Tastes Don't Change

Read Garnets and Amethysts

A/N: Mad tastes Mare again for the first time since he was turned. Big thanks to @iamvegorott for beta reading this and helping grow my confidence!

Warnings: this is just smut. There biting and hickeys and blood drinking, and this was a self-indulgent deep dive to see if I could expound on a MadMare blowjob scene. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

--

Mad bit gently on Mare’s bottom lip, tugging on it before pulling away, hands finding their place on Mare’s hips, stopping him from bucking against Mad. Nipping at his jaw, Mad slowly moved down, kissing his pulse point and pressing his fangs against the vein, then working toward Mare’s claim mark, sucking purple marks into his neck and shoulder on the way.

Mare gasped when Mad licked over his claim mark, grip tightening on his shoulder and in his hair as Mad sucked at the mark, gently pushing his teeth into the scar. He groaned, unable to move his hips from Mad’s strong grip on them, and he instead turned his face into Mad’s hair, inhaling the strong smell of the man atop him.

“God, Mad…” he breathed, hands twitching when Mad removed his teeth from the mark, grip loose on him as he continued to move down. Mare relished the feeling of Mad’s tongue and teeth teasing his nipple, moving so both hands were tangled in Mad’s hair as he kissed lower, pressing warm lips to his waist and hipbones.

Mad kept Mare’s hips still, pushing him into the mattress as he pecked at the juncture where his legs met his hips, pinching the soft skin between his teeth before pulling away, moving just his eyes to look up at Mare, smirking at his flushed face.

In a blink, Mad was capturing Mare’s lips in a heated kiss, tongue invading his mouth and pressing against his sensitive fangs, swallowing the sounds Mare made as his grip tightened in Mad’s hair, following his head as he crawled back down Mare’s body to nip at his inner thighs.

Sinking his teeth into the plush flesh, Mad had a few swallows of Mare’s new blood before removing his teeth, pressing his cheek to the flesh and looking up at Mare, one hand moving from his hip to lay just above his dick, soft touch on his skin making him shiver.

“Mad, please…” Mare groaned, shifting his grip in Mad’s hair to pull him closer to where he needed him most, letting out a shuddering breath when Mad blew gently on the heated skin. “Mad, stop teasing…”

Mad wished he could record the sound Mare made when he lowered onto his dick, taking as much as he could fit into his mouth. Whatever didn’t fit, Mad wrapped his hand around and began to pump, bobbing his head and swirling his tongue.

Mare tightened his grip in Mad’s hair, not forcing but encouraging as Mad continued his ministrations, whining when he still couldn’t buck his hips, Mad’s one-handed grip strong enough to keep him down. One hand left Mad’s head to sit over his hand, trying in vain to separate it so he could hold Mad’s hand, instead gripping his wrist when Mad tightened his hold.

Mad could taste Mare’s desperation in his mouth, feeling his dick twitch against his tongue, and he quickly pulled off, hand still wrapped around the heated member as he returned to kissing and marking his inner thighs.

“Mad!” Mare shouted, looking down his body at Mad as he lifted his eyes to look at him, and the heated look in those eyes almost had Mare reaching his climax. “Please, Mad,” he panted, “don’t prolong this.”

He almost screamed when Mad was swallowing him down in a flash, body stilling as he came down Mad’s throat, tears in the corners of his eyes as he dug his nails into Mad’s wrist. Mad finally let his hips go, twisting his wrist to entwine their fingers as he swallowed down Mare’s release, letting his dick fall from his mouth and returning to his place with his cheek against Mare’s thigh.

“God, Mad…” Mare gasped, carding his fingers through Mad’s hair as he came down from his high. “That felt so good.” He giggled as Mad crawled back up his body, catching him in a kiss and letting him taste himself on Mad’s tongue, hand moving from his hair to the back of his neck to pull him closer.

“I love you, Mare,” Mad whispered against Mare’s lips, pressing their entwined hands into the pillow by his head. Mare kissed him again, hand sliding down Mad’s body to rest in the curve of his back, breath hitching when Mad rocked his hips down.

“Let me show you how much I love you,” Mare grinned against Mad’s lips, flipping them over and kissing him again.

Haven't gotten my midterm back but Prof. Orogenies said the question I asked today was a good one. Given how insecure I always feel in that class I'll take any sign of improvement.

I think it goes beyond a praise kink when I call myself a good boy after sending emails

girl who constantly feels like they're in trouble and did something wrong

#omg kiera no one cares #the precursor to girl who needs reassurance but would rather die blah blah #anyway nothing happened im not in trouble I just feel guilty

#ria life #listen this is a really big rule for myself that i might break #i need the reassurance

[lazylittledragon]

the thing that i love so much about my relationship is that i feel absolutely zero pressure for us to be in eachother's pockets constantly. not just in the way that we like to have our own space sometimes but that i don't feel guilty for getting fixated on a project and not texting him or leaving him on read for a few hours. we have a system where i just say "i'm so sorry, i fell down the Art Hole again" and he says "that's ok, was the art hole fun, can i see what you did in there?". or if i have a feeling i'm going to draw until late at night i'll be like "pre warning, i might be in the art hole this evening" and when i'm done he's texted me goodnight anyway.

tldr: find someone who doesn't get mad at you for crawling into a hole and instead helps you out of the hole and asks what you saw down there

#ramble #G i know you don't tumblr but if you ever see this i adore you #context: one of my exes got upset when i started my webcomic because it meant i would be giving her slightly less attention #and another one asked me to stop sending her my art entirely and that kind of thing doesn't leave you y'know #i'm very glad i'm with someone that doesn't make me feel like we need to be texting 12 hours a day to reassure myself that he still loves m #because i already know he does :')))

Being on the ace spec with aesthetic attraction is so rad like 'nooo pls stop taking your clothes off you look so hot having them on' :(

#pls tell me this makes sense #i need to be reassured that this happens #bc I swear I'm so always like this watching shows where a character undressing is supposed to be spicy but all it brings is disappointment #and picturing someone naked is an immediate turn off #asexuality #asexual spectrum #greysexual #lgbtqia #text post

Quackity: These past days I've been in many calls, and I'm not done yet. I've spoken to a lot of people and creators. I've read your comments and I'm well aware of what needs to be done to carry out this project. I want to tell you all, beforehand, that for me the team's well-being is fundamental. I'm very involved in this topic to sort it out and I want to make that very clear. I want to tell you something... I want to tell you all that the administrative staff responsible for so much harm to the project has been fired. Specifically, those who made decisions without my permission, affecting the administrative and financial area of the project. Consequently, after this, I was in charge of doing a financial analysis that's carrying out for the QSMP.

Guys, to be really honest, it was not going to last. Therefore, I've had to make deep drastic structural changes that have lead me to reduce the performance of the server down to the most essential, and this is in order to ensure the well being of everyone involved in it. Having said this, I want to give a very important update: I want to let you all know that the QSMP will have to slow down temporarily. This is to ensure this new structure adapts to the project, because it's a restructuring that's taking place. I'm letting you know, and I reiterate, there are no voluntary positions inside the QSMP.

At the moment, there will not be any more individual update accounts of all 5 existing languages in the project. In any case, during this transition, there's going to be a temporal absence of all Eggs and NPCs. I know these are difficult changes, and I repeat, it's temporary until we adjust to these new conditions that will improve the performance of this new structure that's being made from scratch, both in the administrative and financial part. I'd like to reintegrate people fro the QSMP as time goes by if a financial viability can be found for the project Taking advantage of this update to tell you guys that within the changes of the server as it is, creators will have full control of their lore and stories. The team will not intervene in the way that it was being done. Moreover, efforts will be made to change the competitive dynamics inside the game so as to ease up the game style for the creators. Like I'm saying, all of these changes, and more, are being carrying out to have the project as best as possible, and they're being done little by little. This is a whole new structure that will ensure the best continuity and experience for the creators, the community and the team behind.

Guys, I want to make very clear that this is restructuring process, and again, it's not a fast one. The server being open does not mean everything's perfect, I understand that very well. Conversations will keep taking place, communication will continue and the constant improvement of the project as well. I ask, please, for everyone's patience and understanding regarding all changes. Please do wait for official announcements since a lot of incomplete and incorrect information is being spread. I want to tell you all something- if you don't trust in these changes or have many doubts about it, and don't want to consume any more of the project's content, I understand 100%. I have a personal commitment with the QSMP and I will work until it functions in the way it is supposed to do.

Lastly, I want to let you know that it was being worked on for months on finalizing the integration of Korean creators to the QSMP. For that reason, tomorrow we will be welcoming the new Korean creators of the QSMP, of course, taking into account all the changes I've just mentioned. I hope you can give the new Korean members warm welcome to the project. And as you know, their schedules are earlier. For everyone who would like to watch, they will be joining at 11am Mexico time and at 9am US time. Basically, I wanted to give that update regarding everything that's being done within the project. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding- these are necessary changes and I'm glad they're being done now. And many more things will keep being adjusted.

Let the latest patches add whatever new dialogue they write in, but Patch 0 gave me free range to ✨interpret✨ and this will forever be Greygold's canon, HA

For all intents, I did the hell heist as the last-last quest before the finale (So as to be fully prepared and supportive "finishing" babe's personal quest) AND BECAUSE OF THIS, I was tired. Greygold was tired. I was ready to beat the game. I was rushing. STEALING FROM RAPHAEL WAS STRESSING ME OUT. and I dared not go back. So even though Greygold did not want to go through with Haarlep's "game", I couldn't have picked a worse time to forget about their "always another way" philosophy Poor Half-orc was so determined not to fail Lae'zel's personal quest that, for once, ignored companion disapproval. And apparently, with Lae'zel not disapproving nakey Greygy, it looked like Babe was willing to retrieve that hammer no matter the cost either! Until Haarlep said they wanted nakey Greygy to play a "game" with them.

Babe disapproved that time. Babe, who's been cranky all this time, thought not even this way was worth getting the hammer for. Babe still cared about what happened to Greygold.

So by the gods, I happily reloaded and thankfully found a different way, HUAH. Thank you, Babe. Found out later that apparently going the Haarlep way would've suuuuucked. Saved by the babe. Thus I concluded why Babe was so cranky and can't kiss to save her life (I'm looking at you patch 6). And why Greygold's never had another hrm- pleasant conversation with Emps since the last time.

Poor sleep-deprived Lae'zel was bugged as hell killer coconut not because she was mad at Greyg, but because she'd been burning through all of her energy and affection by trying to protect Greygold from any further illithidry influence.

#bg3 spoilers #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #lae'zel #haarlep #greygold #bg3 fanart #bg3 comic #may not be a silly but was quite a pinnacle perception change/interpretation I had for Lae'zel #IT JUST FELT REALLY REASSURING TO KNOW LAE'ZEL STILL CARED BY NOT WANTING GREYG TO MAKE DUMB DECISIONS AFTER ALL THE BUGGED BEHAVIOR #GREYG'S LOVE LIFE WASN'T A MESS AS I THOUGHT IT WAS HA (it still was but not like a -hopeless- mess) I HAD HOPE AGAIN #HOUSE OF PINA COLADA HOPE #obviously Lae'zel kept those exhaustion points at bay by sleeping in camp during the day when not adventuring with Greygold #who needs buggy patch 6 kisses when I can DRAW MY OWN huehhuehHAR #Me.

small details in X-Men '97 that rip my heart and serve it on a plate:

this gesture here - Magneto being the one in the party to acknowledge Morph's trauma and what a big ask it is to revisit their past. He knows. He's been there before. And wants Morph to know he's not alone.

[ID: Two page comic in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. The first page has a black background and the upper half, behind the panels, is splattered with stylized red blood, scattered bullets, and lifeless hands. In the first panel, it focuses on Vash's boots, showing him stepping through the panel and into the bloody scene. The second panel shows his bloody footprints and the third panel shows his face, his down-turned eyes looking downwards. It's a neutral, vague expression with confliction. At the bottom of the page, the back of Wolfwood's head and shoulder is seen, blood dirtying the white color of his shirt and side of his face. Vash's hand reaches out to him from the right side of the page.

The second page shows the entire scene in full, half the page in light and the other in solid black. At the center, Vash leans down onto his knees as he wraps his arms around Wolfwood's shoulders into a hug. Wolfwood's back is turned away from the viewer, his left arm holds onto his bloodied punisher and his right hand sits on his lap. Light casts from the left side of the page, showing the bloodied surrounding, but the held up punisher casts a shadow on the both of them, shielding them from the light. END ID]

Having a resurgence of insecurity, anxiety, or frustration around something that you forgave or that happened a long time ago is not wrong. Things we have forgiven can upset us, they can come back up and bring insecurity. You are not holding onto something unfairly by still being affected by it. There is a difference between shoving a past mistake in someone's face and saying that it still hurts sometimes to think about it.
