I feel like every Space Ghost comic since 2005 is more interested in appealing to the dozen people left that love Space Ghost but hated Coast to Coast, apposed to actually working with the excellent characters and world building that Space Ghost and friends revived after the 80s. I'm not convicted we aren't going to get a Space Ghost comic better than a 7/10 by numbers space adventure until we get a Space Ghost comic that can admit the talkshow wasn't a mistake but was actually excellent. At least we still have that new episode of Jellystone to celebrate Coast to Coast turning 30 this year
See, the thing for me is that I do love the original '66 cartoon, independent of my existing love for c2c, but I still really dislike the post-'05 comics! They DON'T appeal to me because to give Space Ghost a super serious backstory and raise the stakes of his adventures and make him gritty and brooding (*unironically* brooding, as opposed to c2c) is to betray everything that worked about the OG and made it fun. More under the cut.
I *like* that he has a million different, incredibly specific rays on his power bands based exclusively on what kind of trap he's been caught in. I *like* that he constantly announces what's going on to the audience even though this is a cartoon and they're already looking at the screen. I *like* that the villains aren't super violent or threatening, even when they do things like taking Jan & Jace hostage. It's a lot like the Batman series from the same year, but Space Ghost was a cartoon that shared its own episodes with a *different* cartoon so each one has about 1/5th of the airtime to work with. And it worked! In part because of the stuff I already listed, and in part because it was committed to itself. "We have 7 minutes to take the children of America on an epic space adventure, and that's what we're going to do, dammit!" I can imagine the writers saying.
The other thing about the whole situation is, Batman had time to become gritty. You could argue he pioneered it, in fact. In the time that Batman was influencing the landscape of modern superhero comics, Space Ghost was... doing the talk show. And Cartoon Network comics about the talk show. When the '05-'06 comics tried to jump straight into full grit, basing the tone on what was already on the shelves in '05-'06, there was no buffer for that. It's especially jarring because Coast to Coast and The Brak Show were still freshly cancelled at the time, so that was likely the version most familiar to a lot of comic book shop regulars who picked it up. Maybe they loved it then, IDK. I haven't looked at contemporary reviews. When I read it maybe a year ago I thought it was so self-serious that it was trying to *shake off* its predecessors, like, "No, that stuff is dumb, we're trying to be Batman In Space now! It's so cool and grand!" And it wasn't NOT those things, especially because the art is legitimately really good, but it also didn't feel anything like Space Ghost. A "modern reboot" of the series would have to straddle that line for much longer for me to get into it, taking itself seriously but keeping itself fun first & foremost. Also I hate the way they redesigned and wrote Zorak.

Literally gripping execs by the neck I will never give you my money again. Unless it isn't a reboot/remake. I will not hatewatch. I will not EVEN pirate. I don't care anymore and I will do everything in my power to encourage and educate my peers and anyone who will listen to me rant about this. I WILL donate to artists and writers who provide content. I will go to theaters to watch films which are Your Industry Doing What It Is Supposed To Do.

I've just been playing the new cotl update for most of the day and I'm so so close to being done with the main new story bits I think but it's also past midnight but also I'm so excited idk if I'll be able to sleep but also god damn do I need to sleep
#rat rambles#and I know I wont have long to play when I wake up tomorrow since my friends will probably wanna continue our dont starve save#and I wanna too which is why I wont say no if they do but also aghhhhhh#Ill be able to finish it once they have to go to bed but thats so long Ill have to wait 😔#anyways I saved kalamar for last since hes the hardest originally but based off my current load out I think Ill be fine#aka literally every other bishop died in seconds due to my bomb demon being over level 30 lol#Im so glad they seem to scale further now its soooooo funny walking into a room with a boss and just watching them immediately explode#also Ive been using the golden fleece more and its been going pretty well#I got up to over 500% damage one run that was cool#Ive barely been touching the heavy attacks tho but tbf thats partially cause of keyboard mapping#Ive been having so so much fun with this update tho even if Im not a huge fan of a few aspects#this has brought so much more life to the combat portion to the game for me I havent had this much fun with the combat in a while#I do still need to collect all the rellics tho Im working on it#I also feel like I should buy all the new cards but man. none of them seem very appealing to me tbh#that is one of my big problems with cotl in general getting new cards can make it harder to get the more fun or useful ones#most of the actually useful cards are the base ones or ones given to you mostly for free#everything else is mildy useful or at least fun at best and actively useless at worst#like. ooo drop ichor on hit. wow. honestly give me deaths door at that point like jesus

Ben Drowned is hands-down one of the funniest creepypastas ever because like. it singlehandedly cemented the setup of "woah guys i found this N64 game at a garage sale and it's HAUNTED!!!!" as a cliche. this guy named Jadusable kept posting videos showing his copy of Majora's Mask with fucked up glitches, like Link being constantly on fire and screaming, or having his upper body rotated 90 degrees, or having NPCs say ominous shit to him, etc. you really need to watch the original video for the full experience (assuming you havent already), but if you haven't, at least watch this one starting around 2:30:
youtube
so Jadusable posts the "final" update to his story and his forum account goes dark. in the canon of his creepypasta, he's straight up dead (killed by the haunted game cartridge), and he seems to be sticking to it by not posting anything. theories ran wild - was it an elaborate scam? could it have all been true?
years later, on April 1st 2012, with no announcement or fanfare, Jadusable posts the following video, "king kong.wmv", following the naming scheme of his previous videos. skip to 1:30ish.
youtube
when i tell you the people who took the creepypasta seriously for years were MAD mad

i told y’all. i told y’all i was gonna go crazy over this post made by @gummy-goat-galaxy​
full disclosure i drew literally all of this before looking into the details of the AU so this is 70% my interpretation of his original post but i need to explain my thought process so. here’s the post explaining the details of the actual AU!!! and below is what my brain made up on the spot
ok so belos finds tiny child luz and is like “fuck everyone. this is mine now” and treats her like a goddamn princess. to him, she is a Gift From God to remind him to stay on his Righteous Path. an innocent little girl who is just so bubbly and always tries to see the good in everything, including him. she is a reminder of how Pure and Good humanity is, and seeing as though she’s the literal only human he’s had any contact with besides caleb in 400 fucking years, he is never letting the demon realm corrupt her like it did to him.
she’s basically his Lamb and he the Shepherd, and because he’s so desperate to keep her “““pure”““ he strictly keeps her within the castle and even then not all of the castle is available to her. he keeps her contact with witches to an absolute bare minimum.
he entrusts her protection specifically to hunter, despite the fact he’s only 2 years older. his reasoning is “caleb did a pretty good job raising me so this’ll be fine probably.” when belos himself cannot keep an eye on her, it’s hunter’s job. luz and hunter end up being raised in a sorta similar situation to catra & adora from she-ra but they are actually siblings and not just best friends.
(if u havent seen she-ra, basically its their abusive caretaker creating a golden child + scapegoat dynamic, where one kid can do absolutely no wrong (which doesnt mean they cant still be abused/manipulated!!) while the other kid is blamed for literally everything that goes wrong. the caretaker also regularly pits them against each other to encourage competition & keep the all power in the caretaker’s hands.)
similar to catra & adora, the whole competition thing doesnt really work. luz is just too damn kind and too damn good for hunter to ever resent her, and she’s all he really has. because hunter is the scapegoat, he grows wise to belos’s manipulations WAY sooner. it’s easier to figure out when you’re being mistreated when you literally watch ur guardian treating ur sibling so much better than how they treat u.
unfortunately, because luz cannot help but see the good in absolutely everyone and can be empathetic to a fault, she doesnt realize belos’s game until she ends up sneaking out of the castle. she actually really loves belos and is thankful for him taking her in for a long time. she calls him uncle like hunter, despite belos nudging her towards seeing him as a father bcus he sees her as a pseudo-daughter. (but luz remembers her dad, and has no desire to replace him with someone else no matter how much she cares for belos)
belos does love & adore luz, he would do almost anything to keep her happy and “innocent” and “pure”, but not to the extent that he could still end up redeemed. he still manipulates & subtly emotionally abuses her to keep her in line, but it’s only when she sneaks out and meets eda the owl lady does she start getting clued into this. and once luz learns what belos has done to hunter it’s all fucking over.
hunter loves luz. she is his sister and always will be. but while he’s stuck to belos because of his duties as golden guard, she sees how green the grass is on the other side and doesn’t even hesitate to hop over there. watching her slowly grow more and more distant while she keeps sneaking out to visit with her new friends (eda, king, willow, gus, amity, etc.) is one of the most painful things hunter has had to deal with.
he feels betrayed at first, as if luz is replacing him with other people who arent broken like he is, and when luz actually leaves for good- belos lies to the public and says she was kidnapped- hunter is the one who leads the hunt to find her and bring her back home safely. when they confront each other, luz tries to do her whole dramatic speech about how wrong belos is and how he’s been lying their whole lives, but hunter already knows. the only reason he stayed was for luz, but she couldnt even stay from him? it fuckin hurts man.
they end up on opposite sides for a minute. hunter gains no satisfaction from trying to ruin this new life she’s found for herself but goddamnit, he has a job to do. he cant just defect. and then he defects after watching belos try to kill luz because she’s let herself become corrupted by the witches.
thats about all my brain got for this so far. TL;DR basically just listen to the “first time in forever” and “mother knows best reprise” and “broken crown” by mumford & sons and thats pretty much the gist of it.

MATT STURNIOLO X F!READER
warnings: SMUT, sub!matt/dom!reader, mommy kink, every sort of pet name related to “ma” in the book (bc i can’t help myself)
a/n: i havent written for matt in forever and i originally had so many other fics that i wanted to put out first but my writers block has been terrible and this is what came out of it so!
wc: 1461 - short but
SYNOPSIS: An innocent movie night gets interrupted by Matt’s impatient need for you..
-
The night had started off tame, lying in bed and turning on a movie for you and your boyfriend to watch. It was the weekend so neither of you had any worries for waking up early the next day.
Matt had surprised you by knocking on your door a few hours earlier, stating - with a soft blush - that he just wanted to spend some time with you. And who were you to disagree?
Once you both had gathered some snacks and made your way into your bedroom to lay on the soft mattress, you scrolled through your tv to find the right movie. As soon as the sound began to fill the room, Matt rushes in and lies himself on top of you. A laugh leaves your mouth at his actions, immediately wrapping your arms around his neck. With his back resting against your front, his eyes wander the tv screen, the bright reflection glaring on his face.
A couple minutes into the movie, your hand subconsciously winds up above his head, brushing your hands through his soft hair. Matt sighs as you gently untangle tiny knots that had formed throughout the day, slowly beginning to rest most of his weight on top of you.
It doesn’t take long before Matt moves slightly, deciding to rest his head on your shoulder rather than against your chest. You pay no mind to it as you let your hands fall back to his torso, laying them there as you’re transfixed by the movie. With a soft whine that barely caught your ears, Matt shifted slightly trying to catch your attention. You knew what he was doing, but you ignored him, letting him work for it.
Whispering your name, Matt looks up at you as your eyes are still watching the screen in front of you. You hum in response, not giving him your full attention. Another whine emits from his throat, nuzzling his nose into your neck. His lips were soft against your skin, leaving gentle kisses against it. His hands envelope yours as he begins to guide them down his body.
“What’re you doing, Matt?” You patronize him, stopping his movements and holding the bottom of his short shirt. It was small enough that, in his position, it rode up, exposing his lower stomach and happy trail.
In response, the man above you nips on your skin, making your jaw clench. “Please, ma. I need you.” He mumbles, as if he doesn’t want anyone else to hear his plea. His pink lips brush against your skin every time he talks, tickling the sensitive area. Your hand teases the waistband of his boxers that peaked out of his pants. Matt’s hands move over yours again, forcefully pulling your dominant one over the bulge in his sweatpants. A sigh escapes his lips at the contact, his tense body starting to relax at your touch.
“So needy,” you tsk, squeezing lightly before removing your hand. Matt’s mouth opens to complain before he quickly shuts up once your hands make their way under his boxers. He lifts up his hips to help you pull them down, leaving them alone once you can’t see them under the comforter. Gliding your fingertips over his hipbone, Matt’s breathing hitches as he waits impatiently.
“Since you decided to use my hands without permission, you can get yourself off.” You say sternly, looking down at his pleading eyes. Matt’s eyebrows scrunch up in distress, his voice seeming to jump higher as he beseeches. “You can either cum from your hand or not at all.” You give him an ultimatum, your serious demeanor never shifting.
With a short whine, Matt doesn’t take his eyes off of yours as his hand glides down his body. His lips part at the first touch, aching to get a reaction out of you. Your hands rest against his waist, watching him carefully. He bathes in your attention, seemingly wanting to put a show on for you.
Matt’s breathing begins pick up as his chest starts to rise and fall heavier. The slight muscles in his arms tense every time he moves his hand, letting your eyes bask in the sight.
“Please,” his plea was quiet, on the verge of a whisper. “Please, I need you.” His voice cracked softly, showing his desperation. Your lips curl up at his desire for you, knowing that you were the only one that had a say in anything in that moment.
“Yeah? You need me, baby?” You reply, your tone sickeningly sweet. With a light of hope in his eyes, Matt nods quickly, fastening the pace of his hand against himself. “That’s too bad.” One of your hand travels up and wraps itself against his neck, keeping him in his current position: his head against your shoulder, staring up at you with lust-filled eyes and an agape mouth.
With an irritated groan leaving him, Matt tightens his hand and tries to twist his wrist the same way you do. Whining pitifully once he realizes he can’t do it, he arches his back slightly, trying his best to get you to cave into him and his body.
“Please, mommy,” he pouts, his opposite hand reaching back to smooth over your thigh that was beside him. “I need to feel you.” Licking your tongue over your teeth, you try not to cave into his begging. You dig your nails into the skin of his hip, getting a whimper out of his mouth in return. Your hand subconsciously squeezes his throat, enough to warn him but not enough to restrict his airway.
“So fucking pathetic.” You make sure to look into his eyes as you speak, his eyebrows turning up submissively as he listens to you belittle him.
“Only for you.” Matt replies, an involuntary groan leaving his lips seconds later. His hand moves faster as seconds go by, never taking his eyes away from yours. Something about your glare tantalizes him as the knot in his stomach begins to rip. His messy hair was plastered to his forehead, beads of sweat beginning to form by his hairline. His pretty pink lips never shut as delicious moans escape, pleading with you to have mercy on him.
“Please, mommy, I can’t,” Matt’s whines get louder as he grows frustrated. His touch is nothing compared to yours and the way you handle him. He needs to feel the grooves of your hands on him, the harsh yet delicate way you control him. His hips thrust up into his fist, getting desperate. Short fingernails pierce the skin on your thigh, shocking you out of your daze. “I’ve been so good, just… please touch me.” Matt heaves out, his glistening blue eyes slowly making you give in to him.
He breathes out a sigh of relief once you remove his own hand, replacing it with yours. Your opposite hand loosens around his throat, resting there instead of choking him. Wrapping your soft hand around him, Matt gasps out a groan at the initial contact. Arching his back slightly, his eyes close in pleasure as you move against him.
“Fuck, ‘feels so good, mama.” He groans, his panting meeting your ear. The sounds he makes always leave you striving for more as you move your hand faster, squeezing every now and then. He chokes out a guttural moan when you tense your palm around his tip, his eyes squeezing shut.
“You’re doing so good f’me, baby.” You praise, your voice low in his ear. A shuttering breath leaves him, his spine crawling with goosebumps.
A few more seconds pass by before he’s clutching his hands on to your thighs, his mouth releasing more shaking breaths. “‘M close,” he whines, silently hoping you’ll go easy on him and let him cum.
“You gonna cum for me?” You mutter, increasing your pace. He whimpers and nods quickly, lost in the pleasure of your hand against him. “Yeah? Then cum.” As if on command, he follows your orders, his body shaking and his head thrown back as he releases against his soft stomach and his ridden up shirt. His groans filled the room, taking over the sound from the tv. His body jolts at the sensitivity once you give him one last pump, and then removing your hand from him.
Growing overstimulated, Matt whines at the mess he made. “I know, we need to get you cleaned up.” You push his messy hair back, leaving a kiss on his forehead gently. He hums in delight of the sweet treatment from you, his eyes opening to look over at you. “So pretty,” you whisper, still brushing your fingers through his knotty hair. His face welcomes a light pink hue as he blushes from your praise.
“C’mon, let’s take a shower.”

“TROUBLED HEARTS” LIU KANG X SORCERER FEM!READER
Tumblr media
SUMMARY : You are Quan Chi’s daughter. A powerful Cambion (half human/half demon) sorcerer. After you find out your father killed your mother, you join Earthrealm’s side. Liu Kang wins the Mortal Kombat tournament. This is two weeks after the tournament
A/N : “havent I seen this before???” Yes. This was originally with my OC Mal but I’m making it to a reader now because well, it’s gonna do better if I make it into a reader
A/N : THIS WAS SO ANNOYING TO WRITE IN SECOND PERSON. Y’ALL BETTER LIKE THIS UP (there may be mistakes bc I literally had to rewrite this)
WARNINGS : (MDNI), praise, f receiving oral, fingering, probably some other stuff I forgot
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
A lot of people questioned why Liu Kang was in love with you. A lot. You were polar opposites. Liu Kang was humble while you were cocky. Liu Kang was nice while you were cold. Liu Kang didn’t exactly have a sense of humor and you were one of the funniest people anyone could ever know.
Liu Kang couldn’t describe the connection he had with you. It was like everything with you made sense. It was also very obvious because Liu Kang always treated you with love and care (even though you didn’t need it.) All felt right in the world when he was surrounded by you.
Not only were you polar opposites, you came from different worlds. You were Quan Chi’s daughter. A Cambion (half human and half demon) who was a powerful sorcerer. You first met when you were sent on a mission to kill Liu Kang.
Kung Lao could see the puppy dog eyes on his friend’s face and couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He was annoyed that Liu Kang hadn’t made a proper move on you yet. “She’s literally standing right over there.”
You were at the temple, helping train someone. You had been on Earthrealm’s side since the tournament and you finding out that Quan Chi killed your mother. You typically helped trained people since you were the most skilled fighter.
You were also injured from the fight you had with your own father. You were weaker than you once were so you had to be careful with fighting.
Now that you were here Liu Kang had the perfect opportunity and he was blowing it which made Kung Lao irritated to no end. “You guys haven’t had a normal conversation since the tournament ended.”
Liu Kang thought it was best to keep his distance. It wasn’t because he was ashamed of his feelings. He more so just thought that you wouldn’t feel the same way and he didn’t want to go through that heartbreak. “What do you want me to do Kung Lao?”
“I don’t know? Do something about it! I’m sick of you moping around here.”
Liu Kang just sighed. “I don’t want to ruin what friendship we have.”
That’s when an idea popped in Kung Lao’s mind. He smirked at the thought of it. “You’re right.” He tapped Liu Kang’s chest. “It probably wouldn’t work out between the two of you anyway.”
Liu Kang did not expect this. In fact, he was confused. Kung Lao was just begging for Liu Kang to “make a move” and all the sudden the idea was shot down like that. “What do you…”
He couldn’t even finish his sentence because Kung Lao was already walking towards you. You had finished training with the woman. “Not better than me but you know - you still kicked ass.”
The woman who was used to your comments rolled her eyes. “Thanks, (Y/N).”
She walked away. You dapped your forehead with the towel looking for sweat when you had seen Kung Lao walk over to you. “If you’re coming over to train - I will kick your ass.”
Kung Lao chuckled. After the tournament, the two of you had became really good friends so it was normal for you to joke around like this. “Please. You could not beat me if you tried.”
“Watch out, Lao. That pride will get you in trouble.”
Liu Kang watched as the two of you shared a laugh. He raised a brow. He didn’t understand what Kung Lao’s intentions were but he was going to find out. He made sure to come closer to them but not too close where he could be detected.
“Pride is my biggest strength.” Kung Lao looked you up and down, making it very obvious he was checking you out. “I feel that it is yours too.”
You noticed but did not say anything. If it was anybody that you had liked - for example - Liu Kang - you would have instantly flirted but you did not view Kung Lao romantically. Sure, he was an attractive man. A very attractive man but he was not the man for you. “You felt right.” You started to walk towards the bench so you could get a sip of your water. “As much joy your company brings me…” You spoke with sarcasm. “You did not come here to talk about Kombat.”
Kung Lao pulled off his smirk. “I like direct women. All right. I feel as though we have not gotten a chance to catch up since the end of the tournament.”
You would be lying if you said you weren’t intrigued by this statement. Kung Lao had confidence, yes but he was never really the type to out right flirt with a woman. Not unless Johnny Cage was possessing him. “Oh? And why would you like to catch up?”
“Isn’t it obvious what I’m asking?”
“I like direct men.” You threw back in his face. You were interested. Not in him but the way Kung Lao was going about this. Something had just felt off. “So spit it out.”
“I like you. You’re one of the most powerful women I’ve ever met. You’re beautiful, smart and are the only one that can match my wit. Friends doesn’t feel enough with you.”
Liu Kang gritted his teeth. He knew what Kung Lao was doing. Liu Kang was a patient man. A very patient man. Not only that but it was very hard to invoke jealousy within him. Very hard.
Not with you though. Maybe it was because he thought deep down with his flirtatious nature that you would want Kung Lao.
It just made him mad because Kung Lao was like a brother to him.
You tilted your head. A quick scoff left your mouth. Not only were you uninterested - you were also upset. From the very moment you had met Liu Kang, all you had done was flirt with the man. All that effort you put into him and his best friend decides to make a move on you?
“You? Kung Lao? Want me? The woman you haven’t even showed the slightest bit of interest to until recently? Me?” You took a couple step towards him. “Scratch that. You believe that you - Kung Lao - are worthy enough to even get with someone like me?” A laugh erupted from you. “You are even lucky you are breathing the same air as me.”
Kung Lao wasn’t going to back down though. Not until Liu Kang manned up and stopped him. “Fight for it.”
You raised an eyebrow, slightly confused. “Fight for it?”
“You win, I’ll leave you alone about it. I win, you have to let me take you on a date.”
The proposition made Liu Kang’s eyes light up. No. You were already weak. Yes, you were in shape to train with people that did not know Kombat. Kung Lao was skilled in Kombat meaning he could actually injure you.
It wasn’t even about Kung Lao flirting with you anymore. It was about your safety. Liu Kang quickly stepped in.
“Fight? Absolutely not.”
You turned to the new voice in the conversation. Liu Kang. He had been avoiding you for some time now which made you completely annoyed. You had no interest to deal with him right now. “Were you listening in on our conversation?”
Kung Lao started to chime and when he turned to his friend. “Yes, Liu Kang. Were you?”
Liu Kang rolled his eyes slightly before responding, ignoring it. “Your father weakened you. The fight is not on the same playing field. You could get hurt.”
It was your turn to roll your eyes. “Relax Liu-Liu. I’m a powerful sorcerer. I got this.” You turned back to Kung Lao. “Let’s do this.”
Kung Lao smirked. The two of you got into your fighting positions. Liu Kang shook his head, knowing this was a dumb idea.
You threw the first punch. Kung Lao blocked it with ease. Kung Lao threw the second but you had also blocked it with ease. The pattern continues until you did a spin kick, kicking him in the stomach. He doesn’t knock down to the ground.
You motion your hands for Kung Lao to come at you. Kung Lao jumps when you tried to leg sweep him. He goes to kick you but you do a backflip to dodge it. You hit Kung Lao in the chest but he hits you back, knocking you on your back.
You hissed in pain. Liu Kang shook his head. “Alright. You two made your point.”
“I didn’t concede.” You got back up quickly. This time Kung Lao makes it a point to motion for you to come at him.
You try to kick him. He quickly catches your leg and throws you. You do a flip in the air and lands on your feet. The two of you go punch for punch, blocking. That was until you smacked Kung Lao across the face, so hard that his nose started to bleed.
Kung Lao felt his nose. You smirked at him. He then took his hat off. You knew that now he would use the hat as his weapon. “Kung Lao…” Liu Kang warns.
He doesn’t listen. He tried to jab you with it. You dodged it. He did it again and you quickly dodged. He tried to sweep your feet with it but you jumped over it. That’s when he went for your stomach. He slightly sliced your chest and pushed you to the ground.
“Stop!” Liu Kang yelled.
Kung Lao held the hat to her chin and made you look at him. “Say it.”
You hated that he had won but you didn’t have anymore fight in you. Liu Kang was right. You were weak. “I concede.”
Kung Lao lowered the hat. “By the Elder Gods.” Liu Kang mumbled and went to your side. “Are you alright?”
You cracked your neck as if you didn’t receive a scratch on you. “I’m fine, Liu Kang.”
“Let me see.” Liu Kang lifted your shirt slightly. A big slash was on your chest. He angrily turned to Kung Lao. “I told you to stop.”
Kung Lao rolled his eyes at Liu Kang’s reaction (even though this is what he wanted.) “She’s the most powerful sorcerer. She’ll be fine.” He turned to you. “And looks like you owe me a date.”
“I guess so…” You mumbled before standing up from the ground.
Liu Kang was beyond mad. Was he annoyed about Kung Lao flirting with you? Very much. All that flew out the window when you got hurt. Not only that but Kung Lao had zero feelings for you so he was just toying with you. For what? For Liu Kang to admit his feelings for you?
“Are you out your mind?” Liu Kang questioned him. “She is not fully healed yet. Now, you delayed her to heal more. For what? To go on a date with a woman you don’t even want to have?”
You raised an eyebrow at what Liu Kang said. You were confused. What was he exactly talking about?
Kung also wasn’t mad. This was all part of his plan. He had to play like he was though. “Oh, because you seem to care about her. Haven’t you been ignoring her for weeks?”
“That is not the point.”
“It is, Liu Kang. I don’t understand why you care so much. Explain to me - no - explain to the both of us why you care so much.”
Liu Kang took in a deep breath. He was usually a patient man. A man that didn’t get so easily bothered but the overwhelming feeling of love was suffocating his heart. He loved you. This was more than being the persona of the “humble easy going monk.” “I won’t let you mess with her feelings.”
“I won’t if you say it.”
You waved your hand as if you were in a classroom. “Um! Hello! Standing right here!”
Liu Kang glared at him Kung Lao. How dare he try to get him to admit his feelings on his time? “No.”
“Say it.” Kung Lao demanded.
Liu Kang looked at Kung Lao then at you. You looked beyond confused and you were about to be even more confused. Instead of saying anything, Liu Kang cupped your face and kissed you.
You stood there in absolute shock. Kung Lao’s eyes had widen. He definitely wasn’t expecting that. Liu Kang quickly pulled away. Kung Lao smirked before crossing his arms. “Or you can do that.”
You looked between the two men. “Can someone please tell me what the fuck is going on.”
No turning back now. “Kung Lao asked you on a date to get me to confess my feelings for you.”
“Annnd it worked. I am a genius. Sorry about the scratch (Y/N). I’ll leave you two to it.” Kung Lao started to walk away. He turned around like he remembered something. “Oh and (Y/N). I wouldn’t date you if you were the last woman on Earth.”
You flipped him off and he laughed. Kung Lao finally walked away and Liu Kang signed. “Come here.” He took your hand and led you all the way to his room. He helped you sit on the bed.
Liu Kang got his medic supplies and walked back over to you. “Lift up your shirt.”
“Do I have to lift it up or is Kung Lao going to come up with a ridiculous plan to convince me to take off the shirt?”
Liu Kang felt guilt in his bones. He did not want you to find out his feelings for you the way you did. Not at all. You deserved better than that. Liu Kang sat on the bed. “I’m sorry about all this…Kung Lao had no right to manipulate your feelings.”
It was at that moment you let out a laugh. “Me? Feelings for Kung Lao? Not even in an alternate timeline. I’m so glad I don’t have to go on a date with him.”
Liu Kang did feel relieved that you had no feelings for Kung Lao. You just took off her shirt instead of lifting it up. You were the most attractive woman he had ever met.
He started to treat your wound. Silence filled the air. Even though you were relieved the date with Kung Lao wasn’t real, she was still pissed off about one thing. “Why didn’t you man up and tell me you had feelings for me before?”
Here the conversation was going. The talk Liu Kang was dreading about. “I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. I thought if I confessed my feelings for you…you wouldn’t feel the same way.”
You understood. You too, despite your sarcastic quips, appreciated the friendship you had with Liu Kang and you didn’t want to take it away. “I come with a lot of baggage, Liu. Daughter of Quan Chi. Half demon and half human. Mad all the time. I mean in Kitana’s words I’m Earthrealms biggest problem.”
It was no secret that Kitana and you didn’t get along. Nobody really understood why but it was clear that the two of you didn’t like each other’s character.
The mention of Kitana made Liu Kang sigh. “Kitana does not know you like I know you. I love everything about you. All parts. Even the dark ones.” He cups your face, wanting you to take in everything he was saying. “There is not a line in the world that I wouldn’t cross for you. Not a time in your life I would not be there for you. Not a thing in this universe that can pull me away from you. You have been there for me when I could not be there for myself and I cherish that. I cherish all parts about you.”
Growing up in the Netherrealm and Earthrealm switching between both worlds, you hadn’t got much love. Ever. You were so scared of love. That it would ruin you. The way Liu Kang spoke sounded like he had all the love for you in the world. And that made up for everything.
It took a lot for you to cry. A lot. Somehow tears were falling down your face. “Are you trying to get me to fall in love with you? Because it’s working.”
Liu Kang chuckled a little. He gently wiped away your tears. “Love is kind, love is not selfish. It is beautiful. Love is not cowardice or cruel. Love is the very thing in the universe that binds you to that person. I want to be your person.”
Anything that came out of Liu Kang’s mouth, he made it sound good. “I want you to be my person too.”
Liu Kang’s eyes darted down to your lips. He licked his lips. He wanted nothing more than to taste your lips. Give in to it.
You decided to make the first move. You cupped the left side of Liu Kang’s face and kissed him. Liu Kang didn’t hesitate to kiss you back. It was like paradise. True and utter paradise.
You moved your lips in sync with each other. The kiss easily started to turn more sloppy but the passion was still there. You pushed Liu Kang lightly on the bed which he accepted. You got on top of him and began kissing all over his neck. Liu Kang moaned slightly at this. He shouldn’t have been shocked at how fast things were heating up. This was you.
He wanted to continue. He truly did but you were injured. “(Y/N), you’re still injured.”
Tou pulled away from his neck and looked at him directly in his eyes. “Which is precisely why I need a reward for all the bullshit I’ve been dealing with.” Your hands started to travel down to his black sweats. You started to rub him through the pants. “And I like this reward.”
Liu Kang didn’t think he would get used to her straightforwardness. You quickly leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his lips. “Then at least lay back and let me do all the work.”
“Fine. Take the fun out of it.” You flopped on his bed dramatically causing Liu Kang to let out a chuckle.
It wasn’t just because of your injury. He just wanted to please you. He got on top of you and unbuttoned your pants before pulling them down. Next to go was your underwear.
You were not expecting for Liu Kang to go in between your legs and start sucking your clit. You gasped at the the sudden pressure and tilted your head back.
Unfortunately, because you were so dominant you had never gotten the pleasure of getting eaten out. Not in your 2,000 years of living. So, this was a new experience with you. It also put you into a different position. A submissive one.
Liu Kang held your thighs tightly in place so you wouldn’t run away. He continued to devour your pussy like it was his favorite desert. Like it was made for him.
“Oh my fucking god. Yes. Yes. Oh god. Liu.”
It only made him work harder knowing he was pleasing you. He continued to suck your sensitive bud until you started to pull on his hair. He liked it but he took it as a sign that you needed a break from him sucking so he pulled away for a moment. He used his two fingers to start rolling your clit in circles in a certain speed.
“Oh shit. Oh my fucking god.”
Liu Kang gently kissed your breasts that fitted tightly in your bra. “You look so good like this, my love.” You were actually embarrassed by how submissive you felt. You started to cover your face. He quickly pushed your hands away with the hand that was free. “Don’t cover yourself. I want to see the most beautiful woman in the world cum on my fingers.”
Oh. My. God. Where the hell did this Liu Kang come from? You moaned at his words and cupped your breasts out of instinct. “Fuck, yes.”
Liu Kang rubbed in harsher and harsher circles knowing you could take it. He watched her as she fell apart on his bed. He felt his dick grow in his sweat pants and he practically thanked himself for wearing sweats instead of pants.
You felt yourself about to come undone. How the hell were you already about to cum? Usually it took you thirty minutes. An hour tops. “Oh my god. Oh my god. I’m about to cum.”
Liu Kang didn’t dare change his pace. “That’s it. You’re almost there.”
You tried to pull Liu Kang’s away. “I want to cum with you inside of me.”
Liu Kang couldn’t help but chuckle as he kissed you neck. He didn’t move his fingers from playing with her your. “Darling, you act like we can’t keep going after you cum right now.”
Because you stopped it slightly, your high had slowed up. “Oh my god. I’m so close.” You gripped Liu Kang’s arm for support.
“Breathe in and out.” He told you. “I got you.” He felt you dig into his arms with your nails. He loved the pain.
You listened to Liu Kang and breathed in and out. Your pleasure was overwhelming. You had never felt like this before and especially never this fast. “Fuck. Please. Please. Don’t stop.”
“You can do it. I know you can. Give it to me, my love.”
Liu Kang’s words edged you to the point of no return. “Oh yes. Liu Kang. Liu. Yes. I’m cumming. Fuck.”
Liu Kang felt your clit move and more juices flowed on fingers. He rode your orgasm out until you couldn’t anymore. Then he placed the fingers in his mouth and tasted you. “I did not know you were so nasty.” You told him.
He laughed a little at her words. “Did you enjoy it?”
“Enjoy it? Oh my god. No one has ever got me to cum that fast.”
Liu Kang smiled at you. “I’m glad.” He leans over you and places a small kiss on your lips. “All I want is to make you feel good.”
“You know I never had anyone go down on me.”
“They were not real men then.”
You laughed. You started reaching to his pants. “It’s your turn.”
He shook his head. “Another time. I just want to lay down with you right now.” Liu Kang covered you with the blanket and kissed you softly on the lips.
You were about to kiss him back but a quick knock came at the door and then the door opened.
“Hey, Liu Kang, Raiden wants us to-“ When Kung Lao walked in and seen the scene before him all he could do is laugh. “Wait a minute-“
You weren’t easily embarrassed but Liu Kang was. He face palmed himself as he knew he would not hear the end of it. “Oh no…”
“We’re you two…” Kung Lao trailed off.
“Technically he was having a meal-“ You spoke but was quickly cut of by Liu Kang.
“(Y/N)!”
“What? He asked.”
Kung Lao had laughed again. “Oh my god. And who’s to say I am not the greatest match maker of all time?”
Liu Kang motioned for him to get out. “Yes, yes, yes. Now go.”
“Alright, alright. I’m going. Just don’t let the monks find out.”
You raised a brow confused. “Why?”
With that, Kung Lao turns over to Liu Kang. “She doesn’t know?”
Liu Kang scratched the back of neck before explaining. “You swear to chastity when you become one.”
Your eyes widen at this statement. “Like no sex at all? That sounds like literal hell.”
“Well, you two have fun. And next time just lock the door.” Kung Lao says before leaving the room, shutting the door.
Liu Kang flops on his back. You looked down at him. “Did I make you become a bad monk?”
“The thoughts were in my head before it was done.” Liu Kang simply told you before bringing you closer to his chest.
He finally did it. He finally got the girl.

Status update on the dark relic nsfw comic please ma'am 🙏 my family is dying
Tumblr media
ITS DONE!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉...well, the DRAWING part is as of yesterday BAHAHA. now im just adding all the dialogue/speech bubbles/sfx, SO ITS DEFINITELY GONNA BE SOON!! DEFS BY THIS WEEKEND!! ive just been very nitpicky on the font which i cant decide on LMAO and im also nitpicky abt other final touches LOL. i didnt wanna show anymore cuz ive already shown so much but HERES THE FINAL SNEAK PEEK
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and speaking of fonts, i normally use handwriting by jeremy paz!
Tumblr media
oh man its so random, but i either use the name lumi or clora for everything whenever i play rpgs (baldurs gate 3, dragon age, you name it) and clora originated from rune factory 4 LOL. theres a character named 'clorica' and i really liked that name, it sounds so elegant and fantasy ish, so i eventually just shortened it to clora bahaha. now its my go-to. i like how simple it is but it also sounds unique and works in modern AND fantasy settings, imo
Tumblr media
my first and ONLY playthrough was as clora! i originally did try to make myself at the start, but i have short brown hair and straight across bangs, and they didnt have a style that felt 'me', so i went with just making a ravenclaw that i liked, and then gave her my go-to name of clora HAHA. and yea, i built up her and sebs relationship in my head as i was playing, especially with all the running around the castle i did. i just liked to imagine her constantly out of breath and flushed and seb just watching like ....🧍girl chill...
Tumblr media
AND SPEAKING OF MY DARK RELIC COMIC/SMUT, my biggest advice for writing smut id say is to have a reasoning behind it, i guess? i focus a lot on their headspace/WHY they're fucking at that moment when i write it LOL instead of just the movements/sex for the sake of sex. in your case, the sexual tension leading up to the first time gives you SO much to work with, since you can just be in his head with how much hes looking forward to it, how much hes savouring it, how he's also nervous but enjoying it and trusting the other person, etc. the thoughts are hotter than the actual deed a lot of the times (which is why when clora and seb did it for the first time it ended up being like, 15k words of just foreplay and build up from sebs perspective LMAOO) so yeah id just try to focus on their emotions and desires if you can! and a lot of the times with consent stuff it CAN feel forced, and you dont even really need your characters to talk about that stuff verbally, at least not too much. you can do it in body language, or just something as simple as 'ill stop if you want'. it doesnt have to be a long therapist-like conversation about consent, which CAN tend to sound a little awkward and unrealistic (esp in the heat of the moment), if thats the problem you're having. HOPE I COULD HELP
Tumblr media
also i love this for you and for me. YES GO ON AND MAKE A BUNCH OF CLORA CLONES, I COMMAND IT👉👉👉
Tumblr media
and last but not least the most important question. honestly i like plain sweets a lot with no icing/filling. im a slut for shortbread cookies and also just plain glazed donuts. and also custard/portugese/egg tarts, which i also forced clora to like in my fic HAHA. IF YOU HAVENT HAD THEM YOU HAVE TO, THEYRE SO GOOD😩😩💖💖

SO I JUST SAW FALSETTOS LIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME
HOLY SHIT OKAY. HEY GUYS I JUST GOT BACK FROM SEEING FALSETTOS. LIVE. MY FAVOROITE MUSICAL EVER. I HAVE WORDS TO SAY.
So firstly I of course have to say this musical is fucking phenomenal and if u havent seen it even on youtube you HAVE to. onne of the best musicals ever wrutten. ignore any typos in this my hands r still shaking and im not editing htis. OKAY.
The actors. It was a college level production but the actors were so so talented. My favorite performances were from Mendel and Jason, who both pulled off their roles INCREDIBLY. Mendel was like a carbon copy of Brandon Uranowitz he had his mannerisms DOWN. All the nervous ticks, touching his face, being generally so awkward all the time, even his face was just perfec t for the role. And Jason was played by an adult femme-presenting person but they were so good as him!!!!! their voice fit him perfectly and she also perfectly encompassed Jason;s awkward childlike nature. The entire cast was incredible but those two really stood out to me!!!! Everyone's singing voices as well were fantastic, especially Trina's—she KILLED the high notes and even sung up the octave on a few lines !!!! including the "but still the bastard divorced me" and she still belted the "you must exorcise a devil" even AFTER Im Breaking Down. In fucking sane.
THAT BEING SAID THOUGH. Even though i enjouyed every second of it I do wanna make some more analysis-related directing critiques because im fucked up and evil about this show . im so sorry just let me speak here meaout. Stating right now though I've only seen the 2016 revival (about 2 dozen times) and not the original 90's version (been meaning to watch it just havent gotten the chance) so i reserve all TRUE judgement until after I see it!!! maybe some of these choices were in the original but tbh if they were i still like how the revival did it better. okay i swear im not just one of those ppl who is like "tHaTS noT hOw ThEY dId iT On BroADwAy" calm down. thanks <3
First of all. Some of the scenes lacked energy !!!!! Thrill of first love had no homoerotic choreography!!!!! they just kinda sat there on the couch looking morose and barely looking at each other as if they truly just hate each other and feel ANYthing towards each other anymore at all. But thats not the point!!!!!! They dont fully hate each other theyre just lacking the excitement that they once had and it's been replaced with nothing but disagreements and sex. When Whizzer and Marvin do their gay little dance theyre not just dancing and being gross and sexual theyre also FIGHTING!!!! they still care about each other they just dont know how to act!!!! and marvin's a bitch of course. Marvin was still very much a bitch. But because of the lack of energy in this song there was a bit of a lack of chemistry between the two as well, which carried through the whole show. I feel like it's important to see just how gross fucked up n nasty these two are about each other to see how its truly affecting the other people in Marvin's life. Even their chemistry during the chess game was lacking. They just kinda felt like they really hated each other. Which isnt the pointtttttt. Guh
Trina (or the directors idk) also made some choices I wasn't 100% on board with but they were more subtle. Mostly in her tone about Mendel. Up through Please Come To Our House she seemed to really really like Mendel. Like it was clear she was attempting to woo him. But then when he was proposing, and when they were maknig their home together, she just seemed. Unenthused. I know Trina truly doesn't really love her life, and just needs the stability of a nuclear family, but it was odd to see her not even attempt to keep up the facade on her own. Her and Mendel were similarly lacking in a lot of chemistry because of this, which, maybe to some of you makes sense but to me i do want to see them be close even if Mendel isn't absolutely the best.
LAST CRITIQUE OKAY. This one is BIG SPOILERS if u havent seen it yet but probably if ur reading this far youve already seen it okay. The fuckign bar mitzvah!!!!! There was no acknowledgement from Whizzer to Jason as he was reading his Torah !!!!!!! He just layed there in the hospital bed, facing AWAY from the audience so we could only see the very top of his head (which was on purpose for a quick change but) and he didnt get up at all to thank Jason or even acknowledge him :( for all the audience knows maybe he didnt even see Jason get bar mitzvahd. screaming crying throwing up.
OKAY IM DONE W BEING MEAN HERES A BIG CHANGE I REALLY LOVED !!!!!! as well as some smaller changes that i also really liked or were jsut neutral things i noticed
For most of act 2, up until Days Like This, They had this really cool circus imagery? Now once again idk if this is in the OG, but they had a picture of each cluster of characters set up on either side of the stage, and each of them was doing some sort of circus act both in the pictures and on stage, especially during A Day in Falsettoland. When a character was having their point in the song, they'd sometimes cut the lights briefly and suddenly the characters would be struggling to perform their little circus act, and each of them had a differnt one respectively and they all represented their immaturities/flaws/struggles:
Jason was on stilts, representing his need to grow up and perhaps his perceived mental maturity compared to the other characters
Trina was balancing/spinning plates on sticks, representing her need to keep balance and order in her life
Marvin + Whizzer were fencers because of their lingering animosity, yet newfound respect, for one another. Fencing isnt a dangerous sport, like you dont actually hurt your opponent in it, but it;s still a fight and youre still pointoing a weapon at them. guh. (AND BTW they did this during the racquetball scene and HOLY SHIT. I just gotta describe this one. Racquetball number 1 They had their little racquets as they were singing to each other but then when they got really into the game the lights would cut and then theyd be FENCING each other instead!!!!! and then the lights would cut again and itd go back to racquetball!!!! BUT THEN in the racquetball number 2 when it cut to them fencing ONLY MARVIN HAD A SWORD. WHIZZER STILL HAD HIS RACQUET. GIUUHUHGGHGHGHGHGH.;..,.,/;;'.';.;'[[[.)
Then the lesbians from next door were like a duo balancing/acrobatics act where they were always leaning on each other and picking each other up which was cute but also like. Charlotte would start falling in one direction and Cordelia would have to scrambke to catch her. I always hail them as the healthiest couple in the show but sometimes i forget they have problems too, like Cordelia;s insecurity and Charlotte's stress over the virus of course.
And finally Mendel!!!! was the fucking ringmaster!!!!! He had a hoop and a top hat and every time he was trying to calm down Jason (Everyone Hates His Parents), or Caroline, or Trina (A Day in Falsettoland), he would appear with his hoop and top hat, to show that HE is the one who needs to "control" other people's lives, or at least he feels the need to direct them. Mendel of course needs to feel like he's smarter than everyone else and like he's the only one who can help people. It really drove that home and it was an insane realization to come to. Phenomenal directing choice idk who came up with that but. bravissimo to you
Now miscellaneous stuff i liked or noticed!!!
They didn't have the big ol foam block. just some couch ends that they moved around to be diff pieces of furniture. If you've ever seen Waiting In The Wings' analysis on falsettos you might have seen a comment in the youtube section discussing how in the set design for the revival, the lack of real furniture through most of the show represents the lack of maturity of the characters, and as things get serious for them, more real props and set pieces get added. Like the chess board, the decor for Mendel + Trina's home, Whizzer's suitcase, the whole hospital room, etc. They didn't lean into that with this but i think that's fine! its not a necessary detail in my opinion and they did their best with what they had!!
Marvin didn't hand whizzer the suitcase after the chess game. He just grabbed it, and packed it himself. I was waiting for him to slam it into whizzer's chest or something. but no. Whizzer just picked it up and walked off. okay. Neutral bad change imo
Marvin's performances of What would I do and What more can i Say were. Breathtaking. Marvin actor if you're out there reading this your voice is lovely and carries so much emotion in your solo numbers. I Did Cry. a little bit
god their group number harmonies were AMAZING. All of the cast members' voices blended together so well and it was absolutely beautiful. the whole show was beautiful and i adored it i swear. I jsut need somwhere to put my feelings
THE ORCHESTRA FUCKED. IT FUCKED
Okay its getting late now and im fading quickly BUT IF U READ THIS FAR UR INSANE. This is for me and nobody else i just eneded to feelings dump. tl;dr: i fucking lvoe falsettos this was one of the best nights of my life i love you actors i love you pit i love you lighting i love you run crew i love you sound crew i love you musical theatre

hiii i’m sorry i actually can’t remember if i sent this before or not😭could you maybe write smth with eddie getting an innocent reader high for the first time? <3
(hi angel !! u havent sent this before so <33 hope u enjoy!! *sorry if this kinda sucks i wrote it at like three am KDSJF)) (also i wrote about her smoking for the first time but i didnt touch much on her getting high really.. if u want me to write just that lmk!!)
✧˚₊‧ 🧸 ✧˚₊‧
eddie originally invited u over to his trailer because he mentioned how he was failing math and needed ur help studying. of course, you complied, wanting to help him (and spend time with him as youve had a crush on him for months) (and of course he didnt actually want ur help studying, he just used that as an excuse to hangout with u as he has had a crush on u for a good two years).
but now, after helping him study for a good hour, he declared he needed a break. this break included him playing some of the most intense music youve ever heard posing as 'background music' whilst he smoked a rolled blunt.
he asked you if u were comfortable with him smoking in the same room as you, and because u were a curious creature (never being around any sort of drug), you nodded, saying you were fine with it.
eddie thought you were odd, in a good way of course. god, he wanted you so badly..but he didnt want to scare you off. he knew how sensitive you were to certain things. so when you sat right down in front of him as he smoked, staring at him with gloriously curious doe eyes, watching him take a drag from his joint--he was surprised to say the very least.
eddie watches the way youre eyeing the joint between his plush lips as he inhales, eyes squinting slightly as he looks at you sitting across from him on his bed; kneeling on his mattress--hands folded in your lap politely n ur eyes full of wonder but hesitancy as u chew on ur lower lip. you watch the metalhead blow the smoke from his mouth, an arm behind his head as he lies back against his pillows.
"you wanna try?" he asks, holding the joint out to you as he blows the smoke up in the air. he can feel the way your eyes trace his movements.
you giggle nervously, flustered. "o-oh, uhm, i dunno.. 've never tried such things before!"
thats something else eddie loved about you.
when you got shy you talked like some sort of disney princess.
he smirks, amused. his eyes are half lidded n red as he swipes his tongue along the fat of his bottom lip.
"c'mon.." his voice is playful. "'see the way ur eyein' it, princess.. i'll help you through it, dont worry." eddie takes a small drag from the end of his blunt once more.
fuck, hes so high. and horny. high and horny. maybe not the greatest combo when the girl he's liked for years is sitting right in front of him looking so..soft and beautiful.
does ur skin always glow this vibrantly?
"i just--'ve never done stuff like this. what if i act funny?" your lips form into a pout, concern lacing in ur features.
why did you have to be so cute and irresistable?
"'s okay, angel. promise i wont judge..could never judge a sweet girl like you," his praise makes you preen as you blush. "c'mon, come sit next to me, ill talk ya through it, mk?"
you nod, butterflies fluttering in ur tummy. besides the heavy smell of weed, eddie smelled so yummy to you. he was addicting to be around.
you sat next to him on his bed, pulling ur skirt down a bit as you get comfortable.
"now, just put ur lips around the end and inhale, okay? u might cough a bit but it'll go away," eddie brings the lit joint to ur glossed lips as ur eyes round with inexperience. the metalhead maintains eye contact with u as u inhale sharply, immediately bending forward and coughing as he pats ur back. "'s okay, princess, ur okay.." his ringed fingers rub ur back as u struggle to breathe.
a few seconds pass and u feel better. ur head is light but heavy.
"wanna try again? should've probably told u to inhale slowly..forget u dont know much about this stuff." he tucks a loose strand of hair behind ur ear and u feel ur heart speed.
u nod. "yes, please!"
eddie smiles gently at your eagerness. "alright, sweet girl, remember..nice n easy, okay? inhale gently and slowly."
you nod a bit as he brings the joint to ur lips. his left hand rubs up and down your right arm comfortingly. that act alone makes the butterflies that once only fluttered inside ur belly swirl into a storm.
eddie watches ur lips as u inhale slowly.
"good, baby.. nice n easy, okay? doin' so good.." his voice is so soft and gentle as he tenderly squeezes ur arm as u blow the smoke from ur lips.
u giggle when done, clapping excitedly before you're hit with a wave of tranquility.
