online spaces

Always lets Ortho put his hair into cut braids and buns

Malleus

Takes care of his tomagatchi religiously, even asks Silver or Sebek to take care of it when he has to step away

Secretly knows the name of everyone in his dorm house and keeps an eye on them for any suspicious behavior (this is a cover up for in case people ask, really he tries to make sure everyone is doing okay and if he sees someone slipping from their normal routine he tells their friends)

Loves butterflies. Plus, butterflies love him. Can’t explain it, they just do.

Has a tier list of what he thinks are the best and worst ice creams, every time he tries something new it gets added to the list. This list is incredibly long.

When Silver became old enough to try ice cream he spent AT LEAST an hour picking out the perfect flavor for him to try, basing it off what baby silver liked and disliked.

Composes the sweetest love songs when he falls in love.

Has composed a theme song for everyone he is close to, Lilia’s is surprisingly brash but gets progressively lighter, Silver’s is the lightest toned thing ever and on piano because Malleus can never get over baby Silver, and Sebek’s is full of long notes and different combinations of keys.

When Silver was little he always let him play with his hair

The most supportive person ever, is always the first person to help you research how to learn a new skill

Malleus defender against your own inner demons 🥰

Lilia

He has a collection of baby clothes from when Silver was itty bitty baby

Proudest dad you have ever seen right here

If there is a fridge in the Diasomnia house, Lilia puts every student’s 100% on it. Quiz, test, project, final, it does not matter as long as a student gets 100% on something it goes on the fridge.

Has gold star stickers on him always because when Malleus or Silver get sad he slaps a gold star sticker on their faces and reminds them how cool they are with a fake award he makes up on the spot, Silver is the reigning champion of the “cutest cheeks award”

The one piece of technology Lilia always has to have the best of is cameras because he SCRAPBOOKS. And these things are MASSIVE!!!!!! He has so many scrapbooks of baby Silver alone, don’t even get him started on the ones of Malleus growing up.

Has saved every piece of art and trinket Malleus or Silver has made for him.

He keeps a little beaded bracelet Silver made when he was really little on him at all times.

Loves taking random classes for various activities, skills, and cooking (yes he has been black listed from multiple establishments)

Loves to give surprise street performances with random people he meets

Used to sing to Silver to help him sleep

One in four women are being left alone and anxious during childbirth amid a worsening crisis in NHS maternity care, a damning report has revealed.

A quarter of mothers giving birth last year said they were unable to get help from midwives and doctors at times when they were worried during labour.

The Care Quality Commission, which conducted the survey, said this represents a “concerning decline” since 2019, when 19 per cent said they couldn’t get help when they needed.

Less than half said their husband or partner was allowed to stay with them throughout their stay in hospital, amid ongoing “lockdown-era” visiting restrictions in hospitals.

The number of women who say they were treated with “kindness and understanding” by hospital staff has also fallen over the past three years, from 76 per cent to 71 per cent.

Increasing numbers of women also say their concerns are being ignored, and they are not treated with dignity and respect.

In total 20,900 women who gave birth across England in February 2022 were questioned as part of an annual survey.

Only 41 per cent of the women said their husband, partner or family member could stay with them the whole time they were in hospital during and after childbirth. This has improved slightly from 34 per cent in 2021, when draconian pandemic hospital visiting restrictions remained in place, but is down from 74 per cent in 2019.

The CQC, which regulates hospitals, looked at 26 aspects of maternity care and found “a significant downward trend” in 21 areas over the past five years.

The report has been published following a series of high-profile NHS maternity scandals. In October an investigation found 97 babies and mothers died as a result of “deplorable” treatment by staff at East Kent Hospitals, with the lead author Dr Bill Kirkup calling for an overhaul of NHS maternity care to “break the cycle of endlessly repeating supposedly one-off catastrophic failures”.

But health leaders warned that a shortage of 2,000 midwives means care is getting worse rather than better, putting the lives of mothers and babies at risk.

Angela McConville, CEO of the NCT, the parent support charity, said: “Maternity services in England are categorically falling short of women’s expectations. A woman who gives birth today may have a worse experience of NHS maternity services than if she gave birth five years ago. Time usually leads to progress, but we’re seeing the opposite.

“Today, women are less likely to report getting the help they need during labour, birth and antenatally, to get information to make informed decisions about their care and to feel that any concerns about their care are taken seriously.

“This is not all the impact of the Covid pandemic but is directly associated with long-term under-investment in the staffing of maternity services.

“Lockdown-era postnatal policies must end now. It is unacceptable that less than half of women say that their partner or someone close to them was able to stay with them as much as they’d like after giving birth. Trusts must immediately enable partners’ presence at in-hospital postnatal care so that mothers are never left without food and water, emotional support, access to a bathroom and help to lift and feed their baby.”

Postnatal care after women get home was also found to be worsening, with many new mothers left feeling isolated and unsure how to breastfeed and care for their baby. Less than half said they were always able to access advice in the six to eight-week period after having their baby.

Despite repeated pledges to improve “continuity of care” just one in ten women saw the same midwife throughout pregnancy and in the early days of motherhood, the research found.

One in five women said they were not offered any choices about where to have their baby.

Victoria Vallance, from the CQC, said the results show a “concerning decline over time” with women unable to get help “when it was most needed”.

She said: “This reflects the increasing pressures on frontline staff as they continue in their efforts to provide high quality maternity care with the resources available.

“CQC is committed to doing all we can to help accelerate those improvement efforts. We recently began a new programme of maternity inspections which has a strong focus on capturing the experience of women and families.”

Matthew Jolly, national clinical director for maternity and women’s health for the NHS in England, said: “The CQC survey results show the ongoing impact of the pandemic on maternity services, and while the majority of women were positive about their interactions with staff and the information provided, other findings show the implications of sustained workforce challenges and reinforce the need for further improvements to maternity services.

“We continue to take action to strengthen maternity services across the country — we’re investing £165 million annually to grow our workforce, strengthen leadership and improve culture, while continuing to work closely with NHS trusts and our partners to make necessary improvements and ensure that we provide the best possible services for mothers, babies and their families.”

How to choose the right plumbing fixtures for your bathroom shower

Your bathroom is a special place in your home. It's where you start and finish your day, and sometimes, it's where you find peace. But did you know that the key to making your bathroom comfy and stylish lies in picking the right things for it? We're talking about bathroom fixtures, like taps and showers.

In this guide, we'll help you choose the right bathroom fixtures that not only match your style but also fit your bathroom just right. Whether you want a modern look or a cozy one, the choices you make here will make your bathroom a great place for your daily routines. Let's start and see how these small things can make a big difference in your bathroom.

Main Bathroom Fixtures

Let's start by exploring the main bathroom fixtures you'll need:

Faucets: Faucets are the workhorses of your bathroom. They come in various styles and finishes, but the most important factor is functionality. Look for water-efficient options to save both water and money. Check out the latest trends in faucet designs, but don't forget to prioritize performance.

Showers: A good shower can make or break your morning routine. Low-flow showerheads are eco-friendly and can help you save water without sacrificing water pressure. Consider the type of showerhead, whether rain shower, handheld, or traditional, that suits your preferences.

Toilets: Toilets have come a long way in terms of design and water efficiency. Dual-flush toilets give you the option to use less water for liquid waste and more for solid waste, reducing overall water consumption. Think about the style and height of the toilet that best fits your bathroom.

Sinks: Sinks come in various materials and designs. Consider the space available and your design preferences when choosing between pedestal sinks, under-mount sinks, or vessel sinks. Also, prioritize eco-friendly materials like porcelain or ceramic.

Lighting: Lighting plays a significant role in creating the right ambiance in your bathroom. Energy-efficient LED fixtures are not only trendy but also eco-friendly. Think about task lighting for grooming and ambient lighting for relaxation.

Small Fixtures and Accessories

Small fixtures and accessories may seem like minor details, but they can make a big difference in your bathroom's functionality and style. Towel racks, soap dispensers, and bath mats should all complement your chosen fixtures. Look for sustainable materials and designs that align with your overall bathroom aesthetic.

Choosing Fixtures for Different Bathroom Types

Every bathroom in your home may have unique requirements. Let's explore the considerations for different bathroom types:

Master Bathroom: For your master bathroom, prioritize comfort and luxury. Consider dual-sink vanities, spacious showers, and a bathtub if space allows.

Guest Bathroom: Guest bathrooms should be functional and easy to maintain. Opt for durable fixtures and a neutral design that appeals to a wide range of tastes.

Powder Room: Powder rooms are often small, so choose space-saving fixtures and accessories. A stylish faucet and a unique mirror can make a statement.

8 Tips for choosing the right plumbing fixtures for your bathroom shower

1. Determine Your Budget

Before you start shopping for plumbing fixtures, establish a clear budget. Fixtures can range from budget-friendly to high-end luxury, so knowing your spending limit will narrow down your options and prevent overspending.

2. Consider Water Efficiency

Water efficiency is not only environmentally responsible but also cost-effective in the long run. Look for fixtures with the Waterhens label, which indicates they meet specific water conservation standards. Low-flow showerheads and faucets can significantly reduce water consumption without compromising water pressure.

3. Choose a Showerhead Style

Showerheads come in various styles, each offering a unique showering experience:

Rainfall Showerhead: Provides a gentle, cascading flow of water for a soothing experience.

Handheld Showerhead: Offers flexibility and convenience, allowing you to direct the water where you need it.

Standard Wall-Mounted Showerhead: A classic choice that provides a consistent water stream.

Consider your preferences and needs when selecting the style that suits you best. Some showers even combine multiple types for a versatile experience.

4. Think About Shower Faucets and Controls

The type of faucet and control system you choose can impact the ease of use and functionality of your shower. Options include:

Single-handle Faucet: Offers simplicity and easy temperature control.

Thermostatic Valve: Maintains a consistent water temperature, preventing sudden temperature fluctuations.

Pressure-Balancing Valve: Ensures stable water pressure, even when other fixtures are in use in your home.

Select a faucet and control system that aligns with your desired shower experience and safety preferences.

5. Match Your Bathroom Style

Your bathroom's overall style and aesthetics should guide your fixture choices. Whether your bathroom has a traditional, modern, or eclectic design, there are fixtures available to complement your décor. Consider finishes like chrome, brushed nickel, or oil-rubbed bronze to match your bathroom's color scheme.

6. Test Functionality

When shopping for shower fixtures, don't hesitate to physically interact with the displays. Test the handles, knobs, and showerheads to ensure they feel comfortable and function smoothly. This hands-on approach can help you identify fixtures that meet your ergonomic preferences.

7. Seek Professional Advice

If you're uncertain about which plumbing fixtures are best for your bathroom shower, consult with a professional plumber. They can provide expert guidance based on your specific needs, local water regulations, and plumbing requirements. In Seattle, for example, plumbers in Seattle can offer valuable insights into fixtures that work well in the city's unique plumbing landscape.

8. Read Reviews and Recommendations

Before making your final decision, read online reviews and seek recommendations from friends, family, or online forums. Hearing about others' experiences with specific fixtures can help you make an informed choice

Conclusions

Choosing the right bathroom fixtures is a significant step in creating a bathroom that suits your needs and style. Take your time, explore different options, and don't hesitate to seek advice from professionals, especially if you're in Seattle. A well-planned bathroom remodel can enhance your daily life and add value to your home. So, start planning, stay within your budget, and create the bathroom of your dreams.

No hate to anyone who likes an open floor concept. But MY GOD, we have seen it so much now. Please literally give us anything with originality and warmth. It that feeling of a home. Right now those monotone colors are giving High End Dentist waiting area.

I went to Ikea last week, and when I tell you I was in heaven. I was taken pictures of all the rooms, kitchens, bathrooms floor displays for future inspo. Cause it looked that nice. Whoever the marketing director for Ikea USA needs a raise, they are incredibly smart for not going with the current home design trend.

And don't even get me started on those houses that are being built in like 6 months.

lololol high end dentist waiting area 😂

i’m currently in a place of, getting free furniture off the side of the street for my tiny apartment. so, it’s not that I don’t care, but, it’s possible my lack of opinion on this subject has to do with my current thrift store decor vibe 🥲👍

Eden of the East (ep 1,3,4,5)

Let’s talk about the expectations that society has for the youth. It is expected that once you graduate college, the next step is to start looking for a position in the workforce. However, this wasn’t the same social script that Saki followed. She decided to take a brief vacation after graduating. She mentions to Takizawa that she wanted to cast a wish for change for Japan at the White House”s water fountain because there are disturbing trends of not being able to do things for yourself in Japan. This can be seen after Saki’s interview when women in the bathroom criticize her for going on vacation rather than looking for a job. Why is so bad to go on a vacation after working so hard in college? Is it really bad to take a break to recharge? Why can’t Society stop judging those who want a break from working or want to work in something they like? Saki mentions that she refused a job opportunity because the interviewer was talking about it was good to be young in the workforce. She felt that many employers tend to burn out the youth for their own benefit and she didn’t want that. Is it so wrong to search for a job that you may want to enjoy?

A mystery from Takizawa was the missing NEET people that he may or may not have killed. NEET stands for not in education, employment, or training. However, I have a theory that he may not have killed them but actually help them. When he meets a random guy who thanks him for leaving him stranded in Dubai, this event allowed him to reenter society. I want to think that this may be one of the missing NEET people and that is who he is trying to save Japan. Hence why he decides to help Saki, a NEET herself, at the end of episode 5.

The purpose of giving 10 billion yen to these 12 selecaos is for them to spend money to “save” Japan. However, the role of the support is to kill those who didn’t use their money for the goal or once they finish the money. For example, the doctor spent all his money to buy a hospital to take in old people and to be able to give them jobs. Shiratori, the woman who killed a guy, seems to be in a high position that interview the new graduates entering the workforce. Could she use the money to keep a clean reputation to be able to hire people, aka saving Japan? I think? But there many episode to watch! It is crazy that once again money to seen as a solution to Society's “problems”.

I haven't been able to get to prom (idk why, my sim asked her boyfriend, but then when prom time came. nothing happened.) but so far here's my thoughts on Sims 4: High School Years.

SocialBunny

SocialBunny was a feature added. Your sim can add their contacts to it, send them messages that can increase/decrease friendship. Your sim can also make posts, and react to their friends' posts. Better social media in the sims is a good idea, but right now it's just annoying. There's constantly notifications, sims will randomly send mean messages which decrease friendship with their contacts (my sims household is rn an older sister and a teen sister, and they randomly send hateful messages to each other out of nowhere). Your sim can gain followers, but I'm not sure what that does if I'm honest. Currently, the timestamp feature in the app isn't working for me, every post and message says 0 minutes.

In one household I was playing with a young adult sim created before the high school years was released, I tried to do SocialBunny with her, and it was constantly buggy, my sim would never have the new post option, she never gained followers, any sim she added would start posting flirty messages/posts about her. I'm not sure what caused this, if it was a general bug that got patched quickly, or if there was some issue being caused by my sim.

In any case, when properly working this means I nearly constantly see the friendship+/friendship- or romance+ icons over my sims head.

Trendi

Trendi is another "app" on your Sims phone. Here you can buy and sell outfits and check current outfit trends. If you then go to ThrifTea, you can browse the racks and make a fashion look (and unlock/buy CAS items that are only available certain times here). Once you make the look you can wear it, try to promote it, and sell it on Trendi. It costs money to make outfits I believe, and I've struggled to sell many outfits as the listing expires and there ends up being no offers. If you try to hype an outfit, that can backfire and lower the hype. Sometimes when my Sim researches trends, it will say a certain style both has high hype and low hype. Currently my Sim has 2 outfits in her inventory I've been unable to sell.

High School

This is the main point of the expansion. Your teen-aged Sims previously would attend high school by just leaving at 8 and returning home at 3. Now, much like jobs introduced in Get To Work, you can follow your Sim to High School, where they have tasks to complete to have a productive school day. Unlock Get To Work jobs, though, there's a lot of timed things at High School.

A high school day consists of a morning free period, 1st class, lunch, and second class. The free time of the morning and lunch your sim gets a few tasks, (Study for Exam, Workout on Workout Machine/Treadmill, Be Friendly with a Classmate, Be Friendly with Faculty). During class time your sim will automatically do the class event like taking notes or an exam (classes can increase your sims skill level slightly in certain skills which is nice).

The issue of course is the bugs and time limits. The school is quite large with lots of empty space, so walking somewhere takes time. When you only have 1.5/2 hours, walking across a large lot can eat away at that. Not to mention how this can happen autonomously. For example, when I told my sim to study for the exam, she grabbed a book from the bookshelf, then walked across the entire school to sit down and study in the principals office, all the while passing countless chairs/benches. Or issues of trying to talk with a sim, and the sims then walking to the opposite end of the school to talk. Or when my sim went to the bathroom, she then automatically went to a sink on the other side of the school to wash her hands. This is annoying and stressful, because as mentioned, events in high school are timed. The walking distance issue is apparent also because your sim will automatically, 30 minutes prior to class, begin walking to class. And in my experience that usually just about makes it to class sometimes depending on location. My sim joined the after-school activity of cheerleading, and was late to her first meeting because when the clock hit 3:30 in the school (the time for the meeting) it took my sim probably a good 20 minutes or so to leave the school.

The only workaround i've found to make shit manageable was to use the cheat command of teleporting, so I can teleport a sim to where they need to go for a task, but that doesn't fix the autonomous pathfinding.

The only benefit I've found to going to school with the sim is the slight (only a few % points) gain to skills during classes. It's easy to become an A student and at that point I felt like there wasn't anything to do.

Puberty

Body hair is now a thing, it's cool ig. But also My teen sim was made fun of and made insecure because she has arm hair and leg hair and now has to shave it to avoid insecurity. Which sure is realistic but as someone who was and still is harassed about body hair, the insecurity/jokes aren't something I'm keen on. But I'm sure some people out there like the realism of things (hell I like mods that add realism to certain things).

Simfluencer

Theres a part time job as a Simfluencer. I had my young adult sim be a simfluencer. I've maxed out the new Entrepreneur skill, but the lifestyle reviews my sim writes are still of poor quality and I'm not sure how to change that. You can at max get $148 a day, because there are 2 hours of work a day, 5 days a week. You don't gain fame from it, so I guess ideally it works for a teen sim to bring in a little money. Overall though it felt like nothing and even after maxing the promotions (there's only 3 levels of the career) I had my sim switch careers.

Misc

There's a boardwalk area in the new world, it has some food stalls, a ferris wheel, a haunted house, and a tunnel of love. It's not it's own lot, though which is annoying, as I think it would be fun to like, idk, have sims have a first date or hang out with their friends there.

Sims will now randomly barge into your house and demand to be BFFs (yes! even when you're an adult!). I think the update also allowed for proposals like this? As in one household a love interest out of nowhere proposed marriage to my sim, and declining ruined the relationship.

If you want the pack, pirate it or something this isn't worth money.
