Mauga NSFW alphabet
Maugaloa Malosi x GN!Reader
Tumblr media
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Very caring, especially if he was rough with you. Some nights he will press a damp cloth between your legs, others he’ll run you a bath. He definitely cuddles after too. (He’s the big spoon obviously)
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Yours: I see him as an ass man but tbh I don’t think he has a big preference. Tits, ass, thighs, it doesn’t matter. As long as he has something to hold on to.
His: His chest..for obvious reasons lmao
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Comes thick heavy loads and he loves to come inside. Filling you up and fucking you full of his seed makes him feel closer to you, like you are bonded together. It’s like he’s marking you as his. So when he pulls out, he’ll make sure to push his cum back in, making you whimper in sensitivity.
Coming down your throat is a close second for sure, though. Loves seeing you all teary eyed, gazing up at him as you swallow whatever you can. Seeing you all submissive like that is such a pretty sight.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
I feel like he’d be an open book tbh- so none?
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
He definitely knows what he’s doing. With his “living every day like it’s his last” mentality and low impulse control, I feel like he would fuck often. Prob would mainly have one night stands, but he doesn’t care. He sees something he wants, he takes it.
Also “Let’s go break some hearts!” Def has a double meaning to it and that’s all the proof I need
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
You on top (aka Cowgirl)- It’s much easier with you on top, especially considering how fucking big this man is, but that doesn’t mean you have control. Not at all. He’ll have his hands on your hips, moving you at whatever pace he wants, bouncing you on him. He also appreciates the view of you up close, right in his lap.
Full Nelson- He loves manhandling..and if that includes folding you like a lawnchair then so be it
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
In his own way, yeah. He’d probably make jokes that only he finds funny in his sadistic mind, like seeing you struggle from how good and overwhelmed he’s making you feel.
Maybe if you’re nervous he’ll make a joke or two, just to get you to relax.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Somewhat groomed..he rlly only does trims when it gets too long, but there’s always a patch of black hair down there lol
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
Def depends on your relationship with him. If it’s a one night stand, then little to none. Maybe a kiss here or there, but it’s more heated than intimate, all tongue and teeth.
It’s not until you’ve been dating him for a while, and you get his walls to come down and get him to trust and love you that he gets really intimate. He slows down a bit more, looks you in the eyes..not just to see your expression but to see you…all of you. And he kisses and holds onto you like he never wants to let go. Like if he does, you’ll slip through his fingers and disappear. Will whisper affections into your ear and against your lips and neck with every slow roll of his hips.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
Again, it depends on your relationship with him. If you’re dating, maybe once in a while, like if he’s away on a long mission. He’ll probably either do it while calling you so he can hear your voice, or he’ll send a video, calling you a tease and telling you how much he misses you. And if he can’t get through to you then, he’ll do it the old fashioned way..but he won’t be happy about it lmfao
If you’re not in a relationship with him…but he’s planning on getting you or trying to get in your pants, much more often. Will definitely fantasize about you often and all the nasty things he wants to do you. And if you don’t pay him attention/play hard to get or whatever, he’ll definitely want you much more. After all, he loves the chase.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Size Kink- Loves that you’re smaller than him, seeing the size difference in your hands and bodies always gets him going, especially when you struggle to take him, no matter how much he’s stretched you out before.
Praise/Degradation- He does both- but his degrading isn’t all insults and stuff, more like talking to you in that condescending tone and teasing you- and for praise he’ll tell you how good you are for him and how pretty you are…whatever gets more of a reaction from you.
Overstimulation/Dumbification- Loves when you’re all fucked out and dumb on his cock, crying and writhing, hardly any thoughts left in your head except for how good he’s making you feel.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
Basically anywhere, the man does not give a fuck. He will fuck you anytime anywhere: at your place, at his, in a cabana at the beach (it’s not his cabana), and even in one of the storage closets on Talon’s base.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Lots of stuff..it could be the smallest thing, like if you look at him a certain way, or accidentally brush against him, but he loves to piss you off. He thinks you’re sexy when you’re angry, and he sometimes he gets you mad on purpose because he enjoys seeing you like that, and he can fuck the attitude right out of you
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
While Mauga is a strong willed and stubborn person, he definitely wouldn’t do anything you’re uncomfortable with. The moment you tell him to stop or say no, he’ll stop. He respects you and your boundaries.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
He’s a giver for sure. It doesn’t matter what size you are, big, small or in between, he will have you sit on his face..and put ALL of your weight on him lmfao. He’s nasty and messy, but he’s amazing at giving head. It always leaves your legs shaky, especially since he probably won’t let you go until you’ve come on his face at least twice.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Def on the faster/rougher side but there might be some nights when he’s slow and passionate, if he’s feeling really romantic, or if you ask him nicely.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
He doesn’t mind them, even though he prefers to draw things out. But if it’s an opportunity to get physical with you, he’ll go for it. (He def does them when he’s about to leave for a mission, fucking you five minutes before he has to get to the hangar)
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
Mauga loves adrenaline and risky stuff, so absolutely. Will do whatever you want and/or are up for.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
He has lots of stamina, especially after his heart transplants. He will either go until you can’t take anymore or until he’s satisfied.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
Probably has a few, which are mainly for you. He uses them occasionally, but mostly prefers skin to skin contact.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
He loves to tease. Will edge you for hours before he finally gives you release. He’ll also taunt and mock you in the midst of it.
“Awww is it too much for my poor baby? Too bad.”
“You wanna cum so bad, don’t you? I can see you cryin for it. Be good and I’ll give it to you…eventually.”
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
He’s a pretty loud guy, not too loud, but loud enough to piss off your neighbors. Mainly growls, grunts, and groans. No whimpers..sorry :(
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
He’s a biter, especially with those sharp ass teeth of his. He loves to cover you with hickeys and bites, from your throat to the crook of your shoulder. He’ll complain whenever you try to cover them up, and if the marks start to fade, he’ll just leave more. Everyone has to know who you belong to, after all.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Okay, bear with me y’all…but Mauga is a huge ass guy, so my guess is 8.5 inches, more girthy than long, but not too thick. He has a pretty cock for sure, with a slight curve a veins or two running up it, and a dark brown tip.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Very high. It’s always been somewhat high but after his surgery and his whole mental shift to living on the edge, he decides that he does whatever he wants when he’s feeling it (dont get me wrong he is very intelligent and calculated, but sometimes he just destroys shit when he wants to, and the same can be said about sex lmao)
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
It takes him a little while. He always has to watch you fall asleep first, making sure you’re safe and comfortable in his arms. He strokes your hair, rubs soothing circles into your back, before he eventually falls asleep himself.

If you're down to write this, could i request a joel x reader smut with them in the full nelson position? 👀 i dont think ive ever seen it written for him! ♡
Before You Go | J.M.
Tumblr media
Pairing: joel miller x f!reader
Summary: Joel has to leave for patrol duty soon but you need his attention first.
Warnings: SMUT 18+ only mdni! PWMP, Asscrack of dawn sex, pet names, a smidge of daddy kink in there, unprotected p in v, nipple play, cream pie, dirty talk. Let me know if I missed anything!
Word Count:1.2K
Early mornings before Joel had to leave for patrol duty always turned into him grabbing you in his arms and telling you, "Jus' five more minutes baby I swear." You'd giggle still half asleep with your back flush against his chest and hum softly to yourself while he lightly fell back asleep for those few short moments.
It didn't start off any different this morning, your back pressed against him tightly like every morning. Only this time he noticed you were wearing a tank top that was stuck to you like a second skin. Joel's big hand snakes around and grabs your hip, hiking the material up to expose your skin.
"Hmmm, what's this you got on baby doll?" He mumbles against the crook of your neck as he bites the soft flesh gently before pressing a kiss on the bite mark.
“Yeah honey? You want me to give you some extra attention this mornin’? Look ‘atcha, needy little thing.” Nodding your approval, you whimper as you push against his front with your ass, the whimpers mixing deliciously with his barely audible grunts. Your eyes haven’t even opened yet and his hand was dipping into your panties, the sweet sticky folds slipping between his fingers.
“Oohhhhh fuck baby girl, were you just gonna keep all this to yourself?” His other hand that was tucked under your head wraps around your throat, his mouth pressing sloppy kisses against your cheek.
“Mm-mm, of course not Joel.” A giggle of overwhelming pleasure comes from your lips as his fingers bounce back and forth between rubbing your needy clit and your aching hole just begging to be stuffed full of his cock.
Joel’s hand releases your throat and trails down your chest, yanking your tank top down below your breasts. A grunt vibrates against your ear before Joel mutters, “these perfect fuckin’ tits. God damn you’re absolutely killin’ me princess. Half of me wants to take my time with ya, love on ya the way ya deserve it. But the other half of me…” He presses a sloppy kiss to your neck again as he pinches your nipples between this thumb and index finger.
“The other half of me wants to jus’ have my way with ya, really show ya how crazy ya make me.” Joel’s last few words were muffled by his kisses on your neck again, your mouth open and soft moans coming out of it. Every time he wanted to ravage you like a fucking animal just did something to you. It was sexy the way he couldn’t get enough of you no matter how many rounds you go.
“Oh fuck- please J-Joel please fuck me. I need you so bad ple-ease- mmmm”
The overstimulating feeling from his hands pinching your nipples and playing with your soaking wet pussy in your panties had you so turned on you’d agree to anything, you needed him.
Joel’s hand exits from your panties, the cold damp fabric falling against your pussy and sending a chill up your spine. “Take these off sweet girl. Now.” The waistband snaps against your skin as he hooks his finger around it enough for it to raise a tad before he lets go quickly.
He watches you closely as you push down your panties and kick them to the floor, your tank top not far behind. Joel moans and wipes his face as he scans over your gorgeous body.
“God damn baby girl. C’mere, I gotta have you right now.” He growls at you as he takes off his boxers, cock springing up and dripping pre-cum. His fist closes around the tip and tugs gently while he looks at you, imagining everything he’s about to do to you.
You get right back where you were and he grumbles, “No no no, get up here baby.” And tugs you up on him, his knees bent up and your back on his chest. He reaches under your thigh as your legs are on either side of his to hold yourself up and smacks his cock against your clit roughly, eliciting moans from you.
Without warning he shoves the swollen head inside your entrance and grabs your hips to push you down on his cock. “So fuckin’ tight around me, my god darlin’.”
Joel hooks his arms under your thighs right in the crook of your knees and pulls up, your feet dangling in the air as he starts pumping inside you. The wet squelching from your pussy fills the room and bounces off the walls, gaining moans from the pair of you.
“Fuc-k fuck Joel oh my god, fuck me just like that.” You moan out, and breathe deeply as you can feel him hitting you deep inside.
His hands hold the sides of your face with your legs still pressing against your chest. “Yeah baby you like when daddy’s got you so wrapped up you can’t go no where? Such a nasty girl.” He teases and pounds into you harder his balls start smacking against your pussy. Joel slows the speed but keeps ramming into you, grunting with every smack against you.
“Yeah baby, take this fuckin’ cock in that tight little pussy. Stay right there, right fuckin’ there” His teeth grit together and he moans louder when he hears how much you’re whimpering.
Your eyes squeeze shut once more at the pleasure coursing through your body and your arousal dripping down his cock and balls.
“Faster Daddy please, I wanna cum so badly for you.” Your toes curl and stomach starts to cave from your deep breaths. His thrusts pick up speed again and his balls clap against you once more, sticking slightly to your pussy as everything is coated in your slick.
“Yeah cmon darlin’. Be a good girl for daddy and cum all over my cock. Squeeze around me so I can cum inside you baby. Cmon baby..fuckkkk.”
Right about now you’d be squirming against him trying to run away from it feeling so good but he’s got you twisted you can’t go anywhere. All you can do is moan louder and louder at your impending orgasm building in your tummy.
“Joel- fuck- I’m gonna cum I’m- im gonna cum yes daddy yes- I’m cummi-“ your words are cut short by the squeals and cries as your orgasm floods your body. Joel groans at the sight of seeing how good your orgasm feel and he’s not too far behind you while he pumps deeper and deeper into you, panting he’s gonna fill you full.
He unhooks your legs and drops them down beside his as he unloads his cum in your pussy. Grunting with each pump, Joel holds your hips to keep you still.
He stays inside you as he grows soft, cock still twitching every so often. You both are panting, trying to catch your breath as you lay your top half on the bed and your bottom half still on Joel.
The small beads of sweat sit delicately on his forehead and the morning sun starts to pour inside the room from beyond the trees.
“Fuckin’ hell baby. You’re trynna kill me by expecting me to go to work now.” He chuckles and kisses your shoulder softly. You giggle and get off of him, rolling over on your tummy. “Just make sure you’re ready for round two later.”

Tumblr media
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
He is not a gentle nor kind lover. He is the Lord of the Seven Hells, King of the 72 demons of Goetia, the Lord of Infernal Sin; and if you want a gentle lover then look to Orphan of Goetia, NOT HIM.

He sometimes invites that mystic dancer to peg you so he can watch you both
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Space Shuttle Mission: STS-41-C (formerly STS-13)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The crew assigned to this mission included (left to right) Robert L. Crippen, commander; Terry J. Hart, mission specialist; James D. Van-Hoften, mission specialist; George D. Nelson, mission specialist; and Francis R. (Dick) Scobee, pilot.
Launched aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger on April 6, 1984 at 8:58:00 am (EST). This mission marked the first direct ascent trajectory for the Space Shuttle and used her Orbiter Maneuvering System (OMS) engines only once to get a high orbit, circularize its orbit at 331 miles (533 km). The crew deployed the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF). The crew captured and repaired the malfunctioning Solar Maximum Mission ("Solar Max") satellite. It was extended one day due to problems capturing the Solar Max satellite, and the landing at Edwards Air Force Base, instead of at Kennedy Space Center as had been planned.
The crew filmed their satellite repairs on an IMAX movie camera, and the results appeared in the 1985 IMAX movie The Dream is Alive.
Mission duration: April 6-13, 1984, 6 days, 23 hours, 40 minutes, and 7 seconds
This mission was originally intended to be STS-13.
Tumblr media
'The mission's sequence number originally had been STS-13, and it has been rumoured that the entire change in the numbering system for Space Shuttle missions after STS-9 was done to avoid having to fly 'STS-13'. NASA still remembered Apollo-13!! The crew, Robert Crippen, Francis 'Dick' Scobee, George 'Pinky' Nelson, Terry J. Hart and James van Hoften decided to challenge fate and Scobee designed a patch showing symbols of bad luck, such as a black cat, the number 13 and a Shuttle flying from underneath the cat to space. The patch has the crew's nicknames, CRIP, DICK, TJ, OX and PINKY on it."
Tumblr media
"Photo taken of the STS-41-C flight crew taken in the aft flight deck of the Challenger while in orbit include (left to right) mission commander Robert Crippen, mission specialists Terry Hart, James van Hoften and George Nelson, and mission pilot Francis (Dick) Scobee. Crew in photos are wearing shirts which read `'ACE SATELLITE REPAIR CO.`'"

Unraveling the Tapestry of Cellular Energy: A Comprehensive Voyage through the Electron Transport Chain 🧬⚙️
Prepare for a deep dive into the labyrinthine pathways of the Electron Transport Chain (ETC), where molecular machinations weave the intricate tapestry of cellular respiration. In this odyssey, we'll navigate the complexities with surgical precision, leaving no nuance unexplored.
1. Prelude at Complex I (NADH Dehydrogenase):
The ETC's overture commences at Complex I, where NADH, a product of glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, surrenders its high-energy electrons. Traverse the serpentine route of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and a succession of iron-sulfur clusters, witnessing the orchestrated dance that propels electrons toward the enigmatic ubiquinone (Q).
2. Interlude with Succinate (Complex II - Succinate Dehydrogenase):
As the symphony progresses, Complex II takes the stage with succinate as its protagonist. Succinate dehydrogenase, fueled by succinate from the Krebs cycle, orchestrates a parallel electron flow. Behold the ballet of electrons navigating iron-sulfur clusters and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), converging upon ubiquinone (Q) in a seamless choreography.
3. Cytochrome Waltz (Complex III - Cytochrome bc1 Complex):
The narrative crescendos at Complex III, the cytochrome bc1 complex, where Q takes center stage. Through a series of mesmerizing redox reactions, Q gracefully shuttles electrons to cytochrome c. This transient dancer becomes the ethereal messenger, ferrying electrons with finesse towards the climactic rendezvous at Complex IV.
4. Grand Finale with Complex IV (Cytochrome c Oxidase):
In the climactic finale, Complex IV, personified by cytochrome c oxidase, awaits the electron ensemble. Watch as electrons, guided by a cascade of copper and iron centers, engage in a captivating pas de deux with molecular oxygen. Witness the alchemical metamorphosis as oxygen is humbly transmuted into water, marking the zenith of our electron saga.
5. Proton Symphony and ATP Synthesis:
Simultaneously, the proton symphony unfolds as protons, displaced during electron transit, accumulate in the intermembrane space. This sets the stage for a grand energy transfer. The finale crescendos with protons flowing back through ATP synthase, a molecular turbine, culminating in the synthesis of ATP—the lifeblood of cellular energy currency.

nsfw alphabet for kyle "gaz" garrick.
Tumblr media
a is for aftercare! ... he's such a soft and caring lover, he would make sure you feel comfortable first before he worries about himself first but there will be times he can be unintentionally selfish, but with all his apologies, you can never stay too mad at him.
b is for body part! ... kyle is always a big fan of your thighs. you can literally crush him when he's giving oral and would love it, especially loves marking them with hickeys during foreplay and if he's the one on top, he loves to just grab and squeeze them during a full nelson position.
c is for cum! ... he's so cute, if he's about to cum, he'll usually beg for permission to cum inside whatever hole he's fucking. if you give permission, he'll try to stuff his entire dick in you when he does cum; has thought about cumming on your face before.
d is for dirty secret! ... really wants to try phone sex. he finds your voice overwhelming in the best way possible and can't help but imagine you guiding him to touch himself. during one of those nights you didn’t have a way to come see him and he was too tired to come to you, he got his first impression of what you sounded like when you were tired and it was enough to make him sleepily dry hump and grind against the sheets, the thought of your voice just too much.
e is for experience! ... decently experienced! he hasn't been with too many people besides previous partners, and he has to get used to your needs and wants.
f is for favorite position! ... anything where he can see your face. loves kissing you, looking into your eyes, and seeing your face when you cum. he's not really adventurous and likes to stick to simplicity but don't hesitate to ask, he would always be willing to try things out with you if you were both comfortable with the ideas.
g is for goofy! ... goes based on what kind of sex you’re having. if it’s intimate and slow, he’ll take it seriously; if it’s a little bit more of a quickie, he’ll try to slip a joke in.
h is for hair! ... probably doesn't have the time to take care of himself with his job, but if it was a big bother, he would try to nip it.
i is for intimacy! ... he loves to take his time with you and makes sure you're enjoying yourself. if his schedule is tight, he will go a little faster than usual but tries to not skip some form of foreplay.
j is for jerk off! ... usually has to retort to masturbating since your schedules never match up, especially on his end. if he usually has to, he won't watch porn and sticks to his own fantasies of you, or thinks back to previous nights he has spent with you.
k is for kink! ... edging and overstimulation are definitely two of his favorites. kyle doesn't mind being on the receiving end; enjoying every single agonizing second of the feeling of your hands on his trembling body, while just praising him for doing such a good job.
l is for location! ... he really likes private spaces, preferring to have you all to himself without the risk of being seen or caught but he will do it in semi-private areas, too.
m is for motivation! ... god, your voice? gets kyle going if you use certain tones, and he also gets motivated when you dress in revealing clothing.
n is for no! ... anything that could result in hurting each other is a basic answer but i feel like kyle also would especially not appreciate being choked or choking you, just feels icky about it. he loves your neck and might wrap his hand around it but the thought of squeezing it and cutting off your breathing is such an uncomfortable thought.
o is for oral! ... loves giving! he enjoys the way you grip his hair, trapping him between your thighs and the whines you make. one of his favorite ways to overstimulate you, especially. doesn't mind receiving oral and enjoys when you go down on him, but wants to establish it can be a two-way street.
p is for pace! ... it all depends on the moment. kyle overall loves going at a slow pace, showering you in praise and romantic affirmations, and showing appreciation for every inch of your body but there are times when he can be faster than usual, reduced to a groaning and whimpering mess in your ear. at the end he always speeds up and gets a little rough, just begging to cum in you, regardless of the pace.
q is for quickie! ... he often has to do quickies with you, just because of his job; usually right before he has to get ready to leave, or during those times he gets a few hours at home. if you get needy in public, he’ll try his best to take care of your problem as fast as possible.
r is for risk! ... i can't actually decide on whether or not he would be down for a change. if he is, he would voice his interest in it and see if you both feel comfortable with the idea; if you present the idea, he would listen to it and start figuring out ways to incorporate it next time you had sex just to see if you both like it.
s is for stamina! ... i think kyle is easily overstimulated, so he can feel overwhelmed by all the touching and would stop after a second round unless it’s purposeful overstimulation.
t is for toys! ... owns none, but isn’t against the idea of trying some out on you if you wanted.
u is for unfair! ... a small tease, gets off on you begging him to fuck you, especially if he’s giving you oral, he’ll make you beg for at least a good couple of seconds.
v is for volume! ... loud. he will moan, whimper, groan, all of it. he’s very vocal and has no problem showing it but if you are in a semi-private space, kyle can be really good at containing himself.
w is for wild card! ... kyle has an oral fixation. he always needs to have his mouth on you, kissing you, biting your neck, sliding his tongue up your torso.
x is for x-ray! ... on the thicker side with six inches! probably at least one vein on the underside of his dick.
y is for yearning! ... decently mild sex drive, mostly learning to keep himself under control for his job but when he can't, his urges can be strong and he's usually desperate for a release.
z is for zzz! ... doesn't fall asleep immediately unless it was a longer session. really tries to make sure you're good before focusing on himself. like to pass out with his arms around you, the position varies but it's usually you guys spooning or in the sweethearts cradle.

By: Leo Shane III
Published: Feb 5, 2024
Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough is overruling plans to ban the famous Times Square kiss photo marking the end of World War II from all department health care facilities, a move criticized as political correctness run amok.
The ban was announced internally at VA medical facilities late last month in a memo from RimaAnn Nelson, the Veterans Health Administration’s top operations official. Employees were instructed to “promptly” remove any depictions of the famous photo and replace it with imagery deemed more appropriate.
“The photograph, which depicts a non-consensual act, is inconsistent with the VA’s no-tolerance policy towards sexual harassment and assault,” the memo stated.
“To foster a more trauma-informed environment that promotes the psychological safety of our employees and the veterans we serve, photographs depicting the ‘V-J Day in Times Square’ should be removed from all Veterans Health Administration facilities.”
The memo garnered public scrutiny after it was posted online by the X account EndWokeness on Tuesday.
Just hours later, McDonough took to social media to reverse the memo.
“This image is not banned from VA facilities — and we will keep it in VA facilities,” said a post from his official X account. Department officials echoed in a separate statement that “VA will NOT be banning this photo from VA facilities.”
Officials said the memo should not have been sent out and was formally rescinded on Tuesday. They did not provide details of whether senior leaders were consulted on the matter ahead of Nelson’s memo.
The photograph was taken by journalist Alfred Eisenstaedt in New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, as Americans celebrated Japan’s surrender at the end of World War II. Other journalists, including military reporters, also captured the moment.
The shot shows a U.S. sailor grabbing and kissing a woman he did not know amid a joyous, party atmosphere in Times Square. The identities of the individuals in the photo have been disputed over the years.
In her memo, Nelson noted that use of the photo in VA facilities “was initially intended to celebrate and commemorate the end of World War II and the triumphant return of American soldiers. However, perspectives on historical events and their representations evolve.”
Nelson wrote that the non-consensual nature of the kiss and “debates on consent and the appropriateness of celebrating such images” led to the decision. Senior leaders did not provide an explanation for the reversal.
VA officials could not provide details on how many facilities are currently displaying the photo and whether veterans have complained about use of the image.
McDonough has made veterans outreach and inclusion key priorities for the department over the last three years, including rewriting the VA motto with gender-neutral language.
==
Activists always take it upon themselves to make themselves the center of any issue. If they feel offended, then everyone else must feel offended as well. Even - and usually especially - if the activist feels offended on someone else's behalf.
You don't get to pretend you're more offended than the people who were actually there and were actually involved.

Jenny and the Gang: An Interview With Joe Macaré & Nelson Evergreen
Today, October 24th, 2023, marks the 21st anniversary of Name’s Not Down, commonly regarded as the first completed Jenny Everywhere comic story. The work of Joe Macaré and Nelson Evergreen, it was formally released into the public domain on Jenny Everywhere Day last year alongside its sequel, Damn Fine Hostile Takeover, at my own instigation.
Having managed to track down both of these highly esteemed creators — long since departed from the Jenny Everywhere community — it was then my duty and my very great pleasure to conduct the first-ever joint Jenny-centric interview of two of the honoured few who shaped the character in her infancy.
Goggles on! Shift to Interviewspace in three… two… one…
How would you introduce yourselves to Jenny Everywhere readers?
Joe: My name is Joe Macaré (he/him), and I was raised in the Midlands (UK) and now live in the Midwest (US). I work in fundraising and communications, currently for a LGBT+ rights advocacy organization.
Nelson: I’m Neil Evans, a Welsh illustrator and comic artist occasionally going by the pseudonym Nelson Evergreen. I moved back to my hometown of Wrexham, North Wales in 2017, after twenty merry years in Brighton on the south coast of England. Illustration work this year includes a version of George Orwell’s 1984 (Oxford University Press), an anthology of weird — and often terrifying — Christmas folklore from around the globe (Cider Mill Press) and a 72 page graphic novel detailing the life of Mamie Phipps Clarke, the psychologist and activist whose research with her husband Kenneth was key to the abolition of racial segregation in US schools (Magination Press).  Between jobs I’m busy with various ongoing personal labours of love, a couple of which are, after years of agonisingly glacial/troubled development, tantalisingly close to shareable. You can find me at neil-evans.net!
How did you originally learn about Jenny, and what led to your creating full comics starring the character? If those are different questions, what did you/do you like about the character — was it the open-source nature of the project? The appeal of Jenny herself as a protagonist? Something else?
J: I was active on the Barbelith message board from 2000-200something; closer to the truth to say that around the time Jenny Everywhere was created I was deeply, deeply enmeshed on that forum and in that community. It was my first internet “home” and so it’s probably accurate to say that I was initially drawn to the character because it was a Barbelith creative project and therefore something I wanted to be a part of.  But also, when Steven “Moriarty” Wintle drew that first sketch, it definitely popped. Jenny, especially with the paragraph description attached, seemed like someone I knew, or someone I would like to know. An idealized avatar in some ways, but a plausible person in others.
N: I found Barbelith not long after I began “boxsetting” The Invisibles (very belatedly, it was close to the end of the comic’s run), and got quite addicted to the forum. It was a good place.  I’d been messing about making music in bands for a few years, neglecting the illustration/comic side of things, and wanted to get back into drawing… and Barbelith happened to have lots of folk who were very good with words. So I posted a few pieces of work and asked if anyone had any comic scripts they wanted drawn, and I’m guessing Moriarty/Steven’s Jenny thread must have appeared at around that time or very shortly after..? Joe and I had certainly already touched on the idea of working together, so when Jenny appeared I think we just took it as read that that was “the one”.  With Jenny, the initial appeal for me was the very unique nature of her potential: the dozens/hundreds/thousands of different ways the character could go, depending on who’s working with her. Also, I’m generally quite content in my own company - god knows, you have to be when you’re illustrating comics - but I loved the online hubbub around her at that time. There was something really… *cosy* about knowing others were working on their own versions of this character. So that was another huge part of the appeal, that sense of community.
Even though the multiversal gimmick is one of the first things people hear about Jenny, neither Name's Not Down nor Damn Fine Hostile Takeover make any direct reference to it. Was this a conscious choice, and if so, what motivated it?
J: For my part it was a conscious choice and it had a lot to do with the kind of comics I was reading at the time and being influenced by. At the time, complicated continuities and parallel universes seemed like slightly embarrassing excesses that characterized Marvel/DC superhero comics. They were prog rock, and were being challenged by a new wave of what Oni Press called “real mainstream” indie comics. Punchy, punky, often black & white, and very self-consciously influenced more by movies, TV, and music than by superhero comics. You could put fantastical elements in there but nothing that demanded a long explanation. Now, not only did the idea of making comics without multiverses become the mainstream, so that they were more like movies and TV, turn out to be onto a losing proposition and *the exact opposite of what happened,* for better or worse, but half the star writers and comics “thinkers” of the time later turned out to be predatory creeps. Whoops! But at the time, this was the cultural scene that shaped what I wanted to write. A comic you wouldn’t be embarrassed to be seen reading at the zine fair or dance party. Of course, goody nerd that I’ve always been, I couldn’t help but include Smallville references, so any attempt to be consciously cool was always somewhat doomed.
Were there any interesting, non-obvious inspirations or references baked into these stories, that you'd like to share? 
J: Oh god, sometimes I think those scripts were nothing *but* references and it’s quite possible I’ve forgotten some of them now. I mean I’d be very embarrassed by all the Smallville references were it not for the fact that I remember that in the UK, the show was aired in the Sunday morning block which made it perfect hangover television.  Clea was named after Clea Duvall. Bradley was named the somewhat obscure 2000 AD character. I think the most obscure influence/reference is having the character Lex, who considers himself a charmer, always introduce himself by saying “Greetings!” That’s a reference to eldest son Joey in the late 1980s BBC comedy series, Bread. That one was probably only noticed by other British people my age who grew up relating greatly to a show about a working class family with an absent father who constantly worried about money. The television I watched as a kid also led to me choosing Apollo Coffee as the name of the Starbucks stand-in, Starbuck and Apollo being a reference to the original Battlestar Galactica (the reboot had not yet come along!). “Damn Fine Hostile Takeover” is obviously extremely far from a serious piece of political polemic, but I do remember consciously wanting to introduce at least a small flavor of agitprop, compared to “Name’s Not Down” which is mostly just a power fantasy about beating up needlessly aggressive doormen to get into a club. The early political “analysis” I had at the time, which didn’t go much beyond big corporate chains being bad and small local independent coffee shops being good, was obviously influenced by stuff like Naomi Klein’s No Logo. And a sort of bastardized pop culture version of that, that had showed up in things like Grant Morrison’s Marvel Boy. Oh, and a misunderstood El-P lyric. Speaking of Morrison, as befits a character created on Barbelith, that approach of “shove in references to everything you’re inspired by, watching, reading, or listening to at the particular moment you’re writing the comic” was very much inspired by Morrison in general and The Invisibles in particular. Although the Morrison comic I was most trying to emulate, at least in “Name’s Not Down” was Kill Your Boyfriend. But also, the whole reason I set those comics in a thinly fictionalized version of Brighton is because at the time, I was living in London and knew a bunch of people in Brighton (again, many of them through Barbelith, or adjacent to people I’d met via that place). They all seemed very impressive and cool to me at the time: people who put on club nights (It Came From The Sea), wrote about music (Careless Talk Costs Lives / Plan B), or on whom I just had a really big crush. I would take the train down to Brighton many weekends and it loomed large in my imagination. Although there’s no evidence of this on Google, I did not invent calling it “Right-On”: that’s another thing I stole or borrowed and can’t remember from whom or where.
How detailed were the scripts/how much freedom was there on the art end of things? Did you start from a synopsis, or a script, or a storyboard? Are there any notable ways in which the finished works differed from the original outline?
N: I can’t refer to them because I lost my copies in a hard drive calamity a couple of years later, but I remember being struck by how full of gusto and enthusiasm Joe’s scripts were. They really got me fired up to draw. The stage directions had the same infectious energy as the dialogue. I get some quite perfunctory scripts in my line of work — and that’s fine — but I do appreciate the ones that go above and beyond.  I think I’m right in recalling the scripts as being very precise..? Joe had a very clear idea of the pacing, and how the story and gags would flow from panel to panel. The dialogue was all there from the start. I remember reading through and immediately getting a clear mental picture of how it was all going to look. It was very tightly scripted but not in a way that felt restrictive, it was very free and easy to illustrate. And it gave me plenty of leeway to come up with hordes of characters/creatures in those big ensemble panels.
J: I no longer have the scripts so I’m going from memory, but: I wrote pretty detailed scripts but I definitely had panels or entire pages where I encouraged Nelson Evergreen to cut loose and add whatever details and weird characters sprang to his mind. This is as good a place as any to state that I got phenomenally lucky when Nelson agreed to collaborate. Of all the artists who were kicking around Barbelith at the time and who were at all interested in the project, he was perhaps the most talented and I certainly can’t imagine anyone else who would have drawn those comics as well, or that they would have been received as warmly had they been drawn by anyone else.
A mysterious bald man makes conspicuous cameos in both of your long-form Jenny comics. What's the significance of this character? Some of us in the Jenny Everywhere Discord suggested he might have been meant to be Grant Morrison themself, owing to the focus of the forum on which Jenny originally appeared; short of that, we have no idea… 
N: I *think* he was my addition, but again, without having the scripts to hand, my memory may be playing tricks on me. I mean, he *looks* like the sort of thing I’d have thrown in! I’ve always enjoyed the sight of one lone person looking utterly severe/unimpressed in the midst of general merriment, and I’m guessing I improvised MBM in one panel, he made me laugh, so I put him in another, and then another. Dave, the keyboard player in my band at the time, had that exact t-shirt, with the “Guides” logo, which he wore all the bloody time, and that must have seemed to me like the perfect outfit. So yeah, just a silly little running visual thing I threw in off the cuff to amuse myself really. Looking back at if from a distance, he *does* look quite significant, doesn’t he? Sorry! I feel like a right troll. 
You've stated in the past that you included the Jenny Nowhere cliffhanger in Damn Fine Hostile Takeover without a conscious plan for what that story might be about — but did you ever have any plans for further Jenny stories that didn't materialise? If so, what were they about? And if you had to write the Nowhere story, what might it be like?
J: The only idea I remember from “The Two Jennys” was that Jenny Nowhere would have made her base of operations the Right-On version of the ruined West Pier (the real world version of which in Brighton is now even more skeletal and not practical for even the most doomer supervillain to use as a hideout). I think it would have culminated in a Quadrophenia-style beach brawl between each Jenny’s followers (Nowhere’s gang all being various black-clad kinds of goths, punks, and techno-nihilists, in contrast to Everywhere’s more brightly colored subcultures). But it’s been long enough now that I can confess that at various points I was working on two or three other ideas for follow-up stories.  One was entitled “Dance-Off 2004” (the year kept changing as it got delayed) and the concept speaks for itself. Then there was “You Say Derby! We Say Die!” which was not a reference to the town in the Midlands but rather to my interest in roller derby which peaked circa 2007-2009 or so (and was named after the band You Say Party). But the last time I was kicking an idea around, it was 2012 and I was already thinking about something with a very different tone that was based around the idea of the Jenny Everywhere “gang” reuniting after going their separate ways. Lex now runs a pub and is married (to Lois from the coffee shop) with two kids. Bradley made a fortune designing extremely blasphemous videogames. Clea is an academic in San Francisco. Everyone quit smoking. Those three aforementioned sequels that never got made would appear as flashback panels, a montage of sorts, unfinished comics repurposed as “lost/secret adventures.” The tone for this was once again stolen from a Grant Morrison comic, namely the “zzzzenith.com” one-off sequel to Zenith. Less a sequel, more a bittersweet look back at an era.
If you've kept up with more recent Jenny projects to one degree or another, what are your thoughts on them? 
N: I haven’t, but they’re on the ‘to do’ list.
If you had limitless time and budget for it, what would be your “dream” Jenny project?
N: Limitless time and budget…? Oooooh. Multiverse versions of the Right-On gang. Sci-fi stuff, cosmic stuff. Stuff that’s wild to draw. The same snappy feel and flow of the originals, but with extra helpings of the rainy melancholy Joe brought in at the close of Damn Fine Hostile Takeover. 
Do you think you'll ever return to the character? How differently would you approach it if you did?
N: Time permitting, absolutely. It was fun. 
J: Well, the gap in time since I last toyed with the idea of a nostalgic sequel comic is now longer than the original time period between the first comics and that one. And those years mean that I both feel more distance from my version of the character, and the supporting cast I gave her, but also more unqualified affection. I joked about embarrassment earlier but it’s actually been long enough now that I’ve passed through and out of the period where I found anything about it embarrassing. What I was writing reflects who I was at the time and also maybe a little of where the zeitgeist was: the violence is cartoony, there’s no consequences to it, and there’s what I would call a Bush-era assumption that going out and partying is in itself halfway to being some kind of act of resistance. For me those comics are a memento from a very specific time in my life, and if I wrote something about that particular Jenny Everywhere now, it would definitely be an older, wiser version. As a sober 45 year-old living in Chicago, Illinois, looking back at something I wrote when I was a heavy-drinking Londoner in his early 20s, it’s even more bittersweet and melancholy.  Jenny and the gang were supposed to be reminiscent of various friends of my own. Over the course of 20 years, you inevitably lose touch with people. You move far away physically (I relocated to a different continent!), you drift apart. And sometimes you fall out with people, and sometimes people die, both of which have happened to me. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Nila Gupta (rest in power) here, who was a big inspiration for my version of Jenny and for my general idea of a gang of cool anti-corporate people running amok in Right-On.  Losing people who used to be part of your life is individually tragic but it’s also the kind of experience you’re a lot more likely to have by the time you’re 45 than when you’re 23. If this answer sounds like it’s turning into a bummer, it shouldn’t entirely, because the flipside to that is you do develop some perspective, some better priorities, some sense of what you’re supposed to be doing with your life.
N: Oh Nila… ❤️ I had no idea your Jenny was inspired by them. That's beautiful. 
Tumblr media
And that's all, folks! They'll be reading this over, so I want to thank Joe and Neil/Nelson again, both for helping to create a character who still means so much to so many of us, niche though she may be… and for taking the time to bring us these insightful, entertaining, and often moving glimpses into the mental world from which Jenny — at least their Jenny — first sprung.
Happy Jenniversary, and thanks for everything!

Could you the nsfw alphabet with james? If it's not a bother ofc
Don't worry, it doesn't bother me.
Here ya go
James NSFW Alphabet
Tumblr media
A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)
B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
James will check up on you if you're seriously hurt. He tends to get lost in the moment when he fucks you. Digging his nails in and grabbing you too hard might leave you scratches and small bruises on your skin. He'll gently try to wrap his arms around you and snuggle you very close. If you fall asleep first, he takes a moment to look at you and just admires you.
His favorite body part of his own is his body physique. It took him 3 years to beef up his own body and he's very proud of that. He used to be a lanky boy.
C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)
His favorite body part of you is your waist. James will always grab your waist or cling on to with his hands. As a way to be more close to you and another way to be protective of you.
D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
His cum is very thick and comes into big loads. He loves creampie, if you're ok with him cuming inside you. Seeing your overused hole being filled with his cum makes him feel satisfied. James also likes it if you try to swallow his cum from giving him a blow job. Even if you couldn't, and you made a mess, it's fine. You look sexy like that.
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)
You begging for him to be with him. To leave your old life and make a new one with him. Seeing you all needy and infatuated with him makes him go crazy. Both in a romantic, sexual, and unstable way. He wants to restrain you and fuck you until you go dumb on his cock. James wants you to submit to him.
F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)
Inexperience. James is doing on pure instinct and seeing by your body language what you like and don't like. Don't be afraid to tell him what makes you feel good and comfortable because he'll learn pretty quickly.
The Mating Press
Full Nelson
The Wall
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)
Doggy Style
H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)
Serious. Sex for him besides making you his, is a way to show he loves you very much. Giving your consent to have sex with James makes him happy both emotionally and sexually. He wants you. He needs you. H E N E E D S Y O U .
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)
James doesn't need to worry about shaving. That's because he barely has hair down there to begin with.
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
James tries to be romantic but it comes out very possessive and animalistic. He says he loves you so much that nobody can have you. He hugs you way too tight as if you're about to leave him. He gives you kisses which turns into bites to mark you up. He looks at you with love in his eyes but with a mix of feral lust.
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)
James masturbates to release stress, or morning wood before he meet you. Now, he doesn't anymore because you're here to solve that problem. If you're not around, he'll try to find you.
Overstimulation
Orgasm Control/ Slight edging
Breath Play
Dacraphilia
Biting Kink
Knife Play
Blood Kink
Spanking
Bondage
Slight Size Kink
L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)
Slight Degradation
In your home, or his "home" if he has to but doesn't mind. Any space that is private or there aren't any people.
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)
N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
You being desperate or needy for him. You looking pathetic, worthless, or defeated. ( He literally thought how fuckable you look when you lost a bet from him bruh ) Wearing something sexual or to impress him. James thinking about you then his mind wonders how you look hot beneath him. Teasing him, or you can simply ask.
Anything to do with him not being in control. It makes him feel powerless and angry.
Mommy/Daddy Kinks and Age Play makes him VERY uncomfortable.
Master/Sir doesn't feel right for him to be called. Just say his name.
Not a fan of watersports or feet.
O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)
Forcing you to do something that you're uncomfortable with.
P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)
He loves doing both. James has his arms around your legs and head buried into your hickey marked thighs. Slurping and sucking your sex and is addicted to your cum. You sucking his fat cock and he loves how warm your mouth feels. James grabs your head and fucks your face. He likes you choking on his dick and making those cute noises you make.
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)
Very rough but not too fast or slow pace. He likes to pound his cock and makes those slapping/wet noises into you. If James is being fast, he's feeling jealous/ angry or feral. If he's doing it slow, he is teasing you.
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)
Nope. James likes to put his hands all around you to play with. He does this so he'll remember how your body feels around him. Remember your sensitive spots and taking advantage of them. You can say he's worshiping your body before he can ruin it. Savoring you...
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)
Depends on what it is. As long as he can be the top and in control it's fine. You being the top one? You want to use a strapon to peg him? You want him to be tied up rather then you?. NO. NEVER.
T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
Very high stamina. I give him 5 rounds for fucking you silly.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
He hates them. Why need them if you can have the real deal right in front of you. James feels annoyed that this thing can make you cum and he doesn't like it. Only he can do that to you. No one and thing can. Don't try to hide it from him, he's gonna know and edge you as punishment.
He loves to tease just to hear you whine and beg for him to cum. Seeing your face looking so pathetic for him makes him want to play with you more. Sometimes he teases you as a way for you to say something.
V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)
" Tell me that you love me... I'm not letting you cum if you don't say it. "
W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)
James groans and growls and he may get loud. It's not his fault that the way your hole is wrapping around his cock so nice for him. Saying some dirty stuff to you, and how good you make him feel. Telling you he loves you a bunch of times and to never leave him.
X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)
James is secretly insecure about his scars on his back, shoulders, and face. If you happen to lightly brush or caress his scars in a caring manner, he'll melt from your touch. He feels all mushy inside and warm. He loves the soft and caring touches from you. Which turns into very gentle and sensual sex for the both of you admiring each other.
James's cock is big enough to fill you in the right places and curves upward. Very girthy and has a vein on his left side of his dick. He has a Jacob's Ladder piercing on his shaft which gives you more stimulation when you guys are fucking. He is circumcised and his balls are hanging. He's a shower, he grows at least one inch when he's erect.
Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)
Am I going to tell you how big he is by number? No, you can guess.
Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Very high after meeting you. He just wanna show you how much he loves you by shoving his fat cock inside you to make you his. A yearning to make love to you and a yearning to claim you.
He won't fall asleep until he gets to cuddle you in his arms. Ever since you snuggle nicely on him, he manages to have a great night sleep. You comfort him...

Miguel O'hara NSFW Alphabet
Tumblr media
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Absolute king of aftercare. Makes sure you're alright, draws you a bath, you both massage each other in said bath and you fall asleep in his arms.
B = Body part (their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
He has a lot of pride in his back and shoulders, loves that he's strong enough to be able to lift you in any scenario (positions and just carrying you around)
As for you, this man loves everything about you but his favourite would have to be either your ass or thighs. On a wholesome note, he loves your eyes. Loves maintaining eye contact during the deed and will hold you by the chin just to make you look at him as he ruins you.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Would love to cum in you but only when he’s ready for a family so for now he would instead cum on either your ass or thighs. Also loves it when you swallow his cum or wipe it off of yourself and put it in your mouth tho.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
 He’s kinda into saying empty threats of what if someone walks in on the two of you and them seeing how well he ruins you. He kind of wants to know if you’d tighten around him knowing that someone could walk in on the two of you at any moment.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Mans had a child, he definitely knows what to do, knows every nook and cranny of your body and how to please you in more ways than one, causing you to make a mess everywhere.
F = Favourite position (this goes without saying)
Both mating press and full nelson. For the mating press he loves folding you in half, having you spread so that you can take all of him in you. He loves standing in front during full nelson, making you look at both yourself and him through the mirror as you make a mess all over him.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
He’d be quite serious, if you attempted to joke or anything he would probably shut you up by kissing you and or toying with your clit harder than he was before.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
He’s pretty busy being spider man but always makes time to groom himself. He keeps himself neatly trimmed, doesn't let it get messy. 
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
Loves touching you, his hands are all over you, he whispers constant praise, maybe some degradation if you ask. Tells you how good you are for him and how much he loves you.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
He’s jerked off in his office more than once thinking about you, taking you in his office, even if someone was right outside the door and could hear the two of you.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Breeding and thigh riding, loves the thought of pumping you full of his seed until he’s fucked a child into you. He can’t get enough of watching you try to get yourself off on his thighs. He also loves marking you, leaving hickeys and love bites from his fangs (ignore that they are venomous).
L = Location (favourite places to do the do)
He likes the privacy of your guys bedroom but I can see him taking you in an alleyway (far enough away from people of course), also maybe his office when he's stressed and pent up from work and you can help relieve him.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
When he sees marks he's previously left on you it only makes him want to add more. Loves when you tug at his hair or scratch his back while he’s railing you, it’s like another way of you telling him how good he makes you feel. If you squirt this man is immediately hard, even if he just came seconds ago.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
He wouldn’t do anything gross like skat or pissplay. Also ageplay
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Prefers to gives, making you cum at least a couple times from his mouth and hands but he wouldn't deny your advances to give him a blowjob
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
The first time you guys had sex he was slow and sensual, wanting to savour the moment with you, but now he's slow and hard when he starts but he progressively gets rougher. He would start rough if you ask.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
Prefers to be intimate with you but will not be opposed to them if you happen to get him riled up when you guys are on a time crunch.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
He would be hesitant to do things like spanking and choking because he wouldn’t want to hurt you but if you keep encouraging him and letting him know you're ok then he would be ok with it. 
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
He lasts around 8-10 minutes but can go around 3 rounds (maybe 4 or 5 if you really get him going). He always makes sure you cum at least 5 times, sometimes overstimulating you in the process.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
I know this man looks good tied up, but I can’t see him asking to be tied up, however I can see him tying you up. Maybe teasing you with a vibrator and leaving it against your clit if you’ve pissed him off a little as punishment.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
When he’s feeling more dominant he would definitely tease you more, making you try to get yourself off with his thigh or with your own hands in front of him. Sometimes he’s too riled up to tease you that much though and just has to fuck you himself.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
He's not too loud but he does make noises. Mainly grunts but some whimpers every now and then. And of course praise and degradation, depending on the mood.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
If you two were to try for kids, he would totally keep his cock in you for the whole night, making sure you leak as little of his cum as possible.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
5 inches when he's soft but bordering 7 inches when he’s hard. He's pretty girthy, around 6 inches in circumference.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
He can normally keep his composure but there are a few scenarios or things you could do that would either slowly get to him or turn him on immediately. (his marks on you being visible, accidentally walking in on you masturbating, etc.) He would masturbate around 3 times a week (not unless you're there for him).
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
He always makes sure that you’re asleep before him, then he’ll slowly drift asleep with his arms wrapped around you, holding you close against him.

Sunday Afternoon Session
Conducting: Henry B. Eyring
For All the Saints
Elder Dale G. Renlund
King Tutankhamun and the finding of Tuts tomb
He is our mark – if we imagine there is something beyond what He offers, we deny all His blessings
Focus on Him intentionally
Baptismal water doesn’t wash away sins. That is why we have the opportunity to repent.
Approach the sacrament the same way a new convert approaches baptism – with a contrite heart and spirit
With the temple close it can be easy to let little things get in the way of attending – do not take the temple for granted. When we do we look beyond the mark
Do not praise exotic sources for being enlightened – sometimes that is not the case
Remember and always focus on Jesus Christ. He is our Savior and Redeemer, the Mark towards whom we should look, and our Greatest Treasure
Elder John C Pingree Jr. 70
What is our understanding of truth in today’s world?
What is truth and why is it important?
Where do we find truth?
When we find truth how do we share it?
1 God is THE source of eternal truth.
2 The Holy Ghost testifies of all truth.
3 Prophets receive truth from God, and share that truth with us
4 We all play a crucial role in this process. God expects us to seek, receive and act on truth
Our ability to receive and understand truth is dependent on our relationship with God
Is the concept taught consistently in the scriptures and by living prophets?
Is it confirmed by the Holy Ghost?
Doctrine = eternal truths such as God is our eternal Father, Christ’s atonement etc
Unchangeable
Policy =application of doctrine based on current circumstances
Subject to change
Teach truth in a way that invites the converting power of the Holy Ghost
Truth should be conveyed with Christlike love – love without truth is hollow and lacks the promise of growth
Tell Me the Stories of Jesus
Elder Valeri V Cordon, 70
Help children establish a gospel culture
Righteous Intentional Parenting
1 Teach Freely
Liberally, generously, and without restraint
Spend meaningful time with them, use church resources (church moveis, come follow me)
2 Model Discipleship
By example keep the sabbath day holy, keep temple covenants.
3 Invite to Act
To seek individual revelation, work for and nurture their own testimony
We are God’s agents for our children. Create an environment where they can feel His love and guidance.
Accidental conversion is not a principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ
God will do everything He can without violating your agency.
As a parent you should do the same
Elder J. Kimo Esplin, 70
Hawaii and the battle of Okinawa
Baptisms for the dead, and temple work. People being taught in the spirit world.
Temple blessings can heal so much.
The Saviors work is to bind people together
Rejoice the Lord is King
Elder Garrit W. Gong Q of 12
Morse code locket “I I you”
Multilingual “I” “I” (Chinese ai) “You” = I love you
Languages of Gospel love
Warmth and Reverence
Service and Sacrifice
Covenant and Belonging
Daily sacrifices matter
Remember to speak with warmth and reverence about the Lord’s work
Sometimes things can affect our ability to serve, but hopefully never our desire
You need to feel the Lord’s love for those you serve – and for you when you serve.
When we serve in the gospel together, we find fewer faults and greater peace
Remember to minister with your hearts
Sociality and service often go together
The more we serve the better we can understand the nature of Christ.
Elder Christophe G. Giraud-Carrier 70
1 Samuel 16:7
God looks on the heart
We are His children, all of us without exception.
How sad is it that we honor labels more than we honor each other?
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the mediator
Discrimination is not ok
How we treat each other really matters.
I’ll Walk with You children’s song
Like Christ love others because it is the right thing to do.
Consider the Lillies
President Russell M. Nelson
What is the secret to living so long?
No what have I learned in almost a century if living
Heavenly Fathers plan for us is fabulous
This plan takes the mystery out of what comes next
What we do in this life matters
Savior’s atonement makes the plan possible
Adopt the practice of Thinking Celestial tm
Being spiritually minding
Mortality is a masterclass in learning what is of greatest eternal importance
Begin with the end in mind – carefully consider where each of your decisions will put you in the next life
Where will each decision place you? You get to choose
Take the long view – the eternal view
Put Jesus Christ first
Your obsession becomes your god – you look to it rather than to Him for solace
Struggling with addiction? Seek professional and spiritual help
Be chaste to attain celestial glory
Seek guidance from trusted voices
There are lots of things we can do to build faith
Temples!
Savai’i, Samoa
Cancún, Mexico
Piura, Peru
Huancayo, Peru
Viña del Mar, Chile
Goiãnia, Brazil
João Pessoa, Brazil
Calabar, Nigeria
Cape Coast, Ghana
Luanda, Angola
Mbuji-Mayi, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Laoag, Philippines
Osaka, Japan
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Roanoke, Virginia
Kahului, Hawaii
