#I’m working on some stuff I promise ;-;

The man truly can’t take a genuine compliment 🙄

#my art stuff #digital art #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #astarion ancunin #this is part of a series I like to call “I’m never settling on a singular detailed artstyle” #I have no consistency in drawing realistic people/characters other than my shapy cartoon style #but I truly don’t get enough opportunity to properly shade anything with art in that style-!!! it always looks weird to me-!!!!! #I think some rude lil worm in my brain is wriggling around telling me it’s a futile attempt at still doing realism #cus I’m one of those “gifted” artists that grew up promising his parents he’ll end up among the big names or whatever #constantly training to become better at art but with realism oil paintings as the goal #you know how it is 😔 #I wanna shade my lil funky designs but they never feel good enough to really put energy into or whatever so I compromise with stuff - #- like this where I try to draw characters more accurately while still stylizing them and shading them however I feel like it #which is great and all but I should really learn to give my more relaxed and less perfectionist art a chance #I deserve to enjoy the process and the result without working myself dead #it’s so much easier and rewarding to copy cartoon styles - stylizing realism makes me too anxious of doing it “wrong” #at least cartoon styles give me a goal to reach or a reference to strive towards #man I really should just cut myself some slack altogether #either way - this man is a flustered mess and he’s embarrassed about being called adorable in public or something #being teased in an affectionate way about his sweeter side and stuff #don’t ask why he’s shirtless - anatomy is just a lot more fun for me to draw sometimes #tasteful nudity and all that is extremely gorgeous to me #i need to practice anatomy more cus I just kinda did some shit and went with it this time with a BIT of consideration for muscle structure

Question: if I started writing an original work and posted it on ao3, would anyone read it?

#I’ve had an idea for quite a while now but I don’t really care to see it published for real since it’s entirely self-indulgent… #I mean I think I might write it for me after all as practice #it’s kind of a mess so I’d be working on it as I go along but. Yeah #idk if a story about some messed up triplets with kind of solid light powers sounds interesting to you guys but it won’t leave my brain… #Not to worry! I am still writing my bsd fics!!! I’ve just been really busy with life stuff… and drained when I’m not… I’m trying promise :) #storyrambles

[tvrningout]

what if… i said i might wanna try writing on discord… how would we feel

#not long term! but in the event that i don’t have it in me to be here #bc ngl sometimes tumblr doesn’t help my mental state :’ ) #i just wanna have ways of still being able to write with some of my mutuals #and running a blog is a lot of work. trying to reach out and build interactions is a lot of work #and it’s fun work! but when i’m already feeling overwhelmed by my life outside of tumblr it can be a little much i think #i dunno i’m just thinking bc i don’t wanna feel disconnected from everyone i don’t wanna disappear for a few months like before #it’s very easy to just retreat into my bubble and keep to myself and leave people be but like :( i wanna keep bugging my friends on here :( #asdfgh i’m being silly but really i don’t wanna miss out on chatting with y’all and smushing our characters together #i worry about creating distance unintentionally bc i’m in a ‘rest’ period of my life #i’m rambling atp :’ ) but pls just know i care so much about y’all!! and i do miss y’all to bits!! #and just bc i’m not here doesn’t mean i’m not thinking about our dorks or cooking up new stuff to hit y’all with later hehe #but pls take care of yourselves pace yourselves be kind to yourselves #you deserve it i promise you do 💜 #get ready to ramble | ooc

Fandom: Buddy Daddies

Synopsis: Rei is curious about kissing and goes to Kazuki for help learning.

Rating: Teen? There’s just some swearing and a little bit of bisexual disaster Kazuki as a treat lol

For those who prefer to read on Ao3

The credits rolled on the movie Miri had picked out. They had been making their way through a collection of Princess movies for the past couple weeks. Neither Rei or Kazuki had seen any of them before, so they sometimes found themselves just as invested as Miri. Tonight’s movie was a modern adaptation of Rapunzel. It was a bit longer than most of the others had been, so Miri had fallen asleep in Kazuki’s lap about ¾ of the way through.

“I think that was my favorite one so far.” Kazuki said. He really did enjoy it, the characters were funny and the music was good. Not to mention the animation was really pretty. “Did you like it?” He asked Rei.

“Mmhm.” Rei was sitting on the other side of the couch with his knees pulled to his chest. He stared at the credits rolling on the screen.

“That one scene with the lanterns was really cool, and for once I actually liked her love interest,” Kazuki chuckled. Rei nodded, though it didn’t seem like he was really listening. “Yo, Earth to Rei?” Kazuki reached over and gently poked him in the shoulder.

“Sorry.” Rei glanced at him before looking down at his hands. He seemed like he was lost in thought

“Hey…It’s fine. What’s bothering you?” Kazuki asked in a much softer voice. Rei sighed, knowing Kazuki had seen right through him. He began picking at the dark blue polish Miri had painted on his nails a couple days ago.

“Why is there always a big dramatic kiss in these movies?” he mumbled.

“Huh? I don’t know… It’s just an easy way to show people are in love I guess?” Kazuki said slowly, trying to decipher what Rei was getting at. “Do you not want Miri watching stuff with kissing in it—“

“No that’s not it. Um…” Rei trailed off and rested his forehead on his knees. Kazuki watched him, patiently waiting for Rei to find the words. “I’m curious if I’m…missing out” it took Kazuki a moment to process what Rei meant.

“Rei…have you never kissed anyone?” Kazuki asked gently. Rei shook his head.

“Never really saw the point, but it seems like in every movie they make such a big deal about it. But I don’t know how to do it or who I’d...” Rei trailed off again and turned his head away. Kazuki couldn’t help but chuckle a bit at how shy he was being about this.

“It’s not hard dude. Plus, you’re an objectively attractive guy. If you actually went out you’d have no problem finding a girl willing to kiss you, or a guy if that’s what you’re into.” Kazuki said.

Rei took a deep breath and raised his eyes to meet Kazuki’s. “Can you show me what it’s like?”

“Show you what— Wait! Are you asking me to kiss you?” Kazuki stammered. Rei looked back down sheepishly.

“You don’t have too. I’d just rather try it with someone I trust. And I trust you…” Rei said in a voice barely above a whisper. This was clearly bothering him a lot, and Kazuki wanted to help. Besides, it was just a kiss, he had done a lot more than kiss people for jobs before.

“Sure. Why not?” Kazuki laughed, trying to ease some of Rei’s tension.

“Really?” Rei’s eyes snapped up to him.

“Yeah. Let me just put Miri to bed.” Kazuki said with a smile. He gingerly picked her up. “Be right back.” He added before carrying her to her room.

He slowly laid Miri down on her bed. She didn’t even stir as he tucked her in. Kazuki took a moment to linger and watch her sleep, self doubt creeping into his mind. Was this really a good idea? What if it makes things awkward? Then he remembered that this was Rei. Even if they both hated it, or if one of them liked it but not the other, Kazuki knew that it would take a lot more than that to drive a wedge between them.

Feeling reassured, Kazuki gave Miri a little peck on the forehead before going back out to the living room. Rei was pacing back and forth in the kitchen waiting for Kazuki to return. As soon as Kazuki rounded the corner, Rei walked up to him, stopping when they were about a foot away from each other.

Rei was a highly skilled assassin who had stared death in the face countless times without flinching, yet as he looked at Kazuki, he started to shake.

Pffft…he’s so nervous… it’s kind of cute. Kazuki thought to himself. Rei reached out and grazed Kazuki’s sweater with his fingertips, unsure of where to place his hand. Kazuki gave him a reassuring smile, but Rei averted his eyes. It seemed like a million thoughts were going through his head as his cheeks got more and more pink.

“I can lead if you want,” Kazuki offered, feeling warmth creeping into his own face.

“NO!” Rei said sharply, turning his head away. He was trembling even more now. Kazuki began to worry that Rei was psyching himself out too much.

“Rei…You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. It’s okay” Kazuki said softly.

“I’m fine!” Kazuki was about to argue that Rei didn’t seem fine when Rei turned back to him and clumsily clasped his face with both hands. Kazuki’s eyebrows raised in surprise at his sudden boldness “I’m fine.” Rei repeated, mostly to himself, as he looked at Kazuki’s mouth. Kazuki’s heart beat faster and faster the longer he stared

Then Rei tilted his head up to meet Kazuki’s eyes. The tips of their noses brushing against each other. “Just…stay like this,” He requested, his hands inched down Kazuki’s neck.

Holy shit… Something about the determined but vulnerable look on Rei’s face set Kazuki’s insides ablaze. He never realized just how gorgeous Rei’s stormy blue eyes were, and his skin was so soft…so warm. I wonder if his lips are this soft. Almost as if he was in a trance, Kazuki reached up and traced his finger along the corner of Rei’s mouth. Rei let out a little gasp and put his hand on Kazuki’s chest.

That sound. That little fucking sound he made just about drove Kazuki to the edge of madness. It was sexy. He wanted to see what other sounds he could make Rei make. Kazuki had been with his fair share of people, but he never wanted somebody more than he wanted Rei right now.

His fingers tangled in Rei’s hair as he cupped the side of his head and pulled him closer. It took every shred of self control to not devour Rei right then and there, but Kazuki reminded himself that Rei had never done this before and was nervous as hell, so he stopped himself an inch away from Rei’s lips. He closed his eyes to resist the magnetic force of Rei’s gaze.

“Whenever you’re ready.” Kazuki whispered, though every second of waiting was agony. Rei’s breath ghosted across his lips and sent jolts of electricity up and down his spine.

After what felt like an eternity (but was probably only a moment), Rei finally closed the distance. Kazuki couldn’t help but let out a soft groan at the feeling of Rei’s lips on his. It was too much and not enough all at the same time. Kazuki never thought a chaste kiss like this could feel so euphoric.

Although the absolute last thing Kazuki wanted to do was stop, he realized Rei had been fairly stiff this whole time, so he pulled back to check in.

“You alright?” Kazuki exhaled.

Rei stared up at him, eyes wide and starstruck. He nodded slowly. God he’s adorable. Kazuki thought to himself. “Can we…do that again?”

“Hell yeah.” Kazuki said in a husky voice before diving in and kissing him again. Rei smiled against his lips and wrapped his arms around Kazuki’s neck. Kazuki responded by putting his hands on Rei’s waist and pulling their bodies flush together. Now that he had seen this side of Rei, he couldn’t get enough.

I wish you guys could live in this fic with me because even if it turns out as the best thing I’ve ever written it’s still never going to be what it is in my head. So I guess I can only hope it’s still something good in yours.

#it’s making me happier than fic writing has in such a long time #like maybe happier than the vampire au? #which btw I promise I haven’t abandoned #stuff is in the works #anyway I know I’ll hit a snag at some point and be cursing this fics name #but until then I’m all 😍😍😍 all the time babyyyy

[taliskermortem]

honestly I’m pretty pissed off about that preview like they couldn’t even give us one nice week after finding out seongho left the message for junseong

#and honestly I’m going to start getting annoyed with seongho soon #not because he has feelings for someone other than junseong he’s totally in his right to not return those feelings #but I just don’t understand how he is so under Seonwoos spell #the only times that guy has been genuinely sincere are when he’s pissed of that junseong isn’t paying attention to him #like I didn’t notice it the first time but on the second rewatch from the start it’s junseongs attention he wants #and part of me feels like everything else that’s happened since is because he was made junseong never called him back on the second day #like he had three calls but was still sulky that junseong wasn’t one of them #and now that he knows junseong has such strong feelings for someone else and he doesn’t stand a chance #it feels like he’s panicking because he doesn’t want to loose face #so he’s clinging to seongho when actually I’m not sure any of his feelings for seongho are genuine #you’re special to me yeah yeah like a good little brother maybe #sorry I’m really mad #I woke up early to watch some of it and watch the junseongho date and then skipped to the voicemails just to check #and then they ended it like that #I get trying to keep people engaged but this is just irritating #anyway I have to go to work #I promise I’ll be happy and gush about the good stuff we got later #LIKE SEONGHO DID CALL JUNSEONG THANK GOD #but yeah for the minute I’m really mad #his man 2

Hey bestie! Loving An Empire For Two. Any updates?

hiii tina!!!

i’m so happy you’re liking an empire for two 🥹❤️. it’s one of my favourite fics i’ve written so far and i sometimes worry that i might have gone too niche with the storyline.

i’m more or less done with the next chapter! which has been written since last year, UNFORTUNATELY, despite having the urge to write most days, i’ve been so busy (moving into a new flat + work has been crazy).

i should be updating empire + a few more of my fics in the coming weeks as i’m slowly coming back to all of my work now.

for now, here’s a little snippet of the beginning of chapter six especially for you <3:

chapter six : winter sound

rickon — but my voice is suffocating

Sleep still clouded his mind on that one misty morning. Much like every morning, his brothers and sisters made far too much noise. There were no raised voices to make it loud by any means, it was merely the fact that there were so many of them.

“Rickon, I’d like you to sup with me tonight. The three Mormont ladies will be joining us.”

That had woken him up easy enough. Rickon stared across the table at his oldest brother with his spoon of porridge still midair.

Robb gazed back at him blankly, all the rest of them quiet as they awaited a snarky retort. It never came, Rickon merely rolled his eyes and continued his breakfast.

“Bet you’ll like that,” Bran mumbled at his side.

Rickon glanced at his brother. He hadn’t seen Lyanna since his nameday feast and the kiss they had shared. He brought his fingers to the cut that healed steadily on his neck and anticipation began building.

“I think you should keep your mouth shut,” Rickon warned his older brother.

He was known to be impulsive– telling Bran every sordid detail about his life was one of those impulses he needed to work on controlling.

“Have you seen her since?”

Rickon eyed the rest of his siblings, noting that they were far too involved in their own conversations to care about what he and Bran were whispering about.

“I haven’t,” Rickon answered firmly.

“What will you do?”

Rickon glared at his brother. There was no forgetting how nosey Bran was. He was regardless, grateful to have someone to talk to.

He thought about his brother’s question. “Get drunk,” he said to Bran. “Her sisters will be there, I can’t quite grope her under the table.”

Bran let out a burst of laughter, causing a few stares. Rickon felt his anger start at his brother’s indiscretion.

I am trying so hard to save money lately, but it is so hard, especially when there are so many things that make me want to spend. the latest temptation is that I really would love to participate in a Make-Along this spring, but don’t know if I can justify spending $60+ on the yarn kit for it (especially when I already have a whole closet-full of yarn from my workplace from when we had a big inventory clear-out last year)

#I’ve never done a make along and I just think it would be super fun?? a fun thing to keep me motivated and give some low-key enjoyment #and a way to destress over the next few months (which are guaranteed to be hectic and stressful) #and there’s a super cool mystery make along gearing up right now that looks really fun #and if I don’t end up liking the finished product I’d be more than happy to gift it to someone else #and there’s both a crochet and knit version of the pattern #and while I would *rather* do the knitted one (I just seem to enjoy knitting more lately for some reason?) the price for that kit is at #least double the price for the crochet one #so I think I could just resign myself to doing the crochet version and it would all be fine. but I’m still stuck trying to figure out if I #can justify dropping $60 for it 🙃 #the one thing I’m telling myself could help make it worthwhile is that I really cannot crochet while watching tv as easily as I can knit #but I *can* listen to audiobooks #and my Read The Bible In A Year plan is using an audio Bible #so maybe I could promise myself that I’m only going to listen to my Bible readings while I work on this project and it could be a #good motivator for me? #idk girls. decisions are silly and dumb. love having a free will and all that but sometimes it’s irritating as all get-out. #especially when it comes to these little goofy probably-inconsequential things that I always manage to agonize over forever :P #gurt says stuff
